CHARTIST RIOTS AT LLANIDLOES.  (From the Salopian Journal.) It appears that, for some weeks past, the Chartist Revolutionists at Llanidloes and its vicinity have been arming themselves in pursuance of the treasonable advice of the villains who are their leaders ; they had purchLaseUCT-d such tire :.arms as initAtu t r[l, 111 tor atlSpitc.ad w factured by their partisans, and parties had gone out into the country and taken arms from the farmers and others who possessed them : in consequence, a communication was made to the Secretary of State, and three of the London Police were sent to Llanidloes, where they arrived on Monday last. These men, on their arrival, with the aid of Blinkhorn, the chief police officer of Newtown, Lewis, also a policeman, and other local officers, acting •under the direction of the local Magistrates, apprehended certain parties charged with being concerned in the outrages that had been committed, and took them to the Trewythen Arms Inn. This was the signal for a general rising of the revolutionists of the town and its vicinity, who immediately, being armed with guns, pistols, pikes, and bludgeons, proceeded to the Trewythen Arms, the windows and doors of which they broke, and having forced their way in, they rescued the parties that had been apprehended, nearly killed the police officers, (indeed, it is yet doubtful, if actual murder has not been committed, some of the police being still missing,) turned the landlord, Mr. Evans, and his family, out of the house, and completely ransacked the cellars and every other part of the property. The resident magistrate, T. E. Marsh, Esq. had a pike run through his hat, while endeavouring, in his official capacity, to preserve the peace ; and we regret to say that yesterday, when our information came away, the town of Llanidloes was in possession of the revolutionists, and it is impossible to describe the situation of terror in which the respectable residents of the town and its vicinity were placed, or to say what may have occurred up to the time of our writing. Two of the London policemen had been stabbed ; Blinkhorn, the policeman, was picked up, dreadfully injured, on the road from Llanidloes, and conveyed to Llandinam ; and Lewis, with some of the others, as we have already mentioned, were missing when our informant left. Mr. Marsh, with the Clerk of the Peace for Montgomeryshire (Joseph Jones, Esq.) arrived yesterday evening (express) and stated the circumstances to the Viscount Clive, the Lord-lieutenant of Montgomeryshire, who is in Shrewsbury, as Colonel of the South Salopian regiment of yeomanry now assembled for permanent duty. His lordship, we need scarcely add, has taken every requisite step in the emergency ; and Mr. Marsh and Mr. Jones were again expressed immediately to Montgomeryshire. The Montgomeryshire yeomanry were under orders to hold themselves in readiness to act ; and should there be an immediate occasion, we understand the South Salopian yeomanry will be instantly marched to Llanidloes and the neighbourhood.  We hear that the Duke of St. Albans is about to he married to Miss Gubbins, daughter of the late General Joseph Gubbins.—Morniny Post. The Hon Henry Fitzroy, only brother of Lord Southampton, is about to form a matrimonial alliance with one of the beautiful and wealthy daughters of Mr. Rothschild. The bride will have £140,000.
