The Correspondence just published "Relating to " the Election of Prince Wrixism of Denmark as " King of Gunn; and to the State of the " Country," throws a good deal of light on the dis turbances which occurred at Athens before the final decision of Prince %Yuman was known, and enables us to decide with tolerable certainty a question naturally raised at the time, and which has a direct and very important bearing on the state and prospects of the Kingdom under its new Ruler. This question is whether these disturbances were in any degree the result of political intrigue and organized resistance to the National Govern ment, or whether they were such temporary out , bursts of rivalry and violence as might be expected to occur during a period of intense agitation and suspense. It is satisfactory to find that so far as the evidence goes there was no organized revolt, no resistance to the National Assembly, bat simply a disturbance created by some ill-conditioned ruffians in uniform, and a brief but calamitous struggle between the armed partisans of two rival factions. The riot at the Circus towards the end of April, and the outrages on the several members of the troupe which followed, were the work of a lawless gang of disbanded soldiers. There might possibly have beensome rude political feeling or nationalpre judice against foreigners at the outset; but if so, it was used as a pretext by the military ruffians prowling about the city for the commission of the most atrocious outrages. The only serious and menacing aspect of this outbreak of violence and crime arose from the remissness of the authorities in bringing the offenders to justice. This roused the representatives of the three Powers—England, Austria, and France—to united action, and they addressed a strong remonstrance on tho subject to M. DiLYAICNI, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, to be communicated to the National Assembly, " in " the hope of inducing that body to take efficacious " means for bringing the culprits to punishment, " and for preventing at once by more activity and " determination the recurrence of acts so dis " graceful to • civilized nation." Mr. ScAnzsrr urges on the Greek Minister that the character of the Government and the credit of the nation were directly involved in the prompt and rigorous sup pression of such crimes. The remonstrances were happily successful, the criminals being forth with punished, and order established throughout the city. The reluctance or hesitation of the Government to punish acts of military violence in the most signal and summary manner appears to have arisen from the fact of the soldiers having from the first taken such an active part not only in the great ' political struggle of the country, but in the petty conflict of rival factions in the capital. The mem bers of the National Guard and regular army were political partisans as well as moldier', and it is hardly surprising that in a period of intense excitement some confusion should have resulted from the attempt to combine the strong expression of their political partialities with the dis- charge of their military duty. This confusion reached its highest point in the unhappy struggle which for a couple of days atthe end of June divided the city of Athens into two hostile camps. This civil conflict was in reality, as Lord ROBBILL describes it, a struggle for political power betwcen rival factions. But as the leading members of these factions were officers, and many of their partisans troops, the argument& resorted to were rifles and field-pieces instead of speeches and votes in the Assembly. There appears to have been no deli berate intention to resort to violence on either aide, but violent acts having been committed the troops took the quarrel up, and for forty-eight hours all regular government was in abeyance, and Athens in the hands of the troops. Here again the representatives of the three Powers were happily sucoessful in restoring order and tranquillity. At their instance hostilities ceased, the National Assembly resumed its functions, and • change of ministry allayed the strong but temporary excitement. The National Assembly decided on removing the regular troops which bad garrisoned Athens to the country, the maintenance of public order being wholly confided to the Na tional Guard. And this decision being carried into effect without disturbance, order was promptly re stored. After all it speaks well for the army, and is a good omen for the country, that troops so far demoralised by thehiolitical license of • revolution ary era, and the relaxation of all discipline it natu rally tends to