No disturbances had taken place since the 6t h oe Bth instant; but a fretitless attempt had been made to fire the house of the LA Ir"A sEuR, the bold and resolute opposer of his refractory people.

Thus the "11 returns upon its originators, and either de- Priv es them of their work or reduces their wages --a f it vunishment for the perverse obstinacy wi t h -which their evil plans are followed up. If, however, the spirit of combination extends to an hther m anufacturing State, the competition is de ti.°Yed, and a premium is held out to one or the ethe r t o accede to the proposals of the workmen, eca nse the foreign markets can be supplied by Them alone, and prices may be demanded more sollicient to counterbalance any loss a re tietion in the number of their customers would e si°l ', example which self-defence will s t:a 2n Peed• -11 y teach the other party to follow.

MR. CANNING. We'are happy in being able to state that Mr. Secretary Canning is quite recovered from his late illness, and that, the Right honourable Gentleman never was in the enjoyment of better health. The Right Honourable George Canning intends coming from Cheltenham to this city,-for the purpose of paying another visit to the Marquis of Wellesley. Two other distinguished English -men are also expected to visit this country_Henry Brougham, Esq. and Sir Francis Burdett ; the former at the termination of his Circuit business, and the latter in the course of the present month.—(Dublin Evening Post.) His Royal Highness the Duke of Yort.F. passed through this town on Sunday last on his way to Baslow, to join the Dukes of Rutland, Devonshire, and Richmond, on a shooting excur sion on the moors in that neighbourhood. In consequence of orders having been received at the King's Head IlotO the pre ceding evening, to have a relay of horses by ten o'clock on the following morning, his Royal Highness's intended arrival be came generally known, and a great concourse of people as sembled to pay him every mark of respect. His Royal High ness did not arrive till nearly one. Be looked remarkably well, and after the few minutes occupied in changing horses (during which he evinced the most condescending manners) he proceeded on his journey amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the populace.—(Derby Mercury.) MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.—Yesterday was married, at the New Church, St. Pancras, by the Rev. George Osborne Townshend, John, eldest son of Lord John Townshend, of Balls Park, Hertfordshire, to Elizabeth Jane, eldest daughter of Lord George Stuart. The bride was given away by the _Marquis of Bute. There were present several relatives of the two Noble Families. Shortly after the ceremony, the happy couple set Off for Captain Chard's villa at Richmond, where they intend to pass the honey-moon.—The Noble Party par took of an elegant dejeunc at Batts' Hotel, in Dover-street. Rvng.—Our season may now be said to be at its height, and never at any former period has it been so crowded with fa shionable and most respectable company. The marine pro menade, the Pier, which cfFoids an ever varying scene, is thronged to excess every eveninp,..until dusk, when the public roans at the Library become the scene of attraction. The quadrille party, on ThrJsday last, was well attended by up. wards of 60 persons, and dancing continued with much spirit until a late hour. Our Theatre, which has been newly deco rated, opened on Monday last, to a very good house, and we hope the exertions of Mr. Barnett, the manager, will meet with every success. ~tmongst the latest arrivals are the following:— Sir A. C. Dickson, Lady Dickson and family, Mr. Paley, Mr. and Mrs. Sherwood, Mr. .Nelson, Mr. Tootal, Mr. Haylock, Mr. D. Hawkins, Miss Betts, Miss Watkin, Mr. J. Smith, Miss Taylor, Mr. Moody, Mrs. and Mist, . Thompson, Mr. and MrS. Dove, Mrs. Wade, Mr. B. Barnwell and family, Mr. and Mrs. Oglander and family, Mr. C.

