CIIE,IHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS.

KNUTIWORD, TUMMY, ocTnsteft 19.
This morning the Sessions cononesiced before Sir John
Mauley •ud • Beach of Magistrates. The Court was opened
at eleven o'clock, 111141 the Grand Jury were called over.
Sir John Stanley, in his charge to the Grand Jury, said,
at present be should confine himself to $ for remarks
upon their characters as Grind Jurymen. SVhatever
agitetiou there might be out of JllOlll, •nd in the
neighbourhood of this county, in • Court of Justice
all should be conducted with calmness. Every individual
should be joked with impartiality, and according to
the evidence adduced naiad him. Without any reference
to party, lel every mail come into an English court of jus-
tice sore that lie would find redress and protection. tie
begged to remark, that some bills might be brought before
the Grand Jury fur what was called a conspiracy. He wished
to tell them the law upon this subject, viz. that outman alone
could not be found guilty of this crime. It must be proved that
at least Iwo persons were so connected together as to be
guilty of the offence. lie concluded with congratulating the
Jury, and the county, of one beneficial effect of the severity
of Ibis Court is the punichrorat of fowl-• Waling. He wes
happy to find, that in consequence of the examples which
had been made of those convicted of that offence, there was
net c single instance of fowl-stealing in the calendar.
The Grand Jury then withdrew to consider the several bills
presented to them.
The calendar of the present Sessions is not remarkably
full. There are 41 casts of misdemeanor, and 25 of felony:
among the cases of misdemeanor are nee ur two which are
worthy of notice.
John Swan, who was a abort time in confinemewt, is
charged in the caleuilar with a conspiracy. lie is • hatter,
residiug at Stockport; and the particular charge against
him is, fur having nn the 31st July last, at Macclesfield,
conspired and cumhined with others to disturb the public
peace, and to traduce :ad vilify the House of Commons
and the Government, and to excite discontent, disaffection,
and sedition in the minds of the King's liege subjects', with
100 more unlawfully assembled to disturb the peace, and
by seditious speeches to excite the conienspl of his Ma-
jesty's subjects roe the Government of this cuuntry.
The three following are also charged ride the same of-
fence:—Join Borlesheno, aged 86, coltou-spinner, (ruin
Peetwood; John Rickard*, 38, a cotton-spinner, of Maccles-
field ; and Julio Stubbs, aged 34, • cottou-spiuner, of the
same place.
Is consequence of Sir Charles Wolseley having removed his
trial to Chester, so much interest is not excited at these
Sessions. The case of Mr. Hari Iwo still remains, and may
►e heard.

The whole of this day was taken up with hearing peeper
appeals. M►. Ashworth was present, nod was engaged in el-
moat every appeal. Mr. Williams was principally engaged
on the other side, and in consequence of the interruption of
Mr. Ashworth on several occasions, Mr. Williams was corn-
riled to re d his antagonist, that lie was not now arguing
un a Coroner's Inquest, and that these proctetliugs would
nut, like that, last fur es.-r.
It is expected that something will omit tomorrow re-
specting the indictments fur sedition against the individuals
mentioned.

Sir Charles Wuheley was in Court during the greater part
of the day.
The Grand Jury have just returned true bills against
Joseph Swam, Richards, and others, fur a conspiracy.
A true hill has also bees found against the Use. Joshua
Meg fur a conspiracy, with others anknown,in laying poison
to kill cattle, to the injury of the King's subjetts.

PETER'S LETTERS to his KINSFOLK.

[FURTHER ISITIUCTS.]

