Mi deie Fbiends , —It generally happens that tSk the trcmbkeinto which the TiBany of oar enemies leads the people fall upon my shoulders at last , and go it is now . The Cora Law League hoped to make tods of oar party for the accomplishment of their own base ends , bat hare riguitly failed , in their direct attempt . They have Eueceeded 5 however , in subjecting hundreds of dor best men to torture and persecution , and to inearoentfjon for want of enormous bail ; thus prejudging and punishing by anticipation the Liberal" Magistrates straininc every nerre to
remove the leaders of that opposition , which has reduced the free trade ranks to a faction merely to be laughed at . ' They hare done this in the hope of making a vigorous straggle , during the winter , for the restoration of the "Whigs , headed by Palmereton , upon a pledge to carry out the principles of free trade . But despair not . Those spon whom the tyrants eonld not pounce , will each do ten men ' s work . I will meet them at all points , will ba'tle them and best them . But , my friendB , what can ghe greater nerve to faction than the hope that neglect of our ¦ victims will cause dre&d in our
ranks , silence our opposition , scare others from taking the place of those who hare been suffered to go to trial and receive punishment , without even the semblance of defence , while their families are consigned to beggary and starvation ! This is too much to expect from any , and is likely to intimidate all . I have bad seTeral letters in quiring as to the course that I mean to pursue in respect of the approaching Commissions . I have been asked whether or no I mean to confine the defence merely to Chartist prisoners , or to include all who were connected with the strike 1 My answer is this : —
It is my intention to defend every man , whether ChartUt sr not , who is to be tried for taking part in the League ' s revolution . It is my intention to defend Mr . Tomer , the TORY , who stands charged with printing a certain placard , as well as Leach , the honoured President of our tet litixg a > t ) still j £ 06 . fkhikq Assocunos ; and the brave White and bold Cooper ; it is my intention to see that each and all are defended . There is one case , however , which particularly occupies my attention , and should arrest that of every lover of justice and mankind . The derils have resolved upon making the tragedy as deep as possible , and not satisfied without blood ,
they mean to try Ellis of Stafford , for High Treason , of eourse by a Jury poisoned by the viperous press against him . He must have counsel , but he must have two , and those the beet ; his life is as dear as that of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and must not be forfeited to our apathy . I know that it is not your practice to spur a free-horse to death ; but bear in mind that the defence of the prisoners in 1839 j efc tke fund over £ 300 in my debt ; and since then the frequent draws upon me have put it cut of my power to relieve the "country of the duty of subscribing for the defence of all the prisoners . I advanced nine hundred guineas fer the employment of counsel for Frost , Williams , and Jones : but I
cannot do so now , and the whole sum as yet subscribed falls Ehort of £ 12 . Under these circum-Eianees , yon mnst say what i 3 to be done . Many parties have written to me about engaging solicitors for themselves , and speak of raising separate funds . Nothing could be more injurious . In 1839 the fund raised for Stephens would have covered the whole eipence of Frost ' s trial , and all others ; and many others had subscriptions , none of which were appropriated to their defence , while all was thrown upon my shoulders .
Now , wha-t I propose is this : —That one fund be raised for the general defence . If we must employ Epecial counsel for Ellis , the whole will cost about £ 1 , 000 ; but if each man be allowed to employ his own solicitor , the expence would be about £ 30 , 000 . As Mr . R . B . B . Cobbett is on the spot , and already master of most of the cases , and near the evidence which we shall require , I propose thai he should be employed generally for Lancashire ,
leaving the selection of counsel to me . Mr . Roberts , of Bath , has undertaken to act as solicitor for the Staffordshire victims , with no more remuneration than his expences . "We could not have a bettex man ; and I , therefore , propose that his offer be accepted , and thai he be invited to proceed to Stafford forthwith , in order that the defences may be well got up . Now , if this course meets with general approbation , let the means of carrying it into effect be at once set about .
Of course , after the heartless answer given by the Sturgues to the application on behalf of poor honest George White , we have no hope from that quarter ; bnt White shall not be under any obligation to them ; and perhaps the time may come when another express may be sent from Nottingham to me , to start at night from London , to aid in Mr . Sturge ' s return ; and perhaps I may be able to write " NO , " and a thumping one , as well as the cold-hearted blood hounds whom White charges with entrapping
him , and who then insult him because he would not allow then to betray his party . I always told you that there was not an hones ter ereature or . a braver in existence than poor George . Indeed , it appears that the vipers have selected our best and honestest men as their prey ; but we mnst defend them . One gtstleman , yon will have seen , who styles himself " A Hater of Oppres-Eion , " ha 3 given £ 2 , but with that middle-class clemency cease 3 , —perhaps they mean to reserve their clemency for the jury-box .
