some persons in the house fired and wounded several, some severely, one of whom has since died. The men, however, proceeded to the works, stopped the blast at the furnaces, and being joined by many others, went to Pendaran and Merthyr, where they did the same, and remained there all night (Thursday). On Friday, they returned by Tredegar and Sirhowy, and inquired minutely at the houses for all the workmen, and for bread and cheese, which was served out to them from the shops of the proprietors. Their numbers being increased to several thousands, they proceeded over the hills to Beaufort works, where they asked, the men if they were satisfied with their wages and employers, to which the men replied in the affirmative. Their wages were low, they said, but their masters kind, and used them well in the shops. On this the others gave them three cheers, and departed for Ebbw vale, the works of Messrs. Harfords; here a few joined them the blast going to the furnaces was, however, stopped, but no violence offered to the proprietors. From thence they proceeded to Blanavon (Messrs. Hill and Co.). Mr. Hill endeavoured to prevent them from doing any mischief to the works, by reasoning with them, and offering temporary relief their reply was, they wanted food; that wages were not sufficient to support them and their families, and they wished to be sent home to their parishes. Here they were supplied with bread and cheese, and Mr. Hill commiserating their wants ordered them some beer, : but they refused to partake of it, saying, while they were sober they knew what they were doing; but if they should get intoxicated they might be guilty of what they might afterwards be sorry for. They remained there till night, and did no further injury than stopping the blast furnace. On Saturday morning they proceeded to Llanelly, and acted there in the same manner. They now came across the mountains towards the coal-works in the neighbourhood of Crundin, Newbridge, and Abercarne, with a view to learn the state of the men's minds there. Their numbers were increased now from 10 to 12,000; but as night came on they separated;. the military that came into Newport on Friday night were forwarded towards Merthyr on waggons and other vehicles, and arrived there on Saturday evening, but no violence has yet been offered on either side. The cavalry which went from Cardiff have been recalled, and such troops as have arrived since have been sent, up to the works, and a detachment to Pontypool; but at a late hour last night the men were still, assembled in different places, from 300 to 500 and more, together. Accounts have come from Pontypool to-day, that the military were, called up early this morning to proceed to Blanavon, where the men employed had shown symptoms of acting in concert with, those who had been there on Friday evening. This evening the accounts are, that they are chiefly among the collieries, that a troop of cavalry from Swansea is among them, but no violence offered on either side. Mr. Mr. Moggridge, and other gentlemen, have been among them since Saturday until this afternoon. Two or three from each colliery accompanied them down to Bassere village to a meeting of the Magistrates-what the result has been I have not learned. The Duke of Beaufort, as Lord Lieutenant of the County, and Lord C. Granville Somerset, are here, and a meeting is convened to take place to-morrow, at the King's Head Inn, in this town, of all the Magistrates in the neighbourhood, when some plan it is hoped will be devised to persuade the men quietly to resume their labour. Another Relation.-The latest accounts received on Saturday from Merthyr-Tydvil, in Glamorganshire, mention the continuance of restored tranquillity. According to private letters, the discontented are only kept in awe by the presence of the military. During the disturbances on the 19th instant, some of these misguided men were touched by the bayonet, which excited among them a salutary alarm, and has caused them to refrain from the repetition of their violence. It is also stated, that there is no immediate prospect of an effectual cure of the existing evils, unless circumstances change materially, as the men can scarcely find the means of subsistence at the present low rate of wages, which the masters cannot afford to in crease. It appears by letters from Newport, that a party of the Merthyr rioters had gone into Monmouthshire, with the intention of putting out the blast at the furnace at Blaenwen, and getting the work men there to join them. The men belonging to the iron-works, who refused to work on account of wages, endeavoured to seduce the workmen at the collieries, and other great places of employment. The colliers hesitated, but, according to one account, they have returned to their duty, and the collieries are again at work. Mr. Meyrick, solicitor to the Bench of Magistrates at Merthyr, has written to contradict the statement that the workmen had been reduced to the wages of 18. per day. None had