After thanfe had been given to the Chairman , and three deafening cheers given for the People ' s Charter , flie people of Staley Bridge , Ashton . and Hyde again fanned in procession , and took the road home in a peaceable , and orderly manner . After the tarn-oats had Jefi the town , great numbers of : the worries in . the Machester mills collected ' together , and repaired to the factories of Messrs . Kennedy , Gray , Williams , Clark , H&rbottle , Guest , Barton , Thompson

      Lees , Hayles . printworks , and Preston's spindiesbop , at Pro-mill-Brow ; and here we are sorry to say great damage has been done . The framework of the windows has been eompletelj demolished , and several of the m « "n severely beaten for going to work again at one o ' clock . At Mr . Jlellon's timber yard , where the foreman , a Mr . Turnbull , refused to let the men oat , he was set upon and left in a very dangerous state , . The sawing machine was completely destroyed . ~ Mr .

Some carts , laden with coals , happening to pas 3 at this moment , were instantly thrown upland the windows were almost as instantly demolished The managers of the mill then ascended far the roof , and threw down upon the jsnltifcnde in the streets , heavy pieces of Stone , iron t sad other missies . One of taese falling upon the had of a young girl , dashed her brains onton the

      spot . The poKce are all out , armed ; and the military are posting from one part of the town to another , endeavouring to disperse the people-What the end of thi 3 state of things will be God only knows .

      molished . I also went to see the premises of Mr . Becton , in Lower Mosley-street , and here similar devastation , was to be seen . The factory windows , with the windows of the dwelling-house of Mr . Becton , and those of two other adjoining honses occupied by his managers , are all smashed . The town . is is a state of great excitement . The military and the police are moved from one part of the town to another , in order to disperse the people , but without effect ; for as soon as they have accomplished it in one part , their presence is required in another . -

      John Edward Taylor , of the l ^ fanchester Guardian states that the depredations committed are attributable to the Chartists . This is as black a falsehood as could be uttered . I am bold to say that there was not a leading Chartist in the mob ; and although some of the Chartists have taken part in the meetings , it has been for the express purpose of advising the people to be peaceable , nnder tho oonviction that the AmirCorn Law party are at the bottom of the whole concern .

      m ABDrcnos Case . —At the Liverpool Assizes on Tnesday , John Orr M'Gill , Richard Jones , Jane Clayton , John Osburn Quick , and Tboma 9 Wormand Rogerson , were indicted for carrying off Miss Crellin , from Liverpool to Gretna , and there by administering . stupefying drink , forcing her into a marriage with M'Giil . Mr . Baines conducted the

      prosecution . He said the prosecutrix was an elderly woman , of weak mind , having property to the amount of £ 4 , 000 . Several counsel appeared for the defendants . After a long investigation , the Lord Chief Justice summed up . His Lordship gaid that the Learned Counsel had laid the evidence before the jury as if in case Miss Crellin bad made herself drunk , and if after that the prisoners bad carried her away , they were not guilty . He , (• . he Lord Chief Justice , ) however , was of opinion that though the individual had intoxicated herself , if any one toek advantage of that state to take her away and marry her against her consent , and did carry her away , though ever so little distance , with

      that intention , against her will , such party was guilty of the offence charged . The Jury retired , and re-entsred the Court at a quarter-past nine . They pronounced John Orr M'Gill , Richard Jones , John Osborn Quick , and Jane Clayton , guilty . Margaret Jones and Thomas Wormand Rogerson were acquitted . The Foreman of the Jury addressed the Cosn as follows : — "My Lord—The Jury wish to express an opinion in addition z the Jury beg to express the . opinion that Mess Crellin is also herself highly enlpable in the business . " The prisoners were , by ordey of his Lordship , removed from the bar , and the court adjourned at twenty minutes past nine o'clock ..

