By order of the Committer. (Signed) " SUSANNAH SAXTON, Sec. " Rooms, ;%lanchester, July 2.0, 1319." MR. BIRCH. ;Ve h i received to-day accounts of as late a date Menciay morning, which represent the wound of E:Rcli as still wearing a favourable complexion. .lanclicster Paper affirms what we hope is not taut " the ball cannot be extracted." A York . states, that " it is lodged between the lobes of lungs, and that the surgeons are afraid of ex ing it."—Another man of the name of William 'son has been taken into custody, charged with one of the persons concerned in the daring ; he has undergone several examinations, and expected he will be committed for trial. With rcvect to the extent of the conspiracy to it the act, it appears that the report which we yesterd ty is erroneous. The conspiracy tiVe o r fuurtcca persons there alluded to relates, :ir e assured, to a party of that number who had themselves about three hours after BIRCII was ..vith the intention of rescuing the prisoner (Mr. .r.isoN), who, it was supposed, would be removed ttely. The followin& is a more correct account than has yet appeared of the original circumstances of this atro cious transaction: Mr. Bra ' had passed through tbe great body of the crowd without molestation, and had arrived within thirty rds of the Rector's gate, when he was accosted by either three or four others being in company. Bruce requested to know where his ma;- tct vas? Butcx replied, in my house, and he will shortly be liberated. At this moment BIRCH appre ' headed some evil design of the parties, and was in the act of springing aside, as ice understand, when he received the contents of a pistol, fired over the left shoulder of Bruce, in the breast-bone. " BIRCH being a muscular man, and possessing also great strength of bone s the ball did not enter by a direct course, (in which case the wound would cer tainly have been mortal), but passed aslant and lodged in or about the lungs. Conscious of the wound, he sprang successively over the pallisadoes encompassing the garden of Mr. LLOYD, ascended a wall beyond them, and sprang from thence into the premises of Mr. LANE, a cotton-spinner, a depth of four yards and a half, in which place he was first heard to call for help, exclaiming that he was shot. Medical aid was immediately obtained, and at his own express wish he was conveyed to his father's house, in the Lower-Hill-gate, where he now lies." ;,;;1.1e7. to I it acti: ;I.•Ve oiti..lllCe 0 C C:vStICo: • . 1 - 1: '7C C!". • .?t to a nal o excb.ez , :d Eita that h irnr: of 1 sflucoce ; polder( enc..avour t or Tailors( Ws of our o.t iron 600 ard t'n( h;. of t "'.tcar S; .n . .craN% :re., of .

MATHEW BROWN, Vicar, was in the Chair, and that the HIGH SHERIFF was either present, or has at least, by his signature, au thorised the proceedings. The object of the Meeting, as our Readers were informed in the STAR some days back, was to encourage the Framework Knitters to resit the low wages given by their employers, by declining to work at the present prices. We are far ther• informed that a rate of ten-pence, in the pound was granted at this Meeting, for the support of those who might he deprived of employment, by refusing to work under the list of prices agreed to by the Masters in 1817. NORTIIWICH. A very numerous Meeting of the Inhabitants of this place and neighbourhood was held on Monday, the 26th July, HENRY CA LVELY COTTON, Esq. ; t the s2hair. Resolutions were unanimously agreed to expressing the surprise and indignation of the Meeting at the "spirit of disaffection, approaching to open rebellion, which has lately appeared in the ma nufacturing districts of Cheshire and the adjoining counties," and their cl.etermination to do their utmost in aid of the Civil Power, in preserving the peace j and enforcing due obedience to the laws of the land. An Address to the PRINCE It Ecrxr was also agreed to, embodying the substance of these Resolutions. CHRIST CHURCH, NEAR 'MACCLESFIELD. Though the Reform Meeting attempted at Christ Church on Saturday, as mentioned in the STAR of Saturday, was so poorly attended, there was a pri vate meeting held on Monday, a,t the same place, to concert measures for calling another meeting, for some early day after the expected Manchester meeting. THE ARMY. A party of the 31st Regiment of Foot, in number nearly 200, entered Manchester on Monday, to be quartered there till further orders. The 85th regiment have marched into Dover Castle and Freights Barracks; from whence the Depots of the 17th, 24411, and 47th regiments, have marched to Deal Barracks. _ The