BIRMINGHAM MEETING, SE rr. 23.

Agreeably to a summons which had been placarded for
some days through various parts of she town, the inhabi-
tants of Birmingham assembled this day in great numbers,
on a spot called Newhall•hill, about three o'clock, to take
into consideration the late unhappy transactions at Man-
chester. A temporary platform was erected, covered with
Mack cloth, the sombre and Name! hue of which was, if
possible, exaggerated by the arrival of a mourning coach,
with feathers, containing Sir Charles Wulseley, Bart., and
another with several ladies.
The immense concourse of people who had congregated
together on the occasion, presented a specticle which it is
not easy to imagine, mid still more difficult to parallel.
The inequalities of the ground upon which the meeting
mood, presented the appearance of a large amphitheatre,
exhibiting a perfectly semicircular arena, ur flat centre, upon
which innumerable multitudes stood, iu all appearance im-
moveably condensed. The hills behind them, on the con.
trary, displaced a fascinating view of British beauty, in nu-
, mentos associations of well-dressed sad handsome finales.
The ground was flanked ou one aide by hills, manifesting the
same appearance as those jest described, and on the other
by a couple of bridge's; on the top and upon the parapets of
which a prodigious multitude was planted in various posi-
tions sod multiplied ranks, but preserving a still and
anxious silence during the *hole of the proceedings which
formed the business of the day. In short, this amphitheatre,
if we may be permitted so to term it, discovered an almost
endless array of men, women, mid children, horses and vehi•
spec ; but the onsubers of this accumulating en w.I were not
less remarkable than the deep CP prat • of energy and atten-
tion which their countenances exhibited. All the orators
who presented themselves PO the notice of this auditory were
clothed in deep mounting ; and so general a feeling of a cha.
reeler in unison will. the sombre trappings of the temporary
forum of Newhall-hill, appeared to pervade the listening
spectators, that upon a display of hands (certainly tint the
loast numerous ever reiwil its support of a string of Resolu-
tions), some were blacked, some smeared aills soot, and
others covered in moureing gloves. biuswittonasitling this,
no indications of even municulary tumult ur alarm were
exhibited through the slay.
Mr. F.Dflonns was called to the Chair, when a smart
round of applause greeted his aceeptance of the same. A
blick flag was here waved in front of the hustings, having a
red border. Mr. Edmunds begs. requesting all much sy sa-
bots to be withheld, mud the flag was lowered. He first paid
a tomplisamit to the discretion of the Magistrates of the
tows, who were, he mid, incapable of the Conduct adopted
by the Magistrates at Manchester. He then introdeced Sir
Charles Welseley, and stated that be should have bees hap.
