(From the Dublin 111Uning Register.) The following ic ter has been received by Mattthe►c Jacob, Esq. High Sheriff of Tipperary, in answer to a communication from that gentleman, transmitting to the Irish Government the resolutions adopted by the Meeting of Magistrates at Thurles on the 7th inst. There is also annexed a letter from the Mili tary Secretary of the Commander-in-Chief, in reply to one from Mr. Jacob. Mr. Gregory, Under Se cretary of State, thus gives expression to the opi nions of the Government on the subject matter of the resolutions : Dublin Castle, Sept. 16. I have had the honour to receive and submit to the Lord Lieutenant your letter of the 7th instant, transmitting the resolutions adopter! at a meeting of the Magistrates of the county of Tipperary, assembled at Thurles on that day. The measure which has been adopted by his Grace, of bringing the Civil A utheri; ies of the county into immediate communication with the Commander of the Forces, and the appointment of stipendiary Magistrates for the assistance of the Resident Magistracy, fully evince the anxious desire of his Grace to support, as far as lies in the power of the Go vernment, their exertions for the suppression of the dis turbances which have prevailed in several districts of the county of Tipperary. I am directed to convey the assurance that his Grace will direct his immediate and earnest atten tion to such of the measures recommended by the Magistrates assembled as depend upon his Grace for the present application to the existing evil. I am also directed to express the readi ness of his Grace to meet the wishes of the Magistrates for the augmentation of the police stations, to such extent as may be found expedient: His Grace will carefully con sider and communicate in detail the result of his delibera tions upon the specific recommendation of the Magis trates with regard to the disposition of the military. I am directed at present to observe.. that some of them have already been carried into effect, or are in progress; and none of the suggestions which have been submitted to his Grace will escape his earnest and immediate attention. With respect to the measures which require the sanction of Parliament for their adoption, his Grace will not omit fully to communicate to the Members of his Majesty's Government, by whom the introduction of any such measure must be conducted, the views which are enter tained by the large and respectable body of Magistrates who assented to the resolutions of the Meeting. With respect, however, to the Insurrection Act, his Grace feels that nothing but the increase and extension of the existing evil, and the proved failure of the conjoint exertions of the civil and military authorities under the existing law, could justify him in adding to this communication of the - views of the Magistracy the sanction of his recommenda tion or support. lam directed to repeat the expression of his Grace's confident hope that the efforts which he anticipated on the part of the Magistracy, aided by those of Government, will shortly diminish the extent and atrocity of the disturbances, and at no distant period free the county of Tipperary from the evil and disgrace which must attach to their continuance. The suggestions of the Magistrates, with reference to the Arms Act, will engage his Grace's best attention. The Military Secretary of the Commander of the Forces, Lieutenant Siborn, in a communication to the High Sheriff, dated Royal Hospital, Dublin, Sept. 16, thus explains the views of Sir John Byng : I have the honour to acquaint you, by desire of Lieut.- General Sir John Byng, that he would have given an earlier reply to your letter of the 7th inst., but that as the proposed arrangement for permitting military parties to meet the Magistrates making the requisition at given points, to which they would be guided by constables (who would deliver the requisition, signed by the Magistrates them eelress), is at variance with the General Orders for the guidance of the Army in Ireland; and as those orders were framed with the concurrence of the Irish Govern ment, the Lieutenant• General felt that he could not, with propriety, nduiit of any such deviation hots them without the previous assent of the Lord Lieutenant; but that, hav ing now received his Excellency's approval, he has no ob jection whatever to snake to the arrangement in question, being desirous of affording every possible facility to the Magistrates of the county of Tipperary in the preservation of the public peace; anti the necessary communication hav ing been made to Major-General Sir Edward Blakeney on the subject, Sir John Byng requests you will have the goodness, on your part, to make the plan adopted known to all persons concerned. Captain Dick ESSON, whose extraordinary on charges which have been pronounced " frivolous, groundless, and vexatious," is the son of the late Mr. R. Dtcxruso.u, of Bambro' Northumberland; a Master in the Royal Navy, who fell in the service of his country. Captain D. entered the navy, in the year 1795, at the early age of twelve years, and