PRIGLITFUL OUTRAGE—DESTRUCTION OF A WHOLE PA WII% —We have received the following extract of a letter from exford :—" The civilised county of Wexford has presented a h lt'ne worthy of ranking with Scullabogue. On Thursday - `.?,ht, a large armed party surrounded and set fire to the house , a man named Haddocks, within eight miles of the town of exford. There were in the house, Maddocks, his wife, a son Arid daughter grown up, and two children, together with two t°licemen, who had been placed there for protection, it having \.7eh burned before in August last.

BARoN CHASSE.—A correspondent states, on the authority of a gentleman who resiaed souse years in Holland in his youth, that Baron Chasse, the Governor of Antwerp, is a grandson of the celebrated Paul Jones. if so, he is the right stuff for a good tussle.—Leeds Intelligences-. How TO SHOOT FLYING.—A gentleman in the adjoining county - of Flint, was out shooting not long since, accompanied by a neighbouring gamekeeper ; while out, he accideutaiiy met a young friend of his who had no gun of his own. The tatter took up his friend's gun for an instant, and a pack of grouse having got up while he held it, he shot and brought down one. For this offence he was informed against by the worthy game keeper, and convicted in the penalty for shooting without a game certificate in his pocket.—(Hester Chronicle SIR JOHN'S DILEMMA.—The source of the dilemmain which Sir John Hobhouse . finds himself involved as to the next West minster election, is exactly that which attaches to' the whole Whig party—viz. the deserting when in office those principles which are made the step-ladder to place. instances in proof of this are too numerous and too rife to need enumerating. Their mischief is incalculable, as they tend not . only to bring into contempt one particular party, but to destroy public confidence in the whole race of public men of all parties.—Herald. SUNDAY TRADING.—A society has been formed in London to put down Sunday trading, and to promote the better ob servance of the Sabbath. Sir Andrew Agnew is at the head of it, and it proposes to petition Parliament to pass au act to enforce the object of the society. Sir Andrew stated at the meeting on Tuesday week, that the present law was useless, the magistrates having in several cases tined persons one shil ling, for keeping their shops open oh Sunday, who declared that by their breach of the taws they gained fifteen or twenty pounds. • THE. WEST INDIES.—The calumniators of the West India proprietors and planters in Gloucestershire have been most signally defeated by Mr. Borthwick on several occasions. At Cheltenham, at Gloucester, and at Stroud, Mr. Borthwick has lectured with very great effect, and to the utter discomfiture of his' opponents. At-Stroud, especially,. the numbers who have been undeceived as to the real state of the slaves in the West Indies is extraordinary. When the manufacturer comes to compare the condition of the negro with the condition of the English workman, he ceases to think of the horrors of negro slavery.—Old England. PLEDGES.—The members of Parliament are not, before hand, to make any compacts or undertakings what they will do or not do; but what shall be propounded among them when they are met together, that is to be considered by them, that they are to deliberate upon. And after a free debate in full Parliament, as their judgments shall be swayed by reason, and as God shall put it into their hearts, so they are to ordain; and therefore it is said, "shall happen to be ordained." The mem bers come not to. Parliament prepared' or bespoken beforehand, but as free couuceliors, to give their votes as their reason shall be satisfied; as they judge will most promote the public good. —Whitelock's Notes on'the King's Itrrit. A WIFE IMMusiED,—The Dunkirk Journal; gives the follow ing from Ilondschoote :—" A magistrate of this canton being lately called on to affix seals upon the effects of a person who had recently died, was with his assistants making the usual examination of his apartments, when he came into a dark room a few feet square, and there found, alive, the wife of the deceased, who had not - been heard of for upwards of 15 years, during which time she had been shut up where she was disco vered. Judicial inquiries are being made as to this extraordi nary incarceration." COLD WATER IN CHOLERA—Drs. Massy and M'Credie, who have been engaged with cholera patients iu Kilkee Hos pital, Ireland, have in the latter part of their practice; adopted the treatment of admistering large draughts of cold water, as recommended by Dr. Shute. The result of such treatment has been eminently successful in the worst stages of collapse, and with all the symptoms strikingly marked. Drs. M. and M'C. have expressed their entire confidence in this system, as a safe and simple remedy in this formidable and desolating malady, if promptly and properly put into operation. SALUTARY EFFECT OF CILASTIE:MENT.