The Constable at Huddersfield, to whom a Requi sition, signed by a number of the inhabitants, re. , qiiesting him to call a Meeting of the Inhabitants for the 2d of August, having refused to comply with the Requisition, a Public Meeting of the Inhabitants of that town and neighbourhood has been called for that day by the parties" themselves, " to take into their most serious consideration the best means of obtaining relief from the pressing burthens which they now labour under, and the most effectual means of securing their Constitutional rights in the Com mons House of Parliament, and to form a National 'Union, on Constitutional grounds, to support the pil lars of the Constitution of England." Yesterday there was to be a Reform Meeting held on Barkisland Moor, near Ripponden, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Another is announced to be held on Saturday, near Christchurch, Macclesfield. The Magistrates of Preston have come to Resolu tions similar to those passed at the General Quarter Sessions held at Manchester and Knutsford, for , the preservation of the public peace. MEETING AT CRONKAYSHAW MOOR' ROCHDALE. A numerous Meeting of the Reformers of Roct. dale, and its neighbourhoOd, took place on' Monday afternoon, on Cronkayshaw Moor, about a mile from Rochdale. The number of persons present could not be less than about 15,000. The chief speaker on the occasion was said to be a son of St. Crispin ; and the proceedings were nearly similar to those which took place at Hunslet Moor. The Bill of Major CART WRIGHT, for Annual Parliaments, Universal Suf frage, and Election by Ballot, was unanimously adopted as the political creed of the Meeting, and Resolutions passed declaring all the evils of our pre sent condition to have originated from a corrupt per severance in an opposite system. The speakers were rather temperate in their language, and deprecated all recourse to violence, contending that the cause of truth, which they said was that of the Reformers, must of itself finally prevail. An unusual number of women were among the crowd, and gave, by their poverty-struck appearance. 4 distressing degree of interest to the complexion of the Meeting. Towards the conclusion some evil-minded or fool ish persons raised a cry of " they are coming !" ig they are coming !" alluding, it is presumed, to the mili tary. The people, taking the shout in this sense, were thrown into great confusion, and many were hurt by falling over each other, in their hurry to get out of the way of the imagined danger. The alarm, it need not be said, was altogether groundless. There is a detachment of military in this neighbourhood, but there was happily no occasion whatever for their' services. Some persons who were very busy in aug menting the confusion were taken into custody by the constables in attendance, and conveyed to Rochdale. There is to be, as we understand, a Public Meet ing for Reform, at no very distant period, at Oxford; and Mr. liukrr, it is said, will be invited to attend. A Meeting is also projected for Westminster, by the same parties who took the lead in the late Smith field Meeting. A Fentale Union Society is now forming in the Metropolis itself! We know not by what epithet to characterise so foolish a proceeding. Let women, as they ought to do, attend to the domestic concerns of their families, and instill into the minds of their chil dren those principles which may best qualify them to become useful and virtuous members of society. This is to begin the cause of Reform at the right end; for without the culture of private and domestic virtues, there can be no real patriotism. Every spe cies of public virtue resting on any other basis, is spurious and dangerous! WILTSHIRE COUNTY ELECTION.—State OF the Poll: NIXTU DAY—Mr. Benett 97 Mr. Astley 95--Majority 2.

Our Readers are aware that the Chamber of De puties of Bavaria have set their faces against the de mand of the Ministry of the Army, for what they consider an excessive sum for the Army Establish ment, and have expressed their disap - probation of any portion of the privy purse being applied to this pur pose. As the conduct of the Bavarians excites at this moment unusual interest throughout Germany, we have, in our columns this day, givenit Report of the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies on the 9th instant. It is rather remarkable that Bavaria,. which about twenty years ago was almost proverbial for bigotry, ignorance, and stupidity, should now occupy so prominent a station in the march of Ger many towards the establishment of Representative Constitutions. In no State is education more gene ral, and a more rapid career of improvement going on. The inhabitants are'distinguished for their Jibe► rality of sentiment, and Munich, the capital, is now pointed to by Germans as the Athens of Germany. The cause of the Bavarian people is the cause of all Germans. The triumphs of the Bavarian Chamber of Deputies will be felt at Berlin as intensely as at Munich. It is impossible, we think, that Prussia can continue in thraldom, while Bavaria is free. General SARAZIN, on his late trial, said he did not expect that the damages would be laid at 100,000 francs; " But were the sum much less," said he, " it would come to the same thing ; for at this mo-' mer►t I possess nothing but what I wear, together with a few books ; and I may say with SIMONIDES (he meant BrAs)-49innia nievunaporto On the morning of the 21st instant, a wing of the offices at Kilkerran, Ayrshire, was discovered to be on fire, consisting of dairy, brewhouso, and servants* rooms above. The fire was fortunately confined to this wing, which is entirely burnt to the givund. NAVAL INTETAIGENCE: . The Regent, from China, is arrifed off Weymouth.

