Coburg Gotha, took their accustomed early walk in the forenoon. The Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal were taken out as usual.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL Comm—This morning, these sessions commence at the Justice-hall in the Old Bailey at ten o'clock, being the 94th, and 10th during the pre sent Mayoralty. An unusually long period has inter vened since the Court adjourned in the early part of last kontli, in consequence of which the present calendar is iOVonly very heavy, in a numerical point of view, but it contains also an entry of crimes of fearful magnitude. Among the offences charged are murder, manslaughter. . gutting and wounding, and other grievous offences against the person ; burglary, highway-robbery, forgery, housebreaking, horse-stealing, and other crimes which Were formerly punishable by death. There are, as Usual, a vast number of domestic servants and clerks charged with stealing and embezzling the property of - their employers. Beyond these, there are several per lons charged with misdemeanours of a serious nature, Some of %% horn are at large on heavy bail ; and many are under a course of examination, who will be added to the Present committals. There are several cases which were 'Postponed at the last Sessions, and of the number are 'the person who made the last attack on the Queen, and a clerk to the firm of Morrison and Co., of Fore-street, Who stands charged with an extensive robbery ; these are expected to come on on Wednesday. It is conjec tured that the Court will be occupied at least ten days. Lord Abinger, according to the rota, will be the presid jug Judge. THE OFFICE OF HIGH BAILIFF OF SOUTHWARK ---As it has been very confidently stated in the City that 'Mr. Harvey, the Commissioner of the City Police, will be appointed High Bailiff of Southwark, several candi dates have already started for the office of Commissioner 'of the City Police. The gentlemen whose names are • given, according to the form in which they appear to be With the Corporation, are as follows:—Captain .King made, Governor of Bridewell, a gentleman introduced to 'the notice of the members of the Corporation by the Most eminent military men in the kingdom, under whom Ihe Captain fought through the Peninsular war; Colonel 'Campbell, Colonel Angelo, Colonel Gaunt, and Major- General Sir Burgess Carnac. These candidates are, we , are told, all canvassing, but the Members of the Corpo ration are very tardy in making promises. Twenty-seven rioters were sent off yesterday after noon, at two o'clock, to York Castle, in two caravans, es corted by a company of the 17th Lancers : they went by w a y of Wetherby.—Leeds Mercury of Saturday. THE MURDER AT SWANSEA.—On Wednesday Morning the coroner's inquest was resumed at the Town hull, and evidence was brought forward, which seems to how that the barbarous outrage was premeditated. By the evidence of a young man, it appears that he, toge • tier with the five murderers, were drinking together at public-house called the Rising Sun, and that they left about twelve o'clock on Monday night. Soon after he stated the whole six again met at the house of Davies, one of the men implicated, but he denied that they met there by, appointment. It would appear that Davies, at whose house they met, was the instigator of the whole affair, simply because the deceased and some other Irish men had undertaken to work under price. After a very lengthened inquiry, the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful murder" against the five prisoners, whose names ar e —William Davies, William Thomas, David Rees, John Evans, and John Lewis—all natives of Swansea and the neighbourhood. They heard the verdict with the greatest indifference. The name of the unfortunate deceased was John Bowling. BATLEY.—On Tuesday morning last, about nine o'clock, the mill belonging to John Burnley and Son, was besieged by four or five thousand persons, under the guidance of a leader, who insisted upon the works being stopped immediately. Mr. Burnley told him he had already done so, and given orders for all the hands to turn out. The stranger then inquired if the plug was pulled out of the boiler ? "No," replied Mr. Burnley, " it is not, but if you insist upon it, I will order the men to put it out to satisfy you." "I do insist upon it," said the stranger. "Then," said Mr. 8., "I will order it to be taken out immediately, but when will you allow us to go on again." " When the Charter becomes the law of the land," was the reply.—Leeds Times. PRINCE OEOWGE.—This gallant young soldier, we understand, has displayed great eagerness to engage with the people during the past week. His Royal Highness is a young soldier, and has not yet " fleshed his maiden sword," which may probably account for his enthusiasm. On Tuesday, our Member, Mr. W. Beckett, had great difficulty in persuading his Royal Highness not to offer - forcible resistance to any numbers of people which might be disposed to enter the town. Mr. Beckett combatted the gallant notions of the Prince, we believe successfully. On Wednesday, Prince George made his appear ance in full dress in Camp-field, Holbeck, where the Riot Act was read to a few straggling people, and Prince George drew his sword, and waved it about' with great gallantry. The Prince talked a great deal also, in very bold and decided language, declaring his determination to resist the mob in their attempts to stop the mills. While Prince George was speaking, with his sword th us drawn, and the two pieces of artillery pointed in the direction of the crowd, a few lads got into Messrs. Titley, Tatham, and Walker's engine -house, and pulled the plugs out, on which the works were immediately stopped. The crowd laughed, but Prince George was very angry. However, he gal lantly drew off his body of troops to the Court-house, without having achieved any very decided victory. On the following day, General Brotherton assumed the command, so that Prince George's laurels may yet be in store for him.