FOR THE PRESERVATION OF HORSES' FEET.
To Noblemen, Gentlemen, Coach Proprietors, Post-masters,
Livery Stable-keeper', Brewers, and Others.
THE PREPARED LINSEED, as a Stopping for
Horses' Feet, has for years been used in the Stable Depart-
ment
of his Majesty, and it is highly approved in all capes of irri-
tation, inflammation, sand cracks, or injured frogs. The application
of the prepared Linseed will be found invaluable. See Mr. Good-
win's Publication, lot and 2a Edition, pages 272 and 340, on the
treatment of Horses? Feet. in which he particularly recommends the
Prepared Linseed, in preference to any other stopping, for keeping
the foot and hoof in a cool and healthy state; where the hoof is
shallow it is particularly serviceable, as it tends to increase the
growth of it. In fact it only requires to be known, when doubtless
it will become a requisite in the stable department of every noble-
man and gentleman in the kingdom. Mr. O. also states in his
publication, he found great difficulty in procuring it genuine, until
Messrs. OLDFIELD and BENTLEY, of Little Queen-street,
Holborn, erected machinery for that article only, after which he had
no longer any difficulty.
To be had genuine only, by their appointment, at R. Long'',
veterinary-instrument-maker, No. '217, High Holborn, and at no
other house in London ; put up in parcels of 71b. 141 b. 281 b. and
:Alb., price Ild. perlb. Orders, with remittance (post-paid), will be
promptly attended to. Also may be had, Poultice Boots for the
use of the Linseeds.

FOR PRESERVING THE TEETH AND GUMS.
13uTLEWS VEGETABLE TOOTH POWDER has
so long been In general use, that it is almost unnecessary to
offer any further recommendation of it. Composed of Vegetables,
without the admixture of any mineral or pernicious ingredient
whatever, it is free from the usual objection against the use of other
Dentifrices. Its detersive power is Just sufficient to annihilste
those destructive particles which adhere to the Gums and the inter-
stices of the Teeth; healing injuries in the former. and promoting;
a new enamel (where it has been injured. or corroded) on the latter.
It likewise imparts a firmness and healthy redness to the Gums ;
and if regularly used, will pteserve the Teeth In a sound state to
old age.

source of crime—tbey tilled the prisons, and aleventualy led to

for hunger drove its victims to madness. it was true that low
wages were not the sole cause of the millions! distress ; others were
to be found in our immense national debt—our great load of tax-
ation—the evils of the paper-money sptem—and, above all, what
Nould call " starvation laws.' Of the three former he
would at present say nothing—the last threw all into the shade ;tor

Adverting to the immediate subject of the meeting, he said that
be could scarcely trust his feelings to speak of lt, but be deemed it
the duty or all to resist the attempt made by Men's. Lund and
Force to reduce the wages of their spinners, and .concluded by
mating the find resolution to the following erect :

