AT a nuinersus and respectable MEETING, held at the Crown r.nd Anchor, in the Strand, on Monday, April id, 1220, J. HATDON, Esq. in the Chair, the fallowing Resolutions were passed unanimously : 1. That it Is the duty of the People to support the Friends of the People ; and neither to forsake them while under persecu ties, nor withhold liberal approbation for their meritorious exertions in the public cause. • 2. That it appears to this Meeting, that HENRY Huarr, Esc for courageously advocating the rights and interests of the People, has been grossly vilified by the venal part of the Public Press; and that the unfounded impressions thus created have been made accessory to a system of proscripsion against which he ought to be protected, by the voice and purse of every man whose prac- tices accord with his professions. 3. That, independently of the general merits of Mr. HUNT In conducting many great Public Meetings, held with a view to arouse public feeling in the great cause of Parliameetary Re form, he'has evinced,. in every situation in which be has been placed by the transactions at Manchester, great courage, manly conduct, and =impeachable prudence; as well while surrounded by-the sabres of those who had sworn his destruction, as while In prison, nader examination, and during the subsequent dis- Cussions in the Courts at Westminster. 4. -That, during the late -prolonged and harassing Trial at York, the conduct of Mr. Hews drew from the presiding Jecljte slit* testihnaolef of personal approbation as have seldom been conceded to a defendant on a State Trial while his acute ceoss examinations, sad his dexterous application• of every point of law which bore on his case, extorted the admiration of all who heard him, and particularly of those who had previotielyinthibed unfavourable prejudices.from the misrepresentations of the press. S. That, under all these circumstances, the People of the United Kingdom owe a Debt of Gratitu le to Mr. HUNT, as the Chain*, of their Civil Rights, which obligation this Meeting cheerfully acknowledges ; but as Mr. HUNT has been involved in conddenble expenses by his personal exertions, and by the legal proceedings of .which he has been the object, this Meeting feels it au incumbent duty, at least to indemnify him against the same. fo. That therefore, this Meeting recommends a General Public Subeeriptiou among the Patriots of the United Kingdom, for the purpose of Indemnifying Mr. hews against his past expenses, and also as a solid testimonyof their sense of gratitude for past services. 7. That the Friends of Liberty generally, are earnestly Invited to concur in promoting the Subscription among their connections, and to transmit the amount to the Treasurers as early as possible. S. That an open Committee of Subscribers should meet from time to time for the purpose of paying over the sums received in such manner as may best accord with the independent feelings of Mr. Hors, and with the patriotic intentions of the Subscribers. 9. That these Resolutions be advertised in various Morning and Evening Newspapers, and be transmitted to the Editors of l'atristic Newspapbra throughout the Fmpire, who are requested to aid in-promoting the design within their reipective Districts. -10. That Messrs. R. Ireland, 7e, Holborn-hill; T. Dolby, 299, near the New Church, Strand; and Si, Wardour-street, Soho; and T. Fulham, Iron Founder, Mitchell -street, Old street, be appointed Treasurers, to whom all Subscriptioei should be addressed or paid, for t he purposes designated by the previous Resolutions.

AT a critical Season like the present, when Chil dren are Teething, the utmost attention ought to be paid them, partiealarly as the Measles and Chin Cough are so preva lent. the Irritation of the Gums comes with any other Dis order, very few Infants recover. Mothers ought never to be without the AMRRICAN -SOOTHING SYRUP in the Nurser', for if a Child wakes in the night with pains in its gums, this valuable Medicine applied will immediately open the pores, heal the gums, and thereby prevents Fevers or Convulsions, for ahould it come in competition with any other Disorder, it often destroys the Mother's brightest hopes. Parents wheMay be dubious of the virtues of the SOOTH ING SYRUP may refer to the different Cases that have ap peared in the Newspapers for these last ten years.

