PRICE 7n. lia the course of the daffy Valentine informed Mr. Roe, that M`Neave, who was run over on Thursday night by a cart belonging to a master butcher of the name of Sego, had expired at the hospital from the injuries which he had received. lllarq Mears, the %vile of a gentleman's coach man, was brought up for re-examination, charged with robbing a poor old Woman of the name of dor ming, under the following distressing circumstances From the statement of the poor old worn an and her grandchild it appeared that about a fortnight since, on her returning home in the evening from her day f s labour, she met the prisoner in the street, crying most bitterly. She went up to her, and asked her what was the cause of her tears. Alice repeating her question, the prisoner said that she was in the greatest distress imaginable; that she had not a place W put her head in, nor a pound in the world; and the only prospect she had to prevent her being starved was to go on the town, but sooner than do that she would destroy herself. Pitying the unfor tunate woman's condition, she at once offered her a home ~rich her, and also her table. She appeared overjoyed at her kindness, and accepted the offer.— She took her home, and did all in her power to alle viate her distresses. For nearly a week she kept the prisoner, when, on her return home one evening she found the prisoner out. At first she thought she had gene out on an errand, but not seeing her return she suspected that all was not right, and on looking over her things she discovered that several articles had been taken out of a box. She made.in quiries after the prisoner, and at length discovered her. On the prisoner being taken into custody there was found on her Ids. in silver. Published this day, THE FAMILY LIBRARY, No. V., (being the First Volume of the HISTORY of the JEWS). cording to the report, contrary to the meaning and intention of the law. It is not surprising, therefore, that, as the fiscal states, " beggary and ruin are too often the consequence of aim com missary court suits." The remarks of the Commissioners on the office of Fiscal in Berbice, who, they suggest, should be paid by salary alone, are considered by the Demerara Editor as perfectly just. This officer, it appears, derives his appointment from the Governor, and holds it during his pleasure ; he receives a portion of all fines awarded by the Court of' Criminal Justice; for trespasses against the law of the land ; he also receives a fee of 12 guilders on the complaint of every slave, and another of 25 guilders for directing punishment, if the complaint be founded. The remarks of the Demerara writer are extremely proper on this head. "It is not easy to conceive a worse state of things, than that an officer, whose functions are so various and important, should be so exceedingly dependent, and that his emoluments should be derived from a source so utterly inconsistent with the original inten tion of such an office : for can there be a greater hardship, or any thing more apart from fairness and justice, than to compel a master to pay 12 guilders for every time a turbulent or capricious servant may take it into his head to lodge a complaint ? A whole gang may choose to go to the Fiscal ; their complaint is seen to be completely unfounded ; still, however, the estate must pay 12 guilders for each and all of them. We cordially execrate that system of in ternal policy which makes a public officer inte rested in the multiplication of complaints. It requires no small degree of conscientious feeling and moral integrity to prevent a man, with a miserable fixed salary, from encouraging those complaints which go so directly to enhance his emolument." Beatty was called to the Chair, it was determined to raise a subscription from the members of the pro; fession, for the pitrpost of having a marble bust of the late Lord Melville executed by one. Of the first artists, and placed in the museum of the Rdyal Naval Hospital at Hasfar, to mark the. strong sense of obligation which the corps must ever feel towards his Lordship, for the many and important benefits rendered to them by his Lordship when he filled the office of First Lord of the Admiralty.

By infornitition from Van Dienian's Land to the 28th March last, we find that considerable dissatis faction is expressed in the newspapers there, at the Governor having called upon all the land proprietors to pay up their quit-rents, in consequence of orders from home. This is termed a harsh measure, but upon what principle we cannot understand. It merely compels an individual to discharge his en gagements. This step is said to be one of the first towards obliging the Colony to pay its own ex pepces-n-qesideratim which Medluskisson plesige4 hithself hi the House of Commons he should endea vour to effect in all our settlements.

