Thb Fusxch Fobxificahoss—Iiis not in external fcrtficaUoiis only that the French Government is preparing to meet internal enemies . * If the Faubourg St .

guarded , it will certainly not be for want of , gu » rd-Eouse ? , barracks , small forts , and other ^ dvaneed ¦ works . \ Every day some new project of fortification Is devised for that ^ u _ ter . Nos satisfied with the formidable block-nonses on the Place de la Bastille , in the Rue de Montrenfl ^ at the Barriere du Trone , on the boulevards Morl&nd and Bourdon , the b&rxaek of the arsenal , and the castle of Yincennes , the Government has resolved oa making extensive additions to tbe barrack of the Celestins , which hasbeen considerably augmented during the last two years . The formidable works about to be added to the building will enable it to contain a garrison of 3 , 000 foot and horse Municipal Guards . This miliiary establishment will thus be ^ sonverted into a real citadel , being protected by a wall pierced with loopholes . It wiil be the first barrack of the kind constructed in Paris . "

well provided with ammunition and provisions . j The Journal des Debate says : —The Barcelonese Insurgents are not at all discouraged . They do not content themselves with standing on the defensive ; but since their assault npon the citadel , which failed , thev have raised a battery of mortars with the intent of bombarding it . Taua it is that the insurgents oL Barcelona , In their turn , threaten to have recourse to the terrible operation of bombardment .

Hbkbtt o ? the P _ ess!—There was agrcat tow in the Chamber of Deputies at its preliminary meeting to-day . The military here have lately taken the law into their own hands ; and when- an aztielb appears that they disapprove © f , they go in a body \ nd bully the newspaper people . Vesierd&y no less than fifty officers went to the office of the Tarantula , a satirical opposition paper , to oblige the editor to put in an absolute retractation of something he had raid , about the army . The editor not bang there when they went , they divided , themselves into parties often each , and kept watch the whole day , but apparently without any other success than that of alarming , the journalists , and obliging them to get their paper out in some nnosoal way . Bills stuck , on the walls announcing a new
Opposition paper , were torn down yesterday by- a number of officers and soldiers from the post-office j and it was this eiroamstance that was brought before the Chamber to-day . The Count de lasKavaz complained of the military taking the law into their own hands , . and gave notice of a motion on the subject a ^ soon as the house was constituted ; adding that liberty would not perish while there were deputies there . His remarks brought up Naxv _ z in a great passion , who said that there was a plan forming for discrediting the army , who were thdefendera of liberty * which would not perish while he was at the head of the troops . Some personal recrimination took place , and is 1 b rumoured that a duel is not unlikely to result from it .
Babcel 6 Kj _—The following is from a letter m a Preneh papers— We are a league and a half from Barcelona , and bear a sharp cannonade .

Whilst I am writing , two shells are burning in the air .. Some sailors who have come on board inform me that the insurgents do not allow any person to leave the town . They are said to be-3800 in number , but a great number are without muskets . On the other hand , however , they have abundance of artillery
and ammunition , and are not short of provisions . I do not know how . many troops -surround Barcelona , bni it is certain thai nearly aD-ihe villages at more than a league distant are witboct » single soldier , all being concentrated immediately round the city . _ he insurgents have melted down all the . old guns , to be conver ted into money , andthe ^ go on coining day and night . She troops are regularly paid . Barcelona has not suffered bo much as-sughthave been sapposed , as the ^ fire of Mon tjcich has been chiefly directed against ihe batteries -of . the enemy .

Tbs Frankfort Journal states , that tb * King of Bavaria had authorised subscriptions to be made throughont his kingdom for the benefit of the Germans-who had been expelled from Greece . £ What a pit ; bnt that theXiDgof Bavaria had the pleasure of authorising subscriptions for a few more of Mb beggarly countrymen .

