THE LONDON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS FROM THE Dlf LY MORNING PAPERS-, March 9, 1-829: [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The fnsurrection in France is not suppressed Government has received intelligence which ii will not communicate. If intelligence favour to'tließourbons had been received, it would have been instantly made public; and the ab sence of favourable intelligence is equal to un .favourat.)le. Under the present circumstances— with the well-known disposition of the French nation--with a Royal Family either Bathed or not beloved—with men in power whose principles are detested—whose abilities are held in con tempt, and who have been so imbecile as to con vert at this critical time nearly. the whole host of employes into irreconcilealkle- enemies—an insur rection of a few days' continuance is equivalent to a Revolution.—We have no details to lay be fore our readeffs. The French Journals cannot furnish them ; but, as we have said, the absence of information in this case speaks volumes.—The report, indeed, is, that the force of General Berton had received great accessions, and that he was mare hing u ponNan tes,with the certainty of o btain ing possession of that city.—We know not the au thority on which the report rests : all we can say is, that persons well informed as to what is now going on in France attach credit to it.—On Thursday evening, a Messenger from France ar rived in the greatest haste with dispatches, which were delivereA to Lord Londonderry while at dinner at Bellamy's. His Lordship, who had not swallowed a couple of mouthfuls, had no sooner made himself acquainted with their,cOn tents, than he rose from table, in apparent agi tation, and proceeded to his Office.—lt is un necessary for us to offer any comment on this cir cumstance. The present Royal Family has evi dently- no hold either of the "people or of the army of France.—The circumstances under which it acquired the Throne were beyond measure galling to a high-minded nation ; and even if the French could have forgotten these circumstances, the Bourbons would not allow them.—Time, which often allays irritation, has in this case only given increased force to it. [NEW TIMES.] Some very large purchases were made yester day at the Stock Exchange. Consols, at the opening of the market, were - dull, and some bar gains were done as low as 78 for the Account ; bnt in a short time business assumed a livelier aspect, and Comsols finally closed at 791 sellers. The rumours respecting Russia and Turkey were, as usual, utterly inconsistent, and contra dictory. .The Hamburg Papers of the 2d inst. contain ad vices from Moldavia to the 14th of February, stating that. Count Wittgenstein's corps had suspended its march ; from which it was inferred that peace would be preserved : and on the other hand, letters from Paris assert ed that a commercial courier had arrived from Rt. Petersburg, which place he'left on the 17th of Feb., bringing accounts that a war with Turkey was on the very eve of breaking out. Our . own in telligence is of a pacific complexion: The follow ing are extracts of .private letters addressed to an eminent mercantile house in this City : ITzENNA, Fin. 20.—Every thing continues to wear a decid edly pacific aspect. All our funds have improved, and a far tho-r advance is anticipated, because the political horizon brightens. NAPLES, FEE. 29;:--An extraordinary courier has just arri ved from Corfu, bringing intelligence of importance from the Government of ttie lonian Islands, addressed to an official personage at this Court. It appears, from what has transpi red, that some leaders haCe seceded front the Greek cause, and passed over to the 'forks; by which the latter have be come so formidable, that it was expected they would soon be able to restore tranquillity to unhappy Greece. This news has had the effect of increasing the confidence which exists, that no war between Russia and the t'orte would take place ; since, should the Turks be enabled to assume their former dominion, one of the greatest difficulties in the way of peace would he removed. [THE TIMES.] A Proclamation, or Remonstrance, issued by the Magistrates of Norfolk, at their adjourned Quarter Sessions, evinces, we regret to state, the existence of a disposition to riot in some parts of that county. The neighbourhood of hiss and Attleborough, we believe, may be considered as the districts chiefly disturbed, or tending to dis turbance. It is a new era in our history to see the English agricultural labourer and husband man relinquishing their peaceful employments on account of their not being able to liVe by them, and driven by want into a breach of the laws.