Stockport and Macclesfield were perfectly tranquil.
Mr. had and his associates had not been admitted
to bail ; sod of the whole party sent to prison ,at
the same Aims with him, not one had beta
bruited. From the.Fircamstaisce that M. Mut
lod been remanded for eaamination to this Bair Lt
tits inferred that the Magistrates had sent to Lon-
don for iestructinns how to act. The Watch sod
Ward Act was .hest to be psi, in twice in Manches-
ter, *Lich would impose.. all the male Inhabitants
the deity of patreling the streets, and of assisting.
in commit with the military; in-the asislenance of
order. The tone of the public mind in Manchester
;a reprroented as estrrniely depressed and gloomy ;
I %tinted by the most legions alarms about the future,
and tinctured with the deepest regret at the fatal con.
sequences that had attended the precipitate conduct of
their townsmen.

as All the roads leading fro■ this town to Ashton,
Stockport, Cheadle, Stratford., Liverpool, Rochdale,
Oldham, Bury, Bolton, etc. ate covered with wound-
ed stragglers, whs have not yet been able to reach
their homes after the events of Monday. f have
ascertained, from pretty accents information, that
there are 17 wounded persons along she Stockport
road ; 13 or 14 on the Ashton road ; at least tr) are
on the Oldham ; seven or eight on the Rochdale ;
besides I others on the roads to Liverpool, &c.
, One woman died last night at E. Ora, five sides
hence, of the wounds she received. Seven persons
iu all are said to be dead.

Mr. Mime is not (lead, as at first reported : he
reenvrresi the am of his 'roses this surning, and
sold the 4orgenno Who attended him, that he had a
wound its his bark. It was immediately eta.
misted, and a wound di•cosrred, made appar►ntly
with a penknife, bat fortunately in a t ble
part."

66 Yoe will by this time have seen the details corn.
mooicated by the two Manchester Newspapers of the
tragical scene which has been witnessed in this place.
uerd not tell you that both the Altremr# and Herald
are violently aristocratical, and at all times succumb
to the powers that be. Yes must not, therefore, pay
implicit confidence to their statements. As to the
names of the persons killed, they are correct; but
with regard to the wounded and mutilated, they fell
. . . .

♦err far sort of the actual number ; and it is with
feelings of the deepest aupaish and regret (I had
almost said lathy:olbn) I learn that nearly lOU per-
son., more Of less mutilated (,orne psst all hope of
recovers), were carried to their respective houses;
and if we add to these the number who received

slighter w (tends, bruises, and other persooal injuries,
bet sot such as to prevent them from attempting to
reach their own homes is the country, we may

fairly calculate the whole number at nut less than
foe, hundred.—To whom, it may be •eked,
la this mischief and waste of life to be emitted

It was too meth, when no breach of the peace had
been committed on the part of the Reformers, beyond
. .

that of their assembling, to let loose se poirerful
military force, to charge indiscriminately, in all di-
rections, among sn unarmed defenceless rabble of
men, women, and children! • • * • • • •
It Is not fur me to say on whose head the blood that
has been shed sill rest :—all I know is, that from
the line of conduct resolved and acted upon, the cnn.
sequences could not be expected to prove less dim'.
trona than they have ; and the only wonder is, that
many more lives were tint oectificell. Poor Ashworth
was shockingly trampled on and mutllaied, and pre-
puled a most horrid spectacle.
•' The numbers assembled in the town, end at the
place of meminz, were about (oar times as greet as at
the last Meeting when Mr. Ifnut presided; bet had
it not been for the uncalled-Tni interference of the
military, there can be no (Mk whatever that every
thing would have gone off eirpeaceehly as it did be-
fore. The great body of the people, though cut and
trampled on in early direction, evinced no disposi-
tion in commit any sanguinary act ; and, with the
exception of the young man belonging to the Yee-
manry, who lost his life by falling from his horse and
being trampled upon, all the others were injured by
the soldiery. I dread to anticipate what will yet be
the result of all these proceedings.
" indeed, oar Magistrates and Police are so pink
struck that they add to our alarm'. At half-post
ten o'clock this morning they sent ostlers to close the
Kicheisge, and bills were stock up threw:ooot the
town ordeting the inhabitants :o shut op their shops
and manefectoties, en an alarm that thousands of
the Reformers, well armed, were in fall march to
Manchester. It would appear from the result, that
not even the least pains were taken to ascertain she.
Cher there was any truth in the report.
" Thus were we all thrown into the most dreadful
Ostia apprehension and dismay, without the least
cause but the hasty credulity of those who guard over
our welfare. Where our alarms a►e to end, ender
such auspices, we know ant; but ouch are our un-
definable anticipations, that all thinking men wish
that one or two of the coal•headed Wow-street Ma-
gistrates, would favour us with their presence for a
few days, to prevent any further blunders from pre-
ciplancy."

[FROM THE CHESTER CHRONICLE, EXTRA.]

Thus ended the Meeting; but not thus the cense.
(peaces of the measure used in its dispersion. Our
Reporter himself saw six coaches, three carts,snd three
litters, loaded with the wounded, proceeding to-
wards the Infirmary. Some of the girls, dressed in
white, who were on the !milli's, were among the
'timber.
It was rumnered in the town, after the disturber

had somewhat subsided, that the hint Act Wee read
preciously to the first charge of the Yeomanry. We
state this rumour, as we are ectremely ermines to
present a pe►fectly impartial narrative to the Pub.
