tinued on duty till two, and a patrole during the night.
~ The examinations having finished about two
P. M. the mittimus of three offenders was made out,
and they were dispatched in chaises under a *strong
escort to the Castle of Chester, to take their trial at
the September Assize. The names of the prisoners
committed are—William Stall, Jolla Live y, and
John Jadaon. No sufficient evidence appearing
against the remainder, they were discharged on their
recognizances. The mob from this time began to
decrease ; about seven o'clock the Greys cleared the
streets, and from that time, we are happy to say,
the peace of the town has not been disturbed.
" We are now under the painful necessity of re-
cording the accidents which occurred. Of the Mac-
clesfield cavalry, two members were severely hurt;
Mr. Higginbotham, au Alderman of the Borough,
had his arm broken, and Mr. Grimsditch, solicitor,
received several contusions on the head; many others
were struck violently, but none dangerously wounded.
Of the rioters, one person, a woman, was unfortu-
nately trampled on, and her arm broken ; the pri-
soner, Stubbs, also received a deep gash in the head,
when in the act of violently assaulting Mr. Grinu-
ciitch.

THE KINGe..-His MAJESTY gains bodily strength
every day—he takes his meals regularly, assists in
dressing himself, and takes exercise in his rooms,
whenever he is disposed to walk t the range is exten-
sive, and the rooms extremely well aired. His IklA
JESTY is materially recovered in his erect posture, and
with his increase in size, appears nearly as well as he.
did two years since.
A most excellent sermon was preached on Sunday
last, by the Bishop 'A LONDON, for the benefit of the
Scots Hospital, at the parish church of St. Ann's,
boho. The Duke of CLARENCE, President of the
Corporation, and many other persons of distinction
were present, and a considerable collection was made
after the sermon. We have also the pleasure to
learn, that his Royal llighness is to take the Chair
at the spring festival of the Corporation on Saturday
next, at Freemason's Tavern ; and that a most nu-
merous and brilliant Company is then expected, as
daily experience evinces the increasing usefulness and
excellence of this charity.
Miss BURNEY, whose forthcoming novel (nuns

We last night received a regular series of Moniteurs
and other Paris papers to the 9th instant: They con-
tain no politizal news, except what has already been
published in the papers before received, being of two
days later date. The scarcity of provisions in France
is rendered evident by a Decree published in The
lifoniteur of the 270; ultimo; directing a gratuitdus
daily distribution of '2,000,000 rations of soup, to be
allotted amongst the different departments in propot-
tion to their wants, and exclusive of the ordinary aid
afforded to the indigent class, and for this purpose
placing at the disposal of the prefects the sum of
22,50(1,000 francs.

We have already given the. particulars bf the at.
tack upon Mr. Cartwright's cloth-mill, at Rawfordss
about eight miles from Leeds, and now subjoin the
sequel of the narrative of that sanguinary conflict.
extracted from The Leeds Merrurst of Saturday last :
44 On the cessation of the firing, the ears of the
guards were assailed with the cries of two unfor-
tunate men, weltering in their blood, and writhing
under the torture of mortal wounds For GODra
sake," cried one of them, • shoot me—put me out of
my misery 1'..40h!' cried the other, • help ! help !
I know all, and I will tell all.' On the arrival of
a detachment of the Queen's Bays, which took
place about an hour after the attack commenced,
the men were removed 'on litters from' the field
to the Star inn, at Roberttown, and medical • aid
was called in with all possible dispatch. One of
them proved to be a cropper, named Samuel
Hartley, formerly in the employment of Mr. Cart-
wright • a young unmarried man, about 24 years of
age, and a private in the Halifax Local Militia, in
which regiment Mr. Cartwright is a Captain. The
other was John Booth, a youth about 19 son of a
Clergyman in Craven, and apprentice to Mr. V 4 right,
of Huddersfield, tanner. Hartley bad reteived a
shot in his left breast,. apparently while making a.
blow at some part of the mill, which passing through
his body, lodged beneath the skin at the left shim!.
der, from whence k was extracted with a portion of
bone. In this situation he languithed till about three
on Monday morning, when he expired. Booth's
wound was in his leg, which was shattered almost to
atoms • it was found necessary to have the leg. am.
puuted, but, owing to extreme loss of blood before
the surgeons arrived, spasms came on during the
, operations, and he died about six o'clock on Sunday
morning, having previously observed, that ilia should
recover, " he would never be brought into such a
scrape again."—On Monday a Coroner's Inquest re-
turned a verdict of "Justifiable Homicide."
" On tit.: morning after the engageinent a number -
of hammers, axes,. false keys and picklocks, with two
masks, a powder-horn, and a bullet-mould twee
found upon the field,'which was stained in several
places with blood: and it is evident that many others
besides those left on the field were wounded, as traces
of gore were distinctly narked in almost every direr.
Lion, and in one place to the distance of 4 miles."
