Yesterda) a Meeting of Mr. Hunt's friends took I,laCe at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, to c9nsi der of some testimony to be given to him of thr owing's, gratitude for his conduct during the trials at York, and his defence of the right of petition. Mr. GALS JONES entered the room, and in. formed the msembly, that in consequence of a disappointment which had occurred with respect to the attendance of the expected Chairman, the Meet ing had been detained already beyond the appointed hour. To prevent further delay, he moved that Mr. Hayden should be called to the Choir. Mr. HAYDEN took the choir accordingly, after having apologised for the effects which surprise and inability were likely to produce in his performance of the duties. He felt for his own part that Mr. Hunt was entitled to his 'winos! thanks and giati ;de for his behavionr, more especially for his manly defence of the right of petitioning, mimes which • I the other rights of Englishmen were found ed. It was for the meeting to consider what claim had upon the national gratitude for proving I.linittlf as he had done the staunch advocate of the people's rights. He hoped all opinions and senti mem, winch should be offered to them on the snh ject would be attentively considered. He hoped fur their support as Chairman, so far as that good order might prevail a bile he was there fixed. Mr. JONES then rose and said, that it had often liappened to him, and the present was one of the uCCASIOUS, to be called soddenly end unexpectedly to act at public meetings. He did not mention this as a thing which he lamented, for he did not regret it, but as an apology for the unavoidable want of preparation, with which be so frequently Lail to appear before them. For some mouths past itideed, he had made up his mind to preserve • most rel;gious and scrupulous silence on all political sub jects whatsoever. It might have been remarked, that he had staid away from every scene of public liminess which had occurred for some time past ; at,d even at the Wetainiuster election, where his slight services bad been considered before now of some use, he had not shown himself. If there was any indepeodeoce left among the people, let them now come forward and prove it. Mr. Hunt had expended five hundred pounds in conducting his trial at York ; and it was a fact, that he had not received one peony out of that tot►d which had been raised for the sufferers at Manchester. He did not mean to impute any thing wrung to the Gentlemen who superintended the applies tion of that money—he hoped it was well ma. forged—all he wished to state was the fart, that Mr. Hunt had been seriously injured by his exer in the public cause—that his circumstances we►.e deteriorated. The public pants cried out, •. Whir then will men become orators? Why don't they, like others, follow some profession ur occupation ?" But Mr. Hunt did attempt to follow • trade, which might reimburse him, in some • thgree, the great losses he had sustained ; but the Govertinient seized his whole stock, the very ar ticles by memos of which he was to procure Iniaself some indemnity.—(Mr: Jones here reprobated, in very strong terms, the Manchester business, and eulogised the conduct of Mr.•Hunt.] if this was true, if they acknowledged it to be so, their next step was to come forward and pros tact him, to see his efforts oat behalf of their rights dm: those of the .cousuatioity should not sub ject bun to ' , airmail injury. He had pot strength to state to them, in the manlier that lie wished, the great claims of Mr. Hunt. He had before said that he appeared before them unprepared, and therefore he trusted he shoold be excused, if he d;d nut do justice to his merits generally, but par ccularly tr►r his conduct at York. It had been tray observed by the lieuttemais 'tithe Chair, that Air. Hunt had boldly blood forward in defence of tar right of petitiouiwg, hut in his (Mr. Josea's)•opi u ou„ this was mot his greatest merit. lIE also fur sashed • strong : example of the advantage of a man of good sense and strong wind trusting to his owu fearless energies to defend hits from a charge in a co•rt of justice.•—(Hear.).— Besides (without ttae•uing to reflect on the Gen tlemen of the law, amihy of them, no, not many, hot some of ther e eerilitity, were men of ;aspen... • dance and principle-) Mr. Hume* managing his• own cause had the t ffect of curbing the un licensed insolence of the Foglish Bar.—(efpolaitse.)