—A Burclettite cor respondent of the Globe says—" The proceedings of yesterday's meeting, (that at the Crown and Anchor, where the two Radi cal Ea;onets Burdett and Ilobhouse, were so unmercifully hooted for having metamorphosed themselves into mock Con servatives) will do much to confirm in the estimation of many persons the belief that large assemblies for deliberative pur_ poses are quite useless—au opinion with which, lam sorry to say' my experience of the present mode of behaviour at many of them obliges me relucianetly to concur." Miracles will never cease. These peop.e will positively in time learn to speak the language of common sense. GOOD FOR EVIL.—An old man, of the name of Guyot, lived and died in the town of Marseilles; he amassed a large fortune by the most laborious industry and the severest habits of absti nence and privation. The populace pursued him, whenever he appeared, with hootings and execrations. In his will, there were mound the following words :—" Having observed, nom my infancy, that the poor of Marseilles are ill-supplied with water, which can only be purchased at a great price, 1 have cheerfully laboured the whole of my life, to procure for them this great blessing; and I direct that the whole of my property be laid out in builuing an aqueduct for their use."—Thoughts on Lattyhter. NOBLE INSTANCE OF BENEVOLENCE.—At a Court Baron for the manor of Frome East Woodiands, appeared a poor man who held by lease under the Marquis of Bath au estate on lives, of which all bad died in the space of a few months: The poor man, who has a large family, had nearly 1;20 to pay for the herirkt, which sum he solicited his lordship to forgive him, as he was .0 able to pay it. • Ile applied at the above Court, to his lordship's steward, tor an answer. '1 he steward said as he had been so Unfortunate his lordship would relinquish his claim to the heriot, and added. "1 have somethingomore to communicate to you from his lordship, who was directed me to give you £5O, which was immediately done.—llevizes Gazette. SELDEN bad once intended to give his library to the Univer sity of Oxford, and had left it so by his will; but, having occa sion for a manuscript, which belonged to their library, - they asked of him the customary bond of £lOOO for its restitution: this he took so ill at their hands, that he struck out that part of his will by which he had given them his library, and with some passion declared that thc) should never have it. he executors (of whom Sir Matthew lia:e was one) stuck at this a litt.e, hut, having considered better of it, came to this resolution ; that they were to be the executuo of Mr. Seldeu's will, and not of his. passion;—so they made good.. what he had intendedin evict blood, and passed over what his passion .had suggested .to him. — This collection of books, at the time, was valued at some thou sands of pounds, and now forms a valuable part of the magni ficent Bodleian Library at Oxford. • . . LIBERTY AND LICENTIOUSNESS.—There is a very peculiar contrariety between those vices which consist in excess, and the virtues of which they arc said to be the excess and resem blance,_ and whose names they affect to bear; the excess of any thing being always to its hurt, and tending to its destruction. In this manner, licentiousness is, in its very nature, a present infringement upon liberty, and dangerous to it for the future. A particular man may be licentious .without being less free; but a community cannot: since the licentiousness of one will una voidably break in upon the liberty of another. Civil liberty, the liberty of a community is a severe, and a restrained thing; implies, in the very notion of it, authority, settled suboraina tions, subjection and obedience; and is altogether as .much hurt by too little of this kind, as by too mucn. The love of liberty that is note rtal principle if dutiful teh.ariour to autho rity is as hypocritical as the 7 eligion- that is VOt productive of a good lff . e.—Biship Butler. ARTIFICE OF AN ATTORNEY.—A prosecution, instituted by the Stamp-office, against the. proprietor of the Lim :11,1 Chic nide, has excited a good deal-of interest in Dublin. Some time since an attorney procured to be inserted, in two copies of that paper, an advertisement of a sale, which he desired to keep private,•but which had been directed by the Master in Chancery to be advertised. It is supposed that, after the usual impression of the paper bad been struck off, he iodneed some of the printers to set up the advertisement, and print these two copies, one of which was produced in Court, to satisfy the Mas ter that his order bad been eionplied with, and the other re mained in possession of the author of the trick. A sale took place, at which, of course, not many persons attended, and the property was knocked off much under the value. Ihe circum stance came to light shortly after, and a trial at bar led to the production of the registered copy filed at the Stamp-office, that. it might be compared with that produced in Court, ..and, upon examination, awns found not to contain the advertisement. Upon this ground the Stamp-office.have instituted proceedings against Mr. Watson,. the proprietor of the •Chiviti&. LiFg . i 5 Tita CITADEL.