We learn with satisfaction from Manchester and its neighbourhood that the people are .returning rapidly to their work. Notwithstanding the threatening ap pearances in some other quarters we are steadfast in our hopes that the crisis is over, and that we may look day . after day for a return of tranquillity and the resump tion of useful labour. .To this speedy termination of what has been a very alarming-, not to say, terrific, turn out, the abundant harvest, with the prospect which that affords, has contributed, we believe, quite as much ae the energetic measures of the Ministers. Had the circtnnstances been different, had there been no strong temptation to return to work, the restora tion of tranquillity would have been a much more diffi - cult task. The view we have already taken on this subject has been so well expressed by Mr:B. Hn - r 7 WOOD, a gentleman long known for his philanthrophy —we may almost call him, we believe, the BIRK DECK of his district—that we beg leave to transcribe it. In an affectionate letter, addressed to the work ing men of Manchester, he says— I believe you to be men of sense, intelligence, and right feeling ; and not even the sad events which are going on around us, have been able to shake my confi dence in you. I have felt deeply for you in your long season of distress ; you have been sorely tried, and have borne patiently sufferings almost beyond human endurance. How stands the matter with you ? By an unlooked-for movement you have been driven from your work, and are called upon not to return to it again until you have secured higher wages, and obtained the People's Char ter. At the very moment when better times seems to be at hand, and trade to be reviving, and when, by the blessing of Providence, a good harvest appears to be in store for you, bringing with them, as they assuredly would do, both higher wages and cheaper food ; at the mown it when, from long distress, your resources must be exhausted, you have been thrown out of work, and told than, by a suspension of labour, your condition will most s . ?eedily be bettered. The workmen have seen, as well as Mr. HEYWOOD, that bet tor times are at hand, thanks to the beneficence of the A t 4 MIGHTY, and the patience of the people them selves, bu t no thanks to our heartless rulers, who have indeeu 1 praised that patience, but have obstinately and wanton ly refused to relieve the deepest distress • that ever wa s inflicted on a people . by the legislation of a so-cal led paternal Government. Now, however, that the storm has subsided for the present, be the cause of the lull what it may, the question arises how the -people are to be treated. To enable the public and the Government to form a just and a kind opinion ~:pn the subject, let us at once remind them that the is,Tur n-outs have, in fact, had at their mercy ' , the 'bulk of the property of the great towns of the 'tUirt'i, and that they have committed comparatively very few outrages. Not less, we believe, than half a 4•111illion• of persons have been involved in these corn , motions ; they have perambulated the country for ten fr , days, and they have inn the manufacturing districts been guilty of few or no acts of robbery or personal violence beyond those necessary for obtaining their object o:stopping the mills. Our N , lumps (says the Leeds Mercury) are filled with partiegle rs of the strangest and wildest Holulay-Insur rectionAl tat has ever been attempted,—an Insurrection condieto 1 in the name of "peace, law, and 'order !"—an InsuLrect ion the most extensive, yet in some respects the most hart nless, known in the modern history of Eng land,—an Insurrection more foolish than wicked in the dupes whop have caught the contagion, but we fear much more wie iced than foolish in the leaders who planned it. We re)oice (adds that journal) to perceive —and we metrtion 1.: to the credit of the bulk of the turn-outs— that there kilts been so wonderful an abstinence from all violence but that required to suspend labour.:They have not injured machinery, nor damaged work, nor plun ders d counting-houses or warehouses. In Lancashire and Yorkshire, , at least, the mischief done by so exten sive , an insurrection is incredibly small ; and the absence of all cruelty, of all malice, and of all rapine (except in some < (aes a kind of half-begging, half-taking, to sup ply thi immediate cravings of hunger), is one of the mo s t as , tonish 4 ng things we ever knew, and speaks well for the A earts o,` a population who have suffered so much distress.. In the same Jou. "nal is a letter, dated Barton, near Mulches ter, Aug. 17; a which this is an extract : UGUST 17.—We are Igre almost as tranquil as in the purely agricultural distrids- All that we see of the public agitation is to be fourtd in bands of men, women, and'• children, assembling in Wall bodies, and visiting the :farmers to excite their charity And obtain their bene voiet ce. I will give you a specimen :—We had here 'Ts ui day one of these bands, consisting of about forty per s ieu the half of whom were dc hildr9n, and the other .h a lf an 6 n and women, about in equal numbers. Their cone tact ,and demeanour was per_rectly respectful and or , derl I:hey said that they came. to ask for advice and assis tome e; that they were in great d• evens; that some of them mad ordered to leave their Nyack b-v,the turn-outs, .and '*hers c 'uld not obtain work from the warehouses be cause.' their ma'sters refused to give out weaving till the dis putesiwere settle Others seemed to bevvoluntary turn-outs. The A nswer rete tned to this application was, that their situati, on was muchqo be pitied—that they had no doubt from th igh price of ro- great ause of p l aint visiona , c and the com low' sa te of their w ages ; but that t hese were e vils that were,. hot to be remeeted by such con duct at ; had lately takeu place