Satitedat , July 31 . WE have received information that a majority of the master calico block-printers attempted lately to reduce the wages of their hands . Successive reductions have c on for the last few years , to which the men have felt hound to submit . But in this last case they resisted , and successfully—the notice of a reduction being withdrawn by all except two of the employers .
It is worthy of notice that a mean attempt has been made by some master block-printers to force upon the men a declaration similar to that which the despotic masters of the Engineer Association devised and enforced against the working engineers . The blockprinters intend to resist , and energetic steps for that purpose have been taken . They are said to be unanimous , and if so must suceeed .

Dissention , it is said , has already broken out m the Tory camp . The bone of contention is of course Freetrade , which some of the more backward of the party , who have no interest in office , wish to see overturned ; and , excited by the glowing stories circulated by the Derbyite organs of Lord Derby ' s majority , they demand the instant reversal of the policy of the traitor Peel . "A very serious charge against a leading London Tractarian divine" writes the Daily News of today , " , we understand , yesterday the subject of an
investigation instituted by episcopal direction . The offence in question is alleged to have been committed by a reverend promoter of the system of the Confessionala system he holds to be consistent with the profession of Protestantism . It is to be desired that the fullest and fairest investigation of the affair should take place , since the gravest interests , both religious and moral , are at stake ; and we may express a sincere hope that the ecclesiastical authorities will do their duty not only with strict impartiality , but with the earnestness required on so important an occasion . "
It is said that the Queen and Prince Albert purpose resuming the coast cruise in a few days , and that the route will be eastwards .

The Moniteur of yesterday states that the resignation of Casabianca , Minister of State , is accepted . Turgot and Casabianca are made senators . A decree of the Prince Regent of Baden prolongs the regime of the state of siege on his territories to 1 st September . The Coblenz Gazette of the 26 th says : — " Gen . de Lamoriciere left this city yesterday for Mayence , where he intends to remain for some days * We learn that the departure of the general was not voluntary on his part /'
It appears that the Austrian Government are acting on the principle of the old Roman legend—cutting off the poppy-heads in the field ; trying to keep insurrection down by simultaneously arresting and carrying off to prison every patriot of any consequence against whom the police could find or invent a ground of suspicion . Arrests so numerous and successive are significant of no ordinary amount of suppressed patriotic enthusiasm among the Italian populations , and of the consciousness of the Austrians that their tenure of power is at the mercy of a volcano which may burst to-morrow .
In addition to the names of persons of note already mentioned in otuvcolnmns as having been arrested , we have since received the following : —At Mantua , the Archpriest of Barbosso ; at Milan , Antougino , Simonetta , Carta , Nani , Mangili , Griffini ; at Verona , Montanari and Murari ; at Modena , Montanari , an excaptain ; at Massa , Monari . The precise meaning of all these arrests , wherever the Austrian power extends in Italy—the precise clue that the Austrians are following out—cannot yet be ascertained . A special commission has , however , been appointed to try those arrested in Lornbardy ; at the head of which commission is General Benedeck , of Galician memory .
The following piece of intelligence will also show the animus of the Austrian government in Italy , their determination to overlook nothing , and to put the black stamp of official notice upon every act , of whatever kind , which can be construed to have a particle of patriotic meaning in it . The Chevalier Nava , a warm partisan of Austria , and connected with the Jesuits , is President of the Academy of the Fine Arts at Milan . Assisted by a small number of persons of his own way
of thinking , he has caused Count Strassoldo and Marshal Radetzky to be nominated honorary members of the said Academy . At the same time thero were nominated to the same honour , M . Vela , a distinguished sculptor , and M . Rossi , a painter . The two artists , on some pretext or other , declined tho honour of sitting in company with men playing such a part in the oppression of Italy . The Austrian government , however , has shown its sense of the true motive of the refusal .
and has conveyed to the sculptor Vela a peremptory order to leave Milan in throe hours , under pretext thut ho is not a Lombard . Vela was born in Italian Switzerland . Accounts from tho town of Kaliaoh , in Russian Poland , represent tho ravages of tho cholera as fearful . Added to tins thoro had boon a calamitous iiro on tho night of tho 18 th and 10 th inst ., which laid ono part of tho town in ashes . It was supposed from tho accounts given in tho Silesian Zeitwna , from Uronlau , that this calamity had
been tho act of on incendiary . Tho JowiBh Synagogue , which had stood for upwards of 600 years , had boon destroyed . Somo hundreds of Jowish families and a groat many Christians havo boon burnt out . According to somo accounts mentioned in tho Silesian papers , as many as 180 houses had been dostroyod by tho fire . Tho town of Kaliscb , according to the last census , contained about , 670 houses and 11 , 000 inhabitants , and is considered ono of tho principal places of Rutwian . Poland in point of mercantile opulonco and trade .