—Chasse is an extremely affable old fellow; nevertheless in many of the affairs of life, lie has acted very strangely. Ile married a rich English lady, by whom he had two children , who died; he used to beat his wife in the life time of his children ; and she put up with this on their ac count; but after their death she sued fora divorce. During the process he married, pretending that his union with his first wife was not a legal one; a second process ensued, and he was mulcted in the sum of 1,500 florins. Chasse has always courted the society of ladies. He returns home very often with ladies to whom he gives suppers, insisting that his wife shall preside at the table. The wife of one of his Aides-de-Camp, and his own daughter of the age of 16, a fine young woman, are now in the citadel to make it pleasant. These ladies culti vate in this place all the arts of pleasing,, and have music by choice:' Chasse knows more about what is passing in Antwerp than the whole authorities put together. It is evident that he has spies in all parts of the city, who are constantly on the look out, and who report to him the result of their enquiries.—Bel gian, Paper. LOCAL. Captain Sanders, of the ship Spartan, now lying in the Prince's Dock, has brought home a beautiful young leopard. ARMY.—Two companies of the 18th foot arrived in Man chester on Friday from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and are to re main there until further orders. It is with pleasure we learn that Miss Crisp, of our Theatre- Royal, is performing with very great success in the midland counties. Her performances at Hereford, last week, drew crowded and fashionable houses. Amongst the names of the gentlemen upon whom degrees were conferred last week, in Oxford, we observe that of Thomas Shaw, Esq., as Master of Arts. We believe this to be our worthy common councilman of that name. TURN-OUT OF COLLIERS.—A great number of the colliers at the pits in the neighbourhood of Oldham, left their employ on Saturday week, owing to a dispute which has arisen between them. and their employers, respecting an equalization of the size of the measures used in the mines. Part of the turn-outs went to work again on Thursday morning. Tfm ROTHSAY CASTLE.—We understand that the trial of Mr: William Watson's action against Captain Colquitt, R.N., for the publication of a statement relative to the wreck of the Rothsay Castle steam-boat, comes on on the Bth instant. A great number of witnesses from Beaumaris, this town, and other parts, "have been subpoenaed by Captain Colquitt. The cause will be tried in the Court of Exchequer, London. It is exected to create great interest among the numerous surviving relations of the unfortunate individuals who met with a watery grave upon that occasion. CAUTION.-IMPOSTOR.-A woman is in the habit of going about soliciting charity with a deaf girl, stating she is a widow with two children. One of these children, it appears, is illegi timate. Her custom is to state that had she clothes for the girl she could get her into the Deaf and Dumb Society. She has repeatedly been assisted . with clothes, but, as soon as got, the pawnbroker gets them. As a further statement, she says she is not able to keep the girl, and, if she could get the girl off her hands, she would go to her parish in Wales. This is a complete falsehood, for she keeps the girl for the purpose of travelling the country for her support.. Her dress, - blue cloak ; and, as a cover, she carries a little pipeclay for sale.—Chronicle. CAUTION TO ACCOUNTANTS.—At a Court held at Lancaster, on Tuesday last, before William John Law, Esq., for the relief of insolvent debtors, Robert Fitton, of Bury, accountant, ap plied to be discharged. he circumstances of the case, as stated by Mr. Venables, and fully proved by a witness, were, that the insolvent was appointed accountant to the bankrupt estate of Samuel Nuttall ; and at the audit meeting he appeared before the commissioners, and produced his account of receipts and payments, which showed a balance in the insolvent's hands due to the estate of £6B, in addition to the money in the bank. At a dividend meeting, on the 30th July last, the insolvent did not make his appearance, or send any account respecting the £t;8: which sum the commissioners charged the assignees with, in making a 'dividend in August last. The insolvent admitted these facts, and the commissioners ordered the insolvent to be remanded for nine months from the filing of his petition. CAPTAN SKINNER.—The body of this unfortunate and la mented gentleman was found on Sunday, at one o'clock, on the beach, within three miles of Holyhead. The head was off; but the body was recognised by the want of the right arm, which he lost in the taking of New York, in the year 1176, and a scar on the left here is no doubt that sonic wretches had plun dered the corpse, as a gold watch, which was given to Captain Skinner by the Duke of Northumberland. a gold chain, and a considerable sum in sovereigns, which were on his person, are not to befound. "His remains were brought to Holyhead, and deposited in the bone-house adjoining the church, and were af terwards removed to his own house on Sunday morning. On Monday, at four o'clock, an inquest was held on the body, and a verdict of accidental death returned. The funeral took place immediately after, by candle light, and the body was buried in the same grave with his sister, Mrs. Barbaric. ' I N C E NDIARISAI.