      G 1 ASGOW . —Mile > "i > . —A pnblic out-door meeting -was held here last Friday evening , to consider the present distressed state of the country , Mr . Hugh Hamilton in the chair ; after stating the object of the meetirjg the Chairman introdced Mr . J . Moir , who addressed the meeting at considerable length , He dwelt particularly on the duty the paople owe to themselve 3 , and urged upon them the necessity of eoming forward ia their united capacity , by which they conld accomplish anything , ai ) d demand their natural rights , without which they never would eDJoy comfort or happiness . At the close of the meeting Mr . Moir took a show of handsibr the Charter , when the whole meeting held np their hands . At the close of the meeting forty new members joined the association .

      Collikbs * Strike . —A general meeting of the united colliers round Glasgow , Airdrie , &c , was held on Tuesday last , near Shuttleston , to hear reports from the various pits , when it was all but unanimously agreed that they should continue the strike at all hazards . The wages demanded by the men is four sbaiiags per day and eight hoars' work . At present many of us do not earn two shillings , in some pit ? not more than one shilling and threepence . We have heard much of colliers , as a set of wild , savage mea ; we have seen many meetings , and we have no hesitation in saying that a more orderly meeting , than that of the colliers held at ShuttlestOD , on Tuesday last , we never saw , bo Bcrupulous were they against ueiog anything like coercion

      m getting any of the pits to strike , that they would not even ask them to come out , but merely appeal to them whether they thought it their duty to work till their grievances were redressed . In reference to the violent character given those much-injured men , we have much pleasure in giving the following resolution , which is inserted in their minute-bookB in their respective districts : —Moved by Mr . John Hnnter , and unanimously agreed to , " That we , the coal and iron miners of the higher , middle , and lower , or Glasgow districts , resolve that no man or boy coming to or going from any of our meetings , shall carry bludgeons or weapons of any kind whereby the peaceable inhabitants may be annoyed or intimidated ; and that in going to or eoming from any meeting make it a pointed feature in their actions to molest nothing i that they break over no fences , nor destroy hedges , trees , gardens , vegetables , or train , nor in

      any shape disturb the pnblic peace . These are the mea . to guard against , whose violence Sheriff Allison thought it proper to send to Airdrie troops of both infantry and cavalry , and many scores ot police . We noticed the proceedings of the meeting at Shuttleston carefully ; and , from the tone ot some of the men , we have do hesitation i n saying that the coal masters encourage this strike ; nay , we have it on most respectable authority , that the masters will support the men with money to enable them to stand out , and why \ Many of the masters have large stocks on hand , and in the event of the men standing out the masters will be enabled to clear off their old stocks at an advance of some shillings per ton ; this explains the sending of money to the men ; wnen the stockB are nearly cleared off , lot the men look ont ; then will the masters hound on the law , but not till then . The men are ready to meet the masters , the masters won't meet the men .

      THE NIGHT BEFORE THE NOTTINGHAM ELECTION . ( From our own Correspondent . J There is certainly no parallel In electioneering records to the recent Nottingham struggle , neither ia there in the -whole history of party politics a Single SCenB at all comparable to that which the night before the election alluded to furnished . The struggle ia over , aa fax as exhibitions of mind and body go , and Mr . Walter , like the rest horse of the team , is once more in the shafts as " occasional Member" for Nottingham . His glory , bowever , wm be of snort duration , as each succeeding day—nay , hour , brings te light some fresh enormity illustrative of the fact th » t Nottingham was to be bought , no matter the price ; cheap if we can , dear if we must . But to our sketch .

      After the nomination a great meeting assembled in the Market Place , at which the Slues were expected is increased force ; nor were the . victorious Chartists unprepared . Nothing unusual or worthy » f particular remark occurred at the meeting , and therefore we dissolve it , and commence with the peramfeulatory choir . At eight o ' clock or thereabouts , an immense procession of about ten deep was formed . O'Connor , JfDouall , Cooper , Jones , West , Sweet and Clarie , leading tho ir&y— Cooper with bis stunning tenor leading the musicians , in this order they traversed the whole town , and npon reaching the Button Road were joined by a procession of about 2 G 0 brave Suttoners , -who upon learning that O'Connor bad been seriously injured , marched fourteen miles at a few

