Meeting on Monday last. The pressure must have
been immense on the range of boom called Wind.
mill..street. The wooden and iron railings in front
of the houses were broken, and the • people were
piled by hundreds in the cellars. The inhabitants
did not open their doors, but received some of their
friends, who called out for mercy, through their
windows or the broken panels of their doors. They ,
all describe the conduct of the yeomanry as Wks-
tire of wanton and unmitigated barbarity. The
account which they rivers! the sceue, like the Daßee
of Death, had something in it ludicrously horrid.
The living heaps " adventuring resurrection;" the
grotesque attitudes of some of the fallen; the quaa.
tiny of shoes, hats. bonnets, sticks, and batons,
strewed on the ground, garnished here and there
with a silk banner and a cap of liberty, presented a
scene of disorder and dismay, which, when contrasted
with the previous bright array and triumphant shouts
of Reform, must him excited laughter, had it not
been connected so closely with human suffering and
violence. The Goddess of Liberthe large fat woman.
more like a bacchaiial than a divinity. was exposed
in a way by which 6, honour," us Hudibras says,
was more wounded than her carcass. She lay some
time for dead, and then was carried a prisoner to a
house in the neighbourhood. where she tried to bribe
the servant with a 6d. to get her a " glass of gin."
After being at the scene of action, I proceeded to
the Infirmary, to inquire after the number of killed
and wounded. There are only fire dead :—Whit-
worth. of Hyde. who was shot in the riot at seven
o'clock on Monday evening; Ashworth, constable,
who was killed on the field; a man named Ashton,
who was crushed to death by the crowd ; a woman
from Eccles, who was smothered, as I have de-
scribed; and a child who died from fright. I have
seen to.day the constable* funeral. He was s re-
spectable man, and the procession was respectably at-
tended. li'llitworth. who was a great Reformer, died
this morningin the Infirmary. lie was wounded in the
back of the head. He bad some lucid intervals and
was heard to pray fervently. There are 29 patients
now in the Infirmary, 3 I being brought in. There are
30 out-patieists. Huline, the yeoman, who was
struck on the head with a brick, and thrown from
his horse, is likely to recover, though at first his case
was regarded as desperate.
To-day at twelve o'clock a great crowd attended
at the New Bailey, with the hope of hearing the
examination of Hunt. The Bench of Magistrates
was full. Sir J. Byng was present. Mr. Norris, the
stipendiary Chairman, ordered the state prisoners
(ns they most now be called) to be brought up,
Hunt was brought first to the bar. I observed
no change upon him. He walked with a firm step,
and assumed an undaunted and resolute. though
not an insolent, manner. His features. which are
always feeble, seemed inure than usual to wear a
smile of constrained composure nod self-satisfaction.
He looked boldly round. Mr. Norris addressed
him to this eflict :--" Henry Hunt, the prosecutors
are perfectly prepared to go into evidence iii sup-
port of the charges upon which you were appre-
lit-tided. lint other evidence has come before the
Nlagisirates of the highest importance, and they
i have deemed it their duty to lay the whole body of
; it before the Law Officers of the Crown, to advise
upon it. The Magistrates, whose organ I am, have
therefore unanimously deemed it their duty to re-
I mend you Nom a charge of high treason."
Hunt —" I presume I am not allowed to say any
1 thing?"
I The Beiwh—c, No.ss
He then was going down, but returned, and said,
I beg to state one word : I ion perfectly innocent
1 of the charge, and ready to meet it."—Having done
f so, lie bowed and retired.
1 Joseph Johnsou was brought up. He appeared
much agitated. Mr. Norris addressed him in the
same words as to Hulot. Johnson said nothing, but
I bowed, and retired.
Joins Thacker Saxton was brought up. He bow-
-1 ed slightly. After Mr. Norris had addressed him
as he slid the others, Saxton said, .1 Ain I to con-
sider myself committed on that charge ?"
Mr. Norris—', You are detained on that charge ;
not finally committed."
i John Knight was the :text. Ile said nothing,
but was addressed ;is the others.

Mr. Norris had remanded him 011 the charge of

i:lose to him, and said, .6 I premium its my hut you
mean, and not we—l am ready to meet the charge."

