THE Istcomu-Tax.—A Correspondent calls on us to .give some explanation to our readers of the Income tax law, and of the papers which the Income-tax gatherers are sending from hcuse to house. He wishes •us to undertake an impracticable task., So many doubts and difficulties belong both to the papers and the law, that the 'opinion and advice of a practised barrister is quite as likely to lead his clients astray as to guide them safely. We should probably do 'more harm . than good, therefore, by attempting to give an analysis or explanation of a law, which, being like all laws, a rgle of conduct, is confused, complicated, and almost iromprehensible—equally a disgrace to the persons who framed it, and to the people who feel themselves compelled to submit to it.

MOTtNING, AUGUST 13, 1842. Vt`e learn with great satisfaction that a number of factOrie3, dye-works, and other establishments, resumed . work in 'Manchester on Wednesday. The masters had previously come to a resolution, gene rally adopted and generally circulated, not to resume work till they were requested by their workpeople ; ilia resumption of work, therefore, is of more im portance for the inference it enables us to draw, that the. workmen wish to return to their labour, than for the fact itself. We hope from this circum atance that we shall now be able, day after day, -to eouerratulate the public on the gradual restoration of tranquillity, 'and the gradual return of all the people to their accustomed occupations. Quite enough, however, has been done by this temporary turn-out to make all Classes, master manu facturerg, shop-keepers, landowners, shipowners, rner &outs, the monied class, fundowners, tax-eaters, ttak?smen, and clergymen--aware of the formidable po o'er po.±,ic'..,sed by the multitude, which ayety little improved organization, a little longer time for prepa ration, and a slight change in circumstances, may enable them to use with greater success, than at pie sent. In spite of the ridiculous repugnance of some Tory writers to a manufacturing population condensed into factories, and aggregated about coal fields and steam-engines, that population cannot be got rid off It pays most of the taxes. The landlords know, too, that it. pays high rents. Even the prieSts, we believe, are.quite sensible of the improved value it gives to tithes. The ruling classes, therefore, putting reason jwitice, and humiity out of the question, will not allow that population and the wealth it creates to be annihilated. 'Beautiful and self-acting as i 3 much of our machi nery, it does not yet enable the capitalist and the landlord to dispense with human labour. ,In truth, thn more it has been improved and multiplied, the faster have the crowded hives of the North increased in population. As has been, so we may infer will be the progresS. For the sake of national prosperity and national happiness,• our • towns must oontinue to in crease and absorb from the rural districts the popula tion which can there find neither employment nor food. It is clear, therefore, that even Tories must make up their minds not only to the continuance but to the increase of the town population. On this ac count, the display which the multitude have ~now made of their power, ought to be for all classes an impressive, and if it be' not an impressive, it wi'l be a fearful lesson. It seems to us that the Turn-outs chose a wrong time for action, and have been as much foiled by cir eumbtances which they did not foresee, as by the vi gorous measures of the Government,- Wi?llmicial the view taken by the lifanchestcr Guardian, and .conclude that•the whole affair, if not fully planned, had been concocted and much talked over for some time. Its comtaencement is nearly coeval with the anniversary of Peterloo, which is remembered, in - Manchester and its wighbourhood, with the most enduring feelings of indit ;nation. Its immediate cause was an actual reduc ' tion of wages, of which notice had been given a month before, and which.the manufacturer, it is said, was, ' only prevented from withdrawing, at the last hour, by the cavalier-proceedings of the men. In the colliery districts, and in various otherplaces, propositions were ide to lower wages. These matters, coming to gather, in the sacred month of August, hurried the Turn-outs, we believe, into action at an unfavourable time. We are, in fact, mainly induced to believe that a turn-out had been long previously planned, by its being carried into execution without discretion, and without regard to existing circumstances., At this moment the early and the abundant har vest, and the settlement of those trade questions which Sir R. PEEL so foolishly agitated, unnecessarily increas ing the difficulties of the country throughout the spring and summer, are working together to revive trade. The markets for manufactured goods have be:tainto look up, the demand for labour has increased; p.nd just as the great mass of the artizans, who have endured almost , unheard-of privations, begin to hope for better days, begin even to taste the advantages of more work and cheaper provisions, the fore•.planned turn-out makes them sacrifice both hope and benefit. The willingness, nevertheless, with which they in general complied with the request of their fellows to turn-out, argues for the plan hav ing previously received their assent ; while they must have done it with a heavy heart, to think of the great sacrifice of beginning prospepity which they were called on to make. They could not act with 'that alacrity which they might have felt months be fore, when the demand for labour was lessening, and wages falling while the price of food was ex orbitant. Their new-born hopes as labourers tended to stifle their zeal as political agitators. Again, all the masters, who now see a chance of better days, must ha:Ve been very ill-disposed to the movement at this time, and exerted themselves much more, we be lieve, to check it now, when they begin to work full time with a profit, than they would have done when they were merely keeping their mills going in