      minutes notice to satisfy their own minds . The meeting of the waters was bat a placid ripple compared with the meeting of these two tides of opinion . The cheers were deafening ; when they bad subaidad ^ ne Suttoners took the head of the procession , and then , innoculated with fresh vigour , again the town was traversed till ten o ' clock , when the Sutton men were billefcted in the Chartist chapel , their wants , physical and intellectual , were attended to , the brave Sweet discharging the offise of caterer for t&e body , while li'Douall regaled the mind with one of those pleasing andin&truc tive effusions , which find ready access to the heart , through the delighted ear . At eleven o ' clock O'Connor visited the Satton battalion , and was received with such cheers , as the chapel was stranger to . After this the leaders repaired to the guard room , which should be here described . The suite of rooms furnished by that veteran patriot , Mr . Samuel Bean , five in namber , were all for the night at tbe disposal of the night

      watch , and each was occupied by the most zsaloua of the Chartist body . The two largest were assigned to the relief guard , and the floors furnished a welcome bed for the exhausted occupants . The staff had not been more than half an hour in quarters when the music of the Blue band struck upon their ears , and instantly it was proposed to muster the Chartist band ; but , unfortunately , the musicians had It ft town . In this dilemma Mr . O Connor inquired whether It was possible to procure some drummers and flfera , but it was hopeless . He then asked if French horns could be procured ? " No , be J&sus ! " replied a fine stout Irishman ; " but I'll tell you what ; we have the best piper in Ireland , and the boys in the lane would rather bear it nor all the music under the sun / ' and off Pat Malone ( for so in ignorance of our friend ' s name we shall call him ) Jumped for the piper ; and in his absence we take the liberty of narrating an anecdote of tho immortal Patrick .

      After the nomination three gentlemen in the interest of Mr . Waiter did Patrick the honour of waiting upon him- Pat , however , was absent , and Mrs . Malone presented herself upon her husband ' s behalf , and upon being questioned as to Pat ' s vote , she said she knew nothing about it , that her man would be in presently ; the presently arrived , and with it the canvassers , who then accosted Malone , " Well Mr . Malone , we are come to solicit your vote and interest" Mr . Malone , " Wisha then , its a cowld job , for I have neither vote nor interest . " ' Well , but , Mr . Malone , if we procure your vote for you , will you give it to Mr . Walter ?" •"* My vote , w&y I ' m not a free m » n , and has no vote . " " Well , but if we get it for voh , will y « u give it to Jfr . Walter l" tl What , Pat Malone vote for bloody ould

      Walter ? no , be Jasus , I'll cut my tongue out first , not for a thousand , no nor for ten thousand pounds- " And so ended the interview ; when Pat being more shrewd than poiisb » d , immediately repaired to the committee room , ar > d having mentioned the case to Mr . Sturge ' s agent , search was made , and sure enough there stood the name of Patrick Malone , as a ten pound householder . When learning the fact , Paddy jumped like a deer , and exclaimed , " Arrah ! be Jasus , then , aura enough , won't Paddy Malone be the first man in the morning to vote for Sturge and the Charter ! " and honest Paddy , who by this had returned with bis piper , was as good as his word . The piper arrived ; Mr . O'Connor called for an Irish jig , while M'Douall was in search of the Sutton brigade . The jig was struck up , and Paddy and a partner , a fine strapping mountaineer , set to a merry jig , each with a shillalah in bis hand , playing the cruck-sfcull exercise , to the tune of the fox *

      Canter ' s jig , to the great delight of the spectators . By this time the Sutton brigade , nnder M'Douall , bad arrived , and iDsfcantly the word " Turn out the gaard !" was given , and passed from room to room ; and in less than ten minutes a procession , six a-breast and more than 400 yards long , was formed in front of the guardroom , the piper at their head , with Pat Malone oil one side and his athletic partner in the dance on the other . Thus marshalled , with O'Connor , Cooper , M'Douall , West , and Jones at their head ( Meaii and Clarke being appointed to Arnold ) , the procession , under the guidance of Pat Malone , proceeded through the Irish part of tbe towa , as Pat said , just to Wake the boys ; and sure enough tbe boys dressed themselves in double quick time , to the tune ot Si . Patrick ' s day ia the morning . By twelve o ' ciesk tbe procession was immense , and the Blue band silenced , and even the pipes smothered in the chorus of

