A Special General Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was held yesterday, for the purpose of having laid before them copies of a correspondence between the Ilonourable Commissioners of the Board of Control and the Lords of the Admiralty, as to the emit clime, of augmenting the naval force employed in the service of the East India Company ; and also to have submitted to them a draft of a Bill now before Parliament, in pursuance of such cures li pondence. and which provided that the expenses of such additional force should be defrayed by the Company. The Bill and correspondence having been read, The Citai a MAN (Sir G. A. Robinson) thought that the principles urn , ' which the arrangements were made by the Court of Directors with Government, were sufficiently explained by the correspondence that had just been read, as well as the principles upon which the Bill now pending had been framed and brought into Parliament. It could not be westioned that the expenses of any measure which was purely calculated for the protection of the territorial pmsessions of the East India Company. ought to be borne by the Company. It would be neither reasonable nor right that the people of (heat Bri tain should be charged with the expense of any additional force, whither naval or military, that should be required in the Com. pang's service. The Court of Directors had taken this view of the subject in the arrangements it had made with his Majesty's Govern. meet ; and he had now only to propose a Revolution, That this Court tin concur in and approve of the Bill and correspondence which had been read." 1)r. GILCHRIST hoped that, notwithstanding the attempts that had been made In this Court to gag him on many occasions, he should he permitted to ask one question 'of the Honourable fliair. man. They were net upon a very important question, and one which at least required half an hour s serious consideration before any man could with propriety speak upon it. In order that he might have some knowledge of the subject, he came early this morning to the room - appropriated to the use of the Proprietors, that he might read the Bill and correspondence before the Court assembled; but to his disappointment and surprise, he was told there were no such papers. He considered it neither reasonable nor honest to require persons to approve of a measure without their having an opportunity to inform themselves of its nature and ten dency. But if this was the usage of the Court of Directors, he should stand corrected ; but he must confess that Ignorant as he was on the subject. it appeared to hint strange that the Company's marine force at Bombay should not be employed Instead of his Majesty's ships. The Burmese had no seventy-tbars yet. He thought, therefore, the marine establishment at Bombay was amply sufficient to contend against such an enemy, without the Company be in g put to a great additional expense in maintaining his Majestys navy in that part of the world. In conclusion, he wished to ask, whether the Proprietors had not a right to see a copy of papers of the kind which had just been read, before they were called upon to approve of their contents ? The CRAIRMAN said, that whatever papers were called for by a vote of die Court of Proprietors would be found in the room al luded to, and were open to the inspection of every Proprietor ; but it was not the custom to lay in that room, or to submit to the in spection of Proprietors, papers which had not been obtained by • vote of this Court. Dr. GILCHRIST thought such a course was, to say the least of It, a most p reposterous one. He repeated his opinion that the Bombay Marine Establishment was fully efficient for all the pur. poses of the Burmese war. It was certainly not reasonable to expect the Government should be loaded with any charge for the protection of the Company's territory. But unfortunately it did happen that the army and navy in India were not employed merely for the protection of territory, but were too often engaged in at tempts to extend it, particularly on the side towards China. And lit might be, after all, that load Amherst was not so blameable as he was supposed to be in the late proceedings against the Burmese. There might have been instructions sent out to him from other quarters, unknown even to the Court of Directors, directing him to do as he had done. There was one subject more upon which he wished to ask a question. It appeared to him that Lord Amherst had of late turned over a new leaf, and had acted with a degree of liberality that seemed to be in imitation of the great man who held the sat of Government there before him. By a paragraph in a Bombay Government Gazette it was stated that Lord Amherst, in noticing the progress of education among the natives had said, that it was proper to advert to the school founded in 1822, for the instruc tion of Ilindoos in medical science; and his Lordship spoke of it u being an Institution calculated to do much good, and in every way proper to be upheld. Now he (Dr. Gilchrist) had received a letter from India, in which it was said that the Court of Directors had sent out an order, either to put an