At three o'clock this afternoon, in consequence of information received that an open air meeting was to be held in the Granby-row-fields, there was an im posi4- - array of military force collected opposite St. Peter s.Church. It consisted of two troops of Dra goons, _a • company of the Coldstream Guards, and a large kletachment of -Rifles and the 58th Regiment. They .went through the disturbed districts and made an efficacious display ; but there was no attempt at a Meeting. It being feaied that another attempt would be made, at four o'clock a much more imposing force, consist ing, in addition to the above, of four hundred police and special constables, went down to Granby-row fields; but - there being no opposition they marched on wards through Ancoats, back through Oldham-street, to their 'destination.

MANCHESTER, MONDAI.—The town has been eaceable throughout the night, and the meeting at L'Air o'clock went off quietly. It appears that its ob jects were to decide upon what steps should be taken to-day in different parts of the town, but the only re )lotion of which knowledge has been obtained, is the .strong recommendation of the different trades to ad here to their determination not to work under the "Itandard wages of 1840. At five o'clock two depu tations waited on Captain Sleigh, the Assistant Corn • i l l lissioner of Police, with a request to be allowed to / TM two meetings, at Campfield and Carpenters' i„,,a,. He referred them to the Queen's proclamation " 11 ,'"' issued, informing them that if they did so it "la be- at their peril. No official accounts were ecei ved at the Town-hall during the night, but ,L t inlours were heard in all directions that Manchester to be made the scene of a grand demonstration. le bustle at the Town-hall, from a very early hour Was er inal to that of any portion of the most trouble 40Ifie • times of last week.

PRESTON. %'OM the Second Edition of the Preston Pilot of Saturday.) • A meeting of operatives was held in Chadwick's the last night, about nine o'clock ; and though Lac numbers in attendance were considerable, the e towd vas not anything like what might have been anticipated. A detachment of the 72d were lodged in the assembly-room of the Bull Inn, and' were under arms all night. It was scarcely anticipated that any measures would have been taken by the w 0 1) to prevent the factories being started this morn pat the usual time. However, on one of the bells ,ad g rung at a little before six o'clock, the mob, which 'lassembled a short time previously in Chadwick's Orcha r d, marched towards the:North-road (the diree ti°ll in , which the bell had rung), and the first factory , e3' came to was Messrs. Catteral and Co.'s, whose "' hands they turned out, and then proceeded to Mr. F. ' 3 leddo n ' s , where preparations had been made for I Pistint the mob. A stout resistance was made, Mr. Sleddon himself being on the spot; but they were t c' ;'erpowered by the immense numbers after some hard hurt-in had been dealt out. Mr. Sleddon was slightly the in the affray, and a large. number of squares in _le factory w i n dows were smashed. The mob then vent to th e f ac t or i es at the west end of the town, and 'k. such as were at work were compelled to relinquish it. hDawson's factory a few squares of glass were l t By this time the mob had increased most wo nderfully, and included a very large proportion of a . "len and children; but its general appearance had more thr e atening aspect than at any time during When these - proceedings were going on, ythesterday. Alaycr and Magistrates assembled at the Bull n, where the Town-clerk joined them, and it • was determined to proceed to meet the rioters. This was at eight o'clock, and the public functionaries, ac companied by the detachment of the 72d, went' down Fishergate, and met the mob near Lune-street. The rioters opened two divisions for the purpose of the military passing through; but the 'orders were to let no one pass. The mob then proceeded down Lune street, fiillowed by the military, and when near the Corn Exchange, halted. The Riot Act was then read, and Chief-constable Woodford, and Mr. Banister, Superintendent of Police, endeavoured to persuade the mob to retire for fear of consequences ; and while so engaged one of the rioters aimed a stone so surely at Captain Woodford that - it felled :him to the ground, and while there had the brutality to kick him. Im-. mense bodies of stones were now thrown at the police and soldiers, many of the foriner being much hurt, and part of the mob having -gone up Fox-street they then had the advantage of stoning the military from both sides. Under these circumstances orders were given to fire; the military immediately obeyed, and several of the mob fell. This did .not appear to have much effect, for one fellow named Lancaster, who, I believe came from Blackburn, came out in front of the mob, and when in the act of lifting his hand to thrOw a stone was singled out by one of the 72d, who fired, and he fell. This appeared to put a damper on the proceedings of . the mob, and they began to separate, the Mayor, military, and Magis trates coming up the street. It is scarcely known how many have been wounded, but it is supposed from 12 to 15, some of them mortally. Five have been taken to the House of Recovery, and in course of the morning one of the five had his leg amputated above the knee, the. leg being completely splintered by the ball. A lad was shot through the wrist, the ball grazing his side. It is believed his hand must be amputated. One man was shot in the back, where the ball still remains in the bone, and it cannot be extracted. Two are shot through the chest, and one is in an exceedingly dangerous state. There is also one man shot through the bowels, which protrude in a shocking manner, and he is in a most precarious state. The medical gentleman who has been engaged to attend the sufferers states that he thinks four of the wounded will not recover. As may be expected, very considerable excitement prevails. Large posting-bills have been stuck up to announce that the Riot Act has been read, and that people are. forbidden to be seen about the streets in groups. A proclamation has also been issued, and indeed the authcirities are using every exertion to prevent any more assemblages. The following are the names of the individuals in the House of recovery William Petting, 21, steam-loom weaver, in the employ of Messrs. Dawson. He was shot through the knee, and has had his leg amputated. William Lancaster, 23, one of the ringleaders, was shot through the body, and lingers without hope of recovery. James Roberts, 20, steam-loom weaver, in the em ploy of Messrs. Gardner, is shot thrc ugh the wrist. John Mercer, 27, is shot through the body, and is not likely to recover. Adam Hodgson was shot through the back. John M`Namara was shot through the bowels ; no hopes are entertained of his recovery. William Moore is shot in the chest, and is in a very precarious state. He worked with Mr. Paley as a cotton-spinner. The people are assembling in different parts of the town, threatening to revenge the proceedings of the morning. 