Ms humble petltiou of the Antisintsiaffis Classes of
the Metitiptilli, in. public meeting. ispesibled sit the Ro-
tunda, illackfrkun, 11th August, 1831,
44 Bb6wetb,—That your petitioners view with alarm,
the number of rue ns daily sent to prison for selling the
Peer Mares • . and other cheap and unstansped
publications. Your petitioners ire of opinion, that should
these persecutions continue, the inevitable consequences
will be, that a feeling of sympathy and commiseration
will naturally. arise throughout the United Kiagdum, so
las to look upon the persecuted, more in the character of
martyri, engaged in the sacred cause of ireedurn, rather
than the violenin of an iniquitous codeOf laiis.—Your
-petitiouers,therefore, most earnestly henOur-
nide Haw to repeal all those acts, wb violates the
rights of Englhbonen in the interruption of affording
them cheap knowledge ; and that you will be further
pleased to pass a Bill, of Indemnity, for those who are
already convicted, and are now suffering in prison, by
which niers you will restore to Englishmen that privi-
lege of, which, they. ought never to have been deprived ;,
namely, a full, fair and free opportunity of a come tunity,.
of sentiment in the circulation of cheap knowledge,
whereby .the foundation of crime will be sipped, by the
removal of ignorance, and the extending of istformatiosi."
A pathetic and spirited address was also agreed to, in
favour of the orphans, widows, parents, frieuds, and coun-
trymen of those unfortunate, uuarmed men and women
who were cruelly murdered by an armed yeom.atry and
police force at Newtownharry.

CIIZAP Wll4l.—Betistmen four 'arid ive o'clock on
Saturday, as a pipe of port wine was being let down
by a crave in Broad-street, the crane unfortunately
broke, and the contents of the pipe flowed down the
gutter in torrents. Not more than a few seconds
elapsed before there were men, women, and children,
with articles of every description, lading it up. One
old woman, upon a moderate calculation, must have
obtaksed.sorne gallons, as she brought a wash tub.

t the centre of the park, between Cumberland-
gate and Kensington-gardens, fur the accommodation
of the public, and persons residing at Bayswater and
Paddington This arrangement is found to be ex-
tremely useful.
The. differences between Mr. and Lady Caroline
Neeld have again occasioned a separation. The
lady, a few days ago, left Colson's Hotel, where they
had been for some time staying, at seven o'clock in
the morning, and proceeded to the house of her father,
the Earl of Shaftesbury, in Grosvenor-square,_ where
she is at present rending. It is supposo that she.
meditates an appeal to theTscclesiasdcel Court.
