If the Government should not, of its own accord, une ertake it, the public will be wanting to its, own int.( .rest if it do not press on the Government such an investigation, and compel it to find a remedy for a stoct e of things which is at once dangerous to so ck and disgraceful to the Legislature. Either it .is in the power of the Legislature to ward off izsuch evils, to train up mankind in the ways of vh t ue and of peace, and to provide a full measure of stint istence for all who are born on the earth, and then out. Legislature has grossly and shamefully neglected its 41 aty ; or, it is not in the power of legislation to ac corj Ash these grand objects, and then the sooner our Leg islature and the people are convinced of its ineffi eieri 2y, the sooner both will seek some rational means to ut tail) the end desired. An infinitely less evil than the `,l urn-out of the operatives, which, in one short week, has paralyzed trade, and given a heavier blow to public credit than all the imputed malversations of the WI ri s, which the Income-tax is to remedy, was no soo ae: • revealed to the country by the Commissioners for :inc i airing into Mines than there was an almost unilvers al shout for a law to correct it, and a zealous haste in passing such a law, which no considerations of v that was due to the colliers could restrain. We ha , :e a right, therefore, to expect that the con diLiou of the operatives generally, which their pr esent conduct proves to be pregnant with ti rror for the rest of society, shall immediately lead ti ) a diligent and searching investigation, and to the tl Loughtful... suggestion of appropriate remedies. So w ill the Government, following that Being whom it is said to represent on earth, educe good out of seeming evil, and promote the present peace of sac 'ety and its permanent and ever growing pros per. ity. 'he extension of military power, if necessary at thi' moment to preserve life and property, greatly to the t discredit of the Government, cannot, it is plain, be always had recourse to. A military Government is so costly, that it is ruinous. It may possibly ger\ ie for a tnilitary people, but for a commercial and manufacturing nation, whiCh carries on its mut 5 farious' operations by credit and confidence, it is w dolly out of the question. Nor does the success of st.tc h a system on the Continent, where it degrades the !people without preserving peace—for we have seen, emeates, insurrections, and revolutions there, • we enjoyed internal peace—recommend that sys ter a to. our adoption. For the prosperity of England, it h east ntially necessary that confidence between the diff 4rent., classes be restored, and that the attachment of tb e p e ople to the Government be revived, which it can c.nly be bry the Government acting justly, honestly, 'and sincer Ply, and by the constable's staff again be coming, freln ALL the people loving and honouring the law, the em blem of irresistible power. While we do full justice t o thepromptness; by which a great mili tary power bits been assembled in the manufacturing , districts, we :must at once assert that its use can only be tolerated•-.as the most temporary expedient, and that succe 3sfa,rebellion is to be preferred to the permanent establishment of a military tyranny. Be sides, we have ourselves tried this military and police Government without much success. It has been gra dually groT:ing into.strength here, gradually repress ing every:little harmless ebullition of 'popular.feeling,. till it Las. turned attachment into dislike, and has concentrat ad 'diAike into ardent hatred, gradually beating do wn',the multitude below the level of hu manity, and at length has brought on 'a wide-spread insurrectiOn. Nor can we rely on the old Tory system. That. has been Carried out bath by Whigs and Tories, and our present condition is the result. The power and wealth of the priesthood have suffered no abate ment. 1t is the boast of the Tories that the influence of the Mach has been wonderfully increased. Go vernmertt is as expensive as ever. The tax-gatherer's exactions are increased, not relaxed. Extravagance in high places . is continued. The riches of the aris tucrrtcy 114 ye not declined. Great fortunes are still :•; +► ~S ~. made and enjoyed irNIT City. Every feature of the Tory system is yet re ained, even to the corruption by which Tories obtain an ascendancy in Parliament, and yet there is great distress, great discontent, and an alarming outstand amongst the people. When the Tories left office they left a rebellion in the agri cultural districts ; they have scarcely had time since their return to office to cheat the hopes they inspired when they find a rebellion in the manufacturing dis tricts. Toryism, therefore, cannot help us, out of our difficulties. In truth the evils complained of are the consequences of our political system, and that requires investigation. Heaven has been bountiful to us. It has endowed our people with unsurpassed skill and unwearied industry. Our land is fertile, and teems with mineral wealth, as our seas teem with fish. Our commerce and our colonies enable us to supply our wants from the whole globe. With advantages such as no nation ever before was blessed with, a great multitude of the people are sorely degraded and distressed, and their grievous discontent continually causes alarm and insecurity. Into these circumstances a solemn investigation) is required ; and if the out stand of the manufacturing labourers lead to that, it will not be without a beneficial result. An Evening Contemporary, whose remarks we in sert, tries to throw the, whole blame of all possible dissatisfaction and discontent on the Whigs. It was they, according to the Standard, who taught the people to be dissatisfied with the law, and to seek their objects by violence. They must have caused, then, the progress of society, and the increase of knowledge, for it is these which have made old insti tations and