PUBLIC OPINION.

The liforniniAdTeTt7Ter;a7s that the anti-monopo-
lists have reason to congratulate themselves upon the
strength and soundness o their cause, when they find
the Times 4. the great master of unscrupulous perver-
sion and of specious sophistry d riven to the sorry expe-
dient of resisting the claims of the manufacturing and
trading interests—comprising more than GO per cent. of
the gritss population of the kingdom—upon the ex-
ploded, as well as the inconsequential ground that the
agriculturists bear peculiar burdens, and therefore re-
quire peculiar privileges and immunities."
The Times, in alluding to an action brought against it
yesterday by a Polish emigrant, takes the opportunity of
paying the following deserved tribute of respect to the
memory of the late Mr. Barnes :—" A gentleman con-
nected with us, who died last year, and whose valuable
services we must ever most highly appreciate, among the
many excellent qualities which commanded the goodwill
of his friends, was characterized by one which, though
peculiarly amiable in private life, yet occasionally ex-
posed him to some little inconveniences in the particular
circumstances of his position—extreme good-nature and
kindness of disposition. He was quite unable to with-
stand a tale of distress ; and in a very public situation in
London this inability, when once found out, exposes a
man, not only to expense, but to no small amount of im-
position."

The Herald is of opinion that the " poverty and pe-
riodical distress of British India are the results of Govern-
ment neglect to the material interests of that dependent
empire, and devotion to war and bloodshed, ever justi-
fied by the miserable plea of. necessity. The great want
of India is capital, and capital has not flowed thither,
because there have been so few attractions in the shape
of good laws, efficient police, and extensive public works
and improvements."
The Chronicle observes in reference to the refusal of
France to sign the Slave Trade Treaty :—" It was very
well observed by Lord Palmerston that the draft of the
treaty originated as much with the French as with the
English Government; and, in fact, the refusal to ratify
comes at such an advanced stage .of the negotiations as
to be a violation of the usual practice of governments.
It is only where a Plenipotentiary has acted without in-
structions, or has gone beyond his instructions, that it is
at all usual for a government to refuse to ratify what he
has signed."

The Post says :—" Some weeks ago the wise, modest,
and very argumentative personages of the Anti-Corn-
law faction, shouted to the four corners of the earth
that foreign trade was destroyed by the Corn-law. Sud-
denly a new light has broken in upon them, and now,
front Brotherton the portly, down to Cobden the lean,
they all protest that the home demand it is which has
fallen off, so that they really do not sell more than five
or six times as much as they did a dozen years ago,
although they want to sell ten or twelve times as much."

MISCELLANEOUS.

On this day in 1763, an insurrection broke out at
Berbice, where upwards of 100 persons were killed; 20
were whites and the rest negroes. The negro rebels put
the Europeans to death by cutting them to pieces bit by
bit, while some had spikes driven through their bodies.
Lord Cowley, the English Ambassador, despatched a
courier last Monday to London, who was doubtless the
bearer of the last answers of the French Cabinet on the
question of the Right of Search.
The man who is said to have carried the head of the
Princess de Lamballe on a• pike, named Charlot, and
who had been himself one of the chief butchers in Paris,
died a few days ago in the Faubourg St. Antoine.
London, England, 1842-02-23

eclat given to it by the Press, and the announcement of
Sir ROBERT PEEL in the House of Commons of the sym-
pathy felt for EsPARTERO by the English Government,
have doubtless put some of the intended actors out
of conceit with their parts. If Louis PHILIPPE de-
cline his share in the business, then we may indeed ex-
pect a farce instead of a tragedy ; and his MAJESTY
is too wary a politician to persevere in an infamous pro-
ceeding against a neighbouring State, after all Europe
has got an inkling of his designs. As he can no longer
aim a deadly blow against Spain in secret, he will hardly
be so ritsh as to raise his arm.

ASHTON.