STEAM NAVIGATION. DUBLIN, JULY 23. Yesterday evening we received the London Jour nals of Tuesday by the Talbot steam packet, which arrived at Howth, full of passengers, after a quick passage across the Channel. The Talbot sailed last' night from Howth for Holyhead, and we may there fore expect her arrival in Howth this evening with , the London Papers of Wednesday. The regularity and dispatch with which that vessel makes her pas sage, clearly establishes her superiority over sail ves- 1 se s, and, indeed, we received the London Prints ofl Monday by the regular packet only three hours be r* - To we received th ose of Tuesday by the Talbot.— Dublin Journal. • LINES TO THE MEMORY OF PROFESSOR PLAYFAIR. Weep, weep, Edina, for thy classic town Has lost the jewel that adorn'd iti crown ; The glorious likeness of th' Athenian sage, Undimm'd by years, and unalloy'd by age ; Whose gentle wit, and wisdom not severe, Could charm his country, and his name endear; The star of science, whose delightful flame Shone in the zenith, at the height of fame, Ennobling life through all its useful years, And, falling, follew'd by a flood of tears. Tho' years and honours both our fav'rite bore, Nor Fame nor Nature could demand for snore; The life had answeed all its noble ends, tet PLATEAU& never could survive his friends ! Aberdeen, July 24, 1819. AU those who value genius, or, what may be more to many, their own amusement, will learn with ex treme regret, that WALTER SCOTT now lies on a sick bed, in Scotland. 15RURY-LA NE THEATRE.—The Drury-lane Theatre Loan still stands in need of a sum exceeding £2,000 to be completed, and without that small sum all the efforts of the Sub-Committee, the concessions on the part of the Creditors, and the liberality of the Public, will be unavailing ; for it is one of the conditions of the Loan, that nothing detinitiye shall take place, until the whole 1225,000 is subscribed. The recital of this fact will, we are persuaded, arouse the feel ings of those Gentlemen who are favourable to the continuance of Old Drury ; and we trust that before Saturday we shall have to insert a list of names com pleting the Subscription Loan, and thereby mainly contributing to the restoration of the Theatre. Although Mr. ELLISTON'S offer for Drury-Lane is considered the most eligible, the question of security is not yet settled. The Duke of GLOUCESTER and suite arrived at Sheerness yeiterday morning, in the Admiralty yacht, and landed at the Commissioners'-stairs, under a sa lute from his Majesty's ship NORTHUMBERLAND, and the batteries. His Royal Highness was received by a guard of honour from the 51st Light Infantry, by Commissioners the Honourable COURTENAY BOYLE, FRASER, and CUNNINGHAM; Captains Sir GEORGE SEYMOUR, K.B. WARREN, BROWN, NELSON, WY BORNE, R.N. the Officers of the Army, Navy, and the ordinary Officers of the Dock-yard. After par takiag of some refreshment at Commissioner Bonds, his Royal Highness was accompanied over the new and extensive works, with which he expressed him self much pleased, by Sir GEORGE WARRENDER and Admiral Sir CHARLES ROWLEY. His Royal Highness then embarked to visit his Majesty's ships How; of 1 110 pas, the NORTHUMBERLAND, and the ARIL; built on Mr. SEPPING'S plan, which he examined in the most minute manner. In the evening he returned on board the yacht, and proceeded to Chatham. THE ARMY. The 92d Regiment, consisting of 600 men, under the command of Major FERRIER, sailed from the Cove of Cork the 15th of April, and arrived at King ston, Jamaica, the 9th of June. Nine companies of the 80th Foot are now on the march from Carlisle to Glasgow, in three divisions ; and the last company of the 6th Foot are on their way to Edinburgh Castle. The first division of the Rifle Corps raised in Dub lin, for the service of New Granada, was to embark on Tuesday, under the command of Colonel GORE, and proceeds direct to St. Domingo, to act under the orders of General Count MACERONE, who proceeds from London in a few days, to take the command of the troops assembled there. THE HARVEST. The Wheat Harvest has begun very generally in all hilly parts of the country, which proves the great forwardness of this season, the Harvest Moon not having its commencement till the 20th of August.— ; The rains have rendered all the vegetable gardens more than usually prolific at this time of the year, and the pasture lands, which were often scorched by the, Sun in the Dog Star, now present a fair prospect of an after-grass, which will tend to keep hay at a mo derate price during the ensuing winter.—Fruit has been very abundant, and the dairy farms have never experienced a more beneficial season for Cheese, But ' ter, and Milk Every farmer may now realize the truth of Virgil's theme " Lac mihi non zstate novum non filler! desit !" The Wheat HarvesF, began yesterday at Herne Par sonage, and will be co4nenced in several other parts of that neighbourhood ere the close of the week. The Harvest is already commenced in the neigh bourhood of Truro. A field of Wheat, belonging to the Rev. Dr. RODD, of St. Just, has been cut;—and Mr. RICHARD STEVENS, of Tregue Mills, Crantock, comatiences reaping Barley this week. A small field of Barley, of half an acre, was cut down on Friday at Stonehouse, near Edinl?urgh. A field of fine Farley was cut down at Bogbain, near Tain, on the lfith inst. On the 10th instant part of a field of Barley was reaped on the estate of Lord DONZRAILE, and the grain was so fully matured, as to admit of beng ground and converted into bread, presents of which were made to several of his Lordship's friends, as a rarity at this early period of the season. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SWAFFHA M RACES. At Swaff barn Races on Thursday last, the Town Plate and County Members' Plate of £Sb each, were won by the Duke of Grafton's filly. On Friday the Ladies' Handicap Plate was won by Mr. Jones's December filly, and the County Gentlemen's Plate of se:lo,mA won by Major Wilson's Schidam. IRVINE RACES, THURSDAY, JULY 22.

