Disturbance at Ramsbury
A body of labourers yesterday morning having struck for an advance of wages, as express was sent off to Marlborough about eleven o'clock, for the assistance of a troop of Yeomanry cavalry. The troop immediately mustered, and went to Ramsbury, where they met about 50 or 60 labourers, who were on the point of going from farm to farm to induce other labourers to join them. They were, however, instantly dispersed, having first secured 3 of the ringleaders, who have been since conveyed to Marlborough gaol.
Incendiarism.
A very extensive fire, evidently the work of an incendiary, broke out between one and two o'clock on Saturday afternoon last, on the premises of Mr[s].Wallis of Chitterne, near Heytesbury. A barley rick, situated in a large yard, and surrounded by a number of other ricks, was fixed upon as the best means of carrying the fiendish intentions of the perpetrator into effect. The fire it is supposed was discovered as its commencement: but within a few minutes afterwards the rick formed one entire sheet of flame. There was a strong breeze at the time, and the fire spread with frightful rapidity to the adjoining ricks. Messengers were despatched to Warminster, Heytesbury and Knook, for engines: but during the time that necessarily elapsed before their arrival, the destruction of property was immense. - Several respectable farmers, who were attending Warminster market, upon hearing of fire, immediately took their horses and hastened to the spot, uniting their exertions with those of the labourers and others of the neighbourhood, to prevent an extension of the flames; and three engines were kept for a considerable time in constant play. Notwithstanding this assistance, 2 barley ricks, 2 wheat ricks, a hay rick, 3 barns, (on a staddle barn) some stables recently built, and two cottages with every vestige of furniture, were entirely consumed. A flock of sheep was in the yard, for the purpose of lambing, and it required the greatest exertions to remove them. A quantity of poultry flew into the flames, and became an instant prey; and two pigs were burnt to death. There were 9 quarters of barley in barn, which the labourers endeavoured to save by removing to 3 waggons, but the flames were too rapid: the waggons and barley were consumed. A 3d wheat rick, was at one time on fire, but several of the persons present, at great personal risk, tore the sheaves from the rick and threw them into some waggons. It was with great difficulty, however, that the wheat and the waggons were ultimately saved. Mr.Wallis is a widower, with 9 children; and we regret to hear the property is but partially insured.
[A Correspondent, who does not favour us with his name, attributes the fire to an accident].
On Tuesday evening, two farm houses, and 8 cottages were wantonly set fire to, and were consumed at Steventon, two miles from Abingdon. One man has been apprehended on suspicion of being concerned in perpetrating this dreadful crime.
During the time the Jury were deliberating on their verdict, at the late Wilts Quarter Sessions, one of our worthy County Magistrates amused himself by writing the following:
Meetings on the subject of Parliamentary Reform are in contemplation in all parts of the country. We hear that the Mayor of Old Sarum has called a meeting of the inhabitants of that highly respectable borough, for the 1st of April; similar meetings are appointed to be held on the same day by the numerous electors of Gatton, Bramber, Bleechingly, Marlborough, Ludgershall, and various other places. The highly respectable Mayor of Malmesbury has been induced to decline calling a meeting on this subject, in that borough, from the fear that, in the course of the discussion, the public would become acquainted with a most distressing circumstance; namely that many of the leading burgesses in that Corporation had received parish relief, under the title of alms. We hear the reason why so few public meetings have been held in this borough of late, is, that it is many years since they have had a mayor that could either read or write.
Henry Potter has been committed to our Old Bridewell, charged with stealing a pony from a field at Chiverall, the property of Mr.Robt.Pearce.
From a Correspondent - The musical entertainment at the Bear Inn, on Tuesday evening, attracted a select , though, we regret, not numerous audience. The style of Mrs.Trevena's singing must please the most fastidious : her voice is powerful, and full of sweetness, she executed the several songs allotted to her in a superior manner, and that delightful song "The Light Guitar" was rapturously encored. The performances of Miss Trevena, and interesting child of the greatest promise, and of Messrs.Trevana and Martino, gave universal satisfaction, and proved an agreeable variation to the amusements of the evening. Mr.Trevana, we understand, is a native of this town, his father having been for many years a most respectable inhabitant, and we trust that the entertainment which is announced for tomorrow evening will be not only "respectably," but "fully" attended. It is decidedly deserving of patronage.