THE COURT JOURNAL. The whole impression of this new and popular Weekly Journal being now stamped, subscribers may receive and transmit it to their friends, Postage Free, throughout all parts of the kingdom. The occupations, engagements, and amusements of the higher classes of society had long required a record ; and they found it in the Court Journal. The fete champkre, the sumptuous banquet, the concert, the soiree, the ball, the public and private habits of royal and noble life, those habits which give the tone to manners throughout the em pire, were depicted with a freshness and accuracy hitherto unattempted. But something more was still required to realize the original idea of the publication. It was hitherto the Jour nal of an elevated but exclusive class; the purpose was to render it available to all classes, retaining its anecdote, pleasantry, and spirit of high life, but making it the vehicle of intelligence of every interesting kind ; the companion not only of the boudoir but of the breakfast table and the study,—a Journal in which not merely the woman of fashion might find the round of her engagements for the week brought gracefully before her eye; but the politician, the student, and the various orders of intelligent society might find the species of information suited to their pur poses respectively ; thus rendering the Court Journal a WEEKLY NEWSPAPER. of an improved and valuable nature. This desideratum has now, under the new arrangements, been attempted, and, it is hoped, accomplished, and the consequent success of the work has been complete. Tiie COURT JOURNAL is published every SATUR DAY MORNING, on a handsome stamped sheet of Six teen Quarto Pages, containing 48 columns, price 10d., and may consequently be received on Sunday in all parts of the country, postage free. Published for Henry Colburn, by W. Thomas, at the Office, 19, Catheriae-street, Strand. Orders are received by all Booksellers and Newsvenders throughout the Kingdom. N.B. Advertisements or orders sent from the country to the Office must be accompanied by a reference for pay ment in London. THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM OF DEMERARA AND BERBICE. The second Report of the Commissioners o f Inquiry into the administration of criminal and civil justice in the West Indies and South Ame rican colonies, which relates to the judicial sys tem of Demerara and Berbice, has been the sub ject of some remarks in the Guiana Chronicle, a Demerara paper, from whence it would appear that the suggestions of the Commissioners har monize extremely well with public opinion in that colony, though " persons of experience and professional knowledge" there entertain, as may be expected, opinions decidedly opposed to the theoretical reforms proposed in the Report. For example : the existing mode of taking evidence, under the old Dutch system, is by written inter rogations, whereby all the obvious advantages of a viva voce examination and cross-examination, suggested by the Commissioners, are totally lost. Nevertheless, the learned personages of most weight in those colonies, including the majo rity of the Court at Berbice, are opposed to this innovation, and consider that all the expence, delay, and inconvenience of the old system should be submitted to rather than the horrors of a change should be in curred. It is remarkable too, that the practice of taking written instead of parole evidence, is contrary, not only to reason but to law. There is an article in the rules for " managing the pro ceedings" of the commissary courts at Demerara, which declares that " no pleadings in writing shall be admitted in this court ;" which, by virtue of a false but convenient rendering from Dutch into English, has been made to declare the con trary. These commissary courts, it seems, arc great nuisances to the poor of the colony, for whose benefit they were expressly intended ; and the aforegoing rule is not the only one intro duced with a view of obviating their abuse which has been neglected. The practice of employing counsel and attornies, and of charging fees for them in costs, against the opposite party, is, ac• Other suggestions in the report, respecting the fees in the Colonial Secretary's office, and the office of the Advocate pro Deo, seem to be fully acquiesced in ; and upon the whole the re port, unflinching as it is, has evidently given entire satisfaction to the community. It is de scribed as a docunieiit of "great interest and va lue," and as containing " a mass of information of the utmost importance." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, AUG. B.