LITERARY NOTICE.
BtknkY Clifto* | or, Virini'uJt, in both hearts-
' phtrti. A Toll of ike Nineteenth Century.
h Two Vols. Harm* dc Brother* t New
York.
That American literature li approaching a stand-
•nl when it may, with advantage, he compared to
the high polish of transatlantic productions, will be
admitted by alt. Indeed, already otir Ittvino, our
1’rescott, our Coorrn, our DaRcnorT, our
Everett. ourCHAXHtNn, otir Bryaxt, and our
Hallrcr, to aay nothin? of our eminent female wri-
trrs, have attained a celebrity in Eurojra, which
place* them in tho very front rank of modern
author*. Tliey have all pn*»cd the fiery ordeal «f
tho mn*t unclinritaldo eriticl«m in tho page* of
Blackwood and tho Quarterly, n* woli n« through
the critical, hut more Impartial shoot* of the
Edinburgh, tho tVctmi'niter, and the column*
of tl»e London dally and weekly pro**—mid they
have received praise* from even the enemy. The
| author of tho " Sketch Bonk," I* acknowledged on
^ all hand* to be tho licit writer of English "pure and
ondefiled," since tho day* of Defoe. I In i* novur
spoken of but in laudatory term*. And ho dnus
not owethl* distinction to hi* own admiring conn*
trymen—but ruthor to hi* own unaided genius,
which led to renown in a foreign noil—almost before
hi* native land appreciated his superiority. Ameri
can book* are now not'only read, but sought after in
London \ and tho young lltctnturn of our youthful
country ha* found It* wny all over tho Globe.
Therefore, it i» necessary for tho pro** of Arne*
rtca, to foster and cncnuraga every scintillation nf
nntivo talent—to cheer when it i» deserved, nnd
to point out blemishes when they exist. No author
need dread legitimate criticism. It is tho main
artery of literature itself—tho very essence of its
glorlou* existence. The pruning knifo is applied
to tho vine, that it may wind it* tendril*, a id boor
it* delicious burden with more case and freedom
than when cncumburcd with it* luxuriance. Suit
it with literature. It is a question whether Byron
would have ever been tho poet ho was, hnd ho not
been castigated by tho Edinburgh Reviewers; and
tho’ wt are no advoente* for that cold nnd unfeeling,
aarcistic, and unkind method of denling with au
thors, which sent poor Kkats to an enrly grave—
but which tho giant mind of Btron scorned nnd
contemned—yet do wo think, that the truth should
bo at all time* told of literary productions—and
further, that tho system of puffing i« most injurious
to authors tbemiolvos,—boenuso it loud* them to
form an improper estimate of their own powers.
We have boon led to make theso romnrks from
a close peroral of tho work, tho title nf which stands
at the head of tills article. It is evidently tho pm<
ductinn of a young nuihor, if not a young tnnn. It
bear* throughout i's pages tho impress of talent of
no common order. But tho author hnt attempted
too much. He could wrlto a pleasing tulo—a live
ly novel; yot he should not nttempt to moralize.
I In should not endeavour to rival Bulwkr nr
D'Israrm—for nltbnugh wo nbominnta tho af
fected ityln of tho lutter, it must bo allowed that
lie it a genius. Now every man is not such i^gn-
nius—nor can every author spin out half a dozen
pages with brilliant tangnnge, ideal fancies, and
glowing Images, nil about nothing, ns fro nuthor of
44 Cnntarini Fleming," lins done in nearly nil hi*
works. It is true tho nuthor of " Sydney Clifton,"
has indtdged in this mood only in n siftnll way; but
it would be bettor if lm hud Mover thought of being
fashionably philosophic—tho grent error of the
whole tribe of novel writers in these bur days—al
ways excepting Mr. James—and Irvino, we sigh
while we write it, seems to linvo abandoned the
vocation. Wo would not wish to be unders'mid a*
disparaging "Sydney Clifton " It is a respectable
eflbrt; yet we think it* author would hnvo been
mure successful, had ho never carried his hero
across the Atlantic. Hu seems too little acquaint
ed with English manners—nod fails entirely in de
picting the beau mondr. There may be n« kind
lienrted mon ns Lord Tkmim.kton, among tho Eng
lish aristocracy, but wo beg leave to soy that none
of that class would Introduce n stranger, to tho ho-
■nm of his family, nnd more especially when that
family wu* composed of two motherless girls—nnd
that stranger a handsome young adventurer, with
out money or friends, nnd n fugitive from justice.
