At A Business Meeting Of The Executive C...
At a business meeting of the Executive Committee ofthe above Association , on Tuesday , the 29 th ult ., G . A . Fleming , Esq ., in the 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 , personall y , the Trade 3 bodies which unitedly constitute the _National Association , to lay before the members , specially convened for the occasion , the exact position of the Association , acd to take their opinions whether the great principle ofa National Protective Confederation should be maintained or abandoned .
The Executive Committee had determined npon thia step , in consequence of the secession of several of ( be branches , and of the doubts expressed by some Eiall in connexion with the Association , whether , considering the results of the recent prosecutions , and the lamentable failure and subsequent abandonment ofthe principle of Protective Union , by the Amalgamated Engineers , it was possible for that principle to he nationally sustained . It may he hero necessary to state that tbe Committee , with a seven years ' practical experience of the 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 formerl y connected with it—are deeply impressed with the " -value and importance of this principle to the Trades of this conntry—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 tho protection of their only capital—their Labour . They came to tbis determination after long and mature deliberation . 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 crude
attempts recently and still making , in different quarters , to construct new organisations upon the same principle , and knowing the difficulties they have bad to contend with and have overcome , they were , and still are , justified in antici pating that many , amV perhap 3 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 bave 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 themselves for tbe maintenance of the existing organisation as a nucleus and rall ying point for the trades of Great Britain .
Itwas _infutherance of these views , therefore , that Mr . Green ' s mission was projected ; and they feel great pride and pleasure , to find tbat their opinions and policy have the hearty sympathy and unanimous concurrence of the members of the Association . Without one single exception , or , as we can learn , an individual dissent , it is determined to maintain the National Association . Its present officers have been also unanimousl y reelected for the ensuing year . The trades still belongirg to the Association have resumed their regular payments , and such a 3 were in arrears have
determined to pay them off forthwith , and a considerable portion of these arrears have been already received . In adition to this very satisfactory position , and as the crowning success fo Mr . Green ' s exertions , an adhesion of five hundred new members have been added to the Association . It is almost superfluous to add , that stimulated by this generous confidence , placed in them by their constituents , tbe committee will proceed immediately with a vigorous ag itation in town and conntry , and invite the trades to affirm or negative the claims of ibis 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 he 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 tbat the question of joining the National Association had been long nnder 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 tbe principles and objects of the Assooiation . We regret to say that our deputation waB 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 , but we venture respectfully to observe , that if any of theso gentlemen hold opinions hostile to the objects | and principles of the National Association , it- is just possible that those opinions may have been founded upon prejudice , arising from misapprehension or misrepresentation , And that the more liberal and rational course would have been to subject their- opinions and prejudices to tbe ordeal of a fair and dispassionate discussion ; and iu this case
such a course seems to us 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 temporarily 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 be communicated with by the Trades of that locality . W . _Pjsel , Secretary . June 30 th 1 & 52 .
Bradford.—Important Meeting Of Woolcombe...
BRADFORD . —IMPORTANT MEETING OF _WOOLCOMBERS . The most business like and important meeting of this body which has been held for some years took place of Monday last . The assemblage first took place in Broom , fields , and afterwards , for the better transaction of business , adjourned to the large room of the " Old House at Home , " which was densely crowded . Mr . R . Whiiiakeb was unanimously called to tbe chairand addressed the meeting on the important business they had met to discuss . He trusted that they wonld conduct the proceedings ia an orderly manner ; and , after exphining the preliminary steps which had been taken , informed themtbatothef well-known parties had propositions to make which would brine the business more prominently before them .
