Joseph Swan, a journeyman hatter, *hose aliotra is at the Common Gate, in this town ; and who, we are. informed, works four days in the week, by his 16bour earns twenty-eight shillingi in that period, and devotes the remaining two days to the good Cause of Reform, by vending pamphlets for \Vroe, of Manchester, and other democratical publishers in London. BIRCH, THE CON TABLE. The following is the report of the Surgeon who attends Birch, the Stockport constable : STOCKPORT, AUG. 6.—1 v'is►ted Birch, the constable, by order of General Byng, this morn ing, and I am happy to have it in my power to give the following favourable account of his health, in connection with the wound be receiv ed on Friday night, the 23d tilt.:—` I found bins sitting op in bed, -supported by pillows, and in good spirits ; breathes with great ease, and is free from fever at all times ; finds no pain in any part of his body, except from the external sore,' which discharges less than it did on my last visit, and healthy granulations appear on the edges of the wound, which now begins to heal. He is al lowed no animal loud." I'M DISTURBED DISTRICTS, /cc. MANCHESTER, Atm 7. On Monday evening a man employed by our Police in posting Proclamations about the neigh bourhood of the New Cross, and protected by a constable, was assaulted whilst doing his duty in a steady manner, by a numerous assemblage of persons. The l'eice-oilicer seized brie of them, but he was at once rescued by the mob, who beat the bill-poster, and the constable, and obliged them to take — retuge iit the Crown and Kettle Inn, to save their lives. A messenger was dis- patched to .the .Police-of ace with information, and for assistance. The lioroughreeve, the Con stable, the Deputy-Constable, and seven or eight assistants, immediately *stile to `the spot ; the mob, :about .two thousand persons, opened a passage for them through their centre towards the Crown and Kettle, but closed in upon them by common consent, and shoutug, " Now for it, 1100." commenced a furious attack upon,them with large paving -stones, which came in tre mendous showers. These 114;14 respectable and meritorious public officers were in con sequence obliged to fly to save their lives, which were in imminent danger. •Though severely struck ,by large stones, they fortunately incurred no serious injury. The men first attacked did net so escape ; one of them received a severe contusion on the -eye, and ' the other was mach hurt. A company of the 88th regiment, sta tioned in King-street barracks, under the corn-. maid of Colonel M•Gregor, was then marched by .its Officer to the New Cross, attended by tiie civil officers, and dispersed the multitude. On Tues day night these refractory persons assembled again, anti a breach of the peace occurred, in an attack with stones upon two Gentlemen who were mere passengers. lint on Wednesday evening two Po lice-officers who were passing on their duty were assaulted in the same outrageous way, pursued, stoned, and obliged to take shelter in a house, the windows of which were shortly demolished by shoerers of great stones, which had been pie viously collected in heaps by these ruffians, to be ready for use. From this house the two men ul timately.eseaped with safety. We do not recol lect an instance at any time, even at the most turbulent period, when the Boroughreeve and Constables have met with such indecent and out rageous conduct towards ,themselves personally when on the duty of the public, and we trust no repetition of it will occur..,- Should this;-how ever, be the case, the inhabitants will certainly expect that they be protected by such farther means as the necessity of live ease - may demand. The NO- oss district 'i at present an unsafe thoroughfare, and the town cannot be thus me naced with impunity. All proclamations and no tices posted up in that neighbourhood are as re igalarly torn down, Or covered with mud, so as t o be rendered of no use to the' public,. This is a serious offence.—(Manchester Chronicle.) Manchester—Saturday Evening. The Borpughreeve has declined calling the Meeting, 'according to the amended Requisition, inconsequence of which the Requisitionists have published the following Notice, calling a Meeting, on their own responsibility; on the lckth'inst A Requisition having been .presented to.the Boroughreeve and Constables of Manchester, 'signed by above seven hundred inhabitant House holders in a few hours, requesting them"to call a Public Meeting To consider the propriety of adopting the most legal and effectual means ,of obtaining a Reform in the Commons 'of 'Parliament,' and they having declined to call .such Meeting, therefore the undersigned Requisitionists give notice, that A Public Meeting will be held,no the area, near St. Peter's Church, for the above-ntentioned •purpose, on Monday, the 16th instant—the Chair to be taken by If.

