~~ THE itIBBON TRADE. • (From the Coventry Herald.) - We are sorry,..to' announce another misunder ma-riding betweenitlew of the ribbon manufacturers, - - and the - operativ:ii of this City, in consequence of ' - ''ttOtice'freing - gi 4 lten by part of the former that they should make another reduction in the price of labour. The intelligence soon spread dismay among the men, and on Monday evening they prepared for re sistance, by giving the crier orders to call a public meeting for Tuesday morning at nine o'clock. They met, according to the notice, in the Hollow Field at the end of Much Park-street, when Mr. Adams was called to the Chair. He proceeded to state the cause of the meeting, and applauded the contlnct of the former Committee. A Mr. JehrAon next pre sented himself, and proposed that they should go in a body, peaceably, to ail the manufacturers in the City, and request them to sign an agreement to abide by the last agreed list. To this they assented, and then moved off along Much Park -street, to Mr. R. Woodcock's warehouse, which they found closed; they then proceeded regularly through the City, and, Ive believe, the whole of the manufacturers that were to be found did sign In the course of their proceedings, they met with Mr. Herbert in Mill-lane, whom they immediately surrounded. Several attempted to strike him ; but others, less violPlit in their conduct, defended him from the thre7,rened assaults. Under these circum stances, Mr. Herbert consented to return to his - warehouse, and the mob followed. Mr. Herbert then assured him of his willingness to pay whatever prices were paid by the trade in general, but he would riot sign any list. The crowd filled the ware house, yard, and all the passages leading to the warehouse, and during the discussion with the leaders, the most alarming threats were vociferated, the mob repeatedly calling to each other " drag him out—drag him out !" A servant, who attempted to pass through with some articles of domestic use, had them instantly demolished, and the whole of the de meanour of this misguided multitude evinced a rea diness to commit the most frightful excesses. For a full hour the house was thus beset, when the mob were induced to depart, having obtained the une quivocal assurance from Mr. Herbert that he would pay the prices which were paid by the other manu facturers. In the course of the afternoon, they went in a body, to Mr. Woodcock's house, at Hearsall Com mon ; when they arrived there, the shutters were closed; and we are sorry to add, the work of de struction immediately commenced by the mob; reckless of consequences, they proceeded to take the fruit from the trees, tore them up by the roots, and committed other acts of mischief. Intelligence was conveyed to Coventry, and Mr. Alderman Vale instantly set off for the scene of destruction. When he got there he set before them the impropriety of their conduct, and told them if they would go home peaceably, the Magistrates would meet in a body and listen toany thing they had to propose, but acts of violence, could not, nor would riot, be counte nanced. Following the advice of the Alderman, they dispersed. On Tuesday evening, the Magistrates had a meeting at the Public Office, and drew up the fol lowing notice, which was circulated throughout the City early on Wednesday morning : " The Mayor and Magistrates are exceedingly concerned in learning that disputes to some extent are subsisting between the Ribald Manufacturers and the Operative Weavers. The Mayor and Magistrates will feel most happy in giving their best assistance in healing such differences; and will cheerfully hold a Meeting, to hear the matter dis cussed, at any time they may be requested; but they must observe, that if any proceedings having a tendency to riot are resorted to, the parties im plicated will be rigorously prosecuted." On Wednesday the operatives met again in the Hollow Field, when three of their number related the answers received by flick deputations from the manufacturers, which seemed to give them satisfac tion, and they then quietly dispersed. NUNEATON.--A strange scene took place in this town on Wednesday. It appears that Mr. Dankes, ribbon manufacturer, of Coventry, employs a number of operatives in Nuneaton; and on Wednesday, Mr. Taylor, his foreman, had occasion to go there about the work. An unhappy impression had taken pos session of their minds that he was the occasion of the present low prices for labour; and under that impression, they began to abuse him, and from abuse they proceeded to acts of violence ; they placed him on a donkey, and made him ride through the town, the mob at the time pelting him with missiles of every description. This lasted for about one hour in the middle of the day. We understand he can recognize a number of the ringleaders, and war rants, we hear, are issued agdinst several of them. