CHARTIST OUTRAGE.

(From the Salopian Journal.)
We have melancholy proof in our. own district of the culpable
neglect of the Executive Governmentin permitting incendiaries
to instil into the minds of the humbler classes doctrines subver-
sive alike of their own comfoit and of all the laws by which so-
ciety ought to be guided and cemented together.
It appears, that for soiree weeks past the Chartist revolutionists
at Llanidloes and its vicinity have been arming themselves in
pursuance of tha treasonable advice of the villans who are their
leaders ; they had purcbased such fire-arms as were to be readily
obtained, and caused pikes to be manufactured by their parti-
sans, and parties had gone out into the country and taken arms
from the farmers and others who possessed them; in conse-
quence, &communication was made to the Secretary of State,
and three of the London Police were sent. to Llanidloes,
where they arrived on Monday last.
These men, on their arrival, with the aid of Illinkliorn, the
chief police officer of Newtown, Lewis, tdso apoliceman, and
o her local officers, acting under the direction of the local Ma-
gistrates, apprehended certain parties charged with being con-
cerned in the outrages that had been committed, and took them
to the Trewythen Arms Inn. This was the signal for a gene-
ral rising of the revolutionists of the town and its vieiniy, who
immediately, being armed with guns, pistols,:pikes, an blud-
geons, proceeded to the Trewythen Arms, the,winci?ws and
doors
of which they broke, and having forced their way' in, they
rescued the parties that had been apprehended, nearly killed the
police officers (indeed, it is yet doubtful if actual murder has
not been committed, some of the police being still missing),
turned the landlord, Mr. Evans, and his family, out of the house,
and completely ransacked the cellars and every other part of the
property.
The resident Magistrate, T. E. Marsh, Esq., had a pike run
through his hat, while endeavouring, in his official c Tacky, to
preserve the peace ; and we regret to say, that yesterday, when
our information came away, the town of Llanidloes was in pos-
session of the revolutionists, and it is impossible to describe the
situation of terror in which the respectable residents of the
town and its vicinity were placed, or to say what may have 0e:
rn
cm red up to the time of our writing. Two of the Londo n,O
linemen had been stabbed; Blinkbo,
picked up, dreadfully injured, on the roadthe'
policeman, was
fio'u
and conveyed to Llandinatn ; and Lewis,with se.e Llanidloes,
ef
the
'
others, as we have already mentioned,
were missing when our
informant left.

these temporary rooms have been brought by that gentle-
man deserves the attention of an who either have not suffi-
cient accommodation or wish to avoid the disarrangement
of their rooms. The absence of poles inside, with the ele-
gant lining and boarded floor, render it complete. In
short, from the loftiness of structure and spacious dimen-
sions, few drawing-rooms can be equal to them. .Not the
least of the recommendations is the facility with which
they are erected and removed.
