THE PRESS . BT JAJTE 5 JfOXT&GliERT , ESQ ., OF SHEFFIELD . The Press ! what is the Press ? I cried ; "When thta a ircndrocs voics replied : — In me all hmnaTi knowledge dwells ; The oracle of oracles , Pa& , present , future , I reveal , Or in oblivious ii ' ieoca EC-ai : IVtit I preserve can perish never—What I forego is lost for eTer .
I speak all l&ngaages—by me The deaf may hear , the Mind may see , The dumb converse , the dead of bid Commoziisa with tbs bring bold . All lands are one beneath my rale , AH nations learners in my school ; Mt-n of all ages , everywhere , Become contemporaries there . Wtat is the Pftrss ? 'Tis what the tongue ¦ y fisw the world ¦ when Time was young , "W ii-n , by tradition , sire to son C jnTcy'd whate v er was known or done ; Bat fact and fiction so were mix'd , That boan < iaries never could bs fix'd .
TTbat is the P-r-sa ? 'Tis that which tmghi , By hieroglyphic forms of thought , Lore , from the vulgar proudiy hid , Like rrr&rares in a pyra ^ vJ ; p , r kuo ^ rfc-cke then * ras wjsterj , A captive un-. 'er l » ck and key , By Priests and Princes held in thrall , Of little use , or none at all ; Till the redoubted alphabet * Free rbsir own gre ^ t deliverer set , At -whose command , by simplest spells , The * work their mental miracles .
Whai is the Press ? 'Tia what the pen Was thrice ten centuries to men , "When sybil leivea lend winds to words , Or , caged in books , itey sang like birds , Bat aiow the pen , and frail toe page—To write twelve folios ask"d as a $ e ; And a pet ba ¥ c , in sport , mi ^ ht spoil The fruits of twenty authors' toiL A power was wtn ' irg to insure Life to works worthy to endure—A power the race to multiply Of intellectual po ; ypi : — It came , ail hardships to redress ; And Tratli a- _ d Tirtue hail'd the Press '
Whit Em I , thes ? I am a power Tears cannot waste , nor fl-jnes devsur , Ncr waters drown , nor tyrants bind ; am the mirror of man ' s mind , In whose serene , impassive face , What cannot die on earth you trace—Not phantom shapes that come and fly , But like the concave of the sky , In which the stars , by night and day , Saen er unseen , hold en their way . Myself withdrawn from mortal sight , I ara invisible as lighti zh ; ¦ w hich , rev&iline all beside ,
It&rJ within itself can hide ; The thii-is a £ darkness I make bare , And , no whs-re seen , I ' m every where . All that phllr-sophy has sought , Srience discover ^ , genius wrought ; All that reflective memory stores , Or rich imagination pours ; All thst the wit of min conceives ; AD that be wishes , hopes , believes ; All that he loTes , or feara , or hates ; All that to heaven and earth relites ; These are the lessons that I teach By speaking silence—sL ' ent speech .
At I who like me can bl-ss or curse ? Whit Can be better , what he worse , Than largnx-re framed for Paradise , Or scld to infamy and vice ? Blest be the man by whom I b ' ess ; Accursed fce who wrongs the Press ; The reprobate in prose or song . Whs wield * the power of right for wrong—Wrong to out-lsot bis laureil'd tensb , And b ^ unt the earth till crack of doom !

At this point the main body of tho flset was rctaiied by sdvtrse w : nds for neariy a "week , during whi <* h period some of the ships of war , * ssL-ted by the steamers , got up to " Kins-han '" or 11 Gulden Island , " where the whole armament , amounting to seventy pail of vessels , assembled on th » 20 : h insiant , and anchored abreast of the city of Cnin-keang-foo .
A raconnaisance having been obtained the Fame evpning , the troops were disembarked an eariy as possible the nexs moriing . It was at this time believrd , that the majority of the Chinese troops , which hid been variously reported at from fifteen hundred to three thousand men , were in a camp , which was visible from hills overhanging the river , at a distance of about three miles . Against this camp the right brigade moved under Msjor-General Lord Saltoun . The centre brigade led by Msjor-General Bartley , was directed in the fir ^ t instance to co-operate with the right one , in cutting off the anticipated retreat of the fugitives from the camp in the direction of the city , and the left brigade , headed by Major-General Scheodde , landed on ihe river face of tha city opposite tho fleet , where it was instructed to escalade the northern wai ] , which the centre brigade was likewise appointed " to do on the Bouihero side , after it had performed the other duty assigned to it .
