state adjourned on Saturday last, after a

5es?ion of eight weeks. In this time 12G

acts, 18 J Mt resolutions, and 8 memorials, were passed, as will be seen by the list published to-day. This, we may

venture to say, is doing public business

rapidly as to quantity; of the qualify we

know but little, and regret to say are

not likely to be better informed shortly.

The bill passed, regulating the printing and distributing ofthe laws and journals,

though better, (as we understand its

provision?,) than the old law, is still defi

cienl in an important part, viz: the time

tne public work is to be distributed. By this law, the secretary, auditor, &, treas-

urer of state are authorized to contract,

3 heretofore, with some printer to do (he work; in performing this duty, they are bound to respect the lowest bid, provided security be given for the accomplishment of the work by the first of May. Now we are bold to say, that neither economy nor the public interest

hasheen consulted in allowing so long a time for the execution of the public

woik; unless it can be proven that Law?, like rum, should have age to fit them fur

use. .We repeat that the laws and journals might as well he distributed by the Jirst of April, as first or middle ol May; and with but a small additional expense, in comparison to the advantages Cthe public would derive by having them at that early period.

The present amount of suffering seems great, er than on almost any former occasion. Particulars of privations are given ofthe most distressing character, and a long winter was yet before the nearly exhausted people. The average of tne earnings of 13,226 individuals in Hudderstield and its vicinity , had been ascertained and rep nr!ed to a public meeting their wages are equal only to 2 1 2 pence, or five cents per day. Many fam ilies were wholly destitute of food and fuel, and their clothing consisted only of miserable rags. The countenances of some shewed ,4that they were dying for want of food." Many were so feeble that they could scarcely attend to their work, &x. Great exertions were requi red to aff.rd some temporary relief. No doubt, the poverty of the op ratives in Yorkshire has been partly caused in the efforts of the manufacturers of cloths to break dozen the American manufacturers. They have caused much embarrassment and loss to us; but, with all their arts and all their grindings of the pooi mav fail of their generous purpose. The American market will surely be lost to them, unless most important changes in their own policy shall take place. A reform of the B itish church establishment is much talked of, and surely needed, ltisabuut the grandest imposition to which the poor are subjected. The demand lor cotton was yet large, butwi ha decline of 1 4dperlb. There has been a great overflow ofthe Nile, &. the whole ofthe growing crop in Egypt is sid to have been lost that many villages have been swept away, and that 30,000 persons have perished. The canal has been filled with mud, and merchandise, for the present, must pass by way of Rosetta. We have many scraps of intelligence from Turkey but no item of much importance. The affairs of the Greeks were not adjusted. The tiade of the Black sea was active, and vessels with the Greek flag were passing and repassing. Adrianople wa evacuated by the Russians on the 1 1th Nov. Many ofthe Turkish provinces in Europe and Asia appear in a disturbed state. The Russians may be called upon to preserve peace! The citadel at Navarin was struck by lightning in the night of the 1 8th Nov. A dreadful explosion followed 100 artillery men who lodged in it were the victims. A splendid service of plate has been presented to Mr. Maury, our late consul at Liverpool, by the merchants and other inhabitants of that place. Each piece is ornamented with our eagle and motto e pluribus unum. James Hensworth, of Garforlb, went down by a rope into a well which had been some time covered, after a pickaxe he fell; John, his brother, went down after him, and fell also; the father followed, and shared the same fate.

were urawo out with grappling irons;

then seized an axe, and deliberately chopped the old mn"s head off, cutting through the chin, so as to leave part of the jaw bone attached to the body. He then tore open his vest and shirt, and split him entirely open from his breast down; in which situation he left him, and started in pursuit of Mrs. Markham, who had crawled thro' a window and fled. She escaped, however, and rallied some neighbors, who pursued and caught the murderer; he is now lodged in our jail. Advocate.
