We feel unspeakable pleasure in noticing any ef forts which hold out prospects, though even more remote than we could wish, of measures being sought for, that may ultimately tend to alleviate the miseries now endured by the workmen iu the Manufacturing Districts. We have pressed, and we shall continue to do so, the necessity imposed upon the Community generally, to look after the interests of all the children of the same great family, and to enforce a just pro cedure on the part of the employers to the employed. This is not an abstract question of mere theory only, that may be assented to, and its execution postponed to any indefinite time. It can no more be deferred, without absolute and incalculable injury, than the cravings of hunger. It is impossible, then, that we should feel otherwise than joyful when we see indi- viduals, who, from their rank and character in so ciety, can command attention, exerting themselves to brinc , about some amelioration of the sufferings en dured by the working classes. In The Star of the 27th ultimo, we inserted a letter addressed to us by Mr. Hof.; the respectable Manu facturer, of Manchester, and a copy els letter which he had sent to the Earl of DERBY, urging, in most re• spectful and temperate language, the necessity of measures being speedily adopted to afford some re lief, and procure future justice to the labouring classes. The evil, he pointed out as arising, not from foreign competition alone, but " from the mistaken policy of our Manufacturers, who ought to be the natural guardians of the labour of the Country, but who are ever bent upon reducing the price of that labour whenever the demand becomes languid ; and thus producing a twofold evil, destroying the com forts of the operatives, and, in proportion as the prices are reduced, compelling them, by long hours and ex _ cessive exertion, to the production of an increased' quantity of tLe very frticles which are Already too a i lindant." It now appears, that the '.:tter to the Earl of DERBY had, by some accident, not fallen under his Lordship's observation, at the tim;:. Mr. llovr first wrote to us ; and that, as soon as it did, his Lordship paid every attention to it. The subjoined letter ex plains the circumstances, and will, we hope, tend to rouse men of rank and fortune to do their duty in the present awful crisis—for awful it is, how ever lightly some men may view it ; and we are confident that nothing would tend more effectually to put an end to the wild speculations about Univer sal Suffrage and Annual Parliaments, which have taken possession of so many minds, as the hearty co operation of men of influence, and of Parishes gene rally, to secure to the workmen a just remuneration for their labour. : t , 11. .~ ` i~ o, TO TILE EDITOR OF THE EVENING STAH, " As thou did me the favour to insert in thy widely circulating Paper, a copy of my letter, addressed to the Earl of DEBBY, as Lord Lieutenant of this County (one of which Papers I sent to the Noble Earl my self), and as I made his silence the ground of its pub lication, I am bound, I think, in justice to him, '- the same medium to state, that I have within received two most friendly and ictters. The first containing an assu nch letter ever reached his hands, or, to say, the " character of the writer, benevolent purpose of the letter itself, insured an earlier notice." His last looking over Papers, which daring his had accumulated upon 14 table, the was found concealed wader them, and mseen and anopenetuao the 4th inst. Earl appears convinced, that some be immediately taken, to endeavour at iate the distresses under which the la are suffering ; and, though he states, , in conformity with my reccmmenda- Lieutenant, consistent with his official a Meeting, yet, if the benevolent pur. be brought about under better aus. he will be most happy to contribute :urtherance and success.' most exceedingly that I am not at li ;sh these letters, because, the beneve. cc ow-feeling displayed in every line of them, adds dignity to the high rank he holds, and would afford no small degree of consolation to the , suffering multitudes, who ate taught to believe that men, in the higher walks of life, are Tegardless of their privations and distresses. " The winter is fast approaching, when the diffi culties with which the Poor will have to contend, will be much increased : it is, therefore, imperative upon the leading men in the several Manufacturing Districts, without a mcment'S delay, to tonvene Meet ings (as some have already done) for the purpose of devising the best means of affording relief to those who stand in need of it ; and it cannot be too strongly recommended,. or too often repeated, that there is no . possitality of effectually meeting the difficulty with out first ascertaining its magnitude and importance,_ and this can only be done by a full and impartial examination into the situation and circumstances of the libouring Poor in the several Manufacturing Districts, and making a distinct report of the families who are either 'out of einployment, or obliged to work at prices that preclude the possibility, without the addition - of parochial aid, .of obtaining