AGRICULTUILIL DESTURILIACES. (From time Nouwien Comma.) We regret to state, that several places in this county continue in a very disturbed state. On Nit'. day morning about 300 persons,prineipally labourers, assembled, and commenced breaking threshing ma chines in the parishes of Wicklemma], Morley, &c. and about two o'clock in the afternoon they arrived at Attleboro', where, as in other places, they com pelled ninny to join their company ; they then pro ceeded in search of machines, but found only one in that place, which was instantly destroyed BY this time their numbers were greatly increased. From Attleboro' they marched to Shrophatu and Snetter ton, where they broke tour or five machines, and, in consequence of the opposition they experienced at the former place, a drill also. Oa their return, in formation was given that a threshing machine was secreted on the premises of NI r. W. Parson, of At tleboro', they theredime proceeded thither, and tinted the object of their search under a straw stack, which they took, dragged to the market-place, and imme diately demolished. The magistrates, wishing to adopt some efficient measures to put a stop to such proceedings, requested many inhabitants of the neighbouring parishes to meet at flailing on Tues day morning, where they were joined by time Eye troop of horse, and after having passed through Backenham, Burnham, Sac, halted at Ault:LA.o'; after being there about an hour, information arrived that the machine. breakers were assembled at New Buckenham—the troop, with a vast number of horsemen, proceeded thither, and succeeded in tak ing twenty, seven of whom were committed to Wy snontilutin Britlewell the same evening.—lt seems there arc several parties of these misguided linen a'amt, and their whole object appears to be the en tire destruction of threshing machines. The following is the copy of a Proclamation issued by the county magistrates assembled at Norwich : •• The Magistrates assembled at the adjourned sessions on Wednesday, March 6, I have, with considerable pain, re • etived evidence of a riotous disposition exhibited in some in- SZULCCS by actual outrage in various parts of the county. The eitcamstanets, matte known to many of them precious to this day, have induced measures of precaution, which will assuredly be thund eflinittud flu the suppression of tumult. But, anxious as the magistrates fael in the discharge of their duty to avoid the axe-city of resorting to the force with which they are armed fur file preservation of the pence against a misguided populace. they desire to offer, in the folly) of timely remonstrance, a few re n;arlic deserving of attention:— •• If grievances exist; do time persons concerned in the riotous proceedings before alluded to suppose that they can be remedied by violence ? Tu what possible beneficial result can their pro (ceilings tend ? To what hare they tended in other parts of the country, but to the lo,s on many valuable lives, and a curtail ment of British liberty •• Let the pcaple beware of ball adviscts—those who may pretend to sympathize in their alledged grievances, for the par pose of exciting them to acts of mischief, in the punishment for which the instigatois generally take care to have no participation. Let them be assuied that it is equally wicked and unwise to re • stst the law ; wicked in principle, and unwise in practice,, be e—use int:actual to any good purpose. By order of the t' curt, • COPE MAN, Lie k of the Peace. The spirit of insubordination still shows itself in the neighbourhood of Diss, by assemblies to the number of some hundreds of labourers, or we should rather say, we fear, of such as arc in want of labour, fur the purpose of stopping the use of machines. The deluded persons wino set fire to the hay stacks in Diss 3 few nights since, wh'eh caused so much slam, have surrendered themselves, and arc now in Nnwich Castle; and on Mo:nday last three men were committed to the same prison, on suspicion of assisting to destroy two or three threshing machines, in the parish of IVymoudham, on Saturday night. A gasometer is now prepar:ng at the general post office, to furnish gis tbr the use of that establish ment. It is said that the charge for oil annually, for tl:e &Dee, is between and 0,0001. of which sum Government expects to save nearly ;2,0001. by the sabstitution of gas. The estimate tbr the whole anaratus was stated originally at about 130 Ml. but t i 3 supposed that it will at • slit to nearly 20001. A gentleman has recently found, and proved by a series of successful experiments, that the dark peat moss of Scotland produces gas nut infmiur in quan tity and quality to that extracted from coal, possess ing the additional and valuable advantage of being in a great measure free from that noxious eflluviam emitted by gas produced from the latter material. The tar obtained by the process may be applied to several us.ful purposes, while the coke is adapted to the furnaces of brewers, distillers, and smelters of ores, &c. The same gentleman, b; a cheap and simple preparation of the muss, gives it a consistency and durabdity not inferior to that of coal, and by this means renders it not only valuable us a fuel, but improves its aptitude and capability of producing gas. A beautiful statue of his late Majesty, George the Third, is now under the chisel of Air. Chantry, sho, we believe, sculptured the admirable statue in the Council-room, Guildhall. This celebrated artist I.a.s received instructions from the highest authority tt, spare no expellee in the execution of this work, mhich is expected to be a worthy tribute to the memory of our late Sovereign, and the best modern sl teitnen of British taste. albralw.e. - THE NATION. ,T., REGISTER ____ 292•1 g 211tgittatlite.
