A Meeting of the Freeholders and Inhabitants of Cornwall, which was most numerously and respeca tably attended, was held at Bodmin, on Tuesday last.—.E. W. W. PENDARVES, Esq. in the Chair. E. J. GL YNN , Es 3. said, the object of those who signed the Requisition to the Sheriff was to vindi cate the insulted laws of their country, and to ob tain an inquiry into what appeared to be a wanton effusion of English blood. Should such a Requisi tion have provoked these observations and reproaches of imprudence, and of an intention to inflame popu lar discontent, which were contained in a Declaration put forth by those who were opposed to calling the County together on the present mamentous occasion? Was not the mysterious ambiguity of the anonymous Requisition, calling together a particular descrip tion of persons, on the Bth instant, more calculated to provoke discontent and jealousy, than the holding such a Meeting as that he addressed? Mr. Glynn concluded by moving a series of Resolutions. J. B. TREVANION, Esq. seconded the Resolutions. The case, he said, they had to consider, was not one] of oppressive taxation; it was not a case in which they were called on to condemn wild and impracti cable political theories, but it was one that affected the vital parts of the Constitution, and involved the very existence of their rights and liberties. The pre sent crisis had arisen from the unfortunate circum stances of the times, and the apathy of the natural leaders of the people, which had given to ambitious individuals a factitious influence over those who were abandoned to their direction. It was unnecessary for himself, his friends, and the present Meeting, to disclaim all connexions with these persons, or with their views or designs. The first ten Resolutions were put from the Chair, and passed unanimously. WILLIAM PETER, Esq. rose to move an Address to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, founded on the Resolutions which had been just adopted. He congratulated his friends and his country on the ap pearance of the Meeting—on the presence of so many 64 faithful Cornishmen," faithful, not in the perverted sense of the word, as used by their political oppo nents—not by subserviency to bigotted faction or corrupt power, hut faithful to the cause of freedom, justice, and order—faithful to the laws and institu tions of their fathers—( Loud applauses).—His honourable friends who had preceded him, in their 'eloquent and truly English addresses on that day, lbad dwelt on the importance of the question before them. It was one, indeed, of vital importance; it was, whether or not a military despotism should be established on the ruins of our civil Constitution?— 'This was the question at issue between his Majesty's Ministers and the People. If an assembly of Eng lishmen, legally convened for the consideration of real, or even fancied grievances, was to be dispersed with the edge of the sword, and the perpetrators and abettors of such apparent outrage were to render no satii•factory explanation of their conduct, there was an end to the laws and liberties of England. The fate of Manchester to-day might be the fate of York shire or Cornwall 0-morrow, until the whole of this once mighty and glorious Nation should be at length reduced to a level with the slaves of Germany and Spain, without consolation or hope, and with the sense of its misery and degradation, aggravated by remembrances of former freedom and former great ness—( Applause).—Whether Parliament will at length interfere to redress our wrongs—whether it will promote by its authority such an inquiry into the late lamentable transactions as shall at once sa tisfy the ends of justice, and allay the irritation of the people ; or whether, forgetting its high purposes, it will league with the oppressor, and aggravate the wounds which have been already afflicted on the Constitution, it is useless to anticipate. But, what ever may be the event—whether we are henceforward to meet as freemen, or to mourn in silence over the liberties we have in vain struggled to preserve, we shall at least find some consolation in reflecting, that we have done our duty—that we have stood, like Englishmen, at our posts—raising, to the last, our voices in support of the Constitution— " The first, the foremost to obey the laws, " The last to brook oppression !"