THE MARKETS. COIN-EXCHANGE, OCT. 6.—We had a large or -rival of Wheat and Barley this morning from the Suffolk Coast, but very little demand for the former article, which met heavy sale, at Mon :slay's p r i ces . B ar l ey i s f rom Is, to 2s. per guar• ter cheaper, and a large quantity remains on Land, which could not be got off at that reduce :Con. In Pease, Beans, and Oats, there is DO alteration. HOP INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK, OCT. 4.—We have had a brisk Sale to-day for Hops, but we think it is chiefly owing to the Worcester dealers ar riving this morning and making large purchases ; Our own trade has certainly not been so anxious to buy, therefore if we had not had the Isssistance of other Gentlemen, we are inclined to Think, we should have to communicate a dull day instead of a brisk one. Such sales as have been Thade are tit last week's prices. At Cranbrook fair on Wednesday last, hops 'eve nt off very briskly, upwards of 2000 pockets of betir hops were sold, prices from 31. to 31. Bs. a few prime samples reached 31. 10s. Horses were • Plentiful, chiefly of the cart breed, which sold • Cheap: there was a short supply of stock, which Were soon taken off. The weather being very un favoinzable the chew of Belles was very limit e d to the chagrin and disappointment of the of Kent Dandies.

EDITOR---As you seem, in general, to be rupartial in your remarks on theatrical subjects, and not I to be the servile instrument of Managers, 1 be leave to submit to you a tew observations on the extratirdinaly Letter, declaredly from Mr. KHAN, which I saw in your paper and the other public Journals of yesterday. I premise that 1 cannot consider the Letter as Mr. KRAN'S compo sition, but rather as chat of some unskilful friend, or perhaps of the Editor of the Paper in which it first appeared, written under the supposition that a Letter from so popular a character Might natu rally draw attention to his Journal. I am the more inclined to form such a notion, hecatke it is o b v i ous th at the Editor has exalted his own opi nion into the voice of the Public. The Miter .proceeds to make sir. K aAN say that he had in tended to depart for America, and should trot de serve the praises of the Editor, if he had trot learned, through him, that " the Public were dis satisfied" with that intention, and therefore that he b4ll felintiniS bed it. The Letter-wiiier teaches Mr. KHAN folly to repay all the Editor's Praise in thus rendering his Joornal the vehicle of p iblic opinion, or represetos Mr. KEAN as r as h er too apt to give credit to flattery. The opinion of a j Weekly Paper the voice of the Public !! Such is the first bold assertif th the Writer corn- l pliments the Paper. The tl,'tit. o - then makes Mr. KEAN violate truth, as well as modesty, so fat as to say that he " never appeared before the Pon •lic that he was not received with acclamation." Surely the Writer can know nothing of 'he poidie feelings on account of Mr. BUCK 'S Play, and was riot present at the representation of the ill treated Drama of Miss PORTER, d Lady whose talents and virtues are the subject Of esteem and admiratiou with all who have read her Works and are .acquainted with her personal merit. As 10 the praise whit h the Writer instructs Mr. KEAN to bestow on the PUBLIC, that is but an act of com mon policy, as the omission would have been folly in the extreme Well then, the " delightful satis faction," or satisfactory delight, of ouryiug the is ill of the Public, that is, the opinion of the Weekly Editor, induces Mr. KEAN, according to the Writer of the Letter, to think of adhering to a compact into which he had solemnly entered. This " delightful satisfaction" did not, as the Letter-writer says, operate upon Mr. KHAN before he had read the remarks' of the Editor in his Weekly Journal. What a powerful stimulus to grateful recollection is Newspape.i panegyric ! Now we come to the reasons which the Letter says induced Mr. KEAN to-think of going to Ame rica ;n violation of his engagement. " For the last two years his situation at the Theatre had been highly embarrassiog."- . --What were the ent harassments 'l' Did ire not play what be pleased ? Did he oat refaie what ire disliked ? Did be not obtain leave 'of absence when be thought proper, that be might reap a harvest elsewhere ? Mr. KEAN is then made to say, " that even the Press attached blame to him for occurrences which be could neither see nor avoid," What were those occurrences ? 