| Serious Outbreaks In England and
Scotland.
A series of alarming riots have broken out in the
manufacturing and mining districts OF England and
| Scotland. The people during the past two years
| have borne the most pressing prvalions with exem-
pary fortltude. and have submitted 10 repeated
| ductons OF wages, account of the bad state Of
trade under the promise that we there should
be revival, better remuneration should be given
| to them. just, however, when an improvement in
| business was noticed, and they might reasonably
| have expected realization OF their long cherished
expectations proposed by three Of the leading
manufacturing firms at Staleybridge, near Manches-
| ter, and by some employers at Dunfermline, in
| Scotland, that they should submit to su further
| reduction. Whether there was any concert be-
not well be ascerained but the people, in both ca
ses, became exaggerated, and II 10 clear, from the
| readiness with which they were joined BY workmen
| of all descriptions, that the fame had long been
smoudering, and only wanted encouragement to
| burst forth into an extensive conhagration.
There had, fortnight previously, been turn out

adopted similar course but in consequence Of the
crowded state Of the population in the manufacturing
districts they were the more formidable in their
irruptions. After numerous meetings at Staley-
bridge, Ashton and Mottram, there wa u general
turn of the spinners and weavers at the former
place, in compliance with the demands Of an i'm
mense mob. A procession was then formed with
banners, on which were inscribed their determine