Military Districts in Ireland, now consisting of seven, are immediately to be reduced to four, and denominated the Districts of Leinster, Ulster ? Mun ster, and Connaught. Tuesday se'nnight, Colonel MACIRONI dispatched from Gravesend, the ship Lovell Ann, with 44 Offi cers and 110 picked men from fl a British cavalry and artillery. This will be the last vessel he will send from this country during the prevalence of the Foreign Enlistment Bill. STEAM NA vrGATION. HOWTII, JULY es. Last night, at twelve o'clock, we witnessed the ar rival of the Talbot stu.r.l-packet in this harbour, in one of the densest fogs ever remembered on this coast. She had not left Holyhead till the afternoon of that day, and though it was absolutely impossible to see the boldest shore at even thirty yards a-head, she came to ssithin half a mile of the harbour, and hav ing made her signals, and received answers from the persons stationed on shore by the proprietors, she stood in to the harbour to the admiration of the few. who were present, and who had long heard her steam and paddles, before it was possible to get the slightest glimpse of her. In fact, even the harbour light could not be seen at 100 yards distance, and the crews of the fishing wherries, hearing our voices on shore, were calling out in. all directions to know what land they were near. The fog, however, hav ing cleared away, the Spencer packet, Captain WES TERN, which left Holyhead yesterday with the mail, arrived here this morning, at eight o'clock, with her bows stove in, her stern split down, her bowsprit broken, and her top-must carried away ; which da mage she received by running foul of a brig in the Channel, about three leagues from Holyhead. It is fortunate that the Spencer was not struck on the luff of the bow, or farther aft, as in that case she must have been in danger of going to the bottom with all on board. The alarm of the passengers was:exces sive, but we are happy to add that no fatal conse quences have arisen from this accident ; and it should operate as a warning of the extreme caution neces sary in carrying sail in thick weather, and of the ne cessity of vessels in such circumstances continually ringing their bells, or otherwise making signals, to prevent others running on board of them. The Spacer is undergoing a temporary repair here, to enable her to cross to Holyhead, where she can be refitted. NAVAL INTRELIGENCE.

COWES, JULY 31. The Isle of Wight Regatta, notwithstanding the other attractions of Winchester Races and Portsdown Fair, drew together a larger assemblage of Nobility, Gentry, and Fashion, than on any former occasion. The fineness of the weather added to the gratification felt by every beholder ; and the arrangea . .ents gave universal satisfaction. The Review, on Wednesday, .of all the Pilot Vessels, shewed the utility of this an nual Nautical Parade, as the owners vied with each other in the complete equipments of their respective craft, which were all declared, by the Commissioners of Pilotage, in a proper state for useful and arduous service. The Ross ing Match which followed, for three Purses, was well. contented by the :following boats, and won by the Smolensk°, R. Clark, steers man, first ; Eclipse, Windover, second ; and Waxy, Ward, third. 'Thursday's Sailing Match exhibited a fine display of nautical skill and activity, and great knowledge of the locality of the tides and currents, by the under mentioned vessels, and which was won, by a long distance, by Mr. Edward Stevens's Portsmouth and Cowes Passage Vessel, the Fox ; though , in the two first heats, very closely followed by the Favourite.— Contrary to the usual custom of allowing them only three sails, the conditions this season admitted of sails of all sizes and descriptions, and some singu larly new ones were exhibited to aid the speed of the vessels. The four winners came in in the following .order in the respective heats:— Fox, Stevens, 1 1 1 23 Guineas. Favourite, Caws, 22 2 13 Guineas. Flaelity, Fran cis. 4 4 3 12 Guineas. Traveller, Judd, 3 3 4 10 Guineas. Upwards of two hundred vessels and boats, with streamers flying, enlivened - the scene; and the larine Band, on board of Mr. LINDEGREN'S Yacht, added not a little to the gaiety of the day. The Dinner, at the Hotel, at East Cowes, on the first day, was numerously attended by the Gentle men of the Yacht Club and their Friends, with Lord CRAVEN in the Chair; and the Ball on the following evening, under the Stewardship of the Marquis of ANGLESEA and T. HALIFA.:, Esq. was splendidly attended. The Sweepstakes for 150 guineas, between the Marquis of ANGLESEA, Mr. WELD, and Mr. W. BA RING, in their respective Yachts, did not commence till Tuesday, it having been calm on the preceding day, and so little wind prevailed during the race, that it was 16 hours before the vessels had run over the distance of 30 miles. Yesterday the contest was again resumed for the second heat, but the wind, though more auspicious, was still light, and at four o'clock the Eitierald, Lord ANGLESRA'S vessel, for a second time, won the heats ; she was followed, in about fifteen minutes, by the other two vessels.