HUDDERSFIELD RLFORM MEETING.

.

HUDDERSFIELD, NOVEMBER 8.
The Reform Meeting which was held this day on
Almondbury Bank, about a mile from the town, was,
called by public advertisement, signed by nearly
one hundred householders. At twelve o'clock the
procession, consisting of several thousand persons,
formed in the streets of the town, and after being
joined by a large company of their friends horn the
neighbourhood of Halif.ur, marched towaiJs the
place of meeting. The Reformers in this neighbour
hood, by their zeal and taste, have accumulated a
vast number of flags, and, by the kindness of their
female friends, have procured a quantity of Caps of
Liberty, which are now so numerous and shewy,
chat at a distance the procession resembles an army
with banners. At this Meeting, ornament was by
no means wanting ; for not less than forty-four flags
and seven Caps of Liberty, with unnumbered bunches
of crape, laurel, cypress, Ste. graced the procession,
which also boasted three very respectable and nu-
merous bands of music. It would be quite useless to
occupy your columns with the inscriptions on the
fanners, which, if given at length, would swell this
account to a most unwieldy bulk, as they very much
resemble those which you have already given in
your report of the Halifax Meeting, and Many cf
them were identically the same. It is quite suffi
cient to say, that there was nothing seditious or in-.
flammatory in them. Tire number of persons assem-
bled was from eight to ten thousand.
About one o'clock, Mr. DICKENSON, of Dewsbury,
was relied to the Chair, and made a short address to
the Meeting, in which he stated that no honour could
have been conferred upon him, which he should
so highly value, as that of presiding over an assem-
bly so numerous and so highly respectable.
A Mr. MICAH WRIGHT appeared after him, and
was followed by Mr. CHRIS. WOOD, Mr. Joux
SPIVEY, and Mr. RICHARD LEE, none of whom were
ever heard of before, and none, save the last, are worth
hearing again. This Gentleman rose out of the pure
overflowings of his zeal, and without premeditation,
to say a few words in condemnation of the " Borough-
mongeringfraction, which, when they met, he was
sartain would subspend tliberties o' t'Pcople." Find-
ing, however, that all his ideas had oozed out, and
that he was left quite barren of matter, he honestly
confessed that he " was fairly puzzled, and he !bout
he'd more to say than he had ;" so he at once de-
scended amidst the laughter and plaudits of the
audience.

•
A series of Resolutions, of the usual description,
were proposed and carried, with several explanatory
speeches by the Chairman.
When all the male speakers had retired, afemale
Reformer advanced towards the Chairman, and,
with great apparent teal, presented him with a Cap
of Liberty, and an Address to the' " dear sisters,"
which she requested him to read.
The fair inference which I think may be drawn
from the character of this Meeting, is, that the cause
is drooping; and, without some fresh opposition from
Ministers, or aggression from the Magistracy, will
soon expire. When the Radical Reformers are slight-
ed, and allowed to meet unmolested, nothing can be
more harmless than their assemblies ; and their zeal,'
for want of opposition, dies away; but when Bills are
passed to prevent their meeting, no sooner has their
period expired, than they flock again to their stan-
dards with renewed and increased ardour; and when
an arbitrary Magistracy menaces them with the
sword, their whole souls rise in indignant defiance of
their opponents. The Manchester outrage supplied
food for the dying flame, strengthened the already
weak bands of the Radicals, and supplied fresh topics
for the exhausted ingenuity of their speakers.

One feature, of no small importance, marked this
Meeting, which was held in a place where the prin-
ciples and temper of the people are more ardent than
in any other part of Yorkshire. The Chairman ex-
pressed his attachment to the plan of Annual Parlia-
ments and Universal Suffrage ; but, " rather than li
create any disturbance in the country, he would be
content to accept Triennial Parliaments and House-
hold Suffrage." He advised the Reformers not to
differ about a trifle, if they obtained the grand point
of a substantial Reform ; and, above all things, to
"avoid any measure or proceeding which could create
the least confusion. He was heard by the whole
assembly with patience, and on concluding, no mark
of disapprobation ensued, except the exclamations of
a few voices from the crowd—" the thing, and no-
thing but the thing"—so temperate are many of the
Reformers in their wishes, and so little disposed to
support with violence, much less to demand with
arms, the plan of Annual Parliaments and Universal
Suffrage ! If Ministers and Magistrates will take the
hint, this Meeting furnishes a lesson to prevent them
from rousing, the slumbering fire of Radicalism to
fresh fury, by Gagging Bills, Suspension Acts, and
the Sword.

