APRIL 7. -sorry, however, in saying so, to excite such large expects , Lions as the Right Hun. Gt utlensan seemed to entertain. Mr. Brown), stu observed, that his Right Hon. Ftieud had not intimated say such hope; nor slid he (Mr. It.) eider• lain such saugnine hopes as his Right lion. Friend, that any practical good would result from the Committees of Finance and Espenditore. With respect to the Seditious Meeting Bill, the Oa we in it which re,tricted the electors of West. /Muster from meeting within a certaia distance, the bill did not go to prevent them from meeting trilhin Westminster Hall, nor from petitioning for the lentos al of Ministeis. The clause only went to keep sacied the sitting of Parliament and the Courts of Law. While they were not sitting the electors might naiad, as he already observed, within half-pistol shut of the two lloa.es. The lion. Gent. hoped, that after the recess the House would apply itself to the consideration of the state of the•nation; and he trusted nothing would be done by Mi nisters (hiring the reress in respect to South America, to commit this canna against the independence of that part of the world. Mr. BATIII;RsT was aware that the speech of the Hon. Gentleman would be b y Le h o i m bi ttiot , of west. nituster with pleasure. The bill, now, roe, did not app l y to it case of the sort, for they might meet at any plat-, fr mesa was not sitting. Mr. CURWEN hail', the country expected much froth the House. It was the duty of Ministers to meet the distresses under which the people labour, by retrenchment in every re spect, as to places, pensions, and jobs of all kinds. Sir J. IN sweeter contended, that nothing could be so fatal to the tranquillity of the country, as holding the language which the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Canning) had held. He agreed wills those who thought little had been done for relieving the burtheus of the people. Sir M. W. RIDLEV asked a question respecting Extents its Aid, and whether the Chester Judges were not now at the Cornwall Assizes, whither they had gone on special retainers, and put the business of their own assizes off. The SOLICITOR GENERAL said, it was impossible for him to contradict the rumour, becanse he did not know the fact. It was true, that they had set off some days since ter their circuit. Sir M. W. RIDLEV asked the Hon. and Learned Gentle man, whether he had not moved for leave of absence for them. The SoLicrron GENERAL replied in the affirmative. Mr. Vsuserrater, in answer to the question respecting the extents in aid, said, the hitless of one of the Judges of Ex chequer had prevented the return being made. Mr.Cm.cssre adverted to the labours of the Committee of Finance, and hoped the House would not raise their ex pectations too high ; he was but a young member of it ; still he had sat in it loog enough to know, that not one word had !, been said of the state of the finances. He thought, that as the House had very libel ally strengthened the bawls of the rulers, the case of those ruled would be taken into considera tion. Lord BINNING, in reply, conceived the Hon. Gentleman was lint little acquainted with the Committee ; for the ques tion had undergone some discussion before lie Was a member : two reports had been made ; the state of the ordnance, army, navy, and trade, had been discussed, though no report in that respect had been made. Mr. S. ROLDNE defended the Committee from the insinua tions of neglect; and after some observations from Mr. I'. Lewis, the motion was carried. In answer to a question from Mr. Brougham, it was ad mitted by Mr. Vansittart that a negociation was going on with Government for exclit intim; the patronage of Mary-le bousie.—Adjourned till Mouthy fortnight. MSTURBANCES AT MANCHESTER AND CARLISLE. -+- We are sorry to learn from Manchester, that Saturday was a day of great alarm to the peaceable inhabitants in that town and neighbourhood. Nothing short of a conspiracy existed to commence the perpetration of acts of treason and rebellion in that place. On Sunday night accounts reached at the same time from Carlisle, communicating the distressing intel ligence of more disturbances in that vicinity. The following letters contain ample details of these occurrences. " MANCHESTER, Martell 29.—Fur some time past, the better informed class of society here has had reason to look with an eve of jealousy upon the state of morbid quiescence into which the public mind had apparently sunk, since the prompt soppression Of the 1:INt meeting by the military. Itn monr and conjecture have ht en active; but knowledee of the real state of the case was strictly confined to those holding olivial situations. I refer sou to the declaration of the Ma gistrates in our papers of this day, tor the circumstances which have occurred, so far as they are officially disclosed I feel assured that you, Sir, will be little prepared fur sneh a discovery, and that it will atfect 'you deeply ; and your feelings will be consonant to those of esei y one to whom 1 have this .alay conversed. By this time (time o'clock) the alarm has, in a great degree, subsided ; but every one is struck with est liment at the diaholical nature oh' the conspiracy, and at the secresy with a herb it has been eonducted. The eleven deputies, mentioned