WR 1 Q ECONOMY . Lord Keaae has bees a fortunate man . His great exploit in India was the capture of a very strong place with a very weak door , and he will doubtless hav « the same food luck of find ing » very -weak door to the t-uard-house of the public treasury . Lord Keane did all that be had to do in India well : his campaign vu short and successful , and he seems to have been not displeased to leave off with the success he had achieved , and to hasten home for his rewards . The question is , not whether Lord Keane has rendered service , but whether the service he has rendered ia such as to create a claim both to a title and two thousand a year for three lives , and this at a time when Government thinks it right to practise a moat minute economy .
A Treasury order was lately issued to the public emces , directing that old ink-bottles and almanack frames should be saved , and returned by a cart , -which troalrt call for them , that they might be used again , and that cotes should be written ou half-sheets of paper . This was striking evidence of a rigorous spirit of economy . ' Take care of the pence , " says old Richard , " and the pounds will take care of themselves ; " and -when -we saw the case of the old ink-bottles and almanack frames , it seemed to us that the public purse ihould hardly want guardians , so well able should it be to take care of itself , according to the reasoning of the maxim . But lo . ' £ 2 , 000 a year for three lives La asked for the reward of Lord Reane ' s campaign !

THE LETTER OF MR . J . G . MARSHALL TO EARL FITZWILLIAM . The sensible letter of Earl Fitzwilliam , assigning the reasons why his Lordship refused to attend the recent Chartist conference at L ~ tds , has called forth a long and rambling reply from Mr . J . G . Marshall , inserted in Friday's Times , in -which , among other grave assumptions , he vtntures to ir-zard the following : —First , that the Chartists , spirt from the millions who do not coincide with the ^ i , constitute " the people ; " secondly , that the Reformed Parliament does not fairly represent the wants and wishes of the said people ; thirdly , that in Norway , Svritreriand , and the United States , ¦ where the Government and the populace are alleged to
be in perfect harmony , the latter are *• uniTerwdly tappy 1 en j eying the whole fruits of their industry in a , high state of physical -well-being , distinguished by intellectual and moral cnltore ; " and lastly , that as the Lords and Commons are clearly responsible fur those dispensation * of ProTidence -whereby individuals and classes are often visited with adversity , so , if the People ' s Charter were once made law , idle fellows wuuld immediately become industrious , bad workmen -would earn as large wages as good ones , no overstocked markets wonld ocsasion a decrease of empleyment , no improvidence or ill-health would produce distress in labouring families , and , to crown ail , the Ballot would be a synonyme for bliss .
Now , of course , these dogmas are no otherwise deserving of notice than as showing the rank and heartless nonsense with which ignorant multitudes are fortified in their -wild impracticable theories . That a number ef simple-minde . 1 workmen , deluded by their more pragmatical and palivering shopniates , /> hould occasionally tumble up ( as they themselves say ) to hare a bit of jaw about politics or something else , is nothing ¦ wonderful certainly . Time out of mind , there have been hosts of apron'd statesmen—the great lights and big-wigs of the factory—who hwe always cltrived a sufficient motive for the invention of arievances , from the facilities thereby afforded for fleecing their dupes , under pretence of gathering lubscriptions to obtain redress . But , that master manufacturers in the station
of Mr . Marshall , having nothing in common -enth such Uemagogue sharpers as these , should unrefl rctingly commit themselves to the cruel responsibility » f stimulating their confiding inferiors to clamour for a political Ctnpia -which , even were it realizable , would involve infinitely worse evils than now exi't , does , we confess , astonish us not a little . It is evident from that individual ' s letter , that he is ignorant , profoundly ignorant , not only of historwal experience , but of the elementary principles of human society . Nor , supposing his sentiments to be a fair specimen of those of his fellow Liberals throughout the country , could there be a stronger reason -with thinking men for combining in all directions to extinguish a democratic fiction which seeks to exalt itself upon the ruins of our social fabric .