— These Vessels only used three sails, and were admir ed for the activity and skill with which they were worked. The whole•of this delightful amusement passed off without any material accident, with the exception of the upsetting of a boat, in which were Mr. ALEXAN DER CLARKE, of the Academy, Newport, his Lady, Lieutenant COOPER, R.N. and Miss FRANCIS, of this place, which was occasioned by the boats running foul of the Prince Cobourg's hawser ; several boats, however, immediately went to their assistance, and' succeeded in saving them. Miss FRANCIS was much exhausted, indeed almost lifeless, but with the appli-, cation of proper remedies, she soon recovered. The Isle of Wight never, at any one time, was honoured with so much rank, fashion, zed beauty; nothing was wanting but the presence of his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, who was most anxi onsly expected, and whose absence was sincerely re gretted. His Royal Highness's Yacht was in Cowes Roads on Tuesday, and her Commander, the Hon. Captain PAGET, permitted any Lady or Gentleman to go on board, to view her superb and elegant fit tings and appointments. Amongst the Noblemen and Gentlemen's Yachts we observed those of— The Marquis of Anglesea, the Earl of Craven, Lord Grant ham, Sir Arthur Paget, the Hon. Captain H. Paget, Sir William Curtis, Bart. Captain Frederick Berkeley, Rev. George Capper, William Baring, Esq. S. Chatten, Esq. William Curtis, Esq. William Green, Esq. J. Gordon, Esq. Captain E. L. GrAam, J. Gulaton, Esq.

Yacht, LIQUIDATION OF NATIONAL DEBT. TO THE EDITOR OF 'WE STAR. SIR—To enable this Country to uphold its conse; quence among Natioas, to support the character which its great achievements ?Ave acquired, to place us iu a situation which ssould at once commapd re spect from without, and ensure to us tranquillity within the Realer, wonld require something molt than economy; as will the distresses of the Poor; some more efficacious remedy than is to be found either in parallelograms or poor-rates. As a man who is incarcerated for debt, is restrain ed from making even an effort to help himself, at) are the natural powers of this kingdom weakened, its energies cramped and bound down by the enoi mous amount of the National Debt. This mill-stone is the sole cause of the public distress ; and while the work ing and lower classes are compelled to pay from their scanty means, a portion of the Forty Millions of In terest annually raised, we have no prospect what ever of an end being put to the general discontent. We arc, it is true, at peace, and indeed it would be downright madness, with such a debt on our shoul ders, ever to think of going to war : and so, unfor tunately I am afraid for us, think most of onr neigh bours--a peaceful behaviour, therefore, suits our pre sent situation amazingly. But who shall say that that which operates on us (Poverty) to make us desirous of remaining at peace, might not have a directly ' opposite effect on some of our neighbours? And what, it might be asked, ('situated as we are at this moment with seditious assemblages •of the people from one end of the kingdom to the other), would be the position in which this country would be placed, were advantage to be taken of our weakness, and war to be declared against us? Could we, in the midst of public distress and general dissatisfaction, think of imposing additional Taxes, which if the people were even disposed to submit to, they would soon find they could not bear? This, then, is our present situation—that we must remain at peace, to enjoy even the disturbed rest of a man in a fever; ' surrounded as we are by sedition and riot : and if war should unhappily be declared against us, we must beseech our enemies to allow us to remain quiet, for that we really have not the wherewithal to defend ourselves. It this be no an overcharged picture of our actual state, and if it be really true, that the cause of the difficulty and. distress under which the country is la bouring, may be referred to the National Debt—it surely then behoves us to turn our whole attention, and to use our utmost exertion, to remove such cause: and for this purpose no plan has been suggested so feasible as that which first appeared in your Paper of the 6th instant ; and which propo , ed to reduce, not entirely to discharge the National Debt, by means of a Lottery. The very considerable degree of pub- lic interest which that article excited, and the gent. ral approval which it met, will, it is to be hoped, pro cure for it due notice in the proper quarter. I remain, Sir, your obliged and obedient servant, London. 