S. Periei and R. Wood.. Yellow.

It was a good start, taken by yellow, who, after
being pressed severely for half a mile, gave way to
pink, who went in and won the heat. Yellow was
second and green third ; one of the parties in the latter
boat was taken exceedingly ill at the close of the
heat. After an hour and a half, occupied in refresh-
ment, pink, green, and yellow went to their stations
for the grand heat. This was throughout as splendid
and as gallant a race between the two first pairs as we
ever remember to have witnessed. After a few
strokes, yellow dashed off with the first place, but in
three minutes afterwards pink came up oar and oar
with them, and after some very powerful rowing
passing them. On nearing the distance-boat, yel-
low again made a fresh effort, and rounding closer
cut their adversaries out, and again had the lead.
Both parties laid down to their work with much
spirit, and within a short distance of the winning-
post pink shot by their opponents, and won the race
by a couple of lengths.

FURTHER TUN-OUT OF WORKMEN.

At the moment we write,,the system of stopping
employment has re-commenced in every district, even
in the less numerous trades in the very heart of the
town, including the engravers' shops, calenderers,
&c. Parties are patrolling the neighbourhood of St.
George's-road also, and stopping the brick-crofts. Even
the wret.led hand-loom weavers in Angel Meadow
have been visited. Meetings of the trades are taking
place in the different parts of the town, with a view
of preventing this :state of things, by enrolling ad-
ditional members in the unions.
RENE WED ATTEMPT TO STOP RAIL-
WAY COMMUNICATION.

FOUR o'Ctocx, P.m.—Since writing the above,
further particulars have come to our knowledge, which
lead to the conclusion that matters are far from being
so pacific as we had hoped. By eight o'clack this
morning, another attack was made on the engine-
house of the Leeds Railway. The hands, chiefly
mechanics, who were turned out there yesterday, had
not returned to work, and their place had been ac-
cordingly supplied by others. The mob this morning
was numerous and very violent, and they soon com-
pelled the new hands to desist, and drove them off as
fast as they attempted to return.
The officers of the.Compeny finding that there was
no chance of keepinc, any hands employed in the en-
gine-shed, accordingly removed the whole of the en-
gines, &c., which are usually there kept, _to the neigh-
bourhood of the station, where they are perfectly se-
cure from any attack.
A daring attempt was made, on the same line, to
prevent the departure of the mail-train, which leaves
the station at eleven o'clock.

The arrival of all the down trains, from Leeds, has
been regular, but the country is described as in a state
of commotion along the whole line. A gentleman
who arrived by the train, which comes in at a quarter-
past one, states that he saw large mobs assembled in
the neighbourhood of Hebden-bridge, and learned that
all the works had been stopped in that quarter. The
Oldham train, which arrived at a quarter to two, came
at the proper time, but brings no additional news of
importancq from that town
ATTEMP TO THROW AN ENGINE OFF
THE NORTH UNION LINE.—STATE OF
PRESTON.

An express engine arrived in Manchester about
twelve o'clock, from Preston, bringing a special mes-
senger from the Magistrates of that town to request
military assistance from Manchester. All the wol ks
had been stopped, and the riot was raging fearfully.
We regret to learn that 'an attempt had been made
to throw this engine off the rails.
RIOT AT PRESTO M.—THE MOB FIRED
London, England, 1842-08-15

STOPPAGE OF 'WORKMEN.

As early as half-past seven in the morning a mob of
the usual character made an onset on the bricklayers
and labourers employed at the new buildings in Pool
Field (the same as were attacked yesterday), and com-
pelled them to cease work. A t other buildings in the
town ,and neighbourhood, where masons or brick-
laver4 are employed (including the new church in
Stratford-roads), the same course of intimidation has
been successfully practised.
TRADES' MEETING AT THE HALL OF
SCIENCE.
An ether seditious meeting, under the guise of a meet-
ing 'of trades delegates, has been held at the Socialists'
Hall this morning, at eleven o'clock. There was a
. very crowded attendance. A person, whose name we
could not learn, -but who was said to be the foreman of
Mr. Worrars- dye- works, in Salford, was in the chair.
there was a great deal of wrangling in the course of
the proceeding., hut ultimately a resolution, pledging
the men not to return to work till the people's Charter
was obtained,' was carried by a' wut three-fourths of
the _meeting:- -

open their doors. In the. middle of the town all the
shops are_open as usual, and appear to- he doing their
regular business. The business of such of the markets
held this day has be':n allowed to proceed, we believe,
without the slightest interruption.
- • OUTRAGE AT WILMSLOW.