old laws unsuitable to our present con dition. We have, however, of late been boastingly reminded that our commercial code was first reformed by the Tories, and Sir ROBERT PEEL disparaged what he left of our criminal code by what he altered. For the last twenty years there has been a regular and continual retreat from old posi tions, as they were successively invaded by popular knowledge. How could the people continue to re verence laws which they were practically taught were erroneous and unjust? Both parties have equally ; lifted the boundaries of the law andthe Constitution, and moved them away; but the Tories have set the bad example of seeking to maintain a false position by violence, till they have roused threats of violence in attack, and then they have fled. They have been the men to have recourse to force, and by yielding they have taught the people the art of conquering the Government. It is, however, not at all desirable at present to bandy accu sations between Whigs and Tories ; the condition of society has become troublesome and alarming, and it is now the business of every patriot to use his best exertions to restore peace, concord, and prosperity. Without blaming either party, or any individuals, and without specifying the immediate causes of the existing evils, we lay it down as an incontrovertible fact, which must be the foundation of all improve ment, that the labouring classes of the community are too heavily burdened. They work too hard, and are too little rewarded. They are not only exposed to great physical privations, but they see others re lieved from them at their expense. They bear, in truth all the burdens of society, and are scarcely al lowed to taste its benefits. Laws which are for them fetters, are privileges for others. While the salary of every servant of Government is fully assured to him— while the income of the priest is made as certain as the return of the seasons—while the rent of the landlord is subject to very little variation, except to increase—while the owners of the national debt are guaranteed their in come, and every monied man gathers in his interest with mathematical certainty, the reward of labour is not sure from day to day; and, squeezed down by profit, rent, and taxes, seems continually growing smaller, or is kept at that pittance which barely supports existence.. These are facts ; they may be in the order of nature ; they may not be the consequence of positive enactments ; but the consequence is the existence of an immense mass of poorly fed, badly lodged, and incompletely clothed labourers, who are filled with discontent, and whose discontent is a per petual source of uneasiness to others. If they be in the order of nature and irremovable, let that be demonstrated, and let the Legislature bend its exertions to lessen the evils as much as pos sible ;if they be not in the order of nature, but the consequence of positive laws, it follows that some bad laws are the causes of the national trouble. All classes are deeply interested in demanding a solemn investigation into this point, for the landlord is alarmed furilis_rent, the priest for his tithes—the e ipitatist foris Limner" man tor nis in teiest, the moment the labourers begin to stir in pur suit of their rights, or even cease to labour ; and they seem incapable of fancying or finding any remedy for their own apprehensions, but the establishment of a complete military governrhent, which must, in our judgment, be *fatal to the commerce, the prosperity, and the liberty of England. It is now the duty of all these classes, not only to inquire, but to take an in creased share of the national burdens, and allow labour to have more social advantages. If they con tinue rapaciously to extort all that can be extorted from the labourer, expecting to keep him for ever toiling hard, and obtaining little or nothing, it re quires no reach of sagacity to predict continual com motions, national decay, and ultimately national ruin. RUMOUR THAT HER MAJESTY HAD BEEN AGAIN ATTACKED.—Yesterday a rumour was extensively circulated in the metropolis that another attack had been made on her Majesty. The " Court Circular" explains on how small a foundation it rested. A man, who it seems could give no good account of him self, but otherwise had nothing about him to excite suspicion, had, in company with some workmen, it is supposed, found his way into the Castle. He was found there, and sent up to town, that his case might be investigated. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, TUESDAY: —The Queen and Prince Al bert walked this morning in the Great Park Slopes, and to Adelaide Lodge. The Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal were taken their usual airing. Prince Albert, the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, and the Prince of Leiningen, attended by Colonel Wylde, rode to Virginia Water to have some rabbit shooting. In the afternoon her Majesty and the Prince, the Duke of Saxe Coburg, the Duchess of Norfolk, the Maids of Honour, Colonel Wylde, and Captain Meynell, rode in pony phaetons and carriages into the Great Park. The Duchess of Norfolk has succeeded the Vi: - countess Jocelyn as the Lady in Waiting ; and Cap tain Meynell has succeded Captain Hood as the Groom in Waiting on her Majesty. The Duchess of Kent, the Prince of Leiningen, Lady C. Dundas, and Sir G. Couper, will dine with the Queen this evening. The town has been excited to-day by a rumour -that a person had been found within the Castle on the ground floor, in the vicinity of the principal entrance ; that when noticed, he said he had come for his pension, and had walked from Woolwich for it. He was searched, but it is stated that nothing of in terest was found upon him. He was attired in a fustian jacket and trowsers, and at one time stated that he entered the Castle in company with some workmen. Mr. Speed, of the police, kept him in custody last night, and took him to London this morning by an early train. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge ho noured Sir George Scovell with a visit on Monday at Sandhurst, and afterwards proceeded to the residence of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, at Bagshot Park. Yesterday morning his Royal High ness took leave of his Royal sister, and returned to town. The Military Secretary to the Commander of the Forces, visited Sir James Graham yesterday at the Home-office. Lord Wharncliffe, Lord President of the Council, left town yesterday morning, for his seat, Wortley Hall, Sheffield, Yorkshire. Baron Brunow, the Russian Minister, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. Lord and Lady Hamilton Chichester arrived at Fnrranee's Hotel, Belgrave-street, yesterday, from Malta. TIIE APPARENT MOTIONS OF JUPITER AND SA.. TURN.—The retrog rade motion of th e pl ane t J u pi ter h as forsome time . past been very conspicuous, in consequence of his proximity to the planet Saturn. Although Saturn has been retrograding at the same time, yet his motion is much slower than that of Jupiter. These planets will be at their nearest approach to each other on the 9th day of September next—the distance between them being about five degrees and a half. After the 9th September, when Jupiter will begin to move eastward, the gradual separation of the planets will be as avparent as in the approach at present. llis Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, accom panied by the Duchess of Inverness, is expected to leave Kensington Palace the second week in September, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury at Alton Towers, and thence to Newstead Abbey. THE SUN, LONDON,. WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1842 Tbt ,§lln4 , ronil- 7 4ttton s2tA* SUN OFFICE Three o' Clock. The intelligence from the disturbed districts is not quite so encouraging as it was yesterday. At pre sent the most unfavourable symptoms are in the neighbourhood of the Potteries, where the mob have destroyed several houses, andeXhibited a more furious and determined spirit of insubordination than has been any where exhibited since the commencement of the riots. But even these men, notwithstanding their apparent recklessness and hardihood of purpose, made no stand against the small military force by which they were opposed, but dispersed with as much ex pedition as they •had assembled. A correspondent, describing the conflict, says :—" On the mob nearing the military, they flourished their bludgeons over their heads, gave a cheer, and assailed them with missiles. The order was given to fire, when one man was shot dead, another was shot through the back, and has been taken to the North Staffordshire In firmary, but is scarcely expected to survive. The mob, perceiving the fatal effect of the firing of the military, fled in the grehtest. consternation and speed, in all 'directions." At Huddersfield, where the opera tives mustered in great force, and showed a spirit somewhat similar to that displayed in the Potteries, they were dispersed with equal facility by the troops. "After the Riot Act had been read," says 'a corres pondent, "the soldiers were ordered to clear the streets,„ind immediately acted on their instructions. This was di c e time for testing the courage of the mob, who, so far from. stOWing'fight, tock to their heels, and dispersed in all directions, in the greatest possible confusion and terror." It is evident' from these and other indications, that there is a want of earnestness in the rioters, as if, despite their refusal to return to work, they were cowed by an instinctive consciousness of the folly, and infatuation—not to say, madness—of their proceedings. It would seem also, that, in many instances, they are ignorant of what they are clamour ing for. In one quarter their demand is for " a fair day's wages for a fair day's work ;" in anotlar, for the Charter, and nothing but the Charter. Unsteadi ness of purpose is but too manifest among them ;. there seems no controlling or guiding power. Under such circumstances—there. being no very de cided or energetic spirit of resistance prevalent amcng the rioters—we.are not without confident hopes that reason and common sense will, in a day or two, exert a wholesome influence over their minds, and convince them that they themselves have as great an interest in the maintenance •of order -as any of the classes above them. Meantirrie much will depend on the spirit in which the Military and civil authorities exercise the duties entrusted to them. Firm, prompt, and energetic, they must of necessity be ; but all unnecessary severity shotild be avoided, or the mobs, goaded to desperation, may exhibit a far more alarm ing aspect than they have yet shown. As a signi ficant sign of the times, we quote a portion of a cir cular issued by Messrs. BIRLEY and Co.—one of the greatest manufacturing firms in Manchester, who . have till now persisted in keeping their mills at work, but are now, like the other mill-owners, compelled most reluctantly to close them :—" We have thought it right determinedly to resist the demands and efforts of a lawless mob, and not to cease offering employment to the hands accustomed to work at these mills. In this course we have persisted from the day w h en w e were attacked, until the close of last Friday and Saturday a large pro- Fttion 'us toe hands" did hot come, ilLiu we reluctantly close cur mills until we know that we shall again have hands to, attend to the machinery in the various departments." We quote the following passage from the Times, in which it will be seen that additional precautionary measures are recommended, in the event of the disturbances as. suming a more serious aspect than is the case at present :—" If the crisis continues much longer, extraordinary measures must be resorted to for the reinforcement of the military and police; and all good subjects should hold themselves prepared to co