—The Lord Cochrane transport, Lieutenant Jefferson ' agent, arriv e d fr om Ceylon on Tuesday, with Ordnance stores and in valids. She left Colombo on the 4th March, and the Cape of Good Hope on the 28th May. The following is an extract of a letter by this vessel,. dated Simon's Town, Cape of Good Hope, 26th May : ‘ A new Ordinance, on the subject of the Press, has just come out, which subjects an Editor and Proprietor, &c. if convicted of libel, for the first offence to a penalty of 300/. sterling,, and for the second, to banishment from the colony. You may believe this Ordinance is no popular one. We have a large naval squadron in Simon's Bay, no less than five in number; namely, his Majesty's ships Maid stone, Commodore Schomberg, Tweed, Comet, Falcon, and Espoir. The Falcon is on the point of sailing to St. Helena, to endeavour to fall in with a reported pirate. The Maidstone is to sail in ten days for the Mauritius. There is no merchant vessel here at present ; the Dutch brig Astrea, Capt. Brandlight, bound to Batavia, sailed from this port on the 24th. We have had, for some time back, very pleasant weather, and some tine refreshing rains : and there is every reason to believe that we shall have a fine crop. Beef and mutton have al ready much improved, although many thousands of cattle and sheep have died for want of grass, par ticularly in the new settlement of Albany. Sir Lowry Cole and family have been living at this place for some time past, and will remain until the middle of June. The Commodore gave up the Admiral's house to his Excellency, who has commenced mak ing a new road over Hottentot Holland Mountains, which were almost impassable, except by the waggons of the Dutch boor (i. e. farmer) which are drawn up, loaded, by from twenty to fifty oxen, nearly perpendicular; and when any part of the tackle gives way, it is usually the case that the greater part of the oxen are killed, and the waggon broke. The farmers in England have no idea how difficult it is to manage a farm in this colony. It is reported our Government has determined upon mak ing several other roads, if funds can be found to cover the expenses." The Badger, 10, Commander Rowley, arrived at Falmouth on Tuesday, with the mail, from Halifax, in eighteen days., The squadron was dispersed in various directions,—the Columbine was at Bermuda, Rose in the Bay of Fundy, Tyne and Manly at Newfoundland, and Hussar at Halifax. Mr. Eden, Midshipman of the Hussar, had lost his arm by the bursting of a fowling-piece. The Joseph Green transport, Lieut. Robinson, Agent, which took out troops from this and Ply mouth Garrison, arrived at Halifax on the sth July, and sailed on the 12th for the Bay of Fundy. Accounts have been received of the safe arrival of his Majesty's shipJasseur at the Isle of France, with specie, on the 25th of April. She found there the Tweed and Espoir. The Favourite, 18, Commander Harrison, sailed on Wednesday for the Mediterranean; and on the following day, the Athol, 28, Capt. Gordon, with the British Consul, for Tangiers, and thence to join the squadron on the coast of Africa. The Algerine, 10, Commander Talbot, destined for the South American station, was launched on Saturday from the Dock-yard at Chatham ; and on Wednesday the Thunder bomb, of upwards of 400 tons, was launched from the Dock-yard at Deptford. It is understood that the Jupiter, Naiad, and Dryad, will shortly be put in commission. The Jupiter in all probability will be substituted for the Barham. A more striking proof of the great inactivity which prevails in our naval departments cannot be ad duced, than the fact that there is not at this mo ment a vessel of war of any force whatever fitting out at this port—a circumstance almost unprece dented for many years. By an Order in Council of 1814, a stop was put to the promotion of Captains' Clerks to the rank of Pursers, until the number of Pursers should be re duced below the number of ships in the navy. With in these few days another Order in Council has been issued, which grants some alleviation to this deserv ing class of individuals; promotion is again to go on, provided it does not embrace more than ten in any one year. A Committee of Officers is ordered to assemble at the Admiralty, of which Sir Lawrence Halstead will be Chairman, to re-arrange the present Rigging Warrants, and other supplies of stores which by existing orders the men of war arc now obliged to receive on board. With the Chairman, Sir T. Hardy, Sir J. Brenton, Captains C. White, E. Brace, and J. Hayes will form the Board. At a late meeting of several Medical Officers of the Navy in London, on which occasion Dr. W. The Cephalus and Peruvian brigs, 18, a packet and cutter at this port, are ordered to be broken up, being found unserviceable. Iris expected the Hyacinth, 18, at this port, will be speedily brought forward for commission. Lieut. Richard Haably, 1811, has been appointed Chief Officer of the Coast Guard Station, Prussia Cove, near Penzance; and an interchange of crews of the same service, has lately been carried into effect between England and Ireland. It is also positively decided upon, that no person below the rank of a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, can be considered eligible to be Chief Officer of a Coast Guard Sta tion. Lieut. Thomas Daws (1809) is appointed to the charge of the Semaphore Telegraph, River Hill, Surrey. Lieut. William Griffin (1825) is appointed to his Majesty's ship Gloucester. Lieut. Hopton, of the Victory, is promoted to the rank of Commander. Previous to the Navy Board leaving this port, a general muster of the Ordinary took place, and we understand in future the officers of that. department will be considered qualified for superannuation on completing fifty-five years of age. The boys of the Ordinary are ordered to attend the school on board the