at Manchester. This advi' ;they received with no rudeness or ill-temper, and ~~ 4.1100.5 r-...... they retired without a single expression of incivility or disrespect. It is re marks that whatever interruptio n has been given by the t -outs to other kinds of labo ur, none 3 , w h a tever has n interposed in the way of the hus bandman, at this important crisis of the harvest ; nor have I heard of any depredations committed in the way of plunder, or of wantonness upon the crops. The bands of men that are passing from place to place have no arms, at least none visible, except that man y of them carry a'kind of rustic walking stick ; they avoid stu diously marching in anything like military order, and they have a sort of police of their own, to whom they confide the preservation of the peace. Now, considering the situation of these people, their great and long-endured distress, tantalized with the sight of property that would relieve their wants, we ajree with the Leeds Mercury, that the general con duct of the Turn-outs speaks well for their hearts and their morals. They have been beguiled—perhapa they are in error ; they have been grievously mis taken—and so has, in our estimation, Sir R. PEEL been, without being exposed to their severe tempts,- tion to go astray ; they have foolishly expected to better their condition by throwing themselves out of work, but beyond this unfortu:nate delusion, their eor. duct has rarely been censurable. Stich people deserv e to be treated with great consideration, elreii with great kindness by the Government, and we should hope that their temporary aberration will not be thotight to call for either temporary severity or the permanent establishment of a military tyranny. Let Sir R. PEEL not listen to the demands of factious writers, or timid men of property, who are at any time ready to sacrifice_ the public liberties to their own selfish a nd fancied 1 security, but let him do justice and deal generously and confidently with the intelligent men of the North, and the Government will have no reason to repent of departing from the hackneyed and always mischievous employment of severity. The Turn-outs have displayed not only great for bearance but great power. They have startled the country from end to end. They have already put the Government on its metal. Ireland and the agricul tural districts, no very safe places, have been left un ' guarded with troops to collect a large army in Lanca ' shire and Yorkshire. The funds have been shoken,bu siness has been suspended, property has been alarmed, and a repetition of such a turmoil may not pass so lightly away. It is impossible but that railway engineers, railway guards, police, shopkeepers, and a great body of men not now connected with the Turn-outs must deeply sympathise with them and be driven to side with them if they be treated with harshness. To enforce the law with rigour, which, by the people, is somewhat despised as a mere tool of a class or a party, to stretch it beyond its ordinary line, to do which we nee a disposition in some Magistrates, will only irritate the masses and provoke greater and more fatal insur rections than the present. The system of terror has long been tried both here and abroad, and has led in variably from bad to worse. From public meetings untimely' suppressed have grown partial risings like that at Newport, and from partial risings, successfully, indeed, put down by the strong hand, while nothing was done to conciliate the people, have sprung a general insurrection. Our people, we have said before, and we insist on it now, cannot be governed ' by terror, they cannot be coerced into obedience to an unjust system by a military force, and there is no safe alternative for the Government, but to treat them with kindness and confidence, and begin as speedily as pos sible to undo its own acts of injustice. EXPENSE OF COMMISSION S.--By the Parliamentary Paper, No. 449, it appears that the cost of Commis sions, appointed within the last few yew's, to prose cute various inquiries, and carry on new branches of tho Administration, has been no less than 1,128,6261. Of this sum the Poor-law Commission has absorbed 359,1181., exclusive of 6,5651., the cost of the Com mission for the inquiry into the operation of the old Poor-laws. 'The Commissioners for inquiring into public charities have cost the country, since 1831, 79,3671. The expense of the Commission to inquire into the best system of railways for Ireland, the Re port of which remains a dead letter, was 24,8421. No less than 140,722/. has been expended on the Com mission for settling the claims of the slave-owners ; and 20,414/. has been swallowed up by a Commission to adjudicate on claims of British subjects on the French, Spanish, and Danish Governments. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITI, SATURDAY EVENING._ The general opinion held in the City upon the sub ject of the outbreak in the North is, that as far as present consequences are concerned, nothing more is to be feared ; much gloominess, however, hangs over the future, but chiefly as far as the men themselves are concerned. Business is now apparently about to recommence in the usual track, the exhibition by daylight last evening through the principal thorough fares of a number of boys and girls, having taught the citizens exactly the danger they have to fear. The Money Market became heavy at the close of business, occasioned partially by some sales, and by the intelligence from the North of Europe, published in the second edition of The Sun. This corroborates a piece of intelligence which appeared some days since, of an attempt having been made on the life of the Emperor of Russia, by means - of instruments con cealed in a chair. Consols left off at 91i sellers for the Account ; Bank Stock, 170 171 ; India Stock, 250 251; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51 