the s-nve of the inhobitanta upon the coodact of

corastance by some place-holders and place•busiteir
residing in Liverpool to occupy • large portion-of
the Hall at an early hour with two or three nen.
dred of their own immediate servaiet and work-
men, and by the clamorous exercise of their power-
ful lungs to prev.mt the possibility not merely of
discussion in general, bat even of opening to the
meeting the purpose for which it had been cam-
vaned. Generally speaking, when a neeetii•g is
fairly collected, without any auerapt at selecting
the persons, or preventing sue chest or portion of
the people from attending it, accortrog to thew
own convenience god desires, the interreptiow Of a
speaker I.v an evident majority or the assembly,
affords a• certain a means of collecting the prevail-
ing tenements of that majority, as if any one me-
son were deputed by the rest to expreu their
ueited opittiotis. It is in fact by the loud expres-
sion of applatnic or censure at the delivery of opi-
nions pleasiug to them or otherone, that a swat
boily of people, cud more particularly of illiterate
people, alone can convey their individual and eol•
lective sentiments. No person who has ewer ven-
tured to address a Covent-garden meeting, or even
the Livery of London, can long be in tiouht re•
'petting the prevailing sentiments of his audiestee.
But parked us the Town Halt of Liverpool ee's
deadly was on Wednesday, no coliciti,ion can be
drawn from the tumult coticer-ong the actual

meetings might be drawn from the clamour of the
assembly. An opportunity will, we trust, soon
given in Liverpool of trying the real strength of
the Nlinisterialiats in that town, for the Mayor