the' com mon necessaries of life. - It would .be desirabl6 to know the general characters - brilltie familip, and `how long this state Of stiffening has been their 'When this is done, if it itould be seen that the evil Is too gigantic to be effectually reached by such, measures, as are within the adoption of County Meet; ingb then an union of the several Committees through the Empire should take place, for the pur pose of seeking such Legislative aid, as may put an effectual stop to the growing evils, and restoreto the industrious Poorthe comforts they once enjoyed. “ Permit me to subscribe myself, with much re spect, thy obliged friend, DAVID HOLT." " Chorlton Cottage, Manchester, Sept. 6, 1819." In our subsequent columns will be found a more detailed statement of the proceedings in the Assize Court, at Lancaster, than had before reached us.— The Bill against HuNT and his associates, is not confined to the occurrences of the 16th of August. It charges them with having combistd; conspired, &c. on the Ist of July, to excite tumult and dis turbance; then, with the several indications of an evil spirit, repeatedly urged against them, on the 16th of August, viz. their unlawfully,•maliciously, and se ditiously assembling, and causing others to assemble, with offensive weapons, banners, and placards, and in martial array; and finally with remaining so (un lawfully) assembled for HALF an hour, making great tumult, noise, and disturbance !—Mark the ex pression—" HALF an hour !" We have been tra duced and vilified, by certain Prints, for asserting. though w•e had irrefragable evidence for the truth of our statement, that the Military were let loose upon the multitude before an hour had transpired after the reading—if reading it may be called—of the Riot Act : and now the fact that was so stoutly and shamefully denied by these servile hirelings, is put upon record in the Indictment itself. Thus, too, is established the truth of evidence given by the Special Constable, LONGWOOD, before the Coro ner, on the body of DAWSON on the 4th instant, (see The Star of the 6th), that withinffteem minutes, or within half an hour after the Rev. C. W. ETHEL STON had been reading a paper which he could not hear, he saw the Manchester Yeomanry dispersing the People.—This question is, therefore, now put at rest : nor will public credulity, already so grossly abused, be now easily imposed upon by falsehoods more criminal than the fury which they have been fabricated to defend. But the truth has had its ad- vocates, and (as well remarked by a contemporary), since the subject was first discussed by the un bought Press of England. large accessions have been made to that body of opinion and constitutional feeling which require at the hands ef' Government a strict investigation of all the circumstances at tendant on this great paroxysm in our history.— It is not alone the blood of our fellow-subjects which must be appeased ; it is the honour of our Municipal Soldiery, the reputation of the Magistrate, the autho rity of Justice, and of the Sovereign, its sworn pro tector, which must be amply vindicated, or it is weak to imagine that the spirit of domestic peace and happi ness can again revisit the people of this affrighted Land. We have lamented from the beginning, and the Nation now joins us is the hasty impolicy • with which the King's Ministers committed themselves upon this important issue. Had they but taken a little time to reflect, they must have been satisfied the Local' Authorities of Manchester, if acting lawfully, weruld receive much higher suppoif from the law itself than] any that the Otbinet could give them ; and that, if acting against the law, the Ministers who encouraged them must inevitably share their disgrace. The em barrassment of which ordinary .minds might be con scious, when called upon to disclaim or counte nance their partizans in a questionable exercise of power, can be admitted as a plea for no other than ordinary minds. A great man, or a proud Minister, would answer the importunities of his lesser agents, by announcing to them, that he must stand or perish with the laws, for those laws are the foundations of all real grandeur; party is but its instrument." The Courier, when it would carry a point, regards , not who it vilifies. The Grand Jury found a true Bill against Owen for wilful and corrupt perjury, in swearing, that Moonnousz was on the hustin : along with HUNT. According to this advocate of the Manchester Magistrates, he was on the hustings —" he was in a barouche alongside the hustings," and " the hustings consisted of two carts and the barouche." Of course, the Grand Jury did wrong in finding the Bill; for no other -construction ca n be put on the statement. But, in spite of this side-wind censure, the Grand Jury stands completely justified in finding the Bill; for the fact preyed before them was, that Mooasuouse was only taken into the barouche in the way to the hustings; and that he left the ba rouche when HUNT quitted it to get on the hus tings, and p r oceeded to a public-house , wh ich he did not — leave till the Meeting was dispersed.