DaXADFtTL EXPLOSIOB IS BoUOU . AM > . LaJIE > TADLE I ^> ss of Life . —Boaan Jt / lt J . —A dread / ul explo-Eion occurred at the woollen mill of Alderman Brooks of Manchester , this morning , soon after eleven , when ihe steam boiler blew tip with a report liko a piece of artillery . The fide of the mill , at the end where the engine stood , was shattered to its base , the walls being rent and the windows completely demolished Search was made among the ruins , and two bodies were found dreadfully mangled , and three or four
others were carried off , apparently in a dying state . The two men who are killed , and another who is dangerously injured , worked in a drying-room ovzr ihe eD £ ine-honse , and xavtat have been driven into the air -snih the bniiding . The fireman who wasatieading the engine is also much hurt , bnt hopes are entertained of his recovery . A womaa is also in a dangerous state , who is supposed to have been passing from the mill into the yard when the explosion took place . The cause of the accident cannot bo ascertained . The boiler has only been in use about six months .
Latest Pabticbulb&—The extent of the injury , by the explosion of the steam-boiler at the linen mill of Mr . John Books , is now -ascertained . Three persons haTe perished by the calamity . Bridget Hart , who was the first . person discovered among the ruins , died at her house in Newport-street this morning , leading a hnsband and three children . She was returning from the yard to -the mill , when the explosion took place , and thus met her melancholy end . James Swift , an elderly man , - was found dead . He has lefl a wife and four children . Be was employed in a drying-lonm over the boOer-honse , and must haTe been thrown into the sir wiib . ihe materials of the building . James M'Donald , of Dalestreet , was also employed in the orying-room , and
met the same fate as his companion , Swift . He was a young man , and has left a wife in a state of pregnancy . He had only gone to work at the mill that corning with his brother William , who was also lunch mutilated , bat is expected to recoTer . James Higg , the mechanic ; George Brinseow , the fireman , and the others who were injured , are considered on * ¦ of danger . When the explosion took place , the boDer and the engine-house flew into the air , and -were scattered aronnd . One portion of the boiler fell in Bark-street , and the other in the mill yard ; -and thus providentially the shed , which lite between them , and in which a great Dumber of hands were employed , was allowed to escape . Had the boiler
fallen - upon the shed , its immense weight must haTe earned in the roof with it , and the destruction of human life would haTe been dreadfaL One end of the n » vn -was completely shattered from the foundation to the roof ; and the shock to the whole range of building was so great , that the hands uttered a shriek of horror , and gave themselves tip in despair . The damage will be from £ 1 . 51 ) 010 £ 2 , 000 , and it is thought it will require two months to restore the portion destroyed to working order ; bnt in abonfc a fortnight the new engine , and another which are at the Bridge-street end of the building , will be pet to work , and will employ between 300 and 400 lands . In the whole establishment there wore about $ 40 employed .

' s Colliery , Low Laitbs , during the time the colliers haTe been on strike for an advance of wages . During the time of the strike , persons ¦ who haTe not understood the colliery business haTe been employed , and the man who lost his life on Tuesday was by trade a blacksmith . While he was at work in the afternoon , a large quantity of coal and dirt from the roof of the pit fell in , and buried him in the ruins . When the rubbish was remoTed he was found lifeltS 3 . This accident will surely be a caution to those persons who do not understand the business of a pitman , not to recklessly Tenvnre their Irres to serre the purposes of the coal kings .

Hallway . It appears that the unfortunate man was engaged in removing a large stone on the top of one of the piers , and Yras nsing a crow-bar fer that purpose ^ when he overbalanced himself and fell a distance of ninety feet . In the fall his body came in contact with a portion of the scaffolding projecting from the wall below , seriously injuring his side . Mr .

