MR. BIRCH.
;Ve h i received to-day accounts of as late a date
Menciay morning, which represent the wound of
E:Rcli as still wearing a favourable complexion.
.lanclicster Paper affirms what we hope is not
taut " the ball cannot be extracted." A York

. states, that " it is lodged between the lobes of
lungs, and that the surgeons are afraid of ex-
ing it."—Another man of the name of William
'son has been taken into custody, charged with
one of the persons concerned in the daring
; he has undergone several examinations, and
expected he will be committed for trial.

With rcvect to the extent of the conspiracy to
it the act, it appears that the report which we
yesterd ty is erroneous. The conspiracy
tiVe or fuurtcca persons there alluded to relates,
:ire assured, to a party of that number who had
themselves about three hours after BIRCII was

..vith the intention of rescuing the prisoner (Mr.
.r.isoN), who, it was supposed, would be removed
ttely.

The followin& is a more correct account than has

yet appeared of the original circumstances of this atro-
cious transaction:

Mr. Bra ' had passed through tbe great body
of the crowd without molestation, and had arrived
within thirty rds of the Rector's gate, when he was
accosted by either three or four others being
in company. Bruce requested to know where his ma;-
tct vas? Butcx replied, in my house, and he will
shortly be liberated. At this moment BIRCH appre-
' headed some evil design of the parties, and was in
the act of springing aside, as ice understand, when
he received the contents of a pistol, fired over the
left shoulder of Bruce, in the breast-bone.

" BIRCH being a muscular man, and possessing also
great strength of bones the ball did not enter by a
direct course, (in which case the wound would cer-
tainly have been mortal), but passed aslant and
lodged in or about the lungs. Conscious of the
wound, he sprang successively over the pallisadoes
encompassing the garden of Mr. LLOYD, ascended a
wall beyond them, and sprang from thence into the
premises of Mr. LANE, a cotton-spinner, a depth
of four yards and a half, in which place he was
first heard to call for help, exclaiming that he
was shot. Medical aid was immediately obtained,
and at his own express wish he was conveyed to his
father's house, in the Lower-Hill-gate, where he
now lies."
