We have much pleasure in stating, that the Ac-
counts which have arrived this Morning from Shields,
are of a favourable description. The Ship-owners
and Keelmen have had various conferences on the
subject of the claims advanced by the latter, and, we
are assured, that an arrangement has been come to
satisfactory to both parties, under which the Keelinen

are immediately to resume working. The accounts
we have seen make no mention of any verdict having
been found by the Coroner's Inquest on the body of
the man who was shot in the affray of Thursday.

We learn by a Letter from St. SalVador, dated
July 6, that about 1,000 troops had embarked from
St. Cathatine's, a like dumber from Pernambuco, and
a much larger force from Rio Janeiro. It is sup-
• posed, that their destination is Monte Video. Great
complaints are made in the Brazils against the Peo-
ple of the United States, for being concerned in the
Independent privateers, which have done so much
damage to the Portuguese trade.

Lord and Lady CASTLEREAGH arrived yesterday
at their House in St. James's-square, from their seat,
North Cray, Kent.
Lord F. LENNOX arrived in town, on Saturday
evening, from Montreal. On Sunday morning his
Lordship left town for ,his brother's, the Duke of
RICHMOND'S seat, Malcolm, Sussex.
Colonel FREEMAN, Major and Mrs. MORRIS, de.
scended in the divinOell last week, off Plymouth
Dock, and remained under the water nearly an hour.

A remark of the celebrated Mrs. Ceexze, deceased,
to a young Gentleman now living, who presented her
ith such parts of fizza's Cyclopedia as were then
published, is especially applicable to present circum-
stances. Opening the book at the name Adam, she
observed that doubt was thrown on the authenticity
of the Scriptures; she closed it, and declined accept- 1
ling the set of books, in these words :—" I consider
that, as a Christian, I am in the situation of a person
possessing good estate, and it is not my interest to
endeavour to find a flaw in my title to it."
We have much pleasure in quoting the following
very just and forcible observations from a Paper
which is not much in the habit of taking a part in
political discussion:
" When eile Conatitution is threatened with sacrificf between

two Parties, what serious reflections must fill, if not oppress,

every mind accustomed to the least contemplation! How must
passing events alarm or paralyse the stoutest hearts! The Mi-
nisters °bases a proud and haughty tone. If they were divine-
right men, they could not more obstinately shield themselves
behind Royal Proclamations, blinbterial Circulars, and vigour
fully equal to, if not beyond, the law. They seem to be equally
unbending and unforgiving; and esperienee itself seems to be
lon upon them. They learn nothing, and they Suet nothing,
Aa all law ought to be founded upon reason, so will wile men
slim their wisdom according to citcumstances ; and the men
who would conduct themselves in the same manner in calms as
in storms—in sunshine as in vain—would be deemed consistent

fools.' But defeats apparently teach our Ministers nothing.

Paves. and the Russian boors were thrashed over and over
again by Crust= XIL and his troops, but at last even they
were thumped into a knowledge of their strength; but our
Ministers, however, seem to acquire no energy, no ability,
no 'vantage ground,' by accumulated discomfiture. They
issue a Circular from the Home Secretary of State's Office,

pr.xfaioting that Magistrates and the like are Judges of Libel;
their Staintaan writes for them, indicts for them, nay, files in.

formations rc-oSicio, and then retires to hapless Cakdonia's*
land; they suspend the Habra' Copts Act, imprison many per-

sons, and thereby make many enemies ; they attack writers
of some name, who appear in proprisperseno, and drive them
frbna the field; and lastly, they attack pair aewswenders—.

but find the grave of this sort of vigour in the Grand Jury
Boom of the Sessions House, Clakermell Green! As tal
the reasonableness of attacking these venders, the Regicides
might as well have brought line' Quails the Ent%
tailors, shoemakers, and footmen, to the block. Hut
lstt the Ministers recollect, and before it is too late, that,
as was truly observed at the late York Meeting, they cannot
imprison a whale Nation, nor stifle a whole People's voice...—
And much lest chance have they with ma Puss, the liberty
of which is our birth.right—a right which is jowly esteemed
the firmest bulwark of the Mertes of this vestry. As the
first Number of The North Braes observe*, in the year ilgs,

Trade here is now as fiat as ever, the briskness,
which we lately experienced, having been extremely
temporary, and confined wholly to such articles ar
are called for, at this time of the year, for the Home
Market. We have every prospect of a most mise-
rable winter, both as it respects the distresses of the
working classes, and the rankling spirit of enmity
which has been excited in the minds of a large por-
tion of the population, by the late melancholy events.,
The adjournment of the Inquest on the unfortunate
Lees, has added fresh fuel to the popular irritation,
which has since been increased by the delays in the
proceedings in the case of Meagher,the trumpeter, who
shot the two innocent men in Deansgate ; delays which
the people (perhaps fiery improperly) ascribe to par-
tiality.—ln one word, the most considerate people
here are terrified at the prospect before us. HEAVEN
grant that Parliament may adopt measures calculated
to convince the People that the laws of England are
yet powerful enough to stretch out protection to the
meanest of the People, and to redress every wrong,
by whoever inflicted.

