From other sources we collect the following : — Between fifty and sixty persons have been apprehended , and lodged in the tfew Bailey prison Threats hare been uttered in many parts of the town that the New Bailey shall be palled down , end the prisoners liberated . In some instances temporary places of confinement have been , demolished . The police officers on Wednesday heard of an intention to attack the lock-up at Newtown . A strong body was despatched thither , and arrived just in time to find the deed
accomplished they had been sent to prevent . The attack commenced about a quarter-past twelve o ' clock , the crowd throwing stones at the lock-up , which is a small building , formerly a dwelling , bnt altered so as ' to form a police-station , where several men are generally on duty . They soon forced a way into the premises , and very speedily demolished the furniture . They then tore down doors , window-frameSj the beams of the roof , and we are assured by an eyewrtnessthat in ten minutes the place was almost literally levelled with the ground .
- Shortly afterwards , a report reached the policeoffice that the same body of men intended to attack the Manchester Gas "Work " , at Newtown ; and about half-past twelve a strong body of the police was despatched thither . We understand that the Gas Works had become an object of attack from the eirenmstance that some of the turn-outs who had been captured by the police , had been conyeyed there for safety : and the crowd expressed a determination to rescue the prisoners . Since writing the above , we learn , that the attack was made ; the mob speedily forced open the doors of the gas-works , broke two or three windows , and did some other damage , bnt not to any considerable
extent . They found the two prisoners of whom they were in search , in the custody of three policemen . They beat the policemen severely , and rescued the prisoners . From an eye witness who waa on the Bpofc shortly afterwards , we learn that about halfpast oho o ' clock there could not be fewer lhan 8 , 000 or 10 , 000 people in the neighbourhood ; the dragoons were galloping about , with drawn sabres , driving the people back ; strong bodies of the poliee and the 60 th Rifles were keeping the ends of the streets in varion 3 directions , so as to prevent the mob passing ; and this was the state of things in the streets for about half a mile round the gas , works in all directions .
Another report , brought to the police-office about the same time , was , that the rioters intended to visit the Liverpool and Manchester Railway ( and probably others ) with the object of tearing up the rails , and thus , as they hoped , preventing any reinforcements of military reaching the town . The Riot Act was read opposite Stirling and Beckton ' s Lower Mosley-street , by Daniel Maude , Esq , at an early hour this morning . One of the Borough Magistrates also read the RiGt Act in the neighbourhood of the Gas Work , at the attack there .
Oldhaji . —When the body of turn-outs , who had left Ashton , as above stated by onr correspondent , arrived at Oldham , they attacked several factories on that side of the town by which they entered ; amongst which were those of Mes ? r 3 . John Worthington and Sons , Messrs . Joseph Rowland and Sons , and one or two other ? . When they made their appearance at Me 8 srs . . Worthington'B factory one of the firm very imprudently presented a blunderbus at them , and narrowly escaped very serious abuse . At this place , the police made a stand against them , ' and , after a a severe conflict , in which several of them received considerable injury , succeeded in securing two turn-outs whom they lodged in prison , and who were subsequently committed by the magistrates for trial at the next assizes . . A letter from a friend of ours in Oldham just received says : —
The factory hands have struck work in this town and neighbourhood this day ( Wednesday . ) The LEADING MEN CP THE CHARTISTS HAVE BEEN SWORN is special cosstables . There has been a meeting to-ninht , and the turn-outs appear determin ed to persevere . They are to have another meeting tomorrow ot nine o ' clock . Abdcctio > ' Case . —At the Liverpool Assizes on Tuesday , John Orr M'Gill , Richard Jonts , Jane Clayton , John Osburn Quick , and Thomas Wormand Rogerson , were indicted for carrying off Miss CreHin , from Liverpool to Gretna , and there by administering stupefying drink , forcing her into a marriage with M'Gill . Mr . Baines conducted the
prosecution . He said the prosecutrix was an elderly woman , of weak mind , having property to the amount of £ . i , QQQ . Several counsel appeared for the defendants . After a long investigation , the Lord Chief Justice summed up . His Lordship said that the Learned Counsel had laid the evidence before the jury as if in case Miss Crellin had made herself drank , and if after that the p risoners had carried her away , they were not guilty . He , C * he Lord Chief Justice , ) however , was of opinion that though the individual bad intoxicated herself , if any one toek advantage of that state to take her away and marry her against her consent , and did carry her away , though ever so little distance , with
that intention , against her will , such party was guilty of the offence charged . The Jury retired , and re-entsred the Court at a quarter-past nine . They pronounced John Orr M'Gill , Richard Jones , John Osborn Qoick , and Jane Clayton , guilty . Margaret Jones and Thomas Wormand Rogerson were acquitted . The Foreman of the Jury addressed the Coun as follows : — "My Lord—The Jury wish to express an opinion in addition ; the Jury beg to express the opinion that Mess Crellin is also herself highly culpable in the business . " The prisoners were , by ordey of his Lordship , removed from the bar , " and the court adjourned at twenty minutes past nine o ' clock .
