COn _~- ;w...s CITY OF LONDON SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) Three very respectable looking young men - named Patrick Tinte, Daniel Griffen, and Morris White, were indicted for an assault, upon Thomas Jackson, a constable of the City police force. The Jury having consulted for a considerable time, returned a verdlct to the effect, that the three prisoners were present at the assault, but there was no evidence toprove who struck the prosecutor. The RECORDER said he could not recs , ive a verdict in that form—it was neither a conviction nor ac quittal. If they could not agree they must be locked up for the n ' g h t, and the prisoners tried again next session. A constable was then sworn, and the jury retired in his keeping. Esher Isaacs pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with an assault upon a constable in th e employm en t o f the Commissioners of Sewers for the City. The RECORDER ordered him to be fined 405., and bound over in his own recognizances in the sum of 401. POLICE INTEL G ENC E. U ILDHALL—(THIS DAY.) * Henry Higgs, a young man of about sixteen years of age, and Henry Lewis, an old man, were placed at the bar, the former charged with stealing two silver Spoons, and the latter with receiving the same, know lhg them t o b e sto l en, the property of Mr. Crutchley, e map-seller, of Fleet-street. It appeared that the younger prisoner had been an errand-boy in the service of Mr. Crutchley. He con fessed to h av i ng stolen the spoons, and at the same time said h e h a d so ld them to the other prisoner, who lived in IV ilderness-row, for eighteen pence. He did not, know the pri soner b e f ore. l'he other prisoner denied this statement, and said be !ever saw the boy in his life. hir PETER LAURIE said he thought the prisoner 'as old in eriine, and he should therefore remand him, to get the evidence of his servant. BO W -STREET.—(THIS DAY.) A person dressed in the first style of fashion, who gave the name of Eugene Ladent, and a female, also Most fashionably dressed, known as Louise la Grange, Alias Mirubello, were placed at the bar to-day before Twyford, having been remanded from this office, on the charg e of stealing four brilliant rings, value 1001., from Mr. John Metcalfe, jeweller, of No. 8, Pall-mall, under very peculiar circumstances. Ms. Metcalf stated that on the 19th of August last, thOfernale prison er ca ll ed at his shop in a very hand some carriage, drawn by a pair of horses, and said she - wanted .to see some very fine diamond rings. Witness showed her some. She said they were not good enough, when witness said he would procure some more expensive in the course of an hour. She said if he would send them to the Countess Noaille s , 3 9; Albio n - s t reet, H yde•park, at six o'clock precisely, the Count, whom she represented to be the Secretary , to the French Embassy, would be in the way. Wit teas had sent a large case of rings. When the young !Ilan returned witnes s misse d four " half-hoop" and 'hoop" diamond rings. Witness knew nothing of the rule prisoner. Richard Nash Welshman, shopman in the employ of the last witness, deposed that on t h e 19th August last he t oo k some diamonds rings, a little ;before six o'clock in the evening, to 39, Albion-street, Hyde zess Park. When th e pr i soner came home, wit was shown into the drawing-room, and requested to see the rings that he had brought. Wit oess showed her them, and she said they were the 1 14 d she wanted. She took away all the rings, and had not been absent from the room two minutes when the landlady came to witness and asked if he had done with the lady, for that she had gone out at the front door. Witness did not see her any more till he saw her in custody- Harriett e Stow, the landlady of the house in Al bion -street, deposed that the female prisoner took her lo dgings on the 19th August (the day of the robbery). "he stipulated for the apartments at two guineas and half a w ee k. Sh e volunteered a reference, and * ,rote on a pi ece o f paper, " M. Le Compte de ,Noa 111es, attache a L'Ambassade Francais." The wit ness also corr o b ora t e d t h e whole of the latter part of t he last witness's evidence. George Ruffe, coachman to Mr. Kimell, job-mas ter, of 56, New Bond-street, proved driving the fe male prisoner to Mr. Metcalfe's, and various other place s , on the 19th August. George Corsbie, in the employ of Mr. Lawton, pawnbroker, 21, Green-street, Leicester-square, pro duced a diamond ring which had been pawned with hirn . On the 19th August, about a quarter to eight in the evening, by the female prisoner, for 101. Mr, 'Metcalfe identified the ring produced as one of the four which he had lost. infector Pearce then stated that he expected in a •I'eiv - days 'to have further evidence implicating the 'male prisoner in this transaction, and he applied to have, the prisoners remanded. TWYFORD then remanded the prisoners till aturday next. Mr. Lewis, of the Alb an y, w h o attended for the Mroners, applied to have' them admitt e d t o b a il , b ut . Twyford refused the application. •An individual, who described himself as Baron Atint, was next placed at the bar, on the charge of iteiling two brilliant rings and a pearl breast pin, the property of Mrs. Johnson, of Palace-pl ace , Scotland yard. O n the application of Inspector Pearce, he Was also remanded till Saturday next. A boy named Buit, a mail rider at the Post-office, was fully committed for trial on the charge of stealing and destroying letters. MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.) Frederick Harris, a young gentleman, was placed at the bar charged by Captain Grindlay, of North bank, Regent's -park, with running with considerable violence against him while in a tipsy state, and even 'When he took the other side of the street, still follow i9g him, and keeping up the same annoyance, pushing him about. Ills object was to get him admonished. The pri soner i n defence said he was tipsy, and was sor7 for what had occurred. 'the MAGISTRATE fined him 205., which paying, he Was discharged. J ames Davis and Ch ar l es P or t er , t wo b oys, were char ge d , him by police-constable 136 E, with obstructing when taking a prisoner to the station-house. It was proved that they had thrown some stones, ad th m e Magistr a t e a dj u d ge d eac h to a month ' s im- isonent. UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.) with E ast, a' tall, powerful man, was charged Ninth violently assaulting his own father, an old man, 69 years of age. The old man was going to get married that morning, and he d es i red the defendant, while he went to church to have th e ceremony performed, to stay at home and mind the men at work. The defendant imme diately struck the old man a violent blow which knocked him down, and while he was on the ground, kicked him and broke two of his ribs, ex claiming at the same time, " You old I'll teach 4311 to get married." The' complainant appeared to c in a very dangerous state while giving his evi dence, and was obliged to be supported in the chair. Mr. C OTTINGHAM reprobated the conduct of the son for behavi ng i n suc h a b ruta l manner to his own father, and remanded him until the latter is pro ?lnUnced out of danger. --- HE MARKETS. -(THIS DAY. ) NEWGATE AND LEADEXHALL.

