Pl 4 ". of the Relief Bill s but it is the ouly one.— (Lau g h ter.)--The resea u • tam says, " we must ever hear in mind how much the great cause of religious freedom owes to many illustrious persons, both living and dead, w ho have l en t t h eir powerful aid to its advancement." jhis included many individuals whom it was not the ob ect of to-day's meeting more particularly to commemorate. We had to think, however, not only of the illustrious d ead, who welcomed the spirit of civil and religious liberty at a time when but very few welcomed it,—like the nymph Whom we would praise, and still fewer love : to them first were we to direct our attention,—next to the efforts of that.great political party which could have no more il lustrious representative than the Venerable Nobleman now Presiding.—(Cheering.) —We ought never to forget those distinguished persons who, by the toil of years, by the sacrifice of popularity, by abandoning power and place in ! t heir consistent support of this question, brought the cause I to the situation in which the Duke of Wellington found 1 't•--(Hear, hear.)—Next oar thanks were due to the Noble Duke, that great and admirable man, and to his no lima admirable colleague, Mr. Peel, who, in his sacrifice of seifvand by abandoning preconceived opinions, had shown nis superiority t o narrow pre j u di ces, ac hi eve d a v i ctory O yer himself, and afforded an instance of rare moral cou rage and high-mindedness in our days.—(Cheering.) Mr. J. CORBY seconded the motion. Mr. HUNT did not rise to oppose the motion, hut wished to call attention to one name among those of the living, Which it was somewhat extraordinary did not occur in these resolutions. Ile meant the name of the Marquis of ith enees--.(Hear.)--If there was any one man in parti cular to whom the people of Ireland were principally in debted for the success of the measure of relief, in his humble opinion it was to that Noble Lord.—(Cheers.) — This was the conclusion at which he had arrived, after reading the official correspondence recently published. • The Resolution was agreed to. Mr. LAWLESS rose to propose the introduction of a Re solution which he felt it to be his duty to offer to the con ald•ration of the meeting, although it was not included in those fixed upon by the Committee. First, however, he would take this opportunity to express his disbelief of the stories circulated about the King's reluctance to assent to Catholic Emancipation: He had been a witness of his Majesty's kindliness of conduct in Ireland, and he knew it to be the fact, that the Sovereign's sentiments, as expressed at his own private table, were the same as those that were 110 W generally entertained at what he might call the great social table of the Empire. We owed a debt of gratitude to the Marquis of Anglesea,—one of the greatest, best, and most generous soldiers that ever lived,—one who rapped loudly at the door of the Constitution in our behalf, until he broke it open and admitted the people.—(llear.) Let us associate his name with that of our other benefac tors, and have an illustrious triumvirate in the persons of the Duke of Wellington, Mr. Peel, and the Marquis of Anglesea.—(Cheers.)—He would move— " That the gratitude of this Meeting, representing as it does the feelings of the Irish people, is hereby offered to the Most Noble the Marquis of Anglesea, for his impartial administration of the Government of Ireland, and that We feel it a duty we owe to that distinguished soldier to acknowledge, that to his ardent sensibility to the griev 400es of Ireland, and to his zealous remonstrances on behalf of the Irish nation, the splendid results now en joyed are greatly to be attributed." Mr. HUNT seconded the motion. Some embarrassment was occasioned by the proposition, and a pause took place in the proceedings. The Cnstastast addressed a few words to the Meeting, Which, owing to the feeble tone in which the Noble Earl spoke, were not audible at the distance of three yards from the Chair. Mr. J. GRATTAN believed the Noble Lord had not been heard by the Meeting. The Noble Chairman appeared to think the motion irrelevant, and that we should go on with the resolutions prepared by the Committee. Several persons said Mr. Lawless's resolution had been regularly move d an d seconded, and could not n ow be got rid of otherwise than by adopting or rejecting it. Mr. LAWLESS-4 have originated a resolution which must sink deep into the heart of every man who heard it. After a further pause and consultation among the Mem bers of the Comniittee, The Earl of DARNLET said it might perhaps be worthy of consideration how far the difficulty felt and expressed by th e Noble Chairman on the subject of the proposed resolu tion ought to weigh with the meeting. He had no hesita tion in saying, for one, that if the question were put on the resolution, he would not only vote for it, but support It with the utmost cordiality. But for the judicious and 'partial administration of the Marquis of Anglesea in Ire land, he (Lord Darnley) did riot believe we should have met to-day for our present object. The only question was whether the meeting would defer to the scruples of the chair, or insist upon having the resolution put. (Loud cries to put the