The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale com patible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.

MONDAY EVENING, SEVEN O'CLOCK.—The latest intelligence announces that the millowners and ma nufacturers have resolved not to open their factories or resume business until a general and simultaneous plan can be adopted. For this purpose the Mayor is in constant correspondence. with the Home-office ; but before it can be followed it will be necessary to have another reinforcement of troops, as many of those who are now in town will be required for the surrounding 'districts. As soon as an alequate pro . - tection shall be insured, a day will be fixed, and duly announced, when all the factories will be opened simultaneously in spite of the threats orthe turn-outs, so that those who have an inclination, will have an opportunity of returning to their employment, and be protected in it. It is stated that at a meeting of the millowners and others, it was resolved that no employment should be offered to the people unless they accepted the terms of their employers. At three o'clock this afternoon, in consequence of information received that an open air meeting was to be held in the Granby-row-fields, there was an im posing array of military force collected opposite St. Peter s Church. It consisted of two troops of Dra goons, a company of the Coldstream Guards, and -large detachment of Rifles and the 58th Regiment. They Arent through the,:distukb*? districts and made an efficacious display ; but there was no attempt at a meeting. • It belly , feared that another attempt would be made , at four o'clock a much more imposing force, consist in addition to the above, of four hundred police and special constables; went down to Granby-row fields; but there being no opposition they marched on wards through Ancoats, back through Oldham -street, to their destination. • Some factories in Poland-street, Ancoats, have been taken as barracks, of which a large party of Fusilier Guards have taken possession. A large detachment of the 12th Lancers arrived this morning from Liverpool by special trains, having just come to that port from Dublin. In defiance of the proclamation issued to-day many meetings have been held in different parts of the town, but in private places and rooms. There has been no thing which otherwise could come within the cogni zance of the civil power. Placards, of which the following is a copy, were extensively distributed this day round the walls of the town : "RUN FOR GOLD ! ! !I Labour is suspended! Public credit is shaken ! ! ,abour is worthless ! !! " Run for gold ! Every sovereign is now worth thirty shillings. Paper cannot be cashed. Run, middle-class-men, trades, odd-fellows, sick-clubs, and money-clubs to the saving banks, and all banks , f or gold ! gold!! gold ! ! ! " At the meeting of the delegates, held at the Town hall this morning, much inflammatory language was used. A resolution was passed not to return to work until the Charter had become the law of the land. The inquest on the unfortunate man at Preston will be held to-morrow. At Wigan there was a turn out to-day, a mob of some thousand persons having entered the town, who caused upwards of 3,000 to leave their employMent. The respected curate of Wigan, in his attempt to stop the outrage, was vio lently assaulted, but no fears are entertained for the safety of the town, as there is a strong force of the 72d Highlanders. The town remains quiet, although great appre hensions are entertained for to-morrow. FURTHER PARTICULARS.

It appears that its ob jects were to decide upon what steps should be taken to-day in different parts of the town, but the only re solution of which knowledge has been obtained, is the strong recommendation of the different trades to ad here to their determination not to work under the standard wages of 1840. A t five o'clock two depu tations waited on Captain Sleigh, the Assistant Com missioner of Police, with a request to be allowed to hold two meetings, •at Campfield and Carpenters' Hall. He referred them to the Queen's proclamation just issued, informing them that if they did so it would be at their peril. No official accounts were received at the Town-hall during the night, but rumours were heard in all directions that Manchester was to be made the scene of a grand demOnstration. The bustle at the Town-hall, from a very early hour was equal to that of any portion of the most trouble some times of last week. The meeting at Stockport yesterday eveningyent off quietly, though it was found necessary to send here for a stronger military force, when a company of the 72d Highlanders was despatched by railway. At the meeting of the Magistrates yesterday at the Town-hall, which lasted some hours, it was agreed to issue a proclamation, Of which the following is a copy : "Whereas, the present disturbed state of this town and district calls for the adoption of the strongest measures for the restoration of peace and order. We, the undersigned, respectively Magistrates of the County Palatine of Lancaster and the borough of Manchester, deem it our duty publicly to make known, that all assemblages of persons in considerable num bers, having undr present circumstances a manifest tendency to endanger the public peace, and to excite the fears of her Majesty's peaceable subjects, are illegal—whatever may be their avowed object, and wherever held, and notwithstanding they may not at the time time be attended with acts of open violence. And we hereby declare our full determination to use all the means in our power to prevent and repress, and, if necessary, forcibly to put down the same. And we further caution ail well-disposed persons from joining in, or being present at, any meetings or pro cessions of this character, as they will thereby bring themselves into peril, and incur the consequences of the measures which may be adopted for the preserva- tion of the public peace.

