and to Adelaide Lodge.
The Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal were
taken their usual airing.

tain Meynell has succeded Captain Hood as the
Groom in Waiting on her Majesty.
The Duchess of Kent, the Prince of Leiningen,
Lady C. Dundas, and Sir G. Couper, will dine with
the Queen this evening.
The town has been excited to-day by a rumour
-that a person had been found within the Castle on
the ground floor, in the vicinity of the principal
entrance ; that when noticed, he said he had come for
his pension, and had walked from Woolwich for it.
He was searched, but it is stated that nothing of in-
terest was found upon him. He was attired in a
fustian jacket and trowsers, and at one time stated
that he entered the Castle in company with some
workmen. Mr. Speed, of the police, kept him in
custody last night, and took him to London this
morning by an early train.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge ho-
noured Sir George Scovell with a visit on Monday at
Sandhurst, and afterwards proceeded to the residence

Fnrranee's Hotel, Belgrave-street, yesterday, from
Malta.

TIIE APPARENT MOTIONS OF JUPITER AND SA..
TURN.—The retrograde motion of the planet Jupiter has
forsome time.past been very conspicuous, in consequence
of his proximity to the planet Saturn. Although Saturn
has been retrograding at the same time, yet his motion
is much slower than that of Jupiter. These planets will
be at their nearest approach to each other on the 9th day
of September next—the distance between them being
about five degrees and a half. After the 9th September,
when Jupiter will begin to move eastward, the gradual
separation of the planets will be as avparent as in the
approach at present.
llis Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, accom-
panied by the Duchess of Inverness, is expected to leave
Kensington Palace the second week in September, on a
visit to the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury at Alton
Towers, and thence to Newstead Abbey.

The intelligence from the disturbed districts is not
quite so encouraging as it was yesterday. At pre-
sent the most unfavourable symptoms are in the
neighbourhood of the Potteries, where the mob have
destroyed several houses, andeXhibited a more furious
and determined spirit of insubordination than has
been any where exhibited since the commencement
of the riots. But even these men, notwithstanding
their apparent recklessness and hardihood of purpose,
made no stand against the small military force by which
they were opposed, but dispersed with as much ex-
pedition as they •had assembled. A correspondent,
describing the conflict, says :—" On the mob nearing
the military, they flourished their bludgeons over
their heads, gave a cheer, and assailed them with
missiles. The order was given to fire, when one man
was shot dead, another was shot through the back,
and has been taken to the North Staffordshire In-
firmary, but is scarcely expected to survive. The
mob, perceiving the fatal effect of the firing of the
military, fled in the grehtest. consternation and speed,
in all 'directions." At Huddersfield, where the opera-
tives mustered in great force, and showed a spirit
somewhat similar to that displayed in the Potteries,
they were dispersed with equal facility by the troops.
"After the Riot Act had been read," says 'a corres-
pondent, "the soldiers were ordered to clear the
streets,„ind immediately acted on their instructions.
This was dice time for testing the courage of the mob,
who, so far from. stOWing'fight, tock to their heels,
and dispersed in all directions, in the greatest
possible confusion and terror." It is evident'
from these and other indications, that there
is a want of earnestness in the rioters,
as if, despite their refusal to return to work,
they were cowed by an instinctive consciousness of
the folly, and infatuation—not to say, madness—of
their proceedings. It would seem also, that, in many
instances, they are ignorant of what they are clamour-
ing for. In one quarter their demand is for " a fair
day's wages for a fair day's work ;" in anotlar, for
the Charter, and nothing but the Charter. Unsteadi-
ness of purpose is but too manifest among them ;.
there seems no controlling or guiding power.
Under such circumstances—there. being no very de-
cided or energetic spirit of resistance prevalent amcng
the rioters—we.are not without confident hopes that
reason and common sense will, in a day or two, exert
a wholesome influence over their minds, and convince
them that they themselves have as great an interest in
the maintenance •of order -as any of the classes
above them. Meantirrie much will depend on
the spirit in which the Military and civil authorities
exercise the duties entrusted to them. Firm, prompt,
and energetic, they must of necessity be ; but all
unnecessary severity shotild be avoided, or the mobs,
goaded to desperation, may exhibit a far more alarm-
ing aspect than they have yet shown. As a signi-
ficant sign of the times, we quote a portion of a cir-
cular issued by Messrs. BIRLEY and Co.—one of the
greatest manufacturing firms in Manchester, who.
have till now persisted in keeping their mills at work,
but are now, like the other mill-owners, compelled
most reluctantly to close them :—" We have thought
it right determinedly to resist the demands and
efforts of a lawless mob, and not to cease offering
employment to the hands accustomed to work at these
mills. In this course we have persisted from the day
when we were attacked, until the close of last
Friday and Saturday a large pro-
Fttion 'us toe hands" did hot come, ilLiu
we reluctantly close cur mills until we know
that we shall again have hands to, attend to the
machinery in the various departments." We quote
the following passage from the Times, in which it
will be seen that additional precautionary measures
are recommended, in the event of the disturbances as.
suming a more serious aspect than is the case
at present :—" If the crisis continues much longer,
extraordinary measures must be resorted to for the
reinforcement of the military and police; and all
good subjects should hold themselves prepared to co-
operate•with the authorities upon the first signal that
there is any occasion for their services. We trust
that the prevention of mischief will, be the great ob-
ject of all who have any force at their disposal."

