" Fiat Justiha." " If It Were Passible F...
" FIAT _justiha . " " If it were passible for the working classes , by combinin _** EHion _; themselves , to raise , or keep up the general rate of -rapes , it need hardly he ssi'd that this would be a thing not to be _jnnished , but to be welcomed and _rejoiced at . _"—Stcai _.. Mill . At a business meeting of the Executive Committee ofthe above Association , on Tuesdav , the 29 th ult G . A . _Elemi-ig . Esq ., inf he chair , Mr . Green gave a long and interesting report of his recent tour through the midland and northern counties . The primary object of Mr . _Green ' s mission was to visit , personal !} -, the Trades bodies whieh unitedly constitute the National Association , to la y before the members , specially convened for the occasion , tbe exact position of the Association , and to take their opinions whether the great principle ofa National Protective Confederation should be maintained or abandoned .
The Executive Committee had determined upon this step , iu consequence ofthe secession of several of the branches , and of the doubts expressed by some still in connexion with the Association , whether , considering the results of the recent prosecutions , and the lamentable failure and subsequent abandonment ofthe principle of Frote _. tive Union , by the Amalgamated Engineers , it was possible for that principle tobe _nationslly sustained . It maybe here necessary to state that the Committee , with a seven years ' practical experience of tbe operations of this Association—with a vivid consciousness of the great pecuniary benefits and enlarged industrial freedom which
have been obtained directly by its influence , and are still enjoyed by many trades now and formerly connected with it—are deeply impressed with the value and importance of this princi ple to the Trades of this country—and are resolved , at whatever personal sacrifice , to uphold the right of British artisans to combine , to concert , and to carry out , such measures as they deem essential for their general benefit , and for the protection of tbeir only capital—their Labour . Tbey came to tbis determination after long and mature aelib ? ration . They noticed , with deep interest , the spread and growing popularity of the idea of national union as the sheet anchor of industrial liberty . They _-witnessed the crnde attempts recently and still making , in different
quarters , to construct new organisations upon the same principle , and knowing the difficulties they bave had to contend with and have overcome , they were , and still are , justified in anticipating tbat many , and perhaps all these attempts , will end in failure _' and disappointment . Considering themselves , then , the depository of a great public principle , which has been most unscrupulously assailed , and which , there is great probability will have again to be defended from similar attacks , they conceive themselves bound by the most powerful considerations of duty and principle , to maintain their position , and to exert them-Eelves for the maintenance of the existing organisation as a nucleus and rallying point for the trades of Great Britain .
It was in futherance of these views , therefore , that Mr . Green ' s mission was projected ; and they feel great pride and pleasure , fo find that their opinions and policy have the hearty sympathy and unanimous concurrence of the members of the Association . Without one single exception , or , _aBwe can learn , an individual dissent , it is determined to maintain the National Association . Its present officers have been also unanimously reelected for the ensuing year . The trades still belonging to the Association have resumed their regular payments , and such as were in arrears have
determined to pay them off forthwith , and a considerable portion of these arrears have been already received . In adition to tbis very satisfactory position / and as the crowning success to Mr . Green ' s exertions , an adhesion of five hundred new members have been added to the Association . It is almost superfluous to add , tbat stimulated by this generous confidence , placed in them by their constituents , the committee will proceed immediately with a vigorous agitation in town and country , and invite the trades to affirm or negative the claims of this movement , and of the great principle of which it is the exponent—National Union—for their support and adoption .
Mr . Green further reported an unsuccessful attempt lie had made to obtain a hearing by the Conference of the Boiler Makers of England , recently held in Manchester . It was known to the Committee that the question of joining the National Association had been long under discussion in the local branches of that numerous body of men , and from their correspendence , and from other sources of imformation , were led to believe that a very strong and general feeling prevailed in favour of a junction with the
National Association . The Committee thought it , therefore , their duty to send deputations to their Annual Conference , to give such information and explanations as mi ght be necessary , to enable the delegates to thoroughl y understand the principles and objects of the Association . We regret to say that our deputation was refused a hearing , _although we must add , by the bare and slender majority of two , out of an aggregate of not less than thirty-two delegates present
What may have been the influencing motives of the majority for so unusal and ungracious a proceeding we cannot divine , hut we venture respectfully to observe , that if any of these gentlemen hold opinions hostile to the _objectsjaud princi ples of the National Association , it is just possible that those opinions may have been founded upon prejudice , arising from misapprehension or misrepresentation , and that tbe more liberal and rational course would have been to subject their opinions and prejudices to the ordeal of a fair and dispassionate discussion ; and in this case such a coarse seems to ns to have been due to the very large minority , and to the members they represented "We feel assured that this mode of cushioning a a question , however temporaril y successful , will not succeed , but , in all probability , cause it to be more closely and generally inquired into .
Mr . Winters has been appointed to proceed immediately npon a propagandist ' tour to Newcastle , Sunderland , Shields , & c , and he will take an early opportunity of announcing , by advertisement , where he may ha communicated with by the Trades of that localit y . W . Peel , Secretary . June 30 th 1852 .
