Phistratus Caxton reeurnee in Jule- what lee had omitt, d in June— the thread of that exquhite narra tive, which in very many re,zpects promises to he Sir Bulvver Le ttoe's in - esfeqiiece. The style in which it is written reveals in its author the ripeness of intellectual meturity ueied with all the bloom and the freshness of a youth perennial in its character. The abounding ease is in itself matchless, and with this ease is combined a "finish" more delightful than that of the most studied elaboration. If we wished to make good the justice of our asertion by a single re ference, we should point at once unhesitatingly to that , portion of the present (the twenty second) instalment which unravels the mysterious entanglement of the incidents of the fiction—reveal ing through the pathetic history of Nora Avenel, the secret ties binding together the fortunes of Harley L'Et of minor a n d A u dl e y Egerton, fortunes in which a variety minor interests are involved, such as those at sr t of the villanous Baron Levu, and, u ltimately, (after years have eleped) of the Hazeldeans and the licelbc 'ecas. It proves, at length, that Leonard, in stead o f being the son of Harley L'Estrange , was the offspring of Audley Egerton by Nora, to whom th e Young statesman had been married under very pain ful, as well as impassioned, c ireutnstanci.s, A few additional chapters must now, unfortunately, bring to a conclusion that story which has for nearly two years been the chief among the charms of Blackwood. Before its termination we trust that the Tillany of Levy, as well as that of Randal, will be unmasked while Leonard is discovered by poor Audley before that sudden death which seems to be his inevitable destiny, while Helen is restored to the arms of her boy-love, while Violante is tranformed into the spouse of Harley, Lord L'Estrange. Other changes will have to be effected. Poor Frank azeldean must, we trust, be extricated betimes from his me,salliance with Beatrice de Negra Count Peschiera must be foiled in his infamous machina tions—Doctor Riccabocca must be restored to his Italian Marquisate—Dick Avenel must be ruined — Leonard Fairfield must be proved to be the author of the work so very frequently mentioned in the cours e of "My Novel "—Squire Hazledean must be relieved from his bewilderment and anguish of mind —,and a multiplicity of minor sorrows be al leviated by the master-hand of the most accomplished Man of letters of the age, before the fictitious history dn. is closed by the sou n d o f th e we ddi ng b e ll s at H aze l- Besides the continuation of Sir Bulwer Lytton's novel, the present number of Maga contains the first portion of a true story called "Katie Stewart."

The latter are designated (as the title of the paper) " The Celestials at Home and Abroad." There is likewise a very readable article about " Alphonso Karr," romantic as well as bio graphical. A slight but animated sketch of " Ame rican Politics" is preceded by an argument referring to " Our National Defences ;" while the whole num ber is closed by an article upon "The General Elec tion," from the tone of which it would appear that Blackwood looks forward with real anxiety, though, jof course, with affected confidence, to the probable ma ority of the newly-elected Parliament. ; Clover per loot& FRASER.