      Spread , spread tea Charter . ' spread the Charter through the laud ; Let Britons bold and brave join heart in hand . The music of a thousand voices , Cooper leading them , all roused the sleeping cottagers from their rest , who bad ample time to dress before the tail of the procession passed . The night was calm and Berem , and the gas shone bright , while many an illuminated window told ft tale of Tory midnight purity . For two and a half hoars th « vast assemblage had traversed the town cheering at the friendly mansion and groaning at the foe ' s retreat , until at length a halt was made before the Conserratire Assembly Rooms at half-past one , and the full melody of Chartist song

      burst from every throat , which appeared as if by magic to extinguish tbe shining light of faction inside , for darkness followed the blaze . After Ibis the procession proceeded to the house of Mr . Samuel Tod , where Mr . Sturge was stopping , and here a scene occurred which baffles all description . The vast assemblage formed into a hollow square , and sung and cheered , until Starge , aroused from his slumber , presented himself at a window , and his appearance waa hailed with cheers that Baade the town ring again . "•• Well , my friend , " said hone&t Joseph , " hast thon met with any suspicious characters to-night ? " " Not many , " was the reply ; which was followed , by nine times nine cheers . The procession again formed , and , as if by mutual consent , struck

      up—11 We won't go home till morning , We won't go home till morning , We won't go home till morning , Till Walter runs away , Till Walter runs away , Till Walter mas away . " After having left Mr . Sturge , the procession marched throngh the whole town , and at half-past two returned t « their quarters , when the four Sutton glee singers were in attendance , who regaled the brigade , or rather staff , witn aome ' excellent glees . We were not long in quarters , when " Turn out tbe guard ! " resounded through the barracks , and upon the instant all were upon their legs headed by their leaders , ' in quick pursuit of a party of Blue skirmishers who had stolen a voter ; he was an elderly gentleman , within a shade of tbe police act ; ,

      inasmuch as his steps were unsteady , his walk circuitous , and hiB eye jolly . In less than two minutes the priz * was in tbe bands of the Chartists , and was safely conveyed to bis own houEa at half-past three , when his wife in a state of great alarm threw tbe key from the window , tbe Chartists opened the door , and remained till it was locked inside , after which having received tbe thanks of the released voter and his lady , they stationed six stout fellows as a guard npon tbe door , with strict injunctions that no influence should be used by them , while no intrusion should be permitted from the enemy . We were not long in quarters after this skirmish when " Torn out the guard" again assailed our ears , sod again the guard waa ont to Reform yard , where a voter had been besieged during a whole night by tbe enemy , but was quickly restored to freedom by the Chartist staff , and a strong guard also left for hi * protection .

      In oo * progress we met Tory magistrates , Tory captains , Tory agents , and Tory bludgeon-men flying in twos and threes in all directions from the ward nightwatch , —tor every ward baa its night-watch . At length the day began to dawn , and sypmtoms of bine butchers , blue fishmongers , and blue bakers presented themselves , bat shortly disappeared before tbe ChartUt procession , which waa all marshalled , with the brave Snttoners at their bead , precisely at four o ' clock , and upon the word beinggiven , all moved towards the market-place , where the booths had been erected , and which O ' Connor bad pledged himself to be in possession of by a quarter past four ; and by that honr every inch of ground was in possession of the people , the booths being literally lined outside . Thus matters proceeded till eight o ' clock , at which hour the Tories bad mustered in the bootks in the

      greatest number , and , emboldened by this , a large body of blue devils rosbed into the market-place , and attempted to ; f « c * tl » pbartlats back ; but in less than five minutes them Hans ware driven from the field in all directions , an ^ for tbe lemaindeir of the day * and up to the close of the election , the Mark « t-place remained in the undisturbed poaseaion of the Chartists . To describe the scene which was kept up tw eight mortal hoars would be impossible ; excitement never abated , but on the contrary appeared to increase as the hours rolled on . . . : ¦ . : ' -: -TV ¦ :.-v ; ,: ., ry - v- .: - -. v , < > - ¦¦ •/¦ . '¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦ :

      Att « n o ' olock , Waltei- Was beat , dead beat , and tie discovered , for the first time , that virtue would rally around Sturge ; and theu to work went Tory gold and WWg influence . The rascally compromisers , alarmed for their £ 4000 , began to exert ^ helr influence ; many Whigs polled for Walter , and about ; Torty-four publicans , who were operated upon by double motives , also fle % to the rescue . The W&ig magistrates being the compromiser * threatened with loss of license upon the one 6 and , while Stnrge ' s antl-tippling resolutioni rendered them unfriendly upon the other , and yet , in spite of all did Sturge pell 1801 electors , being a large majority of the registered consutaent body , while Walter ' s Parliamentary title consists in many voices from the grive , and many sweet oneB purchased with Tory gold j but howbtit , oufc he will certainly go , once mote , and , perhaps , loss in cash will teach him & lesson which loss of character does not as yet appear to have impressed upon his mind . : ' -

      At four o ' clock , the market-place was crammed , and the feeble Tory crew proclaimed the feeble Tory triumpb , which was followed by groans " from tha ; assembled thousands ; and Immediately Mr . O'Connor presented hlmaelf at ttve -window of his lodgings , arid was hailed with the most enthusiastic cheers . Alderman Wakefield , the head conspirator , and a number of his Whig dupes were in the opposite windows of tbo ^ police courts ; and if Walter writhed under the castigation on the previous day at tLe nomination , Wakefleld and his crew nuist have quailed under O'Connor ' s lash when he ~ said , " You arc now ,, you slaves , well represented : you have a tenegad ^ Whi g and a renegade Tory . " Wakefield and his party could not stand the thousands of honest fingers which were indignantly pointed at them , amid groans and execrations , and were literally driven from their peeping holes . .

      O'Connor then pnt on his boots , without skin on his heels , and bopped across the market-plaee , where he again addressed them . ; v A public meeting which was announced for seven o'clock , in the Market-place , waaaddreesed by O'Connor , M 'Donall , Clarke , aud West ; Kpbsrts , O'Connor ' s seconder being in the chair ; towards the close of the business , West announced that he had bean grossly insulted by some blue lambs , who threatened to murder him and O'Connor . This threat ; roused the blosd of the Irish Catholics , who immediately after the proces-1

      sion had escorted O'Connorhome , formed themselves ¦ with a powerful party , and paraded the town tbe whole of Friday night , occasionally passing O'Connor's lodgings , and cheering . One circumstance should not be omitted , the blues contemplated having a procession , and at about half-past seven , made thoir appearance in the Market-place , with a vast number of blue flags and banners ; but upon beholding the Chartist gathering , the whole party became simultaneously panic-Stricken , dropped their banners ; and ecampereti off in all directions , to the great amusement of the Chartists ,

      After the meeting , the Chartists formed a procession , sung through the streets , accompanied O'Connor to his home , and thus terminated the ever-memorable Nottingham struggle , In which virtue put vice to shame and sobriety gained a lasting triumph over dissipation . We must new return for i moment to the notice of the Reverend Mr . Stephens , whom his ' -friend , the Times , rejoices now to call his Conservative Friend . This gentleman proceeded on Thursday after the nomination to the house of Mr . Oliver , the printer , for the purpose of revising and correcting a Tory speech ,

      Which he made upon his health being proposed by Walter ' s Committee , and while there was recognised by many a poor fellow who had stinted himself of a dinner to augment the Stephens' Defence Fund . About a hundred persons collected outside ; some crying out 'D—n thee , give me my shilling , 1 wanted a dinner when I gave it thee ; give me my threepence , thou devil ;!" Mr . Oliver in vain tried to appease and disperse them , by calling in tbe police ; when fortunately Mr . OCjnnbr made his appearance , and persuaded the people to go peaceably away .