—Leeds Times. A. PAID AGENT OT THE TORIES EXCITING THE POPULACE TO RIOT AND TuDIULT.—Last Monday evening the Rev. J. Smithson, a paid Tory agent, was busily engaged in haranguing the people congregated in Briggate, near the end of Boar-lane. In the course of his speech, he stated that machinery was the chief cause of all the distress and misery that prevails throughout the manufacturing districts, and that the working classes ' could never again be prosperous and happy until this monster evil was removed. In all probability this person is partially supported by subscriptions from our Tory Magistracy, therefore they are the cause of such per nicious doctrines being promulgated. Who can wonder at the riots and destruction of property that have taken place when such men are allowed to address such lan guage to the people in the public streets, at the very time--when the working classes are goaded to despera tion by the cries of their wives and children when they are famishing for bread ? No doubt the Tories are the authors-of all the riots and disturbances that have taken I place, and in order to screen themselves they wish to throw the whole of the blame on the Anti-Corn-law League.—Leeds Times. We. have been for some days aware of the reports so prevalent of the discovery of an extensive system of fraud in the Customs' Department. A morning paper having noticed the fact, we can have no delicacy in stating that that well authenticated rumour involves seven or eight officers of the department, called landing waiters, in the charge. We may further add, that the failure of silk merchants iu the City led to the discovery—certain entries in the books of the bankrupts having come under the notice of the assignees were immediately communi cated to the proper authorities. We shall, for the pre sent, forbear, saying more than that the whole subject is under the consideration of the Commissioners of Cus toms; and that our confidence in the intelligence and in tegrity - of the body of gentlemen who compose that Board maybe safely taken by . the public as a guarantee that strict justice will be done in the matter. FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL. BRUSSELS ( Am. 18.—The Prince of Leiningen has just arrived at Brussels. The Prince and Princess of Saxe Gotha, coming front Ostend, arrived this..clay at the Palace of Bru4sels. Their Majesties the King and Queen, in deep affliction for the death of the Duke of Orleans, do not yet receive visitors at Lacken. The King came after dinner to Brussels to see his nephew and niece. Yesterday the Minister of War reviewed all the troops of the garrison. It was observed that many soldiers were taken ill in cpnsequence•of exbessive heat. Viscount de St. Aignan, Prefet of the Department of the North, is_kfiew at Brussels, in order to prepare the removal of difficulties which may arise when the two sections of the iron railway from Valenciennes to Quiveram, and from Lille to Mouseron, are opened to the public. A:: conference will shortly be held at Lille, where Belgian Commissioners are expected. M. de Rumigny, the French Ambassador in Belgium, will be one of the members of this conference. There is reason to hop&that the remaining difficulties will be soon removed. BRUSSELS, A U GUST 19.—The Journal du Com merce d' Anvers has the following article :—" The Wilberforce steamer, which, according to thg Royal decree concerning the steam-boats, could only depart on Tuesday, kept to its usual day, and left on Wed nesday for • Londgi with two carriages and 70 passen gers ; among the latter were Lord Fitzgerald, Sir Edward Parry, and the Rev. Mr. Hankinson. We learn that the steamer has paid to the agent of the Government of 'the Netherlands the Scheldt toll, under a protest against the Belgian Custom-house, the opposition being founded on the fact that the re imbursement of this toll is decreed by the Legisla tive Chambers without any restriction, and that the Government has...no right to violate this principle without a law." GOTHA, AUGUST 12.—A dreadful, fire broke out yesterday in the village of Tanabach ; the flames were driven by the wind, and spread with such rapidity, that all exertions:•to check them were in vain. Of 320 houses, 142 were burned, besides the church and the buildings attached to it. By this calamity, 1,400 persons have lost their all. MONZINGEN ON • THE NARE, AUG. 13.—Yester day wine was drank in the house of M. Fuak, made this year from the produce of his own vineyard. It was excellent. In general we expect that the vintage 111 be of a superior quality, for the weather which we have had for some weeks past has contributed to the early ripening of the grape. We remember that in the remarkable year 1811, the first wine was tried a week later, and this was considered something very extraordinary. FRANKFORT, AUG. 15.—The speculators in our wine district, expecting a very productive year, flat tered themselves that the meeting of the Deputies of the Customs Union at Stutgard would comply with their wishes, expressed in a petition, and impose a very heavy duty on the importation of French wines. We learn, however, that this petition has not had the desired effect, the Deputies being resolved not to enter upon a course that might lead to prohibition and reprisals, the consequences of which would be very injurious.