I am resolved that the originators of the revolution shall be exposed ; and , therefore , let a Commute be instantly appointed at Manchester for receiving evidence . The devils are moving heaven and earth in London to seduce the Chartists from their fidelity , but all in vain ; whatever colours they recruit under we soon see the cloven foot of t ' ne " Free-traders . " Not a man can they crimp ; and rely upon it that they shall not take the capitol either by slorm or surprise . Would it not have been matter of rcjoiciDg had I been fast by the heel 3 , while the people were to be defended , and faction was to make its market ? But , thank God , I am at large in Epite of ALL , and still upon the wstch-tower to cry out , " WOLF , " " WOLF , " " WOLF " so the lambs need not fear .
TrastiDg that this appeal will be speedily answered , so that our enemies may not say that Chartism and public spirit have ? etrograd&d , I am , your faithful friend , FEABGrS O'Co'NOB .

THE EXECUTIVE OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION TO THE PEOPLE . Brother Chabti 5 T 3 . —At the present moment , when the most anxious endeavours of the combined factions have been industriously at work , fer the purpose of destroyiig that movement which we , as jour responsible servants , have been as assiduously endeavouring to establish upon a sound and pennanect basis , you have naturally been looking to us for that counsel and advice which , as your elected
ser-Tantejit is our duty to tender . From the circumstances in which we have been placed—one being banished , and two others in different parts of the country in custod y of Governmental authorities—it was wholly out of our power to lay our views before you at an earlier period ; and indeed we only embrace this , the 2 rst opportunity for our re-assembling , to prepare your mind s for those suggestions which hereafter we shall submit to you . In the present crisis the whole public mind should be devoted to the allabsorbing consideration of the best means of
releasing our victimised friends from those chains in ¦ "Web . for a time faction has tyrannically bound «« n . To the performance of that duty , for the pre-* & **> we inrite TOur && ^ your every toonghi , and Wafitt the conflict of mock trials * ad special commissions shall have terminated ; when the empire of reason shall be again restored , —and when the mind shall have been calmed after the raging storm , then shall we be prepared to Justify every act of our own ; to prove even to the most critically fastidious that in all our transactions we have acted in strict accordance with the w , unjust though it be .
In the mean time our every energy should be at work , and til oar faculties rtrung , in order to give * && to those principles which are alike dear to you

and ourselves . Brethren , despair not ; democracy has been under many clouds before , and has as often burst through the mists of despotism with increased refuJgency and splendour . Watch our enemies in whatever shape they may present themselves before you ; fight the battle with them inch by inch upon the field of principle ; and right must ultimately triumph over might . In order to accomplish this desirable object , and to foil the enemies of freedom , every nerve must be strained , every exertion increased * to raise funds to defend those patriots who have fallen into the pit dug for them alike by Whig and Tory . At present there is no other alternative . We ,
therefore , urgently urge on the friends of humanity , justice , and patriotism , the paramount necessity of instanter setting to work , to furnish our friends with the means to fee counsel , and to support them-3 elvfts and families whilst in the trammels of the law . To avoid expence , we would recommend where practicable , that the same counsel should attend upon as many prisoners * &s possible . We also most seriously urge upon the whole country to Bend all monies collected for the victims to be forwarded to Mr . O'Connor , 252 , Strand , London ; and that he should have the power to expend the money so collected until after the trials , in the manner that his judgment may dictate .
In conclusion , we hope that you will shew the same firmnera in this trying ordeal that haa distinguished you in former exigencies . Hoping that you will do your duty in the sacred cause of freedom , We remain , Your brother democrats , And faithful servants and representatives , J . Campbell , Secretary .

