There had been serious disturbances in

those of the principal Cotton manulac-
lures. They began in general turn out

be the result uf political conspiracy Of
the Charlis,s. The papers are full of the
details of proceedings in the different
towns. The interference of the military
was necessary in various instances, and
troops were despatched by railway from
London. The disturbances had in a con-
siderable degree subsidized. The follow

So far as the manufacturing district of
Lancashire is concerned, ''thc insurrec-
tom is at an end. The SACRED weell'
has terminated. The League has held its
seditious festivals-has filed our iais
with its dupcd victims-has plunged hun

crime; anil we are left at leisure to sum up
the cord of its guilt and to ask for the
judgment upon it Of an impartial people.
As yet the evidence before us of the
connexion Of this factious body with the
outbreaks which have just taken place is
incomplete. As yet we cannot unravcl
all the inrcaces of this wicked conspira-

has supplied those means without which
no proceedings, such as those of the turn
out operatives, can be carried on.-We
cannot trace to any one pocket the gold
which has kept two hundred thousand
people for the past ten days in food and
drink-which has enabled them to pla-
card our walls, and incur expenses far
above the means Of parties engaged in such
movements.-Bu that there has been
such a pockct-tlat some inhenlial party |
has blcd; ant blcd freely, to carry on this
war of agitation and outrage, can scarce

the Anti Germ law League has fed this
'lnsurreclion" there are few to doubt;
and unless we are much misled, the mvs-
terry will in good season be cleared up to
the conviction Of the leader.
OF one thing we are certan-this out
break might have been put down in an
hour. A greater farce than has been the
pretended resistance of the working class
