METROPOLIS.

On Saturday night, after the arrival of the artillery
at the Euston-square station, the third battalion of the
first Regiment of Foot Guards arrived, consisting of
700 men, under the command of Colonel Honeyman.
On coming in sight they were received with groans
and shouts by the assembled crowds, and an attempt
was made to prevent them entering the gates, the mob
at the same time attempting to force an entry into
the gates.

AI half-past eleven o'clock, the first train, consisting
of the horses, cannon, &c., was sent off, a sufficient
number of men going with it to prevent an attack on
arriving at, its destination. In a quarter of an hour
after the, other train started, AN h.cli contained the
Guards and Artillerymen, amid the hootings of the
mob. Several well known delegates to the late Na-
tional Convention left London early on Saturday
afternoon for IV anchester.

It was reported that the railways were in course of
being broke up, the Manchester and Bolton being
nearly destroyed.

Yesterday forenoon at nine o'clock, three pieces of
cannon, in addition to those forwarded the previous
day, were sent by the railway with the compliment
of men, eight officers of the Royal Horse Artillery,
which left -Woolwich about six o'clock the same morn-
ing. During the afternoon, it having been reported
that a regiment of foot was to go by the railway,
the street in front of the station was again thronged,
and by six o'clock the crowd had increased
to about 5,000 persons. At that time the 34th
Regiment, under th.- command of Lieutenant Colonel
Grey, arrived at the' station, when they were imme-
diately admitted into the quadrangle. Several of the
mob shouted and groaned as the last company,of the
Regiment entered the gate. Tns.pector Belle, with a
strong body of the S division, assisted to keep a space
open for the admission of the regiment', 'Which left
Portsmonth that day, having been brought to town
by the South Western Railway. The regiment
arrived from, Canada about a twelvemonth ag-0.. • The
men, previous to their departure for—Manchester,
were served with bread and cheese and porter
crl libitum.'

A PROCLAMATION.

VICTORIA, 11.
Whereas in divers parts of Great Britain, great
multitudes of lawless and disorderly persons have
lately assembled themselves together in It. riotcus and
tumultuous manner, and have, with force and violence,
entered into certain mines, mills, manufactories, and
other places, and have, by threats and intimidation,

following their usual occupations and earning their
livelihood.

We, therefore, being duly sensible of the mischiev-
ous consequences which must inevitably ensue, as well

resolved to cause the laws to be put in execution for
the punishment of such °Tenders, have thought fit, by
the advice of our Privy Council, to issue this Procla.;

mentioned.

And, as a further inducement to discover the said
offenders,- we do hereby promise and declare, that any
persons or persons who shall discover and apprehend,
or cause to be discovered and aprehended, the
authors, abettors, or perpetrators of any of the out-
rages obove-mentioned, so that they, or any of them,
may be duly convicted thereof, shall he entitled to
the sum of Fifty Pounds for each and every person
who shall be so convicted, and shall also receive our
most gracious pardon for the said offence, in case the
