Mr, LEDGES. praised the manner in which the question had been. introduced to the meeting, and denied the law to lw established writ was laid clown in Ile Courier. Ile raid, that the Bill of Rights virtuellv repealed the tyrannical acts of the Stuarts, and he then proceeded to condemn the illegal con duct of the Magistrates and yeomanry at Blanches ter, respec ting which the Royal ear had been so much abused. Were it nut fur his Royal High new's approval of the transaction, he believed ant a man in the country would have been found to rise on in its 'Wolfe. Ile was not one of thme who, like Mr. Wilberforce, could think the same act po- Nically right iii morally wrong. Mr. Wilberforce had said on the Indemnity Bill. that though it was morally wrong. religiously wrong, and politically wrung, yet as it was the act of Ministers, supported be Parliament, he should not oppose it. He trust ed the inhabitants of this Ward would nut follow Mr. Wilherforce's example, hut censure acts that deserved censure, no matter by whom they were supported. He disapproved. as much as any Mali, of the general proceedings'of Mr. Hunt, to whom and his followers he would say, itt the words of a good old loyal song -•• • Coolrused their polities, • O Frustrate their knavish tricks," And to the Prince Regent he would say.-- May he defend our laws, " And ever give as cane " To sing God lava t►e King " (Loa laughter arrd applause—a cry fellawed of " Will non sing it?"—" Yes," replied (he worthy Gentleman, " oiler dinner.") Mr. SHARPE said, that the facts on which the condemnation of the Magistrates was supported were wilfully distorted or starred over. In the first place, it was asserted, that the constables had not been opposed ; in the next it was stated, that the yeoinsury wantonly cut end hacked, without distinction of age or sex, all about them. Ile asserted that the real facts would snake out quite a different case. lu the first place. the people by the word of command from the hustings, locked their arms together and retired a few paces front the hustings, and were or dered, if any persons opposed them, to knock them down and keep them down. l'wice the constables endeavoured to execute their wa•rant, and were as often unable to penetrate through the multitude, whose locked arms interposed, and successfully prevented them. The Riot Act had been twice read, and after the second reading, the yeo manry edvanct d to make way for the constables to discharge their duty. They did so without out ting at any body, and it was after they had suc ceeded in arresting three on the hustings, and after they were ' , mailed by showers of brickbats, by which two Gentlemen were thrown, severely wounded, from their horses, that they did what all men un• der the same circumstances would have done, oppose force to force, and act on the principle of self defence against a brutal attack. Of the mischief that had been done, a great portion must have been done by the leth hussars, of whom not one word had as yet been said—indeed the mob had given out that they would not say a word against the hussars —that they would set it all down against the yeo manry—for then they would have the hussars with theta.—( Hear.)—lt was most unjust to music, thst the Magistrates were guilty of such outrage, in the absence of any thing but loose insinuation. Ile would not, therefore, consent to the original 'notion, aguinst which he should, if atone, hold up his hand. The people came into Manchester at 11 o'clock, on the morning of the 16th August, hi attend the meeting, iu complete military order —they matched in regular divisions, some of them from a distaece of many miles, and kept up the regular order of a military hods, until they centered iu one point at St. Peter's-field. It was said, that the Riot Act had not been read, for that thousands haul tint heard it ; this reminded him of the story of the Irishman, who, when a case of aisault was clearly proved against him by two wit msses who saw the transaction, said lie would bring fifty to prove they hod not seen it.—(Lawetter.)— It was on oath before the Magistrates of Manchester. that many of the people, as they were advancing to the town, declared to their friends that they would return laden with the property of the town. Ile had had this from eye-witnesses. The worthy lentlemaii concluded, by an earnest appeal to the Meeting to adopt the amendment. instead of the original motion, which prejudged the whose quell. tiuns.