LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 13.

The demand during the early part of the week continued good,
both from the Trade and Speculators, and a further advance of
fully id per lb was obtained upon the lower and midling qualities
of American and Surat. Since Tuesday the inquiry has con-
siderably abated, owing to the unexpected occurrence of dis-
turbances in the manufacturing districts, and the above advance on
American is now barely supported. Speculators have taken 11,000
American and 250 Surat, and Exporters 1800 American, 100
Pernambuco and 300 Surat.

WIGAN.

We hope we may not have the painful duty to fulfil of re-
cording, in a second edition, any instance of lawless violence
in the town of Wigan ; but we confess that we have no such
expectation. About half-past twelve o'clock a large body of
colliers, weavers, and others, amounting, it was stated, to
between five and six thousand in number, arrived in the
Wallgate, from Bolton, Leigh, Blackburn, and the adjacent
places. A great number left Wigan for Bolton at an early
hour in the morning ; and, it is said, the two parties met at
West Houghton, where they agreed upon a system of opera-
tions. The party which invaded Wigan were armed with
bludgeons, staves, pokers, and other weapons of a like cha-
racter, which they brandished in very threatening style.
In the Wallgate they separated into different parties
one party proceeded to Haigh Hall, the seat of the Earl of
Balcarres, where they demanded and received some bread ;
they then proceeded to the adjoining collieries of the noble
lord, and turned out all the colliers, to the number of between
700 and 800. Lord Balcarres pays upwards of £l,OOO a-
week in wages alone, the want of which cannot but produce
lamentable effects upon those misguided men. Another
party proceeded to Whitley, the seat of Alexander Halibur-
ton, Esq., an extensive coal owner, whose workmen were
also turned 'out, and compelled to join the rioters. They
went to Whitley Hall, where they required money, drink,
and meat to be given to them. Mr. Halliburton was at
Preston at the time doing duty with the Wigan Troop of
Yeomanry, and in his absence the Misses Haliburton
were placed in a situation of considerable difficulty,
if not of actual danger. Means, however, were fortu-
nately found to draw off the mob without any damage
being done. Other parties called at the several mills and
bleach-works in the town and neighbourhood, and, in short,
every establishment in the plate was stopped by the hands
either voluntarily going away, or being compelled to do so
by threats of violence. The manager of one spinning-mill
resisted for some time, but at length he was seized and com-
pelled to march in front of the mob to several other mills.
By half-past two, the designs of the malcontents appear to
have been answered. for business of all kinds was at a stand,
the shops were closed, and the people were crowded together
in groups along the Wallgate and the Market-place. The
Rev. Mr. Bissett, one of the curates of the parish
church of Wigan, attempted to remonstrate with one
of these groups;' and he was very severely handled by
them. The Rev. gentleman after having been violently
struck, was rescued by the police. When our reporter left
last night, the town was apparently quiet, but the people
had not dispersed, and they,were expecting the return of the
party who had left in the morning. The police force were
in readiness, and a detachment of the 72d Highlanders were
under arms ready to act in a moment.

APPREHENSION OF TWO RINGLEADERS.

We understand that since Saturday night two of the leaders
in the proceedings whicn have caused such disturbance in
the town, Isaac Tinker and George Seddon, have been ap-
prehended.

Tinker appeared to have the command and marshalling of
the men, and a person named George Seddon took a most ac-
tive part in demanding that the hands should come out—war-
rants were issued for the apprehension of these two individu-
als, and placed in the hands of Mr. Superintendent Beswick
for execution. Mr. Beswick having discovered their re-
sidences, proceeded, about half-past one o'clock on Sun-
day morning, accompanied by the whole -of the first divi-
sion of constables, to the house of Tinker, which is situate in
Silver-street, Hulme. Having surrounded the house, they
succeeded in taking him into custody; and when the charge
against him was stated, he did not deny the facts. They
then proceeded, about three o'clock in the morning, to a
house in Back Queen• street, in search of Seddon.
Having surrounded this house, and knocked at the door for a
considerable time, they obtained admittance, and succeeded
in discovering Seddon's sleeping-room. He was not there;
but Mr. Beswick, observing that the window was open,
jumped through into the yard, and after getting over two
small houses, found the prisoner concealed in a building con-
taining a great quantity of ashes. Mr. Beswick pulled him
out, and the moment he was upon the ground he seized Mr.
Beswick by the throat, and became very violent. The
assistance of the special constables being obtained, he was
secured, and brought to the Town-hall.