Manchester, August 6,1819." A grand review of the troops stationed here andin the ncighbourhood, took place yesterday, at it short distance from town. The number of horse end foot assembled could not be less than between two and three thonsand, The spectacle attracted a multitude of gazers, among whom Mr. limit, with two friends, all mounted on horse back, were conspicuous. Several Cambric Manufacturers have given their Weavers an advance, chiefly on account of their sacrificing neighbours having walked the plank—or, in more apt terms, quitted ihe stage. Good sixty-reed eambrics have been sold for many weeks at 245. but consiikrable sales have been effected at 265. this week. Low stout calicoes continue in fair demand, and are easy sales at 3d. advance, which makes an average in the last three weeks' prices of 15d. to 18,1. per piece. Second and third seven-fourth calicoes full 181. higher within the last four weeks. Fostians have fetched a penny to three half-pence per pound on last week's prices, and are very brisk sales at the ad vance. Various other descriptions of goods caf e:dated for the autumn trade Ll'e a little improved, say 21 to per cent. on prices obtained the se cond Tuesday in July. A great deal, in obtain ing an advance, depends on stocks suitable for immediate .demand. MACCLESFIELD REFORMERS. The Macclesfield Courier gives the following bio graphical sketches of the gentlemen who speecltifird , in that town of Saturday week last. The private history of great men is always - valuable : Robert Swindells, by trade a cobler, who was some time ago committed by our Nlngistrates for having in his possession and vending sedicions pamplatts.

At a numerous Meeting of the Reformers, hell in this town on Tuesday evening last, the follow ing Resolutioni were unanimously agreed to : Deeply regretting the present degraded condi tion ot'our country, and the mainfold grievances and wrongs to which it has been subjected, we, in common with a vast majority of our fellow countrymen, consider it our duty to endeavour, by all the means, in our power, to emancipate our selves from the tfisgraceful bondage of a borough " Mongering oligarchy. And considering the best and only way to obtain so desirable an object is, by effecting as general a union as possible through out the country. Resolved, I. That we do forthwith form our selves into a Society ; and which society do assume the name of the Birmingham Union Society. 2. That the following gentlemen be nominated and requested to act as a Committee, with power to add to their numbers, to carry into effect the object of. the present meeting :—Messrs. Whitworth, Rayg, Allin, Hale, Bundler, Russel, Price, Bellingham, Ellis, Brown, Scott, E. Tit ley, Brundis, Leicken, and Morgan. That the above Committee be empowered to form and arrange a body of rules and regulations for the government of this society. That the said , Committee shall have the entire management of this Institution during tlie tithe• they. continue in office, which shall not exceed 6 months.' 3. That books • be immediately opened, and proper persons appointed to receive subscriptions twirards defraying the expences of establishing the. above society ;. and that subscriptions are now received at the Argus Office, to defray the neces sary expellees that may immediately occur ; and that the regular weekly contribution from each member be one penny per week, leaving it Open for larger donations. 4. That the Committee be empowered to take, as soon as possible, a large private room, capable of accommodating at least 200, persons, which room to be fitted up with proper benches, &c. I That as soon as the said room can be prepared, a weekly Meeting shall be held of all the members of this Union, for the purpose of discussing such subjects as tend to political and general informa tion, and devising the best means of recovering from our oppressors those rights which they have usurped. 5. That as soon as. possible after the esta blishment of the Birmingham Union, a night and Sunday school shall be opened at the Union room, for the instruction of youth, not only in letters and words, but in such an education that will tend to the morality and happiness of the rising generatio n . CHARLES WHITWORTH, Chnirnum. The unanimous thanks were then voted to the Chairman, for his independent and impartial con- . duct in the Chair. NEWCASTLE. The advice of the Reforming , Schoolmaster, who addreised the late assembly at Gate ,, ltead, has, it appearS, been acted upon. In the early ►art of last week, a printed bill was posted - op on the walls of Newcastle, under the title of the " Declara tion of tile l'olitica►l Protestants of Newcastle npon-Tyne and Nuighlmurhood,7 which states that they have resolved to meet once a *eelt, in small classes, not exceeding twenty in each class, and to subscribe one penny each for the purpose of purchasing such means of intortuntion as may be required. Rumouts of General Meet ings on the Town Moor, &c. are in circulation. As there ate no great classes of labourers out of employment in this district, and, con3ugnentiv, kw materials for thsolfictiou to work•fipqn, ii is [PRICE SEvtNptNcr: nut prbbable' that