RIOT AT MACCLASFIALD.

[From Thr Cheater Courant.]

The Magistrates .r the borough, anxious for the
fate of Manchester, and apprehending that she
known loyally of thi. pl ice was a sufficient onartuitee
fur its trairgri Ility, had riot ohjecied, and indeed
we see out hove they could have obj-cied, to the
march of the battalion of regulars quartered here ;
Cirtliniqiillee which left U 4 Without other military
force than ut corporal's guard of isifiriory. I lence au
opportunity uttered it-elf to the mischievous faction
we have unsung us fur creating a slut ; its opportunity
whtch,withc iderahle urgers uily, they turned to the
very hest account. During the foreriomi of l'ueriday,
and even until sunset. not the slightest offenstre de-
monstration was. made ; rouse ruwuur indeed arose of j
an intruded meeting, but hostility was riot suspect-
ed, owl therefore, the special constables were not
marshalled, nor had any reartlezvous been appoint•
ed for them up to the hour of eight ; when the
noisy and turbulent lieformers, with a trail) of
j hisciples, began to thickets arid deepen In that
market-place. Just usi the verge of darkiiew% it

Mayor and Jilegistratty, therefore, who had been on

their dwellings; au slisir„ which of course, occupied
some time, and left the !term mers air interval for
the perpetration of a part of their malicious de•igus.
Exactly at right, greatly, we fear, to the discredit
of the general good character of this town, a mull
of not fewer than 700 into and bop, took their
stand with loud shouting and vehement threads,
immediately epposite The ( ourier ()Mee, and the
dischis•ge of some ruiithile at intervals through the
wirirlows, gave note of the gathering storm; when
1 the lloyor and Xligistrates, with a few constables
in attendance, left the Void for the. Guildhall,

Much to the credit of two spirited individuals,
Messrs. Obadiah Tuoinicliffe and l•aac LOllllO.
of this town, whose horses were immediately at
hand. they volunteered at this crisis to attack the
riotous; to couple of swords were procoreil, and they
rushed into the throng at the moment when the vil-
lain*. having. quitted the Hotel from some alarm of
an attack, were breaking tile windows of Mr. 'Fuss-
nicloffe. Alit gh one Griotlemma was for as too-
went unhorsed hi the ousel, • lit cries of "

in les* than three minutes; and how Ilse special
coostalsks headed by the iMagistrscy, still, how-
ever, tint exceeding 30 in number, sallied forth with
bludgeons, and an additional force of horse to the
spot. From this period the riot became a route,
the auto' of the assailants was turned to their
Own surety, and while stouts and brick-lama flew
about like hail, wounding and bruising mimosa every
man of she Speetal constables, prisoners %ere
tinually brought into the Town-hall and the Hotel,
until the 'lumber of them far exceeded that of the
vitiators themselves. lii faller, within leas than three
quarters of au hour after the turia-ont from the
Hotel, the streets were cleared of their opponents ;
sifter they bad, with must malicious activity, ef-
fected (tannage to the amount of at lest.t 1,000/. ;
more than forty liou.es of respectable iintividuals
nosing received more or less injury during the
bight.
Malice having clone its worst, the triumph of
justice was now to begin. Ate express havilig been
forwarded early in the affray, for milliony aid from
Stockport, the detachment of the 31st, which had
quitted us for that place, returned au early as three
o'clock, with a promptitude that does them infinite
honour; and about nine o'clock on Wriliorsday
morning, while the population of the town were as-
sembled in the streets to view the desolations of the
night, the cheering sound* of the bugle ahlioUUCed
the !approach of our own loyal toonstneto, the Mae.
clesfield squadron oldie Cheshire cavalry, under the
cot 1111 l and of Capt. Daintry, from Masocheider. Pre.
ou their binning is line a truly British salute
of three times three frum their assembled friends
canoed the walls of the market-place to ring again.
Toe Riot Act was then read a second time, the idle
spectators were dispeisecl to their occupations; and
after a mach of twenty miles before bierkftet, our
brave delenders being distnis•ed to quarters, set
dawn, for the first time during three clays and
nights of incessant service, to a comfortable and
hearty rural. And now the Magistrates repaired to
Guildhall to sit in joidgmeut oti the offenders; a
procedure which, Irons the her apprehended,
occupied the greater part of the day. In the con-
duct of many, though every one implicated ha. un-
questionably a character to regain, there appeared
11C. Midi peculiar features of malignity, assn the view
of the Magistrates to demand their ins:mediae eOlll-
- to gaol. Two cases appear to be glaringly
criminal; the delinquents, by name. S sisittrl Ar-
ch rot, n turner, and Ralph Wright, a silk-weittoa,
have sitter been fully committed fur trial.

Pending tins affair, the friends of the men in
cnsmily silently drew together ahuut the steps of
the GuildhAll, and threats were heard of a determi-
nation to complete ou the Werlarsrlsy night the
havoc which had been commenced on the Tues-
day a repolt that isnmediately delermiord the
Magistrates to the most vigorous tool effscove mea-
sures fur osisieetaieritig the public peace. Tile spe-
cial comtablere were assembled, and a plate of
co-operation, seemingly nowt judicious in its
kind, and which, but for the superseding powera
of the %Vatell and Ward Act, would have been
perpetnol, was determined. The csvelry had notice
of parade fur eight o'cluck p.m. mud accordingly
at that I the bugle sounded ; every mall was
instantly a-borer; and whale the constables passed
from home to house, with authority to have all
doors and windows closed and securest, the cavalry
pisiroled the streets and lanes till a late hour of the
night. The measure was decided and effectual ;
our town has ever since beets wholly undisturbed,
by the aid of the civil power alone, our termed de-
fender* having in part roomed to their usual rims-
envious, and the test renwitsed without molestation
in their quarters.
