It was owing to the repeated failures of the best medical practitioners in Britain, in the treatment of several diseases, that led to the discovery of the medicine sold by me as the ' London Restorative. Owing to the great expence incurred by experiments &c., during upwards of twenty years, Dr. Bucha nan consulted a physician of the first talent in London, on the subject, who advised him—" To dispose of the Medicine in this form, until his expenses were reimbursed, and then to throw it open to the profesion." From the acknowledged talent and genius of Dr. Buchanan, who, by his publications and practice, placed acoustic surgery in the high station it now holds in Britain, the public may s afely rely on the- properties of any recipe of that very able practitioner.--I remain, Sir, yours most respectfully, Wlq.

It gives a fine and glossy finish, does not stick to the iron, and requires no boiling. The annexed certi ficate of that eminent chemist, Dr. Fyfe, will prove that it is free of potatoe, and contains no deleterious ingredient. ‘. I hereby certify that I have submitted to chemical investi gation the starch manufactured by Messrs. Brown and Poison, of Pais'ey, and that I have found it to be a pure article, conse quently free front any ingredient that would act injuriously even on the finest fabric. From trials conducted with it under my own superintendence, I have found that in starching it toes farther than the best kinds of patent starch, that it gives an equally fine finish, and that articles starched with it are not iable to lose their stiffness. Having witnessed the proce.s of manufacturing the starch in all its stages, I am satisfied that potatoe flour is not used in its manufacture. AW. FY FE, M. D. , F. R. S.

The Gazette of this evening will announce the average prices of British, Brown, or Muscovalo Sugars, exclusive of duty, la follows : West India East India . Mauritius Total average price.... . ...... 365. 611 „ The actual quantities of Sugar sold in the week ending the 16th inst., according to the returns made upon oath by the sugar brokers, in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and on which quantities the above prices are computed, co nsisted of 2 1 , 559 cwt. of West India, 3,045 cwt. of East India, and 7,238 cwt. of Mauritius. On Tuesday about 200 hhds. of Muscovado Sugar from Cuba, of a quality (both as regards strength and whiteness) superior to West India Sugar, were sold in Mincing-lane, at public auction, for from 16s. to 17s. per cwt., being 20s. per cwt. cheaper than British Plantation Sugar, proving, beyond all cavil, that the consumers of this country are paying the monopolists, as we stated last week, four millions ster ling per annum in excess of price beyond the conti nental market value of their sugars. We understand that the importers of sugar from Cuba have realised a very handsome profit by the above sale, and that other cargoes of it may be ex pected to follow—the price in Cuba being only one dollar and a-half, or 6s. 6d. per cwt. [ADVERTISEMENT.] SODA wAvER. ROUGHSEDGE and SUMMERS have hitherto relied on the discernment of the public to discover and appreciate the superior quality of the Arated Water produced by their manufactory, and they have scorned to have re course to any tricks. In the present day some persons consider it requisite to make use of puffs and quackery in order to extend the sale of their own productions by detracting from the merits of rival establishments. R. and S. have such strong grounds of reliance on the supe riority of their own soda-water and lemonade, found.el on the recommendation of. the most eminent of thz‘ faculty, on the results of the most searching chemical analyses, and the extensive and still increasing demand for them by the public, both at home and abroad, that they have hitherto treated the insinuations of quackery alluded to with the contempt they deserve. But if these indirect insinuations are still to be obtruded on the public, R. and S. feel themselves justified in offering those explanations that may enable the public to judge for themselves. If R. and S. have placed,the name of Schweppe upon their bottles, it was never to mislead the public as to connexion with that firm, but for, the purpose of a legitima'e fact, and always subordinate to their own. Without im puting undue credit to the name of Schweppe, they have simply stated that they came from the house of Schweppe and Co., —an undoubted fact, or doubtless it would have been denied. For five and twenty years, during the very period that the waters. sold by Schweppe gave to that name all the celebrity it ever obtained, Mr. Summers was the engineer and manufacturer of the waters sold by that house in London, Derby, and Bristol. It is many years since any person, having the slightest connexion with the name or family of the