Just ima ? me for % moment that their extravagant demands -vcre worthy of serious deliberation . Overlooking those oisagTeemeDts among themselves -whereby , -while neariy unanimous in advocating an extension of the franchise , one section insists on Universal Suffrage , . \ nd aDother positively refBses to go so far , let us cone ede , for m « e argument ' s sake , either that all househ , ilders paying taxes , or that all lads having attained m yority , ought to possess the right of voting for me fibers of Parliament Two consequences , we submit , are perfectly demonstrable : —first , that this new refoi in would by no means allay the climour for a yet farth * r extension of electoral rights ; and secondly , if it did allay that clamour , it -would inevitably disappoint expect ttion as regard * the well-being or happiness of the lo « fci orders . l
In tl 16 fiwt place , make a hy pothetical triaof Househo Id Suffrage , Under thii arrangement all the married - \ Torkmen who occupy an independent dwelling of their o wn , no matter how small the rent , would have a voi' « for a Parliamentary representative . We are entitled to assume , therefore , though there are other element * wh ioh might materially disturb this conclusion , that the , V woold be content But what should we do with the n lyrisds of bachelor journeymen , who , in the undoubted exercise of British freedom , might think fit to remain in lodfiings f Why , they would be utterly impatient of the' invidious distinction thus established between themsel ves and a portion of their shopmates . They -would con . rtitute , accordingly , a new class ol grievance-mongers ; they would become violent in . their outcry for equal rig bts ; in a word , a further extension of the franchiss wg Mid be- declared to be absolutely necessary .
Pass at once , then , to Universal Suffrage . Confine the privilege , at first , to males and majors . Ali the footmen , grooms , coast mea , and out-door servants of the aristocracy—all th * elerks , warehousemen , and porters of the merchants- —ail the shopmen , messengers , and dependent * of the ta » de « people— all the journeymen , labourers , ^ ad $ rent ieei tor oughoui the kingdom . —all the fore-mast maruie- « i » merchant service—all the able-bodied sailors in 1 « r Majesty ' s fleet—all the privates in the army and mai ine«—all the ojHeen in the excise , customs , and dock-y . wdi—all tne servants of railway , insurance , and ji tat-j £ ock companies—all these , as a matter of course ; 'jn'nst be put in possession
of the universal fnncbiB&C ' " A Veil ,- what the better would they be of this ? andwhat * & « better would the country be ? On the supposition &at such an enlargement of the Suffrage -were aat'Halljr effected , aiiy importance now attached to an ind ' . vidual vote would be completely swataped In the u . ^ iarialUji of the privilege . What everybody could gi ve , nobody would care for . In such circumstances , a voter would be reduced to the most contemptible unit i ' u esiitence . If it be true that a few pounds are samei ^ ffias given to bribe him at present , the difference un . ier Ueiverwl Suffrage would be , not that bribery wo ild be done away with , but tiiat the price of tte lotor ' l Tanlity

inn a v a ^ would be prodlgiotuljr lowered la proportion to the eommonne * of the article . , A « mstten now itand , an honest elector may often master « piri » to wilt tM Importunltie * of an employer ; but with Universal Suffrage , his vote wonld not be worth den ying to any man . This condnsion is therefore obvious , that under the proposed unrertrioted regime of liberalism , the influence of wealth would carry all before it—aye , even with the Ballot—even more than It does now . The evil of private tamperings , in proportion to their increased cheapness and facilities , would be multiplied a thousandfold . THE
Ask the working men in America what precise benefit they draw , or whether they draw any benefit at all , from the possession of the elective franchise ? Apart from the occasional fingering of . a miserable bribe , the practice of which in the United States ij u common and current aa political venality can make it , they toil their six days a week , earn their scanty wages , and have aa desperate a struggle with poverty aa our un » uffraged operative * at home . Republican bribery , as we may take a future opportunity of showing , it the rotteneat and , most pernicious bribery in existence .
Then , what sort of senatota should we have under Mr . Marshall ' s contemplated rtgim * ? Men returned to Parliament without a proper qualification , and paid a salary by their constituents , would , in all probability , be the purchase&ble tools of any Ministry that might choose to bid high enough for their co-operation or connivance ; and U Parliament * were annual , the fugitive nature of their delegated honours , instead of enhancing responsibility , woutd furnish only the stronger motive for reaping an early harvest of corruption .
