WORSHIP-STREE r.--Tuesday and yesterday Mr. BrxgETT, the presiding Magistrate, was for a consider able timeoccupied in hearing and determining a cause of com plaint which had' beenproiered by a journeyman weaver against his employer. It appeared that since the repeal of the Spitaltields Acts there has been no substitute which could form a standard for the re gulation of wages between manufacturers and journeymen, except the Act passed in the last Session of Parliament, en titled "An Act to consolidate and amend the laws relative t o the arbitration of disputes between masters and workmen."— The consequence was, that considerable anxiety was excited in the neighbourhoods of Bethnul-green and Spitalffilds upon the present occasion, to ascertain the decision of the Magistrates upon this point. The circumstances were these: —Mr. IVaterlow, a respect able silk-manufacturer, 27, Church-street, Spitaltields, appeared on Tueadal• in answer to a summons obtained against him by Samuel Popler, a Journeyman, for not allowing hint sufficient wages for weaving 4 'Piece of umbrella rnatitua ' and also for fur nisliing h" with bad materials. - The complainant related ; that I his wife anti child, had not more ie.. tha t it, vat morally impoialg ; thirty shillingsper month, and that seamy allowance, arid if he wts.ri eotittl seta exist upon that swap livee tit 1 o tt n ae b , y b i v h b e t . ii w t o. ix the materials wi t h w hi c h h e was ed to continue at it with provided nothing but the walls of a workhouse would be their Ate. got ten shillings in adv 4 atK e e Against this statement on the other side it appeavd, that wh c . lie got represented to his.imploy; i n r received the silk to turd.. but that statement , it had follow false, tis hisemployers w u a l f , t t e oh rw which statement he th at • e ad Tulin"- l a y rd g s e t turned (even .. f rii us 4 o n p ec : deu e r t oi o tt i o e .yvlivi )1, up o n opt, was completely received a further illi a weak after) 15 yards , an d t. t o hat the materials which he got Mr. !ivory:T. inquired i tl ; li n e giv e n i; ; ;ties t h h e ad m . Were not deserving the, d • leave the subjei issue to at at iss • rbitratio n . any objection to Mr,. Edward _:,., _ . .Clarke then stepped forward, and. stated, that tie in common with other working silkweave rs ' felt considerable interest for the fate of the pow ; pr t oceedings ; but he believed the Magistrates were empowered under the late Act to appoint lieferrees in case the-part ie s . srhich he understood Wu nut cou ld not agree in a selection, then the case . • Mr. KEN NETT expressed his h . i then withdrew . and yesterday, they 81"" " n• The parries Mr. Wetb, i Mr. Waterlow.s el l r , r , ,, n .ri a tt iz i e o ared, when his part. Mr. BENNETT was then apprised, that, altho ugh trators had agreed, still the journeyman would not submit to their decision. r. BENNETT—are there any of the arbitrators present ? Mr. Webb—Yes, your Worship, the two appointed on the part of the juryman are present. Mr. E. Clarke and 31r. Mickloe then presented them: selves, when 31r. Clarke stated, that they on the part of the journeymen, with two masters on the part of the manufacturer, had the evening before examined the work and the materials of which it was composed; and, although the present work had only 100 shoots to an inch, and that the late book of prices, under the Spitaltields Acts, allowed for the same description of goods 14d. per yard, when haring 120 shoots to an inch ; yet the arbitra tors thought proper, in consequence of the trouble and time lost, to allow the full price of the book, although there were twenty shouts to an inch difference. That the master had agreed to their decision, but the journeyman was not satisfied. The journeyman stated that he could not go on with it and if he did, the poor-house must he his lot. Mr. thew NETT said, that if he did not finish the work, he would relieve him from any anxiety of a poor-house at least fur some time, as he should be obliged to commit him to the House of Correction ; and as he (the journeyman) was the complainant, he would dismiss the complaint. And then ad. dressing Mr. Webb, said, he was at liberiy to apply the fol lowing day for his employer's remedy against the journeyman (if he should feel it necessary), when his complaint should be attended to.—They then withdrew. MUSICAL BAROMETER.