SAILING MATCH.
ARUNDEL YACHT CLUB. •
The annual below-bridge match for a handsome Silver
ec
Cup aod Cover, gi bte members of this hl re-
sptable Club, tookven Play ce h
on Monday. Thehi folglowy ing
had been entered to contend :
Dauntless, 7 tons, Mr. T. Edwards, blue with red cross;
Bermudian Maid, 7 tons, Mr. H. Bailes, red over white;
Rocket, G tons, Mr. Stanton, red over white ; and Bri-
ton, 7 tons, Mr. J. Gardner, blue.
The Briton and Dauntless from the first moment of
entry divided the interest, and although the other two
are very excellent boats, they neither came to the start-
ing place, leaving the first-mentioned pair to dispute the
honour of the day. The wind blew from the east a
gentle air, with an occas-onal calm, deficient in strength
to test the power of a boat to any great extent. The
Club officers were accommodated with a view of the
match on board the Brilliant, which accompanied the
race throughout, and at eleven in the morning the Daunt-
les; and Briton were in readiness, facing the Royal Hos-
pital at Greenwich, to sail from thence to Greenhithe
end back. The start took place at a quarter past eleven,
and both were in trim at the same moment. The Daunt
less took the lead and kept it, arriving at Greenhithe at
eight minutes to three, and her opponent at seven mi-
nutes after three. . In.the running up, the Dauntless still
held her position, and won the race by nine minutes.

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
Shelton. The meeting was addressed by Cooper and
other Chartist speakers. At the close of the meeting
the work of destruction commenced.
An account from Hanley says, " Early this morn-
ing, say about seven oclock, Mr. Cooper, the
Leicester Chartist, headed a vast quantity of people,
namely, colliers, Chartists, &c,, assembled at thg
Georg.: and - Dragon TIP! They proceeded in pro-
cession to the Crown-bank in this place, end porn-
meneed speaking and passing resolutions of
course my engagements preventea me from hearing
them; but after they had done speaking, the. Mob pro-
ceeded to the police-office and stripped it of all the
ariPg; V 4.1 handeutfa; staffs, chains, books, &c, The
hooks were torn to pieees and tiqclWo abot the
streets," &c. From one excess they proceeded to an-
other, first gutting houses, and at length so far em-
boldened as to burn them.
Noy, who is this cooper, whose orations so
imraediatolyfolickrecl by IheSe nntrages..? 'lt will ho
borne in' mind that till the appearance of this fellow
and his associates' the colliers committed no gross
outrages.
Our readers must recollect the exposure to which
the quavreis or ii,6 Chailtista at Leicester, among
themselves, led in February last. In the Morning •
Chronicle of February 23, and March the Ist, ap-
peared very detailed accounts, copied froth the Leices-
POMO gerPrel of the flinlqwP willtt at }hartist
Tneetipgs by CoOpel;, Afarkham, and other noted in-
dividuals, in the course of their mutual accusations.
Cooper, in a letter addressed to the Leicestershire
Mercury, goes very lasey into the tlfiellee4

-been connected with the Stamford Mercury, and
was brought from Greenwich by the Editor
of the Leicestershire Mercury

The Chartists received money from Mr. Phillips (of

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, Aim. 16.,-After the reading hi the Cham-
ber to-day" of M. Dupintg report on the Regency Law,
M. L'Herbette proposed that a day should be fixed
for addressing interpellations to the Minister, and
having a solemn debate.
M. Guizot replied that he was at the orders of the
Chambers.

The President then put to the.vote the proposal of
M. L'llerbette, and but 15 Members of the Left rose
in support of it. Accordingly it was decided that
there should be neither debate nor interpellations.
M. Dupin's report made some changes in Art. 2
of the project of law. The ChaMbers are to be con-
voked in forty days after the King's death, not in
three months.

By Article 6, the King's guardianship is to be con-
fided to his mother`; and in default of a mother to
his grandrnother.

'TAIE INTRUDER INTO WINDSOR
CASTLE.

