We lay before our Readers to-day, very ample and interesting details of the three great Public Meetings, held on the subject of the late Manchester atrocities, at York and Leeds, on Monday, and at Kilmarnock, in the west of Scotland, on •Saturday. Each Meeting is marked by certain very distinctive features; but they all agree in presenting this happy and quieting result—that the peciple rt►et in peace, and were al lowed to part in peace. The Meeting of York was wholly under the sanc tion and guidance of the Civil Authorities. The LORD MAYOR of the City presided; one of the Coun sel to the City opened the business, and moved the Resolutions ; one of the Aldermen seconded them; and one of the Members of Parliament for the City - (Mr. DuNnas), corroborated them by his approval. The question before them was treated, as it ought to be, not as a party question, but as a question between the lovers of the Constitution and its enemies, " If ever," said Mr. DUNDAS, most truly, " it be- comes a party question, it will be owing to the Go vernment leaguing itself openly with the Magistrates." The conduct of the Magistrates at Manchester was condemned in terms which yield in severity to no thing which the indignation of public feeling has yet given utterance to ; and we do think, that " hard and stoney•hearted" as these Gentlemen may be—deaf— obstinately deaf as they have hitherto shewn them selves, to all that the ordinary Public have been able to say on the subject, they cannot help feeling con siderably impressed—we could almost hope—edi fied, by reading the solemn condemnation which Gentlemen, equal in official trust and respectabi lity with themselves, have, after the most mature reflection, and from motives the most unbiassed, found themselves compelled to pronounce on their conduct. The interruption given to the Meeting of the 16th was pronounced by the leading speaker to be 66 illegal, unconstitutional, and INHUMAN:" and the sentiment was happily re-echoed by another Gentleman, in the words of the Poet: " Some Devil had thrust sweet Nature's hand aside, " Ere she had pour'd her balm within their breasts, " To warm their grow and earthy mould of lash ' 4 With pity!" The Meeting at York is extremely remarkable on several other accounts. The people went to it (will it be believed?) in mat - thing order, with Bands play ing, and with colours flying, lettered all over with Reform Inscriptions ; and yet the Magistracy of York, instead of dispersing them by the sword, presided over, and applauded their proceedings! Can that be treason and open rebellion at Manchester, which at York is loyal and constitutional conduct? At Leeds, as our Readers are aware, the Meeting was left entirely in the hands of the Reformers, and assumed, of course, more of a party complexion than it might otherwise have possessed. The whole pro- 1 ceedings were, however, characterized by the utmost peace and good order. The Mities and Magistrates meddled neither with the people nor with their flags: l and the people dispersed as they came, without of fering, or indicating a wish to offer, the slightest in terruption to the public peace. Would that which was wise in the Magistrates of Leeds have been other wise in the Magistrates of Paisley? The Meeting at Kilmarnock, folionirig so imme diately after the disturbances at Paisley, bad been looked to with considerable feelings of alarm ; but we are glad to perceive that there also the good sense of the people, and a better sense of propriety in the Local Authorities, combined in securing another triumph for public order And constitutional right: The Civil Authorities had prutfakieliothed t h in if ei no violence was offered, if decorum was not vio lated, they would allow the people to meet and say what they chose—and that if flags with seditious in scriptions should be displayed, they would note them down, and bring the bearers afie, wards to account for so doing." The people, on their parts, anxious to avoid any conflict with the Civil Power, which might without any compromise of principle be avoided—anxious to refrain from giving even a • colour of offence—did nor bring any flags with them to the Meeting—they offered no manner of violence, no insult to decorum—the only emblem they boie was a Scotch thistle in their hats. The Magistrates paid homage to the motto of which that thistle was. the emblem— over a defenceless inuititude,tir from empty trophiku won at the hazard of consequences in whicll.all that is deArj. us as !Usti and as Citizens, is involved. • The Paris Papers OfNuSay arrived this foie noon. The Elections of the third series are now all completed. The Journal des Debate gives the fol• lowing classification of the persons returned.

" From the day," adds the letter, " that he hoisted his flag as Com.; mander-in-Chief of the Chilean Navy, till the day of his sailing, he not only abstained from every act, for which the difficulty of manning his ships might have afforded a pretence, but actually rendered every pos sible assistance which could have been expected from our own ships of war ; and we know of no instaimei where any seams► were allowed to enter foihis drop ; contrary to the wishes of their employers ;15ut in several cases men who had volunteered and ac tually received bounty, were given up - on the first application." erlsorr•mee Tuesday evening, at seven o'clock, their Royal.

