desisted. The sheriff, we understand, made application for a military f orce , an d i n consequence h a lf a troop o f t h e En niskillen Dragoons proceeded across the Frith on Wednesday morning ; and as a report was spread that the mob intended to force the jail, to rescue several of the rioters who were confined there, they were drawn up to protect it. A heavy shower falling in the afternoon served to clear the streets. There was also a meeting of the weavers in the Abbey Pend, to draw up resolutions, in the afternoon ; but we have not heard the results. We understand that matters have to some extent been adjusted between the masters and the workmen ; but consi derable alarm was manifested on 'Wednesday evening by the arrival of a large body of colliers from the eastward. The presence of the troops preserved order. In the course of the day there was a meeting of operatives in Dunfermline, when certain resolutions were agreed to, and a deputation appointed to wait upon the masters. A negociation followed, which resulted in a compromise of the points in dispute. About midnight more troops arrived from Stirling ; and on Friday, parties of dragoons marched to some of the collieries in the vicinity, to aid the civil powers in searching for property carried off from the warehouse entered 0:1 Monday, as well as to secure the apprehension of the more active depredators. NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS. We shall feel honoured by receiving such " excerpta " as S. K. alludes to. No. Colonel Thompson is not related to George Thompson, except that they are brothers in radical iniquity. Quaker Sturge having declared that he would leave Notting ham upon the first breach of the peace, and yet heartily shaki ng h an d s an d congratulating the leaders in it, would cause us to think the best definition of Quaker to be Jesuit. We quite agree with " R. T." that the arrangements for the convenience of steam-boat passengers at the Pier-head are far from complete : we should be glad to be the medium of communicating any practical suggestions for their im provement. «A. H." —We believe the post-office is entitled to charge for the newspaper, under the circumstances ; but our cor respondent can obtain it by applying at the post-office at Edge-hill, without any payment. Ebt 9Liberpool &tanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 16, 1842. By exclusive reports, which will be found elsewhere, brought down to the latest hour at which we could receive them in time for our first edition, it will be seen that in Manchester and other of the disturbed localities the aspect of affairs wore last night a more tranquil surface. We are, however, far from being assured that permanent tranquillity is restored. From all that we can gather, further " manifestations" in favou r of the Charter are in contemplation ; and every effort will be made to swell the numbers assisting at these manifestations, by prolonging—if necessary by forcible measures—the turn-out of the factory opera tives. The large body of troops now concentrated in the manufacturing districts, it is to be hoped will r ender any such efforts on the part of the disaffected unavailing. If directed with firmness and decision, the force now at the disposal of the magistracy, aided by the resistance to be anticipated from the well disposed workmen themselves, ought to be amply suffi cient to prevent every movement by which property and life throughout the district can possibly be endan gered. Whether this-.will be so or not, the events of this day may possibly determine. The recurrence of the anniversary of the Peterloo lints at this unfortunate juncture—the 16th of August (this very day) —may not improbably be seized upon as an opportunity for some senseless and dangerous display in Manchester. On this day, we understand it is purposed to open for the first time to his admirers a statue of that incendiary ruffian, the late Henry U unt,—erected by-the Anti-Corn-Law Leaguers, as a Sop to the Chartist party, in the chapel of a dissenting agitator, the Rev. J. Schofield. As a matter of course, no gathering of the kind can, or ought to be, tolerated hY the authorities ; and upon this quarrel we much fear that a collision between the disaffected and the military may arise, the issue of which is in every re spect too dreadful to be contemplated without a shud der. We shall have our reporters present upon the spot throughout the day; and should any untoward events occur, such as we fear, our readers may depend upon receiving the fullest particulars in a second edi tion. The anxiety of the organs of the League party to represent the disturbances going on in the manufac turing districts as A CHARTIST MOVEMENT, cannot have escaped observation. From the first notice of these disturbances, contained in the 3lanchester Guardian, that astute journalist has endeavoured to Convert what is, in fact, a question of wages, into one of politics —to throw upon the shoulders of Chartist agitators the odium which, of right, belongs to the agitation and the acts of the League millocracy. The hint thus given by the local organ of that body has, of course, been accepted and acted upon by his fellow labourers throughout the country; and could we in dulge these trusty agents with the privilege of colour ing the events, which are now passing, after their own Whimsical inclination, the pretended loyalty, the love of peace, the purity and the disinterested humanity (.9 Of this pestilent