TUESDAY, AUG. 16.—The Royal Yacht Squadron
Ball was more numerously attended than for some
years past, upwards of 270 fashionables being present,
not including two gentlemen of the " swell mob,"
who by some means got admission. They had no`,.
been in the room twenty minutes when they went to
work, but made a bad hit. The gentleman being a
county Magistrate, was down on them in a moment.
The younger of the two, Mr. Charles Hawkins, had
his hand drawn into Mr. Farnell's coat-pocket ; in
drawing it out again, his finger being crooked,brought
out with it that gentleman's purse with fifteen so-
vereigns in it, and Mr. Thomas Howard had it in an
instant afterwards, and in the next Mr. P. had his
iron hands on both these worthies. The police were
called in, and the parties searched. Besides the purse
and contents were found on one, in a piece of brown
paper, 15 sovereigns, also about 21. in silver, a lady's
gold watch, with gold chain, and several valuable gold
rings ; on the other about 21.
They were taken off to Newport, and yesterday,
on the evidence of Mr. Parnell and Mr. Lloyd, fully
committed. They had dined and taken tea at the
Vine Hotel, and had beds provided at Bartlett's, 39,
High-street, but slept in Newport gaol.

came
to anchor about ten. The day was very
, but
breeze so light, that sometimes the yachts could
hardly stem the tide. The town was full of company,
every house crowded, and there were thousands to
witness the sport, which was first rate. After the
yachts were started, five fine yawls sailed for the
town purse. This match was no sooner decided than
the rowing matches commenced, and were continued
until evening. The duck race was excellent—the
duck a most impudent one, but not to be caught.
There was a brilliant display of fire works afloat and on
shore. The yachts were beautifully lighted up; the
fixed pieces on the parade were splendid.
FRIDAY, AUG. 19.—Match for 501. cup given by

minutes. It was a very excellent match.

