DREADFUL RIOTS AT NOTTINGHAM.

The following is an extract of a letter, written on Tuesday:
evening by a gentleman residing at Nottingham :—" Our town
is in a state of the greatest alarm. On Monday evening there
was a meeting called by the Mayor in the Marketplace, at which
their could not have been . than 20,000 persons present. In
the course of the night there was a dreadful riot, and our old
Castle was set fire to and burnt to the ground. This day Col-
wick Hall, the seat of John. Muster, Esq., has been set fire to
and pillaged, and the extensive silk mills of Messrs. Low have
been set tire to and burnt to the ground. We are now living
under martial law, and are compelled to close our houses by fire
o'clock in the afternoon, and no person is allowed to be in the
streets atter that hour. The races were to have commenced this
day, but in consequence of the state of the town they are put off
till the spring. The whole of the booths and other erections on
the race-course have been torn up and destroyed." -
