BROUGHAM'S benevolent efforts to give the Poor the benefit of the funds originally destined for their education, are attended with the same oppose. lion that we read of in the operation of the Agrarian Laos in anci►•nt Rome. The historian says— " That snn►e Koolau lauds were, indeed, brought to the public account, but clandestinely usurped by private great moo ; and the attempt to pat the coup• mon people in possession of those unjustly withheld from them by the rich, was never made without great disturbances."

THEATRICAL ANECDOTE —ln the y e ar 1720, a part in a Farce, called The llatfpoy Officer, was well sustained by an actress eighty-five years of age, who had quitted the stage ever since the time of CHARLES the SECOND. The announcement was as follows,--" The part of Lady Richlove to be per. formed by Pro PRYER, who has not appeared upon the stage these fifty years." After the conclusion of the Piece, she danced a jig, with the agility of a young woman of 6,e-and-tweety. G RA ND SAILING MATCH.—The Silver C op and Cover, annually given by the Gentlemen Subscribers at Red-house, Battersea, was sailed for on Thursday evening by six Gentleman's sailing boats ; at a quar ter past tour o'clock, at a given signal from the Com- Sincloores vessel, they started from aleCktrieff.tlfidAP, to sail to Wandsworth, and back to the Red-house, «herr the mintier was to receive the Silver Cup and Cover. They alt kept at a moderate distance from ~bother, until they rounded the buoy moored off Wandsworth-meadow ; here the Waterloo, a fine sailing boat, took the lead, closely pushed by rbe Spitfire, and came into the Red.house at Lime's.* in that order, where the fortunate winner was presented with the prise. PUGILISM ExTRAORDINART.—Yesterday a rarOtan of gigantic stresogolt and stature, was punished with a severe drubbing, by a young gentleman in those re spects greatly his inferior. The gentleman was tem- Lig out of Chencery-lane into Fleet•street, in a gig &tato by a very spirited horse. The carman was fasslog at the time, and purposely drove the dray so *Snot only to injure the gig, but to endanger thesafety of the driver.

A Morning and Evening Popes. of Tuesday last, in giving to the Public my Statement, omitted my copy of Mr. Moore's Letter to my lamented father, under the idea, I presume, that it was a literal copy of the en, which appeared in the Papers alluded to the pre ceding day, transmitted by • person styling himself " An Old Subscriber." As the " Old Subscriber" most have procured the copy of Mr. Monte'd letter from that Gentleman himself, I should be glad to ascertain his motive: for giving it in so mutilated a state; fur, on comparing it with the original, I find there are not only sen tences tranaversed, but • hole paragraphs omitted, and others inserted, that are not in the original. This could not possibly have been done without Mr. Moore's privity ; and I wonder the Honourable Gen tleman has veututed to make public a garbled docu ment, notoriously altered and amended to serve s special purpose, while be must have been conscious the original was in my possession—a circumstance he could not have forgolion, since Mr. 11. Johnston, immediately after my father's decease, was commis sioned by Mr. Moore to sok ( o r sh e re t urn o f t h at letter ; a requsition which I did not think proper to comply with. In quoting a few instances of atutils. lions, omissions, and additions, 1 have taken no no tice of numerous others which appear less important; but I trost to . }our candour and justice, that a fair and colisps,oiosti insertion will be given to those I have selec(ed.

