SHEFFIELD MSETLVG _ocroerl

A very numerous and highly re7ertableX
of the inhabitants of this town and tLe ne4,
hood, for the purpose of taking into consider";
late proceedings at Manchester, was held
on a vacant and very spacious plot of grout
the Brocco, having been previously d'
a
_ joirte,
Paradise-square, the place where the Torr
are usually convened. The situation of the g,
is admirably adapted for such a purpose; it,
the declivity of a hill, at the bottom of wht:
hustings were fixed, forming a natural
where every individual, by being elevated abol
before him, commanded a perfect view of the s;
as they successively presented them 'elves. 1
the morning, the greatest bustle %AS CA),(
every qua' ter of the town, and as the time ti,;
for bringing the scattered groupes into one
interest of the scene was gradually heigiltena
A very large body met in the Wicker, under
rection of the General Committee, which w
by companies from different parts of the •
hood ; and the whole paraded through the t.,
streets in procession, accompanied by bands of
playing The Dead March in Saul," «
ha'e wi' Wallace bled," and several other it
and solemn airs. Most of the individuals i:,
motley group displayed some emblem of n:(,,
the females being for the most part attired
and the men wearing white hats with craT
ribbons.

Upon arriving at the place of destination,
ple arranged themselves into a regular and
body, without the least uproar. The effect no%
the bottom of the hill, became truly imposir.•,
such as was never before witnessed in this tc cr.
merous banners were interspersed throu2,hou:
great assembly, bearing a variety of devices •
scriptions, some of which deserved all the ex'
which they universally received.
In front of the Hustings a large Green Bag,
ware, beware ! a plot, a plot !"
" Civil and Religious Liberty is our Birth-right."
" Britons ! unite and be free.-3lay our S'Aclierr
and our Magistrates merciful!"
A Black Flag, with red letters—" Innocent lde,r,d
aloud for Vengeance !"
" The Rights of Man—Liberty, Truth, and Justice'
" Thou shalt do no murder."
Black Flag, white letters—" To the immortal
Reformers massacred at Manchester."
" England, Scotland, and Ireland, hold to the blot!"
One of the devices was a Cavalry man
down a woman.

The llustings, at the appointei hour, were c
pletely occupied by the Committee of Manr
and many highly respectable Gentlemen of
and neighbourhood. On the motion of lb
RAwsoN, Esq. seconded by Mr. JOHN BAILEL
MULL SHORE. Esq. of Meersbrook, was called,

The Requisition being read,
Mr. RAwsos rose, and addressed the Mc
follows :—" Gentlemen—l have always been

people without being heard in their defence;

At the termination of Mr. ItAwsuss speech, t-e

greeted with universal acclamation. When "leel

After which, Mr. J BAILEY stood forward. azl

appeased oppressive and tyrannical, and he was or:

THE FUNDS.

The late panic in the Stock Market has alarmed the country
fund-holders. Yesterday a considerable amount of Stock, both
for Money and Account, was thrown upon the Market by Bro-
kers selling for Country Banks. Sales have also been made by
the Jew Jobbers, supposed to be for the &teat Orr BULL, who,
it is said, is now taning,.—Some private bargains have been
done fur time. Consols opened at 661. The Jews sold at that
price, and offered more at 66i, and Omnium at 5/1 dis. Should
these sales continue, a second panic may be expected.

A Supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday
was published this morning, containing orders for all
the Out-Pensioners of Chelsea-Hospital, Kilmain-
harm Hospital, &c. to appear at different places men-
tioned; in their respective counties in England, on the
4th, 11th, and 18th of November; and in Scotland
on the sth, 12th, and 19th November. Men of 55
years of age, or who have served 24 years in the Ca-
valry, or 21 years in the infantry, are exempted.

At a late hour last night the Paris Papers of Sun-
day came to hand. The article which seems to de-
serve most attention, as regarding the health of
Europe, is a statement that the prevalence of the
fever has shortened the supply of provisions at Cadiz,
and, in consequence, to lessen the consumption, the
Governor has commanded all foreign vessels to quit
that port. Many of these must have the yellow
fever on board, and, it is feared, may introduce it to
other places, unless the Quarantine Laws are strictly
enforced.
Dutch and Hamburgh Mails arrived this day, but
their contents are not very interesting.

