UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, -8, Waterlos-place, Pall-mall, London. DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED. This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since it commence ment in 1534. In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Share holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added 21. per Cent. per Annum, from the date of the policies to those par ties who had insured with Profits. The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scale, and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the Insurance is for life. The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence ment of the Company in March 1834, to the 31st December 1840, is as follows: Sum Assured. Time Assured. Sums added to Policy. £1,000... 6 Year! 10 Months £136 13 4 1,000 4 Years de 0 0 1,000 3 Years 6O 0 0 1,000 1 Year Every information will be afforded on application to the Resident Directors, Edward Boyd, Esq., and E. Lennox Boyd, Esq., of Ne. 8, Waterloo place, Pall-mall, London. Frederick Hale Thomson, Esq., Surgeon, 48, Berners-street, attends at the Office daily, about Half -past Two .'clock. ARGUS LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 39, THROGMORTON-STREET. BANK. EMPOWERED by SPECIAL ACT .4 PARLIAMENT THOMAS FARSCOMB, Esq., Alderman, Chairman. WILLIAM LEAF, Esq., Deputy Chairman. CONSULTING ACTUARY—Professor Hall, of King's College. Low Rates of Premium. In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the As sured have the security of the Company's income of upwards of £50,000 per annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating A'suranre Fund inve , ted in Government and other available securities, of considerably larger amount than the estimated liabilities of the Company. The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale com pstible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits. In Assurances for Advances of Money, as security for ebts or as a provision for a family, when the least present outlay is desirable, the varied and comprehensive tables of the Argus Office will be found particularly favourable to the Assured. A Board of Directors, with the Medical Officers, attend daily. E. RATES, Resident Director. A liberal commission to Solicitors and Aping: UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE OFFICE, 1. King William-street, London. The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is consistent with perfect security. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders; three-fourths to the former, and one •fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of profits took place ou the loth of May, 1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. nas declared on the current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841, when a similar reduction was again declared. . . The following table will show the operation of the reduction made by the Society:— Age when Date of Policy Policy. WILB issued. Reduced Sum Assured. Original Annualßeduction Premium Premium. payable in 1841. May 1835. £l,OOO 1,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 419 6 $ 411 12 01 47 14 8 gl 24 8 4 14 13 9 15 4 31 10 0 IS 18 12 12 0 42 15 0 25 13 11 17 2 0 66 11 8 39 19 0 26 12 II This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate benefit to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable bonus by effecting a new policy. Policies are granted in London, and by resident Committees at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on India risks, at very ad vantageous rates, calculated from extensive data and tables, ex clusively in the possession of this Society,to show the true risk of life dur;ng residence in India, and after retirement from foreign service. By order of the Board, DAVID JONES, Actuary. • immediate causes of this sudden attack, this meeting find no difficulty in deciding that the remote, all powerful, and all-producing cause, has been class le gislation, which, by promoting class interest at the ex pense of the general interest, has at length produced such extensive exhaustion of the resonrces •of •the whole body, that general pressure has produced gene ral distress. Class is set against class, and man against man, by the sectional and individual endea vour Lo escape from the general distress." He per fectly coincided with everything contained in that re solution. He knew that the evils of the country were attributable to class legislation and to that . alone.— (Loud cheers.) .That was no new opinion or his— it was no new opinion of the meeting; and he had long warned the Government that their system of legislating for exclusive interests would produce what had now unhappily occurred.—(Cheers.) He was certain that that system could not long resist the enlightened efforts of the people to remove it.— (Cheers.) They however must remember that their enemies were abroad—(Hear, hear)—and that they would rejoice in nothing more than that the people should be exasperated into acts of violence; and their cause was to be gained by exhibiting such a front as he now was happy to see before him—(Cheers) — and by peace, firmness, perseverance, and order.— (Hear, hear.) Let there be no midnight meetings— (Hear). Let their meetings be in the face of, day ; for truth had nothing to fear, and the cause of truth was sure of success, when it was advocated by honest, tem perate, and zealous men.—(Hear.) The present system of class legislation could not be maintained otherwise than by the. people _giving to the present Government that power of employing military co l ercion forwhich they were watching. He hoped the effectors throughoiit 114'0*m—would ,do us the electors of Finsbury had done that evening, and give their fellow-countrymen an opportunity of expressing their opinions, .and making known their, wants, and their wrongs, in a calm, peaceable, and dispassionate mariner. Before he concluded, he would entreat the middle classes, and those-who possessed the franchise, to remember that a great number of their fellow countrymen were in prison, and that with respect to those, they . would be called upon to discharge a duty, which he hoped they would discharge in a reasonable, just, and becoming spirit.