FEMALE UNION SOCIETY, ESTABLISHEO AT sTocKpoRT. DECLARATION and RULES of the FEMALE UNIoN SOCIETY Of STOCKPORT, from which we c:x tract the following Resolutions, viz. : " 1.

The time is evidently rapidly approaching when tile loyalty, the courage, the morals, and the rood sense of every peaceable and good subject ;:1 be put to the test. The Ukra-Reformers, it appears, are determined to try their strength ' in Smi:hfield-market on the 21st instant ; and, - what more immediately concerns ourselves, we Lave been informed, that the men who would gladly torn the world upside do vit, threaten short ly to visit Macclesfield ! Had we not an unshaken confidence in the honour, fidelity, and unequivo cal loyalty of the great body of our fellow-towns men, we should dread a meeting of the Reformers in our Borough ; but, thank God Macclesfield has too long been nursed in the arms of religion: its inhabitants have been too long accustomed to enjoy the influence of good example in the higher orders, and have been too well trained in the schools of industry, to afford encouragement to those itinerant knaves, who have been so long seeding on the weekly contributions of the poor misguided peope of some other towns in these northern districts. Confident, however, as we are, that the good sense of the people of Maccles field will prevail over the turbulence of fac tion, tine are pleased to observe that a cir cular order has been issued to the Cheshire Yeomanry Cavalry, to be in readiness for actual service on the shortest notice. In deed, it is incumbent on every town, whether im mediately threatened by the sons of sedition or not, to shew their abhorrence of the deigns of those miscreants, as well as to manifest their de termination to resist every attempt to disturb the public peace, by the most vigorous measures of active opposition to the plow of Radical Re• formers. Jo times like these, those who are not for their Country are against it ; those who can tamely sit down and see their domestic peace in vaded, their religion and laws insulted, their very persons threatened, deserve not the name of Eio;lislimen. The coutemptible band of Radical Refoimers are daily gaining strengh, acquiring additional courage, and assuming a bolder tone — nay, they are manifestly proceeding to overt acts treinon and rebellion. And are we, with t 1,14, ra, : )st demonstrable proof that the enemies of the Constitution have already begun the work of demolition—are we to regard all this with indifference ? Let us not deceive ourselve's : we know that mischief of the most serious nature is brewing—we know, too, from what quarter it principally issues—we could, if it were as yet pro 'per and necessity, almost point out the hand that writes, the head that dictates, and the fountain from whence flow the abominably seditious peti tions and resolutions which at this time inundate the country. It is not our duty, however, to turn informers. Let his Majesty's Attorney-General look to it—ltt the brave Yeomanry of the coun try hold themselves in readiness, and all those who have the good . of their country at heart count not their lives dear when that country is in dan ger : whosoever shrinks from danger in such a contest is a coward—whoever lends his aid, either by his tongue, his pen, or his purse, to the Mea sures of the Ultra-Reformists, is a knave and a traitor. Unless some speedy and effectual check be put to the measures, secret and open, of the Ultras, the time is not far distant, when it will require more strength than the good amongst us are possessed of to subdue the mischief that the bad will accomplish. It is of no use to call tor the fire-engines after the house is burnt down.— (Moccle.field Courier, July 17.) SIR CHARLES WOLSELY. The Quarter Sessions for this County began on! Tuesday last, JOHN THoMAS STANLEY, Ball.' Foreman, anti a most numerous and respectable Bench of Magistrates : we enumerated upwards of 20 on the Bench at one time. The Earl of Stam ford, the Lord Lieutenant of the County, was on the Bench. Sir J. T. Stanley, Bart. after allud ing in his charge to the state of the calendar, and calling the attention of the Jury to the different Acts of Parliament passed during the last Session, made a most animated address to them on the present state of the country. He said, that the banner of rebellion was unfurled, and that, although no act of aggression had yet been totimmitted, yet, as far as words went —so far as the seditious and blasphemous expres sions ailed at the late public meetings went, this country might be said to be in a state of civil war. The question of Parliamentary Reform, the Chairman justly added, it was not then neces sary to discuss. Whatever might be the difference of opinion on that question, it was the duty of all good men to resist the attempts now making to subvert the Laws anti Constitution of the Coun try. He called upon the yeomanry of the county, upon whom he had the strongest reliance, to unite with the Magistracy in their firm determina tion to support those Laws and that Constitution. The Chairman concluded with stating to the Jury, that some matters of great importance