" A person► whose eyes had been accustomed only
to such places as the schools of Oxford, or Sir
Christopher I'egge's lecture-room, would certainly
be very much struck with the prima facie mean
condition of the ►majority of the students anew-
bled at the pi:elections of these Edinburgh pro-
fessors. Here and there one sees some small
scattered retnisent of the great flock of Dandies,
trying to keep each other's high collars and stays
in countenance, in a corner of the class-room ; but

these only heighten' by the contrast of their pre-
sence, the general effect of the slovenly and dirty
mass which on every side surrounds them with its
contaminatirg atmosphere; and upon the whole,
nothing can be snore distinct and visible, than that
the greater part of the company are persons whose
'dualists iu life, had they been born in England.
must Owe left them no chance of being able to

Irthiild not help taking notice of this circum-
'OMNl* the other day to my friend W--; who
lot only- admitted the justice of my abstention,
but went on to utter his comments on the free I
had Observed. in • tone of opinion and sentiment.
for which, I oust confess, my owa private reflec•

tions had by no means !prepared me. Su far from
proceeding, as I had supposed every Scoichinaii
like circumstances would do, to poiiit out the
ad-
vantages which might be expected to aii.e, mud
which, in Scotland itself. had already, in fact,
arisen, out of a so liberal and extensive dillosim, of •
the higher species of education, my friend seemed
to have no hesitation in condemning the whole sys.
tem as being not friendly, but eminently hostile, to
the true interests both of science in general, and of •
his country.
" Wishout at all iiiiderstanding him in the literal
sense of his words, I think it is possible that the
result of his reflections may have really led him to
doubt, whether the system which takes
much may not be somewhat weakened mid de.
hued through the very exteution of it. surface.
I can easily believe that he may he a little doubt-
ful whether the obvious and distinct ailvaniagrs
which must spring out of such a system, may not
he counterbalanced. upon the whole, by the
advantages which I should suppose must be equal-
ly inseparable from the footle of currying it into
practical effect ; in other words, whether the result
of good may not be less considerable itt the great
issue than that of evil, both to the indidnals them •
selves, and to the cottons tttt ty, of whose general
character so much must directly and indirectly he

much with great hesitation. cones • g a subject of
which I cannot imagine myself to have bail tune
or opportunity fur any adequate ezainisiation ; and
of which, even had I posstvord more of time ist.d
oppoitunity than I have done, I am still suspic,otpi
that my own early prejudices miglit reader it im-
possible I should form a fair and impartial judg•
meat.

" The expenses of university education, it the
first place, amount in Scotland to 00 more than
• very inconsiderable fraction of what they ale in
England. With us, we all know, a father of it
fatuity seldom thinks of sending his son to college,
unless lie cau afford to give him an allowance a
some 3001. per annum, or therreboute. It is, no
doubt, quite possible to have apartments in a col-
lege, to attend prayers in chapel, I alit- eat el,itt...
MOll9 ill hall, arid to arrive, after four yaars' resi-
dence, at the style and dignity of a Bachelor of
Arts, without having disposal of so large an income.
But, taking young men as they are, and as they
always have been, it is needless to expect that airy
one of them will rawly submit to lie under any
broad and distinct mark of inferiority to his fel-
lows; and therefore it is, that we in common par-
lance speak of it as being impossible to live at
Oxford or Cambridge, on less expensive terms that
those I have mentioned. So long as our chore)
retains her privileges and possessions (which, thsok
God !l see no likelihood of her losing), the bent.-
fiesta she has in her gift will always be enough to
create a regular demand for a very large number of
graduates born in the higher classes of society—so
large a number, indeed, that even they alone would
be able to give the lose in any university, and airy
college in England. And while this is so, young •
mere. of generous dispositions, who cannot tithed
to keep up with the lose thus given, would much
rather be excused front entering •upoir • course
of life, which mutt bring their incapacity of doing
so continually before the eyes of other people, and
of themselves. It would take a long time, more-
over, to satisfy the great majority of English fathers
of families. even in the more elevated walks of I.W
ciety, that a university education is a matter of en
very great importance as to warrant them iu run-
ning the risk of injuring the feelings and comfort'
of their children, by compelling them to submit to •
residing in college ou inadequate means. I be:.
lieve it is well, that in England, character is genie-
rally regarded as a far more important dung than
mere intellect ; and I consider the aversion I have
just described, as one very honourable manifesta-
tion of this way of thinking.
" Iti Scotland, feelings of an equally lioniniralile
kind have led to a very opposite way of tiiik.lig
and acting. The poverty of the colleges them-
selves, or at least of mint of them, has preventod
the adoption of any such regular and formal sty r,,
of acadeusisal existence, as that wlCch prevails ioi
other countries, arid most or all in our own. ("-

