" Our Nleeting takes Place in Smithfield to morrow, and you may easily conceive the ahitnt ed state of the tools of corruption on this oecasion. The Lord Mayor Atkins, who it as busy a fool as your Boroughreeve, is capering about like " prched pea upon a dr tim-head," mustering all his turtle-fed forces; and would create a riot, or do airy thing, however ridiculous, to be dubbed a Knight, if be were not remained by orders from those at head-quarters, who are too running, and have too much at stake, to run the risk of losing it to gratify the vanity of such a contemptible coxcomb. lie is supported by horse,jout, and ar tillery; but the Borough-Mongers ttymbie when they reflect that those who wield the sword and the bayonet. as %veil as those who point tlie can non and apply the torch, ore the fathers, brothers, and relations of the People of England, who are struggling as much to secure for them their righ.s, as they are to obtain liberty and justice lor themselves " Notwithstanding all this dreadful note of preparation, I have full confidence that we shall have an excellent and a peaceable Meeting, and that I shall have the pleasto e of meeting my friends, and the honour of presiding again at Manchester on the 9th of August. " From what I can learn of the disposition of the People in the'Metropolis, they ale resolved to conduct themselves peaceably and orderly ; but if assailed, they are prepared and determined to resist the acts of those who may first break the peace. 1 im, my dear Sir, " Your's, most sincerely, " lt. HuNT." SIR CHARLES NVOLSELEY. This Reforming Baronet has written the follow ink; Letter to his Conxtittrents at Birmingham : TO THE INHABITANTS OF BIRMINGHAM. - RESPECTED COL'ICTRYMEN—That when duly assembled, for considering on the best means of obtaining a representation of the people of your town in Patliament, and also the representation of all the inhabitants of the empire'—you should have selected me for the office of him, in whose person you are determined to try the epiesliou of your undoubted right of sending Members to the Commons Houle of the Realm, to have a voice in respect of the laws you are to observe, and the -taxes you are to pay, as well as otherwise to serve you in Parliament—hath conferred on sue an ob ligation, which although the honour of it is most graritying-to my teelings, the responsibilities of it iii! oar tvith apprehension lest they should exceed my power of performance. " Be assured, however, that no exertions of mine shall be wanting in steadily contending for those Electoral rights that you have so nobly, and at the same titHC so temperately, asserted,—rights, Gentlemen. which (contrary to the perfidious in sinuations of those who thrive by upholding cor rupt ion and tyranny) may be exercised, not merely wit hoot tumult, or any species of incon- , venience in a manufacturing town, but in a manner as orderly as an attendance on divine service ; and with no other effects than such as tend to the im provement of morals, and the elevation of cha racter in all ranks of society. " And, Gentlemen, I must add,. that as soon as the Bill which you have so wisely made an object of your solicitude. shall be passed into a law, then, most assuredly, for the hononr and happiness of this once favonred land, those in estimable rights will be so exercised accordingly. " Whet her, Gentlemen, I shall or shall not be acknowledged and received in the Commons -House as your Representative, depends on this circumstance:, whether in the constituted autho rities of ,d he State there be or be not remaining any tolerable portion of wisdom or justice, or re spect for public liberty, or the least desire for the continuance of the Constitution. " It is, however, in the highest degree gratify ing to me, to have learned that in other great towns'there is a disposition to follow the example of Birmingham, in electing for each one Repre sentative, in whose person they shall join in trying the great questiou on which it is obvious hangs our couqtry's fate, for freedom, fame, and pros perity ; or for slavery, depravity, or ruin. " "fist those towns will also imitate yours in the decorum of their proceedings, we truty con fidently anticipate, from the accurate knowledge of the subj!-•ct of Constitutional Representation, which happily is so universally diffused aniong them ; a knowledge nit torally tending to . promotc orticr and tranquillity ; for, by their past conduct, we may be confident they vrdl know tho the huecess of the common cause depends not on . any athrr force titan the force of public reason and virtue the resistless authority of which any cri 'initial faction may be shortly expected to obey. With a deep sense of the honour I have re cf•ived, arid an assurance of my tieing anxious to perfotm every duty your confidence Rath imposed upon me, I have the honour to subscribe myself, respe-ted Countrymen, your faithful Servant, " Wulseley, July 14.

