From the third edition Of the Blackburn Mail
MAIL OFFICE, THURSDAY AFTEREooa.
Finding that Misrepresentation has arisen from
our account of the proceedings at Grimshaw farS,
on Monday afternoon, 10 consequence OF our nav
ing used somewhat too strong an expression, VIZ
that the soldiers were orerp0rered by the mob,
which is not correct in the full oil that word;
we are anxious to set the public right upon the
subject. Our meaning was, not that the soldiers
driven off, but (as the fact really was,) thai
the mob being SO numerous, ELECTED an entrance
into the factory at three four places at once,
which it was utterly impossible from the nature Of
the ground for the soldiers to prevent.
We have received accounts OF the proceedings
of the mob, or rather various parties oil the mob
at other places, viz Long Holme, near Rawtem'
stall, Edcn6eid Cadderon, and Bacup, at each oil
which the power looms in the factories there were
destroyed at Bacup we understand, there we've
four factories which shared this tate, and II thus APP
pears that in the course OF yesterday no less than
eight factories were entered by the mob, and The
power looms in them completely destroyed. We
sorry 70 add that at the attack on the Chadder-
ton factory eleven OF the mob (ten men and wo
many were shot dead, and that one OF the dragons
stationed there together with his horse and also one
OF q party Of riflemen, we're likewise killed.
A gentleman who came by the mail from Man
chester last night, also informed US that the lanes
between here and Bolton were literally filled with
people, who were apparently coming across the
country from the neighboIhood where the above RI
OTIS were committed and that the yeomanry and cav
airy were mustered.
We have Just received Information that similar
proceedings 10 the above have been begun al Ash
ton. under-Lyne and Oldham. Al the former place
we learn that an attack has been made Of the
factories there, and that in the attempt thirty five
lives lost.
Half past three, II. .M.--An express has Just
rived from Chorley with the Intelligence lha,
siderable party were approaching the town. The
troop OF Dragons who came from Leeds were i'm
mediatey mustered and have just started, sword in
hand, at full speed, for Chorley.
Halt past sir, =. .M.-We stop The press TO
announce that the soldiers Just returned, the
MOI having, previous to their arrival IN Chorley,

The three men who were said in our second ed
ticn 10 be then under examination at the Sessions
Room, we've fully committed 10 Lancaster Castle,
and conveyed there last nieht-Ihe six men who
were first unprecedented were brought from Preston
this morning, and again examined at The Sessions
Room, when TWO Of them we're fully committed to
Lancaster Castle. The others were remanded.
This morning another man was spprehended, at
Darwen, and brought here soon afterwards, who it
appears was one Of the party that entered he fac
tory at Chaddlrton. He has not yet been examn-