- 2 --- We should like, however, to know the principle on which the Grand Jury threw out the Bills against some, of the Members of the Manchester Yeomanry, for cutting and maiming various individuals on the 16th ultimo, but tl4s information will probably net btrafforded to the Public. Where so many lives have been lost, and so many wounds inflicted, and where both have been the result of military for& employed extensively against the King's subjects; neither Parliament nor the Nation will let the question sleep. Arbitrary violence is a catching : malady. If, therefore, we were to.point out the men who, beyond all others, ought to reel most anxious for offences on both sides to be legally punished on this occasion, we should name the Ministers of the PRINCE REGENT but each passing hour brings with it an assurance, that, whe ther those High Personages pettorm their duty or neglect it, the People of England will do their's. We have received, this morning, Boston Papers of a day later than those we last announced. An extreme drought has lately prevailed in almost every part of the United States, which has proved extremely detrimental to the crops. A letter from Brooklyn, near New York, dated August 3, says:— " We have had the most hot and dry season ever remembered within the recollection of the oldest in habitants, which has proved extremely injarious to the crops of every description, I regret to learn, that in some districts the rot has made its appear ance in the cotton crops, and is likely to prove ex tremely destructive. Accounts from Nashville (Ten nessee), however, and other quarters, state, that these crops wear a most promising appearance, And were never likely to prove more abundant. The country, notwithstanding the extreme heat and drought, has been generally healthy." An article in a St. Kitt's Paper, of the 6th August, confirms the account received at Baltimore respecting the victory obtained by the Patriot Army, in the Pro vince of, Barcelona. The battle took place on the 10th June, . at Chipparo, in Barcelona. After the battle General MARINO took up a position pro mising ulterior advantages. Extract of a Letter from Valparaiso, dated the sth of May :—" We have news from the Squadron at Callao to the 26th March, at which time they had made about half a dozen prizes, of small value, which had been converted into a bomb vessel, two explosion ships, and two fire vessels. Another attack was soon to be made, and Lord CocuRANK had taken possession of the Island of San Lorenzo. Captain Merateic and cfew, of the Cossack, were still de tained as prisoners at the Gulf of -California.— The Macedonian sailed from this port for the Gulf, and we may entertain the hope of the speedy release of our countrymen now in captivity, and that a resti tution of property, most shamefully plundered, will be made, and a stop put to the atrocities which have been committed is that quarter." It is now stated that his Royal Highness the PRINCE , RECENT intends visiting Plymouth about the 15th of this month, should the weather permit.--The Alfred. Lord EasKINE, and several other: persons of dis tinction, are at present on a visit to the Duke of NOR.. FOLK at Arundel Castle. The PERSIAN AMBASSADOR arrived on Monday evening at his house in Charles -street, Berkeley square, from Oxford, his Excellency having post poned going to Cheltenham. Tuesday morning, the 31st ult. PRINCE LEOPOLD left Kinrara, accompanied by the Marquis of HUNTLY and the Gentlemen who form his suite. At six o'clock in the evening he made his entry into Inver ness, amid the acclaniatians of a great concourse of spectators of all ranks and ages. In the evening he honoured the Magistrates with his presence at an ele gant dinner, served up is the Northern Meeting. rooms. He was dressed in black, with the exception of a white waistcoat, and wore the star, riband, and knee-band of the Order of the Garter. His suite were also in full dress. After an excellent dinner, and when the customary hails had been drank, Pro: vost ROBERTSON proceeded to confer the freedom of the town on his illustrious guest, which he did, in a speech very happily expressed, and very impressively deliiered.• His Royal Highness accepted the civic honour with evident satisfaction, and in a deliberate, I distinct manner, but in a low tone of voice, expressed I himself nearly as follows :—" Permit me, Sir, in few words, to return my thanks for the honour that has just been conferred on me, and to express my sense of the very kind reception I have experienced in this quarter. I will always study to prove deserving the name you have just mentioned of a good Burgess of Inverness and I shall be very happy if my services can ever - be of any use to this good town." His Royal Highness's health as a Burgess of Inverness, was then ,drank by the company with an enthusiasm of which we can recollect no similar example. The evening 'passed in a very pleasing manner. His Royal High 'tress left town early this morning (Thursday, Septem 'ber 2cl) for Fort George, where he will breakfast with Governor MAIR. At Elgin he will be entertained , by Colonel GRANT, as Lord Lieutenant ofthe County. He sleeps to-night at Gordon Castle, from whence he returns to Kinrara.