The yellow fever is unusually fatal at vera Cruz , and all the Mexican and Yucatan ports . Usitxd Siates . —We have this week received the New York . Freeman ' s Journal , New York Weekly Sun , and New York Examiner ; the last a new journal started bj William L . Mackenzie . From these papers we give the following extracts : The Eluctioss—Tho elections for State officers have been held in Georgia , Maryland , Pennsylvania , and Uew Jersey .
In Georgia and Maryland the Whigs have been successful . In Pensylvania it is doubtful which party has the legislature . A majority of the Congressional representatives are certainty Democratic . In New Jersey , where the Whigs had the ascendancy , they have been competely overthrown , and Democracj is now triumphant . Instead of the Whigs having a majority , as they had the last session of their legislature , they have now only about one-third of the members elect . GoVEBStffi Joh . es , of Tenessee , had published his message to the Legislature of that state . In it ho depTtcaled the doctrine of repudiation , and strongly enforced the prompt meeting , on the part of the state , of all i : > engagements .
The New York Herald of the 4 th inst ., says" The mails this morning bring acccnntB of frost ' at Charlston . There is a great difference , however , in the * first-frest . ' The one in question is a white frost , the operation of which is to open the bolls , throw the cotton out to the sun , and thereby bring it to toataruy earlier . It is a hard or 'black frost ' -which stops the developement of the cotton , and stales it . This has not yet occurred .

LykchLawih Peknstlvakia , —Military called out . —We learn that in Butler , Pa ^ the citizens have been thrown into a state of intense excitement by the holding of several meetings in the county , for the purpose of organizing a force sufficient to remove by violence the Indian , Samuel Mohawk , now confined in Butler , for the murder of a family , and whose trial has been postponed by the Court for three months . The malcontents wanted to get him oat of prison , give him the semblance of a trial , and deliberately murder him by hangiBg 1 The reason a-signed by them for this course u that the people of the town desired the acquittal of the prisoner , of whose sanity at the time ol the murder much doubt exists in the publiomind . The Sheriff has ordered the captains of the various volunteer companies to be in readiness to march at a moment ' s warning ., to defend tbe prison , should the mob ba so reckless as to attempt carrying out their scheme .

Old age has grown young again over the chivalrous tale of our struggles , and prayed God that it might not descend into the grave till it saw tbe redemption of our country .
The Mitre a Nightcap . —The other Sunday , Henry ., Lord Bishop ot' Exeter , according to the Western Times " took his seat upon his throne , drew the curtains around him , and made » U snug for meditation . " Dr . Coleridge , of Thorverton , preaohed . At tho conclusion of the homily , the congregation , expecting the customary episcopal benediction , remained sitting . A breathless pause ensued . All eyes were turned towards the throne- Had anything happened to his Lordship ! The verger crossed owr , and timourously rapped with his mace . There was another pause , broken by—a snore ,, which proceeded from the episcopal snuggery . The officfal knocked again , louder ; the response was repeated , more sonorously . Another knock : a downright
whack : and up jumped tho Lord Bishop ; shook himself , and pronounced the blessing . The Western Times infers that the right tev , prolate was asleep . Now , whether this story is" a thing devised by the enemy ; " or not , we do not know . Nor , supposing it to be true , do we know which to blame the bishop , or the parson . Prelates are human ; narcotics will an > ot the nervous system : and even episcopal vigilance must yield to opium . Whether , therefore , Dr . Coleridge mesmerised Bishop Philpotts ; or whether a voluntary dismissal of ideas produced this effect ; or whether it was owing to a dovout abstraction of the mind from sublunary things , consummated in a holy trance , we are quite unable to Bay . The supposed circumstance- of a bishop ' s sleeping in church : to have been published as a piece of news ,
mu * t have been regarded as something extraordinary —we doubt if it is so . An episcopal snore in church certainly is an uncommon acoustic phenomenon ; but if prelates do not sleep in the church , certain questions that we would ask are not easily answerable . How came it that Christianity was unknown in the mines and factories 1 How was it that the extent ef destitution , metropolitan and provincial , has been but lately brought to light ? How happened it that the first appeal on behalf of the houseless sleepers in Hyde-park to public charity was made by tho Times ? Whence arose the sale of pnws and sittings ; How is it that the M superior claKsea" drive to church in their ( carnages , and leave their servants on the box outside' ! Verily , too many of their lordships must have been sleeping in the church . —Punch .
Hospitality . —Hospitals are some of the most admirable institutions of Christian philanthropy , and especially those which are established for tha relief of the sick and maimed . " They rise , like shelters in affliction ' s storm , And welcoming the pallid , tott ' ring form , They soften pain—arrest the parting breath , Aud bave the dufferer from untimely death . " There is one reflection , however , which is snre to rise on this subject , viz ., that sickness and suffering in their cure , are not so deserving of notice as they would be m their prevention . This latter desirable object has been gained in tho simple compound of Old Parr ; and the time , perhaps , is not far distant , wheH there will be little or no necessity for the institution of ** Hospitals .