end to this Institution al together, or to crust? it to such a degree that it would never after be able to effect that good which had been ascribed to it by Lord Amnerst himself. IVhat he wished to ask, therefore, was—whe. ther any such order had been, or was Intended to be, sent out by the Court of Directors ? The CHAIRMAN did not feel himself called upon to answer the question ; what the Court of Directors intended to do, was more than he was prepared to say. At any rate, it was that sort of ques tion which he did not feel called upon to answer. General THORNTON agreed in many of the observations that had fallen from the Hon. Proprietor (Dr. Gilchrist), and thought there was great impropriety in calling upon the Court to approve of papers which had not been laid before them. He was not pre pared to support the motion, until he had further information upon the subject. The CHavostae said the course that had been followed with regard to this Bill, was precisely the same as on all other occasions. No vote of that Court could possibly stop the progress of the Bill in Parliament ; all that it Nat competent for the Court to do was, , to petition against it ; he therefore saw no reason why the Bill should be laid before the Proprietors. previous to the Court being held, for the purpose of concurring in it. Sir C. Fortnts said he should have no objection to the motion, provided the measure proposed by the Bill was not meant to inter. fere with the Bombay Marines ' • than whom a more e ff icient, de. serving, and meritorious class of men and officers, did not exist in airy service. {Vitt' respect to the expenses, it was but reasonable that the Company should pay them. He regretted that the naval force in India had ever been reduced. Ile thought it extremely un. wise and discreditable to the nation to have had it reduced, as it was, eighteen months ago. It ought not to have been so, whilst the Dutch had such important possessions in India. The CHAIRMAN took this opportunity of assuring the Ilon. Baronet that there was nothing in this measure that had for its ob ject the interfering with the Bombay marine. The measure had originated, not with the Court of Directors, but with the Board of Control ; and every care was taken by the Court of Directors that it should not affect the marine force in India ; on the contrary, there was nothing he wished for more than to see that portion of the Company's force put upon a tooting which should make it ef ficient in all respects. Mr. TwINING supported the measure. The motion was then put and agreed to. General THORNTON mital whether, in the Bill before Par liament relative to East India writers, there was any provision for the examination of such gentlemen as were not educated at the Company's College, with regard to their proficiency in the oriental languages ? The CHAIRM tit observed, that as the Bill had passed the House of Commons, he could not do better than refer the Gallant General to its contents. Col. L.STANttorE gave notice of a motion on the next general Court d, respecting the flogging of natives in India, which, the Gallant Colonel stated, was practised to a great extent, notwith. standini two eminent Judges, Sir James Mackintosh and Sir Ed. ward V 1 eat, had declared their opinion that such practices were illegal. The Court then adjourned. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. [We have nothing to do with the opinions or assertions contained , in the following Letter, but merely to give it publicity, as it relates to a subject in which a portion of the public is concerned. Our colunms are, of course, open to any fair and candid reply to MR. EDITOR,—Since I had last the honour of addressing you upon the subject of the Peruvian Loans, the time fixed for the pay meet of the dividends hie.+ passed away, without ally having been made. It thus appears that the information derived from your pri vote sources, relative to the punctuality with which they might be expected to be paid, was wholly without foundation, and the sus picions of the public, which had so long been evidenced by the rapid declension of the Stock, have been fully realized. What I would wish to remark is, the unaccountable conduct of Mr. Kinder, the Agent, who, down to the last moment, is said to have given out his Intention to pay the dividends, when he must have known perfectly well that, if lie could not pay them, it was his duty to have notified his inability at the usual period of adver tisement, viz. let April, and not to have made a mystery of the mntter, to delude the unfortunate holders with false expectations. I have been astonished at the indifference manifested by the holders of the Stock at such reprehensible behaviour, and still mote, that no public meeting has been held upon the subject, as the Newspapers have so often recommended. Mr. Kinder still holds out hopes of the eventual discharge of the interest, and says, that in September last there was a balance in the treasury at Lima over and above the wants of the Oovernment, which will, I hope, be remitted to this country ere long. As Upper and Lower Peru have separated, it seems difficult to conjecture