ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.

Samuel Bamford, who has published several poems
under the title of The Wearer Boy, was app:zhended
at one o'clock this morning, at his house at Middle-
ton, about six miles from Manchester. Mr. NADIN
arrested him, and conveyed him to the New Bailey,
guarded by a detachment of the 15th Hussars. He
was brought up for examination to-day before lungs
NORRIS, Esq. He is a tall, stout man, about twenty.
seven, dressed in a velveteen coat, and with a coloured
cotton handkerchief, and has an appearance quite the
reverse of that of poetic genius.

Mr. Nosstl said to the prisoner—" The charge against you is
of a very serious nature. You must be ezamined with the others
who were remanded for High Treason, and detained until then,"
Damford—" Who has accused me?"
Mr. Noaats—" That you shall hear in due time.'
Bamford—" This morning Mr. Kadin seized a number of
• Papers at my house--old Newspapers—Sher vin's Register, The
Black Bawl; and When's Register. There might be SOW loose
writings, but of no consequence. I wish to know who his them r.
Mr. Nostats--" The Constable is answerable for them, and
as you are demised on a charge of a serious nature, it will pro-
bably turn out that this was correct."
John Cotterell was next placed at the Bar.

Gilbie, a Constable, stated, that he accompanied
Shawcross, Murray, and another Constable, to the
White Moss, on the Sunday morning when Shaw-
cross and Murray were so violently assaulted by the
Reformers at drill ; and that the prisoner was drilling
the Manchester squad,
Murray stated, he was positive he had seen the
prisoner drilling a squad, but could not say whether
he was one that struck him.

The prisoner stated, he was a weaver residing in

IBoardman,square ; was formerly in the Cumberland
Militia.—(This 'Militia was in Manchester in 1812,
when the Luddite mobs were on foot).—Remanded.

Shordy afterwards, Mr. Pearson, of London, ap-
peared in Court. He gave a note to Mr. Milne, the
Magistrates Clerk. Mr. Milne said, Mr. Pearson
had applied to see Hunt., Mr. NORRIS stated, that
the Committee of Magistrates had ordered that no
one should see him at present. Pearson was putting
some questions ; and Mr. NORRIS replied--" You
have got your answer." Pearson—" Has the Com-
mittee ordered you should give no answer ?" Mr.
Nolte's made no reply, and Pearson left the Court,
saying—" You must do as you choose."

their officers, who has been permitted to ha,

vant is not suffered to go in alone, either tht
or some turnkey constantly attending him
visits, and overhearing and observing ever
that passes.
All the other prisoners, even the women,

Mr.NORRia was the Magistrate on the fier,cl

answerable next Term—that having seen fi
public papers that an attempt had been
slaughter Mr. HUNT as he was going to pri!
did not know but that something of the sar
might be attempted when he came out of it--
Here Mr. WEST was interrupted by Mr."
the Clerk, who told the Magistrate, that M,
was " some fellow come down fiiim London
pose to insult his Honour, and that he ougi
turned out."

Mr. Warr, resuming, disclaimed any intention
insulting the Magistrate, but urged, that beir
der such pecuniary responsibility for Mr. HI
was naturally desirous to have an intervie,
him, in order to know how he was to be
against the consequences.
Mr. Novas, the Magistrate, said that he
thing to do with what Mr. WEST had been
about, and that the order of the Bench was
tory, that nobody whatever shouid have
the prisoner.

Mr. WEST they. asked, since he could not be
ed to see the prisoner, whether he might nr

Mr. INIILNE, the Clerk, observed, that Mt
had himself already got a copy of tbe warrant
Mr. NORRIS thought that sufficient.
Mr. Naar replied, that as nobody was
access to the prisoner, there was no means of
tainiug whether he had really got a copy or
that being at any rate so rigorously secreted
make uo use of it if he had.

Mr. NORRIS persisted in declining to alley
West the copy he requested.
Mr. WEST observed; that he was entitled

'the legal consequences of their refusal.
Mr. WEST did accordingly proceed to the
Bailey, and lodged the following written Reqi
with the Keeper : .

Bailey, In Salford.
" I hereby demand of yon, pursuant to the Swett

On Thursday, Mr. %sr thought proper,
leaving Manchester, to apply again, to know w)
circumstances might not have so changed, si
return of the Deputation from London, as to
of his seeing Mr. HUNT? He was informed
Nona's, that he believed theyjhad not; but
Committee of the Magistrates *as to meet at
Inn in the evening, and that he (Mr. W.) might
there, when he would probably hear something
Mr. Wes/. did accordingly call at the Sts
three several times in the ccurse of Thurstlal
ing—but if any Committee was met he coult
nothing of them.
On Friday morning Mr. WEST took his dep
for London.

At a late hour last night (11 o'clock) the fel
document was very extensively placarded
about the Metropolis:

" BRITONS TO ARMS!
" England expects every man to do his cloy"
" Fellow CounCountrymen,Au"gu 50 Ast Meeting,
119.8 w
will be held at Palace-yard on ?Iced:
" Sir F. BULDITT, Bart. M.P. in the Chair."

A man was taken, at the hour mentions
Wych-street, posting the above bill, but he w
soon liberated.
Yesterday no official communication hak
received by the Magistrates at Queen-square,
respect to the intended Meeting at Palace Y;
Monday ; but without any such instructions,
no doubt, would make proper arrangeirents f
preservation of the peace, in the evel,t of filch
ing taking place. The Foot Guards wl:o wc:e rei
from Windsor on Thursday, to replace those W.
London for Windsor, were ordered to halt
King's Mews, Charing-Cross,
where they still
under arms. The gates on all sides of the Mel
kept shut, and no thoroughfare for passenger"
mltted ; and it is not intended that the soldiers'
be sent to their respective quarters till the to'
the Meeting is known.