We have received Paris I and 11. of this tr , ,iw published monthly, price 61., and if the subsequent numbers be eustawed by similar characters and truthful. delineation, it stands a good chance of b - coming popular. The author, whoever he may be, is evidently acquainted with the subject he has taken in hand, and in exposing what we conceive he means by mercantile mysteries" will do real service to the public at large. The information to be gleaned of what is passing within the walls of the great estlb lishrnents which represent the commercial wealth of this country must prove useful to all classes, and; presented in the readable manner described, cannot fail to be extensively circulated. Old and young are likely to be interested in the progress of this publi cAion, since it not alone furnishes instructive lessons for both, but also appears destined to inculcate proper principles. One or two extracts at random wilt show the style and mould of the writer. The hero, Charles Brain, alluding to the receipt of his first week's salary when brought into mercantile life, says—. CLOSURE COMPANY. It has been our fortune to attend many convivial ex carsiens, but we do not remember ever to have been pceselit . at a more agree:_ible and inttresang ceremony thanithat which took place on Thursday last at South B-veland, in Zealand, when the first sod of th e Netherlands Land Enclosure Company was turned by Captain Melly, in the absence of the Dutch Diinieter of the Interior, who was prevented by certain matters of public importance from fulfilling the promise which he had given to the company of officiating on the cceasion. On the north-east side of the island of South Beve land, in Z aland, where - the land runs up in a narrow point towards Brabant, there is a large tract of alluvial apil,..overfii4ed by the Scheldt at high Water, but at other times left dry, a slimy tract of semifluid mud, while the eastern branch of the river contracts to a nar row channel, little more than a mud ditch, and which is unnavigable even for small boats at low water. Through this channel the difficult and precarious navigation of the Eastern Scheldt is carried on, but is frequently stopped altogether during winter. Tho embankment of this land,, and its reclamation from the sea, has fre quently been matter of speculation; and it it said that a society, : ferahe purpose-was about to be formed, under the auspices of Napoleon himself, but was stopped, with other projects of like -magnificence, by the fail of the Empire. Since then the project, though ofien talked of, has been allowed to remain in abeyance till in the course of the last year - his Majesty the King of Hol land made a concession to Mr. Dronkers; of Middle burg, of the right of reclaiming this large tract of land,. " I had now discovered the true worth of industrious habits. The emolument I derived was not large, but it was suffieient to prove the value of a principle. I was in a great degree independent of the world— working for my own bread. Never shall I forget the impression produced by the receipt of my first week's wages. No monareh's heart ever swelled wOh greater triumph at the achievement of his best victories, than did mine on the occasion of obtaining a few shillings, the produce of my own individual labour. I fancied as it were that a new current of life had passed through my frame. There was money staring me in the face, the result of active industry. Unacquainted as I was with the course of worldly affairs or their manifold intrica cies, the glittering silver in my hand was solid proof that I had at length solved one of the great problems in life. My feelings on the occasion can be more readily imagined than described. Multitudinous as they were, I remember my great concern was to rush into the pre sence of my mother to acquaint her with my success, and after running home at the top of my speed, my first ex clamation, before I had scarcely passed the threshold, was, Mother, mother, here is the money—my wages l' while before she could recover herself from her asto nishment at my eagerness to give her the amount, I threw it exultingly into her apron." Who, again, can help recognising in the following sketch the " unadorned" history of one of,those levia than firms which, after reaching the pinnacle of fortune, ultimately topple down, and find a last resting-place in the dark recesses of the courts •of Basinghall-street ? "The house of Crimple, Tadlow, and Crimple was, at the date at which I write, a mercantile firm of the highest repute. There was no gainsaying this fact, for its name was universally patent to the public in the majority of transactions connected with trade, Crimple Tadlow, and Crimple, from the nature of the pre mises where they carried on business, might be supposed to be almost antediluvian, the dark and dingy appear ance of their counting-house and warehouse greatly fa vouring this opinion; and many persons who so judged were not far wrong in their conjecture. The his tory of the establishment was the history of many similar firms engaged in the ramified branches of our commerce, which reckon in their growth the lapse of nearly a century. The elder Crimpl e , througn whose exertions, and by whose industrious and penurious habits, the foundation of the house was securely laid, used, it was dimly hinted, to feel a pride in recount ing the vicissitudes and struggles by which he had been enabled to realize his exaltation; but his name and credit having been fully established before his demise, those idle stories were now buried deeply in the breast of his f am ily, and were seldom, if ever, adverted to.