— Unhappily, there are those among our rulers whose ears have been so familiarized, even from youth, to the sounds of " popular commotion," " disturbed counties," " civil commotion," &c., that, as it was a maxim of the ancient Germans bellanz, nalla vita"), there was no life without fighting, these persons may, from habit, suppose there is no government without rebellion. Such men will, of course, be leFfs struck than the English nation in general, by the painful tidings out of Norfolk. We deeply regret the occur rence of the mischief, and hope it will soon ter minate. The proclamation is written in a very' proper mariner. To have told men who are ' 1 perishing with want, that every thing was as it should be—that Government was conducted in a proper manner—would have been insulting mockery. Not to have explained to them that the course which they were taking would but serve to bring down immediate destruction on themselves, and to increase the evils complained of, would have been to overlook the violation of the laws. [BRITISH PRESS.] There was some discussion last night in the House of Commons upon the plan for converting the Five per Cents. into the New Stock at Four per Cent. which went more deeply into the principle of the measure than any previous debate upon the suLject. It will, we think, be at length found out that the Public—we do not mean the proprietors of stock—have no great cause for congratulation in the success of this scheme. In private life it Would be considered an act of egregious - folly - if as man ()Wring money were to charge ha' estate - With a large. inerease of debt for thfel,lnirpOse:of'diminishing the pre sent burden of - mmual. 'interest. It is pre cisely such an act as' a spendthrift would commit' under - the . immediate impulse of an inveterate habit of extravagance and the encouragement of interested money-lenders. In private life, however; the effect of such a measure would be single and direct; but in the complicated financial concerns of this em pire it will operate equally upon many various points, and its ill consequences will be -in the direct ratio of the numberless instances in which it must be felt. The increase in the debt has been noticed—so have the interest and expenses payable on this increase ; with these may be enu merated the forcing of British capital into foreign countries, the impulse given to foreign trade and manufactures, and, notwithstanding the dissent of some of our Statesmen, we cannot - hesitate to add, the rise in the rest of our Government Stock, counteracting the effect of the Sinking Fund.— The Bill was recommitted, and the details of the measure were discussed in the Committee. [monNix° POST.] The state of France is evidently more dii turbed than the Parisian Journals are willing to allow. Even in the metropolis a considerable degree of agitation continues to prevail, and the patronage lavished by the Government on the Missionaries is by no means calculated to conci liate the people, or remove the‘causes of discon tent. The ground upon which these Missionaries are so warmly opposed is, that they are attempting to revive,not purely religious-feelings,but the su perstitions of ancient times; and the employment of the military in their support, instead of lessen ing, has evidently widened the breach. There were fresh disturbances on the 4th inst. at the churches of St2Eustache and Les Petits Peres. The Gendarmerie were called to disperse the nu merous crowd which surrounded those places, and the people gave way at the time, but only to collect anew in, the Place des Victoires, where, grown more confident in their own strength, they attacked party of the National Guard with stones, exclaiming at the same time, " Down with the Missionaries !" The military were once more brought against them, and several persons having been apprehended, we are told the rioters withdrew, and complete tranquillity was restored. These tumults, however, are not without danger. Whatever may have been the cause or the pre tence of their origin, the first favourable oppor tunity may give them a political character ; they create, at all events, a habit of restlessness in the people, which may prepare them for worse doings ; and after the experience of what has already paised in France; it is a symptom which must command attention, even if it should fail to inspire alarm.—The law for regulating the Liberty of the Press is likely to experience some altera tions and improvements in the Chamber of Peers. Their Lordships have already restored the epi thet of " Constitutional" to the authority of the King, which had been expunged by the Depu ties; so that in order to be an offence, the attack must be made, not only on the Royal Power, but on the constitutional authority with which the Kink is invested. This is an important check to the growth of arbitrary power, for it leaves - it exposed to the severity of the Press, and only protects that part of the. Royal authority which deserves protection as long as it follows the prin ciples and obeys the dictates of the Constitution. [MORNING HERA LD.] The recent disturbances at some of the churches in Paris might lead one, at first view, into a very false estimate of the temper and feeling of the peopple of . that capital on the subject of religion and public decency. It would he at once revolting and, deplorable to see'religious worship, abstractedly considered, provoking po pular ridicule and outrage. But upon a nearer view, the wonder is, that the Government can be so bigotted or weak as to endanger the peace by lending itself to the Tartufferie of these Missionary Preachers. In Paris the re gular worship of the Gallican Church is the object of popular respect, like the national worship of any other Christian country. But the fact is, that these Missionary preachers are composed of in trusive Jesuits, who, under the protection of the bigotted part of the French Royal Family, have ousted the regular parish clergy of their func tions and their churches, in order to preach dis cord, slavery, hypocrisy, and persecution, under the name of religion. Honest zeal, however mis taken, when unintentionally mischievous, deserves consideration. But if there be any