MOBS IN ENGLAND.
An latcreitlnc Historical Sketch.
Tbe disturbance In London and Birmingham
give Immediate interest to historical sketch
which appears in the. last Dumber ot the Cornhill,
concerning the mobs of England :
The earliest mob of any note in the eighteenth
century was in the reign of Queen Anno, in the
year 1709. At that ttrue tbe Queen of England
lad grown immensely popular with the Knalish
people. Difsent was still associated with Puri
lnntn. Dr. Pacheverel was a torv and divine
ly rieht man who, in November, 1709, preached a
k uprrnon before the Lord Mayor, in which he In-
juiced to the utmost in the exaltation ot all his
favorite ideas. Passive obedience, divine riRht,
and all the articles of torjism were laid down by
him as undoubted axioms not to be questioned by
any faithful ton ot the Church ot England.
The Lord Mayor desired the sprmon to be
printed; but the Government took a very d if
lerent view of the transaction, and eventually
Trie red it to be burned. In the meantime
fcacheverel had been impeached, and at once
became a popular idol, bacheverel at this time
-was living in the Temple; and he was escorted
to and fro every day by Immense crowds of peo
ple, who cheered him, and tried to kiss his
land. The trial lasted three weeks, and occa
sionally the mob burst out in acts of open vio
lence. In these outrages they were, according
to Jbishoo Burnett, openly encouraged by men
of rank, who accompanied the crowd In hack
ney coachps, and threw money to the rioters.
Their watchword was "the Church and
fiacheverel,'' and every man who refuse! to
join in the shout was liable to abuse or blows.
Bnrnett says he saw befjre his own door a
man's skull cleft open with a spade because he
re! imcd this pious test. The mob, it seems,
were debating the propriety of burning the
Bishop's own bouse, when they heard of the
approach of the Guards and Immediately dis
persed. thb excisk mob of 1733.
The next (treat English mob which has ac
quired historical celebrity distinguished itself
in 1733 aeamst the famous Excise bill of Sir
Robert Walpole. This is an almost perfect In
stance of the submission of the majority of the
House of Commons to a demonstration of phy
sical force openly abetted by the minority. The
London populace assembled in vast numbers in
Palace Yard, and penetrated to the lobbies of
the House of Commons. The "rough" element
asserted Itself in attempts to mob the Prime
Minister and other obnoxious members of Par
liament In spite of the threats of the populace, en
couraged by the opposition orators, Sir Robert
Walpole continued to preBS his measure forward,
and obtained decisive though diminishing ma
jorities upon each division. But the mob became
o violent at last that his resolution wavered.
The grounds on which bis ultimate decision was
taken are. at this distance of time, not very
clear. It is certain, however, that the conduct
f the mob had not only strengthened the regu
lar opposition, but had encouraged some of the
Win liter's party, who wanted only an excuse for
defection, to declare that they could no longer
support him.
On the 11th of April the bill was virtually
abandoned, by a motion, introduced bv Walpole
in person, that the second reading should be
postponed for two months. This humiliating
concession, which was the cause of much wail
ing and gnashing of teeth in St. James' Palace,
did not nave the effect of disarming the resent
ment of the mob against the authors of the
obnoxious scheme. On the night ot its with
drawal a larger mob than usual filled all the
precincts of the House of Commons; and though
they mubt have been Informed ot what had
occurred inside, they seemed more ferocious
than ever. Wben the House was rising, some
of Wal pole's friends, who had been outside,
came backand told him what they must expect
if he went out by the public passage. But
Blr Bobert gallantly resolved to face the worst,
saying there was no end of flying from such
menaces, and so, with ten or a dozen frleuds
close around him, and a couple of servants,
he marched boldly out upon tbe rioters. Fifty
constables had been stationed outside the House,
to secure a free past-age for members; and they
strove to keep a lane for Walpole and his friends
to pass through. But this was impossible. A
general melee ensued. One account says that a
ruffian cot bold of Wal pole's cloak behind his
neck and nearly strangled him. Several of his
protectors were badly hurt. ... Swords .war
drawn at last. And by that means, and by
ffhat onlv, was the minister enabled to reach his
Carriage and get safely to his own house.
THB WILKES MOB IN 1763.
