MANCHESTEK .-Another Encroachmekt upon the Labouring Class . —Last week a scheme was introduced at one of the largest cotton mills in this town . A number of females were employed on single frames formerly , but now they have coupled them together , and thus compel ! - , d one woman 10 perform double work for the same money , and for every frame thu 3 altered a female had to be discharged . Tncse kft , finding that more work had been put upon them , determined to ask the master for
more money , who , by way of reply , aaked them how they could forshame thiak of such a thiog as expect eTen a sixpence . At anorher mill they have discovered a plan to clean under and about the spinning frames , thus doing away witn the scavengers . It is said that this has teea resorted to because under the late " Factory Act , " they were compelled to give them education . The result of the scheme beiDg brooght imo full operation , has been the cause of a large number of boys being times into the streets . Improvements are daily going on .
EDINBURGH . —London 1 Iaso > s—The slaters of £ tiinbur fe h have transmuted through their president , the sum ol £ 7 as a donation to tho masons on strike . HTJXiL . —The operative masons of Hull , lately in the employ of Messrs . Slyres and Wilson , have struck in delence of their rights . On the 6 uh of November , their wages were reduced to meet the shortness of the days ; and now they are wanted to work all the day-light there is , for three-quarters of a day , which i ? , at this time ef the year , a full day , according to ; he custom of the trade . The threequariers of a day would only be at the rate of four uays and a half per week , so , by such reduction of time , they would ODly have ] 8 * . per week , a reduction of six shillings per week in their weekly wages .
On Christmas Dat , at three o ' clock in the aftercoon , a lecture will be delivered at No . 8 , Church Side , Huii , on the character , person , and mission of the Lord Jesus Christ , and on the teachings and tendency of the Christian Religion , in its personal , social , and poiitical bearings , by the Rev . William Hill . HUDLEBSFEELD . —Mysterious Cask . —On Tuesday coining week , Sarah Kooley , a female in the service of Mr . Peter Trumble , painter , Buxton Road , was found in an alarming state of illness ; and alter being put to bed , a surgeon was sent for , to
whom the confessed that she had that morning been delivered of a child , which Bhe had left in the privy . Search was immediately made , but no trace of the body couid by any possibility be discovered . The affair coming to the knowledge of the police , Mr . Jonathan Leech went to take the young woman into custody , but finding her in such an exceedingly weak state , he , by the advice of the surgeon , deferred for a . short tiffie her apprehension . However , on Sonday morning her friends had the young woman conveyed away , and the authorities ire now at fault as to her place of concealment .
Robberies . —Very nntterons are the petty robberies that take place in thiB neighbourhood during the prevailing darkness of night , indeed it is cot so much to be wondered at , as regretted , seeing poverty spreads itself first around the dhttiet that ib eaid to bo the mother of crime . On Monday night last , seme person or persons broke into a whitesmith ' s shop of T . Turner , and took therefrom a large bunch of skeleton keys ; and last night , the cellar of Mr . Crowthers house , at Fixby , was entered , and large quantities of wine , spirits , and victuals of various kinds , was taken away . Considering the masses that are out of employ , and their desire to live 60 long as they can possibly obtain food , the greatest wonder is that there are bo few , which proves one ihiug in favour of the working classes , viz . that they have a greater desire to work than to rob .

BRADFORD . —Attempted Assassination . — On Thursday night , the 9 th instant , an attempt was made to shoot Messrs . C . and £ . Waud , worsted manufacturers , of Bradford , as they were leaving the mill in Portland-street , about six o ' clock . The party who fired the pistol stood within four yards of them : the ball only just missed the top of Mr . C . Wand ' s shoulder , and was picked up the next morning , having struck against the wall , and fallen down by the side of it . Nodne whateyer is known as to who is the guilty party . '
Alabm of Fire . —On Friday afternoon , about three o'clock , the ringing of the fire bell alarmed the inhabitants and the fair goers , and on the whereabouts being announced , an immense crowd hastened up Manningham-lane . The scene of the fire was on the premises of Mrs . Atkinson , widow of the late Mr . Atkin&on , bookseller , of this town , and situate in Spring-gardens . The origin of the fire is yet involved in mystery , for when discovered it was in the centre of a bed , in a chamber in which no fire had been , to Mrs . A . ' s knowledge , during the day . On the arrival of the Commissioners ' engine , some individuals were engaged in forcing the bed through ( be chamber windew into the garden below , and there did not appear at that moment any necessity
for its employment . Having , however , found water in the cistern , the firemen prepared for operation , and in a few minutes commenced throwing water in at the chamber window ; whilst this was going on , some individuals ascended the roof , and , under the impression that the fire was in the false roof or cockloft , began to pull off the slates , but it was discovered that there was no fire there , and the engine ceased to play . The smoke arising from the burning bed led to the idea that more fire existed than really did , and the bed being got rid off , the Bmoke cleared away . Mr . John Sugden , brother to Mrs . Atkinson , remained on the premises during the night , and felt satisfied that no fire existed in any part of che dwelling ; but what renders the circumstance the more
mysterious and singular , on Saturday morning a fire broke out again in the closet or wardrobe , where , during the night , no fire could be detected in the slightest degree . ThiB was speedily overcome ; but the acoompanying circumstances are yet not aocounted for . —During the previous evening nothing was missed as having been stolen or taken away but a silver watch ; but after the fire in the morning , it was discovered that some silk dresses and a long boa were also gone . The police have since investigated the premises , and some suspicious marks have been discovered , which suggests the supposition that some person had been concealed on the premises . Strange rumours are afloat , but beyond this nothing is certainly known .