'The Press has a right to demand an explanation, since a charge of ignorant and il liberal censure is brought against it.' Mr. KRAN is made to decline entering into particulars on the score of delicacy, yet it seems that the all-knowing Editor was aware that he had been " an innocent sufferer upon occasions in which be should have been held bla,meless." If so let the occasions be unfolded, that his character may receive due re paration. The subject, Mr. Editor, grows upon me, and as I am fearful of engrossing too much of your Paper at once, I shall, with your permis sion, reserve any farther remarks that may occur to me for a second letter, not doubting that you will readily afford room for the viodication of an Actor, in his absence, whose cause seems to be brought into hazard, and whose character may, consequently, be injured, by the officious zeal of an injudicious Advocate. CANDID US. Piazza Coffer-House, Oct. 5. A plittut Naval Youth on the coast of Kent, who had a few days since provided himself with a post-chaise and tour, to go off with an interest kg and pretty little girl, was most cruelly d;s appointed, by the incautious conduct of a female servant, who snffrred the juvenile hero's letter to fall into the hands of the young Lady' s Go verness; and thus were his ,hopes of happi►►ess blighted for ever. The young Lady's parents were absent: Both parties were, we understand, under serenteen FOR THE SUN. MR. EDITOR—It is certainly one of the strongest delusions whic4ske world has eve r w i tnesse d , t h at so noisnisersiiiiilerl Corporations s h ou ld t hi n k an d act so idly and yhievously respecting the late proceedings at Manehester. It may, indeed, be partly owing to the . misrepresentations of some seditious Newipitpers, or to the audacity of Fac tion; or to the foolishness of well-meaning per sons who reason inaccurately, Hod act weakly. Theie is not any point more clearly established than this ; that great bodies of individuals having no special interest, meeting together for the avower) purpose of general Reform, (and this is the avowed object of all the Radical Reformers) are guilty of High Treason. The Meeting at Manchester, on the 16th of Angtist, of forty thou sand persons, with the avowed purpose of effect ing a generia end ; namely, the Reformation of the Commons House of Parliament, was guilty of high Treason. In short, it is agreed by all the great lawyers ; that every assembly of great bodies of people, with the intention of Reforming the Constitution and the Law, is an overt act of levying war against the King, his Crown, and dignity. The lare.t and tile best writer on this subject, is the late Mr. Justice Foster, in his IVork on the Crown Law. it would be boyish to quote 'cases ou points so plain,, but some of the Citizens, of London have resolved, that the people hare re Tight to meet ; yes, for a laufed purpose; but not for an unlawful purptise. What the as sembled multitude avowed as their object, of Re forming the Parliament, evinced that their design WAS unlawful : the resolve then of the said Citi zens of London is futile. But, some of the Citi zens of Norwich have resolved, that the people have a right to Petition. So they have, if they conform to the Act of Parliament for preventing tumulthous Petitions. We thus see, that the said Citizens of Norwich resolve what is not to their purpose. It such Resolutions had been formed before the Grand Jury of Lancashire Iran indict ed Hoot and others, and the Judge of Assize had declared that they were charged with a very great crime, the Citizens of London and Norwich might have pleaded well-meaning ignorance for their excuse. But, having made and pUblislied those foolish resolves after the indictment of the Jury, and the opinion of the Judge, the Citizens of London and Norwich became highly criminal themselves ; inasmuch as they did what in them lay to obstruct or pervert the criminal justice of the Country. But it may row be asked whose duty it was to Finest the Traitors who assembled at Manchester, for the deliberate purpose of Reforming Parlia ment ? The Law-will answer that it was every man's (boy to arrest them in obstruction of their purpose, and in delivering them to justice. In this case, however, the