SUNDAY, AUG. 21.—Since Tuesday we have no disposi-
tion to riot ;: during Wednesday and Thursday, the unem-
ployed, from the stoppage of the factories here and in the
neighbourhood, congregated in small knots about the town,
but everything has so far passed off quietly. The Castle
has been fitted up for the soldiers, so that we are both willing
and ready to give them as warm a reception as they experi-
enced on Tuesday, when we gave them the first check to
their lawless proceedings. The special constables parade the
town during the night to guard against their malignant pri-
vate intention. Matthew Wilson, Esq., who was reported
as killed, is quite well and in daily attendance with his bro-
ther magistrates, who have been highly complimented by
Sir James Graham, for their praiseworthy and successful
exertion. J. B. Garforth, Esq., who was so severely in-
jured by the mob, is fast recovering. The factories have
continued working, and business is assuming its usual appear-
ance. The factories at Keighley have also commenced
working, and I do not hear of the Sunday meetings which
have lately been so frequent upon the hills.

SKETCHES OF SOCIETY.

(Prom the Literary Gazette.)
The American journals are always full of drolleries like
the following. The editors in remote and almost uninhabited
regions, have often little of general news and none of local
interest, and are therefore obliged to fill up with such wit as
they can remeint e: from old Joe, or invent: such specimens
as these :

THE STRIKE AT DUNFERMLINE.

Up to Tuesday of the present week, all in the town as
well as among the surrounding collieries was quiet. On Sa-
turday one or two arrests were made at Halbeath, and but
for the systematic activity of the police, some disturbance
might have ensued by an attempt among the colliers and
their wives to rescue the prisoners. The cause of these ar-
rests was an alleged attempt to cut the rope on one of the
railways ; and also for riotously entering public-houses and
bakers' shops on the previous Wednesday. On Saturday all
was so far quiet that Sheriff Monteath attended the Regis-
tration Cotirt in Cupar. The superintendent of police has
also withdrawn part of his force to their usual stations. The
military still remain, and part of them will likely do so till
some security of a settlement between the colliers and coal-
masters shall be come to. The Lord Lieutenant has left for
the moors.

On Tuesday (the 16th) one of the rioters (Allan) appre-
hended for attempting to rescue another prisoner, and de-
force the constables in the execution of their duty, was tried
before the sheriff, and sentenced to 60 days' imprisonment
in Kirkaldy jail. Petrie, Brown, and Fife, for forcibly en-
tering a baker's shop in Crossgates, have been examined and
committed for farther trial. Their case is likely to assume
a serious aspect. On Monday, another of the ringleaders in
the riot of the previous Tuesday was apprehended and com-
mitted to jail.

Up to Wednesday noon, all was quiet in the burgh, but
the surrounding collieries of Townhill, Halbeath, &c., were
still unsettled. The men at Elgin, Fordel, and Donibristle,
were at their work as usual. Dundonald, a small colliery to
the cast of Lochgelly, is said to have struck work on Mon-
day. On Tuesday the collieries in the east of Fife had re-
ceived threatening summonses to attend another great "ag-
gregate meeting" this week—day and place as yet unknown.

NOTTINGHAM.

On Friday the town was restored to tranquillity, but in
the evening the mob reassembled at Carrington, and pro-
ceeded to the factory of Messrs. Biddle and Birkin, at New
Basford, where they made a violent attempt to turn out the
workmen. The magistrates took steps for the suppression
of the disturbance, and whilst one of them was reading the
riqt act, it was torn from his hands. On Saturday they had
another gathering, and attempted to turn out the hands of
Mr. Berry's factory, at New Radford, but were unsuccessful.
They then went to Lord Middleton's pits, and endeavoured
to induce the colliers to join them ; but before they got
there, two troops of the Queen's Bays, under the command
of Colonel Charlton, intercepted their progress, and they
were soon driven back in the wildest confusion, 39 of them
were taken prisoners. On Friday all was quiet at Lough-
borough, but on Saturday large bodies of men were going
from village to village, compelling the stocking makers and
other artisans to cease labour. At Sheepshed, where there
is a manufacturing and very poor population of about 4000,
this illegal coercion was carried on to an almost general
extent. In many instances the operatives expressed great
regret and reluctance to quit their frames, but the brutal
and alarming threats of their mob masters compelled sub-
mission.

