W00A9.--The wife of Kelly was yesterday examined by Mr. GAIIIETK for upwards of three hours; nothing, however, was elicited from her to throw any light on this mysterious business; the gave her information in a clear and collected manner, and when informed by the Magistrate that he would be under the necessity of sending her to trial, she observed, " Oh, Lord, certainly, Sir, I only think it but right." She and her husband, who has been for the last three days in New. gate, were accordingly fully committed for trial. The prevailing opinion is, that there may have been a quarrel between Kelly and the deceased, and that mutual blows passed, when Mr. Wogan re ceived the wound of which be bled to death in the course of the night.—Dublin Marais, Roesler of Friday. About three months since a poor man, named William Wilson. residing at loan Green. a member of the religious persuasion called Ranters, Mewed evident symptoms of ailiseedered intellect. Early in February last, one Saturday rrelling, he broke oat into the meet violent paroxysm of religions frenzy. He told his wife that it was his intention to sit up, as he expected some religious company from Heaven ; that it was the day of his nativity, and that at a certain hour be expected the ILIDICZKER en earth to visit him. His wife, observing the unhappy state he was in, wished to sit up with him • this appeared to make the miserable man quite out rageous; he prayed in the most fervent manner, and, being disap. pointed of his heavenly visitor, declared that the wrath of heaven was about to descend upon the place, and that be must leave it. lie imihediately ran nut, without his hat, and ptoceeded to Not tingham, when, passing the shop of Mr. Sensual Fox. be went ia and uttered the most furious denunciations, declaring that Divine vengeance would shortly visit the town of Nottingham, and warning every person to leave it. He then proceeded towards the Trent Bridge, and finding also the shop of Alderman Barber open, called there, and repeated his warning for every person to quit the town. One evening, about five weeks after this period, he left Nottingham, and was no more beat d of. His friends supposed either that he had perished accidentally, or that be had destroyed himself in a fit of insanity; and so certain were his family that be was dead, that his wife had gone into mourning. In this persuasion the family re mained until a few days since, when to their great surprise, they received a letter, written in hi s by the gaoler of Northampton, dated the 17th ult. stating, that the unfortunate being bad been takes up on a charge of horse-etealinf, bad been tried at the last Assizes for Northampton, found guilty of the offence in qu estion and that sentence of death had actually been recorded bhn. In consequence of this letter some of his friends proceeded to North ampton, where they found him in prison, still labouring under the religious delusion, but appearing perfectly resigned to his fate. and declaring that it was the will of GOD. The account of the circumstances attending his apprehension for the crime mputted to him, and which had also been stated by the prisoner in his defence, was as follows :—After leaving this neighbourhood, be 5.11.!, he walked on towards London, and his feet becoming sore %V I h walking, be fell on his knees and prayed to GOO to send him a horse ; to this supplication be states he thought he received an an ewer directing him to take possession of the first white horse he should see. On going we his journey towards Northampton, he okterved a person riding a white or grey horse ; he followed him to an inn, where the horse was put into a stable, and as soon as the owner had left it, the unfortunate fanatic walked into the stable and wok out the horse. He was riding of with it when deader followed, and asked him by what authority be took the bowl to which question his answer was, that "the Loan had comosanded biro." Durk% the whole term of his imprisonment, he had never stated where his lionneetions resided, or whether he had a wife and family. He was, before this aberration of mind, always considered a good and harmleis character. Measures have hero taken to l a y th e p art i cu l ars o f the case before the Secretary °I --164tt ; who, e make no doubt, will consider tbe poor man entitle) to the t rlief his unfortunate malady requires.—Nottingham jf,ruld.

