This is the - day fixed for the two great Meetings in the North—one at York, and the other at Leeds, for the discussion of the late transactions at Manchester. At the York Meeting, the LORD MAYOR of YORK is to preside ; at Leeds, where the Meeting has been called by a body of the inhabitants, without the con currence of the Civil Authorities, some distinguished Reformer is expected to take the Chair.—A Ward Meeting on the same subject is also to be held this day, at two o'clock, in the Parish Church of Cripple gate, at which Alderman WOOD will preside. Similar Meetings are also announced for Notting ham and Birmingham, besides that in Southwark, of which our Readers are already apprised. The Meeting at Nottingham has been convened by the Mayor, ISAAC WOOLEY, Fsq. in consequence of a Requisition, signed by fifty-two of the most respect able inhabitants. It is to be held in the Guildhall, on Monday, the 27th instant. The Meeting at Birmingham, like that at Leeds, appears not to be sanctioned by the legal Authorit;es. " A Placard," says the Birmingham Paper received this morning, " has been plentifully fixed upon the walls of our town, calling a Meeting of the People for Thursday next, to condemn the conduct of the Magistrates and Yeomanry of Manchester, for the part they took," &c. At Hawick, a Requisition, very respectably sign ed, was presented on the 11th instant, to the Magi strates, requesting them " to call a Public Meeting of the Inhabitants, for the purpose of expressing their sen timents on the proceedings at the late Manchester Mas sacre ; a transaction, in their opinion, such as never before was recorded in the history of this country." The Magistrates after taking six days to consider of the request, returned an answer, declining to call the Meeting. A Meeting of the Requisitionists has therefore been called to fix a day and place, on their own authority, for a public assemblage of the in habitants. The Carlisle and Belfast Papers state, that it is also in agitation to call similar Meetings in thet! towns. At other places, where the public feeling is not buoyant enough to be called forth in this manner, subscriptions have been privately entered into for the relief of the sufferers at Manchester, and the prose cution to condign punishment of the authors of the enormities of the 16th of August. This has been done at Chichester, Kendal, and Hinckley; and we understand there are several other places where a like quiet but patriotic course is pursuing. In consequence of the recent disturbances at Paisley and Glasgow, orders were sent down to Portsmouth, on Saturday la , t, for the immediate dis patch of two Regiments of the garrison of that place to Scotland. The Ist Battalion of the Rifle Brigade 13th Regiment were accordingly immedi lbarked on board the LIFFEY frigate, HIND 'ar, Kinnersley Castle and Fox transports ; Ly-light yesterday morning the ships had for Leith. state of the popular feeling in the west of ' at the present moment, is such as to ren inforcement of the Military strength in that measure of most prudent precaution. The which we have received to-day, and which found in another part of our Paper, shew that alarming spirit of insubordination has got among the working classes, especially in and lasgow. A daring, and but too well con attempt was made on Wednesday, to renew less scenes which disgraced the streets of on Monday : the Civil Power was most insulted and abused ; the Riot Act was again to be read ; and it was only by the inter ' the Military, that a stop was put to farther and atrocity.

