EXTRACT FROM ANOTHER LETTER.

" Macclesfield, Aug. 18, ailf-past Eleven, A. M.

a Yesterday evening, about eight o'clock, p. m.
some boys and men began to break Mr. Wit.son the
Stationer's shop windows, then the Hotel windows,
and those of many other respectable inhabitants ; and
every lamp in the town ; the windows were smashed
in all directions—nobody opposed them till all the
damage was done ; last night when they had sworn
in Special Constables, they secured about 50 of the
offenders—and this morning the Military arrived,
and are now in the act of searching the ale-houses in
the town—l saw them, about half an hour ago, take
up five men, and put them in jail—they stopt every
suspicious looking person, and made them give an
account of themselves, and where they were going.
Every thing is quiet this morning as to ribt."

" Macclesfield, Wednesday Noon.

gg The Market-place was the principal scene of
action. The windows of Mr. WILSON'S shop were
completely demolished, and' much mischief would
have arisen had it not been for the prompt interfe-
rence of the Police and Special Coostables. Mr.
DAvio BROWNE, a most respectable Solicitor, is se-
verely hurt. About 60 of the rioters were taken into
custody, and lodged in the House of Correction and
Town Hall, where they will undergo examination.
d, It appears the ringleaders of the mob summoned
their forces immediately on the military being sent
off Stockport, and commenced their work of de-
:press, however, was sent for their

a The troops still continue to patrole the streets,
but the town generally is comparatively quiet. Two
pieces of cannon are placed in Mosely-street. About
ten o'clock yesterday morning, a person who had
served as a Special Constable, passing down one of
the bye lanes near Oldham-street, was brutally as-
saulted by several ruffians, and his skull severely
fractured with a poker—means are taking to discover
the perpetrators of this villainous transaction."

" Thursday, One o'Cloek.

"4 The town was tolerably quiet at one o'clock to-
day— no further mischief to that time had been done.
" The Riot Act was read three several times on
Monday, and once immediately preceding the charge
of Cavalry. When the scaffolding began to totter,
owing to the tremendous pressure against it, HUNT
roared out lustily, and his heroic coadjutor, JOHN-
Brow, threw his arms round NADIN'S neck, and beg-
ged most fervently for his protection.
" On Tuesday, a large party of the Reformers, a
great number of them armed with pikes, marched
down Ancoat-street to New Cross. A division of the
31st Infantry was in the neighbourhood, and stopped
the progress of the misguided men. But they were
bitterly taunted by the harmless' multitude, and
stones were thrown at them : the military at last
fired amongst them, when, melancholy to relate, four
men were killed on the spot, and eight wounded !
The mob then dispersed in every direction.
64 The Knutsford and Stockport Troops of the
Cheshire Yeomanry were chiefly employed on Mon-
day, and the humanity and forbearance which they
manifested, are spoken of in very high terms. Few
of the mob were injured by them, and the flat sides
only of their swords were used.
" HUNT has been examined twice; his final exa-
mination will take place to-morrow (Friday) at the
New Bailey Court-room, when it is expected he will
be committed to Lancaster Castle, on a charge which
will not admit of bail.
" The Cheshire Cavalry returned home on Wed.
nesday night. The Macclesfield troop was sent for
express to that town from Manchester, on Tuesday
night."

44 MANCHESTER, Thursday, Six P. M.

(FROM THE MORNING HERALD.)

" The population of this town and its neighbour-
hood arc deeply incensed against the constituted au-
thorities in consequence of the conduct of the Magis-
trates on Monday ; and although the people abstain
from any violations of the peace, yet it is known that
their minds are full of dangerous agitation. They
impose a greater restraint upon the expression of
their feelings, they shew more reerve in the commu-
nication of their opinions than Englishmen are ac-
customed to do ; they seem anxious to know what is
thought in London and in other distant places of the
late proceedings at Manchester; and when any thing
like a defence is set up for the Magistrates, they turn
away with indignation. Business is not actually sus-
pended, but it is carried on with less activity and
frankness than usual. The shops are all opened at
their accustomed hours, but, by a recent order, they
are closed every night at nine o'clock, at which hour
the military patrole the streets, and surer no one to
remain in them.

4. The detachments collected here and in the neigh-
bouring towns keep themselves in a state of prepara-
tion to act at the sound of the bugle, and we are po-
sitively assured that their utmost vigilance is necessary
to awe the spirit of vengeance, which ildiaD2Cl the
multitude around them.