For some time past, private investigations by the borough Magistrates, have been going on with respect to the circumotances attending the loss of a cheque for 1101. 10s. 12d., from the Custom-house. It ap pears that on the 7th of July a cheque for that amount, drawn on Messrs. Maddisons, was paid into the Custom-house, by Messrs. Forders, spirit merchants, and' in the course of business handed over to Mr. Graves, of that establishment. The following day Mr. Graves missed the cheque, and from the hurry. of business at the time it was paid, he did not recollect whether he had put the cheque into the cash-box, or had accidentally laid it on hia desk. An immediate inquiry was made at Messrs. Maddison's bank, when it was found the cheque had been presented im mediately after the opening of the bank in the morning, br - a young man named Job Earle, a porter at the Vine Inn, and cashed by lir. Maddison with 25 five-pound notes, 5 sovereigns, and 10 shilling s and 11 pence. arle had left the town, and from that time to this the most active exertions have been made by P. S. Terry, - - who, on Wednesday last, in conse quence of , infOrmation he had obtained, proceeded to Havre, and there with the assistance of two of the French police, apprehended Earle, and got him on board the steam vessel and brought him over to Southampton. On the voyage, the prisoner, without any promise or inducement, made the following statement :—He said he went out one morning to fill his buckets with water, and saw the old man who sweeps the Long Room of".the Custom-house come down, and empty a tub of some rubbish in which were some pieces of paper. B r.e (the prisoner) went and searched amongst it for son ie pieces of string, and amongst the papers he found a cheque. He took it to the Vine, and showed it to the nook, who could read better than he could, and she told him it was not worth anything. After he had 11:161 his breakfast he went up to Maddison's bank with the cheque, and Mr. Maddison paid him the money Witl lout a word. He gave one of the Si. notes to his fathe r and two others to his sister-in-law, and then went off to Bristol. Afterwards he went to Rouen, in. :France. About a fortnight back he got tipsy at the house of a man named Fitzpatrick, at Rouen, ai ad during the night he h was robbed of sixteen of the Si. notes and some Frenc silver. The prisoner was fully - committed to take his trial for the felony.— Hampshire Independent. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

LLOYDS' S-HIPPING -- ----- LONDON AND DOVER RAILWAY. I The intended opening of the line as far as Head- . corn at an early day, and afterwards, before the end of this year, iis continuation to Ashford, has al ready produced its effect upon the , value of the tolls arising on the. turnpike road for the intermediate distance betw eet the latter placte and Dover, and even on the branch road from Folkestone to Barham. oin Wednesday the 17th, the Trustees of the Dover and Sandgate Road, .and of the Folkestone and Barham Road, met at the Guild hall, in Pc ,lkestone, pursuant to advertisoinent, to offer the ' tolls on those roads to public competi," - ion, which were then let at the following rates, viz. :- - Folkestone Hill Gate, which was let last year for 3041., is rJ .Av let for 428/. ; Sandgato Gate, which last year prod' aced 2961., is now let for 4201.; Uphill Gate (Barham. Road), let last year for 1201., now for 1701. ; Denton G Ate (Barham Road), let last year for 1221., this ye. ar :for 160/. There were very many bidders, and tae competition was exceedingly brisk. The incre.Ase on the two gates between Dover and Hythe, viz., Folkestone Ilia and Sandgate Gates, was in each case exactly the came (1241.) ; but we have a strong impression that the lessee will, even at that increase, nave a me (re profitable speculation than his prede. cessor. 'e should not have been surprised if double the last y( 3ar's rents had been given for these two gates ; for there can be no doubt that on the opening of the *Lib ray to Ashford, the great ,majority of the traffic bet iveen the Continent, Dover, and London, will pass v ia. Dwyer and Ashford, by the railway be ' tween the lattA place and the metropolis.—Dover Chronicle.

The un clouded sun, and the high temperature, cooled the ardour of many ; and, unlike most previous occasions, a few hours' morning shooting satisfied most sportsmen, unless upon some highly preserved and well stocked grounds. The general success has, we are happy to say, been better than appearances some weeks ago indicated ; in proof of which we may mention that yesterday morning 95 boxes passed through Perth for the south, 35 of which were for the London steamer. Among the crack guns, the highest return for the first day we have heard was that of the Hon. Fox Mettle, who bagged 84 brace aeoginloch, at the head of Strathbraan. Sir P. M. - Thripeland, at Balnaguard, killed 61* brace of grouse, and 5 mountain hares ; Mr. Butter, of Faskally, 56 brace, and Sir John Mackenzie, 50, in the moors of Glentruim. The results from the Inverness shire sid are not so good ; individual parties at Dalwhinnie onl begged each from 15 to 30 brace, which has been about he daily average since.—Perthshire Courier. Efforts are as indispensable as desires. The globe is not to be circumnavigated by one wind. We should never do nothing. "It is better to wear out. than to rust out," says Bishop Cumberland.

