RIOTS IN GERMANY: He. Ge. $e. The Caledonia was telegraphed at Boston on Thursday morning at half past 10, and arrived at the wharf at about 12 o’clock. She lett Liverpool on the afternoon of the 19:h, and has made the passage in less than 13 days. Cotton had declined one-eighth. The new churter of the Bank of England will be in full operation in the course of a few weeks from the present time. The part of the bill which most engages the attention in the monetary circles is, that more than seven millions of Bank of England notes are to be cancelled on or before so early a ime as the 10.h day of October. The packet ships reached Liverpool as follows: the Southerner, United States, end England, on the 6th; the Rochester, 11th; the Garrick, 12th. The Acadia arrived out on the 13:h, in 124 days from Boston. The business in Parliament during the past fort- night has displayed no particular interest, and the foreign und domestie intelligence has been unusual ly dull. The arguments oa the “ writ of error” are terminated, and the result must be shortly knowa, The opening of letters at the Post Office, under the warrants of the Secretary of State, is still the leading topic of the day. The subject has again been discussed in both Houses of Paritament, on the motions of Lord Radnor and Mr. T. Duu- tombe, for the appointment of select committees to inquire into the facis. The journals have supplied us with more specu- lations than facts relating to the increase of incen- diary fires, the instruments of which are at present mysteriously concealed; but the subiect is now as- suming that decidedly important and pressing cha- racter which will prevent it remaining much longer in statu quo. In the Commons, the Railway Bill, introduced by Mr. Gladstone, as the representative of Govern. ment, has consumed most time, and excited most attention; this bill is intended, to a certain extent, to place the superintendence of railways in the hands of Government. Letters from Athens, of the 26th, say that a sreat deal of agitation prevails among the people ot Athens, and that cries ar: heard in the streets, of “down with the ministers.” There has been a decrease in the revenue of Eng- land in the quarter ending July 5. Money was abundant in England. Eleven bodies have been recovered from the Manchester. The subject of the slave trade had been brovzht before the House of Commons by Lord Palmerston. The House of Lords had not come to any resul: on the State Pr.soners’ Trial. Mr. O’Connell has no hopes that the appeal will be successful. The English crojs, on the whole, look well. Wiwat has already been cut in Devonshire. _Mr. O'Connell is sinewdh himself in prison by ivtating a work, called “My Life and Times,” Mr. O'Neill aunt acting as his amanuensis. It ig estimated that the O’Connell tribute this yeat willreach £30,000. The present military force, in Ireland amounts to 26,000 men, independent of* enrolled Chelsea out- peusioners and armed police. Tue Inox Traps.—As an instance of the in- creasing briskness ofthe above trade, w% may mention that the shipping agent at Newport o1 a large establishment on the hille, in one day last week received, by post, advices of charter parties, for cargoes to be shipped. Pacer to 3,000 tons of rile iron. The rails are chie ly for Charles. ton, 8. C. A correspondent ot the Dublin Pilot says: ‘The Government has spies in every Catholic chapel in the country. The police have been ordered to re- ort every thing said by the priests about repeal. Beveral of the police have been dismissed for re- fusing to become spies and informers.” Biemineuam Exection.—An election of a mem- ber of Parliament for Birmingham, in place of Mr Scholefield, who died on the 4th inst., took place on Saturday last the 13th. The candidates were Mr. Scolefield, the late member’s son, Mr. Joseph Sturge, and Mr. Spooner, the latter gentleman being on the ministerial side, Mr. S urge, a complete sut- frage advocate, aud Mr. Scolefield, a whig, and a supporter ot the Anti-Corn Law League. Mr Spooner was elected by a majority of 360 votes; the numbers being—Spooner, 2,095; Scolefield, 1,735, Sturge, 346. Thomas Parr Gilmour, a near relative of the husband of the famous Mrs Gilmour, and himselt @ very notorious individual, has been found guilty at Edinburgh of assuming to be a partner of pre tended firms at Leith, and sentenced to one year’s imprisonment. The famous M. Hurter, former President of the Protestant consistury of Schaffhausen, has em- braced Catholicism. His abjuration of Protes- tanusm took glee With great ceremony at the chapel of the Cardinal Orsini at Rome. Boston, in Lincolnshire, which recently suffered severely by fire, has ulso