The Marquis Conyngham is also another of those generals who
never was a soldier, farther than raising a regiment, and wearing an
uniform, but who made money by his regiment, and since has regu-
larly received pay as a general, when receiving large civil salaries as a
favourite about the Court. There were several others, but happily they
have died of, and the country is no longer charged with them. We
have not particularized those officers who hold situation* immediately
about the Royal Person, as we consider that they are reaUy the trap.
pings of Royalty which we are not authorised to touch, but whole
salaries might be reduced in proportion with every one who holds an
appointment from the Throne, or in judicial offices. We have also
taken no notice of the Duke of Wellington and Sir George Murray,
but we think, while they held high civil situations, they ought not to
have drawn their pay and allowances as military men. But they hate
been dismissed from office, and "peace go with them."
We must now particularly point out some of those plates which we
consider as extraordinary and much over paid, and as holding situations
incompatible with each other, and therefore as useless to the public.

well, of Upton `Vold farm, in the parish of Blockley. Mr. Fritwell,
as off-going tenant to Lord Northwick, is In the occupation of the bnrt. n

at the time, and pulled it down, saying, they had his lordship's ordi iI.

LOUGHBOROUGH, Dec. B.—On Monday last this to AII was throe n

logliog sticks. Thew efforts failing, the yeomanry (avidly were sent
fee. Themeb messad to diem their hostility against threremtgoorgrof
Messrs. Paget, and called out to the magistrates that they did DOI allow
sufficient parochial relief. They also took hold of the bridles of the
magistrates' horses, and forced them into the inn yard. Shortly after
the Riot Act was read, and a party of the light dragoons having ear.
rived, the parties dispersed, declaring they were starving, a d ii wring
loud threats towards their employers.
DREADFUL FIRE AT Wawanialrow —About six o'clock in
Thursday evening literacy Mills, situate on the batiks of thy hits. r
'Betsey, about a mile and a halt front Warrington, were discovered on
fire, and in two how-s after the whole of the building was destroyed.
with the exception of the warehouse, which is saved. l'he mills ..r:
the property of Mr. I tunbeU, who iesideil at I lonley-house' adjoining
the premises. The gentleman alto rents t. e mills is a Mr. sioile-
huna, of Liverpool. There was a great quaa.tity of flour, wheat, meal.
dee. in the mills, the greater part of which is consumed. The mills
were the largest in the kingdom, twenty-two pair of stones hying worked
in them. The manager has no idea of time origin of the fire.
The Briyliton 11, ral,l of Saturday contains the following communi-
cation telative to the stale of the country. A single inetatice of incen.
d.arisni only hits taken place for upwards of a week, and with advanced
wages the peasant appears to be content. It is our duty, however, to
state, that front correspondence with various parts of Sussex, we are
lill to apprehend that the existing calm is only t c prelude to alai.
ther storm. From one of the liters before us, written by an jowl-
ligent person, we extract a parigo confirmatory of this idea, and
whose view of things generally is supported by information we 1,:,%e
received from other sources; "That the recent advance in the picas of la-
bour," observes our correspondent, " will prove a healing measure:fist ate
length of time, is a position which I positively deny. Depend upoo
it that the farmers are unable to pay the increased wages which they
have undertaken to do-1 mean the little firmer*, who onto i ter e t,,.•
great majority of our weald agriculturists. They may, to be sue.,
go on for a while, until their remaining property is frittered away,
when they mutt give up their land, an& become dependent on tile
poor .rates. in a fiw instances, it is true that the rents and tithes have
been reduced, but, generally speaking, the relief has not been afford, d,
land matters have therefore come to this pass, that the announeemeat of
' a tithe.audit has been the signal fot a troop of horse or infantry, or an
armed civil force,to occupy villages when for years &soldier hied nut balm
seen, and where such a thing as a special constable had never befiiie
been hawed of. The middle class of farmers, thus pressed on one hand
by their starving labourers, and on the other by their 'audios& and the
clergy, will, unless speedily rescued front their painful dilemma. be
compelled to make common cause with the former, whom they must
consoler as fellow-sufferers, while the latter they must look upon ..s
exactors and oppressors. Then will come the real storm, compared
with which, what has just puled by will have been a summer
breeze."

Moat illaisaw.—We have received the following accounts, sari die
Chronicle, the mule of inquiries on the spot in &sex, during the i.a.t
week, from a gentleman of high character in the country, possessed of
considerable property in the districts which he describes, and who.e
opinion is entitled to great weight. We have heard, indeed, of plans
intended to be acted on with regard to tithes, which we are afraid
to mention :

thing was quiet, and no dread or idea of rioting or mischief, when on
Tuesday, the 7th, as Ramsay, three miles front -Harwich, a wheat and
a pease stack, belonging to Mr. Palmer, were set on tire, and con-
sume& On the same day, at Clacton, the labourers assem-
bled in numbers, and broke seven or eight thrashing machines ; and
some machines of Mr. Nichols, were also broken, at Little Clacton.
On Wednesday, at Kirby, the labourers again met, and broke the
thrashing machines of Mr. Raker and Mr. Wilson, and then called the
fanners together to demand more wage. than they now received—t2s ;
some demanded 2s. :tel. and 2s. Id. per day. The farmers present
agreed to give es. a day to those in work; and 7s. a week to single
men not employed. Other demands were made, which convinced all
prevent that unless checked, the men would soon become masters. A
very general and well -Munded alarm spread over the Hundreds, of the
necessity of immediate exertion to put an end to such lawless pro-
ceedinp. and on Thursday morning one hundred Yeomen, chiefly
farmers, met on Tendring Heath, under Ms. Hardy, the head
constable, and proceeded to Kielty, where they seised seven of the
ringleaders in the destruction of machines. On Friday others sere
taken, and on Saturday the Yeomen in much greater numbers met
at the same place, and proceeded to Kirby, when live more of the
rioters were taken, and it was the determination to take from every
parish every man that they could prove had broken the mullions.
Saturday, when our informant left Colehesen, twenty-seven rioter. had,
In all, been secured, and sent to Colchester, via. three tmni
three from Clacton, Mae from Ramsay, twelve from Kirby. The
rioters broke also inipienesim of businnelry, and their objection senneti

of 'readying. the chief constable, for hh exertions In all their proceed:
ings; and if is expected that she determined manner in which the y,..
men have acted, AI, with the immediate punishment of the views,
'weave puce and quiet in that district. It was anderstesd at Catch/sr. r
that three or four of the first arrested had been tried at Chelitisforsi
Avalon, and oratenced to transportation.
