MANCHE iTEEt, SEPT• 3.

THE CHOLERA RIOTS.

The twelve individuals who were apprehended on Sun-
day evening last, as the ringleaders in the riot and out-
rage at the Cholera Hospital, in this town, were brought
before the sitting Magistrates, this day, to answer the
charges to be preferred against them. They were nearly
all Irishmen. A number of witnesses appeared against
them, who proved that eight of the accused were implica-
ted in the work of destruction, some in destroying the ve-
hicles for the conveyance of patients, and others in ex-
posing the body and begging money in the crowd on
behalf of the relatives of the deceased. Four were dis-
charged, and eight were held to bail in two sureti,s of 201.
each to answer any charge that might be brought against
them at the Sessions. Being unable to find bail they
were committed. After the committal of the rioters,
the man Hare, the grandfather of the bay who had
been exhumed, whom he in the first instance supposed
had been murdered, appeared in Court with the Catholic
Priest who endeavoured to appease the fury of the mob at
the attack upon the hospital, and Mr. Heron, the solicitor,
and Secretary to the Board of Health, and made affidavit
before the Magistrates that he believed that his grandson
had died of the cholera, and had received every attention
from the Medical Board and the surgeons who attended
the hospital ; and that the Board were not privy to, in any
way, the cutting off of the child's head. This affidavit
having been read over and sworn to, Mr. Heron stated to
the Magistrates that the head of the deceas-d had been
recovered, and placed in the coffin with the body. He
was also requested, on behalf of the Board, to apply to the
Magistrates for a warrant against Mr. Hobert Oldham,
the surgeon who was charged with having decapitated the
body. The Board regretted exceedingly that such a dis-
graceful affair had taken place in the hospital, and they
were determined to bring the offender to justice. The
Magistrates immediately granted the application, and a
warrant against Mr. Oldham was accordingly issued. It
appears that the way Mr. Oldham came into possession c f
the head was, that he had either bribed or persuaded the
nurse, who is an Irishwoman, to say nothing about thy,
matter, but she afterwards related the circumstance to
some of her own countrymen, who speedily informed the
grandfather of the deceased, though he accounts for his
exhuming the body by saying he had bad a dream that the
child's heed was cut off. Workmen are now busily em-
ployed in repairing the hospital, but it i 3 hoped that that
establishment will be less needed than it has hitherto been ;
indeed there are very few cases reported to-day, and for
the last week the disease has appeared to be on the decline
—thirty and thirty-five cases per day have been very com-
mon, but to-thy only nine cases and nine deaths are re-
ported, which includes Saturday and Sunday. In Salford,
which is the adjoining township, there are twenty-seven
ne-v cases reported to-day. It appears from the affidavit
of Hare that he never was denied admission to the
hospital.

'Tit. POULETT THOMPSON.—A Committee
has been formed in Manchester for the purpose of soliciting
Mr. POULETT THOMPSON, the Vice President of the Board
of Trade, to become a candidate for the representation of
that borough in the new Parliament, but Mr. THOMPSON
as yet has not openly declared himself. The present can-
didates for the honour ate Mr. JOHN THOMAS HOPE, a
Tory, and nephew of the Eirl of HorrrouN, Mr. LLOYD,
the banker, a C inservative, of the firm of JONES, LOYD,
and Co., Mr. MARK PHILLIPS, a manufacturer, (whose
partner in trade is a candidate for the southern division of
the county of Lancaster,) a Whig, and Mr. WILLIAM
CounErr, anything. The favourite candidates are Mr.
PHILLIPS and Mr. LLOYD.

TOWER HAMLETS.—PLEDGES.--A meet-
ing of the electors took place yesterday at the Eigle
Tavern, in the Mile-end-road, Mr. AVENS in the Chair,
to give the Candidates for the borough an opportunity of
speaking upon pledges. The ten candidates had been in-
vited to attend, but only Colonel STANHOPE and Mr.
OFFER, had acceded to the invitation. Mr. CLAY hail
sent a prior engagement as an excuse. The two candi-
dates pre-ent approved of the pledges which had been
drawn up by the Committee appointed for the purpose,
and addressed the meeting at great length.—Mr.
THWAITES mentioned that be hail received a letter fiom
Lord ALTIJOKP, stating that his Lordship intended to
stand for this borough ; but as he had pledged himself to
Northampton, lie could not say whether he should serve
for this borough until the registration of that county was
completed.—The meeting then broke up.
MEMOIRS OF LAFAYETEE.—" We have
received a copy of a very remarkable work, just published
in Paris, entitled Lafayette, any Revolution of MO,'
by a M. B. SAIMANS, who was LAFAYETTE'S Secretary.
As its title suggests, it gives an entire biography of the
venerable General, who has acted a distinguished part in
three revolutions; but its chief interest hinges on the
details which it supplies on the part which he and his
friends played in the last. Its narrative of late events is
so full, that it occupies the whole of the second volume,
with a considerable part of the first, and so recent as to
furnish us with the proceedings of the movement party
during and after the insurrection of last June. Its dis-
closures, therefore, have all the attractions of novelty, and,
if authentic, will enable us better to judge of the fee ings
and views of existing persons and parties, than any con-
temporary work with which we are acquainted."— Times.
We are requested to state that a translation of the above
important work will be immediately published by Mr.
BENTLEY, (late Colburn and Bentley) New Burlington-
street.

