MEETING IN HAMPSHIRE ow THE CORN LAWS. Friday a Meeting of the great Landowners and Farmers of Andover and its vicinity toil place at the George Inn, in that town; for the purpose of petitioning Parliament to continue the Corn Laws in their most rigid operation ; but scarcely had they assembled, when Mr. Hunt and Mr. Marsh entered the room. Sir JOHN POLLEN propose.] a string of Resolutions, declaring that nothing but the Corn Laws could relieve Ole agricultural distress, and praying that no regula tions should be adopted by the-Legislature calculated to establish a free trade in Corn and Wool. _ Mr. HUNT pressed S;r John to make a speech upon the subject ; wheteupon the lion. Baronet repent-d some of .the topics of the Petition founded on the Re solutions. Colonel I sounoseta, who seconded the propedtion, could not be prevailed upon to say a word. Mr. MA RSH then objected to the resolutions, approved of the suspension of the Corn Laws, and ascribed the existing distress to the conduct of the late Parliament, in " tampering" with the circulating medium, and in adopting other measures of a well known injurious tendency. Mr. HUNT attacked the freeholders, and assured the farmers, that the landlords did not care a pin about their interests or their feelings, and made them screw up the poor, in order that they might be enabled to pay. exorbitant rents to themselves. Eventually, a petition, directly in the teeth of that which had been originally proposed, was agreed to almost unanimously. Mr. HUNT then moved a vote of thanks to the Chair• man, and the other Gentlemen who had called them tngeiher, and but for whom they could not have bad this opportunity of expressing their sentiments upon so important a subject. The motion was carried amidst laughter and cheers. This was the fret public meet* ever held at Andover within the anistry et Nom WOMAN'S TEARS. Have ynn not seen when rain-drops falling Gently from the lowering skies, While swiftly mingling with the waters, Bubbles en the surfaee rise; Which u they float, but feel a breath, And meet an almost instant death ! Have you not seen 'too, tears o'erflowing • Lovely woman's downcast eyes, And felt sweet hope, each full vein swelling As they mingle with her sighs -Bwift glide such movements—:thearts dissever, • Aud Peace, the bubble's wreck'd for ever! CORONER'S INQUESTS. Thursday an Inquest was held at the Prince Regent, in the Liverpool road, Islington, on the body of William Fa lend, Esq. aged sixty-three, who expired suddenly in . that house on the preceding day. Mrs. Neville, mother to the landlord, deposed, that on Wednesday the de ceased, while in their parlour, was served with a glass of peppermint. • Shortly afterwards she heard a strange nrise, and on ping into the parlour found him much indisposed. She sent for a Doctor ; but before he had arrived, the Gentleman was dead. William Holloway, surgeon, deposed, that he opened a vein to satisfy the spectators, although he considered it useless, as life was extinct. He had no doubt of apoplexy being•the cause of his death. Mr. Neville stated that the deceased's pockets were searched, and in them were found two half-sovereigns, two half-crowns, a shilling, and some other articles ; also a letter, and a tradesman's bill, which apparently had just been paid, and which led to a discovery that he lived at No. 3, Park-buildings, Back Road. Islington. He was a widower with eight children.—Verdict, Died by the visitation of GOD. An Inquest was held at the Board Room of West nrinster Hospital, on Saturday, on the body of Robert Peace, aged 62, a master hack neyman for the lam 30 years. It appeared he was driving, about nine in the evening, into Vincent-square, Vauxhall road, when, from there being a heap of gravel, three feet high, on the south side (which had remained there twelve months), and no lamps by which it might be dis cerned, the wheels went over it, the coach was upset, and the deceased received a fracture on the thigh, and an internal rupture, which caused his death in the course of the night. Mr. Bath, the landlord of the Re gent's Arms, in that neighbourhood, was also on the box, but escaFed unhurt. Verdict—Accidental Death, with a deodand of Is. on the coach, and 10s. on the gravel ; and the Jury expressed their censure on the Commissioners of Paiement, for suffering the bank of gravel to remain without a light or fence, to prevent mischief. Lord Che terfield (says Lord Orford) thus