EMIGRATION FROM THE CLYDE.—The number of emigrants who have sailed from the ports of Glasgow, Greenock, and Port-Glasgow, during the first six months of the present year, amounts to 7,707. A vast number of the above belonged to the very poorest class of ope ratives, who have been assisted to emigrate either by the public bounty, or by the charitable aid afforded by those societies into which they had associated themselves. —Glasgow Chronicle. In virtue of a convention signed on the 9th May last, and which came into force on the 6th inst., between France and the Two Sicilies, letters with patterns, jour nals, and printed books, may be sent post-paid between the two kingdoms in the same manner as they have hitherto been within the interior of France. Sir James Graham was in attendance at the Home office, Whitehall, till eleven o'clock on Friday night, together with the Hon. Manners Sutton, and the other authorities. Accounts of the state of the metro polis were forwarded throughout the evening, from the different police districts. .The military autho rities were also in communication with Sir James. This day the Attorney and Solicitor-General were in attendance at the Home-office. DEATH OF WILLIAM MAGINN, ESQ., LL.D.— With deep regret we have to record the death of Dr. Ma ginn, on Saturday, at his residence,Walton-upon -Thames. I.)r. Maginn was in his 49th year, and for the last year and upwards suffered from confirmed consumption. He has left a widow and three children, we fear without any provision but the claim of the lamented deceased upon the gratitude of the country, and more espe cially of the wealthy and high-minded Conservative party. That claim is, however, a strong one ; for more than twenty years Dr. Maginn laboured for the Conser vative cause without relaxation, and to the support of that cause he brought more learning, more genius, and more zeal, than any other man connected with the public Press during the same period. MANCHESTER, AUGUST 20.—THE DISTURB ANCES.—The fooli!li and fruitless interruption of the industry of this neighbourhood, which has caused so much alarm throughout the country, is evidently drawing towards a close ; and, if we are not greatly deceived by existing appearances, the next three or four days will witness a general resutnp tion of labour in this town, which must necessarily be followed, in a very short time, by a similar resump tion throughout the surrounding district.—Manchester Guardian. The opinion of the Faculty, the approval of the fair sex, and the general patronage of the public, have established the preparations offered by Messrs. Rowland and Son as the most valuable and indispensable requi sites for the toilet yet submitted to the world. At this peculiar season, when the " skyey influences" are pecu liarly powerful, and often noxious to the complexions of ladies, we would particularly recommend Rowland's invaluable Kalydor, as the most balmy, mild, and effica cious safeguard for this purpose yet offered to the public. The fortunate discovery of this now celebrated prepa ration, and the ample proof of its virtues afforded by long experience, evince that it is admirably adaped to beautify and preserve the skin fresh and unimpaired, amid the most trying vicissitudes of the season and the weather. FIRE ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—On Wednesday afternoon .the luggage in a van, which was placed next to the tender of the engine affixed to the five o'clock train, from Paddington, caught fire, in conse quence of a lighted cinder flying from the furnace when about two miles on the London side of West Drayton. Several of the packages were immediately ignited. The necessary assistance being near, the packages . were promptly removed, and a good supply of water prevented further destruction. . FEMALE ROWERS.—The female rowers of Saltash, who have acquired such laurels at Portsmouth, Ply mouth, and Devonport, left Southampton in the Grand Turk to proceed to Havre regatta, last week, in order to contest for a prize for amateur rowers, open to all the world. They were most politely received by the Com mittee, the Mayor of Havre himself shaking hands with their, and drinking their healths in champagne. But the Frenchmen declined the proposed encounter on even terms ; and at length it was arranged that a match should take place between the Glanvillites and the Eng lish boatmen, and a subscription was entered into by the Committee for a prize to be contended for by the Amazonian champions with the Englishmen, and in a few minutes four hundred francs were forthcoming for the purpose. English rowers volunteered from the Grand Turk, the boats were manned, and womanned re spectively. The race, which was well contested on both sides, was soon begun and concluded, and, amid the cheers of 20,000 spectators, the Saltash women carries the day, and earned a new trophy on the bosom of the Seine. The successful Saltashers left the harbour amid renewed cheers at their success, and returned in the Brunswick to Plymouth, lauding the generous conduct of the French, and also speaking in grateful terms in uraise of the kindness ma.nifested towards them by 1 4 ,•iscombe Esq.

