Being Hie " grandson of the testator" ( who appears to have been dead nearly sixty years ) does not necessarily give Mm any interest under Uie will . I must know what it is he claims , and the ground on which"be supposes his
right to rest . _Chojcas BABSESBr . —I fear your case is a hopeless one }; you seam to have got into bad hands . I . T ., Salford . —As yon saw the rates before yoa actually entered upon yonr employment , you are bound by them . f tat & _s _Goidsk , ox G . oseto . v . —Tlie master cannot compel the apprentice to serve after he has' attained 21 ; but if any relation or friend of tha apprentice entered into a bond or covenant for the faitiful service ofthe apprentice , the master may _sne on such bond or covenant . The master cannot be compelled to give up the indentures of apprenticeship so long as he claims any interest under them .
. B , SheffielfL—The paper you _signal does not hind you to pay the debt , unless you had " separate property- " norwai any future husband you may marry be liable to the payment of it . If , however , your late husband made a will and appointed yon executrix , and von have proved it , or if he died intestate and you bave taken out letters of _aalministration . in either case you are liable fo the payment of tbe debt , in case tou have assets . I . A ., Nottingham . —I do not very " clearly understand yonr letter ; but if you will tell me what chil . _' . _ren and _ _randcri 2 drenyou hare , and give me their names and ages , and what yon mean to leave to each of them , I wm prepare you a proper wffl at the expense of a few _SMIiiDCS .
_tosEPH "femso—After yoa have obtained a judgment for the debt youmay sell the thiags , but not before ; and the sale must be made under the authority of the court . If the debt does not exceed £ 20 vou may _prodded in the Small Debts'Court L S .. -Jjewent—Unless you have acknowledged the debt , in writing , within the last six years , you are not liable to the payment of it , and should the holder of tbe note proceed against you in the Small Debts' Gourtyou must plead the Statute of Limitations . tos » H _Hatheid . —If the property is worth -10 s . a-vear and your friend is on the Register he will have a right to vote for a county member . If yonr other friend is a ivitaessto the Kill lay whiadi a legacy is given to him lie will lose tbe legacy , unless the other legatees should he generous and liberal enough to let him have it . _iEQRGG Smith , Dewsbury . —Send me a copy of your aunt ' s will with the attestation and the names ofthe witnesses ; in short , a " correct *" copy of the entire document . If the will is correct in point of form you can only impeach it and set it aside by proving either your aunt ' s incompetency to make it , or that she made it under undue _influence
Thomas Jokes . —II jou can prove the libel or slander , and can prove that you have heen injured by it , you may Taring an action for damages ; but it is to be hoped your _landlord will make jou some amends YOluntarily and without being compelled to do so . ¦ yVlIIXAK _JIooset . —Tour letter ofthe 20 th of this month relates , I suppose , to the money about which I some time since wrote to _Jfr O'Bryen , of Cork , and who , in reply , stated that it would be paid as soon as letters of aalmiiiistration were taken out : if you wish it , I will write again to Mr O'Brjen . Xevt Lodge , Lepton . —Without knowing what it is tbat Joseph Senior is _proceaiding against you for , aud oa what ground he rests his claim , it is impossible forme to give you any advice .

They must proceed in the Small Debts' Court , and must of course be able to prove their case .
HISCELLMUrEOCS . Tithes . —To _iheEditor of the Northern Star . —Sir , —In alatennmber of _theCTroniefcl observed au account of a meeting of a society I never heard of before , Itpro _fesses to hare for its object tbe restoration ofthe tithes in the hands ofthe lay impropriators . The owners are ready to sell ( not to give , bnt sell ) on veryadvantageous terms iheseimpropriations orplunderings , if the Church will buy them . Atthe head of this society is Lord John Manners and the new-England party ; with a . sprinkling of these impropriators . "Coming events , - -cast their shadows before ; " this seems to me to be one that is too significant to let pass in an ordinary way It seems to me that this is a deep laid scheme . These fellows , seeing that tithes -will not be paid much _longer , are about to makethe best bargain they can . They will - sell their iiiterestto the Church at a price proportionate tothe present apparent tenure : after that , thev will .
