In the steamer which arrived here this mining from Naples and Civita Yecciiia , there were 187 English fugitives . I learn fromsome of them f hat , although the King had reduced the insurgents to order , it wa 3 expected that the Calsbriacs and Sicilians would shortly arrive at ISapIes and sack the town .

REPORTED RISINGS OF THE C 1 LABRIA 5 S . The French Steam-packet had arrived at Leghorn on the 20 th , annoancicg that when she left Naples the disturbances had recommenced . Many thousand insurgents , among ¦ whom were the Calabrians , tinder Romeo , were marching upon the capital .
1 DDITI 0 SAL PARTICULARS . Naples , May IS—21 . —Every hour Eeem 3 to show the greater magnitude efthe Ios 3 of life on Monday , tbe loth . 2 nd the horrors connected with it . Upwards of 2 , 000 persons sacrificed ! Such is the enormous loss in whioh all seem now to agree , having formed their calculations in some degree upon the basis of the returns from Campo Santo . I went last night to inquire for & gentleman who resides near Be , and found . that the nadbeenshet on Monday aud buried the eaine night , tossed into a pit with hundreds of others , and lime thrown upon theta . His mother was still in hopes of seeing him , and no one dared tell her the trnth . He is a man well known amongst the English —ifelea . the proprietorof the Crocelle in Cbiatamine .
Whilst there , I met a person who , beingat Campo Santo , had ssen seven bodies all of one family brought in ; they were fonnd in 3 welli and were supposed to have been thrown in , er else to have thrown them-Eelre 3 in to avoid the soldiery . The common voice goes on to speak of women and children being shot as well as men , or placed on their knees in momentary expectation of death whilst their houses were rifiad of everything-. So late as Wednesday afternoon I was again wandering through this city of EOrrow , and passed down Santa Brussiva . Near the church was assembled a crowd , horror-struck and silent . There had been a little rain , which had disturbed the rubbish , and msn were called in to wash down the steps and street , which was flooded with blood and
water . Here there had been great carnage ; on this spot poor Melga and three others had been shot ; in the next house , on the ground floor alone , as many more had besn hacked to pieces by the soldiery , who had broken through at ths back of the church to get at them . Take these as feeble descriptions of a thousand similar borrow . The aspect of the city is beyond conception sad : this usually gay and cheerful city is aow comparatively deserted , houses burned , ruined , or robbed ; shops generally shut . Most have fled . Tie houses in the suburbs are filled by poor families , who are too happy to have escaped with their lives . Very many sre c ' ad is recent monrnine , and all are
agitated by a hundred rumours which point to some approaching and more terrible disaster . One of the most disgraceful features of this affair baa been the plunder on the part of the Boldiery and the iaizsroni . I Eaw the latter running by my house with the * most valuable articles for two days and a night , exulting over what they deemed their lawful robbery , and Bhtrating Viva il Re ! ' It is said they were encouraged to rob by the soldiers : certainly tfcey were not prevented ; and that day and tie day after it is equally certiin that a piaster a-pieca was distributed to them , ffhere wa 3 a general fraternisation between the Esldiers and the mob .
The rage against the Swigs soldiers is intense ; and ie assured that assassination will fake off many . The night before Is 3 t several were murdered ; yesterday morning more than one wa 3 shot , from whence or J 6 y whera no ona knows , The retnrns at the consulate c £ the killed and " wounded are : —Soldiers killed , 320 ; wounded , 5 S 0 . . Many Bines dead . Citizen : —mea , women , and children—killed , 1220 . But I take this statement as below tha mark . A letter from Genoa of the 22 nd , which states that Ihs Neapolitan troops of Bologna , which amount to 4 , 000 men . having a complete fieid battery of artillery , received the King ' s order to return to Naples , Bat have refused to qait the defence of Lombards .
THE WAR IN LOMBARDY . The Beige of Peschiera commenced on the 17 th ult . © 2 the batteries being opened , the Austrians replied in a determined manner , and Bhowered shot and shell in great abundance . Bad weather appears to have prevented the prosecution of the siege for some d ys . The FiEDM 0 siE 3 s GiZEUE of the 23 rd publishes the bulletin of the 21 st from Somma Campagna . The fcad weather having ceased , the fire had been reopened against Peschiera , and several cannon had iiesn dismounted . A bomb hsd blown up a powder magazine in the Mandello outworks .
PROGRESS OP THE SIEGE . Letters of the 22 nd from oar correspondent at the liege of Peschiera stats that considerable progresg bid been made on that day . The town was on fire in three places , and all tbe guns bat two in the Fort Mandello had been dismounted . Tne bombardment of Peschiera continued the whofe of the 24 th , the date ot the last accounts . A decisiTB attack was expected to tak 8 place on the 26 th or 27 th . The Patsie says : — ' Th 8 government has reoeived 6 despatch , containing the important news that the Austrian corps d ' amtee , commanded by General Kugent , had defeated , before Vicenia , the Italian divisions under the orders of Generals Antonini and Parsndo , and by this victory had beea able to effect function with Marshal RadetBky .