resolution.) The Earl of BECTIVE concurred in every respect in the sentiments expressed by the Noble Earl who had just sat down. The Hon. Mr. CLIFFORD said he had declined being in the committee, but be thought they had adopted the more judicious course in omitting a resolution such as that now proposed by Mr. Lawless, against which he should hold up his hand. Mr. O'CONNELL could not sit silent on this occasion; he would not be an Irishman if he did ; he did not ap prove' of a departure from the order of the meeting, but he could not help approving of the generous ardour of his friend Mr. Lawless, in not permitting the day to pass over without an attempt to obtain an acknowledgment of the great services conferred upon Ireland by the Marquis of Anglesea. The Hon. Gentleman, after eulogising the conduct of the Noble Marquis in his Irish government, sliced, was his name to be passed over without acknowledg ment ? The Marquis of Anglesea had shown himself a friend to Ireland when it was dangerous to be so—it became the Catholics to thank him..(Cheers.) The conduct of the Roman Catholics since the victory which they had obtained, not over, but with their Protestant fellow-sub jects, had nothing in it of asperity, triumphant insolence, or acrimony. Who prepared them for that ?—the Mar quis of Anglesea. He knew the state of public feeling in Ireland when the noble Lord arrived in that country, and he felt it his duty now to declare that the aptitude to re ceive emancipation as it . had been received by the Catho lieg--- their readiness to confide iu the Government and •tinite in harmony . with their Protestant countrymen— nxilltioated with the M arqu i s o f A ng l esea. (H ear .) Th e ar is's name had been mentioned. Should it be told to. ln°Frove that a vote of th an k s was re f use d t o him? re 9 e ll l, and cries of " No, no.") T here might be differ :flees.. of opi n i on an d di sagreements b etween t h e no bl e itfarquis and other distinguished statesmen ; it was not Oil (Mr. O'Connell's) wish to aggravate them, but the Present motion stood on its own grounds. Lord Anglesea's sh cnn _ d Oet_ o . Monday last in not pressing for a division "eel his own desire for conciliation. He trusted such a reconciliation might take place between the noble Mar quis and the Duke of Wellington as would enable the latter to send back the 'Marquis of Anglesea as Viceroy to Ireland. (Cheers.) He owed it to the Marquis of Anglesea to say, he (Mr. O'Connell) abandoned public meetings for ever if they could do any thing so ungrateful as refuse the vote of thanks now proposed. Mr. Wrsx was of opinion that the meeting should settle this opportuity o f th an ki n g Lord Anglesea; and that .;" Duke of Wellington, so far from censuring or being " i 'Pleaied at their conduct in this respect, would take it " the surest test of their real gratitude to himself, and their desire to conciliate existing differences. The SECRETARY said, no language could do justice to what he individually knew of the Marquis of Anglesea's high deserts. He now, however, wished to state what had come officially to his knowledge. The resolutions agreed Upon were sent by the Committee to every Member of the Houses of Lords and Commons, without distinction. Those who had voted for Catholic Emancipation were in vited to add their names to the Committee—those who v oted differently were not asked to do so, from a feeling of delicacy. Lord Anglesea was among the number to whom the invitation was conveyed, and he sent Colonel Cosset to me, to say, that if the Committee thought that in delicacy he should be a member of their body, he would become so. In all events he was determined to be a sub scriber to the proposed statue.--(Cheers.)—This speaks voham es for the character of the Marquis of Anglesea. The Resolution was then put and agreed to unanimously, amidst much cheering. Mr. J. GRATTAN pronounced a warm panegyric on the A dministration of the Marquis of Anglesea. The Hon. Gentleman moved the following resolution : I‘ That, in order to perpetuate to the remotest genera tions these feelings of just acknowledgment, and at the game time to record, that religious freedom was won by the same great Captain who restored national independence to E"eoPe, and give security to this Empire, ' a voluntary subscription be now entered into for the purpose of erect ing, in or near Dublin, a statue of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, commemorative of this the most glorious of his public servicee.'" Mr. SOLLY FLOOD seconded the motion. Mr. STEELE proposed to omit the words " tha t reli g ious freedo m was won by the same great Captain who restored national i n d epen d ence to E urope, an d gave security to this • empire." The amendment having been seconded by Mr. MI NT, who digressed from the question into a discussion on tithes, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 7, 1829. LATEST NEWS FROM MANCHESTER. The riots at Manchester and the surrounding dis tricts absorb public attention in such a degree, at the present moment, as to throw the disorders in Spital fields into the shade. In another part of our Paper we have given very full particulars of what took place in Manchester up to Tuesday night, and we here insert the