The struggle between the power-loom weavers and their employers is still going on , each manifesting a determination not to give in . What will be the end we cannot pretend to say , but we fear that might will again triumph over right There is this , however , in favour ef the weavers , that one of the most obstinate of the HnanufaC ^ niers , one that had his factory windows broken on Monday afternoon , at the time when , the poliee was guarding the dtad body of poor Lyons . Ttes gentleman give bis weavers the advance on

Tuesday , and a present of money for the women to have a comfortable cup of tea in the evening . The factory commenced working at noon on Tuesday . This has given a fresh tone to the strike , for we know of one mill that the weavers bad come to the conclusion of going in on the same conditions that they came out on ; but as Boon as they beard that Mr . Thompson , of Mill-street , had given the advance , they called a meeting of the hands , and determined upon trying a few days longer . Mr . B . Donovan was arrested at Stockport on Sunday night , and brought to Manchester in a post-chaise , and when brought before the magistrates , on Monday morning , there was no charge against him . He was forthwith discharged . Mr . D . said be was much obliged to them for the ride home , for it was much pleasanter riding in a carriage than walking on foot .
Wednesday . Since I wrote last , theie is a great change in the strikor—the power-loom weaver ' s strike seems to be nearly terminated . I have been in conversation with some of the Weaver ' s Committee , and they tell me , in meat instances , there is a general disposition to resume work , the masters engaging to better the condition of their operatives , and some few of them having given a slight advance , so that I think the whole of the mills will be at work to morrow , with their full compliment of bands . THURSDAY MOBNING .
Termination of the Strike . —The strike in the manufacturing districts may now be considered aa having terminated ; many of the mills commenced working yesterday afternoon , and this morning the people are going to work as if there had never been any difference between them and the employers ; but although work is resumed , the effects have not ended , nor tyranny banished , for the manufacturers are the same men they always were . They have oommenced their old work of selecting victims fur their fury ; and all who have taken an active part in the turn-out are discharged , and , on account of the superabundance of labour in the labour market , thtse men are marked oat , and thrown upon the world to starve for the part they have taken in this struggle of suffering humanity against the avaricious cupidity of capital .

PRESTON . In the course cf last week a writ came down from the Lord Chancellor , addressed to the Clerk of the Crown for the Duchy of Lancaster , Mr , R . W . Hopkins , whoBe effice is in this town , ordering a gaol delivery for the 1 st of Oct at Lancaster . The writ was forwarded to the High Sheriff , Mr . T . R . W . France , who issued summonses to about 100 jurymen , addressed to various parts of the county . There are 112 prisoners committed from different parts of the county to Kitkdale gaol , besides nine who
were out on bail ; but as it is not stated whether it will be a general gaol delivery , it ia Dot known whether those who stand committed for trial at the next quarter sessions will be included in the commission . On this subject the decision of the three Judges appointed to the commission will be received here at the Sheriff ' soffice to-morrow . The prisoners in the gaol at Salford are very numerous , but in Preston House of Correction there are only five , and in Lancaster but two , committed on charges connected with the late riots . There will be two courts open .
On Friday , two persons charged as rioters in the late tumultuous proceedings of the 12 th of August were apprehended by Joseph Dear den , the town beadle , and committed for trial by the magistrates at the Town Hall . Along with several others , for whose apprehension warrants have for some time been issued , they had kept out of the way until the restoration of tranquillity emboldened them to return into the town . One of these , Thomas Norm , was chsuged before Mr . J . Barstow , aa one of the leaders in the attack committed by a great crowd of persons at the mills of Messrs . Germain , Petty , and Co ., Leighton , where they conducted tkemselves with great violence and disorder , causing the mill to be itopp 9 d . The bands having left work , the crowd dispersed . The other
prisoner , ihemas Pedder , was charged with having , on the same day , attacked the factory of Meesn . Horrocks , in Can&l-strfcfct , &ud having led the mob up the stairs , where he behaved with a considerable degree of violence . Along with the other prisoner , be was sent to the House of Correction . The three unhappy individuals who were wounded by the fire of the soldiers still remain in the House of Correction , enduring considerable suffering . One of these , a steaai-loom weaver , twenty-one years of age , was shot through the cap of the knee , and bit leg was immediately amputated about nix inches above the knee ; another , Bryan Hatchings , 36 , & shoemaker , was wounded above the hip , the
bullet still remaining ia the body ; and the third , 21 , was shot through the w iat It will be some time before they can leave this benevolent institution ; but in consequence of their sufferings , the Recorder has kindly informed them , that although the two former have been recognised as amongst the most active leaders of the mob on the fatal occasion , their prosecution will not be proceeded with . In addition to Lancaster and Mercer , the individuals who died in this establishment , these were the only ones amongst the wounded who were taken there . The two other unhappy men died at their own homes , whither also many of the other wounded were conveyed ; but the Bame forbearance Is shown with them as with those at
present in the House of Recovery . The mayor and magistrates have wholly forbidden political or other meetings of a dangerous character , and it was intended a few days since to hold a meeting for the purpose of appointing a delegate to the National Suffrage Convention of Great Britain , emanating from Joseph-Sturge , to be held at Birmingham . Permission was given on condition that Mr . Bannister , the intelligent superintendent of police , and other officers , might be present , which was agreed to , but the meeting was afterwards adjourned sitte die on account of the meeting at Birmingham himng been postponed .