would, he understood, be brought before them, which would require their most serious and attentive consider ation. In the course of the day, amongst the true bills returned by the Grand Jury, was one against Sir C. IVoisely, Bart., and Harrison, the preacher, for the turbulent and seditious speeches made by them on the 26th ult. at Stockport, with intent to excite tumult and insurrection within this realm. Birch, the active Police officer, of Stockport, was immediately dispatched with a Bench warrant, and apprehended the Baronet at his seat in Staffordshire on Wednesday afternoon, and Thursday moruing conveyed him to Kouts ford. The remains of the Dowager Lady Wolesly having been interred on the morning of that day, the officer did not proceed to \Volsely Park until the afteruoon,; and a little before 8 o'clock Sir Charles, accompanied by the venerable Major Cart wright, with the officer on the dickey, reached Staffot d, where the horses having been changed, the party proceeded to Newcastle, where they re mained at the Roebuck inn until Thursday morn ing ; when they proceeded and reached Kontstord about half-past 10. The Sessions not having ter minated, the Baronet appeared in Court time same morning, and was bell to bail, himself in 5001, and two sureties in 2501. each ; for the want of the latter being at hand, he was ordered to be committed till two worthies could be found.-- After scouring the country, we are informed these were procured from Stockport about nine o'clock at night. The bail was accepted, and Sir Charles liberated to enjoy with freedom time com• pany of his beloved friend Major Cartwright, who was with him when apprehended, and accom panied him to and from time Court of Justice. Our correspondent adds, that both he and the old Major were in good spirits. At noon yester day, they walked about two miles On their return home, to the house of Mr. Giles, a village school master, in 011erton, whither the Baronet's car riage afterwards went, and they proceeded on their journey to Wolsely-bridges.—(Macelesiield Courier.) We received this morning the Paris Papers of Saturday last. The Chamber of Peers, on Friday, began and finished the discussion of the Budget of Ways and Means, atid of all its articles (a striking contrast to the tedious debates of the Deputies), and agreed unanimously to the proiet. Ten new Peers were then declared, namely, Marshal the Marquess Gonvion Saint Cyr, the Marquesses de LouvOis, de la Suze, and de Bois Gelin, the Counts de la Bourtlonnaye, de Blossac, de Damas, Laniuinais, de Choiseul Gouffier, de Castellane, and the Viscount Mathieu de Montmorency. The Chamber afterwards ad journed till Saturday.—The following are ex tracts:— " PARIS, JULY 17.—The King yesterday re ceived a Deputation of the Chamber of Peers, who delivered to his Majesty the projet respecting the importation and exportation of Grain. His Majesty afterwards transacted business with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and took an airing to Sevres. The Duke of Orleans paid a visit yei terday to the King and the Princes. " Madame Catalani arrived at Harnburgh the 6th inst.; after a short stay, she intended to pro ceed to Dobereau. " From Guerande (Loire Inferieure), it is stated, on the Bth instant, about seven p. in. a shock of an earthquake was felt here, which ap peared to be in the direction N.N.W. it was vreceded by a noise similar to that of distant thunder.' " The closing of the Session of the Chambers takes place this day by Commission.

We have just beard with feelings of horror that a body of the Reformers, who have so ?: disturbed Yorkshire, recently Waited upOn a dir tinguished Nobleman in that County, witb All i quisition, which the Noble Lord having "c" et to support in the manner required, he was in' lne, diately shot dead by one of the ruffians. Most 11 l should we be to find that this report is false ; 1 / 1 1. we tear every thing is to be expected from a gc. voliitionary Mob. We are shocked tb find tlizit another set of laded or abandoned women have imitated 111. example of those of BLaexisnex, and have ill ; stituted another Society of female Rebel s Stockpbit. We have inserted this day the Re s°• lutions which have been issued, and ..'vhich that those wicked Reformers who mislead women are not only determined, by all pos' ibi . e means, to corrupt the minds of the lower ortler9 of People at present, and to train the rising gene' ration into the same traitorous course, but t() prey upon their credulity by draining from ( 11611 all the money that these ignorant women can tila re ' which, howeversmall the proportion, takes from ° • necessary support of themselves and their If this be not an alarming state of affairs %ye I cn°: , not in what national danger can consist. are our Clergy supine Why do they n ot all ° /e , ti the Empire come forward in their pulpits, :andla domestic visitation, to point out to the misg uide women the danger to which they expose th e°• selves, their children, and their country. But evert day produces some new proof of t h e ex tell s i c mischief which is now on foot. We also luseil c this day a copy of a Circular