communication of a very intelligent correspondent, dated yesterday morning, up to the period of the mail's departure : "MANCHESTER, MAY 6, " NINE O'CLOCK, WEDNESDAY MORNING. '6 We are quiet this morning, but not settled. The mob last night attempted to set fire to a factory belonging to the Messrs. PARKERS, and near to the one they burnt on Monday belonging to the same individuals. Slighter acts of violence occurred dur ing the night, but the military and police were on the alert, and prevented further mischief. " The disturbance is not confined to Manchester, but to a certain degree pervades all the surrounding towns. These regard Manchester as the great focus by which all their operations are regulated. " By advices from Rochdale the mob has been very active in that place, and one report even goes so far as to affirm that four people were shot by the military. " Expresses for more troops arrived here from Burnley, Blackburn, and even from Preston. " This looks very alarming, as it shows that a previous concert and system of acting had been determined on by the rioters, for the disturb ance extends throughout the manufacturing districts. However, the Magistrates have been prompt to meet it here, and they do not apprehend much vio lence hereafter, as the town is now reinforced by the arrival of fresh troops, and more are hourly expected." We have only space merely to direct attention to a report of the very interesting proceedings which took place yesterday at the London Tavern, with reference to a subscription for erecting a Statue in honour of the Duke of WELLINGTON. The Meeting was most splendid. The news in the French Papers from Odessa only serve to confirm all our previous information respect- ing the activity which prevails for opening the can.. paig,n.

CITY, TWELVE 0 1 CLOCK; Accounts have been received at Liverpool that a very destructive fire bad taken place at Augusta, Georgia, which consumed upwards of 200 houses and stores. In political or foreign intelligence this is a complete blank day, but the information received from the manufacturing districts, particularly the vicinity of Manchester, is pain fully interesting, and it is with great regret we observe that the disturbances have settled into a system of highway robbery of the most wanton description. In the English Funds there appears but little doing. Con sols have been 87i nearly all the morning; at one time, however, they were near 871, but with no symptom indi cative of a material change until after to-morrow evening, when the Chancellor of the Exchequer opens his Budget. India Bonds, 50 2 pm. ; Exchequer Bills, 68 9 pm. The Foreign Funds have had little or no business trans acted in them ; Brazilian Bonds and Portuguese are rather lower, the former having been done at 53, and the latter at 444; Danish, 65 ; and Russian, 95i 6. In Shares there is no alteration. The following informs tion has been stated to us, relative to the new Silk Regu lation Bill to be read to-day, and if it is correct, of which we have little doubt, it is very important :—it is said the duty on China piece goods of silk was 10s. per lb., which operated as a duty of about 30 per cent. ad valorum. By the new Bill it is altered to 18s. per lb., which will operate nearly double, and amounts to a total prohibition of this clause in the Act. The principal importers had no intimation till last night. TWO O'CLOCK. The only variation in the Consol Market is SI -a for Money, and 871 buyers, for Account; Four per Cents. 1826, 1021 ; India Stock is lower, 223 224 ;in Exalt. quer Bills nothing doing.

Last night about 19 additional crimes of this kind were committed, making the whole of the looms so destroyed amount to nearly 100. The master manufacturers had a long Meeting last night, at which the return to the book prices principally was discussed, and the result was, that a communication was made, at nine o'clock last night, to the Committee of the Weavers, that if a deputation of 12 weavers were se lected from the body of weavers, 12 manufacturers would have an interview on the part of the trade with them. The Committee of the Weavers met this morning, at eight o'clock, at the Crown and Cushion, Waterloo New Town, and, up to a late hour, had not decided what course to pursue. _ There nre numerous Meetings of the hands, at different places, this afternoon ; and, as it is understood that 12 of the manufacturers have agreed to return to the book prices, a sanguine expectation is indulged that when the Meeting between the trade and the delegates takes place, some amicable arrangement will be come to. The immediate cause of the late proceedings was an at tempt on the part of the manufacturing houses further to decrease the wages of the men. One establishment is giving out 80 yards of three singles, stating that 1/. o n l y would be paid for weaving, being at the rate of 3d. p e r yard, and which would take the weaver three weeks to com plete. Trade in Spitalfields is completely at a stand. There were no buyers in the market yesterday, and none of the manufacturers will give out silk. The result of the Meeting with the masters is anxiously looked for. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) HAY MARKETS.—(At per Load of 3 Trusses.) ST. JAMES'S.