In connexion with the new military arrangement for the northern districts , Preston is to become the future depot of a large assemblage of troops . There have hitherto been no barracks in the town , and the troops now here , consisting of about one hundred and fifty Rifles , are quartered in temporary barracks in a factory in Water-street A site of twenty-five and a half acres on Fulwood-moor , the property of the Duchy of Lancaster , and in the centre of the former race course , has been secured by Government for the erection of cavalry and infantry barracks capable of containing 2 , 0 <> 0 troops . An active correspondence has lately been
carried on with the Board of Ordnance , and it is expected daily that estimates for the contracts for the works wiil be published . The spot has been selected by Captain Barrows , barrackmastcr at Blackburn , and Captain Rutherford , engineer to the Board of Ordnance at Manchester ; and many plans have been sent up to London for the approval of Government . The circumBtances which have dictated this choice over the plas proposed for enlarging the barracks at Blackburn in order ta make that the northern depot for UroopB , appears to be the facility of their transport by railroad to the sonth , and to Ireland and Scotland through the new port of Fleetwood .
The inhabitants of Preston and Blackburn have both taken up the matter very warmly , and in the latter town a site of land was offered gratuitously for the erection of barracks . The matter hat , however , finally been set at rest by Government having acknowledged the superior advantages of this town , and operations for their erection aro expected to take place immediately . This decision was sealed chiefly from the opinion of the Duke of Wellington .

The Complete Suffragists and Free Traders —In the Independent of last Saturday appeared a report of a meeting of the Free Trade Association , held the proceeding Monday evening . Mr . Allen , a member of the Complete Suffrage Association , said , " that . the supporters of that Association ( the Complete Suffrage ) were all Free Traders , and so fat from ieeling the least jealousy , or offering the least opposition to this association , they ( the Complete Suffragists ) hoped that the two bodies would be composed , to a large extent , of the same members , and that , as societies they would render each other mutual assistance . " Mr . Bcale , another and la leading member of tho Complete Suffrage Association , after giving it as his opinion that an immediate repeal of the corn laws was cot desirable , went on to say— " that to demand the
immediate repeal of the Corn Laws savoured of the dogmatism which had been shewn by the Chartists , when they required Parliament forthwith to pass the Cnarter entire and unaltered into law . " Of course Mr . Beale is no dogmatist , and therefore does not require Parliament to pass the " six points" of Complete Suffrage " entire" into law ! Mr . Conolly " referred to the opposition which the free trade movement had experienced from the Chartists , and congratulated the meeting in the belief that such opposition was now at an end ; but that it had ceased , not through the forbearance of the parties who he believed had been hired to betray and damage the popular cause . He believed that the wageB of corruption were no longer to bo had , and that the opposition which had thus been promoted would now cease" I The opposition ceased , eb ? " Try it on" !

SUNDERLAND . —In reading the address of Mr . Sturge , I cannot help but think there was some intended deep-rooted policy entered into for the overthrow of that position which the people now possess . It is a common saying in Lancashire , " Give a mm rope enocifih and he will soon hang himself . " I have been told tbnt we the "hot-headed followers" of Feargus are Feargus-ridden . Now , I will give youaptoof that I am notFeavgus-ridden . You know that Mr . O'Connor has often said that " Mr . Sturge was an honst man . " But after reading Mr . Storge ' a address of last week , I concluded that he ( Mr . Sturge ) was prepared to adopt any mode of procedure for the complete' overthrow of that power which the people in tneir wisdom var
atrength might possess themselves of . It is with all due respect to tbe opinion of O'Connor that I thus differ With him , and those who diffar with , me upon the ' complete' movement , all that I rcqnest at their hands ia to read for * themselves . I lectured here last night to a pretty good muster of working men , and w . is well received . Lectured twice at Wingate-grange colliery on Saturday . Lectured yesterday at South Shields . I am bow making my way into Scotland ; but before I go away , I hope tbe colliery districts hereabouts will reeeive my most sincere thanks for the kind reception they have given me , and in the bonds of true Chartism , I am , at their bidding , yours , truly , Peter Rigby , from Chorley .

