turned out the hands, calling in their way at the
Police Office (or look-up,) where they released
prisoners, burnt all the papers and books they
found in the Office, aud destroyed all the iurp',
ture After committing this act they proceeded
to the large factory near the House OF Correction,
where they broke open the watch house, tore the
books, and broke the windows. They then re-
turned to the prison, opposite which the Whole
mob assembled, but there was not one of mem
daring enough to lead on his fellows. They would,
in all probability. have met with a very warm re-
ception, for considerable preparations had oeeh
made to receive them. They lowered about tor
some time. when considerable number OF them
went TO Gallows.hill, to hold meeting, and pass
resolutions similar to those intended to have oten
adopted in London to-day, (Monday.) The town
has been since quiet, which we may in some mea-
sure at,ribure to the very heavy rain that has fa-
len since o'clock. Expresses have been sent to
Manchester aud aokburn for military, which
we are hourly expecting Mr.. Hunt left here in
the Leeds coach, at ten this morning.
RRIsroL-Extract of letter dated Nov. 9TH,
lSSl.-rhe Bishop Of Bath and W ellis, being, it
is said, expected at Wells yesterday. there was
fear Of commo,on there, and troops, | under
stand, were ordered to the spot in consequence
In Bristol melancholy quiet has prevailed
snce my arrival, broken but by the hustle of mill
tarv vigilance, and the visits Of strangers morbid
ly curious respecting the details of whatever ars-
es to shock or afflict the general mind. Yester
day was marked BY the tranquility of village
Sabbath. The measures of precaution, however,
remained unrelaxed, and the yeomanry cavalry
have been as before obliged to continue on duty
in Queens square. despite the nclemency of the
weather, until o'clock this morning.
Other disturbances had taken place in Maccles
field and Coventry, but they were quelled with
GU, much injury.
The number Of fires supposed TO have been oc-
casioned by incendiaries, was very great aud ex-
tended through various parts of the country

Cholera Morbus. There is every reason to be-
eve that the cases reported in Newcastle as having
occurred at Sunderland. were not offrreign cri
gin, and not at all the characteristics of the Ash
attic cholera. The following is the certificate
of the attending physicians as to the principal
case.
Symptoms Of Oswaid Resy's Case. as reported

His age was IS, and his habits scare. At IL

purgins of liquid like thin Cruel, spasms of the
feet extending up the legs to the stomach, occa-
siona vomiting Of similar fluid. In the night,
the neighbors alarmed BY his groans. Domestic

cold and clammy, extreme thirst, but mind tran

the attack; distressing symptoms relieved by
means employed. At half past nine, easier but

incipient coma. Died TRANQUILITY at half past A.
NJ. 90 hours and half from the commencement
of his illness. Notwithstanding the similarity Of
the S, mptoms to those described under the name
of foreign cholera, are OF opinion that the above
detailed disease has had no foreign origin.
Our reasons are, that the patient was before at
tackled by a similar disorder; that as an engineer
he was not exposed to the influence of any suspi-
cious affected material; that none such had been

one of the individuals about him before or since
his death has been affected; and, lastly, that ex-
treme cases of English cholera have occasionally
proved fatal even in shorter time than that of
Reay. We may add to all these the fact, that
the deceased had within fortnight removed from
healthy airy situation, Oh Gateshead Fell, to q
confined residence in SYNDICATE.

Notwithstanding the belief that the alarm was
unfounded, much uneasiness continued to prevail
on the subject. In the London Quarterly Review
for November, we find an article well calculated
to increase their apprehensions, to which we shall
advert at more leisure. All the London papers
are full Of the subject. Still, it was agreed that
the SIX cases which had occurred at Sunderland
and in the vicinity five of which were fatal were
the common. and not the sPasmodic Cholera

bury had prepared the following