A story to bo nn utrl, tnu-t bo probnMo. flonoe,
our doubt*. It is not for u* to say whether it is n
S patriotic modo of showing one's love to hi* country,
to have ono of hi* heroes, Maddox, an American
sentenced to bo hung in England, for robbery—and
to make tho most conspicuous of hi* villains, De-
Lyle, lose his life nt tho door of nu hotel in Lon
don, (whence he hnd fled for forgery,) liy tho hands
of an injured father, who nfterwurd* blow* hi* own
brain* nut. The characters of Km.inodourne,
Shafton, and Mattiiison, tho first nnd the Inst
New York black-leg,; nnd Shafton, a gentleman
of fortune, who knows the whole set to bo gnm.
blots and cheats, yet keops their company, and emsj
se* tho Atlantic with them—theae clinruotor* wo
repeat, are not such a* wo would wish to seo in nn
American novel. Tho tableau would bo disgrace
ful to our countiy, if it wero real, and therefore we
•ay, that auch heroes are not calculated to give
foreigner* anything like a fair specimen of Ameri
can society—a* fashionable novels uro expected to
do.
- The chnrnctor nf Julia Borrowdalk is natural
—-that of Helen forced. Glknthornk’s character
should bo moro developed, nnd the story of tho
birth of Borcharu should be more fully explained.
This mystery will not do in theso days. The ago
of tho 44 Castlo of Otranto," tho " Mysteries of
Udulpho," and tho 44 Black Forest,” lias passed
away—thanks to Walter Scott.
The author of "Paul Clifford," can invent even
m pot-house ruffian with interest, whilo you lain tho
him—but our author could not, though ho tried to
do the same, with the boy, BuRCHAnn.
An author should be above such clap-traps as tho
vulgar so-called 41 Welfarisms" of the day. Why
we havo seen ton times as good as tho following in
die penny ptiper*.
• 44 Let us be elfin a whisk, as tho butcher *aid to
tho fly!"* quoth Shafton to tho hero, when he
had just shot Ills antagonist in a duel—and was es
caping with his life.
If this is likely, wo do not know whnt nature is.
In conclusion, we hope to sec the author of " Sydney
Clifton" expending his talents on a more interesting
work, whether uf fiction or fart, thnn tho ono be
fore us—and wo hope to have tho pleasure of giving
him our meed of applause at some future day, when
experience will hnvo lighted his path. We havo
before given him credit for ability—nnd the present
work, wo doubt not, will bo a favourite with many.
For the sake of the nuthor and publishers, (the lat
ter of whom the reading public nro much indebted
• to,) we hopo so.

THE BENIGHTED "ATLAS" AGAIN!
The Botton Allot of the 10th, now before us,

the brightest hopes nro often, disappointed. So
with those of our Bostonian friend:—

of the United State* at Paris.
John A. Parker, of Virginia, to bo clerk to tho
Commissioner for marking tbo boundaty between
the United State* and the Republic of T» sa*.
[for tiir oxorrian.]
Mr. Editor t—l hnvo learned, with rente •urpriso,
that upon a late ucca«ion an ungw noruut attack
from a quarter, front whence a blow of such a na
ture ws* least to be expected, was made ujton tho
motive, and objectt of this City Council, in rolling
to mnko retailor* of spirituous liquor* take an oath
that they would not sell liquor to slaves, or person*
of color. A* I ant one of those persons who Micro
that the law would have boon im|tulitic, inexpedi
ent, und immoral in it* tendency, I u*k leave from
you to state a few reasons in support of my opinion.
