On entering tho harbour, the young de scendants of Trisiam Coffin, 21 in number, manned the ynrdi* in fine style. their workmen. There is, indceil, no reme dy for tho evil of fluctuation ill tho price of labour, but a fixed rate of wages ; nnd it bus been demonstrated by every' possible form of reasoning, a priori nnd a posteriori, by the light of theory titul the practical results of ex perience that. n fixed rate of wages would drive every manufacturer in the kingdom to bank ruptcy, uml bring slow but inevitable ruin on the artisan. The men who have been in combination against their mnsters for so long ti. period have begun to perceive their error ; and after the endurance of much self-inflicted suffering dtp manifesting symptoms cf returning indus try and reason, which their interested leaders are doing all in their power to arrest.

Preparations Jur the Russian Retreat.— \Vo have no late advices from the late theatre of war; but on comparing tho English with the Frond) accounts received yesterday, we believe that tho treaty of peace had not only been ratified, (on the 20ih of September,) hv Ihe .Sultan,hut its conditions were already iii a course of operation; tho Turkish troops were evacuating Giurgcvo, proparitory to the occupation of that fortress by tho Russiuns.” “ We learn also, (says tho London Moriimg Post of Oct. 2ftd,) and that with surprise, that so early a period as the 28th of October is fixed for the payment of tho first portion of the cnmmereial indemnity, and consequently that, the withdrawal ofthe Russian army will then commence. We entertain but little doubt that the money necessary to free Rou- mclia und tho Balkan from the invading force will he provided without delay, if not without dillicuky. As to-the Principalities, tho evacu ation ot a territory over which the Fortu has lost by the terms ofthe treaty all tho authori ty upon which a despotic power would set value, iu another consideration, and one not likely to stimulate t\»c Ottoman government to any great sacrifices. Tho assertion that the Uusuiuii garrison arc to hold Bourgas and Sizebulj for a year after tho payment of tho indemnity, is so decidedly at variance with tho letter of the treaty, that it must cither he untrue or it is the result of subsequent nego- ciut ion, by which the occupation of those for tresses is to ho taken in lieu of a certain por tion ofthe poculinry payment; What tho ob ject. of. Russia would bo in such a. Teton- tion, it is not very easy fp rcconcilo with the disinterestedness of her futuro designs.” The brig Francis, of New York, on enter ing Cadiz after it was declared a free port, was charged three hundred dollars, tonnage duty, &c.; at Gibraltar the-samo acconitnoda- tion might bo obtained for about seven dol lars.
