ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. T LANCASTER, Aua. 15. THE BLACKBURN RIOTERS. James Chambers, Simeon lVright, Thomas Dickinson., and Richard Entwistle were put to the bar, charged with destroying power-looms in the cotton mills of Messrs. Eccles, Shorrock,•and Co. in the parish of Blackburn, on the 24th of April. The prisoner Simeon Wright pleaded guilty, but at the repeated recommendation of *Mr. Justice Panic, retracted his plea. Tne loss sus tained by Messrs. Eccles and Co. was estimated at 3,0001. and upwards. Mr. Srartale stated the case to the Jury. The facts, as well as the witnesses to support them, were generally the same as those brought against the rioters tried yes terday, all being a part of the same mob who attacked the mills of Messrs. Eccles. But in this instance the charge was rather of an aggravated nature against some of the prisoners. Chambers was seen with a large hammer, encouraging the rioters, and telling them not to mind the soldiers; and when spoken to, he asked, " What, are we to be all. clammed" (meaning starved with hunger)? Simeon Wright was also seen with a large stick, with which he aimed a violent blow at the Rev. Mr.- Noble, the Magistrate, who headed the m litany upon that occasion. Dickinson and Entwistle, it was sworn, were seen breaking the machinery. The prisoners, with the exception of Simeon Wrrght, called witnesses to character; who spoke highly in their favour. Entwistle's master said he believed he was at work up to the very moment of the riot. Mr. Justice PARK summed up the case, and the Jury, after a short consultation, asked his Lordship to read the evidence against Dickinson, which he did. They again consulted for a few minutes, and then ex; pressed a wish to adjourn; they did do, and another trial was proceeded with. In about two hours a Juror c ime into Court, and asked if Dickinson's being on the ground constituted guilt? Mr. Justice PARX—Beyond all doubt, if he took a part. juror—We agree that he was there, but we are divided as to his taking a part. Air. Justice Pa ac—Upon my word I can't assist you ; I should be assuming your province if I did; I cannot take a divided ver dict, my oath forbids it. i'lle . Joror then retired to the jury-room. In a few minutes the Jury returned. When asked if they had agreed, the Foreman said—" We find James Chambers guilty of having been present at the riot." Mr. Justice Panc—That Is no verdict, Gentlemen. Is be a guilty or an innocent man? I hope I shall never riot; but it is possible tLat I may be present at a riot. You must agree. A Juror—lbly Lord, we are agreed—Guilty. Mr. Justice Pa ILL—Is that your unanimous verdict ? You ma agree —(A pause.) Mr. Justice Paait—Gentlemen, you had better withdraw and agree —you are interrupting the business of the Court. The Jury then withdrew, and the tithercaese proceeded. la half an hour the Jury again came into Cohn. They acqiiitted Thomas Dickinson, but found the other three guilty. Mr. Sra me begged to inform the Court, that, with respect to Simeon Wright, who had struck kt the Rev. Mr. Noble, that Gentleman was cif Opinion that the man' did not know him to be a Magistrate; and he (Mr.. Noble) had made some inquiries rn the subject. • Mr. Justice Pau said, he could not receive that communicating publicly, it must be made to him in private: W. Winder, J. flowa,th, W. tharnley, and Betty_ Howarth, were neat put to the bar, charged with haves ; ing, on the 24th of April, at Blackburn, broken into the cotton mill of Messrs. Eccles and Co. and destroyed the machinery, &c. The same evidence of a general riot, and of the pri soners being present, and aiding, &c. was given. In addition to which, it appeared that the prisoner John Ilowarth was a farmer, and a man of some property. He was distinctly sworn to as having been seen breaking a loom with a bar of iron, on the day in question; he u.ac apparently a very powerful young man ; when spoken to by the foreman, as to what he was ding there, he took up a round piece of iron, about two feet long, and threw it towards witness, saying, "There, go, thee to work." He then took up a wooden roller, and continued to break machinery, until the roller broke, and then he took up the roller with cloth on, and con tinued to break the looms, until some one cried out, The soldiers are coming r. He was afterwards seen ~a a wall of the factory, from which he fell, having been shot at, and much hurt by the soldiers. George - Grimshaw, the witness who deposed to these