It is generally said, at the 'West end of the town, that his MAJESTY will hold a second drawing-room during the present season, and will also give a ball to the Nobi:ity, i❑ addition to the usual one for the juvenile branches. OVERTURNING OF THE TAUNTON FLY Vwx.—About four o'clock this morning Messrs. WAL LINGTON and Co.'s fly van, while proceeding through the Strand, from Taunton, heavily laden with luggage, to the Castle Inn, Aldersgate-street, was overturned opposite The San Newspaper Office, which accident nearly proved fatal to the coachman and another individual. It having been found necessary to open the ground in the middle of the road to get at the sewer, a hole was dug to the depth of between four and five feet, and about as many wide,which the coachman endeavoured to pass—when, in consequence of the vehicle being loaded at the top to a considerable height with fiats of butter, &c. it immediately upset, pre cipitating the coachman into the excavation, in which a ma❑ was at the tine employed. The watchmen and several other persons instantly rendered assistance, but it was solely in consequence of the harness not immediately admitting the haunches of the horse reaching quite to the bottom of the hole that they were enabled to extricate them selves Irons their perilous situation, and from being crushed to death, though not before the coachman had received a kick on the hip from the horse, and the man employed in he hole hatl•been cut on the side of temple, but fortunately neither were much injured. The guard was also thrown from his seat, but was not hurt. One hour had elapsed before the poor animal could be forced out of the hole. It was several times in contemplation to kill it, so hopeless was the probability of extricating it. The van was shortly cleared of its contents, and properly adjusted, though very much damaged. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. • The House sat on Sc(itch Appeals to-day. The LORD CirANGELLon, the Marquis of HASTINGS, Earl of CHICHESTER, and Lord HOWARD, were the PosTB in attendance. a. , and tookoeca.sion to complain of the Irish being taxed to pay two priests, Mr. O'Com N tt.r. ~ppo-ed th e anima ttent, and supported the original resoloihm, ws did Mr. Ls v. - Less ; and the question was put, and the original res.oution ag:erd Mr. O'GORMAN MA:tot4 begged leave to int' rduce the following resolution, not in the hat of those proposed in the Committee : " That as it is impossible to enumerate the names of all the preyed friends of civil and religious liberty, the Com mittee is hereby instructed to record on the pedestal of the statue the names at least of those illustrious me❑ who, in either House of Parliament, have at different periods moved and seconded the measure of Catholic emancipation, which has now passed into a law under the benignant auspices of his Majesty." The motion was seconded by Mr. WYSE, and agreed to. Mr. J. CORKY moved " That copies of the foregoing resolutions be forwarded to the Duke of Wellington, the First Lord of the Treasury ; Right Hon. Henry Goulburn, the Chancellor of the Ex chequer ; Lord Lyndhurst, the Lord Chancellor of Eng. land ; Ezrl Bathurst, the Lord Privy Seal ; Right Hon. Robert Peel, Earl of Aberdeen, Right Hon. Sir G.

Herries, the Master of the Mint ; Lord Ellenborough, the President of the Board of Control; Right Hon. W. V. Fitzgerald, the President of the Board of Trade ; the Marquis of Anglesea." Lord DUNALLY seconded the resolution.—Agreed to. Lieutenant-General THORNTON proposed " That the Committee be empowered to receive sub scriptions, and that they be requested to open accounts for that purpose with such of the principal banks of the United Kingdom as are willing to co-operate with them." The Hon. Mr. PoNsosny seconded the resolution, and it was agreed to. Mr. O'CONNELL proposed the next resolution, and pre faced it with a speech, for the insertion of which we regret we have not space. The resolution is as follows " That the thanks of this Meeting are eminently due, and are hereby given, to the noblemen and gentlemen who signed the Irish Protestant declaration, arid who, as friends of Ireland as well as of civil and religious freedom, took part in the Meeting at the Rotunda in Dublin, on the 20th of January last ; and we do congratulate them, col lectively and individually, en the successful termination of their exertions, which so eminently contributed to care}► the great measure by which religious peace has been given to this empire, and more especially to Ireland." The resolution was seconded by the Rev. ARTHUR WADE, D.D., Vicar of St. Nicholas, Warwick, and carried unanimously. On the motion of the Rev. Mr. KEATING, seconded by Mr. J. WRIGHT, a Committee was appointed to carry the foregoing resolutions into effect. Earl FITZWILLIAM having left the Chair, and the Duke of LEINSTER having been called thereto, it was, upon the motion of Lord Srouterort, seconded by Mr. O'CONNELL, resolved, unanimously,— " That the thanks of this Meeting are especially due, and hereby given to Earl Fitzwilliam, for his dignified and impartial conduct in the Chair this day, and for his uniform zeal in support of the principle of civil and religious liberty." The Meeting then adjourned. BOROUGH OF EAST RETFORD. LIST OF THE MINORITY FOR CITING MEXIBBRS TO THE TOWN OF BIRMINGHAM, ON MR.

