which were received in town yesterday from St.
Helena. They state that Bnonaparte had suffered
much from Isis late indisposii ion, and that he did
not attend the races pt the 53d, as had been re.

' It is said that the prosecutors' in the case of -
Conspiracy,. reported in our paper of yesterday,
were offered the payment of their debts, to the
atmoiu of 4,00/. and expences besides, if they
would not proceed in the prosecution. It is cal-
culated that John Kinnier, by the nefarious trans-

of the House to a petition which he held in•his
hand, from the MayOr, Aldermen, and C9rpora-
tion •of the town. of Liverpool, against the Poor

DUBLIN THEATRICAL FRACAS.

DUBLIN, APRIL 19.—Crt,w-street Theatre was
much fuller on Saturday 'than on the preccding
evening ; clamour and confusion.reigned almost
uninterruptedly from.. the opening to the closing
of the doors ; but we are happy to say that, ex-
cept in one solitary instance, we did not observe
any repetition of the disgraceful outrages which
we saw with so moch pain on Friday -night:
There was a sort of pantomimic representation of
The Heart of Mid-Lothian, for not one word ut-
tered upon the stage could be distinguished in
the audience part of the house, which was fol•
lowed by the Ballet of The Dandy in Distress.

A placard, with the following inscription print-
ed on canvas, was, among .othcrs, dkplayed
a long tithe by the partisans of the Manager, in
one of the upper lattices
_" Miss BYRNE from London came speedily back,
" For there she could meet with no mullinahack."

Several efforts were made to destroy this pla-
card, and the persons who assailed it finally sac-
ceeded, at least so far as to prevent its further
exhibition. A heovy clump of wood was throwty
upon the stage, whilst Miss WHITTAKER Was g
n g through same parts of her duty upon it alone,
but there was an instantaneous burst of indigna-
tion from all pants of the house. There were se-
veral pugilistic displays in the middle gallery, bur
none that led to any serious consequences. They
were chiefly occasioned, we understood, by a de-
sire to exclude some officers of the Police, whose
presence seamed extremely obnoxious to a great
many individuals.

_ It is said the Bank Commirtees of both Honseg
of Parliament are again at sea, and ttiat heir

CHARGE AGAINST AN IRISH JUDGE.

Mr. M WaT N (of Gal Way) said, that he was
now perfectly prepared to bring forward the mo-
tion of which he had given notice before the 're-
cess ; and it Gentlemen desired, he would then
-proceed ; but as several Members, who wished to
take a part in the discussion, had expressed a wish
that he would consent to postpone •it for a few
days, he now, for their convenience,woold agree
'that it should be postponed till Monday next. No
argument would induce him to abandon his ob-
ject by entirely dropping the subj,et. He be-
lieved the Judge alluded to had been criminally
guilty ; and the Hon. Member thought it ineurn-
bent'opon him, as a Member of Parliament, to
submit to the House a statement of -the case.

BIRMINCiIIANT.

At a numerous Meeting of the Reformers, hell
in this town on Tuesday evening last, the follow-
ing Resolutioni were unanimously agreed to :
Deeply regretting the present degraded condi-
tion ot'our country, and the mainfold grievances
and wrongs to which it has been subjected, we,
in common with a vast majority of our fellow-
countrymen, consider it our duty to endeavour,
by all the means, in our power, to emancipate our-
selves from the tfisgraceful bondage of a borough-
" Mongering oligarchy. And considering the best
and only way to obtain so desirable an object is,
by effecting as general a union as possible through-
out the country.
Resolved, I. That we do forthwith form our-
selves into a Society ; and which society do
assume the name of the Birmingham Union

