LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 8.
A fair Tuesday's demand for Cotton to-day, and from
2000 to 2,500 bales have been sold .at yesterday's prices, with
a market rather inclined to be tamer than for the last few
days.

COTTON MARKET, FEBRUARY g.
The tone and temper of our Cotton market is not of the best
quality. nevertheless a fair extent of business has been done to-
day, amounting to 4000 t►t'the prices obtained early in the
week, with a tendency rather to the advantage of buyers.

LOT'I'ON MARKET, FEBRVARY 10.
The long looked-for and much talked-of " Corn Law Measure"
by Sir Robert Peel has at lenkth been disclosed, and judging from
the general impression and feeling on Change, dire disappointment
seems to be the consequence. Wrong impressions may have been
received in haste, but it has had a prejudical effect upon our Cotton
market, increasing the gloom which for the last week has pervaded
it, and causing holders to take prices they have hitherto refuSed.
With this feeling, about 3000 hales have been sold. A slight con-
cession being readily yielded to the buyer, who has purchased very
reluctantly in expectation of a still further decline.

FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 11, 1842

The admirable address of Sir Robert • Peel, in
bringing before the House, of Commons his proposed
measure for the settlement of the Corn Laws, will be
found reported verbatim in our columns this day; and
we entreat for it the careful and attentive perusal of
our readers. A more luminous and convincing expo-
sition of the real bearings of this momentous question
upon the present condition of the country we have
never met with ; and to the factious outcry which
attributes every evil, under which the commerce and
the industry of the country languish, to the operation
of the Corn Laws alone, it furnishes a complete and
satisfactory refutation. It deals in no vague gene-
ralities; it contains no appeal to the passions or the
prejudices of any party; but is throughout a clear and
intelligible (levelopement of the views of the minister
and the cabinet, illustrated and fortified with statistical
details, and worthy of the best days of British states-

manship

To enable our readers the more easily to arrive `at
the principal features of Sir Robert Peel's proposition,
we shall endeavour to place it before them in a form
which will render it more intelligible, in itself, than as
delivered by the Right Honourable Baronet, and more
easy or

.omparison with the existing system, The

proposition of Sir Robert is to fix the maximum duty

upon wheat at 20s. when the average price in Great:
Britain is under 518. .per quarter. Above 51s. and
under 525. the duty is 19s. Above 525. and up to 555..
the duty is Hs. From this point the duty diminishes:
is. for every increase of Is. in the average up to 665.,
When "a rest" occurs, the duty being 6s. from that.
price up to 695. From Gs. it diminishes is. with
every increase of Is. in Price to 745., after which the
duty ceases entirely. The following tables, however,
which have been drawn up with the assistance of an
intelligent Liverpool corn merchant, will better enable
our readers to judge of the operation of the proposed
system :

UNITED STATES,

The following ought to have appeared in our publication of
Tuesday, but was unavoidably postponed :
At a late hour on Sunday we had an arrival from New
York. The ship Southerner, Capt. Palmer, reached the
river with New York papers of the 13th ; they contain some
interesting American parliamentary news. In the Senate,
on the 10th, Mr. Calhoun moved a resolution, calling for
information in regard to the case of murder and mutiny on
board of the Creole, and asking what step the executive had
taken in reference to the trunsaction, having for its object
the redress of the wrong done to American citizens, and the
insult offered to the American flag. On the 11th the reso-
lution was taken up for consideration. Some debate having
arisen on the proposal of an amendment to substitute " per-
sons " for " slaves," Mr. Calhoun condemned publications
which had applauded and justified the mutiny and murder,
the tendency and object of which were to fortify the preten-
sions of Great Britain in hostility to the rights of the United
States. He warned the south to awaken from their lethargy,
and to guard against combinations now menacing their in-
stitutions. Several gentlemen having delivered their senti-
ments on this subject, Mr. Clay rose to deliver his. He
had, he said, witnessed the occurrence on board the Creole
with deep regret, because it added infinitely to existing difff-
culties with Great Britain.. A case had occurred in which,
by mutiny and murder, a vessel was thrown in the power of
Great Britain. Were they to give up the murderers, or in-
demnify the United States, or not ? If not, then Ameri-
cans were denied the freedom of their own coasting trade,
and no vessel could sail from one port to another in the
South Atlantic without incurring the risk of seizure. He
hoped Great Britain would see the necessity of doing Ame-
rica justice in this case. Mr. Calhoun's resolution was
adopted nem. con.
In the money market at New York the principal topic of
conversation was the dishonour and protest of a draft drawn
drawn by Mr. Everett, the American minister in London,
and negotiated there, on the American government, for
12,000 dollars.

