OiDHi-x . More Prosecctios . —On Tb-crrsday erehing the 18 th inst ., ilr . iliiler , Chartist , of this town , was arrested while sitting in the Town-ball . It appears that a warrant has been hanging over him ever since the late strike , for the part he took in advising the people to be peaceable and attending public meetings . The circBmstances which led to his apprehension are snppo-ed to be in consequence of a report having been circulated that Miller and a few others had made arrangements to speak at a public mee ing which was convened by the authorities , at the request of the dissenting clergy in opposition to the Factory's Kegulatien Bill , and . the j ~ v ., - \ Ms \ nv PurtcrrpTTAV -.

The case was postponed to Monday , when a radber of his friends came into conrt , and after wa . " ~ ! - ^ a considerable time the magistrates took their s-eats on the Bench , and he wa 3 bonnd OTer to keip the peace and appear when calkd upon ; after the bail was tendered and accepted , he was set at liberty to : he great satisfaction of his friends .

The Repeal movement progresses , aDd it u quite evident the Government knows Dot what course to take . To proclaim down the Repealers—to prevent men peaceably discussing the necessity of repealing an Act of Parliament , which ia felt to be ruinous to Ireland , is a measure which the Ministers are afraid to a lopt .

meetings , let them give up their effica . It had been said , ' empley conciliation and reassn ;' but it was clear that , in an assembly of 20 . 000 men , reason was not likely to be beard . ' The example cited is most unfortunate ; for this Mr . Butler , whom Lord Plunket dismissed , was for that very reason , and no other , returned to Parliament at tbeiiexi election . His dismissal elevated him to the dignity of a martyr ; and made his advocacy ( what it never w .-ib before ) a source of moral strength to the cause which he advocated . Such will be the result of all similar measures ; and ¦ we trust lhat Lord De Qrej will be carefnl how he follows in this respect the fcuggestions of those who have studied the art of tyranny in its most
unblushing school—the school of Liberalism . Lord Brougham may affect to despise the conciliation ; but tbe people ef the United Kingdom are firmly convinced that it is a far better thin ? to conciliate by repealing bad laws , than to pour troops into Ireland for the purpose of carrying out those bad laws , when they cannot be executed except at the bayonet's point It is a lamentable feature in the Irish policy of the present Government ( not to say their English policy also ) , that , having spent ten years in successfully persuading the people that a Whig Gcmrnnienr , was the worst of all possible evils , they now use the power froni which they have dislodged the Whies as if the maintenance of the Whie principles and Wuig measures were tbe sole and sufficient object of their political existence !'
Then we must not spill blood , and our " Two millions of Ci ' &ter nah'inq men" may turn their spears into ploufhihares . This is really too bad . — Wo * Id .
THE WESTME . VTH MEETING . The high and manly tone taken by O'Connell on Thuisaay in reference to Peel's puling threats has been nobly responded to by the country . The eountev-declaration ¦ which be , on that ocension , uttered on behalf of Ireland was worthy of the cause , and the loud and hearty response which it has met from all parts of the country proves the nation whose cause ho pleads to be worthy of the advocate . Westmeath met on Sunday . It ¦ was the first county that met since the manifesto of Peel and the countermanifesto of O'Connell . The eyes of all were turned towards Mullingar . England watched with feverish anxiety—Peel trcmbUd for tbe result—while Ireland alone , confident in the prudence and determination of her sons , awaited tbe trial with a coolness which the result smp } y justified . > Juliiagar hoa passed nobly through the ordeal , and haa Riven a tons to
Ireland that it would be well the cabiut-. t of England had not evoked , or having evoked by a false step , should prudently rtfrain from urging forward too precipitately . Never was greater enthusiasm evinced by any people —never was there more of prudent determination and firm resolve manifested by any body of men than by the tens o ' thousands who congregated 0 : 1 this occasion to hurl dtfiance at the enemies of their country . We give in another column a ?) ample report of the proceedings , which will be fouud to be the most important that has occurred since the commencement of the Repeal agitation , whether we judi ; o of them by the peculiar period at which they arrived—by the manly tone of all who touk a part , or by the no less glorious than unexpected announcement made by the Right Rev . Bishop of Ardagh—that every Catholic Bishop in the kingdom was friendly to the cause .
