Lunn, Aran 15.—0 R London, 541.

We regret to state that the accounts from Lanca-
shire are of the most alarming description ; the conta-
gion of riot is spreading in/ that populous country, and
the military force there is unable to repress it ; a strong
repreqentation Pas been made to the Secretary of State
for the Home Department on the subject, and a de-
tachment of troops will embark in boas on the P4d-
dington.canal this evening. in order to proceed to the
disturbed districts.

It appears from private letters received this morning,
that the military and the rioters have had some very
serious conflicts in various places, and that sit of the
latter have been killed and nineteen wounded. It is
calcula•ed, that between Bury, Rochdale; and Harling-
ton, between eighty and a hundred thousand of the
rioters, are assembled, and they were constantly incteas-
ing in number and audacity.
A letter received from Chorley this forenoon stater,
that at two o'clock on Thursday afternoon, the rioters
destroyed every power loom in two factories at Chorley,
and then marched out in triumph, and without encoun.
• tering opposition. The following extracts from letters
received this morning contain the latest and fullest
particulars of these melancholy events. The first was
received by an eminent merchant in the City, to whom
we are indebted for a copy of it:

" AL

APRIL 27, 20 *Nunes 20 Tsx, P.M.

" I have this moment returned from H. Beavor's Factory which
is in a blase, having been set on lire by the mob this evening ; they
are, it is well known, extensive power-loom manufactories ; the
mob then proceeded to B. Gray's Mill, and Pollard's Ancoat'olane,
and Clog/ and Novice's, where they have broken all the windows
sod committed the meet serious depredations. The town at
this moment is in a complete tumult; dam are thousands of idle
fellows walking about, evidently for no other purpose but rioting.—
Whilst I am writing, a troop of the Dragoon Guards and a cont-
pany of the Rifle Corps, have just gone by the warehouse, at a brisk
pace, accompanied by several fire engines.—Yours, truly, lac."

ZXTRACT FROM ♦NOTHER LETTER.

• MANCIMiIt, Pamir. MoININa.

" This town is in a dreadful state of alarm and agitation in COfP
quence of the tumultuous proceedings of the weavers, which are a.
longer confined to the neighbouring towns. Last night the mub
began to assemble In considerable force, but the civil authorities
were active in doing all they could to disperse them peaceably ;
they, however, attempted to burn a factory, but it being fortunately
tire proof, the attempt failed."
" The whole of Mr. Hamees power looms at Bury, with tho.e
of Mr. Huchinson's:and Mr. &guar's factories at Chedderton, have
been destroyed, in addition to several hundreds of looms, of which
accounts have previously been given in the IMlanchitort and Mick-
burn Papers."

,i Birccsums, Avftu: 9A.

" Fatly this morning the 1115 e Corp, which marched into this
town yestet tisy, received orders to proceed to Low Moor and the

report was, that the nsultitude (mite of whoM remained all night)
was collecting in great numbers, and was determined to make an
attack. This rumour pined pound for some hours, but the arrival
of a part of the Dragoons.from Low Moor put an end to suspense.
But to keep the people in hot water, further and snore authentic
A: counts arrived from other places, that the work of destruction was
going forward, and with more determination and resolution than
ever. The coach from Haslingten arrived, and the passengers
informed us that the loom breakers had succeeded in demolishing
the whole of the power looms belonging to Mr. Turner, at Helm.
shore. The rioters then proceeded to Itavrtenstall, two miles
from Haalington, and here they broke the whole looms, 170 in
number. They then turned to the right. and went to Edealleld,
lour miles from the last place, and destroyed the whole of anothes)
fastory, the name of which I have not learned.

" EMIT O'CLOCIC, ♦as.—l have just been informed, that the,
'ooms destroyed in the a►ove factory belonged to a Mr. Hacking,
and that there are seven or eight human beings killed ; and among
the number, one woman and a soldier. The truth is, that the
rioters beat off the military, and gained (what they call) a glorious
victory. I forgot to mention to you, that at the attack made at
Haslington yesterday, thirteen prisoners were taken. They were
lodged in house of Mr. Neils, publican, where they underwent
au examination before a Magistrate; whilst, however, the exami-
nation was proceeding, the mob assembled in front of the house, and
sent a volley of stones, by which all the windows were broken, and
the frames forced out. The prisoners then jumped ;out of the
windows, and were taken away by the people. 'They were tied to
each other with strong ropes; but these, however, soon were made
to give way. As lam Inforined. the Magistrate (Mr. Grey) made
his escape, along with other Gentlemen, out of the back door, and
took shelter in a neighbour's house.
" Nue o'Csoce, a.m.—Further accounts have arrived of a
melancholy nature. The populace are up in Bury, and a sanguinary
affray has taken place between the military and them, the result of
which has been the loss of eight persons. including two soldiers. I
don't speak of the last affair as true, but every moment tends to
confirm the report. Wherever the people present themselves before
the soldiers, they cry with one voice,' we are nut come to fight you,
but to be friends; we are hungered to death almost, and we would
rather die than live in the manner we have done for the last few
months.' The following Proclamation has just been put into
my hands.