HSCLPS OF A SOLDIEB FJROM THE StEOXG-RoOM 25 tes Towcr . —On Sunday night last , Thomas Uoeges , prrraie in the Scotch PnsSeer Guard .- * , made his escape frem the strong-room attached to the barracks in ihe Tower . He was under sentence of Eixi ' y days' confinement , for disobedience of orders , and is belieTed to haTe been in posses-Eion of a f nantity of Taluable jewellery which had been stolen from a gentleman named Studly , at Uonh Brixton , by his servant , who was transported for the efienee at the last Old Bailey-Sessions . The Ctrl was taken into custody in the Tower , while
on a Tisit to Hodges , who was seen several times , by his comrades , with jewellery and a number of sovereigns , after that occurrence . He was taken into custody , and examined at Union-ball , but dis-* hi ? £ ed for -want of evidence . Since then he had been tried by a Coart-martial , and sentenced to sixty days' confinement . He contrived to get a suit of private clothes on Saturday , and was seen in possession of a diamond ring and abont twenty sovereigns . He is supposed to have gone to Herefort , and a handsome reward is offered for his ap prehension . He i 3 abont six feet hith , well made , lighi complexion , and sandy hair and whiskers , aged
twenty-six . Death op a Mas raoit as Oteb-iwjee of MkdiCEJE . —On Satnrday afternoon last , an inquest "was held before Mr- Hudson , coroner , at the Joiner ' s Arm ? , Higher Hill , Manchester , on the body of "William Ellison , aged about 60 , who met his death onder the following circumstances : —The deceased inhabited a cellar in Brentnall-street , and was in Terr indigent circumstances , getting hi 3 living by jobbing and labourer ' s work . For some time he had b * en troubled with scurry , which affected his cye 3 , and on Monday Treek he determined to get something to core him of that disorder . He got a threegill boule from hi 3 cousin , three parte filltd with "water , and went with it to Mr . Beaumont ' s ,
druggist , Hiilgate , whose assistant , a young man named Eerehaw , at deceased ' s request , pnt Intp it one pennyworth ( 1 cz- ) of sulphur ( flour of brimstone ) ; one pennyworth ( 2 cz . ) of saltpetre ; and one pennyworth <§ oz . ) of cream of tartar . All these were pnt into the bottle , and mixed up together , ihe different ¦ witnesses understanding from the deceased that the mixture was to stand in solution for three days , and then a portion of it might be taken ; but none of them "knew how much . TKis mixture deceased had told his cousin had been recommended to him by a woman , who bad found it efScacions in -a similar case to his own . On Friday morning , the deceased was obserTed by the neighbours residing in the same yard , to go to the privy EeTeral
times ; indeed , he was described " as constantly running to and from that place ; but no one appeared to take particular notice , not liking to interfere in hi 3 affairs . At half-pasi eleven o ' clock , a groan "Wa 3 heard proceeding from the privy ; but the ^ eceasfed came out again , apparently Tery ill . At one o ' clock , he was observed to re-enter , and not coming ont for half an hour , the neighbours began to confer with each other , and a man named Joseph Darlington Tolunteered to go in and see what he was doing . Deceased wa 3 by this inan found cronebed down in one corner : his face was blaefc , and he quite dead . Mr . Rayner , snrgeoD , declared that the death of the deceased had been caused by an overdose of the saltpetre , which had produced inflammation of the mucous membrane of the siomach and bowels , under which the deceased
had sunk . He added , that supposing the bottle to have contained originally sixteen ounces , or a pint cf liquid , forty grains of the saltpetre would bare been suficient for eight doses , cne every three houra . As it was , that quantity had been made to contain $ 63 grains , or snough to produce inflammation in the bowels of a horse 1 It seemed deceased had taken rather more than half a pint , which quantity-would make about five wine glasses fnll , — the quaanty he was supposed to haTe taken as a dose , a wine glass full ought to have contained only five grains , but in this instance it contained 120 , * o that that quantity multiplied by the nnmber of co--es ( five ) would giTB mx hundred as the nnmber of grains imbibed bj the deceased . The jury at once returned a verdict— " Died from an oTer-do 3 e of saltpetre incantionsly taken . "

