The Speakers supported their cause with much ;7ietv and eloquence; and at the close of the Meeing, which continued till half past nine o'clock, scarce ly any of the assembly had exhibited weariness, or left the room. The warmest feeling prevailed in support of the object, and nearly 2001. were received in subscriptions and donations. We can not,but contemplate the establishment of such an Institutinn with pleasure, under the guidance of men of known liberality and prudence, and whose wish h seems is not to obtrude upins g rouna pre viously occupied by zealous. Clergy and. Teachers of any pions denomination. Every Institution is valuable at this period that is at .all calculated to spread the principles of Christianity, and to counteract the spirit of Infidelity and Revolt that prevails mom', many oc the lower orders. LONDON JOURNIL9. FROM ruE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [Morning Chronicle.] Extract of a Letter front St. Helena, dated the 29th of 111( . 1y : " General Sir George and Lady Binglvarn em •bark for England to-nicirrow on 'board of the Re , ` T e nt. Report sayc', that he' wilt soon retorn-as . Governor. One of the transports with the 20. h • regiment -bat; not yet . arrived. -Count Balmaine • has returned here from the Brazils. We know nothing of. what passes. in Europe, as all the . newspapers which _amiye,to:e obliged to be for svarded to Sir Hudson Lowe, who destroys them atter perusal. Even his own papers are not ex tempted froO this, and whenever he rondesCends to lend one to the Officers of his Staff, it is sent and returned under a seated envelope, in order to prevent th - e•contents being made known to any except t;le favoured confidant. " I believe that I omitted giving you an ac count of the sham fight which caused so great an . alarm in this island. Sir Thomas Retitle, the Adjutant-General, being desirous of gratifying Lady Lowe with the representation of a naval night action, gave directions to that effect to Cap!ain Wanchope, of the Eurydice. Accord ingly, at ten o'clock at night, the Eurydice, after a brilliant discharge of rockets, blue Ste., commenced a vigorous cannonade, which was answered by a brig, and kept up with great spirit on both :mks, to the great admira tion of such Ladies as were in the secret, and to the consternathin of the inhabitants, amongst whets, of Ad&ral Plampin, who not having been consulted on the occasion, and imagining that the • Yankees were endeavouring to lane! in order to carry off Buonaparte, sent his Secretary aud'the Signal Middtipman galloping down the steep side pith from the briars, at the risk of their neck!, to ascert sin what was the matter. Nothing could exceed the confusion amongst the natives, the greater part of whom flocked to the alarm-posts, where they remained until day-light, while the fa voured few who were duly initiated quietly re paired to their ace . ostptned place of repose, laugh-, • ing within themselves et the fears oft heir credulous neighbours. The following day an order was is.itte - d by Admiral Plampin to the squadron under coattnaud, prohibiting it repetition of night eannanetling, witiroldhis consult ii iviug be pre - - viously obtained. Nothin;: :miller is known about Buonaparte, than that be is on the i4lattd." [Morning, Post.] At a late hour last night, a mail from Flanders readied Gift. office. The Duke of Wellington reached Brussels on Saturday last. On the fol. low?ng day his Grace dined at Court, at the Pa lace of Locken ; and on Monday be set out for .'pa and Cologne, whence he will continue his journey into Germany. There is reason to sup pose (says an at tide from Brussels) that his Grace will be present at the Congress which is shortly to be opened at Carlsbad. It appears that all the diplomatic characters, who were lately at Vienna, have set out for the same des tination, and that the whole of the German Powers, as well as Great Britain and Russia, will have Ministers at the Congress. We have already stated that France is not expected to send any Envoy to this important assemblage; and it is now understood th,tt the German Powers in tend to determine by common consent the Con stitutions to be given to those Steites, in order to pt.t au end ti) the discussions which influence some heads at this moment. It is the Wivarian Constitution which is generally considered as calcillated to serve as a model.

