SECOND EDITION.

MANCHESTER RIOTS.

We have received the following by the Electric
Telegnph Company's Express:

MANCHESTER, MARCH 9, 3.30
The disturbance continues unabated, and the mob,
expelled from the districts where they had held their
meeting and commenced their outrages, have
visit.d other parts of the city. They have,
however, been promptly met by the police,
and no vety serious mischief has yet resulted.
At Messrs. Birley:e mill the mob met with the
most resolute oppo3ition, both from the ix lice, and the
operatives employed in that extensive factory, and
were compelled to retire.
A sharp skirmish has just taken place in Black-
fliars-street, near the Exchange, between the rioters
and a strong patty of police, headed by Captain
Willis. The mob, for the time, were effectually
routed. All the shops are temporarily closed.
