ANOTHER RIOT BY THE TURN OUT
SPINNERS AT OLDHAM.

We regret to state, that another riot of the mew serintis
dangerous Character, has taken place at the factory of Messrs. C.A.
hinge and Lancashire, of Oldham. We have received but a lola
and unsatisfactory account of the affair, but so far as we have heart:,
the following are the facts: about twelve o'clock un Monday a
great number of persons, turn-out spinners and others, assemblej
near the factory. and shortly afterwards nude an attack upon
the gate leading to the factory yard. In anticipation of tit, t
attempt, the gate had been barricaded as strongly as ca.
cumstances would permit, and the rioters were a long time bef.rt
they could effect an entrance. At length, however, by mean, af
crow-bars, and a large beam of wood,which they used as a hatterii,„
tam, they succeeded in forcing the gate. A large hotly of thein
entered the factory, where they seized all the work-people, a/ j
forced them out of the factory, but without committing Any seriula
violence upon their persons, and without doing ally serious in;uly
to the machinery.
When all the hands were driven out, they were collected h;
body, and marched ostler a soon guard of the rioters, about It, f
a mile Irons the factory, with what view, whether of cormuitri, g
violence upon them, or merely expelling them from the town, uu s
not appear; as their purpose, whatevLr it might be, was tritstraird
by Messrs. Caine and Lancashire, who collected some peisots
together and rescued the prisoners from the hands of the rioter,.
Yesterday application was made (in the absence (Attie Rev. does
Houtz, of Ilullinwood) to Mr. FOSTER our sitting Magistrate, h.:-
warrants against iiineteen of the rioters who w.f.: recognized, a.. 1
the warrants were granted.

DREAurUL rillE.
This morning, about four o cluck. or a little after, a dres,lfet
broke out in the premises of Mr. 11'i'hams, the ,ign of the Loath
and Horses, in Charles-street, Drury-lane, a street tilled, Irons
beginning to end, with families of the low Irish, consequently the
most serious anticipations prevailed in the minds of the it:habitants
of the result of the disaster. The entire back part tit the house was
tenanted-by poor people, who slept two or three in a room, and
when the fire was raging, a scene of distress amongst them took
place that baffles description—no less than eleven women in a state
of nudity were seen at the windows at the Track of the house, and
the flamea spreading round them, shrieking fur assistance from the
neighbours; while in the front, Mr. and Mrs. Williams and their
family were with difficulty rescued frum the flames. At length a
large van was pulled under the back room windows, and a ladder
being placed in the bed of it, the poor creatures were, by dint of
perseverance, preserved from destruction.
The devouring element now began to assume a very frightful
aspect, and the whole of the house, which is very extensive; was in
'one mass of fire, spreading devastation on all sides. Suck was the
velocity of the flames, that all attempts to rescue any property from
the burning building proved fruitless, and therefore it was abaft-
doned, and ultimately engulphed in the conflagration. Nearly all
the Fire Office engines in the metropolis soon arrived on the spot,
sod were stationed about the fire, a plentiful supply of water was
served them from the main, yet they could not check the flames
which had now communicated to the workshops of Mr. Knight, in
the yard contiguous to the Coach and Horses; Mr. Knight is a
I carpenter, and his premises being well stored with vro,d, it was
thought that the whole of the range of workshops in the a and would
have suffered, but by the exertions of the men belonging to the
engines they were preserved, hut the house of ‘lr. Williams, to.
gether with all his household furniture and other property, have
been destroyed, as also the premises of Mr. Knight, the carpenter

Trim Coat. Tacna—A Itletting of the Coal Owners of the
Tyne was held at the Assembly !looms, in this town, on Saturday
last, R. W. BUNDLING, Esq. in the Chair. They resolved to co-
operate with the shipowners in their project to retard the selling
of coals in the London market, and for this purpose appointed a
Committee to proceed to the metropolis. Their expenses are to
he defrayed by a per centage on the coals wrought at each colliery.
They further resolved, " That in order to carry into effect the in-
tention of the shipowners (if freighting cannot be abolished altege-
I then, which is highly desirable), not less than three market days for
sale, be henceforth inserted in all charters of ships freighted by coal-
owners, and that a scale for demurrage be arranged by the Gentle-
men of the deputation with the shipowners."
