POLICY.

MANSION HOWL—The crowds again assembled in
and about the Mansion House yesterday morning,
were very considerable. An expectation was indulged
that Carlile would be brought up and bailed, but the
LORD MAYOR had determined that be would take the
full advantage of the time prescribed by law, for in-
vestigating the proffered bail, viz. 48 hours. Carlile
cannot, of course be bailed before this day.
Among other scenes which occurred, was the fol-
lowing ;—An outre, but well dressed fellow, of gi-
gantic stature and muscular frame, was brought in
with some difficulty by two of the officers, who stated
that he as marching ah.ng, en militnire, through
Cheapside, with a placard, of which the following is
a. copy, stuck in his hat Reform—National and
Universal." It was written in large and prominent
characters, and the proclaimer, as he proceeded, con-
stantly uplifted a huge oak stick, with which he
pointed to the declaration. Being conducted to the
Justice-room (from which the LORD MAYOR had just
retired) and placed at the bar, he inquired in a tone
of vociferation, whether he was now at the Seat of
Justice, and whether he had committed a breach of
the law by sounding an alarm through the country?
The Chief Clerk told him, that the Magistrate
would decide whether he was acting improperly or
not. The placard was-then taken in to the Loan
MAYOR, who•Vms engaged in his private room, and
soon afterwards one of the Marshals returned with
his Lordship's determination that thelnan might be
discharged ; but at the same time directing, that the
officers should be vigilant in taking into custody
persons found engaged in the circulation of inflam-
matory matter, is whatever shape, during the pre-
sent state of affairs.

The prisoner broke out intathe most violent invec-
tives, not only against the Civic Administration of
his Lordship, but matters of State generally. " Give
us justice," he cried, with a voice that reverberated
through the adjacent Hall, " justice is all that Re.
formers require ; and when justice is refused, depend
upon it, Jacobinism is near at hand. The people
have been injured, and have wrongs to redress ; so
also, as an individual, I have been persecuted, and
have wrongs to redress."
One of the Marsh* told him, if he felt_ aggrieved,
he must apply to the proper 9narter for justice.
" D—n your justice !" said he ; " what would
have become of you, if the Meeting had been held at
Kennington Common ? Where, then, would be your
justice, while your blood flossed, and, perhaps, like
Sodom and Gomorrah, not even ten righteous of this
great City would be saved ! Do you want to hear
truth," he added, " then read, mark, and inwardly
digest this."—(l-lere the prisoner presented various
copies of She: win's and Cobbett's R egisters.)— He
finally declared, that he would not cease in his pa-
triotic endeavours, until the country was made " a
land flowing with milk end honey f'
I3eing set at liberty, he soon afterwards furnished'
himself with a placard, such as had been tmn from
his bat, and pursued his way along Cheapside,
Yleet-
street, the Strand, &c.

The LORD MAYOR performed the routine business
in the Justice-room until nearly 2 o'clock, when he
proposed to visit the environs of Smithfield. Ife had
on the night before received information that the
Committee, the moment they heard of the suggestion
of Major Cartwright, with respect to the intended
Meeting, unai;imou,iy opposed it.
It appeared that Mr. Mills, of Bristol, upon con-
veying to the Committee, at which Dr. Watson pre-
sided, the written intellivere that Major Cartwright
was averse to the proposal of assembling at Smith-
field, called upon them to per form their promise of
abiding by it. The answ,:r was, that delay could
not ensure success, and that the Meeting• certainly
would take place.
Mr. Mills, who came from Thistol in a Russian
hunting cap, for the purpo.e of dissuading the Ra-
dicals from meeting on the occa,ion, was so di,gusted
at this breach of faith exhibited upon such an ether-
gency, that he determined ',ever to have inter-
course with the Doctor again, on with any other of
those who in his estimation have neither principle nor
understauding. He waited upon Mrs. Watson with
the assurance that all acquaintance, either political or
private, between him and the Doctor, was at an end.
This communication, added to the positive decla-
ration that the measure was quite at variance with
the opinions of every man of weight and under-
standing in the country, was sneerel at by the Doc-'
tor, who had expected the approbation of Major,
Cartwright, of Wooler, aad Carlile, to his proposal
of a Meeting, started forward, for the first time, as
the prominent leader an.l adviser of the Committee
and the multitude of ordinary Radicals. Under all
these circumstances it was thought necessary to have
all the arrangements of the 21st of July adopted.
Before the Loan Mayon quitted the Justice- room,
an Union-hail Acer brought before him a low squat
man, who strutted through the room in such a man-
ner as to excite general laughter. There was in-
stantly through the office a whisper that he was a
Radical. Upon taking a place opposite to the LORD
MAYOR, he threw himself into an attitude that be-
trayed- his intention to make a speech, and said,
" Wherefore am I here ?"