The man who was apprehended under suspicious
circumstances in the- footman's waiting-room at
Windsor Castle .on Monday, after
having been
examined by the Earl of Liverpool, the Lord
High Steward, was committed to the Wind-
sor station-house for the night, and in the
morning was conveyed to London by the first train,
in the custody of Inspector Steed. On his arrival in
town he was taken to the Gardiners'-lane station,
where he remained until late in the after-
noon,
when he was taken to the Home-
office, and examined by Sir James Graham.
The examination lasted some time, and at its conchi-
sign, we understand, the prisoner was remanded to
Tothill-fields Bridewell. He is a short, spare man,
apparently about forty years of age, and was
dressed in a velveteen
.had a
jacket and troupers, and
wore a black glazed hat. -When apprehended.
he had in his hand a bundle,
.contain-
ing a shirt and pair of sho6s, and he

with him: rt
e stated that he had
followed a pot-boy who was carrying beer into the
Castle, and that having lost himself, he had sat down
the matter. No is,dangerous weapon
to rest. This most prObably, a correct account of
has been found on
him, and nothing has transpired to connect him in
any way with Toryism, Whigis-m, -Chartism, or any
of the other isms. If his intentions in entering the

'Lieutenant Evans and Dr. Primrose were left.at

Lieutenant Souter marched .with the regiment
from Caubul, and I saw him with the remnant of the
corps at Jugdaluck, but not after. I heard he saved
the co:ours of the regiment, and is a prisoner at
Luenan.

" The foregoing statement was taken by Lieut.
APMahon, of the 44th Regiment, adjutant to the de-
tachment and acting inspector, as given by Kul Kut-
tea dhobie, who was for many years in the service of
the late Colonel Mackrell, and of its correctness we
make no doubt, more particularly as he bears testi-
mony only to what he was an eye-witness of; con-
nected with the fate of the officers of the regiment.

He was taken prisoner near Jugdaluck,-where he
saw the last struggle of the Europeans; the enemy
put a rope round his neck, and dragged him off to
some fort, where he was detained a prisoner for nearly
three months, after which he was liberated, and arrived
at Kurnaul on the 27th of May.

was quite a boy ; a son of the Colonel's dhobie. J."

LITERATURE.

THE BOOK OF ONE SYLLABLE.

We are much pleased with a little volume under
the above title, which contains several tales written
with, great care, not to say elegance, notwithstand-
ing the restraint which the object of the writer must
have imposed. The tales combine instruction with
amusement, and will lend a charm to the early stages
on the road to learning, which has hitherto been
wanting. The reading in propria persona is always
an object of ambition with a child, and the-difficulties
which those-troublesome words of two, three, Or mare•
syllables put • in the • way of its attainment, often
serve as. a serious check to • further *exertion, • This
difficulty the book of one syllable was meant (we -pre-
sume), to- remove out of the path of young readers,.
and we think the authors have admirattly.aecoMplished
their self-imposed task. We say " authors,"lbr the fact
is that some of the little tales are written by children
under thirteen years of age ; andthis circumstanceadds
materially to the interest the little work inspires. It
will please those for whose perusal it is intended all
the more, that the stories are all true, Ate incidents
having happened in the fainily'itself.hy-tte members
of which the book is written. The 'language is easy
• and graceful, and no nursery ought to he without the
" Book of One Syllable."
'We would gladly quote as a specimen of the style
a quaint tale, entitled- ".The Mfiri in •the Moon,"
which, from its style and manner.' very different from
many modern tales, has revived the earliest of our
own recollections of books ; but the demand on our
pages for • matter of a sterner, if not so pleasing a
nature, forbids, and we can only recommend 'the tale
,and the book to youthful readers. ..

• REFUSAL OF THE Cox-AcIL or BERWICK
TO DINH TUESEANCIR LoNnoN.—A meeting
of the Memb . of the Town. CouneLtwas summoned on

•
Thursday by the Mayor, for the purpose of «taking 7
consideration tho propriety of inviting the Lord )),layor
of London to dine with the Corporation, on the occasion
of his approaching visit to the borough," The -meeting
was appointed for twelve o'clock $ll4-I.lrat-a quarter past

Mayor were in attendance. _The number ipment" being
only half of the quorum, it was eNi.d4Neti,tileit no order

porters that the ineqtrig vas a private .one, we are unable
to ruport what afterwards occurred in our absence. The

mitted.—Berwick Acleor eaer.

