,AFFRAY BETWEEN-THE MILITARY AND THE
RADICALS, AT OLDHAM. •

[Extract of at Private Letter from Manchester, April 28.]

serious. disturbance took plaC'e on Tuesday
last at Oldham. In the afternoon *ix soldiers of
the 7th Dragoon Guards were getting some re•
freshment at the Bull's Head Jun. They were
in a large company, amongst whom were many
violent Radicals. The Radicals appeared deter-
mined to insult the soldiers. They drank many
seditious toasts. One ut them was-. May the
skins of all Church anti King men serve as drum-
heads for the Radical armies.' One man d—d the
King, another commenced to sing a song in praise
of Hunt, when one of the soldiers, who was irri-
, fated beyond forbearance by their previous rebel-
lions conduct, seized this Radical's white hat and
flung it into the tire. Immediately all thr Redirals
begat' to attack the soldiers, and a general scuffle
•ensued. The tables and chairs were btokrn to
furnish weapons, and several,. wonnds were in-'
aicred oo both sides. The saildier who flu' the
shy into the fire was legged down, and most in-
homanly kicked. One of the soldiers contri%ed
to get our of the room, and ran instantly to the
llarr.tcks for assistance, to rescue his companions.
Upon his representing the danger whetein his lel-
iow-siddiers were, several others came to the inn,
some with their swords, some with carbines and
bayonets, others with stout sticks and eart•legs..
On arrival at the pehlie-house,, they found their
companioes *vete confined in the house by the
Radicals,. who had fastened the doors, and were
severely heating the soldiers within. Sonic of the
soldiers entered through the • windows, others
through an op nine which they made in the panel
of the door, ant, tit. le companions were rescned,
and the house was cleated immediately. Several
of the Drligno, before they could be rescued
froni the Radicals, bad been dreadfully wounded
by them. •
" As the military were returning to their bar-
racks they were - again attacked by the Radicals,
who hi'sed and sh.outed at them.' - The soldiers
turned upon the mob, and ran after them. Many
men with white hats Were: knocked down, and
the crowd fled in erery-direCtion. -An Officer of
the Reeitneto having heard of the proceedings
going on, came to the place, and ordered the
Biers to then quarters.
" During the whole of this time the soldiers,
acted only in self-defence, and used the backs of
their swords and the butt-ends of their carbines.
—.Many persons have been hurt, some seriously,
but Done have been mortally wounded ; and it is
a .consolation to kn tv that none of the people are
wounded but those who were actually engaged in
the attacks upon the military.
" The Deputy Constable of the town, who its
vain endeavoured to obtain tranquillity, received
a wound on the back of the • head troM a stick ;
tortetuately, it is not dangerous.."

MARITIME NURSERY.
a. EDITOR—That great praise is due to
Mechanical Science, for the application of STEAM
to
Purposes of Inland Navigation, cannot be de
-
144. But Sir, this new system seems now
lap-
ied
r to purposes beyond, a due and wholesome
t;gard.• to that principle which renders our Co ASTr
rr TRADE a'nursery for our very best seamen.
it,,At this moment it appears that there are no
6is than seven Steam Vessels employed between
`lsgow and Liverpool ; and if the plan is found
it answer, there may be a continuation of it, until
extends round, the coasts of the whole Island.
But Sir ! what must then be-the consequence ?
etieve there is not a seaman in his Majesty's
I,,.r„vice, nor in the Mercantile Employ, that
not acknowledge that as much Nautical
:4ctice, and nearly as much Nautical Science,
he'Y he acquired on board a Steam-boat, plying
tween Southwark Bridge and Richmond, as
veatween Glasgow and Liverpool, or even New-.
ofstie and London ! add to this, that 1000 tons
tli Stearn-torinage will require fewer hands than
me same quantity under canvass—that one sea-
fos•T's or in fact, one individual with common in-
-14111460n, will be sufficient on board of each veg;.
tio?tthe rest of the crew being Mere tailors and
mP°les--and that no apprentices will be taken,
"would learn any thing,if they were. .
p ~,
r he consequence then must be, that a great
oiaPortion of seamen must be thrown out of ern-
to°Y.) and even if employed, will only be stokers
41 a stove, instead of the manly exercise of
~.ikincr and shortening sail, &c. &c. &c. Besides.
selttictnb, as the most excellent nursery for young
taen will be destrOyed, we must soon lose a most
41ble class of men in the navy, including the,
I,,,4„rilter-Masters, and several-_other 'ranks, nine-
-11,-""us of whom are New Castle and Sunderland
-I
peThat Lord MELVILLE and the Board are al-
' NIY aware of this, I have no doubt ; but, Sir,
Plait to awaken the merchants to a sense of
danger, so as to support Ministers in proper
jMans, of regulation. In case of war, His Ma.-
,stY's ships must be manned ; but if our seamen
erease; what then becomes of our commerce ?

