TUESDAY, AUG. 16.—The Royal Yacht Squadron Ball was more numerously attended than for some years past, upwards of 270 fashionables being present, not including two gentlemen of the " swell mob," who by some means got admission. They had no`,. been in the room twenty minutes when they went to work, but made a bad hit. The gentleman being a county Magistrate, was down on them in a moment. The younger of the two, Mr. Charles Hawkins, had his hand drawn into Mr. Farnell's coat-pocket ; in drawing it out again, his finger being crooked,brought out with it that gentleman's purse with fifteen so vereigns in it, and Mr. Thomas Howard had it in an instant afterwards, and in the next Mr. P. had his iron hands on both these worthies. The police were called in, and the parties searched. Besides the purse and contents were found on one, in a piece of brown paper, 15 sovereigns, also about 21. in silver, a lady's gold watch, with gold chain, and several valuable gold rings ; on the other about 21. They were taken off to Newport, and yesterday, on the evidence of Mr. Pa rnell and Mr. Lloyd, fully committed. They had dined and taken tea at the Vine Hotel, and had beds provided at Bartlett's, 39, High-street, but slept in Newport gaol. - WEDNESDAY, AUG. 17.—Queen's Cup of 100 guineas for Schooners only.—Harriet, Beardmore,Esl.l o2 tons, white and black' stars ; Gem, Marquis of Ormonde, 125 tons, death and marrow-bones ; Bril liant, G.

The town was full of company, every house crowded, and there were thousands to witness the sport, which was first rate. After the yachts were started, five fine yawls sailed for the town purse. This match was no sooner decided than the rowing matches commenced, and were continued until evening. The duck race was excellent —the duck a most impudent one, but not to be caught. There was a brilliant display of fire works afloat and on shore. The yachts were beautifully lighted up; the fixed pieces on the parade were splendid.

M. per Last r-'OI4SPIRACY TO MURDER THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA AND THE KING OF .PRUSSIA. (From the Britannia.) ~In the communication of our Frankfort cone /It udent, will be found the startling announcement ti 4i, a plot was formed by the nobles of Russia to 4 %2; :sinate the Emperor and the King of Prussia, °ll (x-casion of the recent vi sit of the latter to St. , tersburgh. This is the ,first intimation of such a e tilaspiracy which has yet been published ; but we I not therefore inclined to view the statement as . I, lll i founded. We know our correspondent to be intel 'Vent and active, and to have access to the best sources 6 f information ; and from the jealous secresy main tained on all such subjects in Russia, it is highly proba ble that the first intelligence of the plot would be given to the world by some members of the Prussian Court. details, we must refer to the communication itself. "le emancipation of the serfs has, it is known, excited great dissatisfaction among several of the most Powerful families of the empire ; and the whole narrative of the projected assassination, horrible as it is, is too much in accordance with other authentic r ecords of Russian conspiracy to excite disbelief on th e score of its atrocity. Our correspondent writes ' lv ith great confidence, and, we are sure, would not 11. -nice so extraordinary a statement on light grounds. All England will be startled and horrified at this 'announcement. It is but too true. It comes from a source which defies contradiction. The grand day of the a nuptial jubilee at St. Petersbu r g h had nearl y Proved day of deep and dreadful mourning. tinder Divine P rov idence, the terrible calamity was averted °lfily by the wonderful ' presence of mind of the King of Prussia. From the very first moment that the Emperor of Russia resolved upon pro :ltiulgating the ukase which has redeemed millions „,,` of slaves from the cha ins of their tyrants, the o 'l3ses became enraged against him to the utmost Pitch of exasperation, and entered into a dark 'and widely-spread conspiracy to take his life upon the very first convenient opportunity that might present itself. Believing that the emancipation of the serfs :tad been earnestly suggested and recommended to the " -- eanperor by the King of Prussia, they determined 'that th e latter great and good monarch should perish , at the same moment with their sovereign. With the fixed and fell purpose of carrying their atrocious Project into execution, they waited with impatience for the hour which was to bring both monarchs together, amidst the acclamation of hundreds of thou aands. In the meantime the Emperor received pri vate information of their diabolical design, but con tealing it from his illustrious brother-in-law, he or dered that the chiefs of the conspiracy should be Instantly seized and sent off to Siberia. His orders Were promptly executed, but this only served to Increase the number of murderous villains who had Previously . doomed him to death, and decided that he ought never to ha ve been p ermitted to live unless as the passive instrument of their will. ooking forward to the 25 th of Jul y (0. S.) as their ~ .:.ides of March, they prepared to muster in overwhelm log numbers on that day, caring not whether they 'neluged the streets of St.Petersburgh with blood, pro vided shed the blood of their intended victims. -'-he signal for slaughter was to be given at a late hour f: the day, when all their forces should have assembled. Leanwhile the Emperor being accurately informed of all eir proceedings and machinations throughout his Eu io pean dominions, adopted ever y p ossible precau -1 1" to guard against dang er so awfull y imminent. 1 le ordered to the capital all those troops on ,'hose fidelity he thought he cou ld most rel y , and moved to a considerable distance those whom 'it s _ . e distrusted. He quadruple d the number of his d y guards, selecting his augmentation from e ,° l 4 sof tried and devoted lo y alt y . B y this time the King of Prussia was on his wa y to St. Peters - nrg h ; and scarcely had his Maje st y landed on the Z , kors s of the Neva, whe n he could p erceive, from s r% ,ception, the envenomed feelings of preju dice and bi ttreu . which ' the nobles had excited against him. Has te on to the palace of Peterhof with all possible SP eed ho resolved to get back to his own country with little &lay as decency would permit, being impa tiently anxious to escape from a rude, barbarous, and Inhospitable land. There is no doubt whatever that, rearing the %Worst, he was p re p ared to be continually 11 P on his gurn.d. The interchange of domestic and afrectiona.te regards, between him and the members of t he Imperial fainily, was short and abrupt on this ac "l3 xit. But it vias deemed politic that, at any risks, a public demonstrat ion of family union and family happi tess should be made upon a scale of unprecedented • grandeur. The Prussian Monarch, however, was ;m -lnovably resolved that t he time which his part :n the pageant was to occupy should not exceed one hour ! Leaving the Palace of Peterhof amidst compact masses of faithful guards, both cavalry and !niantry, their imperial and royal Majesties a rrived in ` t he great square of St. Petersburgh at a much earlier 'lour thanthose who were intent upon their destruction Were led to expect. The admirable foresight of the King of Prussia thus disconcerted all the plans of the conspirators; for while they thought the grand scenes 'f the day were only about to commence, they were c . 'early all . ove r. The monarchs embrac ed each other in midst troops o: the grand square with evid ent emotion— s( unding pr e senting a rms, and peals of artillery re m all directions, as well from the land side Ss en the ship p i ng in the Nas Neva. The Guards were then put through some fey' evolutions, but in no instance so as to interfere with the ssompactness of their lines, and in sediately afterwards Their Majesties ,returned in al 'elty to Peterhof, which was in all respects converted int, s' a strong garrison, while every spot of ground aro aid • it was covered with the Imperial Guards, and the stanchest troops of the line occupied all the prig e'ipal streets of St. Petersburgh. In the meantime as tl to hour for giving the signal approached, the cons; al . rators were seen advancing in separ:kte de tachi - nunt s towards the spot where they were W act, a vest u n ited h os t ; b u t the force opposed to them 13 eiT over vhelm' variou s dinnsg; they were obliged to dispers e . reeti l o l iat not, however, before they gave convincing proofs among the Russian nobles and then adherents are t o be found thousands of the Most fer, )cious and blood-thirsty a ages in the uni verse.