Mr. Goodman's Shadow, 6 yrs (Rogers) 1 1 General Sharpe's Lara, 4 yrs SPIRIT of the PUBL!.O JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—We yesterday observed that we found a difficulty in accounting for Lord Ashbur ton's cession to the American Government of the navigation of the St.-john's. We are sorry to see our view confirmed by the tone taken by an American paper, as quoted by our correspon dent : "The honour of the United States," says the jour nalist, "and that of Maine,- has been completely satis fied by the manner in which Great Britain has treated —namely, as if she had no right to the territory in question, but sought to acquire whatwas useless to us, by an offer of a full equivalent. The two-thirds of the territory retained by Maine is made by the cession of theright to navigate the St. John's of at least as much value in a pecuniary point of view as the whole terri tory-without that right." N'ow, it this statement stood alone on the un supported dictum of an American newspaper, eve certainly should place little reliance upon it. It is plainly the interest of those Ame rican statesmen who have negotiated this treaty to persuade their countrymen that they have •• done the. Britishers ;" and we could easily believe that this assertion of the low ground taken by the English Plenipotentiary was of a piece with the affecta tion of Mr. Webster (we would willingly avoid the appearance of disrespect to that able states man, but we can call it no less), of having under stood Lord Ashburton to apologise for the burn ing of the Caroline. We wish, however, that the results of the negotiati on , as animadverted on in our y es t er d ay ' s paper, had more distinctly negatived this American journalist's assumption. Such a suspicion it would certainly have been difficult to avoid. For how stands the whole case? In honour . and equity we have not the smallest doubt of the justice of our claims to the uttermost inch. • N Ot so, however, it' we are to go by the " bond." An. unfortunate ambiguity in the treaty, arising from the gross ignorance or clumsiness of those who had to arrange its terms, has laid us open to a very Plausible, though far from conclusive, eounterclaim, which of course the Americans, when discovered, lost no time in setting up. We do not hesitate to say that the present settlement is far better, as indeed almost anything must have been better, than the late precarious state. of things —a state f things which, while leaving a case s C e lli unsettled, allowed the United States quietly to concentrate their strength, and strike at any momentat which they might find us embarrassed by disturbances or disaffection in Canada. We have had one les son on this subject, and one lesson is enough. So far at least we cannot be wrong in .congratu lating ourselves on the issue of Lord Ashburton's mission. • CHRONICLE.—If we wish to guard against the repetition of such disorders as have recently occurred in the manufacturing districts, we must do something to better the Physical and moral condition of the working-classes. If we cannot remove the desire for political changes, at least let us take care that severe and general distress shall as seldom as possible inflame the working people into having recourse to violence, in order to get the management of public affairs into their own hands. The recent disorders are full of warning on this subject. They originated in dis tress; they were laid hold of by polmeral agita tors, and turned to the account of Chartism. Their origin and the directionsubsequently given to them are alike obvious on the very face of the occurrences which took place. The first signal for disturbance was given by the reduction of wages. The men combined to resist this, left their work, and congregated together. Then it was that, hope lessthey flew to th e Ch arter of any o th er remedy, as the one general means of redressing all griev ances. The combination, which in the present day exists among all classes of workmen, extended this movement even to some of the few of those whim were at the moment subjected to no parti cular pressure. But the disorders spread gene. general distress. Th ey rally, because there was form where the assumed the most violent work men had some peculiar grievance, as was the case in Staffordshire; and among those classes .of workmen, who happened by especial good for tune to be ex e mp te d from the general pr essure , such as the D ur h am a nd Northumberl an d col liers, no acts or influence of agitators could pro duce any movement at all. And this is just what we may look t o i n f u ture. Mere political feel ing will not (for a long time at . least) lead the classes, w h e n la full employ atgood wages, to make a ny movement for altering the present c ons ti tut i on o f t h e country ; but w h at we have to d rea d i s t h a t, whenever they f ee l themselves pinched, they will organise dthem selves in gr ow i ng ly f or midable combinations for n keep the the attainm en t o f p o liti ca l powtr).a country in constant alarm by their attempts to extort universal suffrage.lt, t h e refbre th e go verning class in this country wish to save all that is most dear to them from the ruin consequent on a premature and violent establishment of universal suffrage, or from constant attempts to attain that object, of Nivhich the repetition would prove almost as ru i nous as t h e ir success Itself, they must henceforth be' vigilant in preventing the physical condition of the masses from be- coming so desperate as to provoke them to make any movement for constitutional changes. In fact; they must so govern that the masse s s h all not be led to think that they could ameliorate their own lot by getting the management of af fairs into their own hands. POST.—It is monstrous to assume that a f ew hundred cotton-manufacturers 'rep r esent and in clude the gre a t mercanti leco mm unity of Britain. We would give to the cotton-manufacturers all the weight in determining the policy of the em pire to which their number 'their capital, and their character entitle them. But they are only one section of the commerciaLworld, and even of this section it is the most Proveably worthless and narrow-minded members who are so active in endeavouring to agitate the public mind against the little that is left of the Wise old na tional system which enabled our fathers to be queath to us time wealth and power that modern doctrines have partly trifled out of our hands. We ought by all means to promote the pros perity of our commerce and shipping. But even here the foreign -cotton trade is less fruitful of benefits than many ot h er branches of commerce. • For instance, the manufactured cotton goods sent by us to the largest of our foreign cus tomers are conveyed to the but of their desti nation not in British almost exclusively in foreign bottoms. Thus instead of nourish ing the source from whi c h the English navy may be recruited, We here find time foreign cotton trade rearing • UP a rival . to our olden supremacy on the ocean,. Not so with the colo nial trade. Timber from Canada, rum and sugar from the West Indi es, fish from Newfoundland, &c. &c., are brought t o us by British sailors in British ships, and the retur n cargoes are remitted through the same carrying medium. We go not to disparage the importance of the foreign woven goods trade. Let it cou nt or what it is worth, hut, after all, it is within ourselves—within the prodigious extent of our own empire—we must look for the true mea ns of . restoring and further developing mercantile prosperity. We are avowed friends of protection for all parties—for employers and employed.. for farming and mer cantile industry. We attribute no small share of the late and the present distress to the unre stricted manner in which, durin g a flush o f " briskness" in their trade, the northern mill owners are allowed to tamper with the life-and death interests of tens of th °Psandsof operatives. ADVERTISER.