Society.
2. That the following gentlemen be nominated

Price, Bellingham, Ellis, Brown, Scott, E. Tit-
ley, Brundis, Leicken, and Morgan.
That the above Committee be empowered to
form and arrange a body of rules and regulations
for the government of this society. That the said ,
Committee shall have the entire management of
this Institution during tlie tithe• they. continue in
office, which shall not exceed 6 months.'
3. That books • be immediately opened, and
proper persons appointed to receive subscriptions
twirards defraying the expences of establishing
the. above society ;. and that subscriptions are now
received at the Argus Office, to defray the neces-
sary expellees that may immediately occur ; and
that the regular weekly contribution from each
member be one penny per week, leaving it Open
for larger donations.

as soon as possible, a large private room, capable
of accommodating at least 200, persons, which
room to be fitted up with proper benches, &c.
I That as soon as the said room can be prepared, a

weekly Meeting shall be held of all the members
of this Union, for the purpose of discussing such
subjects as tend to political and general informa-
tion, and devising the best means of recovering
from our oppressors those rights which they have
usurped.
5. That as soon as. possible after the esta-
blishment of the Birmingham Union, a night
and Sunday school shall be opened at the Union-
room, for the instruction of youth, not only in
letters and words, but in such an education that
will tend to the morality and happiness of the
rising generation.

THE PRINCE REGEN EXcURSION.

POWtSMoUTH„DitYG. B.—The Royal George
yacht, having his Royal Highness the hts:cat
REGENT and suite on board, this morning went
through Spithead to the westward, attended by
his Majesty's ships Hyperion, Hind, and Came-
term. As so,n as the yacht came within the usual
mark for saluting, a Royal salute was fired from
all the ships at Spithead, who had their yards
manned. The men continued on the yards till
the yacht had passed them, each ship firing a
second Royal salute. Royal salutes were also
fired in this garrison, at Cutubtrl:thil. Monck-
ton, and Blockhouse Forts, and Southsea Castle.
It was almost calm, and the yacht was in sight
of Portsmouth near five hours., The platform
and beach were lined with people, in hop, s of
seeing his Royal Highness land. Admiral , Sir
George Campbell, Contlillander-in-Cliiet, Went Off
in his barge, with his flag flying, accompanied by(
Lord Howaid. The Hou. Commissioner Sir
George Grey, !Lat. also went off in his barge to
pay his respects to his Royal Highness.
His Majesty's ship Blo,som, Captain Hickey,
which has so often been mentioned rn the Papers
as having a very considerable quantity of specie
on board, arrived this day with it from South
America. A signal was made, from ihe Royal
George for Captain Hickey to r,p,ir thither, for
the information of die Prince Regent.
Commodore Sir G. Collier, who arrired List
night from the West Indies, sent on board the
Royal George yacht, as she passed through Spit-
bead, a very fine turtle for his Royal Highness.
Algerine Ambassador was to have embark-
ed to-day, but as the standard seas flying at Spit-
h.2ad, be could not be saluted, therefore rye deterred
going on board until tomorrow morning,. A Gen-
tleman who has just landed, and seen the Prince
Regent, says he in ver looked better, and is in
high spirits. He was thessed in a plain blue coat,
white waistcoat, and and a fOrao,.g
cap. A number of Gentlemen's pleasure vessels
are getting under weigh to.tollow the l'unce Re-
gent to Plymouth. •
Prince .Esterbazy arrived at the Fountain at
twelve o'clock, from Brighton.