When Wilkes, who had been expelled the
House of Commons, and outlawed in 1763, re
turned to England in 1768, and was returned for
the county of Middlesex, he was not only de
clared Incapable of sitting, but was arrested and
Imprisoned in the King's Bench. The whole
rabble of London were up in arms to protect
their favorite. They rescued him once from
the officers; but Wilkes had the good sense to
surrender himself again, and remained in prison
two years. The day of his Incarceration was
the 29th of April, and from that to the 10th of
May, the day fixed tor the meeting of Parlia
ment, the neighborhood of the prison was oc
cupied by a determined mob, who made more
than one attempt to deliver their cham-
fion by force. On the morning of the
0th of May, when there seemed reason
to apprehend a renewed a tack on the prison,
more formidable than any which had preceded
it, the magistrates appeared upon the spot with
a regiment of infantry, which it was insinuated
at the time had been chosen because it was a
Scotch regiment, and indifferent to the liberties
of the English. The Riot act was read. It was
answered by stones and brickbats. The troops
fired, and killed six and wounded fifteen of tbe
rioters. - One man was shot by a soldier before
the order to fire had been given. He was found
guilty ot murder by a coroner's inquest, but was
acquitted when brought to trial, and publicly
presented with a purse by his colonel. Mr.
Olllam, the magistrate, was likewise tried and
acquitted. In this instance tbe mob was clearly
foiled; for Wilkes remained in prison till 1770,
and after he became Lord Mayor, and was
allowed to take his seat, he discarded the pro
fession of a demagogue.
TBI B.EPOBTKE8' BIOT.
The next serious riot by which tb peace of
London was disturbed occurred only three years
afterwards. It arose out of the attempt of the
House of Commons to exclude parliamentary
reporters. The printers of the reports took
refuge in the city. The House of Commons sent
its oflicer to arrest them. The Lord Mayor and
oihr rttv magistrates, of whom Alderman
niiver aa. like his lordship, a member of the
House of Commons, refused to recognise the
Rrwnker's warrant, or in other words, set up the
privileges of the city against the privileges of
Parliament, xney were eveuiuauj uuuiuiium
to the Tower, where they remained lor some
time. But the end of the dispute was that the
right of publication was conceded.
THB CORDON RIOTS.
It was on Friday, the 2d of June, 1780, thai
Lord George Gordon convened a grand Protest
ant meeting at St. George's-iu-the Fields, for the
purpose of marching down to Westmiuster and
presenting the Protestant petitiou. If less than
twpniv thousand attended, he said, he should
decline to present it. A great show of order
and discipline was visible In his proceedings, lie
Issued a string of resolutions regulating the line
fmuri-h.nndinvitine the magistrates or London.
Westminster, and fcouthwark to lend the aid of
their presence towards overawing any riotous
and evil-disposed persons who might be willing to
disturb the peace. His arrangements were so far
successful that he collected about a hundred
thousand men at the place of muster, and,
marching them, in three columus across the
dltierent bridKes, pot tncia. into tutir pine ouv
side the Houses of Parliament by two o'clock in
'A .i . n Their liatinfftiiMhlntr badtre was
lUD BUUUUUU. - i n
a bluo cockade. But it soon appeared that
many had mounted the cockade who cared very
x Utle for the cause.- -In point of fact, that be
cfcoe avirtent at once which any but a fool must
kav, fWm-en at firt, that of the whole number
hitti had reached Westminster Halt the greater
Vs the lowest rabble, who could not be
kjon for aa hour together to abstain from
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAM PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY,
violpnce, and whose Protestant f.'ral was about
on a par with Dueald Ialgrttj's when he served
under the Lion or the North and the Bulwark of
the Protestant Faith.
Love of excitement, with good propcct of
liquor and plunder, had drawn together most
part of them, and they iet about pratityiug
ibese respective passions in regular order. They
amused themselves for several hours with pull
ing a number of old men out of their carriages,
bustling them ronphly, and tearing their lawn
sleeves if they were bishops, or their coats and
cravats if they were laymen. From insult they
had almost gone to bloodshed; tor it teems that
Lord BoMon, at all events, narrowly escaped
with his life, and that only by the ingenious
device of getting up a discussion among one or
two of the most lanatical of the ringleaders as
to whether the Pope was Antichrist, during the
heat of which he slipped away. The BIshoD of
Rochester took refuge in a private house, and
escaped over the leads in woman's clothes. The
Dukeof Northumberland happened to be driving
down to the House with a gentleman in black
by his Bide. The mob at once declared that this
roost certainly be a Jesuit, so they forthwith
lobbed the Duke of his purse and gold watch.
On leaviDg Westminster Hall the mob divided
Into parties, evidently bent on further mischief.
But at first they were, as we have said, com
paratively moderate. They did no more than
burn down one Roman Catholic chapel in Duke
street, Lincoln's Inn, belonging to the Sardinian
ambassador, and another in Warwick street,
belonging to the Bavarian ambassador. They
then, partly owing to the appearance of ttie
military, went home. It was thoueht after
wards that these attacks upon places of worship
were intended as a blind to divert men's minds
lrom any apprehension of the wider scheme of
pliiBder end devastation which followed.
