lewd exploited In two different ways. One account ta, that when Ik. priories were brought to the inn, Capt. Kearney stated to Mr. tiny, shut it became his duty to deliver then: up to the civil power, MI be had oo right to dogs them in custody ; on which Sir. Gray steoland that be meld ..thing with them. and refused to receive them, when SOW of the mob overhearing the dispu , e, immediately masked the hew, broke the windows, and rescued the prisoners Ikon the roldles on guard, who were without instructions. and un decided how to act. The other account we have heard is, that whoa the attack was made upon the inn, Capt. Kearney demanded ro know from Mr. Gray, whether he should repel it by firing on tile people; when Mr. Gray replied that he must not, on any w ee:sot, permit his men to fire; that he, Mr. Gray, would prefer to see the prisoners discharged ; and they were consequently allowed :u escape. Which of these two accounts is correct, we cannot take upon ourselves to say ; but certain it is, that the escape of the poi. sutlers under such circumstances, after having been taken In the see of destroying the looms, was a most unfortunate occurrence; .e sanded to confirm the impressions previously instilled into the people, that the magistrates and the military regarded their pm. settlings with a favourable eye, and was calculated to encourage went to the commission of further costo2ages. DARIVEN; On the SAM lay on which the attempt was made at Clitherd, sod )lessre. Turner's looms were destroyed at flaslingtlen, a strong detachment of rioters from the neighbourhood of Blackburn proceeded to Over.Darwen, where, without any opposition, they destroyed 18 looms in the factory of Mr. Carr. and lei in the factory of Mr. James Grime: being, we believe, the whole of the power.lomns in that neighbourhood. RAWTENSTALL CIIADDERTON, BURY, Exc. On Wednesday morning a very large number of persons, chiefly f•nm the neighbourhoods of Ilaslingden and N.wehureh, attacked the factory of Mews. Thomas Whitehead and Brothers, at Raw. +Postal!. near Edentield, where they destroyed all the powet-lomns, 190 in number. They then proceeded to Long ifolme, where they destroyed 40 In the factory of Mr. Kay. and 1 in that of M►. Bowie. They afterwards went to the factory of Messrs L. and J. Boonton, of Dearden-clough, where they broke 58 looms. So far the rioters had proceeded in their !owlets career, without opposition or interruption. but in their next enterpriee • different tote awaited them. Intelligence of the commencement of their pro. eredings Lying been conveyed to the military who were guarding the extensive establishment of Messrs. Ashton, of Ramohottom. a pert, of about 14 riflemen. and shim the IMMO number of dregoons„ under the command of Colonel Kearney and Meier Eekersle►, set out in search of them. accompanied by William Grant, Esq. They rroteeded to the factory of Mr. A ik in. of (;hadderton. which was un derstood to be an object of attack ; but, not finding the rioters there. set out in the direction in which they were understood to be„and met them about ■ quarter of a mile from Mr. Aikin's femme. The troops then formed across - he road, and stopped the further pro. vets of the rioters. Mr. Grant then read the Riot Act, and en. treated the misguided men to return home ; but they told him, w:thout hesitation, that they would not; return until they had de. crowed all the looms. As their ,►ogress along the road was stopped 1.1 , the military, they got over the fences, and proceeded ZOOM the fields to Mr. Aikin's premises ; whither, of course, the military and the Magistrates returned, and arrived there about the are time as the mob. The military formed upon the road close to the factory, round which the people assembled in very great numbers, ard, in a few minutes, began to pelt the soldiers with stones. which were showered upon them from all sides without intermission. At the came time a number of the mob broke the windows at the back of the factory, got into it, and began to destroy the power. looms. Col. Kearney, finding the lives of his men endangered, and being himself struck with a large stone, at length ordered the troops to fire, which they did,—at first over till heads of the peo ple, but as that had no effect but to encourage them. the riflemen helm to take deadly aim, and several persona fell, some mortally wounded. The mob then gave way, and part of them were pur. sued by the military, whose attention was thus drawn off from the ;eremites; and no sooner were their backs turned than the work of dartruction recommenced, and the whole of the looms. forty-six in r.uniber, were completely broken. The military then returned from the pursuit, and went back to the factory, where they made a number of prisoners, driving the mob entirely away from the pre. 