The wheel of fortune" was still in motion, the name of Crimple was hi g hly eulo gizsd, and the success of their operations received ge neral recognition. Christopher Crimple, though be could not legitimately aspire to the distinction of being one of the merchant princes of London—his special trade, that of produce- broker, preventing its assump tion—he, nevertheless, ranked in the first circles of the magnates with whom ho co-operated, and was treated with proportionate consideration. This was not in the least surprising, because the position of his resources, independently of his connexions, which through his marriage had been rendered aristocratic, was extremely serviceable in assisting many of these individuals in ad- ventures which their own capital could not support, and he accordingly secured supreme deference—a question of no mean importance to a man of his natural vanity. Now that he had attained the summit of his ambition, a union with a baronet's daughter, a family rising into notice, and almost unimaginable riches, ho was within himself a power, he imagined, little less than a demi god. The intervening years had not, however, roller by without leaving traces of their progre a. The bleached hair, the grey whisker, and deeply in dented cheek told that the path of the tall sedate gen tleman, who, with erect and measured gait, trod confi dently the walks on 'Change, and the other principal places of mercantile resort, bad not been unattended by care and anxiety. In the midst of the wearing process of fortune-making, agreeable if accomplished, but dis tasteful when accompanied by difficulties, he had ex perienced numerous trials, which, although they never compromised hi s p urse or person, were of a d escr i pt i on unyielding spirit. Notwith s t an di ng to create vexati on , and occasionally curb the domin a tion of his pro u d an d these drawbacks, which mainly related to his family ar rangements, h e was to the wor ld th e same inflexible haughty man th a t h a d partially ruled the destinies of trade for years, and wherever he went, or whatever he was engaged in, his sincerity was doubted and his mo tives were constantly impugned. The analysis of his character by those well acquainted with him showee that his plebeian birth was a rankling wound in his composition, which, despite his marriage and hi s studious inclination to cultivate closer ties w ithi n the circle of his wife's acquaintances, cou ld not be subdued, the knowledge of his father havin g risen from the humblest rank in life perpetually haunts ing him, and stepping in to mar the pleasure derived from his numerous projects for self-aggrandisement ane popularity. With the exception of his eldest son, whi constituted with himself the firm of Ciimple, Tadlow and Crimple, and who evinced an aptitude for his positiot, much in advance of his years, his children, wasteful and purseproud, possessed nothing to recommend thema sue were alone sought for their presumed wealth and the mercantile status enjoyed by their proe genitors. To have placed before th em , i n b o ld re li e f, t h e outline of their grand pere in his leathern:smalls, muffin cap, and platee sired to admit ; but badge, would have been the indication of an ancestry which would have brought the colour to their cheeks. and which they would not have, in all probability, de i:epute, and one which d. that such was a well tact was beyond authenticated- ooa ld readily, with a baronet's daugehntet"h if necessary, have established. Even the alliance not toned do wn thi s dis paragement of birth; f or although the sin was not in the actual circumstance, but rather in the wish to re pudiate it, the marriage, it was said, had been consum mated chiefly on the ground of the reputed wealth of the Crimples, and the advantages to be derived from the match by the poorer branches of the baronetage. In this latter respsct , however , the relati ves had been grievously disappointed, and discovering their unfortu nateri mistake in anticipa tin g that .Mr• Ch • atoph ar to their own sly endeavoured to bring into contempt the aristocracy of riches, when compared Crimple was to be moulded ac cordin g pre conceived notions, they sedulous l y Enthralled in this dis agreeable manner, the great firm with the aristocracy of birth. of Crimple, Tadlow, and Cri m pl e , as represented by Mr. Christopher Crim ple, went on i ts way re j o i c i ng —his external bearing that of the millionaire with unclouded prospects, while in ternally prevailed the canker that was slowly but surely "ling away his heart." amounting to 35,000 acres, for the term of ninety-nine years. The only, or at least the must important, condi.. don attached to the concession was, that as the reelatna- lion could only be accomplished by throwing a barrier across the channel at its narrowest part, and thus 'lamming up the navigation, which, precarious as it is, is now almost the only mode of communication between the towns on the eastern branch of the Scheldt and Ant , worp, &compensation should be given by constructing a canal across the island of South Beveland that should afford the means