The Civil Authority, however, very properly intatimed, and took the bellrnan into custody, as the active agent of the combination. This, his em ployers, in great numbers resented; and by the help of iron crows. pickaxes, &c. they forced open the prison door, and li berated the prisoner. Their success, In this instance, made thou still more irregular, and their numbers, en Wednesday, *Marra so great, and their menaces so violent, that the Magis trates did not deem it prudent to persist in the exercise of their duty till they had more nfilitary assistance than six dragoons (all that could be_ spared from other duty within a day's march of .Barkley) could aford t Maned of thh ciretunstuice, the Manchester aid Salford* ',SWOONS+, Cavalry, in the handsomest manner, volunteered thiak*orices, and about twelve o'clotk on Thntsday, whiltt the helaseenared down in torrents, they marched under the command of Captain-liindley. The rain continued during the whole of the /tura, which was accomplished in six hours. The influence of their presence at Burnley was immediately felt, without their being reduced to the disagreeable alternative of applying force in order to disperse their fellow-countrymen. " During the whole of the day, a great number of most tur. bulent characters had possession of the streets, in which all busi ness was suspended. Placards, referring to the outrage of Tues day, bad heen prepared by the proper authorities, but no one had dared to venture amongst the ill-directed populace in order so post them, till the Cavalry were descried approaching the town, when they were immediately made public ; and on the arrival of the Yeomanry, with a promptitude and vigour which did honour to the Gentlemen who composed it, the Civil Power began to act, and in little more than an hour seven of the most violently active of the insurgents were taken into custody, with out any resistance on the part of the crowd, which dispersed inn_ mediately on the approach of the patriotic corps ; and at a very . early hour, that evening, the town was perfectly at peace, and the prisoners conducted (through Padiham) to Blackburn prison, no des the kcort of the six Dragoons already mentioned. " The next day, the Yeomanry accompanied the Magistrates to Padiham, where a meeting had been announced ; but the presence of the force broke the spirits of the refraitory, and, instead of attending an unlawful meeting, the quiet, peaceable, and industrious Weavers who had been forcibly driven from their looms by threats of vengeance by the leaders, had resumed their daily labours, and the click of the fly-shuttle was heard in every loom-house. After a stay of two hours at Faddism, the Cavalry returned to their hospitable quarters at Burnley, whi c h, on invitations so hearty that it was impossible to evade. theni, ware in the private houses of the principal inhabitants, whers they and their horses were treated in a manner which did honiqr both to the town 4:td the Individuals who so very handsomely performed the rites of hospitality to the Gentlemen who had, in so patriodoe meaner, left their acenstotaary pursuits, and ha& tened to mune them from the danger with which they were threatened by a body of men labouring under erroneous, but strongly excited impressions.

The corps then commenced its march. and arrived in Manchester about six o'clock on Saturday evecioi . " In Manchester every thing remains perfectly quiet ; but' we are sorry to say, that it appears that the attack on the fac tory of Messrs. Gray and Co. on the id inst. was not the remit of sudden feeliug, but was a prconcerted measure to destroy the property. The constables of Manchester, assured of this in tention, have therefore offered a reward of Taw hundred Guineas fog' evidence, in order to convict the planners and advisers of the attack ; and his Majesty's Pardon has been promised by his Royal Highness the Prince Regent; to persons.(parties in the scheme) givin,; the necessary information for bringing them to justice."