0 H » Kns V ™ us . L IN TaE ENGLISH StMPATHY FOR T 8 E HERO AND PATRIOT , JOHN MITCBEL . On Monday evening , May 29 th , a public meeting > consisting of at least three thousand persons , was held on Stepney Green , shortly after bis o ' clock . Mr BmoE was unanimously called to the chair , and briefly and eloquently opened the meetine , and ooncluded by calling on , Mr Ernest Josss . who rose , much applauded , to address the meeting on the following resolution : — That this meeting expresses its utter ' detestation and abhorrence of the manner m wtuehjonn Mitcnei has been convicted by the old Byatem Of P ««*« K juries ; and further expresses ^ determination to aid Ind assist the Irish Confederates in , their endeavours to redress the injury done to that Inthi Patriot ' The reading of the resolution was received with great aoplause . Mr Jones addressed the meeting at considerable length , and left to attend a similar meetingat Greenwich amidst loud cheers .
; , Mr M-Chab seconded the motion in an animated eneeeh . . , * Dr M'Dotjall supported it in a speech of much power ; during which he highly eulogised the conduct of the brave men of Bradford , and asked all who were determined ' to organise and prepare to defend their lives and property , ' to hold up their hands . The major part of the meeting responded to this call . Ths doctor retired loudly cheered . Mr Maunder Mat , in a very forcible speech , highly eulogistic of the heroism of Jobn Mitchel . supported the motion amic ' strapturous appiause . Mr C . M'Cartht , a member of the Irish Contederation , in a bold and manly speech , which was delivered with much warmth and animattOB , also supported the resolution amidst great applause . The resolution wa 3 then put and carried
nnsnz-A vote of thanta was then given to the chairman . The ' meeting immediately formed a procession nve abreast , and proceeded quietly down the Whitechapel road , up Commercial-street , Sun-street , to Finsburysquare , where they met another body just arrived from Clerkenwell-green , with whom they jained , and proceeded onward in processional order up Cniswellstrest , Barbican , to ., to SmithfieJdI Market ; then do * n Snow-hill , up Holborn-hill , Holborn . di ; wn King-street , across the ' Dials , ' Upper St Martins Lane , New Ccventry-sfreef , throngh LyiCfstersquare , to Princea-street , Old Compton-street , Deanstreet , to Oxford-street , down Regent-street to Pail Mall , and through the renowned Trafalgar-square . It is needless to add . prior to its arrival here , the proand
CL 3 sion waspreatly increased in length , although it had proceeded quietly through the streets , it had created and excited the greatest curioMfcy ; amongat the people , who stood in groups discussing aa to whence they came and whither they were goingthe general cry was— The Chaitista are out . iNo EOoner had the precession quietly passed through Trsfalgar-eqnare than a large bsdy cf police , armed with staves and cutlasses csme and towk poaser-sion of it ; nearly one ^ hundred of whom seated themselves on tke terrace wall facing the National Gallery , 88 if desirous of pieventing any one Bpeakinp—doubtless fearing a return of the * ChartiBts . ' Thfe 'force ' excited much curiosity , and caused many persona who werepEBsing to stop to know what were the police about to do . ' At length the steps of St Martin ' s
Church and vicinity presented s very animated appearance , the police using their EtaveB cleared the steps and Epace , the people very readily retiring at tbe cry ' Move on , ' notwithstanding which , a ycuDg man in the garb of a plasterer , had his arm very badly injured , by the truncheon of one of the ' force , ' who ; acted most brutally in the square . We heard a policeman state to a special constable , ' that in their course down Regent-street , the procession was five or six abreast , and that it extended a dis t ance of one mile and a half . ' We fouDd the gate 3 of St James ' s Park were closed , and persons who habitually crossed , were told ' you must go round ;' ths church-yard of St James ' s , was full of specials , batan in hand , one of whom had seated himself down very cosily with a pipe in his mouth—at the gate on ths ' Piccadily side — the people looking between the
bars , g ed naturedly ' chaffing' the specials , and asking them' are you taxpayers ? ' The specials did not half appear to relish ' night werk . '' Aapley House , ' the residence of the' Iron Duke / had a strong guard oi police , and on inquiry we were informed tbat the military were all under arms . The procession passed through Trafalgar-square about half-past ten , and at twelve the police had evacuated it , all being qniet in that quarter . The procession proceeded onward through the Strand , Fleut . Btreet , &c ., < fcc , to Finsbury-equare , where it separated in the same good order that had pervaded its rankB all through its long metropolitan walk . Not a pane of glass broken , nor a Bingle person molested . Let my Lord John beware in time that the workin g classes—ay , and a good portion of the middle classes too—sympathise with John Mitchel , and demand in ubbiUtakable tsne ? , both tbe Charter and Repeal .
fFrem the Mofning Advertutr . ) For some time past meetings have been held in various parts of the metropolis , of Irishmen who are advocates for the Repeal of the Urnon aad also of the Chartists , and the resolutions arrived at have been to the effect , that in the event of any punishment being inflicted on Mr John Mitchel , who baB now been sentenced to fourteen years' trantportation , they would rise en masse to request from the Queen of Enaland his release . As soon as the news arrived in tawn . on Saturday , of Mr Mitchej ' a conviction , the various clubs assembled at their respective places of meetiBg , and at many of them it was agreed tbat the members should arm themselves for a demonstration on Monday evenine .