Yon nr* aware, Sir, that tho I'rnul Code of the
Stntc prohibit* any shopkeeper or any other perron,
from felling liquor to slaves or froo persons of color,
without permission front tho master, Ac, under
jiennlty of lino ntnl imprisonment for such of
fence. Tills prohibition wns passed in 103:1, und
remained unaltered when tho Legislature In 1838
passed nnothor act, directing tho Clerk of the In-
ferior Court to whom any application might be
mndo for liceime to rotnil spirituous liquors, to re
quire the npplicnnt (o take nn oath before him, to
bo kept in a lunik to be preserved by him, by which
onth tho applicant wu* to call upon God to witness
that ho would not soli liquor to sluvea or free per-
son* of color, without the verbal or written consent
of the nwnor, overteer or employer of such linvo,
*o. You perceive, Sir, that this act did not In any
manner chnngu tho previous law; it only threw
“round It wlmt wns considered to ho an additional
guard, by requiring tho shopkeeper* to take nn oath
to observe It. Tito Legislature, by a small major
ity, passed It, nnd tbo question then cumn up before
Council whether such n lnw should bo Incorporu-
tod in tho City Ordinance*.
Now, the first question to ho considered is, (nrd
it is n paramount ono,) wns there any obligation on
the city authorities to enact such n law? Wore
they or wore they not at perfect liberty to pass or
not to pnss It? Wns there any thing in their onth
—in tho lnw of tho State—in iho dictates or their
conscience, which ought to hnvo tnndn tho Aider-
men vote for Its pa-sago? If nil theso questions
cun bo answered in tho negative, I think that you
will agreo with me, Mr. Editor, that a cruel nnd
uncnllcd fl.r injustice, from a source from which
should flow nothing hut charity and tho milk of hu
man kindness, has been done to tho Rnnrd.
Lot us first look to tho legal objection. Tho
Pennl Code of tho State prohibits any parson from
selling liquors at retail without liconso from the
Inferior Court of the county, "except in Cot.
porale townt or eittet, where, by law, authority
to grant lieentr, it vetted in the corporate
thoritici of tuch townt or eitivTo prove tlint
Savannah fulls within this exception, it is but nu-
cessnry toUdvort to tho 13th section of tho amend-
ed charter of tho city of Savannah.—"And l»o it
fttrther enacted that tho Corporation „f the city of
Savniinali und hamlets thoraof^hall hnvo tho tolc
regulation and power of governing nnd directing
tavern sand granting Hcentet within it* jurisdiction-
n) limits, under tuch rule, and regulationn at
from time to time may ,cent a,hi,able," Now.
let us turn back to tho act of 1838, which requires
the retailer to take the noth, and seo whether the
general control over retailing, given by tho Legisla
ture to the city of Savannah, is in any manner res
trained by tho lust mentioned art. Tho oath, by
that art, is required to be administered by " the
Clerk of the Inferior Court to whom such uppli-
ration may be made." Such clerk is required to
attest "each nnd retry onth so'taken, in u hook to
bo kept by him fur tlint purpose,**'
When you remember that all licenses to retail,
except in ooroomto cities, nro gratitod by tho Infij
rlor Courts or tho countins, and whan you perceive
tlint there is not the slightest iillnshm mndo to any
other person than the Clerk of the Inferior Court,
who could only art in county licenses, nnd has no
manner of nutliorily to InWmoddlo in any wny with
licenses granted incorporate towns; ami when you
see that not tho most distant reference is mndo* to
corporate towns or cities, nr nny attempt evinced to
diminish tho general and unlimited power over li-
ennses, already conferred upon them, yon will m
nnr.o cram to the conclusion, Mr. Editor, tlint there
was nothing in tho lnw of the Srato of 1838, which
wns in nny mnnner obligatory upon Council, and
that thoso who bitterly uasailotl the Board for its
v«to on till* nccusion, and who wont so far ns to
throw out nu insinuation that there was a derelic
tion of duty nnd of oath, should have paused, before
they held up honau men to public indignation,
without having mndo iheimnlvos musters of ilia
subject they wero discussing.