sincerity in these men, it is the sincerity of mere priestcraft, which knows so well how to clothe malignant passions and sordid self-interests in the garb of religious zeal. " Ces gem," as Moliere says— " Qui savent ajuster leur zele avec leurs vices." The Paris Papers contain rather a significant commentary upon the true character of these preachers', in the appointment of one of them— or at least of their patrons, the Abbe Frayssi nous, to one of those bishopricks which the See of Rome takes upon itself to dispose of in hea then countries, and which have, we suppose, the double charm of lucre and sinecure. The See to which he is appointed is in Egypt. According to the last accounts, the Missionaries performed their preathings undisturbed. But this seems to have been owing to the sabre's of the hens d'arnies, who were stationed in the churches and in the vicinity. Since the days of Constantine no Missionaries have preached to the heathen, with more comfort and security. The historian of the fall or Rome says that the Missionaries in Constantine's time sought and obtained wealth, power, honours, and revenge. Those of Paris would, we believe, be very silent and lukewarm, indeed, if nothing was to be gained by their labour but the crown of martyrdom.—lt appears that tranquillity preVails in the Departments of the South.—But still the vigilance of the military and civil authorities,' the arrests and searches . which continue fo take place, and the partial ex plosions lately witnessed, induce a belief that a. train was laid of some danger and extent. FOR THE SUN. MR. EDITOR—Some time since, through your impartial Paper, you did me the favour to bring the Public acquainted with my intention, on the assembling of Parliament, to call a Public Meet ing for the purpose of petitioning that honour able Body to grant a Committee that might in quire into and ascertain the relative value of every British Interest to the State, and then de cide on the quantum of duty which should be imposed on the importation of Foreign products of the like description, with a view to secure the Home market to our native and colonial industry, when they (all Things considered) rendered it to the Public equally cheap. I at the same time laid down certain principles on which a protect ing system of that sort Should, as I conceive, be founded, and I invited the Public either to assent to those principles, , or to point out their inac curacy through the medium of the Daily Press. With the exception, however, of two or three miserable side-winded attacks by persons, I pre sume, who neither understood the principles themselves, nor cared much about their truth, no observation, as far as I am aware, has appeared in the shape of a reply to any of my reasonings or statements. From this, I conclude that I have either not rendered myself intelligible, or that the practical protecting system of Commerce, and the self creating system of Finance which I advocate, have not met with the approbation of the public ; my friends therefore advise me pot to call the Meeting which I intended for the present, but to wait until our present, and our proposed commercial and financial - measures shall have more fully developed themselves, until they shall have caused a larger portion of the landed interest to be put into the possession of our paupers, through the operation of the poor's rate, until the British behold the Foreign Ship Owner run away with more of those freights which ought to belong exclusively to himself, and until he have, in consequence, a still greater num ber of his own vessels rotting by the walls, until the British merchant and manufacturer lose still more of their- domestic and colonial customers, and finally until the public creditor be deprived of his dividends, the Government of its general revenue, and our Colonies 'shall be in a state of insurrection, for want of our markets for their products, which we are now giving to foreigners. When this national calamity shall take place, but not I fear till then, I may probably be called on by those whom I have hitherto endeavoured in vain to rouse to a sense of their danger, - to convene a public Meeting, instead of having oc casionto call upon-them to attend one. In the mean time, however, I beg permission to throw out to the public the following princi ples, in the hopes that some of your readers may be induced to give them that serious and atten tive consideration which, if they be not errone ous, their paramount import to the public weal demands, for few as they are, it is on them that I found my system of Commerce and Finance, the truth of which I should be glad to see dis puted, if it be disputable, thrOugh the medium of your valuable Journal, viz.:— That the profitable employment of our people constitutes the wealth and prosperity of the British Empire. That our domestic and colonial Agriculture, when duly protected from foreign competition, and otherwise duly regulated, are the root of, and propelling power to, all our other industry. That so long as we have any portion of our population unemployed, all foreign articles, the like of which we can produce ourselves either at home or in our colonies, would •be dearer to us as a donation, than if we were to pay each of our own people so unemployed for their produc tion at the e rate of 501. per man per annum.