The Duke of KENT arrived at Congdon's Hotel,
Exeter, on Monday night, about twelve o'clock : he
slept at B. Tumult's, Esq.
A handsome service of silver plate has lately been
presented by Prince LEOPOLD to the Mess of the sth
Dragoon Guards, now quartered in Birmingham, of
which Regiment his Royal Highness is Colonel.—
Each article of the service bears the Prince's arms
and the following inscription :—" Presented by Field-
Marshal his Royal Highness Prince LEOPOLD of Saxe-
Coburg, Colonel of the Fifth (or Princess CHARLOTTE
of Wales's) Dragoon Guards, to the Mess of his
Regiment.'
Tuesday se'nnight, the PERSIAN AMBASSADOR,
who has been residing at Cheltenham a few days,
visited Gloucester. His Excellency received every
polite attention from the Very Rev. the DEAN, the
Rev. Dr. MITCHELL, and the worthy Mayor, JOHN
PHILLPOTS, Esq. under whose guidance he inspected
the Cathedral, County-Hall, Gaol, Pin-Manufactory,
&c. with all of which he was much gratified.
Extract of a letter from W. P. COOK, Missionary
at Otaheite s " The whole of this groupe of Islands
are now perfectly Christian ; and if we are to judge
of their conduct by that of nominal Christians in
general, they have vastly the advantage. Theft is
unknown among them; family prayer is set up in
every house; the Missionaries, sixteen in number,
have held their Anniversary Meeting ; a Missionary
Society has been established, of which the RING is
President; three thousand copies of the Gospel of
St. Luke have been published, and ten gallons of
cocoa-nut oil ate given as the price of each."

MEETING ON HUNSLET MOOR

FROM OUR LEEDS CORRESPONDENT.—OcTomm 26.

Mr. WOOLER, who paid the Reformers here a visit
a few days ago, was at the Sheffield Meeting yester-
day, and came here this morning. It being the wish
of the leading Reformers that he should deliver his
sentiments in Public, a placard, of which the follow-
ing is a copy, was speedily got up, and posted round
the Town and vicinity :

" TO THE REFORMERS.

" Mr. Wooler, Editor of The Black Diemf, will deliver an
Address upon Hunslet Moor this day, the 26th of October, at
half-past three o'clock precisely. All Friends of Reform, of
whatever description, are earnestly and respectfully solicited to
attend."

In consequence of this invitation, although the
weather was extremely cold, upwards of five thou-
sand persons assembled on the Moor by the appointed
time.

Friend WILLAN, of Dewsbury, opened the proceed-
ings, by requesting the People to preserve silence,
quaintly Observing, If you will not let us hear you,
we will endeavour to let you hear us !"
Mr. WOOLER then came forward, and gratified the
assembled multitude with one of the ablest and most
eloquent speeches that has been witnessed at any of
the Reform Meetings in this part of the Kingdom ;
but be was rather too rapid in his delivery. [The
speedy departure of the Mail precludes the possibility
of offering any report of it.]
After Mr. WOOLER—Mr. DICKENSON and Mr.
WILLAN shortly addressed the Meeting; and after
exhorting the People to separate peaceably, they
quitted the stage, accompanied by loud cheers.
Mr. MITCHELL next presented himself, and made
a vain attempt to address the assemblage ; but he
was hissed and shouted down ; they would not hear
him. Indeed, since the charge made against him at
the York Meeting, by Mr. Baines, who accused him
of being ze Government Spy, be seems entirely to have
lost the confidence of the Reformers.

The People peaceably dispersed, and the Magis-
trates, very properly, did not attempt to interfere.

WHITE HA VEN ADDRESS, AND SPECIMEN
OF EXCLUSIVE LOYALTY!

Had the circumstances which we are about to re-
cord concerned ourselves alone, we should have been

silent; but as they involve considerations affecting the
liberty of our townsmen, we deem it our duty to lay
before our Readers a plain statement of the facts.
Understanding that a Public Meeting was to be
held at the Public Office on Thursday last, to take
into .consideration the propriety of rescinding the Ad-
dress to the Prince Regent which had been privately
agreed upon and signed by certain Gentlemen of ex-
clusively loyal pretensions, and afterwards publicly
exposed for signature, and that the Earl of LONSDALE
was expected to deliver his sentiments, in consequence
of the general dissatisfaction and disgust which the
measure had excited, we attended the Meeting, with
the view of taking notes of the proceedings.
About forty Gentlemen, as we judged, having as-
sembled, the Chair was taken by the Earl•of Lons-
DALE, and after a considerable pause and whispering,
the following singular conversation took place:
His LORDSHIP, addressing the Reporters, observed,
that it was the wish of the Gentlemen present that their
proceedings should not be taken down in writing.
REPORTER—My Lord, presuming that publicity
was the object of the Meeting, we attend on behalf
of the Public Press.