SERIOUS AFFRAY.

(From the Cork co",„eitution of Thursday.) -
An occurrence of a seriouslat,ure took place on Tuesday
evening about five o'clock, at
li the life of a recruit,
saw mills, Patrick's-quay, by wire • Quarry and Wilson's
named Towell, belonging to the Ist
melancholy case, as we Royalsun-
derstand, was endangered.
The circumstances which led to the
are as follows :—During the latter part of the day a
report became general that the four sawyer
or throwing
Friday, and sentenced to be transported forslifeeend guilty
on
vitriol on Mr. Wilson, one of the proprietors of the'saw mills,
were to be shipped on board the St. George
other
steamer,so lying at
Penrose's-quay, for Dublin. Curiosity, or
motive, attracted hundreds of spectators to theme ,to
witness the. departure of these men ; but the report
out to be untrue, and the steamer left the moorings withoutd
the convicts. The parties who. were thus waiting returne
towards the town, along Patrick's-quay, passing, of muse
the saw mills. the gateway of which was at the time open,
the workmen being engaged in drawing water from the river
to supply the steam-boiler of the mills. It appears that Mr.
Wilson's men, from the crowds that were collected, were
unable to get in the water, and the engineer then came from
the mills to remonstrate with them, but without success.
An attack on the mills being apprehended, word was sent to
Mr. Wilson of what was going on. Mr. Wilson instantly
came from the office with the intention of having the gate on
Patrick's.quay closed. Proceeding to the gateway he had to
pass through a long, dark, narrow passage, connecting the
mills with the qnay. While going through this passage he
stumbled over Towell and others. Towell recovered himself
arengrasped Mr. Wilson by the breast. Mr. Wilson, in
return, grasped Towell, and a tussle ensued, during which
the n'former, impelled by, it is believed, the danger in which
14e felt himself, from threats recently used towards him, drew
a dagger and stabbed Towel in the side. Towell was imme-
diately taken to Mr. Brady, apothecary, Bridge street and
thence to the Royal H osnpneifall,)w here he now lies. Bridge-street,
wound'
is stated to be a severe
instance
Dr. Howe, who attended the
unfortunate sufferer at the' ince of. Mr. Wilson, reports
him yesterday to be considerably better—better, too, than he
could have expected under the
nrcumstances. A large con-
course of persons, on the ocenrrel
,000,
and ee being known, assembled
to the amount oiabout 2 from the excitement appa-
rent amongst them, great fears were entertained for the re-
sult. However, sub-inspectors Gun%l.W.Leod, head-con-
stable Ward, and a large party of proceeded to the
mills, and by their presence the peaceP was preserved. The
police remained until a late hour, when, people having
separated, they left a party in charge of the me
was progressing
hour yesterday evening we heard that Towell iAt a late
favoWablY• He is stated to be a native of Limerick, and
only a few days in this city.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 13

The agitation which has this week been caused by the cessation
from work (either voluntary or in consequenc of the threats of ill-
disposed persons) of nearly the whole of the labouring classes in
this and all the surrounding towns and district, has caused nearly
a total suspension of business. It need- n'ot be stated that the corn
trade fully participates in the effects so suddenly and alarmingly
produced.
We have consequently to report the transaction of a very limited
business in every article during the week. The weather, with the
exception of one or two thunder showers, has continued very
favourable for harvest, which is proceeding rapidly in all the mid.
land, southern, and south-eastern counties, with every prospect of
a most satisfactory result.
Rather more firnmess was shown in the Wheat trade yesterday,
at Liverpool, but owing to the cause above alluded to, our market
to-day is thinly attended, and scarcely any business is done.
The value of best Wheats remains nominally as on this day week.
Flour Is. lo 25. per sack, Oats Id. per bushel, Meal Is. to 2s. per

The mayor (S. Horrocks, Esq.) and the following magie-
trates—T, B. Addison, Esq., Colonel Austen' T. Lowndes,
Esq., G. Jacson, Esq., J. Bairstow, Esq., and W. Taylor,
Esq.—were in attendance at the Bull Inn at five o'clock. A
little before six, part of the rifle brigade marched to the east
end of the town, and the other division to the west, with a
body of rural police and the borough police, but their services
were not needed, as all the hands at all the factories (except
what we shall name below) went quietly to work as on any
other day ; nor did there appear in the different neighbour-
hoods the least excitement, every thing wearing the ap-
pearance of a common working day. The exceptions we
have alluded to were the spinners of the factory of Mr.
Gardner, in Marsh-lane, on a dispute about wages ; and the
original turn-outs at Messrs. Ainsworth's. They were con-
gregated in front of the factory, and had a conference or two
with Mr. W. Ainsworth; but no terms were come to, the
stipulation of the weavers being to turn off the manager or
taker-in, who, they allege, is much to strict, and his abate-
ments on their work much too large.