suffered much the present season from drought. The wells were dried up, and the poor were for some time unable to obtain water suificient for the common purposes of life. The famvus Madame Castellan hus engaged with Rubini at the Italian Opera at St. Peters- burgh, together with the famous Mademoiselle Nissen, who won so much applause at the Paris italian Opera. a, } Stiudigl, the unrivalled basso, took his UE at tor Vienna, yesterday morning, (18th,) by the steamer Live;pool, to Ostend The great lucifer match manufactory of Mr. Wiulworih ia Dack Lane, Westminster, has been nearly destroyed by fire. Accouats from Wersaw state that the Emperor of Russia has grauted permission to a still larger number of exied Poles to return to their country, and enter again into the possessionof their proper- ty. Nearly all the colliers in the disaffected districts have returned to their work, having succeeded in but few instances in raising the price of wages. That famous ecclesiastical edifice, the York Minster, which has been closed for a long time for repairs, Was re-opened with most imposing ceremo- nies on Sunday the 7th July. Averious disturbance occurred at Bristolbetween some soldiers lutely returned from India, and the police. Several severe injuries were inflicted ; one of the policemen is dangerously, if not mortally wounded. 7 . 3 A fire broke eut in Algiers on the 20th ultimo, which destroyed property, a considerable portion of which belonged to the Government, to the amount of £52,000. A letter from Florence of the 26th of June, states that Prince Jerome Bonaparte has precipitately left that nae after long occupying one of the finest palaces of Florence, where he formerly held a sort of court, The prince’s sudden departure is attri buted to financial embarrassment, which it is im- possible for him to overcome at this moment. Atthe weekly meeting of theRepeal Association, on the Sih instant, Mr. Ef. Roche, M. P. for Cork, resided. He declared himself an ardent Repealer, jut disapproved of the proposition to coerce the Irish members who had not yet taken the Repeal pledge. i ‘The case of crim con., Roberts vs. Herdman,” withdrawn at the lest Tyrone Assizes, is entered for trial.

British House of Commons,Tuesday, July 16. Tue Stave Trape ann tHe Uniten Srares — Loyd Paumartson, in moving for sume returns of whith he nad given notice, entered at considerable length into the subject of the slave trade ; contend- ing that the measures which he had adopted for it -uppression had not been carried out by the present Government: indeed, that that odious traffic had iereased since he left office. The following ex- tract from his speech relates more immediately to the United Scates, and treats of a subject wh excited an intenge interest a year or two back :— “© We obtained treaties with nearly every American state except the United States. Additional treaties were perfected with some others of the powers of Europe. it was intended to move even further. When the treaty with France was signed, it con tained an article under which England and France agreed to make application to other European mar- ume powers to enter luto the contract. Applica- tion was made accordingly to Austria, Prussia, ano Russia, powers which signed the treaty of Aix-la- Chapelle, under which 1t was agreed that every discouragement should be afforded to slave traffic Well, these powers, in reply, said that they adhered to the conditions of the treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle ; but that, as a matter of etiquette, they would rather be contracting parties to a new treaty than to one already ratified between two foreign powers. Che English Goverament cordially entered into thi condition, and a new treaty was drawn up. We thought that the opportunity afforded us was a good one for correcting an omission in the treaty with France—an omission not of much importance ag itaffects the French flag, but of considerable consequence, as it affects the dings of other powers; that stipulation of the treaty, [ mean, by which the sphere of action is limited to a zone of 60 miles round Cuba, along the coast of Africa to Madagus- car, including, iudeed, all the coast from the lati- tude 15 degrees north to the latitude 10 degrees south. As regarded the new treaties, we proposed to. adopt the larger limits existing in the treaties with Spain and the Netherlands, limits which em- braced the entire coast of Africa and the seas ot the West Indies. The French government con- sented to the alteration, and we proposed to Aus- tria, Russia and Prussia, a treaty 80 drawn up.