Bedingfield, Mrs. Mumpus and family, Mr. and Mrs. Bachelor, Mr. Boyce, Mr. Bellamy, Mrs. Launett, Mrs Penley, Miss Westcomb, Mr. Barclay; Mrs. Kennedy. LORD COCIIRANE.—The following particulars respecting Lord COCHRANE come from a quarter on which we can rely :—" His Lordship had on Thursday morning a meet ing with the leading members of the Greek Con;mittee. His proposals to them are of the most liberal description. By re signing his situation of First Admiral of the Brazilian Navy, his Lordship gives up nearly 6,0061. a year, and a pension, upon retiring, of half that sum, settled upon himself and Lady for life ; besides unliquidated claims to a considerable amount. His Lordship leaves it to the Committee to settle the amount of the recompence to be awarded to him for his services; but he expressly stipulates, that the auxiliary expedition shall be placed under his whole and sole controul—the trammels in which his Lordship repeatedly found himself, while in South America; having tended greatly to impede, and even endanger, the success of his naval operations."—( Times.) His Holiness LEO. XII., wishing to give a signal proof of his regard for the family of M. CLERMONT-TONNERRE, who tins rendered great services to the Holy See, created, on his eleva tion to the Papal Chair, M. Lieutenant-General Clermont Tonnere a itoman Prince. His Ma jesty, by an or di nance o f J u ly 27, has authorised him to bear that title, and transmit it to his de scendants without prejudice to their rights as Frenchmen.—(Eloile.) Yesterday a deep trick was played off on a lady named MiouLEToN, residing in'King-street; Soho-square, by.a man having the appearance of a labourer, who called at her house and in formed her that her mother, who resided at Highgate, was on the point of death, and desired to see her without loss of time ; that such was the urgency of the case, he had come away with out changing his dress, and trusted that she would give him s omet hi ng. for h i s trou bl e , an d upon being asked what would satisfy him, said ss. Mrs. Middleton observed, that she had not so much silver about her, but that if he accom her part of th e way, it should be g i ven panied him, which he consented to. On the road he said he could obtL. n ch ange o f a sovere i gn o f : the toll-gate - keeper, which w as i n t rus t e d to hi m , Mr. Middleton pas'sin g through the gate, ex pecting him to follow, but instead of which he decamped wiih the whole. It was ten o'clock at night when she reached Highgate, and found her mother in perfect health. Th e f ellow can be recog n ized both by Mrs. Middleton and the toll collector, from Nvhom he received the change, and deserves to be well punishtd for his pains. POETRY, LINES TO A FAITHLESS HUSBAND:. Can the voice of reason reach you, In the midst of frantic joys, If it can, all' let it teach you, What my peace of mind destroys. Oh 'tis not the wrongs you've done me, Prey upon my wounded mind, But the heart, with which you won me, To another you've resigned. Souls more gross than mine m a y pl easure , • Feel in what the brutes partake, But to me the dearest treasure, Was the faith which ne'er could break. Let the syren, who's ensnared thee, • Glut upon the grosser part, If„you only could have spared me, All I wish'd to have, your heart. But too well I know, that never, Stich a partnership can be, Soul and body ne'er cam sever, Until death has set thee free. That I lov'd thee, ah how dearly, Heaven knows who heard my vows, That my faith I've kept sincerely, Self-approving conscience knows. Not by merely chastly keeping, That each matron ought to do, But my thoughts, awake or sleeping, - Never once have stray'd from you. Oh you had (cease teen from flowing), A heart so tender, and so true ; Eyery joy of heaven's bestowing, All were center'd, once in you. While I write, my babe lies sleeping, Cradled by its mother's arms; unconscious that her eyes are weeping, O'er the author of his charms. But no more, the' thus I've,slieWn thee, All that rends may heart in twain, Think not that I will ever own thee, Or receive thee, back again. The die is cast, for I can never, Sue for a divided heart : Nor imagine time can ever, Sooth my soul or ease its smart. Yet 1 wish thee, every blessing, Heaven can give, or man receive, And the' absent, still possessing, All those joys, for which I grieve. ANECDOTES, &c. ANTIFATHIES AND FEARS.