less, he states, than 10s. per week; and the miners and colliers, who form the great body of workmen, had at least 15s. per week. The wages of the firemen, who also form a considerable body, average from 21s. to 25s. per week. The High Sheriff, Sir H. Protheroe, immediately circulated an address among the latter, urging them to return peaceably to their employment, and at the same time warning them against the fatal consequence of acting otherwise. This address is stated to have produced the most salutary effect. Being informed that the colliers had appointed a meeting on the 23d, before they could assemble in any great number, he arrived at the Rock, their place of rendezvous, with a detachment of the 55th regiment, and the Swansea yeomanry cavalry. The Deputy Sheriff immediately seized the ringleader, who was sent off to Monmouth. The High Sheriff and the Duke of Beaufort then addressed the mob, who, after a short time, quietly dispersed. On Sunday, the 22d, as some young men were nutting in the woods woods near the Old Upper Blue Bell, on the old road to Maidstone, they observed a female lying under a tree, apparently asleep, and passed on without disturbing her. On the succeeding Friday the young men again went gutting to the same place, when, to their extreme surprise, they saw the female lying in the precise place and attitude in which they had seen her before one of them went to her, and took her by the hand; she was alive, but in such a situation, as excited the most shuddering sensations of horror and disgust, mixed with surprise, that a human being could retain any portion of animation under such complicated sufferings of want and wretched ness. : She was almost in a state of putrefaction, large maggots were feeding on every part of her frame exposed to the attack of flies; her nostrils, and even her mouth, were infested by them; behind her ears, between her fingers, and between her toes, they were crawling in sickening quantities; and her clothes were literally rotten from long exposure to the varying and humid atmosphere. With a laudable alacrity they applied for assistance to the Blue Bell, and with the assistance of two men the unfortunate sufferer was placed upon a hurdle, and conveyed to an outhouse, where such necessaries and comforts as could be procured were immediately prepared for her. Mr. Browne, surgeon of Rochester, was sent for, and immediately came to visit her, and through his humane, kind, and constant attention, this unfortunate woman has been rescued from the jaws of death, and is now in a fair way of recovery. The account she gives of herself is, that her name is Ann Martin; she came from Lewes some time back with an artillery soldier to Chatham barracks, but that she had left him, and had determined on returning home to Lewes; that being destitute of money, and oppressed by fatigue, she, in a fit of despair, laid herself down to die; that she had lain where she was discovered ever since the Sunday preceding that on which she was first seen, and consequently had been eleven days and nights without any kind of food.-Kentish Gazette. 22. Conspiracy for Crimes.-A Jew, named Solomons, who has, on account of a deformity in one of his feet, been nicknamed Bubblefoot, forms one of the leading characters in this plot. This man was employed by several officers of the police to search for objects: he did not fix upon characters notoriously bad, because his own personal exertions and appearance were necessary, and as he had been more than once tried at the Old Bailey, those who have been under similar circumstances might have recognized an old acquaintance in him, and shunned or implicated him. He looked amongst the most wretched, but not the most abandoned, and selected his victims from amongst the Russians, the Maltese, the Germans, the Irish, as well as the English. His plan was to station himself somewhere in the neighbourhood of the Tower, and, when he saw a sailor who had spent all his money, or been robbed of it, he would, with pre tended tended humanity, give him a shilling, or in cases of extreme necessity a 3s. token. The first place to which his necessities would lead the wretch to whom this bounty was extended would be the baker's shop, or the eatinghouse, or the public-house; but as soon as the supposed value was tendered, a police officer started into his presence, seized the money, marked it, and handcuffed the poor creature that offered it. Upon being brought before a magistrate, the story was just such as is usually told, and no suspicion excited. In other instances this ingenious Jew, without pretending to be influenced by any compassionate motives, would merely propose to poor tattered sailors to purchase certain articles at a slop-shop, or marine stores warehouse, with a promise to give them a drink for their trouble. Upon proceeding to execute their commission, they were scented by the officer, who was sure to let them go just as far as was necessary to make them guilty in the eye of the law upon his testimony. The Lord Mayor, who has had for some time intelligence upon this subject, went, accompanied by Mr. Hobler, to Newgate on Sunday morning, and remained there till six o'clock in the afternoon, and took the depositions of eighteen persons, all of whom were fixed in their present situations through the instrumentality of the Jew. They were convicted of uttering bad money at the Old Bailey, some of them at the last April Session, others at the October Session of Jast year. The Bank presented the officers with the sum of 101. for each conviction. 