Town yesterday, of which a full account is given in our columns this day, was, altogethes.the mostimposing spectacle we ever beheld. We sever before saw such multitudes assembled on any occasion. From Lon don to Islington and Holloway, every avenue was so crowded with the out-pouring torrents to miet him, that' it looked as if this mighty Leviathan of a.Cy had determined to disgorge its whole population.' Mr. Hoerr must have passed through not less than half a million of people in his route, besides the l countless numbers of well-dressed people that crowd ed the windows and roofs of the houses, waving handkerchiefs,. scarfs, &c. &c. as he passed along ; and—wonderful to record—all this passed ever with out any accident or the slightest indication to tumult or riot. The day was remarkably fine, and the ge neral hilarity was precisely that which may often be witnessed in • miniature—and only in miniature— ' 1 when people attend a popular fair. N. B. We had ' here no exercise of a power beyond the law 1 no Yeo manry sent in, to hack and hew the, unarmed multi• tulle of men, women, and children We mentioned some days ago that a body cif bene volent Gentlemen in Liverpool, had opened a Sub scription for the Benefit of the Sufferers at Manches ter, on the 16th ultimo, and had sent 'a Professional Gentleman to that plate to collect facts relative to the cases of sabring that had occurred there on that occasion. To-day we insert a letter from that Gen- tleman (Mr. Dasitsor4), corroboridng the statement given by Mr. Pamir-sop, in a letter published in the STAR of the Bth instant. Attempts have been made, by the advocates of bloodshed, to invalidate the truth' of the various accounts given in this and other Pa pets, of the atrocities transacted at Manchester, but their accuracy hai been established to the corn; plete conviction of every unprejudiced mind.— They have made a deep impression on the people of , this country—it is impossible they sit9eld ever be for gotten. We hope and trust, for the sake of the laws, which hitherto have been held in reverence by the people—for the sake 'of outraged justice and hums= nity, that the guilty may _yet be made to suffer for their crimes. The Authorities at. Manchester, in the proceedings with respect to the Warrants, and on this late Inquests, seem to set every principle of law and justice at defiance. It is a mockery to talk of the laws, when those to whom their administration is entrusted openly shew that they are totally regardless of them. The most acknowledged principles of English juris• prudence are set at nought by persons who are deter mined to chew they are above all law. This is not to be borne. If the mischief be not checked in time, there is no knowing the consequences to which it may give rise. If those who administer the laws openly trample on them, we cannot expect they will be observed by those who are to obey them.. We trust the people of property will see how deeply they are interested in preserving the feeling of respect for the laws unimpaired. The shock has been great, but by wise efforts, the evil may yet perhaps be re medied. We hope we shall never live to see the day when individuals shall no longer rely on the laws for the redress of their wrongs, and when the feeling of injustice shall league together bands of conspira t ors determined to take redress into their own hands. The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this forenoon. The Mmeitear contains the promotion of several more Artists to the dignity of Chevaliers of the Le gion of Honour—Laaasouas, the Optician; Bals ams, the Chronosnetemnaker ; Thavaiusr, the Pain ter; and Jamas:, the Engraver. A Report from the Royal Commission of Medi cine of the City of Cadiz fully establishes the fact of the yellbw fever having manifested itself in the town o f St. Ferdinand, in the Isle de Leon.

