RIOTS IN LANCASIIIRE. PROM OIIR CORRISPONDENT. Mautinares, STIIIIAT MORNING EIGHT &CLOT; MAT 7. We ate perfectly quiet here. Yesterday and last night having passed over tranqullly. At Huhu, the commercial embaramments of a large house will throw many hundreds of persons out of em. pleyment, but I hope man to see the spindle and the shuttle as active as ever. There is already a subscription at Hulme, ands hope that every !king will be done for those who are out of work. His MAIIOTT the Kw, Goo bless him, has generously set the ezinaple, which I doubt not will be followed ►y his faithful subjects. The tub-Committee of Management of the fund for relieving the poor in this town and neighbourhood, has published ■ new address, an nouncing what has been done, and is doing In London for our relief. FROM TUB ' , RUMOR CHRONICLE OF SATURDAY. We have the satisfaction to say, that in this town everything has remained perfectly quiet. On Monday, indeed, the town was thrown into some alarm from the drums beating to arms, but it turned out to have been occasioned by a ludicrous mistake. A pugilistic contest having taken place on the Moor. a great concourse , cit people was assembled to witness the fight; the crowd was seen from the upper story of one of the factories, and no doubt being entertained but it was a muster of loom-brokers. the military were ordered nut, and the drums had nearly gone their rounds, before the mistake wa• discovered. A troop or the ttd Dragoon Guards, and a detachment of the 731 Regiment of Foot, have taken up their quarters amongst us; the factories are guarded at all points, and have been stored with paving stones in the upper rooms so that no fear is entertained of any attempt to break into them. The Civil 011iceta have this week been vigilant in their endeavoers to secure the ring leaders in the various districts where outrages have been committed, and several parties of prisoners have passe,/ through this town for Lan cutter, escorted by the military. Up to Thursday evening thirty three prisoners ' male and female, bad arrived at the Castle; and nine others bad been brought to the Preston House of Correction, but not fully committed. FROM THE MANCRISTRIL COURIER. We have this moment received expresses from Bury, Rochdale, Oldham, Ashton-under-Line, Hyde and Denton, all of which places have been particularly peaceable for the treater part of the week, and still continue to be so. Yesterday morning iel t ollo/. was received in Rochdale for the me of the poor, from the Committee appointed at the meeting in London on 'Tuesday. The sum of .1100 has likewise been trans. mined to Rochdale, as a donation from the Bishop of Chester. Ever since Tuesday evening there has not bees any disturbance in this town deserving to be called a riot. The principal factories throughout the town and neigh- bourhood indeed are so well defended, that any attempt to attack them would infallibly end in the discomfiture, if not the destruction of the assails:its. Within the last few days there have been one or two turnouts. COMM& Oases, FIELDAT NM:, 11 O'CLOCL We have just received an express from-Edenfield, de• tailing the result of the inquest held there before Mr. Errand, upon the bodies of the persons killed at Chad derton. The inquest, which commenced last Friday, has been sitting almost every day since, and only ter minated at a late hour this evening. In the case of James Whittaker, the jury found a verdict of Wilful Murder against a rifleman unknown. In the cases . of John Ash worth, John Bothwell, James Lord, and Rich. ard Lund, they found a verdict of Justifiable Homicide; and in the case of Mary Simpsdn, Accidental Death. IRON TUE MANCHRSTSR GUARDIAN OF SATURDAY. With a few trifling exceptions of annoyance to the power-loom hands still at work, and of attempts by the turn outs to induce the hands at other mills to imitate their example. Thutsday passed over quietly. Yesterday morning the turn out power-loom weavers, their numbers apparently swelled by the addition of some other persons, a4embled in the hollow to thelight of Oxford-road New Di idle. They also offered some annoyance, in the cfrure of the day, to the hinds who continue at work in the Oxford-road Mill. They were, however, dispersed by the police, and one or two (females) taken into custody. Some little disturbance of a similar kind took place at Messrs. Chadwick, angg, and Co.'s new mill. With these minute excep tions, the town was perfectly tranquil. FROM THE MANCHESTER GAZETTE OF SATURDAY. Friday, at noon, the turn-out power-loom weavers assembled in front of Messrs. Clogs, Norris, and Ca. in Miller's- street, and endeavoured to intimidate those who were at emir. When the latter went out to dinner, the turn-outs became so violent, that it it was thought ne cessary to send for special constables, who'succeeded in taking into custody two of the most outrageous, and conve)ing them to the New Bailey. The attempt to prevent any person from accepting work is at all times a most unwarrantable interference, but it is peculiarly aggravating in times like these. We understand, th it at Clogg and Norris's the people were assured, that nothing but the badms of trade prevented them giving an advance, and that to enable the weavers to earn more these Gentlemen agreed that they might work full time instead of four days a week. All the weavers, with the exception of about thirty, were satisfied with this, but the intimidation which was used forced fifty more to join the