About noon information reached town of a very
daring and riotous attack, which was made yesterday
on Mr. Gray's mill, at Quarry-brook, near Wimslow.
Near 500 .men came there, and after demanding ad-
mittance, forced opened the door, and the whole body
Marched into the lower part of the mill, and did con-
.siderable dantage- .before they could be ejected. Our
informant states, that they all appeared to he perfectly
sober. They then went to the village shops and the.
.bai,_ehouses, au.c.l seized all the bread they could lay
theirhand'., on. We have not heard that any of them
haVe beensecured..

SATURDAY, ONE O'CLOCK.—The temporary lull
—for we fear it can only prove a temporary
one—has given the authorities time to breathe,
and to provide more efficiently against any future
breach of the pace. Already have more than
three thousand constables been sworn in ; and in the
out-townships—l3roughton, Cheetham, Chorlton-
upon-Medlock, Hulme, and Ardwick—the under-
standing that parties wishing it shall be called upon
to serve in their own neighbourhoods only, has had
an exceding,ly beneficial effect in inducing respectable
householders and tradesmen to come forward and
take upon themselves the onerous duties.

LEICESTER.

STRIKE OF THE COLLIERS AT WHIT-
WICK, NEAR LEICESTER.

The colliers of theie coal-pits, which are situated
about 14 or 1,5 miles from Leicester, turned out in
great numbers yesterday (Saturday), but haYe not,
up to Sunday noon, proceeded to any acts of violence.
They had given some reason to apprehend that such
would be their conduct, and information was conse-
quently forwarded to the chief constable of the county
(Mr. Goodyer), who immediately despatched two of
his force to keep a watch upon their conduct. More
men have been sent over to-day, and against tomor-
row morning, when there is to be a meeting of pit-
men held, there will be a strong body of police assem-
bled in the immediate neighbourhood. •No outbreak
is apprehended to-day, but what lengths they may
proceed to to-morrew, if they should not succeed in
inducing the whole dthe pitmen to join them, it is
impossible to say, for they are a veryrough set. Our
borough Magistrates are now on the alert, in order to
be prepared for any ebullition in town, of which, how-
ever, there ate at present no signs.

MEETING OF THE TOWN COUNCIL.

This (Friday) afternoon, the Town Council were
convened by the Mayor, at very short notice, on
special business. The Mayor took the chair. Mr.
Alderman Chappell then brought forward a resolu-
tion, which, after some discussion, in the course of
which a clause was introduced, expressive of the com-
miseration felt by the Council for the distressed state
of the pocr, was ultimately seconded. by Mr. Walter
Clark, and unanimously adopted. It was as follows:
' That this Council, whilst deeply commiserating
Cie distresses under which a large portion cf the work-
ing classes have been for some time past and are now
suffering, is convinced that it is of the utmost import-
ance, that -the inhabitants should unequivocally and
generally express their disapproval of the illegal and
riotous proceedings by which this neighbourhood has
been, during; the last few days, disgraced ; and that it
is incumbent upon the respectable inhabitants gene-
rally throughout the borough, to co-operate to the ful-
le:t extent posssible with the Magistrates, in aiding them
in the maintenance of the peace, and in the preservation
of property. That, with the view of carrrying 'out
the suggestion made in the resolution of the Magis-
trates, the Aldermen and Councillors of each ward
be requested forthwith . to convene meetings in their
respective wards of the respectable inhabitants,
urgently calling upon them to come forward for the
purpose of being sworn in as special constables, to
assist in the protection of property and the preserva-
tiou or peace in their own wards ; or to take such
other steps as may be required for obtaining the tuzsit-
ance in every ward of a large number of the inhabi-
tants as special constables."
We learn that, up to last evening, not fewer than
two thousand fire hundred special constables have been
sworn in, to act within the borough of Manchester
only. Four or five hundred more have been sworn
in to net for the borough of Salford; and numbers
of the inhabitants of the neighbouring townships have
also come forward to enrol themselves as special con-
stables in their respective localities.

