ADJOURNED PUBLIC MEETING OF THE
WORKING CLASSES AT MANCHESTER.

(From the Trades Free Press.)
An adjourned Meeting of the working classes and others,
of Manchester,' was held in the Manor Court Room, on
Wednesday evening last, for the purpose of taking into con-
sideration the propriety of addressing his M tjesty, relative to
the recent proceedings in the House of Lords on the Corn
Question, and the distresses of the labouring classes gene-
rally. About seven o'clock, the crowd began to collect
about the entrance to the Manor Court House, and at half-
Past seven the doors were opened, when the large room
began to till in every part. About ten minutes before eight 111
the chairman, Mr. E. DIXON, took the chair.
Mr. R. DETROSIER then ascended the platform, and
was received with loud and repeated cheers. He com-
menced by lashing the Ministers in a very keen and
sarcastic manner, for their conduct generally, and in parti-
cular as it related to the extravagant expenditure of the
Public money. It was a fact, be said, that in 1796 the
fustian weaver had three shillings per yard for weaving,
and in 1823 for cotton, carding, weaving, 84c. &c. only
2s. id. per yard could be obtained. And how little of
this small sum did the poor weaver receive for his share ?
In 1'796, a weaver and his family were comfortably fed and
clothed out of his earnings ; in 1827 his family were pau-
pers, naked, destitute, and his cot almost empty and cheerless.
The poor, he observed, might labour, but till the rulers of
this country saw the absolute necessity of using the strictest
economy ii: .the management of the public money, they had
no chance, but that of sinking by degrees into the silent
grave, the solitary, but secure retreat from tyranny and ep-
pression.—(Applause.)—The corrupt state of the repre-
sentation, lie proceeded, was one principal cause of the
decay which had taken place in our manufactures.—(Ap-
plause.)—Much has been said by certain persons, in a cer-
tain quarter, about living and dying, or standing and fall;
mg with the order to which they belong ; but I would ask
those proud and over-bearing Aristocrats where they and
their order would be, if the poor of the country were swept
off the face of the earth ? The answer was at hand. Down
would come the temple of Dagon, and bury in its ruins the
le doubted Earl and his boasted order.—(Applause.)—The
industry of the poor may be scorned by this " order," hut
it is beyond all praise. Mr. D. then reverted to the
tithing system, and depicted in glowing language, the ori-
ginal purposes of tithes, and reprobated the manner in
Which they were now appropriated. The church patro-
nage and emolument, said he, are enormous, and ought to
be reduced. He concluded by moving the following Re-
solution, which was seconded, and passed unanimously,
amidst repeated rounds of applause:—
That it is the opinion of this meeting, that suffering, as
this nation is, from poverty and distress, it is a shameful
mockery of humanity and religion to continue to the over-
paid dignitaries of the Church, their enormous incomes.—
That equity demands the abolition of the unjust and oppres-
sive burthen of tithes ;—and, as a considerable portion of
Church property is transferable, and belongs to the nation,
the unprecedented state of the country demands an enquiry
into the same, and an appropriation thereof to public and
national purposes.
Mr. J. HOOCH; next presented himself the Meeting.
Ile was desirous, he said, to cut down the immense in-
comes of the Aristocrats, which he believed were at this
,time greater than at any former period. He attributed the
°ad effects which hare been felt by the middle and working
classes to the dabbling with the currency, and in conic-
'Pence of the great issues of paper.—(Applause.)—He
concluded a long and humorous speech, by moving the fol-
-I°Wing resolution, which was seconded by Mr. WYENE,
and passed unanimously:—
That this Meeting is of opinion, that the present money
of this country has been so far debased by the great issues
of paper money, as to produce evils of greater magnitude,
and effects more disastrous in their consequences, than
those produced by any metallic debasement of the coin that
has existed in this or any other country, bringing prices
for food utterly at variance with the wages of the labourer,
send rendering insecure to the possessor almost all the ho-
neatly acquired property in the country.
M.r. JOHN DOHERTY next addressed the Meeting, and
included by moving the following resolution, amidst
deafening shouts from the assembled Meeting :
That this Meeting is of opinion, that the only effectual re-
riledy for all our political evils is a thorough, complete, and
radical reform in the Commons House of Parliament, esta-
blished upon a basis that wilt secure, to every one who has
to contribute towards the national expenses, a voice in the
fleeting of those who are to have the power of making laws
Which affect his life, liberty, and property; and such a
reform, this Meeting conceives, cannot be effected but
4y Annual Parliaments, Universal Suffrage, and Election
,

Mr. Tnoxas FOSTER, after a few observations, in
Which he paid a very high compliment to Mr. W. Cob-
bett for haying, by the means of his powerful pen, opened
the eyes, and informed the understandings, of many who
Otherwise would have been in complete ignorance respect-
ing the state of the country ; concluded by moving an Ad-
dress to the King, founded on the foregoing Resolution,
Which was seconded by Mr. DETROSIZR. The Address
having been read and passed unanimously, it was moved
by Mr. WHEELER that the Chairman sign it on behalf of
the Meeting, and forward it without delay.