What , then , have we to dread from the denunciations of Peel ! The people are firm ; they have not only the countenance , but the advica anil instruction of their prelates and their clergy , who teach thorn obedience to the law and observance of the peace , with as much zeal as they do the principles of national liberty . The leader ia resolved—firm , immovable—jood men are every day joing our ranks—the thorough confidence of the people is becoming more and more apparent in the daily increase of the national funds , and from one end ol the Land to tbe other temperance and peace hold undisturbed sway . ft
¦ e -would e 3 peoaiiy direct the attention of hesitating Repealers to the declarations of too venerated Bishop of Meath , that the establishment of a Catholic ascendancy -would be looked on by any IrUh prelate as a curse , not a blesfiDg , and that equality was all the Catholic clergy sought for their church , while we call the attention of thoae who think that the spirit of litpeal can be crushed to tbe firm ani unequivocal declaration of the Bishop of Ardagh , that with the deprivation of lifts aloce -would tyranny uucceed in severing him from the causo of national liberty . Thus does the cause now stand . The week ' s rent wants but a fraction of seven hundred pounds ; and union , resolve , end determination aro in every hearton every toDgus . — Freeman .

for the police , who were thus beleagured in the station-house . During the absence of the mob from the Oldham-road Station House , a considerable number of the night policemen arrived , and on a second or third attack being made on the building , those men , to the number of about thirty , made two or three sorties , in each of which they succeeded in capturing several soldiers and others . One ringleader in the mob , a civilian , was subsequently pointed out to the police by Mr . Smith , surgeon , and they apprehended this fellow . In these sallies , they captured altogether ton aoldiera , all of whom , wo believe , are privates in the 15 th regimftnt . Their names are Wm . Gill , Wm . Woolridge , John Veiinard , John Capley ,
Edward Holmes , Michael Higgins , Robert Scott , John Connor , Charles Gill , and Patrick M'Donald . Iney also took five men and three women , who were very riotous and prominent in the crowd . Their names aro James Shepherd , Robert Gaskell , Joseph Pepper , James Smith , and John Heap ; Ami Middleton , Charlotte Ling , and Mary Lomas . Captain WilJis , chief constable , and Mr . Beswick , chief superintendent of police , arrived at the station-house a little before six o ' clock , together with superintendent Sawley , and a large body of the police . A picket of the 15 th regiment , under the command of an officer , we believe a captain , also arrived , and took up their stand outside the door of the station , in Oldham-road . At least two of the
privates in this picket were hoard by the police to use very offensive and insubordinate language , and this was very properly reported to the general in command of tho district , when he arrived . James Kershaw , Esq ., tho mayor , and Daniel Maude , Esq ., stipendiary mngistrate , were on the spot before six o ' clock ; the Town Clerk was also there . Col . Wemyss , assistant adjutant-general of tho northern district , arrived at the station-house about a quarter past seven ; and General Sir Thos . Arbuthnot , the general in command of the district , arrived there about half-past seven .
Snortly after the arrival of Captain Willis , Mr . Beswick and the police , portions of the mob and some eoldiera proceeded in various directions ; and information being brought to tho station that they were again attacking policemen in the streets , the Mayor , wkh Captain Willip , Superintendent Sawley , and a party of police , proceedod in quest of the rioters . On their passing the Tib-street barracks , where the 15 th aro stationed , the soldiers about the gate and from the windows of the building , hooted at them , and hurled stones , incs , and other missiles from tho
windows at the police ., notwithstanding that two officers of the regiment were standing in the doorway during the display of disorder and insubordination . On this display being made , Captain Willis immediately halted his men in front of the barracks , but no further demonstration was made . The polico force , under Capt . Willis and Superintendent Stopheuson , then scoured the streets in search of rioters , and they overtook porno soldiers in Jersey street , and captured them , but at the request of Major Smith , tho commanding officer , they were set at liberty agaia on condition , of returning to tho barrack .