— Atter much discussion about minor details, 1t was agreed to on all sides, and when we were going out of office it was so far ready for signature that | believe only a few days were required for ita en- grossment. Two trifling points certainly remained in abeyance with Russia ; but they were points ov which't should have felt no difficulty in y:elding, and that done, aothing remained but to sign.— (Hear, hear.] In that case, the treaty might have veen ratified within two months, and it certainly would have been a great advantage, as uniting with Engiand and France three great powers, whose fluge are liable to be abused, though their subjects may ne ao parties to abuse them; but that wasnot the only wdject we nad in view. When this treaty was sig ed we istéuded to have proposed similar terms & every other Kuropean power, and, when all were agreed, we meant to go ina great European bod: to the Government of the United States, and os that Goverument to accede to a similar treaty to that which we ourselves had ratified. (Loud criet of “*Hear.”) I will not pretend to conjecture whar would have been the result of such a proceeding; but | think it fair to assume, at any rate, that when the United States saw all the powers of Europe throwing aside their jealousies, and petmitting their commercial navies to ke searched by the sip of other powers—I say, when we exhibited to ihe United States such a spectacle of confidence each other—such an abandonment of all selfish con- siderations for the attainment of a great and gene- rous purpose—I do think it fair to presume that the United States may have taken seme important step to wipe away the stain which now a taches itseli to their name. (Hear, hear.) Well, then, such was the state of affairs when the late Government relinquished power.” Sir R. Peel replied at considerable length, laying the whole blame of the continuance ct the slave trade on Spain and Brazil. All the other powers, he stated, had united for its suppression. ‘ France, Portugal, Denmark, (which, to the everlasting ho- nor of that nation, let me remark, was the first t renounce that intamous trade)—(hear)—Norway, Sweden, England, the United States, Austria. Prussia, Russia, all are Teady to co-operate with this view; but so long as the two powers which | nave named, oppose themselves to the general de- sire that the slave trade should cease, so Jong { am atraid no effectual progress can be made toward: tne accomplishment of that object. (Hear.) 1, however, here declare it to be my opinion that & heavy load of public guilt rests on the heads ot hose nations who derive a profit from this horrible trafic ; and I, moreover, assert it can be ay and indisputably shown that Spain and the Brazils are the only two Christian countries the governments or Fe ople of which derive any profit from the trade in human beings.” (Hear ) Tue Friecrro-Maanetic TeLecraru in ENG. tanp —Most of our readers have hearu of the elec- tro telegraph on the Great Western Railway, be- tween Paddington and Slough, a distance of 18 miles, by which any communication can be made from one point to the other, or to any in- termediate station, in an almost inapprecia- bly short space of time. Professor Wheatstone and Mr. Cooke, to whose ingenuity we are indebt- ed for this interesting and important application of electro magnetisin, have recently made an entirely new arrangement ot their telegraph, by which it has been greatly simplified, and possesses great ad- vantages over the formerone. tis now very por- table, and any person, after a few minutes observa tion, can send and receive a message through its medium. It requires merely a single pair of wiree, and from 40 to 5U letters, or signs, can be seat by it in tne course of asecond. The telegraph, with its accompanying alarum, is included ina case not larger than that of a smalltable clock. The tele- graphic communication is carried on by means ol conducting wires extending the whole length of the i '*e. understand that the electric telegraph on the Great Western Kailway has for the last few weeks been in great activity, and that in some days up- wards of a hundred messages have been transmit- ted. Most of these have reference to the traflic on the line, which of course would be materially aided on those days when many heavy and extra trains were requisite, by means of the telegraph. We give a few specimens of the nature of the mes- sages sent to and from the Paddington station. Slough, 618 P.M.—Send Mr. H— another train of empty carriages immediately ; we are in urgent want of them, Paddington, 6 20 P.M.—Mr. C—— cannot send any more, as there are no spare engines—not one. * * * * * Paddington, 7 10 P.M.—Has the up-train left Slough? bs _ Slough, 7 12 P.M.—Yes, but it was delayed some time.