Magistrates of the district, having already decided that such •an assembly, collected from many towns, for such purpose, was illegal and traiteroos, had also determined to ar rest the Leaders, and to disperse the Assembly. The Magistrates were, undoubtedly, the fittest, as they acted with most deliberation ; and the Soldiel, were the fittest persons to be called upon, as part of the posse comitatus, since they are - the most disciplined. Ihe Law always adopts the• most appropriate means for the end, and justifies the instruments of its own choice, 'as the.most worthy of its protection. Such is the doctrine which the Law Writers inculcate on this bead of the inquiry. It has been holden by all the Judges, that it is lawful for the whole of the King's sub jects to arne theniselves, without any Special Coln mission for so doing, in order to suppress a Riot . Or a Rebellion ; and the great Meeting at Mall- Chester was an inchoate Rebellion. IVe maynoW perceive how unfit are the speeches of Mr. Harmer, who has repeatedly said before the Coroner, that the Yeomanry who aided on that occasion at Manchester, were guilty of mur der, as several deaths ensued in arresting the riotous Traitors ; or it is absurd to say that the same Law which commands the aid of the posse comitatus, will not justify all those who act in obedience to its dictates.' Such, then, are the doctrines of the Law, strengthened as they are by the Indictments of the Grand Jury. and by the Declaration of the Assize Judge: Upon what principles, then, are Meetings of various persons held, to confound those doctrines of the Law, to over-rule the In• dictments of the Grand Jury, and to, set at naught the opinion of the Judge ? The answer must be, upon no known maxim of the Constitution. Are such Meetings warranted by Law I The answer must be, that the ends of those Meetings are un warranted by Law ; their objects are unconstitu-' and their practical effects are obstructive of Justice. Upou every view, then, of stub Meetings of Persons, and of Corporations, their proceedings appear to be unwarrantable, and their intentions to be illegal. Upon what authority, therefore, do• Magistrates countenance such. Meetings, by grantiug permis sion to meet They are told bat the People have a right to meet. For a legal purpose, they may meet : lint, not for ends which ate extra• judicial, illegal, and unw‘rrantable. The very first ques tion Which a Magistrate ought to ask the per. sons ,who apply to him for calling a Meeting, ought to be, what are your intentions ?• As the answer to such an cm - pity, upon this occasion, must disclose pprposes most illegal and un warrantable, it becomes the duty of the Ma gistrate, 'not only to re f use hi s assent to the calling of such a Meeting, but to bind the per sons who appear most active in such measures of agitation, to their good behaviour. Such persons, who - thus solicit such Meetings, are plainly agitators, that disturb the Peace of die Community. Now, the duty of every Ma gistrate requires him to preserve the Peace : and of course, the Law allows to every such Ma gistrate the discretion of binding such agitators to their good behaviour. Among the tbutishun CHUSeS for which such 'persons may 1.4 e boom; to their good behaviour, one is, " it a .person has b een guilty of exciting the people to disobedience to the Law :" " It one person lk its wait, to hinder another from corning to a Court of Justice :"--jitt author or publisher of an obscene • -- / . - or blasphemous book" may alsf good behaviour. It may be now asked, what' ir :the= eitv: which surety may be req !iie.l of s v eh which every sahject has a right to tittiV? Peike, in the general, may b considered as the very op , posite of war, .or strife; Hod partictdirly, under our Constitution, peace signifies a quiet and in offensive carriage towards the King and his peo. ple:—The peace of the King, under the Statute of the 6th, Richard 11. is that peace, and se curity, both for lite, and goods, wkich the King promises to all his Subjects, or others, who are taken to his protection. Btu what security, or what peace, can be enjoyed in such a Country as this, during such a moment, when half a dozen busy persons, (and what town has not halt a dozen bu.iy•bodies), may demand a Meeting, to consider bow best, to pervert, or prevent, the criminal justice of the Nation !