Did • single weak point in the case for the prewerution escape him ? Utrl he pass unobserved the nicest technical ob jtetion, or legal quibble, which might easily have been unnoticed even by a mill bred to the proles -1 ? Vet this was the man whose habits, in the language of toe venal p..rt of the press, were vul gar, whose mind was uncultivated and uninformed ! lie could now, linwev-r, he pointed out as an example of every thing th It a true-hearted, enlight. flied Englli.h Gentleman ought to be.—(Great uppluttse.)—lt wonld not now be denied that he p.wsessed what was infinitely superior to all that elicited the admiration and applause of the venal and worthless—sympathy of feeling and rectitude of principle, Ile should not detain them longer— some Resolutions had been prepar-d to submit to them, and as he feared his want of strength woolil not permit him to make himself generally heard, if he undertook to read them, he should he obliged to any Gentleman who would undertake that task ; after hearing them, it would be for them to consider whether they could spare any thing for the man whose services had imposed such obligations on all Englishmen, and had so much damiotied himself. — (Applause.)—He should be sorry to create any division of opinion or disunion of feeling among those whom lie addressed, but he should say, notwithstanding, that if that meeting had been called to consider of who might be • fit person to represent them in Parliament, he would nut have Inside one at it, fur lie should not expect any gond to fotluw from it. IM his mind the object of the present meeting was a much more proud and useful one, and therefore when he had heard of ' it, he had left 161111(nm. and his professional aver , rations to attend it, fur he hoped 1w should never keep Motif from his assembled countrymen, where public virtue was tit receive its due tribute, or an honest ID ro was to be protected from orpression.— (Gleat applause.) • Mr. Jobe.* then sat down, but after a short in• terval rose to propose a series of Resolutions, the principal one of which recommended • sultscrip non to reimburse Mr. Hunt. Oft the Revolutions being put, Mr. GAss. • per 110n or very plain apparel and address, mounted the table, and harrangned the meeting at considerable length. He touched on many of the common-place topics of the day, and was received with indulgence by the meeting. The Resolutions were then agreed to. A vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman, he returned thanks. He said, there could he but one opinion of the exertions of Mr. Hunt. In a conversation he (the Chairman) had with Mr. flobhouse on the 'object, that Gentle man declared, that no man in England could have conducted the canoe as Mr. Hunt bad con ducted it.-1 Cries of, "Why did he not attend here f—tehy has he not come forward r'j The CHAIRMAN said, that that was • question he could ant answer; b.t Mr. !bathos's/ lend de elated to him, that Alr. Hunt, iii his opinion, de served wet! of his country, and that he should have his support and subscription. Mr. Hobhouse had been extremely unwell; he suffered much from the exertions he had made and the imprisonment he had suffered for the lisat nine weeks. He was so very unwell with a severe cold, that he could not attend the Middlesex election, though he had been with in two miles of Brentforil. . This called up Mr. JONES, who asserted that Mr. Hohlsouse might base attended the meeting if he wished. He had actually appeared on the hust ings at Brentfuril; thrre was nu reason a•signrd for Ins absence, though a false our laud beeu a►tempted. —Misses.)

The trial of Major CAITWSIGHT, WOOLEN, EDMONDS, and others, at Warwick, had been fixed for yesterday, and we had made extensive arrange. neuts fur giving immediate publicity to the pro ceedings this day ; hot froth a communication which we received last night from our covrespv. dent at ‘Warwick, we learn that the trial has been postponed for some days, in consequence of the sudden indisposition of Mr. Justice Baal., who, we are sorry to state, has been attacked by the gout. Mr. Serjeaut VAUGHAN also, we understand, who was to hove condacted the prosecution on the part of the Crown, is prevented by illness from attend ing in Court. The prosecution will probably occupy • very considerable length of time, for it is understood that from sixteen to eighteen witnesses will he euroitied for the Cram. Tile case which they are to establish against th. Defendants is the bolding of the meeting at 'Birmingham on the kith of July last; that EDMONDS an that occa lion acted as Chairman, and the other defend ants as principal speakers and conductors of the 'Peeling ; that they proceeded to elect a Repre , variative, or as it was ridiculously called, a " Le gislatorial Attorney" in Parliament for the town of Birmingham ; that Sir CHARLES WoLsELEY was rai-rd to that l ona of honour and of danger by acclamation, and was instructed to demand his seat ill St. Stephen's Chapel. It will be also neces sary to spew that 01. is wise project was the result of previous arrangement among the defendants, or as the law denominates it, of a conspiracy. Our readers need not be informed that Sir CHARLES, no