A Meeting of country Gentlemen took place on
Tuesday at the Freemasons' Tavern, for the purpose
*Of taking into consideration certain parts; of the sins.,.
Lion of the Agricultural interest of the country. My.
'rowans, of Essex, was called to the Chair ; and
stated that the object of the present Meeting was in-
tended to be confined to the state of the Wool Trade
alone. Other Gentlemen attended the -Meeting; un-
der an impression that it was to consider the depressed
state of Agriculture in general; and after some dis-
cussion it WAS agreed to dissolve the Meeting. The
Gentlemen who met together for the promotion of
the Wool Trade then retired ; and the other party,
whn remained behind, resolved upon the necessity of
Parliament being immediately assembled to consider
of the state of the country ; and that to confine their
proceedings to one object alone could avail nothing
in the midst of such general distress.

Riot AT BIRMINMIAII.—MOnday evening a seri-
ous disturbance broke out at Birmingham, but which
was suppressed in an hour or two by the activity of
the Magistrates, seconded by the co-operation of the
military, who were called in after the Riot Act had
been read. I; commenced by the mob breaking the
windows of a printer, who had circulated some
Anti-Jacobinical publications. The street soon be-
came crowded, and stones wire thrown by the
rioters at the officers and soldiers, one oc two of
!ffuollA were, We regret to.say, severely hurt. Parties
~of the 15th Dragoons and 73d Infantry were the
troops employed. Some of the most active rioters
•
were taken, and sent to Warrick gaol. By elevea
o'clock all was quiet. Sir F4O was expected at
Biimiaghana every minute. It. tusk repOrted the

spirit during the riot,. and was well fteconded by a
party of the 73d. and anuther of the 15th Hilmar/,
Major THACILwat.Lt who commanded the former,
was knocked off his horse by a large stone, and car-
ried into an apothecary's ,close by ; and his Serjeant-
'Major received a violent blow in the eye. No lives
were loss, and the town is quiet."
Therehas been "some tumult among the Colliers at
Calder Iron Works, near Glasgow, caused by some of

sequence of arrests for debt. Saturday se'nnight they.
assembled at the counting house, and having, by
striking the clerk, evidenced their detennination to
obtain their wagcs„they ultimately accomplished
payment, and retired from the scene in triumph. On
the Wednesday they attacked and much damaged
the house of the underground foreman. The same'
day a warrant was granted by the Sheriff, so the
petition of the Procurator Fisc it at Hamilton, to
apprehend certain of the rioters, • and to employ
military force in aid of the civil. authority.—
Early on Thursday morainic the warrant was eze:
cuted, by a party from Haindton, and a troop of the
6th Dragoon Guards.; and four men,, suspected of
being particularly active in the affray, were taken
into custody.. They.. were at first carried to Hamil,
to, but it was afterwards fauncluecessary to remove
them t 6 Magma, escorted by .dragoons. About 1.50
peopiti, it is said, collected at Bothwell Bridge, for
the rpose of rescuing the prisoners ;. but, as they
were brought by. /*gyre, which is a different route,
soldier reached Glasgow unmalested. The men
had not returned to their work qn,friday. A party
of the dragoons are atilt stationed at the works.