--(Loud cheers) Whilst he would urge them most earnestly never to cease in their legal and peaceable endeavours until the_ people were represented ; at the, same time, he hoped, nay, he had every confidence that they would not give their enemies any justification for calling them cowards on the one hand, or ruffians on the other.— (Cheers.) He concluded by moving the resolution he had read. Mr. FISHER seconded the resolution in a brief speech. The CHAIRMAN said that several gentlemen were desirous to addrdss the meeting, but as he knew they were all impatient to hear their worthy and approved Representative, he recommended that the movers and seconders of the other resolutions should content'them selves with barely performing that duty, without ad ding many observations of their own.—(Hear, hear, and great laughter.) The resolution was then put and carried by accla mation. • Mr. WEST then moved, and Mr. FINCH seconded, the third resolution, which was to the following ef fect :—" That this meeting haye , *no hope of remedy in the measures hitherto pursued. We see no hope of peace in the poor destroying factories, or the resi dences of the rich, because the owners give no greater wages than the demands of class legislation leave it in their power to give; nor do we see any hope of peace in the rich coercing the poor because they endeavour to avoid starvation. These only tend to aggravate evils which can only be remedied by the removal of class legislation, and therefore we recommend that a petition founded on these resolutions be presented to the Queen, praying that her Majesty be graciously pleased to convene the Parliament, and take means of securing to the people such a representation as will be in conformity - with the prayers of the petitions presented to the House of Commons last session, and which petitions were signed by millions of her Ma jesty's loyal subjects." The resolution having been put, several hands were held up against it, amidst vehement cries of " No more petition—we have had enough of that." It was carried, however, by a majority of many thousands to about twenty. The next resolution, to the effect, that the Chair man should sign the petition on behalf of the meeting, and that the Members for the Borough should be re quested to present it to her Majesty, was carried unanimously. Mr. SAVAGE then came forward to move a resolu tion, to the effect, that the thanks of the meeting be tendered to their excellent representative, Mr. Thos Duncombe—(Most vehement cheering)—for his in defatigable perseverance in the cause of popular liberty, and his readiness at all times to respond to the call of-his constituents.—(Cheers.) In proposing that resolution, he must observe' =that he had not voted for Mr. Dpncombe, but had always given his utmost labour to secure the return of their other re presentative.—(Some disapprobation, and cries of " Where is he now ?" followed by laughter.) But whenever he (Mr. Savage) had gone to apply to Mr. Duncombe for anything likely to serve the cause of the people in Parliament, he found that that gentleman was entitled to the gratitude of his . constituents, and he regretted that he did not know Mr. Duncombe's merits when he was first a candidate for the representation of Finsbury. lelse, to look to, their tenants, whom they mig ht find against their expectations, they could not bully in vain. —(Cheers;) For - this admonition he had received groans, such as generally follow a home truth in the House of Commons, but had no effect upon him,— (Loud cheers.) But scarcely had the tones of the Queen's voice died upon the ear of those who heard her read the speech—scarcely had the ink, with which it wiS printed, dried on the paper, when a proclamation was issued, declaring that the whole of the North of England was in a state of insurrec tion.—(Hear, hear.) Why, if Parliament were sit • tiug they ought to be impeached, although they felt so secure in their venal, corrupt, and packed majority, that they would laugh at impeachment.—(hear.) He hoped that the example of Finsbury would be followed all over the country. The course proposed by the re solutions was a most legitimate one—to address the Queen ; and, if invariably adopted, it might succeed. If it did not, and the winter were allowed to come upon the manufacturing population .in all the misery which threatened them, bayonets and bludgeons might silence the complaints of suffering for the time, but they would neither terminate the discontent of the people nor the dangers of the State. —(Cheers) The resolutions hit the right nail on the head, when they struck at class legislation, the foun• tain-head of. all evil which the• country suffered. Until every man 'of mature age had a voice in the legislation, there would be no protection for the in- 1 terests of the people, and no security for the property ' of the rich.—(Hear, hear.) He would have great satisfaction in conveying the petition of that meeting as mil- to the throne as he could approach it. He would not insult so enlightened a meeting, by recom mending that they should retire peacealy to their -loons,-tor their ,sentiments and conduct, this even ing, showed that they were men who knew - the dig nity of their character, and were able to estimate the importance of an assembly like that.—He concluded amidst repeated and most vehement cheering. The CHAIRMAN then declared the business of the evening concluded, and the meeting dissolved. Upon his leaving the chair, there were loud cries for Mr. F. O'Connor.

