There was a very good supply of meat, and the de mand, in consequence of the warm weather, was rather indifferent, but prices of the best qualities were fully supported, while for the inferior they were barely sus tained.

There is very little business done ; neither buyers nor sellers being disposed to operate until the yield of the crop can be more clearly ascertained.

IN RE THOMAS WARHAM. The insolvent, who carried on business as a lace manu facturer, appeared on•his petition to be clisehaigect The ' , Mount of debts in his schedule was considerable, and his assets would afford a dividend of ss. in the pound. Several creditors had entered opposition to his petition, but none of them attended at the hearing, this day. appeared by the. insolvent's examination. that he 'lad had extensive dealings with a large firm in Man- Chester which stopped payment some time back, and by Which he lost upWards of 85C/. He had els:, become security for his brother, who was unfortunate in busi ness, and the debts for which he thus became liable formed a portion of those upon which the opposition to his discharge was grounded. After some further evidence, which was of no im portance, the insolvent was ordered to be discharged. • , _ EN RE THOMAS S. SMYTHE. • This insolvent's case has been frequently before the Court, arid has been already reported in The Sun. At the last hearing it was ordered to stand over for judgment to this day, and the insolvent, in the meantime, having complied with the order of the Court, requiring the production of the lease of three houses in Camber wen, and also of some duplicates of jewellery and house - Auld furniture, was ordered to be discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL—(THIS DAY.) A CHARTIST. — John Cartwright, a young man of about twenty-three, dressed in the garb of a mechanic, W as placed at the bar before Alderman Sir George Car roll, having been remanded yesterday, upon the following charge : It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Elizabeth San !,l°ll, one of those "divinities" whose avocation consists lo selling applies and pears, at a "penny a lot," that the Prioner was passing her locomotive warehouse, alias her "standing," yesterday morning, and acting up,to the Principles very generally adopted by a certain class in the city, helped himself to a portion of her stock Which was exposed for sale. Mrs. Sandon opposed the 'notion, and gave the prisoner into the custody of a Policeman, and he was brought before the sitting Magis rateAt Guildhall. The prosecutrix did not appear against the prisoner this morning. -Alderman Sir GEORGE CARROLL to the prisoner— What are you ? Prisoner—l am a Chartist. Sir GEORGE CARROLL—Do you know what is the tot-ening of the Charter ? Prisoner—Yes, Sir ;. it means that every man wot has'nt never committed no murder, or otherwise disgraced his character—(Laughter)— Should have a wote. Then we must have wote by ballot, cos they says there was a . good deal o' rogueishness at the last election—(Laughter)—as masters turned their ken off a'thout they woted as they was told. Well, then, ,C,44re is anival Parliaments, the payment o' the Mem rii7—no property qualification. There's the fruits of lire Charter. Sir GEouGE CARROLL—And is the seventh point tak !t!g that which does not belong to you ? Prisoner—No, a n course, that is not the seventh point—cos there is no seventh.--(Laughter.) ‘,.• Sir G. CARROLL—I think I ought to return you to Ziewgate, you certainly have qualified yourself. Over—l wont do so no more, Sir. Sir G. CARROLL—What do you expect to get from the Charter ? .Prisoner—Why, a better condition. Sir G. CARROLL—You will be a Member of Parlia -lent then, I suppose. Prisoner—Oh, no, there's lots oetter nor me. Sir G. CARRoLL—WeII, as no one appears against you, You are discharged this time. The prisoner thanked his Worship, and left the Court. 130W-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Xo case of interest came before the Court to-day. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.—As might be ex- Pected, this was an opportunity which the light-fingered Zentry and swell-mobmen of the metropolis would not a llow to pass without one or two dishonest attempts on the Pockets of others for their own aggrandisement. A €,_° ,, d many of the less dexterous of the fratern it y were, 'T use their own phraseology, " nabbed," and no less than s ic of them made their appearance at Bow-street, va cl°llsly charged, with stealing pocket-handkerchiefs, null-boxes, cutting pockets, &c. Three of the gentry were sentenced to three months' imprisonment, two to Weeks, and, the evidence being rather doubtful in the Last ease, the prisoner was discharged. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) Miss Anne Baker, a well-looking genteelly dressed female, was charged as follows From the evidence of the police-constable it appeared t hat last night, between twelve and one o'clock, the pri rner was running . about the streets seemingly in lc state of distraction. The constable questioned and . she relied that Prince George of Cambridge 4a B the cause other woes ; that he had given her 101. de w , eek f or living with him, and had lately most cruelly herted her. She referred the officer to Capt. Morris, 'lf the Life Guards, in corroboration of her statement. le answer to the interrogations of the Magistrate she Mated that four days ago she had escaped from a Con vent at Hammersmith, which was conducted by four French ladies, and which had no Superior. She stated that Prince George had treated - her most unkindly, and that if the Magistrate discharged her upon her honour Ishe would go off to her relations. "Ur. ComnE perceiving that her intellects were dis ?rdered di rec t e d h er t o re main in custody until Mr. Wilkes, the parish overseer, should arrive, and have her l 'estured•to her friends. UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Cornelius Drake was charged with breaking into the 4 -Ise of Mr. Fry; of Ilarrow-street, Southwark, and stealing a quantity of plate and other property. The prisoner was taken into custody soon afterwards, and an article (a Mackintosh), amongst the stolen pro- Perty, was found in his possession. In the kitchen also, ,‘"(is found an old pair of shoes changed for a new pair, 4 Y one of the thieves ; and a shoemaker attended the ;Ultination, who proved that he had made the former or the prisoner, who was committed. Edward Thomas was charged with breaking into the Premises of Messrs. Evans, coopers, of Great Guildford 'street, and stealing 201. in copper money besides other l l roPQr ty. The complainant's counting-house was broken into u( plundered of the above property, besides a quantity 'Pf clothes and a pair of compasses. In the course of the morning the prisoner was met by a policeman, who ,nowing him to be a bad character, and seeing him `'ressed out in a new suit of clothes stopped him, and 'questioned him on the subject. The prisoner tried to make his escape, but being secured it was subsequently ' di scovered that the suit of clothes he had on formed apart of the stolen property. He was committed. ~ONE ir and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