Or ' RATI ONS OF PEEL'S NEW CORN SCALE. — The duty on foreign wheat has advanced to-day, as antici os. per quarter, and duty at Bs. has been paid P tO te a d n ' ex to tent Oat will yield almost 700,0001. to the public revenue. This immense accumulation in the first place of corn in bond, enhancing the price to the pre judice of the consumer ; and then the effect, in the second place, of entering for home consumption so much as 1,000,000 quarters simultaneously on the very nick of harvest, to the great loss of the English farmer, forms a beautiful illustration of the " steady trade in corn," which the Premier boasted of as a sure consequence of his .modified sliding scale. It is not a whit better than the jumping scale. The industrious classes are praised by their rulers for their " patience" so long as they lie down and starve quietly by the roadside, mumbling out with their last breath, " Confidence in my Government;" but so soon as hunger and want drive them to deeds of violence they are shot.—Morning Chronicle. • • The landlord of a line of cottages situated in the neighbourhood of Walworth, inhabited by journeymen mechanics, as weekly tenants, has raised their rents 4d. per week, as the landlord says, tc. enak.le him to pay the Income-tax without loss, as the amount of all taxes was to be included iu their weekly rent.

The following is a translation of an important de spatch, addressed by Abdullah Bey, Governor of Sulimania, in answer to the Ottoman Consul at Tabriz : "I received with pleasure your letter, demanding information respecting the circumstances which have occurred between the Governor-General of Kur distan and me, as well as those which may have pro voked the war. You desire to know where a conflict has taken place, the position of the two armies, and which took the iniative in combating. The' following is a faithful report : " Riza Kouli Khan, Gov ernor -General of the pro vince of Sindizt, advanced at the head of a consider able army, on the frontiers of Chehri Zor, with the intention of installing Mahmoud Pacha in the go vernment of Sulimania. H e h as raised the inhabi tants of the country against the authorities, taken the towns of Gulgabre and Albidge, the residences of the authorities of Chehri Zor. He also took Kizeldjia, Merre, and Alanzial, the most important villages of this province, appointing his followers to be Governors therein. " At the aspect of such an invasion of the Otto ilatghe lh of Kurdistan, territory by foreign hosts, obliged to quit the town of Sulimania, and I went to Chehri Zor to defend the I was reluctantly ' country. On my arrival there I sent to Riza Kouli Khan, the Hadgi Ahme d Aga, and the Hadgi Hussein Aga, the same that were s ent here by the Pacha of Bagdad, to notify to him that such acts of aggression were a flagrant viola tion of treaties ; I requested to know if he was authorised by his Government. I was fully resolved to take mea sures, in consequence of his answers. But Riza Kouli Khan paid no attention to my message. He m arched on, thinking to impose upon me by the num ber of his troops . " He attacked and took one of the points of the Purdjimin, and set up his ed,dalys,hoping always that proceeded to Kizeldjia, ttlipellnwe'tnsr.ethlNa t aortrh i i s ivnedg e a f l rin l i e g d htther en e the Persians woul d di scontinue their advances.

He also sent Koubad Bey with from 700 t 0.1,000 men, to lie in ambuscade in the neighb ourin g mo untai ns, to attack our arm y from behind, and cut off the road. "This day Riza Kouli Khan appeared in presence of our army, at the head of 5,000 cavalry and a bat talion of regular infantry, with the intention to fight. The combat began ; the enemy attacked first, and I thought fit to repulse him, which I did, and in a quarter of an hour put the Persian army to the rout. The combat took place on our territory ; I pursued him a certain distance, but did not enter his territory, to avoid the reproaches of the Impel ial Ministry. " Before the commencement of the battle I had ordered my soldiers not to pass the enemy's frontier. I passed that night on the field of battle, resolved the next day at sunrise to go and rescue Sulimania from the hands of Amanoullah Khan and Mahmoud. But these chiefs, informed of my coming, pillaged Suli mania and the villages around. They carried off the flocks of sheep and goats belonging to the chiefs of tribes, as well as many asses and horses. They brought them off by the road of Bana to Sikez and Suerdeit. " I did not think fit to pursue them, as it . would bring me beyond their frontier, lest I should meet with disapprobation. The enemy pillaged all the country through which he passed, and slew several men and women who resisted. He carried away 30 0 families to Bana. I found the tents of Sulim ania pil laged and in ruin s. The misfort unes infl icted b y Riza, ,d. 1 Khouli Khan are b e y ond all expression. NOCTURNAL MEETINGS OF CHARTISTS.