continued to be employed in active service until the preliminaries of peace between this country and America were signed in 1815. In the con test which preceded that peace he bore a conspicuous part under the flag of the gallant Admiral Sir Grail° x Coca isnaN. After a few months' retirement, BUONAPARTE'S escape from Elba induced him to again offer his services, and he was in consequence appointed first Lieutenant of the Northumberland, which ship was destined to convey the Usurper to his final earthly abode. On his return from St. Helena the gallant officer was appointed to one of the Royal yachts, and while in that command had the honour to convey many members of the Royal Family to and from the Continent He afterwards joined the flag- ship, the Salixhury, on the West India station, and when there obtained the rank of Commander ; he then retired again for a short period, but a new regulation hav ing been mad, , , that line-of•battle ships should have a Commander, or Second Captain, his gallant spirit was again called into action, and he was appointed to the Genoa. His conduct while on board that ship is before the world, and no petty jealousy or acrimonious feeling can, after the late disclosures, tarnish his well-earned reputa tion, or diminish the glory he has so nobly won.—Dur ham Advertizer. \%ICK.—MR. W. SNIITII, M.P.—The able and indefatigable Member for Norwich, \Vat. SMITH, Esq., Deputy Governor of the British Society for ex tending the Fisheries and improving the sea coasts of the kingdom, accompanied by his son, SAMUEL SMITH, Esq., Secretary to the Society, paid a visit last week to the set tlement of Pulteney-town at Wick, when the feuars of the town, asa mark of their respect for Mr. SMITH, who, in his capacity of Deputy Governor, has for many years presided and anxiously interested himself in the active management of the Society's affairs, presented him with a piece of plate of the value of GO guineas. The plate was suitably in scribed, expressive of the deep sense entertained of the value of Mr. Salmi's eminent services in establishing and promoting the welfare of the town. The visit must have been peculiarly gratifying to Mr. SMITH himself, as on his first tour to Caithness, not yet 39 years ago, he saw the site of this large and populous town a barren waste; and where now are erected two spacious harbours, crowded with vessels, a single boat could not ,find shelter. We understand that several improvements are contemplated for adding to the comfort of the settlement, such as con ducting a proper supply of water to the different streets— establishing an active Police—erecting an Academy, &c.— Inverness Courier. THE WEATHER, &c.—Until to-day we have had very changeable and unfavourable weather. On Sunday night it rained heavily, and during the afternoon and night of Monday, the rain fell in torrents almost without intermission. The Caledonian coach was stopped last night in consequence of the height of the Findhorn, and did not arrive till nine o'clock this morning—full ten hours behind its usual time. The mail and Duke of Gor don coaches were also retarded in their journeys. 'We are glad to learn that active progress has been made in restor ing safe and uninterrupted communication on the Highland road to Perth. Next week a new wooden bridge will be coiripleted over the Findhorn, and the whole of the smaller bridges renewed. The farmer has, of course, seized upon the few intervals of dry weather to cut down and secure his crops; but his progress has hitherto been but slow, and many of our friends regret that they have cut a single sheaf, as the corn is less liable to injury from the rain before it is brought to the sickle. Around Inverness, nearly the whole has been reaped and a considerable portion secured. The same remark will apply to Ross-shire, and we learn from a letter received yesterday', that the crops in Caith ness are generally good, and that tl e harvest is now in active progress a ll over t h e county . Th ro u g hout the High land districts of Badenoch and Strathspey, little has yet been done in reaping, and a great part of the corn has been so much damaged that the ear cannot now fill. From this cause, farmers have begun to shear while their crops are yet green and unripe, and about Castleton of Braemar and the upper districts of the Dee, this Bernier resort has un happily become general. In those districts the potatoes have also suffered from the frost. No new meal has yet come to our market, and the old cannot without great die ficulty be obtained at 255. per boll, an advance of four or five shillings,—lnverneta Courier. SWEARING IN THE NEWT SIIERIFF. This being the day appointed for swearing in the new Sheriffs, W. H. Richaidson, Esq. and Thos. Ward, Esq., a grand breakfast was given on the occasion at the Vint ners' Hail, Thames-street. After the lire 0: flst h Id been concluded, the healths of the Sheriffs elect were drank, and preparations were made for going to Guildhall, where the Lord Mayor will meet the new Sheriffs this afternoon, in order to administer the customary oaths to them, previously to their entering upon the duties of the office to which they have been called. At the inauguration dinner, among other rarities to be served up, will be a baron of beef, and a stage has been erected for receiving this truly ancient British dish. The ceremony of swearing in the new Sheriffs took place in Guildhall about half-past two o'clock this afternoon. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. BOW-STREET. Thomas Reed was charged with having some stolen pieces of lead-pipe and several carpenter's tools in his pos session, in Throbald's-row, at twelve o'clock last night.— He was stopped by a watchma❑ carrying the above arti cles, which he said he had found ; but the watchman de tained him. The defendant persisted in havint , found them, and stated that he had never been guilty of any dishonest ac tion. He had invented a dress by which persons could enter houses on fire without being burnt. Far this ser vice he had received the thanks of Mr. Peel and oeveral Learned Solicitors, but a partner had deceived him, and he was now poor. The things were wraps up in a carpenter's flannel jacket. —He was remanded. The Austrian Ambassador, Marquis DE PAL NIELLA, cod Sir BROOK TAYLOR (our Minister at the Court of Berlin), had interviews with. the Earl of ABER DEEN on Saturday at the Foreign Office. The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived in town yesterday afternoon from Widmer Castle, Kent. His Grace, after his arrival, was visited at his residence in Downing-street, by the Earl of ABERDEEN, who had a long conference with the Noble Duke. The Duchess, and Prince GEORGE of CUM BERLAND, promenaded within the enclosure i■ St. James's Park yesterday afternoon. Sir GEORGE MURRAY has left the residence of Mr. Secretary Net., at Stowe Hall, Norfolk, for that of the Marquis of CHANDOS, at Wotton, Bucks. We learn, with great satisfaction, that the differences lately existing between the Head of a Ducal House, and the Heir Apparent to the Family Honours, which originated in an opposition of sentiment on a great political question, are now completely and satisfactorily adjusted It is only fair to add, that these differences never had assumed the appearance of personality, and were always greatly exaggerated by rumour. We wish we could announce that the family harmony was complete in all its branches ; hut we fear it does not yet extend to a collateral connection of great personal weight and re spectability.—Morning Chronicle. WELLINGTON BOLTED On Tuesday week, at Doncaster races, when Minos, Jenny Mills, Wel lington, and Pilgarlick, were doing their best to win the Corporation Plate, Wellington swerved from the course; when a gentleman, deeply interes'ed in the race, exclaimed " Wellington's bolted !" This term being alike applicable to the levanters of the turf, the Duke of WELLINGTON, who stood near the vociferator, was observed to turn sud denly round ; hut, recollecting, and assured that it was the horse Wellington to which the gentleman had referred, he smilingly resumed his composure, amidst the hearty laugh of those who witnessed the circumstance. DINNER TO LOlll3 DUNCANNON.—Lord EBRINGTON, M.P., Sir JOHN NEWPORT, Bart., M.P., DANIEL O'CONNELL, Esq•, M.P., and ROBERT OTWAT CAVE, Esq., M.P., are invited as guests to this entertain ment.—Dublin Morning Register. We have heard the name of that excellent and indefatigable magistrate, STEPHEN O'Mxawarm., Esq. of Kilmoyler, mentioned as not having voted with the ma jority at the Thurles Meeting of Magistrates.— Tipperary Free Press. MELANCHOLY DEATH.—A few days since, a farmer residing in the neighbourhood of Banbury, while drinking a pint of beer, swallowed a way which was in the cup, and so rapid was the inflammation, that he died in a few hours.— Warwick Advertiser. We are informed that there is at present twelve feet of water in Lostiemouth Harbour, where it used to be only nine.—Elgin Courier. An uncommonly large quantity of goods were sold in Bradford market on Thursday last, hut without any advance in price.—Lceds Mercury. An address was last night put forth from the " Spinners'-room," with accusations a g ainst the master spinners, which, we fear, will preclude more than ever any approach to an amicable adjustment of their differences.— Manchester Advertiser. The Herald yacht is expected here in the course of next month, to embark Mr. TURNER. and family, and Col. DAsuwooo and family, for South America.— The former gentleman goes out as Envoy Extraordinary, and the latter as Consul General to the Republic of CC).- lombia. —Devonport Telegrap'i. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 26. _We have no change to notice in any description of grain at this day's market. The trade since Tuesday's mark e t las been generally dull ; our supplies, however, continue imited. THE II A RVEST.