It was pnblicly proclaimed that a public meeting Bhould be convened on Clerkenwell-green , and that a proce-sion should be formed ; but whither it was to march was a profound secret . Seven o ' clock was the faonr appointed for the meetin ? . About that time the leaders of the party appeared and took their statien in a vant i there being from 3 , 000 to 4 , 000 persons present . Mr Williams was called on to preside , speeches of a very violent and inflammatory character were delivered bv SBTi ral Of the leaders , and after them the chairman called on the meeting to' fall to in marching order , ' an injunction tbat was instantly complied srith and with almost military exactness .
Williams and the other leaders then descended from the van , and having taken their place at tke head cr the procession , moTed along St John-gtwet , Goswel ! sheet , Old sheet-road , and along the Cityroad . On their way every street poured forth its inhabitants tojoin the ' moving mass . In the City-road , on its way to Finsbnry-sqoare , tfeeproceMjpn received a large accession ef strength , and on it aching tkat point where the City-road and Ficshury-square Unite the precession consisted of at least 7 , 000 persons . In FiGsbury-square they were joined by a large body from Stepney-green , where a meeting had also been he . d , Tbe unitfd body then proceeded through Chiswell-atrett , Smithfield , Holborn , King-street , aad Long-acre , &o . Every street they passed added its quota to the stream , so that by this time ( ten o ' clock ) it was quite itrpossible to estimate the nunib = rs with any decree of exactitude , ( The remainder of the report is incorrect , and therefore not worth giving . ]
According to the account in the Morning Pott a collision took place in Redcrosa -street , when some of the people and ssvsral of the police were seriously hurt . MANSION HOUSE . —The Distdsbance oh Mondat Night . —On Tuesday Thomas Clancey was brought before the Lord Mayor t . y dty policeman No . 366 , charged with having been vne of tbe ringleaders in the procession in the streets on Moaday night . Three pieces of paper were found upon the prisoner iu the station-house . They contained the following words : — 'N . B . Fifteen minutes is the tim « allowed in speaking . ' 'Hesolred—That this meeting being duly impressed with the utter hopelessness of the present government of this country , and of their cold and callous inclination to do justice to the peaple of these countries , we therefore call upon the Executive to proceed directly with the people ' s memorial to the Qaeen ,

Youmay judge of the treatment I received from the fact that , when I entered the station . hou 5 e , one of the police said , ' Ob , you hare got one of the Chartists , have jou V That was language wnicn you kcow ought not to be used by men in such situations .

I have justified ray conduct ; and I can safely state , that if a person 60 strongly connected with the government did not make false statements about the wonts and desires of the people , there wou'd have been no meeting' at all . Now , the gorernment had done very wrong in another respect too . They haTe Bent spies in amongst the people , and
that practice never has been known to work any good yet . Now , I stould wish to have two females , to whom spoke in the presence of these policemen , to give their evidence .

POLICE PROCLAMATION . On Tuesday the Commissioners of VbWes issued tha following caution : — Whereas meetings have recently been held of large num . bera of persons in different places in and near the metropolis and whereas on Monday nig ^ t last ( the 29 th ult . ) ptrsons who had been present at several of such meetings , afterwards assembled together and walked inlarge numbers in procession through some of tbe principal streets of the metropolis , under circumstances calculated to excite terror and alarm ; and whereas informatios has been received that such persons have declared their
intention of again assembling and proceedisg in the same manner through the streets of the metropolis ; and whereas the peaceable subjects of her Majefity are thereby alarmed , and the public peace is thereby endangered ; notice is hereby ffiven , that such assemblages and processions are illegal , and will not bo allowed : and all well-disposed persons are hereby cautioned to abstain from attending , beins present at , joining , or taking any part in such assemblages or pruees . sions . And notice ifl further given , that all necessary measures will be adopted to prevent such processions taking place , and effectually to protect the public peace , and to suppress any attempt at tho disturbance thereof .
PUBLIC MEETING ON CLERKENWELL GREEN .
