such weight that the eyes of Europa ought to ba fixed
upon a cenjumture which may lead to a tiv.v order of
affors in its political anti commercial relations.
The united efferts of the principal Europ:an Powers
have already annihilated that disastrous system which
gave birth to the American Revolution, but it still re-
mains them to pot down this system in America
itself. where its cruets arc of the most serious nature.

Tuesday a deputation of eereral t,eentlemen from the
Corporation et the City tr: Lentheit proceeded to Kew,
where they waited cn ameral Taylor, for the purpose
of offering the City State Ilarge to convey her Majesty
to Windsor, they having underetoott from the public
papers that her Majesty expressed a wish to be conveteed
thither by water. On Thursday an answer was received
at Gana:ill from General Taylor, conveying her Ma-
jesty's most gracious thanks for the offer, and informing
them, at the same time, that her Majesty had never
expressed such an intention.

Wednesday a Court of Ilireetnie was held at the Fast
India House, when the ships William Pitt, Lord Cas-
tlereagh, and Streatham, were taken up for one voyage
in the Crepaey's eervice.
The i4usta raees commenced on Tucaday ; hut, rO-
thongh the sports were encellent, the course was tat
thinly ::trended ; there was not that equipage which
formerly griutod the Runnymeade ; and certainly fewer
people from London were never seen.
Accounts trma Stockpert state, that on Tuesday last
the town was in a state (if tranquillity. Hundreds of
the spinners had returned to their work, and seem very
sorry tier what has happened. There are many who
still refuse employment ; bit as the most refractory itf
them have been taken up and committed to prison, it
is expecied the rest will soon resume their former em-
ployment. At Manchester, however, although some
journeymen have reel:tied to work, particularly at the
mills of a Mr. Grey, yet the workmen come in hat
slowly.
The expected meeting of Colliers was held in the
neighbeurhood of Manchester on Monday. The work-
men at some of the Collieries have struck, bee this
measure is by no means general, so that no impediment
will be felt by the mills worked by steam. wltich was
intentled by the authors of this meeting. OM the same
day the notorious liaguley attempted to convert a
meeting of weavers ut Stockport into a meeting t f
Ueforwees, but was hustled by the populace. The
Weavers confined themselves to their object, and re-
solved to strike next week, unless an atl.vance of SS per
cent. is made in their ivegee.
