DISTURBANCES IN NORFOLK.

Thursday se'nnight in ths foremost, a strong pa2'
of insurgents, -amounting to several hundreds,
lected from all the neighbouring parishes, attacked '
and destroyed a threshing-machine attached to the
freehold, on the premisei of Mr. RICHARD Doocearr,
of Winfarthing. Notwithstanding the resistance of
a large party of friends, constables, and others, they
proceeded to demolish the obnoxious engine. A des-
perate attack commented with bludgeons and all
kinds of weapons. One Gentleman was felled from
his horse, and several more, who were well mounted, ,
were compelled to retreat in all directions, amidst a
heavy discharge of stones and other missiles. The
barn was forced, in order to come at the interior of
the machine, which, together with a dressing:machine,
were destroyed. On the following morning large
parties assembled at Diss, being market-day, and the
leader of the insurgents of Thursday, by name Wit-
ham Baker, of Bressingham, labourer, was appre-
hended, and immediately brought before Sir WILLIAM
ROBIRT KENT, Bart. and Gamma Las. Esq. and
was by them committed to the County Jail. Next
day large parties of the insurgents paraded about dif-
ferent parts of the neighbourhood, keeping watch in
the night to present any of their party from being
apprehended; and on Monday morning they again
assembled at Winfarthing, and broke and destroyed a
threshing-machine, the property of Mr. SAWA!.
GEORGR, of that parish. On Tuesday the arrival of
the troop. of Suffolk Hartsmere Cavalry, under the
command of Colonel RAY, we hope has so far suc-
ceeded asto prevent their again assembling forfurther
mischief in this neighbourhood.—Nornikh Moony..
Tuesday night some rioters arrived at the County
Jail, guarded by a part of the Suffolk Cavalry. On
approaching the city, they were met by a consider-
able body of persons, who appeared inclined to make
a tumult. The prisoners were, however, safely lodged
in jail. On the return of the cavalry they were re-
ceived with a shower of stones and brick-bats, and
were stoned completely through the city to the
3% owel and Hammer, out of St. Stephen's gates,
Where they gained shelter. The rioters pursued them
thither, and broke several windows. The Mayor, W.
R ACK HAM, Esq. having received information of this
riotous disposition, repaired immediately to the spot
with some constables, and after much active exertion.
both by himself and assistants, he succeeded in dis-
persing the assembly. About the same time a con-
stable brought to the Castle another prisoner for the
same disorders. As he was returning, Mr. Jolts sou
seeing that a large body of persons had gathered toge-
ther, and appeared inclined to ill-use the constable,
sent two of his assistants with the man across the
Castle ditches. As soon as they had entered the
Golden Ball-lane, the rioters attacked them, seized
the cart, and, after a violent struggle, succeeded in
obtaining entire possession of it, with which they ran
down to the Foundry-bridge, and threw it in the river.
The constable and horse were with much difficnity
saved from their violence. No assistance could be
rendered, as the Mayor was at that moment engaged
in quelling the tumult at St. Stephen's gates. These
rioters appeared to consist principally of the loose
and disorderly boys who frequent our streets. The
industrious classes took no part in these proceedings.
It was expected that possibly a similar outrage might
be committed on Wednesday night. The Mayor and
his officers,were on. she-,alerh and we think that his
determination of Tuesday evening, to preserve the
peace of the city, contributed much towards the pre-
vention of any disorders that might, on the arrival
of new prisoners, have taken place. The Norwich
Light Horse Volunteers have been on duty almost
every night this week.—lbid.

In consequence of some of the. Ship-Owners of Hull having
determined to lower the wage of the sailors from SOs. to 455.
per month, a large number of them assembled on Monday last,
and seizing on two of their fellows who had acceded to the re-
duction, elevated them on a cart, and paraded them through the
town. The procession was met in several parts of the town by
the Police Officers, who engaged the mob, and were generally
defeated. After this state of things had continued for two or
three hours, the Military were called on, and tbe mob was dis-
persed. Three of the rioters were taken, two of orient were
committed.
