• ind Klow elute, w.as Mected by the Gentlemen who had Jutted Kr: Hest, as the most appropriate day for their • . fellow toteinnen to shdw • their` respect for that distim frodoemeralbsWell as to tffibibit the remarkable which &as taken piece in their political feelings and opinions. IS.. Host Using intimated his intention eif,:eirerine Birmingham- on the morning of the above clay, was met at the Mermaid, on the London road, by a • procession of persons consisting of the Members of the • . •Committee on foot, a ntimber Of gentlemen in an open landau drawn by four horses, and a great concourse of people, most of *horn were decorated with laurel and blue and white favours. The procession was preceded by the band of the IVarwickshire Local Militia, and by men carrying a large tri-coloured silk banner—in the centre,•the words " Unite and he free" surrounded by the Rose, Shamriwk, and Thistle, and in two scrolls, " England, Ireland, arta Scotland," and, " from Unity proceeds strength," na the reverse, an emblem of Unity with the inscription, " Peace and Uood:will to all men." This peaceable assemblage of Englishmen form ed a remarkable contrast to that riotous and incendiary mob, which thirty-two years before bad passed over the vary same ground, marking its progress by ravage and desolation. On the right band stood the renovated . mansion of the philosophical, the pious and the p!teiotie Priestley; and on the left, we observed, tlsg reins of Bordesley Hall, a striking memento . of the folly of the multitude, and of the drape . rate and reckless wickedness of the then ruling faction. On the approach of Mr. Hunt, the band played - the tune of " See the Conquering Hero comes ;" and the air re sounded with the load and retaking shouts of the people. A. the procession approazlied the town, it wallowed by immense numbers of the people, and the streets through which if passed, were every where crowded with persons anxious to catch a glance of the hero of the day.On reach ing the market-place, which is very spacious, and @Ra nted' on the top and side of a steep hill, a halt was made fer the purpose of presenting Mr. hunt with a congratu latory address on the occasion. The spectacle here pre . sented was most picturesque and magnificent. The bill of the market-place Prow its apex to its base presented tp the adini ring beholder the gratifying sight of a thickly et:Ogled Anil peaceable assemblage of Englishmen. The shouts of this vast multitude resembled the reverberation of thunder among the defiles of rocks. We heard many Of the inhabitants remark, that there bad never been upon Any similar occasiononly thing like the number of pro. Op assembled in Birmingham, except on the public en ,3 Mr. Wuoler . At the end of bloor- street , opposite • ;ict.stood the carriage of *Mr. Hunt, several of the Ma gtsbrates other distinguished inhabitants of the town were pointed out to us. flood humour seemed to be tbeorder Of the day, for we observed these gentlemen recognise (i. Edmonds, who was in the carriage with Mr. Hunt, in Avery' friendly, smiling manner. Silence having been obtained, Mr. Ediuonds observed, that it was impossible fir him to express the gratification which be felt upon meeting his fellow townsmen upon that great and *asp . emus occasion. The present assembly formed a striking, a remarkable contrast to the barbarians who disgraced Birmingham in the year 1791; and proved that Radical It-formers (unlike the besotted partisans of bigotry, witose motto was death, desolation, and deatruction), not only professed, but acted upon the mild, the humane principles of " peace and good-will to all men," whatever politics) opinions they may bold, whatever religious creed they may profess to believe.—(llere a recruitieg party, With drum and life playing,. passed unnoticed through the assembly.)—Mr. Edmonds then said he held in his hand anaddress, which he had been requested to present to Mr. Hunt; which address, in his °make, did . great credit to the writer and to the Committee who had adopted it. Mr. E. theu.resd the address, the length of which, we regret, prevent, as insertiog. Mr. Hustx then presented himself to the asaeladjl• 6 l' whom be was received with every mark of respect applause.—He s aid, that it was with the greatest pi* that he, for the first time in his life presented himself Ma • an assembly of his fellow countrymen of the town of OW rningliaio. The high flattering address, which bad been just presented to him, proved, that Englishmen knew how to value the services of a man, who bad exerted himself on their behalf. He bad suffered some little per secution for the rights and libertine of his country, and el ould it be the will of the lloroughinongers, that he should again suffer, he was quite ready even untodeatb. —(lireat applause.) The immense assembly which be now saw lietoreliiiii,was of itself more thetela sufficient re. wa:ril for all, that lie had endured ie the cause of the peo ple. What a contrast did that 'assembly present to the infamous "Church and King mob," which by its &true lief had inflicted a stigma upon the character of Sir ni;ngliani. Now, however, he was convinced, that all the w-alth of Birmingham could not purchase a hundred people.to art the part of those diabolical ruffians. The. anitior:.iidi of Birmingham, he apprehended, were not. like those of Manchester, though he perceived• that some petty despot or despots had taken care to send a recruit. ing party through the assembly, in order, he supposed, to: excite a disturbance. You have received them, however. (said Mr. Hunt) with as much indifference as though so many gad-dies had flown over you.