the 221 , The object of his going to that
place, appears to be now less doubtul. It is
affirmed, that this respectable veteran_ has just
obtained' the honour of a mission to Naples,
in the character of mediator; iti the mean
time, it is affirmed, that our troops stationed in the
several Provinces of
,Upper Italy, are going to
occupy the cantonment's destined 'for them to pass
there at least a part of the winter. The most
entire understanding continues to prevail betweeu
the' Sovereigns and their Ministers. It is ex-
pected that the Declaration will speedily bE .pub-

ne.solutions of.the COngreSs at Troppan.

them) ref the complete refutation these assertions have re-
ceived in the examples of- Spain; of Nitples, and of Port uy,ai,

.LISBON

LISBON, Nov. 26.—Extract from the Diario
di Gavernu, N ov. 20 :—When we wrote the article
in the Diario-of Saturday (Nov. 30.) we involun-
tarily omitted. the . essential circumstance, that
the happy result which we witnessed on the 17th
is in.a great mcasnre owing' to the patriotic zeal
of the most illustrious Colonel ComMandant of
the Light Legion Bernardo Coicia de Castrio e

Sepulveda. This distinguished ocracer enlighten-
ing the minds of those who were deluded by a
specious appearance for an ill understood pub-
lic interest; had the glory to—restore to the pub-
lic the tranquillity of which it was deprived by
the events. of the-llth of thiS month, at the same
time sho'wtng to the world that an army composed
of Portuguese is not capable of deviating froih„.
the paths of glory. .
On the 18th, the most illustrious and excellent
General Gaspar Texeira went Tto.the Palace of
the Government, and being, introduced to the,
Hall of the Sittings, made his respectful compli-
ments to the Government, which were avceived
with the regard they merited. The Government
commissioned him to form the project of a Mili-
tary Council, which shall have -to propose all
that relates to the organization and discipline of
the army, the Government reserving to itself as
p
well the app obation of the plan and of the Mem-
bers of the Mid• Council, as' the decision on all
the proposals which it may make (or the rorno
tion.of so important an object,.and the expedition
of the order, which must be transmitted by the
competent office.
LISBON Nov. 29.----The Military Committee
is actively engaged in. the objects which are sub-
mitted to it ; it has already proposed to the Go-
vernment the actual distribution of the medals,
which his Majesty has been pleased to order to
be bestowed' on deserving Officers, subalterns,
and'privates of the army, indicating the form of
them, and all that is to be done in this respect in
y with the Royal order. . The Govern-
ment adopted the proposal of the Committee ;
and the distribution in question will shortly be

stealing three heifers, the property of Mr. Charles
Thonsas Matons, a farmer, ot Laleham, on the

6th of last December. This robbery was disco-
vet ed by the son-i►►-►aw of Hicks, Richn►d Cle-
met►ts, who is admitted as evidence for the Crown,
in consequence of confessing it. Richard, flicks
called on this witness on the morning of the Gth
of December last, and prevailed on him to assist
in driving the three heifers to London. The heifers
were disposed of in Smi hfield to Mr. Valley, a
salesman, for 261. hut he hesitated to pay the mo-
ney till satisfied whose property they actually
were. Alleging that the cattle belonged to a
Mr. Taylor of Cranford, they succeeded in getting
their value. The evidence was made completely
out, together with the division of the money, and
the detection of the entire fraud.—Prisoners com-
mitted. for trial..

We are authorized to state, that Sir Francis
Colornbine Daniel, M.D. has accepted the ap-
pointment of Treasurer to the Medical Board
established by Messrs. COOPER and Co. at Char-
lotte House, Surrey.—Messrs. COOPER. and Co.
have frequently inserted Letters from various
individuals , who have been radically ' cure/l,
not only of Ruptures, but of other dan-
gerous diseases, too often deemed incurable by
Professional men, whose practice is confined.—
The late Duke of Bedford unfortunately lost his
life in a few hours, by a strangulated Hernia ;
Mr. Mills, of the Kent-road, also lOst his life in
a few hours ;Mr. Shearman, of Mile End, was also
afflicted for many years, and many, many others,
whose names will never appear without their re-
quest. Mr. Johnson, of the Borough; who had been
17 months under the care of several eminent sur-
geons, with a most dangerous disease, and whose
life was given over, as appeared by his athdavit
before Mr. Alderman Wood, then Lord Mayor,
and whOse case has been seen by more than4oo sur-
geons, was in a few weeks restored to perfecthealth.
Such are the proceedhigs at the Medical Board,

FOR THE SUN.

