"TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

" Sir,—l observe in the Times of this morning the fol-
lowing statements, founded, as it appears, upon the au-
thority' of your reporter at Southampton. 'The return-
ing Deicers did, therefore, request Lord Nugent to apt). •
logise, which he did thi.4 morning privately in the Hall,
in or rto prevent the correspondence between him, Mr.
Sharpe, and the returning officers from being then and
there publicly read out.' I desire to state that no sort
of apology, retractation, or explanation was weer made
by me to the returning officers; and. that, moreover, no
correspondence had ever taken place between me and
them. No apology was made by me to the Mayor,.
for this reason, that I had from the first distinctly and
publicly declared to that gentleman that I made no
charge or insinuation against hint. The statement in
the Times upon the same authority, respecting the trans-
action between Mr. Edward Cox %I ell and my friend, Sir
J. Easthope, of which, it is sul'erfluous to say the re-
porter could know nothing, is also entirely untrue in all
its parts. The authorised statement. signed by Mr. Ed-
ward Cuxwell and Sir J. Easthope, speaks for itself.
With regard to 'the assertion, to which you have given
' admission, respecting Mr. Mildmay and Mr. Hope, I
subjoin copies of letters addressed by me to those gentle-
men, with their reply, which, as well as this, 1 assume
you Will nut hesitate to publish.
" I aui, Sir, your obedient servant,
August 10. " NUGENT."
" 19, Grafton-street, Bond-street,'lVednesday,

" Dear Sir,—l read an article in the 'I imes newspaper
of this morning, which states that apologies' were
privately made' by me to you and to Mr. Hope, having
reference to some matters which passed at the late elec-
tion for Southampton. I am sure you will regard with the
same indignatimi as I do, this attempt to give currency
to an assertion so totally devoid of all truth, or semblance
of truth, relating to our personal conduct towards each
other, perfectly aware as you are that nothing
passed between us which could beceme matter of
apology, or epn which any apology therefore was
either given or required. I can have no doubt that you
will give me your testimony in denial of the unfounded
statement, with leave to make it public. I will usk
to. be good enough to let me have it in the coin se of the
day. I have made a similar request to Mr. Hope.
" I am, dear Sir, your obedient set.% ant,
" To Humphrey 31ildmay, Esq. " NUGENT."
• "My dear Lord—l can have no hesitation in say-
ing, in reply to your note, that on reading in the
Tones newspaper, this morning, the peragraph you
allude to. about an apology having been Made by your
Lordship to me, I was as much surprised as 3uu can
have been, as nothing of the sort occurred, ue r was
I in the least aware it was called fOr• by anything
which either publicly or privately passed between
us ; indeed, so satisfied was I that the contest was con-
ducted by us all on the must friendly footing, and that
you also felt so, as far as we were personally concerned,
that I did not think it worth while to write and explain
that some expressions of mine, which had been applied
in another paper to my opponents, and which may strike
you, should you meet with them, as ohj, ctiomb:e, Here
really used in allusion to a bill of indemnity which was
applied for some time ago,and certainly never could have
been used by me in reference to yourself, or the gentle
man who was associated with rm.
" You are perfectly welcome to publish the whole or
any part of this note, and I am only sorry that any mis-
take of the reporters, who are generally SO very accurate,
should have led to your having the trouble of writing to
me on the subject.-1 remain, my dear Lord,' your obe-
dient servant.

THE LATE MUItIn R AT. PECK-
bAM RYE.

