We allude to the proceedings of the Adjourned Coroner's In quest, held at Oldham, on the body of LEES. The conduct of Mr. FERRAND, the Coroner, was correct and impartial, and calculated to convince the Country that still there are men in that quarter who respect the laws which they are called upon to administer. The proceedings will be perused with interest by all our Readers. We wish, heartily, that we could bestow equal commendation on some other proceedings that have taken place in that quarter. We have never heard nor read any of the Rev. Mr. ETIIELSTONE'S sermons, but if they exhibit the same mild and placid spirit, the same benignity and spirit of mercy and patience by which some of his judicial oratory is distinguished, they must prove highly improving and edifying ! The Coroner's Inquest summoned on Friday by Mr. MILNE, to pronounce upon DALTON'S death, was adjourned for a week. Some striling circumstances attended the meeting of that Jury, and may be sus pected of having produced the otherwise strange de termination of the CORONER. Mr. HARMER teas there. The Report we give is worthy of attention. A good deal of anxiety is felt about the result of the proceedings at the Common Hall, on Wednesday next. That the Meeting will be a stormy one no body seems to doubt. We noticed on Saturday ( that the " only good men and true," had had a closet muster of their strength on Friday, at the London Tavern; and to-night we find, there is to be " an open and I'ublic Meeting," at the Globe Tavern, Of those who call themselves, and we believe do form, the major part of the Livery, and, who are deter mined " to defeat the premeditated attempt of a Secret Junta to deprive the Livery of their rights, and to degrade the City of London to the level of the rottenest Borough, of the most base and corrupt Boroughmongers." - It is not a little singular that a question of the very same nature as that which the LORD MAYOR and his friends intend, according to general rumour, to put to the test on Wednesday, led to the enact meat of that great bulwark of English liberty—the Habeas Corpus Act. At the election of Lord Mayor, in 1679, one FRANCIS JENKES, a Common Council man, insisted on entering into the consideration of certain public grievances, previous to going into the Election. Neither the Lord Mayor, nor the Sheriffs, nor the Recorder, nor the Common Serjeant presumed to tell him that he had no right to do so; and, with the approbation of the Livery, he went at length into the subject of the grievances of which he complained.-- His speech was one of great ability and modera tion ; but it appears that the ComMON-SERJEAST, get ting heated with wine after dining at the Mansion house, gave a most dismal representation, of its im port tb some members of the Government. The con sequence was, that JENKES was apprehended on a warrant issued by the Privy Council, of which the following is a copy : " Whereas it appears to his M; % jesty in Council, by the exami nation of Sir THOMAS GOULD, Sir Jouu SHOIT6I, Knights, She riff's of the City of London, Jouu WELLS, Common Crier of the said City, and Joint GREEN, one of the Attornies of the Lord Mayor's Court, taken upon oath before the Lord' Chief Justice, Rautsroan, that Francis Jenkcs, of the said City, Linen draper, did, on 24th of this Instant, June, at a Common Hall, then assembled at the Guildhall of the said City, for choosing Officers fur the ensuing year, in a most seditious and mutinous manner, openly move and stir the persons then present, that before they did go on to the choice of new Officers (which was the only occasion of that Assembly), they should go to the Lord Mayor, and desire him to call a Common Council, that might make an Address to his Majesty, in the name of the City, to call a new Parliament. And whereas the said Francis Jenkes, being now tailed in, and heard before his Majesty in Council, was so far from denying or extenuating his offence, that he did, in a pre 'sumptuous and arrogant manner, endeavour to justify the lame. 'these are, therefore, t, command you to take into your custody the body of the said Francis Jenkes, herewith sent you, and him to keep safely until he shall be delivered by doe course of law ; for which this shall he your warrant.—Dated at the Counci l (*Limber, in Whitehall, this 28th day of June, 1676.