The Chinese troops in the camp did not venture to stand the near aDproack of our mc : i , bu '> after firing three or foar distant volleys from their jinjails and maichlocks , broke and dispersed all over the oouniry , which was hilly and covered with the jungle . By this time the left brigade hid :: ot on -hore , wheu it became obvious that the Tartar sarri ? on intended to defend the city , from the walls of which they opened a heavy and incessant fire of cannon , jii . jalls , rockets , and matchlocks . As the-Jrft bngade moved from the landing place
the Auckland ( sttam frigate ) , which had been pLced in position for the purpose , threw some shells amongst the enemy on the works with admirable precision , but was obliged to cease firing , owing to the rapid advance-of the brigade to the bottom of the wall which was most gallantly e ^ caladed under a heavy fire from the Tartar trooDS , who behaved with great spirit , and dL « pntod every inch of the ramparts , availing themselves with great tact , of their knowledge of the localities , to gail our , and screen their own troops .
Tie centre brigade got into their city ( after some delay in finding a bridge to cross the G-and Canal , which rans aJong the western side of Ciiin-keancfoo , and separates the walled city from very extensive suburbs ) by blowing open one ol the « a ! es ; but eTen , after the left _ brigade had received this lar ^ e reinforcement , besides parties of marines and seamen who " were landed the moment the opposition promised to be so stubborn , the Tartars manfully prolonged the contest for some hour * , aud it was Jate in the afternoon before they entirely disappeared , which it is surmised the surtivors did , by throwing away their arms and uniform , and either hiding themselves till night enabled them to escape , or else mingling with the other inhabitants .
The city of CWn-keang-foo is rather more than four miles in circumference , the works are in excellent repair , and the parapet , which is so thick and solid that nothing but caDon sho * could have made any impression on it , is pierced wiih narrow embrasures , and loopholes , and flanked at a variety ot spots with transverse walls . It has hitherto been impossible to obtain anything like a precise return of tho strength of the garrison , tut from calculations made with reference to the extent of the work 3 , and the Tartar troops seen on
them at the same moment , it is thought there could not have been less than three thousand men . Of these it is sa d , that forty Mandsrin ' s officers , and one thousand men , were killed and wounded . The "Tartar-General Commanding-in-Chief , retired to his house when he saw that all was lost , made his tervan : s set it on fire , and sat in his chair till he was burned to death . His private secretary was found the day after the a = Siult , hidden in a garden , and on being carried to the spct recognised the halfconsumed remains of his master , who was worthy of such death .
It will be readily understood , that a brilliant service , of which the preceding detail gives but a very feeble outline , could not be performed without loss on our side , and her Majesty ' s Plenipotentiary is sureJhat all her Majesty's subjeotB in China will parircipate in his feelings of sincere regret at the annexed returns of casualines in killed and wounded in her Majesty ' s combined forces . Arrangements are in progress for placing a strong British garrison at Chiug-keang-foo ( which
commands the entrance to the Grand Caual , and is therefore of vast importance ) , and the remainder of the expedition will shortly move up this maje-tic river , headed by the Admiral ' s flag-ship Cornwailis , to the neighbourhood of Nanking ( which ancient capital of the empire is about forty miles di .-tant , and is rituated about three mil . s from the Yang-tsekiang , with which it is connecred by a variety of canals ) , it having already been ascertained by actual surrey that there is ample depth of water , and no natural impediments .

