But that any insult offered to the Sovereign
at once excites the indignation of the country,
a deal too much has perhaps been made of
the mad freak of Arthur O'Connor. But in this
Case the insult, to call it by no other name, to
which her Majesty was subjected , was sufficiently
grave to demAnd what the wretched youth will
assuredly have, a fair trial. As his antecedents
and the whole circumstances under which this
scandalous attack on the Queen will be made
public, there can be no harm in meanwhile com-
menting on a few of the salient features of the
affair. A correspondent of The Times, evidently
well informed, states facts which inevitably tend
to the conclusion at which, perhaps, nine readers
out of ten had previously arrived--that the youth
is mad. In some respects it is to be hoped that
the trial will substantiate this conclusion. Cer-
tainly all that is now known of this escapade
tends to this conviction. The documents which
the naturally foolish or demented youth intended
to present to the Queen but which, with char-
acteristic oversight, he kept in his pocket, are
evidently the product of a disordered brain.
They were also altogether unreal and inopera-
tive, and had the Queen—eau we suppose such
a ridiculous result—been compelled to sign
them, would have been utterly worthless. And
what but one inevitable conclusion can be drawn
from preceding facts? The purchase of that
ricketty old pistol, which could not be fired, was
made under circumstances which shows that the
vendor had the lowest opinion of the lad's intel-
ect, while the use that the latter made of it was
utterly absurd. Had the lad, too, been posses-
sed of ordinary reasoning powers, he must have
known that for a poor puny fellow like him to get
near enough to the Queen's carriage at St. Paul's
on Thanksgiving Day, to present his stupid doc-
uments, would be utterly impossible, and that
police or by-standers would, in a moment, have
seized him. The only marvellous thing about
the lad's escapade at Buckingham Palace was
that he was able to get into the grounds at all.
The rest of the affair is just what any common
sense person must have expected. Of course
the poor, crack-brained youth was immediately
seized and handed over to the custody of the po-
lice. The nature of the documents found upon
him at first raised the natural impression that
the lad was a tool in the hands of Feuiaus, but
these gentry have quite enough to answer for
without bringing to their charge actions of
which they are not guilty. It stands to reason
that they would have never selected suCh a mis
erable boy as this. The whole affair is in all
probability entirely his own concoction, and as
to the character of this sham attack on her Ma-
jesty, as well as to the state of mind of its per-
petrator, there cannot be Much difference of
opinion.

LABOUR AND WAGES QUESTION.
--
AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS.
The Adjourned Meeting of Agricultural Lab-
ourers was held at Mr. Tomkins's, the Prince of
Wales, Ragley. Mr. T. Runt was voted to the
chair. The minutes of the last meeting were
read and confirmed.
The men from Mr. N. Smith's said they had
got the rise asked for. It was also stated that
Mr. James Smith had given the full amount
asked for; also the farmers in Hagley and Clent
parishes had given the rise.
A man from Wolverley said that he was get-
ting 155 per week, tint, others had not, and he
would not work. His principle was for all to
get the money, or else to come out. A man from
Morcott had been at that meeting several times
and addressed those present, stating that if all
the other labourers went to work at the is rise
he would not; but he was sorry to say that man
had turned a b' blackleg," and he was ashamed
to attend that meeting. Another men called
Sir Charles Napier" had said that be would
give a certain man 18s per week to work for liiii
that SULIIIIIEr, but lie had failed to keep hisp:o-
mise. lio hoped that i-very man w,,0 lied rot
got the full amount isk, d. wou:d play till be did
get it.
Tile Chairman said he had heard that Mr.
Trow's men at Linen; had got 2e 61 per day
aud that they agreed to work for that sum ; but
one day during the past week they were engaged
in thseshing, and because Mr. Trow would not
give them beer they refused to go on with their
work. He (the Chairman) considered such son-
duct unworthy of the mei], as they had agreed
to accept 15s per week without perquisites, and
he trusted that in future all men who bad re•
ceived a rise of wages would conduct themselves
properly to their masters. The Chairman also
made a few remarks upon a letter in a contempo-
rary, which, he said, was a malicious and perso-
nal attack upon him. He considered it a die•
grace to the man who wrote it and had not the
honesty to sign his own name, and a disgrace to
the editor and publisher for inserting it in the
paper, said he should treat the letter with that
contempt it deserved- (applause).
A vote of thanks to the Chairman, " The
Press," and to those masters who had given the
rise, was heartily given, and the meeting termi-
nated.
A Gentleman from Nottingham attended the
meeting, and engaged several persons who were
out of of work.