of navigation at all times of the tide. Armed with these powers, the concessionary imme diately set to work, and a company has been formed, consisting of English, Dutch, and Belgian shareholders and directors, who have undertaken to carry out the works necessary to accomplish the undertaking. Undertakings of this nature are by no means rare either in Holland or in this country. The important draining operations now going on in the neighbour hood of the Wash are the most recent instances; and as for Holland, the whole island of Beveland, to whose area the present works, when completed, will form So' large an addition, seems to have been almost wholly reclaimed, at one time or other, from the ra vages of the sea. The land is gradually rising all round the shores of the island; and of the portion which the company has undertaken to reclaim, it is stated that 7.000 acres are even now wholly dry, except at spring tides, and that a low sea-wall, or barrier, to protect it from these incursions, is all that is necessary to bring the soil into immediate operation. The cost of the whole works, including the construction of the barrier on one side and the canal on the other, is estimated at 201. per acre, and contractors have engaged to complete the works on that estimate. Of course a high profit is contemplated upon this expense, and it is sanguinely an ticipated that the land, when reclaimed, will sell for the sum of 501. or 601. per acre. With such encouraging prospects the company have determined to commence operations at once; but owing to the advanced period of the year they have, under the advice of their engineer, Sir John Rennie, determined only to enclose 4,000 acres for the present season, the embankment for which th e y expect to run up and to have the enclosed land under cultivation within a month from the present time. Ac cording to the terms of the concession, however, it w as necessary that the canal, which is looke d upon as a work of great public importance, should be commenced si multaneously with those other works that may be re garded as more especially for the private gain of the company, and the first sod of this canal was turned on Thursday. The ceremony, in which after considerable persuasion many of the ladies who were present assisted, was con eluded. The company now adjourned to the tent, where luncheon was prepared for them, to which about 140 sat down. Captain Polly occupied the chair, supported by M. Van de Butte, M. Van de Lek d e Cl ereq, M . Blusse, &c.; and of Englishmen—Sir John Rennie, Mr. George Rennie, Mr. James Hutton, accountant, Mr. Nicholls, secretary to the company, ase. Somewhat to the scandal of the English portion of the company, no place had been provided for the clergyman, or " d om i n i e ," as he is called, of the parish , who wandered ab ou t t h e atnhseter intosomeinquiries s apparently much out of his on the subject but! ,o le w m er ent p ; artof we in it was stated that it was not the fashion to invite clergy men 'on such occasions, and that altogether a clergyman was far from being held in such high respect in Hol land as a gentleman occupying the seine position would no in England. The clergyman, it must be added, was accompanied by a great portion of his flock, for the tent being quite open at one end the peasantry bad gathered round in large numbers, and stood re spectfully looking on, while the more f avoure d gues t s were consuming the viands. Their cleanly appear ance, ,respectful manners, and quiet orderly conduct, gained for them much favour in the eyes of the English tuests, some of whom wore afterwards at pains to con trast their behaviour with what might be expected from an English crowd under similar circumstances, though it seemed to be forgotten that no English crowd, on a like occasion, would have a party of military drawn up in rent of them to enforce the order as well as to enhance the pomp of the ceremony, ex was the case with the good peasantry or Kruningee. Tho feast being uver, Lulu Lee wine beginning freely to circulate (or which a liberal supply was handed by the Englishmen to their peasant friends standing round), several toasts were proposed. rho first of these was " his Majesty the King of Hol land," proposed by the Chairman, which was responded co by the meeting, the band of the regiment playing th e national air, " Wien Neerdlandsche bloed." M. VAN DE BUTTE then proposed " the Q ueen of England," in a speech of some length, and dilated on the long connexion that had existed between England and Holland, the alliance between the two countries having more than once changed the state of affairs in E urope . Tnis toast was also received with great enthusiasm, the band playing the English national anthem. " The King of the Belgians" was similarly proposed by M. VAN DE LEK DE CLERcQ• The CHAIRMAN then proposed "The Minister of the Interior, the States General, and the authorities of the province of Zsaland." Mons. Bnusse here read a letter from the Minister, expressing the deepest regret that an unforeseen call had, at the last moment, prevented his attendance at the ceremony, and stating the