SECOND EDITION.

Wednesday Noon.—The soldiers returned from Ac-
crington this morning a little after eight o'clock. When
they reached that place they found a considerable num-
ber of persons assembled, who, however, were quite
peaceable, and soon after their arrival they gradually
dispersed, without any further disturbance having taken
place. It appears that the windows of that part of Mr.
Sykes' factory where the power-looms stand, are com-
pletely demolished, but we believe no damage was done
to the machinery. An attack was also made upon the
house of Mr. Lancaster, and considerable injury done
to the windows, but we are happy to say that it does
not appear any lives were lost, or that any one has re-
ceived personal harm.
"%Ye have just been informed that the house of Mr.
Haworth, the overleer of Church Bank, near Accring-
ton, was last night or early this morning broken into,
and a considerable quantity of wearing apparel, -provi-
sions, &c. stolen therefrom. The jobbers have not yet
been heard of, but we have no doubt they were some of
the party whO made the attack upon the factory. An
entrance was effected through the dairy window.
This morning, a man of the name of T. Bury was
folly committed to the Preston House of Correction to
take his trial at the next Sessions, charged wall being a
ringleader in the attack on the coach, &c. He was
apprehended immediately after the attack, and taken
into the Duke of York public-house, from whence he
was rescued by the mob; but Mr. ay having received
a description of him retook him about three o'clock this
morning in bed. _ _

Since writing the above, we have received an advertisement, the
purport of which is • resolution of the principal manufacturers to
give higher wages in future, or, u one of the resolutions says—
" If the townships to which we make this appeal should refuse
to second our efforts, we shall, however we may deplore it, be
under the painful necessity of reducing the prises we are now pay-
ing, as low as those paid by others of whose conduct we dis-
approve, or else of altogether abandoning the trade."

flotrmurrow, APRIL 19.—An itinerant Italian, in
a fit of passion, brought on by intentional irritation, in-
flicted a serious wound in the throat of a seaman on our
Quay, on Monday. It is, however, not dangerous.
Tuesday, Mary Rust, r 3 years of age, was committed

An Act has been passed by the G wernor, Council,

and Assembly of Jamaica, to consolid.tte and amend
'the several laws relating to the Clergy, and to inve.t
the Bishop of that Island with ecclesiastical jurisdiction.
Tiiis act assigns to the Rectors of the diffesent parishes
a stipend in money amounting to 6001. per annum, in
lieu of the uncertain mode of remunerating them,
which had pre.i •usly prevailed ; emancipates them
completely from their former dependence on parochial
vestries, tend places them' under the exclusive c tnteol of
the Bishop. It provides also a liberal allowance for
curates to assist them in their various duties, more
especially in acting as catechists, and in conveying to
the slaves on the different estates throuAhout the island
elementary instruction in the principles of christianity.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION HOUSE.

Yesterday, a Gentleman applied to the Lord Mayor for sum-
monses of vTarrants against some persons who held themselves forth
as Directors of a Company called the " Alliance Granite and Chins
Clay Company." The applicant produced a number of finely en-
graved documents, of which the following is a copy:
" Alliance Granite and China Clay Company.
"Received of the Alliance Granite and China Clay Company, to
the credit of the Directors, the sum of V. 10s. to account for on de..
nand.—For Everett, Walker, Maltby, Ellis, and CO.
" sC2lOs. • T. G I I.BART."
The complainant stated, that he hail paid 1251. upon a number of
these Shares, on the presumption that a Company had been regu-
larly formed, and was established ; that be believed was not the
case; no prospectus had been sent forth, but so many as 1,000
Shares had been issued without any such formality; 21. 10s. each
had been paid upon them, and 2,500/. received at the bankers',
Messrs. Everett and Co.'s, which had been drawn out, and he un-
derstood expended. 'lite balance in the hands of Messrs. Everett,
was, he learned, no more than W. Ws. or thereabouts.
The Loan klayoa asked, what inducement had been ha.' out to
bring forth the money so readily.
The applicant stated, that it bad been held out to them, that they
were to supply the granite far building London Bridge. There was
one of the 51embers of the Corporation amongst the Directors.
The Loeb Marva raid, he could not conceive it possible that
such a representation had been held out, as it was notorious that
the supply had been contracted for bad.* the formation of the
Company.
The applicant said that a quarry bad been purchased, and it form-
ed part of the ground of his charge, that the persons who bought
were also those who sold it. They had taken the Company's nio.
ney out of one of theif pockets and put it into the other, and there
were rw proceeds whatever, and nothing had been done.
The LORD MAYOR-113Te you made any application to the
Directors upon the subject?
The applicant declared that he had applied separately, and that
they had promised to restore to him the money they had obtained.
Nothing, however, was forthcoming; and after having given them
notice that he should resort to a course of this nature, he at length
adopted it. Ile declared that he was in possession of the technical
pouf, and that he could prove it to be, from beginning to end, a
gross a case as any which had been brought before his Lordship.
The Loan Mayon, after consulting with ►is legal adviser, who
t►ought that the case, if proved as stated, was ORe punishable as a
combination to defraud, directed one of his Officers to . :quest the
attendance of the Directors, to meet the charge of obtaining money
under the false pretence of carrying me a Company.