Mr . G . "White addressed the meeting at considerable length . He said tbat the condition of the Yfoolcombers of Bradford was such that it became imperativelv necessary to adopt measures to rescue themselves from " its _degrading effects . They had met to try a final experiment , not , as in former days , to propose a strike , but to adopt measures to raise themselves from the position into wbich the orach vaunted " Commercial system" had placed them . It entirely depended on their conduct that day whether that meeting would prove useful or ortherwise , as an entirely new course of proceeding was about to be proposed to them . In former days , when grievances existed , ( hey had recourse to strikes ; now , however , that system was utterly useless . They
were told that their labour was superseded by machinery , and yet the men v * ho made tbe statement had , of late years , encouraged an overwhelming influx of hands to the trade , thu 3 laving tbe sure foundation of a frightful amonnt of pauperism" It therefore became a question for the ratepayers at large , whether they also were not interested in tte matter I He would not dwell on the question , whether the present low state of wages was caused by improved maciuaeiry , but come at once to the conclusion , that their _aoour either was required , or it waa not . In order , to _ColanSrt tbia . wmM advise the election of a Judicious view with * «[ w t , usineBS should be to procure an interweu-lnown _^ . l tttfactttref 3 on tLc subject .

Bradford.—Important Meeting Of Woolcombe...
hand as there wag ten years ago , but , as the trade had greatly increased , it was used as an assistant to machinecombed work , and , as far as he was concerned , he was for giving it up wholly to the machines , rather than be mocked by the present apology for wages . ( Loud cheers . ) n the manufacturers maintained that their machines were capable of doing their work , let them { the workmen ) then demand the means to emigrate to Australia , where their labour was required , and let them appeal to the manufacturers , merchants , and rate-payers , to assist them . Above all _thin-s it 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 : — . han < i M there wag ten years ago , but , as the trade bad
_Thewoolcombers of Bradford aad its vicinity having been at _lencm reduced to the lowest point of endurance , by causes over which tliey hare no control , are necessitated to make a final e'tort to deliver themselves from thc state of scmi-paupensm to wljell they are subjected . They feel that tto present is tbe mo _«« " _» _£ time to lay tbeir condition before the public , in o _^ _e'flii * _aZe nT A maybe devised , so as to produce a timely check to _» e flood « _pauperism-vhich must inevitably befal this torn J ** " ™*™" bores _xxs , as the primary sufferers , to look tbe evilCuriam the face . At the same time we feel tbat tbe ratepayers at large have a . deep mt < rest in the satisfactory arrangement of tbis lamentable state ot things , as they will bave to suffer in a secondary _degree , _wrwisn payment of increased poor rates . We do not desire lo blink the question . Either cur services are requisite , or they are not . it they are , we ought tobe remunerated . If they are not , and tliat machinery is capable of performing our work—better ana cheaperthea may we say with the immortal Shakespeare
' Othello ' s occupation ' s goue ; . and , in that case , have a fair claim ou ihe resources winch exist for the transfer of the ' surplus labour' of the country to other scenes of active industry , rather than vegetate in degrading poverty , and become a burthen to the public in the prime of our manhood . , That the worsted trade is , at present , in a fair , and eveu prospc _rous condition , few will deny . That the trade bas increased of late years to an enormous extent , is beyond question-as proved by Hie number of large mills and princel y warehouses lately erected . _Reasoning fey analogy , ire ought to suppose that this sunshine of pTo _*& pervvy outfit to have shea afew of ita _ravs on those who , by themselves and fami ies forming the chief portion of the population , have been the foundation and mainstay of this prosperity . But the reverse is the case , as our wages have declined in proportion to the increased demand for worsted goods , and now we are told to depart , by those who bave grown wealthy by our labour . results
We are told that this state of things Irom improved machinery , which performs our work better and cheaper . We deny it ! We deny that any machinery yet invented is capable of doing our work . Ask the overlookers in the various mills , whereboth s rts of work are daily spun , and they will tell you that the produce of the machines is a wretched _apolojry for our work , and that they ara compelled to mix our work with it in order to give it the necessarv draft and tension , the yam being afterwards foisted on the public _' ns the genuine article produced by hand labour . Ttiat they make an imitation , we admit , in the same manner as the * shoddy ' men grind up old rajjs , and make tliem iuto a resemblance of cloth , but there the similitude ends . The markets are inundated with such flimsy goods , made from cotton warps and 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 , it tbe spurious goods ' take the market , ' as tbey may do for a time , it will not do for thousands of meu to drag out a miserable existence whilst waiting for a revulsion .