in the declaration as having been appre. .heited, were assembled ill a small public house OR A vac% kb 'Green, misted one mile from the Excaange ; seven more, in a cellar in Chureh-street, were apprehended under the same circumstances, and arc now in custody. " All Orme people had their papers about them, but whe ther or not those papers were important 1 have not learned, as the examinations have been private. Our active deputy constable, Nadin, has jest now passed nu Sc inflow, escorted by a party of the Ist dragoons, having in a coach five prison ors, whom he had taken up in Middleton, w here similar Inca &tires hate been contemplated. One oh' them is Bamford, the deputy from Middleton to London at the late assembly or those worthies. Nadia observes, that so active and clever were the sign ds made front hill to hill, at liddlcton, during leis short visit, that neither he nor any of his party could com prehend them. " I will now cndeavaer en give yeti ua aceount of the plot which has °eta:dotted so much limporary conf usion. The signal tir cuuamcuexvuent was as socket, w hich was to have &wended from near SL Peter's Oierele. The factories in the netsLuas were to hive been desu eil by mesas tif rockets, %strait were to be ejected from a long brazen inetrunient, which was formed to introduce them at the windows. These circumstances would naturally attract the civil and military farce town! do the outskirts, and die mob was then to 114“: attacked the banks, and ultimately the New Bayley and bar racks. Tres plot has extensive ramifications ; Nutmeat: e l l, Birmingham, Derby, and other considera hie towns were to be rotative(' at the bailie time; I wish the police of those Wens may be as successfully active as ours have been. It is Tilt. NATIONAL REGISTER. supposed that the eleven deputies came from all parts of the country, and that they are men of some importance in their own way. " I am glad to tell you that this town is now most perfectly quiet; every precaution ILO been taken; the military force has been veil considerable incremied; we have already 2000 spulul con‘table4; and the Watch and aid Act will lie acted upon to-night." Fortunately the Magistrates had obiained timely informa. lion of these hos - ile preparations, and they were enabled, in the , course of Saturday, to tranquiliize, iu some measure, the Public mind, by issuing the following printed notification : " The Magistracy anti Police of Manchester deems it their indispeusible duty to make known to the public, that infor mation, aim which they can place the fullest reliance , has reached them of a most daring and traitcrons conspiracy, the object of which is nothing CSS than open insurrection and re bellion. " Persons calling themselves deputies, not only from the principal towns in this dist riet, but from others . at a consider able distance, are known to be engaged in it. The town of Manehcster is one of the first pointed out for attack, and the momstit fixed upon for the diabolical enterprize is the night of Sunday next, the 3atli instant. measure of precaution, consistent with the secresy hitherto required, has been already resorted to. MeallSt trolly adequate, it is hoped, to frustrate these horrid machi nations, have been adopted, and a large military force is al ready close at hand. " Still, however, under the very alarming and pressing eir cumitances attendant upon this Treason, it is considered ab solutely necessary to the personal security of the inhabitants, by this public notice, to call upon them as friends to their country and themselves, to come forward immediately to evince the strong abhorrence they entertain of such deiest a ble plots, and to show to the enemies of social order, that neither courage nor power is wanting to resist and to over conic any attack which may be made, however serious, or however sudden. " Eleven persons have been this day apprehended at a meeting of deputies, the time and place of which meeting have been known to the Magistrates and Police, and communi cated to the Secretary of State, several days ago. " For the apprehension of live of these deputies, warrants had previously been received from London." Time following detail of the events that have taken place is copied from the Manchester Exchange herald of April I : "Until Friday last, the o n whirl! the Magistrates had received rested in themselves and his Majesty's Ministers, to whom they had communicated it. The diabolical plot which they discovered being then about to burst, and having taken every possible precaution to repel, or rather to prevent the threatening storm, they published that day the declara tion. It is easy to imagine the consternation of the loyal and peaceably disposed inhabitants of these towns on read the important document ; but, alarming as was the public notification of the danger which had hovered over us, the detail of the black design is still more appahing. "From the 10th of March, when the Blaoket Expedition was defeated, the design now happily frustrated first showed itself. It is a fact, too well authenticated to be doubted, that meetings of Delegates from distatit towns and districts have met secretly to discuss the means of carry in their horrid measures into effect. The subsequent capture of the Delegates, in