—The week of the autumnal equinox, so often distinguished for its boisterous and un settled weather, has been one of the most calm and auspi cious sea , ons for the present harvest. Almost all the wheat has now been secured i❑ this district, and far to the north of us ; and the late oats and barley, as well as the second crops of clover, are every (lay rapidly transferring from the fields to the stack-yard. Another such a week will render the joyous sound of " the harvest home" very general. --Leeds Mercury. DETERMINED SUICIDE.-This morning a most determined suicide was committed by a man named ROBERT Cantos, in the employ of Messrs. DALGLEISII and TAYLOR, the coal-merchants in Scotland yard, West minster. It appeared that the unfortunate man, who was between forty and fifty years of age, had been a gentleman's s,Tvant, but had latterly been employed by Messsrs. DAL GLEISII and TArt.ott as a groom. Ile had addicted himself to drinking, and had been intoxicated for the last four or five days. Yesterday afternoon he was observed to be very melancholy and low-spirited from the effects of the liquor he had imbibed, and waa heard to say that he was a lost man, and that he felt as if he could cut his threat. His observations passed off unheeded, and no more was seen of him till this morning at six o'clock, when one of the men, on going into the stable, di•scovered him hanging by the neck to the saddle-pe t ; against the wall, and quite dead. Fortunately he has left no family to deplore his loss. On Saturday an inquest was held at the White Bear, Kingsland-road, on the body of HENRI- WHITE, an infant, whose death was caused under the following cir cumstances :—On Tuesday evening the mother of the deceased went into the shop of Mr. CARDINAL, oilman, 54, floxton Old Town, with the child in her arms. She put the child on the floor while she bargained for some article, and in a few minutes it was heard to cry, as if in great agony, when it was discovered that it had swallowed a strong solution of potash, which had been placed in a cup on the counter. The child died the next day. Verdict—Accidental death. SINGULAR CONDUCT.—The following in stance of the mysterious conduct of a husband and parent, deserves public notice. On Saturday morning, the wife of a man who lives not a hundred miles from Cripplegate, in this town, was brought to bed of twins. As the in fants were not likely to survive, those in attendance upon the poor woman, at her request, with a view to secure them christial burial, sent for a clergyman and had them named. The propriety of this step was soon discovered, as bath the childen died during the day. A coffin was immediately ordered, which was brought to the house on Saturday evening, by the joiner. At midnight tbe hus band of the poor woman, avowed his intention to take away the bodies immediately. The mother, who, front her sufferings and bereavement, was greatly in need of rest and kind treatment, remonstrated against this strange intention, and actually got out of bed with a view to pre vent him from carrying his resolution into effect. Her cries and tears, however, produced no impression, and her hush trl, in defiance of all decent custom, persevered in his intention. Having put the bodies into the coffin, he took them away, saying he was going to bury them. The circumstance of a father, taking his two children away to bury them at midnight, alone, has given rise to much gossip, and various .rumours are afloat on the subject.— Halifax Chronicle.

THE BORDERERS.—Mr. COOPER'S forth coming Novel under this title is said to illustrate the many fierce encounters between the early English settlers in America and the Indians, from whom they experienced the most deadly resistance.

DODDRIDGE.-The publication of this in teresting work is not deferred till next season as erroneously reported, but is now published. It contains many striking particulars in the Life of this celebrated Divine hitherto unknown ; notices of many of his contemporaries, and a sketch of the ecclesiastical history of the times in which he lived. REPRESENTATION OE THE COUNTY.— Although the rumours about an approaching dissolution of Parliament cannot he traced to any distinct or authentic source, yet our columns of this day prove that both her e and in Ireland that event is by many contemplated as not very distant. The non-appearance of Sir T. 13. LETHBRIDGE in recent publications is, by some, inter preted as a prognostic of his non-appearance at the bust ings whenever a dissolution shall take place; but political curiosity is at present the most busily employed in disco vering who the fourth candidate may be, who is spoken of in the London prints, and who is said to be connected with the commercial or some other interest in Bristol. Con jecture points at two individuals, both of large fortune, and Ex-Sheriffs for the county.