STATE of the MANUFACTURING

DISTRICTS.-MORE ARRESTS.

At Manchester, yesterday, Rogers, another of the
Chartist leaders, was brought before the borough ma-
gistrates on a warrant obtained under the indictment
for conspiracy. Being unable to give bail ho was
committed to the assizes. The prisoners committed on
the previous day to the assizes were removed to the
Kirkdale prison, yesterday, being unable to obtain bail.
At Ashton, during Wednesday night, a clean sweep
was made of all the Chartist and Confederate leaders
who had not sought safety in flight, and thirteen were
brought before the magistrates yesterday, who had been
taken under bench-warrants obtained in the same way,
by indictment, at the assizes, as those on which the Man-
chester Chartists had been taken. James and John
Taylor, William Aitkin, James and Edward Ilarrop,
William Bolton, William Macklin, Joseph Batty, and
Thomas Stowell were apprehended on Wednesday
night, under such warrants, and were brought up at the
Town-hall yesterday to give bail for their appearance at
the next Liverpool assizes. The prisoner whom we
stated yesterday to have been apprehended by Inspector
Maiden en Tuesday, on board the Ocean Monarch,
bound for Boston, was Samuel Ratcliffe, who, on per-
ceiving the officer coming to the ship, stowed himself
away in the hold among some rubbish. Ile was brought
to Ashton on Wednesday evening, and it was expected
he would be brought up yesterday. He is charged with
sedition and conspiracy. No disturbances took place on
Wednesday night, though a few shots were heard in
Dukinfield.

At Bradford, on Wednesday night, the police, acting
under the orders of the magistracy, paid a round of
visits to the various club-rooms of the Chartists and
Confederates in the town of Bradford. Most of them
were found empty, but in Emmett's section room, in
Victoria-street, nine men were found, half•a-dozen of
them being woolcombers, two weavers, and a tinner, and
they were all marched off to prison, a number of books
and papers in the care of the secretary being taken by
the officers of justice. At the house of John Smyth, in
Thomas-street, a number of papers were also found, and
he, too, was conveyod to prison. The names of the
persons apprehended are--James Ilelltwell (30), Eli
%Vilma!' (30), Joseph Ridehalgh (21), Thomas Ibbetson
(20), William Wood (30), Adam Stratton (30), Thomas
Wilkinson (42), Edward Power (42), Daniel Lindon
(34), and John Smyth (42). The capture of these men
was effected in a very quiet manner, and although the
military were under arms their services wore not re-
quired. Yesterday the town was as quiet as usual,

TIIE DiactruNs or LirE.—" These volumes de-
clare themselves the work of a female hand, and one in
which the sweetness, simplicity, and pathos of the best
old English style of narrative seem to us revived. The
writer will make herself widely known, and will find lov-
ing welcome. There is no merit nor hazard in predict-
ing it. Since Miss Austen ceased to write and Mrs.
Marsh began, we have had no other story- telling of its
class that we would place upon a level with this, for
freshness, straightforwardness, and truth of tone and
feeling. Its way to the sympathies is direct, swift, sure.
Criticism notices faults of haste and inexperience, but
forgets them in the presence of emotion as real as the
heart can undergo, or the eye bear silent witness to.
There are passages in these stories which even Mrs.
Inchbald has hardly surpassed, for the sweet cunning
andbwoei.

SHAKESPERE BIRCHED.—An unfortunate indivi-
dual, who thus writes himself down, " W. J. Birch, M.A. ,
New Inn Hall, Oxon," has been guilty of begetting a book
called An Inquiry into the Philosophy and Religion of Shahs-
pere. This benighted Birch calls up Shakspere, and accuses
him of Infidelity. He had not the proper notions of immor-
tality, says Birch ; and—to the great delight of his own cha-
ritable soul—he proves, at least in the belief of the possessors,
the existence of no such for other people. Marlowe is at
once written down an Atheist; and, indeed, other playhouse
folks are turned inside out, as Birch would turn out one cf
his old gloves. Several of our contemporaries have abused
Birch at length; the more simple they. We should as soon
think of arguing with a reasoner who, for fault of human
wit, used ancient eggs. A Birch, however, insults Shaks-
pere ' we would punish him and in this fashion :—We would
turn him adrift in a washing tub on the Avon; and whereas
Birch has thrown his dirt at the Swan, he should be piloted
by congenial geese. After this we should have it signifi-
cantly proved to Birch that he deserved nothing short of
himself.—Punch.
The Duke of Bedford left town early in the week,
to join the distinguished party visiting the Duke of De-
vonshire, at Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire.
