molished . I also went to see the premises of Mr . Becton , in Lower Mosley-street , and here similar devastation was to be seen . The factory windows , with the windows of the dwelling-house of Mr . Becton , and those of two other adjoining houses occupied by his managers , are all smashed . The town is is a state of great excitement . The military and the police are moved from one part of the town to another , in order to disperse the people , bnt without effect ; for as soon as they have accomplished it in one part , their presence ib required in another .
John Edward Taylor , of the Mandasler Guardian , states that the depredations committed are attributable to the Chartists . This is as blaok a falsehood as could be uttered . I am bold to say that there was not a leading Chartist in the mob ; and although some of the Chartists have taken part in the meetings , it has been for the express purpose of advising the people to be peaceable , under the conviction that the Anti-Corn Law party are at the bottom of the whole concern .

THE NIGHT BEFORE THE NOTTINGHAM ELECTION . ( From our own Correspondent . ) There is certainly no parallel in electioneering records to the recent Nottingham struggle , neither Is there in toe whole history of party politics a single scene at all comparable to that which the night before the election alluded to furnished . The struggle is over , as far as exhibitions of mind and body go , and Mr . Walter , like the rest horse of the team , is once more in the shafts as occasional Member" for Nottingham . His glory , however , will be of Bhort duration , as each succeeding day—nay , hour , brings te light some fresh enormity illustrative of the fact thst Nottingham was to be bought , no matter the price ; cheap if we can , dear if we must . Bat to our sketch .
After the nomination a great meeting assembled in the Market Place , at which the Blues were expected in increased force ; nor were the victorious Chartists unprepared . Nothing unusual or worthy » f particular remark occurred at the meeting , and therefore we dissolve it , and commence with the perambulator ? choir . At eight o ' clock or thereabouts , an immense procession of about ton deep was formed . O'Connor , MT > E > uall , Cooper , Jones , West , Sweet and Clarke , leading the way—Cooper with bis stunning tenor leading the musician * . In this order they traversed the whole town , and upon reaching the Button Road were joined by a procession of about 200 brave Suttpners , who npon learning that O'Connor bad been seriously injured , manned fourteen miles at a few
minutes notice to satisfy their own mindj . The meet * ing of tne waters was bnt a placid ripple compared with the meeting of these two tides of opinion . The cheers were deafening ; when they had subsided , the Suttoners took the bead of the procession , and then , innoculated with fresh vigour , again the town was traversed till ten o'dock , when toe Button men were bllletted in the Cnartbt chapel , their wants , physical and intellectual , were attended to , the brave Sweet discharging the office of caterer for the body , while Jl'Dpuall regaled the mind with one of those pleasing and instruc tive effusions , which nod ready access to the heart , through the delighted ear . At eleven o ' clock O'Connor visited the Saturn battalion , and was received -with , such cheers , as the chapel w&s stranger to . After this the leaders repaired to the guard room , which should be here described . The unite of rooms furnished by that veteran patriot , Mr . Samuel Bean , five in number , were all for the night at the disposal of the night
watch , and each was occupied by the most zealous of ihe Chartist body . The two largest were assigned to the relief guard , and the noora furnished a welcome bed for the exhausted occup&nta . The staff had not been more than half an hour in quarters when tee music of the Blue band struck upon their ears , and instantly it was proposed to muster the Chartist band ; but , unfortunately , the musicians had left town . In this dilemma Mr . O'Connor inquired whether it was possible to procure some drummers and flfers , but it was hopeless . He then asked if Frenoh horns could be procured t "No , be Jaaus ! " replied a fine stout Irishman ; " but I'll tell you what ; we have the best piper in Ireland , and the boya in the lane would rather hear it nor all the music under the snn , " and oft Pat Malone ( for bo in ignorance of our friend ' s name we shall call him ) jumped for the piper ; and in his ababDoe We take the liberty of narrating an anecdote of the immortal Patrick .
