      BURY . T :. e - . ' . ira-outs are relieved with five pounds of potatoes ? icn diily . There is an expectation of an agree ra-. ut being come to this week betwixt the working people and the employers .

      MANCHESTER Monday . Tb- weavers are still out ; it was expected that manv " ;> f them ^ culd r eeun \ 8 v » ork this morning ; but Viir mafters opened their mills in vain . The belis rmg , but no one answered . The femal « s formed m pTocession , from feur to five hundred in number , and paraded Great , Aucoats-street , Stonestreet , and that neighbourhood . TheyVero met in Ston--s-rcet by a body of tho police force ; but they did I- ' . ; interfere with them , but let them proceed

      quie : ! v on their route . Th : " y held a meeting in the Large Room , in Brown-Btree :. at eight o ' ciook , which was numerously attended—hundreds having to go away that could not get admittance . The prevailing opinion amongst them was , that they had siood a month withont support , and therefore , if they got a small amount of assistance they ccnld stand for a longer period . TOESDAT . The hands of one or two mills which had gone in at the advance , again turned out this morningthe employers haying broken faith'with them . PiacxrrfE have been issued , advertising for weavers . A small number obtained employment in one of the mill * "n question , bat the feeling was so strong against them , ih&t it was thought necessary U > gnard them V « y a sferong escort of ponce , both while walking to and from meals .

      As the knobsticks working in the Mill-street mill left work this evening , they were met by a large number of the turn-outs , who commenced hooting them , when a general fight took place , the knobs getting the worst of the battle . One man , who had two daughters working in the mill , came armed with a largs cudgel to protect them , which he used to the utmost of bis ability , bat was taken for his kindness by the police to the station , and looked op for the ni ? ht . We understand that they hare all stopped from work this day ( . Wednesday ) , with the exception of two ; the mill is , however , going . During the night the windows of a house in Speneer-street were broken in oieces . bv some parties unknowB . It is

      supposed that it is the work of the turn-outs , as one of the knobsticks called there on her way home , and it is thought that some one had watched her , and thought that that was her residence , whioh is not the case . Wednesday . This morning the knob sticks who were at work at Waterhonse ' s mUl , have all come oat , and declared that they will not commence again until they get tho advance agreed upon by the delegates . At shortly after eight o ' clock this morniog , a large number of the turn-outs went to Stone-street

      mill , where there are some knobs at work ; there were a few of the police on duty , but they considered it to be the wisest plan to save their bacon by a retreat , and therefore left the turn-outs in possession of the Held ; but there was no damage done to the mill . They contented themselves by hooting and shouting knobsticks . " In a short time the police returned with a reinforcement , amounting to from 200 to 300 , headed by Sawley and Beswick . The peopie , when they saw them coming , dispersed in a orderly manner , so that when they arrived at the miil there was nothing for them to do .

      There has been a strong body of police and specials guarding the mill ever since . I ; ' we are to judge from appesracoes , the weavers are more determined than they were tho first day of the ojrike . They have adopted the plan of testing the rev . gentlemen of the town , who have professed sympathy for the poor , by requesting them to preach sermons , and make collections in their behalf . They do not expect that they will gr&nt their request ; but this is a test for the gents , of the cloth . The power-loom weavers belonging to the Stonestreet Mill , got the advance at noon to-day , and commeuced working , and it is confidently expected that many of the masters will give the advance this week . It is rumoured that the Chief Magistrate has scut word to the manufacturers , either to give the advance , or shut up their mills altogether ; for as long as they allow things to continue in the present state , the town is m danger .

      ASHTON-I ^ DER-LYNE . BBUTAL AND COWARDLY ATTACK ON THE PEOPLE BY AN INFURIATED & DRUNKEN SOLDIE R Y . This town has bsen the scene of the moBt brutal and dasiardly assaults on an unefftnding and defencelesF people that is on record since the never-tobe forgotteu Peterloo , by a soldiery , that it is evident were made drunk lor the purpose . The particulars are a 3 follows : — News was brought into town , on Thursday last , that it was the intention of the Poynton colliers to come and hold a meeting iu this town on that day ; nofcooner did the authorities get to know this , than it threw them into the greatest alarm , thinking , no doubt , that they were coming to chastise them for

      their tyrannical conduct to the people ou former occasions . Bat , poor things , they Deed noS have alarmed themselves , for ihvy had no such intention . They only ntant to meet their fello » v-work . ; . en of this town , and to discuss their grievances . After doing which , if they had been allowed , they would have gone peaceably home . But no ; our wiseacre magistrates were determined that they should not come iuto vhe town ; and therefore determined to go and meet them , and drive them back at the point of the sabre , and for this purpose two troops of the first dragoon guarde , which are laying here were immediately sent on the road to meet them , Mr . James Lord , magistrate ,

