tesford, near Behuir Castle, on Saturday evening last, between eight
and nine o'clock, by e report that four children had been immersed in,
the cistern of r privy, in dt ! yard of the Bull inn. Persons of all desi
scriptions were running in breathless haste to the spot ; parents were;
anxiously inquiring for their children, mothers almost frantic. The
report proved to be too correct ; the children were immediately taken
out, and the attendance of surgeons procured, who declared them to
have been dead some time, horn the effect of suffocation. Their bodies
were cold, and presented an awful sight, which proved to be thaw of
four females, all about the age of nine ; one the daughter of Mr.
David Doc, the landlord ; one the daughter of Mr. Geeson, grocer,

LANCASTER HERALD, AIAT 7.
General Oascoigr.e. on arriving in tivernool, was so obnoxious. that
lie could not appear any where. On :Sunday he expected protection In
the day, and went to thc Town-hall, In Mr. Alderman Leyland's car-
riage, for the purpose of walking with the Mayor and Corporation to
St. George's Church. On Ids arrival be was diem() by a few of his
friends, who recognised his person. As soon n% the fact became known
that the general was in the ball, the crowd increased until the whole of
Exchange-street West was filled, not with the rabble, but with respee.
table looking men. Mr. Ald. Wright, just htfore the civic procession
issued fret u the west door of the ball, came oat on the steps, and es.
honed, we arc informed, the friends of General Garcoyne not, on that
sacred clay, to raiw. any shout for the ;saner:A. hoping, at the same time,
that his opponents, if any were present. would not tlesecrote the Sab-
bath, by any expressions of dislike. The proctssioa had just reached
do, o seer of Castls-strets, when the crowd com.-eoced hissing and
haulm' the general, which bis partiseus answered Ity elhars. These
mark, t.f favour and dislike were continued until thc procession entered
the church. In ihe interval between the commencement and the co's
elm ion of Divine service, the crowd had Increased to several thotoacdia,
and it became evident. that thc gallant general would again become the
object of palmist hostility. A+ 60.114 as he quitted the sanctuary, groans,
ititt.t, :tad other sign of disapprobation towards hint, broke
from the dense crowd. which is desciihed to us as having been
" the most respectable molt ever seen in the streets ol Liver-
pool." The general's friertis answered the cells of the multitude
by repeated burns ; but their voices were drowned in the hisses
anti hooting,' of bit onoonents. Amidst this scene of oproar,
which is without a parallel in the annals of Liverpool, parts, feclinri
having been els ays restrained no the Sabbath, Gen. Gaatatyne entered
the Town-hall, by the Trea,urcr's door. How to get him out of the
building ;tow became the point for consideration. A stratagem was re.
sorted tn, to facilitate his escape. Thc.constables acre ordered to make
demonstratiou on the cast side to char the way for him, as it' he in-
:coiled to come out there, whilst he made his retreat through the west
door, at here Ica people were assembled, and drove off in a friend's pew
rings ! The crowd thus foiled in their object, dispersed. I

dlr. Heywood was welcomed with a long and deafening peal of aes
clamationt —and the procession moved slowly onward, inspilital by the
glorious air of " Sec the conqucrim; Hero comes," towards the " gudc
auld town," which has lately done itself such unexainpleti hocoor.
Every house in the streets through which he passed was crowded with
spectators—laurel leaves and branches, (appropriate symbol%) Sine
ribbons, shawls, scarfs, and hantlkerchiefa., of all shades. sizes,
anti denominations, were waved with evident signs of delight ; and the
scene was one of the most incorecivable animation.
ROCHDALL.—Monday last, being the monthly market at Rochdale,
usually called " the great Monday," it was resolved that Mr. Hay.
wood should avail himself of the opportunity for addressing the free.
holden and other persons who were likely to be assembled on that

an open carriage, drawn by four horses, and was accompanied by
Shakspeare Philip s, Esq. John Kennedy, Esq. and Dr. le P. Kay.
At each of the different villages ors the road, roil especially at Mid-
dleton, large runilters of people were assembled, and greeted Mr.
Heywood with loud and Lei:risk't cheers us he passed along. On
:arriving within about a mile end a half of Rochdale, Mr. Heywood
was met by a nunilser of gendemen oil horseback, who preceded the
carriage on its route towards the town. After going ahem half
a mils further, the road was found to be lined with u dense crowd of
people, extending all the way to the centre of the town, who all took off
their hats and greeted Mr. Heywood with loud diem as soon as he
made his appearance. At the church stile, a very good halal of
rusic was stationed, who struck up " Stx ;the conquering hero
comes," as 60011 as tie carriage passed. On arriving in the town
'crals: numbers of people were assembled in the streets; mid whoa
Dlr. Ilsywood alighted at the Roebuck Inn, the street was Mind
for a considerable distance by a crowd, amounting to at least six trot
seven thousand persons. At the Roebuck, Mr. Heywood was received
by the committee appointed to conduct the canvass of the fre'uohltrs
in that neighbourhood, and, after a. short conference with him, re.cn. '
tercel his carriage from which he addressed the assembled multitude at
some length, and was thtougliout his speech received with the most
unequivocal marks of approbation. .

rassing Lancaster on Tuesday, Mr. Heywood set out on WerinciaLy
morning for Preston, where lie was also extremely well received,
though a few of the people, having their own electioneering politics
predominant in their minds, cried out, " Hunt for ever." Fro. t Pres.
ton, Mr. neywood proceeded to Chorley, where he was received is
the most erthusiumic manner, mid where the freeholders, almost
without exception, had pledged themselves to vote io his favour.
—After addressing the people of Charley, he proceeded to Wi.
gan, where thc people drew his carriage. into the town, scup ho

stage tl e enthusiastic and nobounded acelaniatiors of die people, anti
the most flattering promises of anpport from the freeholders. In this
way Mr. Heywood was received throughout the county.
The well.inown adage of os seeding coals to Newcastle" has at
length been verified. A shipload of Yorkshire coals was sent frgre
Goole last week to Newcastle, to supply the pressing wants of the
t.e.,ple of that town, occasioned by the long strike of the colliers ia that
teighbourhood.