In the course of Thursday, the Magistrates of
Ashton resolved upon swearing in a number of special
constables. A rumour of this determination having
got afloat, a deputation from the Shopkeepers Com-
mittee waited upon them, and endeavoured to dissuade
them from their determination, or at least to allow
the Shopkeepers' Committee to be excused from serv-
ing- ; but this effort was unsuccessful. In the even-
ing three hundred summonses were issued. The Com-
mittee issued the following placard :
" UNION is STRENGTH !—The tradesmen and mid-
dle classes of Ashton-under-Lynn and its vicinity,
viewing with alarm the distress and agitation now ex-
isting around them, offer their services as mediators
to settle the differences unhappily subsisting between
the employers and the employed. To accomplish this
object, they have appointed a deputation from their
number to wait on the manufacturers. The object of
this deputation will be to induce the employers to take
into their serious consideration the wishes of the ope-
ratives, and, as far as possible, to accede to them.
The following gentlemen composed the deputation :
Mr. Thomas Kershaw Mr. William Sunderland
„ Thomas Travis „ Abel Swann
„ John Spencer „ James Knott, jun.
„ Robert Ripley
~ John Johnson
• „ Joseph Fletcher John Smith.
Metcalfe

" Should the peace of the town he broken, it may
defeat the object proposed : the Committee, therefore,
beg of the operatives rigorously to preserve the
peace !

" Ashton-under-Lyne, August 11, 1842."
They also attempted to procure an interview with the
mill-owners individually ; but, not being very suc-
cessful, they forwarded a copy of the following cir-
cular to the mill-owners of Ashton, Stalybridge, and
Dukintleld:
" Committee-room, Pitt and. Nelson.
" Sir,—We beg to requeSt your attendance at a

BURY.

Here, as in every other place in the district, the
turn-outs from other towns came in considerable num-
bers, and went round the mills, factories, and other
works, demanding that they should be stopped, and
the hands dismissed. This demand was generally
complied with at once, and all the establishments of
the town and neighbourhood have ceased working ;
and the streets are full of idle and discontented people,
strolling about in groups, demanding, and of course
obtaining bread, &e., from the provision shops.

UPON.

On Saturday morning the mob proceeded, about
seven o'clock, to the factories of Mr. F. Sleddon and
Messrs. Cateheall ; the former resisted the demands
of the assemblage (a majority boys). Soon after
eight o'clock the numbers increased, and it was found
requisite far the Riot Act to be read two or three
times over.

In the .middle of Lane-street (the Riot Act being
read in it twice) there was no obtaining, order, nor
could all the advice given by the Magistracy, &c.,
present, prevail upon the desperate men to retire, in-
stead of whieh they commenced a fire of stones, which
flew in all . directions with determined resolution, the
women bringing aprons and bags full of ammunition.
The consequence was that, order was given to fire,
there being only 21 of the 72d Regiment in Preston.
One man was killed, and three-Or four wounded.

LONDON :
MOND kY MORNING, AUGUST 15, 1842.

According to accounts froth. Lancashire, the turn-
out, or as the Manchester Guardian Calls it, the in-
surrection, continues to spread: We recollect nothing
like it. On Monday the first movement began.
Staleybridge ; before Saturday it had extended to
every township in the neighbourhood, and there seems
only one, Bolton, where it has not been so far success-
ful as to put a stop to nearly all kinds ofmanufacturing
industry. Much other busineSs has ofcourse been sus-
pended, and great loss must already have been incurred.
However' speedily, and by whatever means it may be
terminated, it cannot fail to cause still greater loss
before it is over, and will most certainly leave many
painful rankling feelings behind, both in the masters
and in the workmen.