when matters get to extremes , turn round on the Law Church . , and take them away , and share them out again amongst one another . If they cannot do that , to save their estates they vrill appropriate them to reducing tbe debt . I hope yonr readers will reflect on this . —W . 6 sEAV £ , 10 , iIitre-street , NewCut Caption . —Bewabe of a . Scocsbbsl . —1 would claim the indulgence of a line or two , in yonr widely-circulated journal , to put the public on their guard against the base and unmanly trickery of a person , passing through societv under the name of Dix—styling himself the author of "Life of Chatterton - _""Penand Ink Sketches of Poets , Preachers and Politicians , ' * & c . Be some time since obtained furnished apartm nts from au intimate friend of mine , and until recently he lias been ' living almost hoard and rent free . When asked for ' payment , he deterred the time , stating ; he had a draft upon Mr Bogue , the publisher , of _Fleet-strefct , which
proved to he false . Time passing on . doubts began to he entertained as to the truth of his statements , when suddenly he absconded , leaving the lamllord minus his rent and hoard . It was then ascertained that he had practised his trickery to an enormous extent He obtained from the library of a _jJrs Willis , a widow , books to the amount of upwards of two pounds , three volumes of _Bolwer's "Night and Morning , * ' three volumes of Cooper's " Ravensnest , " & c , none of which lie returned . De also extracted from Mr Robertson , a respectable merchant of _Botolph-lane _, City , sums of -money , a . valuable great _a » at , « _ta . Upon making ina _ uiriesinto his character , I ascertained that he had -practiced these tricks upon different persons for months past . My object , sir , in writing this , is to warn the
public against having dealings with this swindler and robber , who is a scandal and disgrace to the honourable _profession of li-eratare . He may be distinguished hy representing himself . is being connected with all tbe great men of the day ; a paid correspondent to an American paper ; a constant contributor to "Punch , " the "London JoBroal , ** "People ' s Journal , '" & c ., _jall of which I am convinced would disclaim any connection with a person who would strive to live upon the sweat -of tiie honest working man , and rob the widow and the fatherless . —By inserting these lines yon willobU _*; e your humble servant , Isaac B .

Stpasob Epidemic . —Our attention bas been called to a fearful epidemic which seizes on the clerks engaged in paying money-orders at the new office in St Martin ' _a-le-Grand . Tbe symptoms are very peculiar , and seem to affect every one tbe moment he takes his place as an underling in the office alluded to . The patient is first inflicted by a vacant staring of the eyes directly an order is presented to him for payment . He is tben troubled with a sortof speechlessness—peculiar to official subordinates—which prevents him from answering the questions addressed to him . His hand seems to be paralysed , for it is scarcely able to take hold ol the oi
order on its being shown to him , and a species coma overtakes him when he has to produce the money , whieh he can scarcely manage to take from his till , much less to count out , aad pay over , _wiiliout the greatest _difficult , which renders tha operation very painful to witness , as well as exceedin gly tedious . Sometimes the patient ii seized with hts oi yawning . and stretching of the arms , particularly when _thr . money-oider 8 wanting his attention are unusually numerous . We bave been requested to administer a little of tho bark of our baton , which we have no doubt will act as a stimulant to these money-order functionaries , who are _getting almost useless from tbeir apathetic _listlessneas . — ranch .

"Unionfor The Million." * I,^ N I S ' ~~...
" Unionfor the Million . " * i , _^ i ' ~~ The Central Committee feel it to be their duty this week to lay before you an account of tbe present demands upon , and opposition to your Assoctated means , in entering upon which it will he necessary to call your attention , in the first place , to the primary objects of our Association . In doing this , we must refer you to the preamble of our { rules , where it will be found that the object of our joining together is , ' that hj this organization each trade will multiply its powers fifty or a hundredfold , by being able to its
fight individual battles with the whole strength of the Jssociation . " By uniting together , then , we intend to add to our respective trades ' power the organised power and influence of the National Association , to enable the separate trades ' bodies , by joint efforts upon a national scale , to accomplish that which they would not be able to attain by their individual _strength . And when one nortioa ofthe members are attracted by the power of capital with the view of reducing their income , the entire power of _the- whole union would be brought to bear on behalf of the trades thus attracted , and , by reciprocally strengthening each other , invest them with a power whereby the trades would effectually resist all aggressions upon their rights and privileges . ,
This being one of the objects of Hie Association , it is necessary , in affording mutual assistance and protection to each other , we should be careful not to press too heavily upon the funds by having too many applications at tbe same lime ; and by that means defeating our own purposes , and placing additional power in thp hands of manufacturers , to reduce the prices of Jndustry . If you desire , therefore , that the objects of the Association should be realised , you must cheerfully and continually co-operate with the Central Committee , in carrying out the great objects of the , union . Yon know , it will be the
amount of our financial strength that must ever determine the miture and spirit of our exertions for Labour ' s emancipation , and that unless our exchequer ha uroii renlenished with the accumulating pence of the members , the Central Committee will not _liable to grapple witb . the crying evils whicii crush the hopes and prospects of tlie toiling millions ' : and in proportion as this is attended to , in the same proportion will the numerous trades' bodies , in connection with the "NationaVAssociatiou _. increase their individual power , as anticipated by the trades when they give in their adhesion .
