regret to learn from Staleybridge that serious rioting has taken place in that town . It commenced on Friday , the 20 th , the great cause of complaint being an alteration in the mode of distributing relief—the Committee having decided to substitute tickets for money . Several other changes were introduced , but the outbreak appears to be almost entirely traceable to the adoption of the ticket system . The outrages committed on
Friday and Friday night ivere of a most disgraceful character . Property to a serious amount was pillaged or destroyed , and for a time the town ivas completely at the mercy of an infuriated mob—composed , to a large extent , we regret to say , of women . Eighty-two of the rioters were apprehended , and brought before the Magistrates on the following day , when 29 of them—all , with one exception , Irishmen—were committed
for trial . The disturbances were renewed on Saturday , after it became known that the Committee refused to submit to the dictation of the mob , and ivould for the present at least adhere to the obnoxious arrangement . The authorities had secured the assistance ef a tr oop of Hussars , and a considerable body of the county police ; but , nothwithstanding these precautions ,
the rioters resumed their operations , and baffling the military and police , either sacked provision shops or overawed tradesmen into compliance with their demands for food . On Monday there ivas a renewal of the disturbances at Staleybridge , and riots at Ashton , Dukinfield , and Hyde . At the latter places , however , it seems pretty clear that the
mischief was clone by the turbulent fellows with whom the outbreak at Staleybridge originated . Mr . Baron Martin , in his charge to the grand jury at Liverpool , referred to the total absence from the calendar of offences ivhieh could be traced to the existing distress ; and we cordially join with Mr . Farnall , in the hope he expressed at the meeting of the Central Committee " that the
benevolent people of England will not conclude that the portion of the ivorkpeople of Staleybridge , who have been misled , lepresent the operatives of the cotton districts . " The Central Committee have passed the folloiving resolution : — " That whilst deeply lamenting the late disturbances , they entirely approved of the reduction in the scale of relief , and the distribution of that relief by ticket—a plan calculated to prevent the irregularities Jwhich have been complained of , and which
must be for the obvious advantage of the families of the recipients of relief . " A special meeting of the Mansion House Relief Committee ivas held to consider the urgent application for relief made to them from Staleybridge . The Rev . Thomas Floyd , a clergyman of the toivn , attended , and to some extent explained the causes of the outbreak . There had been causes of irritation existing for some time ; and though the rev .
gentleman ivonld not condemn the change in the mode of relief , from money to tickets , still he thought the time selected for the change was injudicious . The committee voted £ 500 , to be distributed in money by the local relief committee , if they ivould take charge of it .

in restoring order . The summons ivas complied with , and a fearful encounter took place between the seamen and the mutineers .

of manslaughter against a marine returned . James Stephens , charged with the murder of Emma Bottomley , at Batley Carr , near Deivsbury , has been committed for trial .