facts, on his cross-examination by Mr. COLTMAN (for Howarth) said, he .knew Edward Evans; he was his brother-in-law ; he never told him, or any one else, that, if h.! were book-sworn he could not swear to any persons that %ere doing damage in the mill ; he never said any thing or that effect; his brother-in-law, Evans, never asked him if Howarth had been at the mill, nor did witness ever tell him, or any one else, that Howarth was not there. Pt•eraminetl—Was sent for by llowartb, who told him a bullet had been en! acted from him. lie said he hoped that ai witness had known him so long, he would not do him any injury. .Wisness said to him he had told his masters.that he (Howarth) had been there, ■nd that there were two others who had seen him also. He said the bullet had been taken from the back of his shOulder. Joseph Hoiden-4m the prisoner Howarth take a knife srpm Ms pocket. and cut the twist from the beam of a power-loom; Ikea was sure Howarth was the man. Mr. Cor.swax declined asking the witness any questions. Peter Smith, examined by Mr. ADDISON—He was the spinning master, in the employ of Messrs. Eccles; he saw Howarth in the fourth room ; he was breaking looms with a cloth beam that had cloth on ; he saw him do it several times ; he was sweating very hard ' • witness was watching for five minutes, during which he was laying on as hard as he could. He had nrt known him before, but observed that he was a very stout good looking fellow. John Farnhili, a dresser in the employ of Messrs. Eccles, was in the upper room when the mob came; he saw the prisoner Charnley, and three or four more, on the stairs ; the door was broken open with stick; and large pieces of iron, like those in Court ; he saw Charn ley go into the room, and no more; he did not know him before, but noticed that he had lost his left arm (prisoner has but one arm.) Cross-examined—He only knew him again from the circumstance of his having but one arm. Reuben Heath, a dresser in the factory, saw Charnlek. there ; he had a stick like a mop handle in his hand ; witness did not Fee him do any thing ; there wete three or four more with him ; they broke a door open, and Cbarnley went in with them ; there were three or four trying to force it ; at last a man came with a large piece of iron, and forced it open ; he was positive that the prisoner was the man he saw there, as he had seen him before, but did not know him. John Kay, the constable, saw the prisoner Howarth after he was apprehended ; it was about a month after the riot ; he wai wounded. Witness told him he was surprised at his being there; he said he could not tell his reason for being there (at the riot), and that he had not been there a quarter of an hour. The prisoner farms ani weaves a little, and drives a cart. His mother is a widow. Cross-examined—lt is common with the weavers to have a few acres of land with their cottages. He was a well-conducted man for aught witness knew. -- Kay saw Betty Howarth in the mob in Darwin -street; she was going towards the factory; she wore a red bed-gown (the gown produced); he did not know her before. George Rftley was called, but could not speak positively to the _ - - . female prisoner. W. Winder, when called on for his defence, admitted being pre. sent, but denie d having taken any pare in the riot. John Howarth and W. Cbarnley left their eases in the hands of their Counsel. _ _ Mr. Justice Etas said, he supposed Counsel did not wish to press the case against Betty Howarth. Mr. Suaxix—Certainly not, my Lord. Henry Whitaker and Edmund Swindiehurst gave the prisoner Winder an excellent character. Mr. COLTMAN said, that upon consideration he would not call witnesses to prove the conversation he had alluded to in his cross-examination ; but be would call witnesses to show that Howarth had only left his work and joined the mob. ' Wm. Harde lived at Oswaltwistle, within five miles of Blackburn; he was working these on the day in question ; he remembered Howarth coming for a load of states between eight and nine o'clock ; the slates were for Joseph Lyon. at Blackburn; he left witness about two o'clock for Blackburn, with a second load of slates. John Lyon said, the prisoner was delivering him a load of slates when the rioters passed ; the mob menaced witness and the prisoner if they did not join them; they walked a few yards, and-then be and the prisoner sepa rated. He heard that evening that prisoner had got shot. A witness gave Howarth 'an excellent character. He was an Independent, and