The populace ,hsve drawn up a paper, which they have called upon • the hour-doelers.to sign, engaging that they will sell 'arat 3a. per stone; and threatening them ittbey do not, to destroy their premises. I believe most et then have complied ; and there have been some hundred stones sold at that price this afternoon, in all parts of the town. Some dour-dealers have certainly lost this: 1 day hundreds of pounds, by their being obliged to sell at reduced prices. Lord Msvros made a speech 'to the populace, and told them they must endeavour to wait until the larveit was got In, at which they were much Infuriated. The mob threw several stones at his Lordship, but the military protected him. Some of them threatened to proceed to Wentworth House. I What seems most alarming is, that every night there are meetings of the mob in the vicinity of the town I trust, however, all will be settled peaceably. - It Is new ten o'clock at night, and the town seems tole. rably tranquil.