Neither would Universal Suffrage itself , or what fa eomr aenly so called , be stamped with anything like finality . Modern education , which really means modern magic , Is working extraordinary changes ; whether they be improvements or not , is another question . Everything would struggle to be upon the move . Connected with repeated alterations in the franchise , it is by no means unlikely that an attempt might be made sooner or later to abridge the term of years heretofore assigned to pupillage and majority . These railway times may presently conduct lads to maturity and to political privileges at sixteen—nay ,
eventually , even at twelve . Females , too , patronised by the advocates of equality , might by and by grow Impatient of their quiet legitimate influence , and seek to become active Parliamentary politicians , with on alleged indefeasible right both to vote at the pollingbooth , and to harangue at the hustings . Pray , Mr . J . Q . Marshall , where would all this stop ? What is now called Universal Snffrage , were it ever adopted , would just be tantamount to universal confusion . Mr . Marshall should teach his workmen sounder principles , and set them a better example . At present , whatever he may think of it , he is only contributing to their misery . —Times .

HOUSE OF LORDS . —Friday , Feb . 12 th . The Bishop of Londok presented a petition from the Mayor and Corporation of Leeds in favour of the Bill for the Drainage of Buildings . He fully concurred in the prayer of the petition , as he believed a great portion of all disease in large towns arose from imperfect sewerage and ventilation . Lord Ellen borough thought the moral and religious improvement of the poor totally inconsistent with their physical degradation , and that it was utterly idle to boiM churches and school-houses until the poor man was placed In a situation of self-respect , and had a corafortabable home . He regretted that the Bill was only prospective in its operation . In answer to the Marquis of Salisbury , Viscount Di'NCAN . tO . v said it was the intention of Government to proceed with the recommendations of the committee for making additional thoroughfares in the metropolis a 3 soon as possible .
The Marquis of Xoruamjt moved the second reading of the Drainage of Buildings Bill . It was but one step upon the subject , and he promised their Lordships it wonld be followed up by others . The Noble Lord then referred i » t some length to the prevalence of fevers and other diseases in various districts of the metropolis , which had not been properly drained or ventilated . In the provinces the mime ill effects were observable in all the large manufacturing towns , where vast numbers of the population were crowded together in badly ventilated and drained district * . The Noble Lord referred to the statistical tables of the mortality , in Manchester , Liverpool , Glasgow , and other large towns , in order to show that of lato yean it had considerably Increased . It was not his intention at present to extend the provisions of the Bill to Scotland , although he had no objection to it * being extended to Ireland .
The Marquis of Salisbury said his only objection to the Bill was , that it did not go far enough . Some of the provisions had been rather hastily considered , and he proposed , therefore , that it should be referred to a select committee up stairs . The Eul of WlCKLOW also thought the measure imperfect in some of its details . The Marquis of Westminster supported the Bill , which was then read a second time , and ordered to be referred to % wlect committee up stairs . —Adjourned till next Tuesday .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Friday , Feb . 12 . Several bills for amending railway acts were advanced a stage . Petitions were presented , by Sir . Brotherton , for a free pardon to Frost , Williams , and Jones ; by Mr . Berkeley , against the Corn Laws , and from the merchants of Bristol against the equalisation of the duties on East and West India produce ; by Mr . O'Connell , against the combination of workmen in the printing trade ; and by Mr . Lockhart and Mr . Ewart , in favour of the copyright of designs bill . Lord J . Russell , in reply to Sir E . Sugden , stated that it was his intention to oppose the bill of the Right Hon . Gentleman on the subject of the administration of justice in the Privy Council and the House of Lords .
Mr . Godson gave notice that , on the 23 rd February , he should move for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the present state of companies established for the insurance of lives . Mr . Ewart gave notice that , on the 20 th February , he should move for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the treatment of lunatics in the Hanweli Asylum . In answer to Mr . Ewart , Lord Palmersto * raid it was the intention of Government to propose a reductien of the duty on Neapolitan oil , bat be could not say to -what extent It was also their intention to bring in a bill to facilitate the transfer of goods by document between principal and factor .