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Messager des Chambres.) " They write from Paris," says the Precurseur de Lynn," that M. Simonet, chief of the Bureau of the Mayoralty, and charged with the formation of the electoral lists, is now at Paris. It is presumed that a clerk from each of the principal mayoralties has also been ordered to Paris." (From the Globe of Wednesday.) THE BRITANNY ASSOCIATION, AND THE REFUSAL TO PAY TILE TAXES. Ever since the accession of the present Ministry, all France has said " they are ominous men, a►►d can have an other than detestable projects." Their writers talk of nothing but of a power superior to the Charter--of a constituent power vested in the bands of the King. They affect to despise Parlia mentary majorities, and think that decisions by ballot are very humorous and ridiculous things._ Not content with this, they invoke arbitrary power as a supreme law of safety. Behind these turbulent words a still more violent party is concealed, supported by armed congregations and insurgents, disciplined and organized by M. de la Boessiere. What does this presage, if not a war against the Charter ? How can we resist and defend it ? If they should lay their hands upon it—if, by means of sophistry, they should do away with the electHral law by or dinance, and prOcure, by the same violent measures as in 1815, an illegal and revolutionary Chamber, what means of safety will remain to us ? Must we have recourse to force and to insurrection, and risk at once our peace and the throne, the public wealth and the dynasty ? Shall we be again doomed to witness the times when, like the Italians, we may be doomed to hide ourselves among the Carbonari, to seduce the troops from their alle giance, to set on foot intrigues, and to seek for a Pretender who may serve us and combat for us ? This is the game which our enemies would like to see us play, for they would have plenty of pretences to deprive us of our heads. But would that course be fitting for a wise and enlighted na tion ? Does that charter, in which power has an interest, and for which we have suffered so much without a murmur, and adopted as a treaty after five-and-twenty years of combat, between absolute royalty arid popular sovereignty, contain no efficaci ous guarantee for liberty and order ? The King gave it to us, arid he appeared to wish for its con tinuance, as well as for the perpetuity of his family; and is there no clause in it to prevent civil war, which is the destruction of thrones and nations ? If lie has reserved to royalty its legal remedy against rebel or ill-inspired Chambers, has he not also as sured to the people their right of pacific and or ganized defence against ignorant or guilty Mini sters? '1 his is what eve.y one wishes, and with a single voice, from one end of France to the other, tl►e reply is, "We have the vote of the taxes." If the Chamber is not dissolved, it will reject the budget, and we will not pay ; and if it is replaced • by an illegal Chamber, or if the Ministry is hardy enough to govern without a Chamber, this will not force us to pay ; and if they go beyond that,—God knows the rest.

The Chronicle of this morning has the fol !owing paragraph upon the affairs of the East : " The last dispatches from Sir R. GORDON, our Ambassador at Constantinople, are consi dered as of so pacific a tendency that it is sup posed probable, in the higher departments of the Government offices, that an account of the sig nature of the preliminaries for a general pacifica tion in the East may be hourly expected. " The same dispatches contain an official en closure of much importance, and of a very unusual description—namely, either the original or an I authentic copy (we are led to believe the former) of a State Paper, transmitted by the Baron MUFFLING, the Prussian Special Envoy, to the REIS EFFENDI, and handed over by the latter Minister to Sir R. GORDON. In this document t he Baron M UFFLING guarantees, with the whole strength of the Prussian Monarchy, and in the . most solemn and unequivocal form, the integrity of the Ottoman Empire, upon the condition of negotiations being immediately and boni fide entered into by the PORTE, on the basis pre viously agreed upon by the Three Great Powers. " The departure of Baron MUFFLING is con sidered in the Government circles a conclusive proof that he had succeeded in his object, as, in case of failure, his instructions commanded him to remain at his post to the last extremity. The Baron had been for some time previous to his departure in direct and active communication with the Russian Commander-in-Chief, the Count DIEBITSCH, his intimate personal friend. " Upon the whole the despatches are of a tendency most decidedly pacific, and are so con sidered." The above might settle the war in the opinion of our contemporary, and many of his credulous readers, when backed by the opinion of gentle men "in the higher departments of the Go vernment offices," but we apprehend that they only speak their wishes, not their belief. Baron MUFFLING may be a very great man in his own estimation, as well as in that of the Grand SUL TAN, when backed by the whole strength of the Prussian Monarchy, but we think that General DIEBITSCH will come to a different conclusion, backed as he is by a victorious army, and acting upon the secret orders of his Imperial Master. Baron MUFFLING'S mission seems to have originated in the visit of the Emperor NICHOLAS to Berlin long before the siege of Silistria, and long, very long, before the conclusive battle of Paravadi. Therefore, we are apt to suppose that the EMPEROR'S views must have changed with his fortune, so that the mission of the Baron will be in a great measure dependent on the altered tone of purpose manifested by the EMPEROR in consequence of the altered cir cumstances of the war. The Baron is said to have been in constant communication with General DIEBITSCH. Why ?