ARRIVAL OF ADDITIONAL TROOPS.

We understand that the 58th Regiment came to Manches-
ter yesterday per Liverpool and Manchester Railway, having
arrived at Liverpool during the night from Dublin. Two
additional troops of Artillery have also arrived, one from
Woolwich and another from Portsmouth ; also the 2nd
battalion Grenadier Guards.
Monday Evening, Half-past Seven.
EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL OF THE RIOTERS.

Two magistrates, D. Maude, Esq., and R. Norreys, Esq.,
sat at the New Bailey, at one o'clock to-day, to dispose of
some of the prisoners in custody. The proceedings are still
going on, and will probably last till near midnight. The
result will be the committal of about forty prisoners out of
forty-five who are to be brought up. The remainder will be
examined to-morrow.

It this moment the town is perfectly quiet. The meeting
of delegates in Carpenters'-ball terminated about an hour
ago. The result was a declaration, by a large majority,
against going to work till they obtained the charter. It is
rumoured that we are to have a grand field-day to-morrow,
but what is to be done nobody knows. The turn-outs keep
their own counsel pretty carefully.

O'CONNELL AND THE JESUITS.

" The greatest blow ever yet inflicted upon religion was
the suppression of the order of the Jesuits, and accordingly
a bitter punishment has followed upon the nations that com-
mitted that crime. They have been punished with the seve-
rity of a scourge of iron, and tears of blood would hardly
atone for the crime which they thus committed against them-
selves ; they were abandoned to themselves, I think I may
without profaneness say it, by the just anger of the Deity !
But here they are again ! the Jesuits again ! I remember
the time when a man would have been knocked down who
ventured to call out ' Hurrah fcr the Jesuits!' " (The meet-
ing here gave three cheers for the Jesuits.)—D. O'Connell,
Amphitheatre, Liverpool, 9th August, 1842.

LOCAL NEWS.

We understand that the treasurer of the Liverpool In-
firmary has received from the executors of the late Hugh
Jones, Esq., a legacy of £5OO.
FIRE IN PETER'S-LANE.—About half-past one o'clock,
on Sunday morning, a fire was observed by a woman to have
broken out in a cooperage, in Peter's-lane. She immediately
gave information to the police, and constables Nos. 213,
449, and 473 were speedily on the spot, and a timely applica-
tion of buckets of water succeeded in putting it out before
much damage was occasioned.

INSOLVENT Comm—H. B. Reynolds, Esq. the chief Com-
missioner, will hold courts for the relief of insolvent
debtors, at Liverpool on the 11th, 12th, and 14th of Novem-
ber next ; at Chester on the 15th, 16th, and 17th of the
same month ; and at Lancaster, from the Ist to the 14th of
December inclusive.

REMARKABLE AND UNPRECEDENTED FACT : RAPID-
ITY OP STEAM NAVIGATION.—The British and North
American royal mail steamer the Columbia, sailed from this
port on the evening of the 19th ult., and arrived at Boston
early on the morning of the Ist instant. The Acadia left
Boston on the afternoon of the Ist, and reached the Mersey
in the afternoon of the 13th instant, bringing replies to let-
ters dated Liverpool, July 19. The interval between send-
ing the letters and receiving the replies to them was a few
hours more than 24 days ! This is, we believe, the most
rapid conveyance of letters between the Old and the New
World ever known.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Sunday morning last, as
the Rev. Mr. Blacow was proceeding in his gig to West
Derby Chapel, for the purpose of his accustomed service
there, the horse took fright, and ran at frightful speed from
Pembroke-place along Elizabeth-street and Bedford-street ;
and in the latter street Mr. Blacow was thrown ont, and un-
fortunately his leg was broken. We understand that Mr.
Blacow was yesterday going on as favourably as could be ex-
pected, and was not likely to receive more injury than likely
to happen from such an accident to a person at his advanced
age. We believe the reverend gentleman bears the calamity
with his usual patience and firmness of mind.

CRICKET.—A match at cricket was played on Wednesday,
August 10th, between the Manchester and the Liverpool

SERIOUS AFFRAY.

