ADDRESS OF THE HIGH SHERIFF

TO THE MEN .EMPLOYED IN TUB CoLLIERIES AND
IRON WORKS IN THE COUNTY OP MONMOUTH.
Wei:acmes—l thus publicly address you---not less far tha
•.eke of Yourselves and Families, than for the peace- of this
County, which it is equally my duty and determivation to pre-
serve.

Riotous meetings haVe taken place,anJ outrages been corn•.
suitted disgraceful to the character of Englishmen;. if igno-
rant of the consequences of such prorxedings—listen in time'
to the friendly voice that would guard you againstthem.-
What excuse can You have fur sucl► conduct? What motive
for Looking that which is already bad, u►uch %versa ? You cum-

of distress, and that your wages are too law—lour ilis-
ess is to he inticd ; in common with all classes of the commu-
nity yon feel the pressure of the times, but look to the situa-
tion of your employers—is not half a loaf better than no
bread, and is it nut wiser to work at. reduced wages, than to
deprive yourselves 4:together of employment ?
Besioes---tme moment's reflection must sheer, that the steps
many 9f you have taken to remedy the evils of which you com-
plain, can only serve to increase them, and to in\•olvc your-
selves in gjlt, misery, and ruin.

Let nee thcrefure invite you, and intreat youtfor the sake of
yourselves, jour vives, and children, to return instantly and
peaceably to your several employments. The present clouds,
it is to ne hoped, will be soda followed by sunshine, and bet-
ter times may soon relieve the distress you now suffer.

But I feel it, right seriously and most solemnly to caution
you against the repetition of any riotous proceeding whatever.
As the Keeper of the King's peace in this Camay, I must and
will do my duty, and it circumstances render it necessary, I
shall immediately direct, in person such a civil and military
force as will ensure tranquillity, whilst the most prompt rind
decisive punishment is Stile to overtake the guilty.

I•IENRY PROTIJEROE, Sheriff.

Tl►e friends of the biennial LORD MAYOR dines
together yesterday -in round numbers, his Roya
Highness of Sussax in the Ctrair. One woul►

be at a loss to know, ►shat business Sini of the

KING, Rad a Brother of the RaGENT, could have
at a place where the King was forgotten by all,
and the Mince WAS hissed by some of the well-bred
Gentlernen present,wlio thought this a compliment
to their President ; but probably the solution is to
be found in the Address of Ilamki to Polonws, and
we might say it was not the. Duke of Sussex, a
Prince, and a Peer, but

" I know you very well—You're a riahmonger;"

for so did his Highness in courting low popu-
larity, among tho,e who love not
.his Hone,
describe himself. This herug a FishmorNer, is,
it seems, a very grand recommendation, for it was
also the chief argunsen: used to induce the Com-
pany to toast the Princess CHARLOTTE, Hint lwr
Husband was a Fishmonget ! Till now we lite-
rally did not know that it wns a Iv!rir better than
being a Fellmonger. But' we see our mistake,
and shall immediately get' enrolled in the Wor-
shipful Corporation, and sit, hail fellow well
met, with Fishmonger Princes, and Fishmon-
ger Mayors, and all tire Liberty and .Etivality
Fishmongers who may meet at City Dinners
and enlighten the. World, shining like Fish in
decay through phosphoric or inward light, with
their politics, their opinions, their stale notions,

their erudition, and their beauty laughs at the
jolly idea of Parliament coming to an untimely
end ! " Fah!" Hamlet Huain.

it is a known fact in Natural History, that ifi
loading Gnost flies due east, with the light in its eyes
and the wind in its teeth, a number of other Geese
will follow its example. It is exactly thetamein
Political History, as we tee by tl►e string of imita-
tions of the Meeting, toconsider the public disttess,
which are taking place. A trick has been resorted
to, in order to procure a meeting of this sort at
Manchester, and another at Boston: As these as-
semblages do not consider of alleviating the tlisress

their orators so pathetically describe, they might,
in so far as the good of the Country is concerned,
just as welt stay at home, every man minding his
o►vn work instead of tl►e work of the Constitu-
tional Authorities.

At a perir,►i wilen a seasonable day is worn►
as much at least to the Empire as a Reform
Meeting, we are happy to •notice that the pre-
sent is one of the finest days which we have ex-
perienced since the heginninc of October, though

the weather generally during► the month has been
prnvidenrially most favourable to husbandry and
the harvest..

There was lately a report in Paris that the
Chancellor was going out, and that PASQUIR ft
was to have the seals in his place ;, it has blown
over tar the present. it is, however, said to be
certain, that if the resent Ministry should
triumph, they will soon get rid of the Chancellor,_
and that they are not satisfied With CORVSTTO
either.

TILE TURATRE.

Co"Rwr-GAttbetsr..--Should it be true that Mr.
KtiMBLE is now piing through his range of Cha-
racters for the last time, then .did wester-even
present its Willi a performative in his Coto, the like
of which we shall never look upon again.. Were
it not the higher honour of this eminently gifted
individual to be born it Briton, we wont(' say that
he looks as if his native place was ancient 4orne,
and his spirit and genius coeval with the illustrious
men whose heroic deeds have floated down the
stream of ages, brightening in splendour
.and
towering in magnitude us they passed along.
Cato is, we think, a 'lull acting play ; very
deficient in dramatic interest fiery beautiful as a
Poem, where regularity may please, hot too much
ieithin roles either to rouse the passions or excite
the feelings which lie dormant in the human
breasts on visiting a Theatre, and which wait for
the strokes of art" to kindle and hurry them
into all the energy of mental conflict.. Yet, as a
moving picture, there was in the drama of
last night, and, above all, in the performance
of Mr. KEMBLE, SOMething so grand and, dig-
nified ;so remote front every-day life, and
so like • what the imagination has conceived
of classic times and godlike heroes, that it
was impossible not , to be carried away by
the delusive effect, and deeply gratified by the
scent. We cannot ventmse to particularize the
excellence of Mr. KamuLa's acting. lie was
train first. to last the lofty Roman and the philo-
si.ip-lier of ancient history; but Iris dialogue with
Decius, his reproof. of Juba, his exquisite expres-
siou of conflicting emotion on being told of the
death of his son, as well as his demeanour while
his corpse is before his eyes, were so arlinirahle, so
superior to irritation, that they fix, themselves
lastio,Ay on the memory ; and should we ever see
another Pcrformer assume tire part of Coto, if we
most say he play's it well, we will have to add,
" but in Kp.staLs we saw Cato hinhelf ."
Mr. C. K LOME 'and Mr. Atiaor were excellent
in their respective parts;; and much depends on

playing up to the principal," which they fully ac
