The meeting was serving their purposes, and they sup pressed it. Two thirds of the present mischief have been caused by a succession of petty attempts to suppress little ebullitions of popular feeling. They have soured the people ; and, we trust, that the intelli gent Magistrates of Manchester, now that they have got a mility force to back them, do not mean to stop up all the outlets of 'discontent till it burst into some still more serious conflagration. There seems to be a prevailing feeling that the present alarm caused by the working classes in the manufacturing districts ought to lead the Govern ment to investigate and improve their condition. There must be some plausibility at least in an idea which occurs at the same time to the Post, the Herald, and The Sun. The former agrees with us almost to.the words -we employed, and is anxious to evoke " general and permanent good out of temporary and partial evil." Nor is there a lose, but rather a more, extensive agreement as to the real evil to be remedied. Whether our Contemporaries rail against the New Poor-law, against factories and capitalists, or against landlords, or call for a Ten Hours' Bilf, and the exclusion of children from mines, they, one and all, agree with us that the working classes are too heavily burdened, and too poorly paid. There is unanimity on this point, and the Press; standing aloof, generally, from the class prejudices of land lords, capitalists, statesmen, and tax-eaters, ventures with a strong and clear voice to tell them all, that, somehow or other, the labouring classes are not fairly treated. There, are great differences, we are aware, as to the best means of improving their condition, but an immense step has been gained when the Press is almost unanimous in declaring, that, for the public safety, it is indispensable to have the condition of the working classes inquired into and improved. Agreeing on this point with our Contemporaries, we differ as to the means of effecting it. The Herald is for accomplishing the desired object by Church extension. The people, who may be sup posed to know their own wants, call out for pigs (to use their own phrase), and our Contemporary would give them parsons. They .want something 'to eat, and he would appoint something to eat them. The burdens of the labouring classes are the overgrown and overpaid Church, the exorbitant State, the landlord's high rent, as well as the capitalist's inordinate profit; and to lighten their burdens, the Herald proposes t 6 add to the weight of the Church. We differ totally . from the Herald. One of the best means of relieving the overloaded industry of the nation would be no longer annually to extort from the people of Eng land some five or six millions sterling, to provide for an idle, pompous, vain-glorious hierarchy. Our other Contemporary, the Post, would have some grand new scheme of government applied to the the manufacturing districts. Nothine , (it says) has ever yet been done upon a large scale—such as the greatness of the subject demand.ed— to fit the ordinary machinery of government to the ex traordinary- state of circumstances which has grown up in our manufacturing districts. Nothing in the world exists like that which is presented to the view of even a casual observer in these districts. Nowhere else, in this or in any other country, do we find such enormous masses of people heaped . together, and wholly dependent upon a great manufacturing system for their support—a system which is liable to continual fluctuations, over which the masses who depend upon it for life have no control, and can have no control. . . . . For Surrey or fot Lancashire,' the lawS'andcustonus, the means of instruction and'eontrol, the systems of magis ttacy and ,police, are pretty nearly the same, though every rational. man whir: considers the subject must see that the means (4 . government and superintendence which may be sufficient for the one, is likely (owing to the extraordinary difference of circumstances) to be wholly inadequate for the other. . _ We think the time has come when the rulers of this coantry ought to consider, much more closely- than they ever yet have done, what it is possible for the State to do in order to counteract the disturbing influences, and the tendency to occasional misery and insecurity which be long to our present manufacturing system. That statement proceeds, we think, on two assump tions ; first, that the agricultural population are, in all the matters it alludes to as evil, better off than the manufacturing population ; and the second is, that the system applied to them, in Surrey for example, answers all the purposes of Government. Can the Post have forgotten that, only twelve years ago, when . the Tories formerly held the reins, the system in Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, &c., was fOund to the full as def6ctive as the system at Manchester ? Then the south of England was in a blaze, the Magistrates were mocked at, and special commissions sent into exile the agricultural victims of a vicious system. We believe that any possible adaptation of the Surrey plan to Lancashire, would only aggravate ►he evil. We apprehend, too, that the agricultural labourers have as little control over their masters and the land owners, as the manufacturing labourers have over the capitalists. If a landlord or a farmer can make any improvement in his mode of cultivation, he is quite remorseless as to what becomes of the people. Have they had any control over that clearing system which has been going on in Ireland,. and some parts of Scotland ? Have they not been turned out of house and home, and found refuge in towns, or across the Atlantic ? Are the agricultural labourers, at this moment, in a better condition than the manufacturing labourers? No; all suffer under the oppression of one common system ; and the humane desire