"a From the Freeport Journal
The gentlemen, to whom Freeport is in
debted for this addition to its manufactur-
ing institutions, calculated wisely and with
forekDowledge, in organizing their enter
prise. The WOODEN factory has now been in
successful operation several months, and so
great is the pressure upon its looms by
home customers, that they are unable to
manufacture yard of cloth for the general
market. The orders now OH hand for full
cloths and cassimeres for home consumption.
will require months to be filled. Their
cloths compare with the best of Eastern
manufactures, and we confidently believe
that the day is not far distant when this
important branch of the business of our city
will be enlarged sufficiently to render i'm
portations of cassimeres jeans, and all kinds
of full cloths unnecessary, while, on the con
trsry, among our expectations will be found
large quantities of these articles.
We are happy to learn that there is a pro
ject on foot to start another WOODEN factory

Brigandage in Italy.
PORTLAND.

Advices from Southern Italy reveal truly
pleasant state of affairs.
A letter from Rome states that half of the
French army has now been withdrawn, and
that the strength of the remainder is less than
5000 men. The Pope still affects to believe
that Napoleon win not carry out the Conven-
ton of September. Meanwhile the Romans
have been stirred to an extraordinary degree
of excitement by Victor Emmanuel's speech
at the opening of the italian Parliament. Car
dinal Antonelli is doing his best for his mas
ter. His tactiqae is to make out that Rome
is quite willing to come to terms with Italy,
but to carefully avoid any real approach to an
understanding, and thus gain time while do
ing nothing. Since the first half ofthe French
army has been recalled brigandage has become
unfortunately more prevalent and more auda-
cious than before. This, next to the desper-
ate state of the Roman finances, is the most
serious malady under which the Pontiical
Government is suffering.
Italy, however, is by no means free from this
plague. The accounts from Naples say that
gands pursue their depredations. Not long
ago band posted themselves on the road that
Victor Emmanuel passed over few hours af-
forwards, and seized a public conveyance in
which were twelve passengers. Six of them
were carried off to the mountains, and their
captors are demanding enormous ransoms for
them. Among the prisoners is commercial
traveller, who has written to his friends at Ma
pies to implore that the troops may be kept
back from pursuing for few days, since if the
soldiers should come up with them the bri-
gands threaten to kill all their captives. The
bearer of this message was himself brigand,
and he bore with him recommendation from
one of the prisoners to police inspector, who
(such is the state of affairs at Naples) hid the
brigand while the negotiations for ransom
were going on. Another wealthy young man
of Saleno having been captured is in treaty
for his ransom with the brigand chief Giar-
dullo, who is actually in prison, but is allowed
= to act on behalf of his late colleagues. 81

Hit Already.

The price ofcopper has gone up forty pounds
sterling per ton; and England has begged
Spain to leave Chill alone. But Spain is not
SO ready to listen to England's voice. She
answers Lord Russelps remonstrance with the
assurance that Spain "has resolved not to per
init its dignity, causelessly and gratuitously
affronted, to remain without the just repara-
tion to which it is entitled"
Now, Spain is a third-rate power, and some
years ago England would have followed up her
remonstrance against such power with
demand. But circumstance alter cases; the
Spectator remarks: 'If England goes step
further than advice, it is very doubtful wheth-
er the Spanish nation, morbidly proud and
sensitive. aware that its trade is of minor inn
nortance. and conscious that at the worst it
ronId lose to us only the Philippines, would
not accept the challenge. Short of iorce there
appears no remedy, and no English Ministry
would willingly give the signal for what might
prove general European war more especially
ichile a false precedent, still unremoued, icoald
aIiov Spain to cOuer every sea acih american

This is where the shoe pinches, and win COZ
tinue to pinch, until England pays up and sets
herself right before the world. We need not
be impatient; we can afford to wait. The

would some day very gladly pay all our Ala