RICHAitDSON, Mr. O'CONNOR then canie - lbrward amidst loud cheers, and said, he had attended that meeting at the request of 'his very - excellent friend Mr. Duncombe, and several of the electors of Finsbury.—(Loud cheers.) He hoped they would' follow the advice which his excellent friend had offered them. He wished that advice had always been taken.—(Cheers.) He begged of them not to expose their naked bodies to an armed soldiery. Let them wait for their points till they had 3,500,000 determined moral force men.—(Cheers.) The Government might stop them just now, but it would not stop them long.—(Cheers.) He had heard all the resolutions which passed with the greatest pleasure ; but the last, that was the gem, because it plainly told them that without the Charter it would be impossible for the manufacturers to give wages to their men.—(Loud cheers.) It was the Charter they required.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. O'Connor) saw danger now before him. They were looking for him; but he still remained, and would remain, firmly at his post ; and for the benefit of one party, he would not consent to join any, till they gave him the Charter.—(Cheers.) He found now that there was no law to control the police, for Sir J. Graham had made them not only cowtables but judges of the law.—(Loud cheers.) What was the good, then, of their physical force ? The Govern ment cared not for their pigmy physical force, when it could tax them all, and raise up a physical force to itself to master theirs. It was glorious fun for them to knock a poor man down. The man who struck them, thought it as fine a piece of fun as shoot ing at grouse • and there was not a bludgeon-man last night, who struck down his man, but was as pleased as the young squire when he bagged his grouse.—(Loud cheers.) But they could not sup press public opinion, and though the Whig press might tell the people not to trust Feargus O'Connor— that he was a demagogue, a hypocrite, and a rascal— yet he would say that he believed he stood as well with the people as any man in England—(lmmense cheering)—and he believed his excellent friend, Mr. Duncombe, held as high a place in their affections.— (Loud cheers.) He (Mr. Duncombe) had 'come be fore them, and he had heard their cheers at his approach, and how proud must he not be at the forest of true English hands held up as the me mori tl of their approbation, which had that night been conveyed to him. He (Mr. O'Connor) had watched him well. He had found him honest to the back, and he would say that he hoped his friend would " leaven the whole."—(Loud cheers.) I'Pith regard to the disturbances in the North he would say that the 'working men had nothing whatever to do with them, neither had the Chartists ' • and in proof of this he might tell them that the Delegates from the trades had now dissolved their sittings, with the determination to meet again when the country was in a fitter state to understand their motives. Now, he knew that he was in danger, and if he stood on a precipice, he thanked God that their cause rested on a sure foundation.—(Cheers.) For if every leader's head were taken off, they would spring up like poppies, and for every five that was killed, a hundred would be found to supply their places.—(Cheers.) He had now said his say—(Cries of" No, go on ") and he thanked his friends for the hearing they had given hini. Many thought, perhaps, that he had come there to disturb all the good that they had done ; not so— he had come to support and assist them, and to ad vise them not to adopt physical force, for they might depend upon it that the Government wished first to fill their gaols with prisoners, and then that every Judge were a Jeffreys, and that the Jury were twelve ruthless butchers.—(Cheers.) Let them adopt peace able measures, and as he must say one word about old Paddy, he would tell them that Paddy was a fine fellow, and that he would lend them his support; but let them take care that the same Bill which the Government had passed for Ireland they did not pass for England. Before he sat down, he would just implore the shop keepers to consider that their interests were identical with the interests of the people. An ill-paidp_opulace made an empty till on a Saturday night. He knew that—(Hear) —and a well-paid populace made a full one.—(Hear.) Let the shopkeepers, then, and the people unite ; there would be an end to Whig and Tory for ever, and truth and justice would prevail, borne upon the six points of the Charter.—(Loud cheers.) He had now finished ; he begged the meet ing to disperse quietly, and to enter into no col lision with the police or the authorities, for they were there. Mr. STALYBRIDGE seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously, and amidst deafening and ' long-continued cheering from the assembled multi- ' tude, whose numbers (densely packed) at this time were scarcely less than nine, orperhaps ten, thousand. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE having come forward to ac knowledge the compliment, was greeted by a burst of the most enthusiastic cheering and applause, which lasted several minutes. He was one of those (he said) who always considered, since he had the honour to sit in Parliament as a representative of the people, that it was his duty first to attend to the interest of the people in his place in Parliament—andhow he had performed that duty he was happy to be able to . judge by the kind and flattering manner in which the meeting had received the resolution which had just been passed.—(Renewed cheers.) But there was an other duty . which at all times it gave him the great est satisfaction to perform—and never more so than on the present occasion—it was the duty of meeting his constituents—he could not say now in the "light of day "—(Laughter—it was quite dark) —but of meeting " face to face" those who sent him to Parli a ment.—(Cheers.) He had the honour of meeting them on this occasion, in a great and portentous crisis of the country.—(Hear.) It was said, that for the value of a Government and the character of its administration, they should look to the condition of the people.—(Hear, hear.) If the character of the present Government was to be estimated by that test, he would say, look to the condition of the millions.— (Cheers.) It was certainly but a few days since— only on the 12th of the present month—when her Majesty went down to dissolve the Parliament, and delivered a speech, of which he would say, that of all the speeches—of all the sentences—(Laughter and groans)—ever put into a Sovereign's mouth, the speech which the present Cabinet had the presumption to put into the mouth of her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, was unrivalled for falsehood, hypocrisy, and cruelty, in the Parliamentary annals of this country. --(Loud cries of "True, true," and " Shame shame.") Now, what had her. Majesty been made to say by her present Ministers ? The very first sentence was, that ' the " state of public business enabled her to release the Members of Parliament from their duties, which they had discharged, in a manner that reflected het greatest credit on themselves."