—(Laughter and ap plause.) He little thought of meeting such an immense assembly of Englishmen, an assembly which proved, that there is no apathy among the reformers.—(Load applause.) the procession then proceeded along High-street into, Dale End, to the residence of Mr. Ueoige Ragg, where Mr. Hunt alighted, previous to his proceeding to the place appointed fur the dinner. This place bad been erected for the purpose, and was in fact an extensive square, capable• of containing seine thousands, covered with boards and canvas. The interior was very neatly fitted up ; the walls and different parts of it being deco rated n nil a profusion of flowers.—We observed also the following flags in different parts of the room, which gave it a very imposing and picturesque appearance : BLUE SILK FLac.—lnscriptions, " Henry Hunt. Esq., the Champion of the people's rights; and England expects that every man wilt do his duty." Bxaca SILK 440.—lascription in letters of gold, " God armeth the patriot," encircled with laurel wreaths. t 3 SEEN SILK FLAG.—lnseripdons—" the Sovereignty of ' the People," and " For a Nation to be free, it is suffi cient that she wilts It." Bees Fiso.—lnscriptions—" Major Cartwright and the Bill of Rights and Liberties," and " United we stand, ejected we fall." Mims Fuca Inscription—"T. J.Wooler and the Liberty of the Press," and " ten C. Wolseley and no Corn Laws. " Between three and four hundred persons sat down to I , dinner. This number was much less than that which attended at Mr. Wooler's dinner, and less than was ex pected.; many of the respectable reformers having declin ed to attend, under the apprehension that the proceed. logs wuold not pass over without Y disturbance. This fear was principally excited by souse writings, wbich had appeared on the walls, threatening a repetition of the acts of 1791. Sir Charles Wolseley, Mr. Northmore, and other gentlenseasteho had attended Mr. Wooler's dinner, were expected. &w hew,' been present on this occasion, but were prevented by unavoidable obstacles. Mr. Ueorge Edmonds was called to the Chair. The Committee of management bad taken care to provide a good substantial dinner, and the waiters were exceedingly active and attentive. After the cloth was removed, a number of ladies were abetted. If one may be allowed to judge presei regrets lot to fill the Chair ou this interesting occasion, _ could have wished to have had it filled by one more able to do it honour than himself. .1t was, however, always his triaxins never to flinch front any .post which was assigned to him, and whether that post, was to perform the part of a genyal or a common man, lie should deer endeavour to fill it to the utmost of his ability. He not but feel astonished at the absence of thugs• leaders of Reform who were expected to be present this day; men whose names we , e as familiar to them as their household words, or he might say their household gods. Though he would cheerfully allow to others the capacity of serving their country better than he, yet wooid he never admit that any man whosoever was more attached to the cause of humanity—or who would go farther to wards promoting the happiness and weilfare •f mankind than linnself. That day was remarkable, not because they had the good fortune to meet a man, of whom they were all proud of, and whose conduct deserved the appro. batiou of his country; but because on that day a lesson — a lesson was read to tyrants—it was the anniver sary of the downfall of the Rutile ; and, however some might wish to slur it over and blot it fro; the page ef history, the 14th of July would ever remain a glorious era in the annals of the world.• Though the Revolution io France was productive of scenes at which memory re• .coils —and of outrages which all must condemn and la ment, yet should we not rejoice, that a check was then given to the evils that oppressed her, and a blow struck at the root of tytannv, which all the combined efforts of the Holy Alliance will never be able to replace, or to heal. Let us not forget, gentlemen, that however much we may be disposed to weep over the aposiacy of those men who forsook their princ►ples, and were the cause of iisese atrocities which were at that period eemsaitied, that there was more calamity produced in any one year by the wars urged against France, than was ever produc ed by the Revolution 'within it in seven.