To the 'nub merits of tins eierfonnanee, as a most accurate compilation, the clerical professioc will readily sub. sinus ; mid theists' and public encomium of the Bishop of Lincolo has stamped it with its due value. Scarcely had he recovered limn a severe which his incessant apOicatioa had produced, and which obliged him to have recourse to the baths of St. Amend, in Flanders, when he projected the scheme of his Chareesed Gasetteer ; in the ex(!cll ticm of which he spout ten years of unwearied dili gence ; the sale of the fl.st edition sufficiently proved the fmournisle idea in which it wes regarded by the public; u,il he had just gone through the laboriou s office of editing a second edition, com puting 30,000 new articles., when, on the road to his isative town, Wok ligham, in Berkshire, he was arrested bramsdrlco illness which terminated fa tally before medical assistance could be procured.

How it had been so managed that the commotion!' in all ram; of this extensive comity had brizken out ou the same day, he had not been able to discover. They acre supposed to have arisen in consequence of a lint being thrown out of Parliament, which was intend ed to regulate the prices of wages; which he did not wonder at, as he did not consider it practicable or possible, as they must be regulated by the times and circumstances. The men had no doubt borne difficulty, and se had all ranks of in a, which were not possible to be avoided, iu consequence of the hardships of the tinter, occasioned by the cuuflict we were engaged in with an inveterate foe.

They were likewise charged with having stolen his pocket-book, containing from 61. to lot, iu ITank notes. Thomas Ashton deposed, that he was a manufac turer. at Heap ; that he paid his 'nen wages similar to other manufacturers ; about eleven o'clock mi Wednesday night, the Ist of June. he was alarmed when he was in bed, by a neighbour, . who told him that a mob► was approaching his bowie front an ad joining village; in consetinente of which he got up• with all possible speed, went down stairs, and met them at his gate; they asked hint to sign a paper, the obrct of which was to agree to a considerable ad vance in thtir wages.

Accordingly the prisoner Barlow, with live others, (sane. into his house ; Barlow produced a list of advance:l prsres ; for souse works it proposed en advance from 7 t to g 0 percent. and it was urged as au inducement for bins to sign it, that he being a principal maaufac. turvr in that neighbourhood, the others had said they would sign it if he del.

They then dragged him by the collar into the street, where he was knocked downlusd dragged a short distance on his back.. %Viten he got up he was .- - - pelted with' stones and bricks for about three quar ters of a mile ; from their violent conduct, be was fearful that hit life was in d.inger, and he signed their paper upon his knee in the public road. Af ter tins they were not satisned- r oeveral voices ealledl to the mob to abuse him, when he lost the Repo( his coat and his pocket-book, which contained se veral Bank Notes. Thomas flolroyd confirmed the above, and said that several women in the mob called out to kill his roaster, and he was thrown into a quick-set hedge, because he was known to be the servant of the prosecutor. William Collinge, who resides near the prosecu tor, said lie got up and observed the conduct of the mob ; they amounted to between 2 an 13o°. When the prosecutor asked six of them to come into his house, he, observing Barlow, and knowing hia to he a very quiet and peaceable snail, ropiest ed him to make one to go in. While they were in the house, those on the outside became impa tient for their return, and some of them endea voured to break open the gates and window-shut. tees.