great interest he felt in the works undertaken by the compaoh and his readiness to afford them every assistance in his power. Mons. BACHENE, a member of the Upper Chamber of Holland, then replied on behalf of the States General. Referring to the undertaking which had brought them together, he said it was a gigantic enterprise, and pecu liarly appropriate to Holland. That country might be .aid to have been altogether conquered from the sea, ins] the object of the company wa s to add 35,000 acres more to these conquests; The scheme had been ex ,mined and approved of by e ngineers whose reputation was European; and he might truly say that the autho of Sir John Rennie and the other engineers who sad been employed in the survey, gave the convie• ion of a completely successful result to the labours of he company. The States General , he might mention, regarded the progress of these operations with the greatest interest, as tending to develop the national re sources—a task to which they were themselves zealously levoted. He concluded by pr o p osin g the development if industry generally, and the success of this undertak ing in particular. Mr. VAN DE BUTTE proposed " The Health of Sir John Rennie.and the other Engineers of the Comp any. .

I n t hi s, however, it has now b ec ome most completely s uccess f u l , and insures a correc tness and regularity w hi c h cannot be obtained by clocks, however . well constructed. We believe the first idea of working clocks by electricity is due to Mr. Alexander Bain, who first comnieuoo putting it in practice in 1838. His first attempt was 'to make a common clock transmit its time to other clocks at a distance, effected by the action of electro-magn e t s, w in ai w t h h iC e h ap h p e lic la ti s o p n e o rta clocks, so that no winding might be required, and the the etly electric power I t h o e work next o st singlestep common clock dispensed with altogether. This, in ; ° commercial point of view, was of great importance, Ba such a clock, e ither f or private houses or public build ings, could be used either singly or made the governor or parent clock to other dials in different parts of the building. The ordinary galvanic apparatus was found, however, neither uniform or lastingiving more tro u b le and expense th an t h e common clocks; t and in prosecut ing his experiments, Mr. Bain, in 1842, discovered that a plate of zinc and one of copper, buried. in the earth, gave a uniform and continuous force of sufficient power to work clocks of any size, from th e sma ll e st mantel time-piece to large church clocks. In the construction of an electric clock, the pendulum to the back board. The bob of the pendulum is rod is of wood and suspended to a metal bracket, fixed com posed of a reel of insulated copper wire, electro covering to improve its appearance, forming au are magnet in the usual manner. The ends of the wire carried up the rod, terminating in two suspension springs, which serve the double purpose of suspending the pen dulum, and conveying the current to and from the bob. Two brass tubes contain each a bar of magnetised steel, w ith a brass There is a and act as alternate attractors to the bob. break on the pendulum for letting on and cutting off the current, which acting on the bob, operates also oa clocks at distant places. The plates of zinc-and copp er are buried about 4 ft. underground, a n d 3 ft. apar t, and to them per fectly insulated copper w i res are so ld er ed. A regulat ing weight being attach e d to t h e pen d u lum to bring it to time, the apparatus is complete. For the motion on the dial plate, only two wh ee l s an d an en dless screw are re quired, besides the m i nute an d hour w heels; and the clock instead of moving the pendulum, b e ing on the con trary moved by it, a much smaller degree of stress and friction is the result. The pendulum once set in motion acts on the break; and the current being, as we have shown, alternately cut off and admitted, regular motion is obtained, which will continue for many years. In situations wh ere i t i s i nconvn ient to obtain the electric current f rom th e eart h the voltaic battery is resorted to ; b u t i n a l most ev ery case the first mode has proved th e eas i est , as well as the moat effective. Th e co s t o f i ts p l ates is a trifle, and it has been ascertained that they will retain their efficacy for years. The advantages of this application of electricity to another of our wants it is scarcely pos sible to estimate, as through the medium of auxiliary clocks, exact tim e may b e k ep t through . a whole neigh bourhood, or, in short, t o w herever wires can be laid down. In fact it i s now s h ow n to be possible that all the principal clocks in th e ki n gdom might be u n it e d t o keep time with one governing one, which, again, derives its moving power from the earth, without winding up or need of attendance of any kind from one year's end to another. Mr. Bain'a warehouse for these clocks is at 43, Old Bond-street; and we think au inspection of them is de serving the attention of the scientific. —Mining Journal. H TR e a l a L m d i , A m fr .