—We Published yesterday a document of the very highest Public interest and importance. It was the addres s of the Council of time National Complete -ummrage Union to Political Reformers of all shades of opinion." In t wo points of view this address is worthy of the utmost. admiration. It contains nothing at which the foes of Reform may carp, and it aims at a practical, solid, clearly-defined object, in a spirit above reproach, stern, , elevated, and on the offensive only against vicnence, Seeking.reform in the institutions, it is yet guarded against all unconstitutionality of proceedin g or purpose ; hat ; there can he no doubt that -u virtual influence and result it will succeed in e stablishing a real House of Commons in the place of the present mock one, and for this let Whigs and Tories be prepared. It is the wish of the Council that a " N ational Conference," composed u of representa tives from all parts of time kingdom be held at Birmingham on the 27th of h a - -eember next, a ..: 1 4 wish to which all staunch :Refo rmers an d real friends of the popular cause will assuredly re spond, when, as it is easy to foresee, such an ex pref sion of the general will will take place as shall serve to teach the .onpressors . of the country that a veritable reign of jostke is at ancient hand to supersede t monopolies and tyran nies. Whatever is to be done, h owever, is to be effected only through legal means,and for national, in Contradistinction to personal or party, purposer. o But in the election 'of repre sentatives, to meet. i n such a Conferen ce " says , the Address, " all party spirit must he ex cluded, all efforts for fbrcing individual views through the power of numbers Must be avoided; a victory obtained defeat in overbearing policy, would be to our object—that of haviog a fairly constituted National -Conference, a . hody In whom all shades of' Reformers among the middle and working classes may place con fidence, and under whose peaceful and legal guidance we may unitedly contend till we have seoured: the blessing and fruits of freedom." _ .

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS, CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIAIES.—The satisfaction which was generally diffused by the news of the settlement of the boun dary treaty yesterday, is in some measure counter acted by the almost prohibitive rates which the new tariff imposes on several important articles, especially cotton manufactures. The letters from Liverpool Teak of the effects of this tariff as likely to prove in purious ; but it is some consolation, that from the present aspect of atnirs in America, there appears every probability that it will not be of long duration. The new apportionment of the population, according to the late census, will, it is expected, give such ad ditional weight to the agricultural interests of the Union, that the next Congress which will be elected on the new arrangement, will certainly not allow a high tariff to remain. The requisition that all duties shall be paid in hard money does not seem greatly to displease the London merchants, since after severe losses incurred by trading with persons of no real means, they will now have a kind of guarantee that those who take their goods will be in some mea sure responsible parties. SUN.—The prices of Consols rather improved at the latter end of the day, and the last rates were 928 buyers for Money, and 93 to 93* for the Account. India Stock, 249 251 ; 'Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51 prem. . The Foreign Securities were not quite so firm : Belgian, 102 103; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.. 52i 528; the Five per Cents., 1022 103 ; Danish, 83 84 ; and Braziliau, 671 688. The quotation for Mexican rose to a similar price as yesterday, 351 f. The Share Market was a shade bett er ; L on d on and Birmingham were, 181 183 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 42 44 ; Great Western, 82 83 ; the half Shares, 59 598; South Western, 57 58 ; North ern and Eastern, 36 37 ; North Midland, 56 58; the New, 27 28; South Eastern and Dover, 22 221 ; Eastern Counties, 88 82 ; Blackwall, 68 7 and Brighton, 33 331 per share. The rates of Exchange all exhibited an improvement on those of Tuesday—Amsterdam, ,12 52 12 61; Rotterdam, 12 61 12 61; Antwerp, •12 41; Ham burgh, 13 11:} 13 12 ; Frankfort, 1502 1501; Paris,, 25f. 75c. 25f. 80c.; Vienna, 9 551 :9 56; Lisbon,, 521 523-, all at three months. Although this was the day appointed for settling time bargains in the Bonds, but little variation oc curred in the quotations :—Colombian, 204 21 ; Peru vian, 15 16; Portuguese Five per Cents., 358 354; the Three per Cents., 204 21-.};_ Spanish Five per Cents., 161 161 ; the Three per Cents., 21 211. The departure of the Hindostan steamer to India, via the Cape, has caused some attention in the City. The idea of the possibility of a complete line of ves sels to traverse the route has never yet been aban doned, and parties are sanguine enough to believe that it will ultimately be successfully carried into opera tion. The great obstacle which has hitherto existed is the want of a supply of coals at an intermediate sta tion, but the late discoveries in the neighbourhood of Algoa Bay will, it is supposed, obviate this difficulty. It has been urged that the route through Egypt offers such_ facilities as will supersede the necessity of the longer passage, and doubtless so' long as Mehemet Ali rules in that country, So long will English travellers receive a safe conduct. Sufficient, however, has transpired to show that the safe transit of Europeans is not by any means securely guaranteed across the Dekrt, and hence the necessity of forming such a fleet, 'and providing such auxiliaries, as will preclude the necessity of any dependence upon foreign Powers. MRS. HALL'S IRELAND, Part XXIIL How and Parsons, London, 1842. In the present Part of this popular work, than, a view of the city of Londonderry, engraved by Bradshaw, from an original design by Creswick, wit rare skill and felicity of touch ; together with two maps, one of the counties of Down and Tyrone, and the other of Fermanagh, Leitrim, and Longford. The literary portion of the work is conducted by Mrs. Hall, with her usual care and spirit ; her sketches of Lough Erne, with its picturesque islets and small wooded bays, are particularly graphic; and she ob serves of this charming vicinity, " travel where they will, in this singularly beautiful neighbourhood, lovers of the picturesque will have rare treats at every step. It is impossible to exaggerate, in describin g the surpassin g l ove li ness o f t h e whole locality. How many thousands are there who, if just ideas could be conveyed to them of its attractions, would make their annual tour hither, instead of up the hacknied and soddened Rhine—infinitely less rich in natural graces, far inferior in the studies of character it yields, and much less abundant in all the enjoyments that can recompense the traveller. Nothing in Great Britain —perhaps nothing in Europe--can surpass in beauty, the view along the whole of the road that leads into the town of