RIOTS IN NOTTINGHAM.

CALLING OUT OF THE MILITARY.
(FP.031 A CORRESPONDENT.)
NOTTINGHAM, THURSDAY NIGHT. ..—The state of feeling
here is beyond anything that can possibly he imagined. 'The
old days of violence and bloodshed are again come upon Us, for
the civil force has teen totally unable to quell the disturbances,
and the assistance of the military has been obliged to be ob -
taincd. During Tuesday large parties stf men kept meetiug
and fighting in the most-determined manner, and it was evi-
dent that at night the consequences would be very serious.
The first intimation was the smashing of the _Review Lfiee win-
dows (the Radical paper) by the Tories, one of whom was ar
pt ehended irishe act of throwing a large stick up at the windows.
'fhe windows of the Seven Stars public-house, where a i-
beral Chartist Committee is sitting, were similarly served,
and •the door battered in with immense stones by the
infuriated mob. The Black Horse, Stoney-street, WO
the next point of attack, but here a small party of Liberals keps
the rascals back by dint of sheer hard fighting and storming.
One man was stabbed and very seriously injured. On Wed-
nestle), night the fighting was awful, and the smashing of ""in-
dows terrific. The winds:nes of the Mayor, the White Lion (the
head Liberal hotel), the King's Head, White Swan, Geage
the Fourth (the head Tory hotel), the Shoulder of Mutton, and
other places were riddled, and the police force being dreadfully
beaten wherever they appeared, the Magistrates deemed it their
duty, although an • unpleasant one, at the election time, to call
out the military. The 3d Dragoons from the barracks arrive&
shortly and put a stop to the tumult, or something else the
the le caking of windows was te have been the fate of
Review Office. Many men were apprehended and com-
mitted to prison for throwing . stones and being in
out
riotous assemblages ; and warrants have been taken
against many more. Several have been stabbed in the affrays.
slot
'Most of them received some serious bruises, and some may
survive. Many of the police are maimed for life. The ikla„f
gistrates sat up all night in the police-office, ready in ease
emergency, and the troops patrolled the streets. The Tories
first commenced the riots by tearieg the first flag,than
and break'ing the first pane in the Review-office windows. Mr.
little thought, when he was here two months ago, the idolise
&
of al; the lower classes, that he should so fail in public estinsa-
tion as to have the weaker aide of the two. The canvass is
going on great spirit, and there is not the slightest donbt
that the Libera:
.candidate will be elected. The Tories after
searching London -Dyer .for candidates, have at length l'ite"
on a Mr. Charlton, a small count: y gentleman, a short disci
tance from Nottingham.• The.y. are evidently beaten, and
therefore resort to any species of cowardly malice a party eae
be guilty of. Mr. Walter dare not . show himself froul

George the Fourth. He was hooted and

pelted into his hotel on Wednesday night.
All is quiet now. How soon the flame may light agal
there is no knowing. alany hundreds of pounds' worth

THE PRESTON CHARTISTS.
By the following Address of the' Council-of the Prestos
Chartists, it will be seen that the Chartists of that Borough
have come to the resolution Of making every etibrt to oPci•
pose the Monopolists. We. cannot too highly
this resolution, which. we trust, will be generally follovrt7
by them. The Chartists may. rely.on.it that the T °te"
whatever they may now allege to the contrary forever
tioaeering purposes, are the deadliest enemies they cued
had, or ever could have ; and, once in power, WO'
stir heaven and earth to compass their•utter destructiq•

TO THE ELECTORS
_OF • THE BOROUGH 0r

_ _
PRESTON.
The time has now arrived when we should act with linani
mity, energy, and determination. One of the most numerous I
attended meetings ever held in Preston,- after mature deliheraci
tion, unanimously agreed to supeort Sir H. Fleetwood Ois
Sir 'G. Strickland at the ensuing election—a struggle whic,ilese,
to determine right against might,. and justice against inject",
When many of the brave and patriotic leaders of the peoPi"
are immured in the dreary dungeon, crying aloud to the Pc(s
ple of Preston—yea, to the people of England, Ireland. al
Scotland—to come forward at this important crisis to nobly to
their duty, and return these men to Parliament who will
for their release, and the release of Frost, Williams. weld
Jones. There are now two candidates in the inQ
who have pledged themselves to • assist Sou •in gaii.;
your legitimate right, with. the protection of the
lot, as well as to resist all monopolies that have a tendency
retard free trade. But the brutal, the base faction,- of TOT"
ism are, determined to oppose us, and rob the honest Elect;
tors of the last vestige of their liberties—their votes. But cos
have a duty to perform, and be determined to perform it ;
ourselves, we are determined to expose all these base 0
creants, who will or dare attempt it. We will brand therl#
il
like Cain, with a mark of their infamy, and they shall behe,.t.
Up to the execrations of the world in the public press ;
names shall be recorded as a terror to tyrants and evil d°
end t°
Is it not enough that we labour and faint? that we
poverty and want? that we are almost driven to inadneteZ
hear our children clamour on our bleak hearths for the
and bitter bread that a system of class Lrgislatien has ''"„
posed upon us ? Is it not enough, we ask you, to eado;
these accumulated wrongs ? But to be openly robbed of tly
last remnants of our rights, we will nut, and cannot tcole e
submit to. Already have a few (thank Heaven, they ar,
few), passed their odious decrees, that all the individualse:
their employ must vote for the men whom they "delight to 17-.
nour," without ever consulting the parties employed. Insta.ncri
innumerable have already been reported by individuals wh°te.
not tamely submit to these, atrocities; and having reason
believe the truth of those statements, we hesitate not to infer of
those parties who have been guilty of these diabolical act' .° '
attempted robbery and intimidation, that their names
ajs
known, and we are watching their actions closelv.
it not a notorious fact, that the President of the 'Coo' s
servative Association has made a regular practice,' -,•te.!
on the eve of municieal elections, to give a montrr -;,041
notice to the whole of the electors under his employ, in or he
to intimidate them, that they may be more easily made to suet
mit to his decree? and now, when a dissolution of Parliatnet,
was expected, upwards of sixty persons had their ruont;l
notices duly served. Men employed in some of the mills,
other branches of business, with minds bordering on madr'''' tt
have given information that the dictators have issued their °e•
crees, and have actually remitted their rotes to the Cononittea
of Messrs. Parker and Swainson, without their conga °r I'o
knowledge.
Electors of Preston ! Will you tamely submit to these acre
of injustice and intimidation, and net make an effort to extl;t
cate your:elves ? We hope and expect you have not forgo
the doings of 1830. You then rose in the majesty of rthe
might, broke the shackles of'your, oppressors, and returned
man of your choice. The country-round, from John o'Groatc,
to Land's End, approved of 'your conduct. Medals were strcoe
in commemoration of your achievement. On that 0cca.,%4
you acied'with unanimity. Your employers were astounTis
and knew not how to act, well knowing that their capita'
