APPREHENSION OF TWO RINGLEADERS.

We understand that since Saturday night two of
the leaders in the proceedings which have caused such
disturbances in the town, Isaac Tinker and George
Seddon, have been apprehended. The warrant under
Which they were taken was granted on information
before Mr. D. Maude, statinr, that the prisoners, with
ethers, riotously, &c., assembled at the Hall of Science,
and then proceeded in a large body to Salford, where
they, remained for a long time, exciting each other to
breaches of the peace, and broke the windows of the
Adelphi printworks.
These apprehensions have been made under the
direction of Mr. Keswick, to whom has been given the
entire superintendence of the in .door arrangements,
Linder the direction of the Mayor and Magistrates.
We learn that on Saturday night the town was
Patrolled by the special constables ; who, although
hours,
fatigued from having been engaged twenty-five
,nnurs, discharged their duties most efficiently. Mr.
15eswick had only been three hours and a half off duty
since Tuesday morning.
The following are the particulars of the appre-
hension of these men, which we obtained from an eye-
Witness of the affair :

It having come to the knowledge of the authorities
that at the meeting held at Carpenters'-hall on Fri-
(l43r a person named Isaac Tinker, a dyer by trade,
ho was elected Chairman, had used language of a
Zong description, and had recommended those whom
was addressing to go to the Adelphi printworks,
I)alford, and turn out the hands who were working
there. That after the meeting had adjourned they
'1 pioceeded towards the Adelphi ; that Tinker ap-
Peared to have the command and marshalling of
4.the men ; and that a person named George Seddon
")0, k a most active part-in demanding that the -hands
should come ' out ; warrants were' issued for the
apprehension bf"these,, two individuals, and placed
14 the hands of ltir. Superintenderit:Beswick for exe-
tfption. Mr. Beswick having discovered their resi..
lelices, proceeded about half-past one o'clock on Sun-
dy morning, accompanied by the whole of the first
Lyision of constables, to the house of Tinker, which ,
situate in Silver-street, Hulme. Having sur-
rounded the house, they succeeded in taking him into
p 11113tody ; and when the charge against him was stated,
~_e did not deny the facts. They then proceeded,
bout three o'clock in the morning, to a house in '
Zeit Queen-street; in search of Seddon. Having
enttqunded this house, and knocked at the door for a
,:llsiderable time, they obtained admittance, and sue-
tv`ecied in discovering Seddoa's sleeping-room. He
ss not there ; but Mr. Beswick, observing that the
inflow was open, jumped through into the yard ;
Zd after getting over two small houses found the
Prisoner concealed in a building- containing a great
quantity of ashes. Mr. Beswick pulled him out; and
ghe moment he was upon the ground, he seized Mr.
eswick by the throat, and became very violent.
