When at the top of Cumberland-street I saw the flash of a pistol. '1 hey 'ran to see what was to do, and I saw a man in his shirt sleft•ves and a (Lirk co . loured waistcoat say, " My lads, if you don't disperse, fire again." lie fired -again, - and woonded Josepli Jone.. II) tit, thigh. Cross-examioed.—The than in the hat did this : i had seen hint before several times. Thu flash of the pistol tame from the gata et-window; the win.;ow looked into Deansgate, and Heansgate, at the top of CuCumborl itid s rect. I cool(' lit there see what was done from the window. I heard the report, and saw the flash as comiug front that window ; I toold not see SC I;o1 fired. i mould unly see a flash. I saw about six people at the top of Parliament-street. The door of the house comes into D,-ntsgate, hilt the garret-window was in Queen-street. The flash carne round ill(' corner of the house, I iralllethatoly ran forward to see what was to be done. Deans pie was very tioirt at this time. I saes no persons besides -ourselves nearer the house than those in Pal liament-street. 1 feet several others c:oeing in this direction. The people in - Parliament-street had nothing to do with this !loose that I knew of. Parliament street was ihirty or forty - yards higher up than Queen-street. Winn i got rap there was 1111hUll V th,re, anti when the prisoner said, " If you don't dismiss," &c.. i sti'pose he was speaking to us. We were pass iag by. I saw nobody nearer the house than Pirliament st reel besides ourselves. I s aw' nobody at all between Cum berkrol-street and Queen-street. Our party did t.ot sum, still, hut kept going forwards. I don't know whom the man tint of the, window was speaking to. I did not notice the window. I Isnew the prisoner very well. I tniticed his face Ss Itch he spoke through the window. The street was' perfect ly quiet, and I saw nothingohine a ither at the house or the Loop. Ido not know who was with Thomas.lones, lint Con stantine. I heard nothing said abutt blank eartn&es, and nn t ra.on whatever given for this firing. He was tiring at anyhm:y. I had been at the Masons' Arms in Dllll),gatr, and was going home with girls to Hank-top. After this I came into Des nsgat e, and was going home wit It Joseph Jones. The Mason's Arms was in Deansgate. Several otlars were with us, whom I have named. They were not drunk. Seve ral of t lived in Fit et-street, and one in Lombard street. Elivaheth Leigh lived at Ni,. 23, Queen-street, and was a n!arried woman. My ho-band is a weaver. Ott the 2d Oct. on Saturday night, I was standing at my door between 12 and 1 o'clock. I saw (looking down the • street) the prisoner look ing out (if a window'. He leaned through it : I and another wo man were talking about * him, and the woman said that her little girl had told her that he '(the prisoner) bad been mak ing an uproar in Deansgate. I said all was quiet, and imme diately the prisoner fired through the window. I then went down and locked the door. He fired again, and then I went down the street. I then sail: (when !war the bottom of the _street, under the lamp nearly) the prisoner break the harp. The people asked me not to go that road, and I turned back .again. I then went round by Ilrazentiose-street into Deans gate, and then found Deansgate all in an uproar. - I went among them, and the Watch and Ward were crying " For shame" at his firing. I came back, and saw the man who was wounded in his thigh. The man shouted through the win dow, but what he said I cannot say. I knew the prisoner, and I am satisfied that it was he who fired through the win dow. It was light enough to enable me to see. I saw no erowd, and no disturbance. Deansgate is always thronged With people passing and repassing un Saturday night. Cross-examined—l myself lire in the middle of Queen street; my husband was not at home. The Woman I spoke to was called Mrs. fleslop. I can undertake to say that the firing came from the prisoner's house She was standing the door waiting for her boy, and had been out ironing.— This soo of mine went to Laucashire Assizes. She did not know . . ..... fur what he went. She did nut know whether it was to pre fer a Bill azainst the Yeomanry. He w ,, uld not tell me, al- Cloud) Tasked him. Upon m oath, Ido not know for what purpose he went. He went with somebody, but Ido nut now recollect his name, and proceeded by the co:Lch. The Gen tleman with 'whom he went paid his expences. I do not - know whether he was Manchester Gentleman et* not ; I have seen the Ge7itleinan once since only. Tie Gentleman asked Hoy sou to go, but he did not tell me for what purpose. My sun went to London, and was in the carriage with Mr. Hunt. My .son went off in the night, He is a cal d-hor, and :lad half-a•guinea a-week. My son went yes terday to London, and the saute ;.arty took him up as before. Ido not know who paid his fare. He was at the Albion yes day. I don't know whether Mr. Harmer was there or not.