Mr. PEMBERTON applied in this case, with the consent of all parties, to have it postponed till after Easter Term. He also particularly wished to have a day named, as it would be necessary for Mr. Rothschild to produce his books in Court. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said the case might be post poned till after term, and it could be re-entered again for the purpose of appointing a day. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. LORD DALHOUSIE V. CHAPMAN. This action was sued before Lord Tenterden on Monday last, and a verdict returned for the defendant. The plain tiff is Colonel of the 26th Regiment, and had empowered a Mr. Gordon, to receive the money for the Regiment's clothing; &c. and pay it to the clothiers. Gordon assigned this power to the defendant, who is partner in the bank ing-house of Berries, Farquhar, and Co., and upwards of 5,000/. had been received by Mr. Chapman, and not paid to the clothiers. The latter brought an action against Lord Dalhousie for the amount of six half yearly bills for clothing, &c. He brought this action against the de fendant, and failed as above stated. Mr. GURNEY now moved for a rule nisi to set aside the verdict, and obtain a new trial, on the ground of misdi rection on the part of the Learned Judge, contending that the money was received by Chapman (after Gordon had became bankrupt) for a specific purpose which he had not The Court refused the rule, as there was no proof of the goods having been delivered by the clothiers. The point would be raised by their action against Lord Dalhousie. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Mr. Sergeant MEREWEATHER applied to the Court for a rule to show cause why the verdict in the case of a po licy of insurance effected in the Atlas Office, should not be set aside, and a new trial granted under the following circumstances:— The action was at the last assizes for the county of So merset. The plaintiff had effected a policy of insurance on the life of a person named House, who resided at War minster, and who, having married a lady of fortune, re moved to Bath, where he became addicted to habits of continual intoxication. To remedy these habits he was occasionally sent to his friends at Warminster, and they starved him into temperance, and then returned him to Bath, and to his old habits of drunkenness. The consequence of this was, that at Bath his life was not worth a month's purchase, while at Warminster he was just such a life as an insurance-office would like to lay hold of. While at Warminster the policy was effected, and subsequently he died at Bath indulging to the last in his usual habits of intemperance. The point at issue was this. When House was applied to he said that a physician named Vickery was in the habit of attending him, which was not true, though Mr. Vickery did subsequently see and certify him to be a good life. The question now was, whether the misrepresentation of House could vitiate the claim of the plaintiff, who was not proved to be cognizant of such misrepresentation. The COURT granted a rule to show cause. SPORTING.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) NEWMARKET.—WEDNESDAY NIGHT. The following is the latest statement of the odds : KING'S PLATE (THURSDAY).

