On looking farther, she discovered her eldest son dead in the beJ, but could not perceive any trace of her infant child, who was, however, shortly afterwards discovered to have been drowned in the rain butt. There is no doubt whatever but that the unfortunate father proceeded to the garden instantly on leaving his bed-room, and h•wing drowned the child, then ascended to the children's room, where he afterwards perpetrated the other murder, com mitting suicide the moment an alarm was raised. As no vital organ has b-en severed, hopes are entertained that the younger boy's life will be saved. There seems to be little doubt that, owing to their privations, temoorary nsanity was the immediate cause of this shocking affair, as his pecuniary emharrasso:ents had for some weeks pas induced great depression of spirits. DREADFUL ASSASSINATION. - Yesterday morning, )on after six o'clock, a man named James Bostock, who d gun-metal funnier, in a narto from Drury-lane, London, was a: sassinated by a young man named Wix, his apprentice. Wix had obtained payment of a small bill due to his mas ter, and stated on his return home that he had lust Ils. of the money, and begged his master to deduct it from him at 2s. 6d. per week. This Bostock refused to do, and deducted the whole snm from his wages on Saturday night last. This circumstance created a rancorous feel jug against his master in the mind of ❑d in reveng he shot his master with a pistol yesterday morning.

It appeared that the liabilities of the company were about £350,000, and their assets £300,000 ; shewing a deficiency of £50,000, which loss will have to be borne by the shar holders FATHER AND SON KILLED.—OR Saturday week, at Shotton Moor Colliery, Durham, a man named, Brown, aged 50, and his son; aged 16, were being lowered down —a,— +ho e.l-,oin hrrard._ ntirl they wvre nrecioitated iterwards found quite with their bodies crushed to pieces All the best clocks that are now made in America are constructed with wooden pendulums, which are but little subjected to the influence of heat, and, as such, the rate of these horological machines is much improved.

The business being concluded, Mr. JACKSON said that at the last meeting he had inti mated his intention to resign the office of chairman, but he now begged permission, under the circumstances, to withdraw that intention. (Loud cheers.) He defied those parties who had made unfoundei charges against him to substantiate them, and declared that so long as he pos sessed the confidence of the sharrholders he would'not desert them. Applause.) The meeting then broke up. by fear a tempt to ship. This is all delusion. The true cause of their inertness is the severity of the frost, which would spoil the potatoes between the barnyard pnd the wharf. Some farmers have sent supplies into the market. The potatoes sell at the exporting price, say 16s. per boll. To appease the populace, Mr. Fraser. farmer, called the town crier to advertise the inhabitants that whoever wished to purchase potatoes might be supplied by him with any quantity they wanted. BANNS OF MARRIAGE FORBIDDEN.—At Great Whit ley Church, on Sunday, the Ist instant, the bans of mar riage between Thomas Bowen and Elizabeth Stringer were publicly forbidden by the mother of the intended wo Sundays previously, but as soon as 'be reverend divine had corn- he thir Bowen into the middle of the church, and exclaimed in a loud voice, to the utter astonishment of the clergyman and congregation, including also those occupying the pew of royalty, " I forbid the banns in this church and all others." The reverend gentleman, for a moment or so, was in a "fix," but as soon as he recovered himself he told the old lady he would see her in the vestry after ser vice. We have not since heard the result.—On Sunday week, when the officiating minister at the parish church, Stockton, was publishing a long list of names of candi dates for connubial bliss, and in the act of pronouncing the names of a certain couple, an individual present ex claimed, in a loud stentorian voice, " I forbid the banns." On being afterwards requested to state the " why and the wherefore" he said the " would be" bridegroom was his son, and that he was only 18 years of age. The next day, however, matters were amicably arranged between the pariies, and the indissoluble knot has since been tied. ROYAL COLLEGE OF CHYMISTRY.