I " at t l alication to j° "s) O Solcitoros,n application to lid Jotj, solicitors s ; flsrrint on THE LTVERPOOL STAND.A.IID, TUESDAY, Ai UST 24, 1832, rant of Dr. GRAHAM'S In the acts of violence which happened on Tuesday, the 29th, the Irish party most unquestionably took the initiative and provocative part. It was by no accident that some sixty men and boys were con- gregated together in the streets of Stockport that night, armed with pokers, soldering irons, and Italian iron heaters, and apparently obeying known signals. It was by no accident that the violence of the increasing crowds of Irish were directed to the Protestant schools, and to the house of Dr. GRA- HAM, an esteemed magistrate of the borough. The recklessness and indifference of the Irish mob, in throwing brickbats and other missiles; the brutal and barbarous manner in which they treated a ser- the cries of insult and defiance with which they assailed the English and Protestant part of the community ; their coarsely expressed determination to show the English that they (the Lish) were masters of the town where they had fled for shelter and support from their own afflicted country ; these things combined were sufficient to excite natures much more phleg matic than those of Englishman, and men of much calmer judgment and power of forbearance than are usually the components of street mobs. That the English should have retaliated, therefore, is no matter of surprise ; although any retaliation was illegal, and that which actually took place demanded the severe punishment with which it was visited. Let us hope, however, that out of this evil may come good ; that the Irish population of our great towns may learn from the proceedings at Stockport that they can have no chance of success in measur ing force for force with the Protestants ; and that their clergy, who have so much power over them for good or for evil, will enforce upon them the great duty of not violating those laws by whose impartial administration they are so effectually pro tected from the consequences of their own mischiev ous acts. It is but justice to say that Mr. FISHER, the priest, whose property was sacrificed, seems to have been unoffending in the matter. Not till we see the Irish Roman Catholic Clergy, however, set ting vigorously and earnestly to work, to instil into their flocks a feeling of the vital importance of re- spect for the laws, • can we entertain any certain as surance that scenes so deplorable and disgraceful as the Stockport riots will not recur. ,ales by auction.

THE STOCKPORT CASES EVERY schoolboy remembers VraGlL's graphic description of a popular tumult, when the " igno bile vulgus" waxes wild : "Jam saxa faceFque volant : Furor arms ministrat." Such was the scene witnessed at STOCKPORT on the night of the 29th June; and unfortunately there was no man " pietate gravis ac writes" pre sent, who could control the excited spirits or soothe the bosoms of the infuriated mob. The proceed- ings of the night in question were indeed most deplorable. They have been fairly and fully inves tigated by the proper tribunals, and adequate punishment has followed the conviction of those who were proved to have taken part in the most reprehensible acts of lawless violence. At the two trials—those of the Irish Roman Catholics and of the English Protestants—the utmost and most laudable endeavours were made by Judge and Counsel to prevent prejudice from warping justice, and to avoid mixing up questions of religion and race with the inquiry into the charges of riot, assault, and destruction of property. But the Counsel, the Jury, and the Judge having at length performed their several duties, it is for the Public Journalist to carry the investigation further hack, to ascertain the true origin of the mischief, and to point out the lesson which the occurrence of such events ought to teach the people of Great Britain. The Judge, who found himself bound by the evidence to award more severe punishments to the English Protestants than to the Irish Roman Ca tholics, at the same time told the latter, that it was most probably their conduct which had been the cause of the retaliation of their opponents. It was no doubt most wise on the part of the learned Judge not to admit the provocation given by the Irish settlers in STOCKPORT to the English inha bitants as an extenuation of the very serious and gross outrages committed on the persons and pro perty of the Roman Catholics; but when we come to examine what led to the extraordinary excite ment of the Protestant mob, resulting in such reckless violence, we shall find much deserving of consideration, which could not properly be the subject of judicial inquiry. An attempt has been made to deprive these riots of all religious significance, and to attribute them entirely to jealousy in the competition of labour between the Saxons and the Celts. There can, however, be no reasonable doubt that a very large share of the ill feeling which exists between the English and Irish is attributable to religious pre judice ; and a review of the whole circumstances of the Stockport case serves to prove conclusively that religious hostility was the source of the mis chief. It must be remembered that, shortly before the time in question, HER MAJESTY'S Govern ment had felt it necessary to vindicate