IiEEDS . —Stealing Coals . —On Saturday last , a youth named Wiiliam Cenroy , was charged before the Borough Magistrates with having at various times , but particularly on the day previous , stolen a quantity of coals from the corves on the tram road at tae Leeds coal s . aith , the property of Mr . Brandling , of Middleton Hall . The offence was proved by two or three witnesses , who each saw the lad take the coals , and he was committed for trial . Damage . —On Saturday last , an old offender and poacher , named Emanuel Potts , was summoned to appear at the Court House , for having wilfully cut down and destroyed a young beech tree , growing in a plantation , the property of Christopher Beckett , Esq . The defendant did not appear to tho summons , and the case having beea proved , he was fined £ 5 , costs included ; in default of payment he will go for two months to Wakefield .
Committal . —We stated last week , that the shop of Mr . Cookson , plumber , &o ., of Chapeltown , had been robbed of a quantity of tools , brass taps , &o . Part of the property was during the week found at the shop of Mrs . Allen , in Marsh-lane , who said it Lad been sold to her by a young man whom she described , and who was subsequently apprehended by the police . His name is Jonn Craveit Fielder ; he was brought up at the Court-house , on Saturday , and committed for trial .
Embezzlement . —On Tuesday last , John Ctosbland , of Stanningley , was fined by the borough magistrates , at the Court House , £ 20 and costs , lor havisg been found in possession of a quantity of white warp stabbing , supposed to have been stolen from the premises of Messrs . Walsh and Paget , of Yeaeon Gill . In default of payment , he was committed to Wakefield for one month . The property was so disfigured as to destroy all chance of identity , though there is to doubt it was part of that stolen .
Robbeky . —On Tuesday afternoon , the dwelling house of Abraham Crowther , of Alwoodley , was entered by thieves , who stole a silver pint , cream jug , and six tea spoons , marked A . E . C ., two pairs of sugar tongs , and a table bdooh , not marked , five tea spoons , marked G . S . N ., and £ 2 5 s . in money . The robbery is supposed to have been committed by two navigators , who left the waterworks on Saturday night , and who have been lodging with Crowther for some time . WAKEFXSItD . —Stabbing Cask . —On Monday last , William Beaumont , of Nether Shitlington , labourer , was brought up at the Court House , Wakefield , before the Rev . E . H . Brooksbank , and J . F . Carr , Esq .. charged with cutting and stabbing John
Kay , of Middle Shitlington , carpenter , with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm . The prisoner had been remanded from the previous Monday , the prosecutor being at that time unable to appear agaiust him ; indeed , he was still in so feeble a state , that it was not without some difficulty and assistance , thit he was enabled to reach Wakefield , on Monday . Mr . Sykes appeared in support of the charge , and Mr . Wainwright attended ou the prisoner ' s behalf . Prosecutor stated that about ten o ' clock on the night of the 3 rd inst ., he had a scuffle with the prisoner near Thomas Wild ' s house ; they had quarrelled previously , and had had several scuffles ; they first quarrelled at Senior ' s publichouse . Witness had hold of the prisoner when near Wild ' s house , and he felt him draw something over his ( witness ) face , upon which he fell sick . They
had been turned out of Senior ' s house about an hour befor-- this , when they had a scuffle , in which witness lost his hat , and the prisoner left him seeking it ; they met again about an hour afterwards , near Wild ' s house , who is brother-in-law to witness , and where witness had gone to borrow a hat . The prisoner said " he'd make himself leather witness before he went home . " Witness said he did not want anything with him ; the prisoner then seized him , and they had two or three rounds ; in the last of these , witness got prisoner against Wila ' s house , and ho was then cut as before stated . The Magistrates taid it was a case that must go before a Jury , and the prisoner was accordingly committed to answer the charge at the ensuing York assizes . He was , however , admitted to bail , himself , in £ 100 , and two sureties in £ 50 each .