— A gentleman at Bur-, kil, by the name of Ventain, not far from Basle, in Switzerland, invented, some years ago, a sort of musical barometer, which has been called in (lerman :eater Aorfi: (weather harp) or riesen harj? (giant harp), which possesses the singular property of indicating changes of the weather by musical tones. This gentleman was in the habit of amusing himself by shooting at a mark from ,his window, and that he might not be obliged to go after the mark ut every shot, he fixed a piece of iron wire to ,it, PO as to be able to draw it to him at pleasure. Ile frequently remarked, that this wire gave musical tones, sou nding exactly an o ctave , an d h e f ound that any iron-wire, extended in a direction parallel to the roe rpiide icaen, of gbar rasa wirethis gave ton nu v e nor did an iron w i re exten d e d ,east and west. In conse'equseeorryu time the wea t h er c h ange d. A consequence of of these obs ervat i ons , a mus i ca l barometer was constructed. In the year 1787, Captain lian a o t t: 32 on e In e Basle, made n t t l' r e l long, f°llw ing mariner : —Thi rteen p i eces owere extended front his sum nier-house to the outer court, crossing a garden. They were placed about two inches apart ; the largest were two l i ne n in dinmeter ; the smallest only one ; and the others were about one and a half. They were on the side of the house and made an angle of 20 or 30 degrees with the horizon. They were stretched and kept tight by wheels for the purpose, Every time t4r u.eather change:, these wires make so much noise, that it is impossible to continue concerts in the parlour, and the sound sometimes resembles that of a tea-urn while boil ing —sometimes that of an harmonica, a distant bell or an organ. In the opinion of the celebrated chemist, Dober einer, as stated in the Italktiminchnologique, this is an electro reagnetical phenomenon. Do any of our readers know of such an instrument having ever beentried in Britain?--( The Chemist.) The Expetlitiou to Douquali,ou the telth Feb., followed the murder of the serjeant, and wasono of We most gal. lant and succesiful rencontres we have had of the. enemy ; for, although the advanced guard, only amounting. to shout 100 men, were engaged,' ( the main body, Under Major Chisholm, having been betrayed, and led astray by a treacherous guide) the Ashantees amounting to nearly 400, and a large force of Fantees, were pursued for a distance of eight miles, totally defeated, and signal punishment administered in the' death of tour of their Chiefs, and nearly 100 men. The superiority of the Ashantee mode of twitting over that of the Fantee, aas clearly demonstrated by the different circa of their respective' tiring, the Ashantees from their steady aim bringing down our mtta hig at h e , merely crowned us w while eth that lee of dlaer Parsecs, it w s. beingquites direLcd toos well that they were not Moro skilful in the use of the musket at that time, a* the party of Ashinteek with the help of a stray shot now and then from the tantees, cOntrited, to kill and wound seierity.otie out 'of the handthl opposed to them. The report of this victory spread like wildfire through the country, and before Sir Charles left the coast in the month of May fol. lowing, he received the allegiance of moat of the Fantees, and of various other native tribes, who, desirous to rid themselves ,of the Ashantee yoke, flocked fruits all quarters 'to his banner, ' which was emphatically termed, and looked upon at that time, as the standard of liberty. While such things were going on, and the most gigantic preparations for war were every where in a state of forwardness, the King of Ashantee busied himself, by means of emissaries, in an attempt to intimidate our allies; he sent to one, advising him sarcastically, to arm the fishes of the sea; to another, he intimated his intention of carrying the terror of war into his country with such alarming sounds, that he would awake his father iron, the silent grave ; and to Sir Charles MiCarthy he sent his compliments, with a threat of soon having his head as an ornament to the great war drum of Ashantee ! (I) He also acknowledged the murder of the kr. leant, and directed the messenger to say, he had seen the knife with which it was perpetrated. To the Fantees, generally, he threatened extermination; he advised them to be on their guard, for he could talk over the white men whenever he pleased, and then come down upon them. He ridiculed their confi dence in Macbat (2), who, he said, would betray them, as Governor Torraine had done on a former occasion. But all this made no impression on the Faiitees,who now appeared inspired with a degree of confidence and enthusiasm quite unusual to them. The Ashantee Monarch, therefore, beginning to think more seriously of the matter than he was at first disposed to do, and knowing that his best troops were on a hazardous campaign in the Crepu country, at length sent an embassy to Elmina, to offer the olive branch to the British through the medium of the Dutch Governor. Sir Charles M!Carthy, on being apprised by Governor Poohnan, of - the arrival of this embassy, and of the pacific nature of their message, sent up tour gentlemen to receive it ; (these were Capt. Laing, Ensign Wetherill, Mr. Williams, Colonial Secretary, and Mr. F. Swanzy,merchant,) but to their great surprise, they found, on appearing in the Palaver.hall, that the tenor of the message was a threatof vengeance on the people of tape Coast, whom they accused (perhaps with wine justice) of poisoning the mind of the new Governor against the King of Ashantee; they denied that Assaf bad sanctioned the murder of the sergeant, and laid the whole affair at the door of the Fantees, whom they accused of perfidy of the blackest nature. This message, so opposite to what had been Anna. p