council assembled, on Friday afternoon, has furnished the proof. It appears they had previously asseih.. bled at the Royal Oak, in Downing-street, Ardwick, whence they adjourued to the George and Dragon, at Ardwick, where, about five o'clock, they were secured. "The paper published and placarded by order of the ma gistrate's informed onr readers of the first precautionary measures. We shall now lay before them such particulars of subsequent circumstances as we can vouch for. "On Tuesday evening the important facts they afterwards published were laid by the magistracy and police before a number of gentlemen of the first consideration in the tOwn and neighbourhood, who coal(' not but express their satis• faction at the silence which had been so properly observed till every possible provision of prevention was taken to make sure of the seizure of the delegates: whose meeting, front different places, was to take place on Friday, at Ardwick, One of the Deputies was resident in Derbyshire, and had r,^peatedly been sent on missions from this town to some of the other largest manufacturing towns in the kingdom, in tended, like MallelleSter, to partake of the fraternal embrace. " During Friday night, and on Saturday, the magistrates and police continued on the alert. In addition to the eleven Deputies already mentioned, rev eral other persons were ap pre hen de d. The locks were taken from the fowling-pieces in the gintsmiths' shops, and the gunpowder in the hands of the dealers was removed to a place of seenriky ; while the whole military force which could be spared, within numrching distance, was added to the troops already here. In the course of Saturday night eight of the prisoners were scut off to London, secured by fetters, and well guarded. "On Smithy a strong detachment of the nth regiment of foot came from Warrington in boats : . the Cheshire Yeo manry also hastened to the post of danger. The a tilt toot, and the Ist Dragoon Guards, were also on active service; the whole under time command of toe Commander of the Disti let, Lient-General Sir John Ilyug. in the evening of Sunday, Mr. Kadin set off post fur Sowerhy, in Yorkshire, where lie secured height, one of the leaders of the self named Reformers; and about fotir o'cleck yesterday morn log lodged him in the New tinily prison. " I sera man v.—About'' o'clock yesterday morning, a gun, or pistol, was tired into the window of the bed-chamber iu which the daughters of Mr. U. ;largess, of Springfield, Sal ford, sleep ; the slugs, or balls, broke several panes is the window; but providentially, neither of the young ladies sits. tained any injury. The following article is from the Lceds Intelligencer of March 31:— REIS nwon.—" Countrymen !—The day of doubt and in decision is past! Treason and rebellion, in open war, stand confessed! Perhaps, before this reach the public eye, • the blood of civil strife,' the blood of the innocent and f the middy. the blood of the traitor mid of the peaceful citizen, have flowed, in mingled torrtnis, down the streets of some of the principal towns in the kingdom " " Last night, the night of Palm Sunday, was fixed upon fora general rising and massacre, in furtherance of ' Mimi and open Rebellion.' A great many other large tow us, both in the Manchester district, and at a considerable dis tance,' were to rise also. We are in possession of the names of the towns; hut, at present, we do not consider it prudent or proper to ptibliAt them. "Sir John It)iig is at Manchester, ith :ilmost every soldier under his command. He is at the -entre of the insurrection, where it is of most importance to strike a sudden and deci sive blow. Should the rising takeplace that blow, we have 167 no doubt, will be struck with terrific effect. The other towns implicated, in the mean time, are not so well provided with defence. They are, in fact, almost defenceless. They may suffer, therefore, for a season ; but, Manchester }ming disposed of, they will speedily be releaved. "They onght not to have stood in need of assistance. ily a timely volnitteering oa the part of the peaceable, well disposed, and loyal citizens, the seditious would have been overawed and the eked. The absolute necessity for the mea sure is now imperative and obvious.—Let it therefore be prompt, spirited, and aeoeral. The Magistrate , of Monelies , ter call, net only upon their fellow-tOWDSIIIt n, but Nom the inhabitants of the other manufacturing and populous towns' which are implicated, to come forward immediately,' as a measure of • indispensable necessity,' for the • security of their persons,' and to • show that neither courage nor power is wanting to defeat any attack, hou et er serious, or hour.% er sudden.' " One of the most important conquests which the Public can set about, is that of conquering the mischcvons portion of the Press. Inflammatory publications, and inflammatory pulilieations almost alone, have brought the country into its present awful sitnation.