" Soon after twelve o'clock the Magistrates and a body of Constablos, repaired to the ground to which the Brigaded Reformers had marched, and in conse quence of deposition's made before several of his'Ma jesty's Justices of the Peace by many of the most respectable inhabitants of the towns of Manchester and Salford, in which they stated their apprehension of riot and tumult as the probable consequence of such an assemblage of persons from distant town ships, marched thither under banners so explicit of r;:hellious intentions, the Riot Act was read, but it did not appear to be much attended to by the infa tuated crowd, who continued to scowl and laugh at the Coustables, &c. in attendance. We understand the Travelling Orator had begun to address the Reformers when, an hour• having ex- pired after the reading of the Riot Act, the warrant of the Magistrates were carried into effect. " In the course of the afternoon the following per sons were taken into custody in• addition to thote taken up oh the field :—Valentine Faulkner, Jamet 'Johnson, William Billinge, William Bolton, Edward Perrins, Thomas Kesugh, James Moorhouse, John Knight, Isaac Murray, Thomas Ashton, Thomas Worthington, Abraham Whitaker, William Ash worth, &c. &c. and a great number of rioters, from various parts of the town were escorted in the even ing, by the cavalry, to the New Bayley." (BY EX PIIRS4) " NANCHESTER, MONDAY NIGHT, Eleven &Clock. ' 4 The town is now in peace and quietness for the moment, but threats of vengeance are predominant in a very great degree. Since ml• former communi cation I have visited the Infirmary of this town, and ascertained, precisely, the number of victims who have fallen in this cause. The number of wounded men may be stated, .at a moderate calculation, '' Eighty. One unfortunate victim is a gentleman of the name of Hw.Ma, who is a resident of the town of Manchester, and an individual of great property as well as respectability, and has only been a few months married.. He was in the charge that sur rounded the hustings, and soma miscreant aimed a blow at him with a brick, which had effect, and le velled him with the ground—and in the fall he frac tel* 1 his 810, whkh will ultimately be his death—he lingers at present in great agony. Three persons are already dead ! _ " After the Meeting the populace assembled in great numbers at New Cross, a place which is inha bited by the Irish, and of desperate character ; their conduct was such as to require the interference again. of the military, whose presence proving ineffectual, they were compelled to have recourse to coercive measures, and fired on the deluded multitude, the consequence was, that one person was sho: through the back part of the skull, the wound of• which is,, mortal; another is this moment undergoing ampu tation of the leg; and several other persons are car vied to the Infirmary dreadfully wounded. " The mob in New Cross proceeded to great lengths, and actually broke open a shop in the neigh bourhood, and every respectable person who hAp paned tobe passing was stoned." We learn by a Qentlentan who arrived by the Mail this morning from Manchester, that on the night of Monday allshe roads leading from that town to Mid dleton, Le Rnyton, &c. presented a distressing spectacle or men, women, and children, all hurrying homeward in the greatest disorder, some with their clothes torn, others lamed by the wounds they had received in the affray, &c. Yesterday morning se veral hundreds of persons were seen within fourteen miles of Manchester lying in the fields ky the road side, overcome by fatigue, or unable from the injuries they had received, to reach their homes. The mili tary and police continued parading the streets of Manchester during the whole of Monday night. The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this forenoon, but they bring no news. Five per Cents.

They are not likely t. appear agqin very soon. The fol lowing are extracts; " CAPE TOWN, MAY S. " The Caffres have broke out, and a very aarioas war I. car ried on ht present on the borders.

