M_ANCIIGSTCIt The news of the rejection of the 'Reform Bill by the Peers, which arrived by expres- , in Manchester from The Sun Office, at an early hour on Sunday Morning, imme diately spread the:utmost dismay and consternation through all ranks of society there, and considerable apprehensions were entertained on the first receipt of the intelligence that the peace of the town would be invaded, in consequence of the strong feeling that prevailed in favour of the mea sure. Hvpily, however, those disagreeable anticipations were not realized, the news of the rejection of the Bill being received by the inhabitants as a great national cala mity, tell visages bearing the appearance of deep regret.— The streets, front the announcement of the loss of the Bill to the close of Sunday, were thronged by respectably dressed persons and operatives, all mingling together in groups, debating on the propriety of adopting other mea sures in cons, quence of its rejection. To allay public irritation, the gentlemen of the Committee appointed to watch the progress of the Bill at the last Manchester meeting, caused placards to be posted as soon as pos sible, stating that a requisition was forming to the Boroughreeve, calling upon him to convene a meeting of the inhabitants with the least possible delay, for the purpose of presenting a loyal and dutiful address to his Majesty at this alarming crisis, praying his Majesty to take such decisive constitutional proceedings as shall counteract the pernicious consequences which will inevi tably result from the rejection of the Bill by the House of Lords, secure the passing of this important measure into a law, and thus preserve the peace, and ensure the future welfare of the country. The requisition, in the course of Sunday and Monday, received the signatures of an immense number of persons, amongst which were the names of the most opulent merchants, bankers, and ma nufacturers of that great commercial town. The Bos roughreeve, in compliance with the wishes of the requi sitionists, convened a meeting to be held in the Riding school, as the most capacious building that could be se lected for the purpose, which, however, is not one-third large enough to hold one-third of the number of persons expected to attend the meeting. The requisitionists were perfectly aware of this fact, and wished the Borough reeve to hold the meeting in the open air, which, how ever, he refused to do, stating that the conditions on which he presided were that the meeting was held under cover. A good deal of excitement prevailed in the town on Tuesday, and the Boroughreeve was censured by many Ifor not calling the meeting nn a commodious piece of ground, large enough to contain a meeting of the inhabi tants of Manchester. The walls of the town were covered with placards of various kinds relative to the meeting, some expressing the sentiments of the people in no very cool or measured terms, couched in fact in language that fully shows that trifling with the wishes and opinions of the people is rather a dangerous experiment. The follow ing is a copy of one of die placards alluded to : "Britons!—Twenty-one Bishops have voted for the Reform Bill. Had they voted for it, it would have pissed; will you pay any more church rates ? Men of Manchester rouse yourselves I Your country and your consciences call you to discharge your duty. The cry is, rouse to a man and make the cause your own. All strike at, once, and crush the tyrants down.—God save the King." The above placard, and many of a similar nature, it may be as well to observe, which have appeared in Manchester since the rejection of the Bill, did not emanate from the Committee of Management of the meeting, nor do the sentiments expressed accord in their views. The wishes of the requisitionists are to, obtain the charter of their rights by using every legal and constitutional means. Business on Monday and Tuesday seemed completely stagnated, the tradesmen flocked to the news rooms and other public places of resort, and the question in every body's mouth was, " What's to be done now ?" On Tuesday night, after the hours of labour of the operatives, several hundreds congregated in the streets of New-cross, and held what they termed " A New-cross Parlia ment." The subject of the deliberation in which assembly was, as to the propriety of compelling the masters to give the men a holiday, in order that- an opportunity might lie afforded them of attending the meeting. They at length proceeded from the place of meeting, in a body, to the house of Mr. Hugh Birley (an opulent spinner, who signalized himself as Commander of the yeomanry, on the ever memorable 16th of August, 1819), and having extorted a promise from him that his men should he allowed to attend the meeting, went peace ably, on similar errands, to other masters, from whom also they elicited a promise of the same nature. In the course of Tuesday the following address, under the title of " What is to be done now ?" issued fro m the Press of the Manchester Times Newspaper Office, and was widely and speedily circulated all over the town. It is from the pen of Mr. Prentice:— What is to be done now, is the question which every one asks, and it is important that all should be agreed as to the answer. 1. The King may throw into the House of Lords an addition of patriotic Members, to counterbalance the votes of the Tory rds who were created by his brother and father. If his Ma jesty do not venture to follow this course, there are other means of inducing them to listen to the demands of the people. 2. It is probable that the Lords,have rejected the Reform Bill ; from a belief that the demand for it was the result of a temporary excitement. The duty of the people then is to show that their attachment to the cause of Reform is unabated, and quietly to tell their Lordships that Reform they will have. This grave and sober determination may induce their Lordships to re-consider their verdict, and to yield to necessity as they did on the Catholic question. 3. If they continue obstinate, every Lord, and every one of his connections who holds office under Government, such as the Lords-Lieutenants of counties, &c. may be dismissed, to mark the determination of the King to have the Bill passed. 4. Should they still continue obstinately opposed to the will of the King, the House of Commons, and the people, his Majesty may exercise his prerogative of withholding writs from the de cayed and rotten boroughs ; and issuing writs to the populous towns. This, many good lawyers say, would be a strictly con stitutional exercise of the prerogative, and if the people also de clare it to be good law, who shall dispute its legality ? 