A peo ple. jealous of their libeity, would appear on curt an occasion mourring habits, but they, no doubt. tame with mourning in their hearts. They came forward as a. branch of the Grand In • quest of the Nation, to ascertain the ;pound of the charge against persons presumed guilty. They wale to record a well•groantleil opinion, respecting a violation of the laws. Would to Guel his Alajesty's Ministers had adopted that course of proceeding, but they had pureued a ditfetent line of conduct. They had oxlip wryly rushed forward in the name of the Prince Regent to iodic the call of justice, by budowing praise and thanks upon the am thore of Cahunity. Tlwy had ',innerly ee..n Government expe ditious in appointing Special Commissions to try offence*, but now the Manchester Coroner was allowed to delay finding a vet ' diet. and it Lomearthise Jury could nut be induced to tint a true bill. The Government directed the complaining people to apply • to the ordinary tribunals of the country, and disclaimed all extra judicial enquiry. It was to be deeply lamented that his Royal Ilieiniees the Prince Regent could nut, on tins oceueion.-extrewe his own jut4,onent and sentiments, tor his character and prima ' plea must have undergone a fearful change, if his feelings there on did not shew equity. humanity, anti goodness of heart. The Aleeting would ever bear 111 rout that juetice was due, and they ouelit never to shrink truni tilt obligation due to themselves. If I they did not persevere in their Antis to obtain Justice, they woulu be exposed to the sewn and rt proach of the world. The ques tion fir their consideration was, whether blood had been well uteitr inevitable netwesity ; or, on the contrary, whetwa it mid not been shed cowardly and maliciously, by military. acting under the tortes of magistrates, who übweril their ttttt y. tie was happy to find the same disposition did nut prevail among tile ma gietrahs of utter dtetacte. In the City of London, thank God ! he found only loyal citizens and brave soldiers ; not one extzu honer In assaawn. (bowl applause.)

It was the language of the beau tat we lionise of Russel. The Doke of Bodford lied told them that the wily remedy for the sufferings if the people was km be tumid in the purity of l'arliwitent. There was not a wan among the Meeting who did HO( fed that if there was a Retorts in Parlia ment there would be no more meetings. The people would abide by the lamest decision of their representatives,. lie was ready to admit that the arguments in support of Universal Suffrage had been tirocel with intolerance, and that it was objectionable,; at the score time. the discussion and adoption of that plan was nut to authorise Nla);istietes to destroy individuals, and break down every beacon of danger. l'hey were hot to order troops to rusn upon the unarmed multitude. If punishment was due to persons meeting to discuss the principle of Universal Suffrage, what ought to be the punishment of those who violated the laws and the principles of the Cthistitution, to suppress such Meetings They were told the peopic of Niel - it...luster assembled with sucks and clubs, but it would appear that the said sticks and clubs I were ideal, and like the sticks anti staves in the declination of actions for libel mid !rover.

Yesterday several persons woe brought op to the New Batley, and examined before Mr Norris, the Magistrate. on various charges assigned against them. Benjamin Batty, a constable, stated, titat three men struck Men, and took los stick front him, and then carried him hefine Mr. Burgess. One of slit in (he could not tell which) called him a spy. and used other ritiensise langua g e.— Oil being cross-examined by tor. Barrow, the counsel. the witness said, that this occurred in Oxford-road, about It: at night. lie could not swear that he did not first strike one of the men violently. Tittle were twu other men with the winless. The )(mug men at the our had no sticks with them : there had aloe been any dispute previously. He struck one of the melt, and the blood cause front hint ; no wounds were inflicted on the wit. ;tees. They took him to Mr. Burgess. and charted hint with having committed an assault. Ht.: then turned ;he tames ou thew. and brought diem here on this charge. Plait, a police-offscer, said, he saw a sort of what between the )antes, but could not tell what passed. Mr. Burgess, on Iwing examined, said, that these men came to Ibis house about half past I 2 at night, after he was gone to bed. When be got down stairs, he found that the three men had Batty in custody. 'they said they hail tweit badly used : lie saw tine Milli with blood on his head. Butts then made his charge against theni. Ile (the witness) thought, that all parties had had a little liquor; the three oleo were • g from Stock port. lle had heard to-day that they were all steady Well in general. Mr. Norris.-1 can't tell how the truth lies in this story. Batty's Oalil is, that he was assaulted. I shall, however, dismiss ihe complains. I hope, if the assault Wellcominitted, it was the effect of hong Luber drunk, and nothing else. Four men were then brought up, on a charge of having broken a chandelier at the theatre on Saturday last. A constable stated, that some persons in the upper boxes and gallery had thrown potatoes into the lower boxes, am/ broke one of the chandeliers. lie saw a senile in the upper gallery, and went there. The , e men, situ about 15 inure, were shouting " Off, but lie did not see them throw any ►hingg Mr. Norris.—What was meant by " Off, off!Y' Were they interruptiug the peribritiance on the stage ? Witness.—Yes, Sir, they were waking a great noise, calling out repeatedly " Off, off." Mr. Norris (to the prisoners.)—You have been guilty, then, of a most serious offence. I an. glad to find that none of you Hung things ; but I wish it to 'Fa forth to the public, that the performance at the theatre ought not to tie inteimpted by any noise whatever. It is clear th you have committed a breach of the pence by shout ing and hissing so as the iltriolllli3llCe CO/11:11 1101 V/ on. I repeat it, this is a most serious gill. tics.; amid ,A hen any persons are found guilty of it again, they will be severely punished. I do lint think that lam justified in letting you go with ttttt binding ymi in t r to aiiiiyar at the ses sions; but if you will se not SO do it again, I will Ist you go, and not ht•ld you to bail. The prisoners as :motet!, and were then discharged.