Having said this much , we feel it to he a duty devolving upon us to state the present demands upon our funds , and atthe same time exhort you to do all in your power to ward off the threatening evils that hang over a considerable portion of our respective members . In the first place , we have on the funds receiving weekly support a vast number , of individual cases who have been victimised for the active part tbey have taken in promoting the principles of the Association . It is a well-known and lamentable fact that even in our local efforts to procure the rights of industry , we have had to experience the hitter evils of a cruel system of victimisation—and notunfrequently
has it happened that the best aud truest of our members have been the unfortunate objects of this detestable procedure . This system we consider the most dastardly and revolting that can be resorted to . But it is well known that it is the object of cupidity and wrong to lay its withering hand upon the bravest and most active in trades' unions ; to break the noblest spirits in society , that they may the more easily obstruct the movement , and paralyse the energies ofthe entire body ; so thatwhen the staffs and life-giving spirits ofthe societies are thus cruslied by the strong hand of Capital , tbe great mass St / Orl _SUCcumb to the exaction of their taskmasters , however unjust . Thus their _objects are defeated , and the
unfortunate victims left to be spurned from the employer ' s door , ; and driven to the presenceof a relieving officer to ask for bread , who brands him with union , and insultingly refuses his claims ; he returns to his fellow-labourers , but they for whose interests and . welfare he has exposed his own interests , and plunged himself into difficulties from which he is unable to extricate himself , tliey , from fear , discard his company , and thus the very men whose battles he fought , and for whom befell a victim to poverty and destitution , desert and forget , and ultimately drive him to seek a place of refuge in a more humane and hospitable home than that which gave him birth . I \' ow , the Association is determined to pursue a
different method , lt has determined that its eligible members shall not he suffered to sustain the untold sufferings of that blighting system of victimisation For if the capitalist aims a blow at the Association , by taking advantage of and sacrificing the most active of our members , the Union will take them up , and either find them employment , or support them according to rule ; and by that means show employers the absurdity of imagining to destroy the National Association , by _attempting to upset and ruin an individual belonging to our great combination . We have numbers of such cases in different parts of the conntry who have fallen victims to this dishonourable course , adopted by some employers .
But , in addition to . these cases , we have a considerable number of different trades who have been offered reductions hy their employers , but , having proceeded legally , have now turned out in defence of the rights of Labour , and are supported from the funds , in conformity with rule . . Besides these there are a great number who have been set to work , and continue working for the Association . To this we wish particularly to call your attention . We have commenced to manufacture for ourselves , and consequently we shall want a market to dispose of our goods ; and where is the market to be found ? who are to become our consumers ? _Tbess are questions whieh can soon be answered . The market we must
create ourselves , by becoming consumers of onr own manufactured goods . We cannot hope that those whose interests are opposed to our own will assist us in carrying out our objects , by purchasing our goods . Sliould they do so , we will receive , them cheerfully , and deal with them fairly and honourably . But to them we must not trust—we must consume our own goods . Each individual member must wear the Association ' s stockings , and their little ones the Association ' s socks . We must wear our own boots and shoes , aud gloves and shins . We strongly recommend to our members the
propriety of purchasing their check shirting from thenown men ; we have a considerable quantity of firstrate quality of check shirting , such as cannot be surpassed by any shop in the kingdom . In order to assist in disposing of our goods we would also _suggest to the various district committees the propriety of appointing a responsible person , who can give the requisite security , to become the agent for the sale of goods in their respective localities ; and by that means give facility to our commercial enterprise , and assist in consuming the products of our own men .
