The large room was filled with fashionably dressed females, and the scene which it pre sented was one of considerable interest. Shortly after twelve o'clock, _those Gentlemen on whom had devolved the office of preparing the preliminary proceedings, entered the room; and the Rev. Jo.ux CLAYTON briefly addressed the Meeting in nearly the following terms :—.. PROPOSED REDUCTION IN PUBLIC OPPICEg. (No. II.) Ma. EDITOR—As you have . been pleased to give my intrOductOry observations on the above subject such prompt insertion in your respectable journal, it behoves me to redeem my pledge by endeavouring to shew that the proposed measure is partial, oppressive, and unjust. One of the chief blessings which EngliShmen enjoy is the equal and the impartial administration of the laws. We feel this to be our birth right. The law with us is no respecter of personS :—Like death, she knocks indiscriminately at the . proud mansion of the Peer and the humbla habitation of the Peasant. Whenever, therefore, any. Government acts partially, it acts unwisely—yet more, it acts unjustly,. It loosens the corner stone of the build ing, and saps the foundation of our glorious Con stitution, which rests on the basis of•equal lazes. That the 'measure now under diScussion is par tial cannot be controverted. It is so par excellence, for it not only purposes to lay a most grievous burthen upon a particular class 'of men exclusively, but exempts altogether from its effects, many in dividuals in that very class who are .best able to bear its :pressure.. Such a system may surely. be characterized as partial, unjust, and oppressive. If the exigencies of the State be such as to render fresh importsindispensable, why not renew at once, the PROPERTY Tax, which embraces equally all ranks of society, and draws from the pockets of each individual a contribution in just proportion to .his means. 4,421 .. Prize of .. £2.5,000 9,182 2,033 1,440 besides many smaller Capitals.—And they also sold in Shares ALL the £40,000 Prizes in one Lottery of the preceding Contract. . . J. and J. - SIVEWRIGHT have no hesitation in recom mending the . -Scheme of the present Lottery (which begins on TUESDAY, 30►Jt This Month) to the attention of their Friends and the Public ; --it contains THREE OF ,C 30,000 ! and 30 Other - Capitals, ALL. MONEY,—with NOT TWO BLANKS TO , A PRIZE.—‘3O,OOO for the First-drawn Prize. Tickets and Shares are on sale at their fortunate Offices, where they hope to have the pleasure of paying to the Public one or more of the £;W,000 Prizes, and by their Agents. " Ladies, and Gentlemen—ln one respect I have to express my regret that the meeting shuuld have been this day deprived of the active exertions and the sunerintending direction of dm_ individual who Was appointed on the present oc casion ; but it is, however, a source of satisfacdon to me to have the privilege of communicating to you, that, in the unavoidable absence of John Thornton, Esq., the chair will, with your con currence, be filled by David Bevan, Esq;, Treasurer to the City of London Auxiliary Bible Society."—(Cheers.) ' The Resolution having been seconded, was proposed by Mr. CLArroY in' the usual form, and passed with much approba tion.

There is yet another consideration which ren ders any reduction of salary, or partial tax, par ticularly unjust and oppressive on Clerks iu the principal Public Offices. It should not be for.; gotten that the education which is indispensably necessary to qualify them for their situations can only be acquired by great sacritkes of time and. money ; unlike inferior offices, where Writing a fair legible hand and a competent knowledge of figures are all the attainments necessary, and where, consequently, a person is able to gain his livelihood at a much earlier period of life. , ALET LEASE.—LANM:EY LODGE, - RUCKS.

