for the whule of the country is now looking t.,) London
to ascertain the state of feeling here. I hope you will
not dtsert your posts if a few policemen•come amongst
you, for there is dander for those who run, safety for
those who stand, and whatever may be the consequence,
there cannot be more heads broken than there are at

present. Your business now is to organize. Appoint
your class leaders, make your clu.sses, divide yours.-Ives
into wardmotes, get in so thorough a state of organiza-
tion that you may at any moment be ready to act it calk-d
upon. I have heard from a very-good authority that the
men of Dublin have already colnuaractd, and I have also
been informed that the Government have requested the
newspapers not to insert any accounts of tile Irish out-
breaks. We, therefore, require funds to send a man

to Dublin to ascertain if such is the ease. It is no use
Fur the Government to put in down, tor I shall never

cease agitating until I have procured for the poor man
his right, and brought the nose of the rich to the
grindstone. On Whit IttoinbAy we
.shall have another
display, another Kennington,curernon'meetinfr'. but not
at Kennington.—(l/ear, hear, told cheer.,.) Will Lon-
don do its duty?—(Cries of • Yes, yvk.") Mr. Jones
concluded by advising them to organize‘. and in a few
days the green flag would float over Downing-street,
Mitchel and John Frost would he on their way to Eng,
land, and Lord John Russt•il and,,,Lord.Grey on their
way to Baffin's Bay.---(Lond.cheer.af),,:
Mr. Jones and the othi,:r leaders then: left the ground.
The sight of a policeman crocsiug fields towards the
church arrested the attention of the mob, who made
off towards
.him in a body, evidently resolved to

revenge the attack which had been made upon
them in the . morning. Frain a newly Macadam-
ized road in front of the church they procured a
large supply of stones, with which they .attacked
the constable, who managed, however, to make his escape,
alter receiving many severe injuries. Their attention
was then directed to the church, the
.wiedows of which
were speedily broken, the mob having become impressed
with the idea t hat the sacred eiitiee was filled with
soldiers and policemen. The police, in a bouy, then
made towards the mob, but their tumber was to small
compared with their assailants, that they. were unable to
quell the disturbances; indeed, in the conflict which en-
sued they were completely beaten, and were compelled
to take refuge in the church. Polieeman.li 118 received
a dreadful cut across the temple, ate inch and a half
long and an inch deep. Policeman K 92 received a blow
across the back of his neck with an iron railing, and the
'man who inflicted it was captured after e desperate ,re-
sistance. Policeman 210 (plain clothes) received a
frightful wound under the ear from a brickbat while en-
deavouring to rescue a comrade who had been attacked
by a man with a large knife. This.:anate. was also cap-
tured, as were 'about sixteen 'others, and. lodged pro
tem. in the vaults-of St. James's Cisurefi.The wounded
were conveyed to the rectory. house, where their wounds
Were dressed by two surgeons, and 'great attention was
paid to them by the Rev. H. P. Haughton, who provided
wine and other necessaries.
Meanwhile the horse-patrols and a large body of po.
lice arrived, and commenced clam ing the fields, a task of
no small difficulty, for the mob was obstinate, and were
determined upon resistance. The police went to work
with vigour, and a large number of eeisofis, between 70
to 80, were' severely wounded, and (Watts were captured
and taken off by the horse-police.
Shortly afterwards a signal xias given, and the mob
moved off to Stepney-'l,4;reen, followed by tl.e police.
A most determined spirit is evinced with regahl to the
threatened rising on Monday next, the 12th itnit. No
arrangements have yet bean made as to the place of
meeting ; and the whole affair, it is lAiieved,' is tee be
kept a secret in the several localities until the morning
of the day when the meeting will he •ficld

