been immense on the range of lionses called Wind-
mill-street. The wooden and iron railings •in
front of the houses were broken, and the people
were piled by hundreds in the cellars. Atter be-
ing at the scene of action,. I proceeded to the In-
firmary, to inquire after the number of killed and
wounded. There are only five dead :—Whitworth,
-of Hyde, who was shot in the riot at 7 o'clock on
Monday evening ; Ashworth, constable, who was
killed on the field ; a man called Ashton, who
cuss crushed to death by the crowd 3 a woman
from Eccles, who was smothered, and a child
who .died from fright. I have seen to-day the
constable's funeral. Ile was a respectable Dian,
and the procession was respectably' attended.—
Whit worth, who was a great Reformer, died this
morning in the Infirmary. He was wounded in
the back of the head. He had some lucid inter-
vals, and was heard to pr'iy fervently. There are
`2g patients now in tire Infirmat y. 31 being brought
in. There are 30 ont-natints. Hultne, the
Yeoman, who was struck on the head %ith a
and thrown from his horse, is likely to
recover, though at first his case was regafded as

desperate.
To-day, at twelve o'clock, great crowd at-
tended at the New Bailey, with" the hope of hear-
ing the examination of Hunt. The Bench.of Ma-
gistrates was lull. Sir J, Byng was present. Mr.
Norris, the stipendiary Chairman, otdered the
state prisoners (as they must now be called) to !le
brought up.
Hunt was brought first to the bar. I observed
no change upon him. He walked with a film,
step, and assumed an undaunted and resolute,
though not an insolent manlier. His featur,s,
which are always feeble,. seemed more 'than usual
to wear a smile of const•ained coutposure and self-
satisfac;ion. Inc looked boldly rowed. Mr. Nortis
addressed, him to this effect :—" Ilettry H unt • tie
prosecutors are pet tectly prepared to gO into evi-
dence in.support Of the charges upon which you
were apprehended, loct other evidence has conp.l
before the Ntigistrattfs of the highest importance,
and they have deemed it their dtcy to lay the
whole body of it before the Ltw Oficers of the
Crown, to advise upon it. Inc M,,2,istrates,
whose organ I am, have theref,re ultannously
deemed it their ditty to remand you upon a charge
of Iligh Treason."