Earl of LONSDA4.E—I do not know you—what
Press ? _ _ .

REPORTER—The Whiteligven Gazette, my Lord.
Rev. RICHARD AasursrEan—Perhaps, Sir, you
are not aware that this is a private Meeting ?
REPORTER—NO, Sir, we are not; but if taking
Notes be disagreeable, we presume you can have no
objection to our reporting the proceedings from
memory.
A voice from the bottom of the room exclaimed—
" Not if you do it correctly."
Mr. STEEL—To convince you that the Meeting is
private, I will read the Circular which was sent to
the Gentlemen who signed the Address of Tuesday.
He then proceeded to read the Circular, which stated
in general terms that the Subscribers to the Address
of Tuesday were desired to meet at the Public-Office
that day, at twelve o'clock.
After some further whispering—
Mr. STEEL put it to the Meeting whether it was
their wish that any persons should be present except
those who signed the Address ?
A general cry of—" No ! no ! no !"
The Noble CHAIRMAN having declared that the
Meeting was strictly private, and that strangers must
withdraw—the Reporters bowed, and retired.
We doubt whether this was, strictly speaking, a
Private Meeting, or whether, in fact, it was intended
to have been so? the avowed object was of public
import—it was to take into consideration a public
question—the promoters wished it to be understood
as conveying the sentiments of the inhabitants—
and though a free discussion of the subject might
have lessened the character of the Addressers
for consistency and independence, notice 'should
have been given, and a fair opportunity afforded
to ascertain the sense of the town.
Besides, hand-bills had been previously distributed,
announcing that this far famed Radically Loyal Ad-
dress was left at the Public Office for signatures—
an Address which was copied from the printed Cir-
cular (without any printer's name affixed to it) that
had been hawked about the County, and rejected
even by the most devoted and expectant friends of
the Treasury. But, bad as it was, after all descrip-
tions of persons within the County had been publicly
invited to sign it, what right had any man, or set of
men, without explaining their motives, to withdraw
it privately? Under these circumstances, we deny
the legality of determining it a- Private Meeting.
If the Gentlemen really wished to meet in private,
would they not have fixed upon a mare secret place
than a Public Office? -In one respect, indeed, it was
private—they took care to meet on the market-day,
when they knew that the majority of the inhabitants
could not attend to oppose them. But we suspect
there was a still more powerful motive for this unique
proceeding.
Had not the Gentlemen heard it rumoured that it
was the declared intention of one who was not al-
lowed to be beard, to move, as an Amendment, their