regularly attended their place of worship. Several persons gave Charnley a gpqd character: he was a day schoolmaster, and also superintended - the Sunday school. While Mr. Justice PARK was summing up the case, the prisoner Howarth fell down apparently in a fit, and was removed into the air. In a few minutes he was brought back, and placed on a chair at the bar ; he appeared so much altered, as to be with difficulty re cognised as the same person. The Jury retired, and in a few minutes retbrned a verdict of Guilty against wit Winder and John Howarth. They acquitted William Charnley and Betty Howarth. Henry Melling, aged 21, James Bushy, aged 16, and Edward Yates, aged 18; were put to the bar, charged with having, on the 26th of April, broken into the cot ton mills of James Hutchinson, at Elton, in this county, and destroyed the power-looms, machinery, &c. in the same mill. The prisoners, who are mere lads, severally pleaded 14 Not Guilty." • Mr. STARK'S shortly stated that he should first establish the fact that a riotous assembly did take plate and commit the outrage charged, and then he would' call evidence to show that the prisoners took a parr in the riot. Mr. James Hutchinson saidihe was a cotton-manufac turer in this county; his mill was situated in the town ship of Elton, in this county ; on the morning of the 26th 'of April, he placed a man on the top of his house as a watch ; he placed another on the house of Mr. Gundy ; on the evening of that day these was a mob collected ; there were more than 100 persons present ; he saw them near 'his mill when he went there about five o'clock that everting; they had been there before him, and were going from the mill ; he went into the m;11, and per ceived that forty-nine power-looms had been broken ' the cloth and yarn in those forty-nine, and in about 15 others, had been injured by being cut and torn.--CWit. ness here described the position of the power-looms be fore the attack. 3 Thomas Pilkington, the book-keeper to Mr. Hutchin son, at the period in question, saw a mob of nearly 200 ' men force the gates, which were locked, and get into the mill. They were armed with hisinmers DE different des-' criptions, and stakes or poles, and one had a pike. Some of them looked over the wall, and then ct red to the 0 others,l , Come, lads, hie up, all's clear, there's nobody here." Witness asked what they wanted, and they said they came to destroy the looms. They broke the mill ' door and windows, and from 50 to 100 went into the mill; they had hammers and sticks with them, and im mediately began to break the looms. Witness stood at the mill door, and. could beer and see what was going on ; 49 power looms were destroyed or rendered unfit for use. An ahrm was given that the soldiers were coming. This witness idtnrified the three prisoners as being in the mill; he saw Melling and Dusky run out of the mill when the alarm of the boldiets was giver.— He did not see them do anything ; Yates was one of those who came into the i mill-yard when the m.)b just rushed 4 , , John Limey saw Stelling and Busty come out of the mill. Hamilton, a sygeant of the 60th (Rifle Corps). was on duty at the factory on the day in question ; he saw Yates come running out of the factory; after he had crossed the road he threw a Lug,. stone 3t Goldthrap, who was on duty there; the none passed along the Captain's right ear, but did not 'hit trim ; witness was nearly 40 yardsfrom the prisoner,, and is certain he is the man; there were many people abouti the fields, but not many about the gate. The prispners declined saying anything in their defence. A relation of !gelling said, he was a nun of weak intellect, wbo micht be led in any way. The other prisoner called witnesses to character. Mr. Justice PARK summed up the evidence, and the Jury, alter a few moments' consultation, found Melling Guilty; but recommended him to mercy on account of the weakness of his intellects. They acquitted Busky and Yates. Mr. Justice Pant( said he had received a letter from a Gentleman in Cout t, stating that Melling was a young man of weak intellect; he should,therefore, recommend him to the Royal mercy, and in a month or two he might be restored to his friends, who prpmised to take care of him. Sentence of Dods recorded. _ _ _ 7 homas Lomas, aged 30 ; James Gretnalgh, aged 20 ; and James Cratushaw, aged 19, were indicted for at. tacking the mill of Messrs. Hamer, at Elton, on the 26th of April, and destroying 38 power looms thereia. The prisoners were part