POLICE INTELLIGEI:CE,

DArING I IGHWAY ROBBERI.--7MOMR
comb, a li‘ay 0f.15, was charged on the lollotviilg
case of -felony :--Mr; Debar, of the Ponitry,
stated, that, on tl.e-20:11.of
.July, between 1.2 and
I o'clock in the. morning, as he was passing the
corner of Bread-street, Cheapside, be was tripped
up, he believed, by a cord placed from post to
post, with the view of knocking passengers off
their legs. The moment he fell, up ran sor 6
boys, who appeared very anxious about the safety
of his limbs, and helped him up. The next,mo-
went a young man asked him whether he had lost
his watch, to which be replied, upon putting his
hand to his fob, in the affirmative. Not only a
gold watch, but a gold chain and four gold seals,
bad been snatched from his pocket. The person
who addressed hint handed..bim his watch .; the
chain was broken, and the seals had disappeared.
Complainant also missed a silk handkerchief, a
cambric handkerchief, and a
,pair of spectacles.--
A young fellow was brought to the Bread.street
Watch-house, upon the charge of robbing, but he
did not know his face. The prisoner escaped from
the place of confinement, and was not appre-.
!tended till Sunday, night; when he was taken in
Wititechapel.—Edward Swadling was the person
who handed the watch to Mr. beh Jr. tle saw
that Gentleman fall. The prisoner lay down by
him, and pulled the watch from his fob. There
were about him five or six boys, who seemed to
be a gang. A young man secured the prisoner
'von seeing hint endeavour U? escape, and wit-
pess took out of pri,oner's hand the watch and
the broken chain. Another witness saw the pri-
soner. It is'supposed that the rest of the gang,
impatient to get a share of the prize, had grabbed
at the seals, and broken them off. The prisoner
11 was fully comMitted.

UNION-HALL.

APTOTIf ERPESI,I3RATE A.P.FR,A.Y7.-I(C3,telday, about
two o;elneli, several
,gentlemen cause to the office,
and gave idormation to Mr.Chamberi and Mr.
Allen, the 'pre/siding Magistrates, that an immense
crowd of persons had assembled in Peckham-fields.,
where, under pretence of witnessing a pitched
batik, ail .the thieves in.the district had,collected,.
and were committing outrages upon everyperson
who came near the spot. The ?Magistrates gave
immediate,direetioos to all the officers to gather
what force they could, and to repair to the spot ;
this order was promptly obeyed, and the officers,
found the mob that had been ,described, consist-
.ing- of 400 or 500 persons of •the lowest and
most desperate class of thieves and vagabonds.
After much violent opposition, they secured
Phillips (one of the combatants), Henry
the pugilist, as his second, and. Thomas Bing,
David Hudson, William John Dyer, James Rus-
sell, Lewis Davis, and Charles Chandler, all of
*whom, it appeared, had been active in the mob,
and the three last were known to the officers as
desperate and incorrigible thieves : these persons
they brought to the office. During the examina-
tion, Phillips appeared in a mutilatedistate ; his
head was almost beaten to a mummy ; his eyes
having been closed by the blows, hail a handker-
chief over them ; and such part as could be sects
of his face, presented a hideous spectacle, and it
was found necessary to procure surgical aid in-
.stantly, uithout waiting to send him to the hos-
pital ; and he was accordingly assisted to a neigh-
bouring surgeon, who found it necessary imme-
diately,to take from him 30 ounces of blood,
Russell, Davis, and Chandler, were committed
for examination to-morrow.
The other prisoners, King, Holt, Hudson, and
Dyer, were told they might be admitted to bail,
upon producing `responsible sureties for their forth-
Coming if required, to answer buy charges that
might be made against them.

Every friend of genius will rejoice to learn,.
that the statement which recently appeared in
some Newspapers, respecting the serious
sjtion of Mr. WALTER SCOTT, is totally void of
fotindation, that .illustrious individual being at
present in better health than he has enjoyed for
some months past.—(Edinburgh Papo..)
Great festivities and rejoicings took place on
Thursday, the sth inst., at Slebbeck Hall, l'um-
brokeshite, the seat of NATHANIEL PHILLIPS,

visitors upon this occasion were eery nu-
merous;
.amongst whom were Lords Mmeorto
and CAWDOK, Sir JOHN and Lady OWEN, with a
very large assemblage of the most respectable
persons in the county. The Band belonging to
the Pembrokeshire Militia was in attendance, and
'dancing continued to a late hour.
On Thursday week, a young lad, who wag em-
ployed blowing stones in the neighbourhood of
Dunkeld, Scotland, was killed by an e %plosion
having taken place sooner than he expected. tk
small piece of the stone struck hint in the fore-
head and penetrated into the brain, which caused
almost instantaneoua death. •

BOW-S'f It EET.