150 of the 60th Rifles have arrived from Manchester. The Liverpool Albion of yesterday says at eleven on. Saturday night the streets of Preston were per fectly quiet, and the morning of the Sabbath presented nothing unusual, except that the Mayor was accom panied to church by a much larger number of atten dants than usual. The scene of the commotion was visited throughout the day by many hundreds of the curious. It was found that about a dozen balls had struck the premises of Mr. Coup, of the Corporation Arms, two of them perforating the wooden gateway leading to the stable, and striking a stone post at a considerable distance, against which a man was lean ing. Mr. Coup's son was leading a horse into the stable close by at the time, and both these individuals had a narrow escape, though not cognisant at the time of what was going on outside. A ball also struck the stone top of the front door of the inn, at which the landlord's daughter was standing, and broke off a portion of the stone close to her feet. A window of the Angel Inn, on the opposite side of Lune-street, was also broken and perforated in some of the panes by small shot or pieces of broken ball, which, it ap peared, had first struck the lamp-post opposite. On our reporter leaving Preston, at four &clock yesterday afternoon, the town was in a state of perfect quiescence, without the slightest indication of any further disturbance being likely to arise. Some Rifles had come into the town on Saturday, and a detachment of the rural police from Bootle (thirty in number), under Mr. Superintendent Ste Nart, left this town yesterday morning, so that all was quiet. It was expected that the mill hands would turn into work this morning. RIOTOUS PROCEEDINGS AT WIGAN. WIGAN, MONDAY EVENING: 7 o'cLocx.—A riot ous and strange mob, amounting in number to some thousands, entered this town to-day, armed with bludgeons. They immediately proceeded to the various mills, collieries, and factories, stopped the en gines, and turned upwards of 3,000 persons out of employment. Having; effected !this outrage, they marched out of the town with savage yells of ex ultation towards the seat of the Earl of Balcarres, at Hay, in which neighbourhood there are a great number of collieries. On their passage through the town, they committed no other violence to property - than demanding provisions from the shopkeepers, which were of course given thern.-One ofthe curates of Wigan (Rev. Mr. Bessell) on endeavouring to remon strate with them was struck by a ruffian on the head, but he suffered no material injury. The principal streets are crowded with peaceable Operatives, and no fears are entertained for the safety of the town, unless the disorderly mob returns at midnight, which is much to be apprehended. A company of the 72d Highlanders, under the command of Captain Balfour, is stationed in the town, ready to act promply; when required. A disturbance is reported to have taken place at Hind ley, four miles from this place, and Captain Balfour has despatched thirty soldiers there, at the request of the County Magistrates. Hindley contains many cotton-mills, and all the hands have this day been turned out. Every inhabitant of Wigan and the surrounding townships have closed their shops, warehouses, &c., and business is totally suspended. Upon the shutters of several of the,closea shops the Chartists have posted copies of molutions entered into at the Sherwood Inn, Manchester, to the' effect that . the workmen there had resolved not again to resume work ..until 'the People's Charter became the laW of the land. The bludgeons with which the mob were armed were very formidable and destructive weapons, about half a yard in length, and about the thickness of a constable's staff. There was a great uniformity in their appear ance, and, they seemed as if they were all from the same manufactory. After turning out the workmen, the mob stayed for some time near to the Wigan station of the North Union Railway, watching the arrival and departure of the several trains, thepassen gers in which were alarmed at their vociferous shouts, and the terrific manner in which they brandished the bludgeons over their heads in demoniac triumph. HANLEY. FROM A PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.) AUG. 15.—1 write in haste to acquaint you with the state of this district, that is what has taken place within a few hours. A great meeting of colliers and potters took place in Hanley Market-place this morn ing at nine o'clock ; a body of colliers proceeded from thence to a coal-work where some men were em ployed, returned to the town, set at liberty some pri soners for light offences, stripped,the Police-office of the books, papers, &c., which were torn to atoms and strewed about the streets. One policeman was slightly injured; but as our police are more respected than any other in this district, no further injury was done them. The mob then proceeded to the house of a poor-rate collector, who is very unpopular with the working classes, broke every pane of glass in his house, demanded his, books and papers, which were soon committed in fragments to the winds, strewing the streets in all directions. From thence they went to the Court of Requests, destroyed the books there also, and cut the head of the clerk, a gentleman much respected by all parties. Proceeding to Stoke Police office, the books there shared the same fate, the furni ture was broken, brought out and burnt in the street. Here the military (a company of the 12th), with Bailey Rose, Esq., a stipendiary Magistrate at their head, were announced ; the mob divided, one part going the Lane End-road to decoy the soldiers, while the other parted by few and few, and met at the man sion of Thomas Allen, Esq., at Fenton, where they demolished the furniture and searched for arms (it beinreported there were 500 stand of the old volun teers, but few were to be found. They then went to the house of Bailey Rose, Esq., who was leading the troops in another direction, being completely out manoeuvred by the mob. He arrived at his house in about five minutes after it had been completely gutted, his furniture, books, &c., destroyed ; in fact, it was a complete wreck, done by the very party of whom he was in quest. It is further stated that Stomer, an unpopular policeman, has had his arm broken. I have just heard that the Fenton Police-office windows are all destroyed. Everything that could be burnt was piled up in two heaps and set on fire, to the great hazard of burning the houses, on which the inhabi tants were forced to throw great quantities of water. At Lane- enal ark et-b all (a 2olipe station) the books were destroyed.

