MEETING OF THE COVENTRY RIBBON-

WEAVERS.

On Monday night a Meeting of tbe Weavers was
held in the Lancasterian school-room, for the pur-
pose of taking into consideration the best means of
raising a fund for the relief of the families of the
men committed to prison for the riot at Whoberly.
At six o'clock Mr. RICE was called to the chair,
who briefly-declared the object of the Meeting.
After which the following Resolutions were
adopted, and the Meeting adjourned :
" Resolved, 1. That in the opinion of this Meet-
ing, any breach of the public peace committed by the
operatives is detrimental to their real interest, and
We cannot but regret that occurrence which has sub-
jected some of our fellow-artisans to prosecution and
punishment.
" Resolved, 2. That this Meeting, in referring to
the bite transactions at Moberly, cannot possibly
separate the effect from the cause, arid hereby ex-
presses its conviction, that had not Mr. Woodcock
attempted a breach upon the present low list of
prices, no insult would have been offered to himself,
or damage done to his property.
" Resolved, 3. That as no proof has been given
that any of the five who have been committed
did destroy the property of Mr. Woodcock, this Meet-
ing cannot but sympathise with them in their distress,
and hereby resolve to contribute towards their com-
fort and the maintenance of their families.

" Resolved, 4. That, as in the opinion of this
Meeting a friendly feeling exists (and that very ge-
nerally) towards these poor men, it is deemed pru-
dent to solicit contributions throughout the to►vn.
" Resolved, 5. That a Committee be appointed
for the general superiatendance of this business, and
to,solicit subscriptions."

THEATRICAL POLITICS.—If political par-
ties in France were not thrown into such violent col-
lision by the state of the Government, they would find a di-
vet sion to their strife in another species of warfare, in which
they profess to feel nearly as great an interest. The par-
tisans of the romantic and classic schools of literature.
who have been for some time past issuing manifestoes against
each other in the Journals, and in works of criticism, have
now come to open hostilities on the stage. The Theatre
Francais, or theatre for the regular drama in Paris,
hitherto the stronghold of the classical party, sup-
' ported by the overwhelming reputation of COR-
NEILLE, RACINE, and VOLTAIRE, WAS the scene
of combat, which was won on Sunday by the
Romantiques and SHAKSPEA RI. The immediate subject
of contention was Othello, or the 2lloor of Knicc, intro-
duced to a French audience by a young poet named M.
ALFRED de VIONY, and it is surprising with what
heat the battle was carried on. The romantic party
who chiefly occupied the pit and orchestra, applauded
every word, every sentiment of the English poet,
while the opposite faction, lodged in the boxes and gal-
leries, returned their plaudits with hooting, hissing, and
laughing. At the dropping of the curtain it was evident
that the former had succeeded, as the author of the
translation was called for, and named with applause,
and the name of SHAKSPEA RE, or, as the actor
who announced the translator expressed it, "le Grand
SHAKSPEA RE," was hailed with bravos by a large m ,jority
of the audience. The journals are as much divided in
this dispute as the audience appears to have been; the
Constitutionnel the Gazette de France, and some others,
supporting the classical party, and the Quotidienne and
Messager des Chambres inclining on the other side,
the Journal des Debats affects a kind of neutrality.
THE LATE TURN-OUT OF COTTON-SPlN-
NElts.—Amongst other evil consequences resulting from
the late turn-out of fine spinners, we understand the re-
ceipts of the gas-directors, for lighting factories, shops, and
public houses, have been diminished by at least 2,000/.