We believe , that on the arrival of Colonel WemyRS at the station-house , Captain Smith preferred a complaint to him that tho police had apprehended soldiers after tho disturbance was over ; but Colonel Wcmyss expressed his opiuion that the police had only done their duty . The Mayor , attended by Mr . Beswick and a party of police , proceeded to Atherton ' s beer-shop , Bengal-street , to search for soldiers , as that was the place in which tho first disorder had occurred . The police searched the house , but the soldiers had previously made their escape . We understand that Mr . Atherton behaved with great insolence to the authorities .
While thia wag the state of things at . the Oldham Road station , one party of the rioters proceeded to the Kirby-street police station-house . New Islington , where , having no information of their intentions , the police were not prepared for them ; and , the door being open , they rushed into the office , an > l attacked the police there . Inspector Lipsett was knocked down and severely beaten and kicked , and all the policemen in the office were beaten and otherwise ill-used . One of them , named Burgess , was so severely injured , that it was necessary to convey him to the Manchester Royal Infirmary . We understand that Inspector Lipsett is now lying at the station-house very much injured , his face especially being much contused and disfigured by the blows
and kicks he received . On information of this outrage being convoyed to the Oldham Road Station , about a quarter pa ^ t six o ' clock , Superintendant Cochrane , with twenty of the police force proceeded thither with all speed , and pursued the rioters by Pollard-street into Great Ancoats-street and then to New Cross , and chased a party of them through Spear-street and other narrow streets to Deau-street , Great Ancoats-street , and down Portstreet , where live soldiers , finding themselves hotly pursued , ran into a coal yard and actually jumped into tho filth of a petty , where the police captured ( htm . A mob soon collected to rescue the prisoners , but the police by sallies drove them back , got the gates of the yard locked , and put "snaps" on
the writs of their prisoners to secure them . A number of constables outside guarded the gates , while others remained within in chargo of the prisoners , from one of whom was taken a largo , thick knotted stick or bludgeon , covered with blood . One of the foldier ' s hide-belts was also covered with blood . About this time Mr . Beswick , hearing that a soldier had secreted himself in Mr . Lomax's egg shop , corner of Dean-street , Ancoats , proceeded thither iu a coach and apprehended him there . Tho coach was then driven to the coal yard , under an escort of military . On tho mob seeing the soldiers , whom they supposed were coming to rescue the prisoners ,
they rene . W&d their assault on the police , but were driven back , and on finding their mistake they at length dispersed . The prisoners were all put into the coach , and convtyed . under an escort of tho 15 th regiment , to the police-office . Town Hall . On their way , in Port street , a civilian named Bolan , who was a little behind tho escort , threw a stono at the police , and was immediately apprehended and conveyed with the others to the police-office . The names of the five soldiers apprehended in the coalyard are , Edward Woodhouse , Thomas Boll , Wm . Harding , John Thompson , Joseph Collett , and Daniel Vaughan .
About half-past six o ' clock , Inspector Green was despatched from the Oldham-Road station , in a coach , to obtain tho attendance of a body of the 2 d Royal Dragoons , now in the cavalry barrack , Hulme . While going along Oldham-street , he obeerved a large mob of disorderly people , probably from a thousand to fifteen hundred in number , going towards Piccadilly . They were headed by nine soldiers in a state of intoxication , and were armed with biudgeons , and ( what particularly atiracted his attention ) with s-omc of iho staves , both painted and unpainted , which were delivered to the individuals sworn in as special constables durii > g the riots of August last . About forty of tho mounted dragoons , under the command of an officer , arrived at the Oldham Road station about seven o ' clock , and were subsequently reinforced by a much larger number . They kept the street for some time , considerable crowds being assembled in the neighbourhood , though every thing was peaceable at that time .