Sudden Deaths at the Wakefield Astlum . — On Friday last , an inquest was held at the Asylum , before T . Lee , Esq , on the body of George Hey , aged thirteen , who died in that place on the previous morning , from the effects of epileptic fits . Deceased was the son of Jamea Hey , of Bradford , pipe maker . Verdict accordingly . On the same day , another inquest was held b y Mr . Lee , at the Asylum , on view of the body of John Dickinson , who was found dead in bed , on Thursday morning . Deceased was a blacksmith by trade , and before he came to the AsyJam resided at Scrirenmorth , near Scarborough . On the examination of the body , by the surgeon , it was found that there was an extensive congestion ot the vessels of the brain , which was the cause of death . Verdict accordingly .
LI 7 EEFOOL .-Fire . —On Sunday morning , at three o clock , a fire was discovered in a warehouse , in Wild-street , belonging to Mr . Jones , London Road . The alarm waa the greater , in conseqaei ; ce of its being known that there was a quantity of blast-powder , deposited on the first floor . The floor was on £ re , and an attempt was made to persuade Mr . Hewitt , on his arrival with the fireengines , not to enter the street ; but that excellent officer , considering that the speedy suppression
of the fire was the grand point , drove on , and in a few minutes , succeeded in gaining a position secure from danger , in case of an explosion . Mr . Jones arrived in a lew minutes , and , at great personal risk , rushed to where the powder was deposited , and flung it into the street ( four casks ) . The fire was completely subdued in about an hour . It originated among some straw , the lower part of the building being used as a stable . Mx . Whitty , Mr . Maxwell , and other officials , were promptly oa the spot . —Liverpool Standard .

Since the last defeat , the Rector of the parish , the Rev . H . H . Norris , has been in indifferent health , and it is understood that recourse to renewed agitation is now had as much with * view to bis perfect restoration , as to the ordinary purposes for which a Church-rate is made . We defy Jonathan to beat this .
Trade of Dumbarton and Neighbourhood . — This ancient county town is suffering severely from the present depressed state of the shipping trade , upwards of two hundred carpenters and joiners being out of employment . But Dumbarton is not alone in this respect , Greenook and other ports on the Clyde presenting a similar decline in 6 hip- building . Tht > Dumbarton Crown Glass and Bottle Works , however , forms an exception , the proprietors proceeding steadily in the increase of their manufacture , thereby affording a portion of the population of the town a handsome remuneration for their labour . We have nothing favourable to note regarding the printing in the Vale of Lcven , as many hands still go idle . —Edinburgh Chronicle .
Lawyers and Painters . —A sign painter carried a bill to a lawyer onee for payment . The lawyer , after examining it , said , "Do you expect any painters will go to heaven if they make such charges as these 1 " I never heard of but one who went , '' said the painter , " and he behaved so bad , they determined to turn him out , but there being uo lawyer present to draw up a writ ot ejectment , he was allowed to remain . " Popular Signs . —It is curious to observe how very much popular names are repeated in signs . Thus there were stated to be in London some time sinceof course the exact number is always varyingthirteen Adams and Eves , eighteen Angels , thirtyeight Bells , sixty-fivo Coach and Horses , seventyeight Crowns , fifty-six Georges , ninety-one King ' s Arms , eighty-six Red Lions , &c . And it is the same with streets , there being said to be in the metropolis seventy-three John-streets , sixty-one George-streets , and so on with others .
Ratheb Old !—There is a circumstance stated in Mr . Penny ' s enumeration of the census of Perth , which , from the " singular oddity of the thing , " we beg to present to the notica of our readers , viz , that there are—Single men occupying their own houses—541 . Single women occupying their own houses—541 . Air— So sure a class was never seen So justly formed to meet by nature , " we would certainly advise these solitaires to " pair off" with all convenient speed 1
Police . —At Worship-street London , aboy , ten years of age , was charged with stealing a shoulder of bacon . Hi told a very piteous tale , which the Magistrate , Mr . Broughton , believed to be correct . ; His father , he said , bad died three years ago , and his mother about twelve months afterwards . His grandmother , who , until lately , gave him a scanty support , had been compelled to go into the Leytonstone workhouse . He had begged his way up to London , where he had procured bread by holding horses in the street , but not being able to gain a subsistence by the trade , he was compelled , from hunger , to steal . The magistrate sent him to the House of Correction , not for punishment , and expressed a hope that the boy would be admitted into the House of Refuge .