( From the Times . ) Another meeting of physical force Chartists and Irish Confederates wan held on Tuesday evening , on Clerkenwel ' -grcen . The proceedings were nearly the same in spirit as those of the preceding evenfeg—the procession excepted . In consequence of what took place on Monday night a large body of police were stationed On Tuea day ia the Sessions-house and in the adjacent hocges , a fact which was communicated to the people as they armed , incase any outbreak took At ' seven o ' clock Mr Williams , Mr Sharp , aDd Mr Daly ( from the Irish Confederation ) , arrived , and wera immediately Burrounded by about 4 , 000
Mr Willum 3 was the first who claimed tho attention of the meeting . He said , the government and middle classes had now seen what oould be done by a proper system of organisation : . They had been rfenfed the privilege of having their bills , with refer , ence to the government treatment of Mr Mitcflel , nosted in various parts of the metropolis , and the ¦ hopkeepen nad been prohibited from exhibiting them in their windows . They had heard Lord John Ruseell state that the people in this country did not deroand an extensive measure ot reform , and that tbe Chartists were only few in number . Lord J . Russell and Mr Cobden might now learn that whether the middle clxsEes did or not demand reform , and whotherthe Chartists were few or many in number , their
present organisation had little to do with those questions , theirgreatobject being to deolare against a gross act of injustice which had been committed in the aiBter conntry . What he wished all those who heard him lo do was thiE—to go without on hour s delay and join some ' association ' or ' locality , ' whether it wsre the Irish Confederation or the Engh ? h Chartists he did not care a straw . It had been reported that there were not more than 12 000 persona present at any one time . Now , he had no hesitation in say . ing that when they went past the Chartist Assembly Hall in Dean-street , there were not fewer than 150 , 000 persons in their ranks . Mr Williams conwould be
cluded by remarking , that there no procession that evening , and he entreated them after having heard the addresses that would be delivered , quietly to disperse . Mr Shabp much regretted that he was unable to bo present on the previous evening , but althongh he was not in that procesBion he was at a great meeting at Greenwioh attended by a large number of the ' right sort . ' He had always declared , and he now deelared it more emphatically than ever , tbat a time must come when decisive measures must be taken to destroy the damnable and despotic power of the Whig Administration . That time had now oome , and he entreated his friends to be boldand
urflinch-Mr Dalt ( from the Irish Confederation ) next presented himself , and was reeeived with boisterous cheers . He said , he came there as one of the Irish Confederation for the purpose of asking his fellow countrymen immediately to form an offensive alliance with the Chartists of England .- The speaker was perceeding to denounce the government for their eonduct with regard to Mr MiteheJ , when a bndy of police appeared in sight , and a large proportion of the meeting began to move off ; the speaker denounced them as cowards , and inquired how they meant to Sght for their libertieo if they were afraid of such a handful of men ? He proceeded to say that there were 10 . 000 men at Wapping and a like number at Bermondsey , who , although they did not join the procession on tbe preceding evening , were ready to rise when called upon .
.... After sundry exhortations to the people to disperse qnietly , the leaders left the ground aboufc nine o ' clock . After the proceedings had terminated , and the assemblage bad become much thinned , a large body of police , aided by some of the horsemen of that force , drove the remaining persons from the Green . Several persons were kncck « d down by the police and were severely injured .
ANOTHER AFFRAY ON CLERKENWELL GREEN , ( From the Jlomivg Advertiser of Thursday . ) Ths threatened disturbances , on Clerkenwell-groen and various parts of the metropolis last night , created the most intense excitexBent in the x&inds of the inhabitants of the various localities . A threat having been made at aovtral of the Chartlet and Confederate clubs that they could , if any interrupt tion were offered to tbeir meetings , bum London in a few hours , the Commissioners otpolico sent notices to all persons in the district of the several meetings , request , ing them to keep the gas turned off at the mains . Prom an early hour in the day the ga vernment officials at the War-office , Scotland . yard , < fcc ., were engaged in adopting every precautionary measure for suppressing any outbreak that might occur .
The parish church at Clerkenwell ( that place having been Ssed upou for a demonstration ) was filled with foot BolditTS and policemea . The Sessions-houBO also contained nearly 1 , 000 polisemen , and 800 Chelsea pensioner * ( all under armSi ) A largo number of private housea on the Green were filled with special coastables , who In the course oi the day bad been called out . At about seven o ' clock bo fewer than 9 , 060 pertono were present At bKlf-paat seven o ' clock two troops of Horse Guards made their appearance on tbe Greea , over which they proceeded to St John-atroetj where they took up their quarters . The instant the soldiers came within view they were most enthusiastically cheered . The men took off their bats , which they vraved in the air as tbe soldiers passed . Having gently trotted over the Green , the military were "Withdrawn for the present .
