11It. DISI'LTIMAXCES.

Throughout the whole of yesterday, the streets
and squares were crowded with people, and in
every direction the Military were out, for the
purpose of dispersing the populace wherever they
attempted to form in groupes, the latter invaria-
bl)%yielding with hisses and hootings, but mani-
festing no disposition to resistance. Berkeley-
square, where Lord DARNLEY lives ; Bedford-
sqtlare, the residence of the LORD CHANCELLOR;
I;arlington-street; in which Mr. ROBINSON dwells;
and, in the evening, St. James's-square ; were ali
thronged with Life Guards and Light Horse; and
at Lord CASTLEREAGH'S, and.Aome other houses,
were stationed strong files of Foot Guards. A nu-
merous train of artillery has also been brought
to town ; and the metropolis is now in the most
formidable state of military protection. Regi-
ments of cavalry continued, during the whole of
yesterday, to pproach the metropolis from all.
directions ; and there are at present .not less than
10,000 troops ready to act upon any point at the
shortest notice. During the whole of last night,
great numbers of persons assembled about the
Houses of Parliament, and marked their indigna-
tion by shouting and hissing. whenever a carriage
passed, or a Member of Parliament whose person
happened to be recognised. The military were
stationed where danger was apprehended from
the fury of the crowd. This arrangement was
judicious.

The House of Commons adjourned at nine
o'clock, -hut the crowd remained for a consider-
able time after, though without manifesting much
disposition to riot ; some stones were thrown,
one of which passed, with a violent crash through
a window which looks into'New Palace-yard.
In other parts of the town, hoWever, we are
sorry to say, that the mob proceeded to greater
acts of violence. They mode an attack upon Lord
CASTLEREAGH'S house, but a party of soldiers
which had been stationed in it for its defence,
soddenly issued forth, and put the assailants to
flight. They next repaired to the house of Lord
HAREwoon, the windows of.which they broke.
.They visited Mr. WESTERN'S in Harley-street,
(which was' patriotically designated for attack by
Mr. Sturch), and demolished his windows.—Sir
HENRY PARNELL'S, No. 49, in Baker-street, was
treated in the same way : and we hear that Lord
KING'S experienced a similar fate.—Lord BA.-
THURST'S, in Mansfield-street, also suffered se-
verely.

Lord DARNLEY'S house was again attacked, and
further damage done to it.

Infinitely more mischief would have been done,
but the military patroled so closely at the heels of
the rioters,. that they had not . time to cothplete
their designs in any instance.
The heaviest calamity which attended these
lawless outrages took place in Old Burlingtop-
street, • whither the mob proceeded to take a se-
cond vengeance upon the resideneeof Mr. Roßiti-
sox. Near thespot, however, a partyof Foot Guards
hall been stationed to preserve the remains of the
property of that Gentleman. .They marched tip
and dispersed the crowd , which re-assembled
with as much regularity as a disciplined force.—
A party of cavalry next scoured ,the -street, but
the misguided multitude rallied and. 41tivanced
again to assault the object of their blind fUry. Mere
demonstrations would suffice no longer, and we
regret to say that such resistance was offered from
the inside of the mansion, as to terminate fatally
to two individuals, a naval Officer, and a young
woman, who were killed on the spot. The former
was shot through the head.—lt is further report-
ed, that •several persons -were wounded'in this
afiir.

The immediate dispersion of, the popUlace, suc-
ceeded these melancholy events—the streets were
paraded throughout the night by strong patroles ;
and this morning ail is quiet.
Six troops of the 10th, four of the sth, and
nearly the whole of the 16th Light Dragoons,
besides the 3d Regiment of Guards, Infantry and
Artillery, are now on duty in London. In the
environs, a regular military communication is
kept up by means of a line of mounted dragoons ;
so that an effectual force could be poured in at an
hour's notice, to protect the lives and-properties
of his Majesty's people from these revolutionary
depredations.