of the Post to relieve them, could not be gratified by placing squires and parsons over the districts of Manchester, as they rule over the parishes of Surrey. Our Contemporary has unfortunately had his at tention directed to the manufacturing population, through his desire to defend the Corn-laws, which has distorted the objects to his view. It is yet too early to speak decisively of the conduct of the manufac turing population in their present agitated state. We arc inclined, however, to think, that after they have returned to their work, even the Post will look on their conduct, as compared to, that of the peasantry in 1830—when it is remembered that several great towns have been completely in their hands, and at their mercy—in a favourable light. Their habits are invariably those of peace and regularity. The, st eam-engine compels all who are in connection with it, and dependent on it, to be regular and methodical. They have no taste for violence and irregularity. in all large towns there are loose, idle, disorderly per sona--persons who are what is 'called independent, because they live by casual and hand labour; these persons may be riotous at Manchester as well as London ; but the factory population, properly speak ing, the machine-makers, printers, spinners, &c., &c., are essentially an orderly and regular population, who have no notion of living by forage and disorder. Though the colliers are generally found in manu facturing districts their occupations, each one working in a hole at a distance from his companions, doing almost everything by hand, wielding his pick as he. lies on his back, at his own pleasure, are more in eel cordance with those of the agriculturist than those of the factory-worker. At least they resemble each Other in this, that both are individualised, and each is much .guided in his work by his 'own will. The factory-worker is the assistant and servant of a machine. Now let the Post remark that the colliers, both in England and Scotland, are the men who have been guilty of the greatest out rages. We believe when the Post reflects on the fact, that probably not less than 500,000 persons have been involved in the present commotion, it will find reason to be grateful that it was a manufacturing rather than an agricultural population which was thus stirred to its innermost depths. We regard our Contemporary's opinion of our manu facturing population as crude and erroneous:. He admits that the Government has grossly neglected its duty to this great population. But the popula tion which the Government has attended to, according to the Post, is not in a better, but rather in a worse condition ; and we therefore cannot be lieve, with the Post, that a factory population will be improved by being regulated on an agricultural system. In truth our statesmen and public writers know very little indeed of the factory population ; now and then some glimpse of a corner of it is obtained, as by the inquiries of Committees and Commissioners, or as by the present outbreak; and the great astonishment or alarm which ensues is a conclu sive proof that of the whole we are grossly ignorant. Men are acquainted with the laws of planetary motion, and they are not surprised, at an eclipse; but they know little or nothing of the factory system, and, therefore, when a little portion of it is suddenly revealed, they are lost in wonder. Baron Brunow, the Russian - Minister, Count Kiel mansegge the Hanoverian Minister, and Chevalier Bunsen, ;,he Prussian Minister, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.—The Queen and Prince - Albert;and the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, at , tended by the Duchess of Norfolk, breakfasted with her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent this day, her Royal Highness's natal day, at Frogniore Lodge. His Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen was of the party. The Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal have been taken airings to-day. The Duke of Wellington took his departure from the Castle this morning. His Excellency Baron Moncorvo, the Portuguese Minister, arrived on a visit to her Majesty. • At half-past six o'clock this evening, her Majesty and the Prince, and the Duke of Saxe Coburg, at tended by the whole of the Suite, left the Castle in carriages for Virginia . Water, where the Royal party dined in the Temple. At half-past seven, the Right Hon. Sir William Fremantle and Mr. George Ed ward and the Hon. Mrs. Anson, had the honour of joining the Royal party. Covers were laid for 24. The band of the 2d Life Guards was in attendance. 'The Bachelors held their annual Revel in honour of the Duchess of Kent's birthday, and the town was illuminated generally this evening. Yesterday being the anniversary of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent's birthday, the same was observed at Kensington by the usual marks of respect; and every demonstration of -loyal attachment, So justly due to her Royal Highness, was especially displayed on the occasion. The morning was ushered in by the ringing of the church bells, and in the even ing a numerous party of the tradesmen of her Royal Highness met at the King's Arms Tavern, where a most excellent dinner was provided, and to which her Royal Highness, with her wonted liberality, largely con tributed by the present of a very fine buck. Win. N. Wright, Esq., most ably presided in the chair. The usual loyal and appropriate toasts were drank, and the harmony of the evening was sustained by Mr. Hudson and his professional friends. The houses of the tradesmen in the town of. Kensington and in various parts of London were splendidly illuminated. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, attended by Lady Augusta Somerset, Baron Knese beck, and Colonel Jones, honoured the Surrey Zoolo gical Gardens with a visit on Tuesday evening. The Duke and Duchess and the Princess afterwards left town for Kew. Lord Fitzroy Somerset, the Military Secretary to the Commander-in-Chief, remained at the Horse Guards on Tuesday evening, and also visited Sir James Graham during the eveningat the Home-office. Yesterday morning a deputation from Sheffield attended at the Home-office. The Attorney-General and the Solicitor- General arrived at the office, and had anlinterview with Sir James Graham. The Earl of Leicester attended at the office in the afternoon, and Lord Fitzroy Somerset visited Sir James in the afternoon. Sir Robert Peel arrived in town yesterday evening. The Chancellor of the Exchequer arrived in town yesterday from Ryde, Isle of Wight. A deputation from Sheffield, consisting of Mr. Charles Pease, Mr. Green, and Mr. Crossland, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, yes terday, at his official residence in Downing-street. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) CITY, WEDNESDAY EFENING. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 8 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 351, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 471, it follows that gold is 0.48 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. zttVia;.. " Who runs may read." OILF.XGAT. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 432 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 Bi, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at sho'rt being 13 10, it follows that gold is 6.68 per . cent. dearer in' London than- in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1064 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 3.32 per cent. against England ; but the quoted exchange at New York being' for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest Must be deducted from the above difference. SUN.—The excitement to ascertain the state of the manufacturing districts does not appear to have' sub sided in the smallest degree, and the intelligence by the late delivery, published in the Second Edition of The Sun, caused a decline in the price of Consols, which left off at 911 91* for Money and for the Ac count ; Bank Stock, 170 171 ; India Stock, 250 251 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, sr 53 • New, 49 51 prem. The prices of Foreign Securities were—Belgian, 101+ 1021-; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 52 ; the Five per Cents., 101* 1021 ; Danish; 82+ 83?; ; and Brazilian, 65 66. The improved state of the Share Market continued until the close of the business, when London and Birmingham were, 177 180, ex-dividend ; Bir mingham and Gloucester, 48 49 ; Great Western, 881 891; the Half Shares, 63 63+ ; South Western, 621 63 ; North Midland, 56 58 ; the New Shares, 27 28 ; South Eastern and Dover, 211 ; Eastern Counties, 99 ; Northern and Eastern, 391 40f ; Blackwall, 8+ 971; Brighton, 338 33g. The quotations for the Bonds were—Colombian, 20 20+ ; Peruvian, 15 16 ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 334 33*; the Three per Cents., 191 20; Spanish Five per Cents., 20* 21 ; and the Three per Cents., 201 201. The above are all for time, and no intelligence has arrived from Spain which would warrant the advance in these Bonds. The relative situation of the various States of South America towards each other, is such as to demand attention. Independently of a valuable general trade, carried on between this country and that portion of the world, Englishmen are individually largely interested, as being bondholders against these nations. And so long as the anarchy, which has existed for some years past, shall continue, so long is the one interest diminished, and the other jeopardised. These remarks have been occasioned by the intelligence from Buenos Ayres received to-day, and the contents of the despatches by the last arrival, the Teviot. Mexico, which has more particularly maintained its position, is at war with Texas and Campeachy ; Texas is viewed with jealousy by the United States ; Buenos Ayres is struggling with the province of Monte Vedeo, and with some other dis tricts ; in addition to which Chili, it is stated, has now turned against it. A serious insurrection is also in progress in some of the- mast important provinces of Brazil, and the whole of the minor States in the interior are pitted the one - against the other. Con sidering how much British interests are suffering by these broils, for the poverty and paucity of the inhabitants will not allow the supposi tion that any serious effects will arise to themselves, it is not too much to expect and to claim the interference of our own Government in ar ranging them. As far back as November, 'lB4O, a convention was entered into between Great Britain and Texas, in order that the former might mediate with the latter, the ramifications were exchanged in June of the present year, but nothing appears to have arisen from it. The French blockade caused great interruptions to English commerce, but to the advan tage of their own; and by the last accounts, " the ab sence of French influence being seriously felt at Monte Video, in order to counteract the efforts of Mr. Man deville" is made the subject of much complaint. From the condition of the several belligerent parties but little can be effected by the one party or the other by actual fighting, and each successive arrival shows that intrigue is the prime mover among them all. A firm remonstrance upon the part of our Exe cutive would, it is thought, be productive of much good, and prevent other nations obtaining that supe riority for which they are eminently striving. Com mercial relations have been concluded between England and Texas, but it is believed that Belgium has contrived to forestall us, and, from all appearances, it may be reasonably doubted if other European nations may not do the same in regard to some more of the republics.