In the communication of our Frankfort corre spondent, will be found the startling announcement that a plot was formed by the nobles of Russia to assassinate the Emperor and • the King of Prussia, on occasion of the recent visit of the latter to St. Petersburgh. This is the first intimation of such a conspiracy which has yet been published ; but we are not therefore inclined to view the statement as unfounded. We know our correspondent to be intel ligent and active, and to have access to the best sources of information ; and from the jealous secresy main tained on all such subjects in Russia, itis highly proba ble that the first intelligence of the plot would be given to the world by some members of the Prussian Court. For details, we must refer to the communication itself. The emancipation of the serfs has, it is known, excited great dissatisfaction among several of the most powerful families of the empire; and the whole narrative of the projected assassination, horrible as it is, is too much in accordance with other authentic records of Russian conspiracy to excite disbelief on the score of its atrocity. Our correspondent writes with great confidence, and, we are sure, would not make so extraordinary a statement on light grounds. " All England will be startled and horrified at this announcement. It is but too true. It comes from a source which defies contradiction. The grand day of the nuptial jubilee at St. Petersburgh had nearly proved a day of deep and dreadful mourning. Under Divine Providence, the terrible calamity was averted only by the wonderful presence of mind of the King of Prussia. From the very first moment that the Emperor of Russia resolved upon pro mulgating the ukase which has redeemed millions of slaves from the chains of their tyrants, the no bles became enraged against him to the utmost pitch of exasperation, and entered into a dark and widely-spread conspiracy to take his life upon the very first convenient opportunity that might present itself. Believing that the emancipation of the serfs had been earnestly suggested and recommended to the Emperor by the King of Prussia, they determined that the latter great and good monarch should perish at the same moment with their sovereign. With the fixed and fell purpose of carrying their atrocious project into execution, they waited with impatience for the hour which was to bring both menarchs together, amidst the acclamation of hundreds of thou sands. In the meantime the Emperor received pri vate information of their diabolical design, but con cealing it from his illustrious brother-in-law, he or dered that the chiefs of the conspiracy should be instantly seized and sent off to Siberia. His orders were promptly executed, but this only served to increase the number of murderous villains who had previously doomed him to death, and decided that he ought never to have been permitted to live unless as the passive instrument of their will. Looking forward to the 25th of July (0. S.) as their Ides of March, they prepared to muster in overwhelm ing numbers on that day, caring not whether they deluged the streets of St. Petersburgh with blood, pro vided they shed the blood of their intended victims. The signal for slaughter was to be given at a late hour of the day, when all their forces should have assembled. Meanwhile the Emperor being accurately informed of all their proceedings and machinations throughout his Eu ropean dominions, adopted every possible precau tion to guard against danger so awfully imminent. He ordered to the capital all those troops on whose fidelity he thought he could most rely, and removed to a considerable distance those whom he distrusted. He quadrupled the number of his body guards, selecting his augmentation from corps of tried and devoted loyalty. By this time the King of Prussia was on his way to St. Peters burgh ; and scarcely had his Majesty landed on the shores of the Neva, when he could perceive, from his reception, the envenomed feelings of prejudice and hatred which the nobles had excited against him. Has tening on to the palace of Peterhof with all possible speed, he resolved to get back to his own country with as little delay as decency would permit, being impa tiently anxious to escape from a rude, barbarous, and inhospitable land. There is no doubt whatever that, fearing the worst, he was prepared to be continually upon his guard. The interchange of domestic and affectionate regards, between him and the members of the Imperial family, was short and abrupt on this ac count. But it was deemed politic that, at any risks, a public demonstration of family union and family happi ness should be made upon a scale of unprecedented grandeur. The Prussian Monarch, however, was im movably resolved that the time which his part in the pageant was to occupy should not exceed one short hour! Leaving the Palace of Peterhof amidst compact masses of faithful guards, both cavalry and infantry, their imperial and royal Majesties arrived in the great square of St. Petersburgh at a much earlier hour than those who were intent upon their destruction were led to expect. The admirable foresight of the King of Prussia thus disconcerted all the plans of the conspirators; for while they thought the grand scenes of the day were only about to commence, they were nearly all over. The monarchs embraced each other in the midst of the grand square with evident emotion — the troops presenting arms, and peals of artillery re sounding in all directions, as well from the land side as from the shipping i n the eva. The Guards were then put through some few evolutions, but in no instance so as to interfere with the compactness of their lines, and i mm ediately afterwards their Maj e st ies returned in safety to Peterhof, which was in all respects converted into a strong garrison, while every spot of ground around it was covered with the Imperial Guards, and the stanchest troops of the line occupied all the principal streets of St. Petersburgh. In the meantime as the hour for giving the signal approached, the conspirators were see advancing in separate de tachments towards the spot where they were to act, a vast united host ; but the force opposed to them being overwhelming, they were obliged to disperse in various directions ; not, however, before they gave convincing proofs that among the Russian nobles and their adherents are to be found thousands of the most ferocious and blood-thirsty savages in the uni verse. Thus ended the Grand Jubilee of the Impe rial Marriage ! ! Having providentially escaped from the hands of noble assassins, the King of Prussia lost not a moment in making arrangements for his final departure from their abominable country. He conferred several marks of distinguished favour on the AUG. 12. Dream, G. Bentinck, Esq., from Teign mouth ; Ganymede, J. H. W. P. S. Pigott, Esq., from the Western ports ; Cynthia, R.

