yond description.) The Honourable Baronet bowed
and retired.—Mr. EDMONDS then put the following
Resolutions separately : •
1. That the right of meeting for public. discussion belongs to
all men by the law of nature.
2. Tim this right is guaranteed to Englishmen by the laws.
3. That as to the Meeting held at Manchester on the 16th of
August, last, the most minute and impartial investigation has
failed to shew that it was illegal, or that the Magistrates were
furnished with any pretence to interrupt its'proceedings.
4. That, admitting, however, the illegality of such assembly,
no palliation can be conceived for the attack made by the Man-
chester Yeomanry, by order of the Magistrates—a brutal attack,
made sword in hand,on men women, and children.
5. That while we remember that we share in the fame of our
fellow-countrymen, we cannot forget that we also share in the
disgrace inflicted on the English nation by this dastardly and fe-
rocious outrage.
6. That by way of clearing ourselves as mach as possible from
such disgrace, we are.bound to bring the Manchester murderers
and their instigators to condign punishment.
7. That we solemnly pledge ourselves never to shrink from
any privation or exertion consequent thereon.
B. That a Subscription be immediately entered into to defray
the expenses of legal investigation, and for the relief of the
sufferers.

9. That our feelings towards the Ministers who have advised
the Prince Regent to honour With his thanks the assassins of his
people, are those of utter abhorrence.
10. That the conduct of Henry Hunt, Esq. as connected with
the events of the 16th of August, is entitled to the admiration of
' our fellow-countrymen.
11. That one melancholy result of these fatal proceedings has
been the loss (on the part of the subjects) of all confidence in the
laws of the realm, and the shaking of their allegiance.
12. That all these circumstances prove the necessity of a
Borough Reform in the Representation of the People, as the
only security against military despotism.
13. That a Committee be appointed, with power to add to
their numbers, for the purpose of carrying the foregoing Reso-
lutions into effect.
14. That the Thanks of this Meeting are eminently due to the
public spirited and disinterested conduct of Sir Charles Wolseley,
Bart. and for his important services in the cause of Parliamen-
tary Reform.
15. Th.t the Thanks of this Meeting are also due and be given
to Major Cartwright. -1
16. That they be also &eh to Mr. Edmonds, for his able and
impartial conduct in the Chair this day.
Each of these was carried unanimously : perhaps,

Mr. Enstowns having quitted the Chair, and the
Vote of Thanks to him having been most cordially
passed, he stepped forward and returned thanks. At
retiring he again recommended the strictest order,
entreating the Assembly to remember, that every
symptom of an opposite nature was giving an ad-
vantage to their enemies.
Mr. RUSSELL, Mr. LEWIS, and Mr. MIMS, suc-
cessively addressed the People.
Mr. LEWIS having moved it, a Vote of Thanks'was
carried to Mr. Woolen. The Meeting then diSpersed ;
and the whole of this great multitude were, in one
moment, seen retrograding homeward, by a simulta-
neous movement, which appeared to be the effect
almost of magic, and which was conducted with the
order and regularity almost of a parade. The Gen- I
tleinen who had been lookers-on, in their tilburies,
drove off ; the numerous parties on the hill retired ;
and in ten minutes from the signal of dispersion, of
the many thousands who had been present at the
Meeting, not a dozen persons remained on the Hill.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
BIRMINGHAM, SF.PTEMBER 24:
The Meeting was held yesterday (Thursday,) tha
23d, at three o clock, on New Hall 11111. Mr. ED-
MONDS, the principal manager, had acceded to a re-
quest of the Magistrates, in dispensing with the use,
of any flags. A hustings had been erected, the front
of which was hung in black cloth. A few minutes
before three, a mourning coach, containing Sir CHAS.
IrVOLSELEY, Mr. EDMONDS, Mr. LEWIS, Mr. RUSSELL,
Mr. E. HILL, and some others, drove up to the hust-
ing, and were received with the shouts of the people
—but not more than 5,000 or 6,090 had assembled.
By the time the proceedings of the day began, the
area, at the former Meeting entirely occupied by a
dense mass of population, was not more than half
filled ; but every exertion of controul and induce-
ment, had been made use of by the Magistrates fol
keep the people away—but the far greater numb&
absent were deterred from apprehensions of the sol-
diery. The Regiment of Horse at the barracks were
under arms ; and the Warwickshire Yeomanry Ca-
valry were mustered in the vicinity of the town, ready
for a burst, on a shew of disorder. Hand bills had
been circulated by order of the Magistrates, warning
all good and loyal people to absent themselves.
Mr. EDMONDS was called to the Chair, when a
smart round of applause greeted his acceptance of the
same. A black flag was here waved in front of the
hustings, having a red border. Mr. EDMONDS began
by requesting all such symbols to be withheld; and the
flag was lowered. He then paid a compliment to the
discretion of the Magistrates of the town, who were,
he said, incapable of the conduct adopted by the
Magistrates at Manchester; and then introduced Sir
CHARLES WOLSELEY, and stated, that he should have
ben happy to have seen Sir CHARLES in the Chair;
but the repugnance of that Gentleman to the office,
who declined from feelings of delicacy, had caused
the honour to devolve on him ; and he knew his duty
too well to decline any post assigned to him, and in
which he could be, of service to the Public. Mr..
EDuoNos then went at length into a view of the
recent proceedings at Manchester, to which he very
properly confined himself.
Sir C.0.1.2.1.LS WOLSEIIY afterwards addressed the