" Not the least," replied the showman, "he never bites—he swallows his wittles whole." Sul R. PEEL.---A rumour prevailed here yesterday that Sir R. Peel would arrive with the London steam ship Si this port last night. In consequence of this re port, upwards of 500 persons lined the quay before the arrival of the steamer at the entrance to the harbour. Unfortunately, and we believe on account of the disturbed s ote of Lancashire, the Right Hon. Baronet did not make his appearance, his presence being required in Londo! 1 to guide the Home Secretary by hi 6 advice. We understood that apartments were taken for Sir Robert and suite ;11 an hotel in town, and that the illustrious Leader of the House of Commons Intended to have pro ceeded hence on a visit to Colonelßaillie, Inverness-shire.

The ',intelligence reesisie4 from the neighbouring towns is not yet of so cheering a efir4axter, The sus pension of labour system still prevails among thew, but the breaking up of the system by the operatives of Manchester must have its effect upon those towns as soon as the vagabond hands of rioters are forced to disperse. Accounts from Preston state that the handa Pr one of the mills belonging to Messrs. Francis had again turned out last night for an advance of wages. The workmen employed in two other mills are expected to strike this morning. At Haslingden, A town situate a few miles from Manchester, much alarm was _created by the `pp fart - a nce o: a mob of pers ons, who entered ti* WWII la night. The num ber of these rioters amounted tn about 10,060 ; and they took meat, drink, and money from thg Shopkeepers. An express was sent for mili tary aid to the General of the district, at Manchester, but none could be spared, the state of this town re quiring the large force at the disposal of the authori ties to be kept up. This morning a company of Rifles was despatched to Rochdale and the neighbourhood, in consequence of a message to the Major-General that riots were likely to take place. At Blackburn all remains quiet , but the Ingls are still at a stand. The following extract from a letter, giving an ac count of the proceedings of the lawless mob which visited West Oughton on Monday, is interesting, though the circum s tances are partly known already, - as it affords a striking woof of the intimidation exer cised over the peaceable and industrious oneratiye : " You are probably aware that on Monda y from ‘,00() to 8,000 persons came as a mob through this village from Bolton, &c. Previous to coming here, they had stopped the collieries of Mr. Hulton and Mr. Wood ward, as well as the stationary engine upon the line of the BolioD and Leigh Railway at Chequer bent. Their next step was my mill, Which was stopped instanter by a party . of them breaking the yanl doors, and knocking the plugs out of the boilers, On their way they demanded bread, cheese, &c., from all the publicans and shopkeepers ; but without waiting for its being given them, they unceremoniously took it in a very threatening manner, which was truly alarming, and were also I"PrY desirous to commit their unlawful acts upon the private residences of respect able individuals, but were ordered to desist by parties who appeared to have some control over them. I have not heard of any instance where they succeeded in getting ale or sutras, except at the Hulton Arms, in Hulton. They theft proceeded to Hindley (but a party from Wigan had previously stopped the works there) still levying contributions as they went along, whidn in very few cases were refused. They re turned through the higher part of this village in the evening.
