.remnio stationary. A
,post was accordingly as.
signed to the bearers of them, to which shortly'
afterwards a dung-cart was brought, into which
the standard hearers were ordered to mount, and
from which all the standards arriving afterwards
were most appropriately displayed. Numerous
large bodies of Reformers continued to arrive
from this time to one o'clock, from the different
rnwns in the n&.;:hbourboo:1 of 111aAchester, all
with flags, and many of thvm draw- .1p five deep,
and in replier marching order. A clot, of FeinAle
Reformers, amounting in number, according to
our calculation, to 1;56, came from Oldloi,“; al,(1
another, not quite so numerous, from Royton.
The first bore a white silk h nner, by f r •Ite most
elegant.di,.played during the day, inscribed " Ma-
jor Cart‘vright's Bill, Annual Parliaments, Uni-
versal Suffrage, and Vote by 1331lor." In one
compartment of it was Justice, holding the
scales in one hand, and a sword in the other ; in
another, a large eye, whict- we suppose was im-
piously intended to rept esent the Eye of Pi ovidence.
On the reverse of this flag W3S oh)‘ r inscription ;
hut it the hurry of the day we found it impossible
to decypher what it was, and can only say that
there were upon it two bands, both decorated in
shill males, clasped in each other, anti underneath
them an inscription, " Oldham Union." The
latter e. the females of lioyton) bore two red
flags, the one inscribed, " Let us e. women)
die like men, and not be sold like slaves ;" the
other, " Annual Parliarnen! s and Universal
Suffrage." The Radicals of Saddleworth brought
with them a black flag to the field, on one side of
‘4'hiCh was inscribed, " Taxation without repre-

sentation is unjust and tyrannical ; equal repre-
sentation or death ;" on the other side, " Union
is strength—Unite and he free—Saddleworth
and Aloiley Union." The Reformers from lioch•
dale and Middleton marched to the sound of the
bugle, and in VP] y regular time, closing rind ex-
panding their rai;ks, and matching in ()Hinny
and double quirk time, according as it pleased the
fancy of their leaders to direct them. They had
two green banners, between which they had
hoisted on a red pole a cap of liberty, crowned
with leaves of laurel, and bearing the inscription,
" Hunt and Liberty." Another hand bore a
banner, in which lititannia was represented with
her ti ident, leaning on a shield, upon which was
inscribed the motto borne by Sir William Wallace,
" 6011 armed, the Patriot."

In this manner the business of the day pro.
ceeded till one o'clock, by which time we should
suppo.,e that SO QOO people wet e assembled ow.
the ground. Dotiog this period we fotiod it im-
possible to epproach the waggon, though very
desirous to do so, as a young lad, not more titan
17 or 18, was addre.sing the meeting with great
vehemence of action ritot gesture, and with great
effect, if we may
.judge from the cheers which he
every now and then extracted Irons 1713 audience,
who were now beginning to he impatient for the
arrival of Flint, and the other orators who were
to follow in his train, like the satellites which
attend on some mighty planet.
The Reformers who had up to this time arrivea
in the field demeaned themselves becomingly,
though a poss: of 300 or 400 constables, with the
Borooghree;ve at their head, had m:o.clied in a
body into 'tji-e field shout twelve o'clock misty-
ported by Iny military body to all outward up.
pearance. Not the slightest insult was off ,Fed to
them. The people did indeed rush to behold
them ; but this was probably occasioned by an
idea that they were another body of Reformers.
As soon as they saw ‘Vigo they were, they tainted
away from them with a smile ; and, attracted by
a crowd, which was advancing from another cot.
oer of the area, went to meet it, crying, " Let us
keep peace and order, and go and welcome this
hotly, which is one of ours."
As we stood counting tile numbers of the Ohl..
ham Female Reform Club in their procession by
us, and whilst we were internally pitying the de-
lusion which had led them to a scene so ill-suited
to their usual habits, ja group of the women of
Manchester, attracted by the crowd, came to the
corner of the street where we had taken our post:
They viewtd these Female Reformers for soma
time with a look in which compassion and disgust
were equally bhn,led ; and at last burst Out iota)
an indignant e!.clamation—i, Go home to your
lamilics,and leave
.slice like matters as these io your
husballth and sons, who bet ter understand them."
The women who thus addressed them were of the
lower order.