      accompanying them . The foot soldiers , alss amounting to three or four companies , with about five or six hundrgd special constables , were sent on another road ; and now they thought they were a match for this formidable body of working men , amounting to nearly two hundred men , and about a score of them armed with walking sticks ! But , alas J they were disappointed , for the colliers came another road , by the canal side ; and therefore these sage gentlemen were obliged to come back as they went ; without without shedding one drop of blood , and with a good drenching in the rain ; while the colliers , of whom they had been in search , were comfortably seated in the Chartist Room , which had been kindly granted them .

      The auChoritiea were so exasperated at being foiled that they determined to be revengpd , and resolved to make an attack on the Chartist room ; and for this purpose they assembled all their forces , via ., the dragoons , infantry , and four or five hundred special constables , each party taking different roads , and as is generally the case , each party followed by a large crowd of women and children . No sooner did they get in front of the building , which is an old factory , than the specials , headed By Mr . Owen , late deputy constable , entered it , and at this moment Mr . Lord commeuced reading the riot act , although there was not the least signs of any breach of the peace , aud before he had hardly done , the dragoons , without the least notice commenced f&breing and riding ever the people who had followed them , and the majority of whom wete women and children .

      Aud now a scene took place that baffles description . The people were cut and rode over in the most wanton manner , and many have received most serious injuries wich they never will get over ; indted so blood-thirsty were the rascals that they cut at people who were standing at their own doors . One woman , who had just come from Manchester had gi . t inside her door , when a cowardly monster made a blow at her ; his sword stuck in the door , or she must have been killed . One of the Dragoons saw a man go into a house for refuge : he rode « p to it and threatened to fire into the house if they did not turn him out . I could enumerate numbers of instances of the brutality of these butchers , but it would be taking up too much of your space ; 8 ufSc «

      it to say , that a more cold-blooded , cowardly , and murderous transaction is not on record . But now for the specials ! As soon as they got in the room , they found about eighty of the colliers ( the ' rest having gone to another part of the town ) restiDg themselves , and getting something to eat , which they had brought with them . They were instantly surrounded and mado prisoners without the least resistance' They were examined , and nothing could be brought against them : but still they must be punished ; and , therefore , were remanded until Friday , when they were all discharged but fifteen ; and they were put back until Monday , in order that they might get up some charge against them , whieh I believe they fuiled in .

      It appears that the authorities are enraged at the p eople being determined to keep the peace , for they nave had recourse to all plans to aggravaie them to revtogo . So disgusted were two of the specials at the above conduct , that they threw down their truncheons aud swore they would not be a party to such cowardly conduct . All is still at a stand here : not one mill going , or any likelihood of starling . The people say they will die in the streets sooner than starve in tne factories . Where it will end God only knows . The ChartistB aTe still being apprehended ; and it is only necessary to be a Chartist , and you are apprehended and committed to take your tnal tor being one .

      One of the men that were wounded at Shepley ' s mill the other day was takeu out of the Infirmary at Manchester last Sunday night , and conveyed to the New Bailey . This ib justice ! I wonder if Mr , Shepley is in tho Bailey : he is the only party that ou ^ ht to be there . If a working mau had done what he did he would be tried for murder . —Correspondent .

The following Is a copy of the piscards that were struck off , when a strong-armed force of police and special constables lay iu ambush , ( through being informed by a spy , one who pretended to be one of our friends , ) waiting on the parties coming out of the printing-office , which was rather late at night , partly owing to the meeting being held so late , together with the printer being otherwise engaged , so that it was after ten at night before he went te press .

      The Placard . —At a meeting held in the Musichall , Blackburn , August 24 th , 1842 , for the purpose of bringing the present Btrifce to a speedy and profitable dose , the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to : —1 . That this meeting is of opinion that the unequalled amount of distress that prevails in this nation , calls for the sympathies of every philanthropist and lover of his country . 2 . That this meeting is of opinion that the cause of the present distress is in Congtquenca of bad laws having a tendency of cramping the energies aud enterprise of the British , and thereby

      diminishing tbe value of our labour , and destroying the home trade . 3 . That this meeting is of opinion , that we can never experience happiness and prosperity in this country until tbe people have a voice in making those laws by which their lives and property are to be regulated . At the dose of the meeting it was proposed that all hands ( meaning those who bad struck work ) return to work on Thursday morning , ( that was the next day , ) which was lost by every hand being held up against it . —W . and R . Holt , printers , Penny-street , Blackbnrn .