A room bad been engaged at the Black Bull public house , but a temperance meeting' being held on the same evening , the Chartists did not wsh to create any bad feeliog by holding theirs in opposition to so good an object It
was therefore finally agreed that Mr . Bropby should lend a helping hand to tbe temperance cause on that evening , and lecture to bis Chartist friends on Monday tho 19 th . During this time the landlord of the Black Bull Inn , had been visited by the mayor , Henry Thompson , Esq ., and told in a very peremptory tone , that if he allowed the Chartists to meet in his house , his license would be certainly taken from him . The keener of the temperance coffee house where Mr . Bropby had got refreshraenta , was sent for by the worshipful mayor , and ordered not to harbour Mr . Brophy in future—an order that was fulfilled to the letter , for when Mr . ' Brophy came here on Monday , after a walk of twenty miles , he was handed his bundle , which he left there on the former oaoasion , and he was obliged to put up at a public house . In this dilemma it was
agreed to lecture out of doors on a piece of waste ground in the Padibam-roai , bnt the business of the metitin ? had scarcely begun when three of the police made their way up to the hustings ; one of them told Mr . Brophy he bad orders from the authorities to take him if be proceeded further . Mr . Brophy told him he must commit a breach of the peace before they had any power to take him . Here Thompson , the chief constalki . said the Queen ' s proclamation was issued to put down such meetings . Mr . Bropby denied the assertion and taid that the Queen's Proclamation meant only to put : o . ? n rioters and tumultuous assemblage ? , and as in Irishmen , he was not afraid of a woman mush less her name .

His discourse was upon the liberty of speech , which he instanced in * the treatment of himself , Leach , Cooper , and others , she—ing that liberty of speech , as he declared , was but a farce . At the conclusion , the hymn , " Men of England ye are slaves , " was sung . The part " Een the House of Commons craves Before the Crown on bended knee , "
appeared to be exeented with marked pathos . The hymn ended , and the congregation separated . Wednesday Evening / Seft . 14 th .- —A meeting of operative cabinet-makers , duly convened by circular , was held at the Democratic Chapel . Bear-lane . Temple * street , to take into consideration the state of their trade with a view to adopt m 9 asures to prevent further reduction ; the chair was taken shortly after eight o ' clock , when Mr . Jacobs entered into the subject , dilated upon the reduction that bad taken place siuce the acceptance of the Union Book in 1811 , contended that polities were materially connected with the subject ; hence their ex * elusion by law from our society meetings . That the
Government had not given that proteetton to the sandycraft trades that our forefathers were wont to receive ; and now so long as they succeeded in excluding politic from their discussions so long would they prevent them discovering the root of the evil . Mr J . concluded by reading some portions of a plan of a benefit society , recommending the establishment of a National Trade Benefit Society upon tbut or scmo like plan , and moved "Thatthe present meeting do forma trade benefit society upon that plan as a commencement " After some discussion it was resolved , that an adjourned meeting be convened to further consider the subject , and a committee waa appointed to carry into effect the resolution , when the meeting separated . —Correspondent

FURTHER DISTURBANCES IN MANCHESTER , AND MELANCHOLY LOSS OF ; LIFE . On Thursday afternoon , tbe 15 th inst , a party of turn-out weavers went to tbe mill of Mr . Morris , in the Oldfleld Road , where a number of knobsticks from other towns had commenced working . The object the turnouts had in view was to prevail upon the Btrangers , if possible , to leave the milL But having been seen by some of the overlookers , and other lickspittles , in their approach to the premises , a desperate attack was made upon the poor half-starved turn-outs , who , taken by suiprise , run in all directions , leaving to the tender mercies of tbe dastardly scoundrels , who were armed with picking sticks , an inoffensive young man , of the name of Lyons , whom tbey beat about the bead , till he fell down insensible ; and there is not tke least doubt
but he would have been killed on the spot , had not the parties who accompanied him again rallied , and driven the assailants back into the mill . Lyons was then removed in a state of insensibility to the Infirmary , where he died on Friday morning , about ten o ' clock , having never uttered one word . As soon as it became known that Lyons was dead , a deep feeling of sympathy was manifested all over the town , and curses , long , loud , and deep , were uttered against the horrible system that engenders such melancholy results . Tbe weaver's committee , upon learning the mournf nl intelligence , deputed some of their body to wait upon tbe Ch irtists and Teetotallers , the deceased being a member of both these Associations , in order to apprise them of tbe fact , and rtquesting their assistance .
