MANCHES PER, JUNE 14.

The procession, which is appointed to take place on
Saturday next, by the boroughreve and constables, it is
anticipated will be rather a flat concern, as the reforming
inhabitants are much chagrined that the Tory authorities
should have fixed upon a day, which they well knew was
one of the most inconvenient of the week for a public re-
joicing, being not only a market day, but the close of the
Whitsun week, which in Manchester is a time of general
festivity, and the pockets of the working classes are com-
pletely drained of the needful at the races.
Many of the respectable reormers have exerted them-
selves to have the day of rejoicing postponed, so that the
inhabitants may show the feelings they entertain in obtain-
ing the great charter of their rights, but the boroughreeve
has refused to listen to the numerous entreaties, and will
have no other day set apart for the people's jubilee, than
the inconvenient one that the Tories have chosen. The re-
formers, however, if they, in consequence, refuse to
mingle in what it is supposed it will be, a mock rejocing
intended that the inhabitants shall fix a day for the pur-
poses of joy and philanthropy ; and there is no doubt but
a general illumination will take place, and that food and
beer will be distributed to the needy. Several houses,
even since the passing of the Bi 1, have illuminated every
evening, and flags are streaming in all parts of the town.
Mr. Hutton, of the Dog Tavern, in Deansgate, and Mr.
Molineux, of St Ann's-street, have exhibited some of the
most splendid transparencies, mottoes, and devices. Mr.
Rutter, of the Princess Tavern, and many other publicans,
have received from their respective customers liberal sub-
scriptions towards roasting bullocks and sheep, to be given
to the poor on a day when the rejoicing becomes general.

MURDEROUS ATTACK UPON A MAGI-

STRATE OF SOUTH SHIELDS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Newcastle•upon-Tyne, June 13.

The colliers are proceeding to the commission of such
atrocities as can no longer be endured. A most diabolical
and unprovoked attack was made, on Monday afternoon,
by two of them on Nicholas Fairless, EN., a Magistrate
of South Shields. He was riding on his pony between
what is called the Barns and Jarrow, at five o'clock in
the afternoon, when two pitmen came up to him and
asked him to give them a shilling ; he said he could not
give them money, and they had much better return to
their work. They continued to beg, and he declined
giving them any thing. He asked the person who was
most importunate his name, and he said it was Jobling, of
Jarrow. Soon after this, Jobling asked Mr Fairless to
shake hands. Mr. Fairless held out his hand for that
purpose, when Jobling took hold of it, and at the same
moment Mr. Fairless felt the arm of another man round
his neck, and he was immediately dragged from his
horse. One of the men (supposed to he Jobling) held
him down while the other took his stick from him, and
struck a great many severe blows on his head. Two
women then came within sight, and shouted to them ;
and, after giving some further blows, they ran off. Jobling
was traced to the Sands of South Shields, were there were
some tents erected in consequence of horse-races, which
were going on. The police attempted to take him into
custody, hut his comrades would not allow it ; he Was
guarded, however, till a party of the military came, and he
was secured. A chaise having been sent for, Mr. Fairless
was conveyed to his own house at South Shields, and
medical assistance uas immediately called in. His injuries
on the head are severe, and it is believed that his life is
in danger. The other person concerned in the murderous
attack is supposed to be a man of the name of Armstr'ng,
who has decamped. Nothing short of a special c.mmis-
sion, and some signal examples, will put an end to these
proceedings.