—( Loud arplause). Mr. Peter concluded by reading the proposed Address. The Rev. Mr. WALICICR seconded the Address. The occurrences at Manchester were, he observed, of so alarming a nature, in a constitutional point of view, that they imperiously demanded a solemn and public inquiry. The Address was then put from the Chair, and carried unanimously. J. C. RASMLELOH, Esq. congratulated the Meeting that Cornwall had now joined the rest of England, in calling for an inquiry into these dreadful events; and be the event what it might, they would retire to their pillows with the consciousness that they had done all in their power, to transmit, unimpaired, to their posterity, those Constitutional Rights they had derived from their ancestors—( Cheers). Neither he nor his honourable friends were the advocates of An nual Parliaments or Universal Suffrage; the latter he conceived to be as false in theory, as it would be in jurious in practice. He was no friend to Mr. Hunt or his proceedings; but if he was the friend of that person, he should rejoice at the plan pursued by Mi nisters, as that which was peculiarly calculated to further his objects. It was distress and coercion that had given birth to these doctrines. The cause of the Stuarts in Scotland, owed more to the massacre at Glencoe, and other severities, than to any abstract ( love of hereditary right. If they were charged with making common cause with Mr. Hunt, they happen ed to be in good company ; they were united with the Duke of Norfolk, the Duke of Hamilton. Earl Fitzwiltiam, and others of the proudest names in England—(Chart). In the dAys of their fathers, when Mr. Wilkes had resisted general warrants, even Lords Camden and Rockingham did not shrink from supporting him, because they felt that through •his side, Government had wounded the liberties of England ; nor were they deterred from defending the Constitution from a fear of being called the sup porters of a blasphemer and a buffoon.—(Applouse). He concluded hy moving the 11th , 12th, ISM, and 14th Resolutions. GEORG! CALL, Esq. seconded the Resolutions, which were put, and carried unanimously, as were all . the other motions. The Rev. Mr. /locum junior, moved the Thanks of the Meeting to the Magistrates, who bad medal YORKSHIRE ADDRESS boom wither Benue!' a, ,wr any , teapersed upon tie subject. awe Mani - At a window in ilorsepool-street, is a paper with Radical Breakfast beset primed thereon.

As soon as Mr. Justice Bast entered the Court, the ATTORNEY and (31.1CITOR-GENERAL appeared on the floor and took the oaths of allegiance, supre• macy, kc.

FREDERICK AND NICHOL WOOF. The Defendants were brought up for judgment, having been found guilty, at the last Hereford Assize, of an assault on Mr. Peter Taylor Walker, of the Tontine Office, for having used opprobrious words to Mr. Walker, with the acknowledged intention of pro. yoking him to fight a duel. Frederick Wood is a Lieutenant in the Army, and Nichol Wood, the Town Clerk of Cardiff, where the assault took place, at the last Election. _ _ Affidavits were put in by the defendants in est • nuation, on account of excessive provocation; Mr. Walker, having, on many occasions, aspersed U e character of their father by libellous hand-bills, &c. They also denied having used the expressions attli buted to them. Several other Affidavits were put ;n Ito the same effect. - _ _ _ . ......_ ..... _ Mr. SCARLZTT rose to reply to the affidavits. CHIEF .tunes.—" Let the prosecutor file affida vits in answer to these charges, and then the Court will decide when the defendants shall be brought up for judgment." 'Monday, at a Meeting, held at the Police Office, in Nottingham, presided by Mr. Alderman AsnweLL, it was resolved to apportion a part of Mapperiey. plains, for cultivation, for a period not exceeding five years, in order to give employment to those who are now destitute of work. The hurricane, at Tortola, on the 21st and 22d of September, was dreadful.. About 100 persons pe rished, and property to the amount of £400,000 h. s been destroyed. The President of the Island, not withstanding his being confined to his bel from very severe bruises, suffering, too, under the severe afilic tion of the loss of his wife during the storm, and whose own life was despaired of when brought to town, called together the Council to represent the deplorable state of the Colony to the proper Autho rities. It is impossible to acknowledge, in adequate terms, bow much this country is indebted to his Ex cellency Governor MAXWELL, for his promptness in affording all the aid he could, by opening the ports for six months for lumber and provisions from the United States, &c. Those persons who adventured in the present Lot tery previous to Lord Mayor's Day, 9th November, would do well to examine their Numbers, as every Ticket or Share bought before that day has been drawr , and its fate finally decided. They obtained Two Prizes of £20,000, and sundry minor Capitals, all of which were distributed in small Sharts to the Public. Those persons who obtained small Prizes (there were none lower than Sixteen Pounds Money) are advised to follow up their success ; and 'those who were un fortunate are solicited to tempt Dame Fortune on the next day, when she may be more. propitious to their wishes, as the Wheel' still contains Six Prizes of £20,000, and various other Capitals, all ?fwhich mcy be drawn Next Day, 9th December, and Two of 20,0001. must be drawn that Day, in the, rst 5 minutes: CORN-EXCHANGE" MAka-Laies, NovtMaz* 29.