Bbadfoed.—Important Meeting Of Woolcombe...
BBADFOED . —IMPORTANT MEETING OF WOOLCOMBERS . The most basiness like and important meeting of this body wbich bas been held for some years took place of Monday last . The assemblage first took place in Broom , fields , and afterwards , for tbe better transaction of business , adjourned to the large room of the " Old House a . Home , " which wa 3 densely crowded . Mr . R . "Whittakkswas unanimously called to Ihe chair * and _addressed . the meeting on the important business they had met t . discuss .- He trusted that they would conduct the proceedings ia an orderly manner ; and , after explaining the preliminary steps which bad been taken , informed them that other well-known parties had propositions to make which would _brinj the business more prominently before ihemr
Mr . G . "WmiE addressed the meeting at considerable length . De said that the condition of the _Woolcomhers of . Bradford wa 3 such tbat _itbecame imperatively necessary to adopt measures to rescue themselves from its degrading effects . Tbey had met io try a final experiment , not , as in former days , to propose a strike , but to adopt measures to raise themselves from the position into which , the much vaunted " Commercial system * ' had placed tbem . It entirely depended ou their conduct tbu day whether tbat meeting wottid prove useful or ortberwise , aa an entirely new course of proceeding was about to be proposed to them . In former days , when grievances existed , they had recourse to Etrikes ; now , however , that system was utterly useless . They
were told that their labour was superseded by machinery , and yet the men who made the statement had , of late years , encouraged au overwhelming influx of hands to the trade , thus laying the sure foundation of a frightful amount of pauperism . It therefore became a question for the ratepayers afc large , whether they also were not interested in the matter ? He would not dwell on _tbe-question , whether the _present low state of wages was caused by -improved machinery , but come at once to tha conclusion , that their labour either was required , or it wag not ' . In order to _asre tarn this he would advise the election of a Judicious view "_ . ; f \ . business should be to procure an _interwoU-Snf _* . _f- - _* tture _« on the _subject .

band as there was ten years ago , but , as the trade had greatly increased , it was used as an assistant to machinecombed work , and , as far as he wasconcerned _. ho was for giving it up wholly to the machines , rather than be mocked by the present apology for _waees . { Lo _*| d cheers . ) If the manufacturers maintained that their machines were capable of doing their work , let tbem ( the workmen ) then demand tbe means to emigrate to Australia , where their labour waa required , and let them appeal to the manufacturers , merchants , and rate-pavers , to assist them . Above all _things U was necessary that they should elect a good Business Committee to carry out their object . He adverted to various other topics connected with the welfare of the trade , and proposed the following address to the adoption of the meeting : — .
_ , THE _FIN'AL _ _PPM .. . The won ' cotnbers of Bradford and its vicinity havins been at length reduced to the lowest point of endurance , by causes over which tliey have no control , are necessitated to make a final effort to deliver themselves from thc state of semi-pauperism to which they are subjected . Thev feel that the present is the most fitting time to lay their condition before the public , in order that a remedy maybe devised , so as to produce ., timely check totheflooa ot pauperism which must inevitably befal this town . It therefore behoves u _., as the primary sufferers , to look the evil fairly in the l . ice At the same time we feel that the rate-payers at large bave a deep in * rest in the satisfactorv arrangement of thw lamentable state ot things , as they wiU have to suffer in a secondary degree through payment of increased poor ratea . Wo do not desire to blink tlie question . Either our ser . iee 3 are requisite , or they are not . it they are , we ou Kht to be remunerated . If tbey are not , and that machinery is capable of performing our work—better and cheaperthen may we say with the immortal Shakespeare ' Othello ' s occupation ' s gone ; and , in that case , have a fair claim on the resources whicli exist for the transfer of tho . «_ urn . u _ labour' of the country to other
scenes of active industry , rather than wgetate m degrading poverty , and become a burthen to the public iu the prime of our manhood . That the worsted trade is , at present , in a fair , and even prosperous condition , few will d _* nv . That the trade lias increased orlate years to an enormous extent , is beyond question—as proved by the number of lame milts and princely warehouses lalely erecied . Reasoning . y analogy , we ought to suppose that this sunshine of prosperity ought to have shed a few of its rays on those who ; by _themselves and fami . ies forming the chief portion ofthe _papulation , have been the foundation and mainstay ofthis prosperity . But the reverse is the case , as our wage , have declined in proportion to tie increased demand for worsted goods , and now we are told to depart , by those who have grown wealthy by our labour . results from
We are told that this state of ttiinjrs improved _machinery which performs our work better and cheaper . We deny it ! Wo deny that anv machinery yet invented is capable of doing our work . Ask the overlookers in the variou . mills , whereboth s ¦ _ _.. of work are daily spun , and they will tell you that the produce of the machines isa wretched apology for our work , and that they are compelled to mix our work with it in order to give it the necessary draft and tension , the yarn being afterwards foisted on the public as the genuine article produced by hand labour . Tuat they make an imitation , we admit , in the same manner as the shoddy ' men grind up old rags , and make them into a resemblance of cloth , bat there the similitude ends . The markets are innndated with such flimsy goods , made from .. tt-m . warps aud machine weft , so that a purchaser has a difficulty in finding the substantial worsted cloth of former days . There are still a few manufacturers in this town and neighbourhood who have abstained from meddling w _" th the spurious system , and find their reward in a constant , steady , and regular demand . Still , if the spurious goods take the market , ' as they may do for a time , it will not do for thousands of mtu to drag out a miserable existence whilst waiting for a revulsion .