produce, should have so quietly obeyed the decree of the Assembly in the midst of • civil eonflict that had not only roused their passions but thinned their ranks. Lord Roseau:a comment on these events is equally just and generous : " Perhaps, after all, we ought rather to admire the " spirit which has prevented any serious breach "of the peace from the month of October 1862 " till the present time, than wonder at the " disorders which have now at last oc " tarred." It is highly satisfactory to find that amidst these disturbances in the capital no anti national party has appeared, and that the whole nation has remained united in its firm resolve to establish a popular and representative government under a constitutional King. Mr. &slum says, indeed, in one of his early letters, that " every effort will be made by the Grimm "party in order to promote a counter-revolution, " with a view of defeating the intentions of " her MAJMITY'II Government respecting the final " acceptance of the crown by Prince WILLIAM of " Denmark." But the effort, if made, was unsuc cessful, or at most has succeeded in pro ducing isolated outrages. No political party has attempted to resist the National Assembly, or to oppose the Ruler it Ku elected. On the contrary, it is clear from the despatches from all parts of Greece describing the effect of the election of Prince WILLIAM as King, that the whole nation is not only united but enthusiastic in its sop- THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 26, 1863. port of the new monarch. Amidst the first distur bances the news of the signature of the first Pro tocol arrived at Athens, and Mr. Scstmerr ascribes the tranquillity that almost immediately ensued to the hope thus produced that no further difficulty would interfere to prevent the wishes of the na tion from being realised. The news of the final acceptance by Prince Wittasu, and the arrival at Athens of the KING'S letter to the National Aseembly, produced the greatest delight and en thusiasm throughout the country. "It is " clear," therefore, as Lord Rcessu. states in his despatch to Mr. Scsatrrr, " that " there has been no overt attack on the " title of King GEORGE. Nor does the authority "of the National Assembly appear to be dis " puled." Though the task of the new Govern ment is by no means an easy one, it has the great advantage of being popular, and may reckon on the sympathy and support of the nation in the faithful discharge of its arduous duties. trot Court. ROSENAU, COBURG, Auouffr 23. The Queen and Royal Family have continued to take walks and drives in the neighbourhood. Her Majesty is everywhere received with marks of affec tion and respect, but her privacy is nowhere intruded apse. The Crown Princess of Prussia has visited the Queen, and has dined with her Majesty every day. The Duchess of Coburg has also dined with her Majesty. Prince and Primus Augustus of Saul Coburg, with their me and daughters, visited the Queen yesterday. Earl Russell has (we learn from the North British Mail) intimated his intention to be present at the opening of the Baxter Park, Dundee. Him lordship Is to visit Bal moral about the 15th ; and, unless called away from Scot land by important business of State, will be in Dundee on the 9th. It is probable that Earl Resell will accompany the Earl of Dalhousie in the procession, and no doubt an appropriate part wall be assigned him in the proceedings of the day. _ _ Tho Duchess of St. Albans and Lady Diana Beaulark remain the guests of Lady Yokewortb, at Poo aezrow, Cornwall. The Duke of Hamilton arrived at his family madame in Arlington-street, Piccadilly, as Mooday night, from &Awllades. rho Duke and Duchess of Sutherland have left Tarbet Home, for Thuirobin Castle, where the noble duke and duchess will entertain a large circle of friends. The Marquis of Abercorn is staying with a select parts of friends at Taednigee, oa a visit W the Doke and Doeheme of Manchester. The Marquis of Tullibardine, in consequence of the serious illness of his tither, the Duke of Atholl, is expected to return home u soon as possible from Canada, where his lordship has been serving with his regiment, the Scots Fusilier Guards. The Marquis Conyngham has arrived at his seat is Ireland, after a anise of several weeks is his yacht. The Earl of Malmeebury, Viscount itanelagh, Hoe. Colossal Lowther, M.P., Major-General Wood, and Sir Henry Willoughby, LP., have been among the gnats of the Earl of Loos&Is at Lowther Castle, Cumberland. The Earl of Strathmore and the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, aims she close of the York races, have been staying at Glamis Castle, N.B.