Destructivb Fikks , —On Saturday nfght , shortly after twelve o ' clock , the police constable on duty disoovered a quantity of smoke issuing from some of tho windows of the premises No . 3 , Oxford Arms Passage , Warwick-lane , Now-lane , Newgate-street , in the occupation of Mr . Nasb , manufacturer of British plato . On the doors being forced , the whole of the lower part of the building was discovered in flames . The interior of Mr . Nash ' s premises was almost wholly destroyed , together with the furniture and the greater part of the valuable stock , estimated at nearly £ 3 . 000 , the amounf destroyed supposed to be worth £ i , 000 , the sum insured in the Sun Fire Office . Some damage was sustained to the roofs of No . 2 , ' adjoining ; of
the-BtablcB of the houses of Mr . Edward Sherman ; and of Mr . Matthews and Mr , Waight , meat salesmen , No . 11 , and No . 12 , Warwiok-lane , while the furniture was damaged by water and removal . Last evening , about seven o ' clock , a fire broke out on the premises known as the " Ostend' rabbit warehouse , Newcut , Lambeth . Within five minutes after its discovery the whole contents of the shop were in flames . : Information was quickly forwarded to the firemen while engaged at a fire which had taken place about an hour previously in some carpenters ' workshops at tho back of the Surrey theatre . Engines wero'brouaht into operation ; but notwithstanding Buoh timely assistance , before the fl ; imes could be subdued , the stock in the shop , as well as some household furniture of considerable value , were
entirely : destroyed . The Nottingham Review states , that the late Dt . Parry , of Bath , had at one tjme under his care two patients who had attempted to cut short or to ease a paroxysm of gout by plunging the afflicted foot into cold water . This gave instant relief to the pain , and in both instances the inflammation presently abated , but in both also palsy of one half of the body occurred iD a few hours afterwards . ? ' This terrible affliction with its train of eviis could not by the martyrs have been in the most remote degree contemplated . Cruel as the Bufferings are to those that endure this sad malady ^ oonsolation is derived from a knowledge tbat the improfempntB in medical science have led to the discovery of Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills , from the use of which the afflicted have ever found reilef .

