Mr. HUME then continued his reply, and disclaimed any inten-
tion to be personal with respect to the flight Hon. Gentleman.
Alderman HSYGATE spoke to order. He considered it irre-
Lulu for a mover of a motion to address the House after a motion

to adjourn.
The SPRARER nid a Member might offer his reasons for con-
tinuing the consideration M the question instead of sdjourning.
Ur. lit/ ME then went on with his reply—As Ministers had

Ace nothing towards promoting economy, be thought that the

giresenting aitihumble Address to his Majesty to be pleased to look
W. the prhsent state of the nation, and be hoped that his motion
would meet with the support of the House.

Honourable Member also observed upon the decrease,
.with repect to sugar. If there was anything in
the statements of his Honourable Friend which had
staggered him, it was that which he had made re-
lative to the increase of crime, as proved by the
number of commitments which had taken place.—
He vibuld entreat •the attention of the House to this
part of the subject fnr a few minutes. His Hon-
ourable Friend had said, that notwithstanding the greatl
pins which had been taken to better the condition of
the people, by a general diffusion of knowledge, and
more complete means of instruction, it was a melan-
choly factrthat of late years a great increase of crime
had taken place; hilt he did not think that he had ad-
vested to a circumstance which made a material differ-
ence in the calculation ; the difference between a period
con,sequent'upon a state of war, and a state of peace.—
He had taken the average of two periods, from 1809
to 1814, and from 1814 to 1825. Now, he would
think the calculation more fair; and the estimate more
just, if a line were drawn between 1816 and 1817,
because the disbanding of the army did not take place
until the latter year, or rather till 1818. tithe line was

drawn then and the average above that time taken, it
woulctappear that a great increase had taken place. The
average of the.keeen years of war, previously to 1816. was
6.700 commitments, and that of the next seven 13.000.
Thete was an increase all of a sudden, which could not
be accounted for in any other way than by the dis-
banding of the army, and the consequently great num-
ber of persons who weteout of employment. In 1816,
the number of commitments was 9091, being an- in-
crease of nearly 20:0 over that of the pieceding
year; and, in 1817,- 18,932 being an increase of
nearly .5,001 Now, if the House would consider
these things as arising out of the previous war, and
the disbanding of the 'trmy, and partly from the
scarcity owing to the bad harvest of 1816, it would
pause before it concluded that the more extended
education of the people had not produced a salutary
effect, and that that effect had not resulted in a diminu-
tion of crime. Having said so much, he would not now
trouble the House with any further observations. He
did not think that he had omitted anything on which
the Right Hon. Gentleman had touched, which was
worthy of discussion, with respect to the motion of his
Hon. Friend—a motion which he most sincerely and
heartily thanked his Honourable Friend for bringing
forward, and for which the House, when it came to
reflect upon the subject, would also feel grateful,
because he had, with incredible labour and perse-
verance, with an industry and patience peculiar to
himself, and which he believed no other man in the
House would have had the courage to undertake—gone
through a mass of accounts the mist intrincate and
confute.' which could well be imagined, and deduced
from them the clearest and most intelligible statements
and references—all leading to the deductions in his
forty-seventh proposition, as the• result of the whole
inquiry, that we ought to review cur expenditure, and
not only not exact millions from the pockets of the
people, but not even one shilling mere than was abso-
lutely necessary, and that the sooner an effectual course
of reformation was pursued, so that the people should,
be relieved of the bnrthens by which they were weighed '
doWn and oppressed, in the only way in which they could be effec.
malty and permanently relieved, the sooner and bettir they would
discharge their duty to their constituents, and the more happy
would they be to meet them again.
Mr. II ABRRLY roe amidst a loud call for the" Ciposties
Be was desirous of sayi. g a few words in vindication of the Hen.
Member for Montrose. He considered the statement made by dm
Hen. Member correct. In 181:41 the public debt was 31,0001. more
Wan In 1819. He deprecated the Sinking Fund, end expressed kls
reedit's'', in consequence at the remark made by the Member the
Whiehelses, to assist in the management if public accounts and the
making of a balance sheet.
Mr. ROBERTSON rue to give his opinion upon the question,
but the cry of " No, No! Question, Question ." prevented the
Hon. Member from Being beard. Finding the Halve unwilling to
bear furthei debate, the Hon. Member moved to adjourn.

