SUMMER Sty jslll.l A numerous Meeting of' the lAA'tants of the 1 Ward of Cripplegate Without was held yesterday. 1 in pursuance of a requisition, for the purpose of collecting the sense of the Ward with respect to the recent c:n►duct of the Magistrates and yeomanry of Manchester. The meetings of this Ward have When° been held in the church, without causing July inconvenience, or injuring, in any degree, the internal economy of the sacred adifice; but. on the present occasion, the churchwardens, forgetting that, as such, they are merely the servants of their f e llow-parishionen, thought proper, in the exer cise of their discretionary power, to close the doors, and exclude the people from their own church. — Tile Meeting, however, was held in the church yird ; and there, surrounded by the humiliating memorials of human frailty, the people of Cry►- plegtte expressed their shame, sorrow, and indigna tion, at the conduct of the Magistrates and yeo manry of Manchester—and endeavoured, by every means in their power, to bring relief and assistance to the aufortanate persons who have suffered the consequences of such intemperate proceedings. — The Meeting agreed to a petition to the Lord Mayor, Aldermen. and Common Council of the City of Loudon, suggesting the propriety of direct ing some portion of the City funds to the relief of the sufferers--aod remarking, that such au appro priation of the public money would harmonise as well with the general sentiments of the people as the large groats which, on former occasions, were mode to the Russian', I'ortug►►ese, and Germans. Indeed, if extreme poverty, tlineld,s of near rela tives, the loots of limbs, ■ncl the consequent impos bibtlity of labouring for subsistence, be sufficient claims upon the sympathy and charity of the wealthy portion of the community, we can scarcely imagine any cues that more earnestly demand the exercise of these virtues than those presented by the individuals wounded and maimed at Manchester, with their families, and the families of the killed. The severity of the Magistrates of Manchester has not, we are happy to say, operated as an ex ample to be imitated by any other set of Magi:• Crates in the kingdom, although meetings of the Reformers continue to be held in various places. Upon the impropriety of holding such meetings, we have never hesitated to express our decided opi i,ioi, ; nor have we ever disguised from ourselves, cr ern:et:lied from our readers, that those who con. elle such assemblies are actuated by a very dam t:. loins spirit, that demands the utmost attention of the Government and of the local Magistracy. But that the great majority of the people who thus seem to they the call of a few leaders, entertain any hos t ,loy to the existing itistitotions, are unfriendly to the Monarchy, or desire a change in the form of the Coverninetit, we cannot believe. Many of I item are no doubt sincerely impres: - ,ed with the notion that u Reform in the House of Commons would in act tinily contribute towards ameliorating the ge i.eral condition of the people ; such ati opinion in tine ulna' act implies nothing criminal or seditious; but we are Candy convitict d, that if these persons sass in the Government of the country a desire to alleviate the sufferings of the labouring classes, by rtiiiiiiiishing the pressure of taxation, or if by airy 'wows they were restored to their wonted habits of ro:ristry, they would quickly cease to attend Re torin Meetings. Unless some means be speedily :Aided to obviate the growing evil, we fear such a revolution will have taken place ill the • Is of the lower classes, as must be attended with (longer to the contented paupers did not embrace diem, and they never exerted themselves to alter their habits unit conform themselves to their varied circumstance* ; tin were exempt from the stimulus of want, and Pothers their pressure upon public charity disab led Pothers from giving them employment, and thereby Lierpsjuutel the system of pauperism. In such a state of idleness they became Reformers, and the mistaken and ill-directed charity of the public has been employed in corrupting the habits and poi soning the minds of those who, under other circum stances, would contribute to the welfare and orna r merit of society. Undotit . stedly, however, it is not by the sword of the soldier, woe even the truncheon of the constable, that these mistaken and unfortunate individuals can be restored to the performaiice of their proper duties; persecution and outrage will but confirm them in notions that previously floated upon their minds without consistency or object. To meet for the assertion of their rights, is one of the noblest and most undoubted privileges of Englishmen, and although they may mistake the nature of their de mundii, the privilege remains unaltered. If that privilege be invaded, if an undoubted right be violated, even in the pursuit of au imaginary and uncertain object, what is more natural than that the populace should confound both, and conceive the claim pursued to be of no less value than the right invaded ? A point of speculative interest thus becomes invested with the importance due only to a constitutional principle, and assumes an influence over the public mind, which it would otherwise never have acquired. From the lute outrage at Manchester an association will be formed in the minds of the people of Lan cashire between Parliamentary Reform and the right of meeting in public. Had they, however, been permitted to enjoy the latter as their ancestors bad enjoyed it, without interriiption t their anxiety for obtaining the former would not have long sur vived the period of time devoted to delivering of a certain share of absurd ileclamatiou. The French Papers which have arrived announce the pregna.!cy of her Royal Highness the Duchess of CLARENCE. The same Papers, we regret to state, add, that her Royal Highness does not enjoy a good state of heal►h. The Doke and Duchess purpose to embark at Du►.kirk on board the Royal Sovereign yacht, whence they will proceed direct to the Thames. We have extracted from the Paris Papers an accomot contained in a private letter from Tours, of an English Gentleman who has purchased a large estate in Touraine, and by the expenditure of a great deal of money, converted a country com paratively barren into a scene of abundance and beauty. This circumstance merits some attention ; for although in the letter from Tours it is attributed by a remarkable anachronism to the repeal of the droit eraubuine, which was effected only in the last Session of the Legislature, while the improvements noticed in the letter must have been the work of some years, and would probably, by the national vanity of a Frenchman, be ascribed to the influence of his fine climate and tine country—yet we fear it will, on further investigation, •be loomd to be only a part of that system of emigration from Eng land, both of English capital and of English industry, which has been compelled by the enor mous and disheartening pressure of our taxation.

