BY the Steamer Great Western which left o ris
tol tho Sd inst. and ched this CITY on Saiur
day evening, Eve have papers to her day of sailing
Tho most important Intelligence which she
brings is that The Instructions in the manuiactur
ing and mining districts having spent ts violence
was snbslding and the restoration Of tranquility
was becoming general; though in many of the man
ufacturng to WINS the workman still remained out
yet The quarrel had become only between mas
tiers and men; not partalng in the least degree
Of national character Tho cry Of tho mob was
"more wages and not the Charter or no work
number OF duluded meu who took leading
part in the recent disturbances had been apprehen
ded, and IL was expected that special commission
would be shortly granted for their trial, and that
the nominations for it would soon be made. I was
expected that in a few days all the hands yet out
would return 10 their employment.
One account from Manchester siatos however,
that all tho power loom weavers, and a great por
ton OF the fine spinners, still out and some per
sons accuse the manufacturers of being impca
ted in the prolonged cessation OF work, in order
TO get rid of their largo stocks, which they hRyo
beon enabled to do at considerable advance in
the prices.
From the London Times of Sept. wo learn
that factory at Stockport violently stopped
bat tho rioters aterward arrested. On the
I'd, at w estbTomVick, tho ooicrs who had return
ed 10 their work, were driven from it by large
body Of turnAouts. The military called out
and succeeded IN dispersng the rioters, two of
of whom in their flight drowned in crossing
the Birmingham canal
SIR ROBERT PEEL's MANSION. I, was reported
that Sir Robert Peel's house, Drayton Manor, had
been burned down, but the report had no founda
ton. An an onymous letter had been received by
Lady Peel, acquainting her that attack would
be made upon Drayton Manor House and she
having communicated The letter to the authorities,
it was deemed prudent TO obtain the assistance Of
the military. "Fortunaely," says the cores pon
dent Of the Morning Chronicle, ''there was no ne
cessty for their attendance, AS attack whatever
nor The least app earance OF it took place indeed
there was not man to be seen during the day, in
the neighborhood, whose appearance could indi
cate any intention of mischief. Tie Dragons arri
we'd about clock, and were RECALLED at the man
sion; were also number the Birmingham Pc
lice, who were despatched on the receipt of the in
teligenco of the meditated attack. Before the arri
val Of the troops, number of Sir Roberts tenants
collected in the mansion house, to defend the
place had any attack been made"
THE TREATY. The Great Western took out
the new Treaty, and she brings the first ntel-
gence in return. The Liverpool Chronicle remarks
that "upon the whole Lord AshbuIton has ably
and efficiently discharged his duty, and moro than
realized the expectations which his embassy held
out. All the bad blood which the constant discus
sion and agitation Of the points in dispute between
the two countries produced, has been removed ~
happy union has been formed between Great
Britain and her'magnifcent daughter Of tho West,
which will endure, it is TO be hoped, for ages.
Willmer's Newsletter says: "Nothing has, az
yet transpired here to the of the treaties
but they generally supposed to be such can
not fail to give the utmost satisfaction to the peo-
pie of both countries, and all events, the settle
ment of the ong~pendlng difficulties is regar ded as
matter of no mean Importance. The news gave
an impetus to the cotton trade, and little doubt IS
entertained here, but that as American
credit shall have been reestabshed these trenties
will tend much to the extension of trade and COM
merce between the two countries"
The trial of the lad Bean for attempting to in
iure The person of the Queen has taken place at
the Criminal Court After trial which lasted
some seven eight hours, he wGs found guilty on
| one Of the counts against him, and sentenced to
eighteen months Imprisonment in Newgate.
CHINA. Tho int IIigence is unimportant, ex-
cept the report, derived from the French Mission
aries at Pekin, that The Emperor, experimenting a
visit from the English, has retired into Tartary, and
has, before his departure, nagnaniEnously issued
proclamations his people, enjoining them to de-
fend themselves to the utmost.
The New Settlement at Hong Kong is progress
ing rapidly. Preparations making by Sir Hen
ry Potunger to advance PeIkin.
The tea market has been long open that no
teas remain of any quality approaching to good or
mddng good common is hardly 10 be met
with.
