THE GOOD OLD PEEL DAYS.—THE MAN"
CHESTER MASSACRE.—Monday was the twenty-second
anniversary of the memorable and disgraceful massacre
that took place at Manchester, on the 16th of August,
!819, in the dispersion of a legally-assembled Re-
form meeting by the armed yeomanry of that town
and which, down to the present hour, has never
been investigated. Mr. (now Sir) John Cain 'Job"
house, in his " supplicatory letter to Lord Viscount
Castlereagh," written immediately after, giVes the fol-
lowing detail of the results of the slaughter The
Manchester Committee have already relieved 300 persons
and have a list amounting to 410 wounded and griev-
ously injured. Those who suffered from sabre wounds,
amounting to 84 individuals (Lord Sidmouth in the
debate said not one had been cut by a yeomanry man !),
are by no moans such lamentable objects as those who
were pressed under heaps of fugitives, and received in-
ternal injuries. All the avenues to Saint Peter's-fleld,
except one, were blockaded, notwithstanding,
the asser-
tions made in Parliament ! The 88th Regiment bayo-
neteda._ several persons endeavouring to escape through
those passages said to be left open ; one woman was
sabred nearly a mile from the place of meeting ! I learn',
through a respectable Manchester gentleman, himself
to the Magistracy, and acting as one of the
pecial constables on the 16th of August, that he is sure
he saw two thousand down on the ground at once
when the charge was made ! Ashworth, the special
constable, was killed close to this gentleman—but not,
as Lord Sidmouth said, by the mob—no—he was ridden
over by the yeomanry. More than a hundred most re-
spectable witnesses might be brought—but what is the
good to offer any proof ?"—Glasgow Chronic.e.
HALF•A-DOZEN WORDS TO THE BREAD'
TAXE4.—Some time ago certain Noble Lords, in a c(=1".
tain place, amused themselves and the public by certain
nightly colloquial exhibitions on the subject of the Corn-
laws. In this place it was asserted over and over, and
it appears has been re-asserted since, nearer home, that
the wages of the agricultural labourer always keep
pace with the price of bread. Now, what is the factl
In this county at least, the wages of the labourer are
precisely the same as they .were six weeks ago, notwith•
standing bread has advanced in price 25 per cent. The
writer of this is acquainted with a family whose con-
sumption of bread is such, that they are at this mo-
ment actually paying two shillings and seven-pence more
every week for this article alone, than they were two
months ago, and that without having one farthing in-
crease in their weekly income ; and should the price ad-
vance but a trifle higher, they will be absolutely driven
o the necessity of curtailing their present weekly al-
lowance of bread at least a third ! Retnembk:r, this is
not a solitary case ; it is the case of hundreds and thou-
sands of our labourers and artizans in every part of the
country at this moment.— Wiltshire Independent.
We are sorry to have to record the death of
Theodore Ilook, Esq., the accomplished author, who ex-
pired last night. Mr. Hook not only achieved a high
station in the lighter walks of literature, but attained
considerable eminence as a political writer.—Courier.