GLASGOW . —Milend . —A public out-door meeting was held here last Friday evening , to consider the present distressed state of the country , Mr . Hugh Hamilton in the chair ; after stating the object of the meeting the Chairman introdced Mr . J . Moir , who addressed the meeting at considerable length . He dwelt particularly on the duty the people owe to themselves , and nrged upon them the" necessity of coming forward in their united capacity , by which they conld accomplish anything , and demand their natural rights , without which they cever would enjoy comfort or happiness . At the close of the meeting Mr . Moir took a show of hands for the Charter , when the whole meeting held up their hands . At the close of the meeting forty new members joined the association .
Collikbs' Sibike . —A general meeting of the united colliers round < 51 aigow , Airdrie , &c , was held on Tuesday last , near Shuttleston , to hear reports from the various pits , when it was all but Bnanimously agreed that they should continue the strike at all hazards . The wages demanded by the men is four shillings per day and eight hours' work . At present many of us do not earn two shillings , in some pit * not more than one shilling and threepence . We have heard much of colliers , as a set of wild , savage mea ; we have seen many meetings , and we bate no hesitation in saying that a more orderly meeting , than that of the colliers held at Shmtleston , on Tuesday last , we neyer saw , eo scrupulous were they against using anything like coercion
in getting any of the pits to strike , that they would not even ask them to come out , but merely appeal to them whether they thought it their duty to work till their grievances were redressed . In reference to the violent character given those much-injured men . we have much pleasure in giving the following resolution , which is inserted in their minute-books in their respective districts : —Moved by Mr . John Hunter , and unanimousl y agreed to , " That we , . the coal and iron miners of the higher , middle , and lower , or Glasgow districts , resolve that no man or boy coming to or going from any of onr meetings , shall carry bludgeons or weapons of any kind whereby the peaceable inhabitants may be annoyed or intimidated ; and that in going to or coming from any meeting make it a pointed feature in their actions to molest nothing ; that they break brer no fences , nor destroy hedges , trees , gardens , vegetables , or grain , nor in
any shape disturb the public peace . " These are the men to guard against , whose riolenoe Sheriff Allison thought it proper to send to Airdric troops of bow infantry and cavalry , and many scores of police * We noticed the proceedings of the meeting at Shuttleston carefully ; and , from the tone of some of the men , we have no hesitation in string that the coal masters encourage this strike ; nay , we have it on most respectable authority , that the masters will rapport the men with money to enable them to stand out , and why 1 Many of the masters have large stocks on hand ,, and in the event of the men standing out the masters will be enabled to clear off their old stocks at an advance of some shillings per ton ; this explains the sending of money to the men ; wnen the stocks are nearly cleared off , let the men look out ; then will the masters hound on the law , but not till then . The men are ready to meet the masters , the masters won ' t meet the men .

THE NIGHT BEFORE THE NOTTINGHAM ELECTION . ( From our own Correspondent . } There ia certainly no parallel in electioneering records to the recent Nottingham struggle , neither is there in the whole history of party politics a single scene at all comparable to that which the night before the election alluded to famished . The straggle is over , as far as exhibitions of mind and body go , and Mr , Walter , like the rest horse of the team , is once more in the shafts as " occasional Member" for Nottingham . His glory , however , will be of short duration , as each succeeding day—nay , hour , brings to light some fresh enormity illustrative of the fact that Nottingham was to be bought , no matter the price ; cheap it we can , dear it wemust . But to our sketch .
