FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

GLOBE.—The acc.,.ounts received this morning
from the manufacturing districts are fearfully por-
tentous. We have given the particulars, obtained
from various sources, in another part of our paper.
This disorganised state of large masses of the manu-
facturing population has recently assumed a cha-
racter which excited considerable alarm in the dis -
tricts in and around which these symptoms of
disturbance have been shown. These apprehen-
sions of outbreaks and violence have become re-
alised, with fears of still more dangerous attacks on
public peace and order. This state of things will occa-
sion deep regret, but.will scarcely excite surprise. Pri-
vations and sufferings—arising from lack of employ-
ment—and an inability to obtain sufficient food and
clothing by severe labour, exacted from decaying
strength, .to perform it by . those who, only less
miserable than those from whom the opportunity
of working for a scanty supply of bread for them-
selves and families has been altogether denied—
these calamities, deeply and widely spread, are work-
ing their invariable results among the sufferers.
The wretched victims of woes so terrible seem
to have abandoned hope, the last refuge of the
miserable, and to have become infuriated to violence,
as though no consequences to themselves, however
terrible, could produce worse calamities than those
they have long endured. We have before us an ad-
dress which the operatives of Ashton-under-Line
have put forth on the subject of their grievous priva-
tions. They appeal to the middle classes, as to what
must be the inevitable consequences to the condition
of shopkeepers from the depressed state of wages ; and
present the results in figures which exhibit those re-
sults, in the following. form :
" Suppose there are in the surrounding districts people
employed of the description hereafter-mentioned, and
wages reduced to the sums stated, the figures will stand
thus :

Reduced Weekly. Weekly Amount. Annually.

2,000 Spinners 7s 7OO 36,400

nics, Piecers, and all other hands employed—
(10,000) reduced upon
an average os per week £l,OOO 52,000

£140,400
In the face of these dangers to society, Parliament
is about to separate, having refused to inquire into
the state of the country, with a view to providing a
remedy for its distress. On the Government will
devolve the difficult and most embarrassing duty of
preserving the peace of the country—of protecting
an infuriated population from the consequences of its
own violence. the very means employed may pro-
voke collisions, and exasperate to yet greater violence,
Surely, Sir Robert Peel will pause on the threshold of
the intended prorogation, and at the Cabinet held
to-day, for the purpose of preparing the Speech which
to-morrow will be read by the Sovereign at the pro-
rogation, insist on the necessity of introducincr a
paragraph conciliatory in its tone, and encouraging
in its tendency ; promising that Parliament shall as-
semble at an early period, for the purpose of taking
the calamitous state of the country into its serious
consideration ; and that,'in the meantime, the Govern-
ment will diligently apply itself to the preparation of
effectual measures for its relief!

STANDARD.—The debate of last night, though
comprised in two speeches, is not to be disposed of in
such narrow space and with such brief consideration
as a newspaper can command in a single number.
Were the question, indeed, narrowed to a single
issue—the comparative merits of the late and the
present Governments—two or three short and
indisputable propositions would supply the answer.
The late Ministers found the country in the
enjoyment of profound peace, not merely a
peace actually established, but secured by the
anxious desire of every foreign nation to culti-
vate our friendship; and they found the country
also in the possession of a great surplus revenue, and
a most prosperous commerce. When driven from
office they left us with war in China, war in Syria,
war in Central Asia ; with the next most powerful
nation of the earth to ourselves, France, eager to
join in the war against us ; and with another
powerful nation—a most important commercial
customer also—the United States, scarcely less eager
to augment the number of our open enemies. They
left us with a revenue deficient at the rate of two
millions and a half annually, and with a debt of ten
millions already realised by this annual deficiency
with commerce, too, such as we see. These are facts
notorious and indisputable. No man controverts
them, because no man can controvert them. The
miserable and almost desperate state in which the

heard him fall heavily on the pavement, and ran to the
spot, where he lay insensible. A surgeon was soon in
attendance, but deceased died from the injuries in two
hours. Verdict, " Temporary insanity."
" The Court of Chancery," said the Vice-Chancel-
lor. of England, the other day, " will be as many years
in deciding the cases which will arise out of the suits
now instituted relative to the income-tax as that tax is

