We are concerned to state, that the cotton-
weavers of Manchester, and its vieinity, are in a
state of serious commotion, in consequence of the
rejection of their Lill in• the Muse of Common).
Oa Monday lust, there being a report of their hav-
ing held a meeting at Stockport, about six miles
from Manchester, two troops of horse were dis-
patched from that town to di,perse them. On

Tuesday morning, before right o'clock, they be-
gan to assemble in great numbers, in a field
in the vicinity of Manchester, and in a very short
tams their numbers amounted to several thousands.
Several detachments of dragoons from the Bar-
racks soon appeared, cleared the ground, and took
several of them into custody. The dragoons acre
on duty the whole of the forenoon. and left a guard
M the New Bailey. Two corps of Volunteers were
also under arms, and the remainder ordered to be
Yearly at a moment's notice. Our correspondent had
net heard that any particular acts of violence had
been committed, but he understands that they came
to a determination to work no more under the price
fixed in their minimum, and passed a resolution that
no ii.ore work should be done for several houses
that were the most obnoxious to them. It was re-
ported that all all was bustle again op Tuesday at
Stockport, mid that they threatened to meet again in
ten times greater numbers at Manchester next day.

The following letter was received, yesterday, by

There are various conjectures respecting the
amount of the Loan ; but it is the general opinion
that it will not exceed 11,000,0001. The notice
occasioned no alteration in the pike of the funds.
Consols remained at 671, which will enable the
Minister to negotiate his loan ou terms highly ad-
vantageous to the public, For this' result he ap-
yzirs to be indebted to his new Annuity Plan. It
Las raised the funds, and they have now attained
the highest elevation which it appears competent to
produce. The present istherefore the favourable mo-
ment to make his loan, as it will give him the full be-
nefit of his plan. That object being attained, we shall
not he surprised if the Annuity Plan should re-
main over fur the consideration of another Session.

It appears, from an estimate laid before the House
of Commons, that the value of such part of the
I)auish stores captured at Copenhagen, as has
actually and bona:fide been received, as far as relates
to the Victualling Department, is as follows :
at Portsmouth. £2,443 14g. 4W.; at Chatham,
.el.Bll 4s. 111.1.; at Deptford, 1:15G Su.
niakiiig a total of £4,611, as. aid.—and that the
iiet amount of the value of all the naval stores
received at the Navy Office, amounted to
1't70040. 6s. (id. . .