directed • letter to the late Lard Pembroke, who was always swimming : .4 To the Earl of Pembroke. in the Thames, over aga;nst Whitehall." This direction was sure of finding him within a certain souther of fathoms. A rogue once called at an inn. and prevailed on the landlord to give him a beef-steak and a pint of wine, in return for a valuable secret he would communicate afterwards ;which was, as he had just quitted the tread mill at Leeds, thit the place next the wall was the easiest. In consequence of the proptiet , :rs of several factories in Manchester and Oldham having reduced the rate of wages, the work people have turned out, and the mas ters having employed females to supply their places, much disturbance has taken place between the new and the old hands. BA IIi:STAPLE, S&PTIIIBER 20.—The great :annual Fair of this town commenced yesterday with bullocks, almost exclusively of the North Devon breed. Cattle fit for the butcher sold for ten shillings for every score or twenty pounds of estimated quantity of beet, sinking the offal—or, in wher words, giving over the hide, tallow, and appurtenances to the purchaser, which being in rough calculation usually estimated as w orth one fifth part of the whole bullock, .reduces the price to about 4.11 per pouid. Lean cattle sold at very low prices. I saw one lot of cows, which had been turned off from the dairy about three weeks, srld for seven pounds a head. Hay is at an extraordinary price here, from the bad harvest, cad she demand for that article from the neighbouring watering place of Ilfracombe where hay has been sold for tea pounds a ton t2O cwt.), some innholdersfrom that town have giveu eight. pound, a ton, or eight ibillings per hundred weight for hay here to draw to Ilfracombe. The dry .surumer has caused so many horn} to fail in their. legs.- that it has caused a poeral defitisiiii 4f good hot ses at most of the provincial races. HASTINGS! Of all the Watering places recommend me to Hast ings. At Margate, you are suffocated by rank cock neyisin; at Broadstairs you are-cooped up in paltry liitle pigeon boxes, like so many tame sea-gulls ; at Ramsgate, you are frozen to a st 4nd-still by frigid genkelativeness ; at Sandwich there is nothingbut sand, salt-pans, and the ruins of old R;chborough Castle ;at Deal—de el tak the hindmost ! is the cry of every traveller as he rattles through its dirty streets t• get out Of it as soon as pos -1 s a ble ;at Dover you are overdone with carts, coal-dust, and Custom. heuse officers; at Sandgate you see no:hi ng but the domiciles of half a dozen dowagers, three fa mily bathing-machines, and a twenty gun battery, duly displayed by the side of a vile candy road through which no horses can travel faster than three miles and a half an hour ; and at Hythe, Folkestone, the two Romneys, Rye, and Winchelsea, they have nothing to spew you except some auld-world works ; heaps of ancient British and Danish skulls, assorted ; the Gothic window, from which Heary Brougham, Esq. addresses the free and independent electors of this ancient Borough ; fine fat marshes, covered with fine fat peripatetic mutton; a church steeple like a nest of extinguishers one a top of 'tother ; beds of mud ; and here and there a melancholy non-preventive preventive-service man. But at Hastings you have every thing that the heart of a man, with SO KIVU in his pocket, and a fortnight's leisure before him, can reasonably desire—a fine expanse of sea, a clean and very pretty town, interspersed with terraces and gardens, and stately trees, surrounded by an amphi theatre of venerable cliffs, and sweetly swelling hills, abounding in beautiful walks acrd rides; witness the fish ponds and dripping well Where in cool pet and mossy eel, The rural Faye and fairies dwell; and where bevies of fair dames sit in the shade of am ple sycamore, cracking filberts with their gentle teeth, and singing a Home, sweet home r until the woods echo again ; and the Dryads and Hamadryads wish themselves marriageable Gentlemen for their sakes, and the little girls of the party clap their hands with de light. (May the home of the Lady I heard singing there last Saturday afternoon be a blessed one !—and may the cracking of filberts never give her the tooth ache !)