LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY, THURSDAY
EVENlNG.—Yesterday forenoon, about ten o'clock,
the 73d Regiment, under the command of Colonel
Love, arrived at the terminus of the London and Bir-
mingham Railway en route to Leeds. They started
from Woolwich, about eight, in three steam-boats,
and landed at Waterloo Bridge. On passing through
the streets they were followed by a large crowd, who
amused themselves by hooting and hissing at them.
On arriving at the railway they were divided into two
bodies, the train not being sufficient to take the whole
at once, "and at half-past ten the first portion started.
an'hour after, another train having been got ready,
the rCmainder were sent off.

mand of Captain Dennis, consisting of 275 rank and
file, arrived at Deptford Dockyard, on board of the
Eclipse steamer, from Deal via Dover, and were
billetted through the town. This morning they pro-
ceeded to the ...:outhampton Railway, at Vauxhall, on
their way to Gosport, for the purpose of relieving the
troops ordered to the manufacturing districts. , The
Edipse proceeded back to Dover immediately after the
debarkation of the troops, to bring up the head-
quarters of the Regiment, consisting of 355 rank and
file, under the command of Colonel Mitchell, which is
expected this evening, and will also proceed to-morrow
by 66 same conveyance to Gosport.

Winchester on Tuesday, where it was joined by the
Other divisions of the regiment the following day,
when the entire regiment proceeded to town yesterday
by the South-Western Railway. On their arrival at
the Euston station, they were immediately provided
With billets, which had been obtained the previous
day, orders having been forwarded to Mr. Carter, the
Superintendent of the S division, to that effect. The
accommodation for the men will be afforded solely by
the licensed victuallers in the parish of St. Pancras.
The distance of some of the billets from the Euston
station will be above two miles. The regiment pro-
ceeds by railway to-day (Friday) to Bradford.

QUEEN'S THEATRE.
''Mr. Reeve and Miss Brooke, two old favourite
performers at this louse, took a benefit here last.
night, on which occasion a considerable novelty was
roduced in the play of Hamlet. The melancholy
thine was impersonated by Mr. Wellington, an ama-
teur, whom We had pleasure in noticing sometime ago
in the character of the Stranger at the City of London
Theatre. We think we may safely say, that amongst
amateurs we do not know Mr. Wellington's equal.
His yoke is'neither strong nor very harmonious, but
the conception of the character was excellent, thdiat-
titudes Were both graceful and striking, and, above
all, the reading was correct ; and frequent involuntary
bursts of applause testified the approbation of the
audience, despite the defects of an ill-managed voice.
We cannot afford time and space to notice the particular
Points, in which Mr. Wellington excelled or failed,
but we may notice .the banquet scene, the closet
scene, aid the last scene, as those in which Mr. Wel-
lington was particularly successful. Mr. Melborne,
Who has spent many years in the service of the pub-
lic, enacted the part of Horatio in a most creditable
manner. We wish we saw him oftener. Mr, Reeve
Was an excellent Laertes, and in the last scene, with
Mr. Wellington, was particularly effective. Mr. Ab-
bot was a good king, and Mrs. Parry sustained her
well-earned reputation as the queen. Manders was a
capital first grave-digger, and the other roles were
respectably enacted.
The remainder of the performances consisted of
catching an Heiress and The French Refugee, in
'Nhieli Mr. J. Parry, Mr. L. Goldsmid, Mrs. Honey.

THE DISTURBANCES IN THE
MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS.

(From the Second Edition of the Manchester Guardian

of Wednesday.)
:MANCHESTER.