Business in Shares have been confined to London ilirtningham, Quarters, 47+ ; South Eastern, 214 ; and Brighton, 334. The Markets are all exceedingly heavy, and with out business. The value of money is from 1 to 2 Per cent. The Roscius, which left New York on the 25th Ilt, has brought but few commercial letters, and these contain no important facts in regard to trade. llo ne t a ry affairs do not appear to have improved, neith er 'had any greater disposition to arrange with the foreign Dr home creditors been evinced. These 'e°llllled w ith the uncertainty in regard to the tariff , t . — axe caused nearly a total cessation of orders. Some further information has been received both ILlA:Mexico and ti pm Texas. Each nation appears r . )*' determined to continue hostilities, and the ‘6ttei ' had received Ar?veral reinforcements of V olunteers from the United States. But it 'w9nld seem that neither party, from the .N r4ot , of money, will be able to matte any decisive loevement. Under the new and relaxed tariff, the trade of Mexico is said to have improved considerably, end it is much to be regretted that a suspension of it should occur, considering the importance of it to this country generally, and to a large c lass of individuals in particular, whose pincipal reliance for the payment of their eqg outstanding claim, is upon the receipt s o f t he Custom-house. Since the engagement was entered auto, by which a portion of these was set apart for the `:ividends, it has been faithfully observe 4 and doubt less will be as long as no extreme pressure ior money shall arrive; but on previous occasions Santa Anna has not been very scrupulous in appropriating the funds which had accumulated for the dividends to the necessities of the State, and may perhaps do so again.

Early on Thursday, the whole of the able-bodied out pensioners ,were summoned to assist in preserving the peace.• They assembled first in the. fire police-yard, Claredec-street, and Underwent a preparatory drill ; they then proceeded to the Tawn-hallond being placed under the direction of the police authirities there, were.de spatched in bodies into different districts of the town. The'swearing in of special constables went on all, day at the Town-hall, and upwards of I,ooo , were enrolled. They were sent out from time to time, in bodies more or less numerous, according as the emergency of the case required. In the course'of the day•a notice was issued by the county Magistrates, in the following terms • "Proclamation.—The county Magistrates acting for this•division hereby call on all respectable and well-dis posed persons to come forward and offer their services as special constables without delay, and also to resist, with all their efforts, the lawless proceedings of the rabble who are committing depredations, and preventing peace able persons from pursuing their lawful avocations. — (Signed) T. Fred. Foster, J. Bentley, S. Phillips, Robt. Gardner, John Bradshaw, P. M. James, George Clarke, S. Fletcher, John 'Chadwick." FURTHER OUTRAGES DURING THE DAY. During the day we understand that the workmen in the employ of the surveyors of highways were com pelled to. leave their work. Another party went to the new church buildint , in the Stretford New Road, and turned out the hands ' about four o'clock in the evening. The same party turned out. the hands at a rope-walk, situate near Jackson's-lane, and the bricklayers employed at the houses building in New Brighton. The latter made a slight resistance, but were pelted with stones, and they then laid aside, their - tools. Marauding parties were about Greenheys during most of the afternoon as well as morning, visiting the private houses as well as shops. In many streets they proceeded by house-row, and ob tained a good deal of money and bread, some persons giving as much as half-a-crown. One gentleman in Cheetham, we have been told, gave a couple of sovereigns to a party who called upon him. During the after noon the town became much more peaceable, especially the Ancoats, Red Bank, and St. George's Field part of the town. A couple of field-pieces were planted by the artillery at New Cross in the morning, but the better appearance of things led to the withdrawal of this force in the evening. PRISONERS IN CUSTODY AND PERSONS W 0 UNDE D. On inquiry this (Thursday) evening, we learn that the number of persons -in custody and confined in the New Bailey Prison for these disturbances is 122. Two gentlemen, whilst passing along Oxford-road, about seven o'clock, were attacked by a mob of persons, and were severely wounded by stones thrown in their faces. They ultimately took refuge in a house near Little Ireland, where they remained till a body of the police could be had from the Town-hall to release them from their perilous situation. On inquiry at the Infirmary, we received the following list of persons who had been brought there during the present and preceding day. We are indebted to the politeness of Mr. Furnival, house-surgeon, for these par ticulars :—Joshua Potter was admitted on 'Wednesday, having had his skull fractured by a policeman's trun cheon. Abraham Cooke was admitted the same day, having his skull lacerated by a policeman's staff, in Gar rates-road. William Darby, a policeman, was admitted on Wednesday, severely bruised about the chest and legs, having been knocked down by the mob, and jumped upon. Mr. Henry Cadogan Campbell, special constable, called on Wednesday night to have his head dressed, having had his scalp lacerated by a stone. Samuel Bagnall, policeman, admitted to day, very severely injured about the head. Abraham Dee, another policeman, was admitted at the same time, with his head severely lacerated. Inspector Charles Dale, admitted to-day, his scalp lacerated and severe contusions on the arms and legs. Henry Morgan, a pensioner and special constable, was brought in also this day, having received a severe laceration of the scalp. There was also another policeman in the house, Owen Rafferty, who had received an injury by one of his fingers being nearly cut. off, and a laceration of the scalp. Of these patients Bagnall and Potter were considered to be in a dangerous state. We have not heard the names of all the rioters taken to the Infir mary, but we understand the number of patients alto gether brought there up to this evening, arising out-of the riots, including the above, is 23. PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES BY 'THE MA- GISTRATES. In addition to the other proceedings noticed above as adopted by the Magistrates, several public notices were issued, amongst which the folloWing is one of the principal : " Borough of Manchester.