expected to last." •
VAUXHALL GARDENS.—MdIIe. Caroline made her

second appearance in the circus at these gardens on Mon-
day night, and delighted the world of London with noble,
horsemanship—horsewomanship we should say. Mille.
Caroline makes her appearance in the circus, not in
spangled muslin, standing and capering on the saddle,
but attired in a splendid riding-habit, and seated on a
horse which might serve as a model for a sculptor. With-
out exaggeration, we may term the grace, the elegancea
the carriage and maintien of horse and rider perfection,
itself. We could not give the faintest idea of the exhi-
bition by any description. To be understood, nay, to be
imagined, Mdlle. Caroline and her horse must be seen.
After performing several beautiful evolutions, in the course
of which Mdlle. Caroline caused her horse literally to waltz
round the circus, he reared high and fell back upon his
haunches, rolling over upon his side. A cry burst from
the audience of " Save her ! save her !"—the master of
the circus sprung over the palisade, but ere he couldi
reach her she had raised the horse to his feet again, with-
out having either lost her seat, or been even shaken in
the saddle. This feat was hailed with tremendous
cheers. The other portions of the entertainments of the
evening passed off vi ith their usual eclat. We could wish,
however, whilst giving the praise which is justly due to
the proprietors for catering so bountifully and tastefully
for the public entertainment; that they would take a hint,
and by causing the several performances, into which the
amusement of the evening is divided, to follow upon each
other a little more rapidly, permit the entire to close
somewhat earlier than at present.
A dinner was given by several members of the
Weise of Commons at the Clarendon Hotel, on Saturday
to Lord Mahon and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, to celebrate
the passing of the Copyright Bill, at which Lord Mont-
eagle (in the absence of the Chancellor, who was pre-
vented by indisposition from .attending) presided.
Amongst the company present were Lord Campbell,
Lord Lyttelton, Lord Ashley, the Attorney-General, the
Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, and Sir Howard Douglas.
A most dastardly outrage was committed on Fri-
day morning early, at the George Hotel, Portsmouth.
IThe house was extremely full on Thursday, and,
owing to the Goodwood races, the inmates were
rather late in retiring to rest. About two o'clock
on Friday morning, when everything was quiet, a.
terrific explosion was heard, so as to alarm all the
neighbourhood, and even the police establishment
in Pembroke-street adjoining. The sound evidently
' proceeded from the upper part of the house, whither
all the inmates (who had courage) repaired, but the,
consternation was so general, that many imagined the,
house was falling, &c. It was found that the explosion
had taken place in a lobby into which four doors open ;
these were forced off the locks and hinges, the win-
dows all broken, the skylight also broken, wainscots,
ceilings, &c., destroyed, carpets on fire, &c., and numerees
fragments of cartridge-paper, cordage, &e., lying
about. It is conjectured that the ruffians must
have made a firework of strong paper, repeatedly
folded and lashed with cordage, and which was probably
placed in a corner. or suspended from a bell-wire, and
lighted by a slow match. Unfortunately, there is not at
present any proof as to the person who did it, but strong
suspicions are entertained, and it is hoped that the rem-
nants of paper and cord, of which the "infernal ma-
chine" was composed, may yet lead to detection.—

NOTTINGHAM ELECTION.—A petition was pre-
sentedonTuesday in the House ofCommons, from George
Gill and Samuel Bean, against the return of John
Walter, Esq., for the borough of Nottingham.
DANISH CLAIMS.—The following was ordered on
the motion of Mr. Hume on Tuesday :—Copy of any Me-
morials from the Danish Claimants, presented to the

The General Steam Navigation Company's new
steam-ship Trident, Captain R. Sharp, that left Brown's-
wharf, Poplar. last Saturday evening, arrived at Granton
Pier, Leith, after a most excellent ppsage of only 38
hours.

A meeting of the Medical Board of the National
Vacine Institution was held on Tuesday, the 9th inst.,
for the purpose of appointing a successor to the late Mr.
Gillhatn, resident medical superintendent of the institu-
tion. The choice of the Board, consisting of Sir Henry
Ilalford, Bart., Dr. Holland, and Anthony White, Esq.,
fell upon Mr. Tomkins, vaccinator at the Surrey station,
and Mr. George Simpson, surgeon, of Bedford-street,
Bedford-square, was elected to the latter appointment
which thus became vacant.
FALMOUTH, AUGUST 7.--The Bishop of Exeter,
who is at present engaged in visiting the western dis-
tricts of his diocese, yesterday proceeded in the Astres
barge from the Green Bank in Falmouth harbour, to St.
Just, on the opposite shore; and after confirming a large
number of young persons, in getting into the boat, fell
down, and grazed his left leg, below the knee, con-
siderably, against one of the seats. On inquiring this
morning, we found that although the wound was so
painful as to preclude his preaching to-day, as his Lord-
ship intended, yet that the inconvenience was likely to
be only of a temporary character. Captain Ellice,
attended his Lordship to St. Just.
ADJOURNED INQUEST AT SALISBURY.— On Friday
the proceedings before the Coroner and Jury, relating
to the death of the two children, named Ester, were
resumed, when the result of the post maiern exami-
nation was communicated. The medical gentlemen
stated that the bodies showed no marks of violence,
nor any appearance of disease, neither was there any
ground for supposing that poison, mineral or vegetable,
had been administered to them. The Coroner observed
to the Jury, that they cou!d scarcely avoid inferring
from the evidence that the children had been drowned,
but whether accidentally or wilfully was a question for
them to decide. The Jury, after some deliberation,
brought in a verdict of " Wilful murder" against some
person or persons unknown. Two of the witnesses,
Happy and Hackney, were taken into custody on sus-
picion, but, after examination, were discharged. The
mother of the deceased children, how ever, has been re-
manded till Saturday the 13th.
The colliers and miners in the neighbourhood of
Abersychan, are, we regret to say, still " out," and the
Victoria works have come to a stand-still for the present.
The colliers of the Pentwyn works have returned to their
labsur.-111onmoathshirc
SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—Tuesday morning a re-
spectable young man named Charles Warner, twenty-
three years of age, residing at No. 19, Stepney-cause-
way, was admitted into the London Hospital, n conse-
quence of his scull being fractured. It appeared that
he was sitting in his garden, when a stone which had
been hurled over the garden wall, struck him with such
violence as to cause the injury above stated. It is hoped
that the unfortunate man will recover.