—(Hear.) Mr. ximsots explained, mob and the milt try at complete issue. He IM not likely to be one of those who would say mot thing 'prejudicial to the labouring classes. He Mad Porting from the people, and of k•-ouree felt for, and commiserated their situation; but so heated were t heir minds, that for *week or fortnight after his ar rival he could not rely upon the accuracy of tiny of the numerous statements that had been made to 11ati. The people, as hill been stated by Mr. Sharpe, haul marched into that meeting by divisions, iu regular military order. each led by a sort of permit who acted as a.r.nnimander ; they halted ut and kept the prep . while the rear was contrite up. and 40 use a 111111tair 'phrase turned sharply Oil a pira'.. The Nligi.trates had assembled at Mr. Brixtoit's hrihse, which was near the hustings, and hid i-surd their warrant !owl alter the arrival of Mr. Mot. Mr. Ethelstone reed the Riot Act from the window of Mr. Buxton's house ; he put himself as foraar.l and read it as land as was pomble : Mr. Sylvester, the only. Magistrate present who had been engaged its trade, hot who was nut of it for twenty rare. expressing some doubt of the legality of acting upon the Riot Act en read, was informed by . the. Megiattutes that they thought the Act had been duly :reed. bat that it was open to him if he pleased to proceed elsewhere and read it. fie immediately attempted to enter the Court for that purpose, but before lie had gone throegli mere than two or three lines. he was knocked about and compelled to take refuge from the crowd. The next fact was, that Nadir) was ordered to arrest Hunt, but found it impossible to execute his order, in consequence of the locked arms of the people, at the command of Runt, who also desire:l that if they were attacked, they should nut down their assailants, and keep them down. Ile denied that the yeomanry had cut down the people is the manner thut bad been described. Toe yeomanry were men of honour, and incapable of the acts that had been imputed to them—they merely broke through the crowd to in ike way for the civil power. They moved slowly forward in single files, headed by a trumpeter, and not a drop of blood was spilt until Nadir and others were attacked in taking the men and colours on the hustings ; the mob gave complete battle, were well armed, many with bayonets suit pistols, and not one without a club or stout bludgeon, greatly superior to a constable's toad: The Man chester yeomanry were, after clearing the way to the hustings for the constables, hemmed in by the mob, arid so compactly eitchosed, that they could not make their way out. The Cheshire yeomanry and 13th hussars were at that time quiet spectators, but on seeing the state of the Manchester yerenanry they advanced to their assistance, mud it was the general opinion that not one of the Manchester corps would have escaped with his life. The 15th hussar* made the charge, and the confusion it occasioned may be conceived from the circumstance, that in the instant after men, horses. and helmets, were sees tossed about in one heap in the crowd.— (Hear, hear.)—The Manchester yeomanry, there fore, did not charge; they merely acted on the de fensive. As to the facility with which information of facts could be obtained, he hail only to say, that oaths were to be had without much difficulty upon the subject. Two persons were brought to Stockport to prove that Birch had not beau shot, or. if he was at all, that it was by Lloyd, the solici tor's son. The person who brought these men was Mr. James Muorhouse. The worthy Gentleman concluded by severe remarks on the licentious and irreligious publications which were industriously circulated throughout the manufacturing districts, and the unity of the plan and general concert which prevailed at meetings, the great object and tendency of which was the distinbance of the public peace. If the !Magistracy had committed an error, instead of applying opprobrious terms to them. they should be left to the ordeal of the laws, which was com petent to punish sny offender.—(Applause.) Mr. BLADEN here rose and wished to give Mr. Gibson au opportunity of explaining a part of his speech, if he had understood him rightly. Did he mean to say that the Magistrates should have fore warned the people, and not have spread toils for them, and waited till they had gut do in it) the net ? Mr. GIBtoN, its reply, said, he had used no such expression. He then observed, that it was held to be legal, in the time of Lord G. Gordon, to march in bodies, and with flags—the slatichester yeomanry. it was true, did not gallop, for they could not through so thick a crowd. Of course, lint being actually present at the time lie could not distinctly prove the whole affair, but he did not therefore dis believe it—he never saw the wall of China, but he believed there was such a wall in that empire. It may be, that oaths were easily had at Stockport; hut it mattered not to the present question what oath Mr. Moorhouse or any other person would take. Mr.SPENCEZ rose here with greet warmth, and said lie had not named Mr. Moorhouse as taking any oath. He desired that no such assertion should go forth us emanating front him. Gentlemen should recol lect that this was a reign of terror in the neigh bourhood ; and no man ought to point out another to veogrunce in this tuuoner. Ile had merely said, that . Mr. Moorhouse hail gone with two persons, who said they would prove something about Birch, but lie did not soy that Moorhouse would take a false oath.—(llea,.) Mr. Bea.r..BN veld, he took it to be the este. Wished rule in argument, that what a man avowed lie had sa t d, should be taken as his expression, and not what he had disavowed.—(flear.) Mr. CIRSoN then resumed biereply. and said it was singular that none of the yeomanry had been wounded.

