BY PRIVATE CONTRACT, SOUTHWARK MEETING. The Meeting of the Inhabitant Householders of this Borough, appointed for the purpose of taking into consideration the late occurrences at Manchester, was held yesterday. The selection of a convenient spot was found to be a matter of some difficulty, in asmuch as ancient usage prescribed, that the Town- Hall was the fittest place in which the Electors, con vened under the authority of their ancient Officer, the High-Bailiff, could assemble. The space in chided by this building, however, being utterly in adequate to such a purpose, it was deemed necessary that, after the proceedings should have been initiated, the entire discussion of the general subject should be adjourned to some more extended scene. It was an ticipated, that on such an occasion the most ample . space which could be obtained was desirable, but no spot within a distance compatible with a general at-1 tendance was easily found. Under these circum-1 stances, arrangements were made for conducting the business on the open ground immediately before the Town-Hall, as in the case of Elections ; and it was resolved, that a temporary Hustings, composed of one or two long carriages, should be constructed.— This plan, which was dictated by necessity, was pro ductive of some unavoidable inconvenience, and each speaker had successively to sustain numberless inter ruptions, arising from the vast thoroughfare on either side, and the vehicles of every description which, during the busy part of the day, never fail to occupy it. Several parties of the military passed through the town at different periods of the morning, whether accidentally or from design we know not. It may be proper, however, to state, that a company of Gre nadier Guards actually marched through the crowd while Sir Robert Wilson was addressing it. A party of Life-Guards were posted at the Brunswick Livery stables. • Daagistrates, and by clandestine arrangements so conducted, as to prevent the unfortunate victims from avoiding the ferocious malice and unmanly cruelty of the Yeomanry Cavalry, charged with the execution of au unlawful order. 4. That the blood shed upon this occasion demands that jus tice which Trial by Jury affords; and those who oppose such justice being granted, rendes themselves confederates of the ori ginal guilty parties. L. 'heat this Meeting sees with indignation the advisers of the Crown leave without inveatigatiou, approved th ese cr imin a l pro ceedings, an d: that they have moreover insidiously opposed im pediments to the prosecution of the offenders, by a refusal to grant " an immediate and effectual inquiry into the outrages that have ,been committed, and to cause the guilty perpetrators there of to be brought to signal and condiim punishment ;" and that they have thereby afforded another proof of their disposition to establish a Military Despotism. 6. That it appears to this Meeting the Ministers have, by such contluct, proved themselves unworthy a the confidence of the Regent ; and that the continuance: in office of the professed supporters of a system of military government, cruelty, and injustice, is fatal to the liberties of the country and safety of the People.

Orelio the favourite at cthe, these Races have appeared to be years, when compared with the crowd of , renthle, and the variety and extensiveness ;ee.inss. The first day there was but d it was with sate difficulty that a second uch, however, afforded the amateurs of this iacation, both Races being admirably con -1,,,re people present than might have been the scautiness of the Bill.of-fare for their day, it was almost as numerously at 7aars. Among those present we ols ..i..wrnitt's and Lord Ducts's families; the 111ENar LItrnMOTT, Hart. Sir WM. "R, %;.I'. Mr. Cairn, hl.l'. Mr. En- Ml'. &c. ficc. &c. ILt , VNI, a Coptain in the Army, started a th,• ,hford road, to go twenty miles in tineas. Ile went over a piece of d r:t &tried. He did the first four mike - crui ,is • the nett four minutes • match by three tecocds only. At one o'clock, the High-Bailiff; J. PRINSEP, Esq. took the Chair, accompanied by Sir ROBERT WIL SON, and several of the most respectable inhabitants of Southwark. rhe DEPUTY-BAILIFF then addressed the Gentle men present, and stated, that the Meeting had been convened, in pursuance of a Requisition signed by about 144) Householders of that Borough. In con formity to the wishes expressed by those individuals, the High Bailiff had consented to hold a Public Meeting on this occasion, for the purpose of consi dering the recent conduct of the Magistrates and Yeomanry Cavalry at Manchester. The HIGH BAILIFF observed, that the numbers, rank, and respectability of the Gentlemen, who had signed the Requisition, justified him, as he conceived, in lending his sanction to the present assemblage of Electors. He therefore relied upon their sense of propriety, and felt the utmost confidence that the' business of the day would be conducted with order and decorum. The high character of that populous and wealthy appendage to the Metropolis of En;- land would, he doubted not, be preserved in all its integrity. They would feel it incumbent on them to take no steps that should be calculated either to injure a good cause, or to countenance a bad one—(Ap plause).