The chief object of the Speech is to explain the fundamental. principles of the project of a Constitution presented to the Con gress, and to spew that it was the best adapted to the country. He recommended the confirmation of the Liberty granted to the Slaves, without any restriction whatever; and a Law for the Division of the National Property amongst the Defenders of the Country. He likewise charged the Congress, in the most parti cular manner, to turn its serious attention to the funding of the National Debt, and providing means for Its speedy extinction. MANCHESTER, SEPTEMBER 12. Mr. PSARSON continues indefatigable in searching out the unfortunate objects who were wounded and mutilated by the sanguinary and intoxicated on the letia of Ansa*, had is hourly making fresh discoveries. Already nearly four hundred victims, tb brutal violence, are enrolled on his list, and, I make no doubt, by the tittle he has finished his labours, the unhappy victims will be found to amount to from i five to six hundred. The population here 'are ex tremely indignant at the escape of those whom they call , and openly vent their feeling% against , the Grand Jury, who threw out the Bills. • The muse of Reform has received a greater acces sion of strength, by the foolish, head-strong conduct of the Magistrates and Yeomanry here, within these few weeks, than it could have attained from the most strenuous exertions of its ablest advocates in an age. Mr. HUNT,. tab, is now looked upon with respect by many who formerly heM him in contempt. So much for persecution and unprovoked violence. Lam happy to inform you, that a material im provement in trade, has taken place here ; and the price of Cottons has, consequently, experienced a considerable advance. Sales have been brisk for the three last weeks. There has been a great de mand for the German and Continental markets, Should the amendment continue, we may hope that it will have a beneficial effect, and tend to tali* the irritated state of the popular feeling. LEEDS, SEPTEMBER 12. A Subscription has been opened here for the relief of those persons who were so shamefully wounded and mutilated at Manchester, by the wanton attack of the yeomanry Cavalry, on the 16th ultimo, and is likely to be liberally patronized, as all ranks execrate the conduct of the Manchester Magistrates and Yeomanry. Mr. 'HUNT, it is now positively stated, will take the Chair at the Meeting fox Reform, &c. to be held upon Hunslet Moor, on Monday, the 20th instant. , TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE STAR. i` ; ~' •, ~;,. ) • LIVERPOOL, SEPT. It. Sut.—Having been employed by the public-spi rited Gentlemen of this town to co-operate profession ally with Messrs. HARMER and PEARSON, in endea -vouring to bring the perpetrators of the late atroci ties at Manchester to condign punishment. I think it proper to address you on the subject of the letter lately published by my colleague, Mr. PEARSON. That part of the Press which manifests a disposition to palliate the crimes and to plead for the criminals connected with the at St. Peter's-field, affects, I perceive, to doubt the accuracy of Mr. PEAR solids statement. Therefore I feel it a duty which 1, owe to truth, to justice, and to my country, to de dare, through your respectable Journal, my know ledge of this important transaction. " For some time previous to Mr. Peaason's ar rival at Manchester, I was actively engaged in col- 1 lecting facts and arranging evidence, with a view to the prosecution of the real authors, and principal actors, on that melancholy occasion, which has filled England withhorror. Hence lam in possession of such information as authorises me to speak with con fidence on this subject ; and I have no hesitation in declaring, that Mr. PEARSON'S statement is perfectly well-founded. That this Gentleman, indeed, instead 1 1 of dealing in exaggeration, as appears to be imputed, has rather under-stated the case, will, I am con- I vinced, be fully demonstrated upon the first trial or investigation that affords opportunity for adducing 1 the evidence that has come to our knowledge, even since. the letter alluded to was published. What 1 feelings then can belong to the writers, whcs being, I must suppose, totally ignorant of the facts, pre sume to propagate unfounded assertions and over strained animadversions, which evidently tend, if they are not deliberately designed, to indispose good men to that system of exertion which is indispensably necessary in this case to vindicate the injured laws of humanity and England—to punish the perpetrators and abettors of N But I will at once tell those writers who seem to sympathise only with ; who would bury the victims of in oblivion, by proscribing all who dare even to nionrn their fate--that if any member of the Press who has reprobated, or who may . have the virtue to reprobate, the cowardly dared use town at ru. rennin= ca ae out ca tae Pale bloOd-shedders of Manchesuii- ,shoula be j indicted fOr ic' I liberty. of social intercourse for the present; and a cordon of a libel, and have only the common courage and ca- tsoo • ; an military posts has been formed around it, to prevent Latty th t: p detail res the facts wi l t ) ll ai which t w l o ri c ir furnish and also all ingress unlit for provisions.

