THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES.

crowdsontinued to increase in numbers and excitement
until fiTteen minutes past seven, p.m. At this time the
maffistrates were summoned, and a special engine was
ordered to be in readiness to proceed to Preston, and
convey troops from thence. The mayor also wrote an
order for the officer in command at Prest ,n to send a
number of men ; in the meantime the mob proceeded to
break all the windows in front of the Royal Hotel. Two
borough magistrates went into the crowd to reconoitre,
and to reason with the people, and endeavour to induce
them to desist from violence, and, if possible, to get
them to go home ; they were, however, unsuccessful, and
were obliged to retire to the police-office to avoid per-
sonal injury. Immediately after, all the available police
force of the borough, together with a number of special
constables, mustered at the police- office, and the mayor,
accompanied by about thirty police-officers and special
constables, went in front of the Town Hall, with a view
of quelling the disturbance. At this time about a
thousand persons had assembled. As soon as the mayor
and police arrived in front of the Town Hall, an attack
was made upon them by the crowd with stones and
bludgeons ; all the specials made a precipitate retreat,
and the mayor was left surrounded with about five or
six police-officers, out of the thirty who accompanied
him from the police-office. Finding that resistance to
the crowd was useless, the mayor was compelled to retire,
and he immediately proceeded to the railway station,
where he dispatched a messenger by a special engine for
troops to Preston, this was at fifteen minutes past eight
o'clock. At twenty minutes past eight a telegraphic com-
munication was sent to the officer at command in Pres-
ton to send down a body of troops, and one to the sta-
tion master at Preston to have carriages ready to convey
troops from Preston to Wigan. In the meantime, the
rioters proceeded to put out and smash the street lamps, and
break the windows of parties who are obnoxious to them ; this
continued up to about half-past eleven, at which period the troops
arrived from Preston, and the Streets were almost imme-
diately cleared. The military consisted of two
companies of the 34th Regiment, comprising three
officers and 140 rank and file ; it is thought necessary
the troops should remain until the excitement arising
from the present strike shall have subsided. The
police force of the borough consists of one chief consta-
ble, one sergeant, and ten men ; and the population of
the borough is 32,000. Since the present strike has
commenced, the night duty of the police force has been
very heavy, and when the rigt
,commenced yesterday,
the assistance of only half of the men could be obtained
The precaution had been taken to swear in a number of
Special Constables, but when the emergency arose,
they were of no avail as is generally found to he the case
The injury done by the rioters to property is as follows :
MARKET-PLACE.--'The Royal Hotel, the whole of the
windows and doors, as well back as front, are smashed
in, and much of the furniture destroyed, and some of
the liquor taken by force.
WaraaTz.---Clarence Hotel, and the Victoria Hotel,
windows, and window-frames smashed in. Thomas
Tailor, cotton-spinner, both backjand front windows and
window-frames, and shutters of his residence, and stable
broken ; furniture uninjured. Mr. J. Fitzadom, iron
merchant, the same ; back and front windows broken.
Mr. Wright, surgeon, window and window-frames broken.
Treasurer's office, and public health office, and In) and of
guardians' office, all of the windows broken. The mail
cart was stopped and detained also by the rioters in this
street. _ _ _ _ . .

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA.
The BritiSh and North American royal mail
steam-ship Arabia, Captain Judkins, arrived in the
Mersey on Saturday evening, after a passage of
ten days from New York, bringing 94 passengers,
and 1,216,000 dollars in specie.
The steam-ship Atlantic, which sailed hence on
the sth inst., arrived out at New York at noon on
Sunday, the 17th, after a passage of about eleven
days.

