found that atigi sad resentfnl feelings, marking a
disaffection to the Goverientent, have assumed
higher tone hi the States of Prussia than elsewhere.
it will be for the combined wisdom of Enrope to de.
elate how much of these feelings has originated in the
disappointed expectations or the people. and the
forgetfulness of his promise on t!:e putt of the

A Meeting of the people was held et Leigh on
Wednesday last, but it does not seem to have been
very fully attended, and although the temper of the
people assembled there was tried by an act similar
to the arrest or HARRISON, in Smithfield. they gave
the most satisfactory proof of their unwillingness to
impede the execution of the laws of their country.
During the course of the day's proceedings a man,
named THOMAS CLuar, was taken into custody by
sane police officers, on the authority of a Bench
warrant, issued against him for some former mis-
demeanor ; but the people, streanting, it is said,
to 3,000 persons, seemed very tell contented to let
Mr. THOMAS CLORE answer before the proper
authority for his conduct. We certainly Cannot ap-
prove of the adoption of this method of manifest•
ing to the people the strength of the laws, or rather
the confidence of the Magistrates, in the very el&
cient meroures they have adopted for the security of
the country (and for which they merit the highest
praise) ; but as the arrests of HAMMON and
CLIME have respectively token place, at Smith-
field and Leigh, at public Meetingo, during what
might he supposed to be the moment of the
greatest popular excitement, we can refer to them
with confidence, as affording a convincing proof of
the essential difference between the Meetings of the
people, call them seditious if you please, but cer-
tainly for objects not openly and avowedly illegal, and
the adoption of any measure. that might tend to
endanger the general tranquillity of the country,
or even to impede the march of justice. HUNT
was not at the Leigh Meeting, and an Evening
Treasury Print, by dwelling upon this circum-
stance, *hews how ..ecessary this man is to the daily
performance of its task. A Mr. BANNER, who is
said to be one of the Society of Friends, was chosen
Chairman.

At this Meeting was exhibited the very revolting
spectacle of a number of females. styling them-
delves' " A" Deputation from the Female Reform
Sneiety," forgetting the reserve and decorum which
ought in belong to the female character, and in.
trotting themselves upon public notice. These
women, to the number of thirteen, appeared at the
Meeting, and presented the Chairman with a cap
of liberty, and a flag, on which were inscribed the
Words, " Igo Corn Laws"—.4 Annual Parliaments,"
&c. It would he impossible to account for the
conduct of these female politicians who undertake
to " twsist the male population of the country in
the recovery of their political rights," but by sup-
posing that they are of that class of their sex who
have long taught themselves to set at nought the
voice of public opinion. Should this supposition
be unfounded in fact, let them shew that it is so
by retiring to their proper sphere, remembering
shut• however they may succeed in proving them-
selves bad housewives and bad mothers, they will
never prove themselves good politicians.

The Sun evades the fair consideration of the
present state of the country, and does not touch
upon the right of the public press to question and
canvass the acts of Ministers. We never imagined,
and certainly never said, that " those who read
the productions of the Woor.ens, the SHERWIN!.
the CossErrs, and many other venemous scrib.
biers, who are incessantly at work to delude the
lower orders of the people, and whose poisonous
doctrine have led su many from the paths of
honest industry," are only some dozen, or perhaps
twenty. The readers of these productions may be
as numerous as The Seri viruses to represent them,
but it by no means follows that all who read are
of necessity to he considered converts to the prin-
ciples contained in them. The Editor of The Sea
flint himself have read these productions, and yet
he would conceive it little short of a grievous ca-
lumny were he to be set down among the " in-
fatuated followers" of those whom lie is pleased to
Ball " malignant miscreants." We only said, and
we repeat it, that those who really look forward
with hope to a revolution, as the means of re-
trieving their desperate fortunes, are " Rime
dozen or perhaps twenty," whereby of course
we most be understood by a fsmilisr figure
to express generally an inconsiderable number.
The Sun, we are sure, will do tis the justice
to believe, that we should regard with as much
horror as he expresses, any attetnpts seriously made
to train men to military discipline, iu contempla-
tion of having recourse to arms against the
Goverment. But what sufficient evidence has yet
been given to the public, that could induce any
dispassionate and maiming mind lightly to adopt
a belief in matters so serious ? The Editor of The
San must tither have forgotten, or not have read
our oh (ions upou the attempt made to murder
BIRCH, the constable, at Stockport, or he could
not have imagined that we lightly had estimated so
revolting an outrage. On that occasion we est-
i pressed an iudigualioa not exceeded by any
I Treasury Print. The assassins, however, were only
three, the; committed their crime under the shield
of darkness, they were not eonotenanced by any