5. If the Ministers are forced out of office, and the Peelsitind Wellingtons take their place,one other remedy remains. Th e people cannot legally combine to refuse the payment of taxes, but each man may say to himself, " I will pay none. Let them levy on my goods if they will, but I will pay them no money." If all fail ; if after all peaceable, legal, and constitutional means are tried, and tried in vain ; if a Government opposed to the ex tension of popular rights, attempt by force to suppress the public voice, and subject men to punishment for demanding justice, then, but not till then, other means must be tried, and these means the writer of this will not be deterred from pointing out, though his head should be the sacrifice of his temerity. But our present course is clear before us. The King and his Ministers are bound to stand by a peaceable and orderly people; they are also bound to take part against all who, by acts of inti midation and violence, endeavour to obtain that which ought to be sought only by legal and constitutional means. Let every man, therefore, feel that on the preser vation of the public peace depends the success of this cause. If the people are true to themselves; if they avoid all acts of vio lence; if they at the same time maintain the public _peace and demand their rights, who can withstand them? The cause is a good cause and must prevail. Inhabitants of Manchester! The Boroughreeve and Constables have called you to attend a public meeting, to consider the pro priety of addressing his Majesty at this alarming crisis, and " as suring him of your unshaken determination to give to him and his present Government all the support in your power, and also imploring his Majesty to take such decisive constitutional pro ceedings as shall counteract the pernicious consequences which may result from the rejection of the Reform Bill." Attend and give your support to the constituted authorities in this patriotic COMM The advocates of the borouglimongers were also active in issuing addresses against the Bill on Tuesday. Mr. Sowler, the printer of a Tory Paper, and a decided enemy of the Bill, took the pains to republish, in the shape of a the speech of his Grace the A rc hbi s h op of posting-b ill, Canterbur yas delivered by that Prelate in the House of Peers. It turned out, however,. that the w ort h y gentle. man might' have spared himself the labour, f or t h e bill poster was followed by several sacrilegious advocates of Reform, who, sans cerentonze, pulled th . e . paper s d own as soon tom. nas s they were put up, and tore his Grace' s speec h t MEETING OF THE RE Q UISITIONISTS. At five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon the gentleme n W h o had signed the requisition met at the Town-hall, fur the purpose of framing the petition and resolutions intended for adoption at the great meeting ; Tlloms POT TER , E q. ,. in the Chair. Considerable discussion arose out of framing the resolutions, some of the meeting being desirous th a t the resolutions should be couched in stronger and more decided terms than those produced, but t h ey were ulti ma t e ly agreed upon to the s atisfaction o f all pre sent. A deputation of the Huntites from the Political Council waited upon the meeting, to request for th a t b o d y a copy of th e i nten d e d reso lutions, which, if they met the approleation of the Operatives' Union, they should be happy to support. The deputation stated that dc_ potations from the Political Unions of Bolton, Ashton, Stochport, and other places ' we re then in Council, and did not know wh a t course to pursue, until they knew the sen timents of the Boroughrceve's meeting. The CHAIRMAN said there could be no objection to fur- Ziay, 4t6 •. P 42 0 ,9 • •Ij (-- _ • • ,„ • ~ • 1 (Z 4, ~ t i a • .4 11 41, hr .; * . .. ~ \ . ....._ - - Itirt.

He repiced, therefore, that it had been greh' tot onc e again to asaettrfale on that field in the same good dud righteous cause as had distirtnithed their forefathers, be reise it was one more addition ml I feniGtlsVation to the many that eiere.happening daily, that in civil as Welt ne military metiers theie here the most extraordinary coincide/es:in The first battle in rne French revolutionary war was fought on the fields of Genappe, dud though it might not be hnown in the intelligence of this meeting, yet Genappe a nd Waterido :! - e+e ihe same, and the last battle ;11 that struggle was also fought oti the same field, namely, Wa terloo. This is, therefore, the ci - S?t pp.al'el of which he spoke, that the first battle in Mancliesfet in the greet cause of Therliamentary Reform was fought in Chit field, and we are now rifft to slain the victory.—(Loud cheers.) In the harassing discussions that had taken place on the Reform Bill, and he certainly thotight Ihem most harassing, ' be !Mend ,arraigned in behalf of that Bill ail the patriotism and intelligenta of • the British people, in such force as had never been equalled in airy other age or country, and in such a manner as, in his opinion, slieed that the British people completely understood their constitullotsal rights, and were ittnittely determined upon obtaining fhten by all legal and constitutloreal means. lie had always °beetled that the people of England tare every occe ision when it became necessary to exert the poPifiat voice in favour of any great measure which was necessary fot thl peace and liberty of the people—exerted it firmly otad de cidedly, and that wlielf the object was attained it sub sided into a calm of sober watebfeelnese until another exi gency bad arisen, which required anti/hear eNort, and that the promptitude, the wise moderation evinced 6. 7 them in t p h u a r t sui t t he o i f r th a i a s h fit .eg e t a t sz t e ! e a: L : d a uc so t lid w g i r il ou b n e d fo e r ti c a o a l t d . suee dis tinguished by its excellence ; and that whilst the British people will never retreat one step front ilia high ground which they had taken upon this momentous questiam, nei ther would they make n single movement in advance towards its completion which was kia consistent with sound mo rality, and in strict accordance with the exising laws. This will obtain for the country those blessings 'which ale so ardently seeks,--(Loud cheers.) But should the ling hesitate to comply with the just and universal wishes o f his people, and instead of creating an additional number of Peers—(Loud cries of " the Peet* ! No Peers ! No more Peers ! We have too many already t'') .such as would enable his present Ministers to pass the Reform Bill into a law, lie should prefer to attempt to carry on Government by forming an Administration composed o• those persons who bad always been opposed to all Reform, and who were now making the most hypocritical professions in favour of what they called mo derate Reform, then the people will consider that the time for sending petitions and addresses to either the King or Parliament, was past, and they would resort to other legal and constitutional means to obtain redress.