[t.o die Requisition of sic teen hunched Freebeldets and
Inhabitants, by convening the County on the present
-- • -

occasion.

The motion was seconded by JAMES BULL, Esq.
and carried by acclamation, as were. Thanks to the
Chairman, for his able conduct in the Chair.

After the Thanks of the Meeting had been voted
to the Mayor of Bodmin, for his readiness in granting
the use of the Hall, the Meeting dispersed.
The Address to the Prince Regent was signed by
a great number of persons.
About five o'clock, upwards of one hundred per-
sons dined together at the King's Arms; E. J. Glynn,
Esq. was in the Chair. The health, of Sir William
Lemon was drank with three times three. On the
health of Mr. Rashleigh being drank, that Gentleman
addressed the company in an animated speech, in
which he stated the motives by which himself and
his friends felt themselves bound to obey the call
made on them for convening the County, and ani-
madverted on the manner in which the signatures
affixed to the Declaration of the'Borough-patrons
and their supporters were arranged under the dif-
ferent Boroughs, so that they enabled all England to
judge how their party was formed. He concluded
by proposing the health of their Chairman, the son of
that sound patriot and able lawyer, Mr. Serjeant
Glynn, which was received with loud applause. The
different Gentlemen present addressed the company,
on their healths being drank. The company sepa7
rated at an early hour, highly gratified with the pro-
ceedings of the day.

UPPER WARD If LAN ARKSHIRE MEETING.

LANARK, NOVEMBER 23.

The inhabitants of this place have to-day been
amused with the spectacle of a Procession of Radical
Reformers, on their way to and from the Race
Course, where a Meeting was some time ago adver- ,
tised to be held. The number that passed through
the town in procession, consisting of spectators from
the adjacent villages, as well as of those who be.
longed to Lanark, might amount to between two and
three thousand. They were attended with drums and
fifes, and carried four standards. Two of the stan-
dards were white, another red, and a fourth white,
surrounded with black crape, bearing the inscription,
" We mourn for the sufferers at Manchester"—" No
Corn Bill." On the flags were specimens of the Ra-
dical slogan; such as, " Let us unite in a good cause,"
" The sons of Britain never shall be slaves," &c. ecc.
Besides those who were accompanied by the flags
and music to the place of meeting, there were many
who attended as Radicals who did not choose to ap-
pear in the Procession, but walked out in parties of
four and• five. Altogether, the Meeting might con-
sist of somewhat less than three thousand, and of
these about one-half appeared to be mere spectators.
A person, by trade a weaver, having been elected
Chairman by a shew of hands, addressed them on
the evils of the times, the abuses of the Constitution,
and the remedies necessary•for Reform. He expa-
tiated upon the original and increased price of to-
bacco, tea, and coffee. He stigmatised the Corn Bill
as having been hatched in hell, and carried into m-
ention by the agents of Satan on earth! He was fol-
lowed by several others, all in the same strain ; one of
whom said, that if our ancestors had been used in
the manner that we are at the present day, the fields
of Scotland would have been dyed in blood ; that
they (the Radicals) were determined to reduce the
Constitution to its original purity, though the heaths
of their Country should smoke with their blood in'
the struggle. After exhausting their rhetoric in
general declamation, they_ proceeded to stigmatize
those who were obnoxious to them, and to pass votes
of Thanks on those who had shewn them favour.
The Meeting next proceeded to the passing of the
Resolutions of Reform, which were of the same na-.
ture as those at other Radical Meetings, and need
not be detailed.

Mr. COBEITT gave, on Friday, a public reception,
in Clayton-square, Liverpool, to the Deputies from
Manchester and its neighbourhood who had been ap-
pointed to wait on him with an Address of Congra-
tulation. A crowd of about 3,000 persons collected
to witness the ceremony. After the Address was
read, Mr. COBBETT replied to it in a speech of about
half an hour in length. The tone of it was mild
and conciliating. He earnestly recommended a
peaceable and patient deportment on the part of
the People ; he spoke of the necessity of a Radi cal
Reform in Parliament, and declared, that having
watched the conduct of the Rulers of all States, and
studied the forms of their Governments—it was his
decided conviction, that that of England, consisting
of King, Lords, and Commons, with a People fairly
represented, was the best which could possibly be'
devised, and no other would he advocate, or wish to
see established.

The following is an extract ffom the Petition of cer-
tain Merchants, Manufacturers, and others, Inhabi-
tants of Manchester, to the House of Commons, pub-
Bated in the Manchester Gazette of Saturday. After
describing the arrest of Mr. Hum., it thus proceeds :
" That the corps of the Manchester Yeomanry, together with
the regiment of Cheshire Yeomanry, and a body of the 15th
Hussars, both of which had by this time come upon the field,
I did then charge upon the People in all directions, and to a great
distance from the place of Meeting: in consequence of which
eight persons have lost their lives, and not less than 400 or 500
of his Majesty's loyal, though suffering subjects, including all
ages, from old men and women of 75, to young boys and girls
of 14, were grievottsly crdshed, trampled upon, bruised, maim-
ed, or sabred.
" That your Petitioners understand and believe, and, indeed,
many yf them are, by personal observation, enabled positively to
assert, that no act whatever, siring be the Meets* the Character V
e tumultuous and rides' Assembly, had, et the period of this Me-
kat incursion I the Clemby, been committed.
" That ad.nittisig the right of the Magistrates, in the exercise
,of their best discretion, to make Proclamation, commanding
the Meeting to disperse, your Petitioners are induced to bilieve,
that at the Meeting of the 16th
