place yesterday evening, by the appearance
OF large party of Dragons, headed by our
constable (Mr. Kay) proceeding along our
streets, 'or tie purpose, as soon appeared,
of execu;ing an arrest of some persons. They
proceeded Immediately to the work shop Of
one Miller, blacksmith, whom they secu
red, and on searching his shop, eleven pike
kcads were found on the premises. The Pri-
soner was Immediately carried before Doctg:
Whitaker, who after an examination Of some
length, committed him to Preston, to which
place he was sent of in post-chaise: accom-
panied by proper escort.
need hardly say, that the discovery
of such dangerous weapons manufacturing
here, excited 10 small sensations of The evils
which the event brought together; nor did
subsequent events tend to lessen our apprc-
tensions for, at o'clock, this morning, a
person, named Morris, a machine maker,
was brought here from Pike Law, near Bel
thorn, in this neighborhooG, by constable
and party Of dragons. II IS understood
that some pistols, bullets, and unfinished
pixies, were found in his possession.
About o'clock, another person, named
Knowles, was brought here from Rawtan-
stall, escorted by party Of Dragons