--His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Colonel Wylde, on Thursday visited the laboratories of the Royal College of Chymistry, where he was met by Professors Hoffman, Brande, and Taylor, and Mr.,Benjamin Bond Cabbell. His royal highness made a very minute inspection of the laboratories and examined every student as to the point they had reached in the systematic course of study adopted. He then witnessed a selection of interesting experiments, in cluding the method of analyzing organic. compounds, known as Liebeg's organic combustion. His royal high ness, being well acquainted with the present - state of the science of chymistry, has, from the first projection of the College of Chymistry, afforded it his support. After spending more than an hour in the laboratory, his royal highness met Lords Palmerston, Hill, Newry and Marne, and Ebrington, Sir J. J. Guest, Sir James Clark, Hon. W. B. Baring, M. P., J. Denison, NI. P., Mr. W. Ewart, M. P., and presided at a meeting of the council. The principal resolution passed at this meeting was that the building of the laboratories be commenced t ,, rtitwith. His royal highness then inspected the site for the labora tories and the plans of Mr. Lockyer, the architect, and expressed his approbation of all the arrangements for the establishment of the institution, and added a second dona_ ion of £lOO to the building fund. The lambing season this year has been exceedingly favourable. The earliest lambs obtained were from the Dorset ewes, and from the mild state of the weather they have continued on the grass lands, and are now in a for ward state. Among the south down ewes lambing is now very general. The lambs ate dropped very strong. and more than the average number of twins are produced. Sheep feed is very abundant in most counties, and should the weather remain in its present mildness, the couples will continue in their folds, and lambs will be ready for the markets much earlier than usual. THE WARWICKSHIRE MURDER.—The examination of Reed, who was apprehended on Friday week, at Bir mingham, on suspicion of having murdered Thomas Tran ter, a farmer at Berkswell, twelve weeks ago, took place at Solihull, near Birmingham, on Monday. The magis trates took the examination privately, and the accused was remanded. He has always been described as a fresh coloured young lad, of eighteen years of age, but now is very haggard looking, and has the appearance of having suffered much privation. He was apprehended by a milk man, named Pane, in Dale-end, Birmingham, that person having previously known him. SENTENCE ON A RETURNED TRANSPORT.—A few months ago, a convict, named John Potter, surrendered himself at the Mansion-house, London, and alleged that he was an escaped convict from New South Wales. He said he had a great chance of liberty, but he wished to surrender himself, and be sent back to the colony. He was aware of the dreadful sufferings of the convicts, yet he would not shrink from suffering if he could effect good to others. The fact was, that since he got away, he had been converted ; and, feeling the sinful and degraded state in which convicts lived, he thought that, if he again went over amongst them, he should prove an instrument of much good. Great sympathy was felt, and Sir James Graham was applied to for a pardon ; but this, he said, could not be granted in the first instance—the prisoner must be dealt with in the ordinary way. The prisoner was, on Tuesday, brought into the New Court, when the Common Sergeant briefly referred to his case : without presuming in what way Gove-nment would act, he had only to pronounce the judgment as in an ordinary case of being unlawfully at large. The sentence was, that the prisoner be further confined in Newgate for three calendar months, and then be transported for life. MIRAC CLODS ESCAPE.—On Monday, a most alarming accident occurred 'at Sudbury, Derbyshire. Lord Ches terfield, and a number of distinguished guests from the seat of the noble Earl. arrived at Sudbury Hall, formerly the residence of the Queen Dowager, for the purpose of enjoying a day's fox-hunting. The morning was beauti fully fine, and the party exceeded any former gathering of the kind. They were met by Mr. Meynell's hounds, and everything gave promise of a most delightful day's sport. An accident, however, occurred to Mr. Potle, of Radbourne Hall, which gave birth to another of a more fearful kind. This gentleman was thrown from his horse, and the animal galloped off at full speed, when it was met by the carriage of Lord Chesterfield, which contained four ladies—viz., Mrs. Clay, of Sudbury Hall, and her two daughters, and Miss Turner, who had kept the road as spectators of the sportsmen. The coachman, seeing the horse approaching, incautiously quitted his seat for the purpose of stopping the animal, when the horses dashed off with the carriage at full speed, for more than two miles, and threw the carriage on its side on an embank ment; the carriage was immediately righted again by the horses, but only to be upset on the other side; they went on a little further, when the carriage again was thrown on its right side, and the horses stopped of their own accord. Every assistance was immediately rendered to the unfor tunate ladies, who, we are happy to say, have escaped with their lives. Mrs. Clay had her collar-bone dislo cated, and the other ladies were slightly bruised. The