By the Arabia we have received our files of
papers,., and private correspondence, to the 19th
inst„ being four days later than those received by
the Baltic on Wednesday. _

The news carried out from this country by the
Baltic had thrown quite a damper on the Ameri-
can Flour Markets, and caused a decline in New
York of from twelve and a half to twenty-five cents.
per barrel. Our private correspondent says—
" Since the sailing of the Baltic we have been put
in possession of the details of the Canada's news,
which has been considered of a less encouraging
tone than the telegraphic despatches. We have
also received three days' later news by the Atlantic,
which is deemed by the corn people still less fa-
vourable. Although the advices indicate an imme-
diate war in the east, the effect of which would
be to stop the receipt of Wheat and Flour
in England and France from the Baltic, and there-
fore make the demand here for export, greater
still ; the market for Flour and Wheat has declined
under this intelligence. On receipt of the Atlantic's
news a considerable business was done in Flour at a
decline of from 124 to 25 cents per barrel. The
panic which prevailed in New York, when our last
advices left, had materially subsided : and the
Stock market was more firm than it had been for
some time, and quotations for nearly every de-
scription of Stock, had an upward tendency.
Money, however, continued scarce, and of course,
dear. The rates demanded ranged from 10 to 18
per cent. The business done in Foreign exchange
for remittance by the Arabia was considerable, the
quotations on London standing firm at 109 to 110.
In the Cotton market there had been no change of
moment. The market was tame and prices barely
supported. There was an active demand for
Provisions, but prices were barely so firm.
The political and domestic news contained in
the advices now to hand, are not important. The
New York Herald of the 18th instant announces,
that its Editor and Proprietor, James Gordon
Bennett, is an applicant for the office of ambassa-
dor to France, but our private correspondent says,
he has little or no chance of obtaining the appoint-
ment. The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times says, the administration have at
last found a man who will go to China, and that
Mr. Robert McLane has been offered the office of
Minister to the Celestial Empire, and will accept
it.

QUEEN STREET.---SiX houses on one side of this
street, and three on the other, all the lower windows
were broken and frames smashed ; all the lamps in this
street were also demolished.
CHAPEL LANE.--- William Johnson, cotton spinner,
windows broken, window-frames, shutters and doors
completely smashed; a great quantity of valuable fur-
niture destroyed, and Mr. Johnson states that an at-

expected, giving the result of his enqiries.

OPENING OF THE SHREWSBURY 64; HEREFORD

RA ILWAY.
(FROM OUfi, OWN REPORTER.)
On Saturday the latter portion of this Railway (from Ludlow
to Hereford, a distance of twenty-three miles) was opened by
the directors, but the line will not be opened for traffic until

You have heard and seen accounts of the dreadful pesti-
lence that has been, and is still, raging in. our midst, and
making desolate and cheerless the homes of many of our
citizens. But " the half has not been told." The disease
has been more severe in this place than it was in New Or-
leans. There was about one in ten—here, at least one in
SCYCII. But it Is, I think, nearly over, and we are anxiously
looking for frost, which generally puts an end to the fever.

The Now Orleans publish advices from Havana
of the ith inst. The cholera was making progress
at Mattnzas. The Gaceta, of Havana, officially
denies tite report that a conspiracy or any signs of
disaffection had been discovered among the troops

The following proclamation had been issued by
the President of the United States :

sometime towards the end of November. At half-past eleven
o'clock in the morning a Special ronsi.ting_ of from

twenty to thirty first class carriages, lett the Shrewsbury Sta-
tion, with a large party. The train made short stoppages
at Church Stretton, Bromfield, Ludlow, and Leominster, at all
of which accessions were received to the party. The train
arrived at Hereford at ten minutes past two o'clock ; several
hundreds of persons were assembled on the Widermarsh, where
the train was stopped and the passengers alighted, but it is some-
what remarkable that though this is the first line of railway
opened into Hereford, not a single cheer escaped the crowd
by way of welcome to the visitors.

At half-past two o'clock about 260 ladies and gentlemen sat
down to a luncheon at the Music Hall, the guests were Mr. W.
Ormsby Gore, M.P., (Chairman of the Board of Directors) who
presided ; Mr Brassey, the Contractor ;- Mr. Robertson, the
Engineer ; Hon. R, H. Clive, M.P., Deputy Chairman ; Sir
Richard Jenkins, A.C.8., The Right Hon. and Rev. Canon
Lord Saige de Seil, Hon. Mr. Peters, lion. E. G. Peters, Mr.
King, M.P., Major W. Ormsby Gore, Mr. George Holyoake,
Dr. Kennedy, of London ; Messrs. Williams and Wardell, of
Chester • The Villagers of Hereford and Ludlow, and Right
Hon. Henry Hill, of Wolverhampton,
After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts had been disposed
of, and also the healths of the " Mayor of Hereford" and the
" Chairman and board of directors of the Shrewsbury and
Hereford Railway,"