Last night, about nine o'clock, his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, accompanied by Sir BENJAMIkI BLOOMFIELD, arrived in his travelling barouche, at Admiral Sir GEORGE CAMPBELL'S, from Carlton house, to resume his aquatic excursions in the royal yacht, the ROYAL GEORGE, commanded by the Ho nourable CHARLES PAGET. His Royal Highness was received at the Admiraltphouse by the Com mander-in-Chief and Lady CAMPBELL, and soon after sat down to dinner with the gallant Admiral and his Lady, Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, Colonel THORN TON, and Admiral Sir EDMUND NAGLE. The reel!. tion of his Royal Highness on the part of the Mr i tary was confided to a guard of honour of the 13th Regiment, whilst the Civic reception was warmly expressive of loyal attachment to the person of his Royal Highness: the principal houses of the town were illuminated, and crowds of persons who had paraded the streets several hours, awaiting his arri val, welcomed him with hearty huzzas. The Admi ral's (Sir GEORGE CAMPBELL'S) and the Lieutenant- Governor's house formed a very conspicuous and pleasing appearance among the houses illuminated, each having the device of a crown and G. P. R. formed of brilliant variegated lamps. His Royal Highness slept at Sir GEORGE CAMPBELL'S. This morning, about ten o'clock, his Royal Highness, ac companied by Sir GEORGE CAMPBELL, preceded in another carriage by Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, and followed in retinue by Major-General Sir JAMES KErt/PT, G. C. B. our Lieutenant-Governor. Colonel Lord GREENOCK, Major HARRIS, Honourable Major GORE, A.D.C. Officers on the Staff of the South-west District, set off from the Admiralty-house to the Sally-port, where his Royal Highness alighted, amidst the hearty huzzas of an assemblage of persons, and, accompanied by Sir GEORGE CAMPBELL, embarked in the royal barge, with Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, Colonel THORNTO'N k Sir W. KEPPEL, and• Sir EDMUND NAGLE, and proceeded on board the ROYAL GEORGE yacht, at Spithead, steered by the Honourable Cap tain PAGET. General WILLIAMS, Royal Marines, Commissioner the Honourable Sir G. GnEY, and several other Officers, chiefs of Departments, received his Royal Highness at the Sally-port, to whom he irequently made a parting bow with the most respect ful condescension, as he passed to the barges The instant his .Royal' Highness had embarked, a royal salute was fired from the Platform-battery, and from Monckton-fort and so soon as the royal barge .had arrived within the waters of Spithead, the squadron appointed to attend on his Royal Highness, consist ing of the ROYAL GEORGE yacht, LIFFEY, HIND, CAMELION, BRISK, and LINNET, cutters, fired a simi lar salute. His Royal Highness reached the yacht in about twenty minutes ; when the Captains of the squadron proceeded on board to pay their respects to his Royal Highness, which being done, they re turned to their respective ships, and the ROYAL GEORGE, attended by the BRISK, Lirorrr, and CAmE LIOZAPCUtterS, proceeded on a cruize to the westward. The royal squadron will anchor at Cowes, after the day's cruize. His Royal Highness, we have much pleasure in saying, appears in perfect good health. He will not, we understand, prolong his present gay in the yacht more than ten days. .. THE EVENING. STAR. , translated from the English of Hoasotran, has been seized by the Police.

Yesterday the PRINCE REGENT resumed his sailing pursuits by embarking in his yacht, the ROYAL GEORGE, at Portsmouth, ,then proceeding to the Needles, and returning again at six o'clock, A. 2.1. to the yacht's moorings in Cowes Roadstead. His Royal Highness's stay will probably be eight or ten days, yacht sail ing having contributed much to the REGENT'S health as well as amusement. That beautiful Marine Villa, late Mr. MACKENZIE'S, near the Parade at West Cowes, 14s been purchased for his Royal High ness's occasional residence, the situation commanding a view of the Roadstead, and affording the greatest facility of embarkation. Friday, Sir GEORGE COCKBURN left town for Ports mouth, to attend on the PatNck REGENT. Sir HARRY CALVERT, ACISUIRIA-GeDerilt Of •SINI I Army, passed through Portshouth on Sunday for the Isle of Wight. Sir HARRY dined with Sir JAMES KEMPT, at the Lieutenant-Government-house. The AMBASSADOR from the NETHERLANDS left town on Saturday for North Cray, Kent, on a visit to Lord and Lady CASTLEREAGH. WM. CLIFFORD, Esq. arrived on Saturday, at Blake's Hotel, Jermyn-street, from a tour. Mrs. MITCHELL and family are arrived at their house in Charles street, Berkeley-square, from Chel tenham. Mr. MITCHELL has left Cheltenham for Weymouth. Friday se'nnight, about three o'clock, some mali cious persons broke several windows in the dwelling-, house of Mr. WHITEHEAD, Deputy Constable of Huddersfield. Hayti Gazettes to the 20th of July have arrived. The particulars of Sir Home POPHAM'S visit to CHRISTOPHE are minutely detailed in that of the 25th of May. No Monarch could have been received with greater state and ceremony than the arrival of the British Admiral called forth. The intended visit I was announced on the 4th of May, by Captain Cox, of the Shearwater, deputed for that purpose, and On the 16th Sir Home POPHAM landed at Cape Henry. He remained there six days. A division of the cul tivated lands was proposed to be made among the soldiers of CHRISTOPHI'S army. A Committee, con sisting of the principal Members of the State Colin. ' cil, had been appoi n t e d by t h e Ki ng , to cons i der the measure, and