It was said of a York County Meeting held in
the time of Sir George Savile, that there were in
one room persons who enjoyed an aggregate income
trom landed property of 800,0001. a year ; and it
might be asserted with equal truth, that the income
of the nobility and gentry on the hustings at the
late County Meeting, exceeded one million stcr.
ling; and yet this, say the Ministerial Papers, was
a Radical Reform Meeting ! the persons constituting
which, of course, according to the Loyal Declaration,
wish for a division of property, and " hold out the
property of others as their inevitable pr-y." W hat
absurdities these people involve themselves in !

RADICAL REFORMERS.

The character of 11 E Nita H v NT, Eaquire, begins
to develops itself, and we have no doubt but that
the opinions we have always held and 'expressed of
this honest, active, upright, gentlemanly advocate of
Annual Parliaments and Universal Suffrage, will
ultanately prove critically correct; even the &di-
CalS themselves begin to know bins ! IVlienever
a man soars above the level for which be is
calculated, it is the duty of those who have
Alm power to bring him back to his proper elevation,
and under this feeling we have groat pleasure from
. inserting the &Bowing Letter, because it will, we
believe, be instrumental towards consigning to the
oblivion of contempt a man who never would have
risen from it but for the outrageously, illegal, and
rash conduct of the Manchester Magistrates :
Draft Stn.—With the greatest reluctance I have to commu-
nicate a circumstance which I would most willingly attribute to
forgetfulness, and consign it altogether to oblivion ; but there
are other circumstances attached to it which entirely bet aside 1
such a conclusion. • 1 colifces I do not like its completion. which

ti ii in coatidsnce; as I would nor en any account that it should
go forth •t• the world, being of that nature which would give our
enemies full scope to descant very unfasourably upon the conduct
of our champion.
To state it fairly, and submit the whole to your candid and im-
partial appreciation, I most refer to some circumstances anterior
• to that wherein I allude to.
You doubtless remember, that prior to the Smithfield meeting,
the committee fo: Ole penny subscription was summoned to attend

an onler to draw die same, widen he did, and gave it to me as
Secretary to the Committee ot Two Hundied fur that purpose,
arhich order I presented to Mr. Hunt: he looked at it, and said,
he bad no cash till lie h ad sent a check to the Bank ; this was on
Monday morning, the 19th ult. In the afternoon f called again,
and urged our want of money for the present use; he requested
me to call in the evening. I in your presence borrowed atL
note of Mr. Bullshit:, and in die evening called again upon Mr.
Hunt, who, after some hesitation, said he could nut pay the said
suit without the sanction of the public, which must be obtained
at the public meeting • this, I obsetvoil, wad.' place tie in a very
awkward situation, and that•if he persisted I must be necessiatml
to borrow inure money, tar the business must stand still, and the
object of the meeting weakened, if nut defeated ; here I left him,
and Dr. %Yasuo advanced 11 in furtherance of what we were in
punwit of. The inuetitig past ; tbs, following usurping the
obtaining bail for Mr. ilarnson occupied our attention for sense
time; atter which I again urged the payment of the penny sub-
scription looney, and was by no means pleased with his seeming
reluctance to comply. lie asked me if there were any deficiency:
I replied, " Sir, I believe there will be a deficit of upwards of six
pounds." lie exclaimed, " What, after the 4/. 14s. Gd. is paid."
Sir, although the expenditure is nearly V. under our cal-
culatiun." He requested me tocall again in two or three hours,
. and he would have eliange for a check. I called at the time, and
he then asked me if I would take a check to the bank of Messrs,
Williams and Co. Birciiin Lane, to be cashed : I agreed. The
. check 1 found was drawn by Charles Pearson, Esq. for five
pounds. I presented it, and had the amount in five one-pound
notes: these I gave to Mr. Cunt, and he ranatested Mr. Giles,
who was in the room, to oblige him with solver for one of them.
Mr. Giles did so, and Mr. Hunt gave me tour of the notes, and
• s4s. and Gd. in silver, the amount 01 the penny sub.eriptiun, i
which (though be, as I thought, seemed reluctantly to part with)
said he was glatdto get rid of.
New. Sir, we come to the point which baffles my conjectures,
end which I most unwillingly touch upon. You had informed
isle that Mr. Pearson had pro;nised, that after the meeting, should
tare be a deficit, he would make it up to tile amount of 3/. Mr.
Hunt had left town, and at your instigation I waited upon

" I did not wait till atter.the meeting; I gave it; I gave a

On Monday night, at the different meetings of
the Union Societies of Radical Refbrmers. in-Lon-
don and Westminster, the bust of Mr. Hunt was
publicly broken to pieces, and he was pronounced
unworthy of their future confidence. A gentleman
from the country, it is reported, is invited by the
Committee of Management to carry the intended
electing of the Radicals at Fi.-.sbury-market, on
.Monday next, to take the chair upon the occasion."
Mr. Thistlewood has written another letter. It
is to Lord Sidwouth, requiring compensation to the
amount of 1801. and compound interest, the alleged
value of property belonging to that Gentleman,
which he asserts was illegally detained on board the
Alien brig. Mr. iVaddington was the bearer of this
letter to Lord Sidmouth.

The English Reformers at their last general
meeting directed their chairman to enclose their ap-
peal in a circular letter to all persons in lieiand who
Were supposed to pciseess influence with their Catho-
lic countrymen. The following :newer was written
by Lord Cloncurr; :