FROM TUE OLISGOW CHRONICLE, SEPT. 11. We noticed in our last the return of the miscreant Spies to the West of Scotland. We dare say they will not be able to effect much. The poor people are fairly on their guard; and the least recommen dation of violence awakes their suspicion. One day last week a ma-dressed man, represent ing himself as a Delegate from Hull, called on a person connected with a Radical Reform Committee, and expressed a wish to establish a correspondence. He was told that, as they had no secrets, he would be introduced at a Meeting which was soon to be held. This was declined; and an appointment was m ide to meet in a Tavern in Glasgow on Sunday. The Reformer, however, did not find this Hull Delegate. It is perhaps proper to observe, that a notorious Spy frequented the Tavern in question. " Kilmarnock, 7th September, 1819. We, the Undersigned, do hereby testify, that a lad brought &man into our shop, on Monday, the 50th day of August last, slating he wished to converse with a member of the Committee for conducting Parliamentary Reform in this place; and his first words were,' that we had too many webs in the looms here.'— Next be said, he came to inform us of a Public Meeting the Paisley people were going to hold, and they would be glad of as many of their fheads from this place as could get attending and they would meet in Paisley in spite of all the forces that could be brought ag,inst them; and further, they are making pikes in Paisley, similar to those used in the late Irish rebellion.' Rut as we were ignorant of their particular construction, he or dered one of us to go and borrow a piece of chalk, with which he made a figure similar to the above. " lie said, that the bowl was to balance it in the hand. The knife needed to be very sharp to cut horses' bridles, and the hook to pull men from their hones, and, as a conclusion, the spear was to plunge into their bellies.' Also, 'it is hinted they are going to take Dumbarton Castle.' We said, 'that would be a difficult undertaking.' He said, 'it could be taken with tam brellas,jusi bore out the fogies eyes.' He said, 'heVras bound for Newattlns to see kis wife's friends there.' Said also, he served in America at the last war.' " He had the dialect of a Scotsman ; is from five feet five to five feet sit inches high, black complexioned, thin faced and lean, aged from ?0 to 40 years, had on a black coat and vest, with duk brown trowsers, and a green umbrella in his hand.

This fellow was so agitated and abrupt, that they were all at once suspicious of him, except William Thomson, who alone continued the story.” Extract of a Letter from a Glasgow Gentleman at .Hamburgh, dated 27th August, 1819 :—" You will likely hear of the riots between the Christians and Jews in this place, which are really serious. The Christian inhabitants of Hamburgh appear deter mined to take from the Jews much of the power they have acquired since the French times ; they ap pear even resolved to drive them entirely away from Hamburgh. These disturbances have continued since Heckscher s singular behaviour at Pyrmont was known here. This Heckscher, who is a very rich Jew banker at Hamburgh, you must have heard, was detected in stealing watches from a jeweller's shop.l The Jews did not venture upon the Exchange yesterday, and many were not there to-day.— All the respectable Jews have goner.° Altona to re side. The Senate have been compelled to put the town under martial law; and if six people are found on the streets together, after nine o'clock, they are liable to be fired at. These riots do not ap pear confined to Hamburgh, but seem general iss many of the German States. It looks as if the days of persecuting these now miserable crest. tures were not fully completed. You have had no opportunities of seeing Jews upon the Conti nent. Their appearance, and every circumstance con nected with their character, is the greatest proof that now exists of the authenticity of Sacred Writ." Extract of a private letter from Manchester, dated September 11 This forenoon some Police-Officers took a tin toy sword from a- child of four years and a half old, named Joseph Beaver, who was playing in the street ; some one came and told his mother / who was busy at work in the house ; she went out and repeatedly asked the man to give it her back ? but this he refused,' and finally struck her for perse vering in her demand. Her husband then came to them and took part with his wife, and the Officer struck bim too. Mr. Owen, a respectable trades man and neighbour, then came forward s and expos• tainted with the Officers on the unreasonableness and brutality of their conduct, and him they also struck. The Officers then called six soldiers to their assistance, and took the child's mother to the Guard-house, where she was detained about half an hour. Then she was taken to the New Bailey, and the child's father took the child thither also.-- The Officer then swore that this J. Beaver was not the person from whom he had taken the sword; but ,ose much larger and older, bein g ten or e l even years et age, having a paper cap on his head, like a cap of Another Officer corroborated this depot , and another or two were ready to do the same, . also that the woman had a brickbat in her hand strike the Officers with. The Magistrate then said lusband must enter into recognisance for her behaviour. John Beaver, uncle to the child, others, satisfied the Magistrate that the boy of and a half years old was the very person from the Officers had taken the tin sword ; and Mr. stated that he bad known the woman for many to have been a peaceable and respectable neigh. and that ofe of the Officers had actually struck twice, upon which Mrs. Beaver was ultimately discharged, having been in custody about four hours utmost anxiety, together with the loss of time husband, brother-in-law, and Mr. Owen."
