"His Royal Higliness was pleased to return the fol-
lowing mot gracious ansWer :
" I thank you for your dutiful Address.
U The sentiments which you have expressed of deep regret for
the severe loss which the country has sustained by the death of
Mr. Ptrceval, of a high sense of his eminent talents and virtues,
and of abborrence of the atrocious act s bleb has closed so nse•
1 ful and exemplary a life, are most consonant to niy own opinions
and feelings.
" My mind is relieved from the most painful sensations by the
proof afforded upon the trial of the auanin, that thisodreadful
act was not connected with any sanguinary system ; and I trust
that our annals will not again be sullied by a aline, which the.
generous and manly character of the British people timaever held
I in peculiar detestation.
Lie" In reeommending to Parliament to make a suitable pewi-
t% for Ws Widow and Family, I have discharged a duty to tLe
people committed to my charge, and I am gratified by the assu-
rances that this act of justice towards departed merit will be se-
conded by the unanimous voice of the nation.
An Address from the Magistracy of-the Count).

PEisEvAL, was also presented to his Royal High.

'A whimsical accident took place yesterday at the
Levee. The two great State Lords with white staves,
the Marquis c f HtatTroltD and Earl srt CnOLMoRDISA
LEY, being tired standing on awlr legs in tire Levee
Room, sat down together On an or-mole table. The
weight was tco great fur the flimsy French fabric. It
broke &awn, and nrought the Lord Cliamberlain, and
Lord Steward rf the Household, with a crash to the
ground. At that instant Lord Sri-Aim:Tit ran up to
assist the mighty Peers, when at the instant an inkstand
broke and dashed all its contents over the Lord Presi-
dent's hands. He held them out as a piteous sight $
but immediately said with good humour—,6 Well 1
this is unlucky—l thought at least I should haver
gone out of office with clean hands."
Letters were received yesterday from Manchester,
which communicate the unpleasant intelligence, that •
during the last few days several violent outrages had
been committed by the Laridote. No fewer than three
persons had been shot in different parts of the country,
without any discovery or even suspicion of the mur-
derers. Besides these atroci•ies, a gentleman, ob-
noxious to the hatred of the Luddites, was attacked
in a lane, in the middle c f the d#y, by several men
who were stranger, to hint: after receiving a v,ileut
blow on the head with a large raone, he had tke good
fortune to escape by the swiftness of his horse. A •
working man, who hid been mistaken for another
person that had glace information against the Led.
dims, was taken to a coal•pit han Intent of preei-
pitating him to the bottom, when it sv,s di coursed
that he was not the man whom the assaiiarns were
in quest of; and in consequence he was suffered to
depart, without sustaining any injury. All possible
means have been tried to caduce the Laufaktoo is pores
to divulge the whole extent of their plan, end to im-
peach their zing-leaders, but v.7,theat effect. ,trerne