Another particular subject to which we wish to direct attention , isa very important one in Manchester . The siik-pickers in the employ of Mr Smith of that town were offered a reduction in the price of their labour , to a considerable extent . The consequence is , the men are now on strike , and through the unavoidable connection that subsists between the trades at this firm , a number of the weavers who could not obtain warps were obliged to
come out too . A number more were offered work , providing they would weave the warps picked by " Nobsticks , " hut they very promptly declined to spin a rope to hang themselves with ; and consequently were turned out . So that we have now on the funds , and receiving support from this mill alone , upwards of a hundred hands . We want , therefore , the hearty response and cheerful co-operation of our members , to assist in conducting this affair to a successful termination . Let us determine
whether the Association is to be put down by the attacks of capitalists ; let us show to the world that working men are fixed , by logal and constiiutiovtal means , to protect the rights of Industry . The demands of the men are just and equitable , s « ch as no rational man , with the least spark of Christian philanthropy , would object to concede . We hove no ill-will to Mr Smith , nor to any other manufacturer in the kingdom . Onr object is to conserve the rights and protect the interests of just and honourable employers , as well as that of the men . We arc not ignorant ofthe fact , that an
unprincipled employer will so reduce his men , as to execute orders , and supply the market with _goods at a considerably lower price than the more honourable employer , who is not desirous to take tho least advantage of his workmen . But when his neighbour is enabled to get up the same work so much cheaper than himself , it is impossible for him to compete in the same market ; he is , therefore , ia many instances , compelled , through his dishonourable neighbour , to take steps towards his men which his own . heart and nature recoils from ; _, and employers are beginning ta see that the Na-
"Unionfor The Million." * I,^ N I S ' ~~...
tional Association will enable them , by the co-operation of their men , to boat down that _' low and covetous spirit that characterises the generality of unprincipled employers . But to return to Mr Smith's men . This gentlemau asserts that lie is giving a higher price __ than some of his neighbours ; but we beg to remind liim that for some articles he i 9 giving the lowest price , and for nothing is he giving the best price . A deputation has wailed iipon him , with the view of adjusting tin ' s matter , whom he received very kindly , and treated them courteously , but he could not he induced to accede to the requests of the men . The consequence is , the men
are obliged to contest the question with their employer , and it is for the members to say whether the men shall be aided by your spirited co-operation , and show to employers the folly of attempting to do battle with the strong hand of a National Association of Working Men . We would tell Mr Smith and all other employers , that the working classes have learned a better method of managing their own affairs than the old isolated system , that has invariabl y suffered the price of labour to degenerate to a fearful ratio , while it
has been investing the capitalist with additional power to crush the surviving , though enervated , energies of the toiling millions . But such things must he so no longer . Working men are taking a clearer and wiser view of their own concerns , anil adopting the most effective means to enhance their individual interests and their national independence , —and our concluding advice is , be firm , —let no power shake your confidence , —continue in the good cause , and victory , full and entire , shall crown our laudable exertions .
The Central Committee Of Tlie Above Flou...
The Central Committee of tlie above flourishing Institution met on Monday , and following days , for the transaction of general business , T . S . _Duncombj , Esq ., M . P ., in the chair . An immense mass of correspondence was read from all parts of the kingdom , and the minutes of tbe preceding meeting were read and confirmed . The following reports have been also received from the different agents : — _MaxVChester . —Mr Parker reported on Tuesday , the 22 nd tilt ., a large meeting was held in the People ' s Institute , Heyrod-street , called by the Powerw _? u , _Er-V 8 hea' ' t , ie P » ' *> C'Ples of the National Association of _Uunca-- » . _£ - — . .- _« ... _»_ . Robson , Williamson , and Parker , severally entered into details , to the satisfaction of the audience , liesolutions approving of the Association were carried
unanimously . Several questions were put to Messrs Robsbn _ and Williamson , as members of the Central Committee , by a portion ofthe hands tit the employ of Mr Clark , who is endeavouring to force a reduction in prices , as to their not being supported . Messrs It . and W . answered because tlvy had struck without the sanction of the Central Committee , a course of procedure they would always set their faces against , as being subversive of all order and regularity , and from other causes . The answers appeared to give satisfaction to the audience . Votes of thanks were passed to Mr _Duncoaibt ; , the Northern Star , and the deputation , and a resolution , that all power-loom weavers who wished to join should meet in the hall on the following Friday . The meeting then adjourned ,
The Manchester District Committee met as usual at the Railway Inn , Deansgate , on Wednesday evening . Messrs Parker and Bailey were appointed a sub-committee to conduct the affairs in connection with the differences existing between Mr Smith and his hands , who are receiving support from the _central committee , in consequence of the f ailure of all other attempts at reconciliation . It is to be hoped that all trades in arrears will forward their levies to enable the central committee to meet this and many other demands . Messrs Goolding and Parker were appointed to attend a meeting of a branch of the woollen trade nt Bury ; they diil so , and after a very
able and instructive address from Mr Goulding , seventy-one put down their names to join forthwith . Stockport . —Mr J . W . Parker at'ended a meeting on Friday of all trades , at the Lyceum Hall , by invitation , lie explaned at great length the intentions and progress of the association to an exceedingly numerous audience . Many questions were asked , and answered satisfactorily . Tbis meeting was one of ihe most important of the kind ever yet held in Stockport . Votes of thanks to Mr Duneombe , the Star , and tiie lecturer , were passed unanimously . Tiie meeting then dissolved , evidently delighted with the proceedings .
