From the latest advices from the mining and manu-
facturing districts, we gather that the disturbances
still continue to spread—and to spread with a speed,
and to an extent, that demand the utmost prompti-
tude and energy on the part of Government. This
vigour, much to their praise be it said, Ministers
seem actively bent on exerting ; and we are
not without strong hopes, therefore, notwithstanding
present appearances in the disturbed districts,
that their exertions will be crowned with
success. As regards those misguided operatives who
still persevere in.their lawless and tumultuous pro-
ceedings, we would exhort them seriously to pause and
consider whether they are not, by their intemperate
course of conduct, removing themselves still further
than ever from the chance of obtaining redress of their
grievances, and perilling the cause which they profess
to have so much at heart. If they imagine that, by
their present exhibitions, they are displaying their for-
midable strength, we can assure them that they are
wholly in error ; for they are showing rather what they
cannot do, than what they can do. They have power and
they have influence, and they can snake that power and
that influence felt in the Legislature (notwithstanding
the vast number of monopolists there arrayed against
them) so long as they maintain a firm and peaceable
demeanour ; but the instant they abandon this pru-
dential line of conduct, and have recourse, as at pre-
sent, to illegal acts, their influence diminishes ; they
multiply enemies, and compel those to stand aloof,
who would fain be their most active friends and sup-
porters. The report now goes that they are agi-
tating for the Charter. Do they hope to gain that
Charter by showing, to the satisfaction of all parties,
ho w unfit they are to be entrusted with fur-
ther power ? To obtain just privileges, by
having recourse to unjust acts? We conjure them to
weigh well their present position, and more especially
to consider what a blight they are casting over their
prospects—what misery they are heaping up for them-
selves; and those who are dependent on them, by the
ill-judged course they are now pursuing.

We have received the French Papers of Saturday.
They state that some discussions had taken place in the
Bureaux on the Regency Bill, and in general it finds fa-
vour, even with M. TRIERS. M. ODILLON BARROT
also will vote for it as it has been proposed by the Mi-
nisters. It was, however, still reported that some De-
puties, and M. DE LA MARTINE is mentioned as one,
would endeavour to substitute the name of the
Duchess of ORLEANS for that of the Duke de
NEMOURS. Such an attempt can only cause a little
irritation, and must end in the disappointment of the
ambitious poet, who is quite misplaced as a politician.
Both on Friday and:Saturday there was a consider-
able fall in the price of Spanish, on the Paris Ex-
change, in consequence, as it is said, of the increasing
difficulties of the Spanish Treasury.
The Journal des Debats discusses, at considerable
length, the failure of our West India Mail Packet
Company, and indulges a hope that a French Com-
pany, which is about to be formed for a similar pur-
pose, will succeed. The Parisian Journalist is obviously
very ignorant of the cause of failure here, and if he knew
it, he would find in it no discouragement for the
French undertaking. We see no reason why both
the French and the English Companies may not
ultimately succeed.

The following are brief extracts :
PAnis, AuG. 13.—A letter from Carraccas of June 11
announces the death of M. de la Falun, Consul-General
and Charge d'Affaires of France to the Republic of Cen-
tral America. He died at La Guayra, where he was to
have embarked for Europe.
A cotton-factory at Fontaine Guerard (Seine Infe-
rieure), belonging M. Levavasseur, was burnt down on
Tuesday night. The loss is estimated at 400,000 francs.
The building was not insured.
A fire broke out on the 3d instant in the presbytery
of the village of Aresches, near Salins, and in an hour
ten houses were burnt down. The loss is estimated at
80,000 francs.

A letter from Madrid of the 6th instant says :—" The
Government is now engaged in the organisation of the
Custom-house officers as military bodies. This project
is attributed to General Rodil, who in the time of
Ferdinand VII. was Inspector-General of the corps of
Custom-house officers, organised as military, by the name
of carbineers of the coasts and the frontiers.
The commercial treaty between England and Portugal
has caused a great sensation in Spain. It is feared that
smuggling will daily increase.
A letter of the 6th from the frontiers of Catalonia,
published_in the Phare:des Pyrennees, has the following
news :

" The company of the 2d Regiment of Light Infantry,
cantoned at La Manera, having been informed that an
armed band had violated the French territory, went in
pursuit of it ; twenty-four men and five officers. fell into
the hands of our soldiers : one of the first was killed;
twenty-seven muskets or blunderbusses were taken.
" The gendarmes, assisted by a detachment of the
25th Regiment of Light Infantry, yesterday arrested 11
Carlists at Villeroga, beyond St. Laurent de Cordano;
among them are, Manus. their chief, and three brothers,
and a Nephew of Felip. No arms were found on theta."

The General Steam Navigation Company's Mail
Steam Packet Giraffe, Capt. R. Stranack, arrived at the
Brunswick Wharf, Blackwall, yesterday, at half-past
one from Rotterdam, having had a quick passage ; she
landed an unusual quantity of passengers, besides car-
riages, &c. The Soho had just previously arrived from
-Antwerp ; and although thu Wilberforce was taking in
her passengers fur Antwerp, among whom we thought
we observed Lord Campbell, Lord Fortescue, Sir J. Sey-
mour, Lady A. Churchill, Beresford Brooke, Esq., Col.
Gascoyne, and Capt. Holt, 11,N., the utmost regularity
prevailed.