—(Cheers.) From all he had heard in public and private he was confident', and certain, that it was the consequence of a most mature deliberation, that the first step that would be taken would be a passive resistance to the pay ment of taxes.—(Three distinct rounds of cheers.) That such a measure will be extensively resorted to he had no doubt; and in a most extended circle of acquaintance, of the most respectable description, be happened to know that there was not a single individual but had made up his mind on the subject; and should, in the struggle that would consequently ensue from this course, the Govern. went be, as it necessarily would, hostile to the people, and levy upon the goods for the material part of the re venue, they might most undoubtedly rely upon it that neither buyers nor sellers of such goods would be found (Loud cbeers)--and in a civilized community power without money is but a shadow. It is not necessary, under present circumstances, to take this course of resist ance to the payment of taxes, for it was his firm opinion that the sentiments of the nation, energetically and respect fully embodied in petitions and addresses, would be sue cessful.—(Tremendous cries of "No petitions ! no ad dresses.") After the storm had subsided, Mr. S. repeated that he for one was of opinion that petitions and addresses would succeed. It would, indeed, be improper, and totally unworthy of the intelligence of the people of England to take, at this crisis, any other course. But if a necessity should arise for resorting to other measures, be was con fident that they would be adopted with an unanimity, firmness, and a steadiness of purpose, such as had ever characterized the people of England when engaged in a just and righteous cause ; whilst, on the contrary, any mea sures of violence or extravagance would prove fatal to the measure. And he was certain that they all wished that such a course of proceeding would be resolutely abst mined froth..—(Much cheering.) Mr. S. concluded a splendid speech, to which we regret we are not able to do justice, in consequence of the disorder that prevailed, by ab juring the meeting, for the sake of that Reform which they were so ardently attached, and were so so lemnly pledged to support, and which might lae placed in jeopardy by any unworthy or in discreet conduct . on the part of its supporters, by det o uni lepn f gedegodhenhf t ai 15difi li gvmde—i i ooesneouusti depend--for orst genius, destruction, ncbas, dignified i ibi goi ad m yeennt vre:i e eli fisl a l p, are s e sake trsi which ecrhet firmness, p oe , r romhserf a evtbnnt reverence et upon eihswemsant:vd,csai eetnups s,di persevered l osifevery surrounded, e whose vevflteeheemarrexyrei i irdbn e og l energies in eati must arhgnatri those quarter, teessrsi and which ~ the deep responsibility which attached to that patriotic Nobleman to whom they were: indebted for the bringing at this momentous period the safety of the State might be necessarily require all the aid of popular support to sur mount press upon him—for the sake of Lord Grey, whose m e; whog q a r n u o te u s hn a s r t to i l he besought for his sake, and in the words of the brother of the King he would address them—" Be firm, be peace able; and you will gain the prize."—(Loud cheers.) He se conded the first resolution. Mr. RICHARDSON, a member of the Political Union, said he had read the resolution, and did not think it of suffi cieu weight, being a repetition of words, the same as the Ministerial Reform Bill.—(Applause.) Mr. R. here en tered into a detail of the obnoxious clause in the Reform Bill, and stated that in some instances it would require near three years' residence to qualify the elector to give a vote. He also alluded to a pamphlet which he said ex posed the follies of the Bill, and which, although written by a Tory, showed, and fully developed, the knavery of the Whip in attempting to foist this Bill span the people.— (Cheers.) He advised them to tell the King plainly what they wanted, and what they would now have. The pre vious speakers talked of proceeding by legal measures; but Lord Brougham had declared that it was unlawful to com bine to resist the payment of taxes ; and in the same breath he insinuated that as the laws are enacted by ho roughmongers--there was a peculiarity in the present case.—(A laugh.) Let them, however, said the speaker, address the King in spirited language, and tell hint that they would have a thorough Reform. But supposing that they had a House of Commons returned that was as pure as it was possible to suppose, of what use would it be to the country if the domineering oligarchy in the House of Lords were to have the power of upsetting its proceed ings.—(Lond cries of "Down with the Peers, and the Bishops.") He concluded by saying that the people will not any longer be driven into the market-place like bullocks, but they would arouse themselves, and check the growth of these domestic spoilers, who had the audacity to call the people slares.—(Long and continued cheering.) He moved the following amendment :—" That this meet ing, duly appreciating your Majesty's determination to render the people happy, humbly entreat you will exercise your Royal prerogative, not by adding to the strength of the Peerage, but by causing an inquiry into the limits of ou, of Reform is left t o will the mere}' their power ; for this meeting is fully aware that no Re form NATHAN BROADHURST rose to second th e amend ment, and said that this was a proud day, the p rou d est whatever day he ever had in his life. He was no orator, and benefitier cy the of thepeople, Nob le ifH this se measure., per haps did not speik good grammar, but if he made him self understood it was all he wanted. He had one request to make to them, as a deliberative assembly, namely, not to put up their hauls for any thing unless they were hyl :ristma ilT e r yi perfectly satisfied with it. H e would show that the , p . e r r e s s a e n l t suffrage g s t e r y ; wereno but to a set of hypocritical strengthen the rascals. aristocracy, in 1793, brou g h t i n a R eform Bill, but not for uni and would have done the same now, bat he found the people were too wise. This precious Bill was therefore brought in with the 101. qualifications, and a nice piece of legislation it was ; for by it a loan who paid only 9L 19e. / had no sense, and if he paid the extra farthing, making 101. he instantly became possessed of the must excellent contmon sense.