The Requisitionists for a Meeting of the County
cf Middlesex, being ur.able to prevail with either of
the Sheriffs to convene a Meeting, without a pro-
crastination, which they deem both inconvenient
and discreditable, have called a Meeting on their own
authority, to take place at Hackney, on Friday next,
to consider what steps ought to be taken respecting
the proceedings of those who caused, and of those
who actually made a militaty assault on a peaceable
Meeting of person: a•zemlAcci at Manchester on the
P3th of August." Major CAII7 WitICI4I

LORD MAYOR'S D. 41.

Pester lay, being Lord Mayor's Day, the usual civic
procession to Westminster Hall, to swear in the new
Lord Mayor, tot k place, with all its customary
" pomp and circumstance." The City Authorities
too.ttenbled, as usual, to breakfast at Guildhall. The
whole ceremonies of the day took place a little earlier
t'eu, has beet customary for some years past. At a
quitter b-..core twelve o'clock, the Lord Mayor set
wit from M tesion-Imuse, in his state coach,
which was preceded by a troop of the Horse Guards,
in full uniform, and by bearers carrying the richly-
ornamented flags of the barges of the several Civic
Companies. The trumpeters of the Life Guards, in
their state uniforms, and two bands of music, occa-
sionally played martial airs, as the procession ad-;
vaaced. Immediioely behind the first troop of
Guards. arid st, I-molded by another escort of the
same corps, were placed the men in armour, mount-
ed on chargers, led each by two Yeomen of the
Tower, bearing their halberds. In front of the men
in armour, mounted on a white horse, rode a very
tall mat bare-headed, in the dress of the time of
Charles I. he was followed by an athletic man, clad
in polished brass armour and helmet. The armour I
was complete, and its shining appearance produced
a splendid effect. There were two others corn•l
pletey clad in steel armours, and six men half clad
in steel breastplates and helmets; a few soldiers of'
the Guards also wore cuirasses. The first coach in
order, alter the new Lord Mayor's, was that of the
late Chi et Magistrate, Mr. Alderman Atkins, drawn
by six horses.* It is impossible adequately to describe,
or too severely to reprehend, the uncourteous, and
even outrageous reception, which the latter received
at the hands of the populace. Against him they
seemed to direct all their indignation and contempt.
The state coach and the new Lord Mayor passed in
silent and respectful attention, but the moment the
worthy Alderman (Atkins) was observed, the hisses
of the populace who crowded round his coach be-
came loud acid vehement, and lae was assailed with
the most ludicroes epithets. " Atkins, Atkins; Fire,
fire ; Murder, murder !' resounded on all sides.—
Other expressions of a more offensive nature were
also applied to the worthy Alderman, who received
them with his wonted composure, though they were
unsparingly and perseveringlydirected to him through.
out the whole line of the procession. When the pro-
cession reached Blackfriars-bridge, where the Corpo-
ation took water, to proceed in their state barges to
Westminster, the cries from the populace who throng-
ed the bridge, of " Jack, the Thames is on tire! the,
City is burnt I" were vociferously reiterated, and con-
tinued while the uo were svithin The Re-
corder, and the whole of the City Officers, were in
the pri cession; as were also observed, the coaches of
many of the Aldermen and members of the Com-
mon Count it ; Aldermen V. -tied and Thorpe were
loudly cheered. Mi. Sheriff Rothwell was in his new
state chariot ; but his cotieagtu, Mr. Sheriff Parkyns,
did not think proper to grace the procession with his