DILEMMA. REGISTIOt OF FA S HION. MRS.-MITCHELL'S GRAND CONCERT.-- , On Mon de/ evening this distinguished Lady gave a Grand Concert at her residence in Charles -street, Bet he-' ley-striate, for the express purpose of having the honour of the PRINCE REGENT'S company. His Hop( Highness arrived about a quarter past eleven o'clock, and remained till half past two, aml was greatly delight - ed with the eniertainment he had received. Among the principal vocal per formers were Mr. Mrs. a►►d Miss NALDI anel SCAPPA, who sting several of their admired airs with their nsu.il excellence. ' The company pre sent exceeded 300 persons of the first rank, dis tinction, and fashion, among whom were— His. Royal Highness the Prince Leopold, two Princes Phi- Duke and Duchess Sa❑ Carlos, the Prriiian Ambas sador and suite, the Danish and Swedish 'Alinislirs, Count and Countess Udall, Count and Countess St. Antonio, and all the nubility in town. Yesterday their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of YoaK • and Prince LRUPOLD, Lis Highness Prince L%TgiIIINZY, and his Grace the_ Duke of V FLU NGTou, dined with his Excellency Count LIENTEN, at his house, Camden• place„ Chislehurst, formerly the residence of the late Tyu:►asoti, BoNAH, Esq. The Duke and Duchess of Leinster and their infant son, the Marquis 64f Kildare, are arrived at their father's, the Earl of liarrington's, honSe, in the Stable-yard, St. James's, from their seat in Ireland.

The Earl and Countess of Sefton and the Ladies Molyneux have left town, for Brighton. Lord and Lady Bernard and family have left town, fur their seat in Hants. ENGLISH OPERA LiousE.—Antong the whimsical transformations which have taken place on the English Stage, the conversion of the Comedy of The Hypocrite into an Opera, is not the least ex traordinery. This change wax presented to the Public last night at this Theatre.— The chief motive, however, was to filing forward DowTos in Cantwell, a character in which he is peculidriy excellent, and in which he fully supported his reputation last night. Allowance should be made for this ,alteration, .which in fact chiefly consists in the introduction of a few songs, according to the limited nature of the License allotted to the Theatre. WILKINSON was hardly less effective in illatncortn than his pre decessors. The rest of the characters received all adequate support flout WiteNett, PEARMAN, Miss CARE'V, and Miss KELLY. The piece Was received throughout with great applause. The Edinburgh audience are highly delighted wi h the performance of Mr. J. JOHNSTONE and Mr. EMERY. WEYMOUTH, JULY 24.—This fashionable wa tering place is daily filling with genteel compny, and several distinguished families are among the late numerous arrival list, viz —Mr. and Miss Tudway and family, M. P., Mr: and Mrs. Peel, M. P,, Major and Mrs. nine, M. P., and Mr. Halifax, in his beautiful new yacht, the Ariel. The former have taken the elegant mansion bate the residence of Major Howard, No. 5, •of the admired and spacious row of the ficyal Terrace. Two troops of the 16th Lancers have Itft Radi pole barracks for Salisbury. We are happy to hear that Lady Johnstone, with her son, Sir George Johnstone, minor, and heir to the Puke trey property in this Borough, intends paying a visit to this town in the course of the ensuing month. On Thursday last this town had the distint.rhish ed honour ot a transient visit from his Royal Highness the Duke of KENT, who travelled front London, the same mortiiing, for the especial pur pose of presiding at the seventh anniversary of the Kent Auxiliary Bible Socier y.— Royal flighness,we fire happy to say, looked remarkably well, and the nrhan , ty of his in,nnirs gave great pleasure. Ile put my at the Star Inn, and soon after three o'clock in the afternoon, retot ned to town to (line with Prince LEOPOLD and the PRINCE REGENT. The Meeting at the Town-hall %vas crowded to excess, and the Society has been aug mented by time addition ot several new sub set ibers, amongst whom we have the pleasure to observe the name w Lord Viscount TORRINGTON, who also contiiimmited five guineas towards (he collection at the door.—(Maidstone .

