When we yesterday bad the pleasure of pie'

smiting to one Readers an authentic Copy of IIJ
Speech delivered by the PaiNcs REGBNT from lb*
Throne,we regretted that we had not time to express

our sentiments on the subject ; but we believe thol
our sentiments aresuppor cd by those of the Peopl•
in general, notwithstanding the great propor►ion of
those who have been deluded by Rebels and Troia
tors, under the mask of Reformers. A more dig-
nified answer to au Address which pi judges
a question that - is to be derided by thg
Law, we believe, never issued froll any Throne'
It was temperate, firm, judicious, and mai
throughout, worthy of a great Prince who
felt for the dignity of the high station wbich

he occupies, and resolved to support that dignitYi
yet duly regardful of the Claim, of Justice and
humanity. There was indeed a spirit of mlr.
nanimous Royalty in this Speech, that seemed
rather to flow from the spontaneous impols:
of personal feeling, and a sense of what is du°
to Justice and the character of a Monarch,
then to be a studied composition. The ma'
ner in which it was delivered by his Royol
Highness, fully justified this conception, and a.
it is probable, that the Prince communicated
his intentions to his Ministers, it is much to their
credit that they felt the necessi:y of some rebuke
to those who presumed to advise the Crown tO
censure before trial, and to condemn whet lb°
Law might pronounce just, necessary, and in4vP
table.

Mr. WAlTltmArt.—This Gentleman has addre69°
ed a long Letter to the Livery of LondOn, the
purpose of which is severely to condemn the Loklll
MaYost for refusing to convene a Common 1-la,llo
to insist upon their right not only to demand [Pit
to obtain one. The LORD MAYOR he descritrel
as " merely the Chairman" on such an occasion
and the implication is that he has no discretionsl
power when a Requisition is made. To prove his
historical knowledge, he mentions the instance °t
a Citizen who, in 1G76, in addressing bis 1404'
citizens, observed, that " it was of no use to elect
officers to protect their rights unless they had terns

to protect," and this truism and identical proposfr
tion the worthy Alderman considers as a proof
sagacity that ought to be recorded. To prove bi°
liberality, Mr.SVAITH MAN mentions the late Banos
NVATSON, a man respected and respectable, $1
'' that servile Contractor, Commissary, Pensioner'
and Baronet." To say nothing of the indecent"'
of thus slandering the dead, there is nothing
mina! in being a Conbnctor any more than being
a Linen Draper, or in being a Commipsary• °f
even a Pensioner, when a man has by long ser'
vice deserved such reward from Government ; bni
as to Mr. WATsoles having been a Baronci, *l4
cannot hope to excuse him its the eye of Mrs
WAITHMAM, who, doubtless, is too much a Rodi;
cal Refoimer to view titles with any feeling lon
contempt. The only judicious part of W.
WityrumaN's Letter is, where he counsels ti°
Livery from meeting in the open street, if (be/
cannot obtain the Hall, but perhaps he expecte4.

Iti4C3S to an PRINCE 'ZetaNl' teas prOptised
and adopted, which, among other passages, says,
that
the force of truth compels them to describe
the acts at Manchester as illegal and unprovoked,
418gtaeeful to the National Character, and re-
l'aguant to all the feelings of huinanity."—
. The Massacre at Manchester"—" the atro-
%tg attack on the People's rights"—" illegally
*nunded and imprisoned," are passagts among
the Address, Speeches, and Resolutions at this
Itleeting, though, as we have said, the matter is
t't issue, and condemnation consequently preci-
htate, if not unjust. Mr. St. JutlN, a Naval
%cer, avowed himself a solitary opponent of the
esolutions, calling upon the Meeting not to pre-
jadge the question, but to wait till evidence of
facts should be laid before the Public:, but this
*lse, moderate, and rational counsel was disre-
tattled.

The trial of Henry Stent took place this day

The Lord Mayor in his state carriage with his
attendants, accompanied by the Recorder, the
S'vord Bearer, the Sheriffs of London, with
Ilbtne of the Aldermen and Common Councilmen,
Preceded by the two City Marshals on horseback,
arrived at Carlton House a little hefore twelve
ci'cl)ek (the hour appointed by the Regent), with
the Address lately voted to his Royal Highness at
the Court of Common Council. They were con-
thteted into the Royal Presence, when the Prince,
lOtended by Lords Liverpool and Sidmonth on one
and the Doke of Wellington and Lord Cas-
tlereagh, and surrounded by OfficerF of State, &c.
teceived the same, and his Royal Highness hav-
ing returned a suitable reply on the occasion (sec
itll!. of yesterday), the Deputation took their
ka're of the Royal Presence at about half-past
twelve, and returned in the same order of pro-
tession• A Guard of Honour was in attendance
to the court-yard of Carlton House.
The Civic i'vocession consisted of the State Car-
riages of the Lord -Mayor and Sheriffs, and six-
teen private carriages. A considerable crowd WaS