San Josef. Captain Bowles, Comptroller-General of the Coast Guard, has been for some time, and is now, inspecting that service on the coast of England. Since the recent survey, the office of foreman of caulkers in this dock-yard has been abolished. IRISH LORD LIEUTENANTS. The public acts of the Lord Lieutenancy since the union have generally been confined to the execution of the orders of the Minister at home. These have been fluctuating and irre gular, and until of late, harsh and unpopular in their general outline. The Duke of Richmond being a bon vivant, and having of course com panionable qualities, by mixing generally in the society of Dublin, and familiarly with all, saved himself personally from any share of the odium which many of the public acts of his achnnistra tion deservedly obtained. The subsequent Go vernors, with the exception of one or two, were mere money-getting men. They say, in Dub lin, that Lord Talbot farmed the cows in the Phoenix Park, and let it out as a grazing ground. This is probably a calumny, but the general dif fusion of such a rumour indicates the popular opinion of his Excellency's system of pecuniary expenditure. Lord Wellesley was personally a showy man : he could not, however, keep a Court, for his affairs were embarrassed, and in the profits of the office he sought the means of their re demption. He was, nevertheless, individually liked, from his pleasing address, and all men respected his principles, and gave credit to his motives. Never, perhaps, in the long catalogue of the Lieutenancy was there a man for whom personal qualities did so much as for Lord Wellesley's successor, Lord Anglesea. A hasty phrase, in utterance of a soldier's threat, undoubtedly made him unpopular upon his arrival : he had scarcely touched the shores of Ireland, however, when, by his frank and generous manners, he concilate4 the people. He rode out among them, unattended by those trappings ; he crossed the Tipperary mountains among a peasantry pe culiarly distinguished for barbarous strife, and was every where received as a deliverer. He visited gentlemen's houses as an equal, and spe cially interdicted all expensive parade of form and ceremony for his reception ; and the people uni versally beheld in him a man who was viewing their condition with his own eyes, firmly dis couraging the baneful ascendancy of party, and determined to establish the dominion of the Government upon the sure basis of reason and justice. The popular confidence in the Marquis became at once unbounded ; his declarations, which were the emanations struck from a gene rous and chivalrous mind, by sudden contact with a state of society of which he was not be fore sufficiently informed, were hailed by an ar dent and enthusiastic people, and communicated through them with the heat and impetuosity of an electric shock. The gloom which the abrupt recall of such a man has shed upon the public feeling of Ireland still continues. It is, now that the feeling s o f f ac ti ous s t r if e i s on the wane , participated by all parties, who feel, that in losing the opportunity of holding a gay and gallatat Court, which would have attracted many of the Irish gentry b ac k to t h e i r coun t r y, and m a d e Dublin more the resort of foreigners who travel in this kingdom than it has been, the nation en--1 dues a heavy loss, and the people are bereft of one of the elements of social improvement. Ihsuccessor of Lord Anglesea is a noble- Man of high personal north ; but it is in vain to assert that he has the public qualities fit for the time and stctidn: Ireland is, and must b9 for some time, labouring th - idef a crisis which re quires the application of great firmness arid Judg ment. It is essential, under such circumstances, to have a Lord Lieutenant who will give per sonally a fond to toeiety, and appear at least to be occupied by his public duties, The bustle of personal action is indispensable for the popu larity of a Lord Lieutenant in such a country a 1 Ireland: The Duke of Richmond's punch drinking and racket‘playing, by bringing him cheerfully and familiarly into satiety, saved him personally from the stain of the bad niedt,ures of his government, their alternate violence and weak ness. Lord Anglesea was neither a punch drinker nor a racket-player, and yet he was the most popular Lord Lieutenant that Ireland ever had since the time of Lord -Fitzwilharn, by the plain and simple application of a manly and well-intentioned mind to the business of his office. Neither was he obliged to encounter much fatigue and labour in the process. He had only, to give the spur to his ordinarily active habits—to affbrd a prompt reception to those who sought audiences upon business—to attend the public balls, and gossip with the company— to appear on the roads and in the streets fami liarly accessible to every body, and always eager to see and judge occurrences, without waiting to have them communicated through the formal medium of a secretary. Any successor to such a man would have been disadvantageously placed for the moment ; but the Duke of Northumberland does