prem. The prices of Foreign Securities were—Belgian, 1014 1021 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 52 521 ; the Five per Cents., 1011 1024; Danish, 82i 833- ; and Brazilian, 65 66. The quotation for Mexican was 34+ for Money, and 35 for Time. Business in Shares concluded very dull—London and Birmingham were, 180 182, ex div. ; Bir mingham and Gloucester, 48 49 ; Great Western, 87 88 ; the Half Shares, 62 62i ; South Western, 624 63 ; North Midland, 56 58 ; the New Shares, 27* 28* ; South Eastern and Dover, 21f 22*; Eastern Counties, 9* 9i ; Northern and Eastern, 38i 39, ex inf.; Blackwall, 8i 9* ; and Brighton, 331 33* per share. The Weekly Average of the Liabilities and Assets of the Bank of England, during the twelve weeks ending the 13th inst., when compared with that for a like period terminating the 16th ult., gives the following results : LIABILITIES. Circulation, now £18,952,000 ~, last time 18,279,000 Increase 673,000 Deposits, now ... last time 8,565,000 Increase 765,000 Increase in Liabilities £1,438,000 ASSETS. Securities, now £22,525,000 ... last time 21,713,000 Increase.— Bullion, now £ 8,496,000 last time 7,818,000 Increase 678,000 ....... .... A:1,490,000 Increase in Assets Balance of Assets Rest, now X 2,739,000 ••• last time 2,687,000 Increase X52,000 These figures present the points worthy of notice. The one, the increase in the circulation and in the se curities, which is to be attributed to a revival in trade, the expansion consequent upon the J u ly di v id en d s having appeared in the former return, when it exhi bited an increase over that for June of 484,0001., and which consequently has to be excluded from this ac count. The other, the amount of bullion which at this peculiar season of the year, with the prospect of the harvest, and the states of the exchanges preclude the probability of any great drain for the payment of foreign corn. Compared with August, 1841, the circu lation has increased by 1,724,0001., the deposits by 1,374,000/. ; the securities are less by 487,000/., and the bullion more by 3,390,000/. The Income-tax in itself is sufficiently odious, and was only made palatable by the promise that the working-classes would be relieved by the amount necessary for the purposes of the State being raised by a more equal distribution of the burden among those who were better able to bear it. A report has been current to-day, which, if it be correct, is to be deeply lamented—it is to the effect that a firm, ranking among the first of any in the metropolis, are about this evening to deduct one shilling from the wages of each of their workmen, avowedly to enable the masters to pay the tax, and that next week others will follow their example. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have at length resolved upon the expulsion of two of its mem bers, who were mainly instrumental in negotiating the forged Exchequer bills: After a careful perusal of the evidence, it appears difficult to exculpate any of the parties from a want of common prudence in the various transactions, but it is equally difficult to dis cover, by the same authority, why these should have been particularly singled out. Such a mass of over reaching money-getting trickery w as, perhaps, never disclosed in any history ; that in the first commercial capital, forged instruments, lodged by parties of such a standing, and under the most suspicious circum stances, should have been allowed to circulate, for upwards of five years, to the amount of nearly six millions sterling, and without the slightest reserve, avowedly for the purpose of garabling in Foreign TD E SUN, LONDON, Bonds. The Committee have frequently been called upon to remove some of these from the official lists, and strong memorials were sent in not to allow a place in them for the coverted Spanish Stock ; bad they thus been attended to, much of the present evil would have been averted. FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL. BRUSSELS the Prince of Leintrigen has just arrived at Bru.s: r herrir!sg andprincess of Saxe Gotha, coming from Ostend, arrived this day at the Palace of Brussels. Their . Majesties the King and Queen, in deep affliction for the death of the Duke of Orleans, do not yet receive visitors at Lacken. The King came after dinner to Brussels to see his nephew and niece. Yesterday the Minister of War reviewed all the troops of the garrison. It was observed that many soldiers were taken ill in consequence of excessive heat.

GOTHA, AUGUST 12.—A dreadful fire broke out yesterday in the village of Tambach ; the flames were driven by the wind, and spread with such rapidity, that all exertions to check them were in vain. Of 820 houses, 142 were burned, besides the church and the buildings attached to it. By this calamity, 1,400 persons have lost their all. MONZUNGEN ON THE NAHE, AUG. 13.—Yester day wine was drank in the house of M. Fuak, made this year from, the produce of his own vineyard. It was excellent. In general we expect that the vintage will be of a superior quality, for the weather which we have had, for some weeks past has contributed to the early ripening of the grape. We remember that in the remarkable year 1811, the first wine was tried a week later, and this was considered something very extraordinary. . _ _ . • - --- - FRANKFORT, AUG. 15.—The speculators in our wine district, expecting a very productive year, flat-. tered themselves that the meeting of the Deputies of the Customs Union at Stutgard would comply with their wishes, expressed in a petition, and impose a very heavy duty on the importation of French wines. We learn, however, that this petition has not had the desired effect, the Deputies being resolved not to enter upon a course that might lead to prohibition and reprisals, the consequences of which would be very injurious.