After the nomination three gentlemen In the interest of Mr . Walter did Patrick the honour of waiting npon him . Pat , however , was absent , and Mrs . . Malone presented herself upon her husband ' s behalf , and npon being questioned as to Pat ' s vote , she said she knew nothing about tt , that her man would be in presently ; the presently arrived , and with it the canvassers , who then accosted Malone , " Well Mr . Malone , wo are corns to solicit your vote and Interest" Mr . Malone , ? " Wisha then , its a cowld job , for I have neither yete nor interest . " *• Well , but , Mr . Malone , if we procure your vote for you , will yen give It to Mr . Walter ?" " My vote , why I ' m not a free man , and has no vote . " " Well , but if we get it for you , will y « u give it to Mr . Walter V " What , Pat Malone vote for bloody ould
Walter ? so , be Jascs , I'll cut my tongue out first , not for a thousand , no nor for ten thousand pounds . " And so ended the interview ; when Pat being more shrewd than polished , Immediately repaired to the committae room , and having mentioned the case to Mr . Sturge ' s agent , search was made , and sura enough there stood the name of Patrick Malone , as a ten pound householder . When learning the fact , Paddy jumped Jika a deer , and exclaimed , " Arrah ! be Jasus ,. tbtn , sure enough , won't Paddy Malone be the first man in the morning to vote for Sturge and the Charter ! " and honest Paddy , who by this bad returned with his piper , was as good as his word . The piper arrived ; Mr . O'Connor called for an Irish jig , while M'Douall was iu search of the Suttpn brigade . The jig was struck up , and Paddy and a partner , a fine strapping mountaineer , set to a merry jig , each with a shillalah in his hand , playing the crick-skull exercise , to the tune of the
foxhunter ' s jig , to the great delight of the spectators . By this time the Sutton brigade , under Jl'PouaU , had arrived , and instantly the word " Turn out the guard !" was given , and passed from room to room ; and in less than ten minutes a procession , six a-breast and more than 100 yards long , was formed in front ot the guardroom , the piper at their head , with Pat Malone on one side and his athletic partner in the dance on the other . Thus marshalled , with O'Connor , Cooper , M' -Donall , West , and Joaes at their head ( Mead and Clarice being appointed to Arnold ) , the procession , under the guidance of Pat Malone , proceeded through the Irish part of the town , as Pat said , just to wake the boys ; and sure enough the boys dressed themselves in double quick time , to the tune of St . Patrick ' s day in the morning . By twelve o ' clock the procession was immense , and the Blue band silenced , and even the pipes smothered in the chorus of
Spread , spread the Charter ! spread the Charter through the land ; Let Britons bold and brave join heart in hand . The music of a thousand voices . Cooper leading them , ail ronstrd the sleeping cottagera from their rest , who hud ample time to dress before the tail of the precession passed . The night was calm and serene , and the gas shone bright , while many an illuminated window told a tab of Tory midaight purity . For two and a half hours the vast assemblage had traversed the town cbetring at the friendly mansion and groaning at the foe ' s retreat , until at length a halt was made before tke Conservative Assembly Booms at half-past one , and the full meiody of Chartist song
burst from every throat , which appeared as if by magic to extinguish the shining light of faction inside , for darkness followed the blaze . After this the procession proceeded to the house of Mr . Samuel Ton , where Mr . Sturge was stopping , and bete a scene occurred which bafflis all dtBcription . The vast assemblage formed into a hollow square , and sung and cheered , until Sturge , aroused from his slumber , presented himself at a window , and his appearance was hailed with cheers that aade the town ring again . " Well , my friend , " said honest Joseph , "hast thou met with any suspicious characters to-night ? " " Not many , " was the reply ; Which was followed by nine times nine cheers . The procession again formed , and , aa if by mutual coaeent , stinck
np—* 'We won't go home till morning , We wont go home till morning , We won't go home till morning , Till Walter runs away , Till Walter runB away . Till Waiter runs away . " After having left Mr . Sturge , the procession marched through the whole to * o , and at half-past two returned te their quarters , when the four Sutton glee singers were in attendance , who regaled the brigade , or rather staff , with some excellent glees . We were not long . in quarters , when «« Turn oat the guard ] " resouaded through the barracks , and npon the instant all were upon their Ieg 3 headed by thtir leaders , in quick pursuit of a party of Blue skirmishers who had stolen a voter > he was an elderly gentleman , within a shade of the police act ,