(From the Cork Constitution of Thursday.)
An occurrence of a serio„_
evening about five o'clock, a7,aature took place on Tuesday
saw mills, Patrick's-quay, by-nwer• Quarry and Wilson's
the life of a recruit,
named Towell, belonging to the 1:11
Royals, was endangered.
The circumstances which led to the rlalucholy case, as we un- .
derstand, are as follows :—During the
part of the day a
ortedyfeervound guilty on
report became general that the four sawyers
de, for throwing
Friday, and sentenced to be trausp
the saw mills,
vitriol on Mr. Wilson, one of the proprietorrsof
steamer, lying at
were to be shipped on board the St. George
Penrose's-quay, for Dublin. Curiosity, or some other
turned
motive, attracted hundreds of spectators to the`3 oth
quay, to
witness the departure of these men ; but the re
port tu
out to be untrue, and the steamer left the moorings without
the convicts. The parties who were thus waiting returned
towards the town, Mont; Patrick's-quay, passing, of course,
the saw mills. the gateway of which was at the time open,
the workmen being engaged in drawing water from the river
to supply the steam-boiler of the mills. It appears that Mr.
Wilson's men, from the crowds that were collected, were
unable to get in the water, and the engineer then came from
the mills to remonstrate with them, but without success.
An attack on the mills being apprehended, word was sent to
Mr. Wilson of what was going on. Mr. Wilson instantly
came from the office with the intention of having the gate on
Patrick's-quay closed. Proceeding to the gateway he had to
pass through a long, dark, narrow passage, connecting the
mills with the qnay. While going through this passage he
stumbled over Towell and others. Towel recovered himself
and grasped Mr. Wilson by the breast. Mr. Wilson, in
ie return, grasped Towell, and a tussle ensued, during which
former,l:' impelled by, it is believed, the danger in which
he felt himself from threats recently used towards him, drew
adagger an& stabbed Towell in the side. Towell was imme-
diately taken to Mr. Brady, apothecary, Bridge-street,
and
thence to the Royal Hospital, where he now lies. The wound
is stated to be a severe one, but Dr. Howe, who attended the
unfortunate sufferer at the instance of Mr: Wilson, reports
him yesterday to be considerably better—better, too, than he
could have expected under the circumstances. A large con-
course of persons, on the occurrence
andcurree being known, assembled
to the amount of fromab0ut2,0
fore m e h

rent amongst them, great fears wereentertained

stable Ward, and a large party of
,i, policeezlee was proceeded
preserved . to
Theth e
mills, and by their presence the
police-remained until a late hour,
separated, they left a party in charge
of people having
e mills. At a late
hour yesterday evening we heard Towellthat was progressing
favourably. He is stated to be a native

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. AUGUST 12.

Since Monday we have feiv arrivals of English Wheat, those of
foreign are fair, but neither can be disposed of excepting at a re.
duction from the prices obtained on that day, and sales are very
limited. In Barley, Beans, and Peas we observed no alteration in
value. Oats are more inquired after, and the fine qualities obtained
rather better prices, but inferior are difficult to quit on late terms.

BOLTON.

Eleven prisoners have just been brought to the New Bailey
oni Bolton, who had been engaged in turning out factories.
The out-districts, Hyde, Mottram, Ashton,
&c., are all
quiet, and it is not anticipated that any more movementswill occur, unless attempts be made to commence working.

GLASGOW.
All was quit in Glasgow up to Sunday evening. On Fri-
day there had been a disturbance at R. Walker and Co.'s
power.loom factory. On Saturday three of the parties con-
cerned in the disturbance were brought before the sitting
magistrate in Calton, and sentenced each to thirty days' im-
prisonment. The dispute has now been satisfactorily settled,
and the workers have returned to their employment. The
colliers and miners in the Airdrie district still continue out.