—Whereas various illegal meetings have been held, and large assemblages of per sons continue to assemble together in the public streets, in such manner as to excite breaches of the peace. and, by their riotous conduct, -do create great alarm to the public ; Now the Magistrates do hereby warn all per sons from taking part in, or being present at, any such meetings or assemblages ; and do hereby make known their determination to cause the laws to be put in full force, to prevent, suppress, and disperse the same. WILLIAM NEILD Mayor. " Town-hall, King-street, Aug. 12, 1842." THURSDAY NIGHT, TWELVE O'CLOCK.—Affairs Wear now a more gloomy aspect. Some companies of the 72d Highlanders, from Liverpool, arrived this evening by a special train, and a strong detachment of cavalry is hourly expected. Constable Leigh, who was severely wounded yesterday afternoon, in an attack on Birley's mill, died this afternoon at half-past four o'clock, at the infirmary, and the Magistrates have taken the depositions of the other wounded policeman, who is in a dying state. He is in a most dreadfully mutilated state, having been severely kicked and it.jured by tke wooden shoes of many persons in the crowd; a hen down upon the ground. Many of the rioters were captured, and sent, under a strong military escort to the New Bailey prison at Sal ford, although it will probably be some days before the examination can be entered into, as not a single police man can be spared from active duty. Besides the proclamations issued by the Mayor, for the prevention of illegal meetings, the following placard has been extensively circulated throughout the town : " PEACE, LAW, AND ORDER. "TO THE TRADES AND MILL HANDS OF MANCHESTER AND ITS VICINITY. " At a preliminary meeting of members of various trades and mill hands, held in the Fustian Cutters room 'rib-street. " It was unanimously resolved— " That this meeting recommend to the operatives of Manchester, and its vicinity, the propriety of assembling in their respective localities, at seven o'clock in the morning, to consider the best means of advancing the in terests of the people at the present alarming crisis, and that such various bodies elect delegates to repreSent their views at a conference to be held at No. 70, Tib street, at ten o'clock in the morning. " By order of the meeting, " WILLIAM BOYD, Chairman, " P.S. Let all meetings that elect delegates be public, and within doors." A meeting has been held at the Carpenters' hall, at which language of the most violent and inflammatory character was used. At nine o'clock three of the special constables were brought into the Town•hall, very severely wounded, and taken, by order of the Magis trates, to the infirmary, where already nearly thirty of the victims of the riots are confined. The police were allowed to go to their homes, having been on active rr vice for four days, with but a few- hours intermission, They, however, as well as the military,.will all be under arms and at their different stations at four o'clock. The town is, however, at the mercy of the mob, as there are no police on duty in any direction. After dark, the town resumed its wonted quiet ; the • crowds who had been standing during the day in diffe rent parts, silently dispersed ; and by ten o'clock, the streets were even more quiet and orderly than is usual at that hour. Indeed, it is a remarkable feature in this riot that not the slightest tumult, as fur as we can learn, has occurred ou any . of the three nights since its com mencement ; but this is probably accounted for by the mob supposing that aftiT the usual hour for the suspension of factory labour, their operations can be of no avail, In closing our melancholy narrative of this day's out rages, we cannot refrain from a remark, which we have heard hundreds of times during the day, as to the utter incompetency of the force, civil or military, at the disposal of the authorities, for the repression of outbreaks which are raging . at a hundred points at once. Doubtless, the serviees of a very numerous body of gentlemen who have been this day sworn in as special constables will tend materially to remove this evil. But the want of a 41.40iPTIt protective force was, this morning, most painfully felt i n the ont-tpwnships, especially in .Ardwick, Chorlton, and IT4ltne, which were ecimpletely over-run, from eight ':lock in the m orning till four in the afternoon, by shoals of sturdy and daring beggars, in bodies of from nye to fifty in number. Thesis dastardly ruffians selected the smallest and most unprotected houses for their prey, and were most loud and threatening in their demands where only females appeared at the doors. The utmost alarm wa s occasioned by these precodings, gnd there heing no ellarwe of osisOopp from thuPPiI.PP, 110 O M PaP Pc was to bp seen in these townships (except pt the bottom some reluctan tly pissehat we have acceded to ii heard the O x f demandsoorfd, - g r oa of f, d e ) t h , me ot i mob, t e ipnriand, in : unfi di preetly. Of course, the flY 3 Pei 411 d provisions tjuis obtained were, in nine cases out of ten, wasted, pr wantonly * destroyed. In one street in Chorlton, a party of lads obtained a large quantity of pieces of bread, with which they immediately began to pelt one another 1 . Many of the shopkeepers in Brook-street, ik•fer4 7 roFid i and Nedlock-street, were great sufferers ; for where tp give was dis covered, tilt: doors were continually besieged by parties in succession. In some of the smaller thoroughfares, the greatest violence was perpetrated ; doors were' forced oPePI anti Puntriblitions levied at the caprice of the snob. In Medloelc-stceei l tbe Miff' 4FFPPIit WY a mob . of fifty boys taking the shops in rotation, and &mending contributions in the most clamorous manner. At one place they fairly forced open the door. and knocked down pn old woputn t who was apparently the only person to oppose their progress. ~Another remarkable feature which has c haracterised thee liftsfromthe beginning,. is the circumstance th a t in all the attacks that r-F-Y 0 peen Fade PP Wills, work shops, or public buildings, and indeed • in all the out rages that have been committed, a number of big boys, armed with stones and bludgeons, are invariably put for ward as the ringleaders. lien, and women too, are to be found in the mobs ; but hoyi; f iat r Oways tab:en the lead ; boys commence the attack , and dO' all the mis• chief, the adults in general contenting themselves with cheering on the juvenile rioters.