Some thousand copies of her Majesty's procla mation have been printed and posted in all the ap proaches to 'the town to the distance of many miles, and smaller ones are also being printed to give to every person coming into town. 'None of the mills are at work, and it is feared that business will be at a complete stand to-day. The police arrangements of the town for the day are very good. Detachments of twenty men are placed at a convenient spot on every turnpike-road at eighteen different stations, so that no one can enter the town unobserved, and these stations are so arranged that if overpowered they can easily fall back upon each other, or receive reinforcements. With each of these stations a constant communication is held with the military stations, and communications from one to another are kept up through the medium of the horse police. A large meeting was held on Saturday afternoon at Stayley-bridge, and another one yesterday afternoon at Ashton, at each of which resolutions were passed that the people should not resume work until they had obtained the Charter. A great Chartist meeting was also being held at Eccles this morning at ten o'clock. Some of the prisoners will be examined at the New Dailey to-morrow. To-day may pass quietly over, butgreat apprehensions are entertained for to-morrow, being the anniversary of the affair at Peterloo. HALF-PAST ELEVEN OICLOCK.—At this date the town is quiet, and there are few persons in the streets. ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning, NOO 7I , a n d Ni g h t , t h ere by insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. they came to was Messrs. Catteral and Co.'s, whose hands they turned out, and then proceeded to Mr. F. Sleddon's, where preparations had been made for resisting the mob. A stout resistance was made, Mr. Sleddon himself being on the spot ; but they were overpowered by the immense numbers after some hard blows had been dealt out. Mr. Sleddon was slightly hurt in the affray, and a large number of squares in the factory windows were smashed. The mob then went to the factories at the west end of the town, and such as were at work were compelled to relinquish it. At Mr. Dawson's factory a few squares of glass were broken. By this time the mob had increased most wonderfully, and included a very large proportion of women and children ; but its general appearance had a more threatening aspect than at any time during yesterday. When these proceedings were going on, the' Mayor and Magistrates assembled at the Bull Inn, where the Town-clerk joined them, and it was determined to proceed to meet the rioters. This was at eight o'clock, and the public functionaries, ac companied by the detachment of the 72d, went down FiAhergate, and met the mob near Lune-street. The rioters opened two divisions fir the purpose of the military passing through ; but the orders were.to let no one pass. The mob then proceeded down Lune street, followed by the military, and when near the Corn Exchange, halted. The Biot Act was tben read, and Chief-constable Woodford, and Mr. Banister, Superintendent of Police, endeavoured to persuade the mob to retire for fear of consequences ; and while so engaged one of the rioters aimed a stone so surely at Captain Woodford that it felled him to the ground, and while there had the brutality to kick him. Im menise.beidies-nf StOties were now thrown at the police and soldiers, many of the former being much hurt, and part of the mob having gone up Fox-street they then had the advantage of stoning the military from both sides. 