Iresterday a foreigner was brought to the Office
in a coach, in the custody of Bishop, the officer, and

forged notes upon that Bank, of ten dollars each.
He-was also getting made impressions to forge
bills of exchange upon 'merchants and.other.indi-
viduals. The prisoner has not much the appear-
ance of a foreigner ; he speaks the English lan-
guage extremely well. He has been in North and
South America a good deal, where he says he was
carrying on the business of a merchant ; he has
been in England about two months, and has
passed with certain connections as a merchant.
He was residing in an obscure lodging in the
city. •He was committed. for want of bail.—The
Solicitor to the Treasury attended to conduct the
prosecution, and Mr. Harmer attended for the
prisoner.

NEWCASTLE.

The advice of the Reforming, Schoolmaster,
who addreised the late assembly at Gate,,ltead, has,
it appearS, been acted upon. In the early ►art of last
week, a printed bill was posted-op on the walls
of Newcastle, under the title of the " Declara-
tion of tile l'olitica►l Protestants of Newcastle-
npon-Tyne and Nuighlmurhood,7 which states
that they have resolved to meet once a *eelt,
in small classes, not exceeding twenty in each
class, and to subscribe one penny each for the
purpose of purchasing such means of intortuntion
as may be required. Rumouts of General Meet-
ings on the Town Moor, &c. are in circulation.

DERBYSHIRE.

The Grand Jury of the County of Derby have
published a Declaration, similar to that of the
Grand Juries of the Counties 'adjoining, respect-
ing the recent proceedings of the Reformerc—
" At the same time," they state, ".that we are
gratified, by the assurance founded on our own
observation Orthe good AispOsition 'of the inha-
bitants of • ttils`County, -and.of the continuance of
their orderly behaviour, we are desirous of ex-
pressing :our abhorrence of the attempts which
have been made to induce thein to enter into
combinations, 'nbt. for the purpose 'of seeking
redress 'for grievances,, or relief from distress,
in a regular and coustilmional planner, hut
under the visionary pretexts of Radical Re-
form, and of giving the people .their rights ;
to inculcate a total disrespect tbr the Laws and
Constitution, ,and to disseminate .principles sub-
versive of the established Government Of the coun-
try." They abstain from expressing their
nion on theoretical points respecting the Rupre-
sentation of the People, or on any measures that
may have been suggested with the view of remov-
ing defectS supposed to have crept in,o'the Con-
stitution ; but they state their decided opinion,
that no redress can be obtained, or salutary im-
provement effected, by means of tumultuous meet-
ings', at which Resolutions are adopted as diire-
spectful to the Constituted Authorities of the
State, as they are repugnant to the known and.
established principles rite Constitution."

LONDON JOURNALS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

[New Times.]
We have received Mails from Holland and
HaMborg. An alarming disturbance lately took
place at Verviers, the principal town in the Ne-
Oct lands for cloth manufactories. A French me-
chanician, from Sedan, had introduced a machine
for shearing cloth, by 'which 12 ells could be
sheared in a minute. The rioters destroyed this
machine, and would probably have proceeded to
dangerous excesses, had not a body of gendarmes
arrived from Liege. Blood was shed on both
sides. Four men were wounded.—The accounts
from France state, that a considerable number of
officers of the old army have been placed on full
pay►. The intelligence from Hamburg reaches to
the 10th inst. The exchange upon London was
at 33-0.

EThe Times.)
It is reported, that a vacancy WM likely to leave
taken place—rand we know not that the mailer is
even now decided otherwise--in the Admiralty
Board. Sir W. Hope was spoken of as the per-
son' likely to succeed the outgoing Lord.

THE MARKETS.