J EN K ES made repeated efforts to be brought to trial, but without effect. lie was told by the LORD CHAN.. tatm.un, that lie might obtain his liberation ehe would make his submiasion in tke proper quarter, but that hie' wanted to get through with a high hand. This sturdy citiien would not, however, submit, and he was at length liberated, without being brought to trial—a clear and evident proof that he had committed no offence whatever against the laws of his country. [. The gross outrage to which the liberty of English men had been thus subjected in the person of JENKES, is allowed by all our Historians to have been the main cause which led to the i► troduction, shortly afterwards, of the Habeas Corpus Act. It will hardly be contended that the Livery of London have less freedom of discussion now than they had in the reign of CHARLES 11. and since it was pronounced an act of gross oppression then to punish a Liveryman for exerting his right of express ing his opinions in Common Hall duly assembled, we can scarcely bring ourselves to imagine that any Magistrate or Officer will dare, at the present day, to revive a pretension so long ago solemnly exploded. The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday have arrived since our last. The Duchess of BERRY and her young daughter, both, continue in the most satisfying state. It is said that the Ministers, mortified at the result of the late Elections, have it in contemplation to sub mit a Project of Law proposing certain changes in the Charter, on the opening'of the next Session of the Chambers. A traveller recently arrived from :Martinique, re ports that, the President BOYER, of Hayti, had mani fested an earnest desire to enter Into a Treaty with France. The yellow fever in the Isle of Leon is making most destructive progress. From the Ist to the 20th of August, 105 persons fell victims to it; from the 20th to the 51st the number of deaths was 545; and during the first four days of this month no less than Ib2 persons perished. Five per Cents, Thursday, with div. from 22d Sep tember, IslB, 71 fr. 30 c. A Flanders Mail arrived last night, and Dutch' and Hamburgh Mails this morning. Our limits per mit us only to notice the most prominent articles which they present. Accounts from Madrid mention, that the English Government has renewed its proposal to the Court of Spain, to obtain upon certain conditions, the ces sion of the Island of Cuba. The correspondence be tween London and Madrid is exttemely active at this moment, which seems to indicate that highly impor tant negotiations are on foot, but they are involved in mystery, and we must wait with patience till time shall discover the secret. From Strasburgh, the 17th instant, it is stated, that a great number of Jewish families had arrived within a tew days preceding at Haguenau and at Weissemburg, with the intention of seeking safety and protection in France.—The treatment which the . Jews now experience in various parts of Germany, is disgraceful to the age in which we live, and ought every where to be reprobated by a liberal and en lightened Press. The world will be grieved to hear that the veteran hero, Field-Marshal Prince &maga, paid the debt of nature on the 12th instant, at 19 minutes past ten o'clock, P.M. at his seat in Silesia. On account of this melancholy news, at Berlin, the KING issued orders that the whole Army should go into mourning for eight days. The KING visited the hero on his death-bed, and was much affected. He died in his 77th year. Saturday noon, the PRINCE REGENT landed at Portsmouth, from his pleasure yacht, and imme diately set off for Brighton, where his Royal High ness arrived the same evening, in excellent health and spirits. Last night his ROYAL HIGHNESS, accompa nied by Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, arrived at Carlton-House. The Prince LEOPOLD and suite spent the early part of Tuesday at Stirling ; arrived at Edinburgh on Wednesday afternoon, and in the evening went to the Theatre, accompanied by the LORD PROVOST, the LORD ADVOCATE, Lord ROBERT KERR, Admiral OTWAY, General HOPE, and Sir PATRICK WALKER. Tuesday the Duke of HAMILTON, the Duchess, their son, the now Marquis of DOUGLAS, and Lady SUSAN, their daughter, arrived at Hamilton Palace, for the first time since his Grace attained the title of Duke. _ _ -_ _ - BATH, SEPT. 24.--This day, about twelle o'clock, his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX arrtved,at our Guildhall, where he was received by the MAYOR, and the greater part of the Body Corporate, in their civic robes. Being ushered into the Banqueting room, G. H. Tortwatt, Esq. the Mayor, presented his Royal Highness with the Freedom of the ancient and loyal City of Bath, which had been unanimously voted by the MAYOR, Aldermen, and Common Council, in Common-Hall assembled. The Freedom was delivered to his Royal Highness in a Gold Bin, of exquisite workmanship. on the insidt of which the Bath Arms were admirably engraved; the out side was beautifully chased in coloured gold, the border displaying the rose, thistle, and shamrock.