FROM ENGLAND.
Tile ship (Intario, at New York on the loth s
vist. has brought London papers to the after-{
non*, ot Nov. 3d, extracts from which we take]
from the Courier and Enquirer.
The most important intelligence by this ar
rival, is that disturbances of a most appalling
nature, have occurred at Bristol in England.
In France, the government have resolved
to create a sufficient number of Peers to car
ry tlirough th upper Chambet the bill which
has passed the Chamber of Deputies, abolish
ing au hereditary peerage.
An o:der from Rihinshi, Commander in (
Chief of the Polish arinv, has been published
dated Oct. 4, of which the following is an ex
tract .
“The enemy has proposed to us humilia
ting conditions, contrary to ttie national dig- j
mty. It only remains for us to save rur hon
or by rejecting them —-to pass tiie frontier in
to the states of his Majesty the King of Prus
sia, and there to seek an asylum. In our pre
sent situation, a prolonged struggle would on
ly draw down great calamities oa Poland. We
lay down the arms which we took up in t:.
sacred cause of the independence and the in
tegrity of our native country, protesting a*
gainst the violations and the abuses of
which we are the victims, until Europe
under whose protection we place ourselves,
docs pronounce definitely on our country’s
late, if then, our prayers are not heard—ii
justice is refused < s—if the monarchs reject
vts, the Almighty will he our avenger, and the
stone which closes the sepulchre will entomb
the independence of the nations who are in
different to our misfortunes.’
DREADFUL RIOTS AT BRISTOL.
Sunday Morning, Oct. 30, 1) o’clock.—
Our Recorder has at length fatal proof that j
there is no reaction in the city of Bristol. We J
are in a state of excitement that is really
dreadful to contemplate, the lower order of
people arc marching in thousands towards
College Croon, whilst the more respectable
classes, in groups of from six to twenty, arc
canvassing the fatal events that arc passing
around them.
At Hills bridge the crowd increased, and
in some way information was sent that it was
intended here to drag Sir Charles (Wethcrcll) i
from the coach and throw him in the river ; a j
troop of the 14th was stationed about 100|
yards up the ranks in the New Market. 1,
should have stated that in the comint ncement;
■of the week three troops of horse had arrived,]
and shewn themselves in the city, and were
quartered in the neighborhood. There were
about 5200 special constables immediately
surrounding the coach ; many, I may say most
of the respectable tradesmen had refused to
bo sworn in, and many hirelings were enga
ged, who had neither temper nor judgment ]
and to this circumstance may be attributed!
most of the subsequent calamities.
On the road to tiie Guildhall the crowd eun- J
tinued to increase, but many turned off to the j
bridge, to await his arrival at the Mansion j
ll /use in the square. Tiie most dreadful noi
ses continued the whole way, and occasional- j
Jv, 1 regret to say, a stone was thrown, hut no
injury was done. After the commission was!
opened, (and during the ceremony, public '
feeling could not bo restrained ; and Sir j
Charles was imprudent enough twice to threat
en to commit any one who should be brought
before him) the procession proceeded to the
Mansion house, hut without the usual cortege
of carriages* On entering the square the
constables began to strike the crowd that]
pressed upon them, and several stones were J
thrown. The Sheiiffswcre allowed to alight j
and enter very peaceably ; the constables then ]
formed a dense line between the carriage and
the door of the house, and the moment Sir
Charles alighted, he cowed down, and ran in
to the house. At this moment a cloud of
stones were thrown at the carriage, which
greatly damaged it, and a blow from a thick
stick, demolished a glass of the door. The
Carriage drove off, the people became peace
able. If the constables had gone into the Hall
and shut the door, or had at once retired, the
jpeopie would have soon dispersed to their
homes. They had expressed their opinion
and i believe that was all they desired up to
that time.
But as soon as Sir Charles was safely hous
ed, and the carriages withdrew, the specials
collected into a solid mass, and made a des
perate rush into the crowd, in the direction
whence the stones had come. Their conduct
was truly ferocious. The people, unarmed,
tied in ail directions; many were struck down
and several severely bruised, and were sent
off to the. Infirmary. Loud cries of| ven
geance now arose, and many left the square
as I thought, to go home; but in about|ten min
utes they rushed through one of the avenues
fYotn the back, where they had been to arm
themselves with stones. Then followed a
desperate attack on the constables, who again
rushed out in a body, and Uwe down all be
fore them. Desperate blows were siruck on
both sides, and the large area of the square
had something the appearance of afield of a
battle. The mob succeeded in seperating two
or three constables from the rest, but they
contented themselves with disarming them,
and breaking their staves.
There was a good deal of skirmishing af
terwards, but nothing decisive till dusk, then
the mob has greatly increased, and the sail
ors and shipwrights had joined. A desperate
attack was now made on the constables, and
they were entirely defeated. Having cleared
the area before the Mansion house,they made
a more regular attack on the house itself.—
Two or three of ‘he magistrates attempted to
read the riot act, but were each time driven
in by a shower of stone®. Every pain of glass
was broken, and the door shivered to atoms.
