They are not all armed ; and , till they are « o , to provoke a physical reiiconire would be a height of madness , equal tr , if not greater than , that which appears to actuate the desperate , dying factions ; while , at the same time , their prudence ought to show them that partial , ineffective
outbreaksabortive galliw of impatience—tend only to accomplish the designs of their oppressors by furnijsbing them with a pretext for attempting to do that in England which they have already done in Ireland ; taking ; awny by legislative enactment the constitutional right of the people to have arms—to express their grievances—or to exist , otherwise than in the most perfect slavery . These outbreaki ? arc , ia fact , calculated to produce nothing but a Coercion Bill for England .
We shall be told that the English will bear no Coercion Biii—that , sooner th&n be thus trodden , like the wretched sons of Ireland , under the iron hoof of Whi gfeery , they would ravage their fair native plains with fire , and bid desolation rear its awful frcnt amidst a howling wilderness . ^ Yhe re tr » de and commerce , wealth and luxury , Had left their maa > iem > , halls , and castles , To lie down unclothed amid iho wild tornado ; > iin , on the barren heath to i > oek a home And resting place , with squalid misery . We know all this ; and it is because we desire not to see this feaifal s ; ate of things , that we thus auxi . ously and earnestly implore them not to do that which may put in operation the direct means of bringing it about .

The room was handsomely 2 eiorated , aad the productions of nature wrere arranged on tables placed lengthways , with a cross sable in front of the orchestra for the prize specimens . The only regret was that the room wa $ too > a » aU ; m fact , t . We was neither sufficient space for the company nor for the articles exhibited , which were so crowded together a * to spoil the effect . The siove
and greeu house plants of themselves wonld have been safficient for all the tables , and to hav « placed the fruit and vegetables in another apartmeat would ha * e greatly spoiled the exhibition . ? v Tr ° ° clocK » tn « company were admitted , and at n<-past th » chair was taken bj Jamei * Hoidforth , fc-sq ., mayor .

The committee for visiting tke workhouses brought in their report ; the principal points contained therein were as follow : —The report said that there were twelve workhouses in the Union , but only six could be selected out of them that would be of aDy use to the Union , for the accommodation of paupers : it gave a very favourable account of all the workhouses except that of
Tburstonland ; the report stated that it was a poor , miserable-looking building , only one story high , open to the ro 6 f , with very damp floors , sadly short of ventilation , and the beds in a very dirty and bad conditioa , and the paupers complained of their porridge being mp . de too thin . When the report was fiidshfd reading by the clerk , Mr . Hirst , the Guardian for Tnuri-tonlacd , rose to reply to the statement given i , n the report of their workhouse . He said that it was impossible that the floors could be damp , as there was a fall in the ground all round the house ; and as for being short of ventilation , he could Hot see h&w that could be : the house contained four rooms , having doors one into another , and , by their own admissioD , it was open to the roof . He was
certain the beds were in a better condition than maay of the rate-payers' teds in the townshi p , who had . to contribute te the support of those beds ; acd he was familiar with the paupers , who always declared they were content and comfortable . After Mr . Hir * t sat down there was a little altercation tcok place ob the subject , but of ho importance . It waa proposed and stcanded that the visiting committee was to engage some professional gentleman , who is experienced in building bastiles , to inspect the six workhouses above mentioned , and to t * timate the expense of making them eligible to accommodate 350 pauper * , and also to state whether it would be . more expedient to repair the six workhouses or build anew one , for the reception of tu * smniber of paupers mentioned .