late Mr. Schweppe, has been connected with any house in the trade. In the year 1834, the proprietor of the busi ness carried on under the name of Schweppe and Co. sold his interest to persons with whom R. and S. declined to remain : they preferred employing their iu dustry and practical knowledge in establishing a business for their own mutual profit. Whether the waters sirwe manufactured by the present firm of Schweppe and Co. retain the quality which acquired for that house all its 1 celebrity, R. and S. decline to give an opinion ;_ but, in justice to thems elves, the y do, wi th the most perfect con fidence and good faith, say that—highly as some ma nufacturers seem to estimate the bottles which bear their name (expensive an item as bottles are), and diffi cult as it is to prevent retail tradesmen from returnint wrong ones—there is no bottle bearing any other than their own, however celebrated, to which Roughsedge and Summers would wish to add the reputation to be derived from filling them with waters of their own manufactory. ROUGHSEDGE and SUMMERS only desire such patronage as may be deserved from the JErated Waters produced at their own manufactory, and sold under the labels of their own name. -37, Bridge-street, B r istol. THE CANADIAN PROPHECY. -Our readers will, no doubt, remember the prophecy mentioned in our pages some weeks ago. The highland seer, resident in Canada, predicted that war was to descend upon us, and the peaceful banks of Lochness were to be deluged with blood ! The belief is still as strong as ever. We have tried to throw cold water on the imposition, b 7 ridi culing it ; but, though men are sometimes to be laughed, rather than reasoned, out of a belief, this delusion has a hold that seems strong enough to defy the power of either means to eradicate it. The accounts that reach us of the state of doubt and anxiety into which the minds of ti.,,usands have been thrown, are almost incredible. Many arc anxious to emigrate before the blow comes upon the country—many are hanging on in continual fear; while others, putting a bold face upon on the mat ter, are furbishing their "fathers' swords" for the strife. Old blades, that have hung in peace upon the wall since they shone among th e c l ans a t Culloden, are rti gleved from, their honoured resting-place, to await the 1 of the drab-coated I t iverness Courier. Wurper upon our shores,-- This district continues in the same unhappy I state it has now been in for the last two creeks. Though fewer outrages in the way of robbing potatoe-fields here have taken place during the last two days, I do not by any means consider the. worst over. was informed this forenoon that delegates have been again despatched to some of the districts that have but partially joined the strike, particularly Ayrshire, and where there are a great many collieries. The colliers in Kilwinning, in that county, resolved to strike yesterday, and to-day a great meeting of delegates would be held in the above town, to receive reports from the other colliers in I.le district, all of whom, it is understood, will join in the strike. Should this prove cor rect the whole of the coal districts in Scotland, with one exception or two, may be considered in a state of turmoil. I have been told that the moulders, wrights, and other mechanics con nected with the coal and iron trade in Airdrie, Coatbridge, &c., wanted to join with the colliers. The latter were quite agreeable, but finding they could not be firm and decided among themselves, they, as a trade, cast them off, and told them to be united among themselves, and then come to them. The colliers in their union are said, on this occasion to be more closely united than at any former period. Had not this been the case, I believe that a compromise would have been accepted on the part of some of the men whose employers' pits are near the Clyde, and in connexion with the iron works. If no agreement is come to within a week from this, the depredations of the colliers will not, I am afraid, be confined to stealing potatoes. Every one knows that, as a body of workmen, they are most improvident, and as they will in a. day or two be three weeks without receiving pay, their resources will be completely dried up, and, then it will either be submission or more out rage--which of thu two I believe no one in this neighbourhood can say. A great deal Will de pend upon how matters proceed in England. The carters in the city, owing to the extra demand for shippers and others apprehending a scarcity of coal, had a " turn out'' the other (lay for an advance, which after a little demur they obtain ed, and now get l s. 4d. a waggon instead of Is.ld. That is, they are all back to their prices of 1840. The price of coals has, in consequence of this and the strike, advanced ls. - a waggon, and if the strike continues, no doubt this sum will shortly be doubled. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Lord Hill has retired from the command of the army, and has been succeeded in that high post by the Duke of Wellington. Though a Morning Contemporary, whose opinions often coincide with our own, seems to have taken alarm at the fact, we can ourselves see no reason for the apprehension that is expressed in the journal alluded to. That "the Duke's resump tion of the army will be construed as the pro clamation of a Government of coercion," is an opinion in which we do not agree. Though the Duke of Wellington is Commander-in-Chief, he is subject to the direction of the Ministers in the use to be made of the military force, which can not be employed at the will of the individual . who is at the head of it. If it were to be appre hended that the Duke of Wellington's dispo sition would induce him to make a coercive use' of political power, his appointment to the office of Commander-in-Chief would be rather a subject of congratulation than alarm ; for it will henceforth be his duty to act only under the direction of the Government, ty r e mem bers of which will be responsible for the orders they issue to the authorities at the War-office. The Duke of Wellington will henceforth stand in a more intelligible, and, indeed, a more eon stitutional position than he' has done since the accession of the Tory party to power. He has hitherto exercised the leadership of the House of Lords, while he has continually repudi ated the responsibility attaching to a member of the Government. During the time that Lord Hill held the post of Com .mander-in-Chief, he abstained from taking any part in the proceedings of the. Upper House. It is to be supposed that his successor will see the pro priety of adopting a similar course. In this event the Duke of Wellington's appointment will pre vent the gratification of those coercive predilec tions which our Contemporary seems to fear his Grace will have an opportunity of indulging in. That the qualities of energy and promptitude are essential in the man who is appointed to the head of the army, no one will attempt to deny. These qualities still belong in a high degree to the Duke of 'Wellington. The assertion that the present disturbances are to he met by " the tactics of' the police office rather than those of the camp," and that "Mayors and Sheriffs, superintendents and subalterns, have generalship enough for the oc casion," must not be considered as an argument against placing an experienced military commander at the head of the army. If the present disturbances are improperly made the subject of military interference, the Goverment will be responsible, whoever may happen to be the Commander-in-Chief; for that functionary has only to act in obedience to the Ministers, and for any fault committed by him they will be held accountable. We are ready to admit that the Duke of Wellington may continue to claim that exemption from per sonal responsibility which he has lately been so eager to assert; but his actions will henceforth have to be accounted for— if not by himself—by the Goveinment that has appointed him. STANDARD.—As respects the insinuated motive in this morning's Chronicle for the Duke of Wellington's appointment, we have this to say, that that appointment Was resolved upon inure than a week before the slightestdisorder had oc curred in the manufacturing districts. The ap pointment was announced in the Standard on Friday, at two o'clock. 1.. m t (we published early on Friday, became of the Queen's speech), and Friday was the day upon which the first intelligence of serious disorders reached town. To ascribe the replacing of the illustrious Duke in that station which he never ought to have quitted, to any thing that has happened within the last week, is as absurd as to ascribe it to what may happen fifty years hence. Lord Hill's de clining health has been long and deeply lamented, and all well-informed persons are aware. that the Duke of Wellington only waited for the termination of the session to assume an office which, according to usage, he could not occupy concurrently with the place be filled as minis terial leader of the House of Lords. But what if the illustrious Duke had been appointed to an office of more power than that of Commander-in- Chief, in contemplation of popular discontent ! Is not his Grace the man who sacrificed the cherished principles of his life, and forfeited the support of the friends whom he most loved and must have most respected—avowedly in order to obviate a civil war? Has not his civil course been as uni formly marked by concession as his glorious mi litary career by victory ? Surely such a man is the last whose appointment to an active station ought to create a suspicion of violent design. To excite such a suspicion is, however, the ill disguised purpose of the article we have quoted. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 8 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 35k, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being '25 47k, it follows that gold is 0.48 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 432 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 Bf, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 10, it follows that gold is 0.68 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 106} per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 3.32 per cent. against England ; but the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. JUDGE FOSTER.--A short time before this great lawyer's death, he went the Oxford Circuit in ono of the hottest summers that had been remembered. His charge to the Grand Jury was as follows :—" Gentlemen,—the weather is extremely hot, I am very old, and you are very well acquage4 with your duty practise it." This was an action brought by Curlewis, the fashionable tailor of Hanover-street, Hanover-square, against Capt. Bulkley, for the sum of 71. 19s. Gd., being the balance of a bill for 371. 19s. Gd. delivered by the plaintiff to the defendant, for sundry expensive and fashionably made Taglionis, and other articles of dress. Capt. Bulkley who had paid 301. on account, resisted the payment of the balance on the ground that the charge for the different articles were enormous, particularly the charge of 121. 12s. for a Taglioni, superbly made, braided, lined with silk, and crowned with a splendid Genoa velvet collar. • Mr. JAMES, who conducted the case on the behalf of the plaintiff, called persons in the employ of several eminent West-end tailors, and among them a penfou in the service of the celebrated Stulz, all of whom stated that in their opinion the charges made were reasonable for the West-end. Mr. Lucas, a solicitor, who conducted the case of the Gallant Captain, called Mr. Thompson of Prince's street, Hanover-square, who stated that he considered all the charges reasonable enough, with the exception of the Taglioni, which he said he could make for nine guineas and a half, and get a living. A Juror.—Could you get such a profit upon that is would enable you to pay the Income-tax. Mr. Thompson.—l think I should be obliged to charge a little higher in consequence of that. The Under-Sheriff summed up, and the Jury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff, :for the full amount claimed. INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, Aug. Is. Although the Court was occupied for a consider able time a few days back in hearing applications for bail, most of which were disposed of by allowing the insolvents to be at large until their hearing, yet this day no less than 53 applications (of 'Which 32 were town cases) came before the Court. IN RE THOMAS BURGESS. The insolvent, who was described as a solicitor in Lambeth-road, applied to be liberated on bail. Mr. Thompson, of Chancery-lane, the officer fur the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, appearing him self as one of the bail, a point was raised, which was finally over-ruled. • Bail being allowed to justify, the insolvent was liberated until the day appointed for his hearing. RE THOMAS V. ASKELL. The insolvent had carried on an extensive business at Limehouse, as a bleacher and printer, from the year 1836 up to the date of. his arrest, and previous to that at Manchester. The amount of debts appearing in his schedule exceeded 2,0001., about 4001. of which were due under a fiat of bankruptcy previous to his leaving Manchester. His insolvency he attributed to losses in trade speculation, also to the circum stance of a fire having broken.. out on his premises about twelvemonths ago, when a quantity of calico and trade utensils were destroyed, he being un insured at the time. He applied now, through Coun sel, to be liberated en bail until the ay appointed for his hearing. After the Court examined the sureties, with re spect to their solvency, the application was granted. RE ROBERT REUBEN LYON. Mr. WOODRUFFE applied to have the insolvent li berated upon bail until the day of hearing. The insolvent's liabilities and assets were at pre sent several thousand pounds, and the application to bail was without consideration for 2,4001., the amount of purchase money of a business which the insolvent bought from the executors of Graham. In reply to the Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER, the insolvent stated that the assets under the bank ruptcy, over and above the expenses incident to the proceedings, amounted to about 3,0001. The COURT ordered the insolvent to be liberated. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION HOUSE. In The Sun of Tuesday week we gave an accour of a man named Frederick Shakle.tford being brougl up before Sir Peter Laurie, charged with defrauding several respectable tradesmen in the City of an exten sive stock of goods, by representing himself to be a Mr. Beaumont, a draper, living at Maidstone, in Kent. To-day he underwent a further examination before the Lord Mayor and Mr. Alderman Gibbs. Several persons were examined, and preferred some fresh charges. The LORD MAYOR asked Mr. Goddard, the soli citor, whether he intended to complete his case to-day? He said certainly not, but should ask of his Lordship for a further remand, to enable him to collect other evidence.—He was then remanded till Thursday next. The justice-room was crowded during the examina tion by parties who have been the victims of the prisoner and others. GUILDHALL. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Elizabeth M‘Gregor was brought up before Mr. Alderman Humphery, charged by Mrs. Luke, of Thavies Inn, Holborn, with having robbed her of various articles of jewellery, and also of money. Mrs. Luke stated that the prisoner had been a servant in her employ about a month.' The day be fore yesterday the prisoner left the house without saying a word, and the witness afterwards discovered that she had taken a quantity of articles with her belong ing to the prosecutrix. Information was immediately given to the police, and the prisoner was found in the neighbourhood of Oxford-street. When she was taken into custody, several of the articles missed by Mrs. Luke were found upon her. The prisoner was remanded until next week, in order to obtain further evidence. BOW-STREE7. JUVENILE DEPRAVITY.—A wicked-looking little urchin, named Robert Barnes, only ten years old, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a silver guard-chain and gilt brooch, the property of Eliza Daw, his mother. Mr. TWYFORD remanded the prisoner for a week, for the attendance of his father, and further informa tion as to what had become of the stolen property. •- THE INFLAMMATORY PLACARDS.---Janes Crafer, a" boardman." was charged with carrying an infla matory placard, for the purpose of exhibiting it, with intent to commit a breach of the peace, &c., in Cam den-passage, St. Mary, Islington. Police constable Thomas Walker, N 88, proved the charge. The prisoner told the same tale as to his employers, &c., as the men examined yesterday (vide our yester day's report), expressed his sorrow, and his determi nation not to offend again. Mr. TwYFoRD said if these things were not checked early, they were likely soon to put an end to good government. The worthy Magistrate then bound the prisoner in his own recognizances in the sum of 20/. to keep the peace for two months. Inspector Harris, of the R division, obtained seven summonses against tradesmen in that district for ex hibiting the aforesaid placards, and Inspector Thatcher, of the U division, obtained two against most respect able tradesmen in the Lower-road, Islington, for the same offence. We had hoped that the timely notice we gave yes terday of the course which the Magistrates were adopting would have rendered such vexatious pro ceedings unnecessary. FLUSHING, AUG. 13. 7 —According to private letters, his Majesty's frigate the Ryn, commanded by Prince Henry, has left St. Petersburgh to return to this port. — The Minister of Finance has given notice that the amount of Treasury Bonds, issued up to the Ist of this month, was 4,717,100 florins.—We hear that the second book of the Penal Code is in the press, and will shortly be distributed among the Members of the States General. INCENDIARY FIRE.—On Tuesday week, shortly before midnight, a fire was discovered on some farm buildings at Bersted, the property of Mr. Thos. Wisdom. The whole was burnt down, and we are sorry to add that three calves which had the preceding evening been locked up in a hovel, fell victims to the flames. There is no doubt that the fire was the work of an incendiary, and a reward has accordingly been offered for the detection of the criminal.—Brighten Guardian. It is rumoured that Major-General Brotherton, late Commandant at the Cavalry Depot, Maidstone, has been appointed to the Staff of the Northern District, with directions to proceed forthwith to Yorkshire. This is an additional appointment, and not meant to supersede Ma jor-General Sir William Wurre, who was recently men tioned as General Wade in several of the reports from the disturbed districts. Died at Great Hermitage, near Rochester, on ' Tuesday, the 16th inst., aged 73, Miss Bentley, sister of Thomas Bentley, Esq., one of the Magistrates of Roches ter, and of the county of Kent. Miss Bentley had the charge of the house of Mr. Perry, of the Morning Chronicle, for several years before his death, and was one of his executors; and be entrusted to her the care of his three unmarried daughters, during their minority. Miss Bent ley