sion to-day. In the forenoon, 

 numerous bodies of the refractory 

 cotton -spinners, according to 

 their daily custom, assembled 

 about the factory of Messrs. Gray 

 and Co., near Ancoat's- street, 

 for the purpose of preventing any 

 one going to work there. Whilst 

 parading round the factory about 

 noon, the spinners assert that 

 stones were thrown at them from 

 the interior of the mill. How far 

 this assertion is true, and whether 

 It be not a report made by the 

 spinners to justify their proceed- 

 ings, I cannot ascertain. They, 

 however, began to demolish the 

 windows of the factory, and broke 

 numbers of them, and endeavour- 

 ed to force their way into the 

 mill, by breaking open the gates 

 and lower windows. The persons 

 in the inside, who were armed, 

 beinsc alarmed for their own 

 safety, as their lives would be m 

 great danger if the assailants suc- 

 ceeded in entering the mill, fired 

 upon them from the windows. 

 Several of the mob were severely 

 wounded. The number is not 

 known, but it is generally stated 

 as being about six or seven. 

 Four have been brought to the 

 infirmary dangerously wounded : 

 one of them mortally in the groin; 

 another report says, died almost 

 immediately. 



" The mob was repulsed by 

 this spirited conduct, and Messrs. 

 Gray and Co. had time to send to 

 the magistrates for assistance, 

 who speedily arrived with a paity 

 of dragoons and infantry. The 

 number of people then assembled 

 was very great, probably about 

 10 or 12,000; some have esti- 

 mated them at 30,000. The riot 

 act was read, and after the expi. 



ration of the hour, the military 

 dispersed the mob. 



2. Drontheim. — Yesterday, the 

 solemn entry of the King and 

 Crown Prince took place. They 

 were met at Oust by two detach- 

 ments of the volunteer cavalry 

 and of the horse chasseurs. 

 About half a mile from the place, 

 a double row was formed by the 

 country people of both sexes, 

 who occupied both sides of the 

 road, and strewed flowers in the 

 way of the royal coach as it passed 

 along. At the end of these ranks 

 of peasants were assembled the 

 Bailiff of the Chapter, Count 

 Trampe, the chief of the troops 

 of the district. Gen. Seyersted, 

 and all the other civil and 

 military functionaries of distinc- 

 tion. General Seyersted went 

 to meet the King at the head of 

 the high staff, and delivered to 

 him the keys of the city on a 

 velvet cushion. The streets were 

 crowded by an innumerable mul- 

 titude, and the expression of their 

 joy was so loud and unanimous, 

 that it almost overpowered the 

 sound produced by the constant 

 discharges of artillery which took 

 place from the forts and the 

 armed vessels in the harbour. 

 At the great gate of the city a 

 triumphal arch was erected, which 

 had on one side the arms of the 

 King, and this Latin inscription 

 — " Priscum restituit Nidaroseai 

 decus ;'* and on the other, the 

 arms of the Crown Prince, with 

 the following — '* Regis et populi 

 delicice." 



His Majesty now alighted 

 from his coach, and was received 

 before the triumphal arch by the 

 Bailiff of the Cliapter, Count 

 Trampe, who, at the head of the 

 magistrates
