Previously to that step being adopted, he hoped that some of the many Gentlemen present would address the Meeting, and the' give the other speakers time to collect their scattered ideas.—(.4p. please ) On this appeal being made, Mr. razszos came forward to the side of the cart, sod bowed to the people assembled before him. Dr. Wazsow informed she multitude, that it was the famous llr. Preston. He would pledge his word that his friend Preston was sober at presept, thoegh his enemies on one occasion, when he had addressed a Public Meeting, had charged him with beieg its. tosicated.—( Laughter and applause.) Mr. PRISTOM then proceeded. Ile addressed die people as Gentlemen and Fell ow.cit izeos," and alo• served that they bad, by their attention, and by the Resoletioas they bud this day passed, convinced Ides that they had discharged their deity. Ile now stood for. ward to perform hie, in the manner that best became citizen of 'be world. He tell exceedingly happy to M. hold himself surrounded by so many thousinds of his Fellow.coentrymen, who held the same opinions with raved t • their political rights tba t he bed long professed and cherished.—(47ilause )—Like the Spartan, he would swirl, nay, he would die at his post, sooner than shrink from that dusty which now brought hies for ward—a fluty which bald the Camino place in his heart. For tweaty-five years past, he bad been ex tremely watchful of the conduct of his fellow-country. men—and, from whit be had seen, during that pe riod, he had often delisted within himself whether man was, or ought to he, that tame and patsies me tete, which some individuals in power seemed to king ne. A few da)s since, when a report of the raissirophe which had taken place at Manchester reached him, be blushed that it was the will of the Great Author of all things, who laid the (Ganda. lion of the world, that he should li,. to see such atrocious ciudoct practised against an unoffending end suffering people.—(Greif Applause )—They had heard speeches from individuals of rank, who I declared, that whenever a favourable opporto.

Had they taken a single step to punirli those who had occasioned the tragedy at Manchester?—[Here a cart, on which a dead horse was placed, was seen moving through the crowd, and, as it was reported that it was followed by a great body of constables, the crowd begao to von in all directions. Great confusion prevailed for some time, which prevented Nit. Preston, who con. tinged speaking, from being heard.]—lle was, be ssid, confident that the conduct of the enemies of the People would create a re-action, founded on the 'sample which had been given to them at Manches ter—and concluded by requesting that the letter from Mr. Hunt to a friend I. town sod from Sir F. Bar. deft to the Electors of Westminster, should be reed. The proposition for the reading of Mr. Hunt's letter was then pet and carried unanimously. It wu reed by Mr. Walker, end several passages in it were greeted by lied cheers from the inelliteJe. When the proposition for reading Sir F. Borden's latter was made to the Meeting, some few solitary voices laid, " No," bat the majority replied, "Yes," sad weiemod it by repeated cheers and loud clap pings of the bands.

THE STATESMAN. THURSDAY. AUCUit IG, 1819. a_ The CUAIRSIAII pet the gae•tion, 41 That the Ap• peal jest read be the Appeal of this Meeting," whirls was carried in the elLerative, amidst the clopping of heady, and the most decided manifestations of en @s alting j .y. The CHAtawAe said, he we, happy to announce that the Appeal hail been agreed to, unanimously, by an assemblage of at lees/ bO.OOO i•erson.! A Mr. BAILEY, who stated that he lived at No. 3, Brook's covet, Illoltiorn. after sortie little demo., obtained leave to addreaa the People. lie said he stood before them in a very critical 'donation But, though not iamb known to !hero, he hoped, ea c re- Tensible matt, the, world tie t I to him, and con sider well what he said. Ile ease there to support the great raise of Reform—that cause which had just. ly ronervitated together an east a multitude. What did the People went? They wanted lint Atria th►y tit oulti ultimately procure—liberty !—( Andattse. ) Thai object wag. ■nd would be insipid. Those eh appeared before them, on this occasion, had considered of such measure., as would °Melia that liberty which they desired. The People must see, that ahead) some of the greatest men in the country had espoused their came. When this was the case, what might they nut hope for ? He was an tummy to all riot, disorder, and bloodshed, on either aide, and he hoped the people would show such so maple of firmness and forbearance, as would stifle the repreesetations of those by w►om they were ealemniated.