FURTHER PARTICULARS FROM MANCHESTER.
We received at a late hour last night the fol-
lowing particulars respecting the stale of Man.
chaster, and the proceedings which took place
there down to five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon.
During the whole of Monday night the town
continued in a state of the greatest agitation ; for
ahhough every possible effort had been made in
the early part of the n'ght to disperse the mobs,
and the people that were collected in different
places appeared to manifest a sort of disposi-

lion to retire to their homes, apprehensions
were still entertained that as the ferment was
not allayed, the disaffected and infuriated po-
pulace would re-assemble in augmented nom•:
hers, end commit fresh acts of outrage. These
apprehensions were well founded. About two
o'clock in the morning a numerous mob sur-
rounded Mr. Tate's house, which they again at-
tempted to demidish. Upon this the military,
who, together with the civil power, had been pa-
rading through the streets the whole night, came
up, and, in their endeavour to disperse the rinterc,
were obliged to fire upon the people. Several
persons, we understand, were killed Had wounded

upon the occasion. For several hours after this,
the efforts of the military to clear the streets of
straggling parties were unceasing ; avid about six
or seven in the morning every thing was tranquil,
and every street was cleared even of passengers.—
No attempt was made to attack the place where
Hunt and his associates were confined.

Tuesday was the market-day at Manchester ;
and at an early hour in the morning the country
people were, as usual, bringing their commodi-
ties into town. All these were stopped on their
way by the military ; not a single article of pro-
visions was allowed to he brought in, nor were
any strangers allowed to enter the town: About
noon a notice was given to the different trades-
people that they might open their shops and pro-
ceed to their ordinary business. This was done ac-
coulingiy ; and in the course of the afternoon, and
down to the time when our last account came
away, the whole town appeared to have resumed
its accustomed tranquillity. The environs, how-
ever, presented a most melancholy spectacle.—
All along the roads men, women, and children,
were seen proceeding to their homes in the greatest
confusion and distress ; some with their clothes
torn, and others suffering under the wounds they
had received ; and even at a distance of many
miles from Manchester, numbers were observed
lying in the fields as if overcome with fatigue anti
want.

The latest arrival last night brought a sort of
bulietin to the followin:! effect 7,

EXPRESS FROM MANCHESTr.R.

Just as our Paper was going to press, we re-
eeived front the Gentleman deputed by us to re-
port the proceedings at Mitnchester, the follow-
ing account. It comprises not only copious de-
tails of what took place on Monday,
,and brings
up those of Tuesday to a late hour, but contains,
besides, some very important occurrences in other
parts of the great Manufacturing District, to
which we direct the serious attention of our
Readers :

DISPERSAL OF THE REFORM MEgTING AT MAN

CHRSTRII BY A MILITARY FrIRCE.

This lleeting, which has caused such nniver- j
sal anxiety and trepidation throughout the whole
of the country, took place on Monday last at Mao-
‘hester
The place appointed for the Meeting was a large
vacant piece of ground .on the north side of St.
Peter's Church, which is well known in Man-
chester by the name of St. Peter's-place. At half-
past 10 o'clock about 250 idle individuals might
be collected within it. About half-past 11 the
first bady of Reformers arrived on the ground,
bearing two banners, each of which was sur-
mounted by a cap of liberty. The:first bore upon
a white ground the inscription of " Annual Par-
liaments, and Universal Suffrage ;" on the re-
verse side, "No Corn Laws." The other
bore upon a blue ground the same inscription,
with the addition of " Vote by Ballot." After
these flags had been paraded over the field for
some time, it was thought fit by the leaders.of the
party which had brought them, that they should
