Let the Rich look to the suggestions which we no►v throw out, and let our Rulers put all preventive laws in force, to guard the fabric of the State. Let them resort to a wise economy, the abolition of all monopolies, and a rigid enforcement of the Larvs against all Violators high or low, and then they will please both Prince and PeOple, and esta tlish the Constitution upon soeli a basis as will enable it to bid defiance to all the attacks of lois- , guided multitudes, however large, and however widely spread, and restore the Empire to a state of pristine health.

Wonderful to say, toe complete detection and exposure of the tergiversation, euniradietory doe and odious tnale , oience of The Times, Which appeared in our Paper yesterday, and is copied into inhers this day, have so dumb founded that despicable Journal, that it has not tile power of attempting any defence. Its success, as we h a v e sa id, i s absolutely disgraceltd to the country. It lost its vital spirit, acid sheep-anchor, when it was deserttd by the Gentleman who for many sears raised and sustained its popularity, and th e popularity which it still possesses is ovving to the reputation of that Gentleman, woo is not ge nerally known to have transferred his powei ful talents and acquisitions to another Journal. But the secret is revealing itself every day by the dulness which he left, when the Piper was throw n upon its own envy, vanity, and malivoletice.

(From :Iris's Birmingham Gateqe, 27) MEETING AT NrIWHALL HILL. - The lamentable result of the late Nlauebekter meeting has served the purpose of temporarily relieving the reforniina body of this town from the awkward dilemma into which their former precipitation and over anxious zeal had betrayed them. tint for the consequences. which to the disquiet of this patriot bane, are likely to arise out of their last proceed ings, a succession of public meetings would in all probability ' hare been attempted, in the hope of further cajoling an d disturbihg the minds of our honest and unsuspecting towns meta j)esiemis however as they may have been to stand fair in the e , es af their fraternity at a distance, and equally aware of the effects of learima those who had hr; ii induced to listen to them, to their own reflection and good sense, every idea of a public assembly to renew the discussion of reform must have berm palsied by a fearful anticipation of what might yet re stilt from their former erecting. Withoat therefute incur aiug the danger of rendering. themselves further amen able to the laws of their country, they cauld not pursue the question with any degree of consistency, and at the same .time to any purpose. In this state of dithenity a meeting, ostensibly to consider the Manchester proceedings, otlared an opportunity, too precious to he.neglected, of again drawing our pup:dace front their homes and occupations, odd of re newiag tlyaregh another medium, the endnavour to excite hostility to the pr: i_iat order of thitias. Specious however as the plan may have freer), and great as appeared the desire to get up the business with suitable eclat, we are confident the result must have totally di appointed its Koji etors! they till have discovered to their Mortiiicatiou and dismay, that a very large proportion of those who farinerly ata•ndaii their harangues, are now become both indifferent to them and their speeches, and are 110 longer disposed to consume their time and attention in a pursuit so unprofitable. A fearful misgiving- as to the attend ince at the meeting seas evident from the unusual pains taken to convene it. Sir Charles TVolseley and Worrier were summoned, but the former alone attended.—Sliortly hefore three o'clock Sir Char!es, accompanied by Russell, Lewis : . the Coveutly school master) arid Eilimaids, made his appearance on the groillld in a mourning- coach, " as a token of sympathy and Coln passiou," and immediately ascended the scaffold, the front of which was liana with black cloth. Viliourls was then called to the chair, and proceeded to address the crowd ; his speech, from begiuning to end, was a tissue Of ruisrepresentatiun , and of invective a mast (;,,Verliinclll, the Manchester Authorities, and the Veornatirv.—He was followed by Sir Charles, who stated that lie bad rolused to take the chair from pradential motives—having a proseent lan already hanging over his head— and on that account he begged they would excuse him ; he th e n briefly adv e rted to the pro fessed object of the alerting, and concluded by exhibiting a (Ira wilIZ Of a column or pillar, which he itssureil his hearers he meant to e l ., ct in his park at Vaiiiseley, in " camineineratiou of the htaye Reformers who fell on the 16th of it i ist ;" it was intended to be fo r ty f e et high, and would be placed in a s it mitiun to overlook the road leading to Mauch, ster.—l be Resolutions, little differing from ethers which have pi d thea a , were Oren proposed by Russell, who was followed sty Lewis, and a new orator named Lakias.—Tharrks were then voted to the Chairman, and the crawd eilietly separated about !mil past five. The mourning ceacit which convevedt he Speakers from the field was escort ed by numerous followers to bran. • The number of persons present was certainly very far below any former a.seiiiblage at the same spot, not listand 7 ing the attendance of a numerous concourse from all parts of the surrounding country, who, it being market day, were thus enabled to obtain a sight of Sir Charles Wolselev, an im portant pers , ioage of whom the had heard so much of late. The prod, edimts went off very ti:, Iy; a large portion of the crowd appealed wholiy inattentive .0 the SpeAers, and the applause which accompanied their haranzues was lint partial, even among those who were more immediately around the hustings. We have hefore expressed our decided conviction,thAt every attempt to alienate the minds of our townsmen from that at tachment and :Allegiance to the Government of Itteir.Country, which ha.; ever characterized them, lutist ultimately fail; and that the great b o dy are and will continue 1111 and hearty supporters of that authority under which they and their families hart been drotected. Everyday serves to strentft hen this conviction ; and we have frequently an opportunity ut ohserving a high lone of national pride and tel in voluntarily bursting forth into action. A most striking in stance again occurred at our Theatre on Saturday night—a single voice from the Gallery demanding " God save the King," occasioned an instantaneous re-echo from almost every voice ; the performers al.peared, and the air was sung, the audience standing and not may joining in the chorus, but ;ctually interposing the most enthusiastic cheers hetweea each sentiment ; when finished, an univrrsal encore succeeded, and it was again sung, accompanied by the au dience with, if possiblo, increased feeling. I'Lvetount, SEPT. 26.---As was predicted at the time of communicating its departure, much speculation seems to have been indulged in by the Loudon Prints, on the subject of the small Squa dron which sailed from thts volt at the com mencement of the mow!), oilder the comMand of Commodore Sir T. HARDY. The little Fleet, it will he recollected, was composed of the Superb, the Veogeur, and Hyperion. It is to be forth with strengthened, as publicly rumoured, by the Owen Glendower and Blossom trientes. With the Tribune and the Icarus, said to be now upon the same station, the British force in the South Seas will theft be most respectable. This is as it should be. And when we reflect on the disasters which were expFrienced at the beginning o 4 the late American war, it cannot be otherwise than gratifying to the nation, to find that a little more energy at length pervades the councils of the Ad miralty Board. IVithout rite least disparagement to the rest of the Lords Commissioners, io the person of Sir Gem:Gm CocKauaN may he recog nized a mats of efficiency, whose talents both as a States . man and a Warrior are well calculated to give effect to the measures that emanate from the Department to which he belongs. In refer e nce to the conduct of the gallant Admiral at Wash iiigton, one scarcely knows whether more to ad mire the spirit and enterprise with which his oh jeet was achieved—or the candour and magnani mity with which the less fortunate, but liberal minded Geeeral Ross conce.rol to rite former the o hole merit of projecting that successful attack. Mr.Tooeerrosr, it tell be remembered, nor new Enaov to the Court of Pothigal, went out in the Superb. This demonstrates, m o s t dis t i nct ly, a distMation, in the first instance, for the Brazils. Of the fioure movements of the e xp e ditio n some (-inject lire may probahly be hazarded to-morrow. la-the mean time, it it be hut for the purpose of an nihilating the nest of Inoirgeots, which have "ti ere d so l ong to insult the British flag, end to c ononit strclr depredations on her com merce with impunity, it reflects no small portion of credit on the Govet [intent that has had the po licy to divatch The truly worthy Alderman MAGNAY (it will be seen by his aiverti,ement in our first page) wishes !0 he excused for the present front serY;rg the office of Lord Mayor.

