She in d? the passage in about fifteen days, and brings in: ,, iligence eight days later than that fur nished by the Acadia steamer, which arrked on the. 13 th. The, intelligence from the United Sta'es is highly satisfactory, The North Eastern Boundary Question is ahead , / Lrranged to the satisfaction of all Parties, The Creo!e case is settled, and that of the Caroline is in the course of adjustment. It is also stated that the Right of Search Question has been a in' 2 ably disposed on • The whole of thne important questions, we learn, will be fir: arrnicsed, and then submitted to the Senate shnultant•sly ; and _it is generally believed that they will not meet with any opposition, as the majority of that body are desirous of terminating these affairs in rm amicable way. Nothing official had transpired raspecting the negotiations between Lord. Ashl - airtol and Mr. Webster, but as they both have full rower.; to settle every point, and have been instructed by their respective Governments to bring t he matter to a peaceful conclusion, there is now , no reason to doubt that they have been completely suc cessful. Aire congratulate our own countrymen as Well as the people of the United States on this happy result, so creditable, and at the same time so bene eial, to two great nations. The Senate passed the Tariff Bill on the sth instant, by a vote of 2.5 to 23; put it was anticipated that the President wculd veto i t in a few days " The cotton and corn crops," says the New York Herald," are abundant, and Heaven is roilin g on the induStrious and deserving." ia Among tl:e passengers by the British Queen is Silas, Mr. Stillwell, United States Marshal for t he district of New York, who has come over as a s pecial messenger from Washington, but on matters in no way connected With Lord Ashburton's mission. Pe has gone on to Antwerp, and will go to Paris be- Ore ha visits this country. vlhe Warspite, Captain Lord John Hay, is still at 'ew York. ; I'ho following are extracts from the American Alrnals STATE OF THE COUNTRY. Ntw YoRK, Ave. 7.—Upon this sub - ect there is llot much , hat can be said. to send out by the British Queen for the information of our numerous European tenders. We an without a tariff, without a currency, with ottt credit, and should he much better off if, for a few t l hths, we were without a Congress. The Tariff 1 1 has passed both Houses ; and as it still contains the di stribution clause, the President will veto it. Still .e Attorney-General thinks that the present law is v ' ti ttcient to enable the (.4overnment to collect the re under it. In the mean time all duties are Nld under protest. C ongress will ad,:eurn in a delicious row in two or Zree weeks, perhaps in less time. We hope so; but izt before the Senate passes the treaty with Great 4 stain. In the meantime all the interested parties are satis fied with the treaty, and Lord Ashburton is preparing return bottle. few miserable politicians and office beggars are i'Ying to form a third political party, but it will not f leeeed. The cotton and corn crops are abundant,and Heaven stifling on the industrious and deserving. In the Zettntime Satan takes care of his own in Wall - street, ' 4l is stirring up the elements of strife in Congress. . (Correspondence of the New York Herald.) PASEING OF THE TARIFF. h ._WASHINGTOT:;, FRIDAY EVENING.—The Senate reed the Tariff Bill this afternoon, precisely as it kllle from the House, by a vote of 25 to 23 ; Messrs. ifeston, lives, and Graham voting with the twenty irlocrats against it—Mr. Henderson, absent ; and • Berrien nfus'ng to vote. It will go to the Pre eldeut to-morroW, and early in the week a veto may ...expected. A great row will then take place, and 'l;._?rts w ill be made to adjourn at once, but a Revenue ' l , l of some sort will no doubt be passed. t 0 Which House cleared, the private calendar of all Bills Which no objection was made. TIIE TREATY WITH GREAT BRITAIN.—It gives us Lil 'ettt pleasure to announce that everything connected this impoi-tant affair is now in a fair way to be r ,edily and amicably settled. The last of the Bri. 4 /1 Commissioners from Maine passed through this tY ate yesterday, on his way home from 'Washington. states that all the details of the treaty, as we have t i fore_ given them, have all been agreed to, and tA tned by all parties interested, and nothing the but the ratiieation of the treaty by 7 Senate, which is expected to take place now in a Y few days. Indeed, so confident do all parties ;inn, about this business, that even in Canada the egee of wild lands has doubled within the last two eel: * s ; and emigrants and settlers who before were ',„7rful to locate themselves for fear of a war, are thing to the land offices, and vieing with each t l l her as to who shall become permanently settled in colony the soonest. This is a good sign; and, in -N g , clition to the above, we learn that Governor Kent, Maine, who is still in - Washington, has written pers. home, expressing his full conviction that the ... 11 edary Treaty will be confirmed by the United ''tes Senate. BALTIMORE, AUG. 6.—From gentlemen who ar red frordWashington last evening, I learn that there ire it rumours that Lord Ashburton has .determined t t i ll leaving the city in a very few days, preparatory return to Europe, and that the 41 Boundary I ;culties between the two nations had been posi /eIY and amicably settled. The following, in the t reric an of this morning, seems to be confirmatory What I have heard : 1" Gentlemen who have just returned from Wash ,‘qton state that rumours were very current there, (1 generally believed, that Lord Ashburton would :.\ - e that city in a few days, preparatory to his de lrture for England, the terms of the treaty which he tl as sent to this, country to negotiate having been con- Odni. to his 'satisfaction. It was also stated that ,kr Webster designed to resign his office as Secretary t ' Stat e soon af: er the adjournment of Congress. Of t ° o lll 'se we do not know what credit is to be attached these reports, but, as the same rumours have `gat us before from other sources, it is possible `gat there may be some truth in them." A decline of 50 cents per barrel has taken place in during the past week. The market is now well °l- ei, and Howard-street standard brands can be had 47 , . t- 1 dols. 50 cents., per barrel ; City-mills, too, has 6 l ieu to dols. 87i cents.; Susquehanna, 5 dols. cents.

