HUDDERSFIELD, AUGUST 2.

The Meeting of Radical Reformers, held at Hada
dendield this day, was, like must of the Mettrugs
of that dercriptiou in this neighbourhood. name.-
°ugly attended. and peaceably dissolved. The place
of meeting was the side of a steep bill. about a mile
out of the town ; the number of persons ammo.
bled was about 8,000. two or three hundred of
whom were women. Two flags were displayed on
the occasiou; the one inscribed with " Anatol Par-
liaments." " Universal Suffrage," and " Elrdi n
4 Ballot ;" and the other with "No Cora Laws ,•
and " Peace and good will towards men." 00 the
top of the former the red cap of liberty was hosted
by the Ciisirman, Mr. Dickenson, linen-draper,
of Dewsbury.
The speeches were generally of the precise clis-
meter which has marked those of all the Yorkshise
meetings. The sentiments of the speakers were
tsltra, and their language somewhat violent; but
the means of obtaiunig their object were dreier d
to be peaceful and constitutional. and the si. rep-
sky of obedience to the laws was apparently felt by
every person present.
Messrs. Thomas Mason and James Mann.
Leeds; ' of Dewsbury; Broadhurst, tl,e
itinerant ; Robert Harrison, of Huddersfield. end
two or three others, spoke in the whole about four
hours. They painted in very strong coionrs the
distress winch prevails in almost every cottage ;
and the universal panacea was universal suffrage.
The Ministers. the Corn and Combination Lao..
the grants for the Duke of York and for snuff-
boxes, and the new taxes, were loudly inveighed
against; and the immense sums thus voted sway
were mentioned, and dwelt upon by the distressed
workmen with a bitter laugh. It was recoinnietid.
ed to form unions, both male and female, in the
town and neighbourhood ; and many a wortiaii's
exalting chuckle was heard at the compliments
paid to the " British F•ir." and at the idea of en-
tering on the work of mending the Constitution.

departed this lufe no Tuesday evening last, at the

Mr. Ketieble tbkes his benefit on Wednesday

overflow. The flustiags of Mr. Kemble, the Clow.