      On Saturday morning , Mr . Feargua O'Connor and Alderman Frearson , accompanied by a number of the moat respectable inhabitants , and surrounded by thousands of the good peoplo , appeared at the police office , to answer to the several charges preferred against them , and in less than a minute the large room was crammed . Nine magistrates were in attendance , the mayor In the chair ; when Mr . Bowly , solicitor for the plaintiffs , announced that it was not his intention to offer any evidence in support Of the charges : that he , therefore , abandoned the case against both defendants . Mr . Alderman Frearson said , that he demanded an apology for the insults offered to him , and insisted upon the proceedings going forward . Mr : Browne , solicitor for Mr . Frearson , said that the course intended to be pursued by the plaintiff was adopted with his perfect concurrence , and was , in his opinion , tantamount toan apology .

      The Mayor observed , tb . it no evidence being adduced , they had no power to proceed . Mr . O'Connor eaid that he required no apology ; that be was perfectly satisfied with the arrangement , and when the announcement was made that this case was dismissed , the building rung with cheers , which were reechoed outalde , and thus terminated tho great prosecution . - . - ' . ; . - - . ¦ '• - ; ' ¦ - ¦ •'• "¦ ' . ¦ .

      MiscHESTEK . —Wednesday Morning , half-past four o ' clock . —The decision of the delegates from the power-loon * factories , of which I sens an account yesterday , was that they would hold a public meetine in Granby Row Fields , at four o'clock on this ( Wednesday ) morning .

      At about half-past four o ' clock Mr . Crossley } from Siaijbridge . was unanimously called to the chair . HeopeDed the proeeedingsbystating that thebusjiess of the meeting was to take into consideration tbe best plan to be adopted to secure a fair day's wage for a fair day's work . The meeting was addressed by Mr . Donavan , Mr . Line , Mr . M'Csrtney , Mr . Doyle , and Mr . DJSOD . Eie ktter gantlemaa told tbe people that he thought &e anti-Corn Law League was at tbe bottom of these reductions . It would be remembered by many present that that oracle of the League , Dickey Cobden , bad told Sir Robert Peel that if the Corn

      laws were not repealed it would be impossible to ieep the people in the manufacturing districts in mbordinanon ; and the manufacturers being desirous of making their prophet appear as a true one , iid adopted the plan of reducing -wages to drive the jssople to desperation . But he ( Mr . Dixon ) hoped that the people would have more goad sense than to be made the tools of toe parties who fisd proved their greatest enemies 5 and that they would , whilst endeavouring to get an advance of wages , be determined to keep the peace . The-number present was about ten thousand . After the meeting they formed into procession to go through the manufacturing parts of thetown . -

      Aboc ; half-past five o'clock , a number of females & 3 embledaitbe newborn-hood of Great Ancoatsstreev , aad proceed through , tae main street ^ , their numbera ail tbe while augmenting . Their object was to stoptsfc various mills not already stopped . Having succeeded in bringing oat the workpeople m the employ of Mr . Moor , of Mill-street , they then proceeded to the mill of Messrs . Kennedy , Taere their application for the dismissal of their "hands" having been refused , they poured a tre-Bendous volley of scones into the windows , burst opes the outer door , and were about to rush into the faetory , when a posse of police arrived , headed h Sir C . Siaw . A scene herenpon tookpl&ce which