Another portion of the Niger expedition arrived at Woolwich yesterday, only six persons of the Albert steam-vessel, including Corporal Edmonds, having survived the effects of the climate and river fever. The rest of the Royal Sappers and Miners who ac companied the boats of the expedition are also on their way to England. It is reported that a hundred of the oldest Captains in the Navy, not under 60 years of age, are to be allowed to retire with the rank of Rear-Admiral on 20s. per day. - LAW AND POLICE. Upwards of 100 prisoners from the disturbed dis tricts have been lodged in York Castle, while the ori ginal calendar itself contains no fewer than 137 pri soners. The trial of the latter alone will occupy three weeks. William poorhouse and John Townsend were tried at the York Assizes on Friday for a burglary in the house of the Rev. James Nelson, at Warby, and sen tenced on two indi c t men t s t o e transported for 15 years There are at present 397 prisoners in Newgate, 265 of whom are males, and 92 females. A meeting of the firm of Messrs. Acramans, Mor gan, and Co.'s bankruptcy was held at Bristol on Saturday, at which Mr. Thomas Holroyd, one of the bankrupts, passed his examination on his personal estate. LIMERAIZT AND SCZENTXPEC. An doge was pronounced last week at the Institute in Paris, by Baron Walokenaer, on the late Major Rennell. COURT-FASHIONABLE. The Duke of Hamilton left town last week for Holyrood House, Edinburgh. The Archbishop of York has, arrived at Bishops thorpe, his palace, near York. . The Marquis and 'Marchioness of Camden will see company next week at the Wilaerness, Kent. Lord and Lady Walsingham have arrived at Merton Hall, near Thetford. - - Lord Stanley and Major Graham have had excel lent sport on Bewoastle-moors. Farl Howe iH still residing at Gopsall Hall. The Earl and Countess of Kinnoull left Hamden House on Saturday, for Scotland. The Countess of Beverley came to town on Satur day, from Richmond. Viscount and Viscountess Beresford are expected to pass the autumn at Brighton. Colonel and Lady Alice Peel returned to town on Friday, from a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Ailsa, at Isleworth. IVIISOMANEOUS. The Lady-dav in harvest was celebrated at Lime rick last week by a general holiday of the labourers and townsmen. The notorious Vidocq, whose memoirs excited so great an interest some few years ago, and who has for some time past been employed in recovering debts, &c., has been arrested, with one of his clerks named Gouffe, for illegally confining an individual and com pulsorily obliging him to execute certain deeds. It has been proposed that a strong wire fencing, such as is used in the Zoological Gardens, should be placed over the top of the Monument, reaching from the iron rail to the summit of the column. This safe guard might be so coloured and manufactured as to have very little, if any, unsightly appearance. Herr Cline, the rope-dancer, has been killed at Mexico by a party of brigands. GREAT CHARTIST MEETING ON KENNINGTON COMMON. MOVEMENT OF THE POLICE AND MILL TARY.—(THIS DAY.) Great excitement prevailed this morning in the neighbourhood of Kennington Common, by the ar rival of a large body of police as early as eight o'clock, who were stationed in the different avenues leading to the Common. Their orders being not to allow any obstruction to the free passage of the different vehicles and foot pas sengers, and to prevent the as;embling of idle and evil disposed persons, The inspectors doing duty last night have also re ceived orders from the Commissioners to send the constables from the different Police Courts, as soon as their charges may have been disposed of. These bodies will be joined at five o'clock (at which time they have orders to clear the Common), by detach ments from all the other divisions, when they will amount to nearly three thousand men. The Com missioners have issued strict orders that no unnecessary violence shall be used by the constables. A battery of the Royal Artillery is also stationed on Clapham Common, to render assistance if required. Strong detachments of the Foot Guards and Life Guards will be kept in readiness to assist the police in their duty. A large body of the L division have strict orders to stop any multitude from passing over Vauxhall bridge, and to take into custody if possible the leaders of the mob. Several delegates from the disturbed districts in the north, arrived yesterday by the Birmingham Railway, for the purpose of attending the great meeting. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

MURDER ---- 0n THE I‘...URDER AT —WANSBA.— Wednesday morning the coroner's inquest was resumed at the Town hall, and evidence was brought forward, which seems to :how that the barbarous outrage was premeditated. By the evidence of a young man, it appears that he, toge ther with the five murderers, were drinking together at a public-house called the Rising Sun, and that they left about twelve o'clock on Monday night. Soon after he stated the whole six again met at the house of Davies, one of the men implicated, but he denied that they met there by appointment. It would appear that Davies, at whose house they met, was the instigator of the whole affair, simply because the deceased and some other Irish men had undertaken to work under price. After a very lengthened inquiry, the Jury returned a verdict of .. wilf u l murder" against the five prisoners, Whose names are—William Davies, William Thomas, David Rees, John Evans, and John Lewis—all natives of Swansea and the neighbourhood. They heard the verdict with the greatest indifference. The name of the unfortunate deceased was John Bowling. A SEASONABLE JOKE.—On a cause being called at the last Liverpool Assizes, towards the end of a hot day, the leading counsel was wanting, and the Judge inquired rather warmly why the Court was delayed ? On which the junior counsel for the plaintiff replied, that his learned leader had gone out for a moment to take a "mouthful of fresh air ;" on which his Lord ship coolly observed, " I wonder where he will find it.' Twenty-seven rioters were sent off yesterday after noon, at two o'clock, to York Castle, in two caravans, es corted by a company of the 17th Lancers : they went by way of Wetherby.—Leeds Mercury of Saturday.