A troop of Dragoons has just entered. BURSLE M. MONDAY MORNING.— The whole district is involved in a state of general confuiion. Meetings were held this morning, which were numerously attended, and at which nothing was admitted but the People's Charter. All the pits are stopped, and the " turn outs" have compelled both potters, carpenters, brick layers, and other artificers to abstain from work, and join in their revolutionary proceedings. A very general opinion prevails that in the course of the day the, mob will be reinforced by several thousand men from the neighbourhood of Manchester. It was expected that in the course of the day a party of men from Leek or Congleton; would march to the district, and, being reinforced by the turn-outs at Hanley, would proceed to Burslem. This informa tion has naturally excited some consternation in the neighbourhood. Special constables are at this very moment being sworn in, and the•. troops are quite pre pared for a resolute and determined encounter, if the state of things should render it necessary. Groups of beggars are still peranibulating the district, and, not content with soliciting charity, they have the audacity to fix the amount of contribution which they expect to receive from their benefactors. The several omnibus drivers were assured this morning by the men that when they returned the whole of the Potteries would be found in a blaze. STATE OF THE. STAFFORDSHIRE DISTRICT. (Abridged from the Staffordshire Examiner of Saturday.) The turn-out among the colliers still continues ; and there is but little prospect of their resuming work. They declare that they would rather eat the grass by the road side than work for two and sixpence per day. The masters, on the other hand, resolutely maintain their inability to accede to the terms of the men. Meetings ...ontinue to be held in various parts of the district, when resolutions similar to those passed at Westbromwich,- on Monday week, are adopted. At a meeting in Stafford•street, this morn ing (Friday) about two thousand colliers assem • bled, and were addressed by Cooper, a Chartist from Leicester. He decried the aristocracy, the bishops, and the Anti-Corn-law agitation ; and extolled the Charter as an unfailing panacea. The meeting was also addressed by Linney, a power loom weaver, from Manchester, and Candy, who we regret to hear, has broken a blood-vessel during the week. On Wednesday morning a body of col. Tiers assembled at Wednesbury. About twelve or fourteen thousand men from the neighbourhood of Lye-waste, Rowley, &e., marched through Dudley, on their way to the place of meeting : they were joined by immense numbers from the surrounding districts ; and at Wednesbury about twenty thou sand. The men in this neighbourhood do not ap pear to evince the slightest disposition to violence ; but listen with a kind of dogged indifference to the harangues delivered to them, except as far as relates to the resolution not to work at the reduced wages.— A meeting of the most influential iron and coal mas ters was held at the hotel, Dudley ; and a very nume rous body of colliers was in the neighbourhood. The terms of the men were not acceded to ; and they ex pressed their disapprobation of the masters by hisses. A party attacked the George Inn, kept by Mr. William Barlow, and 135 sash squares were quickly demolished, and much internal mischief done to his premises. Mr. Alcock's shop also was partially as sailed, and sixteen squares broken. Mr. Ryles's house was beset by a party of sixty colliers, and eighty-four squares broken, and the panels of his doors and shut ters beaten in. The furniture was much injured in side the house, looking-glasses were split, tables broken, and indentations in the wall over the child ren's beds, almost deep enough to hold- a pullet's egg. A pistol was fired, and the party obeyed the signal, and left the town by the Waterloo-road, towards Henley, leaving a number of their bludgeons on the ground. They had remained longer absent than was expected by their fellows in the other parts; for, after the firing of the pistol, when going to attack the George Inn and Mr. Ryles's, two sky rockets were sent up in the direction of Cowbridge between Burslem and Hanley, and little doubt can be entertained that they were informed of the military having been sent for. In consequence of an express sent as soon as could with safety be done, to New • castle, the Rifle company was brought, and arrived about three o'clock. _ _ During the afternoon a party of colliers from Long ton and the neighbourhood: turned out those at Norton, three miles from Burslem. One of the pro. prietors, Mr. Dean, was severely injured by a stone ; and the " turn-outs" ducked two of his bailiffs in a dirty puddle, and then in a water-pit belonging to one of the engines. THE MINING DISTRICTS OF STAFFORD SHIRE AND WARWICKSHIRE. . BIRMINGHAM. MoNDAr,--At present all remains in quietness and uncertainty ; but the repeated meetings of the colliers, not by hundreds alone but in thousands, coupled as these are with the exaggerated accounts from Man chester, begin to excite more than usual alarm in the minds of the inhabitants. The strike has now extended throughout the length and breadth of the Staffordshire and Warwickshire collieries. In the southern part of the county and the districts bordering on Birmingham, Wolverhamp ton, Walsall, and Dudley, there is scarcely a pit at work. It will hence be seen that the vast population embraced in a circle of some twenty miles in diame ter, inhabiting the towns and villages from Stour bridge to Cannock, and mostly dependent for their subsistence on occupations which require a large supply of coal, must shortly be thrown out of work unless the colliers resume their avocations. But there are certain obstacles existing to the ac complishment of this desirable object. The colliers in South Staffordshire, under the guid ance of Chartist agitators, have resolved, almost una nimously, to abstain from work until every master in the district agrees to their terms; there is a specific clause in one of their printed regulations, that even though a part of the employers should consent to give the wages demanded of them, these terms are not to be accepted by the colliers until every master in the district shall have done the same. In other words, it would appear that one master may be allowed to coerce, not only all the men, but all his fellow