'Under these circumstances orders were given to fire ; the military immediately obeyed, and several of the mob fell. This did not appear to have much effect, for one fellow named Lancaster, who, I believe came from Blackburn, came out in front Of the mob, and when in the act of lifting his hand to throw a stone was singled out by one of the 72d, who fired, and he fell. This appeared to put a damper on the proceedings of the mob, and they , began to separate, the Mayor, military, and Magis trates cominc , up the street. It is scarcely known how - many have been wounded, but it is supposed from 12 to 15, some of them mortally. Five have been taken to the House of Recovery, and in course of the morning one of the five had his leg amputated above the knee, the leg being completely splintered by the ball. A lad was shot through the wrist, the ball grazing his side. It is believed his hand must be amputated. One man was shot in the back, where the ball still remains in the bone, and it cannot be extracted. Two are shot through the chest,. and one is in an exceedingly dangerous state. There is also one man shot through the wels, which protrude in a shocking manner, and he is in a most precarious state. The medical gentleman who has been engaged to attend the sufferers states that he thinks four of the wounded will not recover. As may be expected, very considerable excitement prevails. Large posting-bills.have been stuck up to announce that the Riot Act has been read, and that people are forbidden to be seen about the streets in groups. A proclamation has also been issued, and indeed the authorities are using every exertion to prevent any more assemblages. • The folloWing are the names of the individuals in the House of recovery : William Petting, 21, steam-loom weaver, in the employ of Messrs. Dawson. He was shot through the knee, and has had his leg amputated. William Lancaster, 23, one of the ringleaders, was 'shot through the body, and lingers without hope of recovery. James Roberts, 20, steam loom weaver, in the em ploy of Messrs. Gardner, is shot thrc ugh the wrist. John Mercer, 27, is shot through the body, and is noe likely to recover. Adam Hodgson was shot through the back. John M‘Namara was shot through the bowels ; no hopes are entertained of his recovery. William Moore is shot in ti.e chest, and is in a very precarious state. He worked with Mr. Paley as a cotton-spinner. The people are assembling in different parts of the town, threatening to revenge the proceedings of the morning. 150 of the 60th Rifles have arrived from Manchester. The Liverpool Albion of yesterday says at eleven on Saturday night the streets of Preston were per fectly quiet, and the morning of the Sabbath presented nothing unusual, except that the Mayor was accom p#Ueeto church by a much larger number of atten dants than usual. The scene of the commotion was visited throughout the day by many hundreds of the curious It was found that about a dozen balls had struck the premises of Mr. Coup, of the Corporation Arms, two of them perforating the wooden gateway leading to the stable, and striking a stone post at a considerable distance, against which a man was lean ing. Mr. Coup's son was leading a horse into the stable close by at the time, and both these individuals has a narrow escape, 'though not cognisant at the time of what was going on outside. A ball also struck the stone top of the front door of the inn, at which the landlord's daughter was standing, and broke off a portion of the stone close to her feet. A window of the Angel Inn, on the opposite side of Lune-street, was also broken and perforated in some of the panes by small shot or pieces of broken ball, which, it ap peared, had first struck the lamp-post opposite. On our reporter leaving Preston, at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, the town was in a state of perfect quiescence, without the slightest indication of any further disturbance being likely to arise. Some Rifles had come into the town on Saturday, and a detachment of the rural police from Bootle (thirty in number), under Mr. Superintendent Ste wart, left this town yesterday morning, so that all was quiet. It was expected that the mill hands would turn into work this morning. RIOTOUS PROCEEDINGS AT WIGAN. than any other in this district, no futile , injury. w a s hop se of done them. The mob then proceeded to a poor-rate collector, who is very unpopula • witi ► the working classes, broke every pane of bs ss it I his house, demanded his books and papers„ which uvere soon committed in fragments to the wi ads, strew, ing the streets in all directions.