order to prevent the machinery from falling to ruin. But these circumstances, so unfavourable to the Turn-outs, may not exist on the next occasion, and our hearty and sincere advice to the Government and the public is to redress the wrongs and grievances of the manu facturers as speedily as possible, and take from them all just 'grounds for hating as well as for resisting he law. We have not, like some of our Contemporaries, sought a party handle to this great question. We blame Sir R. PEEL, we admit, for having caused the calamityby his Corn-keeping out Bill, and his Income .tax. To us he seems to have acted with as little dis 'oretion as the Turn-opts, who carried a pre-formedplan into execution, without attending to present circum stances. We may even say that his policy is almost as contemptible as the cry got up at Manchester, by some of the leaders, of " Go for gold,"; because such a cry was efficacious in 1832, when half the - opulent classes were ready to act on it, while we are afraid the .Turn-outs could scarcely.muster ten ten-pound notes amongst them. So Sir R. PEEL when the nation requires ,to be relieved from fiscal and commercial burdens, in deference to an old Tory theory, chose to restore the finances by plaguing the people with a hated Income-tax. With this excep tion we have not regarded this subject in relation to party politics. In our estimation it is more a social than a political insurrection. It is caused by the unmerited sufferings and degradation of the working classes. It is an attempt, though a wrong one, to better their condition. It is an upheaving of the industrious classes, steeped in poverty, against the upper and opulent classes. That seems to us its real character, and neither Whigs nor Tories are ex clusively to blame for that peculiar condition of the working classes which has forced on the out break, and will force on others if it be not redressed. Neither Whigs nor Tories have excited this social insurrection. We will not therefore, with some Liberal journals, stig matise the Tories for having provoked it ; still less will we, who are well aware of the conduct of the Anti-Corn-law League, admit for one moment that their pursuit of a righteous object makes them in the smallest degree blameable or responsible for the outbreak. We humbly counsel both parties to lay aside their disputes, and zealously bend their minds to devising a large and liberal plan of domestic policy, which shall remove the causes of the discontent of the industrious classes, and raise them in society. If this be not voluntarily done, their number is so great, their knowledge so extensive, their organisation so complete, that they can only be kept in obedience, if at all, by a military force, to the destrtction of the liberty and prosperity of our country. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR—TuuasDAT.—The Royal party returned from Virginia Water shortly before eleven o'clock last night. This morning the Queen and Prince Albert, and the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, took an early walk to the Home Park and Slopes. The Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal were taken out, as usual, accompanied by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton. In the afirrnoon her Majesty and the Prince rode out in a pony phaeton, his Royal Highness driving. The Duke of Saxe Coburg, the Duchess of Kent, and the Prince of Leiningen, were in the next car riage. The Duchess of Norfolk, the two Maids of Honour, and Captain Meynell, followed in • another carriage, and Colonel . Wylde attended on horseback. The party drove into the Great Park. His Excellency the Belgian Minister and Madame Van de Weyer, arrived on a visit to the Queen. Her Royal Highness the Duche3s of Kent, his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen, Lady Charlotte Dundas, and Sir George Couper, Batt, will join the Royal dinner circle at the Castle this evening. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, attended by the Countess of Sheffield, Lady in Waiting, and the Earl of Denbigh, Master of the Horse, took her departure yesterday from Gopsall Hall, Leicestershire, the seat of the Eail Howe, and came to town by a special train on the London and Birmingham Railway. Her _Ma jesty arrived at the terminus in Euston-square at four o'clock in the afternoon, and immediately entered one of her carriages, and left town, attended by her suite, for her residence, Bushy-house, Bushy-park. The Commissioners of Police had interviews with Sir James Graham yesterday at the Home-office. Sir James visited Sir Robert Peel at his residence in Whitehall Gardens. The Attorney-General andlthe Solicitor-General were in atteridance on the Home Secretary during a long period yesterday. Lord Fitzroy Somerset, the Militiry Secretary to the Commander-in-Chief, visited Sir J. Graham at the Home• office in the afternoon. Mr. Hall, Chief Magistrate of Bow-street, attended yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for the Home Department. _ - Mr. Stewart, Deputy Chairman of the Customs, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exche quer yesterday, at his official residence in Downing street. Le Commandeer Marques Lisboa, Brazilian Mi nister, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign office. BENEFICIAL EMPLOYMENT OF THE WORKING CLABSES. — Every one must be distressed at the melan choly accounts reeeived from the manufacturing end mining di'stricts ; and =my will be excited to oonsider what can be done to afford relief to secure tranquillity. Doubtless it will afford gratfticatinn to many to be in-• formed that several respectable gentlemen in the City of London are malting arrangements to offer the sum of 200 guineas and 100 guineas for the best essays on the " Means of Providing Remunerative Employment for the Increasing Population." Immense sums have been con tributed by voluntary subscription for objects of inferior consideration ; and it is to be hoped that the amount required will be promptly afforded to further so worthy an object.

