.4g Scarcity of labor afflicts not only
Ireland, but England. Most persons will be
surprised at this, as there is supposed 10 be
Il large surplus population in that country
The London Times, however, in its issue of
the 9TH inst, says:
"From ali parts of the country there is a
complaint Of the want OF labor 10 get in the
harvest. The great Irish supply is not so
copious as it was, and our own population is
said to be running short. In some counties
the militia has been allowed n fortnight to
help in the field. The difficulty, indeed is
only matter Of dcgrace, and has been one
of iequent, if not annual occurrence in this
couatry; but just now, while there are So
many drains on the population, the difficulty
assumes political color, and sort Of panic
has arisen"

at the time they should learn trade, has
done more than anything else toward filling
prisons.

s4Ss- Prof. Henry says that the curious
phenomenon of the blowing off of the horses
shoes during the late terrible powder eXpIo-

inertia. The shoes were not blown away
from the dead horses, but the horses were
blown off the shoes-the gravity OF the shoe
being seven, while the specific gravity OF the
whole horse is bat one.

So so per cwt. net, for November delivery,
and now holders ask sc 3j. For December
delivery, we hear OF no Observation-Disclosures
ask SO, and purchases could not be made be-
low this rate. The stock of old Pork and
Bacon in this market is very small, and before
the new comes in, will be entirely exhausted.
This will be the case, it is supposed, in all
the leading markets; and this consideration,
together with the advices from England by
the last steamer, leads to the conclusion that
high rates will be obtained for all the meat
brought into the market early. Contracts are
being made in Indiana at So 80 per cwt net,