Mop Law . —A servant girl named Mary Morgan , was recently brought before the magistrate for running away from service . She had been hired at CirenceBter " mop ' for a year cerUin on the 17 th of October , and went away two days after . Her excuse was , that she " did not like the ways of the house . " M Why !"' said the magistrate ' s clerk . After some coyn « - £ S , and because I don ' t like such ways , " came out , " because I had to go through the man ' s bedroom to my room V Mr . Ballingar said , •* this is a common thing in farm-houses , " and the girl was sent to Northleach gaol for fourteen days . — Worcester Journal
Wholesale Infanticide in the Fosest sp Dfan . —The inquiry into this extraordiuary case terminated on Thursday . The adjourned inquest having been held at Ruardean on Wednesday , before Mr . John Cooke , the coroner of the district ) several magistrates and other gentlemen of the county attended tho proceedings , and the room in which the inquest was held was densely crowded . Several additional witnesses were examined , who gave similar testimony to that which has been already published , and the only difficulty experienced was the connecting the man Thomas Yapp with a knowledge of the crime , it being a rule of law that in no case can the confession of a criminal be made available against an accomplice , unless corroborated by
other evidence . This , however , has been supplied by the evidence of a man of the name of Watkins , which shows Yapp , in addition to the circumstances of his haTing cohabited with the female prisoner during the last ten or twelve years , during which p . enod the murders have been committed , and the fLndiEg of the bodies of five out of the six infants buried ntdc-r the kitchen floor , the epot where the female prisoner says she buried them with Yapp's aisisianc ? , to have bad a knowledge of the situation of the female prisoner at the time phe gave bir ; h to her 3 a ; t child . Watkins states that about last Chriitrcas , he being acquainted with Yapp , was in the neighbourhood of Ruardean , and haring met Yapp , was invited by him to stay and sleep that
night at the house occupied by h ; in and the female prisoner ; he accepted the invitation , and slept in ihe same bed with Yapp in one room wh'le the prisoofcr Frances Bennett slept in a bed in the adjoining room ; that at about twelve o ' clock at night , and from that time until between two and three in the morning , he heard a suppressed moaning as of a person in great pain in the room where the female prisoner was sleeping ; that the noise kept him awake till between two and three o ' clock in the morning , after which he dropped eff to sleep , and did . not wake again until five o ' clock , when the male prisoner , Thomas Yapp , got up and went down stairs to get » light , where he appeard to be searching for some matches , but said he . could not
find any . Yapp then returned np stairs , ana went into Frances Bennett ' s room , bat how long he remained there witness could not tell , as he ag « in fell asleep and beard no more . Witness never thought anything more of the circumstance , but happening to be in the Heighbourhood on Saturday last , he saw the female prisoner , Francis Bennett , who , in conversation , asked him if he remembered sleeping there last Christmas , ! He replied that he did , upon which she added I deceived yon nicely that night , for that was the very time when my last child was born . " This closed the itquiry , and the Coroner having summed up the evidence in a most luminous manner , The Jury returned 3 veidict of " Wilful Murder " agaimt both the prisoners , who were fully committed for trial at the next a ^ izee .

TO THE SHAKSPER 1 AN CHARTISTS , OF
LEICESTER . Fellow-Cocntrtmen , —I am glad for your own sakes , that yon have deemed what I , in conjunction with other 3 still mere worthy , havts done sot Mr . John West to be deserving of your thanks . May he and you and all of us act e ? er worthy of the area ; civuse 1 May we never for one moment for » et that our efforts to comprise all within the constitution of our couutry , ought to be constitutional and legal ; and that , while we profess to aim at the completing of the constitution , by perfecting the democratical part thereof , common hon sty requires of us to be faithful to the just and rightful interest * of the other two parts —the monarchical , and the aristocratical or Baronial
parts . I myself am a true constitutionalist . I have Ions ; been induced by reading and observation , to think that the British constitution when duly balanced , will be more suitable to the situation and feelings of Britons generally , than any other sort of constitution . But , let us have thia constitution duly balanced , so that the monarchical and the aristocr&tical parts thereof , may be duly checked , as weil as cheri-hed , by the no lets important democratic part . Lei every on ? who pays to the support of tlie sate , and who is liable to be called upon to defend the state , hare his fair share of influence in the management of the state . Let him have the Suffrage . Let his vote be secure to him—his own vote , good or bad .
To make every man's vote good , is in the power of God only ; but to secure the man his vote , aud to counteract its tendency if bad—is Within the power of man and may be greatly promoted by the passing into a law of the document called " The People's Charter , " a document in perfect accordance with the purest principles of the Brituh constitution . I remain , Fellow-Countrymen , with every good wish , bincerely yours , H . Phice . Needwood Parsonage , near Burton-upon-Trent , November 12 .. b , 1842

' mislead ,, and exitsperate tbu winds of the juries to whom such charges were addressed , and'by whom the individuals indicted , as participating In the late disturbances , were to be tried . ; You * petitioners , therefore , most earnestly , but respectfully , pray your Honourable House to institute such an inquiry , by the appointment of a committee or otherwise , into the proceedings of the late Special Commission , as your Honourable House in wisdom and justice may se « m fit .