what arrangements will be made as to the loans; for when contracted it was, of course, under stood that they were chargeable upon the State of Peru gene rally, and not any particular part of it. I imagine myself, that the Republics of Rolivar and Lower Peru will divide the debt between them, and issne separate bonds. It fortunately happens for the holders, that Bolivar himself has at present the management of their affiiirs ; and his character for honour and good faith is too well known to doubt that he will imp ress upon them the necessity of fidelity to their engagements. rhe debts, indeed. compared with the resources of those-great countries, ere trilling enough, and easily borne, if, as has been observed, either common prudence or common honsaty is to be found amongst them. By giving these lines insertion in your valuable Journal, you will greatly oblige, Mr. Editor, Your most obedient servant, May 4, 1826. INCA. GIGANTIC Fosstt. Bowes.—The last number of the Boston Journal of Pi4ilnion/1 gives an account of the dis covery of some fossil remains, in low prairie grounds, be tween Placquemire and the Lakes, which, from their enormous size, would almost render credible the extraor dinary stories told by Father Kircher and Pontoppidan, of the Kraken and Norway sea-snake. If the monster to which these bones belonged (says the Journal) were of the Bala:na species, its length could not be less than 250 feet. O y 2 dr THE BRITISH PRESS• DISTURBANCES IN LANCASHIRE. INTELLIGENCE RECEIVED THIS MORNING. tEXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.] BLACKBURN, MAY 3. Every thing in this town has been perfectly tranquil since my last, which may be accounted for fn more ways than one. Almost all the power-lnoms in Blackburn have been destroyed, so that there is little motive for the populace to linger in this immediate neighbourhood, as it is one to which but fe a of the insurgents really belong. The great mass of the rioters seems to have mi grated into the southern part of the county, where we hear of their spoliation* and deeds of destruction. Indeed the authors of the riots at 31anchet•ter, &c. arc confidently Lid to be complete stran gers to that part of the county. Possibly this district will not en joy its present calm, when those multitudes shall have been driven to their respective homes, by the influx of the military into Man chester. _ There is nothing here to excite interest but the continual seizures of individuals concerned in the late outrages. Four of these were apprehended vesterday at Over Darwen, a village where there is a great spirit of Insubordination. Five more were brouglat in this day ; three out of the number have been committed to ban caster Castle. The cases of the. remaining six are now undergoing Investigation before our Magistrate., who merit the greatest praise for their vtgilatice and activity. Many of those persons, respecting whose alacrity in the work of destrnetton they have received sure information, cannot yet be seized. All attempts to take them have failed ; for they are not at present In the county. Whether this is to be accounted for on the supposition that they are as yet employed in tha execution of their nefarious designs in the southern part of the county, or whe ther the terror produced among the guilty by the seizures that have been made, causes them to skulk about anti conceal themselves so u to elude the search of the officers, is a matter of conjecture. Hopes are entertained that ere long the situation of our distressed weavers will be more favourable. More work was given out yes terday than usual, which is attributable to the Manchester market being somewhat more brisk than usual. The _prices there do not improve, but there is a greater demand. lam informed that 26,000 pieces of calico have been disposed of in the course of the last week; which I cannot but consider as a cheering symptom that betokens some revival of trade. The whole county is much indebted to his Majesty's Govern ment, for the extraordinary despatch used in sending down rein forcements of troops for its protection. (EXTRACT OF !MOTHER PRIVATE LETTER-) BLACKBURN, MAY 3. I perhaps cannot give a more distressing account of the situ ation of our poor weavers and the unemployed, in consequence of the stagnation of trade, than by informing you that this week 13,236 individuals have been relieved with oatmeal. Their whole receipts, taken a fortnight ago, when work was more plentiful, amounted to 5321. Ills., including earnings, pensions, and parochial relief, out of which they have fire and candles, soap, &c. to pro vide; they cannot pay rent or get clothing. I suppose the average will not exceed eight pence per week for subsistence. 