Burnley, it appears, were not satisfied with the advance they
had actually obtained on the price of their labour, and on Tues-

meeting to enforce their claim for more. The Civil Authority,
however, very properly intatimed, and took the bellrnan into

helaseenared down in torrents, they marched under the command
of Captain-liindley. The rain continued during the whole of
the /tura, which was accomplished in six hours. The influence
of their presence at Burnley was immediately felt, without their
being reduced to the disagreeable alternative of applying force in
order to disperse their fellow-countrymen.
" During the whole of the day, a great number of most tur.
bulent characters had possession of the streets, in which all busi-
ness was suspended. Placards, referring to the outrage of Tues-
day, bad heen prepared by the proper authorities, but no one
had dared to venture amongst the ill-directed populace in order
so post them, till the Cavalry were descried approaching the
town, when they were immediately made public ; and on the
arrival of the Yeomanry, with a promptitude and vigour which
did honour to the Gentlemen who composed it, the Civil Power
began to act, and in little more than an hour seven of the most
violently active of the insurgents were taken into custody, with-
out any resistance on the part of the crowd, which dispersed inn_
mediately on the approach of the patriotic corps ; and at a very.
early hour, that evening, the town was perfectly at peace, and the
prisoners conducted (through Padiham) to Blackburn prison, no-
des the kcort of the six Dragoons already mentioned.
" The next day, the Yeomanry accompanied the Magistrates
to Padiham, where a meeting had been announced ; but the
presence of the force broke the spirits of the refraitory, and,
instead of attending an unlawful meeting, the quiet, peaceable,
and industrious Weavers who had been forcibly driven from
their looms by threats of vengeance by the leaders, had resumed
their daily labours, and the click of the fly-shuttle was heard in
every loom-house. After a stay of two hours at Faddism, the
Cavalry returned to their hospitable quarters at Burnley, which,
on invitations so hearty that it was impossible to evade. theni,
ware in the private houses of the principal inhabitants, whers
they and their horses were treated in a manner which did honiqr

performed the rites of hospitality to the Gentlemen who had, in
so patriodoe meaner, left their acenstotaary pursuits, and ha&

threatened by a body of men labouring under erroneous, but
strongly excited impressions.
" On Saturday momiag, order being perfectly restored, the,
proper authorities again respected, and the of.x Dragoons in-
creased to a Serjeant'S Guard by a detachment which had ar-
I rived to support the Magistracy, the Gentlemen of the Ye°.
Awry Corps prepared to march homeward, when, immediately
before they left the town, a testimonial of the estimation in
"bid their valuable services were held, was hastily drawn up on
*mar of the occasion,- sod signed by as many of the princi-
nod inhabitants. of Burnley, and its vicinity, as were immediately
on the spot, and put into the hands of elptaln Handley, by John
Hargreaves, Req. oh behalf of the town.
" Captain Huntley, en behalf of himself, the OlPcers, and
privates, expressed his /ease of the honour done to the Corps by
the Town of Burnley, assuring Mr. Hargreaves, that every indl,
vAlual would long retain, with cherished satisfaction, the recol-
lection of the very handsome and hospitable manner in which
they had been received. The corps then commenced its march.
and arrived in Manchester about six o'clock on Saturday evecioi.
" In Manchester every thing remains perfectly quiet ; but'
we are sorry to say, that it appears that the attack on the fac-
tory of Messrs. Gray and Co. on the id inst. was not the remit
of sudden feeliug, but was a prconcerted measure to destroy the
property. The constables of Manchester, assured of this in-
tention, have therefore offered a reward of Taw hundred Guineas
fog' evidence, in order to convict the planners and advisers of
the attack ; and his Majesty's Pardon has been promised by his
Royal Highness the Prince Regent; to persons.(parties in the
scheme) givin,; the necessary information for bringing them to
justice."

The disappearance of a young man, named RO-

has already been noticed in our Paper. On Monday
night, a young man in a smock frock and a red cap
was taken into custody by a Constable at Woolwich,
having been observed wanderinf about. that place
without any apparent business. fhe Constable took
him before a Magistrate, where he said his name was
ROBERTS ; and, upon further inquiry, it appeared
that he was the young man whose sudden disappear-
ance had caused his family to imagine that he had
either been murdered or had committed suicide.—
The Constable, by direction of the Magistrate, de-
livered him to a relation, when he said that Le was
sick of a sedentary occupation, and that he had de-
termined to join the standard of the Independents in
South America.
