The landed aristocracy continually call out
that the people want to divide their estates, and
to take away their property. In the meantime
the landed aristocracy actually take away by a
bread-tax, and continually take away, the pro-
perty of the people. Do the aristocracy make
such a pother about an imaginary and appre-
hended wrong to blind the world to the great
wrong which they continually commit ?

DESPERATE ATTACK UPON THE POLICE AT
GRINDLETON, NEAR CLITHEROE.—On the night of Thurs-
day week, three of the rural police stationed at Clitheroe,
named Robert Whiteside, Andrew Madden, and James
Neild, accompanied by Mr. Christopher Lancaster and
Mr. William Lancaster, of Clitheroe, went to the beer-
shop of Peter Hitchen, of Grindleton, about three miles
from Clitheroe, to apprehend a notorious poacher named
John Briggs, of Savvley, and James Dickinson, on charges
of poaching and assault. On arriving at Hitchen's,
the police found both of them there, and they were
immediately seized by the officers. They both made
a violent resistance. Briggs drew a knife, but it
was wrested from him, and he then drew a loaded
pistol, ready capped, and this was also seized and taken
from him, when, after a desperate struggle, the police
succeeded in handcuffing both of them. They would not,
however, walk a yard, and Madden, therefore, went off to
Clitheroe for a post-chaise. During his absence, how-
ever, about 50 or 60 ruffians, six of them armed with guns,
attacked the house, and broke open the door. They then
demanded the release of Briggs and Dickinson, and
threatened the lives of the police if they did not obey their
commands. A struggle ensued, when the officers were
overcome by the force of numbers, and the prisoners were
rescued. Oa leaving the house, several shots were fired,
and the mob hissed and hooted in the most furious manner
At this time Madden arrived with the chaise, and on
alighting, he was attacked in the most brutal manner with
bludgeon?. He, however, got into the house, and the
door was again cic sad. They then broke the windawa,
and fired several shots into the room, some of which
took effect on Christopher Lancaster's arm and Maddeu's
legs. Six armed ruffians then forced the door, and de-
manded ten shillings, or they would take their lives. The
money, we believe. was given to them, and the police left
the house, when they were attacked at the door with
bludgeons, and M: d !en received a severe blow on one of
his arms. On the folio sing morning, Briggs and Dick-
inson went through Cnatburn, arn el with guns; and be-
ween that place and Dovvnham they met Mr. Littledalc's
gamekeeper, whom they knocked down and kicked in a
savage manner, and he now lies seriously ill of the injuvi3
he received. These desperate characters, we are sorry to
say, arc still at large. They are the terror of the whole
neighbourhood, and we trust the police will spare no effort
in apprehending them.—Preston Chronicle.
SETTLE.—Saturday the 16th was ushered in
by a complete hurricane of wind and snow, and in the
afternoon it turned to rain, accompanied by a wind, which
towards night, became a perfect tempest. In the midst
of this, a poor journeyman tailor and a young lad left a
house where they had been working, about five miles
from Settle, to return home ; they struggled on till the
man's strength began to fail, w'aere the boy held him up,
and almost dragged him along till they reached the top
of the hill, looking down into Settle, about five hundred
yards from home, when the lad, being nearly spent, was
obliged to leave his now exhausted companion, and went
donn into the town for help. Some men went up imme-
diately ; but, though the. poor man was alive, he died al-
most immediately. The poor fellows had, it seems, left
the house where they had been working at nine o'clock
in the evening, and the boy did not reach Settle till two
in the morning; so that they bad gone little more than a
mile an hour. There is something very affecting in th e
poor boy having to assist the man.—Kendal Mercury.
The following is a copy of the paragraph in the
Lords' address relative to the birth of the Princess Royal :
We entreat your Majesty to accept our most sincere
am! fervent congratulations on the birth of a Princess, and
we beg to express our unfeigned joy at this increase of
the domestic felicity of your Majesty and your Majesty's
Royal Consort,"