HALIFAX.

SATURDAY.—AII is going on favourably, that is peaceably.
From the surrounding neighbourhood the most cheering
accounts of the resumption of the mills are hourly received;
and in all probability hardly a mill will be closed on Monday
next. The general feeling of the operatives is decidedly
opposed to this " national holiday ; " a feeling which many
mill-owners have strengthened by their determination. "If
you will play you may, but it shall be for six months," was
the declaration of one manufacturer to his men ; whilst others
have been careless of the recommencement of their mills for
a longer period. In few cases, however, have such declarations
been necessary ; and the only fear, therefore, arises from the
dread of interference from operatives coming from a distance.
On Friday morning the eight rioters committed to York
Castle, were sent off in an omnibus to the Sowerby Bridge
railway station, escorted by the military both horse and foot.
This station was selected as the road to it is more advanta-
geous for the military in case of resistance, than the very
daugerous one to Elland ; but not the slightest necessity for
the military appeared on the rood ; and on their return to the
barracks their services have been required no further for the
whole day.
The swearing in of special constables has partially con-
tinued ; and late last night an address to the millowners by
the magistrates was published, recommending them to com-
mence work, and offering them protection in doing so.

THE METROPOLITAN AGITATION.

This agitation, which was to have given full employment
to the whole disposable military force in and near the metro-
polis, or, in the language of the chartists, have kept them " at
home," continues to flicker under the watchful observance
of the police. The peculiar offensiveness, however, of the
" agitation"—viz., the nocturnal perambulating of the " pa-
triots" of Cow-cross, Field-lane, Saffron-hill, St. Giles, the
Mint, and other equally respectable and intelligent portions
of the metropolis, has been, we believe, effectually remedied.
The vigilance of the police has defeated the objects of the
rogues who enrolled themselves under the banners of Char-
tism ; and the various sinks of iniquity with which London,
like every other great city, abounds, are now, as previous to
the attempted "agitation," each tenanted by its own proper
and peculiar pickpockets and burglars. They find they are
much more likely to be " lucky" in their usual sly and
sect et avocations than in an open attack, even when attempted
under the fostering care and support of chartism, upon per-
son and property.
On Saturday some further attempts were made by a few,
and but a few, Chartists, to hold meetings on Clerkenwell-
green, in Islington, and other parts of the metropolis, but
is
sued
against police rigidly enforced the orders which have been
against seditious and tumultuous assemblages. The agita-
tors intend to try what they can do this evening on the other
side of the water. Kennington-common is the rendezvous
fixed upon. They speak very confidently of the thousands
who will meet " in their strength" on the occasion, but as
the police will of course carry out the orders alluded to, no
opportunity will be afforded to the agitators to sympathise
with the rioters of the north, or present sedition to the tur-
bulent and disaffected "at home." A. meeting of " the
electors of Finsbury," at which Mr. T. S. Duncombe and
Mr. Wakley are " expected to be present," is announced,
we perceive, for to-morrow night, at White Conduit House.
Should it take place, we prognosticate that the last scene of
the farce of " metropolitan agitation" will have been enacted.

COLLIERS' AND IRONSTONE MINERS' STRIKE.

