STATE OF ENGLAND.
The sensation which has been excited
throughout the whole OF EngIan by the
Manchester Tragedy, as it is aptIy desig-
mated. is deep and general. In this city
there is perfect unanimity between men OF
all parties on this appalling subject. Eve
ry one asks, what will the Ministers do !?
Will those who have wan'only' shed the
blood OF their fellow countymen, be bro't
to trial, and il found guilty, made exam
Piles of ? There is no longer question as to
the facts, although the Courier, whose vile
promptings must have contributed in no
small degree to this dreadful consumma-
ton, has still the hardwood and the indie
cency to deny, distort, and suppress, as
it may suit its abominable purpose.
Out of evil good may cone, however
and, five are not much mistaken in our
estimate OF the probable effects OF 'he
Manchester catastrophe, the cry for re-
form, and for the punishment Of the guilty
in this dreadful business, will be sent forth
in voice OF thunder from land's-end to
lands. end.
The subject being Of such intense in
terest and deep importance as to absorb all
other considerations, we have devoted the
greater portion OF our paper this day to
shew the Irish public in what manner the
London press has taken it up. We also
insert from some of the principal London
papers, who had their reporters or CORES
pondeuts on the spot, the most authentic
accounts Of all that has occurred at Man
chester, down to Tuesday evening. This
was necessary 10 put our readers IN COM
plete possession of The circumstances. Ne
yer was a recital better calculated to ex-
CHE sympathy for the innocent and help
less sufferers, and bitter eXecratlon against
their prosecutors. Bad as we are in Ire
land--cruei and unteelng as we have
been to one understanding status our
annals so foul as this blot IN the page OF
English History.
The Courier continues most industrious
10 collect, or invent, whatever IS most a.
farming. In second edition Of Thursday,
it informs US that the following placard was
stuck up in some PARTS of the Metropolis
during the last night. Among other tpIa-
ces, it was stuck up On the door OF Lord
house -
To arms-Repenge--tke Manchester
Murders.
Another placard, it says, was alsO stuck
up, enforcing the necessity OF strong al
tendance on Monday, at Remington Com
mon. It's una rsiood that the meeting
he held on Monday, either there or
nearer the MetropoIls.-The Chairman is
nut yet named.
Hhea We consider under what feelings
of irritation this meeting viii be held, w
think that some judcIuus and temperate
means might he resorted 10, to cause us
postponeuent or prevention. Perhaps this
was the effect anticipated by The contrl-
vers OF the Manchester Plot.
The LverpooI papers OF Friday, bring
NO additional news RON Manchester.