These excellent entertainments increase in in terest and attraction. Since their commencement on Monday fortnight • Mozart and a Mendelsohn night have been given, and Haydn's Creation and Rossini's Seaga Mater have been performed. On Monday hat M. Lotto, the Polish violinist, appeared and executed some brilliant solos ; and last night a speciality was given to the pro gramme by the introduction of a selection from Goturod's Panel, commencing with the waltz movement vocalised by Male. Carlotta Patti. The remainder of the selection, which was entirely instrumental, comprised the most biter eating portions of the opera, the vocal solos being die. tributed among the principal instrumentalists : Mr. Nicholson (oboe), Mr. Hausser (bassoon), Mr. C. Harper (hors), Mr. Trust (harp), Mr. Hawke (trombone), Mr. Hughes (ophicleide), Mr. Pratten (flute), Mr. Barret (corn Unless), Mr. H. Hill (violin), and Mr. Levy (cornet). Reodered by such admirable artists, the various solos of Margaret, Faust, Siebsi, Mephistopheles, and Valentine were se expressive as it is possible for an in strumental adaptation of vocal music to be. The " Ber l:cease" scene was one of the most effective portions of the selection, the effect of the chorus of old men being very cleverly imitated by the use of the chalonteau of the clarinets. The march, too (which formed the concluding movement), was given with immense effect, aided by the addition of the brass band of the Coldstream Guards, and was encored by acclamation. The various portions of the opera are moat skilfully adapted and woven into a continuous whole by Mr. Alfred Mellon, sod the selection from Faust affords most agreeable reminiscences to those who have heard the work is its ori ginal shape, while to those who have not it will doubtless set as an incentive to • further acquaintance with the open. The large space of the Royal Italian Opera House was com pletely tilled by an audience whose numbers and enthusiasm proved that there is • permanent London public for good musical performances, irrespective of the conventional dia -1 Unctions of season. On Thursday night • Beethoven selec tion is announced, and on Friday Mendebieohn's " Lobge sang " (Hymn of Praise) is to he givers ; so that Mr. Mellon is giving • high tone to his concerts, which have every appearance of being as successful as they certainly deserve to be. TIER SEASON AT BADEN-BADEN. Seldom han this favourite continental watering-place been an full of visitors as during the present year ; far, as We learn by • letter dated the Lod inst., the number then in the city reached 31,000; sad, so the races commence on Seotem ber 2, the cohabitant' are looking forward to a great in crease in the number of their guests. During the past week the King of Prussia, the King of the Netherlaods, and the Kiog of Saxony were at Baden-Baden—quite an event in the history of the city. The King of Saxony was there in 1e:19, when he came to meet the Emperor of the French. It was remarked by the inhabitant' that, although no loos period has elapsed since his Sexes Majesty's former visit, time has left its imprint on his brow. The King paid • visit to the Duchess of Hamilton at the Hotel d'Aogleterre woo after his arrival, sod prolonged his visit for two hours, while awaiting the arrival of his son and danshter-in-law, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Sauey. Th; carriage of the Duke of Hamilton eieveyed their royal highnesses from the station to the hotel, bet the crowd of people anxious to see the King and Prises sad Princew was so great that the vehicle could only proceed slowly, and with the utmost difficulty.

The Vienna Ptvise says : With regard to the acceptance by the Archduke Maxi milian of the throne of Mexico, we are informed, on good authority, that the Archduke is personally inclined to accept the crown, and that he confidently believes the negotiations on foot will lead to practical results. It seems that be is already occupied in making arrangement' in regard to the persons who are to accompany him, and that he confidentially spoken to several persons on this subject. But we are informed from the name source that the Emperor is leas favourable to the acceptance, and that he has distinctly notified to his brother that he must not calculate on the support of Austria In ease of any diffi culty arising out of the affair. Notwithstanding this decla ration on the part of the Emperor, the Archduke has resolved to accept the crown. (Runes TELICILLNII.) THE GREEK CON VENTS IN THE PRINCIPALITIES. PAM, Ammer 26. The Paris papers of to-day publish the following telegram : "Coastantinoplo, August 25. • • - " Prince Colin has addressed a note to the Powers who protested against hia sequestration of the property of the Greek convents, declaring that this sequestration is definitive, but that he is dis posed to grant an indemnity to the Greek priests for the sequestrated property. " Holland has demanded of Prince Couza a modification in the Roumain flag on account of its resemblance to her own." THE SPANISH ELECTIONS. MADRID, Almon 25. The Progressist Committee have written to Senores Madoz and Olozaga asking their opinion on the ad visability of the progreaaist party abstaining from voting at the elections. Doubts are entertained whether they are favour able to this course. The following telegram has been received at Mr. Reuter's office from the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company : CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS. MARSEILLIII, AtmosT 26. The Manilla, with the above mails, arrived here at 6.30 a.m. this day. The mails leave for London by the 11.30 a.m. train. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (mom oos owl PARIS, TUESDAY EVINING. I am very positively assured that Mr. Dayton, the American minister, has received by the last mail explicit instructions from his government to protest against the establishment of a monarchy in Mexico. This news is highly important. M. Dubois de Saligny, who, it will be remem bered, was the accredited representative of France at the court of Juarez, and is now superseded by the Marquis de Montholon, accredited to a govern ment nominated by France, is now, we are told by the France, coining home to Europe on a "mission " relative to the affairs of Mexico, with which he is thoroughly acquainted. This seems to me a very puzzling business indeed. Whose man datory can the ex•representative of France in Mexico be, when he comes to Europe on a " mission " 1 I hear that the new French consul general in New York will be M. Gauldrde Boileau, at present consul at Quebec. The France says the reason why the delivery of the three despatches to Prince Gortchakoff was not known sooner is that the news came by a special courier, and wan not sent by telegraph. A letter from Brussels, contradicting the state ment that King Leopold had counselled the Arch duke Maximilian to accept the throne of Mexico, says that his Majesty has signified to his son•in law that he would rather not give any advice at all upon the subject. The Temps, however, contains the following paragraph : We believe we aux affirm that King Leopold is not favourable to the sooeptaaoe "pure and simple," but re commends the archduke, without positively refusing, to pro pound conditions which would be so difficult to be complied with as to render the assent illusory. It is said that the Imperial Prince, instead of accompanying his mother to Biarritz, has been re commended sea bathing in a more northerly climate, and that he will pass some time at Havre next month, under the care of a physician. M. Boudet's circular to the presidents of the coun cils-general, desiring them not to make any political speeches, is not the illiberal measure which it has been represented to be. Rightly considered, it is quite the contrary, and merits approbation as a homage to legality an..l the rising tide of public opinion. This requires some explanation. For merly the councils-general, though possessing no positive political powers, were in the habit of having political debates. They said what they liked, and as they were freely elected, resolutions passed by them naturally had great weight with the government as being considerable evidence of the general opinion of the country. When Louis Napoleon was meditating the coup d'itat he made great use of the influence of the executive power to obtain from the councils-general resolutions de manding a revision of the republican constitution of 1848 ; but upon the time-honoured principle, " When you are up kick the ladder down," he hastened to enact in his constitution of 1852 that the councils-general should confine themselves to local affairs, and not talk politics at all. The prac tice, however—a practice entirely conformable to imperial notions of fairness and decency—has hitherto been that the presidents (who are not elected by the people, but nominated by the Emperor) should make political speeches, and that anybody else might be allowed to say ditto. But whenever the slightest contradiction to the key note was offered, the president at once put the speaker down and enforced against him the letter of the law. It is this one-sided and disgusting state of things which M. Boudet feels to be incom patible with the state of opinion iu the country, as shown at the last election, and therefore he says in effect that there shall no longer be two weights and two measures—no longer one law for the dependent presidents, and another law for the independent members. It would be better no doubt if the councils-general could speak freely on all subjects as formerly ; but until such a large reform shall be accomplished it is some improvement that MM. Fould, de Morny, de Persiguy, Magna, and other senators and func tionaries in imperial livery are prevented from reading political lectures, iu contempt of the law, to assemblies which dare not contradict them.

The following memorial wan yesterday sent from the Executive Committee of the Emancipation Society to Earl Russell : UNTO TRZ 110%? BON. TAIL ROWELL, NKR MAJESTY'S PRINCIPAL SICIINTART OF STATE POE FORCION ATTAINS. The 311smorial of the Executive Committee of the Eman cipation Society humbly eheweth : That your memorialists desire to call your lordship's at tention to • subject of very grave and preening importance. Your memorialists have learned that certain persons, re gardless of the proceedings already taken by her Majesty's government to stop such practices, have equipped vessels of • very formidable kind, which are ►bout to mil from England to make war upon a nation with which this country is at peace, and a people very nearly allied to us by ties of friendship and commerce. In particular, your memorialista am informed, and earnestly call upon your lordship to make immediate investigation into the fact, that two powerful iron-plated steam-rams which for some time have been in preparatiou in the Mersey by the builders of the Alabama, ►re now almost ready for sea ; that the remade are equipped and armed with steel prows and turret., and are intended for the purpose of committing hostilities against the government and people of the United Stake of America. One, it is believed, will mil on or about the 27th of this present month of August, and is to be received by the Coafederate war vessel Florida, now hovering off the British meta for the pumas.. Another iron•plated war vessel, destined for the same service, is approaching completion in the Clyde. In view of what her Majesty's government has already dope in the case of the suspected gunboat Alexaedre, and of a state• mint by your lordship that you believed the Foreign Enlist ment Act sufficient to stop them dangerous practices, your memorialists cannot doubt that the law will be enforced against the persons and vessels concerned, in • spirit of loyalty and good faith to an allied nation struggling for con stitutional freedom and emancipation against • rebellion of slaveholders. _ _ • - ------- _. May it, therefore, please your lordship to order a prompt investigation into the circumstances above detailed, and, if necessary for this purpose, to stop in the meantime the de parture of the war vessel which is ready to mil, and to apply the law with vigour to prevent hostile acts against a friendly power contending for human freedom. And your petitioners will ever pray, W. EveNt, Chairman. P. A. TAILOR, t Joint W. T. Mammal!, 1 Treasurers. F. W. Cassecar, Has. Secretary. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) WIDWESDAY, AVITIVIT 11, II LM.

