LEEtt i . goispAy i , 1 ottock, A. M. I am just returned from the Meeting on Hoti slet Moor, *Well has been carried on peaceably, and ended without any disturbance. About two o'clock a deputation from the Leeds Female Re form Society proceeded to meet the parties com ing in from florsforth, &c.; and about half-past two large bodies of men came into town from those parts, with a great number of flags, a baud of music, &c. They proceeded down Upper bead-Row, Cross Parish, Briggate, and Mea dow-lane, and arrived on the ground about half-past three o'clock. The shops were all shut up as they passed. The Leeds Committee and the Speakers had previously Mounted the Hustings, and the Female Reformers 'and Flag timers were handed up as they arrived. There Isere upwards of 20 flags, besides men bearing white wands, tipped with black crape ; and two boards, one with the inscription, Patience, the other, Magna Charta , surmounted with 2 bundle of sticks, the Emblem of Unity. The following are some of the inscriptions : On a black flag—" We Mourn for our Murdered Friends at Manchester"—" Hunt, the Champion of Li berty"—" From Cruelty and Oppression, good T.ord; deliver us"—" ,No Corn Bill"—" No ViTool gill"—" They that are slain with the Sword are better than they that are slain by Hun per"—" The Cries of those that are slain have entered into the Ears of the Lord of Sabaotb." " Peace and Good-will to Men"—" Hold to the Laws"—" Ye have condemned and slain the Just, and be doth nut resist you ; and then said be unto them, but now be that bath a purse let Mint take it, and also a sctip; and he that bath no sword, let him sell his garmint and buy one. Hunt for ever"—A figure of Justice, surmounted with crape, inscription " Unity and Liberty."—" We do demand our tights as men, Liberty, Justice, and Humanity !"—A man in tatters, his hands tied behind him, a padlock on his lips, his legs in fetters, a load on his ba-k, labelled—" Debt and Taxes," and bis pockets turned inside out. Inscription, " Britons never will be Slaves"—" A Free-born Engliihman"—" 'to the Immortal Memory of the Refolmers Massacred at Manchester"—" Annual • Parliaments, Universal Suffrage, and Vote. by Ballot"—" Taxation without Representation is contrary to the Spirit of the English Constitution" —A green flag with the Irish harp, and inscribed 1 " Universal, Civil, and Religious Liberty." There were several others, but the confusion in ascend ing 'the hustings was so great, I could not copy thew; and many of them were afterwards furled. When the Committee and the Ladies were arranged, ilr. MasoNmominated Mr. JACKSON, of Barnsley, to the Chair—that Gentle►nan, however, declined, and Mr.MITCHELL, of LiverpOol,went forward and proposed Mr. CHAPMAN, of Manchester, who COB sented to act as Chairman ; and addressed the :fleeting in a short speech, saying he would fill the olfice to the best of his ability, and recom • mended 'bent to pay attention to the Speakers, Mr. MAsoN moved the Resolutions in . a very moderate speech, which were seconded by a person, whore name I understood was WATSON. Before they were read, a Female came forward, and presented a Cap of Liberty to the Chair- Alan, requesting he would accept it from her hands, and that he would read au Address of the Female Reformers to the Meeting. Mr. CHAPMAN accordingly read a few words of the Address : but at this period there was a great agita►ion in multitude, owing to the endeavours of tb.,se who were at a distance to reach the Hustings, and the confusion was so great, that Mr. Mmensee said he was under the uecessity of declaring front the Chairman, that if order was not restored, he must dissolve the Meeting.--A debate here arose whether the Resolutions, which were of a most Unc onscionable length, should be read, or whe ther they should be passed without 7eading. At length Mr. WILLA)/ addressed the Meeting, and entreated them to preserve order, that their con duct might cast a censure upon the oppro brium with which they had been treated by the hired Press. Atter silence was restored, be read the Resolutions, which were 15 in number, and I can only give you a brief abstract of the most important. They declared the house of Commons was any thing but what it ought to be, and had lost the confidence of the People—that Reform was not now a question of speculation, but of absolute necessity—that it is a right of the anhject to petition the King and both Houses of Parliament—that all interference is illegal ; and that the conduct of Lord S1117,100:11 in intercept mg their Addresses to the Throne, was therefore eltogethrr spiri , ed Addresses should be forwarded to the PRI NCE REGENT, preying hint to dismiss those Ministers who had advised hien i t tA) censure the moo' loval, and thank the most dis "l,ll of his Majesty's subjects. In order that the proiecditigi ot the RefOrtheri fitigh e t not be said rd be the acts of unauthorized men, ii was ad viiable that Mel! 8110111 d be elected by each dis trict to watch over the -interests of the Electors, tiltd to mediate between the People and the Sove reign ; that the Meeting rieived with abhorrence the outrage and murder conimitteel at Manchester on the 16th ult., and would never rest satisfied till the perpetrators were brought to justice ; that the conduct of HENRY HUNT, on that day, deserved their strenuous support both in person and purse. The last Resolution invited their