THE REFRACTORY corroN SPINNERS

PRIVATE LETTPR FROM MANCHESTER, SEPT. 2.
This town has been in a sail state of confu-
sion to-day. In the forenoan, numerous bodies
of the retiactoiy Cotton Spinners, according to
their daily custom, assembled about the factory of
Messrs.' Gray and Co., near Aticuat's-ori•et, for
the purpose of preventing any one going to work
there, Whilst parading round the factory, about
noon, the Spinners assert, that.stoates were thrown
at them front the interior of the mill. How far
this assertion is true, and Whether' it 'be not a re-
port made by the Spinners to jostify their pro-
ceedings, l cannot asCertain.• They, however,
began to demolish the eviudows of the factory,
and broke numbers of them', a endeavonued
to force their way into the mill, by break- ,
ing open the gates anti !never windows. The .
persons in the_ inside, who awe armed, be-
ing alarmed for their own safety, as their lives
would be in great danger •if the assailants succeed-
ed in entering the trill, fired upon them front
windows. Several of the mob were -everely
wounded ; the number Is not known, but it is
generally stated As being shout six or seven ; four
have heen brought to the Infirmary, dangerously
wounded, one of them mortally in the groin.—
Another report says, he died almost immediately.
‘"flie mob was repulsed by this spirited con-
duct, and Messrs. Grey and Co. hire time to send
to the Magistraics, for assistance, who speedily
arrived with a party of dragoons and infantry.
The number of people then assembled was very
great, probably about 10 or l'2,00; some have
estirnated them at 30,000. The Riot Act was
read) and after the expiration of the hour, the
milititry dispersed the mob. I have not heard of
any one being hurt by the soldiers in performing
this duty.
" aspect of affairs in this town -.and pa-
pulotts neighbourhood dailybecomes more gloomy.
The principal part of the spinpers remaiti as oh-
' stinatz as ever. In addition 'o the Spinners,
the Weavers have now- " turned out," a. d they
parade the strtets in immense bodies of four or
five rhousa..d each. About five thousand were
assembled in St. George's-fi.ltl., at the time of
the attack upon Messrs. Gray and Co.'s factory,
but had no connection t5l h tbr mob. They car-
ried flags with inscriptions on them, that they
would have seven s-billings in the pound advance
in their wages. The Lincashire Weavers gene-
rally possess a mind fearless of the consequences
of any illegal acts they may he instigar, d to com-
mit ; and if they unite with the Spinners, im-
mense tuisehi4 may he committed by them.
" Already mitotters of petty shopkeepers, who
have dealt entirely with the working classes, are
almost rained. Landlorda can get ,no rents, and
dare nut distrait,.

" Persons at a distance can form no adequate
idea from the 'Manchester Newspapers of the
trius,ct ions in this town. It is generally RC-
limovt ledged that the Newspapers published here
give most imperfect accounts of what is daily oc-
curing. The Editors selcom give themselves the
trouble to collect the prtit tt ar,.. of any thing re-
mark,,nle in the town, but will either give a long
speculative opinion of their own on the subject, or
perhans'say nothing about it.