a ced, not only surprised the Gentlemen from Cape Coast, but also seemed to strike with astonishMent the Dutch Go vernor himself, who declared upon the honour of a Nether. hinder, that he had understood it differently yesterday ; and, in proof ()this assertion, called upon his Linguist to explain themes. sage, as interpreted to him the day before. It was of such a na. tu re, that had it been delivered, pacific arrangements might have been entered into ; but as the Ashariteee den ied any knowledge of it, the conference was broken up, and matters stood exactly as before. This occurrence took place about the beginning of May, 1222, and Sir Charles M'Carthy, a few weeks afterwards, left Cape Coast, in the Cyrene sloop of war, on a tour of inspec tion to the Gambia and Sierra Leone ; his instructions were very concise, "To make as.rnany Allies, as possible --to induce them to oppose any force the Ashantees might send towards the Coast, but to risk as little as possible in the way of military enterprise, till his return." About a fortnight after his departure (the 4th of lune) a re port was prevalent, that is body of 2,000 .Ashantees had crossed the Eoosom-pra River, and were making their way to the Fan. tee country ; it tieing of course deemed necessary to check their progress, Cot. Laing was dispatched with a few regular., the Annamaboe militia, and a strong native force, to give them battle; but as they retired on hearing of his approach, that Officer directed his attention towards Ajurnacou, the terri tory of a powerful native King, who, there were strong grounds of belief, intended to assist the Ashantees. Having arrived on the confines of his country, which is separated from Fantee by the River Amissa, a message was sent to invite him to join in the general cause of freedom, but, as the invitation was not accepted, another messenger was dis patched to acquaint him, less formally, that unless he joined the white men, the white men would come to him (3); to which he replica, he was perfectly ready, and they might come as soon as they pleased. On the morning after the receipt of this message of defiance, orders were given for the construction of a bridge across the Amissa, which, by th e exer ti o n s o f Messrs. Hutchinson and Swanzy, Captains of 31i liti a , was com pleted on the evening of the second day ; it was not a work of such magnitude as that which Caesar threw across the Rhine, joined hut it had the effect of intimidatin g Appi a , who, perceiving that his river afforded him no prot ec ti on , sent a iendly mes sage to Captain Laing, andoined him in great state n e xt t i at the head of 1500 m e n, well appointed with arms and aininuy: nition. With this force, amounting now to about 8,000 efftc live tirelocks, a movement was made through the kingdom of Ajarnacon towards Essecooma, the t err it or y o f QuashieAmun quah, another Chief in alliance with the King of Ashentee, who, hearing of the approach of so large a force, fled from his country, and took refuge at C ooma s s i e . E ver y thin g a ft er this bearing semblance of quietness, the army returned to quarters on the 20th of June, the various Chiefs, who had been long disunited, having sworn to one another to assemble instantly at any point the white men should command. Towards the end of July another disposition of making an in road upon the Fantee country was manifested by the Asbuntees, and it was judged expedient to form an encampment about 25 miles from the coast for the purpose of watching their motions : the site of a deserted Fantee town, named Varicooniassie, was the spot chosen, to which a few iletachnients of . regulars and militia were marched on the 2tith of the month, arid were soon afterwards joined by the respective native chiefs with their troops, making in all a three of about 10,000 men. Another camp was formed at Jooqueli, about 15 miles in the rear of Cape Coast, for the purpose of foiling the enemy in that quarter, it being re ported that he was making for the coast in two strong divisions of 30,000 men each. These judicious preparations had the effect of keeping them ut bay for some time; indeed it began t be believed that they had again retired, when, on the even ing of the 20th of August, an express from Ajumacon reached Yancoornassie with tidings of the Ashantee army being within 40 miles of Apple's capital, to which they were marching with all speed. Orders were immediate)y given for a march, and next morning at an early hour Capt. Laing quitted Vancoom assie at the head of a tolerably well organized force of regulars, militia, and natives, amounting in all to about 5,000 men, the remainder - being left at the camp, under command of Captain Hutchinson, in case of a stratagem being intended by the Ash antes,. On the afternoon of the 2241, lb. force from Van- , At 2 P.SI. a few of the advance, who fell back upon the main body, gave information of their beingeurprised, and nearly an. nihilated, by the A shantees, who had already burnt one of Appia't towns, about three miles off. The cohnuns now were kept more. compact, .and moved forward