WIGAN, MONDAY EVENING, 7 o'cLocK.—A riot ous and strange mob, amounting in number to some thousands, entered this town to-day, armed with bludgeons. They immediately proceeded to the varioua mills, collieries, and factories, stopped the en gines, and turned upwards of 3,000 persons out of employment. Having;, effected rthis outrage, they marched out of the town with savage yells of ex ultation towards the seat of the Earl of Balcarres, at Hay, in which neighbourhood there are a great numb;r of collieries. On their passage through the town, they committed no other violence to property than demanding provisions from the shopkeepers, which were of course given them. One of the curates of Wigan (Rev. Mr. Bessell) on endeavouring to remora strate with them was struck by a ruffian on the head; but he suffered no material injury. The principal streets are crowded with peaceable operatives, and no fears are entertained for the safety of the town, unless the disorderly mob returns at midnight, which is much to be apprehended, A company of the 72d Highlanders, under the command of Captain Balfour, is stationed in the town, ready to act promply, when required. A disturbance is reported to have taken place at Hind ley, four miles from this place, and Captain Balfour has despatched thirty soldiers there, at the request of the County Magistrates. Hindley contains many cotton-mills, and all the hands have this day been turned out. - Every inhabitant of Wigan and the surrounding townships have closed their shops, warehouses, &c., and business is totally suspended. Upon the shutters of several of the closed shops the Chartists have posted copies of resolutions entered into at the Sherwood Inn, Manchester, to the effect that the workmen there had resolved not again to resume work until the People's Charter became the law of the land. The bludgeons with which the mob were armed were very formidable and destructive weapons, about half a yard in length, and about the thickness of a constable's staff. There was a great uniformity in their appear ance, and they seemed as if they were all from the same manufactory. After turning out the workmen, the mob staved for some time near to the Wigan station of tie North Union Railway, watching the arrival and departure of the several trains, the passen gers in which were alar me d a t th e i r vociferous shouts, and the terrific manner in which they brandished the bludgeons over their heads in demoniac triumph.

A great meeting of colliers and potters took place in Hanley Market-place this morn ing at nine o'clock : a body of colliers proceeded from thence to a coal-work where some men were em ployed, returned to the town, set at liberty some pri soners for light offences, stripped the Police-office of the books, papers, &c., which were torn to atoms and strewed about the streets.

Aided by an eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material so that acids do not aficct it ; it is now so well known and appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its uses.

PRESTON. (From the Second Edition -.of tke Preston Pilot of Saturday.) A meeting of operatives was held in Chadwick's orchard last night, about nine o'clock ; and though the numbers in attendance were considerable, the crowd was not anything like what might have been anticipated. A detachment of the 72d were lodged in the assembly-room of the Bull. Inn, and were under arms all night. It was scarcely anticipated that any measures would have been taken by the mob to prevent the factories being started this morn ing at the usual time. However, on one of the bells being rung at a little before six o'clock, the mob, which had assembled a short time previously in Chadwick's orchard, marched towards the:North-road (the direc tion in which the bell bad fling), and the first factory VAUXHALL GARDENS. The price of admission to this delightful summer evening lounge is now reduced to one shilling. Monday evening was the first of the season in which the Gardens have been thrown open to what John Wilson Croker cads " the shiny." public." " The shilling public" testified its approbation of the new arrangement 11 a very numerous attendance. The ,rar dens were brilliantly illuminated, and shortly after.eight o'clock the concert commenced. This u - as succeeded by the equestrian performances in the Rotunda, in the course of which Mademoiselle Caroline elicited thunders of applause by her series of elegant and graceful exer cises on two horses. Why are not these equestrian ex ercises exhibited in the open air ? There is ample space in the gardens for an arena, and the Ro tunda is so small, that not half of those who visit the gardens can find accommodation in it, and of those who do, the greater portion repent them of their good fortune before the performances are over, and are even more desirous of getting out, on account of the suffocating heat, than they had been of getting in ; but such is the close pac.eing, that egress is impossible. After the equestrian performances came the wonderful slack-rope exercises of the "Flemish Sprite of Antwerp," decidedly the first slack-rope per former that has appeared since the days of Antonio. The most extraordinary.per:Ormatr c of the evening, was the ascent on the inclined rope of Julie Due This young lady who does nut appear more than sixteen years of age, ascended a rope stretched from near the ground to the top of one of the tallest trees in the Italian Walk, amidst au explosion of fireworks. Her performances are most wonderful. The conflagration of Hamburgh, with a brilliant display of fireworks, concluded the evening's entertainment. During the course of the evening Herr Joel, the German Siffleur, gave his imita tions and there were bands playing in different parts of the grounds. It would add much to the attractions of this delightful place if a few more benches and seats were provided in the open air. The gardens were crowded. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—A few months since a number of Socialists managed to gain an audience with se veral of the new Cabinet Ministers, and were most graciously received. One, at least, of the sages to whom the Government was committed, expressed his acknowledgments for the light which had been thus communicated. We allude to the circumstance, because we think it fur nishes a clue to what would otherwise be difficult of solution. Of course, those who had so unex pectedly become enlightened, would endeavour to enlighten others. They would not conceal, but would • rather endeavour to impart, views and doctrines calculated to work surpassing benefit to the community; seeing . those doctrines at once develope the cause, and propound the cure, of the evils which afflict the working population. One of those evils, according to the " new Social system," is that " the distress of -the ,working classes arises from scientificand mechanical power producing more than the existing regulations of society permit to be consumed." This was espe cially dwelt upon by the Socialist deputies in their interview with the Cabinet Ministers The effect of this clear exposition of the evils which afflict our social condition, was almost immediate upon the members of the Government. The seed fell on soil ready prepared for its reception. Machi nery, improved by scientific discoveries, has oc• casioned the distress of the country, by producing a greater quantity of our manufactures than the existing regulations of society will allow of being consumed, was regarded as a solution of the pro blem at once easy and flattering to those who were predetermined to accept ofanysophism rather than apply themselves honestly and heartily to search into the cause, and apply the remedy. The ad vocates. of commercial restrictions immediately became converts to the Socialist dogma. In Parliament and out of doors, by the sup porters of Government in the • House of Commons, and by its organs of the Press, nothing else is now heard but the mischief- Working powers of machinery. • With • our better-instructed readers, we may incur the blame of reiteration if we devote an article to such worthless dogmas. We believe there is not, within the whole compass of political eco nomy, a fact more capable of demonstration than that the application of scientific power, and the various improvements which have been effected in machinery, so tar from causing popu lar-distress, have counteracted, in a consider able degree, the effect of our absurd commercial laws and accumulating national debt ; and have, as yet, averted a national bankruptcy. The steam engine has fought our battles, and pays the inte rest of our debt. If improved machinery did not tend to reduce the expense of producing manu factured goods, we could neither sell our fabrics in the foreign market, nor keep our inferior lands in cultivation. The low rate .of wages paid for labour on =the Continent would wholly exclude the English manufacturer from the possibility of competition with his Continental rival, while home consumption would be contracted, because of the utter inability of the agriculturist to pur chase what, from its high price, would be utterly beyond his reach. Were it not for the application of that very scientific power and improved machi nery towhich the organsofthe monopolists foolishly and falsely attribute the distress of the country, the whole of our foreign trade would be annihi lated, and one-half of the land be thrown out of cultivation. We repeat—and with a confidence increased by the result of the investigation which the pertinacity of our opponents has rendered it imperative on us to undertake, for the purpose of repelling their incessant and varied attacks upon machinery—that the widely-spread and deeply seated distress of the country will be found to originate in far different causes to those on which they are charged by the Post, the Herald, and such like oracles. We unhesitatingly refer them principally to those barbarous restric tions upon commerce, that deprive us of the coutimied sources of the prosperity which, in the natural course of events, and under a system of free external trade, improvements in manufac tures would open to a country whose doMestic agriculture can be no further extended without a diminished rate of return upon capital. The only appropriate remedy for this evil is to re move the restrictions upon foreign trade;,to per mit the national industry to flow in its , natural channels. Thus the power of consuming will be made to increase with the power of producing. Popular discontent, disaffection, and disorgani zation, caused by popular distress, will cease with its provocative; and the return of com mercial prosperity will restore and secure the perpetui t.! of domestic peace. STANDARD.