'nisei to the neighbouring hills. The military then returned to Rsmshottom, with their prisoners; and before they haul reached that place the rioters cone back to Mr. premises. where they destroyed two dressing machines which had previously escaped t 10'f ?Wife. . .... The desperation and audacity of the rioters was quite as eon. I 'Mencius on this (tension as at Blackburn. At the very time when the troops were firing incessantly noon them, many of them feat. feisty entered the mill by the windows, to destroy the looms; whilst others defied the soldiers by all sorts of provoking expressions and gestures ; some holding up handkerchiefs, and asking the rifle. vett to shoot at then). and many of them continued to throw stones without intermission. Of their, a number were picked out, and shot by the riflemen ; amongst others, we believe, the man who hit Col. Kearney with a=tone, was shot at the sante instant by two halls, one of which passed through his bode, and the other entered t':e back of his head. In the whole, considerably above 100 shots were fired ; 'tut by far the greater part of them over the heads of the Isettlde ; for if the riflemen had taken deliberate aim at every shot. the shughter would have been dreadful. As it was, the loss of hi: i. sufficiently melancholy. The number who were killed on the .1113 t, or died of their wounds within a few hours, is six, one of whom, we are sorry to say, is a woman. Their names are— Richard Lund. by trade a blacksmith, hut who kept a small al:op at Ilaslingden; shot through the belly. James Bothwell, a weaver at Ilaslingden ; through the breast. John Aehworth, a weaver at Ilaslingden ; through the body. James Lord, a fulling-miller at Newchurch ; though the body and head. James Whitacre, dresser for Messrs. Rostron's power-looms. through the body. Mary Simpson. wife of Simpson, a weaver st Haslingden ; through the left thigh. Of these unfortunate men, Lund, Lord, and Whatacre, had wives and families; the other two, we believe, were unmarried. Lund. Ashworth. Itothaell, and I.nrd, are stated to have been extremely active in the riot; but Whatacre, we believe, had no participation in it whatever. Ile had been employed during the morning in taking the beams out of the looms of his employ-rs, be:hre they were broken by the mob; and, after their destruction. inconsiderately went down to witness the transactions at Chadder ton, where he mixed with the ooh, and was must unforntnately shot by one of the riflemen. NVith regard to the woman who is killed, we have heard very different accounts, one representing her to have been extremely violent and abusive to the military ; and the ether stating that she had route to Edenfield with the view of going to Manchester by the ct;.tch • and being too late for it, was stand. jog on • bill at a short distance from the factory, when she tee•dred a shot which divided the femoral artery, and she bled to Caw h. Of the number wounded on this occasion it is impossible to speak with any degree of certainty. as some of them Came from d:atant places, and were carried away by their friends. The num. ht.t is mated to be veer considerable, but we have only beard the r „fres of six. four of whom are dangerously wounded. it monist the prisoners taken on the occasion was the constable of Cdenfield. who, being alarmed for his saftty, ion into s pig. tete, whither lie was followed by the military, and apprehended. Notwithstanding the loss of lives and the wound* inflicted on thin ore-sit:in, the rimers were in nowise intimidated. or deterred from their purpose. After they had completed the destruction of Mr. A:kin s looms. &c., they proceeded to the factory of 31evars. Ho mer and Fon, at Summensent, on the road to Bury, where they broke all the looms, 36 in number. Th•y then went on to the factory of Mr. James Hutchinson, at %Vow! hill, quite dose to the town of Bury. where they broke about . - 40 looms out of 200 which the factory contained. Information of their proceedings biting been promptly conveyed to Bury. a party of riflemen int_ n ediately turned out. and Captain Ooldfrap, at Nye head of 20 men. ran at full speed to the factory, where they arrived in time to cave the bulk of the looms, and to take 14 prisoners. several of whom were apprehended in the factory. They were all (as well at those taken at Chaddcrton) lodged in the prison at Bury. They were yesterday brought up for examination, when three of those taken at Mr. Hutchineon's factory were committed On a charge of high treason ; a charge, by the by. which, as applied to this case, we do not exactly comprehend. %Ve believe they all come from I ts-wen. but we have rot heard their ratites. Of the remainder. 