COVENT.GABDEN TIJEATII E. The musical drama of Mb Boy was last night t performed—the part of I)iana Vernon, by 1 M. TREE, being her first appearance in that clot- 1 racier. This young Lady's talents have already secured her a very distitigni•liell situation in piddle favour—and we have no doubt that they will citable her long to retain it. She proved herself, by her performance of Lucy Bertram, a very effici ent, though by no means an imitative substitute I for Miss STEPHENS—and her excellence in the part of Diana Vernon has strengthened the opinion which her preceding eti . irt hail created. Sae sang with great taste and s implicity--and acted in a 1 very agreeable manner. Her song of "Jain High lundman" was given with much spirit—and the Burt between her and Mr. DERUSET, Alas ! we part to meet no more ! was executed in a most pathetic style. Francis Osbaldistone is one of Mr. Duttu- SET'S best characters. The soft music attached to it is peculiarly well adapted to his voice. Ile gave the solo part of " Auld long sync" aith the st expressive feeling. This composition was loudly encored. Mr. MACEEADY bustaitied the fame he has already acquired by his excellent representation of Bob Buy. Ile described the various passions of the honest-hearted, but lois. guided 11U113 , 41 7 , in the most brilliant colours. Mr. Lts•ruttl'S Buillie Jarvis beguiled the au dience of many a hearty tit of laughter. There is a coolness—an absence of effort--in the performance of this singularly-gifted comedian—which, though in the actor it wears all the appearance of gravity. sets the gravity of the audience utterly at defiance. Mr. BLANCHARD, us three, and ENtEr.Y, us Dougal, made their respective parts t ,rontmem and amusing. Mrs. FAUCIT'S llelen Macgregor is a bold and spirited performance. The house was very full.

His Royal Highness comes from Hanover, and is accompanied by the Princess, his consort. The Royal Sovereign was a short time since at Calais awaiting these illustrious travellers, but the Princess, whose pregnancy is fur advanced, being indisposed, their Royal Highnesses preferred em barking here, fur the purpose of.proceeding directly to the Thames.

Mr. YOUNG closed his engagement at the Nor wick theatre in the character of Zungu, in T he Revenge, fur his own benefit. We are sorry to learn, that the very precarious state of Mrs. 11.
