The Paris Papers of 111oldty lino, which were' due this morning, have not arrived. We stopped the Vress yesterday to give a brief account of the Meetings in SmithGtld and Covent. Garden, with a notice of an irruption of the Lower Radicals of the former place, among the Higher Radicals who assembled at the latter.— There was little difference in the language, and, apparently, in the principles, of the leaders at both of these assemblages; but, however, sotne distinc tion should be made, as the Orators at Covent- G:o den have a stake in the country, and ought to know better than to giveencouragement to ruffians, whwe only aitn is plunder and anarchy. The Resolutions brought forward at the Higher Radi cal Meeting, were all of the hackneyed style, and the substance, and indeed very words, have been echold over and over again at similar Meetings. One Resolution, intended to advise the Opposition to retire from Parliament, was wisely withdrawn, but the proposition shoved that the framers of were ignorant of the duty of a Representative of the I People. The Constituent Body send their Reptestn tAtives into Pat liament, to watch over the nal mini interests, and it they do not attend Parliament, they ought at once to resign their seats, that mole efficient Representatives may be chosen. The great complaint at both of the Radical Meetings yesterday was, that the People are to be deprived of the right of meeting. This the Orators know to be false, as they may hereafter meet, under proper regulations, in such a manner as will allow full scope to the liberty of speech, without en dangering the pahlic peace. This subject was very judiciously treated by a COrtespoildent, whose Le!ter, signed NN ELECTOR ov WEST- NsrEa, appeared in our riper of yester day —77,e Morniiig (hronicle, which has been airnouring against the early Nleetin;.; of Prolia went for surn: time, has asked to-day, why it was nor called sooner ? This change in its tone was doubtless prodoced by the information given to the lionse of Commons last night, which induced even the Opposition to assent to the propriety of acceleratiog measures necessary for the public safe !y. It must be 4 dmitted that Ministers have shewn wisdom in framing these measures, and they have now ou:y to bbew firmness and re,olotion in carry ing them into etrect.—Wc teter our Readers to au article in our Paper thi , day, relative to the Man chester ttatsactions, which completely exposes the falsehoods that have been so actively and it Wickedly circulated }Against the Yeomanry Cavalry, and we have no doubt that more facts will in due time be brought forward to demon strate other atrocious miarepre,entatious respect lug the unfortunate eveto3 t.f the 16 h of August. SonTuwARK. Mee.TlNG7—Ttiii morning, pur suant to a Requisition, signed by several iuhabi t3lVS, H M':etiiig was held in the ToWn HAII of this Borough a t one o'clock. About 500 persons had assembled, anti soon Atter the HIGH BAILIFF, attended by Sir ROBERT WILiON, CHARLES CAL VERT,ESII. (the Members), and several other per sons, entered the Hall. The Woo BAILIFF having taken the Chair, stated the object of the Meeting, and addressed the persons assembled to the follow ing effect :—That they had assembled for a most serious object, anti to exercise a privilege not allowed to the subjects in any other Country, namely, to meet for the purpose of petitioning agP.:nitt the Proceedings now propounding by the Legislature; and as the conduct 'of the Meet ing would be known to every subject in the em pire, he trusted it would be dignified and tem perate.—The Requisition being read, Mr. W.EA TB EltiTONlL,in a brief speech ,atter regret ting his in ability to perform the duties devolved upon him, moved a string of Resolutions of the usual cost ; they were seven or eight in number. An Address to both Houses of Parliament was also read, which were all seconded by Mr. BLACK, who was speaking when our Reporter left, et two o'clock. The persons assembled, with a very few exceptions, appeared mostly of the lover class. PHILADELPHIA MANUFACTURES.—AI a late Meeting of the Friends of Domestic Manufac tures, in Philadelphia, a Committee was appoint ed to report a statement of the productive labour of the city and coutoy in the year 1814, 1816, and 1819. This report has been made and ex hibits a most melancholy laVing off in the princi pal branches of productive labour. Ser , mteen branches are embraced in the report, viz. Cotton spinning, hosiery, thread, silver 'plating, smithing, coach-making, chemicals, batting, carving and gilding. potteties, tobacco pipes, printing ink, book•printing, type foundery, brass foundery, wire-factory, floor-cloth-manufactory. It appears, that in these. " the average weekly wanes, in 1814 and 1816 was D 6 51, and the average number of pet sous employed 4906; the to'al amount of weekly wages, D 31,938 ; ant! an nually to 1)1,660,779 12. IVbile in 1819, week ly wages averaged D 4 95, number of persons em ployed was reduced to 900, whose weekly wages amounted to no more than D 4455, and annually to D 231,660, which is D 1,429,119 less for wages than it was in 1816.—Unless some early change takes place in the affairs of the cotnmunity, your Committee regret to say, that in their opinion, the sufferings of the poor dining the approach ing winter, will far exceed any thug that Ame rica has heretofore witnessed. Already are their many reputable tnanufacturers and mechanics offeriog to work for their bare food, whilst others u nhesitatingly declare, that they have no prospect before them, but to be entered with their families upon (Le pauper list.''

