The Iron Masters hams been obliged to suspend ,hr making of Iron; !Invite fur naces have been hitherto kept in btast—i•thot is. fuel has been regularly supplied to keep them% in a state ready for resuming work at a moment's notice. In the c * in time, the wages of the workmen have been reduced, and with i view to keep the men employed, an effort has been made to resume work on the re. duced scale. The men refused to work, and at. tempted, in some places, to Wow out the fumes:, as it is technically called, but which is in fact stopping the blast. This is always productive of great expense .and delay in the event of resuming work at the fur nace. Two men were killed, and several wounded, in attempting to compel the stopping of lid blast at one of the furnaces. Some of the particulars are stated in the following extract of a letter from Met. thyr-Tydvil, dated October 20 t 4e We are very busy in this town examining the rioters and committing them. All is quiet, and not a rioter to be seen; bat oot a man will work now, mob or no mob—soldiers or no soldiers t they will not even complete their month's notice. We hope they will presently see things in their proper light, and petition us to carry on the work at strait wages as we can afford. This is the point we wish to brine them to.—Two men were killed, and several wounded, of the rioters ; they were fired upon whilst taking away what is termed the blast, from one of the furnaces. Ten shillings is the smallest sum the lowest class of workmen were required to be reduced to per week; othCrs were to hive 15s. and some as high as a guinea. The proprietors Allow that the men require more in order to enable them and their families to live ; but it is not in their power to give more io the present depreciated state of the iron trade." It is admitted, by the Iron -masters, that the wages are inadequate, in many instances, to support the workmen and their families; but these low wages are offered not as an equivalent for the labour, but as beicg all that they can afford in the present state of the market—They have no alternative but either to reduce the wages or suspend their works entirely, in which event the men must be thrown entirely out of employment. It is to be hoped :hat the misled people, on due resection, will avert this evil, and this is the more to be hoped as all the people of importance and 1 1 consideration in the district, are labouring for their relief. In proof of this we copy the following mast important paragraph from the Gl.aucester Paper ; " At the Monmonthsl.ire Quarter Sessions, held , in the Town Hall;in Usk, on Monday the 14th day of October last, the impression made on tl.e minds • I of the Magistrates, composing a large and respec table Bench, by the present state of the county. was such; that a representation thereof to the CHAN. cettoa of the EXCUAQUER was agreed upon unani- Toasty, with the only exception of Lord GRAN ViLLE Seateescr. This reptesentation, which the Chair man, B. HALL, Esq. undertook to transmit to la , st-,1 don the next day, after describing the dreadful bute to which the county was reduced by the enormity or its taxes and rates, declarci it to be the opinion of the Magistrites of the county, in Session assembled, that the taxes now speedily becoming due cannot be col lected; and respettfulla, but earnestly, requests some remission of taxation. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the hi gistrates of Mlnrnouthsliire, for dors patiitnically s epping forward on behalf of their distressed tenants and neighbours, sad in support and preservation of the peace the county." It is impossible to read such a determination of s most respectable Bench of Magistrates of a whole county, without coming to the conclusion that the people must be in ii• state of the utmost distress. " The 'airs and rates now speedily becoming due, cannot be collected !"—" CANNOT BE COL LECTEDI"—If they cannot, they cannot. But the avowal speaks a volume, and shews that some im portant and radical remedy must be applied to the present evils. We could mention several things which Cinnot be done, The people, if measures art perseveredin for their relief. way be induced to bear much misery, but TIM' canstor tut of ilie eraviep of whore 1 Tokyo/ polo? berrsuaded chit money should be drawn from tliein" while they 'are starving. to be laid cot in the payment of sinecures and excessive salaries to rich families; THIS C.ANNOT understand, nor can any man of a sound mind comprehend, how their burthens can be lessened by levying taxes to pay the interest of debts whisk have already been bought up by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fond. We might goi on, bat oat aim is not to foment discontent, bat, if possible, to open the eyes of those, who have the chief direction of our affairs to the speediest way of affording relief to the emintry—zod we make our stand with the Sinking Touch as that which holds out the possibility of affording instant relief. —The Magistrates of the county of Monmouth, in recommendiug some remission of taxation, only show that thiy truly see the source of the pjesent distress ; but alas, aoarsial remedris impossible. If Monmouthshire is to be relieved and the same amount of taxes to be still collected, the load falling on others will soon prove that there also the melee onset he to/lee:AO—Grant these also a remission— Go on with . this system, and you grind those who' remain to powder.

The system is a disgrace to common sense, and it is high time that its foUy be exposed in its true colours. %%That ! toatinue to oppress the people at a moment of such Unexampled distress, collecting, unnecessarily, a sum of Slush, inilletas annually from their industry, and annihilating the reproductive powers of so large a sum of muey every year ! Take off tans to the amount of twelve millions a year till the •nation recover itself a little, and then let the operation of the Sinking Fund be resumed— if then thought advisable. This is a remedy instantly within the reach of the Nation. Continue the op. prefsion of the Sinking Fund and you are ruined I Along with this, reduce salaries. Should the public servants alone be exempted from retrenchment ? As to Sinecures—they are a fungus which should be completely eradicated from our systeraf. By the Sinking Fol, by. a reduction of salaries, by the eradication of sinecures, by a reduction of the army to a proper scale, taxes to the amount of twenty millions a year may be taken of. and health, vigour, and activity, be restored to our languishing country. COAV EXCHAMOt, OCTOIII4 23.—We had ; small supply of Wheat. fresh in this morning, from Suf. folk, which obtained Monday's prices ; but the sales were not so brisk as 00 that day.—The B airy trade was rather heavy, but prices remain as on Monday.
