ALARMING RIOTS AT BRISTOL.


ALARMING RIOTS AT BRISTOL.
The most important intelligence by this
arrival, is that disturbances Of most appall-
ing nature, have occurred at Bristol in Eng
land.
The presence Of Sir Charles Wetherel,
who is Recorder of the city of Bristol. and
who attended there for the purpose of hold
ing the Assize Court, seems to have been
the exciting cause Of the disastrous scenes
which occurred. Sir Charles has been the
most decided and prominent opponent ofthe
Reform Bill in the House of Commons. But
few days previous to the Propagation of
Parliament, in most violent speech, he tax
ed the Ministry with giving countenance to
the attacks on the person of the Marquis of
Londonderry. and to the rioters who lie.
stroyed Nottingham Castle. He probably
little thought of so soon becoming himself
the object of the peoples hostility.
1t is usual for the mayor and the sherffs.
an6 the civic cortege, to meet the Recorder
ut Tottertown, about Il mile from the city.
There he leaves his own carriage, and en-
tiers the more gorgeous one of the mayor.
Our present mayor is a reiormcT, and might
nave been very popular, but since he enter
ca on ONCE he has kept himself entirely
aiooi' 10 was attended by crowd of lit
Tie more than thousand persons, who, on
| the approach of the Recorder, set up most
discordant noise of groans and Kisses. Sir
Charles appeared very pale, and his hand
was by no means firm as he placed it on the
PANEL of the coach to assist him in. He
Immediately shrunk into corner of the
coach, and was very little sean by the crowd.
AT Ilillsbridge the crowd increased, and
in some way Information was sent TO the
Magistrates that it was intended here to
drsg Sir Charles from the coach, and throw
him in the river; n troop of the 18th was
stationed about 100 yards up the tanks in
the New Market. There were about 800
special constables Immediately surrounding
the coach. On the road to Guildhall the
crowd continued to increase. The mos,
dreadful noises continued the whole way
and occasionally a stone was thrown, but nc
injury was done. The procession proceed.
ed to the Mansion House, and the Sheriff.
were allowed to alight and enter very peace
ably the constabes then formed denst
line between the carriage and the door o
the house, and the moment Sir Charlie
