Hansa GVAADII, Aug. 9, lett. From the irregular manner in which Regiments have recently been found to leave their ammunition behind them, upon a change of quarters, the Commander-in.( hief apprehends that Commanding Officers misunderstand the Regulations of the Army on_ this head. In page 102 of the "Orders and Regulations of the Army" it is stated, that where there is more ammunition than can be "conveniently removed with a Regiment, the Commanding Officer is to cause such ammunition to be redelivered into the Ordnance Stores ;" by which it must be understood, that It is in no case to be left in quarters; and further, that this delivery into the Ordnance.Storee can apply only to circumstances wherein Regiments happen to be possessed of such a quantity of ammuni. tine as cannot be moved with the Corps, and not to the supply issued half-yearly for the immediate use and service of the Batta lion. His Royal Highness therefore desires, that when the Spring end Autumn allowance of ammunition has been issued, upon the usual requisitions, Commanding Officers he held responsible for the preserution and carriage of all that has not bees espended in the pritetice or service of the Corps. It is an essential pin of the duty of Comminding Officers, and, node? their superintendence, of Captains of Companies, to see that the ammunition in possession of the men is properly preserved; and it is important that su!diers should he habituated to the care of their ammunition, in proportion as they are taught to set a high value upon it. l'lrhitti a liegiment changes quarters, therefore, it is proper that a proportion of the ammunition should be issued to the men, to be carried by them in their pouches, and that any remaining in store should be conveyed in the usual manner of other Regimental stores, under charge of the quartermaster.

Althou A h the people of this town and neighbourhood have had their portion of the distress is hich prevailed, and, to a certain extent, still prevails,' in the manufac turing districts, the contagion of disturbance has not reached them, nor do I believe there is any disi-o•ition to disorder among the working classes here. F. on) the commencement, good advisers, generous benebc-ors, and a variety of circu instances, combinei to tranquillise the minds of the people. In the first place, the banks of this town remained unshaken amidst the general con fusion of the currency, and continued, by their opera tions, to enable the manufacturers to give employment after several adjoining factories had ceased to work. When want of employment and distress began,' the wealthy inhabitants subscribed liberally to the support of the poor, and the prompt and humane attention 'which the applications for reef from this wen met with on the pat of the authorities in LOndonoended more than all to inspire col.fi fence in the Gov( roment ; and I have heard m any of the unfortunate poor express their gratitude, from the opinion that their sufferings occupied the serious attention of his Majesty's Minis 'tern. The first application for relief was to Mr. Peel, who returnel an early answer, announcing his Majesty's subscription of 5001. fur the relief of the poor of Roch dale. An application was also made to Mr. Ilit-kisson, on th, part of the Relief Committee, for permis s ion to 'my bondeJ corn for the tt,e of the poor.. The return of post brought the Right Hon. Gentleman's answer, ex. plainiog how the Committee might 4t(ii3X, the object they had in vi.-w. The only factory now unemployed in Rochdale is in extensive one, which .was Ole property of the late Mr. Holme, of this town. After that Gentle matt's death, it became the subject of a suit in Chancery, 'and its operations were suspended, by which 19.5' wea -1 ten were thrown out of employment, who, with their families, consisting of 1.200 persons, became dependent on chatty fir support. A petition, signed by a number of those persons, has been forwarded, through the Cu rate of this parish. to the.Linli Chancellor, praying his Lordship to take such steps as will enable the parties claiming the factory to set it to work; to whch his Lordship immediately replied, by calling for such in formation as would enable him to ascertain whether he could meet the wishes. of the petitioners. i send you a copy of the letter, which I procured from one of the petitioners, who warmly expressed his gtatitude for the 4,eady and polite attention which their application re ceived from his Lordship : " Stn—l should be extremely glad to be of any use to the per sons whom petition you have sent me, but I am whoUy uninformed, except by this pukka:, of any will of Holme, of Rochdale, being in the Court of Mowery, and, of coarse, I cannot know what such will would authorise the Court to do in any respect. If the will is the subject of any suit in the Court of Chancery, and the parties could give the name of the cause, or of the suitors and solicitors concereed to ft, I might, by inqui. be able to learn so much of the betimes., as to know whether the Court can do anything useful to the petitioners. if I could be supplied with any such information, I mead readily inquire Into eke matter. As to setting the late fac tory to work by any authority that I have, I apprehend it amino be thought I have any such audsoeity ; and for the reason I have assatioaed, I cannot Itnew'silist the litigating parties can or cannot de. " I sat, with the respect which I learn is due to you, " Sir, your obedient Servant. (Signed) * 1 EL DON." Telles itev..l.Asphiall, Rochdale." The particulars called for by his Lordship have teen forwarded, and the poor weavers expect to he it iu . few days, whether it is ia his kower tr. ;el•tve, tl,c:iii. ASSI2C Ititi4.LiGENCE: LANCASTER, Amur! 