Our course is clear . If thi mass of us are not required , then we appeal to the _jiisti ; e of thc manufacturers and merchants to enable the able-bodied lo 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 us their support and co-operation in endeavouring , at this auspicious time , to remove the main source of pauperism from the town . The address was seconded by Mr . 0 . Thorn , aud unanimously adopted . Mr . P . Dillox , an old and active member of the body , then read a lengthy and eloquent address to the Woolcombers , in which their past sufferings and present duties were pointed out in a clear and comprehensive manner . This address was also agreed to .
Mr . T . _Sptinn , former treasurer of the Woolcombers , next addressed the meeting on the necessity of union and good feeling . Mr . J . Smith proposed that 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 , that the committee should consist of fifteen persons . Twenty-four persons were then nominated , out of which the following were elected 'John Smith , Patrick Dillon , George White , Matthew Urowett , Maurice Moloney , Samuel Kelly , James Thomas , John Parrott , James Richards , John Clayton , William Stott , Joseph 2 vevin , John _Raynard ,- Barnaby Holland , Thomas Leman . Mr . J . Emmett was then elected treasurer , the remaining offices being left to tbe 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 thia 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 the transaction of some preliminary business , the following were elected by ballot a 3 a select committee '—George White , Patrick Dillon , Matthew Wade Browett , Thomas Leman , Barnaby Holland , James Thomas , William Stott . The Committee then resolved to meet each evening from eight to ten o ' clock , when aU parties requiring cards of membership , or having other business to transact , are requested to attend .
Condition Of The Framework Knitters Of H...
_CONDITION OF THE FRAMEWORK KNITTERS OF HINCKLEY . The miserable condition of the Framework Knitters of Hinckley was well known many years since in almost all parts of England . The privations they have endured , and the patience they have displayed in their sufferings , have excited the wonder and admiration of many of tlie higher classes in the surrounding districts . About eight years ago a Mr . _Muggriuge , Government Commissioner , came to inquire into the condition of the Framework Knitters , when it was stated by the manufacturers that " the average earnings of the Framework Knitters was from 5 s 6 d . per week . " Thi 3 statement included the wages of men , women , and minors . 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 tbeir 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 . 2 fo class of workmen in the country has tried to keep up wages more thau the Framework Knitters of Hinckley . Trades' Unions hare been numerous , and strike has followed strike in quick succession , yet wages are lower now than they have ever been . I do not say that Trades ' Unions have not been of service . They have 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 fonr hose at once . These formed what is'called the straight-hose-branch . This sort of goods were sold _cheip ; the demand for them _increased , 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 tbe town , is fast sinking into insignificance . At the present time tbe _earnings of those employed in the straight down hose branch , making two , three , and four at once , manage from Os . to Ss . per week . Those who are engaged in the wrought hoso branch ( making one at a time ) , earn from 5 s . to 7 s . per week . I know men in Hinckley—hard working men toowho cannot earn more than 5 s . per week .
And this is the condition of working men in 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 and glory , but the very existence of society depends . They must work , suffer , and die , uncared for . Ob , 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 that position in society , which , as the producers of all wealth , we ought to occupy . g Hinckley , June 2 Sth .

The " bayonet" tells us tbat it was first made at Bayonne ; " cambrics" that they came from Cambray ; "da mask" from Damascus ; " arras" from the city of the same name ; " eordwain" from Cordova ; " currants" from Corinth ; the " guinea" thatit 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 tho East yet the words give standing witness that we once imported them from thence ; for , " calico" i 3 from Calcut , and « muslin" from _Mossul , a city in Asiatic Turkev .

Fatal Riot In Stockport, One Man Killed ...
FATAL RIOT IN STOCKPORT , ONE MAN KILLED _InD SIX TY WOUNDED _^ _^;^ T _^ _Tx-ro'rnir ' gPnRT . FATAL RIOT IN b lU _^ i v _» _-i .