they voluntarily submit, in order that their child
may be en:shled to procure advantages of which
themselves are destitute, and which, when obtained,
cannot fail to give him thoughts mid ideas such as
must, in spite of nature, draw some line of seisms-
lion between him and them. There cannot he a
nobler instance of the neglect of self—a more strik-
ing exemplification of the sublimity of the toffee-
',nos. Nor eau the conduct of the son himself be
regarded as much less admirable. The solitary and
....eluded life to which he devotes so many youthful
r•ars—this hard battle which he, too, must main-
against poverty, without any near voice of lave
to whisper courage into his bosom—the grief which
he must feel when compelled to oak that which he
well knows will be freely, but which, hr too much
fears, will be rinfully given ; all these sorrows of
pnverty, united with those many sorrows and de-
w:elision* which the merely intellectual part of a
young student's existence must always be suffi-
cient to create—the doubts and fears which must
:it times overcloud mid darken the brightest in-
tellect that ever expanded before the influence of
exertion—the watching and tossing of over-ex-
citement --tlie self-reproach of languor--the
tightening of the heart-strings—and the blank
wanderings of the brain—these things are enough
to complete the gloomy foreground of a pic-
ture which would indeed require radiance in the
distance to give it any measure of captivitinn.

MEETING
OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE PARISH OF

ST. MARTIN IN-THE-FIELDS.

Yesterday a Meeting of the Inhabitants of the
Pari.h of St. Martin-in.the-Fields was held at
14rigley's Itooms.Spring Gardens, to take into con-
sideration • Declaration lately made and published
by'the Select Vestry of that ['•ri+h,
At two o'clock, on the motion of Mr. CIIAM-
Elms, Mr. CHAPMAN BAILEY was called to the
Chair.

The Cti int:NAN opened the business of the day
icy fluting his inability to speak on public occasions,
and his desire that the utmost indulgence should be
extended to him on the situation in which he filled.
frAllen proceeded to read the Declaration which
had been promulgated by the Select Vestry of the
Parish, and which had caused the necessity of the
present meeting.
[This Declaration has been already published, it
was tin eulogy on the existing establishments of the
land, and an assertion that the I. joint efforts of vio-
fence and clamour were openly employed to over-
throw acid destroy them."]
The Cilatansx then read the following noti-
fication, in pursuance of which the present meet-
ing, had been convened:—
" A considerable inowber of the inhabitants of this parish

Mr. CH Ali emu, in coming forward to proposes
string of Resolutions which► he had prepared for the
out:moon, addressed the Meeting in a speech of con.
I.l,leralile length. He eulogised in the must eloquent

the Declaration of the Select Vestry, and lamented
that a iteutlemon so beloved should have been is.

rule wind, to justify or palliate the late events at
Alnischester—there was no other reason fur oning
forward upon the present occusios and promulgat.!.
log ouch opiirions as the Declaration contained.
this Declaration had been promulgated as only that
ultht Select Vestry,he should permit it to paw with-
out continent, but it went forth as the act of the
pirishitniers and it became the latter, therefore, to
ascertain, by a meeting of this kind, whether the
feet were really so or not. It was for that pariah,
which had to boat of once containing within its
range such men as Sir Isaac Newton and Tennison,
to say whether it could suffer itself to be made, by
a Select Vertu,. a party to such a document as that
which lied beets recently promulgated and carried
about from house to house for signatures. The
worthy Gemleumo then proceeded to describe
the late affair at Manchester, and to relate,
on the anthority of three private friends. who
were on tb spur at the time. that a poor wo-
man who lied gone to look after her husbaud at
the meeting, was attacked by one or two armed

that in the Declaration of the Select Vestry, the

equally expressive word " charity."—" Let us
then," exclaimed the worthy gentleman, leave the
Select Vestry all the faith, and put in our claim for

