S i te—lf as Eriglishmen we possess patriotism and humanity at heart, and bestow (as is our duty) the best attention to the present situation of our country, and to the misery which now pervades the lower, and too mail) , of the middling classes of our society, their I believe it impossible for us not to see the necessity; there has been for exposing certain facts, through the medium of the .public Press, which, by serving as the constant guardian of our general interests, acts as a monitor to those entrusted with the public weal. While complicated misfortunes assail our country, it is also impossible that men possessed of feeling should remain silent, while the Courier, by its mean, cruel, and cowardly invectives, endeavours to set us (For very evident motives) against our own suffering countrymen and fellow Christians. Such a-tifice, however, is too shallow not to be seen through by every thinking person ; and by such a line of conduct, has done more injury to the cause it pretends to up- I hold, than it is aware of ; for false assertions and scurrilous language will never obtain proselytes for a cause thus advocated : nor will it frighten men of comiton sense into obedience or veneration ; but, on the contrary, ever awakens suspicion and creates contempt. And, as Englishmen ought ever to be alive to their privileges and rights, so ought they to recollect, that by concord and unanimity those blessings are to be maintained ; but more especially by a eealous and disinterested' patriotism on the part of every indivi• :dual who has the teal welfare of his King and Conn try at heart.—l have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, August Q,1819.

The number of persons pre sent were variously estimated; at from five to ten thousand. A person of the name of Myrenem. opened the business of the Meeting, and after a short preface, proposed that Mr. WILLAN should take the Chair, which being seconded, was carried by acclama tion. The principal speakers were WILL AN, of Dews bury; MASON, of Leeds; MITCHELL, JACIESON, and a number of others belonging to the itinerant squad o Reformers. Their Speeches and Resolutions savour so much of that sameness that has marked the pro• ceedings at the other Meetings, that I have not thought it necessary to copy them for you, though the whole are now before me. There is certainly much system and concert among the Refot mers throughout the Kingdom; but my firm opinion is, that these frequent Meetings, instead of pmmoting the cause of Reform, only tend to put it off to a more remote period. MEETING OF THE COUNTY OF AYR FOR THE RELIEF OF THE POOR. The Meeting of this County, which was held at Ayr on Friday last, for the purpose of relieving the distresses of the unemployed operative Manufac turers, was numerously and respectably attended ; and as many of the people were present in whose be half the Meeting was called, it .must have been highly gratifying to them to witness the sympathy that was discovered for their sufferings , and the anxiety that was felt to afford them assistance. The Earl of EOLINTON*; though the state of his health Prevented him fmm presiding personally in so crowded an as sembly, came to town for the purpose of giving all the countenance ia his power to so humane a cause, and to confer with the Gentlemen by whom Abe pro ceedings were directed. The business of the day was opened by Mr. Oswald), of Auchincruive, who strongly urged the propriety of something being im mediately done for the relief of the sufferers, by pro moting a general subscription throughout the dif ferent parishes, as he did not think that the law an thorised them to have recourse to a county assess runt; and he concluded by proposing. nearly in substance, the Resolutions which were adopted. —A number of very able and interesting speeches were delivered on the occasion. It appeared : that several Gentlemen were employing labourers to a great extent, for the avowed object of affording theist subsistence, and it was strongly recommended to others to imitate their example, A very satisfactory intimation was made, by a Gentleman who had the best means of procuring information.owtheaubject. that the principal Manufacturers in Glisgaiv enter, *nod the conviction that the present pressure would • ve in a great measure temporaryi.and &sit they • f reason to believe that trade would ve7.sesai•es- Oreence a consideral*revivalf. : *Am& °thee MIT * aims made on the occasion, it was very judiciously • ted, that there wet!'" numerous class of fenailes, Whose subsistence depended on the weaving trade, who, of course, were also suffering from. *rain of Work, and, therefore, that they shbuld not"be over- Ooked in the measures of relief that the M I lisight adopt. We think it proper to take nott t:4 'the following incident, which occurred in the because we deem it highly creditahloto the 1- Phil; .of independence which it discovered—a feeling 'for which our Scottish labourers and mechanics have been long characterised, but whiff we fear has been of late very inuh on the decline. One of the Gen tlemen, in concluding his speech, alluding very elm 4uently to this feeling, observed, that he felt a pride in the consciousness that his countrymen, poor as they Might be, spurned the idea of being beggars—that they did not now petition charity in the way of alms, but only that they might be furnished with the 'means of earning their bread by their honest industry. This seemed to accord so forcibly with the feelings of the crowd of mechanics who were present, that it was received, as if by a kind of instinctive impulse, with a general cheer of approbation. It is but justi at the same time to say, that the same feeling seemed: to pervade the whole tenonr of their petitions, which; from one or two specimens that were read, wet** drawn up in a style highly respectful and becoming. We are proud to observe so laudable a spirit disco. tiered by the landed proprietors and others in Scot land, in entering so warmly into the existing hatrl ships of the poor, which has been one great cause of tipping down sedition among them ; but while wri fay this, we cannot help at the same time expressing our regret and surprise at the apathy and indifference in tiff's- matter discovered by the higher ranks in Env 'tansi e where the hardships of the operative classes ati Treater still than among ourselves. There is now every prospect of the Public speedily enjoying the advantage of a good and level road from Ayr and Kilmarnock to Paisley. On some points of this line of road, there have already been upward:Of 100 weavers n day employed in !trellis* hills, tilling ditches, breaking metal, and other ope rations of that nature; and liberal subscriptions in .aid of the public fluids have been made for that pur pose. The men work diligently and, faithfully at wages from li. to Is. 4d. a day ; and boys from 6d. to 10d. according to their a3e and ability. _ -- Cheshire Summer Assizes commenced yesterday at Chester ; before the Ron. eiIArtLES W 411111211, and the Hon.

The plain tiff was an imlkeeper at Shipton, ir. the county of Oxford ; and the - defendant a - gentleman of landed property in the neighbourhood, of the annual value of £1,809: he was also a married man, and the father of thirteen children, all living! The plaintiff and his wile bad lived very happily together, tit their happiness was ruined by the arts of the defendant.-- ; She was extremely beautiful: but not less virtuous. She had brought the plaintiff three children, the pledges of their chaste loves.