NEW BAILEY.
This mornjag Ann. Scott, the woman who was ap-
prehended oh the 16th August last, in Deansgate,
was brought into Court to be bailed. This woman
has remained in confinement ever since the 16th of
August, and the cha against her was for *citing
to riot ind disturbance. On the day of the Meeting
she was in Deansgate; at. about seven o'clock in the
eveningi. and was taken up by Ashworth, a
baker, resi4ing in Manchester, near Mr. Wood's, hat-
ter, inDeansgate, for throwing bricks and stones at
the constables, and for crying out, " D—n them ;
kill them." She was;, immediately after her appre-
hension, immured for fiVe nights and-kelays in a damp
cell in he New Bailey, in .consequence of which she
was attacked with an inflarnmaticat4n her bowels and
a burning fever. In a state almost apprOaching to,
death she was removed to the Hospiialiwbere she has
remained ever since in a very weak stateeilfeaith...
At about one o'Clifick she was brought up before
Mr. Marriot, the Magistrate; and Mr. Atkinson, the
solicitor in her behalf, tendered bail. •
Mr. Marriot desired Mr. Millie, the clerk, to see if
the bail were good.

The names of Mr. Dracup and Mr. Candinett were
then tendered, 'and they both appeared in Court. It
appeared that they had been bail for other persons ;
the former for Mr. Wroe, we believe, the Editor of
The Manchester Observer and the latter five various
times in other causes. They gave bail for this poor
woman, in £2O each, to appear at the next Quarter
Sessions at Manchester, to answer anv indictment
which may be preferred, and to keep thi peace in the
mean time. The other parties Were, however, not
bound over to prosecute.

Ann Scott then addressed the Magistrate.—Will
you let me say a word, if you pleme, Sir?
The Magistrate.--I think whatever you have to
say, had better be said to the Magistrates at the Ses-
sions ; it will have more effect. •

' Prisoner.—Please your NYorship, I was knocked
down by the officer who apprehended me.
Maitistrate.—You had better be silent at present.
You will be heard subsequently.
Mr. Atkinson also advised her to be silent.
The woman was then dismissed.
Her husband is a very respectable workman, in
the employ of a Mr. Pickford, a carrier, who lives at
No. 5, Liverpool-road. He did not appear in Court
on this occasion.

Nothing material will transpire here until the exa-
mination of Meerghet, on Wednesday next. It is be-
lieved the Manchester Session will Commence on
Monday next.

A most atrocious attempt has been made at Bol-
ton by two men, one of them wearing a white hat,
to break into a room in which were deposited arms,
&c. belonging to the 15th (King's) Hussars. One of
the robbers fired a pistol at a soldier who disturbed
him, and he is shot through the hand. A reward of
£lOO is offered for the discovery of these assassins.—
Manchester Chronicle.

On Friday, the Bth instant, Judah and Joupli Solo-
mon, who were convicted at the last Maidstone As-
sizes of being accessary to a burglary committed in
Sheerness, left the Bellerophon hulk, and were shipped
on board the Prince Regent convict ship, for New
South Wales. Their feelings were sensibly affected
at leaving their native country, particularly Judah,
who had long resided at Sheerness. On Thursday
last, the ceremony of divorcement, according to ;he
Jewish custom, took place at the Fountain Inn, Sheer-
ness, between Joseph Solomon and bis wife. It was
performed by OW High Priest and Chief Rabbi, who
arrived for the purpose, in a coach and four. The
husband was permitted to come on shore, under an
escort, and in irons ; and, after the ceremony, he re-
turned on board, to suffer that expatriation his guilt
has brought upon him.
Jaw Taz..—The following ludicrous circumstance,
which took place at Mayeace, in ipos, led to the
abolition of the Jew Tax in Germany :...Some Jan
went to the opposite side of the Rhineisbm Maylsoeb,
and were compelled to pay the Jew Tax. On Eta
making a representation to the Prefect, Jaasrßou
Sr. Maws, he retaliated by anteing all the Chris-:
clans who arrived from the other Bank of the Rhine,
saying, oi Your Government arrests French citizens,
and makes them pay a tax because they do not believe.
in Jugs CRAW ; I now arrest you, and make you
pay a tax, because you do not adhere to the Law of
Mona." The French Government protects all her
subjects, whether Christians, Jews, ot Mahometans.
In consequence of this affair, the Jew Tax was abo-
lished in every part of Germany,