After turning out:the hands 'at all the mills and larger' works which had ventured to start in the Morning, the villains turned their attention to smaller concerns, in which from five to twenty hands might be employed, and compelled a cessation of work amongstbricklayers, s: one masons, painters, joiners,. rope-makers, and all whose operations tieing carried on Out of dobrs rendered them visible to the mob. The system is evidently extending, and threatens, ere long, to bring all industrial Opera tions to a complete stand-still. At the time we commit these lines to the press, we have no certainty of being able to lay before the public these alarminz details, to: our own works may be invaded, and our bawls compelled to turn out. STOCKPORT. (FROM A PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT•) STOCKPORT, THURSDAY, Auc . 11, 1842. It has been rumoured for two or three days past, that the people of Ashton, Hyde, Stalybridge, and the surrounding districts, were coming to Stockport, to turn out the hands employed i n the different cotton mills ; the object of these people being to cease working until the wages which they had in 1840 are again obtained. This morning about eleven o'clock, a body of men, women, and children, ing to no less than twenty thousand,amount entered the town, the men and boys armed with sticks and heavy bludgeons, and it is said many of them had pistols and dirks in their possession. They at once proceeded to the different mills, and succeeded in turning out the hands ; some of them proceeded to the engine houses, and others to the boilers, and raked out the fires. No resistance was offered , except in one case, that of Mr. Bradshaw, who refused to stop his engines. His gates had been barred, every door fastened, but these were made to yield like matchwood. Mr. Bradshaw, it is said, was severely beaten, and made to beg for forgive ness. His mill was immediately stopped, and the hands turned out; the masters generally had previously, given notice that when the mob came the hands must instantly cease working, which arrange ment no doubt p rev ented much mischief. About half-past twelve o clock to-day the yeomanry cavalry from the surrounding districts were assembled in the market-place, together, with the regular t roo p s w hich were stationed in the town. From the moment the immense concourse of people began to appear every shop was closed, and the whole town presented a holiday. appearance. About one o'clock another body of people, equal to—indeed greater than—the former, entered the market-place close to the cavalry and soldiers, singing and flourish ing a forest of bludgeons. The troops were repeatedly cheered as the people marched round the market. About two o'clock some thousands of the people pro ceeded to the large new union workouse, erected a little way outside the town, and after forcing an en trance, they took an immense quantity of food, and turned out all the inmates—in fact, all the bread and meat in the building was seized by the hungry peo ple ; a dinner, which was just laid ' for the guardians, was immediately seized and consumed. During these proceedings an immense public meeting was held upon a piece of waste ground called Waterloo. After the speakers had addressed the crowd for a short time, the soldiers and cavalry made their appearance among them, with an intention, it is thought, of dispersing the crowd, the people, however, formed in two bodies to allow the cavalry to pass between them ; the latter drew their swords, when they were-immediately ch a ll enge d by a flourish of thousands of sticks and bludgeons, accompanied with ironical cheers from the people, in the most fearful and menacing manner, not a man offering to move. A general shrinking was evident among the cavalry who passed through the crowd, without any further proceedings. About three o'clock the cavalry proceeded to the workhouse, and some scores of persons were taken prisoners, in the act of consuming the food which belonged to the in mates. The people immediately proceeded to the spot and demanded the liberation of the prisoners; but this was not complied with, and the workhouse has been surroundetl by the cavalry and thousands of people up to this hour (six o'clock) without anything being done, the people and the soldiery simply watch ing and menacing each other. A dense body of armed people, at least two hundred yards in length, and twenty in width, has been surrounding the bastile up to thishour (seven o'clock), the main body of turn outs have returned to their homes, with the understand ing that they will return again to -morrow. The cavalry and soldiers are still surrounding the workhouse without any idea of orders to move. The mills are all stopped, and the work-people are walking the streets, and the whole business of the town is at a stand-still. The oldest inhabitant of Stockport does not remember a period when the people seemed so united and deter mined to resist the reductions of wages which have been offered as they did to-day. There seems to be a regular organisation amon g th e p eo ple, every trade having its Committee, and guards being left over eirery mill to see whether the hands resume their work. If they do, they have been threatened with rougher treatment than they received to-day. (ANOTHER ACCOUNT.) STOCKPORT, THURSDAY EVENING, EIGHT o'uLocx„..... This morning the turn-outs assembled at Hyde, when they were joined by some of their companions of the preceding day, and having laid down their plans, pro ceeded in a vast body, joined by colliers and other trades, to Stockport, in which town they arrived about noon. The various mills were soon stopped, and at some of them the men were compelled to retire without being allowed to put on their clothes. One manufacturer, Mr, James Bradshaw, was very much beaten by a party of the mob. It was with some difficulty that he escaped with his life. All the mills having been stopped, they proceeded to hold a meeting on Waterloo-road. Tho speakers were chiefly Chartists. It was unanimously resolved not to return to work till they obtained the prices paid in January, 1840, During the meeting a portion of the turn-outs had proceeded to the union:work house on Shaw-heath, whore they forced an entrance. and took away 672 four and six-pound loaves, and 71. ir. copper. Information of this proceeding Leing con veyed to the police - otke, iTe a number of special co nstables, yeomanry cavalry, and t w o companies of in fantry were in readineSs, th e grea t e st Portion were despatched to the place, and succeeded in eapturitig tween thirty and forty of the rioters, This circumstance twine' made linewil at the Mectiag, a great number imme diately left t o go and rescue the prisoners, but the place was so well guarded that the attempt was not made, During this several of the mob were seen logclin pi§tels l and others were observed with formidpble daggers under their coats, Q yortioP Pt the prisoners were released ; anti uU Were all liberated, the mob tt appearedb t 3 f t ' er.° somewhat tt6s and between five and six strangersthe n • The Magistrates afterwards examined the prisoner s detained, andserenteen a them evening, All the shops and public-house s h ave been closed since no on. A meeting of the operatives of this town is now being held, but the town is t 4, present a were e committed for trial, and Svnt Of to Knutsford the s peaceable ; it is hard, however, to say how it will be morrow, when, it is said, the tOrti.ehts from Hyde, &c., will come again, _ sALFortD.