—(Cheers, and laughter.) He then read what he called a bill of indictment against the ! n pres ric e u n l t tu it ra n i ni c s o try un , ties ultic a iLczn o :t! e ned onseq th orn e b t ur hca n an in rgapen g n i get n e;: th ho e ei prosecution of William Cobbett, of William Henry Hetherington, and the Rev.-Robert Taylor. The present Ministry bad also, when out of office, caused the repeal of the Spring-Gun and litian-trap Law, and now, on the credit of the Reform Bill, bad caused it to be re , enaeted; and this was the Ministry they were called upon to support. They hid alio given 100,0001. to a foreign woman, whom they knew nothing at all about ; and 12,0001. a year to a little girl to learn to dance upon her toes, and split her tongue so as to enable her to talk two words at once.—(Cheers, and cries, of " We can do without them.") He concluded by appealing to them if the amendment was not superior to the original resolution. —(Cheers.) Mr. CURRAN' rose and addressed the meeting. H e 6, - , gan by observing that he was a hard-working man, and one who kci , felt severely the lash of oppression I He was determined to te.;l:sf !nose who endearouriii to curtail the rights of the working Men, and to labour until he obtained univeral suf. f. age, annual nirliaittents, and vote by ballot. But for a few of the working Closes . that meeting - would not have beets called; the Ministry were combined for their ruin, and there On a power behind the Throne which must be destroyed. He denied the authority of the Lords to Interfere with whet had been passed by the King and Commons. Mr. SHUTTLEWORTH here interrupted the speaker, and gfcl4 confusion ensued, but he could not be heard. Mr. Curran Continued—it was the first time they had met Isere for the diceus,len of their rights, and he hoped they would not be put down as they had been at the sheeting in the Manor Court Room. He went on to observe that heknew many opera tifie, who were working at the rate of 14 hours a day for a starving Alesistence, and it was debt that the King should be made acquainted with the condition of the people. In the reign of one of the Edwards every man had a vote, and after having seen it in practice for 150 years, is there any man who ugh esy it is impracticable, or that his assertion was un true. The people must not now be told that they were not educated encater far the exercise of their rights. He for one knew they had knowledge enough, and were determined to be free.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. SHUTTLE WORTH again rose, and observed, that in conseqUrrire of the indisposition of Mr. Heywood, who bad been compelled to leave the meeting, he had again risen to solicit their attention and was proceeding to observe upon the amend ment which irs:R been proposed, but was interrupted by a general c'oriftviion in the opening of the extreme outakirts of the meetiiik in c,onsequenee of, some false alarm. Mr. Shuttle worth then continued, and complained that resolutions had been proposed, not at all in conformity to the objects of the meeting : not because they were better, but to draw the atten fl,l4 of the meeting from its real objects, and to excite -confu slot!. An address to his Majesty had been proposed, which *he felt assured if read would satisfy them all.—(Mr. Broadhurst— "To the point," find great contusion ensued.) Mr. Shuttle worth continued—The address expressed deep regret at the ?!rent conduct of the Lord'', and was there one among them who did not feel regret at that conduct. After repeated inter ruptions, Mf. Shuttleworth concluded by expressing a wish that the address should be adopted. • Mr. DYER then roar• to move another amendment, and ob :;cyved that this was a most important meeting, and he hoped that SUth steps would be adopted as were best calculated to advance the interests of their common country. His amend ment, he was sure, embodied the universal sentiment of the people in favour of Reform, and the necessity of a new creation I of Peers to carry the BilL---;Loud cries of " No,no; no Peers," and rest confusion.) Mr. Dyer concluded by observing that there was northing in his amendment but what every honest heart would vibrate to.—(Loud cries of " No Peers, no lii shops.") 1 Mr. HUMPHREYS, soll4tor, amidst hisses and confusion, said, fist though he regretted it, he felt no apprehension as to ' the fate Of the Bill. Knowledge had been gradually extending amongst the se atiting classes. (He was then proceeding to observe upon the benefits of Sunday schools and other institu tions, for the extending knoirlodgeamongst the people, when he was interrupted by groans and Muses.) After the confusion had subsided, he •aid he felt as warmly for his country as any man upon the ground, and he hoped the people then assembled would chew by their conduct to those who governed the country, that the people of England were determined to maintain their rights, not by violence, but by union and constitutional activity. The people of England were the best educated in the world, and let them show that while they defended their own rights, they respected the property of others. He then concluded by expressing a wish that the passing of that Bill would be the means of a glorious and peaceable triumph. Violence did no good, and the best fight would be that fought by the Representatives of the people in the House of Commons. He seconded Mr. Dyer's amendment Mr. ADAMS, an operative, then rose and said—The amend ment they had just heard was, to advise his Majesty to make more new Peers. Heavens ! had they not enough of them ? ;Cries Of "No Peers, no Peers," and confusion.) Mt Adams then read the amendment, and said—They say the address does not call for a new creation of Peers, but the address talks about the King reigning in the hearts of his people—What could this mean but making new Peers ?