POPULAR AGITA77OMS
IN THE HEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE.

[From " The Leas Mercury."]

During the present week this part of the country has been
kept in • state of considerable alarm. The recent occur-
renews at Huddersfield, as stated iu oar last paper„the news
from the manufacturing distriets of Scutlaud, and Memorise-
blares of the unemployed in the streets by day, with some
still more daogerous meetings by night, have tended Iw
keep up the alarm. We ha►e the pi to add, how-
ever, that there has been un popular commotion in any part
of Yorkshire; and the disaffected, feeling bury impotent all
their effort' imui.t he against the authorities of the country,
sided and upheld as they most and will be by the co-upers-
lion attic peaceably disposed inhabitants, have not ventured
to measure their strength with the military. We rejoice in
this on every account, bat principally us acennut of the
poor distressed people themselves, whose miseries, great as
they are, would be speedily sari inevitably increased by sec.

WARMV.LD—Though little subject to the agitations
which some timer prevail in the manufacturing parts of the
Wert Riding, has this week exhibited a scene of considerabre
Imetle, nut unmixed with a degree of public apprehension.
The 1111* Iligence of the intended rimullaneona rising of Hie
people, brought General Byng, the Commander of the dis-
trict, over to Wakefield on Tuesday, with the intention of
♦cawing a cordon of troops round the intended rend at
Gunge Moor, and capturing She whole of the insurgent
army. A premature worriment of the troops stationed at
Huddersfield is said to hare frustrati d their deriga, but the
fart is, that the instigators of the intended rising, sisciever
they were, bed so ill succeeded in their that only
three or four bemired persons were brought to the field,
and they instastly retired into the woods in disgust and
dismay.
The General, after remaining in Wakefield ore► Wednes-
day, left dust town, shout three o'clock in the afternoon of
Thursday, for his seat at Canspaall, and two of the three
troupe which had been brought thither from Turk returned
to their former quarters.
We hare beard that a well-dressed man, of manner, supe-
rior to those with whom kr anociates, and an entire stranger
in this pnrl of the country, has been passing about in the Tel-
lays in the neighbourhood of Barnsley, Wakefield, and
Huddersfield, exciting the people to rise in arms, and that
a proposal has been made which we hope will be earned into
effect, to offer a reward of 5001. for the apprehension of thin
incendiary.