-t—Witness also, Fairlight Glen; and the cascade y'cleped the " Old Roar!" and Cove Hurst, with its tree-crowned cliffs, and rich underwood fringing the ocean foam; and the Castles of Hastings, and Pe , vensey, and Bartel Abbey, and many other beauties,. natural and artificial, too numerous to be here set down. Then for boarding houses, and lodging houses, and libraries, sad a Marine Parade, Hastings is second to none ; and her company is polite as well as " genteel ; and her pleasure boats are admirable, and their owners civil, intelligent, reasonable in their demands, and as good seamen as any in the world. Her markets abound with " creature comforts" of the best; and her perm. neat inhabitants, rich as well-as poor, generally speak ing, are quiet, unassuming, and respectable_ She has her praise. Now mark a spot or too, Which so much beauty would do well tomcod. " It is not seemly, nor of good report," that her bathing machines are devoid of awnings; and in that particular she might take a lesson even from Margate. A Correspondent at Dieppe is much scandalised at the mode of bathing there; but at Hastings they are not a jot more delicate, though their mode is not the same. The beach is steep and shingly, so that the machines cannot be drawn out into the sea at various distances; but they are let down side by side, close to gether, and all of a row ;—and out of one pops a Gen tleman, and out of the other the bathing women haul a Lady ; and so on through the whole line; and there they are ducking and diving, and kicking and plunging in very innocent sociality—to the very great amusement of the idlers and preventive service men who line the beach ! It is true the Ladies wear bathing dresses ; but the Gentlemen do not ;—they plunge boldly out, in pais naturalihus ; and there certainly is a great lack of decency in the exhibition ; however the exhibitors may think to qualify it by the old commodious " he ti soit qui teal y pease f' If the bathing machine proprietors cannot afford awnings, no good reason can be rendered why the Gentlemen should not bathe at one part of the beach, and the Ladies at another. There has often been a great outcry against"finishingaeminaries i" but a fashionable watering place flushes' young Maidens much more completely. Then the parade;—" the parade," quoth the Hastings Guide—" is considered one of the best promenades on any part of the coast ;" and an inscription on one of the lampposts informs the stranger that it was completed " by the voluntary contributions of the visitors, by per-. mission of the Corporation." Certainly it is a fine prome nade, and it was very kind of the Corporation to permit the visitors to improve the town by making it; but since it is made, it is a pity it is not swept and sprinkled oc casionally ;—and why should the - boarding-house keepers shake their carpets alongside of it? The Lady visitors make wry faces enough to keep the sun out of -their eyes, without having to guard against the dust also. Perhaps the Corporation would be kind enough to permit the visitors to sweep and sprinkle it at their own expense; and if so, no doubt a notice stuck up to that effect would be immediately attended to by the visitors; for Hastings is very full of them—noble, gentle, , and simple; as may readily be supposed, by their giving from ten to eighteen guineas a week for houses to hide their heads in. Fish ofal, too, is an awkward appendage to a fashionable promenade; and perhaps the Corpo ration would condescend to direct that the fishermen shall keep it to themselves, at their own end of the beach, instead of scattering it abroad as they now do. I would also recommend the waiters at the hotels to keep larger glasses for soda -water; and if that is not possible, let them keep a spare cork in their pockets, instead of stop ping the bottle with a blaut and redinger : and it would not be amiss if some of them used vie hair-Intsh less, and the soap more ; but above all things I, would re commend them to remember that they are waiters, and that, as Sir Richad Litt nie says, civility is a nice com modity ;—it costs nothing—it is easily carried; and it is !Aire to find its reward. The proprietors of the hotels, too, would do well to see that they have cooks and bar maids who understand their business;—which they may well afford to do, seeing that they get four shiHrags for A mutton chop or two, seven shillings for a bottle of port, and two shillings for a sixpenny glass of brandy and water. Thaw matters, and a few others well amended, wW make Hut ings a much pleason4r place for spendine money in than it is at present ; and if she does amend them, I