MORE RIOTING AT TODMORDEN.

We are sorry to say that the hostility of the people of
Todmorden and its neighbourhood to the New Poor Law,
was further exhibited on Wednesday last, by a series of
ritous attacks upon the houses and property of several mem-
bers of the board of Guardians. About noon on that day, a
report having been circulated that a sale was about to take
place under a warrant of distress, a crowd of from one to two
thousand assembled. As, however, there was no appearance
of a sale, the crowd proceed to the house of Mr. Oliver, one
of the guardians, who resides at Stanch-field, and broke his
windows. They then passed by Dulesgate, where they broke
the windows of Messrs. Ormrod, Greenwell, and Halliwell.—
They next attacked the dwelling house of Dr. Halliwel,
brother of the guardian of that name, and completely gutted
the lower part of the house, throwing into the street all his
furniture and medicine_ The mob then proceeded to Tod-
morden Hall, where Dr. Taylor, chairman to the board of
guardians, resides. Here their depredations were most de-
structive. They broke all the furniture within their reach,
burning the family pictures, and destroyed the carriages.—
Th enex t place they visited was Hare-hill, the residence of
Mr. H. Greenwood. Here, again, they destroyed the furniture,
and an attempt was made to set it on fire, which, however,
was totally unsuccessful. Having vented their fury upon the
property of this gentleman, the mob returned to Tormoden,
where they completed their work of destruction by breaking
the windows in the house occupied by the clerk of the guar-
dians. This was the last outrage committed, and some indi-
viduals having remonstrated with them on their unlawful
proceedings, they in a short time dispersed. While the work
of destruction was going on, information was sent to Burnley
and about eight o'clock in the evening two troops of cavalry
arrived in that. town. They were followed by a strong force
of infantry. Yesterday morning, aTomparry of artillery and
two troops of cavalry marched from Manchester for the pur-
pose of increasing the military force of that district; it is
therefore to be hoped that the presence of so powerful a body
of military will prevent the occurrence of any more outrages
of the same disgraceful character.

Notice has teen given that government will receive tenders
for the supply of 100,000 3210. balls.