      The parties who were arrested are Robett Holt , printer , Jonathan Gibson , Secretary to the Chartist Association , and George Wilson , a power-loom weaver . After their arrest ( which was about two o ' clock on Thursday morning ) the police were dispatched te Jonathan Gibson ' s , to search and ransack his house foe the purpose of finding some communications belonging the Chartists , it having been rumoured that an armed force was expected in the town at night . However they wers disappointed , for they found nothing but a few private letters of bis own , a small memorandum book belonging to the Chartists , ( of no value , ) a teetotal card , and a medal of Feargus O Connor . Tirar were brought before the magistrates on Thursday , and put back foi further examination , and removed to Preston House of Correction , from whence they were brtught back en Wednesday . After a week ' s confinement they ware

      brought up again , when no charge could be brought to bear against them . Wilson , the young ntnn , was discharged , and the other bound over to keep the peace and discharged , on condition to appear again when called upon . During their confinement Gibson was repeatedly asked to stand up and walk across the room to txbibit himself ( he was then laid down to rest ) to tbe several gents and special constables who were regularly coming in to look what kind of an animal this Chartist Secretary was ; but be peremptorily refused to comply with their request On their discharge Gibson got all his papers and other articles returned to him again , except tbe medal , which they hold ; and tbe superintenrtaiit of police says the magistrates ordered him not to give it up . The magistrates cautioned Bbveral persons eonnected with Gibson to be aware ef him , as he was a Chartist

      The Ucenso of Mr . James Briggs , of the Fleece Inn , in Panny-street , has been suspended , for suffering Feargus O'Connor to stay at his house , when in Blackburn , at our demonstratien . I wonder whether the magistrates of Preston will suspend the license of the Ball Hotel , because Feargas O'Connor put * up there ? ( The Chartists of Blackburn hare narrowly escaped being drawn into a snare by a spy , who pretended being one of oar friends . He is a townsman , and has ever spouted Chartism . He was luckily discovered , and his plot too : had it not been , he would have got a great number either killed or transported . You shall have the particulars hereafter . —Correspondent .

      Mb . Owen and the Press . —We are requested by tbe Central Board of the Rational Society , to give our unqualified contradiction to a xtatement which is now " going the round , " to the effect , that the experiment at Tytherly has failed , and is given up , and that Mr . Owen has absconded . The whole is a pure fabrication . Fatheb Mathbw . —On Monday , the 29 th ult ., Bishop Murdoch received a letter from Father Mathew , containing an orderfor £ 10 , with directions to give £ 5 to the parents of the young man accidentally killed in Graham ' s-fquaro while he was administeaing the pledge there ; and to divide the other £ 5 equally between the two boys hurt on the same occasion . —Glasgow Argus .

      Alarmitjg Thunder Storm , in London . —At about seven o ' clock on Wednesday evening , a few faint flashes of lightning , with a heavily clouded sky , gave earnest of a storm , whioh gradually reared , and ultimately became very violent . The lightning was awfully vivid , and of a dazzling blue colour , flash succeeding flash in terrible rapidity , while the thunder was prolonged , and of a deep tone , suggesting the idea of having resulted from the concentration of matter which could not explode itself . At abont half-past seven there was a heavy 6 howor , which began with a few large drops , and after a succession of lightuisg flashes , poured down in torrents . The storm soon attained its height , and nothing more splendid as a speotacle can be imagined . The Iigtituing was almost incessant , and when the thunder was rolling , there seemed to be a rumbling in tbe earth . Viewed by tho Bide of the river , the scene was magnificent

      in the extreme , the whole atmosphere playing in blue fire , which waa reflected ou the water . We have this morning witnessed a few of the results of the storm . It appears that the fluid entered a house situate in Shepparton-street , Islington , through the chimney , whence it passed in an oblique direction towards the door of the front kitchen , bursting it open ; after doing which it wound its way to a cellar , the door of whioh it also shattered , ripping off the fastenings and other iron work . A man who was crossing the bridge close to Canonbury House was knocked down but , farther than the shock and the fright consequent thereon , received no injtiry . A little before nine , a horse , whioh was drawing a cart along the Holloway Road , became unmanageable ; breaking i ' rem the shafts and throwing the rider . At about a quarter past nine the storm abated , and by ( half-past ten was at an end ; though the atmosphere continued very hot , and the sky was still clouded . —Evening Star .