And your petitioners further pray your Honourable House to address her Majesty , that she may be pl < -a&ed to visit the before-mentioned James Lurd Chief Baron Abiuger , with such a mark of her Royal dbpieusure as may induce other judges hereafter to preserva the pnrity of the judicial functions uninllied by political rancour or party spirit . And your petitioners will ever pray , fcc . Mr . Doyle went into an examination of tbe conduct of Lord Abinger at the late Commission , both at Chester and Liverpool , and depicted in a forcible manner the gross injustice of his Lordship towards the prisoners t ^ at were tried at the above named places . Mr . Eilineon seconded tbe petition . On the . resolution being put from the chair , it waa carried by acclamation . Tbe thpnks of the meeting were given to the Chairman and the people then separated .
LASSWADE—Chartism in going a-head here . At a general nj * eti / i # of the Cnartor As sjciation , it was resolved to join the National Association recently started for Scotland , and to make a ruoet deterrrilntd effort to increase the number of tba Association , and to spread the principles of tho Chatter . It was also agreed to invite Mr . Lowery to deliver ¦' . lecture in Bonnyrigg School Room .. BONNYRIGGr . —A handbill hai been circulated from house to house here , during the past week , of which the following Ja a copy : — " Notice . Tee inhabitants of Bonny ngg nre informed that a meeting will be held In the Sohool Room on — ( No date or time fixed !) to defend the principles of the Constitution , aud oppose modern Chartists . " The appearance
of this biit of course caused some sensation , and a good deal of speculation as to who the parties were who bad issued it . It had no name or aate , neither the printer ' s or otherwise appended to it , and as if iishiuned of their work , and fearing the open duy , the thing was circulated after dark . The Chartists were soon o : < the qui vive , and two hastened down to Lasswade to inform their brethren there , and to secure the services of Messrs . ' Dauiella and Stewart , who willingly undertook the invitation to meet these friends of the Constitution , in case they showed ; but , alas I poor things , their courage , like' -Bab Acres , ' had evaporated ! They neTer appeared 1 Were they frightened at the magnitude of their own work , or did they fear to meet the 'ignorant' Chartists ? The Chartists watched
the School Room that night and the next , to see if a rueeiing would be held , but none appeared ! The people considered tbe thing as a complete hoax , and never left their houses ; but as they could not get up a meeting , we beg to inform these Constitutio al friends that we will get up a meeting for them , if they will only * crew up their courage to the acting point , and meet us . Mr . Lowery will bhovfiy lecture in Bonnyrigg School Room ; then we shall bs glad of their company , sin
BILSTON—The Chartists held their usual weekly meeting on Thursday evening , Mr . J . Cadley , in the chair . The Chairmen called the attention of the meeting to the btate of several parties , who at this time were endeavouring to seduce the working classes into au alliance ¦ wi th them , under the mask ol liberality , cheap bread , pleuty of work , extension of suffrage , ¦ Sec . Of middle-class sympathy they bad sufficient proof . The people muBt roly ou their own energies alone if they hope to obtain the emancipation of themselves and their posterity . Mr . Thomason delivered an excellent lecture on the best meat a of obtaining the People ' s Charter . The Lecturer took occasion to point out the numerous calumnies that the enemies of liberty endeavoured to heap on Chartists . the misrepresentatiocs of their designs—taa old , and threadbare accusation « f physical force . Mr . T ., on conclusion , was enthusiastically applauded by the audience .
Sunday . —Mr . Tnomason lectured in the afternoon . The evening was spent in discussion , on the means to be pursued relative to the election of delegates to the forthcoming conference . The debate was udjourncd . The formation of a tract society was next brought under consideration , and seemed to meet the approval of the meeting . Mr . J . Evans delivered his report of the proceedings of the delegates that had assembled that day at Wednesbury . The following resolution was handed in to the secretary : —At a meeting of delegates , held in the association room ; Wednesbury , it was reaolvt-d— 'That a meeting of delegates from the following places , viz ., Walsall , Wolverhampton , Dudley , Wednesbury , Bilstoii , Coseley , Darlaston , and Birmingham be held in the Association Room , Bilston , on Kunilay , the 4 th of Decembtr , at three o ' clock in the afternoon , for the final settlement of Mr . Mason ' s defence fund , and to devise the best means of agitating the district . ' Mr . Cook , of Dudley , ia expected to attend . i
BIRMINGHAM . —Chartist Meeting . —A meeting was held at the Chartist Room , ' Aston-street , on Sunday evening last , Mr . John Barratt , of Whittallstrect , in the chair . The meeting was addressed > y Mr . Parka in a very clever and humourotu style , in which he lashed the tyrants of mankind , and was warmly applauded . Mr . George White afterwards addressed the meeting and pointed out the futility of working men expecting the middle olasaes to assist them honestly in the establishment Of real liberty . He congratulated them on their noble conduct at the Complete Suffrage meeting , and after alluding to the treatment he had received from the authorities of Birmingham , he concluded by assuring them that he was still determined to persevere in the advocacy of "whole hog Chartism , " and retired amidst warm applause . Mr . Walter Thorn brought forward the case of Mason ' s wife and family , upon which a collection was made for them , and the meeting separated . '

FATAL CONFLICT NEAR SKtBBEKEEN—CALLIN . G- OUT OF THE MILITARY— GREAT EXCITEMENT .