DUBLIN, JULY 23. Tuesday there was in the Park one of the handsomest laces we have seen for some time • the horses were Mr. Wllaot's Lord Byron, Major Campbell's Idiza Mr. MlGuire's Mary Ann e , an d Mr. Bellingham's beautiful Arabian, Mary MlGitillicoddy. The race was for one hundred pounds, each Gentleman subscribed £25. The winner to give one-half to ihe poor widow of a wine merchant with eleven children. The horses were rode by tbeir respective owners, and at starting bets were considerably in fa.: your of Mr. Bellingham's Arabian; but after a most interesting race, during which there was scarcely a yard distance between the four horses, Mr. BPGuire came in first by half a head- After the race, Mrs. Billingham entertained at 'Woodville, a numerous party; a sumptuous dinner was served up under marquees. There was a number of elegant equipages on the ground (lu— ring the race. Mrs. Bellingham's was by far the handsomest. She sported four beautiful blood horses, out-riders, &c. akc. A number df young Ladies appeared on horseback ; altogether it was a gay scene, and such'as we could wish to see more frequently. SINGLE-STICK AND WRESTLING. - - An excellent match of Single-stick Playing and Wrestling (Hampshire gamesters against Wiltshire) took place at Winters low Hut on Wednesday se'noight, in pursuance of advertisement. Five men of the county of Hants, named Smith, Neal,Wheeler, Carter, and Bantem, proved to be good single-stick players, and each of them broke the head of his opponent in a most scientific and manly style. Their opponents were from Great Beilwin, In .Wilts. Smith, the Hampshire player, was a man of small suture, and obtained unlimited applause for breaking two heads (of the Bedwin party) and preserving his own unbrcken. The single stick prize (rive guineas) was of course awarded to the Hamp shire men. The contest was very hard for the wrestling prize of five guineas : it lay principally between Wiltshire men, and was ultimately awarded to them. A man named Morris Pope, from Great Bedwin, was turned handsomely by a Devonshire man named Sampson, but it was decided not to be a fall ; and Sampson was afterwards thrown by Dogherty, a man of the Bedwin party. The diversions of the day were conducted, by the Gentlemen who undertook their management, in a manner that gave the utmost satisfaction. The City donator threatens to exhibit himself round the Royal Exchange without his inexpressible:, if Omnium is not done at 10 per cent. premium during the present account, 'Now, as he is well own'to be a man who is tremblingly-alive to every - elirikof delicacy, and not long since threatened to di st himselfof some other necessary article of dress if It was not done at 5 per cent. premium, it is but fair to presume that he is certain of being again right in his prognostication ! However, as, in the mutability of human:affairs, matters may take a contrary turn, a wag ventures to suggest to him, that it might be prudent to doff his imitation of Yorick, and supply himself with a culotte•a-la-LinGuAm, that will fit tight at the knees! It would be an interesting fa mily picture, to see the great man in this costume, with his " pares nubile fratruin" for supporters, as sisted from the Exchange to St. Swithin's-lane. Ten per cent. discount will produce the picture! IRISH DECENCT.—A number of persons having been recently in the daily habit of bathing in the Grand Canal, Dublin, to the great offence of all the decent people of the neighbourhood, a complaint was made on the subject to Alderman ARCHER, who dis creetly ordered, that, to prevent in future the eyes of the innocent and modest from being insulted hy such exhibitions of nudity, the Police Officers should re pair to the Canal and—take away the clothes {y( the bathers ! Accordingly on Sunday se'nnight the Offi cers went to the Canal and brought away the clothes of a "great number" of persons then bathing, who were thus obliged to trot home naked ! ! ir, ll , II I 1 ! 1 i , 1 IT 111 I ' I , • t it •j 1 . 1 • • . • .* 4 • 1 I 1' • • r 14 i • r • 4 t t s . a g r , 4 '; 1 1! ; • If. • 1 ;I 1