On Saturday the mob did little; but what
little they did was quite unhindered by tbe law.
They trifled with a lew Popish chapels and
dwelling houses, but, apparently in expectation
that the magistrates must do something soon,
refrained from any larger enterprises. 'Discov
ering at last, however, that they were really
masters of the town, they proceeded to exercise
their power on a more extended scale. On Sun
day they burned the chapel In Moor Fields. On
Monday they destroyed the house of Sir George
Saville; and on the following Tuesday and
Wednesday all that havoc was committed
which has made the Gordon riots historical.
But all this is now an old story. The burn
ing of Lord's Mansfield's house in Blooms
bury Square, with his valuable library
and manuscripts; of Newgale, the
King's Bench, tne Fleet, and other prisons,
whose inmates hastened to swell the tide of
ruflianism which everywhere flooded the me
tropolis; the destruction of Mr. Langdale's dis
tillery in Hoi born, and the spectacle of misera
ble half-burned wretches gulping down spirits
out of pails, or even sucking it up out of the
gutters; the attack on the bank, which was re-
f'clled by no less a personage than John Wilkes;
he prominent figure of the mob-leader mounted
on a huge dray-horse, who has been turned to
such good account by Mr. Dickens; and finally,
"last scene of all," the heavy, sullen roar of
sustained musketry which announced that the
troops had at lust begun to act; all these things
have been described too often by more skilful
pens than ours, to warrant our dwelling on
them now.
The Government seemed paralyzed; but the
truth Is that Ministers remembered what had
occurred in 1768, when Lord Barrington had
provoked such a storm of indignation by the
encouragement he had given to the military;
and the Secretary of State was actually in such
a frenzy of alarm that he caused his servants to
wear bine cockades.
It was not until the Wednesday night that,
finding all other means fail, the King at length
took the law into his own hands; and, alter
consulting the Attorney-General, caused it to
be notified to the troops that, "in obedience to
an order from the King In council, tbe military
were to act without waiting for directions from
the civil magistrate." This decisive step put a
stop to the ilots at once. On Thursday all
was tranquil, and on Friday Lord George
Gordon was arrented. For nearly one entire
week the mob had been in possession of London.
THE KINO MOBBED.
An attempt was made in 1795 to resuscitate
the reign of mob-law, which half a century
tooner might have been attended with serious
consequences. The "Corresponding Society,"
as it was called, convened a great meeting in
Conenhajren Fields, whwr - n ..Lundrad mad
fifty thousand persons assembled, and an address
to the King was voted, praying for relorm in
parliament, the dismissal oi ministers, and peace
with France. A few days after this meeting the
King went in state to open Parliament. His
carriage was surrounded by a mob and one of
the windows was broken by a small bullet. On
his return he was still followed by tho crowd,
wno t oi eaten ea to pull mm out ot nis carriage,
which, it is thought, they would have done but
ror me tiraeiy arrival oi tne uuaros. cut sua
the moral effect of this mob was absolutely
nothing, except in so far as it stimulated the
friends of order. Out of sympathy with the
nation at large, and unsupported by any aristo
cratic party of any weight in the country, the
niOD was powerless. - 'ine only result ot their
behavior was that two bills, called the "Treason
bill" and the "Sedition bill," were passed
thtough Parliament by overwhelming majori
ties.
RELIGIOUS RIOT IN BIRMINGHAM IN 1791.
Before we quit the eighteenth century we
must notice the famous Birmingham riots,
where the mob, as if to show their impartiality
towaras sectaries oi ait denominations, pro
ceeded to cap the doings of the Gordon rioters
Dy a line display oi rancor towards the Dis
senters. The origin of the disturbance was a
sermon preached by Dr. Priestly, a Unitarian,
in which he upheld what had then como to be
called "'French principles.'' Wbilo the people
were still in a state of much irritation at this
discourse, notice was given that the Unitariun
society intended to celebrate the anniversary
of the destruction of the Bastilo by a public
festival and dinner, to be held at one of the
chief hotels. Popular feeling rose so high at
this announcement that the more prudent of
the propagandists declined to attend the
celebration. About eighty, however, did assem
ble on the Hth of July, 1791; but were soon sur
rounded by an immense mob who shouted
"Church and King" with much ferocity of de
meanor till the company separated. They then
proceeded to reward themselves for their own
loyalty by demolishing Dr. Priestly's house,
which contained a valuable laboratory and
library. From this they went on to other acts
of violence of the like kind, and even made
raids into the country, where they burned or
ransacked several gentlemen's houses. They
bad their own way entirely from Thursday to
Bundav. and committed damaee for which the
suilerers recovered about thirty thousand pounds
from their respective hundreds. It was said
that they were encouraged by the cleriry, and
at least winked at by the magistrates. But this
we must presume to be a calumny. Only three
of the rioters were hung, but great numbers
cijbucu iu tne names.