'~~ FPI 14• Tint interior improvements *ed decorations of this establishment, which have peso wiled jai° effect during the short recess, were last night submitted to the test of the full light used during• performance, and the inspection of a fern friends of the rioprietors, invited for the purpose. The chief alteration is in the fronts of the boxes, the prosceniums, and the ceiling, all of which are of a soft salmon eoloisr, which bar. monius admirably both with 'the deep crimson, the prevailing hue of the boars, and ildth the ornamental gilding displayed on its seance. Beyond this we have little further to remark, and the Theatre, to an ireco. rinus observer, will scarcely convey the impression of any thing novel in its interior. The drop-curtaie used last year is, we understand, withdrawn, and an.' other, before only its occasional use, exhibiting a Gre cian temple, with the statutes of the great dramatic poets, to be substituted. The Theatre 'opens on Mon. day neat, and, we are happy to observe, with a pro. miss at least of greater excellence iu every depart. meat of the histrionic art that' can be matched, taken collecctively, during the modern dramatic era. RIOTS IN MANCHESTER. M UtCntiTER, SZPV. town has been In a sad state of confusion to-day. In the forenoon nu merous bodies of the refractory Cotton Spinners, according to their daily cesium, assembled about the factory of Messrs. Gray sod Co. near Ancoat's-st feet, for the purpose of preventing any one going to work there. Whilst parading round the factory about noon, the Spinsters assert, that stones were thrown at them (rem the interior of the Mill. How far this assertion is tree, and whether it be not a report made by the Spinners to justify their proceeding., I can not ascertain. They, however, began to demolish the windows of the factory, and broke numbers of them, and endeavoured to force their way into the Mill, by 'breaking open the gates and lower win dows. The ;serious in the inside, who were armed, being alarmed for their own safety, as their lives, would be in great danger if the assailants succeeded in entering the Mill, fired upon them from the win does. Several of the mob wete severely wounded. The number is not known, but it is generally stated as being about six or seven. Four have been brought to the Infirmary, dangerously wounded : one of them mortally in the groin. Another, report says, died almost immediately. The mob was repulsed by this spirited conduct, and Messrs. Gray and Co. had time to send to the Magi strates for assistance, who speedily arrived with party of dragoon@ and infantry. The number of people then assembled was very great, probably about 10 or 12,0(X); some have estimated them at 30,000. The Riot Act was read, and after the ex piration of the hour, the military dispersed the mob. I have not heard of any one being kart by the sol diers io performing this duty. The aspect of affairs in this town and populous neighboathend daily becomes mote gloomy. TM principal part of the Spinners remain as obstinate as ever. In addition to the Spinners the Weavers have now "turned out," and they parade the streets in immense bodies of 4 or 5000 each. About 5000 were assembled in St. George's-fields, at the time of the attack upon Messrs. Gray and Co.'s Factory, but had no con. neCtion with that mob. They carried Mies with in: scriptions on them, that they would hate 7s. iv the pound advance in their wage.. 'rho Lancashire wee vers generally possess a mind fearless of the cons,• quences of any illegal acts they may be instigated to commit ; and if they unite with the Spinners, int. I I mense mischief may be committed by them. Already numbers of petty shopkeepers, who have dealt entirely with the working clime., are almost ruined. Landlords can get no rents, and dare out dist rain. Another acenent has the following statement " Serious disturbances have taken place among the refractory Cotton Spinners. On learning that the men were et work at the Alicaut Mills, they proceed ed there in a rest body, and insisted upon their de. dining; but the Proprietors of the mill barricadoed the vlace, and would not permit them to enter. The mob then commenced a general attack upon the pre mises, and threatened destruction to the whole esti. blishmeot. Finding them go determined, the party inside fired, and defended themselves also with stones, &c. Five of the rabble were wounded, one mortally. The military shortly after arrived, and the remainder ef the mob dispersed without further mischief." A DISGRACEYUL SCENG—Yviterday morning, young woman, apparently about 19, with as infant in her arms, curler a year old, both most respectably dressed, was observed is Westminster.road, near Astley's Theatre, its a state of estreme intoi cation. Seseral persons who saw her, and observed tie dan• ger in which the infant was from the incapabiity of the mother to protect it, endeavoured to take it from her. This, however, she resisted, abusing them for 1 their interference, and accusing them of wishing to steal her child. At length she staggered against • house, and the little innocent's head coming ist contact with the icon railing of the area, re• ceived so deep a cut that the blood Sowed pro. Neely. She still, however, resisted the ifforts of those whil surrounded her to take the infant I rom her. Mr. Brooks. of Anglesea-house, Parlisment.street, passing at the time, was attracted to the spot by the crowd, andfobserving the state of the woman and in. fast, forcibly took it from her, and delivered it to the care of a poor woman who keeps a fruit-stall pear the spot, with direc t i ons that it should betaken to the workhouse. The mother he gave in charge to a constable, till she should be in a state to give some ac. count of herself, and whence she came from. _ -4%. f • •„: GI OVUESTiot Assiti_S, SIFT.
