We realised that consummation--a civil which the peace-loving Quaker of Bol the Home Secretary would be got ithout the loss of any of the really ests of society"—without the loss of any doable than the monarchy, the constitution, blished religion of the land! But the ses would not move to advance the in -3 of the Anti-Corn -law League. They ash to an insurrection to gratify even .ral and amiable p hi lanthropists.

But, we may ask, is it a thing which absolves alto gether the League party from a participation in having caused the present disturbances, if " the Charter" becomes now, or has been from the first, the object sought by the working classes ? Has the Anti-Corn- Law League kept itself of late widely apart from the Chartist agitation ? Have we witnessed of late no coquettings on the part of the League-men with the Chartist party ? Is Mr. John Brooks not a Chartist ? Are not the entire party in Manchester self-pledged to a sympathy with the objects sought by the O'Connors, the Vincents, and other gaol-birds of the same kidney ? Really, gentlemen of the League, you presume a little too much upon the short memory of the world, and its inattention to your raving absurdities ! Our Romish contemporary of Saturday offers but a halting reply to our late notices of the Jesuitical la bours of himself and his party. We were in error certainly in one of these, in stating St. Francis Xavier, the new favourite of the Papists of Liverpool, to have been the founder of the Order of Jesuits. " Odds, chronology and theology ! " exclaims the Journal ; " the apostle of the Indies the founder of the Jesuits !" Be it that St. Francis was not " the founder"—he was, however, " the chief disciple " of the founder ; was canonized by the same Pope in the same year ; and our " chronology," therefore, is net much in fault. Perhaps the Journal will tell us what " theology " has to do with the matter. In addition, however, to this error, we have been guilty of the serious offence of calling several things and persons by their proper names. We called the Right Hon. Daniel O'Connell, M.P., Lord Mayor of Dublin, A BEGGAR. We could find some seven mil lions of people who would vouch for the correctness of the appellation. We said—presuming that that il lustrious individual was to be chaperoned by William Rathbone into the presence of the merchants of Liver pool—that the said William would thus be enacting the part of " jackal" to the " Irish lion." We have a little changed our opinion upon this subject. The illustrious " beggar" does not merit comparison with the king of beasts; and William Rathbone would therefore only be enacting the part of pioneer and lickspittle to some more vulgar animal. 'We termed the editor of the Journal a " Romish journalist " and " a Jesuit." If he is not the former, our perception of men and things is at fault, as is that of the greater portion of this community ; and if he is not " a Je suit," he ought, according to the showing of Daniel O'Connell himself, to become one as fast as he can, and, moreover, never to feel shame in confessing him self to be one. Upon the general subject of " calling names," we would, in conclusion, refer him to the example of that eminent .personage ; and thus we leave him for the present. The Journal of Saturday indulges in a lengthy echo of the complaints made by the counsel for the pri soners in the recent abduction case, to the effect that the evidence, as to the proceedings of the parties and the condition of the plaintiff at Gretna, was not gone into, and that consequently " public justice" was not done to the parties condemned. " There were two indifferent parties," remarks the Journal, " present at the marriage —Linton, the keeper of the hotel, and his daughter—and neither of them was examined. The reason doubtless was that their evidence was adverse to the prosecution ; and we have heard that they both spoke in the strongest terms as to the act being a con scious and voluntary one on the part of the prosecu trix, and to circumstances bearing out that construc tion of it." The imputation here conveyed is a very unjust one, and is besides quite unwarranted by the facts. The reason why Linton and his daughter were not called, although in Liverpool, was not "because their evidence was adverse to the prosecution," but simply because it was not required to bring home the charge against the parties accused. These parties were arraigned for a felonious abduction, for the purpose of procuring the marriage of the female, and the subsequent possession of her property. The abduction and the intent were all which the statute under which they were indicted required to be proved. It was, as stated distinctly by the Lord Chief Justice, no matter whether Miss Crellin was made drunk or made herself drunk, or whether or not she was subsequently married, with her own con sent or without it. If any one, taking advantage of her intoxication, however produced, did, with an in tent to marry her against her consent, and secure the possession of her property, " carry her away though ever so little distance, such party was guilty of the offence charged." The abduction was the offence, which the after marriage, except by the consent of the party injured, could not get rid of. We may be asked, why were these parties, Linton and his daughter, here at all, if not required for the furtherance of justice ? We give the reply in the words of the Lord Chief Justice, in his charge to the Grand Jury. " There may probably," remarks his lordship, " be a question of much importance and difficulty raised, because, as it appears that the marriage did take place, the question of the validity of that marriage may of necessity precede every inquiry into the subject. If the female in question has become the wife of the principal party charged, she cannot then appear as a witness against him." Whether this is good law or not, we shall not stop to inquire. It is perfectly clear, however, that, as witnesses to the validity or invalidity of the marriage, these parties were in attendance. Of the abduction they could know nothing. They could testify, however, whether or not Miss Crellin was mar ried to one of the prisoners by her own consent—whe ther, in fact, she was his wife, and therefore incapaci tated from being a witness against him—and their evidence would no doubt have been secured had the point, as to the marriage being a bar to her being heard, been pressed. It was not pressed, however ; and probably because it was presumed that the expo sure of this silly and degraded woman in the witness box was more calculated to serve the prisoners than her total silence. Whilst upon this subject, although in the particular case before us we cannot agree with the censures of the Journal, we must nevertheless enter our decided protest against the way in which the recent assizes have been conducted throughout. A more hurried and slovenly administration of justice we never wit nessed ; and we doubt if there was ever one which excited more the dissatisfaction of the profession gene rally and the public. No less than 148 causes were set down for trial. Several of them were special-jury cases. One—the case of Sherborne versus Quarme— was, from the quantity of documentary evidence to be produced, nearly certain to occupy the attention of the court for two or three days. The calendar was not a light one ; and yet twelve days were all which were allowed for all this mass of litigation to be got through ! And it has not been got through, notwithstanding the summary striking out of causes in the first day—the settling (?) of cases, from the certainty of their not being properly adjudicated upon—the submissions to reference and the hasty and indecent mode in which, as in the case of Taylor versus Walmsley, verdicts have been pressed within the concluding day or two. The entire assize has been, in fact, a scramble for jus tice; and why this should be, when the long vacation is before us, and only one judge and not a barrister is required to be in London before the 2d of November, is a mystery which we cannot solve. STATE OF TRADE, MANUFACTURES, &c. Not even the lawless state of the manufacturing districts during the past week has been able to check materially the improved business which we have had recently to notice in our Cotton Market. Up to Friday last about 36,460 bales had been sold, (including 11,250 on speculation, and 2 +200 for export,) in many instances at advanced rates ; and although the active demand which had existed in the previous portion of the week was somewhat diminished towards the latter part, the market closed with a firm and healthy tone. On Saturday the business done was trifling, the sales amounting to 2 ,600 bales only, which were taken by the trade. Prices remained, however, firm. Yesterday the demand was increased, and better prices were paid than have been realized since the late arrival. The sales may be estimated at fully 4,000 bales, the whole to the trade. The accounts from the manufacturing districts —strange to say !- wive similar cheering indications ; and, notwithstand ing the confusion created by the turn -out workmen, the bu siueo done and the aPlrit displayed last week more than fulfil our previous anticipations. The holders of manufactured Cotton goods appear determined to keep back their stocks for higher prices ; in fact, it is evident that, even in the pre sent distracted state of the manufacturing districts, all doubt of an approaching beneficial trade has vanished, and that immediately upon the restoration of tranquility, a large business will be done, and ample employment afforded for the working population. O'CONNELL AND THE JESUITS. " The greatest blow ever yet inflicted upon religion was the suppression of the order of the Jesuits, and accordingly a bitter punishment has followed upon the nations that com mitted that crime. They have been punished with the seve rity of a scourge of iron, and tears of blood would hardly atone for the crime which they thus committed against them selves ; they were abandoned to themselves, I think I may without profaneness say it, by the just anger of the Deity ! But here they are again!! the Jesuits again ! I remember the time when a man would have been knocked down who ventured to call out ' Hurrah for the Jesuits!' " (The meet ing here gave three cheers for the Jesuits.)—D. O'Connell, Amphitheatre, Liverpool, 9th August, 1842. Who trained assassins in their college, for the murder of kings? The Jesuits.

