It appears that great parties have as.einhied at Middle-
ton, Royton, and all the adjacent parts, committing the
most outrageous depredaiiJiis ou every well-dressed iwli
victual that passes tll. in. A person who came front Nlid
dletonlib morning states, that three were at least three
thousand assembled there, a portion of the Cheshire Ca-
valry have been sent to disperse theist. e
The industry that is used in circulating incendiary Pla-
cards and Pamphlets is this part of the country is really
astonishing. As a corroborating proof of this circunn•
stance, at least MIDO copies of the accompanying 4ddreu
were seised and foam, in the coach that conveyed Hunt
and his Janto to the Meeting on Monday—they were en-
veloped in a sheet of brown paper, bearing the following

fortune (who necasitmally spores money on racing), by an
elegant and wrli-dressed female, in terms not quite so
feminine MS might have been e•preted from tier appear-
ance. Site was accompanied by another young lady of
preposseping appearance, and whose apparent spier ex-
cited mach sympathy. Every eye was on the females,
and the gentleman contrived to get front the stand, rd.

being the Duchess of Ket•t's birth-day, the Doke
made arrangements for rejoicings on the occasion.
In the morning, at half-past six o'clock, the Prin-
cess Fendor, attended by her music-master and the
whole of the domestics, was in the room adjoining
the Duke and Duchess's bed-room, to serenade he:
Royal mother with God save Me King. In the
course of the day saveral distinguished characteN
called at the Palace, to leave their names sad duti-
ful respects on the happy return of the day. Thci:
Royal Highnesses had a dinner party in honour of
the day. Among the company were, the Doke of
Sussex, the Prirw'ss Augusta, the Duchess of Gift-
cester. the Duchess of York, and the Princess So-
phia Matilda. After dinner the company adjourn-

direction of Sir George Smart, who presided at the
grand pianoforte.

" HUNT'S GENUINE BEF.H.

" Hunt's first appearance in public life will • public Brneer.
In Jan. Intr. we find hint advertising in the BriAtol Gazt:te,
eat he had established a Brewery at Clifton. The families of
Clifton and Bristol, as he. are re.peerfully informed, that
they may now be supplied with geaable Table Beer, produced
from the best. Malt an Hope, and whe2 exempt from any other
ingrediettl whatrver.' He afterwards led to make a voluntary
etWavit ao the same effect. On colnalting the Records of the
Court of F.:chequer. however, we find that a very few mooths alter
the date of the above advertisement, seventy gallons of ether
`,nitrate were-seized from Hecry Hunt, of the Clifton gesseine
Brewery, and were condemned. Michaelmas Te.so, 1007. This
awkward little accident, it seems, gave the Bristol men a son of
distaste for Mr. Hunt's rester beer, and no great Wish foe hie
affidavits; and the consequence was, that be (Jett up the brewery.

Extract of a lette.i dated Aix-la-Chapelle, August
15 :----"since the coolness between the Emperor
Alexander and Bernadotte 'has inereutult: to..so•great
a degree as to leave scarcely any hope of a recon-
ciliation, we are not a little curious to weertain the
policy England will observe, should the party among
the Swedish nobility who meditate the overthrow of
Bernadotte receive support and encouragemerlt front
Russia. The light in which the Swedish Monarch
is regarded by the other Powers of' Europe, is best
shown by the fact, that he has already addressed
himself to three different Courts, in order to obtain
the hand of a Princess for his son Oscar, and has
received a refusal from them all. These three

Volititat Lietrosspect.

TIM grant of a pare stun of money at the close
oftlie late Session of l'erliament, for the purpose of
etietntregieg limigtatiotetotille Cape of Good Hope,
struck us, at the time of its passing the Le-
gislatitre, as one of these .wretched and mieurahle ex-
pedients which have so naithrinly marked the policy
of our present Rulers, though the press of other
matter prevented us from then adverting to it ; and
..IC astonishment was still further excited ut the lit-
tle opposition made toit, us a more impolitic or un-
necessary waste of public money and of public
strength never was committed. It may now seem
Lite to be canvassing a measure decided on more than
a month ago, but the visaing events of the day, and
the erroneous opinions so generally prevalent upon
ehie subject, may still render it not unworthy of at-
tention. A meeting W:44 the other day held at
leeels to take into consideration the propriety of a
pricer stdiseriptiun to aid the emigration of about
14,e Anu.cand persons, belonging to that place, and
to furnish the means of enabling theta to quit their
moire land. Some individual, howeven, had the
sci4.lo to suggest that, if timer should mend, these
peoele would again be wanted, and the project ac-
coriLogly Wee &opt. Several of the public Jour-
mils arc also devoting their pages to the un-
worthy of of receraniendiue both the general
principle of sech a system, end the application by
Government of the public Revenue in furtherance
of such lepurpose. The Editor of the Times has
discovered that " Colonization ought to be regarded
its the. fin t ef uil great objects ; for it is in fact en-
lerging the praluetive surfiwe of the kingdom,
leinging into cultivation an immense extent of hi-
therto barrea territory, and reinftweing the soil of
Leg:ead lay smother soil tar more than equal m her
tAs a eeteat, and beyond all calculation- excelling
Leg',: in fertility ." He has. further dist:even-el that
toolaany of our own waste lands at home have been
u:rettly rendered productive, and the mu:reeked
qeantity of corn brought to the central nawkats has
ameply injured the lower classes," and lastly, "that it
. dreadful to observe how our peasantry have not
only been injured, but erfingeislacc/ by the inexorable
doctrine that lathe capitals employed in Agriculture
are the most profitable in their application." In.st
publication so generally respectable arul enlightened,
it was not without regret that we faund such a
airing of unwarrantable assumptions, idle nonsense,
and erroneous theories. These may be harsh terms,
but such reelining deserves no better. We can
readily admit that the parent State of our society is
wrong, and requires correction ; that the body po-
-I;tic is sick, and loudly calls for healing. But what
is the WiS(10111, or what• the merit of thet treatment,
whish, the moment a Ural) becomes disordered,
cruelly and inhumanly cuts it off, regardless of
eiet.er the blemishes or the invitee:rice whit& may
fellow from its his. With respect to Colonization,
Ns e know that the great States of antiquity, in their
most flourishing periods, often permitted numerous
bodies of their subjects to leave their present' coun-
try, and to form settlements as their own inclina-
tions led them ; nor would we now be understood
ne wishing to prevent the same liberty of will and
uctiun, here. But both Greece and Italy were in
very different circumstances at thole periods front
what we are now placed in ; and there was farther
uleo this must important dissimilarity between their
policy in this point, and ours—that a band of Greek
or Roman adventurers quitted. their country of their
men free will, and formed wherever they pleased to
settle, establishments and laws, and institutions,
totally independent of the parent stuto. Every
Aang was there left to find its own level,. and the
r. hole interference of the Mother Country was

wards these whom she still considered as her chil-