turn-outs. • NllOll TUE BRADFORD COURIZISECOND EDITION. Curium-mews, Arnamens. Five e'Cr.ocz. The Inquest has just finished which bas sat upon'the body of Jonas Bairstow. The Jury, after hearing evi dence, returned the following verdict ;—., Shot by some person, t. the Jurors unknown, in the mill of Messrs. Hord:11 and Co. in preservation of the lives of the per sons and property therein." There is no other person dead of the wounds re ceived last night than Joan Bairstow. It is not the fact, as stated in a Second Edition of the Leeds Inteiii gencer, that Henry Pearnley died last night. Another per son, Richard Thempson,was also wounded yesterday evening in the leg. Ammo Cranes, who was apprehended about two o'clock this morning, was brought up foe eumination this forenoon, and fully commeltted to Tsrk Castle. There is at present perfect tranquillity in the town and neigh bourhood, and the meat Agonies means have been adapted to pre vent any repetition of lest night's transudes. We are glad to anneunce that there has this day been an improve ment in the market, mere goods having been sold. We learn from Blackburn, under the date of Thursday last, that the return of tranquillity had brought with it some symptoms of the revival of trade; 40,000 pieces of band-woven calicoes have been sold this week, and the manufacturers have given out more work to the weaver's than usual. Horsfall and Garnett's works at Low Moor, near Clithero, are again in full operation. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. IMIIIII SATIIIIDAT 1NP11303‘114 MAT IL The state of this town and neighbourhood has been 'lslet within the last two days, except some culpable quarrels individually among the fellows who have turned out from two of the factories, and who are desi rous of annoying those with better feelings, who retain their employment at the reduced wages. One or two of these workmen have been beaten, and principally by sturdy women, whose pugnacious powers are likely to be reduced by the discipline of the tread.wheel.— The presence of the military has given confidence to the manufacturing and trading interests, and both Lan cashire and Yot is+hire ar• now completely garrisoned. Major Chester's troop of Horse Artillery, which made •nch a rapil march from Woolwich, is stationed here,' together with the Ist battalion of the 3d Regimeat of Guards, and the ed battalion of the Coldstreams, which left town by the Paddington Canal at one o'clock on Monday, and reached Manchester at three o'clock yesterday. A party of the 10th Hussars. the 36th Regiment from Chatham, and the 58th and 73d from Dublin, are also here. The Rocket Brigade is male disposable according to circumstances, and other divisions of troops are stationed at Warrington, Wigan, Charley, Preston, Blackburn, Bolton, Bury, Burnley, Clithe-o, Rochdale, Oldham, Ashton-under- Lyne, Hyde, Stockport, and Macclesfield ; and corn , municatioas are constantly kept up by piespets with the ti craps in Yorkslir-. Besides the regular forces, the Volunteers are ordered on permanent duty in the prin cipal towns, and the Magistrates are now every where on the alert : the 'manufacturers, too, have well armed their men, and the re i$ every probability that the season of violence is past. In the mean time several of the influential journey men have themselves published addresses to their fellow workmen, strongly pointing out the inevitable danger of these lawless attacks up na machinery. Indeed, the blindness with which some of these cu•rages were per petrated strongly at eats their folly ; for power-looms have been destroyed, which, so far from interfering (according to the prejudice that prevails) with mere manual libour, were actually idle for the last two months; and the same infatuated spirit of attack wa , , endeavoured to be directed against the long French looms, which some enterprising manufacturers have imported from Lyon*, to enable them to compete with the approaching introduction of the French silks into the British market. At Bvalford (Yorkshire) the most persevering spirit of insubordimition has prevailed, and epeatedly (particularly 14stWednesday eveni ►g) broken out into violence and riot. I have gone within the last two days into the quarter of the town where the distress principally rage; and taking merely two streets, apparently a fair sta tdard of the population of the rest, I certainly witnessed scene. of heart-rending misery, which, whet!►er they be said to approach the crisis of starvation or nor, must speed ly produce disease, and a mortality mote slow, istt as cer tain as starvation. In only tour houses in these two streets did I see any thing like furniture—not for corn•. orts, for these are no where to be found, but for actual and partial necessities. Squalid wretchedness charac terized the inmates, and their clothing was barely cal culated to hide nakedness : the women and children were miserable and desponding to a degree, and these females, in the proportion of four t five, were wrapped up in a single garment. Still, however— . in the relative ratio, I would say,' ot fi ve to seven (estimating families)—some miserable pi Lance was coming in from the earnings of one ot two of their number. I saw twelve and fourteen individuals, of whom six were children, penned up in a single room, and a stool. and a small wood:nt spinning wheel ar hand-loom, were the only articles .it .contained. The resting. place, if there be such in a shed of misery so cir cumstanced, was is a corner, and consiited of straw, that, from its varied colours, seemed to have been picked up at different times in the stteets and stables. This is not a single picture : it rather de-crib-s a cla s of inmates forming the majority of the families in the two streets I visited. In many instances this straw was absolutely without covering, but in others there was a ditty and torn piece of blanket, or cloth, or calico,—.