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. TIME S.—The following Portuguese decree, which has lately been received in London, has not hitherto been made public, though it is of much importance to the holders of Portuguese securities. It is well known that certain of the hoidens have refused, to accede to the conversion of their stock under the decree ori ginally made for that purpose, on account of the sixth article. To explain that article is the object of the following decree, at which it is said some of the dis sentients have already e:sed their, satisfaction : TRANSLATED FMI THE ORIGINAL. "As there are wqll-grounded -reasons to believe that sundry holdevs et bonds of the loans contracted out of the country have abstaillod from 'consenting to the conversion proposed by the decree of the 2d of November,.lB4o, in the erroneous supposition that it was in the intention drily Government to cease making the payment of the respective dividends on the Exchange of London, by compelling the holders of such bonds to forward to this kingdom the relative coupons, in order to be paid at the Custom-houses according to the enactment of Article six of said decree ; and as it is expedient to remove any doubt which may have arisen on this point to the prejudice of the public credit, which it is most important to maintain, I: think proper to declare in the most solemn and . explicit manner, that the payment of the dividends of the stook created by virtue of the aforementioned decree of the 2d of November, 1840, will continue to . .be punctually made in London at the time when they respectively become due ; it being understood that the abovementioned sixth condition of the said decree, which alto vpd the admission of the coupons at the Custom-holies of Portugal,"merely amounts to a col lateral and additional guarantee for the payment of the interest of the stock in. question. " The Baron do Tojal, Member of my Council, Minister and Secretary, of State for matters of Finance, has so to understand it, and cause it to be executed, by giving to this decree the suitable publi cation. " Palace of Cintra, Aug. 5, 1842. " THE QUERN. . " BARON T-OJAL." SUN.—The accounts from the manufacturing dis tricts in our Second Edition of to-day, being viewed as more favourable towards a return to tran quillity, the prices of Consols advanced, towards the close of business, to 913 92 for Money and for the Ac count ; Bank Stock, 170 171 ; India Stock, 250 251 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51 prem. The Foreign Securities were—Belgian, 1014 1021; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 52 521 ; the Five per Cents., 101 , 1 1021 ; Danish, 821 831; • and Brazilian, 65 66. The quotation for Mexican was 344 354. The Share Market left off firmly, London and , Birmingham were, 178 180, ex-dividend ; Bir mingham and Gloucester, 48 49 ; Great Western, 881 891; the Half Shares, 63 631; North. Midland, 56 58 ; the New Shares, 27 28 ; South Eastern and Dover, 211 22; Eastern Counties, 91 9k ; Northern and Eastern, 391 40} ; Blackwall, 8.1 9} ; and Brigh ton, 33 1 33k per Share. The Bonds in which, according to the official lists, have been dealt in to-day, are—Portuguese Five per Cents., 331 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 21 ; and the Three per Cents., 201. It is being endeavoured again to raise a speculation in these documents, but hitherto bargains have been wholly confined to certain persons on the Stock Exchange, who have caused fluctuations, apparently for the sole purpose of inducing the public to join them. It need scarcely be again said, that ally amount may be bouffht and sold, without any inten tion to deliver them in the one case, or to pay for them in the other, but simply to receive or pay over the dif ference of price between that at which at the transac tion may have been entered into, and that which they may be at the " making up," which latter is made by the chief operators, just according as the state of their individual accounts may happen to be ; thus the pub lic is completely at their mercy. No circumstances have occurred, or from present appearances likely to oc cur, in the condition of the several countries whose bonds are principally speculated in, which either held out any expectation for arrangement With their foreign creditors, or any prospect of ,iMthediate or even re mote payment of their obligations. THE INTRUDER INTO WINDSOR CASTLE. The :individual who ,was discovered in Windsor Castle on. Monday night, under . circumstances of great suspicion, was brought to the Home-office yes terday for further examination. We stated his name in our teat report to be John Quinlan ; that was in correct—his real name, it appears, is Thomas Ques ted, aged 40, and a native of Maidstone. The prisonen was brought to the Home-office shortly before two o'clock, in a cab. He jumped out of the cab on its arrival' at 'Whitehall, and appeared in excellent spirits, holding up his bundle, which is composed of some old things tied up in a blue