MANciitstEß:

The accounts Which have hitched us this maiming
reprersent every thing as perft!ctly quiet: There was,
on Thursday morning, a slight attempt made at
Blackburn to induce the weavers again to quit their
work ; but, by the spirited conduct of the workmen
themselves the design wes completely frustrated.'
Some apprehend that in the pi CSCW.. prospect of quiet
there is something illusive. Let us hope that the
contrary will prove the fact, and that, as the Spin-
nets in that neighbourhood have manifested a dispo-
sition to return to their regular work, the Masters
sill pursue a conciliating, but steady line of conduct,
calculated to insure a continuance of the returned
tranquillity.
We are concerned however to observe, by two let-
ters from Preston, which we copy, from the Times of
this morning, that though the Wcave'ts at Manches-
ter have returned to their work, in other places there
is still some reason to be under alarm. It is knows
that throughout not only the whole of Lanca-
shire, but in Other districts, there was a general
understanding among this class, and a determination
to insist on an increase of wages. As the Masters
round Manchester have agreed to an increase, it
May be rea.oaably expected that the example will
be followed in other place-, and we therefore still hope
that the public peace will not be farther disturbed :
" 'MANCHESTER, SEPTEMBER 10.
" Nothing has occurred since yesterday to induce
even a doubt as to the prospect of order and quiet
which we now promise ourselves. Our Police is
quite satisfied that the danger is now perfectly over.
Every thing now is quite tranquil, and the great
mass of the Spinners returning, with as perfect order
and regularity to their different factories, as if their
labours had neither been suspended nor even inter-
rupted. One thing however has occurred, respecting
the propriety of which, there may be some difference
of sentiment :—the masters have stationed persons at
the doors of their respective factories, to prevent those
workmen who have made themselves most conspi-
cuous among the Turn-outs, and such es ate consi-
dered the most designing, from again entering the
factories. All access, either as workmen or as visi-
tors to any of their old acquaintances, is to be pe-
remptorily refused to them. This system having been,
as is confidently asserted, agreed to be followed up,
in its full spirit, by all the Masters, of course a con-
siderable number of the refractory workmen will
find it impoSsible to procure any employment, in
this place or in the neighbourhood. This visitation
comes on them in return for their pompous parades
through the streets of Manchester, and in face of the
very factories where they had received regular em-
ployment—even to the Exchange ; where their mas-
ters, and a concourse of Gentlernen- assembled for
commercial, pursuits, were obliged to witness their
bravadoes ; and in such a press as not only greatly to
annoy the foot passengers, but even, on some occa-
sons, to prevent the passage of carriages.
" We are all greatly rejoiced to find ourselves
again in a state of quiet to which we have so long
been strangers. Let us hope that nothing may soon
occur, again to disturb our peace."
ANOTHER LETTER.—SAME HAT T-
" At present we arc quiet here, and hut little ap-
prehension is generally entertained of a return of the
dangers to which we all considered ourselves greatly
exposed. Several of the Factories, as has already
been stated in the STAR, have again resumed their
manufacturing operations, numbers of the hands have
returned to their regular employment, and those who
az,:.• not yet at work now thew themselves in only
comparatively smell groups—not attempting to pa-
rade cur streets with that display of numbers which
induced a general state of anxiety not to be even con-
ceived by any but such as have been placed in simi-
lar circumstances.
" The contrast we now witness has produced a de-
gree of general cheerfulness to which we have for
some time been strangers ; but some among us arc
far from being convinced that the danger is over; it
is true, as I have already stated, that a considerable
number of the Spinners have returned to their work.
This very circumstance, even had their number been
smaller, was calculated greatly to allay the fears of
many—as affording a kind of presumptive evidence
that the neck of the conspiracy was broken ; but in
truth a very ghat number of them still stand out,
and there is reason to fear that they are supplied with
money by different fraternities of workmen through-
out the kingdom.
" In such circumstances, the wisdom or even pre
ilicy of a resolution, which is said to have been
adopted by the Masters, may be very much ques-
tioned: namely, not to give employment to those
whom they consider to have been the ringleaders—
not to permit them again to enter their premises,
but, by a kind of proscription, to compel them
entirely to quit this place and the neighbourhood.
This is called a necessary degree of firmness, and the
men, it is said, must be taught, by exemplary prit•.
nishinent, the danger to which they expose them-
selves, by lawless combiaations. Some of the older
heads among us disapprove, however, of this proce-
dure, and ask whether meetings on the part of the
masters, however privately conducted, for the pur-
pose-o; acting in concert in relation to their work"
men, are mere, justifiable or legal than meetings of the

sent wages, in consequence of the non-compliance of the mas-
ters, who appear in this neighbourhood to be giving to the pub-
lic as much as they can afford : still we are of opinion that the
wages will be pushed up equal to front 21 to 5 per cent. on the
cloth, and that before a beg time elapses ; as this advance has
been acceded to in different parts of the country, particularly in
those parts where the rate of wages was previously lower than
with us, and where they are now higher than we puy."

from his carriage, near the !louse of Correction, at
three o'clock, and proceeded directly to that prison,
and was conducted over it. Alter leaving the pri-
son, he proceeded through that improving city, and
dined at the King's Head Lin ; after which, his Im-
perial Highness left Gloucester, and proceeded to
the dclOittul Town of Chelteaham and arrived

At the ever memorable battle of Waterloo, a subal-
tern of the D:itish infantry was wounded and made
prisoner. Shortly after .his event, the French regiment
by whom he had been taken, gave way, leaving the
English officer and one 0f their own men, who was
wounded (his leg broken) on the gro..nd—tke
Frenchman deliberately .collected several of the
car ouch boxes of his fallen comrades, seating him
self arnon: them with his rifle. placing two or three
knapacks bellne him as a rest for his piece. In this
manner he loaded and fired no less than thirty or
forty rounds at an English regiment, which was
drawn up at a short distance in his front. brini;ing
down a man at every shot. At length the Brutish
reOmens charged over the ground wh(n'e this de:el-

after our informant was removed, and notwithstand-
ing every inquiry he could afterwards make, never
could discover what became of this French man, whom
he describes as quite a boy, not having been more than
1G or 17 years of age.
It appears from Lorentes' History of the Inqui-i-
-tion, that the marriage of Charles IL and the niece
of Louis XIV. was solemnized by an Auto-da-f6, in
which the shrieks and the smoke of 118 hurr::n br-
ings ascended to Heaven, to propitiate the Goo cl
mercy and of love. People could not conceive hew a
marriage begun sunder such pious works could he un-
fruitful. and another A uto-da-f6 was celebrated. It was
then said if }leaven was not to be appeased by so many
sacrifices, how dreadfully would Gen be enraged, if
he were deprived of that Auto-da-le. The last per-
son who suffered, was a woman. who was public's,
burned on the 7th November, I 7SI, at Seville. iince
that time the Inquisition has gene to work morn cun-
ningly ; men are no longer publicly denoted to the
flames, but they die unperceived in conceal:pent.—
Lorentes calculates that the Inquisition alone, in the
Spanish Peninsula, under the unintcrtyped dominion
of -5 Grand Inquisitors, sacrificed 4241,000 indivi-
duals. To appreciate the misery occasioned by this, it
must be borne in mind that every condemnation was
accompanied by comiscation of propez ty, and the dis-
honour cf the whole famiiy.