Misses Paget and Murray, Lord Byron, Earl of Liverpool, Sir Robert Peel, Earl of Aberdeen, Baron Gruben, Captain Meynell, Colonel Buckley, and Colonel Wylde. This evening the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady C. Dundas, came to St. George's Chapel Royal. The Rev. C. W. Knyvett officiated. The Magnifi cent and Nunc Dimittis was Nares in F. The Anthem, "The Lord is King," (Elvey) ; the solo parts by . Mr. Lockey and Master Foster, were well sustained. Dr. Elvey presided at the organ. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge left this residence at Kew at seven o'clock on Saturday morn ing to honour the Marquis and Marchioness of Lon donderry with a visit at their seat, Wynyard Park, Durham.

Despatches were received on Saturday from the Governor of Sierra Leone. C gNTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—This morning, these Sessions commence at the Justice-hall in the Old Bailey at ten o'clock, being the 94th, and 10th during the pre sent Mayoralty. An unusually long period has inter vened since the Court adjourned in the early part of last month, in consequence of which the, present calendar is not only very heavy, in a numerical 'point of view, but it contains also an entry of crimes of fearful magnitude. Among the offencei charged are murder, manslaughter, cutting and wounding, and other grievous offences against the person ; burglary, highway-robbery, forgery, nousebreaking, horse-stealing, and other crimes which were formerly punishable by death. There are, as usual, a vast number of domestic servants and clerks charged with stealing and embezzling the property of their employers. Beyond these, there arc several per sons charged with misdemeanours of a serious nature, some of whom are at large on heavy bail ; and many are under a course of examination, who will be added to the present committals. There are several cases which were postponed at the last Sessions, and of the number are the person who made the last attack on the Queen, and a clerk to the firm of Morrison and Co., of Fore-street, who stands charged with an extensive robbery ; these are expected to come on on Wednesday. It is conjec tured that the Court will be occupied at least ten days. Lord Abinger, according to the rota, will be the presid ing Judge.

From all the mining and manufucturing districts the accounts continue to be of the most encouraging character; and from all we can gather on the subject, the disturbance% would seem to have subsided, quite as Inviph Pawn the returning good sense of the Turn -outs, as from the eftbrts of the civil and military force em ployed against them. Considering how much positive destitution has had to do with the matter; that for months and months past the prospects of the operatives have howl as deplorable as it was possible to be; that Chartist agents have been incessantly at work to impress on their minds the absolute necessity of their agitating for the five points of the Charter, as being the only means they had left of bettering their condition;—considering these things, and considering also that Parliament has broken up without providing any measure for their immediate relief, but, on the contrary, has left them to the mercy of the chapter of accidents, and the benevolence of Providence ;—considering all these things, we cannot but repeat our conviction that the Turn-outs have exercised an extraordinary degree of forbearance, and proved that they are a very different class of men from those reckless, ignorant mobs who, in the early days of Hum', were so constantly bent on mischief. We trust, under these circumstances, that Govern ment will make.a point of regarding their case with lenity, and studiously bear in mind that they had more than one opportunity of throwing the whole north of England into a state of absolute anarchy, but refrained from doing so, from that lingering sense of justice and honesty which seems never to have wholly deserted them, even in the most desperate crisis of the outbreak. It is something new in English history to see thousands and thousands of half-starved operatives marching through towns and villages, and in most cases studiously refraining from plunder, but contenting themselves with prevent ing their,fellow-operatives from working at, what they imagined to be, inadequate prices. A "fair day's wages for a fair- day's N ' sitrk" appears, in the majority of instances, to have been the sum total of their de mands ; and if they endeavoured to procure this— their undoubted right—in a manner which the laws of the land forbid, let not the illegality of their proceed ings be visited on them too severely, but let *mercy temper: justice—for this is one of those rare cases where to be most merciful is to be most just. We are quite aware that the dignity of the law must be vindicated, and that those who transgress its behests must pay the penalty of their transgression ; the safety of the social system requires that such should be the case ; but we do hope and believe that the law will not be vindicated on the principle of Terrorism, for it is a most erroneous principle, however warmly patronised by the CASTLE REAGH and SIDMOUTH school of politicians, and never yet produced the desired effect. It is not by visiting them with severe measures of retribution, that Government will prevent the working-classes from engaging in future outbreaks, for hunger and desperation set all personal apprehensions at defiance ; this desirable object must be accomplished by promptly and im partially inquiring into their condition, with a:view to provide an adequate remedy for the grievances under which they may be labouring: The French Chamber of Deputies, after three days' discussion, passed the Regency Bill on Saturday evening by a majority of 216, there being for the Bill 310 votes, and against it 94. This Bill, differing materially from the Regency Bills passed by the British Parliament, makes the right to the Regency, like