operate•with the authorities upon the first signal that there is any occasion for their services. We trust that the prevention of mischief will, be the great ob ject of all who have any force at their disposal." The Paris papers of Monday have reached us. Their leading articles are chiefly on the Regency Bill, and the distressed condition of the working classes in England. Monday, being the Feast of the Assumption, was observed as a strict holiday. There was no business done at the Bourse or Banks, and the Post-office closed at three o'clock. The subjoined are extracts : A letter from Oran, July 30, says :—" We have news from the expeditionary column of General d'Arbouville, which has run through the north of our province, and executed several razzias against the Flitas, bringing back a considerable bootY: Some of the chiefs have proposed conferences, and two Kaids have submitted. The prin cipal chiefs, however, still hold back, claiming a right of neutrality, and a sort of pre-eminence ;ever the chiefs that have already come over to us. The Government can not admit those exceptions, asthey would engender discord and would wound the pride of our allies. It is rumoured that the Chiefs have named a day for ,a grand meeting, to fix definitively their submission. As. soon as we shall have reduced tins part of the province, we shall have only to keep, our ground, for it will then be totally con quered, and the tribes, worn out by the long contest, will scarcely be able to .make head against us for some time. Under the Turkish regime the tribes of the Flitas were the,most numerous, the most warlike, and the most opulent in the Regency. Their Kaid was ono of the most eminent men of the native militia, and the horse men were deemed the most adroit in manly exercises of any in the plain. During the fetes of the Rhamadan visitors came in from all parts to see them,. so celebrated are they for their elegance, their rich costumes, and su periority of their manners. Their country, of great extent and perfectly well cultivated, is one of the most productive and picturesque of all the Regency. They had a treaty of commerce which' placed them in connection with the Sicilian -and Alakese traders, ,t0.....wh0m they disposed of the surplus of their corn and cloths. It is the remembrance of their ancient greatness that pre vents their imitating their neighbours in submitting. As to attachment to Abd - el - Kader , t hey have none. The last Kaid of the Flitas under the Turkish rule is still alive. His name is Chermort, and since 1834 he has been in the service of France. He is an old man, of un tarnished reputation, and much respected by the natives On account of former grandeur. Ile is an extraordinary example of Oriental resignation, for after quitting without a murmur his command, he entered our Spabis as a simple horseman. He received the cross for his bravery, and is at present a corporal. His complete ignorance of our language prevents h is rising higher, but h e seems to care little about the mat ter, for he is alto g eth er void of ambition.”—Le Constitution ntl.

This morning there ha s been constant communica tion between the Duke of 'Wellington, the new Com mander-in-Chief, and James Graham, the Home an Secretary. It is understood t hatd are ] even troops en route have reeeived orders for the North, for Birmingham, owing' to the alarming accounts re ceived in town early this morning. At some of the military stations in the metropolis the military were under arms last night.

Letters from Manchester this morning represent affairs there to be much in the same state, the people quiet, but business wholly suspended. The tone ge nerally is more cheering, and it was expected that no further outrages would occur. In opposition, however, to these, the manufacturers at Leeds give accounts of a most serious collision between the troops and the mob,. and state that the greatest ex citement existed. This place' had hitherto been unin fluenced by the proceedings in other parts of the county, and disturbance now has caused the greatest alarm. Scarcely any thing has been done in the Money markets, but prices remain a§ yesterday, Consols being 91i for Money and for the Account ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 92i 92}; Three-and-a-Half per Cents.

No bargain in Mexican has been reported. The Share Market has exhibited a revival from the dull state in which it has been during the last few days. London and Birmingham are marked 179 ; Manchester and Birmingham, 25 ; North Midland, 571 581; Edinburgh and Glasgow, New, 34; Great Western, 891; Cheltenham and Great Western, 241; South Western, 62*; and Blackwell, 9. The time bargains in these Bonds have been—Por tuguese Three - per Cents., 19 *• Spanish Five per Cents., 20*; and the Three per dents., 204. Accounts from Russia notice that from and after the Ist January, 1843, an addition of per cent. will be made to the rates of duty upon all produce which may be imported into St. Petersburgh sub sequently to that day, or which may then be remaining in the bonded warehouses. The proceeds are to be applied to building a bridge across the Neva, - -which - it is stated will afford considerable facility to the transit of merchandise. By a chance vessel later intelligence has been re ceived both from Buenos Ayres and Monte Video. These countries remained in the same disturbed state, and each party were snaking increased preparations for carrying on the war. In addition to the internal troubles of the Argentine republic, Chili had placed itself in a hostile position towards it, and prohibited any communication on account of an alleged breads of a treaty. Mercantile matters were exceedingly dull, and a further fall had taken place in the prices of im ported goods, as well as in exports, for either of which it was difficult to find purchasers. • The rates of exchange were the same as last re ported-34- at Buenos Ayres, and 424 at Monte Video.