After the nomination a great meeting assembled in the Market Place , at which the Blues were expected In increased force ; nor were the victorious Chartists unprepared . Nothing unusual or worthy ef particular remark occurred at the meeting , and . therefore we dissolve it , and commence with the per rambulatory choir . At eight o ' clock or thereabouts , sn immense procession of about ten deep was formed . O'Connor , M'Douall , Cooper , Jones , West , Sweet and Clarke , leading the way—Cooper with his stunning tenor leading the musicians . In this order they traversed the whole tows , and upon reiushiag the Sutton Road were joined by a procession of about 200 brave Suttoners , who upon learning thai ^ O'Connor had been seriously injured , marched fourteen . mil us at a few
minutes notice to satisfy their own minds . The meeting of the waters was but a placid ripple compared with the meeting of these two tides of opinion . Tbe . cheers were deafening ; when they bad subsided , the Sattoners took the head of the procession , and then , innoculated with fresh vigour , again the town waa traversed till ten o ' clock , when the Sutton men were billetted in the Chartist chapel , their wants , physical and intellectual , were attended to , the brave Street discharging the offise of caterer for the body , -while il'Douall regaled the mind with one- of those pleasing andinsttuo tive effusions , 'which find ready access to the heart , through the delighted ear . At eleven o ' clock O'Connor visited the Sutton battalion , and was received with such cheers , aa the chapel was stranger to . After this the leaders repaired to the guard room , which should be here described . The suite of rooms furnished by that veteran patriot , Mr . Samuel Bean , five in number , were all for the night at tne disposal of the night
watch , and each was occupied by the most zealous of ihe Chartist body . The two largest were assigned to the relief guard , and the floors furnished a welcome bed for the exhausted occupants . The staff had nut been more than half an hour in quarters ¦ when tke music ol the Blue baud struck upon their ears , and instantly it was p . oposed to muster the Chartist band ; but , unfortunately , the musicians had left town . In this dilemma Mr . O Connor inquired whether it was possible to procure some drummers and flfera , but it was hope \ e& « . He then asked if French horns could be procured ? " No , be Jasus ! " replied a fine stout Irishman J "but I'll tell you what ; we have the best piper in Ireland , and the boys in the lane would rather hear it nor all the musio under the sun / ' and off Fat Malone ( for so in ignorance of our friend ' s name we shall call hinij jumped for the piper ; and in his absence -we take the liberty of narrating an anecdote of the immortal Patrick .
After the nomination three gentlemen in the interest of Mr . Walter did Patrick the honour of waiting upon him- Pat , however , was absent , and Mrs . Malone presented herseif upon her husband's behalf , and upon being questioned as to Pat's vote , she said she knew nothing about it , " that her man -would be in presently ; the presently arrived , and with it the canvassers , who then accosted Malone , " Well Mr . Malone , we are come to solicit your vote and interest . " Mr . Malone , " Wisha then , its a cowld job , for I have neither vote nor interest / ' "*• Well , but , Mr . Malone , if we procure your vote for you , will you give it to Mr . Walter ?" My vote , why I ' m not afreo man , and has no Vote . " " Well , but if we get it for you . will you give it to Mr . Walter V " What , Pat Malone vote for bloody ould
Walter ? no , be Jasus , I'll cut my tongue out first , not for a thousand , no nor for ten thousand pounds- " And so ended the interview ; when Pat being more shrewd than polished , immediately repaired to the committee room , and having mentioned the case to Mr . Sturge ' s agent , search was made , and sure enough there stood the name of Patrick Malone , as a ten pound householder . When learning the fact , Paddy jumped like a deer , and exclaimed , " Arrah ! be Jasus , then , sure enough , won't Paddy Malone be the first man in the morning to vote for Sturge and the Charter J" and honest Paddy , who by this had returned with bis piper , was as good as his word . The piper arrived ; Mr . O'Connor called for an Irish jig , while M'Douall was in search of the Sutton brigade . The jig was struck up , and Paddy &nd a partner , a fine strapping mountaineer , set to a merry jig , eaca with a shillalah in his hand , playing the crack-skull exercise , to the tune of the
