STABBING BAILIFFS AT MANCHZSTER.-Yeetertlay
forenoon two men, named William Stubbs and John Fox,
were engaged in diatrainiug the goods of William Black-
ledge, Daniel-atreet, Bradford, Manchester, who owed tea
weeks' rest, when Blackledge. who was not in his house,
caught sight of the men from the window of a neighbour-
ing workshop where he was employed as a picker-maker,
and rushing out with a large tablelrnife he had with him,
stabbed both the bailiffs in the chest and left side. Re was
immediately taken into custody, and himself received a
severe cut in the hand from the knife, when it was wrenched
from him by one of the bystanders. The wounded men
were attended by Mr. Done, surgeon, Berwick-street, ant
were taken to the Manchester Infirmary, where they are is
• dangerous state. though their recovery is hoped for. The
prisoner's family (a wife and three little children) were in a
destitute and squalid state ; he had been out of work for
some time, sad the whole value of the scraps of furniture
in his house would not be mom than • few obi liege.
Sak-sAtirmo PLAces AND Tanit C uirroma. -
Those of our sone and daughter whose walk I. life else-
where-in their drawing-rooms, for intim* -in public,
meemblages-on the streets of the city-are surrounded by
an atmosphere of decorum and purity-whom the slightest
indecorous word or act in each places would suffuse with
shame and indignation-these, when they come within the
consecrated arena at the proper time, are instantamocaly
divested of all sense and decorum, end exhibit a segos ace
to be matched elsewhere until we reach the Mutinous
Islands or the nosier. It is useless to argue or light with
this specialty; it is a deeply founded national institution-
almost a supentitioa- and one might as well lift his voice
in argument against suttee or the national institution of
Dahomey. Bat if our countryman who is apt to thick that
every license or indecorum of he own country is only to be
found in an exaggerated farm abroad, should take this
national custom with him into some portions of Europe, he
may Sod himself in • complete and very disagreeable mis-
take. It is cree. I apprehend, more frequently committed
than proclaimed. In fact, in such cases, the proceedings
take a form widish brings the calories conduct forth in
so extremely odious and scandalous a shape, that be en-
tirelly abandons his limb impulse, which is to place before
the 3raeiary of State the alternative of obtaining justice for
an outrage on • British subject, cc immediately declaring
war against the offending nation.-Blacimoud's Magazine
for July.