We have abridged from the Manchester Guardian a report of what took place at a meeting of Delegates ict-M4metiester on Wednesday, which seems to give a more definite idea of the objects of the Turn-outs, and the means of obtaining them, than anything we have previomly seen. There were present 141 Delegates, who have all been collected for this special occasion. That fact alone indicates organization, forethought, plans, and power, which may be exceedingly trouble some, if not carefully managed. Though the ma jority was in favour of going for the Charter, no in considerable number was for confining the agitation to obtainipg an advance of wages. Some of them even sitte strongly and energetically in fitvour of an immediate raturn to work. It is . plain, therefore, that the forethought and the organization have not yet found a clear and definite object in which all are agreed. As to — present means of success, they seem to have non?. They are aware that they have no resources, and cannot live without wages. One of the orators, indeed, :•eterre'l to the standing crops on the hill ides, having the conduct of the Scotch colliers pro bably present to his mind; but he was told by an other; who entertains a just idea of property, that they were ,the inalienable right of another. There is in that difference of opinion' evidence, therefore, that they will not , unite, unless some great necessity inrcc them to it, in a system of pillage. " In-, to any schemes," says the aifanchester Guardian, " of pilla* or incendiarism, like those which have dis graced awrektr district, we are quite confident nothing will impo4 - the working classes of this neighbourhood." As they are not disposed to be guilty of such acts of outrage, Yet them be hardled with respect, let them not be outraged under the authority of law—for it has long been unhappily the case, that outrages on the people are sanctioned by the law—and there is every probthility that they will speedily return to their ac customed habits of quiet, patient industry. To carry off the heat of passion, there seems no thing the valve of an oißdn mouth. When the Converhion met in London all alarm ceased after its proceedings, which were uninterrupted, had been twice ov-,thrice reported. Out of Parliament, .as well as in Parliament, orators talk the heart out di' every subject. For the promotion of divisions amongst the Delegates and their constituencies, and for restoring the workiiig classes to their ordinary habits, we can conceive vothing more serviceable than such meetings at that at :Manchester. Could at...vthing better serve the cause of order 'than the :ro,-..ommendation to return at once • to their work ? Cob.ld anything weaken and dis hearten the Turn-oui.s more than to find that their leaders differ mated 11 as to what they should do, wad are ready to Mpute as to the means they shout employ ? What a mockery, too, of a grunt insurrection, to have the meeting discussing a resolutio: for the management of trades' clubs. Public ineatim,•s bring vague passion to the hard test of material wal practical measures, and blow off at once the over-eharg-d high pressure boiler of each indivicNd's own feelings and wisheA. Believing that it is only 're4iiisite to treat the Turn outs with respect, in order to bring about a speedy and peaceful adjustment, and ling also con vinced that such meetings ventilate the mine of discontent, we egfet that some of the Magistrates of Manchester should have disco rated that the meeting. of Delegates was illegal, because some timid persons were frightened at its pd seilAe consequences, and shouldl have thou g ht it the lir duty to irderfere and put an end to it. Their ' LITERATURE. THE BOOK OF ONE SYLLABLE. We are much pleased with a little volume under the above title, which contains several tales written with great care, not to say elegance, notwithstand ing the restraint which the object of the writer must have imposed. The tales . combine instruction w ith amusement, and will lend `a charm to the early stages on the road to learning, which has hitherto been, wanting. The reading in propria persona is always an object of ambition with a child, and the difficulties which those troublesome words of two, three, or more syllables put in the way of its attainment, often serve as a serious check to further exertion. This difficulty the book of one syllable was meant (we pre sume), to remove out or the path of young readers, and we thinkthe authors have admirably accomplished their self-imposed task. We say " authors," for the fact is that some of the little tales ere written .by children under thirteen years of age ; and•this circumstance adds materially to the interest the little work inspires. It will please those for whose perusal it is intended all the more, that the stories are all true, the incidents having happened in the family itself by the members of which the book is written. The language is easy and graceful, and no nursery ought to be' without the " Book of One Syllable." We would gladly quote as a specimen of the style a quaint tale, entitled " The Man in the Moon," which, from its style and manner, very different from many modern tales, has revived the earliest of our own recollections of books ;* but the demand on cur pages for ma tt e r of a sterner, if not so pleasing a nature, forbids, and we can only recommend the tale and the book to youthful readers. rtor rt, -won sllllr OFFICE Three o'clock. The intelligence from the disturbed counties, if not quite so favourable as could be wished, is •still of such a Character as to justify us in repeating our belief that the reign of order will very shortly be restored.. The anniversary of the Peterloo massacre, which was looked forward to by all classes in the neighbourhood with so much well-grounded - anxiety, • passed off without disturbance of any kind; and, indeed, generally, throughout Manchester and its. environs, there are symptoms of a wi.,h on the part of the Turn-outs, to return to their usual occupations. In Yorkshire, how. ever, things wear a very unsettled aspect. Up to noon yesterday, Leeds was tolerably quiet, notwithstanding the stoppage ofsome of the mills; but large bodies of men were assembling and plundering the provision-shops at Stanningley, and it was supposed