foxhunter ' g jig , to the great delight of the spectators . By this time the Sutton brigade , under M'Douall , had arrived , and instantly the word " Tarn ont the guard 1 " wae given , and passed from room to room ; and . in less than ton minutes a procession , six a-breast and more Una 400 yards long , was formed in front of the guardroom , the piper at their head , with Pat Malone on one side and his athletic partner in the dance on the other . Thus marshalled , with O'Connor , Cooper , M'Douall , West , and Jones at their bead ( Mead and Clarke being appointed to Arnold ; , the procession , under the guidance of Pat Malone , proceeded through the Irish part of the town , as PaV said , just to wake the boys ; and sure enough the boys dressed themselves in double quick time , to the tune of St . Patrick ' s day in the morning . By twelve o ' cleek the procession was immense , and the Blue band silenced , and even the pipes smothered in the chorus of
Spread , spread the Charter ! spread the Charter through the land ; Let Britons bold and brave join heart in hand . The music of a thousand voices , Cooper leading them , all roused the sleeping cottagers from their rest , who bad ample time to dress before the tail of the procession passed . Tne night was calm and Berena , and the gas shone bright , while many an illuminated window told a tale of Tory midnight purity . For two and a half hours the vast assemblage had traversed the town cheering at the friendly mansion and groaning at the foe ' s retreat , until at length a halt was made before the Conservative Assembly Rooms at half-past one , and the full melody of Chartist song
burst from every turoat , which appeared as if by magic to extinguish the shining light of faction inside , for darkness followed the blaze . After this the procession proceeded to the house of Mr . Samuel Ton , where Mr . Sturge was stopping , and here a scene occurred which taffies all description . The vast assemblage formed into a hollow square , and sung and cheered , until Sturge , aroused from bis slumber , presented himself at a window , and his appearance was hailed with cheers that made the town ring again . "Well , my friend , " said honest Joseph , "bast tfcou met with any suspicious characters to-night ? " ¦ "Not many , " was the reply ; which was followed by nine times nine cheers . The procession again formed , and , as if by mutual consent , struck
op" We won't go home till , morning , We won't go home till morning , We won't go home till morning , Till Walter runs away , Till Walter runs away , Till Walter runs away . " After having left Mr . Sturge , tbe procession marched through the whole town , and at half-pnst two returned te their quarters , when the four Sutton glee singers were in attendance , who . regaled the brigade , or rather staff , " with some excellent glees . We were not long In qoartew , when "Tarn out the guard ! " resounded , through tbe barracks , and upon the instant all were upon their legs headed by their leaders , in quick pnrsuit of a party of Blue skirmishers who had stolen a voter ; he was an elderly gentleman , within a shade of the police act ,
inasmuch as bis steps were unsteady , his-walk circuitous , and bis eye jolly . In less than two minutes the priZ 9 was in the hands of the Chartists , and was safely conveyed to his own house at half-past three , when his wife in a state of great alarm threw the key from the window , the Chartists opened tee door , and remained till * it was locked inside , after which having received the thanks of the released voter and his lady , they stationed six stout fellows as a guard upon the door , with strict injunctions that no influence should be used by them , while no intrusion should be permitted from tbe enemy . We were not long in quarters after thiB skirmish when " Tarn out the guard" again assailed onr ears , and again the guard was oat to Reform yard , where a voter bad been besieged during a whole night by the enemy , bnt wai quickly restored to freedom by the Chartist staff , and a atrong guard aiw left for his protection , ' . *