Our course is clear . If the mass of us are not required , then we appeal to the justice of the manufacturers and merchants to enable the able-bodied to emigrate . "We ask neither pity nor cold compassion ; we require justice . Surely , if our trade is superseded , we have as strong a claim , even on" the government , as the peasantry ofthe ' Highlands and Islands of Scotland . ' We therefore call upon the ratepayers of Bradford to render ua their _suppOTtand co-operation in endeavouring , at this auspicious time , to remore the main source of pauperism from the town . The address was seconded by Mr . C . Thobn , and unanimously adopted . Mr . P . Diixoy , an old and active member of tho body , then read a lengthy and eloquent address to the Woolcombers , in which their past sufferings and present duties weie pointed out in a clear and comprehensive manner . This address wa 3 also agreed to . Mr . T . _Sronn , former treasurer of the "Woolcomhers , next addressed tbe meeting on the necessity of union and good feeling .
Mr . J . Smith proposed tbat a committee of twenty-five be appointed to carry out the object of Mr . White's address . Mr . White proposed a committee of nine . It was ultimately agreed , in order to preserve unanimity , tbat the committee should consist of fifteen persons . Twenty-four persons were then nominated , out of which the following were eleoted •—John Smith , Patrick Dillon , George White , Matthew Browett , Maurice Moloney , Samuel Kelly , James Thomas , John Parrott , James Richards , John Clayton , William Stott , Joseph _Ivevin , John Reynard , Barnaby Holland , Thomas Leman . Mr . J . _Emmeti was then elected treasurer , the remaining offices being left to the discretion of the committee . It was then resolved , on the motion of Mr , J . Smith—* ' That the committee shall not meet at a public house . "
A . vote of thanks was then given to the chairman ; and thus concluded one of the most orderly and best conducted meetings held by this trade for many years ; the most kindly feeling prevailed throughout . The Committee met at seven o ' clock in the evening at Wilson ' s Temperance Hotel , Southgate , When Mr . Patrick Dillon was elected Financial Secretary * , Mr . John Smith , Corresponding Secretary ; and Mr . Stott , President . After tbe transaction of some preliminary business , the following were elected by ballot as a select committee-. —George White , Patrick Dillon , Matthew Wade Browett , Thomas Leman , Barnaby Holland , James Thomas , William Stott . Tbe Committee then resolved to meet each evening from eight to ten o ' clock , when all parties requiring cards of membership , or having other business to transact , are requested to attend .
Coxditiox Of The Framework. Knitters Of ...
COXDITIOX OF THE FRAMEWORK . _KNITTERS OF HINCKLEY . Themiserable condition of tho Framework Knitters of Hinckley was well known many years since ; in almost all parts of England . Tbe privations Uuy have endured , and the patience they have displayed in their sufferings , have escited the wonder and admiration of many of the higher classes in the surrounding districts . About eight years ago a Mr . _Muggridge , Government Commissioner , came to inquire into the condition of the Framework Knitters , when it was stated by tho manufacturers tbat " the average earnine 3 of the Framework Knitters was from 5 s Gd . per week . " This statement included the wages of men , women , and minor" ? - The relieving officer , while giving his evidence before the Commissioner , shed tears in abundance . And one working man declared , " the only animal food he had been
able to get for several weeks was a sheep ' s paunch . " The Commissioner was astonished at their sufferings , and admired their patience . The working men looked anxiously to parliament for assistance , but they were doomed to disappointment . The representatives of wealth refused to legislate for the wealth producers . No class of workmen in the country has tried to keep up _wages more than the Framework Knitters of Hinckley . Trades' Unions have been numerous , and strike bas followed strike in quick succession , yet wages are lower now than tbey haveever been . I do not ' say tbat Trades ' Unions have not been of service . They havo sometimes enabled the . workmen to prevent a reduction , at other t mes they have been able to obtain an advance of wages ; but , whenever a panic took place they found themselves slaves , doomed to suffer a thousand privations , and unable to resist the will of the most petty tyrant .