The Ist Regiment of Life Guards marche4 yesterday, in conse quence of previous orders, from Windsor for Nottingham. The Ist Battalion of the 3d Regiment of Guards snatched yes terday from Windsor, to Knightsbridge Barracks. One Squadron of the 12th (the Prince of Wales's) Royal Regt. (Lancers) received prders to march yesterday, from Hampton Court to Windsor Barracks. A Detachment of the Ist Battalion of the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards having marched from Windsor at an early hour yesterday morning, leaving only a aerjeant's guard, the detachment arrived at the Barracks at Knightsbridge at a quarter past one o'clock: they would have proceeded towards Manchester, hut there were no fly boats in readiness to convey them, nor is it supposed they will be ready till Wednesday. The other detachment of this Battalion is en its march from Brighton, to join them. Tuesday morning, a Troop of the King's Dragoon Guards, sta tioned in Leeds Barracks, set out ou their route for the neighbour. hood of Blackburn, to assist in suppressing the riots there ; and at one o'clock in the afternoon of that day, another trhop of the same regiment proceeded to the disturbed parts of Lancashire for the like purpose. Wednesday afternoon a third troop left the Barracks, and took the shortest route to Addingham, in consequence of an express received front Orley. The 63d Regiment, which marched from Chatham on Saturday morning, and arrived at Pimlico and Chelsea on Sunday noon, are not to proceed to Manchester, the men composing k not being deemed calculated for such service, but yesterday morning were marched for Windsor. The Troops in Lancashire will keep advancing as the reinforce. ments arrive, so that a force will be concentrated in the disturbed districts sufficient to awe the rioters, it is hoped, without having occasion to I►av,e recourse to the shedding of blood. The following is an extract of a letter, dated Liverpool, Sunday Keening. 5 o'Clock :—" The War-office steam-packet P.merald Isle has just arrived with a detachment of 450 men (the 73d Rest.) from Dublin, which place Ate left at three o'clock this morning, and who, we understand, are to march at three o'clock to-morrow morning for Manchester. It is understood thar•fhe orders for the troops to be sent to Manchester were received in Dublin onS-turdays" Returns have been printed, by order of the House of Commons, &hewing the number of Officers of the Army of each rank on full and half-pay, respectively; on tint 21itla March, 1822 and 1896. The general result is as follows : 1822. ' 1826. Number of Officers on Full Pay . 5,379 6,173 On Half Pay . . . 8,9411 7.666 The estimated charge of Army half Pay was, in 1822, 758,3811., and in 1826, 715.3321., being on an average only about 931. per annum, or rather more than ss. a day for each unemployed Officer. DISTURBANCES IN LANCASHIRE. Letters from Manchester, dated Sunday evening, state, that Saturday night passed over without any dis turbance in that town. but about noon on Sunday, an express arrived from Middleton, with intelligence that the looms in a factory near Oldham had been destroyed that morning, and that the mob was advancing in great force towards Middleton. Part of the Cheshire 'Yeo manry and the Rocket Corps were dispatched immedi ately to that place. The passengers by a coach, which left Oldham about three o'clock on Sunday, reported that all was quiet then, and that the looms in only one mill at Lees had been destroyed. Oldham, Hyde, Staley Bridge, and Middleton, have all extensive steam loom factories, and great reliance is placed on the strong interest which the population of these places, which is almost entirely dependent on these factories, have in the preservarion of the looms, so that it is thought a determined resistance would be made to any attempts of strangers to destroy them. The destruction of looms has hitherto been confined to comparatively small factories ; one house at Hyde (the Ashtoni), pos-eases atone, it is said, a greater n w mber of looms than stli that have yet been destroyed. At half-past five o'clock on Sunday all was quiet its Manchester; but intelligence bad been received from Rochdale, that the mob were surrounding Fillings' facto' y there. The expectation, however, was, that the ttoops.would arrive in time to protect it. One factory had been attacked at Hugh Crompton, about two miles and a half from Oldham. With re.pect to the town of Manchester, little ap prehension is entertained of the generality of the work people; they are well informed, ant/therefore not easily led to embark in . mischievous projects. But there are many thousand emigrants of a very different character; and with respect to these, it is said, considerable appre hension prevails. On S unday night the Rev. W. John son, A the Minister of St. George's, which is situated in the centre of a district inhabited chiefly by the Irish, published an Address, pointing out forcibly the ab surdity of the course pursued by the rioters. This Address was attentively perused. MA NCH FSTER, Sammy Evzrnto, Sit o'CLocc. On Saturday, there were some thousands of people assembled about the factories in the neighbourhood of Great Ancoat's•lane. They were, however, dispersed by the military , the latter meeting only with a slight resistance, in which two privates were wounded by the throwing of stones. To-day all is perfectly quiet. . There are some assemblages of people in the streets, but they appear to be attracted more by idle curiosity than by any desire of doing mis chief. The greater part of the persons engaged in the riots of Thursday and Friday, are said to have been Irish labourers and other low people, there being. comparatively speaking, but few weavers among them, and those that were there, were by no means the most active. The Boroughreeve, constable, and Magistrates, is con juaction with General Harris, have issued proclamations, in which they call upon the people not to remain in the streets after dark, and state that they have given directions to have all the public houses cleared at nine o'clock. An express arrived here from Oldham about an hour ago, stating that the populace were rioting in that place, and calling upon the General of the district to send _them military assistance. Accord ingly two troops of cavalry hive been despatched there, and have just passed the window where I am now writing. At Stockport the people are perfectly quiet. The manuf.ieturers of that place held a meeting • last Friday, es, which meeting they passed resolutions, declaring that the weavers were in a dreadful Kati of suffering for want of employ, and that their good conduct upder suck suffering fully entitled them to every assistance on the parts of their employers. They further declared, that they believed the distress was (teatimes' by the low rate of wages paid by some manufacturers, sod recommended that a scale of wages should be adopted.