ETHELSTONE-•••-" I think a good whipping would be of gnat service to him. But if you will pledge yourself to me that -he shall never be guilty of so great an ?fence again, I will now discharge him." The mother very readily entered into this engagement, as did the fathers of the other. boys, and they were then dismissed.  The following are some farther depositions relative to the massacre on the 16th ult. _  Samar. Atioaszt, of No.ll, Portugal-street, I, am about 20 years of age, and am by trade a plasterer. I am a native of Ashford, near Sakeirell, Derbyshire, but work being scarce at home I came to Manchester to seek employment, and was induced by curiosity to go to Saint Peter's, and see the Meeting. I stood upon the railing at the next door to the sign of the Windmill, until the Cavalry came in among the crowd, and formed a circle round the Hustings. The people were then wedged close to where I stood, and I endeavoured to get in amongst them, but I could not succeed, and I therefore dropped into the cellar, or area, with about six others, and we crouched down in a corner to avoid being seen. At last one of the soldiers (ifter the people had been driven away) saw us, and he called out," D—n your souls, come oat of that cellar." We thought it best to comply to save our lives, and I was the first to come up into the street, and on doing so I saw three soldiers waiting to attack us; one made a severe cut at me, but by stooping down my head I avoided the blew, and I heard his sword rattle very hard against sontething. The man who stood second did , not attempt to strike me, but the third struck me with the flat I of his sword on the head, which did not hurt me much ; I then ran to get up with the rest of the crowd, and several of the Yett. many made cuts at me, but I avoided them. When I got is the crowd I endeavoured to force myself in among them, but their ; backs were towards me, and se close, that I could not succeed. —At this time several soldiers were striking the people with their swords, and one who was very active came up to me, and seeing his sword-arm uplifted, I and those next to me called out " Murder!" on Which he said. " Damn you, get along," and made a cut at one, which fell on my biead ; I put my lunidOp and fek to the top of my head; the crown of my hat bad been cut entirely off; I turned Foetid, and the Yeoman made a secoed cut, which penetrated through the front of the bat, and slightly wounded my forehead; I followed close to the aoirdil and was sometimes scrambling On the Emend, and sotnetirati on my feet, and by the canfuskse timeniceorlads and wane st the foremost falling, the ptsailk witalikd CA hirata upon non another, and while in this sitaatioa the YeDeleery still kept cutting at them. At kit I succeeded h gating out of the pressure, and went down Peter'oetreet, and eroded Dean's.gate where I got into an entry for safety, and then I discovered, ;kat 4 bad received a severe cut across the hack of my right band, Which has ever since disabled me from the use of It, and a stab on the elbow which penetrated to the bone. At one tinse, when the Yeoman was cutting at ins, ona of chef:lasers tame op to him, and lifting up his own sword, saidlo.the Yeoman, " You bloody rascal, that's nnirder ; if you do Jet again I'll split you down," and the Yeoman never struck OW afterwards- ((Signed Sept. 9, 1819.