A few years ago arose the system of making two , three , and four hose at once . These formed what _is'called the straight hose-branch . This , sort of goods were sold cheip ; the demand for them _iacreised _, wages rose , and for a time all went on well . The working men began to think the reign of prosperity would never cease . But the reign of prosperity has ceased , the hopes of the workmen have fled , and that branch which , but three years ago , was the most important in the town , is fast sinking into insignificance . At the present time the earnings of those employed in the straight down hose branch , making two , three , and four-at once , manage from 6 s . to 8 s . p . r week . Those who are engaged in the wrought hose branch ( making one afc a time ) , earn from 5 s . to 7 s . per week . I know men in Hinckley—hard working men
toowho cannot earn more than _os . per week . And thiB i 3 the condition of working men iu Great Britain , whose " glory * ' is spoken of in every clime . ' The misery of the producers of wealth , the poverty of the producers of riches , the privations endured by those on whose exertions not only the greatness aud glory , but tbe very existence of society depends . They must work , suffer , and die , uncared for . Oh , Englishmen ! let us cease to talk of the glory of Britain , of her wealth and power , and think more of the sufferings of her wealthy creatures . Let us become truth seekers and truth-tellers . Let us acknowledge our slavery , and learn the means by which we can redeem ourselves therefrom , and raise ourselves to thafc position in society , which , as the producers of all wealth , we ought to occupy . g Hinckley , June 23 th .
The "Bayonet Tells Us That It Was First ...
The " bayonet tells us that it was first made afc _Bayonner " cambrics that they came from Cambray ; "da mask" from Damascus ; » arras" from the city of the same name ; " cordwain' from Cordova ; " currants" from Corinth ; the " guinea" that it was originally coined out of gold brought from the African coast so called . Such , indeed , is the manufacturing progress of England that we now send our calicoes and musling to India and the East , yet thewords give standing witness that wo once imported them from thence ; for , " calico" is from _Calcut , and «« muslin from Mossul , a city in Asiatic Turkey -ASECDOIE op CuBnA _> -. _ puring one of tho circuits , Curran was dining with a brother advocate at a small inn keot by a respectable woman , who , to the well ordering of her establishment , added a reputation for that species of ant and keen reply which sometimes _suDolies the ul ___« nf „;_
The dinner had been served , the wine was pronounced excellent , and it was pronounced that the hostess should be summoned to receive their compliments on her good fare . The Christian name of this purveyor was Honora , a name of common o _^ _vvence in Ireland , which is _generally abbreviated to Honor . Her attendance was prompt , and Curran , after a brief eulogmm on the _dinnerf but especially the wone , filled a bumper , and handing it , proposed as a toast , " Honorand Honesty . " His auditor took the glass , and with a peculiarly arch smile , said , •' Our absent friends , " and having drunk off her amended toast , she curtseved and withdrew—From Notes and Queries , ' Stranso _PaatcH _ Bs .-We are informed that in the neighbourhood of Komgsberg , m rrussia , coropany - of stroller , of both sexes have lately been making gam by delivering sermons in sleep The police have however interfered , and brought these pe _ s _ na . es under medical inspection ; the result has been that one man awakened

Fatal " Riot In Stockport. One Man Kille...
FATAL " RIOT IN STOCKPORT . ONE MAN KILLED AND SIXTY WOUNDED . THE MILITARY C ALLED OU T . Sunday last was the anniversary of the usual procession of all the Roman Catholic scholars connected with tho three chapels in Stockport . The recent royal proclamation against Roman Catholic processions was much _ti _*™*™*< and the Irish Orangemen and other Protestants , _Ei ghsh and Irish , contended that the procession ought not to oe 8 The procession , however , did take place on _San _^ Y afte r noon , and . on the whole , passed off qmetly . It started about two o ' clock from the Catholic chapel at _MS ""* - which is a suburb of tbe town near the railway sWioii , _^ _ v _ n _ o ___ ___»_ -fi- _ . ror _ . _ t . oof . n _ rnss the Waterloo-road
down Churohgate and _Park-streefc , through Yl arien-s _. reet , up fleaton-lane _, up the Wellington-road , _tov ™> " ** J *' turning _asain to the Roman Catholic chapel , Ed _? eley . J he procession was headed by the priests , and a numoer ot _irit-ft _labonres walking six a-breast ; then came the numerous hoys and girls in the Sunday and day schools . There were no banners in the procession ; the priests did not wear canonical vestments , but appeared in ordinary attire ; even tlie girls' handkerchiefs or vests , which they usually wore on these _occasions , were laid aside ; and they only wore white frocks , and little crosses suspended mud thein _^ ck bv ribbons . The onlv badges or symbols that might be supposed to contravene the proclamation were a ball and cross , and a gilt dove . As we have said , the procession passed along its course , withont the slightest disturbance , beyond occasional groans and hisses from zealous Protestants , and they finally dispersed without any breach of the peace of whicli we have heard
. ~ . In the _' eourse of Mondav evening , one of the police-officers reported at the police-office , that a number of English and Irish were _fightins ; but as this was by no means an unusual occurrence in Stockport , it was regarded as a mere drunken row , and bv no means supposed to be ot a more serious or riotous character . The numbers , however , of the combatants rapidly increased , and this affray taking place in the HiHgate , one of tha principal thoroughfares , information of its continuance and increase was despatched to the police-office , and Mr . Sadler , who had previously sent two or three officers , proceeded to the spot himself atthe head of a body of firemen ; but on reaching the place they found the mob dispersed and everything apparently quiet . Curing tbe remainder of the evening , and throughout the night , all continued tranquil ; there was no renewal of the disturbance in anv part of the borough . tran