with less eapedition, expecting every minute to come in contact with the enemy; but at 4 P.N. having reached the town queStion, it was with surprise they , . found that he had Made a retrograde movement, fearing some ambust ; he was, nevertheless, followed with caution, and ar e tt P.M., just as the moon had cleared the horizon . ; wag iturprizial 4n the town of Esseoboma by the , six columns, which speedily tbrating. charged, and came: up in tine style, without firing a shot. The Ashantees, who had been employed sacrificiog.the prisoners whom they secured in the morning, were seized with a panic, and merely discharging their pieces, without again attempting to loud, fled front the town, in the greatest confu sion. It was late before the natives, sonic of whom had follow ed the enemy, could be recalled, and nearly morning hefore, by the marching of a picket, the army was permitted to bi. vouac. The distressing scene witnessed in this town was truly appalling, the bodies of the slain meeting the eye in every di. rection, and here and there, the scattered limbs of the victim' taken in the morning (the sacrifice of sonic of whom the oppor. tune arrival of the army was in time to prevent) lay strewed about the ground, in the most careless manner, while now and then a captured foe, or timid fernale, who had been unable to effect her • escape, was brought in, and tremblingly beheld the bleeding and mangled bodies, which but a few hours before they had astist• ed in mutilating, and whose awful fate appeared to await them. On the following day, the 24th of August, the Aehanteett were pursued, and %nein surprised in theircamp in the act of preparing their dinners ; they get! in the greatest perturbation, leaving . behind them guns, amniunition; clothing, small packages of gold dust, their fdlrelie, and (what was moot accepteble to the troops, having been without provisions for two days) their din ners. A number of prisoners were els° taken and marched to Cape Coast Castle. Beyond this point the Fantees would not ntivance ; scouts were, therefore, sesaufter the enemy to watch him, but as he made the best of his way to the Boosorn-pra, and crossed it the next day, a player was held at Essecooma, when it was determined to destroy the town, and distribute the respective forces in the same manner as before the invasion ; the Vancoomaseie division of the army, therefore, marched on the 27th, sums the country to Mansere (4), where they were met by Captain fintehinsone with the remaining Fantees, that Officer having advanced in a most spirited and creditable man. tier, with a hope of cutting off the retreating enemy. In this state of quietness the country remained for several months, the Asiliantees making no further incursions, and the Fantees too indolent to follow up the edvantage gained. An attempt, but without effect, was made to induce the Fantees (5), in concert with the force at Jooquale under the command of Lieutenant King, it. N., to march towards the Assins, and either force them to fall hack upon the Ashantees, or induce them to em• brace our cause, which they had of late, through the medium of messengers to Captain' Laing, shewn some disposition to do. The arrival of Sir Charles M'Carthy, on the 28th Nov. pre ceded by a detachment of white troops from England, did not infuse that spirit which every one had anxiously looked for.— The natives had fancied to themselves (upon what. ground it is hard to say, for. Sir Charles never led them to expect it) that their great Governor would have brought with hhn ship load ut guns, with an overwhelming . host of white men ; and their disappointment may ,be conceived when he was seen to disembark from the colonial sehooner with only two or three • attendants; their chagrin was so great, that they •went so far • as to speak of it openly, and they did not scruple to aCi quaint Sir Charles, at Christmas, when he visited the camp at Vancoornassie, that they were told he had 'arrived in a small canoe, anti brought with him seven guns and a pistol ! —About this period it was currently believed, among the white part of the population, that an attack would be made on Coomaesie by Sir Charles, and the attempt was viewed generally ate one of no great difficulty, but of cotziparative cer tainty. Admitting, however, that the destruction of that cap'. tal was an easier matte, than it was even .conceived to be—ad.. mining that the British arms had succeeded in razing it to the ground—the result, in point of colonial interest and effect, would have been trifling, compared with that which might have been derived froni negotiation, at a period when we had been sue cessful—when we could walk individually in perfect security any where within fifty miles of the coast and tit 11 time when the King of Asharitee was sacrificing eight or virgins daily to induce his fefliche to avert the destruction which appeared to stare him in the face !I ! Nothing could have been more fa vourable than the aspect of affitits at this moment, and the ad vantages likely to arise from a negotiation were itpointed out to Sir Charles 31 .