We had waited up to one o'clock on the field
of action for the arrival of Hunt but as he had
not then made his appearance, we determined to
go and meet the procession, which it was said
was to attend the Orator. We met it just by the
Uxchange, where the people were cheering must
loudly, and Hunt and Johnson joining in the
.elievrs. They were seated in an open landau,
eloog Carlisle, Knight, and others, and had
moved in grand procession from Smedley-cottage,
past New,cross.,and Shude-hill, preceded by a
large body of male, and followed by a scat cely
less numerous body of female Manchester Refor-
mers. Before them were carried two boards, on
which were inscribed, " Order, order ;" these
were followed by two flags for Annual Parlia-
ments and
.Universal Suffrage, and also by Hunt's
old flag and cap of liberty, of Westminster noto-
riety, " flout and Universal Suffrage." This
latter was held by a fetaalc: Reformer, seated on
the dicky of the landau, which Lead die honour
of carrying the illustrious [mad:Patriots, whose
names 'ate have just mentioned. It was now to
lie exhibited in the last of itte,Oelds.
[lt was just opposite to the Exchange, as was
before mentioned, that the individual who furnishes
this report met the procession in full march : from,

.on the lald, anal those -whom _he then, save

tion is which he could hear the proceedings
of the day, unless he received some personal
accommodation from Mr. Hunt hiintelf. He had
never previously spoken to that individual, nor
woaldbe have thought of addressing hint upon this
occasion, had he not known that every gentle-
man connected with the London Press hail gladly
availed himself of similar assistance at the Smith-
field Meeting. As to espousing the political prin-
riplas, nr adeocatieg the wild doctrines of Radical
-.Reform, supported by Mr. Ha at, it is the very
last thing, if he knows himself, that be should
ever be induced to do; he holls theni in
as liner abhorrence as the most loyal subject
of his Majesty po4sibly can hold them, and
wi;i always be ready to express that disgust in
the mat-meet and most indignant terms. Mr.
Bunt, on this individuals's asking to be admitted,
if possible, on the hustings, immediately acceded
to his request, lie desired him to stand as close
as possible to the landau in which he Was riding,
And "promised to take care that every accommoda-
tion -in his power should be paid to his conve-
nience. He followed in the train of the Orator

The cut husiasm excited among the crowd by
tie presence of tire Orator was certainly beyond
pity tfin,g, Which we ever before witnessed; and
the cheers with which he was hailed ivere loud
nod lastiog. When he had taken his stand upon
the hustings, which Were formed of two carts
lashed together, and hoards spread over theM, he
expressed considerable disapprobation of the man-
ner in which they were formed, and of the place
in which they %acre situated. This tail! not excite
eurprise, when we state, that it was to arranged
that the speaker had to talk against the wind ;
end also, that on Mr. Hant's last appearance at
Manchester, the hustings were so slightly built
es to yield to the pressure of the superincumbent
crowd, tl ought fortunately no accident happened
from their giving away. After the different per-
sons who intended to address the multitude had
taken their position upon then, and silence had
been obtained, Johnson came forward, and pro-
posed that Henry Hunt be appointed their Chair-
roan. Here a stunt pause ensued, as if Johnson
had expected that some person would have come
forward to second his proposition. No person,
however, doing so, Johnson proceeded to call
upon theta to carry the question by acclatnation.
The meeting did so, and Henry Hunt was declar-
ed Chairman, amid cheers of 3 times 3. The
noise 'continuing longer than usual, Hunt found
it requisite_ to entreat his friends to preserve tran-
quillity. tie commenced his address by calling
the rissembly " Gentlemen," but afterwards
changed the term to " fellow countrymen." He
had occasion, he said, to entreat their indulgence.
es--(Noise continued.)—Every man wishing to
Spear, must himself keep silence.—(Laughter,
but no silence.)—" Will you," trait! he, address-
ing himself to the mob, " be so obliging as
not to call silence while the business of the day is
proceeding ?"—(Silence was then obtained.)—He
hoped that they would now exercise the all-power-
ful right of the people ; and if any person would
not be quiet, that they would put him down and
keep him quiet.—(We will.)—For the honour
which they had just conferred upon hiM, he return-
ed them his most sincere thanks: and for any ser-
aires which he either had or might rendea them,
till that he asked was, that they would indulge
him with a calm and patient attention. It was
impossible for him to think that with the utmost ;
silence he could make himself heard by every mem-
ber of the numerous and treMendotis meeting
which he saw assembled before hint. If those,
however, who were near him were not silent, how
could it he expected that those who were at a dis-
tance could hear what he should say ?—(A dead si-
lence now pervaded the multitude.)—lt was useless
;for him to rccaf in their recollection the proceedings.
