" PUBLIC NO fICE AND CAUTION.

" NEW BAILEY COURT-HOUSE, STH MAY, 1529.
" Whereas the most daring Riots have existed in the
Town of Manchester during Monday, the 4th day of May
instant, and the same have been continued almost without
intermission, and do still prevail to an alarming and dan-
gerous extent, and the most atrocious acts of violence and
destruction have been committed agsinst the persons and
property of individuals, Notice is hereby given, that, for
the immediate suppression of these unlawful and auclaeions
procedings, the Magistrates acting for this Division have
foun I it necessary to resort to the moat determined mea-
sures that may be by law; and, in order to guard all par-
ties from the consequences which may result from their
being concerned in any of the practices aforesa'd, the Ma-
gistrates hereby caution the inhabitants of Manchester, as
much as possible, to keep out of the public streets, and,
they earnestly recommend to all persons now assembled in
the streets to depart peacehly to their horneei.

In addition to the above particulars, we learn that the
Telegraph coach, on its way from Manchester through
Stockportlwas impeded, on leaving the latter town, by
an immense number of rioters, v..1a0 opened the doors of
the coach and dem4racled a.roney of the passengus,
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
TUESDAY MORNING, EIGHT O'CLOCK.
The night has passed away in quietness ; it has Wen
cold and wet, and the morning is the same. he streets
ate pretty free from crowds, and every thing indicates that
the storm has spent its fury, and is, for the present, ex-
hausted.

TEN O'CLOCK,

Ancoats.street, Oldham-road, and Swan-street, are
again filled with people. They have, for the last hour,
been begging bread at the bakers' shops. At Mr. Lee's
they got all they asked for, and he contrived to get his
shutters up, and his doors closed ; but Mr. Johnson, a
little nearer New Cross, was not so fortunate, I went

into his place, and Wag CO:lyming with him. Several men
and women were in the shop, to whom lie was serving out
bread as fast as he could cot it; the number ia:cau,'
greater, the solicitations more earnest, until they assun ed
the tone of demand. " Give me one," said a voung lad ;
—a brown loaf was handed to him. " That's a
shame," said a tall pale woman, in a blue cloak anti black

bonnet—" that's a
under his jacket, and went away. A loaf of similar qua-
lity was offered to a woman, who had hem clamorous.
" I'll mit have that," sire said, " give us as n•cod as w,
used to buy from you--as good as we used to get for
nymey? we have no money now, but we must have
bread;" then, heaving a sigh, she continued,. " ...11v hus-
band has been out of work 16 weeks, and we cannot Bern
no longer." A general rush into ti ,e shop r MAY tote!:
Bacon, bread, every thing that was eat 11)10 prat, . ~ was
in a few minutes carried away. They came in like
hungry wolves to a carcass, nod, when all was swept Oil,
they began to rob each other. The girls, were robbed Irs'
the voting men, and they screamed, struggled, and foug:,t,
like furies, with their hair around their bosoms, and their
caps',.rent into shreds. The boys were ai,ain robbed by the
more powerful men, and the scene was one of the inosa
awful and pitiable description. All the slips in the im-
mediate neighbourhood have participated, lucre or lets, in
similar losses. The mob appear wild and ravenous., and
as ungovernable as the vast main. The men are sweirim,
the women clamorous for food for their children, awl the
boys and girls take every thing they wish to eat.
•

ELF.VEN O'CLOCK.

The constables, suported by a &tat:lnvent of tliv
stream Guards, have now arrived at the scene of LetiOD ;
the former are stationed at the top of Shude-hill, the
fatter under the piazza in the New Markel-. The mul)
have attacked the bread-shop of Mr. Sykes, in St. George's.
road. Mr. Sykes fired a blank shot through th
window, and immediately his premises were broken
and all his shop-stuff carried away. Another portion of
the inch took the route by New Islington, levying coima-
butions at the public-houses, shops, and the dwellings of
respectable people. Another body went down Shod;-hilt
in a similar manner, and penetrated to HatOng-ilitch rod
Long Mill-gate. All the thieves in the town are now in
requisition, and it is said, they have even commenced their
operations in Salford, and that like outrages ate tieing
there perpetrated. In fact, the upper parts of the -(own
are overawed, and some of the lower and more southern
districts are infested by bands of plunderers. The public-
houses are closed, and the shops shut up in the greatest
part of the town.

TNVELVE O'CLOCK

Mr. Foster, the Magistrate, escorted by a sin ll p srty
of the sixth Cirahineers, has come to the ground, awl tl:p
Riot Act has been read. None of the rioters have hiptt
taken to-day. The soldiers are now clearing the street,.

TWO O'C LOC K.

The contributions are still carried on by small partie4
detached from the great mob in Swan and Ancoat-streets.
None of the rioters have been taken to-lay. Aiwut
o'clock a cart-load of bread was seized and appro;,ri tted
by the mob at New Cross. The shop of Mr. Viet,lier,
bread-baker and grocer, is now surrounded. lie iii inst
fired a blank discharge from his chamber window. Tllo
constables—armed with cutlasses and pistols, and sup-
ported by a recruiting party—are advancing and scourin,cr
the streets ; the day is dark and cold, with heavy soaking
rain ; the market is bad, people are spiritless, and seriouu.
ness isdepicted in every countenance.

FOUR A.M.