The letters from en near so general as was anticipated. - Tranquillity, those points of the large cotton districts which, con • ' e and the exertions of the civil power to suppress all trally situated, are favourable for observation, corning disturbance, still continue. At two o'clock informa from intelligent and disinterested parties, represent • tion was received at the To•a• - n-hall, that a very large the growing crop as the most abundant over yet ro- • assemblage was talting place in the ground, near the dueed. The full extent of this observation would Tucker's Gardens -St George's•road, who had carry the crop to, say, 2,300,000 bales.; but it has marched there in ' procession from different puts of been calculated heretofore that the physical power the toWn. It w 3 ascertained that the object of the available to " pickina• out" could not realise so large a meeting was to make an attempt to turn out the few pantity by 199,000 ° bales. It is very early as yet to hands who had returned into employment this morn form estimates of the crop, as so much depends upon casualties between now and October. The state of the ing. It was considered by the anthoritie:, prudent to disperse the meeting; and 150 of the 'white force, and present crop is n 2.:"i early as follows: - 0 special constables, with an. adequate military RECEIPTS, STOCIU, AND EXPORTS OF COTTON IN HE - T ioree, marched to the spot. This large detachment was accompanied by the Mayor and two of the Borough Magistrates, who gave orders to Capt. Sleigh to disperse the meeting, which he did but with a slight resistance. From reports heard this afternoon, affairs in the out districts of Lancashire remain in a tranquil state. Moanar MORNING, ELEVEN O ' CLOCK.—The dis turbed districts are nearly in the same state as this town. Although the workmen of Ashton-under- Lyne were the first cause of these disturbances ' no retual rioting took place until .Friday last, on which occasion only was the Riot Act read during the late turbulent week. On that occasion a large mob made an attack on the bricklayers engaged in the erection of some new premises in the Market square, in order to compel them to discontinue work. The Riot Act was then read, and the police succeeded in capturing two of the leading rioters. Thee others were cap tured during the night by the police, one of whom was armed with a pike,. and the other with two leaden weights in the form of a sling. The former whose name is Foden, is a well known Chartist speaker, who has at Mottram and other places frequently advocated physical force, and another is also a speaker at these meetings of the name of Ilindlev, Ow is blind in both eyes. Another party, Duke, the chairman of several of the meetings, has been also acrested charge of sedition. The military force consists of about 100 of the 58th Regiment, who are quartered in the Town hall, of two pieces of artillery which arrived on Wednesday from Manchester, and of a troop of Dra gcons, and the civil force has been augmented by 340 special constables. The print works at Shepley were at work, and it was announced that the extensive silk mills of Messrs. Wanklins would re-commence to-day. There appeared to be a general disposition on the part of the operatives to return to their employ, but some fresh placards were issued round the streets recom mending them not to do so until Wednesday. At Staleybridge all remained quiet. A detach ment of Dragoons arrived from Manchester on Friday evening, when upwards of 400 special constables were sworn in, prior to which the inhabitants were in con siderable alarm. It is here expected that the opera tives will recommence work on Wednesday. On Friday night a detachment of Dragoons was sent over from this place to Dukinfield to preserve the peace, and they did not return to quarters until near midnight. At this place and at Denton on Saturday the Magistrates were busily engaged swearing in special constables, for the first time since the out break. At Hyde there was a slight disturbance on Saturday on account of the attempted apprehension of a Chartist leader of the name of Leach, who was - rescued by a mob, and several of the police and special constables were severely beaten. The address of Sir James Graham to the Lord-Liefttebant of Cheshire has been printed and extensively circulated through the streets. An alarm being given at Ashton that upwards of a thousand colliers were marching towards Clayton and Medlock Vale, a detachment of the 58th Regi ment was sent from Ashton to intercept them, but the alarm turned out to be groundless. In this dis trict it was resolved to open all the mills this morning, so that all who were inclined might return to employment. Two of the mills have been at work since Thursday, one of which is protected by seventy of-the hands, who have been sworn in as special .con stables. Tliey have not yet bad any obstruction in returning to work, and no injury has been done to property. We regret to state that the return to work this morning has been very partial, and not near so gene ral as was expected. The fine spinners have prin cipally returned, but they were paid higher wages than the other &asses oflands. At Messrs. Birley's mills, and the Oxford-road Twist Company's mills, in Oxford-road, the parties who went hack were refused emplopnent. All the police and special constables were on duty at five o'clock this morning, in order to protect the persons who returned to work, and will continue to patrol the streets throughout the day. A meeting was expected to take place this morning at live o'clock, on Kersall Moor, but no congregation of persons had been seen_ on that spot up to this hour. QUARTER-PAST ELEVEN O ' CLOCK.—The official reports at the Town-hall show that only nine mills were at work. The - hands were protected in Going to Work with the imposing force of 1,500 police and special constables under the ccanmand of Captain Sleigh, the able and efficient assistant-commissioner of police. \Y e regret to say from his information that large mobs are collecting in the different parts, who express their resolution to turn -the hands ont again. The Weets in • the neighbourhood of the Town-hall are crowded with persons ready for active and immediate service: - At Salford all is quiet. BLACKBURN, Sunday Night, Twelve o'Clock. Although it was generally believed in Burnley on Friday, that a numerous mob of turn-out rioters from Rochdale and Bacup was to invade that town during that day, and thence make a descent with increased numbers on Blackburn, nothing of the kind has oc curred. Near Accrington, however, on Friday, the rioters attacked the works of Messrs. Hoyle, in the vicinity, and were repulsed by the inmates. Intelligence has been received here to-day of the arrest of the Chairman cf the Trades' Delegates at Manchester. The moment this intelligence arrived, Mr. Neville, with that promptitude which has so dis tinguished him during the riots, at once ordered some hundred bills to be printed, posted up in the public places, and distributed among the people, announcing the arrest. • We are sorry that it is not in our power to say that there are any indications of a return to labour on on the part of the many thousands of operatives in this crowded workshop of the cotton manufacture; The general belief to-day is, that there 'will not be a single cotton-mill ehimne . y„ smoking in Blackburn. The large millg of Messrs. Mr. H. •Hornby and Co., employing no fewer than 1,500 hands, were the only mills at full work on Saturday. It is also more than probable that Mr. Hornby's hands, along with the few still remaining in the mills of Messrs. Townley, and in that of Mr. Forrest, will join the general "strike" to• morrow morning. How long this strike will con tinue is of course a matter of uncertainty. One thing, however, I know, that the millowners here are, to a man,. resolved not to succumb to the demand which has been made with such a spirit of intimidation. The impudent placard issued from the Trades' com mittee-room on Friday last, calling upon the middle classes to express, their opinion on the present move ment, has been replied to by an address to the Magis trates, agreed to at a meeting of the -respectable in habitants yesterday. . . This address is in course of signature, and will, I have no doubt, be signed by every manufacturer, mill-owner, and shopkeeper in Blackburn. UNITED STATES. 1841. : 1542.. Increase.