THE LATE LIIIUTENANT RICIINRD CREED.—A

of Ws dtstinguished officer, who fell, after twelve years'
service in the Bt.mbay Artillery, in'tbe attack upon the
fort of Kujjuk, in the Upper Smde: on the 20th of Feb-
ruary, 1841, ha%Ast hoeu erected by his brother officers.
in the sontliah aisle of Westminster Abbey, nearly op-
osit'.l the well-known monurnut of Mr. Thynne, and
ugt above the monument of Major Creed, who was slain
at the battle of Blenheim. The monument is a tabular

altar monument c white marble, surmounted by a
railiturT 1-104;c4, wreaths of laurel, and a sword. The
ile4iga Is very classic, and the whole is elaborately
earvod. The inscription sets forth the -military and
moral worth of the deceased, and the regret of his com-
panions in arms at his premature loss, in leading the
attack upon the fklrbress in which he fell. it is highly to
the honor;; fat alio deceased, and to those by whom it has
beigl e),Nviited.

Tut', ~MODEL PRISON AT RENTONTILLE.—This
prison is now completed, and will shortly be made avail-
able to the purposes for which it has been erected. The
plan was deterramea on after a most laborious and care-
ful inquiry into the construction of and state of discipline
practised in most of the prisons in Europe, the \Vest
Indies, and North America, as well as those in Great
Britain and Ireland. The construction of the prison
is considered to be a decided improvement over all
aimilar buildings, particularly as regards carrying
oat the separate or sileitt system of discipline.
The expenses incurred in carrying the scheme to
completion, it is stated, have exceeded twenty thousand
pounds. Thts Is independent of the eost of erecting
the Imilvilngs. It is understood that it sill be opened
istir the reception of its unhappy inmates early next
mothh. In the meantime all the appointments will be
filled up. The applications for the principal situations
have been -very numerous. Upwards of one hundred
eat.,:lidates for the appointment of governor have sent in
testimonials, most of them froin highly respectable and
competent persons. The salaries will be as follow,
namely c—Governor, 6001. per annum ; Surgeon, 400/. ;
Chaplain, 3001. ; Deputy-Governor, 2001. ; Master-ma-
aufacturer, 2001., with suitable residences, &e. The in-
ferior officers, with residences outside in the angles, will
have salaries from 120/. to 60/.

IhistoNn Cur DIAMOND.—On Monday ce'nnight
a spirit merchant was charged before the Police-court,
Dundee, under the following eircumstatfees :—A public-
house keeper had sent '‘o the shop of the former for a
gallon and a half of whisky ; the merchant had an old
accotrAt ajrdnst this individual, and he could not get a
:7,oitlement, whereupon he mused a gallon and a half of
water to be put into a jar, and sent it to the individual,
for which 125., ware paid down' on delivery. Shortly
after it, wha delivered, some individuals having called for
v. iiiii of whisky, the landlady filled it out of the new
stock of water. The 'saioilady immediately took a friend
along with lw;•, and called upon the inuehant, who, in-
stead c,4,! making any apology or sottlement, stated with
caa utmost sang frond that he would put the 12s, down
to the old accounti upon this a complaint was lodged
and the party summoned. The case ,Nss dearly proved,
and iia was fined in the suni. of two guineas—a
.greater amount than the old debt altogether,—Edin-
burgh Courier,
Rom;o:Tic, Tr 'NOT TutE.-=—A,,gentleman well
ka,,on to the sporting world became indebted to an ac-
quaintance for a sum which he could not discharge.
Tlie creditor became importunate, and, as is too often
the case, pressed his claim in proportion to the neces-
sities% and not to the means of his debtor. The latter
bore his fate with silence and resignation, until a change
took place in his circumstances, and then he addressed
these lines to his old assailant :-.--" Sir, you hit me hard
when 1 was down. I have now recovered my footing.
and thus Ireturn the blow." The said blow was con •
waved in a cheque for the suns owing. In the course .of
time the old creditor became himself involved in difficul-
ties, when a second letter was sent, as follows ;—" Sir,
now you an, down, take that." A cheque for a hundred
pounds was the damage received. To this the creditor
answered—" Sir, you'd better not bit me again !"
ST. JANIEs' DAY PAlR.—Thursday was St. James'
Day Fair, and it was well supplied with horses, cows,
and pigs ; for the latter there was almost no demand,
and, at ruinous low prices, a few changed hands. Some
excellent much cows were shown, but there were few.
purchasers.Mr,
111‘Kinlay, of Glasgow, bought a large
lot at a fair price ; they were mostly young beasts. The
greater proportion of, the cattle shown were driven oft
the field, their price hising never` 'been asked. The
show of first-rate work horses haS rarely been equalled,
at prices varying from 201. to 351., with a few purchasers.
Several good colts Were shown, one of which was sold
for 20/, In roadsters, hacks, and the tag-rag and bob-
tail that tend to make a complete horse fair, there was
some " couping," but no purchasing. , Altogether it was
a miserable fair, and must tend to open the eyes of the
landholders to the distress that is in the country as well
as in the lawn. The streets were never, we may say,
emptier on a fair- Thursday.. The streets are all but
empty, with tha exception of the Cross and Jail open;

