SKIPTON (YESTERDAY'), 5 P. m.

It has been reported here very, currently that an attack was to
take place on the malls in the neighbourhood of Addingham, and
that a large number were assembled upon Rombald's Moor, near
this place, for that purpose; also that a large number were as.
trembled upon. Colne Moss, which rumour, with her hundred
tongues, has magnified into ten thotteand, for the same unlawful
purpose. As a precautionary measure, the civil authorities of this
-town have requested all the respectable inhabitants to come for-
ward, and be sworn as special constables. The Magistrates at-
tended at the Black Horse this afternoon, for the purpose of

stroaring them in. Two young men, named William Calvert and
Richard Ellison, have undergone three examinations before J. N.
Coulthurat, Esq., aid the Rev. A. Lister, Clerk, and are re-
mandedfor another this day, charged with being concerned in the
attactuiupon Mr. Atomizes mill, at Gargrave, and breaking the
looins therein. - Warrants are in the hands of the I'eaee-officers
against four others for the same offence, who have absconded.
The Otley troop of Yorkshire Husiars which arrived here yester-
day from Addiugham, have been suddenly ordered to Ringlet ;
they left here about half an hour ago.

KEIGHLEY, (YtaxitanAT), 7 P. M.
A troop of the Yorkshire Hussars from Bkipton, left here just
now for Halifax, having been countermanded from Hingley, to
which place they were going. All here remains tranquil.

BINGLEY, (I'nl Et:flay), A r. M.
The whole of the troops, with the exception of about a &men,
under the immediate command of Lieutenant-Colonel Yorke,
which arrived here this afternoon from Ilkley, departed hence
about half an hour ago to Otley. Notwithstanding many un-
pleasant reports as to the ultimate object of the rioters, the town
remains at present perfectly still. It is said that troops have
been sent for to Beildon, a village a few miles distant, but the re-
port wants confirmation. A messenger has just arrived from
Bradford, requiring troops to be sent there; he leaves here im-
mediately to overtake Colonel Yorke, and the troops under his
command.

BRADFORD, (LArr NIGHT TEN O'CLOCK.)
During the day there have been two assemblies of the work-
men it► this neighbourhood ; in the afternoon, at 3 o'clock, upon
Fairweather-green, and in the evening, about 6, upon Bradford..
moor. After remaining in consultation some time, they began
to move towards this place, and by a little diversion to the right
the arrived at the mill of Mr. Horsfidl (brother of Mr. Horefall,
of Addingliam), called the North Wing Mill. Having nearly
surrounded the place, they began pelting stones through the win-
dows, and otherwise damaged the place. The crowd having con-
tented themselves with thus wreaking their vengeance on the ma-
nufactory, retired ; upon which Mr. 11., expecting a further at-
tack, took prompt measures to prevent their obtaining admission.
Masons were immediately set to work to put bars in the windows,
a quantity of ammunition, Sec., And stones were carried into the
budding, which was otherwise put into a complete state of de-
leoce, persons being stationed both outside and within. To second
these endeavours, messengers were dispatched to the neighbouring•
towns for the military, anti the Magistrates proceeded to swear in
special constables, which they are at this moment doing.

Two troops of the Yorkshire Hussars (about LW) men), un-
der the command of Colonel Yorke, have just arrived, and about
sixty more are expected in little more than an Lour.

I have just been to the North Wing Mill, which is put into a
Complete state of defence. go lately as ten minntss ago, stones
have been thrown through the windows. The Special Con-
stables have begun to parade the town in groups of from ten to a
dozen. I forgot to mention that a meeting is said to have been
held at Fairweather-Green, so early as three o'clock this morn-
ing, and that at - one of the meetings this afternoon, it re-
solved to assemble again on Wednesday morning, at eight o'clock ;
but active measures are now taking to prevent this.

We understand that the Leeds Troop of Yorkshire Hussars re-
ceived orders yesterday to hold themselves in readiness.
Lieutenant Colonel Yorke commands the Yorkshire Htissars in
the absence of Lord Grantham, who is shortly expected to join
the Regiment. He (Colonel Yorke) is at present stationed
at
Ilkley, where he is concentrating several of the troops, to the num-
ber of from two to three hundred.

Expresses have been received in this town from the 'districts re-
quiring the presence of the military, to quell the riots, 'und the
three troops of the Ist Dragroons have marched in succession into
Lancashire. At eleven o'clock on Thursday, two troops of the
6th Draron Guards arrived hers by forced marches from Nor-
wich, and at four o'clock on Friday morning they proceeded from
hence fur Burnley. The Otley Troop of the Yorkshire Hussars
have marched off to Addingham, and on Friday, the Leeds 'Squad,
ron of the same regiment paraded in the area of the Coloured Cloth
Hall, but neither they or any of the troops, except that of Otley,
have received any marching order.

CLASOW, APRIL 29.
A great sensation has been produced here by the intelligence of
the destruction of the power-loom establishments at Blackburn.
The number of the unemployed hand-weavers in this district is
steadily increasing ; nor is there yet the slightest reason to. hope
for an early termination in their stifferings. Hitherto they have
conducted themselves with the most exemplary patience and good
sense. It is understood that they have no feeling of hostility to-
wards the power-looms, to the use of which they ascribe no por-
tion of the present distress. They are galled, however, at.weing
the price.of grain advancing, while their families are pining with
hunger, and the bonded warehouses filled with foreign grain, net
allowed to be brought to market.
Of the power-looms in this place and. neighbourhood, abort
24300 are wholly unemployed. Several of the ' remaining 'evta-
bliahments, which have hitherto been going on hull time, are
also about to be locked up. They have been accumulatingstOcka
of goods of a kind which can he bought Is. per piece below the
cost at which. they are produced.