faction would soon stand out, unstained and unspotted, before the world. We cannot, however, be so indulgent. Willing as the League may be " to start, Even at the sound itself has made ;" Wi lling as its cowardly agitators may be to shrink f rom the consequences of their own desperate and incendiary conduct; they must not, and they shall not. be permitted to do so at the expense of truth and Justice. Well as these men have earned the contempt a nd indignation of the right minded amongst the e°un tnunity—steeped as they are in infamy to the very li Ps--they shall endure that contempt, and drain the Cup of their infamy to the dregs. It is their hands, and theirs alone, which has plunged thousands_ ilundreds of thousands—of the poorest, the most uPPressed, the most wretched of their fellow-creatures, into outrage and suffering; it is their hand which has m ade the streets of our manufacturing towns to run w ith blood; and it is upon their heads, and theirs (21 " e, if justice could be done, that the punishment S hould fall. And, whether this consummation be or b e not achieved—whether the arm of the law reach the Chief offenders, or only strike at their wretched dupes fllO on their heads must rest, in th e j u d gmen t o f th e i r c how -count r y men , the moral guilt of all the crimes wh ich an infuriated population may be driven, by th e i r sufferings and their madness, to commit. Does any man suppose that the present outbreak has come with a sudden shock upon the League Par tY? No ! W e asser t di s ti nc tl y th a t it h as no t. I t ha s been prayed for months ago. It would have occurred mo n th s ago , if the working people could have bee n stung to take the first step. THEN it would have ser ved the League party. THEN it would have fur nished its agitators, in parliament and out of it, with a fertile theme to dilate upon. THEN we should have had it proclaimed throughout the land, that " the People wer e i n i nsurrec ti on t o put d own th e corn -l aw ." hne event, whose possible occurrence was gloated over " ministers of all denominations," and League '' o Uters of every grade, w ou ld h ave arr i ve d. W e should have realised that consummationa civil t nu nnotion—which the peace-lovin g Quaker of Bol °l assured the Home Secret ar y wou ld b e go t v 1 r ough " without the loss of any of the really alual)le int eres t s of society"—with out t h e l oss o f any thing more valuable than the monarchy, the constitution, d the established religion of the land! But the Iv°r king classes would not move to advance the in wi.innls views of the Anti-Corn-law League. Th e y ti °tl ld not rush to an insurrection to gratify even d . d e ulost liberal and amiable philanthropists. They "t move until goaded- 7 -purposely goaded_ a reduction of their wages—an uncalled-for and / ;" t ° 4 redu c ti on —t o a point at which they could barel y sav e th emse lves from s tarvation! wh,"Pnsek, this step was taken by the League party, i n all oth ers h a d f a il e d, to drive the working classes to t re nzY. The outbreak, which has put a stop to the ra . d o f a vast district—which has filled it with blood the th e d A rapine —was one meditated and provoked by an 4-inr , ty. -° ll l-Law League! It was a turnout against " J u stifiable re d uct i on o f wa ges; and if it has re suited dins far, as a ll suc h moveme nts within our re- Collection hav e resu l ted, in the m i x i ng u p of the origi nalquestion With th e quest i on o f po litics, that circum stance does not, and never can, absolve from blame the Party to _ a cLar no pr ovo k e d i t. If, even now, i t h as b e come " tist movement, (which we deny,) then it is a 6..14.r.t1t movement which h as b een wicked l y b roug ht on .Y the acts of the Leasue-men. Ptilo We defy these unscru uB ✓ and mendacious 6uiti people—see defy even the je eal Guardian —to • wri 1 e out of thi s dilemma. l~liey hav e set t h e stone a-rolli wriggl e th e established institutions of ng ; and if it if it overwhelm the land— crush themselves in its resistless career,—upon their heads still be the onus—upon their heads the infamy of all the ruin it may work ! 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 absurtlities ! 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 he 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 1: 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 specialjury 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 bad 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 !—give similar cheering indications; and, notwithstand ing the confusion created by the turn-out workmen, the bu siness done and the spirit displayed last week wore 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 fcr the Jesuits!' " (The meet ing here gave three cheers for the J esuits.)—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 villae is one continuous long street or lane, stretchi ng f rom th e ` 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 it's 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 along 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 still 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 Comm—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 OP 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 the 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 ont, 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. Smith c. Pickford.. .. MANCHESTER. .... 7 E. Wright c. Morgan .... 36 Adamthwaite b. Morgan.. 24 T. H.