SHORT SKETCHES IN CHESHIRE.—No. 11. WALLASEY Is decidedly the most primitive village to be seen in this part of the country, snd we scarcely ever remember to have seen one more so. In once passing through it with a friend, who had travelled in the East, he said it reminded him more of some of the towns in Syria than any place he had ever seen in England. It is a long scattered village, consisting chiefly of small labourer's cottages, with here and there a house above that class ; but there are very few houses of a higher order in the village, although the outskirts and neighbour hood abound with them. Wallasey Church is beautifully situated, and the prospect from it is most extensive and de lightful. Here the eccentric and erratic, but talented rector, delivers, week after week, most excellent discourses to a highly respectable and wealthy congregation, consisting mostly of the inhabitants of some miles round. Dr. Byrth is decidedly a favourite with his congregation, but whether he is much to be met with in the cottages and hovels, with which the district abounds, we know not. Few who have resided any time in the village, can forget the unremitting and untiring labours of the Rev. T. Alder, who was for 16 years the faithful curate of the parish. The Parsonage is an old fashioned house, just below the-church. The village is one continuous long street or lane, stretching from the inn, just below the church, (the host and hostess of which, by the bye, are good sound Tories of the old school,) to the sand-hills, beyond New Brighton. At the part of the village nearest New Brighton there are some few very neat cottages, which would form very pleasant summer retreats. The land about Wallasey is extremely good and prolific ; and when the contemplated bridge across the Pool is carried into effect, it will doubtless render the land still more valuable, and cause many improvements. We cannot see why there should so long have been this gulph between this part and Woodside, &c., for, if useless, surely the land might by de grees have been redeemed and the Pool filled up, and if of any use, why not increase its utility, and form it into a navigable canal, opening it at the other end into the Dee, which, we should suppose, might be accomplished at no very great expense. There is a long straight Roman road leading from Wallasey Pool to Leasowe, which used to form a fre quent excursion from Liverpool, when the castle was used as an inn, but now that it is inhabited' by Sir E. Cust, this is much discontinued, although there is stilt a very good inn, hard by. But with pedestrians we would strongly recom mend their not passing by our Tory friends at the inn below Wallasey Church, at the corner of the village, for we have seldom called without finding a snack of some sort, and ready to our hands in a few minutes. The walk across the fields from Wallasey to New Brighton is very pretty, as it is along a high ridge of land, and commands a view of the Welsh mountains, Leasowe Lighthouse, as well as the sea. Many improvements are now taking place in the neighbour hood of Wallasey. LOCAL NEWS. We understand that the treasurer of the Liverpool In firmary has received from the executors of the late Hugh Jones, Esq., a legacy of £5OO. FIRE IN PETER ' S-LANE.—About half-past one o'clock, on Sunday morning, a fire was observed by a woman to have broken out in a cooperage, in Peter's-lane. She immediately gave information to the police, and constables Nos. 213, 449, and 473 were speedily on the spot, and a timely applica tion of buckets of water succeeded in putting it out before much damage was occasioned. INSOLVENT COURT.—H. B. Reynolds, Esq. the chief Com missioner, will hold courts for the relief of insolvent debtors, at Liverpool on the 11th; 12th, and 14th of Novem ber next ; at Chester on the 15th, 16th, and 17th of the same month ; and at Lancaster, from the Ist to the 14th of December inclusive. REMARKABLE AND UNPRECEDENTED FACT : RAPID ITY OF STEAM NAVIGATION. — The British and North American royal mail steamer the Columbia, sailed from this port on the evening of the 19th ult., and arrived at Boston early on the morning of the Ist instant. The Acadia left Boston on the afternoon of the Ist, and reached tin Mersey in the afternoon of the 13th instant, bringing replies to let ters dated Liverpool, July 19. The interval between send ing the letters and receiving the replies to them was a few hours more than 24 days ! This is, we believe, the most rapid conveyance of letters between the Old and the New World ever known. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Sunday morning last, as the Rev. Mr. Blacow was proceeding in his gig to West Derby Chapel, for the purpose of his accustomed service there, the horse took fright, and ran at frightful speed from Pembroke-place along Elizabeth-street and Bedford-street ; and in the latter street Mr. Blacow was thrown out, and un fortunately his leg was broken. We understand that Mr. Blacow was yesterday going on as favourably as could be ex pected, and was not likely to receive more injury than likely to happen from such an accident to a person at his advanced age. We believe the reverend gentleman bears the calamity with his usual patience and firmness of mind. CRICKET.—A match at cricket was played on Wednesday, August 10th, between the Manchester and the Liverpool clubs, on the ground of the former, at Moss-lane, Hulme. The weather prevented the completion of the match. The following is the score : LIVERPOOL. Strti tll c. Pickford .. 7 MANCHESTER. V. Patter b. Lea Birch ... 5 E. Wright c. Morgan 36 Adamthwaite b.

