crowns, if he would publish a book, and avow in it,
that his enthusiasm had deceived him ; that his ex-
perience upon a large scale had convinced . him of

The Oppositin Wciters represent the subsetiberg
to the City Address as graVe refle.ling men who
have long passed the " hey-day of youth,", and,
whose opinions, therefore, ought to have, great
weight with the public. If these grave refleMing
men had happened to, take a different si.le of the
questidn, the same writers would dOubtless have
tepresented them as a set of dotards, who " had
grown old without the benefit of experience."
A most melanclmly circumstance took place •n.-"r
Huddersfield, on Wednesday evening. As Mr. W.
Horsfall (a partntA. in the house of Horsfall and
Co. of this town), was returning to his house at
Alatsden, about seven- miies otf, he was shut at bl
some desperate villains, concealed in a plantation by
the turnpike-road sicie on Crosland Moor, about t a
miles from Hudderafied. He is not yet pronounced
out of danger.

Every thing was tranquil in Manchester on the
-29th ult. The rioters wete becoming mere ma-
rauders. The Local Militia had assembled, and tile
public mind was more at ease.
Mr. Trentham, notwi►hstanding his alarrning
wound, is likely to recover. The Luddites have had
the audacity to placard the streets of Notting-
ham in the night, offering a reward f:r Mr.
son, the Mayor, dead or alive. He had commit-
ted no other offence than signing the offer of reward
,of 6001. from the Corporation of Nottingham.
(or the discovery of the assassin who shot Mr. Tree*
tram. These infatuated men are said attuary (0
,neet in the streets of Nottingham, in small parties,.
in the day,time, and triumphantly talk over Oleic
nigh ly depredations.
