LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, 1824

PENENDEN. MEETING.

"FRIII.CY MORNING, NINE O'CLOCK.
The great meeting of the County of Kent, was
held; this day according_ to advertisement. At an
early hour. preparations were Made upon a proper
scale, to afford -facility to all wlio were desirous of
attending the Meeting. The prospect of the enclo-
sure seen from the surrounding heights was truly
enchanting. A waggon stage was erected for the
•High Sheriff and, his 'otlicers in front of the hut
which stands en the Heath ; waggona were arrang-
ed right arid left of this central point. On the right
of the Sheriff appeared the 'stands of the Liberal
party, placards were displayed, amongst which were
noticed the words " Civil and Religious Liberty,"
" NO Dictation of Clubs" " Legislative Influence
alone." On the left hand appeared the stands for
the Friends and Supporters of the Constitution as
by law• established. The. first waggon, guarded
by javelin men, was appropriated to Lord
chelsea and a great number Ofiiis • party. The long
range of waggons, adjoining that of Lard Winchil-
seaoindextending over he ' Heath, were occupied
by tl.,:z,:veoreen and faraers, wearing' oak in their •
Pis' . Their general _apPenrarice-' ,xerted
much interest. The men, diessed in smock frocks,
intermixed with the Sheriff's javelin-men, in scarlet
and light blue livery, made e. most romantic display.
The ring for the spectators, enclosed by ropes, did
not exceed 120 feet in diameter. By the attention
of the High Sheriff and his Officers, accommodation
was made for the preas. An enclosure was arranged
for them within a stake fence, close to the Sheriff's
waggon.
About ten o'clock the carriages began to drive
round the enclosure. The sound of music was
heard, and "Gad save the King" was performed
in good style.- A precession advanced on waggons,
uttering loud shouts; they appeared to be a Prc.
testant party from Rochester, brought up by a gen-
tleman named Nash. The placards on several of
the waggons' were, in addition to those we have
described, the following:—" Earl Radnor."—" Lord
Darnley andT.L. Hodges,Esq."—" Lord Sondes."
Lord Bexley, and Mr. Wells, the MeMber for
Maidstone, arrived, and took their stations in the
constitutional waggons.
Mr. Hunt arrived last night from Paris, accompa-
nied by Dr. Doyle,' purposely to attend the meeting.
Mr. Hunt goes back on Monday.
The majority of persons wearing oak leaves were
from Tunbridge Wells, and the supporters of Lord-
Winthelsea. _ _ _

• At half-past ten o'elock Mr. Shiel made his ap-
pearance on the ground. A procession from Canter-
bury with blue streamers and other insignia came
on the ground. Cobbett and HOnt came at half-
past ten, and took their station among the -civil and
religious liberty men. Cobbett addressed his party
long before the regular commencement of the busi-
ness, and at a distance from the Shedff 's stand.
-He was only heard by a few of his proselytes, several
exclaimed " Fry him on a gridiron.
The following is a sketch of his observations t-6—
its to the Catholic EMancipation, that was not their
affair, their object was to get rid of ,tithes-and taxes,
which kept the people of IrelaMd in their present
wretched condition.
Mr. Cope Err then begged leave to introduce Mr.
Henry Hunt to the Meeting, and several of the
party shook hands with that gentleman.