Although it is universally acknowledged that Trade
is reviving in the Manufacturing disttiets, and much is
doing to alleviate the dttrtreises of the unemployed poor,
yet we regret to have to announce some new outrages,
in which the mob have come in contact with the mili-
tary, when some blood was shed. This has been the
case at New Islington, near Manchester, and at Brad-
ford, 'where, although the weavers had long struck for
higher wages, they had conducted themselves peaceably.
With respect to the affair at New Islington, the private
letter from nur Correspondent contains the latest par-
ticulars. One of the persons wounded was a cotton
spinner out of work, of the name of Harrison. With
regard to Bradford, the town appears to have been in a
feverish state for some days; and a Meeting of unem-
ployed ,workmen took place on Fairweather Green on
Monday, when they marched to North Wing Mill, and
attacked it twice, but were repulsed. Nothing transpired
until Wednesday, when a second Meeting was held at
the same place, the fatal particulars of wh ch will be
found in the subjoined extracts from the Leeds Intel-
tower of yesterday.

Portant Imam, to lay before your Readers the occurrences that
are now taking place in the town and in the populous neighbour-
hood. that come within ray own personal observation or are pro-
perly authenticated. TuesdaY, a greater number of calicoes were

stequint you, that a tolerable quantity were also disposed of yester-
day, certainly_at low prices: good water twist, No. $4, was sold at

my letter of yesterday I omitted to notice that on Tuesday evening
there was an assemblage of unemployed weavers in the neighbour-
hood of Bank-tap, who attempted to force the power-loom factory
of Messrs. Johnson and Co. lam informed by a very respectable
person, on whose testimony I can rely, that two persons were
wounded, the proprietors having stationed a guard in the interior
of the premises. They were immediately taken care of ; one of
these was conveyed to Mr. Windsor's, an eminent surgeon in
Piccadilly, and every assistance aforded, but he soon died; the
other was taken to the Infirmary. lam informed bey one connected

duty in various towns within twenty miles of this place. Tice in-1

in Gen the miltary will use the same patience and forbearance they
did here on Friday and Saturday last. I highly admire, and so

Mr. Norris, of Mr. Foster, and of Mr. Lavender, under very
trying circumstances : they exercised patience and perseverance,
and they certainly are entitled to the best thanks of every good.

THURSDAY MORNIAG, OKR feCIACX.—The news of the onfortu.
nate occurrences at Bradford to-day has excited much agitation is
Leeds. Thousands of people collected this evening, itt Briggate,
and by shooting, atc. kept up an incessant noise for some hours.
The Magistrates, in consequence, issued an order to the constables
and police officers to clear the streets, which they effectually accom-
plished, much aping the inclination of the crowd. Tors great
praise cannot be given to Mr. Head, the Chief Constable, and his
subordinates, for the manner in which they performed this arduous
duty. We are only sorry that two or three of the latter have re-
ceived serious injuries front the stones thrown at them by the more
stubborn of the mob. several of whom are now in custody in our
Court House. The town is pet fectly quiet at present. We goy
the press to mention that two prisoners front Bradford have passed
through this town, under an escort of the Yorkshire Hussars, on
thek way to Turk Castle, fully committed for trial.

DREADFUL AFFRAY.
At one o'clock, not more than a dozen people were on the ground,
but they continued to increase till near three. when there was
perhaps a t►ousand—they seemed quite at a loos what to do. There
were no hustings eiected, or other previous preparations made; and
being without leader or spokesman of any description, they appeared'
to be quite at sea, as to the-object of their meeting, except what
was contained in the general terms expressed in the handh•lls—
nor could it he ascertained. although intiolry was made on the spot,
who it was that called them together. Mere seemed, however, to
be at, understanding orneriest them, that they were going to march
to the mill of 'Messrs. tio►sfall, as they did on Monday. Some of
them proposed, not by way of resolution for ;eneral adoption,
hut inertly suggested in the course of a desultory conversation,