•—A considerable number of power looms have been de stroyed, but not near so many as generally reported. HYDE (xsan•MANCHESTER), Aram £9. The various mobs in and round Manchester, have given out as their determination to come over to Hyde and destroy all the ma chinery in our factories. The different masters have consulted with their men, and all are resolvediupun making a defence. The mills', are now armed with all the guns they can borrow in the country, and each is provided with a quantity of pikes, and several cart loads of large stones taken to the top to throw down on the people. The masters with the men remain on watch all night. I was yesterday requested to go over to Stockport and apply for more firearms; the • Magistrates have sent to Chester for us. It is surprising that they have only fifty soldiers in Stockport, of course none can be lent to us. If we escape any notice tin after Monday, I think we shall be safe, for by that tints wet shell have troops and the factories well defended. itaL the. machinery were destroyed, we should have so large.a Stipulation thrown -out. of work, that it might take an the land in the township to support them. Even now relief is not asked as i Charity, but More like a demand; and a r se men pa lading through thi courftey einer every dwelling-house, taking out • what they please. At the outskirts of the town of Manchester, Ilia's an he lasL day, they' step every deeent-loatig - perititi;aad down MANCHRSTRR, Aran. 29. Yesterday the mob here was very outrageous in the forenoon ; so much so, that they entered several shops, took out prueitions, At. demanded money, and stopped people of decent appearance in the open street and robbed them of rheir money, watches, ave. All the shops in Oldham-street, Anker's-street, Newtoo-street, ate. were doted the whale of yesterday. About •even o'clock this evening I went up to the New Cross, and found ate quiet. We have the Cheshire Cavalry here, with a good .upuly of other troops; and, with the assistance of the civil power, and with the plan they now go upon, I fully expect they will br able to keep them quit , . /deist of the factories that have got any of the offensive machinery in them have people inside them with fire arms ; on that account the mob may not attempt again without they get much the upper hand. It is my opinion, if the mob should make a further stand against the military, they will fire upon them to put a stop to these things. They have taken many up as prisoners- Swum v bloannms.—All quiet last night. BLACKBURN. APRIL 29. This town is perfectly tranquil, but the populace aesemlsle tu multuously, in various parts of the neighbourhood continually, and every day some assemblage requires the presence of the military for their dispersion. Mr. Gantett's finery at Clithero has not been attacked a second time. The needier of insurgent* on the former occasion was not less than 20,000. Fifty riflemen are within the bundles. Two troops of Dragoon Guards are there, as well as part of the Craven Legion, so that I conceive the multitude will scarcely venture to move on the place, whilst so strong a military force is there. , Mr. ---,one of ear Magistrates, went out with some Croons at one o'clock this morning, to a hamlet called Bell Thorn, about three miles hence, and secured seven of the most active of those who bad committed the coinages at Hatlingden and Over Ilkaiseen.— They were taken out of their beds, and on examinatiati,lt proved that they were nor out of employment, as their looms Were fall of work. - The must desperate of the insurgents, are those who least feel the pressure of the times. Mr. went out with two troops of Drigooos,aod dispersed a large mob this afternoon near Bell Thorn, taking three notorious ? trams prisoners, of whom he had received information. The pikes that have been seized are chiefly old ones, fabricated in the radical days of 1119, which have been buried ever since, and are now dug up (or the work of mischief. ROCHDALE, Aran. 29. In an their distresses, the spirit of the working dames of this town is laudable in the extreme; they have not yet 4 the slightest degree partidpated in the messes of riot which have broken out in the neighbouring place, nor. will, in my opinion. unless instigated to it by strangers, who come in from all pans, with a view to create disturbances here also. We have here several handfed families totally unemployed, and those who have work have net more . gene rally than two or three days' work per week. Our Coroner sat yesterday at Edenfield, near Bury, and Is gone again this inorning. He knew of six dead, and a great many wounded, of the party who came down from Blackburn, Cohn, and neighbdurhood, for the purpose of breaking power looms. ANOTHER ROYAL DONATION. It will he seen by the following letter from Mr. Secretary Pen., that his Manse* has sent a donation of 4500 for the relief of the distressed in Rochdale: . " Mxtranat t. , APRIL 24,11126. " Saa—l have this day received your letter of the 2241 inst. and have communicated the substance of it, and of the inclosurst which accompanies it, to the King.

" The funds at his Majesty's disposal are very limked ; but seeing the exemplary patience with which the distress of the working classes of Rochdale has been borne, and the local curdles which have been made to alleviate that distress, his Majesty cannot deny himself the satisfaction of alleviating in some degree deo imitating. which he so much laments.

Although vast numbers ef .teeple were as sembled in the principal streets, and although the) , laselted the military, especially the Cheahhe Cavalry; and every well-dressed person who passed, they abstained from acts of violence. Strong patrol.* were on daty throughout the night. To-day an is peace, as well in this neighbourhood as in Stock. port, Manchester.