This extraordinary individual made yesterday
a most extraordinary change in the routine of
his performances. After washing his hands in
molten lead and cleansing his Mouth with boil-
ing oil, he was proceeding to swallow his usual
dose of phosphorus, when a voice from the
lower end of' the room called upon him to take
a tea-spoonful of prussic acid in its stead. The
Fire King made a slight demur at first to this
proposal, on the.ground that it was necessary to
make some preparations, which he had not made,
before he swallowed that deadly poison ; but
shortly afterwards he declared, that as he had
" publicly challenged the whole world to take a
tea-spoonful of prussic acid, half an ounce of
arsenic, and six grains of phosphorus within a
quarter of an hour," he would not shrink, on
the present occasion, from the performance of a
feat, which was but a part of what lie had for-
mally undertaken to accomplish. As he had
always stipulated that he should be permitted' to
take the antidote for prussic acid before he took
the prussic acid itself, he left the room for a few
minutes to fortify himself against its effects.—
On his return, he was preparing to fill a tea-
spoonfol with it, out of a bottle of his own,
when the same individual, who had first c.al d
upon him to perform this dangerous experiment,
requested him to fill it out of a vial which he
produced out of his pocket. The Fire-King
showed no reluctance ; but stated that he be-
lieved the prussic acid which was contained in
his vial, was as strong as any that could be pro-
cured. He then called upon the individual to
fill the spoon from his own stores. The indi-
vidual refused, assuring him that there was no
juggle in the contents of his vial—that it con-
tained real prussic acid, and that three drops of
it would kill the strongest man. The Fire-King
was undismayed at this declaration, and again
called on the individual to supply him with a
dose. Again the individual refused, on which
the Fire-King requested that if he was afraid of
administering the dose, he would at least give
him (the Fire-King) the vial which contained
it. The vial was in consequence handed over
. to the Fire-King ; and there was a strong con-
trast between the trembling hand with which its
owner reached it to the Fire-Icing and the steady
hand with which the Fire-King poured a tea-
spoonful out ofit. At this moment the anxiety of
the spectators was intense ; and as the Fire-King
took his station in the middle of the room, in
order that every body might see him swallow
the poison, there was aleneral cry that he should
not venture on so hazardous a performance. But
the Fire-King felt that his honour was at stake,
and sinking down upon one knee, called upon a
gentleman near him to pour the poison down his
throat. The gentlemen declined, having proba-
bly before his eyes
.the fear of a coroner's in-
quest, to say nothing of an indictment for mur-
der, in case the Ere-King should (lie of the
poison which he administered. The Fire-King
then called upon several gentlemen one after
another to perform this service for him ; but not
one could be found with sufficient courtesy to
render it. One person said to him—" But
what will become of me, Monsieur, if you
should die ?"—" Bah !" replied the Fire-King,
" I shall not die. If I do, come hack and
bury myself; so don't you trouble your head
further about me, but give me the spoon, and
I'll soon take off the poison." The spoon was
then given to him. He put it into his mouth,
deliberately drank its contents, then opened his
mouth again to show that he had swallowed
them, and then jumped upon his feet. For a
moment he staggered, and appeared unable to
stand. His eyes at the same moment rolled
frightfully in his head, and his whole appearance
was disordered. A feeling of consternation
pervaded the room, but it was not of long con-
tinuation ; for after au effort he recovered him-
self, and declared that all danger was passed. A
general burst of applause testified the interest
which his performance had excited, and the satis-
faction with which its successful isssue wa; wit-
nessed. There was a general desire among the
company to learn whether he had felt any pecu-
liar sensations upon taking a poison so instan-
taneous in its effects: but to the first questions
which were put to him, he begged to be ex-
cused giving any answer, as
.he felt so stupified
that he scarcely knew what he was doing. The
reply was in itself an answer to the question ;
and he was desired by a medical gentleman, who
was present, to sit down and refrain from talk-
ing, till he felt himself recovered. When sub-
sequently questioned as to the effects which the
poison had produced upon him, he said that be
felt a very curious sensation in his temple and
eyes upon taking it ; but that it had soon gone,
and had only left a heaviness behind it. He
then called upon the individual who had furnished
him with the prussic acid, and who subsequently
stated himself to be a Cooper, a chymist of
Exeter, to declare whether he was satisfied., that
the prussic acid which he had produced, was
actually swallowed. Mr. Cooper replied that he
was satisfied ; but confessed himself at a loss to
conceive how such a dose could be taken with-
out destroying life. " Monsieur, give me
one half tea-spoonful more, and I will take it,"
said the Fire-King. " Indeed you shall not,"
was the reply of half the room ; " you have
taken enough for one day at least, and more may
be dangerous." " Oh no danger at all," said
the Fire- King ;" but if the public are satisfied,
so am I. But now let us see whether my prus-
sic acid or that of Mr. Cooper is the strongest."
The strength of the contents of the two vials
were then examined by some medical gentlemen
who were present, and they all agreed that the
Fire-King s poison was the stronger. A young
surgeon whoci was present observed that neither of
them was highly concentrated. lie had known
four drops as strong as that belonging to the
Fire-King administered medicinally in a case
where the patient was yet alive ; still a spoonful
of it was enough to kill three or four men. Here
a proposal was made to try the strength of it on
sonic animal, and a cat, which was playing iu
Mr. Welsh's shop, was selected for the experi-
went. The feelings ofpart of the spectators re-
volted
against this as an unnecessary piece of
cruelty ; but one of the medical gentlemen ap-
peared determined to be convinced that there was
no deceit practised, and accordingly poured four
drops of it down the animal's throat, compress-
ing its mouth tightly for a few seconds after he