Dublin , Sundat , Quarter to Five . fm . I h-ivt- just rectiived' the Cork Southern Reporter of ypstevday fiveairigi from which I copy the fuliovfing Siffliitiiig details :- — We vecewed , at mid day yesttrday , letters from correspondents at Skibbereen , giving an a'count of a most lanu . ntable tra : ipac \ ion , of Which - the-ntighbourhoood of th : * v place was the scene , on the preceding day . and in v hicQ ' > ne maa was kilted ' and : two ba-lly wourdtd . It appears there has been considerable opposition by the . country people in that tlietrict to thti coikotion of tbe poor-rate , and that it was deemed necessary to send out a large police foroo , at the head of which Mr . Gore Jones , atlpendiary mngisirate , aud a Mr . Aylnibf , the" nephew . and agent of Lord Carbery , who reisidv s in that county , placed themsalves in order to t'liforctt tke rollf ction .
It i « impossible to accompany : ; ny statement which baa b ^ en yet received of this af * ir with an assu' -ance of its accuracy , and wo therefore wait for further accounts from the place , which we tuny recelva in tho court-sof this day . The letter which wesutj ' . 'in is from a most n-sptctabls ufentieaian , and was written with : i full reliance that what is stated in it was faithfully trus ; nor is there anything in it to lead to any doubt or distrust cf its accuracy . Still we wait for further information : — Skibbereen , November 17 , 1842 . Our town to-day present * all the appearance cf warfare . Oa getting into the streets this morning nothirg was to be seen but mag ' . Htrates . auion ? st whom was Mr . G > re Jones , S . M ., police , foot and mounted ,
comlUiinded by sub-inspectors , niiki n * , ' preparations to proceed to tbe parishes of Creaith and Tuila ^ h , to assist in dwtra iiiinsj . for popr-ntes ' - { wrJch ' tho farraftra are determined not to pc-y ) . Tiih moiiient my attention is arrfst'Ml by the inarchino : of ^ his force past my window . I fmo counted seventy foot police , feur horse , and two Bub-insppctors . under the ' conmia ' nd of Mr . Gote Jonea and Mr . Ajliner , Lord Carbery ' s at'ent , who , I understand , gofesout to use his influence with the people ( tbe greater part of whom are thut nobleman ' s tenantry ) to induce them to pay . ' -. Should auy unfortunate occurrence take place I will inform you . From the bonfires which were last evening lit ou aii the surrounding hills I . ' foar Jarge raas 3 es of the people will show in the direction of the destination of the police .
TuunsDAT , Four o'clock . Since I wrote the foregoin ? three hours have only elanstd , and the town is in a ferment . Intelligence has this moment reached that h most wanton firirn ? has taken place on tho pvop ' . e , and that one man has been shot ' 4 ead , and three dangerously , if not mortally , wouridxd . I trust in G ^< i thia ma y be untrue , or at all events GiacRtrated ; but if not . the magistrates of tho district should'be ashvnud to have permitted strangers to displace them and tira upon their neighbours , and , perhaps , thdr tenantry . I will endeavour to procure accurate information before I close this , and give you the particulars . Five o'clock .
