PREDICTION BY ZADKIEL OF THE RIOTS AT MANCHES-
TER.—Some of our readers may probably be a little sceptical
on this subject ; yet it is nevertheless a fact, which may be
easily proved, by referring to Zadkiel's Almanac for the
present year, at page 17, where, among the predictions for
July, in the following :—" Let Manchester beware of tumults,
riots, fires, &c.; and again, for the 4th of August :—" Man.
chester is ill at ease this day ; " and that being the very time
of the tumults breaking out.

THE PALACE OF SCONE.

Few places present such claims to the notice of strangers
as Scone—long the residence of royalty, the metropolis of
the kingdom, and the theatre on which many important
scenes were represented. The approaching visit of her most
gracious Majesty naturally adds to the interest with which
everything connected with its history is invested ; and a few
memoranda of its antiquities, history, and present state may
therefore not be out of place. The former chiefly consists of
the well-known Fatal or Coronation Stone; the Mote Hill
or ancient place of justice; the remains of the Abbey; and
within doors of various monuments of antiquity. With re-
gard to its history, as connected with the coronation of our
Scottish kings, we may here shortly mention that Charles 11.
was the last sovereign crowned within its walls. The Pre-
tender, James, in his short attempt in 1715, fixed his resi-
dence here, and held a council on the 16th of January, 1716,
when he issued several proclamations, among which was one
for his own coronation upon the 23d of the same month.
The approach of the royal army, however, prevented that
ceremony taking place ; and with the departure of that
prince, Scone ceased to be the scene of any important event
in the history of Scotland.
Of the ancient abbey only the aisle now remains, which is
used as a receptacle for the ashes of the noble family to
whom it belongs. It contains one monument of tolerable
sculpture, viz., that of Sir David Murray, ancestor of Earl
Mansfield, the present proprietor of the place. Sir David's
figure is placed in an attitude of devotion, with a long in.
scription, recording his lineage, offices, and virtues. We
shall only add, that the revenues of. the abbey were very
considerable at the time of the reformation. They amounted
to
tmt o ~I,lofis. Gd. Scots money, besides sixteen chaldrons and
firlots of wheat; seventy-three chaldrons, thirteen bolls,
two
, firlots, and two necks of barley; sixty-two chaldrons of
meal
eighteen chaldrons and three bolls of oats ; and one
last of salmon.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, OcT. 13.
In our last circular we stated that prices generally had a down-
ward tendency, and, though supplies are moderate, this has con-
tinued to be the case during the past week, the business done
having been of quite a retail character, at declining prices.
At Wakefield and Liverpool, yesterday, the aspect of the trade
was dull and discouraging, and the same may be said of our mar-
ket this day.
The best qualities of new Wheat are offered at a reduction of 2d
to 3d per bushel, and meet a very limited sale. Flour is Is to 2s
per sack lower than at the beginning of the week, and even at
this reduction there is no disposition to purchase more tnan im-
mediate necessities require. Oats again is per bushel lower, and
hardly an enquiry for either old or new. The supply of Meal is
somewhat checked by the scarcity of water at the Irish mills, but
we must still quote it 6d per load lower.
Malt declines in value. Beans dull of sale, but without quotable
variation in value.

TO THE BURGESSES OF GREAT GEORGE WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
TJAVING been called upon by a numerous and respecta-
-1.1. ble portion of the Electors to offer myself a CANDI-
DATE for representing your interests in the Municipal
Council, in compliance with such request, I deem it neces-
sary that I should sacrifice some personal convenience,
rather than jeopardise the Conservative cause.
Having for many years carried on extensive business in
your Ward, and during that timeubecome intimately ac-
quainted with many of you, I think ift unnecessary for me to
enter into minute detail of my political principles ; I am sure
they are well known to all of you. In the Elections, both of
Parliamentary and Municipal Representation, I have been
always at my post, as the staunch supporter of the Conser-
vative cause.

I have ever been and will still continue the firm, unflinch-
ing, and uncompromising defender of OUR GLORIOUS CON-
STITUTION IN CHURCH AND STATE. I love my country,
and deeply should I regret that the rude and destructive hand
of Democracy were permitted to injure those blessed bulwarks
of our constitution which. in my mind, can only be pre-
served by imparting to the rising generation a SOUND SCRIP-
TURAL EDUCATION.
If elected as your Representative, you may rest assured
that I will to the best of my ability promote your interests
with zeal and fidelity.

I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant, •
THOMAS ROYDEN.