distress which now prevails Jhroeghout themoentry ; that they tend
only to impoverish tho nation, to ruin the workmen, to banish them
from the land, and to demoralize the labouring chteses without the
employer himself being benefited by such reduction."
The motion was briefly seconded by Jon I HOLLAND, and ear-
ned unanimously.
The Chairman then celled mere one Ileger Fell to come for-
.tread and move the wend reetelatieu ; but Rioter answered not,
neither obeyed the call. Mier vAliing sem time, the Chairman
observed that it scented he had deserted the cause of his fellow-
workmen, but he trusted the meeting would Rapport them.
EDWARD HAMMOND, jan. then rose sod read over the second
resolution; after which he said that as Fell had not tome forward
to do his duty, it devolved upon hlm to Move • it, anti stated that a
few weeks ago the mestere of NVensley Fold, wanting, as they
said, to spin a new sort of yarns, set their spinners to work with
them, but the men refused to work at lower wages than before, and
went on working under an idea that they were to receive the same
wages aa !before. When pay day however came, they found the
masters wanted to reduce them, and they refused to receive the
money which was offered, but a Court of Justice had since granted
them their rights, though the men were yet out of employ.
The Resolution which he moved was as follows
" That this meeting views with the deepest regret, and wi h
feelings of detecation, the recent attempt of the Wensley Fold
masters, to reduce the iniggA of the spinner,' ; and considers such
reduction not only unlawful in its manner, and such as would
bring down upon their heads the punishment of the law in such
eases, but as unneeettesary and calculated to involve their''
hands in ruin, without being in the cod beneficial to them- 1
selves."
The motion was seconded by HENRY CaOASDALE, and car-
ried unanimously.
J. Ceetrortee then emus to move the third Resolution, and
being oneof the spinners who had worked at Wensley Fold, lie
could say that the reduction was 'rite unwarranted, and such as
would not in the end benefit the masters. Alluding to the adver.
tisenient in last week's Mail, be said it was a gross libel to say that
they hail dictated to their masters; they had not dictated or at.
tempted to dictate any terms, but on the pay-day, which he said
had been put off for eight weeks, he went to ask for his wages, and
found they wanted to reduce them one-eighth, and when he re-
fused to agree to it, the manager said to hint and the others, if they
were dissatisfied they might gn shout their business. It was the
duty of all the spinners to support them, for if this reduction was
submitted tp, It would extend to all. The resolution was_
" That u it is the opinion of this meeting that if the conduct of
the proprietor' of Wensley Fold is not checked and resisted, the
other cotton spinners in the town will ultimately share the same
bee ; •it hereby pledgee itself to support the eVensley Fold spinners
in their lawful endeavours to withstand the contemplated reduc-
tions."
The motion having been seconded, was carried unanimously.
WILLIAM CROPPER then rose to move the fourth and last reso-
lution. Ile thought enough had already been said to convince the
meeting of the evil tendency of a reduction of wages, and should
therefore not trouble them on that subject, further than to observe
that every one was interested to prevent such reduction ; the whole
town, shopkeepers, publican'', &c., would suffer by it; for, sop-
posing 114001. were paid weekly for wages if the reddction was
submitted to, there would be 25111. lees paid every week, so that
the town would lose so much. Besides, it would increase the num-
ber of paupers, and, though the workhouse was enlarging. yet it
I would soon be filled. He was glad that all the masters in the town
were sot friendly to the reductiongand that, out of seven who had
been applied to, two only were fund to sanction it, but would ee-
-1 duce their time rather than their wages. Had this unani.nity of
feeling existed 30 years ago, much of the misery that nuw pre-
vailed might have been prevented, as the reductionsaf wages were
all caused by an attempt on the part of the masters to undersell
each other. After some observations he moved—
" That this Meeting has. beheld, with the liveliest gratitude, the
noble and humane principle acted upon by those gentlemen who
have, at the present distressing crisis, reduced their time in prefer-
ence td their wages; and the cotton-spinners of Blackburn do
hereby oftitr their warmest thanks to those of their employers who
have adopted such lautlableeconduct."
EDWAnD HAMMOND, in seconding the Resolution, said he had
called on some of the master cotton-spinners of this town on Mon-
day laft, to ascertain their settineents as to the reduction. From
five of them he met with a most favourable reception, and they all
repressed themselves as decidedly hostile to a reduction of wages.
When he called upon ,Messrs. Lund he could not obtain a proper
answer, and the other was the person lie had before alluded to, who
had compared his workmen to Ids horse. (A person in the room
said " name him," but E. H. said he thought it was not proper.)
With respect to the Wensley Fold masters, they were paying less
wages than the cetton-epinners of Bolton and other places, and still
' they wanted to reduce 4d. per Ih. lower. lie trusted the cotton-
spinners would chew they knew how to appreciate the friendly feel-
ings of some of their masters, and proposed that the motion be car-
ried with three times three for them.
This was done accordingly, and afterwards three groans were
given for those who were friendly to the reduction.
Thanks were then voted by acclamation .to the Chairman, and
the meeting separated—the spinnenb luring conducted themselves
throughout the evening with the unroll detorutn.

