The affair happened about 5 o'clock, and the idea must have entered their heads as they were proceeding to work. The young man who had charge of the store heard the noise, and, obtaining a pistol, opened the door and discharged it at the thieves, who had become alarmed and were retreating. They were caught afterwards by the watch. The jewelry stolen by them was contained in a small box, the contents being worth about $95.

P., from Stockport, it is observed-- "That every one seems impressed with the ne question, though a most essential one, appears to have been nearly overlooked. We need, says Mr. Smith, not only a large supply, and a cheap supply, but a supply of a pecultar kind and quality. Mr.Mr. Smith then classifies into three divisions the cotton required for the trade of Great Britain. These divisions are the long staple, the medium staple, and the short staple. For the purpose of Britthe second quality, they need and can consume an almost unlimited supply. 'In this fact,' says Mr. Smith, 'lies our real difficulty; for, while several quarters of the world supply the first sort, and and consume nine bags of this cotton for one bag of all other qualities put together."