Catholic Bret berets to join with them in endeavouring to obtain civil and religious liberty. Mr. MtTctract. proposed a Subscription to be made, on the ground fur the purpose of assisting Mr. 1-IuNT in bringing the Manchester Murderers to justice. This was car ried, and as much copper and silver were collect ed in hats, and handed to the Chairman, as nearly filled a tolerable large bag. The same individual moved vote's of thanks to Sir CHARLES WOLSE LEY, PEABSON, HARMER, DENISON, \VOOLER, CARTWRIGHT, SHERWIN, CARLISLE, and COB BETT ; and it was resolved, that the wishes of the Meeting for his return should be conveyed to the latter. Thanks of the Meeting were also given to the Chairman, the Mayor of Leeds, and the Leeds Female Reformers. The other Speakers were Messis. BLACKBURN and SMITHSON ; the former advised them to forward the Cause of Re form in every possible way ; to abstain flout all exciseable articles, and all questions of theology, as political subjects ought to be their only par suit. The Meeting was disiolved by the Chairman about half-past 6 o'clock ; and the Coma& tee and a number of others adjourned to MORLEY STEER'S School-roOtn,where a dinner was provided for them, to be ready at 8 o'clock. The numbers who at• tended are variously estimated from ten to thirty thoesand ; but I do not think there were ever above 15,000 on the ground. Soon after the business commenced, a report was spread that the soldiers were coming, and a great number scam pered off, and never returned. The alarm was occasioned by a coal-waggon passing over the Moor. I must not forget to mention that the hand played " God save the King," and " Rule Bri tannia," both on arriving and on leaving slit ground. Every well-wisher to the peace and prosperity of the County must regret that these Meetings Are not put a stop to. They suspend business, infect the people with seditious notions, and will even tually vtid in the overthrow of the Constitution; for, be assured, their moderolion is only a cloak. Nine o'Clock.—The Town is quiet ; the Country Parties are returning , home. DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CLARENCE. DOVER, SEPT. 21.—Six o'Cloek, p. Royal Sovereign Yacht, hearing the Standard at her masthead, has just hove in sight, having on board, we understand, their Royal llighnesses the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, who have been expected here for some days past. The Gover nor's apartments at the Castle have been fitted op for their reception, and every thing held in readiness to greet their arrival. Another Letter, same dale.—The yacht, with their Royal I.liglinesses the Doke and Doehrso of CLARENCE is in sight, and will he in the Roads probably about half-past six.—Arrived Hare vessels trout Calais, wi , h Lard SwatutsET, and se veral other pasiengers. 'rue Liffey frigate ig ar rived in the Downs, havi:ig on board Colour{ NottcoTT's Brigade of the Rifle Corps, bound ttit Scotland.—Blows trtilt at East, ACCIDENI"rO EMIL GOWER. (FRdM THE STAFFORDSHIRE ADVERTISER.) !'s'e are concerned to state, that an accident, which might have been attended with far more serious consequences, happened to Earl Gower and his attendants, ou Wednesday night last, on their return from Lichfield Races; his Lordship was accompanied in bis barouche by Earl Grosvenor; on arriving at Tittensor, but a short distance from Trentham, the postillions halted to light the car riage lamps, but his Lordship considering it a needless precaution, ordered them to proceed and not drive through the park, but take the route of the village. When they had passed the iron gates at the back part of the hall, and were come to the flat bridge, of one arch which crosses the rivulet a short distance from the gates, guarded only by stone pillars and chains, owing to the extreme darkness of the night, and the water being swollen from the effect of a thunder-storm which happened a few hours previous, and in ad dition, the bridge not being in a direct line with the entrance of the gales, the postilion who had the tuimagement of the wheel-horses unfortunately did not tqlie a sufficient t urn, but came in contact with the pillar at the corner of the bridge, by which the carriage was upset, and their Lout ships violently precipitated into a shallow part of the water, but providentially neither of them received any material injury. Owing to the vio lent concussion, the horses were thrown into the rivulet close to the bridge, in which part, and underneath the arch, it is of considerable depth ; one of them, a very valuable one, we tire sorry to learn, was drowned ; the postillions both escaped unhurt ; but Earl Grosvenor's valet and Earl (tower's servant who both tell from the front of the carriage, and gut entangled among the horses, were considerably bruised by their plunging, and miraculously escaped with life. We shudder to cootemplate what might h a ve beets the consequence had their Lordships been in a close c a rriage. FOR THE BtiN. MR. Erii . .ing; - -My landlady is a Radicalth ; aria when 1 was a little out of order yesterday, nothing would serve her but she must send for one of hoctoi• WaTsas's Medicines, which she insisted Would radically cure my constitution. The physic aside accordingly- . --" when taken, to be vvell shaken." It happened to be wrapt np in a greasy WO thumbed manuscript ; which, after perusal, I thought worth your, ,seeifig.