The Officer said, he had apprehended his prisoner
at Kennington-common, on Monday, holding a pla-
card, containing, on one side, the words " Order,
order; Universal, Civil, and Religious Liberty ;" and
on the other, " The Meeting is deferred to a future
day. A Public Meeting in Smithfield on Wednesday
next, at Four o'clock, P. NI."

LORD MAYOR.--What is the gentleman's name?
Prisoner.—l am Samuel Waddington. By what
law am I brought here ?
LORD MAYOR.—By what authority did you hold up
a placard, stating, that there was a Meeting to take
place in the City, and inviting the Public to attend it?
Waddington.—That there is a question which the
laws do not request me to answer. It is my plea-
sure not to do so.

LORD Matron.—You were standidg on Kennington-
common with the placard in your hand, holding it
up to the passers-by : why did you do so ?
Waddington.—That I was there I do not deny;
but why I was there, it is my pleasure not to answer.
There is nothing in the laws to compel me to it. Ingo
by the laws, and shall answer upon the law.
The LORD MAYO/1.-DM not yciur fondness fOr
the law prompt you -to,thirek that you were_doing:

1

what might tend to a breach of the race and of
course to a violation of that which you Profess to
venerate ?
Waddington.--I don't deny that I held the pla-
card ; but what law is against that? Although I
may not paste placards against your City wills, that
is no reason I should not cover myself all over with

them.
The LORD MAYOR.—Who employed you to make
such a figure of yourself?
Waddington.—That question it is not my pleasure
to answer : I am devoted to my country, and I stand
' by the laws.
The LORD MAYOR—I am glad to hear you say so,
and trust that you will in all cases of necessity apply
to them, as well as advise your friends to do so.
Waddington— A)e, aye; but then, law is unfortu-
nately not be had without money. The Laws are
good, but the Lawyers are of a different cast, and will
do nothing without money.
The LORD MAYOR—I am not a Lay per, and shall
charge you nothing for my advice, and yet it is AF,
good a; that of any legal mail. Be industrious;
there is plenty of work for those who are idling about
but if once you get amongst the herd of lazy growl-
ers, you'll find it difficult to be any thing but a fool.
Mr. Waddington looked rather astonished. He
turned to the right and to the left, but his eloquence
drooped. At last he said he was independent, and
had a good deal of business. " I printed that placard
myself; which I carried about(said be) and my respect
for the laws compelled me to burn 200 of a similar
kind, mevely because my compositor made a mistake
in them as to my address."
" Well, my friend," said the LORD MAYOR, 4( I
trust you will take my advice. Officer, I shall do
nothing further with Mr. Waddington : take him
back to Union•hall."
As Waddington was going away, he sail he should
certainly summon the Lord Mayor to Cobbler's Chan-
cery (the Court of Requests) for the value of the loss
of his day.
About three o'clock his Lordship walked from the
Mansion-house to the Giltspur-street Comptcr, and
remained there until Smithfield Meeting concluaed.