Mit and Duke of YORK, the Marquis of ANnutsr.t, Lord HENRY, Sarmuun, Sir WILLIAM KEPPEL, the 'Hon. Captain Pitorr, and a select party, dined with the Earl and Countess of CAyAs, at Eaglchurst, in the New Forest. ' The morning being very calm, it was expected the PRME REGENT would have crossed the water to the Nese Forest shore, in the barge, but a breeze spring- . ing up about 3 o'clock, P. M. the Royal Yacht was instantly got under weigh, and, after standing a few miles to the Westward, bore up, and came to anchor off Eaglehurst. At half past 5, the Royal Brothers, and attendant . 'party disembarked, saluted by huzzas from the 'crews of an immense line of yachts and pleasure vessels, and from an innumerable throng of yeomanry and peasantry on the Cliffs, all attracted to witness the landifig of the PRINCE REGENT on the New Po test shore. Lord CAVAN, to facilitate the landing, had most judiciously erected a temporary jetty, which enabled his Illustrious Visitors to walk to the shore with the greatest convenience, an 4 there it was his Lordship first greeted their arrival, amidst loud and continued acclamations of the surrounding and loyal multitude. The singularly beautiful sejour, which at first ap peas like a military encampment—Eagleht rs', with the picturesque scenery around, and the Solent sea in front, bearing the Royal yacht and frigates, with a vast assemblage of private yachts in sight, could not fail to strike the Royal mind with pleasurable surprize' and delight ; so that his Royal Highness in stantly exclaimed, This is another of those en chanting spots that would possibly have remained unknown to me, had I not become a yachtman!" After partaking °fa splendid dinner, and spending a highly festive day—the hilarity of which, was not a little heightened by its being the Duke of Yones Birth-day. The illustrious visitors retreated to the shore— the Tower and Trees being in full illumination, at eleven o'clock, and embarked in a barge for the Royal yacht, to sleep on board, which they reached in a few minutes. This day the PRINCE REGENT sails up Southamp ton River to view a Sailing Match, a display that engrosses much of his attention, and in the afternoon dines with Lord HENRY SEYMOUR and a select party at Norris Castle. So unalloyed has been his ROYAL HIGHNESS'S enjoyments since he has been at Cowes, that he has given orders (tremble, oh, Brighton!) for the purchase of a marine villa in this terrestrial Pa radise, intending hereafter-to become a resident of the Isle of Wight, and to devote his leisure days tci the rational amusement of 'yacht,sailing. THE DUCHESS OF KM'S BIRTH-DAY. Yesterday, being the Duchess of )(ENT's birth.4lay, the Duke made arrangements for rejoicings, in ho nour of the anniversary of the Birth of his beloved Duchess. Monday night a military band attended at Ken sington Palace, to usher in the subsequent morning with rejoicing ; they continued to play for about half an hour. Yesterday morning, at half-past six o'clock, the Princess FEODOR, attended by her Music Master, and also by the whole of the domestics, were in the room adjoining the Duke and Duchess's bed-room , to sere nade her Royal Mother with " GOO save the King," the Music Master presiding at the grand piano -forte; the solo parts by the Princess, and chorussed by the' whole of the domestics. In the course pf the day several distinguished characters called a; the Palace, to lave then names 44(1' respectful compliments qu the happy return pf the day. Their Royal High nesses had a dinner party in honour of the day.-- Among the company was the Duke of Sussex. The Princess ApousTa and the Duchess of GtoucesTsit came from Windsor in a coach and four, attended. by General TAYLOR and Miss DEsanow; The Du chess of YORE came from Qatlands in her curricle, her Royal Highness driving herself.

Baron JUST, the Saxon Minister, General Walk- TIIIMALL, Comptroller of the Household, General MOORE, Captain CONROY, Dr. WILSON, &c. were present. The company sat down to dinner exactly at a quar ter before five o clock. The hand of the First Regi mentof Life Guards, in their state uniforms, were stationed in a large marquee pitched on the lawn, near the windows of the dining-room. 'The marquee was found to impede the effect of their playing, and they removed nearer the window, and played with must exquisite taste, particularly the overture to Anacreon, and Away with Melancholy. Their per- 1 formance attracted a numerous assemblage of gep teel company, who promenaded the delightful walks in the Gardens, near the Palace, which rendered the scene particularly gratifying. Among the company were, the Earl and Countess a Strrox, 'the Ladies . MouNtux, Etc. &c.' After dinner the company ad journed to the apartments of 'the Duke of Sosst:x in the Palace, where his Royal Highness entertained them with ' coffee, &c.