The Lord Chan. cellor then propounded a series of questions to be answered by the Judges, whe requested time to consider them. Questions ProrounpEp For THE CONSIDERATION or tHe Jupexs.—1 Are all, or any, and if any, which of the counts in the indictment bad in law, so that, if such count or counts stood alone in the indictment, no judgment against the derendants could properly be entered upon them ? - 2 Is there any, and if any, what defect in the finding of the jury upon the trial of the said indict- ment, and inentering of such finding? é 3 Ig there any sufficient ground for reversing the indictment, by means of any defect in the in- dictment, or of the finding, or entering of the find- ings of the jury upon the said indictment? 4, Is there any sufficient ground to reverse the judgment by reason of the matters stated in the pleas in abatement, or any of them, or in the judgment upon such pleas? js 5 Is there any sufficient ground for reversing the indgment on account of the continuing the trial ir the vacation, or of the order of the urt for that purpose ? a i 6 Is there any sufficient grovn r reversing the judgment on account of the )) nent of the vallenge to of the mat- Court overruling and disallowing t the array, or any or either of them ters stated in such challenge ? 7 Is there sufficient ground to reverse the judg ment by reason of any defect in the entry of con- tinuances from the said trial to the 15th day of April, regard being also had to the appearances of the defendants on the said last named day % 8 Isthere any sufficient ground tu reverse or ry the judgment on account of the sentences, or any, oreither of them, passed on the respective dee tendants, regard being had particularly to the re- coguizances required, and to the period of impr:- sonment dependent on the entering into such re- cognizances ? 9 [s there any sufficient ground to reverse the judgment on account of the judgments in the as signments of error.coram nobis, or avy or either of them, or of the mattersstated in such assigumenis of error, or any oreither of them? S 10. Is there any sufficient gronad for reversing the judgment by reason of its not containing any entry as tothe verdicts of acquittal? 11. In an indictment consisting of counts A, B, G, where the verdict 3s guilty of all generally, and the counts A Bare good, and the count C is bad, the judgment being, that the defendants, for the offences atoresaid, be fined and imprisoned, which judgment would be sufficient, in point of law, if coutined expressly to counts A aud B, can such judgment be reversed on a writ of error? Willit fake any difference whether the punishment be discretionary, a8 above suggested, or a punishment fixed by law? This morning, (Dublin, Ua) 16) the Earl and Countess De Giey took their departure from thie country amid every demonstration of personal re- spect and esteem that could be shown to a just, 4 popular governor, and akind and charitable lady Ali the disposable forces in this garrison were sta- nonee along the route by which their Excellencies passed. ‘ : Itis expected that Lord Heytesbury will arrive in Dubiin on or about the 20th instant. It ia a most gratifying fact, whatever the causes may be, that the country is, and has beeu for some time, in the enjoyment of the most perfect state o1 revose known in frish history. Already the judger have opened some half dozen commissions; and every where, as far as they have gone, they are congratulating the grand juries on the Jightness of the calenders Judge Bull, at Ennis, and Baron Richards, at Wextord, congratulated them on the unexampled tranquility and moral state of thei counties. In Carlow, Chief Justice Doherty ob served that, in the whole of his experience, he had seldom seen a lighter calendar. {0 the County Louth the Chief Baron used nearly similar terms of approbation.

