I was upon the shutters. I can't identify th© faces
of any of the ptisoners, because the men who com-
mitted the burglary were covered with handker-
chiefs, and the youngest, who had no handkerchief
over his face, had his back turned to me. The
youngest prisoner seems to be of the same size as
one of the men who stood outside the window, and
the colour of his coat corresponds with that of the
same man. The other men who broke into the house
wore coats of a similar colour and material to those
now worn by the other prisoners. The cap worn
by the youngest of the men who committed the
burglary was similar to the cap now produced. The
prisoners were then remanded.---.l;anchester Ex-

AN ANTICIPATED► RIOT 1N TVOLVE R-
ILAMPTON-7HE MILITARY IN 1111 E 10W N.

Gavazzi lectured last night in Wolverhampton on
Victor Emmanuel, Garibaldi, and the Pope;
Italy, her Present and her Future." Remember-
ing the excesses that have been occasioned in other
towns, and especially in Birkenhead, by Irish mobs,
the mayor and magistrates took steps to ascertain
if there was any reason to expect that such pro-
ceedings would be repeated in Wolverhampton.
They received information to the effect that a riot
might be feared on the part of the Irish; and they
ascertained that the returned convicts at large in
the district were being organised by a ringleader
of their number to avail themselves of the occasion
to make a foray upon the most vulnerable parts of
the town ; and that the respective depots pf the
arms of the volunteer companies in the town would
be sacked.
The mayor and the magistrates, supported by the
leading ratepayers, thereupon determined to take
prompt steps to summarily suppress such violence
if it should be attempted. They forwarded a re-
quest to Birmingham for a troop of Dragoons, in-
structed Captain Thorneycroft to be in readi-
ness with his troop of Yeomanry, and desired the
assistance of Col. Hogg, the chief constable of the
county, and a body of his men, removed the arms of
the volunteers into safe custody, and swore in a
body of special constables to secure the safe keeping
of the arms. Yesterday afternoon the Dragoons
rode into the town ; subsequently a force of 120 of
the county constabulary, headed by Colonel Hogg,
Major M'Knight (the deputy chief constable), and
Chief Superintendent Sweeting, and flanked by
three superintendents, all upon horseback, entered
the town, and were met by the stipendiary of the
district, all mounted. All the constables wore their
sabres, but the weapons were hidden by the long
cloaks which the men wore. Capt. Segrave, the
chief constable of the town, had his own force
ready, and placed them in picquets in different parts
of the town, so that if any attempt should be made
to disturb the peace elsewhere than at the place of
the meeting he might be prepared to quell it.
The promptitude which the Mayor and the ma-
gistracy have displayed has reassured the confidence
which was beginning to waver in the town in anti-
cipation of the night's disturbance ; and, excepting
among certain of the Roman Catholic population,
this promptitude is spoken of with admiration. Up
to 7 o'clock, when our report was despatched, it
was expected that the measures which bad been
taken would secure the preservation of the peace
without any outbreak. With reference to the Irish,
information had been received that they had aban-
doned their intention of creating a disturbance;
and Capt. Segrave had notified to the leader of the
ticket-of-leave men that he was known, and his pro-
ceedings were being watched.

bers of " roughs" assembled, but were kept moving•