—(Great and •ontinued applause). The following toast was then drank with three times three— • " The People, the source of all legitimate Power." Mr. EDMON DS continued, gentlemen—the next toast I shall propose, is— " Civil and Religious Liberty all over the World." He was proud to say, that a wonderful change had occurred in the minds of men within the last few years. Few would be found in the present day who would dare openly to oppose this toast, however they might secretly wish that the opinioa of their brethren sleight be fettered. Why would they per secute • man because his opinions differed with their own. He supposed, forsooth, they considered their own ' opinions more valuable to mankind than all others what ever? They thought themselves in the right; be should like to know whoever thought himself ift the wrong?— Human opinion was the necessary result of evidence.— , Why theft should any was arrogate to himself that be alone is right when evely other being is, with few excep tions, escapable of weighing and judging of these mat ters as himself: If Christianity would not stand the test of an inquiry, it could not stand at all. But let thew not suppose that it was only among the advocates of Christianity, that a want of liberality was to be found.— There was the bigotry of infidelity, as well as the bigotry of religion, and the one was equally as disgustiug as the other.—(Loud applause.)—The toast WAS then drank with three times three. The next tonst was 4 ' The Rights of Alan, and may all Nations here the wisdom to understand. and the eouraeo to defelkl them." Drank with three times three. Mr. EON ON De then said be was ashamed to come so frequently before the assembly. He bad now to propose to them a health, which lie was sure they would all heartily and cordially join In drinking. A man who was unceasing in his exertions in the good and great Cause of the people, and for that cause had suffered the most cruel persecution. He himself knew somewhat of a prison as well is Mr. Hunt. That gentleman's fidelity to the cause, the sacrifices he had made, and the cruelties he had end ured;' he was sore were all appre ciated as they deserved by his fellow countrymen. For himself. he felt incapable of expressing the love and admiration which his conduct inspired in him. Mr. Edmonds then in a very animated manner took a rapid review of the conduct of Mr. Horst, during the attack at Manchester, as well as under the charges and trials that followed, and the confinement that was consequent to his sentence ; and having adverted to the impotency of the attempts to crush the spirit of Reform, he toncluded by propeeing the health of— - - . . " The Champion of earliest reform—the fearless advocate Of the nation's rights—the undaunted supporter of the peo ple against their oppressors—the liastite.proof patriot, Henry Hum, Esq., with our assurance that we hail his pre sence among us with heartfelt emotion."--(Laud and ye - Want applause which continued for some minutes.) Mr.Htint then addressed the Meeting nearly as follows: —Ladies and Gentlemen—You will agree with me, 'I have no doubt in thinking, that 1 possessed a very un feeling and a very unnatural heart, if the approbation which 1 have rereived this day did not excite in my breast feelings of gratitude and pleasure. The unbound ol applause which has been bestowed upon me has been the more gratifying, because I am conwious the end and aim of my life have always been the service of my Coun try. With the exception, I believe, of my friend' Ed monds only, all the inhabitants of Birmingham were, till this day, perfect strangers to me. To be so received by strangers is exceedingly gratifying to me, because i t proves that the honours which have been so profusely heaped upon me were entirely the result of the approba tion in which you held my public conduct—(Loud sp. planse and cries of "you are worthy," &c.) 1 know you will be candid enough. if on this occasion I should speak of myself, not to attribute it to egotism or a feeling of petty vanity. Indeed it is vanity adder some circum stances for a man not to speak of himself, and such are the circumstances, in my opinion, under which I now address you. Besides I know it will be expected, that should go into a detail of some of the transactions of my life. For more than twenty years you have no doubt read and heard of my name , for more than that length of tune have 1 beets incessantly struggling in the cause of the people; in endeavouring to restore their long lust rights and liberties, and during the whole of that time have 1 been constantly attacked by t.early the whole Press oldie kingdoni(Cries of"shame.")No man hasever honest. ly stood up in the cause of the people without drawing down upon him the hatred and malignity of "the powers that be ;" and, no more effectual way is there to be found ' of expressing that hatred and malignity, than by bribing the Pews to pour out their atrocious calumnies against the indifidual. 