CORN-EXCHANGE, FEB. 19.
We have not had many fresh arrivals since
iMoutlay,nor has there been any, demand tor Barley,
which atrticle is from 3s. to 41. per quarter cheaper,
and a large quantity remains on hand which could
not be got off at that reduction; the Wheat trade
is very heavy, but not cheaper than on Wednes-
day; as it is now settled that the Importations from
abroad cease this day ; Oats, Beans, and Pcas
ate dull sale, at almost nominal prices.

The Right Hon. Lord Untidier and Ward, and othersof the
Nobility. Clergy, and Gentry, a few years since, recommend-
ed the Proprietors to lower the Price of the Medicine to the
Poor ; they readily complied ; the consequence has been, that
many thousands have been restored by the Balsam to perfect
health, which has induced the Proprietors to extend it more
generally at the same priers of One Guinea the Quart, 10s. 6d.

WESTAIIMI'EIt ELECTION.

'lO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS
OF WESTNIINSTER.
Committee-Room, 2', Henrietta-street,
Wednesday Evening, Feb. 17.

GENTLE:qr.-IV,
IDid not think it either wise or becoming to
hold out to you pon►peus expectatit)ns of numbers, that
were to confound my adversary on any given day ; first, be-
cause I did not choose to expose myst If to the ridicule conse-
quent upon a disappointment; secondly, because I did not
suppose you likely to be in any way influenced by the realiza-
tion of such expec►ations. I certainly could not boast that
my troops were ready marshalled, and if I could, I should
have paused before I announced it, while there was a proba-
bility of the desertion of one half of them on their very march

to the hustings.
Gentlemen, starting at the post, as I did, when every hope
of a fit Person presenting himself to supply such a vacancy
was exhausted, my only trust was, that the Electors would
look to the character of the contest rather than to the pall-
Ecation of the humble individual who was willing to fight
their battle ; I saw no ground why, while a Man might yet
be found who would profess and would act upon sound and
rational principles cf Liberty, such as you of old had sanc-
tioned in the persons of Mr. Fox and Sir Samuel Munilly,
on should he handed over to a new sect of unintelligible
theorists, whose prine;pal claim to your support appears to
consist in their vilifying and denouncing every illustrious
public character, living or dead, that the country has pro-
duced, from the Revolution downwards, save only themselves.
Unknown to you, and without pretensions, except the humble
one of faithfully imitating Those to whom I felt veneration
and deference to be due, I bad no other hope, I could have

none other, than that you, Electors, would feel the cause to
he your own, and would accordingly take it into your own
hands. Would it be cnon:.:h to say, that this day's pull has
ju3tised the expectation 1 had thus conceived ?

Gentlemen, in the last seven hours, you hare swept away
all the advantages of my opponent's three months' prepara-
tion, and that almost without an effort ! Little more remains
for you to do, but let that little be done with energy and
promptitude, in order to put an end to the ferment inse-
parable from the prolongation of such a contest.

I have the honour to he, Gentlemen,
Your obliged awl faithful Serrant,
GEORGE LAMB.

LEICESTER,

We regret to find, that unanimity between the
nosiers and name-wink-knitters -of this town
and county does not yet prevail,. Whi.le,the for-
mer insist upon the New Statement, the latter as
firmly require' that of 1817 ;
.and,where it is not
complied with, cese to work, and the frames are
brought home. Great numbers have been sent, in
during the last. week to various hosiers. in this
place. A
At Hinckleyoilso; we find the same practice
has been adopted ; upwards of 200 having already
been sent in to the hosiers of that place.
The men still continue to receive the support
of the public ; various donationsare regularly re-
ceived, and we understand collections for the same
purpose are to be made at some of the places of
worship. This has already been done at one Meet-
ing_ (Harvey-lane.) After the afternoon's service,
on Sunday last, the Rev. Robert Hall made a for-
cible appeal to his, congregation in behalf of the
Framework•knitters, which was promptly answer-
ed by a liberal collection of 30/. 2s. fid.

DEWSBURY.