A well-dressed man, who resides in Cleveland square, said that the prisoner had been in his service for two years, and that a few days days ago her mother came from the country to see her. He told the girl to give her mother some tea, and permitted her to go out with her to show her the town. She (the prisoner) took with her an umbrella belonging to complainant, *and did not bring it back, arid he gave information to the police, and had her ap prehended, for the alleged felony. The umbrella, a very paltry article, was produced. It appeared, however, that she had sent another umbrella to the house in place of it, as it was then mislaid, and, that she had no intention whatever, to steal it. She had also stated on being apprehended, where it would be found. Mr. Rushton, who had been called upon by the girl's mother on Saturday, before the latter was taken into custody, intimated this fact, stating that the application made to him by that respectable woman, disclosed conduct most disgraceful to • the complainant, and, for which he de served some punishment. The circumstances had been in quired into. The complainant has lately become a widower, and the mother of the girl having heard that he was tamper ing with her for a vile purpose, and knowing that she had no one to protect her, had come all the wsy from Cumber land, her native place, to take her away, in order to prevent her ruin. She applied to the complai nan t, who refused to consent to her going, stating that she was his servant, and engaged to remain with him. Mr. Rushton had then told the applicant that if her daughter were under an engagement she must either give a month's notice, and serve that time, or must forfeit a month's wages. Being alarmed for the girl's safety, she thought it advisable to take her away at once, and proceed home with her ; and the complainant, in consequence, brought up the unfounded charge stated. Mr. Rushton concluded some strong remarks to the coin_ plainant on his heartless conduct, by saying, "This is a most false and shameful charge of felony, against a young and un offending female, against whom you had nefarious designs. You are the worst fellow I have ever known to come into this court. Go along with you! The girl's mother did nothing more than any prudent parent would do under the circumstances. I hope she will bring an action against you. for false imprisonment. You deserve to be severely 1n- nished."—A person in court represented t hat the girl's mother, owing to her daughter being detained on the charge, had not wherewithal to take them both home by the packet, she having been put to considerable expense. Mr. Rushton, in reply, repeated his hope that legal proceedings would be instituted against the complainant, s o that (we understood him) he (the complainant) should be compelled to furnis h the means required* Frog.—Last night, at half-past ten, a fire broke out in Drury-lane, about two doors south of Brunswick-street. The premises are occupie d as a sail or ' s l o d g i ng -h ouse , an d it is supposed the tire originated through the carelessness of some of the inmates. The engines arrived in three minutes after the an nouncement of the tire, and though at one time, the flames assumed a threatning appearance, all further damage was soon dissipated, and no very material damage sustained. NARROW ESCAPE.—On Friday evening last, as two gen tlemen and a little boy, were proceeding along the road from the Zoological Gardens to Liverpool, the horse took rather too great a sweep at the angle of the road, whilst meeting another vehicle, and the wheel of the gig getting into the channel, it was overturned, and the whole party thrown violently on the grown. Fortunately, none of them were hurt, and the gig and horse were uninjured. THE CONVICT BRADLEY. —We understand that Samuel Bradley, who was convicted at the late assizes, of the murder of his wife at Manchester, by administering to her repeated doses of arsenic, and who was sentenced by Lord Denman to suffer death, is left for execution—the case being of an aggravated nature. His lordship, it will be remembered, in passing sentence, left the unhappy man no hopes of a miti gation of punishment ; and we learn that the execution will take place either on Saturday next or on that day week — but most probably on the former day. oht f h y a pAs pi o eyr u a.o r appearedrußa youthful hoe feoußrooke eAwasl r a days,. last tAnaininlui announced as nt e had at ae a dda s taos T ß Juliet, ob E m tb`Ehßu-eßto recollections ooanl andTHEATRE-ROYAL.—Mrs. t make % J o a i n u k r s l s e i up taw s h h caat o sit r n t lgvi ntev cry ccu e lon , eul u d. lee n drr d . h e trahtrmeodol Mrs. . s t j e l u i so e dueg c yre l am i . g a racter.

TRANSANTLANTIC STEAMERS.—The Acadia, which ar rived at this port on Saturday. brought intelligence of the arrival out of no less than three steamers. The Belgian steam-ship British Queen, Lieutenant Eyckholdt, which left Antwerp on the 7th, and Southampton on the 10th ult., arrived at New York on the evening on the 27th, having made the passage, in the face of strong gales, in 17 days. Th e G rea t W es tern, Lie u t enant H os ki n, sa il e d from Kingroad, Bristol, on the 16th, and reached New York on the morning of the 23th ult., after a passage of 13 days and 12 :hours. The British and North American royal mail steamer Columbia, Captain Judkins, which sailed from this port on the evening of the 19th ult., arrived at her berth, East Boston, at five o'clock on the morning of the Ist inst., after an uncommonly quick passage, including a stoppage of five hours at Halifax, of 12 days and 10 hours ! CLOSING OF THE GATES OF DERRY.—Friday last being the anniversary of the apprentice boys of Derry closing the gates against the tyrant James, the brethren of Loyal Orange Lodges No. 2 and 8 exhibited from their respective lodge rooms the beautiful banners belonging to each. The taste and execution of the flag belonging to No. 2 was universally extolled, and brightened up the countenances of many old and true loyal orangemen, who gloried in beholding the bright orange, purple and blue, once more floating in the breeze. Th brethren sat down and spent the evening in the most brotherly and joyous manner, the intervals between toasts and singing being filled up by he music of an excellent band, which struck up some of the most noble and inspiriting tunes belonging to the order. The interference of the police to prevent the banner beini , displayed was the cause of much surprise and reprobation, for after the loyal bearing of the oraneemen on a late occasion. and considering that theirs is the only society (save Bold-street club) which has stood by and supported the mayor and magistrates, it appeared to savour of a persecuting spirit to prevent orangemen in their own town and in their own lodge-room exhibiting the colours identified with loyalty and sound Protestantism. THE FUNDS, SATURDAY EVENING. Although the holders of the repudiated Exchequer-bills are much dissatis fied at their claims being deferred to the next session, still the answer of the Chancellor of the Exchequer given last night to Mr. C. Buller is, under the circumstances, thought consolatory, for, at any rate, the holders have a pledge that early next session their case will be taken inio consideration, and their prospect is in this respect more definite than it has been hitherto. At the Stock Exchange business was lan guid, and very few speculative operations were entered into. The continuance of the excitement in the manufacturing dis tricts awakens distrust in the minds of the dealers, who are not much inclined just now to extend their transactions be yond prudent limits ; hence it is on the appearance of a few sales the market weakens. Consols for money and the ac count closed 914 to 4 ; Bank Stock, 1691 to 1704 ; Exche quer-bills, 2d. issue, 495. to 51s. premium ; ditto, 24d. issue, Ms. to 535. premium ; India Stock, 2494 to 501 ; 3 per Cents.

