MANCHESTER. SEPTEMBER 96;
" The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of CLIME*
arrived here this aftertiodn ; to-morrow miming he
will preach a sermon at the Collegiate Church, iiheu
a collection is to be made, for thi benefit of the Ra-
tional Schools, founded on Dr. Bor.'s the
afternoon his Lordship will holds confirmation at
St. Peter's, for the benefit of those childrcrrtmployed
in the cotton factories, who would be unable to at-
tend on the working days I
Two privates belonging to the 13th Light Dra-
goons, stationed in this town, on Wednesday night
absented themselves from the barracks, after must*
roll ; and next morning, it being ascertained they
were drinking at the Grey Mare, gear Ancoat's
a Serjeant and file of men were sent to march them
into barracks, as prisonecs. One of them surrendered
instantly; but the other obstinately refused to go
until he had had more liquor; and the Serjeant
shortly remonstrating on his conduct, and thinking
he perceived him in the act of pulling a pistol from
his bosom, he (the Serjeant) instantly pulled the
trigger of his own pistol and shot the unfortunate
man dead on the spot. He was immediately taken
into custody ; and yesterday a Coroner's Inquest was
held on the body, before Jonn MILNE, Esq. when
the Jury returned a verdict of Justifiable Homicide.
The Serjeant was accordingly released out of custody.
" On Friday se'nnight a room floor gave way, at
the factory of Messrs. Almswoartes, at Halliwell,
near this town ; when one man was killed, and seve-
ral others (not expected to recover) dreadfully muti-
lated. The occurrence, it seems, was purely accidental.
" A Coroner's Inquest assembled at Halliwell, on
Monday last, and continued by adjournment until
Thursday afternoon, to investigate the cause of the
death of Mary Ridings, who was reported to have
been murdered by her husband, or to have died "in
consequence of his ill treatment. After a most pa-
tient investigation, and the examination of a number
of witnesses, the Jury returned a verdict of Man-

slaughter against the husband, Henry Ridings, who
was committed on the Coroner's warrant to Lancas-
ter Castle, to take his trial next Assizes.
a We remain quite free from actual tumult, but
the work people still continue much discontented in
this district."

'• PRESTON, SEPTEMBER £6.

" Monday about SOO of the dissUisfied wei.vers of
this town assembled and paraded the streets, as in the
preceding week. Tuesday their numbers were greatly
augmented, being estimated to exceed 1,200. On Wed-
nesday about 300 again assembled, at the top of High-
street (where they have been accustomed to meet), and
after having been addressed by some of their leaders,
dispersed quietly, with an intention, we understand,
to weave out the work sow in their looms and again
desert their employment, until they can make some
satisfactory arrangement with their employers. Ano-
ther meeting was announced by one of their body to
be held on Monday next. As a precaution against
any attempt at disturbance, a-troop of the 13th Regi-
ment of Light Dragoons arrived here on Saturday,
but we confidently trust that their services will not
be called for.

" The weavers of this place have lately adopted
some singular measures. Monday, a full Meeting of
their body was held the town, at which a grun bag
was produced, and the names of the manufacturers
of that district being written on slips of paper, were
put into it. A resolution was then put, and carried
unanimously, that the first name drawn from the hag
should be read out of the trade, and that no weaver
should be allowed to work for him. The first name
drawn proved to be the firm of Horrocks, Miller, and
Co. and produced loud applause from all present. It
was put to the vote, and carried by a show of hands,
that no weaver should work for that firm.
" The meeting then proceeded to other business,
They bare offered six months' warehouse-rent to any
Manufacturer that will come forward, and give them
an advance of 4s. in the pound. A letter has actually
been sent to a house at Bolton with such an offer,
and an invitation to come to Preston, ascu:il:g him
of 100 good fancy weavers, and a great number of
good cambric weavers. It is' fully understood that
none cf the weavers will work for Messrs..llorreuks
and Co.; the rest are all gone to work, but are, ex-,
pected to attend the parades and meetings."

The New York Commercial Advertiser of Augn stl
28, says, " The United States Navy consists, it is
believed, of three seventy-fours, via,. the Franklin,
Independence, and Washington; of five 44. gun fri-
gates, three 36, two 32, one 20-gun vessel, ten 18,
besides several smaller ones of 16, 14, 12, and of
smaller denominations. There are four 74's on the
stocks, besides frigates and smaller vessels. We go
on adding to our Navy as fast as we can obtain well-'
seasoned timber ; and it is thus we go on until we
shall become the greatest naval power of the globe."
The Evening Post says, " In the Mobile Gazette of
July 24th, that came to hand this morning, we per-
eel% e the American schooner Constitution, her tackle,
apparel, furniture, and cargo, advertised for sale on
the first Monday in January next, by the Marshal
of the Alabama territory. She has been seized by
the :united States for being cni,aged in the slave'
trade—her cargo consists of 80 negro slaves • SO bags
of coffee marked B.G. 27 ditto ditto marked JAN..;
and 100 boxes of sugar marked M.M. It does not
appear that there am any marksott the negroes other
than those made by the irons they wow, or they
would have been given, that the owner or owners
might identify their property, go forward, and put

and at six o'clock, when the express came away, .the
south and west wincrs were destroyed ; arid at half
past seven, when the Mail Coach posted, rearlythe
whole front, towards Battle hill, was iti tames, and
there appeared :-.13 hope of saving any pakt of the
building. This magnificent seat has just been nearly
rebuilt, and was inferior to none (except Ahawick
Castle) in the county.
NEWCASTLE; SATURDAY, SEPT. 26.--Acivices "most
received here this morning, stating. that this magi&
scent ediEce..is reduced to a shell, and far the
greater part of the furniture is destroyed. ne
da
mage, on this occasion, at present, is incalculable.