MEETING OF DELEGATES.

At twelve o'clock at noon, a meeting of delegates
was held at the Sherwood Inn, Tib-street, for the
purpose of considering what was best to be done in
the present crisis. Two hundred delegates, represent-
ing the various trades and mill hands of Manchester
and its neighbourhood, were present. James Farrell
presided. The following resolutions were unanimously
adopted :
" That we, the delegates representing the various
trades of Manchester and its vicinities, with delegates
from various parts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, do
most emphatically declare, that it is our solemn aid
conscientious conviction that all the evils which afflict
society, and which have prostrated the interests and •
energies of the great body of producing classes, arise
solely from class legislation; and that the only re-
medy for the present alarming distress and wide-
spread destitution is the immediate and unmutilated
adoption, and carrying into law, the document known
as the Peoples Charter."
Resolved, secondly :—" That' this meeting recom-
mend the people of all trades and callings to forthwith
cease work, until the above document becomes the
law of the land."
MEETING AT CARPENTER'S HALL.

At two o'clock, a still larger meeting of delegates
was held at Carpenter's Hall, which was crammed to
excess. The meeting was addressed by various
speakers, and did not break up until nearly eight
o'clock. The resolutions agreed to at the previous
meeting were unanimously adopted ; and an amend-
ment,, to the effect that they should commence work
as soon as the prices of 1840 were granted, was so
feebly supported that it fell to the ground.. • The ,ge-
neyal feeling -of the meeting was, that, even if the
masters ; should agree to the terms proposed, thew
could ,he no. guarantee for there being adhered to;
unless the working classes .were invested with the
suffrage, .so.as ,t.o.give them a voice in•the choosing of
the law makers. So great was the interest felt with
regard to the proceedings of this meeting, that thou-
sands assembled outside, besieging the doors, and
anxiously inquiring as to what was going on within.
About four o'clock the assemblage was so large, and
assumed so alarming an appearance, that the authorities
deemed it advisable to disperse it, which was effected.

MACCLESFIELD.

The procession which left Stockport yesterday
morning-, was joined, at Poynton and neighbourhood,
by parties from Oldham, Ashton, llyde, &c. At Hazel
areve, they were joined by numbers of silk weavers;
and at Poynton, the colliers were compelled to leave
off work, and readily joined the mob. They
then proceeded on towards Macclesfield; but,
before arriving, they again separated, one party
taking the road to Bollington, on arriving
at which place the three mills there were im-
mediately stopped, and the hands turned out. At
Mr. Swindle's mill, the boiler fires were put out, and
the boilers emptied, by knocking in the plugs. The
shopkeepers in the neighbourhood were visited, and
asked for bread, which they gave liberally. A shop-
keeper. named Brooks, gave them two cheeses, a flitch
of bacon, and a great quantity ofloaves. ,No outrage
was committed. The party then went on to Mac:cles-
field, on their arrival at which place, all the mills had
been stopped by the party that had left them on the
way. The silk weavers had all turned out for an ad-
vance of wages on the previous evening, but none of

but the crowd had bread given to them from the various
chamber windows. The mills having been all stopped,
the crowd; to the number of -12,000 or 14,000, assem-
bled] on Park-green, and were addressed by various
speakers, when it was determined -to stand out, and
wait the -directions of the 'confereece, to he held in
Manehesteri. on Wednesday next. One of the speak-
ers told them, that, if they ventured to begin work
again, a number of the turn-outs from other places
were stopping in Macclesfield all night, some of whom
were provided with pigeons, and they would be sent
off ; so that the people of Stockport would know in
less than half an hour after a mill had resumed work-
ing, and they would come back and " give it the de-
vils." He also stated that pigeons would be sent from

MEETING OF JOINERS, &c.

,
Between eleven and twelve o'clock a meeting. of
joiners, carpenters, &c., was held in Carpenter's,hall ;
there were about 300 or 400 present. The usual re-
solutions were passed to oppose class legislation, and
to demand a fair day's wages for a fair day's work..
It was also announced that they would form put of a
procesion to meg Mr.Feargus O'Connor, at Ardwick-
green, on Tuesday morning. next, the 16th August,

ing terminated about twelve o'clock.
We understand that parties of turn-outs: proceeded
to the Manchester and Birmingham, and the Man-
chester and Sheffield Railways, which have a common
terminus in Manchester, and stopped some of the
t►ains; but they did no material damage to the loco-
motives.