I was walking tiuwsi to the House with a Member, sail discoursing with him on the discussion which was to take place that evening. My friend expressed the strougest dislike to the conduct of Minitders, and made such severe animadversions on their proceeding., that I left him, in Parliament-street, fully be lieving that he would vote against Administration. I gave him great credit fur the I mayor his intention, knowing that his cussitexions were of such a nature as rendered it desirable that he should vete for Ministers. That impression, however, lasted but s few 'Moo tes. My ft iend called after me, and said, I I am afraid that yon are going away with an erroneous opi aims of the course I Milan to adopt. You will be surprised, after what I have said, to see my name to-morrow in the list of theme who have supported Ministers.' I said, certainly, I would feel much surprise. ' Oh!' observed be, ' I can explain it. It is trite, Ido not approve of the conehiset of Ministers, hot you know 1 and my family are pledged to sup poet them. Now, supporting them when they are in the reghl. is of no its--it is only by assisting them, when they are wrong, that I can spew my devotion to their service.— Weer, Meier Gentlemen, is ■ true pictnre of the Parliament at It was then, is now, and ever will be, tinder the present system.

I stow come tu the third object of the Ursula- Gans which relates to a subscription. I hope every person will feel that there is a strong appeal made to their feelings in favour of those who have suffered at Manchester—and that, at the same time, it as of consequence to give to the injured the waits of combating with their Inure wealthy ad veraaris. In my opinion, however, the amount of the subscription is nut so ouch, ouster the present tie cunistances, as the number of the subscribers. 1 run. less I should rather see several thousand bags of shit ling' and sixpences collected, than double the sum its large sail splendid donations.

A meeting of tlw liiha . bitants of the ‘Yard or Cheap was held yesterday at the King's Tavern, Poultry, fur the purpose of collectieg the sense of that portion of the metropolis ilium Ow proceedings of the Magistrates and 3elnianry of Nlanchester. The mertiog, although Inside re spectable from the individuals present, was ity no means numerous, as it did not at Cu) period of ihe day exceed 150 itur:rmv, and the uutodr,rs that vided at the close of the discussion, wise,. theve.• of the meeting was collected, asnottoted only to It may also be collected from the spreelirs t. vered at the meeting, of which:a full report will b• found in our preceding columns. that the grater number of those present were closely connected with the scene of those events which were yesterday the subject of inquiry. What influence this cir cumstance might exercise upon the opinion 'of so small • meeting, it is not for ws to determine. The most enlightened integrity of character c:oiltint al ways secure the possessor from the ilifinettee of re presentations proceeding from friends and kindr.lll the mind ii.sensibly adopts their feelings and impressions, and instead of severely searching al, r troth, is soon employed in the more pleasing tool gratifying task of devising topics of exculpation, if tint of absolute approval. The business of yesterday was opened by Mr Grissom, who proposed a wire of Itesoto:ion•, temperately but firmly asserting the tight sti the people to assemble for the discussion of 4 obje . eta of public importance, and cotnplaining of thalklag , i 7 strides of Manchester, for having dispersed a sure t.. hag legally assembled and peaceably conducted. These Resolutions being read in the (mat of a de claration to bind the meeting, llr. JAMCI proposed a series of counter Resolutions, lamenting the boat occurrences at Manchester. but exculp.itiii ? s, sod eve commending the *Magistrates and yeeinntli v for their conduct on that occasion, as being requir ed by circumstances, and authorised by the laws of the country. The discussion on the snhject wis c lucted with propriety mid decency ott sides, assertions made by either party, however di:- pleasing they may be to the other, excited 00 vulgar clamour, but were met by counter assertim,s, and tsigument by argument. But whatever it'll ence the discussion may have had on the jndg uetat of ally person there, it is certain that its tinn.ind lengrh (being protracted till six o'clock) had the effect of prematurely clearing the room of no small portion of the persons assembled at the commencement, and the friends of the Magistrates and yeomanry of Manchester having remained arm, there appeared on a division for Mr. JANE.'