The President then put to the vote the proposal of M. L'lferbette, and but 15 Members of the Left rose in support of it. Accordingly it was decided that there should be neither debate nor interpellations. M. Dupin's report made some changes in Art. 2 of the project of law.

Mr. Leicester (Vining) and his lady (Miss Charles) a newly-mar ried couple, who, having quarreled, determine to separate, and Floss is applied to by the husband to sell the furniture. This he undertakes to do, and at the same time lets the husband a chateau in France, and the wife a cottage in Devonshire. Vernon (Brindal), a cousin of Mrs. Leicester, interferes to bring about a reconciliation, which is effected at length by the in strumentality of Floss, the "general agent" of the piece. It ii a lively, pleasant trifle. The character of Floss, which is evidently a sketch from life, was most artistically acted by Farren. His advertisement writing was the ne plus ultra of elaborate puff. He was excellently supported by Mr. Clark, as Dot, the auctioneer's clerk, and by Vining and Miss Charles as Mr. and Mrs. Leicester. The piece is well got up. The auction scene is, especially, admirably managed. At the conclusion, Farren announced it for re petition every evening until further notice, amidst the unanimous applause of the house. Loco motion was preceded by Douglas Jerrold's drama of the Housekeeper, and folloWed by Webster's admirable drama of Peter and Paul, which increases nightly in attraction... This is one of those sterling dramas that will more than survive the season. It will doubtless become a . - stock piece, and deservedly so, as it is the best domestic drama that has been produced for years. The house was well . filled. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) CITY, TUESDAYEVRNING. TIMES.—The Committee of the Stock Exchange met to-day, to consider the case of one of the parties placed in the "fourth class" by the Commissioners on the repudiated Exchequer bills. A preliminary resolution has been adopted, but as it as yet requires confirmation, and another meeting is to be held to morrow on the subject, it has not been deemed right at present to communicate it to the public. The English funds rose a trifle to-day, and though the advance was not of an important character, it was sufficient to show the, feeling of the market in respect to the effect the appearance of the 4r00p4 has had in the manufacturing districts. No large plifehases were made, but the general currency of business exceeded any that has occurred for the last four days. Money is quite at a low ebb in the market, and the rate cer tainly does not exceed one per cent. for the usual pe riods of accommodation. By the official returns publishel by the Customs the export of the precious metals to foreign and colo nial parts, for the week ending Thursday last, was as under, viz. : Ounces.

Somewhat of a novelty was exhibited on 'Change to day, in the fact that American merchants choose to remit to this country, as a medium for paying the amounts due upon the Continent. The result was that the amount of bills was large, and the rates rose proportionably, Amsterdam being 12 54, 12 5 ; Hamburgh, 13 111 13 114 ; Rotterdam, 12 5-1 12 51 ; Antwerp, 12 54 12 4 ; Paris, 25 72i 25 774 ; Frankfort, 151 151* ; Genoa, 25 80.25 85 ; Vienna, 9 531- 9 541 ; Madrid, 371; and Lisbon, 524, all at three months.