A ,ARMING STATE OF
THE COUNTRY.

LATEST PARTICULARS.--(YESTERDAY.)
MANCHESTER.
TUESDAY EVENINCi, SEVEN O'CLOCE.—At noon the
deelsest anxiety prevailed at the Town-hall. The
moanted patrol, who had just arrived, brought intel-
ligence from all their districts, that large bodies of
strangers were entering the town in every direction,
particularly along the Ashton road, who were armed
with bludgeons. They had, however; conducted
themselves peaceably, and the special constables had
retained their posts. Groups of persons from the
country- are wandering in all directions throughout
the town. A larger concentration of special con-
stables has taken place at the Town-hall. Alarm-
bells have been: placed in most of the wards to call the
Tecial constables of those districts to their posts at'
the alarm of danger. Although this is the chief
marketeday, there is not the slightest semblance of
liminess, the merchants here being at their several
posts, and the manufacturers kept at home in their
own localities from the dread of danger. Yesterday
the; military strength of the town was 2,210 men,
besides two howitzers and four six-pounders. Of the
former there are—of Royal Horse Artillery, 70 men;
Foot
,Artillery,
.40 ; third battalion of Grenadiers,
about. 500; 58th Regiment of Infantry, 600; 60th
Rifle Corps, 600; and Ist Royal Dragoons and
Lancers, 300. This has, however,• been diminished
by the draught for service at Warrington, and several
other demands have been made. A large detachment
of Rifles is stationed in temporary barracks in the
warehouses at the termini of the Manchester and I;i_r
mingham Railway, partly to be in readiness in ease of
an attack on the rails of that railway, which has been
threatened. •
At the meeting of Delegates at Carpenters' Hall,
held ,yesterday afternoon, the Chairman informed
them that meetings were to be held both by the Dis-
senting ministers and the shopkeepers to aid in the
exertions in which they were then engaged. He be-
lieved that the intention of the meeting was to pre-.
vent their fellow-workmen from proceeding to ern-
ploynient until they had come to some' conclusion,
and, if so, it was necessary that they should proceed
to provide for those who Were now standing out.
Mr. Duffy, one of the speakers, in very intemperate
language, proposed that they should proceed to stop
the supplies. He said that they had taken the hint
frdra the Own-law Leaguers, but they saw that there
wore persons who would be Corn-law Leaguers one
dayand special constables the next. Other speakers,
however, said it would be unwise in the extreme to
commence a declaratory war against the authorities.
The resolutions adopted, however, were to the follow-
ing effect
1. That this meeting pledges itself to discontinue
all illegal proceedings, and further, that they will en-
deavoiir to preserve the public peace.
2. That they could not exist with the present rate
Cif wages, and that they are determined n, to go to
work until they obtained the wags of 1839.
3. That each master do p' the, 'Same for the same
'fabric of cloth, throughout llio-sc.hole of the manufac-
turing districts.
4. That it is the Pr;inion of the meeting that their
political rlght4 are imperatively necessary for the
EekVilk4.or: of their rights when they gain them.
ether
pledge themselves to act with their
_other friends and trades generally in gaining the
People's Charter as the only means of having the