The personB present were then addressed by aspoaker named Duncan , who exhorted them to make ' the Charter and Mitchel' their rallying cry . ( From the Morning Chronicle . ) Nine o'Clock , p . m . —At this hour not only was Clerkenwell-green densely orowded , but the several streets to tho same place were completely thronged : according to instructions given to the superintendents of police during the afternoon , an immense body of conata * bleson foot suddenly emerged from their places , and Bo .
gan to oiear the ground . Tbe majority of the crowd ran away , bat a great many obstinate fellows called upon them to stielt together , for tnere wero plenty of them to manage the police , Several hundreds of personB did so , and tbe consequence was , that not a few were removed onlj b ; violent measures . The policemen ' s truncheons weroustd without discrimination . Several parties were merely injured by the blows of the staves . By a desperate effort on the part [ of tbe police , the Greon was cleared , and sentinels were placed at the end of the various courts and bje-streete , to prevent any one from
passing . Tew o'clock , p . m . — -A great number of mounted polisa have juit arrived , and 3 ev « ral sections of foot police have Bucoeeded ia clearing Saffron-bill and the adjoining streets , but not without considerable difficulty and several partieB have received severe blows from tho policemen ' s truKcheonB . The whole of the Honourable Artillery Company have just taken up their quarters under arras at their depot ia Fiusbury . square . The pensioners of Greenwich arc also under arms , and ao are the artillery and the whole of the military at the Tower and various barracks . Special Constables —The superintendents of tke police have sent to the leaders of the special constableB circulars commaading the immediate assistance ef that body , who are to protect the varloua streetB during the absenco of the regular force .
Eleven p . h .-A number of disaffected persona have been attempting to get up OemonBtrationB in FlnBbuty-GqUBre , Smithfield , and other places , but owing to the activity cf the police , the meetings have been broken up . Twhve p . m . —Several vlelent attacks have been made npen the polloe in the different thoroughfares leading from Clerkenwell Greenand Finsbury-square , but , ' owing to the organisation of the force , the officers have not re . eeived much peraonaliDjury .

A continuous commnnioadon ia at tbe present time being kept up by tha Lerd Mayor , the commissioner of metropolitan police , and the military officers .

< Conrt . houue , and a largeaowsaionof milite ^ rarrived in thetowa . Orient wwnmed to the whole of toj special constables to be in attendance at bait-past threa o ' clock ; and when that time armed , one thou-¦ ndhidumnbted . The Halifax troop of yeomanry cavalry were ordered to hold themselves m readmesa in their quarters ; the Bradford troop of the same re iment was sent to Huddereficld ; tho lludderifleld troop marched to Halifax , and the Leeds two troops of the Yorkshire Hnasara were despatchedone to Selby , and , it iB said , the ether to Bingley . The who ' e of Bradford streets in the neighbourhood of the Court-house were almost blocked up with the people , and the yelling and hooting at the police and Bpeoial constables was tremendous . ^ ^^^
At four o ' clock , the whole of the police force , headed by Superintendent Brigg , inarched from the Court-house ; they were followed by one thousand special oouatablen , the Mayor and magistrates , two hundred infantry with fixed bayonets , and two troops of dragoons . This imposing force proceeded to Manchester-road , their object being to capture all the Chartist leaders residing there , and to search for arma , They met with no interruption until they arrived at the comer of Adelaide-street , the scene of the conflict in the morning . There the CharthtB had assembled in great force , completely filling the street , and when the police attempted to ferce their way a fearful onslaught commenced . The police drew their cutlasses , and the special constables their
staves , and they were met by the Chartists with bludgeons , stones , &o . Each side foueht desperately fora short time , but eventually the police and special constables were driven back , many of them dreadfully injured . The military , being in the rear , could not act at the onset , and the ranks of the civil power were tr own into confusion and disorder before tbe dragoons could be brought up . They galloped to the corner where the severest part of the fight had been , and the Chartists began to waver . An attempt , however , was made to unhostc some of the dragoons , by striking at their horses' fore legs with bludgeons . One man in particular who had wrested a staff from & constable was very conspicuous , his possession cf the truncbeoa inducing the belief in the reinds of
more than one dragoon tbat he was a special . He aimed several blows at the legs of the horses as they galloped up ; and , although he was cut and thrust at several times , the plunging of the horses . was 80 great that it is stated he escaped uninjured . The dragoona having galloped into the thick of the fight , very goon terminated the conflict , the Chartists beating ' s preffcy general and precipitate retreat . The police and specials then succeeded in capturing 18 of the most active of the Chartists , one of whom was armed with a dagger , and with which he attempted to stab several special constables and policemen . He and Borne others made desperate but ineffectual resistance . The forces then proceded down
Adelaidestreet and all the other streets and alleys in that populous neighbourhood known as the rendezvous of the Chartists , again visiting the houses of ' Wat Tyler' and Lightowler , neither of whom , however , wns at home ; and the searoh for arms in their dwellings was also unsuccessful . In one house a pike or spear , mounted upon an eight feet shaft , was found , and in others several pike shafts and pike heads , evidently recently separated , were discovered . Bullet moulds , quite warm , as if just used , lead models ef pike heads , apparently to be used in casting pikes , were taken from other houses . Mucq opposition was offered to the ingress of the police at some of tbe houses , and in two or three oases it was necessary to break open the doorB .
