sines I wrote you yesterday. A deathlike stillness
pervades this town, which looks more like a place
besieged than the once busy capital of the first mono-
factoring district in the world. Tranquillity has

most secure basis. Every body is under fearful
appreheosine that the state of extreme exasperation
into which the populace have been universally
thrown by the melancholy events of Monday, and
which they are continually indicating in a hendred
ominous war, may yet born forth in a manner
too sofa to be contemplated. The Authorities

SATURDAY, AUGUST 41, 111s9.

M.tscnversit, that ever.te-be.famed spot for pru-
dence and prows., is at this moment in the condi.
lion of a fevered patient, who baying wearied every
limb by the esacerbation of a delirium, lies in a state
of anxious repose, but is without sleep. The motives

fad of rich manufeetering Justices of the Peace, but
to the People et large who inhabit it. If, indeed,

or bludgeons, the case might have been different. A
eetessporary 'miter, favourable to the views of Re.
form, has suggested the propriety, and even hints at
the necessity of 'meting armed to discuss the nature
of and remedy for our grievances. We are, however,