A coroner's inqnest was held on view of the body , on Saturday evening last I am informed they could net agree npon their verdict , and in consequence an adjournment took place until Wednesday , the 21 st instant . The Ceroner however gavo his warrant for the interment of the body , which was removed from the infirmary on Sunday afternoon , to his lodgings in London Road . Information having been given to the authorities that the weavers had determined t * attend the funeral of their deceased friend , and walk in procession to the grave , the mayor , Mr . Nield , iiBued a placard , of which the following is a copy : — " Cactio . n . —All persons are requested not to join any procession , or assemble in the streets or rouda for any purpose whatever , snch practices , under present circumstances , being illegal , and will not be allowed . "Wm . Neild , Mayor . " Town Hall , Sept . 19 tb , 1842 .-
FUBTHBB PABT 1 CULABS . FcKeral of Ltons . — On MoDday afternoon abont one o ' clock , large numbers of people were seen wending their way to tbe bouse where the body of the deceased lay : these were attacked by the police , whe after cruelly beating some and apprehending others , succeeded in dispersing them from the front of London-road . A party of well dressed and respectable females , in number about 200 , headed by a good looking old man , then made their appearance , but were not allowed to
approach nearer than Piccadilly before they were dispersed by the police , and tbe old man taken into custody ; this circusnstance enraged the people that they divided into different groups and attacktd several mills , breaking . a great number of windows , and compelling tbe people employed therein to leave w-jrk . Mr . Bewick then took possession of tbe house wfeerein lay the remains of tbe murdered man , and took upon bimBelf tbe power of dictating who should or who should not followtbe deceased , limiting the number to twenty-four individuals .
By this time the butial ground belonging to the Reverend J . Scbolefield was densely crowded , with personsanxkusiy awaiting the arrival of the mournful cavalcade . After some delay , owing to tbe obstructions by the police , who had taken up their poeition in great numbers opposite Mr . Scholefield's premises , the body was carried into the church npon the shoulders of four men , ( the amiable Mr . Btswick having issued an order that tbtre should be only eight carriers allowed . ) preceeded by Sir . Scholefield , pronouncing , with gTeat emphasis , the solemn words of Christ , " I am the resurrection , Jkc , " the vast multitude maintaining the most solemn silence . Afte 4 that part of the ceremony had been go ; e through , which is usual in the church . The Rsv . Gentleman lef : tbe pulpit and preceded the body to the grave , repeating " The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away , " < 3 tc The body was
then deposited in its last resting place , amidst tbe sighs and tears of those who loved him , and Mr . Scholefield having mounted tbe base of Hunt ' s Monument , gave out a hymn , in singing which the assembly joined . Daring the singing of ibe hymn , several cf the blues came into the yard , for what purpose is best known to themselves and their base employers . Mr . Scho efitld then delivered a short address , in which be told the people that he felt proud at the orderly manner in which they had conducted themselves whilst paying the last tribute of respect to their martyred friend , a :: d concluded by advising them to return to their homes peaceably , and thus give ne pretext to their enemies to have recourse to violent measures The Bcv . Gentleman thgn went to the blues , who still remained , and asked them what might be their business upon his premises ? One of them made answer it was fer the purpose of protecting bis property .
Mr . ScholefUld then bid them leave the yard instantly , assuring them that the people would not injure him in any way , and consequently he needed none of their protection at that time . None of the people upon leaving the ground , were allowed to go along Every-street , but were compelled to go in a direction which was pointed out to them by the police , no matter at what personal inconvenience , or however tax it might be oat of their way . Nothing can exceed the disgust entertained at the conduct of the authorities throughout the whole of the proceedings of Monday ; the msyor and magistrates , in their eagerness to prevent a manifestation of sympathy for an inoffensive man , who had been basely murdered , of
collected the who ^ e police together , and kept tttm like a swarm of vultures around a dead body , while within a few hundred yards from the spot , property to a considerable amount is destroyed ,-ilr . Thompson ' s factory in Mill-fctreet , is attacked ; the knobsticks driven from work ; some of them , according to report , severely injured ; and the * e "just-asses " and their myrmidons skulking in a street perfectly peaceable , for no other purpose that we could discover , but that of rendering more poignant the sorrow which must have been bo keenly felt by the relatives of the unfortunate martyr of might against right Ought not these wiseacres to be held responsible for tbe breach of the peace and destruction of property ?