of a mob, such as that already described, as having committed depredations at Elton, on the '26th of April. Mr. Hamer, seri. described the conduct of the mob at ,his mill. They old him they came to break the power looms. He asked them if they had not better have a few sovereigns than do . io? and they said they would rather break the- power looms than have all the sove reigns in Darwin (a town six or seven miles distant.) — They were armed with hammers, large bludgeons and sticks; one had a dagger. They entered the mill and broke t' , e rower looms, thirtreight in number. They remained ther.: fifteen minutes. The loss sustained was upwards of 3001. Witnesses were called, who saw the prisoners go into aid come out of the mill with the mob. Crawshaw was with a body who shouted. The prisoners, in their defence, declared their innocence. Crawshive and Lomax called witnesses to Character. Mr. Justice Poet went over the evidence, and the Jury, without hesitation, found all the prisoners Guilty. Mr. Browne informed the Court, that attempts were made to reuse Crawshaw, which he resisted . Thomas Leaver, aged '26,. Isaac Ilindk, aged 35, James Chambers, aged 56, and Thomas Dickinson, aged 19, were put to the bar, charged with having broken into a mill belonging to J. Houghton, in the parish of Blackburn, on the 24th of April, and having broken power looms, machinery, Sm. therein. [The prisoner Chambers, it will be seen, had been already found guilty, and Dickinson acquitted, of a similar offence in the early past of this dayl. Damage to the amcunt Of 4501. was done. Evidence was called to show that the different prisoners assisted in the tiot. A witness stated that one of the prisoners wore a drab coat on that occasion. The prisoner, who had previously denied being in the riot at all, Instantly exclaiined, " As I hope to see Gov, my Lord, I had a blue coat en!" The prisoners were all found Guilty. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING. -......--- This being the principal market day, the operations were narrowly watched by all those who are interested in the rise or fall of prices ; but none appear to be per fectly satisfied, as the prices remain stationary. There has been an increased demand for floods of all descrip tions, and purchases have been brsskly made in gray cloths. Country spinners hive also bought cotton freely at the last quotations. It is not to be inferred from this stationary condition of prices, that there is no improve ment in the market : for although goods, which were manufactured in dearer times, are now sold at a loss, I have heard respectable manufacturers say, that they would readily execute orders at the present quotations, and I have no doubt but the low price of cotton and of labour (which is at the lowest point of depression), would fully justify their calculations; indeed, wages , are so low, in proportion to the price of provisions, that nothing but hunger could induce the poor weavers to accept the pittance which they earn; and, limited as that is, there are thousands here who would gladly accept it. The funds of the Committee for the Relief of the Suffering Poor are nearly exhausted, and it was the in tention of the Committee to announce this melancholy fact to the poor, until they were prevented by some suggestion which has been made by Mr. Uyett and Mr. M'Adam, for employing on the public roads such per sons as claimed relief from the funds. This subject is to be discussed at a General Meeting of the Committee, the result of which L shall send you. A St. John's (New Brunswick) Paper, mentions that on the 24th of June the woods arousd Frederickston were 'on fire to an alarming extent; that strong fears were entertained for the safety of the town, and carri ages were employed to transport water to several of the most exposed places. However, a fall of rain occurred, which allayed the fears. It will be recollected that a Memorial was last week presented to Government, by three manufacturers of Birmingham, representing the distressed state of trade in that town. Since its publication the right of the parties to present it, as an expression of the general opinion of the great body of the manufacturers of the 'place. has been disputed, and even some statements in the document itself have been questioned. The Memo rial originated with no public Meeting, and received only 120 signatures. It in general expresses facts, (for in what branch of our trade are there not evidences of falling markets, inadequate