There were yesterday four fires in the metropolis ; two of them remarkable . The first occurred about a quarter-past four in the morning , in the premises of Mr . E . F . Prache , No . 20 , Sherrard-street , Golden-square . A female hving in ¦ the house , being subject to asthma , had been recommended by her medical attendant to smoke tobacco occasionally . Yesterday morning she took a lighted pipe into bed , and whilst smoking it she fell asleep , when the burning tobacco fell upon the bed , and set it on fire . The woman fortunately succeeded in escaping . _ The engines of the parish , and London Brigade attended with all promptitude , and the fire was extinguished , but not until considerable damage had been done . The owner of tho property was uninsured . The second was at Wapping-wall , and ended fatally . A young woman who was suffering from illness had been recommended to be rubbed over with
an embrocation consisting of various ingredients , one of which was spirit of turpentine . To mix the various articles together it was necessary to boil the whole , which was being done by Miss Lavick , a young woman aged 30 , when the mixture boiled over , when an immense sheet of flame shot forth from the grate , and rolling over the floor fired in succession sundry articles of furniture , and before the unfortunate creature could leave the room she became encircled in fire . The poor female having given two or three frantic screams , she rushed out of the kitchen with the flames mounting over her head . Several persons living in the house ran to the assistance of Miss Lavick , but
notwithstanding that they exerted themselves to the utmost , they were unable to get the fire extinguished until nearly every particle of wearing-apparel was consumed on her person , and her body so seriously burned that the flesh peeled off when touched . On Thursday evening a fatal accident , by which a young gentleman , the son of Mr . Cliffe , chemist , Bristol , lost his life , occurred at the Rocks , near the Round Point , in the river Avon . It appears that the young gentleman , who was about eighteen years of age , had , together with a younger brother , taken tea in one of the cottages at Leigh Woods , after which they went for a stroll along the banks of the river . On arriving near the Round Point , where the rocks are being blasted , with a view to the removal of lie incau
an impediment to the navigation of the river , - tiously attempted to climb them , and when at some height his foot slipped , and he was precipitated to tho bottom . He was picked up quite insensible , and conveyed to the Bristol Royal Infirmary , where , however , he shortly afterwards expired . , The Bath Chronicle reports a most distressing case oi death from fright . It appears that on Tuesday night , between twelve and one o ' clock , an attempt was made to break into the house of Mrs . Collins , of the Radford Brewery , near Timsbury . About two years ago one of Mrs . Collins ' s customers , living in Wales , informed her that he had overheard two men who were plotting to rob her house , and in consequence , she has ever since laboured under the apprehension of being surprised by burglars .
For the purpose of protection , therefore , a man-servant had slept in the house until within the last fortnig ht , during which his employment has compelled him to bo absent , and the only male inmate of tho house was a boy , employed as a page . On Tuesday night Mrs . Collins s coachman , after attending tho stables , went home as usual ; and soon after midnight Mrs . Collins and tho servant girl retired to rest . Mrs . Collins bad not , however , been in her bedroom many minutes , when she was startled by hearing a noise , apparently proceeding from tho window of tho pantry , at the back of tho house , and she called on tho boy , desiring him to ascertain tho cause of it- The boy having thrown up the window of a room immediately over tho pantry , discovered three men
endeavouring to foreo an entrance , for which purpose they had broken a pane of glass in the pantry window . As tho ecoundrols took no notieo of their discovery , tho lad obtained a gong , which had boon provided in tho contomplation of such an emergency , and beat it loudly to alarm tho neighbours , but in doing ho broke tho stick he was using . A female servant , however , got another , and ho beat away again ; but tho burglars were not driven away , though , being unable to effect an entrance through tho pantry , they wont round to tho front of tho houso to recommence operations . Hero one of them said , " That will do ; wo shall bo able to got in here now ; " and this expression being overheard by Mrs . Collins , she was ho overcome with terror that sho loll down in a stato of
insensibility . In tho meantime tho lad continued to strike tho gong , and in about twenty minutes Home of the neighbours , to whom Mrs . Collins' fears were known , eaine to tho house , but tho burglars had decamped , having probably boon alarmed by tho approach of assistance . ' 1 ho neighbours finding Mrs . Collins in tho pitiable condition described , obtained tho assistance of a surgeon , but before Iiih arrival tho unfortunate lady had expired . Tho Bcoundreln havo not been caught , but the fooling in the neighbourhood in such , that thoro in every probability of their wpeeily detection .