the police have been ordered off to their several station-
houses, there to remain in reserve in case their services
should be again reqUired. The whole of the tnouteed
police are also in readiness. Information having
reached the authorities that it was the deterMination
of the Chartists to hold • meetiEgs in the more
distant parts of the metropolis, mounted men
were sent off to Bow, Stratford, _lslington, and several
other places, with inStrtictidhs 'that immediate notice
should be given in the event-of- any attempt to disturb
the peace being mad?. To keep the crowd from again
assembling in Bishop Bonner's- fields •required the. most
stringent measures on the part ef the authorities, and
in the event of the police not being. able to menage the
mob, ample provision was made by the, military twassist
them. The whole of the Government offices, the Bank
of England, and the Miut were well protected, each
having a treble guard on duty.
Upon making inquiries at the London Hospital it was'.'
ascertained that several persons were severely injured by -
the blows from the policemenS' truncheons and cut-
lasses, but no fatal result was upprehendLd. A
great many persons, after having their wounds dressed,.
.-vere enabled to walk home. •• •
CAPTURE OF A CnARTIST LLIDER. —Last evening
an individual covered with blood, • that flowed from a
wound which, he alleged, had been inflicted by a plice- •
man's sabre whilst • attending a Chartist meeting at,
Bishop Bonner's fields, Bethnal-Green, paraded the
principal thoroughfares of the. metropolis, followed by a
mob of two hundred .or three, hundred persons. His
object seemed to be to make public the treatment he
had received, as he stopped at all the newspapei -offices,
demanding interviews with the editors. His beard
had . been suffered to grew, and altogether he
presented a most singular spectacle. The crowd became
very great, and as he was in the act of ringing the ball
at Mr. Reynolds's, the: publisher, in Wellington-,street,
he was captured by two constables of the F division of
police, and conveyed to Bow-street station house, where
he was recognised as Mr, Dunkard, the Chartist, who
addressed the mob 4ena the lamp-post on Clerken-
well-green, on Wednesday night. Mr, Superintendent
Pearce immediately acquainted the magistrates of Bow-
street court, who were in attendance, and, accompanied
by Mr. Burnaby, the chief :clerk, they attended at the
station-house, and examined the prisoner. lie was or-
dered to be detained. alas wounds were, dressed by a
surgeon.

THE RIOTOUS PROCEEDINGS IN
MANCHESTER

About half-past eleven o'cleck on Thursday, William
Chadwick, a Chartist lecturer, headed a party of some
fifty or sixty persons, who set cut from the New Cross
with the intention of going to Oldhain to induce the
Chartists there once more to come to Manchester, and
to avenge their defeat of the preceding day. On 'the
road, however, most of his followers slink away, and
he entered Oldham with a very few of his corps remain-
ing. Amongst other disorderly and cowardly proceed-
hip of the mob at New Cross, they attacked any police
constable whom they saw alone, as he was going to duty
or returning home, and in 'one case a policeman was
severely injured. About 25 minutes after eight o'clock,
as policeman James Gillespie,' 13 70, was proceeding
from his own dwelling, in Bennett-street, to the Oidharre
road police-station, he was suddenly assailed by a volley
of stones when near the end of Lees-street, Oldham-
road; he was knocked down, arid- when on the ground
was savagely beaten and kicked by the rioter& Some
of the police coming up, he was conveyed 'home; where
he now lies much neured, mid cpirte nimble for the pre-
sent to resume his duties. 12-I.' •
About half-pact seven o'cloCk, a body of several
hundred men and lads proceeded slowly froth the New
Cross to the B divisiou police-Aation, Oldham-road;' for
the purpose, as they avowed, of attacking the police
there. At this time, there were not'aiore &in 50 or 60
constables in the station; and • the mob continued
stationary for about ten minutes, throwing stones, and
apparently endeavouring to provOlitethe police to make a
sally, in order to ascertain their atieugth. At length,
seeing the numbers of the mob rapidly lizereasing, till
they were about 2,000, Mr. Superintendent Leary Bud-
-denly rushed out, at the heed of about 50 of the'l3 divi-
sion, when the mob diepersed, running Capidly in all
directions, and, as soon as 'the pullets retdrzied from
pursuing them, assailing thee:Rzeis -with stones, brick-
bets, and other missiles; but taking care to keep at a
distance. As the crowd 'again advanced, Mr. Leary, at
the head of his men, made a secontt sortie; hind this time
cleared Oldham-road and the'aijecedt streets.
On receiving the accounts a` the 'disorderly- state of
the neighbourhood of New Cro'sS. Captain Willis; with
Mr: Beswick, chief sinieiiiitendent, Supeeiatendeht

dozen men each, who'coniinued topatrof the district for
some time, refusing to alloW the, assembling of even
small groups, and thus they prevented the aceurnuletion
of the disorderly in numbereeufficient weft= a mob.

stated the case generally. He said that on the previous
day he received information that a large number of per-
sons were coming into Manchester from Oldham. Mr.
Superintendent Leary havin previously received infor-
relation to that effect, had mg arched off with his divison
to the Newton toll bar, to prevent the people coming in.
About eleven o'clock he (Mr. Beswick) joined Mr. Leary'
at the toll-bar, and shortly after word was brought that
the people were flocking into iVianchester. When it was
supposed that they must have got near to the bar, it was
thought prudent to close the gate, sad the police were
ordered to draw their swords.' About ten minutes to
twelve o'clock indications of a procession marching up
from Manchester side became visible, and presently the
prisoner Flynn rushed up to the bar, .and in :a violent
manner demanded that the gates should be opened, say-
ing that hound the people with him were going on to-
the meeting Ott Failimorth). There were several burn'