- often the tattered fragtuent ot some Article of dress. In these cases, howevsr, with few exceptions (undoubtedly there were some, I should say in the proportion of one• fifth), some part of the fam ly Was earning something, where there were lour and ix children each, one or.two of the latter were picking up twopence and threepence a day at some. sort of employ anent ; and in others,lhe man or the women were, with their wheel, working up some worsted or cotton, which I could understand would, after the day's work. produce threepence or leurpence for labour. This lamentable effort of industry appeared just enough to enable them to eke out, with whatever casual charity added to it, something amounting to the lowest condition of human subsistence. The state of Manchester is gra tually improving ; the cotton trade is described at being better this week. It is in consequence ot this improvement that these turns out" among the workmen have taken place. The "turns out" are, at least in Manchester, very discos'• raging, for the parties are marked, and absolutely ex cluded from relief, and all the club funds have b e n long since exhausted. 0 the 91 refractory wo:kmen who broke loose two days ago from the factory of Messrs. Clogg and Co. 51 have gladly returned, arid are to be re-admitted next Monday ; and of the remaining 40, 20 have espre.sed a willingness to resume work, and will be permitted to do so. Tire Magistrates, both yesterday and this day, had the town placarded with bills announcing their deter mination to enforce the public peace, and warning all persons from congregating, even in small groups, in the streets, and particularly denouncing processions, under whatever denomination. This is market-day ; and from what I can learn, the state of business in par• ticular branches (particularly the cotton trade) denotes Anne improvement. The main cause of all the disturbances hsv, undoubt edly, been poignant (Hitless for want of employment. The extent of that distress it is, however, impossible to ascertain with atcuracs. They merely tell you in round numbers, thar nearly 50,000 of the adult labour ing poor of this town ire now throws altogether upon charity for subsistence. This account, however, cannot be correct to the actual extent of the statement, for the following is the official table of the quantity and quality of relief afforded by tickets for the current week. Each ticket affords the holder 18 pence worth of food for the week. This ticket is merely intended for one individual: two are sometimes (but stldom) given in the same family, but never, as 'far as I can learn, more than three, and this very rarely indeed. So that, whatever extent of misery may be found in a single family, the administration of the quantity of relief does not exceed this proportion. The following is an account of the distribution of yesterday, for the week, for Manchester : No. Of Bacon 'Oatmeal Peas. Herrings.

These tickets are provided by public- subscription, And their issue to the distributors is regulated by the L pecuniary payment of each subscriber. Now it is cleat from this meanest, that if there be 11,000 actually' unemployed adult workmen in Manchester, relief, making every passible allowance for the amount fur nished from the ro-rr•rates and Ovate channels of charity, is not furnished for any thine 'hat number. MANCIIIIISTX4 I SARRINORT Art:miaow, Two O'CLOCK. Nothing particular has occurred since Thursday. I understand that of the 91 power loom weavers who struck at Clogg's and Norris's factory, 40 only rem in out, and that 20 of these are willing to return to their wet k, and will return on Monday. On Friday morning these men assembled in the hollow to the right of Oxford read New Bridge. They also offered some annoyance in the course of the day to the hands who still continue to work in the Oxford-road mill. They were, however, dispersed by the Police, and one or two (females) taken into custody.— , Some little disturbance of a similar kind took place at Messrs. Chadwick, Clogg, and Co.'s ne v mill. In the mean time distress amongst the hand-loom weavers is I rather upon the increase than the decline. A Gentleman who is in the habit of visiting their house for the pur pose of administering reief to them from the public subscription funds, informs me that it is Almost impos sible to form aily adequate idea of their wretchedness ; many of the women, he sa , , s, were getting too weak either to nurse or slick:e their children. Numbers of females and children of both sexes are eagaged hi beg ging, an employment which n Abing b it distress the most dire can ever induce any consid:rahle part of au English populati m PI engage in. The fustian-cutter, have held a meeting, for Cie purpose of re. commending their fellow towns/11t11 Dot to cop e in any acts of insubordination, and deprecating the destruction al power looms as a proceeding which can only increase the distress of the w a. Mr. Poetry, an extensive cot!ou spinner at Hulme, near Man chester, stopped payment yesterday. Tails gen•leman has bad 10,0001. of Gyvernment