that to the Throne, hereditary, and enacts that the Prince nearest to the Throne, in the male line of the House of ORLEANS, being 21 years of age, shall la 3 REGENT of the FRENCH. The Duke of NEMOURS oF course will, by the passing of this Bill, become the Regent apparent, and in case of his death the rigl t will descend to his next brother, and so on in regular succession without any legislative enactment. There may be some advantage in this regulation, from the fact that it will to a certain extent prevent agitation or Parliamentary discussions on contingencies si milar to that which has caused such general sorrow in France ; but these will be more than counterbalanced by other grave and probable cir cumstances. In this country, for instance, there would be serious objections to a law by which the King of HANOVER would become Regent, in the event of the QUEEN'S death, and in the case of Spain, the objection would be still greater, for the Regent would be Don CARLOS, who claimed a right to the throne, and involved that country in civil war to assert his alleged rights. Should France be placed in• similar circumstances, a special law would be necessary, and dangerous animosities might be ex cited, which, but for this hereditary claim, would not have existed. The great majority of the speakers, however, did not seem to dread any contingency of this sort, and consequently voted for the Bill as origi nally introduced. M. TRIERS made a most remarkable speech at the conclusion of the debate, which naturally roused the ire of his old friends on the Left. Sir R. PEEL, in fact, could not have made a more Con servative speech, or one calculated to give a higher idea of the British Constitution. "My object," said he, "is to approach and resemble the strongly or ganised monarchy of England, that admirable pro duct of time and experience." An outline of the speeches made on the occasion will be found in another part of the paper. By accounts received this day, we learn that the schism between M. THIERS and, his friends has caused great excitement in Paris. The Opposition Journals com plain bitterly of the openness and harshness with which this singular personage reflected on the dan gerous principles which he once professed, and are still retained by those who chose him for leader. A coalition Ministry is not at all improbable. There is no other news of any importance whatever. BOURSE—PARIS, SATURDAY, AUG. 20. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

W e may further add, that the failure of silk merchants in the City led to the discovery—certain entries in the books of the bankripts having come under the notice of the assignees were immediately communi cated to the proper authorities.

ALARMING STATE OF THE CITY EXTRAORDINARY FLUCTUATIONS IN THE. PRICE OF TURTLE - TUMULTUOUS PROCEEDINGS, IN CONSE. QUENCE, IN THE TURTLE-DISTRICTS-INSURRECTION. ARY SPIRIT AMONG THE ALDERMEN-DISAFFECTION IN THE COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL-CALLING OUT OF THE BEEF-EATERS - MARCH OF THE TRAIN BANDS TO THE MANSION-HOUSE-SANGUINARY CON. FLICT BETWEEN THE LORD MAYOR AND A FAT BPE. CLLL-AND LOTS OF HORRORS Sir Robert Peel's Tariff—at least that portion of it which relates to the prices of turtle i_ilikturbot—has, it is well known, occasioned for some weeks past con siderable agitation in the turtle-districts of the metro polis; atid=the discovery by Mr. Charles Pearson on Saturday, of an old Civic Charter of the date of Henry the Eighth, which enacts that the prices of these dainties shall be kept up at one uniform rate, for the convenience (as the document asserts) of " his Majesty's loyal Aldermen 'and Burgesses of the City," has, we regret to state, thrown the entire neighbourhood of Guildhall into a complete state of insurrection ! At an early hour this morning the Court of Aldermen assembled to discuss the question; and after lamenting the present fluctuations in the prices of turtle and turbot, came to a resolution that they would stani by the Charter, and would not cease from agitation till that portion of the Tariff, which tended to neutralize its spirit, was repealed. Alderman Humphery was the first to proclaim him self a Chartist, and was followed by Aldermen Square stern and Patsides ; the latter of whom swore, amid the cheers of the. Court, that he would die in the last ditch in defence of the Corporation privileges. He added, that the Common Council had also "nailed their colours to the mast," and had just passed a vote, to the effect, that they would either conquer or die in up holding the Charter. News of these insurrectionary proceedings was immediately conveyed to the Home office ; a Cabinet Council was held; and at ten o'clock it was determined to call out the Beef-eaters, and dispatch two troops of the Train-bands, and a detach ment of the City Light Horse, into the heart of the disaffected turtle-districts. The following particulars are from a City Correspondent, on whose statements we can place implicit confidence : " GUILDHALL, 10 O'CLOCK, A.M.—lnsurrection is spreading hourly through the turtle-districts. An immense body of Common Councilmen, with Alder man Puddinghead as their leader, have just passed up Cheapside on their way to the Mansion-house. They look stern and sanguinary, and each man has his fist doubled. The shops are all shut up, and business is at a stand-still. God knows how all this will end! I fear the worst !" (EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED THREAD NEEDLE-STREET, ELEVEN O'CLOCK.) " The Beef-eaters are in full march for the Man sion -House, and it is reported that fhb -Lord Mayor has proclaimed himself a Chartist. Placards headed The Charter, and no fluctuations in turtle and turbot,' are everywhere disseminated through the City! I have just learned from the Water-bailiff that it is the intention of the insurgent Aldermen to set the Thames on fire, if their demands are not complied with. What have not Ministers to answer