Though we are ourselves satisfied that the
Vire-King took the poison from the same vial
from which the dose was afterwards taken which
killed the cat, still we must not conceal, either
irom Chahert, or from the public generally,
:hat the exTeriment yesterday was not quite so
satisfactory as some of his friends in the room
.ieerned to imagine. It might be—we are far
from saying ch•.cvtm thinking that it was—but it
night be that Mr. Cooper %Yes in concert with

sion required. Now it so happened that
day the Fire-King gave the vial back to fr.
Cooper, from which he poured the dose sup-
posed to be prussic acid; that Mr. Cooper, on
receiving it, put it into his pocket, and that some
time after, when he WAS requested to try the
strength of the poison on the cat, he took chit a
vial of a similar form, from which four drop=:
were poured out, which destroyed the enimara
life. Now, though we have no doubt that it
was the same vial, it is possible that it might he
a different one ; and, to render the experiment
quite satisfactory, the vial from which tlo; Fire-
King pours the poison should be deposited opt
the table, in view of the company, whilst 110
empties the spoon, and afterwards part of !t4P
contents of that same vial should be tried on the
unfortunate animal whose fortune it is to be sa-
crificed to the curiosity of the company. Thil
was not done yesterday,—and so far the experi•
meat failed in being completely satisfactory. We
have no doubt that, on same future occasion,
this modern Mithridates will make such arrange-
ments as will deprive the incredulous even !!)1
those natural scruples ; and'tlrat he will suecad.
in convincing the whole world, which he has
challenged, that there is as little doubt about the
reality of his taking a tea-spoonful of prussic acid,
as there is about the reality of his swallowing 40
grains of phosphorus without injury.
We heard it stated in the yoom that TA. Cha-
bert either has; or fancies that he has, discovered
a remedy for hydrophobia. tie has not yet, we
understand, brought it to all the perfection which
he desires ; but he feels confident that in six'
months he will be able to let a mad-dog bite him
without suffering any other injury than !hat
which would be inflicted by the bite of a dog
mad.

GENTLEMEN'S FASHIONS FOR

NOVEMBER.

(Flom the Gentleman's Magazine of Fashions, 4-e.)
RIDING OR PROMENADE DRESSES.—The coat is
of bronze-green Spanish cloth; the collar is made
very full, the ends of which are quite square, and
formed with small lappels, just half the size of the
collar, which roll together from the breast to the
second button at the waist ; a very small plain gilt
button, set sufficiently from the edge of the coat that,
notwithstanding the breast of the coat folds a good
deal hark, every button must be seen; the pockets
are under the flaps at the hips, and have two gilt
button; to button them up occasionally; the sleeves
aro quite plain at top, and without wadding, but the
cuff fits close to the wrist, and buttons mith two
smaller gilt buttons; the skirts are lined with the
same cloth. The waistcoat is of buff Cachemire, of
a straw I pattern, the figures of which are interwoven
with silk ; it is made quite short in front, and so full
in the collar, that, when it is turned back, the breast
turd collar are in a straight line. Dove-colou-,NI
eusimere trousers ; they are made to fit the leg and
thigh easily, hut are tight at the hips; a pair of gaiters
of the same stuff, cut square at the toes, and fastening
under the shoe with two polished steel buckles, com-
plete this dress.—There is a coat of a most elegant
description for a morning dress ; the collar, which is
very short, and does not exceed 17 inches, alto-
gether, in length, is very broad behind, and falls
upon the back ; the collar and lappels are of velvet,
of a purple hue, and turn so effectually below the
waist in front, as to turn the skirt with it to the