AUGUST 10 "A large Meeting was held very early on Sun day morning upon the hills about nine miles from Manchester, in the. neighbourhood of Itoyton dtat4 ;‘,liddleton. What the object was 1 cannot ascer tain, The accounts differ as to the numbers pre sent; some saying about 1500, and some several thousands. They all agree that the islet, were cal led together bef,re sun-rise by a bogie, sounded from 11;e tOp of a bid near Iloyton, and that mall of them'marched to and from the Meeting in re gular nithaitty order. In fact, the training men 'to march in large bodes in that neighb urbood is quite notorious. The training with weapons is not done so openly ; hut pikes, which resemble considerably the ancient battle-axe formerly used by our English infantry, but are much smaller, are sketched an she walls trequently, and spew that the sight of them is very familiar to some of the inhabitants. " You will observe, from the Manchester Pa pers, that Hoot made his public entry here yes terday : report says, be had previously been some time in the neighbourhood it is certain, letters have arrived several days since, directed to him at Manchester. His entry caused a great bustle in the town ; several of the shops in the streets where be and his mob passed were closed for a short time. The special constables were imn:e• diately summoned, and the troops in the different barracks prepared to act immediately, it wanted.. The Manchester YeatnanFy Cavalry were tinder arms in the town all the afternoon, These pre parations were made under the .expectation that Hunt would return in the evening trout Johnsirp's house at.Smedley, to address tile mob, But at 7 o'clock the special constables, then assembled in St. James's-square, were informed that their ser- Om would not be wanted for the evening, as Hunt bad left Manchester on a tour to some of the neighbouring towns. Int,. evening p as s e d v e r y quietly, though the streets were. remarkably full, and at the New Cross a great mob was assembled as usual. " Where lint is gime to is uncertain. Some reports say to . Leigh ; others to Middleton, Roy ton, &c. Most probAiiy he will pay a visit this week to all the to,vns i n the nei g hbourhood, to prepare their mobs for attendilig the gr: at Man clrestcr .Meeting of next Monday It is understood that large bodies will conic in procession from the to to Manchester. It thi, shOuld be the fact, e numbers attending the ,Meeting %.011 be im mense.—Manchrster is almost encircled by popu lous towns, at a shorn distance (Ift ; Mid some of the inhabitants of se%eral are the m .st violent Radical Reformers in the kingdom. For the in formation of your friends in the South, I add the sketch below, which will sties how we are siir rounded. The figures state the number of miles from Manchester. The country bet ween Man chester, and several of the towns is so populous, as to make the roads leading to them bear the appearance oh street's fur a considerable part of the way.

How and .his party rve at Johnson's house, at Smedley, still. Fitton (from Royton) and Knight are with them; no doubt preparatory to the Meeting at Leigh, to-morrow. " In my letter of yesterday, 1 named a person who was called Hull, as' being of the party at Johnson!. I.have reason to believe it is Wordier, not Hull ; but the person of tVooller not bein g known, it is not certain ; to-morrow will clear the matter up. " The Magistrates at Bolton having beard of a party training at.Cockey Moor, in the night be tween Sunday and Monday, went thete yesterdAy morning very early with a detachment of The Paris Papers of Tuesdav last, which were dot this niornifilg, have not arrived.

Grace packet for the immediate discharge of.almwt every person employed in his Majesty's Naval Yard and Hospital here. These establishments are no longer to be kept up. The ships of war on this station are in future to receive at Bermuda what ever repairs. they may require. The .1-Lrn,.Com. ntissioner War/MOUSE, we understand, returns to England in the Active,. expected from Quebec. His 'Majesty's ship Hersey, from hence, arrived at Quebec on the 30th June. His Excellency th e Earl and the Conntess of DALHOUSIE were to l ea ve that place on the sth inst: on a visit to the Falls of Niagara. BIiRMUDA, JUNa 30.—A Gentleman in. the Brisk, from Jamaica, brings the following intel ligence :—On Friday, the 28:11, about 2 o'clock in the morning, commenced a strong gale from the N.E. and veered to the.S.W., which lasted six or eight hours, end did considerithle dau-pgeito vessels on the North side of the Wand:: the ship Henry was stranded at Rio Bueno ; no lives lost ; cargo anti rigging : will he saved. Dainage is done to sundry vessels in Falmouth Hdrbour, to :the amount of 2 or 30001. ; no vessel materially - in. jured at Montego'llair; it did not rage with'much violence on the South side. The Morning Chronicle of this day leas Inserted a very pretty little story from St.. Helena, of n Naval Action at that .place, said to have been got up for the amusement of Lady lowa, and intend ed also for the - amusement of its Own Readers ; amusing it certainly would be but for one little drawback, viz. that it is impossible, and conse quently 'not true—an inference which we are sorry to be obliged to draw, because We do not , - wish to interrupt the enioyment of those who can be gratified by such sports of the imagina tion. That our Readers may be able to estimate the inventive powers of, T he Morning Chronicle, we have inserted among our Estracts from the Morning Papers this delectable account of the tre mendous Naval Combat which afforded so much amusement to-Lady LuwE, and excitedio much alarm in Admiral PLAsartN ! ! ! There was a meeting of Reformers on' Wanes last at Leigh, about 12 'miles front Manchtster. which W;t9 attended by about 1500 or 2000 per- Cons. They were disappointed in their hope of seeing HUNT, WOLSELEY. &C.

" re , s 4 not think it necessary to enter into a cot with that Paper, as the subject is rather a I va t o of fact than of argument.

On Sunday last, from two to three thousand persons assem bled on a hill in the neighbottrhood of Mid dleton, being a-4 im! of muster-day from dif ferent places round that town no arms were used, but they were chiefly exercised in march , ing, Ooe of the parties had a bugle ; which sounded as they passed through Middleton, home wards, on their return from drill. At present no information has been given In a shape to allow the Magistrates •to act, and indeed there will al ways be a difficulty in their way, from the facili , y of dispersing on the alarm being given from the scouts. " Tr is expected the Watch and Ward Act, which comes into operation on Monday next, will be a means of checking, if not of entirety pre venting, these practices which are only carried on in the country, and .:too remote front the Magi ctrates or military to enable them to receive the infornwion, and act upon it, before. the trainers are dispersed."
