LONDON.
MONDAY, JUNE 1.
The RIOTERS.- The business of the special Commission has ended by the Judges passing sentence of Death on fourteen prisoners at Lancaster, and sixteen at Chester; besides which, a great many have been sentenced to be transported, and others to be imprisoned for different terms. - On the whole, upwards of 100 families are deprived of their natural protectors, and nearly 1000 individuals reduced to the most abject state of poverty, by the measures of severity which Government was compelled to resort to, after every lenient method had been tried in vain, in order to restore the peace of the country and bring back the deluded followers of these ring leaders in mischief to a sense of their duty. - May the awful lessen have its due effect on the labourers in every manufacturing district ! may they ever recollect that the mild Government of Britain delighteth not in Vengence; that of the Legislature of their country, when properly addressed, will ever attend to their complaints, and redress, as far as possible, all their real grievances; but if they resort to acts of violence, whatever expectation they may have of impunity from the number of their adherents, the strong arm of the Law must inevitably fall on them, - their own destruction and the ruin of their families must ensue:- however it may be lamented, the security of property, - and the peace of Society at large require the sacrifice, and therefore it cannot be averted.
On Monday last one of the most terrible accidents on record, in the history of collieries, took place at Felling, near Gateshead, Durham, in the mine belonging to C.J. Brandling, Esq. the Member for Newcastle, which was the admiration of the district for the excellence of its ventilation and arrangements. Nearly the whole of the workmen were below, the second set having gone down before the first came up, when a double blast of hydrogen gas took place, and set the mine on fire, forcing up such a volume of smoke as darkened the air to a considerable distance, and scattered an immense quantity of small coal from the upper shaft. In the calamity, 93 men and boys perished, the remains of 86 of whom remained in the mine on Tuesday, which then continued unapproachable. Meetings are to be called at Newcastle, and the neighbourhood, to raise subscriptions for the widows and orphans of the sufferers.
On Friday last a Lady's maid in a family on Ham Common had some friends from London to call on her, with whom she went to Ham Fair. A footman in the family had previously declared that if she took the arm of any man he would shoot her. The girl disregarded this threat, and walked some time resting on the arm of one of the company. On her return home, the moment she entered the footman discharged a pistol at her, loaded with slugs; she received the charge chiefly in her arm, but her head and side are also injured; it is however expected that she will recover. The footman was seized, and lodged in Kingston Gaol.
On Saturday morning Mr. Burrowes, a hay salesman, residing in the village of Appleton, near Harrow, was suddenly attacked in his chaise, near his own house, by one Bowler, a neighbouring farmer, who discharged a blunderbuss at him, loaded with slugs, and lodged the contents in Mr. Burrowes's neck and body. Bowler then rode off. The parties had lately quarrelled, but appeared to be reconciled. When Mr. Burrowes perceived Bowler's intent, he begged that he would not shoot him, but the villain was inexorable, on which Mr. Burrowes stooped down in his chaise, which prevented his being killed on the spot. Bowler was formerly a smuggler, and has taken with him a large sum of money. He was irritated by Mr. Burrowes observing, that "he was not fit to live in the parish." The wounded man is yet alive, and there are hopes of his recovery.
Wednesday's and Thursday's Posts.
A singular instance of overstrained power of imagination occurred at Torpoint, a small village opposite Plymouth, on Tuesday last. For three weeks before, Robert Harries, a Calvinist, residing there, had disturbed the place frequently with loud rantings and declarations, that he should die between twelve and one o'clock in the night of Tuesday last, and so thoroughly were the lower classes of the people assured of the truth of his presentiments, that at the appointed time, a crowd collected round his door, in awful expectation of his anticipated decease. So much was the wretched victim of credulity overcome by a conviction of death, that he lay for several hours after his time of warning, as he termed it, in an insensible state; but life, it seems, would not depart to please him, and by surviving the appointed hour, he was convinced of the fallacy of his foolish prophesy. During his preparations for death, he covered several sheets of paper with farrago of the most ridiculous absurdities, the most prominent feature of which was the certainty of his own salvation.
Master John F. Hope, son of John Hope, Esq. of Harley-street, was drowned on Wednesday in the River Thames, near Eaton. He was amusing himself in a skiff near the bridge, with some other Eton Scholars, when he fell out of the boat into the water, and so much time elapsed ere the body could be recovered, that the vital spark was wholly extinct.

The Purse was captured about four months since by the Niemen, of 36 guns, Capt.

AT a numerous and respectable Meeting of the BROAD and NARROW CLOTH WEAVERS of the counties of Wilts, Somerset, and Gloucester, held at the Horse and Groom Inn, at Trowbridge, in the county of Wilts, the following Petition having been read and unanimously approved of, has since been presented to most of the Manufacturers of the different counties:-
The humble Petition of the Broad and Narrow Weavers of the counties of Wilts, Somerset, and Gloucester,
To their employers, most humbly sheweth that whereas for several years past every article of provisions, and of consumption therein, has advanced in price, and of late to an enormous degree, and still continues, without any hope at present of there being any alteration for the better, insomuch that, with full employment and a great curtailment of necessary food, your petitioners are scarce able to maintain their families.
Your petitioners presume it is not unknown to you, that, in consequence of the above unprecedented price of all provisions, that the labouring people in most branches of mechanics and husbandry have had an advance in their wages, to enable them, in some measure, to meet the pressure of the present times.
Your petitioners humbly represent to you, that, for the last twenty-five years, no alteration has been made in the price per yard of their labour; in fact, one class of the narrow branch (white cassimere) is less per yard than it was before that period, notwithstanding provisions have for the last ten years been gradually advancing, and within the last year most enormously so ; and certainly our employers knowing the wages per yard reasonable when provisions were not above half the present price, therefore our employers of the present day must allow the burthen to lay on us very heavily; and in addition to this, we are obliged to pay more for spooling, warping, and quill winding, without any extra allowance, which reduces our wages still more.
Your petitioners, with all humility, pray you to make such moderate advance (per yard) of wages, on the different assortments of the broad and narrow classes, that are usually made, so far as humanity, generosity, and the pressure of the times, may lead you to think fit.
Your petitioners, in the fullest sense of the word, deprecate every idea of dictating combination, riot, or tumultuously turning out from their labour; the truth of the above statement, and the justice of the cause, will, they trust, plead in their behalf.
Your petitioners hope, by their coming forward in this just and reasonable manner, in behalf of themselves and fellow-workmen, that they will not be marked by their employers as objects of their resentment, but that the prayer of their petition may be granted; and most humbly pray that you will take their petition into your most serious and early consideration, and your petitioners will, as in duty bound, ever pray for your prosperity.