The Loss of the Manchester . —The intelligence brought by ih » Company ' s steam-sj ? p John Bull , Capt . Corbin , which arriTed late on Friday night , respecting th « deplorable loss of the Manchester steamer , is somewhat interesting . It still bears out that which we have already laid before the public , that not a soul has been spared to tell the tale of her wreck . At CuxhaTen , hopes were entertained that s » me might have escaped by being washed ashore in the boatg to the southward of the Elbe ; but by advice receded from all quarters it proTes to be a forlorn hope . The Hamburg steam-ship had conveyed to Hambnrg a portion of the wreck ; but most partB of it were in small pieces , the effect of being dashed about by the breakers . Large quantities of the cargo h&Te been found , and the accounts from HuxhaTen state them to be as followi—6 U
packets of twist , 112 pieces of velvet , 55 pieces of calico , 13 packets of tull , 199 packetB of twist , 5 * packets of calico , and similar large quantities are expected to be safely landed and honsed in a few days . There haTe also been recovered some ladies ' clothes , linen dresses , collara , and stockings , the letter marked M . H . S ., no doubt belonging to Mrs . St . George Smith or her dangbters , they being the only female passengers on board . Down the ooast at Busum , and at a place called Hedelbigenkoog , a quantity of manufactured goods haTe been cast ashore , and about 2 , 000 more bundles of twist , which has since been forwarded to CuxhaTen , and the whole of the saVrage was disposed of by public auction in the course of Wednesday . From the fact of the cabin clock and a watch being picked up , showing the same time , half-past one , there cannot be a doubt but that she was lost at that
time on Sanflay morning . The captain , Mr . Dudley is said to haTe been a steady experienced sailor . He formerly commanded the Innisfail , Newcastle steamer , then the Scotia , in the Hamburg ! trade , and then the Express , mail-steamer , from Hull to Gottenbtirg . S ^ me of the crew on board the John Bul l asserted that he had preTiousiy made the Elbo by going to the Northward of the Heligoland light , a course attended with considerable danger . The list of those who hare perished , as far as could be ascertained , of the crew and passeBgers , is as follow ? : — > jr . Dndley , commander ( single man ); Mr . Haiichman , ( a Havoverisn , ) chief mate—left a wife and two children : Nicholas Haitchman , ( brother to the
chief mate ) , second officer , ( married ); Mr . Andrews , steward , ( married , and two young children ); Mrs . Webb , of E ? sex , stewardess , ( ieftason at Hamburg ); Jonas Wilson , chief engineer , ( left a wife and two children ); T . Macauley , second engineer , ( married ); Christian Nicholson , ship ' s carpenter , ( married ) . The names of the remainder of Vbe crew , fourteen in Dumber , are unknown . The passengers were Mrs , St . George Smith , aged 49 ; Miss Emily Smith , her daught er , aged 21 ; Mr . St . George Smith , her son , aged 26 ; Mr . Rotbery , wool merchant , of Leeds ; Mr . W . Fron ? , of Manchester ; and another gentleman , whose name aJ present is unknown . Tbe illfated Manchester had two letter bags on board , bo . h of which "were of course lost .
DisTHESsrca Accident os Lancaster Sands . —On Saturday last a labouring man of the name of James Fryers met with bis death under the following painful circumstance ? . He was proceeding to Kent ' s Bank , on the opposite side of the river , to commence work for Mr . Fox , plasterer , of this town , from whom he had just obtained employment ; and on reaching one of ths numerous channels with which these sands are intersected , declined the offer of a " lift" thai was made him by a carter who was
crossing the sands at the sama time , preferring to wade across . The result of this rash determination was , that when he had attained the centre of xhe stream , he was swept eff his feet by the violence of the current , and carried Beaward with great lapidity . Some fishermen , who had witnessed the oceurrence , immediately pushed off to his assistaace , and had got close to him when the unfortunate man made an unsuccessful grasp at ths boat , and then disappeared beneath its stern . He has left a widow and two children to mourn his ioss .
