Ott Monday last , Dewsbury signalised itself by one bf those mighty demonstrations agaiiistW liig « ippreawon which are now becoming aogeneral'th ' rough .-p ut the country . Iu conseiiuence of the uncourteouK : < J 3 " / opu ^ condncf &t h \ r . ' liigham , one of ' ' the ± iX' ( Micm Guardiaus , at a former meeting of ihut ; body , and of the dwturbances which afterwards eui sued , a considerable degree of interest was excited aa . to ^ tfte probable result of the next meeting . Per-IbapS j however , the timidity of Mr . Ingham on the onejiafld ; and the nntnber of soldiers , special con ^ gables , and metropolitan policttuieu , on the othrr . hand , contributed more to ; excite the interest of the
peopie ^ and to bring them together , than anything elsev The facts of the late disturbance have already been . laid before ; our readers . One ot the conse _ o , uences of that disturbange wai a resolution ou the part of the opposition GuardianM , not to attend : any meetings Of the Board of Guardians , uutil they had mempnalised Lord John Russell relative to the Eb wer of the Guardians as a body . Mr . Ingham aymg asserted that he wonld carry it into effect it he could but obtain two other persons to act with him . Mpndayvlaat was the day when the meeting of the Hoard of Guardians was to be THsunied , aud much excitement prevafled as to its resnIt . Early in tbV Morning , number of people Were observed going towards the town in all directions ; and a great
concourse were a 8 . sembled in the marki't-place , jmd near the school-room , where the Guardians met . Ten o ' clock was the time of meetjng- To prevent disturbances , gr . at precaution had ; been used in providing sufficient force , aud issuing orders to nrrest all persons who were found m anyway breakiuB the peace . No less than about m-ebuhdred special constables were sworn in ; to these were added , three troopsrof Lancers , consisting Of . forty-two soldiers in each troop ; two troops ot Royal Riflemen , brought purposely from Hull , ot forty in . each troop , aird about thirty of the--Metro-Politan Police . . 3 Fb . eiyddm . jn wMcu th « Gtiaraiai * met was guarded both by the Metropoliiau Pijicejnen and the spec . al eoristables , being entirely tiled with the latter class of
peace-preservers . A resblntion having been passed at the last meeting of the Guardians to close them against the public , reporters were refused admittance . We leurued , however , that there were only seven Guardians present , all dt whom were favourable to , the law , and the two Ex' Qfficios ^ Messrs . [ ogham and Hague . The only business which' was transacted wai the appointing of two relieving ofheersi who are named Crott and Pickersgill ; the former , a clerk with a Mr . U'adswprlb , of Millsbridge , and the latter , au assistant overseer and workhouse master at Ossett . Tne Moiseof the special constables , together with tbti manner in which the Guardians whispered to ench other all that they had to say and propose—leaning
over the table at whieh ; they rfat , and only breathing all t | ieir communications as if they were concocting . « pme diabolical cbnspiracy- ^ rendered it impossible to hear what wa * jjoing on . ' At abodt halt-past eleven o ' clock the Guardiansi seemed' to have tiuiehed their business , and preparations were then madefor reuTioving to the Royal Hotel . " About this time , the crowd ronud the schiool room was very greats and a number of |> ersons bad- assembled themselves in a neld opposite . They made a great noise , and seemed much excited . One of the policemwn was heard tosay , ^ D---ti them , they'll neither do one thing nor' tother ; if , . they'd only begin we'd know whot to do With . ' em . " „ Just as these words were being utteredj a rusn bf the people prevented our
reporter , wlioheard the pohcemau make use of the words , from seeing his number , andhe wa » not able again to recognize him . ; . The whole of the pbliceiuea theii forin ^ d themselves into- a' doiible line in pe ^ hopl-iropmv ' and Mr- Iagham and hi * brethr ^ ii in iniquity proceeded , to placeahemselves within the limes formed by ttfe jjiihee officeni . Ppbr Ingham trembled -48 it ] his l ^ t m oments were at hand ; hja laoealternately «» xnibited ared endpalewppearance , and his legs seemed scarcely able to support his body vithileM wtilked % the dbdr . " Then came the '' awful moment , when he entered the street As goon as it wja » perqeiyed , that -Ke ' .- ; and . the Guardians were on XM move , the people' set up a loud shout , which seemed td 'bethe signal- fer actipri ; A general tush