The search having been completed , and the supremacy of the law demonstrated , the forces returned to the court-house , were precaations were taken to quell any outbreak that might be attempted during the night Orders were issued to all | publicans and beerbouse keepers to close their houses at eight o ' clock ; and ia order to empower the military to act instanter if required , the riot act was read . The names of the parties apprehended are—William Sagar ( charged with drilling the Chartists , and threatening to shoot the constables when captured ) , George Copley , William Stott , George Ainley , William Connor , ! Francis Halstead , William Bairstow , William Smith , Jame 3 Downe , Henry Whitecombe , Thomas Glenman , Samuel Ratcliffe , Isaiah Heaton , Francis Vicary , Jehnstone , William Winterbottom . Jame 9 Darwin , Joseph Wood , and Mary , wife of Jo-BODh Mortimer .
William Sagar , after having been examined before the magistrates , waa committed to York Castle for trial at the assizes , and he was removed thither or Tuesday morning . The whole body ef special constables paraded the town throughout Monday night , and a troop of the 5 th dragoons remained all night under arms at the Court-house . No further disturbance took place during the night and no other apprehensions have as yet been made , though , from the police being aware of the retreat of some of the ringleaders , their capture is hourly expected . At ten o ' clock on Tuesday morning the Bradford magistrates met at the Court-house to hear the charges against the rest of the prisoners . There were also on tbe bench , Captain Edwards , M . P ., and Colonel Pollard , of Halifax , General Thorne , and several other military officers . The investigatiens were going on when this account was sent off .
LEEDS . ( From the Morning Chronicle . ) In Leeds , although no actual outbreak has taken place , the Chartists have for nearly a fortnight been engaged in training and drilling , while at several sectional meetings which usually precede these military exercises the speakers have openly advisod arming as the only . eaeans of attaining their objects . These proceedings have not escaped the attention of the civil authorities , and on Tuesday a caution was ia . sued by the police against drilling or military exercises , stating that parties so offending wero liable to
transportation . This morning , shortly after seven o ' clock , about sixty of the 52 nd regiment of infantry , and aboufc the same number of pensioners , arrived at Bingley , having travelled by a special train from Bradford . Neatly at the same moment two troopa of the Yorkshire Hussars marched into town from Otley . The immediate cause of the soldiers , being marched into Bingley waB to assist the civil authorities in the apprehension of a number of men who on Friday last resoued Thomas Kilvington and William Smith , Whom Mr Buafeild Fen-and had committed to York Castle .
As soon as the soldiers arrived , the company of the 52 nd were drawn up at the railway station , the Hussars formed in sections in some of the approaches to the stition , and the pensioners , with fixed bayonetSj accompanied MrFi'irandandsomeoftbe police to several mills and workshops , where sixteen men were apprehended . MoBt , if not all , of those apprehended for taking part in the rescue were identified by Mr Ferrand himself . The names of the parties arrested are Isaac Ickeringill , Joseph Boilings , Thomas Bottqmley , Henry Shaekleton , Ralph Slater , Jobn Smith , Fielding Whone , Isaac Eagland , Thomas R&wsthorne , Thomas Whittaker , Edward Lee , James Crabtree , John Taylor , Wiliiam Smith , Robert Atkinson , and John Quiun . The prisoners wero placed in a railway carriage , and conveyed by a special engine to York Castle .
Last night there was a large open-air meeting of Chartists at Bradford , which passed off quietly . The examinations before tbe Bradford magistrates on Tuesday , ended in the committal of eight men to take their trials for riot . Ib Leeds all is quiet .
DISTRESSED STATE OF . LANCASHIRE . PUBLIC MEETINGS SUPPRESSED . On Monday last , placards appeared on the walls of Manchester , calling a great meeting , to ba kalden in Stevengon'g-Bquaio on Wod . nesday . On Tuesday , the magistrates issued a notice prohibiting the meeting . We take the following account ( abridged ) from the Manchester Guahdian : — ' On Wedneeday morning preparations had been made on a large Bpsle to prevent the meeting . A deputation professing to represent the parties intending to asuemb'e , waited on the ] authorities on Tuesday night , and again en Wednssday morning , and expressed their belief that the meeting , if allowed to take plac , would be a peaceable one , and a hope that the prohibition would ba remored . The magistrates , however , refused to accede to this request .
The whole borough police with the addition of supernumeraries and a body of special constables , were placed in different parts of the borough , and on the roads leading to Ashton , Oldham , and Stockp < . tt , where the principal bodies of men were expected to come from early in the morning ; aiid towards eleven o'clock information being received of a large body of working men being on their route from Oldhara , and smaller bodies from other towns , the military were called out by Lieut .-Gcneral Sir Thomas Arbuthnot , and bodies ot the 11 th Hussars and 63 rd Intantry weie stationed in Stevcnson ' a-square , where tbe meeting was to have been he , d , and in parts of the borough . Br dies of police also went out towards Failsworth , where it was announced that the meeting was adjourned to .