No, Mr. Editor, there was nothing in tho net of
1830 which ct*t any lognlnr moral obligation on tho
Council to require retailer* to take an until tu obey
the laws uf tbo State.
But tho question remains, (and it is a minor ono
in comparison with tho Inst,) was it erpedimt or
politic, to pass such nn ordinance. 1 fully ronrpdit
that neither the expediency nor policy ofun net is to
betaken into consideration when the law declare*
that it slinli bo done, hut I think I linvo shown that tho
law gives no such injunction to tho City authorities
in this rase. It then licrnmo tlio duty of Council
to n«k, there boing no /rga/obligation on the Board
to pass such a low, U there nny argument ofex.
pedioncy, or morality that cun Iw brought to hour
upon tho mnitcr, to influence tho Corporation to
pass it. If *o, nnd Council knowing this havo
still refused to pass it,they hBvo indeed proved rcero.
nut to their trust, and they deserve to Ite branded
as traitors and cowards. But 1 hold tho law to bo
both inexpedient, mid in its consequence* tending
to produce immorality, and I think, therefore, thot
its rejection was a who nnd propor set. Let mo
stnto a few reasons for this belief.
It is inexpedient, because it would tend to dimin.
ish materially, tho rovenuo of tho City, which is con.
sidernbly nugmnnted by license fen*. I freely ad
mit, that this argument is quite unavailing and im
proper, If it be opposed by principle or duty. But
if no such opposition takes plnco; if Council wero
satisfied that thecnactment of this ordinance would
drivo from tho trade of retailers, nil the -honest
shopkeeper*, (we suppose that it will bo conceded
that there mny lie such a thing a* nn honest shop-
keeper,) and Icavo the business in the hands nf un-
t principled men who would swallow an oath with
tho same avidity and solemnity (when it wns their
interest to do so,) ai.the miserable drunkard gulps
down the poison of bis soul, bis principles, and hi
intellect;—if tho Corporation believed that tho law
wn* but a bait for perjury—a *nnrc into which the soul*
of mon were to bo canght, I ask you, Mr. Editor'
and I ask those who arraigned mon before their fel
low-citizens, men who were absent and could not
answer,—individuals whose live* hnvo Uvn passed
in this community,—who lovo its soil and thfe very
dust they trend on, for it contains the ashes of their
hopes and their a flections,—who have no interest
beyond iu limits, and under w hoso sod their bones
will moulder, I appeal to even those, Sir, was ii not
justifiable, legal, moral, honorable, to abstain from
tho passuge of this ordinance ? If theso were the
feelings and belief (and who can search the h-art
to say they were not,) of those who voted against the
law,ought t^oyto bespoken of os men who trifled
with their oatlu. Sir, there i» a passage in the Holy
Book (I allude to it reverently.) which say*. “ Thou
shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.’
I submit, whether he who attack* the mot ire* and
feeling* of absent men, without understanding by
what motive* ’they were impelled, doe* not fitl
within the tpirit, if not the letter of the command
ment.