23 have been held to bail on a charge of riot, and two arc remanded f•r further examination. A coroner's inquest was held yesterday, at Edenfield, before Mr. Ferranti, on the bodies of five of the persons killed at Chadderton on Weinestlsy. Only two witneasys were examined. and the in. quest was then adjourned to this day. A separate inquest is to be held on the body of James Whitacre. it being supposed that the circumstances of his death arc dissimilar to those of the Other persons. CHORLEY. Shortly after noon on Thursday, a large mob made their appears arty at one of the factories belonging to Messrs. George and Robert If it ton, of Chileley, where there were nearly a hundred steamslooms. The mincing!' were not at home. hut the overlocker having had a few minutes' notice of the approach of the rioters, locked up the mill.— When they made their appearance he mounted an elevated situa tion, and addressed them, stating that his employers were gradually stopping the looms, as the work in them was finished, and did not Intend again to employ them ; he therefore hoped they would go away, and do no mischief. A considerable proportion scented ilk pawd to set an this advice but several rough fellows immediately maid. if the looms were not to be worked again, they might as well Welk them at any rate. The word was then given, and Instantly obeyed. to force the doors ; at the same time a number of the mob bald the overionker th.• they had come to break the looms, and bias they would do ; hut thvy would take gond care that no other part of the machinery should be injured, nor so much as a window broken—and this was strictly adhered to. Howl :er, they set to a: the looms, as many of them as the room would hold, with large 11(.44:e-stakes, and where thee wrath not .10, they tore oft the beams, and prired the other pare of the loom to pieces with them. Some had large knives, with which they tut up the tarn and cloth on the looms, making, in short, a complete acme of devastation. One fellow was beginning to tear down a gas pipe. The overlooker got hold of him, and said. •' Don't spoil that gasspipe—that is no loom, you are doing mischief enough without that." The man looked up very deliberately, and said, well, then, I won't." Colonel Silvester, the Magistrate, attended as soon as possible, and read the Rint Act, amidst volleys of stories dying in all directions, by which several people belonging to the mill were very much hurt. It was at one time proposed to fasten the doors of the mill, and attempt thus to secure those who were in it, but this idea the apprehension of their proceeding to destroy the other machinery caused to be abandoned. Two troops of dragoons which had been sent for by express, left Blackburn about half,. past three Wclark, and performed the distance to Thorley, eleven mks, an less than thres quarters of an hour; but the rioters had gone off about twenty minutes before their arrival. In consequence, one troop immediately returned to Blackburn. The number by whom Messrs. Htltmt's looms were destroyed, wu nut very great, but it was afterwards ascertained that a large body, amounting. It Is said. to some thousands- were lying in reserve, at places called Harper's.lane and Botany Bay. at no great distance. There were, butt eventag, reports that the mob had again made their appearance in ('hurley, and destroyed the few bonnie they had before left in the place, but we are unable to trace them to any au thentic source. ADDING !IA :11. We regret to see It stated in the Wakefield paper of yesterday, that the systern„of outrage has extended to Yorkshire; and that the looms in the factory of Mr. Jeremiah Hondall, at Addinghani, were broken on Thursday ; but the statement is not accom. panted by any particulars winch enable us to judge of its au thenticity. e s BOLTON. We :pave the gratificationoi;t.a . ing a fact ao highly creditable to the inhabitants of Bolton. as that they have continued perfectly tranquil. Some small groups of idle people were collecting id the streets yesterday afternoon. hut they excited no apprehet shin. As a measure of precaution, the Bolton yeomanry mustered on Wed nesday almost to a man, and have been under arms ever since. An additional number of special constables were also sworn in yester day morning. at the sessions-room; hut there existed little or no fear of any disturbance taking place, unless caused by an influx of strangers. From Blackburn we have accounts up to yesterday afternoon. By them we learn that that town has enteric teed no disturbance since Monday. On Tuesday, the passengers by the market coaches from this town experienced no molestation. There were large bodies. chi. lie of unemployed weavers. &c. idling about the streets, and the Riot Art was read. mores's' matterof precaution than any thing else. This, with a very heavy rain, which came opportunely on, had the eff. et of completely dispersing them. The disorganised state of the manufacturing districts is having a most ruinous effect as regards the weavers themselves ; for, al though there has been a