inasmuch as Mb steps were unsteady , his walk circuitous , arid his eye jolly . In less than two minutes the prize was in the hands of the Chartists , and was safely convejed to his own house at half-past three , when his wife in a state of great alarm threw the key from the window , the Chartists opened the door , and remained till it was locked inside , after which having received the thanks of the released veter and his lady , they stationed six atcut fellows as a guard upon the door , With Strict injunctions that no influence should be ns 6 d by them , while no intrusion should be permitted from the enemy . We were not long in quarters after this skirmish when " Tom out the guard" again assailed our ears , and again the guard was out to Reform yard > where a voter had been besieged during a whole night by tne enemy , but was quickly restored to freedom by the Chartist staff , and a strong guard also left for hia protection- . . .-:. i : : ; ; - ; - ^ - ;
In our progress we met Tory magistrates , Tory captains , Tory agents , and Tory bludgeon-men flying in twos and threes in all directions from the ward nightwatch , —for every ward taai Its night-watch . At length the day began to dawn , and sypmtoms of blue butcberB , blue fishmongers , and bine bakers presented themselves , bnt shortly disappeared before the Chartist procession , which was all marshalled , with the brays Sottonera at their head , precisely at four o'clock , and upon the word being given , all moved towards the market place , where , the booths had been erected , and which O'Connor bod pled fed himself to be in possession of fey a quarter past four and by that hour every inch of ground was in possession of the people , the tooths being literally lined outside . . Tfcufl matters proceeded till eight o ' clock , at which hour the Tcrus had mustered in the booths in the

greatest number , and , emboldened by this , a large boayof bine devils rushed into the market-place , And attempted to fores the Coartieia back ; but In less than five minutes the rufiacs were driven from the field in all directions , and ( f 6 r the remainder of the day , and up to the close of the election , the Markst-place remained ia the undisturbed possesiohof the Chartists . To describe the scene which was kept up fer eight mortal hours would be impossible ; excitement never abated , but on the contrary appeared to increase as the hours rolled on . ¦ ¦ ¦ . . ' . •¦ ' ¦ . ¦ '¦ ¦ ¦ v .. : . : ' . ¦ . . ¦ .. :-: \ - - ¦¦ ¦ - ¦ ' ¦ ¦ - .: ¦¦ . -: .
Attyn o '« lpck , Walter was beat , dead beat , and be discovered , for the first time , that virtue would rally around Sturge ; and then to work went Tory gold and Whig influence . The rascally compromisers , alarmed for their £ 4000 , began to exert : their influence ; many Whigs polled foi Walter , and about forty-four publicanii , who were operated npon by double motives , also flew to the rescue . The Whig magistrates being the compromisers , threatened with loss of license upon the one hand , while Sfcurge ' s anti-tippling resolution , rendered them unfriendly upon the other , and yet , in spite of all did Sturge p » ll 1801 electors , being a large majority of tne registered constituent body , while Walter ' a Parliamentary title consists In many voices from the grave , and many sweet ones purchased with Tory gold ; bat faowbeit , out he vwill certainly go , once ^ more , and , perhaps , loss in cash will teach him a lesion which loss of character does not aa yet appear to have impressed upon his mind .
At four o ' clock , the market-place was crammed ;^ and the feeble Tory crew proclaimed the feeble Tory triumph , which was followed by groans from the assembled thousands ; and immediately Mr . OGqnnpr presented himself at the window of his lodgings , and was hailed with the most enthusiastic cheers . ; ; Alderman : Wakefleidj theI head conspirator , Bind a number of his Wfaigf dupes were ia the opposite windowa of the police courts ; and if \ Vaitor writhed under the castigatibn on the previous day at tLe nomination , Wakefield and his crew must have quailed under O'Connor ' s lash when he said , "You ara now » you slaves , Well represented : you have a renegade Whig and a renegade Tory . " Wakefield and hi « party ^ could not stand the thousands of honest fingers which were indignaatly pointed at them , amid groans an ( V execrations , and were literally driven from their peeping holes .:
O'Connor then put on his boots , without skin on bis heels , and hopped across the market-place , where he again addressed them . V ¦ ¦ ¦ ' '¦¦' ¦ . A public meeting which was announced : for seven o ' clock , in the Market-place , was addHfifled by O'Connor , M'Dooall , Clarke , and West ; Roberts , O'Connor ' s seconder being in the chair ; towards the close of the busluesa , West announced that he bad bisen grossly insulted by some blue lambs , who threatened to murder him and O'Connor . This threat roused the blosd of the Irish Catholics , who immediately after the
procession bad escorted O'Connor home , formed themselves with a powerful party , and paraded the town the whole of Friday night , occasionally passing O'Connor ' s lodgings , and cheering . One circumstance should not be omitted , the blues contemplated having a procession , and at about half-past seven , made their appearance in the Market-place , with a vast number of bine flags and banners ; but upon beholding the Chartist gathering , the whole party became simultaneously panic-stricken , dropped their banners , and scampered off in all directions , to the great aameement of the Chartista .