" Whereas information has been received that great multitudes
of persons have unlawfully assembled, for the purpose of attacking
factories and destroying machinery therein ; Notice is hereby given,
that a Military Force is now collecting in the neighbourhood of
Preston, and will be prepared to act without delay in defence of
the persons and property of his Majesty's subjects. By Order of
the Magistrates, April 25, 1326, Preston.'
" Business all at a stand; two of the largest Factories in this
town are shut up this week : what the consequences Will be, time
only will tell.

•' I'. S. Tau o'CLoca,a.x.—T have just heard that a waggon load
of looms going through Coins to Hadiogham, in Yorkshire, was
destroyed by the populace, in the former place."

" BLACICSVInt. WIDSZSDAT EVILNISG.

" This morning the populate collected together by seven o'clock,
and proceeded successively to three mills, between Haslington and
Blanchester, and at two of them they destroyed the power-looms.

At this time there were about two thousand assembled. Informa-
tion having been sent to the military, a small party of them arrived,
together with a Magistrate, at Mr. Might's Mill, at Chaddertme,
when, ending the rioters bent on the work of destruction, the 31a-
gistrate read the Riot Act, and employed every means in his power
to prevail on the infatuated men to disperse, but in vain. lbe
soldiers, therefore, were placed in a proper situation to defend the
mill ; but the mob persevered, and poured vollks of stones on the
soldiers, some of whom were severely hurt, so that at length their
Commander, in order to preserve the lives of his own men, was

under the painful necessity of ordering them to fire. Sven then,
however, the rioters seemed inclined to stand their `round, and did
bot retire until after many of them had been wounded, and three or
four killed. At the time of their dispersion, however, they loudly
declared that they would return the next day, in such numbers, as
to overbear all opposition."

" Blascassvca, Arita 27.

" I am sorry to say, that at this time, twelve o'clock, there
are passing the Exchange Room, and shouting, between two 1
and three hundred men, who have just arrived from Bury, and are
going to hold a Meeting at a place called St. George's Fields, about
half a mile from St. Anne's Square. I hope it will pass offquletly,
but there is a great number of people out of work in this town.

*HILLY-PAST Two o'Cirocx.—The Nirreting has not broken up yet
—there are between two and three thousand workpeople attending
it. Two pieces of cannon have just gone to Bury, a town about
-seven miles distant. I bear that ten of the rioters are killed, and a
great number Wounded—if anything serious takes place in this town,
I swill let you know by to-morrow's post."
" There is dreadful work at Blackburn, Clithero, Haslingtoa,
&e. Report says, at least 20 or ;,0,0(0, in different detachments,
are going about, and that their object is to destroy all power looms.
—They have destroyed a power loom at Rotteudale, and are pro-
ceeding towards Rochdale. The military have nearly all left
Manchester for different plates. Unless we get a large fotce
immediately, I fear the result will be dreadful. The mob are
armed with pikes, axes, and hammers. I understand -that an

application has just been made from Preston for troops."

" BLACIIIEM, WEDERMAT.

" The party who were at Darwen yesterday also destroyed a
quantity of power looms at Oddleston, near that place, both those
that were in the factory, and also some that had beep put up in a
dwelling house.

" THRIII O'CLOCE, r.m.—A Gentleman from Clithero informs us,
that the mob there dispersed quietly last night about six o'clock,
and that this morning the streets of that town are pretty clear.
"The rile corps went of to Maser* this morning at eight o'clock.
Captain Bray (whose conduct throughout the whole of this affair
reflects the highest credit upon him, and has secured him the
esteem elute inhabitants) has just returned with the party who
accompanied him on foot last night."