" Blackburn, August 20, 1842. " TO THE MAGISTRATES ACTING WITHIN THE LOWER DIVISION OF THE HUNDRED OF BLACKBURN. " We, the undersigned householders, and other in habitants of Blackburn and the neighbourhood, feel ourselves called upon, at the present crisis, to express our opinion on those alarrring commotions which are at present agitating this town, with many other parts of the kingdom. " Being mostly connected with trade ourselves, we have all deeply felt the depression of the last year, while we have had at the same time the pain to wit ness the distressing condition of the labouring classes, whose uniform patience, under their privations, has entitled them to the sympathy and respect of all or ders of the community. " At the very moment, then, when trade was re viving, when everything seemed to promise full em ploy—an ample harvest and cheap food—we have seen, with equal disappointment and indignation, the sudden and simultaneous rise of a system of lawless violence and brutal intimidation, which has at once stopped our manufactories, forcibly robbed the indus trious'of that employ for which they have long teen pinging, snatched the bread out of their hands; and again reduced them, with their helpless families, to compulsory idleness, misery, and starvation. " Feeling, therefore, the utmost abhorrence and detestation of those base and unprincipled agitators who evidently wish to subject the whole population to the reign of terror, anarchy, and revolution, we beg leave to tender our services to the Magistracy, with a fixed determination to employ all our power and influence in the maintenance of loyalty to our Sovereign, obedience to the law, and full protection of the rights and liberties of the peaceable and industrious." mile from the town, the dragoons filed off for the barracks, leaving their prisoners in charge Of the civil power. The two men, handcuffed together, Walked quietly - along, guarded ,by Slaney, a con stable, on flint, and • two inspectors of the police (Codd and Potton) on horseback. On reaching the town, a vast crowd as s embled, and on passing the Ploughi and.HarrOw Inn, which ..adjoins Charlotte-street, a cry of " Rescue !" was raised. Slaney instantly dragged his two prisoners to the inn door, and the inspectors kept off the mob, although assailed by a shower.of stones, brick-hats, &e., till the Men were safely lodged within, and, the door,.securel. The horsemen, being furiously stoned, - galloped off to the Town Police-office, and a body of policemen, with two Magistrates, Mr. Noon and Mr.- Close, was speedily at the Plough and Harrow. In a few mi nutes the military came galloping up, the streets were cleared, and the prisoners, along with a man who attempted their rescue, who was also appre hended, conveyed safely to the county gaol. In what direction the rioters are gone we cannot, at the mo ment we are writing, learn, but the most prompt and decisive steps will he taken to prevent any outrage. (raoM A CORRESPONDENT.) DERBY, Four o'Clcck, Monday. We have been in a rather exeittd state to-day. Early this morning a troop of the 2d Dragoon Guards, headed by a county Magistrate, proceeded to Hol brook-imor, to prevent the holding of a meeting there. The Derby and Chaddesden troop of Yeomanry pro ceeded to Helper, and the Radbourn troop made its station here. Groups of men have been loitering about the streets, but there has been no general ces sation from worth, owing, it is believed, to the pre cautionary measures adopted by ithe authorities, who sit daily at the Police -office. Special messengers have beau stationed at the outskirts, and about two o'clock the whole town was thrown into excitement by the arrival of one of these messengers, who stated that a body of colliers, to the number of about 1,200 (including women), was approaching the town. Shops were closed, and the Radbourn troop were instantly called out. About 250 of them reached the Bridge gate, but were stopped by the special constables. At the time I write the town is in a state of great excite ment. The Duke of .Devonshir e and a large body of the Meg:stracy are now deliberating at the County hall. Cannon have been placed on the gaol, and every precaution taken. It is determined not - to admit the colliers and other turn-outs into the town. Should the authorities succeed in this intention, all will be well: The colliers belong to our own county. LEICESTER, Aug 22, Six P.M. _ _ Cooper, the Leicester Chartist, arrived in town by mail train on Saturday night. He did not attempt to address the people in public on Sunday, although in a letter published in the Northern Star on Saturday he told his Leicester friends that nothing should deter him from advocating their cause, and that he " was their's to the death." Sunday passed over with more than its ordinary quietness. By some mistake, a body of special constables, attending divine service at St. Justin's church, were summoned to the police station. A temporary alarm was felt, but, upon an explana tion taking place, quietness was restored. This morning (Monday) two troops of cavalry ar rived in the town under the commands of Lord Hervey and Colonel Keck, for the purpose of suppressing any attempt at an outbreak that might he made at the ex amination of the prisoners, which commenced this morning at ten o'clock, at the Town-hall, before the Mayor (Mr. Stokes), James T. Paget, J. B. Robin son, G. Gossett, R. Harris, J. Fuellon, J. Hudson, .W. Moore, J. Taylor, J. Biggs, and Dr. Shaw. The following are the names of the several parties, each of whom were charged with obstructing the police in the execution of their duty, and using ex citing language : John Rawlins, Ambrose Capell, and Henry Wood cock, after examination, were ordered to enter into their own recognisances in 101., and find two sureties in 51. each, to answer for their good .conduct for two months. _ _ , Mr. O'NEIL sad it had been wished to hold another meeting outside of the borough, which would not in terfere with the Magistrates' order ; but he thought it would not he dignified to attempt to evade a bad law. The people were strong enough not to require these shifts. They could bide their time. He hoped they would disperse then. The requisitionists had come prepared to move resolutions declaring in favour of the People's Charter, and recommending that from that day tke payment of all taxes should cease. They would, however, not, go to business, but would pro ceed to enter .their solemn protest against the disper sion of the meeting, and would also publish these re solutions for the people's consideration. Deliberations would also be carried on ; and he called upon the people to wait for two days, when the course would be made known. He was quite sure that the people would never err in preventing their enemies from making a forcible attack