LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 17.

A meeting of the Committee appointed here for
the purpose of investigating the late proceedings at
Manchester, was held on Tuesday, when Mr. DE-
sisow, the Solicitor to the Committee, made a de-
tailed Report of his proceedings at Manchester. Al-
luding to the Bills thrown out by the Grand Jury,
against different Members of the Manchester Yeo-
manry, for maliciously cutting and stabbing, Mr.
DiNtsoN concluded his Report in these words:
" The motives of the Grand Jury, in throwing out
these Bills, are only known to that GOD in whose
name they have sworn to administer justice! I shall
not comment upon them ; but I trust that the Com-
mittee will be convinced that I have used all indus-
try in fulfilling the mission upon which I was sent,
'to Manchester. Cases of outrage have, since the
Assizes, crowded on my coadjutors and myself.—
Some of these cases I now submit to your ezamin.a-
sion, in full confidence that you will think them fit
subjects for further proceedings."
On hearing this Report, and reading the docu•
ments refettid to at its conclusion, it was resolved,
That the thanks of the Committee are due to Mr.
DENISON, for his active and judicious conduct in in-
vestigating the transactions which took place at Man-
chester, on the 16th of August; and, that the Com-
mittee deem it their bounden duty to call upon all
British subjects, who value their rights, their liber-
ties, and their lives, to aid with pecuniary assistance,
the important inquiries and judicial proceedings in
which they are determined to persevere.

NOTTINGHAM, SEPTEMBER 17.

A numerous and respectable meeting of the Ho-
siers, resident in the town of Nottingham, and the
counties of Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester, took
place at the Exchange Hall, on Monday last, when
it was, inter alia, resolved :•••••g4 That as long as the
Stocking Makers do not manufacture for them-
selves—as long as the Parish Officers do not find it
necessary to turn Hosiers, but employ the surplus
Labour out of the Trade—that as long as no irregu-
lar Mode shall be made use of to reduce the Rate of
Wages, so long will this Meeting adhere to the Prices
exhibited in the Printed Statement, which the Hosiers
present cheerfully accedeoto." A statement of prices
for the making of cotton hose was at the same time
agreed upon, from which no deviation whatever will
be made, and although in some particulars it is some-
what under what the workmen consider an adequate
remuneration for their labour, yet in the aggregate,
we are informed, it approximates as'nearly to their
demands, as the state of the trade, under existing cir-
cumstances, will allow.
A Correspondent, under the head of " Good news
from Ilkeston," writes as follows :
The frame-work knitters of this place being in
great distress, on account of the depressed state of
the trade, took courage to apply to his Grace the
Duke of Rutland, who not only received their Depu-
tation in the most gracious manner, and attended to
their Address, but also condescended to converse with
them on the subject, and promised to take their case
into consideration, and to send his Agent over to
Ilkeston, to enquire further into their circumstances,
and to do something for them. Agreeable to this
promise, his Agent came over on the 10th instant,
when he directed them to take no more work Under
the Statement price ; that his Grace the Duke of Rut-
land would find them other employment for six
months, believing that many other Gentlemen would
do the same; and hoping, that in that time trade
would take such a tarn, that there would be no fur-
ther difficulty in obtaining the Statement price."
