RENEWED DISTURBANCES AT MANCHESTER . DISPERSION OP A MEETING BY THE POLICE , AND ARREST OF FIFTY PERSONS . ; Manchester , WednesdaT might , Sept . 14 th . — Yesterday , an occurrence took place here which has occasioned a considerable sensation in the town , and not a little diversity of opinion as to the propriety of the proceeding on tbe part of tbe authorities . It is pretty generally known that since the recent turnout of hands in this county , the weavers , ( i . e those who weave at power-looms ) have , np to this time , continued idle ; but few having chosen to return to their employment at the present rate of wages . Dur ing the time of this cessation from labour ,
which is now about six weeks , that clasa of operatives have been living chiefly on the bounty of others who appear to sympathise with their case . Meetings have accordingly been held at different fcimeB and places , to distribute the alms thus obtained , and so for as we can learn , this has been done with a fairness and an impartiality highly creditable to those to whom this business has been entrusted . A meeting of this kind , and for the purpose abovenamed , took place yesterday at the Chartist meeting room , in Brown-street , Ancoats , a very large portion of which consisted of females , who are generally engaged at power-looms , in preference to men . As the room is but small , the number of persons who had to receive a portion of these subscriptions exceeded
the accommodation it afforded , and were consequently obliged to remain outside . The people , however , were perfectly quiet , and did not exhibit the Blighte&t symptom of disorderly conduct , nor wa 3 the least danger apprehended from their assembling in the manner already stated , inasmuch as it was known that they bad met to receive their share of the contributions , which amounted to threepence each—the allowance of eaoh for a week ! At the outset , a question arose as to whether it would be better to divide the money , and give to each an equal portion , or to spend it altogether in the pur chasing of potatoes , which , it was alleged , could be bought muoh cheaper by" wholesale , and then each would have nearly double the quantity that could
be purchased for the threepence . In the meantime information was conveyed to the Town Hall of this assemblage , and a strong body of special constables , headed by Captain Sleigh and Superintendent Sawley on horseback , were despatched to the spot , to disperse the ciowd . These were met in Travisstreet , by Inspector Cochrane , with a body of tbe regular police , equal in number to the special constables , all of whom went in a body to the place . On their arrival , the people appeared to be . somewhat astonished , but for a few moments did not make the slightest movement ; and , considering the multitude , a most singular silence prevailed for several seconds . At length , Superintendant Sawley called upon them to disperse . This order not being
promptly obeyed , a groan , here and there , was heard to issue from tho throng , whereupon orders wore given to tho police to surround the people . As soon as the police made a movement for this purpose the crowd began to move rapidly off in all directions which were open , but the principal outlet being at that moment closed by another body of police , the crowd was driven back , when forty- three persons were taken iuto custody . No stones , however , were thrown at that time , nor was any attempt made to rescue the prisoners . The officers then fell into inarching order with their prisoners , headed by Captain Sleigh , and
Superintendent Sawley , on horseback , as before , and returned to the Town Hall , where the prisoners were all safely lodged . So quiet , however , was tbe whole business , that although the distance from the place of meeting to the Town Hall is a good mile , no crowd was collected round the procession of officers and prisoners . Mr . Superintendent Beswick remained at the place of meeting for a short time afterwards , but the people went quietly away—many , very many of them without receiving the little means of relief , the hope of receiving which alone had called them to the place .
EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONERS . This morning the whole of the prisoners were brought up at the Borough Court , before D . Maude and A . Watkin , Esqrs . The following pri&oners were first brought up—Matthew Hutchinson , Joseph Mills , Ed . M'Donald , Patrick Duffey , John Booth , Hugh Read , Samuel Demon , Thomas Grey , Robert Fletcher , and Win . Den ton . Superintendent Sawley stated what we have given in substance above . He added that there were no stones thrown , nor any violence whatever resorted to on the part of the assembly . '
A special constable , whose name did not transpire , stated that he had been at Brown-street in company with another special constable , about three quarters of an hour before Mr . Sawley canao up . When there , he was attacked by some of the people , and one stone was thrown at him , J which did not hurt him . He then desired the other man to go to the Kirby-street station to give information . He could not identify any of the prisoners as having assaulted him . Tbe other special constable then stated that on the previous afternoon , about three o ' clock , he saw a crowd at the head of Travis-slreet , and went to see what it was . The people were gathered in olusters here and there , near the railroad . He and the other
constable went to disperse them , and they succeeded in getting them to move off . A great number of them then went to the head of Store-street , where they collected again and he ( witness ) and his companion went again to disperse them . luBtead ol going away however they began to cheer , and make a noise . Ho ( witness ) looked round to see who was cheering , when he was struck on the back with a stone , but it did not hurt him . He turned round again when the people again began to cheer , and another stone was thrown . He then sent the other officer to the station to give information . He could not identify any of the prisoners as being of the party . Mr . John Taylor , solicitor , who appeared for the prisoners , said he did not know by what law these
parties were interfered with at all . They had met for a specific purpose , and they had aright to meet . That was a matter which he apprehended nobody would dispute . It was given in evidence that there was no violence resorted to by auy party then present , that there was not the slightest fear entertained of a breach of the peace , and he could not conceive on what authority , or on what pretext these parties were taken into custody . They had met to receive a dividend from a general fund which they could not receive without meeting : and he apprehended they had a perfect right to meet for this purpose , and that the meeting could not by any law that he knew of be construed into an illegal meeting so long as they were peaceable . They were peaceable ; they met quietly ;
there was no intimidation ; there were no threats ; no riot ; no tumult ; no disturbance , nor the veriest shadow of a disturbance until the police came to disperse them , which he maintained they had no right to do . If this was uot a lawful purpose he should like to know what wa 3 ; if that was an illegal meeting he should like to know what would be a le ^ al one . Why , the authorities might just as well have sent a body of police to disperse the orowd which had assembled round Mr . Bake ' s Hotel last night to hear the news of the winner of the Doncaster St . Leger ; or they might as well call out the military to drive away the crowd now assembled at the doar of that Court-house . If however there was any law to prevent these people from meeting in the way and for
the purposos which had been proved , any law , which while it tolerated the meetings of masters authorised the dispersion by force of the meetings of the workpeople , any law of this nature of which he had never heard or read , all that he could do in the matter was to plead the ignorance of his clients as an excuse , for he would venture to assert that out of the fifty who had been apprehended , not one of them was aware that he was committing any offence . He considered the special constables altogether to blame in this matter , interfering where they had no authority . He had witnesses to pro-e the general good character of these men ; and among them was Mr . Simpson tho manager of Mr . Guest ' s mill at Holt
Town . Mr . Simpson was then called , but did not answer . Mr . Sawley stated that hi had been in the Court for the purpose of speaking to tbe oharaoters of some of the prisoners , but had gone . Thomas Langall was then called . Mr . Maude—What are you 1 Witness—I have been a small shopkeeper . Mr . Maude—Have been I What are you now ! Witness—I have been unfortunate iu business . Mr . Maude—What are you now \ How do you get your living \ Witness—I have a little money left , which 1 am living on at present . Mr . Maude—Where do you live 1
Witness—In Brown-street , close to the place of meeting . The witness then , in answer to questions by Mr . Taylor , proceeded to state that he was there yesterday ; that he had a wife and child ; that his wife was not alarmed ; that there was no riot , nor the appearance of a riot . He saw Mr . Beswick oome up ( he meant Mr . Sawley ) , who said he should be obliged to put a stop to this . They were perfectly peaceable and quiet , till the polios came up , when they attempted to run away . They frequently met on that ground . I heard no violent language , nor was there auy thing bordering on a disturbance . James Austin was next called . Mr . Maude—What are yout Sir ! Witness—I am a tpinner by trade . Mr . Maude—Who do you work for ! Witness- * - ! have not spun any since Christmas . Mr . Maude—Who did yoa work for last 1 Witness—I worked for Mr , Ogden twenty-four
years . Mr . Maude—How do you get jour living now , sir 1 Witness—I keep a small shop just Bear tbe spot . The witness , in answer to Mr . Taylor ' s questions , then stated as follows : —Some of the people were on my steps when this affair took place . I saw nothing that was alarming . All was peaceable and quiet . I bare often seen them meet there before . They had

met to receive a little money that bad been collected for them . I was in my house-the whole of the day , and saw the whole of the mooting . ; I never saw a stone thrown . Everything was as quiet and peaceable as could be . I saw the whole transaction , from the beginning to the end . Mr . Maude—What time did they begin to meet ? Witness—It might be just after dinner . When Mr . Sawley came up there was a man telling some of the people to go to Mitchell ' s Tavern to receive their dividends . Richard Wailer ,. James M'Lellan , John M'Gaw , James Knight , Robert Birrell , Thomas Harwick , and Thomas Allum , after undergoing a scrutinizing questioning from Mr . Maude , all gave similar testimony .