—(Ap. plerse!)--One thing he particularly wished, which was, that the artisans and mechanics of Lercloo would address the Common Council and the Caperreon.hall on the necessity of petitioning the Prince Rivet eo the state of the country and the rectal scens of horror at Manchester. Oar Sabstribers will rood with unusual eorntioo a letter from Lord SIDMOUTH to the lota Lietstentnt of Lanraahire, wherein he rapt the satisfaction of the Pntscc REGENT it the premin, do i sir*, and effirient measorea, adopted by the Magistrates for preserving the t►anquillity. Vat may therefore, by inference, conclude that oar City Magishat f o will be impeened for a contrary condor% By allowing the Krferrners to setire in whole boner and sound skins, they may have the boldness soon to vett I 'pin; wit ,if they had all been pet lathe sword, l ot the sword even put to them, they migl.: nut have had the power, whatever courage they might posses•, to re-srsemblo for some lime to come. Free this i.•consisteuci of conduct between the Miniory and the Magistracy, it is plain there is a diversity of "pi. “ion, sod we are snore than user s ort rispj e t the itttlers of approval end cornntrodatiorr which the Secretary of State has obtained from tb' Panics oo the subject of the creel attack oo the People. M r. A LCL said, he shoeld new hove the honour of oaring a ante, not indeed of thanks to the sapient Lord Meyer of Lourloo.—(Peals of larthicr.)-11, then p►npased— Rr.ol•ed. That the Meeting feels the ►igh[st ledirtati , a et the riii duet of John Atkin., F.•q Lord Slayer of Lando*, in •dlf%ing the perry of Iteforniett, who awiewbled at the hit Weill* in Switlifidd, by ‘ll%ing that they intended to hem the City .f L••edaa, and to snot der all the peseta/A, taltabituatt. - - - Well, Omit seems that the moderate npp n f Parliamentary depravity and Nlinisrsrial e a rr a pihr o , are as much displeased with rho Smithi•ld ll , forrners of yesterday, aslbe Ministers are with Sir FR tura 13UaDrri arid other greet Reform►rs of e rery day.— We ere ourselves sorry from our souls that their is not a better understanding moil the honest Pat ri.':r, because such nthenderstandings give a pretest to the pretended Patriots to find fault with whatever is done by the more getter, or more reflecting Patriots. Flr our own parts we were well satisfied with Major CA RTWatiiires advice for delaying the Meeting, and wish it had been followed ; bet that is not a reason for condemning the conduct and views of those who thought differently from the Major. These disagree. agents, or rather waot of maestri in planning, give the common enemy to all Reform, to all change, howsr ever. promising of advantage, in theirows vi.• of tie matter, a pretence to stand fast to the abuses of the State, which are by degrees driving the People to ab solute madness. The Miui►ter hes his pack of crea tern in the same disciplined order as a huntsmen his kennelled hounds. He has only to sound his born and they are at his heels, to hunt this way or that : whereas the poor worn down, broken-hearted crea tures, who are languishing from the effects of • wicked system of rule, know mot how to associate, where to look for aid, to chase away their devouring /emir , . If they find them after long search, soma tern out to be too hot-headed, some too cold-hearted : and be cause their champions ere not agreed •boat the order of battle; their 'unties not possessing • tithe of their physical force, and without one honest reason eo their side for their depredations, never theless vanquish them ; being better exercised in governmental tactics, and having a testier com mand over their devoted slavish tacticians. By this means they find no difficulty in gaining the vic tory io repeated onsets, before the poor sufferers are drives to desperation, at la hids critical moment a bold adventurer darts forwards, and by a kind of supernatural power in his followers, reshn to the prise, obtains it, and thee seeks, like a CALM or a Do:r.