LVlathcr Particulars.] Live apooe, Auo. '2B.—With a view to preserve the peaee nt the town, and prevent :thy trunrd too,s proceedings that might arise in consequence cif the 'Meeting called by rie Friends of Reform, the Mayor deemed it right to swear in a number Of Spoeial Constables. The Publicans of the town are always applied to on these occasions, beirig easily found and well known to the regular coostables. A letter having appeare a in the Liverpool Ad rerliser, signed A Publican,' in which it seas s t a red that thov were compelled to act at the peril of losing their licenses, the Mayor took occasion to observe upon this circumstance to the persons assembled, and addressed them nearly as follows: " GENTLF,MEN—I have deemed it right to c upon you to diseltaige that duty you owe to your King and Cottony, at all times, but particularly at this mom , literal period, to stiengtheo the Civil Powtr ; for I am determined, as your Chief Ma. gis , rate, if any riotous proceedings do take place, in consequence of the Meeting; to he held on Ilion. day next, to siroptess the same without having re course to the Military, unless in case of the most etp,o'hire necessity. " I lease observed, with indignation, a letter signed ' A Publican,' in this day's Paper, in which it is stated that you are called triton to act at the peril of losing your licenses. This is untrue, and a gross libel. " No Magistrate of this Borough would so far degrade himself as to deprive a publican of his license, merely because he refused to sect as a spe cial cuollmble• " If the person who wrote that letter, or caused it to he inseiteil in the Piper, he present, I call upon hint to avow himselt:• No one came forward, and the MAYOR pro ceeded : " GENT-Lest PIA—I now declare to the whole of yon here assembled, that no man aced he ati aid Of losing his license in case of his refusal to act ; it is entirely optional. No man is compelled to he sworn, and I desire that such truly will take the oath as arc determined to do their duty." Every omit present, to the number of upwards of !vOO, came forward most cheerfully. Monday, 4 o'clock, p. in.—The Meeting of itbe Friends of Reform is over, and without Any riot or distiobauce. The 'Meeting did not consist of mote than 3001) people, and I am confident alai Dumber was quire as wooly as %vete assembled at ally one pet Ind of the proceedings ; awl the only appearance of alarm that took place, arose trout a boy with a wheelbarrow passing down one of the streets leading into Clayton square, where the Meeting was held : there was then a great rush made down Palker-vreet, but the alarm soon soh sided, and the parties returned, laughing at their tears. Every arrangement had been made by our worthy Chief Magistrate to keep the peace, hot the party were considerably chagrined at the iciest bi-irig entertained that it was at all necessary to call out the Special Constables. Colonel Wteetasts presided at the Meeting. Mr :shepherd pronosed err,kdrlrtss to the Prince rgent, which Wai 'recorded by Mr. 0. Wood. 111 r. Egerton Smith, Edward Rosh! too , and Air.

Much mischief was appreliensled front this Meeting. Indeed it is impo.sihle tole. scribe the uneasiness and alarm which the prospect of it had excited , throughout this district ; an ad ditional 'Troop Dragoons had been ortlsred to the spot, and the.two Troops stationed in Leeds had remained nil day in matching order, ready, to set off at a moment', notice, had their services been required, but happily there was not the least occasion for them►. The assemblage, which was immense, all retired, after the business was end ed, with the utmost order and quietness. HUNT AT MANCHESTER. [PtIRIHER PARTICULARS.] A friend at LitsCalter has applise4 l l44s,lbat Ilont and Iris fellow Reformers arrived ar the Castle about five o'clock on S itorday morning. in the course of the flay, two individuals (Messrs. Chap man and Grundy), who had been received as bail for Hunt and Knight, at our New Bailey, and ceirt led from thence an order for their liberation. rea,hed the county town ; and about half-past nine in the evening they were at large. At 10 o'clock next day, they and a third perion set out from the King's At ms Inn, into chaise, on their return to Manchester, and passed the ni g ht a t Bolton. Bette his departure, Hunt visited the Castle, to bid his companions farewell, and was cheered by the debtors, as lie pasted through their yard. On the following morn'wg (Tuesday) they proceeded towards this town, drawn a distance of more than three miles by both men and women ; and beti,veen twelve and one they made another gland entre through the centre of the town, in the folloiving order :—First, Chapman, on horse back ; then Hunt and Knight, in a chaise, drawn by the populace; next came a gig, which held Sir , C. Woken!) , and John3on, and to which were also eked a proper complement of lininan'tteeds ; fi lially, a gig with a person in it unknown to us, and the liorws which had heels superieded by the itco-legged volunteers. They were attended by a great crowd of their !imble admirers, who, whilst they halted fors a short time oppolite die , Exehange, loudly cheered their darling Orisi:4s'.. Mint rose, and thrusting his head and wilite hat, out of the chaise, whirled it round several limes, in 'narked exaltation, as he uniformly does• when he passes by that edifice. We believe Hunt, sojourns with his friend Johnson, at his chateau,. in Smedley lane. Rumour, with her (busy tongue, hiors at another Meetitig its the course of a fortnight.— (Manchester Mercury.) On Sunday, we understand, Hutt and Knight set out on their return to Mitieb•zster, stopping at the Swan Inn, at Bolton, its order to afford the Political Tinker an opportunity to make his entre into Manchester the next day, with the pa rade and disorder which he courts, in order to give fictitious eclat to Isis ephemeral popularity (tor such it is easy to prognosticate it will prove) among the idle, the dissolute, and the misled.— Yesterday (Moorlay) morning, nbotit nine o'clock, a notice is as displayed at the door of The Observer Office, in Nlarket-street, to invite the rabble to Meet and pry due honour to their Autocrat, who, they seers informed, would make his public re• entry into to‘vo about 12 o'clock. In aid of the processi , n, it is well ki.oan, messengers were sent off in all directions to the neighbouring vii lag, as %tell to the suburbs of this town, in (oder to eon, et a crowd to giace his return. — Unfortunately for the splendour of tie 4,44, about twe,ve o'clock, as it the elements had cOll plied againat the lieforinvili, a eery 'beat y slit ) v%cr vii rain tell ar.tl du:llama tlitne vlhusa zeal I ' ll l AI-ell them to m , rt Ilse Orator.