THE BIOT OP 1831.
The latter part of the autumn of 1831 was a
terrible time lor Enpland. Early iu October the
Lords had rejected the Reform bill by a muoiity
of forty-one; and that vote was a signal for the
whole populace to rise. Eiots took place in halt
the large towns in tho kingdom, Loudon in
cluded, where Lord Londonderry and the Duke
of Cumberland were pulled off their horse, and
the windows of the Dukes of Wellinfftnn nnH
iiewcahtle were smashed to pieces. But Bristol
and Nottingham were the chosen snots in whir-h
the mob once more retimed supreme and re-
enacieo me scenes oi iibu ainiost to the letter
Sir Charles WetLerall was Recorder of Bristol
and he had been one of the most violent
nentt of tbe Keiorm bill. Towards tho
October the time arrived at wbioh the liMiml
Jail delivery was to be held before him. Even
many of his friends in Bristol, who understood
the state of public feeling, thought It would be
wise in him to postpone his visit. But Sir
Charles himself and the more rebolute of the
Tory party deemed it uuadvisable to betray any
svuiptoms of timidity, and it was determined
to proceed as usual. Tbe results were fright
ful. Sir Charles made his entry Into the city on
He win, ana vua aimcunj reacnea the Guild
hall, where, arnld the groans and hisses of a
devwu mtiltitudo, the commission was opened.
With still preater dilliculty did tho Recorder
make his way from the Guildhall to the Man
sion House, where he was of course to dine
with the Lord Mayor. But such a banquet was
served up to him that night as must have
haunted his dreams ever afterwards.
The mob, vigorously but Ineffectively opposed
by the constabulary, smashed the windows and
broke in tbe doors of the Mansion House, and
forced its obnoxious guest, instead of sitting
down to the dinner that was preparing for him,
to make his way as best he could over the roof
of an adjoining houpc. Tbe residence of the
chief magistrate was ransacked, and among
other booty tailing into the hands of the mob
was Sir Cbarles'own portmanteau. All this
time the lower stories of the house had been
laid completely bare to the gaze ot the outsider,
who saw through the broken windows and
gaping doors the whole paraphernalia of the
kitchen arranged as for a grand banquet. Joints
of meat were seen hung upon the spits, sauce
pans Bimnicrins on the nre, game ready trussed
upon the dressers, but the cooks had fled, the
altars were deserted, even the cellars were left a
prey to the thirsty multitude, who were not slow
to avail inemseives oi ineupporiuuuy. ncuup
forth Bristol was for some days at the mercy of
the mob, who drank, burned, and pillaged,
right and left, without any serious interruption
even from tne military iorce, wnicn was ampiy
snfticient to have Quelled tbe riot at any moment.
The explanation of this disgracetul Bcene is
almost word lor wora tne explanation oi tne
Gordon riots. Both the officers in command of
the troops, and the magistrates in command of
the officers, rbrank from their duty.
The Nottingham riots, which occurred about
a fortnight earlier, were neither so serious nor
of such long duration as those at Bttstol. But
they acquired an unhappy notoriety by two
circumstances ot more than ordinary interest,
which attended them. One was the destruction
of Nottingham Castle, an ancient and splendid
relic ot past ages, tnen tne property oi tne
Duke of Newcastle, which possibly suggested
to Mr. Disraeli his vivid picture of the burning
of Mowbray Castle in "Sybil." The other, and
one sufficient of Itself to make the memory
of these riots memorable for all time, was tbe
death of Mrs. Musters. Lord Byron's "Mary,"
whose home at Colwick Hall was attacked Dy
the mob, during tne absence ot her husband.
She took refuge with her daughters in tbe
shrubberies on a cold, wet autumn night, and
between the combined effects of fright and
cold she died only a tew weeks afterwards. The
rioters extended their ravages for many miles
round Nottingham, and some even penetrated
to Loughborough, a market town within the
borders ot l.eiccstersnire.