In oar progress we met Tory magistrates , Tory captains , Tory amenta , and Tory bludgeon-men flying in twos and three * in all directions from the ward nightw&tehjTr-for every ward lias its night-watch . At length the day l > eganto dawn , and ' sypmtomrof blue butchers , blue fiahmohgezs , and blue bikers presented themselves , but shortly disappeared before the Chartist procession , whieh was all marshalled , with the braYfi Suttonera ' ¦ -a * their bead , precisely at four o ' clock , and upon the word beinggiven , all moved towards the market place , where the booths had been erected , and which O'Connor had pledged himself to be iu possession of by a quarter past four ; and by that hour every inch of ground was in possession of the people , the booths being literally lined outside . Thus matters proceeded till eig ht o ' clock , at which hour the Tories had mustered in the booths in the

greatest number , and , emboldenedbythls , alarge boayof blue devils rushed into the market-place , and attempted to farce the Cbartiata back ; but in less than five minutes the rufians were driven fr ont the field in all directions , ahd / or the remainder of the day , and up to the close of the election , the Market-place remained in the undisturbed possession of the Chartists . To describe the scene which was kept up f « r eight mortal hours would , be impossible ; excitement never abatea , but on the contrary appeared to increase as the hours roiled on . ¦¦¦ - ¦ ¦ - ¦ :-. v . \ \ ; ¦ ¦ ., . . ;¦ . ¦¦ ¦•;¦ , ¦¦ ¦¦ ¦ ¦ .:.. '¦ • ¦
Attfta o ' clock , Walter was beat , dead beat , and he discovered / for the first time , that virtue would rally around Sturge ; and then to work went Tory gold and Whig influence . * v The : ^ n ^ U 7 ' ^ comptQluiaaU ^ ' al ai ¦ * niAd' foe their , £ 4000 , began to exert their influences many Whigs polled tor Walter , and about rorty-fou * publicans , who were operated upon by double motives , also flew to the rescue . The ; Whig magistrates' being the compromisers , threatened with loss of license upon the one band , while Sturjge- a anUrtippling resolution , rendered them unfriendly upon the other , and yet , in spite of all did Sturge poll 1801 electors , being a large majority of the registered constituent body , whileWalters Parliamenbuy title consists in many voices from the grave , and many sweet ones purchasedwithTory gold ; but howbelt , out he will certainly go , once more , and . perhaps , loss in cash will teach him a lesson which loss of aharacter does not aa yet appear to have impressed upon his mind .
At four o ' clock , the market-place waa crammed , ' and the feeble Tory crew proclaimed the feeble Tory triumph , which was followed by groans from the assembled thousands ; and . inimediately Mr . O'Connor presented himself at the window of his lodgings , and was hailed with the most enthusiastic cheers . Alderman Wakefleld , the head conspirator , and a number of his Whig dupes were in the opposite windows of the police courts ; and if Walter writhed under the caatigation on the previous day at the nomination , Wakeflell and bis drew must have quailed under O Connor ' 8 lash when he said , ¦•> You are now , you slaves , well represented : you have a renegade Whig and a renegade Tory . " Wakefleld and his party could not stand the thousands of honest fingers which were indignantly pointed at them , amid groans and execrations , and were literally driven from their peeping holes .
O'Connor then put on his boots , without skin on his heals , and hopped across the market-pla « e , where he again addressed them . . -vA public meeting which was announced for seven o ' clock , in the Market-place , was addressed by O'Connor , M'Douall , Clarke , and West ; Roberts ; O'Connor ' s seconder being in the chair ; towards the close of the business , West announced that be bad been grossly insulted by some blue lambs , who threatened to murder him and O'Connor . This threat roused the blosil of the Irish Catholics , who immediately after the
proces-Bion had escorted O'Connor home , formed themselves with a powerful party , and paraded the town the whole of Friday night , occasionally passing O Connor ' s lodgings , and cheering . One circumstance should not be omitted , the blues contemplated having a procession , and at about half-past seven , made tb « ir appearance in the Market-place , with a vast number of blue flags and banners ; but upon beholding the Chartist gathering , tbe whole party became simultaneously panic-stricken , dropped their banners , and scampered off in all directions , to the great amusement of the Chan ^ ta .
