Sattjbday, July 31. "We Bave Received In...
Sattjbday , July 31 . "We bave received information that a majority of the master calico block-printers attempted lately to reduce the \ va ° _-es of their hands . Successive reductions have _o-one on for the last few years , to which the men have felt bound to submit . But in this last case they resisted , and successfully—the notice of a reduction being withdrawn by all except two of the employers . It is worthy of notice that a mean attempt has been made by some master block-printers to force upon the men a declaration similar to that which the despotic masters of the Engineer Association devised and _enforced against the working engineers . The block - printers intend to resist , and energetic steps for that purp ose have been taken . They are said to be unanimous , and if so must suceeed .
Dissention, It Is Said, Has Already Brok...
Dissention , it is said , has already broken out in the Tory camp . The bone of contention is of course _Freetraeie , wliicli some of the more backward of the party , who have no interest in office , wish to see overturned ; and , excited by the glowing stories circulated by the Derby ite organs of Lord Derby ' s majority , they demand the instant reversal of the policy of the traitor Peel . "A very serious charge against a leading London Tractarian divine" writes the Daily News of today , " was , we understand , yesterday the subject of an
investigation instituted by episcopal direction . The offence in question is alleged to have been committed by a reverend promoter of the system of the Confessionala system he holds to be consistent with the profession of Protestantism . It is to be desired that the fullest and fairest investig ation of the affair should take place , since the gravest interests , both religious and moral , are at stake ; and we may express a sincere hope that the ecclesiastical authorities will do their duty not only with strict impartiality , but with the earnestness required on so important an occasion . "
It is said that the Queen and Prince Albert purpose resuming the coast cruise in a few days , and that the route will be eastwards . Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston arrived in Kingstown on Thursday evening , per Holyhead steamer Anglia . It is stated that the noble viscount will proceed to Cork , to visit the Exhibition , after which he will make a tour of his Irish estates , and return to England before the close of August .
Thc Morning Chronicle gives the following estimate of tho strength of the Derby ites anel the Opposition . It appears that the Ministerial forces amount to 284 members , recruited from the following sources : — English boroughs ... 107 English counties - - - 110 Welsh boroughs 3 Welsh counties - - - 10 Scotch boroughs ... 0 Scotch counties - - - 14 Irish boroughs - - -14 Irish counties r -22 Universities 4 Total - - 284 The array opposed to the : Government numbers 370 members , of whom there- havo been returned by—English boroughs - 213 English cemnties ... _;} 4 Welsh boroughs - - It Welsh counties - - - _t > _Se-ote-. h boremglis - - 23 _Se-oteli counties ... 15 Irish boreiughs - - - 2 f > Irish _e-ountifirf ... 42 Universities 2 Total - - 370

long staves like constables' staves , and having painted on the top the colours orange and green , followed the declarant ; one of them caught hold of the poll-book and register of voters' book , and endeavoured to wrest the same from him , and said at the same time , ' All we want is the book ; we wont harm you if you give it us . ' " The deputysheriff then took the books , of which , however , he was immediately deprived . The declarations of the chec-kclerk for Messrs . Booker , King , and Hanbury , who had his checkbook wrested from him , of the slip-clerk , and messenger , went to show that the slipsheets received at the committeerooms of Messrs . BoOker , King , and Hanbury , were correct transcripts of the poll-book . On the motion of Mr . Vaughan , the Court was ordered to be cleared ; but it was understood that the chief business related to the claims of
persons whose property had been damaged . A man named Turner had been committed for trial on _^ charge of fraudulently obtaining money and _refreshment by means of false orders purporting to be issued by the- , committee man of Messrs . Booker , King , and Hanbury . ¦>< - '
The Moniteur Of Yesterday States Tha£ Th...
The Moniteur of yesterday states tha _£ the resignation of Casabianca , Minister of State , is accepted . Turgot and Casabianca are made senators . A decree of the Prince Regent of Baden prolongs the regime of the state of siege on his _^ territories to 1 st September . M The Coblenz Gazette of the 26 th says : — " Gen . de Lamoriciere left this city yesterday for Mayence , where he intends to remain for some days . We learn that thc departure of the general was not voluntary on his part /'
It appears that the Austrian Government are acting on the principle of the old Roman legend—cutting oft ' the poppy-heads in the field ; trying to keep insurrection down by simultaneously arresting and carrying off to prison every patriot of any consequence against whom the police could find or invent a ground of suspicion . Arrests so numerous and successive are significant of no ordinary amount of suppressed patriotic enthusiasm among the Italian populations , and of the consciousness of the Anstrians that their tenure of power is at the mercy of a volcano which may burst to-morrow .
In addition to the names of persons of note already mentioned in our columns as having been arrested , we have since received the following : — -At Mantua , the Archpriest of Barbosso ; at Milan , Ahtougino , Simonetta , Carta , Nani , Mangili , Griffini ; at Verona , Montanari and Murari ; at Modena , _Montanari , an excaptain ; at Massa , Monari . The precise meaning of all these arrests , wherever tho Austrian power extends in Italy—the precise clue that the Austrians are following out—cannot yet be ascertained . A special commission has , however , been appointed to try those arrested in Lombardy ; at the head of which commission is General Benedeck , of Galician memory .