Mr . Maude asked whether there was any evidence against any party for throwing stones ! « . No evidence being forthcoming the prisoners were each ordered to enter into their own recognizances , in the sum of- £ 20 each , to keep the pence for three months , Mr . Maude observing that this was a very serious caso . A decent looking woman , named Alice Kershaw , was next put up , and charged with creating a disturbanoe while the police were conducting the prisoners to the lock-up . She was ordered to find two sureties in £ 15 each to keep the peace for three mouths , and to give twenty-four hours notice of her bail .
The remainder of the forty-three prisoners were then brought up and disposed of iu a similar manner , all the officers stating that the prisoners were doing nothing when they took them , and that there was no violence I Six women , named Sarah Massey , Esther Anderson , Jane Fletcher , Jane Hannay , Diuah Yates , and Ann Scott , were then put up , charged with being part of a crowd of females who had collected near the poor house on the Strafford New Road , for the same purpose as the weavers who had met in Brown-street . They however were discharged .
ANOTHER LARGE MEETING Took place to-day , near the reservoir , at whioh several thousands of persons were present . Constant communications were kept up between it and the Town Hall , and a large polioeToioa was sent to the place . They did not , however , interfere with the meeting .

EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR , Sir , —As the Star is the acknowledged organ of right and justice , I trust that , if you have not received an account of the extraordinary matter referred to in this letter from some other soaroe , you will give it insertion . The statement it contains has been publicly made , and it has been said that you know it to be true . I can only say that if it be true the wretch who figures iu it as the hero of the story , deserves to be hooted from every sociey into whioh he may intrude his polluted carcase , and that any body of'Chartists hereafter associating with , or acknowledging him , will much disgrace themselves . But to my tale .
A man living at Armley or Wortley , as I understood , of tho name of George Myers , ha ? , for some considerable time , sold Chartist traots and publications in the Chartist Room , Cheapsido . He was thereon Sunday evening last , when a sermon was delivered by Mr . Smith . There was a crowded audience , and the discourse was listened to with great attention . After the service , Mr . Smith said that he did not often trouble public meetings , with matter personal to himself , but so atrocious an outrage bad been committed in his house and on his n ¦ 1 ^ H ' . " a ^ ' J . 1 __ j 1 . - *! __ . *' * 1 ( i t tnai it t
amuy oy lieorge iviyers , ne inougnt rignt o put the Chartist publio on thoir guard against a man so utterly devoid of all principle . He then proceeded to state that some time ago , while absent on a Chartist lecturing tour , accompanied by his wife , and leaving their only child , a girl , about seventeen years of age , at home alone , this Myers came to his house , to purchase some Chartist tracts . Finding that the girl was the only person at home , he loitered , professing to admire some ornaments on the chimney piece , among which was the head of a somewhat curious tobacco
pipe . The girl , though she had no acquaintance with him , knowing him to be one of her father ' s Chartist friends , made no scruple to gratify his curiosity by showing him a small collection ot medals and coins which she thought might interest him . This was in the sitting-room of Mr . S ., in whioh there is a bed ; aid tho villain , Myers , watching a favourable opportunity , seized the girl , and threw her on the bed and violated her . The poor girl , fearing the auger of her parents , concealed from them all knowledge of the matter until she fon&d further concealment impossible , and then made the above statement to her mother . Such was the statement ef Mr . S . ; and he stated further that , he was at first disposed to disbelieve the girl ' s story ;
believing Myers inoapable of any 6 uch thing ; but that Myers , on being confronted with the girl in your presence , and that of Mr . Hobson and Mr . Brook , admitted the truth of her story , bo far as connection was concerned , but denied that he used force ; and that he . treated the whole matter with ' great levity , affirming that the girl put the temptation in his way . by showing him tbe coins , Ico ., and using many other brutal and heartless expressions . Now , Sir , if this statement be true , this is a grogs outrage on all the sanotities of friendship and on all the decencies of . oiv ' iliBed life . We have bad muoh said and well said about supporting and dealing with our friends ; and I think it a maxim that Chartists should aeton . But I suppose nobody will pretend
that the man . who could deliberately abase tbe child of a Chartist lecturer at the very time when her father was absent labouring for the Chartist cause is any friend to Chartwm . If the statement be true , the man Myers is a brute unfit for any society whatever : if it be not true , Smith is a devil . If the statement be true , I think the least mark of protection and support the Leeds Chartists cau afford their public ; advocates is to show that they repudiate and abhor the wretch who could so far trample ou all oar sacred principles as this fellow , Myerg , has done ; the least evidence of principle they c * n shew is to take care that he be not longer permitted to live out of the movement whioh he has so thoroughly disgraced . Of the thousands of men now

anemployed , there is sarely one honeater and more worthy of support than this brute , Myers , and if there be I do think that the Leeds Chartists ought to teach this George Myers , that he must hereafter work for his own living , and not live out of profits made among them . I am the more inclined to believe Smith ' s statement , because he referred so confidently to yourself and others , as being able to bear him out in it ; and I think that , as you are cited as one of his witnesses , it is your duty to publish either a confirmation or denial of his statement . That is my opinion ; I am a plain man and speak plainly . Yours , A sincere Lover of Democratic eight .