We have little new to communicate from the mining dis-
tricts to the East of Glasgow. We may mention, however,
that, on Tuesday, a man knocked down a baker at Rawyards,
about two miles from Airdrie, with the intention of stealing
some bread, but he was apprehended, and has since been
sentenced to sixty days' imprisonment. We may mention,
likewise, that a meeting of colliers and miners was held near
Coatbridge upon Tuesday, when it was resolved to continue
the strike. A person, however, from Clackmannanshire, ad-
dressed the assemblage at great length in favour of the
charter, and it was resolved to hold a subsequent meeting to
consider the propriety of striking for the charter, instead of
for a rise of wages. The military are represented as behaving
very ill in Airdrie—about a dozen of them being in custody
for having been drunk, and some of them, it is said, will be
tried by a court-martial. In Campsie, during Monday and
Tuesday, the whole coal, lime, and alum works in that
neighbourhood were stopped, in consequence of the hands
employed in them having been forced to suspend their labour
by a body of men, who proceeded from Kirkintilloch in order
to effect that purpose. We understand that the men em-
ployed by the Hurlet and Campsie Alum Co., under their
contractor, have likewise had to submit to the demand of
the colliers, to strike, although we believe their wages have
never been reduced, they being perfectly willing to remain
in their employment. As a company of the military have
been called out for the protection of the men, it is expected
that the work will be resumed in a few days.

turday one or two arrests were made at Halbeath, and but
for the systematic activity of the police, some disturbance
might have ensued by an attempt among the colliers and
their wives to rescue the prisoners. The cause of these ar-
rests was an alleged attempt to cut the rope on one of the
railways ; and also for riotously entering public-houses and
bakers' shops on the previous Wednesday. On Saturday all
was so far quiet that Sheriff Monteath attended the Regis-
tration Court in Cupar. The superintendent of police has
also withdrawn part of his force to their usual stations. The
military still remain, and part of them will likely do so till
some security of a settlement between the colliers and coal-
masters shali be come to. The Lord Lieutenant has left for
the moors.

On Tuesday (the 16th) one of the rioters (Allan) appre-
hended for attempting to rescue another prisoner, and de-
force the constables in the eneution of their duty, was tried
before the sheriff, and sentenced to 60 days' imprisonment
in Kirkaldy jail. Petrie, Brown, and Fife, for forcibly en-
tering a baker's shop in Crossgates, have been examined and
committed for farther trial. Their case is likely to assume
a serious aspect. On Monday, another of the ringleaders in
the riot of the previous Tuesday was apprehended and com-
mitted to jail.

Up to Wednesday noon, all was quiet in the burgh, but
the surrounding collieries of Townhill, Halbeath, &c., were
still unEettled. The men at Elgin, Fordel, and Donibristle,
were at their work as usual. Dundonald, a small colliery to
the east of Lochgelly, is said to have struck work on Mon-
day. On Tuesday the collieries in the east of Fife had re-
ceived threatening summonses to attend another great " ag-
gregate meeting" this week—day and place as yet unknown.

HALIFAX.

SATURDAY.—AII is going on favourably, that is peaceably.
From the surrounding neighbourhood the most cheering
accounts of the resumption of the mills are hourly received;
and in all probability hardly a mill will be closed on Monday
next. The general feeling of the operatives is decidedly
opposed to this " national holiday ; " a feeling which many
mill-owners have strengthened by their determination. "If
you will play you may, but it shall be for six months," was
the declaration of one manufacturer to his men • whilst others
have been careless of the recommencement of their mills for
a longer period. In few cases, however, have such declarations
been necessary ; and the only fear, therefore, arises from the
dread of interference from operatives coming from a distance.
On Friday morning the, eight rioters committed to York
Castle, were sent off in an omnibus to the Sowerby Bridge
railway station, escorted by the military both horse and foot.
This station was selected as the road to it is more advanta-
geous for the military in case of resistance, than the very
dangerous one to Elland ; but not the slightest necessity for
the military appeared on the rood ; and on their return to the
barracks their services have been required no further for the
whole day.
The swearing in of special constables has partially con-
tinued ; and late last night an address to the millowners by
the magistrates was published, recommending them to com-
mence work, and offering them protection in doing so.

THE POTTERIES.

Oti arriving at Newcastle, we found that a great number
of the rioters at Burslem and Hanley were under examina-
tion before the magistrates. The result was that 18 men and
2 women were committed to Stafford Castle for trial at the
next assizes. Work was partially being resumed ; and in
the meantime, all the towns were filled with military and
yeomanry, but no disturbance was apprehended.

THE METROPOLITAN AGITATION.