r-'OI4SPIRACY TO MURDER THE
EMPEROR OF RUSSIA AND THE KING OF
.PRUSSIA.
(From the Britannia.)
~In the communication of our Frankfort cone-
/It udent, will be found the startling announcement
ti4i, a plot was formed by the nobles of Russia to
4%2; :sinate the Emperor and the King of Prussia,
°ll (x-casion of the recent visit of the latter to St.
,
tersburgh. This is the ,first intimation of such a
etilaspiracy which has yet been published ; but we
I not therefore inclined to view the statement as
.I,llli founded. We know our correspondent to be intel-
'Vent and active, and to have access to the best sources
6f information ; and from the jealous secresy main-
tained on all such subjects in Russia, it is highly proba-
ble that the first intelligence of the plot would be given
to the world by some members of the Prussian Court.
details, we must refer to the communication itself.
"le emancipation of the serfs has, it is known, excited
great dissatisfaction among several of the most
Powerful families of the empire ; and the whole
narrative of the projected assassination, horrible as it
is, is too much in accordance with other authentic
records of Russian conspiracy to excite disbelief on
the score of its atrocity. Our correspondent writes
'lvith great confidence, and, we are sure, would not
11.-nice so extraordinary a statement on light grounds.
All England will be startled and horrified at this
'announcement. It is but too true. It comes from a
source which defies contradiction. The grand day of
the
a
nuptial jubilee at St. Petersburgh had nearly
Proved
day of deep and dreadful mourning. tinder
Divine Providence, the terrible calamity was averted
°lfily by the wonderful' presence of mind of the King
of Prussia. From the very first moment that
the Emperor of Russia resolved upon pro-
:ltiulgating the ukase which has redeemed millions
„,,` of slaves from the chains of their tyrants, the o-
'l3ses became enraged against him to the utmost
Pitch of exasperation, and entered into a dark
'and widely-spread conspiracy to take his life upon the
very first convenient opportunity that might present
itself. Believing that the emancipation of the serfs
:tad been earnestly suggested and recommended to the
"--eanperor by the King of Prussia, they determined
'that the latter great and good monarch should perish
,at the same moment with their sovereign. With the
fixed and fell purpose of carrying their atrocious
Project into execution, they waited with impatience
for the hour which was to bring both monarchs
together, amidst the acclamation of hundreds of thou-
aands. In the meantime the Emperor received pri-
vate information of their diabolical design, but con-
tealing it from his illustrious brother-in-law, he or-
dered that the chiefs of the conspiracy should be
Instantly seized and sent off to Siberia. His orders
Were promptly executed, but this only served to
Increase the number of murderous villains who had
Previously .doomed him to death, and decided
that he ought never to have been permitted to
live unless as the passive instrument of their will.
ooking forward to the 25th of July (0. S.) as their
~
.:.ides of March, they prepared to muster in overwhelm-
log numbers on that day, caring not whether they-
'neluged the streets of St.Petersburgh with blood, pro-
vided shed the blood of their intended victims.
-'-he signal for slaughter was to be given at a late hour
f: the day, when all their forces should have assembled.
Leanwhile the Emperor being accurately informed of all
eir proceedings and machinations throughout his Eu-
io pean dominions, adopted every possible precau-
-1 1"
to guard against danger so awfully imminent.
1
le ordered to the capital all those troops on
,'hose fidelity he thought he could most rely, and
moved to a considerable distance those whom
'its_.e distrusted. He quadrupled the number of his
d y guards, selecting his augmentation from
e,°l4 sof tried and devoted loyalty. By this time
the King of Prussia was on his way to St. Peters -
nrg h ; and scarcely had his Majesty landed on the
Z,kors s of the Neva, when he could perceive, from
s r% ,ception, the envenomed feelings of prejudice and
bi ttreu. which' the nobles had excited against him. Has-
te on to the palace of Peterhof with all possible
SP eed ho resolved to get back to his own country with
little &lay as decency would permit, being impa-
tiently anxious to escape from a rude, barbarous, and
Inhospitable land. There is no doubt whatever that,
rearing the %Worst, he was prepared to be continually
11P on his gurn.d. The interchange of domestic and
afrectiona.te regards, between him and the members of
the Imperial fainily, was short and abrupt on this ac-
"l3 xit. But it vias deemed politic that, at any risks, a
public demonstrat ion of family union and family happi-
tess should be made upon a scale of unprecedented
• grandeur. The Prussian Monarch, however, was ;m-
-lnovably resolved that the time which his part :n
the pageant was to occupy should not exceed one
hour ! Leaving the Palace of Peterhof amidst
compact masses of faithful guards, both cavalry and
!niantry, their imperial and royal Majesties arrived in
`the great square of St. Petersburgh at a much earlier
'lour thanthose who were intent upon their destruction
Were led to expect. The admirable foresight of the
King of Prussia thus disconcerted all the plans of the
conspirators; for while they thought the grand scenes
'f the day were only about to commence, they were
c. 'early all .over. The monarchs embraced each other in
midsttroops
o: the grand square with evident emotion—
s( unding presenting arms, and peals of artillery re-
m all directions, as well from the land side
Ss en the shipping in the Nas
Neva. The Guards were then
put through some fey' evolutions, but in no instance so
as to interfere with the ssompactness of their lines, and
in sediately afterwards Their Majesties ,returned in
al 'elty to Peterhof, which was in all respects converted
int, s' a strong garrison, while every spot of ground
aro aid •
it was covered with the Imperial Guards,
and the stanchest troops of the line occupied all the
prig e'ipal streets of St. Petersburgh. In the meantime
as tl to hour for giving the signal approached, the
cons; al.rators were seen advancing in separ:kte