cotton pocket handkerchief, and exhibiting it in a manner as if he supposed that he had obtained a triumph; • Since the prisoner's committal to Tothill-fields pri son he has behaved remarkably well, qUite calm and collected, except when his title to the peerage is dis puted, and then most Amorously- asserts his supposed right. Mr. Hall, Chief Magistrate of Bow-street, arrived at the Home-office before two o'clock, and after a short delay the examination commenced. The fol lowing is the substance of what has taken place The prisoner was yesterday visited at Tothill-fields prison by Mr.' Lavies, surgeon, of Icing , street, and I.llr. Wakefield, surgeon to C'oldbath-fields prison, and closely examined as to his state of mind. He ap peared perfectly cool and collected on' every subject but one, viz. :—That he had a title to the peerage. The medical gentlemen inqUired what title it was that he thought he had a right to, when he replied, with an air of dignity, " I 'am Lord Godolphin , D'Arcv, and every one knowS On' tieing questioned yesterday at the Home-office, by Mr. Hall, the unfortunate individual persisted in stating that he was Lord Godolphin D'Arcy, that he was unjustly kept out of his rights. and that his visit to Windsor was merely to obtain those rights from the Queen ; and: went qn. to state that' all the way down" to Windsor the people saw as he passed that he was a lord, and knew well that he had a right to the title which he claimed; that . individuals publicly and secretly urged him to go and establish his claim. An uncle of the prisoner, who resides in the neigh bourhood 'of London, and holds a situation in the. dock-yard at Woolricli, . was "in attendance at the Home-office yesterday (hiring the inquiry. This gentleman, who is a respectable man, informed the Magistrate that the prisoner unfortunately was not the. only one of his family who was suffering under an aberration of intellect: He had' a sister who was insane; that the prisoner' was an agricultural labourer, but for a length of time had entertained the strange delusion that he was entitled to the peerage ; that he was, in' fact, Lord Godolphin D'Arcy. When the pri"soner -mks discovered in the Castle he was fast asleep, on a conch in the footmen's waiting room ; and when asked how he obtained admittance, he - said that he followed a "pot-boys," which sts,te meat he repeated yesterday. There" was no further evidence adduced yesterday as to the facts attending the prisoner being found in the Castle. The inquiry related solely as to his state .of mind. When he was asked if he did not' think that he was labouring under a delusion in thinking himielf a lord, he relined, " NO, certainly not ; I am a lord." He was then asked if the medical gentle men told him that he was labouring under a delusion on the subject, whether he would not believe them, *ind . give up his claim to the title he supposed himself heir to ? The prisoner replied that he would not give up his claim ; the gentlemen did not know so much on the subject as he did—he was Lord Godol phin D'Arcy. After a lengthened examinatioi no doubt remained but that he was insane, and the medicaLgentlemen signed a certificate to that eftct. He was then conveFed to Tothill- fields prison, and an order was made out for his committal to Bethlem Hospital, and as soon as it received the signature of the Home Secretary, the prisoner' was removed to that place of confinement, there to remain during her Ma jesty's pleasure. VISIT OF TI U MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL OF ARTS, EDINBURG'', TO GLASGOW.—On Tuesday, the members of the above Institution, with a number of their friends, and also the members of a similar institution in Falkirk, visited this city in the way of returning the .visit re cently paid to Edinburgk by the members of the Glasgow Mechanics' Institution. The total number who came to Glasgow. by a special train, at liklf the usual fares, wa s 671. They were attended by a' band of music, and on issuing from the terminus at Queen-street, were loudly cheered by a large body of our fellow-citizens, who waited to receive them. Throughout the day the strangers were admitted gratis to' all our public insti tutions, and groups of them might be seen in every quarter of the city prying into its curiosities, and sur veying its buildings. The Royal Exchange, the College with its Museum, the High Church, and other sights of interest; were very generally visited. In the course of the afternoon a large number dined together, in company with the leading members',of the Glasgow. Mechanics' Institution ; and in the evemngthey again proceeded by a special train to Edinburgh, which they reached at ten o'clock.—.Glit.sgow Argus. ALARMING INTELLIG BNCE . —WC regret to state that man 7 anonymous letters have lately been rrNived in the neighbourhocd of Kyre, Newnham, &c., in Hills county, threatening the destruction - of ricks and other diabolical acts, in consequence of which great alarm is beginning to prevail amongst the respectable inhabitants.