After tbe meeting , the Chartists formed a procession , sung through the streets , accompanied O'Connor to his home , and thus terminated the ever-memorable Nottingham struggle , In which virtue put vice to shame and sobriety gained a lasting triumph over dissipation . We must now return for a moment to the notice of the Reverend Mr . Stephens , whom his friend , the Times , rejoices now to call'hia * -Conservative Friend . This gentleman proceeded on Thursday after the nomination to the house of Mr . Oliver , the printer , for the purpose of revising and correcting a Tory speech ,
which he made upon his health being proposed by Walter ' s Committee , asA while there waa recognised by many a poor fellow / who bad stinted himself of ft dinner to augment the Stephens' Defence Fund . About a hundred persons collected outside ; some crying out 'D—nthee , give me my shilling , I wanted a dinner when I gave it thee ; give me my threepence , thou devil !" Mr . Oliver in vain tried to appease and disperse thorn , by calling in the police : when fortunately Mr . O Connor made his appearance , and persuaded the people to go peaceably away . . ¦
On Saturday morning , Mr . Feargus O'Connor and Alderman Frearson , accompanied by a number of the most respectable inhabitant * , and surrounded by thousands of the good people , appeared at the police office , to answer to the several charges preferred against them , and in less than a minute the large room was crammed . Nine magistrates were in attendance , the mayor in the chair ; when Mr . Bowly , solicitor for the plaintiffs , announced that it was not his intention to offer any evidence in support of the charges ; that he , therefore , abandoned the case against both defendants . Mr , Alderman Frearson said , that he demanded an apology for the insults offered to him , and insisted upon the proceedings going forward . Mr . Browne , solicitor for Mr . Frearson , said that the course intended to be pursued by the plaintiff was adopted with bis perfect concurrence , and was , ia his opinion , tantamount to an apology .
The Mayor observed , that no evidence being adduced , they had no power to proceed . Mr . O Connor B&Ad that he required no apology ; that he was perfectly satisfied with the arrangement , and when the announcement was made that this ease was dismissed , the building rung with cheers , which were re-echoed outside , and thus terminated the great prosecution . Mr . O Connor , and Mr . Alderman Frearson , followed by the people , then left the court Mr . O'Connor addressed the multitude from tbe winuOW Of his lodgings in the Market-piace , and thus ended the whole affair , and a week which never will be obliterated from the mind of any one who witnessed them . Not o :: e Bingle drunken man of the Chartist party was seen throughout the whole week .

Mr . O'Connor shoitly addressed the people out of Mr . Robinson ' s window , and they peaceably dispersed .
I forgot to state that , on Friday evening , we had an Immense public meeting , in the Market-place , when Messrs . O'Connor , Clark , West , M'Douall , Mead , and Jones were present The three former briefly addressed the people I and then we traversed the whole round of the market , singing , " We'll rally around him , ' * when the meeting quietly dispersed . Oh Sunday , Mr .. Xlead lectured af the Pheasant Library , at twelve o ' clock , and preached ; upon the Forest , at half-paat two , from the 16 th chapter of the 1 st Epistle to the Corinthians , and 57 th verse , — "Thanks be to God which giveth va the victory . " The congregation was about ten thousand persons .
In the evening , Dr . M'Douall lectured to upwards of twenty thousand , and then we formed a procession , and proceeded down Mansfield Road , through Plumberstreet , to the Market-square , singing Chartist hymnsthis is a novel procedure in this town , and astonished some of the natives very much , especially the Sabatonian canters . \ [¦¦ ¦ '' .

Manchester . —Wednesday Morning , half-past fovr o ' clock . —The decision of the delegates from the power-loom factories , of which I sens an acconnt yesterday , was that they would hold a public meeting in Granby Row Fields , at fonr o ' clock on this ( Wednesday ) morning .