During the whole of Tuesday everything remainoa - quil ; hut the Rev . Mr . Forstev , priest of St . Michael s _^ Roman Catholic chapel , in tho Park , called on Mr . Sadler ,, and stated that there appeared to be considerable angry , feeling on the part ofthe Irish Catholics , and that he was . apprehensive that they would assemble in the evening m considerable numbers in the locality commonly known m Stockport as Bomber ' s Brow ( or _Garnett-street . ) Under these circumstances Mr . Sadler proceeded to tako such precautions as he thought advisable . He sent three or four of his officers into tho _Hillgate , to observe whether there were any signs of assembling ; and about a quarter before _eifht o ' clock on Tuesday evening , one of these officers , named John Leigh , sent a verbal message to the policeoffice , bv Mr . Charles Brown , agent , <_ o ., to the effect thafc
all was perfectly quiet , and that thero were no indications of any unusual asseroblina . Mr . Sadler contented himself with sendine a few more officers to the locality , and within a quarter of an hour after receiving the former message , he received information at the police-office ( which is within the Court-house , _Vernon-sfreet ) that very suddenly considerable numbers English and Irish had simultaneously made f'eir appearance in HiHgate , and had commenced fighting with sticks and other weapons . Which party commenced the fray Mr . Sadler was unable , either then or subsequently , to ascertain . He immedi . tely got together some assistant constables , and was proceeding witb them to the spot , when information reached him that the rioters had been driven back hy the police and others from HiHgate , and that a considerable number of Irish had gone in the
direction of High-street , which loads to a neighbourhood principally inhabited by them , and known as Rock Row , Petty Cnrr , Carr _' Green , & c On learning this , Mr . Sadler , at the head of his small staff of assistant constables , proceeded along Underbank , down Cheetergate , and so to Rock Row , which he entered from the bottom , and saw a number of people collected at the upper end of the row ( which , with only one or two exceptions , is inhabited whol ' y by Irish , ) and extending into afield adjoining St . Peter's Church . They appeared to be in conflict , and as he was proceeding towards them with his men they were met by a considerable body of Irish , who assailed the police w ' : th stones , brickbats , and other missiles , while various sorts of projectiles were cast from the houses , and even women were seen upon the roofs of the cottages hurling
slates , bricks , < fcc „ on the police . However , the small force under Mr . Sadler ' s command , succeeded in driving back and dispersing their assailants , many of whom rushed into tho houses ; some of them being captured and conveyed to the police-office ; and ultimately , comparative quiet and peace being restored , Mr . Sadler sent for the mayor and magistrates , who called out the military . Then tbe magistrates , with the police , a number of special constables ( just before sworn in for the occasion by the magistrates ) , and tho troops proceeded down _Chestergate to Rook Row , and Petty Carr . There they found a considerable assemblage , and the riot act was immediately read ; on which , aided by the efforts of the police and special constables , the mob speedily dispersed . They then proceeded to Edgeley , where they found the large Catholic chapel completely sacked and gutted , and the priest ' s house pretty nearly in the same condition . The rioters here bad brought the furniture , & c , out of the
chapel and the residence , piled ifc in the road and set fire to it . While the authorities were there , a messenger arrived with the information that the mob had proceeded to St . Michael ' s _Ttomnn Catholic Chapel , in the Park ( near the Court-house ) , had broken tbe windows , and were destroying the furniture , & c . The civil and military authorities and forces proceeded thither with all speed , and on their arrival found that the furniture had been dragged Out , broken up , and some of it set fire to ; and that some of the rioters had attempted to force open a largo iron safe , supposed to contain several articles of silver used in the services of the chapel . With the aid of the police , quiot was speedily restored , and a considerable number of men and youths ; who were known to have taken part in some of these riotous proceedings , wero apprehended and conveyed tothe Court-house . Many of the . e were severely wounded , and from four o ' clock in the morning till noon , four medical men were more or less engaged in dressing
their wounds and hurts . .. Great confusion prevails , both as to the order of events , and the time of any particular attack , * but wo believe the following to have been the order in whieh the events occurred . After tbe police bad dispersed the mob in the HiHgate , the Irish , in a tolerably compact body , retreated towards Rock Row , the lower end of which opens upon St . Peter's-square . At the corner of Rock Row and the square stands a large house , the residence of Mr . Graham , surgeon , who , we _^ believe , has in some way incurred the hatred of the Roman Catholics . They assailed this house wtfch volleys of stones and brickbats , smashed most of the lower windows , and the servant man received a severe wound in the forehead from a stone . In this attack , the next house belonging to Mr .