We belie►e it is almost without precedent that so serious a riot as that which commenced in Paisley on the 11th instant, should have ended (if ended it be) without bloodshed. For five successive days the town was kept in constant alarm, during which pe riod the Riot Act was five times read, and in each of these days there was more or less destruction of pro pert)? by the mob. The last four days have passed over quietly, but there have been certain symptoms, which indiCate that the spirit of mischief only slum hers. This pause from outrage and perpetual alarm has given time td recollect many circumstances, which in the hurry and bustle of the moment passed by nor heeded. Of these we shall for the present only me& tion one or two. A party of Special Constables wen patroling Causeyside-street on Saturday night about twelve o'clock, and were assailed- with a vast shower of stones ; it turned out, however, that this attack was intended to cover the breaking into a spirit shop, which took place at the same time. Fortunately dos proprietor heard the depredators, and went down stain with a light, and they were not hardy enough to accomplish their purpose by open violence. Pro-, vious to the attack on the house of the Ree,,Dr. Findlay, is Storie-street, on Sunday night, after they had armed themselves with the iron railing fres She Methodist Chapel, one man was heard to say, "Now for , he has often preached patience, we will give him an opportunity of exercising it. A cry of No, no," was uttered by the mob; the first speaker resumed, " he is an old offender, he consecrated the volunteers colours many years ago;' on which they proceeded, and not only demolished the windows to the street, but forced open the outer door and broke the windows in the lobby. In some of the streets in the west end of the town, stones were laid down dur ing the twilight, for the purpose of using after it was dark, so that the rioters, when the patroles advanced, had only to stoop and lift them. There were also very many instances, during the disturbances, of stones and btick•bats, some of them warm from the fire, having been thrown from windows, in streets chiefly occupied by the operative population. '1 1 41 GLASGOW, SEPTEMBER 2%, rt.-74111i Glasgow, we are happy to say, ccmtindeir IMO of perfect tranquillity, and without any apprehensions, as far-as we can learn, of any further outrage. Paisley is also quiet ; but, we are sorry to learn, that the evil appears to have taken deep root in that town ; and doubts are entertained whetherthere may not be some further demonstrations of the bad spirit which prevails there.--Glasgave Herald, Last night a Deputation of Kentish Freeholders came express to town, and waited upon Mr. HUNT, to request him to consent tp have his name put in no mination to represent that County, in the morn of the late Sw EDWARD KNATCHBUI # L, with an offer to support his Election free of repose& Mr. Mpor re ceived them with great politeness totwevrare not made acquainted with the result of Alse ooafemoce.

Several persons were brought up this day to the New Bailey, and examined before Mr. Nonnts,• the Magistrate, on various charges, all arising out of the wearing of that emblem of a Radical Reformer—a white-hat I Thomas /Met was charged, by four constables, with having made a great noise in the yard of the Old Church, while Service was being performed, at three o'Clock, en Sunday afternoon. The witnesses said, that a great number of people were col lected in the Church-yard, and madea great noise. At first there were about 100, but the number increased. They called out to the police-officers, and used insulting language to them. One of the witnesses observed, that they were principally townspeople ;.they were principally persons with trhite-hots. Mr. Norris.—rNeirer mind the white-hats. This is a seriout offenee, and must belonished. One of the constables stated, that Batty, the officer, had been struck by the prisoner. Batty confirmed this. Mr. Norris.—Then he must find sureties to appear at the Sessions. A decent-looking man came forward, and said, that theprisoner was coming froth chapel, and did not interfere with the crowd. He had only a white hat on, and this was the reason he had been taken. The man said, " I will swgar positively to this." Mr. Norris.—ant Batty swears positively to the man. He must find sureties,. I'll hear no more. Four men then came forward, and said, that about ten o'clock Supday night, they had been attacked by Police Officers, who struck them, and took away their white hats. Each of them made his charge separately, aid produced witnesses who were with them at the time. It was clearly proved that the men were walking quietly along, and that they were struck by the officers before they were aware of it. Three of them failed in identi fying the officer who struck them; but another, and his witness, swore posidvek to the Qatar. ' The Constables, however, declared that they were altogether at that hour, and that they had not committed the assauk. . Mr. Norris.—lt is clear, then, that you casMot identify the person who struck you. I Jan dismiss the complain. I have no doubt that -you were struck,. and that you lois - your white hat. If you think that this caoer took it, yoq kiust summon him to the Court of Requests, and you may, if you please, in dict him at the *WWI for the assault. The man said, I will most certainly indict him ; for I can prove that be struck me, and took away my hat, while I was walking quietly along. These are the only cases that occurred at the New Bailey' yesterday. lam sorry to add; however, that two men were taken to the Infirmary, about it o'clock, on Monday night, whose heads were dreadfolir bruised. They were walking along with white bats on, and some of the police-officers attacked them with their truncheons, before they could defend themselves. CRIM. CON. IN HIGH BLOOM.

When they had passed the iron-gates at the back part of the hall, and were come to the flat bridge, of one arch, which crosses the rivulet a short distance from the gates, guarded only by stone pillars and chains, owing to the extreme darkness of the night, and the water be ing swollen from the effect of a thunderstorm which happened a few hours preyious, and, in addition, the bridge not being in a direct line with the entrance. from the gates ? the postilion who had the manage -mercy( the wheel horses unfortunately did not take a svffwient turn, but came in contact with ;he pillar, at the corner of the bridge, by „which the carriage was upset, and their hardships violently precipitated IMA ehaieow part Of die Water, but providentially swither of them received any material injury..