The differences between the masters and their
workmen, in Dewsbury and the neighbourhood,
aye partly adjusted, but the reconciliation is nut
yet cordial. There is also, an adVance in the
wage:: of the billy-spinners, the jenny-spinners,
the raizers, and the warpers ; but it is not equal
to•the improvement iu ;_he wages of ,the weavers.
—lt appears that'il;e Union has removed the in-
terdict against theeMployment of females in the
warping departmetst., but they adhere steadily to
the principle that no female shall be allowed to
weave and spin, except for their husbands or fa.
tilers. The maximum of 'wages they 'have fixed
al 245. per week. billy.- spinner, or taizer ;
at a guinea for ajenny-spinner, and at2os. for a'
weaver: and any person presuMing to do more
Work than will produce these wages, is- to pay
half-a-guinea-to the Union," or to be exclud.
ed: Twelve hours a day is the time allowed for
work in a mill, including meal doles, and per-
sons exceeding these hours are subject to similar
penalties.

ULASPHENIOUS PARODY.
lVe receivril yeltetddy the toiloAting letter, dated
Warwick, Friday, Al!g. 13, 1829, 5 u'clock

THE KING V. ItUiSi!:l.L.

This was an indictment preferred at the Spring
Assizes, 1818, against :he defendant, who, I
understand is a pi inter and bookseller at Birming-
ham, for a libel in publishiog the same parody on
the Litrrty for which Air. None was some time
ago prosecuted. It came on to be tried eat ly this
morning, before the Chief Justice of the King's
Bench, and a Special Jury, and after occupying
neatly all the day, has terminated by the defen-
dant being found Guilty. The prosecution was
cnndncted by Mr. Clarke and Mr. Reader. Russell
defended himself, and spoke upwards of three
bouts. lie delivered his speech (it it may be so
called) with hesitation and confusion, and appear-
ed at times much exhausted. He possesses' no
literary acquirements, and does not speak his own
tongue with any thing like grammatical precision.
Mr. Pearson, the attorney, and Mr. Wooler were
at his elbow.

What an extraordinary misrepresentation you
and other editors have put on part of Mr. Baron
Richards's shot address to the Grand Jetty *•
The Baron, when he used the words attribUted
to him, did not know that any bill of indict-
ment was to be preferred against WOoler and
others.. The bill had not then arrived ot. bren
heard of ; atticl when he said, " There is some-
thing in the shape of indictments, which, it not
likely to be supported olltimately.it would be bet-
ter not to find them, for the s►lhject is one which
ought not to be discussedt" be clearly alluded to
the two separate offences of two prisoners %elm
stood charged witi► capital crimes of an infamous
nature, and such as indeed cannot be named with
propriety.

ana Denmark, 'whitli are still far ft on, being
set-
tied. Bernadotte is on the point of being, aban-
doned by the Emperor of Russia—a circumstance
which will increase the difficulties of his position.
The object of the Duke's mission will no doubt
lead him to Warsaw, where the Emperor of Russia
will, arrive in the ensuing month. One of the
principal objects of that monarch is to fix the fu-
ture destinies of Poland. Since that kingdoM has
fallen under his sceptre, he has directed its iirga-
nizition with an anxiety, and. watched its prospe-
rity with a piedilection, which is sail to have ex-
cited not a little the jealousy of the Russian No-
blesse. You may remember, that there was some
time ago a report, that the Duke of Wellington
was going to he present at the grand review of
troops before Petersburgh. This was incorrect,
but he will enjoy a similar spectacle at Warsaw."

Our accounts from Manchester are full ot the
agitation excited amongst the timid and in-
dustrious ; ,Ind naturally enough', it will be allow-
td, by the prospect of the " radical". Meeting
advertised for yesterday. limit is, of course,
the Punch of the whole entertainment. Having
putt it into circulation that there was a warrant
out against him, he drove in his gig to the
New Bailey, and, announcing himself to the
acting Magistrates, he gallantly told them they
might tAkt him if they pleased : tts no order for
his apprehension, however, had been i'ssued, (tor
the Magistrates had probably a Wiser game to
play), they only stared at the MAWS assurance,
anti desired him to go about his -business. The
transactions of yesterday were to tel with
a dinner for the aristocratical part of the meet-
ing, at ss. per head ; and dear enough too, con-
sidering that they were to abstain from rich
meats and pungent sauces—twin t,,e use of kline,
and other fermented potations.— (End )

AIR. BIRCH, THE SHERIFF'S OFFICER.