not ap pear to see his situation. It is true he did not seek the office, and there is reason to believe he yielded a reluctant acceptance of it, to the com mands of his Sovereign. Still, the calm and silent mode in which an English gentleman con ducts estates, requiring so little of complicated management as those of his Grace, is not that by which the affairs of a mercurial people are to be conducted at a crisis when active means are necessary to give efficacy to the benevolent inten tions of Government. Nobody sees the Duke of Northumberland in Ireland, except seated against the back of a close chariot with the Duchess (who equally excludes herself,) drawn by six horses, with showy harness and outriders, and followed by another carriage and four horses, with some of the ladies of the Powis family, squired by that ancient Briton Sir Watkin Wynn. The Duke lives in state, but in private ; he mingles not with the people ; he has the character of an excellent private gentleman, and the Du chess that of an amiable lady ; but they either look down upon Irish society, or will not take the trouble of encouraging it. They do - not visit the gentry, probably in consideration of the trouble which their cavalcade would give, by crowding the stables of private houses with their horse,~, and swarming the place with troops of pampered servants; but why all this parade on all ordinary occasions ? and if it must be, why accompany it with so much real exclusion ? POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Harmer appeared upon the part of some of the most respectable Proctors of Doctors' Com mons to complain against the practice of some per sons who, it seems, act as touters or cads for the lower order of Proctors, who derive their livelihood from chance custom. Two of these cads were summoned to appear. Mr. Harmer stated that the conduct of the de fendants was productive of inconvenience to the public, as well as to the respectable part of the pro fession. They were in the habit of standing in Dean's-court, St. Paul's Church-yard, and touting, like the cads of a stage-coach, for custom, for the gentlemen of the profession, with whom they parti cipated in the profits of the passing business. If any respectable person turned towards Doctors' Commons, he was sure to have one of these gentry down upon him, brimful of information, and in seve ral instances they succeeded i❑ misdirecting people upon business, that is, in introducing them to Proc tors whom they did not intend in the first instance to employ. The LORD MAYOR said, that it reflected very great discredit upon► the Proctors who pursued such means of obtaining business, and must, on the whole, operate against them in their practice, if they had any. It was disgraceful to see a liberal profession touted for by cadgers—barkers to old clothes shops. —(A laugh.) Mr. Harmer said that the case against the de fendant who had obeyed the summons was not a strong one, and therefore he should not press it.— He should, however, certainly proceed against the absent defendant, who had touted with a vengeance. He (Mr. Harmer) had himself been touted to a con siderable distance, and he was, therefore, a very good judge of the extent of the annoyance to which people were subject from the Proctors' cads. He knew there were other branches of the profession of the law, the dignity of which sometimes was inade quately supported (laughter), but he had never known any thing like this mode of forcing custom. Mr. nobler thought that the best course for Mr. Harmer to adopt, was that of " information" against any future offenders. In this suggestion Mr. Harmer agreed, and he expressed the determination of the gentlemen by whom he had been engaged, to proceed in that manner against the cadger who had not paid the due attention to the summons. HIS LORDSHIP said that he hoped measures would be taken to put -down so disreputable a practice.— Now that such an outcry was raised in the other de partment of the law, it was to be hoped that some thing like respectability would be maintained in this. GUILDHALL. On Saturday William Brandon, a young man of very respectable appearance, was charged before Mr. Alderman ANSLEY with obtaining the sum of 3/. 'l6s. 6d. by , means of a forged order from Mr. Meeking, Holborn-hill. The prisoner was remanded until Tuesday next. 111 A RLBORO U Gil-STREET. On Saturday James Cummings, :who stood re manded on a charge of having attempted to murder his wife, was brought up for re-examination before Mr. DYER, jun. Mr. Lyons, the assistant apothecary to the parish, stated, that the female still continued in the most dangerous state, and that not the least symptom of recovery appeared. It was only by keeping her quiet, and preventing anything like exc►tement taking place, that her life had been protracted to the present time. _ _ - Mr. DYE R —D o y ou thi n k there is a chance of her creeehoevaer?ingmfrr.oLmyotnhse—lf I was to give an opinion I wounds which she has re- THAMES POLICE-OFFICE. THE LOVES OF THE ANGELS.