On Saturday last a Meeting was held .in a large
room at Huddersfield, in pursuance of a public re-
quisition, for the purpose of congratulating her
Majesty on her return to this country, and her ac-
cession to the throne. The meeting, considering
the shortness of the notice, was numerously at-
tended. Mr. James Booth. merchant, of Hud-
dersfield, war called to the Chair.
After the notice calling the meeting had been
r( ad, Mr. CLAY, in proposing the first Resolution,
V.sserved, that he held in his hand • Resolution,
expressive of the deep sorrow they felt at the perse-
anutions, deprivations, indignitirs, and hardships,

jesty's enemies, or to enumerate the privations and
iosul•s which had been heaped upon her Majesty
l•om• the year 1806 —the petits(' of the former
investigation into her conduct, when the per-
juries of the Douglases were aimed against her

4-ution. It was impossible to contemplate these
'series of pe►secutions, without feeling the mo►t
lively indignation, or to withhold our high admi-
urtion of the magnanimous conduct of her Majesty.
Mr. Clay concluded a very able speech, by moving
the first Resolution, which was carried unanimously.
The second resolution was moved by Mr. Wrig-
ley, -in the absence of Mr. Glover. who was pre-
vented by indisposition to attend, who observed
that lie bad twice had the honour or being pre•
tented to her Majesty when Princess of Wales.
He had been passenger in the same ship with her,
and there as well as uo shore he had numerous op-
portunities of noticing the conduct of her Royal
-Highness, which on all occasions was dignified and
affable, and such as might defy the breath 4.1
-calumny. This resolution was carried with the
lame unanimity as the first.
Mr. WRIGLEY then proposed an Address to he►:
Majesty, founded upon the resolutions which had
been passed ; in proposing this he made • number
of striking observations. The Address was carried
by acclamation.
A vote of thanks was then moved to the Chair-
man, and carried. who shortly returned thanks for
the honour which had been done him, and expressed
his hope that they would be all found at their ports,
ready to defend their tights, and to stand forwards
in defence of injured ocence when attacked by
powerful guilt. The meeting was then dissolved.

On Wednesday afternoln, a great number of
people sueinhled to witness the cruel /diversion of
baiting a bull in a shallow of the river near the
bridge at Rochdale, Lancashire, when the pressure
ul►on the wall became so great that it gave way and
fell into the river—six men who were under the wall
were instantly crushed to death, a great number of
men, women, and children, were precipitated into
N►r watercourse. many of whom are very seriously
burl, iea►e of them dangerously.