The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the health of Mr. Brassey,
the contractor. In doing so he observed that it was now
three years since the company was first formed, and during the
preceding part of that time no doubt the directors were accused
of great negligence of duty, but they had borne out with that,
feeling assured it was necessary to wait until the panic of the
times had passed away. He was quite certain if they had pro-
ceeded for the formation of the railway at that time, they must
have broken down, and, therefore, under those circumstances
patience was the best policy. As soon as the directors saw a
prospect of carrying out the line, they became active, and he
had great pleasure in saying their efforts were most actively
and honorably supported by Mr. Brassey. He had to regret
that although this was the opening of the railway, yet the line
was not is that positive perfect state that he should recommend
its being at present used for general traffic ; he had been in
consultation with the engineer on the subject, and he bad Mr.
Robertson's sanction for saying that cortainly before the end of
November the line would be in perfect order, and fit for
public use. The directors had always thoroughly adhered to
the principle of being perfectly independent of all other rail-
ways, and they were determined to maintain that course, their
line was without junction with any other line, and without ob-
ligation, but they held out the hand of good fellowship to all
neighbouring companies.

PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT

Whereas it is`provided by the second article of the con-
vention of the 16h of June, 1852, between the United
States and Prussiaand other States of the Germanic con-
federation, for the mutual delivery of criminals, fugitives
from justice in certain cases, that the stipulations of that
convention shall be applied to any other State of the Ger-
manic confederation schich might hereafter declare its acces-
sion thereto :
And whereas the Free Hanseatic city of Bremen has de-
clared its accession to the said convention, and the
exchange of the said declaration for my acceptance of the
same was made at Washington on the 14th instant, by
Rudolph Schleiden, Minister resident of the Free Hanseatic
city of Bremen, and William L. Marcy, Secretary of State
of the United States, on behalf of their, respective govern-
meats :

Now, therefore, be it known that I, Franklin Pierce,
President of the United States of America, have caused
this information to be made public, in order that the stipu-
latiom of the said convention may be observed and fulfilled
with good faith in respect to the Free Hanseatic city of
Bremen by the United States and the citizens thereof.

BRAssEY, in returning thanks, expressed his ac-
knowledgments for the great assistance, and also tor the uniform
courtesy he had at all times received from the board of directors.
After alluding to the agreement now pending between the
company and himself, respecting his leasing the time for a
period of nine years, and makin,rsome other observations of a
local character, Mr. Brassey concluded by proposing the " health
of Mr. Robertson, the engineer."
Mr. ROBERTSON acknowledged the compliment, and
after several other toasts had been drank, the company seper-
ated at half-past four.
Shortly before six o'clock the train left Hereferd for Shrews-
bury, at which place it arrived at five minutes past ten, the
delay having been occasioned by the extreme caution necessary
between Hereford and Ludlow, in consequence of the late
heavy rains having disturbed the consolidation of the permanent
way.

In *bless whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and
caused tile seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done it Washington, the fifteenth day of October, in the
year e our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-three,
and of the independence of the United States the seventy-
eighth.

The balifax papers announce the arrival at that
port of tie steamer Vulcan, with three hundred
and fifty toops, a part of whom were intended for
Bermuda, bit in consequence of the yellow fever
raging there,they had been detained at Halifax.
Our priva.t . correspondent at New York, says,
"An associatiin of the Clubmen, in Ireland, of
1848, numberint in this city about forty, held a
private meeting In Monday last, for the purpose
of forming some Ilan for a grand demonstration
on the arrival of rohn Mitchell from Van Die-
man's Land, and whc is expected in this city in a
few days. The meeting, after some discussion,
appointed,a committee 4f five, to draft resolutions,
and report at a subseqtent meeting. The Irish
American military officers of New York, Brooklyn,
Williamsburgh, and Jersey City, have also held a
meeting, to take into consileration the means to
be adopted for Mitchell's reception.