►riays (a DUNIOURIeR in attempt), to west ' it for his own honest ! ! Mr. nuttier. weeded the motion with all kis bears— which was onsaimoesly agreed to. The CIIIAMNAN congratulated the People en the orderly end peaceable manner in which they had comforted themselves—which proved that Meet ings of this description were not of that dangerous nature which same designing persons hid described them to be. What had been agreed to, and what bad been expressed, on this occasion, was perfectly legal. If improper motives were attributed to these who now uppeered before the Meeting, or if they ewe charged with any intention to commit crimes, i multitude whom he then addressed, could, by their evidence, sat the *cessation at nought. He looped they resold now disperse and proceed to dile respective homes, in a quiet sad peaceable aseweer without offering insult or injury to any person. He thanked them for their ettension doting the day, awl hoped they would persevere is etideavooriag to eb. fain the rights which belonged to the People of this great country. Mr. Musics proposed the Thanks of the Mollies to their Worthy Chairman. The motion was seconded by Mr. Wateca, and carried by acclamation. The CHAISIIIMI thanked the Meeting with all his heart, for the approbation which had been bestowed en his conduct. If he knew his own heart avid feel. ings, he was convinced, that, while he had life, he would run from the cause of the People. He was advanced is years, and, I. the course of nature, could not tepee to be mach longer among them.— But, if he lived to see the emancipation of his coon , try from a Boreteeh.mengerieg faction, he should exclaim, in the sacred words of that unfashionable book, the Bible—" Lord! let thy servant depart in pow, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation." 'lather) thenked the People, and wished them a good night. Ile begged of them before they went to give three cheers te their sincere friend Mr. Hunt, who had im mortalised himself is their cease. The air was mediately filled with the loudest acclamations, which lasted for a considerable time. Three times three cheers were then given for Mr. Cathie. At the conclusion a cry was made for Mr. Warder from among the crowd—" Where is Wooler ? Why does be not show his face?" That Gentleman, how. ever, did not make his @prevalence. Mr. Watson, Mr. Preston, Mr. Thietlewood, end the other speakers, then jumped dew. from the waggon, and in a short time the crowd was wholly dispersed. According to arrogate from Frankfort, there were reports in the diplomatic circles of Germany of a Quadruple Alliance being under negotiation betwego Great Britain, Aestrie, France, sod Sweden. Tull:lugs or SuestesToya.—lfieltoyallfighoess war expected at Ilolkham•hall, the hospitable seat of Mr. THOMAS COKE, OD Toesday, where the Doke will sojourn a fortnight. His Royal Ilighnees then proceeds to Beth, to open a Grand Lodge of Free. masons. After a stay of about ten days, to drink t h e waters, hi e Royal flightless Morns to town.— In October he goes to Tunbridge Wells, where his Royal Highness will probably remain till Christmas, the sir cl that Inure agreeing so well with his health. . - STOCK EXCHANGE. TWO O'CLOCK. The Stocks, as will be seen by our list today, bare raised their beads to nearly the lame height as before yesterday. The failures are prodigiously no m ,no less than fifteen ! Among them. bow. ever there are eons of eminence as capitalists in the money market, 81160°0 the deficient sums of some are very considerable. We are now nauseated nod digested with Com pendia., of the Law In regard to Sedition. Why don't these busy compilers give us Compendiums of the Constitution with regard to liberty. We thought the Courier bad given enough of that species of mat ter in his Tuesday evening's Paper. A viler colloc• Lion of stuff never appeared in print before. Ti'. Gentleman costa to hold the compilation and its anther in equal abhorrence for the ignorance and ma lignancy displayed in b.'th. If such stuff errs se might fairly say as of physic. " Throw it to the dogs, for I sill none of't !"—'l'n read these Com pendiums and Compilations of the lAw, as now 6.4 forth with regard to Sedition and Treason, pets one in mind of the Anklet of Wsr being read to a goad of young revel's every few days. The Ad. jutant or Serjeant-Majar concludes almost every sentence in a more energetic voice than the other parts of it, by saying, all soldiers guilty of such offence shall everts DEATH ; then adding in a softer tone. " or such other punishment as a Court• Martial shall think proper to inflict." At first the poor greenhorns of the circle hear the loud sound of death, not only with a sigh, bet their very knees will knock together ; yet, in a short time, they are familimised to it, they will smile et its repetition, and even sometimes (if only a non-commissioned of .l fiver be the reader) they wiit burst out into a load laugh, or repeat the word death, as a el , r 1: says 1' amen after a prayer.
