We have received BY EXPREss from York a very
full end interestiog account of the highly respect-
aide and insinirlunt meeting held in that City. on
Thursday last. It was attended by the Duke of
Ent FITZ wILLI AM, Lord MILTON,
and other distiognislied Noblemen and Gentlemen,
whose names liid beets affixed to the Requisition
addressed to the High Sheriff. The meeting
was extremely mainermi.. 11..irge bodies of free-
holders, preceded by bands of music, and bear-
ing flags aid, devices expressive of their political
opinions, marched in regular ostler to the meeting,
but not withstandlog these for ttt i t lable appearances,
which in the eyes of such men as the 11.igistrates
of llatichester could threaten nothing but murder
and pillage, the tramesillity of the City was not in
the slightest degree disturbed. The High Sheriff
did not conceive it necessary to marshal a military
finer for the preiverv.itimi of the public peace, 'to
close the gutrs of the Castle-yard against the istrA/
bands of music, nor the equally terryk No, which
presented themselves for admission. To mine ob-
jections urged on this point to the High Sheriff,
that Gentlemanu,p with constitutional propriety and
equal spirit, exclaimed," Let every freeholder enter;
I rely upon their discretion and good sense, and will
secure the pence of the county with my stavesmest."
The result justified hi. confidence, and evinced
that the men of the great county of York know
as well how to enjoy *freedom as they have ever
proved themselves capable of maintaining it. No
attempt was made by any of those who are called
Iteforioeis to disturb the harmony of the meeting.
It is a singular fact, that among sever.teett flags ex-
hibited at the meeting of Thursday, not sue leave a
motto Or devise expressive of any opinion upon Pat.
lianientary Reform.
3'lir Resolutions were moved by the Duke of
NORFOLK, nod seconded by the HOD. LAURIINCE
DUNDAS. They expressed the sense of the meet-
ing upon the right .f the people to assemble in
public fur the diicussion of political topics—cons-
plaitird the conduct of the Magistrates of Mass-
chester—taineuted the sanction given to such ooa.

commended an atkhess to the Nines REGENT,
tbatite should immediately convene Parliament, and
cairn en inquiry to be instituted into the occur.
nacre .of Monday. the Atia of August. The
oppositioo made to these llesolettiows was by Mr.
STUART WORTLEY, who in a manly mid inge-
nuOna manner, acknowledged the necessity of in.

Lut contended that such inquiry sliould
not he instituted in Parliament, bat be submitted
exclusively to the tribunals of the country. The
lion. Gentleman and a Mr. F. %Irmo* were the
may persons that raised their hands against them.
The enthusiastic cheers with which the pe►rirk
greeted the Noblemen mid Gentlemen who appsktred
on the hustings, manifested the willingness with
which this are ever ready to rally round their legiti-
awe leaders, the independent aristocracy of the
country. It is much to be desired that the Nobility
and Gentry should, on all occasions of politic nits-
forward us the Noblemen loot Gen-
litmes, of Yotk►hire stow have done. By ands

meeting held in this runnt►t• than that which assem-
bled iss the Castle-laid of York on Thursday host,
and w•r sincerely hope that so noble an example will
be followed by the other counties in the kingdom.

little from that of "l'ubre's Age rf Reason," toeing,
like it, a tissue of iiidecent invectives directed
against the Bible, and every principle that has
hitherto been held sacred by Cbri•tlwn'. There
were two other indictments preferred against CAR-