Mr . Hume wished to know whether there was any truth in the report which bad obtained circulation in the Indian papers , namely , that the 2 nd Bengal cavalry had behaved so badly during the war in Afghanistan , refusing to advance at the command of their officers , that they had been sent back to Bengal and disbanded —that upon investigation it turned out that Sir John , now Lord Keane , had ordered a trooper of the regiment to be shot without court-martial or inquiry , and that no regular inquiry had been permitted into the circumstances .
Sir J . Hobiiouse regretted that the Hon . Member , upon tbe evidence of a newspaper correspondent , would believe a British general officer to have been an accomplice of imuifcr under the pretence of discharging hia duty . The object evidently was to prevent as hon . and gallant officer , who had served his country for nearly fifty years , from receiving the reward to which he was justly entitled . Tke facts of the case were , that the regiment in question were commiting depredations on the standing crops of a village , and at the earnest entreaties of the leading men videttes were posted arouud the fields with instructions to fire over the heads of the marauders . One man was in consequence wounded in the l eg , and if the man had been shot on the spot the commanding officer would have been perfectly justified , ( Cheers . ) He would add further , that during the whole advance not only was no man punished with death , but there was no instance of oorparal punishment having been inflicted .
Mr . Wjlliams wished to know II the papers which had published these calumnious statements would be prosecuted . Mr , Hogg said no report whatever had reached the Directors of the East India Company in reference to these charges . Lord Howick thought the ex planation of the Right Hon . Gentleman highly satisfactory . The House then went into committee to take into consideration her Majesty ' s message relative to a grant to Lord Keane . Lord J . Rissell proposed that a sum of £ 2 , 000 be granted to Lord Keane and his tw » next surviving heirs . Sir R , Peel seconded the motion , and declared that he would not disturb the unanimity of the House with reference to any political questions .
Lord Howick . opposed tue grant , and reminded the Noble Lord ( J . Bussell ; of the practice In ancient times of rewarding the victorious general * with a laurel crown . In later times a word from Queen EHc&beth was thought the highest reward that could be conferred upon the bravest and most distinguished of the generals . He thought a large grant of the public money was altogether uncalled for . Lord J . Russell observed that in ancient times a victorious army returned laden with spoils , and the country would be ahocked it it had been stated that Sir John Keane had returned to England with several waggon loads of silver .
Mr . Hums objected to the creation of a pauper peerage , and thought it extremely injadicious to penjion a family for three generations upon the public tax e * Such a step tended to degrade the peerage In the eyes of the public He also objected on the ground that the motion was not well timed ; they had not the mean * of paying the debts they had already incurred , and at the present momen t there was an excess of five millions of expenditure over their income . Sir H . Vivian supported the motion . Mr . Mukiz did not think himself authorised to tax those who were yet unborn for such a purpose , although he did not mean to disparage the services of the Noble Lord , or to refuse him an ample reward in hia own person .

Mr . Bbothertow thought they ought to confer rewards and , distinction * on Captain Clegg and those like hint , who bad been instrumental in saving life , instead of voting large aums to tho * e who bad caused a great destruction of life . ( Hear , and laughter . ) General Johnson thought it a wasteful expenditure ef the public funda , and would oppoae the motion . Colonel Salwkt bad known the present Government long enough to learn that there was the greatest possible contrast between their professions out of doors and their conduct in the House , On n division , there appeared—for the motion , 195 ; against it , 43 , The House then went into committee on the Custom Duties Bill , and Mr . Labouchere moved a resolution for the reduction of the d « ty en rum , the produce of the East Indies .