—The present is not a fitting titre to dwell upon the consideration of the im inefli:e authors, or the immediate causes of .the .n ri', Ins that have driven the populace of Lan e.t,. ire to transgress the laws.. " Mows comp°- • nere fluctus" will be the first care of conscraii- Lions men is all such cases; and in the particu lar instance there is more reason to reserve the truth, if it should happ en that the guilty parties are persona most di rec tly in the power, and most obviously obn o xi ous t o the vengeance of an I:filleted and oppressed class. Sparing, however, the men and t h e means , by whom and by which the working m anu f ac t u rers have been stung to the commission o f folly, there can be nu good reason for th e like -:(prbearance with reference to-remote influences; - Upon the Whigs. then, in the first. instance, we charge the crime of teaching the people to despise the laws. For tiny years and more they have tbstered the principle of political Intimidation. For upwards of half a century they have sedulously taught the 'lesson that in the physical force of the populace there exists a rightful authority above .the au• thority of Queen, Lords, and Commons, and of course an authority entitled to dispense at pleasure with the enactments of the sovereign Legislature recognised by the Constitution. Having installed this despotism of the populace, the Whigs have armed it with intimidation as the instrument by which it is to enforce its will. How often this process of intimidation has been resorted to with more or less success is proved by the meeting at St. Peter's-fi e ld, this day is the anniversary —th e Spa-fields and other similarof about meetingsin 1819—of which the same time, of all which the Whigs were the promoters and apologists—the meetings of 1831, at Birming ham, Bristol, Nottingham, &c., where they taught those lessons ,of rebellion for learning , which they hauged.tt - gir pupils. - - The_B4 ! isemialy of vast4tasses is,levrever, but one, and 'Mat alone the/ least eflicieat means of intimidation; conspiracy is another, and a more dangerous instrument. It was by the combination of both that they forced the Reform. Bill, which they vainly hoped would give them a perpetuity of office. Can any one, then, wonder that 50 yearsof labour to create a tyranny of the populace, during the last 11 years of which 50 the authors and flatterers of the tyranny have held the government of the country —can any one, we ask, wonder that a tyranny so anxiously cre ated and so flattered, does not quietly resign its power? Is not the wonder on the other hand, that the populace have exercised their fancied despotism as rationally and as mildly as they have exercised it? It is not the want of Whig advice and encouragement, still less is it the influence of unworthy fear that has saved the country from a Republican revo;• good sense and Christian it ans p is irit ti o le f t i h n e st n in at e i t o i n? ln Chartism, time necessary successor of the political unions—in the Anti-Corn-lawLeague, the child of their dotage, the Whigs have, however, left scourges that will prevent an oblivion of their early lessons of popular despotism. The Whigs have taught to control the sovereign Legislature by intimidation, and they have left Chartists and Leaguers to practise the lesson they have taught. Here, then, we have adequate causes for the exist ing disorders, and for disorders much more cri minal and dangerous, among any people upon the face of the earth except the people of Eng land ; and surely it cannot be disputed that these causes are fairly assigned to the present events. What is the principle of the movement in the manufacturing districts? Is it not intimidation? Intimidation, in the first instance directed against the industrious workmen, willing, if per mitted, to continue honestly earning the means of supporting their families; but intimidation ultimately directed against the Legislature. It is not, however, merely the fact that the Chartists and Leaguers have been the only teachers of the poor people ; now arrayed against the law, which fixes upon them and upon their Whig teachers the guilt of the present state of 'affairs—they predicted it ; and all know that to predict disorder is in all cases to promote it; nay. some of the Leaguers threatened distinctly to resort to those very means, which, by placing large bodies of labourers in the alternative of starvation or rebellion, apply the match to the . mine. For the reasons which we stated at our commencement, we.,Will not pursue this. part' of the ingnir'y fic-ther. THE RIOTS IN TIIE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS.— Dispatches were received by Sir James Graham at the Home Office at an early hour yesterday from Man chester and oth( r disturbed places. Dispatches were also received at the Horse Guards from the commanding officer of the troops recently sent into that district, which we hear give a favourable account, and that it is not at present intended to send any reinforcement to the mili tary in that quarter. If, however, a necessity should arise, every precaution has been taken to have them dispatched on the shortest notice. Mr. Wm. Brown, a Magistrate of Leeds, had rather a long interview with Sir James Graham this morning ; some short time after wards Lord Fitzroy Somerset visited the Hon. Baronet at the Home.office. Tn. ALARMING STATE OF THE COUNTRY.—The Executive Committee of the Metropolitan Anti-Corn law Association held a meeting yesterday at the Asso ciation's rooms, Wrest Strand, for the purpose of consi dering. the .teps which ought to be adopted b y the Association in the present alarming stake of the country. The unprincipled attempt of the monopolist Press and of ,be Prime Minister to insinuate a connexion between the disturbances in the North and the opinions and ope rations of the Anti-Corn-lawLeague, w as brought under the consideration of the meeting, and strongly depre cated. It was finally arranged that . a meeting of the various branches of the Association shall take place at the Association's rooms on Thursday next, at one o'clock. A new system of equitation has been introduced into the French Army by M. Baucher, and the military critics speak in high terms of its success. The plan not only teaches the young soldier to have a good seat on horseback. but instructs the Cavalry in general in the shortest and best mode of breaking in young and refrac tory horses for the service. The process has been lately submitted to Marshal Soult, who approves of the practical effects he has witnessed. It would appear that the lead i_young and viscious horses , consists in g ivin g su pp leness anLperlailsictiicpilteyotfo the vertebrae system, as regards the breaking of r of the animal's neck.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Monday, at twelve o'clock, an inquest was held at the sign of the Compasses, Little Guildford-street, Southwark, before Mr. W. Carter, Coroner for Surrey, and a respectable Jury, on view of the body of John Palk Fenn, a rite youth, aged 16 years, who was drowned off Mason's-stairs, Bankside, on Tuesday evening last, under the following distressing circumstances :—lt appeared that the deceased, who was apprenticed to Mr. Las Cases, a c ooper in the neigh bourhood, left home in company with a youth, named William Chance, to bathe in the river, and after having remained in the water for some time his companion (Chance) advised him to come out and dress himself.

Syra. i:.; BURSLEM, MONDAY MORNING.— The whole district is involved in a-state of general confusion. Meetings were held this morning, which were numerously attended, and at which nothing was admitted but the People's Charter:. All the pits are stopped, and the " turn outs" have compelled both potters, carpenters, brick layers, and other artificers to abstain from won't, and join in their revolutionary proceedings. A very general opinion prevails that in the course of the day the mob will be reinforced by.several thousand ram from the neighbourhood of Manchester. It -was expected that in the course of the day a party of men from Leek or Congleton, would march to the district, and, being reinforced by the turn-outs at Hanley, would proceed to Burslem. This informa tion has naturally excited some consternation in the neighbourhood. ✓ Special constables are at this very moment being sworn in, and the troops are quite pre pared for a resolute and determined encounter, if the state of things should render it necessary. Groups of beggars are still perambulating the district, and, not, content with soliciting charity, they have the audacity to fix the amount of contribution which they expect to receive from their benefactors. The several OMIIIbUS drivers were assured this morning by the men that when they returned the whole of the Potteries would be found in a blaze. BIRMINGHAM. MONDAY.—At present all remains in quietness and uncertainty ; but the repeated meetings of the colliers,. not by hundreds alone but in thousands, coupled ILA these are with the exaggerated accounts from Man chester, begin to excite more than usual alarm in the. minds of the inhabitants. The strike has now extended throughout the length and breadth of the Staffordshire and Warwickshire collieries. In the southern part of the county and the districts bordering on Birmingham, Wolverhamp ton, Walsall, and Dudley, there is scarcely a pit at work. It will hence be seen that the vast population embraced in a circle of some twenty miles in diame ter, inhabiting the towns and villages from Stour bridge to Cannock, and mostly dependent for their subsistence on occupations which require a large supply of coal, must shortly be thrown cut of work unless the colliers resume their avocations. But there are certain obstacles existing to the ac complishment of this desirable object. The colliers in South Staffordshire, under the guid ance of Chartist agitators, have