ROBBERY FROM A SHOP.—Yesterday, at the Police-court, a tall and rather well-dressed female, named Elizabeth Beardmore, was placed before Mr. Rushton on two charges of shoplifting. It appeared that, on Saturday evening, about five o'clock, the prisoner went into the shop of Mr. John Jones, linendraper, &c., Old Haymarket, and asked to see some lawn. A young man (Bartley) shewed her some, which she said was too coarse. There was some figured silk chene on the counter near which she was standing. He turned his back to reach some finer linen, and immediately afterwards saw that she bad taken a piece of silk, which she had screwed up ; but, on his returning, she let it drop on the counter. She looked at the linen he had brought, and pur chased two yards, for which she paid 28.5 d. She then asked for a reel of cotton, and Bartley had to go for it to the other end of the shop, and he then mentioned his suspicions to Mr. Jones. The prisoner purchased two reels of cotton, and was leaving the shop, when Mr. Jones took her into the yard, and said to her that he had reason to suprine she had something belonging to him. She said, " 1 will pay you any recompense if you will let me go." Mr. Jones refused, and a police-officer was sent for, who on searching her found a piece of silk, of 321 yards, inside the lining of her dress. The article belonged to Mr. Jones, and was worth £4. There were also found upon her, when she was taken to Bridewell, three half-handkerchiefs. An assistant to Messrs. Adamson and Tapley, Old Hay market, recognised two of these as their property. The prisoner had, at their shop, paid for one half-handkerchief the same afternoon, and in doing so had, it appeared, purloined the other two, which were stated to be worth 10d. The prisoner, who seemed much distressed, said, on being cautioned, that " she hoped the court would deal with her as favourably as they could ;" and was committed for trial at the sessions. She is, we understand, the wife of a joiner, a respectable man, and both of them have recently come to this town from Staffordshire. MR. Poo ON RIOTING.—Popjoy, who never lets a joke pass him, says that he thought his countrymen a peace able set of fellows, but he is quite mistaken in them; by so many of them striking, it is clear they are pugnacious. He says that the breaches of the peace in the manufacturing districts have been plentiful enough to clothe all Scotland ; and had the blacksmiths struck for higlier wages this hot weather, he should not much have blamed them. TO DANIEL O'CONNELL. In Liverpool there is more practical bigotry than in any ten other towns in Great Britain. Their corporation, their members of parliament, &c., are bigots."—Vide his •• Jesuitical" Speech. What greater praise could men from man desire — What higher honour could men e'er require— Whate'er their rank, whate'er their duties be ? What heavier censure could on man befall— What thing more vile, more base, despis'd by all— Than to be lauded, or malign'd by thee? T. K.. MR. CATLIN'S TABLEAUX VIVANTS. During the past week, Mr. Catlin, whose Indian museum at the Mechanics Institution exhibition, was an object of the greatest attraction and attention, has been giving lectures at the Portico, on the manners and customs of the North- American Indians. These lectures are of the most novel, amusing, and instructive kind. Mr. Catlin, in an Indian dress, first describes the costume and the implements of war, offensive and defensive, of the Red Man ; and at the con clusion of his remarks exhibits tableaux, by means of living figures attired in the various dresses purchased by him during his eight years' sojourn amongst the tribes of the West. The following were exhibited, all extremely beau tiful. We admired especially Nos. 6 and 9. The concluding war-dance was very extraoextraordinary. We recommend all our readers to pay the enthusiastic and talented painter a visit, feeling satisfied they will be delighted in listening to him. WAR. TABLEAUX. No. 1. Gnour WITH ACTION.—A Group of Warriors and Braves, in full dress, reclining around a fire, regaling themselves with the pipe and a dish of pemican. In the midst of their banquet the chief enters, in full dress ; the pipe is extended to him—he smokes it in sadness, and then breaks up the party by announcing that an enemy is at hand, and they must prepare for war ! ! No. 2. TABLEAU.—Warriors Enlisting, by "smoking through the reddened stem." The Chief sends runners, or " criers," through the tribe with a pipe, the stem of which is painted red ; the crier solicits for recruits, and every young man who consents to smoke through the reddened stem when it is extended to him, is considered a volunteer to go to war. No. 3. TABLE AV.—War Dance.—The ceremony of swear ing in the, warriors, who take the most solemn oath, by dan cing up to and striking the " reddened post" with their war clubs. No. 4.

No. 12. GROUP WITH A CT ION.—Pipe or Peace Dance, by the warriors, with the pipes of peace or calumets in their hands, after the treaty has been concluded. This picturesque scene will be represented with motion, the warriors all joining in the dance, uniting their voices with the beat of the Indian drum, and sounding the frightful war-whoop The above pictures will be again represented on Wednes day and Saturday night; while this evening, Thursday, and Saturday, tableaux of a domestic character will be exhibited. Mr. Catlin leaves at the close of the week, bearing with him, we feel assured, the good wishes of all classes, to whom he has so readily communicated his knowledge and the fruits of his hard bought experience. THE DISTURBANCES. IN THE MAN UFACTURING DI S. TRICTS.—We fear that these outbreaks are only one instal ment of what may be expected from the wicked and incen diary language of the league, who have thus excited the working classes to the utmost amount of resistance to the peace and quiet of the country, in order i to gratify an inter ested and unwo rthy feeling. That this s a part of an organ ised system digested and developed by the league, we need only refer to the language of one of their paid emissaries Mr. Acland, who lately stated to Mr. Feargus O'Connor, in con fidence, " that the object of the league meeting in London, was to take into consideration the propriety of stopping all the cotton and other mills 'upon a given day." After this, our readers will not expect us to add another word as the re sult of the long-continued and wicked agitation of the Anti- Corn-Law League of Manchester. RIOTS 1N THE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. (From our own Reporters.) MANCHESTER.-MONDAY MORNING. The reports at the Town-hall up to this time represent all parts of the town as quiet. A meeting of delegates was held at Carpenters'-hall this morning, at half-past six o'clock, when a deputation of six teen of the body were appointed to confer with the masters, and to see what arrangements could be come to respecting wages, to express to them their determination not to return to work till they could have wages restored to the price of 1840, and till arrangements could be guaranteed for limiting their time of working to ten hours per day. At the same time there was a further resolution passed not to return to work till the charter had become the law of the land. Twelve delegates were also appointed at this meeting, to be sent to a meeting to be held at the Sherwood Inn, Tib-street, at ten o'clock (the hour at which we write). APPREHENSION OF TWO RINGLEADERS. We understand that since Saturday night two of the leaders in the proceedings whicn have caused such disturbance in the town, Isaac Tinker and George Seddon, have been ap prehended. Tinker appeared to have the command and marshalling of the men, and a person named George Seddon took a most ac tive part in demanding that the hands should come out—war rants were issued for the apprehension of these two individu als, and placed in the hands of Mr. Superintendent Beswick for execution. Mr. Beswick having discovered their re sidences, proceeded, about half-past one o'clock on Sun day morning, accompanied by the whole - of the first divi sion of constables, to the house of Tinker, which is situate in Silver -street, Hulme. Having surrounded the house, they succeeded in taking him into custody; and when the charge against him was stated, he did not deny the facts. They then proceeded, about three o'clock in the morning, to a house in Back Queen• street, in search of Seddon. Having surrounded this house, and knocked at the door for a considerable time, they obtained admittance, and succeeded in discovering Seddon's sleeping-room. He was not there; but Mr. Beswick, observing that the window was open, jumped through into the yard, and after getting over two small houses, found the prisoner concealed in a building con taining a great quantity of ashes. Mr. Beswick pulled him out, and the moment he was upon the ground he seized Mr. Beswick by the throat, and became very violent. The assistance of the special constables being obtained, he was secured, and brought to the Town-hall. ATTEMPT TO. STOP PRINT-WORKS IN STRANGEWAYS. Early this morning a large body of men, about one, hundred in number, were seen approaching the print-works of Messrs. Heald, Wilson, and Co., in