An Ipswich Paper states, that the riots in that neighbour-
hood have been less frequent toeing the last week than for
some previous weeks. On Weduesdav , however (continues
that puler), J. Mayes the younger. of Stoke, near Clare,
Sulroik was Chilrgt:,l with having threatened to set fire to a
barn belonging, to Gen. Fie's, and, having given surety for
the peace ; as the law retinires, ss as dischat ged. In conse-
qiienee of the arrest of this (Mender, smite of the ntivgoided
populace assembled, and proceeded to break up a I hrashing.
machine in the neighbourhood ; but the General having, with a
very laudable promptitude, procured the attendance of same
military force, at the very crisis of flee riot, the ringdeaders
were wised and committed for triul. On Monday week a
great numb( r of persons of the labouring class assembled at
Southery, in Norfolk, and it tttttt Aiately proceeded for Down-
ham, between whirl. places a bou t seven miles distance) they
forced the labourers from their houses and work to join them.
They commenced their scene of action by catering the shops
of the millers and bakers, and taking away flour, bread, .s:e.
At Mr. W. Baldwin's mill a great many sacks of wheal-meal
were thrown into the yard, and %Hied. They then proceeded
to the publicans, and demanded the, which wits brought iu
pails into the street. They next went to the Crow it Inn, and
drove the 31agistrates ( o Ito were balding weekly Sittings)
from the roams into the street. Afterwards they proceeded
to the butchers, whose shops they cleared. The Upwcil Imp
of Cavalry at length appeared, when the ')lagi,trates read the
Riot Act ; several gentlemen narrowly escaped with lite, from
brick-bats, stones, clubs, &e. With the aid of special consta-
bles, however, ten men and four women were takes and put
into confinement, and the test gradually dispersed; fortunately
HO lives were Inst. The following morning the Magistrates
directed the inhabitants to arm themselves, and, in a short
time, the tows wore a formidable appearance ; the inhabitants,
with time cavalry, proceeded to meet the rioters; when an
amicable agreement was made, which induced the latter to
return peaceably to their homes.

The appearance of the apple and pear-trees in this country
is generally faviairable; and, owing to the backward season,
sanguine hopes are entertained of a tine blossom, and a fair
crop of fruit. to some places the trees ore a little injured by
blight; but, upon the whole, they promise very well.—Herefurd

It is the opinion of experienced persons, that a fair crop of
apples and pears may be expected.—llore(g. r Jour:, ii.
There appeared lately in the Chester Conrad a paragraph,
stating that 31 men employed in herd Gross enor's mine at
(Lakin, blear Flintshire, had been turned out of work, because
they were dissenters frum the Church of England. Abort 'don-
night ago they addressed a Most respectful petition to the
Noble Lord; in which they stated the number of their respec
tive families, and the length of their servitude, many has ing
been 15 and 20 years in his Lordship's service. This petition,
it would appear, had not been answered so soon as was ex-
pected; and, in consevence, on Saturday sennight, "The
Friends of Religions Liberty" held a public meeting in the
Welch Chapel, in Chester," for the purpose of devising a luau
for the relief of the distressed miners at Halkin." A list of
resolutions was submitted fur the consideration of the meeting;
when a gentleman rose and stated, that he was authot•ised to
say, that information was daily expected front Lord Gross tuor
on the 'subject, and he hoped the men wenld shortly be rein-
stated; and on this ground he should move an adjournment
tisstil Wednesday, which was unanimously agreed to. Pre-
ions, however, to the adjournment, a graut of 101. was ordered
for the immediate relief of the distressed hotlines. We have
pleasure in adding, that though thus dismissal dist :lethally take
place, it originuted entitTly in a mistake of his Lordship's
Agent. His Lord-hip had simply desired, that Isis workmen
should be encouraged to go to Church (instead of wasting their
time and %pending their carniugs idly on Sundays); mid Ids
aim would have been equally gained by messing those of his
werkmen, who were dissenters, to attend to their own place of
worship; hut, the Agent taking the recommi :Walton its its
hitsral raid illiberal sense, dismissed the hitter. We under-
stand that orders have since been given by his Lordship, that
no person shall be dismissed,or excluded ItUal employmesst, ou
account of his religious opinions.

a highly-respected individual in the neighbourhood of
Grenoble, whom the Prefect brd ortlered to be secretly
arrested by the Mayor ; the latter having refused, the
Prtfect desired him to invite the individuals in question
to the Prefixture, f;tr the purpose of were explanatua
promising he should not be arrested. This promise wa ,
however, broken, and the peasants of the neighbourhoo ,

noble, for the purpose of demanding his release. They