hope she may never be in. freseil with blaek-legs and demireps, like Ikishton; nor with swarms of tan-sllppered talkative cockneys, like Margate; nor with cues give rtoli ms towns gentility, like Ramegate; but contiuue to reap a fair and handsome profit from the rational aad polite. The Valetudinarian' bout that the way to " take p sew least efomis lye" is to go to Grows end. • THE POOR WEAVERS. The wages at present given for weaving are utterly insufficient to aford barely fond to the weaver and his familt. The man that makes the mule—the spinner, who konverts the cotton into yarn--the warper, who prepare, it for the weaver—the bleacher, who receives it from the weaver, and prepares it for the printer—rand the latter, who rend'rs it fit for Ladies' wear,—all these are paid for their labour, some two, others three, others four, and some even five times as much. as the poor weaver, tvho in fact has the most laborious and un healthy part of the whole process to perform. The present distressed appearance of this useftr; body of men is but ton aptly described in the folios. g lines, taken from an old book, called Popular Opinions : " See the poor weaver, ghastly, lank and pale, Redue'd by sale, oak wart and water-kail; Like piper's bap hang down his thread-bare ?reeks, And deep indented are his lantern cheeks ; Demure and grim, dress'd like a scare-craw bogie; I'll on him shortly mak' this single stricture, He wed may sit for Famine's kauard piastre !" POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Saturday, Frederick Justice Latham, and a young man of respect able connections, named Saglam, the former an apprentice in the house of Mr. It. Warner, a wholesale grocer in Reod-lane, the latter prisoner a clerk in the Ordnance OMce, Tower, were brought up for a second examination. The prisoner Latham had some time since become acquainted with Singleton, who was his superior in rank, and they became companions during the evenings, after business. On Wednesday, the 13th inst. Singleton suddenly disappeared from his lodgings, and absented himself from his vice In the Tower without leave. On Thursday be was proved to have been at the French Ambassa dor's to procure a passport, and there was reason to suppose that Latham was with hint in the course of the same day. On Friday, at Mr. Warner's, it was the duty of Lathan to take a sum of money and pay some duties with it at the Custom House. The money was kept in a drawer of a desk belonging to the aim, and be bad access to it. He took out the sum required to pay the duties, and also about 1501. beyond that, amounting in the while to 7504 or thereabouts. One portion of the money consisted of a chetque for 1731. 17s. 4d. upon the Bank of England, which be received. He paid no duties, and absconded with the whole amount. He took no clothes from home, and it was proved that be and Singleton were together that day, at the West-end of the town, making par. chases of wearing apparel, of which neither before had any stock. Singleton got a passport for France in his own name. Latham got one in the name of Johnson that day. In the evening they were seen together at the Hyde Park Coffee House, and Singleton paid for refreshments, and at the same time dis played a large roll of notes. They took a post-chaise, and set off from thence to Dartford. At the Inn where they stopped, at the latter place, Singleton paid for some refreshments with a ten i pound note, which note was proved to be the property of Mr. Warner. In the mean time, Mr. Warner,suspecthig that Latham bad absconded, promptly dispatched one servant to Liverpool, another to Dover, and concerted measures to have a watch upon other places, where it was thought the prisoner might embark. On the Saturday morning, the servant sent to Dover was walking on the pier, when he met with Latham, whom he immediately apprehended and searched. He found upon him about £550 of the money taken from Mr. Warner, and brought him to town. Oo the same night, Singleton arrived in town, and wrote a note to a young man, re questing to know where Mr. Warner lived; and in the course of Sunday went to him, and gave up to him .570, representing that be bad been told by Latham, that he (Latham) had received a legacy, and was desirous of taking a trip to France. and wished his friend Singleton to accompany him. The latter did not refuse; but, finding grouad to suspect the truth, he had returned to re store the money. Mr. Warner