France. The manufacturers of France
appears to have suffered severely in consequence of the late insurrection at Lyons. At Calais and Boulogne the net manufactories have suffered. The goods sent to Lyons have remained unsold, and the bills drawn in consequence have not been accepted. The manufactures, overloaded with goods, have ceased to employ their men, excepting, only, one for each machine, as necessary for kee

A few davs since, a child of Mr. E. Uv-
ther. in Greenfield, Mass. about thrccc years
old, was dist oveied in a well near the house.! into which it bad probably fallen by seizing the bucket, and carrying that down with it. When Mrs. Bvtlier discovered it, it was holding fast by the side of the bucket with its little hands, ami crying tor 'Bicther'." The mother ran toa neighbor's for assistance; but before she could return, a girl living in the house had raised the bucket with the child clinging to it the w hole way, and supporting its weight by the mere pow er of its arms and hands. After it w as safely landed, there wa considerable difficulty in disengaging its hands
from their convulsive grasp of the bucket.
The well was more than twenty feet deep,
with twelve tect ot water.

Steamboat Accident. The Louisville Ad

She was run into by the Emigrant, which struck her on the larboard side in the rear of the wheel house, carrying away her guards and the whole of that side of her main cabin.

In the -National Intelligencer's record of the proceedings of the House of Representatives on Saturday 14 we remark the following passage. "A lively and somewhat entertaing discus

Jarvis. in support of the appropriation, 'that the House, after all, was not furnished as it should be it was only a place of splendid miscry? "Mr. Ewing thought it very wrong thatthe People's House should be a place of splendid misery, or that those who inhabited it should
make the people miserable: such a state of
things ought not to continue: he hoped it would not. He did not understand that anv
new furniture was provided for the Kitchen:
lie thought it needed it, ar.d would be willing to increase the appropriation. "Mr. Schley finding that the article in question had been furnished, and that there was no money to pay for them, withdrew his mo
