WHO ARE THE INCENDIARIES ?

Our readers will not fail to remark the activity of
Cooper, the noted Chartist of Leicester, in all the
accounts from Staffordshire. The colliers were called
by the Chartists to meet on the Crown-bank of
-1211trih.afIn.0. was addressed by Coorr and
aver -peaker,
the work of destruction commenced.-
An account from Hanky says, " Early this morn-
ing, say about seven o'cloCk, Mr. Cooper, the
Leicester-Chartischeaded a vast quantity of people,
namely, colliers, Chartists, &c., assembled at the
George and Dragon Inn. They proceeded in pro.
cession to the Crown-bank in this place, and com-
menced speaking and passing resolutions ; but of
course my engagements prevented me from hearing
them; but after they had done speaking, the mob pro-
ceeded to the police-office, and stripped it of all the
,arms, viz., handcuffs, staffs, chains, books, &c. The
books were torn to pieces and thrown ab'out the
tteets," &c. From one excess they proceeded to an-
other, first gutting houses, and at length so far em-
boldened as to burn them.
-Now, who is this Cooper, whose orations were so
flninediately followed by these outrages ? -It will be
"orne in mind that till the appearance of this fellow
and his associates the colliers committed- no gross
Zarages.
...Our readers must recollect the exposure to which
the quarrels of the Chartists at Leicester, among
'neraselves, led in February last. In the lforning
Chronicle of February 23, and March the Ist, ap-
Peared very detailed accounts, copied from the Leices-
tershire Mercury, of the disclosures made at Chartist
14eetings by Cooper, Markham, and other noted in-
dividuals, in the course of their mutual accusations.
Cooper, in a letter addressed to the Leicestershire
Mercury, toes very largely into the offences of
which he was accused. Cooper had at one time
Peen connected with the Stamford Mercury, and
%17,s brought from Greenwich by the Editor
°I the Leicestershire Mercury to Leicester, in
November,
1840, and for fifteen weeks was a re-
Porter on that journal. " It appears from the 'admis-
Tn of that he was in the pay of the Tories.
e Chartists received ymoney from Mr. Phillips (of
the firm of Messrs Clark, -Phillips, Mitchell, and
bankers, in Leicester), a leading Tory, and
Nlfidential friend of the Duke of Rutland. Cooper
dtnits having received two bags of silver from the
Tory candidates at the last borough election, and 501.
from the Tories at the county election. At the Not-
tingham election he was in connexion with Mr. Wal-
ter, and through his ;influence with him was allowed
I" figure as a reporter in the Times newspaper.
We say no more at present. This man, ostensibly
a Chartist, was proved to be, and admitted he was, in
tne pay of the Tories. He appears in Staffordshire,
and as soon as he speaks the work of outrage and de-
struction commences. Many poor unfortunate per-
scms will in all probability pay for the crimes with the
forfeit of their lives.
We were struck with seeing the prominence lately
given by the Times to this Cooper. Our readers will
now draw their own conclusions from what we have