Enniskillen, along the banks of the upper Lough Erne." PRACTICAL INTRODUCTION TO THE • STUDY OF GERMAN. Simphin and Marshall. This Manual, the production of M. Heinrich Capel, professes to arrange for the learner the early forms and inflexions of the German tongue, not in the style of the ol.d grammarians, such as Adelung and others, according to the antiquated Latin order, but in a new and facilitative method, which, after six years' actual proof in instructing the large classes at King's Col lege, the Professor approves as the best. Instructions, either by word or book, are sure to be valuable when proceeding from a practical source. and under this im pression we strongly recommend the work to students. THE BRITISH MAGAZINE. Clem Smith, Henrietta-street. The September Number of this periodical opens with a notice of Cyril Lucar, the Patriarch of Con stantinople, coeval with our Jr.mes the First and his successor Charles. A document appears in the course of the article, illustrative of the state of the Greek Church in the Patriareh's time ; and, in a statement of its ceremonies, is noticed a curious, but now obso lete, observance in the performance of the Eucharist. It was entitled " The Ceremony of the Sacred Parti - cles." The particles were nine in number, consisting of very minute portions of bread, and a tenth of St. Mary the mother of the Lord, which, after the pouring of the wine and water into the cup, being taken from one loaf of oblation, were placed near the bread of the Eucharist. This ceremony was intended to signify that the condition of the saints is even now happy, and, being joined as members to their heavenly Head, tri umph with Him. " A Call at the Rectory," is a neat and characteristic lampoon upon the relation between poor stipendiary curates and their paymasters, the rectors.

Last evening, orders were received by Sir Francis Collier, the Senior Officer in command at the Dock yard, Woolwich, to make the necessary preparations for the reception of her Majesty, who, it was stated, would in all probability reach this port by ten o'clock at night. About six o'clock, the Earl of Haddington, with Sir William Gage, arrived at the Dockyard, and had a conference with Sir Francis Collier, who immediately ordered out the guard of honour of the Royal Marines, under the command of Cap tain Pratt, on the parade, where they piled arms, waiting the arrival of her Majesty. Shortly after this hour, Lord Bloomfield, with several other distinguished military and naval officers, took his post on the ground, and by nine o'clock the whole of the troops required to take part in the ceremonies, were at their respective stations. A detachment of the Royal Ar tillery and the Royal Marines occupied a position to give egress to the Royal cortege as it should pass out of the Dockyard, and from this hour till twelve, the greatest anxiety was manifested to gather tidings of her Majesty's arrival. The discharge of a quantity of maroons at Barking disturbed the tranquillity of the officers posted on the look-out, but it was soon dis covered that the Royal squadron had not arrived in sight. By ten o'clock, the Princess Royal (one of the new boats of the General Steam Navigation Com pany) presented a brilliant illumination, which in sonic small measure compensated for the disappoint ment occasioned by the non-arrival of her .Majesty, the whole vessel, from the rigging to the deck, being decorated with va r i ega t e d l amps, w hil e at the fore part of the vessel there were tasteful devices of V. It., surmounted by the Crown, and supported on either side by the Star of Brunswick. The Directors were on board waiting the signal of the Mercury, an other. of their vessels, which they had despatched down the river to give timely advice of the approach of the Royal squadron. Up to half-past twelve last night no notice of the appearance of the squadron had been given, either by rocket, signal, or otherwise, and in a short time afterwards the mul titude dispersed. At an early hour this morning the military were under arms in the Dockyard ; the artillerymen pre pared to fire a Royal salute, and out in the River the Princess Royal steamer, brilliantly illumipated,served as a beacon to guide the Trident with her Royal freight, should she make her appearance during the hours of darkness. During the night one or two false alarms were given, which occasioned a general stir ; 4 but as morning approached, the general op i n i on seemed to be that there was little chance of the Tri dent until the strength of the flood tide came on. The soldiers and marines on duty accordingly formed quite a picturesque bivouac in the Dockyard, sleeping in groups amidst their piled arms, and the warlike stores and appurtenances around. The morning broke beautifully with merry sunshine, forming, indeed, a striking contrast to the dreary weather which, some few days ago, heralded her Ma jesty's departure ; and as the rigging of the vessels in the distant reaches of the river became visible, every eye was anxiously directed to trace the expected steamer on her way. The morning advanced, and the Dockyard became crowded with company. The Earl of Haddington, the First Lord of the Admiralty, was early in atten dance, and we observed also the Earl of Jersey, Lord Bloomfield, and several other noblemen and official personages. Shortly after nine the Black Eagle and Rhadaman thus Government steamers, made their appearance, and no long period elapsed before the distant sound of firing gave evidence that the Trident was near. A fine easterly breeze was blowing, and from the state of the tide, half-flood, a considerable number of fine large steamers accompanied the Trident on her progress up the river. Three large vessels in parti cular, two ships, and a barque, in tow of lug-boats and gaily dressed with flags, gave an imposing ap pearance to the fleet ; while the steamers around, being all large sea-going boats, formed a much more majestic escort than the flotilla of river craft which accompa nied the Royal George to the Nore. At ten o'clock she was opposite the Dockyard, and surrounded with a numerous fleet of boats. An Ad miralty barge, steered by Admiral Sir Francis Col lier, was shortly floating at the gangway, the accom modation ladder, covered with green cloth, was rigged out, and at half-past ten her Majesty, amid the cheers of the assembled multitude and the thunder of can non, stepped with Prince Albert into the barge, the rowers gave way, and the next moment the Royal pair were safely landed. The Royal standard was then struck on board the Trident, and hoisted in the Dockyard ; the troops which were drawn up irk , double lines presented arms, and the Royal carriage drove rapidly along amid the loud acclamations of the crowd. Her Majesty looked somewhat pale, but was animated and cheerful ; she wore a tartan satin dress. The Prince, who was in plain clothes, appeared rather sunburnt. A • numerous party of police patrolled the route taken by her Majesty, and the utmost excitement prevailed along the whole line. A Smyrna letter of the 19th ult., quoted by the Leipsic Gurtve, says :—" The differences between rsia and Turkey do not appear to be yet appeased, fur troops are stilt marching towards the frontiers. The day before yesterday the Governor declared to the British Consul that, in consequence of the suspension of diplomatic intercourse between the Porte and the Shah, all Persians would be obliged to quit Turkey, and, therefor e , B r i t i s h subjects would do well to settle their accounts with Persian merchants.