A very strong feeling is now being expressed in the
whole vicinity of Norwood. Camberwell, and Peckham,
as to the murder of the unfortunate old man, James
White, %elm was so brutally killed in a harp on the
farm of Messrs. Noble and Mee, at Peckham Rye.
and the very sudden and unexpected discharge of the
man, William Webb, who was in custody on the charge
of murder. The following particulars in addition to those
that have already appeared may not be uninteresting to
the public, and have been gathered from personal inspec-
tion on the spot. The man Webb, who was suspected of the
commission of the murder, has left his place of residence
in Lordship-lane, but in connection with this, it seems
that upon the labourers on the tam hearing that Webb,
upon being discharged at Union. hall, had expressed a
-hope that his employers 'would again take him into their
employ, they went at once in a body to Mr. Mee, and
said they would work no more if he came back. -Mr. Mee
immediately said he should never be employed by him
again, and this may account for his leaving that part of the
country. But. there are matters connected w this atro-
cious murder w hich, as Mr. Payne, the CorOner,
would fully justify the Jury in sending Webb fer trial be-
fore another tribunal, and which have not yet liven stated,
but which the Jury treated as nothing, • and, as tar as
they were concerned, almost exonerated the man. Our
correspondent was in the station-haute at Cambt rwell-
green, when Webb was brought from his cell to be hand-
cuffed. He was a sturdy specimen of what is Understood
by an agricultural labourer, good looking, and nitt above
21 years of- age. Inspector Campbell had the bill-
hook in his hand, and the ins-ant Webb saw it he tottered
in his whole person, and at last merely said—fur the bood
.and hair were then perceptible on it—that he saw it in
:the stable a week ago. Ile was conveyed to Union-hail
in the custody of Camp ell and Cotton, 62, P., but he
maintained a sullen silence, and of course no questions
were put to him.' The situation of the farm and the spot
where Webb was seen hate not yet been described. It
will be recollected that on the night of the murder Webb
had gone brewhOuse in London, as he said, to ac-
company the team, but it was no i art of his business to
do so. .--When the waggon got to Peckham-rye, near the
-extremity of which is a private pathway leading to
Lordship-lane, he got down and said he should go that
way home. The team would have to proceed about two
hundred yards before it could reach the rotad leading
to the fiirm, and would consequently be much lot. r than
any one by the footpath, which passed clue by the side
of the farmyard. Before getting to the pathway there is
a piece of waste ground, where Webb said he was sick,
and the re stilt of the inspection has already appeared.
'the barn is not 20 yards irom the footpath, and 100
yards or so further sideways with the footway 11:ebb was
seen half an hour after. It is ,upposed the murder wus
con-twitted with something in his hand. The billhook
was found close by this spot. There is no doubt that a
funtlit•l inquiry will take place.

On Wednesday evening the Duke of Wellington
visited the Chinese collection t'or the third time since it
has been opt nol to the pm lic. His Grate was accom-
panied by the Marchioness of Douro, to whom he mi-
nutely explained the different articles of interest in the
room.

Dien.—Last week at Airannes, a post-house on the
road between Calais and Boulogne, Cl. tide Foul nie-, tor
the last eight years employed as a courier in the servive
of the Mot rily Chronicle. The postmaster not haAing
hore, put poor Fournier, and Porches, the cornier of
the Times, into a curricle. In crossing a bridge the
vehicle came in contact with the. walk pontes; which was
two hours behind its time, and consequently unexpected.
The courier aid postilions w. re thrown out, all severely
injured. Fournier was carried to the post-house, and
died in three days.
EASTERS COUNTIES' RAILWAY.—The Eastern
Counties' Railway winks, in the neiAhbourliend of
Chelmsford, are now assuming a gratifying and ani-
mated appearance. The viaduct across buke-strect is
progressing rapidly towards completi,,n,
and it series of
arches, extenuing frim thence towards the gigantic
bridge over the river Cann, are daily increasing in
number. Across the Cann the bridge, which will consist
of several archesabout 40 feet high, is in acorresponding
state of forwardness. At IV idlOrd con:tide, able progress
has been made in the deep -cutting which will be conti-
nued through the hill, which in some parts has been
already excavated to the depth of sev6nty feet. On
the embankment leading from the Chehner to the town
field,'workmen are busily employed in repairing the sub-
sidence which it had undergone during the late winter ;
and in a few days, we believe, the tipping of earth will
be recommenced at the extremity in the town field.
Both here and at Widford the earth-waggons are con-
veyed along the line by powerful ballast-engines, which
run both night and day, and we understand that an ad-
ditioni.l number of workmen are about to be emplfTed,
so that tio•re is e+ery row 011 to be icy. that the week..
(under Me,st s. the co:,irte. ;or) will be l r •-
becuted with the utmost vigour, and that an early com-
pletion of this great undertaking-may be looked forward
to.---Esser Mercury.

MOTS AT 31..ii\CiiiESTE14.

