Yet, how they raved about 2501. a fragment of, salary .to an able and distinguished functionary, Mr. Croker ! " Three Journalists in Scotland executed the Office of Gazette Wtio # , gratis—the Whigs, the_ economical Whigs, gave a partizan 3001. aeyear for doing the same work ; and they, in their economy, also gave 42,0001., in Ireland, to Collectors of Excise, for doing that, which had been, during all preceding time, done for—nothing And as to ',heir .-policy—see what has lately transpired upon the testimony of Mr. Hay—they staborned a spurious set of Resolutions, libelling the Prince Regent, to be imposed upon the Ca tholic Board, anti to issue to the Public, es the sentiments of the Roman Catholics of Ireland ! ! "There ore two things peculiar to this party: one, that lost for power constitutes their leading principle; and the other, that a thirst for slander forms a constant and uniform resource. For 30 years they praised the Prince; but; no sooner was he guilty in their eyes of having no predi lection, than they turned upon him, and disco vered ia a month, what 30 years' acquaintance ship could not, that his Royal Highness had nei ther talents, principle, honour, nor morality.— " A shot A- day" was the observation of the party, while Lords,_ Commoners, and hired writers were defaming the Prince Regent, " would soon bring the enemy (meaning thereby his Royal Highness) to terms." They set un the daughter in disobe dience to the. father; and one of die perry wrote. the political document which was called the Princess of Wales's Letter—they betrayed private conversation—they published private correspoed ence—they, hired men to hiss the niece in the street, - and to lampoon him in the Press—though the . ), were so tecliy about Buonaparte at die same time, that they bristled up at mice if be were even mimeo! without respect. And all this precious work, snppor ed by orations which described the country as utterly- undone,' and which inculcated discon tent threughout the nation, was done, for whet Becaese the Prince would not consent tfiat they should govern as a party--because lie would not act - ones/e to the (tattoo of their policy—a submis slim) to their terms, This was the real gravamen — they 'lever forgave him since—they have maligned his Government incessantly—they have taught the About eleven o'clock on Monday. night, as Gentleman was going from this town to Dews bury, about half-way froM hence, he heard a whis tle, anti on Int ning his liead, perceived . a man on the bank of, s tli,e New Cut which runs alongside the turnpike I ;+d, who presented a gun at him, and immediately pulled the tugger, but luckily the piece flashed in the pan ; the villain, however, immediately re•primed, when the .gun went off, and the Gentleman felt the ball go close past his head ; but by putting spurs to his horse he escap ed, and returned safe to this town last night. As this Gentleman is a stranger in this part of the country, there is no doubt the assassins bad mis taken their man ; and there is every reason to fear their intention was to assassinate Mr. Halliday, an opulent aad extensive manufacturer, of Dews-, bury, kali° passed along the road a few minutes before.—(For another account of this transaction, see a subsequent column of THE SUN.) The Reformers and Members of the Union So cieties are now acting in a manner well calculated to excite alarm. instead of giving public notice of their meetings, and assembling in the face of day, they prefer congregating at night. - A numerous Meeting was held on Holbeek Moor, near this town, on Monday night last ; butt for what purpose, or with what results attended, umst be• told by those who were in the secret.