INVESTIGATION INSTITUTED BY THE HOME SECRETARY. On Monday morning last, at ten o'clock, Mr. W. Russell, inspector of prisons, entered upon the inves tigation at the gaol here, of the conduct of the gaoler and turnkey, in the late memorable cropping affair. The inquiry was held before a very full meeting of the Magistrates ; but as reporters were excluded, our account of the proceedings must necessarily be limited to what has transpired from various quarters, satisfy ing ourselves with furnishing our readers with a less detailed report than we could have wished, but never theless with, we believe in substance, a tolerably cor rect version of what passed. Messrs. Fitzjames and Gladstone were first called upon by Mr. Russell to state their account of the proceedings of which they so justly complained. Their depositions of what passed, which were taken down in writing by Mr. Russell, appeared to make considerable impression on him, as well as on those Magistrates present who had not previously heard the account from these gentlemen's lips. The gaoler was then heard in his defence, in which he endeavoured simply to prove that he had treated the prisoners in question in a similar manner to all others committed to his custody under the same cir cumstances, sheltering himself under the rules laid down for his guidance, which (although it appears they are capable of much amendment) were sadly overstrained, in the opinion of the Inspector of Pri sons, to cause them to bear the construction at tempted to be put on them. After the examination of the gaoler, Mr. Coleman, the surgeon to the gaol, was called, whose evidence merely . ,went - to prove that Messrs. Fitzjames and Gladstone, on the usual examination taking place, were perfectly clean in their persons and dress. The turnkey was next examined, who gave, we hear, a very straightforward evidence, but certainly rather condemnatory than otherwise of the haste re. sorted to in this instance by the gaoler. The inquiry was conducted with the utmost fair ners on the part of Mr. Russell, who, at the close of the proceedings, addressed a few remarks to Messrs. Fitzjames and Gladstone, expressive of his deep re gret that they should have been subjected to what certainly appeared to him an undue and unnecessary rigour on the part of the gaoler. He could not, how ever, discover from the evidence he had taken, any actual malice towards them on the part of the gaoler ; and though he chose to strain, as he certainly did, sonic of his prison regulations to the utmost, instead of using a prudent discretion in carrying them into prac tice, yet it might certainly be said he had acted within the letter of his instructions, and was, there fore, probably free from the imputation of &uilt. At the same time, he ob serve d t o Messrs. Fitzjames and Gladstone, that they ought to have been aware that singing and uproarious conduct of any kind could not for a moment be tolerated in a prison ; and that the gaoler, as far as that was concerned, was perfectly right in checking it. — Subsequent to Messrs. Fitzjames and Gladstone leaving the room, Mr. Russell had the gaoler and turnkey before him, animadverting in strong terms upon their past conduct, and cautioning them for the future. He likewise called the attention of the Ma gistrates to the immediate revision of their prison rules. We hear that a separate communication to the Ma gistrates has been made from the Home-office, requir ing their explanation of the affair. THE AMERICAN DlVER.—Smith, the diver, took another leap from Sunderland Bridge, on Monday, amidst a vast crowd of spectators, but it nearly cost him his life. The height is upwards of 110 feet, but he darted into the water without Tear, and afterwards arose appa rently in avery feeble and exhausted condition. On being brought ashore, he was seized with convulsions, when it was found necessary to bleed him. At first the blood flowed slowly, and was as black as treacle, showing the great congestion which hanaken place in the lungs, to gether with the gorged state of the heart and blood vessels. He suffered for some time from nervous ex haustion, but ultimately rallied. A third attempt would prove fatal. • This morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, as a man named William Wills, in the employ of Mr. Hutton, News-agent, Catherine-street, Strand, was crossing New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, he was ob served suddenly to stagger and fall. as if in a fit. Police constable Burgess, 529, hastened to his assistance, and, with the aid of another person, conveyed him into the house of Mr. Taylor, surgeon, opposite, who endeavoured to bleed him, but without avail, the vital spark having for ever passed away. Mr. Taylor gives it as his opinion that life had instanta neously become extinct, arising most probably from ex treme exhaustion. The deceased, who was much re spected, was 40 years of age, and resided at No. 2, Cross street, Drury-lane, had, it appears, until lately, been out of employment upwards of two years. He has left a wife and child to deplore their sudden bereavement. The wife of a workman residing in the Rue St. Victor was a few days ago delivered of her 22d child, at the age of 58 years!—Paris paper.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY MORNING.—We regret to have to record a renewal of the disturbances which have lately produced such serious alarm throughout the whole empire. Such, however, is our task, though in consequence of the disposition of the police force and special constables, no serious mischief can happen. Had it not been for the prompt movements of the civil force, we have no doubt yesterday would have witnessed the destruction to a considerable extent of property belonging to those masters who have suc ceeded in obtaining hands to work at their power looms. The disposition of the weavers in Manchester and Salford seems to be to prevent, if possible, the resumption of work, unless the masters accede to the demands for an advance of wages. Many of the masters are willing to do this, particularly in Salford, but refuse to do so without their contemporaries being placed on the same footing as themselves. An attack was on Thursday made on Messrs. Garstang's factory in Salford, which was at an early hour visited by a large snob of men and women,—the hands all turned out, and the windows broken. The mob thence proceeded to the factory of Messrs. Morris, in Oldfield. road, where a number of strangers are em ployed as weavers, instead of the turn-outs. At this place, however, they were repulsed by the hands of Messrs. Morris, who were armed for the purpose of self-defence. The men also took three of the ring leaders into custody, and handed them over to the police. After this the mob held a meeting in the Chartist-room, George-street, where resolutions were come to that they would not resume work until they obtained the wages they had