of Manchester.

Four Troops belonging to the oth Regiment of Dragoon Guards,
which recently reached Canterbury from Edinburgh Castle, have
received orders to march forthwith, from that atation, for Shef-

THE LAW WITH RESPECT TO RIOTING,
In case of any sudden riot or disturbance, any of his Majesty's
subjects may arm themselves and use ordinary means of force to
suppress the sante, without the presence of a Magistrate, or any
other peace-oflicer, being necessary. The military are, of course,
included in the expression, "any of his Majesty's subjects."
A paragraph has appeared in several of the Morn-
ing Papers, giving an account of a starving family in the neigh.
bourhood of Manchester having deVoured a leg of mutton raw.
There is something in this statement so 'truly absurd, that We
shall not waste a word as to the improbability of such a story,
But it may be as well to mention, that this identical paragraph.
originally appeared in an obscure Sunday Newspaper, as far back
49 the month of December last ! The writer of it has, no doubt,
thought it worthy of a second insertion, in consequence of the
alarming, tun; at the same time,, we hive teMporary, distreis
which is now prevailing riw".the manufacturing districts : and it
-is to his ingenuity that we-,tire .indebted for a notice of it by an
Member, who, iOndilithnt to the fact of the destruction of
a joint of raw mutton, has been Owed to add the no less won-
derful

LONDON,
TIMIZSPA Y EVENING, MA 1Y 4, ISM

`We recur to the subject of the Debate of Tuesday
evening, for the purpose of again expressiug our regret
at the course pursued by the Country Gentlemen in
the House of Commons in opposing the measures
which His Majesty's 11(fmisters had recommended
with reference to BondAtCon4. We are co/wiped,
that their opposition on this occasion will be produc-

tine of much evil in various ways, and
,we shall
be surprised if it has, not the effect of has-
tening an alteration ne the whole system of the
Corn Laws. If policy had not dictated to these Gen-
tlemen a different line of conduct on this question, we
do think that sympathy for the feelings of others
should 'have had some influence with them. The
re

collection of the' considerate attention paid to the
Petitions of the Agriculturists during the time they
were particularly suffering, should have led them joy.
fully to seize the present opportunity to assist' the
other.great interest of the country in a time of. unex-
ampled distress, especially with the unqualified as
surance they have from the Ministers of the Crown
that this partial measure is not - to affect the
general question of the Corn Laws. We shall
only add, that we confidentlY trust that the Go-
vernment will not be deterred, by the opposition,
which the landed interest has made, from resolutely
persisting in the proposed IneaSures, the adoption of
which would afford some present relief to the dis-
tresses of the manuflieturers, and would secure the
country from the possible recurrence of still greater
difficulties.

•
Although a, general feeling :%vas ,exprossed in the
House of Commons against any'direet grant of public
money for the relief (4 the distressed Districts 'of

Lancashire, we would wish to make a suggestion upon
this point,. which perhpaynight,.be adopted without
being productive of any esit consequences in respect
to precedent. .By4he-,iiTtrbduetion into 'the market of
the Corn now in Bond; niirpayment of a duty of 12s.

brought into. the ExChequer, which was not included
in the rinancial Estimates of Mr. ROBINSON.-' Let.
not :he Nation at large benefit by this unexpected
Receipt, but let the Sum so arising, be appropriated
to the relief of the Manufacturing Districts. ThiS
would be a national Contribution worthy of the
Country, and effectual in its object. .

Rumours have been in circulation for some days
past, that the Dissolution of Parliament, which was
to take place between the 25th and 29th instant, would
be postponed in consequence of the disturbances in
Lancashire. We believe the actual time for the Dis-
solution, has not yet been finally settled, but we must
say, that we see nu reason for postponing that event.
It is certainly much to be lamented, that Parliament

had not been dissolved during lest autumn, when the
Country was in a quiet, and apparently prosperous
state. Had that been the ease, the new ParEa-

ment would probably have entered upon several
subjects which the present has not ventured to
grapple with ; and the question of the Corn Laws
in particular would have been brought to some
final adjustment. It is now evident that that most im-
portant question cannot be put at rest during the present
Session, and the sooner, therefore, the Session ends the

better ; because, as long as the House sits, the question
will constantly be agitated. That the Session will end
shortly, seems certain, and if this is so, we see no good
ground for postponing the dissolution ; because, if it
should become necessary to summon Parliament again
to meet, it could assemble nearly as soon, if a dissolu-
tion took place, as if it were only prorogued. The
present state of the Country too, is certainly not such
as to excite any apprehension that an Election could

not be carried on with security and safety—but who
can foretell that a less favourable period may not exist,
if it be postponed till a later period of the year ?
On the whole, we shall be happy to find that the dis-
solution is determined on at an early period, after which

if any necessity should arise to call Parliament to-
gether, it will be able to act, with more energy and firm-
ness than it can evince in the immediate prospect of a
General Election.