TUESDAY, AUG. 16.—The Royal Yacht Squadron Ball was more numerously attended than for some years past, upwards of 270 fashionables being present, not including two gentlemen of the " swell mob," who by some means got admission. They had not, bean in the room twenty minutes when they went to work, but made a bad hit. The gentleman being a county Magistrate, was down on them in a moment. The younger of the two, Mr. Charles Hawkins, had his hand drawn into Mr. Farnell's coat-pocket ; in drawing it out again, his finger being crooked,brought out with it that gentleman s purse with fifteen so vereigns in it, and Mr. Thomas Howard had it in an instant afterwards, and in the next Mr. F. had his iron hands on both these worthies. The police were called in, and the parties searched. Besides the purse and contents were found on one, in a piece of brown paper, 15 sovereigns, also about 21. in silver, a lady's gold watch, with gold chain, and several valuable gold rings ; on the other about 21. They were taken off to Newport, and yesterday, on the evidence of Mr. Farnell and Mr. Lloyd, fully committed.

The town was full of company, every house crowded, and there were thousands to witness the sport, which was first rate. After the yachts were started, five fine yawls sailed for the town purse. This match was no sooner decided than the rowing snatches commenced, and were continued until evening. The duck race was excellent—the duck a most impudent one, but not to be caught. There was a brilliant display of fire works afloat and on shore. The yachts were beautifully lighted up; the fixed pieces on the parade were splendid.

Peel would arrive with the London steam ship at this port last night. In consequence of this re port, upwards of 500 persons lined the quay before the arrival of the steamer at the entrance to the harbour. Unfortunately, and we believe on account of the disturbed state of Lancashire, the Right Hon. Baronet did not make his appearance, his presence being required in London to guide the Home Secretary by his advice. We understand that apartments were taken for Sir Robert and suite in an hotel in town, and that the illustrious Leader of the House of Commons intended to have pro ceeded hence on a visit to Colonelßaillie, Inverness-shire.

THE DISTURBANCES IN THE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS, MANCHESTER, Friday Morning, 11 o'clock. A slight commotion was produced last night in the neighbourhood of Oldham-road, by a detachment of cavalry coming into the town with 43 prisoners whom they had apprehended at Clayton, a village four miles from Manchester. A large mob had as sembled there in the morning, and were making an attack upon the dye-works of Messrs. Hulme. The cavalry, who were patrolling the roads from Ashton towards Oldham, arrived very opportunely, and, charging the mob, took nearly 100 prisoners. On their arrival in the Oldham-road there was a great disposition to rescue, on which a detachment of the 58th Regiment and 50 special constables and police from the Town-hall were despatched, and under this stronger escort they were removed to the New Bailey this morning. Superintendent Sawley, of the Manchester police, who has just returned from the York assizes informs me that the whole of th a t di s t r i c t i s grea tly disturbed. The people are seen everywhere lying about the fields, and no employment is followed. We publish the following rules and regulations of the Association, for which we are indebted to the politeness of the Editor of the Manchester Chronicle.

Universal Suffrage.—To obtain for each man of 21 years of age, the right of voting for representa tives to serve in the Commons' House of Parliament. "2.