A Steamee on Fire in thb Riveh . —Between the hours of five and Bixon Sunday morning , a fire broke out on board the AiUa Craig Bteam ehip , Capti Dawson commander , moored off the Leith and Berwick wharf , Irongate-staira , at the Tower . The steamer , which was of between . 200 and 300 tonB burden , arrired off : tbe wharf mentioned from Yarmouth on Sunday . afternoon , having a heavy cargo on board , consisting of several hundred sacks of flour , several tons of mustard , besides bales of silk , wool , cotton , and goods of every description . The fire was discovered ! by the Captain of the Princess Royal steamer , which was lying alongside , who percieved the smoke issuing through the deck . At the time the crew of the Ailsa Craig were fast asleep below ; they wore instantly alarmed , and the 'hatchway torn off to get at the fire , which was found to be of fearful extent—ibe whole of the cargo appearing to be in a blaze , j No sooner had the alarm been
raised than the brigade floating-engines were unmoored and conveyed to tho fire . After the engines had been got into operation , the branches were direoted into the hold , and torrents of water poured npon the burning ] cargo , which not having tbe desired effect , holes were cut in various parts of the deck so as to reach the fire , but even this was of little avail , the flames still raging , and with increased fury , for several hours . Several a tempts were made to get at the firo by firemen descending into the hold with the engine branch , but they were uaable to remain many seconds in consequence . of
tho oppressive heat and suffocatingffluvia that arose from the burning j mustard . The only chance remaining to save the ship was either to skuttle her or fill tbe hold with jwater . Already was there four feet of water , which had been pumped in by the floating-engines , and it was determined that they should continue playing until the entire of the cargo was flooded . This , ; although cot accomplished until near eleven o ' olook , extinguished the flames ; but the damage done in ! the meanwhile was very considerable , so much so , indeed , that the vessel will have to go into dock to repair . The loss , it is said will amount to £ 1 , 000 .
Another " Mammoth !"—A New Ysrk paper of the 25 th of August states , that last week some workmen in Scotch town , Orange county , New York , discovered the remains of a mammoth or fossil elephant . The head weighs over 4001 b ., the dimensions of which are as follows : —Length of tusk ? 4 feet 9 inches ; circumference of tusk at th * root , 22 inches ; lcngih of skull , including tusks , 7 feet 9 inches ; length between the' eyes , 2 feet across the cavity of the eye , 17 inches ; lengthwise cavvtyof the eye , 22 inches ; length of the principal grinder . 6 inches ; width -of principal j grinder , 3 £ inches ; length of under jaw between the Bookets , 2 feet ; ginh of ekull over the eyea , - inoluuing under jaw , 8 feet 5 inches . These bones were found embedded in the marl to the depth of from five to seven feet . This is the third mammoth found in Orange county .
The Mortality 6 e the Metrofdlis . — We regret to state that the weekly table of mortality scill presents a more distressing increase in the number of deaths above the average at this season . la the week ending October 21 no less than 1 , 100 persons died within the bills of mortality ; an increase of 198 upon the average of the last five autumns , aud 203 upon that of the Jast five years . It is in endemic , aud contagious diseases that the increased mortality is principally perceptible ; the deaths under this head numbering 271 , while the average
gives only 183 . Of diseases affecting the organs of respiration tbe returns of the week show an increase of 42 deaths , and of j those in which the digestion is concerned an increase also of 32 deaths . In fact , in no one instance oat of the many " ills which flesh is heir to" do the present returns show a decrease in the amount of mortality . The mean temperature fur ihe week has not been higher than 42 degrees , ten degrees lesstban that of the previous week or of the average during the corresponding weeks for thelast nine years . - "Times . \
Jesus Cubist versus Louis Philippe ! —The Re ' forme publishes the following paragraph : — " M . Hebert , a boot maker , living in Rue S ; . Louis , had placed in the interior of his shop a wooden figure of Christ , with all the instruments of the passion . , On the glass bell which covered the pious image , his customers read the following inscription , written in large letters . — 'He died for Jiavfng preached equality . ' M . Gromfier , commissary of police of tbe 8 th district , convinced , no doubt , that Christ , who said that the last thing on earth would be the first in heaven , had net preached in favour of equality , presented himself , without any previous summons , accompanied by two agents at the domicile of the bootmaker , ! tore off the inscription , and carried awav the seditious Christ . M . Herbert was
absent at the time , but learning on his return what had passed , he hastened to lodge a formal complaint in tho hands of the At-orney-General . Let us hope that this functionary will see that prompt and severe justice be done , and that , following the precept of the Gospel , Restore to Cnsar what belongs to Cs » 3 ar , ' he will order the figure of Christ and the inscription to be returned to M . Hebert . " Coeonbr ' s Inquest . —On Saturday an inquest was held at the Green Man Inn , Putnoy-heatb , before Mr . Carter , coronerffor Surrey , on view of the body of Mr . Richard Wills , aged 38 , a commercial traveller , who put a period to his existence on
Wednesday last , on Putney-heath , by discharging the contents of a pistol through his head , under circumstances of a very lamentable and determined nature . A pocket pistol of moderate size was found tightly clinched in his hand . The upper part of his mouth was much shattered : Some friends of the deceased spoke to his desponding state of mind for some months past . His relations were most respectable persons , residing at Taunton , in Somersetshire , and he was in very good circumstances . Mr . Shillito , surgeon , of Putney , ; said the bullet bad passed through the brain , lodging at tbe back of the skull . Death must have been instantaneous . The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary derangement . " .
Jack in a Fix . —A rather ludicrous circumstance took place a few days since . A party of seamen belonging to the Vanguard were returning stores preparatory to the paying off the ship , when one of them wagered that he would squeeze himself through the ring at the end of the main-yard by which the studding-yard is projected . All hands immediately dropped work to witness the interesting performance , and Jack having inserted his feet first , got the ring round his waist . Unfortunately , however , his shoulders were too broad , and his arms too lusty , to
permit him to pass entirely through the riug , and after , several unavailing attempts , he admitted that his fair proportions had defeated him . Jack , therefore , proceeded to " ibaok out" of it , but alas , his hips prevented him . { In this "fix ' he remained for botne time , and amidst shouts of laughter from his messmates , which were renewed again and ayaiu as he struggled and writhed to escape . Ultimately , however , a shipwright ; was sent for , and having removed the roller , Jack was released from this peculiar kind of " laying oat" on the yard .