After the meeting , the Chartists formed a procession , sung through the streets , accompanied O'Connor to bis home , and thus terminated the ever-memorable Nottingham struggle , in which virtue pat vice to filmme and sobriety gained a lasting triumph over dissipation . We must new return for a moment to the notice of the Reverend Mr . Stephens , whom his friend , the rimes , rejoices now to call his Conservative Friend . This gentleman proceeded on Thursday after the nomination to the house of Mr . Oliver , the printer , for the purpose of revising and correcting a Tory speech ,
which he made upon his health being proposed by Walter ' s Committee , and while there was recognisea by many a poor fellow who had stinted himself of a dinner to augment the Stephens' Defence Fond . About a hundred persons collected outside ; some crying oat D—n thee , give me my ebiHing , I wanted a dinner when I gave it thee ; give me my threepence , thou devil J " Mr . Oliver iu vain tried to appease and , disperse them , by calling in the police ; when fortunately Mr . OCjnnor made his appearance , and persuaded the people to go peaceably away . V .

On Saturday' morning , Mr . Feargos O'Connor and Alderman Frearson , accompanied by a number of the most respectable inhabitants , and surrounded by thousands of the good people / appeared at the police office , to answer to the several charges preferred against them , and in less thau a minute the large room was crammed . Nine magistrates were in atteudanca , the mayor in the chair ; when Mr . Bowly , solicitor for the plaintiSs , announced that it was not bis intention to offer any evidence in support of the charges ; that be , therefore , abandoned the case against both defendants . : ¦ o ..- / . ' ¦¦ ¦ ¦ : ' ::, ' ¦ ' ' : '¦ ¦¦ '' .. ' ' ' . - ' Mr . Alderman Frearoon said , that he demanded an apology for the insults offeied to him , and insisted upon the proceedings going forward . Mr . Browne , solicitor for Mr .

Makchzstke . —Wednesday Morning \ Tuilf-past fow o ' clock . —^ The decision of the delegates from the power-loom factories , of which I sent an account jester day , was that they would hold a public meeting in Granby Row Fields , at four o ' clock on this ( Wednesday ) monrinff .
At ahoat half-past four o clock Mr . Croslay , from Staljbridge , was unanimously called to ( he chair . Heopened the proceedingBbystating that thel ) U 3 ines 3 of the meeting was totako into consideration the best plan to be adopted to secure a fair day ' s wage for a fair day ' s work . - . ' . The meeting was addressed by Mr . Donavan , Mr . I&db , Mr . M'Csrteey , Mr . I > oyle , and Mr . IHxon . The latter gentleman told the people that he thought the anti-Corn Law League was at the bottom of these reductions . It would be remembered by many present thai that oracle of the League , JDickey Cobden , had told Sir Robert Peel that if the Corn
Laws were not repealed it would be impossible to keep the people in the manufacturing districts . in Subordination ; and the ihannfaetarers being desilous Of rnaking tb . eit prophet appeal as a trae onp , fcad adopted the plan of reducing wages to drive the people to desperation . But he ( Mr . Dixon ) hoped that the people would have more good sense than to ¥ e made the tools of the parties who had proved their greatest enemies ; and that they would , whilst endeavouring to get -an advance of wages , be deter- , ttfiied W keep tie peace . The number present was ajbeov tea thoosana . After the meeting they formed ju t * procession to gc- through the manufacturing fttrt « of tiie town .