— Nothing can be rendered to the State sufficiently equivalent for depriving our own people of pro fitable employment. That we' cannot beneficially extend our ex ports beyond what is required for the payment of such imports as we use and consume ; that nothing but the profitable employment of our people can increase the use and consumption of such imports ; that the high prices of our pro ducts, when they arise from those products pay ing their just quota of the National burthens, from their affording a proper remuneration to the labourer, and from their yielding finally a fair profit to the capitalist, do not lessen our con sumption, but on the contrary increase it, inas much as they afford our people the means of pur chasing and consuming those articles, which are received as return payments for our exports, and consequently that high prices, far from dimi nishing our foreign trade, would tend consider ably to augment it. That our cotton manufacture, in its present state, is nearly a foreign interest, and occasions a loss to the British Empire of about 20 millions sterling, per annum. That all British interests have but one object to promote, and that nothing can so effectually unite and direct them to that common object, as the protecting, by a due gradation of duties, each and every of such interests from foreign compe ation,' according to its respective value to the State. Subject, however, to such protection, let commerce have the freedom of air, and let foreigners be invited to adopt the same line of restriction towards us. That our distress does not proceed from any improper motives on the part of Ministers, but front the existing order of things ; and from this, and a national ignorance of the mighty resources of the British Enipire, and of that self creating and self supporting system of Finance, combined with that system of Commerce founded on red procity of benefits, calculated to bring those re sources into action, and therehy to give all our people profitable employment, increase our re venue and lessen our Poor-rates in the like ratio. Such, I say, are the sources whence nearly all the calamities which we are at present suffering are derived.—Although I have not received the least assistance, or even thanks, except from a very few of those who are most interested in the success of my measures, still I have not spared either expence, time, health, or trouble, nor have .1 left a stone unturned that was likely to promote the great national object I had in view. Yet since all my efforts have been unavailing, I must now leave to time, and to the wisdom of my countrymen, to say, it they or I have been right or wrong. No one can more sincerely hope that I may in the event prove a false prophet, and that not one of my predictions may be verified, than Mr. Editor, Your very obedient Servant, JOSEPH PINSENT, (A true Pittite.) 22, Birchin-lane, Nlarch 7. DISTURBANCES IN NORFOLK. [From the " Nonwicu MERCURY," received this morning.] We cannot but regret that our county is become the scene of many disgraceful and tumultuous assemblies, arising from an opinion prevalent among the lower classes of labourers that the threshing machines, or in fact that all machinery, is injurious to their welfare. It seems that the only object of these meetings is the destruction of agricultural machinery ; nor does it appear, except in one instance, that any personal outrage has been committed. The parties who are thus parading the county consist generally of , from to' 500 persons, headed by a leader, who takes no part in destroying the machines; but merely instigates his followers, sometimes accompanied by a trumpeter. They press men into their ser vice, and even threaten severe punishment in case of refusal. It appears also that there - is a regular system of organization and communica tion between the various villages, insomuch as it but seldom occurs that these rioters break the machines in their own parish, but go to one at, a distance, thus hoping to escape recognition. It is a curious fact, connected with these disturb ances, that the people dispersed with great rapi dity at the appearance of the authorities, and in an inconceivable short period assembled by the sound of a horn at a great distance from their for mer place of meeting. Thursday se'nnight, in the forenoon, a strong party of insurgents, amounting to several hun dreds, collected from all. the neighbouring pa rishes, attacked and destroyed a thrashing ma chine attached to the freehold, on the premises of Mr. Richard Doggett, of Winfarthing. Not withstanding the resistance of a large party of friends, constables, and, others, they proceeded to demolish the obnoxious engine.—A desperate attack' commenced with bludgeons and all kinds of weapons.