Fatal Coal-ht Accident . —On Saturday night last , an accident happened at one of the coal-pits of the Earl of Balcarres , in Haigb , near Wigan , by which a sinker , named Jas . Taylor , received such itjurie 3 as to cause his death abaut eleven o ' clock on Sunday morning . We haTe not beard the particulars of the accident , except that a stone fell upon deceased while he was a ; work in the pit shaft , cutting bis head Tery seTerely , and rendering him senseless . Tiie poor fellow was taken np in this state , and conveyed to his house in Standbbgate , Wjgan , where lie lingered until the time of his death , as above stated . The deceased was a married man , with a family .
Respite of Dalmas . —Oa Saturday afternoon , Mr . Kean , tha Governor of Horsemongw-lane Gaol , together with Mr . Under Sheriff Abbott , had an inierTiew with Sir James Graham , the result of which was that the Home Secretary undertook to grant a respite to the convict until Monday next . We understand that tLis reBpite has been granted , in order to afford time for the completing certain inquiries respecting his case , which are still pending On Saturday afternoon , the final interview took place between Dalmas and his daughters , which wa 3 of a heart-rending description , and the unhappy young women departed , fully impressed that they had taken their last farewell of their ODly surviving parent . We understand that no other expectation is entertained , bat that the prisoner will be execnted on Monday next .
Sheffield , Sc : « day Mokmxg . —Fibk at Loud Whabncliifs's Farm , WoRTi . vy Hall—About one o ' clock this morning a large corn stack , in the stack yard at Wortley Hall , was discoTered to bo on fire . An express was sent off to Sheffield , distant 8 A , miles for the fire-engines , which arrived about three o ' clock . Owing to the calmness of the night , and the great exertions of the tenants of his Lordship and the inhabitants generally , the fire was confined to one stack , containing about , sixty < JuaTteiS . It is supposed to be the work of an incendiary . Lord Wharncliffe has made himself very unpopular in the West Hiding for his advocacy of the New Poor Law .
Incendiabt Fires in Cambridge . —Two more fires occurred in the course of Wednesday night . The principal one was at Siravesey , on the farmyard of Mr . Carter . Fortunately all the corn had been thrashed the week previously and removed ; and as the tire was obserTed at the commencement , some liTe stock and other property was preserved . The buildings destroyed comprised two barns , a nag stable , cow-lodge , large cart-lodge , and gighoose ; these were the property of the lord of the manor , T . Cockayne , E = q . The loss of the tenant , Mr . Car : er , is thirteen tons of old hay , Un tons of clover , four carts , a large quantity of straw , some
poultry , several ont-bnildings , and much mjuiy to the household furniture . Immediately aojoining these premises wa 3 a large homestead , occupied by Mr . Thorp , the property of John Dodson , E 3 q-The spot selected by the incendiary was where the properties were tha most airectly contiguous , and consequently the flames tvero upon the iwo estates almost at the same moment . Mr . Thorp had burnt a slack of clover , stack of old hay , part of a stack of new hay , a few implements , some straw , and a small qnantity of pouliry ; one end of the dwelling-house is also injured , having been on fire several times .
1 be S ? t System . —The Tipperary Vindicator says , M White , who has been strongly suspected as one of the principal coucoctors of rhe nefarious Ribbon conspiracies against the unprotected peasantry , in the King ' s Couniy , including the notorious Shinrone case , and others which may ye ; be brought to light , has been again caught in his foul practices , writing threatening letters to that Tory nobleman , the Marquis of Westmeath , at Castletown Delvin . He has been ful 3 y committed to Mulligar gaol to abide his trial at the next assizes !! Of course it was his aim to fasten the writing of these letters on innocent parties—but he was foiled . "

Hudson , Coroner , at tha Commercial Inn , Dnkinfield , on the body of Mo 3 £ S Newly , aged 21 , a collier employed by the Dunkirk Coal Company .