The Paris papers of Monday have reached us.
Their leading articles are chiefly on the Regency
Bill, and the distressed condition of the working-
classes in England. Monday, being the Feast of the
Assumption, was observed as a strict holiday. There
was no business done at the Bourse or Banks, and
the Post-office closed at three o'clock. The subjoined
are extracts :

A letter from Oran, July 30, says :—" We have news
from the expeditionary column of General d'Arbouville,
which has run through the north of our province, and
executed several razzias against the Flitas, bringing back
a considerable bootY: Some of the chiefs have proposed
conferences, and two Kaids have submitted. The prin-
cipal chiefs, however, still hold back, claiming a right of
neutrality, and a sort of pre-eminence ;ever the chiefs
that have already come over to us. The Government can-
not admit those exceptions, asthey would engender discord
and would wound the pride of our allies. It is rumoured
that the Chiefs have named a day for ,a grand meeting,
to fix definitively their submission. As. soon as we shall
have reduced tins part of the province, we shall have
only to keep, our ground, for it will then be totally con-
quered, and the tribes, worn out by the long contest,
will scarcely be able to .make head against us for some
time. Under the Turkish regime the tribes of the Flitas
were the,most numerous, the most warlike, and the most
opulent in the Regency. Their Kaid was ono of the
most eminent men of the native militia, and the horse-
men were deemed the most adroit in manly exercises of
any in the plain. During the fetes of the Rhamadan
visitors came in from all parts to see them,. so celebrated
are they for their elegance, their rich costumes, and su-
periority of their manners. Their country, of great
extent and perfectly well cultivated, is one of the most
productive and picturesque of all the Regency. They had a
treaty of commerce which' placed them in connection
with the Sicilian -and Alakese traders, ,t0.....wh0m they
disposed of the surplus of their corn and cloths. It is
the remembrance of their ancient greatness that pre-
vents their imitating their neighbours in submitting.
As to attachment to Abd-el-Kader, they have none. The
last Kaid of the Flitas under the Turkish rule is still
alive. His name is Chermort, and since 1834 he has
been in the service of France. He is an old man, of un-
tarnished reputation, and much respected by the natives
On account of former grandeur. Ile is an extraordinary
example of Oriental resignation, for after quitting without
a murmur his command, he entered our Spabis as a
simple horseman. He received the cross for his bravery,
and is at present a corporal. His complete ignorance of
our language prevents his rising higher, but he seems to
care little about the matter, for he is altogether void of
ambition.”—Le Constitutionntl.

tion between the Duke of 'Wellington, the new Com-
mander-in-Chief, and James Graham, the Home

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
Letters from Manchester this morning represent
affairs there to be much in the same state, the people
quiet, but business wholly suspended. The tone ge-
nerally is more cheering, and it was expected that no
further outrages would occur. In opposition,
however, to these, the manufacturers at Leeds
give accounts of a most serious collision between the
troops and the mob,. and state that the greatest ex-
citement existed. This place' had hitherto been unin-
fluenced by the proceedings in other parts of the
county, and disturbance now has caused the greatest
alarm.
Scarcely any thing has been done in the Money
markets, but prices remain a§ yesterday, Consols
being 91i for Money and for the Account ; Three-
per Cents. Reduced, 92i 92}; Three-and-a-Half per
Cents. Reduced, 1001 101 ; New Three-and-a-Half

per Cents., 100 1001 ; Bank Stock, 170 171 ; India
Stock, 250 251 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New,
49 51 prem. •
In Foreign .Securities, Dutch Two-and-•a-Half per
Cents. have been sold at 521 ; the Five per Cents.,
1024 ; and Brazilian, 651.
No bargain in Mexican has been reported.
The Share Market has exhibited a revival from the
dull state in which it has been during the last few
days. London and Birmingham are marked 179 ;
Manchester and Birmingham, 25 ; North Midland,
571 581; Edinburgh and Glasgow, New, 34; Great
Western, 891; Cheltenham and Great Western, 241;
South Western, 62*; and Blackwell, 9.
The time bargains in these Bonds have been—Por-
tuguese Three- per Cents., 19 *• Spanish Five per
Cents., 20*; and the Three per dents., 204.
Accounts from Russia notice that from and after the
Ist January, 1843, an addition of per cent. will
be made to the rates of duty upon all produce
which may be imported into St. Petersburgh sub-
sequently to that day, or which may then be
remaining in the bonded warehouses. The proceeds
are to be applied to building a bridge across the
Neva,--which- it is stated will afford considerable
facility to the transit of merchandise.
By a chance vessel later intelligence has been re-
ceived both from Buenos Ayres and Monte Video.
These countries remained in the same disturbed state,
and each party were snaking increased preparations
for carrying on the war. In addition to the internal
troubles of the Argentine republic, Chili had placed
itself in a hostile position towards it, and prohibited
any communication on account of an alleged breads of
a treaty. Mercantile matters were exceedingly dull,
and a further fall had taken place in the prices of im-
ported goods, as well as in exports, for either of which
it was difficult to find purchasers. •
The rates of exchange were the same as last re-
ported-34- at Buenos Ayres, and 424 at Monte Video.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, AUG. 16.—After the reading in the Cham-
ber to-day of M. Dupin's report on the Regency Law,
M. L'llerbette proposed that a day should be fixed
for addressing interpellations to the Minister, and
having a solemn debate.
M. Guizot replied that he was at the orders of the
Ch tmbers.

The President then put to the vote the proposal of
M. L'lferbette, and but 15 Members of the Left rose
in support of it. Accordingly it was decided that
there should be neither debate nor interpellations.
M. Dupin's report made some changes in Art. 2
of the project of law. The Chambers are to be con-
voked in forty days after the King's death, not in
three months.

By Article 6, the King's guardianship is to be con-
fided to hi mother ; and in default of a mother to
hig grandmother.