demand, and ruinous failures?) but these facts are said to be exaggerated. Yesterday an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Surrey, Sussex, and Southwark F re and Life Assurance Company, was belt' at the Three Tuns Tavern, St. Margaret's Hill, Southwark, for the purpose of con• firming or rejecting the Resolution to dissolve the Company, which was passed at the last Extraordinary 'General Meeting of the Proprietors; JAMES HORNE, Esq. is the Chair. After the Secretary had read the notice which convened the last General Meeting, the CHAIRMAN observed, that• he should not trouble the Meeting with any observations, as the object for which they had met was so well known, but would be glad to hear any observation which any Gentleman might think proper to offer; but he presumed that they had very little else to do than put the Resolution confirmatory of the one adopted at the last General Mewing, which was frr the dissolution of the Company, and which he had no doubt but would pass unanim usly. This motion was seconded, and passed unanimously. It was then moved that the Directors would take into their liberal con sideration the set vices of Mr. Wit.sotr, and the peculiar situation he was placed in by the dissolution of the Com pany, which motion was • put, and passed with-accla. matron. Thanks r<ere then Voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting separated. 7 . . VA* NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. 5m•••4........

HAMM AUG. 13.—For some days past unpleasant reports have been in circulation, respecting contagious disorders said to prevail in Groningen. It is said, that fevers have shown themselves chit fly among those who have been engaged in agricultural labours, and they are attributed to the drinking of brackish water, which, since the floods in February, 18'24, has spoiled the springs. If the accounts we have treeived be correct, 270 persons have been carried off by these fevers, from the 7th of July to the 7th of August. The Government, it is said, has already adopted all measures that can contribute to check the disorder. A singular circumstance took place in Cardiff Church on Saturday morning. While the Curate was perform ing the marriage ceremony for two young people, the bridegroom behave' so indecorously, that the clergy man was under the disagreeable necesssity of reproving him. This not having the desired effect, and the man being found unable from intosicalion to repeat his troth as required, the Curate found himself bound to stop • the service, and dismiss the couple unmarred. A pre cisely similar occurrence has taken place in the same Church within the List six months. Monday, we saw in reality 0 1 a drunken ass." Poor old Neddy bad strayed up the Hcrse and Rainbow yard, Kendal, and had a mind to taste James airker's home brewed, whieh was set out in the coolers. After a hearty pull or two, he staggered out of the yard, and fell, like many another drunken ass, and there he lay, like a drunken beast as he was, helpless, stupiled, and inca pable of any exertion. His Fellside master, on coming to look at him, said with an oath, •• The ass is none drunk, but only acting the old soldier."— West ntorei.pa In the Recorder's Court, Dublin, the other day, a medical student was sentenced to six weeks imprison ment, for striking Mr. Barker. The assault was pre cipated by a quondam female acquaintance of the of fender, in company with Mr. B. refusing to shAke hands with him, because he had pinched her at church ! Sunday evening, during the performance of worship at the Anti-Baptist Chapel, in King -street, Canterbury, the preacher was disturbed in his discourse by a number of soldiers belonging to the depot, in a state of inebria tion, who had previously been quarrelling with a party of men employed on the rail road. The preacher was under the necessity of suspending his discourse. The assistants of the Chapel were deterred from interfering, lest it might have the effect of creating greater uproar, and bringing their noisy brethren into closer contact. At last, after the congregation had sat in trepidation some time, the soldiers commenced the sung of * 0 , ' ti. love, 'tis love, 'tie love, That makes the world go sound ; and then departed, hallooing and !looping in a most disgraceful manner. It is a fact worthy of record, that in Callisle,.in the summer*, 1026, potatoes are dearer than apples* A um spoonful of iatusion of Uorseradi.h has been found extremely serviceable in rtmoving hoarseness.