[ We rather question the wisdom of Mr . Smith ' s making this delicate and painful family matter a subject of publio discussion . But that is his affiir ; not ours . Thus appealed to by our correspondent , we are bound to eay that the statements described to have beon made by Mr . S . are true : and that we perfectly agree with our correspondent ' s opinion , that Myers is a heartless brute , and the Leeds Chartists ought to let him know that they think so . 'Tis not a matter in which the public cau do much towards redressing the injury to Mr . Smith ' s family ; but they can and ought to mark their execration of it . ]

Cheap Bread versus Low Wages . —Last week , we noticed an advance of wages to the woolcombers . This week we are sorry to have to record a reduction of wages on hand-loom and powerloom weavers . Mr . Robert Lfcach and Mr . Woodhead , one an employer of band-loom wearers , and the other ol" power-loom weavers , made a reduction of wasies on their hands . The poor depressed hand-loom weavers were reduced the sum ot fifteen penoo ppr piece . Tho price at the commencement of 1810 was Si . per piece ; they are now 5 j . 9 d . The power-loom weavers have been reduced on figured goods sixpence per pieoe . Little Town—Mr . Brear , of Batley Carr , preached two sermons on Sunday last , in the Chartist Association Room .
DUBCIN .-The Irish Universal Charter Association met on Sunday evening last at their rooms , 14 , North Anne Street , Mr . Freebawirnin the chair . The meeting was crowded and nearly a dozen new members were proposed and admitted . After the routine business had been concluded , and some excellent observations had been made by Mr . O'Connell ( not Dau ) the Secretary read the draft of an address to the Council of the Complete Charter Association . It was loudly cheered throughout , and on the motion of Mr . Dyott , seconded by Mr . Moran , referred to the committeG for revision and transmission . . Several members addressed the meetiog , the tendency of whose remarks went to show their sympathy for their suffering English brethren , their regret that anv
division should have sprung up between Messrs . O'Connor and O'Brien , and their determination to adhere to the principles of real Radical reform as contained in the Charter , at all sacrifices and despite every opposition . Tbe speakers invariably bore testimony to the spirit of enquiry Bpringing up among the repealera—many had Already investigated and adopted their principles , and many who had not gone that length had dcolared their resolution never to again sink a shilling in the bottomless coffers of tho Corn Exchange . Jndeed the Btate of the funds there was hors de combat . The meeting was altogether of a most exhilirating character . Nothing can surpass the enthusiasm of the association , as their prcepects are now opening and they feel confident of eventual success ,

some ot the cotton distnols , no such revival i Sheffield is yet seen ; on the contrary , the cutle * trade in all its branches continues steadily to declioi nor is there any hope , that we can learn , enter , tained of a better future . The number of person in the Sheffield Poor House in the weekendii > Sept . 3 rd , was five hundred and thirty-five . TlJ amount paid to the regular ticket poor for the sain week in money , bread , &c , was £ 95 5 s .

