ORATOR HUY I.

Barnet, Sunday crening, 9 o'clock.
MY DEAR WRST-1 have this moment, fur the
first time, seen it announced in the Observer, that
it is the intention of my friends to meet me at
Islington, and to conduct me to the Crown-end-
Audior to dinner to-morrow by a circuitous rout,
through Finsbury-square, &c. ; I beg that you
will prevail upon those who have the manage-
ment of this business to let me pass down Gos-
weli-street, by St. Paul's, direct to the Crown
and Anchor. lam sorry upon such an occasion
as this, when the indignant voice of time whole
nation should be unanimously resounded from one
end of the land to the other, at the infamous
conduct of the Magistrates and Yeomanry of
Manchester, to hear that there should be any little
difference of opinion who should be the first, or who
should be the last, to have an opportunity of ex-
pressing this sentiment. 1 will be at Islington
by one o'clock to-morrow, when 1 hope to meet
you and all our friend's.

I am, dear 11,7 est, yours, sincerely,
H. HUNT.

TO ANOTHER FRIEND.

Barnet, Sunday evening, 9 o'clock.
DEAR Stft,—l am sorry to hear that there has
been any squabbling about my coming into Lon-
don to-morrow. I was in hopes that all the
friends of liberty would have joined heart in
hand upon this important occasion. I never
have interfered, either directly or indirectly, with
any one about it, and I am still anxious to
leave it entirely to the people.—l am, dear Sir,
yours sincerely,

Trie THEATRE.—The Opera of The Maid of the
Mill, once a great favourite of the town, and well
worthy of revival, was represented at Covent-
Garden Theatre on Saturday last. Mr. PHILIPP3,
who possesses considerable talents as an Actor and
a Vocal Performer, and who is evidently a good
Musician, appeared in the part of Lord Aimworth.
He supported it throughout with judgment and
feeling, and. invested the character with a
gentlemanly ease and dignity which we have
rarely seen in arty of his predecessors. Ins
performance receives a lust and liberal tribute of
approbation from the Morning Papers in general,
with indeed the exception of only one but as '
the writer in that Paper has been stiled tie Vam•
pine Critic, who probably is never pleased with
any body bat himself, Mr. PHILIPPS will i.o well
to disregard his praise or censure. Miss TREE
Was the Patty, and a more interesting representa-
tive of the character never was seen ; her acting
excited sympathy, and her singing admiration.
Mr. PHILIPPS and this engaging young actress
were encored in several airs, and they both en-
joyed a very deserved tribute of public applauie.
FAWCETT in Sir Harry, TAYLOR ill Giles, EMERY
in Ralph, DuRusET in Morren, CHAPMAN in Fair-
field, and Mrs. DAVENPORT in Lady Sycamore, all
exerted themselves so ably as to promise renewed
popularity to the piece.—The Theatre was well
attended.

Miss O'NEILL took leave of us for the sea-
son, on Tuesday night last, in the charocter of
Evadne, in the tragedy of that name, which she
performed with her usual excellence. The house
was crowded to excess, and indeed, during all the
nights of her performance, it was in general well
filled, a proof of the taste and judgment of the
Edinburgh audience, and a tribute to the merits
of this inimitable Actress.—(Edinburgh Courant,
Sept. 9.)

The Persian Ambassador, on his late visit to
the University of Oxford, dined at the Star Inn,
and alter dinner invited all the Ladies who hap-
pened to be in the house to take tea with him ;
the invitation was accepted, and his Excellency
added to the entertainment of the female party,
by singing them several Persian songs.
Colonel LAKE succeeds, as heir-at-law, to the
estates of the late Rev. Dr. JACKSON ; his per-
sonal property be has bequeathed to his godson,
a youth of 19, a most exemplary character.
Among his bequests, the learned Doctor gave to
each of his pall-bearers (who were of his own se-
lection from the villagers of Falpham) a hat,
round frock, half-boots, and 21.
Mr. COBBETT has been invited to return to this
country. It is positively stated, that two of his
chief creditors have offered to allow him 6001.
a year, provided that he would publish his paper
for their advantage, and allow them to receive
the ptoits of it till their claims, amounting to
40001. ate discharged. Mr. COBBETT, we under-
stand, has accepted these conditions, and is soon.
expected in this country.—(Englishman.)
Early in the morning of Saturday last
,a darinir.
robbery was committed in the neighbourhood of
Slob-hill, a few miles south of Daikeith, by two
men speaking the Irish dialect.- They forcibly
entered the house of a man named Bryden, a
carrier, who travels. through the-country collect-
int; eggs, butter, &c. by breaking the bolts of the
door with large stones, and stole 421. in money,
and bills to the amount of- 1801. ; they also
broke open a chest, front which they took several
yaks of blankets ; a quantity of butter, and a
cheese were also carried away by them, whicla
the poor Mall intended to bring to market that
day. The greater part of the money belonged
to some persons for whom be was•to transact bu-
siness in town ; the mats is severely bruised, and
his wife is also cut, but she was able to come to
town on Saturday, to lodge information, and
stop payment of the bills.—(Edinburgh Courant,
Sept. 9 )
The dead body of a female was discovered undei
a hedge, in a field near Fareham, on Thursday, in
a very shocking mutilated state ; some of the limbs
were torn apart, it is supposed, by dogs, and were
found in different parts of the field. It is not known
who the unfortunate woman was ; but it is con-
lectured she is the same who had passed through
Fareliatn, in much distress, about two months
since, when she appeared so emaciated as to be
unable to eat the food which several persons gave
her. In such a state of suffering and respondency,
it is supposed she lay down under the hedge, and
expired from the timely want of food .! Coronet's

MANCHESTER, SEeT. 10.

runTHEn. ADJOURNMENT OF THE INQUEST Ai
OLDHAM.