—lf there was no change of purpose in the mind of the Emperor NICHOLAS, why should there be any comm_ nication to stay the march of his General ? The thing is barely possible, but not probable. We think, judging by the course of events, that DIEBITSCII will not stop short of Constan tinople—but we may be mistaken. The Nuremburg Correspondent of the 11th inst. contains some paragraphs of a commercial nature which may prove interesting to our readers. There has been a riot among the students of the University of Giessen, in consequence of some misunderstanding with the citizens. Twenty students have been expelled the University : COLOGNE, SEPT. JO. For the first time for these 250 years we to-day see the English flag flying in our port. The English schooner, commanded by Captain Milne, which sailed from London on the 19th of last month, by way of trial, having been detained, according to some, by contrary winds, or, as others say, by being delayed in the Waal, arrived Isere yesterday evening, and orders were immediately given to land her cargo. A house here also received to-day letters an nouncing the arrival of a ship which was to leave Liverpool in a few days with a cargo, direct from our port. ERBACH IN THE ItHINGAU, SEPT !... 9. On the 3d of this month died M. Graseir, Coun sellor, in the service of the Duke of Nassau, in the 92d year of his age. He was a remarkable instance of length of service as well as life. The reigning Duke of Nassau was the seventh sovereign of Nassau whom he had served with unabated fidelity during a period of 56 years. He has left a widow, 80 years of age, with whom he lived in perfect happi ness for 61 years. MAYENCE, SEPT. 4. The Prussian Plenipotentiary will not arrive here to take part in the negociations respecting the free navigation of the Rhine, till the Commissioners of the other states shall have their instructions on the scheme of a definitive arrangement proposed by Prussia. This plan seems to be extremely well adapted to the interests of the merchants; for, as we hear, the Chamber of Commerce here has made no objection to it, except to wish that in the mani fests of the ship's cargo the names of the consignor and consignee may be omitted. DARMSTADT, AUG ! 31. In consequence of some insults offered by the citizens of Giessen to students of the University, for which the latter did not receive satisfaction so promptly as they ought, part of them left Giessen, but came back in twenty-four hours, and broke the windows of the offending party. In consequence of this several students, it seems, were sent home to their families, and this induced others to post up in many parts of the town, in the night of the 24th August, a notice drawn up in offensive terms, de claring the University of Giessen proscribed for foreigners for an unlimited time. On this occasion nanny persons have expressed themselves more un favourably than usual, respecting the existing regu lations for the discipline of the University, arid fear that the foreigners will leave it. _ NCREMBURG, SEPT. I I. In consequence of the late occurrence at Giessen, about twenty students, some of them sons of per sons high in office, have been banished or received the consilizon abcundi. Letters from Frankfort of the 10th inst. state that the Elector of HESSE was about to give a Constitution to his subjects. A Tobago Gazette furnishes us with the fol lowing Address of his Excellency the Governor, on the meeting of the Houses of Legislature, on the 17th July M r . Speaker, and Members of the Assem bly—ln making known to you that I have re ceived the official notification of the appointment of Mr. Serjeant Rough to be the Chief Justice of this Island, it only remains for you to fix a salary upon that Gentleman conformable to his high station and responsible duties. The op portune setting in of the late abundant rains— the almost total absence of crime—and the ge neral state of health which has happily p revailed throughout the Colony, are blessings which it has for some time past peculiarly enjoyed; and I have to offer my best wishes that the most favourable results may be found: to arise from them." To this the House of Assembly made the following reply : " The very ample discussion, and the mature consideration, which the Bills for the ameliora tion of the condition of the Slave population, Ind for the improvement of the administration of the criminal justice of the country, underwent during the last Session, when they were not pressed to a conclusion, will very