      * lsfi 35 all description . The police charged the people , sparing neither age nor Bex , but laying ikrat them right and left with their bludgeons and estlasses ; many were knocked down and beaten till & £ j were unable to rise from the ground . Oae old fan , eighty-rtwo years of age , and within a few jirds of his own door ^ had his head cut in a most iWking maoaer by a blow from a cutlass . A great Raptitj of stones were thrown ; and the people iiTing rallied , the police , who had separated in fours and fives to use their bludgeons and cutlasses , simpered t / ff in all directions , amidst the curses

      led execrations of the immense assemblage ; nor fid they stop till they were told by their Buperiora tint the military were close at hand . The military then came up , consisting of a detachment of Dragoons tad another of tie Rifle Brigade . The police again returned to tbe charge , and with the assistance of tbe soldiery Baceeeded in dispersing the people , and eipinrinfr many , ehiefly boys , whom they took into Messrs . Kennedy ' s mill ; and after a short time , Batched them down under an escort of both horse led foot , and a numerous body of the police to the Borough Court for examination .

      At twelve o ' clock , the people again assembled in Granby Row Fields , according to the decision of the meeting in the morning . Mr . Donavan was caaninaonsly called to the chair . He said that , as t working ; man , and a power-loom weaver , be would rwhtr die than go to work , until he had a fair remuneration for his labour . His was not a solitary case . He had three children and a wife . He dare fiot go home j for if he did , these children would uk him for bread , and be had none to give them ; * &d lie was sore that thousands of those who now beird him wets in tbe sa , tne condition . ( Loud cries 6 f Yes , we « re . ) Mr . D . made a powerful appeal to the "people , daring which he was loudly cheered . The fleeting was also addressed by Messrs . Dixon , Linei P , M * - Brophf , Woolenstan , and Kliers . 'Tae ^ nanibers present were from 15 . 000 to

      20 , 000 . ¦ - . -- - ¦ - ¦ ; A- resolutionTras passed by acclamation— 41 That * meeting of the various trades and working men be idd on this ground on to-morrow morning , at six dock ; at d that we & > not return to work until we We the prices ' paid to us lor our labour that we W in the beginning of 1840 .

      From other sources we collect the following : — Between fifty and sixty persons have been apprehended , and lodged in tho New Bailey prison Threats have been uttered in many parts of the town that the New Bailey shall be palled down , « nd the prisoners liberated . In Borne instances temporary places of confinement have been demolished . The police officers on Wednesday heard of an intention to attack the lock-up at Newtown . A strong body vras despatched thither , and arrived fust in time to find the deed

      accomplished they had been sent to prevent . The attack commenced , about a quarter-past twelve o ' clock , the crowd throwing stones at the lock-up , which is a small building , formerly-a dwelling , but altered so as to form s police-station , where several men are generally on duty . They soon forced a way into the premises , and very speedily demolished the furniture . They then tore down doors , window-frames , the beams of the roof , and we are assured by an eyewitness that in ten minutes the place was almost literally levelled with the ground .

      Shortly afterwards , a report reached the policeoffiee that the same body of men intended to attack the Manchester Gas Work " , at Newtown ; and abont half-past twelve a Btroug body of the police was despatched thither . We understand that the Gas Works had become an object of attack from the circumstance that some of the turn-outs who had been captured by the police , had been conveyed theTe for safety : and the crowd expressed a determination to rescue the priSOaeTS . Since wruing the above , we learn , that the attack was made ; the mob speedily forced open the doors of the gas-works , broke two or three windows , and did some other damage , but not to any considerable

      extent . They found the two prisoners of whom they were in search , in the custody of three policemen . They beat the policemen severely , and rescued the prisoners . From an eye witness who waa on the spot shortly afterwards , we learn that about halfpast oae o ' clock there could not be fewer lhan 8 , 000 or 10 . 000 people in the neighbourhood ; the dragoons were galloping about , with drawn sabre 3 , driving the people back : strong bodies of the police and the 60 th Rifles were keeping the ends of the streets in various directions , so as to prevent the mob passing ; and tbis was the state ot things in the streets for about half a mile round the gas works in all directions .

      Another report , brought to the police-office ahout ths same time , was , that the rioters intended to -risit the Liverpool and Manchester Railway ( and probably others ) with the object of tearing up the rails , and thus , as they hoped , preventing any reinforcements of military reaching the town . The Riot Act was read opposite Stirling and Beckton ' s Lower Mosley-street , by Daniel Maude , Esq , at an early hour this morning . One of the Borough Magistrates also read the Riot Act in the neighbourhood of the Gas Work , at the attack there .