upon them, but they would very much weaken themselves by resisting the law. He assured them that every necessary step to advance the cause would be proceeded with, though the meet ing was abandoned, and he called upon them to con duct themselves orderly. He said he would re m a i n at that window until the last man had left the ground. The people then quietly dispersed. - A small meeting of the other section of Chartists was about to be held in Hill-street, when Mr. Bur gess, Commissioner of Police, rode up, and soon after a body of police arrived, and dispersed them. Meetings Were then held in the Chartist Church, and the large room formerly belonging to the Me chanics' Institution. Up to the present moment all is quiet; and I do not anticipate any breach of the peace in Birmingham. There are a great number of horse and foot soldiers in the town ; many of the latter are stationed in Union street, and other parts of the town. A very consi derable number of special constables have been sworn in ; we have also a large quantity of artillery in the barracks. Having stated that we do not anticipate any disturbance, it would be only delusion not to state the fact, that it is almost the unanimous opinion of all classes, masters and men, shopkeepers and those in the best circumstances, that in order to secure a continuance of peace, something must be done, and . done speedily, in the way of redress by Government. Mr. Cooke, draper, of Dudley, was arrested on Saturday night, and escorted out of the town to Wor cester Gaol by Dragoons, for having exhibited a bill calling the meeting to-day in this town. All the news from the district is favourable, so far as peace is con cerned, but the men are still idle and begging. :TWELVE O'CLOCK, MONDAY NIGHT.—Up to this hour the town has remained in the most tranquil state. The day passed off without the least disturb ance, although several meetings were held in various parts of the town. The Magistrates, however, are in constant attendance at the Police-office, and nothing has been left undone by them to secure the peace of the town. John Bonnington and James Longhorn, ordered to enter in their own recognisances in 101., and find two sureties in each, to answer for their future good conduct for two months. Francis Stone, discharged. William Cereh, ordered to enter into his own recog ❑isance in 101., and find two sureties in 51. each for two months. Joseph Boulter was released on bai], in consequence of the absence of a material witness. Allied Clarke, ordered to enter into his own re cognisance in 101., and two sureties in 5/. each, for two months. t. The following placard has been issued by the Na tional Complete Suffrage Association : " ADDRESS OF THE COUNCIL OF TH. NATIONAL COM- PLETE SUFFRAGE UNION TO THE WORKING AND UN- ENFRANCHISED CLASSES OF THEIR COUNTRYMEN. " Fellow-countrymen—Your circumstances de mand our deepest sympathy. In the midst of the exciting events which surround us we have met to consider what steps can be. taken to relieve your dis tre,s, and to promote your political freedom. We are assured that nothing short of an effectual Reform in Parliament will secure the happiness and prospe rity of the people. " Impressed by this conviction, we have addressed a memorial to the Queen, setting forth the evils tin der which you have suffered, and entreating her to dismiss her present Ministers, and take to her coun cils only such men as will secure a. full, fair, and free representation of the people in the House of Commons. " We have also issued an address to the middle and enfranchised classes, and called upon them to declare themselves in your favour. We have besought them to lend their zealous co-operation for your enfran chisement. " We have resolved to convene a Conference of De legates, to be elected at public meetings in the various towns and districts of the kingdom, which Conference is to be held in Birmingham, on Wednesday, Sep tember 7, for the purpose of devising a specific course of conduct to be pursued by the friends of the people's rights under the peculiar crisis in which the, country is now placed. " Let your peaceful conduct give force to our ap peal, that it may find its way . to the hearts of those who can constitutionally. assist you. The middle classes are the enfranchised classes, and they are capable of controlling the Parliament. Alone it is impossible for you to gain your ends. Associated with the middle classes, no Government on earth can long resist your moral, peaceful agitation. We shall endeavour to avail ourselves of every opportunity to advance the cause We call on you for help. Re signing all hopeless contests, engaged in every peace ful effort, urging all moral means, we entreat you to join us in establishing the articles of your political faith in the minds of the middle classes, and we are assured you are not far from victory. " Signed in the natne and on behalf of the Council, " JOSEPH STURGE, President. Committee-room, Bth Month (Aug.) 20, 1842." STOCKPORT. William Pembleton, ordered to qutei.,lnto 'own recognisance in 101., and find two stareties,,in i is/. for two months. ~ a • This case concluded the business... T attendance attendance of people in the body of the Court was not so large as it generally is upon ordinary occasions. The town is quite tranquil at this hour, and no further disturbance is expected. BIRMINGHAM, Monday Noon. Since this day, week the city • and neighbourhood have been in a very feverish state, in consequence of a disposition to riot evinced by the colliers of Bedworth and Foleshill. Friday, which is market day, a large body of the turn-outs marched into the city, and on Saturday numbers were sauntering about the neigh bouring towns. Up to this morning, eleven o'clock (Monday), all was peaceable and quiiet ; many of the colliers had resumed work. The Magistracy and military are equal here for any emergency, and I ffiund on inquiry that the troops in the barracks are under arms, and the Warwickshire Yeomanry are also in readiness to act with the civil authorities. The distress here among the ribbon-weavers is very great, and nothing - can exceed the severity of their depriva tions. Most of them were Chartists, and assured me that the Chartists as a body had no hand in the dis turbances. 'What they wanted was "a fair day's wages for a fair day's work," but this at present they could not obtain. Hundreds could obtain no work, whilst others barely existed upon a miserable pit tance of eight, nine, and ten shillings a week. The insurrection is- exceedingly deep-rooted, and within the short space of ten days had spread with the rapidity of wildfire through Warwickshire, Staf fordshire, the Potteries, North and South Lancashire, Cheshire, Yorkshire, and is now extending itself to Wales. One thing is certain and positive—this is not a political movement. It is entirely a question of wages. The threatened meeting, which was to take place in Summer-lane this day, will be prevented by the Magistrates. The proclamation of the Mayor, issued and signed by his Worship . and thirteen other Magistrates, has effected much late on Saturday night, awful riots of that period, arc yet fresh in the me mory-. of th The e p r e e a c e e it e l a le firing ah of the Bull-ring, and the d industrious lieges of the " toy-shop of Europe.". Mammy . EVENlNG.