did not believe this statement, and soon after gave him in custody as an accessory to the robbery or embezzlement, whichever it might turn out to be. ' • The Loan MAYOR said, that with respect to the law of the ease, be bad consulted the City Solicitor, and he was of opinion that it was requisite to shew that Singleton had cognizance of thelact at the time it was committed, in order to prove him to have been an accessory ; but his Lordship considered that the offence was created, net by changing the checque, or taking the money out of the desk (which the prisoner was authorised to do), but in Converting it to his own use; and at present his Lordship thought there was reason to suspect that Singleton had a guilty knowledge of that fact. ' Mr. Power requested that the case might be remanded, as he bad evidence coming from Dover, to show that Singleton there made use of an assumed name, and was made aware of his compa nion's apprehension before he returned. The Loan Karon remanded the prisoners for further examina tion. There was a crowd of friends in attendance on both sides. GUILDHALL A Lieutenant of the Navy, seemingly u hair-brained a young blide as ever stepped on ship board, was charged with hiring a hack ney coach, without having a suMcient stock of cult to pay his fare. For riding in a cab, from Holborn to the Old Bailey, be generously gave the driver Xs. and a glass of gin and water. He then hired the complainant's coach, which he ordered to Hoiloeray-gate, where be said some relative lived ; but when begot there, he felt an overpow ering reluctance to arouse his friends, at so unseasonable an hour as two in the morning, end therefore desired Artery to drive him about until breakfast. The latter, however, wished to see the colour of his mooey, before he commenced upon this roving commission; and as it was not forthcoming, he drove him back to the watering h ouse, in the Old Bailey, and from thence to the derkey. Mr. Alderman Ammar asked him what he had to my for himself? The defendant, who was evidently very drunk, exclaimed, " In stead of driving me, my Lord, why d—n me, I drove him. 'Twas 1 steered the horses ; he was too drunk." Mr. Alderman Amstar mid, he must certainly have been too drunk himself, at that time, to tell whether anybody else was drunk or sober. He dared - to my, from the button be wore ' be had no ides of bilking the man, and be had, therefore, better retire and settle it. " Ak, but," replied the drunken Lieutenant, "1 have no blunt. I bad four sovereigns last night, but it is all gone now." This appearing to be the fact, the Alderman eventually took his addeoss privately, and dismissed him, upon his undertaking to send the coachman his demand, Ss. advising him to bring out less cask in kis locker when he nest set forth upon his adventures. HATTON GARDEN. Saturday. .M* Maratail was charged by Mr. Joseph Hedger, Engineer, of Burton.crescent, with stealing from his mant.factory, a quantity of safety-valve weights.—'Remanded. _ . Jolns Prnus was charged with brutally beating a poor old Idah woman, in White's-yard, Cow-cross, on the 19th inst. The prisoner, who was on the point of being passed to her own country, had called at the prisoner's house, late In the evening, to see ber son previous to her departure; and having been reftued ad mission, and repeatedly desired to go away, which she would not do, lion fell upon her, and beat her in such a ferocious manner about the bead, that hardly a feature resembled those of a human being.—Ordered to find good bail. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Maria Bettie's/sin a Jewess and woman of the town, was brought op on Siturday be f ore Mr. Dvaa for rubbing Mrs. ordon, whom she met ill in the street,and took to her lodging by proffered kindness. Ellen Gordon, 16, Alfred-place Newington-causeway, widow, deposed that last Sunday evening, between ten and eleven at night, she was taken ill iu Leicester.square, and was holding by the iron rails when the prisoner, of whom she bad a pardal knowledge by having seen her once about twelve months since, came up and offered the accommodation of a night's lodging, which witness, having no money to get a coach, accepted. Witness slept with her that night, and being asked in the morning for money, witness gave her permission to pledge her lace cap for three shillings, the prisoner telling her that she would get half a yard of muslin and make up a cap that would serve till she got home. At this time witness was in bed, still ill ; the prisoner gave her some warm gin and water, and witness went to sleep, having had little rest in the night. In about half an hour witness awoke, found the prisoner absent, and that her pelisse, petticoat, and bonnet, had been taken away.