In- this town up to this hour (two o'clock), all re-
mains perfectly quiet, _and , has been all the day;
with the exception of the attempt <of a number of
people to stop two establish/1.-Lents near. Pendleton,
in both of which the rioters were most signally de-
feated. The authorities continue their watchful su-
pervision of the borough and its neighbourhood ; the
police, special constables, and patrols, are on duty,
and every precaution is taken to guard against any
surprise.
This morning a number of mills, factories, dye-
works-,- and other establishments, resumed work in
this town and neighbourhood. The excavators and
labourers employed on the works of the Extension
Line of the Manchester. and. Leeds Railway, who
were compelled to 'turn-out on Friday, also resumed
work this morning.
The Delegates resumed their sitting this morning.
After their dispersion last evening, they issued an
address to the trades, which was placarded on the
walls. • The following is a popy
Liberty—To the Trades of, Manchester and the
surrounding Distriets.—Fellow workmen—We hasten
to lay before you the paxamount importance of this
day's proceedings. The Delegates from the surround-
ing districts have been more numerous at this day's
meeting than they were at yesterday's ; and the spirit
of determination manifested for the people's rights has
increased every, hour. In consequence of the unjust
and unconstitutional interference of the Magis-
trates, our proceedings were abruptly brought to a
close by their dispersing the meeting, but not until
in their very teeth we passed the following resolu-
tion Resolved, that the delegates in public meet-
ing assembled do recommend to the various constitu-
encies which.we represent to' adopt all legal means to
carry into effect the People's Charter. And further,
We recommend that delegates be sent through the
whole of the country, to endeavour to obtain the co-
operation of the middle and working classes in carry-
ing out the resolution of ceasing labour until the
Charter be Made the law of the land:—Englishmen,
legally determine to maintain the peace and well-
being of society, and show, by your strict adherence
to our resolutions, that we are your true representa-
tives. Do your duty—we will do ours. We meet
again to-morrow ; and the result of our deliberations
will be fully laid before you.
"ALEkANDER HUCHINSON, Chairman.
"CHARLES STUART, Sec., pro tem.
" Manchester, Aug. 16, 1842."
The Delegates are still sitting, and we have not
yet heard what resolutions have been adopted by
them this morning.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING, SEVEN
o'Cwoc.—Leach, the Chartist agitator, has been
arrested at his residence in 04-street. On a copy of
the seditious placard beinglaid before the borough
Magistrates, an information was yesterday laid against
the printer,- who was apprehended. From the state-
ment of various persons made before the Magistrates,
a warrant was issued for the apprehension of Leach,
who calls himself the "President of the Executive
Council of the National Charter Association," and
who keeps a small book-shop. At eleven o'clock,
Superintendent Beswick, accompanied by other able
officers, proceeded to his residence, where they found
and apprehended him. Mr; Beswick said he had a
warrant against him, which he would read if he
wished. Leach said hi did. Upon which Mr. Bes-
wick read it, but he made no observations. On
being searched the only thing found in his pocket
was a paper on' which was written with pencil,
" Please show the benefits that will be derived from
the Charter when we get it.—W. White." He was
then removed in safe custody to the Town-hall. A
warrant was also issued by the county Magistrates
against a man of the name of John Gear, who is said
to be receiving 355. per week for acting as Secretary
to the Dyers' Union in this town. The warrant was
placed in the hands of Inspectors Lipsett and May-
bury, who, accompanied by a detachment of police,
proceeded to his residence
.in Sickville-street, Port-
land••street. .On obtaining an entry they found that
the man had escaped, but they took into custody an
old man who was on the premises, and seized a
number of papers, which they conveyed to the Town-
hall along with their prisoner. Dr. M`Douall, for
whose apprehension also a warrant has been issued,
has, it is understood, left the town ; as also Feargus
O'Connor, who came in a*cab - this morning, accom-
panied by the Rev. Mr. Scholefield, to the station of
the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, and booked
his way through to London: ''
Another address from the delegates has been circu-
lated round the town, of which the following is a copy :
" TO THE PEOPLE OF MANCHESTER AND THE SUR-