railroad ); that two hundred of ,-them are alreadi employed upon it , and that the remainder wij very shortly be set to work . W § believe the tru $ is , that the' volunteers' above spoken of are son * thing very much like ' pressed men , '—there bev ' no compulsion' in the matter , only ' you must The paragraphists forget to add , that the ' volut teers' are to be paid at the rate of fonrpence hat penny per yard , something like half the prices pail ( we believe ) to the navigators and usual raihrq workers . Of course , the railway proprietors aq guardians of the poor have no pecuniary interest drugging the labour market with law-made paupenj We understand that several severe accidents ha * occurred , tbe men being altogether ignorant of wort so foreign to their past employment .

ASHTON-UNDERLYNE . APPREHENSION OF MR . PILLING . On the evening of Monday last , about seven o'clock , as Mr . Pilling was haranguing the turn-outs ia the Charkstown meeting room , about forty or fifty of the specials , along with a troop of Dragoons and two troops of infantry , came and surrounded the meeting room and succeeded in capturing him . They oonveyed him to the Town Hall . We understand that a warrant has been issued for his apprehension for eoveral weeks past .
The town is no s under military law ; the magistrates have issued large placards , cautioning the people not to assemble in large numbers , or to attend publio meetings , or form processions , or stand three or more together in the streets , under a penalty of forty shillings , or three mouths' imprisonment . Themillsall continue at a stand ; the men are peaceable and firm , and no reconciliation seems likely . Several mills at Stalybridge struck work this morning , and one at Droylsden yesterda ) . Apprehensions keep taking place every day . One old man more than sixty years of age , has been arrested for standing at his own door watching the military pass ; he has been sentenced to pay a fine of forty shilling , or two months imprisonment . About twelve were arrested on Tuesday for forming in procession , and all fined or Bent to prison .

GEORGE WHITE . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sm , —You and the country will no doubt be anxious to hear concerning the case of our friend Mr . ftaorge White . < * You will find it reported by Mr . Thorn , In the Star of the 3 rd instant , that bail had been tendered to the magistrates , consisting of . Messrs Renton , Nurse , Corbet , &o ; on their being refused by the above self-styled , otherj bail were offered , namely , Messrs . O'Connor , Watts , Oliver , and Taylor ; on being applied to , the magistrates' clerk at once informed tbe deputations
that Mr . Taylor had been rejected , and that they ( the clerks ) wanted to see Mr . Oliver ; that gentleman immediately repaired to tbe public office , when the clerks began to use all the powers they were possessed of , to try and intimidate him from standing bail ; when they found that he was not to be moved by all their insolence , they immediately said that they also rejected Messrs O'Connor and Watts , on account of their insufficiency , and that we must find unother individual to stand along with Mr . Oliver , and give forty eight hours' notice . Then the magistrates would consider better of it and let us know if they thought proper to accept them or not .
Now , Mr . Editor , do let it be understood , that after having the required notice of forty-eight hours , when waited upon , they want another forty-eight hours to consider of the responsibility of tbe parties . Da you call this justice T is it rather not tyranny of the deepest dye ? It is evident that they do not intend taking any bail at all ; they are afraid to let the rampant lion from his den , lest he should have an opportunity of preparing a defence against the unsubstantiated charges
brought against him . Two Individuals , unconnected with party politics , having a large amount of property , have come forward and offered their services as bail ; they have been tendered , but we do not know the result . The committee for his defence are doing all they can in the matter . They have written to Mr . O'Connor respecting bringing the case before the Judges in Chambers ; they have also issued an address to the Trades of Birmingham . Yours . &o ..
Charles Thorpe . [ We are compelled to leave out the address ; but hope earnestly that the tndes of Birmingham , among whom it is circulated in print , will heartily respondlto it—Ed ]

STOCKPORT . TUESDAY , FIVE P . M . The determination not to resume labour without an advance of wages seems to gain strength from procrastination . Several of the mills opened on Monday moradng . At some of them ( usually employing from fire to six honored hand *) eleven or twelve persons have gone in ; these are almost exclusively individuals who dare not refuse , such as overlookers and their families . The masters have bad recourse to all kinds of mean trickery and intimidation in order to induce the hands to return to thtor employment ; but all to no purpose . One of them , I understand , bought b parcel of old shawls and bonnets to hang in the factory
windows , and set the looms a-going without warps , so that persons passing by the mill , hearing the noise and seeing the apparel in the windows , misfit think tbe hands were all at their work . Another of them having same of bis serfs living in his houses , has threatened them with immediate expulsion , and prosecution for back rent , if they do not submit . The authorities take tbe most stringent measures to prevent Uih few knobstick * from being interfered with ; any person found doing to , is visited with the extreme penalties of tbe game that the children call " Shinty * with the frogs , law . Large and enthusiastic meetings arc held daily , which are addressed by Messrs . Ellison , Carter , Wild , and Clark , all of the Chartist Association .