After the destruction of Mes,N. Parkers' factory on Monday aftereo m, there were no further attempts upon any others. Up to a very bite hour the party of Dragoons continued to parade the streets. They ciuld not, how ever, disperse the crowds of people esseteb!ed at the corner of almost every street leading into Ancoats•street, and after dark scarcely any person having a good coat on his back was allowed to pass without molestation ; smite were pushed from one side to the other—others were pelted with piect s of the webs, which had beers taken from the looms and trampled in the dirt, and several, we believe, suffered in pocket as well as in person, though we have not heard of any that were robbed of a very considerable amount. Between ten and eleven o'clock the numbers began gradually to decrease, and by half-past twelve o'clock the streets were almost as deserted as they usually are at that hour. The masters of most of the factories, spinning as well as weaving, kept parties of men, armed with so re implements as were to be had, during the whole of the night watching the premises, and it was feared these pre cautions were not taken unnecessarily. On Tuesday morning, 'up to nine o'clock, all was as quiet as usual, save here and there a little knot of fellows, at the corners of the streets, leading to Ancoats. By a constant accession of numbers, a great mob was assembled by ten o'clock, and they first, after completely emptying a bread-cart which was passing, proceeded along Ancoats lane, calling at the bakers'-shops, and from thc most pru dent of them receiving a few loaves, from some four or five, from others eight or ten. With a few loaves the mob were quite satisfied, and proceeded with their levying con tributions, in this manner, along Oldham-street, until they came to the shop of a baker, of the name of Hogarth, who refused to give them any, and, brandishing a knife, declared his determination to defend his property. This was the signal for a volley of stones, and its half a minute the windows of his dwelling-house, over his shap, were shattered to pieces; his shop door was broken in, and it was not till nearly all the bread in his house was distri buted amongst them, that they were appeased. It was now eleven o'clock, and no check whatever had been put upon the snob. Shortly afterwards a party of the Dra goon Guards arrived at the spot ; but too late to take any of the rioters into custody. The Guards continued to parade along Oldham-street and Ancoats-street, in vain attempting to disperse the multitudes that lined the streets, by galloping along the pavement, and into the narrow streets. They did not effect their purpose, but they succeeeed in preventing any other depredations there. While they were thus occupied, a party of the snob began to levy contributions in Piccadilly and Bank Top, in the same manner as they had been previously doing, only calling at every house, and receiving not only bread, but what would purchase it. The Guards were brought from Ancoats-street to Bank Top, and paraded backward and forward ; but as soon as they bad passed a few yards, the solicitations for bread were renewed, and as all the resi dents threw something or other, eatables or money, from the upper windows, the doors and under windows being all closed, there was not the slightest damage done to any of the houses. The mob thus proceeded to the upper end of Bank Top (about half a mile), where they were met by a body of the Ardwick Police and special constables, artred with cutlasses, and these, by a determined and indiscrimi nate attack upon the first of the mob, succeeded in pre venting their progress into the Ardwick district ; but their success had only the effect of turning the mob into other streets. In the meantime, the part of the mob left in An coats-street were making the most" of their time by pro ceeding in an opposite direction levying contributions, and occasionally all but emptying some of the provision shops of their contents. One baker fired several shots of blank cartridges from his windows, hut the only effect would have been a complete demolition of his premises, had not the police and a party of the Coldetreans Guards come op portunely to his assistance. I❑ this way did the mob proceed from ten o'clock till three. As soon AS the mili tary went to one place, the mob commenced at another, and so great was the fear of them, that most of the shops, even in comparatively distant parts of the town, were shut, the owners not knowing how soon they might have a visit; all business was at a stand. The only object of the mob during the whole of Tues day seemed to be to satisfy their hunger. No attempt what ever was made to destroy any factory or to molest the workpeople in them, as had been done on the previous day. It was indeed melancholy to see with what avidity they grasped at the loaves which were given to them, and with what care they picked up out of the mud up , m the street the smallest fragments which fell in the struggle to obtain a part of the bread. The miserable emaciated coun tenances of many of them showed distinctly enough that their eagerness was not without cause. At one shop where they called twice, the shopkeeper addressed them on tha in justice of corning twice to him in one day, and begged that they would not, by spoiling him to day, disable him from relieving them to-morrow. The address had the desired effect, and the man's loaves were spared. I think it unnecessary to give the names of the sufferers on this occasion, or to attempt a description of each indi vidual attack. I deem it sufficient to state, that a line of shops extending a mile one way, crossed by another line extending half a mile, with all the shorter streets lying be tween their extremities, were at the mercy of the mob for the greater part of the day. The question is now, what will be attempted next ? The men are obviously reckless, and one may hear, as one goes along the street, the open expression of their senti ments. I heard two women in discussion opposite the baker's shop which had been emptied This is not reet, Mary," said one ; " this poor man may be as badly off as ourselves, and I say it was not reet to take his bread."