SPINNERS' WAGES.
The spinners now became complaivar.ts, and Meyers. Lund and
Foater appeared to answer a summons obtained by Wm. Pool and
several other spinners, formerly in their employ, for non-payment
of their wages. Poore case was agreed to be taken hest, when he
stated that rd. 1-ls. 1.1. was doe to hint fur spinning—that his rate of
wages was 2d. per pound ; that it was usdal in the factory, and
one of the tries, for either piety to give a inanthlw notice previous
to leaving or uttering the wages • and that he had hid no notice to
work at less wages than those above mentionedi Ifi reply to this
Mr. Foster stated, that in consequence of the recent depression of
trade, they had, some time previous to the late riots, reduced their
period of spinning to a few days a week, and hal afterwards discon-
tinued it altogether for a short Mme; that when trade began to re-
vive, they found it likely that they could sell a coarser eon of twist
or yarn (we do nut exacly• remember which) than they had before
manufactured, viz. Ifi'e; and they, therefore, when tbey
began to work again, Issue I a new Het of prices, in which
the sort of twist alluded to was allowed lid. per pound, which
was fully as good a priers in ptoporion at had previously
been paid. This was the sort of twist which the spinners who
summoned had been spinning, and for this they wanted to be paid
as muchas for Ws twist, and that was the principal matter in dis-
pute. here all the spinners interfered, and the remainder of the
proceedings were much confused in consequence, se that it is ex-
. trently ditlioult to convey an accurate idea of what occurred. The
spinners, In reply, urged that the regular notice of a change in prices
had not heat given them; and therefore they demanded their (Ad
price., and, when the new list was at first produced they refused to
work at thin prices, and heard no inure of u; that they considered
ha redaction, its many of them stated that they had before been
paid 2d. per lb. for spinning 3fi's twist. Mr. Foster then 'stated
that it would sometime% happen that, by the variation of the atmo-
sphere and other causes, the wheels would run down to 36's, but It
was always made up and considered as 40's, but the sort in ques-
tion was coarser, and to be considered and sold as 30's ; and he con-
sidered that it was no reduction in fact, as the spinners wuteld be
able to obtain quite as muclawages by spinning it as the other
sorts. The spinners insisted that it was a reduction and a new
price, and (untended that a month's notice ought m have been given
them.• Wm. Press (the manager) was then celled, and proved
ChM when the factory resumed operatidhs, he told a .man in each
room of the new list, and desired them to inform the others,
and that the spinners continued to work afterwards, end he
convidered them to be working under the new list. The spinners
then called Henry Metcalfe, one of their own body, who proved
that he was one to whom Press coutruunicatecialia het ; that he in-
formed his fellow-workmen of it, and they met upon the subject,
but refused to agree to the new price, and said they would rather be
reduced in their time than their wages: this he communicated to
Press, who, however, cook no nonce, and they continued at their
work, expecting to be paid the old prices, but when they applied
for their wages, they found them made up trending to the new
list, and ptcy refused to receive them, and had not set been able
to obtain them. Me: Foster naiad that be and his partners hek
always been ready to pay the wages they considered due, but that
new the spinners had not only refused to work for them, but they
also refused to quit the houses they occupied tinder them, and
thereby prevented them from obtaining other hsnds. Some alterca-
tion here ensued, which it is impossible to report, but in the course
of it one of the spinners asserted that Press, the manager,
hail said that it they had not turned out they would have
been p rid the old wages, which Press himself, when asked, did
I not deny. Urn this the Rlagistrates consulted, and at length
I announced that a:. from he last-mentioned air, nmstance, and from
others, it appear:a that the spinners at leant considered therneilves
working at the old prices, they thought a regular month's notice
ought to have been given, and therefore ordered the wages to Es
paid according to the old prices, but directed the keys of the houses
to be at the same time gieee up to 3lessss. Lund and Foster.

MAIMING CATTLE.
- - - -

Gorge Nutter stood charged with having maimed, with intent I
to kill, a calf,•belonging to Mr. John Tattersall. From the evidence
of Alice Eccles, it appeared that the prisoner and another man
were, about ten o'clock one night the preceding week, running after
a calf, in a field belonging to Mr. Tattersall, and attempting to catch i
it, and that they chased it out of that field into another ; but what
afterwards became of them site did not know, as she went to tell
' the owner. John Yates. a butcher, at Windy Bank, proved that
I the calf in question was brought to his house very early the fellow.
I ing morning, by two persons; that its windpipe was then ctit; and;
the flesh mangh d. but the calf was not quite dead. Ile killed it
out, but it would have died of the other wound if it had been let
alone. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the affair, but did
not give a very satisfactory account of himself, and was therefore
committed to the House of Correction for further examination.

During the storm on Tuesday se'nnight a piece of lu-
cerne belonging to Mr. Chat Lia, of Hoye, was szorclted
by the lightning in a very singular manner • and a pitec of
rye was nearly destroyed by the hail. In the green-house
of Mr. Tamplin there were upwards of 4no panes of glass
broken.—Brightun Gazette.

AIELANCIIO OCCURRENCE.—We have the painful
duty of recording a fatal occurrence, which took place on Wednes.
day night last, on the firm, situated in the parish of Basford, and
nearly opposite the Black Swan public house, on the Arnold
road, in the o.:.,mpation of Mr. Hardy, of the Maypole Inn. in this
town. The labourers, RCVeil or eight in number, who bad been
hay-making, having finished didr day's work, deposited their
forks and rakes in the barn, and then seated then selves in the told
yard, to partake of some ale which Mr. !lardy had given them.—
They had not been long in this situation, when a noise was heard
proceeding from the barn. Mr. Hardy addressing one of his men,
asked, whether he had left a horse in the barn ? The man replied
in the negative; upon which another observed, that a beam had
given way. The whole company instantly rose, for the purpose of
propping the fabric, and had scarcely entered the place, when the
crash became so alarming, that Mr. Har desired all to get out
of the place immediately. A general rush ensued, but unfortu.
nate!), too late, for the roof fell and killed two men upon the spot ;
a third was knocked down, and he had one of his ribs erushed in.
The two unfortunate men who have lost their lives have left wives
and families. One of them, named Witlowson, lived next doar to
the Black Swan: his family consists of seven children, and the
youngest is only three months old. The other is named John
Smith—lie resided at Radford, and his family consists of several
children, grown ug, the youngest being fifteen years old. Mr.
!lardy instantly sent a man on ho'rseback to Nottingham, for sur-
gical assistance, and in a very short time Dr. Manson and Mr.
White were on the spot. We are glad to learn that the individual
who had his rib broken is doing well. The barn has been recently
built, and no cause can be assigned for the accident, unless the
building had been shook by the lightning.—Nutfiughmn Journal,
June :10.