N. B. De sore to ark for " Alitnoon and Waihilis's Soothing srup.•• The CHAIRMAN then delivered his charge to the Jtiry from a written paper. They had heard the Proclamation an.ainst vice and immorality rca 1, .and it wai his duty to .tcil them,- then, at the com mencement of a new reign, that It was not to be hitaked upon as a mere formal dOeument, but as a . declaration of his -Majesty's will and intention, that tie precelits it contained should be strictly observed -and diligently carried into execution, to the moms sagement and promotion of religion and virtue, and ' the discottutenancing and repressing infidelity, mos faneness, and nickednc:s. It. was a soiemn duty, in cumbent on, the Gentlemen of the Jury, to apply : themselves sincere), and vigoi misty to the effectu. ating or his lfikleityl gracious and beneva)lent views. It was particularly necessary at a time when despe rate and diabolical men were using every art ond straining every nerve to introduce disord er and anarchyinto the country, to overturn the fai h of the people-in their AEDERMRR, to shake their aitegi .ance to their Sovereign, and weaken and destroy their obedience to the laws, and attachment to the Constitution—when open attempts were made to up root all good and moral principles, to infuse a spirit of discontent and sedition, and to incite to the coin. mission of such malignant and atrocious ci imes, as all true Englishmen viewed with shuddering and horror. To guard against the machinations tf such . profligate characters was what, at such a crisis, was imperiously 'required of all well-meaning persons, in whatever station of life, in• proportion to their re spective meant and opportunities; and it behoved the Gentlemen he addressed, in particular, as Grand Jurors, induttrionsly to inquire into, and, as fat as their proper functions conterred the power, rigor ously to subdue the first risings of crime; as Magis trates, to enforce a due submission to the I , tivs ; and as parents and masters, carefully to instil into tie minds of their children early principles of piety, mo rality, good order, and obedience to the laws and constituted authorities, which would preserve them uninfected by the contagion of evil example, and •ren der them honest men and good subjects. Thee were the precautions which would defeat all the designs of the malicious and ill-deil._Tning ; for as long as the Legislature watched with cal e over the manners and habits of the people—as long as, the inferior Magis. mates exerted themselves in an active and . vigoro'us discharge of their duties—as long as ..Tui sec exercised their functioni with zeal and integrity, uninfluenced by favoiir or affection on the one hand, or by ma lace and hatred on the other--so long would the ope ration of the present laws counteract ail deigns hos tile to the general weal, and protect and preserve our noble Constitution with all its attendant advantages. The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to make a few remarks on the business which was to come before the Jury, in the course of which he observed that the contests in and-about the Metropolis, during the General Election, had swelled the list of misdemean ours and minor offences; and that the useless cere« mony of Chairing the Members for Westminster, which was to take place this day, would, according to all likelihood, allure many a youthful niind,. by the temptations for theft and depredation it af forded, to commence the career of iniquity, and - cause many a pang to the hearts of parents for years to come. After the Chairman had delivered his charge, the Grand Jury, retired, and the Court proceeded with the traverse paper. J. Commerjard, and Mary his wife, were indicted for assaulting Christiana Bates, Widow. The prosecutrix, an elderly woman with an encou mous red nose, detailed her case with astonishing volubility, the substance of which was, that the-de fendants were robbed some time ago of some " little matters of clothes and such like," and, in order to discover the offender, they had recourse to a sort of necromantic ceremony, Called " turning the Bible and Key." Sundry wise neighbours were. called in to witness the ordeal, and, alter due deliberation, it was agreed cm all hands that " Christiana I3ates must be the thief!" whereupon the defendant's proceeded to the dwelling-house of Christiana, and beat her until the blood. gushed from her mouth. The male de fendant absolutely knocked her down; and loosened her remaining teeth.—Mr. WALFORD, for the de fendants, asked Mrs. Bates if she did not strike his • clients in return? • Mrs. B. Me ! No, indeed, upon nty horteur, I did•net, whatever you may think, Mr. Counsellor." Mr. W.—" What! did you not scratch the man's face a bit:" Mrs. B.—" I am a poor lone woman," Mr. W.—" You didn't seize him by the throat, did you, and threaten to knock outTvis wifes eyes?" M rs . I am the mother of 14 children, and I hope yea will do me justice." • Mr. W.—" Will You give me an answer ? Did you not kilt in return?' Mrs B.—" My husband has left me twenty years, come not Slithaelmas.clay, at four o'clock iu the morning." Mr. W.," Then lots won't give me an answer ?" Mrs. 13.—" Bless me! &net I talking asfarst as I can, Vo van avitay with my servant girl, and set her up for his wilt, a eerier Mr. You are an astounding witness. you be or not r Mrs. 8.-0 I am sixty years of age, come next Friday fortnight ?" Mr. WAITORD said he was free to confess that, for once in his life, he was completely outdone. He could not cope with each a witness, and he wished her a good morning . Mts. B.—" The same to you, and many of them !" An being questioned by the Chairman, she con. fessed that she had no knowledge of her hushan4i's u death; and, for aught dig . knew, he was still She was siated in the indictment to be a widow, and on that ground the defendants were acquitted.