14. VfAiCEMILLD AND MISS TURNZIL The Court was crowded to excess at an early boo', this morning, in consequence of its being rumoured that not only Kiward Wakefield, but also his brother Wil liam, would apply to the Court to be allowed to traverse the misdemeanor, for which a bill was found against them, oa Saturday last, by the Grand Jag. The Ladies, however, were excluded from it, by the circum stance of a charge of rape standing first in the business of the day. It was stated, however, that *considerable number of theirs were locked up in theOrand Jury-toot°, upon the understanding that they were to have *titbit tance into the Grand Jury-box as soon as the race case was concluded. A Gentlyman in Court informed es, that among the Ladies thus expectant was Mrs. Wil liam Wakefield, and two other Mends, Mrs. Chambre, a cousin of the High Sheriff, and Mrs. Bathurst, a daughter in law to the Bishop of Norwich. It is said that Mr. Wm. Wakefield' has no right, to traverse, and that the Counsel for the prosecution are so convinced of it, that they think it unnecessary to at• tend the motion which his Cosmsel ate instructed to biiag forward upon the point. It is likewise said; that Mr. Turner is anxious to have William's trial brou;ht forward now, in the expectation that Elward - Wakefield will, in that case, waive his right to traverse, .frotii sit wish to prevent the brunt of this con:est, which Ought to fall chiefly upon him, as principal, from falling en tit ely, in the first instance, upon his brother,wlto is merely. an accomplice. On the other hand, pe .ple assert;that if Bdward Wakefield should persist in traversing, Mr. r Turner will in the long run, as matter of policy, consent to William's doing the same; for as the same fact s i which ate detailed n the prosecution of the one, must also be detailed in the prosecution of the other, Alt. Turner going to trial now against William would dis close to Edward the whole of the evidence to be pro. duced hereafter against him, and would thus give him the in•erval between the present and the nett Aslizn to collect witnesses, and to devise glosses, which might fritter away the legitimate force of . B.- A few hours will decide the degree of credit to which each of these on dies is entitled. A little before eleven o'clock Mr. Sergeant mobs and Mr. TINDAL entered the Court for the purpcise of bringing forward some motion on behalf of the Wake-. , fields. Mr. Justice Park had just finished summing up the evidence in the case of rape, and the Jury had re t'red to consider of their verdict. Mr. Tindal; who presented a very formidable appearance, from the three large and heavy volumes of law which he carried under his arm, addressed the L-arnei Judge, and tad bias that there was a short point which his lesrned friends and himself were anxious to submit to his Lordship. Mr. Justice Nal said, he could not hear the motion until the ri‘lng of the Court. 'He judged it would take up some rime, it he might calculate u po n the ponderous mass of law with wills la the Learned Gentletrskn was armed. Mr. TINDALL intimated that it would not, but thk conversation was dropped. At five o'clock, Mr. Brougham, Mr. J. Williams, Mr, 'Tindall, and Mr. Park, came spin into Court ; and Mr. COLTMAN stated to his Lordship that indictments had been found this Assizes against g. 0. Wakefield. Mr. Justicentax said he could not, on a etiminaicharp, MUM motion until the parties accused were in Court, and had violist : Mr. TINDALL said, that with respect to E.G. Wale field, lie was now actually in custody in the Castle for felony, and it was an every day': practice, when a per son was committed for a felony, and 14 no bill" found by the Grand Jury, for the Learned Judge to order his diecha! ge. Mr. Justice PAIIIC—As the prisoner's name is in the calendar, I am bound to treat him as I would any other prisoner, and , if he stands there now to answer all charges against him, the proper way is to have the charges against him read, and let him then say whether he is guilty or not,"and then I shall be ready to hear any motion as to bail, or . anythintelse. • Mr. CoLvisas—But we contend, My Lord, that Mend gibbon Wakefield is not bound to answer the charge this Anises. , - Mr. Justice Pa um—But he is bound to plead. Mr. COLT MAN—We contend, my Lord, that he is an impitie. Mr. Wm. Wakefield was then called woo his recognizastees, and having appeared, was placed in the dock.• Mr. Tsiroaku. said, it was not usual toplace a person in the dock who was out on baU for a sidsdetneemour. Mr. Justice Pam: having asked Mr. Hopkins if suck was the practice, and having been answered In the affirmative, ordered Mr. W. Wakefield out of the dock. Mr. E. G. Wakefield was then placed at the bar, and the Cles lc of the Crown having read the Bill found against him, asked him whether he was guilty or not.guitty ? Mr. COLTMAN' submitted, that Mr. E. G. Wakefield was not bound to plead at this Assizes. He appte 'tended, that a party was never bound to plead instanter, except in c ises of treason or frflony, or where the party was in custody for a misdemeanour upon process. Is this case no process had issued against Mr, 4 Gibbon Wakefield, for a misdemeanour. Mr. Wakellsid was now in custody for an offence, for which no bill had been found, and therefore he was entitled to. Ifis dis charge in that respect. With respect-to tho.bill for a misdemeanour found at this Assizes against biti_Wake field, he would submit that Mr. E. Gibbon Wakefield was not bound to plead.

He therefore trusted his Lordship worth' be of opinion, that the 60th qeo. 3,.did not, is a case like the present, abridge the Common Law rights .f the 1,11,1 , ner, iond that his Lordship would only call •inn M..