Wo have stated that General Sir Thomas Arbuthnot arrived at tho Oldham Road station-house about half-past seven o ' clock . Immediately on his arrival he had a short conference with Major Smith , and with the Mayor and civil authorities . At this time the picket of tho 15 : h were drawn up within the station-hou 9 O , and the general came up to them , and addressed them in the strongest terms of reprehension , something to the following effect : — " Men , I am quits ashamed of you , and I am determined to make a most severe example of every one that is proved to havo taken any part in this business . Yon men who wero not concerned must havo hnown of this . I am qii'e ashamed of you . Make them 4 Stand at attention , ' every man ef them . You soldiers arc sent here to assist in keeping tho civil peace of tho country , and you are brealnnx the prace . " Inspector Robinson , of the police , having complained tliat he had heard one of the
picket , whom he could identify , use threatening ian ^ uace , the general was informed of this , and he directed that Robinson should point out the man . He did so , and Sir Thomas ordered the soldier ' s arm- ! and bt ! t to be taken off , and the man to be placed in military !\ mt > i . A policeman named Burns or Byrne prefemJ a similar charges against a second soldier of thd picket , whom ha also identified ; and , by the orders of the general , he too was disarmed and arnr-: < . \ j . The latter , it appeared , had previously been i-t-pim > .-d by tho policeman , bo ; h to the captain and Maj ) r Smith , but he was not put under arrest until tho general ordered it . This having beta done , S ^ r Thomas Avbuthno * directed tho Major to take down the names of the soldiers , and of the policeman preferring the charges , with the nafuro of the charges themselves ; and accordingly the following examination took place , tbe questions being pui by Major W . R . Brudenell Smith .
( To the polico inspector ) : What is your name ] John Robinson . —Do you know the man ! Yes , sir ; I havo just pointed him out in the picket , and he has been disarmed . —( To the soldier , after Robinson again identified him ) : What is your name 1 James Bullock , sir , regular , number 1 ( 594 . —( To the policeinsoector ) : What did you hear him say 1 Ho said , " Bloody dogs 1 they nearly killed two of our men last night ; bat I wish wo had five minutes' firing at them . "—Well , Bullock , what have you to say ] I never spoke it word at all , sir ; my comrades , Geo .

Yes ; I can swear it . —What did he say I I heard him say that we did not get half enough of it . ^ -Soldier , what ' s your name ? Tracy , No . 591 . —( To the policeman ) : Anything else ? Yes , sir ; that we did not get half enough of it , and that we should get more . I told him that we had enough to contend witli , and that he ought not to make , any remarks , and then he said that they ( meaning himself and the men with him ) were a pretty picket that they did not skiver us . ( To the soldier ) : Have you got anything to say ! Yes ; I never told him so ; ho said we had better go away . —Burns : It is not very likely th ^ t I should tell a man who is here for our protection to go away . —Tracy : No such words came from my lips . A comrade named Peter Gion was next called . Where were you ? He was on my
right . —The Major : Then you must have heard everything he said ? Now , be positive ; you'll have to swear to everything you say now on oath . Did you hear everything he 6 aid ! Yes , sir ; he said nothing whatever , sir , of any consequence . —What did he say 1 He was grumbling about us being standing in the wet , and this man [ the policeman ] told him he had better not say anything . —Grumbling ? What did he say ? What he said , as near as I can guess , was , " D- —n and — - the whole row . " As near as I can guess , he cursed the row . That was all the words that passed between them 1 Yes , sir . —You positively can 6 wear that on your oath ? Yes . —Did he make use of any other language ? No , sir . —Take them back , and let them be put in confinement .
About half-past nine or a quarter to ten o ' clock all the prisoners were conveyed from tho Oldham-road Station to the New Bailey , undor au escort of the 2 nd Royal Dragoons . About that time all the cavalry returned to their barrack : a strong party of the 15 th Foot remaining within the station at night . At a quarter-paet ten all was peaceable , and no further disturbaiice was apprehended , as all the soldiers were either within their barrack or in custody . ] Upon inquiring at the Infirmary , at nine o ' clock last night , we learned that the parties who had beea conveyed there in consequence of injuries received during the outrage , were William Burgess , a police constable , and John Byrne , a labourer , of Bengalstreet . The latter was said to be insensible , but we are unable to ascertain the exact nature of the injuries that either of them had received .

THE CHESHIRE MAGISTRATES , SIR JAS . GRAHAM , AND THE CHAPLAIN OF KISUTSFORD GAOL . Knutsford , Monday afternoon . The general intermediate session for the county of Chester was held this morning at the Court Hous .-, Kautsford , before Trafford Traflbrd , Esq ., chairman , and about twenty magistrates . After the learned chairman had delivered his charge to the grand jury , the magistrates retired to their private room , when the chairman said he had received a letter from Sir James Graham , the Secretary of State for the Home Department , which he would read to the magistrates . Mr . Potts , the clerk of the peace , then read tho following letter : — " Whitehall , May 4 , 1843 .