"4. No Property Qualification.—That every elector shall be eligible to be elected. " 5. The Ballot.—That the right of voting for a representative shall be exercised secretly by ballot. "6. Payment of Members.—That each representa tive of the people shall be paid for his services. "It will be the duty of the Society to adopt all legal means by which these objects may be promoted." The intelligence received from the neighbouring towns is not yet of so cheering a character. The sus pension of labour system still prevails among them, but the breaking up of the system by the operatives of Manchester must have its effect upon those towns as soon as the vagabond bands of rioters are forced to disperse. Accounts from Preston state that the hands of one of the mills belonging to Messrs. Francis had again turned out last night for an advance of wages. The workmen employed in two other mills are expected to strike this morning. At llaslingden, a town situate a few miles from Manchester, much alarm was created by the appear ance of a mob of persons, who entered the town last night. The number of these rioters amounted to about 10,000 ; and they took meat, drink, and money from the shopkeepers. An express was sent for mili tary aid to the General of the district, at Manchester, but none could be spared, the state of this town re quiring the large force at the disposal of the authori ties to be kept up. This morning a company of Rifles was despatched to Rochdale and the neighbourhood, in consequence of a message to the Major-General that riots were likely to take place. At Blackburn all remains quiet, but the mills are still at a stand. The following extract from a letter, giving an ac count of the proceedings of the lawless mob which visited West Oughton on Monday, is interesting, though the circumstances are partly known already, as it affords a striking proof of the intimidation exer cised over the peaceable and industrious operative : " You are probably aware that on Monday from 6,000 to 8,000 persons came as a mob through this village from Bolton, &c. Previous to coming here, they had stopped the collieries of Mr. Holton and Mr. 11 ood ward, as well as the stationary engine upon the line of the Bolton and Leigh Railway at Chequer bent. Their next step was my mill, which was stopped instanter by a party of them breaking the yard doors, and knocking the plugs out of the boilers. On their way they demanded bread, cheese, &c., from all the publicans and shopkeepers ; but without waiting for its being given them, they unceremoniously took it in a very threatening manner, which was truly alarming, and were also very desirous to commit their unlawful acts upon the private residences of respect able individuals, but were ordered to desist by parties mho appeared to have some control over them. I have not heard of any instance where they succeeded in getting ale or spirits, except at the Hulton Arms, in Hutton. They then proceeded to Hindley (but a party from 'Wigan had previously stopped the works there) still levying contributions as they went along, which in very few cases were refused. They re turned through the higher part of this village in the evening. Since then no kind of work has been re sumed, though very many are desirous to do so, but are threatened severely if they attempt it. They cer tainly would have done so this morning had not the new order' from the Chartists made its appearance on the afternoon of yesterday, by placards upon the walls." We have already given the resolutions of the mas ters' committee. We now give those of the power loom weavers, copied from a placard issued by their executive : " NOTICE FROM THE POWER-LOOM WEAVERS TO THEIR EMPLOYERS. " We, the Acting committee of the power-loom weavers of Manchester and Salford, chosen in public meeting assembled, deem it our duty to lay our reso lutions before our employers and the public generally. Ist. Resolved, that we, the power-loom weavers of Manchester and Salford, do not return to our work until we receive the same rate of wages that was paid in 1839 ; and, in the event that our masters do not comply with that just and reasonable demand, we will abide by the decision of the other trades generally, and with them. 2 d. That each master do pay the same for the same fabric of cloth ; and, further, that those masters who do not employ men in the weaving department do so in future."—[Then follows an ad dress, beginning, " Fellow-operatives," and the whole is signed, " Patrick Sinclair, Chairman ; Maurice Donovan, Secretary ;" but the bill is without date.] Another placard is addressed to the people of Man chester and the surrounding districts, of which the following is a copy : " Fellow-citizens,—Your Delegates are again at their post. Faithful to the trust you have reposed in us, we are determined to stand firm and united till we carry into full effect the resolution agreed to yes terday. The following resolution was carried unani mously :—‘ Resolved, That we recommend the trades of Manchester and the surrounding districts immedi ately to form Committees in their respective localities, to carry out the resolution we come to yesterday, with instructions to issue bills and give us credit until such time as the people resume work again. In the meantime, we most earnestly call on you to send in your contributions to the Executive Committee unani mously elected by the Delegates this morning assem bled. Time is precious. Decision and energy are most essentially necessary at the present moment ; for the future we shall be governed by events. A short time, we are confident, will prove this move ment is national. Rally round the .standard you hay raised ; stand firm, do your duty, and we will do ours. A. lIUTCHIN SON, Chairman.' " ONE WORD ABOUT THE CHARTER. " Fellow-workmen, —We all want the ' Charter.' Why ? For some practical end. I want it for my own benefit ; that I may get constant work and better wages. Will it answer that end ? If so, how ? Be cause it will stop ' Class Legislation: Granted ; but how that will give me constant work and good wages, I want to know, " There are two parties in the matter of wages— the payer of wages and the receiver of wages. Now, the question is, when the Charter is the law of the land, will the payer of wages have such confidence in the Government, as it will then be, as to go on working his mill ? If not, what am I, the receiver of wages, the better for the Charter ? , Will the mer chant also go on bringing cotton, and flax, and indigo, and dye-stuffs into the country, to be worked up ? Certainly, it may be said, for then everybody's just rights will be protected. True ; and we begin putting it in force by protecting our master's rights—shutting up their mills, and forbidding them to go towork at the peril of their lives and properties. WS!