adoption of the dainty Address, aid were they afraid
of an open discussion ? We are aware that it has long
been part of the Tory system to keep the country in
a state of political ignorance ; but surely nothing
was ever worse managed than their proceedings here
on Thursday, which forcibly illustrated the folly of
a party affecting to convene a Public private, or Pri-
vate-public Meeting in opposition to the general sense
of the County. The Motion to exclude all, who had
not signed the Tuesday's Address does very little
credit to the perception of Mr. Steel, or to the cha-
racter of the Meeting; for, had it been impartially
acted upon, the Earl of Lonsdale ought to have re-
tired as well as the Reporters, it being now under-
stood that his Lordship had also refused the sanc-
tion of his signature to the Address.
When we saw the too loyal, rejected Address, we
*ere alarmed, conceiving that it was the Manifesto
of Ministers; and we deeply lamented the indelicacy
of the Whitehaven Magistrates, in prematurely ex-
pressing their approbation of the conduct of their
brother Magistrates at Manchester, as it seemed to
imply, that under similar circumstances, they would
act in a similar manner. Therefore it was with feel-
ings of unmingled satisfaction, that we learned that
the Earl of LONSDALE had mildly rebuked their ill-
judged zeal, as it seemed to announce that a change
had taken place in the opinions of the British Cabinet,
founded on more exalted notions of human nature,
and extended views of liberal policy.—A copy of the
following substituted Address was very politely sent
to us in the evening from the Public Office:—
TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE REGENT Or THE
UNITED KINGDOM.
" May it pease your Royal Highness,
" We, his Majesty's most dutiful subjects, the undersigned
Nobility, Magistrates, Gentry, Clergy, and Freeholders, of the
County of Cumberland, contemplating with deep anxiety the
situation of the Country, feel it our duty thus humbly to tender
to your Royal Highness, together with every sentiment of re-
spectful affection towards his Majesty and your Royal Highness,
the assurance of our constant and zealous devotion to the Con-
stitution in Church and State, u by, law happily established
within these realms.
" Superfluous as such an assurance might be justly deemed
under ordinary circumstances, we trust it will not appear unbe-
coming, at a period marked by efforts openly employed with an
activity, a perseverance, and a boldness, unknown but In the
worst times of our history, to mislead to the ruin of themselves
and their country, a great portion of his Majesty's subjects, and
under the specious pretence of fizrout and the restoration of
the Constitution, to inculcate principles of the most dangerous
innovation, tending only to its inevitable subversion, while the
treasonable intention of insuring by force the effect and success
of these principles is hardly disguised.
" Unworthy, indeed, should we be of the name of English-
men, unworthy the eminent blessings we enjoy, if, at such a
moment, we did not avow and proclaim, at every hazard, our
determination to defend and preserve the sacred institutiocs
from which they are all derived. The Public distress first art=
fully turned to excite molar passion, since kept up and exaspe:
rated in Assemblages of the People, frequent and numerous, al-
Most beyond example ; the character of those Assemblies, the
Resolutions issuing from them, the circumstances peculiarly din.
tinguishing them, and the doctrines promulgated and insisted,
upon ;—the audacious abuse of the Liberty of the Press, flagi-
tiously perverted to root from the minds of Englishmen every
sentiment of respect for the Laws, of reverence for Religicn, of
duty to the Sovereign, and of allegiance to the State, can lea\ s
to no unprejudiced man a doubt of the ultimate purpose to which
the machinations of disaffection are systematically directed, or
any other duty to a loyal subject, than that of devoting all his
powers to render it abortive.
" Confiding in the sound reason and uncorrupted hearts of
a great majority of our countrymen, we entertain no appre-
hensions of the result of a contest (come when it may) between
the friends and enemies of the Constitution ; at the same time
we are forced to regret the encouragement and advantage the
dissaffected cannot tail to derive from the proceedings of some
who, we are willing to believe, have far other intentions, which
by their obvious tendency to augment the existing irritation of
the public feeling, incalculably aggravate the danger and dies
culties of the country.
" While we lament, with a sincerity equal to those who have
been loudest in their declamations on the subject, the lives lost
at Manchester, and yield to none in the estimation in which we
hold, as one of the best safeguards of our liberties, the invaluable
and undoubted Right of Petition, we confidently leave it to the
regular tribunals, which we believe fully competent to decide on
the merits of transactions which have recently occurred, and to
fix on those to whom it justly belongs, the heavy responsibility of
having insulted the laws and invaded the real rights of the people.
" In doing this, however, we cannot overlook or abstain from
reprobating the attempts to misrepresent and exaggerate the cir-
cumstances that took place, evidently designedsto anticipate the
judgment of the case, and to preclude the Magistracy from every
chance of justice, by exhibiting them as objects of popular in.
dignation, which, in proportion as they are successful, muse
have the effect of suppressing, in other instances, all zeal in the
discharge of the Magisterial functions, from which the country
has derived so much advantage, and to which it is indebted for
so great a portion of its internal peace and safety.
" We beg humbly to express our satisfaction at the deters*. .
nation your Royal Highness has announced of speedily .-esorting
to the advice of your Parliament. On your Royal Highness
wisdom, assisted by that advice and the proceedings emanating
therefrom, we place under Paosonzacz, our firmest hope, and
to them we cheerfully commit ourselves and our interests, not
doubting that the measures adopted will be the means of guard-
ing and long preserving to us, against all the attacks of impiety
and treason, the Laws, the Religion, and the estimable blessing*
of our free and happy Constitution."—( White/issue Gazette.)