— I let my son go, b ecause I t hi n k h e will tin better for himself. What is he gone for ? Is he to be Secretary of State ?—tio, Sir ; to get his living. I went to look for my son in Deansgate on the night of the 2d of October. I believe he was at the Talbot. Idl not know who took him there. He slept. there all night. Ido not know what he was there for. I thought it wits nothing to me, altlitmgh I am his mother. I cannot tell by what the lamp was broken; but I saw him (the pri soner) throw. something allainst the !amp. I did not hear Lira say any thing; I did not hear what he shouted. I did not hear hint say "If you don't disperse, I will are." There wrre no persons standing, hut passing and repassitig. I got into Deansgate, 1 s.aw some people at the c,rner of Par liament.streel. The people were alarmed. I did not know that the prisoner was alarmed. My son did not go with Mr. Hunt to London. He-examined—My son has been at my house since be was at Lancaster, but not the whole time. It was suggested that •Gcorge Stechshould be called hack, `to ask him if he had not been two years in Lancaster-gaol.— His name was called, but be ditl not answer. Mr. Atkinson rebuked the officer of the Court for his inter ference, knowing that Stec! was not in Court. Mr. Fun Hies said he had a right to do it. He should cei tairily have the man sent for. An - li Howard—l am a widow, and lire in Queen-street.— (She hesitated to kiss the book.) Mr. Milne—Come, hiss the book, woman. She was then examined. I went to the market, down Deansgate, on Saturday, be tween 11 and 12, and I saw the prisoner and another man rflonr,. , vith him. Heard the prisoner say he would blow some one's In,ins ont 4 i said, for shame, for talking of blowing any one's brains out. I went then to the tea-shop, and I saw the prisrer between Mulberry -street and Urazennose-street, with the same man, and a man of Mr. Nadin's, called Booth. They were talking seriously. They alarmed nie very much. I went home and supped,' and -then heard a pistol fired. I clapped lily hands tOgtt her and said, ".Soine one's hurt:' I wen t to the door and saw the prisoner strips, and saw him sire another pistol through the witluw. lam sure it was the prisoner. . . Cross-examined—l first saw the prisoner near the shambles, facing the George Inn. Idu Ma know the man with whom lie was talking. The prisoner mentioned no names, but said, " I will blow (she thought) Mrir brains out." I don't of whom he was talking. When I saw the prisoner at the window it was three qaarters of an hour after I saw Jilin kith Booth. lie was firing into Deansgate, and from where I was 1 could see it Very well. I did not see must than two or three standing by Mr. Daris's door. Ni; one was onthinv any disturhance. I came out atter the first report. I dit: lint hear what he said, but I believe he did say something.-- I think it was after he fired the second pistol. lam pre tty sure of it: I cannot say whether it was alter he. fired the first or scrond, s ' hut I think it was the Fecund. I did not see him at he window befofe ile fried; he fired directly I got there. I don't know to whom he was speaking. tie might he speak ing to himielt. There were sonic pviiple there. There were some windows broken I _went true n. I can't gay when they %vele broken. I believe after the firing the second Mr. Athinsou then, addressing the iench , said, "Do you not co n ceive, Sir, that there is sufficient evidence of a felo nious ;let iu maliciously shooting, to render it unnecessary to prostoce turiticr witnesses ?" Mr. Foulkes—A felonious act ! How can that he ? Do you, Mr. Atkinson, rest your case hen, ? . • Mr. Atkinson—l tut inliessing the Bench. Mr: Foulkes repeated the question. Mr. Wridit (the Ma;;istrate; —I would have you, Mr. At kinson, exercise your own discretion. hear both sides. Mr. Atkinson---I do not wish to dictate to the Court, as to the line to he porshed, but I i conceive no evidence ought ,u be product d on the other side in this stag.e of the business. Mr. Millie (the Cleric).---The man must be aslied for his own account, and hs evidence most be heard. Mr. Foulkes—l wish that all the e;iiience should be heard. Mr. Wri must bear both sides; I must know the in tent of the act. Mr. Athinson--The intent of the crime must lie drawn from the act itseif. It seems to toe, that you are plot to try the man now, but to see whether there is sufficient evi dence to put him upon his trial. Mr. s`. ri4lit—l must I:now tile intent. Mr. Atkinson- - --If cvn!ence is intended to he. produced on the ot per sine, I !oust ;zo on with niy cAair,inations. Wright-1 thirds sit, but at present I will adjourn thi s with W(-aiiesday next at to o'cloch. 