would advance from thence to Leeds ; but as there seems to be a sufficient mili tary fbrce at hand to' check any further attempt at outrage,we may calculate that there will be no very serious disturbances in that neighbourhood. It is in Staffordshire that the riots wear the most alarming shape. There the mob have been guilty of the worst excesses, and several lives have been lost, in consquencc of the rioters coming into collision with the military power. The Staffordshire colliers, however, are remark able for their ignorance and brutality ; and their present reckless hearing—so differen t from that of the majority of the Turn-cuts in other quarters proves that they are altogether swayed by the headstrong impulse of the moment. On the whole, we think we may safely congratulate our readers on the improving aspect of affairs in the mining and manufacturing districts. It is clear that the worst has passed, • or is passing; and it now becomes the bounden duty of Government to institute a strict investi gation into all the causes, remote as well as proximate, of the riots, with a view, by an equitable system of remedial measures, to pre vent their recurrence. It will not do to wait till next February. Extraordinary exigencies re quire extraordinary attention and promptitude on the part of the Legislature; and unless Sir ROBERT set about the task of investigation at once, and in the right spirit, without the slightest regard to party considerations, 'he will find that the peace of the country will be liable to con stant interruptions. We have received only a tew of the French Papers of Tuesday, the preceding day being kept a close holiday by most of the newspaper establishments. The following are the only ex tracts worthy of notice : . We have received the Moniteur Algerien of the 10th inst. It contains the reply of the Minister of War to the address to the King, from the Governor-General of Algeria, in the name of the army. on the occasion of the death of the Duke of .Orleans. Marshal Soult informs the Governor-General that ho had received the coin !nand of his Majesty to express his thanks to : the army,. and also to the Council of Administration o f the col o ny, and the Chamber o Commerce of Algiers, from ,which bodies addresses of condolence had also been received. The same Journal annonnees the fOrmation of a com mittee charged to receive subscriptions from the army and colonists for the erection of a bronze statue of the deceased Prince on the Place Royale of Algeirs. There is nu news of military movements in the M'oniteur Alge rien. The Augsburg Gazette contains the following under its St. Petersburgh head : " Lieutenant-General Grabbe's appointment to the functions of Commander in-Chief of the army of the Caucasus, now fighting against the people of the mountains, has bean confirmed. An action took place lately in one of the defiles of Southern Daghestan. The loss of the Russians, which has in some accounts been stated as very great, did not exceed forty officers, and six hundred men." The Constitutional of Barcelona published a procla mation, by which General Zurbano assimilates smug glers and those who harbour them, to the rebels and their partizans. They are all to be shot, and the inha bitants are bound under heavy penalties, and the Alcades On pain of death, to pursue them, - and give notice to the authorities of their presence at every point. The Journal approves these measures, and adds, that it is the only means of putting an end to the smuggling of English rrianutacturers.—Le Commerce.

Sir James Graham dispatched a messenger this morning to the Queen at Windsor Castle. The man fimnd under suspicious circumstances in Windsor - Castle; on Monday evening, was brought up this day at the Home-office, for re examination. Mr. Hall, the Chief Magistrate of Bow-street, arrived at the Home-office, to take the depositions in the .case. A NEW TRADE.--It is quite erroneous to say that Sir Robert Peel has not given a great sti mulus to industry. Who, in our day, remembers the tax-collectors so actively employed? Printers, too, are much in demand to prepare the new tax papers. Runners to deliver them cannot be found in sufficient quantities. Scores of barristers have been employed to elucidate the new taxing law. Attorneys have received numberless fees to answer very confidential questions. To all those old branches of trade he Imas given a wonder ful stimulus, and begotten more activity than the great speculations of 1823 and 1824. He has also called new branches of business into life. Few honest tradesmen know how to fill up the complex returns; they are obliged to have assistance ; and we see in several papers advertisements offering the services of skilful men. The greatest secresy is promised, and the greatest care. Sir Robert Peel, then, is a great public benefactor, like Watt, for he created the new trade of Income-tax-paper-filler to the ignorant, which promises to be a most flourishing business.

At eight o'clock this morning a detachment of troops, consisting of about 800 men of different regiments, arrived at Waterloo-bridge from Wool wich, by steamers, and immediately proceeded en route for Bradford by the Birmingham Railroad. The Master-General and Board of Ordnance placed yesterday at the di3posal of the Hon. Artillery Com pany of the City of London, for one day's practice in the marshes at Woolwich, three light six-pounder guns, one heavy six-pounder gun, and . one heavy three pounder gun. Firing was commenced at a target nine feet square, at a range of 700 yards. Fifteen rounds were served out to each gun, and the firing was ex cellent, a great number of the balls entering the target, some of them very near the bull's eye. MAW 111 . 43) 1.0 LICE.

The demand for most kinds of Produce was steady, and the general character of the market was unchanged, with a progressive improvement. In the West India Sugar Market the sales were not large, hut the importers were firm, and the prices of last week were firmly sup ported. TEA MARKET. It beinr , understood the public sales will take place next weerr, the market was very quiet, and prices merely nominal, though purchases could not, be made except at extreme rates. The deliveries continue extensive, not withstanding the low prices of coffee.