of the last 10 days in their town ; they were all of
them acquainted.w jib the cause of the late meeting
being postponed; and it would be therefore super-
iitiotts in him' to say any thing about it, except, in-
deed, it were this—that those who had attempted
to put them down by the must malignant exertions
.had occasioned them to meet that Play in more than
twofold numbers.—(Hear !)—(Knight here whis-
pered something into Mr. Hunt's ear, ts hick caused
to turn round with some degree of asperity to
Knight, and to say, " Sir, I will not be inter-
rupted : when you speak yourself, you will not
like to experience such interruption.'' They
would have perceived, that since the old meeting
had been put off, and the present one had been
,called—though their enemies flattered themselves
*hit having obtained a victory, they showed by
;their conduct that they had sustained a defeat.—
cLong and loud applause.)—ln the interval be-
,,
tween the two meetings, two placards had been
circulated, to which the names of two obscure in-
dividuals were attached : the first was signed by
Torn Long or Jack Short, a printer its the town,
whom nobody knew.
At this stage of the business the Yeomanry Ca-
valry were seen advancing in a rapid trot to the
area : their ranks were in disorder, and on arriv-
ing within it, they halted to breathe their horses,
and to recover their ranks. A panic seemed to
strike the persons at the outskirts of the meeting,
who immediately began to scamper in every di-
rection. After a moment's pause, the cavalry
drew their swords, and brandished them fiercely
in the air upon which Hunt and Johnson desir-
ed the multitude to give three cheers, to show the
military that they were not to be daunted its the
discharge of their duty by their unwelcome pre-
sence. This they did ; upon which Mr. Hunt
again proceeded. This was a mere trick to in-
terrupt the proceedings of the Meeting ; but
lie trusted that they would all stand firm. He
bad scarcely said these words, before the Man-
chester Yeomanry cavalry rode into, the mob,
'which gave way before them, and directed their
course to the cart from which Hunt was speaking.
Nut a brickbat was thrown at them—not a pistol
Was fired during this period : all was quiet and or-
derly, as if the cavalry had been the friends of the
Multitude, and had marched as such into the midst
of them. A bugle-man went at their head, then
4in officer, and then came the whole troop. They
wheeled round the waggons till they came in
front of them, the people drawing back in every
CICCOOII on their.approach, After they had intr..

escape, the officer who commanded the detach-
ment went up to Mr. Hunt, and said, brandish-
ing his sword, " Sir, 1 have 'a warrant against
you, and arrest you -es my priiOner." Hunt, aft
ter exhorting the people to tranquillity in a few'''.
wiirds, turned round to the officer, and said, "
willingly surrender myself to any civil officer who
will show me his warrant," Mr. •Nadin, the
chief police officer at Manchester, then came for-
ward and said, " I will arrest you ; have got
informations upon oath against you," or some-
thing to that eff,ct. The military officer then pro-
ceeded. to say, that he had 3 warrant against John-
son. ,:iohnSam also asked for a civil-officer, upon
which a Mr. Andrew came forward, and 'Hont and
J tahnsoo then leaped from off the waggon, and stir-
rendered themselves to the civil rower. Search
was then made for Moorhouse aml Knight, against
whdin warrants .had also been issued. In die
hurry of this transaction, they had by some Means
or other contrived to make their escape. As soon
as Hem and Johnson had jumped front the wag-
gon, a cry was made by the cavalry, " Have at
their flags." In consequence, they imtnediately
d3shed not only at the 'flags which were in the
waggon, bet those which were posted among the
crowd, cutting most indiscriminately to the tight
and to the left in order to get at theni. This set
the people running in all directions, and it was
not till this act had been committed that ally
brick-bats were hurled at the military. From that
moment the Manchester Yeomanry Cavalry lost
ail commend of temper. A person of the name of
Saxton, Who is, we believe, the editor of the
Manchester Obserrer, was standing in the cart.