- About half-past Dve o ' clock , s number of females liMembled in the neighbourhood of Great Ancoatsstt « et , said " proesed throcgh the main streets , their BlmberB all the wKle angmenting . Their object WX 5 to step ihe various nulls not already stopped . Hsvmgsudceeded in bringmg oat the workpeople in-the employ of Mr . Moor , of Mill-street , they tiren proceeded to the mill of Messrs . Kennedy , wbere tbeir application for the dismissal of their * hands" having been refased , they poured a tre-Aendeos volley of stones into the windows , burst open the outer door , and were about to rash into ti * e factory , when a posse of police arrived , headed bfSirG . Sbaw . A Ecene hereupon took place which
b&fflaa all description . The police charged the people , sparing nefrhar age nor sex , but laying about them right and left with their bludgeons and cutlasses ; many were knocked down and beaten till they were unable to rise from the ground . One old man , eighty-two years of age , and within a few yards of bis own door , had his head cut in a most shocking manner by a blow from & cutlass . A great quantity of stones were thrown ; and the people having rallied , the police , who had separated in fogrs and fives to nse their bludgeons and enilassea , scampered oS ia all directions , amidst the corses
a&d execrations of the immense assemblage ; nor did they stop till they were told by their superiors tbxt the military were close at hand . The military thea cause op , consisting of a detachment of Dragoons and another of tfce Eifie Brigade . The police again returned to the charge , and-with the assistance oi ' the soldiery succeeded in dispersing the people , and capturing many , chiefly boys , whom , they took into Messrs . Kennedy ' s mill ? and after a Bhort time , cjarcned them down under an escort of both horse and foot , and a numerous body of the police to the Borough Court for examination .
At twelve o ' clock , the people again assembled in Granby Jtow Pields , according to the decision of tie iaeeting in the . morning . Mr . I > onavan was unanimously called to the chair . He said thai , as a working man , and a power-loom weaver , he would Tatbex die than go to work , until he had a fair rem ' ujieratiDnfor hisiabour . His was not a solitary eas § : He . had three children and a wile . He dare Botjgo home ; for if ie did , these children would askEm for bread , and he nad none to give them ; aiidhfi / was : inre that thoasand 3 of those who now hearftiimlwerein the iime condition . ( Loud cries of * 3 fesi we . are . **) Mr . D . made a powerful appeal" to , tne people , during which he was loudly cheer | d ; The meeting was also addressed by Messrs . D ^ ofi ^ , Lane F . M * Brophy , WooIenBtan , and others . The / numbers present were from 15 , 000 to ¦
2 ff , 000 . ¦•• _ ¦; it resolution w&s passed by acclamation— " That a Bjaeting of the rarioas trades and working men be held on this ground on to-morrow morning , at six o ' oldck ; ai d that we do not return to work until we have the prices paid to ns for our labour that we had in the beginning of 1840 .

From other sources we collect the following : — Between fifty and sixty persons have been apprehended , and lodged in the New Bailey prison Threats have been nttered in many parts of the town that the New Baiiey shall be pnlled down , « nd the prisoners liberated . In some instances temporary places of confinement have been demolished- The police officers on Wednesday heard of an intention to attack the lock-up at Newtown . A etrong body was despatched thither , and arrived just in time to find the deed
accomplished they had been sent to prevent . The attack commenced about a quarter-past twelve o ' clock , the crowd throwing stones at the lock-up , which is a small building , formerly a dwelling , but altered so as to form a police-station , where several men are generally on duty . They soon forced a way into tne premises , and very speedily demolished the furniture . They then tore down doora , window-frames , the beams of the roof , and we are assured by an eyewitness that in ten minutes the place was almost literally levelled with the ground .
