A full account of the Public Meeting held on Thurs-
day at Birmingham, will be found in another part
Of our Paper. Sir CHARLES WOLSELEY, who was
at first supposed to be absent, presented himself to
the attention of the Meeting, towards the close of
tie proceedings, and addressed them with a good
deal of felicity on the atrocious transactions which
formed the subject of their deliberations. The
greatest order characterized the whole proceed-
ings, and the people, being so permitted, dispersed
quietly. A Requisition, signed by 700 of the Freemen
of Coventry, has been handed to the Mayor, for a si-
milar Meeting to the above; and it is expected that the
Mayor will accede to it.

It will be seen by a Notice in another part of our
Paper, that a select party of the Livery of London
have had a Meeting, for the ostensible purpose of
taking into consideration such measures as may be
necessary to secure due order and decorum at the
Election of LORD MAYOR, on Michaelmas Day. What
the real object of the Meeting was, nobody can be at
a loss to discover--that it is the undoubted privilege
of the Livery, assembled in Common Hall for the
Election of LORD MAYOR, to proceed without inter-
ruption to such Election no person will dispute ; but,
if the rnajotity of the Livery choose to suspend the
exercise .of this privilege for a short period, to take
into consideration mattzt s deeply affecting their in-
terests as Citizens of London, and as Englishmen,
It is equally their undoubted privilege that they shall
not be interrupted in such a course of proceeding.—
We understand that there is an intention of proposing
some other subjects for the consideration of the Li-
very before they proceed to the Election, and if the
Livery choose to entertain the proposition, which they
have a right to do, we conceive the LORD MAYOR is
bound by his oath to protect them in the exercise
of this as much as of any other privilege.
These select Liverymen profess that the observance
of " order and' decorum" is their object. If it be
really so, they cannot better promote that object than
by yielding that respect to the sentiments of their
Fellow Citizens, which the sentiments of a majority
are always entitled to. For a few to talk of " putting
down" (by clamour, we presume) the sense of the
great Body of the Livery, is foolish—mischievous.
The fair course of duty, on the part of the LORD
MAYOR, is one which need excite no apprehension
either in his Lordship or his friends. All that is de-
manded is, that his Lordship shall protect the Livery
in the free exercise of their unquestionable right of
declaring what they think ; and we apprehend the
exercise of this duty will require no very gigantic
effort on the part of his Lordship. The Livery of
London, like " the blood of Douglas, can protect
itself."

A PRECEDENT.

There was no business done at the Quarterly As-

sembly of the Corporation of Norwich, on Tuesday
last, on account of the Aldermen having objected to
admit three persons to their Freedom : and on a con-
ference, declining to give their reasons for rejecting

them, a motion was made by Mr. SPRINGFIELD, and

seconded by Mr. EDWARD TAYLOR, that no farther
business should be gone into, unless the Aldermen
would give their reasons for tuch rejection. The
motion was supported by Mr. FRANCIS and Mr.
Gooowts, and a ballot demanded, when there ap-
peared'a majolity of 15 for the motion. The Com-

,rpons, thererote, refused to enter into any other part
of the busine.,s which was to have been brought be-
fore them ; and, after waiting a considerable time,

MANCHESTER, SEPTEMBER 22.
Mrs. .WaoE and her shop-boy have been again
taken into custody for publishing a libel. This poor
woman, who has a child at her breast of only five
months old, was, after being some time in custody,
discharged, upon two persons giving bail for £5O
each. This is the second time she has been in prison
within ten days, and this forms the thirteenth process
which has been instituted against Mr. Wan; the
proprietor of The Observer, and his family, within
about four months. Mr. \Vitas was arrested twice
upon the warrants of the Magistracy,• and held to
bail in each case, himself in £5OO with two sureties
in £250 each. Three Bills of Indictment were shortly
afterwards found against him atthe Quarter Sessions,
and the same amount of bail was r‘quired in each
case. This bail Mr. WitoE was unable to procure,
and was therefore compelled to absent himself in or-
der to avert imprisonment. In his absence, the other
processes have been instituted, including the Bills
found by the Grand Jury at Lancaster. But the
major part of those processes have consisted merely
in the warrants of the Magistracy, without the inter-
position of any Jury.
There was an extraordinary Meeting of the Lan-
cashire Magistrates Et the New Bailey on Monday,
for what purpose I cannot divine. It is said, that a
very decided majority of the Magistrates of this
County, disapprove of the conduct of those who acted
in this town on the 16th ult. and I have heard that
several of them express their intention to proclaim
this disapprobation in the shape of a Protest.