Mr . Goulburk complained that the West India Interests had been treated moat unfairly in the proposed measure of Government for the equalization of the duty on rum and other articles of East India produce . It was beside * a direct breach of faith , because they had been told that there would be no Interference at present with the West India interest * in consequence of the difficulties under which , they were labouring . He denied that the measure would be of so much benefit to the Eatt Indies aa was expected by its frameia . :
Mr . LABOUCSERE was glad the speech of the Right Hon . Gentleman contained so few substantial objection * against tbia proposition . It was evident that it was merely a question of time between himself and the Right Hon . Gentleman . The manufactures of India had been almost annihilated , although he believed the demand for En glish manufactures In that country was only limited by their own restrictions . He was quite sure that in a country like theirs , possessing widely extended colonial territories , there was but one safe and rational principle , namely , to treat with equal favour and protection every part of the empire . ( Loud cheers . ) , Mr . Ewart thought all the articles of East India produce , including coffee and tobacco , should be placed upon th « same footing aa the produce of the West Indies . '
Mr . CotQCHOUN aaid if they abolished the protection they would inoreate the commercial prosperity of both colonies . Mr . HaWES said it would also have the effect of increasing the exertion * of the West Indian colonies , and the result of the application of the principles of freo trade would be found ultimately beneficial . The revenue was falling off from the present high price of sugar , and a great objection would be raised , througheut the country , to the imposition of new taxes , when the revenue might be increased by an honest course of commercial polioy . Sir A . Grant aaid the West Iadiea were in a state of transition , and suggested that IJ » duty should be gradually diminished . . Sir S . TjVishinoton would not support any proposition Which would not fully aecure that country against the chance of the introduction of the produce of slave labour . Lord Sandon said the Interests of the free labourers had been completely lost sight of . If the measure waa carried into immediate tflf-wt , it would compel the planters to discontinue the employment of these men . He thought the operation of the Bill ought to be delayed for at least two years . Mr . Labouchere said it could not come into practical operation tor six months , and he should not consent to any further delay . Sir R . Peel advocated the plan of a gradual reduction ot the duty , as otherwise , the West Indian proprietors would have some reason to complain that they had been taken by surprise . At the same time he did not intend to disturb the unanimity of the House by offering any opposition to the present motiou . The resolution was ultimately agreed to without a division . The Committee of Ways and Means was postponed on the suggestion of Sir R . Peel .
Mr . LaBOUCHEEE moved the second reading of the Railways Bill , stating that he would not take the next stage for a fortnight , in order that ample time might bo given for considering its detail * .

TO THE BDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . New York , January 29 th , 1841 . Dear Sir , —Not wishing to trouble you of tener than appears necessary , I have not for sometime trespassed on your patience , or the coiumna of your extensively circulated journal ; but , at this time , having a few facts of importance to communicate ( not exactly of importance to the community , but to individual families ) , I hope you will give me apace for the present ecrawl . In the first place , I bog to inform you , that the ship American arrived here on the Hth day of December , having had a very protracted voyage , during which many of the passengers were taken ill , in consequence of want of provisions , &c among whom were :
Bradbury and Charles Kinsoy , from the neighbourhood of Oldharu ; and John Adarason , carpenter , late a resident in Glasgow , who boarded with me , and whom I found necessary to send te the hospital—a place whero every necessary attention is paid them . Adamson ia recovered , and now following his employment ; Bradbury is fast recovering , and I expect will be out in a few days ; but Kinsey died in » few days after bis admission . Lobley , from Bradford , is also in the Pensylvanla Hospital . Another case I * that ol Brows , from Manchester , who come out in the ship Francis first , arriving hero on the 18 th of the present month , in company with whom was James Hudson , of Bradford ; William Ibboteun , of Halifax , bookseller ; and a young man of the name of Colcroft , or Cowcroft , from near Halifax . These persons boarded with me for eight or nine days , during which time Mr . Brown appeared very weak , and kept his bed -, after which , ML'Ssrs . Ibbotson and Colcroft went over the river , and
engaged a place in which to carry on the basinets of fellmongering or tanning , leaving Hudson and Brown with me ( the latter still in bed ) until the following day , when Hudson removed him to the place taken by tho others , ia Jersey , under & pretext that he should board ami lodge with them , which ended , on the morning following b , is removal , with Hudson decamping , and taking £ 92 sterling belonging to the man Brown , who may bo , apparently , about forty-live or fifty years of age . The case has not yet been brought before the police , but shall be immediately . Ibbotson says that Hudson has , also , £ 42 sterling belonging to him . Time , however , the unravdler of nil myterieB , will , perhaps , throw additional light on this villanou * and infernal transaction , by which a sick man , in years , has been plundered of every penny in his possession , and left dcitituto in a strange land . He is now about being admitted into the Hospital , to live on the benevolence of the public until he is restored to health , or passes out of this stage of existence into that where there are
no rogues . It appears that the manner in which the money of Brown was got-possession of is a somewhat novel step in the art of thieving . On the voyage it was represented to him how dangerous it was to have a sum of money by him in his trunks , or otherwise , and was thereby induced to give it up to the safe keeping ef Hudson , who would lodge it in his rule pocket , on the side of his pantaloons , taking care to stitch it especially safe , —and it has proved , so safe , that Hudson has gone off , and the money with him , it evidently having been impossible to separate them .