—(Laughter.) He only wondered why the speech did not add : " and most satisfactory to the people."—(Renewed laugh ter.) He asked iniwhat way had the Members of the House of Commons reflected credit on themselves, by their conduct as representatives of the people?-- (year, bear.) By contempt for the petitions of the people—indifference to their sufferings,—and perse- i vering a relentless class legislation.—(Cheers.) This was the way in which that - assembly was occupied during the . session, at the ' end of which they were told, that they had nobly and satisfactorily discharged their arduous • duties—(A laugh)—and what state of the country had their labours brought about ?—(Hear, hear.) • now often had Ministers been warned in the House ' by him and - others, that what had exactly happened would oorne to pass if they persisted in turning a deaf ear to the : complaints of the suffering people ? How often had they been told that if they persevered in their iniquitious and nefarious course, the social frame of the community would be dissolved, and 'the peace of the countrywould not be worth 48 hours' purchase? llChad told them that they shouid enforce a call of the House, and bring the Members back to their places, for the purpose of considering what could be done .for the starving people.—(Hear.) But some had grouse, some, pheasants, and some partridges to lookto— and he reminded them that they had something Mr. O'Connor resumed his seat amid the most deafening applause, and the meeting then separated as quietly and as orderly as if there had been no more than twenty persons present. A few policeinen were stationed at the doors,_ and a few at the point where Penton-street joins the New-road, but there was no necessity even for them.. The most quiet, orderly dis position, marked the proceedings from the commence ment of the meeting till its adjournment, and till the immense assemblage became lost, one by one, in the numerous streets of the metropolis. THE ORIGIN OF THE TURN-OUT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—We find in your paper of the 19th ult. a let- tcr,of Messrs. Bayley, of Staleybridge, which letter you state to have been addressed to one of the local papers. Now, as this letter of 'William Bayley and Brothers, and other -letters of a like description have gone the round of the public press, and as the inhabi tants of Ashton-under-Lyne and Stalybridge know the real facts of the case, so they know this letter of Messrs.: Bayley to be a base fabrication as 'to the real truth of the matter, and written expressly for the pur pose of misleading the public. William Bayley and Brothers state in their letter that they only offered a reduction of one halfpenny per piece, which was only one half the reduction which had been made by others, and this reduction, they state, they offered, because they Pound they were paying higher wages than others for similar descrip tions of cloth. Now any candid reader may see that William Bayley and brothers are disguising the " real truth of the case ;" otherwi§e they would have given the exact price they paid per piece for different kinds of cloth, and the price other masters paid per piece for similar kinds of cloth, as we did in the Man chester and Salford Advertiser of the 16th instant. We will here give a specimen of prices paid by three different masters, before the present reduction was of. fered by Bayley's firm, by which your readers may form their own opinion :—Paid by Messrs. Mellor, 72 reed, 27 inches, 29 yards, 76 picks, 11 id. per piece ; paid by Messrs. Raynor, 72 reed, 27 inches, 29 yards, 76 picks, 1144. per piece; paid by Messrs. Mellor, 72 reed, 36 inches, 88 picks, 124 d. per piece ; paid by Messrs. Bayley and Brothers, 72 reed, 36 inches, ' 88 picks, 12d. per piece. Thus you see that Messrs. Bayley commenced a new reduction of wages of one halfpenny per piece, according to their own statement, as to the amount of the reduc \ ti on , when, at the same time, paying one farthing per piece less.thai other masters, as set forth in the above specimen of prices, before they offered this new re- 2..„ ~. K-0-o , e-b - --- 12, , ,*- _ --/, duction. And we can prove that Messrs- 1 luckley, of Moseley, in the immediate vicinity of Stale ybridge are paying 12id. per piece for the same kind t if clotib as what Bayley's are having worked for 10-d. pet 'piece. We now leave the lying meoster.of William I layley to writhe out of the difficulty i h : has broughlc up* both himself and millions of our fello‘v creature's.

TUMULT AT CARLISLE. • CARLISLE, AUGUST 22, - 1842.—F0r some days . 139.44, the Chartist part of the working population of flit city have been mtt state of considerable agitatipn. and most anxious to take part in the movement going . on in Lancashire and Yorkshire. They have hO nightly meetings in Calden-gate—a subu rb in whit the greater portion of them reside—since Honda last, at which extracts from The Sun and other pal •have been read, descriptive of the agitation in the die - turbed districts. The question of a strike was mooted on Saturday night and last night ; but those ungo •quainted with the movements behind the curtain, imagined that all idea of joining in the turn-out had been abandoned—especially from the speeches of last night. This, however, was not the intentiot of the leaders ; and this morning, three o 0 of four of the cotton mills turned ou partly by coercion, and partly voluntarily, the principal movers being the hand-loom weavers. In the course of the morning a large body of the turn outs went to Dalston, a village about five miles dis tant, where there are two cotton and one flax mill, and compelled the hands to turn out. At an early hour this morning the Magistrates met in the Town-hall, and issued a caution similar to those which have been published by other Magistrates. They then despatched. .a messenger to Lieutenant- Colonel Ibsen, Dalemain, requesting him to forward the troops of . Cumberland Yeomanry Cavalry, under his command, and they are expected to be here within an hour. Special constables were sworn in, and every precaution taken to meet any tumult that might occur. At this thne (five o'clock; r.m.) all is quiet. THE MEETING ON KitNNINGTON COMMON. TO THE EDITOR OF Tag SUN. you permit me, as an eye-witness, to make a few observations on the great meeting held on Kennington-common yesterday evening. I was addressing the assembled people when the ferocious attack by the armed and mounted police was made. Nothing could be more peaceful and quiet than this In order not, to.obstruct