Woodhouse Moor, Captain Burdett, during the move ments, and when the troops were charging at full gal lop, was thrown from his horse, the animal stumbling' upon him. The unfortunate gentleman was so severely stunned by the fall that he by as if dead, and the utmost anxiety was felt by his Royal Highness and the officers of the regiment. After the lapse of a quarter of an hour he was so far recovered as to be able to stand up, and shortly after was conveyed to tile barracks in a coach. — fork Courant. There is now living in this county a man named Ripley, who for the last 80 years (without intermission) has taken out a hawker's license, and has consequently paid to Government upwards of 3001. This patriarchal hawker still travels the country, although he is now at the advanced age of 103. The above fact was related to Mr. Taylor, stamp distributor of this town, by a grand son of the aged Ripley, who also exercises the same call ing.-- Sussex Advertiser. AMSTERDAM, AUGUST 13.—His Majesty the Em peror of Russia has ordered the issue of a third series of 60,000 Polish Treasury bonds, of one thousand Polish florins, at five per cent. interest per annum, in the same manner and on the same conditions as the two preceding series. LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT COURT—(THIS DAY.) Although the Court was occupied for a consider able time a few days back in hearing applications for bail, most of which were disposed of by allowing the insolvents to be at large until their hearing, yet this day no less than 53 applications (of which 32 were town cases) came before the Court. IN BE THOMAS BURGESS. The insolvent, who was described as a solicitor in Lambeth-road, applied to be liberated on bail. 31r. Thompson, of Chancery-lane, the officer for the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, appearing him self as one of the bail, a point was raised, which was finally over-ruled. Bail being allowed to justify, the insclvent was liberated until the day appointed for his hearing. RE THOMAS V.-ASKELL. The insolvent had carried on an extensive busineis at Limehouse, as a bleacher and printer, from the year 1836 up to the date of his arrest, and previous to that at Manchester. The amount of debts appearing in his schedule exceeded 2;0001., about 400/. of which were due under a fiat of bankruptcy previous to his leaving Manchester. His insolvency he attributed to losses in trade speculation, also to the circum stance of a fire having broken out on his premises about iwelve:months ago, when a quantity of calico and trade utensils were destroyed, he being un insured at the time. lie applied now, through Coun sel, to be liberated en bail until the day appointed for his hearing. After the Court examined the sureties, with re- . spect to their solvency, the application was granted. RE ROBERT REUBEN LYON. Mr. WOODRUFFE applied to have the insolvent li berated upon bail until the day of hearing. The insolvent's liabilities and assets were at pre sent several thousand pounds, and the application to bail was without consideration for 2,4001., the amount of purchase money of a business which the insolvent bought from the executors of Graham. In reply to the Learned CHIEF COSIMISSIONER, the insolvent stated that the assets under the bank ruptcy, over and above the expenses incident to the proceedings, amounted to about 3,0001. The COURT ordered the insolvent to be liberated. POLICE INTELU GEA CE. MANSION-HOUSE.—(THIS DAY.) In The Sun of Tuesday week we gave an account of a man named Frederick Shaklesford being brought up before Sir Peter Laurie, charged with defrauding several respectable tradesmen in the City of an exten sive stock of goods, by representing himself to be a Mr. Beaumont, a draper, living at Maidstone, in Kent. To-day he underwent a further examination before the Lord Mayor and Mr. Alderman Gibbs. Several persons were examined, and preferred some fresh charges. The LORD MAYOR asked Mr. Goddard, the soli citor, whether he intended to complete his case to-day? He said certainly not, but should ask of his Lordship for a further remand, to enable him to collect other evidence.—He was then remanded till Thursday next. The justice-room was crowded during the examina tion by parties who have been the victims of the prisoner and others. 6UILDHALL—(THIS DAY.) ROBBERY BY A SERVA.ET.—Elizabeth M'Gregor was brought up before Mr. Alderman .Humphery, charged by Mrs. Luke, of Thavies Inn, Holborn, with having robbed her of various articles of jewellery, and also of money. Mrs. Luke stated that the prisoner had been a servant in her employ about a month. The day be fore yesterday the prisoner left the house without saying a word, and the witness . afterw ar d s di sc o ve red that she had taken a quantity of articles with her belong ing to the prosecutrix. • Information.was immediately: given to the police, and the prisoner was found in the neighbourhood of Oxford-street. - - When she was laken into 'elisitodv.,' - several of the articles missed by Mrs. 'Luke were - found upon her. The prisoner was remanded until next week, in order to obtain further evidence. BO W-STREET.-(TH IS DAY.) JUVENILE DEPRIVITY.—A wicked-looking little urchin, named Robert Barnes, only ten years old, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a silver guard-chain and gilt brooch, the property of Eliza Daw, his mother. Mr. Twyroup — remanded the prisoner for "a week, for the attendance of his father, and further informa tion as to what had become of the stolen property. THE. INFLAMMATORY PLACARDS.—James Crafer, a " boardman," was charged with carrying an infla matory placard, for the purpose of exhibiting it, with intent to commit a breach of the peace, in Cam den-passage, St. Mary, Islington. Police constable Thomas 'Walker, N 88, proVed the charge. The prisoner told the same tale as to his employers, &e., as the men examined yesterday (vide our yester day's report), - expressed his sorrow, and his determi nation not to offend again. Mr. TWYFORDsaid if these things were not checked early, they were likely soon to put an end to good government. . The worthy Magistrate then bound the prisoner in his own recognizances in the sum of 201. to keep the peace for two months. Inspector Harris, of the R division, obtained seven summonses against tradesmen in that district for ex hibiting the aforesaid placards, and Inspector Thatcher, of the U division, obtained two against most respect able tradesmen in the Lower-road, Islington, for the same offence. We had hoped that the timely .notice we gave yes terday of the course which the Magistrates were adopting would have rendered such vexatious pro ceedings unnecessary. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The letters received from Manchester this morning state that the town and the surrounding districts were perfectly quiet, and that the workmen showed' every disposition to return to their employment, It is now said that they never willingly struck, but did so purely from compulsion, and that they appear to have discovered that their acts will end but in their own loss, if nothing more serious arise than the non-payment of wages for the period the mills have been stopped. BUt it is feared that trade, even in the few days during which the outbreak has lasted, has received too severe a shock to allow it to attain its late position for some time to come, and that many masters who have long been working without profit, rather than wholly discharge - heir hands, will hesitate now to resume, until it • can be done with the certainty of remuneration. If such should unfortunately prove to be the case, the distress among the operatives must of necessity be great.. .Meanwhile business here is completely at a stand in consequence, with scarcely anything doing either in the produce or money markets. Consols remain at 94. for Money, and 91i . for the Account; Three per Cents. Reduced, 92i- ; Three-and-a-Half per Cents.