MR. Enrron.—A traveller from the neighbotir-
hood of Dartmoor, passing over Hartford Flat,
Blackwater, Hounslow, &c. is not a little sur.
prized to see the thousands of acres still remain-
ing uncultivated, in the comparative neighbour-
hood of London, in the vicinity of the greatest
source of manure, the greatest market, and of
that surplus population which it is proposed to
send to Dartmoor!

Distance, Mr. Editor, is a deceptive medium;
or why do yoar London Projectors look to Dart-.
moor for those facilities which may be found in
a much greater degree nearer .home On the
neighbouring commons I have named, • heath,
furze, and fern are growing spontaneously ; and
the belts and clumps of fir and larch, which have
been planted on the highest points and ridges,
five, ten, twenty years ago, appear in a tine
thriving condition.. Nothing of all this is the
case on Dartmoor. On your neighbouring heaths
too, which are WO feet less elevated beyond the
sea level, children thrive ; a fact which gives the
only point of advantage to the philanthropic plan)
for sending the surplus of your human sprouts td
Dartmoor, where they not fail to drop off
in winter like rotten' sheep.
Yours, Mr. Editor, very truly,
A DEVONSHIRE MAN.

TUE QUEEN.-Yesterday, at 20 minutes before
two, her MAJESTY arrived in St. Tames's-square
from Brandenburgh House. At about 2 o'clock:
the Queen left St. James's-square, whence she
proceeded, by St. James's Park and the Horse
Guards (where the soldiers on duty presented
arms), over Westminster Bridge, through the
Kent-road, to Blackheath, where she called, it
is said, on the Hon. Mrs. Darner. She returned
by Blackfriars Bridge,.through Fleet-street, the
Strand, and Charing-cross,to St. James's-square,
and reached her town residence at half after 4.
About 6 o'clock Mr. Brougham and :er Legal
Advisers had a conference with her Majesty.--li
She was much cheered in ber excursion, and
seemed in perfect health. Between 6 and 7 the
Queen descended to her door, accompanied by
some Italian Noblesse. Mr. Alderman Wood
followed her Majesty in his gig. Before her '
Majesty went off, she at several times performed
her obeisance to the spectators.

meet the substance of those answers, though he
should certainly vote against the question either
-way,—(A langh.)
rEhe.Loltb cH.ANELLOR then put the modified
q.tieiit ion to_ the Judges, wio retired a few miuutes
to fore one.o'clock: •

At seven miliutes after two the Judges re-

turned..

'Fle CHIEF J usvcE stated that in consequence
of "the importance "of the question submitted to
him and his Learned Brethren,' ,they requested
of the House to be allowed till 0-morrow morn-
ing, th take the 511bject into further conside-
ration. _

The Loan Ch ANcELLou then moved that the
Hon-se should adjourn till to-morrow morning.
The Earl of CARNARVON conceived that the
House Were,sitting ' most Unprofitably, discitssing
Points of law which had no connection whatever•
with the policy or necesity of the line of exami-
nation proposed. Whether according to the
ruleS of evidence a conspiracy could or could not
be alloWed to be prord,wthe real question which
their Lordships tnusT ultimately come to, decide
was, whether they would submit- to the request
of the-Ministers of th...! Crown, tirst:to giVe them
the human 'sacrifice for which they thirsted, and
when they had got their victim, to inquire for
-what crime that. victini had-been brought to the
altar. Their Lordships might do -very well to
amuse themselves with putting questiOns to the
Judges, but to that question they must come 'at
last. Had they not better meet it manfully at
once ? But if they 'preferred waiting till the
Judges had decided a point of law totally irrele-
vant to a point of duty, he should not further ob-
ject to their wasting their time in doing that,- as
he conceived they could not waste it in a worse
manner than they had hitherto done.,
Lord ExsKl E wished to add- a supplemental
• -question to the JudgeS, which would legalize that
object on which their Lordships had expressed•so
much"difference of opinion. The question tvhich
he wished to ask was this.: " 'Whether, suppos-
ing that,-according to the rules of law, evidence
of a conspiracy to suborn witnesses in support of
any prosecution ought•not to be admitted, except
So far as it applied to the prosecutor or.theagent
employed by him, general 'eVidence of such a
conspiracy would not, nevertheless, in the first
instance be received' as a prelintinary step to in-
stituting criminal proceedings against the Prose-
cutor himself or the agent employed by him, and
whether the sane rules as to receiving evidence
did not apply with respect to indictinga Defend-
ant in case of a counter=conspiracy ?"
The LORD CHANCELLOR, acting on the same
principle which .had induced him
,to express a
wish that some Noble Lord would refer the for-
mer point to the decision of the. Judges, fully as-
sented to the propriety of. also putting the pre-
sent question.
'Lord ERSKINE'S question was then referred to
the consideration of the Judges, and the House
adjotirned at Half-past Two, till to-morrow
morning.