'Stool the Leeds Inielligenter of Wednesday.) STATE OF LEEDS. We have unfeigned pleasure in paying, that notwithstanding the proximity of this town to the disturbed districts, and the strong sympathy which is always felt by the operative manufacturers of one part of the country, in all that relates to those of other parts. we continue in a state of comparative tranquillity. The number of our unemployed poor is certainly considerable, but every disposi tion exists to relieve those who have been thrown idle by the seve rity of tlte times, or are otherwise sulfeting. There certainly have not been wanting one or two incendiaries to try the temper of the lower classes, but their attempts have happily failed. Though a small number of persons assembled on Monday evening on Hunalet Moor, no one ventured to inflame their passions to any bad pur. pose, and they shortly dispersed of their own accord, On Tuesday evening a still less number assembled at the same place, and separated in the same peaceable manner. We are sorry, however, to be obliged to add, that, on the latter evening, about 300 of the operative manufacturers met in Briggate, and marched in broad tiles, and their arms locked, as far as Messrs. Stanfelds' factory, on the Kirkstall road, where some power-looms have been erected. On the way thither a set of mischievous boys, who ac. companied them, on passing Messrs. Sheepshanks' mill, were in stigated to break a few panes of glass In the windows, but the injury effected was not of much amount. When the party arrived at Messrs. Stanfelda' factory, they perceived it to be in a state of complete defence, several soldiers having been stationed there for some days, and every means in readiness to successfully resist any attack which might be made. The mob, indeed, were totally des titute of arms or weapons of any sort, and probably contemplated no criminal object in acting as they did. After a short pause, therefore, they gave a cheer or two, and, returning to Leeds as they went, dispersed quietly to their houses. In the course of Tuesday a written bill, without date, was posted upon a wall in Briggate, stating that a meeting would take place at three o'clock in the morning, on Woodhouse Moor, but nothing of the sort occurred. Other alarms have from time to time been circulated during the past week, many of which were ridiculous and none of them well-founded. In the meanwhile a steady vigilant eye is kept, by our local authorities, upon the proceedings of the lower orders; the Leeds troop of Yorkshire Hussars have been mustered occasionally; a detachment of the ,sth Dragoon Guards occupy our barracks ; and, should a-y unf or t una t e necess i ty ar i se , ample force is at hand for the protection of life and property. Intelligencer Office, Thursday Morning. One o'Clock. The news of the unfortunate occurrences at Bradford, to-day, has excited much agitation in Leeds. Thousands of people col lected this evening in Briggate , and by shouting, &c. kept up an incessant noise, for some hours. The Magistrates, in consequence, issued an order to the constables and police-officers to clear the streets, which. they effectually accomplished, much against the in. elination of the crowd. Too great praise cannot be given to Mr. Read, the chief constable, and his subordinates, for the manner in which they performed this arduous duty. We are only sorry that two or three of the latter have received serious injnries from stones thrown at them by the more stubborn of the mob, several of whom are now in custody in our Court-house. The town is perfectly quiet at present. We stop the press to mention, that two prisoners from Bradford have passed through this town, under an escort of the Yorkshire Hussars, on their way to York Castle, fully committed for trial. DISTURBANCES AT BRADFORD. All has remained quiet till Wednesday, when a meeting was held upon Fairweather Green, in pursuance of the following notice:— " mtrimic MEETING ON FA/RWEATIIEG GREEN. " At the suggestion of some of our employers, we, the wool. combers and stuff:weavers of Bradford and its vicinity, hereby convene a meeting on Fairweather Green, on Wednesday, the 3d of May, 1826, at one o'clock, to take into consideration the present unparalleled distress and famishing state of the operatives, and, if possible, to devise some prompt and effectual means to afford them relief. " A numerous attendance Is particularly requested." (No signatures.) DREADFUL AFFRAY. At One o'clock not more than a dozen people were on the ground, but they continued to increase till near three, when there was, per haps, a thousand. They seemed quite at a loss what to do. There were no hustings erected, or other previous preparations made; and being without a leader or 'spokesman of any description, they appeared quite at sea as to the object of their meeting, except what was contained in the general terms expressed in the hand-bills. Nor could It be ascertained, although inquiry was made on the spot, who it was that called them together. There seemed, however, to be an understanding amongst them, that they were going to march to the mill of Messrs. Horsfall, as they did on Monday. Some of them proposed, not by way of resolution for general adoption, but merely suggested in the muse of a desultory conversation, that the most proper step would be to pass a resolution to the effect, that a petition be forthwith presented to the Legislature, requesting that the present state of the Corn Laws be immediately taken into consideration. Another proposed that they should petition for Parliamentary Reform. But nothing was