BARNSLEY REFORM MEETING JULY 12.

Accorsling.to_preNions notice, a Public Reform.'
Meeting was held here this evening, on May-day-
Green. The number, of persons assembled was
variously estimated at from six to eight thousand,
number by no means so-great as. might have
been expected, when it is khown that Barnsley,
the Adjacent places, are thickly inhabited,
chieflyby linen weavers, vast num►>ers of who►sa
are, at the present tune, Elesii►ute of empioy-
went. . • • •

sentatives ;. lastly, in order to guard, against the
abuse of Power, it is necessary that the people

WEAVERS OF NIONTGOMERYSHIRE.

• We are sorry to state that there has _ been a.
little dlstUrbance among the Weavers at .Newton,
Montgomeryithire. It appears that the'manufac-
curers had, it in contemplation, on account of thet
indifferent state of trade, to lower the wages of
thi:ir Work-people, but' had conic to ne'deterinina-
tion thereon. The latter, however, immediately
rook the alarm, and began to assemble at different
.times in the Park; and on Saturday last marched
'into the town in a very dishrderly manner, and.
;broke the windows of Mr. Williams and Mrs. Da-
vies.—Symptoms of inclination to do farther in-
)(try appearing on Monday, the Manufacturers
very properly applied to the Nfagistrates, who im-
mediately swore in a considerable number of Spe-.
vial Constablei, and directed them to secure the;
ringleaders. anct also ordered a troop of the Mont-
gomeryshire-,Cavalry to assemble atAbermule,
anal hold themselves in readiness at a tnoment's
notice. By the activity of the Constables, seve-
ral of the ringleaders were apprehended, two of
whom were sent off :to 111;mtgomery Gaol, and.
several others concerned have, we are informed,.
decautpetd, for fear of being taken.
A Letter from Leeds says, " There is every
"reason to believe that a system of concert and co-
operation has already beeo:organized throughout
a great part of the Kingdom ; for we have karnr,
that as soon as the Elunslet Moor peering shall
have finished its business on Monday, tie Dele-
gates, and principal LeadSelB amongst the Reform,
ers here, will set off' by the Mail and other eon-.
veya'nuei for London, to attend the N!e. tug in.
Smithfield on Wednesday, the Jl,st inst."