—Whatever proceeding they should think it necessary to adopt would be marked by a sacred re gard to the rights of property, and to the established institutions of the country. In these circumstances, he trusted that, whilst the Meeting expressed their feelings on the immediate subject before them, they would, at the same time, prove their fixed attach ment to the Laws and Constitution—(Applause). Mr. WatszaszoNE now rose to move that the Meeting should adjourn to the open air, on the ground that the Town-hall was too small to afford accom modation to the Electors wishing to be present. As he perceived that no individual was averse to this adjournment, he would take the liberty of thus pub licly applying to the High Bailiff, on behalf of the Gentlemen who attended with the view of publishing reports of their proceedings. It was desirable that such reports should be given with accuracy, and as the best means of attaining that object, he wished to suggest the propriety of affording to those who gave them, the utmost personal accommodation. If this were fairly done, all excuses for misrepresentation would be withdrawn, and a certain Evening Paper, pre-eminent in falsehood, a Paper which scarcely ever told truth, even by accident, would be left without the slightest pretext for its malevolent and injurious perversions of every thing that touched upon the lights or feelings of the People at large. He did not mean to reflect or cast any discredit on the Gentle• man who furnished reports to The Courier News paper, and who, probably, executed his task as ably, and with as much fidelity, as those connected with other prints. It was within the office, he had little doubt, that the work of garbling, of mutilating, of patching, and carving, was carried on, and care taken not only to omit or colour what had been said, but to insert what never had been said, nor even imagined. • The limit BAILIFF intimated that he had already given directions to this effect. The motion for an adjournment being put and carried, the thou BAILIFF descended, and took his station in front of the Hustings, formed as we have already described. At this moment, the concourse of people was immense, and the anxiety manifested by those more immediately surrounding the Hustings —an anxiety inflamed by the severe pressure under which they laboured—produced some confusion, and rendered a good deal of exertion necessary for the re storation of order and tranquillity. Mr. HALL, after a few minutes' puce, opened the business of the day, and explained the object for which they weie then assembled. It had been well stated on a former occasion, by one whose character they must all respect, that this object was wholly un• connected with political or party feelings. They were called together for the consideration and main tenance of a civil right, the existence of which was not denied even by the hireling Press, which had had the impudence toustify the conduct pursued at Man du.:*ter. They must have all heard of the dreadful outrages committed in that town under the direction of its Magistracy, and committed upon an indiscrimi nate multitude of persons, met together for a legal and constitutional purpose. if the right so to meet was, indeed, no longer enjoyed, they had all ceased to be freemen, and must look at each other only in the character of slaves. This was not the time for discussing the doctrine of Universal Suffrage, or for entering upon any argument as to Annual Parlia-- ments ; the only question was, whether Englishmen were not entitled to meet for the consideration of those subjects, and to frame such Petitions respecting them as they might think proper? Certainly he was not one disposed to embarrass the cause of Reform, by demanding such points unconditionally, and re fusing to accede to any other terms. The general opinion was in favour of that species of Reform e hich should limit the duration of Parliaments to the period of tkree years, and which - should extend the elective Assziehise to all householders. To this plan he cheer fully subscribed, and he hoped that those who now supported it would never relax their exertions till it should be accomplished—(Applause). Public opi nion on this subject had been making a rapid progress —a progress which promised shortly to be converted into a triumphant march, and which the conduct of the Manchester Authorities would certainly rather accelerate than