We hare received the St. Peterslurgh Journal of the
B'.h inst. but it does not contain any political intelli-
gence, tither foreign or domestic. The ice in the Neva
had broken up, and on the 7th of April the guns of the
citadel announced the opening of the river, and of the
passage of the Governor to the citadel. In order to
purify the air from the exhalations of the marshes
mound Kichenoff, a canal is to be cut to carry off the
stagnant waters. The necessary steps are taking to
irri;rdve the roads in Bessarabia, and in order to pro-
vide for the accommodation of travellers the Govern-
ment intends to erect large inns, or post-houses, and to
put in repair the buildings already existing at the
sar;ous post stations in the great roads which traverse
the province.

Brussels Papers to the '27th inst. have reached us.
They contain advices from Smyrna to the 18th of
March, according to which, great numbers of troops
had been conveyed from Asia to Constantinople, where
a Let of twenty-six ships of war, some of which were
of eirty guns, was fitting out. This expedition, which
seemed one of the most formidable yet assembled in

the Capital, was to sail in the Spricg, and throgh itsi
object was not positively known, it war topp.ssed to
be the reduction of the islands, without which It Wil S
thought impossible to extinguish the war altogether on
the Continent. The complaints against the Greek
cruisers are renewed, but their sole ground seems to be
that they use towards the Austrian and French mer-
chant vessels that right of search which we have allowed
them to exerci,e towards our own. The French
and Austrians being well aware that they convey ob-
jects which, render them liable to seizure and condemna-
tion resit that right, sometimes with open force,
whilst our ships, abstaining from the foul traffic carried
on by other Europeans, may be and are searched with-
out danger.

By the arrival of a Lisbon Mail, we have received
Gasdtes from the 10th to the 16th instant. The fol-
lowing is the only article worth quoting :

LISBON, Aram. 15.

The Gazette contains a decree., stating that numerous Letters
Patent were made out in the name of the late King, which his ill-
ness and sudden death pr* vented from being signed by him ; in
order, therefore, to prevent the injury that would accrue to the
persons interested by the expense end loses of time which would be
caused if these documents were to be thrown aside as useless, and
new ones drawn out, the Government has resolved chat they shall
be signed by the Princess Regent, and be then available to all
intents and purposes, notwithstanding the form and style in which
thly are drawn up-

Our two contemporaries, who, three weeks or a
month ago announced the fall of Missol,nghi, on the
authority of pretended official expresses from Marseilles,
and authentic letters wi men by English Colonels, will
now, we suppose, console themselves in the idea that—
" The pleasure is as great
In being cheated as to chest."

We stated at the time, that no reliance whatever was
to be placed on these accounts, and every arrival from
the vicinity of the seat of war has confirmed our asser-
tion. It now appears, that so far is Missolonghi from
having fallen, that it is likely to defend itself against all
the force marshalled against it; and private letters from
Trieste of the 15th, and from Corfu of the 6th inst.
speak in a very gratifying tone respecting that city.
It is stated that the garrison had made a very success-
ful sortie, in which IBRAHIM PACHA was wounded,
and 10 many of the Thais!) army slain that it was
hoped they would be compelled to raise the siege.

The Fiend) Government is imitating our o*n in
publishing quarterly an account of the revenue and it appears
from the statement of the Minister of Finance, that the returns for
the lut quarter are coosideted as favorable.
The revenues of 1826 compared with those of 1825, show an
increase fur the first quarter of 4,349,080 francs. The increase in
the first three months of the present year, compared with the re-
ceipt of the first quarter of 1824, is no less than 8,886,000 francs.
The difference between the sum of the revenues of 1856 and that
of the revenue of 1825, and which seems to be wholly to the advert-
cage of the present year, is owing in a great measure to the produce
of the timber felled , this difference is 3.837,000 francs. The
amount of the dudes of customs and navigation has decreased
1,647,000 francs compared with last year. The duties on the con-
sumption of salt have decreased 1.463,000 francs, those on the sale
of tobacco 189,000 francs. The duties on enrolments, stamps, and
mortgages, h .ve increased 1,612,000 francs. The sale of powder,
which lasi year produced 862,000 francs, is this year 1,072,000
francs, being an increase of 210,000 francs. The dudes on liquors
of all kinds show an increase of 1,545,080 francs.
The increase, it will be seen, is in some instances owing to
receipts of revenue of a temporary or casual nature, while the cus-
tom and navigation duties have decreased ; this is attributed, and
very properly, to the commercial crisis which has more or less
affected every country in Europe.