TUE _COMIi-MAKERS OP SHEFFIELD AND THE NATIONAL TRADES' UNION . A meeting of the hody of epmb-makers in Sheffield connected with the local trade union , was held on Tucsday evening last , at the Parrot Inn , Shtflleld M & or , for the purpose of hearing an _address _upow the priiulpies _« nd tendency of ths National Trade .-. ' Union , it was exptcted that Mr Robsou , a deputation from the na . _ti-iiial body in London , would have been present , but being unavoidably detained in _Manchester , _ilr George Had , ol'Cornhill , _SSieffiel . i , an operative , was iu attendance to give the requisite information . The chair was taken by Mr Joun IIodxis , who briefly explained the _object of the matting _.
_HrGEoBGg Hall commenced his address by stating ; that Mr Rubson had been called to Manchester , on Saturday morning , to tiike the placu of Mr Williamson , one of the Central Committee , who hail been down there from London , arbitrating a dispute on tlie part of soma workmen , but who had been prevented by illness from cairying the arbitration on . Although he could not pretend to know so much of the association as Mr Robson , who had been connected with it from tbe eommeBCotueiit , yet Ue _lwjiud the * , would excuse his attempt to explain its constitution and objects . ( Hear , hear , ) He _obieri-eai that William Howitt , au authority recognised by working men , said , ihe tendency of society ah the i _^ nahand wa 3 to accumulate wealth—to create a number of _caiiitalia-s , —while on tha _otliea- _haanal avas extreme
_povertyaad _wrutclit'dtiess _; and that the only remedy lor tbU state of thing 3 was co operation on thu part of the work ing classes , in order to secure that which the higher classes had . _seenrtd in the shape of caviul , —namely , to secure capital for themse ' Te 3 in the shapo of wages . ( Hear . ) If they looked around them , _tlu-y found that those trades , in avhich tbe most improvement hud been mado in the mode and facility of production were in the most _depressed condition , and the reason wan because capital had enabled masters to take advantage of those improvements ; consequently tUe remuneration of the workman _beearac gradually diminished , and society in general was injured ; proving that instead of such cii . iiij . es being for tho benofit of the whole , tliey were calculated to injure , to impair , anal to destroy . Seeing
this Statu of tilings , local unions had been formed , aaid Sheffield had endeavoured to improve her condition by doing so . _Aocording to tlie intelligence and the _practical _informttionthej- had , they thought union and co-operation would prevent thu evils which _seema-d ready to overcome _tham . Sheffield had shown us fair a specimen of uuion us ererhad existed in thu country . But when they took a retrospect of the _loiwl unions they might say that they had universally _failed . _Anyreasoiiabic wan would ask why tliey Had failed t What had _bten the primary cause ? _l'irst _, ho would say , tbe reason was _becaujo production hud never been regulated . according to the demand . Unless this was done , no matter iu what trade it might be , they could noi maintain the particular prices they would wish to obtain ,
because it was the natural tendency nftha production _i-sceediug the demand that ihero should ba a glut in a market , and then : being such glut , working men could not pretend to get so _mui-b for their labour as when the _dunand waa !> quul to the supply . This had been the _casu with all trades , oxcept _thawe which were confined to few handB , and that was an artificial state of things which would seon be put an end lo , if tbe papulation _wa-at on multiply ins _asatprestnt . Though there might be trades in _waiclt a limited mumber ware employ' *''* , yet look at that _spring-kuit ' e trade , for instance , how sadly their _wngut had been reduced in consequence of a _supdrabunciaiwo of hands , in the market to perform the labour rap ' red . ' M _Calloch , Maltbus , and most of the political economists taught them that ,
