To THE EDITOR OF THE MAIDTONE JOURNAL.

Sr a—As a ,lonenalist yourself, perhaps you will have the
kindness to enlighten the ignorance I profess to have on the
subject, and inform toe if there is any spirit of intuition, any
supernatural fores'ght, any extraordinary lucid faculty, which
attaches more to a person the moment he assumes the cha-
racter of Editor of a Newspaper, than to the rest of mankind ?
I am led to ask this question in consequence of the decided
tune which 1 have obsers'ed has been taken upon a late lament-
ed occurt cure at Manchester, by a Paper of very extensive cir-
culation, and which I confess I trace been in the habit of tak-
ing for several years past, I mean, The Times. Now,. Sir,
,with all deference to the facti and evidence upon which they
have thought proper to proantlgate their 'judgment, I do,
with great. humility, think it, possible tbat,.in the words of
the Regent's Answer to the Address of the Common Council
of Loudon, they may "be unacquainted with the circorn-
• stances .which preceded the. late Meting at. Manchester,"
and may have beers " incorrectly informed of those which
".attended it;" and that, therefore, unless the Editor shOuld
really hegifted as I have hinted in the beginning of my letter,
be might have snspended the llberal.judgvaext he has passed
upon tire whole proceedings of that Meeting, and the mode-
rate epithets he has bestowed upon the constituted Authori-
ties for their couduct upon that occasion; but I believe he
said, " lye have the assurance of the confirmation of the facts
upon which our judgment is formed by the signature of roost
respectable persons." With all his predilection in favour of
the orderly and peaceable intentions which actuated Mr.
Hunt upon the occurrence alluded to, I cannot doubt, but at
least he must consider Mr. Hoot as respectable, if pro hoe
vice only, and he has under his own hand gravely assured us,
that his head was cut at by a sabre as sharp as a razor, (I
use his own words,) but that his white hat turned the edge of
it, and preserved this amiable moralist, and most pure and
immaculate Reformer, for greater and more elevated ends.—
Rismm ttneatis !

" Audi alleram Pattern," is a sound and liberal axiom,
and I Nen ul it recommend it tat he consideration of The Times.
If it has nothing in view bu j t ustice, pure uusullied justice,
what should have induced such a prefatory observation to
the instrtion of the temperate and excellent Address of the
Inhabitants of Blackheath, &c. as the following :-.-." We have
" not time now to make any Comment upon it (the Addreis),
" further than it seems most carefully (shall we say corn-
" ;tingly) to avoid even the slightest. allusion to the conduct
" of the Manchester Magistrates and Manchester Yeomen.
" Call you this backing of your friends, a plague of such
" backlog." So that not hill! suits this most unprejudiced
Editor which is not mixed tip with unqualified abuse of these
asthorities. . Really, Mr. Editor of The I fear there
lurks cloven foot, notwithstanding the loyal mantle you
sometimes affect to clothe yourself withal ; anti that in thus
brining the popular outcry, the extended circulation of the
Paper is more considered than the cause of justice. I hope
to see you improve—indeed I do flatter myself this improve-
ment is approaching, fur upon just looking at the publica-
tion of Saturday last, I observe, after some sapient and ora-
cular comments.which lilt two of the columns, the concluding
paragraph runs thus There is in the Answer, as well as
" in the Address, On wiuestionable disposition to take an
" ex-pane view of the whole subject and so NI- it may be
" confessed the I'vlinisters and the Common Council are pret-
" ty touch on the same level." Bravo h—in tittle 1 hare no
doubt we shall get at the TRUTH.
40th Sept. 1819.

*** We have taken the foregoing Letter from a respecta-
ble Provincial Journal, but we conceive that the insidious
hypocrisy, the venal vacillations, and the deep malignity of
ne Times, demand something more than the playfulness of
ridicule, or the coldness of contempt.

ING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER RACES, TUESDAY.-SECOIk;D DAY.

The occurrences of Nlonday respecting the St. Leger, are
now the theme of general conversation at Doncaster. The
followi:ig may be relieti.upoo as a correct detail of the cir-
cumstances tvhieb then took place. It appears that the stale
trick of making false starts to harass the favourite horses,
was resorted to by some of the Yorkshire Jockeys. M. Lock-
wood, the Jg4e, seeing what was going on, rode among the
Jockeys, anti told them, they should positively start after
they bad all anslAered they were a eady ; on this being done,
he gave the word " Go," and then immediately annotated the
Judge's Chair to adjudge the Race. Mr. Feagnson's Anto-
nio came ha first, was weighed, and declared the winner;
when the Judge and every other person were much aStolliSh-
rd at seeing 4gricola„ followed by Sir Walter, Harmodius,
and Wild Boy, come lit, and the riders exclnim, they had not
started. M. Lockwood then.observed, lie had once started
-the Race and decided as to the winner, and would not start
any horse for the Same Race. The Stewards, however could
not agrte on thebusiness,.and the horses We stated yesterday
ran u second time. It is to be referred to the Jockey Club at
Newmarket, to decide whether Antonio or Sir Walter are en-
titled to the Race; and large bets are made on the event.
This day (Tuesday) at twelve o'clock, betting is 10 to 1 that
the Stakes will be given to Antonio.