the Magisirates - will hate mucl► trouble in repiessing disorder here. DERBYSHIRE. The Grand Jury of the County of Derby have published a Declaration, similar to that of the Grand Juries of the Counties 'adjoining, respect ing the recent proceedings of the Reformerc— " At the same time," they state, ".that we are gratified, by the assurance founded on our own observation Orthe good AispOsition 'of the inha bitants of • ttils`County, -and . of the continuance of their orderly behaviour, we are desirous of ex pressing :our abhorrence of the attempts which have been made to induce thein to enter into combinations, 'nbt. for the purpose 'of seeking redress 'for grievances,, or relief from distress, in a regular and coustilmional planner , hut under the vi sionary pretexts of Radical Re form, and of giving the people .their rights ; to inculcate a total disrespect tbr the Laws and Constitution, ,and to disseminate .principles sub versive of the established Government Of the coun try." They abstain from expressing their nion on theoretical points respecting the Rupre sentation of the People, or on any measures that may have been suggested with the view of remov ing defectS supposed to have crept in , o'the Con stitution ; but they state their decided opinion, that no redress can be obtained, or salutary im provement effected, by means of tumultuous meet ings', at which Resolutions are adopted as diire spectful to the Constituted Authorities of the State, as they are repug nant to the known and. established principles rite Constitution." iy, of esi STATIONARY orricE, August 2 ISM At CO iCt ICE io Ir rr 'PAINT NI or Riff [c° log' ocif , e ~O OP' + it le 40 11 tali cg 6 11, "I ,-•,' ire' 01 to 4 . p a. .s. of 'tai ga , g e v1)0 0 . eta 1 :1 111 : 1 di ::306 4fe ° Se ri off/ ........111.411110 0 •• •• • • • •..

Last Saturday a select Meeting of Mere!'At, and others was hid at the Court-House in this town, to take into consideration the propriety of , affording to 120 croppers and theii amounting in the whole to about 500 individuals, the means of emigrating to America. This mo.-t— -ing was held at the earnest request of. the suffer ing workmen. After about two hours spent deliberating, it was determined, that it would not be advisable at tAte present time to originate any public subscription for the proposed purpose, but that if no material improvement should take place in trade before the next spring, the matter should at that time be re-considered 6 and if it was then judged proper, a subscription should be set on foot, for enabling such of them as were' then inclined to quit the country, to proceed tu Canada. . We hear with great pleasure, that the cotton trade has improved considerably within the last three weeks. The raw material has advanced, about three-halfpence a pound, and the manu factured article will sell for at least 10 per cent. more than it would have fetched a month ago. Calico weaving, which was one of the most de pressed branches of the trade, has undergone a material improvement, and the advance to the weaver may be state:) at 20 put. cent., upon his former wages. This improvement in trade is said to arise from an increased Continental demand, And not from any hOme speculations. The Sub• • committee lately appointed by the Board of the Workhouse have now made their re ' port on the causes of the present increase o' pau perism, and the means of remedying it. They have come to the conclusion, that the only general resource is in the soil. They therefore recommtnd that the Guardians of the Poor should provide for each of the partly-employed families from half a rood to a rood of ground, as near as possible to their habitations, on which they may raise po tatoes, "cabbages, beans, &c. for their families, and employ their leisure time in this kind of per manently productive labour. " A rood of po tatoes and a pig," say they, " will begin to raise the cottager into independence, and for them he will love his country the better," The next source of relief they suggest is the cul tivation of wastes. Domestic colonization, upon a small scale, they think should be tried; the requisite funds for which they suppose might be raised in Leeds, by voluntary contributions. The last point to which they directed their at tention was emigration. They do not reject the idea ; they feel a conviction, that, under certain cirenmstances, with the concurrence and aid of Government, it might be rendered a dvantageous ; but it appears from their correspondence witts Lnrd BathUrst, that Governmcnt do not contem plate, as yet, the interference of parish officers 111 the wot k of foreign colonization. CARLISLE. We understand that the weavers in Our city have generally, if not entirely, reitancd to the loom, excepting a few who are traversing vt rious parts of the country, and subsisting upon, the public. HEATON-NORRIS, LYNIII, WARBURTON. Meetings of the loyal initabitants of earl) of these places were held last week, at which Dedd* rations were unanimously adopted, expressive of their strong attachment to the Constit,,tion, and their determination to give every possible aid to the 'Civil poh-zt, in preset Ong it trOal innovation.