" Sir , —I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 21 st ult . enclosing a report of the decis on of the justires assembled at the last general Quarter Session ^ for the county of Chester , on the proved misconduct of tho keeper of tko goal at Knutsford . It is a matter of much concern to me that the magistrates of the county have determined to retain iu the office of keeper of tlto gaol one who has been proved to have so misconducted him-e ! f . The magistrates are of opinion upon the case to which I more especially called their attention ( T refer to the ease iu which the keeper persisted in inflicting corporal punishment upon a prisoner after the interposition of the assistant surgeon , and his desisting to forbear ) that the reprimand of the visiting justices was sufficient punishment . It appears to ma that such misconduct , as soon as made known to tho justices iu Quarter Sessions , should havo been punished by immediate dismissal .
The other charges proved against the keeper , of offences committed by him subsequent to thatgreater offence which I have just meationed , are considered by the Magistrates as not of much importance , and not sufficient to deprive him of their confidence . Yet k is clearly proved—and this proof was in the hands of tho Magistrates—that these offences , many in number and of various kinds , were in violation of the prison regulation ? , in violation also of provisions of Acts of Parliament , and such a 3 would have subjected the keeper to indictments for misdemeanour .
"The rfsponsibility of these proceedings of thc General Quarter Sessions is upon those Magistrates vy . no recommmended and adopted such a decision ; bat I feel it lobe a duty to declare my opinion , tha * . it is a decision not unlikely to lead to evil consequences , detrimental to the maintenance of good order in prisons , and cxlculaxed ta lessen the confidence which Parliament has been disposed fo impart , to Magistrates in the superintendence and regulation of gaols . " I liavo the honour to be , &c ., " J . K . G GUAiUM . " Trafibrd Trafford , E ? q ., Chairman of Quarter Sessions , Kuutsfo ' rd . " The letter having been read , there was a general silence of a few moments amongst the ma ^ i-trates . One gentleman suggested that no notice should be taken of the letter .
The Chairman said that the first question which he would put to the magistrates was , whether the letter deserved any answer at all ? Mr . ConBEirsaiii it was very strange that Captain Williams should have fouiul fault with the governor now , as , if he recollected right , the inspector had , in 18 U , made a very favourable report respecting Mr . Burgess . He wished to know what were the complaints against tho governor ? Mr . Potts eaid that the principal offence was whipping a boy named Trainer . Mr . Pcuts then read , by direction of the Churmau , the reply of the Court to the report of Inspector Williams on the state of Knu sford gaol and house of correction , to which the preceding letter from tho iiome Secretary might be considered as a rejoinder . Mr . Shalciv ^ s Jackson said * hat ho hid never heard the governor charged with inhumanity be ' ore , but understood that he was exceedingly kind .
Mr . Corbvtt : I should make no reply to that letter . Mr . Jackson : It is our business , and we shall act in this matter as we think proper . The Chairman : I have laid the letter before you , because it is addressed to me as cha naan of rho Quarter Sessions . Is it the general opinion of the magistrates that no notice shall bo taken of this letter ? It was then suggested that Mr . Burgess should make an affidavit n-.-pecting the matters complained of in tbe report of the inspector . After a short conversation , in which Messrs . Townsend , Francr ., and others took part , and in tho course of which the magistrate ? generally expressed iheir confidence in Mr . Burgess , Tho Chaikmam suggested that ho ( the chairman ) had better acknowledge the receipt of the letter . ' No motion was , however , made on the subject , and the matter then tirminated .