—(A voice from the hustings " A lie." Confusion.) The speaker then went on. The King has made Peers, and can do away with them. The speaker con cluded by expressing a wish that the King would degrade the lilt) Peers and 21 Bishops who had voted against the Bill. The speaker then called upon the people to insist upon universal suffrage, annual Parliaments, and vote by ballot. Earl Grey and Lord Brougham had both said in their places in Parliament hat if the Bill were rejected. they would have to give more.— (Tremendous cheering.) Did they not understand that, and know that it alluded to annual Parliaments, universal suffrage, and vote by ballot P Mr. DYER again rose to address the meeting, but after great and continued confusion was unable to succeed. Great confusion now prevailed, and no person could be heard 'or a long time, when Mr. OATES, the Reporter for the roice qf the People, rose, and, after calming the multitude, said he regretted the repeated interruptions which many well-meaning gentlemen and friends of the people had met with. He entreated the meeting to give all a fair hearing, and to chew by their conduct that day, in the display of a tolerant spirit towards each other, that they were prepared for the enjoyments of those rights which the Bill was meant to restore to them. Quietness having now been obtained, Mr. BROOKS, another operative, °Nested, that those who got up the meeting only wished to make tools of them by their proposed address. Let the original address be gone through, and let the other follow, and he felt it was impossible for the people to understand the former unless it was explained. Mr. HARVEY then rose and said, if he understood 'Mr. Dyer right, it was his wish to create one hundred new Peer, and he hoped there was not a person in that large assembly who would support the creation of another Peer. Lord Wharnclitre's motion for the rejection of the Bill was an insult to the whole nation ; and after this conduct of the Peers, were they ready to make another hatch of them Mr. HARVEY then continued—l will tell you what to 41(,/ with the Peers, we will neither hang them nor cut their heads off; but we will send them as Missionaries to New South Wales, and compel the Bishops to go to the West Indies, to convert the slaves.—(Loud and continued cheers.) He hoped that no in ducement would cause them to commit violence. Mr. Harvey then read the annexed address, and said he was happy that there was no intimation of the creation of Peers, but it recom mended the King to exercise his prerogative, and by that pre rogative the King might to-morrow create 100 new Peers. If this point were explained away, be should agree to it. The King, he observed, had likewise the prerogative of issuing writs, as well as of making Peers, anoi he hoped he would exercise his prerogative by issuing them only to the large and populous towns. Here some fresh confusion ensued, when Mr. DIXON rose and said, all that was wanted ro arrange their differences was, the insertion in the address, of " Annual Parliaments, Universal Suffrage, and Vote by Ballot" Mr. ASHMORE then read his amended address, which de. precated the creation of any new Peers, and requested his Ma jesty to issue his writs to the large and populous town., and to exclude the rotten boroughs ; and also requesting annual Par. 'laments, universal sufflage, and vote by ballot.—(Cheers. Mr. BROOKS—He believed that fault would be found witlt this amended address ; but he knew that those who called the meeting intended to recommend the creation of a new batch of Peers, They knew it was their duty to overthrow the Aristo cracy—they had broken the oath of allegiance—they had com mitted treason against the country. if any of those present had done so, they would have been brought before the bar of the country, and made to pay it with the forfeit of their lives. The Aristocracy had declared that they would forfeit their lives rather than pass the Bill, and he advised his Majesty to bring them before the country and try them. They had thrown down the gauntlet to the country, and the people ought to take it up and hurl it with defiance in their teeth. Let us have the Bill with interest, or not at all, and when they set us at defiance let us meet them with new demands, and then tell his Majesty we are ready to march to his defence.—(Here a considerable alter cation ensued about the proposed - alterations' in the address.) Mr. M. PHILLIPS said that former efeitiens of Peers were for purposes of evil—let them now hare them for purposes of good.—(Cries of " No, no ; the Peers are become like calico Pieces, good for nothing.") Mr. Phillips then urged upon them the importance of unanimity, which in a meeting like the pre sent was every thing.—(Cheers.) Mr. DYER then attempted to speak amidst great confusion and repeated interruptions. He eulogised the Bill, and said it would, he thought, remove all objections.--(Cries of " No, no.") He then observed upon the impropriety of the people pointing out to the King in their address the peculiar way in which he should use his prerogative ; it was, in fact, an attempt to limit his authority, which was all that the Tory faction— Eldon, Wellington, Peel, &c., Rant e d .— (C o nfusion.) further noisy altercati on , the resolution, and the amendment of the operatives ( w hi c h we h av e b e f o re explained), were put, when the amend men t was carr i e d amid shouting, waving of hats, and cl a ppi ng o f h an d s . The Chairman 55115 frequently called upon by those who got up the meeting not to put the amendment, as not coming within the terms of the re. quisition ; but the meeting would stiffer nothing to be put until the amendment was first put, and there was such an angry and determined spirit shown by the multitude, that if he had resisted and dissolved the xneeting, the consequence would have been extremely dangerous. In the course of the proceed ings several missiles wore Bung in the direction of the chair, and one or tw o p ersons narrowlya r egular troop advanced into the body of the meet li g escaped having thei r I eyes knocked ou t who stood ' ,I with tremendous bludgeons, which they carried on It e i r near the Chairm a n. B os id c , all boulders, but for what purpoie we do not kno w , as we saw no I bathrai,,s LONDON, FRIDAY EVENIN6, OCTOBER 14, 1831. nish the Political Council with copies of the resolutions, but he hoped the meeting on Wednesday would pass off With unanimity, mid that do persons would come forward to dfter any faCtious Opposition to the resolutions then agreed to be brought forward. the d , putation stated they could not answer for the Union ; the resolutions would he laid bofote them, and, if approved of, the Union would sup. , port them, but if not, they intended to frame others, and bring them forward at the Meeting. The deptitatiori then retired, stating that they thought they had Much better hive a meeting of their own on Peterloo plains, as the Riding-school would hold nothing like the number of per sons that would be presents The following wets the resolutions proposed i— l.