The reports from the disturbed districts continue to be of the most tranquillizing character. In Man cbester,•and the neighbouring towns and villages, the majority of the workmen evince evisry disposition to return to their wonted labours; and even in York shire, where but the other day so dangerous a spirit of insubordination 'wamanifested, matters are hourly assuming a more pacific complexion. We confidently trust, that, in a few days, we shall be able to con gratulate our readers on the restoration of order throughout the mining and manufacturing districts of the north. riot the f least cheering symptom in the case, that the cry for the " Charter, and nothing but the Charter," has been in many instances a decided failure. Great exertions have been made to inflame the minds of the Turn-outs on this point, and in some places the agitators have been successful ; but, gene rally speaking, they have received but little encou ragement to persevere in their Machinations ; the more intelligent among the operatives have seen through their devices, and avoided the snare laid for them ; and their discreet example has influenced hundreds—we may say, thousands—of their fellow workmen. "We understand," says a Morning Con temporary, " that the Turn-outs in Ashton, Stay leybridge, Oldham, and Rochdale, have come to the determination that they will no longer go for the Charter"—a significant fact, which will ac count for the tone of disappointment that is visible through the blustering address of the Executive Com mittee of the National Chartist Association, which has been just issued at Manchester. But though the " Charter" has, to a great extent failed as a rallying cry in the disturbed districts, it by no means follows, as a necessary consequence, that it should be regarded as a feeble and inefficient instrument of agitation. It has an immense body of active and energetic sup porters scattered throughout the provinces, whose in . fluence will be sure to increase in exact proportion to the want of uprightness and sagacity in the Legis lature. Chartism is the natural result o f the dis appointment occasioned by the Reform Bill, and the' incompetency of that measure, --from which such a world of good was anticipated —to put an end to the system of class legislation ; 'and it rests with Government to make the " Charter" a ,mere dead letter, or a living influential principle. Let them,do ju3tice to the People—do it boldly and promptly, without regard to class interests, and the " five points" will soon sink into forgetfulness.

Court of Cessation against the sentence of the Court of Assize of the Seine, which con demns him to a year's imprisonment and a fine of 12,000 f. —Le Constitutionnel, A letter from 'Toulon mentions a fact, which 'requires explanation : While the French Government seems. to •be exclu sively engaged in questions of internal policy, the British Government is actively prosecuting in the Medi terranean the accomplishment of the work to which the treaty of July was a great step. "We have seep successively the agents of England speak as masters at Constantinople and Alexandria, intrigues at Tripoli and in Barbary, where, notwith standing the death of Abd-el-Gelib, English influence is solidly established lastly, the. Consul of the same nation has obtained from the Bey concessions which sufficiently indicate that the influence of France has declined in that quarter. " But Great Britain is insatiable, and •-all this is not enough for her ; she is now entleavourincr., ..to have a port, in the East ceded to her by Morocco, fit to me:Ave her vessels. rrom this point, in case of a conflict with France, she w ould incessantly threaten our possessi6its in the North of Africa. This is a very serious matter, of which the Cabinet of the Tuileries ought not to be ignorant. It is evident that if England once gains a footing in Morocco, the affair is in a good way. She would begin by making herself mistress of the commerce of Algeria, so that on one side would be the sacrifice without any profit, and on the other clear gain. Besides this, .Abtl-el-Kader, in a given case, Would soon be enabled seriously to molest us, without our being able to complain of any nations fur threats of hos tility on the part of a Chief now powerless, for the main spring of the tvhole would be hid from our eyes. "It is certain that the English Consul-General has been for some time . engaged in negotiations with the Emperor, Abd Herraman, for the conclusion of a treaty of commerce, including the cession of a place on the coast, to receive ships. " We cannot too strongly urge the Government to watch the proceedings of the English agents in the Bar bary States, and, above all, not to suffer England to fix an establishment in the vicinity of our African posses siens."—Le Commerce. . .

