and the military force collecting and collected wa,
considered to be quite sufficient to put down all
serious disturbance
| The object of all the attacks made by the riot
ers Is the pewer-loom machinery. In and near
| Manchester two or In endeavours had been made
! to effect the destruction of these looms; but they
had, IN every instance, been foled, and no appre-
hensions were entertained for the safety Of the
/ town. An attempt was made by some atrocious
lncendiaries 10 burn down one mill, but it failed,
because the building was fire-proof S;nce the I'M
| happy affair at Chatderton, no more lives have
been lost On that occasion the number of persons
killed Is said b. account 10 be six and by an
other seven.
Very exaggerated accounts havo been in cir
culation TO day of the numbers oi the rioters The
greatest number that we have heard of, on any
good authority, having been assembled at one
spot, was 2OOo. Considerable damage has ceriaiu-
~ been done in the destruction Of machinery and
| mills, containing power looms; but we repeat,
| that the imposing force, which Government has
caused to march upon all the points threatened,
VIII be more than sufficient TO insure the restora
ton Of tranquility"

"The Duke OF W ellington has returned but as
ye, nothing has transpired concerning his mission
or his opinions respecting the condition OF Russia
II ID understood that Russia has her u,n,a,um
TO the Turk, in which he is called upon TO fulfil the
| treaty, by placing Moldavia and Wallachia in the
condition therein stipulated, or tina, Russia would
march her armiesint those PROVING es. 1t is also
Understood that Russia has given notice 10 her al
lies, that she will admit of interference in the
present difficulties with the Porte; thus DENYING in
her own case, the law which she and they have adj
vocaied and enforced regards Others.
| The condition OF trade and manufactures, which
tor time seemed to be settled, is now becoming
worse. Great assemblages of starving men are TAX
ing place In several OF the manufacturing districts
who wreak their vengeance the u achinery and
power looms OF their former empio yers. Whether
Parliament will be dissolved under these circum-
stances, not few doubt---at al, events the cleo
lions will be gone into under great dissatisfaction
and embarrassment. You will see in the Times
the report of Mr.. Jacobs upon the subject of the
!
derng on the Vistula, by which it appears that they
have not furnished, and cannot furnish, in the
course OF year, surplus production ofwheat that
would be equivalent TO more than ten days SUBJ

quarter would be sufficient. This report is con.

government sent for the purpose of obtaining in
formation, he holding the opinion that it would no,

that his former opinion erroneous"

The Report presented to the Board OF Trade by
| MI Jacob, on completing the objects Of his agri-
cultural missions to the north and east OF Europe
has just been printed by order of the House of
Commons, and is document OF great value and
| importance.
! The instructions from Government 10 Mr.. Jacob
| defined the purposes which he was sent TO accom-
pllsh, but did not embrace the whole Of those 10
which he actually directed his attention when a.
broad, or the collateral subjects of public interest
| on which bis inquiries have been no less assdu-
GUS and successful, than The questions official

was cnjoined 10 examine the state of the corntrade
in those countries whose productions find vent
by the Vsiula into the Baltic" Poland in all lis
provinces, especially those under the Austrian
and Prussan sceptres, within the line of his
mission. which was also to comprehend the transit
trade, with the magazines Hamburger Konias-
berg, Memel, Elbing, and Riga, the prices which
grain has usually borne, the quantities raised for ex
portation, with the capacity of the countries to
Increase their supplies, by Of added capital
and OF more extended cultivation, as well as the
probable increase of quantity or price which
might be created under the stimulus OF a market in
England always open TO receive their surplus pro-
duce.
AS Ter the actual amount OF wheat that could at
present be exported from the Baltic ports, il is
far from being such would justify the alarms ex
pressed by the EOglsl asriculturalisls Mr. Ja-
cob states, that OF such quality would suit the
English market in ordinary times, the whole stores
ut the Russian, Prussan and Danish magazines
together with those of Hamburger and Bremen.

In the maritime provinces of Russia Mr. Jacob
calculates the cost of production for wheat 10 be

mission, &c. 2s. 3D.; freight primage and insur-
ance to London, Ss.; lighierage, landing charge,
and commission in England, Is 3D. jim all 43s
But though this was for given year, and on
particular estate, far concerned the cost OF
raising wheat, it is affirmed that lists of prices
from 1901 10 1925 elusive, yield an average not
materially differing from that just stated A cal
culation formed similar principles as the former
and from data supplied by the condition of Russian
Poland, i, appears that wheat grown in the pro-
vinces about Warsaw would cost in England
exclusive Of any duty) about 4Ss. sterling.
As we proceed further south in Holland, the soil
and quality OF the grain improve, but the charges OF
conveyance are augmented also. Thus, though at
Cracow the cost Of wheat may be reckoned at no