1", irt wait, at 4 o'clock, adjourned in consequence until TO TIIE MULTITUDE. LETTER Whil , the now convicted blasphemer was npou his tiial, I forebore all,Comment on his blas phemies, and 011 their purpose. It is not how ever to be expected, that 1 shall keep silence un til all his possible trials are ended, or all his in cessant offrnces concluded. And lam the less inclined to inch silence, knowing that my obser vations cannot and will not influence the Tri bunal, from which his punishment will proceed. The sentence upon his past convictions Will not be-pronounced for nearly a month ; and the prosecution of the remaining charges will not be decided in double that time, Such an interval cop ilot be allowed to pass, for the dissemination of his poison, unresisted and unantidoted , the more eveeirdly, as his trials have answered one of this bold criminal's purposes ; having given a greattr publiei!y to his • opinions - , and a louder voice to his impieties. How know I either, but that in his desperate guilt he will renew them in the interval i I vio late no duty in exposing them ; and it 1 did, an higher duty is fulfilled in the expo,nre, Hot I shall'not attempt to vindicate to yon your Bible. The doctrines of revealed religion► are the law of the land; and, as they mist not be at tacked, they need not be defended. .•I . 01,111 con tent myself with shoving you the consequences of Mr, CARLIICS OpihiOn ' S, as applied to the public interests. IVbetl►er those conseqUenees are his object, or not, I little care ; that ps►rt of the question is of as little importance as CARLILB himself ; while the Law is strong eno;,gt► to punish a had man-4nd to restrain him—we need not be very uneasy about his badness. I look to getions, dispositions are in my scale notning. The blasphemer wanted to take your Bible from you. He avows that purpo.e. He Mthts to de prive you of all fear in its threateuings, and of all hope in its promises. He wants to render you careless of either world .—since, when you have once thrown off the' expectations of future happi ness or future misery, your .calculation of the pre sent will be made by your own finite reason, rather than by the infinite wisdom or God. My good ftiends, were you sufficiently conver sant in history to know that even the wisest, and,the most learned, and the most polished na tions before the brunt of Christianity were--w; t lt all their wisdom and all their learning and all their 'politeness—the prey of gros3est wicked ne'ss ;—►vere yon, I say', acquainted with this FACT ; you would be sensible of the value, the inestruable value, of that revealed religion, ►s;hich has saved modern nations front such crime, and ►+hich the Radical Mr. CARLILE want.: to eradicate. Can he shew you that without Christianity you can be virtuous ; or that, without being virtuous, yon can be happy ?—Can be slim you any posi tive obligation to honesty, except your own feel ings, outsldo of the Bible 9—When he haS once destroyed the authenticity of the sacred Volume, can he shew you any authority for' its precepts ? When he has divested those precepts of their art• thority, can he shew you arty reason tor their be ing obeyed ? And it they are not obeyed, can he shew you any chance of happiness in this world, or in the world to conic Examine this well ; and you will find how.tho roughly, and closely, and consecutively, it hangs together. No happiness without obedience, no obedience without authority;—no authority with out authenticity, uo authenticity without faith. Whoso unsettles your faith, endangers your hap piness. That is my sole object. I care not whether 'Mr. CAI lALE denies Christianity, for the profit of selling his pestilent trash or upon the spvctla t ion of another such subscription as his 'fellow-la 'bourer lioNiE obtained ; or for the more elevated desire of popularity, or for the radical love of Re volution ; or for the diabolical hatred of Christ's religion. I utterly disregard himself a►id his pur poses. But, as some of these must actuate him, let me put them to you in their several bearings, Will you lrizaril your eternal happiness, merely to bring Mr. CANLILE custom ? Will you write your names as Satan's visitors, merely to set up Air. CARLILE as a topping bookseller ? Will you ren der Eugland'a disgrace among nations, merely to make HICHALD CARLILE as celebrated as Tuomas PAINE ? you entail upon your touutry the miseries which France has suffered, merely to indulge Mr.CAht.mn's taste for Reform ? Atuf will you devote yourselves to perdition, merely to gra tify Mr. CAam.c's hatred of your Saviour ? Lay these considerations to heart, my good friends. I will not rlettliu you from their reflec tion by another word. PE Rl' INA X. , On Thursday Sir G. Iit , ,aKELEY canvassed Chi chester for Lord G.