(From a Second Edition of the Manchester Guardian of
Wednesday Afternoon.) -
We resume and continue such an account as time and
the stare of the town permit us to make, of the proceed-
ings in Manchester during this day (Wednesday.)
At six this morning about 2,000 people assembled in
Granbyerow Fields. Mr. Cressley in the chair. When
our reporter arrived, Mr Doyle, a Chartist, was address-
ing the mettieg. Ile advised those who had tuined out
to go to the workhouse for eubsietence, rather than re-
turn to the mills, until the wages were raised. I advise
you, said he, when you leave this meeting, to walk in pre-
cession, and go peaceab y through the town. Take
especial cure not to countenance any man who tells you
to.brealla- the-pence; -Consider hint your enemy. Recollect,
the spies of 1816. 'know the Tory Got eminent so well
that I am. sure there life stone spies here now. I will
endeavour, as far as I am concerned, though I detest the
laws of this country, and abominate the law-makers, to
obey the law, until I have the power, in conjunction w ith
the working classes, to destroy bud laws and enact good
ones in their stead. I say to you, the power-loom weavers,
consider what you are to do now that you have turned
out. As Mr. Leech said, last night, out of a little
thing may come a great deal. What has occurred
convinces me that your numbers are not small, and if you
only behave as you have done you will achieve the
object you have in view.—(Cheers.) Mr. M`Carty.
an operative from Liverpool, next addressed the meeting.
He said the reduction of wages arose, not from the pre: -
sure of the times, but from the grinding and graspieg
avarice of the millowners. Having advised them not to
return to their work until their wages were advanced,
he moved that the meeting should form into uproces-
sion and go peaceably through the towns of Manchester
and Salford, for the purpose of getting together their
fellow-eperatives, in order that a general meeting might
be held at twelve, o'clock, for the purpose of fur ning a
decided, opinion as to their future proceedings. Mr.
Dixon seconded the resolution, and it was carried by ac-
clamation.
The meeting broke up about seven o'clock, the whole
of the crowd amounting, by that time, to upwards of
5,000 persons. Notice having arrived before. they left
the ground that a large mob had assembled near the fac-
tory of Messrs. Kenuedy and Co., without being able
to prevuil on them to stop, it was resolved io move off in
that direction. Having on-wed-In procession, they pro-
ceeded along Granby-row. In Massing near the Man-
chester and Sheffield Railway, they fore( d the labourers,
who were at work en the lime to throw down their wets
and go along with them. " No one," they said, " should
work till they had got their rights." On their way to
Aneoats-street, they sent a deputation to the factory' of
Messrs. Waterhouse and Thompson, Temple-street, de-
manditig Una the hands should be turnetteant which
waselime, and the greater number of them joined the
crowd. On making the seme demand at the factory of
Messrs. Barnes, Jackson-street, a refusal was, given at
first ; but, on their commencing to break a few windows,
the engine was stopped amid the cheers of tee mob.
The next resting-place of the crowd, which had now
swelled to nearly-10,000 persons, was in Anceats-street,
in the nt ighbourhuod of Messrs. liennedY's mill, a hich
was protected by Superintendent Cochrane and the C
division of police. Having placed fifty of the police
across the street, in such a manner as to prevent the pass-
it g and repassiug of any one, this led to a collision be-
te vett flit m and the mob ; stones were thrown, . and the
police, vi he, however, kept their ground manfully, eue-
eeedetlin keeping back tile crowd till a party of cavalry
arrived.
Shortly after eight a considerable number of the.mob
dispersed in various directions to stop the mills and other
public works in the different parts of the toe n. (Inc of
these divisions passed over Victoria-bridge at half-past
eight, and proceeded 'along Greetigate, Salt', rei, ordermg
alt the mills to turn out ; some of the masters conipied
with the a quest, and others kept theta at week till a
later hour in the day.
By nine o'clock imaily all the factories and public
works in the neighbou, toads of Oxford-read, Louden-
road, and Ancoais, had tinned out their hands In some
cases a deputation a aired on the manager of the mill or
factory, and told him that unless the engineiras imme-
diate lv stopped and the hands turned out, there might be
some *disturbance. The manager of the Oxford-road
Twist -Company, among others, adopted the • quiet
method, and gave over about nine o'clock. At the mill
of Mr. deems, Chester-street, a refusal having been given,
a crowd began to collect in front of the building, which
had the (greet of making them give way like -their neigh-
bours. Sever al attempts were made during the.morning
to stop Messrs. Birley's mill, Oxford-road, but without
effect. A party of police kept guard in the yard, and
prevented the entrance of any one from the crowd.
The mill of Messrs. Stirling and Beckton, Lower
Mosley-street, which suffered so severely on the previous
evening, was visited by several parties during the morn-
. ing, who called on the hands to come out and join in the
procession. Finding that there was no disposition to
comply with this request. the mob began to throw stories
at the windows of the mill, and also at the doors and
window-shutters of Mr. Becktou, the latter of which soon
became a total wreck.
The cavalry having arrived, they endeavoured to dis-
perse the rioters, who now became audacious, and there-
fore seemed disposed to resist for u while ; but, on the
soldiers drawing their swords and dashing into the midst
of them they fled in all directions. The Dragoons gal-
loped along Bridgewater-street and Albion-:trees after
the fugitives, and called .upon all weli-dispiised persists