We believe one of the Messrs. Wilson expressed a determination that the Mill should not he stopped, and s t a t e d that he had a body of police in the ygra to protect it. The gates were then closed, and the crowd , proceeded to throw stones over the wall. A body of the police rushed out, and drove the crowd haek ; most of OM then went round to the south side of the Wilding, and hurled showers of stones at the windows, evidently determined to destroy, as much „,,.. perty as they could. The police again 11144 sally, and drove the crowd away ; but, befortl they had succeeded, a private watchman, who WO stiltiOned himself at one of the windows inside, discharged a b lunderbuss, loaded with No. 4 shot, at the legs of the 4asailaot s ; and five Of them, we regret to say , were "unded.

Manchester to-day are worse than yesterday. The mol .had increased considerably ; meetings were held at sevei and ten o'clock this morning, and the mob were haran gued as before by their Chartist leaders. This morning a serious occurrence also took place at the print-works Messrs. Gisborne and Wilson, 'Adeiphi, Salford. The men at these works have never joined the turn-outs, and the premises have, in consequence, been daily visited by men who threatened them unless they did so Otiy Ot * l - tfieskyisitS were made .147.alai•gestiob. Soon after the seven o'clock meeting Was over ..this morning: they • demanded e admittance, and threatened the people unless they stopped their work. We are told that many of Messrs. Gisborne's workpeople are armed. The mob `began to throw stones, and do other damage, when a shot 'was fired from the cellar premises and wounded four of five persons, chiefly lads or S'oung men of 16 to 18, most ofthem were shot in the legs, and one in the body appeared to • be dying when curried away by his comrades. The throwing of stones was stayed soon after, and the police, headed _by three Magistrates, coming up soon after, the mob moved away. The state of things is tearful ; all the colliers ift.this neighbourhood have turned out, the shops closed, and business quite at a stand. Three men were apprehended in the act of stealing bread from a provision shop in the neighbour hood of Needham-lane, and were put in an omnibus to be carried to Bridewell ; but the mob having got intelli gence, the omnibus was attacked and byeken, and the men set at liberty. • The mob also succeeded this morning in causing the men at the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Com pany's sheds to leave their work ; this was before at tempted on Tuesday and Wednesday without success. To-day they also seized and damaged a loComotive engine on the Leeds and Manchester line, taking out the fire bars and leaving the engine useless. The engineer was thrown down the bank and was a good deal bruised. ATTACK ON A MACHINE-SHOP IN SALFORD. The machine manufactory of Messrs. Higgins and Sons, King-street, Salford, commenced, work at the usual time this morning. Soon after, a large mob appeared in front of the gates, and after demandin,g,the hands to be turned out, some indisposition beirg-lnanifested to stop the works, they commenced throwing stones at the windows. The proprietors of the works not being pre pared to repel force by force, were compelled to submit to the dictation of the mob, and the hands were accord ingly turned out. PREPARATIONS BY THE AUTHORITIES OF 1. Amongst the prisoners brought in, who now amount to 150 2 was the man who can be identified as having in qicted the severe and probably fatal injury ,upon policeman yesterday. Up to this hour the casualties of the police were 13 seriously and 11 slightly wounded. Large crowds are now parading Market-street, but the great concentration is in the lower parts of the town near Granby-row, near Carpenter's-hall, where the large meeting of Delegates is to be held. Rumours are now being circulated that the mob intend to attack the market carts on their way into the town to-morrow morning-, and as nearly one hundred thousand persons have been out of employ since Monday, it is difficult to say to whflt extent their necessity may drive them. The follow ing proclamation has just been issued:— All thosegentlemen who are anxious, as good citizens, to preserve the peace of the town, who are owners of horses, Will greatly assist the authorities if they will as semble on horseback at the Town-hall, at seven o'clock to-morrow morning. W. NEILD, Mayor." FOUR o'CLocx.—A summons has just arrived at thp Tow n-hall for a detachment of police to Messrs. Birley's mill, on which another attack has been made. In con sequence of this a force, consisting of several mounted police, forty police with drawn cutlasses, and 160 special constables, each detachment of which is commanded by one of ie recruiting sergeants of this district, has marched down under the command of Sir Charles Shaw and Colonel llogg. The Aldermen and Common Coun cil of Chorlton-on-Medloek have just called a meeting at the Town-hall, to enrol the respectable inhabitants as special constables en masse. Whilst the meeting was proceeding at Carpenter's-hall, an attempt was made to hold an open-air meeting at Granby-row-fields. Mr. Maude, the Magistrate, went up and gave them five minutes to disperse, which, not doing, he ordered the military to charge, whi c h th e y did, an d immediately cleared the fields. _ _ Strong piquets of cavalry and rifles are placed along Oxford-road, and the places adjacent. LTp to five o'clock 57 prisoners had been taken, which makes a total number now in custody of nearly 200. An attack was made a short time since on several of the provision shops in Deansgate, when a detachment of police, under Super intendent Beswick, marched out and secured many of the offender's. About 4,000 special constables have already been sworn, and many more will be added to-morrow. We are glad to announce that a little confidence has been restored up to seven o'clock, the hour at which we close this communication, but more vigilant means, it' possible, will be adopted to-morrow. All the shops in the principal lines of intercourse remain closed, and it is feared that trade will be still further impeded to-morrow. The result of the proceedings of the meeting of dif ferent trades at Carpenter's hall to-day has not yet transpired. All the firemen, as well as about 1,000 special constables, are ordered on duty for the night, and the military will continue under arms. SALFORD. The force at the command of the authorities at Sal ford, this morning, had been augmented to 28 police and watchmen, under the direction of Mr. Diggles, the deputy constable, and 50 of the county constabulary, from the adjoining districts, under the • command of Captain Woodford, the chief superintendent, and Captain Willis. An additional force -of 300 special constables were yesterday brought into opera tion. Joseph . Leese, Esq., and Elk. Armitage, ;Esq., County Magistrates, have been in c onstant attendance at the Town-hall since Tuesday, to superintend the dis position of the various forces, and to act as may be ne cessary in cases of emergency. • APPREHENSION OF RIOTERS IN SALFORD. We learn this morning that two prisoners were appre hended on Tuesday at Mr. Speakman's mill, in Brown street, by Taylor, of the Salford police, and White and Bradshaw of the county police, for using violent and threatening language towards Mr. S., on his declining to stop his works. We may add that Mr. Speakman, like the rest of his neighbours, has.sinee been compelled to succumb to the tyranny of the mob. It is said that one of the men so apprehended will be identified as be longing to a party who, on Tuesday morning, got upon the line of the Bolton Railway, near to the station, and attempted to slake out the fire under one of the engines, which was about to start with a train. This daring at tempt was, of course, frustrated. . TEN O'CLOCK.