—Yesterday the Magistrates were engaged taking the necessary precautions to keep the peace. They issued notices calling out spe cial constables, and the pensioners were also required to meet at the barracks. Various rumours were abroad yesterday and last night, and a good deal of anxiety was felt by many respecting the issue of a great meeting, announced to take place this morning, near the Asylum. At an early hour some Magis trates met at the Town-hall to swear in the special constables, and at ten o'clock a vast assemblage col tected in the waste ground near the Asylum, where the meeting was to be held by the Christian Chartists., A-large body of police were on the ground, to pre vent their entrance, but none of the people attempted to enter the ground. In a short time after, Mr. O'Neill arrived from the Christian Chartist church, in Newhall-street, which had been found insufficient to hold the persons who had met, anxious to know the proceedings which were going on. Mr. O'Neil said he expected Mr. Joseph Sturge would be there in a few minutes, and they would then hear his opinion. In a few minutes after, Mr. Sturge, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Albright, Mr. Goodrich, Mr. O'Neil, and others of the Complete Suffrage Society, went up to Super intendent Atkins, followed by the whole mass of people, and on being told that the orders of the force were to disperse any assemblage, Mr. Sturge stated that he was aware a .proclamation had been issued, and he was willing to promote a peaceable dispersion ; and would, if wished, say a few words to the people to in duce them not. to infringe the law. The superin tendent said his orders were not to permit any meet ing. He was quite sure Mr. Sturge could materially assist in preserving peace, and would leave him to take his own course. l'he concourse, with the above gen tlemen at their head, then went forward to an open spot, where Mr. Sturge presented himself at the win dow of a workman's house, and was received with ' great cheers • after Which he said he came to the meeting with a view to give his be s t a d v i ce t o th e people at this crisis ; but finding th a t the authori ties had thought proper to prevent the meeting from being held, and to employ the force present for that purpose, however much his views might be apposed to the authorities on the subject, the people ought to distinguish between a bad law, and those who administered it. Such being the case, he thought, for the sake of the great cause, and for the sake of tie people themselves, that they ought not to expose themselves, by holding the meeting, to the consegences of violating the law. He thought the cause would gain fir more by the people showing their determination not to cause confusion or violence than to resist a law, however bad it might be. He could assure the meeting that their friends were not in: ctive. An address to the middle classes was about to be issued, and it had been resolved to summon a who would assemble it a Conference, elected fortnight, when e y n t h i e n pe o eas u p lree,s would be adopted which, he hoped, would have a beneficial effect. It was his ardent hope that the.pcorest man then present would enjoy all the rights of the richest, and he trusted that they would show by their example, by their peaceably dispersing, that they were qualified for civil rights.—(Loud cheers.) He believed that such conduct to-day in Birmingham would greatly advance their cause.,--(Cheers.) EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL OF A CHARTIST LEADER. I have already informed you of the apprehension and committal of Wright, to take his trial at the next Chester assizes for being concerned in a riot and con spiracy on the 11 th instant. The following are the brief rarticulars of the examination, so far as we have been able to collect them, the Magistrates refusing to allow the case to be reported. The Magistrates assembled in the Court-house, and a full bench was composed of the Mayor, Sir Ralph Pendlebury, Messrs. Richard Sykes, John Marsland, P. E. Marsland, W. Andrew, John Thornhill, Charles Bather, Robert Gee, and Thomas Walmsley. , Mr. Saddler, superintendent of police, described the nature of the riot, which took place on the 11th in stant. lie said a mob, amounting 'to 20,000 per sons, armed with sticks and bludgeons, assembled in the town, and after stopping all the mills, attacked the union workhouse on Shaw-heath. The military and civil authorities assembled to disperse the mob, and several prisoners - were taken. During the exami nation of the prisoners on the spot, the prisoner and others went, to the Magistrates, demanded their re lease, and told the Magistrates they would not be an swera'ale for the consequences of a refusal. Since that period the witness said the town had continued in a state of disturbance, large meetings had been held at which the prisoner bad been and taken an active part, and he was that morning (Saturday) appre hended in the act of posting placards near the' Court house. The following is a copy of the placard : " Delegates' resolution. (Passed unanimously.)— That the conduct of the civil authorities of this bo - rough in suppressing meetings is calculated to excite ill-feelings among the peaceable inhabitants, we there lbre approve the principle of clubs, societies, and others running on the banks for gold to provide the poor with bread until the rights of the people be esta blished. " JOHN IVRIGHT, Chairman. " August 19, 1842. " P.S. People of Stockport ! be firm ! be prudent ! be determined, but be orderly." Longson, one of the borough police, deposed to at tending several meetings, at which the prisoner was present and occupied the chair. At these meetings violent language was used, calculated to excite breaches of the peace. He produced a number of documents connected with the proceedings to raise wages, and which were found in the prisoner's pos session. Some of them showed that the prisoner had acted as chairman at various meetings, and that he was one of the trades' delegates who had held their meetings in Manchester. The prisoner addressed the bench at considerable length, stating that all his proceedings were of a peaceable character, and that he had done all he could to prevent the people of other towns from destroying' property. The Magistrates, however, committed him for trial on a charge of conspiracy. THE TURN-OUT AT MERTHYR TYDVIL. MERTHYR, SUNDAY NlGHT.