—It is difficult to account for the dislikes Which some persons tale to those things which arc pleasing in themselves, and generally admired. The celebrated Marquis de la Roche Jacquiline, though he stood undaunted in the field of slaughter, always trembled and turned pale at the sight of a harmless squirrel.—The Cardinals Condona and Cavassa, and a Venetian Nobleman of the family of Barbaragi, as well as Lady Heneage, one of the Maids of Honour to Queen Elizabeth, invariably swooned at the sight of a rose.--A family of rank, resident in Aquitane, had such an antipathy to apples, that at the sight of that fruit their noaes would bleed profusely. Various similar instances of unaccountable antipathies and dis. like, might be adduced on tle authority and credit of celebrated Biographers and Historians. . SECOND APPEARANCE.—A young Lady recently made her appearance at one of our Theatres, not one hundred miles from Covent-garden, but with indifferent success, and was not of course called on by the Manager again. She from time to time pressed the Theatrical Monarch to say when she should make her second appearance. " Your second appearance," said he one day musing, " let me see, why as soon, Madam, as the public shall have forgotten your first." NAVAL ANECDOTE.—During the American War, Sir R IctrAirn frioTHAm and Captain FANstrAwr, then eom mandim, two frigates, were ordered to land solue British troops they had on hoard up Iludson's River, in a narrow part of which the Americans had thrown up two strong batteries, Which completely commanded the navigation. Capt. Hotham, who was ahead, first discovered the danger, which he soon after communicated to Captain Fanshawe, and requested his opinion as to the prudence of the attempt; to which the latter replied, " My dear fellow, we are ordered to put these men on shore at a particular spot, and if I had been ordered to land them in bell, by God I would have a thunder at the gate." An hour after the batteries were passed without material . injury, and he troops safely landed. E Alt M Y.

A detachment belonging to the GOth Regiment of Infantry marched yesterday from Westminster, far %Veedon. ROYAL PIETY.--The Archbishop of PARIS, who has recently returned from Rome, received a letter from Charles X., in which his Majesty observes, that on the approach of .the solemnity which the Church annually celebrates in honour of the Virgin Mary, he is reminded of the piety of his most august and honoured predecessors, who consecrated France to the Mother of God as her special patroness. " Desiring," says his Majesty, " to conform to such great examples, and to place our reign under the protection of the Queen of Heaven, I address to you this letter, to inform you that my will is, that on the dqy of the Assumption. of the Most Holy Virgin you cause to be read from the pulpit the Declaration of Louis XIII., on the 10th of February, 1638, in your Metropolitau Church, and in the other churches within► your dio cese." His Majesty then orders, that in con formity with that declaration, a general proces sion shall take place in .the cathedral, which he promises to attend, and to which he desires the Archbishop to invite all civil, judicial, and mili tary authorities. The Archbishop, in fulfilment of his Majesty's directions, issued on the 12th a mandame►►t to the clergy of his diocess, in which, after attributing the twofold restoration of the Bourbons :►ed all other blessings enjoyed by France to the mediation of the Virgin, he orders the reading of the edict of Louis XIII., the pro cession instituted thereby to be carried into effect, and the King's letter with his own mandament to be read in all the churches and chapels of his diocess. Kensington and Knightsbridge are about to have a. new Church. The site of it will be, it is said, at the point just behind Sloane-street, Knightsbridge, where the road separates into two roads, one leading to Kensington, on to Brentford, &c., and the other to Brompton,Ful ham, atc. The proposed church will thus be nearly opposite the Dragoon Barracks, at Knights bridge. Mr. Nimmo, the engineer, deputed by Govern ment to survey the harbour of Tralee, has re ported that vessels of 200 tons can be brought to lie alongside the town, at a safe and commodious quay, at an expence ,of from eight to nine thou sand pounds-2,500/.has alread y b een subscribed for this purpose. ---(Dublin Freeman's Journal.)