—One gentleman was felled from his horse, and several more, who were well mounted, were compelled to retreat in all directions, amidst a heavy discharge of stones and other missiles. The barn was forced, in order to come at the interior of the machine, which, together with a dressing machine, were destroyed. On the fol lowing morning large parties assembled at Diss, being market day, and the leader of the insur gents of Thursday, by name William Baker, of Bressingham, labourer, was apprehended, and 'im mediately brought before Sir Wm. Robert Kemp, Bart. and Geo. Lee, Esq., and was by them ,com-, mitted to the County Gaol. Next day .large parties of the insurgents paraded about different parts of the neighbourhood, keeping watch in the night to prevent any of their party from being apprehended ; and on Monday morning they again assembled at Winfarthing, and broke and destroyed a threshing machine, the property of Mr. Samuel George, of that parish. On Tues day the arrival of the Troop of Suffolk Harstmere Cavalry, under, the command of Colonel Ray, we hope have so far succeeded as to prevent their again assembling for further mischief in this' neighbourhood. • On Monday forenoon a mob, whose number was much increased by women, iu the direction from Wymondham, Bunwell, Carleton, and their vicinities, proceeded through Attleburgh, still adding to their numbers by pressing those whom they happened with, destroying every machine, they could obtain intelligence of ; from thence they proceeded to Shropham, Snetterton, &c. demolishing eleven in the course of the 'day ; and at night, about ten o'clock, returned through Attleburgh, having had intelligence that a machine was concealed on, the premises of Mr. W. Parson, junior ; this they took. by breaking open the barn door in their search ; they also broke open the fowl-house and stole there out forty hens, and then drawing the thrashing , machine a mile to the Market demolish ed it. The following day they renewed their route, in a direction for Buckenhain; but just as they got over the Green, here overtaken by a party of gentlemen, farmers, and - others who had joined them, accompanied by the Eye YeOrnanry Cavalry (who had been summoned on the occasion), headed by several Magi strates. The insurgents scrambled over hedges, and some into ditches ; the pursuit was most ac tively carried on, and they succeeded in securing about thirty, whom they conducted to the White Horse, Buckenham ; and after examination,- the Magistrates found satisfactory evidence against six of the delinquents ; the remainder were libe rated. We understand that a similar discomfi ture took place at Hingham, and the following morning some more were committed. • In consequence of this increasing spirit of tu mult, the Magistrates, at the adjourned Quarter Sessions of the county, on the first day of their meeting, debated on the means for quelling these tumultuous meetings. • At this debate, it Was unanimously determined to publish a remon strance to the people, which wr, are given to understand was proposed by Lord Suffield. In its language it is temperate, but firm, and shows the determination on the part of the Magistracy to preserve the peace of the county, but at the. Same time their desire to use persuasion rather than force. It has been published in the form of a large bill, and circulated through the county by means of the constables of the several parishes : " The Magistrates assembled at the adjourned sessions, on Wedneiday, March 6, 1822, have, with considerable pain, re ceived evidence of a riotous disposition, exhibited in some in stances by actual outrage in various parts of the county. The circumstances, made known to many of them previous to this day, have induced measures of precaution, which will assuredly be found effectual for the suppression of tumult. But, anxious as the Magistrates feel, in the dischargeof their duty, to avoid the necessity of resorting to the force with which they are armed for the preservation of the peace against a Misguided populace,: they desire to offer, in: the form of timely remonstrance, a few remarks deserving of attention. If grievances exi s t, do the persons concerned in the riotous 'proceedings before alluded to, suppose that they can be remedied by violence ? To what. possible beneficial result can their proceedings tend ? To what have they tended in other parts of the country ? But to the loss of many valuable lives, and a curtailment of British liberty.— Let the people beware of bad advisers—those whu may preter.d to sympathise in their alleged grievances, for the purpose of exciting them to acts of mischief, i n th e pun i s h ment for which the instigators generally take care to have no p ar ti c ip a ti on . Let. them be assured, th a t it is equally wicked and unwise to resist the law ; wicked in principle, and unwise in practice, because ineffectual to any good purpose. By order of the Court, Cope man, Clerk of the Peace." The Learned Chairman, in his Address to the Grand Jury, stated that the_ Sessions had been adjourned to that day with a view to reduce the calendar for the Assizes.—Great advantages had resulted from them on a former occasion, and he hoped the present adjourn men t wou ld b e atten d ed with the same salutary effects. Amon.. the number of cases in the calendar before him he perceived several were for a riotous assembly, attended with the breaking of threshing machines.—This was probably done under the idea that machinery was injurious to the labo ur in g c l asses , but it was not th e p rov ince of the Court to inquire into this.