For the last fortnight the Town of Newcastle under-Lyre, and the Potteries, have been kept in a state Of ferment by the mischievous arts tat a set of disaffected persons, by calling Public Meet ings under pretence of petitioning; for Parliament ary Reform, which Meetings were attended by two hireling Orators from Manchester, one of the name of JOHNSTONR, (formerly either a tailor or a linen-draper at Glasgow), the'other of the name of KNIGHT, (who we are informed is now a pau per receiving relief from the parish of Manches ter.) ' - At'the Meetings these Orators have used the most dangerous and mischievous language, to render the lower orders dissatisfied with Govern ment, and with their own situations in life. Se; ditious tracts have been circulated, inflammatory Resolations• passed, and Petitions, which have been issued from the Manchester Division of the Spa-fields Committee, have been signed, and will no doubt be presented, under the pretence of speaking the sentiments o he Staffordshire Pot " series. Having had Puha •-:Meetino at several places in the Potteries, the dissaffeeted iliction de termined upon trying the experiment at New castle ; and a Hand-bill (printed at Manchester, for. not aPrinter in Staffordshire could be got to print it).,was circulated through the Town and Potteries, calling a Meeting on Tuesday last, and asserting that it was at the request of a majority of the Inhabitants. The names of 20 persons were put to the 'Hand-hill, part of which were withont either the, knowledge or permission of the parties, and contrary to their wishes. The remainder are a most despicable set. Spa-fields itself could hardly have-turned out such a one. Aware of the general loyalty of •the Inhabitants of New castle, the Faction were not satisfied with calling a Meeting of. them, but called a Meeting of the Town and Neighbourhood, in the hope that the poisonous diactrines.which they bad been endee vouring to instil would have the.efitct of bring ing a large concourse of people from the Pot teries, and thereby enable them to curry their Reso lutiOns and Peiiiion, in defianceof the sentiments of the Inhabitants:' In this' they did not succeed: —the novelty of their proceedings was over, and the people began to see the mischievous and de lusive arts which have been Practised upon them. %Via) every exertion not more than a few hundred persons came from the Potteries. The Meeting was numerously attended by, the inhabitants. After waiting near an hour after the appointed time far an increase of supporters; the Chairman (a journeyman tinker, of unblushing impudence), attended by JOHNsToNi and a number of such worthies; having ascended i a waggon provided fur theaaccusion, proceeded to business, and JOHN. STONS , came forward to address the . Meeting, The loyalty of the. inhabithnts could not be more strongly evinced than . tit this momenta general burst of indignation came from all quarters, the, Orator,.with his collected tribe, - were compelled' to descend from the waggon, and the whole crew were glad to make a precipitate retreat, and did not think themselves safe mull they were two miles from the town. The Resolutions intended to he passed were seized and destroyed, and nei ther resolution. or petition were passed, Nett castle hits Otos honourably saved itself from the , stigma of suffering an insulting and inflammatory petition of a party of demagogues to be carried at a public meeting, and presented to the House of Commons as conveying. the wishes of its inhaiti, tants) and we are confident•that soch an expect : . sion of public sentiment in that populous neigh bourhood most :have the best etfeet. After the retreat of theraetion, the Meeting sang " God save the`King," and then broke up i and much to the credit of time people, not the slightest disturb ance followed, • On Sunday tnornisg a meeting took ptste , e in the neighbourhood of Strabane, between Lieutenants and Ott.;-11, of the44thitegittsent. The former wus wounded in the thigh by the first fire, when the affair was adjusted by the interference of the seconds. Aseward of 301. is offered in Sattirday night's Ga:ette for the disarm y of the person or persons who, in the night of the 21st ult., set fire to two stac ks of wheat belonging to Mr. , A BA•is an d m r .