A LIONESS WORRYING HER OWN OFFSPRING.— Wombwell's menagerie, No. 3, was exhibited at Misterton on the evening of Saturday last, in a grass paddock near the river Trent, to a rather large number of old and young, who seemed vastly pleased to see " real live lions." Shortly before their arrival, while upon the road, owing to a parti tion not being properly fastened, a la rge li oness b ro k e i n t o the adjoining den, where two young cubs, her own progeny, about nine months old, were kept. and before the keepers could part them she nearly worried to death one of them, causing much fright and uproar amongst the beasts and birds. The cub is alive, and hopes are entertained that it may receyer.—Nottingham Journal. THE STOCKPORT RIOTS. The inquest on the body of Michael Moran, the you ng man killed early in the riotous proceedings on Tuesday evening, commenced on Thursday evening at the Court House, before Mr. Charles Hudson, coroner for the Stockport division of Cheshire, and a respectable jury. Two magistrates were present, and great numbers of the public, The CORONER opened the proceedings in an address to the jury, concluding in these words:—" Since this un happy occurrence I have felt it to be my duty to give what assistance I could to the local authorities in taking measures-for the preservation of the peace; and I think that I best consult the interests of justice by taking the course that I am about to explain to you, which I have resolved upon after very serious consideration, and it is this. To-day I propose to take evidence merely of the identity of,this person's body and the cause of his death; and then I propose to adjourn this inquiry for a sufficient time to allow excitement to subside, in order that we may more calmly, and perhaps with better means of in formation than we now possess, proceed with the loves tigajon of this case. Therefore, gentlemen, I shall only call bef ore you ev i dence as to these two points, and then I shall call upon you to enter into recognizances to appear to pro secute the inquiry on a future occasion." A card-room witness, James Fl ann i gan, of Bamforth-street, grinder, identified the body o f t h e d eceased as that of Michael Moran, the brother of witness's wife. Dr. Rayner, who made the post mortem examination, spoke thus as to the cause of death :—" On the right side of his head, beneath the wound, the skull was de pressed three-sixteenths of an inch, and a fracture ex extending und er the right ear through , tended from it five inches e x t ernally and six and a half hnabltd and into the ear. There was also a se cond fracturejrom the lowe r p ort i on of the first, about an inch o in d b e t w een the du ra mater and the brain. The effusion of blood on the brain ari s i ng f rom the frac turect blelonogdth. of the skull was the cause of death. I think the fracture was a cut with a hard instrument with a blunt edge; the other was not a eat, but more of the nature of a bruise." The Coroner at this stage of the proceedings adjourned the inquest to the 20th July. The following are some of the particulars of the damage done by the rioters on Tuesday evening When they had effected a violent entrance into the Catholic chapel, Edgeley, they broke down the whole of the pews, and destroyed the organ, worth 3001., and threw the greater portion of that instrument, as well as the timber arising from the destruction of the lower part of the chapel, into the street. Some portion of the gas fittings were torn down, while other portions were carefully unscrewed, and, with the organ piping, used as weapons for completing their diabolical work of de molition and destruction, commencing with the altar, the tabernacle of which was used for the depository of " the Host," the body alone, which was of iron, having resisted the force employed. The lock was forced, and some of the valuables used in the celebration of worship according to the rites of the R oma n C at h o li c b e li e f were broken up and carried away. The altar was fully dressed with six gold-washed candlesticks, valued at 301., and presented fo the Rev. Mr. Frith, as a testimonial, on his quitting the Granby-row mission, eight years ago. This, and a set of six other massive silver-plated candle