1 have known hundreds of honest, and able men, who have used, for a time, their dearest inter ests in the cause of their country. at last retire into the bosom of domestic peace, incapable of bearing up against the calumnies of the Press. They would have fearlessly faced the cannon of the enemy, but they had not courage to face their venomous and atrocious slanders. Both Whigs and Tories had joined in this work of slander; in fact, those two parties could not be better described than in the words of the historian, they were "the two thieves, between whom the nation had /seen crucified."— (Load applause.) Never should I have been able to have stood up against the limited calumnies of Whigs and Tories, bad not something here, (striking his band upon his heart) told me that I was animated by no sinister mo tive, but solely by a desire of setting my country. Th `p . " .of alluw Isaias hr the naps, all my labours have no !"):-=-Iliatar grown grey iod.never will I ever betray t or i ous cause. When the a, I was always ready to sadists myself anon soy iros4 fiw. In never on any occasion briog of Meted with either A i i entl or political•gont.—(Load laughter.) But .wiry is it, von will ask, that! kayo -bees attacked by all parties? tiurely there were some so do you justice ? I will tell yon, my friends, because 1 never would truckle =rty or faction , whether they were the pretended sew the avowed enemies of freedom ; becanse I never would join in any intrigue, or even refrain trim exposing it, in short, because I always would insist upon having all things In-might fairly before the people, sever on any occasion having consented either to deceive to betray them. A few humble individuals of this town invited me to attend here this day. I saw among them the names of persons who had suffered in the same cause in which I have suffered; and I he sitated not to accept their invitation. I have received all sorts of letters from persons calling them selves respectable reformers, advising me not to at tend, as the people who had invited me were men of no consequence, and that if 1 would comply with their re quest, they would take care to get up a respectable din ner, and receive me in a way which would be worthy of my desert'. Their invitation was too late, I w I had promised to attend ; but lied it been earlier, it would not have prevented my attendance. Mr. Edmonds has expressed his surprise, that a greater number of respect able people are not present, but that circumstance neither gives me surprise nor regret. Ido not wish for men of wealth and titles to be present en this occasion. I neither expected, nor desired them ; and I would advise you never again to look forward for assistance from those quarters. You're quite capable of conducting your own affairs. I know. certain people are in the habit of asserting that the Radicals have neither power nor influence. But those people should recollect, that they have done some thing, and caused more to be done against them. They drove the borough-mongers to the extremity of passing a law by which they would not allow as to pray to them except in a limited number; thereby intimating, that they were of more consequence than Altuighty GOD himself, who gladly receives the prayers of his people, however great the number who meet together to uffer them. There is one subject to which I cannot belt adverting, and that is a subject which I sin well aware you will never be tired of hearing adverted to upon all proper occasions, although the Spanish Meeting ; (as it is called) the other day would not suffer me to speak of it fora moment.—("Shame, shame.") Such were this Whigs of which that meeting wholly consisted.. For my part, I shall never forget nor forgive the transactions of that day, and I have no hesitation of most solemnly declaring that I would not give sixpence for my life, if I did not think I should live to see a just and impartial inquiry into that abominable transaction. 1 was the olio gin of the Spanish subscription. (Mr. Hunt here gave a detail, Ike. of his interviews with Sir Francis Burdett, who promised to take the chair provided Mr. H. would get a meeting called. He then continued) —Seeing my exertions, the Whigs called a Meeting., et which a Committee was appointed, that is, John named Thome, and Thomas named John, and they called them selves a committee duly and legitimately chosen. After many unnecessary delays, they at length called a meet ing, and the first man that was put into the chair, was Lord Erskine, who fur the last fb years had received a pension of .10 0 W. a year. Previous to Lard Erskine taking the chair, I attempted to address the meeting; but was interrupted by a little smart-looking son of a pensioner, Mr. Hohhouse, who accused me of throwing wherever I went " the torch of discord" among the re foriners-4 will tell you presently, what the Hon. Gen denim meant by his assertion. The next person that took the chair was Lord Win. Hemlock, and lie, I find, receives 90001. from the people, and his family about 30,0001.