resolved, almost una nimously, to abstain from work until every master in the district agrees to their terms; there is a specific clause in one of their . printed regulations, that even though a part oFthe employers should consent to give the wages demanded of them, these terms are not to, be accepted by the colliers until every master in the district shall have done the same. In other words, it would appear that one master may be allowed to coerce, not only all the men, but all - his fellow mas ters in the district. The Chartist O'Neill proposed the resolution to which I have adverted, and it was adopted unani mously at a meeting of 12,000 colliers. It has been ratified by similar meetings, and may be considered to have received the sanction of 40,000 persons in the. I district. Such a resolution is tantamount to an eter nal holiday. These 40,000 persons have pledged themselves to this, and having done so, they are called upon to adopt another resolution, that they will not work until the Charter becomes the basis of the Con stitution. Unless some speedy steps are adopted, and those steps are of a very energetic character, we can see nothing but confusion and distress among a population of some half million. WEST BROM WICH. MoNPIY.—The colliers in this immediate district have evinced considerable restlessness ever since the news from Lancashire has been communicated to them. Joined to this, the resolution of the masters, who assembled at Dudley, on Saturday, has given them great dissatisfaction ; and while some are dis posed to view the strike as. useless, and are anxious to return to work on any conditions, others are_ resolved to brave it out, and to force their fellows to continued acquiescence. __ This morning (Monday) a meeting of the colliers, nailors, and forgemen, WAS held at Holly-hall, near Dudley. The number present was at least 10,000; and they were addressed by the usual speakers in harangues of a most inflammatory nature. Wheth er their determination was assumed or hearty, they appeared equally unanimous in their resolutions not to yield in one particular to the employers. During the last day or two there have been rumours of projected violence, and some apprehension has been entertained for the safety of the Staffordshire Gas 'Works; but there. is reason to believe that so long as O'Neill is at the head of the " turn. outs" no violence need be anticipated. DUDLEY. MONDAY EVENING.—A repdrt was general in I3ir mingham this morning that a great meeting was to be held in Dudley this day, and that it was the de termination of the Magistrates to apprehend O'Neill and other Chartist leaders, who are unquestionably the great obstacles to an amicable arrangement be tween the master colliers and their men. The ru mour led to a general muster of the colliers, and as the place of meeting fixed upon (Russell-green) was much more central than Swan-village, West Brom wich, the attendance was very numerous. There were not less than from 8,000 to 10,000 persons pre sent. At West Bromwich, although for some weeks past it has been the focus of discontent, there had been few: acts of violence, and not more than about 200 of the working population of that neigh bourhood had marched for the meeting at Dudley. The works at the various pits in the vicinity were, however, generally closed; ant this morning several of the proprietors had drawn their horses, which had hitherto been at work, up the shafts of their colliery establishments. This looks like a determination to resist the demand of the men. Both men and mas ters are determined. At Dudley the authorities are upon the alert, and every necessary precaution had been taken to pre serve the public peace. The Vicar, Mr. T. Badger, Captain Bennett, and • Mr. Cartwright, were in at tendance at the Dudley Arms, and a detachment of the 3d .Dragoons, assisted by the Worcestershire Yeomanry Cavalry, were in perfect readiness to act, if their services were required. It would appear that these precautionary steps were not altogether unnecessary. This morning at an early hour a number of men employed at Lord Ward s open-work collieries in this neighbourhood were sud •denly surprised by an attack made by some hundreds of the turn-out colliers. The men were obliged to fly for their lives. The overlooker was dreadfully cut about the head ; one of the men was thrown into the reservoir ; another had his arm broken, and all of the unfortunate fellows, who were peacefully and indus triously earning their bread, were in one way Gr other dreadfully maltreated. Another meeting is appointed to be held in th i s vicinit y on Thursday next, and, as a matter of course, business, as to day, will be again suspended, and the middle classes of society, sworn in as special constables or yeo manry cavalry, are put to very considerable incor , venience. Dudley is at this moment in a state of great un the meeting thatt nag h held at not il un easiness. The streets are thronged with idlers. Th e lan g ua g e a g e - o h f al ? O'Neill -day, N d . as Cook,so guarded, a t deemed expedient to apprehend' them. In the neighbourhood all is quiet. ALARI4 Al' DERBY. EXPECTATION OF THE TURN-OUTS.