The Ministers regard the matter as extremely
serious. They held a Council as soon as possi-
ble after receiving the deputation from Manchester
and they immediately issued a Proclamation against
.
the rioters, which will be foundin another part of The
Sun. TroOps have arrived at Manchester from Dub-
lin, and two companies of Artillery, a battalion of
Guards, and an infantry regiment, which had been
brought from- Porsmouth, have been dispatched by
railway to the Manchester districts. Such exertions
would not bu required, and would not be made, if
the present general turn-out were not very different
from any similar demonstration of late years.
The Mom/tester Guardian, whose remarks we
copy, calls it an insurrection, and ascribes it to the
machinations of those who have heretofore encouraged
the people to have " a sacred-week," as n means of at-
taining their ends. That Journal endeaVours to
throw , the whole blame on some restless agitators.
Without discussing the nice question, how far the
movement results solely from the misery, of the
\pricing people, and how far, from the intrigues of those
—lto have practised on that misery, we are in-
clined to ii.:!ont the epithet of the Guardian.

hpro-
voked by sire to obtain better wages, or
to obtain the chaTto.rl p§ the institutions..whic the

With reference to the working of the Income-tax,
the Herald observes :—‘4 The Income-tax is beginning
to trouble the and we are very much mistaken if
Sir Robert Peel will not, on the meeting of the next
.-.Parliament, very- greatly "regret - the tenacity with
which he adhered -to. schedule 1-,:k in all the harsh in-
..
tqgrity of ; Lord Lansdowne's Act. Tradespeople
and merchants, and they who maintain themselves
and their families by their mental industry, or by the
energetic speculation
:of: a small capital, are already
shuddering over the forms which are before them, and
:dread the exposure of their affairs which. is to follow.
The tax on income, as distinguished from property,
will be found to be intolerable, however skilfully and
leniently collected ; and on the re-assembling of the
Legislature the demand for its repeal will be universal.
The Income tax, lit will scarcely be denied, is the
price which the British people pay for their detesta-
tion of slavery and the slave trade; it is a price which
they will.. not consent to pay very long; -it is, more-
over, one which no prudent Minister will allow them
to pay long, because he is in the possession of means to
enable the British sugar colonies to compete with the
slave-growing countries of the tropics. Apply those
means, and the extinction of slavery and the suppres-
sion of the slave- trade follow as naturally as any
other cause and effect; the present check on the con-
sumptiOn of sugar could -be then removed, and the
:flow of duties . into the Treasury from such increased
consumption would enable Government to abandon so
crud and harsh—though perhaps at present unavoid-,
able-7-a mode of equalising revenue and expenditure
as by an Income-tax."

At the meeting of the Proprietors of the London

Friday, it appeared from the net proceeds of the traff c,

which the Directors declared a dividend of 5 percent.
for the half year. The passengers carried during
that period were 372,532, end the gross receipts

A riot occurred at. St. John's, New Brunswick, on
the 12th of July last. It appears that a party riband,
well known in Ireland, had been hoisted on a flag-
staff, in the rear of the city. This gave offence to
some individuals of the opposite party, who accord-
ingly pulled it down. An outbreak ensued, at which
1,000 persons, were present. The Mayor and autho-
ritiesinterfered, and three of the rioters were arrested.

here, as in every other place in the district, the
turn•-nuts from other towns came in considerable num-
b('‘rs, and went round the mills, factories, and other
Worki:, demanding that they should be stopped, and
the hauls dinnissed. This demand wag generally
complied with at once, and all the establishments of
the town and: neighbourhood have ceased working ;
and the :.`.rents are full ofidle and discontented people,
about in groUps, demanding, and of course
obtaining bread, &c., from the provision shops.

BREAKING INTO A BREAD SIIOP.