for ?" (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) " The heather is on fire ! The turtle-districts are in a blaze ! I 'have this instant seen a Common- Councilman who tells me that a sanguinary conflict has taken place between the Lord Mayor and a fat Special, and that his Lordship's left eye is seriously damaged I It is rumoured, also, that the Beef-eaters have refused to fire on the insurgent Aldermen, ob serving in justification of their refusal, that the eyes of Europe are upon them !' " (FROM OUR CITY CORRESPONDENT.) " The Three per Cents. are down to two ! No business is doing in Consols. A detachment of the Train-bands have just charged a body of Chartist Aldermen, and wounded Alderman FaTsides in his hinder parts. The Commander of the City Light Horse was seen half an hour ago to place his fore finger beside his nose, and wink in a very mysterious manner at the Colonel of the Lumber Troop ! This you may rely on as a fact." (BY EXPRESS.) " CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.—Things are hourly growing worse The Goldsmiths' Company are up in arms, and have joined the Chartists. Bleaden also an d his waiters have unanimously declared for the Charter ! It is reported in the Poultry that a body of the most violent Aldermen have resolved on marching to Whitehall Gardens, armed with spits and carving knives, and sacking Sir R. Peel's 3 pantl. - . Thank God, a Wellington still heads the British army !" "IMPORTANT IF TRUE.-At half-past twelve o'clock two Chartist Common Councilmen were seen to walk into the Night-Shirt and Nutmeg, in Blowbladder lane. They looked mysterious, and called in a stern and determined manner for two glasses of brandy and water. The nature of their conference did not transpire, but from what I can gather from the land lord, the brandy and water was not paid for." Sun Office, Four o'Clock.—At the period when we went to press, the insurrection in the turtle-districts w as a little abated, in consequence of the Chartist Aldermen and Common Councilmen being com pelled to go to lunch ! It is feared, however, that it will break out at night-fall worse than ever. Should anything of consequence transpire, we shall make a point of communicating it to our readers in a Second Edition. Sir Robert Peel arrived in town this morning, and has been visited in Whitehall-gardens — by Sir James Graham. The Police Authorities have been in active communication throughout the morning with the Home Secretary. The Marquis of Bute, General Hamilton, and Captain Aeome were among the passen g ers that landed from the General Steam Navigation d or npkny's mail packet Columbine, from Rotterdam, yesterday, at Blackwall. LAW INTELLIGENCE• BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY). IN THE MATTER OF THOMAS HAYES. The bankrupt in this case had carried on an exten sive business as a currier and leather-dresser; in Shad' well. The amount of debts which appeared in the schedule was stated at 7,9401., and the available assets, so far as the assignees had at present realised, was only about 4701. This day having been appointed for a proof of debts, and auditing the accounts, several credit appeared in person, and tendered proofs in the aggre gate amounting to about 2,0001. A point was raised with respect to a sum of 2,800 1 1 to which it was alleged the bankrupt's wife was en -titled, under the will of a person named John Price, and the Learned Commissioner ordered it to be re served until evidence could be adduced to establish the fact of its being available to the estate, or settled by deed upon herself. • After some further discussion, the final examine' tion of the bankrupt wa s or d ere d to stand for the 29th instant. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) ____ _____ OLD COURT These sessions, which are the ninety-fourth since the Act pissed establishing the Court, and the tenth of the present Mayoralty, commenced this morning before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Alderma n Farebrother and Gibbs, thei Sheriffs, &c. The calendar contains a list of no less than 369 prisoners, and the following may be considered a!' epitome of the crimes with which they stand charged .; Arson, 1 ; Bigamy, 3; Burglary, 5 ; a nd having in possession counterfeit coin, 3 ; niously uttering counterfeit coin, 4 ; Embezzle' rnent, 13 ; Forgery, 4 ; Housebreaking, 2; LarcenP 200 ; Larceny in a dwelling-house, 9 • From the pe r . son, 30 ; Larceny by servants, 54 ; M ans l au ghter, Misdemeanours, 6 ; Murder, 3 ; Personating a pe r son to procure wages, 1 ; rape, 3 ; receiving stolen goods, 9 • robbery, 6. Of this number, 49 have been committed from London, 273 from Middlesex, 1 front the Admiralty, and 17 from Surrey. The Grand Jury having been empanelled an d sworn, The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his charge tt i them. He said the calend ar com p re h en d e d a list 0 nearly 360 prisoners, and that number would probably be increased in the course of the present week ° nearly 400. Among th e graver o ff ences were 5 ' cases of larceny by serva n t s , an d 9 ca ses of the r e. ceiving of stole n goo d s , one o f w hi c h was o f a vel important and extensive characte r . There were n° less than six cases of felo n i es f rom th e p e rson ; cases of cutting and wounding ; th ree c harges oft''' t crime of rape ; and three f o r m ur d er . The gve,,, to number of criminals contained in the calendar Wig'," in some resp ec t, b e a tt r ib u t a bl e t o th e unus uall y period that had int ervene d b e t ween th e l as t and the b : e present session • but still, after making that ann‘ ; ' ante, the number was extremely large, and he V' sorry to add, the offences were great with which w an) , of the prisoners were c h arge d. I n a dditi o n to th ese charges of felony there was a party who had hel l° , committed as for a misdemeanour, in which the parl i .J was charged with the crime of assaulting her N ll ° e jesty. He