Mr. Editor, you must bear continually in your re
collection, that Council have not refused (as 1 un
derstand that it has been alleged.) to prohibit re
taileis from selling liquor t* slaves. That question
was not before them. The law of fbe Slate pro-
bibils that, and the licenses granted by the city, are
expressly subject to (lie condition, that the retailtr
J »dl «t*y ths i»w* pf tb* State, and he five, bond*
Slur SS&SirrMjg
to the city to that sired, fie who sell* liquor lo
•lares, violates the law, and can and otighl
lb ho punished. The simple question presented
lo Iho Beanl, was, shall the Honnl require
an oath to ho taken by the retailors, to ob
serve tlso law f Shall this bo dona whan there
U nothing in tho State law obliging tlio Conn-
ell to do It. ami when it was believed that this In-
discriminate swearing, whilst it lm* tin good effect
upon tho eonscienre, and it continually disregarded,
ha* n tendency to lower and make a common place
mutter of tho name of God, by invoking it upon
ever)- filling discussion. Sir, the minds of men
throughout tho civilised world, are ownko to tho
constant and legal blatphemy of Judicial onth*
Tho wisrst philosopher*,—tho purest Christian*,
have deprecated In glowing language, the daily in
vocations upon tho name of the deity, under the
sanction of the law. They have said " that upon
two classes of mon, tho oath will lm uxdos*; religi
ous mon with whom tho natural obligation to speak
tbo truth will bo a sufficient inducement to veracity
und irreligiou, men who would bo Indifferent to
any new tanefion which religion could impose
Evon where the moaning of the oath is understood,
It does nut incrouso tlio religious obligation to speak
the truth. The oath cun in reality, add nothing to
the obligation." " When," as Dr. Raley says, " not
a pound of ton enu travel from the ship to tho con
sumer, without costing half a dozen oath* at least;
when tlio snmo solemn invocation i* mndo by the
incumbent of the pettiest office, and tho holder of
tho highest official trust; (we tiny add, and by
tho seller of every glass of grog;) when oaths have
thu« become us faudliur ns housohold words, what
sanction* of solemnity or nj-nciations of roligioui.
nwo can bo connected with their two ?" "The most
solemn words nnd forms mny be hoard nnd uttered,
until their original force and menidug are entirely
lost. There is litilo doubt that tho rommon prac
tice of profane swearing uiigiiiitcd in a reverent
and sorinus use, in solumn protostatiuiis, of tho
terms of tho oaths, which are now profanely ut
tered."
I have given you tho opinions of Christians nnd
Philosophers in preference to my own, Mr. Editor,
licrauso they are more forcibly expressed. 1 ask
you, I ask the religious part of this community,
ought mon to bo vehemently attacked, their motive*
assailed, their integrity denied, because iu the c»n-
scicntiou* discharge of their duty, they believed the
ordinances to be impolitic, inexpedient, Hnd tending
to dugrudo the tiumo of God, uud to damn thu souls
of meii ?
Mr. Editor, I attack tlio motives of no one. The
members of tlio Board who voted foe tho law, I
know to bo pure und honorable mon, who thus re
corded their votes, boenuso they bolieved tluit there
was un obligation an them to do so. Thoso who
voted in tho nogntlvo, I ptvsumonll held a contrary
doctrine, nnd it is ungenerous nnd uncharitable to
•upposo that they would "trifle with their oaths,"
from motives of personal policy, or from a desire to
danco that most unprofltnhle of nil jigs, tho "jig
pnpulnmm." It is not thu, that public servants
should bo rewarded for years of thankless toil.
They urn political shuttlecocks ti be knocked
about by every hnt tlint they mny approach. They
may bo abused for their Ignorance, or rejected for
tlndropinions; bat their motive,, nnd theirfeeling,
should Ihj respected, uud until there hnvo been
proved to bo corrupt, charity and religion should
alike dictate tliut (hoy should nut be *

ABOLITION WHIG MOVEMENT.
Alhant, August 1 1839.
Tho Nationnl Anti-Slavery Convention, consisting
of upwnrds of four hundred delegates from overy
Shite North of the Potomac, is now inso-simi here.
Two resolutions nr# under discu-sioo, by which
political action is urged on the Anti Slavery party
a* the only means of sum*»«; aid u pledge lias been
given not to support nny candidate who is not for
the immediate abolition of slavery.