was a remarkable woman. Her understanding was excellent, and her . conversation to the last was piquant and original in the highest degree. She was a zealous and a ffectionate frien a outo9rous circle of y f friends,. d, and her memor will long be bold iu rej4c omee by In this town lip to this hour (two o'cfock), all re mains perfectly quiet, . and has been all the day, with the exception of the attempt of a number of people to stop two establiainents near Pendleton, in both of which the rioters were most signally. de• feated. The authorities continue their watchful su pervision of the borough and its neighbou..thood : the police, special constables, and patrols, are on duty, and every precaution is taken to guard against any surprise. This morning a number of mills, factories, dye works, and other establishments, resumed work m this town and neig:zbourhood. The excavators and labourers employed on the works of the Extension Line- of the Manchester and Leeds Rail way, who were compelled to turn-out Pn Friday, also resumed work this morning. The Delegates resumed their sitting this morning. After their dispersion last evening, the y issued an address to the trades, which was placarded on the ‘valls. The following is a copy. : Liberty—To the Trades of Manchester a,qd the surrounding Districts—Fellow workm en—We hasten to lay before you the paramount importance of this day's proceedings. The Delegates from the surround ing districts have been more numerous at this days meeting than they were at yesterday's ; and the spirit of determination manifested for the people's rights has increased every hour. In consequence of the unjust and unconstitutional interference of the Magis trates, our proceedings were abruptly brOught to a einse by their dispersing the meeting, but not until in tlic'ir ver y teeth we passed the following resolu tion :—‘ Sesolved, that the delegates in public meet ing assembled do recommend to the various constitu encies which we represent to adopt all legal means to carry into effect the People's Charter. And further, we recommend that (I:3legates •he sent through the whole of the countActi endeavour to obtain the co operation of the middle and working classes in carry ing out the . resolution of ceasing labour until the Charter be made the law of the land:—Englishmen, legally determine to maintain the peace and well being of society, and show, by your strict adherence to our resolutions, that we are your true representa• lives. Do your duty—we will do ours. 'We meet again to-morrow ; and the result of our deliberations will be fully laid before you. "ALEXANDER HUCLTINSON, Chairman. "CHARLES STUART, See., pro tetri. " Manchester, Aug. 16, 1842." The Delegates are still sitting, ansl we have not yet heard what resolutions have been adopted by them this morning. PENDLETON. Between nine and ten o'clock this (Wednesday) morning, a mob of between 300 and 400 persons, boys, men , and women, having a flag with them, _and. some of them provided with sticks, went to the,Vic toria Mills, Eccles-road, which were working, and demanded that the,hands should be turned out and cease working. The hands did come out; but imme diately made a rush at the mob, and beat most of them off the ground, The mob then went.across the fields towards the print works of Messrs. Coates and M'Naghten at Seedley ; and Mr. John Coates, seeing them coming, immediately directed that the works should be stopped, and that the hands should muster to beat off the rioters. Accordingly, .about 150 hands, armed with bludgeons, speedily assembled, and were led by Mr. John Coates against the rioters, who were immediately routed, and fled in all directions. Up to this time Messrs. Coates and M'Naghten's men had only one special constable with them ; but, shortly'afterwards, a body of about forty of the police arrived, and they succeeded in taking seven or eight prisoners; several of them were severely hurt about the arms by the truncheons or bludgeons. Both the Victoria mills and the Seedley dye-works resumed working immediately afterwards, and have continued up to the present time. BEV ERLE Y. DEATH BY POISON.