The Bishop of Winchester has just hada windfall or no less than 14,0001., by a renewal of one of the many valuable leases hel(d under tlat S8e. ThE paveme nt in Deptford has just been Msacidamized. On ZVednesdav last, a meeting of the operative weavers was held in Provan's.hall, Inigram-street, chiefly coimiposed of dele- gates fr.nn 1,anarkshire, 1)unmbartonshire, Renfrewshire, Stirling. shire, Avrshire, Argyllshire, Perthshirc, and the diSferent districts of this city and its neighbourhood. The hall was crowded to exesms. The object of the oreratives was to ibrin associatinns throughout Scotland, in order to obtain an increase of warei, which for maby years have bcen at so low a rate as barely to afford even thte best workmeis a seanty sub4istence; and to coimabine against a certain i,- dividual, perhaps the most extensive manufacturer in tnis city, and expel him from'the trade bv the 8th of September next, as being the sole apparent cause of breaking the prices, and lowering their wages, notwithstanding the increacing demanid for all sorts of goods con- nected with the trade. Thiu they were to effect by every weaver re- fusing to work for hirn after that day r and such of them as might be thrown out ot'employment in cousequence, were to be supported by tl:e attsoeiation, who were forming qietietics In their several dis- tricut for this parpose. During the pro6eedinga, the best order and regbularity prevailed, and many spirited specehes were delivered, free from any intemperance or ther irnpropcr feelitng. A committee was appotinted to nsake a regular, table or sule of prices, and byv shch- aca,tliy wtere t? aIsite._C.GJoaip40sr.

Idetails respecting the visit made to Tol?do by FERDINAND, the Redeemed (El Rescatado), as we find he is now some- times called in the addresses of his loving subjects. His Majesty, the Royal Family, and the foreign Ambassadors, wvho followed the Court from Madrid, were constantly oc- cupied during the Easter week in the performance of reli- l gious ceremonies. They a.so visited a convent of Bernardine Monks, near Toledo, where they paid their adorations to I the body of St Raymond, the founider of the order of! Calatrava. Tlhe paper of the 21st contains a royal order, | requiring officers 'ho have served. in the Constitutional armies, to remove to a distanice greater than that of a radius of ten Icagues from Madrid, This order is made on a representation of the Superi ) tenden t-General of Police, ' statitig that many officers ot that description enter the city under various pretexts-that ihe time of the police is occu- pied in looking after them-and that their presence gives rise to not a little displeasure and strife.