At about half-past fonr o ' clock Mr . Crossley , from StaJybridge . was unanimously called to the chair . HeopsDedTibe proceedingsby Etating ih&t the bus ness iff lie meeting was to take into consideration the best plan to be adopted to secure a fair day ' s "wage for aiair day ' s -work . The meeting was addressed by Mr . Dona van , Mr . Xane , Mr . M'Csrtney , Mr . Doyle , and Mr . Dixon . The latter gentleman told the people that he thought the anti-Corn Law League was at the bottom of these reductions . It would be remembered by m&Dy present that that oracle of the League , Dickey Cobden , had told Sir Robert Peel that if the Corn Laws were not repealed it would be impossible to
teep ihe people in the manufactnring districts in subordination j and the manufacturers being desirous of making their prophet appear as a true one , had adopted the plan of reducing wages to drive the j > eople to desperation . But he ( Mr . Dixon ) hoped that the people would have more good sense than to be made the tools of the parties who had proved their greatest eaemies ; and that they would , whilst endeavouring to get an advance of wages , be deteraiined to keep the peace . The number present was about ten thousand . After the meeting they formed into procession to go through the manufacturing parts of the town . About half-past Sre o ' clock , a number of females of
assembled m the aej ^ hwrarbood Great Anooats-BtreeV , and proceed through the main streets , their numbers all tbe while augmenting . Their object was to stop thfc various mills not already stopped . Having meeeeded in bringing cnt the -workpeople ia the employ- of Mr . Moor , of Mill-street , they firen proceeded to the mill of Messrs . Kennedy , ¦ where their application for the dismissal of their ** hands" baviDg been refused , they ponred a tremendous volley of stones into the windows , burst open the outer door , and were about to rash into the factory , when a pose of police arrived , headed by Sir C Sfeaw . A scene hereupon toofc place which bafibs all description . Tbe police charged the people , sparing neither age nor sex , bnt laying about them right and left with their bludgeons and cutlasses ; many were knocked down and beaten till they were unable to rise from the ground . Oue old few
man , eighty-two years of age , aad within a - yards of his own door , had his head cut in a most shocking manner by a blow from a cutlass . A great qnannty of stones were thrown ; and the people having rallied , the police , who had separated -in fours and fires to use their bludgsons and cutlasses , scampered off in all directions , amidst the curses and execrations of the immense assemblage ; nor did they stop till they were told by their superiors tnat the military ' were close at hand . The nuiUary then came up , consisting of a detachment of Dragoons and another of the Rifle Brigade . The police again ¦ returned to the charge , and Tfith tbe assistance of the soldiery succeeded in dispersing the people , and capturing many , chiefly boys , whom they took into Messrs . Kennedy ' s mill ; and after a snort tfnie , marched them down under an escort of both horse and foot , and a numerous body of the police to the Borough Conrt for examination .
At twelve o'clock , the people again assembled in Granby Row Fields , according to the decision ^ of the meeting in . the morning . Mr . Donavan was unanimously called to the chair . He said that , as & working man , aad a power-loom weaver , he would rather die than go to work , until he had a fair remuneration for his labour . His was not a solitary case . He had three children and a wife . He dare sot go home ; for if he did ; these children wonld -tskiinn for bread , and he had none to give them j r-aad he . was sure tb&t thousands of those who now heard him were in the same condition . ( Load cries © fi » Y « s , we are . ' ) Mr . P . made a powerful appeal to the people , during which he was loudly eheered : The meeting was also addressed by Messrs . Dixon , Lane , P . M . Brophy , Woolenstan , and -others . The nnmbeis present were from 15 , 000 to 20 , 000 . 1
A resolution was passed by acclamation—' That a meeting of tbe various trades and working men be held on this ground on to-morrow morning , at six o ' clock : ai-d that we do not return to work until we feaveihe prices paid to us far our labour that we had in the beginning of 184 Q . " The Riot Act baa been read : at least , . bo say placards that are being posted . Wednesday afternoon , half-pest Three . —I have ias * hiA UtiQ news brought to me , that an attack has been made upon the peop le in the neighbourhood of Oxford-Toad . I can rely upon the veracity of my in&aBaoi , -who was an eye witness of the proceedjpjrs , . lie mechanic * of Manchester were about to EoldameetJiieoBapieeeofwaBteSTOund , near the

tbeir emp loyers . Tt having been told to the magisiraieB that great numbers had got pto the town by another route they consnltedfor a while , and then let the AshtoD-men passdown Ancoats-Btreet . The people tnnted to 6 &T 8 a meeting in Stevenson ' s-sqnare , but g » so tborities having notice of this , soldiers were again pot as a barrier to them , and they were obliged to pass on to Piccadilly . Here the people consulted , and formed tbe design of having & meeting on tbe ever-to-be remembered " Peterloo ; " but in this iney were again frustrated , by the military , wio ware stationed , for the purpose ,, at the top of Mosley-street . Not in tbe least disconcerted , tbe procession sallied down Portland-street , at the bottom of which the military were again stationed ; This caused Uiepeeple to torn down Sackville-street , and they ultimately reached Granby-row Pields .