the. footpath the people . )tad withdrawn to the farthest end of the ; every precaution had been taken to prio aetve the peace ; and, in the face of this, and in defi ance of all law (for I maintain there never was a meeting more legally called or conducted), an armed force brutally attacked the men assembled to discuss their grievances. Good God! shall the last vestige of liberty in England be thus torn away ? Can we not express publicly our sentiments without fear of an armed Government force. The Chairman con-. sidered it his duty to order way to be made for these valiant horsemen to advance towards the place where the speakers stood, and this gave the opportunity of immediately commencing the sanguinary attack. Directly a way was opened, instead of dismissing the people quietly, if there was any right to dismiss them existing, or demanding of those presiding to do so, or uttering a single syllable in explanation, the -police &Shed their horses amongst the crowd, and began the violent outrage that followed. They have stimu lated feelings of revenge, and disgusted all classes, and the men of London, doubtless will, as declared on the Common yesterday, no longer assemble in defenceless groups, but armed, for the protection o 1 their lives from the blows of sabres and. truncheons. The front ranks of the people were firm and unshaken vesterday ; they were exhorted to remain so, and they gave three cheers for the Charter. , I hesitate not to assert, that hadit not been for the. Chairman's excellent advice, the havoc must have: been terrific. I have rarely seen men more de. termined. The Chairman said his own life he war bound to risk, but it was his duty to preserve those o' others: Many have been seriously and dangerously wounded. At half-past six o'clock the first charge took place, and the people reassembled at eight, and were charged a second time. These are the glorious proceedings of a Tory Government. Your very obedient servant, Aug. 22, 1842. J. ANDERSON. SPORTING INTELLIGENCB. EGHAM RACES.—TUESDAT. At the commencement of the present season it was rather doubtful whether the annual sports of Runnymede would be renewed. They had closed in 1841, under a cloud ; the gentry were lukewarm, funds were low, aed the racing had been below par ; everything portended a dissolution, or, that at the best they would furnish " one heat and a walk over" for the Queen's guineas, al 4 Guildford, Lewes, and other places, where her Majesty's gracious gifts are just as much thrown away. At: the eleventh hour, however, some of the magnates of the neighbourhood, headed, we believe, by Colonel Challoner, " came to the fescue," and the inhabitants receiving and actin4 upon the impulse, a race-fund of considerable amount was speedily collected, Mr. Ilibburd appointed to his old office, and things put en train for August ; too late in the day, perhaps, to place the meting on the same tooting as In its palmy days, but time enough to prevent their total abandonment, and to prove that if the steam be kept up, and influential stewards appointed for 1843, there is nothing to fear. One alteration, however, is indispensable, and that is to lessen the duration of the meeting. The money subscribed this year, with the Queen's Plate, would have insured two good days' racing, but eked out into three, is likely to make an in different show. It should be borne in mind, too, that Egham is now completely isolated, and that a list or small meetings have sprung up within easy distances from the metropolis, or in localities to which tee rail roads afford cheap and easy access at all hours—no slight recommendation to the thousands who are obliged . to economize time as well as money. In the belief that our suggestions will be received in the right spirit, we will touch lightly upon the comparative failure of the races, as far as they have gone. The sport yesterday was of an indiffe rent character, and the attendance, owing no doubt, in some measure to the state of the country, was more numerous than fashionable ; a few of the higher class however, were present, viz.: the Earls of Chesterfield andßosslyn, Lord Langford, Sir G. Heathcoto, and W. W. Wynn ; the Honourables Captain bons, G. Fitzroy, H. Forester, Maude ; Colonel Challoner, Colonel Peel ; Captains Seymour, Bulkeley, Ricardo, &c. ; Messrs. Ives, Gardnor, Rush, &c. Colonel Challoner was accompanied by the Hon. Colonel and Mrs. Stanhope, the Honourable Miss King, Misses Tottenham and Ver ner, and Mr. Parnther. The following is an outline of the sport : The Gold Cup of 50/. value, by subscribers of 10 sous each ; the winner to be sold for 600 L, &c. ; two miles (6 Subs.)

LIMERICK, AUG. 20.—Shortly before two o'clock o'clock on the morning of yesterday, this city and neighbourhood was visited by one of the most awfu thunder-storms known for a long time. The first crash of the clouds was like to nothing but the instantaneous discharge of a full park of artillery, and the lightning was truly terrific, and literally illumined the streets. We are, however, happy to state, that up to this hour no damage has been heard of. The dread clamour of the elements continued in successive peals for three hours, and was accompanied by a heavy fall of rain. The sultry state of the atmosphere for some days before this, accompanied by oppressive heat, prepared us for an explosion of the kind, but not anything equal to the awful conflict which followed, and was calculated t, make the most nervous heart shudder. The temperature is since cool, and there" has been a copious fall of rain. [The Waterford, Cork, and other southern papers con tain similar accounts of the thunder-storm.] THE HARVEST.— Already in a number of farms in this neighbourhood the shearing is completed, and many of the fields are now cleared, and their produce com mitted to the stack-yard in the finest possible condition. There is now no doubt whatever'ns to the superior qua lity of the grain, the samples which have been brought to market being of beautiful colour and great weight. The harvest will be a most abundant one, but even if it were to turn poorly out on the barn-floor, as many per sons were disposed to anticipate, the highly superior qua lity of the grain would more than compensate for any trifling defalcation in bulk. So far as has yet been ascertained, however, there is no reason for any appre hension as to quantity. On the contrary, the yield seems to be as ample as the quality is superior to the or dinary seasous. There is a great want of pasture, which, although much benefited by the rains which fell ten days ago, are still bare, and by no means adequate to the wants of the stock unavoidably placed upon them. The potato and :turnip crop, notwithstanding the SCW;re drought, are generally looking well —in some instances, indeed, the crops are excellent.--Edi*intrgit Papa. liaNxxas—Messrs.