Political matters appear on the move : an extra Session is proposed by put British Whigs , to enable them to repeal tue Sub-Treasifry Bill , &c , &c . The affairs in the State of Maine look anything but peaceable . M'Laod is stated to have been admitted on bail ; such is nut the fact . The moneymongers here , in connection with those of Britain , are moving heaven and earth to mortgage the States , by internal improvements , &c , but I guess it won't do ; Brother Jonathan will settle their affairs one of these daya , By giving insertion to the above , you will greatly oblige many of your readers , and the families referred to . I am , Sir , Yours , very respectfully , Peter Bussey . No . 2 , Front-street , New York , U . S .
P . S . I have also just been informed that George Atkinson , son , of Robert Atkinson , of Bradford , who arrived here on the 26 'th day of September , in the ship F&irfield , died this day , ia the Lun&tic Asylum , to which place be was taken on the evening of the 27 th instant P . B .

In thk same Coubt an action was tried in whick Mr . Egan , a barrister , claimed from the Guardians of the Kensington Union a balance of account due for attending to the business of returning-officer at tho election for Guardians . It appeared that the Guardians had advertised for a barrister , and it was agreed the plaintiff should be employed at five guineas a day . The defendants had tendered £ 260 , and the plaintiff ' s demand was £ 378 . A barrister ' s right 10 bring an action for fees was questioned ; and the circumstance of striking a bargain for services was strongly animadverted on by the Attorney-General as degrading to the profession . The verdict was for the defendants , on the ground that the sum paid into court covered the plaintiff ' s legal demand ;

Barclay on board , when adverse winds drovo her back to Sheeruess , having lost a windlass and anchor , on Thursday week . She awaits the repair of this accident to set out again . —Colonial Gazette .

A Genuine Pateiabch . —From a friend a mm dent at Scuddebargh , we learn that there i ' gat gent alive in the island of Harris a man ww * ** bom ia 1730 , and has attained , or mher tL *? Ihe 110 th year of his age . JFrom his youth uS he has cherished all the feelings that con stitmlU true Celtic character , and was deemed tru st *™ - *? enough to become one' of the attendants of m M'Leod , tacksman of Bernera , during his goinnT in & hiding-place that blood-hoondseoHld notr * . i ? subsequent to the disastrous battle of CallS *^ The spot chosen was Uamba Uiludai ; and * v ?! thos secreted , he fared- better than Baron BraiW ' dine , by clansmen and friends , who sup plied 1 ^ with venison , mutton , and fisb , and other aJ «? saries , obtained by hunting , dexterity , or itw ! wise , and served according to the rude fasbioa oftw times . The name of the individual , who him ^ generation after generation committed to thegraT
is John Martin ; his faculties of speech , sigh * » lu hearing are unimpaired , and he ia still sohiiT ^ bodily health that , in good weathar , he thh £ nothing of travelling to the top of the highest hm in , Harris . Our friend conversed with Hiin » H , lately , and , as he has had no feet gear for theiS four years , very kindly sent him a pair of shoes , r youth he was remarkably swift of foot , and n « £ the age of sixty , could out-run and seize a sheens the steepest hill side . Even John Merry W » j ? English pedestrian , would have found him aDnpl customer , more particularly had the racft ^ J *? been tho forest of Harris . Old as he is , he wa » J »» * so far south as Skye ; with Storhaway he is eqntfi unacquainted ; and good as Mb legs have lons ^ l fortune has so chained him to a narrow Ioc-m , that he bears a close resemblance to the diriJZ Bbbbiner , besung by a Cowper , *? who never twvelled forty miles from home .