to go home, few lice-ens seemed inclined to do.
Between ten and eleven t. clock it Tway ared
In trent cif Messrs. Sharp and Rob, Ils'S
Faulkner-sae-et, and made the men turn out. Tiley
teen went uleeg Peter-street. stopping a factory iii
South-street as they passed. In Deansgate they made
two or three teen turn out who WI re at with ill the
shop of Messrs. Thwart' and Atkinson, plumbers :old
gla&ers.
On reaching Blachfriars-stri the crowd, which had
greatly increased in milliners by this time, wilted down
.towards Saltbrd; but on their way, they drew up in
front of Missrs. Jerkin-en and Boa's machine shop, the
hands of which had refused to obey the dictation of a
small party which had passed over the bridge about an
hour previously, although the other mills in that street
bud tht n been stopped. Fluting knocked at the door of the
machine shop without ob.aining admissiee, they began
to throw stones at the windows, and. after 'breaking
nearly at hundred panes of .glace, the men were turned
eut amid the the ers of the crowd. They next visited
the works of Messrs. Salm( n rand Marsh lle, toolmakers,
Greengate; Mr. Makin's silk-winding shop, next door
to the lit d Lion lm u; Mr. Harding's tine:el-mill, Cr a-
nage street. Greengute, Mr. Butler's dye-w Green-
gate; and Acs-r,.. Eveleigh and Neat e's hat-nianutac-
o.ry , Greetie ate; and in every instance succeeded in
turning out the band•. In passing along Broughton-
rued one or two boys went into the shop of James
Faulkner, provision-dealer, and asked for bread. lie
gave tlieni a 411 e. loaf, which wits instantly torn to p;ecee
inn the crowd. There seemed at first an inclination
arming seine of the yoneger portion of the.crowd to envr
the shop, and see if r hey ceted nut get some more bread.
but the main body of the rioters forced them awry. ex-
claiming tout it would ruin their cause should they
i-gin to plunder. Hating proceeded us far as Breugh-
oin-bridge, they belted in front of Mr. Williams's
silk mill, having heard that there w•-re some hands
at work; but, en being assured that such was not
the case, they passed along Silk-street,— Hope-field,
Adelphi-street, across Broki In bank, into Oldfieid-road,
from which they announced their intention of making
their. way to Granby-row, to attend the meeting
hich was to take place there, as stated in the morning.
About a quarter-past twelve a body of between 300
and 400 people, including many boys and young men,
came suedenly into Princes-street, and a 'mintier of
them, in passing, entered the shop of Mr. John Howarth,
fruiterer and provision dealer, and demanded sonic bread.
Mr. Howarth thought it prudent to comply with their
demand, and gave them five 41b. loaves, with which they
appeared to be satisfied. Meanwhile some one had
hastened to the Police-office with the information, and
Inspector Irwin arrived there with a body of the police
before the men had qu'Ated the premises, and succeeded
in capturing seven of them, who were promptly con-
veyed to the New Bailey, and safely lodged there. On
this, us eu formcr occasions, threats were heard on the
part of the mobs in more than one street, that at Light
(Wedieeday MOO they would have the prisoners out
(if the New Bailey. We may add here, that the num-
ber of prisoners conveyed there previous to nine o'clock
this morning was twenty-sevens ; there were-fifteen con-
veyed there in the forenoon bout Msars. Stirling and
Beekton's, Liner -street, and probably a dozen
ur hone troth other quarters ; so that there are between
fifty and sixty- persons lodged there at •he time we are
writing this (tau o'clock.)
InfOrmation having reached the Police -„Rice that it
was intended to demolish the Lock-up ut Newtown, u
strong holy of police was promptly dispatched thither ;
but before they could reach the place, a disiancv of con-
siderably more than a mile from the roio•-office, the
work of destruction had been completed. From what
we can learn, the rioters commenced about a quarter
past twelve o'clock, by throe ing stones ut the Ltck-up,
which is a small building, formerly
tered so as to 'leen a pol,ifebesytastii,::nn, saovverita3l,
are generally- on duty. steered into
the premises, and very spec dily demolishe-d the. furni-
ture. They then tore down doors, window-frames, the
tams of the roof, and we are assured by an eye-witness
that in ten minutes the place was almost literary levelled
with the ground.
Shortly afterwards a repoit reached the Police-office
that the same body of men intended to attack the Man-
chester Gas-works, at Newtown ; and about half-past
twelve a strong body of the police was dispatched thither.
We understand that the gas-works had become an object
of attack from the circumstance that smne of the rioters.
who had been captured by the police, had been conveyed
there fiir safety ; and the mob expressed a determina-
tion to rescue tine prisoners. Since w thing the. above,
we leans that the attack was made ; the u, b speedily
hirced open the doors of the gas-works, brok e to o or
three windows, and did some other damage, but not
to any considerable extent. They found 'the two
prisoners, of whom they were in search, in the
custody of three policemen. They b--at the policemen
severely, and rescued the prisoners. From an eye-wit-
ness, who was on the spot shortly afterwards, we learn
that about half-post one o'clock there enuld not be fewer
than 8,000 or 10,000 people in the neighbourhood. The
Dragoons were galloping about with drawn satires, driv-
ing the people back. Strong bodies of the police and the
60th Rifles were keeping the ends of the streets in sari
ous directions, to as to prevent the mob pawing ; and
this was the state of things in the streets fur about half
a wile round the gas-works iu all direCtions:
Another report, brought to the Police-office about the
same time, was that the rioters intended t visit the
Llvi-rpieil tu,if Jl tie:, r Lll l.11:iy (AO