The town of Manchester remains quiet, but the
otst-districts, extending as far as Saddleworth, are
still in a state of agitation, and training, to a very
serious extent, not only has been practised, but is
still practised; and the existence of such training
does not depend upon the assertion of a single indi-
vidual, but upon the affidavits made by ninny per-
sons from different parts of this neighbourhood;
and each of those affidavits, taken at a different
time, and without any one person knowing that an-
other had done so, yet sill agreeing with, and coo.
firming nch other.
( Extracts fro= Wheeler's Manchester Chronicle.)
Early in the morning the various responsible
Authorities were on the alert. The Magistrates,
the Boroughreeves, and Constables of Manches-
ter and Salford, an immense body of Special
Constables, many of them men of the first con-
sideration, and the various force of military and
artillery were in motion fur their appointed duties.
The latter consisted of our own yeomanry cavalry,
under Major Trafford ; the Prince Regent's Cheshire
yeomanry cavalry. under Lieut.-Colonel Townsend;
the Istli hussar*, from the barracks, under Lieut.-
Colonel Dalrymple; a detachment of the 38th foot,
now stationed in the King-street barracks, under
Colonel *Gregor ; some pieces of royal horse
artillery. odder Major Dyneley ; and a detachment
of the 91st foot, under Lieut.-Colonel L'Estrange,
the able, intelligent, and active offieer who com-
manded the whole, and made all the necessary ar-
rangements for the occasion.
At a quarter past one, a very large procession ad-
vanced from Deansgste, headed by an open car-
riage, with a woman in front, who bore and bran-
dished a flag with an inscription. In the car were
five persons, one of whom gave a signal for a gene-
ral shout on approaching the hustings. Of these
parties were Mr. Hunt, Knight, Johnson, and Moor-
house, who immediately mounted the hustings.
Amongst the numerous flags were the Stockport,
Oldham, Middleton, Royton, Rochdale, Ashton.
and Soldleworth Union Flag*. That from the
last-mentioned place was BLACK, with large tassels
of the same colour the inscription, in white cha-
racters, was, " Taration without representation is
unjust and tyrannical: Saddkworth, Lees, and
Missky Union'--ou the reverse "Unite and le
free ! Equal Representation or Death !"—Several
persons had already addressed the assemblage et
different times from the partly-formed hustings, de-
siring them " to form in close order round the
busitogs, and to lock their arms fast together, in or-
der to prevent their enemies from penetrating
amongst them." After this another cart arrived
with 'thanks of timber, and more regular hustings
were formed. A woman also eshiliited a deal boat it,
with the words " Order ! Order I" painted noon it.

Hunt was immediately called to the Cli.iir,
addressed the Meeting iu the words we have :Arcady
published.
He wit+ proceeding to mike some reference.; to
the Magistrate*, when the [Manchester and Saliord
'cum:tory cavalry suddenly appeared on the ground.
and formed in line before the house in which the
Magistrates were placed. Hunt turuinl to John-
son and said, " The_re'a a treat for you." lie then
said to the people, " Stand firm, toy frielois : vou
see they are in disorder already ; give thew direr
cheers ;" at the same tune taking off his ha!, and
waving it above his bend. The cheer. were
.tautly returned by the cavalry and the whole the
peace officers, the former brandishing th :r Faints
whikt huzzaing.
. .

A short etniauhation now took place ;imongtt the
Justices, and they imineiliatelt. i•iued a wt;; Ind
against Hunt, JOlllll.Oll, Knight. and Mot.
Mr. Nadia), the deputy-constable of Manchester,
was appointed to execute it. The Rit.t Act had been
twice read once by the Rev. Mr. Ethelston, nod
once by Julie Silvester, L•srq. The lebellious ve-
lure ol• tier 'netting, its numbers, and threatening
aspect, the warlike insignia displayed, the erricr of
march and military arrangement, many of the
Reformers having shoulde►ed large sticks at.d
bludgeons as repiesentaiive of muskets, coupled
with the deyositions un oath of very many re-
spectable inhabitants as to the consequences that
t in their opinion nnavoidably flow to tors
and property bum such en utrmeurr metten,f,
assembled under such influences; and the Md..
gisktrattee' wets view of the whole ol• this err-
' ignitions acene—rendered it imperative to in-
terfere. Mr. Nadi'', therefore, took the warrant. •
attended by a host of special constables. Mr. •