Tbe mob got entire possession of the house,
but how the Mayor,Sir Charles and the Al
dermen escaped, unless by the roof of the
house, ih not known. Every room was search
ed with the most dreadful imprecations ; the
furniture and the panels of the room were
bre/ken to pieces,and the beautiful chandulier
in the banqueting room shared the same fate.
The dinner and the wines very soon disap
peared. In about half an hour a troop of the
8A l)r'goons robe into the square, and the of*
feei -efly nddr:■?-d the mob, entrent'ug
.b at rs?. They were received wi
loui eu i is. aid the crowd mg “ God >vc ,
the King.”
Towards, evening a part of the constables I
wore permitted to leave their posts tor a
short time, and tiie coitduc. of the mob there
upon became more furious. The Mayor pro-;
sented himself to read the riot act, liut was!
beaten back with stones. The ■ constables j
were furiously attacked, and some kilted. The i
Mansion Houso was then attacked.
About 12 o’olock at night a party of the ri- j
oters proceeded to the Council House, the ]
windows of which they instantly demolished, j
A body o l 'cavalry charged upon them, and
forced them to desist. The soldiers were as
sailed with stones, and some of the populace
shot. <>n Sunday morning the mob assembled
in gieat numbers in Queen square, and during
a time that the troops were withdrawn for rt
fri shments, they having been on duty tw enty
four hours, the inob entered the mansion
house, destroyed t; furniture and possessed
themselves of the wine in the cellars.
It is needless to say that the result was
fraught with the worst possible effects ; they
became madly infuriate, and regardless alike
of what mischief they committed, oi of what
risk they incurred. The scene at this mo
ment was of the most depraved description ;
all ages, of both sexes, were to be seen gree
d ly swallowing the intoxicating liquors,while
upon the ground the bodies of the scores were
to be found dead with drunkenness. The
troops were speedily replaced, but the infu
riate mob began to act on the olleiisive and
sought to ~rcuk their vengeance on them for
the wounds ihey had inflicted.
Tiie inob followed the troops pelting them
all the while with stones and other missiles,
till they reached tlv College Green, where
the soldiers again fireu on the people, wound
ed 7or 8 and killing one. During the rest of
the day there was no further mischief of mo
ment done by the mob, but in the lJridew 11,
which they broke into with sledge hammers,
and liberated the prisoners. They next pro
ceeded to the new Jail, a strong building
which cost £IOO,OOO.
When we heard of this movement, we re
garded any attempt on the prison as tlie wild
est scheme that could have been imagined;
hut wo lost no time in repairing to the spot.
The scene which there presented itself will
nc v* rbe effaced from our memory. Along
the N.vv Cut, in front of the goal, a dense
mass of the rioters had assembled ; and on the
opposite bank of the river, and indeed where
ever the eye could range, the people were
posted in thousands. The mob had already
■succeeded in forcing an entrance into tin
yard and the Governor’s house, and were busi
ly employed in throwing every paoveable arti
cle into the New River, and as the tide was
ebbing, all was carried off by the stream.—
The caravan, used for conveying the prisoners
to Guidball was launched into the water entire
and thither also.were consigned the Govern
ors’s hooks, and the apparatus.for constructing
the diop. The prisoners were now r< leased
and the scenes whtcli followed were beyond
description.
’The prison was then set on fire. The Toll
Houses were next set fire to and consumed,
then the Gloucester county prison was forced,
the prisoners liberated and the building,fired.
The mob next proceeded to the Bishop’s pal
ace, into which they forced an entrance, des
troyed its furniture, and set lire to the edifice,
which was soon consumed toasties.
All together, there have been completely
destroyed 12 dwelling houses, and warehous
es, exclusive of the Mansion House, Excise
House, Custom House, th four Toll Houses,
the three Prisons and the Bishop’s Palace.
Morning dawned on such a scene as had
never before been witnessed in this (dace. —
The flames, it is true, were subsided, but tbe
appearance of Queen square was appalling hi
the extreme.
Towards the evening, the flames in several
houses in the square broke out afresh, and
part of the pavement in King street was forced
up by the beat arising from some brandy
which was burning in the vaults beneath, but
the engines being in readiness, no further in
jury occurred. An attack on th< shipping
having been anticipated, the ship’s bells were
rang, signal puns were tired, and every thing
was prepared for an attack. The Earl of Liv
erpool was moored in the center of the river
and mounted with guns, an attack on her in
particular being expected ; but happily these
anticipations were not realized.
The total number of killed and wounded as
far as we have been able to ascertain, is as
follows—four men and one woman, a little
bov also who was shot through the bowels, is
not expected to recover ; fifty one other pir
sons, including four women, have also receiv
ed injuries, some of them severe ones, prin
cipally sabre wounds; a few in Consequence
of the parties leaping from the burning hou

INDUSTRY.