Shortly afterwards , a report reached the policeoffice that the same body of men intended to attack the Manchester Gas Works , at Newtown ; and about half-past twelve a strong body of the police was despatched thither . We understand that the Gaa Works had become an object of attack from the circumstance that some of the turn-outs who had been captured by the police , had been conveyed there for safety : and the crowd expressed a determination to rescue the prisoners . Since writing the above , we learn , that the attack was made ; the mob speedily forced open the doors of the gas-works , broke two or three windows , and did some other damage , but not to any considerable
extent . They found the two prisoners of whom they were" in search , in the custody of thre « policemen . They beat the policemen severely , and rescued the prisoners . From an eye witness who waa on the spot shortly afterwaruB , we learn that about halfpast oae o ' clock there could not be fewer ihan 8 , 000 or 10 , 000 people in the neighbourhood ; the dragoons were galloping about , with drawn sabres , driving the people back ; strong bodies of the police and the 60 th Rifles were keeping the end 3 of the streets in various directions , bo as to prevent the mob passing ; and this was the state of things in the streets for about half a mile round the gas works in all directions .
Another report , brought to the police-office SOOut ihe ' same time , wa ? , that the rioters intended to visit the Liverpool and Manchester Railway ( and probably others ) with the object of tearing up the fails , and thus , as they hoped , preventing any reinforcements of military reaching the town . The Ittot Act was read opposite Stirling and Beckton ' s Lower Mosley-street , by Daniel Maude , Esq , at an ear ^ iour this morning . One of the Borough Magistrates also read the Riot Act in the neighbourhood of the Gas Work , at the attack there .
OiDHiM . —When the body of tnrn-onts , who had left Ashton . as above stated by our correspondent , arrived at Oldham , tney attacked several factories on that side of the town by which they entered ; amongst which were those of Messrs . John Wortbington and Sens , Messrs . Joseph Rowland and Sons , and one or two others . When they ms . de their appearance at Messrs ., Worthington ' 8 factory one of the firm very imprudently presented a blunderbus at them , and narrowly escaped very serious abuse . At tbis place , the police made a stand against them ; and , after a a severe conflict , in which several of them received considerable injury , succeeded in securing two tarn-out 3 whom they lodged in prison , and -whe were subsequently committed by the magistrates for trial at the next assizes . A letter from a friend of ours in Oldham just recsiredsars : —
i The factory bands have struck wort in this town I and neighbourhood this day ( Wednesday . ) The IXiniXG MEN C ? THE CHARTISTS HAVE BEEN SWORN iv special constables . There has been a meeting to-night , and the turn-outs appear determin ed to persevere . They are to have another meeting tomorrow ot nine o ' clock .

£ 4 9 3 Abduction Case . —At the Liverpool Assizes on Tuesday , John Orr M'Gill , Richard Jones , Jane Clayton , John Osbnrn Qaiok , and Thomas Wormand RogerBOn , were indicted for carrying off Misb Crellin , from Liverpool to Gretna , and there by administering stupefying driDk , forcing her into a marriage with M'Gill . Mr . Baines conducted the prosecution . He said the proseeutrix was an elderly woman , of weak mind , having property to the amount of ^ 4 , 000 . Several counsel appeared for the -defendants . After a loag investigatiop , the Lord Chief Justice summed up . His Lordship said that the Learned Counsel had laid the evidence
before the jury as if 5 n case Miss Crellin had made herself drunk , and if after that the prisoners had carried her away , they were not guilty . He , ( ihe Lord Chief Justice , ) however , was of opinion that though the individaal bad intoxicated herself , if any one fcoek advantage of that state to take her avray and marry her ag&inBt her consent , and did carry her away , though ever so little distance , with that intention , against her will , Euch party wja guilty of the offence charged . The Jury retired , and re-entsred the Court at a quarter-past nine . They pronounced John Orr M'Gill , Richard Jones , John OaboTn Qpicfc , and Jane Clayton , guilty . Margaret Jones and Thomas Wormand Hogerson were acanitted . The Foreman of the Jnry addressed the
Coart as follows : — "My Lord—The Jury wish to express an opinion in addition : the Jury beg to express the opinion that Mesa Crellin Is also herself highly culpable in the business . " The prisoners were , by ordey of his Lordship , removed from the bar , and the court adjourned at twenty minutes past nine o ' clock . Th « following sentences have beea since passed : —John Orr M'Gill to be impriswed eighteen-calendar months , and kept to hard labour ; John Osburn Quick to be imprisoned fifteen calendar months , and kept to hard labour ; and Mrs . Clayton and Richard Jones to be imprisoned twelve calendar months , and kept to iard labour . All the prisoners to be imprisoned in Lancaster Castle .