The Belfast mail received in town thir morni..g, contains accounts from nearly all parts of Ulster, all agreeing in the peaceable and order- ly manner that yesterday, the 12th of July, was observed. The usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Asso. ciation was held this day, July 15. The new mem- ver for Limerick, Mr. Kell _was voted to the chair. He availed himself of his elevated position to flesh his maiden sword,” which he did very much to his own satisfaction, and that of the twelvepenny associates who crowded the fluor of the Conciliation Hall. Mr. Roche, M.P., Mr. Henry Grattan, and some other vehement orators, took part in the proceed- ings of theday. ‘The week’s rent was announced to be £1,638. It was generally expected that the opinion of the judges, in the case of the Queen vs. O’Connell and others, would have been read in the House of Lords this morning, (18th instant,) but such was not the case. No mention was made of it during the morn- ing, afid we understand it 1s not likely that the de- cision of the judges will be given until the conclu. sion of the circuits. Troors tn Insuanp.—A letter, it is nid, hasbeen received by the Cominander of the Forces from the Horse Guards, inquiring if it would be safe to withdraw some of the troops from Ireland, the mil- itary force there being 26,700 men, exclusive of ten thousand police and twelve thousand pensionere, well armed and equipped. The reply was, that it would be unsafe to do so until O’Connell’s release from prison. France. The “donation bill,” and the various railroad schemes and enterprises, seem to be the most im- portant subjects now occupying the attention of the French people. Paris, July 16.— Our accounts this morning from the provinces are very disastrous. In many parts the corn crops have been laid beyond hope of reco- very by the heavy rains, and the fruit is rotting on the trees for want of sun to ripen it, As to Pare, nothing can be worse than the weather that we have, and disease is very prevalent. There are more pulmonary cases than in the depth of winter. Lyons and its environs were visited on the night ot ‘ _ | the 4th bya sort of extraordinary violence; the Slough, 3 51.—Tell Mr. C—— that the returning | rain feii in torrents, and the hail was so large, that in several houses nearly ail the windows were at the four! broken. In and near the Palace Louis XVIII, sev- eral trees were broken, and more than 300 birde, which were killed by the hail, were found on the Ground the uext morning. In the Faubourg of the Croix Rousse the damage was very great, and some buildings are said to have been destroyed by the wind and rain Many of the crops near Lyons are entirely ruined. t After the return of M. Berryer at Marseilles as Deputy for the Bouches du Rhone, after his resig- nation of his seat in consequence of the note of Censure upon him and others for going to London to pay their court to the Duke de Bordeaux, there was aconsiderable riot, in which cries of “Vive Berryer!” “Vivent les Fletris!” ‘A bas Louis Phillippe!” were vociferated. The police arrested several of the most prominent of the rioters, who. however, were afterwards rescued by the populace mt armed force coming up, the assemblage was ispersed, but afterwards four of the men who had distinguished themselves by their vociterations and acts ot violence. were retaken, and on the 2st brought before the Court of Assizes to answer for their conduct. The only witnesses against them were the police agents, and all ot them denied the facts inaputed to them, except one, who admitted that he cried “A bas 1 ouis Phillippe !’? without knowing the meaning of what he said. The Jury acqvitted them and they were discharged.— Galig- nant. The Lyons papers say that pexaral persone have been arrested, charged with a Fieschi plot againss the authorities of that place Several grenades were found in their possession, with which it is said they intended. by a single discharge, to destroy the General in command, the Mayor, and the Prefect, when coming out of the church of St. Joho, after the solemn mass of the Ist of May. The report of the committee on the new Cus- toms Bill was yesterday distributed tothe Depu: ties. It pronounces the commercial treaties with England and the United States to have been in- jurious to tne mercantile navy of France, and re- commends as a remedy new treaties with Belgium, Sardinia, Southern Africa, Southern America, and such other nations as may offer good mar- kets for French produce. The committee ob serve that the treaty with Belgium, concluded in 1842, has not brought any advantuge to the wine aud silk trades of France, particularly since the same advantages have been granted by Belgium to the wines and silks of Germany. The committee declares that it would see with satisfaction the old duties on the threads and linen of Belgium restored The treaty with Sardinia not yet being brought into execution, the committee confines itself to upprov- ing it, inasmuch as it lowers the duties on French wines and brandies, und establishes a system of re- ciprocity betwee the literary publications of thr two countries.— Galignani’s Messenger. Horripte Scene at an Execurion.