WlN.Dsort, AUG. 30.—Yesterday the LORD
CHANCELLOR and Mr. Host:mos arrived at the Royal
Lodge, and had each a long audience of his MAJESTY, and after
Partaking of some refreshment, they left for town. Since

SLADE THE MURDERER.—Many persons
are of opinion that this wretched young man will not be
executed, and even bets have been laid on the event. After
the verdict of a Jury, condemnation by the Judge, and an
ample confession, it is difficult to find ground for such an
opinion. There is, we believe, no doubt that he will un-
dergo his sentence to-morrow (Saturday). He is penitent,
and quite resigned to his fate.—Lincoln Mercury.

TO MAKE APPLE WINE.—The following
is a good receipt :—Take equal quantities of
orange and nutmeg pippins, grind them in an
apple mill, and press out the juice through an
air cloth, adding to each gallon of juice two and
a half pounds of lump sugar ; put it into a cask,
ferment it in the usual way ; when it has worked
a short time, bung it down, and should the fer-
mentation continue, lift the bung, and put in a
piece of isinglass. One bushel of apples will
produce five gallons of juice, better than much
of what is called and sold as champaigne.
When an Englishman is invited to dine with
any of the inhabitants of Stockholm, it is the
practice to treat him with a quantity of what is
called roast beef, aa general opinion prevailing
that no native of Great Britain can dine without
it. The host takes+ merit to himself in having
provided this kind of diet, and smiling at his
guests, calls out, in an emphatical tone, " Rosbif"
(for so it is generally written and pronounced), as
the mangled heap of flesh which bears this name
is handed round ; not having the smallest re-
semblance to any thing so called in England, but
consisting of lumps of meat piled upon a dish,
tough, stringy, and covered with grease.
An affray broke out at Dover, on Tuesday,
after the conclusion of the boat races, between
some of the boatmen and a party of the 85th
Regiment. Bayonets were drawn on one side,
while the overwhelming weight of numbers was
on the other, which was armed with bludgeons,
broken oars, &c. A small patrol party, sent to
bring the soldiers to their quarters, was at once
broken, and one of the men seriously hurt ; he
has since been sent to the hospital; one of the
boatmen is said to be seriously, if not danger-
ously, wounded. The firmness, judgment, and
forbearance of Colonel Monro, the commanding
officer, has restored tranquillity.

MASTER NOAKES, THE CALCULATING
80-Y.—One of those natural prodigies, a child
possessing astonishing powers of calculation, is
at present on a visit to this town ; and we have
had the pleasure to witness some of his extraor-
dinary performances. He is only seven years of
age, and can neither read nor write ; he is the
son of poor parents, and his calculating powers
having been discovered, he has been for several
months before the public, but no education is
given to him, as it was found, in the case of
young Bidder, that his peculiar faculty was de-
stroyed by the general cultivation of his mind.
Master Noakes is a sprightly, intelligent boy, and
seems to perform all his calculations with such
careless ease and instinctive certainty, as to amuse
at the same time that he astonishes. Whilst
ordinary persons can recollect but a few figures
at once, and can perform only very simple arith-
metical operations without the use of visible signs
the mind of this child grasps the largest numbers,
hundreds of thousands and millions, multiplies,
adds, divides, and subtracts them, with the ra-
pidity of intuition, and without ever losing sight
of the sums even in long and complicated opera-
tions. He performs all his calculations by a method
of his own, perceiving in an instant the relation
which different sumsbear to each other, so as greatly
to simplify and shorten the operations. A gen-
tleman in our presence set him a rule-of-three
sum, offering at the same time to work it him-
self on paper, that he might try which performed
it most quickly : the lad cheerfully accepted the
challenge, and in a few seconds exclaimed—" I
shall beat you--I shall beat you--I've half done
he accordingly finished it in a quarter
already :"
of the time that was taken by his challenger. We
saw several surprising specimens of his powers;
and in other places, as at the Universities of Ox-
ford and Cambridge, lie has answered questions
like the following :_What is the value of 19,172

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LANCASTER, Auo. 29.

