A hout 800 carpenters in this city are on
strike and out of employment, demanding 81
per day instead of $3.50, which they have been
getting. As building mechanics are most in
demand now, the business of most other trades
being dull, considerable Inconvenience has been
caused by this strike In some instances the
demand has been complied with, and the ad-
vance given; but it now looks as if many OF the
carpenters will be kept out of employment
most of the season. The high rates OF rents
are the excuse for this strike. LANDLORDS nav,

wall street has had another scare at the

PASSED off, as the cable did not "come up

1t is concluded that Napoleon is not quite ready
to measure swords with the Prussian heroes of
the "needle gun" or at any rate, not till he
gets through with the nice Industrial affair
that now engrosses his and the worlds atten-
ton. Besides, after all, we have not really
anything to fear from war in Europe. 1t might
send back some of our securities; but it would
probable open to us a great market for our
Western granaries and might help our manu-
features. Wall street often gets frightened

A miserable wretch named Castagneto, an
italian, who set fire to a tenement house in the
night time which contained six families, to get
81, 600 insurance, was sentenced to the State
Prison for life, this week, by Recorder Hack
EFT. Arson was capital offence in New York
till 1868. 1t ought to be now, in the case of
such desperate and would-be murderer as
this fellow. 1t may do in other localities, but
in this great receptacle of crime would have
murder and arson punished by death Let the
murderer know that the vengeance of the law
is sure to follow conviction-thisi is the most po-
tent medicine to be administered to the scoun-
drels of New York NASSAU

S WAH-Yesterday morning an infant was
found in the privy of the railroad depot at
iSaco, where it had been left a short time pre-
-vious, by its inhuman mother, as is supposed
from the fact that a woman was seen hanging
round the depot a short time before the infan t
was discovered. The babe was taken care of
by the city authorities, and attempts were
being made to discover its mother.
P. S.-Since the above was put in type we
have learned that the infant was about five
weeks old; that it was left in the privy of the
depot by passenger in the down train on
Tuesday evening, and that the Waterman of
the depot discovered it soon afterwards and
took care of it until morning,

The Convention assembled at the Merchants
Exchange at IL o'clock yesterday morning,
according to adjournment. After some pre-
hminary remarks it was unanimously voted
that it is the sense of this convention that an
agent should be appointed to represent the
ship building interests of this State in Con-
gress, therefore be it resolved that this con-
vention doihereby appoint the Hon. N. u.
Hichborn Of Stockton, to act as such agent for
this association, and that he shall proceed to
Washington, and lay before Congress the
grievances and burdens, under which the SNIP
builders and owners labor, and to obtain such
abatement in duties and taxation, as will ena-
BILE them to compete with other nations, and
that he shall proceed to Washington on SAID
business whenever in the opinion of the Presi-
dent and Directors it shall be deemed necessa-
ry. Power was also given the Directors to Sc
lect another party who should cooperate with
Mr. a. in the presentation of the matter, or
who should act in his stead if necessary.
j. L. Farmer, Esq, of Portland, then pre-
sented the following resolutions: -y..s
Resolved, That the shipbuilders of this coun-
try should have permission to go anywhere out
of the country to build and equip for sea, sail
lug VESSELS VI WOOu VI iron mauerlal5 diSo
wood and iron steamers; and when so built by.
them, shall be admitted to registry as q United
} States vessel, and be free of all Customs
House duty and internal taxation, and that
Congress be memorialized to conform United
States laws to it.
RESOLVED, That the officers of this Conven-
ton petition Congress for the repeal of the
Navigation laws, so far as to permit the United
States shipowners to purchase sailing ships or
steamers in the cheapest market, admitting
them to registry, thus enabling us to keep up
our supply of tonnage as well as keep our flag
still on the ocean. d
These resolves were unanimously laid upon
the table. aafENreE MIR
Remarks upon the importance of the enter
prise to the interests of the whole State were
made by Mr., Hichborn,s who also urged the
necessity of having within our own limits man
ufactOries of duck, cordage and all such mate
rails used in the construction of vessels. This
matter interests not the builder alone, but at
fects our whole State trade, and the earnest
cooperation of all parties was strongly urged
Already the association through the efforts OF
Mr.. Hichborn, has effected a change in the
construction of the act with reference to ton
mage dues. so that payment is now required
| but once in twelve months instead of once in
every calendar as heretofore. Much remains
| to be accomplished which can be well effected
only by united effort s.se sf{gS
