Private accounts from Birmingham, dated at eleven o ' clock last night,
have reached us this morning. They represent the alarm of the inhabitants of Birmingham as very great ; and it would appear, not without reason. Although no general conflict had taken place, the Policemen-who were reinforced yesterday evening with 40 fresh men front London, making the force 100-were employed in dispersing dis- orderly assemblages in various parts of the town. The dispersion of a meeting at Holloway-head was the work of two hours. Numerous arrests were taking place constantly. All the prisoners had their pockets full of stones ; many were armed with a variety of ugly and dangerous weapons, and more with iron bars torn front the rail- ing of St. Thomas's Church. Two wheelbarrows filled with rails were seized. The notorious Dr. Taylor, and nine other Chart- ists, were made prisoners yesterday afternoon, and sent under the escort of a jmrty of dragoons to Warwick Gaol. This was (lone so cleverly, that part of the escort returned to town before the people were aware that Taylor had been carried off. The crowd in the streets was very great up to last night. The women were particu- larly active in inciting the men to violence. Several parties of colliers had entered the town. An attack on the Mayor's residence was plotted, and some persons arrested on a charge of urging the mob to make the attempt. In the opinion of a most intelligent correspondent, the mob yesterday had not lost ground, but rather kept the upper hand. The Policemen behaved exceedingly well, and the Magistrates were very active.