MA:STCHESTER, SATURDAY EVENING.

We are glad to have it in our power to report that
the town generally is this morning more tranquil
than it has been on any day since the outbreak of the
riot. The interruptions to the general tranquillity
to-day have hitherto been slight and few in number.
This is, doubtless, attributed, in some degree, to the
very large number of persons who have, with the ut-
most promptitude, come forward and enrolled them-
selves as special constables. At the same time the
circumstances that none of the mills, except the
Messrs. Bir]ey's and Messrs. Kennedy's, as far as we
can learn, have attempted to start work to-day, has no
doubt mainly led to this temporiry lull.__ .

creditable to all those engaged in it. The prizes were
given by the nobility angentlemen amateurs resi-
dents of Whitehall, and amongst the donors were the
Duke of Buccleuch, Lord Liverpool, Lord Castle-

BOLTON.

SATURDAY, FOUR, P.M.—Yesterday evening the
Bolton Cavalry, under the command (in the absence
from England of Captain Langshaw) of Lieut. John
Fletcher, were called out and drawn up in front of
the police-office, in which building were placed the
company, now lying here, of the 72d Highlanders.
The men of both troops were kept under arms the
whole of the night, ready to be called out at a mo-
n- ent's warning. In consequence of a meeting having
been announced to be held last night in the market-
place, great crowds of persons congregated together;
the police attempted to disperse them, but their force
was inefficient ; the Highlanders were called out, and
the mob were dispersed. Several skirmishes took
place, and stones were thrown, but nothing more ma-
terial than one of the soldiers and one or two of the
police slightly wounded occurred,
During the night all was quiet and orderly, and up
to noon to-day there appeared no indication of a dis-
turbance. A vague report had been afloat that several
thousand men, armed with bludgeons, &c., were to
enter the town this morning ; but not the least cre-
dence was given to the rumour. However, at twelve
o'clock the report was found to be too well grounded ;
for the town was shaken from its "propriety" by a
mob, consisting of at least 5,000 persons, armed with
bludgeons, staves, bars of iron, or anything else calcu-

IWO NEY— TRAM C Om:mai/cr.

It was stated yesterday, at a meeting of the Thames Haven, bock•
and Railway Company, that inßelg:u n, during ten months of the
year 1838, from the very 'low fares, upwards of 2,000,000 persons
travelled on the railways, the whole population of the kingdom not
exceeding 4,000,000.

_ .
It appears that from the year 1790 to 1839, both inclusive,
10,283.471 bushels of wheat were exported from the United States,
being a yearly average of 209,666 bushels.

Emigrates from Baden and Wurtemburg have increased at an
immense ratio for the last five years, who settle on the banks or
the Mississippi, and at New Orleans, where they chiefly become
vine.growers.

The towns of Preston and St. 1-lelen!a, Liverpool, -once hives
of industry, Are now. courerted- into oue peat }reserve,- with
keepers and lvdgea, having scarce:a thicket without a hare, or
coppice without a pheasant, and in the Midst or them all, meets arse
starving by thousands.

The lowest estimate of the extent of la::d at present undo grain
crop in South Australia is 5,000 acre. Judge Cooper recently
stated, in a late address to the grand jii z y at Adelaide, from what
he considered to be good authority, that the number of acres of
land, from which wheat , barley, and oats will be this year reaped.
is 10,000 ; that the number of sheep is '200,160; of cattle, 16.000 g.
of horses, 1,600; pigs, 5,000 ; and of goals, 1,000. There Is thus
reason to believe that in the course of another year, as much cant
will be raised as will supply the wants of the colonists, that is, of
about 15,000 souls.

COMMERCIAL REFORM.
At a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of St. MartifPs•ln.the.
Fields last night, Mr. Sidney Smith, in the course of a lecture,
stated that there were 2,000 more women to be employed in London
than men. Most of the half-pay officers of the army and navy were
living on tke Continent, not for the cheapness of dress or carriages,
but because the price of bread was sd. when it was Bd. in England.
In the course of sixteen years, 17,000 agricultural families were
thrown out of occupation.

