Arrival OF TIE BRITISH STEAMER
MARGARET, Ar HALIFAX.

THREE DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.
The British steamer Margaret, Capt. Shannon,
arrived at Halifax on Thursday week last, in six
teen days from Liverpool.
The only important, news that she brings is a
contradiction Of the report Of the destruction OF
Sir II. Peel's mansion, at Drayton manor.
The Margaret is intended as a reserve boat in
case any accident should happen to the Cunard
steamers.
The instruction in the manufacturing and min
ing districts, having spent its violence, was sub
siding, and the restoration of tranquility was be-
coming general. At many places the dis,urbers
Of the peace have returned to work. But thou
sands upon thousands were engaged in the insur-
rectionary movements; no fire arms were used. In
Yorkshire and Lancashire, the women were a.
mong the most active Of the rioters. The turn
out in Scotland. regarded as the project for gem
eral movement, has been failure.

near this town. after and protractcd Illness Mr.
SiLAs H. SMITH, in the 56th year Of his agc-leaving
wife and three children to the loss of kind and
afcctionatc husband and father.
The deceased was man of great energy of character
and of active business habits, and was for number of
years efficient member ofhc Court Directors of the
Western Asylum. AS ncighbor, he was kind and o.
blging; and as friend, and st ,dfast In all his
dealings with his fellow he had aimed, through
life to square his conduct by the rules of rigid morality
but it is gratifying know, that before his death he
was brought to that something was necessary
to prepare him for the awful change which waited him.
In conversation with friend short time before his de-

wards him, and expressed hope that he had found
and acceptance for his SOUL through tie merits of Cru
Gifted Saviour.
His remains attended to the grave on Friday, by
