If he judged right, the whole who was then assembled around him, was met for one purpose. &c. &c. &c.; fur we cannot follow this Orator upon whose Address the Car lisle Patriot, front which excellent Paper we select this report. observes— " The worthy gentleman delivered his senti ments %sit(' a gravity and solemnity not to be described ; he turned his head from side to side, in the manlier of a Chinese image, but his bends rein tined immoveable and his eyes were closed, or nearly so, the whole, time. In the course of his speech, independently of murdering the King's English, he made several unfortunate slips , which moved every muiele but his own. His whole ap peurance indicated a st we of abstraction, and thrice, instead of saying Fellow-men (the favourite phras,.) or Fellow-countrymen,'• he celled them My D e ar Fellow Starters !'

Thus ended (says the Jourmil we have quoted) the Carlisle Reform Meeting, which was to make an impression from Otte end' of the kingdom to another ! 'lf we say that 550 persons, including men, women, and children, were in attendance, we are sure we shall over -rate the number. More than one-third of those in attendance were lads mirkr the age of 'eighteen, and, of course, "the greatest portion of them apprentices. Their con duct .throughout the. Meeting was orderly and pe a ce a bl e , and they separated almost immediately after the business concluded: very few signed the petitions on the ground, though three tables with pens and ink were prepared for the purpose. The peace officers were again on duty do r i ak the ni g h t, but not the slightest disturbance took place. THE LATE RIUTS. REPORTED APPRE(IENSION OF YOUNG WATSON.

The adverse and tempeituous state of the wea ther lies prevented any arrivals from the Conti. pant to-day. We are afraid that the late heavy hob of rains must have done great damage to t he country, and indeed we see from the Pro vincial Prints that the floods have been very in- Orions .in many districts. The Pluviometer spews that about ill Inches, of rain fell within the last week. The wheat seed sown must suffer in some degree, and hardy as it is, we still beg to impress on our Agriculturists the necessity of using every means to preserve the staff of life in its nascent state as they expect their labours to be rewarded, a. d their country benefited by a pleo ,l • tiful harvest. Our first page aottialus some use . I hints on this important subject frOm the pea of our well-informed CouresporAct R. Report says, that the friends of Young Watson appear very much int erested in the rumour of hi s being apprehended near Bout('calm. If so, it af fords reabon to believe that they reckon on his having escaped from this country. We can, however, assure our Readers that there k no truth in the report that young Watson is taken.