      OldhamI—When the body of turn-outs , who had left Ashton , as above stated by our correspondent , arrived , at Oldbam , they attacked several factories on that side of tbe town by which they entered ; amongst , which were those of Messrs . John Worthington and Sons , Messrs . Joseph Rowland and Sons , and one or two other ? . When they made their appearance at Messrs ., Wortbington ' s factory one of the firm very imprudently presented a . blunderbos at them , and narrowly escaped very serious abuse . At this place , the police made a stand against them ; and , after a a severe conflict , in which several of them received considerable injury , succeeded in securing two turn-ou ' s whom they lodged in prison , and who were subsequently committed by the magistrates for trial at the next assizes . A letter from a friend of oura ia Oldham jttst received says ;—

      The factory hands have struck work in this town and neighbourhood this day ( Wednesday . ) The LKADI 5 S HEN OP TBE CHARTI 37 S HATE BEEN SWOBJT IS SPEC-iax CC » 'szaJB » VES . There has been a meeting to-nighc , and the turn-outs appear determin ed to persevere . They are to Lave another meeting tomorrow ot nine o ' clock .

      ( From another Correspondent . ) NotUnghaui , Tuesday , i > th Anguat . " Well / . the hurley burley'a done , And the battle's lost and won . " The bullying Tories , through bribery , kidnapping , and the blackguard butcher boys , flsh-cartroads , aaA the tag-rag-and-bobtail of Blue Lambery , have returned Mr . Walter . Macn good may be do them , if they can keep him , whichi by the by , we doubt very ranch . The petition against his return will , be presented to * night ; and we suspect that sufficient proof will be produced to turn out this " fine old Bnglish gentleman " and his notions of olden day corrnptloba , too . He had 1 , 885 to vote for the conservation of old feudal barbarities , and alt the antiquated and noyei corruptions

      of Granny Church , and Giffer State . They boast of a victory . Let them lay this flittering unction to their hearts , and be welcome to enjoy the deception . We have struck the death-blow t > corrupiion here . 1 , 80 i ; good men and true have recorded their votes , 'un ? bought ones , for Starge and the Charter—call ye this nothing ? and this , too , with Clean teeth and empty stomachs . O ! how can the fools thus glory in their own shame I and yet call it a victory , merely because they bave polled eighty-four more than the friends of liberty —and one-third of the eighty-four bad votes f l Then the compromising Whigs Wielfe neutral , of course . Many of oar friends were burked , or otherwise disposed of ; and we lost many , because we would not treat them to refreshments , when they came in , or prior to starting to the poll .

      The greatest moral triumph ever gained in England Is oar numerical defeat . Tis no use for the Tories to cock their tails and try to crow so donsely- —they tacitly give their boastiDg the He—they dare not exhibit any symptom of rejoicing . No chairing , very little gczzling , all now is hushed ; and yit Chartismconquered Chartism—walks ^ about with ; elevated crest . The victorious lories are chop-fallen—dismayed ; and wear , notwithstanding their taunts , a sort of a howcame-ye-so face . They look qvlalmiBh . and jaded , nnd thoroughly ashamed to look their honest and incorruptible fellow-townsmen in the'face . ; The poll book will be published in a day or two more , and "Then , O taen , " "O dear ^ what will the matter be , " " Sampson will lose al ( his hair . " Exclusive dealing must be most rigidly obstrved , and will be continued till the Tory and Whig compromise shopocrats , begin to sing with doleful faces .

      ' " The Bailiff * are coming , O dear , O dear . 1 The Biilifikar * comtng , O dear J ' Yes , they must get tickets for Baatite nine water svup And the Chartist may exclaim , en verily , " Now is the winter ; . of onr discontent , : Made glorious summer by the sttn of Corie " " FeargashaB quit himself like Feairgns r And beroioly hath furnished a flght heroic .