passed in an official way. After forming in several groups till about twenty minutes past three, they again moved an a body to Messrs. llonfall's mill, where they arrived a little before four o'clock. They began throwing stories at the windows as be. fore. IWe should kere remark, that the squares which were broken on Monday, about 240 in number, had been since glazed. They continued at this work tor about half an hour, when they had com pletely drove in three of the windows, stauncheons, frames, and every thing connected with them. On Tuesday workmen had been employed in fixing iron bars in front of the low window'', and as the doors were secured lty strong three.inch deals, it was almost impossible to force au entrance. At half-past four o'clock, Colo nrl PluinSe Tempest, accompanied by a number of special consta bles, stood on the ground adjoining the mill, and read the Riot Act. The mob still showed no disposition to disperse, but conti nued throwing stones at the windows for some time afterwards. All other efihrts hitherto adopted proving unavailing, the persons who were in care of the mill, amounting we believe to 100, fired about 20 shots upon the mob, which wounded several, and made the others leave that part of the ground, and go to the other side of the mill. Several persona were now engaged in carrying the wounded to the Dispenaary, which was not far from the sp o t. O ne o f t h e guards in the mil l then appeared at the opening of a window in the upper story, on the south side, when there was a tremendous rush along the opening from the mill to the street, in which several females and others were thrown down, but without any serious accident. The civil power being now found insufficient to restore order, two troops of :the York hire Human were immediately ordered out, and proceeded, with Lord Grantham and Colonel Yorke at their head, to the scene of action, when part of the mob dispersed. Others remained on a piece of ground eastward of the mill, about a yard higher than that which the Yeomanry occupied. Taking ad. vantage of their situation, they threw some stones at the officers, when a few of the hussars leaped the walls and drove them off in all directions. The neighbourhood of the mill now became clear, but the streets adjoining continued to be crowded ; the mob offered no violence, but often manifested symptoms of disapprobation by hissing and shouting. The following is a list of such of the wounded as were retained in Bradford : - . %% intern Walker, Bandon, shot through the right arm, in a slanting direction, from one of the upper stories, and the ball en. tered his right side. It is thought this young man's arm will be amputated. James Barstow, of Queen's Head. He received a ball under the shoulder blade, which pulsed through bis longs, and came out at his right hretutt. When our Reporter left Bradford, at half.put six o'clock this evening, Barstow, it wu expected, would not live many minutes. Charles IVilson, of Halifax, was shot just above the left breast, the ball lodging in his body. Wm. Briggs, of Bingley, thromth the arm. John Barker. Clayton, weaver, shot through the wrist. The above were all young men, from 18 to 25 years of age. Edward Fearnley, son of Mr. Henry Fearnl y, joiner, Church Bank, Bradford, a boy 13 years of age, received a ball just below the navel. John Taylor, son of a woman in the workhouse, was shot in the groin. This boy is only seven years of age, and was attracted to the spot on his return from school. In addition to these, three others were wounded in different parts of their bodies ; but we could not learn their names, as they were immediately removed out of the town. It is worth remark, for the credit of the inhabitants of Brad ford, that not a townsman is among the list of the wounded ; and the mob was composed chiefly of the inhabitants of the surrounding A reinforcement of the Recruiting Staff left this place last night for Iltatiford, to join their comrades, who had defended the North Wing Mill. APPREHENDED RIOT AT DUDLEY—THE MILI TARY ORDERED OUT. [ Front the Birnthighant Chronicle:l DVIMEYI Three o'Clock, Wednesday, May 3. It is with much pain that we lay the following extract of a letter from our correspondent before our readers. We shall make no comment, but merely express our most anxious desire that his fears may have been prematurely excited:—" In consequence of the nail-masters having lowered the wages of their workmen, with out giving them what they conceived they were entitled to--a re gular notice, symptoms of discontent have for some days been ma nifested in the neighbourhood of Cradley and the Lye Waste. On Monday. a waggon belonging to Messrs. Badger, of this town, loaded with nails, from their receiving house, was detained by the operatives ; and, notwithstanding Major Hawker, our intelligent resident Magistrate, has used his best endeavours to dissuade them from their illegal conduct, they still obstinately hold possession of the waggon and Its contents. They have this morning proceeded to acts of violence, having prevented the workmen of Alr. Coley, situate at Cradle►, from continuing their employment, &c. &e. We