sticks, which cost 201., met with a similar fate, the bottom of one of them having been thrown through the chamber window of the house of John Arthur, oppo site, and from the effects of which a child then asleep narrowly escaped being injured. Two large plaster figures, resting on pedestals, representing "St. Joseph" and " the Blessed Virgin," were broken to atoms. The pulpit was also destroyed, as well as an original painting of " the Holy Family," another representing " the Mira culous Draught of Fishes" and a small oval one of " the. Blessed Virgin," which latter, being an ancient produc tion, was looked upon by Mr. Frith as rare and valu able. Indeed, everything of value or for ornament r n e e n e d n i s u e m , b valued oat an a d t a l n o/. ,e elegant n t sanctuary brass about the altar met with a similar fate from the hands Cho srichth of the sacrilegious rioters, including a costly ante , usually suspended front of the altar. l A alma ll mpp th w e hee b icn o h o ee k ir s ; which communic a te s the had been taken f romlnpews and burnt. The vestry, the priest's house, was en tered, 14 new linen surpic and all damask silk vestments, cas tea and several old ones, former ote were torn up, were removed; a portion of and the remainder were burnt with open street, in front of the chap e l., r ed vest T ri h e e s Twropormerty t he . were plundered, and their contents destroy choice furniture, both in the dining room and fibrary, were thrown through the windows, and, with about 400 volumes of valuable works, and a sofa, were consigned to the flames, which had been blazing in front for a very considerable time. A bottle of port, one of sherry, and two of whiskey, were stolen, as well as an old baptismal register, portions of which were found strewed about the premises. The scene of destruction and demolition is fearful to contemplate; it may probably exceed 1,0001., the organ being valued at 3001., and a large oil picture of " the Crufixion," formerly in the collection of Mr. Well Blundell, of Ince, and placed in Mr. Frith's library, being estimated at 3001. All the banisters to the upper rooms were destroyed, the lobby windows demolished, the rooms plundered, and scarcely anything is left (in the chapel and vestries especially) to denote the articles of which they once formed an integral part. The mob on leaving Edgeley proceeded to the new Roman Catholic chapel of St. Michael's, in King-street East, Park, singing " Rule Britannia," " God save the Queen," and other national subjects. Like that in Edgeley, the mischief was general, hardly a vestige of its former character having been left unmutilated. The three tabernacles, and all the furniture incidental to the altar, were broken and strewed übout the place. The organ was likewise attacked, and the fragments pitched through the window. The now candlesticks were thrown down and broken into several pieces, while figures of Jesus, St. Peter, St. Patrick, and the Blessed Virgin, were completely destroyed. The chalice, valued at 7001., and presented to the chapel by some nobleman, tortunately escaped the vigilance of the rioters. While the work of demolition was proceeding, a mere handful of six men and boys proceeded to the house of the Rev. Robert Foster, the priest, in Mersey-street, and were about to attack it, but, having some doubts about the exact door, and owing to the dissuasive interference of Mr. Heginbotham, turtner violence was suspended. With the appearance of the military and the reading of the, Riot Act they had the effect of suppressing further pro ceedings for the night. STATE OF MANCHESTER.

Two gentlemen on the box with the driver were precipitated to the ground with great violence, the feet of one becoming entangled in the reins, and he was conse quently dragged for several yards until the reins broke. On being picked up he was found to have sustained severe lace rations about the face, and several wounds near the right temple, and was dreadfully bruised on various parts of the body. Mr. Pile, the other gentleman thrown from the box, received a frightful gash three inches in length across the forehead, and other injuries, from the effects of which he was rendered insensible fur some time. The driver was also badly hurt.