materially diminish our labours, when our attention again reverts to the interesting topics which form the subjects of those Bills ; and we trust that the important benefits which they are intended to secure to a class of pers'ais, whose cause has lately been advocated by philanthropy, and the general advantage to the community, which the other enactments contained in those Bills are calculated to impart, will secure to them your Excellency's ready and cheerful concurrence on behalf of his Majesty." Letters from Rio Janeiro state that the Coffee crop was reported to be more than an average one. Sonic very superior samples had been ex hibited, and a decline in the price of this article was anticipated. ~~ , ~1 which is the land of federation, no sooner saw the danger, than every thing was put in motion to pro vide a remedy. The citizens entered into an en gagement, and we have our covenant for the refusal of the taxes, as the Scotch formerly had their cove nant for religion, The model of it, when shown to the Ministry (still trembling with the acclamations of Lyons) acted like a cannon-shot, and, irritated to the quick, it seized the papers which spread the news, but not in time to prevent the circulation of more than 20,000, and all France is now informed of it. We declare that it is the duty of the citizens to bethink thettse.lves seriously of their situation ; the method adopted by theßretons is the only one which can lead to the overthrow of the Ministry, without risking the destruction of the dynasty and the hor rors of civil war. It forces Ministers to remain within the bounds of the law, or compels them to propose measures to the Prince beyond the law. In such a case, it will be impossible that a sense of his duty and of his situation, the remembrance of his oaths, and the advice of his friends, should not enlighten the King upon the danger into which they would hurry him. He knows the limit of his prerogative, and he knows that he cannot exceed it without de stroying the contract which has also prescribed the bounds of popularpower,and circumscribed its action. The vote of the taxes is the popular prerogative, if we may use the expression, in opposition to Royal prerogative; and it is upon this prerogative that the existence and the rights of the House of Commons repose. If the people did not possess it, they would have no control over the Government, and they could neither correct a t abuse, nor procure any amelioration. By means of the vote of the taxes, the equilibrium, which the initiative of the laws and the absolute veto, the supreme power of the admi nistration, the command of the forces by land and by sea, the right of peace and war, serve to make the balance incline so much to the King's side, would be, if not re-established, at least its tendency would be averted. The power of the Chamber to refuse subsidies has been an insurmountable obstacle to every Ministry. • • • • • • • No one will affirm that in history an example may not be found of a great people and a King placed in such a position as to render some violent blow necessary. The Representative Government is a piece of mechanism, and the vote of the taxes is one of its principal springs. • Questions of finance might arise, and there might be circumstances when they might involve the vital principle of power ; and then, though there might be injustice, and even great errors, yet there would he no ground to refuse the taxes. The Bretons have not asserted the contrary, but the fear of sinis ter names and of perverse doctrines, of an attempt against the charter, the electoral laws, and the inde pendence of the Chamber of Deputies, forced them to adopt some precaution. • • • • • We have read the Charter, and it has taught us not only what are the powers of the Prince, but what is our duty. If in its name he should alone impose a tax, or dictate a )air, on that day would the crime of high treason have been committed and the Con stitution violated; and popular justice would seek for reparation at the foot of the throne. His sacred prerogative would not shield him,anil indeed it would be fortunate if it escaped the wreck in which France and the Charter would have been overwhelmed. We believe the Charter to be a gift which cannot be withdrawn. You know what we were when the Bourbons returned, and how that compact was formed, in which we buried the animosities of 25 years, as they buried theirs. Recollect the 31st of March; when, under the smoke of foreign camps, amid the dust of the ruins of the empire, at the single cry of peace, all our life, since 89, returned to us. The Emperor of Russia proclaimed our right as the passport end absolution of his victory ; the emancipated Senate declared them; and a pro visionary Government guaranteed them. . You see, that at the bare mention of your names, at the very sound of your insensate declarations, the country prepares itself. Will you go farther? You say no. So much the better. You will condemn yourself beforehand if you lie; you will fall if you tell the truth. PRICKS OF STOCKS THIS B ink Stock 3 per Ce7at. Red. 3 per Cent.