      Murder at Quadrtkg , near Sfaldiso , Lincolnshire . —On Friday morning last the inhabitants of this village were thrown into a state of alarm by the report that Miss Mary Spencer was murdered . The particulars are as follow : —Mary Spencer kept a day-school iu Quadring , and resided in a small cottage loft by her father , consisting of two rooms on the ground floor , the smaller room being her sleeping-room , and the other one the school-room . Three children went as usual on Friday morning at nine o ' clock to the deceased ' s house , and on opening the door saw her lying across a form in the school-room , dressed only in her night-olofchos , and a quantity of blood upon the floor ; they immediately ran away in terror , and told a neighbour what they had seen .

      The person on going to the spot saw Mary Spencer lying across a form as described . On Mr . Morris , surgeon , of Gosberton , being called in , he found a wound from the right ear , under the throat to the chest , about nine inches in length , and dividing the carotid artery , and pronounced that she must , have bled to death . On examining ihe house , it appeared that a back wmdow adjoiniug the bed had been broken open , and that the murderer had made an entrance . It is supposed that the deceased , in attempting to escape , got near to the street door , but was pulled back by the monster , and stabbed as described . It is supposed that he was alarmed , and then made off . A man named Wm . Howett , a labourer , was apprehended on Friday uight on suspicion , under the following singular circumstances .

      On the day of the discovery Mr . Loughland , a land surveyor , whilst measuring some land , met a neighbour , and talking about this tragical event , a labourer ( the father of . Howett ) , ' wtio was sitting by taking some refreshment and listening to the conversation , exclaimed , ' ¦ I wonder what Bill's been up to , he was out all night , and came hone all over blood . " Mr . Loughland immediately informed a constable at Dominion , who took Howett into custody . The inquest was held at the Red Cow Inn , at Quadring , on Saturday , and was adjourned till Thursday . No doubt is entertained as to the guilt of the prisoner . We hear that a clasp-knife was jund upon him with blood upon it ; he is deaf and dumb , though quite sane , and is about 26 year ? of age , and much respected .

      Resolved— " That this Committee return their sincere thanks to the Editors of the Northern Star and British Statesman for their able aud long continued services in the cause of the people . But the Committee are of opinion that now , wh » n the sufferings of the people are so intense , and tyranny rides rampant over the land , setting tho laws at defiance and trampling on the Constitution , that we need all the talent , virtue and power we possess in

      our ranks , to resist tyranny and relieve the suffering . Therefore without pretending to decide on the right or wrong of either of the above gentlemen , we implore them in the name of Democracy and a suffering people , that whatever cause of ill-teeling or quarrel they may have with each other , that tnoy would sacrifice these feelings for the good of the cause , and no longer directly or indirectly allow them to appear in their columns , which are at present alienating our friends , and consequently , strengthening our enemies ; but to give us the wholo power of the press under their ooncroul , to aid that holy public cause whioh their papers were established to support . Signed in name of the committee , Thomas Blackie , Secretary .

      [ We thank our Edinburgh friends for their good opinion . We trust that they have never yet found us wanting in our duty to the people and their cause . We trust they never will do bo . But we should be grievously wanting in it , did we hesitate to tear the mask from off the visage of a traitor when we see him deliberately striving to destroy our movement , and to hand over the people neck and crop to the flesh merchants ; living upon the people , while he omits no opportunity of playing intotheenomy ' s hands . We have long known him to be , as a man , unworthy of respaet or esteem ; but we did not permit that knowledge to prevent us from

      according him our warmest support so long as we thought him honest in the people ' s cause . Our Edinburgh friends speak of our " long continued services "—they have therefore been readers of the Star for somt length of time ; and mmt know that we have laboured incessantly to enhance the interests , and uphold the popularity of that man . We did so because , though we knew him in other ro 3 pects wo thought him honest as a politician . We believed him to be "devoted to the people ' s cause . " We were slack and slow in admitting the conviction whioh we now hold , that he is one whose patriotism vanishes immediately that it comes in contact with the bad

      propensities of his own nature . Once satisfied of this , it became our duly to the people to unmask him . We have done , so ; they now see him as he is ; and they will take their own course with him ! We have done with him . Our friends will see from an observation elsewhere , that we do not purpose to occupy further time or space with him- We have now only to request that no person will hereafter send to this office any communications having any reference to him or his paper ; as we shall not print them . Let as many as choose to read his paper do so ; let him say what he likes in it ; only let us sot be further annoyed with or about it . —Ed . N . 5 . 1

      WEST BROMWICH . Wednesday Evening . This morning a meeting of iron and coal-masters , called by Mr . Salter , was held at the Dartmouth Arms , to meet a deputation of men from the various pits , with a view to an amicable settlement of the difference between the masters and men . Amongst those present were Mr . Eaton , Mr . J . Nook , Mr . T . Whitehouse , Mr . Hood , and Mr . Fisher , coal and iron-masters ; agents were also presont from the works of Messrs . Spittle and Heines , Messrs . Guest , Wood , and Salter . Several gentlemen anxious to effect a settlement were also present , i fcaui

