.next morning, informathai was ieceived that a pare
of men, armed with guns, pistols:, pikes, forks, and
other weapens, were on the way towards Niatingharn
from the neighbourhood of Peuttelge, iu the county
of Derby. The Magistrate's of this tows, before sestets
o'clock in the morning, summoned numbers e i J.e
most reputable inhabitants to Ihe Police Oflize,ael
nearly lefn were sworn in as spi•cialrnnstalites, for tee
preservation ef the peace, in the courseeit the Jae.
• " It appears from the info:m.4llon tie have
lected, that a number of Men assembled together at
South V. ingfield on Mond.iy night, cad after aiming
themselves, proceeded oti the way to Nottingham,
en-
der an expectation of being joined by a great climbsr
of other distressed and diszPecied persons. They
seem to have proceeded on the pi inciple cff compel-
ling every man they met to join them, in eviler Co
crease their force and numbers, and at fiontit
'field Castle, we understand they shot a man. eho re-
solutely refused to aid them io '.heir designs; red
marching . forward through Betterly, Ripley, tied
Codner, increasing as they weni, until they name in
Langley Bridge, the first viliage in this county,ei here
they expected to be jeined by a number el* men, but
to their dismay, could not find one volunteer. As
they had come along, they had cenimitted various
depredations, compelled persons to join them, and
seized all the arms they could lay their hands en. At
.Langley Bridge they continued the same practices,
and fenced a eery respectable inhabitant of the plate
to accompany them to Eastwood, but there he es-
caped from their hands. While at Langley, a man
wad seserely wounded in the thigh, and it was cur-
tently reported that he was fired at for refusing to
join them, but we have ascertained this is not correct.
He joined them from Pentridge, and was wounded
aceidentally, him the carelessness of some one, who,
probably, was not used to hate a fiivlock in his pos.
session, and though very revers-1y wounded,, we he.
lieve his life is not in danger in consequence thereof.
11 At Eastwood, a popelons village, about eight
miles from Nottingham, they publicly declared that
they had expected to be joined by a very large num-
ber of persons ; but here again they were entirely
disappointed, not receiving any accession of numbers
but from those whoin they absolutely forced, and
thnse deserted on the first opportunity. These de-
Fuled men.reached East woed Amu Stveno'clock in
the morning, and here they presented rather a formi-
dable appearance, amounting to nearly 200 men, va-
riously armed, with guns, pikes, forks, &c. and tome
of thesis carrying bags of bullets at their backs. It
was at this time and place they exhibited their greatest
strength, and from this point they rapidly declined.
As we have already observed, they had expectations
of bring here joined by thousands, but instead of that,
they could not meet with one I:thinker, the men having
gone out of the way, in order to avoid being praesd
into an unpleasant service. This marked disappoint-
ment seems to have produced a very striking effce.
It is true they pursued their way, but rot above 2.1
men made their appearance at Kimberley, a village
-about five miles from Nottingham. They arrived at
that place about half-past eight o'clock, but commit-
ted no act of violence. Here they sat down by the
road side, with their pikes, &c. in their hands, and
presented a most forlorn picture. Al thougheeraking
from a dream, stung by bitter reflections, and now
perceiving the folly of their conduct, even these envy
away their arms, and dispersing, sought only t re-
trace their steps in safety, so that a little betire tea
o'clock, when a party of the hussars came up, they
foUnd no enemy to cope with. Betwsen Ximber'..ey
and Eastwood, however, a quantity of pikes. guns,
Sto. were gathered together and taken care of, and
several of the men, stragglers of the party, were er-
prehended. In this business LANCELOT 1tC,..t.E4,70:9