[FOrther Particulars.] The•Meetirg at Leigh has passed over much qrrieter than was expected : neither Hunt nor any of the usual itinerant orators were there. The Resolutions embraced the usual topics, ending with the necessity of a Reform in the Commons' House of Parliament, that being the alleged source from whence all their hardships have arisen. The Chairman was a man of the name of BAM ber. There were also present one Henry Bat tersbee, JamesChire (Who was . taken from the hustings by a po,se of Constables, on snme.prinr oinocp• not 51!.an 3000 persons were assembled, aria • . 051 spectators)) and a mats of the name of James Sinethursl, an itinerant Methodist Preacher. -On the aphointment of a Chairman, thirteen females, dressed d icily in white, with black belts and gloves, appeared; and presented a Cap ii ‘vith the word •" Liberty" upon it, and Flag, on which was pi d No Corn LAws," " Annual Par " Universal Star , ige," " Election by Ballot." The females afterteards ascended the cart, and remained there during the whole of the !Meeting, but they took no part in the de bates. Several perStins who presented 'themselves to the ,Magistrates as bail for Clure were rejected, and he was sent off under an escort to Wigan Gaol. The town remained quiet at nine o'clock at night ; but it was deemed necessary to • keep the hussars all night, as the crowd had exhibited great exultation, mixed with hisses , wh en the y were about to have returned to Bolton, and they were therefore'ordered ba‘ck. ANOTHER LETTER FROII LEIGH, AUG. 11. This day there has been a meeting of Refor mers in this town. Leigh is situated about 12 miles from Manchester ; it contains a population of neatly 20,000 inhabitants. The late hour of the meeting, arid the near departure of the post, only admits of a hasty sketch of the proceedings. " The Reformers ,waited until half-past two in the afternoon, expecting the arrival of their celebrated leader, Hunt, hut he was wanting in the hour of trial. A' length a Mr. Battersby, Mr. James Clore, Mr. Bamber (one or the So ciety of . Friends), and a Mr. Smethurst (one of the Itinerant Clergymen), ascended the platform, with several otl►er persons, not' known in the palish. Mr. Bamber was chosen Ch:airman. " Shortly after• the chair was taken, a deputa tion of t►velve women, from the Female Reform Society, made their appearance. They were dressed in white, with black sashes. They were preceded by a flag bearing the following inscrip tion "No Corn Laws ; Annual P.lrliaments ; Universal Suffrage ; Vote by Ballot ;" and like wise a standard, crowned by the Cap of Liberty, which was presented by the Ladies to the Chair man. After the women took their station in the cart, the Resolution antft he Ladies' Address to the Men of England were read. " At this moment the officers of police appeared , and without anyobstrue tion took Mr J. Clure into custody, on a Bench warrant. All was now dismay. he Chairutim left his station, which, (or the remainder of the meeting, was filled by a woman ! The ;gear ifirity of the poOr people dispersed from fear, and the orators were lett for some t,in►e in abeyance."

Yesterday morning, about. half-past six o'clock, a man of genteel 'appearante went into the shop of Mr. Jeremiah Ash, hairdresser, Landon-street, St. George's-market, Borough, and requested the use of a razor for a moment, to cut off some dis agreeable hairs that were growing on his upper lip, Mr. Ash having frequently seen the man in his shop, had no hesitation in lending the insiroa ment ; but, at the same time, offered the stranger Isis own services gratuitously, which, 'however, ne declined. - He then took the r for in his hapd, and .approached the looking-glass, whilst Mr. Ash turned round to get him the shaving-box, Lut, instead of shaving, he pulled off his cravat, and inflicted a - desperate worrnd in his neck. Mr. Ash, on advancing with the shaving-box, forma the unfortunate nian standing against the wall, bleeding profusely, and the razor in his hand, covered with gore. He immediately grasped hire by the shoulder, and sueeeded in throa log Irina into a chair, and shaking the razor from his hand ; he then endeavoured to stop the blood with a napkin, upon which the wounded man, aware of his intention, with a sudden and des perate exertion, sprung from the chair, and seized . the razor, which he was again about to apply to his throat, when Mr. Ash seized his uplifted arm, and, for the moment, prevented him. A ',desperate struggle ensued, in the course of which he made several attempts to cut Mr.. Ash, who, at length overcome, was obliged to save himself by running into the back•room and locking the door. The unfortunate stranger then drew the razor several times across his throat, - and cut the jugular vein, when the effasion of blood was so great as to suffocate him, and he dropped down dead. Mrs. Ash, who was in bed, was alatmrd by the scunng ; she came down stairs, and be holding the shop like a slaughter-house, thought somebody had been murdered, and called for help, when a great mob assembled. The cause of Ilia disturbance being made known, - a sulgeon procured, but be could cm.er no service.

He had carried on the [rosi ness of a master-carpenter in Londoti for a length of time, and the whole of his debts did not ex ceed 300/.
