COUNTY MEETINGS.

A Requisition to call a Meeting for the county of
Berks, signed by Mr. HALLETT, Mr. FULWAR CRA-
vt,N, the Rev. W. FOWLE, and thirty other Gentlemen,
has been forwarded to the Sheriff of Berks, for the
consideration of the late transactions at Manchester.
We understand that a Requisition is about to be
presented to the Sheriff, to convene a Meeting for
Hampshire, to consider of the late transactions at
Manchester.—Hampshire Chronicle.
It is now certain, and we rejoice that we are ena-
bled to communicate the information to the Public,
that a Requisition to the Sheriff of the County of Cum-
berland will shortly be given in, signed by many of
the most respectable Gentlemen in Cumberland, re-
questing him to convene a Public Meeting, fotihe,
purpose of expressing their sentiments on the late
legal proceedings of the Manchester Magistrates and
Yeomanry, in attacking and dispersing a legal Meet-
ing of the people. We understand that Wigton will
be the place appointed for the Meeting, but the pre-
cise day on which it will be held is not, we believe,
determined upon.—Carlisle Jo:anal.
The following is published in The York Herald as
the substance of the Requisition for the Meeting. of
Yorkshire. It was intended to present the Requisi-
tion this day, and the Meeting is expected to be
called for Wednesday, the 20th instant :
To rut HMI SHERIFF or YORKSHIRE," &C. &C.
" Events having recently occurred at Manchester, which not
being hitherto satisfactorily explained, appear to affect import-
ant Rights of the Poople, and essential Principles of the Consti-
tution ; we, the undersigned, request you to call a N' etting of
the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and Freeholders of the County of
York, for the purpose of demanding an inquiry into those trans-
actions, and also for the purpose of preventing any invasion of
the acknowledged Rights of the People (if such shall appear to
have occurred) from being drawn into dangerous precedent, by
obtaining a distinct and full Vindication of those Rights."
CITY OF CARLISLE.
A Requisition has been published, signed by 46
persons, inhabitant householders of Carlisle and its
vicinity, who state that, " having presented a Requi-
sition to the Worshipful the Mayor, requesting him
to call a Public Meeting, for the purpose of express-
ing their abhorrence of the late massacre of their
countrymen, legally assembled in Manchester for po-
litical purposes, and to express their sentiments upon
the absolute necessity there exists for a Radical Re-
form in the House of Commons, and the Mayor hav-
ing declined calling the said Meeting, the Requisi-
tionists therefore appoint a Public Meeting to beheld
on Monday, the 11th day of October next, on Coal-
Fell-Hill, at the high end of Newtown."--JosEPHWIL-
Fain PARKINS, Esq. (one of the new Sheriffs of Lon-
don) has been invited to attend and preside.
" We are compelled," says The Carlisle Journal,
" from a sense of our duty, to state, that the Com-
mittee of Reformers who have called the preceding
City Meeting, have refused to coalesce with, or even
listen to, the voice of the respectable Gentlemen who
have signed the County Requisition. We regret the
decision of these men, because we had earnestly de-
sired and recommended an union of action with thel
rich and working classes, from the conviction that the
measure would greatly tend to promote the views
entertained by those who are friendly to Reforms