—On the 8th inst. Pierre Leseure, who was accused of the murder of bis father, but not brought to trial for want of sufficient evidence, and who hassince beer condemned to death for making away with his cle, was executed at Riom (Puy-de-Vome ) The circumstances attending the execution were most horrifying. Being a man of herculean strength, he was bound in prison with an unvsuul weight of chains. It required at least halfan hour for the smiths to unrivet them. Lescure was much weak- ened by his confinement, and assistance was offer- ed to him in walking to the scaffoid, but he declin- edit, and went forward, and even ascended the ladder with a firm step. Fearing resistance, the executioners of St. Flour and Moulins were ealled in to aid the executioner of Riom. When Lescure appeared on the platform his tall and athletic person towered above them and the priest who attended him. Unfortunately he was not bound with sufficient force to the swing board, which also was too short for his length, 80 that his neck went beyond the groove, and the axe, when loosened, fell on the wood of the frame, anc only wounded its intended victim. Upon this the executioner from St. Flour got astride on the head of Lescure, but the convict struggled from the grasp, and, breaking his bands, rose again, with his shoulders and breast covered with his blood, bir face flushed, and his eyes haggard, uttering cries that struck terror to the heart of every spectator. The priest approached the wretched man, and presen to him the image of Christ on the cross. succee by hisexhertavions in prevailing on him to again subsnit to be bound. Again the axe fell, and agwin missed its matk, only enlarging the first wound. Lescure’scries became still more astound- ing ‘The people shouted with indignation, and pressing round the scatlold, were on the point o) overcoming the gendarraerie in attendance, while the priest, whore sur lice-was covered with blood, embraced and did all in his power to cunsole anc calm the mutilated man. 3 The three executioners were for a time com- pletely paralyzed; but at last one of them mustered resolution enough to fix the devoted head in a pro per position, and the axe, already streaming wih blood, fell a third time and completed its tack. the three executioners are, itis said, to be dis missed from their offices.—Galignani.

The royal family of Naples ts expected at Barcelona, and the Cortes are to be dissulved forthwith. | ; , The Peninsula continues comparatively quiet, yet there are various causes of discontent still rif at Barcelona, and various military precautions de- noted that the authorities apprehended some dis turbance. The official prints labor to appease the general uneasiness, but their language betrays their nelief that some political event of great moment will soon be heard of. The opposition papers duly record the reports afloat. The Expectador, among hers, expresses great alarm at a concentration o} troops 10 the district of Cadiz, on pretence of ex- ecuting wrand manceuvres, and it adds the report that troops are also to be arsembled at Madrid, Barcelona, and other capitals of provinces. The MadridGazette ot the Ist contains the fol- lowing revolting summary of the executions in on- ly one district ot Catolonia :—‘Between the lat of February and the 15th of June, the ‘faction’ in the viaestrazzo have sustained the fullowing losses:— Killed on the field of batile, 54 men; shot, after be- tng made prisoners, 120 mén; pardoned, for various reasons, 107. Among the prisoners shot, are the chiefs El Serrador, Viscaro, Lauva, and Taso; Marehal and his lieutenant, Pilareen, Cotarro and nis second, Martinez El Serano, Taranques, and Galo de Oleon; and 25 generals or officers, includ- ing one colonel, one commandant, three captains, and thisteen lieutenants. Since the 29h of May, 14 spies and 19 officers, coming from France, and @ certain number of domaniers who had joined the bands, have beenshot General Don Juan de Vil- talonga, has, by his energetic activity, not a little contributed to this result.” | i Our accounts from Madrid are to the 10th inst.

Italy The Gazette d’Augsburgh of the 10th, contains a long communication, giving an account of the plans formed by the Italian. conepirators; one part of which, that relative to Naples, has so recently fail- ed in@alabria. The main point explained, is that a grand conspiracy existe, which had its agents at Vienna, Paris, and London, .principa'ly the latter, for uniting all the diflerent states of Italy into one great government—whether royal or republican was left for future consideration. The Pope and the church were to be dismantled, the King of Na- ples sent adrift, the several dukedoms dispensed with, and the King of Lombardy treed trom Aus- trian authority; in short, the great governinent of Italy was to be established. The first attempts at revolution were to be made at Bologna and at Ca- labria; but both failed, because the persons who had undertaken to advance money in England de clined to fulfil their engagements A correspondent writes on the 4th inst.” from Ko- logoa:—‘*A third sentence has been pronounced by the court-martial upon more ot the persons com- promised in the political events of thi: province in the political events of this province in 1843.