The most rational motives to Life Assurance are found in the plan adopted by this Society ; viz. joined to a secure prevision at death for inheritors of the Assured, the Society affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre vi•us payments) i, the event of unforeseen reverses.

On Monday last a most terrible riot took place in Philadelphia, of which we glean the following details from the papers : Monday vas the day appointed for a grand tempe rance (coloured) procession and festival. The pro. cession started from the Hall in Bedford - 25treet, near Eighth, the head of it being composed of several tall, athletic negroes, who, vain perhaps of their phys!Cal strength, were rather rude to the white persons who. stood around the doors of the building, or got casually in their way. The boys soon began to shout after the procession. The latter grew restless. Demonstrations of ill-nature were manifested on both sides, until the crowd reached Eighth aid Lombard-street, when the coloured Mar shals, it is said, commenced riding down with their horses those who stood in the road. Of course a fight commenced, which was continued at intervals until the arrival of the procession at the Wharton Market, where some new difficulty arose about the removal of a ,cab. At Fourth and Ship - pen-street, a butcher-boy knocked a mulatto down with a leg of mutton, and another butcher flung some liver at one of the marshals. The negroes retaliated. A general fight now hegan. The marshals were dragged off their hoises. Brickbats and other mis siles flew in every direction. Broken heads and bloody noses were seen in abundance. The proces sion made out at length to reach Fifth and Shippen street, and the Pasityunk-road, when another assault was made on it by the now increased mob, and a ban ner--on which a slave was represented bursting his fetters, w - ith the motto, " Death or liberty !" over him, and a fire in the distance—torn all to pieces and trampled in the dirt. Here the procession had to give way; and after defending itself awhile, fled in every direction. • The fire-bells now rang, and the firemen collected. The negroes of the vicinity threatened vengeance, and fight after fight of the most bloody description took place between the whites and blacks. Several per sons were severely and some dangerously wounded on both sides. The police officers of Moyamensing were soon 'oh the ground. The Mayor of the city and his officers arrived at the same time. The Sheriff and his posse attended, and for awhile tranquillity was re stored. A great number of persons were arrested of both colours for examination, and notwithstanding the mobs that still hung about the scenes of the late melee and threatened to demolish and burn down the negro church, the Hall in Bedford-street, and other houses, it was thought that all apprehension of danger was over. . . A number of the ringleaders were arrested and put in confinement. • • Offieer • Whisne i -of • Moyainensing, arrested one desperate character, who, it is believed, stabbed" one Of the white men. Ile is a deaf and dumb. negro. .. . . In the course of the afternOon, prison waggon after prison waggon load of rioters went from the police office to the county prison. The Mayor disposed of the, cases with despatch, binding over or committing the prisoners for further hearing. Jacob Keyser, Ed ward Herrick, Samuel Montgomery, Samuel Luslcy, and John Hamilton (whites), were ordered - to give bail, the two former in 2,000 dol. each, and the latter in 1,000 dol. each. Keyser and Hamilton got bail ; the others went below. Henry Johnson (coloured) was required to give bail in 2,500 dol. John John son (a negro) was ordered to give bail in 4,000 dol. This prisoner was arrested in the riot, with a knife in his hand. _ _ _ Quarter to 8 P.M.—Eleven wounded—three white and eight coloured—at the Hospital. Eight, P.M.—Six prisoners have just.,been , brought in• at the police office. Mr. E. D. Woodruff, citizen policeman, one of the officers having them in charge, coatless and badly cut in the head. We left him get ting his wounds dressed. 91 P. M.—lt had been anticipated every moment since eight o'clock, that fire would be set to some of the public buildings or private dwellings belonging to some of the blacks. Sure enough just as the clock struck nine, the fire bells pealed out the note of alarm, and a lurid Flare in the heavens told that a conflagra tion was going on. We ran down towards South street, and discovered that the new Smith's Hall (negro) in Lombard•street, just below Seventh, was in a blaze. This Hall was not quite finished. It was being built by the rich negro lumber merchant, Ste phen Smith, at an expeme of several thousand dollars, and was the place at which the grand coloured con vention was to have been held on the last Tuesday of this month. In about half an hour the building was a mass of ruins. 104 F. M. The bells are now tolling for another fire. The light is intense. The coloured Presbyterian Church, in St. Mary-street, between Sixth and Seventh, has been fired, and is now a mass of flames. The surrounding buildings and the contents of the church, the firemen are saving. 11 P. M.