White ' s factory also sufiered considerable injury in the lower windows . The mob then turned tbeir attack upon tbe Sunday school conneoted with St . James's Church , which stands opposite to Mr . Graham ' s house , on the other side of the square , and they had broken some of the windows in tbe building , when they were overtaken by the English , who attacked and drove them up Rock Row , and then seemed to have proceeded in retaliation to Edgeley , gutted the Roman Catholio chapel imd priest ' s house there , and thence to St . Michael ' s Catholic chapel in the Park , which they also sacked , as already stated . Here the more serious outrages to property seem to have been stayed ; but fights between small bodies of both factions continued for some hours afterwards . In these fights one life has been taken , and it is not improbable that other
very serious injuries may terminate fatally . Between eleven and twelve o ' clock , a party of police succeeded in capturing a stout athletic young Irishman , whose name is said to be Darby Searle , about twenty-four or twentyfive years of age , who waB said to have wounded three , or four men with a pitchfork . When apprehended , however , he had received a severe fracture of the skull and other injuries , and as be was evidently dying he was . removed from the other prisoners and placed in a room below the Court-house / where he expired about a quarter before two o ' clock on Wednesday morning . Ifc was after midnight before the disturbance was quelled . St . Peter ' s Protestant School does not appear to have suffered muchj but a good many squares of glass have been smashed ; and so there have ia Mr . Graham ' s house . But
the houses of the Irish Catholics , in Rock Row , are a wreek . There is an alehouse , occupied by a man named Robert Reynolds , opposite Rook Row ; and we are told there were eight men in this place when the riot commenced , and the rioters broke in the windows with bricks , smashed the furniture to atoms , and actually attempted to set the house on fire . The inmates escaped in the utmost trepidation , one of them , a youth , leaping from a back window twenty feet high . The rioters ; next took the houses in Rock Row . The first was occupied by a man named _Shnughnessy _^ and the windows , and frames and doors , aro entirely gon ' ej and there is not an article of furniture loft . The second house was occupied by the deceased , Darby Searle . The neighbours say he was in the Louse when the riot commenced , and that after breaking his windows they attacked and forced open the door ; thafc he resisted them , but was dragged out , overpowered , and received the fatal blow which killed him . The house is completely
gutted ; windows , doois , furniture—everything was destroyed . Tlio third house is Wm . Riley ' s , and this has been completely gutted . The rioters couldnot . break open one door , but it is marked in dozens of places with tbo indentations of a hammer head . The fourth house is thafc of Timothy _Finuigan . . The window shutter wa 9 _fastened , and the mob could not get it open , but they forced an entrance into the house , and broke and threw away tho furniture , together with two trunks of clothing . The ' beds of all the houses entered were torn to pieces , and the straw , chaff , and shavings with which they wero chiefly , stuffed , blowing about the streets on Wednesday in clouds . The fifth house is that of Michael Tully , ' a wido . er , with two sons and two daughters . The rioters smashed the furniture of this bouse to atoms , including a clock and some chairs and tables of a better kin . than were possessed by most of his neighbours . These houses are the property of Mr . Walter , apothecary , Bridge-street , Stookport . The neighbours say the breaking of windows and furniture commenced about nine o ' clock at night , but that there had been a disturbance

in the street at seven . Descendiug further down the street than this row of hou . es ( which is near to St . Peter ' s Church SuBday School ) , is a row of houses three stories high iu front and two behind-the houses bein >» built with their backs to tho hill-side . The first is John _O'Donoghue ' s . Tho entrance to the back is a confined court called Jacob ' s _Ladder-yard , and bv getting on a wall in this yard the mob succeeded in removing a quantity of bricks , and entered an upper room of O'Donoghue s house , m which a Mrs . Ann Bradley was lying , having only a week before been confined of a child . , Dsregarding the poor woman ' s weak and sick condition , the ruffians broke and destroyed everything in the house . They even dostroyed the roof over her bead , allowing tho debris to fall upon her . The husband
seined one of his children , and escaped from one ofthe windows . Tho furniture was destroyed and the house gutted . Tho poor woman Bradley has been removed to a wretched coleholo , the only inhabitable part of the building . The next house , that of Thomas Dtigan , shared a like fate . It is a lodging-house , and the owner ' says five of eight beds were engaged , and amongst the mon in them were Michael Burke , Barny Kelly , and another , only known by the name of John , with an old man on tramp . He says all these parties were pulled out of bed , and beaten , and are now among tbo prisoners in tbe hands of tho police . Every article of furniture in the house is destroyed , as well as the windows . A house in Jacob's Ladder-yard was occupied by a hawker
named John Tracy . He and his wife , with four children , were in the house when it was attacked , but escaped . Tracy ran into a neighbour ' s house , and was secreted in a coal cellar , while the rioters were hunting for him . His furniture and every valuable he had were destroyed by the mob . Tho furniture and windows ofa house occupied by a widow , named Tracy , and her married daughter and two children , were also ' destroyed . A man named King also had his house entered , and his furniture , and a quantity of mats which he had for sale , were entively destroyed . All these houses , and those of the neighbourhood " generally , are occupied hy Irish Roman Catholics , of the labouring class .
Ifc was whilst demolishing the windows and furniture of these houses that the signal was given by one of the leaders ofthe mob— " To the Catholic chapels ! " Immediately a considerable portion of tho mob rushed off to Edgeley Chapel , half a mile distant , and forcing an entrance they broke the altars , and carried out the furniture and pews , and heaped them in a pile before the house of the priest , who lives close by , the Rev . Randolph Frith . The mob completely destroyed everything in the chapel , and then attacked Mr . Frith ' s house . They carried the furniture of his house out of doors , and heaping it on thafc ofthe chapel , lighted it for a bonfire . It is said there could nofc havo been lo 3 s than 2 , 000 persons engaged in this disgraceful outrage , and they were only interrupted in their work of burning and destroying when the magistrates and the civil and military force arrived , by whom , however ,. they were readily dispersed . An organ , worth £ 400 , was broken to atoms , and the chapel and minister ' s bouse were reduced to a wreck—there is nothing left but the bare walls .