Cardinale Taal and Amat Are both seriously ill. The Paris papers announce the death of General EaSlice at the age of 76. The deceased general entered the army in 1807 and was severely wounded at Waterloo. In 1837 he was made general of division. He was also created • peer of France, and was Minister of War when Louis Napoleon was President of the Republic. ACCIDENT TO THE DOKE or COBI7RO.—The Times correspondent at Frankfort says :—" His Serene Highness the Grand Duke of Coburg, who appear' to be very popular here, went on Friday last to Biberich, where he was kicked on the mouth by • horn which he was examining. Fortunately, the Duke's teeth were not injured, and the swelling of the lips was so speedily reduced by the constant application of ice, that his highness was yesterday (the 73rd) able to go to Coburg." FRENCH ACADEMY or St.:mecum—At the last sitting, M. Coulvier-Gravier communicated a table of the shooting stare observed from the 17th ult. to the 14th hut, the period of the year during which that phenomenon occurs with peculiar frequeecy. The maximum number observed per boor was 121, on the 10th inst. ; the minimum was 6, on the 17th ult. From the Bth to the 14th (except the maximum above stated), the numbers ranged between 33 and 48. M. Conlvier-Gruier is of opinion that the phe nomenon, after decreasing in intensity sines 1848, is new again on the increase. U. Jobart de Umbel'. communicated • paper on the regeneration of animal tissues, being • contisuation of his former comma niutions on the same subject. Is the present paper he establishes the fact that the periceteum (the membrane which covers the bones) is insensible. M. Coinde announced that certain insects which infest the Nerium Oleander and other plants in Algeria possess, in • high degree, the tine torial qualities for which cochiocal is so highly prised. M. Evrard announced that nitrate of potash is contained in the dregs of wine in a sufficient quantity to be remunerative, and may be obtained by collecting the crystals which are deposited in the vats by the dregs, and subjecting these crystals to repeated re-eryaWlinitiona The mother liquor which re mains contains • quantity of carbonate of potash, which may be extracted by evaporation and calcination.—A pam phlet was received from H. de Simone, in which he de scribes • disease which is called attossature in Sicily, and causes the death of many young mules. A few days after their birth, and after having sucked their dams, thsT r a n sick and die without any apparent cease. 11. de &mope states that this disease is attributable to the previous nice , boss state of the dam, which suddenly becomes fat after the first months of gestation, and has her udders filled with • serous kind of milk. SICEDA DDLERS. —The Brockvilk (Canada) ReCOMIT says :—" On Friday afternoon lest the steamer Bay State touched at Brookville, from Ogdensburg, having on board some 60 or 70 draughted and enlisted is., for the American army, on their route westward. A ssooosathe vessel touched the wharf, one of the intended soldiers jumped upon the wharf, and exclaimed, ' Abe Lincoln may be —, I care nothing for him now.' Some of the non.commiivioDed officers in charge d4l not relish this style of leavotaking, consequently followed the skedaddler, and did their best to get him to return to his duty. This he resolutely refused to do, when he was knocked down by •corporel or sergeant, mid then seized for the purpose of being carried on board the steamer. This summary, process, it appears, did not meet the approbation of several roughs around the wharf, who immediately fell foul of the American officers, and a =free fight ensued. Several severe blows were dealt, last the Americans were glad to take refuge on the propeller, miens the man knocked down istals° two others. The steamer had to leave without them." A KENTUCKY SLAVEHOLDER ON EMANCIPATION. —At the dinner of the alumni of Dartmouth College, ma the 23rd July, Mr. Jacob Dinsmore, of Kentucky, a member of the class, 1813, made the following remarks :-- If in crushing out this accursed rebellion slavery must go overboard, then, for God's sakes let it go. I am, a; the present time, a Kentucky slaveholder ; I have been such for more than forty years, but I assure you that, during all this time, 1 have been a firm and unwavering emancipationist. Coder existing circumstances I cannot well set free my slaves, but I pa 7 every one of them the same daily wages that I should rye corresponding white labourers. I want this war to be prosecuted ; and if slavery shall be crushed thee I shall cheerfully abide by it. destruction. lam a local Kentuckian, and whatever fate in the course of the war shall befall the domestic institutions of my Slate, I shall give way to no murmuriogs, but, under the circum stances, shall stand up for the country and her Ng. There is but one course for the loyal North to pursue, and that is to put down the rebellion. We must defeat the rebele, or they will conquer as." INTERNATIONAL POSTAL REGULATIONS.