t h at ing any ambition to climb the modern Tern. pie of Fame, vulgarly ycleped Newgate, did not obey the instrectioes of Isis madly coustitsents. For the defendants, Messrs.. DENSIAN and a►e engaged as Counsel tb argue points of law, and suggest questions, but to the (*.lets of the case, and upon points of constitutional lore, she defen dants will themselves address the Jury. The learn ing of the venerable Major will, it is expected, be poured forth very copiously upon this occasion. It is possible that the paramount interest excited in the public mind by the State prosecutions in various parts of the country during the present Assizes, may have prevented the several catalogues of crimes that on each circuit await the stern voice of Justice front receiving that portion of general attention which ought to belong to them. It is painful to 'lntik that the calendars are in most in stances very heavy ; but the circumstance coil neeted with these popular, though often fallacious criteria of public morels, that seems to us must worthy of notice, is the formidable exteneto which on their evidence the crime of FORPERT seems to have been practised. This offence bas been brought to a system so regular, that it appears now to em brace every part of the kingdom ; it is no longer confined to the metropolis or to a few particular districts, nor lot it rest in the hinds of • few des. perste men, laving no means of industrious em ployment, hut it has in its ramifications spread it self through every town and hamlet. and the vast numbers engaged in it are proved by the successive crowds who day after day, ■nd session after session, press upon each other at the bars of criminal juris. diction. So numerous are the cases for prosecu tion, that the extreme rigour with which the crime of forgery once was pursued has of necessity be come Mixed, and comparatively few of the cri minals are now prosecuted capitally. Indeed in stances have occurred wherein the criminals, count ing upon the general horror which some short time since the frequency of executions for forgery ex cited. have so far speculated upon the sympathy of Juries fur their situation, as to refuse the proffered mercy of the Batik of t ogiand, to plead guilty to the minor offence of having forged notes in their possession, and to try the hatard of • pro secution on the capital charge. A case of this nature occurred at time Warwick Assizes on Sa turday last, which will be found in another part of our Paper. Two wretched men, named Mac donald and Clarke, persisted in pleading not guilty to the capital charge. and were couvicted on the clearest testimony. The result of the trial seemed to have had a very unusual effect upon them, for, instead of displaying the hardened villainy which so frequently occurs in our criminal courts, ■nd strikes the spectators with disgust and horror, these two wretches instantly tell upon their knees as if stunned by the sudden violence of the shock. It cannot be supposed that men capable of being so sensibly affected are beyond the possibility of bring reclaimed. and although Mr. Justice Barr sweated to except one of them from all hopes of mercy, it cannot he forgotten that even this one, previous to the trial, was deemed worthy of life by the prosecutors, sod it would be somewhat severe if he were to forfeit all chance of mercy from his Sovereign, solely on account of an injudicious confidence in the humane feelings of his Jury, and that hope of peculiar good fortune which every man feels but too strongly disposed to entertain with regard to himself. At the Lancaster Assizes we find that of 123 priso•evs or. the calendar, not fewer than 43 are charged with uttering forgeries, purporting to he notes of the Bank of England. Mr. Justice PARK correctly observed, that neither severity nor cle mency seems to have soy effect in diminishing tins dreadful and pernicious practice. We hope sin cerely that the issue of the new Bank of England notes will not be much longer deferre* - We have every reason to feel confidence in the zeal and energy of the Directors of the Bank, who cer tainly have spared neither money nor industry for the att•iumeut of such a system of paper money as may hest baffle the ingenuity of the forgers, ■nd the high scientific attainments of the Gentlemen appointed by the Crown to investigate the several plans, and make choice of one, must inspire well founded hopes that money and labour have not been expended in vain. To the Directors of the Bank of England the sttei•ment of their proposed object must be peculiarly desirable, for although in conse quence of their internal arrangements their own pro perty is. generally speaking, secured from injury by the present splein of forgery, yet to the kinder sym pathies of their nature it mast prove highly de. lightful to escape the necessity that now ex ists of punishing for the public good those who venture on it point of such interest to trans gress one of the most important laws that can exist iiinoug a commercial people. Humanity sod po licy alike require • speedy check to the growth of this crime, and we therefore express an anxious hope that not an hour be lost in expediting the issue of the new notes.