THE CASE OF POISONING BY SULPHATE OF POTASS . CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT , MONDAY OCX . 3 ? . William Raynex , aged 25 , described in the calendae as an oilman , waa charged with the wilful murder Dt Mary , bis wife , by admini 8 texing to her excessive doses of Bulphato of potass , in consequence ! - of which 8 he died on the 28 th September ^ Mr . PaENDEKGAST conducted the prosecution , ' and Mr . Wilkins and Mr . W * t » E defended' the prisoner . Mr . Prendergast stated the facts of the case " which bave already been published , and called a nunU ' ber of mtiiesseaB in support of the charge , who were ably cross-examined by Mr Wllfcins . r
Mr . Wi LKitf s then addressed the jury for the defence , and commented severely oa the manner in which the prosecution had been conducted , and also upon tha medical evidence which had been given , by a man who possessed neither diploma nor license , and who bad s-ffdrad his feelings to be so far enliBted in tbe ease that he might be called tSe prosecuting doctor . He then put to the jury whether there waa any proof that tbe apoplexy o * which the deceased died bad been produced by the administration of the sulphate of potass . They had no evidence as to the woman ' s habits ; they had heard that she was predisposed to apoplexy ; they had beard tbat mental anxiety and that intemperate habits would proauce apoplexy , and yet no evidence bad been given as to tbe previous habits of ihe deceased . Snppose
sne had taken these medicines of her own accord , how cauld they find the prisoner guilty ? Medical men were frequently in the habit , where former parturitious ba i been attended with extreme danger , Of producing abortion . Bat in this case the woman was . not pregnant , and the probability was that she knew-it , and had most likely infoimed the prisoner go ; and if the medicine had been given to prevent conception , " t&at was no crime . Could they believe tbat the prisoner bad intended to kill his wife ! Whatman in th 6 kingdom could say that the probable result of ad- ' mistering two ounces of sulphate of potass would pro- dace death ? Under the circumstances , he submitted * thac it was impossible that tbe jury could convict the prisoner of the crime of murder . As to what Mr .
Pickering bad stated about tbe prisoner ' s dislike to children , he did not believe it . The policeman was present the whole time , and he had not heard it . The counsel for the pioaecation had not alluded to it ; he had not heard it Mr . Piofcertng , who h&cl been examined before the Coroner and the Magls strate , could not have forgotten it ; and yet ne had never mentioned it before . He did not believe it He wished he could have laid before the jury , from Borne of the witnesses for the prosecution , what bad taken place in tbe prison when the prisoner ' s child had an interview with aim . He wished they could have seen how tbat cnild had clang around him . That was the voice of nature , and nature never lied . Could they
believe the evidence of Mr . Pickering as to the cause ef death ? He tfid not pretend that he had any diploma or that he had undergone any examination , but ha asked them to believa * him as to the cause of death on tbe strength of his having for thirty years experimentalised on human existence . If they bad any doubt as to the cause of death they most acquit the prisoner . Law was stated to be the perfection of reasos , aad was it not ; moat unreasonable to pat the prisoner npon the . same footing as the midnight assassin . He had always been kind and attentive to his wife ; and whatever might be the result of this inquiry , he had , in consequence of her losa , already suffered more than it was ia the power of any human band to inflict npon him .
Several witnesses were called , who had known tha prisoner for some years ; all gave him the character of a ' very kind and humane man . They were crou-examined bj Mr . Prendetsast . Mr . Justice Wiohtman summed up , and said that if tbe jury sheuld be of opinion that the prisoner bad administered the drug to the deceased for the purpose of procuring abortion they must find him guilty , oven if they should be of opinion that he had no intention of killing her ; taat was if , ia their opinion , tke adminis tration of the sulphate of potass had been the cause of death . It was for them to say whether the . medical testimony was sufficient to satisfy them that the administration of the snlpcate of potass bad been the cause of death ; if the ; were not satisfied on that point , they mast acquit tbe prisoner .
The Jury then proceeded to deliberate on their verdict , and having retired tor three quarters of an hour , returned into Court with a verdict oi- ^ Not Guilty . The prisoner , who is a good-looking young man , mm dreseed in genteel mourning . He seemed deeply affected ( taring the whoie of the proceedings , and frequently shed tears .
CHARGE or CHILP MURDER . In the case ot Edward Dwyet , charged with murdering his infant child by dashing its head against a counter , Mr . Harry , on behalf of the prisoner , applied to have the trial postponed until next sessions , ia , consequence of the absence of several material witnesses for the defence , who coald depose as to the state of tha prisoner's mind . ...-.