—(Laughter.) Then came forward Lord Ebring. ton, Mr. Brougham, and Lord Lynedosh, all of whom are receiving good round sums out of the pockets of the people. Mr. Brougham is some sort of a lacquey to the Treasury—l have forgotten what he is called—Oh! I recol lect, he is Sergeant at Arms to the Treasnry. lint what do you imagine is the office of Lord William Bentinck? Why, gentlemen, be is the Clerk to the Pipe. And what, you will say, in lion's name, is the Clerk to flee Pipe ? Ah! that was what puzzled me—but at length, I found it out. (Cries of "tell us.") Why it consists io holding op the LurdCuancellor's g o waavhen he goes toCourt.(Laugliter.) It was among those gentry that his presence always threw the torch ofdiscord, and I trust that amongst such I always shall know that much feared torch. The torti, however, which they call the, " torch of discord," is a torch which I hold up for the purpose of enabling the people to see the truth. I will always throw this torch amongst those who wish to humbug the people.—(Loud applause.) At the meeting referred to, I proposed a resolution in conformity with the advice of Sir Robert Wilson, calling span pen 'loners to give up a day's salary to the Spaniards. hail you seen the looks which this resolution excited, you would never have forgotten them. They appeared as though ney were standing amongst barrels of gunpowder when sparks of fire were flying about. I know how disagreeable such con duct, on toy part, must be to a certain class of persons, but I flatter myself I am doing, thereby, %service to my country. If once my conscience whispered, no, I would immediately desist. But while it tells me otherwise, with the assistance of my Ma Kea, who is my strength and support-1 will still pursue the same line of conduct. There are but two men in the House of Commons who have honesty enough to say that the whole of the people ought to be represented—who are advocates of universal suffrage, Mr. James and Colonel Johnston; and these two gentlemen have told me, that in conse quence of their having made a declaration in favour of those principles, not a Airinbee la the house will act or associate aid' them.--(Cries of "shame.")—Mr. !hunt, in concluding a long and able speech, which we regret time will nut permit us to re port at full length, observed, that a paper had been nut into his bands as lie entered the door—which paper, he had no doubt, they had all seen, relative to th e R e p ort which would be given in the STATZB3IIN of the pro ceedings at this Meeting. hl r. H. then gave as a toast, " lite honest men and pretty women of Birmingham ;" which being drank, the Chairman gave, "The Alem3ry of the brave Lancashire. Reformers, who fell or suffered at Man chester on the 16th of August, 1819. Previous to drink ing this -toast, Mr. Hunt beixed to introduce a female who, with a child in her arms, was wounded on that occasion; and the Meeting, in commiseration of her sufferings, entered into a subscription for her. The sentinicat was then drank in solemn silence. Mr. Hunt next proposed the health of the Rev. Joseph Harrison and Joseph Swan. He said lie - could nut suffer the meet ing to part withont giving same tokens of their respect for those truly good reformers. He knew how he should have felt when in prison bad he been unnoticed on such an occasion; and he was sure his persecuted friends around him would have likewise felt hurt. They ought also to enter into a subscription for them. Ile would give his pound. A subscription of between six and se ven pounds was immediately collected ; and Mr. Hun declared that he and his friends would make it op ten pounds, which he himself would take a journey to Ches ter for the purpose of presenting.—(Loam* cries of breao.) The bealtbs of Messrs. Ragg and Beandia, two perse cuted friends of Reform, were then drank with great ap plause. They severally returned thanks in very able speeches, which we regret we have not room to laud ~,,,` I w $ ~~ ~1 Tie chairman said that many things which were nisttays of course were frequently forgotten. They had aluo ir -A forgotten to give the health of the rather of Reform. He then proposed as a toast '6 Maj.mr Cartwright, and may the countty produce mane such blossoms of virtu , which blooms :. • lwaerifully and endures so long."-Drank with three times three. The health of Mr. Charles Maddocks, the host of Mr. lEnt,was then drank with great applause.—Mr. 31. refereed thanks —The following toasts, with several others, were also drank with enthusiastic applause in the comae Athe,ereeiegt— _ •• Sir Charles Wolseley, Bert. and Thomas Northmore, Esq. may they shortly he as active within the walls of St. Stephen's as they have been without." " T. J. Wooler, Esq. and the Liberty of the Press." " John Drakard, the independent Editor of the Stamford Newt". May the Reformers throughout the nation be Wile to the necessity of colitinued exertions, until they have obtained their just demands." •• Success to the glorious cause of the Spaniards." 1 " Confusion to the measures of the self-constitute] lily Alliance." " Messrs. Creswell. ()fiver, Raywarl, and Perrot, and long life and prosperity to them. Mr. Muni stated, that those three gent). men had late. ly banded to him a requisition signed by 500 freeholders, requesting him to beuume a candidate, at the next elec. Lion, for the county of Somerset. The compxny was delighted during the course of the evening, by several patriotic songs, and the excellent band in attendance, did not add a little to the pleasures of the day. The Meeting separated at an early hour, highly gratified with their entertainments. . . • • . , • .' '., ~•••• ;164 1 0'"' . • . • a . • i •.• , ... ' "-.141%714..5....4 % . • ' •, 4 , . , . .