DONCASTER RACFS, MoNnAY, SEPT. 20. THE GREAT ST. LEGER RACE. No event in the annals of Sporting has ever occurred equal to that which this race has produced. We hare heard of Plates bring run, over again, and also of decisions by the Jockey Club, but this is the first instance in which the Derby or the St. Leger, the greatest races in England, hare ever been run for twice. This is a race upon which thousands upon► thousands are pending, and we regret that we cannot give a decision, as it would be evening before the Stewards would decide, and in Yorkshire they do it over a bottle.

Extract of a Letter, dated Mocha, March 2, teceived at Boston. " Just after our arrival at thii place, a pirate from Musat came into the Roads, mounting 22 guns end 150 men. His conduct and enqui ries about the American vessels here, consisting of the ship Fawn and ship O'Cain, of Boston, ship EMily, of Baltimore, and brig Syren, induced us to be on tine alert; when the Governor of the port sent fbr tine Captains, and informed them, that as his fortifications were in so bad a state, that if the pirate should attempt any depredations, he should require their assistance in defending it. The pi rate began by sending in bis boats, and took possession of two vessels belonging to the place, one of which was worth 100,000 dollars, and Was towing them off, when we opened our fire on him, and in 15 minutes cnt them up so much that one of the prizes sunk, and we boarded hint and the other prize, and put them all in irons, and delivered them to the Governor. Previously to this action, when we walked tine streets, we were saluted by the inhabitants with contempt and abuse, even throwing mud at us ; we are now on the best terms, and treated with respect." HAVANNAH, JULY S.—(Extract of a Letter.)-- " Fut the information of the merchants, I take the opportunity to inform you, that, by order. of the Spanish Government, the cloths on for eign vessels arriving at this port are reduced from 2 dol. 50 c. to .1 per ton."

CORN•EXCHANGE, SEPT. 22.—Our Wheat trade was exceedingly heavy this morning, and, in ad dition to a considerable quantity that remained over from Monday's arrivals, we had a fresh sup ply from Suffolk, and although a few picked sam ples obJained Monday's prices, to effect sales of a larger quantity, a reduction of full is. per quar ter was obliged to be submitted to. What little New Barley appeared to-day was so interior its quality that the Maltsters could not buy it, but prime samples sold on full as good terms us ors Monday. In other articles there is no alteration. HOP INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK, tir:rr. 20.—We hare a very regular demand for fine pockets, but the Kent ones have the preference, and we think they are about Its. per cwt. dearer than they were day week; there is no alterations in the price of SkiScer, except for inferior samples, and those are certainly lower.— We are scarcely doing any thing in bags. MAIDSTONE, SEPT. 20.—The Hop-picking will be chiefly finished in this neighbourhood by the end of the present week. We hear the mould has not done so much injury as was generally expected, but from !oust parts we learn that. the Hops come down very light. It is thonght by many that the Duty will not much, if at all, exceed that of last year ; better prices are consequently anticipated. The Hops in the neighbourhood of Rye are particularly fine, ard all the Poor of that town are employed in picking them ; but from the low price which the Planters are this year under the necessity of giving for that service, owing to the depreciated value of their produce, it is supposed the earn ings of the pickers will not exceed 5001., whereas in the year 1817, the money paid to the Rye hop•pickers amounted to 2,0001. CoWEll, SEPT. 19.—Yesterday the PRINCE RE GENT Irtntitled his sailing pursuits by embarking in his yacht, the Royal George, at Portsmouth, then proceeding to the Needles, and returning again at six o'clock, A.

The beantitul ma rine villa, late Mr. Mackenzie's, near the Parade, at West Cowes, has been purchased for his Royal Highness's occasional residence, the situation commanding a view of the Roadstead, and afford ing the greatest facility of embarkation. WEDDERBURN TUE PREACHER. —The bill pre ferret! against Wedderhurn, the Preacher, charg ing him with blasphemy and sedition, was yes ter,b,y thrown out by the Gland Jury. %Vedder burn had exercised a spirit, which he designated " the true and infallible genius prophetic skill," for a long time. He some tame ago predicted, in prose as well as in poetry, that in less than three months blood would be spilt in England. TLe transactions in Manchester took place in the in terval, and his followers have looked upon him„ in consequence of these events, which he foresaw in one of his sleeping vi-ions, as one who ranks high in the regions of truth. The charges agaiust him are said to be similar to those which are to be advanced against Parson Harrison.