ONE 'O'CLOCK.—Although the Manchester dinner
hour,: the streets are crowded with strangers. A man
has just been brought to the Police-office, armed with
a pike, on the Stockport -road, and eleven of the rioters
from Bolton have been brought into the town.
An express came down from the police station at
Stockport-road, requesting aid, and 200 police and
special constables were immediately ready to proceed,
backed by a strong -force of military, but this was
however countermanded by another express. There
are no strangers in the streets but what are armed
with sticks and other weapons. The disaffected dis-
tricts are crowded with persons. In conversation
\with several from Hyde, Ashton, and other places,
they express that the sole object of their visit to the
town is to know to
,what resolutions the delegates will
come. Many express their willingness to return to
work; but that they dare not, and that as they were
compelled to leave work so they will also be com-
pelled to join in anything else which their leaders
may prompt or suggest. They complain of being in
a starving condition, the prudent having drawn their
money out of the savings' banks, and others having
been compelled to part with articles of furniture they
never can replace in order for present support. Sucli
is the character of the tyranny which has deprived
thousands of their livelihood.
The procession to lay the foundation stone of
Hunt's monument is not to take place. The-Magis-
trates sent to the Rev. Mr. Scholfield, in whose
ground the monument was to be erected, stating that,.
under no circumstances,• would they allow it. The
latter then solicited permission to hold a meeting at
another place, which was also refused, and placards
under the authority of the Committee have been eir-
-Iculated throughout the town. A large meeting was
held at the Ilall of Science this morning, at which
wanly 300 delegates, the majority of whom were
from the country, were present. Several trades
Meetings were being held to-day, and a delegate from
Leigh addressed the people from the Sherwood Inn,
'Tib-Street,desiring them, whenever the military were
in sight, in order to give them no opportunity to fire
on thorn, to disperse quietly.
The military are to parade the streets all night on
account of the immense influx of strangers in the
town, who now amount to some thousands.
All the Manchester Newspapers, with the excep.
tion of the Wednesday's Guardian, are published
upon the Saturday alone ; but so great is the interest
excited in the town to know the state of affairs, both
in Manchester and the surrounding districts, that
several of them are publishing editions two or three
times a day. Some of these contain accurate infor-
mation, whilst others, in the Chartist interest, contain
more excitement than news. One of these, in a sin-
gular manner, calls the reports, with regard to these
disturbances, exaggerated, and says that " No good
can arise from Royal Proclamations, or 501. reward
offered for the blood of a fellow-svorkman," whilst it
teems with intelligence from the various districts in
the neighbourhood of a most appalling kind.
The news received from Yorkshire is very distress-
ing, 1 have just seen a gentleman who has come
through Bradford and Halifax, where tumultuous as-
semblages have taken place to-day. The mills are
stopped in the whole line from Leeds to Manchester.
The Yorkshire Yeomanry Hussars are out, as well as
all the military. So great is the requirenient for sol-
diers that there are not twenty in York.
Placards, of which the following is a copy, were
distributed round the town this morning:— ,-
" TO THE TRADES OF :MANCHESTER ANL) THE SFR-

ROUNDING DISTRICTS.
" Fellow-citizens, Impressed with a profound
sense of your great expectancy, and the importance
which you attach to our proceedings, as the true and
boaafide representatives of the people of these dis-
tricts, we hasten to lay before you the result of our
sittings. We find, by reference to the reports of the
Delegatei assembled from various parts of Lancashire
and Yorkshire, that it is the embodied opinion of the
working classes, from a comparison of the past with
the present, as a criterion to judge of the future, that
no snffieient guarantee is afforded to the producers of
wealth, but from the adoption and establishment of
the people's political rights as a safeguard for the
lives, liberties, and interests of the nation generally.
And we are further of opinion that any interference
with the legal and recognised constitutional rights of
the people, whether by placard or otherwise, is detri-
mental to the preservation of the public peace, and
to the protection of property.
"'\% e, the people's delegates, announce to our con-
stituents that we again assemble this day-, at ten
o'clock, supported by the indestructible bulwark of
public opinion, and prepared to watch over and guard
the people's interest, as a personification of the public
will. The meeting proposes appointing delegates to
wait upon and confer with shopkeepers, Dissenting
clergymen, and the middle classes generally, for the
purpose of ascertaining how far they are prepared to
assist and support the people in the struggle for the
attainment of their political rights, as the only means
to , the removal of the wide-spread destitution and
awful distress which prevail throughout these islands.
We, your representatives, call most emphatically upon
the people to discontinue the production or creation of
wealth until the result of our deliberations is made
known to the people whom we represent. We have
only one course of conduct to recommend, which we
know you will most readily adopt, namely, to watch
over the safety of life and property. For ourselves,
we have no other property than our labour, but in the
midst of you we live and have our being; our
parents, our wives, and children, are the hostages we
present to you as our securities, that we will do no-
thing ourselves, nor recommend anything to others,
inconsistent with their safety or your interest.