THUNDERSTORM IN THE METROPOLIN —Yoke. day afternoon the metropolis was visited by a storm which continued for about half an hour, acclmpanied with vivid flashes of lightning. The effects of the tempest were more seriously felt io the district. of Hackney, Kinplaod, and various pasta of Essex. The Roman catholic church in Higb-street, Deptford, was struck by lightning. the cross being shivered, many windows broken, and much interior damage done. The electric eurreot spread to the adjoining houses ; and Mr. J. L Pulling, solicitor, residing neat door, who happened to be holding • dinner knife. received alight shock in the right hand. No further consequeuees have resulted ; but much alarm was naturally caused in the neighbourhood. RUCCWSPUL WHALE HuNT IN ORKNEY.—At Helm, on Monday evening, all the boats had a grand whale hunt, when they drove ashore the whole flock of 70 or eO, and killed them in • bay at the east end of Holm. They were sold by reap on Wednesd say, and fetched fair prices, bringing upwards of 2001- to the naptairen. Some 20 boats, with 80 men, were engaged in the capture. and all made a good night's work of it. The chase lasted five hours before they got the whales stranded. CONVICTION FOR HAYMAKINO ON SUNHAT.— At the Atherton petty semions, on Monday, Peter Cleworth and 13 others were convicted, under an act of parliament of the reign of Charles IL. for getting hay in no the Sun. day. The cum had been adjourned for a month to enable the magistrates to consider the state of the law on the subject. The chairman of the beech (Mr. Silveeter) told the defendant Cleworth that they had considered the cases, and had decided that they were guilty of a desecration of the Lord's Day, and a penalty of 50. and costa would be inflicted. Defendant Clewortb— I don't intend to pay. I am advised that your dee:sine is not legal. Mr. Silvester You are very foolish ; for a distress warrsot will be granted against your goods, and you have no appeal. Charles Ben oett, a Collier, was fined in a similar sum " for aiding and abetting." He and several other, were told that if they wo od p a y the coats (Ca. Gd.) no conviction would be re• corded against them. They, however, refused, protesting i against paying anything for saving produce from injury. It is understood that distress warrants will be Weed against these defendants who are householders, and the others, will be incarcerated in the stocks, in accordance with the provisions of this ancient statute. The cases have excited much indignation throughout the neighbour hood. many considering that such convictions are calculated to bring justice into contempt. SERIOUS RIOT or basil REAPERS.—On SundAy night last, about six o'clock, a number of Irish miners commenced to quarrel among themselves in the streets of Wooler. Northumberland, and on Sergeant Murray, who was the only police officer in the town during the whole day, ieterferiog with the intention dwelling the disturbance, he received some severe kicks and blows, and was ultimately brought to the ground by a severe blow with a stone on the beck part of the head. He was taken up quite insensible, and carried to bin home, where he yet lies in a pm-Arlon. state. The inhabitants of the town rendered all the Resistance posaiMe, and on the Irish taking to their heels followed hard after them. Eight of the men were apprehended by the townspeople anal taken to the lock-up the same evening. Several, however, made their escape, amongst whom was the ringleader ; hot ma he can be identified, it is hoped that he will speedily he se cured. Those in custody were brought before Matthew Tewart Culley, Esq., on Monday , an d identified by the townspeople, and remanded until the let September seat, the usual justice meeting day.