presence. The gay and glittering splendour of the
equipages and barges, the crowds of eager spectators
in the streets, a.nd along the bridges, and of elegantly
dressed females at the windows of the houses by
which the procession passed, composed a brilliant
and interesting spectacle, the effect of which was
much heightened by the uncommon fineness of the
weather. The number of state barges belonging to
the different Companies that accompanied the Lord
Mayor, amounted to six. They arrived at Westmin-
ster a little before two o'clock. After the accustomed
ceremonies had been gone through, the invitations to
the Judges for the dinner were given in the names of
the Lord Mayor and Mr. Sheriff Itothwell only. The
procession then returned by water to Blackfriars-
bridge, where it landed, and proceeded in the usual
order to Guildhall. The streets were crowded to ex-
cess, and the rage of the populace towards the late
Lord Mayor vented itself in a more violent manner
than before : some person even had the hardihood
to throw mud at his carriage; and in Bridge-
street a brick-bat was thrown, but, happily, without
injuring his Lordship.
When the procession arrived at Ludgate-street, an
undertaker's man, with a coffin on his back, had the
misfortune to find himself just at the head of the
cavalcade, and actually formed part of the slaw.
The poor mau was bumped about with little cere-
mony by the unthinking crowd, some of them affect-
ing great anxiety to learn whether it was for the late
Lord Mayor, and others, with great dexterity, making
the coffin answer the purpose of a drum.
Notwithstanding ti.is repreliensilsle conduct, on the
part of the populace, the procession reached Guild-
hall without any serious accident.
The carriage of Alderman Wood was drawn by
the populace from Blackfriars bridge to Guildhall.
All the other Aldermen passed without notice, except
Mr. Alderman Thorp, who was loudly cheered.
The procession arrived at Guildhall soon after four
o'clock. Before this period a number of Ladies had
arrived at the Hall; and within an hour most of the
seats not set aside for particular guests were occu-
pied. The interior was brilliantly illuminated with
gas, and decorated in the usual wanner. From four
until nearly six o'clock, the distinguished visitors who
had been invited continued to reach the Hall in suc-
cession, and were received with the utmost ceremony
and attention by the Stewards, &c. who presided
over the civic feast. As the names were aratounced,
the company frequently stood up, to testify their re-
spect ; and on the entrance of the Duke of Welling-
ton, the Baird stationed in the Gallery over the South
dour struck up—" See, As compering Hero comes,
and the Hall resounded with acclamations. The
number of persons who had received invitations was
so great, that nvt only the body of the Hall was
filled with tables, but the Court of King's Bench and
the Council-Chamber were set out in a similar man-
ner, and the whole were still insufficient to accom-
modate the guests. The process of covering the
tables commenced soon after five o'clock, but owing
to the magnitude and splendour of the entertainment,
was not completed till half-past six ; when, notice
being given to the Lord-Mayor that the whole was
ready, he entered the Hall by the steps that lead
from the Council-Chamber, "and turning to the left,
preceded by a band of music, passed in procession
with the distinguished persons who had been invited,
entirely round the Hall. Among them were the
Duke of York (the only member of the Royal family
present', leading the Lady Mayoxss, the Duke of
Wellington, the Spanish and, FnwhAmbaasadors