The British and Foreign Bible Society had been formed not many years since ; it had been established at first by a few individuals, who conceived that great advantage was likely to arise from an union of all sects and.. creeds -and parties in the diffusion of that book from which they all professed to derive their faith and their .hopes of immortality.—(Hear !)—lt was formed upon this _broad basis because on no other could such an extensive. system of benevolence have been sustained. lle. should. not- occupy their time by entering into any justification of the means now proposed for the furtherance of that object. Several friends of the Bible Society were then present, who would, if they deemed itnecessary,- answer any objections that might have been-raised against that benevolent and beneficent object. They would sub mit to the meeting resolutions connected with the formation of the proposed Branch SocietY, and its several associations.— (Hearly_ . OXFORD-STREET. The projected reduction is highly inexpe dient in another point of view. Should it be carried into effect, which I will never believe possible, 'until the Act 50th Geo. 111. cap. 117, is repealed, and another in lieu thereof has. re ceived the Royal Assent—l say, if it should. ever asume an active shape, the inevitable .con sequence will be to deter every person of respec table family or connections from aceepting an appointment in any Public Office., As I am more a man of numbers than of let ters, and am better versed in Cocit'En. than in CICERO, I shall have recourse fo figures to prove my position. According to the probabilities of life, as shewn by Dr. Pnicc'S Tables (of which I shall speak more at large when the admirable project of "The 'General , Superannuation' Fund" .comes. to be sifted,Y a..person being at the present ruo• ment appointed Junior Clerk in the Treasury must fag there between 23 and 24 years before he would.rise to a situation of 6001. or 6501. per ann. on the present scale of salaries., The same . cal; culation applies pretty nearly to the other prin cipal Public Offices. But according to the new regulations the maximum of Income_that a :man' might fairly expect to obtain after 25 years' ser vices, would be at the utmost 5001. What Re tail Dealer is there in any respectable line Ivho, does not look forward with well founded con& dence . to rcalize within a shorter period an inde pendent income to the same amount? With such limited prospects before his eyes; %that young man who' could gain admission ; into' the ware-rnotns of a topping tradesman, • would ever cross the threshold, of a Public _Office, to toil and drudge through the whole prime of life' Without a probability of securing a comfortable provision for his declining years ? , FOR THE.

In adverting.to the Property Tax I cannot help asking the sapient authors of this ingenious scheme, this masterpiece of human wisdom, n he then they ever contemplated the possibility of its renewal, and if so, whether it .be their intention that in addition to the 15 per cent. to be levied on the clerks by their notable plan, a further charge of 10 per Cent. is to be laid on their sala ries, making altogether- a reduction of 25 per cent if, by way of gilding.the .present bit ter pill, a clause is to be inserted in. the . act to exempt them by special favour frOm being af fected by it. But,.perhaps, it may be alleged that the clerks are at present overpaid, arid therefore, that it is but reasonable. that their salaries should be reduced. Let us See how the case in reality stands. Let us compare,the-situation of the Clerks in the Public. Service,in . a pecuniary,point.of view, with that of those employed by Public Bodies, and even by individuals. ; We shall find upon in vestigation, that the...emoluments of the latter; in many instances, greatly exceed those of the for mer.;—and that, in general, they are much better . paid.

SlR—The difference of the report of the proceedings at the Common Hall, on - Saturday, published in The Times of yesterday, from those which appeared in the other Jour nals of the day, induces me to trespass on your attention with a very few, but unpleasant observations. Misrepresentations are of too common occurrence in " The Tithes" to- require particular notice, though the public record of them, 'When of an aggravated nature, • may not be without use. We cannot expect to prevent a renewal of the offence, for, unhappily, habit becomes inveterate, .when supported by interested or corrupt motives—but it may serve to remove that film from the public eye, which the Newspapers have been instrumental in generating, You have, 'rather impolitically, w a de my conduct at the Common Hall serve as . a subject for your spurious wit, and• a handle for your private malig nity ; impolitically, because though your wretched attempts at facetiousness excite no feeling but contempt,, except among those of your own coterie, they serve to shew your ignorance, in mistaking a satirical and ludicrous nomination by me, of a Peter Skipper, whom I never saw, -nor knew but by public report, ; for a real one: and .your impudence in suppressing truth, distorting observations, and inventing falsehoods in defi ance of facts, which could be proved by hundreds of witnesses. It. Is unworthy of me to descend into particulars from various reasons : it. would be an endless task to wade through the false hoods of the Times, as a comparison with other Journals of the day sufficiently point them - out : • besides, were I inclined to disclose (which I reserve for another opportunity) the many impositions upon the public, I might speak of the coalition be tween the rival Shop keeping Candidates for the Mayoralty and the' manner in which they decided (not by election) who should- fill the civic Chair, a week previous to the meeting of the Cpnimon Hall, when, as I was informed, by Mr. Magnay himself, that Mr. Waitliman, whom you laud so -highly, had agreed nct to oppose him, but to wait the more certain, but less honourable medium, of rotatory succession. I might unwind a few more links of, the chain of City duplicity and imposition, but my business is with you now, and I shall•just shew your im partiality and regard for justice by reminding you and the pub lic of the appaling fact, that you only advocated the late Queen's cause, because at is• certain meeting it was decided by a ma jority of one; that it would be most profitable to espouse the popular opinion, and fan the dangerous flame of public feel ing against the King and Government,. in behalf of an unfor •tunate and deluded .woman, for whom an advertisement,-which •all the other papers readily inserted, you would not accept with out first receiving the cash _down, and it consequently did not appear in the liberal leading Journal. These facts speak your character better than volumes of comment could do. You have frequently taken occasion to angle for popularity by an affectation of regard for. the libefty of the Press.. How little you are actuated •by that consideration, is apparent from your converting it into an engine of private malignity * * * • * * * * * * * * The Ti mzs are, indeed, very bad.—l am, Sir, &c.