The whole nation has tong with the murder of William Hiles, an infant, stated to have been cut down, along with its mother, and trampled upon by one of the Yeomanry Cavalry. The truth of this story is best toll by the poor woman herself, in the following affidavit, sworn before a Magi- strate : " Ant, Fildes. the wife of Charles Fildes, of 'Manchester, upon her oath. salt h,that having errand to go near St. Peter's Church, on Monday, the ltilh of August, she took her child, an infant of two years old, in her arms, Several of her neighbours were with her at the time; it was, as near as she can recollect, half past one—that seeing the immense number of people assembled at the meeting on St. Peter's field, and the militiay, examinant and her neighbours re turned towards their own houses, in Kennedy-street; that on smiting hack, along Cooper street, she 51W the Manches ter Yeomanry Cavalry coining cp. Examinant, after seeing the whole pass, as she thought, crossed the street from the house occupied by Dr. lianas to Mr. hater's, and when in I lie act of Si), one of the Yeomanry, who, being behind the rr.t, was coming tip the street at a gallop, came against Iler, she was thrown down, and her infatit full fro n t her arms to a distance of about two yards and a halt, and afterwards died from the effect. Examinant catl state nothing farther, AS she was stunned by the tall. She has tern applied to I.y person some time ago, to whom she !ifs related the saute circumstances. " FILDES." This statement of the poor woman was fully confirmed by the testimony of a Gentleman of! 1 r eat respectability (sworn to the facts), who saw the whole scene as she deribe ,doss picked up the woman and child when kn d ocked nhy the horse, the consequence of her crossing at the moment when, as he states in his affidavit, it was impossible for the rider to draw up in time to pre vent riding against the woman. It has been shewn that the missing John Not toll, a weaver front Tottinginn, the vott!trf, tn." , " of sober habits stid good charaCter," alts, , It iii letE home on the Ifith al August anti had not sine'e het n heard of, ,stole eight pounds of iohacco on the 14'1i of August, was taken in the f a ct, hats ple..tic( l gu ilty a t th e Sessions, and was was well known to his family) in the New Ear ley prison. Butt of all the cases, none seetntl so pregnant with atrocity as that of Joel Brown, a young man who has been d, scribed cut and inano( d on the 16:b of August, was taken to the hi firmat y, where he soon after died, THoUGn HIS DPATH WAS coNcrtALF,o, and whose father was said to have been inhumanly obstructed in satis fying himself as to the fate of his son. What is the truth of this story Head the tollowingalli davit of the falter, on the 3ti ot November last Joseph Brown, of Little Moss, near Ashton-under-Line, farnu'r and weaver, occupying his own estate, upon hi. oath, saint, that Olt Sunday, Ike 15th of August last, heariog that his son, Joel Brown, intended logo to the meeting of the Re formers, in Jlitriehester, on the followiog day, deponent for bad his a oiug, and told him if hr did, he should not ever he allowed to come into his, deponent's, hous , ..+ airy more:--•i hat, maivithstanding what deponent said to his son, he, his coo, got up the following 'Doming (the iGth) early, paelied up his clothes, and went oil, at the time telling his younger James, that he would strike up a light and go to 110n,,n ; that deponent has not since semi tutu or heard et him; and deponent believes, that he is concealed somewhere by the Re formers, in cousequence of the great noise Mr. Hunt made at Bolton, and at the Crown and Anchor, about his son having been set y ill used at the I'llll . ll.mi y in Mauchester, and .shoat depomon having been trft:sed seem; him, and of depooetit having seen his clothes hung tip in one of the wards, :old be ing obstructed in se:aching; through th e w a rds o f th e NG,- nary. the whole of which is false, deponent having had every possible attention paid to him At the !oh - nutty, oral been per mitted to go through every place, and search soy ward there he liked ; that deponent lodieves his son is secreted either IM , Bolton or Stocliport, for fear of the falsehood of Mr. ghat being detected. " JOSEPH BROWN." This case, however, does not rest 111,011 the niou of the fattier ; for the son himself, he who was stated to have been so cruelly cot and mangltd and to pare died, and to have been secretly buried, made the following affidavits on the I th day of November last : " Joel Brown, son of Joseph Brown, of Little Moss, firmer, upon Isis oath, saith, that he is 19 years of age, that though he left his father's house early in the morning of Monday, - the pith of August, he did not go to the meeting of the Re formers WI that day lit Manchester; but went straight horn Little Moss to Stockport, where he has remained until this morning, and has emplova himself in weaving tinder Patrick Spears, on Lancashire Ilia ; that he has several times sent word to his father where he was, by his master Patrick Spears, and by one James Pearson ; but he believes they would not tell his father, as they are great Reformers, and wished bin., examinant, not to tell his father where he was, for fear he would 111;11:e tutu go hume ; that he never received a hint of any sort in his lite, nor was he ever in the :Manchester In firmary ; and that it any hotly has said be was either at the meeting in Manchester on the lOth of Angu , t, or ever hurt, or ever in the Infirmary, it is altogether JOEL BROWN." " Deponent further saith, that his master ft equently t;111;etl of public meetings, and that when the day came they must all go or die. He told his master white he came frets, hot his master said it was 'lot so well to tell any body where lie came from. Ilis roaster got him to subscribe to f/ic Waver/ e Pa per about a month. " JOEL BROWN." . _ WEstrmut4s - rett SCHOOL.--The second rehearsal of the Adelphi, by the King's Scholars, took place last evening. The representation of ttie lust nigh: 'teas 50 perfect, it seemed to leave no roam fur improvement. Last night, how ever, the young Gentlemen who fill:A the several characters displayed nets' claims to superior excellence, an advantnge probably de rived from familiarity with the scene. The tiro logue to the piece, which was athnirabiy deliver ed, alluded, with great feeling to the causes which tad interrupted the performance in the test two years, viz. the deaths at the Priticuss Cti,sa- LoTTFI in 1817, and her MAJESTY it) it being the usage of lVestminster School, that no play Should be given in the year of a Roy t 1 death.