mas ters in the district. The Chartist O'Neill proposed the resolution to which I have adverted, and it was adopted unani mously at a meeting of 12,000 colliers. It has been ratified by similar meetings, and may be considered to have received the sanction of 40,000 persons in the district. Such a resolution is tantamount to an eter nal holiday. These 40,000 persons have pledged themselves to this, and having done so, they are called upon to adopt another resolution, that they will not work until the Charter becomes the basis of the Con stitution. Unless some speedy steps are adopted, and those steps are of a very energetic character, we can see nothing but confusion and distress among a population of some half million. Yeomanry Cavalry, were in perfect readiness to act, if their services were required. I It would appear that these precautionary steps were not altogether unnecessary. This morning at an early hour a number of men employed at Lord Ward's open-work collieries in this neighbourhood were sud denly surprised by an attack made by some hundreds of the turn-out colliers. The men were obliged to fly for their lives. The overlooker was dreadfully cut about the head; one of the men was thrown into the reservoir ; another had his arm broken, and all of the unfortunate fellows, who were peacefully and indus triously earning their bread, were in one way or other dreadfully maltreated. Another meeting is appointed to be held in this vicinity on Thursday next, and, as a matter of course, business, as to day, will be again suspended, and the middle classes of society, sworn in as special constables or yeo manry cavalry, are put to very considerable incon venience. Dudley is at this moment in a state of great un easiness. The streets are thronged with idlers. The language of O'Neill and Cook, at the meeting held at Russell's-hall to-day, was so guarded, that it was not deemed expedient to apprehend them. In the neighbourhood all is quiet. ALARYI Al' DERBY. EXPECTATION OF THE TURN-OUTS. (most A CORRESPONDENT.) DERBY, MONDAY, POUR O'CLOCK.--The Magis trates have received two or three expresses to-day, an nouncing that a large body of the turn-outs have reachld Leek, with the avowed determination ,of pro ceeding to Derby, and other manufacturing towns in the Midland Circuit. The last account that came states that they entered Leek towards noon to-day; and their next quarters (unless interrupted) will be Ashbourno, only 12 miles di s t ant. It i s u nderstood that the Uttoxeter troops of Yeomanry have been despatched to meet them between Leek and Ash bourne. The Magistrates here are taking every pre caution. One of them (I believe) has proceeded to London, to request assistance from Government. Should the turnouts reach Derby, it is feared many would join them, as there are already great numbers who cannot find employment or food ; and I have just been told that one class of men have already struck. The Derby and Chaddesden troop s of Yeomanry have received orders to be in readiness ; and should _the news brought by the next express not be more fa vourable, the inhabitants will be sworn in as special constables, as well as the pensioners. We have al ready from 12 to 15 soidiers here recruiting. NOTTINGHAM. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) MONDAY NOON.—On Monday noon, the working people of Nottingham and neighbourh oo d met on the open space fronting the Mansfield• road, known by the name of the "Burton Legs," to hear read the news relative to the strike in Manchester, and other places. Nottingham is at the height of political excitement, and seems impatient for the strike. The people are suffering the greatest privations, in consequence of the badness of trade. I write in haste. There is a beginning in Nottingham—God only knows where will be the end. The people are at this moment parading the streets in thousands. There has yet been no attack on property, and, I trust, there will not. There seems to be a disposition on the part of the mob to turn out the peaceable, but they have not yet commenced. late by the noble fortitude under suffering and patient obedience to the laws that you have displayed ? By correcting after every failure what had been wrong in your conduct, you have been justly earning an in creasing share of respect and confidence from your fellow-citizens, who have seen you year after year abandoning your errors and takin6 higher and stronger grounds for the support of your rights. " In nothing has this been more apparent than in the manly confidence with which you have received and supported men like Mr. Joseph Sturge, who have joined you from the middle classes of society. Grievous, most grievous, would be the injury you would do to your own cause by any ill-judged vio lence or illegal proceedings, which wo.uld certainly destroy your moral power, and undo ill the results of long years of manly fortitude and exertion. Now, measures like the universal and forced suspension of labour can scarcely lead to any results but confusion, to dreadful suffering—the collision of the people with the bayonets of the soldiery. " You make by this no appeal to men's reason or their moral sense of right and wrong, but leave all to the decision of force and chance. I trust you cannot long doubt which course is right to take. " Meet the movement of your fellow-operatives in a calm and friendly spirit of dissuasion, and do not add to their error by joining in it ! If you do this, and by such means should happily end the present fearful state of things, the operatives of Leeds will in deed stand high among their brethren, and deserve their lasting respect and gratitude ; and they will gain a power and influence over their fellow-citizens of the other classes of society, that will richly repay them for their forbearance and conscientious discharge of duty. aNever can a righteous cause be strengthened by any conduct not strictly just to others, and such as Christians ought alone to use towards their brethren. " I can honestly assure you that, if I were a Leeds workman, instead of an employer of workmen, my course would be the one I recommend to you. Believe me, it is not difficult for me to judge of what I would do in the situation of a workman of this town. Accustomed, as I have been, to witness the extent of their sufferings, and the fortitude and patience with which they have been borne, and to feel for and with each working man, it is not new for me to suppose myself in their -place. I hope this assurance of constant sympathy may induce you to receive these few words of warn ing and advice with the attention and kindness which can alone make them useful. " With earnest hopes that it may please God to avert the troubles that threaten us, and to put it into the hearts of all of us to lay aside all strife and wrong doing, and to act as ono Christian brotherhood, " I remain, yours faithfully, 4 J. G. MARSHALL." WEST BROMWICH. _ MONDAY.