The King of the French and Royal Family pro posed leaving Paris for the Chateau of Eu.on Sunday night next—a circumstance which was held to indicate that no expectation existed that the Regency Bill would encounter any delay, as his Majesty would re main in town to give his assent to it.. • . " It appears," says the Courrier Francais, -" that two principal difficulties will he started in the debate on the Regency. A Member of the Left. will, it is said, limit the action of the law to - the ensuing reign; and it is passible that - M. Lamartine, who thinks that the Queen •Mother has the best right to the guardian ship, may support this opinion frlm the tribune." The Paris Globe, a Ministerial Paper, contains the following observations relative - to the - approaching settlement of differences between Great Britain and the United- States :—" Those persons who are friendly to peace throughout the world, will learn with interest that Lord Ashburton has succeeded in terminating amicably with the Government of the *United States the dispute respecting the boundaries of the States • bordering. the English possessions in NOrth America. A conflagration, even of the smallest importance, could' not..take place without a general concussion following. it This would, above all, be the consequence of a quarrel between two nations like England. and the United States, whose •ships cover the seas. No people, therefore, in the whole civilised 'world, can remain indifferent to the satisfaction expressed by the'English Journals in an nouncing this happy event." • The accountsfrom Madrid are of the 10th inst., but they are totally destitute of interest. The jour;• nals, and the, Putriota .in , partkular;• continue to de nounce the existence of conspiracies, which, however, appear to give little .or, no, uneasiness to the Govern- - ment. The - Gerthan journals continue to be filled with accounts of conflagrations. On the 11th inst., the small town of Tambach, near Gotha, was almost en tirely consumed ; 50 only of the 500 houses of the place were left standing. The village of. Bechtof, in Wurtemberg, had been likewise visited by a destruc tive fire , in which five children had lost their lives. The Frankfort Journal. announces the death of M. Isaac Harlwig d'Essen, one of the heads of the German Israelite Congregation ' at Hamburgh, Having no children, he bequeathed his fortune, amounting to 800,000 mares banco (80,0001.), to charitable institu. tions in Hamburgh, Altona, and Copenhagen. PUBLIC OPINION. The Chronicle inakesthe following remarks in an article on the present distressed state of the country : "The causes of the present distress are various. We all know that the Bank of England has much to answer for in creating the over-trading with the United States, which was followed by a great falling off in the demand from that country. The Corn •law has added enormously to the evil. With a succession of bad harvests the most unrestricted trade in corn would still have left much suffering in the country ; but the Corn-law has inflamed the suffering till it has attained a magnitude which has plunged the people in absolute despair. When Government has ceased to care only for one class, the landowners, and has Conceded to industry the freest exercise of its rights, it will' be time to consider whether or not it may still be necessary to atone for former injustice to the labouring classes by schemes of emigration. But •however this may be, the idea of the. Times of ex cluding fluctuation from industry is the very height of quackery. With respect, however, to fluctuation, there is far less in the factories, than in those trades in which the machinery has remained without im provement for centuries. The hosiery districts were in the most distressed state long before Lancashire and Lanarkshire suffered. The owner of expensive machinery cannot allow it to remain idle, and he never, therefore, turns off any of his hands ; but in an instant thousands of workmen in the midland districts are thrown idle." _ . In an article on the state of society in the manu facturing districts, the Post observes as follows We return to the discussion which we commenced on Wednesday, concerning the state of society in the manufacturing districts, and the necessity for a far more careful system of goYernment in those districts, in order to promote the comfort of the people, and to give greater security to the public peace. We are encouraged to proceed by the circumstance that we find we have already the co-operation of an influen• tial part of the public Press. On Wednesday we stated, with reference to the British manufacturing districts, that nowhere else, in this or hi any other country, were to be found such enormous masses of people heaped together, and wholly dependent upon a great manufacturing system for their support —a system which is liable to continual fluctuations, over which the masses who depend upon it for life have no control. And we called attention to the too palpable and most unfortunate fact, that this system makes it the interest of a compara tively small number of rich manufacturers, at one time, to gather as many workpeople about them as they possibly can, and at another time to decline giving these people any employment or any support. This is the great evil—an evil described by the Times journal, which yesterday took up the discussion of the subject, in these emphatic words—' The whole manufacturing population are systematically de pendent for their bread upon a source of employment which is continually fluctuating.' Considering what the mass of the manufacturing population is, it is, in vain to hope for permanent peace and security while its condition is liable to such violent changes as must result from its subjection to the fluctuations of trade. Nothing but very considerable capital can bear the