ROUNDING DISTRICTS.
"Fellow citizens,—Your delegates are again at
their posts. Faithful to the trust you have reposed in
us we are determined to stand firm and united till we
carry into full effect the resolution agreed to yes terday."
"The following resolution was carried unanimously :
" Resolved that we recommend the trades of Man-
chester and the surrounding districts immediately to
form Committees in their respective localities to carry
out the resolution we came to yesterday, with in-
structions to issue bills and give us credit until such
time as they resume work again. In the meantime
we most earnestly call upon you to send in your con-
tributions to the Executive Committees unanimously
elected by the Delegates this morning assembled.
Time is precious, decision and energy are most es-
sentially necessary at the present moment; for the
future we shall be governed by events. A short time,
we are convinced, will prove that this movement is
national. Rally round the standard you have raised
stand firm—do your duty—and we will do ours."
(Signed by the Chairman and Secretary.)
After the separation of the meeting of Delegates,
in Tib-street, 'yesterday, another meeting was held
at a room in Brown-street, usually occupied as a lec-
ture room by the Chartists. At this meeting the fol-
lowing singular resolutiv was adopted :
" That we recommend to the trades of Manchester
and its surrounding districts immediately to appoint
Committees to act in unison' with the resolutions
passed yesterday, whose prin':ipal duty shall be to
issue bills, payable within a certain time, to be given
to provision dealers, and others, who may be disposed
to give us credit till we resume our labours. In the
meantime we most earnestly call' upon you at once to
send in your contributions to the Executive Com-
mittee."

At this meeting the representative of the plasterers
stated that the painters and joiners had resumed work,
and that as the plasterers had good wages, and had
no quarrel with their employers, they had resolved to
return to their work on Monday morning. They
were of opinion that the Charter never could be ob-
tained unless the people returned to their employ-
ment. A long conversation ensued as to the means
of defraying the necessary expenditure connected with
meetings of the delegates, and also as to the means of
providing subsistence for those who refused to return
to their work: Several speakerS wished, on the 'part
of their constituents, to go. in;,. .as they had no honest
means of supporting themselves • and their families
Until the charter was obtained; but others expressed
their determination at all hazards to remain out of
work until the Charter was obtained. Some dele-
gates were represented as misrepresenting to their
constituents the proceedings of the delegates, and
others were stigmatized as the instruments of the
Anti-Corn-law League. A. delegate, who represented
the sawyers of Manchester, increased the despondency
of the meeting by reading a resolution of his consti-
tuents to the meeting, that as the carpenters and
joiners had returned to work they thought it useless
to remain out any longer. The greater part of the
meeting appeared discouraged' at the apathy of their
constituents, whose contributions were both few
and small. Another delegate taunted the company
that all their movements were characterised
by cowardice, inconsistenCy, and great want of prin-
ciple ; that they were therefore forsaken and unsup-,
ported by the constituencies who had elected them ;
that they were now virtually defunct ; and that having
no resources to rely upon, and having done nothing
but wasted their time in words and unprofitable
debates, without accomplishing any thing useful, or'
affording even probable grounds for supposing that
even ultimatelyethey would adopt prudent, practica-
ble, or even sal& measures, what reason had they for
expecting either the sympathy or support of the
working classes? The greatest discordance and want
of unanimity were apparent. in the meeting, which
adjourned until to-day, though no time and place
were specified.
_

To-day a few dye-works, machine-makers' and
millwrights' shops, and some other minor establish-
ments have recommenced work. Only two cotton
factories have resumed work, nor is there at present
any prospect of any other, the hands generally de-
manding either an advance of wages or some other
concession from their employers. In Salford nearly
all the dye works and print works are in full opera-
tioh, nor has any attempt been made to stop them.
There is now every probability of the speedy disso-
lution of this outbreak.
The authorities continue sitting at the Town-hall,
and the same active intercourse takes place with all
the civil and military stations as last week, notwith-
standing the prospects of danger are far remote. The
Borough Magistrates sit in the ,Boroughrenre's room,
tho county Magistrates in the gas board-roam, Ind
General fir William Warre and his staff at the York
Hotel. , The committee of employers meet daily at
the Chamber of Commerce.
The accidental delay of a railway train at the
Chelford station, on the Manchester and Birmingham
Railway, this morning, which did not arriv.? at its
usual hour, occasioned very gr.,at apprehension, and
a considerable crowd assembled at the terminus to
ascertain the cause of its detention. It should have