in 1839. In the course of the afternoon reports were re ceived at the Town Hall, Manchester, that mobs were collecting in various parts of the town, parti cularly in the neighbourhood of the large factories in Oxford-road, belonging to the Oxford-road Twist Company, to Messrs. Birley, and to Mr. Marsland. A number of windows were broken, and the mob threatened to turn out the hands, but they ap peared to act with great caution, for immediately any violence is committed the mob take to their heels, lest they should be pounced upon by the police. About five o'clock in the afternoon the Chief Superintendent of Police, Mr. R. Beswick, left the Town Hall at the head of a body of police and special constables to proceed to the places where the mobs were collecting. On reaching the mill of Mr. Mars land, in Oxford-road, it was found that the mob, tiller breaking the windows, had proceeded towards Gaythorne. Mr. Beswick went in that direction at a rapid pace, and found a mob of from 700 to 1,000 persons about leaving the mill of Messrs. Fernley, having broken about 100 windows. On Mr. Beswick making his appearance the mob turned round, and were requested by a man who seemed to be the leader, to face the police. They halted, and 4n seeing this Beswick hastened to fetch his force. their appearance the mob fled in all directions, but the leader was chased through various courts and narrow streets ; and after a gallant run of twenty minutes, he was taken into custody and lodged in the New Bailey. In the evening Mr. Beswick succeeded in capturing several other parties whom he knew to have taken an active part in the riots. They will be examined to day before the Magistrates at the New Bailey. The town continued in a state of great excitement until a late hour last night. In the neighbourhood of th e factories and on the Ashton-road, large bodies, principally of young females, marched in procession, s inging that they would not go to work until they obtained they obtained the advance. In the course of yesterday meetings of the turn-outs were held in va rious parts of the town, at which a man named Massy said he had marked several families who had gone to work in the Regent's-road mill. The meetings were. however, dispersed by the police, and several, on the remonstrance of Colonel Wemyss, separated. The town this morning is quiet, but detachments of police avid specials are marching about in all directions. NEW. BAILEY—THURSDAY. CIf.IIIGE OF CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE SECRETARY OF THE DYERS' UNION.—This afternoon John Tear, INIIO Avho has for some time past acted as secretary to the Dyers' Union, was placed at the bar before Mr. D. Maude, the stipendiary Magistrate, and Messrs. Wankly and Elias Chadwick, on a charge of rioting, and conspiring with others to turn out the hand s a t several factories and other works, at the commence ment of the present outbrtak. Mr. Cobbett, solicitor, defended the prisoner. The first witness called was a boy, named Joshua Greenough, who stated that he knew the prisoner, having worked with hi m a t M essrs. D oo le y an d Price's, fustian-manufacturers, in Manchester. On the 12th of Au gus t w i tness was in Salford acci dentally, and hearing that Messrs. Dewhirst's men were about to be turned out, he went there. Witnesa saw a mob of about one thousand persons go to the mill. The prisoner was then standing at the gate. The gate was opened, and witness heard the prisoner tell the mob to go and turn out the hands. The hands were turned out, and about thirty of them joined the mob. There was then a call of "Fall in," which the mob did, and then marched off towards the flax -mill. Tear was at the head of them as far as wit ness could see. Moses Price, engineer at Messrs. Wilson and Co.'s Adelphi print-works, in Salfbrd,gaVe similar evidence. Thomas Elison, a person in the employ of Messrs. Wilson, said the prisoner came • up to hint at his master's works on the 10th of August, took hold of him by the collar, and said, " Come out, you d—d linobstick." John Mabery, one of the police, stated that he had gone to the house of the prisoner to apprehend him. lie found a hat in the house in which was the pri soner's nam e , an d i n i t some papers, which he pro dneed. One of the papers was a copy of resolutions, and another was the placard, printed by Turner, headed " The Executive Committee of the National Charter." Mr. Maude ordered the depositions to be taken against the prisoner, and said he should send the case. to the assizes. On the application of Mr. Cobbett, however, the Bench intimated that they would admit the prisoner to bail, himself in 1001- and two sureties in 501. each. Forty-eight hours' notice to be given of the bail. GLOSSOP, THURSDAY. The turn-out in this hitherto peaceable vale is not yet at an end. Most of the mills are still idle. A party of the 65th took up their quarters yesterday, some in Howard-town, Glossop, and oth ers i n t h e im mediate neighbourhood of Brookfield, the mill belong ing to Mr. Shepley, which was lately attacked, and in defence of which that gentleman fired on the mob. The inhabitants who form the discon tents, in the neighbourhood of Glossop and Brook field, appear to entertain a very great hatred to wards Mr. Shepley, and expressions of the most horrid nature are frequently uttered against him. His property is still guarded by the military, and their presence alone is the security for his life and property. His mill is, however, at work, he having opened it at the earnest request of his workpeople, who are perfectly satisfied with their situation and the wages paid them. As the military passed along the railway yesterday from Manchester they were re ceived by the hootings and jeers of large crowds, col lected on the various bridges in the neighbourhood of Ashton, Fairfield, Staleybridge, &c. The shouts of the people were, however, received with great good humour, and it is to be hoped nothing will occur to mar the good feeling which appears to exist amongst the military towards the former. COMMITTAL FOR ATTEMPT TO MURDER.