Considerable ar rangements were made for his Majesty to prorogue the Parliament in person ; the State carriage horses were exercised in the break. to proceed under the porch front ing the new Royal Entrance at the House of Lords; and Lord thwydyr, the Lonftireat Chainberlain of England, is in town, to superintend, by virtue of his office, the re. gelation, fur his Majesty's reception at the King's Palace in Westinitt.t r.

GRAND REVIEW ON HOUNSLOW IMAM. Upon no occasion for many years post has the Western road exhibited sect' a !ramie& train of vehicles as yesterday. The morning was gay and inviting, Ind the cavalcade was splendid in the extreme: open cat riages exhibhiwg a di , - play of native beauties in costumes not to be equalled by any other e Juntry. The town of Brantford was a completn stoppage, and at llouoslow it was impossible to get a bait for a hungry horse. At twelve o'clock the rain poured in torrents, and unsay elegant parties declined pursuing their route any further. Anxiety and hope were on the stretch as to the time when the Review would begin. until the Duke of Wellington passed through Htninslow. This was the signet for a general hart, disregarding the elementary rage at this moment. The silks, satins, plumes, dr. of the in ice is open carriages were *polled. Officers in uniform, not im mediately attached to the review, rode and remained on the spot uncloaked, and the anticipation of better weather, 11111 the object in view, left bet few behind. At one o'clock his Royal highness the Duke of York, as Commander in Chief rode in front of the line, widen had been formed more than two hours. His Royal highness was accompanid by the Dukes of Cumberland and Wellington, and a numerous r... Cane of General Officers. The Regiments inspected were' formed thus : On the right—Artillery.-24 First Life Guards.-3d Horse Guards (Blues.)-4th Seventh Light Hussvrs,-sth Third Light Dragoons.—Oth Fifteenth Light Dragoons. Soon after the arrival of the Commanders in front of the line, the royal salute having been fired, the Review c sm menced as follows:—The Duke of York ' • on his right Lord E.Sonterset, on his left his Grace the Duke of Wellingt.in, inspected the line, which ht.d a most imposing awaran, as to steadiness ihd cleanliness. At the close of the insp e ' lion the Commander-in-Chief, the Duke of Wel.ingios,„ Lord E. Somerset, the DO. .of Cumberland, Prince et Soling, and I numerous retinue of Geoeral Officers, took their station in front of the line opposite the landau of the Mirtpiestof Anglesey. occupied by the Ladies Paget and other peril of the fatally, The troops then passed the Royal Duke in division, and afterwards in single file; the co mender of each joining the Commander-in-C def ar er head ing their regiments in review order. At this time t e rain poured down in torrents, and ()dicers rein i ed un IJakee. The Duke of Wellington was loudly cheered out heading his regiment (the Blues). The spirit of the Review now began. but the fall of rain prevented its splendor from being aerate advantage. Lord Somerset gave the command, and the tac tics were most scientificelly imposinx. A shairtigtt then com menced, and the evo utious lasted without intermissiee of henry rain until past four o'cloek. Without going into the length of printed orders, we need only state that hi It SUP. , posed charge of ari enemy towards the assemblage of per , sons present, • delightf..l spectacle was presented. TI next attack was by the light brigade under the command it Lord C. Manners upon the enemy (tae Blues and the Guards), who received them, retiring by squadrons alternately, and skirmishing. The best part of the attack, to those whO en destood it, and which was most admirably managed, was the attack of the light brigade upon supposed info:dry, sae ported by artillery and cuirassiers.. The Review closed with the whole deploying into line, when a general saints was fired, and Gud save the King was played. The C. (areal bands played as the regiments passed In file. The only confusion are noticed was, that would-be re• viewers mounted on /fusion/tics, not• bred near platter flask, rebelled and threw some inexpert equestrians the hones and riders were wedged in by carrieges, and could neither escape the roaring of cannon nor the fall trent the clouds. We understand that a measnre for removing the attain. der front the five Secmtish p. erages of Mar, Kenmore. Duffus, Strathallvn. And Nairne, was expected to pass the Legislature on IVrdnr•..lay.