—Bath Herald. The bare mention Of HORATIO NELSON-- " Honor est a Nilo"—awakens in the minds of Britons the recollection of a thousand unparalleled deeds of daring, to the immortal glory of the British navy ! ! Yet NELsoN, like "the Thane of Cawdor," notwithstanding his he roism, was not without his share of the weaknesses of our nature ; for when about to embark on board the Victory to fight his last fight, and wreath his brows with immortal honour, NELSON consulted a sybil fortune-teller named WILLIAMS, then resident at Plymouth, and famed for prescient powers, on the probable result of the enterprise upon which he was about to embark. " Take your coffin with you !" was the laconic reply of the hag. The hero of the Nile did so ! If we may believe Captain hlsnwni, Lord BYRON also consulted the same oracle ere he desert ed his " native land,' and her predictions were verified ! See his " Conversations." There is an opinion abroad that the races at Shrewsbury will cease, because the course is offered on sale in au advertisement. We are not zealous advocates for races ; but as the Benevolent Meeting, with its splen did donations in aid of the Shropshire Infirmary, takes place on the Friday after the races, it may still be desirous to support a race-course near the town. Upon the pro perty of the Earl of TANKERVILL E, in the Abbey Fore gate, a course may be planned, surpasoing all others.— Slaretcsbury Chronicle. Although there is scarcely a manufacturing town in the kingdom where so little distress prevails as in the town of Leeds, it nevertheless appears that there has been paid by the Workhouse Board, principally to the casual poor, the sum of 2,2001. more during the first nine mouths of the present year, than was paid during the cor responding months of the year 1828. This fact has sug gested the necessity of an endeavour, on the part of the Board, to find work for the able-bodied paupers.—Leeds Mercury. The fowlers in our neighbourhood have com menced taking larks with nets and a device glass of simple construction. The birds are of the kind known as hill or flight larks. A small bridge, covered with a piece of gLiss, is by means of a draw-string male to revolve ra pidly so a pivot, the rays of a rising sun falling on the glass. Such is the strange infatuation of the birds, that, however distant, they immediately fly towards it, and are either taken by clapnets or shot.—Brighton Herald. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 26.—We have a steady demand for Cotton to-day, and about 2,000 bags bare been sold without change in the prices. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 26.—Owing to an infor mation, our Collector and Comptroller yesterday went on board the ship Helm, discharging a cargo of cotton, Sze., from New York, and se i z ,d 17 b a l es , which, on examina tion, were found t o con t a i n neat ly 3,000 lbs. weiOlt of tobacco. The b a l es w e r e v e ry ingeniously packed round by about six i nc h es d ee p of cotton, and were of the ordi nary size and shape; and, had it not been for the infor 'nation, there is but little doubt that they would bays escaped the eyes of those in authority. SPIRIT OF THE PtMLI JOURNALS. The subjoined letter and requisition are at least curiosities in their way. To ourselies, in deed, these documents bring no unlooked-for information, but to good-natured and credulous people, who believe that every shallow-paced blockhead is likely to be an honest man, from not having " cleverness" to be otherwise, these proceedings at Newark may furnish some useful hints as to the natural and very frequent con nexion between whatever is most minutely mean in the human species, and whatever is most im pudent and oppressive. The Duke of New castle was one of the loudest clamourers about the Constitution of 1688, when a mea sure was brought before Parliament last session for illustrating the free principles of that glori ous revolution by granting a relief from civil dis abilities to the Catholics. His Grace, being de sirous to bring a member into the House of Commons who might act as his political mouth piece, and show the world what signification they jointly affixed to the phrase " Constitution of England," summoned Mr. Sadler to the con test for Newark, and ordered his dependents there to vote for the Honourable Gentleman. Two hundred or so of the electors of that borough, who held property under the Duke of Newcastle, imagining that by the " Constitti. • tion of 168 S" an elector was bound to vote ac cording to his conscience, for the candidate best qualified to represent his opinions, and to pros mote the interests of the place for which !ik should be chosen, gave their voices to Mr. Ser-- jeant Wilde, and in rejection of that great high priest of Toryism who opposed him. The in dependents, however, were not numerous enough, and the speaker of many words came i❑ on the Newcastle mandate. The consequence appears Delon•. The real meaning of the " glor►ous Constitution of 1688," as understood by its wisest and most virtuous partisans, turns out to he, that no elector shall dare to vote for the candidate whose politics coincide with his own ; but, on the contrary, that he must, at the beck and bidding of any Duke who happens to re ceive rent from him for the house he lives in, vote for the man whose sentiments and objects are most adverse to his own, on pain of being dilfranchised ! Is that the letter of the law "as established at the Revolution ?" Is such the spirit of the Revolution of 1688 ? And if