DISTURBANCE AT THR ASHTON BARRACKS.—A
de nenetration took place at theAsbtos•under-Lyme Barracks,
on Saturday, which at first threatened to end in a collision
between the INS of the 2nd West Norb.lli Militia and the
seen of the 10th Mamas, now stationed there. It same
last the sea of the militia have for some time been ttle-
setielled with the quality of the butchers' meat supplied by
the contractor, John Berwick, of Aehton, and on Saturday,
when the butcher's out got to the barracks with the usual
weakly supply, the men rushed at the cart, threw the whole
of the meat into the barrack yard, and kicked it op and down,
at the same time using Beewick in rather a rough manner.
The Humans were called oat, and any serious outrage pre-
vented, without, we are glad to say, any ill feeling between
the men. Subsequently, Colonel It. 'Wilbraham was tele-
graphed to in Manchester, and be attended at the barracks,
and eddrewed the men, cantioniag them as to their proceed-
top, and promising them all proper redress. We sew some
of the beet, which was certainly of a most inferior quality.

ROBBERIES BT A RAILWAY CLERK.—Patriok
Savage, • well-deemed young man, recently a clerk in the
North-Rasters Railway station at South Shield, Durham,
Tweedronuth, and Gateshead, is in custody of the police of
the Bret-named town, charged with committing a daring
robbery in the railway station, South Shields, on the morning
of the 21st ult. The station is left in the charge of a private
watchman at night, whose duty it ie ales to get up the meant
of the engine that km to take away the government train In

not succeed in doing so. He, however, purloined 21. 8.. Bd.
lett out for the booking clerk to make change, a new watch
that had came Irmo Liverpool by the last train on the pre-
vious night. and 7s. worth of stamps. It is evident that the
robbery bad been committed by some one very familiar with
the premises, and a good deal of suspicion attached to the
, who previous to the robbery had been d inherild
gthe employment of the company, and who had sines
been leading a wild end recklors life. Nothing occurred to
implicate him until Wedneedsy night, when he took a watch
to • men called Jackson to repair. and induced him to lead
him a pound upon it. After &rage left his shop, Jackson
examined the watch, and found from the marke upon it that
It woe the identical watch that had been stolen from the reli-
ve station. He inform...l the police, and Savage was ap-
by Superinitrident Hedincton, se be wee main

diMely seambed, and Ms utriti.mped drat-clams railway tickets
