THE SPINNERS.

...

The accounts from Manchester are rather of a fa-
vourable nature: the vigilance and spirit, but at the
same time laudable moderation of the Magistrates,
have prepared the way, it is to be hoped, for a happy
result. The agitators. have become alarmed, and are
now more cautious in their'instigations. The poor
men who have been deluded by their artful incite•
ments and inflammatory harangues, begin to feel'
the miseries• from want of employment, and the ap-
prehensions of increasing privations : they are now
gradually returning to their duty.

The PRINCE REGENT has presebted his beautiful
Shetland poney, with a superb garden phaeton, to the,
Marchionecs of HERTFORD.
Sunday, the Grand Duke MicaAgt. arrived at
Glasgow.
Lord CASTLEREAGH is expected to set off in the
first week of September, to attend the Congress at

Aix-la-Chapelle. -
It was a mistake to say that Mr. ELLIs accom-
panies Lord CASTLEREAGH to Aix-la-Chapelle. The
fact is, he goes to the Cape of Good Hope, as Secre-
tary to Lord CHARLES SOMERSET.
The Marchioness of HASTINGS, so far from being
on her passage to Calcutta, is literally living a soli-
tary life in the neighbourhood of Cheltenham.
The Earl and Countess CRAVEN and family left
their house in Charles-street, Berkeley-square, yester-
day morning, for their seat, Hampstead Lodge, Berks.
Lord CLIFTON is arrived at' his father's (the Earl 1

The marriage of Miss WELD, only daughter of I
Mr. WELD, of Lulworth Castle, Dorsctshire, with the
Hon. limn CLIFFORD, eldest son of Lord CLIFFORD'
will be solemnized towards the end of this month, in
Paris.
ENGLISII OPERA.--The new pleasant Opera of
Jealous on all Sides, was repeated last night with in-
finite applause, and, as we have already observed, pre-
mises to be a favourite of the Public. The House
overflowed with elegant and fashionable company.
DREADFUL FIRE AT CONSTANTINOPLE.—In the
night of the 7th ultimo, a fire broke out within thel
gate of Odan ICapussa, which destroyed near three
hundred houses and a small mosque. It was the
more destructive, as it caught the magazine of a
dealer in powder and fire-works, Which caused a ter-
rible explosion, and by which near one hundred per-
sons miserably perished, and many *ere much in-
jured. The house of the Mufti, which is dear the
lapot, would certainly have been destroyed, had not.
the Sultan in person gone to the place, and by en-
couraging the firemen, many of whom lost their lives
by their exertions, and three times averted the threa-
tening danger. The fire broke out in the house of a
pastry cook, and though there was no wind, spread
with incredible rapidity.
BeNArAnre.—The Public will be pleased to learn
that the translation of the Private Anecdotes of the
Court and Family of Napoleon has at length appeared.
It has been justly observed of BONAPARTE, that the
MAN is less known than the HERO, and all that has
hitherto been published concerning his domestic life
in some measure partakes of the nature of Romance.
The majority of those who have written en NAPO-
LaoN scarcely know him by sight, they have judged
him by his public actions, they have merely sketched
the chief individual of the state, and have frequently
ken of him as the Abbe de Vertot spoke of the
spoken of him as the Abbe de Vertot spoke ot the
Siege of Malta • but it is evident that the Author -a
this Work resided in NArotzoa's Palace, accompa-
nied the Court in its journies, and was in fact an ac-
tual witness of the private and domestic life of- the
Ex-Emperor, and being on an intimate footing with
all the individuals of the Court, has been able to col-
lect information of the most curious nature. The sale
of the original, we understand, has been strictly poi-
hibited in. France, woUbly On account °flu occa-

We regret to state, that the last arrivals from the
Mauritius represent the losses sustained by the Mer-
chants at that Colony, from the last hurricane, as
extremely severe. In consequenie of the vessels
being lost in the port, before the policies of insurance
too); effect, the individual injury has been conside-
rably aggravated. This calamity, so speedily after
the dreadful conflagration of Port Louis, combined
With strong dissentions in the Civil Administration
of the Government, has imparted a general gloom
and despondency.
At the commencement of the herring fishing, in
Caithness, this season, twelve barrels were sent trom
Thurso to Leith, from whence they were exported to
Ilamburgh, where they were sold for One Hundred
and Forty-four Guineas. A single herring sold at
the extraordinary price of 2s. Bd.
The herring fishing at Wick, which, in its early
stage promised such unfavourable results, assumed a
favourable turn on Tuesday sennight, when the boats
brought in eight crans on an average. On the Wed-
nesday they averaged fourteen crans, and on the
Thursday about twenty crans per boat, being one of
the largest fishings that has been made for these
several years.
Another seizure has been made in Newry, of poi-
sonous Imitation Tea. This is cutting at the root of
that nefarious traffic, which the Irish Commissioners
of Customs are doing their utmost to put down.
Monday se'nnight a respectable and wealthy far-
mer was committed to Carlow county jail, charged

Rev. JAMES. MAGRATII, WALTER. BLACKNEY, and
ltonsttx JACKSON, Esqrs. Magistrates.

The Sligo Journal asserts that a man, of the name
of Sheridan, had his skull beaten almost to pieces by
some villains, who afterwards flung him'into a bog-
hole, from which he was taken out lifeless, but some
time after was sufficiently recovered to tell by whom
he was murdered !
~it is ascertained that the Ecclesiastical Congress of
Frankfort has completed the Project fur organizing
the Catholic Churches of the different States, whose
Sovereigns took part in the conferences. There is
hereafter to be one Archbhhoprick for 800,000 Ca-
tholic inhabitants, and one Bishoprick for 300,000.
The revenue of the former will be fixed at 20,000
florins, independently of a palace ; and that of the
latter at from ten to 12,000 florins. The stipend of
the Canons is to be 1800 florins, with convenient
apartments. There will be established one Bishop
for the kingdom of Wirtemburg only, and another
for the Grand Duchy of Baden.
Letters from Kentucky (America) furnish details
on the state of the Missions of that country. Upon
the river St. Lawrence, near the Lake Huron, 5000
French have no more than one Priest. At Vincennes,
on the river Werbash, which falls into the Ohio, about
1000 French have no Priest whatever. In the State of.
Ohio, there are 200 German Catholic families. M.
Flagel, as Bishop of Bardstown, has recently exercised
his spiritual administration. k.David, Grand Vicar
of M. Flagel, has been nominated his Coadjutor;