The wounded rioters in the House of Recovery were yes-
terday morning a little better, but two or three of them con-
tinue in a most precarious and dangerous state. The man
in Birk-street still continues in a dangerous state. We have
mentioned above that several must have been wounded
whose names we did not know—one of these, George
Sowerbutts, who lived in Chandler-street, a youth about 18
years of age, a power-loom • weaver at Gardner:a, was shot
through the lower part of the belly. He was immediately
carried-te—his lodgings, and lingered till nine o'clock on
Sunday night, when he died. He was exceedingly busy du-
ring the riotous proceedings of the mob, and very active in
endeavouring to put out the fire under the boiler at the fac-
tory of Messrs. Paley.

The inquest on the body of Laverhitts will be held this-
day (Tuesday,) at the House of Recovery, before Mr. R.
Palmer, the borough coroner.
The man, who so violently assaulted Captain Woodford,
chief superintendent of the rural police, was apprehended on
Sunday, at Leigh, near Bolton. He is an inhabitant of that
place, and has made himself conspicuous by his violence.
An inspector of the force was despatched to Leigh for him
by the train, which left Preston at twenty minutes past two
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the prisoner will be
examined before the magistrates this-day. Several parties
who are in custody, will be examined at the same time.

The activity and promptitude of the authorities of Preston
cannot be too much praised. We are satisfied that had they
not exhibited so much decision the town would have been
entirely at the mercy of the mob, the consequences of which
it is useless to conjecture. The town bad resumed its usual
appearanCe when our reporter left yesterday afternoon.

MANCHESTER.-MONDAY MORNING.

The reports at the Town-hall up to this time represent all
parts of the town as quiet.
A meeting of delegates was held at Carpenters'-hall this
morning, at half-past six o'clock, when a deputation of six-
teen of the body were appointed to confer with the masters,
and to see what arrangements could be come to respecting
wages, to express to them their determination not to return
to work till they could have wages restored to the price of
1840, and till arrangements could be guaranteed for limiting
their time of working to ten hours per day. At the same
time there was a further resolution passed not to return to
work till the charter had become the law of the land. Twelve
delegates were also appointed at this meeting, to be sent to
a meeting to be held at the Sherwood Inn, Tib-street, at ten
o'clock (the hour at which we write).

Standard Office, Half-past 7en o'clock.

Church, near Blackburn, Monday Night.

We are now in this part reaping the fruits of the late Whig
government, and also of Tory incaution. On Saturday,
Acrington, Church, and all the adjacent places were besieged
by Chartist mobs ; and, having no protection, we were all
obliged to comply with their demands—stopping our ma-
chinery and turning out all our hands. The print works of
Messrs. R. and T. Peel, at Church, were crowded, and I
feared we should sustain some serious injury ; but, happily,
they passed away without doing mischief. Our pockets and
pantries had to suffer. Yesterday, it was reported a meeting
would be held on Bull Hill, the other side of Darwen from
here, and this morning a desperate attack on Blackburn is
expected to take place. The authorities have been very
active in preparations to resist the mob, and I do hope they
may be successful.
We have had visitors this night to observe if we are pre-
paring for starting our engine. The premises of Foxhill
Bank have attracted the mobs attention, and this morning
there is not one factory at work, and it would be folly for us
to attempt any resistance at the present moment. Meetings
have been held in this neighbourhood on Sundays for many
weeks which ought to have been put down. A gentleman,
with a requisition from the magistrates, went to Manchester
yesterday, but they cannot spare any assistance from that
quarter. A mob of from 10 to 15,000 passed along the
Acrington road to Blackburn this morning, and they were
pouring in from all directions, and Blackburn cannot resist
this multitude. Several parties have been seriously injured.

