that of Monclay.: the: system of intimidation having
had a more fn).l effect, masons and gnarl-. iers , who
wrought on Monday, durst not on .Tuesday.
“ Most of, the copies which had been posted on
Monday, of the Proclamation of the Lord Lieutenant,
Sheriff, and Magistiiiis, had been defaced, and a
person was sent to replace them, which he found im-
practicable without a military ward. was then
escorted by a Police Officer, an Coipcial with four
men. In the execution of this duty, the soldiers
were pelted with stones, and were under the neces-
sity of firing four shots among the mob before they
dispersed: Several pasons are said to have been
hurt, and one woman shot through the neck. She
is still in life.

" This day the.most putlic.ttreets were kept. eleir
of idle crowds by Cavalry constantly scouring them,
and the shopkeepers found it safe to keep off their
window-shutters, which was not the case on Monday._
At mid-day, two lads entered a cotter's house a little
to the east of Foxbar, and took by force one or two
muskets. During the whole of the day there was a
vast assemblage of perions at Foxbar. They had
the audacity,to examine the houses at the bleach-
field, and threaten to set fire to them, notwithstand-
ing there was a party of military at Mr. Robertson's
house. The consequence has been, that many of the
bleachers have sent off their chests, and, through
fear, intend to leave the work
" Aftut. s.—The weavers are still idle, though
seme of the other workmen, particularly the masons,
have returned to work. The streets are less crowded
than on the two former days. It is believed many
are gone to the country. The cotton-works at John-
stone and Paisley are still shut up. A crowd, to the
number offroin three to four hundred, are assembled
on some.high ground above Foxbar. Whatever may
be the whole of their intentions, one object, no doubt,
is to produce fear iiithe minds of Mr. Robertson's fa-
mily, than which it is not easy to conceive a baser
principle. Among the threats used to the master
cotton-spinners at Johnstone, 'some of the Radi-
cals gave then intimation, unless the mills were
shut up, The Provisional Government would not make
up the loss or damage they might sustain by the ra-
vages of a mob."

FROM THE EDINBURGH CHRONICLE.
" The Edinburgh City Troop of Light Horse Yeo-
manry, commanded by Lord ELCIIO, marched on
Tuesday, at five o'clock, for Bathgate, on their route
for Glasgow ; and we understand that the County
Yeomanry have also got orders to hold themselves in
readiness. A detachment of the Royal Edinburgh
Volunteers have been ordered to hold themselves in
readiness to do the duty of the garrison at the Cas►le."

RISING AT HUDDERSFIELD.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

FROM THE LEEDS MERCURY OF SATURDAY.

" A very unusual sensation was observed in many
of the villages in the neighbourhood of Huddersfield,
towards the evening of Friday, the slst ult. The
women were seen passing about to each other's houses,
many of them in tears, and several of the men ap-
peared unsettled, and as if meditating some daring
enterprise. The Magistrates, without knowing the
precise time when, or the place where, the blow was
to be struck, were informed of these indications by
their agents, and the military, throughout the manu-
facturing districts of Yorkshire and Lancashire, were'
that night under arms. About ten o'clock at night,
the general muster commenced, and the initiated, in
a great number of
,the populous villages, by which
the town of Huddersfield is surrounded, began to
assemble, many armed with pikes, some with arc-
arms, and others with scythes and pitch-forks, pur-
loined from the neighbouring farm-yards. In some
districts the bugle was heard to sound through the
yanks, as the signal for muster, but the more gene-
ral practice was to go to the houses of those who
were known, or supposed to be favourable to the de-
sign, and to press into the service the head of the fa-
mily. In some instances force, and in many others
threats were used, to swell the ranks of the disaf-
fected ; and not a few of the persons called upon es-
caped out of the windows, in the rear of their
houses, and relieved themselves from further impor-
tunity by concealment in the adjoining woods.
" The plan
,of operations was, to approach the
town in four divisions. Having surrounded the
town, all the parties were to advance at the same
moment, and while one captured the horse barracks,
„and secured the Cavalry, another was to take pos-
session of the barracks occupied by the Infantry, who
were also to be secured; the Civil Authorities were
at the same moment to be made prisoners, and the
principal inhabitants of the town confined to their
dwellings by the new Provisional Government. This
.desperate project, wicked and visionary as it may ap-
pear, was undoubtedly formed, and the capture of
Huddersfield, with the stoppage of the coaches
usually passing through that place, were to form the
signals for the general rising !.
. '46 About eleven o'clock at.night, all the divisions
were in motion; the northern division, some.of the
[sections of which had roused the peaceable inhabi-
tants from their beds, and collected arms from them
in their route, assembled in Fixby Park; to the
number of 200 or 300; the southern division had
approached, but never reached Almondbury-bank.l
The advanced-guard of the western division had, be-'
fore twelve o'clock, taken their station at Greenhead,
on the height which commands Huddersfield, and
within halt' a mile of the town : while the main body
of that.division was stationed on Lindley Moor.
" Soon after two o'clock, the beacon on the Castle-
hill, which consisted of a quantity of shavings smeared
with combustible matter, and hoisted on a pole, was
fired. For some time the approach of the insurgents,
to -take possession of the town, was every moment
expected ; two or three sky-rockets had been observed
to rise before this hour, and frequent reports of fire-
arms were heard extending along the banks of the
river to a considerable distance ; but from some cause,
which is not yet fully ascertained, the insurgents be-
gan to disappear in every direction, and the medi-
tated attack upon the town was abandoned. As the
morning approached, several parties of horse and
!foot soldiers were sent out to reconnoitre the country,
and to pick up stragglers, but not .a single prisoner
was made during the night, and it is a little remark--
able that, with the exception of the outrage in kirk-
lees-lane, and the stealing of arms and other offensive
weapons, no excess or depredation whatever was
