DISTURBANCE AT NEWTON.

The depression of the flannel trade having com-
pelled the manufacturers to confer on the subject
of making • trifling reduction in wages, the weavers
assembled several evenings last week, and theater'.
ed to pull down the manufacturers' houses. On
Saturday they became tumultuous, and broke the
windows of Mr. Williams and Mrs. Davies. The
Magistrates, with judicious promptitude, swore in
constables, and • troop of the Moirtgorneryshire
cavalry assembled at Abermule. Two ringleaders
were committed to gaol, and on Wednesday last
all was tranquil. It is said that • troop of horse
will be quartered there for a few weeks.—(Shretos.
hairy Paper.).
We are sorry to state that there has been a little
disturbance among the leavers at Newton, Moist-
gotneryshire. It appears that the manufacturers
had it in contemplation, on account of the indif-
ferent state of trade, to lower the wages of their
work-people, but loaf come to uo ileterminatioa
thereon: the letter, however, immedintely took the
alarm, and began to assemble at different timer, in
the Par k, and on Saturday last marched into the
town iu a very disorderly tuantser;'ond broke the
windows of • Mr. J. Williams and Mrs. Daviei.

pearing on Monday. the manufacturers very pro-
perly applied to the Magistrates, who immediately
swore hi a considerable number of special Con-
stables, and directed them to secure the ring.

The last has been ail important week at the Stock
Exchange, having included the settlement of the
largest account. awl the most extensive aeries of
time In-gains, perhaps ever known. Independent-
1., of the contract for a new loan, and, as it watt be-
lieved, one almost unprecedented io amount for a
iwtod of peace. a circumstance that alwa}s brings
a large portion of the public as speculators into the
market, the funds had, during its progress, from
,CV. nil other cisme. excited general avidity. and
hi-111 ant the pio-peet of almost certain gain. Until
Friday, which was settling day, it was far from
heiiig generally known that the sellers for the ac-
count had speculated too extensively. and sold
sinek to a much greater extent than they were able
to it. liver. Tlw amount of stock demanded cannot
tie tower:anted ; lint as many of the principal
I,.oakers, there being use continuation early in the
at coital, bought for time rather than fur money, and
;could necessarily claim its trawler on the day of
settlemene, it roust have been enormous. The
strength of the patty was strikingly manifested in
the quantity of stock deliveredlon Friday ; but it
..us still so inadequate to the claims upon them,
twit on Saturday morning nutters were posted up
at the Stock Exchange, demanding stock tint then
delivered, in one extent of nearly half a million in
Consols. In the course of the day, by great exer-
u large portion of this was provided fur, and
arrangements were matte, us is said, for carrying
;lie remainder forward to-morrow. The tie-
mend created for money stock by this peculiar
stair of the market was so great, that it bore •
higher price than for the August account by I .per
• cent. - The general improvement. however, in the
price of the funds was less than this demand
should of itself have produced, but their advance
e.ss checked by the large sales for the August ac-
count, made by the party endeavouring to depress
the funds, and which appear to have been trans-
ar.ed chit fly with a view to assist in the settle-
orient of their present differences. The casualties
attendant on the close of this account have been
very few ; a merchant of same reapectability early
an the week declared his inability to pay his dif-
J.!rences on his time-bargains, amounting to be.
ween 6,000/. and 9,0001. and a pervon residing, we
believe, at the west end of the tower, and foe-
tur rly of great property. is said to have left his bro-
kegs gosaerithle her a suits exceeding 90,0004. In
ae Stock Exchange some embarrassments have
taken place, but only in one instance to a very
'material extent,. and in all, we understand, they
bare proved of sad) a nature as to admit of being

from premium to par, and left off at par to