Nightingale-street, but the police and constables being on the alert they deemed it prudent to retire by the way they had come. They were heard by several persons to avow their intention of attacking the works. There were large bodies of men assembled this morning in different parts of the town and suburbs, principally in Granby-row fields, St. George's fields, and near the Ball of Science, but they do not appear to have any definite object in view at present. The shops in the middle of the town are open, but most of those in the suburbs are closed. It is rumoured that Lord Stanley and Sir Robert Peel, as well as Lord Francis Egerton, have visited the town during the last few days, and that Sir James Graham was also ex pected to wait upon the authorities shortly. Their object is no doubt to consult as to the best means which can be adopted with a view to aiding the authorities in securing the peace more effectually. We have heard of several other leading political characters having been seen on 'Change, and amongst them Mr. Hume is mentioned. Twelve o'clock. A delegate meeting was held during the day, but nothing particular transpired. The following proclamation has been issued by the Magis trates this morning :—" Whereas the press& disturbed state of this town and district calls for the adoption of the strongest measures for the restoration of peace and order. We, the undersigned, respectively Magistrates of the County Palatine of Lancaster and the Borough of Manchester deem it our duty publicly to make known that all assemblages of persons in considerable numbers having, under presentcircumstances, a manifest tendency to endanger the public peace, and to ex cite the fears of her Majesty's peaceable subjects, are illegal, whatever may be their avowed object and wherever held, and notwithstanding they may not at the time be attended with acts of open violence. " And we hereby declare our full determination to use all the means in our power to prevent and repress, and if neces sary, forcibly to put down the same. And we further caution all well-disposed persons against joining in, or being present at, any meetings or processions of this character, as they will thereby bring themselves into peril, and incur the consequen ces of the measures which may be adopted for the preserva tion of the public peace. (Signed by thirty-three magistrites.) THE ROYAL PROCLAMATION. The following is a copy of the Royal Proclamation issued on Saturday : The following Supplement to the London Gazette of Friday last, offering a reward of Fifty Pounds for the authors, abettors, or perpetrators of the outrages in the manu facturing districts was published on Saturday night : "BY THE QUEEN.—A PROCLAMATION. " VICTORIA R.—Whereas in divers parts of Great Britain great multitudes of lawless and disorderly persons have lately assembled themselves together in a riotous and tumul tuous manner, and have, with force and violence, entered into certain mines, mills, and manufactories, and other places, and have, by threats and intimidation, prevented our good subjects therein employed from following their usual occupations and earning their livelihood : " We, therefore, being duly sensible of the mischievous consequences which must inevitably ensue, as well to the peace of the kingdom as to the lives and properties of our subjects, from such wicked and illegal practices, if they go unpunished ; and being firmly resolved to cause the laws to be put in execution for the punishment of such offenders, have thought fit, by the advice of our Privy Council, to issue this proclamation, hereby strictly commanding all justices of the peace, sheriffs, under-sheriffs, and all other ciyil officers whatsoever, within the said United Kingdom, that they do use their utmost endeavour to discover, apprehend, and bring to justice, the persons concerned in the riotous pro ceedings above-mentioned. " And as a further inducement to discover the said offen ders, we do hereby promise and declare, that any person or persons who shall discov er an d apprehend, or cause to be discovered and apprehended, the atbors, abettors, or perpe trators of any of the outrages above-mentioned, so that they, or any of them, may be duly convicted thereof, shall be entitled to the sum of fifty pounds for each and every person who shall be so convicted, and shall also receive our most gracious pardon for the said offence, in case the person making such discovery as afores a id sh all be liable to be pro secuted for the same. " Given at our court at Windsor, the 13th day of August, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and forty-two, and in the sixth year of our reign. " GOD SAVE THE QUEEN." ARRIVAL OF ADDITIONAL TROOPS. We understand that the 58th Regiment came to Manches ter yesterday per Liverpool and Manchester Railway, having arrived at Liverpool during the night from Dublin. Two additional troops of Artillery have also arrived, one from Woolwich and another from Portsmouth ; also the 2nd battalion Grenadier Guards. Monday Evening, Half-past Seven. EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL OF TILE RIOTERS. Two magistrates, D. Mande, Esq., and R. Norreys, Esq., sat at the New Bailey, at one o'clock to-day, to dispose of some of the prisoners in custody. The proceedings are still going on, and will probably last till near midnight. The result will be the committal of about forty prisoners out of forty-five who are to be brought up. The remainder will be examined to-morrow. At this moment the town is perfectly quiet. The meeting of delegates in Carpenters'-hall terminated about an hour ago. The result was a declaration, by a large majority, against going to work till they obtained the charter. It is rumoured that we are to have a grand field-day to-morrow, but what is to be done nobody knows. The turn-outs keep their own counsel pretty carefully. PRESTON. Our reporter proceeded to Preston yesterday morning, and on his arrival there he found, as stated already, the town in a state of perfect quietness. He ascertained that at five o'clock on Saturday evening the magistrates gave orders, by the distribution of hand-bills at every public-house and beer shop, that the whole should be closed at that hour. This direction was to a great extent complied with, and to it may, perhaps, be attributed the safety of the towu during the night. During the afternoon of Saturday, in addition to the force already in town, a company of the 72nd Highlanders arrived about two o'clock, and at four a further reinforcement of 150 of the 60th Rifle brigade, under the command of Major Wool ford. They were brought from Manchester by a special train, and were only one hour and four minutes on the journey : the distance is about thirty-six miles. About one o'clock on Sunday the Wigan troop of the Lancashire Yeomanry, un der the command of Lord Francis Egerton, marched into town ; and we believe it was intended that another troop of the same regiment should come in yesterday morning, but from the appearance of the town orders were despatched to say that their services were not needed. The following is the proclamation which the magistrates issued : " WHEREAS, A number of persons did yesterday illegally assembly them selves together within this borough, and did with great force and violence break open divers mill and manfactories, and turn out the persons employed therein, and commit divers acts of outrage and violence against the Queen's peace ; and whereas a still greater number of persons did this morning illegally assemble together in this borough, and did with great force and violence break into another mill, and make a great riot, tumult, and disturbance against the Queen's peace; and whereas the mayor and magistrates having proceeded with a civil and military force, to restore the public peace, the said rioters did make an attack upon them, striking and wounding divers of the police, and knocking down the chief constable, whereupon the Mayor did cause the Pro clamation, directed by the Statute, commonly called the Riot Act, to be openly read to the persons so illegally assembled, and did command all persons being assem bled, immediately to disperse them, but after such Pro clamation made, the persons then so assembled continued their violence, and overpowered the constables, and pro ceeded further to attack the military force, by whom the ma gistrates were assisted, and by throwing stones at them in front and in rear at the same moment, did attempt to over come the said military force, whereupon it became necessary for the said military force to fire upon the rioters, and the military force, by lawful command, did then and there fire upon the rioters, whereby they were dispersed and divers of them wounded. These are in the name of our Sovereign Lady the Queen, strictly to charge and command all persons to keep the Queen's Peace, as they will answer the contrary according to Law. And to declare that the Mayor and Magistrates will use every authority with which they are invested for the pre servation of the public peace. By order of the Mayor and Magistrates, RICHARD PALMER. Town Clerk." Aug. 13th, 1842. In consequence of so a large number of the 60th rifles having arrived, it was concluded that the services of the two detachments of the 72nd (the one from Blackburn and the other from Wigan) might without any fear be dispensed with, when those from the former place were marched back, and thh other by the Railway- The soldiers were kept closely within quarters, and the magistrates continued their deliberations till a late hour, being ready in case of a sudden outbreak to act with the same promptness and energy that had characterised their proceedings in the morning; Sunday passed over most quietly—the only excitement being in front of the Bull Inn, where the greater part of the Rifle men were located, and that excitement was only caused by a great number of idlers that would as easily have congregated on any other occasion. The authori ties had a conference in the evening, and arrangements were made as to the mode of action to be adopted yesterday morning, had there been any attempt to disturb the peace of the town by preventing those hands that were willing to resume their work, from so doing. The first intimation yester da y morni ng that the military were in the town, was the bugle of the. yeomanry about four o'clock, in order to have them in readiness to act a t th e time of the factories commencing (six o clock). About half-past five they were paraded in the street, as also the rifle brigade. The mayor (S. Lterrocks, Esq.) and the following magis trates—T. B. Addison, Esq., Colonel Austen, T. Lowndes, Esq., G. Jacson, Esq., J. Bairstow, Esq., and W. Taylor, Esq.—were in attendance at the Bull Inn at five o'clock. A little before six, part of the rifle brigade marched to the east end of the town, and the other division to the west, with a body of rural police and the borough police, but their services were not needed, as all the hands at all the factories (except what we shall - name below) went quietly to work as on any other day ; nor did there appear in the different neighbour hoods the least excitement, every thing wearing the ap pearance of a common working day. The exceptions we have alluded to were the spinners of the factory of Mr. Gardner, in Marsh-lane, on a dispute about wages; and the original turn-outs at Messrs. Ainsworth's. They were con gregated in front of the factory, and had a conference or two with Mr. W: Ainsworth ; but no terms were come to, the stipulation of the weavers being to turn off the manager or taker-in, who, they allege, is much to strict, and his abate ments on their work much too large. The wounded rioters in the House of Recovery were yes terday morning a little better, but two or three of them con tinue in a most' precarious and dangerous state. The man in Birk-street still continues in a dangerous state. We have mentioned above that several must have been wounded whose names we did not know—one of these, George Sowerbutts, who lived in Chandler-street, a youth about 18 years of age, a power-loom weaver at Gardner's, was shot through the lower part of the belly. He was immediately carried to his lodgings, and lingered till nine o'clock on Sunday night, when he died. He was exceedingly busy du ring the riotous proceedings of the mob, and very active in endeavouring to put out the fire under the boiler at the fac tory of Messrs. Paley. The inquest on the body of Laverhitts will be held this day (Tuesday,) at the House of Recovery, before Mr. R. Palmer, the borough coroner. The man, who so violently assaulted Captain Woodford, chief superintendent of the rural police, was apprehended on Sunday, at Leigh, near Bolton. He is an inhabitant of that place, and has made himself conspicuous by his violence. An inspector of the force was despatched to Leigh for him by the train, which left Preston at twenty minutes past two o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the prisoner will be examined before the magistrates this-day. Several parties who are in custody, will be examined at the same time. The activity and promptitude of the authorities of Preston cannot be too much praised. We are satisfied that had they not exhibited so much decision the town would have been entirely at the mercy of the mob, the consequences of which it is useless to conjecture. The town had resumed its usual appearance when our reporter left yesterday afternoon. WIGAN. We hope we may not have the painful duty to fulfil of re cording, in a second edition, any instance of lawless violence in the town of Wigan ; but we confess that we have no such expectation. About half-past twelve o'clock a large body of colliers, weavers, and others, amounting, it was stated, to between five and six thousand in number, arrived in the Wallgate, from Bolton, Leigh, Blackburn, and the adjacent places. A great number left Wigan for Bolton at an early hour in the morning ; and, it is said, the two parties met at West Houghton, where they agreed upon a system of opera tions. The party which invaded Wigan were armed with bludgeons, staves, pokers, and other weapons of a like cha racter, which they brandished in very threatening style. In the Wallgate they separated into different parties one party proceeded to Haigh Hall, the seat of the Earl of Balcarres, where they demanded and received some bread ; they then proceeded to the adjoining collieries of the noble lord, and turned out all the colliers, to the number of between 700 and 800. Lord Balcarres pays upwards of £l,OOO a week in wages alone, the want of which cannot but produce lamentable effects upon those misguided men. Another party proceeded to Whitley, the seat of Alexander Halibur ton, Esq., an extensive coal owner, whose workmen were also turned 'out, and compelled to join the rioters. They went to Whitley Hall, where they required money, drink, and meat to be given to them. Mr. Halliburton was at Preston at the time doing duty with the Wigan Troop of Yeomanry, and in his absence the Misses Haliburton were placed in a situation of considerable difficulty, if not of actual danger. Means, however, were fortu nately found to draw off the mob without any damage being done. Other parties called at the several mills and bleach-works in the town and neighbourhood, and, in short, every establishment in the plate was stopped by the hands either voluntarily going away, or being compelled to do so by threats of violence. The manager of one spinning-mill resisted for some time, but at length he was seized and com pelled to march in front of the mob to several other mills. By half-past two, the designs of the malcontents appear to have been answered. for business of all kinds was at a stand, the shops were closed, and the people were crowded together in groups along the Wallgate and the Market-place. The Rev. Mr. Bissett, one of the curates of the parish church of Wigan, attempted to remonstrate with one of these groups;' and he was very severely handled by them. The Rev. gentleman after having been violently struck, was rescued by the police. When our reporter left last night, the town was apparently quiet, but the people had not dispersed, and they,were expecting the return of the party who had left in the morning. The police force were in readiness, and a detachment of the 72d Highlanders were under arms ready to act in a moment. BOLTON. The party from Wigan compelled the different work peo people in this town to leave their employment yesterday ; but, we have not yet heard of any instance of violence. BLACKBURN. The people were at work yesterday, but it was expected they would be compelled to cease to-day. In all of those places from which we received accounts yesterday, the turn-out work people appear to have no de finite object in view; and, as to the Charter, they are per fectly indifferent to it. If there is anything which they ap prehend at all, it is a reduction of wages. CHARTIST MEETING IN LIVERPOOL. Placards were posted in different parts of the town, yester day, announcing that a meeting of the Liverpool Chartists would be held this evening (Tuesday;, in Preston -street, for the purpose of electing a delegate to represent them at the " Chartist Conference," on the 17th, 18th, and 19th instant, in Manchester. The placard concludes with the words, •' God save the People ;" btit we suspect it is on invention of the people's enemies. There is no truth in the rumor that Sir Robert Peel in tends to pay a visit to the Highlands of Scotland. The cost of the preparations at the Cathedral of Notre Dame, for the funeral of the Duke of Orleans is estimated, says the Nationel, at 150,000,. A fire took place at Lugos, in Hungary, on the 21st ult., which destroyed the town-hall. the church, and more than 300 houses. The Sheffield and Rotherham Railway Company held their general meeting in the course of the week, when a dividend was declared at the rate of 7 per cent., being 17s. 6d. on the original £25. shares, and, 7s. on the new or half shares, on which £lO. is paid up. The Inverness Courier contradicts the rumour of Sir R. Peel's contemplated visit to the Highlands, to the seat of Colonel Baillie, of Redcastle, and states that he could not possibly be absent from London for so long a time as a three days' journey would compel him to be. OLD PIGEON.—Mr. Isaac Stubbs of the Dale, near Kirk oswald, in Cumberland, has in his possession a wood-pigeon upwards of twenty-three years old. The bird, for the most part, remains in the house, and frequently has two very singular playmates—namely, the sheep-dog and cat. The docility of the bird is truly wonderful. TRADE OF Hum...