very extensive business dune in goods dur ing the week, yet very few of the manufacturers choose at present to risk their property in the weavers' hands, by continuing to de liver out warp anti weft. Thus any faint hopes of improvement are completely blasted, and the number of people thrown out of work is daily increasing to a frightful extent. The damage dune on Monday alone, from twelve o'clock until four, amounts to about 10,0001. including Accrington, Oawaldtwiatle, and Black. bum. MANCHESTER.. We are sorry that the disturbances which have during the pre. sent week agitated Blackburn, and other part, of the county, have extended to this town. in the beginning of the week there were some slight disturbances between the bar de of Mr. James Kennedy, of Great Ancriata.street, anti other spinners, in consequence of the former having gone into work at 11 reduction of wages, which was not approves by the general body • but this was an isolated affair, and produced no general disturbance. We have not, however, escaped them. On Thursday morning, groups of men and boys began to collect in the neighbourhood of St. George's mad, Great Newton.street. &c &c. and formed themselves into a body, in a field near St. George'lnroad• where, about ten o'clock, they held a sort of meeting. They were addressed by a person mounted on the shoulders of another man, the burthen of whose speech chiefly wow that they were peaceable, and disposed to peace, but they wanted bread. After a short time they adjourned to six o'clock in the evening. In the meantime groups of dismderly persons were perambulating the neighbourhood, and from their language and bearing it has confidently expected that mischief would be done at night. At th_ time of their adjourned meeting there were collected together about 3,000 people., chiefly boys, shouting and making a most tumultuous noise. They were ad. dressed by Mr. Prentice, of the Al aurkrter Gazette, who re. monstrsted with them on the impolicy of their proceedings ; recom. mended patience to them, and said that there was a very general and anxious desire throughout the town to alleviate their die. tress, as far as was possible, and that another subscription would be immediately entered into. Ilia observations, however, were heard with a great deal of impatience. Jonathan Ilodgins, the journeyman spinner who has on several occasions evinced so touch good sense, also addressed them, and recommended that another petition should be sent up to Parliament, praying an instant revision of the Corn Laws. If that was not attended to, they might go so farm, to remonstrate ; but their present proceedings were totally unsuited to obtain their ends. Ile wen frequently inter rupted by cries of " We're petitioned long enough,' &c ; and one person called out, " Will you let me eat at your table till the ap *wee comes ?" A cry of the constables having reached the ground. however, caused the mob to decamp in all directions; one loony of $0 or 100 took the direction of Great Ancoats-street, and pro ceeded, their numters increasing as they went along, towards Pollard-street. The mill of Mr. Kennedy having ceased work. leg, they passed it without much notice, hut stopped at the r•i.. of Messrs. Joseph Clarke and Sons, in Pollar.i.stree• and ,t of Messrs. T. and M. Ilarbottle, which are near A:eh other; the former contain,' power-looms for weaving fustian., and against these hostility seemed to be directed, but the latter does not and never did. They broke a number of windows in it, but on being told there were no power-looms there, they passed on to the mill of Metiers. Copley, Barrow, and Co., which we be- • here was unoccupied; they however broke some of the windows, and then went on through New Islington, still increasing in num. lora, to the mill of Mr. Ilugh !haver, in Jersey -street, which contains a considerable number of power-looms, but which (the proprietor nut having had any apprehension that an attack would be made upon it, was quite to an unprotected state. The mob immediately began to demolish the windows of the counting-house, and of the lower, stories of the factory, through which pieces of burning cotton were thrown. The counting-house and die first story were immediately set in flames, which had communicated to the room where the grey goods were kept before the arrival of the engines. About the same time a large party of special constables and some of the military arrived, and cleared the ground in front of,, the mill. The engines having a plentiful supply of water—the factory standing upon the banks of the Rochdale Canal, and moat part of it being fire-proof—the flames were soon got under, and by ten o'clock were totally extinguished. It is understood that the damage done at Mr. Beaver's will be from three to tour thousand pounds; as. in addition to the injury done to the buildings