The Jews are said, during some periods,
at least of their existence as a people, to have
educated their children, universally, iu aetiva
business, and to have also adopted, proverbi
ally, aphorism that he who does not bring up
his chili! \o useful industry, brings him up to
be a heggar and a nuisance. It is fervently
wished that all Christian patents would adopt
the same maxim and thus prepare their chil
dren to become blessings both to themselves
and mankind. It lias been repeatedly obser
ved in these discourses, that industry and
economy are not natural to man, and cannot
only be established by habitation. These
habits must both be begun iu the morning of
life or there is iu danger that they never will
be begun successfully. As no man consist
antly with his plain duty,can be excused from
being industrious and economical himself; so
no man can be justified fora moment who
docs not effectually communicate both indus
try and economy to bis children. He who at
first, made labour the employment of man
kind ; ami who afterwards commanded to
gather up the fragments that nothing might /
be lost; will admit no excuse for the rn gleet j
of these duties, whether they respect our-j
selvi s, or our offspring. In this subject pa-j
rents iinrl children are equally concerned.— |
Both parents are bourn to teach their chil
dren; and thi ir children of Loth sexes, an
hound to ham to be industrious, and to k
economical; to lid up their time with useful i
employments; to methodise it, that it may!
be thus filled up; and to lc I that the loss of j
time, the neglect of talents, and the waste of
property, are all serious violations of their
duty to God. The parents are bound to in
spire, and the children to imbibe a contempt
and abhorrance for that silly worthless frivolity
to which so many children, of fashionable
parents, especially*.are trained; that sinful
waist of the golden Lours of life; that sickly
devotion to amusement; that shameful, pitia
ble dependence on trilling, to help them along
even tolerably, through their present tedious
dragging existences. Few persons are more
to be pitied, as certainly few are more to be
hi.dined, ttia those who find their enjoy merit
only in diversions; and cling to a ride, adar.ee
a visit, play, or a novel, to keep them from
sinking into gloom and despondence. In
dustrious persons, who spend their time in
( useful pursuits, are the only persons whose,
minds are s. retie, conU nted, and diet rful.—-
If we wish happiness for our children, then
j we carefully educate to an industrious life.

The Devil. —L)o not be alarmed, gentle
reader at the formidable name with which vs
commence the article; for he is said to tlv
from the face of the brave win n manfully re
sisted. We would only speak of him at pre
s. nt, however as a sort of “ Scape Gout” for
the Sins of printers. Some egregious blun
ders were committed in cur last paper. In
the adores* made by Maj. Penn, Speaker ol
the House of Representatives,.on taking the
G’hair, which wc published, he was made to
speak of the “ cohesion of your good opin
ion,” when it should have been “ continu
ance.” The word “ May” was also omitted
in the latter part of the address, before the
word “ eventuate,” to the manifest injury of
the sentence.
Mr. Lane offered a resolution proposing an
inquiry by the Judiciary Committee:, in o the
expediency of establishing a S 'parale Su
preme Court; hut in our paper the committee
on the State Bank was inserted in stead of
the Judiciary Committee. Now when these
errors were discovered, the writer of tins ar
ticle proposed as is usual, in such cases, to
lay the blame on the devil ; but our co-adju
tor insisted that tiie blame was was our ov. n,
and that wc were bound to ‘'give the devil
his due.” I remonstrated, contending that
it had been the tastuon, time out of mind,
for men to law the blame and burden of their
deeds on the old adversary ; and that it was
in a peculiar manner the privilege of prin
ters. 1 also intimated, m the true saint of a
modern politician, that there could he no
danger in this instance, as his Sulphuric
Highness belongs to the weal.er party, to
“go the whole hog” against him. But our
arguments did not prevail; so we will have to
let Old Nick slip for this time ; but let him
take care for the ruture.

our corn >n market!
Considering the immense business of the
Augusta Colton Market, it has frequently
been a matter of great surprise to us, that so
• little of regularity or system exists in the
j transaction ot it—that the most important
J means ol affording correct information, arc
| almost entirely neglected—that so many of
] the minor dealers so little understand’ the
, principles ot the business they are transact
i mg—and, indeed, that so much is left unrie-
Jecssarily to mere chance. It would seem to
us, that a continual strict comparison of Ei
i verpool prices, with those of our own mar-
I Let, and examination of the expenses of
-shipping, wharfage, dravage, loss of weight,
rale ot exchange, &c. Ac. between the two
markets, was a matt* r of the most vital im-
I portance ; and yet wo know from frequent
conversations, that these matters are van
j much neglected. And inconsequence there
j of, great losses have been, are, and w ill be,
sulfered ; which deeply allect, not only the
first losers, who thus pay for their rashness
and imprudence, but necessarily, thro’ them,
evi ry class of community, and the gem ral in
terest and prosperity of the whole "South. It