. Resolutions ; against theta 36. So that they were finally carried in a company of ti 3 persons by a majority of 11. We are too sincerely the friends of free &setts sion to quarrel with any persons for the opinions they may think proper to. express ; but in the arguments advanced yesterday by Mr. JAMIs and his friends, it is impossible nut to priceive that the very points in dispute are assumed as prier ii,:rs fully recognised and admitted. It was affirmed that the Magistrates of Manchester hail wetted intelligence that the design of those who attended the meeting of the 16th August was to plunder the town—that the people were - armed for that toil-- pose—void that they had offered resistance to the civil power before the cavalry were required In Ile . . of •ti!'sM O,IIP . , S`'• .1 gers had found their way in. roe prior to the (Leis sum, on all Gentlemen who were not inhabitants of• the Ward being ordered to withdraw, sums hod the honour immediately to retire. • Mr. Drpoqy .

Cirenmatanees did occur which rendered it impossible for me to be present, without great personal inconvenience ; hot, if I had beer, aware that a public meeting had been announced, I would have waived every consideration, however presiing, and at tended to your wishes, as it is my duty to do..—(Hear, hear) —Rut, Gentlelnen I hope you will not throw the blame on any other person—l trust you will look upon me as accounta ble for the error. I throw myself on your indulgence, and hope to flint my excel* in your good feelings (Mae, hear.)—Being called to the Chair, I will now, Gentlemen, proceed to the business of the meeting. I think that there is no necessity to read again the Resolutions to which the general meeting agreed. 1 hope they are fresh in the recollect ioo of those present, and that they are impress ed on your memories so deeply that they crania be effaced. —("774ey ere! they are !")—These %solutions embrace three objects—first, a demand for joalite—secondly, a re. roinovenelesiow that parochial meeting-14'004 he held—and thirdly, that sobecriptione should be entered into for the relief of those ialiriduals who have suffered at tit-wheeler, and to promote the attainment of the ends of justice.—if, indeed, justice can be obtained. But, Gesitlemen. whether it ran be obtained or not, must depend on the ettergy with which the demand is sustained. we bare still the Constitutional means of expressing the omnipotent will of the people—we atilt have the means of overturning florae barriers whirl Ministers have erected to prevent the access of prolific opinion to the Throne—we have still the means of penetrating to the bosom councils of the Prince Regent—but, to avail ourselves of those means, we must tie united—we must indefatigably persevere.—(Hear, hear.) — We are now placed by the Ministers and their adherents in a perilous situation. When I speak of their adherents, I mean all those who do nut oppose them. 'The WhiZsr the Radical Reformers, the Moderate Reformers all see the evils which Ministers have entailed on the coiruiry —and all wish to correct them—though, on some ',Mots, they manifest considerable difference of opitisati. Oor sits /Won is at present similar to the stale of the Jews mailer King Ahasuerus. We are now expelled from the pale of civil and social law—we are divested of alt our rights—and subjected to the martial tyranny tif i the deputies of provinces and the Captains of Fifties r—(lfrar, hear.)— But, Gentlemen, I trust the parallel will rain throneli the whole of the chapter—for there we see, that, when the Ling was iiiformed that he was imposed on, lie ordered the injured people to defend themselves; and those vile individuate, who had given such wicked counsels, suffered from the indignation of the King and of the netion.—(Ffeor, hear.)- 1 am not, however, recommending that we should pursue this question with it view to seeking or procuring revenge.
