Tire MANCEIMA OPERATIVEB.—A II:et-till a
unemployed operatives was held in Eitevenson•square, an-
cheater, last night, to receive a report of the proceed-
ings which had taken place in the inter% is vs of the
operative deputation with the Board of (,turbans and
he Mayor of Manchester. The speakers were the
same as on the first occasion, the audience
was as numerous, notwithstanding the rain. and
the proceedings quite in keeping with the high cha-
racter which the operatives have won in their pre-
sent exigencies. It was resolved unanimously to form
cummitteel in the various district, of If uchester
to receive subscriptions, and to apply them in aid
of the existing distress. The committees, it was
explained, would be composed of gentlemen interested in
the welfare of the operatives, and moved by a desire to re-
lieve their sufferings. Another testimony to the manly man-
ner in which the great distress has bean borne is seen in
the Recorder's address in opening the Manchester city
sessions yesterday. The Recorder said it bad been observed
to him that the *distress would occasion to him an Maser
of labour, bat he rejoiced that it was not so. The average
rumbas of commitments to the sessions was lass than Le

had known it before, and the misdemeanour list was the,
lightest he bad ever known.

arriving in the Dorm on Wednesday, the boys were detected
in their hiding place. They were sent on shore by Mr.
Erridge, a Deal boatman.—kratisit Gazette.