—. His Royal Highness then addressed the Corporation in a manner at once eloquent, affable, and dignified; duly appreciating the honour conferred on him, in thus enrolling his name among the Freemen of this ancient and loyal City. The Mayor then presented the Members'of the Corporation individually to his Royal Highness, to each of whom he spoke with the utmost politeness, attention, and affability. His Royal Highness has accepted the invitation of the Corporation to dinner at the Hall to-morrow. Bills of Exchange from London on Vienna direct, were drawn on Frtday for the first time. The inter ' course has, heretofore, been maintained through the '• medium either of Frankfort or of Hamburgh. N' ni3Lre MEE77NGS. MEETING NEAR MAXWELTOWN. ; On the 17th instant i a numerous and respectable Meeting was held upon the Corbelly Hill; near the Borough of Maxweltown, by Dumfries, to record their sentiments on the barbarous slaughter and maim ing of men, women, and children, at Manchester—to adopt measures fur their relief, and to consider the best means of providing for their own defence, in case the iron hand of despotism should reach so far. ,Mr. JOHN PATTERSON, innkeeper, Maxweltown, al though a Yeomanry Cavalry-man, was unanimously called to preside ; when Mr. Papas addressed the Meeting in nearly the following words: Getmestes--The duty imposed upon me, at this time, is both painful and pleasing. It is, in deed, truly painful when we cast our eves upon a neighbouring kingdom, and behold a peaceful and suffering multitude, met, as we are, to mourn over weir public afflictions, and supplicate the pity of their Rulers—to behold, I say, this peaceful multitude assailed and butchered by a merciless banditti, in stigated and directed by men of still less feeling-- But I turn from the melancholy theme to one of a more pleasing nature. It is extremely gratifying to behold, even in this retired corner of our island, so respectable and numerous a Meeting assembled, for the noble purpose of discussing our rights and privi leges, and of proclaiming aloud to the world, that, spite of the shuddering scenes that men of despotic views have brought to view at Manchester, Britons are yet free— yes, .nd I hope, we are ready to seal our freedom with our blood, if circumstances should call upon us to make the sacrifice." The following Resolutions were then read and ap proved: 1. Resolved—That a subscription be set on foot instantly. for the relief of those persons who suffered by the wanton brutality of the Manchester Yeomanry. 2. That Meetings shall be frequently held on this place, for the express purpose of consulting by what means we, as a free people, may avoid tyrannical oppression. S. That it is our wish that 311 Meetings may dismiss peaceably unless we are assaulted—then it is expected every man will exert himself in the ewe of Right and Freedom. The Meeting then peaceably dispersed. MEETING AT DRIGLINGTON. Wednesday last, a Meeting was held at Drigling ton, to promote a Radical Reform, and to censure the proceedings of the Manchester Magistrates. Mr. MASON, of Little-London, was called to the Chair, and the Meeting was addressed by Mr. WILLAN, of Dewsbury, and by a Mr. SMITHSON, who gave a minute detail of his escape from the most imminent danger, on the 16th of August, at Manchester.-- Music, flags, and females, were present, and height ened the effect. A subscription was made for the same purpose as that at Leeds, amounting to £2 4s. 2d. and non-consumption Resolutions were passed, • 1 M 4 ' I i~ . M 4~ HALIFAX, BRAMLEY, ROTHWELL, IDLE. Public Meetings, for the consideration of the late Manchester transactions, have been also announced to be held at each of these . places—at Halifax, on Mon day, the 4th October ; at Bramley, on Friday, the Ist October; at Bothwell, on Monday, October 11 ; and at Idle on the 4th October. CARLISLE, Ti.PTEMBER S. Yesterday the Reformers of this place presented a Requisition to the MAyott, requesting him to call a Meeting, in order that the Public might . have an op portunity of recording their sentiments on the catas trophe at Manchester, and the absolute necessity of Parliamentary Reform. His Worship informed the Deputation, that he .would return an answer this morning (Saturday).—ln the mean time, a Counter requisition has been agreed to by a considerable num ber of inhabitants, and is now in the course of signa ture. It is to the following effect : '• TO THE 111r0/SHIPPEL THE MAYOR OP CAELISLE. " We, the undersigned Inhabitants of the City of Carlisle, understanding that a Requisition has been signed and delivered to you, requesting you to call a Meeting, for the purpose of poli tical discussions, and being convinced, that such Meeting can be productive of no good, but only tend to promote those scenes of tumult and disorder which have lately occurred at Paisley and Glasgow, request you will not call any such Meeting," &c. The Ultra-Radicals of this place continue their drilling without interruption, and, indeed, in the most open and unreserved manner. On Sunday last, they were viewed by several persons from Carlisle, exer cising in the neighbourhood, and went through their evolutions, it is said, with a precision not to be exceeded by regular troops. It is said, that their strength here consists of three divisions of 800 men each, most of whom have seen service either Its Regu lars,. Militia, Marines, or Volunteers. A strict look out is kept at the Castle, where some thousand stand of arms are deposited, and a great quantity of ammu nition and military stores. YORK COUNTY MEETING. It is with infinite satisfaction we announce, that there is every probability of a Meeting of the County of York being speedily convened in the Castle-yard, to take into consideration the late proceedings at Manchester, a Requisition'to the HIGII,SHERIFF, to this effect, being in progress, which has been already signed by between twenty and thirty of the first men in the County. Among the Requisitionists are Lord Maw*, the Hon. LAWRENCE DiiNDAS, , Sir GEORGE CAYLEY, WALTCR FAWKES, Esq. &c. &c. and tb numbers are daily increasing. It is expected that Requisition will be presented to the Moil SnenL in the course of the ensuing week, and that the Meet. ing will be held about the middle of October.—Leed t s Met cu Miscrea G n l ts A cTi: t o tSoEPinfre Est kthboietelaEciato::l,o.li:ttrythed;'s,:di.est,:tt,ii.?.l ~.............% 'up the people to insurrection.