fluctuations to which manufacturing trade has, of late years, been subject. The working-people have not this capital, and:our Contemporary comes to the ccfn-r elusion that the fluctuations of trade ought to be taken into the calculations of the master manufacturer in his speculations, and that by him these fluctuations ought to be borne, and not by the working-people." The Herald says : " The latest intelligence from Manchester is satisfactory only because it describes no new acts of outrage ; but it is painfully obvious. that the confidence of the peaceable and well-disposed in the speedy restoration of good order, and in the early return of the insurgents to labour, is very small, and this is certainly most unsatisfactory. It will be observed, with the highest approval, that several Chartist leaders have been apprehended, and that warrants have been issued for the arrest of others who are hiding—amongst others for Mr. Thomas D un combe's worthy ally,. Dr. M`Douall. This denotes that some clue or evidence has been obtained incul patory of these scoundrels, and that Government is determined that the originators, or instigators, of the outbreaks shall be punished, as well as the actors and perpetrators. The only regret that can be enter tained is, that these steps were not taken some days ago, and that they do not now extend to the more notorious of these leaders. In an emergency like the present, it is better that the authorities should err on the side of active repression, rather than be restricted within the limits of legal technicalities. Every hour ' that is unnecessarily lost in taking the most active means to suppress these disturbances, is a direct en couragement to their extension beyond the circle to which they are as yet confined, and which, it cannot be concealed, has a tendency to swell. The peace must be preserved, no matter at what price, and if that price be blood, its shedding will be upon the heads of the ruffians who mislead the wretched and ignorant rioters." We quote the following from the Times :—" Sick ening and painful as it is to read such accounts as those which we have recently had to give from Pres ton, from Blackburn, from I3urslem, and from Hali fax, it is impossible not to recognise in them the remedies of a critical disease, and in their effects we see the importance of grappling with the mischief in time. By the punishment of a few 'wicked or in fatuated men, taken in the act of rebellion, thousands are rescued from an anarchy which (if once permitted to make head against the law) could not end without the wholesale destruction of property and life. An example is given in one or two towns, and falls upon a comparatively small number of individuals, which at once puts an end to the mad idea of disorderly crowds, that they are stronger than the law, or can overturn the Government of the country by their fiat. If such an example were delayed, if the luxury of a blind and unreasoning benevolence were indulged in, the authorities would be abetting the delusion of the multitude, and drawing them on from crime to crime, and outrage to outrage, till at last a far heavier and more destructive chastisement would be the only way of preserving the f peace o the nation. These reflections reconcile us, great as is the shock which the feelings of humanity must receive from every instance of severity inflicted upon these victims of delusion, --these reflections reconcile us, as they doubtless reconciled those wha had so painful a duty'. to perform, to the stern necessity of the case. Doubt less it is a dreadful thing for females, and lads of 17, 18, or 20, to be summoned suddenly and by a violent death into the presence of their Maker, for acts of unreflecting turbulence committed at the instigation of others much more culpable than themselves. But it would be a far more dreadful thing if the lives and properties of the peaceable men, and the honour of the peaceable 'women and all the mighty interests in volved in th e f a b r i c o f society in England, were left exposed to the assaults of Chartist and Socialist mobs, flushed by the appearance of success, and exasperated by the want of resources. The burning of houses and destruction of property which took place in the Potte ries on Monday, is but a faint example of what must be the inevitable consequence of a weak forbearance op these unhappy occasions," PUBLIC XIVZPROVEIV WITS. A new foot-path for the public ..as been formed through the centre of the ground occupied by the late Ranger, in the Regent's Park, extending to the garden of the Earl of Coventry, where it branches off to the old road. MAVI AND POLICE. • Margaret Easter, an Irish beggar or tramper, was found guilty at the Devizes assizes on Wednesday of the wilful murder of her two children, Mary Ann Easter and Charles Easter, both about two years of age, and twins, and sentence of death was pronounced upon her. The verdict of the jury is remarked to have occasioned great surprise from the nature of the evidence. The examination of the Manchester - rioters has been proceeded with in that town ; the majority of them , have been remanded, with sureties to keep the peace ; many discharged ; and one or two sentenced to hard labour for a few days. On Wednesday last, at the York Assizes, Benja min Dale and John Haigh were indicted for a bur glary in the house of Josephßroadbent, at Thorpes, in the West Riding, and stealing therein a pair of trow sers and other articles. Joseph Dale, the father, an old and feeble man, was indicted for receiving the stolen property, knowing it to be such. Haigh was acquitted, but the younger prisoner Dale was sentenced to be transported for fifteen years, and the elder to be imprisoned eight months. • PINE ARTS; A magnificent piece of plate is about to be sent to Berlin, as a present from the Queen to the King of Prussia.