.
0 'ln the Second Edition of our last publication,
we stated some particulars, which had just reached
25,01 a rumoured insurrection in this district, .and
also the arrest of ten persons near Dewsbury, 'on a
charge of High Treason.
" We now proceed to lay before our Readers all
the information which we have been able to collect
co the subject of the intended insurrection. Our re-
marches have been conducted with great diligence,
with perfect impartiality, and with the most anxious
wish to come at the truth. It appears, 'that. almost
immediately after the suppression of thse Union So.
cities, established in different towns in thirdistrict
for effecting a reform in Parliament, smite of the
roost violent members associated together in a private
tad clandestine manner. At these meetings it is.
ropposed to leave become a question for deliberation..
.whether a change in the Representation might not.
be effected without the intervention of Parliament ?
sad a project to effect this purpose appears to have
been communicated to them by Mr. Oliver, who had
teen introduced to these Ultra Reformers by Mitchell
(a 3 legate, now in custody), as a person deserving
melt confidence, and not only disposed to communi.
(ate to them interesting information as to the state of
the country, but able to afford them the most effeo-,
loal assistance ; thus recommended, he soon possessed.
Ihnself of their unbounded *confidence. This perm
it Ind to have 'represented to these credulous men,
tl'at all the people in the metropolis were favourable
Oh complete change in the Government ; that every,
Lug was organised, and that it was absolutely set-
edi.that on the night preceding the trial of the State
Prisoners (the night of the Bth June) a general rising
'cold _take place; that. as a consequence of this
thovetnent, all the public offices were to be taken
ihsession of, all the constituted Authorities seized,
at d the State prisoners released ; and that a plan /44
also been arranged for securing all the military, by
h!lich means a change in the bovernmenewould be
tfhtted, without any effusion of blood.
" It was further represented to them, chain order
b, carry into effect this bloodless Revolution, it was
43:4luten necessary that the same plan should. be si-
"htltaneously acted upon in all parts of the country;
t!ht it was therefore necessary, that on the night
Tet+i upon, namely, on Sunday the Bth instant, all
e military in every district of the kingdom should
:'e secured in their (MUM'S. their arms seized, and
that the Magistrates and other Civil Officers should
,
e arrested and placed in a state of restraint, not
lethle that no opposition might be made to the de-
:TVs of the insurgents, but that they might serve as,
Goss" forth: safety of such of their own p.irty as

rt!ght fall into the hands of hoverithen t. This ab-
surd and wicked project:is said to have beep.enter-,
tainedi• and in some degree acted arm. by a bomber
of indieiduals in different parts or this district ; and
a partitipation in (hie plot i= alledged against the per-
sons who were apprehended. yesterday se'nnight, at
Thornhill Lees, charged with having assembled there,
for the purpose of carrying into immediate effect this
daring and traitorous project. Our !tenders will pro.
bably. infer from this statement, that the peison in-
troiloced by Mitchell to the Ultra-Refer:mem was,
in truth, a spy, and That every step taken towards the
isteeutinn of the project, had been communicated to
'person's in authority, as the plot appears to hare been
kiloton by some of the Magistrates for several weeks.

field, and lodger' in the Court-house, where they were
examined for. several hours by Sr Fttarsms LINDLEY
Wont). Bert. BE,NJAMIN DZAI.TRY, Esq. and other
Magistrates there assembled. The. examination was
private; some circuntstarczs have,. however, trani-
pired, which we shall state; .it WAS asserted by one
of the wrinesses. ex 'mined, that in a barn at Whitley,
near the place of meeting, there were deposited one
hundred pikes, and 50 stand of fire arms; and that•
in. the house oh John Smaller, of Hor'hury, would be
lotpid. a quantity of ball cartridges. jpessengers were
insomily di.patched to search both These places, and
'it is important to state, that, on removing the straw in
the barn, not a single pike or fire arm could he dis-
covered, and it was the opinion of the persons who
searched the premises, that the straw had not been
disturbed for a considerable time. That part of the
evidence which related to the ball cartridges was also
falsified, nothing of the kind having been found in
the house of Smaller. We have introduced the result
of these important searches in this place, though. in'
the order of the narrative, it ought to have been in-
troduced somewhat later. The Court-House at
Wakefield was Surrounded by an immense assem-
blage of persons during the whole of the examination.
About eight o'clock the prisoners Were remanded on.