PEEL'S EFFIGY AGAIN.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
BEVERLEY, FEB. 22.—Last Bight the inhabitants of the
usually quiet town of Beverley were aroused by a band of music
playing the Rogue's March through the town, accompanied by
an immense number of the people, some of whom carried, sus-
pended upon a gallows, an effigy of Sir Robert Peel, with a rope
attached, to draw him from one skie of the gallows to the other,
in imitation of his sliding scale. He was preceded by a num-
ber of people carrying various placards. The motto of some
were as follows :—" Peel, the Rat-catcher," " Peel, the Star-
vation Minister," in a large rat-trap, two live rats, with the
following underneath : "Graham and Stanley, the Peel rats."
Another, with the names of the recently-appointed Magistrates
as " Graham Rats," as all the newly-appointed Magistrates are
renegades to their former principles, like Sir J. Graham. We
suppose that was their recommendation, as we know of no
other. When they arrived at our spacious market-place, and
paraded round the market-cross, a judge and jury were ap-
pointed to try the Joseph Surface, when he was shot and burnt
by the unanimous voice of the jury and people. There were
several thousands of people assembled, who behaved in a most
orderly manner; and after giving three cheers for the total
repeal of the provision-laws, three cheers for the Liberals, and
three groans for Peel and the Monopolists, and three groans
for the Tories, the people quietly separated. One of the
newly-appointed Magistrates sent a message to a widow lady,
who keeps an inn, to say that i f any thing came from her house
that night, he should remember her on the licensing day.

CHARTISM.-FALSE REPORTS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In the Carmarthen Journal and other Welsh papers,
paragraphs are repeatedly appearing, stating that the Chartists
of various parts of Wales are arming themselves for a physical
movement.• As a member of the Chartist Executive Council,
having a most perfect knowledge of all that transpires in the
Chartist body, I beg, through the medium of your paper, most
positively to contradict these false statements. I believe the
parties originating them are interested in terrifying the minds
of the public. Most likely they are the tools of the Govern-
ment in that quarter, who feel anxious to prolong their servile
occupation, and for this purpose resort to the most vile misrepre-
sentations. The Chartists are extensively organised to pro-
mote the spread of political knowledge, and by legal means to
contend for the overthrow of unjust institutions. Happily they
are too likely to succeed peacefully, to be compelled to resort to
acts of forcible resistance to corrupt Government.—Yours, &c.,
R. K. PHILP.

THEA7'II.XCAL.

Among the novelties of the Promenade Concerts at the
English Opera-house, on Tuesday, was a fine solo on the
flute composed and played by Mr. Richardson, with great
elegance ; and a concerto on the ophicleide by M. Pros-
pere, remarkably round and full of tone.
A new one-act comedy, entitled the Woman-Hater,
from the pen of Mr. B. Bernard, was produced at the Hay-
market on Tuesday night. Thepiece turns upon the dreams
of a Baron Ravensburg, who entrenching himself in phi-
losophical biasses against women and a marriage-state,
is led by a train of circumstances to adopt the opposite
theories, and to reject Seneca for the solace of a wife.
COURT—FASHIONABLE.
The Earl and Countess of Kinnoul have arrived at
Dublin Castle, on a visit to the Lord Lieutenant and the
Countess De Grey.
The Countess Cadogan had a card party on the Ter-
race, Piccadilly, on Monday.
The Countess Berkeley has been receiving company at
Cranford Lodge during the preceding week.
Prince Esterhazy is expected at Chandos House to-day.
The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield remain at Bad-
minton till Friday or Monday next.
The Marquis of Aylesbury entertained the French
Ambassador at dinner on Monday last.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Yesterday in 1763, an. insurrection broke out at
Berbice, where upwards of 100 persons were killed; 20
were whites and the rest negroes. The negro rebels put
the Europeans to death by cutting them to pieces bit by
bit, while some had spikes driven throutvh their bodies.
Lord Cowley, the English Ambassador, despatched a
courier last Monday to London, who was doubtless the
bearer of the last answers of the French Cabinet on the
question of the Right of Search.
The man who is said to have carried the head of the
Princess de Lamballe on a pike, named Chariot, and
who had been himself one of the chief butchers in Paris,
died a few days ago in the Faubourg St. Antoine.

TAFF VALE RAI LW AY.—The iron-works in

consequence.