This morning, soon after nine o'clock, Mr.
'Harmer and Mr. Denison left this place to attend
the Inquest, which was to he held by adjourn.
went at °Matt, on the batty of John Lees, tak-
ing with them tour hackney coaches and one stage
coach loaded with wnnesses, among whom were
many men, women, and boys, who received se.
sere sabre wounds at the Alerting on the 16th of
In 4 month, and some of whose wounds are yet
unhealrti.

The interest which this business excited, was
so grew, :hat some thousands were at the town
of Olilant to learn the result of the proceedings
at the Inquesi ou this uofortunate young man ;
hot their zuriosity was disappointed by anothvr
I.ingolar adiouvoatenr, the particulars of which
are hereunder detailed—
On the Solicitors entering the room at the sign
of the Duke of York, at Oldham, they found the
jilly just assembled, and Mr. Milne, sod Alr.
Batty there, wheii the following conversation took
place :
Mr. Harmer, addressing Mr. Milne—l presume
Sir, you are the Coroner, and that we may now
proceed to the investigation.
Mr. Milne-1 am .a Coroner, but not for this
dice ; and as Mr. Farren who belongs to this
district, is not here, I shall advise this Voting
man (alluding to Mr. Batty) to adjimrn the
In-
quest fora fortnight.
Mr. Harmer—Sorely, Sir, you cannot be seri-
ous in this dyterntination ? On ‘Vednesday last
Mr. Batty positively promised, that if Mr. Farren
did not return by to-day, that you would certainly
take the Inquisition.
Mr. Milne—lt Is not my business, and I will
not take it. I will have no responsibility ou me;
end Mr. Batty is not, I think, sufficiently expe-
rienced to take it.
Mr. [fanner—This objection may be obviated
by Mr. Batty as the Deputy to Mr. Farren, pro-
ceeding to take the evidence in your presence, by
which he will have the benefit of your assistance
and advice, and after the evidence has been taken,
if any difficul:y occurs, the Inquest may be ad-
journed until Mr. Farrell returns.
Mr. Milne—l will not take the Inquest, and
shall advise Mr. Batty not to proceed in it. Ido
not choose to enter into any further explanations;
and, it it was my Inquest, I would not allow any
one to interfere or take noses, and I will read you
sn ovinion to show that I should be justified in
such a proceediog.
Mr. Milne here read the opinion of a Counsel,
but not the case submitted to him ; from his an-
swer, however, it appeared, that a Solicitor at-
tended an inquest on behalf of an eccused or sus-
pected persoo, and not only insisted on question-
,,..,ing the witnesses, but behaved impertinently.
Mr.. Harmer—l submit, .Sir, that this case is
• not at all analogous. I attend here on behalf of
the parents of the deceased as an accuser, and
not to defend ; besides, I trust I arm incapable of
behaving indecorously, as it appears the person
did, to whom your case alludes, and I consider
that any person has a right to take notes of what
passes in a Public Court of Justice. My only
anxiety, however, is, that the investigation should
be immediately proceeded in, for it is monstrous
that"any delay should take place in inquiring into
the causes and circumstances of the death of a
fell Ow-creature who has lost his life by violence.
Many of the witnesses whom I have now here
have a second time come from a considerable dis•
lance, although extremely weak and ill able to
bear the fatigue of travelling. I may not per-
-baps be able again to collect them, and, if so, the
Jury will lose the benefit of their testimony; be-
-sides, and Nihat is of more importance, long ad-
journments in cases of murder would afford a most
dangerous precedent, unless the suspected parties
are in custody, because it would afford them time
to arrange and effect their escape.
Mr. Milne—l cannot take the inquest,. I have
not seen the body, and I understand it is buried.
Mr. Harmer—Alr. Batty has, and if your not
having seen the deceased is an objection your
entering into the investigation, the same objec-
.tion must apply to Mr. Farren, for he has not
seen the body.
Mr. Milne—Well, Sir, I cannot help it, I shall
not stop to altercate; the inquest must be ad-
journed till Mr. Farren is himself present ; and it
will be desirable.that some time should elapse, to
-allay the feelings on all sides, so that the inves-
tigation may be comtnenced with coolness and
temper.
Mr. Pe.arsc.n came into the room while Mr.
'Ankle was making this last observation, and, on
its conclusion, said, there.appears to he a strange
change in the Coroner's-opinion since last Satur-
day, for no idea of, party policy has prevented
from ,proceeding in the inquest on Daw-
son, although. be had been requested to delay
it. for a. day or two, because many tnateria
witnesses were then .attending the Assizes at Lan.

faster, .
, Mr. Milne--I wrote to you to say I must pro-
eeed.in the, inquest, and I have to complain of
gross misrepresentation in repinting the verdict
.f the Jury—, IVhoever sent it to the press
r.::;litted the last sentence, which alters its sense ;
and if I could find who did it, he should be pro-
ceeded against.• Mr. Milne then hastily quitted
the TOM.
Mr. Bitty—l have heard from Mr. Farren, and
be will be hcme in a week ; but I think it will be
best to adjourn it for a fortnight ; and I there-
fore adjourn this Court till Saturday, the 25tb
instant,--(Homing Chronicle.)

SUICIDB.—An inquisition was held on Satur-
day, at the Rose and Crown, Heston, before

life by blowing out his brains with a loaded blun•
derbuss. Verdict, " That the deceased had shot
himself in a state of temporary mental derange-
fnent."
