THE RIOTS.

We have below selected all the farther Pertictt•
tars which have transpired relative to the eventful
history of yesterday, but previous to coming to
that narrative, it is necessary for us to re-insert
what appeared in our later Editions of THE Surf,
and correct those errors which the state of things
rendered unavoidable.

In the first place, it appears that our Reporter
was wrong in mentioning Mr. Parkes as the per-
son who addresser; the mob from the waggon
is
Spa-fields. That person did not attend the Meet-
ing, and an apology is what we freely offer for the
mistake which implicated hint in the atrocities of
yesterday.

The 'ALA augments fearfully, and as night or
proaches the aspect of things is really distressing.
It is a source of assurance to many, that the eisergt
of our Rulers will be favoured by thc moonlight..°