We are really astonished that the Morning Herald
should continue to insert in its co)umns, Letters upon
Naval Affairs, which, to say the least of them, evince
but little knowledge of the subjects upon which they
profess to treat.

A Letter of this description, signed a " Natal
Officer," appeared in the Herald yesterday, and sur-
passed those which had gone before it in- the inaccuracy
of its statements and conclusions.

The intended employment of his Majesty's ship
'Gloucester, in the conveyance of the Embassy to St.
Petetsbuigh, is made the ground of attack upon the
Admiralty, who are condemned, "for reducing. Officers
entitled by their Rank to mix with thefirst Society of
the land to the humiliating situation of commanding
passage vessels ; and for PQRCING. Passengers on
them' at a fixed rate, which does not meet halt their
expeneos: . The writer then
.goes 0a to prove the
justice of his censure, by stating, that the Gloucester is
to convey the Duke of DEVONSIIIRIeS servants and_
baggage only, of which a Captain is, required to take
charge; while his Cirace and friends will not con-
deseend,to honour his Majesty's ship with their pre-
sence.

Now, it most unfortunately happens fdr this 'Sapient
writer, that the Duke of DEvoNsirria, and the whole
of the distinguished, persons attached to his mission,
are to embark in the Gloucestei, and proceed in that
ship to St. Petersburg': and that her Captain will
not be subjected to one farthing of experfee for their
entertainment or his own, as the Captain's table is to be
provided and kept at the public . expense, by persons
expressly sent on board for that purpose ! I So much
for this particular case.—Now for the general question.
That employment of ships of war in the convey-
ance' of High Public Functionaries, is sometimes
'necessary, cannot be denied : that it is not degrading
to Captains to receive such Functionaries, (for none
'but persons holding 'high stations, or Field Officers''
rank in the Army or Navy, are ever so received at the
Captain's table),.'must be. equally admitted; and that
it is not disagreeable or unprofitable, must be -inferred,
from the eagerness with which the most distinguished
Officers in the Ntival service seek such employment.
The command of the ..Yaehts, -whose only duty is The
conveyance of passengers, has long been alike.,the am-
bition and'reward of the first Offieers of the British
Navy, and will remain so notwithstanding the writings
of the 4, Naval Officer."

His assertion, that the Board of Admiralty are, at
this moment, cramping the,powers, comforts, and con-
venience of Naval Officers, requires no refutation, as it
is falsified by the various Acts of Parliament, instruc-
tions, and regulations, which have been promulgated
within a recent period, by which the pay, provisions,
and general comforts of the officers and men of the
fleet, have been improved in an extraordinary degree,
and the powers of the officers no otherwise restricted
than in the abuse of the authority necessarily vested
iii,them to punish their men.

It will be, seen by the Advertisement in the front
the
er t
y Paper,en
Tuesday that the
forSubscriptionthe Re
Relief
which was opened
in i e f
of the Distresses
of the iVitinufacturing Districts, amounted last night to
the sum of £lB,OOO.

We are happy to observe, that the latest accounts
frbm the disturbed districts are still more favoica'
than thoie preVr6ifsly realived. Indeed, Nve are, as-
,
sttred that the riots had been much exa tea.: it
ggera
would appear, however, that a trifling disturbance
took place at Bradford,. on Monday night, but the
ihnely'arrival.of the YorkshirerHussars, restored tran-
quillity. We have adrices from Manchestar as late

f

as yesterday morning, at which time order pro,

From the Flanders Mail which arrived this morn•

the national jealousy of the French is highly offended

purpose, has been rejected by the Haytiau Government.
" Nobody," says the Correspondent, " knows the subject of the
difficulty; aye, however, regret this uncertainty, for the ratificaties
of the Treaty annihilating it is true ; the English and Gennep
Commerce would at least have given some stability to the state or