retard—( Loud applause). They had only to adhere peaceably, but inflexibly, to the cause, in order to see it crowned with ultimate success. All, however, that they claimed on this occasion, was the continuance of those rights which their ancestors had enjoyed before them undisturbed, and which it was a duty they owed to themselves and posterity to uphold in as full a manner. If these rights were to be sur rendered, for what purpose had the country expended its blood and treasure during twenty-five years of sacrifices and privations? Was the final consequence of this lavish waste of our resources to be the loss of liberty, and their degradation into abject slaves of a Ministry, which was ever feeling the pulse of the coun try, with a view to ascertain how far it was prepared to receive the yoke of military despotism ? From the commencement of the revolutionary war with France, they had been always told by the partizans orGovern ment,th at it was undertaken to prevent the introduction of anarchy, and the annihilation of property amongst ourselves. Its object was always stated to be the maintenance of social order, and of our free Consti tution; and it was declared to be necessary that we should make a stand against French principles, if we wished to secure our liberties. These were the views held out to encourage them in submitting to burdens, the weight of which all severely felt, and which must probably continue to be felt with equal severity for half a century to come, under the best administra tion of public affairs. and she must fortunate concur. reace of circumstances. The war was terminated, but instead of having led to an extension or confir mation of their rights, the exercise of one, the most important of them all, had been interrupted by an armed force, and a peaceable assembly trampled on by the soldiery. It would be needless in him to con trast their situation now, with what it was at the commencement of that revolutionary war to which he had alluded. The difference was sensibly and universally felt, but the late outrages, sanctioned and approved by Government, rendered the transaction .till more gloomy. Was this the reward to which they had been taught to look forward—was this the promised indemnity for the past, and security for the future ? He was aware of the inconvenience which many of them were suffering by the crowded state of the Meeting, and should not detain them by any farther observations. They would have the satisfac tion of hearing their worthy Representative (Sir Ro bert Wilson), who, with his accustomed zeal for the general good, had come promptly forward to meet his Constituents. Ile should advert, therefore, only to one which appeared to him to call for explana don. He was reminded of it by a cry which he had just heard, of " Where is Mr. Calvert?" It would be desirable, in his opinion, that some answer should be giver to this question, because, had that Gentle man been present, he should have deemed it his duty to inquire, why he was not in the House of Com mons when the question of Parliamentary Reform was last under discussion? He should now content himself by regretting Mr. Calvert's absence, and should conclude-by expressing his sense of the obli gations which they were all under to the independent Press, in reference to this subject. Did the House of Commons, as now constituted, exercise its due controul over tke measures of the Government? When the Constitution invested the King with the prerogative of making war, it provided the means of restraining it within certain bounds. Our ances• tors imagined, that as the people were always to be resorted to for the means of supporting war, an un just or an unnecessary one could not be of long du ration. If the present House of Commons had faith fully represented the people, was it credible that they would last year have voted I:3,000,000 of additional taxes ?—(Cries of " No, no.") To revert, however, to the proceedings at Manchester, he must profess, that in his belief, the Magistrates had been influenced solely by a desire of kn . -ming their great prototype; that they were merely the agents of that Noble Lord, who had been well designated as the jailer-general of the country—(A lau g h ). Ile could not conceive that they would have had the temerity to perpetrat' such an outrage on the lives of their fellow - subject had they not - known that they should be support( by a Government, which, in its turn, felt assured support in a corrupt House of Commons—(Le avlause). Mr. HALL then submitted the following Resolutions: fibht it is le t right of th F ar ree d m o e ty n to meet maintain dis l cU T ss i rla t e i i t r i g s d th ev e ran ini c P es r , e9eriP taud these rights, to avoid becoming slaves, and thus render them selves unworthy of the privileges derived from their ancestors. 