would presently call th e a ttention of i t he Grand Jury to the circumstances of that case, an° would advert to what had been laid down as the la g with respect to assaults where no blow had W given- He would also call their attention to the Pr c i ; visions of an Act of Parliament which had bete) passed during the last session for providing for ; ier further. security and protectiori of the person e f m ."l - , e Majesty. Upon consideration it perhaps might he more convenient that he should address himsel Act f lest topic first. On the 16th of July last an „ 0 .. Parliament passed for the further security and tection of her Majesty's person. The Grand weed were aware, that in ordinary cases of treason, W" e _f no direct attempt had been m'ade upon the person . u s the Sovereign, there were many important formalitte,, to be gone through for the protection of the subject', which encumbered the proceedings to a great exte n be and required great nicety and care in the prosecution for high treason. This was r he quired by the 39th and 40th of George t,O Third, and the present Act was intended It simplify and amend these Acts. As the pres, ea h case, however, did not fall within the charge of hig t , treason, he would not further advert to those Ae but would call the attention of the Grand JurY. the provisions of the Act that had been passed duri n g; the last Session. By the first clause of the sth ana 6th of her present Majesty, chapter 51, it was e l 4; acted, " That the proceedings provided by the 3.' 9 and 40th of George the Third, in the case of par,ti e guilty of an attempt against the person of the ° I)- f vereign should apply ; but where the overt net f t , treason should be any attempt to injure t"," person of the Queen, the party was to ' e tried as if he had committed murder. The secon d section was however, the more important one, and that to which he would more particularly advert : that section provided, that if any person should wilfully discharge, or attempt to discharge, or point, or aim any gun, pistol, or fire-arms at her Majesty , whether it contained or not any explosive material, or if the party struck at the person of the Queen, or fully threw anything at her Majesty, with intent to in jure or alarm her, such person should beadjudgedguil t y of a high misdemeanour, and, being convicted, should be transported for seven years, or imprisoned with or without hard labour, at the discretion of the Court, for any period not exceeding three years, and during that imprisonment, if the Court should think fit, th° party might be publicly or privately whipped. k le had thus far adverted to the Act of Parliament, 11' order that it might properly be understood, alth ou g h the case he had been referring to, having been con' mitted in July, did not come under its provision, s " ; Many persons had supposed that the offence of a ssail involved some act of violence ; that was not the case: for according to the law laid down in " Hawkes, Pleas of the Crown," an attempt to strike, but l i t: hitting the object, was an assault ; nay, eve n t he holding up of the fist to a party had been held tO of one. He would now advert to the c ircurnstanee s ,. the case, with respect to the assault upon her Mai est J `'‘ On the day in question, when her Majesty's carriage e. es passing through the Park, a young person was se , he to take from his breast a pistol, point it towards Char carriage, and pull the trigger, but from some cau se other the pistol did not go off. In that pistol , v d , found some coarse powder, rammed down with "O w ding, and had that pistol went off it would und°n, o f edly have constituted an assault, not only in poi,n' t , law, but with those aggravating circumstances 01 lle tempting to take away the life of the Sovereign• if would not advert further to this charge, becaus e e d any question of nicety should arise, the Le al ' Judge who would try the prisoner might have w it. question brought before him and determine 11 1 ) °, 0 This, however, he would say, that he felt the case $ one which should be put in a course of trial b e for Petit Jury. He had already referred to the fact in the calendar, there were fifty-one cases of larceny' committed by servants, and it must be remerahetileb that the crimes of parties placed in 5 ce, situations, were greatly aggravated in c onseque i n the of the dependence that was placed on them, anu. easy means that were afforded to commit depredatlnce There were six cases of robbery, in two insta i ' vr e committed by soldiers with great violence ; there I li' , also three charges of rape, two on the persons of c „ o f dren under ten years of age, and one on the perseoe a young woman of the age of seventeen. rtan t whole of these charges, although most imp° ,e for the consideration of a Jury, for °To safety of society, did not appear to him to i nv oe any question of difficulty or law ; but at the hile time he could not but observe with sorrow, that: co ' n t the Legislature had been removing the Pui.l is ",: a e se, of death for this offence, it had been on the In c— pet and more aggravated in its character. With resP; oo to two of the cases, those of the children under $, years of age, he thought, looking at the dePos i ,b ° ii i e the Grand Jury could not entertain a doubt as I ° , t o course they should pursue • but with respect t he the other, it would be for them, looking at ali_ no , circumstances and probabilities of the case, to '''„„ o sider whether they could place implicit reliance 11 5 0 the evidence of the prosecutrix ; but perhaP s tra io safest course would be to put that inquiry Into 0 for investigation. He would not advert to the cllrargoo of murder, because their particulars invol ved rt questions of law. The Learned Judge, after!. snre. commentary upon the duties of Grand Juries7„ch mitted them to the discharge of those functions Wni the law called upon them to perform. petit The COURT then proceeded to swear in th e Jury.