—The church is burned down. The walls are yet standing bare, naked, and desolate. Not a negro is to be seen in any direction ; all . have fled or hidden. The riot has entirely subsided. The Mayor has just visited the scene of disorder, and the first regiment of City Volunteers are patrolling about in squads to preserve the peace, having been ordered out by Major •General Patterson. Fifteen of the rioters are confined in the Moyamen sing Hall. WEST INDIA MAILS. IMPORTANT TO MERCHANTS. The Answer of the Lords of the Privy Council to the Memorial of the Members of the Manchester Chamber of .Commerce. " Office of the Committee of Privy Council of Trade, Whitehall, Aug. 8, 1842. " Sir,—The Lords of the Committee of Privy Council of Trade have had under their consideration the memorial of the Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures, praying that the privilege of trans mitting letters to the West Indies per packet twice a month, may on no account be interrupted ' • and my . Lords, having conferred with the Lords of the Ad miralty, are enabled to state to you for the informa tion of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, that there is no intention on the part of her Majesty's Government of giving up the communication with the West Indies by packet twice a month, though the communication to some places, not being colonies of this country, will be diminished to once a month.-- I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " JOHN SHAW LEFEVRE. " To Holland Hoole, Esq., Chamber of Commerce, lanchester." • A WOMAN IN A TRANCE.—On Monday morning, the 18th ult., an aged widow, named Betty Butterworth, of Wolstenholme Fold, Spotland, near Rochdale, after eating a hearty breakfast, lay down and fell fast asleep, and continued in that state until the Friday following, all attempts to awake her in the mean time having proved unavailing. When she awoke, she asked for some porridge, which being furnished, she ate with ap parent greediness. It is stated that about six months ago she slept upwards of a week in a similar manner. She is in a good state of health. LOYALTY.—As a large crowd of unemployed ope• natives was assembled round the Court House , on Monday last, Prince George of Cambridge came up to enter the building where the Magistrates were sitting, when one of the unemployed policemen most injudiciously called out "Three cheers for :Prince George." The answer, as might have been expected, was three very Ioud—GROANS One man, it seems, shook his fist in his face, and called him "State pauper ;" upon which the Prince, it is said, collared him, and threw .him down.—Leeds Times. Mr. Bunn has, as we expected, advertised one more masquerade to take place at Vauxhall, on Thursday next, for which delightful amusement the weather is now so adidrably . adapted. The idea of a masqued ball in the open air is so charming, that it cannot fail to draw, as on the last occasion, a very great assemblage. DISTRESS OF THE COUNTRY. GRF:AT MEETING AT WHITE CONDUIT- HOUSE. A Public Meeting was held last night at the White- Conduit House Tavern, for the purpose of taking into consideration the state of the country . and the mea sures necessary to be adopted to alleviate the distress . of the people. The meeting was called for six o'clock, and at that hour the doors were surrounded by persons, mostly in labourers' attire, eager to obtain admission to the large room where the meeting was to be held; an attempt was made, however, to keep out thes e people on the ground that this was a meeting of the lectors of Finsbury, and not a Chartist meeting, Mr. Rouse, the proprietor of the house, having positively refused, when the room was hired, to allow it to be used at all, if it were in tended to turn the meeting into a Chartist demonstra tion. We imagine that the attempt to keep out the honest non-electors was unsuccessful, as we found by half-past six that the large room, which is capable of holding, on a moderate calculation. 2,000-people, was crowded to excess; and though we observed great numbers of the most respectable inhabitants of 'Fins bury present, there were many there, who, from their appearance, evidently advocated the " six points." The room was lighted with gas, and imme diately behind the Chair, affixed against the wall, were papers with the inscription, " Peace, Law, and Order," in large letters. The orchestral gallery was filled with respectably attired females, and there were several. ladies alsO upon the platform. - Shortly before seven o'clock T. Duncombe,' Esq., M.P., F. O'Connor,. Esq.,- R. Duncombe, Esq., G. Rogers, Esq., Mr. Hetherington, Mr. Nicholson, and a e4at- many other. gentlemen, entereEdtr, the plat form amidst the most deafening cheers. ' G. Rogers, Esq., was then moved to the chair. 'The CHAIRMAN having: mounted the table ' cern menced amidst loud cheers. These are critical thws, and we must mind what we are about. That (point ing to the words " Peace, Law, and Order") is our banner, and under that we shall conquer. It was necessary to convene the meeting regularly, and re gularity required that he should tell how the meeting had been convened. 'They had been left without a proper officer in this borough, so they had no means of calling a meeting except bythe 'electors themselves ; and in order. to leave no pretence for saying that this was an illegal meeting, the electors had had recourse to the mode pointed out by. the Act of Parliament. (The Chairman then proceeded to read the requisition Convening 'the meeting. It"was couched in the usual terms, and was signed by 25 electors.) He (the Chairman) had also taken the liberty of sending a copy of the requisition to Sir J. Graham, which he accompanied with the following note : " Sir,—That there may be no pretence for a repetition thir.l evening of the police follies, not to say outrages, which have taken place during the list few days, I brg leave to present you with a list of the conveners of the Finsbury ineetins, and I remain, Sir, " I our very obedient humble servant, " S. ROGERS. "To Sir J. Graham, Bart., M.P., &c. &c." He had received no answer to that little note, so he presumed there no was objection to this meeting, and that this was to every intent and purpose legal— even in the estimation of the distinguished and sensi tive Baronet.—(Loud cheers.) It became them, then, now to consider how they were best to exercise that poWer!'which they as •aleetOrs possessed, for the benefit of those who had no such privilege.