NEWCASTLE. OCTOBER It. --410- The meeting which task place here on Monday 'iv calculated to teach a great moral lesson. It has long been the boast of the Pitt faction, that the population of this pert of ithigland was perfectly inissive and destitute of spirit. At length one hundred thousand people started up, as if by magic, and declared their determination to unite iu demand ing their constitutional rights. The meeting was intended to have been held on the parade ground, but before half of the divisions hod arrived, it was-completely filled. The whole body, therellve, marched to the Town Moor, pre ceded by the hustings, drawn by three horses. The divisions followed each other in close regular rinks, four and six men deep. Part of the pro cession which approached from the South was one hour and five minutes in }missing. The banners and flags were splendid and numerous. Several excel lent hands of music passed, playing patriotic tunes. The whole immense hotly marched upon the ',mound solemn silence, the music playing " Sci7/r trim bee ori' il'allacc bled." All the dogs, and the rods of those who direct the affairs of political societies, were surmounted with crape. The following is a list of the principal inscriptions, as well as we cog id collect . _ _ •'_lu memory of those who were murdered at 'Alan. cheater, and History recording the dreailCul et ems of that day."—On a white ground, with the Rose, Thistle, and Shamrot k. 41 We mourn for the niabsacred at Manchcster."—A Wadi flag with a and hinder.

The speakers arrived in three post eiraises, dressed in deep mourning, and on a.,cend ing the hustings, which were now decorated with a pro: osion of flags, the business commenced. Mr. Nlaclenzie, a respectable master-printer wa. c..112:1 to the chair, who addressed the meeting in utt energetic speech. Mr. Marshall, a boaseller, then rend the Reso. ,tins, which were supported by a Mr. Layton, a s,:!molunutter, Mr. Hodgson, a master weaver, the itev. J. 114'Pherson, a young man named Jameson, the Rev. G Stevenson, who, we understand, is a methodist_ preacher. One of the Resolutions ailed upon the Clergy to attend to their spiritual business, and another propofed the inthicdiate for ma:lon of a permanent fund, fir the protection and s..;;Tort of those who may become the victims of tri.nny and uppressi..n. It was ascertained hy actual subncast:rement, that the space occupied by the compact body of the meeting would hold 76,000 persons. at the rate of Cur to a square yard ; but when the thousands of s,:attered spectators are included, and the close manner in which the great body stood. the whole tu.ty safely be s:a.e.l at 100,cocr. Perhaps they largest puldic nt::;:tifig ever held. As soon as the Chairman had di solved the wva.t ing, the whole formed under their respective flags, and within six rc:nutes t 1.1..: vast I:cily of men were in marching order vt a constMe er soldic r was Keen rn the ty!efind, l!,ti the as , clutly was, while tlte speal,,!s as siler.t .;5 in church.