Two boys, found guilty of stealing apples, were lately ordered to be publicly whipped in Honiton. The three constables employed were convicted of dipping their cat-o'nine tails into blood, to deceive the spectators, and were fined two guineas. Janes Webb and Jame: Gardner, convicted of sheep stealing at Gloucester Assizes, were executed on Sa turday last, in front of the County Jail. The disappearance of a young man, named RO - who held a clerkship in the Ordnance.Otfici, has already been noticed in our Paper. On Monday night, a young man in a smock frock and a red cap was taken into custody by a Constable at Woolwich, having been observed wanderinf about . that place without any apparent business. fhe Constable took him before a Magistrate, where he said his name was ROBERTS ; and, upon further inquiry, it appeared that he was the young man whose sudden disappear ance had caused his family to imagine that he had either been murdered or had committed suicide.— The Constable, by direction of the Magistrate, de livered him to a relation, when he said that Le was sick of a sedentary occupation, and that he had de termined to join the standard of the Independents in South America. A canal from Paris to Dieppe, which is of no small interest to the commercial intercourse of England with France, has been undertaken by a Company of rich capitalists. Their project is now under cons:- deration in the Bureaux of the Minister of the Intc• tior—it is to be terminated by 1812. DISTRIBUTION OF PRI7E-MOSEY. Splrian, for the Eller., Beate, Pastigllone, and Fair Ameri can, on SAtt,rely next, at 12, Cement's Inn; recalled Tuesdays and Tnur.days. A distressing accident happened at Woolwich, on Monday : John Hinton, bellman, was employed to go down a privy for a purse that had been dropped, but had scarcely descended when he was suffocated by the stench. The alarm being given, two seamen, belonging to the Ranwtso, vessel of war, of the names of Brown and Hynes, who were passieg at the time, went promptly down to the poor mans relief; but not having taken any greater precaution than himself, they both unfortunately shared the same fate. . . . We have the pleasure to state, that the Bon Ac cord, of Aberdeen. has brought dispat.kes from our North-West Expedition—the last, in all probability, which will be received this year, as our ships were going beyond the track of all the trading and fishing vessels, hich till then had accompanied their course.' Strange as it may appear, the approach of winter, which begins eery early in those high latitudes, seems to have increased, instead of-shutting out every hope of success. In a private letter from Captain Ross, dated August 1, in lat. 75. 48. N. long. 61. 30. W. he says—" I have but a few moments to tell you, that we have now every prospect of success—the ice is clearing away fast, and the wind is at N. E. Our variation observed on the ice, 88. 13. We have killed a whale, and laid in a stock of blubber for our win ter fuel."—The letters received from other persons, 1 under his command, are of the same date, and equally promising. They state, that the ice was clearing away, and that their prospect of success was improv ing. ing. The most extraordinary phenomenon of the va. nation of the compass had gore on. increasing ;—it was 88s 13. on the ice---,.we say on the ice, for on board ship, owing to some peculiar influence, not yet ascertained, it was much more. The former letters, of which we have already given extracts, mention, that on board ship the variation was at one time 95 degrees, that is, the needle pointed, instead of North,' to the Southward of West. This difference between' the real variation and an apparent variation on board ship was first observed by Captain g: LINDEiti, but it was supposed to be an accidental peculiarity in his ship: it is now clear that it belongs to all ships, and vanes in all, and there would be little doubt that it should be attributed to the influence of the iron about the vessel, except for a curious fact which we under stand has been ascertained ; namely, that the com passes called insulated compasses, which are placed in boxes of iron, and which are uninfluenced by ex ternal iron, when brought near to them, are affected by the ship variation in the same degree as the com mon compass.—This, which is now called the devia tion, has been found to be much greater as the expe riments go Northward. This is accounted for from the circumstance of the dip of the needle diminishing what is usually called its polarity, and allowing it, therefore, to be more easily affected by the local in fluence of the ship. A letter from Ceylon, dated March the 7th, says, A report has reached us, that his Majesty's Go vernment in England were about to erect Columbo into an Archdcaconry, and to place Ceylon under the spiritual jurisdiction of the Bishop of Calcutta. A union and consistency will thus be given to the English church throughout the British dominion;. There are, we believe, several congregations of Pro testants at Columbo, and other parts of the island of Ceylon, which have much increased of late years, under the protection and encouragement of the pre sent Governor ; and the accounts we have seen lead us to think, that the most beneficial effects are likely to result from the ordination of native priests, the mesas for which will be now regularly afforded."

Mr. WILKEP, the landlord of the Crown public. house, at the corner of Dufour's-place, Broad-street, Carnaby-market, was found drowned in the llegent'a Cal on Monday forenoon, at twelve o'clock. He ihad been missing since seven o'clock that morning, when he left home with the intention of proceeding to anelghbouring tailor's shop to scree the workmert with spirituous liquor, and had not been heard of since, till he was found drowned. A watch which the deceased had in his fob in the morning was nos accounted for. He has left a disconsolate widow and six 'children.— A Coroner's Jury sat on the body yes terday. Verdict, Accidental Death. The unusual warmth of the summer, together with the . salubrity of the atmosphere, have riven a size and maturity to various fruits, &c. which they seldom attain ; the size of the acorns this year affords some confirmation of the remark, many of which have been picked measuring three inches round the rim of the cup. The same causes have been equally beneficial to the growth of timber, the midsummer shoot in most of the springs being found to be upwards of two feet. The streets leading into Covent Garden Market were, on Saturday morning last, crowded with carts; of various descriptions, heavily laden with fruits and vegetables, from distant parts of Kent, and tb. counties f Suffolk and Norfolk ; a circumstance never before known.—Onions sold on Saturday, in Reading market, at 3s. per gallon.