Remarkably fine fresh-gathered Kentish cherries, retailed in full weight (avoirdupois), eight pounds for sixpence. Green gages at fourpence, and fine Orleans plums at threepence per gallon. Large well-flavoured apples, fit for pies and puddings, at one half-penny per dozen ; whilst sugar-loaf cabbages were retailing at three for a penny. French beans and scarlet runners at threepence per peck ; large-sized cucumbers two for a penny ; and water-cressas four bunches for a half-penny. Such a scale of prices for the same edible commodities has not been recognised by the oldest person who attends the stalls in the above market, and some of them are far advanced in senectitude, and have frequented the same for upwards of forty years. THE COAL-MINES OF LANCASHIRE.---Ii has been calculated that the available coal-beds in Lancashire amount, in weight, to the enormous sum of 8,400,000,000 tons ; the total annual consumption of this coal, it has been estimated, amounts to 3,400,120 tons ; hence kis inferred that the coal-field of Lancashire, at the present rate of consumption, will last 2,470 years. Mr. Baker, who is well known on the Corn Ex change as a large speculator in grain, regularly announ ced yesterday the necessity of a suspension of payments. The cause of this is said to be that he purchased too large a stock of foreign grain to work off in the market, the condition of which was not such as to meet his anti cipations. It is generally believed that he purchased wheat to the amount of 120,0001., and other grain to the amount of 30,0001, on a supposition that the market was favourable for the import of foreign grain at the prices which he had paid, but the revulsion of prices in favour of the market purchaser, partly caused by the appearance of the weather for the coming crops, caused the unfortu nate event just described. He is not supposed to have many connections in the London corn trade who will suffer by his failure ; but it is thought that in some of the prorincial towns the occurrence may be more severely felt.— Times. IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN CATTLE UNDER THE NEW Lutrp-F.—The supply of cattle at Smithfield market yesterday was much greater than for several weeks past. There were sixty head of cattle imported under the new tariff from Rotterdam and Hamburgh. They resemble very much the Lincolnshire breed, but are far inferior to our own as regards fatness, and met with a very dull sale. The importation of foreign cattle offers but a poor profit, as our markets are so, plentifully supplied from Scotland and Ireland with a much superior quality. DUNDEE.—On Friday last a large concourse of in dividuals assembled in the High -street about two o'clock, carrying a banner plainly indicative of their purpose, and seemingly conscious of the cause of their misery. Con siderable alarm having been felt for the preservation of the peace of the town, every precaution was taken to suppress a riot, should one take place ; and with this view, the military, and a large force of police were in readiness. We are happy to say, however, that the multitude " have borne their sufferings with exemplary patience," and quietly dispersed after the lapse of two hours.—Dundee Advertiser. STATE OF TRADE IN PAISLEY.—As was to be expected at this season, a slight improvement in the shawl trade has taken place, but, we must confess, far below what we had expected. So far as things have yet gone, all that is done is entirely. on speculation, and great caution is observed on all hinds. First-rate weavers find no difficulty in getting work ; but the ordinary hands, and those whose poverty prevents them from put ting up webs, without assistance from the manufacturers, cannot get work.—Glasgow Argus. The friends of the abolition of slivery met at Malta on the 30th ult., and formed a society, called the Anglo- Maltese Auxiliary Association. The Governor, Lieut enant General Sir 11. Bouverie, was in the chair, and Major Studholme Hodgson, of the 19th Regiment, was the principal speaker. The object was to form a branch of the parent society. Several Maltese of rank have joined the Association. Papers received yesterday from the Cape of Good Hope announce the arrival of the Lord Hungerford, East Indiaman, Captain Pigott, H. C. S., _at Algoa Bay, from Bengal, on the 24th of May, and sailed again on the 27th May, for London, having on board the late Go vernor-General of India, the Right Hon.

THE INTRUDER INTO WINDSOR CASTLE. The man who was apprehended under suspicions circumstances in the footman's waiting-room at Wind sor Castle the day before ysterday, after having been examined by the • Earl of, Liverpool, the lord high txt.7:(.1,,,,..w1-Lc.v.ilsitti—atia. in the + he -- morning Was : conveyed to LOndon by the first trai n , in the custody of Inspector Steed. On his arrival in town he was taken to the Gardiners'-lane• station, where he remained until. late jn the after noon, when he was taken to, the Home office, and examined by Sir James Graham. The examination ]acted some time, .and at its conclu sion, we understand, the prisoner was remanded to Tothill-fields Briclewell. He is a short, spare man, apparently about forty years of age, and was dressed in a velveteen jacket and trousers, and wore a black glazed hat. When apprehended he. had in his hand a bundle, .contain ing a shirt and pair of shoes, and he had a thick walking-stick with him. He stated that he had followed a pot-boy who was carrying beer into the Castle, and that having lost hims.elf, he had sat down to rest. This is, most, probably, a correct accoupt of the matter. NO dangerous weapon has been found on him, and nothing has transpired to -.connect him in any way with - Whigism, • Chartism, or any of the other isms. If his intentions in entering the Castle were criminal; they certainly were more akin to larceny than to treason. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) LONDON, Alio. 17.—Wind this day at noon, easterly.

The fresh arrivals since Monday have been small. The weather continuing favourable, scarcely any busi ness has been transacted here, and prices remain nomin ally as on Monday. The bakers purchased Flour very reluctantly. NEWGA.TE AND LEADENHALL. In consequence of the very warm weather, the sale was limited. Agi eat portion of the Beef was from Scotland and,iliAland, admitted under the new Tariff at a low duty. - :Phi_ quality was rather coarse, but prices were unaltered for prime kinds. A few Grouse were offered, but the high rates asked caused very little busi ness to be done, at Bs. a 10s. per brace.