This agitation, which was to have given full employment
to the whole disposable military force in and near the metro-
polis, or, in thelanguage of the chartists, have kept them " at
home," continues to flicker under the watchful observance
of the police. The peculiar offensiveness, however, of the
" agitation"—viz., the nocturnal perambulating of the " pa-
triots" of Cow-cross, Field-lane, Saffron-hill, St. Giles, the
Mint, and other equally respectable and intelligent portions
of the metropolis, has been, we believe, effectually remedied.
The vigilance of the police has defeated the objects of the
rogues who enrolled themselves under the banners of Char-
tism ; and the various sinks of iniquity with which London,
like every other great city, abounds, are now, as previous to
the attempted "agitation," each tenanted by its own proper
and peculiar pickpockets and burglars. They find they are
much more likely to be " lucky" in their usual sly and
secret avocations than in an open attack, even when attempted
under the fostering care and support of Chartism, upon per-
son and property.
On Saturday some further attempts were made by a few,
and but a few, Chartists, to hold meetings on Clerkenwell-
green, in Islington, and other farts of the metropolis, but
the police rigidly enforced the orders which have been issued
against seditious and tumultuous assemblages. The agita-
tors intend to try what they can do this evening on the other
side of the water. Kennington-common is the rendezvous
fixed upon. They speak very confidently of the thousands
who will meet " in their strength" on the occasion, but as
the police will of course carry out the orders alluded to, no
opportunity will be afforded to the agitators to sympathise
with the rioters of the north, or present sedition to the tur-
bulent and disaffected " at home." A meeting of " the
electors of Finsbury," at which Mr. T. S. Duncombe and
Mr. Wakley are " expected to be present," is announced,
we perceive, for to-morrow night, at White Conduit House.
Should it take place, we prognosticate that the last scene of
the farce of " metropolitan agitation" will have been enacted.

LEICESTER

AUG. 19, HALF-PAST 11 P.M.—The streeta are crowded
with people walking about; the police and special constables
have orders not to allow any one to stand still ; one or two
instances of opposition have been offered, but the parties
being secured and conveyed to the police-station, no further
violence was offered. A party of men entered the house of
Mr. Tebbutt, baker, in High-cross-street, during his ab-
sence, and compelled his wife, who was in a delicate state, to
give them several loaves of bread ; another party, in Bel-
grave-gate, seized a tub of apples belonging to Mr. Ward,
and carried away the contents. Several instances of intimi-
dation have occurred, which have led the inmates of houses
and shops to comply with the demands of the mob. The
malcontents, finding from the experience of the Belgrave
meeting that they could not stand against the civil and
military force opposed to them, 'nave expressed a de-
termination to " serve their oppressors out some other way,"
and this, we regret to state, appears to be a return to the
Swing system, as an alarm of " Fire" reached the town
about nine, p.m., which proved to be a hay-stack belong-
ing to Mr. J. Hames, hosier, standing in a close belong-
ing to the corporation, adjoining the road leading from
Leicester to Lutterworth. A meeting had been held near
the spot about an hour previous, and there is no doubt that
the stack was wilfully fired. The borough and Midland
Counties Fire-office engines, with their brigades, were
quickly on the spot, but could not save the property. At 20
minutes past 10 p.m. Mr. Goodyer, with eleven of the county
police, left town by railway train for Loughborough, a large
meeting of Chartists having assembled there. In the early
part of the day they entered the factories of Messrs. Cart-
wright and Warner, and compelled the hands to turn out.
In the afternoon they proceeded to Sheepshed and Hathern,
and entered the houses of the framework-knitters, for the
purpose of causing them to leave work, but this many of
them refused to do ; the mob in all such cases took a part of
the frames away. Hayfield's (the policeman reported to have
been killed by the mob on the 12th instant) house was sur-
rounded, and the crowd groaned and used threats towards
him. Mr. Phillips, of Garendon Park, was quickly on the
spot with a body of special constables, who dispersed the as-
semblage. Mr. Dawson and the Rev. J. Dudley attended at
Hayfield-house, to take his depositions against the party who
attacked him and his dwelling on Friday, after which six
warrants were issued for the apprehension of the men who
took pert in the proceedings. At Moira barricades are being
erected.