—During . the night of Friday last, a l arge hay-stack, upon the farm o f Mr. J. Counsell, of Lammack, near this town, was totally consumed by fire. When the alarm was first given the stack was in flames on every side, and there can be no doubt that the event has been the work Of incendiaries, actuated, as we are sorry to add, by political motives. Mr. Counsel is a man firmly attached to the good old principles, and had, when solicited, refused to promise his vote to Dr. Bow ring. He was afterwards told that he must expect to suffer for his obstinacy, and we suppose the diabolical outrage we are re cording is the fulfilment of that threat, and the commencement of that unsocial warfare by which a certain party hope to wrig gle themselves into Parliament. Doubtless this stroke was in tended to intimidate : but we can tell the perpetrators and the instigators that they have failed in their object. Not only is Counsell determined to maintain the integrity of his principles, but others also, seeing the necessity of, at some time or other, making a stand against the system of terror to which it is wished to subject the country, have resolved to do so at once, and have, consequently, now declared their intention to vote according to their consciences for the conservative candidate. We are glad to state that a subscription has already been spi ritedly set on foot, for the purpose of reimbursing Counsel for the damage he has sustained ; and measures have been taken which will, we trust, speedily lead to the discovery and appre hension of the perpetrators of the foul deed.—Blackburn Alfred. _ . ST. HELEN'S AND RUNCORN GAP RAILWAY.—On Wednes day last a train of coal-waggons started from the Broad Oak Collieries, at the northern extremity of the St. Helen's and Runcorn Gap Railway, and passed along the line to the docks constructing at Runcorn Gap, and were there discharged into a vessel, which left the docks the foLowin...o. tide. Although the wagons travelled the extreme length of the line, it is not con sidered as a Cut resulted in a wager between a - coal proprietor and the resident engineer of the Sankey Canal; the former gentleman persisting that it would be possible to convey a ves sel load of coals to the Mersey, by this railway, before the first of December. It is needless to say that this was accomplished. The train was accompanied by Peter Greenall, Esq., the chair man of the company. Thomas Kidd, Esq.,' of Widnes, and seyCral other directors of the line, and performed the journey under the direction of Mr. George Thornton, the resident engi neer of the railway and docks. These gentlemen were accom panied by the highly respectable contractors for the execution of the line, Messrs. Nowell, Thornton, and SeA, together with a number of the Workmen and inhabitants of the neighbourhood of the railway. _ _ _ _ . . Cu ARGE OF Cu IL 1.1 S TEA LING.-A blind Irishman, who called himself Joseph Welsh, was brought before the magistrates at the New Bailey, on Tuesday, on suspicion of having stolen a child from Liverpool. It appeared 'that the prisoner went to a lodging-house iu Parliament-street, on Monday evening, with a fine girl, about six years of age, whom lie called hisdaughter; but the child, as soon as she saw the mistress of the house, burst into tears, and said, that she had been taken that morning from her mother's house, in Liveapool, by the prisoner, who had given her a penny to say that her name was Susannah Welsh, and had brought her to Manchester by the railway. The woman at the lodging-house remembered that the. prisoner called there about four months ago, when he told her that he had neither wife nor child; she, therefore, gave credit to the girl's tale, and caused Welsh to he placed in custody, in order that some further inquiry might be made. Mr. Foster ques tioned the girl at some length, as to the truth of her story, when she confirmed all that she had previously said, adding, that her name was Susannah Murphy; that her father was dead, and that - her mother lived in Short,street, Marybone, Liverpool, and obtained her livelihood by washing. In his defence, the prisoner declared that the girl was his own daughter, in proof of which he referred to the overseers of Stockport, where he wad, two years ago, a patient in the Dispensary, - his wife, at the same time, lying-in at th e W or khouse, and whence the whole family were removed to Ireland immediately afterher recovery. Xit l uster ordered him to be remanded till Thursday, and di rected the overseers to make the necessary inquiries both at Li verpool and Stockport, th e g i r l , i n t h e niean time, being taken -ewe of by the woman from the lodging-house, who expressed much interest in her fate. Welsh was again brought up on. Thursday and discharged, a s it h a d b een as certained that his story about being removed from Stockport was correct; but the overseers who gave this information added, that they believed him to lie one of da9- greatest impostors that :had ever visited their town. The girl was given up to him.