(From the Canton Paper of the 16th March.) Our advices from Manilla of the 21st July state the late crops of sugar to be all collected, and yielding the plentiful supply of 200,000 peculs, which has occasioned a decline in price from aid. to 24d. per pelon. The sales of Opium have been small, two or three chests have formed the whole of the transactions in the Opium market, and the prices for Patna and Benares have given way ; the holders of Maliva have been mere firm. The New York Papers state that the disturb ances on the Indian frontiers have been quelled, and that all the troops, except 100 men, have received orders to return. The Mauritius Papers are void of the least interest. The Quebec Papers state that Mr. Vaughan (British Envoy Extraordinary at Washington) ar rived at Quebec, and was received with honours.— They also mention with great regret the attempt made in Upper Canada to assassinate Mr. Jackson, one of the Chaplains of the House of Assembly. The Montreal Papers do not contain any news. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off yesterday, 89 buyers for the Account, and BSi for money. At present no speculations are going forward. We may daily expect to hear from the theatre of war of arrangements having been con cluded between the Turks and the Russians for a peace, as the King of Prussia has notified to the se veral Courts that Count Muffling has succeeded in his mission to Constantinople, and that a peace will be the result.

The contest was unusually protracted, having lasfe4 up wards of two years and a half. The Duke of CUMBERLAND left town yes terday morning on a visit to his MAJESTY, at the Royal Lodge, in Windsor Park. The Princess LIEVEN and the Baroness Bu- LOW visited the Duchess of CUMBERLAND yesterday, at her residence in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Duchess, accompanied by Prince GEORGE, took an airing yesterday in Hampstead and the adjacent environs. The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived in town yesterday from Biggleswade, where his Grace stopped on Thursday night in returning from Doncaster. Soon after his arrival, the Earl of ABERDEEN had a conference with his Grace at the Treasury. Lord HILL also visited the Noble Duke. The LORD MAYOR, accompanied by two Gentlemen from the city, attended yesterday at the Foreign Office, and had a conference with the Earl of ABERDERN relative (it was understood) to the arrival of a number of Sp.mish Refugees. Mr. Rum, formerly Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States to this Court, had an interview yesterday with the Earl of ABERDEEN at the Foreign Office.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND THE STANDARD.-At the late London Sessions a bill was pre sented, and returned by the Grand Jury a true one, charg ing the proprietors of the Standard with having inserted an article containing a false and scandalous libel upon the Duke of WELLINGTON. The public are not lik e ly t o h e speedily acquai n t e d with the precise nature of the alleged libel, as the Clerk of the Arraigns for the City, with whom the indictment is lodged, acting upon the advice of the Recorder, declines chewing it to any besides the parties interested, and even then only upon the production of an affidavit. „, MR.