The Catholic chapel of Sfc . Michael , in the Park , Stockport , was attacked a little before eleven o ' clock at night . The mob first assailed it from tho back , which is iu Kelsonstreet , by breaking and destroying the largo east window over the altar . The rioters Boon afterwards went ' round to the doors in King-street and Princes-street , and , having demolished these and all the windows , _entered * the chapel itself . Ilere they destroyed everything . The altars , with candlesticks , images of our Saviour , tbe Virgin Mary , Sfc . Patrick , St . Peter , and St . Joseph , were broken to atoms . The pews were torn up from the floor and broken into mere stripB of wood and cast out of doors . There is a large gallery at the west end , and the pews and gallery were torn up from this , and . nothing but the floor remains . The organ was broken to fragments . Jfo pen can describe such a wreck of property . The magistracy , headed by the mayor and the civil force , and escorted by the military , arrived here and dispersed the mob about a quarter to twelvo o ' clock . Whilst the mob were attacking the chapel , a party of them went up to the house of the Rev . Robert Foster , M . A ., tlie priest , and were meditating an attack ,
when Mr . Higginbottam , a neighbour of Mr . Foster ' s , appealed to them to spare it , on the ground that it would nofc be Mr . Foster ' s property they would be destroying . Whilst he was remonstrating with them the civil and military force came up , and the house was saved . The Stockporfc Court-house presented an extraordinary scene on Wednesday morning . During the night ifc had been converted into a prison hospital , and at one end were penned up about 108 ruffianly looking fellows , upwards of sixty of whom were suffering from wounds received in the riot or in their encounters with . the police when taken into custody . One with a dislocated shoulder was yelling under the manipulation ofa surgeon , and another was _skrieking under the pain of handling a dislocated ankle ; others were writhing , moaning , and bleeding ; and as the surgeons moved to and fro amongst them dressing their wounds the place presented a singular picture . The man who had been killed was in the cellar underneath the Court * house .
One hundred and fourteen persons have been apprehended . _Nearly all those who were identified wero proved to have thrown stones , either into houses or out of thorn , The whole of those who wero identified were remanded till Friday .

NEWS FROM THE " DIGGINGS . " We extract the following graphic account of Barker ' s Creek "Diggings" from a letter in the " Hobart Town Gazette" : — Barker ' s Creek , Mount Alexander , "February 7 , 1852 . My dear Mr . , —Having a few minutes' leisure , I will , as far as possible , give you the news of this wonderful , but miserable place . In the first place I have been here for two months , I have worked like a 'brick , ' and my share of the gold in that period comes to little above half an ounce , which will convince you that' it is not all gold that glitters . ' My party have sunk eight holes and the result is ' nil . ' I perceive that hundreds are leaving Van Diemen ' s Land for this place , but if they knew as much as I do they would rather die than live here . . . . AH the people about me , and in fact all the diggers , have been and are suffering from dysentery and bad eyes ; I am one ofthe few who has escaped . The _oifal from the numerous butchers' establishments being exposed to the sun for a few days emits a most _deHg-itf-l odour , & w _ is , in my ¦ opinion , the principal cause of so much sickness , as well as eating the meat
before it is cold , bnt if you do not it will walk into the bush to graze . . . . . I am sick of this place , lam off to Ballarat on Monday In some ofthe places I have been at work others have been getting gold in large quantities , whilst I could not get a speck , r bought ft hole for . 30 s .. and whilst I went to get the money another person gave £ 2 for it and got 7 ibs . weight of gold out of it , which disgusted me j I can assure you there is a vast difference between handling a pick and a quill , it is only fit work for stonemasons and brickmakers . . . . I have heavdof two men who have been fortunate , one got apiece . lbs . weight , and the other ( as it is reported ) 271 bs , weight in a lump . ... Boots are from a ? 1 to 4 1 5 b , per pair ; maize , 13 s . per bushel ; and oats £ 1 , After being here a month or two , apcrsonwillbeableto appreciate the csraforts of Van Diemen ' s Land . I would not live in Port PbiHip if I could own it all ; the flies , heat , and dust would soon make a person accustomed to Van Diemen ' s Land climate a fit object for the Merri Creek establishment ' _mad-liouse ) . I often catch black fish ofa nfghtafter we knock off work , but they are setting scarce . You cannot have a bathe , as the creeks have too many leeches in them .