WALLASEY

Is decidedly the most primitive village to be seen in this part
of the country, snd we scarcely ever remember to have seen
one more so. In once passing through it with a friend, who
had travelled in the East, he said it reminded him more of
some of the towns in Syria than any place he had ever seen
in England. It is a long scattered village, consisting chiefly
of small labourer's cottages, with here and there a house
above that class ; but there are very few houses of a higher
order in the village, although the outskirts and neighbour-
hood abound with them. Wallasey Church is beautifully
situated, and the prospect from it is most extensive and de-
lightful. Here the eccentric and erratic, but talented rector,
delivers, week after week, most excellent discourses to a
highly respectable and wealthy congregation, consisting
mostly of the inhabitants of some miles round. Dr. Byrth
is decidedly a favourite with his congregation, but whether
he is much to be met with in the cottages and hovels, with
which the district abounds, we know not. Few who have
resided any time in the village, can forget the unremitting
and untiring labours of the Rev. T. Alder, who was for 16
years the faithful curate of the parish. The Parsonage is an
old fashioned house, just below the church. The villae is
one continuous long street or lane, stretching from the` inn,
just below the church, (the host and hostess of which, by
the bye, are good sound Tories of the old school,) to the
sand-hills, beyond New Brighton. At the part of the village
nearest New Brighton there are some few very neat cottages,
which would form very pleasant summer retreats. The land
about Wallasey is extremely good and prolific ; and when
the contemplated bridge across the Pool is carried into
effect, it will doubtless render the land still more valuable,
and cause many improvements. We cannot see why there
should so long have been this gulph between this part and
Woodside, &c., for, if useless, surely the land might by de-
grees have been redeemed and the Pool filled up, and if
of any use, why not increase it's utility, and form it into a
navigable canal, opening it at the other end into the Dee,
which,we should suppose, might be accomplished at no very
great expense. There is along straight Roman road leading
from Wallasey Pool to Leasowe, which used to form a fre-
quent excursion from Liverpool, when the castle was used as
an inn, but now that it is inhabited by Sir E. Cust, this is
much discontinued, although there is still a very good inn,
hard by. But with pedestrians we would strongly recom-
mend their not passing by our Tory friends at the inn below
Wallasey Church, at the corner of the village, for we'have
seldom called without finding a snack of some sort, and
ready to our hands in a few minutes. The walk across the
fields from Wallasey to New Brighton is very pretty, as it is
along a high ridge of land, and commands a view of the
Welsh mountains, Leasowe Lighthouse, as well as the sea.
Many improvements are now taking place in the neighbour-
hood of Wallasey.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, AUG. 15.

We have had a large supply of stock at this day's market, which
met with a very limited demand at a reduction of 4d tb upon
most articles. Prime Beef 6cl ; middling sd to Sid; prime Wethers
; Ewes Sad to 6d, and Lamb Sid to dd, sinking the offal.
Number of Beasts 1202 ; Sheep and Lambs 8244.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, AuG. 12.

We have a good arrival of Wheat, the great bulk of which is
foreign. The trade continues dull, and so limited is the demand
that occasional sales are made at less money; but there is no
general disposition to submit to lower rates. Barley nominal.
Oats as before, and shelling Is per load higher. Beans and other
articles without variation in value. Harvest in this part will com-
mence on Monday, pretty generally ; the southern districts have
secured some quantity of Wheat; the quality everywhere is stated
to be beautiful, bat yield is not yet ascertained, so as to report
with accuracy , some plots are well spoken of; others decidedly
deficient.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 13.

The demand during the early part of the week continued good,
both from the Trade and Speculators, and a further advance of
fully id per lb was obtained upon the lower and midling qualities
of American and Surat. Since Tuesday the inquiry has con-
siderably abated, owing to the unexpected occurrence of dis-
turbances in the manufacturing districts, and the abeve advance on
American is now barely supported. Speculators have taken 11,000
American and 250 Surat, and Exporters 1800 American, 100
Pernambuco and 300 Surat.

The occurrences in the manufacturing districts have caused
considerable excitement in Birmingham, which is, however,
tranquil. The following inflammatory placard was posted on
the walls of the town on Saturday :

ATTEMPT TO. STOP PRINT-WORKS IN STRANGEWAYS.

Early this morning a large body of men, about one,
hundred in number, were seen approaching the print-works
of Messrs. Heald, Wilson, and Co., in Nightingale-street,
but the police and constables being on the alert they deemed
it prudent to retire by the way they had come. They were
heard by several persons to avow their intention of attacking
the works.

There were large bodies of men assembled this morning
in different parts of the town and suburbs, principally in
Granby-row fields, St. George's fields, and near the Ball of
Science, but they do not appear to have any definite object
in view at present.
The shops in the middle of the town are open, but most of
those in the suburbs are closed.
It is rumoured that Lord Stanley and Sir Robert Peel, as
well as Lord Francis Egerton, have visited the town during
the last few days, and that Sir James Graham was also ex-
pected to wait upon the authorities shortly. Their object is
no doubt to consult as to the best means which can be adopted
with a view to aiding the authorities in securing the peace
more effectually. We have heard of several other leading
political characters having been seen on 'Change, and amongst
them Mr. Hume is mentioned.

