proceeded RI their course, bearing down all 'be-

opon, and a frightful scene commenced !
-Thesealfold was speedily surrounded by troops,
and-strong divisions atretched themselves in very
direction, dispersing the multitude on all sides.
The cowardly incendiary Hoot was speedily inti-
miffiited—and roared out lustily for protection !
The Shocks •rnade against the timber-Work of the
scaffolding soon brought it to the ground, and
with it Hunt, and Johnson, and many other per-

of whom were dreadfully hurt. Hunt and John-
son were seized by one of the Manchester troop,
and some of the Cheshire Cavalry—they were
dragged- to a coatis, and, under a numerous escort,
lodged in the" New Bailey.
At this period the Horse were seen in various
places, driviug the 'people down the nearest tho-
roughfares. Bricks- were thrown at them in

at leait4ighty, many of them in a very hopeless
state. Very-few were hurt by the sword, which

down and trampled upon; carts, chaises, and. lit-
tera were procured, and they were carried with all
possible speed to their bourses, or to the flair-
wary ;-there were nearly 30 in the hospital before
only o'clock.

The town by six o'clock was nearly cleared of
the multitudes which in the morning-had infested
it, except the district of Newtown which way
sort .of rallying point for the disaffected.—
Shout nine o'clock strong detachments of the
Military marched in .hole various qumtvrs, and it
was now thought that the public peace was efiec-

.crowds assembled near rlie•Necir C:nss, and .re-
mained there till towards ten o'clock. he in li-

were-fired Apun several times! Of ,Course great
numbers must have been wounded, and no doubt
many killed ;, hitt at so late tin hour it was -impos-
sibte to obtain 1;liy thing in the shape of authen-

charges of musketry were frequently heard through-
out the night, and that a shop; bet/Hieing to a re-

The Cheshire Yeomanry distinguished tl►em-
selves throughout th6Se dreadful proceedings by
great forbearance and we are happy to add, that
few of them received any material personal injury.