—An old Irishman named Patrick Angel, was charged with beating Judith Angel, his wife, most unmercifully with ,a shoemaker's stirrup-leather, upon a certain portion of her person. Judith had one child in her arms, and two others hanging to her gown. She began—" An please your Worship, my husband Patrick, bad luck to him, came home Cother night, and becase I had Dennis Murphy in my room, and sure there was no harm in the world in it, Patrick ups with his fist and bate Dennis Murphy, and then, saving your presence, he gives it to me." Mr. BaoDErtH3—Gave you what ? Judith Faith, an sure I'm ashamed to tell the likes to a gentleman like you. An old Irishwoman explained the "gives it me," by describing, very inelegantly, a flogging on the 'ewer part of the back. Patrick Angel being called upon to give some ac count of the matter, commenced as follows : " Arrah, then, your Worship, didn't I come home after a hard day's work to my tay ? and sure enough who should I Lind upon the floor but that -- of a wife of mine, kissing Dennis Murphy as if the life was going out of her." ' Judith—Oh, you lying villain. Angel—Faith, then, the devil a word of a lie is it ; sure a husband wouldn't say the like if 'twasn't true, and I have got witnesses that will come to the fore to prove it. Mrs. Angel most vociferously denied the alleged criminality, and exclaimed, " Oh ! you ould vaga bond, the divil another day I'll be wid you—you ould cobbling rat." Mr:Angel—The devil another day I'll be wid you after treating me in that ere manner. The Magistrate called upon him to answer the charge of assault. Mr. Angel dropped his lower jaw, and put on that singularly horrible expression of countenance so peculiar to the lower order of the Irish, when dismayed or horror-stricken. He acknowledged committing the assault, but justified it on the ground . of the great provocation he had experienced. He " didn't deny but the infliction was severe." A witness was called on the part of the defend ant. She appeared in the person of a decent little English woman, and with considerable volubility she described the loves of Mr.• Dennis Murphy, the coal-whipper, and Mrs. Judith Angel, the cobbler's wife, and declared their conduct was " shocking to see—seeing as how they were both married and had families." Mrs. Angel was not abashed by the " damning evidence of her guilt," and the Magis trate held the defendant in his own recognizances to keep the peace, and told the " lady" that she went forth from that place a tainted and guilty woman. Thus end the loves of the Angel family. The Court of Chancery did not. commence business on Saturday morning till half-past eleven o'clock, being an hour and a half later than the usual time, in con sequence of the LORD CHANCELLOR being closeted with the Duke of WELLINGTON for upwards of an hour. There is at present at Tattershall an ass, be longing to Mr. ROBERT LILL, upwards of 36 years of age. Every day it goes to work, and appears not at all impaired in strength by age. The newspapers have lately teemed with stories of disaffection and insurrection in Ireland; to balance which, in some degree, we beg to revive a charac teristic anecdote of Hibernian loyalty :—" A true-hearted son of the sod, who had, by pushing hard, obtained the distinction of shaking bands with the Kixo on hie visit to Ireland, in a moment of elevation, held up his honoured manes, exclaiming,—' Luk there! that is the very right hand which the KING, God bless him, shuk ; and, by my soul, it is as chine there as ever ; for I have never washed it since ! !"'—Literary Gazette. Great discontent has within a short time been created among the inhabitants of the east end of the me tropolis, by the exclusion of the public from three of their accustomed and most favourite promenades—viz. the long wharf within the Tower, the terrace and principal square within the walls, and the promenade in front of the New Custom-house. No official reasons are given for those restrictions, but the statement which has gone abroad is, that no persons are to be permitted to walk on the wharf, in consequence of sonic persons have occasionally stolen bits of lead from the touch-holes of the cannon which are placed there, and which are under the care of sentinels, who, in general, suffer no one to approach them.— Observer. On Tuesday night, about ten o'clock, as Mr. J. M. SMITII, son of the proprietor of the Mersey Mills, in Heaton Norris, was returning home, he was attacked about half way between the Ledge-gate .and Reddish house, by a fellow who threw a quantity of oil of vitriol at his face, the greater portion of which Le received on his hat, though so much reached his face as to inflict the most serious injury. It was very dark at the time, and with so much celerity was the act perpetrated, that it is too much to be feared there is not sufficient identity of the cowardly assassin. The perpetration of the above diabo lical outrage has diffused a general feeling of alarm over the minds of the master-manufacturers here connected with the turn-out. A reward of 1001. is offered for the apprehension and conviction of the offender. —Stockport Advertiser of Friday.
