RIOTS AT LIVERPOOL.

The late riots at Liverpool, on Tuesday and
Wednesday sennight, is ere of a more serious na-
ture than the public aro aware uf. The following
arc the particulars :
A party of the' 19th light dragoons, which were
in that town, to onhark for Ireland, and a press_
gang quarrelled ; the press-gang in several in.
stances behaved very ill, pirticularly one of them,
called Little Jack ; the soldiers were joined by
some Americans, Portuguese, Irishmen, and the
town's-people, who collected in a very,. large
body, and repaired to the rendezvous-holifes in
Strand-street and Bird-street, in search of.. the
gang ; but not finding them, they /Mean
,to ill
treat the people they found in the Looses, and
then proceeded to acts of violence ; they brute
the furniture and the windows. By'this times
very alarming mob had collected, and 'which
coming to the knowledge of Mr. Aspinall, a very
'active Magistrate, he repaired to the spot, accom-
panied by Mr. Miller, the Superintendent of the
Police, attended by a number of twistable!, and,
after much persuasion, and threatening to call out
the military, &c. they dispersed about II o'clock
at night; nut, however, until several of the
ringleaders were taken into custody. . On. the
Wednesday evening, the rioters assembled again,.
and conducted themselves with increased violence,
and entirely destroyed the inside of five rendezvous
houses, ripped open the beds, and threw the
&others into the streets ; in fact, they destroyed
every thing that was valuable in them. On Mr.
Miller, the Superintendant of the Police, receiving
information of what was doing, be repaired to the
spot, attended by six or seven constables, and suc-
ceeded in taking four of the ringleaders into cus.
tody • but as they were on their way to Britiewell,
two Of then were rescued from the officers 14 the
'mob. In this senfile with the officers, a Portu.
guest', sailor particularly aimed at the life of Mr.
Miller ; he was armed a ith a large /-nife, and at-
tempted to stab him, but was prevented from effect-
ing hii. putpose, dr. Miller being knocked down
by another of the rioters, at the moment the stab
was made ; his colt was cut in two places with the
knife. While this outrageous assault was going
on aininst the officers, a party of the Manchester
Local Militia, who were on duty there, came to
the officers' assistance, headed by the Mayor, atilt
Mr. Aspinall, the Magistrate. The mob, at this
time, were carrying their violence to such a pitch,
that it was found necessary to read the Riot Act ;
every person was then desired to depart, but it
was with great difficulty they could be prevailed
upon to do so ; ten of the most riotous were at
length ',cured, and ire of them babe been com.
milted to Lancaster Castle, to like "their trials Ai
the ensuing assises. The %trellis patrulcd 101
streets for several nights afterwarls.

An accident of the most horrid drcription 044
curred at the Cape of Good ll,pe. Three Briti‘li
Officen from the garrison, having gone oat -opal
party of pleasure to the Table Menootaitti •werti
overtaken by,the night. Before they could ma
gain the plain, they lost their trash, wand(4wd;
and separated. One of them, with much d.ficalty4
at length found his way Tutu the lowa ; but nu w
telligence having been received of lois companions
a party went oat in search of them. Tlicy wer
both found at the foot of a prodigious pirecipice,l
.crashed and spangled in the most dreadful manner.`
One of them, an Altt.de.Catnp to Lord lialedoot,;

point of death. Both of these unfortunate soofier.l