—Manchester Couriv.. ELECTION NEWS. IIA awlcu.—Mr. Towers, one of the ministerial or radical candidates for Harwich has backed out we find. Pt appears that one conservative at least is sure here. WESTMINSTER.—It is rumoured, that if Colonel Evans per severes in his opposition to Sir John Cam Hobhouse; Sir George Cockburn, or Sir George Murray, or both, will be . put in nomination for Westminster.—Moriziny Post. . WIGAN.—The three candidates for Wigan are Mr. Thick nesse, one of the present members, Mr. Richard Potter, and ' Mr. Whittle editor sf a radical print at Manchester. We are told that the latter has not much chance, but intends to proceed in opposition to Mr. Potter. WARKINGTON.—Within the last ten days, the committee for conducting the election of Mr. Blackburne, have been very successful in their canvass, and they now consider that they have such a majority of promised votes, as will ensure his success. _ BASINGSTOKE.—We learn that the Marquis of Douro and Mr. Walter Long have been canvassing the basingstoke voteis this week, and that the numerous offers of support already re ceived, and the increasing success of the general canvass, as sure to these gentlemen the desired result. PONTEFRACT.—John Gully, Esq., of Ackworth-park, throWs up his hat for Pontefract. Mr. Gully enters the political ring as a reformer, and proposes to set to with either Lord Mex. borough or the Hon. Mr. Jerningham, the other two candidates —most likely the noble lord, as the other is a Whig. BIRMINGIIAM.—We do not exactly understand, whether there be one or:two conservative candidates at Birmingham. We stated last week, that Mr. Horseley Palmer and Mr. Clarke 'were in the field against the Rads, but we have seen an account since which states that the latter gave plate to Mr. Palmer, and this we think is the most likely version. COMFORT FOR CANDIDATES.—It is said that the Northamp tonshire contest has cost each of the rival candidates not Jess than £lO,OOO already! 0, most economising reform bill! Mr. Tryon, a sound conservative, disputes the northern division of Northamptonshire with Lord Milton. and there is little doubt of his success. He has our best wishes. EAST SOMERSET ELECTION.—The friends of Mr. Miles, and supporters of the true interests of their country, will be gratified to hear the success that that gentleman met with during his canvass on Wednesday and Thursday last, at Banwell, IN one, and Wick-St.-Lawrence, he having a large majority in each parish in his favour. In the latter place there is not one vote against him. WESTERN DIVISION Or GLOUCESTERSHIRE.—A number of gentlemen, farmers, and yeomen, ainouuting to upwards of fifty staunch supporters of Lord Edward Somerset, one of the candidates for this division of the county, dined together at Frampton Cotterell, on Tuesday, the 20th inst., Capt. Shute in the chair, and the most enthusiastic feeling in his Lordship's cause prevailed throughout the evening. • OLDHAM.—In accordance with a highly . respectable requisi tion, Mr. Burge has consented to be nominated a candidate for this borough, on conservative principles. He arrived here on Sunday evening, and during his stay he intends to sojourn with John Taylor, Esq., of higher Groves. On Monday even ing he addressed a few friends at the Committee-room, Swan Inn, and developed his political views, which were extremely well received. He has met with the support of the most weal thy and influential voters in the borough, and his personal can vass will no doubt add considerably to his chances of success. NOTTINGHAM.—It appears that the county of Nottingham will do something for the conservative cause, but from the Not tinghamshire towns we fear a considerable majority of Whigs and Radicals will be sent up. With respect to the county, Mr. Houldsworth is, said to be safe in the north, and Lord Lincoln in the south. The opponents of the former are Lord Lumley and Colonel Gardiner, and those of the latter, Mr. Denison and Mr. Morton. Then Mr. Gladstone will be returned for New ark ; but the other member (Mr. Handley) will be ministerial; so will Mr. Vernon and Lord Newark for Bassetlaw;_ and, as we suppose, both the members for the town of Nottingham also. Lord Duneannon is named for the latter place. PRESTON.—It is fully expected here that the election will take place the week after . next, and, in consequence, ad i s pre paration for the coming contest. We stated last week that there were five candidates 7 -there. are five still, and all most confident of success. Four out of the five have, indeed, all more or less reason to look forward with hope, but really we are at a loss to understand upon what support it is that the fifth leans. We allude to Mr. Crompton, whoin we were led to look upon as out of the field, but that learned gentleman has published, within the past eighband-forty.hours, a confident address, in which .he seriously assures the constituency, that he fully ex pects to be their 10.Witli representative in the course of a few days. This is beyond our comprehension. The lower orders are notoriously for I lunt and I orbes, and, as to the higher, be- Yond a few personal friends, we apprehend Mr. Crompton has not one respectable vote, the whole being pledged either to Mr. Hesketh neetwood or Mr. Stanley. however, Mr. Crompton himself is confident, and if so he has a right to go on. It has been rumoured during the week, that Mr. Hunt and the Car lain have quarrelled—certainly they left the town by different routes after having prepared to depart together. Mr. Hunt gave a lecture on Whig government on Saturday night.