FALSE IMPRISONMENT.-At the police-court yesterday, a pretty girl of small stature, respectably dressed, named Nancy Anderson, was placed at the bar on a charge of stealing an umbrella. 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, and 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. 'rho 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 n.) one to protect her, had come all the wsy from Cumber land, her native place, to take her away, in o r d e r to prevent her ruin. She a pplied to the co mp l a i 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 com plainant on his heartless conduct, by saying, "This is a mo st 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 pa-- nished."—A person in court represented that 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, so that (we understood him) he (the complainant) should be compelled to furnish the moans required. Frrin.—Last night, at half-past ten, a fire broke out in Drury-lane, about two doors south of Brunswick -street. The premises are occupied as a sailor's lodging-house, and it is supposed the fire originated through the carelessness of some-of the inmates. The engines arrived in three minutes after the announcement 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. NAanow 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. Tun CoNvlcr BRADLEr.—We understand that Samuel Biadley, 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. To EATRE-ltoyAL.—Mrs. Seymour appeared last night, as Juliet, in " Romeo and Juliet." Mr. Brooke was announced as Romeo, but did not make his appearance. Mr. Mude had to rub up the recollections of his youthful days, - and, at a short notice, undertook the character. Of Mrs. Seymour's acting we could hardly judge, from the little we saw of it ; that little, under the discouragement of a very shy house, was very clever. Mrs. Seymour has a beautiful face, is very graceful, has a sweet voice, and is destined to become a great favOurite.—Nliss Gardner, we understand, has had a liberal offer from Covent-garden, but, we believe, does not accept it. 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. The Great Western, Lieutenant Hoskin, sailed from Kingroad, Bristol, on the 16th, and reached New York on the morning of the 28th 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 iii the breeze. The brethren sat down and spent the evening in the most brotherly and joyous manner, the intervals between toasts and singing being filled up by the music of an excellent band, which struck up someof the most noble and inspiriting tunes belonging to the order. The interference of the police ; to prevent the banner being displayed was the cause of much 1 surprise and reprobation, for after the loyal bearing of the orarmernen on a late occasion. and considering that theirs is the only s - op societysupported the(savemayor and magistrates,el b)which has appeared soo to d by and 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 an d the ac count closed 911 to Bank Stock, 1691 to 1701 ; Exche quer-bills, 2d. issue, 495. to 51s. premium ; ditto, 24d. issue, 51s. to 535. premium ; India Stoek, 2491 to 501; 3 per Cents.

The foreign stock market remains much in the same state as lasted noticed. Spanish Actives finally closed 20i to A; ditto, New, 19k to 20; Por tuguese 5 per Cents., 331 to k ; ditto, 3 per Cents., 19/ to 20 ; Mexican 5 per Cents., 35 to 1 ; ditto, deferred, 91 to I ; Dutch, 26 per Cents., 51k to 52; ditto, 5 per Cents., 1011 to 102 ; Colombian, 201 to 21 ; Braxilian, 65 to 66 ; and Bel gian, 101/ to 1031. 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 liner linen, and immediately afterwards saw that she had 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 bad to go for it to the other end of the shop, and be 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 sup nose she had something belonging to him. She said, " I 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 324 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 Haymarket, 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 " sbe 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. POPJOY 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 siriking, 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 higher 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 extraordinary. 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. GROUP 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. TmiLE - Au.—warriors Enlisting, by "smoking through the reddened stern." 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. 'fAur.r, AU.—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.

This picturesque scene will be represented with motion, the warriors all joining in the d ance , un iti ng th e ir voices with the beat of the Indian drum, and sounding the frightful scar-whoop The above pictures will be again represented on Wednes dayand 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 MANUFACTURING Ms- TnicTs.--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 to gratify an inter ested and unworthy feeling. That this is a part of an organ ised system digested and developed by the league, we need only refer to th 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 IN THE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS (From our own Reporters.) MANCHESTER.-MOND AY MORNING. The reports at the Town-hall up to this time represent all parts of the town a quiet. _ A meeting of delegates was held at Carpenters'-ball 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 Hall 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 9- 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 present 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 present circumstances, 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 magistrates.) 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 ou 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 civil 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 discover and apprehend, or cause to be discovered and apprehended, the athors, 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 aforesaid shall 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 THE RIOTERS. Two magistrates, D. Maude, 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. It this moment the town is perfectly quiet. The meeting of delegates in Carpenters'-ball 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 Rite 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 : " A S, WEIERE 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 elamationi 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 lawfnl command, did then and there fire upon the rioters, whereby they were dispersed and divers of them wounded. These arc 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. Aug. 13th, 1842. Town Clerk." 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 ; S un d ay passed over most quietly—the only excitement bein h , * 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 yesterday morning 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 at the time of the factories commencing (six o'clock). About half-past five they were paraded in the street, as also the rifle brigade. A fire took place at Lugos, in Hungary, on the 21st ult., which destr oye d t h e t o wn -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 ofd per cent., being 17s. 6d. on the original ,C 25. sha . res, and, is. on th e new or half shares, on which £lO. is igud"P'.

