apprehended d man its London who, we un-
derstand, is charged with being a great promoter and
propagator o! what ii called the Spencean System.
He was taken to the Secretary of Slate's Office, and,
after undergriing a short in'vestigati.m, he *as com-
mitted to prison.

Yesterday morning Mr. Stcyctrea, the King's
Messenger, accompanied by Mr. Mil.t.so. a police
officer of Manchester, arrived in London by the
Manchester Mail, with ELlsli.l DIXON, charged with
seditious practices. He -was confined a short time in
Dow-street, and afterirards conveyed to the Secretary
of State's Office, where he underwent a short exa-
mination before Lord SIDNIOUTH, Sir NATHANIEL
CONANT/ and other Magistrates, after which he was
committed to Dridewell. Dixon was apprehended
at two o'clock on Wednesday, at work, as a cotton-
spinner, in a large manufactory at Manchester. He
has been a very active man, particularly as a spokes-
man, at all the public meetings which have been
held at that town, except the last. We did not learn
that papers of any importance were found on him, or
at his residence.

DNOISIOND, BAGULLY, OGDEN, and JortmsoN, who I
were brought to Town on 'Monday morning or late
on Wednehday evening, by Mt. VW( arid others of
the King's Messengers, from Manchester, underwent
a short examination yesterday, and afterwards were
again remanded. One of them is a•tailor, and was
living in one room with his wife and six children : he
lelt London about six months since to go mid live in
Manchester. There is no doubt that he was appre-
hessive of being taken into custody, as be had pre.
pared two retreats from the bask of the house where
he lived, by two large holes being merely filled up
with laths and plister r and his wife denied his being
at home when a Magistrate and Officers went to take
him, and said he had been out for three days ; but he
was taken in attempting to break through the lath
and plaster at the back of the premises.
A broker, charged with being Annected with the
Rioters at Manchester, was on Wednesday taken off
'Change under an arrest.

On Monday another schoolmaster, charged with
treasonable practices, was lodged in Glasgow jAil.
He was brought from the village of Carmunnock, a
few miles distant. Rewards of £5O are offered in the
Glasgow Pipers for the apprehension of J. M'Ewen,
who is described as a carding master in Gorbals, and
M'Dowal Pate, a weaver in Anderston, who are also
accused of treasonable practices and administering
unlawful oaths. A reward of 4/20 is alsoo3ered for
the seizure of one Moses Dawson, accused of sedition
only. Dawson is said to be the author of the sedi-
tious pamphlets, for the publication of which several
printers and booksellers are under bail. He is described

COMMITMENTS TO cHistas. CASTLE.

" Chew Chronicle Olio. 'Monday, i pat Ow. P. M.

" A coach, escorted by a strong body of that va-
luable corps, the Earl of Cuanza's cavalry, has just
pabsed this office, filled with the misguided men en-
gaged in the 'Ate seditious meetings at Manchester;

" An immense crowd followed the cavalcade to the
Castle, where the cavalry formed opposite the lodge,
and the prisoners dismounted : we never recollect
seeing a more wretched looking set of beings ; two
of :hem are mere boys. They are charged in the
commitment, with gamma* aid ranee: practicer.
They were apprehended at Heaton Norris, and tin-
der the recently pined Act, were committed to our
Castle. One hundred and sixty-four of their asso.
times are now confined in the New Bailey, Mahches-
ter. Six of tho oratorical members of this con-
federacy against the Government, are sent to Lon-
don under warrants from the Secretary of State.
a" Since writing the above we are sorry to add, that
numbers of Bike-heady have been found in Stockport,
and large heavy sticks, containing a dagger-shaped',
sharp piece a iron, about eight inches long. This
speaks in language too plain the Patine and Confirm-
:l2nel objects of these to whom they belonged."
al We have heard, (says the same Paper) and k is
with grief we notice it, that several of she misguided
people were severely Burt by the cavahy—the mob,
we understand, made a very ludicrous appearance ;
many of them baying their bed.blankets thrown over
their shoulders, and Listened in front over the breast
with a skewer. They were in fall marching order ;
toose, who could not procure knapsacks or haversacks,
having large bundles attached to their shoulders."

It is with regret we learn. from the Dublin Papers
received yesterday, that the banks of the Grand Ca-
nal continue tote, the scenes of outrage and distur-
bance. In a late tumult, one man was killed, and
several more were wounded. The dearth, or rather
we ought to say, the high price of previsions, is the
cause of the irritation and discontent in the minds of
the poor which have incited them to these lawless
crop of potatoes is described as having
bees most plentiful throughout Ireland last year, and
we must presume that the enforcing of the laws in all,
their seventy agaiast the ref/raters of this prime ne-
cessary of lite. would tend greatly to allay the restless
spirit maultested by-the pout. -