GLOUCESTERIANA, NO. 21.—His Royal
Highness heard the other day that it war the intention of
a certain nobleman " to cut off his heir with a shilling."
" Bless my son)," blustered the Duke, " be can never do it.
It is madness for him to try to cut off his hair with a
shilling. Doesn't he know it's the nature of all money to
be blunt ?"—Figaro.
On last Sunday night, a field of wheat, the
property of W. FILGATE, of Lisrenny, county of Louth,
Esq., was not only cut down, but actually carried off the
land, leaving no clew whatever to guide to the detection
of the perpetrators of this outrage.—Dublin Even. Post.
The Saint Sitnonians are, it seems, distin-
guished by the peculiarity of their waistcoat ; so are the
unfortunate inmates of Bedlam ; and were the pattern and
the cut the same in both instances, the similarity would
be quite appropriate.
AMUSING INCIDENT.—III the course of an
action tried before Mr. Justice PARKE, at our late Assizes,
the question turned altogether on a point of law. Mr.
WIGHTMAN appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Pol.tocic
for the defendant. When the point was submitted to his
Lordship, Mr. PoLLocx, instead of addressing the Bench
in a speech of his own, said he held in hie hand a paper
which would have more weight than any thing. he,,eould
offer, and began " An eminent lawyer is of opinion,
and
so on, and then, to the amusement of all present, exhibited
it with the name of Mr. WIGHTMA at the foot, who was
then advocating the other side of the question. Mr.
WzawrmaN said that was very bid law, and, whatever
opinion ho might once have entertained on the point, he
was then of an entirely different opinion ; but the Learned
Judge and Mr. POLLOCK a;reed with the opinion formerly
expressed by Mr. WIGIITMA N, and which most likely war
con ect.—.Lancaster Gazette.

THE SCOTCH CHURCH, LONDON.—It is
ainbetallo‘v-

Swallow-

the National Scotch Church, Regent-square. The first
two have the largest congregations ; but the whole num-
ber of Scotchmen who are regular attendants at these six

churches do not, probably, much exceed 2,000. Oa Mr.
TRVING'S expulsion by the Presbytery, the church in Re-
gent-square was nearly deserted ; but, during the last few
weeks, very respectable congregations have assembled
there, and the numbers are increasing. The house taken
',y Mr. litvlso, in Newman-street, Oxford-street, was
formerly occupied as the picture-gallery of the late Presi-
dent WEST. It will seat 1,500 persons. The rent, with
that of the house adjoining, which has been taken as a re-
sidence for Mr. laviso, is 2001 per annum. Not one-
sixth of the Rev. Gentlem in's followers are Sc itch. About
50 young men apostles of the new faith, preach every day
in the streets and lanes of London and the suburbs.

A terrific storm occurred ou the 16th tilt. at
Silesia, by which 13 villages were re aly entirely destroyed.
The hail (some of which are said to have weighed one

although the hurricane only lasted a quarter of an hour.

This morning, about 1 o'clock, a tire broke
out at the house of Arr. DALIty, a hatter, in Holborn, op-

which, together with those belonging to Mr. DALRr, were
in a little time destroyed.

We perceive, from the American Rail Road
Journal of Aug. 4, that an American Company have it
in contemplation to open a passage for ships through the
Isthmus of Panama. " Izy it," says the Journal named,

SINGULAR AND AWFUL VISITATION.—
Yesterday an inquest was held at the St. James's Infir-
mary, Poland-street, on the body of MARY OXFORD, aged
35. The deceased had been engaged as cook in the family
of J. H. Powell, Esq., of 33, Old Burlington•street. She
came to her situation about 8 o'clock on Friday night in
excellent health and spirits, and remarked to Mr. SPARK'S,
the housekeeper, that she would be extremely comfortable
and happy. She retired to rest about half-past 10 o'clock,
having previously supped heartily off some cold mutton
and porter. The hour keeper, who occupied a❑ adjoining
chamber, went to call her in the morning, when she
found the deceased stretched lifeless on the bed in her night-
clothes. The deceased was quite dead, and had been so
for some time. It is conjectured that her death must have
arisen from the bursting of some large blood-vessel.
Verdict—Died by the visitation of (Jon.

FEMALE SAILOR.—On Monday evening 3
young sailor, apparently about eighteen years of age, be-
longing to the Charlotte, of and from Dundalk, at present
in our harbour, got so much grog aboard as to be rendered
insensible, and in that state was conveyed in a haud-cart
to the police office. During the efforts that were made to
resuscitate the unfortunate youth from the eff ets of the
whisky, the interesting di•covery was made that the ire..
briat ai tar belonged to the fair sex. Since her recovery
she appears to be heartily ashamed of her awkward situ..

after having left the hospital, where she had been confined
by fever; that in her extremity she was induced ba ri%
herself out in the clothes of a sailor, who was asleep s;
the time in the same house ; and that, having no friends
or relations to assist her, she resolved upon the novel es;
pedient of procuring employment on board of a vessel
bound for Ireland, as a sailor. She says she has perform"
ed two voyages since assuming the male attire. We My

CASE OF MURDER.—On Monday last, 0
Coroner's inquest was held by Mr. WiraixtEy, upon a
boy, between nine and ten years old, who was found oa
the Friday evening preceding, a little before 8 o'clock,
lying in the ditch by the side of the footpath in Summer"
lane, near the brick-ground of Mr. HEATON. It ar
peered, from one class of witnesses, that the boy was seer'
to fall down suddenly, and no one was near him at th°
moment. A gentleman and lady, who did not previous'',
see him, heard a noise in the ditch, which attracted the
attention, and, at their request, a man who was follow 4
them, raised the boy up, and laid him on the bank. Hi°
face was rather bloody, and he was thought to be in a fit'_,
Tire person who first saw him fall then came up, and 01
afterwards several boys, from whom the deceased hilt
parted about 10 minutes, and they recognized him, and h
d home. All the witnesses who spoke to these

circumstances concurred in stating, that no one 01
running away, or had been met by any of them. One '',
the witnesses, in describing the fall of the boy, said We
he fell on his head, as if he were going to dive in t:hr-
water. Upon removing him borne, a wound nearly fee