Great *Western have beer* sold at 88*; Birmingham, Quarter Shares, 47k, ex. div. ; South Western, 63; South Eastern Scrip, 61; and Brighton, 33k. Great exertions are again being made to reduce time speculations in Spanish and some other worthless bonds. It had been expected that the evidence adduced on the cases of the holders of the forged Exchequer bills would have been sufficient to have deterred the parties from such operations. The whole of the money thus raised is incontestibly proved to have been employed in these speculations, to the ruin of all engaged in them except the principal operator. Even at this present moment the Committee of the Stock Exchange are engaged debating upon the expulsion of certain parties who were instru mental in circulating the forged documents, but they ' would be more profitably employed in weeding the official lists, by means of which a degree of currency is given to these speculative Bonds.

LA TEST PARTICULAR S. MANCHESTER. TUESDAY EVENING, TWELVE O'CLOCK.—I have. before mentioned that the procession and meeting ta... celebrate Hunt's monument were prohibited.by. thei! authorities. It would certainly have ,-been a foctis7: for the exhibition of very excited feelings ' • but the Connnittee wisely bowed to the decisi on o f the autho- ' rities, which, on this occasion, were expressed in no equivocal terms. Bills were accordingly posted round the town, stating,, that in consequence of the very un expected excitement of the town of Manchester and. . its vicinity, occasioned by the "turn-out for an ad-. , vance of wages," they had desired that the procession and meeting in Mr. Scholefield's premises, as an nounced in former bills for this day, should .not take place, lest it should give an opportunity to increase that excitement, "the odium and consequences of which had been attempted to be fixed on the Chartist body." The meeting was announced to take place after the tea, at five o'clock ; but a long time was • spent in deliberation, as to whether any speeches should be allowed or no. After some delay, on the motion of the Rev. Mr. Jackson, a Chartist preacher Mr. Murray, was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the meeting, said that he had two or three requests to make. He hoped that persons would abstain from smoking, that they would hear every speaker patiently, and that, if any sort of interruption took place from without, they would every one keep firmly and steadily in their seats. He had an interview with • Sir Charles Shaw, who stated that if the meeting was conducted peaceably there should be no interruption. Amidst every confusion he would remain at his post, but he expected nothing but unanimity on that highly ' memorable day, the 16th of August. As a member • of the Committee he could say that everything con nected with the monument was going on very satis factorily, although, in the present excitement and, confusion of the town, it had been found impossible to carry o'ut fully their views that day. He should limit each speaker to ten minutes, so that the busi- , ness of the meeting being over, they might proceed to the dancing which was another portion of the enter- • tainments. Mr. COOPER proposed the first sentiment—" The people, the source of all legitimate power." This was a that which the Legislature could not deny, and yet,.. whilst foreigners called us the richest and most power ful nation in the world, he hesitated not to say that we were the most degraded. Statistical facts elicited by the House of Commons had shown that we were daily becoming more miserable and degraded, and we were so because that power was never in the hands of the people. It was only in the barbarian state that people were happy, and ever since they had emerged from that they had been in poverty and misery. We were called barbarians 1800 years ago, before Julius Cwsar, but men had then no wants which they could not readily supply, whilst civilisation had called into existence 10,000 wants which could not be supplied to the majority. There had been many classes having sway, but now there was another class, that of the people, who told men that they had power, and that . power they should be put in possession of.— (Tremend ous cheers.) Until the people held that power no good could result, and when they had obtained it they could then pronounce universal freedom through all the earth. Mr. DICKSON, in supporting the sentiment, said that it was often used by the tyrannical few, in their carousals, those tyrannical few: whom the people could crush with one sneeze of their nos trils. For a nation to be free it was only necessary that they willed it, and they would be free notwith standing the dazzling sword or glittering sabre which now paraded their streets. , He could acknowledge no rights mar privileges that others, had *high .he him 7 s self should not. also. enjoy. The GOd of nature de- • creed that all men should be' free, and these 'were tha• ebjects which they who were called " mad Chartists" had in view. They had learned a lesson since the working classes of Lancashire had abstained from work, and on Saturday night the shopkeepers cried out most lustily, wishing that the people would re turn to their employment. He would tell them that the working classes had a property as worthy of pro tection as the capitalist's gold, or landlord's domain. The man who would not come forward deserved to be a slave, and treated with every execration. He called upon the people to declare that if capital had its rights, labour should have no less ; that if the inani mate machine has protectiOn, those who make that machinery should also be protected. If the Govern ment of the country was in the hands of the people, he felt sure it could not be worse than it was now. The Rev. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD, another Chartist preacher, who next rose, having just come into the room, said he had arrived to explain his conduct, and the reasons why he had not been present earlier, but he had been surrounded by particular and special cir cumstances. The monument already stands ten yards.. high, and tells strongly of. the bloody deeds enacted on the day of which this was the - anniversary. His house had been besieged by friends the whole of the day, anxious to see the column of liberty. The Committee six weeks ago had little thought that such circumstances would have happened to baffle their wishes; but with a view of preserving the peace and lives of the town they had reluctantly set aside their feelings. He had told the Magistrates that they would meet quietly and peaceably over the graves of the dead, but he was told that it would be illegal and should be dispersed. On the part of Feargus O'Connor he had to inform them that he was then engaged in deliberation with those men whom they had chosen as their representatives on important national business. He, along with Dr. 111‘Douall and the executive, were then in deliberation as to steps which might guide them for weeks to come. Let them stoop to conquerthis has been one of their days, but our day is yet to come, and when it comes it will be with a vengeance. "Remember," said the speaker, " the 16th of August, with its tears, wounds, and death; but after sorrow comes pleasure." Mr. COOPER proposed a vote of thanks to Hunt's Committee for, by their politic steps, preventing the people being abused, and making another 16th of August. Mr. Scholefield was about leaving the room, when a voice from the middle called out to warn him to take care and go secretly, for .the hell-hounds would watch him ; which caution the Rev. Gentleman said he would adopt. Mr. BROXBY responded to the next sentiment, "The memory of Hunt and of the illustrious dead." Mr. Ross proposed " The National Executive, and may all their deliberations tend to promote the welfare and happiness of this great empire.' He said that that day had been by their oppressors the signal for mas sacre—for another Peterloo .mas3acre—but for the sobriety of the people bad consequences would have ensued. He would not say resist their oppressors, but bide their time. He recommended them Peaceably to adhere to the law. The eyes of all Europe were upon them, and to-morrow's sun might disclose what they knew not. 1 The Rev. 'WILLIAM JACKSON proposed the next sentiment—" The amiable but exiled Frost, and his compatriots, Williams and Jones, and may th 7 speedily be. restored to thei r coun t r y an d f r i en d s. ' These virtuous patriots were now pining in chains in a foreign land, being slowly murdered, and it was that day intended to send out more victims. He was glad to hear that glorious cry, that the workpeople had resolved to work no more until the chains of tyranny were broken asunder. They had one glo rious object in view, the Charter, and nothing but the Charter. When the Charter was the law of the land, then would these virtuous pariots come home, but not till then, and the first act of the Government would be to send out a man-of-war to fetch them hack to their country. To show their feelings of affection towards these virtuous men, by pressing more closely the Charter, let them never cease agitation till the Charter was established all over the world. Let their motto be the Charter, and nothing else. Down with Whiggism ! Down with Toryism ! Down with tyranny ! And freedom for the world. The next toast was "The democratic Press," in which a Mr. DICKSON abused in no measured terms, the whole except their own organ. The reporters, it appeared, were specially invited to the most promi nent situation on the platform only to be signalised and abused, and then to be left to the mercy of the meeting. They were, amongst other epithets, cha racterised "spies in disguise," and myself and others present were glad to make our escape with whole bones, leaving the company to enjoy the remaining festivities of the evening. About 600 or 700 persons were present, nearly half of whom were females, who equally applauded with the men the inflammatory lan guage of the evening. WEDNESDAY :MORNING, ELEVEN O'CLOCK.—I am happy to say that the town remains perfectly tran quil. The day which was most feared is over, and people are getting more confidence. In some of the bleaching and dyeing establishments the hands have returned to work without impediment.. Thousands of hands more are ready to do the same, and are only waiting the opportunity to release themselves from the trammels in which they have been placed. Busi ness is recovering confidence. 'This desirable change I attribute to the decision of the Magistrates, seconded, as they have been, so nobly by the inhabitants enrolling themselves as special constables. A meeting of delegates, at which about 3CO persons were present, was held yesterday after noon at the Hall of Science, Campfield, which drew a concourse of people. The Alderman of the ward promptly attended, accompanied by a strong civil force, and dispersed them. Another is announced for this morning at Tib-street, but I cannot vet ascertain the result. The demonstrations of force at the Town-hall are as strong as ever, and the Magistrates intend to show that the law will and can be enforced. .. r..:. MANCIIEf.