—That this meeting, more than ever sensible of the net'esg city which has long existed for a Reform of Parliament, and con vinced th .t the passing of the Reform Bill into a law would be iii the highest degree beneficial to the country, has learned with deep regret, that a measure affecting solely the constitution of the House of Commons, Mid in Which his Majesty's GOVern, went, the people of these realms, and their representatives, had collectively concurred, has nevertheless been unceremoniously rejected in the House of Lords, and the just expectations of the people disappointed by a majority of forty-one, consisting of nineteen proxies and twenty-twin personal Votes. IL—That Under the circumstances of anxiety and alarm in which the.nation is placed by the refusal of the House of Lords to concur with the other branches of the Legislature in passing the Reform Bill, it is the duty of all good subjects to rally round the throne, and this meeting does therefore hasten to declare its determination to support his Majesty and the present adminis tration by every legal and constitutional means avowing at the same time its undoubting confidence that his Majesty's Govern ment, thus supported by the great body of the British people, will speedily be enabled to confer on the country the blessing of Reform—a blessing to which the people of England are enti tled:by the Constitution, and which they do therefore claim not as a boon to be given or withheld by a small number of inte rested individuals, but as the indubitable and just right of them selves and posterity. lll.—That for the purpose of giving due effect to the opinion of the inhabitants of this great town on this momentous occa sion, a dutiful and loyal address be presented to his Majesty, assuring him of our devotion to his person, and of our unshaken and unalterable determination to give to his Majesty and his present Government, all the support in our power; and praying his Majesty to adopt such decisive constitutional measures as shall counteract the pernicious consequences which may result from the rejection of the Reform Bill by the House of Lords, — secure its passing into a law,-...and thus preserve the peace and welfare of the country. IV.—That the folloiving address be adopted by this meeting and presented to his Majesty : " TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. "THE LOYAL AND DUTIFUL ADDRESS ON THE INHABITANTS OF MANCHESTER, IN THE COUNTY PALATINE OF LANCASTER. R MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY,—We your Ma jesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, the inhabitants of 111anchester, approach your Majesty in the state of anxiety and alarm into which the nation has been thrown by the ejection of the Re form Bill by the House of Lords,' to express our devoted attach ment to your Royal Person, and our unshaken and unalterable determination to support your Majesty's present Government, by every legal and constitutional means. It is to your Majesty, as the constitutional protector of your people from injury and oppression, that the nation now looks to avert the baneful effects which will inevitably result from the rejection of the Reform Bill ; and it is with full confidence in the paternal disposition of your Majesty to exercise your prerogative for the welfare of your people, that we implore your Majesty to take such decisive con stitutional measures as shall ensure the passing of the Reform. Bill, and thus preserve the peace and secure the welfare of the British dominions. .‘ Deign Sire, to receive our assurance that such an exertion of your Royal Prerogative will cause you to reign in the hearts of a grateful people, and carry down your name to the remotest time as a Prince who, by emancipating himself and his subjects from the domination of a small number of interested individuals, has justly deserved to be regarded as the Father of his Country." V.—That this meeting cannot separate without expressing its gratitude to his Majesty's Ministers for having brought for ward the Reform Bill, and its admiration in particular of Earl Grey, whose consistent, honourable, and patriotic conduct, has, in the opinion of this meeting, deserved the most unqualified ap probation, and justly entitled his Lordship to the continued con fidence of his Sovereign, and to the esteem and veneration of all classes of his countrymen. The streets were exceedingly thronged on the morning of the meetirg. Great bodies of the operatives congregated in the streets from an early hour, forming arrangements for the meeting. Flags and banners were flying in the air, bearing the inscriptions of " Annual Parliaments," " Vote by Ballot," " Universal Suffrage," &c. ; and the prevailing opinion was, that the resolutions brought for ward at the meeting of the requisitionists for the adoption of the great meeting would meet with opposition, not from any decided difference of opinion as regards the Bill, but merely through a petty mean spirit of rivalry, which the members of the Operative Political Council en tertain towards the new political body ; the latter consist ing of members who are for the 7 -resent satisfied with the measure proposed by his Majesty's Ministers, as one eaten ! tted to work well for all classes of society, ulti mately or immediately—and the former advocates for the immediate grant of universal suffrage, vote by bal lot, and annual Parliaments ; in fact, persons who form the old Political Counsel, forty of whom conduct the political business of that Union, are staunch supporters of the Patriot Hunt, who has led them astray from their own interests, by telling them that the Bill was never likely to work good for them. The leading men in this Political Council are operatives, who possess tolerable natural abili ties, but whose disposition appears to be not of the best kind; the levelling system they seem more to advocate than a ra tional and practical system of Reform. The other Union consists of men who wish to benefit their country by an unqualified support of the measure of his Majesty's Minis ters, and also advocates for the vote by ballot, though not being desirous of pressing too much on the Ministerti at once. For the reason above stated, the Old Union came to the determination of proposing resolutions at the public