It will be seen by our report in another co-

tons a note, presented on the 25th September, b)
NI. Healing, Minister from the King of Bavaria,
,tonceraing the enlisting of Bavarian subjects in the
Swiss regiments raised .for foreign service. Tht
:tote repeats the grievances which have already been
laid before the Confederation by the Bavarian Lega-
,ion, and which have frequently recurred since; and
his Majesty was particularly struck with the circum-
stance during his journey in Italy. The Ministee
has received orders to renew the desire that no Ba-
h varian subject might henceforth be enlisted in Sevis.
regiments. The Minister hoped that the Diet would
have taken a resolution to that effect, and acknow-
ledge,: the excellent spirit shown by the representa-
tives of the several Cantons. But the Diet has not
yet passed any resolution, and the complaints of
Bavaria are not removed. The laws of Bavaria do
not allow any of its subjects to enlist in foreign ser-
vice, and by so doing they lose their rights as Ba-
varian citizens. The desire, therefore, that Switzer-
!and should forbid the practice must be acknow-
ledged to be just. In consequence of this note the
Federal Government has invited the Governments
of the Cantons to take it into serious considcratior,
and to inform it of their resolution to give an answer
to the Bavarian Minister. The Diet has frequently
acknowledged the disgraceful nature of this enlistin:4
of foreigners, which is a kind of piracy, and this
very year the resolution called for by NI. Healing
was proposed as a measure necessary to prevent the
increase of the unfortunate class of individuals called
Ileimathlosen (the homeless, that is, who have no
legal settlement in any Canton), since foreigners so
enlisted lose their rights as citizens at home, and are
not recognized as such by those who enlist them.
The proposal was not adopted because the foreign
military service, and all the shameful traffic which
accompanies it, are not a national concern. It is
necessary that those Cantons that desire to perpetuate
this abuse should be at length known.
FRANKFORT, OCT. 23.

The Courier de Smyrne contains the following
private letter from Canea, the writer of which it
says deserves entire confidence. "Oa the 10th
August an English ship brought from Alexandria
nine Greek slaves, liberated by Suleiman Pucka.

The particulars of this affair deserve to be known.
About three months ago a Turkish ship, being on
the point of sailing for Alexandria, four Turkish
merchants, disregarding the prohibition of the Se-
raskier of Crete, embarked nine Greeks, who had
been made slaves in the war. These slaves
were conveyed to Spina Longa, and thence to
B udroun, where they were put on board another
ship, which took them to Alexandria. Suleiman
Paella being informed of this disregard of his orders,
caused the four Turkish merchants to be arrested,
and confined in a tower of the fortress, declaring
they should remain there till the nine slaves re-
turned. At the same time he wrote to Mehemet
Aly, but the four Turks had also written, to desire
that the Greeks might be sent back, who, in fact,
arrived here a few days ago. Their passage-money,
a►nounting to eighty Spanish dollars, was paid by
the Governor of the town, an officer of the Se-
raskier, in whose house they have been received
with the greatest hospitality.
" As soon as a boat can be procured they will be sent

to Candia, and thence to their relatives. I have
just seen these poor people, who wept with joy,
and bless the beneficent hand which has delivered
them."

We have accounts from Mobile, which state

that the reports of yellow fever there were in-
correct. Some cases of bilious fever had oc-
curred, but the Board of Health have decided
that the yellow fever had not shewn itself.

By a paragraph from the Berks Chronicle,
inserted in our columns of to-day, we find that
the Rev. Dr. VALPY has resigned the Head
Mastership of Reading School. Perhaps there •
is no scholar now in existence, who during the
fifty years that he has presided over this noble
public establishment, has conferred greater bene-
fits on the community than the much-respected
Rector of Stradishall. His Greek and Latin
Grammars, which are models of simplicity and
good sense, and are totally divested of those
technical incumbrances which deform the Eton
works on the same subject, arc of themselves
quite sufficient to keep his name alive in the
grateful recollection of future ages. But inde-
pendently of these high claims on the notice of
the public, it has been his good fortune to form
the intellect of some of the finest scholars of the
day, not a few of whom are now earning a high
reputation in time church and at the bar, and
who justly attribute their success to the generous
spirit of ambition which he first instilled into
their minds.

The Rev. Doctor retires into private life,

happy in the recollections of a well-spent public
career—recollections which, like refreshing sum-
iner dews, cannot fail to steal cheeringly over the
evening of his existence. He has further the
consolation of reflecting that, though he himself
has departed from the busy scene of his triumphs,
his mantle is likely to fall upon worthy shoulders,
in the person of his son, the Rev. F. VALPY.
