Yesterday forenoon, at ten o'clock, a Coroner's In-
quest was holden at the Hope, Field-lane, Battle-bridge, on
view of the body of Wm. Newman, aged eleven years. It ap-
peared from the evidence that on Sunday morning last he went
out alone to fish in the Regent's Canal, near Battle-bridge.
He was never seen alive after leaving his father's home in Pa-
radise-street. As he was supposed to be drowned, his body
was searched for in a basin by the side of a wharf on Monday,
and was found there. In the opinion of the person who found
him he fell in while endeavouring to pass a projecting angle of
a brick wall which separated one wharf from another. Verdict
—Accidental death.

Upwards of thirty rioters from Stoke-on-Trent
(where damage to the amount of 2,0001. has been done) are
lodged in Stafford gaol. They were mostly non-electors of
Hanley and Lane-end, and had secured themselves in the
new churchyard at Shelton, and broke the grave-stones for
stones to throw at the yeomanry cavalry, which stones diffe-
rent women picked up in theie. aprons and sent back again to
them. One troop of cavalry came 63 miles by a forced march,
and arrived by eleven o'clock at night, when they had orders
to muster at five o'clock in the morning. The cavalry were
sent to this dangerous post without either pistols or powder,
and many were severely wounded with stones.