LILLIE'S CHILLED-IRON SAFES
1 IMPORTANT FACTS
WHICH TUB PEOPLE SHOULD
MAKE A NOTE OF."
itr I. LTLLTX'8 CHILLF.D-IROT RAVira
have been largely introduced for the lant twelve
years, and sold to tbose having the largmt amount ol
valuables, as the heat and most thorougbi Jiurglar
l'roof Hale; and, np to the Ikm three years, ft baa been
as rare 10 near ni one oi inline s Miea nnvlug been
robbed by burglnrs, as to see or bear ot a white
biacuDiro. or a wnue eiepuant.
Fact II. It Is notorious that the profbmion of the
burglar has advanced at a rauld pace within tbe laat
eight years, and what was thoroughly burglar-proof
then Is pot so now, which accounts for tbe fact tbat
within the last three years very few of Lil lie's
bales bave been robbed, and the secret anonymous
circulars distributed by other sale-makers lat
terly , showing iwry (nn cases only, is tbestrongest
evidence thm b t a very small number bave been
robbed to this time, notwithstanding the large nuio
Der in use, ana me amount at stake 11 successful.
Fact III. There are two. and only two. Ben oral
and leading princldles upon which all burglar-proof
suiei are construetea. me one is pouring liquid
Iron between and around bars of wrought lreu, hard
ened street, or any proper combination of metals.
This principle Is Helmed by I.lllie. In the Clnlled-
Iron Sale, and covered and controlled by bis letters
patent.
The other Is made op ot layers of plates, of different
metals, held together by bolts or rivets, or both. To
this principle there are various objection: The
costisaoume. il wrougni. iron plates, wblcnare
the slreuuth Of the safe, ate outoide. and are ooarated
upon by the whole calHlugue ot burglars' tools. The
nous or rivets are easily lorcea oy suitable tools,
with or without powder, and cannot be sustained.
The former principle, adopted by Little, avoids all
these objections, can be made any thick news, and
withstand anv amount of resistance reuuired: avoid a
tbe rivets, bolts, etc.: has no wrought Iron outside to
be operated upon by mirgiars' implements.
Fact IV. Mr. LIHIe, the Patentee, so soon as he
learned that it was possible wltb tbe modern Im-
firoved tools lor burglars to grind tb rough chilled
ron or hardened steel, began experimenting to avoid
the dilliculty, and after much labor and expense be
has perlected a system ler chilling Iron and combin
ing metals that Is entirely proof against tbe burglar's
drill, or any other of bis tools, even tbe wedge, war
ranted to stand the hardest test practicable for any
burglar to make. As a proof of his success, the fol
lowing ceriilicuie is now olleied lrom the frovelty

It Is our opinion that It can only be penetrated bv
the use of a large number of drills, and the expendi

same.

Fact V. Tbe proposition made the public hereto
fore la now renewed : I will furnish bales .or Vault
Doors, of same size and capacity of other best makers,
and at one-third less price; and tbe same may be
tested wben finished, and I will furnish the man to
test the work of any other maker, and he shall fur
nish the man to teat my work ; and the parly so order
ing may accept tbe work which stands the most re
slBtance.ln any wayoc manner practicable for a burglar

Fact VI. I would now say to any of the owners of
Llllle's bales, that, in view of the preceding facte, If
tbey reel tne neea 01 aaaitionai security. 1 will ex

Fact Vii. It 1b true that tbe Sheet-Iron or common
Bale, as now made, under ordinary circumstances
(and wben not crushed by tbe fall ot walla or timbers)
usually saves the written matter, but If tbe fire Is se
vere it nas 10 oe copieu, lor toe ion win soon laue out;
Deeiues, uie saie is iwinteu up auu useieon.
It Is equally true that the Cnllled-lron Safe saves
tbe written matter in a perfect state, that It does not
lade out or require copying, and that tbe safe Itself
is reaay lor lunuer use. Any numoer or trials In
fires, certified to, prove these facts, and If any of the
sale venders who are distributing secret, anonymous
circulars to injure the reputation ot LILLIK'e) BAl'U
ara not aaUaUsd wim tueae statements, tbey can have
the opportunity ot testing by tire one of their own
bates with LILLLK'b, on equal terms, whenever
tney so aeciue.
Fact VIII. In answer to the story circulated by
Interested parties, that Llllle's bafe had gone up, and
bad ruined Llllle. etc. I would sav tbat at no Lima in
tbe last two years could LUue&bon half supply tbe
demand tot biles, and were under the necessity ef

on the Delaware, In Pennsylvania, near Kiujton, and
Is the largest bate Works probably In existence, and
will be able to supply all demands for Sales, Locks,

In conclusion. I beg to call the attention of mv
patrons and friends, and the public, to tbe tacts here
presented, and to say that I am very thankful for