A g iihI many speeches havo lieen made, mostly
in favour of the resolutions, and I think they will Iks
adopted. In tlio course of debate, I lenry Clay and
Martin Van Burnt nro both openly donouncod—tlio
onoas ready by his veto to perpetuate slavery in the
District of Columbia, tlio nthr.rns owning and driv
ing sixty slaves on his plantation. Tlio Abolitionist*
lire determined to oppose Mr. Clay, and they now
assort that they can nnd will prevent tlio success of
tlio Whig ticket in Connecticut, Vermont, Massachu
setts und Ohio, if. Mr. Clay is nominated. 1 leave
it for you and tho other Sachems of tlio party to d.*»
tormina whnt is to be our course uml- r this fearful
aspect of tilings. Must not " Union, Comprtimi-o
and Harmony" bo our watchword forthwith.
Yours, &c.
Ay, the rack brings out tlio confession. The
Whig-, in danger of losing their allies, nre com
pelled tu confess tho alliance. The Abolitionists
assort that they eon nnd will prevent tlio success of
iho Whiff tlrkei in four Siatos, if Mr. Clay 1* nomi
nated, and ilia Whig correspondent of the Express
calls it a "fearful aspect of things." It is not "tear
ful" unless the Abel tinnist* nre of tin* Whig party.
But tlio uukindest cut of nil, is that tho Abolitionists
threaten to upset the Wldgs in Ohio, where it lias
been so shamelessly ass-rted that tliey all belonged
to he other party. How is this deploruldo state
of things in the Whig party to l>o remedied ? The
correspondent of the Express plainly intimates that
tho demands of the fnaaties must bu complied
with—that the Whig party of die Confederacy, iike
the Whig parly of New York, must pat on nnd wear
as graceftilla* they mny. the parti-colored penitentia
ry garment of a Federal Abolition Union. " Must
not Union, Compiomise nnd Harmony' be our
watchword forthwith ?" " Union" with whom ?
Why,truly, with the Abolitionists. "Compromise"
with whom ? With those who demand us the con
dition of their adhesion to the Whigs, that their
candidate for the Pro«ideuey -lull l>u an Abolition-
" Harmony," wiih whom ? With those who
drive openly and avowedly nt rov.diitionixi.ic tlio
Soutli by tho acti in of the Fnder-il Government.
This is a pretty programme for ihn Southern Whig*
to digest. Are they randy for thi* IhmiimIuI project
of " Union, Compromise and Harmony?''
It is worthy of note, too. that according to thu
above account of the doings of tho Abolitionists,
Mr. Van Buren is denounced by them for hi* anti-
abolition principles; Mr. Clay for the accident of
owning slaves. Perhaps after all he may lie able
to enter into the new " compromise." According
to the Birhmaud Whig, he lm* lately given up nil
his former priuc'plt-s, tariff, bank, internal improve
ments, <tc. can he not sod out hit slaves, and so
happily reconcile tlio Abolitionists l
It will be recollected, Mr. Editor, that tho Whig
papers of Georgia have based their opposition to
Mr. Van Buren upon the ground that he is art Aboli
tionist, which tliey know is nut the fact. Ttiey have
been repeatedly called upon to come out openly, and
any whether they did not wish to see Mr Clay elect*
cd President, but upon this subject they have main
tained a coinmeudablo silence! They know that
Mr. Clay cannot get the vote of Georgia directly,
uud therefore they hove (doubtless with the hope of
ih owing the election into the House of Representa
tive#) nm up the flag of a gentleman every way quali
fied for the office, it is true, but who is not a candi
date; who himself is cpjioicd to Mr. Clay—who
is a Sub-Treasury man, and 4 understand, favoura
ble to the re-election of Mr. Van Buren. Is this
cou *e honorable ? I h ave it to the Editors lo say
—altho' tl»ey may try to pull the people of Georgia
into the belief that Mr. Van Buren is adverse to tbei r
interest#, the above correspondence shows that die
Abolitionists know better. I challenge those pa
pers to copy it.