On Friday the deceased was engaged with other workmen m widening an old road , when the majority of them , perceiving that the roof was about to fall , went away .

Captain bad died at sea on the 6 th of the same month , the mate three days subsequently , and that two of the crew had fallen into the sea . They stated that they bad latterly been sailing they knew not whither , and were astonished to find that they bad reached Nova Scotia . ; Captain Cunningham was tha first person who went on board . He found the whole ship in disorder The crew were all well dressed , and appeared to have been faring sumptuously for several days . Bottles were lying about in every direction . A chest of dollars was open , and the ship ' s papers and ail sorts of valuables were scatterod about , Tarlons articles of female "wearing apparel , as also that of a little child , were foond ; bnt the crew made no mention of such individuals having been on board , and tbe entries in the lig book ceased altogether on the 14 th of April .
Tbe circumstances altogether naturally excited the suspicions of Captain Cunningham who immediately forwarded information to the Hon , Michael Tobin , ( Lloyd ' s agent at Halifax , ) and that gentleman proceeded "without loss of time to the spot in Her Majesty ' s schooner Fair Rosamond . The result of this examination led him to the same conclusion Captain Cunningham had pieviously arrived at—namely , that the crew bod mutinied and seised the vessel . Application was accordingly made to the court of Admiralty on the subject , and by their authority tbe crew were arrested on suspicion , and placed in solitary confinement in the Halifax county gaoL In the course of a very few days several ot the crew expressed a wish to confess the facts of this dreadful case and { torn their confessions we haTe gleaned tbe following factB : —
Some of the crew of the S . iladln having deBerted at Talparaiso others "were shipped to supply their places , and among these was a man named George Jones , a sailmtkker , and a Captain Fielding , who bad been the master of the ship Vitula , of LiTerpool , which had been some time previously seized by tbe Cbilian Government , and confiscated for an infringement of therevenue laws of that country . Fielding had a son also on board , a youth about sixteen years of age . The Salailn sailed on the l ? tb of February , having a crew in all of fourteen persons . A good deal of bad feeling existed be tween the different members of the crew , and on some occasions Captain M'Keozle openly quarrelled with Fielding , who bad obtained his passage through the instrumentality of the mate , Mr . Byerley , No open
rupture , however , took place before the middle of April , about which time a plot to murder the captains mate , and a portion of the crew was concorted b , Fielding and Jones , who engaged in their nefariou ; design the assistance of a Swede and two others of tbe crew , who had been shipped at Talparaiso , Carr , and Galloway , state , that the whole plot was planned and executed : in less than forty-hoars . The mutiny broke forth on Sunday morning , the 14 th of April , during the larboard ( male ' s ) watch , the mate bimsulf being tbe first -victim . He was in a delicate state of health , and while reclining on tbe poop he was struck with an axe and knocked overboard without the least noise being made . The captain ' s watch was then called , and as the men came on deck they were knocked on the
head and pitched overboard almost without a groan . Two of the murderers then went below to dispatch the captain ; but his faithful dog was beside him on the berth , and they "were afraid to approach him lest he might be aroused by its barking . Another man , who came upon deck about this time , and whs was in the raizsn chains , sad his head split open with an axe , and he fell into the sea , bis blood streaming on the deck . The wretches at this juncture , in order to draw the captain out of his cabin , raised the cry of " A man overboard . " The plan succeeded but too well , and , as he ascended the companion ladder , be received a blow
on the head with a hammer from one of tbe mutineers . The b ? ow did not , however , take aood effect , and he rushed upon the deck with tbe hope of defending himself , but was attacked by others , soon overpowered and thrown overboard . Carr and Galloway state that they first heard an alarm at this period , having been exempt from keeping watch . Carr went on deck , and , upon inquiring -what -was the matter , was informed of all that had occurred , and then saw before bim those who remained of the crew except Galloway , who was still below . The attack appeared to have been most systematic . Six men were lost without a struggle , and almost without leaving a trace of murder behind .