The Trial of Mr. Carlile for re-publishing the Age of Reason commenced on Tuesday, and on Friday evening the Jury found him Guilty.— From anxiety for the well-being of Society we had hoped that all the Newspapers would have refrained from publishing the different counts in the indictment, because those counts em brace the most objectionable parts of the work ; as however we have ascertained that AIL oun CON TEMPORARIES mean to give them at length, we t•xtstt.t.tN6LY insert them to-day, lest some of our readers not properly appreciating our motives for the suppression, should be dissatisfied ut the omis- mon. Our constant renders, and those who know us best, will least of all suspect us of an inclination to offer adulation to any one, however exalted his situ ation; but as we censure when we see cause so to do, so we are certainly justified in praising where praise is due, and with these feelings we cannot pass over without eulogy the conduct of the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench during the late trials for blasphemy. If he erred, it was on the side of mercy, when lie allowed the defendant to go such lengths in derision of those sacred institu- Lions we have all been taught to feel del;:rence for, from our earliest infancy. In his charge he was so perfectly impartial, so fair a representative of the Goddess who ought always to be considered as pre siding in a Court of Law, that we at once honoured him as an upriAlit Judge, and drew a comparison between his lib. rality and the conduct of his into lerant predecessor. In this day's Paper we have given the nett pro duce of the Revenue of Great Britain in the Years and Quarters ended 10th October, 1818 and 1819, shewiiig the decrease thereof. Comparing the two quarters in 1818 and 1819, there is a deficiency in the latter of 900,0001. in the Lustunis There is also a diminution iu the Excise in the quarter just ended, of gg,oool. cerrirattl with the correspending guar. ter of List year. The whole of the Revenue of the year ending with October 1819 has fallen short of that of 1818, to the amount of 370,0001. There is a very serious falling off in the last quarter, and there is no prospect that the Revenue will imprcve. The Chancellor of the Exchequer will find it diffi. cult to provide for the deficiency. It will be seen that the Inquest'on John Lees has been adjourned to the Ist of December. Our law libraries are yet incomplete; we want a digest of the Laws of LANCASHIRE, fur sure we are, that the practice there is any thing but the Law of Exci- LAND. Berne the Jury returned their verdict no Thursday, Carlile retired from the Court, accompanied by so ne Irietids, to the Guildhall Colll.e. house. The City Mar shall,. informed of the cir:outis.aluce, placed officers at vie !root and b .ck doors, ti'i .ie left the house, a.smit 20 1111131Ites afterwards,. am! proceeded to his own dwel. mg, whither they followed I . Ls about an hour after, a coach drew no to the door, of which notice was sent to the Marshals.—The verdict having by this time been gtven, Mr. %Vont tier tinned with two tipstatis, and went imo Carlile's shop, who had then put on his great coat, preparatory to palting into the coach.— lid - tamed that the officers haul a warrant to detain hint, he saie, that he was only going to Blackheath to see his children, which he did curry erehing. Mr. IVonin ti oisformed him, of he could produce 'WO respectable lllllltitkerperS to be bound for his appearauce the next stunning, he would be at liberty ; thus Mir.

Rented a remarkable contrast to the settlement of the last account. No fluctuation of any consequence occurred, nor does any apprehens:im appear to be entertained on the score of defalcation. it is now evident, that the effects of the inordinate specula tion that prevailed at the time the loan was nego. ciated, have passed away, and that affairs at the Stock Exchange again find their natural level. The price of Consul• at the close of the business was 68i, and Omnium is quoted at a discount of per cent. The continuation for November is I per cent. In the year 1780 a message was sent by his MA. jesty to each of the twelve Judges, offering them the protection of the military, to which Judge Gould returned the following answer :—" I am grown old under the protection of the English laws; and I am persuaded, however some persons may be mis led, the people in general lave and respect tho laws; and so great is my attachment to them, that n ould rather die under them, than live under the protection of any other laws." We wish that all the admirer of Cathie snd Paine would read the eighteenth Chapter of Leviticus, and Paley s Sermon on Joshua xv. 40th v. before they attempt to pass such decided judgment on the command of " the Lord God of Israel," that his people should utterly destroy al' that breathed in the land of Canaan. Archdeacon Paley, be it runem beret!, was the warm friend of both civil and reli gious liberty, although he was nu less the enemy of that, mi.walled liberty, that blasphemous licence, which disgraces the writings we allude to. On Tuesday, the Mayor of Hall declined acceding to the revisition from the Radical Reformers, tin. a public meeting of the inhabitants of that place A meeting has, however, been appointed by the Radi cal Rethrmers of Hull, fir Wednesday, the 20th inst. The notice is signed with 21. names. The force of public opinion on the necessity of imposing on the electors in close boroughs the same regulations which apply to •he voters in counties and cities, begins, it is said, to be extensively felt throughout the kingdom ; and, as evidence of this opinion, a Correspondent intiorms 1,15, that there are at present several of these boroughs fir private sale ; ; ttttt mgst them, one in Surrey, mu in Sussex, two in Hatitosl.ire, three in iViltshire, two in De vonshire, two in Osruwall, an.'• one in Yorkshire._ Extract of a 1& from York, dated Tueaday evening.—" On Illy nrrival in this city, I found every one of its inhabitants whom I conversed with unwilling, 1 had almost said unahle, to c•inverse upon any other subject than that of the county met'. ing which is to be held here on the ensuing Thurs day.