By their playing, they appear to have ramie considerable proficiency.

The company, too, \vere much atpuse,d,by various novelties, and the few excellent sets-to, which al for-ded more 'diversion than an ordinary fight. The greatest novelty vas the Chartipion,of Eng land, wirh one foot tied up in the handkerchief he had bravely won in combat, with the gout for the first time ; and the next was the game Oliver, who appeared with one aim in a sling . ; both were of course invalided. Atter LEN Nox and Haowis; had opened Ole busi ness with a light lively set-to, LAttr,ixi, thepover ftil Life Guardsman, had a lons with HITCIICOCK, a butcher, but he hit him drunk, and he was glad to bolt. Larkin remained on the stage as it lie wanted more, and Carter was loudly called for int vain ; his absence pioduced alio her novelty. LARKIN AND BFLCIIER.—The hitter has been ill for some months past, but be had the hardihood to mount the stage against this powerful man, and he met with that which was before a stranger him—the loss of a little claret Ills science was hatterolll-own, as the blood from his arm demon.. strated, and When lie did place a hit he was run down. GEoRGE COOPER AND CARTER,--This set-to opened the eyes'of the amateurs to Cooper 's g00(1.• ne•s and superiority over Carter. RicumoND and it. VuncELL made a good bout. Richmond challenged to fight Donnelly in a 40 feet ri ng , i n two months, for 100 guineas. Haßmca and CY'.,Davts also ,made a good set to ; but the next was as fine a specimen of science as ever was seen. It was a fec simile of the fight between them at Crawley. Like their fight, Harmer had rather the worst of it. The matches between Turner and Martin, and Sheltou and Geo. Cooper arc made, the former for the second Tuesday in October, and the latter a week after. The 101. deposit on each was to he advanced over a dinner last nht by each party, to insure the fights. BAR INGENUITY.--Acurions and very ingenious expedient was lately resorted to at a trial int Green • Street, to save a prisoner charged with robbery. The principal thing that appeared in evidence against him was a confession all , ,dged to have been made by him at the Polite-office, anal taken dwell in writing by a Police- officer. Ihe document purpt.rting to conte!in this selr-crimi nating acknowledgment was produced by the of ficer, and the following passage was read from it " Mangan said be never rub Led but twice said it was Crawford." This, it will be observed, ha 3 no mark of the writer's having any .notion of punctuation, but the •meaning he attached to it will be evident from the following mode of printjug " Mangan said he never robbed but twice— " Said it was Cranford." Mr. O'Gorosatt, the Counsel for the prisoner, begged to look at the paper. lie perused it, and tattier astonished the peace-oflicer by asserting, that, so far frost► its proving the man's guilt, it clearly established his innocence. " This," said the Learned Gentleman, " is the fair and obvious reading of the sentence:- 6 Mangan said he never robbed— ' But twice ~aid it was Cranford: " The man was acquitted.—(Caledonian Mercury.) SAILING MATCH.-Yesterday the display of sailing for tl►e Cup and Cover, given by the Pro prietors of Cutnberland-Gardens, drew a large body of spectators to the scene of action. 'line bridges were covered; and the boats collected on the Rivcr were never more numerous. Flags and bawls of music gave an air of gaiety ,to the scene truly in teresting. The prize was disputed by four plea sure-boats under 10 tons. They started front 13lackfriars•bridge about four .o'clock, to sail to Putney and return to Cumberland. Gardens. The wind was fair, and after a fine exhibition of sail ing, during which the Contest was principally be.. tween the Spitfire and Waterloo, the prize was gained by the Spitfire. Cumberland-Gardens were thronged with company, A correspondent has handed ns the following anecdote :—" The lee Jamie Sutherland, whose death yon announced last week, was for some time an inmate and lodger in the house of another pan per of eccent character, Jamie Fairweather, Ivho Was attacked with a dangerous distemper, and Was attended by a distinguished i , nember of the faculty, who had prescribed some pills to be taken at night.