—The colliers .in this immediate district have evinced considerable restlessness ever since the news from Lancashire has been communicated to them. Joined to this, the resolution of the masters, who assembled at Dudley, on Saturday, has given them great dissatisfaction ; and while some are dis posed to view the strike"as useless, and are anxious to return to work on any conditions, others are resolved to brave it out, and to force their fellows to continued acquiescence. Ills morning (Monday) a meeting of the colliers, nailors, and forgemen, was held at Holly-hall, near Dudley. The number present was at least 10,000; and they were addressed by the usual speakers . in harangues of a most inflammatory nature. Whether their determination was assumed or hearty, they appeared equally unanimous in their resolutions not to yield in one particular to the employers. During the last day or two there have been rumours of projected violence, and some apprehension has been entertained for the safety of the Staffordshire Gas Works ; hut there is reason to believe that so long as O'Neill is at the head of the " turn- outs" no violence need be anticipated. DUDLEY. MONDAY EVENING.—A report was general in Bir mingham this morning that a great meeting was to be held in Dudley this day, and that it was the de termination of the Magistrates to apprehend O'Neill and other Chartist leaders, who are unquestionably the great obstacles to an amicable arrangement be tween the master colliers and their men. The ru mour led to a general muster of the colliers, and as the place of meeting fixed upon (Russell -green) was much more central than Swan-village, West Brom wich, the attendance was very numerous. There were not less than from 8,000 to 10,000 persons pre sent. At West Bromwich, although for some weeks past it has been the focus of discontent, there had been few: acts of violence, and not more than about 200 of the working population of that neigh bourhood had marched for the meeting at Dudley. The works at the various pits in the vicinity were, however, generally closed; and this morning several of the proprietors had drawn their horses, which had hitherto been at work, up the shafts of their colliery establishMents. This looks like a determination to resist the demand of the men. Both men and mas ters are determined. At Dudley the authorities are upon the alert, and every necessary precaution had been taken to pre serve the public peace. The Vicar, 111 r. T. Badger, Captain Bennett, and Mr.. Cartwright, were. in at tendance at the Dudley Arms, and a detachment of the 3d Dragoons, assisted by the Worcestershire LEEDS. MONDAY NOON, AUG. 15.—Intimation having reached this place on Saturday afternoon that a body of the turn-outs from Ashton-ur.der-Line, Oldham, Saddleworth, &c., had made a descent upon Hudders field, and had turned the hands out of all the mills, &c., whilst another section had advanced upon Sow erby-bridge and Halifax with the like intent, and these parties were likely to advance upon Dewsbury and Bradford, and join at Leeds, the authorities, civil and military, have been active in making arrange ments for the protection of the peace of the borough. Early on Sunday morning a detachment of the 11th, or Prince Albert's Own Hussars, arrived from York Barracks, another detachment .having gone forward to Huddersfield ; and the _Leeds' troop of the York shire Hussar Yeomanry were mustered by Captain Upton, and sent off in the evening, to relieve the 11th Hussars at York. Mr. Beckett, M.P., the Lieutenant-Colonel of the Yorkshire Hussars, arrived at Leeds by the evening railway train from London, and immediately gave orders for the Aberford troop of the same regiment. Last night the Magistrates held a conference with his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge (who is now commanding his regiment, the 17th Hussars, at Leeds), with Lieutenant-Colonel Beckett, and the other military ; and at the termination of the interview an express was despatched to the Comman dant of the garrison at Hull for additional troops to be sent into the West Riding, and one troop of the 17th Lancers was ordered to be marched in the night from Leeds to Bradford, to be ready in case of any out break in that town. . The Magistrates also resolved to warn the-muni cipal special constables to hold themselves in readiness for active service, to call out the pensioners to act as additional constables, and to convene the principal manufacturers for next day at noon, to advise upon the steps to be taken. The following notice has also been extensively is sued this morning : " NOTICE AND CAUTION. " The Magistrates of Leeds learn with regret that there are grounds for believing that a large number of lawless persons are expected to visit Leeds in the course of a very short time, with the object of creating terror, and disturbing the public peace. " The Magistrates rely with the utmost confidence on the peaceable and orderly disposition of the inha bitants of the borough of Leeds which has uniformly characterised their conduct. " It is the Magistrates' determination, with a firm and vigorous hand, to prot ec t th e pers ons and pro perty of her Majesty s subjects from injury and danger, and , for that purpose they will put in force every means in their power authorised by law to ap prehend and punish all evil-deers ; and the Magis trates feel assured that they will have the cordial and energetic support of all class es o f the inhabitants. "The Magistrates, therefore, i n vite all respectable and well-disposed persons to appear at the Court house this morning, Mond ay , t h e 15th of August, at nine o'clock, to be sworn in special constables. The pensioners resident in the borough of Leeds (being under the age of sa, and exempt from bodily infir mity) are required to present themselves at the Court house this day, Monday, at 12 o'clock, to be sworn special constables.