Fielding , who seems to have beeu a most desperate Tilliin , soon aft * r the murderB became suspicious and fearful . He threw eveiboard all the arms and ammunition in the Bhip , except a brace of pistols , which be secreted under the cabin-table , and a large carvingknife is tha possession of bis sor . Galloway sta g es that be made b proposal to bim to murder all the crew , except two besides themselves , run the ship ashore , sink her , and then make their escape . Galloway would not consent to this hellish project , and told the crew of the proposal . They irntnediattly became aroused at Fielding ' s treachery , and resolved to pitch both bim and his son overboard in self-defence . Fielding and his son were accordingly bound hand and foot , aud left in the captain ' s cabin during tbe whole of one night On the following morning they were both thrown overboard , tbe former by Carr , who alleged that be was forced to act against his inclination , and the latter by Galloway , also against his wilL
The ship was bow placed under the command of Galloway , who was tbe best scholar and navigator on board . His intention was to have gone op tbe St . Lawrence , where the crew were to have scuttled the vessel and escaped with the specie » t » d bullion . They were , however , led astray by the commander of an American Bcbooner , which they spoke only a few days previous to tbe time when the vessel struck , and this , providentially , baa been the cause of the murderers ' being brought to justice . Jones in bis confession gives the following description of the murder of tbe Captain . After describing the manner in which tbe unfortunate mate was billed while lying asleep unconscious of the designs of these boll-hounds , he goes on to say : —" Fielding and the others went to the main-deck , and I beard nothing for some time , until I herrd the carpenter ' s voice in tbe -water . This alarmed me , as I understood the captain wab to be killed before tbe carpenter was te be
disturbed , and I exclaimed , " O , Lord , there is a man ovei-board ! " With thiB Fielding ran immediately on the poop , arid shonted , " a man overboard 1 " as loud as he could , tbB Swede following him . Tbe captain ( Mr . K ° lz ' s ) ran out of tbe companion , and as be came up Anderson struck him , the blow did not kill him ; he run after Anderson round tbe companion .

SiiOEMASEBS ' j Stbike . —On Monday evening a 8 peci ~ l meeting of f the shoemakers' society was held at the Boy and Barrel Inn , Bradford , to maka arrangements with Mr . Kettlewell , whose men have been on strike for a considerable time . The dispute with him and the sooiety aroae from his desire to have men working in the shop contrary to tbe regulations of the trade , and Mr . Kettlewell finding his efforts useless to
induce good workmen to comply with his wishes , signified his intention to settle tbe dispute : accordingly Messrs . Smith anil Gardner were appointed by the society to meet Mr . Kettlewell , who at once acceded to the terms proposed by the deputation , requesting , aa a favour , that one man , who bad worked for him and was entirely ignorant '; of the dispute , should be leniently dealt with . This was agreed to , and the man was admitted a member on the same conditions as any other man wbo bad never belonged to a society . Tbe shopa are all now connected with tbe society , with tbe exception of two or three ; and those are likely soon to comply . During the long struggle of right against
might , the society entirely depended on tbeir own resources , never receiving tbe slightest pecuniary aid . Reason and argument , with tbe aasistanec rendered by the only organ of the working man—tke Northern Star ¦ —were tbe only weapons used ; and tbe result is that Bradford , once famed for the physical prowess of its sods of Crispin , and their dexterity with their quarter staff in the good old days of merry Robin Hood , is likely in tbe present day to bear away tbe palm from their brothers of the gentle craft for tbe highly moral and peaceable demeanour of the members , the business habits and economy of its efffcers , and 0 strict attention to tbe financial arrangements . They are increasing in members every meeting .