The Magistrates of Stockport and its neigh-
bourhood have deemed it proper- to issue the
following circular, regarding the attempt to as-
sassinate Birch ; this will be found to corroborate
our own account of the atrocious deed. There.
port of our correspondent, received this morn.
lug, is favourable, Birch being considered out o
danger.

Warren-Bulkeley Arms-inn, Stockport, Aug. 6.
The positive information upon the oaths of so'
many persons that have already been examined
before the Magistrates, of Mr. Wm, Birch, 'of'
Stockport, being shot, of its being done felonious-
ly, and of the persons who actually_did it being
identified, would have been suftcient in other
times to have satisfied the public mind that such
a horrid deed bad been perpetrated, and could not
be excused.

That after a painful investigation of all the cir-
cumstances which have occupied nearly three
weeks, the committal of two persons, and the
advertising of others by name, it should be .founil.
neces%ary to publish one fact more, is lamentable.
But to prevent the public being further misled,
although permanent prejudice may be out of the
question, this may induce them to make further
inquiries, which the innocent individuals imme-
diately interested have never had the anxiety yet
to do for themselves.

Mr. Birch, on the 23d ult., a little before 10
at night, was coining from his own home towards
Mr. Frescoes front gates, and by the wall, with-
in about 20 yards of the steps, which lead up to
the gates, when be wAs met by Bruce and
two or three others (he thinks three), who halt-
ed, and Bruce, questioned him about Harri-
son. Mr. Birch addressed Bruce by name;
and asked about Mr. Sims, when one of the men,
who has escaped from justice, and is advertised,
immediately fired a pistol Close to the left cheek
of Bruce, at the body of Mr. Birch, who appre-
hended more violence, and fled, groaning over the
palisades of Mr. Lloyd's garden, and past the win-
dows of the room, where sat Miss Holmes (then
and yet a visitor), Mr. Flint, surgeon of the Dis-
pensary, the two Miss Lloyds, and both the eons

'THE-GLASGOW. WEAVERS.

The Weavers;whowercensployed in .the Green,
and who struck work on Monday morning, owing
to the,wages being reduced to Is. a day, in con-
se►lnence of the numbers who applied for work,
again commenced o►► Wednesday mornidg, and all
is now going on quietly. Great praise is due to
the superintendent of public works, for the,mo-
derate labour he, requires these men to perfOrn, as
it cannot be supposed they are capable of doing
so notch as those who have been inured to it front
their youth. Four troops of the 10th hussars,
with four pieces of cannon and several ammuni-
tion waggons, arrived here about ten o'clock oit
Wednesday morning.—(Glasgow Chronicle.)

EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES IN GLOUCRST:IIRSHIRE.--.
The Clothiers of Gloucestershire have been lately
robbed of wool to an immense amount. Such pro-
digious quantities have disappeared in a moment,
that the depredations could not be attributed to
any but a well disciplined and numerous gang.—
By the Activity of HENRY BURGH, Esq. Magis-
trate, of King's Stanley, and one of the Bow•
street Officers, ten persons who are supposed to
be the principal conductors of this- predatory en-
terprize have been apprehended, and were lately
committed to Gloucester gaol to take their trial.
Two other men were also taken into custody, but
they have been examined as King's evidence.
One of them was the prime mover of the plot.
which has been most tremendously successful
throughout the countty, and their evidence is' to
form the ground-work of the charges '; but' that
evidence is borne out in many pants by circutu-
stance which nothing can resist,