Mr. COBBETT then continued —" Gentlemen, as
to Catholie---EMancipation, it means rogueri,, and
'that is the plain English of it. Remember that !
(Cheers.)—Remember that they would have dis-
franchised the 40s. freeholders, and would have ta:;_,d
us to pay their Catholic Priests for teaching a reli-
gion which our parsons say is false. My feeble pen,
however, destroyed the project, and sent the rogues
back again disgraced. (Cheers.) • Gentlemen, they
would never have brought us here had they known
the consequence. We have no interest in
the matter which.. they have summoned this
meeting for. We 'will meddle with the tithes,
and the pluralities, and the church livings--or at all
events we will try at it, and there can be no harm
in trying.—( Loud cheers.)
A Person here interrupted Cobbett, and on re-
suming,' Cobbett said the Sherif cannot postpone
the meeting, and if he does we will remain here and
pass our petitidu.
• Mr. HO:v.---That might do for somebody on the
first of April, (laughter), but I do not think it will
do for the inhabitants of Kent, even on the Ist April.
I dare say the Sheriff will appear with his hands full
of Bank - notes, or some humbugging Stock Ex-
change cheques, but we will show him what we
mean. (At this instant a person put up a flag with
"NO show of hands .for an adjournment.") A wit
said, perhaps he (the Sheriff) will appear with a
bottle of blacking in his hand.--(Laughter.)—
Have you got any of your blacking here, Hunt ?
HUNT--No, but I'll send you plenty of it when I
get home. •
Mr. COBBETT, addressing the wit—Let us look
at your shoes. I dare say they want some of it:
Mr. HUNT--A fellow, whom we will suppose
come from the other side, has just informed us that
the moment Lord Darnley comes, be means to move
an adjournment of the Meeting, and that .then the
Sheriff means to adjourn it forthwith. Let them do
so if they like, bait it is all the same to them, we will
remain where we are, and our petition, I'll warrant
you, will pass for the petition of the inhabitants
of the county of Kent.—(Great cheers.) - •
Two chairs chairs were now handed into the waggon where
Hunt and Cobbett stood, and Cobbett said, " now
we have got a chair for the Sheriff, sholild he not
be able to stay."—(Laughter.). • . • • -
• Mr. HUNT.--A 'fellow has just handed me up an
empty bottle (an einptyl blacking bottle). Now'this
• is exactly a type of the Brunswiekers ; it has a for-
gery on the outside, and filth within.—(Great roars
of laughter.)

TNVENTY-SIX MINUTES PAST ELEVEN.
Sir E. Knatebhu M.P. for the County, -made
his appearance on the waggon where the Sheriff was
to take his stand, amidst the loudest cheers from the
greatest part of the multitude.
ARRIVAL OF LORD WINCHELSEA.

1,00 WINCHELSEA came at half-past eleven, and
was received with three cheers. The populace pulled
off their hats, and greeted him with loud acclama-
tions. .His Lordship was accompanied by Mr. Ellis,
Mr. Gipps, &c.
On the Civil and Religious side appeared Lord
Jersey; Sir J. Brydges, Capt. D'Aeth, Lord Win-
chekea's party. Mr. Dallison, one Of the county
Magistrates, was also of the same party ; also Lord '
Romney. Mr. Calcraft was among the liberal party ;
he was loudly cheered. Earl Darnley and Lord
Clifton were also cheered by the 'liberals. The
Marquis Camden, Lord Lieutenant of the County,
soon after appeared upon the Sheriff's hustings, with
the Earls of Brecknock and Lord Amherst.
Here one of the Meeting occasion; some mirth,
by exclaiming, " How is I)an ?"
The fir trees behind the Court-house were ni this
time occupied by the populace, and the effect was
highly picturesque. .
The remains of the ancient Court-house, irifrorrt.
of which the Sheriff took his station, is an object
of "curiosity ; it is of small dimensions, and when
the business of the enmity was transacted in it, that
business could not have been very extensive.
Sir .E.-li,iuttehball the M.P. for the County,

PRICE ID.

made his appearance in the Court-house soon after•
eleven o'clock.
-

• A procession came up with a green,flag,inscribed
" Catholic Emancipation." This was hoisted over
Sheil, and, after loud hisses, pilled down.. A light
blue iilk flag, inscribed " Civil and Religious Li-
berty," was then hoisted and allowed to stand.
Sit. E. Knatchbull. came on the. Sheriff's waltron
at • a -quarter. -past eleven. He was received with
loud shouts.of applause.. Mr. Scudamore and Mr.
Palmer,alfocame folward. • . .

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The
;learn at this moment presented a most am-
mating spectacle, the No-Popery party being arrang-
ed upon one side .of the area marked out for the
meeting, and the Liberals on the other; and it must
be confessed, that if externAl appearances are to be
judged by, the Liberals were certainly far the more
respectable of the two parties.
Lord Jersey, Mr. Ward, 'M.P. and Colonel Mild-
may, took their places in a vvngon. 1:1109. Ryder,
F,sq. and Thomas L. Rogers, Esq. were piesent ;
also Mr. Dawson, Lord Teynham, Lord Radnor,
Sir John Egerton, Sir Henry Blackwood. Chot-
mondeley De.ing, Esq., and Sir Edward. Dering.

The High Sheritf (Wilton) ban to commence
.he busimms by addresiiug the people in the follow-

iug terms :
Freeholders of kent :—The object of this meet-
ing is to petition rarliameut for the pnrpose of adopt-
ing such measures as are best calculated to suppoit
the Protestant Establishment in Church and State.
I trust the business of the meeting will be conduct-
ed in a manner consistent with the peace and dig-
nity of the county. 1 request no one will intro-
duce any topic foreign.to the object of the meet-
ing. I this morning received a letter from Mr.
Honey wood, one of the Members of this eounty,
regretting his inability from illness to attend this
day. Gentlemen, the requisition will be read to
yon.

