Some apprehend that in the pi CSCW.. prospect of quiet there is something illusive. Let us hope that the contrary will prove the fact, and that, as the Spin nets in that neighbourhood have manifested a dispo sition to return to their regular work, the Masters sill pursue a conciliating, but steady line of conduct, calculated to insure a continuance of the returned tranquillity. We are concerned however to observe, by two let ters from Preston, which we copy, from the Times of this morning, that though the Wcave'ts at Manches ter have returned to their work, in other places there is still some reason to be under alarm. It is knows that throughout not only the whole of Lanca shire, but in Other districts, there was a general understanding among this class, and a determination to insist on an increase of wages. As the Masters round Manchester have agreed to an increase, it May be rea.oaably expected that the example will be followed in other place-, and we therefore still hope that the public peace will not be farther disturbed : " 'MANCHESTER, SEPTEMBER 10. " Nothing has occurred since yesterday to induce even a doubt as to the prospect of order and quiet which we now promise ourselves. Our Police is quite satisfied that the danger is now perfectly over. Every thing now is quite tranquil, and the great mass of the Spinners returning, with as perfect order and regularity to their different factories, as if their labours had neither been suspended nor even inter rupted. One thing however has occurred, respecting the propriety of which, there may be some difference of sentiment :—the masters have stationed persons at the doors of their respective factories, to prevent those workmen who have made themselves most conspi cuous among the Turn-outs, and such es ate consi dered the most designing, from again entering the factories. All access, either as workmen or as visi tors to any of their old acquaintances, is to be pe remptorily refused to them. This system having been, as is confidently asserted, agreed to be followed up, in its full spirit, by all the Masters, of course a con siderable number of the refractory workmen will find it impoSsible to procure any employment, in this place or in the neighbourhood. This visitation comes on them in return for their pompous parades through the streets of Manchester, and in face of the very factories where they had received regular em ployment—even to the Exchange ; where their mas ters, and a concourse of Gentlernen - assembled for commercial, pursuits, were obliged to witness their bravadoes ; and in such a press as not only greatly to annoy the foot passengers, but even, on some occa sons, to prevent the passage of carriages. " We are all greatly rejoiced to find ourselves again in a state of quiet to which we have so long been strangers. Let us hope that nothing may soon occur, again to disturb our peace." ANOTHER LETTER.—SAME HAT T " At present we arc quiet here, and hut little ap prehension is generally entertained of a return of the dangers to which we all considered ourselves greatly exposed. Several of the Factories, as has already been stated in the STAR, have again resumed their manufacturing operations, numbers of the hands have returned to their regular employment, and those who az,:.• not yet at work now thew themselves in only comparatively smell groups—not attempting to pa rade cur streets with that display of numbers which induced a general state of anxiety not to be even con ceived by any but such as have been placed in simi lar circumstances. " The contrast we now witness has produced a de gree of general cheerfulness to which we have for some time been strangers ; but some among us arc far from being convinced that the danger is over; it is true, as I have already stated, that a considerable number of the Spinners have returned to their work. This very circumstance, even had their number been smaller, was calculated greatly to allay the fears of many—as affording a kind of presumptive evidence that the neck of the conspiracy was broken ; but in truth a very ghat number of them still stand out, and there is reason to fear that they are supplied with money by different fraternities of workmen through out the kingdom. " In such circumstances, the wisdom or even pre ilicy of a resolution, which is said to have been adopted by the Masters, may be very much ques tioned: namely, not to give employment to those whom they consider to have been the ringleaders — not to permit them again to enter their premises, but, by a kind of proscription, to compel them entirely to quit this place and the neighbourhood. This is called a necessary degree of firmness, and the men, it is said, must be taught, by exemplary prit•. nishinent, the danger to which they expose them selves, by lawless combiaations. Some of the older heads among us disapprove, however, of this proce dure, and ask whether meetings on the part of the masters, however privately conducted, for the pur pose-o; acting in concert in relation to their work" men, are mere, justifiable or legal than meetings of the NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. • FALmounf, SEPTEMBER 9.

Shortly after .his event, the French regiment by whom he had been taken, gave way, leaving the English officer and one 0f their own men, who was wounded (his leg broken) on the gro..nd—tke Frenchman deliberately .collected several of the car ouch boxes of his fallen comrades, seating him self arnon: them with his rifle. placing two or three knapacks bellne him as a rest for his piece. In this manner he loaded and fired no less than thirty or forty rounds at an English regiment, which was drawn up at a short distance in his front. brini;ing down a man at every shot. At length the Brutish reOmens charged over the ground wh(n'e this de:el :l6nel fellow and the wounded officer lay. Shortly after our informant was removed, and notwithstand ing every inquiry he could afterwards make, never could discover what became of this French man, whom he describes as quite a boy, not having been more than 1G or 17 years of age. It appears from Lorentes' History of the Inqui-i -tion, that the marriage of Charles IL and the niece of Louis XIV. was solemnized by an Auto-da-f6, in which the shrieks and the smoke of 118 hurr::n br ings ascended to Heaven, to propitiate the Goo cl mercy and of love. People could not conceive hew a marriage begun sunder such pious works could he un fruitful. and another A uto-da-f6 was celebrated. It was then said if }leaven was not to be appeased by so many sacrifices, how dreadfully would Gen be enraged, if he were deprived of that Auto-da-le. The last per son who suffered, was a woman. who was public's , burned on the 7th November, I 7SI, at S ev ill e . ii nce that time the Inquisition has gene to work morn cun ningly ; men are no longer publicly denoted to the flames, but they die unperceived in conceal:pent.— Lorentes calculates that the Inquisition alone, in the Spanish Peninsula, under the unintcrtyped dominion of -5 Grand Inquisitors, sacrificed 4 241,000 indivi duals. To appreciate the misery occasioned by this, it must be borne in mind that every condemnation was accompanied by comiscation of propez ty, and the dis honour cf the whole famiiy.