meetings, formed by themselves in council, as amendments upon those resolved upon at the meeting of requisitionists. PUBLIC MEETING IN THE RIDING-SCHOOL. Previous to the doors being opene I to the public, a number of the requisitionists were assembled on the tem porary hustings which had been erected for the occasion. The object was to discuss the necessity of an adjournment into the open air, which it was expected would be moved by a party connected with the Political Unions of Man chester. It was very broadly asserted that the municipal officers who had called the meeting would, under the cir cumstances of the question of adjournment being carried, take no further part in the proceedings. It seemed to be the feeling of the requisitionists as a body that an ad journment would not be politic, though several of them held the opinion that the voice of the meeting must be adhered to. At eleven o'clock, the time appointed f di the meeting, the doors were opened, and the Riding-school, which was capable of holding about 5,000 people, was soon nearly full, and a very great crowd remained on the outside. Several flags and banners were displayed. The moment the place began to the cries of " Adjourn into the open air" became incessant, and a large nutnhrr of people rushed forward to get possession of the hustings ; but they were speedily repressed, and with some little dif ficulty order was partially restored. The foremost among the adjournment party were Messrs. Curran, Brooks, and Broadhurst, who are leaders of the ex:reme radi. cal, or Hunt party. It being known that this party meant to move amendments on the resolutions prepared by the Committee, a conversation ensued respecting the policy of such a proceeding, but without making the slightest effect upon them. At the time appointed for taking the Chair, JAMES Bun; Esq., Boroughrerve, was unmimously called to the Chair. After some little interruption, aris ing out of the general desire fur an adjournment, lie proceeded to read the requisition, and formally to open the meeting, but was much interrupted by the noise. 110 said that it was necessary he should oprn tl.e meeting regularly, therefore, he begged their attention, as after be had done this it would be competent for any person to make such motions as he might think expedient. It was totally impossible to conduct the proceedings if strict order was not kept. Several gentlemen interfered to preserve order, particu larly Mr. Baxter, who said that such conduct as was sheen there was disgraceful. The people, in their haste fur ad journment, did not seem as if they would hear any Wily speak. Mr. Baxter continued, such conduct was most dis graceful, mast inconsistent. He begged they would hear the Boroughreeve, and allow hint to open the meeting. The BoßoonntrEnvE then read the requisition, and said that he had one word to say to the meeting. He did not request their attention to himself as an individual, but he did entreat them as a municipal officer of the town, who had acceded to their wishes in convening the meeting, that they would pay that proper deference which the office he held was entitled to. He would with pleasure listen to any gentleman who had anything to urge to the meeting, that came within the range of the objects for which the meeti n g was called, to whatever class of society he belonged, whe ther high or low, and he did crave that they also would give attention to every speaker, however humble he might be : and as the meeting was called for a specific purpose, he hoped the speakers would in their speeches not wander from their purpose as they did on a late occasion ; aid as they were met to address the King, that in what they uttered, anal in the resolutions that they proposed, the sentiments would be couched that dutiful, affectionate, and respectful language, which was due to a firm, gooei and patriotic King.—(Loud cheers:) A gentleman of the nathe of Pirai said that as the build ing they were in was quite crammed full, . and as many thinisands were ()aside who could not gain aumittece, , dmi as he hour of twelve was fast approaching, when the working classes (liiho were principally interested in the meeting) would be leaving the 4 en:'ploy, and Who con sequently would wish to take a part in the proceedings of the day, he considered it his duty, under these circutn stanCes, tti mate a adjournment into the open air, either to Campfield or St. Peteesteid.-(Loud cheers and cries of " Adjourn.") Mr. BnooKs said be would second the motion for an adjournment, as there were hundreds outside the building, who had every right to be consulted upon any resolution that might be proposed, for their approllation or their re jection. He hoped the g. ntlemen who bad called the meeting would not oppose this motion, as from the im portant nature of the proceedings, and the number of per sons interested in them, it was uttttly impossible that the sense of the town could be taken in that room; therefore, he moskeurdially seconded the motion for adjournmeni.— (Londtheers.) Mr. BAxTEtt rose amid considerable uproar, and with some difficulty obtained a hearing. Ile said having been indu'ged with a hearing by them before, he chimed that they would extend the same favour to him again. The Chairman hall in convening that meeting appointed it to take place in the room in which they were then assembled, under a conviction that it would contain as many persons as could, under any circumstances, hear what was said by the different speakers; and he, for his part, was convinced that a greater number of persons were then present than could possibly hear in the open air. —(Load cries of " No, no ;" and very general hooting.) The BOROUGHREEVE then came forward, and was mak ing some observations respecting a difference of opinion that existed as to the policy of adjournment, when a very considerable uproar ensued, and moat vehement cries for an adjournment, which was considerably heightened by a large body of men forcing their way through the people, bearing three flags, containing the following mottos, " The King, his Ministers, and Reform ;" " W. R., de , vice a Crown ;" and " Vote by Ballot." As soon as something approaching to order had been obtained (for the Huntites seem disposed to any thing ra ther than total quietness), Mr. BitarDLEY, one of the constables, came forward and said, that as the Boroughreeve, who bad called tile meeting, and had been called to the chair, cou'd not ob tain a hearing, he felt it a duty be owed himself to with draw from the chair. Th;s announcement produced " confusion worse than confounded," and the hooting and hissing was of the most tremendous description, in the intervals of which, Mr. BROOKS, one of the Political Union Party, said if the Boroughreeve did not think fit to preside at a meeting of his townsmen, he was happy to inform the meeting that they would be able to find a respectable gentleman who would.