Mr. GIPPS then addressed the Meeting as follows
—Brother Freeholders, it is to rne a most gratifying
spectacle to see so many portions here assembled to
discuss this great question, which so deeply affects
the welfare of the whole conutu, and to send a pe-
tition to Parliament expressive of our sentiments. I
entreat, therefore, a patient hearing for every person
who may. wish to express his sentiments upon the
subject. I would not have signed the requisition
which has been just read, but for the conviction
which .I feel, that this great question has been long
enough tossed about without pilot and without- rud-
der, and it is now absolutely necessary for the coun-
try to express some opinion on it. Cientlemen,
claim your indulgence, while I express to you my
conviction that this meeting has not been summoned
with that spirit of cruelty and intolerance with'
which we have been charged. (Cheers and laugh-
_ arge_

ter from the liberal side.) It has not been atim-
moned for the purpose of dictating to government an
alteration or renovation of our venerable and admi-
rable Constitution. All that we ask iA, that they

should preserve us as we me, that they should .pm-
serve us as we have been for a century and a half,
and. as I hope we will continue to be (Great cheers).
Freeholders of Kent I see. opposite to me, en-
graved upon a flag, the words " Civil and Religious
Liberty." (Great cheers from the Liberals.)—
Gentlemen, it is for that we contend. (Im-
mense and Continued cheering, in which Lord
Winchelsea joined.) It was for that, Gentlemen,
that we contended a year and a half ago ; and it is
upon the same principles we now stand before you.
Gentlemen, the question for our consideration to-day
is, whether we shall peseta to the Legislature an
address expressive of our wishes.—(Cries of yes
and no.) Gentlemen, lam unused to public speak-
ing, and may commit many faults, but I know there
are many persons here to-day who are more used to
speaking, and who, I have no doubt, will treat you
with some most extraordinary propositions.—(Cheers
and laughter.) Gentlemen, we meet this day to
entreat the Legislature to allow us to remain upon
the same ground-on which we have remained, so long.
I do not mean to say, gentlemen, that if the Catho-
lics were admitted to power to-morrow we should
have the bloody slays of Queen Mary over again.
(Great cheers from the Liberals.) No, gentlemen,
my object is. not to inflame the passions of the
people, but I do say, that if the Catholics are
admitted to Parliament, the threshold of the Con-
stitution will be passed, and the door-way to struggle
will immediately be laid open. ' (Cheers - from the
Brunswickers.) Gentlemen, I doubt not, but the
enlightened sentiments of the Catholics of the pre-
sent .day, would abhor such scenes of blood and
cruelty, but, nevertheless, we must look to prin-
ciples and not to men. We must look, Gentlemen,
to the state of Ireland, which is redUced to the
most abject state of wretchedness and misery, aiu
which the spiritual dominion of that religion has
held them. (Cheers.) When I look to au illegal
AsSociation, assuming the functions of Parliament,
and against which no Catholic Bishop lifted his •
voice.—( Cries of "No, not one.")—When I see a
man standing as the candidate of a great county
in Parliament, although knowing that certainly
he could not take .his seat, and when I see him
bending on Vs knee upon the way to the hustings
to a • felloW-man, like himself-,-when I also see men
driven to the poth, not 'like independent .freeholdera,
but in flecks—when. I see also the beat interests
of society subverted, and the tenant in a
great degree separated from his landlord—when
I see all this, to what can. I attribute it but to
that.state of spiritual dominion which is calcUlated
to lead then ,into acts .of temporal 'violence. Their
religion, temporal as well as spiritual, and their prin-
ciples, as fares ail history chews despotic and hostile
to liberty. Our Constitution was settled in It3BB,
after King James,'within a year after he had sworn
to preserve 1112 Protestant laws and-Protestant church
'found the influence of Priests would not allow him;
and his country, with the Whigs at the head of it,
were obliged to call in another Monarch to support
the Protestant establishment and Protestant liberty.
Our Cottetittition was then settled and established,
and we had, since ei,joyed such blessings; under it
as no nation in the 'world had ever before know'
--(Hear, hear, hear.)-4fr Gipps then proposed
the following petition t--

of Great Britain and Irelawl, in Parliament assembleil.,