BALLAVARII, Oct. 4, •Six o'Clock, r. se. bet Ween Douglas and Peel; Isle of Man. 7 A most serious Riot took place in Peel on Sunday, in consr quence of the advance upon flour. Several houses belonging to bakers and flour-venders, were literally gutted. This spread consternation through the Island, and not without reason, for last night a similar outrage was perpetrated in Douglas, where the windows of houses belonging to persons of the above description, were demolished, and the spirits ' and wine (which it is not unusual here for traders of this sort to sell), set flowing into the streetS. -Yesterday was also another serious day at Peel ; a dreadful tint having occurred, but the :Manxcavalry were called out, and the ringleaders secured., DCUGLAS, Friday, half-past 8, P. Nr. At present all is quiet; every precaution has been taken, constables sworn in, &c. &c. ; and si large party of gentlemen of Douglas are gone over to protect the Nunnery-mills, belong ing to Mr. B. WIT tINGIIA3f, about wmile from this place...—. The principal sufferers 'last night are himself, who is a miller, ThOMAS"GAILIIETT, corn-lealer ; THOMAS GILLING, ditto; JAMES CAINE, ditto; whose houses have been nearly-demo lished ; every thing- was thrown into the streets, sugar, wine, flour, &c. Troops from England, I am infOrrne4, have been el readyordered.- -1 have been to see the houses have suf fered ; groups of ill-looking fellows are in various parts of the town, all with bludgeons. ELEVEN' O'CLOCK, FiIDAY have been all through - the town; which, in consequence of not being - lighted, and being one of-the most re , rularly irregular built towns in Europe, believe me, on a night like the present, is not over pleasant: To the credit of those on half-pay, resident here, they have, to a man, nearly 100; taken up arms for the defence of the island, each being served with twenty rounds of ball cartridge. WIIITTINGHAM and CAINE (two persons whose property, since they left this has been destroyed) sailed for England by the first vessel, after'the breaking out of the riots at Peel. Much irregular conduct is expected here to-night, the half-pay'soldiers having taken their stations, two and two, at the corner of each street. 'Troops are expected by Sunday; at present there are none on the Island. - • . TwEtivic O'CLOCK.--.All•cruiet up to this hour—should any thing serious take place previivas to the steam,-packet's arrival, you shall have it, if' I sit up until &hit .. The Rev. Jolarr OWE, ,- one of the fiecietaries to' the British and Foreign Bible Society, rose to propose the first resolution. He said that circumstances which it would not be necessary to explain, but to which he might be permitted simply to allude, made it necessary for him to retire as soon as possible from the . present meeting. -Before he did so, however, be felt it to be his. duty to make a few remarks on the object for which they had as sembled, and then he should leave the management of the projected Society to those Gentlemen who were so very ca pable 'of advocating its most useful and indeed Most necessary formation. His object was to propose, that a Female Branch Society should be formed under the auspices of the City of London Auxiliary Bible society. And here he Wished in the outset to be permitted to obviate certain difficulties which were supposed. to exist to the formation of such a Society. Undoubtedly it had met with opposition, and it was there fore desirable thatit should be cleared fropi all objection. It had been said, that its object, if achieved, must be performed by divesting the female characterof all that delicacy, and grace, and modesty, which constituted its peculiar charm and felicity—that it would - force the femalefrom those secure, and- tranquil, and silent scenes of benevolent, though at the same time' unobserved, exertion, in which they had hitherto been employed.