It consisted of a rabble of from two to 3000 men, women, and led on by Mr. Chapman, on liorsebac4c. In the midst of the dripping crowd came a posi-chaise*, dragged along by a party of ItetormeTs, who had taken Out the horses. It contnins . d rite tondern Jerk Cade, Knight, and istiotiirr Reformer, whose name we (Ii t not hear.

Johnson's; house, in Smedley-lane, where, we understand, he meant to pHs, the Manchester Herald.) * It appears that some pains had been taken in Manches ter to hire a My-vitt:lr, which was intended to have met the ('neat Man, that he might make his entrance more splendid ; hit the coach owners were inexurahle in their refusal to ac enniniodate him, and be was therefore obliged to come for ward in the post-chaise. THE HARVEST. A Gentleman just retnrned from the North gives the followiog particulars respecting the Harvest " weeks ago, when passing along the Great Canal, I noticed that the crops were very greet), and considered Harvest some weeks later than last year. On reaching the Carte ref Fal kit k, I found it folly three weeks earlier than upon the hanks of the Canal. The Strath, a few miles above Stirbrz, and extend ing as far down as Kircardine, is rather earlier, shearing having commenced on the 13th ; and doting last wet k a very considerable part was cut down. Proceeding to Perth by the village of Dollar, I noticed the crops to he about a week later titan nu the Frith from Dollar to Glen far g ; the country exhibiting the same appear ance of lateness as about Kilsyth. On reach iog the Vale of Erne upon the sixteenth, I was astonished to find so little cut down, for as far as the eye could reach (from the top of the coach) the numerous fields of wheat were waving in golden brightness, Such was the state of the crops around Perth and down the Carte of Gowrie to Dundee. When returning in the end of the week, I was delighted to find the reapers had been very buiy, and I have no doubt this week will nearly half finish the cutting down in the Carte of Gowrie, Strathaven, anal round Stirling and Alla*. The crop appears to he a very good one, and the grain filled. As a proof of the superior quality of the grain in some parts, I heard of one gentleman who intends to send his oats to the mill without kiln-drying them, they are so dry when cut down. I have no doubt Many such cases will occur, for 1 never saw the grain so solid before being cut. Some farmers were afraid there would be a scarcity of shearers, owing to the warm weather ripening the grain so rapidly."—(Glasgow Papers.) The crops, in consequence of the late uncom mon fine weather, having ripened rapidly, a great want of hands to cut them down is felt in most parts of the country ; but in the neighbour hood of Glasgow the reverse has been the case, considerably more shearers having appeared at the Cross than there was demand for. Wages two shillings, without victuals. On the moor lands of Lanarkshire the oat crop is seldom ripe before the middle of October ; but this season the harvest has already com menced, and as they have had plenty of sap and beat to nourish the plants to perfection, the farmer is in high expectation of a most abundant and . • early crop. A field of oats at Dalmellington, of the hest quality, belonging to Mr. Wight, was cut down oil M o nday last. We are informed the harvest in that neighbourhood has not been so early for the last 50 years. 11l the lower situations of the comity of Ayr, the harvest is now nearly general, and in some of the earliest places part of the crop has been stacked. New meal was expected in the market yesterday. The demand for shearers is now pretty extensive and urgent. Two shillings a-day without bed and !maid are given. The harvest proceeds with spirit this week, and the crop is in such good condition that it is cut down in one day and Cart ied to the barn-yard the next. Mr. G. lit guitar' had yesterday formed six stacks of excellent wheat, into which he had not put a sickle until Monday.—(lnrerness .Journal). Dr. GARLICK, of Detby, has bad A verdict of 2,0001. awarded against hint, for wtiting Keith chalk on the walls ot that town, to the, detriment Of another professional man. Gaoss birosToa.—Tuesday afternoon a most incorrigible beggar, named James Parry, who is about twenty years old, was apprehended for the fourth time in Holborn, by one of the Officers be longing to the Mendicity Society, with a petition in his hand, and his flesh exposed to view in several places, to excite compassiou. When the constable met hint he was tXpOSI111: his breast to some persons, saying it had hero broken by his father, who had turned him out of doors, 11e was con veyed to the Society's office, in Red Lion-sgeare,. and searched, when three bad shillines and a quantity of quick silver were found in his posses :ion, how which it may be interred that he had comb;ued with the business of beggar the equally lout alive, hilt tlloll' dArgerous profession of lifter inz had mow y.