ing everything that they could lay their hands on . Seeing tne men who belonged to the ground drawn up near the house , the mob fired uoon them—the men returned their fire ; upwards of ten volleys were fired on each side , and the affray lasted fifteen minutes . The mob separated themselves into two divisions , one of which stood aloof firing at the men , as above described , while tho other division forced their way into Fleteher ' u house . They broke open the door with a large
pickaxe , which they had brought with them for the purpose . Having thus obtained an entrance , the houao was in a moment filled with the mob , all of whom were armed with guns and pistols . Tho only persons in the house were Mrs . Fletcher , and a poor Irish woman , who had been sheltered , out of charity , for the la = t three days . Mrs . Fletcher waa on a chair near the bottom of the stairs , and several guns and pistols were immediately presented to her ; she would undoubtedly have been shot , but one af them called out— "D—n you ,
don't kill a woman . " She was , however , thrown down , her head dashed against the ! flags , and afterwards dragged out of the house by I her hair . One of the ruffians ran up stairs to look ; for Fletcher , and came down exclaiming * ' the b- y b r is not here ; he ' s given U 3 the slip . " Mrs . ' Fletcher was able to identify tbJs man as Michael i Uagby , commonly called Bfg Mick , " and he was ' afterwards apprehended on her information . The I poor Irishwoman being observed looking at one of j thc ruffims was also knocked down . and ill-treated . ( They then smashed the furniture to pieces , threw the bread into the brick-croft , threw a small table upon the 6 re , and afterwards broke into the office I adjoining , which th « y attempted to set on fire ; they also carried off some portions of the furniture .
All this was going on while the thirteen men were engaged outside with the other portion of the mob , who spread themselves over the ground and at' . tempted to surround Mr . Fletcher ' s p ^ rty , but without effect . They were kept off by the continual firing ; : indeed , the place was kept in a perfect blazB for upwards of ten minutes . The soldier , one ot the private watchmen , was knocked down and was disabled ; and another of the party fell into a gutter , and his gun getting wet he could render no further service , A portion of the mob attempted to pull down the nrwly-raised kilris , but the firing was too hot for ! them , and they were driven off , without doirg much j damage there . The whole of the mob at length retreated , those in the houso as well ; and it was
fortunate they did so , for Mr . Fletcher ' s little party had expended their last shot in their gallant defence of the property , and must havo been left almost at the mercy of the mob . Probably their ammunition was also expended , and hence their precipitate retreat , which was effected at the command of one who appeared to act as their kader . They quitted the cvoit by tlio lower end , and took the road towards Eccles , taking their " killed and wounded . " if any , along wiih them ; but owing to tho random firing of the men on both sides , less injury , was done than might hive been expnetc-d from the number of shots . Of tho defenders of the property , only two were seriously wounded , Lomas , the wutchmau , and the soldier , and the latter only with the but end of a
; gUH - t As soon as the mob were faily out of the ground , 1 and Mr . Fletcher had ascertained t ' - e little injury 1 ' which his party had suffered , ho and BuUerwonh , the Salford police officer , set out in pursuit of the mob . After proceeding a little way on the Ecclesi road , they had halted opposite to Traff » rd park-I view ; and Fietoher and Bufcterworth , having gofc j behind the hedge , overheard them ia the act of 1 counting themselves , or calliug over the roll , I from which it appeared they were in six divisions , with leaders to each ; acd it j seemed they were a great many missing . They then retreated towards Eccies . At JSccies , which
id about a mile and a hs . lf off , the county constabulary had heard the firiug , and two of them were coming towards tho spot ; but being warned that a great number of men were coming along the road well armed , they concealed themselves until tho mob had passed , aud then followed them . When 1 tney got to the Une which turns off to Soedley , the i mob separated , the greater portion taking tho road , 1 but three were traced to Eacles and there apprehended . They were not armed , but one of them had 1 his boots full of blood , and was found to have received a wound above his knee , and the boots of another , who was not wounded , corresponded with impressions left in the clay in the brick ground .
Information was speedily conveyed to the Salford police-office . A party of officers was soon on the spot , and by their exertions two more prisoners were secured . This mornifjg seven prisoners were brought before the magirtrates at tho New Bailey , charged with haviDg taken part in the attack , but were all remanded . The police arc on the look out for others of the turnouts , many of whom , it is suspected , w « re wounded , and will bo traced without much difficulty .