FBUE ' S CREEK ' DIGGINGS . ' Gold digging will be far less remunerative during the hot weather than in the wet season . A great deal of time must be lost in prospecting , and consequent expense will follow , colds , _sickne _. s . and dysentery prevails ; blight is very prevalent : hundreds may be seen with their eyes bunged up , ns though they had been engaged in a boxing match ; myriads of flies tease you , thousands of musqultoes eting you , and clouds of du _. t choke you , the sun frizzles , and the hot winds bake you . Itis di ink , drink , from morn to night , and there is no appeasing one ' s thirst . Sleep is the only 6 olace left , and the morn finds you in a _perspirat / _en preparatory to another day ' s cooking . I would advise parties to remain at home for the present . Occupation in town is farpreferable at this season to gold digging and those who will attempt digging , back their health against wealth . Ballarat is deserted now , but I prophesy that the approaching winter will see it occupied again with a teeming population , the whole of the ranges round lhat favoured spot must and will be worked , and I fee ] confident that they will be worked profitably . The yield here is very uncertain , and many ofthe statements of quantities are mere fables , but many are doing well . This evening there have been several _moredeparturen , our community is thinning fast , and many are returning to town —Geelong Advertiser .
HANGING ROCK ' DIGGING .. ' We are happy to learn , from a gentleman just come down from Murrurundi , that the accounts from the Hanging Rock continued highly favourable . This gentleman had seen several small samples ofthegoldbvougbtbackbyprospecters , and from one young man he bought , for £ 51 $ oz . of gold , obtained by the young man and a companion with tin dishes in three days ; From this young man , just come over from the Turon , and from other parties well known to him , somo of whom had been at the Turon , our informant learnt that the prospectors at tho Hanging Rock , both on the creek and on the ridge ofthe bank , had every reason to be satisfied with their success . In fact , so satisfied were all the parties who had been there , that they only returned to obtain cradles and other tools to set to digging in good earnest . According to their belief , from 150 to 200 persons were on tho ground , mostly prospecting about with tin dishes , & c . Great numbers of cradles , & c , were being made in Murrurundi and the other townships . about there , and numbers of persons were on their way to the Hanging Rock . —ifaittand Mercury

Royal Polytechnic Institution. Among Tho...
ROYAL POLYTECHNIC _INSTITUTION . Among tho many public amusements of tho metropolis there is no one more deserving the public support than the Polytechnic Institution . There instruction is blended with amusement , while all is of a character elevating and ennobling . Thelovers of" sweet sounds" will have the gratification of music , and the scientific will have ample food for their larger intellect in the many interesting mode !? , & c , which the institution contains . Tho new gas , which formed the subject of thc chemical leoture the night we were present , is something more than usually interesting . Ifc is proposed by this gas , which has been patented , entirely to do a < _ray with coal as fuel . Tho gas is procured from the chemical decomposition of water , and therefore called water gas . It would causo no smoke
or dust , so that was ifc nniversall y used , we would again have in our large towns a purer , and therefore a healthier atmosphere . The gas is conducted into the grate by means of a pipe , witb several jets opening into the bottom of the grate , above which is placed the " material . " This material consists of pieces of fire-brick wrapped in thin sheets of any metal—the lecturer recommends platinum fire , as being mde 3 tructable , though somewhat dear in tho first instance . The gas fire may bo regulated or extinguished a pleasure without ]! any trouble or inconvenience , a very important consideration in our changeable climate . Tha gas would also be much less costly than coal . But we beg our readers to judge for themselves of the merits of this new invention by paying a visit to the Polytechnic , where they will see the fire , and hear explained all tbe operata in connexion with it .
Royal Loudon Yacht Club;—On Saturday The...
Royal Loudon Yacht Club ;—On Saturday the London Yacht Club held out as the prize for their second race this season apbtse containing forty sovereigns , to be sailed to from Erith round a boat moored off Southend and back to Erith again . The morning of Saturday—as seems this year to be the rule whenever racing is concerned—broke very gloomily , and was ushered in by a cloudy sky , and a steady unwearing rain , which continued till abont half-past nine . Hope must have been sorely tried that _niominp _, and in many breasts found wanting , for at a quarter-past nine , the appointed time of leaving London-bridge , the company was very small ; but , as the Meteor steamer _remainsd till Un , when the weather had assumed a less hostile appearance , a few more stragglers were added , and as she called at Blackwall , by which time the sun was out , more dropped in , and formed altogether a pretty good gathering . Arrived __ at Erith , the candidates lor the golden prize were found lying at their moorings , and drawn up in the following order , beginning from the north bank of the river * . —¦
Tone . Owner . Mouse 15 Mr . G . E . Browne . Phantom 20 Mr . S . Lane . Zuleika 20 Mr . Morris King . Secret 25 Mr . R . Bell . "Whisper 39 Mr . T . Eveleigh . Vampire 15 Mr . C . Wheeler . All being ready , the signal-gun for starting was fired at five minutes to twelve o ' clock , and they all went about 3 d excellent order and very skilfully . At starting the Secret was last , but afterwards rallied , and took the lead . There were one or two _threateninga of rain , but it passed over , and the race was won in a bright sunBbine by the Secret . The second boat was allowed 510 to defray expenses , which was gained by the Zuleika , aBd which the Phantom lost by a minute ; and the Vampire and the Mouse were within the same time as fifth and sixth ; so that the race throughout was very interesting , and well contested .
