From " 'rho She!Bela Nlelcsiry," of Saturday last.)

We reigrer to state that in this ttlWll, on Tuesday,
there were some slight indira!ior,s of popular tu-
mult. A more Om) ensto.nary concourse of per-
sor,s of is jilv"trile description, and many of them
apparmtlystrangers, had been observed u) parade
tilt. streets in the clay tine, aril in the evening
S:!verat hundreds had assembkd in the Wicker,
Shak3-t' our, euil other places, some of tvhorn

were provith d tt itlt fife-artn4, which they occa-
sionlry di, not perhaps for the purpose
of annoyance in ,7:ty other way than that of creat-
ing alarm. A person named John Blacker, a
tailor by trade, who for riotous conduct had been
previously confint,i two years in York Castle, has
been apprehended, and again commi•ted to the
lame place. Several rounds of bAll-cartritlge, a
loader{
pistol, and a pike of a most terrific descrip-
tion, were sound on the pr!ittises oft employer,
land knotv we are infot uteri, t"belii-Wg to Blacker.
What advantage such a person can possibly hope to
ilerire from the effects that any pope! r commotion
might produce, we are at a loss to imagine. Ile
and ever tvill he, a cripple, of a tiwat
lore, wish a mind as little to be admired as
his body, having no propensity, that we eter
beard of, to any purpose whatsoever, the obvious
tendency of which is not mischief. The gallery
of the theatre, of which he was denominated the
King, was for some years the chosen scene of his
monkey-like exploits. The prompt determina-
tion, however, of the late Mr. Fitzgerald, and
the perseveting !wanner in which he insisted
triton a compliance with the rules of order, cur-
tailed the period of his troublesome reign in that
Celestial region, and occasioned him, perhaps, to
take the lead in far inure dangerous purposes and
pursuits; for soon alter we find hint heading a
trtob, and carrying a loaf, that bad been previously
slipped in blood, elevated on the head of a pike.
This notable deed was followed by a long term
of imprisonment, hut not sulliciently so, it ap-
pears, to deter Lim from again pursuing a course
chat mill probably once more expose him to
chastisement, •;!!(1 the stern sentence of the,law.