Twelve o'clock.
A delegate meeting was held during the day, but nothing
particular transpired.
The following proclamation has been issued by the Magis-
trates this morning :—" Whereas the press& disturbed state
of this town and district calls for the adoption of the strongest
measures for the restoration of peace and order. We, the
undersigned, respectively Magistrates of the County Palatine
of Lancaster and the Borough of Manchester deem it our
duty publicly to make known that all assemblages of persons
in considerable numbers having, under presentcircumstances,
a manifest tendency to endanger the public peace, and to ex-
cite the fears of her Majesty's peaceable subjects, are illegal,
whatever may be their avowed object and wherever held, and
notwithstanding they may not at the time be attended with
acts of open violence.
" And we hereby declare our full determination to use all
the means in our power to prevent and repress, and if neces-
sary, forcibly to put down the same. And we further caution
all well-disposed persons against joining in, or being present
at, any meetings or processions of this character, as they will
thereby bring themselves into peril, and incur the consequen-
ces of the measures which may be adopted for the preserva-
tion of the public peace.
(Signed by thirty-three magistrites.)

WALLASEY

Is decidedly the most primitive village to be seen in this part
of the country, snd we scarcely ever remember to have seen
one more so. In once passing through it with a friend, who
had travelled in the East, he said it reminded him more of
some of the towns in Syria than any place he had ever seen
in England. It is a long scattered village, consisting chiefly
of small labourer's cottages, with here and there a house
above that class ; but there are very few houses of a higher
order in the village, although the outskirts and neighbour-
hood abound with them. Wallasey Church is beautifully
situated, and the prospect from it is most extensive and de-
lightful. Here the eccentric and erratic, but talented rector,
delivers, week after week, most excellent discourses to a
highly respectable and wealthy congregation, consisting
mostly of the inhabitants of some miles round. Dr. Byrth
is decidedly a favourite with his congregation, but whether
he is much to be met with in the cottages and hovels, with
which the district abounds, we know not. Few who have
resided any time in the village, can forget the unremitting
and untiring labours of the Rev. T. Alder, who was for 16
years the faithful curate of the parish. The Parsonage is an
old fashioned house, just below the-church. The village is
one continuous long street or lane, stretching from the inn,
just below the church, (the host and hostess of which, by
the bye, are good sound Tories of the old school,) to the
sand-hills, beyond New Brighton. At the part of the village
nearest New Brighton there are some few very neat cottages,
which would form very pleasant summer retreats. The land
about Wallasey is extremely good and prolific ; and when
the contemplated bridge across the Pool is carried into
effect, it will doubtless render the land still more valuable,
and cause many improvements. We cannot see why there
should so long have been this gulph between this part and
Woodside, &c., for, if useless, surely the land might by de-
grees have been redeemed and the Pool filled up, and if
of any use, why not increase its utility, and form it into a
navigable canal, opening it at the other end into the Dee,
which, we should suppose, might be accomplished at no very
great expense. There is a long straight Roman road leading
from Wallasey Pool to Leasowe, which used to form a fre-
quent excursion from Liverpool, when the castle was used as
an inn, but now that it is inhabited' by Sir E. Cust, this is
much discontinued, although there is stilt a very good inn,
hard by. But with pedestrians we would strongly recom-
mend their not passing by our Tory friends at the inn below
Wallasey Church, at the corner of the village, for we have
seldom called without finding a snack of some sort, and
ready to our hands in a few minutes. The walk across the
fields from Wallasey to New Brighton is very pretty, as it is
along a high ridge of land, and commands a view of the
Welsh mountains, Leasowe Lighthouse, as well as the sea.
Many improvements are now taking place in the neighbour-
hood of Wallasey.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. AUGUST 12.

Since Monday we have few arrivals of English Wheat, those of
foreign are fair, btit neither can be disposed of excepting at a re-
duction from the prices obtained on that day, and sales are very
limited. In Barley. Beans, and Peas we observed no alteration in
valise. Oats are more inquired after, and the fine qualities obtained
rather better prices, but inferior are difficult to quit on late terms.

STAFFORDSHIRE.