MILITARY OUTRAGE IN MANCHESTER . ( From the Guardian of Wednesday . ) We regret to have to record a disturbance in this town , which , though fortunately so far unattended with any Joss of Kfe , may be productive of most serious consequences , if the ppirit cf disorder manifested by a nambor of soldiers , be not promptly quelled . The ? e disturbances arose out of the trifling occurrence of the quarrel of two soldiers , privates in the 15 - h regiment of infantry , now lying in the barracks , Tib-street , who were drinking in the beer-shop in Bengal-street , Oldham Road , and after disputing about the repeal of the union , got to blows . Information of this occurrence was conveyed to the
Oldham Road police station , about eight o ' clock on Monday evening last , and some of the police ivore despatched to the beer-shop , which is kept by a man named Atherton . On the police attempting to take the soldiers into ccstody , they , as well as others in the house , commenced an attack on the police , taking off thdr belts , with which , and the brass plates thereon , they struck the police in a furious manner , very severely injuring some of them . The police retired to the station , and being reinforced , appithended the soldiers ; while conveying them to the station , a considerable crowd having collected , threw & number of jarge BtoDcs at the police , and also attempted to rescue the prisoners .
Ultimately , five soldiers , all of them belonging the 15 th regiment , were apprehended ; and abo two men , whose violence bad distinguished them in the mob . The prisoners were brought up at the Borough ( onrt yesterday , before Daniel Maudo and C . J . S . Walker , Esqs . when their names were stated to be William Davis , Daniel Oliver , Alexander Burroughs , Hamilton Hall , and William Tytler , privates in the lo : h regiment , and John Bower and John DeJaney , civilians . They were charged , the soldiers with having commuted a violent assault on a number of police officer .-, and the other two men with having assisted in attempting to rescue tho soldiers after they were in enstody . Superintendent Stephenson pfate'l thc eircamscanccs of the ease as we have
;; : v . _ -ii them , and his cvidenrR was corroborate ! bv that of Sub-Inspector O'Ntile , and other police ciii .-crs . Mr . M" ! ude , after conferring for fom (> time with hi ^ bru ' . her maturate , and with an officer o ; the l . Vh , who was on the bench , said , he thought it was likeiy that the soldiers would rvceive some punishment on their return to the regiment , but they must be taught that they were not to be permitted to commit such brutal assaults on the peace officers ; and he would fii . e all the prisoners in a penalty of 20 s *» arh , and in default to be committed for a month . Wo understand that tho soldiers , in . pursuance of this conviction , were committed to the New Bailey , and in the course of the day , wo brlidve , some of
thpm were released , on the payment 01 the penalty : and wo heard that a sergeant , who was present , said in the hearing of Mr . Walkrr the turnkey , that there would be a row in the town that ( last ) night . 1 About half-past four o ' clock yesterday afternoon , j while Captain Willis , chief consribiit , and the « uperintt-ndentd of the borough police were assembled at the police office , Town Ha ?' , transacting sume busi-!)•? -, information w : >« prout'ht to th m that the j so ! diers had avowed an intention of taking revenge j on the police thnt evening in d-tforent parts of the ' lowii . Captain Willis accordingly eave orders that j the numbers cf the police at the various posts should ; be doubled , and that there should be 3 reserve force ' at all the SJa'jon-houses . Superintendent Stephen- j
son proceeded to . the station-house of hi- (! 3 ) division , in Oldham Road , and as it was approaching the ; hr . nr til which Iho njght-forco assrciblc-, and as he : expected no disturbance for several hours , ho dis- , missed all the officers of tho day-force except five , j and was in » he fetation-hoii .= e with this small force ] about a quarter or half-past live o ' clock last evening , j when a number of soldiers of the lo ' . h n'ginvnt suddenly came out of Poland-street , Bengal-stre ; t , [ small streets branching off from the main Btreot ( 1 > ldham Road ) , with a largo mob armed with sticks , ; and also well provided with stone ? and other mis- j siles . The police-officers of course , on finding the mob coming , closed the window shutters , and fastened the doors . The mob , to which the soldiers appeared to act as riDgleader 3 , made a furious attack on the police , first attempting to burst open the front door ; but this being purposely constructed of great streBgth resisted their efforts . They next tried to get at the lower window , but the shutters being
liDed with iron plates , again baffled them . The rioters , however , soon demolished nearly all the glass in the windows , and even the frames are almost wholly destroyed . The weapons of destruction were sticks , bludgeons , stones , bricks , Slc , and we saw one ponderous piece of stone , which must have been brought to the police , for it was impregnated with some meal , apparently iron , so as to render it a very dangerous missile . Finding they could not force an entranee into the station-house the mob , after damaging the building as much as they could , went away , and commenced attacking the policemen whom they found siDgly patrolling the streets in their usual beat ? . One of these , named Burns , with difficulty iff . ced his escape , by getting into a house in Oldham-road , and securing tbe door . Some women in tbe housa assisted biro to fseapo & . % the back . an « i the ieo '> , fuii . Misat his e * seapr , brok ? the windows of th < - i'lHi ^ o .

