to the police-office, for safe keeping. Some portions of
a paters, a pyx cover, &a, ell of silver, were picked up
inside :the chapel, and Mr. Sadler took possession of
them, as well as of various books of prayers which were
lying strewed about. These were lodged in safety at
the police-office. The police arrived in tima to appre-
hend several men in the very act of breaking and de-
stroying furniture in the chapel, and these were appre-
hended and lodged in the lock-ups. With the aid of the
police, quiet was speedily restored, and a considerable
number of men and youths, who were known to have
taken part in some of these riotous proceedings, were
apprehended and conveyed to the Court-house. Many
of these wero severely wounded, and from four o'clock
in the morning till noon, four medical men wore more or
less engaged in dressing their wounds and hurts. These
were Dr. Rayner, M.D.; Mr. Walters. surgeon; Mr.
Rigby, house surgeon at the Stockport Infirmary; and
Mr. Brooks, surgeon.
Thus far we have given a semi-official account of the
riotous proceedings of the night, from information
which was most readily communicated to us by Mr.
Sadler and soma of the officers under his control. But
as the police force was generally too late to come np
with the rioters while their reckless acts of destruction
were being committed, we have endeavoursed to ascer-
tain from other sources how the proceedings arose.
Great confusion prevails, both as to the order of events,
and the time of any particular attack; but wo believe
the following to have been the order in which the events
occurred. After the police had dispersed the mob in
the Hillgate, the Irish, in a tolerably compact body, re-
treated towards Rock•row, the lower end of which opens
upon St. Peter's-square. At the corner of Rock-row
and the square stands a large house, the residence of
Mr. Graham, surgeon, who, we believe, has in some way
incurred the hatred of the Roman Catholics. They
assailed this house with volleys of stones and brick-
bats, smashed most of the lower windows, and the ser-
vant man received a severe wound in the forehead from
a stone. In this attack, the next house, belonging to
Mr. White's factory, also suffered considerable injury in
the lower windows. The mob then turned their attack
upon the Sunday-school connected with St. James's
Church, which stands opposite to Mr. Graham's house,
lon the other side of the square, and they had broken
some of the windows in the building, when they were
overtaken by the English, who attacked and drove them
up Rock-row, and then seem to have proceeded in reta-
liation to Edgeley, gutted the Roman Catholic chapel
and priest's house there, and thence to St. Mi-
chael's Catholic chapel in the Park, which they
also sacked, as already stated. Here the more serious
outrages to property seem to have been stayed; but
fights between small bodies of both factions continued
for some hours afterwards. In these fights one life
has been taken, and it is not improbable that other
very severe injuries may terminate fatally. Between
11 and 12 o'clock a party of police succeeded in cap-
turing a stout athletic young Irishman, whose name is
said to be Darby Searle, about 24 or 25 years of age,
who was said to have wounded three or four mon with
a pitchfork. When apprehended, however, he had re-
ceived a severe fracture of the skull and other injuries,
and as he was evidently dying he was removed from the
other prisoners and placed in a room below the Court-
house, where he expired about a quarter before two
o'clock this (Wednesday) morning.
It was atter midnight before the disturbance was
quelled.
The following is one of the sad casualties reported to
us as having oceurredduringth eevening:— A man named Jas, Ogden,
printer, was charged
by
adr to assist the a block
constables in preserving the
peaMcer, . Sadler
and was for some time on duty•wtth others pro-
tecting the Mersey Inn from a riotous attack. Returning
thence, he heard a great noise down an entry in Mrs.
Walker's Square, Back Brook-street. Ho ran down
the entry, and found a number of Irish and others fight-
ing in a low cellar. He entered it, but was immediately
assailed with stones, kicks, &c. Finding himself in
danger, he attempted to escape, and laying hold of the
door for that purpose, some one behind struck at his
hand with a sickle or reaping-hook, and completely
severed from his right hand the whole of the fore finger.
The poor man went direct to the Stockport Infirmary,
where his hand was dressed, and he then returned to the
cellar, which he found deserted, and, looking about, he
picked up his finger, where it had fallen behind the door.
He is in great distress, as he told us it was the very
finger he most required in his trade, and he was afraid he
could work no more. To add to his sufferings, he is a
married man, with a family of six children, and his wife
will shortly again be confined; and so much was he
afraid of the effect upon her, that at first ho dared not
acquaint her with what had befallen him. We trust
this case will have the benevolent consideration of all
the well-disposed.
THE C3IIRT-HOUSE, YESTERDAY.
..

The Stockport Court-house presented an extraordi-
nary scene yesterday morning. During the night it had
been converted into a prison hospital, and at one end,
were penned up about 108 ruffilialy looking fellows, up-
wards of 60 of whom were suffering from wounds re-
ceived in the riot or in their encounters with the police
when taken into custody. One with a dislocated shoulder
was yelling under the manipulation of a surgeon, and
another was shrieking under the pain of handling a dis-
located ankle; others were writhing, moaning, and bleed-
ing; and as the surgeons moved to and fro amongst them
dressing their wounds, tile place presented a singular
picture. The man who had been killed was in the cellar
underneath the Court-house; his name was Darby Searle,
aged 24, and his wounds were a fractured skull and a cut
on the head 4 inches long.

THE MARIONETTES.—There is no foundation for
the report that a distinguished member of this company is
about to contest the representation of Lincoln at the ap-
proaching election. Nevertheless, Mr. Albany Brown would
prove at least as efficient a senator as the present Honourable
and Gallant Member for Great Tom.

Mr. G. V. BEooKE.—This English tragedian
lately hired the Astor Place Opera House, New York, for
dramatic performances. Finding that the "legitimate"
an
did not succeed, he introduced a troupe of monkeys,
whereupon an injunction against him was issued by
the proprietors of the house. Thus far the mono
tkeys
have triumphed, having appeared one night
enraptured audience. The move for an injunction
is not yet decided. The New York Herald thinks
the monkeys ought to win, and says—,, We do not think
that there exists any reasonable ground of complaint against
their performances, particularly in view of the fact that the
owners of the Astor-place Opera-house have lately let it out
t,, a juggler, for the exhibition of tricks of legerdemain, the
manufacture of hasty pudding) in tho bottom of gentlemen's
hats; and the production of hens' eggs ad libitunz, with other
classic performances.
DODGING THE RESPONSIBILTY.—" Sir! ' said Fiery-
faces, the lawyer, to an unwilling witness. " Sir, do you
say, upon your oath, that Blimpkins is a dishonest man ?' "I
didn't say he was ever"locu ?al of being an honest man, did
I?" replied Pipkins. Dtß's the Court understand you to
say, Mr. Pipkins, that the, i laintiff's reputation is bad?" in-
uired the Judge, mer
q e`Y i I utt ng the question to keep his
' -
eyes open. " I didn ts• tiJ It was good, I reckon." " Sir,"
said Fieryfaces, "ssir, upon your oath—mind, upon your
oath - you say that Blimpkins is a rogue, a villain, and a
thief?" " You say so," ww- Pip's reply. " Havn't you said
so ?" " Why, You're said it," sa'd Pipkins, "what's the use
of my repeating it r "Sir-r!" thundered Fieryfaces, " I
charge you upon your oath, do you or do you not say Blimp-
kind stole things?" " No, sir," was the cautious reply of
Pipkins," I never said Blimpkins stole things, but I do sayer
he's got
. a way of finding things that nobody lost !" " Sir,*
; Oa Loryfacee, "yell cma retire;" and the Mixt adlorned.
