Now corneas mmt painful and melancholy pact of
our recital ; the itece-sary ardour oldie troops in
discharge ortheir duty hay led, we lament to say, to
some fatal and many very serious accident.. A re.
spectable innkeeper (Mr. Ashworth, of the Sutra
Head), who was officiating as a special constable, W 3.4
rode over and mortally wounded ; another young
man, who is at present unknown, esperienctd the
same fate ; Mr. A. Tilford, innkeeper. has hero
must dangerously hurt; iniot her unfortunate sal.
fence lies dead in the Infirmary; and several are
without hopes of recovery. There are IS in-patients
there (principally from Oldham, Saddleworth,
dleton, &c.) and 32 out-patients; a considerable
number have been taken wounded to their own homes.
A must worthy and respectable young geotleinac.
a member of our yromisniy, is lingering in the it .
tirmary—every moment expected to breathe his
last : during the charge Ite was assailed by a hrit k.
bat, which brought Inin off hi, horse, when he
rode over, and had his skull fractured. The ex-
tent of injuries received is truly heart-rending ;
we fear what we have already stated will prove t,,
be strictly within compost.
The Cheshire yeomanry consist of eight troop,
(600 men), who. with the other forces (the Man-
chester and Salford yeomanry, the hussars, the
31+t and 88th regiments of foot), are indefati-
gable in the execution of their duty. Two pieces
of artillery appeared upon the field, but they were
riot used.

Ott Friday, the following illustrative anecdote
was posted in our streets :
" HUNTS GENUINE BEER.

" Hunt's first appearance in public life was as a public.
Brewer. In Jan. 1507, we find him advertising in the Bris-
tol Gazelle, that he had established a Brewery nt Clifton.
—"The Families of Clifton and Bristol, says he, roe
respectfully informed, that they may uow be supplied
with genuine Table Beer, pruduced from the hest Ma,t
and Hops, and wholly exempt from any other ingre•
died whatever.' lie afterwards offered to make a vs..
titulary affidavit to the same effect. On consulting the
Records of the Court of Exchequer, however, we find
very few months after ibr date of the shove
seventy gallons of other iegred:ents were stiseil from Her, y
Hunt, of ' the Clifton gesialse Brewery, sod were con-
demned, Michaelmas Term, 1807. This awkward little
accident, it seems, gave the Bristol men a sort Id distaste
Mr. Hunt's genuine Beer, and no great relish for his Atfida.
vitt ; and the consequence was, that he shut up his brewer v,
and turned genuine Patriot.
" 1 Never heard such • tale!!! Sure this never can he our
Orator, Henry Hunt. He, good man!! is honestly
lug day and sight to keep uur Constitistisin pure and un-
adulterated. The Brewer was day and night infusing 'mem
into the Conatitrtius of all his fellow-subjects."