QUITE SAFE.—" Is there any danger from the
boa constrictor ?" said a visitor to a zoological show-
man. " Not the least," replied the showman, "he never
bites—he swallows his wittles whole."
Sul R. PEEL.---A rumour prevailed here yesterday
that Sir R. Peel would arrive with the London steam-
ship Si this port last night. In consequence of this re-
port, upwards of 500 persons lined the quay before the
arrival of the steamer at the entrance to the harbour.
Unfortunately, and we believe on account of the disturbed
sote of Lancashire, the Right Hon. Baronet did not
make his appearance, his presence being required in
Londo!1 to guide the Home Secretary by hi 6 advice. We
understood that apartments were taken for Sir Robert
and suite ;11 an hotel in town, and that the illustrious
Leader of the House of Commons Intended to have pro-
ceeded hence on a visit to Colonelßaillie, Inverness-shire.
The crowd of people on the pier, although in a great
measure composed of the working classes, appeared pre-
pared to welcome the Premier in a spirited manner, and
all departed disappOnted.—.D undee Courier of Tuesday.

The ',intelligence reesisie4 from the neighbouring
towns is not yet of so cheering a efir4axter, The sus-
pension of labour system still prevails among thew,
but the breaking up of the system by the operatives
of Manchester must have its effect upon those towns as
soon as the vagabond hands of rioters are forced to
disperse.
Accounts from Preston state that the handa Pr one
of the mills belonging to Messrs. Francis had again
turned out last night for an advance of wages. The
workmen employed in two other mills are expected to
strike this morning.
At Haslingden, A town situate a few miles from
Manchester, much alarm was _created by the `pp fart
-
ance o: a mob of persons, who entered ti* WWII la
night. The number of these rioters amounted tn
about 10,060 ; and they took meat, drink, and money
from thg Shopkeepers. An express was sent for mili-
tary aid to the General of the district, at Manchester,
but none could be spared, the state of this town re-
quiring the large force at the disposal of the authori-
ties to be kept up.
This morning a company of Rifles was despatched
to Rochdale and the neighbourhood, in consequence
of a message to the Major-General that riots were
likely to take place.
At Blackburn all remains quiet, but the Ingls are
still at a stand.

visited West Oughton on Monday, is interesting,
though the circumstances are partly known already,-
as it affords a striking woof of the intimidation exer-
cised over the peaceable and industrious oneratiye :
" You are probably aware that on Monday from ‘,00()
to 8,000 persons came as a mob through this village
from Bolton, &c. Previous to coming here, they had
stopped the collieries of Mr. Hulton and Mr. Wood-
ward, as well as the stationary engine upon the
line of the BolioD and Leigh Railway at Chequer-
bent. Their next step was my mill, Which was stopped
instanter by a party. of them breaking the yanl
doors, and knocking the plugs out of the boilers, On
their way they demanded bread, cheese, &c., from all
the publicans and shopkeepers ; but without waiting
for its being given them, they unceremoniously took
it in a very threatening manner, which was truly
alarming, and were also I"PrY desirous to commit their
unlawful acts upon the private residences of respect-
able individuals, but were ordered to desist by parties
who appeared to have some control over them. I have
not heard of any instance where they succeeded in
getting ale or sutras, except at the Hulton Arms, in
Hulton. They theft proceeded to Hindley (but a
party from Wigan had previously stopped the works
there) still levying contributions as they went along,
whidn in very few cases were refused. They re-
turned through the higher part of this village in the
evening. Sinna glen no kind of work has been re-

are threatened severely if they attempt it, Thu per:
tainly would have done so this morning had not the
'new order' from the Chartists made its appearance
on the afternoon of yesterday, by placards upon the
walls."
We have already given the resolutions of the mas-
ters' committee. We now give those of the power-
loom weavers, copied from a placard issued by their
executive
" NOTICE 113.014 lAN POWER-LOOM WEAVERS TO

" We, the acting committee of the power-loom
weavers of Manchester and Salford, chosen in public

Manchester and Sfilford, do not return to our work
until we receive the 641101 rate of wa,trie§ that was paid
in 1839 ; and, in the event that our masters do not
comply with that just and reasonable demand, we will
abide by the decision of the other trades generally,