Pickled Butter meets a freer sale, at 74s to 755. The most impor-
tant occurrence that has taken place iu our Provision Market since
our last has been an attempted sale by auction 014000 to 5000 brls
of American Beef and Pork There was a large assemblage of the
trade and others, whom curiosity, perhaps, more than any other
feeling, had attracted to the spot. The bidding was very spiritless,
and the small quantity disposed of was at prices averaging about
43s per brl for Pork, and about 40s per brl for Beef, both duty paid.
The quality, neither in point of feed or handling, is at all to be coin.
pared with our own Irish prime mess. Since the sale, we under-
stand, a few hundred brls have been taken for home consumption,
and about 500 brls of Pork have been purchased for Australia. The
trade in Irish provisions has continued excessively dull ; there is,
however, a better feeling to-day, in consequence of a sudden de-
mand which has sprung up in London, where, it is stated, that any-
thing fine, either in Beef or Pork, has been bought up with avidity
Good Bacon is fairly inquired for, at 44s to 455.

AMERICANISMS.

BRIEFLESS BARRISTER.—Oar last batch of American
newspapers are more deficient than usual in backwood jokes.
The only good novelty we observe is one which argues that a
briefless barrister ought never to be blamed, because it is
most decidedly wrong to abuse a man without a cause ! The
following are not so smart, but characteristic of the sort of
fun amongst our transatlantic brethren :

MURTHER.—" Gentlemen of the jury," said a Western
lawyer, " would you set a rat-trap to catch a bar." Would
you make d—n fools of yourself by endeavouring to spear a
buffalo with a knitting-needle? Or would you attempt to
empty out the Mississippi with a gourd? No, gentlemen,
I know you would not. Then how can you be guilty of the
absurdity of finding my client guilty of manslaughter far
taking the life of a woman 7"

COLLOQUY.—" How do you do, Mr. Smith ?" "Do
what ?" " How do you find yourself?" " I never lost my-
self." How do you feel." ."
Pretty smooth,
I guess—feel
of me and see." " Good morning, Mr. Smith." " Good !
No; it's rather a bad one—it's wet and nasty."

A SOLEMN REFLECTION.—When the storm-tossed ocean
rises to lash the sky ; when the wild tornado is abroad ;
when the bosom of the solid earth is shaken by internal
throes, or beneath the glory and beauty of night ; when the
eyes of love are drinking the light up from your" soul—at
such a moment, oh ! let a sensitive mind reflect flow, in
thunder, am I going to pay that note to-morrow."
SuonTs.—" Bob, I understand you are on a cruise after
Dick to cowhide him." " Yes. lam off on a whaling ex-
pedition." " A play upon words," as the fireman said,
when he thrust his hose into the bookseller's store to put
out the flames."

WHITE MAN VERY UNSARTIN.—" Boy, who do you
belong to ?'' asked a gentleman, the other day, as he stepped
on board of a steam-boat,, and saw a " darky" listlessly
leaning
guards. I did blong to Massa William,
sir, when e
ene the
I come aboard; but he's been in the cabin playin'
poker wid de captain 'above a hour: I don't know how I
G'long to now."

ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM STAFFORD GAOL

A deep-laid plan to break out of the gaol here was disco-
vered on Friday morning by the active and intelligent governor
Mr. Brutton. It appeared that a large body of the prisoners
confined in one wing of the building had arranged to secure
the turnkey on entering the day room, and, after securing
him so that he could neither offer any resistance nor cry out,
to possess themselves of the keys, one of which they had
ascertained would open a room immediately adjoining, in
which fifty or sixty stand of arms were deposited. There is
little doubt that had the prisoners succeeded in possessing
themselves of the keys and the arms, they would have ac-
complished their object—getting outside the building. Ellis,
one of the prisoners, who has been convicted at the present
special commission, and several other of the convicts, were
engaged in the plot, and from the desperate character of
many of the party, and the small number of military sta-
tioned at the prison, there was every probability, had the
governor not received timely intimation, the plan would have
completely succeeded. The most efficient arrangements
were immediately made for the security of the prison, the
several doors opening upon their yards and day rooms being
strengthened with iron bolts and bars, and some old iron•
doors, which were not in use, having been applied to secure
the various passages. Several intimations had been pre-
viously received that such a design was in contemplation,
but the reports were believed to be unfounded, and it was
only on the very eve of the outbreak, which was fixed for the
following night, that positive information was forwarded to
the governor. The prisoner who communicated the design
of the gang, was Neale, a man who had been tried at the
present commission, and sentenced to two years' imprison-
ment and hard labour. A report of all the circumstances of
the case was immediately forwarded to the Secretary of
State. The prison is under the surveillance of six turnkeys,
seven wardsmen, all well armed, and a party of the 34th
foot mount guard day and night.
There are 186 prisoners for trial at the October Sessions
for Stafford, most of them being for offences connected with
the late disturbances in the Potteries. Of these, 24 are
females; 18 can read and write well, 15 imperfectly ; 4 can
read well, 42 imperfectly, and 59 can neither read nor write ;
13 are out upon bail.