One of the subscribers to the Salisbury Volunteer Infantry describes himself as a "friend to the maintenance of peace and order without bloodshed."

TEA.
To the Inhabitants of Devizes, and its Vicinity.
The extraordinary statements which have been so industriously circulated by Messrs.Bennett and Co. seem to require some notice. If, in the commencement of a new concern, the proprietors act upon the principles of the fair trader, there the matter ends. The world is open to undivided or associated enterprise, and the public must and will judge for themselves. But it is rather too much for a number of tradesmen, of unblemished reputation, to be charged with having cheated the public; and for the public to be told that they have been "duped" by the trade. What credit can be due to the statements of any persons, who wish to establish their reputation by vilifying the character of their neighbours ? I believe that nothing upon earth can be more false, than the assertion that the people of Devizes have not been supplied with good Tea, and that they have never had the article direct from the India House; and, although I am not engaged in the trade, or connected with it, yet I think it right to say, on the behalf of a class of honorable tradesmen, who have been most wantonly maligned, that they shall still have my custom, and they shall still have it upon the sole conviction that I shall be better served than by those persons who have been at so much pains to destroy their well earned reputation.
An Old Inhabitant.
Devizes, March 3s, 1831.
Now Open to the Public.
The Wiltshire County TEA
WAREHOUSE, Brittox, Devizes.
Bennett and Company beg to announce to the inhabitants of Devizes, and its populous Neighbourhoods, the plan on which this Establishment is conducted; namely, a trifling advance on cost, for Ready Money.
That a Tea concern of this nature has long been wanting in Devizes, must be apparent to all, as a proof they need only appeal to the experience of every Family who, from necessity, purchase their Teas of those in the general trade in Devizes.
The causes of complaint are not only the high prices of the old credit system, but the inferior quality of the articles Sold. These two evils they propose to do away with, by selling Teas of the best quality, at a small profit on the East India Company's sale prices.
Those who have to provide for large families, and wish to lay out their money to the best advantage, will now have an opportunity; for, by selecting and purchasing the strongest and richest flavoured Teas, and clearing them direct from the East India Company's Warehouses, Bennett and Company will be enabled, and are fully determined, to give the inhabitants of this town and district, the combined advantages of superior quality, and cheapness of price.
They, therefore, solicit the patronage of all consumers of Tea, convinced that the system now introduced to public notice, need only be tried, to prove its decided superiority.
Their Stock will be extensive, consisting of the following variety :
|
|
| s | d |
| Black Tea, lowest price | 3 | 10 |
| Prime strong Congou | 4 | 8 |
| A very good strong substantial breakfast Tea (much in request) | 5 | 0 |
| Superior very strong full Sonehong flavoured (the leading article in demand) | 5 | 4 |
| Rich and full Pekoe flavour very strong (materially more economical to the consumers, and generally more approved than Souchong) | 6 | 0 |
| Souchong | 7 | 0 |
| Fine Souchong (Company's marked "Lap Seng" has no equal for exquisitely fine flavor) | 8 | 0 |
| Pekoe rich full flowery | 10 | 0 |
| Green Tea lowest price | 4 | 6 |
| Good Twankay | 5 | 0 |
| Strong ditto, bloom flavour | 5 | 4 |
| Very good curled leaf | 6 | 0 |
| Fine with Hyson flavour | 7 | 0 |
| Genuine Hyson | 8 | 0 |
| Very Fine | 9 | 0 |
| The best, full with Whangee flavor | 10 | 0 |
| Young Hyson, or Onchaine | 10 | 0 |
| Gunpowder Poutesan kind, the finest | 12 | 6 |
Coffee.
All Coffees sold by Bennett and Company, will be roasted by a new and improved Apparatus, which has the advantage over the old system, of being evenly roasted.
The following list will be found to answer the descriptions :
|
|
| Plantation Coffee | 1 | 2 |
| Superior Jamaica ditto | 1 | 4 |
| Very fine Berbiee ditto | 1 | 6 |
| Finest ditto, rich mellow flavour | 1 | 8 |
| Choice Bourbon or Java, rich aromatic flavour | 2 | 0 |
