an unsettled state. The Iron Masters hams been
obliged to suspend ,hr making of Iron; !Invite fur-
naces have been hitherto kept in btast—i•thot is. fuel
has been regularly supplied to keep them% in a state
ready for resuming work at a moment's notice. In
the c * in time, the wages of the workmen have been
reduced, and with i view to keep the men employed,
an effort has been made to resume work on the re.
duced scale. The men refused to work, and at.
tempted, in some places, to Wow out the fumes:, as it
is technically called, but which is in fact stopping
the blast. This is always productive of great expense
.and delay in the event of resuming work at the fur-
nace. Two men were killed, and several wounded,
in attempting to compel the stopping of lid blast at
one of the furnaces. Some of the particulars are
stated in the following extract of a letter from Met.
thyr-Tydvil, dated October 20 t
4e We are very busy in this town examining the
rioters and committing them. All is quiet, and not
a rioter to be seen; bat oot a man will work now,
mob or no mob—soldiers or no soldiers t they will
not even complete their month's notice. We hope
they will presently see things in their proper light,
and petition us to carry on the work at strait wages
as we can afford. This is the point we wish to brine
them to.—Two men were killed, and several
wounded, of the rioters ; they were fired upon whilst
taking away what is termed the blast, from one of
the furnaces. Ten shillings is the smallest sum the
lowest class of workmen were required to be reduced
to per week; othCrs were to hive 15s. and some as
high as a guinea. The proprietors Allow that the
men require more in order to enable them and their
families to live ; but it is not in their power to give
more io the present depreciated state of the iron trade."

It is admitted, by the Iron-masters, that the wages
are inadequate, in many instances, to support the
workmen and their families; but these low wages are
offered not as an equivalent for the labour, but as
beicg all that they can afford in the present state of
the market—They have no alternative but either to
reduce the wages or suspend their works entirely, in
which event the men must be thrown entirely out of
employment. It is to be hoped :hat the misled people,
on due resection, will avert this evil, and this is the
more to be hoped as all the people of importance and
11 consideration in the district, are labouring for their
relief. In proof of this we copy the following mast
important paragraph from the Gl.aucester Paper ;
" At the Monmonthsl.ire Quarter Sessions, held,
in the Town Hall;in Usk, on Monday the 14th day
of October last, the impression made on tl.e minds
• I
of the Magistrates, composing a large and respec-
table Bench, by the present state of the county.
was such; that a representation thereof to the CHAN.
cettoa of the EXCUAQUER was agreed upon unani-
Toasty, with the only exception of Lord GRAN ViLLE
Seateescr. This reptesentation, which the Chair-
man, B. HALL, Esq. undertook to transmit to la,st-,1
don the next day, after describing the dreadful bute
to which the county was reduced by the enormity or
its taxes and rates, declarci it to be the opinion of the
Magistrites of the county, in Session assembled, that
the taxes now speedily becoming due cannot be col-
lected; and respettfulla, but earnestly, requests some
remission of taxation. Too much praise cannot be
bestowed on the hi gistrates of Mlnrnouthsliire, for
dors patiitnically s epping forward on behalf of their
distressed tenants and neighbours, sad in support and
preservation of the peace the county."

It is impossible to read such a determination of s
most respectable Bench of Magistrates of a whole
county, without coming to the conclusion that the
people must be in ii• state of the utmost distress.
" The 'airs and rates now speedily becoming due,
cannot be collected !"—" CANNOT BE COL-
LECTEDI"—If they cannot, they cannot. But the
avowal speaks a volume, and shews that some im-
portant and radical remedy must be applied to the
present evils. We could mention several things
which Cinnot be done, The people, if measures art

bought up by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fond.
We might goi on, bat oat aim is not to foment
discontent, bat, if possible, to open the eyes of those,
who have the chief direction of our affairs to the
speediest way of affording relief to the emintry—zod
we make our stand with the Sinking Touch as that
which holds out the possibility of affording instant relief.
—The Magistrates of the county of Monmouth,
in recommendiug some remission of taxation, only
show that thiy truly see the source of the pjesent

Along with this, reduce salaries. Should the public

As to Sinecures—they are a fungus which should

by the eradication of sinecures, by a reduction of the
army to a proper scale, taxes to the amount of twenty
millions a year may be taken of. and health, vigour,
and activity, be restored to our languishing country.

COAV EXCHAMOt, OCTOIII4 23.—We had ; small

On Friday last, at .g.roderland market, a distur-

themselves. Some of the ringleaders wore taken into
custody, and will shortly be brought to punishment.
From the Nottingham paper;—•r We have been
informed, that threatening letters have been sent to
several different gentlemen in the hosiery trade here,
within the last ten days; and on Tuesday evening
last, s iine Nicked person discharged 4 loaded goo,
or pistol. through the warehome window of Mr.
George Gill, in this town, the ball from which broke