ere 'at this moment all in a bustle; the Ilimley Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry are ordered out ; and this said waggon will. I fear, produce a serious contention. Should anything of moment occur, I will send over by the latest coach." - - - - MANCHESTER. Wednesday evening, six o'clock. With the exception of a trifling assemblage of persons in Ox ford-road this morning, every thing has been perfectly quiet during the day. Soldiers are arriving in every direction, and it has been consequentlyintlmated to the special constables that the Magistrates hope to be able to dispense with their services. Harris, the man who was wounded last night, still continues in a dangerous state, though he was said to be something better this morning. He is a spinner, not a weaver, and therefore could have no pretence for breaking p ower - looms. I have just returned from a ride of about twenty-five miles among the villages north of Manchester. I found the power-loom factories all fortified, and the workmen employed in them were, for the moat part, furnished with arms. There had been nn riot, how ever, during the night, nor was there any anticipated for the pre sent. MANCHESTER, MAT 3. Accounts this morning from Liverpool, announcing the subscrip tion of a meeting held in that town yesterday, and the notification from the Lord Mayor of the intended subscription from the metro polis, have had a beneficial effect in this neighbourhood; and there is every reason to believe that the mere dregs of the manufac turing population only have been aciively engaged in violating the public peace. The demonstration of military power has also had its effect in preventing the congregation, even of the idle crowds previously seen, almost hourly, in various parts of the neighbourhood. Some idea can be formed of the rapidity with which the arrangements of the Horse Guards were executed. when it is known that a brigade a guns arrived here from ‘Woolwich within forty-six hours after they had received orders to march, and including four hours spent in some necessary refitting at Weedon depot on their road.— Post-horses were used in their conveyance through the greater part of the stages. General Byng arrived late on Sunday night, having travelled with extraordinary rapidity; and on Monday night he proceeded to Blackburn, to point out the military positions which he intended to have occupied by the Guards and Light Cavalry, which are daily entering the county. after forced marches. The Cheshire Yeomanry, which entered Manchester after last week's disturbances, were ordered home yesterday, and upwards of 300 special constables have been sworn to assist on the present oc casion. You were apprised yesterday of a meeting, composed of the mixed groups which are always available to form a crowd in a populous district, at which two individuals—evidently of the hum. bler walks of life—harangued in the most inflammatory manner. This meeting was held in St. George's Fields, at half-past three o'clock, and small groups loitered about in that place, and the neighbourhood, until seven o'clock, when a whisper went round that an attack was meditated upon the power-looms of Messrs. John. son and Brooks, at New Islington, a part of the town near which several factories stand. At that hour, a body of rioters moved from the neighbourhood of St. George's Fields, and as they passed through the little districts inhabited by the humbler classes, col lected a reinforcement of the idle, the dissolute, and thoughtless, until their numbers amounted to 200 or 300, and separating into two detachments, for greater convenience in the very narrow streets on the spot, they came, one of the parties into a small alley facing the broader front of Messrs. Johnson and Brookes's mill, and the other acting sideways in the narrow street which runs parallel with it. They made a great noise as they came up, and immediately pelted the window; with stones, till, in five minutes, they broke, perhaps, sixty squares of glass. Within the building, half a dozen of the workmen had been provided by their employers with as many muskets, as a measure of precaution ; but these persons were at the moment taking refreshment, and the actual defence of the place was left to two other men, who were only armed with a single pistol, which was at the moment unloaded. The man who had it called out to the rioters to desist, and asked what they wanted. He was answered by a confused jargon of defiance, and then struck in the face with a stone; he then charged the pistol merely with pow der, and fired over the heads of the assailants ; but the pelting of stones still continuing, he loaded it with small shot, but it missed fire on the attempt to discharge it. He, however, reprimed it. and levelling it among the crowd, the shot took effect on the head, breast, and shoulder, of a young man, named Thomas Ilarrison, a spinner now out of employ, who fell to all appearance dead, and was immediately removed into a public house near the spot. This spirited resistance had the effect, in five minutes more, of dis persing the assailants, who continued during that interval to fling stones