EMIGRATION OF PAUPER CHILDREN

TO BERMUDA.

Yesterday, at the meeting of the St. Pancras board of
directors, Mr. Churchwarden Elllett in the chair, the
clerk to the board reported that James Combley, gibed 15,
one of the children who WU sent out to Bermuda by tee
pariah two year 3 ago, was in attendance, having obtained
the permission of his master, Mr. Tucker, to visit his
friends its this country. The boy, who looked remark-
ably well, answered the questions put Whim in a most
intelligent manner. Ho stated that he knew many of
the children who went out with him, and they were
comfortably placed and doing well. He was quite
satisfied with his position; his master's daughter in-
structed him in reading, writing, arithmetic, and music.
—(Hear.) Mr. Stockton was p!eased to hear this state.
went, as it fully contraHicied the foul calumnies which
had been heaps i upon the parish at the time when these
children were sent to Bermuda. He would move that
the thanks of the board be given to Mr. Henry I.
Tucker, of Bermuda, for his kind conduct to the boy,
and for the very satisfactory letter he had sent to the
boy's friends. Mr. Howes seconded the motion. The
Chairman expressed his gratification at this undeniable
proof that in removing the children from the contami-
nating influence of the workhouse, to placid them with
respectable employers in Bermuda, their exertions had
met with entire elleCe93. The resolution was unani•
mowly agreed to, and a gratuity in cash having been,
given to the lad, be retired. Dr. Gregory then gave in
the follovving notice of Thst this board do
take into consideration the propriety of adopting; the
necessary steps to provide for the well-abducted portion
of the pauper population, that they should not be de-
prived of the benefits offered by emigration." Ha con-
-I,iclercd the case brought before them that day another
proof of the desirability of carrying out the principle
advocated by Lord Shaftesbury 's Bill,
and to provide
thatthe poor children shcuid not be kept in the work-
house until they became permanent paupers.—(Hear,
hear.) The board then separated.

CATHOLIC AND PROTESTANT
RIOT IN STOCKPORT.

THE LATE PROCLAMATION.

We have just received intelligence by express of an
alarming riot which has taken place between the Catho-
lics and Protestants of this town, the former chiefly
Irish, arising, as it appears to us, out of the late precis-
mation. In defiance of the prloclie streetsalmation
thine
lConagthoplrioes-
of the town paraded through t
CM/OU, without any other emblems than. their largo
crosses. Multitudes of Irish from various towns in the
neighbourhood accompanied. This passed off without
disturbance; the inhabitants looking quietly on.
On Monday night a dispate arose between au Irish-
man and Englishman in a public house in the town
the Irishman asserting they would carry crosset:
in spite of law, and which ultimately led to a row be-
tween the parties, in which the English bud the better
of it, and the Irish retired, threatening to have it out
the following day. On the following night (Tuesday),
some Englishmen were assaulted by the Irish in the open
street, a row ensued, and the house of a surgeon
in St. Peter's Gate, with the church, were attacked, and
the windows broken. The English mustering in force
began to retaliate, and after demolishing the windows and
moveables of all the cottages of the Irish in the town,
attacked the two Catholic.; chapels, turning them inside
out, destroying books, pulling down the gallery, altar, and
everything in the shape et fixtures inside, setting fire
to the whole, together with the books and furniture of
the priest's house.
An imnsense number of special constables were imme-
diately sworn in by the magistrates, who continued in
consultation during the night. In the morning the mi-
litary were called out, and steps taken to put down the
riot. Upwards of 120 prisoners, chiefly Irish, were
brought into the Police-office, all of whom were more or
less injured, chiefly cuts on the head.
At two A.M. on Wednesday morning one man had
died of his injuries. With two exceptions,, most
of the injuries, however, were slight, inflicted for the
most pert by pieces of railing, bludgeons, bed-posts,
table-legs, and sickles, which were the weapons used.
The interior of the chapel is at present one complete
wreck, and the priest's house a heap of ruins. At three
AM. on Wednesday morning the town was quiet;
magistrates still were sitting, a detachment of militry
on duty in the Court-house, and patrols stationed in
different parts of the town.
The whops of the preceding is quite accurate, without
the slightest exaggeration—indeed, it gives a very
poor idea of the state of the town and its effect.

