violence either upon him or his house, as. the
masters had a great number of men watching
and in arms about the house. Under this im-
pression the weavers determined not to offer him
any violence. Very large bodies of men, how-
ever, assembled in different parts of the townond
annoyed the constables and other persons who
were parading the streets, by loud and continued
huzzas, during the whole of the night.
The same night, three men, who had been
appointed by Mr. Rvcroft fo watch a wheat-
field, near Barebones, in consequence of part of
the wheat having been stolen, being alarmed by
overhearing some men pass near them, fired their
pieces, upon which the persons who were pass-
ing set up a loud cry for assistance, and imme-
diately a large body of men came from the com—
mon. Having mustered their strength, they
proceeded to the place from whence the guns had
been fired, surrounded the three watchers, and
disarmed them ; but, upon their begging for
mercy, the men left them in possession of their
arms, with the exception of one gun, which they
broke across the fence.
- On the following night five men, of the names
of Josiah and Edgar Hyde, Joseph Jagger,
George Stubbs, and James Ellis, were taken
into custody by a munber of constables and sol-
diers, oh a charge of having been concerned in
the above assault. We understand that the per.
sons in custody give the following account of this
affair :—They say that, on Wednesday night,
they were attracted from their houses by the re-
port of fire-arms, and cries of murder, and groans
were distinctly heard, as if some persons were
dying. They proceeded to the spot from whence
these sounds appeared to come, and they there
found three tnen, who had been appointed to
watch. Mr. Rycroft's wheat, whom they described
as having been in a state of intoxication. They
inquired what was the matter, and told them I
what they had heard. One of the watchers re-
plied that his comrade Totn had proposed to
make those noises, merely to create an alarm, for
a spree. Upon that they (the men in custody)
returned home, but left a considerable number of
men on the spot, who remonstrated with the
watchers, and appeared not to be satisfied with
the account they gave, because they really thought
some person had been murdered. They also
heard, as they were leaving the place, some of the
men whom they had left behind say to the
watchers that they deserved their pieces (guns)
breaking over their heads. They were continu-
ing their road home, when they met with a
woman lying in a state of insensibility on the
ground, who had fainted from apprehension for
her husband's safety ; on, which they raised her
up, and carried her home, and they did not
know what took place afterwards, - except from
rumour.

The five persons charged with the assault upon
the men in Mr. Itycroft's field were also set at
liberty, on a pledge of appearing to answer any
charge that might be preferred against them.

. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET.-Sept. 11.
There is a large supply of Wheat here to-day, both from
the farmers and up the river; the best dry samples of
New go off slowly at a decline of Bs. per quarter, and the
damp and middling sorts are heavy a tle, at a reduction of
10s. per (porter ; many of the millers have a little Old
Wheat on hand, and buy spatingly of this sort, at a de-
cline of 4s. per quarter. Oats are very dull sale, and ra-
ther lower. Good hard Beans support the quotations.
The weather was tolerably fine until Tuesday evening,
when we hail much rain. Wednesday was fine, but rain
came on in the evening, and continued, with little inter-
mission until about four o'clock this morning. Most of
the Wheat in this neighbourhood is secured, but a consi-
derable quantity in very middling condition. The greater
part of the Barley is cut, but very little is yet h.used.

Old Wheat obtained nearly the same prices as last day on

fault being rather damp—the top is 48. up—average down

On Thursday, two other men, of the names
of Bailey and Bramah, imitated the conduct of
Sc.irgill, by each of them taking out a piece from
Messrs. Tees, at the reduced prices. This caused
a large number of the weavers to assemble round
the house of Ridley, in Wilson's Piece, where
they manifested their indignation by every means
in their power, shOrt of an attack, though he was
protected by several of Messrs. Tee's warehouse-
inen, who were soon afterwards joined by Mr.
Wm. Tee.

A meeting was held, about three o'clock, on
Market-hill, at which William Ashton was
Chairman. The meeting was addressed by
Frank Mirfield, Samuel Hoyle, Win. Richards,
Patrick Flanigan, and T. Kelly. The same
resolution, that has been several times come to
before, viz., that they were determined not to
work for a farthing less than the old list, was the
only one proposed ; and the speakers severally
urged the necessity of continuing to resist any
reduction, and the determination to do so was
manifested by all of them, as strongly as at any
former meeting.
Patrick Flanigan produced a list of prices,
which lie said contained the reduced prices,
which were very different from the list which we
published in the Leeds Mercury of last Satur-
day ; and which, list was received from one of
the manufacturem.
It is impossible to describe the feeling of in-
dig,uation which manifested itself among the
weavers at the sight of the list now produced ;
and after Flanigan had named a few of the re-
ductions, the list was torn in pieces. A com-
plains was made by Patrick Flanigan that the
Leeds Intolligencor had inserted almost every
thing that was said at the Police Office, oti !
Monday, except what was said in favour of the I
weavers, which had bEen omitted.
During the evening the house of Railey was
several times surrounded and attacked by parties
of men, the windows were all broken, in conse-
quence of .whiPh the men who were guarding the
house fired into the air, in order to C 1114413 thg
mob to disperse ; but as they still continued to at-
tempt further outrage, the men fired a second
ti:ae, and part of the shot went through the win-
dow of a house nearly opposite, and struck, and
slightly wounded in the head, a fine boy, about
eight Years of 4go) athe name of Terry. The
mob was then dispersed, and the constables and
soldiers, headed by Captain Slade, continued to