the Faris of Whitmoreland, Liverpool, Harfowby,
and Bathurst, Viscounts Sidmouth and Castlereagh,
Mr. Vansittart, Mr. Wellesley Pole, the Lords Chief-
Justices of the King's Bench and Common Pleas,
with Judges Park, Best, Holroyd, and several of the

The dinner consisted, as usual, of a proft.P.ion of
every delicacy, both in and out of season, accom-
panied with the choicest wines, &c. Alter the cloth
was removed, Non nGhis Domino was sung by the
professional Gentlemen present. A variety of toasts
were then given, attended by glees and instrumental
pieces from the different military bands that had been
provided. The following are the principal of them:
" The King,•' in solemn silence.
" The Prince Reg.mt," with three times three.
11,11! Star of Bruliswick."
The Loau M.svon rose, :n►d i►i a short but neat
speech, proposed the health of the Doke of York,
thanking hint for the honaur conferred oa the civic
festival by his presence.
Tie Duke y' York's March played by the Band. •
The Duke of YORK, in a few words, returned thanks.
The next toast was—
" The Duke of Clarence." Drank, as was the preceding toast,
with three times three. (Rule Britannia, played by the band.)
The next toast was, " The City of London," with
three times three; followed by the health of " The
Duke of Wellington," proposed as a toast by the LORD
MAYOR, and drank with three times three, and en-
thusiastic cheerings.—The LORD MAYOR then gave,
" The Earl of Liverpool."
Lord LIVERPOOL made a very neat speech, which
was confined solely to an acknowledgment of the
honour done him, and concluded by proposing the
health of " The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress."
The LORD MAYOR returned thanks, expressing his
sense of the arduous nature of the office which, in
times so perilous, he had undertaken, and his resolu-
tion to administer impartial justice to his Fellow Ci-
tizens.—The conclusion of his Lordship's speech was
attended with very general cheering throughout the
Hall.—His Lordship then proposed the health of
" Lord Sidmouth ;" who, in return, gave that of
'" The late Lord Mayor."
The late LORD MAYOR, in acknowledging the ho-
nour conferred on him, made a few observations re-
specting his own conduct during the Mayoralty
which had just terminated : he had entered into
office with a high sense of the beauty of our glorious
Constitution, arid a detern.ination, as far as h►s abili-
ties would perrniz, and as far as his functions were
connected with it, to preserve it unimpaired. He
felt that he was placed, and had been compelled to
act, in a season of great difficulty ; but he could ap-
peal to his osvn intentions, which at least were per-
fectly upright, and could assert, that he had followed,
and implicitly relied on, the honest suggestions of his
own mind, unbiassed by any external motive. The
health of

.....
Lord Castlereagh—The French Ambassador—The Spanish
Ambassador—Mr. Vansittart—The Earl cf Westmoreland—
Earl Bathurst, and the Earl of Harrowby next succeeded. The
Lord Mayor then rr-rposed the health of 31r. Sheriff Bothwell,
and of Sir William Curtis, as the senior Alderman present, who
returned thanks for himself and his colleagues.
Some other toasts were then given by the Lord
Mayor and others; and soon after ten o'clock, the
Ladies having previously retired to the Council-
chamber to take tea, his Lordship quitted the, chair,
and was followed by the whsle of the illustrious
guests who had graced the upper table. In about
half an hour after this, the Coors of the Council-
chamber were thrown open, for the general reception
of company. It was not intended that they should
have been admitted so early ; but, on way being
made for his Royal Highness the Duke of York, it
became impossible to restrain the crowd, and the
doors were literally kept open by force. The scene,
on entering, was extremely gay and striking. At
the upper end of the chamber appeared the Lady
May oress, under the state canopy, surrounded by
her own party ; and the sides, four or five deep, were
completely filled with Ladies, all elegantly and splen-
didly dressed. The press, after the entrance of the
Gentlemen, became so great, that it was with consi-
derable difficulty the centre could be cleared, for the
ceremony of opening the ball. This, huwever, was
at length affected, and a minuet was danced by the
Spanish Ambassador and Miss Atkins, the daughter
of the late Lord Mayor. By this time the hustings
had been cleared horn the dinner tables, and an ex-
cellent band being placed there, country dances then
commenced, and were continued with great spirit till
neatly day-light this meaning.
During the dinner, the men in armour were sta-
tioned at the upper end of the Hall, from the time
the Lord Mayor took his scat at table, till he quitted
the chair. They were stationed upon pedestals raised
above the door, one at each endnand one in the
centre. At the bottom of the hustings was placed a
tail figure, clad in a dress el the old costume, co-
vered with heraldic bearings, and intended to repre-
sent the City Herald. A noble baron of beef stood
at his right hand, to which he paid frequent atten-
tion. A pair of trumpeters were also stationed be-
hind the Chair, and another at the bottom of the
Hall; Utid previous to each toast being given, the
trumpets behind his Lordship sounded a charge, and
were replied to by those at the bottom of the Ball.
The mode of lighting with gas differed very little
from that of the preceding year. Three large lustres
were suspenden froth the ceiling ; some lesser ones at
the ends and sides of the Hall ; o wreath of small
lights running round the whole. The whole of this
great Civic Feast was conducted with perfect order ;
and every thing went off in the best manner. It is
calculated that more than 1,000 persons were present
at the dinner only.

The following is an extract from a letter, dated
Newcastle, Nov. G :—" I think it adviseable to in-
form you that our Keelmen have ligain struck work
on account of another disagreement with the Col-
liery Owners, arising out of the former ; and as the
Coal Owners think they erred in granting them too
liberal terms before, it is.very probable the matter
now in dispute may not be very readily adjusted."
