great movement by the eagerness of lookers-on to see the
gold after it was washed, it seemed to me that prisoner was
prevented getting any thing by his hand being forced out

MAN.—James Allen, a rough-looking fellow, was charged
with assaulting John Pope, coachman to C. Shaw, Esq., of

the prisoner to desist, when, without any provocation, he
gave the coachman a violent blew in the mouth, cutting it
and smothering him with blood.

Prisoner said he was sorry, and had 'lever been in a
court before.

charged wiih being drunk, but it was intolerable to think
a man who was quietly sitting on his box, looking after his
master's horse, should be assaulted in such a manner.

THE RECOGNITION OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES
AND THE ENGLISH WORKING CLASSES.—The recent de•
bate in Parliament on Mr. Lindsay's
motion, regarding the
recognition of the Southern States of America, has excited
a good deal of interest among the
working classes of this
country.
We uniters'and that in B aekburn there is a
movement, initiated by many of the wealthiest manufac.;•
turers in that town, in favour of the Confederate cause. A
meeting
is announced for the 7th August, when it is ex-
pected pro-slavery sentiments will be advocated by the pro-
moters of the present agitation. The intelligent working
men of the place, however, are energetically exerting them-
selves to prevent any tampering with slavery by the adop.
tion of resolutions in favour of the views advocated by the
abettors of that system.