—. Pilot. GRAND CONSERVATIVE MEETING AT WICKHAM MARKET. —On Thursday, the '29th ult., 'a meeting of the Conservatives of the eastern division of the county of Suffolk was hoiden at the above place, for the purpose of requesting the night Lord Henniker and Sir C. broke Vere to permit themselves to be put in nomination as candidates to represent that division of the county in the ensuingyailiameut. Sir William Middleton, Bart. took the chair, and in a neat and impressive speech intro duced Lord ,Henniker and Sir.Charies.N ere to the meeting. These gentlemen were received with repeated acclamations. After the applause had subsided, Lord Henniker addressed the meeting, and after briefly returning thanks, expressed his devo tion to the Conservative and 'Tory interests; lie was followed. by Sir C. Vere, who eloquently dest•ribad- the necessity of exer tion in the - present crisis. Sir kerrison, Sir 1 1 . Broke, Sir C. Blair, and several other gentlenten, addressed the meeting, which was most numerously - attended, and they separated with the most confident feeling of - success. The 'number of registered votes fur this district is -12 W ; -the number. of signatures to the requisition to the Right lion. Lord Henniker and Sir C. Vere already amounts to 1350.. When it is recollected that, not a week has elapsed since any deciSive steps were taken by the Conservative party, and that even till the day of meeting it was not known whether the right hon. Lord and the gallant Colonel would accede to the wishes of tho part y , it is perfectly astonish ing to have to announce the success .that has .attended these initiatory proceedings; a success that has exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the most sanguite. When it is called to mind that this measure of conservation originated, and was at first mainly supported, by the yeomanry of the county, our surprise diminishes; they pakess so large a share of intellect and influence that if they wilt act accoraing to the decisions of their best feelings, they must, without, doubt, insure success to the cause which they advocate. • DERBY.—ATTACK ON SIR R. GT:EIST:F.I. 7 ---On lilonday week, • Sir Roger Greisley made a public entry:into Lerby. He had come to Derby for the purpose of dining vi - ;( 1 4.111is committee and friends. An excellent band of mosie was in attendance, and a variety of sp.endid silk liags,• inscribed with appropriate mottos, worked specially fur the_occasion, gave notch anima tion to the procession. The route of the -procession I:roin St. Mary's Gate, was down the Iron Gate,,turii - •"Market, .up St. Peter's-street, liabbington-lane, and en to tie liurten-road, within a short distance of the toll-bar. -I-tereSir -, Roger Greis lev's carriage, containing the honourahle,barote4 and Colonel Ciaufard, joined the ‘ cavalcade. We reg,ret to bay, that a great concourse of persons, who had preceded,. and:, others _who fol lowed the procession front the town, repclti.jix..anuoyed the gentlemen forming it, here broke out into the Most disgraceful and riotous proceedings which it has ever been our duty to re cord. Immediately on Sir Roger joining his friends, they were unmercifully assailed by stones, brick -oats; and...every miss il e which could be collected together by the. mob. Great (puma • ties of rubbish had been previously gathered for the purpose, and piles of stones were placed for the avowed purl:Wise of com mitting desperate acts. It may readily be 'supposed, that many of the gentlemen were very seriously wounded, and that scarcely any one escaped from injury of some description. A furious attack was made on• Sir .Roger Greisley's carriage, and had not the honourable baronet been bravely protected by a number of persons surrounding him as he sat, so as to completely hide hint front the mob, the outrage would probably have been dreadful.. Thess insults continued during the progress of the cavalcade into the town; at several convenient places the most violent attempts were made 'to disperse it., and to become possessed of. the flags.. On passing the Market Head, Sir Roger recei v ed a. cut on the upper lip from a stone. When the party arrived at the County Tavern, a most determined attack again commenced, and every one who attempted to enter the inn, was assailed by stones and bricks, to the imminent danger of their lives. 11.1% worship the mayor, with the most prompt attention, instantly assembled the police, and took such steps as eyeutually led to the dispersion of the riotous multitude, and the' pre.vention of any recurrence of their scandalous proceedings.—Staprokire Advertiser.