-It will be in the recollection of our readers that Mr. Cooper, an extensive manufacturer in the neighbourhood of Glossop, had his hands ttvned out, and factory stopped about three weeks ago, and that on the 24th ult. lie and two of his sons gave evidence before the Magistrates against several of the rioters, who were in consequence committed to Derby gaol for trial. On their way home, Mr. Cooper and his friends, and two of his sons, were attacked by a furious mob, se verely beaten, and one of Mr. Cooper's sons left in a field in a state of insensibility. Connected with this attack a person named Howard, a boy eighteen years old, has been committed by the Magistrates to Derby gaol, to take his trial for wound ing, with intent to murder, Joseph Cooper, jun. The facts of the case will be collected from the evidence of the following witnesses : • Joseph Cooper, jun., said he was a witness before the Magistrates on the 24th of August, against Jos. Lawton and others. Witness, his father, uncle, and brother, accompanied the prisoners, who were guarded by the soldiers, to the Norfolk Arms. They were hooted and hissed all the way by the crowd. When they had turned round the corner of the street, the mother of Joseph Lawton and the wife of another prisoner called out something, on which the mob ran at them. The two women headed the mob, and one of them came up behind witness and said he would never die in his bed for what he had done to her son. She then struck him a severe blow on the back of the head, and the mob began to throw stones. Witness and his party were obliged to run, but they were followed by the mob and all hit with stones. When he got near a stile in Mr. Howard's field he saw the, prisoner, who was throwing lumps of clay at witness; and on his reaching near a wall the pri soner took a large stone from the wall and threw it with such violence that it made a hole through his hat and knocked him down. Witness had no doubt the prisoner was the person who threw the stone. —[The hat was here produced and had a hole in it, which had evidently been done with violence, and was large enough to admit a man's fist.] The rest of the mob then came up and began to kick witness very violently. He got up, and attempted to defend him self with a stick he had in his hand, but was again knocked down, and kicked very much about the body and legs. Shortly afterwards, two persons came up to where witness was lying on the ground, and one of them took hold of him by the hands, and then re marked to the other, "He's dead, by —." Witness then lost all recollection for some time. On his re- cover . ) , he was carried to his father-in-law's house, and from thence home. He was confined to his bed for a week from the effects of the wounds. He was very much beaten about the head, back, and loins. It was evident from the appearance of the witness that he had been much bruised, and on his face, over the left eye, there was still to be observed a large wound, and another on the back of the head. The prisoner, after being cautioned by the Magis trates not to criminate himself, was asked if he wished to put any questions to the witness. He merely re marked that he was not present when the attack was made on the witness. Mr. Joseph Cooper, sen.. corroborated the evidence of his son respecting the attack of the mob on them. Joseph Cooper, son of the last named witness, fully corroborated the testimony of his father and brother. The mother and father of the prisoner here stepped forward, and wished to be examined in his behalf, on which they were sworn, and caution e d by th e Magis trates. The mother entered into a statement to show that he was not present at the attack on Mr. Cooper, and the father said he was not at home at the time, and therefore did not know where his son was. The Magistrates then informed him that he stood committed to take his trial for the offence at the next Derby assizes ; bail was refused, and the prisoner re moved. PRESIDING AT ILLEGAL MEETINGS.—A respect able looking man, named James Igoe, was brought before the bench on several charges of conspiracy, at tending illegal meetings, &c., at Glossop, for the pur pose of preventing the hands of various factories from returning to their work. He was committed for trial, but admitted to bail, himself in 1001., and two sure ties in 501. each. STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, SEPT. 16.—We can merely this week confirm our last report : the de mand continues limit e d, th e manu f ac t urers suiting their purchases to their present inconsiderable wants. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 6.—There is little or no variation in our wool market this week. On the one hand, stocks are light in the market, and on the other, the demand f o r all descriptions is ex ceedingly languid, and prices are•barely sustained. TRADE OF LEEDS.— There has been noimprove ment in our cloth markets this week, on comparison with the markets of last month. The demand still continues very dull for cloths of fine and middle qua. lities : the principal articles which are selling are beaver cloths, heavy tweeds, and fancy cloakings. Pilot cloths continue to be less in demand this season than usual. Business has been a little better in the warehouses this week, and as the drapeis are begin ning to make their purchases for the winter, there is some probability th a t t ra d e generally will be better during the next t wo mont h s t h an i t has been for some time past. BRADFORD MARKET, TKURSDAY.—We have had a full attendance of merchants in the Piece market, and more business has been done than last week. Both plain and fancy goods are in demand, and of neither description is the market very abundantly supplied. The manufacturers, however, will do well to exercise caution, and not produce any goods for stock, or they may suffer a repetition of what many have felt in former times, and which it is always policy to avoid. We learn that the demand for yarns continues steady, chiefly for home consumption and the De LaMe trade. The shippers are hardly doing as much as is usual at this season. Prices steady. There is a good supply of all kinds of wool in the market, and the staplers complain greatly at the prices offered by the spinners, which are not commensurate with the rates demanded by the growers ; consequently rather less than an averagels done.—Leeds Mercury. CHILIAN AND BUENOS AYRES BONDS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE. SUN. SIR—In your paper of this day I noticed the aa vertisement for the payment of the " forty-first divi dend" on the Chilian Bonds ; this induces me, as a considerable holder of the Buenos Ayres Bonds con tracted for that Government by Messrs. Baring and Co. in the year 1826, to inquire, through the medium of your paper, how it is that the expectations held out on the removal of the French embargo last year have not been realised ? I am well aware that the accredited Minister from Buenos Ayres to this country has strongly repre sented to his Government the claims of the Bond holders, which has in the most solemn manner pro mised its prompt attention thereto. The amount of the loan is comparatively small, being only for one million Six per Cent. Stock ; but as no dividend has been paid since July, 1827 there is 90 per cent. of overdue coup ons. T first contracted was consideredcetai r best i o o f an, all the South American securiti es ; the certainly the hi g h re spectability of the contractorsstamped thi s s t oc k as fir was Al, and some time it quoted in th e St oc k Exchange Lists even hi g h er than Chilian, whereas worth this latter stock is now 90 per cent., whilst Buenos Ayres, with its overdue coupons included, is quoted only 18 to 20 p er c ent.—l am, Sir, &c.

CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 2 7.—Great and glorious . Inews from Circassia! You know well enough that the Russians, with their Minister of War, Count Tchernicheff at their head, were by their insatiable lEmperor intended to knock the Circassians into cocked hats this year. Communications were lately made to the Circassians to come to terms of peace, and to gain time they promised to meet the wishes of the Russians, provided they could come to suitable terms. Upon this basis a truce was agreed to. In , the meanwhile there was a great gathering of the 1 I warriors of the mountains, most of whom had no more to do with the truce than the man in the moon. They, therefore, determined to attack the Giaours' camp. A few guards excepted, the whole of the . Russians were about break of day snoring as comfortably .as well-fed pigs in a sty, when in rushed the moun taineers, sword in hand ! Cut and thrust did every thing, and many a slumberer, before he had time to finish his nap, was sent to his eternal sleep. such was the rapidity with which the warriors came on, that the Russians had no time to .form and draw.• up in battle array, before they' Were dispersed, and the majority destroyed. Nothing remained but for such as had the power to run, to try their speed, many being cut down in their course. This occurring not tar from a Russian fortress called Mazga, in the north of Abascia, most of the fugitives made for that place, where they cou ld fi n d arms and hoped to rally, but the pursuers were c l ose upon their heels, and got into the fortress along with them. All who resisted were cut down, but there was still some fighting, and fifty of the mountain warriors fell, whilst about one hundred more made their exit on the bastions, which were blown into the air by the explosion of a mine or magazine. This en raged the survivors, and many Russian s ' w h o wou ld otherwise have been made prisoners became, like their companions, dead men. In a word, the slaughter was dreadful, but subsequently the conquerors sparedcounttrt lives of a great many, and sent them up They then collected their booty, which to them was valuable, as they were in want of ammunition of wh:ch they her e found an abundance. The horses, arms, clothes ' and everything of value being ab stract ., eel, they set fire to the wooden buildings, and fu me ., (fiat ely abandoned the fortress for the benefit of future evaders. This is the account I hare heard, but don't ask dates, precise localities, and so forth, for they are never to be had from the Circassians. The Russian blockade was most severe on the coast. Only three Turkish boats or vessels were there, and they • .- • were burnt ; the Circassians, therefore, to come over, had to purloin the cutter of a Russian brig of war, lying at Nardan, which they did very cleverly, laid ' three men got over to Asia Minor in this way. They say that among the prisoners were a great many °d eers and one General. Th ey s t a t e t h e num b er of Ibis dans at 20,000; but if they were half the number I should say it was a brilliant affair. Accounts from Crimea state that a great many wounded men had reached that place, but whether from this battle or not is not said. They came from Circassia, and as thellu4sians had been equally beaten in two other engagements, one at Daghistan, and one at Sotcha, I cannot say where they came from. They say that Sir Stratford Canning has positively declared to his Court, that un less 'England will support him in destroying the state quo of Syria, he will cut his stick, and abandon the embassy. Every body will be sorry for this except the Turks, with whom, it is `said, his Excellency can lilt agree. My own opinion is, that in any c.sse people will get up a row in Syria, and that if the Turkish Governor were an Aristides, with the man ners of an angel, he would be represented as a devil. Christians in general, arid - ROtish Protestants in par ticular, want a Catholic power to be created on the mountains, under the influence of France. If not exactly my opinion, I admit that it is that of the ma.- sority of persons here, and probably elsewhere. There a a rumour that Tahir Pacha, the Grand Admiral, is likely to be sent to command the army arrayed against Persia. A letter from Alexandria,: of Aug: - 26, states that the Pacha of Egypt is about to issue a year's pay to all his forces, having already commenced with the marines. The prospect of the circulation of so much specie had put the traders there in high spirits. The fleet was about to sail on a three months'. cruise : its destination was not known, but it was supposed only to be for exercising the navy. The rollowing portion of the letter is of more inter sit The intelligence ere . this doubtless has reached your island that the Pacha is about to send Artem Bey on board the Egyptian steamer Nile to Alarseilles, and from thence to Paris, to present to the King of • the French and the Royal Family certain cadeaux. The commissary will leave in the course of two or three days. Artem Bey, it is said, has received orders to obtain a loan of six million dollars from some if the moneyed men in Paris. As to his success, one scarcely knows what to state ; for, as M. Tiers is not is he once was, we doubt whether M. Guizot's influ mnce is sufficient, notwithstanding one can say, m ,tuth, that the Paella's position is infinitely better than it was before the Syrian campaign. It is further said, that Osman Bey, son of ScheritT Pacha, leave here with Artem Bey for Paris, for. the purpose 'f remaining in that city to acquire the French lan 4iiage. We understand there has been much alter ation the Paella and the Sardinian Consul- General of this place, on the:subject of the Pacha caving requested him to dismiss the Vice-Conssd at :'afro, who had treated one of the custom-house office's in a way that was not becoming. The Nile is rising `'avourably, and the aspect of the crops very promis ing." For some time past a frightful mortality - has taken place here amongst oxen and cows. Out of 5,000 head of cattle, purchased by Mehemet Ali in Sennear, not more than 500 have arrived at their des tination. This loss, which at first sight would appear simply a misfortune to the Government, may even tually prove hurtful to the population at large ; for the carcases are thrown into the canal which supplies Alexandria with . water, and. disease may affect the public health from the unwholesome state of. the only water the inhabitants can make use of.

Movements (since the 26th of August).--The Pro metheus steam-packet left for Marseilles on the night of the 26th of August, with the ove rland India mail for England, brought by the Great Liverpool from Alexandria, which vessel continued her voyage for England on the 27th idem, on which day the Alecto arrived from Gibraltar, bringing the intermediate London mail of the 13th. L'Aigle sailed on the same day for. Corfu, and on the 30th the Polyphemus left for Patras and the lonian Islands with the mails. The Locust steam-tender returned from Marseilles on the 30th. The Savage returned from her cruize in the channel of Malta. on the Ist inst., without having encountered the French fleet under Admiral Hugon, but which is known to have been at Ajaccio on the 20th nit.

The Commander-in-Chief (assisted by Sir P. Mason), continues to exercise, soon after daylight, the armed boats of the fleet, twice a week ; and on. Wednesday last the Queen was inspected at quarters at nine o'clock at night. The Medea is to relieve the Cyclops at Alexandria, and the Locust will probably be attached to the lonian command.
