RIOT IN SHROPSHIRE.

The usually quiet town of Market Drayton
(situate about twelve miles from Nantwichl, in Shropshire,
was the scene of disgraceful prooisedinp on Mondsy
night last. An adjourned meeting of the ratepayets wee
held at the Corbel Arms Hotel, to consider as to the ex-
pediency of adopting the Local Government Act, which
meeting was presided over by Mr. Godwin. and was up-
roarious. After the meeting, crowds of the working clamps
opposed to the adoption of the set congregated in
ws

parts, smelting various parties and Making windo
They were met, however, by a body of polies, end •
regular charge was made, in which many parties woe
severely handled. On Tuesday morning an attack wee made
on the Town Court-house, both rear sad front, and all at
the windows thoroughly smashed in. The cam', Ser.
gesat Smith and Lewis, who were taking shelter inside,
escaped to the dwelling-house of the former, and fearing
wbst might happen barricaded the door with furniture,

stones. About 4 o'clock the mob. to the number of 500, sur-
rounded the house and attempted to make their entrance, hat
by dint of throwing out stones an them, the officers mewed
to defend their position for five hours, when the easenante
retired. The sergeant above-named got out at the beck of
the building and telegraphed to the chief constable at
Shrewsbury, and essistanos was at once promised. A tele-
graph was afto sent to Manchester. and a strong division of
the Regulars, 64th, arrived in Market Drastoti at five
siinutes to two o'clock yesterday morning. At a quarter
past ten a stroog detachment of the Shropshire constabu-
lary also arrived. and with the military marched up into the
town. During the idternoon of Tuesday, the mob assem-
bled at the trains, and avowed their intention of murdering
all the coostables who might arrive. One of the Great
Western Railway eervants, named Lingered, was oat and
injured seriously in the afternoon, became he had gone
down the line to let the constable" out of the nbefore

so hurt, that little hopes are entertained of his recovery.
The presence of the military in the town has comaptelpy,

Commandant Aitchison. The mob in this disgraceful affair
were joined by a large body of railway navvies. Several of
