• Re have received private letters from Manchester,
written yesterday morning, extracts from which we
subjoin.. They exhibit symptoms of returning tran•
quillity in the disturbed districts; and, when the active
and successful means adopted in the Mesropulis to afford
relief to the distressed is made known to them, we
have no doubt they will desist from their lawless
proceedings• Some outrages were committed even on
Sunday, by a mob which assemblei at Taadle-hill, who
destroyed thirty-five looms belonging to Messrs. MILLS
and Titans, at High Crompton.
Letters from Leeds state that the Ripon, Knares-
borough, and neighbouring Yeomanry, were on their
way to Lancashire. The following are letters which we
received this morning from our Correspondents at
Manchester :

• "At the meeting of the distressed weavers on Sunday morning,
at • nate Hill, near Middleton, it is said, lots were cast whether
the power loom factory of Messrs. Daniel Burton and Sea, situate
at Middleton, or the ass at Crompton, should be then destroyed?
the lot falling in favour of Messrs. Daniel Bones and Son► conse-
quently the looms at the ether factory were destroyed, and, I ow
informed, in greater numbers than quoted in my letter of yesterday:
Early yesterday morning, the said power loom factory," Mears.
Daniel Burton and Son was protec•ed by a small snlitney tweak
which preserved the property, and the peace of the town and taw
populous neighbourhood. To• snuck praise cannot be bestowal"
upon these valuable men ; they hate .performed much duty under
very trying circumstances since Thursday last; nor can too much
be said on the valuable and praiseworthy services of the Snwstgk•
recto and Constables of alas cbeeter and Salford. The all seas
she conduct themselves as Englishmen, as Christian, as patriots.
Since Thursday last, there has been an unfelt* of every thing that is
valuable, and it must be highly pleasing so every lover of his King
and Country. The power loom factory of Messrs. D. Burton and
Son was, a few years age, threatened to be destroyed, but, by the
timely arrival of the Ravi Scots Greys at that period, it was saved.
The populous town and neighbourhood of Bliddkton is quiet. It
is said, on Sunday some destruction to power looms was done in
the neighbourhood of Oldham, which shall be noticed in my next.
try the iltnely arrival of the nUlitaty the buildings were saved. AU
is quiet here. The Resolutions at Bolton, noticed in yesterday's
letter, do great credit to thrown: it is a small augmentation to
the prke of weaving. I cannot this morning hand a copy s they
are worthy of being copied ince every Newspaper in the Kingdom.
They embrne ten Resolutions, highly proper at this important
juneture.—l just learn by persons now coining to market, much
mischief has been done near Oldham.—half--past Eight. Business
Is very slack."
APITIIRS LIVITOI, DATE) Distocusnsa, May 2.

The people herr are in a very unsettled state, not that we are
In any danger, either In our persons or property, but the wants of
the people arc so pressing, that it behoves every one to be at his
post to afford whatever relief it may be in his power to bestow.
Toe will probably hear vet y exaggerated accounts of the dis-
turbances in this quarter; it is true that much mischief has been
One at some mills in this county, and at one mill in this town,
which was taken by surprise on Thursday evening. We have now,
however, abundance of troops in the town, and such arrangements
bave.been made by the Magistrates and General Ilarrie that we are
quite secure against all d.predations. The greatest difficulty we
labour under is to provide subsidence far the unemployed people.
h the course of a few months, or perhaps sooner, we have every
reason to expect a revival in 'he demand for our fabrics; in the
meantime the distress of our people through absolute want is exces-
sive, aadAksoels extent as to be spite beyond the means of the.
saber inhabitants folly to relieve. lam glad to see a subscription
is commenced In London in aid of our own very limited ro.ources;
it will be thankfully 'shelved. I ant happy to say that in one par-
ticular case a Gentleman has been fortunate enough to keep all his
own people in constant employment, and from the contracts be has
made will be able to keep them in that conditions for two months to
come: they are scawell off that they have subscribed handsomely
forth, relief of their neighbours."