—Everything has been quiet here to-day. The workmen, or rather the Chartist portion of them, have held their private meetings, at which they deprecated all violence, and in consequence of the caution published by the Ma gistrates they resolved to abandon their intention to hold their public meeting at the place originally in tended, to-morrow morning, and to meet in-doors at Caerdraw instead ; at the same time they determined to invite the publicans and shopkeepers to join them at a public meeting at the Market-square, at five o'clock in the evening. The Magistrates had another meeting to-day, but I have not been able to learn whether they intend to interfere with the meeting or not. The seneral feeling is, that if they should do so there will be a disturbance. The military force here at present consists of 140 of the 11th Infantry, under the command of Colonel Mitford. The Magistrates sent despatches to the Home-office last night, and also to Colonel Bishop, Pontypool, commandant of the district, and a troop of the Scots Greys, who were stationed at Exeter, and some more Infantry, are expected to arrive at Cardiff to-morrow, whence they will be brought on by the Taff-vale railway. Matters will be brought to a crisis here to-morrow or on Tuesday, and it is to be hoped will end in the men returning to their work ; but all the men in the Cy fi rtha, Penydarren, Aberdare, Gydlas, have resolved to turn out to-morrow, and the only works in this neighbourhood to which the men are expected to re turn are the Dowlais, belonging to Sir John Guest. The men at these works arc said to be so well affected, that they have offered to assist the authorities in pre serving the peace ; and they threaten if the turn-outs come there to attempt to force them to join in the strike, to " give them a good thrashing." Sir John arrived here to-day, and will, no doubt, . , CANADA. All is quiet and happy in this part of the world, Lady Bagot has given a grand . drawing-room in Quebec. A great number of distinguished ladies and gentlemen were presented to her. Her dress was re markable for a large display of jewels in her tiara and stomacher. One of the Papers has the following remarks about the family : " One general expression of congratulation was heard that the province had now at the head of society the lady of the Governor-General, who, accompanied by-a. family of daughters, cannot fail in giving a tone to the manners of her circle, which will shed the most beneficial influence on the deportment and morals of that numerous class who borrow their examples from the great, and are prone to fashion their conduct on the example set by their superiors in station, more es pecially of those who hold the first position in the land." IRON STEAMER.—An iron steamer, for the use of the Royal Navy on Lake Ontario, has lately arrived out from home. It came, of course, in pieces, but the Government having sent out competent persons, it is to be put up forthwith. In the same vessel which brought out the iron steamer, arrived the mag nificent engines of the steam-frigate Cherokee, now almost ready for launching. We have received intelligence en which we can rely, to the effect that - the Lords of the Admiralty have determined to put the naval establishments at Point Frederick on a substantial and permanent footing..--Kingston Paper.

BLrANUFACTURED GOODS FOlt EXFORT.—The al most total suspension of business in Manchester during a second week has almost stopped the '.rani, of goods in tended for shipment Very few have been sent off, and vessels have either been prevented from sailing or have been delayed beyond the appointed time by the non-ar rival of goods. Business in Manchester will, it is hoped, be resumed to-day, and trade run once more in its accus tomed c hannel.—Liverpool ra..Em, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.—This town is quiet, and the fear entertained by the inhabitants for its safety seems to be in a measure dispelled. The Tamworth Yeomanry have relieved the troop of the 2d Regiment of Dragoons, and a trocp of the 12th Regiment of In fantry, under the command of Sir Robert Douglas, are stationed here. The Magistrates are sitting at the Leopard Hotel, the head quarters for the military. 82 14-g -14 NOTTINGHAM, Monday, Four o'ClOck, During the forenoon of this day, an assemblage of several hundreds of operatives who have not resumed work took place, on Burton-leys and the fields ad joining, north of the town, and towards 12 o'clock proceeded on the Arnold-road, to meet a large force coining in that direction ; at Sherwood, three miles from the town, 2,000 men from Arnold were met and joined by the Nottingham mob. At this instant they were surprised by the appearance of the Magistrates, Mr. W. Taylor, and others, with a strong military force from the barracks ; a general flight over hedge and ditch immediately occurred, but two of the ring leaders (Lilly, and a little fellow a tailor by trade) were captured. At the bottom of Gallows-hill, one I ,-;+ ,s~, ~y take. an active part with the Magistrates to-morrow. lie is said to be deservedly popular amongst his work people, having kept his works going to the fullest pos sible extent. All the furnaces are at present " on," xi.nt one, which is being repaired. During the winter, in consequence of the resolution of the iron masters to reduce the making of iron one-fourth, the greatest distress prevailed, in endeavouring to allevi ate which Sir John and Lady Charlotte Guest were unceasing in their attentions to the wants of the poor work-people. Besides contributing his ordinary an nual subscription to the benevolent fund established by Lady Guest, Sir John subscribed 201. per month for the relief of the poor ; and as soon as the time during which the proprietors had resolved to reduce the make had expired , Sir John again put on the furnaces. We have made some inquiries to get some data as to the extent of the existing distress in this district, and from all that we have been able to gather, we think that we are within the mark in saying that at least one-fburth less is paid. in wages now than about twelve or eighteen months ago ; not that the wages are reduced to that extent, but, in consequence of the bad state of the iron -trade, which has thrown num bers out of work, a great many of whom have emi grated to America and try Spain. With every dispo sition on the part of; we believe, all the proprietors, without exception, to meet the wants of the workmen, there mast of necessity be great distress when the price of iron is now from 41. 