WOLYERHAMPTON . The great majority of the colliers in this district still remain firm in their resolution not to go to -work unlesj at an advance of wages . Numerous and variouB are the schemes resorted to tot the purpose of entrapping the mtn , either by inducing them to go to work at the drop , or starving them out The whole of the men latterly employed in breaking stones at tbe Baatile , the majority of ¦ who m are colliers from Bilston , Wilipnhn . il and WoNerhampton , were called together this morning , and presented each of them with a note , part printed and part written , to the following effect : — Wolverhampton Union , Sept . 14 th , 1842 . For Mr . signature . I hereby certify that Thomas — has applied to me for work , and that I have no employment for him . Signed Mr .
Now , the poor distressed colliers , although they are described as a poor ignorant race of men , ( to the shame of tbe religion and humanity mongers be it said , ) have sufficient discernment to know that their dismissal , under such pretences , is nothing more frh » n an attempt to either make them work at what wages their tyrant masters think proper to dole out to them , or starve . It is true a fow miserable wretches , unworthy the name of men , havu truckled to the " respectables , ' but they are a mere handful . Bat , to the honour and credit of the great majority of the Bilston , Wolverhampton , and Willenhall colliers be it said , they are determined not to go to work without an advance of wages .
A few mean-tpinted men , it appears , have been before my Lord Dartmoth , and bis Brother Magistrates and stated they have been misled by the Chartists , but the great body of tbe colliers ( despite of the assertions of the Wolverhampion Chronicle and Staffordshire Examiner to tbe contrary , ) consider the Chartists their best friends .
MANCHESTER . The struggle between tbe power-loom weavers and the maoufacturers still continue with unabated vigour . Sfcveral of the smaller manufacturers have acceded to the demands of their work-people , and they have consequently resumed work . But the great majority of the weavers are still perambulating the streets , without any immediate prospect of tbe differences between them and their employers being amicably adjusted . In some of the larger mills a few nobaticks still remain at work , but have to be protected by large bodies of blues and specials .
Borough-Court , Tuesday , Sept . , 1842 . —This morning , Messrs . Tinker and Saddon appeared before Mr . Maude , the sitting magistrate ; when Mr . Beswick deputed one of his officers to inform the magistrate that he had been unable to procure any evidence against either of the defendants , upon bearing which his worship ordered them both to be discharged forthwith . In this case two respectable individuals are dragged from tbe bosom of their families and confined for nsar three weeks in a prison , then admitted to exorbitant bail to appear upon a future day , and when that day arrives , they are gravely told that they are discharged for want of evidence . Truly , this is a beautiful specimen of British jurisprudence .
A report reached Manchester this morning that a serious disturbance had taken place in Sialeybridge ; detachments of both cav&lry and infantry were dispatched to that neighbourhood , but we have not , as yet , heard whether their services have been required to quell the tamult .
KKETISG OP THE WEAVERS AT DBOYLSDEN . A meeting of this body from Ashton , Dokinfield , Stockport , Manchester , and the surrounding towns , was beld in the open air this forenoon , to take into consideration the best steps to be taken to get the hands oat that have commenced working in two mills in Staley Bridge . There could not be less than 10 , 600 persons present The authorities having received information , a special train was dispatched from Manchester with a strong detachment of tbe foot guards to Ashton , an * about half-put one ia the afternoon , Mr . Superintendent Sawley , with a large force of bines and specials ,
were ordered to proceed towards Droylsden ; they however took up their portion on the banks ef the Reser voir belonging to the Manchester and Salferd water works company , situate in Beswick near Holt Town , but having no opportunity of displaying their prowess upon the heads of the people who bold them in supreme contempt , the bfaes amused themselves by runaing after butterflies , and the specials exercised themselves in the knocking the poor little unimali fron one to the other with their bludgeons , and thus terminated tbe glorious cvnpsJ * n , to fKMoui borough wm concerned . This is literally a fact—Correspondent
We k&ve been informed that the meeting adjourned from Droyliden to Ashton , bat as soon as they entered the town , thty wen dispersed by the dragoons and foot gnardM .