—We are happy to learn that the trade of Hull is fast reviving, there being a fair demand for all the articles of trade in this port, including wood goods, rape and linseeds, bones, hemp, &c. Prices are low, but they must rise with the increased demand..... Our wool mart has closed for the season; and at the last market, on Tuesday, business was very flat, the farmers demanding higher prices, which the manufacturers would no t g i ve ; thre was not, therefore, a clearance made. For what was sold, former prices were fully maintained.—Hull Packet. ANNIVERSARY OF THE OPENING OF THE GATES. — This anniversary was celebrated on Friday with the accus tomed signals of rejoicing. A salute of cannon was fired at an early hour in the morning —flags were hoisted on the Ca thedral and at the Royal bastion, and the joy-bells sent forth their merry peels throughout the day. In the evening the Apprentice Boys assembled in their club-rooms, where they enjoyed themselves for a few hours in the utmost harmony. The whole proceedings went off in the most peaceable and orderly manner, and without the slightest interruption.— Derry Sentinel. DISSENT AND UNITARIANISM.—The London Times, in a leading article on Lady Hewley's Charity, asks—" What are the number of the sects which have existed in dissent for 150 years, without having merged in Unitarianism ?" A dissenting organ, the Eclectic Review for February, 1832, affords an answer to this question, by the admission that, out of 258 old Nonconformist Churches, no less than 235 are now Unitarian or Socinian ! A lamentable fact for the admirers of dissent. Can it he supposed that the religion of the Gos pel, which is to be preserved to the end of the world, and which has existed through thousands of years, should be perpetuated, in its purity, by a system, in which two centu ies have made such havoc ? " TICE CONSOLATIONS OF TRAVEL. " —Amongst the last batch of HB.'s caricatures is one really deserving of notice. It represents " a celebrated statesman redressing in the new world the errors of the old," the redresser of wrongs being Lord Morpeth, who, seated on the box of a New England waggon, is astonishing the natives by the skill with which he handles the ribands. The likeness of his lordship is excel lent, and the cigar and broad-brimmed straw hat evince how nicely the hope of all the Howards has amalgamated himself with the plebs of the model republic. Lord Morpeth's style of driving is faultless—better could not be seen between Piccadilly and the Bank ; certainly not from Broadway to Niagara. The subject of this sketch is founded on an anec dote told of his lordship during his present visit to the States. It must have been a great consolation to drive American hacks. The other sketches belonging to this series are indifferent, and we object to the new mode of lettering them. In a caricature plainness, not elegance, is the great desideratum. On Wednesday evening a melancholy event occurred at Beverly, which has already deprived one human being of life, and greatly endangered the lives of two more. Mr. F. C. Beauvais, chemist and druggist, Toll Gavel, his wife and a servant girl partook of a currant-berry pudding to dinner, and very soon afterwards each of them became very sick and ill. Mr. Fowler, surgeon, was called in, and from the symp toms which appeared was of opinion that they bad taken a quantity of poison. Other medical gentlemen were then sent for, and every exertion made to counteract its effects, but the poor girl only lingered until about seven o'clock, when death put and end to her sufferings. Mr. and Mrs. Beauvairs are in a very dangerous state. Mrs. Beauvais made the pudding herself from flour which she took from a bin near to which a small tub containing arsenic was placed ; and it is conjectured, that a portion of the arsenic had acci dentally been scattered into:the flour. It is said, that Mr. Beauvais had occasion to take about two pounds of Arsenic from the cask the day before the accident and it is feared a portion of it had fallen into the flour.—Hull Packet. THE LONDON AND B IR MINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY. The eighteenth half-yearly genera l meeting of the p ropr i etors in this company was held at E uston-s q u are , London, on Friday afternoon. , Mr. George C arr G lyn , the c h a i rman of the board, was i n the chair. The report stated that the gross receipts for the half-year amounted to £393,713, and the expenses £186,700, leaving a net profit of £207,031. The traffic receipts for this half-year exceeded by £5835 the amou n t which was received in the preceding six months, the total working charges for whic h were £15,163. The increase in these charges had been successively reduced from £34 16s id to £25 3s tid. In the passenger duty there was an in crease of £33S. The expenditure of the capital account for the six months was £49,575, but from this was to be de uucted £14325 for depreciation of stock. The additional ex penditure arose principally from the carrying of stock, the purchase of land, and the construction of works. Additional buildings and pas enger-sheds were now in progress of erec tion at the Euston station. Out of the £241,-,260 remaining atithe disposal of the shareholders a dividend 'of, at the rate of 5 per cent, for the half year, was calculated:payable 20th instant, clear of the income tax. The report amongst other things, announced the opening of the Manchester and Birmingham railway. After the tr an saction of some further ' on the business the report was received and adopted, and the meet ing broke up. The operative boot and shoemakers of Clonmel have solved not to. repair any foreign boots or shoes imp. under the new tariff. A few days ago sub-inspector Malone sent a policeman from Borrisoleigh to Thurles, to obtain money for a cheque for £156, to pay the constabulary force of his district. The policeman, named Jones, obtained the amount at the bank, and had it carefully tied up in a handkerchief, but he returned to the station minus—money and handkerchief—alleging he lost it or left it on the counter of a shop in Thurles, where he had occasion to call.—Nenagh Guardian. Captain Brooks, of the Mary Jane, from St. Martin's, informs us that a shock of earthquake was felt at that place on the 25th ult. No damage done. And Captain Lawson, of the Mary Caroline, from St. Bartholomew, states that the shock of an earthquake was felt at that place on the same day. A smart shock of an earthquake was felt at Grenada on the 9th ult.—New York Herald, July 10. NEW ARMS TO THE CONSTABULARY.—The constabulary of this county have been served out with very neat new per cussion carbines, and the old flint ones have been taken into store. The new ones are about an i nc h s h orter i n t h e barrel, but the bayonet is more than two inches longer than the old ones ; the carbine has a spring attached to the back of the barrel which effectually holds on the bayonet, and also a spring attached to the bayonet which secures it i n th e scabbard, and prevents its being easily drawn out except by the wearer.—Longford Journal. COACH 17. RAILWAY.—On the opening of the Manchester and Sheffield Railway, all the coaches running between Man chester, Ashton, and Stayley Bridge, were taken off the road ; but within the last ten days, however, they have again appeared, and seem to take better than ever. Whether this new opposition has been caused by a reduction of the mileage, during the present session, it is hard to say, but such is the fact; it is probable that owing to the distance from the railway to Ashton, (nearly two miles,) the old mode of travelling is preferred. The railway company will, it is thought, find this new opposition no joke. THE WEATHER AND CROPS.—We had some fine showers here on Sabbath and Monday last, and yesterday afternoon it came on to rain very heavily, which continued all night, accompanied by a great deal of lightning and distant thun der. The rain, though heavy, being unaccompanied by wind, is not likely to do injury to the standing corn, while its in fluence on the parched pastures, and on the green crops generally, must be of immense value. The harvest has been proceeding very steadily around Edinburgh during the last eight or ten days. One or two,of our farmers have already almost finished cutting, and others expect to finish by the end of this week, if the weather permit.--Edinburgh Mercury. Last week a woman called in the neighbourhood of Bally macash, with an empty bees' cap, stating she was about to get a hive of bees, and requested she would be shown how she might carry them safely. A woman, very good naturedly, took her into her garden, and told her how to lift the hive. On going out next morning she thought her bee-hive looked rather altered in its position, and on examining closer found the woman had stolen off the bees. and left her own empty hive on the stand. The lady's attention did not end there, as she actually sold her booty to a gentleman residing with in a very short distance of the house of her polite instructor. —Belfast Chronicle QUID PRO Quo.