It had rainod iucosnantly during tbu wholw riay till towards the hour of meeting , when it suddenly cleared np , and it really vra * graiifyiug to every luvor
of liberty to see the working men iu hundreds directing their steps towards the place appointwd , testifying their respect , as they went along , fur the worthy magistrates' proclamation by hL-tses and groans . It ought to have been mentioned befor . % that the bellman having reftmed t » call th » mooting , a working maa procured a watchman ' s rick , prooeeded through tbe principal strooti " , annouucinj [ that the magistrates having illegally interfered to stop the meeting , they were determined , notwithstanding , to meet , and that tho coinicitttw would be responsible for tbe consequences . Tha effo « t produced by thi « bold step was most astounding ; the Jack ' s in office became actually confounded ; while the friends of the cause testified their approbation in every possible manner . _ All the military force , consisting of a few recruiting ; parlies , the militia staff , and a number of special constables , we-ru held in readiness to act ; but evelUunily , as there wero no occasion for their services , th « y retired to their

The Duke was lately a vast favsurito , when h « atemed inclined
to their tenets , and a print of his Graoe was offered with thoir seven days' production , and he was lauded to tha shies ' . He was then a wondmful man , hi 3 carriage was nujiwiie , bit couptenunce hcuutifoL , hie mind gigantic , and hi <* jiowers extraordinary . Alas 1 it was a d * ad failure . Tim Editor of the Paper in question always declares that the popular ignorance prevents the hope of Universal Suffrage . Wo , a trust that the refusal of his nonsonse by tho people , on this . occasion , proving their superior knowledge , vrill now induce him to advocate their having the franchise .