the law of the land against the impudent and audacious defi ance, by certain members of the Roman Catholic Church, of its letter and spirit, and to admonish the Roman Catholics against the commission of further offences. Public processions of Roman Catholic bodies, accompanied by Priests wearing canonical costumes, and by religious symbols, were the special subjects of the Royal Proclamation. On the Sunday before the 29th of June, it ap pears that there took place, in Stockport, a proces sion of Roman Catholic schools, accompanied by Priests, not wearing canonicals, and persons bearing staves, surmounted by doves and crosses, but using no other symbols. Whether or not such a proces sion could, with propriety, be deemed to come within the letter or within the spirit of the procla mation, it is very clear that, had the Roman Catholic Priests been anxious to prevent the increase of that religious animosity to which recent events had already given an impetus, and had they wished to prevent collision, and to allay irritation, they would have abstained from any public proces sion at such a time. But there are many little circumstances about the case which induce us to believe that the Irish party expected they would be interfered with in their procession by the authorities or by the people of the town, and they intended to take advantage of such interference as a grievance to be redressed. The perfect quietness and forbearance of the Protestants, however, baffled their design, IRISH JUSTICE AT SIX-MILE-BRIDGE THE announcement that a gentleman acting as a Justice of the Peace, together with a body of s wearing her MAJESTY'S uniforn, and receiving her MAJESTY'S pay, have been found guilty by one of the regularly constituted tribunals of the country, of a series of wilful murders in the open day, is sufficiently appalling. When, however, it is dis covered that the scene of the tragedies was in Ire land, that the time was during an election, and that the condemning tribunal was an Irish coroner's jury, horror and surprise partly give way to curiosity. Accustomed as we unfortunately have been to hear of all kinds of crimes of violence in the "Sister Isle"—usual as it has been for juries there to trifle with their oaths for the purpose of shielding the guilty against deserved punishment —no one could have been prepared for so audaciously dishonest and deliberate a perversion of judgment, for the purpose, not of saving the guilty, but of condemn ing the innocent, as is to be found in the monstrous verdict of the coroner's jury at the inquest at Six- MILE-BRIDGE. It is altogether unnecessary for our present purpose to consider whether the soldiers displayed on the occasion of the recent election riot all the forbearance and patience which it was de sirable to exercise on so critical an occasion, and whether, in the utmost strictness of law, their con duct in firing upon the mob was entirely justifiable, although in truth there seem to be good grounds for absolving them from even technical criminality. But there is a very great variety of shades of guilt in homicide, and there is a vast interval between homicide of merely technical culpability and wilful, malicious murder. The jury at Sex— MILE-BR IDG E, composed of seventeen men, have, by a majority of 12 against 5, upon their oaths de clared that Mr. DELMEGE, the magistrate, who had charge of the voters, attacked the mob, and eight soldiers of the 31st Regiment, who fired upon it, are severally guilty of six wilful murders. We shall not trouble our readers by entering into the details of the case, for the purpose of showing that there was not sufficient evidence of the identity of the parties accused with those who had killed the victims ; or that the firing did not take place till after orders had been received from a person reasonably believed to be a magistrate com petent to give such orders. Whether the right men have been selected or not, and whether or not the party were entirely justifiable, and, therefore, inno cent, it is clear that there was not one circumstance in the case which could give a colour to a suspicion that the performers in the tragedy were actuated by malice in fact, or were guilty of that species of un provoked recklessness from which the law implies malice. It was perfectly apparent that the only issue raised by the evidence was one of justifiable or unjustifiable manslaughter. So, indeed, the case was left by the coroner, who laid down the law and pointed out the duty of the jury in the most lucid and impartial manner. Alluding to the contradictory character of the evidence, that learned functionary remarked to the What, we ask, is the position of the public with respect to the ma tt er ? It is coolly assumed that jury — we have nothi ng t o d o but look on whilst these " However, gentle men , th ere i s one po i nt clear—that , a a s n sa a il t e t d ac w k it w h a s s to m ne a s Le th u a p t o t n he ti c ie orp e o s cra or w—atshkantoethkeeyd downwere us both as r es p ec t s t h e i r charges and the facilities companies con so lid a t e t h eir monopolies, and place and severely cut—that two soldiers were violently at. tacked—that the reins and bridles were cut, and an they may choose to dole out to us, entirely at their attempt made to cut the traces with knives.