Riots 1n THe Manuracrurine Districts. —The riots which took place in the early part of June in Silesia have been followed by cate in Prague ; and commissions are sitting 10 both districts to ex- ploie the real causes of these excesses. [rom the various accounts from those districts these causer are pretty plainly excessive lowness of the price of labor, and, to a great ext-nt, utter want of work For a jougperiod the distress among the hand toom linen weavers has been dreadful. ‘Chis har now extended itself to the cotton epinners, and the description of the appearance of these workpeople; the formerly simple, peaceful, and industrious, anc happy inhabitants of the Silesian valleys, is heart- renaing.

Brfore Christmas soime distur- bances took place—the distress has gone on increa- sing. On the one hand the formidable competition ot England; on the other the strict closing of the trade across the frontiers with Russia, has wo! length brought the people to desperstion. They attributed all their miseries to the introduction of machinery, and accordingly against that they turned their fury. Collecting in a mase of more than a thousand, they marched wiih a white cur- tain torn from » window,aod hoisted on a pole as » ‘uaner, and to the singing of a soug which had long been sung in the district to express their injuries, inte the pepulous inavulacturing villages of Peterswaldau and Langenbir lau, where they attacked the chief factories, those of Messrs. Zwanziger, Hibert, anc Andritzky, and Dierig. Atteinpts were made to torn away their fury by the distribution of money, hut, in most caees, in vain. The fury of the rioters was terrific. Windows, roofs, machinery, furnt ture, all met with one common destruction. The stores of yarn, indigo, manufactured goode, spi dies, &c., were all carried out and flung into the millstreams. During four and-twenty hours tha: itreqnired to getan order trom Bresjau for the employment of military, this work of demolition and plunder went on. The soldiers, on their arri val, fired on the mob, and killed thirteen o1 the spot, besides weunding many others.— The rioters then fled to the hills ano woods, whence the soldiers hunted them out Upwards of a huudred were conveyed to the pri son at Schweidniz. The Prince Adalbert of Prus sia hastened to Breslau to ascertain the real fact: f the case. There, also, the mob manifested » disposition to the same excesses; broke the street lamps, and the windows of the houses, end of the Reformed Charch. No sooner did the news arrive to Prague than the cotton-spinners also assemble« on the 17th and 18:h of June, and detmolished the machinery of the factories, to which they attribu ted the lowness of their wages and their conse- quent miseries. All these excesses, except thosr at si all ae have been attended without los: of life. Thus Germany is beginning to taste some o/ the sours a6 well as the sweets of the manu facturing system. With all their ambition to become a great manufacturing power, anc to make themselves independent of us, it is plain hat, spite of our cora laws and excessive taxes, hey find it a severe contest with us; and if these things “are done in the green tree, what will be done in the day?” If these mizeries stare them is the tace in the youth of their manufactures, what may they expect when they have converted mil- jions of their laborers into spinners? It is a pros- pect that may well inspire the most serious reflec tions. In the meantine, the manufacturers raise « loud ery for fresh import duties, not only on our fabrics but on our yarns. Till they can make their own yarns, they assert that they cannot fair- ly compete with ns, as they lose the profit on the tnanufacture of those yarus. To effect this object fresh duties must be imposed both on webs ano varns. This now will be the vehement cry on the Zollverein and this our manutacturers must expect, for nothing leas than this can remove the dreadfu: misery that haunts the once happy Silesian valleys, or, indeed, save from premature decay the manu- facturing system of Germany.—London Atlas. Holland, The Staats Courant, of the 14th instant, says: “We print with all speed a supplement to our jour nal! with the project of law for introducing a new tariff of duties on :mportation, and traneit, rccom- panied with the explanatory memorial, which, os we have already stated, hasbeen sent to the mem- bers of both chambers of the States General, and which will be laid before the States General at the opening of the next session.” This tariff fills 26 columns of the Staats Courant.
