The following have been bound over for trial at the approaching assizes: John Goodyear, the High Constable; John Hooper; I. D. Shadd, editor of the Provincial Freeman, and the man who received the dispatch from London, and instigated the whole proceedings; John Sparks, Edward Doston, Shelby Smith, and W. Street. About one hundred and fifty others are liable for riot, who will be served in turn.