—" Its 'no use talking so," replied the other; " are the men to let their bairns die for want of bread ? What's the use asking who it belongs to when they mun have it ?" At New Cross, the very centre of the dis affected district, the scene at one time showed the preva lent feeling very strongly. A person of the name of Fletcher had fired a pistol from his window. The mob in return broke his windows. The police-officers, with a recruiting-officer, came to his aid, and the yelling and the execrations of the mob when driven off were absolutely terrific. Had the beadles or soldiers been unfortunate enough to hurt any of the mob, 1 am convinced that every one of the party would have been destroyed, fur the excita tion needed but such an event to lead to bloodshed. There have been twenty-five persons in all taken into custody, lent the charges against them are, of course, not yet known, and if they have only been pointed out to the Police, which is the case with several of them, their ex amination will, most probably, be put off for some days, in order to give the parties who pointed them out an op . portunity of coming forward to identify them. TUESDAY NIGHT, HALF-PAST EIGHT. Since three o'clock there has not been any plundering ; but the crowds still remain in the streets, and the parties of the Dragoon Guards and the Coldstream Guards, with a party of the police, and numbers of special constables, contieue to parade in every direction. A notice was post ed in the streets in the afternoon, in which the borough reeve and constables requested " respectable persons" to proceed to the Town-hall, aad be swora in special consta bles-0 aid in preventing these calamitous riots, The following notice, by the Magistrates of the division, is just now being posted up in the town : " PUBLIC NO fICE AND CAUTION. " NEW BAILEY COURT-HOUSE, STH MAY, 1529. " Whereas the most daring Riots have existed in the Town of Manchester during Monday, the 4th day of May instant, and the same have been continued almost without intermission, and do still prevail to an alarming and dan gerous extent, and the most atrocious acts of violence and destruction have been committed agsinst the persons and property of individuals, Notice is hereby given, that, for the immediate suppression of these unlawful and auclaeions procedings, the Magistrates acting for this Division have foun I it necessary to resort to the moat determined mea sures that may be by law; and, in order to guard all par ties from the consequences which may result from their being concerned in any of the practices aforesa'd, the Ma gistrates hereby caution the inhabitants of Manchester, as much as possible, to keep out of the public streets, and, they earnestly recommend to all persons now assembled in the streets to depart peacehly to their hornee i . " RALPH WRIGHT, " JNO. 1?. FOSTER. " JAMES NORRIS, " JOHN GREAVES." In addition to the above particulars, we learn that the Telegraph coach, on its way from Manchester through Stockportlwas impeded, on leaving the latter town, by an immense number of rioters, v..1a0 opened the doors of the coach and dem4racled a.roney of the passengus, ANOTHER ACCOUNT. TUESDAY MORNING, EIGHT O'CLOCK. The night has passed away in quietness ; it has Wen cold and wet, and the morning is the same. he streets ate pretty free from crowds, and every thing indicates that the storm has spent its fury, and is, for the present, ex hausted. TEN O'CLOCK, Ancoats.street, Oldham-road, and Swan-street, are again filled with people. They have, for the last hour, been begging bread at the bakers' shops. At Mr. Lee's they got all they asked for, and he contrived to get his shutters up, and his doors closed ; but Mr. Johnson, a little nearer New Cross, was not so fortunate, I went into his place, and Wag CO:lyming with him. Several men and women were in the shop, to whom lie was serving out bread as fast as he could cot it; the number ia:cau , ' greater, the solicitations more earnest, until they assun ed the tone of demand. " Give me one," said a voung lad ; —a brown loaf was handed to him. " That's a shame," said a tall pale woman, in a blue cloak anti black The lad, who really appeared a — w l a ' n d t n o e f v f e o r ot t ! a , k i e m t t h t a i t rc ! ;07 bonnet—" that's a under his jacket, and went away. A loaf of similar qua lity was offered to a woman, who had hem clamorous. " I'll mit have that," sire said, " give us as n•cod as w, used to buy from you--as good as we used to get for nymey? we have no money now, but we must have bread;" then, heaving a sigh, she continued,. " ...11v hus band has been out of work 16 weeks, and we cannot Bern no longer." A general rush into ti , e shop r MAY tote!: Bacon, bread, every thing that was eat 1 1 ) 10 prat, . ~ was in a few minutes carried away. They came in like hungry wolves to a carcass, nod, when all was swept Oil, they began to rob each other. The girls, were robbed Irs' the voting men, and they screamed, struggled, and foug:,t, like furies, with their hair around their bosoms, and their caps',.rent into shreds. The boys were ai,ain robbed by the more