, Two persons assembled in the crowd at Palace-
yard yesterday, • invited. the multitude to retire
into :St. James's Park, where they proposed ha-
ranguing their friends upon the true nature of the
Corn Laws! The proposal was instantly accepted,
and a vast collection of people of all descriptions,
followed these volunteer orators, until they reached
an exalted elm, upon the branches of which these
two persons soon mounted. Here they ‘com-
menced a most powerful appeal to the-passions',
as well as the feelings of the mobility, whom
they called upon to rally, and bid defiance to,the
armed force that was collected to overawe them in
the neighbourhooM They had not proceeded far
however in their menacing oration, before a squa-
dron of horse, apprised of the assembly, arrived,
and having put the latter completely to the route,
took the two deserted speakers down from the
tree. and lodged them in the safe custody of the
peace officers.—(M. Chronicle.)

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE FIRST OUTRAGES.

At ATr. Yoake's, in ,Bruton-street, the crowd
again collecting yesterday, and manifested a ri-
otous disposition, calling out " No Corn Bill !"
Mr. YORKE appeared at one of the apertures (for
windows there are none remaining, the frames be-
ing likewise gone), and addressed the populace,
stating '' that his house was his castle, and he
would defend it to the last extremity."
In Berkeley-square, Lord DARNLEY'S house is
nearly in the same ruined state as Mr. YoattE's.
They have both been abandoned by the wbok of

their respective Carpenters wete busily
employed the whole of the morning in blocking
up the doors.

The injury done to the LORD CHANCELLOR'S
house-, •ity-Bedford•square, appears still greater
than that of Lord DARNLEY'S or Mr. YoaKE's.—
The stucco front is completely destroyed,- and the
iron balcony broken or bent downwards. Every
window in front is destroyed. His Lordship,
who either was in bed, or on the point of re-
tiring to it, after seeing out Lady lia.DoN and his
family at the backdoor, into the gardens of the
Britivkinust um-, to which he has long had a pri-
vate-dodey' went to the Museum House, where a
party of Military is al rays stationed, and, brought
with him four of the Gua-rds with their arms. His
Lordship returned to, his own house with the sol-
diersti into which the mob had broken. He told
the soldiers to remain quietly till he should give
them the ivord of com!nand to act, his Lordship
not intending tv disturb the mob while they merely
battered his house on the outside, However,
the proofs were too evident that they intended
further mischief. The mob had broken in,
anti were throwing the furniture into the street.
His T urd‘hip., upon finding 'this, put himself
at • the head of the Men, and desired them
to charge with fixed bayonets, at sight of which
the mob was greatly astonished, supposing
thi! force much greater, and fled precipitately; but
not before his Lordship had secured two of the
ringleaders with his own hands. They are now
committed for trial. Driven from the house, the
mob retired -to the North West corner of the
square, with legs of chairs and pieces et furniture
in their hands, with considerable order and deli-
beration, waiting to see if they wue followed by
any great force. It was supposed they intended
attacking another house in that quarter, as they
remained some minutes stationary consulting.—
They then returned round the square to Lord El-
don's ;house, where they gave three
.cheers ; but
on perceiving *be soldiers,• who shewed themselves
by bis'Lonrdship's direction, their leaders otvere
heard saying, "It won't do," upon which they
again retired and left the square, finally going out
at the North West corner. Lord Eldon and the
soldiers remained in the house all night.
The attack. of Mr. AIEUX, the brewer, In- Great
Russell-street, Was not accidental—Mr. M. had
been no party to the Corn Bill, but in conse-
quence-of'the fall in the price of bread, be had
lowered the wages of some of his workmen.
Mr. W. POLE'S house, in Saekville-row, was
also among those that suffered.

We have just heard that the man and
woman who were killed last night in Burlington-
street, provoked their fate by their outrageous
conduct. The Guards, to deter the mob front
violence, fired at them, but with blank cartridges.
The man and woman, who were both young,
treated this lenity with contempt, and began
to throw brickbats at the Guards as well as at the
house of Mr. ROBINSON, and all farther lenity
would most probably have excited others to follow
the example.