— Witness waited till the evening, thinking the prisoner would return, and then went heme; but saw no more of her till Tuesday evening, when witness met her in the street with her bonnet. on her. Wit ness called the watchman and gave her in custody._ Witness valued her things at !l. The prisoner said Mrs. Gorden gave her leave to pledge the pe lisse. The bonnet she meant to bring bask, but having gat tipy, she forgot it.

Saturday, immediately after Mr. BALLANTINS entered the OILY, one of the officers handed him a written communication trout a body of operative shipwrights, who were waiting outside ; Mr. /LI. biotin, desired that they should be admitted. Mt their entering the office, they handed Mr. Ballaotine a memorial, which they said the intended to present to his Majesty's Attorney General. and upon which they were anxious to have Mr. 13allatitine's opinion as to its propriety. Mr. Bat.i.aNtius returned them the memorial, sod said that he bad nothing whatever to do with it. It appeared to him that they I lately bad been in the employment of Mr. Tebbut, and fur leaving their work Tebbut had brought them there spat a warrant. Whether there might be any blame attached to them, he would not nay . ; but the Gentleman who had heard the ease dismissed it, as not coming within * clause of the Act of Parliament, therefore the inference was that they were not guilty of leaving heir work. Under the particular circumstances, he was sorry that two, three, four, or five shipbuilders had refused them work. However, Tebbut, by send ing round circular letters Vise bad done so) to prevent them getting. work, had done that which Was highly improper, and he hat! good reason to think it was illegal; but he begged that any observations of his should not regulate their conduct ; they might present their petition to whomsoever they choose. He was no party to it, neither should he give an opinion upon it one way or another; but he shoeld observe, that if masters formed a combination for any other purposes than those for regulating their trade, he should say that they were setting the men a very bad tannish ; and, on the other hand, should any body of men refuse to work for any particular master, of courser his yard would remain idle, and such conduct would be highly re prehensible ; but he trusted that a better feeling would regulate their conduct than to follow the example which bad been set, and which deserved the greatest reprehension, and should any reference be made to him on the ssbjett, he should not hesitate to repeat thaw observations. The men said that they had never teen able to get any work, owing to the circulars ot Mr. Tebbut, and their families were in the most deplorable condition possible, so much so, tbat souse al them were obliged to appiy to the pathis for relief. Mr. BAs Laystua having expressed much commisei situation, they thanked him / and then left the olice. for dieir A beautiful piece of native gold, weighing nearly ten ounces, was lately found in the town of Newlane Vermont. It was picked up by a boy near a small brook, and was r , udded with crystals of quartz. EMIGRATION.—A . 611011 time since an emigration society, consisting of about thirty-sic families, was established in one of the parishes of Glasgow. This society, on the Ist instant, forwarded a petition to his MAJESTY, in which they stated, that being chiefly em• ployed in the cotton mannfactuie, the present depression of trade has brought them to'she verge 01 misery; that had it not been for the assistance they received from his Mmitirres munificent donation, aided by the sub scriptions of•the charitable in. the city, they must have been left to starve. That they considered etnigrcioa as the best means of,relieviog their distress, and there fore humbly prayed that hie MAJESTY would be gra ciously pleased to send them, at the national ezpense, to Canada, and provide them with land and such other assistance there as would etrable them to make a com fortable settlement. The statement of their distressed condition was certified by the fifinisteri of the prri,h, and addressed to the Secretary of State for the Home Department.