BIRMINGHAM, July 20, 1839.
Wu have had sud times in this plnco since 1 wrote
you by the ln-l pucltei.
My letters will liavo advised you of thu riots ut
Birmingham, early in the month It wu* ru-urved,
howuvur, for Monduy lust to bring no mure nHrion*
events, umuiig which wus uncflortlo boro don it thi*
place, whoso population is about tlio sumo us tliut
of New York.
1 liuvo sor.iral thnus boon over thu scene of deso
lation, uml oxuminud thu iihtcu* which wore at-,
tacked by ilia nt'ib, Tho “ Bull King" l* one uf
the most public placet la Birmingham, and is not
unlike that purl uf New York culled Cliutlium
square.
Tho magistrates hud been ongugod in tho exami
nation of wilnussus ivlutmg to tlio previous riots
during tlio woolo of Monday. The moluuehuly
work of that night I givo you ns stated in the Bit-
ininghuin Journal of this day.
Tlio magistrate* were engaged in tlio investiga
tion until lour o'clock, after which they received
bail f..r Air. Lovett and Air. C'ulHnf, mid left the
ullioo about live o’clock. Tlio crowd in .Moor street
and tlio Bud Ring having boon apprised of thu re-
*uu, gradually dispersed, mid the town presented
iu U’tial orderly appearance. Unfurtunutaiy, how
evoi, thi* tranquillity was of short duration. About
suven o'clock tlio Bull Khlg buemno crowded with
a number of persons, muny of whom, from thoir np-
jieuraiicu, wore evidently unrooted by curiosity,
fltoir conduct was perfectly urduily, so much so
tliut nu utlumpt wus mudo, u*in thupruviuu*nights,
to dispurse them. The pressure, however, wus so
great lliutili.i shopkeeper* iu toe Bull Ring cl ,sod
their shops before eight o’clock, u litilo earlier than
usual, but without any atilicipuliun ol a riot. Sh il
ly uflcv eight o'clock u mob uf persons, tu the num
ber of about live hundred, were noun coming up
Digbclh, united with pieces of iron nnd wouduu
railings, and other weuponi. Un thoir arrival ut
Alum- street they turned down to tho prison uml im
mediately commenced a turious attack upon tho
windows, utmost nil of which they demolished.
Tim policemen who weio insido closed the gates,
havi >g,'lappear*,received urdeis nu; to act uguinst
the people without instructions from die ntugis-
ti ates. Tlio uiuii having demolished the uilicc win
dows und dared the police lo hii encounter, ro'ree
led thoir steps, and immediately commenced an m-
txet upon the windows to the long range uf building
in thu premise* of Alnssrs, Bourn#, grocers After
smashing uvury pnno in lit t building, wliisli is live
stones high, wiiii u fionttge «.f uhuoi luriy f.*i t,uiid
in di'ptli about ninety fem, tlv-y divided iliutnse-ves
into ourtics and commenced the work uf destitu
tion in good cm nest. One party, at a quarter to 9
o'clock, bum iu the shop-door of Messrs. Bourne's
h'*u»e und immediately cnniin iircd destroying thu
property. Tea, sugar, uml every ut tic.c they c.ubj
lay theii hand* upon wore thrown into thestrueiphe
cuimisturs kicked out among ttiu rioiois, uml toe
wholo frontage buttered in. The shopman mui in
mate* wero paralysed, and Ib-d out of the house by
the side und others duurs. While this wurk uf de
vastation was going on another party uflectod their
entrance into the shop of Mr. Leggutt, fern her dea
ler nnd uphoi->lorer, and having got possession ofn
number ui pio.es of bed ticking, some uf thorn rush
ed into tho street with them, ami spread them like
cm polling in nil direction* about the Bull Ring.