RAILWAY AMALGAMATION WHEN ti this countr Railwaysystem was first introduced into ', and the iron road and thelocomotive were permitted to supersede the Macadam and the stage-coach, it was foreseen that there might be a )1y being created ; and the legis- danger of monc conditions for the Lbility, imposed ,n of the public rates of toll allowed to be charged for the various classes of goods and passengers were limited ; and various regulat of injury to the person The gement own for the preven arising from improper first plea urged in behalf of the formation of any nL required by the district throe e was, that it was which it was to be carried; and the next plea, that it would remunerate ked their capital in it. Botb these those who mbar t was indispensable to ha proved, before Par- t could in justice grant to companies the ' and carve the land of private owners at their discretion ; and we all remember what power to cut hosts of engineers, surveyors, valuers, and traff, agents used every session to be seen bustling about the committee-rooms of Parliament, brimful of cs, and prepared to prove the pro or con, of statist any required proposition, according to the par- ticular lines on which they happened to be engaged. Upon this principle, and thus jealously watched by the legislature, the first great trunk lines of the kingdom were established After a few years however, new districts, and new companies, who had observed their successful working, began to demand the accommodation of branches or junctions, , • , which were, in many instances, resisted as being unlikely to be remunerative. The public and the capitalist at length proceeded to ask for additional main lines; and now began the struggle between ..., the parent companies to decide which of them was to get hold of the new traffic thus created. Line after line was granted—all of which were to 1 "independent," and to confer immense advantage upon the public —yet all, reluctantly, by the per mission of the legislature, were absorbed by one or other of the now gigantic companies. At length came the mania of 1845 and 1846, when the doctrine of competition was put forward, and it was con ended that there could not be an excess of railway The scheme was at that time so wild or facilities visionary that support ers could not he found willing to embark in them, chiefly induced, however, by the expectation that they would ultimately be bought up by one or other of the trunk lines. The fact that Mr. HUDSON, or Mr, GLYN, or any other of our railway magnates, had been seen talking to a director or a solicitor of any worthless scheme, put thousands in the pockets of the fortunate holders of shares in that scheme; and Stock Exchange gambling 1 1ecame a trade, into which thousands of the most respectable men rushed, to the disgrace of the mercantile and even the national character of' the country. The issue all prudent men foresaw. A collapse took place, and some hundreds of bubble schemes burst at once, entailing only ruin upon their authors. A considerable number of a more respectable and feasible character had already received the assent of Parliament and been commenced. The bulk of these were at the time under arrangements with, or have since been purchased or leased by, the boards of the competing trunk lines, thus depriving the public of the full extent of the facilities to which they were entitled. The first result of this madness was that the dividends of the trunk companies, which had been as high as ten or twelve per cent., sunk to two or three per cent., and, in a few instances, to nothing. They had become hampered with guarantees to a host of branches and junctions, which were a source of loss instead of profit ; and they were, at the same time, engaged in a fierce competition with each other to secure the largest possible amount of the traffic of the cuuntry through which they ran• On one side the Great Western Company were invading some particular district which the London and North-Western had considered as its own. g O r n a s t p h s e o o m th e e, d r i s t tr h i e o t a fr t o t emr the u•as Great-e s t e extendin gv n cs t i e t r s n a , r mto s The • ....MI.. " Battle of tilt Guages," and the ruinous expenditure incurred, and still being incurred, in carrying it on, will be a startling incident in the history of railway enterprise, or rather railway folly. Within the past fortnight an event has occurred I which is of the very deepest import to the public. This is no other than a proposition between these companies for the erection of a monopoly, probably the most gigantic that the world has ever seen. The Great Western and the London and North- Western Boards, through their respective chairmen, have declared in the language of PEACHANI and LocKJT—" Brother, brother, we have both been in the wrong," and propose to shake hands an d cease their ruinous rivalry. A similar fraternization is, it seems, about to take place between the Midland and the Great Northern. As yet the precise terms of neither of these amalgamations have been arranged. But we may regard an early agreement as certain ; and we are boastingly informed that no difficulty will be found in procuring for it the sanction of the Legislature.