A meeting of the Shareholders of Covent-garden Theatre was held this day in the Saloon of the Theatre, pursuant to public advertisement. At two o'clock, Mr. WALLOP in the Chair, The CHAIRMAN said, that the present meeting had been called by himself, without any sort of connection with the Lessees of the Theatre, with whom he had no acquaint ance whatever, though he must consider himself bound to say, that lie felt highly pleased with the conduct of Mr. Kemble since the decision of the Chan cellor, and also with the conduct of his partners, in their efforts to effect a.reconciliation. He had at the last Meet ing listened to the hints thrown out by Mr. Robins, as to the kindness and forbearance exercised by the renters of Drury-lane, when it was in difficulties similar to that which Covent-garden had now to contend with, and he was glad that the expectations raised by Mr.Rehins'ssp ech were not likely to be disappointed. He regretted that the efforts at reconciliation made between Mr. Harris and the Lessees had failed ; but still Mr. Kemble was by no means discouraged, and it was pleasant to observe the cordiality that existed between the Proprietor and the Performers. Indeed the offers made by Mr. Bartley, as representative of the performers, deserved the estimation of the shareholders. As to the creditors, they, with Mr. White at their head, had acted with great kindness, and it remained for the meeting, as shareholders, to pursue a similar course, which was indeed the one best adapted to their own interests. If any share holder had a resolution to propose, he should be happy to hear it. Mr. ROBINS, after a short pause, said that he had wailed in expectation that some other• Gentleman would have offered himself to the Meeting, because he was not actually a Shareholder, though he had thehonour of repre senting several. Mr. Robins then re-stated the facts which he had stated at a former Meeting, t elati ve to the way in which Drury-lane had been brought through its embarrassments. He then proceeded to say that he did not ask them to make sacrifices to such an extent as those that had then been made. There was still pending an important decision relative to the theatre, and whether that decisioo would be in favour of Mr. Kemple or Mr. Harris mattered not to his present deci sion, which was this, that they should hold the arrears now due in abeyance for one, two, or three years. He would not ask them to give them up as in the case of Drury lane, but he would ask them to give up for the next season their dividends in toto. He would not ask them to give up their free admission ; that they might still enjoy ; but he asked them to give up the income, and they would be rewarded by the gratifica tion of knowing that they had contributed to the happi ness of upwards of 600 families. Mr. Robins then pro posed the following resolutions : " At a meeting of the Shareholders of Covent-garden Theatre, held in the Saloon of the Theatre on Saturday, the 19th of September, it was resolved, that the share• holders present do agree among themselves, and earnestly recommend to every other shareholder, to adopt the following resolution :—To relinquish all right to the payment of any dividend for the ensuing season, as an encouragement to the performers to open the Theatre, with a view to improve prospectively the best interests of the Shareholders. Secondly, That all arrears of annuities now due to the Shareholders of the Theatre-Royal, Covent-garden, shall be allowed to remain as a debt on the Theatre, and that the payment of them shall be postponed for three years from the present time, and without having recourse to legal proceedings. "'Mi. ROBINSON should like to know the proportion of Shareholders present, for they appeared to be few in num ber, and small in value. If those present agreed to the resolution, and those absent refused, he should like to know what would be the effect as regarded the interests of those present. Mr. ROBINS could not account for the thinness of the meeting ; the same thing occurred at Drury-lane. Covent garden had 150 Shareholders, and of them 50 were now represented. A circular should be sent round requiring the others to come in, and should any Rot do so, they could do Rothing, for the property of the theatre would be mode over by a bill of sale, so that there would be nothing tangible. Mr. ROBINSON expressed himself satisfied, he had now no doubt the two theatres would open simultaneously. - - - EX TRAORDINARY CHARGE OF FRAUD. BIRMINGHAM, SEPT. 18.-The attention of the Ma gistrates at the public office here was yesterday occupied during a great length of time by an investigation of a very curious nature. John 'Webster, a respectable shopkeeper residing in Worcester -street, in this town, was charged by the parish officers with defrauding George Rooke and Joseph Holder of the sum of two guineas, and also of enticing Rooke to leave the town, by which his wife and children became, or were likely to become, chargeable on the parish. The hearing of the case occupied nearly three hours, and as it would be tiresome to give a matter of rather local interest at length, the following sketch of the circumstances may suffice : About the beginning of this month, the walls of this town were covered with placards in the form of a " Pro clamation" (headed by the Royal Arms), stating that 10,000 emigrants were wanted in America by the " Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company," to act