A Strange Parish . —The following anecdote k we are assured , true : —About eighty years »» * S parish of Gilerux contained a very Bc&nty popuS . tion , and for three successive yevsthe parish S made no returns , at the annual visitations ohh » registers of either marriages , births , or buriak When the court inquired the reason , suspecting ul of negligence in the discharge of his p ^ oS duties , he replied ( alluding to the parisbionetsHb " "God-did not like them , the devil did not fittthem and they did not like one another . " Of this tfj t&ml reply an explanation was demanded . " God < m not Jike them , " sa ! 3 he , " else he would take sots of them to himself ; the devil did not like them , '« he would do the same ; , and they did not like am another , or there would be marriages and birthi amongst them . " It is needless to say wh&s efftoi this had on the whole court . —Cumberland FacktL

TheW » T was long , and he was taken in a vehicle amidaTerr strong escort of gendarmerie to the place of pmi ^ ment . All the populations along the road tmtA out to see the melancholy procession , and went down , on their knees as the criminal passed .

Master and Man . —Mr . Robinson , a silk num . facturer in Miik-street , and Thomas Palmer , « . operative weaver , attended before Sir Ciaudios Hunter , Bart ., at the Guildhall , London , as « 6 i . trators appointed to settle a dispute between Mi , Ambrose Moore and Robert Wheeler , one of the sUk-wea , veYs employed by him . The questijn it issue is to bo contested in tho superior courts . At the first hearing , before Mr . Alderman Kell y , the complainant required compensation for loss of tinw through the default of Mr . Moore ' s foreman in withholding a portion of the materials , the other por . tion being fixed up in his loom , so that he cook do no other work . He was thus kept idle fifteen dm .
for which he sought compensation at the rw-oi 2 s . 6 d . a day . Some of this delay was wilful , isth » master had the material to deliver . Mr . Ambon Moore put some questions to Wheeler , who , in reply , paid he was to be paid Is . per yard for weaving tiia satin . He made 135 yards , and had been paid ks yard for it . Mr . Moore said he did not mas to enter into the question whether the man bad beta kept idle so many days , but to insist that tht magistrate had no right to entertain th « complaint at all , and begged to intimjfe that he ( Mr . Moore ) would resist , by legil proceedings , any decision the Alderaau might come to . A man could not be paid in tra
ways , by the piece and by the week at tbe saw time . Mr . Alderman Kelly , nevertheless , proceeded to appoint two arbitrators , who met on Friday , and being . unablo to agree to any award , came bickto the sitting Magistrate to determine as umpire between them . The arbitrator for the journeymia contended , that though a man mi «; ht be paid by the yard , he was entitled to compensation for any ism he might be kept waiting for materials , and he waa for awarding two shillings and sixpence a ds ^ for thirteen days . Mr . Robinson , on the ottar side , said Mr . Moore had declined giving any e ^ nca , or taking any cognizance of the arbitration ; and ,
with regard to the point in dispute , he thought the journeyman entitled to nothing beyond the price per yard . Delay and disappointment " in the obt&iaiag a continuous supply of material had ever been incident to the trade , and was contemplated in the price allowed per yard . If , in the practice of tho trade ,-the loom were kept constantly going , lower Wage ? would be given , and the claimant would h * vehad 9 d . a yard instead of Is . Sir Claudius Huater , after hearing the evidence as to tho < fe / . iys in this case , made au award , that Mr . Moore should pay los . for the loss of six days , 4 s . as expeneesto the journeymen who acte ' d as arbitrators , and 43 . to a-witness for his loss of time .
