voREsT OF DEAN.
We are entry to learn that there has Net n scurf..
rioting in the Forest of Dean, and that part of, .110.
new plantations his been burnt down. This spirit 1.1
disaffection, however, has no connection with the pre-
sent discontents of the country, but arises from the
Govainment pressing a measure, rt rather an unsea-
sonable period, Which has for its object the leastng. for
tern of years, a considerable extant ot petty Inclo-
- made and enj .yed by the inhabitants of the
Forest for a considerable period of years. We hope
the snbject will have the immediate attention cl. Go-
vernment, that no unseasonable hatslmess, in time►
so distrc.sing, should endanger the extensive and va-
luable plantations of the Protest.

" A tumultuous and dkorderly proceeding com-
menced this meriting amongst the colliers at l'atiliou,
who, in consequence ot an arrangement amounting
to a reduction ef one-tenth el their wage:, refuted to
work. This irregular step was but t',3 readily tot-,
lowei by the miners in scveral of the iitiglibouling
collieries, who, being assembled in considerable in:tu-
bers, were collectively and most impressively ad-
dressed by th.it active Magistrate, Sir JOHN C.,X
litr-
rrsctr, Bart, bin they did not seem disposed to se-
parate until the Riot Act had keen re:4,l; in con.e-
quence of which they dipersed, and order seems com-
pletely restored. A reward of Twenty Guineas is
offered for the discovery of the principal mover of
, this most ill-advised proceedure."

" Saturday Night, March 1.

" The colliers, after having assembled in the morn-
ing at Poulton, in great numbers, directed their course
to the ClAndown, Smallenmbe, and Itxdstock Works,
to which plates they were promptly followed by Sir
Jnitu, accompanied by the Magistrates of this bisti.
sion, and all the neighbouring Clergy And Glary,
who, finding a considerable nionh,n of the party still
remaining at Poulton, two of the persons who had
made themselves conspicuous on the preceding dly
being recognized, were instantly seized, and delivered
over to the PCACC Officers, and the remaining party
were addressed by Sir dons, in a speech fully It-Aught
with tenderness and ham unity, and At the SAflle time
sn dignified and manly, that its effect was not only
felt and admired by his surrounding friends, but it
made an evident impression on those misguided men.
" The Mawstrates, with their neighbours, imme-
diately proceeded to ClAndown and Railstock in pur-
suit of tlx greater body of these unthinking men ; at
the I t•ter place they were found in lull force, when
Sir brio again addressed them with equal eloquence
And energy, in %shish he WAS na.sst Ably seconded And
assisted by T. S. JOLLIFFE, Esq. of Ammerdown
House, who had accidentally come to the spot : here
two more of the ring-leaders of this deluded party
were secured. After long and scrutinizing examins.
tines, the several prisoners uere committed to the
different gaols of this county."

" Poulton, Tunday night, March 4.
It is with great pleaoute we state, that all the
eollierkin this and the neighbouring mines, are pur-
suing their usual employment with great apparent
satistacti.in and content; and it is hoped, and believ-
ed, that their late misconduct is now becomi m Icier
of most serious regret. A number of most inflam-
matory publications had bren sold by a higgler at
PAulton.( where the mischief originated). The leadeis
were arrested ; 'but the poor wretches who followed
them, we believe. were perfectly innocent of any had
design. Alie would, however, caution them to avoid
.tbose blasphemous and. sedi.ious publications whirli
have caused their riotous conduct ; and recommee.d
them to look to their masters as their best faiendr."
To the foregoing we have to add the subjoined
letter, adires,ed by Sir Jolts Cox llieerscav to A
contemporary, who had inserted A letter. pretended
to he from the spot. attributing these thstaders to
disloyally an., disaffection on the part of the riotei
Sir J: n% states Isis conviction—And we perfectly Agree
with him—that the great mass of the colliers Ate well

" West Cowes. March 5.
" Sin—An article haring appeared in your Paper
of the Si instant. respecting the recent proceedings
in the Culliery Dicriets of Somerset, in which (a, it
is asserted) I was called upon to take A put with
other Magistrates, I feel it no less incumbent upon
me to state, that though some of the leaders in those
disturbances have, but toe probably, been tainted by
the circulation of many of the publications alluded
to, and which. in point of tact, were found on the
spot, I am no less persuaded, that the great mato ol
the colliers are not disalitcted as subjects. The name
' preisure of the times; and the want of labour, in-
ducei great numbers to tullow those who were the
author. of the disturbances, but who. nevertheless,
were themselves then actually in employment. 'And
receiving wages much beyond the scale-of :he poor
Agricultural labourers in their neighbourhood. It iv
of too much importance to society.. espetiAlly at the
present moment, that opinions injurious tor) great a
mass of population, should not be liastily or erro-
neously attired. The colliers of these districts
amount to little short of six thousand ; great distress
has unquestionably obtained among snarly of them
from the causes swiped ; but no insubordination has
manifested itself, with the excepti.n I have stateJ.
I understand that all who have work Are now returned
to their labour.—l am, &c. «J. C. HIPYISLAY."