London Corn Exchange , Monday , Oct . SpxHi—During the past week , the arrivals of all Grain np to our market , with the exception of those of Irish Oatn , of which upwards of 22 , 000 qrs were received , were on a very limited scale , and by no means in first-rate condition . The receipts of English Wheat were tolerabiy good , particularly from Essex and Cambridgeshire . The stands exhibited a fair ayerage number of samples , the best of which were taken at full prices ; indeed , in some instances , an advance of Is per qr wis obtained for the beat white descriptions . In the mid Jling and inferior kinds not
much business was doing , yet previous rates were supported . The demand for Foreign Wheat , was » slow , yet the currencies underwent no alteration . In bonded sorts nothing was doing . Malting Barley sold freely , at fully last week ' s prices ; but in grinding and distilling sorts next to nothing was doing . The Malt trade was , on the whole , dull , bat we have no change to notice in the value of thb article . Owing to the large arrival of Oats , the inquiry for them was slow , yet full prices were generally paid . Beans , Peas , and Flour , were held firmly at late rates .
London Smithfield Cattle Market , Monday , Oct . 30 th . —From our northern grazing districts , as well as from other parts of England , the arrival of Beasts were again extensive , and , for the most part , of middling quality . The unfavourable state of the weather far slaughtering , aud the large quantities of dead meat on sale ia Newgate and Leadenhail Markets , produced considerable heaviness in the demand for Beef ; indeed , for some hours , it was ia a state of complete stagnation , notwithstanding the attendance of butchers was numerous . A few of the very primest Scots found buyers , at prices about equal to those obtained on this day se ' nnight , or from 3 s 8 d to 3 = i lOd per 81 bs ; bno the general quotation of Beef declined qaite 2 d per 81 bs , and nearly 40 fr beasts were turned out unsold . The nambers of Sheep were not very great , yet they were more than
adequate to meet the wants of the dealers . The Mutton trado ruled excessively dull , and the currencies were quite 2 d per 81 bs beneath those realized last week . We scarcely ever recollect so dull an inquiry for Veal , the value of which , receded from 2 d to 4 d per 81 bs . Some small Pork sold freely , and other kinds of Pork slowly , at barely late rates . The imports of Foreign stocks , since our last , have been qaite unimportant , and we had not a single head on sale here to-day . The arrivals of Beast * from Lincolnshire , Leicestershire , and Northamptonshire , consisted of 2 , 600 short-horns ; from Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex , and Cambridgeshire , 150 Scots and homebreds ; froni Yorkshire , 90 runts ; from the Western and Midland Districts , 200 DavonB , Herefords , runts , &c . ; from other parts of England , 100 oi" various kinds ; from Scotland , 100 Soots : and from Ireland , 40 beasts .
Borough Hop Market . —The quantity of hops on Bhow here is still large , even for the time of year ; nevertheless the demand for them is firm , at prices fully equal to those obtained last week . Very little is doing in the duty , which is estimated at £ 130 , 000 , to £ 135 , 000 . Borough and Spitalfields . —There has been a fair average arrival of potatoes at the waterside since our last report . Good svund qualities sell freely J other kinds slowly , at our quotations . Wool " Markets . —The public sale 3 , which have been in progress since our last report , have been well attended by dealers . Oat of the 12 , 000 packages offered , about 8 , 000 have been disposed of at an advance of from Id to ljd per lb on the previous sale ' s rates . Privately , a very limited business is dGtoft jet the quotations are firmly supported . Very tew importationa have taken place from any quarter . -
_ rALLOw . —This market continues in a doll and inactive state . The trade are baying only to supply their immediate wants , and bat little ^ speculation ifl going on . The latest advices from St . Petersbnigh aje up to the 10 th inst ^ when tbe quantity shipped off was 111 , 690 casks , against P 5 . 4 IM to the s * m » dftte last yea * j and 118 , 630 in 1841 .

ASHTON-UNDER-IiINE . —Several of the millowners , to their praise be it said , bave given the list prices ; whilst others of them , up to the present , refuse to do so ; and oae firm in particular , in order to prevent their hands from getting that support which is indispensably necessary , to enable them successfully to struggle with them for the same rate of wages as many of the other masters are paying , have circulated a report that their men are not on strike for wages , but to compel them , the masters , to take into their employ a -man whom they discharged for spoiling his work . This is false . The
trnth is that the men are willing to go to their work , the moment the employers will give them the /«*/ price . We are happy to state that Mr . Wood , of Glossop , has ; given the power loom weavers in his employ an advance of one penny per piece this week . He wad paying one farthing per piece less than the other masters before . By this advance he is paying three farthings more ; we suppose to make amends for tbe wages his workpeople have suffered by working for less than their neighbours . Also the Droylsden masters have given an advance of threo farthings and a penny per piece , and an advance of one shilling per week to the card room hands in both of the above cases .