Letter issued 3 Rochdale, for the same atrocious par se. With all these symptoms of wide conli" cl wlagainst the Government of the co we are astonished that there are People we disposed towards Government, that they see no danger from the assemblag e c' t an innumerable Rabble, that are likely to from all quarters to-morrow, and who will d"u bl ; less be stimulated by their instigators to the tu% horrible excesses. It is, however, with the titu l°s , satisfaction we assure our Readers, that preen'. ions which human wisdom could decile have been taken to preserve the peace of the tit tropolis. But great danger must be appreheto led and it is truly lamentable, that such a Me etill l cannot he prevented from t,iking place here , as c would not be permitted in any other country , even in America, which boasts itself as the /II• vourite residence of Freedom. Tuts FUNDS.—The various attempts to 001115 the Money Market have completely faiied. 5 r terday afternoon Consols rose one and a half P e , cent.; they opened at 69i, and closed at 6.0!• morning they began at 70, and o,nnitim done at 21, premium. Most of the Jobbers b ° turned Bulls, and the Market has every alY 4s : e ance of a further advance. Several failures been announced ; others, it is said, to a C O0: derable amount, have taken place, but they Ll4%r not been declared. o' f The recent exposition of the accoun t ', p : i R CHUCtIER's College, Petersfield bo' , has ex cir '' great astonishment and concern.

DEWSBURY. We have been surprised to read in the Leeds Newsapers of Monday and Thursday last, that the principal houses in the woollen-manufacture at Dewsbury had acceded to the regulations of ad vance of price and limitation in quantity of work, which have been the objects sought for by the la bouring classes in entering into the " Union," and that all is now harmony and peace. These repre sentations, we have the best authority for saying, are at variance with the fact. So far from the diffe rences having been adjusted, the combination is in full operation at Dewsbury, and has extended to the neighbouring district of Lleckmondwyke, Batley, &c., where the men have all struck for an advance of wages. The whole of the blanket trade is in consequence in a state of stagnation, and " it remains to be seen,!' says our Corre spondent, '' whether the prices demanded can be afforded to be given, or whether this advance will drive the trade to places where the combina tion does not exist." " The sum demanded," he adds, " is an advance of about 10 per cent. on the manufactured goods ; and at the former rate of wages, the workmen earned from 161. to 2(is. per week, for eleven hours' work daily. In con sequence of this state of things, and the depressed situation of trade, Messrs. Hallilcy, Son, and Brook, of Dewsbury, the largest blanket-manu facturers in England, have resolved to shut up their mill ; and at the close of the present week they will finally suspend their operations." We learn that the object of die above.mea • . „ „ cionctl " tlnion" lit, to atrvante the place of labour; an:, 2dly, to ensure constant employ ment. And the means proposed for effecting these object 3 are, Ist, to diminish the hours of labour and, bily, to restrict the weekly earnings of the workmen to a sum not exceeding from a guinea to 245. a week. This sum, it is supposed, Would, at the advanced prices, be obtained by eight hours' labour in a clay ; and the 4upply of goods, the projectors imagine, would, in consg quince. be reduced to a level with the demand, whereby bette": prices would be obtained both at home and in the foreign markets.—(Leeds Mer cury.) WAKEFIELD. Monday evening some Radical Reformers met at the Elephant and Castle, Wakefield, for the professed object of deciding upon the propriety of holding a Public Meeting in that place. The number of those assembled was con temptible, to say nothing of their eharacters and situaticia in life. Mr. Metre appeared amongst them, but a violent disqgreement of opinion taking place between him and some others of these Reformers, the Meeting broke up after a warm altercation, without settling any of the objects for which it had been called.— A vote of censure was passed up )u several per sons, as tinsel-faced cowards, for not making their appearance amongst them. As far as the evidence of this Meeting may be relied upon, the cause of these Radical Reformers has yet made but little progress in Wakefield. NOTTINGILINI. During the present week, a paper was zealous ly banded about for signatures, requesting the Mayor to call a public meeting, to take into consideration the question of Reform. On its be ing presented to the Mayor, he deemed it ad visable to consult with his brother Magistrates upon the subject, and in ; the end be 'dosed to comply with the requisition. We understand that the requisitiGnists have, in consequence, deter mined to convene a meeting themselves ; and an advertisement, announcing the same, was ac cordingly brought to our Office last night, but for reasons which, under existing circumstances, must be sufficiently obvious:to every one, we decline in serting it.—(Nottingham Journal.)