Felt as air the legal and constitutional means of obtaining

" That for the exercise of this right, a Meeting was held
tt Manchester on the 16th August last, and wit limit enter-

it

7,11t1 that the people composing it were therefore acting un-
aer the sanction of the laws, and entitled to the protection of
lite Magistrates.
We have, nevertheless, learnt with grief and astonish-
'oent,-that w bile the Meeting was so assembled, and when
,De act of riot or tumult had taken place, the fvlagistraies
shed their warrants for the apprehension of certain persons
c'eß Present, for the execution of which, although no re-
!tance waa made on the part of the people, or those agaiust

i„„ d of the military, when, without. any previous warn-
iiu-`,touf their intention, the ;Manchester Yeomanry Cavalry
titVy tushed forward, opened a passage through the owl-
kaoife, furiously attacking, by force of arms, peaceable and

VOR TUF
or CHrineil BRIEFS.

LE'l ft V.

M. RIDITOE-Whoever will take the trouble
to read carefully the Act of the 4di and 5' lr of
Queen ANNE, on the subject of Briefs, will be
convinced,, I think, that no great abuse can pos-
sibly take place in the receipt aril application of
the collections—so strictly is.every step guarded
by public documents, referred to, and recorded
in, tin; Court of Chancery. The chief evil, for
which an etlicient remedy, appears to be wanted,
is the neglecting to return the Briefs, as the Act
requires, from the several Chnrches, Chards, &c.
In a paper now before me, printed by order of
the House of Commons, in May of the present
year, 1819, containing an exact account of all
the Briefs for Churches or Chapels, issued since
Michaelmas 1805, it appears that the number •of
Briefs returned always falls considerably short of
the number sent out. The number issued is al-
ways the same, namely 10,800. The number re-
turned continually varies, in a greater or less pro-
portion. The highest number that occurs in many
years is 9,578, which is no lesithan 1222 defi-
cient. The lowest, in the saute period, does not
exceed 9,252, which falls short of the number
issued, by 1548. I have good reason to think
that the printing of this Parliamentary Docu-
ment, which throwi the clearest light upon
the whole subject, was intended as preparatory
to some new and improved enactment on this
important subject. I know, indeed, that it has
been zealously taken up, by an able and en-
lightened Member of Parliament, and that what
shall he done will probably be done with the
soundest judgment and effect. This knowledge
might, perhaps, be thought to render my present
addresses to the Public altogether superflu‘s,
since the cause is in so much better Wands. But
my opinion is very different ; and my sole ambi-
tion has been to prepare Cie way, as an humble
pioneer, for such Legislative Acts as may here-
after be passed for rendering these Briefs efficient;
and thus supplying every want, which otherwise
must remain, after all that can be done, either by
the• Parliamentary grant for building, or by the
excellent Society for repairing and enlarging
Churches.

The office, which I have tlpis taken up, is far
from being superfluous ; for, as long as the inve-
terate opinion shall possess the public mind, th;it
the chief part of the money collected on Briefs is
eitlo wasted in tees, or diverted into some other
channel, it will be • impossible, by any law, to
obtain. a cordial reception for them. Such a re-
ception, I mean, as the heart' of every Briton
would spontaneously bestow, if no suspicion con-
tinued to dwell upon the mode of application.—
'to obtain this is the object of my Letters,
which ere merely intended to prepare the public
mind, for what I trust is meditated, by persons
of more influence in the State.

The Parliamentary Paper above-mentioned
contains, in parallel columns,' the following par-
ticulars, respecting every Church'and Chapel as.
sisted by a Brief. 1. The name of the place.
2. The Date. 3. The Estimate of the sum
wanted. 4. The number of copies of the Brief
sent out. 5. The number returned. 6. The sum
collected. 7. The expeucc., of the patent. 8. The
collector's salary, or remuneration. 9. The net
proceeds, or cleric money gained for the Charity.
10. The times at which the money was paid in.
The very possibility of staling all these particu-
lars, with absolute precision, in-every instance,
proves abundantly that nothing fraudulent or
underhand could possibly take place on any oc-

casion.

On the averages of these several particulars, as
they appear in this most satisfactory document,
some important remarks may be made; hut as
they would lead us, at present, into a detsil of too
great extent, I shall reserve them for the subject
of a future communication, from
Yours,
PHILADELPHUS.

.MARIIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—Ou Thursday, the
16th instant, was mai-lied iu the parish chute') of

Grace the Lord Archbishop of Youte, the Right

We understand, by letters received in the City
by the last Mail from Valencia, that an immense
number of persons (indeed so many as 140 are
mentioned) have becn.put to the torture, in the
castles and dungeons of Murvietiro, with a view
to exact from them confessions respecting any po-
pular corn motions that might be dreaded in the
country.—(Morning Chronicle.)
Avlvices from Newfoundland of the 20th of Au•
gust state, that his Majesty's ship Tll\oll4l' was
driven on shore during a thick-fog on the 13th or
14th of July, at Bargepoint, LabradOr, but, after
cutting away her mein and mizen-masts, and
throwing her guns overboard, was got off, and
proceeded to the eaitward.j