"Court-house, Leeds, Monday morning, Aug. 1.5." At present all is quiet; but active preparations are in progress, in the spirit of the placard. The Magis trates have been engaged all the morning in swearing in special constables, all the men in some of the prin cipal manufactories having been sworn. Colonel his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge and Lieutenant-Colonel Beckett are at the Court-house, reedy to act according to any emergency that may arise. LEEDS, MONDAY EVENING, 7 O'CLOCK.—The Earl of Harewood, who is the Major of the Yorkshire Regiment' of Hussars, has arrived this afternoonait the head of the Harewood and Aberford troops of that corps, which have been quartered in the town, and are ready to act as circumstances may require. dmeellyidein The following address has just be en the Member for Carlisle of that nam e .

MONDAY, NINE, A.M.—This town is now in a state of great agitation. A large meeting was held about seven o'clock, in front of the Odd Fellows'-hall, which has just broken up, and everybody is in expectation of something, but they scarcely know what. Few, if any, of tha shops are closed ; and though all work seems at a stand-still, it does not appear that the hands have been turned out by force or intimidation, but of their own free-will have abstained, thinking it safer to wait till the commotion is over. The Magistrates are busily engaged swearing in additional special constables at the Court-house, in front of which a body of soldiers are stationed. There were reports yesterday that a large body of Lancashire men were encamped in the suburbs, but the story seems to have been without fomidation. The Lancashire lads" are not expected till to morrow. WAKEFIELD. MONDAY, 'HALF-PAST TWELYE.—This town is in a state of considerable alarm, in consequence of a large body of from four to five thousand coal-miners, who have entered the town during this morning. It appears that the pitmen in this neighbourhood have had their wages reduced from time to time, until they have determined either to have an advance or turn out. A meeting, called by the following notice is now going on :-- "To CoALMINURS.—This is to give notice, .that a meeting of coalrniners, stewards, and masters, of Wakefield and its vicinity, will take pl ace on Monday next, the 15th day of August, at ten o'clock in the morning, at the Music Saloon, Wood-street, Wake field, to take into consideration the best way of amending the distressed state of the coalminers gene rally ; and it is hoped that every friend to his coun try, to himself and his rising generation, will now step forward and extricate himself and his fellow-suf ferers from the appalling distress which has long been gradually reducing the whole class of miners to a state of extreme poverty and indigence. Observe come, one and all, to the meeting, let nothing hinder." This meeting is in progress, in a room which will hold about one thousand persons. The multitude out side is four times that number, many of them armed with large sticks. No masters, it is believed, are pre sent at the meeting, and an adjournment to the Heath —a large piece of waste ground, distant about a mile —is talked of. The Wakefield division of the York shire Husszrs are parading the streets, and appear ances forbode no very quiet end of this gathering. A band of music and a green banner, bearing the follow ing inscription, "Britons, flock to the standard of liberty," is parading the town. DUNFERMLINE. LATEST PARTICULARS. DUNFERMLINE, FRIDAY MORNING, AUG. 12.-- Yesterday . afternoon things remained quiet as far as property was concerned ; but the imprisonment of several of the rioters seemed to cause loud murmurings and general discontent amongst the equally guilty at liberty, and some fears are entertained that unless they are liberated fresh disturbances may arise. The troop of Enniskillen Dragoons which arrived here (Dunfermline), on the application of Mr. Sheriff Monteith, from Edinburgh, on Wednesday morning, still remain, for the purpose of acting on a moment's notice, should, unfortunately, the misguided men be so infatuated as to make an attempt at a re newal of the past serious outrages. In addition to the military force temporarily sta tioned among us to protect property and the public peace, a large number of special constables have been sworn in for the same purpose ; but it is not seriously believed that any further wanton and malicious de struction of property will take place ; if it does, it will have for its origin the continued imprisonment of the captured rioters, several of whom have families. The rioters in gaol have undergone an examination before the Sheriff and other official authorities, and their respective declarations, as well as the depositions of the several witnesses, have been transmitted to the Crown agent in Edinburgh ; but as it is understood that that functionary has transmitted them to the Secretary of State for the Home Department (Sir James Graham), the result of the precagnitions will not be known before the lapse of several days in this quarter. It is, however, believed that the rioters will be fully committed for trial before the High Court of Justiciary at Edinburgh ; but that in the meantime bail of an unquestionable nature will be accepted for their appearance to answer any indictment which the Lord-Advocate for Scotland niay be instructed to pre fer against them. Every kind of business continues at a stand still, and numerous parties of weavers are perambulating the town peaceably; but apparently in deep medita tion. Many of them are receiving charity in the shape of food from several well-known benevolent in dividuals, as well as from others, it is believed, through fear of damage to their properties. As may be expected, the distress which existed be fore the riots took place among our manufacturing population has been aggravated in no inconsiderable degree, and many families of the weavers are posi tively more than borJering on a state of absolute starvation. At six o'clock this morning (Friday) everything continued to remain quiet. COURT •MARTIAL.—The General-Commanding-in- Chid having had the honour to lay before the Queen the prof:eedings of a General Court-martial, held in Chatham I3arraelis on the 27th of June last, and continued by ad journment to the 2d of July, for the trial, of Ensign Samuel Walter Kirk, of the 18th Regiment, arraigned upon the undermentioned charges.