"This letter was received with great applause.
One of the resolutions of the meeting was to " present
an address to the Mayor, Corporation, and ►manufacturers
of Coventry, requesting their co-operation in causing the
scale of prices above quoted, to be adopted." The address
Was signed by nearly '7O of the most respectable inhabi-
tants of the place.

Observer Office, Thursday Morning.

This morning the weavers again assembled at -nine
•'clock, in Bedworth, to the number of about 6,000.
They collected together from Balkington, Shilton, Ryton,
and all the adjoining villages, paraded the neighbourhood,
and prevented all the weavers from working. in one shop
at the Black Banks, they took out atnan of the name of
Butcher, and a woman named Smith, whom they donkied ;
the woman fell from the animal in a fit, and is said to be
much injured. Several persons assumed the office of crier,
and went through the parish of Foleshill calling on the
weavers to assemble at the New Inn. Various depreda-
tions are reported to have been committed. It is said that
they intend coming into Coventry this day ; if so, it is
the intention of the Magistrates to prevent their passing
the toll-bar of this city. It is also the intention of the
Magistrates to take the most effectual measures to stop
these riotous proceedings. Several of the weavers have
been apprehended, and one man, named Bird, has been
committed to Warwick gaol, and several others held to bail.

COVENTRY, FRIDAY MORNING.—The Magistrates and
inhabitants generally have been in a state of alarm since
Wednesday morning last, in consequence of a report that
the wearers from Nuneaton, Bedworth, and the neigh-
bourhood, were coming in a body into Coventry. The
Magistrates immediately prepared to resist, in the most
vigorous manner, any such attempt, by ordering the whole
of the police force to be in active preparation ; and also in-
forming Major Mansell, Commanding Officer of the 3d Dra-
goon Guards, tiat it was not improbable that the services of
the military might be required ; as, if riotous proceedings
were resorted to, they should certainly suppress them by
the powerful arm of the law. However, at present, the
mob have not been here ; but yesterday a deputation from
Nuneaton, Bedworth, Bulkington, Attleborough, Ather-
atone, and Foleshill, arrived in Coventry, and had an in-
terview with our Magistrates, by whom they were told,
that one from each place might go to the manufacturers
and urge their requests ; but a tumultuous assemblage
would not be allowed. The men in a respectful manlier
received the communication, and promised to abide by it.
They had an interview with part of the masters, and a list
is now under consideration.

FOLESIEILL.-Within these few days most of the
weavers employed in this place have ceased working, a
man having gone round part of the parish, and announced,
that if any persons continued their work, they would incur
the weavers' displeasure, and some have since undergone
the punishment of "donke,ying."

IMPROVEMENT OF THE PORT OF LIME-
RICK.--It gives us more than ordinary pleasure to be able
to announce to our readers that some of the improvements
recommended by our fellow-citizen, THOMAS STEELE,
Esq., have been ordered by the Chamber of Commerce to
be put into immediate execution. The Chamber has ex-
pressed the highest approbation of his plan in all its details ;
and the improvements to be adopted on the moment are
the establishing a Light-House on the Beeve Rocks, and
the introduction of a novel mode of counteracting the effect
of adverse winds, which have heretofore produced such in-
auspicious retardation in that part of the river called " The
Hole." Mr. STEELS has received the thanks of the Lon-
don Society of Civil Engineers, of which he is a member,
for the essay which he published describing his plan of im-
provement ; and it is particularly gratifying to find, by his
(Mr. S.'s) conversations at our Office, that our highly
talented and public spirited representative, THOMAS SPRING
Rice, Esq., when he was Under-Secretary of State for
the Home Department, made the most strenuous exertions,
with the other Members of the Government, to have this
plan of improvement of the port of Limerick put in execu-
tion.—Limerick Evening Post.

A LIFE PRESERVED, AND ITS VALUE ES-
TIMATED BY THE OWNER.-On the 28th ult., at nine
o'clock in the evening, as some young men were on the
banks of the Wye, near Builth, the river at the time
being much overflowed, they heard a voice from the oppo-
site side of the water crying out in distress for assistance.
The young men, much alarmed, with their utmost speed,
ran near a mile, procured a light, and went to the place
where they thought they heard the voice, and immediately
discovered a person up to his neck in the river and nearly
exhausted, holding by a small bough. The young men
with promptitude, and at the risk of their lives, rescued
him from a watery grave, as doubtless if a few minutes
more had elapsed he could not longer have supported him-
self, and would inevitably have been drowned. He was
carried to the Crown Inn, Builth, where every possible
attention was paid him. The landlord of the inn, actuated
by a proper feeling, gave the young men and those who
assisted them five quarts of cu rw, but when the reckon-
ing was to be paid, the person whose life they had saved
would psy for only four quarts, at the same time observ-
ing it was enough and too much for their trouble ! !