THERE 'S A CHARM IN THE WOODS.

BY JAMES STONEHOUSE.

(For the Liverpool Standard.)
There 's a charm in the woods at the beautiful dawn,
When the bright sun is warming the earth with his ray ;
When dew-drops, like diamonds, ensparkle the lawn,
And the lark high in air seems to welcome the day.
Then sweet 't is to rove where the rivulet streams,
Where for ever it singeth its sweet little song;
Oh! the breath of the morning most exquisite seems,
Perfumed by the flowers in floating along.
There 's a charm in the woods when the daylight declines,
When the hum of the village no longer is heard,
When the glowworm's pale lamp on mossy bank shines,
And stilled are the voices of bee and of bird :
Then wander with me for, though morning may waken
The heart's gayest feelings of gladness and joy,
At the twilight alone earth's cares are forsaken. .
And we think that such moments possess no allow.

ARRIVAL OF ADDITIONAL TROOPS.

We understand that the 58th Regiment came to Manches-
ter yesterday per Liverpool and Manchester Railway, having
arrived at Liverpool during the night from Dublin. Two
additional troops of Artillery have also arrived, one from
Woolwich and another from Portsmouth ; also the 2nd
battalion Grenadier Guards.
Monday Evening, Half-past Seven.
EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL OF TILE RIOTERS.

Two magistrates, D. Mande, Esq., and R. Norreys, Esq.,
sat at the New Bailey, at one o'clock to-day, to dispose of
some of the prisoners in custody. The proceedings are still
going on, and will probably last till near midnight. The
result will be the committal of about forty prisoners out of
forty-five who are to be brought up. The remainder will be
examined to-morrow.

At this moment the town is perfectly quiet. The meeting
of delegates in Carpenters'-hall terminated about an hour
ago. The result was a declaration, by a large majority,
against going to work till they obtained the charter. It is
rumoured that we are to have a grand field-day to-morrow,

their own counsel pretty carefully.

APPREHENSION OF TWO RINGLEADERS.

We understand that since Saturday night two of the leaders
in the proceedings whicn have caused such disturbance in
the town, Isaac Tinker and George Seddon, have been ap-
prehended.

Tinker appeared to have the command and marshalling of
the men, and a person named George Seddon took a most ac-
tive part in demanding that the hands should come out—war-
rants were issued for the apprehension of these two individu-
als, and placed in the hands of Mr: Superintendent Beswick
for execution. Mr. Beswick having discovered their re-
sidences, proceeded, about half-past one o'clock on Sun-
day morning, accompanied by the whole of the first divi-
sion of constables, to the house of Tinker, which is situate in
Silver-street, Hulme. Having surrounded the house, they
succeeded in taking him into custody ; and when the charge
against him was stated, he did not deny the facts. They
then proceeded, about three o'clock in the morning, to a
house in Back Queen.street, in search of Seddon.
Having surrounded this house, and knocked at the door for a
considerable time, they obtained admittance, and succeeded
in discovering Seddon's sleeping-room. He was not there;
but Mr. Beswick, observing that the window was open,
jumped through into the yard, and after getting over '.two
small houses, found the prisoner concealed in a building con-
taining a great quantity of ashes. Mr. Beswick pulled him
out, and the moment he was upon the ground he seized Mr.
Beswick by the throat, and became very violent. The
assistance of the special constables being obtained, he was
secured, and brought to the Town-hall.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, ApcusT 13.
We cannot observe the least improvement in our Butter market;
prices of the best descriptions of Butter nominally 78s to 805 ;
middling and inferior kinds 7s to Ss per cwt. lower. The make
both of Irish and domestic has been at no former period more
abundant ; this fact in combination with the alarmingly insubor-
dinate state of the operative population in the manufacturing dis-
tricts ;—must, we apprehend cause, for some time, still greater
depression. Pickled Butter is shipping in considerable quantities
for the Brazils and West Indies. We believe, however, that it is
principally on Cork account. We hear of few sales making on the
spot, and the currency is without alteration. Good heavy Beef
is worth llss to I2os per tierce. Other sorts 905 to loos. We are
informed by influential curers, that any quantity of new Beef need
not be looked for before November. Pork very dull indeed, and
holders ready to take almost any price that is offered. In this
article, our Irish friends may expect greater competition with
foreigners, than in Beef.

WIGAN.