10s. to .5/. per ton, when in 1840 it was 81. to el., which was pointed out to the men by Mr. Henry Crawshay, when they waited upon him to request an advance of wages to the rate of 1840, asking them how they could reasonably expect what they asked, when the y knew as well as he the state of the trad e . S o far as the iron 7 masters are concerned, it would be a relief to them, as far as the make of iron is concerned, that the men should strike for a time, for they are being paid out of the capital of their employers, with thousands of tons of iron on hand, for which there is no demand. Employment is, therefore, diminished, - and the rate of wages lower than it has been ; and it is little short of absolute insanity in the men to attempt to coerce the master into giving higher wages; and we really do not believe that such is the rea' object of the present movement in this quarter. It is only used as a pretence to further their designs (as they think) by some of the most ignorant of Chartists. Indeed, the thing speaks for itself—there has been no attempt to reduce the wages on the part of the masters, and why, therefore, should men who are employed forsake their employment, and raise an o:Itc:y of distress, if they had r ot some other object in view. Let us hope that the honest and deluded por tion of the workmen will soon see their error, and re turn to their lawful occupations. The filowing, we have learned, from a disinterested source, is the pre sent rate of wages :- -Colliers, 14s. per week ; puddlers and firemen. average about 255. per week ; and corn man labourers ls. 10d. _per day and their coals. GLASGOW. ARRIVAL OF A DELEGATION FROM MANCHESTER. GLASGOW, SATURDAY EYENING.—A good deal of sensation WB3 created in town this" afternoon, imme diately after the publication of the Saturday Post, con taining the following paragraph : " We have heard this afternoon of the arrival in Glasgow of a delegation from Manchester, . and other of th disturbed English districts, whose object, so far as can be ascertained from present appearances, is to induce a general strike amongst the operatives here. If they are successful with the various influen tial trades' leaderS, with whom they seek interviews, there can be no doubt that Glasgow will speedily wit ness a repetition of the unfortunate scenes now of daily occurrence in Manchester, and the other manufactur ing English towns." This — statement I believe to be perfectly correct, though what has yet been their success it is impossible to deterinine. It cannot be doubted, however, so far as the number of the unemployed and the wretched condition of the working classes are concerned, that these agents have plenty of material to work upon. The effect of such a movement in Glasgow, which every right-minded man w ill p ra y ma y b e long averted, would be productive of the most tearful con sequences. Some idea of the extent of the depression here (as affecting not the lowest paid operatives alone, but extending to the highest grade of workmen) may be formed, when I state that in one large thundry, which a short time ago employed about 700 men, comprising engineers, machine-makers, &c., there are only now about twenty in regular employ, and these are only retained to keep open the establishment. Another class of workmen (tenters of factories) have been seriously affected by our decreasing trade. It is computed that in Glasgow there are about 200 of them obtaining a small pittance from their brethren, weekly, for their support. Dressers are in like cir cumstances, their description of labour being super seded by starching machines, &c., and there are not less than 150 of them gettingsupport from their society. All other trades of what is considered the better class, are similarly circumstanced ; and when these things, in addition to other exciting causes, are taken into account, it is frightful to contemplate the masses of people which a general strike would turn into the streets. The citizens upon many occasions have had to contemplate with alarm and surprise the immense crowd - of di: orderly characters which on a Queen's birth-night, or some such " rejoicing " occasion, can in a few minutes be collected on a given point for a mere matter of- " fun" and boyish disturbance. What would be the case with our manufacturing population, already rendered desperate by pinching poverty, joined to these, is too alarming to think of with calm ness. The reflection that these " agents " may find our labouring classes too ready to listen to their seductive tale is what makes such a paragraph as the above of more than ordinary interest at the present time, and forces upon all classes the thought that when such things are staking place, real danger is to be apprehended. THE MINING DISTRICTS IN SCOTLAND. (From the Glasgow Saturday Post.) CAMPSIE.—'We are glad to be able to state, that the struck workers in the alum works of this district, have now come to terms with their masters, and are again at their usual employment. We cannot say anything yet however, in reference to the Campsie colliers. We believe they are still " out.". _ _ COATBIZIDGE —By a letter from Coatbridge, of date this morning, we learn that " there was an unusual bustle visible amongst the working classes here yes terday, owing to one of the iron-stone pits of Dun dyvan having commenced working. The men had an interview with their employer, Mr. Wilson, and although they are still unsettled as to several minor details, they have agreed to 4s. a day." The writer anticipates, but for this we see no substantial grounds, that the rest of the miners in this quarter will follow by the end of next week. . . BARRILEAD.-All the colliers in this district have stopped working. Notwithstanding the strike, how ever, we are happy to know that no complaints fro': the farmers or other proprietors of farm produce in this neisbbourhood have, yet been forwarded to the - We are informed that at the meeting of the Ayr shire colliers on Thursday, they resolved to strike, after giving the regular warning, unless their de mands were in the interval complied with. CLACKMANNANSIIIRE.--ALLOA, AUGUST 7.