be held in the Granby-row-fields, there was an im-
posi4- -array of military force collected opposite St.

large kletachment of -Rifles and the 58th Regiment.
They .went through the disturbed districts and made
an efficacious display ; but there was no attempt at a
Meeting.
It being feaied that another attempt would be made,
at four o'clock a much more imposing force, consist-
ing, in addition to the above, of four hundred police
and special constables, went down to Granby-row-
fields; but-there being no opposition they marched on-

FURXHER PARTICULARS.

MANCHESTER, MONDAI.—The town has been
eaceable throughout the night, and the meeting at
L'Air o'clock went off quietly. It appears that its ob-
jects were to decide upon what steps should be taken
to-day in different parts of the town, but the only re-
)lotion of which knowledge has been obtained, is the
.strong recommendation of the different trades to ad-
here to their determination not to work under the
"Itandard wages of 1840. At five o'clock two depu-
tations waited on Captain Sleigh, the Assistant Corn-
• illlissioner of Police, with a request to be allowed to
/TM two meetings, at Campfield and Carpenters'
i„,,a,. He referred them to the Queen's proclamation
"11,'"' issued, informing them that if they did so it
"la be- at their peril. No official accounts were
ecei ved at the Town-hall during the night, but