--(Loud cheerS.) There might be shades of opinion as to the degree to which the suffrage ought to be extended, but there could be no difference in the opinion that as Englishmen, they ought to see that right and justice was done to the loWest man of the community, and that an injury done to any man in the community ought to be felt all through the body politic as a blow struck at every one.—(Loud cheers, and cries of "Adjourn," which became so loud as to render the Chairman's remarks inaudible.) He concluded by saying, that though there were many present who were not electors, he could not allow any one to ad dress the meeting except he were an elector. Mr. Mooan read a letter from Mr. IVakley, ex pressive of his deep sorrow that ho still laboured upder the severe indisposition which:compelled. him, to remain absent from the House of. Commons during the last six Weeks, and that he should be precluded thereby from being present at this meeting. At the same time, he begged to assure the meeting that he united with them in desiring immediate legislative reform in the House of Commons, and it was his firm conviction, that unless such an organic change was speedily effected by law, the best interests of the country would be involved in confusion and ruin. Class legislation had been the curse of millions. — (Cheers fblkmed the reading of this.letter.) Mr. JAMES SAVAGE rose, amidst cries of " Ad journ, adjourn," to move the first resolution, which was as follows :—" That, this meeting. learns with sorrow anddismay, that nearly the whole of the:manu facturing population have foregone their own indus trial'ocCupatiOns ; that the dittbirraint of thelkople has in some places btoken into open violence,. 'that encounters have ,taken place. ' accompanied with loss of life ; and that in fact civil war-is raging over so large.a'part of Great Britain, as threatens effectually to destroy the security of property in every part of the kingdom." The whole Of this gentlernan's observations were rendered quite inaudible by the cries from the multi tude at the farther end of the room to adjourn. The CHAIRMAN said that the Committee had con sidered the question of adjournment, in case it should be broached, and that they had come to the conclu sion that it would be best to retain the integrity of the meeting, by remaining where they were. He to hear the resolutions in that room, h o wever oppressive the heat might be, and t t trusted s p t a e s d a they th eoiofultd n h ecyo approved them.—(Silence was restored for a moment, but the cries for adjournment became again so Glamourous, that it was found neces sary to consent to the wishes of by far the greater part of those assembled, and the meeting adjourned to the large area between the house and the pleasure grounds ; this immense space, which is calculated to hold between 7,000 and 8,000 persons, and we think the calculation is not exaggerated, was immediately filled. Notwithstanding the -immense numbers pre sent, the adjournment was effected in a most peace able and erderly. manner. Mr. WALKER then rose to second the resolution. This was a - most glorious meeting.—(Cheers.) No man could look on an assembly so immense as this conducting itself so well as this, and admit that it was not a sufficient answer to the statement which had been made that the people could not meet in an or derly manner. Every man present acted as a police man to himself—a gentle one—(Loud cheers)—and if every man kept himself in order, there would be no disturbance of' the peace.- , (Cheers.) Order was Heaven's first law, and if they departed from order they departed from one great principle which ought to accompany all their proceedings. It was a beauti ful sight to behold a body of from 10,000 to 20,000 people assembled to sympathise with their ma nufacturing brethren. It was not for. him to trace the evils which had caused the distress, the mode of alleviating which they were now called on to con sider, to particular sources. He would sum them up in the general remark, that the people at large, not having control over the Legislatur e , were placed through that cause in their present unfortunate con dition.—(Loud cheers.) The object of nearly all the 'public political meetings which had bean held during the last ten years, had been for the purpose of advo cating an extension of the representation ; and that they— of the people should advocated now.-- (Loud Parliament which represent the people, and to that 'end it was only necessary that the people should exercise their ancient constitutional privileges.—(Cheers.) Let them use, then, firm but respectful language, advocate the principle which would. extend- their rights'; 'and he was glad to say that they had a principle on which they might safely rest=he meant the principle of the Charter.—(Loud cheers.) At . the same time that he said that, he would add, that he, apprOved of the exertions of the Anti-Corn-law- League —(Loud .cheers.) Ile was in favour of that which would con duce to the benefit of the country.—(Renewed cheers.) Now came the question as to the means of obtaining • their object. They -must obtain it in the same way as they obtained the Reform Bill. And how was that gained ? By meeting and continuing to meet ; by petitioning and continuing to petition, and to discuss, and that was the course they mat 'pursue now.—(Loud cheers.) An attempt had been made . to put down public discussions—such a thing was impossible. An Englishman always sympathised with a fellow-creature in distress, and evil indeed would be that day when the expression —aye, and the practical expression ,of that spmpathy was not per mitted.—(Loud cheers.) He concluded by expressing his hearty concurrence With everything contained in the resolution which he had the great pleasure and honour of seconding.—(Loud cheers.) •The resolution -was :,then 'Carried anaidst immense applause.
