STATE OF THE COUNTRY.

BIRMINGHANI, FRIDAY EVENING.
The, following letter has been received from the Potteries
this minting :
Things are in a dreadful state here—all the colliers out,
and I tear next week wilt not pass over without dreadful work
__thousands parading the streets wi:h large sticks in their
hands. The manufactures must give over this week. Soldiers
are an ived—maat and money are already demanded by the
poor creatures, and who, in the name of God, can blame them
if they take it ? Unman, endurance cannot much longer eons
tinue, anti where it will end Ghd only knows." The masters
hare proposed a 'eduction of wages, not requieng the labour
of the men at all, and that has caused the present confusion.
Yesterday the mob carried off provisions nut of the shops at
Stoke, and s, me Lave been apprehended.
RIOTING At' NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LINE.
The following h an extract from is letter from Newcastle,
dated July 1.1:
" 1 arrived here last night, from Stafford.' On entering
the town, I found it mote line it garrison than anything edie.
Last hight the col.iera came into the town in huodreds, and
caused great commotion. So great was the alarm, that the
troop or Newcastle Yeomanry Cavalry were called out., and
stainined at the Duke of York, and other public anses.
To-day the colliers arrived t.i large numbers, and commenced
levying contributions on the inhabitants of Lane-end. or. Lung.
tun. They visited and stopped all the works at which any
men were employed, and took out several of the men who were
at work, and ducked them in a pima ; and wizen remobsimed
with by the M .gistrates on the impropriety of their conduct,
the answer they gave was, that it would be bitter far them to
he shot than st e tin it children s'arve. At this moment, the
town of Longton, whtch is four miles from here, is in great
contusion, and nimh fear is (tin itioned for the result of to-
night. The Nesse sle tioop has ju-t marched out, headed,
by. they sty. fiiteen Maglitrates, amongst whom we Gapfain
I'n'ner and the. Rev. Mr Sneyd. Two tioort of the I.2th
Foot h .ve also at rived Pion Weedon barracks. by express, and
what the result of to-hight may be, God enly knows. The
potpie here are in much nistress, but it is to be regretted
that the poor people cannot see they are only increasing their
d filcult,es ; but it is Pay fn reason with tearvaig men In

Enraptured gaze attentive hinidreos there,
For Ellen clairna the night ; whose art combined
With Knowlcs shall charm the hari!er sex and fair.
Prose of Arragon in pride entwined
Around its parent " Tree," whose dulcet voice
Will foster it more soft than zephyr's wing,
When verdant hills and smiling plains rejoice,
To hymn the coming of the blushing Spring 1
Iler breath shall feria the breeze to fan it now,
tier syren tongue shell match its mystiaeong,.
Nor shall its smile distance her kindling brow,
Tho' bloom a f.idele's 11' .weer in fashion's throng,
To grace the drama's bowers, and there be
Admired in her, awarding credit, Knowles, to thce,l,!