I have this moment got particulars from a gentlemen who was at the scene , andnpon his statement you nrny rely ; One man , named Biwn , a widow ' s only bod , was shot through tho bick in the act of running away , forty yards in the rear of the police , the ball passing through his heart . Two others were shot—the thigk of one dreadfully fractared , and another through the calf of tho le «; . Thin took plitc ' o at almost the chapel door of the parish of Rha . The particulars are stated to be these : — As soon as the polico arrived at a place called Old of
Court , they w ^ re joined by a lar «; o number country people , who Bh ^ uted as they passed along , and who , as they proceeded , wer 9 joined by crowds , until the concourae n ' umbere' 1 about 2 . 000 ; and as they reached Rha , Mr . Aylmer attemr .. tod to arrest a man who had a stick in his baud , and who resisted ; upon which a mounted policeman rodp up and made a cut with his sword at him , when two or thiew boys threw stones , and thernipon orders werefiven to fire , without a word of expostulation , advice , or caution , upon which tho police obeyed , and a firing \ t . is kept up until the lice of a btinir was not to be seen .
I cRnnctgo into farther particulars at present , but as up inquest will take place , you will have them all . Reporter Offics , One o'clock . At this h « ur the coach which left bkibbereen at a very early hour tuis morning has arrived , but we have received no further account from any correspondent there . A ! sergeant of police , however , who came up by this conveyance , and was the hearer of letters for the police department here , states that up to that night Ihe ascertained number '"' of persona who had suffered in the . melancholy fray was two killed and four severely wounded . T < vo troops of hussars , from Ballincollig , passed through Bandon laBt evening , en route for Skibbereen , and further reinforcements are required from Cork . The Coroner , Franklin Baldwin , Esq ., has gone dawn this morning , t- make arrangements for the Inquest on Monday The scone of the fatal affair was about five-and-a-half miles fro . n Skibbereen , in the direction of Baltimore . . . ' ,- . ¦¦¦¦ Half-past One o'clock .
A despatch has just been received by the police authorities hera , directing the immediate transmission of an tfiicer and thirty men of the E * st R ' . ding constabulary force , to Sfiibbereen . The messtn ^ er states that the country for miles round coutinues to be greatly excited . A report reached Skibbereen last night of the death of a second of the unfortunate country people . There were sixty-three of the police , under the command of two sub-inspectors , ull directed by Mr . Gore Jones engaged in the conflict on Thursday .

LuBt night , about seven o ' clock , aa attack was made on a number of the new workers in a house in Foundry-lane , and the whole of them have . been severely maltreated , and oue of them has been stabbed in the left thigh , besides having Mr arm broken , and other suvere lacerated wounds on the head : It appears from what we could clean npon the spot , from the information of one of the watchmen usually stationed there , that about savrn . o ' clock , Crawford , the watchman , camo from Wh'tk'tts , as an escort to the men above alluded to , some of whom were
strangers , and had not commenced work . They were showa into one of the empty houafs , and Crawford proceeded to procure them firing ; but the inatant be It ft the house , he was surrounded by a body of men who had their hata slouched over their faces , their coats buttoned up to their throsta , and were otherwise disguised . They numbered two hundred , aud had managed to elude the vigilence of a guard armed with guns , by concealing themselves in Lotkhart ' s field adjacent , till the moment of the general assault . They compelled Crawford to stand , and one of the party presented a pistol at him , threatening at the same time that "if he did not stand still it would be worse for him . " This man then took his station beside the
adjacent wall , end kept the pistol presented at him ; meantime about 20 proceeded immediately towards the house in which the strangers had been placed , the others taking their station round it In about a minute or so afterwards , Crawford heard a cry of murder from the house , and made an instinctive motion to run forward , when his guard instantly advanced , and again presenting bis weapon , threatened him to stir at the peril of his life . He was thua kept at bay while the bloody assault was being committed , and several times beard cries of " murder from the assailed , and sbouta , baths , and execrations from the assailants . He also beard what be supposed a pistol fired off . After being kept in this manner for a few minutes , a tosh was made into the fields by the party who remained outside the house aa a guard , and Crawford , taking
advantage < pf the commotion , made on , and effected escape . Before reaching the highway , which Is about four hundred ' yard ! from the houses ; he met » l » y running toward * him , who had been attracted by the shrieks of murder , whom he sent back to alarm the yeomanry , while he tan with all speed to WhiUetts to apprise the manager ^ « f the works , and others , of the outrage . MeanwhUe the yeomany sent out b 7 Colonel Crawford appeared on the ground , but all was quiet Subjoined is the substance of a statement made to us last night by two of the men who were assaulted , ana who , on the departure of their assailants , .