Ile then lamented the mixture of politics with re.
!igloo. and still more that the clerical character
should he so commonly brought in contact with
the secular. The professors of religion ought ra-
ther to act upon the new commandment of their
Divine Nl:otter, to love one another," than to be
prominent in taking one side in general differences

mired Shakspeare's definition of the term 64 heresy."
which war, " the true heretic is lie who likes the
fire, not he who burn• in ii."—aoughter mad op-
plantse.)—The worthy Gentleman prefaced the l►ru-
!tosal of his Resolutions. by resiliog some extracts
from 1)r. flallifax, and other liberal writers on the
subject of toleration. Ile then moved a string of
Resolution., condemnatory of the proceedings of
the Setert Ve►try.
The Resolutions were then seconded, and the
Chairman was proceeding to put them seria►im,
when

Mr. Tuouea, jun. rose to propose an amend-
ment, which was an echo of the Declaration agreed
to by the Select Vestry. He applauded the con-
duct of the Vestry, and contended that their pious
and amiable Vicar had only done his duty in coin-
ing forward and vindicaterig his religion from the
insidious attacks that were of late made upon it in
seditious and blasphemous writings, and with the
avowed purpose of sapping the moral and religious
feelings of the country. He contended that the
Vestry had had abundant precedents for their
course; they had acted for the parish in declara-
tions at the time of the Corn Bill and the Catholic
Question, and no person complained of their exer-
cising ally undue power. [A person in the room
explained, that the reason of there being uo com-
plaint then was, because their acts were not at va-
riance with the general feelings of the parish.]—He
then contended that the Vestry had acted right,
and denied that the Declaration had been carried
about for signatures; it was never removed from
the vestry room except to his Grace the Duke of
Northumberland's, for his signature, at the desire
of that Nobleman, who was unable to give hie sig.
nature otherwise, owing to the pressure of private
business. He further said, that the Declaration
did not purport to be that of the parish, but of the
individuals who had signed it.
The worthy Gentleman's amendment, which we
have lamely said was iii echo of the Declaration of
the Select Vestry, was read amidst the most violent
opposition. It remained for several minutes with.
out being seconded; this office was at length pe►-
formed by Mr. Charles Parr.
Mr. CHASIDIM, then replied to Mr. Thomas, and
described the Select Vestry as • self-constituted
body, who were not entitled to assume the right of
representing the parishioners at large, without giv.
ing public notice of their intended proceeding.
The Select Vestry was convened in a private manner,
and the Declaration was not announced generally to
the parishioners, but sent round merely to such
persons as were known to be in unison with the ori-
ginal framers of it. He excited some laughter by
alluding to the Duke of Northumberland's signs.
Lure, as being in some degree perhaps influenced by
the promise of the vacant Blue Ribband.
Mr. CHARLES Purr strongly condemned the pro-
ceedings of the Select Vestry, and warmly declared
his opinion in favour of the original Resolutions.
The amendment was then put, and negatived,
there being only the head of the mover held up in
its support.
The original Resolutions were then carried with
great applause, and the only hand held up against
them was that of Mr. Thomas, the proposer of the
amendment.

Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, who
briefly acknowledged them by expressing his sense
of the honour they ha►l done him.
There were about 200 parishioners present at the
meeting.

RIOTS ON THE TYNE.

The following account of the riotous proceed-
ings of the keelmen on the Tyne, is extracted from

The keelmen are still unsatisfied. We under-

'THE BRITISH PRESS.

LONDON,
FRIDAY, OCTOBER Qt. 1819.