—This morning the - whole of Man chester was in a much more pacific state than it bad been since Mouday. Groups ot' -- people had been as sembled in the streets which bad_been: the principal scene of tumult on the previous day, but probably more out of curiosity than a design to do mischief. The steps taken by the authorities to prevent and disperse , meetings on Thursday probably had created some fear, end no attempt has been made in Manchester to get an outAloor meeting. The placards on the walls announcing meetings of the. trades are numerous, and one was called for seven in the morning, another at nine, a third at ten, and there is one also of delegates from these smaller meetings summoned for two o'clock, at Carpenter's Hull. As these meetings are thought to be perfectly legal, we believe no attempt was ma d e t o i nter f ere w i t h them. Few of the mills, as far as we can learn, have started this morning. ELEVEN O'CLOCK, A.M.—The ,Most fearful accounts were received last night from the country district:. A geutleman who had just come from Heywood informed our correspondent that the mills had - all turned out, and there being no military nor an adequate police force, the persons in the mob were helping themselves in all direc tions. Happily, notwithstanding. all apprehensions to the contrary, the night has passed over quietly ; but in defiance of all the cautions of the Magistrates, large numbers of persons in crowds of between 300 and 400 paraded the streets in different parts of the town before six o'clock, even going down Market. street tUld by the Town-hall. The Magistrates commenced sitting at six o'clock to swear in special constables., 40 persons are coming in very numerously for the purpose, Up to this hour there arc very little short us—two thousand sworn in. The first aot this morniti was an attack upon some extensive silk-Mills i n Siker-street, ' hich they compelled to stop,,• t*Pg out all the hands, after which they \vein several other mills. The conduct and behaving a the Itla more deter mined than ever, and festvs are enfertalned that the day will not pass over Without some serious . collisions. To judge of the fearful Mate of the town, there has not been a single policeman on street-duty fur the last three ghts.- The and police marched this morning to their several stations soon after four o'clock.- There appears a great deal of organization in the proceedings of the mob, although it has not been ascertained under what leaders they aro acting. At nine o'clock this morning a notice was given to the. police that. a meeting of the leaders of the disturbance was being held at the lead-mille Of the Messrs. Ockle shaw, in Piccadilly, A strong detachment of police and special coestebles, eeeorepanied by. a pr6teeting party of dragoons, immediately went to the spot, where, entering the premises at the rear, they made a gallant charge, and succeeded in capturing ten priSoners, who were im mediately removed to the Town-hall, attended by a very great crowd al persons. A notice was immediately af terwards Issued, of which the following is a copy:— " All persons who have been swarnin as special con stables, with the exception of those who are now on duty, are requested to assemble at the Town-hall forthwith. 44 WILLIAM NEILD, Meer, Town-hail, Aug. 12, 1842, Seven o'clock," From a very early hour, all the. roabts leadtng to the Oxford and Garrett roads were thronged with persons, and so frightful is the upezt of tliings in that quarter. that every sltep, oven to the publicshouses, are closed. A meeting was held at the carpenters'-hall, at seven o'clock, and another was oonYeCe4 IV The carpenters and joiners for ten o'clnc fob the purpose of appointing dele gates to a gellPTaUllWiair of all the trades to be held at two 0 1 694. The ailltlr is now assuming more of a poli tiesiaspect, as a series of resolutions has been published anti circulated, avowing the principles of the Charter, ex pressing themselves - determined to forward it at all hazards, and attributing, in most violent language, all the present disastrous state of affairs to class legislation. tip to, nearly the last moment of writing the greatest as semblage of persons was at Bank-top, although large crowds were assembled towards Oldham. road, and at Salford things were equally unsettled and distressing. ' Information bas just been received that the whole of the halal at the Worsley collieries are out, and on their route to Pendleton to. join the . colliers there, A strong detachment of dragoons has just marched to intercept their progress in that direction. Accents just received from state the same system to be adopted there, str..4. the turn-outs are 1 on their march to Todmardeu and the various places in that vicinity. At tin ;ailment of closing the accounts are more fearful, QuAltVga-PAST ELEVEN.—The Sheffield line of rail -1 way is stopped, at the Newton Hyde station. Information has just been received that the train on the Manchester and Sheffield line was stopped at the Newton Hyde station by a party from Ashton. All corn inunimtion and business from Manchester is suspended. There was great a . pprehension of an attack on the Man ehester and Birmingham line, as . it is believed that a regiment of soldiers are on their route from Birmingham. Anxiety pervades the mind of every one. Market ' street is Ailed with persons of a different description from those who have created the alarm the last few days, with but very few weavers amongst them, and nearly all the shops in Market-street are closed, persons being fearful almost to venture in the streets. The results of a deep orgaaiaation are being developed, and the Magis trates and military having exhausted all their resources, appearances become darker. The order will be issued for the immediate closing of the shops, and the General of the. district is now along with colonel Wemyss and the Magistrates in consulta tiwi, to deliberate on what steps must now be taken. Fresh troops have just been despatched to Pendleton. Preparations are making for the defence of the Town hall, which it is feared may be an object of attack. All the mills at Blackburn turned out this morning ; and the nobs at Bury were so thick and formidable yesterday, that none of the coaches eould go down the principal streets. The Town-hall has been crowded with persons this ragraiug who volunteered their serviees as special constables. Two o'CLocK.