THE MILITARY CALLED OUT . Sunday last was the anniversary of the usual procession of all the Roman Catholic scholars connected with the three chapels in Stockport . The recent royal proclamation against Roman Catholic processions was much _diseussed and the Irish Orangemen and other _?™ tef /» f' f "fg and Irish , contended that the procession ought not to be al The proeeSSion _, however , did take phjjj _^ _Sunday afternoon , and , on the whole , passed off _9 »' et { _' / tr ™ about two o ' clock from the Catholic * chapel at Edgeley which is a suburb of the town near the railway st Hon , and proceeded down Edward-street , across the Wat . _erloo-road , down Churchgate and Park-street , _th ™« g _^ arien-stree _^ up _Ileaton-lane , up the Wellington-road , South . ¦ » nd » «• turning again to the Roman Catholic chapel , Edge ey . The procession was headed by the priests , and a numbei of Irish _labmirfis .. ikin . r sir n . hn > ast : then came the numerous boys
and girls in th ? Sundav and day schools . Theie were no banners in the procession ; the priests did not _^ canonical vestments , hut appeared in ordinary attire , even the girls' handkerchiefs or vests , which they usuall y wore on these _occasions , were laid aside ; and they only wore white frocks , and little crosses suspended round the neck by ribbons . The onlv badges or symbols that mu * ht be supposed to contravene the proclamation were a ball and crow , and a gilt dove . As we have said , the procession _mssea along its course , withont the slishlest disturbance , beyond occasional groans and hisses from zealous Protestants , and they finally dispersed without any breach of the peace ot winch we have heard . .. „
In thecourse of Monday evening , one of the police-officers reported at the police-office , that a number of English and Irish were fighting ; 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 Hillgate , one of the principal thoroughfares , information of its continuance and increase was despatched to the police-office , and Mr . Sadler , who had previously sent twonr three officers , proceeded to the spot himself at the head of a body of firemen ; but on reaching the place tliey found the mob disperse- ! and everything apparently quiet . _Puring the remainder of the evening , and throughout the night , all continued tranquil ; there was no renewal of the disturbance in any part of the borough . During the whole of Tuesday everything remained _tranancnaei
quil ; but tho Rev . Mr . Porster , priest ot bt . s Roman Catholic chapel , in thc Park , called on Mr . Sadler , and stated that there appeared to be considerable angry feeling on the part of the Irish Catholics , and that ho was apprehensive that thev would assemble in tho evening in considerable numbers in the locality commonly known in Stockport as Bomber ' s Brow ( or Garnett-street . ) Under these circumstances Mr . Sadler proceeded to take such precautions as he thought advisable . He sent three or four of his officers into the Hill ? ate , to observe whether there were any signs of assembling ; and about a quarter before eisht o ' clock on Tuesday evening , ono of these officers , named John Leigh , sent a verbal message to tho policeoffice , by Mr . Charles Brown , agent , & c , to the effect that all was perfectly quiet , and that there wore no indications of any unusual assembling . 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 _Cburt-house , _Vernon-street ) that very suddenly considerable numbers English and Irish had simultaneously made t eir appearance in Hillgate , 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 immediately got together some assistant constables , and was proceeding with thorn to the spot , when information , reached him that the rioters had been driven back by the police and others from Hillgate , and that a considerable number of Irish had gone in tho direction of High-street , whieh leads to a neighbourhood principally inhabited by them , and known as Rook Row , Petty Carr , Carr Green , & c . On learning this , Mr .
Sadler , at tbe bead of his small staff of assistant constables , proceeded along _Undorbank , down Oheetergate , 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 ono 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 , iie ., on the police . However , the small force under Mr . Sadler ' s command , succeeded iu driving back and dispersing their assailants , many
of whom rushed into the " houses ; some of them being captured and conveyed to tho police-office ; . and ultimately , comparative quiet and peace being restored , Mr . Sadler sent for the mayor and magistrates , who called out the military . Then the magistrates , with the police , a number of special constables ( just before sworn in for the occasion by the magistrates ) , ' and the troops proceeded down Chestergate to Rook Row , and Petty Carr . There tbey 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 tho large Catholie chapel completely sacked and gutted , and the priest ' s house pretty nearly in the same condition . The rioters here had brought the furniture , & c , out of the chapel and the residence , piled it 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 Roman Catholic Chapel , in tho Park ( near the Court-house ) , had broken the 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 large iron safe , supposed to contain several articles of silver used in the services of the ohapel . With the aid of the police , quiet 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 to the Court-house . Many of these were severely wounded , and from four o ' olock in the morning till noon , four medical men were more or less engaged in dressing their wounds and hurls .