to superintend the appropriations. PAISLEY, SEPTEMISER le. EXTRACT OP A PRIVATE LETTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. ge On Monday, when the town was crowded with a vast concourse of very mischievous-looking people, young and old—when it was evident that no person whom any one of the crowd chose to mark out was safe—when the Riot Act was read, at one, and the few Cavalry preparing to act—at this time the Com missioners of Police, two respectable householders in each Ward, were desired to call together, .in their Wards, the well-disposed inhabitants, and arrange a place of rendezvous, where they might meet, if oc casion required, to aid in keeping the peace in their several districts. The result of a number of these Meetings is one of the most distressing of all the cir- 1 cumstances that have taken place. Instead of the householders frankly and manfully coming forward to aid the Civil Power, and co-operate with the Con stabulary and Military in repressing the riot, many, in the Wards I allude to, when assembled, insisted on first discussing the point—Who raised the riot? " Although mildly remonstrated with, that this was not the purpose for which they were met, but to arrange how they most effectually could aid in quel ling it, the friends to civil order insisting that, if our neighbour's house was on fire, it was not seasonable to discuss who had kindled, but to help rather to put out the fire. This and such reasoning satisfied but a few. Even individuals of the Reform Committee joined in pressing these views; but the majority hav ing made up their minds, founded on malicious cla mour, that the Magistrates had raised the riots by seizing the two flags carried by the corps who were returning to Glasgow on Saturday, and their em ploying the Baton-men (extra Constables), declined, to aid the Constables. They would not even allow any Constables to be with them, though it was pointed out as necessary, for appearance sake, to prevent the Cavalry from attacking them, as the latter had orders to disperse all assemblies, except of Constables. They chose rather to run that risk ; and to shew their ad vancement in the science of civil rule and manage ment, proposed to wait, each inhabitant within his own entry, and to rush out and act,against the mob as they appeared ; but no Baton-man who had acted on Saturday or Sunday, yea, though he laid aside his obnoxious insignia, could be admitted into these im partial, constitutional, discreet bands. Still they were willing to act alone, and sent this intimation to the Sheriff and Magistrates. It is needless to say, such proposals could not be acceded to. This is a descrip tion of a moderate Ward : others went farther ; some would act together in their streets, if the Constables were dismissed ; some insisted, I understand, on also sending away the Military ; others would act under the Sheriff in this way, but not under the Magistrates. Generally, much abuse was cast upon the Constables, although it is now found, after inquiry has been made, that these men (few in number, .I believe only about 100, or at most 120) did, at the imminent risk of their lives, make great; and in many instances effectual exertions to restore order, when a town, containing about 35,000 inhabitants, was in the hands of an outrageous mob, and not a soldier, but a re cruiting party or so, to aid. So great was their mo deration, that they suffered much from blows with stones ; and though a case might occur that a man thus provoked might use his baton a little more freely against determined opposition, I do not yet hear of any authenticated case of serious injury done to any by them. I am, however, happy to be able to assure you, that some other Wards viewed the call of the Ma gistrates to aid the constabulary, in a proper light, and the householders readily offered to assemble, and did assemble, in case of need ; but the Military and Constables were sufficient for the duty, one hundred and ten Infantry coming in before; dinner on Mon day. These districts, though they might differ indi vidually on political subjects, agreed, without discus sion, to be subject to the Civil Power, and act firmly for the preservation of their lives and property. These Wards contained more of the mercantile people and master manufacturers than the others. If Some people here have serious fears that the l eeaseless activity of What is styled Radical Reform, has been too successful in instilling into the minds of our reading operative population, a dislike to all the present order of things and a confident expectation that all the evils of .poverty, taxation, and dull trade, will be instantly removed by adopting the remedies these writers suggest. You will not be at a loss to see the effects of such sentiments continually pressed on the rising generation. Every lad of 12 to 18 years is able to discuss when and how he should obey the superior powers ; nay, to such practical lengths was this liberty carried during these few days, that some individuals were seen standing on the street or pave ment arguing with the Dragoons, who, with much care, were brandishing their sabres to terrify the ob stinate and to induce them to go home. Some after one or even two touches with the flat side of the sabre, continued insisting they had as good a right to be out as the Dragoons had. A third slap generally convinced these politicians to give up the point. The Cavalry or Infantry cut no person ; these scenes passed after the Riot Act was read, and all under stood the streets were to be cleared by the Military.