—An Englishman on landing at Calais, called for a barber. One was speedily in attendance, and the traveller thus addressed him : " My dear fellow, I am extremely sensitive in the matter of the beard ; here is a guinea if you shave me without cutting ; there is a pair of pistols ; if you cut me, I will send the contents through your brains on the instant." " Fear not," said the barber, and away he went to work with the utmost care, circumspection, and delicacy of operation. The task being completed, the enchanted Englishman observed, "You were 110 t afraid of the pistols, then." " No, my lord." " And why ?" " Be cause," replied the barber, if I had been unlucky enough to make any slip, I would have cut your throat." The public who have been in the habit of passing across Waterloo and Southwark bridges for the last few years have observed a man of the name of Austen, stand with a large cage, containing cats, owls, rats, rabbits, and a variety of other animals and birds living together in a state of perfect harmony. This curious exhibition has caused persons of all ranks and grades to stop and look at the collection, which has at length been witnessed by her Maje s ty, P r i nce Albert, and suite. In the course of last week a noble earl, connected with the royal household, saw the exhibition, and he desired Austen to bring his collection to Buckingham Palace at seven o'clock on Thursday evening. Accordingly the cage was con veyed to the palace, when it was ordered to be carried up stairs. The menagerie was, however, too large even to be got in at the door, upon which it had to be taken into one of the lower rooms of the palace, and when everything was ready, her Majesty and her Royal Consort and suite entered the room, and remained thYee-quarters of an hour, witnessing the affection, if such a term may be use d, w hi c h ex i ste d be tween animals and birds of natures so opposite. The Queen, in particular, expressed her astonishment and gratification at a sight so novel and unique. —London paper.—[The public will no doubt remember having viewed this singular col lection at the Mechanics' Institution in this town, during the recent gratifying exhibition there.] AUCRTEnARDER CASE.—In the appeal of Presbytery of Auchterarder against the judgment of the Court of Session, find the Earl of Kinnoul and Mr. Young entitled to damages for the refusual of the Presbytery to take Mr. Young on trial, the judgment of the House was delivered on Tuesday, when their Lordships unanimously affirmed the judgment of the Court of Session with costs. It has thus been finally decided, that a Presbetery refusing to take a presentee on trials, under pretence of the veto act, is liable to damages both to the patron and presentee. The lords present were, the Lord Chancellor, Lords Coltenham, Brougham and Campbell.— [On Wednesday morning there was numerous and influential meeting of the moderate and constitutional party of the Church—Principal Haldane in the chair—held in the Royal Exchange Coffee-house, Edinburgh, which a resolution was unanimously adopted, that the majorty of tha Presbytery of Strathbogie, and also the Rev. W. Mearns, missionary at Glenrinnes, should continue to be supported by them as heretofore, and that a deputation of clergy and elders should forthwith proceed to that district and asssist the ministers of the eight parishes under the pastoral charge of the majority of the Presbytery in the celebration of the approaching com munion ; it being distinctly understood, that all those who should so proceed did so with the sanction and entire approval of the meeting referred to.] INCOME TAX.—IMPORTANT.—In the House of Commons on Friday, Mr. Redhead Yorke asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he was aware that there was great irre gularity in the delivery of the Income Tax papers ; and whether the notice of twenty-one days for the return of these papers was to be calculated from the day on which they were dated, or from that on which they were delivered ? The Chancellor of the Exchequer said he was sorry there had been considerable delay in delivering the Income Tax papers ; this was not altogether attributable to the Stamp-office, but arose from the act having been passed so shortly before quarter-day. The act required the papers to be filled up within twenty-one days after the time they were dated, but if it was shown that they were not d e li vere d i n proper time, the government would have no objection to make a proper allowance of time, and afford every facility. It had also been asked, whether, if two papers were left, it was necessary to fill up both. If a gentleman resided in two places, the one being his place of business, and the other a country re sidence, in that case it would be necessary to fill up each paper, and deliver them properly, as they would be different forms. But if the same papers were left in two places, it would only be necessary to fill up one, with an intimation written on the other that a due and proper return had been made. HOSPITALITIES AT RABY CASTLE.—The Duke of Cleve land having arrived at his splendid seat, Raby Castle, Dur ham, invited the whole of his tenants to meet him at dinner, at the Castle, which they did on Tuesday week. The dinner took place in the ancient Baron's Hall, in which in former times 500 Barons are said to have dined together, and which, during the lifetime of the late Duke, was fitted up as a museum. Tables were placed along the east and west sides of the Hall, and across the north end, and about 150 of the tenantry of the noble Duke met to enjoy his hospitality. An excellent dinner was provided, consisting of the substan tial fare of Old England, " roast beef and plum pudding," venison, and other delicacies of the season. It must have been a pleasing sight to his Grace to see so respectable a body of men—many of whom had been born upon his estate. One tenant, on being introduced to his Grace, stated that be had lived under three Earls of Darli ng t on , and as the grand father of the present Duke died in 1792, he must have been upwards of 50 years a tenant. His Grace entered the room about three o'clock, accompanied by his Chaplain, the Rev. J. W. D. Merest, Vicar of Staindrop, and T. F. Scarth, Esq., his auditor. Mr. Scarth presided, and after the cloth was drawn, the usual toasts were given from the chair. His Grace's health was given and drank with en thusiasm, and the noble Duke returned thanks ; he described the duties of a landlord, and trusted that there would be no interruption of that good feeling now existing between him self and the company by whom he was surrounded. His Grace concluded by drinking the health of his tenantry. The health of the Duchess of Cleveland having been drunk, his Grace again rose and said, that if he fulfilled those duties which belonged to him as their landlord, he was sure the Duchess would do hers by attending to the interests and i promotng and the comforts of their wives and daughters. toasts drunk. Seve ral appropriate songs were afterwards sung His Grace retired about eight o'clock , sho rtl y after which the whole party broke up, highly gratified with the kindness and attention to the interests of his tenantry which had been manifested by the-noble Duke. THE COLLIERS' STRIKE.—A L ARMING APPEARANCE& IN THE MINING DISTRICTS OF SCOTLAND.—With re gret we have to announce, that the miner s of Airdrie, Coat. bridge, and vicinity, have resolved to cont inue their a larming and extensive strike ; and that the potatoe fields in this quarter are still ravaged with the most barefaced audacity. The military are still stationed at Airdrie and Coatbridgc - but their presence seems to be of little avail in restraining the starving depredators. On Monday night, a large DotAIL field near Calder, the property of Mr. Lind say, wa i. com pletely cleared of its contents ; and, on the sam e day, another field at Rasbush, not more than half a mile f rom the head quarters of the military, was severely visited. Indeed, so far as appearances go, this turn - out would see m t o b e the most athlaennweinstg that Scotland.heveras At a e e in the mining dist r i c t s i n meeting of the colliers on Saturday last, they resolved unanimously not to return to their employment until their " reasonable" demands were complied with; and at their district meeting held on Mon day, that resolution was deliberately confirmed. Large bodies of the unemployed congregate round the court-house and the inn where the military are established, and remain sitting, standing, squatting, smoking, and chatting together. The sentries at these parts have been doubled, and the general community feel themselves anything but comfortable. The colliers would seem to lie a bed the greater part of the day, and bestir themselves at night to a very bad purpose — the digging of the potatoes in their nearest vicinity. On Sunday and Monday night last, shots of guns were bead, eight and nine in succession, in the fields around Airdrier to the great alarm of the inhabitants. These were from the muskets of watchers, who had either been terrified or attaked- It is but fair to the men to state, nevertheless, that at every meeting they have held, it has been strictly enjoined on the multitude to ab s t a i n f rom a ll ac t s o f v i o lence, and to cond uc t themselves orde r ly an d p eacea bly.