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 which the events occurred . After the police had dispersed the mob in the _Hillcate , 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 somo way incurred the hatred of the Roman Catholics . They assailed this house with 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 suffered considerable injury in the
lower windows _^ The mob then turned tbeir attack upon the Sunday school connected with St . James ' s Church _, which stands opposite to Mr . Graham ' s houso , on the other side of the square , and they had broken some of the windows in the 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 Catholic chapel and priest ' s house there , and thence to St . Michael ' s Catholio chapel in the Park , which they also sacked , as already stated . Here tbe 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 bas 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 ef age , who was 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 he 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 .
It was after midnight before the disturbance was quelled . St . Peter ' s Protestant School does not appear to have suffered much , but a good many squares of glass have been smashed ; and ao there have in Mr . Graham's house . But the houses of the Irish Catholics , in Rack Row , are a wreck . 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 _riotersj next took the houses in Rock Row . The first was occupied by a man named _Shaughnessy , and the windows , and frames and doors , are
entirely gone , and there is not an article of furniture left . The second house was occupied by the deceased , Darby Searle . The neighbours say he was in the Louse when the riot _coemenccd , and that after breaking his windows tbey attacked and forced open tho door ; that he resisted them , but was dragged out , overpowered , and received the fatal blow which killed him . Tho house is completely gutted ; windows , doors , furniture—everything was destroyed . Tho third house is Wm . Riley ' s , and this has heen completely gutted . The rioters could not break open one door , but it is marked in dozens of places with the indentations ofa hammer head . The fourth house is that of Timothy Finnigan . Tho window shutter was 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 were chiefly _stufied _, blowing about the streets on Wednesday in olouds . The fifth house is that of Michael Tully , a widower , with two _bohs and two daughters . The rioters smashed the furniture of this house to atoms , including a clock and some chairs and tables of a better kind 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 hsA been a _di-jtwhariCO
Fatal Riot In Stockport, One Man Killed ...
in the street at seven . Dcscendiug further down the street than this row of houses ( wbich is near to St Peter ' s Church Sunday School ) , is a row of houses three stories high in front and two behind-the houses beine built with their backs to the hill-side . The first is John O'Donoghue ' s . Tho entrance to the back is a confined court called Jacob ' s _Ladder-yard and by 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 , in which a Mrs . Ann Bradley was lying , having only a week before been confined of a child . Disregarding the poor woman ' s weak and sick condition , the ruffians broke and destroyed everything in the house . They even destroyed the roof over her head , allowing the dobris to fall upon her . The husband _seiied ono of h ' 13 children , and escaped from one of the windows . The furniture was destroyed and the house gutted . The poor woman Bradley has beon removed to a wretched _colebole , the only inhabitable part ofthe building . The next house , that of Thomas Dugan , shared a like fate . in the street nt seven ' Do 8 « endmii further down the gtreet tb th f h ( wbjch . ___^ _^
It is a lodging-house , and the owner says five of _eight beds were engaged , and amongst the mea in them wero 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 tho prisoners in the hands of the police . Every article of furniture in the houso is destroyed , as well as the windows . A houso 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 , wero 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 entirely destroyed . All these houses , and those of the neighbourhood [ generally , ara occupied hy Irish Roman Catholics , of the labouring class .