as labourers. The terms on which these persons were to be employed were as follows:—Every one inclined to contract with the " Company," was required to pay a guinea to the agent (Webster, the prisoner), as a guarantee of security to the Company, and as a make weight towards the expences of his passage. Such as were able to pay 6/. for a passage across the Atlantic, were conveyed there on stipulating to give their first three months' labour (gratis) to the Company for such convey ance. A great number of persons who heard of this El Dorado in the uncleared wilds of America, called at Web ster's office, where they saw him and a Mr. Bennett (the I same gentleman who was unfortunately drowned last week, I when going in the Liverpool and London mail, on his re turn to Liverpool, where he resided). Among others who thus paid a guinea each were Rooke and Holder. The former (a smith) was assured of plenty of work, and at the probable remuneration of 50a. per week : the latter (a painter) was told that the " Company" intended building houses, when his trade would be eminently useful to them, and profitable to him. On Monday, the 7th inst., these persons, with a cargo of similar " live stock," were for warded to Liverpool by what Webster called a " Canal Fly-boat,"—without doubt, however,its powers of volitation were not very great, for the consignment (addressed to Mr. Bennett, at Liverpool) (lid not reach its destination until the following Saturday ; for this voyage each man was charged sq. This fortune of the ten thousand (which bide fair to be as celebrated in Birmingham as the like number under Xenophon was in Greece) immediately re paired to the residence of Bennett, and on insisting on seeing 'him, learned that he had been drowned the (lay before. They then went to a Mr. H. B. Richards, who informed them that he did require 500 labourers to go to America, but had no connection with or knowledge of Webster or Bennett, or with or of any person who took money from those whom they engaged to go. It must not be forgotten that Bennett, on giving the agency to Webster, represented himself as connected with this very Mr. Richards. The poor men thus cast adrift by the death of Bennett, were glad enough when Palmer, a Police Officer, arrived from Birmingham with power to apprehend such of them as had left their families charge able on the parish. The receipt of the money by Web ster, and the fact of the placards (issued by him) stating him to be the agent, were fully proved. The defence was that the matter was not one of fraud, but a simple breach of contract, which would have been completed but for the death of Bennett, who was the agent to the Chesapeake and Ohio Company in Liverpool, and had appointed Webster his agent in Birmingham. The prisoner was remanded until Monday, to give the parish solicitor an opportunity of procuring the evidence of Mr. Richards. Bail, to a large amount, was offered for him, pending the re-exami nation, but declined, as his appearance, if bailed before commitment, could not easily be compelled. The matter thus rests for the present. What the denouement may he, or what new features the case may assume, it is impossible and would be unfair to predict. The interest excited in Birmingham is most intense. The tide of feeling sets strongly against the prisoner who, it is said, has received money to the tune of some hundreds of pounds, as agent to this Canal Company.

LP:GER.-Bell's Life in London, and Sporting Chronicle, of To-morrow, September 20, will contain an accurate Portrait of Rowton, the winner of the St. Lege r ' taken expressly for that Journal by Mr. HERRING, t he celebrated animal painter, immediately after the race.-7" The engraving will be similar to those already given ' ll Bell's Life in Londou, of Matilda and The Colonel.--* Bell's Life in London is regularly published at Foot o'clock every Saturday afternoon, at 169, Strand, the price only Sevenpence. It is also on sale at all the Nevis" paper Offices in the City. The Author of " Rejected Addresses," ail of " Brambletye House," has just publi s hed his no vel called " The New Forest." The plot of this striking work is a very remarkable one, and is said to have been founded on a mysterious circumstance which lately to o ' • place in a family of large possessions in the West of Eng' land, and which occasioned disputed claims to the Fr o " perty. To this main point of the subject, which is of tragical nature, the celebrated novelist has added urid!!: plots and characters of the broadest humour, and, %O w unusual effect, has satirized the follies of the present day. The second edition of the works of GEORGE PEELE, one of the most notorious poets of the reign () I , ELtzA,BETn, contains a very curious literary relic, non' f l) ,. the first time printed ; it is a facsimile of an autograP" letter from PEELE to Lord Buitonr.Ev, in 1595, dein?' tine to him The Tale of Troy, which PEELE sent ! 3 MS. to his Lordship. This very poem was printed in s 1599, and it shows the shifts to which its author vi,. 3 thriven to raise money, when six years altetivordo ' e endeavoured to palm it upon the Lord Treasurer El , 3 , 3 entirely new production. The editor of P E ELF.'s wnr ksl ' the Rev. A. DYCE, seems hardly to have laid stress en ou g h upon this circumstance. We are glad to observe, that among other improvements in this second edition, the rare poem, Polyhymnia, is completed from a MS. cory fur nished by Dr. Blass, of Oxford. I