and ' machinery, nearly two thousand pieces of cloth were destroyed. The fire was chiefly confined to the warehouse Dart, and did not extend above the lower story of the factory. This story contained power-looms, which, however, not having been set at work, sus. tamed little Injury. A reward of 2001. has been offered for the con viction of any of the incendiaries. After committing the destructive art. the rioters proceeded to the fac.ory of Mr. Duck, in Oak-street, which is let off to different tenants. This mill formerly contained power-looms, but has not done so for some months past. llere the rioters contented them. selves with breaking most of the windows, without doing further injury. The neighbouring mill of Messrs. John Greenwood and Co. also anstained some damage in this way. They then proceeded along Swan-street , doing a great deal of wanton mischief by the road (such as breaking the chamber windows or houses) to the mill of Mr. Motterehead, to Miller's-lane. This they niistook for the power-loom factory of Blown , . Clugg, Norris, and Co., but which stands back front the Street enclosed in a yard. Under this sup. position they proceeded to break the windows, and threatened fur. thee destruction. A division of the 60th Rifle Corps were however sent for, and admitted inside the mill. They fired a few rounds of blank cartridge over the beads of the mob, which had the effect of entirely dispersing them, after they had done an inconsiderable damage to the windows of another mull, belonging to Messrs. Clop, Norris, and Cu., In Long !Wingate. 1 estenley morning groups of idle and dieorderly persons, chiefly i boys, had assembled in various parts in the neighbourhood of St. Georges-road and Ancoat's-lane, who (judging by their language) seemed to regret that the mischief committed the night before h.d not been more extensive. About twelve o'clock it-was strongly re. ported that the mob were mustering in great force near the factory belonging to Messrs. J. Clarke and Sons, in Pollard-street, An. coat's-street, where there are a number of power-looms, used for the manufacture of fustian'', and that the military had been firing ma the people. This statement, however, we are happy tow, was entirely without foundation. Some people had assembled. - but their nuattirr was not great, and they ventured on no acts of violence, nor were they tired on by the military. It war then reported that an attack would he made on this mill in the CLAIM of the night. Ac tive preparations, however, had been made for its defence ; and at a late hour :.:sterday the proprieturs were in hopes that Mere would be no attempt made on their premiees ; and quite satisfied that if there should, that they had ample meat's of repelling it. In Swari.sfreet. Ancoats-lane. and Great Newnan-street, about noon, and also in Ardwirk and Chothon-row, thete were several parties of rough fellows, who called at the shop* and public and private houses, levying contributions, in money or provisions. Their object, how I ever, seemed chiefly to be the former; and persons were generally intineed, from an apprehension lest violence might be committed, to comply with their demands. In one instance they had .he audacity to stops ewe-coach, and demand, and obtain,money from the passengers. It was currently reported that they ad stripped several provision shops in the neighbourhood of the New Cress and Ati coats. lane, and also at Sank Top; but these statements, we are happy to say, were incorrect. The contribution syst• m, however, was ex. tended to the townships of Ardwirk and Cliorlion.mw., though, we believe, with notch less suceems,than in the places where it was first adopted; and by a little firmness or, the part of the people, and by the precaution, which was pretty generally adopted, of closing the dooms and al:Wows of Shops, It was at length put a atop to. The bustle and excitement of the period, however, was taken advantage of by the professed thieves who swarm in the neighbourhood of St. St. George's Road; add for some hours in the afternoon not a de cvntly dressed person could make his appearautie in the neighbour hood without being attacked. The number and boldness of the rob beries committed were sorb as, in open dajligt4t, and in the centre of a large town, we never beard of before. Mast of the actual tbs. surname during Frith,. up to the hour at which we are writing (seven o'clock in the evening), may. we believe, be fairly stated to have been the wink of professed thieves. We have heard the cir. cuinatances of a very large n•inther of robberies, and the names of the persons robbed. but it would occupy too much space, and answer no important end, ro recount the particulars. 