chartist Outrage—The Town of Llandilloes in
possession of the Revolationists.—We have to re
cord a melanetiolly proof in this district of the cal
pable neglect of the executive Government in per
ntuiing politica: incendiaries to instill into the minds
of the bumbler classes, doctrines subversive alike of
their own comfort and of all the laws by which so
eiety ought to be guided and cemented together.—
It appears that fur some weeks past the Chartist
revolutionists at , Llindiloes and its vicinity have
been at mitig• themselves in pursuance of the treason
able advice of ti,e villians who are their leaders;
they had purchased some fire-arms as were to be
readily, obtained, and caused pikes to he mitotic- '
toted by their pdfirsans, and parties had gone out
into the country and taken arms from the farmers
and others who pos s essed thew; in• consequence a
c.unmunicatron was made to the Secretary of State,
and three of the Loridori police were sent to L;1011.1-
loes, where they arrited on Monday, '24th

the. outrages that had be,

them to the , 'Prewythen Arms Inn. This was the
signal for a general rising of the revolutionists of
the town and its vicinity, who immediately, being
'armed with guns, piattrls, pikes, and bludgeons, pro.
ceeded to the Trewy.then 'Arms, the windows and
doors of which they broke, and having forced their
way in, they rescued the parties that had been.to.

it is yet doubtful if actual murder has not bee' , e
mitted,some of.the police being still missing,) tur
ed the landlord, Mr. Evans, and his family, out of
'tire house, arid soiriploely ransacked the cellars and
every:lather part of the 'property• The resident Mag.
'istrete, Mr. T. E: Marsh, had a pike run throueh
toadied while endeavoring, in bts official capacity,
to preserve ti'eace ; and .we regret to say that on
Tuesday, when onr information came away, the.
. town of Llaniilots was in possession of the revolu
tionists, add it is impossible to describe the situation
of terror in which the respectable residents of the
town and its vicinity were placed, or to say what
may have occurred up to the ti..!.0 of our w riting.—
'
Two of the London policemen bad been stabbed-;
Blinkborn, the policeman, was pl%ked uP, dreadfully
injured, on the road from Llatnidlocif and conveyed
to Llandinarn ; and Lewis, with eon of the others,
as we have already mentioned, were missing, when
our information tell.. Mr. Marsh, with the Clerk of
the Peace fur Montgomeryshire( Mr- Joseph Jones,)
arrived yesterday evening (express,) and stated the
circumstances to - Viscount Clive, the Lord Lieuten
ant of Montgomeryshire, who is in Shrewsbury, as
Colonel of the South Salopian regiment of Yeoman
ry, now assembled for permanent duty. His Lord

Jones were again'expressed immediately to Mont

Bcpcdal Bruies.—Thi following most singular
ease occurred last March; at the Ttrone eoucty (lre
land)--Assiies. It is scare - 4y possible to find a more
remarkable instance of the entire absence of moral
sense. A man by the tri.oie of Mullen was,tried" for
.marry ingone Jane Moffat, his Wife being still alive.
Both marriages, were pri,ved, but the defence of the
prisoner, seriously made, was, that his first wile sold
him to the second, as she - had a night Jo do ! and
the second wife was called' by the defendant to prove
the sale and deliver:3 , di the goods. - She wasa yoting
and rather handsome woman, and svheushe was put
on the stand the following dialogue ensued between
her and the defendant :—Boston 'Trans. -

The following table, exhibiting the total expense
of collecting the reveitue of the, United States, for a
series of years, from 1818 down to 1837, shows, as
many other similar documents have shown,-in what
manner the promises mule t o the people in 1825,
6, 7 and 8, of retrencAing the expenses of the Gov

wright work, under Mr. Graham at Patrick. and civ
il engineering for about three 'years, under Mr. Mac

arid they remained but a short tone in this country.
We understand two of them died ; tour paid the
attention principally to plumber work, two to ship
end the others chteitly to machinery ntak
tag and cotton spinning. The Pacha 'Wisely left
them to choose trades or professions - to suit their own
taste and he paid for their education Iliseruuy, It,
is rather ourprising, that only one of them had an idea
of studying civil engineering, being a profession so
much required in that country, and where it is gen
erally beheied to have its origin, but has long since
been extinct; and it is rather art odd circumstance
that this young gentleman should Shave been taught
in Glasgow. and that when he returns to Egypt he
will he the first native civil engineer who has appear
