Attempt to Fire fliriningJam.—The sullen sii
leuco oftlie movement parly, although,they bad
not indulged in any exce-scadoriiigtha last week
did any thing hut ellayjihe fears or the friends
of order end peace. Still, many anxious' te
repel, if possible, from the public mind, any un<
necessary apprehensions, unfortunately pieced
confidence In this outward, but treacherous,
appearance of peace. Even tho authorities, es
if willing tn coax the people into a respect for
the lew, withdrew, as much as possible, from
thosttcots the nrelrnp ditatt police, and softened
down ninny acts of the. puptiloce which porhnps,
under ditfeienicircntiistniices. they might have
treated with eevetity. At length, .dummy night
tha crowds which assembled in the vUinity id
the Bulljiing did not direct much attention. In
the morning n meeting was nailed at Hnlluway,

meeting was called fur the evening, and was
most numerously attended. It would appsar.

ordered tu disperse them.—Having met widt

slightly and two severely. Tha polico. in older
to ovoid all cause for irritation, vvete culled into
the I'ulico ofiiee.yard, out of tho gaze uf the
people. 'Die latter, about eight o'clock, became
exceedingly liimuhuoue, and commenced
breaking the windows of tire office, and flinging
■tonea into the yard where the police wete
drawn up. One fellow actually attempted
to cross the iron railings in front of the allies
Tho police, all this time, remained unmoved,
under tlio orders of that excellent superintendent,
May, who w I It the greatest difficulty, restrained
his msn ftom sallying out mi the "timers. At
•boat half past sight lo'etock, the Intler began
bracking the windows and large lamps in lli£h-
street am! Spiceall-atiecl; ami then turned their
attention to the houses thomscWes, into several
of which they repeatedly tundo attempts to lores
an entrance. Finding that the weapons (clubs
and aiicks) with which they rushed at the iron
pallisados round the Nelson Mimminent, a pur
tion of which they wrenched from tho masonry,
and then rammed to the work of destruction.
No time Imd elapaed before they forced in Meesra
Bourne's, the extensive tea dcalers, whose pre.
mites extend tweenty feet front of the Bull* ring
and sixty feet in Moore-streat. Tho shuttors
and doors yielded to their continuous attacks,
which they immediately tore down and convert*
ed into weapons. They then commenced pillag*
ing thu warehouses,and throwing their contents,
teas, sugars, spices, dec., into the street. This
occurred about ten minutes to nine. At about
fiva minutes past nine they broke into .Mr.
leeggott's promises, upholsterer, taking etitim
mouse rolls of bedticking, which they spread,
lika carpeting, about tho Bull ring. At a quart
ter past nino the order for nutting out the lights
was given, and obeyed by the riuters, mon and
boys climbing up the lamp posts for tho pur puss
of putting out the gas. All was now darkness,
which increased the horrors uf the night.
At this period the iuhubitant* of Uigh street
Moorestreet,8picoall street, &c. were ergs ltd
in removing Ibeir families and furniture. The
next object of destruction wns the house of Mr.
Murcoit, cheesemonger. From thence they
went to Mr* Arthur Dakin’s, tea dealer, wtmst
house Urey bed on the previous week attacked

and Mr. Batiks, diugioi. had the whole of the
fronts destroyed, their property pillaged, anfi
otherwise damaged. The immense frontage of
Mr. Goodens, Nelson Holton, was next assail
ed, the windows and doors basing forced in.
At a few minutes past nine the awful cry of
'Fire, fire.''struck the ear, Scarcly had the
words escaped ilia demons’ lips before the,
earned unmenio heaps of Ilia bunting materials
from tho streets, lurcing thorn iniii Messrs,
ilonrneand Leggett’s house. The horror with
which those who dared to view the proceeding
witnessed this set can he easier conceived than

Mr. Belcher and two Indies, supposed to bo his

joins Mr. Leggett's.by ladders. Tho state or
ibis gentleman's mind aItno.t approached in
sanity. All his properly was conveyed to the
Nelson Hotel at lha moment thnt the flra was
spreading to III* Ii-iiisb from Mr. Leggett's. A
two hoiao tiro engine drove up, but die firemen

their lives would have been the for felt. The riot
ers wore at this time, busily angagod carrying
fire In the other lumens, especially the Nelson,
but Providence rendered all their elF-rls un
availing. A gentleman, galloping up Ihoslreet
was pursued liy thorn amidst cries nf-Slop,
Slop:' but Iris horse carried him beyond their
roach. Tile general cry among the iiihubiiuns
was, 'Where are the military! where are the
magistrates!'
At a quarter lo ten, silty of the metropolitan
polico, supported by n pt>:-so of specials, undor
the commend of M r. Superintendent May, rush-
edjiipon the inobanord in hand. The latter im
mediately yielded, flying in ell directions. As
soon os they drove off the mol- to a short dis-
Unco, they judiciously retired. The dragoons
were now espied by them coming down Moore
■lreel, who acknowledged their appearance
with buzzes and brandishing of swords. An-
oilier squadron -r-lrngoons at the same inumont,
galloped down High street, the inhabitants wel

Mu. EutTon—The Into extraordinary voto or

ilia Mayor, has already given rise tu not n lilllo
discussion iu the public papers, und still ntora
to tho public streets. In much or this debate,

Vote. llABrxn A Bnovuxns.—The two or
three first chapters or this Novel go off quite
trippingly, and shew conclusively that the
author is not only a man of talents, but accus
tomed lo handling the pan. Whether hs is tc,
customsd to this kind of writing, is another
question I We ere inclined lo the belief that
ha is not.
The plot is not a natural one by any means,
it is all fat fetched end improbable, and shewing
tho greatest poverty of invention. It commen
ces in Dickey Riher’e Police Conn in Now
York, and ends very similarly in London.—
'Die hero is brought to light hy a murder end
suicide in America,and the denouement is bro't
to a crisis by a murder end suicide in England.
There is nothing but miffing, frolicking end
riming throughout the book. Murders, duels,
burglaries and seductions sro as rife as in fits
Newgale Calender. Thera is (we believe) not
lo be fashionable) the iliipedesi of ell block,
iteada. One of them is e desperate punster; end
yet villainous as the habit, is, does not stake'one
good pun throughout the book.
The dialogues are like across examination in
a criminal prosecution, without their interest, or
perhaps, more like the shorter catechiim—more
to convey a principle than lo akalch charaoten
and may bo just is well said by one of llto char
actcra as another.
In ehorl Ihe author lies not one porticlo of
imagination or conslructivooess. Ho is doubt