It wa 3 whilst demolishing the windows and furniture of tliese houses that the signal was given by one of the leaders of tho 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 cavried out the furniture and pews , and heaped them in a pile before the house of tbo priest , who lives closo by , the Rev . Randolph Frith . The mob completely destroyed everything in the ohapel , and then attacked Mr . Frith _' _s house . They carried the furniture of his house out of doors , and heaping it on that of tho ohapel , lighted it for a bonfire . It is said there could not have been less than 2 , 000 person . ? engaged in this disgraceful outrage , and they wero 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 house were reduced to a wreck—there is nothing left but the bare walls . The Catholic chapel of St . Michael , in the Park , Stockport , waa attacked a little before eleven o ' clock at night . Tho mob first assailed it from the back , which is iu Kelsonstreet , by breaking and destroying the largo east window over the altar . The rioters soon afterwards went ' round to tho doors in King-street and Princes-street , and , having demolished these and all the windows , entered the chapel _itaolf . Here they destroyed everything . The altars , with candlesticks , images of our Saviour , tbo Virgin Mary , St . Patrick , St . Peter , and St . Joseph , were broken to atoms . The pews were torn up from the floor and broken into mere strips of wood and cast out of doors . There is a largo gallery at the west end , and the pews and gallery were torn
up fron > this , and nothing but the floor remains . The organ was broken to fragments . So 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 twelve o ' clock . Whilst thc mob were attacking the chapel , a party of them went up to the house of the Rev . Robert Foster , M . A ., the 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 not be Mr . Foster ' s property they would be destroying . Whilst he w _' as remonstrating with them the civil and military force came up , and the house was saved ,
The Stockport Court-house presented an extraordinary scene on Wednesday morning . During the night it had been converted into a prison hospital , and at one end were penned up about 10 S ruffianly looking fellows , upwards of sixty of whom were suffering from wounds received in the riot or in their encounters with the polioe when taken into custody . One with a dislocated shoulder was yelling under the manipulation of a 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 tho place presented a singular picture . The man who had been killed was in the cellar underneath the
Courthouse . One hundred and fourteen persons have been apprehended . Nearly all thoso who were identified were proved to have thrown stones , either into bouses or out of them . Tho whole of those who were 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 , 1 S 52 . 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 tivo months , I have worked like a 'brick , ' and my share of the gold iu that period comes to little above half an ounco , which will convince you that' it is not all gold tliat clitters . ' My party have sunk eight holes and the result ia' 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 tbe _diggei-B , have been and are suffering from dysentery and bad eyes ; I am one of the few who has escaped . The offal from the numerous butchers' establishments being exposed to the sun for a few days emits a most delightful odour , and is , in my opinion , tbe principal cause of so much sickness , as well as eatinir tho meat
before it is cold , but if you do not it will walk into the bush to graze . . . . . I am sick of this place , I am off to Ballarat on Mondfly . In some oftbe places I bave been at work others have been getting gold in large quantities , whilst I could not get a speck . I bought a hole for 30 s ., aud whilst I went to get the money another person gave £ 1 for it and got 71 bs . weight of gold out of it , which disgusted me ; I can assure you there ir a vast difference between handling a pick and a quill , it is only fit work for stonemasons and brickmakers . . . . I have beard of two men who have been fortunate , one got a piece 41 bs , weight , and tbe other ( as itis reported ) 271 _bs . weight in a lump . . . . Boots are from _£ 1 to £ 15 s . per pair ; maize , 13 s . per bushel ; and oats £ 1 . After being here a month or two _. apersonwillbeableto appreciate the _csmforts of Yan Diemen ' s Land . I would not live in Port Phillip 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-house ) , I often catch black fish ofa _nightafter we knock off work , but tbey are getting scarce . You cannot have a bathe , as the creeks havo too many leeches in them .