powerful men, and the scene was one of the inosa awful and pitiable description. All the slips in the im mediate neighbourhood have participated, lucre or lets, in similar losses. The mob appear wild and ravenous., and as ungovernable as the vast main. The men are sweirim, the women clamorous for food for their children, awl the boys and girls take every thing they wish to eat. • ELF.VEN O'CLOCK. The constables, suported by a &tat:lnvent of tliv stream Guards, have now arrived at the scene of LetiOD ; the former are stationed at the top of Shude-hill, the fatter under the piazza in the New Markel - . The mul) have attacked the bread-shop of Mr. Sykes, in St. George's. road. Mr. Sykes fired a blank shot through th window, and immediately his premises were broken and all his shop-stuff carried away. Another portion of the inch took the route by New Islington, levying coima butions at the public-houses, shops, and the dwellings of respectable people. Another body went down Shod;-hilt in a similar manner, and penetrated to HatOng-ilitch rod Long Mill-gate. All the thieves in the town are now in requisition, and it is said, they have even commenced their operations in Salford, and that like outrages ate tieing there perpetrated. In fact, the upper parts of the -(own are overawed, and some of the lower and more southern districts are infested by bands of plunderers. The public houses are closed, and the shops shut up in the greatest part of the town. TNVELVE O'CLOCK Mr. Foster, the Magistrate, escorted by a sin ll p srty of the sixth Cirahineers, has come to the ground, awl tl:p Riot Act has been read. None of the rioters have hiptt taken to-day. The soldiers are now clearing the street,. TWO O'C LOC K. The contributions are still carried on by small partie4 detached from the great mob in Swan and Ancoat-streets. None of the rioters have been taken to-lay. Aiwut o'clock a cart-load of bread was seized and appro; , ri tted by the mob at New Cross. The shop of Mr. Viet,lier, bread-baker and grocer, is now surrounded. lie iii inst fired a blank discharge from his chamber window. Tllo constables—armed with cutlasses and pistols, and sup ported by a recruiting party—are advancing and scourin,cr the streets ; the day is dark and cold, with heavy soaking rain ; the market is bad, people are spiritless, and seriouu. ness isdepicted in every countenance. FOUR A.M. Mr. Foster, the Magistrate, and a party of Drag-ming, are now proceeding towards New Cross, the neigh)) hood of which is still crowded with an immense nml A number of prisoners have been secured, and cnnreyed to the New Bailey. FIVE O'CLOCK. Multitudes still crowd Ancoats-street, Swan-street, and Oldham-road. The shops and public-houses are closed. The mob have separated, and are now acting in detach ments. One has visited Faulkner-street, another Deani gate, and they have actually made their appearance in St. Ann's-square. Those wbo are now marauding appear to be chiefly young thieves, with a liberal mixture of woolen and a few men of mature age. Their plan is to go and ash for relief, which, .if they do not obtain peaceably, they demand, and receive that from fear, which they could not obtain from charity. Nineteen prisoners have been taken, and are now in the New Bailey. The whole town is in a state of alarm, and the fallowing hand-bill is posted on the walls:— PUBLIC NOTICE.—SPECIAL CONSTABLES. The Magistrates, and the Boroughreeve and Constables. most earnestly desire that all the tespectable inhibitants oL the town and neighbourhood will apply at the Town-hall, this evening, as early as possible, in order to be sworn in as Special Constables, and to co-operate with the Civil and Military Power in the preservation of the public peace. For the accommodation of such persons as may not be able to attend at the Town-hall this evening, one of the Magistrates will be in attendance to-morrow morning, at nine o'clock. Tuesday, May 5. HALE-PAST SEVEN. The mob left Ancoats-street and the adjoining passages, and collected at the manufactory of a Mr. Parker (cousin to the other Messrs. Parker), situate in New Town. This place they attacked with atones, and were about setting tire to it, but the dragoons arrived and prevented them, by dispersing them in all directions. 1 have not yet beard of any person receiving an injury. Mr. Foster, Mr. La vender, and the civil and military power, are now parading Swan-street. The upper part of the town is in a com, plete tumult, and what seems strange, the bells of the Col. legiate Church are ringing a merry peal, as if to persuade people, contrary to the evidence of their senses, that " nothing is amiss." The fuilowing hand-bill is now exhibited on the walls : THE RIOT ACT. Public notice is hereby given that it is not necessary to read the Riot Act before dispersing a meeting engaged in any open act of violence, or in any illegal purpose what ever. Town hall, 5 p.m. Tuesday, May 5. Another is in the; press, informing the inhabitants 0.-, a t the Riot Act has been read, and that, if more tha.P. twelve remain assembled, they will be guilty of felony. o'cr.orr. No alteration since my last date—Pibe streets are still crowded, and the Authorities on the alert. Baron BuLow, the Prussian Minister, had a long interview with the Earl of ABERDEEN yesterday, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. M. BERMUDEZ, the Spanish Minister, transacted bus;ness with the Earl of ABERDEEN yesterday.

Sir EVAN MACGREGOR was present at the King's Levee and Drawing Room. His MAJESTY has been graciously pleased to make inquiries respecting the Prince DE Pout: x.‘t.'s health, which, we are happy to say, is much improved.