23. An alarming fire broke out about half-past five o'clock at a warehouse in Bow Church-yard, occupied by Mr. Henderson, a job warehouse, which communicated to the upper part occupied by Messrs. Bell and Broderick, solicitors, which shortly consumed the same; as also the adjoining back warehouse, and damaged the house occupied by Mr. Meyrick, communicating to a large stack of warehouses of Mr. Harkness, an Irish factor, which consumed the same, and the whole of the immense stock of Irish linens. The spacious premises of Messrs. Stirl ing, Brothers, and Co. for a time, were threatened with inevitable destruction; but through the most prompt and persevering assistance of the firemen, and friends of Messrs. Stirling, at the risk of their lives, the premises have only sustained a partial damage, and the very extensive stock of not less than 200,000l. saved from the devouring element. The Lord Mayor attended in person, and was very active and useful. The several houses on the west side of Bow-lane, in the occupation of Messrs. Sadler, Sutton, Gore, Everingham, have sustained considerable damage, as also one of the windows of Bow-church, and the fire-ladders were consumed. The loss cannot be estimated at less than 40,0001., which is insured in the various offices. 23. Cambray.The review and grand manoeuvres took place yesterday in the plain of Denain. The ground was so soaked with the torrents of rain which fell during the two preceding days, that it was thought scarcely possible to defile the army. The Dukes of Kent and Cambridge were received by the Duke of Wellington at the head of the troops, who continued to mas nœuvre until five in the evening. After a grand dinner given by the Duke of Wellington, there was a ball, at which the two English Princes, remarkable for their affability, were seen sur rounded by the principal officers of the armies of occupation, and the most distinguished ladies of their nation. In the plain of Denain there is a monument erected in memory: of the victory that Marshal Vil lars gained over the Allies in 1712.. The Duke of Wellington, says the Journal de la Belgique, has ordered that this monument be scrupulously respected at the time of the review. 24. A wild boar, hunted in the forest of Limanton, department of Nievre, after having run six leagues from the place of attack, pressed by the hunters and dogs, and finding himself stopped by a garden fence, dashed into a house which was kept by an inn-keeper, and took shelter in a room where a traveller was quietly changing his shirt. The fright into which such a visit must have thrown him may easily be conceived; the house and the whole village were raised by the cries of the unfortunate traveller. The hunters, armed with guns, learning the retreat of the animal, came to the relief of the stranger, and, after an obstinate combat the boar was killed, without any accident to the human party. 25. An inquest was taken at the Red Lion inn, Hampton, before Mr. Stirling, Coroner for Middlesex, upon the view of the body of John Curtis (a groom), who died on Tuesday evening, the 22d inst. at the Red Lion, in consequence of receiving some violent blows on the same day in a pitched battle with Edward Turner, a leather-cleaner by trade. After examining witnesses, the Coroner addressed the jury at considerable length, and pointed out to them that it was their duty by their verdict to prevent, as much as possible, a recurrence of such an unlawful and disgraceful practice. Verdict-Manslaughter against Edward Turner. The Hon. Charles Noel, of Barham-court, in Kent, was lately convicted, on the information of the Earl of Romney, of the singular offence of having admitted persons in the neighbourhood, to the number of more than twenty, to attend divine service in his house with his family and domesties. The Act of Parliament for this offence is imperative, and Mr. Noel immediately paid the penalty, one half of which, after discharging the expenses of the prosecution, goes to the poor of the parish, and the other moiety to the informer!-Evening paper. 26. Edinburgh.-A very great number of people assembled on Sunday last at the parish church of Dysart, to hear the farewel sermon of the Rev. George Muirhead, now removed to Cramond. Long before the hour of service in the afternoon, the church was crowded, and a number of pas rishioners found it impossible to get into their seats. In the strugs gle |