jewellery. watches, and trinkets of the fair owners were scattered in all directions, and the carriage was almost dashed to pieces. SERIOUS RIOTS ON THE LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—On Wednesday morning last, the banks and shops in Penrith were closed during a great par tvf the day, and all business had been suspended, in consequence of serious disturbances amongst the labourers employed on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway. That morning upwards of 2000 of these men, engaged between that town and Kendal, began to assemble in the neighbourhood, with the view of driving the Irish labourers from the line. Luckily no collision took place, the Irish having re treated. The labourers were armed with clubs and other weapons. A party of the English having learned that some Irish had taken refuge in a lodging-house in Pen rith, went to the place, before the civil power arrived, and seriously assaulted nine Irishmen. One or two are scarcely expected to survive. The Cumberland and Westmoreland Yeomanry Cavalry were called out. At eleven o'clock all was quiet. The disturbances com menced on Tuesday at the cutting at Hugh's Cragg. It geared that an Irishman had refused to do some work required by his overlooker or " ganger," and that the two got from words to blows. The remainder of the Irish then employed, about 60 in number, struck work, and went to Mr. Smith's works, at Plumpton, where a great number of their countrymen were employed. In the evening the whole of them, to the number of 500, formed in regular order, and marched through Penrith to the huts on Yanwath moor, to burn them down, but were prevented by the magistrates and civil power. Mr. Hasell, a magistrate, harrangued them in kind language, and they agreed to march back and meet next day (Wednesday), to receive their wages. It was also arranged that the Irish should work on one side of the Eumont viaduct, and the English on the other. In the cutting at Hugh's Cragg there are employed upwards of 600 English and about 60 Irish About 13 men were wounded in the affrays, and nearly all are doing well. The riot act was read about noon. On Thursday night all remained quiet. The Irish in the neighbourhood of Penrith were paid off, and left the town, with the exception of four who were seriously hurt. From 200 to 300, armed with guns and other warlike weapons, were previously met by the yeomanry cavalry, at .Milestone-house, and stopped, where the Irish appeared so desperate that the riot act was read, but, ultimately, it was agreed that they should be paid off, and they laid down their arms. After they had left the town all was again tranquil. DREADFUL MURDER AND SUICIDE.—A dreadful tra gedy was enacted on Thursday morning at the house, 16, Arthur-square, Commercial-road East, London. A man named Jeremiah Spence Stark, a coal-weigher, having murdered his wife by cutting her throat with a carving knife, destroyed himself with the same weapon. It ap pears that Stark, who was a man of violent temper, had lately made use of threats towards his wife, and was spoken to upon the subject by his wife's father, who lived in the same house. In consequence of an arrangement made by the wife's father, Stark and his wife slept in se parate beds on Wednesday night. Stark rose very early, and it is supposed that whilst his unfortunate wife was in the act of kneeling before the fire, and sweeping the ashes into a shovel, he came behind her, and inflicted several wounds on her neck and throat. A scuffle of very short duration then ensued, and the wife must have run towards the stairs, where she fell from exhaustion and loss of blood. The: man afterwards destroyed himself in the front kitchen, when his lifeless corpse ; weltering in blood, was found stretched on the floor in front of the fire-place. The police were immediately called in from the neighbouring station-house, and found both parties quite dead. The woman had received several deep wounds on her neck and throat; the man only one, which nearly severed 110 s head from his body. The . ' fender and fire-irons were scattered about in every direction, and all things betokened a silent but terrible struggle. The only discoverable grounds for the terrible tragedy are these : A little brother of the young woman Ellen Baxter, alias Stark, slept in the same apartment with her and her hus band, and on the previous night heard the latter abusing her, and calling her odious names. This he told to his father, who mildly remonstrated with Stark on the impro priety of his conduct. It would seem this galled the fel low, and must have rankled all night in his mind. From the appearance of the front kitchen, which seemed.to be the breakfast-room of the family, the young woman must have been at work in the place when Stark made the at tack upon her, and the silent struggle between them must have been terrible.