The following piece of intelligence will also show the animus of the Austrian government in Italy , their determination to overlook nothing , and to put the black stamp of official notice upon every act , of whatever kind , which can be construed to have a particle of patriotic meaning in it . Tho Chevalier Nava , a warm partisan of Austria , and connected with tho Jesuits , is President of the Academy of the Fine Arts at Milan . Assisted by a small number of persons of his own way
of thinking , he has caused Count Strassolelo and Marshal Radetzky to be nominated honorary members of the said Academy . At the same time there were 110-minateel to tho same honour , M . Vela , a distinguished sculptor , and M . Rossi , a painter . The two artists , on some pretext or other , declined tho honour of _sitting in company with men playing _sueli a part in the oppression of Italy . Tho Austrian government , however , has shown its sense of tho true _meitivo of tho refusal .
ami has conveyed tei the sculptor Vela a perempten-y order tei leave Milan in three hours , under pretext that he is not u Lombard . Vela was born in Italian _Switzerlanel . Accounts from tho town of ICalisedi , in Russian Polanel , represent tin ; ravages of flic _e-holora as fearful . _Aelele : el to this there ; hael been a calamitous lire em the ; night of the ; 18 th and 19 th inst ., which _luiil one ; part of the ; teiwn in ashes .

There Were Yesterday Four Fires In The M...
There were yesterday four fires in the metropolis ; two of them remarkable . The first occurred about a quarter-past four in the morning , in the premises of Mr . E . F . Prache , No . 20 , Sherrard-street , Golden-square . A female living in the house , being subject to asthma , had been recommended by her medical attendant to smoke tobacco occasionally . Yesterday morning she took a lighted pipe into bed , and whilst smoking it she fell asleep , when tho burning tobacco fell upon the bed , and set it on fire . Tho woman fortunately succeeded in escaping . The engines of the parish and London Brigade attended with all promptitude , and the fire was extinguished , but not until
considerable damage had been done . The owner of tho property was uninsured . The second was at Wapping-wall , and ended fatally . A young woman who was suffering from illness had been recommended to be rubbed over with an embrocation consisting of various ingredients , one of which was spirit of turpentine . To mix the various articles together it was necessary to boil the whole , which was being done by Miss Lavick , a young woman aged 30 , when the mixture boiled over , when an immense sheet of flame shot forth from the grate , and rolling over the floor fired in succession sundry articles of furniture , and before the unfortunate creature could leave the room sho became
encircled in fire . The poor female having given two or three frantic screams , she rushed out of the kitchen with the flames mounting over her head . Several persons living in the house ran to the assistance of Miss Lavick , but notwithstanding that they exerted themselves to the utmost , they were unable to get the fire extinguished until nearly every particle of wearing-apparel was consumed on her person , and her body so seriously burned that the flesh peeled off when touched . On Thursday evening a fatal accident , by which a young gentleman , the son of Mr . Cliffe , chemist , Bristol , lost his life , occurred at the Rocks , near the Round Point , in the
river Avon . It appears that the young gentleman , who was about eighteen years of age , had , together with a younger brother , taken tea in one of the cottages at Leigh Woods , after which they went for a stroll along the banks of the river . On arriving near the Round Point , where the rocks are being blasted , with a view to the removal of an impediment to the navigation of the river , he incautiously attempted to climb them , and when at some height his foot slipped , and he was precipitated to the bottom . He was picked up quite insensible , and ( conveyed to the Bristol Royal Infirmary , where , however , he shortly afterwards expired _^
The Path Chronicle reports a most distressing case of death from fright . It appears that on Tuesday night , between twelve and one o ' clock , an attempt was made to break into thc house of Mrs . Collins , of tho Radford Brewery , near Timsbury . About two years ago one of Mrs . Collins ' s customers , living in Wales , informed her that lie hael overheard two men who were plotting to rob her house , and in consequence , she has ever since laboured under the apprehension of being surprised by burglars . For the purpose of protection , therefore , a man-servant hael slept in the house until within tho last fortnight , during which his employment has compelled him \ o bo absent , anel the only male inmate of the house was a boy , employeel as a page . On Tuesday night Mrs . Collinn ' s
coachman , after attending the stables , went home as usual ; anel soon after midnight Mrs . Collins and the servant girl retired to rest . Mrs . Collins hael not , however , been in her bedroom many minutes , when she was startled by hearing a _neiise , apparently _proceeding from the window of the : pantry , at the : back of the house :, and she calleel on the boy , desiring hiiri to ascertain the cause of it . The boy having thrown up the ; winelow eif a room immediately over the : pantry , discovered three : men enelcavouring to force an entrance ; , for which purpose they hud broken a pane of glass in the pantry winelow . As