the mob was coming, were engaged in putting ul3

The Mayor, Magistrates, together with 001:4
Wemyss, Sir Charles Shaw, and the Town•clerk
Magistrates' clerk, were assembled all the forenoon I
the Boroughreeve's room at the Town-hall, adjoininte
g
the Police-office ; and they determined to • summon tr
respectable inhabitants generally to enrol themselw,
as special constables. With this view they issucci
summons, signed by the Mayor, of which the follevililb
is a copy :
" The Magistrates request your immediate attendsl
at the Town-hall, to be sworn in as a special constable'
to assist in the protection of property, and the presell
ticn of the peace of the borough. _ _

Wm. NEILD, Mayor'
A number of copies of this having been made, ales
e
were dispatched with them into various districts of tyf
town; their instructions being to call at every housel
a respectable inhabitant, show him the summons, hi'
not leave it, and then proceed to the next house, and so al
Arrangements were made for swearing in the speci!:,
constables in the room of the Police Commissioners'"
the Town-hall.
We understand that the Magistrates are most an%t,115
that respect:l6le inhabitants, especially owners of P'
Fumy, should themselves come forward to be enrolled asi
special constables, as this would give considerable nwrs
influence and authority to the civil force. Gentleal
will, therefore, we have no doubt repair forthwith to !i'„
Town-hall, and give their assistance for the proteot"l7
of that property in which they are all deeply iuteres'
and for the preservation of the public peace.
At three o'clock 300 special constables were sworn tDe
and gentlemen were throngihg to the Town-hall for th°
purFose. Each special constable is distinguished by
white ribbon tied round the arm, above the elbow.
A strong force of the 60th Rules, together with
number of the police, have been drown up the grestes
part of the day near the mill of Messrs. Aurrity, Great
Anconts-street. . The other troops here are the
Dragoons. They are kept constantly in readiness, Oa
oor three tro. ps them, as will seen above, hat
already been actively. employed in driving buck lved
riotous assemblages from their work of destruction an
plunder.
'1 he Riot Act was read opposite Sterling and mat
ton's, Lover Mosley-street, by Daniel .Mande, Es(P
an early hour this morning. One of the borough ,
gistrates also read the Riot Act in the neighbourhood t'
the gas-works, at_the attack there.
