choly picture of the general state Of agricutur
Throughout the continent OF Europe; and it theme
is easy TO infer, how little England gains for he
own industry by system oil legislation which :,
contributes to impoverish the Continent that
large portion of its inhabitants, having little or M
vent for their produce, suffer under a correspond
ing inability 10 consume any portion OF Bri,iSl
goods, which would otherwise constitute the return
cargoes for that produce.
II Is Mr. Jacobs concluding allegation, and W,
are disposed To give it credit, that importation
would take place from the Baltic into the United
! Kingdom, at such price or in such a quantity
as. with duty OF los. l2s. per quarter; could
reduce the price OF British whea, below COS OF
G4s. IN fact, that If such duty were imposed on
foreign wheat, no induc.ment would exist for the
grower to attempt more extended cultivation OF
! it than at present.

and penalty inflicted the owner and master,

real offender, even when the owner has laid him

with The deepest interest; if the rioters proceed in

From the third edition Of the Blackburn Mail.
Mail Office, Thursday afternoon
Finding that Misrepresentation has arisen from
our account OF the proceedings at Grimsha,v Park,
on Monday aft ernoon, in consequence of our bav-
ing used somewhat too strong an expression, viz.
that the soldiers were ODerpopered by the mob
which is not correct in the full sense OF that word
we are anxious 10 set the public right upon the
subject. Our meaning was, that the soldiers " ere
driven off, but (Rs the fact was, that the mob being
SO numerous effected an entrance into the factory
at three or four places a, once which il was utter
ly impossible from the nature of the ground for the
soldiers 10 prevent.
We have received accounts of the proce limos
Of the mob, or rather various parties of the mob,
at other places, viz. Long Holme, near Raw
temstali, Edenfeld, Cadderton, and Bacup, at each
OF which the power looms in the factories there
destroyed. AT Bacup we understand, there
were four factories which shared this fate and i,
thus appears thai in the OF yesterday no lees
than eight factories were entered by the mob. and
We are sorry to add that at the attack on the
Chadderton factory eleven of tie mob (ten men
and woman) were shot dead, and that one of the
dragons stationed there, together with his horse
and also one OF party of rilemen, were NIowisc
killed.
a gentleman who came b. the mail from Man
chester last night also informed us that the lanes
between here and Bolton were literally filled with
people, who apparently coming across the
nfrvf from he eiu rbOo
riots were committed, and that the yeomen an6
cavalry mustered.
We have Just received information that similar
proceedings to The above have been begun at
Ashton-under- Lyme and Oldham. At the former
place we lie, n that attack has been made on one
of the factori, ere and that in the attempt thirty
five lives were lost

arrived from Clnoley with the intelligence that
The troop of Dragons who came from Leeds W ere
Immediately mustered, and have just started, sword
in hand, a; full speed, for ChorIey.
Half past Sir. y. M We stop the press 10
announce that the soldiers are Just returned the
mob having previous to their arrival in Chorley

LATEST INTELLIGENCE We have ac
counts from Manchester up to oc4ock yesterday
morning. In the immediate vicinity il is believed
several excuses bad been committed.
Every person connected with the manufactures
in such state OF confusion and alarm, that at
early hour intelligence that could be relied OH
of the riots during The night could be collected; but
as the masses of rioters which had appeared in
Manchester during the day, were observed TO pro-
coed in the direction where the mills were, and
which most likely 10 be attacked, the most
serious fears entertained that the effects Of the
proceedings Of the mob during the night would
soon be heard OF. In the mainline, the most ener-
getic measures were taken by the police and mill