(ANOTHER ACCOUNT.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY MORNING, 11 &CLOCK.—
A considerable number of the rioters were brought
before some of the Magistrates at the New Bailey,
Salford, yesterday, but in consequence of the neces-
sary absence of the witnesses, who were engaged on
active duty elsewhere, they were remanded for a
week. It was generally understood that although
Their numbers have accumulated to a very inconve-
nient extent in that prison, no examinations can be
taken until this state of excitement is over.
In consequence of the great apprehensions of to-
day, and the fear that, despite all the proclamations of
yesterday, the misguided mob would persist in hold-

ing their procession to commemorate -what is under-
stood as -the "Battle of Peterloo," sonic tai tbe
cities were sitting at the Town- hall all night. The
police, mounted police, and special constable were in
attendance at the 'fawn-hall at half-iiast five o'clork
this morning, from whence they marched to their
various stations commanding, the entrances into the
town, whilst a strong force was in reserve at the
Town-hall. The number o mounted special consta-
hies now exceeds 150, and the others on toot are be-
coming more efficient by being constantly drilled by
the recruiting sergeants under whom they are placed
Their number is now nearly 6,000.
At a meeting of S 2 delegates, held lest evening,
there were 52 who declared for the Charter, 19

a political question, but did not say on what side they
should vote. Two trades declared they would not

The tailors, shoemakers, and every other trade in
the town, have resolved to turn-out to-morrow,
although they are at work to-day, and this additional
number of turn-outs will do very much to add to t' .e
confusion which already exists in the town,

YeAS9rl,ay evening in the large room
of the Sherwood Tib•street, where the 16'Ilowing
resolutions wire agreed to. They are of some im-
portance,:is, apart from political motives, they show
a disr.'isition, on the part of this branch of trade, to
return to employment :
"1. That as the Government of the country -hae,
refused to render the foreign trade proportionate t 6
the wants of the manufacturing classes, it becomes•
necessary that the home trade be encouraged in every
possible way, which this meeting considers can he
best accomplished by raising the price of labour iu
such a manner as will enable the labourers to purchase
a greater quantity of each other's manufacture Than
•their• present earnings empower them to do. •
" a. That so long as the capital of the cot-ant:3- eon--
tint-les in its present drifted condition, profusion for
the few and poverty for the many will exist as nece-4-
sary consequences ; -and that this capital cannot
diffused as beneficially in. an other way as that of
remunerating wages ; the principle being to 'take
something from those that have too intic),, by in-
creasing their expenses, and. -73i':Ing to thud that have
too little by raising the prie-e of the protluee of their
industry.
" 3. That this mePlimr considers it highly impolitit
and irrational for 'arW.perSoll or persons desirous of
increasing tho.•lnternal trade of the country-, to lay or
raise anyilmpediment in the way of the working
Classt•• 111CreaSirip their wages, as it is only by this
efts that the. return of good times can ever again be
.;-x.preted, Witnessed, or enjoyed.
"4. That this meeting deeply laments the back-
wardness of the employers in not meeting to endeavour
to settle matters amicably with their workpeople,
assured that conciliatory words and measures are •
more calculated to preserve the peace of the conntrr
than the display of military parade or braudishmeat
of swords and truncheons.

That this meeting earnestly requests that the
manufacturers of cut fastions will immediatelV come
forward as a worthy example of prudent-; and urba-
nity. and meet alai agree to pay suqhpriees as the
trade will afford.

"6. That to tbrward these proceedings,. a deputa-
tion be appointed at this meeting• to wait on a number
of our employers, and respectfully sclieit them to call
a meeting of the manutaeturers in the same line of
business as speedily as possible; -and that the same
manner of proceeding be recommended by this meeting
to all other ;trades, as delay at this period may be pro-
ductive of the most disastrous consequences.
" That these resolutions be printed and pc.sted
immediately, that the views and wishes of the fustian
cutters may be known to their employ ,r, and to the
publicain_2eneral."