—The reports received up to this hour from all quarters are bad in the extreme. The Mayor, Sir Charles Shaw, and all the officials, are bothered with applications every minute from some quarter or other, to send assistance for the protection of property. The crowd have been assembled on th© Cheetham-hill-road in large numbers, where they have been plundering property and soliciting money. It is feared on all sides that, if measures eta very prompt description are net takieti, very serious eon sequences may ensue. At one. ;*...)oek intelligence was received that the mob, hail stopped all the hands on the Leeds Ua;lTii.Yl their object being to tear up the rails, iv, which they were prevented by a•detaelitaeAt of the police, who were despatched from the 044 am-road sta., tion. A second report stated this the mob were attack ing the Cheethain-hill works, oh which Colonel Hogg was despat4ed with a strong party of the police, armed with oullasses, and No. 1 company of the special, e.ou. stables, under Mr. Ewart, nephew - of the Member for Dumfries. Whtn they arrived en the spot, they found that it had been so 11:40440 . y defended by the inmates, who w. 1 :9 tiWtxr-ti in as special constables, that their pre 4enee was rendered unnecessary. It is also st a t e d, t h at 300 colliers are surro un di ng Trafford Parlc, resolved to come into the, town, and that. gl.c'Y are all armed with the implements of th 01;. wiling. The military are out at all the cliOretti stations in the town. • BIRMINGHAM. FRIDAY EVENING, SIX O'CLOCK. - Everything in this district remains perfectly peaceable, and no prospect of anything to the contrary. The miners are still all out in the surrounding district, and the supply of coal is consequently hourly diminishing. One hundred and twelve of the 12th Foot, and their officers, passed through here this morning at eleven o'clock from Weedon to Newcastle, to replace , some Rifles who were immediately to proceed to Manchester. All the troops that can be disposed of will be sent down. We have had here all day many exag gerated rumours from Manchester and other places. It is, however, I believe true that the Magistrates were swearing in special constables at eight o'clock this morning at Congleton, although no disturbance had taken place. The driver of the omnibus' from the Potteries, who ar rived here at four o'clock, says, all was quiet in that district as he passed through. There was a meeting of the weavers at Macclesfield to demand the prices of 1840. They were met by the masters, who acceded to their demands, and they returned to work. Delegates proceeded yesterday from Wednesbury . to the four ad joining counties, to induce the miners in these distri•ts to join in the strike. _ It is rumoured at this station that information has been received that the mob broke up 'le railway line, between Leeds and Manchester, anti attacked the Bolton station. QUARTER PAST SEVEN O'CLOCK.--During the day the trains on the Sheffield Railway have run as usual, order being restored. PRESTON. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) A meeting was held here this morning in the Orchard, at which it was determined that the diiferent factories in the town should be stopped. .Ince that the mob hat visited nearly every' *tory and machine shop, and they are all now standing Still, and the work - people parading the streets, perfectly quiet and peaceable. With the exception of forcing the doors at the Moss factory, have not heard of auy violence. Every body seems to wonder what it is to end in. DUNFERMLINE. HNDURGH, THURSDAY, AUG. 11.—We deeply regret to state, that on Monday and Tuesday night serious riots took place amongst the weavers of Dunfermline. It appears that a week or two ago the proprietors of some of the large shops in that town, containing twenty or thirty looms, had seen cause to reduce the wages of their workmen. This the men were much dissatisfied with ; but no serious outbr ea k t oo k place till Monday night, about ten o'clock, when a large party as sembled, paraded the principal streets of the town, ex tinguished the lamps, and broke the windows of those who had proved obnoxious to them. From thence they proceeded to the factories, and set fire to tke looms in one or two factories, which were consumed, though th e flames were extingui shed before the buildings were reached. On Tuesday ,Ir. Sheriff Monteith went over to Dun fermline, and exerted himself strenuously to preserve the peace of the town by swearing in special constable:', Sce., but on Tuesday night the riotous assemblage again ap peared, broke more windows, set on tire more looms, and broke into the shop of a man named Scotland, who, be sides being a partner in one of the factories, keeps a grocer and spirit-dealer's shop, gutted his shop of its contents, and threw them into the street. We under stand, also, that when the Sheriff was conducting one of the prisoners to prison, the mob set upon the constables, wounded several, and rescued the prisoner. It may In stated also, as a specimen of the wild justice obtaining among them, that when they were breaking the windows of one of the inhabitants, under th e i m p ress i on t h at h e was a partner in a factory, he looked out of the vvindo)i and told them they were mistaken, on which the mob immediately desisted. The Sheriff (Monteith), we understand, made applica tion for a military force, and, in consequence, half a troop of the Inniskillen Dragoons proceeded across the Frith yesterday morning ' • and, as a report was spread that the mob intended t o force the gaol, to rescue seve re of the rioters who were confined there, they were drawn up to protect it. A heavy shower falling in the afternoon served to clear the streets, There was also a meeting of the weavers in the Abbey Pend, to draw up resolutions, in the afternoon, but we have not heard the results. Things have a remarkably gloomy appearance, and it woad appear that th e ser i ous r i ot i ng in Dunfermline had been premeditated. The rioters appear to have been well organised, there not being the slightest misunder standing among them as to their unlawful proceedings. The appearance of the military among them has cer tainly tended to suppress a little outward appearances of additional disturbances, but there is evidently a deep rooted determination to commit mischief, and it is impos sible to predict ulterior proceedings. We regret to state that it is confidently asserted that many wives of the weavers wore to be seen encouraging, if not aiding the infuriated mob. Business is at a stand-still, which must necessarily greatly increase the existing distress. OLDHAM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Twelve o'clock, Oldham, August 11, 1842. SIR,—You have already seen the state of things