through the windows of the factory, and to bulge a side door with their shoulders, and knock down the top brick. work next the door-frame. A woman seems to have beeu sufficient for the defence of this door, by having the presence of mind to bolt it, when she heard the attack on the premises. The clock had struck seven before this building was assailed ; at &quarter past seven the mob had been entirely dispersed by one man (for the second man only loaded the pistol), and one pistol shot ; the mob at the same time bearing away the dead man (as they called him) to the hospital, the publican into whose lie was carried when he tell not desiring to retain such a lodger. In the adjoining street, they laid him down for a moment, in front of another manu. factory, which they threatened ; some of them insisting upon an at tempt to destroy the power-looms within, while others were more rationally bent upon obtaining assistance at the hospital for the wounded man, who had revived a little during this uproar. After a short pause they pursued their route to the hospital, where they left the man in a state of insensibility ; but during the whole of this proceeding, which was undoubtedly short, the mob encountered no molestation, except from the man and pistol already'mentioned. Two other n.en in the crowd participated very slightly in the effects of the pistol-shot, which chiefly struck Harrison, and they shrugged their shoulders a little, and ran away at the instant. Harrison's situation is not considered at the hospital dangerous this day ; and he disclaims all connexion with the rioters, ascribing merely to accident his presence on the occasion. If this be true, his position was a very unlucky one, as to its locality, for it was at the top and in the centre of the opening of the narrow alley, from which the windows were chiefly demolished by a small group that appeared to act in concert ; while a mere casual passenger might have easily seen:what was occurring from a aide.way view, by turning into any of the adjoining streets. - - One of the proprietors (Mr. Brookes) applied immediately for assistance at the head police-office, as some report was in circulation that the attack would be renewed in the course of the night; but it was eight o'clock before the civil power could be assembled near the place, and later when the military arrived, though picquets were in motion throughout the earlier part of the evening. DISTRESSED MANUFACTURERS.—The Committee have suggested, that in order to render assistance as generally and extensively as possible, they wish to use the agency of local committees; and they recommend such parishes and townships as may not be able to form committees, or raise subscriptions within themselves, to unite with a district association in their neighbourhood ; and that, as much as may be convenient, the relief may he conveyed to the par ties, so as to avoid congregating numerous applicants; and that where local committees have not been formed in towns, or large and populous villages, measures may be adopted for that purpose, each district taking as wide a range as possible, that in the relief to be granted the smaller and more remote parishes and townships, if equally distressed, may share the benefit of it. The Committee also request that the correspondence (as much as conveniently can) may be narrowed to the Chairmen or Secretaries of Committees; and that in places where no such association or committee is formed, the application be signed by the Minister of the parish, or a neighbouring Magistrate. Sunday last, a most impudent act of horse-stealing was accomplished at Culham, near Abingdon. On that day, a reverend gentleman of Oxford, who came from that University to Cultism, to officiate for the Rev. Mr. Wintle, left his horse at the Sow and Pigs, and proceeded to the church. The service being about half over, a person went to the public-house, then into the stables, and finally saddled the horse, when he was discovered by the servant girl, who inquired what he wanted, to whch he replied, " I'm come after the parson's horse ;" the servant then said, " Oh, I'll ask my master if 'us right," and the fellow took that opportunity to decamp.

MARKETS. CORN-EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, MAY 6. 'The Resolutions of Parliament fur the release of bonded Corn have had the effect of causing a complete stagnation fur the present In our trade, and the business done since Monday has been trifling In the extreme. The greatest reduction Is in Wheat, which Is offered ss. per quarter lower, but the consumers du not seem disposed to take It off at this abate. meat. Barley Is somewhat cheaper, but the quantity in bond not being large, the reduction is trifling; and the aunt remark applies to BMX. Of Oats there Is a large supply at market, and it being known there is a considerable quantity bonded, scarcely any sales can be effected; what few were may be stated at a decline of full 2s. per quarter. In other arti cles there it no material variation ; but we must again repeat that the trade is in that unsettled state it Is did icult to ascertain the exact state ,f our prices. A'