It is of course next to impossible to calcu late with 'certainty the fall of the price of wheat conse quent on throwing the British market open to all the world, but we may assume that the reduction may be a bout ten shillings a quarter, which is the estimate of ex perienced men. Taking the consumption of Britain at 20,000,000 of quarters of wheat a-year, this beneficial change, say the Free Traders, gives the cluntry, accoer ing to this calculation, a saving of £10,000,000 _ that is, ten millions sterling, which was previou z ly paid by the unjust operation of CLASS legislation to tn. _ li - olders, will ba absolutely extinguished,—it will be no longer paid to them, and be an absolute saving community. But before we give such a statement an u. qualified assent, it may be worth while to inquire what the landholders do with the ten millions thus acquired? Do they bury it, or is it absorbed in some mysterious way in to the agricultural body, so that the rest of tt— nation, first robbed by their cupidity, continue to pine under their selfish obduracy ? By no means. Hence in a great de gree the strenztb of the home market for manufactures of which we have spoken. They, their families, their ser vants, tcir dependants, hasten to spend it mainly on the various manufactures of the country. The ten millions do not leave the country, or are absorbed by some unpa triotic slough, but run instantly, as soon as acquired, into inumerable channels throughout the entire country, giving an astonishing impulse and life to every thing from the spinning frames and power looms of Manchester,—from the manufacturers of Leeds, Nottingham, Norwich, Bir mingham, Sheffield, down to the retail dealers i❑ Regent or Borid• street, to those of the most insignificant village of the kingdom. If the wave of prosperity is directed with unnecessary, or as it regards the community at large, even hurtful force, over the green lawns of the aristocratic body, back it instantly flows with an impetuosity which carries it in its fructifying career to the remotest points and corners of the land. Admitting such a view of the question as this, it seems difficult to imagine that the evil of wheat being 10s. a quarter higher than it might be, is of the unqualified description which our Free Traders would have it to be. Let ten millions cease, according to their impetuous clamour, to come into the pockets of the land holders, it will equally cease to flow out of them again in to theirs, in the purchase, especially, of the elegancies, luxuries, and refinements of life. If eventually the coun try suffer not, in consequence of the saving through the community at large from the lower price of bread, (to ac complish which fall the bakers must be subjected to a spe cies of tortgre to charge only moderate profits, unknown to the nineteenth century,)—for the present an embar rassment and derangement in the channels of the home trade is likely to ensue, the extent, the duration, and con sequences of which he must be a bold man who shall pre dicate.—Record. uted those inquiries and proceedings which most likely to accomplish the object of heir appointment They have reviewed the reports of the directors and en gineers, and in this report have intimated their opinion lation on such points as they have thought or recoonme They recommend, Ist,—That the dividend be 14s. ins'ead of 13s. per old £5O shares, and so in proportion on other shares, because ing revenue, to provi. ly greater outlay in earning large nronor- it and keeping the stock in repair, than the 1 tion which, during the last half-year, was de )ted to that 2 - ,l,—That the land at Grang le be not sold 3d,—That the bill for the a Tuna! tunnel to Monk's Ferry be not proce That th mstruetion of the exter n line to the eks be proceeoed with in the course of the ennui enable he company to sell their djoining re of opinion that the questions terminus may be used for the present traffic if additional .c9rnmodation be provided t Your committee, having co and before the last general r red what took ng on the sub- place a ject of line to the ( reasonable, ociations with the Chester I to reilim terms proposed ther that ca her cor —Your committee deeming it withi iew the_ proposed terms of arrange to re 6 for the company to conch] nt witt them in its present form,but that this company should afford every facility to le Grand Junction Company for ging the most tion to that corn Bth.—Your )inmittee have thot it their duty to in rence to the traffic [tire into the statements .Of this line, and feel warranted in expr sing their deei ke whatever arran neet the d Yll tines, Mr: BRow xplanation Band( Lnd Chest leasing committee rised to m rtly ar " an u cattle sheep ; ar Au in nium roots. in pots discovered to b tom of the pot COMMITTAL OF A SURGEON FOR MANSLAUGHTER. — Mr. Dickenson, surgeon, of Bilston, has been committed to tyke his trial for having, by his want of proper skill and attention, caused the death of Hannah Hickman, the wife of a working man, in her confinement. The offspring of the unfortunate deceased is now living, and is a fine in with I healthy child ith the d but in a formidable manner She is one of the most perfect spe- cimens of war-ship building yet known. She can berth a thousand men, and from her construction would swim though her external