In the afternoon, between three and four o'clock, a
body of young men and lads broke into Mrs. Aldred's
provision shop, corner of the Dog's-entry, Deans-
gate and carried away several loaves.
Shortl=y afterwards, another party demanded bread,
and obtained it at some shops in Camp-field.
This morning an excellent arrangement was made,
viz., the appointment of four young gentleman, active,
intelligent men, well mounted, and who had been
sworn in special constables, to proceed to different
quarters of the town, and return every quarter of an
hour to the police-offioe to report the state of the dif-
ferent districts. _ _

.At half-past seven o'clock, on 'Wednesday evening,
a number of silk weavers from Hollinwood and Fails-
worth arrived in Middleton, and shortly after upwards
of a thousand persons assembled in the Market-place.
The delegates from the above places said there would
be a meeting the day following on White Moss ; and, if
the Middleton people did not unite in turning out for
the wages given in 1840, they would compel them to
give up working. At twelve o'clock on Thursday
morning, a large body of men, many of them colliers,
arrived from White Moss, where a meeting had been
held. They stopped at Messrs. Jackson and Royle's
silk mill, turned the steam off, and the hands were '
instantly turned out of the factory. The crowd then
proceeded to the dyeworks of Mr. Beattie, and Messrs.
Stone and Kemp's silk warehouse, Mr. Gill's cotton
mill, =tithe extensive print works of Messrs, Schwabe ,
and Co. Here, also, the enginas were stopped, the steam
turned off, and the hands ceased working. At five
o'clock in the evening,. several thousand persons from
Heywood, Rochdale, and- other places, entered the
town. At Mr. Joseph Fieldiag'S.shop a, latign.qttan-
tity ofloaves were given. A public meeting. was held'.
in the Market-place, when it.was resolved to turnout,
and to meet every morning and evening, and remain
out until the same prices for silk*aving and, the
same wages to other operatives Ns-et-6'Ft ir6n 'as In 1840.
At eight o'clock on 'Friday m6iintig; a .numerous
meeting was held in the MarketplaCe; when three
silk weavers, named Ward, Snii tines; smd.Ogden, were
appointed to go to 'Leigh, and request the .weavers
there to join them in the general.,strike. Ward said,
ite hoped that particular notice would he taken of
every one who worked, and their names given to the
Oldham people. A procession was formed at ten
o'clock, consistirg of about 2,000 persons ; they
marched through Tonge, and went to the extensive
bleach works of Messrs. Coates and Co., at Stakehill,
where the hands were prevented from Working. Per-
sons who were met on the road were forced to go with
them. Delegates were sent to Bolton and other places.
Meetings are to be held every morning and evening.
All was peaceable when our reporter left, though all
trade was at a stand.

MACCLESFIELD.

The procession which left Stockport yesterday
morning, was joined, at Poynton and neighbourhooci,
by parties from Oldham, Ashton, Hyderke. At Hazel
GrOve, they were joined by numbers of silk weavers ;
and :at Poynton, the colliers were compelled to leave
off work, and readily joined the mob. They
then proceeded on towards Macclesfield; hut,
before arriving, they again separated, one party
taking the road to Bollington, on arriving
at which place the three mills there were im-
mediately stopped, and the hands turned out. At.
Mr. Swindle's mill, the boiler fires were put out, and
the boilers emptied, by knocking in the plugs. The
shopkeepers in the neighbourhood were visited, and
asked for bread, which they gave liberally. A shop-
keeper, named Brooks, gave them two cheeses, a flitch
of bacon, and a great quantity ofloaves. No outrag?
was committed. The party then went on to Maccles-
field, on their arrival at which place, all the mills had
been stopped by the party that had left them on the
way. The silk weavers had all turned out for an ad-
vance of wages on the previous evening, but none of
the steam-engines were stopped before the arrival of
the mob. All the shops and public .houses were closed;
but the em wd had bread given to them from the various
chamber windows. The mills having been all stopped,
the crowd, to the number of 12,000 or 14,000, assem-
bled; on Park-green, and were addressed by various
gpeakere, when it was determined to stand oast, and
wait the directions of the confereece, to be held in
Manchester, on Wednesday next. One of the speak-
ers told them, that, if they ventured to begin work
again, a number of the turn-outs from other places
were stopping in Macclesfield all night, some of whom
were provided with pigeons, and they would be sent
off ; so that the people of
.Stockport would know in
less than half an hour after a mill had resumed work-
ing, and they would come back and " give it the de-
vils." fie also stated that pigeons would he sent from
Bollington.