      • » jMM »» « u now xjc . jjoom , w . unanoe , Esq ., Mr . Burgess , Commissioner of the Birmingham pohoe , J . Meredith , Esq ., Captain Baldwin , and otners . WuI ' Ciiawb , Esq ., a magistrate and manufacturer or Birmingham , felt bound to say he considered the present strike one of more than ordinary importance , the effects of which were daily being felt throughout the country . The question was one which had assumed a national importance , and ui whieh every man mi g ht be said to be in terested . He had in bis facftiy six hundred men one hundred women and , boys , to whom not less £ 760 a week was paid in wages . There were not less than two thousand , five hundred individuals depending upon the above amount of wages ,

      and he certainly felt that he had ft deep interest in their welfare and whatever aff . 'otfld them . He had been three weeks ago within a very Bhort time of stopping all his works , owing to the want of coal . He had been obliged to get coal from Derby , and every other place he could , at a very considerable loss and inconvenience . He did not complain of that loss , but he looked at the present strike as one deeply affecting the interests of the country generally . They had not much coal in Birmingham , and the scarcity must be felt in other places . He and Dr . Booth had received s deputation from the colliers , consisting of abont thirty men , and he must say he never met a body of men with better feelings towards their masters , or men who , if they told the truth , had stronger grounds of complaint against persons who had the employment of them . .

      Dr . Booth next addressed the meeting in explanation of the motives which induced him to come forward on that occasion . He and the magistrates of Birmingham , in common with those throughout the county , had had a good deal of anxiety in preserving the peace , and now that tranquility was perfectly restored , they were most anxious to retain it , and they felt that nothing would more effectually tend to restore complete order , than the restoration of the colliers to the pits . He felt bound to corroborate Mr . Chance in tho character he had given of the colliers . He had met the deputation of miners with a very unfavourable impression respecting them ; but he was really bound to say he had been most agreeably surprised at their conduct . He bad never met a better behaved body of working men in his life , and he should never feel any difficulty in meeting one thousand of them .

      Mr . Salter said he had every reason to believe that all the masters in that part of the couu'y would remove the abuses of whioh the men had reason to complain . He thought they might , now safely close that inquiry . Some men said they were afraid to complain , beoause they would be discharged . Several agents said the men might rely upon it the masters would not refuse to listen to any proper complaint , nor would they allow any man to be put away by tho butties for complaining . ¦ .... Dr . Booth then addressed the men , and advised them to go at once to their masters and avail themselves of the present favourable feeling . They had no right to doubt the sincerity of the masters , who had expressed their determination not to allow any more oppression upon their men .

      Lord Dartmouth said he hoped things would now take a favourable turn , and that they would soon be all at work . During the course of the meeting it was stated that nearly ail the pits had been set on to work during the last two days at the old prices—the proposed reduction having been abandoned by some masters . The othor proportion , it is hoped , will soon follow . It is , therefore , to be hoped that the whole di-trict will immediately resume labour , so far as consumption will allow , and that the admitted ovils of which the men have to complain may never be repeated , nor the pcaco of sooiety threatened by such a mass of discontent being thrown upon it . —Sum .

      to take notes . Mr . Crossloy , magistrate , blustered very much , he said I had given him a great deal of trouble with writing to the Nortliern Star , but he had got hold of me now , and he would pay me off for all . I simply told him that I had nothing to thank him for . He refused to take the bail that was offered , for being Chartists . He said he would not take a Chartist for a bondsman ; the two bondsmen are county voters , one a freeholder and the other a leaseholder ; but Mr . - —— a Government officer , prevailed upon him to take the bail offered . Yours , &o . R . Brook .

      State of Trade—There waa not bo much animation in the market on Tuesday , as on the two preceding weeks . The immediate wants whioh brought buyers to market at those times , having been now general ? supplied , few parties seem disposed to buy at tht present rates , and the demand both for goodi and yarn is very limited ; and , in some cases , rather lower prices have been accepted . This is particularly the case with respect to 40-inch shirtiaft suitable for the India market—the overland mtil

      having . brought unfavourable accounts of the sties of that description of cloth . Very light goods , suitable for that market , are , however , in good demand , at improving prices . In yarn there is no change of prices , excepting in seme descriptions of water * twist , which are quoted from id . to id . lower tH " last week . On the whole , the market was decidedly heavy , and very little calculated to induce the spin * nera and manufacturers to give th « advanced wipi demanded by their workpeople . —Manchttter Gwr dian of Wednesday .
