The Stewards for next year's Races are Lord Dunwich,
Colonel Wood, and W'. 11. Sununu-, jun. Esq. The sub-
mptises are already very numerous.

[From the Marrehestrr Mercury:l
The actions brought against the different hundreds of
this county, to recover compensation for the damages sus-
tained by breaking power-looms, during the disturbances
in the month of April last, were 23 in number, two of
which—viz. one by Messrs. Walmsleys, of Oswahltwistle,
and one by Mr. Devitt Ashworth, of Newchurelt—were
not commenced in time for these Assizes, and consequently
stand over to the next. Of the remaining 21 actions, the
great majority were undefended, and verdicts were taken
by consent in the Sheriff's Court for sums fixed on by a
comparison of tho valuations mode for the claimants witb4
those made under the directions of the Magistrates. Three.
or four action's were however defended, but in each a vei:.
diet was obtained for the plaintiffs. The following ii a
summary of the diffaent amounts recovered:—

and the costs of the several actions will amount to about
3,000/. in addition. In the two actions yet to be tried, the
damages arc estimated at '253/. 9s. 6d.

A letter has been addressed to the Editor of the London
Medico! and Phypical Journal, complaining of a resolution ,
of the 113 a-d of Trustees, which provides that admission
shall he obtained to the flunterian Museum only by an
ortler from a Member of the College of Surgeons, or a
Fellow of the College of Physicians—thus excluding the
whole body of licentiates.
The extraordinary termination of the affair of the
Wakefields and Miss Turner, which we communicated in
our last, has excited, as was to be expected, an extraordi-
nary sensation throughout the country, and called forth a
general expression of sympathy with her worthy parent,
whose feelings have thus been doubly outraged ; and in no
place is this sentiment more deeply felt than in this town
and neighbourhood, where the amiable girl, who was die
object of the nefarious designs of the Wake&lds' drew
her native breath, and spent the years of her childhood,—
those years whereon
" Memory, with a vestal's chaste employ,
Unceasing feeds the lambent Name of joy."
Various rumours are afloat both as to the motives of the
dishonourable flight of the %Fake&lds, and the probable
issue of this most extraordinary affair. Those who think
favourably for them suggest that prudence dictated the
step; if so, it will, we conceive, be dear bought. It has,
however, been stated that they will escape even the pecu-
niary penalty, in consequence of Win. Wakefiild having, as
it is said, fulfilled the condition of his recognizances, by
appearing and pleading to this indictment. In the case of
an ordinary recognizance, there might he some ground for
this supposition, but, fortunately for the ends of justice,
though unfottunatcly for the young spark's sureties, the
recognizance in this case was special. Our readers will re-
collect that it was taken in the Court of King's Bench ;
some peculiarities were observed upon in the arguments of
counsel, but it has this additional distinction, that the de-
fendant is bound not only to appear anti answer, but " to
attend the Court from tray to day, and not depart thence
without leave," a condition winch has certainly not been
complied with.—Blarkburn
The George the Fourth steam-packet, belonging to the
General Steam Navigation Company, which left Deptford,
for Lisbon and Gibraltar, on Monday, at two o'clock, ar-
rived in our roads on Tuesday night about eleven, and
sailed again yesterday, after taking on board Colonel St.
Clair and family, who go out in her to Gibraltar. She
came in very close to the Chain Pier, and excited much at-
tention. She is a very fine and commodious vessel of 720
tons, and carries four 12-pound carronades, besides small
arms. She has on board duplicates of every article belong-
ing to her machinery that can be at all deranged, and
carries coals for the whole voyage out and home, and tanks
to be filled with the same weight of water as the coals she
consumes, thus keeping her always in trim. It is expected
she will reach 011araltar in about a week, and establish a
certain and rapid monthly communication between London,
Lisbon, and Gibraltar. Mr. W. J. Joiliffe, one of the
managing Directors, is gone in the George the Fourth, to
make the necessary arrangements at Lisbon and Gibraltar
for this undertaking.—Brighton Gavffe.

The long-disputed title to the Oatlands property is at
length confirmed, and the purchase-money, which had
from the first been invested in Exchequer Bills by Mr. H.
Ball, will be paid forthwith to the various mortgagees, who
had. in fact, advanced to a Royal Personage more than the
value of this splendid estate. The delay which has taken
place,in consequence of the doubts entertained by certain
legal gentlemen as to lb. validity of the title, has occa-
sioned considerable pain and anxiety to an exalted indivi-
dual—Morning Chronicle.
In this town the Warehouses are beginning to resume an
active appearance, and we rejoice to hear the sound of the
shuttle more frequently in our walks in those parts of the
town where the weavers dwell ; and also to observe greater
numbers with packs on their backs, hastening into the
comfit), ; a sure iudicstion of their having procured work.
Nevertheless, the prices are ruinously low, and insufficient
to procure for the weaver even the necessaries of life,
much less clothing, which is now becoming every day
more necessary ; and we learn, ere winter sets in, some
means will be adopted to provide clothing for the poor.
Notwithstanding the favourable circumstances we have
alluded ,to, with respect to the warehouses and weavers,
the shopkeepers almost unanimously declare that the last
week has been the dullest they have yet experienced, a cir-
cumstance we arc certainly unable to account for.—Block-