OPINIONS OF THE IRISH NEWSPAPERS . PROGRE 53 OF REPEAL . "We have just received our special report of the Repeal demonstration at Charleville , and cheerfully put aside other matter to make room for its insertion . The irumbfcTS that congregated -were greater than at any of the former meetings , but the same spiri " , pervaded and guided the councils of all . The thousands whom Pcel ' 8 threat gathered rour . d the Btandard of Repeal on this occasion , vrere almost beyond computation , yet peace , and sobriety , and order , vms universally prevalent
The period at which we received the report precludes the possibility of our making any coHimenta on the proceedings , yet we cannot avoid congratulating the people of Ireland on the onward progress of the national cause , of which this meeting is but a symptom . By peace , has the cause been brought to ita present proud pasiticn—by our firm resolve not to be forced by intimidation to violate the law , or etuntenance any outrage , we have already struck terror inio the hearts cf our enemies . The roar of cannon was never more terrible to a besieged fortress , than is the cry of peace to Peel He threatened to coerce , that be might drive us to Aime . He -weald have coerced ere this , had not Irelana at once proclaimed her unalterable determination net to resort to force , but , firmly standing on the canstitniion , to contend only with such weapons as it provided—a : the same time , declaring their determination to part with those weapons only with their lives .
In the glorious demonstration at CharJevilJe , \ re have an evidence of the benefits to be derived from prndent councils and bold resolve . Had to not coerced Peel by peace , he would now be coercing us with the s-word . Let the tame feeling be observed , and this , the first retreat of the minister , -will be but &s tho prelude to the final discomfiture of all our foes . In prace lies our strength . In it , too , lies England ' s weakness . The peop . e that cannot be bullied into violence , are not to be baroneted into submission . England knows this ; already have her depreciated funds borne testimccy to its truth . Peel , hardly yet
recovered frcm tbe shock be received , m tbe announcement of our determination never to yield , now offers conciliation . The English mortgagees tremble for th « ir Irish interest , and Wellington hints at a compromise ; but onr mo'to is , henceforth—Jfo surrender . The game ia now in our hands—liberty is within our grasp —ard if -we have but the determination not to be terrorised into crime , or violence , or outrage , its possessiod will soon reward our struggle . By peace we have already had one great victory—we have bought those , w -, i but yesterday threatened to offer termsby ccntirn ^ rl peace , we will force them to yield our rights . — Fitenun .

ATROCIOUS AND ALARMING OUTRAGE . Manchester , Wednfsday . —About eleven o ' clock last night an outrage of a most alarming character was perpetrated in the immediate neighbourhood ol thi 3 town , by a party of between 300 and 4 * 0 persons , chi fly brick-makers , arme ! with bluaderbusse 5 , gun ? , piaioly , b ! udgeon « , aizd almost every description of weapon , who " . 1 a most savage manner forcibly entered the b : ' : < k croft of Messrs .

ISomo dispates which arose be : wixt Mr . Pauling and his workmen , some months a ^ o , led to a turn-out of thebrick-wukers . Tlieir p ^ '"* wore of course supplied by other men , ai . < l evtr binre a systi . m of annoyance and intimidation , accompanied with occasional acts of violence , ha ? been practised towarJs the new hauas .
Tho brick-eroft , which has been the sceae of this outrage , is faituate on fhe right-hand sirfe of the Eccles-new-road , about 20 ' J yirds beyond the Crosslane toll-bar . It ruus . for about a quarter of a mile along the side of the ruiid , and is perhaps 100 yards in breadth . Near tho centre of the ground is a cottage , which was occupied by Mr .