DEATH BY A KICK.—On last evening, a man
named Joseph Ryle came by his death under the following
circumstances :—lt appeared that a person named Hughes
was indebted to Ryle in a small sum, and that the latter
called on the former for the amount due. Some altercation
occurred between the parties, when Hughes drew ont from
Ryle and suddenly kicked him in the stomach. Ryle almost
immediately fell from the blow, and when he was taken up
it was found that life was extinct. An inquest will be held
on the body to-day, awaiting which Hughes is in custod/.

FUNERAL OF A MEMBER OF THE FIRE BRIGADE---
The interment of E. Willan, of the fire brigade, who was
unfortunately drowned on Wednesday morning, whilst
assist►ng to extinguish the fire on board the steam-tug
Dreadnought, took place yesterday at the Necropolis,
Low Hill. The coffin containing the body vas placed
on one of the fire-engines, which was drawn by a pair
of horses, and followed by a mourning-coach containing
the relatives of the deceased. The members of the fire
brigade, and the ordinary police force, to the number
of about 200, followed the body to the place of inter-
ment. Captain Greig, Superintendents Quick and
Ride, and other superior officers of the force, brought
up the rear of the procession.

FLOUR AND MEAL.—The private advices by the Canada
being considered more favorable than the published accounts,
the Flour market opened on Saturday with increased firm-
ness and an active demand for export, home use, and future
delivery ; but on Monday, with the conflicting and rather
unfavorable news by the Atlantic, the pressure in the Money
market, and continued high rates of freight, there was less
buoyanoy, and towards the -close a slight concession was made
by holders, and yesterday there was an excitement bordering
on a panic ; the difficulty in effecting shipments, both to
Europe and the Eastward, induced some holders, particu-
larly speculators, to realize, and much lower prices were
accepted. Our revised notations now stand 12i to 25 cents
lower than on Friday, the market closing heavily. Canada
is inactive, and quotations entirely nominal. In Montreal,
prices are comparatively higher than in this market, which
has a tendency to check any downward tendency—no sales.
The sales of domestic were : on Saturday, 15,0 00 bbls.
Monday, 22,000 ; and yesterday, 18,000. Included in the
above were some 25,000 bbls. common State to arrive, part
within two weeks; at $6,371., and the remainder in Novem-
ber and December at $7 to $7,12i, the latter price before
the arrival of the Atlantic; and 2000 bbls. (yesterday) on
shipboard for Liverpool, $6.75, at 3s. 6d. freight. We

GRAlN—Wheat opened firm on Saturday, with a good de-
mand for prime for export, but subsequently the difficulty
in procuring vessels and the increasing stringency in mone-
tary affairs combined, had a depressing effect, and a consider-
able decline was established. Our quotations now stand
to 8 cents lower than on Friday last, the greatest decline
being on the common qualities—the galec inoludo 41,50)

supply and good demand, is held firmly, with sales of 5400
bushels at 92 to 93 cents, the latter price delivered. Barley
continues scarce and firm, with sales of 2700 bushels at

but with an increased demand the market closes firm, with
an upward tendancy—see quotations. Corn has decreased

the sales are are 76,000 bushels, the market closing heavily

IRON.—Scotch Pig is inactive, and the sales unimportant.
150 tons English common bars sold on terms we did not

PROVISIONS.—The demand for Western pork has been
somewhat restricted by the tightness in the money market,
and the transactions have been moderate for the local trade
at a slight decline. Large orders are understood to have
been received by the late arrivals, which cannot be executed
in consequence of the difficulty in effecting shipments—the
sales include 1275 bbls., the market closing steadily at our
quotations, which show a decline of 64 to 124 cents since
Friday last. Prime mess is inactive, and nominal at $l5,
and clear at $l9. Sour and rusty mess sell in small lots at
$l5 to $15,12k ; sour prime, $8 to $8,50 ; and sour rump,

limited supply and good demand, continues firm, with sales
of 425 bbls., and tes. at 111 to 12 cents for good to prime,
and kegs, in lots, 124 to 13. Butter is in good demand, in
part for export, and prime State is a shade firmer—see