1 that the most Cttestilll *mild be to pass a neoaltetlon to the
effect, that a be torthWitb pronentod Ss the Lerida-
tare, requesting that the present state of she Con Laws be Jaime-
diately taken into Consideration. Another priposed that they
AMU! petition fret Parliamentary Reform. That melds. Was passed
in an Adel way. 'After forming In several mope till About
twenty naltUtei pelt three, they again moved in a body to Messrs.
Honiara mlll, where they arrived a little before four o'clock.
• They began throwing stones at the windows as before. We should
here rematk, that the squares which were broken'. in Monday,
about 140 in number, had been since glazed. They continued at
this work for about half an hour when they bad completely drove
in three of the windows, stancheons, frames, sad everything con-
nected With them.
On Tuesday,"'Amen bad been employed In fixing iron bars in
front of the low windows; and, as the doors were secured by straw
three-inch deals, it was almost impossible to farce an entrance.—
At half-past four o'clock, Colonel Plumbe Tempest, accompanied
by a ;amber of special constables,'stood on the ground adjoining the
Mill, and read the Riot 'Act. The mob still sheered no disposition to
disperse, but continued throwing stones at the windows for some
time afterwards. All other efforts hitherto adopted proving un-
availing, the persons who were in the care of the mill, amounting,
we believe, to 100, Ared about AO shots upon the mob, which
wounded several, and made the others leave that part of the ground,
and go to the other side of the ntill. Several persons were now
engaged, in carrying the wounded to the Dispensary, which was not
far from the spot. One of the guards in the mill then appeared at the
opening of a window in the upper story on the south side, when there
was a tremendous rush along the opening from the mill to the
street, in which several females and othors were thrown down, but
without any serious accident.
The civil power being now found insualcient to restore order,
two troops of the Yorkshire Human were immediately ordered out,
and proceeded, with Lord Grantham and Colonel Yorks at their
head, to the scene of action, when part of the mob dispersed ; others
remained on a piece of ground eastward of the mill, about a yard
higher than that which the Yeomanry occupied. Taking ad-
vantage of their situation. they threw some stoues at the officers,
when a few of the Hussars leaped the walls, and drove them off in
all directions. The neigbourbood of the mill now became clear
but the streets adjoining continued to be crowdedothe mob offered

no violence, but often manifested symptoms of disapprobation by
hissing and shauting.
The Mowing Is a list of suck of the wounded as were retained
in Bradford.
William Walker, Baildeu, shot through the right arm.
James Britton, of Queen's Head; he received a ball under the
shoulder blade, which passed through the longs and came out at his
right breast. He was not expected to live.
Charles Wilton, of Halifax, shot above the left breast.
William Briggs, of Bingley, shot through the arm.
Jahn Barker, Clayton, w , shot through the wrist.
Them were all young men, from i• to 25 years of age.
Edward Fearnley, a buy 13 years aid, received a ball just below
the navel.

John Taylor, 7 years obi, son of a woman in the workhouse, was
shot in the groin. He was attracted to the spot on his return from
school.

In addition to these, three others were wounded in different
parts of their bodies. Not a towsman of Bradford is among the
wounded, and the mob was chiefly composed of the inhabitants of
the neighbouring villages.

Mexican Papers have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house, to the 4th March.
The Colombian brig of.war, Gen. MANRIOUR, arrived
at Vera Cruz on the 2slMarch, in twelve days' passage,
having on board a Commissioner from the Colombian
Government to that of Mexico.

The Altgenzeine Zeitung of the 28th tilt. received this
morning, states that the article from Berlin, in the
French 'Papers, of Russia having sent its ultimatum to
the Porte, " is believed to proceed from a much more
important source than a mete private communication."
This Journal then alludes to the former treaties oetweenl
Russia and Turkey, particularly the treaty of Kaiwardy,
concluded on the 18th of January, 1775, which stipulates
security lor Wallachia and Moldaviii with respect to re-
ligion ; amnesty for the countries which had been in the
hands of the Russians during the war; and the admission
of the Ru,sian right of protection. In the 17th Article,
Russia gives back the Islands of the Archipelago on
the same conditions; and the Convention of Constanti-
nople, concluded in 1779, stipulates, in the 7th Ait'cle,
indemnities for the inhabitants of the Mom, on account
of the war, and the. same security and protection for
them as for the inhabitants of the two principalities.
If these are the demands of the Emperor of RUSSIA
now, they do not afford so 'good a prospect for the
Greeks as could be wished.

Last night. in the House of Commons, Mr. Hums
brought forward his promised motion on the State of the Nation,
and concluded a speech of nearly four hours' length with moving
" that an address be presented to his Msreser, praying that he win
be graciously pleased to take Into consideration the present state
of the nation." In the course of his speech he embodisd his
opinion in a string of forty-seven Resolutions, which went to
condemn the whole of our present financial system. This system
is charged by Mr. Hume, in the Resolutions, with increasing the
privations and distress of the laborious classes of the community,
and decreasing the consumption of malt; and with having increased
crime, and diminished the consumption of spirits and tobacco.
The CUANCIILLOII of the Review= ably and successfully com-
bated the opinions of Mr. Hums, refuted some of his assertions, and
tripped up a few of his assumptions; when the motion of the Hon.
Member was negatived by a majority of IS4 to 51.
The question of the Bonded Corn was adjourned to this evening.

Accounts from Lisbon, of the 15th April, state that a