Those of Friday, which were due this morning, have not arri‘ed. The KING held a Council of Ministers on Wed nesday, at %%lia, it is remarked, Marsh 4 Gov- VION ST CYR, the W.* I Minister, attended, and respecting Whose reported n ition not a wl)rd is now said. The Duchess de lianrtY and Made- moiselle continued in the most satist•tctury state, Prince PAUL SCH EttIiATOFF. a-Russia,, Senator and Privy Councillor, arrived at Paris on Tut , sday, The Duke de RAGUSA. (1131 - 31.111 MA ft MONT) re cently went to Vienne, to endeavour to obtain an Indemnity (or the loss of the Estate in the Atis• Irian Dominions, producing 70,000 francs per an num, which was given to him by BONAPARTE. As . might be expected, the Council o f St a t e a t Vi enna unanimously rejected his claim ; but, it is added in The Gazette de France, that the Emperor of AusTaLC, although the lands in question were not in his possession, having been restored to the con vents and corporations from whom they had been taken, had agreed to give the M4rshall,4oo,ooo francs, producin: at 5 per cent., an amount equal to the rents of the estate he had lost. A late report respecting some soldiers having taken possession of the Spanish part ot St. Do mingo is now contradictery ttvo persons who were mentioned as taking part in the afftir having been for some at Paris. The Journal de Paris contains the following paragtapi► :—" It is said that the Prinetss •of WALEs, under the title of the Conntess (hot, has quitted ItKly.. It is supposed that I►er Royal Highness is in Switzerland, and that she will tra verse Fiance." The Duke de RICHELIEU arrived on the Bth instant at Frankfort from Spa. • The King of WIJATEMnERG arrived at DrtSden on the 2d inst. and the next day vkited the .