Shortly after eleven o ' clock a messenger arrived at Manchester who stated that the people were rioting at Failsworth , and Lieut .-General Sir Thomas Arbuthnot and a troop of the 11 th Hussara proceeded thither at once , and Mr Maude and Mr Murray , both coumy maeistrate ? , and who were in Stevenaon ' agquareat thetimq the information was received , pro ceeded thither with the cavalry . Sir Thomas intimated that if he found the rioters with arms in their hands , he should at once order the cavalry to disperse them . Wo havo sinco heard that the body of men advance ing frsra Oldham to Manchester , on learning from some of their eomrades ia this city the ample preparations that had been made to prevent their entering Manchester , changed their determination .

DISTURBANCES IN YORKSHIRE . ( From the Daily A « w of Monday . ) TntJie DAiLi NEWBof Thursday last allusion ^ aa raado to tho demonstrations which had ^ en fade at Bradford , for several days previously , , by the unemployed operatives , who had assembled in large bedies aid had paraded the chief streets of the town with Chartist banners , pikes , and other weapons , tor . omTtime paafc it has been known to the maratem S rSesthat nightly drillings of arge numbers of nersona have taken place m the neighbourhood , but f Snot until Friday last that any of the . parties weKMe amenable to tha law . On that day two r / nv ^ . rebrou . hfcbefore MrB . Ferrand . amagwtrate ,
at Bingley . charged with unlawful drilling , ana , after the nectary depositions had been taken , they were fully committed to York Castle for trial at the next assizes . As soon as the commitment had b- en Lade out , the men werooent off to Jork « charge of two constables , but before they had reached the railway station , they were attacked by a mob of persons , who rescued the prisoners , and took them to ablack smith ' s smithy , where their handcuff * were hied oil . Shortly afterwards the clerk to the magistrate , , in the discharge of his duties , had filled up the warattacked the moband
rant of commitment , was by . wns held for some time aver the battlements of the bridge during which time it was debated whether he should be dropped into the water , or restored to terra firtna . The lacter course was resolved on , and he escaped without much bodily injury , though his drew was much damaged . During the evening , a large pleasure boat , belonging to Mr 1 onlds , one ot the conatables , which was moored on the canal , was net on fire , and burnt to the water ' s etfge . A despatch whs sent to Bradford for | some of the military atatinRed there : but Major General Thorn , the
commander of the district , who has been several days at Bradford in daily communication with the magistrfttfs there , did not deem it expedient to divide the forces then at Bradford , and suggested the calling out of the yeomanry force of the district . On Saturday , however , additional reintorcements of infantry and a detachment of artillery arrived from Leeds , whfch bave been replaced by other forces from Hull and other military btations . WHIG ' REIGN OF TERROR IN
YORKSHIRE . ALLEGED TRAINING AND DRMING . —INFAMOUS ATTEMPT TO DISARM THE PEOPLE . —HUB . DEROUS ATTACK UPON THE WORKING MEN OF BRADFORD , BY THE 'SPECIALS , POLICE ,
AND MILITARY . ( From the Times . ) Tfce peace of several of the prinoipal manufacturing towns , particularly Bradford and Bingley , has been more or leas disturbed during the last few days . Owing to tbe depression of the worsted manufacture , and the introduction of machinery that has superseded the use of manual labour ifl the process of woolcombing , much distress and suffering have for a considerable time been experienced by the manufacturing operatives .
. ... The authorities hare for some time been aware that the Chartists at Bradford , Halifax , Bitigley , and other towns in the riding , wero arming and enrolling themselves in clubs , which they caU Life and Property Protection Societies , or National Guards ; ' and that these clubs regularly assemble , oth in and out of the townp , for the purpose ot being drilled in military evolutions , and especially in the use of the piko , large quantitiesof which weapoB , it is understood , have been made in different parts of the district . Bradford hag been the chief seat of
the ? e nooeedings . On Sunday a very large gathering of the advocates of the ' six points' took place at Wilsden , about tour miles from Bradford , BiDgley , and Keighley , and those aasembled openly practised training and drilling : From 2 000 to 3 , 000 men , armed chiefly with bludgeons , and the different ranks preceded in many cases by black banners surmounted with pike heads , marched in military array upon the ground , and went through various evolutions preparatory to tbe commencement of the meeting . _ The determination wan then expressed of resisting by arms any attempt by the authorities te capture the leaders . There were several violent speeches delivered , and the assembly , who stood t he pelting of a terrific storm of lightning , thunder , hail , and rain , marehed back to their respective towns in the same military order in which they went to the meeting .