We hope we may not have the painful duty to fulfil of re-
cording, in a second edition, any instance of lawless violence
in the town of Wigan ; but we confess that we have no such
expectation. About half-past twelve o'clock a large body of
colliers, weavers, and others, amounting, it was stated, to
between five and six thousand in number, arrived in the
Wallgate, from Bolton, Leigh, Blackburn, and the adjacent
places. A great number left Wigan for Bolton at an early
hour in the morning ; and, it is said, the two parties met at
West Houghton, where they agreed upon a system of opera-
tions. The party which in% aded Wigan were armed with
bludgeons, staves, pokers, and other weapons of a like cha-
racter, which they brandished in very threatening style.
In the Wallgate they separated into different parties
one party proceeded to Haigh Hall, the seat of the Earl of
Balcarres, where they demanded and received some bread ;
they then proceeded to the adjoining collieries of the noble
lord, and turned out all the colliers, to the number of between
700 and 800. Lord Balcarres pays upwards of £l,OOO a-
week in wages alone, the want of which cannot but produce
lamentable effects upon those misguided men. Another
party proceeded to Whitley, the seat of Alexander Halibur-
ton, Esq., an extensive coal owner, whose workmen were
also turned out, and compelled to join the rioters. They
went to Whitley Hall, where they required money, drink;
and meat to be given to them. Mr. Halliburton was at
Preston at the time doing duty with the Wigan Troop of
Yeomanry, and in his absence the Misses Haliburton
were placed in a situation of considerable difficulty,
if not of actual danger. Means, however, were fortu-
nately found to draw off the mob without any damage
being done. Other parties called at the several mills and
bleach-works in the town and neighbourhood, and, in short,
every establishment in the place was stopped by the hands
either voluntarily going away, or being compelled to do so
by threats of violence. The manager of one spinning-mill
resisted for some time, but at length he was seized and com-
pelled to march in front of the mob to several other mills.
By half-past two, the designs of the malcontents appear to
have been answered. for business of all kinds was at a stand,
the shops were closed, and the people were crowded together
in groups along the Wallgate and the Market-place. The
Rev. Mr. Bissett, one of the curates of the parish
church of Wigan, attempted to remonstrate with one
of these groups, and he was very severely handled by
them. The Rev. gentleman after having been violently
struck, was rescued by the police. When our reporter left
last night, the town was apparently quiet, but the people
had not dispersed, and they were expecting the return of the
party who had left in the morning. The police force were
in readiness, and a detachment of the 72d Highlanders were
under arms ready to act in a moment.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1842-08-16

LATER FROM WIGAN.

Since our last edition we have received a further com-
munication from our Correspondent, which we regret to
say is not of a favourable character. It appears that in the
course of the night *the same mob which invaded the town
yesterday morning returned in small numbers, and about
nine o'clock they concentrated in the Market -place.
Appearances being threatening, the authorities called out the
two companies of Highlanders, who drove out the mob at
the point of the bayonet. They proceeded on the Chorley
road, followed by the military for a short distance, to prevent
them from returning. The military then proceeded to their
quarters ; and in the meantime the rioters visited all the
mills in their way, and put out the fires from under the boil-
ers of those which were preparing for work. They passed
several corn mills, and these they insisted upon continuing
at work. When our account left, they were on their way to
the extensive paper manufactory of Mr. T. B. Crompton,
near Farnworth, where, doubtless, they would insist on the
hands discontinuing their operations.
When the last train left Wigan for Liverpool the bells of
the parish church were ringing an alarm. It was said that
the mob had returned, and were committing violence upon
the property of some of the shopkeepers.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. FEB. 15.
The demand for Cotton to-day has been exceedingly
limited, as is generally the case on Tuesday's, yet the feeling
is not more discouraging than yesterday. About 1,500 bales
have been sold at steady prices.

COTTON MARKET, FEBRUARY 17.
The same languor and inactivity pervades our Cotton market,
and though we had yesterday a better attendance of buyers, the
day's business did not exceed 3000 bales, and to-day not more
than •3500 at prices much the same as last week. The market is
not a well supplied one, and particular for Cotton ranking from
5d to qd, on which class the demand chiefly runs neither.
Transatlantic intelligence or gloomy accounts Irma the manufac-
turing districts seem to have any influence upon it, and we may
sum up our remarks by adding-that we are " without change."
