The Seditious Meetings Bill was read a first time in
the House of Lords last night. It is to have .the se-
cond reading on Thursday ; bat the debate en the
principle of the measure is not to take place till the
Bill goes into the Committee. The different enact-
ments will be discussed on Monday, and the third
reading will probably take place en Tuesday,
In the Commons last night, a most important step
towards a real and practical Reform of the Represen-
tation received the concurrence of both sides of the

House. Lord JOHN RUSSELL obtained leave to bring
in a 13ill to disfranchise the Borough of Grampound
(convicted of notorious corruption), and to transfer
the privilege to one or other of the unrepresented
great Towns. Let Parliament follow out the princi-
ple thus once more recognized—for it is not new to
the• Constitution—and they may bid defiance to all
the visionary schemes of the Radicals. -

We ha:e great pleasure in stating, that our ac-
counts from Yorkshire and Lancashire inform us,
that Monday passed over without the anticipated
evils having any where occurred. Every precautitn
had been taken by the Magistrates, backed by the
military, to prevent any tumult or rioting ; but, ap-
pay, the Leaders of the Radicals did not persist in
their intention of holding the proposed Meetings,
which had excited so many alarms for the conse-
quences. A bill was posted early on Monday through-
out Manchester, announciagthat the Requisitionists
had deferred the intended Meeting to a futuri Jay;
and it would appear, that means had been taken by
,the Leaders to preient Meetings in any of the neigh-
tiring villages. A passenger by the mail says, lie
heard there had been Meetings in one or two small
villages; btit-hi this we think there stunt be some
mistake. There might be assemblages a little larger
than.usual—the people having left their work ; but
we have no reason to believe that regular Meetings
for the business of Reform or Petitioning took place
any where, in either Lancashire or Yorkshire. At
Barnsley, in Yorkshire, where a Meeting was to have
been held, we know by the subjoined letter of our
Leeds Correspondent, none took place. Had there
been any in his neighbourhood, he would not have
failed to notice them.

° MANCHESTER, Drc. 14.—Ten o•Cloek, A. M.

" Monday has passed over in perfect tranquillity, the intended
Public !feeting having been postpoaed. fa Tact, the prepara-
tions made to prevent the Meetfhg, or to disperse it by force, u
on the 16th of August, had the effect to mahelthellequisitionists
desist froth their purpose; and In consequence the fallowing In.
dilution was posted in the morning throughout the town and
neighbourhood

' gcrrws.—We, the Requbdtionists, who called the Meeting
to be held in Manchester this day, to address the Pauses Rs-
Gem, and boils Houses of Parliament, beg leave respectfully to
inform the Public, that the said Meeting is, for prudential
reasons, postpoued to a future day, of which dna notice will be
given Monday, December 13, 1119.'
" In the course of the forenoon, different straggling parties
made their appearance, as if intending to be at the Meeting, but
they were far from being so numerous as to excite any alarm,
and it is believed that notice had been sent in time, to theneigh-
bearing places, of the intention to postpone the Meeting.
" I need not add, that every considerate person rejoices that
no attempt was made to persist in having the proposed Meeting,
for addressing the Prince Regent and Parliament ; for, it can-
not be doubted, what the result would have been. Ooss be
thanked we arc all perfectly quiet, nor is there the least appear-
ance that the public peace will b. disturbed in any way whet_
ever through the night. The sown is quite still.
" There were to have been Weedily at Reeks, and other
neighbouring villages, at the same time, but noise took place :--
a pretty plain proof that the leaders of the Radicsh act in concert.
—We are surrounded with military; and, for some days, Man-
chester has presented the aspect of a garrisoned town, preparing
to repel some hostile attack, rather than that of a maaufactur-

(From The lifiriehester Merrary).

" We have just received advice. from Bolton, and are happy
to learn that the peace of that town had not been disturbed by
any tumultuous Meeting, and the molt peifeet tranquillity pre.
ulled. We have the satisfactioo of announcing% that here the day
has finally passed over without the slightest symptom of tumult,
or the least deviation from the placidity of the meet composed
I periods."
" LEEDS, (Nine &Clock p. as.) DEC. Is.
0, I have the satisfaction to state, that the Meeting of Ilse,
formers intended to have been• held this day at Barsiday, and
which had crated so much alarm air to bring down the Lord
Lieutenant from his Parliamentary dudes in town, and caused
almost 4s much military preparation as if an Invading enemy had
been on our shores, has been postponed ski die.--Every preps,
don had been taken to prevent the public peaee from being di..
terbed.—lt is reported here, that we are to have the additiostai
protection of 1,400 more regular troops, who are reethwith to
proceed to this town.".