--(Bear, hear ! )—And little did he wonder, that in a case so,novel, some apprehension on this point should have arisen. Here the female sex was separated from the other, and invited to the performanC e of specifie duty ; and if they had nothing but theory, to guard them, he willingly admitted, that it was a fearful experiment. If this, - then, were a new undertaking, he should tremble at the - re sponsibility, . which he_ as the first to. recommend it might have , incurred ; but it was not A novel undertaking, it was nom-mere visionary experiment, it had the sanction of considerable expe, . rience, - and it bad proVeditself useful beyond all expectation. In • the distribution of the word of God,,it was usual to look through all the various modifications of society, and see how any, por tion-Of it might operate in its disßmination. - How the poor might contribute, in some degree, ps well- as •themiddle' orders and the wealthy, to the diffusion of the Bible. how the young and the old might - advance this glorious object ; and hence had- arisen the knowledge ',obtained by the British and Foreign Bible Society, that the female part of the community was so arranged as - to give to them: an opportunity of actively employing in this glorious cause Muth of that time whiCh man's avocations•completely occupied. That time had been hitherto passed in assisting in the great works of charity and philafkii ropy, .• and it had been occupied too in advancing the spread of Christian knowledge.(Hear!) - -They were not 'cleiiirous of recommend ing that course of occupation which - would- remove the Wifefroin her domestic duties, but on the contrary, of recommending the - adoption of those pursuits which.would teach her how to esti mate her time and how to employ - it most advantage - onsly. The mighty works which the Bible Society had performed were writ ten in Europe, in America—all over the world; they had.before. them on that occasion, in the.,person of a Transatlantic Chief— [ The Rev. Gentleman, herevointed to One of two - Chiefs of the Mohawk tribe .who was .sitting at .4.short distance from him] -L one who could give his simple, butisincere attestation to its ex , tensive utility.—(Cheers.)—The Rev. Gentleman conaucled by moving the first Resolution. °": • This Resolution • was supported by the Rev. Mr.. FRESH , FIELD, and passed in the accustomed manner . The second Resolution, that her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent be the 'President .of • this-Institution, was proposed by the Rev. Mr. 111701-I.ES, and supported by Mr..GAtia.vr T. • This Resolution having been adopted, the CitAtitm4N com municated to the .Meeting the Duchess'of Kent's acceptance of the office, and this communication was receive!' with tonsider able applause. - • The third Re . solution was proposed by the Reir. Dr e IVARD- Law, and seconded by the Rey. - Mr. M.Ansit. Several additional ResAutions, connected with the regulation of the proposed Society, were also adopted. The two NI oh avik Chiefs, whose flames were Brand and Kerr, were introduced to the Meeting by the Rev.

Dulwich, Oct. 7, 1821. SUDDEN DEATII.-An awful event took place during the Worcester Musical Festival, at the precise time when Mr. VAUGHAN was singing " Gentle Airs," accompanied on the violincello by Mr. LINDLEY. Mr. JOHN GRIPFITHS, one of the vocal performers, fell back in his'seat, in an apoplectic tit ; his ghastly death-like appearance, together with groans, excited a considerable de gree- of serious sensation among the performers, as welt as that part of thecongregation who could behold him. At the conclusion of Mi. LIND LEY'S cadence, he was carried out, and several medical gentlemen,'who formed part of the,cou grep.;ation,' hastened to attend him; they pro ceeded to bleed him, and he was conveyed tothis• residence by six .rnen, where he.continued in a senseless state till Saturday afternoon, between. four and five o'clock, when he expired. lie had been a Mernbe'r of the Worcester Choir upwards of 30 years.. He possessed one of the most ; powerful bass voices that ever was heard,and yearssome 'since he was engaged as the principal bass singer at the Covent Garden Oratorios, and probably would .haie continued so, and no doubt would have had what the superiority of . his. voice won Id have derv; tided, but for some eccentricities in his manners.. 'His voice was heard predomi nant above all, even in very large orchestras,.with ' an organ and a numerous assemblage of vocal and instrumental performers. He was engaged at the great oelebration of 'HANDEL, in Westminster.— Miss STrrn ENS was extremely affected on viewing him before he was carried .out of..the orchestra, and burst into - a God of tears. Most of the per fOrMeri-Were much affected at.the afflicting scene. Miss STEIiIIENS : re.covered . herself in time. to sing her last air, ." Fa, er,ell ye limpid kgripgs aad . floods."
