PAISLEY.

Daring the whole of Tuesday, the. appearance'
of the town bad less of the terrific in it than
on the three preceding days. It was like the
swell remaining when the storm had abated.--
The streets were filled with idle work-people of
the 'town end neighbouring villages, but the
fio rceneSS of countenance visible on the former
/hays was less apparent. Well dressed persons
and special coirstables could pass through, at
le4st the more public streets, without insult,
a:rd it became apparent, towards evening, that
r,o plan of riot bad been organized for that day.—
Shoi lv after six o'clock in the evening, the shops
taverns were shut up, and the Military pa-
t ules and pictpitts took their stations. After

eight scarcoly nry person seen
the Cross, or on the public streets, except the
military, a few special constables, and the p,liee,
the watchmen not having taken their stations
since Saturday. In the course of the evening the
military pat roles were orragionally pelted with
stones st the outskirts of the town, a,few win-
dott s only were broken, .and planks of wood were
found !flared across the 6.treet to trip the cavalry,
but before 12 o'clock all was quiet, and nothing
%co+ heard except the clanking of the cavalry pa-
trole, and no light except from torches posted at
different places, the few lamps which had escaped
the ravages of the rioters not having been light-
ed, except thole at the Cross, to prevent them
from sharing the fate of the rest. The fire,
however, is supposed to be only smothered, not
extingnished, and only prevented from bursting
forth by the presenre of the military.
We understand, Mr. Mitre, of Caldwell, Vice-
Lieutenant, and several of the Deputy Lien-
tenants, who had repaired to Paisley at au early
hour On Monday, and remained during :the night
co-operating with the Magistracy in. the restora-
,tion of tranduillity, met on Tuesday forenoon,
and expressed their arprohAtion of the measures
which had been pursued in the following Reso-
, Intim) :

" Resolved—That the Lieutenancy approve of the active
measures taken by the Sheriff of the County and the Magis-
trates of Paisley, to put a stop to the outrageous proceedings
of the.mOb Which have occurred here since Saturday last, and
they offer their Thanks to them for their activity in stippress-
ing the tuntolts, and for,their tempgrate conduct in,prevent-
lug the etrii,ion of blood. The Lieutenancy also request,
in a particular manner:, the Special Constables of Paisley and
the Abbey Parish, who acted on this occasion, to accept their
Thanks for their activity and good behaviour in aid of the
Sheriff arid NlAL;istrates.

" The Li( otenancy beg leave to give their thanks to Major
\
Kin on, and the 011iCerS, Non Commisz,ioneol Ottieers, and
Private. of the too Companies of the COO: Regiment, and to
Lienten nit Hodgsin, and the Non-C4anmissioned Officers
and Min Of the detachment of the 100, llnoqirs, for their ex-
cellent conduct un the Occasion of the distutb::,nceb that have
occuned."
Paisley, Sept. 15.

This morning, there were not the saute number
of people going idly about the streets its yesterday,
nor during the day was there tl►e least appearance
Of any thing but peace and quietness, till about
seven o'clock in the evening, a vast number sud-
denly appeared at the Cross. The Magistracy
had issued a proclamation enjoining all well•dis-
posed inhabitants to keep themselves and their
families within doors after eight o'clock in the •
evening. When the clock struck eight, by far
the greater number made off, but probably from
two to three hundred remained, and, about a
quarter past eight, the lamp above the police office
minor was broken by a stone thrown from among
the crowd, when they instantly ran away, all its,
the same direction, as if they had been one man.
About the same time, a disposition to riot showed
itself in other parts of the town ; and the Riot
Act was again read, and the military put in rea-
diness. Windows were broken in different places,
Hod the gate of a Gentleman in the neighbour-
hood totally demolished, but the operations of the
military prevented further damage in any parti-
cular place. The town is now in a state of
quietness (t welve o'clock): .

Hamilton, Sept. Ig.
1: is with mild) pleasure we are enabled to state
that all remains in the" utmost tranquillity in this
place, where the masi of the population are
'weavers ; they proceed Cu, their labour on the
high Way. with alacrity and cheerfulness for wages
at from Gs. to 9s. a week, preferring honest industry
to turbtilence and a spirit of impatience, in the pre,
sent melancholy crisis of affairs, and seem rather to
" prefer the ills we have, than to fly to others ale
know not of." It is our duty to report such con-
iltict, as well as the copduct of men under similar
Circumstances in other places, who have manifested
a different spirit troth tlie weavers of the middle
ward of Lanarkshire.

A wearer's shop of eight looms was broken
into last night or early this morning, in Moncrieff-
itreet, Gorbals, and four of the looms stripped of
the cloth. The weavers had been working till a
late hour,'in order to get their cloth out to
,get
money to pay some (parter accounts this day into
a society. The owner of the shop is a poor old
man with a large fancily,--(Glasgow Herald.)

PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS.—A letter from
Copenhagen, dated Sept. 11, says—" The severe
measures employed by our Government have not
wholly suppressed the signs of public hatred
against the Jews. The military were compelled on
Tuesday last to fire upon the mob, but no person
was wounded. Nearly all the windows oft he houses
inhabited by Jews have been broken. One of that
sect, well known as a money-lender, in his attempt
to leave the city, was taken out of his carriage in open
day, and so cruelly attacked with stones, that be is
said to have died shortly afterwards. On the other
hand, the punishment of the persons who have
been detected in these tumults has been extremely
severe. A lawyer's cit.' k, convicted of having headed
a party which entered the house of a Jewish mer-
chant, and cast all his furniture and merchandise
into tl►e street, has been condemned for life to im-
prisonn►ent and hard rabour—a sentence worse than
death itself. Scarcelya day passes that revolutionary
placards are not posted at the corners of the
streets, exciting the people to acts of hostility
against the Government. One of them contained
these words—' Don't leave of : first the Jews ;
then the King.' Messrs. Meyer and Trier, bankers
to the Royal Family, have resigned that employ,
inconsequence of the late events."

An event, which might have been fatal, occurred
at Aberystwith on Thursday. Miss Edwards, a
Lady from Tewkesbury, was one of the visitors
at that place; she had two suitors, and both toI-
IOWCCI her thither, one of whom was Mr. Pace, an
attorney, who bad been rejected, and bound over
to keep the peace; the other Mr. J. Gittins.—
The Lady, accompanied by the latter, was met
by Mr. Pace upon the Terrace ; an altercation
ensued, and Mr. Pace fired a pistol, which grazed
the cheek of his opponeut ; a second was pre-
sented, when two tradesmen of Sbrewsbory,
bearing the report of the pistol, interfered,. siul
wrested the second Iron) his grasp. Mr. nice
was secured, Milt taken to Cardigan Assizes,
where he awaits the result of his ,trial.—(Country
Paper.)

Lit li,L'Jlllll. Fr: A 1.1 K V, S:

frame-work knitter of this place-, who keep!, a
-shop of frames, and who %vas suspetted of having
worked under the statement prices, was placed
op‘,!) an ass, with his face to the tail, and carried
through some of the principal streets, on Tues-
day last, accompanied by a crowd of men-and
boys. The Mayor and Magistrates, with a view
to put a stop to such illegal proceedings, have
issued hand-bills, offering a reward of 20 guineas
for thelpprebensionof the ring-leaders concerned
in such outrage. The County Magistrates. have
also issued placards, expressing their strong dis-
approbation of the conduct of the frame-work
knitters in some parts of the county, and their
determination to enforce the penalties of the law
against all such as shall be found guilty of acts
similar to those which have beent made the subject
of complaint before them.
On Friday a number of flick wires were taken
from about twenty frathes at Heather, belonging
to Mr. Sherwin, of Coleorton, on the ground that
the frames were working under the hosiers' state-
ment. It seems the wires were drawn from the
frames by a. body of men who had gone from
Ib-
stock for the purpose, and at the round-house of
which place they afterwards deposited them. On
Saturday, Mr. Sherwin having obtained warrants
for five of the parties, repaired to the latter place
io execute them, accompanied-by ten persons on
horseback. They were not, however, then to be
found, and we have not heard whether they have
since been apprehended. Vire understand he in•
habitants were not very ceremonious in their con-
duct towards Mr. S. and his assistants.

The go'o'd 'effects of an advance in wages is
strikingly manifest at Btirbage. Some weeks nao,
the amount paid weekly to the poor was from 301.
to 401.; the sum now paid is only about 51. per
week.-

His Grace the Doke of Rutland has graciously
condescended to receive, 3t his splendid mansion,
a Deputation, with an Address, from the frame•
work knitters of Ilkeston. His Grace heard with
pitience and sympathy the statement of the poor
mechanics, and made many inquiries into tlreir
case ; and afterwards gave them his •promise,
that he would send his agent over to Ilkeston
to inspect the situation of the frame-work knittets.
His Grace's Steward visited Ilkeston last week,
and in the name of his honourable employer, en-
gagefi to find all those work, for six months, who
could not obtain work in their trade at the stAte-
inept price, and to pay, them for their labour, so
99 to render parochial relief unnecessary. Several
who could not obtain the statement price,
now employed under the benevole;tt patrguagP of
his Grace tlae Duke of Rutland, in improving the
roach, &c.

The cotton hands of Loughborough still con-
tinue unemployed ; it is said -11)1.y at•e waiting fur
the statement of the prices agreed upon at ,the
General Meeting at Nottingham a few days ago.
The differences between the hosiers and frame-
work knitters of Nottingham do not yet seem to
be adinsted. • The statement issued by the former
does not meet the approbation of the workmen ;
they say it is so far from their statement, they
never can comply with it.—(Leicester ChroniNle.)