tion, though not without alarm; for about midnight
on.Sonday, the town was thrown into the greatest
consternation by the .bogle sounding for the cavalry,
who remained on duty at the court House all nights
in conseqUente of sonic alarming reports' which had
reached the Magistratia, (who were also at the Court.
Housey.of an intention to me* the prisoneri at
Wakefield. An express was immediately sent There
to call out the Yeomanry Cavalry,. who instantly as-
sembled and continued on duty all day. No attempts
at release • were made, and the day passed over at
Wakefield iu -tranquillity. We regret, hOweier, to
state, that an attempt was made an the ireighbont-
hood of Huddersfield, to assassinate one. of the Yeo.
manry Cavalry, about one on Monday.morning.hy.
firing a loaded pistol, the ball of Which lodged in the
forehead of the horse belonging to Mr. Alexander, of 1
Huddersfield, but the ball has been extracted, and the'
horse is likely to recover. !1
" We understand that an outrage of a similar nit.;
tore was committed the same night at Ossett, a vil-
lage lien Dewsbury, where the house of a member
of the Yeomanry Cavalry was beset by a number of
persons who demanded Its arms, and .on his refusal
to give them up, fired several shots into. the house.
Five persons have been apprehended at-Huddersfield
and its neighbourhoeuf,. on a charge of being con-
cerned in the former of these daring outrages. They
have since been committed to York Castle on a charge
of malicious firing. They pissed, through this place
yesterday afternoon, accompanied by an escort of the
Huddersfield Yeomanry. cavalry. The following is
a list of their names and residence : Abram Oldham,
and John Oldham. of HonleX; • lutan Johnson and
. Joshua Knowles, of kohnfirth ; John Rhodes, (late
' of Holbeck), Wohnirth..—Tne ft-examination's./ the
prisoners charged with high treason took-place at the
House of Correction, in Wakefield,,on Monday, where
the Magistrates were holding a special Session. foe in-
quiring into the state of that gaol.
" 1 he number et Gentlemen on the Commission
who attended on this occasion, was uncommonly
great; among others were, S•r F. L. Wood.. Bart.;
Rev. %V. R. Hay (Chairmaa of the Manchester Ses-
sions); Rev, William Wood; Benjamin I)ealtry,
Esq.; and Benjamin Haigh Allen, Esq.: William'
frest, Esq. the Mayor of this Brough, was also
present. This examination was, in the strictest sense,'
private. The prisoners were merely examined pro
founts; and were informed that their further exallik
nation was deferred until the following Monday. • It
may be presumed from this unusually long adjbuisr-
me"l' of the examination, that no evidence has yet
been given against thc prisoners Which 'can warrant
their committal for High Treason. and it is probable
the re-committal has been with the view of detaining
them until instructions can be remind from Govern-
.ne.it as to their ultimate disposal.
•' We understand that some important papers have'
been found in the house of •James Mann the Leeds
Irelegate. fousingThe i chi, eliz." we do not. Wean
co insinuate that these persons have been elected by

'any body of ern teLeterert there is bo evidence of
any Inch delegation, anskthe probability is, that they
repro•ent nobody but themselves. We think it right
to make this remark. left it sheetel be surperied thdt
they were delegated bribe places where they weir
to be resident, which would have. given a very for-
midable aspect to this plot, aqd a degree of import-
ance to which it is by no means entitled. The con.
spiracy appears to hove been confined to a compara-
tively small number of persons, and was of a nature
which the laws of the country afforded ample mean
to suppress. It appears also to have been of a eery
recent dine. and to have originated in the injudicious,
and wevrill add, unconstitutional measures adnpidd'
by Ministers to check the expression of the public
feeling relative to a Reform in Parliament.
" It must be further remembered, that the account
we have given of the plot must be considered in the
nature of en ex parte it:lumen. and must rest for its
credibility, very considerably, on the reliance which
c.m be placed on the witnesses, who do not come be-
fore the public in a light which entitles them to much
credit, and whose evidence has been broken in upon,
by circumstances stated in the above account. It
must be further recollected, that all the persons ap
prehended are of the lowest classes of society, ilt:te
rate; and ill informed, and liable to be the dupes of
designing men. The great mass of the people are,
are are ennvinced, free from any knowledge or con-
currence in the plot. In short, when the whole is
dispassionately considered, there appears no ground
for that excessive panic and alarm which the first
denouncement of the plot produced, much less do. s
it afford any legitimate grouXd for a renewed 'aspen-
non of the Constitutional rights of the people.
Gs We feel great satisfaction in having to state,
that the most perfect tranquillity has prevailed here
•Juting the whole of the past week, and that the ahrm
which the announcement of so many plots had pro-
duced, has nearly subsided."

" Since the' foregoing was Prepared for the press,

in Dewsbury. To develop. a transaction so impor-
feot, not only to the. Government and the people of

that if Thiittewcod had had eqn;tly prudent counsels