About half-past four o'clock this afternoon, Sir Jos
BArr.Er, Knight, arrived here from Appleby. His Lord-
ship was met a few miles out of town by the High Sheriff,
Charles Gibson, Esq., and a numerous retinue, and escort-
ed into the town, preceded by a party of javelin-men
mounted, and followed by a number of carriages and horse-
men. Upon his Lordship entering the town lie proceeded
to the Court, where his Majesty's Commission was opened
in the usual manner, after which lie proceeded-to his lodg-
ings on the Castle-hill. Mr. Baron HULLOCK is expected
this evening.
The Calendar is extremely heavy, there being no less than
eighty-five prisoners for trial, and most of them for crimes
of a very heinous description. The following is a sum-
mary :
Jane Scott, aged 21, for the wilful murder of her father
and mother, by poisoning them, at Preston; Henry
Howarth, for the wilful murder of James Worsall, by
nearly severing his head from his body, at Rochdale ;
Harrison, for the murder of John Mills, at Manchester;
and William Robinson, for the murder of his wife, at
Garstang. Besides these, there are no less than nineteen
charged with manslaughter, and one for wilfully stabbing
with an intent to kill ; 29 for burglaries, three for uttering
forged Bank of England notes, one for uttering forged
bankers' cheques, and one for forging a seaman's certificate,
to obtain a pension at Greenwich Hospital ; 14 for high-.
way robbery, four for stealing in a dwelling-house, and se-
veral others for various offences.—The cause-list is ex-
pected to be very heavy.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY will sit on the Crown side, and
Mr. Baron Hur.r.ocic at Nisi Prins.

Their Lordships will attend Divine service at St. Mary's
church to-morrow.

ENIGMA.

BY RILE RIGHT HON. CRORGE CANNING.

There is a word of plural number
Foe to peace and tranquil slumber.
Nov, any word you choose to take,
By adding s, you plural make;
But if you add an s to this,
Strange is the metamorphosis—
Plural is plural then no more,
And sweet what bitter was before !
SOLUTION.
Though bitter cares soft slumbers seldom meet,
Still, by some lured caress, they're rendered sweet.

DISAPPOINTED AFFECTION.—Last night
an Inquest was held before Thomas Stirling, Esq. at the
Union, Battlebridge, on view of the body of Ann Marsh,
a fine young woman, about 23 years of age, who was found
drowned on Wednesday morning. In the course of exami-
nation the following particulars were elicited :—That the
deceased was found in a ditch, close to the turnpike, Pan-
crass Old Church ; when taken out, she exclaimed, " Oh,
my Gad, I had rather have been drowned." She was,
however, permitted to depart, and so determined was she
on self-destruction that she went thence to the bason, at
Battlebridge, where she threw herself in, leaving her bon-
net and shawl on the side. Persons passing heard the
plunge, and drags were immediately used, but without
effect. She was not discovered until the next morning,
when she was removed to the Union. Verdict—" Drowned
herself whilst in a state of temporary derangement."

About one o'clock on Monday afternoon a
terrible accident occurred to Miss Elizabeth Standwell, a
young woman about 20 years of age, sister to the landlord
of the Hotel in Stamford. She had been for some time
afflicted with epilepsy, and a weakened state of the nervous
system ; and for several nights lately she had been troubled
with the repetition of a dream that she was falling from
the top of the house. The Hotel is a superb edifice, of
great height, built by Sir Gerard Noel, at an expence of
10,0001. On Monday Miss Standwell was confined to her
bed-room from an epileptic attack, when she suddenly
rushed from her apartment in her night• clothes, passed out
of a trap-door to the roof of the house, and was already on
the fearful parapet, a height of 45 feet from the ground,
when returning sensibility led her to a knowledge of her
situation, and her agonised cries alarmed some persons who
were in the yard of the Hotel. The utmost haste to rescue
her was used by a gentleman who happened to be in the
billiard-room, and saw the unfortunate young woman, and
by the servants of the family ; but before any of them could
reach the spot to give her assistance, the power of holding
on failed her, and she fell from the fearful height into the
inn-yard. Ey the concussion she fractured the bone of her
right leg, as well as that of her left arm ; she also dread-
fully injured the spinal vertebrze, and lies in a situation
which, we lament to say, affords little hope of her ultimate
recovery.—Lincoln Mercury.
TRADE.—There is much business doing at
present in Leith. On Saturday last no less than 11,0001.
was received at the Custom-house, chiefly as duty on foreign
wheat.--Scotsman.

