A striking instance of the harm occasioned by
such outrages as these committed in Sheffield may
be seen in the occurrences that lately took place in
Nottingham. The evil example will of course be fol-
lowed if care be not taken to arrest its progress. On
Monday, in Nottingham, some men on strike in the
building trade blackened their faces and made a

captured, and are remanded for a week. We hope
that they will be dealt with in the manner they
deserve, and the severest penalty of the law in-
flicted upon them. It will be the only way to
deal with such ruffians ; and if it be found that
the existing laws are not strong enough to deal
with such offenders, we hope that during next ses-
sion steps will be taken to augment them. It is high
time that a stop be put to such a tyrannical and
oppressive system, and those who clamour for their
rights had better be taught to respect the rights of
others. Perhaps there has been too much latitude
given to these trades unionists ; but, be that as it
may, they must look to themselves, and take heed
that they are not regarded as dangerous to the
safety of the subject. It cannot be tolerated for a
moment that the condition of things which exists at
present in some of our large towns can be allowed
to remain in statu quo, and the sooner a remedial
, change takes place the better.

After the plebiscite, the ballot-boxes for which will

Appeal of Venice will assemble in an extraordinary

Venice, and on the 28th inst. proclamation will be
made of the solemn will of the Venetian people.
The Movimento states that Victor Emmanuel
will receive at Turin the delegates from Venice,
who will bring the result of the plebiscite, in order " to
render homage to the patriotism, the self-denial,
and the constancy of the Piedmontese, who were
the first in Italy to desire and obtain the common
deliverance of the country."