— If the use of machinery was detrimental to the interest of the labourer, it would be found in the end to be so to the farmer also. w e are all aware of, said, the Learned Gentleman, and can not but regret,the distress of the labourer in husbandry—but if these . men think_to.better their Condition by riotous and impro per behaviour, they will find themselves miserably mistaken ; for instead of decreasing, they will aggiaviite their sufferings. Acts of tumult and riot made men unwilling to embark their • property in speculation, and therefore the wages and comforts of the poor were dependent on a peaceable and soberdispositioa. The first object of the law is the security-of the public peace: —lt is our duty to endeavour by persuasion to prevent disturb-. mice; but if that be ineffectual, the strong power of the law must be called in exercise to punish the offenders. The Learned Chairman proceeded to state, that what the • remedies were that ought to be applied for the relief of the agri.. cultural labourer it did not become him, in the situation in which he was then placed, to discuss ; but, said the Learned Gentleman, I think I may be allowed to say, that whatever they may be, their operation m us t b e gra d ua l ; and I trust, he added, that here will not be wanting that fortitude which was so conspicuous in. other portions of the community when under similar deprivations. The Learned Chairman, after proceed ing shortly to state what constituted a riot, directed the Jury to - apply his observations to the cases that would come before theta, and he doubted not of their doing ample justice. On Thursday the following prisoners, com mitted for these breaches of the peace, were put upon their trial Robert Chatton, Simon Crick, Henry Caley, James Caley, Jaines Goddard, and John Andrews were indicted for riotously assembling at Shimpling.—All the defendanth pleaded guilty, with the exception of Robert Chatton. Chatton denied breaking the machine, but admitted that he was present. Several witnesses spoke to the good character of the defendant, who was found guilty, but recommended to mercy on account of his age. The prosecutor, Mr. Sparham, a farmer at Burstop., pro prietor of the machine, recommended H. Caley, J. Andrews, J. , Caley, and S. Crick to mercy on account of their good cha racter. Thomas Taylor, Wm. Baker, James Goodings, and Robert Smith were severally tried and' found guilty of the same of fence in the parish of Wymondham. The CHAIRMAN addressed the prisoners at the bar, with an approprriate and excellent speech, which made a great impres sion on the Court, and apparently on the culprits. The sentence of the Court, looking to the extent of the crime, is one of lenity and mercy, and it was to be hoped that this mild administration ofjustice would induce them to quit such a course of life for one of sober, quiet, and honest industry for the rest of their lives. The sentence of the Court was, that Robert Chatton pay a fine of 51., to the King, be imprison ed for twelve months, and at the end of that period to find security to keep the peace for two years, himself in 11001. and two sureties of 501. each.—James Goddard l• year's imprison ment, and to enter into a recognizance of 1001. to keep the peace 2 years.—S. Crick 6 month's imprisonment, and to enter into recognizance to keep the peace , for 12 months.—H. Caley and J. Andrews to be imprisoned in Aylsham Bridewell for 3 months.—James Caley 1 months' imprisonment in the Castle.—W..Baker and J. Goodings 6 months' imprisonment, and to enter • into recognizance to keep the peace for 12 calendar months, in 501. each.—Thomas Taylor to be imprisoned three months in Swaffham Bridewell, and Robert Smith one week in the Castle. [FROM THE SAME PAPER.] On Tuesday night some rioters arrived at the County Gaol, guarded by a part of the Suffolk cavalry. On approaching the city they were met by a considerable body of persons, who appeared inclined to make a tumult. The prisoners were however safely lodged in gaol. On the return of the cavalry they were received with a shower of stones and brick-bats, and were stoned com pletely through the city to the Trowel and Hammer, out of St. Stephen's Gates, where they gained shelter. The rioters pursued them hither, and broke several windows.— The Mayor, W. Rackham, Esq. having recei ved information of this riotous disposition, re paired immediately to the spot with some con- Stables, and after much active exertion both by hiniself and assistance, he succeeded in dispers ing the assembly. About the same time a con stable brought to the Castle another prisoner for the same disorders. As he was returning, Mr. Johnson seeing that a large body of persons had gathered together, and appeared inclined' to ill-use the_coustable, sent two of his assistants with the man across the Castle Ditches. As soon as they had entered the Golden Ball-lane they were attacked,by a mob, who seized the cart, and after a violent struggle, succeeded in gaining possession of it, with which they ran down to the Foundery-bridge,, and threw it into the river. The constable and horse were with much diffi culty saved from their violence. No assistance could be rendered, as the Mayor was at that mo ment engaged in _quelling the tumult at Saint Stephen's Gates. These rioters appeared to con sist principally of the loose and disorderly boys who frequent our streets. The industrious classes took no part 'in these proceedings.— It was expected that possibly a similar out rage might be committed on Wednesday night.. The Mayor and his officers were upon the alert, and we think that his determination on Tuesday evening, to preserve the peace,of the city, con tributed much towards the prevention of any disorders that might, on the arrival of new pri sonersl have taken place.—The Norwich Light Horse Volunteers have been 'on duty almost every night this week. A correspondent at Margate says, " In conse quence of the prices of Malt Liquor being still kept up, many of the inhabitants of this town have resolved to abstain from drinking it until the prices are lowered."—(Kent Herald.) 1 COAL-IVIARKET, ManciL 8.