Two privalcs rode up to I inn : " There," said
one of them, " is that villain Saxton ; do you
run him through the body."—" No," replied
die other, " I had rather nut—l leave it to
you." the man immediately made a lunge at
Saxton, and it was only by slip ping aside that
the blow missed his life. As it was, it cut his
coat and waistcoat, but fortanately did Min no
other injury. A man within five yards of us, in
another direction, had his nose completely taken
off by a blow of a sabre ; whilst another was laid
prostrate, but whether he was dead, or had mere-
ly thrown himself down to obtain protection, we
cannot say. Seeing all this hideous wot k going
on, we felt an Alarm which any man may be for-
given for feeling in a similar situation looking
around us, we saw a constable at no great dis-
tance, and thinking that our only chance of safety
tested in placing ourselves under his protection,
we appealed to him for assistance. He immedi-
ately took us into custody, and on our saying that
we merely attended to report the proceedings of
the day, he replied, " Oh I oh ! You theta are.
one of their writers—you must go before the Ma-
gistrates." To this we made no objection ; in
consequence be took us to the house where they
were sitting, anti in our road thither we saw a
wo-
m on the ground, insensible; to all outward
• appearance, and with two large gouts of Hood
on her left breast. Just as aye came to the house
the constables were conducting Hunt into it,
and were treating him in a manner in which they
were neither justified bylaw nor humanity, strik-
him with their staves on the head. After he had
been taken into the house, we were admitted also;
'nod it is only justice to the man who apprehended
us to state, that he did every timing in his power
to protect us front all ill-usage, and showed us
every civility consistent with his duty. In the
room into which we were put, we found the Ora-
tor, Johnson, Saxton, and some other individuals.
of minor note, among whom was another woman
in a fainting condition. Nadia the constable
was also there. Hunt and Johnson both asked.
him to show them the warrants on which they•
had been apprehended. 11:hislie refused to do,
saying that he had information upon oath against
them, Which was quite sufficient for him. Hunt
then called upon the persons present to mark Na-i
din's refusal. Shortly after this transaction, Mr.!
[lay, the Chairman of the Magistrates, came into
the apartment, And asked Hunt if he was afraid to
go down to the New Bailey ; if he was, he bins-
self would accompany hint, and look after his!
safety. Hunt, who we forgot to mention had ie..;
ceived a slight sabre wound on one of his hands,i
said, that he should have no objection ,to the Mal
gistrate's company; lie certainly did not like ei-j
titer a cut from a sabre. or a, blow from a staff,.
both of which bad been dealt out to hint in no;
small quantity. 'Mr, Hay shortly afters ards Went'
out, havieg first made a reply to Mr. [Junta
which some riot out of doors prevented us front
hearing. On casting our eyes at the place where:
the immense multitude had lately beer) assembled,l.
we were surprised in the short space of ten
nutes to see it cleared of all its fdrinar tieduiiitrs,l
and,filled by various troops of -military, both hearse!
and foot. Shortly after this had. occurred, a Ma-
gistrate came into the room, .and bade the pti-
sutlers prepare to mareli off i the New Bailey.
Hunt was consigned to the custody of Colonel
('Estrange, of the 31st Foot, an 4 a detachment of
the 15th Hussars; and under his care, he and all
the other prisoners, who were each placed between
two constables, reached the New Bailey in perfect
safety. The staffs of two of Hunt's banners were
carried in mock procession before hint.
After these individuals had been comtnitted to
the custody of the Governor, they were turned
into one colonic-in yard, where the events of the
clay formed the subject of conversation. Knight
and Moorhouse, who had been taken a short time
after them, were afterwards added to their com-
pany. About five o'clock the Magistrates directed
the Governor of the prison to lock each of them
up in a solitary cell, and to see that they had no
communication with each other, This was ac-
cordingly done.
The writer of this article was one of the parties
thus imprisoned. Except that it was imprison-
ment, he had no reason to complain of the treat-
ment which he received. He was in custody
from two o'clock on Monday till twelve o'clock
on Tuesday. As soon as the Magistrates were
acquainted with the circumstances under which
his apprehension hall taken place, they imme-
diately ordered his release, and expressed in very
polite terms their regret for e inconvenience to
which he had been subjected. When we %veva
once more allowed to enjoy that freedom of %attic!)
we had been for a moment deprived, we took a
walk through most of the principal streets of

, •
7si'aueacster, and litund gnat they sire ai that tuna
(i?2*o'clock) completely tinder military disposal—
soldieas were posted at all the commanding 'psi-
tionseof the tusvu, and were to be seen .extended
at -fall length on the flags in various directions.—
At three o'clfsels, they had, however, all of them
returned to their quarters, and the towu was, to
all outrnard appearance, once more in a state of
tranquillity.
At seven o'clock, when we'ititted Manchester,
all was quiet its the town. A report had, how-
ever, reached it, that there was a serious riot at
Oldham, and in consequence sorn' troops of the
Chester Yeomanry were sent to quell ;t.
In our road to Stockport, our attention was
forcibly struck by the numerous groupe's Of idle
tnen, who were congregated togel her along it.