( From doe Biroosi oogloaos olkstos,j " The rumour ot . list Saturday is confirmed. Oar, silly Authorities have preferred and obtained bills of indictment against the individuals above named. " Immediately on the intelligence arriving in town, Major Cartwright and Mr, Woolcr set out for War wick, to meet their accusers upon their own ground, and put in bail to the charges preferred against them. Major Cartwright arrived at Leamington on Monday, and Mr.Wooler atWarwick on theNkednesday morn ing. On Thursday, when Mr. Pearson, as solicitor for the parties who were provided with sufficient bail, waited upon the agent for the prosecution, Mr. Spur rier, he was infprmed that the prosecutors could nct tell the amount of the bail that would he required,* until he received orders from Landon, as the cause had been removed by certiorari into the ri:g's Bench. These orders from London were not expected until Thursday morning ; an 4 when they arrived, the bail demanded was fixed at £5OO each for the principals, and two sureties each in the sum of £250. The names of the proposed bail were instantly given to Mr. Spurrier, who replied, that he should take the bail offered for Major Cartwright, viz. Mr. Canning, of f nacote, and Mr. West, of Clscote. Mr. Spurrier said he did not know any o r the parties proposed for the other Gentlemen, and therefore should require 48 hours' notice before he accepted the security," OVTItAGE COMMITED BY A PARTY OP .EFOlf.. MISTS AT DRILL The circumstance of parties going out to drill having been much talked about hero, two persons, viz. John Shawcross, of Blossom-street, Salford. and James Murray, of Withy Grove, Manchester. set out this morning about one o'clock, for the pprpoie of ascertaining this fact. Pn their way towards Mid dleton, these two persons passed several squads WhO were in regular marching order, and they heard a great many more parties calling to each other, and from the answers being more distant, every time -they were repeated, supposed the 'fields fOr some ex tent containad different parties. The place appointed for a general muster was Whitemoss, between Mid dleton and Oldham. When Murray and Shawcross arrived at the plate, there were at least 500 men at drill; the reater part were drilled in a body; there were also tletached squads of fifteen or twenty each. It eras no bulf-rist three o'clock A, 11r . 'and nearly `bay-light ; Missies-ow and Murray were within 50 yards - of B.(maiit Oody ; a boy of the name of Ray ner, who had been sent by Shawcross and Mur ray to hear what was passing, came back to them and said, " the persOns at drill say, here is Gingerbread Jack coming," (meaning Murray), ff d—n him, we'll pay him, if he comes here."— Shaweross then wished to go away, seeing the eyes of the persons at drill fixed - upon them—the crowd, on seeing them both go away, said, " D—n 'em, at 'em", and some of them came after them, and said, "Come back, come back." Being still pursued, %T -ray and Shawcross fled towards a lane, where they were overtaken, and asked what they were doing there? Murray said, it was curiosity brought them. Near one hundred persons then attacked Murray and awcioss with sticks, stones, and their feet. Some ono knocked Shay, cross into the ditch by a blow on the head and then cl.lled out, " Kill him—murder ..im!" While in the dit.h, one of them kicked Shaw cross, who for some time remained senseless s when he recovered, he found them still beating him, and on his calling " Murder!" they said, " D—n him, finish him." After a few more blows, he was left ap parently dead,' but he was enabled to get over a hedge, and with some difficulty crawled to Middle ton, and has been since gut to Manchester. Doctor Oilier, .v:Yro has examined him, is of opinion that a deep cut on Sawcrciss's lip has been done by some sharp instrument; the back and loins of Shawcross have been batenao a jelly, and he is now confined to his-bed, and likely to remain there some Murray was More abused, if possible, than Shawcioss, and has been brought home in a chaise, and is now confined to his bed. ilia thighs and legs have been dreadfully beaten by bludgeons.