Having placed the linen in thi* manner upon the
puvemcm, one of the rmters deliberately went to u
lump ut Neisun’s niouuinunt, uml having ligh ed n
piece of pupor, lie set lire lo the ticking. Whoa it
was set in limn#* it was then rolled up into a heap
opposite the monument, mid from thence carried in
ditlbrant portions into the shops ofMe-sr*. Burn tu
mid Leggett. The firs almost instant y seized th#
counters und paper, ami in a lew minute* the build-
in?* wero in fl ones. I hu ebject* of the rioter* were
now so obvious that tho cnncmjisu who hud assem
bled in ilic Bull Ring bocarno evidently alarmed
and duper-cd, leaving the rioters to tint lull posses
sion of the leading street*. Tlio next place attacked
by the mob whs the bouse of Mr. Arnold, poik
butcher, residing nouriy opposite the inunmnont.
They were, however, repulsed there; nnd did not
sucm-ed in tiring tlio house. Other parties, |:i the
interim, lurccdupcn the simps of Mrs. Martin, jew
eller, nextio Mo**/*. Bennie'*, Mr. Banks, drug
gist, Mr. Suvug#, I'h'H-M factor, Mr. Arthur Dakin,

son Hotel, Air*. Hi i'ltoii, pork hatcher, Bull Ring.
Air*. Allen, hi-ruit baker, Air. Ucutli, cheese factor,
nud Air. Scudamore, druggist.
The front window of Mrs. M irtin's house was
completely smashed, and all the property within
reach, consisting of g dd lings mid jewe/ery, was
thrown about, aid a portion of them stolen. Mr.
Bank's show window w-s* broken in, and a great
d. ul of property destroyed. Tho sliojt win low* of
the ulher above named Imu*## wore stove in, and
the windows in many of ih« room- smashed. The
attack upon Mr. II irteo's shop was ino*t furious.
The property, consisting of almost every species of
maaofaetured silver ami silver plated good*, was
thrown into tlio *tr#et, scattered ah -ut, and even
employed in smi*hing the window* of ih# ail joining
hi*u«es. Borne of the property was ranted away,
but • great portion of it was broken t > pieces and
kicked through tlm street. The N -l*on Hotel suf
fered greatly. The shutter* ol ilui cuff e room wsre
completely destroyed, «* well a* the front of the li-
qonr shop, and nearly nllilie window* in front of the
House. A piece of loiniing timber was placed a.
gainst one of tlio windows of tho litpior shop, loti it

Ring uud nvigliborho d, most of whom wore to lm
seen flying with the r families, account books, and
sucli pur,ion of thoir valuable pi-opurtva* could be
easily conveyed away. Air. Belcher,‘who lived In
tlio bouse u.(j,lining Air. i«yggott'a iiii'tuiiOH, uud
two ludic*, escaped by tnemi* of a ludder. Do acli-
tuciits of the troops and rifle brigade were sent in ail
directions to clour the streets; and tint must fearful
apprehensions were entertained, that otner pagts of
Hie town would lie ntuiuked In u similar muu-
tn-r. Nothing, however, nf the kind occurred, uud,
with die exception ol tho above outrage, which
lias b on attended with tlio loss of muoy thousand
pounds worth of propurty, tho night pnssl-d over
without luiTiior violenee. By one o'clock the
lire iu Messrs Bounin's premise* wus subdued, but
nut until tlio trout building was a compb to wreck,
ooliiing being loti standing uxcupl the walls. Tlio
Uro i.i Air. Leggett's house wus extinguished uhuui
tho sumo time, but the uogmos continued tilurimr
until three o’clock. * " “
Tuesiluy, the following morning, the town pre
sented a in ihi gloomy appearance. Tlio shops in

wore actively engaged iu searuilitig Mis|ibctcd

Up to this period the magistrates liuvu beua on-