— [The charaes (ten in number) are too voluminous for insertion. They all refer to gross irregularities in the prisoner's accounts.J— Upon these charges the Court found the prisoner guilty on the whole of the ten charges, with the exception of so much of it as charges him with conduct unbecoming the character of a gentleman, of which part of the charge the Court therefore acquits him. The Court having found the accused guilty of the whole of the char g es exhibited against him, with the exception of so much of the additional charge as before, stated, which, being in breach of the articles of war, does in virtue thereof sentence him, the said Ensign Samuel Walter Kirk, of the 18th Regiment of Foot, and acting quarter master of the provisional battalion, to be cashiered, and her Majesty was pleased to approve and confirm the finding and sentence of the Court.—Joim 111`lloNALD, A dj u tent- General. WATERsrOUT.—The Mersey, Captain Steel, be longing to Liverpool, arrived at Oporto from the former port, reports having seen a waterspout on the 3d inst., which rapidly approached the Mersey, but passed about three ships' length off her. It then made a direct course towards a small schooner about a mile and a half a-head of the Mersey, which Captain Steel supposes was en gulphed in the vortex, as the. weather was thick at the time, with heavy rain, thunder, and lightning, and on its clearing up in about fifteen minutes after, the schooner was not to be seen, either on deck or aloft. The schooner was apparently steering the same course as the Mersey when the waterspout was first seen. The schooner at the time was under a heavy press of sail, and the weather being hazy ,- did not probably - perceive it until it was close upon her. The Rayonne Islands bore by compass S.E. by S., distant thirty•six miles, the wind tioni the north westward. EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, JULY 26.—1 t is lived that owing to a trifling rise in the inlet canal, in another week or two the trade of this place will receive a fresh im pulse from the arrival of the new crops, and the estab lishment ofprices for the shiflik produce, under which head may now be comprised nearly all the exports of this country, as completely therefore in the hands of the Government as before the abandonment of the old monopolies. The last mail took home a memorial to Lord Aber deen, signed by the majority of the British merchants here, representing to his Lordship, that according to the existing capitulations, they had conceived them selves exempted from all direct interference on the part of the local authorities, but that the proceedings of the Board of Health in an instance before their notice, and the conduct of her Majesty's Consul- General in refusing to interfere, had excited consider able apprehensions, while they were unaware as to how far the Consulate was warranted in submitting British subjects to the direct authority of the Egyptian Government. _ _ With regard to the proceedings of the Board of 'Health in the instance referred to in this memorial, by the time this reaches, the aggrieved party will have arrived in England to obtain redress. There has been an application by the French Con sul-General to the Pacha with regard to the transit to Suez. The matter of the French Consul's com munication appears to have been without any refer ence whatever to the transport of passengers. or to any French company established, or to be established for that purpose, but merely that with regard to the transport of merchandise. Of the projected navigable canal between the Mediterranean and Suez, Colonel Gallia Bey, has given in a very favourable report on the feasibility of this work. The fleet are actively preparing for sea under the new Admiral-in-Chief, Said Pacha. Recruits are daily arriving from the in terior. The new French line of direct steamers be tween this and Marseilles will commence next Janu ary, and it is projected to reduce the quarantine of passengers from Egypt by these steamers, to only three days, if with clean bills of health. (From the Malta Times.) CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 27.—The Austrian steamer, from Trebizonde, which arrived on Sunday, the 24th, brought no news from Persia. The Tatar had not arrived. Preparations, were, however, being made for hostilities, and Riza Kauli Khan, who commands the Persians, had had a skirmish with the Governor of Solimania, and had been worsted. This news, however, demands confirmation. The English and. Russian Governments have offered their mediation in the Turco-Persian business, and it will be doubtless accepted. The interests of the Persians in Constantinople are to be confided to Russia, during the period that hos tilities from that country menage Turkey. On the morning of the 25th the announcement was made to the public of the dismissal of 11. E. Arif Pacha, President of the Grand Council of Justice. Ile is succeeded by his Excellency Raouf Pacha, for merly Grand Vizier. Raouf Pacha yesterday went to the palace, and took his seat. SMYRNA, JULY 29.—The Frenth squadron, under the orders of Admiral De la Susse, sailed yesterday for Syra. Captain Forbes, of the American corvette Preble, died on Wednesday, 27th, after an illness of five days. The Vanguard and Cambridge were at Besika Bay on the 28th, and the Phoenix at the Dardanelles on the 27th. The Hecate had arrived at Alexandria on the 26th, too late to bring any news from the coast of Syria. ALEXANDRIA, JULY 26.—The troops have not as yet been paid according to promise, although some of the Coptic clerks and other Christians have received aqua vita in lieu of pay, which they have converted into money at a heavy discount. Orders have recently been given by the Pacha, that henceforward passengers' baggage in Egypt shall pass through, without being at all subject to the an noyance or inipertinent interference of the Custom house officers ; that all passengers and their baggage arriving by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamers from England, shall be landed at the Mah moudie canal near the Shouna, without passing, as heretofore, through the city of Alexandria, by which means six hours' time will be gained. The telegraph at Cairo is, as usual, to announce the arrival of steamers as well as the number of passengers they bring—that a propelling steamer be allowed to track upon the Mahmoudie canal station-houses and depots to be erected immediately at Suez—the Lotus steamer is to be repaired in the Pacha's docky-ard, and when finished will ply again between Atfe and Cairo. These advantages will be highly beneficial to travellers to and from India, and are attributable to the energy and talent of Captain Engledue, between whom and the Pacha the best understanding exists, and the Company cannot but appreciate the services of that officer, so recently entrusted with important commissions in India. The Pacha has given large commissions, princi pally for machinery of different kinds, the selection of which has leen entrusted to the judgment and acknowledged good taste of Captain Engledue. The three sons of the Pacha paid a visit to the Tagus steamer, and expressed much pleasure at the attentions shown to them. • SYRIA. BEYROUT JULY 10.