2. That it appears to this Meeting, a criminal, cruel, and artily outrage has been committed by the Magistrates and manry Cavalry of Manchester, on the 16th of August, against unoffending multitude, constitutionally and legally assembled. 3. That ibis outrage appears to have been premeditated by 8. That being reduced to this situation, this Meeting does recommend to all Counties, Cities, Boroughs, and Parishes, throughout the United Kingdom, to assembl e forthwith, and call aloud for the trial and punishment of those who shall-be proved to have inhumanly violated the laws ; to raise at the same time their united voices in favour of an immediate Reform in the Representative System; and to sustain "- Trial by Jury," as the only security left for their lives and properties. 9. That it appears to this Meeting that an Union amongst all the Friends of British Liberty, and of a jest and mild Govern ment, is more titan ever necessary; and that it is the duty of every man who is actuated by these principles and feelings to promote such concert. 10. That a Subscription be opened, and that George Wether stone, Esq. be Treasurer ; and that, when the same it closed, the amount be paid over to Sir. Robert Wilson, who is requested to attend to the proper distribution thereof, in conjunction with the Westminster Committee; and that Sir Robert Wilson, Messrs. Wetherstonc, Davies, Lee, Cooper, Black, Gillies, and Ault, be a Committee to carry this Resolution into effect, and that they have power to add to their numbers. Mr. WETHERSTONE seconded the Resolutions, and 'observed, that the Ministers of the Crown had thought proper to make common cause with the au thors of the bloody outrages at Manchester. Their language and declarations seemed to out-herod Herod. The motives of the . friends to Reform had: • been calumniated, and their characters defamed, only because they claimed what they considered to their rights. Those rights, he trusted, they would, nevertheless, continue to claim with unabated spirit and perseverance. The examination of Mr. Hunt, t!..(44-0-rhe Magistrates at Manchester . , and the ro. roner's Inquest on the body of poor Lees, were, of themselves, sufficient to establish - the netessity of .a Reform. - (It was at this moment that a company cf the Guards marched through the centre of the crowd; the circumstance evidently excited a strong momen tary sensation of displeasure ; but a tacit sign or two from the Hustings had all the effect of the most pru dential suggestion, and the feeling quietly subsided.) He had but a few words more to address to them., They were reproached by the Government Prints with aiming at a Revolution. For his own part, he knew not what he could gain by'such an event, whilst he might lose the fruits of 22 years of successful labour and enterprise. Pit the object of these c lumniators was to goad the people from misery to madness, and thus furnish a pretext for slaughtering them. He had never heard of a Revolution in any country that was not brought about by the wined.' ness of its Government ; and should such an event take place in England, it would be owing to the same cause—(Shouts tf applause).—He would trespass on their attention no longer ; their excellent Represen tative would enter into more copious details, and harrow up their feelings by his exposition of this subject—(Some laughter, mingled with approbation). He should merely add, that if there were any pre sent who had not yet read Mr. Pearson's letter to his Constituents, they could not, in his opinion, read a more instructive document with regard to the facts and real merits of this question. Sir ROBERT Witsom next presented himself, amidst the unanimous cheers of the assembled multitude, and addressed the Meeting as follows Gentlemen, if it were possible to suppose that the circumstances which have thus made it the imperative duty of the Electors of Southwark constitutionally to assemble, could be commented upon witlviut exciting our feel ings to the highest degree, British blood• would not flow in our veins—( /hear, hear.) Under circum stances of a similar character, an ancient people, pe culiarly jealous of their rights as freemen, would, a'c , cording to their customs, have appeared in their mourning habits. Although such has not been the usage of the people of this country, I have no doubt you present yourselves here, though not in the suits of woe, yet with that mourning in your hearts, which passeth spew.—(tear, hear.) But while it is impossible not to feel the language of passion in describing the outrages of Manchester, you will con sider it your duty to use that language which four deliberate judgment shall hereafter sanction; so that the decision of this d'Ny will be such as your con sciences *ill approve in your calmest hours, and to . this d. 01114.1 11 4 /1. ......mekwy the latest periciki of your lives.