keel and plank were off her bottom. Her engines are of 800 horse power. She is to have a complement of 240 officers, men and boys. The horrible case at Greenwich closed on '1 hursday, by a verdict of " wilful murder" against Wm. Ri hardson. The coroner told the jury that they must dismiss from their minds that portion of the case, showing the inces tuous intimacy which had subsisted between the father and daughter, except so far as it showed the motives thSa would have for concealment. Fox's OPINION OF POLITICAL ECONOMY. — When Fox was asked whether he had any faith in political economy, the doctrines of which had become fashionable in his day, from the writings of Turgot and the French school, he answered—" That it was too undefined for his compre hension ; that its views were either too large, or too in distinct, to give his mind the feeling of certainty." 11e well might say this, when no two of the modern political economists agree, and when all the theories of the last age are laughed at by all the theorists of the pre sent. In the middle of the seventeenth century Sir Wm. Petty, one of the most acute, and also one of the most practical men of the time, pronounced that the population of England would take three hundred and sixty years to double—the fact being, that it has doubled within about a seventh part of that period. Of London he predicts, that its growth must finally stop in 1842; and that then its population must amount to half the population of Eng land. Yet London is still growing, day by day, and yet its population scarcely exceeds a twentieth of the whole. —Blackwood's Magazine. At the half-yearly meeting of the Charing Cross Bridge Company, a dividend of 18s.. or nearly 71 per cent., was declared. The directors stated in their report that they were proceeding with the bill in parliamentto enable them to complete the sale of the bridge to Messrs. Wm. Jack son and others, who were taking all proper steps to con clude the bargain. SALE OF A CHI LD A woman named Taylor, residing in the neighbourhood of Farringdon-street last week sold her child, a fine little boy, to a lady who came in her car riage, and paid half a sovereign as earnest money. After wards she exhibited the urchin denuded of his dirty rags and clothed in the richest honour, and took him away with her, promising to call and pay the remainder of the " purchase-u.oney (£2 or £5) as may be required. The grandfather of the child repudiates the whole transaction INcenniAntsm.—A destructive fire, caused by some malicious incendiary, took place on Saturday week, at Bottiaham, in Cambridgeshire. The flames extended over two farms and other buildings, and no less than 150 coombs of wheat, with several agricultural implements, were destroyed. .What adds to the calamity is, that fifteen cottays were burned down, and 24 poorfamiliesthus turned out of house and home. The farms and stacks were par tially insured. THE LONDON ALDERMEN.—The Lord Mayor has thought it right to offer some explanation as to the charge of several.of the aldermen being unfindable by John Doe and Richard Roe. His Lordship says, that there are not more of his brethren absent than are usually away at this time of the year. Certainly some may be abroad for pri vate affairs, and some may be abroad for health ; but it is not the less true, that at home there are numerous legal claimants on their attention, whom it is inconvenient for them to meet.—Railway Herald. In the melancholy case of shooting, between Harro gate and Otley, mentioned in last week's paper, the co roner's jury returned a verdict of " Excusable homicide." It appeared that John Brotherton, the poor fellow who was shot, had acted in the most imprudent manner, arising, no doubt, from his being intoxicated at the time, and that Hugh England, the servant man who fired the gun, as well as Mr. Atkinson and his family, were under great apprehension that Brotherton was one of a party of burglars who were trying to get into the house. SAVINGS' BANKS.-- . FrOm an official return of Mr. Tidd Pratt, it appears that there are in England 445 savings' bank, with 832,290 accounts and deposits, amounting to £25,112,865. There are 428 rictrily so cieties, investing directly with the National Debt Office, with an amount of deposits of £1,770,775. There are 23 savings' banks in Wales, 73 in Ireland, and 36 in Scotland. The average amount of each depositor in Wales is £2B, precisely the same as in England ; in Ire land it is £29, whilst in Scotland it is only £l4. DETERMINED SUICIDE. A young woman, named Lydia Price, 25 years old, having left her situation at Brecon, on Saturday, took arsenic, and afterwards applied for out-door relief at the workhouse. Being told that this could not be granted unless she became an inmate, she went away, and applied at another chemist's shop for more arsenic, but cream of tartar was given to her in stead. Being taken ill, she was conveyed to the work. house, where, notwithstanding an obstinate resistance on het part, the stomach pump was applied and the chest re lieved. It was, however, too late, and the rash woman expired the same evening. The jury returned a verdict offelo de se, and the suicide was interred without Chris tian burial. • MANSION -HOUSE, SATURDAY.—RINGING A PEAL IN HONOUR OF PEEL'S TARIFF.