OLD PIGEON.--11r. Isaac Stubbs of the Dale, near Kirk oswaid, in Cumberland, has in his possession a wood-pigeon u pwards of twenty-three years old. The bird, for the most 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. 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 foi 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. NEW ARMS TO THE CONSTABULARY.--ThC constabulary of this county have been served out with very neat new pe r .. cussion carbines, and the old flint ones have been taken into store. The new ones are about an inch shorter in the 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 in the scabbard, and prevents its bein g easil y drawn out except by. twenty-one days Income the wearer.—Lonyford Journal. INCOME TAX.—IMPORTANT.—IR the House of C for t T h a e x return of these on Friday, Mr. Redhead Yorke asked the Chancellor of Commons Exchequer whether be was aware that there was great irre gularity r the papers was to be calculated from the da dated, or from that on which they vvye on which they were. Chancellor of the Exchequer said he I7e thc notice de delivery ery of re delivered ? The , been considerable delay in delivering was sorry there had. this was not altogether attributable the Income Tax papers ;, arose from the act having h to the Stamp-office, but quarter-day. The act been passed so shortly before within twenty-one days ,required the- papers to be filled up if it was shown that, they after the time they were dated, but the government would were not delivered in proper time, allowance of time, and h ave no objection to make a proper been asked, whether • if afford every facility. It had also , two papers were left, it was necessary to fill up both. I f one being his a gentleman resided in two places, the in place of busi n e ss , and the other a country re sidence,that case it would be necessary to fill up each paper, and deliver forms. Butif them properly, as they would be different the same papers were left in two places, it would only b e necessary to fill up one, with an intimation written on the oti lei • t h at a due and proper return had been made. The mayor (S. Horrocks, Esq.) and the following magie 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, G eorge Sowerbutts, who lived in Chandler-street, a youth about 18 years of age, a power-loom • weaver at Gardner:a, was shot through the lower part of the belly. He was immediately carried - te—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 bad 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 in% aded 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 place 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. FOURTH EDITION• Standard-office Half-past Three o.'clock. LATEST PARTICULARS, FROM OUR OWN REPORTER. MANCHESTER. The town has been perfectly quiet during the whole of the forenoon, and the only circumstance to be noticed is the large numbers of idle persons walking the streets, apparently without an object or a feeling. The factories are, with few exceptions, standing, and no terms have been come to, or are in progress, between the hands and their masters. The impression of many influential parties whom we have met, is, that the neck of the " insurrection," or whatever else we may call it, is broken, and that, were the men allowed quietly to resume their work, nothing more of a serious nature would occur. The proposed processsion, in memory of the Peterloo affair, is apparently abandoned. We learn, how ever, that a tea party and ball (!) will be held this evening, at which the notorious Fergus O'Connor will address his Chartist dupes, to what effect and in what strain we know not. The military strength of the town was yesterday 2210 men, besides two howitzers, and four 6-pounders. Of the former, there are of the Royal Artillery, 70 men ; Foot Artillery, 40 ; 3d battalion of Grenadiers, about 500 ; 58th Infantry, 600 ; 60th Rifle Corp, 600 ; and Ist Royal Dragoons and Lancers, 300. This, however, has. been diminished by the draft for service, for Warrington, and other places. A large detach ment of Rifles is stationed in the warehouses at the terminus of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, to lie in readi ness in case of disturbance at Hyde, Mottram, &c., or in case of the railway being threatened to be interrupted. At the meeting of delegates held yesterday, it was an nounced by the chairman that meetings were to be held by the Dissenting Ministers and the shopkeepers in aid of the turn outs. One of the speakers—Mr. Duffy—proposed that they should proceed to stop the supplies. He had taken that hint, he said, from the Anti-Corn-Law-Leaguers. RIOT AT BLACKBURN. THE MILITARY ORDERED TO FIRE. TWO MEN SHOT. (From a Second Edition of the Manchester Times, published this Morning.) We have just been favoured with the sight of two letters from Blackburn, from which we glean the following particu lars : The first letter is dated last evening, and states there had been a general turning-out of hands there during the day. On coming before Messrs. Livesey and Hodgetts' mill a stout defence was made, and the