 by proclamation. 21 have been charg-ed 

 with manslaughter and murder, and of 

 these, 12 convicted of man.-laiig-hler. Two

 reprieved. 



The proceeding's in the recent public 

 meeting of the Ley-payi-rs, IManchester, 

 afforded unequivocal proof, that the mas- 

 sacres of Aug. 16, 1819, liad made a lasting 

 impression on their minds, and that the 

 agents in those transactions do not possess 

 the confidence of their townsmen. A ge- 

 neral conviction was expressed that the 

 representations of Sir Francis Burdelt, 

 ■" not only did not exaggerate, but fell 

 short of the truth." — that the ni-^etinp: of 

 Aug. 16, was " legally assembled and 

 peaceable," and that the same was illegally 

 dispersed.

A Society has been recently formed in 

 Liverpool, of literary and scientific charac- 

 ters, for the purpose of collecting aid pre-

A suitable plot of laud containing 22000 

 square yards lias been purchased tor a 

 general burying-gronnd, ia Manchester. 

 The crowded state of nearly all the places 

 of burial, the distance of the places, the 

 inadequate protecticni for the dead, and the 

 objections of Di>senters to the burial ser- 

 vice, have long been matters of serious 

 consideration. In the new plan, the ground

 cotton spinner and manufacturer of great 

 respectability. Being endowed with strong 

 natural powers of mind, he had acquired a 

 considerable fund of general knowledge, 

 and had made no small proficiency iu sci- 

 entific pursuits, both in theory and prac- 

 tice, having given proofs of his abilities by 

 the construction of various reflecting and 

 achromatic tel.:?scopes and other philoso- 

 phical instruments. He was truly patriotic 

 as to the welfare of his country, equally 

 devoid of the violence of one party, and the 

 serviity of the other ; of cheerful and so- 

 cial habits, aud of firm and manly deport- 

 ment, always advocating the cause of civil 

 and religious liberty, with an energy and 

 promptitude peculiar to himself. He was 

 an active as well as useful member of so-

 encouraging, and liberally supporting all