Tne THBATRR.—The absence of Mr. Yomeo front Covent-Garden Theatre, has necessarily oc casioned the tran•ter of Hamlet to Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE, who, in person, knowledge, attainments, and experience, is very well qualified to render the character prominent and impressive. Such was the case last night. He conceived (he part judiciously on the whole, and gave a new inter pretation to several passages, without affected re finement. Perhaps at times he was a little too violent for the reflec(ing philosophic Prince ; but his performance was masked by many incidental beauties, and altogether may be ranked amongst the most dignified and Appropriate representations now on the Laudon boards. He was warmly re• ceived, and several persons demanded the repeti tion of the Play this evening, but as there were no Wolves among them, it was not expect ed that any riotous reqoisitions would pre vent the succeeding performances from being announced. The Queen was performed by Mrs. YATES with good sense and feeling through-. out. We have seldom seen the part sustain ed wi(h such unpretending propriety. Miss THEE was to have been die Ophelia, but, on account o f indisposition, the part was assigned to -Miss MaTrtews. There was a numerous and respectable, if not crowded, audience, and, except during the influx of the ball-price gentry, the Play was heard with attention, - and received with much applause. Drury-Lane Theatre, it seems, is to he opened on Thursday evening, that the friends of the new Manager may have a private view of the improve ments which it has undergone since last season, and of which report speaks in high terms... Mr. KKAN, it appears, has properly reflected on the folly of throwing away a thonsand pounds as a penalty for the forfeiture of his engagement at Drury-Lane Theatre, and has sigr.ified his in. en lion of remaining there till the conclusion of his articles. AIR BALLOUN.---This morning a consider able number of persons assembled at, and it: the neighbourhood of Belvidere House, Pentotiville, to witness the ascension of a Mr. DEAN, who had announced his intention of treating those that chose to visit him %vi!h the spectacle of an aerial voyage, performed in a Balloon filled with rarefied air. The apparatus for carrying this ion) effect was fitted up, on rather an extensive scale, on the howling-green of Belvidere House ; but, It oin the very inauspicious state of the weather, the atmospheric traveller was induced not to venture On his join hey.