3Cth July, 181 P. Monday, according to annual custom, the silver arrow was shot for at the But, on Harrow-on-the- Hill, by twelve of the young Gentlemen ec'scated at the school, which was won with difficulty by Master FRAZER. Six Indians of the Cherokee nation have lately ar- - . rived at Liverpool from America. . ConN-Exc H A NOE, MARK-LANE, AUGUST 4—We have had no fresh arrivals of 1 , 1 heat since Monday, from which day a tolerable large quantity remained over for this morning's market, but the weather con tinuing favourable the trade was exceedingly heavy, but fine \Vheat was disposed of, obtaining Monday s prices. Fine fresh Oats sold rather freely, hut not on better terms. In Barley, Beans, and Peas, there is' no alteration. EXECUTION IN PRUSSIA.—The following is an ex tract of a private letter from Berlin, dated July 23 : " A murder. comrni!ted five months ago, under circumstances of all aggravated nature, was doomed this day to be expiated by the death of the offender. An old man engaged in jewellety 1 and watch-making, and residing in a populous horse (many fa.. milieu, as in Parise here inhabiting the sumo house) in Berlin, was musdered in the dead of the night by a man in whom be placed contitree, and whom he had formerly supported by hts bounty. The executions of the Prussian Capital take place about an English quarter of a mile from the gate of Oranien burg. A triangular gibbet is raised in the centre of an exten sive plain commanding a view of the city ; attached to this gib s bet is a stone platform, lightly railed in with iron, so as to ad mit of all that takes place being distinctly viewed by the sur rounding spectators. A large grave was dug in the front of it. The fetbund was kept by a detachment of Prussian Lancers, formed in hol'ow square, and enfiladed round the execution place by an haler square of the Infantry Guard. About half an hour before the aFpcnrtnce of the criminal, twelve persons, emcee dont ts and police-officers, and two little boys as assistants, mounted the scaffold, and fixed the strangling cords. At length the buz of the surrounding mult:tude, the flourishing of naked sabres, and the gallop:ng of the Officers, announced the slow approach of the.crimim I t.pon a hurdle drawn by six horses. On his approach the word of eonimand flew through the ranks, the alms presented, the drums heat, and colours and lancers` flags were raised, until he had mounted the scaffold. Dsring the yet short moment that remained for him to make his last, his espiring peace with his effLeded Maker, no Ecclesiastic (as in England) appeared to gild the horrors f eternity—at those awful moments, when religion arrays herself in her brightest robes, and bids the expirirg criminal sink into her everlastitir arms, with hope, it nut with security—no dying and rervtaut prayer closed the quivering lips of the blood-stained murderer. Never shall I forget the one bitter look of imploring agony that he threw around hint, as almost immediately on stepping on dm scaffold his coat was rudely tern from off his shoulders:— He was then thrown down, the cords placed round his melt, which were drawn by the executioners until strangulation al most commenced, cr at least until the luxation of the neck was effected. Another executiener then approached, bearing in bis hands a heavy wheel, rimmed with iron, with which he first smashed hi s irg.bones, then bis stomach, then his arms and chest, and lastly, his head. 1 was, unfortunately, near enough to be witness of his mang'td and bleeding body being still convulsed, as it was carried down for interment, and In much less than ra minutes from the first beginning of his torture the corple was completely covered with earth ! Several large tonnes which ws firs: thrown upon him, to be sure, hastened his lastgavp, but he was at least a quarter cf an holm in being rnangledinto eternity:" I 1 h. 1 ~ '• , 1 1 i If. . 1 • , 3,,,. •. i - I oi. i , • ,i ! e ‘1 1 i I . 1;. • ~ . • . • 1'• .. 1 1 i !
