We are extremely concerned to state, that the.
unfortunate disputes Mitch. have for some time sub.-
sisted here, between the mannfaaurers and their
weavers, are not yet finally • settled.-: Although
great numbers of the workmen have resumed their
peaceable pursuits of industry, a spirit of disorder
has in several instances, during the present .week,.
been manifested.. Some looms, we are told, were
stopped on Monday evening, in New ToWn, .by'
straggling parties of refra&ory persons, who threat-
ened the unfortunate men they found employed, '
with dreadMl punishment, if they persisted in work-
ing. On Tuesday a numerous body of misguided,
and infatuated people met. on Cheadle Moss, near
Stockport; but, on the arrival of a troop of cavalry,
they were dispersed, and several taken into custody.
—lt is generally believed, and' we are of the same •
opinion, that disatfeeled individuals have instigated
and continue to encourage these ,riotous assemblies
by every sinister endeavour, and that the •poor in-
dustrious weavers are made tire dupes of their aril.
lice. . •

On Thursday morning £4 prisoners were sent off:
from Stockport for Chester Castle; in 'a long-bodied.
coach, guarded by a detachment of dragoons, and.
accompanied by Mr. Knowles, Deputy Constable of
Stockport. •
Yesterday morning eight prisoners were sent off
from the New Bailey Prison 'to Lancaster Castle ;
six of whom are committed on charges of ribting,
and robbing Mr. Ashton, of Heap. •
On Monday week, in consequence' of hand-bills
circulated on the preceding day, great numbers of
cotton Weavers assembled in Hurrocks,tord pastures,
near Cliihero ;
,but by the timely presence of . the
In- baiiiifand some other Gentlemen, they were in-
dueed to disperse, TheSe deluded people, how-
ever, again- assembled-shortly afterwards, •but; on
the appearance of a troop of, the Craven Volunteer
Cavalry, they hastily dispersed. Two men were
taken into custody, andiconducted to Clithero

EXTRACT FROM A NOTHER LL 1 rEtt.

" Everything has been peaceable here since Mon-
day last, and the Weavers • are principally gone to'
work. Some disturbances, however, have occurred
in the neighbour hood of Stockport. In addition to •
those mentioned •above, which • are extratied from
The British 14)1unteer, tifte.(tn, other prisoners were
yesterday sent to Chester Castle, from Stockport."

The Morning Chronicle has thought proper to de-
nominate this Paper " Me demi-ollicial- Paper of the
Treasury," as well as to accuse us of haVing ptiblished
an " audacious paragraph" in favour of Marquis
WILLItiLLY. Considering the appellation which it
has, thus been pleased to confer on us as an acknow-
ledgineufol the accuracy of our general intOrma-
lion, we shall readily, excuse the Morning Chronicle
for having applied so harsh an epithet to us on the
subject of Marquis IWILLESLUY, particularly as we
support that injured nobleman with the mostdisin-
terested views, and only because we think ourselves.
indebted to his great abilities, aaive. zeal, 'and reso-
late perseverance, for the security of the ,British Etn.
pire in the East.
Tait TH BATH E.--,The Play of The. Stranger drew
a numerous audience last night to the Haymarket
Theatre: The part of the Stranger was performed
by Mr. 'YOUNG, with great .feeling, and with the
judgment which generally marks his acting.--Mrs.
BELLAMY assumed the charther of Mrs. Haller.—
This'cbaratler was so admirably performed by Mrs,
SwDoNs, whose person so well corresponded with
the description which is given of it in the course of
the Play, that every successor has great disadvan-
tages to encounter. Mrs. BILLAMY'S figure,
though well formed, is not of that striking and
'commanding kind which is necessary to satisfy the
expaiation of the audience, nor has she that dig-
nity of demeanor which the charatter requires. It
was evident, however, through the whole of her
acting, that she had a just conception of the part,
though she was somewhat too elaborate in perform-
ing it: In the last sceee, which is, indeed, very
pathetic in itself, she and Mr. YOUNG both acquitted
themselves so well as to have 3 powerful effect upon
the audience.

The• Tragedy of Hamlet was represented last
night at Covent-Garden Theatre, for the benefit of
Mr. GLASSINGTON, the PrOmpter, and was very well
attended, as might indeed be expeaed, as Mr. EIKM-
bLE so ably personates the hero of the piece. The
Farce wos Who Wins? or The Widow's choke,
which has been one of the ino:it popular Dramas
of the present season, and which is so' well recom-
mended by its intrinsic merits, the exeellence of
Mr..CONDELL'S music, and the general merit of the
aeting, that it is not likely to abate in its ettraelion.
The Duchess of YOH awns preseot duriog.t he whole
performance. • Mr. GL'ASSINGTON is 5.;.) attentive to
his duty, and is so respetanole no individual,
his success last tri4ht is due 'tribute to hts merit,