It-being HOW twelve o ' clock , and the factories loosing , it was determined to hold a meeting there . A cart being on the spot , it vras soon mounted , and before the Magistrates and Colonel Wymess could arrive , Mr . Pilfing , who had been appointed Chairman , waa addressing a meeting of more than 20 , © 00 persons . ~ , Tho meeting waa also addressed by Mi . Challeager , Mr . P . M . Brophy , Mr . Dixon , Mr . Bailey , Mr . M'L&ttgbian , Mr . Doyle , and Mr . J . Leach , of Hyde . : t , After thanks bad been given to the Chairman , and { firee deafening cheers given for the People ' s Charter , the people of Staley Bridge , Ashton . and Hyde again formed in procession ^ and took the road home in a "peaceable and orderly manner .
After tbe turn-outs had left the town , great ¦ numbers of the workies in the Machester mills collected together , and repaired to the faotemes of Messrs . Kennedy , Gray , Williams , dark , Harbottle , Guest , Barton , Thompson , Lees , H * yie * a . printworks , and Preston ' a spindleshop , at Pra-tnill-brpw ; and here we are sorry to saj great damage las been done . The framework of ifie Trindows has been completely demolished , and sevsral of the m * n severely beafcea for going to work again at one o ' clock . At Mr . Mellon ' s timber yard , ¦ where the foreman , a Mr . Tnrnbull , refnsed to let file men puti he was set upon and left in a very dan-^ eroinrstate . The sawing machine was completely destroyed . Mr ; Newton ' s dye-works was also stepped ; bat no damage was done at . this place . At
Mr . Birley ' s . mill , Oxford-road , considerable damage Tfis dbrre , and life was lost . Mr . Btriey is well tnown as one of the Manchester Yeomanry on ihe femed 16 th of Angnst , 1819 ; and , as such , has re > -ceived many marks of popular esteem . When tho turn-outs arrived at this mill to induce Messrs . T 3 irley ' 8 "hands" to join them , the force-pnmp ¦ worked by tbe engine vras turned upon them . This produced retaliation . Some carts , laden with coals , happening to pass at this moment , were instantly thrown np , andtfle windows were almost as instantly demolished . The managers of the mill then ascended to the roof , and threw down npon the mnltitnde in the streets , heavy pieces of stone , iron * and other missies . One of these falling upon the head of a young girl , dashed her braina out on the spot .
The police are all out , armed ; and the military are posting from one part of the town to another , endeavouring to disperse the people . What the end of this state of shmg 3 will be God only knows . At the present there is not a mill working in Ashton-uader-Lyne , Stalybridge , Dukinfield , or Hyde . On this night there is to be a meeting of delegates from the whole of tbe power-loom f&etories in Manchester , to be held in the Large Boom of Mr . Kennedy , Temperance Hotel , Crossstreet , off Swan-street , to take into consideration the test means to be adopted to prevent the reductionwhich ihe masters are about to make .
The Bill calling that meeting contains the following , as a specimen of the way in which the weavers are treated : — The 56 reed 20 ' s twisf , 16 ' s and 20 * 3 weft , length 62 yards , breadth ' 27 inches , pieks 13 ia the $ iacbj in J 839 was Is . lOd . ; at present it is only Is . Bd ~ , and this vreek they had ihe andacity to offer a further reduction of 2 d . ptr cut . "

moushed . I also went to see the premises of Mr . Becton , in Lower Mosley-street , and here similar devastation was to be Eean . The factory windows , with the windows of tho dwelling-house of Mr . Beofcon , and those of two other adjoining houses occupied by his managers , are all smashed . The town is is a state of great excitement . The military and the police are moved from one part of the town to another , in order to disperse the people , but without effect ; for as soon as they have accompliehed it ia one pait , their presenca is required in another .
John Edward Taylor , of tbe Manchester Guardian , states that the depredation ? committed are attributable to tbe Chartists . This is as black a falsehood as conld be uttered . lam bold to say that there wa 3 net a leading Chartist in the mob ; and although some of the Chartists hare taken part in the meetings , it has been for the express purpose of advising the people to be peaceable , under th '* conviction that the Anti-Corn Law party are at the bottom of the whole concern .
