MA&mt AgTOBmgKDMBi Ml AWBaOTOWBAtti iUTID. jMKßgjjAgfgglbffi I Oil H, Y 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 -81 s. • B \UUKTW 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. ! Dwight's Sermons. | 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.

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.