According to the Commerce, two amendments only will be introduced in the Bill. The Regent will be required to take the oath previous to his entering on the discharge of his functions, and to renew the oath afterwards before the Chambers, which are to be convoked, not in the three months, but in a delay of 40 days, after the demise of the King. Another steam-frigate of 450 horse power, the Ulloa, was launched at Cherbourg,on the 10th inst. A letter from Boulogne-of the 14th instant says : —" The Estafette, French mail-packet, arrived•here the day before yesterday from Dover, with despatches for the French Government. It is presumed that-they were very important, as the vessel was ordered to Boulogne instead of Calais, that the despatches might reach Paris two or three hours sooner." AI. de Cambis, a Conservative, has been elected Deputy for Avignon, in the room of M. de Mont faucon, deceased. Monday was kept a close holiday at Paris. Most of the newspapers contain notices that, on account of the holiday, they would not be published on Tuesday. A letter from Paris mentions, that among, the inci dents of that day was a procession of the wrecks of the old Imperial Guard to the Invalids, and to the column in the Place Vendome. Madrid letters of the Bth state that a commission of Senators, Deputies, and capitalists, met to examine two plans of loans. One was that of M. Misley, the other anonymous. These plans were to raise money on the 120,000,000 of reals remaining of the 160,000,000 of royal bonds. These two plans or offers were con sidered too severe. One proposed to n sive only 80,000,000 for the 120,000,000; the Othei• — dffered but 60,000,000, or one-half, the remainder to be paid in protested bills of the Government. On the Bth eight bargains for 672,000 reals were done in the Threes at 211 for cash, and 211 15-16 22 for sixty and forty days. In the Fives thirty bargains for 18,500,000 reals, at 29 for cash, 284 29-i -30 301 for sixty days, with the eleven Coupons ; and 201 I I with the three Coupons.

The Constitutional of that day publishes a memorial signed by the Colonel, the three Lieutenant-Cokalels, and all the officers of the regiment of Guadalajara, in which they reprove the sentiments lately expressed by some of their comrades, in favour of the rights of Christina to the Regency, and declare that the liberties and in stitutions of the country, the Constitutional Throne of Isabella 11., and the Regency of the Duke of Vic tory, have not more loyal and strenuous defenders than the officers of that corps. The quarrel between the Pope and the Russian Government is likely to become more serious. The Bishop of Podlachialnas been taken from his diocese and shut up in a cloister. The late public address of the Pope against the Emperor is known. Rut the Emperor persists in his order that no Catholic dig nitary shall correspond with Rome. New recruiting orders appear in Western Russia, according to the Augsburg Gazette. The defeat of the Russians in South•Daghestan is, according to it, true, but their loss did not exceed 40. officers and 600 soldiers. General Grabbe retains his command. Prince Dolgoroucki has been reduced to the rank of common soldier for killing Prince Jaschwill in a duel. Private letters from Alexandria of the 26th ult. state that the Egyptian fleet was preparing to quit the harbour, for the purpose of exercising its crews at sea. Said Pacha, the new Admiral, had arrived from Zavia at Alexandria, and all the seamen who had been employed in the Chiftliks of the Pacha, were to be on board in the course of five or six days. The Pacha was negotiating a loan of 1,500,000 talaris with some Armenian sarrafs in Constantinople, the pro ceeds of which were to be applied to the payment of the arrears due to the Government officers. The ca ravan from Sennaar had reached Siut, in Upper Egypt, bringing 1,000 slaves of both sexes, and 3,000 camels, laden with tamarinds, elephants' teeth, gold dust, gum, &c., from the interior of Africa. Another caravan, ,coming directly from Darfour, had arrived within eighteen days' march of Siut, with 3000 slaves and 6,000 camels, laden with various goods: The former had stopped at Siut until . the customs officers should 'repair thither from Cairo, to levy the usual duties, before it could proceed on its journey.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. 'I INSOLVE . T COURT—(THISDAY.) IN RE JOHN HIGGINS: : The insolvent was an engineer and machinist, car- • rying on an extensive business in Broad-wall, Lam beth. His petition was opposed by Mr. Woodruffe, ` on behalf of Messrs. Thomas and Saunders. He was supported by Messrs. Nicholls and Cooke.: It appeared that he contracted debts to the amount of 1,8341. in the space of a very short time. An exe cution was put in upon the premises, and the insolvent's son bought up much of the property, and continued to carry on the business as before, fulfilling several contracts. which the insolvent had entered into pre- il , vious to the execution. A docket was endea voured to be struck against him, 'but this having failed the insolvent defended the action brought against him by the opposing creditors. A meeting of creditors being called soon afterwards, .a sum of 1,4301. was found to be due to the firm, but it was alleged on the part of the insolyent that his son perfected the work on account of which this sum was due. Mr. WOODRUFFE, on behalf of the opposing cre ditors, contended that the Court was called upon to remand the insolvent fora very lengthened period, on