The Earl of Mansfield has arrived at Scone Palace, Perthshire, from Edinburgh. The Earl and Countess of Carlisle left town yester day for Castle Howard, Yorkshire. Lord Melbourne arrived last week at Coblentz. MISCELLANEOUS. In some parts of Sweden religious excitement is at the present moment at a great height. There are numbers of preachers in the open air, and on the 10th instant, at Erksrote, not less than 3,000 persons as sembled to hear one of those out-door sermons. Dur ing the most passionate part of the preacher's exhor tation, several of the men threw away their coats and the women their rings and ear-rings, which. they trampled under foot, saying they were only the orna ments of the devil. Amongst 'the fanatics 'are two young girls, who have prophesied that the world will be at end in a month. SUICIDE BY LEAPING FROM THE MON UMEN T.—(THIS DAY.) At half-past ten o'clock this morning, a third suicide of a most extraordinary kind—that of leaping from the Monument—Was committed by a respectably dressed young female. At the time above stated, she paid sixpence, the usual fee for permission to ascend to the top of the Monument, and immediately went up the winding staircase to the iron railing which surrounds the top on the outside. It is stated by per sons who witnessed the occurrence, that she bound her eyes with a handkerchief, and then climbing over that point of the railings - Which faces King William street, took a spring, and leaped, head foremost, to the ground. In her descent she turned round, and as she struck the earth in a position by which her knees were near her chest, nearly every bone was broken: She took such a leap that she fell upwards of twelve feet from the base of the Monument, and cleared a cart that was standing by the side of the pavement. Immediately the shocking affair was seen, crowds of persons, attracted' as well by the noise of the fall as the circumstance of a woman leaping from the monument ; they found her quite dead, and dreadfully lacerated. Several of the City police soon made their way through the crowd, and conveyed the body to St. Margaret's Church, Upper Thames street, near London-bridge. At the time that this account was written there was no clue whatever to the residence of the unhappy girl, or to that of her friends and relations, and her name was unknown. She was rather good-looking, with a full face, rather stout, and was about 22 years of age. Her dress consisted of a flowered gown, white leghorn bonnet, black shawl, and white stockings. The greatest ex citement prevailed in the streets in the vicinity of the Monument, and Fish-street - hill and part of Thames street was rendered almost impassable, the crowd wa's so great. Information has been sent to Mr. Payne, the City Coroner. • • SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) -TUNBRIDGE WELLS RACES.—WEDNESDAY.

BERLIN, AUGUST 10.—Very little has . been doing in our corn market for some days past, and, notwith standing the unfavourable accounts of the harvest, pnr ticularly from the fertile corn countries of Upper Silesia, the prices have everywhere fallen. The accounts from the wine-growing provinces of the kingdom, on the con trary, are very favourable, and it is hoped that the pro duce will this year be remarkable for quality, equal to that of UM. qua niity , and MONE Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The anxiety to obtain information relative to the' proceedings in the North,- has not in the least sub sided, but, in fact, rather increased,from the attempted demonstration in the metropolis lasts vening. • The city, until an early hour this morning. preaented an. unusual sight of being patrolled by merchants and several of the civic authorities, with the 'Lord Mayor at their head, for the purpose of rendering assistance should an attack have been made on the Dunk, which from the demeanour of the mob in paasitig that build ing, was thought not to be improbable ; at. about three o!clock all apprehension was, however, : a an end. Business being completely at a stanea, the mercan tile letters are but few in number ; these, however, give more favourable accounts generally, and it may be gathered that the outbreak is virtually at an end. Much apprehension is exhibited as to what may he the ultimate consequence on trade, and fears are ex pressed that it will be some time .yet before it will be restored to its former state. As might be anticipated, but little has been done, in the funds ; holders, however, are firm, and the price of Consols has advanced beyond that of yesterday, being now 921, rather buyers, for Money and for the Account.

It is stated that the agents have proceeded to the Continent for the purpose of trying what may be effected among the capitalists there, but have taken the precaution to leave powerful advocates behind them. To render any arguments of those gentlemen unavailing, it is necessary only .to refer to the States of Indiana, Illinois, Mississippi, Pennaylvania, and a few others, not omitting the United States Bank, and some similar private insti tutions, by each of which . the English have been robbed to an enormous extent, and derided when seeking an arrangement by which their claims might be liquidated.

On the part, of the defendant his daughter and the nurse, who attended his children, were called, who gave testimony to the effect, that the plaintiff was very seldom at the house of the defendant; that when he was there it was only to dine with them, and the daughter positively swore that she had never seen her. father intoxicated.

His hearing had been adjourned from this day week, in order to adduce evidence with respect to his interest in a certain patent for preventing ships fro , n founder ing at sea, called the Pneumatic Marine Preserver. Mr. Thomas Knightley showed that the insolvent had no available share in the patent, and with regard to other inventions the insolvent had realised no profit on them. Upon the application of Mr. Cooke, Mr. Kingston was appointed assignee, when the insolvent was dis charged forthwith. IN RE JAMES. This case had been adjourned from a former , day , for the purpose of allowing certain property to be given up to the creditors. Mr. Cooke now announced that the parties had come to a settlement, and the insolvent was ordered to be discharged. IN RE ROBERT COLLINS. The insolvent's petition to be discharged was op posed by Mr. Cooke, on behalf of several,creditors. It appeared that he had been in possession of a quantity of valuable property for several years, _ and in consequence his creditors were induced to let him run into debt to a large amount ; but when proceed ings were taken against him and execution issued, he turned round and said that all the property was his father's. The COMMISSIONER, commenting upon his dis honesty, ordered him to be remanded, at the suit of one or more of his creditors, for eight calendar months, from the date of his vesting order.