The charges of disaffection which have for several
months been urged by the Ministers and their ad-
herent. against the whole body of the people of
England, have hod the effect in some few instances
of inducing persons who conceived their loyalty
inspected to sign public declarations attesting their
innocence in the most earnest manner. These sites-
tations are drams up in the shape of Addresses to
the Pewee Ituaitter, and are very absurdly desig-
nated 1' loyal declarations." when they are. in
reality. nothing more than trembling confession,. of
faith. which none need make who did not either
suspect the orthodoxy of their political doctrines, or
fear that it had been suspected by others. The
loyalty of a subject iu this realm is not to be
doubted until the commission of some act which
mumps of aeditioo, and in such case let the indivi-
dual offending suffer the penalties of the law which
in his cooduet he shall have violated ; but as every
menu moat be reputed innocent until he be proved

solemn deposition of his loyalty. Penally the de-
ponent might have a beitpr claiip than his neigh.
bout to the reversion of the mitt vacant Place in
the Minister's disposal ; but shall it be pretended
that the man who despises such time-serving tricks,
who reposes with confidence upon the integrity of
his own clisracten and maintains inviolate the
Sanctity of the laws—shall it he pretended that
such a man, because he refuses to join in such
solemn munitnery, is less sincerely sitached to his
Sovereign and to the institutions by law established,
than one who unnecessarily makes a parade of his
political devotion ? These declarations, it must be
admitted, are for the most part couched in terms
so happily vague, and express sentiments so ex-
tremely general, that we really believe there are
very few men in the country who would not very
Willingly sign them, if such a test of loyalty Were
necessary. Some of them indeed do not possess
the advantage of being expressed in language per
fectly grammatical, while others Ire glaringly de-
ficient in good taste and good sense. These cir-
cumstances might possibly prevent persons from
affixing their signatures to such previous docu-
ments, even though the sentiments contained in
them were in accordance with their own feelings;
but we really can perceive no credit to be derived
by any man who is not questioned about his loyalty,
from publicly assuring his Sovereign and the na-
tion that lie is an honest man—is willing to live in
obedience to the laws—has no desire to tempt the
dangers of a Crown prosecution—and entertains no
particular predilection for being hanged ! Giving
every man in the kingdom credit fur ordinary un.
derstanding, we can believe that there are very few
who would be found so neglectful of their own in-
terests as not to consent to sign such a statement,
if they fancied that any doubts were entertained
upon the point, and further that there were any
other persons in the kingdom who would entertain
I a better opinion of them, after having thus given
such good character of themselves.

Nothing can be more absurd and inconsistent
than the conduct pursued by the Treasury Scribes
in their attack• upon the Whigs of England. Not
long since it was imputed to the Whigs, u a crime,
that they did not enjoy the confidence of the great
mass of the lower orders of the people, and now that
the Whigs seem restored to all their original and
natural popularity, they are charged with having
collared with the Modica! Reformers. The Tories
lately exulted in a momentary disunion between the
people and their legitimate leaders, because
their own miserable faction of the two hundred
in the House of Commons derived a relative
strergth from this apparent weakness in the rank.
of their opponents, but now they exclaim against
the re►toration of the ancient confidence, because
it seems to threaten their own security. Their

terror is evident, from the nature of the charge
they urge sgainst the Whigs; they accuse these
Noblemen and Gentlemen of being influenced
solely by a desire of place, and by this contempti.
ble accusation skew the colour of their own fears.
As the Tories have hitherto sacrificed every thing
for place, they cannot imagine a higher prin-
ciple of action than the desire of enjoying a
seat on the Treasury Bench; but in the confu-
sion caused by their apprehensions they con-
demn themselves, for if it be a fault to look for
places is the administration of the country, it can.
not be free from censure to contend with ardour for
their preservation. To any person, however, ac-
quainted with the present constitution of Parlia-
ment, and can estimate eten in a remote degree
the personal influence which any body of Ministers
who have been long in power must possess in the
country, this accusation must appea► altogether

absurd. There is not an office under tire Go-
vernment, of the most insignificant and meanest