Mr. Foster, the Magistrate, and a party of Drag-ming,
are now proceeding towards New Cross, the neigh))
hood of which is still crowded with an immense nml
A number of prisoners have been secured, and cnnreyed to
the New Bailey.

FIVE O'CLOCK.

Multitudes still crowd Ancoats-street, Swan-street, and
Oldham-road. The shops and public-houses are closed.
The mob have separated, and are now acting in detach-
ments. One has visited Faulkner-street, another Deani-
gate, and they have actually made their appearance in St.
Ann's-square. Those wbo are now marauding appear to
be chiefly young thieves, with a liberal mixture of woolen
and a few men of mature age. Their plan is to go and ash
for relief, which, .if they do not obtain peaceably, they
demand, and receive that from fear, which they could not
obtain from charity. Nineteen prisoners have been taken,
and are now in the New Bailey. The whole town is in
a state of alarm, and the fallowing hand-bill is posted on
the walls:—
PUBLIC NOTICE.—SPECIAL CONSTABLES.

The Magistrates, and the Boroughreeve and Constables.
most earnestly desire that all the tespectable inhibitants oL
the town and neighbourhood will apply at the Town-hall,
this evening, as early as possible, in order to be sworn in
as Special Constables, and to co-operate with the Civil and
Military Power in the preservation of the public peace.
For the accommodation of such persons as may not be
able to attend at the Town-hall this evening, one of the
Magistrates will be in attendance to-morrow morning, at
nine o'clock.
Tuesday, May 5.

HALE-PAST SEVEN.

The mob left Ancoats-street and the adjoining passages,
and collected at the manufactory of a Mr. Parker (cousin
to the other Messrs. Parker), situate in New Town. This
place they attacked with atones, and were about setting
tire to it, but the dragoons arrived and prevented them,
by dispersing them in all directions. 1 have not yet beard
of any person receiving an injury. Mr. Foster, Mr. La-
vender, and the civil and military power, are now parading
Swan-street. The upper part of the town is in a com,
plete tumult, and what seems strange, the bells of the Col.
legiate Church are ringing a merry peal, as if to persuade
people, contrary to the evidence of their senses, that
" nothing is amiss."

The fuilowing hand-bill is now exhibited on the walls :

THE RIOT ACT.

Public notice is hereby given that it is not necessary to
read the Riot Act before dispersing a meeting engaged in
any open act of violence, or in any illegal purpose what-
ever.

Town hall, 5 p.m. Tuesday, May 5.
Another is in the; press, informing the inhabitants 0.-,at
the Riot Act has been read, and that, if more tha.P. twelve
remain assembled, they will be guilty of felony.

No alteration since my last date—Pibe streets are still
crowded, and the Authorities on the alert.

Baron BuLow, the Prussian Minister, had
a long interview with the Earl of ABERDEEN yesterday,
at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
M. BERMUDEZ, the Spanish Minister, transacted bus;ness
with the Earl of ABERDEEN yesterday.

Despatches were sent off yesterday evening
from the Colonial-office, Downing-street, for Sir FREDI:-
RICK ADAM, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonisn
Islands, and Sir G. DON, the Lieutenant-Governor of Gili_
raltar,

Sir G. MURRAY entertained the Cabinet
Ministers to dinner yesterday evening, at his residence in
Whitehall-place.

Sir EVAN MACGREGOR was present at the
King's Levee and Drawing Room.

His MAJESTY has been graciously pleased to
make inquiries respecting the Prince DE Pout: x.‘t.'s
health, which, we are happy to say, is much improved.
The general and sincere marks of public interest shown to
the Ambassador of his moat Christian ALursTy (for all
the other members of the Royal Family have repeatedly
and most anxiously sent to inquire after his health) must
have been most gratifying to his Excellency, and to the
Princess, who, in the midsts of danger and anxiety, has
been indefatigable in her attendance upon her husband and
her four sick children --Morning Paper.
COVENT..(IARDEN THEATRE,-MiSS FORDE
last night made her first appearance as Oberon, in WEBER'S
Opera of that name, and went through the part with much
spirit and judgment. She is a very promising young lady*
both as an actress and a singer. BIIARAM'S Sir /lawn
was exactly as usual. After the play, a new farce, entitled
Master's .Rival, was brought forward, and received with
approbation. We were glad to perceive that the house was
fully and fashionably attended.

Mr. ROBINS has just put forth a Catalogue
Raisonne of the Pictures of the late vent rable President of
the Royal Academy, BENJAMIN WEST. These Pictures
are of various excellence, including Lindscapes,
rival and Epic Paintings,—more especially that fine and,
in its line, unequalled production, "Death on the Pale
Horse." The Exhibition is, we understand, very attra3-
tire : it is of first-rate merit.

CATHOLICS IN PARLIAMENT.-CITY OF
WATeurottp.—We hear with much pleasure that it ie the
intention of the highly accomplished citizen of NVatetford,
l'ar, THOMAS Warn, jun., to offer himself to represent his
native city, in the event of a vacancy. We need not say
that, in 'common with every friend to Iteland, we would
regret the retirement of that incorruptible L shoran, Sir
Joins NEWPORT; but if such an event occur, Mr. WYSE
will nor, we venture to say, be unmindful of the examp'e
of his predecessor.--Dliblill JOIL.