The Height of Simplicity has been variously de-
fined, but we think it may now be known as—Going to a
Betting Office, with the moral certainty of being "taken—
in."—Punch.

EMIGRATION TO AIISTRALIA.—The Marco Polo,
very fine vessel, of 1,625 tons register, is to sail from the
Mersey on Thursday next, with a thousand emigrants for
Australia; and six other vessels are to be dispatched from
Birkenhead next month for the same destination under
charter of the Government 'Emigration Commissioners. The
beautiful screw steamer, Sarah Sands, and the leviathan
steamer, Great Britain, arq also to sail for the Australian
colonies in August. The Tippoo Saib, of 1,800 tons, was
dipatched on Friday with 437 emigrants ; and the American
built ship, Rip Van Winkle, is announced to sail shortly
from Liverpool for the same destination.

AN OWNER WANTED.—We rea3 the following
story in the Presse :—" There has been just found in the
neighbourhood of Annecy, in Savoy, an empty balloon lying
on the ground. The car and all the cordage were perfect, and
there was every appearance of the balloon having fallen solely
from the gradual escape of gas. At the bottom of the car
were found a gentleman's cloak and a lady's bonnet and
shawl, and in the latter a very handsome album was wrapped
up. On the first leaf of the album there was a pencil-drawing
of the panorama of the mountains of the country signed
Eliza de R. There is nothing to indicate the origin of this
mysterious balloon. From the direction of the wind, -it is
supposed that it came from France, bat beyond that all is a
mystery."

The parochial authorities of St. George's, Hanover-
square, are about to erect a new workhouse on some ground
belonging to the parish at Little Chelsea. The plans have
been already made, and as soon as the contracts can be dis-
posed of the work will commence.
THE POTATO CROP.—The Penzance Gazette of the
23d inst. says, "It gives us much concern to report the un-
doubted fact that the potato disease has again made its
appearance in this neighbourhood, and we fear to a very large
extent. As respects the parish of Gulval, we hear that the
disease is so universally prevalent that almost all the farmers
are having their crops drawn with all possible dispatch, with
the view of disposing of the produce before it becomes en-
tirely unfit for the market."

THE Acnum TRIAL —A just indignation is very
generally felt at the abominably indecent details which
have been published in connexion with Achilli's trial. For
this favour the public "is altogether iudebted to the.
Times. It was the resOlution of that journal to give the
whole trial, that left its contemporaries no other alternative.
It has, therefore, succeeded in gratifying its resentful feel-
ings against Achilli, and also in making a seasonable and
welcome addition to the literature of Holywell-street. Cheap
reprints of the trial, are already commanding extensive
sales in that highly-respectable quarter of the metropolis.—
Morning Advertiser.

A THEATRE Row.—At the theatre of Toulouse
a few nights ago the Fublic hissed a comic actor named
number of
DeEMOLIS, who made his debilt
a. Desmonts being announced
ngedv.ert intentioning' persons assembled
of hissing again. When
nces began great tumult arose, and at

ve
a
length the stage manager announced that the actor
had put an end to his engagement. The tumult, however,
still continued. The commissary of police asked what was
required ? We require, you and the manager to make an
excuse for having offended us!" cried a young man from the'
pit. The only reply the commissary gave Was to send some
soldiers into the pit and arrest the ringleaders. The per-
formances afterwards continued quietly.

The rate of exchange at Vienna has experienced a
sudden and unfavourable reaction of nearly • one-and-a.half
per cent., the quotation which had receded to 11.43, having
again reached 11.51. A proportionate rise had occurred in
the premiums on gold and silver. ,