7 Salford is quiet this morning. A proclamation luu.,,
been issued to parents and others, stating that large
numbers o disorderly young persons have for some
time be nn perambulating the town, to the g;ttlit an-
noyance of the inhabitants and the flange,. of the
peace of the town, and warning them that such will
be apprehended and punished ttecord:lngly. An-
nouncements have also been made callirs a public meet-
ing for to-morrow, at the Town-hatg, to lay and levy a
special rate to defray the expensfs of organising and
t,npporting an adequate civil f'erce, for the preservs-
tiim of peace and the protvaion of property. Seven,'
meetings of different tra.7ies are announce:l for to-day.
The Delegates pers'.st in holding their meeting this
afternoon in Mr. Scholfielifs - burial...round, „ at
-‘7-t
nubile, to c(alraemorate the laying the foundation of
the monututPl to the late Henry llunt. The Magis-
trates Imo,' ':liven orders to Sir Charles that:- to dis-
-,
pm Le meeting. backed by a large toree of. cavalry
and Infantry. They also persist in holding their tea-
ineetings, and have sent info: toation to the Town-hall
that they mean to act peaccablv, but that, if they are
attacked. they will iletnit themselves. It is supposed
that they will be armed. Fcargus O'Connor arrived
in town at an early hour this morning ; but it is nor
known what part he will take in the proeeeilings.
Tbe disposition of the police force at lament is the
fi,llow in :---,-The town contain.: iiftcou wards, in each
of which- ten police constables are placed untler 'rile
cm-n:ma of an experienced officer. At the eightken
outposts are betties of special constable';, twenty each,
who hold up communication with the central office
at the Townhall every half hour, where there is at.
ways a reserve of one hundred police and two hun-
dred special constables, pensioners, and reernits. The
relief is afforded every eight hours. Tim military are
all under arms, and a large body is stationed in the
Town-hall at Salford.

The present excitement is nearly as great as that
of any part of last week. Even should the day pas*
quietly, if the workmen-refuse to go to work to-mor-
row, it will very much alter the aspect of thing.
The following address has been printed, and is now
being extensively circulated through the streets :
" TO THE SPINNERS, MILLWRIGIITL,, CALICO PRINTERS,
TLSTIAN CUTTERS, AND OTHER TRAIWS OY VAN-
CUESTER. . . .
" Permit me to- draw your attention for a minute -
or two to the few observations I have been desiron•
to offer during the excitement now prevailing. .1 am
not a manufacturer or spinner. My walk in life has
I,een of a different grade. 1 am, however, a native of
.I.llanchester, and having been amongst you fifty years,
I know your dispositions and feelings well, and as
your fellow-citizen, (for I have followed a trade,) I am
sure you will not turn a deaf ear to anything I may
say, if you find there be truth and justice in my ra-
marks.
" Why,. may I ask, have you allowed yourselves to
be turned out of work ? •Just at the very moment
when trade was beginning to take a turn for the:
better; just as the time was approaching which aX
(both masters and men), have been looking for during.;
the last five years • when the privations and sufferinfss
of the poor (and God knows they have suffered inue.di)
were about to give way to a better state of thhags ;
and masters were indulging the hope that they 7.oight
yet be spared the pain of losing their capiVal, and
continue to give employment, and, in the efil, better
wages. When harvest prospects are so fu'J.y before
you, giving an assurance- of greater ahundginee than
we have known for years ; at this 'eery inaigent, when
there) was, I may almost say,. a certainty of amenal-
ment, you have allowed a set of designii men, met-
ing upon their own selfish and. misguided views, to
come to your' factories and workshops, -pal turn you
and your wives and children into the s',7reetS, in order
to excite you against those masters who have been, to
a certain extent, fellow-meerersin the declining trade
of the last few years. Why, I risk you., hare you.
,Tit
al-
lowed them to serve you thus? , when they had wane
to your mills . for so unworthy a purpose,.,you had
turned out, and given them a " good licking,. (-ft von
know we call it in Lancashire,) this would have teen
a turn out worthy of you, and they would sooa Moe
taken to their heels, and found their way home again,
fai• such fellows are always cowards., You sadly
Missed it, let me tell you, in not doing this, and would
at the present moment have been at work, and in pes-
sessiOn of wages for yourselves and families.
" Let me ask you one more question : there is a
class of men calling themselves Chartists, whose viewed
and schemes, it seems to me, are little los than tha.ia
of madmen, and if I mistake not, !hey have a g 4-4 a
deal to do with this matter, having taken advania, ~,
of the late unfortunate strike at Ashton, in ordia, . t,
bring forward their own wild views, and to suit., their
own selfish ends, knowing, that if putting it of ‘; the