crowd was beaten back by the military, consisting of two companies of the 72d Highlanders. In the affray Mr. Livesey, jun. was struck in the eye with a stone, and received a severe laceration. Soon afterwards the turn-outs returned in great numbers, and Mr. Livesey thought it prudent to lock up the mill. The constabulary present, aided by the military, proceeded to arrest some of the leaders in the attack, and a number of the prisoners were sent off to gaol under a strong escort of the soldiers. Some stones were thrown at the military, when the officer in command remonstrated, and cautioned the multitude to abstain from acts of violence or the autho rities would be compelled to retort violence in self-defence. The caution was unhappily unheeded: a great many in the crowd hurled stones at the soldiers, and ultimately the position of the military was one of such peril that the officer deemed it necessary to give the command to fire. The dis charge took effect, and the letter states that two persons fell dead on the spot, one being shot through the body. Several persons were also taken away wounded, but the entire num ber shot was not then known. The people instantly dis persed, and the soldiers succeeded in carrying off their prisoners. _ _ _ The second letter, which is dated this morning (Tuesday), states that, notwithstanding the melancholy affair of last night, the turn-outs had again assembled in great force, and had attempted to turn Mr. Forrest's hands out. They were met, however, by the military, and prevented, without any resort to violent measures. BOLTON. Eleven prisoners have just been brought to the New Bailey oni Bolton, who had been engaged in turning out factories. The out-districts, Hyde, Mottram, Ashton, &c., are all quiet, and it is not anticipated th a t an y more movement s will occur, unless attempts be ma d e t o commence working. GLASGOW. All was quit in Glasgow up to Sunday evening. On Fri day there had been a disturbance at R. Walker and Co.'s power.loom factory. On Saturday three of the parties con cerned in the disturb ance were brought before the sitting magistrate in Calton, and sentenced each to thirty days' im prisonment. The di s p u t e h a s now been satisfactorily settled, and the workers have returned to their employme n t. T he colliers and miner s i n th e Airdrie district still continue out. THIRD EDITION. Standard-office, Three o'clock. LATER FROM WIGAN. Since our last edition we have received a further com munication from our Correspondent, which we regret to say is not of a favourable character. It appears that in the course of the night *the same mob which invaded the town yesterday morning returned in small numbers, and about nine o'clock they concentrated in the Market -place. Appearances being threatening, the authorities called out the two companies of Highlanders, who drove out the mob at the point of the bayonet. They proceeded on the Chorley road, followed by the military for a short distance, to prevent them from returning. The military then proceeded to their quarters ; and in the meantime the rioters visited all the mills in their way, and put out the fires from under the boil ers of those which were preparing for work. They passed several corn mills, and these they insisted upon continuing at work. When our account left, they were on their way to the extensive paper manufactory of Mr. T. B. Crompton, near Farnworth, where, doubtless, they would insist on the hands discontinuing their operations. When the last train left Wigan for Liverpool the bells of the parish church were ringing an alarm. It was said that the mob had returned, and were committing violence upon the property of some of the shopkeepers. CHARTIST MEETING, THIS DAY. Shortly after ]2 o'clock, a public meeting of the Chartists and their friends was held (in pursuance of previous notice by placard) in the Chartist Association Room, bottom of Pres ton-street, Whitechapel, for the purpose of electing a repre sentative of the body in Liverpool to represent their interests at the Chartist Conference to be held, at Manchester, to morrow and the two following days. A considerable crowd was collected in the immediate locality of the room, con sisting chiefly of working men, and others—most of them collected from mere curiosity. No disposition to promote disturbance was shown, and the whole proceedings went off in a peaceable manner. A good-looking young seaman, named (as we learn) Fyles, was called to the chair, and opened the proceedings in an address advocating, in a general tone, the principles of Chartism, and evincing con siderable oratorical ability in the speaker, but an absence of education. Four or five other speakers followed, and in cluding M'Knight, Jones, and others whose names we could not precisely ascertain. It was proposed that Mr. Barnard M`Carthy (now in Manchester) should be the delegate to the Conference from this town, and the motion was unani mously carried. Another resolution followed, to the effect that the existing riots in the manufacturing and other dis tricts were not caused or promoted by the Chartists, but