the grounds,of having vexatiously defended the action brought by his clients; of having made away with property, to the loss of the body of his creditors ; and also for the concealment of certain property of which he was possessed at the time of his arrest. The Learned COMMISSIONER ordered the case to be adjourned, in order to serve some creditors whose names were omitted, and to file a new balance-sheet, with such amendments as he might be advised, as the present case was one upon which the Court felt bound to inflict a remand. POLICE INTiMLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—(THIS DAY.) William Batt, who had been remanded, having been charged with embezzling various sums of money, to the amount of 601., the property of his employer, Mr. Stephenson, of Fishmonger-alley, was brought up again this morning for re-examination. Mr: Humphreys appeared for the prisoner. The case has already been before the public. Seveei ral fresh witnesses were examined, who deposed to having paid the prisoner at different times sums of' money. Mr. Stephenson, the prisoner's em pl o yer, produced the book in which such sums ought to have been entered, but the items did not appear. The prisoner was committed for trial. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) • TORY PERSECUTION.—Two men, named William, Chillingworth and Joseph Palmer, were placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, charged with exhibiting in flammatory placards on Stepney-green, with intent. to commit a breach of the pence. • Police-constable Joseph Hares, 248 K deposed that he was on duty, about six o'clock la s t n i g ht, on Stepney-green, when he met the prisoner Chillingworth carrying a board with the inflammatory placard re ferred to upon it. (The placard was produced in Court, and was thus worded—" Awful State of the country. A public meeting will be held on Tues., day; August 16th, on Stepney-green, and on Thurs day, August 18th, on Islington-green, to take into consideration the conduct o f th e authorities in violently assaulting and massacring an unarmed Iv' pulace, whose only crime was want of food. English men, attend in your thousands, and show your svol pathy with your brethren in the north, and your'de testation of tyranny. Chair to be taken at seven o'clock.—Stutter, printer, 3 and 4, Church-row', Bet linal-green .") Witness continued—Said that he was employed 11 a man whom he did not know to carry the board and placard, and he was promised half-a-crown for hi s day's work. William Shaw gave the same account of the pri soner Palmer. Francis Carney was similarly charged with exhi biting a like placard last night in High-street, South. wark, and gave the same account of his being efir ployed. They all asserted that they had no idea that theY Were acting illegally. Mr. JARDINE discharged them, at the same time saying it was hardly possible to suppose that they were entirely innocent of the nature of the /3 1acard , and each of them was ordered to enter into his own recognizances, in the sum of 101., to keep the peac e and be of good behaviour for two months, and on $ repetition of the offence to be immediately taken up. The prisoners entered into the req u i re d recogai zances and were discharged. Police Sergeant M 2 then applied for a warrant against a respectable shopkeeper in the Borough, for exhibiting similar placards in his window. Mr. JARDINE granted a summons. Summonses were likewise granted against two shopkeepers in the parish of St. Pancras, for a s;milat offence. THE LADY THlEF.—Henry ,Dickson, who had been -remanded from Monday, was again placeft,ktt! , f Were given at length in The_ Sun of Monday. po liceman .A 21 stated that some of the property had been identified, but no one could say whether any of it had been stolen or purchased. Mr. Jardine said under these circumstances he should discharge the prisoner. Dickson, who was very respectably attired, and , was weeping all the time, then left the Court. UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.) A well-dressed young woman, who refused to gill her name, or any account of herself, was brought uPf having been found in the streets with a pistol in her possession. Policeman, 29 M, stated that he saw the defendant between five and six o'clock that morning in High' street, with the muzzle of a pistol protruding fro beneath her shawl. Suspecting that sh e meditate o some mischief, he stopped her ; hut, to his inquiries as to who she' was, or where she was going, she refused to give the least information on the subject. lie , therefore, took her into custody. The prisoner persevered in maintaining the mos t t complete silence respecting her intentions, upo n which The MAGISTRATE said that, under the circouv stances, he should not set her at large until some in' quiries were made. respecting her. A fashionably-dressed man, who refused to gib his name, but who is suspected to belong to the " Swell Mob," was charged with cutting the pocket pf a Mrs. May, in Vauxhall-gardens, on the preced ing night. The complainant said, that while she was _witnessing the horsemanship in the Rotunda at the garden, th, e prisoner, who stood close to her, cut her pocket and robbed her of 10s. 6d. The complainant's evidence was confirmed by policeman, who said that he saw the prisoner lift up her gown at the moment she was robbed. The prisoner said that he should not give his name until he had the advice of a professional man, for IA bleb purpose he was remanded. IPSWICH ELECTION. CLOSE OF THE POLL.