They 'appeared ready for any w irked or desperate
eurpfse; and we have reason to believe that be-
fore the evening was concluded they were en-
gaged in an attack upon the ,Magistracy of Stock-
port. About a mile front that place souse hail-
dreds of their) were assembled near a retry public-
house. A new hat, a tea-kettle, and some other
articles of little value, were displayed at the win-
dow, as is customary to display the prizes given
at wakes or feasts in this pact of the country.—
This was to ,serve as a pretext for their rueetinel
together; but that it was only a pretext we
(canted to a certainty, during our stay at Mac-
clesfield.
Ott our entry into that town about ten at ti*.ght,
we Were met by several women, who flung them-
selves in the way of our chaise, and entreated us
for God's sake not to enter it, as muttlerotts work
Was going on within it. This was not, to he
sure, pleasing information ; but on consulting
with our driver, he said there could be no harm
in our proceeding on as far as the Royal Hotel,
which lies nearly at the entrance of the town as
you come front Manchester. On arriving there,
our horses were seized by some special constables,
and eye were advised not to proceed further up
the town, if we had any regard whatsoever for
our lives, Of course we took their advice, and
ttirrned our horses into a yard, as they desired us.
On inquiring into the cause of the anxiety which
was depicted in all their faces, they informed us
that the Reformers in their neighbourhood, irri-
tated by the defeat Which they had sustained at
Manchester the day before, had assembled in a body
of 2or 3000 men, and had been committing the
most abominable acts of violence in diffet eat Tier-
ters of the town. Its the market-place they had
! broken every window which locked into it, and in
various othef places had done similar acts of atro-
city. They were emboldened in their will sins by the
knowledge that there were only a few military
men in the town, rind that in the custody of these
men, were 300 stand of arms, and several thou-
sand rounds of ball cartridge. The circumstance
of these arms being so looSely guarded, filled the
minds of the peaceable inhabitants with the ut-
most dread, especially when they found, on going
to the guard-house, that out of the six soldiers
stationed in the town, two were dead drank,
and one of then the serjeant at the head of
the detachment. They wete all, however, per-
sodded to stand to their arms, and being aided by
several respectable inhabitants of the town, at-
stned so formidable an appeatance, thdt the
rioters thought it unwise to attack them. This
disinclination on their part gave tresh coltrage to
the friends of order and tranquillity ; and in con-
sequence they made an attack of the rioters, anti
took several of thens prisoners. In the meau-
while, an express was sent off to Stockport, de-
siring that one of the three companies of the 31st,
Mlle!) had marched front their quarters at Mac-
clesfield to Stockport, might be sent back to the
former place, or else a company Of the Che-
shire Yeomanry Cavalry, many of whom are
inhabitants of the place, might be dispatched
to the assistance of their tawnsinen. Whilst
this scene was transacting in Macclesfield, it was
said that bonfires had been lighted on all the
'hills which surround it, and it was surmised that
these served as signals to the disaffected. The
first lighted was on Blakeney-bill ; this was an-
swered by similar fires on all the hills, from thence
up to Northern Laney there it stopped ; hot at
another signal, fire-rockets were thrown up from
is. Whether there was any meaning in these
fires or not we are unable to say ; but short-
ly after they appeared, the rioters resumed
their attacks, having first taken the precantoin
to extinguish all the gas-lights in the totvo.—
This was attended by twofold advantage, in-
asmuch as it did not leave them so „pen to
detection, and therefore gave th'em a bet-
ter opportunity of continuing their devastations.
Still, with.all these advantages, they never durst
meet the small but resolute band of special con-,
stables, who, under the command of the Mayor,'
were everywhere ready to resist them. Some eight
or nine gentlemen who had mounted themselves!
on horseback and armed themselves with swords,
were of great utility in scouring the streets and
bringing its prisoners, who were immediately
placed, in the custody of the soldiers of the 31st.
We are happy to say, that its the struggles be-
tweet) the two parties, ito serious personal injury
was done to either of them. Some of the rioters
got heavy blows from the staffs of the constables,
and some of the constables auk ward contusions
from the brick-bats hulled at them by their oppo-
petits ; but no lives were either lost or endanger-
ed. _When we left the tom), which was at four
o'clock in the morning, trantpiillify was perfectly
re-established ; 30 or 40 rioters were in car ody,
and the. Gentlemau who had gone with the ex-
press to Stockport had returned with the intelli-
gence, that, though a battle between the military
and the rioters was momentarily expected, a troop
of infantry bad started frotu Stockport, anti were,
whets he left them within an hour's match of
