The Rhode Island Republican

London, Aug. 22.

A meeting at the Crown and Anchor, convened for the purpose of taking into consideration what they choose to call the Murders & Massacres at Manchester, took place yesterday. The large room was filled by 1 o'clock, when loud cries of chair, chair! commenced. A party then entered the room amidst tremendous huzzas; and amongst the individuals were Gale Jones, Dr. Watson, Major Cartwright, Mr. Waddington &c.

Mr. Waddington being called to the chair, began by stating that he had witnessed many terrible scenes; he had beheld the severities committed in America, but never had to read so terrible a page as that presented by the details of the atrocities at Manchester.--(Loud cries of bravo!)--He had been also in France, in Spain, and in Belgium: he had witnessed four Revolutions--(Cries of "you shall see a fifth!")--but never had he beheld any thing so horrible as the conduct at Manchester, the attacks upon defenceless men, harmless women, and suckling children.--(Immense applause)

---He conjured them to their duty; to be firm; and to shew themselves worthy of Hampden and Sydney.--(Bravo, bravo!)

Mr. Wooler then rose. He said, bad as was the system, he had never expected to behold such deliberate marshalling of murder and bavoc, bloodshed and massacre. They did not see the merciless conduct of any one individual; but they beheld a conclave of fiends assembled, and deliberating how they could let loose murder and destruction with most effect.--(Loud huzzas.)--After denouncing the two parties, and eulogizing the third party of the people, he proceeded to state, that the said authorities opposed all Reform, and that the people must act for themselves. Mr. W. concluded by reading a series of Resolutions, declaring the meeting at Manchester to have been legally held, reprobating the conduct of the Yeomanry, condemning the jesuitical circular of Lord Sidmouth, the obscure proclamation of the Prince Regent, and the other acts of Ministers; but applauding the conduct of the regular soldiery, and calling upon the inhabitants of London, Westminster, Southwark and Country, to convene Public Meetings, and to express their abhorrence of so detestable a crime.

Major Cartwright seconded him.

Mr. Gale Jones, at great length, stated his concurrence in all that had been said, and concluded by moving, that a subscription be opened for the purpose of employing counsel on behalf of the persons apprehended, and that Mr. Harmer and Mr. Pearson should be their solicitors. He called on the widows and friends of the dead not to allow their bodies to be interred till bills had been preferred against the Yeomanry for murder.

The several resolutions were then put and unanimously agreed to; and after votes of thanks had been passed to Maj. Cartwright, to Mr. Wooler, Mr. Hunt, &c. the meeting quietly separated.