MRS. FRY.
Monday, Mrs. PST' accompanied by her brother,
JOSEPH Jonit Gila Nix. Esq. of Norwich, visited Lan-
caster Castle, and expressed herself well pleased whit
the general managemint and appearance of the pri-
soners, and with the sprtem of labour pursued. On
Tuesday, this benevolent lady and her brother exa-
mined minutely the arrangement and conduct of the
House of Correction in that town, and expressed much
admiration at the cleanliness and order which ap-
peared to prevail in every department ; they alto
passed some high compliments on the merits of Mr
D DILL, the Governor.

HSNRIt BROUGHAM, Esq. NI.P. arrived at Appleby
on Thursday last, on a visit to the Earl of TnANET.
The Earl BRADFORD, EDWARD BLOUNT, Esq. and
other eminent Staffordshire Agricultatralis:s, are on
a visit with EarITA.I.BOT, Lord Lieutenant of Leland.
Saturday Major• General DARLING and suite em-
barked at Portmouth, on board the CARRON, Capt.
FURNEAUX, for the Cape of Gocd Hope and the El..st
Indies. Dollars to the amount of £lOO,OOO, kart
been put. on board her by the India Company, for
conveyance to Calcutta.
The CONFIANC2, Captain A.MoN-roolmate, sailed
on Saturday afternoon, from Portsmouth. for the
Jamaica station.—PEanvsLasr, the Indian Chief (who
arrived in the Sottnasus), is returned home in her.
We understand he was supplied with what money
he requested to have (a trifling sum), three suites of
clothes, and two chests of tools for his brother. This
was the extent of his demand ; but he departed very
angrily, because he was not suffered to land in Eng-
land.—He was removed from the tierhiramis, previ-
ous to her being pp off, to the Confiance.
DRrRY-LANE THEATRS.—Saturday Venice PA',
Jen:eV was repeated with great applause ; after which
new Melodrama was acted for the first time, en-

titled Sigomar, or the Switzer.—The story is made
up of the escapes and exploits of Sig,cmar, who; like
fVtrese.:4 TELL, raises the standard of Liberty, and
rees his countrymen from the Austrian yoke. The
daughter of a noble-minded 'peasant assists him in
his escapes, shares his dangers, and finally becomes -
his wife. His party triumph at the moment he is
about to be put to death, and all but the emiszaries
of tyranny are made happy.—The piece met with
some opposition in the c. urse of the first act—and,
in the second, the spirit of hostility assumed a mere
formidable aspect. The intes rtiptions became frequent,
and the dispute between the Ages and Noes was car-
ried on with such perseveranc3, that the actors were
often quite inaudible ; and Mr. HOLLAND, who came
forward to announce the piece for repeion, was
obliged to retire without a hearing. When the cur-
tain fell, a gentleman in one of the star-boxes, ra-
ther singularly habited in a sort of railing-coat or
roquelaire, and who by waving strenuously a hand-
kerchief he held in his hand, and other violent ges-
tures, appeared to intimate a debit e of addressing the
audience. This gentleman is, we belies c, an unfor-
tunate person slightly disordered in his intellect, but
without being at all dangerously disposed, and who
is well known as a regular attend.int in our Theatres.
An imperfect silence having been obtained, he ut-
tered a few incoherent sentences of no reference to
the sentence just passed on the new Melo-drame. An
attempt was made by some of .the officers in atter.d-
.iace to dislodge him, but he' was soon surrounded
by a troop of ardent spirits, who would not consent
to give up their Orator. The gentleman remained
silent a few minutes longer, then taking out his watch
said " I perceive it is just twelve o clock ; I pre-
sume I am addressing a religious audience who in-
tend to 'keep Sunday sacred; I mean the same my-
and therefore wish you a good night." With
this anti climax ended all appearance of hostility, and
the company separated quietly and in good hummr.

-Thursday- last, the Cow-keepers In the vicinity of
the metropolis held a meeting, its consequence of the
expected dearness of fodder for their cows during the
Winter, from the scarcity of hay and straw after the
long dry summer, when they came-to the unanimous
resolution of raising their en:ri a penny a quart to
their customers.
CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, SEPT. gis.
Our supply of Wheat was rather large from Essex
and Kent this morning, but we had no arrivals from
the Suffolk coast. Fine runs from the former county
sold on full as good terms as on this day week, hut
the sales were heavy for all other descriptions.—Al.
though the suppiy of new Barley was rather small,
yet die demand being trifing, the trade was exceed-
ingly dull at a decline of full 2s. per quarter from
last Monday's prices.—Oats, Beans, and Peas, art
each from Is. to 2s. per quarter lower, and dull side
at that reduction.