We have the pleasure this day of adding the 80.. rough of Leicester to the number of those Loyal Cities and Towns who have come forward to stern the torrent of prejudice which has been so strongly poured upon the 'Magistrates and Yeo manly Cavalry of Manchester. We refer our Readers to the Advertisement in the-front of our Paper this day. Our opinions respecting the portant transactinr.s at Manchester have been uniformly the saute, because 'we were well ac , quainter' , rvith the measures which had been taken ny the disaffected previous to the Meeting on the 16( , h of August, and li,iye every reason lo,he lieVe, that the most desperate plans were in t . owentplition among the wicked Leathers of what are allied Radical Reformers, and their deltried followers. Fuliy apprized, dive.. tore, by impattial and indisputable informa tion, of what was going forward, and fully con vinced that the accounts given by I - luNT, and is Ttie Morning Chronicle, and the Old TinteS, were • infamous exaggerations, we 'were sure that the Magistrates and Yeomanry Cavalry would be . called upon to act with firmness and vigour, and we were equally sure that they would not be guilty of unnecessary severity. We, therefore, with the Loyal Subscribers to the .Leicester Address, " re gard with peculiar indignation the eager dispo sition which has in some (too many) quarter* been manifested to overawe and intimidate those employed in an arduous public service, to attribute to them motives of the worst description—and thereby to cast on them en odium of which vve entertain a perfect confidence that they will shew' themselves to be -wholly undeserving." These sentiment* are equally applicable to Government, in issuing in the name of The PRINCS 1111M1.51 . the approbation of his Royal I-lighness on the conduct of those Magistrates, &c. &c. because Ministers were fully aware of all the measures that had been in preparation previous to the Meeting in question, and conseqaently of if the arduOus public service," which the Constitkried Authorities had to discharge. It is highly t o the credit of Ministers, that they have convene , ' Fa" liament at an earlier period than was intendeb • that she subject may he fully.cauvassed by all the Authorities of the Realm, and the People at large have the amplest information in order to detest malice, and satisfy the ends of Justice. \Ve are vcry sorry to find that there has been $ disturhenee between. the Keelinen and the Coe!" o.vners at North Shields, in which the Rmdicais took a part. Government have been, alive id the spirit that has been brooding there as rise' where, and there htt teen a Naval and :\lilit'arf strength provided for the protection o; New casdc . aud the Tyne. CARLILE.—The 48 hours notice, required fa r Lail, have expired, and CARLILB temains custody. The names given in Were SitEnwts,l be I'rin►ter, and STEELE, the Publisher of The Dwarf, but they have been rejected ; and f /i5 rie Mk, it is said, have no hopes of obtaining ii ) / persons of sufficient responsibility to become bi g Securities. CUMBERLAND MERTING.—A Meeting (VI County of Cumberland took place on the 13th ins(' T. SALKRLD, Es-. the Sheriff, opened the ness of the Meet ing,nnd the Under Sheriff read th e Requisition. Eig ht Resolutions, similar to those in all the former Meetings of the same kind, wer e passed and carried, as we) also an Address to th e PRINCE REGENT, an the, bubject of the Manchest er transactions.

The Meeting passed off quiet ly,as must be the caseWheri Crentlemen, and not Rabble RefOrmers, asserti ble, though the proceedings wee certainly marked by that prejudication which has too much pre" ilc d on similar occasions. • Lord WM.

It is stated ti.at the Duke of NorTtto4;" LAND is to hdre the vacata AT a METING belil on S4tiirtlay, October IC, 1 819; Sir JANIES BLAND BURGES, Bart. in the ChAr ; The following Resolutions were unanimously agreed to : R 7. .That theAiends of ReJed Religiiist cannot, - without muclkconcerti,' witnev ixn.‘ipsessant efforts of wicked and designing men, to sulivert the foundations of the Christian faith, and disturb the peace of religious society, by a regular system of the most impious falsehoods levelled at the Holy Scriptures, the only source of true happiness in this life, and which alone furnish to mankind the well-grounded hope of a blessed immortality. 2. That the attacks of these men, which are carried on by the means of publications abounding with the most shocking blasphemies, and circulated to an extent and with a degree of industry hitherto unexampled, have, there is but too much reason to believe, already done great mischief. The vicious lay hold of these diabolical aids, to justify themselves in the practice of vice; the inexperienced are led astray, and the mind., of the rising generation are contaminated. 3. That such being the alarming and real statement of the fact, it becomes the duty, not only of every mem/er of the Established Church, but of every good and pious man, to stand forth in defence of those divine Revelations, on which all our hopes and interests, loth temporal and eternal, evi dently and altogether depend. 4. That, for this end, it is desirable that every possible aid should be given to the publishing and circulating of plain and incontrovertible refutations of the blasphemous allegations now gent forth by Deists kaul At (jests. 5. That, in order to provide the funds for carrying into elect the above purpose, it is proposed that an appeal he made to ail sincere and well disposed Christians, to lend their aid to so nrceiary arid laudable an undertaking. 'l';}at au Association be (tinned for the purpose expressed itl 1 t preceding resfilution. 7 That those assembled at the present meeting Jo accord hig), form themselves into such an Association ; and that all well disposed persons be invited to become members thereof. 8.