—(Lotid cheers.) Mr. J. C. DYER said they had a gentleman who was as ardently devoted to the great cause of Reform as any man in the empire, who would take the chair of the meet ing, if they would adjourn to Cimptield.—(Loud cries of " To Peterloo.") The Boroughreeve then vacated the chair, and, with his colleagues, left the Riding-school, and a written placard was then exhibited by a gentleman, on which was the following inscription—" Adjourn to Campfield, Mr. Phillips in the chair."—(Cries of " No, no, Mr. Potter for our chairman.") The whole mass then rushed out of the place and proceeded for Campfield. On arriving at the ground, we found it nearly filled with the populace, and only a single cart for the hustings, on which were mounted Mr. Thomas Potter and other gentlemen, and several leaders of the Political Unions in Manchester with flags. It was then understood that waggons had been sent for by Grimes, from the old Quay Company, and daring the interval a number of gentlemen formed a circle in the rear of St. Matthew's church, exactly facing the hustings be fore mentioned. In a short time three or four carts ar rived, and, with the aid of a number of planks, a tolerable stage was formed, upon which Messrs. Shuttleworth, Baxter, and many other leading characters, immediately mounted ; the gentlemen of the Press also availed them selves of the favourable opportunity and were snugly en sconced behind the principal spokesmen, when the people found themselves aggrieved with this regulation, and sun dry calls were made by each party to remove the other. Both appeared determined not to budge, till at length an immense crowd came rushing from the bottom, or, if we may be allowed the term , the radical hustings, and, with out ceremony, pulled the stays from under the carts. This hod the desired effect, and a speedy unlodg ing was the immediate consequence, and it was not until a full half-hour had elapsed before any thing like order was restored. Many of the reporters were by this movement thrown completely out, and were never after wards ab'e to obtain any thing like a tolerable situation for hearing. Several of the carts, on taking up the new ground, wer e upset, and the persons who fancied themselves se cure of a front situation were thrown amongst the crowd ; indeed such was the confusion that prevailed during the whole of the meeting, that it was utterly impossible to hear what the speakers said, except when an occasional calm was occasioned by the stentorian's taking breathing time. At this period there were not less than 100,000 persons present. Business commenced a little before twelve o'clock, by Mr. G. IL WINDER propdsing th a t Th omas P o tt er , E sq. take the chair. This being seconded by Mr. NIGHTINGALE, was carried amidst tremendous cheering. Mr. POTTER briefly opened the business of the day, beggingmeeting to co n d uc t t h emse l ves orderly and temperately, as they were m e t u p on a momentous occasion. the He recommended the different speakers to confine them selves „ tr ial ) , to the question before them ; and entreated them not to wander into extraneous matter ; he wished every (al e to have a fair hearing, and trusted to th e goo d sense of the meeting to support him in the discharge of his arduous duty, which be was determined to do faithfully and itnpartially ; after again exhorting every person pre sent to exert himself to preserve order, the worthy Chair man concluded by saying that Mr. Heywood (brother to the county Member,) would move the first resolution. Mr. HEYWOOD, brother to W. B. S., Heywood, EN., M.P., in moving the first resolution, spoke in so low a tone of voice, that it was with difficulty we could catch what he said. We understood him to say that he met them under circumstances the most extraordinary, such as could not have been anticipated some months since; for lie could not but consider the recent conduct of the House of Peers towards the Reform Bill was most extraordinary. What had the Peers done in reference to that Bill, which had been adopted by the House of Commons, welcomed dry the people, and approved by the King ; it bad been most unrighteously and most unceremoniously rejected by the House of Peers. They were, then, most imperatively called upon, in consequence of this conduct—this usage to wards the people —to take such steps as would legally and constitutionally demonstrate to the country and to the King the intense feeling of indignation prevalent in conse quence of this blasting of the hopes of the nation, this re jectionof its p rayer for a restitution of civil rights. He was rejoiced to see that the people were sensibly alive at the treatment they had received in the rejection of the Re form Bill, and that their feelings, though of the firmest and most determined description, were such as were per fectly compatible with the great object they had in view— namely, a peaceable, legal, and constitutional Reform ; and he besought them, under the disastrous circumstances in which that Bill had been rejected, not to either flag in their determination to have the Reform it promised, nor yet to be driven into any courses which would militate against the safety of the measure itself, but to be stimulated to still greater exertions, and if they neither gave way to despondency or passion, they were sure ultimately to be victors in the field of constitutional freedom.—(Cheers.) Mr. S HUTTLEVVORTH came forward to second the first resolution. After some prefatory advice as to the best course to be. adopted by the meeting to preserve regularity in their proceedings, he proceeded to say that lie congratu lated the immense assembly he saw before him, not less than 100,000 people, with being met on the great ques tion of Reform on the field they then occupied. Be was old en oug h to recollect, and so were many ot h ers then pres e nt, t h at 35 years ago the_ field on which they were then assembled was the scene on which many of their parents took part, his own among time number, on t he same question that now agitated the country from one extremity to the other ; in which they recorded their opi nion on the necessity of a Reform in the Commons House of Parliament, and, in doing so, were; driven