_TMAH ' S CBEEK * _EIGGISG 3 . ' Gold digging will be far less remunerative during tlie hot weather than in the wet season . A great deal of time must be lost in pros _, pecting , and consequent expense will follow , colds , sickness and dysentery prevails ; blight is very prevalent : hundreds may be seen with their eyes bunged up , as though they had been engaged in a boxing match j myriads of flies tease you , thousands of musquitoes sting you , and clouds of dust choke you , the sun _frizales _, and the hot winds bake you . Itis di ink , drink , from morn to night , and there te no appeasing one ' s thirst . Sleep is the only solace left , and the morn finds you in a _perspu-atieu preparatory to another day ' s cooking . I would advise parties to remain at home for the present . Occupation in town is far preferable at this season to gold digging , and tbose wbo 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 that favoured spot must and will be worked , and I feel confident that they will be worked profitably . The yield here is very uncertain , and many of the statements of quantities _^ are mere fable * , but many are doing well . This evening there have been several more departures , our communitv is thinning fast , and many are returning to town —Geelonn Advertiser .
HANGING BOCK ' DICGIN 03 , ' We are happy to leurn _, from a gentleman just coire down from Murrurundi , that the accounts from the Hanging Rock continued highly favourable . This gentleman had seen several small samples of the gold brought back by prospecters _, and from one young man be bought , for £ 51 J _oz . of gold , obtained by tbe young man and a companion with tin dishes in three days . Prom this _)* oung man , just come over from the Turon , and from other parties well kuown to him , some of whom had been at the Turon , our informant learnt that theprospecterB at the Hanging ltock , both on tbe creek and on the ridge of the bank , had every reason to be satisfied with their success . In fact , so satisfied were all tbe parties uno bad been there , that they only returned to obtain cradles and other tools to set to digging in good earnest . According to tbeir belief , from 150 to 200 persons were on the 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 . _—ifoitland Mercury ,

The new gag , which formed the subject of thc chemical lecture tho night we were present , is something mora than usually interesting . It is proposed by this gas , which has been patented , entirely to do _away with eoal as fuel . Tha gas is procured from the chemical decomposition of water , and therefore called water gas . It would cause no smoke or dust , so that was it universall y used , wo would again havo in our _lar-je towns a purer , and therefore a healthier atmosphere . The gas is conducted into the grato by means of a pipe , with several jets opening into the bottom of the grate , above tibich 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 indestructable , though somewhat dear in the first ; instance . The gas fire may bo regulated or extinguished a pleasure without 3 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 tbis new invention by paying a visit to-the Polytechnic , where they will see the fire , and hear explained all the operata ia connexion with it .
Royal London Yacht Club*.—On Saturday Tb...
Royal London Yacht Club * . —On Saturday tbe London Yacht Club held out as the prize for their second race this season a purse containing forty sovereigns , to be sailed lot from Erith round a boat moored off Southend and back to Etith again . The morning of Saturday—as seems thisyt « to be the rule whenever racing ib concerned—broke very gloomily , and was ushered in by a cloudy sky , and a steady unwearing rain , which continued till about half-past nine . Hope must have been sorely tried that morning , and in many breasts found wanting , for at a quarter-past nine , tae appointed time of leaving London-bridge , the company _^ very small ; but , as the Meteor steamer remained till _tfti when the weather had assumed a less hostile appearance , « few more stragglers were added , and as she called at Black * wall , by wh'ch time the sun was out , more dropped in , ana formed altogether a pretty good gathering . Arrived at Erith , tho candidates for the golden prize were found Ipl at their moorings , and drawn up in the following order , if ginning from the north bank of the rirer : —
Tons . Owner . Mouse 15 Mr . G . E . Browne , Phantom 20 Mr . s . lane . Zuleika 20 Mr . Morris King . Secret 25 Mr , K . Bell . Whisper 10 Mr . T . Eveleigh . Vampire 15 Mr . C . Wheeler . All being ready , the signal-gun for starting was fired at lirt minutes to twelve o ' clock , and they ail went about in excellent order and very skilfully . At starting the Secret _« s last , but afterwards rallied , and took the lead . There _ti _^ one or two threatenings of rain , but it passed over , and tw race was wou in a bright sunshine by the Secret . The secoc' j boat was allowed £ 10 to defray expenses , which was gained _, by the Zuleika , and which the Phantom lost by a minute ; ana the Vampire and the Mouse were within the same time as fifth and sixth ; so that the race throughout was very ii _" ' resting , and well contested .
