The Exchange at Manchester was again thrown into some alarm on Wednesday, by a statement, emanating from the same authentic source that gait currency to the report, that many thousands of pikemen were on their march, to take summary vengeance for the blood that had been shed at the Public Meeting. On the present occasion, however, the fact alleged was not in prospect, but was stated to have already taken place. A Watch and Ward Man had, it was affirmed, been murdered on the preceding evening, while on duty—a report calculated to excite this inference : that vigorous measures were necessary to protect the inhabitants from the daggers of assassins. People, however, have turned somewhat sceptical as to the truth of rumours emanating from those conuected with the Manchester Police. The report was enquired into, and it proved to be a fabrication. Many of the inhabitants of Manchester have felt themselves called upon to express their abhorrence of the ferocious manner in which the assembled multitude were assailed on the 16th ultimo. We speak not now of the Ultra-Reformers, but of the indeperi•" dent part of the community, who have not the fear of the Magistracy, the Police, and the Yeomanry before their eyes—who are in circumstances to enable them to vindicate their own character, and that of the inhabitants generally, from every imputation of participating in, or approving of; the cruelties by which the Town was disgraced, on the occasion of the Meeting that had such a tragical result.--(See the " Declaration and Protest," inserted in a preceding column.)  There is, our Readers will see by our accounts from Manchester, _ a report that another Public Meeting will soon be held in that place. We hope not,—and for many reasons. The public feeling is at this moment in so high a state of excitement by the barbarities inflicted on the last Meeting, that we much question, whether the people could be able to conduct themselves in the same quiet, orderly, and peaceable manner, which marked every part of their conduct on the former occasion: or, rather, we believe that this would be absolutely impossible, while every one of the former atrocities exercised upon them remain saporaished And the result might he, that some intemperate expression of their feelings, might furnish their enemies with what should never be afforded thent--a fair pretext for again letting  • loose upon the Meeting the variant but nating Yeomanry. We have had suffic;eat already, that the most peaceable and inoliens' duct furnishes no security, in Manchester, military execution : and we would be sorry 0,, people should be so infatuated as to exp„„ selves a second time to their tender—mmies. T, lers may, from ignorance, traverse a forest 1 they may be assailed by tigers ; but baviag once attacked. in That route, few would be foolish as to expose themselves, a second time, same perils.