he checked his horse so sodded, that they
both frU together. A mats had also dabbed hint
in the back wide a sharp inosrumetit, sod whilst in
this deplorable date • a fellow wish a club wire
about refinish him, when • foot soldier helmet-
ed the villain, who sprang high from the earth
and fell down dead. Another yeomaisrparian sties
unhealed at the mine momeut, sad his life with
great difficulty saved. This was near the Quakers'
Meeting-hosse, where a furious battle raged. la Oho
bury-ground there, many persona committed mae-
derous work from the enclosed walls, till the guiles
were burst open by • private soldier with the ban-
end of his musket. Many ionticeut spectators had
abut been there during the whole of the day, as a
place of security. At length it was weeesturily
cleared by force; End one of our yeomanry
leaped his horse over the wall after • Re-
former who had been particularly active. This
man, it is believed, paid a severs penalty far
his desperate conduct. To the front of thew
premises • considerable quantity of timber erns
laid, which unfortunately sheltered the refrac-
tory from direct approach. LW a single shut kas
fired by any of lie military, although teary wee
fired epos several times by the Wormers and their
abettors.
A scene of confusion and terror now existed
which defies description. The multitude pressed
one another down, and in many parts they lay iu
muses, piled body upon body. The cries and
mingled shouts, with the gallopping of the horses,
were shocking. Lieutenant-Colonel L'Edraisge,
the Commander of the troops, received a tremen-
dous blow on the forehead from a brick. which fur
a moment deprived him of sense, and he had nearly
fallen from his horse. Many of the most respeci.
able gentlemen of the town were thrown dorm,
ridden, over, and trampled upon. One special coo-
stable, Mr. Ashworth. of the Bull's head, in 11.1
Market-place, was killed dead on the spot. Au-
other, Mr. Petty, was borne home. laid on a
door, by four men, dreadfully hurt. Majo6Gene-
ral Clay, assisting the civil power in his privat.!
dress of a citizen ; Mr. John Moore, the constable ;
Mr. Charles Rider, of Cullyhurst ; Mr. Thom
Sharp. &c. were all forced to the ground by the
cavalry.
'file whole of this serious affray bided not many
minutes. The ground was cleared as if by magic..
During the first few moments the OREAT delinquent,
the monster in human shape, to whom rill these
evils must be attributed, was dragged by Nsdin and
others to the Magistrates, amidst filo execrations
and hisses of every good subject. Johnson, 11.41
bruslimaker, was brought up at tear saint
knight and Moorhouse escaped. Shortly isco
females, who had come to the Meeting under su.o4
ideal pomp, and with a demeanour the reverse 07
every thing that man delights to see in wows,
were brought forward. One of them Elisabeth
Gaunt, had borne a standard in the carriage of
Nnut; theother was much bruised, having ieceiven
a contusion in the face.

The Rev. Mr. Hay came forward he said he re-
spected the Lelings of tlw good and the loyal. but
as Hunt was now a prisoner, and in the howls of Ilar
law, he hoped that no expression would he give.i
which could etittaitges the than') personal sectitit„
but that they would he satirtird to let turn pass
the New Bailey Prison with their silos, saiieshr.
This address was highly applauded, and Asper's°. t
istiented to; but still, when this destroyer of the isri.o
comfort was Minded out by the broille%
general hiss could not be retitersett. Mr. flay a 1..,
said with much mistilihros, " l will 1,:o iliswo with
the prisoner as II protection to lion. Shan we riot
Lim upon a horse, or place him iii a coacii?"• The
•geiterul cry was, " Nit. ! (limit the brute, let that
walk !" To this the Magistrate assentril. A
auk of troops mid constables was formed, And' fl.r
demi-god was safely lodged 111 la suitable -
tatiott, where be might base " a season for ;flirt -
tom."