" It has been stated, but for the honour of the na-
tional charactet it is to be hoped it is untrue, that
several persons who were active in dispersing the
meeting on Monday, have been marked as objects for
assassination.

At five o'clock, this evening, none of the parties
who had been imprisoned in the New Bailey were li-
berated. Mr. HUNT, it is said, has repeatedly ap-
plied to be admitted to bail ; but the Magistrates
will take no step respecting him or the other parties,
until they receive directions from the Secretary of
State's Office, in London, as to the line of conduct
they shall pursue. They have not, as yet, received
any reply to the dispatches they forwarded to Lord
SIDMOUTII."

LICHFIELD-THURSDAY NIGHT.

We have received a letter from a correspondent, on
the affairs of Manchester. Thd public indignation is
described as loud and general against the military for
their attack on the people, who supposed themselves
to be exercising a common privilege of Englishmen,
under the protection of the law: but this contempt is
most pointedly manifested against the Manchester Yeo-
manry Cavalry, for their readiness to draw the sword
on their townsmen; and whose alacrity in dismount-
ing during the charge were, under other circum-
stances, a matter of mirth. The principal persons
injured were rode over by the Yeomanry.
A Reporter to one of the London Papers, passed
through this city, last night, by the Express coach,
who had received a sabre cut on the left arm. He
rests the night at Birmingham. From him we learn
that Hutu. is kept under close confinement, no one,
being allowed access to him—while an express has
been sent to the Secretary. of State, as it is intended
to proceed against him for Treason. The young man
Hulme, is not dead, as reported. Fifty-one of the
wounded are in the Infirmary ; more than that num-

ber are under surgical treatment at their own houses:
at the riot at Macclesfield, windows to the amount
of £1 000 are broken' The country is described as
in a state of violent fermentation%

FROM ONE OF OUR PRIVATE conitEApoNDENts-
" MANCHESTER, Thursday Evening.

" A Special Invitation was sent round this morn-
ing to all the " Declaration" men of the town, re-
questing their presence at a Meeting to be held at the
Police Office, for the purpose of considering of the
best means of testifying their gratitude to the NI agis-
trates, Yeomanry, and Military, for their signal and
important services, in dispersing the riotous assem-
blage on Monday, &c. &c.
" The design of holding the Meeting got wind,
and at the hour appointed, the loyal persons who had
been so busy in convoking it, were rather discon-
certed to find among the crowd of Gentlemen assem-
bled, a number of faces (WHITWORTH'S among the
rest) on whose cordiality they had reason to suspect
they could not perfectly rely. " Chair, chair!" was
repeatedly called out, but no chair was taken. The
conveners of the Meeting were seen in close con-
sultation among themselves, and every now and then
giving a scowling look askant at certain folks in the
assembly. At length they took fairly to flight in a
body of some dozen or more ; and their example
being followed by all of the same way of thinking,
the Meeting broke up without any thing being either
done or attempted.
" I understand that after this dispersion the party
again re-assembled at a private room in the Star Inn,
where Resolutions to the effect desired were come to,
which will doubtless appear forthwith as the impar-
tial, independent, and unanimous sentiments of the
people at large of Manchester, in public meeting
assembled.

" A Protest has been drawn up against the pro-
ceedings of 'Monday, and is handing about iOr sig-
natures. It has already many respectable names.
" An Inquest was held yesterday by Mr. MILNE,
the Coroner, and a Jury, on the bodies of JOHN ASH-
WORTH, CHARLES FIELD, and JOHN ADAMS, V.'140
came by their deaths in the course of the lamentable
riot of Monday last. After a full and satisfactory
investigation, it appeared that the deaths of tnese in-
dividuals were produced by the confusion which took
place on that unfortunate occasion, and the Jury,
without hesitation, found in each case a verdict of—
Accidental Death!

"committed, discharged, and remanded, in conse-
quence of the riots:—

FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.
" FRIDAY MORNING, EIGHT O'CLOCK.

it Agreeably to your request, I send you these few
lines just to say that all still continues quiet down
to the hour at which lam now writing. Yesterday
afternoon word was brought here that is the evening
there would be another playing at soldiers of the Re-
formers, at Royton and Leigh. A detachment of
Hussars was accordingly sent out by way of recon-
noitring, and immediately on their coming in sight
ofthe squad of Radicals, the latter took precipitately
to flight. One straggler was,,however, caught aad
brought to town. His name is Watson, and I under-
stand he is a discharged Corporal of the Old Buff 4."