In Staffordshire the turn-out is obstinately prolonged. A
party of 14,000 marched through Dudley, on Wednesday,
to Weclnesburv. By the way thoupnds from p ilston and
the surrounding neighbourhood joined their ranks, some
parties having music and flags. On arriving at the ground
there could not have been fewer than 25,000 men, women,
and children. The interest was increased by the arrival of
delegates from the Scotch miners, who are now turned out.
The troops and Yeomanry were called out, and every pre-
caution was taken to keep peace. Resolutions were passed
pledging the meeting to resist reduction of wages.
Some turned-out colliers, who.were levying " black mail"
in Burslem, on Saturday week,
private honses
were taken into custody. A
mob of 400 or 500 were collected in the neighbourhood :
they broke open the prison, and liberated those within.
pri
They then attacked the town-hall, of which they broke the
windows and the clock ; and an inn and tome
were much injured. The military were called, but they did
not arrive till the rioters had left the town and gone towards
Loughton. None of them were taken into custody.
Among the conditions demanded by the colliers of West-
bromwich are, that no man or boy shall go down a pit unless
he works a whole day ; that the truck system shall be aban-
doned ; and " that none of the men be employed at any of
the collieries unless the masters. agree to give them four
shillings a-day, two quarts of drink Per day, and the fire
coals every four weeks as before, at nine hours per day, one
hour for meal-time."
The troops recently arrived in Burslem were removed on
Friday morning to Manchester. Soon after their departure
a numerous gang of the discontented surrounded the lock-
up, and demanded the box carried by the liberated prisoners
convicted of begging. This was delivered to them, and they
immediately proceeded on a mendicity excursion, and be-
haved extremely insolent to many of whom they asked alms.
The neighbourhood was greatly excited during the day, but
fortunately the arrival of fresh troops tended to allay' the

apprehensions of tumult entertained by the well-disposed in
th 3 Pottery districts—a district which is suffering less than
any other manufacturing district in the midland or northern
counties.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, AUGUST 12.
The imports of stock from abroad during the present week have
been as follows :-26 cows in calf, 35 bulls, and 31 oxen, the whole
being from Rotterdam by steam and sailing vessels, and in very
middling condition. The cows sold slowly at from Lie to 1 10s;
the Bulls, .e 3 15s to ; and the Oxen. £l9 to £2l 10s each.
From Scotland we received 75 Beasts ; and from various parts of
England, 120 Scots, short-horns, &c. The Beef trade to-day
was very dull, and the prices had a downward tendency. The
supply of Sheep was small, while the demand for them was fair
at late rates. Lamb sold briskly, at an advance of quite 4d per Sib.
In Calves a fair business was passing, at full prices; but Pigs were
a mere drug. Mach Cows were held at from £l5 to 10s cacti.
By the quantities of Slbs, sinking the offal.

THE ROYAL PROCLAMATION.

The following is a copy of the Royal Proclamation issued
on Saturday :
The following Supplement to the London Gazette of Friday
last, offering a reward of Fifty Pounds for the authors,
abettors, or perpetrators of the outrages in the manu-
facturing districts was published on Saturday night :
"BY THE QUEEN.—A PROCLAMATION.

" VICTORIA R.—Whereas in divers parts of Great Britain
great multitudes of lawless and disorderly persons have
lately assembled themselves together in a riotous and tumul-
tuous manner, and have, with force and violence, entered
into certain mines, mills, and manufactories, and other
places, and have, by threats and intimidation, prevented our
good subjects therein employed from following their usual
occupations and earning their livelihood :
" We, therefore, being duly sensible of the mischievous
consequences which must inevitably ensue, as well to the
peace of the kingdom as to the lives and properties of our
subjects, from such wicked and illegal practices, if they go
unpunished ; and being firmly resolved to cause the laws to
be put in execution for the punishment of such offenders,
have thought fit, by the advice of our Privy Council, to issue
this proclamation, hereby strictly commanding all justices of
the peace, sheriffs, under-sheriffs, and all other ciyil officers
whatsoever, within the said United Kingdom, that they do
use their utmost endeavour to discover, apprehend, and
bring to justice, the persons concerned in the riotous pro-
ceedings above-mentioned.
" And as a further inducement to discover the said offen-
ders, we do hereby promise and declare, that any person or
persons who shall discover and apprehend, or cause to be
discovered and apprehended, the atbors, abettors, or perpe-
trators of any of the outrages above-mentioned, so that they,
or any of them, may be duly convicted thereof, shall be
entitled to the sum of fifty pounds for each and every person
who shall be so convicted, and shall also receive our most
gracious pardon for the said offence, in case the person
making such discovery as aforesaid shall be liable to be pro-
secuted for the same.

" Given at our court at Windsor, the 13th day of August,
in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and
forty-two, and in the sixth year of our reign.
" GOD SAVE THE QUEEN."