The Address to the Prince Regent was signed by a great number of persons. About five o'clock, upwards of one hundred per sons dined together at the King's Arms; E. J. Glynn, Esq. was in the Chair. The health, of Sir William Lemon was drank with three times three. On the health of Mr. Rashleigh being drank, that Gentleman addressed the company in an animated speech, in which he stated the motives by which himself and his friends felt themselves bound to obey the call made on them for convening the County, and ani madverted on the manner in which the signatures affixed to the Declaration of the'Borough-patrons and their supporters were arranged under the dif ferent Boroughs, so that they enabled all England to judge how their party was formed. He concluded by proposing the health of their Chairman, the son of that sound patriot and able lawyer, Mr. Serjeant Glynn, which was received with loud applause. The different Gentlemen present addressed the company, on their healths being drank. The company sepa 7 rated at an early hour, highly gratified with the pro ceedings of the day. UPPER WARD If LAN ARKSHIRE MEETING. LANARK, NOVEMBER 23. The inhabitants of this place have to-day been amused with the spectacle of a Procession of Radical Reformers, on their way to and from the Race Course, where a Meeting was some time ago adver- , tised to be held. The number that passed through the town in procession, consisting of spectators from the adjacent villages, as well as of those who be. longed to Lanark, might amount to between two and three thousand. They were attended with drums and fifes, and carried four standards. Two of the stan dards were white, another red, and a fourth white, surrounded with black crape, bearing the inscription, " We mourn for the sufferers at Manchester"—" No Corn Bill." On the flags were specimens of the Ra dical slogan; such as, " Let us unite in a good cause," " The sons of Britain never shall be slaves," &c. ecc. Besides those who were accompanied by the flags and music to the place of meeting, there were many who attended as Radicals who did not choose to ap pear in the Procession, but walked out in parties of four and• five. Altogether, the Meeting might con sist of somewhat less than three thousand, and of these about one-half appeared to be mere spectators. A person, by trade a weaver, having been elected Chairman by a shew of hands, addressed them on the evils of the times, the abuses of the Constitution, and the remedies necessary•for Reform. He expa tiated upon the original and increased price of to bacco, tea, and coffee. He stigmatised the Corn Bill as having been hatched in hell, and carried into m ention by the agents of Satan on earth! He was fol lowed by several others, all in the same strain ; one of whom said, that if our ancestors had been used in the manner that we are at the present day, the fields of Scotland would have been dyed in blood ; that they (the Radicals) were determined to reduce the Constitution to its original purity, though the heaths of their Country should smoke with their blood in' the struggle. After exhausting their rhetoric in general declamation, they_ proceeded to stigmatize those who were obnoxious to them, and to pass votes of Thanks on those who had shewn them favour. The Meeting next proceeded to the passing of the Resolutions of Reform, which were of the same na-. ture as those at other Radical Meetings, and need not be detailed. Mr. COBEITT gave, on Friday, a public reception, in Clayton-square, Liverpool, to the Deputies from Manchester and its neighbourhood who had been ap pointed to wait on him with an Address of Congra tulation. A crowd of about 3,000 persons collected to witness the ceremony. After the Address was read, Mr. COBBETT replied to it in a speech of about half an hour in length. The tone of it was mild and conciliating. He earnestly recommended a peaceable and patient deportment on the part of the People ; he spoke of the necessity of a Radi cal Reform in Parliament, and declared, that having watched the conduct of the Rulers of all States, and studied the forms of their Governments—it was his decided conviction, that that of England, consisting of King, Lords, and Commons, with a People fairly represented, was the best which could possibly be' devised, and no other would he advocate, or wish to see established. The following is an extract ffom the Petition of cer tain Merchants, Manufacturers, and others, Inhabi tants of Manchester, to the House of Commons, pub - Bated in the Manchester Gazette of Saturday. After describing the arrest of Mr. Hum., it thus proceeds : " That the corps of the Manchester Yeomanry, together with the regiment of Cheshire Yeomanry, and a body of the 15th Hussars, both of which had by this time come upon the field, I did then charge upon the People in all directions, and to a great distance from the place of Meeting: in consequence of which eight persons have lost their lives, and not less than 400 or 500 of his Majesty's loyal, though suffering subjects, including all ages, from old men and women of 75, to young boys and girls of 14, were grievottsly crdshed, trampled upon, bruised, maim ed, or sabred.