whenever trade was to be made _pro-fitable at a tirjao that the uumber of bauds ready to _d-s certain work axceeded the number _nesessary to do it , the only plan to _adoplt was to give a _naw direction ta > labour . _Whaihad they found in past _ti- _^ e . _-. ? _Taking-the case ofthe wiab . makers , had they ns > t seen the k » w & change ff fashion or alteration of _O'catora give a _ssaeve shock to _talieir int « mts , by _throwiag a great nujaber of men oat of erajiloytuettt ? _Wli-eu sueh a ciiaiia took place , _^ tjose poor men had hoei \ left to _waudti * about _unaidsd and with none to giu < 5 » them , _uale 9 g _ perchance , « jse capitalist _should bu _Uwkliig out , anxSom to take _aduantaga of the _nurplus laV . Mii- thus _cra-ntud . "Was it not _apparent , then , that the -working classes , required to _ bavo some _powsr in tho _SSato to guide aad assist then , iu cases of dtSeuty , _astd to carry out . ihe _rccorameu-iations of tbosa political economists li > had alluded io , in giving a new diro & tion to thu _li . v " Vaur of those w * » o might be tbro _^ n

They wanted to create a capital ti > be relied upon in * _caies of difficulty , b «* t still not to ba eaten up . So . _w _^ ilal , however large , would be able to malaUhi itself or . _* l 3 aep _« . sons who would have to live up . m it , if it wero merely _, created lo be oaten up . The _quesion should be , "How can wa best employ it »'» The " National Association had already been enabled to accomplish more for tho working classes than any local unions hnd done in thirty or forty years . Aud bow was this 1 By carryiug out the _self-cmplojmaut principle . Whenvcr a trade was thrown out through tbe masters seeking to mako a reduction an arbitrator would be sent down from the Central Committee to reason with the master and endeavour to make terms with him , and there had been many oases ( some j of whicU _Vne speaker _enouisriite _" _. ) In which _tUi sort of

The interests of all their class were identified and unless all the workmm connected with a particular trade entered the association , reduction of price would still exist , however they might struisgle . if , 01 _ t _oillaD men belonging to a branch , 60 refused to join , they would be a drag upon the others and prevent prices being improved . Unless there was a co-operation of the whole their progress would be frustrated . , They bad always told the masters _nad the world at large that they would be content to bo the _employed , and the capitalist to be tbe employer ; but this _.-usociation exhibited to them a
new statu of things . It taught them ihe wayin which to secure a fair remuneration for their labour which was their right , and to secure it in a fair and honourable way , without _compulsii-n on their part , but by means of sel | _- . employment .

( Hear , hear . ) To do it successfully must be tha result of theii own efforts , and they had tbe power if they would but use it in a proper manner . They wera the producers of everything . The masters were only the holders of capital . The working men were the producers of wealth and everything which was consumed , but even while they did this they werethe slavesof rather than the masters over what they did produce . _Itmight bo said that the plan of the National Association was Utopian—that there was no reality . in it ; but those who said so be would ask to propound something better , Reason dictated that plan to be the best at present , and therefore they ought to act upon it , seeing that they had been too long slaves instead of masters .

The _Chaibmah said Mr Hall was desirous of answering any question wbich the meeting might think proper to put , and he begged there might be no reserve _i-a making inquiries upon points which might not appear to have been sufficiently explained .

The guardians of the poor of the township have rented Victoria Mill , near tho House of Recoverv , and already , we anderstand , there are onehundred _' and fifty cases ot fever , which will be immediately removed to that place . Tbe _lloaae of B , ccovery and tho Fever liospit & l are quit © full , and there are eight cases at the Mendicity Office . In the whole _towaship it is estimated that there aro not less than from three hundred to four hundred persons in the fever . Four policemen bave been in the habit ot daily attending tho Mendicity Office , to accompany the itinerant Irish to the outskirts of the town . Two of _tlu-so nolicemen . in the discharge of this daty , have caught
the fever , and another policeman , whoso beat lias been in a neighbourhood where it prevails , ban also had an attack . Ou Friday , a deputation of thie « gentlemen , including the Rev .