—On Wednesday,_ the 10th inst., a most melancholy circumstance occurred in Beverley ; a whole family was destroyedby poison. The servant, as is supposed, of Mr. F. C: Beauvais, druggist, or Mrs. Beauvais, for it is not cleitrly ascer tained which, was making a pudding for dinner, and having occasion to fetch more flour, by some mistake or other, arsenic was mixed with it. About two o'clock Mr. Beauvais fell ill, and Mrs. B, sent for a surgeon, but by , the time the surgeon came, Mrs. Beauvais and the servant were also ill, and about seven o'clock the :ierrant maid died. It appears that the tub in which the arsenic was kept; stood upon a shelf over the flour bin, and it is probable that some ' of the arsenic might have fallen down amongst the flour. On Friday morning, about ten o'clock, Mrs. Beauvais died ; and on Sunday morning. at four o'clock, Mr. Beaux ais. Ingnests were held on the three bodies, before E. 1). Conyers, Esq., and facts were elicited which certainly showed considerable negligonce on the part of Sir. B, in regard to the manner in which such a deadly article as arsenic was kept. It. appears, by observations made by the Jury, when investigating the matter, that the arsenic was kept in a small cask, and the quantity required for the shop was extracted at the bung-bole with a table spoon. Under the bung-hole was placed-a plate, to preserve any portiou that might drop down while ex tracting it from the cask. Close by the plate was a small bag with flour ; and about the distance of two feet was a pot in which flour was kept. It is pro bable, therefore, that the servant maid might have seen some white powder on the plate, and' supposing it to be flour, swept it into the pot. and from this pot the flour was brought to make the pudding which caused the death of all the parties.— York'Courant. HULL. AUG. 16, 1812.—A second detachrdent of in-. fantry left this town soon after I had posted my letter yesterday, and a third application, more urgent than the two former, arrived by a sub sequent train. The Mayor of Leeds stated, as an additional reason why Colonel Simpson, the Commandant here, should send a reinforcemen t, that he had made many applications to other depots, but the general answer was, -that not a man could be spared. The Magistrates met yesterday, ,and again this morning.. I believe the third despatch of troops was agreed upon, the military force at the garrison being consider able, and there being a large number of effective pensioners in this place, besides a strong police force. A Chartist meeting wati held last night, which the authorities kept their eye upon, This - evening the notorious Acland was to harangue the people in the Market-place; but the meeting has been countermanded, and will not therefore take place. The Mayor is acting with becoming spirit, and is supported by his brother - Magistrates with Much unanimity and zeal. I have no fear of this town being disgraced by exhibitions of a character like those made in most of the towns in Lancashire and the surround ing districts. The Queen's Proclamation is posted through the borough, and the Magistrates have been engaged in making every needful prepara tion in the event of an attempt being made to in flame the populace. There is a large cotton and flax spinning establishment here, chiefly worked by hands scraped out of Staleybridge, Stockport, &c., a considerable number of them Irish. There is consequently no want of combustible material for revolutionary agitators to work upon. There is a report abroad that next Thursday is the day fixed upon for a turn out of the Irish hands here, accompanied with a threat to burn down the fac tories if any hands are found at work. Several strangers have been seen in town to-day, known to come from the Ashton district; whether they are here as emissaries or not, I cannot say. I send you a copy of a letter, written "by ordtr," &c., from the turn-outs at Ashton to a party in this town. The Mayor is in possession of the original, of which the following is a faith ful transcript. it is important, inasmuch is it shows the rapidity with which the Committees of the confederated workmen receive and circulate intelligence connected with the incipient insur rection, and discloses the fact of their being in close alliance with other parties, who_were rally supplying them with means to carry - on the war, and demonstrates, beyond all "denbt theivat ob4et of this universal rise, mid 'the steps taken to make it simultaneous. You will see that se early as Thursday last it was agreed that there should lie a general muster in the , churches, of which I believe the authorities of. Manchester were not aware till some time after. The enthu siasm displayed in this dispatch, written to this town "by order," when speaking of .bloodshed, liberty, and revolution, ought not to be lost upon you, as illustrative of the spirit in which im mense numbers of the labouring classes would enter upon the fearful work of civil anarchy. Here is the despatch referred to " Ashton, AUgust, 1842. " On Wednesday night I came . to Staley bridge. I saw Thomas Tonge ; lie has got no work yet ;, he is going on tramp again, I believe. 1 saw him at a public meeting on the Hague. On Friday Bailey's hands turned out. On Monday morning all mills in Staleybridge turned out. I was working at Mason's at this time. I got work the same morning. The mills' all being stop ped at Staleybridge„ they. ail came in a body to Ashton; stopped every mill there; . called e. Pleetiug between Asht4* sad fitaleyttadge. • ' ,