in these districts from the Manchester papers of yester day. Up to this time nothing fresh has taken place, except that the cessation from labour is extending itself to even the smaller trades. Yesterday morning the operatives of Oldham who had hitherto taken no voluntary part in the proceedings of the surrounding districts, assembled about 2,000 strong at five o'cloek, A. M. and proceeded to the vacant land behind the Albion inn, where they were addressed by several speakers, who spoke of their grievances, and the un feeling conduct of Government, and of the unprinci pled character of the masters, &c., in attempting to reduce the wages of the people ; and although no fresh reduction had been attempted in Oldham, the speakers contended that if it was submitted to at Ashton and Stalybridge, that it must certainly come to Oldham in a few weeks, and as they were already deep sunk in poverty and misery by low wages and dear bread, that they could not be much worse off 'let come what might, ind that they had better make a stand at once. A resolution was agreed to not to work any more until they had the wages of 1840, and that they would neither work themselves, nor allow any others to work, until this object was attained ; and this they have car ried out to the letter; so that neither cotton mills, hat-manufactories, or coal-works, or any other business is going on. The speeches of the various speakers were moderate at all their meetings. In nearly all cases the masters have been on the alert, and have immediately stopped their mills on the ap proach of the mob, so that no destruction, of property in this town has taken place. lam sorry to say that in Saddleworth one master did present a blunderbuss and attempted to fire on the mob, but the fire missing, the mob rushed in a body into the mill, took the blun derbuss, beat the master very severely, but did no fur ther damage. Large quantities of Specials are being sworn in, but as there are no military nearer than Manchester, seven miles off (and there none can be spared), we fear if any irritation was given to the mob, they would soon have the town in their own, hands, but as our people are generally slow to. violence, we trust we shall escape bloodshed and destruction of property. I may just add that the ope ratives appear to have a deep system of organization, and more regularly conduct their business than ever appeared before in the manufacturing districts. in conclusion, allow me to say something must be done, as the middle classes (who have also suffered deeply) appear rather to look on the whole as the d awn of a change that may be for the better but cannot be ler the worse.—l am your's, most respect- PIIILO. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Oldham, Thursday evening, 9 o'clock. SlR,—The operatives that left the town this morning, have just returned, greatly increased in numbers. When they set out they were about 3,000 strong, when they came in they were about 6,000 ;- so that they made a very irregular, but very formidable ap'pear :ince. Their route has been to Shaw, Royston, Rochdale, and Heywood, in all which places they have been successful in stopping the mills and various works, which has greatly elated them. At this moment they are assembled in the field be hind the Albion; and, at a fair estimate, amount to 6,000 and upwaris. The speakers recommend. peace, law, and order, which I hope they will" act - ton. • 'All the special constables are 13eacably on duty about (=- beautiful Town-hall; and• most express a deep sym pathy for the people. No military have come as yet, so that if they were disposed for mischief they mi ght" Rio it. But this does not appear to he their wish at present. A large placard, drawn up in very temperate lt.n• gunge, calls on masters to give the prices of 1840. at the foot of which is a list of those prices. 1 asked a master his opinion of the list. lie told me there was nothing unreasonable in it, and that the Oldham masters were not much below it ; but that Ashton and Stalybridge were very much under it. But 1 find that there are many difficulties in the way of a nominal uniform price, as there is a ?Teat difference in the var i ous ki n d s o f mach i nery by which'- it is performed, some being more modern and im-. proved than others, the owners of the best machirv,rr contending that, having laid out more capital thy4l the owner of the old machinery, he ought not to ifav the same nominal price to the workman, because he (the workman) would get more on his machinery than he could on the old machinery of the other master. I may just add that they say they are losing moat! every week at the price they do pay, and in prom` ,;f this they point out much good machinery the.. has been idle for months, so that they think the liuestion will not soon be settled. An awful gloom 'gangs over the looks of all you meet, and dreaclfu ) . 'fears for the consequences are entertained by AA. This evening the procession consisted of a grec.'‘ter mixture of trades than in the morning, so that 'it becomes not a question of the cotton trade s but of every trade.

RocuEmu:, Arc. 1 inquest was held yester day at the Guildhall i this city, biAre Mr. Lewis, the City Coroner, op the body of Robert Sparrow, the boat swain's mato belonging to her Majesty's steum sur veying rssel, the Shearwater, who was unfortunately drow:ied, with five other persons, by the upsetting of boat in the river Medway, on the 25th of July last. The body was picked up on the mornine , of the 3d inst., and a Jury was immediately summoned, but owing n) the want of evidence the Jury adjourned their inquiry to Friday, the 12th inst., requesting the Coroner in tlyc meantime to write to Lieutenant Dunlop for his atter.d ance, he being the only surviving person. The evidence showed that when they were shout a place called Folly Point, the deceased (Thomas 'Sparrow) had hold of the main -sheet, which, being hoisted round his head, he could not ease off gradually ; at that mo ment a sudden squall struck the sail, and wrenched the sheet out of his hand suddenly, throwing the boat's crew to leeward, which, in addition to the heel the boat sdreadv i • had, upset it ; all persons. on board were immediate l y immersed in the water, the boat havin g sun k.

THE COLLIERS' STRIK 11.— DUDLEY.—Y er i t er d a morning a "demonstration "of the turn-outs tr,ok place at Dudley, when a crowd of them, variously computed at from 4,000 to 19.,000, marched throug,ii the town to attend a public meeting at Wednesbury. ,• 'this meeting was attended by from 30.000 to 40,000, t nd, among other resolutions, it was resolved not to resume work, even if their masters agree to prices, untilthe rioters now in gaol are released. This resolution is an illegal one, and sub jects the persons attending the meeting to heavy penal consequences, but we hope these will fall only on the ringleaders, who must be taught that in arranging terms for their labour they will not be permitted to un settle the'very foundations of civil liberty.