so, let us ask, if the revolution was undertaken for such wicked purposes—if our legislators were to be created on such vile principles—would the entire overthrow of such a rotten, such a carrion constitution, be otherwise than a bless ing to any civilized and reasoning community ? The House of Commons has, crc now, enter tained the question of disfranchising boroughs, because the receipt of bribes was prevalent among the electors. How much more essential would it be to the morals of the nation, than that they who attempt to exercise undue influence should be ousted of the privilege which they basely abuse, than that those who do not originate the evil, but are merely the recipients of it,—many of them, from narrow circumstances or defective in telligence, incapable of struggling with the arts of seduction, should be so gravely punished; But of motives for an unworthy choice of Mem bers of Parliament, are there not more than one? Is hope the only corrupt influence which can be administered by a candidate or his patron to the minds of their electors ? Is intimidation one whit a more honest instrument than favour? Is there not corruption in menace as well as in pro mise ?—and what menace so formidable for a future election as the record of inexorable Yen ffeance for the past ? In our judgment, upon the whole orthe transactions referred to in the letter which follows, there never was a case for Par liamentary interference more offensive to the dignity of the House of Commons—more ruin ous to the honour of the other House (should it be passed over)—than this inhuman persecu tion of the constituents of Newark for an up right and independent exercise of their elective franchise.—Times. "NEWARK, SEPT. 2.5, 1829. " The town is in a state of extraordinary excite ment, occasioned by notices to quit, served by the Duke of Newcastle and his agents upon those te nants who declined voting for Mr. Sadler, the Duke's nominee, at the last election. Little knots of people arc seen standing at the corners of the streets, pondering upon the consequences of a proceeding which threatens the destruction of the prosperity of the town. Not only have the labouring classes felt the weight of the Duke's resentment, but respect able tradespeople are warned from their premises, when they have expended hundreds of pounds in the improvement of the property; and unless some decisive steps be adopted to arrest the progress of the Duke's persecution, capital will be removed from the town by numbers of persons who have hitherto favoured the pretensions of the Duke's candidate, but who feel that they cannot longer continue to do s o without surrendering every title to independent character. Knowing that their claim to his favour will only continue so long as they submit to his slavish commands, and that even withholding their vote from his nominee will subject them to the same calamity as that which has overtaken above 200 of their brother inhabitants, a requisition was sent to Mr. Serjeant Wilde, numerously signed, requesting his advice and assistance, which was instantly an swered by his sending down Mr. Charles Pearson, his agent, to collect all the needful information. Im mediately upon that gentleman's arrival, a meeting of the requisitionists was called. A knowledge of the circumstance having transpired in the town, the large room at the Castle and Falcon was completely tilled by the electors, and above two hundred more thronged the staircase and avenues, being unable to obtain admittance. Samuel kristowe, Esq., a resident gentleman of independent fortune, was culled to the chair, and several gentlemen ad dressed the meeting, detailing numberless cases wherein the greatest injustice and oppression would be the consequence of the proceedings of the Duke. Mr. Charles Pearson announced, in an animated speech, the sympathy felt by Mr. Serjeant Wilile fur the sufferings of the people, and the determina tion of that gentleman to stand by his friends in the time of need. This announcement was received with the loudest demonstrations of satisfaction, and a requisition for a public meeting was signed by above 100 of the persons present, and at once for warded by a deputation of 12 inhabitants to the Mayor, who was at the theatre at the time : he named the following day to give his decision at the hour appointed. The deputation were met by se veral hundred of the inhabitants in the market-place, where the Mayor declined calling the meeting. " It is confidently said by Mr. Sadler's best friends, that he will attend the meeting, and dis claim all participation in these disgraceful proceed ings, which, though intended to secure his return upon a future occasion, have aroused such a spirit in the town, as will, there is no doubt, work the down fall of the Duke's influence. " Letters have also been transmitted to the Duke of Newcastle and Mr. Serjeant Wilde, and the greatest bustle prevails in the town, in making the preparations requisite for this important meeting. " The use of the Town-hall having been alsore fused for the meeting, a spacious temporary baild