The magistrates at Bradford , in the meanwhile , had not been idle . About 2 , 000 special constables were sworn in . The police toroe wero armed with cutlasses , and two companies of tbe 39 th regiment , two troops of the 5 th Dragoon Guards , and about thirty of the Royal Horse Ariillery were despatched on Saturday from Leeds , and two companies of the 81 st were ordered up from Hull . The Second West York Yeomanry Cavalry were called out , and the Yorkshire Huasars were also marched to the mest advantageous points . AtBiiiuiey , on Friday , two Chartist leaders were csptured by the police on the charge of drilling some
• National Guards , ' and taken before Mr W . B . Ferrand , m * istrate , by whom they were committed to York for trial at tbe next asBizes . As soon as the capture ( i the two leaders became known , the alarm was given to their foliowers , and upon the police attempting to convey the prisoners to the railway station , in order to their being removed to York , they were surrounded by some 2 , 000 persons , who beat them dreadfully , and rescued tho two prisoners , and they got clear off . Indeed , so emboldened were these parties that one of the rescued was a speaker at the meeting at Wilsden on Sunday , and was loudly cheered when he recounted the success of his
first little emeute . , On Monday morniDg the Bradford magistrates issued the following caution : — Borough of Bradford , in tU Wett Riding of Yorkshire . CAUTION . TVhcreas , processions of large numbers of people , attended with circumstances tending to excite fear and alarm in the minds of her Mnjestj ' s subjects , and training and drilling , or practising military movements or exercise , are highly criminal and illegal : and whereas , not only those persona who take an active part at any sueh processions and drilling , but all who by their pre them to
Bence wilfully countenance , are acting contrary law all persons are hereby cautiantd and strictty enjoined not to attend , or take any part in , or be present at such processions or drillings ; and all well-disposed persons are hereby called upon and required to aid in enforcing the provisions of the law , and effectually to protect the public peace , and suppress any attempt to distui'b the satno . R , MllLIOAN ( Mayor ) Chahms Habdt J . P . Tempest John Rand H . W . WicKHAH 1 . W . WlCKHAM JOSHUA POLLABD T . G . CtAITON Bradford Courthouse , May 29 , 1818 .
Simultaneously with the issuing of this notice a poase of special constables were called out for the purpose of apprehending two of the most violent and dangerous of th <; Chartistleaders—namely , D . Lightowler ( one of the representatives at the National Convention and Assembly ) and Isaac JeffersoD , alias ' Wat Tyler , ' the reputed principal ChartUt pikemaker of the district , a raan of Herculean strength . About forty special constables started on this awkward mission , tho men they were directed to capture living in the strongholds ot Chartism in Bradford —namely , Manohester-road and the Bmall Btreets leading into it . The specials arrived at Adelaidestreet , Manchester-road , about seven o'clock in the morning , at which time Lightowler and ' Wad Tyler '
were at home ; but by the advice of their friends , when the constables arrived at the front door of their houses , they , themselves , escaped out of the back . In a faw minutes , and before they oould satisfy themselves that the two men they were in search of had escaped , the special constables found themselves surrounded by more than 1 , 000 men , women , and children , who pounced upoa them from every avenue , and completely hemmed them in the narrow street , fluty attempted to retreat , but were assailed by a volley of stones , which stopped their progress Immediately after the stones had been thrown , the principal portion of the women and children , as if by concert , withdrew , and an attack waa made upon the specials by hundreds ef men armed with bludgeonspokers , and other missiles . Tbe special con
, stables fought , but were overpowered by the over whelming number or their assailants , whose ranks were continually receiving acoesfiions , and whose object was to bar all means of retreat . After a severe conflict , tbe speoiato were at length able to rescue themselves from their position ; and when a little more room had been gained heads were broken pretty freely on both sides . What damage the Chartists sustained it is difficult to say , but tho injuries of some of &iie special constables wore very severe . One of then ) . Mr Buckley , a Burgeon , was so dreadfully eut acd wounded that his life was despaired of , but he has since somewhat rallied . Others of the body were more or less injured . They were followed for a considerable distance by 4 he people , who continued to shower bricks and atones after them like
kail . The news of this affray spread rapidly , and the town became all exoitemenfc . The shops were closed , great numberof persons congregated in the streets , and the Chartists of the out-townships of the borough , to the number of several thousands , marchtd down in bodies , and paraded tho Btreeta in procession in military array . They , however , after a time , retreated , it was aaid , for the purpose of summoning all their fnenda ; and it was observed that several carrier pigeons were sent up ia the caurse of the forenoon , and took their flight towards Halifax , tyueenshead , Bingley , < fcc . Thia is a mode of communication that has been notoriously practises by theChavtifitaofthe West Ridiug for the last six week 3 or more ; and they boasted on Monday that in a fewhsura they would be able to create a Chartist attack in the places to which they sent the aerial communicators , or Chartists thence would arrive in Bradford .
