PROSPERITY.—The influx of strangers into Bradford is so great, that dwellings are riot to be obtained; in fact, such is tho demand for houses that they are frequently promised 'ere the builders have got above ground. New warehouses, new buildings, and streets, projected and projecting, meet the eye in every direction.—Leeds Times.  We regret exceedingly, says the Tyne Mercury, to hear that a misunderstanding exists between a portion of the pitmen of this district and their employers. The chief cause of discontent, we believe, to be an impression, whether well or ill-founded, that the corves or baskets in which the coals are brought from the mine to bank have been larger than they ought to have been, and that the pitmen have in consequence received less money for working them than they were entitled to. A numerous meeting of pitmen belonging to colleries on the Tyne and Wear took place on Black Fell on Saturday last, which was addressed by Messrs. Parkin, Pyle, Hepburn, Marton, Reed, Hammond, and Lowrey, and resolutions were agreed to, to the effect that a full statement of their grievances should be laid before their employers.  The counterpane manufacturers of Bolton have made an advance of 2d. in the shilling on the price of weaving—Leeds Mercury. ASSASSINATION OF A WIFE BY TIER ilusBAND.—At the Court of the Seine Assizes held last Friday, a case of strong suspicion was made out against a man, by name Amouroux, of having murdered his wife. The body of the unfortunate woman was found in a garret in a state of putrefaction. Amouroux's aecount of the cause of his wife's death was, that in consequence of the embarrassed state of their affairs, she and he had both agreed to die, under the now common system of double suicide • that accordingly a charcoal fire was employed, which had the desired effect on his wife, but that on him, notwithstanding his renewed attempts, the vapour took no effect. Medical men were of opinion that death might have been caused by the charcoal, or by some other cause. There were no marks of violence, nor was there any evidence of internal poison. The investigation was to be resumed on the following day.  Chief Justice Tindal returned to Brighton on Wednesday by the GeneralkSteam Navigation Company's ooT he packet the Belfast, from a eMtnental tour. Mrs. Fitzherbert has left Brighton in greatly improved healthL for ndn Salisbury, with the intention of proceeding shortly to Dowager Marchioness of Westmeath arrived at Brighton on Thursday. Lady Hartland has engaged apartments at the York Hotel, and is daily expected. The StocAport Advertiser says that the Lancashire Papers that have lowered their price to 4d. have refused to deliver them to their customers as heretofore, unless paid extra for the delivery. It is stated that 32 new provincial papers have been already published, and that prospectuses of upvmrds of 40 others have been put forth. Several of the country Journals, which usually published on Wednesdays, postponed their publication until Thursday (the 15th), in order to mail them_ selves of the reduction in the stamp duty. We have already spoken of the existence of a species of influenza amongst horses in various parts of the country, and that it had in some places been attended by very serious effects. We are sorry to say the malady is norr prevailing here in rather a severe degree, and that several horses (in two or three instances highly valuable ones) have-died under its influence. The disorder exhibits itself in the form of a swollen throat, with inflammation of the lungs, and unless promptly attended to, fatal results are almost certain to follow.— Worcester Herald.  Captain Jeffrey of the Glasgow police had had forty shopkeepers and hawkers before the Police Court for using unjust weights. Fraud, by means of light weight, it seems,' has been carried on to a very great extent. Of the forty, there were fined by Bailie Gourlay three shopkeepers, two of hem in the sum of one guinea each, and one in fifteen shillings, for having their whole sets of weights light, and their beams unjust. A number of others were fined from 2s. 6d. to los. for having single weights too light. The fines altogether amounted to 11/. , and the unjust weights were all confiscated.