by the cotton-masters, gold-masters. and other capitalists, who had most unwarrantably reduced the wages of their work people to the starvation point ; and the same reso lution concluded with a declaration that, in the opinion of the meeting, the well-being and happiness of the working classes could alone be attained by obtaining " The People's Charter." The speakers generally advocated the latter clause of the resolution, contending that all the misery and destitution felt by the labourers, who were the real pro ducers of wealth, were occasioned by class legislation of the middle classes and the aristocracy, who enriched themselves while they starved those under them. They all, too, spoke against any resort to physical force; expressed their convic tion that their principles were fast gaining ground in every direction, and that by union, perseverance, and additional numbers to their ranks, they would ere long be enabled to collect such a stream of public opinion in behalf of their cause, as would, without bloodshed, dislodge from their positions their oppressors, whether Whig, tory, or radical, and enable the people to take their own government into their own hands. They also reprehended, in strong language, the inte rested and hypocritical conduct of the Anti-Corn-Law League men; who, with all their pretended sympathy for the suffering labourers, were the first to show their sincerity by cutting down their wages, already reduced to a miserable pittance. Strong opinions were also expressed, that the country had ample resources to produce abundance for ten times its present population, were it not crushed by bad go vernment, and were these resources fully drawn out. Ap peals were made to the working men who had not yet joined their ranks to enrol their names, and assist the cause by their subscriptions. A vote of thanks was finally passed to th e chairman, and the meeting, which was on the whole of a good-humoured character, gave three cheers, and quietly dispersed. _ Mr. Whitty, the head-constable, and several inspectors, were in attendance at the end of a neighbouring street ; but their services, for the suppression of disturbance, were not called into requisition. The room (which is pretty large) was not, at the com mencement of the proceedings, entirely filled, but soon afterwards became much crowded, chiefly with working men, and the heat was very great. The streets below were also full of people, many of whom, who were disposed to be pre sent, could not obtain admittance. LIVERPOOL. CORN EXCHANGE;-THIS DAY. (From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.) The arrivals of Foreign Wheat, though hitherto less abun dant than those of last week, are still rather liberal ; and of Flour from Canada we have again to note a fair supply, with a few further parcels of Pease and Oatmeal thence, and 2112 quarters Egyptian Beans ; but except 2313 barrels Flour, no produce from the United States, and little either Coastwise or from Ireland .since this day se'nnight. Favoured 'by a continuance of admirably fine weather, harvest in this circle of the country is now general; and pro gressing more rapidly than we have known it for many years, there is every prospect, unless interrupted by a sudden change, of much corn being saved in excellent condition during the present week; these considerations, combined with similar accounts from all parts of the kingdom, and the disturbed state of the manufacturing districts excluding our usual intercourse with those markets, prohibit any extensive business for the moment ; otherwise, the comparatively low rates at which we have now arrived, are certainly well calcu lated to promote a much improved demand for consumption. The display of Foreign Wheat and Flour this morning has been increased by the large amount of duties paid, and the determination of importers to clear the stocks out of bond before Friday next ; which, and the causes previously stated, deterring the buyers from purchasing more than is needful to serve their immediate wants, both these articles have met a very limited demand; the former receding in value rather below the rates of this day week, and reducing that of the latter ls. per barrel. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, continuing to excite little or no attention, the prices of each are very irregular and scarcely ascertainable. A small parcel of Irish new Oats in to-day, realised 3s. Id. per 45 lbs ; but in old, little or no business was apparent, and such may be noted ld. per bushel cheaper Irish Oatmeal, however, was in moderate request at a de cline of ls. per 2401b5., and a lot of Canadian was disposed of at 205., including barrels.

Considering the lawless state of the manufacturing dis tricts, with the entire stoppage of machinery, we have again to report a favourable aspect of our market with reference both to demand and price. Fully 3,000 bales have been sold to the trade, and some inquiry has been made by exporters and speculators, but to what extent they have . operated. Extreme prices are readily paid, and the market is by no means well supplied.