—Miss Julia Jones, a very pretty damsel, dressed in a fashionable polka, was charged with pulling the bell of Mr. Bennett, of Fenchurch-stieet, at two o'clock in the morning. Julia said she had supped with a party of friends, on her return from the theatre, and had perhaps taken a little more refreshment than agreed with her, as she had drunk two or three glasses to " the health of Sir R. Peel," and " Success to his Tariff," and she supposed it was that which induced her to ring a peal in honour of Peel. She hoped the Lord Mayor would look over the offence, as it was her first frolic. — The Lord Mayor discharged the fair Julia, having advised her to beware of her second frolic. _ SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—On the 4th instant, a young man, named Phelan, was engaged, with another person, at Messrs. Stephenson's engine factory, Newcastle-on- Tyne, in grinding a piece of iron on a grindstone driven by an engine, when in an instant the stone flew into numberless pieces, one of the parts flying upwards with tremendous force and breaking the beam and floor of the upper room, and, striking the steam-pipe in its descent, broke it, and filled the building with steam. Another portion of the stone is supposed to have struck Phelan, as, when the steam cleared away, he was discovered lying on his face, his head and face being dreadfully injured. He died about two hours afterwards. ALARMING ACCIDENT.—At the Broad Oak Colliery, near Ashton-under-Lyne, 20 poor men had a very narrow escape from being crushed to atoms, by the fall of 100 tons of rock and rubbish. It appears that a body of coal had got on fire at the bottom of one of the pits, which the men bad found great difficulty in trying to extinguish, on ac count of the great heat of the burning mass, but had at last succeeded in getting a fire engine down the pit. On Monday, the steam arising from throwing water on the burning coal, got into the roof, and brought down with a tremendous crash the mass of materials named above.— Fortunately the men had not commenced work, cr every soul would have perished ; three are seriously injured. The fire is not extinguished. THE DISTIN FAMILY.—These accomplished performers on the Sax horns are at present in Paris, where they are highly popular. It appears they have attended soirees, given by the Duo de Montpensier, and other illustrious individuals. On Friday last, they had an especial " com mand" to the Tuileries, and they played a variety ~ f their most attractive pieces, in the presence of the King and Queen of the French, Princess Adelaide, Duchess of Orleans, Duchess of Nemours, Duc de Montpensier, Due de Aumale, Prince de Joinville, and about 60 guests of distinction.. His majesty took occasion to express the pleasure he experienced in listening to the effects of the horns; and even to request the performance of "God save the queen." The Distins proceed immediately to Germany, on a three months' professional tour. SERIOUS'AFFRAY.—For some time, a hostile feeling has existed between the English and Irish workmen em ployed at the Derwent iron -works, and pugilistic en counters have been the consequence. On Sunday night, about nine o'clock, whilst a -numbet of these workmen, composed chiefly of English, were sitting in a beer-house, at Blackhill, a party of the Irish repaired to the house, armed with sticks, stones, and other missiles, and corn mewled an attack upon it by smashing the windows and other outrages. Soon afterwards, the English party in side were joined by a number of ir comrades, when a• desperate engagement ensued, which lasted for several hours, and during which from forty to fifty on each side were more or less disabled by cuts and bruises, three of whom are now lying in a very precarious state, and almost beyond the hope of recovery.—Durham Chronicle. A DEEP BEGGAR.—A fellow is going about at Lincoln, vending trifl'ng articles and begging, who, to induce the people to make purchases or give him something, pro fesses to be a religious person in reduced circumstances. To enable him to work the better upon the feelings of the religious, he produces what purports to be the certificate of a minister. It turns out that he has a number of those certificates, and that he is, if they are to be believed, a faithful member of nearly every religious sect in the country. Unfortunately, the other day, he endeavoured to exci a the pity of a Lincoln independent, and to clench' the appeal, pulled out what he imagined aid stated to be the certificate of an independent minister, as a proof of his godliness ; but, lo ! the paper turned out to be " the wrong one," the unitarian certificate, and so, of course, the scamp was turned out. Some alarrni ig potato riots took place at Inverness a few days since. The lower classes opposed the shipment Of potatoes, in spite of the police, magistrates, and mili tary, and they proceeded to smash windows, and threa tened or attempted to set fire to the Provost's distillery. Ten or twelve persons were wounded ; the riot act had to be read, and a proclamation issued; and many were taken No potatoes were shipped on Thursday, so prisoners e to brave t ttorded to one sit. ,ae bitants think this is occasioned a•iil not at- posing the lease had length he market with the Birken order to effect a purchase vet.. had been read at a d.
