MEETING OF REFORMERS AT KIL-
M A R NOCK.

Since the people will persist in holding public
Meetings in the fields, it is a matter of satisfaction
when they terminate withnet outrage; for all the
'optional in the countryside are sere to move in the
trans of the not.door speakers, as the sharks wait
upon • ship with the plop, on boird.
The Public Meeting at Kilmarnock, on Stterday,
was accompanied, we are glad to say, with no other
'integre than slat of language. It was held in a
field near Morton-plare, 84. d was attended by up-
wards of 4,000 people, a greet part of whoa were
mere spectators. The nowther ref the latter wneld
have been still greater bet for the rain that, fell co-
piously in the morning.
Mr. WIC RUSSELL first erldressed the Meeting.—
He set forth the elistiog abuses; and endessoured
to impress on his hearers the propriety of petitioning
the Regent for • Reform in the Commons House of
Parliament, sod for a change of Ministry. Ile con-
cluded by proposing Mr. Thomas Adam for the
Chair, which was carried by actlamaliner.
Mr. Anaw, after thanking the Meeting for the
honour done him, recommended the preservation of
order, and initiated the people to beware of the in-
fluence of spies, some of whom he hoped were not
in his eye.
A Gentleman, in a Whelk speech, portrayed the
distresses under which the working classes at present
laboured, and dwelt on the swore of the late trans-
actions is Manchester. Ile concluded by moving the
Resolutions.
These were mended by one who warmly depre-
cated the idea of emigration, as unworthy of Ilri-
sons ; and spoke arefavourshly of the Clergy, for
their spethy in regard to the privations of the wash.-
ing classes.
The Resolutions, which embraced the deepest re-
gret et the late occurrences at Manchester, were
unsnimously passed, end the Alerting broke up in
the hest order.
From the conduct of the populace in Paisley and
Glasgow, the Magistrates sod Council of Kilmar-
nock used every means in their power to secure the
pelagic peace. A number of hoeseholders, indeed,
ell the meat respectable, were swore le as cos-
a Ales. A troop of the Hussars were brought
frees Ayr; sod, with the ceestebles, was all day
in readiness; bet there was not the West am-
won for the services et either. Whets the basin's.
of the day was over, the individuals dispersed ;
these from the country (of whom there might be
Ass, 300 or 400), returning homeward its the same
peseefel manner in which they came. The detach.
ment from the villages of Galileo sod Newmills
marched through the town in parade, carrying two
or three Scots thistles as their ensigns; but no
nags were di-played upon the occasion. They were
accompanied with merle until they cams to the
suburbs ; but to avoid needless offence, It
was there
left by them, and takes up upon their return.—
The Magistrates and Council, after folly considering
the practice of carrying lags, had come to the deter-
mination, that alibents any of the Meeting had been
foolish enough to carry those entneaniug ensigns,
they would not seise these, unless their b and
adherents proceeded to open violence; and loch were
the orders issued by them to the constables.— (G lar-
gos Chronicle.)