—They are addressed to the passions of the poor and the ignorant, for the purpose of rousing theta to destroy the reh and the enlie,htened. "The Northern Regiment of West Riding Yeomanry Cavalry, were yesterday afternoon suddenly ordered to as semble at Harewood, about 10 miles from this place. "A regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry, to consistof 10 troops, 60 men each, is raising in Lancashire. Manchester is enter ing with spirit into the measure. Sumersetshire is also ac tively adding to its Yeomanry force. "HI ODERSFIELD, MARCH of infor- mation from Manchester, of the discovery of i most diabolical plot, a very respectable and numerous meeting was held here, on Saturday afternoon, at a very short notice. Upwards of 100 who attended took the oath of allegiance ; most were sworn in Special Constables, and have undertaken volun tarily to patrols the town during the nights. The Hudders field Corps of Yeomanry Cavalry, who are only just formed, most nobly offered their services, to remain on duty for any period that the Magistrates wished. They have not yet got their regimentals nor arms, having only their swords; but have lertaken to patrols the neighbourhood in picquets during the nights." CARLISLE, MARCH 28.-1 t is, this week, our painful task to detail the particulars of some law less proceedings nearer home than those which we have lately described as having taken place in another part of the county. On the night of Friday, the 214 instant, a considerable number of west ers, and others moving in a similar sphere, assembled on Grins dale Common, with the avowed intention of proceeding to acts of plunder and destruction; but for reasons nut known to us, they dispersed without committing any violence, though we are intlormed, a proposal was made to y some of the party, to tire some corn stacks near Knockupworth, but which the majoiity rejected ; this fact is ascertained by a person who watched their motions, and beard their deliberations, when concealed behind a hedge near the stacks. About nine o'clock on Monday night last, the same de scription of persons began to assemble from different parts of the city and suburbs—but, as we have reason to believe, chiefly from Caldevagate--at a row of buildings (the very focus of Reform) known by the name of " Belle Vue," situate at a small distance from Newtown. Before ten o'clock, upwards of 200 men and a few women bad congregated together at this place, and proceeded thence direct to Sand:- field (the port of Cat lisle), armed with bludgeons and some fire arms. On their arrival at Sandsfield, they forcibly entered the public house, occupied by James Davidson, and demanded the keys of the different warehouses, which they entered, but thine' there only two boxes of soap, belonging to Robeit Allison, of Carlisle, and a few other articles of trifling salute, which they bore off. Fortunately, some flour recently arrived by sea, Iron Liverpool, had just been removed to the city. From the warehouses, the mob returned to the public house, and regaled themselves with what ale and spirits the house contained. A party also entered the public-home at Old Mansfield, where they likewise demanded the keys of the warehouse of Joseph Nixon, the landlord, but they found nothing of value, except ale and spirits, which they drank without ceremony. Being disappointed of plunder at Sands field, the marauders immediately proceeded to the water corn mill, situate at Monishill, near Burghby.sands, occupied by Richard kr, (hut standing at neatly a quarter of a utile distant from his dwelling-honsel, who is altogether uncon nected with any person engaged in the shipment of grain or flour from the county to Liverpool and oilier parts of Lan. eashire. Two doors of this mill were broken open, and flour, oatmeal, barley-meal, wheat, oats, and barley, to the amount of 70 or el)!. were wasted and carried away. This property partly belonged to the miller. and partly to various persons residing in the neighbourhood who had sent their grain to get it ground. It was not till fits o'clock on Tuesday morning that Mr. Taylor knew what had been done iii the. night ; on his enter itg the mill at that hour, he beheld with consternation the destruction that had taken place; and on examining the pre mises, 13 bludgeons, a lauthorn, several pieces of candles, about the third pal t of a large ham, and a red leather pocket book con taining the di•clue.,,eo of Charles navel!, jun. from the Sd battalion of the Royal Artillery, who is a weaver, and has lately resided in the vicinity of this city. About five o'cle^k on Tuesday mornie4, Charles Millan, of d ings, weaver; Thomas Hai tness, of BtUAV ok-row, weaver; Betty M'Clatehy, wife of John WO:itchy, of Shaddon-gate, weaver; M..ry Bell, of Shathlon•gate, single woman, a nd :Mary Lush, a girl of about 10 years of age, of Shaddou gate, were apprehended, laden with flour and oatmeal, mar Cal dewaate, by Kirk and Barnes, two constables, and immedi ately cuaveyed to the gaol. Another man made a desperate resistance, and escaped, though, probably, not without in jury, us Kirk fired at ItMe and it is supposed that the shot took effect. On Taylor's proceeding to Carlisle, he found traces of his property, lbainirly, meal, (lout, ate, on the whole line of road, (ruin his mill to Caldewgate. Search-warrants were immediatt ly issued, and an advertisement published by Drs. Lowry and Heysham, laud O. Illamitre, Esq.

BRIDPORT ELECTION.—T7Ie elccti:m came on on Wednesday, wlizst Mr. Stort was declared duly tketed by an immense majority. Mr. Hunt, of course, never stood the least chance.