'We may observe, how• ever, that even people in gigs, and on horseback. were stopped, slid their property forcibly taken from them. Gate aid watches were snatched away, great coats seized. and pockets emptied, in al- I most innumerable instances. From the persona who hail been super. intending the distribution of provisions at the different depots ytioce. day, we learn that the poor whom they saw there all seemed to evince the heat spirit, and to view with exttemc disapprobation and regret the riotous and destructive proceedings which lied taken place in other parts of the manufacturing districts,—and, partially, in this town. From what we saw, and alto from what we have heard, of the persons who were so impudently demanding money in different parts of the town and neighbourhood, we are convinced that, gene. THE BRITISH PRESS. rally speaking, they were not inhabitants of Manchester. or its im mediate vicinity, and that they were not stimulated by the pressure of want. The system of audacious robbery to which we have before advert. ed, was continued, so that It was entirely unsafe for a well-dressed person to be teen in that part of' the town, until towards evening, when the greets began to be considerably more crowded by persons who had been attracted to the spot by curiosity. after their day . 's work was over. At length, about six o'clock, the civil power, in considerable force, charged upon that part of the crowd where the most mischief appeared to be going on, and for the moment din ' permed them. They were assailed, however. by volleys of stones, and some of them rather severely injured, and it became quite mini fest that they were not In strength available to clear the streets. In consequence, several of the magistrates, amongst whom were Menai*. Norris, Briefly. and Foster, proceeded about seven o'cli,2k towards Great A ncoats-ntreet, where in half an hour anerwards the Riot Act was read by Mr. Briefly, and a large placard, mat ing that it had been read, exhibited. The cavalry then scoured the streets, and the police made prisoners of those, to the number of 24, whom they met with, and hail reason to think had been concerned in the robberies that had taken place. After this the crowds did not attempt to re-assemble, but up to a late hour, indeed until past midnight, every thing remained perfectly tranquil. As a measure of precaution, however, piquetsof the Queen's Bays were ordered to patrol the streets during the night. A company of the Rocket Brigade reached this town yesterday forenoon, and the Cheshire yeomarry, 200 strong, arrived about half-pant two in the afternoon. The former, we are sorry to say, were severely pelted with stones in the neighbourhood of the New Cross. The police went up to that place about the same time, for the purpose of attempting to take into custody Rome of the fellows who were levying contributions, but having no military with him, Mr. Lavender, who had only six assistants, found it impossible to interfere. PUBLIC MEETING. TO RAM ♦ erIISCRIPTION FOR TUC RELIEF OF Tin DM TRESSED MANUFACTURERS IN LANCASHIRE. In the course of Saturday, a Requisition was presented to the Lord Mayor, to convene a Public Meeting to raise a Subscription tor the Relief of the Poor Weavers of Blackburn, and the other suffering Poor of the Manufacturing classes in Lancashire. His Lotdship at once gladly assented: and, upon a consultation with the Requisitionists, fixed upon Thursday As the most convenient day on which to convene it. In the course of the afternoon, how. ever, from the accounts officially received of the increased urgency of the distress, and the desperate condition to which the poor were reduced. his Lordship has been induced to postpone the Court of Aldermen, which was announced for Tuesday, and has determined to hold the Meeting for the subscription on that day. The Requisi tionists were some of the most respectable men in the City, and a number of Noblemen and Gentlemen from the West End of the town have communicated with his Lordship on the subject, and in. thirsted their intention to make exertions proportionate to the great urgency and increasing extent of the suffering. The alteration of the time of meeting was determined upon by his Lordship at half. past 10 o'clock at night, the accounts upon which the ,atep was taken havirg been received very late in the evening. MESSRS. IitIRSTAND ROBINSON'S COMMISSION. Saturday the first Meeting of the bankrupt'', Thomas Hurst, John Hurst, and Joseph Ogle Robinson, took place to r're the Commissioners, Messrs. Montague, Meggison, Edison; &c., at the Court, Basinghall-street. The business of the day was chiefly confined to receiving proofs of debts, but we believe the extent of the proofs did not exceed 50 000/., though the liabilities of the se. veral estates amount to 500,000/. The following debts were proved :..-Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., of Berkeley.square, 20.5251., on a bond, and interest. 31e.sts. T. and J. Felthem, 1.1n51.; Mr. Clay.
