RIOTS AT TVIGAN.

Our readers will remember that, a few days since,. we
gave h parat,taph referring to the probability of a riot at
Wigan, in consequence of the Baron de' Gamin persevering
to lecture in the Public Hall of that place, and, as had been
anticipated,on Wednesday, the evening on which a lecture
was announced to be delivered,- a fearful .riot took place.
About eight o'clock, a body of Irishmen, 100 strong, was
seen running down King-street, yelling- and hooting, and
armed with large stones and heavy—bludgeons: These
attacked the assembly at the- outer- door of. the • Hall,
and for a moment carried all before them. This was ,only
temporarily, as, perceiving the police. advancing up Rodney-
street, the attacked party, principally composed of Orange-
men and colliers, charged their. opponent!, and after a general
Melee, in Which stones flew thickly, and 1D11)Wli50 bludgeons,
and in some instances knives were brandished, the Irish
were seen in full retreat up King-street, folloWed by showers
of missiles of all descriptions. The police at this moment
arrived in front of the hall, and the Riot Act was at once
read by the deputy mayor. Numbers were perceived after
the contest with bleeding heads and complaining of other
injuries, but none appeared severely hurt. The baron's ad-
dress in the hall was in his usual style ; he was loudly and
frequently hpplauded. • The lecture was brought •to a close
by the 'magistrates sending a note to the chairman informing
the Baron that the lecture must be concluded before dark.
Before the lecture had terminated, it seems, the body of
Irish who had been repulsed in, their first attacks, having
received ad, f _ _

editions .rom the Barrack-yard, Wallgate,
organised near the market place, and entered Rodney-street
to attack the persons congregated round the public hall.
Near the, meeting-house another conflict took place' of a
very serious nature ; for, in addition to' the weapon carried
by each man, the small stones lying upon the macadamised
road proved hardy missiles; and were greatly made use of.
Scarcely a window in the place of worship was left un-
broken. Some possessed pieces of wire rope, at the end of
each of which a large lump of lead was affixed, with a
smaller one at the- other end, to enable its owner to grasp it
firmly. When the lecture was concluded, the parties who
had till now assisted the 'police constables, determined on
retaliating upon the Irish, and a body several hundred
strong marched up King-street to the Wallgate, and then
proceeded as far as Adelaide-street, where numbers of

Irishmen reside. The' mob then attacked both the back
and front of the residences at the lower end of Adelaide-
street, and, having speedily accomplished their purpose,
the street was left, and St. Patrick's Chapel was next
attacked, as well as the dwelling of the Rev. H. M'Cormick.
The mob now, gradually increased, and St. Catherine's
Church and School then had some of the windows broken;
but a body of police now soon scattered the mob over the
adjacent fields.
The Baron de Camin again lectured in the Wigan Hall,
on Thursday evening, on " Auricular Confession." The
audience was numerous, and composed of Orangemen and
colliers, who vociferously applauded the Baron's remarks.
To enforce the Baron's right of lecturing, a large bodT of
colliers conoregated around the Hall early in the evening.
However, shortly before the doors were opened, they agreed
to promenade the town, which they did, and passed through
the principal streets. At the residence of the Rev. W. T.
Whitehead, that gentleman was londly called for, and when
he appeared he recommended the people to return to their
homes quietly. This request was not complied with, but
the mob re-entered the town, about 400 strong, at the
entrance to the Barrack Yard, in the Wallgate, and in which
reside great numbers of Irish. It was not long before a

) was made up the yard, but it was gallantly resisted
by a mere handful of boys and girls, who had obtained
great numbers of heavy paving stones. These they showered
upon their assailants, and repulsed them. This charge was
repeated several times, but without, effect ; and.the colliers,
finding it impossible to carry the plUce in this manner, des-
patched a body round by, the Xillgate to Elbow-lane (from

can be obtained over a wall),
). order to take the beseiged in their rear. The body of

Irish, who had for nearly twenty minutes held tout
against a mob six= times their number, when thus
attacked on -both sides, were compelled to retreat, leaving
the place to the mercy of the. colliers, who rapidly
filled the yard, and proceeded to visit every one of the
fifty houses contained in it. A most disgraceful scene then
ensued. Ever window 'and every door was demolished ;

the little-Ttirint lire-possessed by the poor, and,: in most
instances, totally nnoffending inhabitants, were shivered to
fragments ; articles of crockery were destroyed

and even

the paper hangings were torn from the walls.- Provisions,
bedsteads, bedding, -and clothing of
.all dekriptions were
hurled through the. windows. The provisions were thrown
into the air, and soon trampled underfoot ; the bedding
was ripped open and scattered over the, yard ; the bedsteadS
were broken to_ pieces, to provide weapons for those inade-

y supplied; and the clothes were torn to fragments,
Several of the houses were actually set on fire, with the
hope of razing the whole range of buildings to the ground;

Tlie male inhabitants had managed to escape over the wall
which separates the yard from Elbow-lane ; but-the women
and children, unable to depart, were compelled to remain,
and see their houses made desolate. Fortunately, the mob
confined their 'attack to property, leaving the residents
unhurt, except in one or two instances. The borough police
force, however, soon arrived, and succeeded in putting out
the flames, and the mob quickly passed-down the Wallgate
to Princess-street, where they entered a narrow court, and
carried on a similar work of destruction. The police were
again sharply on the heelS 'of the rioters, and the Riot Act
having been read .a number of personi Were apprehended,
and the others shortly after dispersed.
On the first night about twenty persons were arrested, `so
that nearly fOrty persons are now in custody on the charge

of rioting,

Right Hon. Sir H. G. Hayter, M.P., by the independent
liberal members of the House of Commons, on his retirement

And the next two stanzas explain how the poet courted
the girl, who, it appears, wore a check apron. But the
denouement is sad :--

And I stuck to her' like teasel.

HoLLowAY's • PILLS FOR INDIGESTION, STOMACH AND
LIVER. COMPLAINTS.— Persons suffering from any derange-
ment of the liver, stomach, or the organs of digestion, should
have recourse to Holloway's Pills. Their peculiar pro.-
perties strengthen the tone of the stomach, increase the
appetite, and, purify the liver. In bowel complaints they
are' peculiarly efficacious, as they remove primary causes,
and restore the patient to sound health and strength.
Nervous or sick headaches, and lowness of spirits, are cured
by these pills. They are composed of rare balsams, and
powerful as they are in the prevention or cure of disease,
their action is peculiarly safe and gentle.
EXTRAORDINARY AND USEFUL INVENTION.—There is
nothing that housetvives complain of with greater truthful-
ness,•than the breaking of some favourite, piece of glass,:
valuable china, or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such
things cannot be matched, and of course cannat, be mended.
The latter want has been obviated by, an extraordinary and
effective invention, by Mr. Adshead, of Derby Pottery, near
Derby. It is a cement that may be said to heal in a per-
feet manner, all cracks and breaks in the articlesspoken of ,
and not only in these, but in marble, alabaster, &c. The
benefit of this article need not be dwelt on. We have seen
some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, our neighbour's, and the
glass that has been cemented by.it is stronger in that part
than in any other. The article is very cheap, and no house
can be long without it. Mr. Hall is the agent for its sale
in Liverpool, and all interested can judge for themselves by
looking in at his establishment. Agent for Liverpool, E.
T. Hall, 23, South John-street.. Sold in bottles,, is each,
er-sent free on receipt of sixteen postage stamps. N.B.—