BOW..STREET.—S£DITIOCS PinaticATioNs.—Yes-
,terday Chrid(Ther Harris was brought to this Office,
charged with being a vender of seditious publica-
tions, and particularly fer selling the last number of
" Sherwin s Political Register. —Benjamin Morris,
a constable, and messenger belonging to the Office,
said he had purchased the publication in question at
the shop of the prisoner.—The prisoner declared his
innocence of the charge. On being questioned by
the Magistrate, he stated his residence tobe in Broad-
court, Bow- street ; that he was a bookseller by trade;
that he did not know the author of the publication in
question, which he procured in the way of his busi-
ness, and was not employed by any person.
Magistrate--I think you were in trouble not long
since. —The prisoner pretended not to understand the
question.
Magistrate—lf you are a bookseller, you can't
be so ignorant as not to understand the question.—
The prisoner, after some hesitation, admitted that he
understood the Magistrate ; which trouble meant that
he had been indicted for keeping a common brothel,
in the very house where he is now selling this and
other infamous publications. The prisoner admit-
ted this to be the case, but said the prosecution did
not proceed, because he had removed the gills from
his house.

The Magistrate—This was not the case: the parish
officers did not proceed in the prosecution, but it was
owing to your family, poverty, and your promising a
different course of life.

Prisoner—l have pursued a different course of life.
Magistrate—What ! in selling such publications as
this ?—The prisoner, in reply, said, he did not know
Elia-. there was any harm in the publication. lie in-
quired if he cou:d be admitted to bail ?—The Ma-
gistrate, in reply, trAd him he should sit at the Office
till midnight, and if sufficient bail was offered for him
he would receive it.—The prisoner inquired if the
witness who had given evidence against him was an
officer belonging to the Office ?—The Magistrate
appeared rather astonished at the inquiry, but con-
descended to say that the person who had given evi-
dence upon the charge was a messenger employed at
the Office, that he had not been paid for what he had
done in this business, nor would he he paid.—After
remaining a few hours in custody, bail was offered
for the prisoner by two persons, named Brookes and
West, which, on due examination, was accepted, and
he was discharged.

UNION HALL—Yesterday Samuel Waddineon,
who was brought before the Magistrates of this Of-
fice on Monday last, from Kennington Common,
where he was exhibiting a placard of the adjourn-
ment of the intended Meeting there on that day, and
another of the intended Meeting yesterday in Smith-
field, and who had been sent by the Magistrates of
this Office on Tuesday before the LORD MAYOR, to
answer any charges that might be made against him
in the City, was remanded by the LORD MAYOR to
this Office, and underwent an examination before
L. B. ALLEN, Esq. the presiding Magistrate, when,
upon proof of the prisoner being the person who was
exhibiting this hand-bill to the Public on a pole, on
Kennington Common, by Robert Hall, one of the
Officers of this. Office, who had taken him into cus-
tody, and his own confession that he was also pi in-
ter of the hand-bill, he was ordered to find bail for
a misdemeanour, in " unlawfully publishing a cer-
tain seditious printed hand-bill, for the purpose of
calling a Public Meeting of the British Metropolis
on that day, in Smithfield, in the City of London,
for appealing to the PRINCE REGENT to stay the
hands of merciless and blood-thirsty tyrants, and to
save the country from massacre and murder, and
thereby intending to excite, stir up, and provoke tu-
mult, riot, sedition, and disaffection amongst his Ma-
jesty's
subjects to assemble at such Meeting."—The
prisoner, upon being interrogated as to who and what
he was? answered, that he was a printer, and a shoe-
maker also; and that he carried on both his trades
(press and beech) in a one pair of stairs back room,
at No. 12, New Bolton-street, Long-acre, where he
had lived about a month, and had no family; that'
he had printed the bills in question, but refused to
tell who had employed him or paid him; and that
he was one of the Middlesex Committee named in
the hand-bill. The Magistrate, at the close of the
examinAtion,:informed the prisoner he might be ad-
to bad, upon fiadin sufficient suretieei but

to call upon him for bail, and declared he w •