MANCHESTER, OCT. 4. This day Edward Meagher, one of the Trorpa peters of the Manchester Yeomanry Cavalry, anti who was on Saturday night, or early on Sunda" . morning, take+► to the New Barley, nu a charge of having fired a pistol-shot at some persons in Den tisgate, and • thereby wounded two persons, was brought up for examination before the Sitting Magistrates, MP. WRIGHT and the Reverend NV. ETHELSTON. The Court was extremely crowded. On the prisoner being brought into Court, Mr. Miltre, the Magistrates' Clerk, enquired if the persons who were wounded attended to make - any chArge against the prisoner, Mr. ATKINSON (a Solicitor).—l attend here on behalf of the persons who were wounded, ►o make. a very serious charge against the prisoner, being 'nothing less than a capital offeme.—The object of my attendance to-day is for the purpose of get ting this matter adjourned, as (he patties them selves are not able to attend, in consequence of the wounds ; and I shall call evidence before you to show stalicient.cause detaining this man. James Clarke being sworn, said, " As I was sitting in my oWn house on Sat urdvey night, bet ween twelve and one o'clock, I heard the report or a pistol, I went into lleansgate, and saw a flash, and heard the report of another pistol fired front the prisoner's window. Not supposing that they Were loaded. with ball, I went towards the prisoner's house, and was sou❑ undeceived, as I saw a man in the arms of four or flee other., Who said he bad been wounded by a hall front one of tin: shunts. The Watch and Ward then came, and a stone them came thr(mor the prisoner's room window and brohe a lamp on the opposite side of the street." Mr. Wright—Was you there at first ?—I was not there at first. The Watch and Ward asked who had fired ? He said he did. Mr. Wright—What voice said he did ?—lt was the pri soner said he did ; lie was in his shirt-sleeves, and had a dark waistcoat on, and was leaning through the window; lie would bare said something rave, but the bustle was so great then, that we could not hear him. Mr. Wright —Did you know the prisoner before did, and I bare known hitu more than four or five months." Mr. Atkinson—Are you enabled,from knowing hin► before, to swear that he is the man ?—I can swear to l i nt ; he was leaning through the window, and it being moon-light I could see him very %tell. His is a corner house in Deansgate. Mr. Ethelston—How near was you to the Watch and Ward? I was standing with them. Thomas Jo Cies biirigsT;orn, said " Between twelve and one o'clock on Saturday, 1 was going house op Ih•ansgate, and met my brother and four-or five, others. Near the end of Back Queen-street I saw a pistol fired from a garret window, and then another: I c:sn't say whether the first took effect, but the second wounded my brother in the thi g h ; I went up, being at the ti me about five yards behind, and saw my ht,,- ther, he said he seas wounded in the thigh ; I felt, and confd feel the ball, and I found the wound bleeditT much. My brother's name is Joseph Jones." Mr. Ethelston—Did any thing happen before you got up, or did you hear any thing said by the snub?--Nothing hap pened before the fit e. The street was very quiet. We beard nothing said by the mob, but some one before us said, '' yoti d-----d Irish scamp, get in." • • Mr. Wright—Y o u have given sufficient evidence for us to remand. Prisoner, would you say any thing, you hear what is said Pi . isuner—Yes, I hear what is said. Nit. Wright—Have you any friends here—any professional adviser? Mr. Milna—l believe be is not prepared, and wishes it post poned. __ Mr. Wright-- , --He must be remanded. Mr. Atkinson—To what tine? Mr. V'right—l don't know whe❑ you will be ready. Per• halls to-morrow. Mr. Atkinson—That will scarcely give us sufficient time. I have taken what depositions I have in great haste. Mr. Milne—Depositions! If there are any deposition against this man, they must be taken by we. Mr. Atkinson—Yes,.Sir; but allow me to take my own ex aminations. Mr. Wright—l can't say when we should adjourn to. We have had no evidence of the state of the wourids. Mr. Atkinson—l understand they are considered dan gerous. - Mr. Jon.

Mr. Wright—lt must stand over until Saturday. Prisoner yon are remanded until Saturday. The prisoner is a tall thin man, of dark complexion, and is by trade a tailor. Several Members ot the Yeomanry Corps were in attendance; and two of them, Mr. ‘Vithington and Mr. Whitlow, were on the Bench.. . Monday, Two o'Clock.—l presented myself this mork,in g the Infirmary, and was received by the house-surgeon in : a very gentlemanly 'winner, who conducted me to . see Robinson and .Jones, the two persons wounded by Meagher by pistol shots on Saturday evening last. I found Jones itt apparent great , pain, attended with some, degree of lever ; a Hush appearing on his countenance. Robinson looks very pale, and complained of much pain from his wound.