Sheffield . —About ; three weeks ago , a public meeting of Miners ! was held at Hands worth Woodnouse , in this neighbourhood . After the meeting eome women went to the colliery of Mr . France , where some knobsticks were at work . On their leaing work some p i" the women attacked and stripped them , for which offence warrants were issued against them by ^ he Sheffield magistrates . The police , however , were unable to execute the warrants , it was said through fear ; but we believe the real reason was , they could not find the parlies . Our blessed and saintly Town Council took this as a
pretext to arm the police with swords ; and on Wedneaday morning , at two o ' clock , a body of horse soldiery and a large number of the police , headed by a magistrate and the guperintendant , marched into Woodhouae , and broke open the houses Cf the suepeoted parties , and secured five women , one of whom had a child sacking at her breast : when two of tbeir husbands j remonstrated with them , they were taken into custody , and esoorted to the Town Hall , Sheffield . A temporary barrack ha 3 been built at Woodhouse ., although there ia not the slightest need of it . i .

FRANCE AND MOROCCO . Paeis , TDf . sDAY , Two p . m . —A-, extraordinary courier , who left Perpignan on the 29 : h of June , brings the following important intelligence ;—" The Emperor of Morocco has rejected the ultimatum of the Spanish Government . "The Emperor has equally rejected the preferred mediation of England . INDIA . The following extrae * is taken from the Bombay Monthly Times of tho 20 th of May : — " Considerable alarm prevailed at Shikar pore in , consequence of tho return of Captain Tait and Lieutenant Fitzgerald with a forca of 801 ) men , which had been repulsed at PooJ- \ jee , aud were followed by the enemy back to camp .
Since . — " The Beioochees having come down to > plunder ihe country round Shikarptw , had destroyed several villages within a few miles of our camp . Captain Tait , with 600 irreguiar horse , aud Lieutenant Fitzgerald , with 200 ot the camel corps , had gone out in quest of them , and having crossed the desert proceeded till very near the entrance of the Murree hills—the scene of so many of our misadventures in 1840 . The enemy were here ia considerable force , and had taken refuse in the strong fort of Poolajee . All attempt was made by
Lieutenant Fi zgerald to blow open tbe gate with power-bags , and storm the town . The first operation was unsuccessful , the leading man carrying the gun powder having been hilled on hi 3 way towards the gate . The fire from the walla was found so hot that our troops were compelled to retire—the enemy following them the whole way back to camp , a distance of seventy miles . The coast being thus clear , the Beloochees proceeded with fresh alacrity to renew their for&ys , and to strip the unprotected country round Shikapore of everything tnat could be carried away . "
TcRN-ODT and K 10 T& at PiUGUE . —The outbreak in Silesia seems to have roused the fac t ory-workers of other districts into activity . £ «•> n under the pa' -ernal government of the Austrian Emperor , who at any rate likes to see the bellies of his subjects well filled , that their heads may think the less ; even there similar occurrences took place . On the 18 « h of June , the calico printers of Messrs . Porges , Brothers , at Prague , tho capital of Bohemia , received notices of a reduction of their wages of from from fifty to a hundred per cent . Tney remonstrated with tl ^ eir employer , who , however , cut them short , sending for the police , and having oue of them arrested for using improper language . Iaimediately the whole of the men struck work , left the works ,
paraded tbe streets in procession , and at last returned to Messrs . Porges , where they commenced breaking the machinery and destroying every thing they could get at Having finished thi're , they proceeded to some other neighbouring factories and print works , where they broke the machinery also , luthe meantime the Archduke Stephen of Austria , Governor of the Kingdom , called the military out , and under the protection of his grenadiers , ventured to address the turn-outs in one of the public places , and to promise them to inquire into their grievances if they would go homo ; after having sent a deputation of six up to confer with him . They
coaxplied and dispersed ; but during the night they assembled agsin , again assailed the factories , and could be checked by the military only , who , provided with twelve bail-shot each man , advanced against them . A regiment of cuirassiers , stationed at Brandeis , was also sent for , to increase the garrison of tbe metropolis . At last the turn-outs , seeing tha display of martial power arrayed against them , marched in perfect military order alo ^ g the front of the regiment and then dispersed . No further destruction of property or other disturbance of tho peace occurred , bus the men continue out . —Correspondent .