Four hordes are expected to contend for the Wye Stakes, three for the Herefordshire'Stakes, and six for the Hunters' Stakes. The race for the Gold Cup will,prove very interesting, as the horses are well matched; Rowlstone is rather the favou rite. The Foley Stakes and Earl Somers's Plate will also, it is supposed, afford considerable sport. CRICKET. A grand Match was played yesterday (Thursday) at Lord's ground, Marylebone, between eleven of the Uxbridge and eleven of the Kennington Clubs, during which the superior play of the former was very evident. The game was decided in favour of the Uxbridg Players, as will be seen by the fol lowing statement Ist Innings. 2d,lnnings.

THE THEATRE. liArbf ARKET.—That admirable drarnAtie sia• tire, The Critic, or a Tragedy Rehearsed, was re presented last night at this Theatre. It is hardly necessary to observe that this humorous F,lrce was founded upon the Duke of Bucturion - Ara's Rehearsal, written to expose the bombastic ;;ty to of the Tragedies in vogue at the time when it was first produced, 1672. The first hero of the piece was Sir ROBERT HOWARD, but the Duke afterwards made DRYDEN the object of his ridi cule, who in return said that " the Duke was the Bayes of his own Rehearsal." HENRY FIELD, ING afterwards adopted the same plan in his drama entitled Pasquin, but, not contented with ridiculing bad plays, he directed his satire against the Ministry of the time, when RT WALPOLE Sir Ro- BE was at the head, in consequence of which an Act was passed for limiting the num ber of Playhouses and restraining the liberty of dramatic writers. The next imitation of this species of dramatic satire was Mr. GA a .RICK'S Farce, A Peep behind the Curtain, or The New Rehearsal. Mr. SHERIDAN then followed with the Piece represented last night , the first Act of which, in point of wit, humour, and character, is equal, if not indeed superior, to all the preceding Pieces of the same description. The same, however, cannot be said of the second Act, in which Puff, who was so shrewd, so satirical, and humorous in the first, proves a vain, silly, and contemptible Author. it is difficult to account for this inconsistency of character, unless upon the supposition that Mr. SHERIDAN intended a sly attack upon the Diurnal Critics of thohne, and to insinuate that though they were severe in their comments as Critics, they were wholly d titute of the qualifications necessary for good dramatic Authors. However this may be, it is certain that the ingenious Puff of the first Act is not the same Puff in the second. But to the performance of last night—if the Actors did not equal the original representatives of the Piece, it should be remembered the latter had all the advantage of novelty, and that the popularity of the Farce, and the consequent frequency of its repetition since, render it itnpos:ible for it to have the same raciness of impression. The Piece, however, went off last night with v ry great success, and afforded so much diversion to a very numerous audience, that it will probably be very attractive through the season: HAtit.tx was very lively and entertaining in Puff; FABREN was not less characteristic and diverting in Sir Fretful, and Mrs. Gums particularly succes4ul in Tilburina ; nor should WEST and WILLIASiS pass without commendatory notice in Whisker - andos and the Governor. On the whole, the piece is revived with strong effect, and the acting in general deserved the applause which it univer sally excited. ENGLItH OPERA HOUSE.—The fine music of SALIERI, in the new Opera of Tarrare, is e-i -dently ruing very high in pubic favour. In justice, however, to the Performers, it must he acknowledged that they render 'it ample justice throughout. BRAHAM never appeared to m ire advantage than in this Opera, and it has given him an opportunity of displaying coasiderable merit as an Actor. Miss PATON, last night, bai several encores. Her acting and singing are ex cellent. Pnir,LiPs also was encored. We have unjustly overlooked Mr. PERKINS in illtaniore, which he renders prominent in the Piecr, arsd exhibits also promising talents a singer. J. 0. ATKlNs'has also had an opportunity of coming forward as a singer, and the whole is really a fine musical and theatrical treat. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.