money on personal security of three indi vidu►ls. The consequences of this failure will be very disastrous at Mime and its vicinity. Six *Timor. —The market to day is said by some to have experienced a little impruventent—hy others it is said to be worse. BIRDIORD, SATURDAY MORNING. The affair here, an Wednesday, was by far the most desperate one on the part of the rioters which has occurred in the North. From fifty to a hundred shots wire certainly fired before the dis persion of the mob could be effected. When the fact of the soldiers firing with ball became known by the effects which it produced, instead of alarming the rioters, it appeared for a time, at least, to make them ten times more desperate, and individual instances of bravery were exhibited, which in a better cause would have re flected the highest credit upon them. It is reported that when the boy Fearniey was wounded, a young man took him up is his armss mad having carried him into a neighbouring house, returned to the scene of action, and commenced a second attack upon'the mill with redoubled fury. Another man on getting his arm paralysed with a shot, Instead of leaving the ground, still endeavoured to throw stones at the•soldiers with his wounded arm. A third, on receiving a shot through the hand, called out to the persons in the mill, " you must give me more than that before I give in." Indeed. so determined were the rioters, that it was evident that if the Yeomanry had net arrived, and attacked them in the streets, they would finally have effected an entrance into the mill, notwithstanding the manner in which it was fortified, and the firearms with which it was defended. The conduct of the York Hussars was highly praiseworthy. No person was injured by them that we heard of, though several of them were struck by the stones. After the rioters were dispersed at the mills, a crowd assembled in Darley-street. Colonel York, of the York Hussars, observing these people, rode up to them, and in the kindest and most conciliatory language, endeavoured to persuade them not to engage in 'any more acts of insubonlinatieo. He said "his heart bled for their sufferings, and he was extremely sorry to we soldiers galloping up and down the streets of a town, whose inha bitants, he was convinced, had they not been goad e d by the most poignant distress, would not have.eonducted themselves otherwise than with the strictest 'propriety." The kind and friendly manner in which the Colonel addressed the people, appeared to have a very good effect upon them. Lea poor rai.tham also addressed the people in various parts of the town, in very conciliatory and judi cious languagi. It seems that Bairstow, who was mortally wounded, was fully conscious of his danger from the moment he received the shot. He was in the act of swearing and exciting the people at the time he re ceived the ball, but no - sooner had that fatal event occurred, than he fell upon his knees and began to pray. A few hours previous to his death he was visited by his father, who had no sooner catered the room than the unfortunate youth exclaimed—" Oh ! father ! father ! pray for me, pray for me." The old man replied—" Nay, lad, I can do nothing for thee, thou shouldst have taken my ad vice and not gone to the meeting." Finally, however, he yielded to the importunities of his son, and going upon his knees by the bed side, prayed for some time with great fervency and apparent devotion. Bairstow continued to pray till his voice sunk away, when he almost immediately expired. Ile was a cotton weaver at Queen's Hesd, about five miles front Bradford. • Coroner's Inquest sat upon his body lasn Thursday, when they founds verdict to the following effect—" That the deceased was killed by a musket shot fired in the necessary defence of the property of Messrs.

The Liverpool subscription, for the relief of the poor in the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Che shire, amounted, on Saturday evening, to 30001. Loanos litaxantast Srmxtv.—Saturday, the twen tieth anniversary of this Society was held at Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen-street, at which the Right Hon. Lard Gasman, G.C.B. presided. The Report, which Was real by the Secretary, was of the mist gratifying description, in regard to the effect produced by the exertions of this laudable Society, wish respect to the education of the lower orders of the Irish. Thanks were unanimously voted, and the Meeting adjournei. It is a singular circumstance, that the two unfor tunate E ist India ships the Kent and the Royal George sailed nearly at the same time from England, were insured at Llpyd's at the same time, mostly by the same underwriters, and met the same disastrous fate. And it is no less remarkable, that the policies of insurance of the latter ship were consumed in tie late CAIIMIIOUS fire at the South Sea Chambers—although, to the honour of the parties interested, this circumstance will be of no consequence in recovering the loss. Several of the clothing villages in the neighbourhood of Leeds have become unusually active in the course of the last week. The arrival of another order for the East India trade, principally for smart light fabrics, usually called ladies cloths, has given this partial but salutary impulse to the manufactures. . 01 DIVONSKIRZIII DZPAILATURC, &C.-- His Grace proceeded to the point of embarkation on board the QLOLICESTIM man of war, on Saturday last, Accompanied by the Steward of his Household, Mr. SPINCER RIDGWAY.