-A private letter of this d a t e , via Alexandria, by the Emmetjee, announces that the news, although of little importance, had given some uneasiness. Mustapha Paella, it appears, continues to send emissaries to the mountaineers, obliging them, if possible, to sign documents, stating that they were satisfied with the Government of Omer Pachft, as was the case before ; with the Druses and Mutualls, and the Turks, as a matter of course, he was successful. The Christians have, however, refused to sign the pre cious documents, and have, in fact, sent petitions by private people, addressed to the British Ambassador at Constantinople, complaining of the conduct adopted. These petitions were forwarded by the Austrian steamer. At the same time they beg permission that one of the house of Shekab be appointed to rule over them. On the 6th instant an Egyptian frigate, the Reshid, and a Turkish corvette, arrived with troops, 4,000 in number. The Reshid was sent to Jaffa, there to land her men. MALTA. DEATH OF THE DUKE OF ORLEANS. AUG. 5,1842.—0 n the receipt of the distressing intelligence of the melancholy and untimely end of his Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans, Vite-Ad miral Sir E. W. C. R. Owen, Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's naval forces in the Mediterranean, testified the grief of the nation, by issuing the follow ing general memorandum : " The melancholy fact of the death of his Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans being unhappily con firmed, Ifer Majesty's ships and vessels present will testify their respect for the memory of his Royal High ness, by the following demonstrations "At eight, A.M., the ships' flags and colours will be shown as usual ; at noon, the French standard will be hoisted at half-mast, at the main of the Queen, Howe, and Ceylon, flagships, and when so placed, the flags, pendants, and colours of the ships are to be lowered and left flying at half-mast in a neglected state, the yards are to be dishevelled by bracing them into a neglected state, and the guards will parade with arms reversed, the bands playing a prolonged dead march with muffled drums. At sunset all must be replaced." This was continued for three successive days, and, by a request of the Admiral, all naval forces 'put themselves into mourning for the same period. His Excellency the Governor of Malta followed the Ad miral's example by requesting the officers of the gar rison and staff to wear crape round their left arm for a like term of three days, during which all places of public amusement were closed, and the royal standard at the palace, and the union jack on the several forts and cavaliers throughout the island were displayed half-mast high.

The Marylebone Club thus won the match in one innings with 200 runs to spare. WOOLWICH REGATTA. The exceeding beauty of the weather, and the very attractive bill of fare of the Woolwich watermen, drew to this favourite town yesterday a vast assemblage of spectators, who could have had but little reason to find fault with either the quality of quantity of sport. This was the second regatta at the same place, the inhabitants having, in consideration of the rivalry between the wutermen connected with the old Woolwich Company and those of the Watermen's Company, domed it tlxpe dient to let each party h ave a distinct mats, and neces sarily prevent the chance of any disagreement amongst them. The race was in five heats, on the old-fashioned and, we think, somewhat absurd below-bridge principle. 'Three started for the first heat, and the other . three (making six pair of sculls) for the second, and the winner of each of these lay by, while the four unsuocessful men exhibited in the third heat, the first two men .in which were eligible, with the first man of the first heat and the, first man of the second heat, for the fourth heat. It seems to us that matches of this description would be well enough to end here ; but it is not so, as the two first men of this race contend again together in the fifth and grand, heat, thus, at any rate, cutting out.plenty of work for the wagermen, and affording a whole day's amusement. At mid-day the following made their appearance in coloured dresses for the first heat :—William. Hobbs, red ; Richard Alcock, dark blue ; and T. Croney, After a very fair heat, dark blue was declared the winner. Immediately afterwards, James Young, pink ; Charles Burden, light blue ; and John Limber, orange, 'rowed the second heat, which was won by pink. The fuur losers then made a very tight match, and light blue and orange were successful. In the fourth heat, pink took the lead and kept it, followed by light blue ; and at a little before seven, these two men contested the grand heat, the race extending the whole front of the town, the distance being repeated. After about a dozen yards, pink took the lead, and kept it in first-rate style, win ning the race by 100 yards. There was an immense as semblage to witness the grand heat, and in the evening there was a very good display of fireworks on the water. ----- MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. • PORTSMOUTH . , SUNDAY.—The 71st Regiment marched in here from Chichester barracks on Wednesday and Thursday, and embarked on board the Resistance troop :ship for Quebec.

Two years ago, such was the state of trade in Bradford that three ovens were employed te,acconamo date persons who were inclined to have thgr dinners baked on a Sunday ; and a great accommodation it cer tainly was. But now things are changed, and so few are the persons requiring this accommodation- that not one oven can be found for the purpose. The poor hardly know what meat is. except from seeing it at the but cher's shops ; and on Saturdays it is painful to see many looking at what they cannot obtain,-many, many families not knowing the taste of meat for months toge ther. One tradesman in the Shambles Jas the following announcement in his window :—" In consequence of the depression of trade, no dinners will be baked here on Sundays ;" showing that people cannot afford to buy meat to get baked.— Wiltshire Independent. A Secretary of State being asked by an intimate friend why he did not promote merit, aptly replied, " Be cause merit did not promote me." The crop of sugar is much larger than had been expected, and it was thought that some of the island ships would carry to England a third cargo.--Afontreit 1 Courier.