—The greater portion of the colliers in Clackmannanshire have struck work. Some of the masters of these works resolved on making an example of some of the supposed ringleaders of the strike, and, accordingly, several police and other officers were sent last night (Wednesday) to Clackmannan to apprehend them; but whenever they made their appearance , an d their purpose was seen into, they were set upon by a mob— mostly women and boys—who gave the officers a most severe handling. One officer is lying danger ously wounded about the head ; another got three of his ribs driven from the back bone. Report says that military have been sent for. The constables lately sworn in in Alloa have all got notice to keep them selves in readiness. (From the Caledonian Mercury of Saturday.) On Friday a general meeting of the colliers of Mid and East Lothian took place at Musselburgh Links, which was attended by about 1,000 indi viduals, 800 of whom might be colliers. Wilson was again in the chair, and proposed the resolutions adop ted at Lionghead, with the addition of a fourth, to the effect that no single body should accept those terms until they were agreed to by all the masters. Meikle,. from Whitehill, rose to propose an amendment, but was put clown by clamour, and drew off his party to another part of the Links, where he advised them to return to their work, and trust to the justice of their employers ;• arguing that as there was a large supply of coals above ground, their labour would be for some time in less demand. Smith, a supposed delegate from Holytown, stated to the general meeting that he understood the greater part of the colliers in the west had returned to their work—the masters, as he had heard, having agreed to their terms. The whole as semblage separated peaceably, and it is generally ex pected that those of the colliers in the quarter who have struck, and who form a minority of the whole, will resume work in the beginning of next week. AIEETING OF COMMISSIONEES OF SUP- PLY FOR THE COUNTY OF LANARK. - . At a meeting of Commissioners held in the Court hall, yesterday, at Hamilton, Lord Belhaven in the chair, it was agreed on, the motion of his Lordship, to vote the .sum of 300.1., for the purpose chiefly of pro tecting the miners who are disposed to accede to the terms of the masters, in opposition to the desire of their fellow-workmen. A meeting of the county gentlemen was held immediately afterwards, over which his Grace the Duke of Hamilton presided, at which a long discussion ensued as to the present alarming appearances of the country from the num ber of struck workmen. After a number of speeches and motions on the subject of the grievances com plained of by the men, it was agreed to recommend the sheriff, magistrates, and justices of the county to do their duty in reference to seeing that the workmen were not defrauded of their weights by the masters.— Glasgow Saturday/ Post. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CITY, MONDAY EVENING TIMES.—The frauds connected with the Customs, which have been alluded to in the papers, are now in a regular course of investigation. A co ll us i on, i t seems, has existed among parties, who, by the consti tution of their office, were inte n d e d to ilie " checks upon each other, but who have, in fact, aided each other in the work of depredation, which, it is stated, has been carried on to a most formidable extent, within a pe riod of perhaps ten years. Eight persons, it is under stood, have been already suspended, some of them . parties who have long held responsible situations un - der Government. At present, from the constitution of the Board of Customs, and the secret manner in whiell all frauds on the revenue are investigated, the details of the affair have not transpired in any sub stantial shape ; but it has created a great consterna tion among the officers themselves, who scarcely know to what it m a y l ea d, as t h e number of suspensions is daily increasing. A great annoyance is inflicted on commercial men, and indeed on all classes, by a fellow who signs " James Wolllheim, general agent, Hamburgh," in sending printed circulars, postage unpaid, of some German lottery. Several correspondents have com plained of this nuisance, which it seems difficult to stop ; but the Post-office authorities could perhaps suggest some mode. . A letter received to-day from Warslow, a village situate on the confines of Derbyshire and Stafford shire, possesses some interest, as it shows the disposi tion of the present insurgents when they have left the chief seats of disturbance, and make their appearance in obscure localities, from which public intelligence is scarcely ever received. This village, which is a most quiet spot, has been kept in a constant state of alarm by large parties of stragglers from the main body of Cheshire and Lancashire rioters. All the public wOrkS in the neighbourhood have been stopped, With the exception of the Ecton mines, which were most courageously defended. A shop was broken into, and the rioters not only carried off a consider,- able sum of money, but stopped to regale themselves in the larder and cellar. At the Potteries they we re fired upon by the soldiers, and two or three were killed. S UN.—Th e principal topic of conversation to-day has been the intended meeting this evening. The accounts fromithe country, received both by the early and second deliveries of the post, gave a firmness to the funds, and that firmness has been strengthened by the preparations to prevent any breach of the peace occurring here. It is not to be concealed that the events which take place in the country, have created much sensation amotig mercantile men, and since it has been probable that like scenes may be enacted at the seat of business, great anxiety, has been felt. To a certain extent business has for some days been all but actually suspended, and idlers among mer chants, taking advantage of the leisure, have gone themselves to olNerve the precautions which have been taken. In the neighbourhood of the intended meeting large bodies of police have been stationed since the morning, and all the troops have been under arms, ready to act at a single moment ; these, with the reserve of the constabulary, will; it is to be hoped, be sufficient to: protect lives and property from any violent outbreak.

Tun Naw Tiuree.—We continue to have impor tations of cattle under the new tariff, 'and if the specu lation continues to answer the purpose of the'spirited gentlemen who engage in it, the meat market will no douhi he soon lower. On Sunday, the Emerald Isle brought twelve cows, two bulls, and twenty-four sheep. The sheep were immediately sent off into the interior. The Rob Roy, on Monday night, brought forty beasts, which were in capital condition. They were in our market next day, but not meeting with a sale equal to ' the expectations of the importer, they were sent off to Wakefield. They were fed in Jutland and Holstein, and thence driven over to llamburgh, a distance of about sixty miles. The Innisfail has also brought, since our last, cows from Gothenburg. We have had also a small importation of pigs by the Hanseatic boat, the Ham burgh.—Hull Rockingham.

Already two English ships are moored in the Bay of Besika, and the French squadron, under Admiral La Susse it is understood, about to approach the Dardanelles. The Marquis de Lavalette, who has been sent express from Paris, and is hourly expected here, is to stop at Vienna, in order to . try to induce the Austrian Cabinet to concur in the pro posed measures ; but the changes which have been made in the Turkish Ministry may render all diplomatic exertions superfluous."