WORCESTER, AUG. 29.—Though the cold
nights have checked some grounds, our Plantation generally
is coming on fast, and the picking will commence in a week
or ten days. The duty has advanced to 10 or 12,0001.
and the opinion still continues that we shall have at least
a third of last year's produce. The duty of the Kingdom
does not advance; there was a pocket or two of New Hops
in the Borough yesterday, for which Si. was asked; 61.
was offered and refused.— Worcester Journal.

LINCOLNSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SHOW.—
The public were admitted to the show-ground at a few
Minutes before one on Wednesday. A large concourse of
graziers and others had been waiting for nearly two hours.
Not many articles were exhibited. The best bull shown
belonged to Mr. Slater, of Carlton, who has usually the
best stock; it was a handsome animal of small frame, hut
with proportions that seemed to enamour the eye of every
critic. There were no specimens of inordinate size, as if a
blubber-merchant had had the breeding of stock for the
take of the oil ; and utility appears to be the object
in view. The cattle looked wistfully as the fingers and
knuckles of the crowd kneaded their ample sides, and
seemed to be suspicious of the end of all this' dis-
play. Much interest appeared to be drawn to the fat
rams of Mr. Dawson, of Birthorpe; and of Messrs.
Everitt, of Boothby, Dawson, jun., of Withcall, &e. ;
and shrewd calculations were bandied about as to wool,
carcase, shape, make, &c. The herses next were viewed,
and caused a crowd to assemble whilst the ambitious
grooms put them on their mettle. A brown six-year-old
cart horse exhibited a fine specimen of the improved Lin-
colnshire breed. Two blood horses were much commended,
and looked and pranced about as if they not only heard but
understood every word of praise bestowed upon them.._..
The implements were of great mechanical ingenuity, parti-
cularly some new machines for weighing live animals, also
a drill of Mr. Chambers of Limber, and cutting-machines
by Mrs. Barret and Son, so perfect in their operation that
nobody need despair of being shaved by machinery. There
were specimens of trays which are contrived to stand inde-
pendent of being driven into the soil. Segments of cart
and coach wheels formed of planks curved by some cunning
art so as to form semi-circulars without any piecing. The
company at the show dined at the Rein Deer Inn, C.
Chaplin, Esq., M.P. for the county, in the chair.—Lin-
coin Mercury.
IRELAND.--CROPS...—AGRICULTURE.--
About a fortnight since, an intelligent agriculturist who,
resides in this vicinity, returned from a tour through a
considerable part of Ireland. His chief, or indeed, his sole
business in the 'sister kingdom, was to see the country,
examine the crops, and ascertain from actual observation
the principles and practice of Irish agriculture. He landed
at Belfast, proceeded to Dublin, Monaghan, Omah, Lon-
donderry, Coleraine, Belfast, and thence to Donagliadee,
where he embarked for Scotland. In this tour, including
cross trips to visit particular farms and villages, he passed
over about 400 Irish miles. In this whop extent of
country, the crops of oats, barley, and potatoes, are remark-
ably luxuriant. The wheat is not quite so bulky as the
other crops, and in several places in the Northern districts
it was rather in an unhealthy state, having suffered slightly
from tke wetness of the weather. Only two fields of
turnips were seen during the whole tour. Our agri-
cultural friend entertains but a sorry opinion of the
Irish plan of cultivation, and describes it as equally
wretched in principle and practice. Except on a
few spots on the coast, the potatoes were all
planted in " lazy beds ;" and with the exception of some
solitary spots of a few roods, he generally passed fifty miles
without seeing a decent patch of red clover. There is
certainly no lack of laborxers in Ireland, but the low state
of agriculture is chiefly to be attributed to the want of
capital among the farmers. The farms are in general too
small to keep horses—their whole process of agriculture is
performed by manual laboui--and hence, generation after
generation passes away, leaving their successors their poverty
and their plans of operation. The extraordinary abundance
of the crops, even with the deplorable system of agriculture,
shows the natural fertility of the soil, and leaves room for
conjecture on how much might be achieved by the general
introduction of an improved system of agriculture. Our
correspondent has a high opinion of the frank and hospitable
nature of the Irish, and stat(s, that during the whole tour
he saw only two individual: in a state of intnication,
Scotsman,
