other flags were white ; en one adieu' was inscribed " din
Cults Laws," and oar the other " kir Ids of Man." These
were hitlowed by a band of music, and immediately afar

arrived at the Exchange, the carriage stopped at the flout
dour, and the manw wished to brave given "a spire otitis
quality," by niakilig tan harangue to the subscribers to the
newsroom, who were looking at the " conga impudent mail
living" from the windows and dour. But the moment hr
opened his month, he was sabred *Olt every tia4rl: of iudig-
aunt contempt, and lie was obliged to give tip his intention,
for thehiases and groans 'lithe gentlemen whim' lie wished to
lteertme his onditors, drowned even his stentorian pawns, and
irls- soy lons moved onwards with their Feelings load, to
the hustings (if so the seaffolding may lie railed), which was
erected on Ott ground near St. regret' chinch, new rented

and Ogden, whose oratorical linnets have *been all heard
open the lame groomd previonsl, to the blanket march.
Qrater. Knight, we understand, opened the business of the
day by moving that Mister nom should take the Chair. He
did so, and proceeded in speechify ; lie thanked them tar
their favour, Hoar of elevating him to the high honour of being
their clisirmnit at such a meeting, interlarding his inflamma-
tory harangue with libellous invert"' cA against the }lonic of
