CAURRIDOE COUNTY MEETING.-A numerous and highly-respectable Meeting of the Freeholders and In habitants of Cambridge was held on Thursday, par suant to a Requisition to the High Sheriff, " to take into consideration the present disa'trous state of the agricultural interest, and the propriety of petitioning - Parliament for relief." Mr. PRYISE moved Resolu tions for a Petition to Parliament for relief. The Rev. G. A. BROWNE doubted the expediency of a Petition without some mention of a reform. Mr. F. K. EAGLE, after a short address, moved, as an Amendment to the original Resolutions :•4 4 That from what has taken place during the present and preteiling Sessions, it is the firm and decided opinion of this Meeting, that any Petition to the Lower House of Parliament, as at present constituted, for relief from the difficulties under which the nation is sink• ing, would be entirely vain and fruitless." Mr. SA ,SIUEL WELLS seconded the Amendment. Mr. BEALS read a letter written by the Duke of BEDFORD, in which the Noble Duke declared that it was useless to Peti tion the House of Commons, us it now is constituted, for their Petitions were year after year disregarded, and thrown aside as waste paper. The limn SHERIFF put the Amendment, which was carried by a consi derable majority, consequently the Resolutions for a Petition fell to the ground. Thanks were voted to the HIGH SIIERIFF, who returned his acknowledgments;" after which the Meeting was dissolved. A similar Meeting of the Owners and Occupiers of Land in the North Level of the Fens (a large dis trict comprising a part of 'the Counties of Cambridge, Lincoln, and Northampton), was held on the 28th ult. at Thorney, in the Ise of Ely, " to take into con sideration the measures proposed by his Majesty's Ministers for the relief of agricultural distress, and the propriety of petitioning Parliament for more ef ficient remedies." The Meeting was attended by Lord MILTON, Sir CHARLES WENTWORTH, and most of the resident owners of estates, as well as by a very nu merous and respectable body of occupiers, when a Petition to the House of Commons was unanimously agreed to, stating, that the Petitioners " are in a state of very severe distress ; that a reduction of one shil, ling a bushel in the duty on malt is a measure too trifling to be considered as a remedy for the evil it admits to exist; that their present embarrassments are not caused by low prices, but by taxation ex cessive in proportion to those prices." The Petitioners prayed for an extensive and immediate reduction of taxes, and for a real, impartial, and unsparing re trenchment in every department of the public expen diture; but above all, as the extravagance of Minis ters had been sanctioned by majorities of the House of Commons, for a more full, fair, and equal Re presentation." An Official Return to an order of the House of Commons states th• quantity of Gold taken into his Majesty's Mint front the Ist of January, 1815, to the Ist '.l January, 1822, at 4121b5. 6930e5. sdrs.

An Official Return to an order of the House of Commons of all Pen/duns granted out of the Civil list of Scotland from the 204 h of lune, 181:0, to the 20th of June, 11321, states-.-To M'Neil, widow.

A similar °Send Return states the annual expense of the ?la. dotal Vaccine Eatabildnuent at AMC. Mr. MABERLEY, seeing the lion. Secretary to the Trea sury in his place, said he was anxious to submit a motion to the House, respecting tne extraordinary differences in the statements of the accounts of the public expondituge He was anxious that those differences should be reconciled, fir order that the House might be fully informed on this important subject, and that he should be enabled to bring on his motion for inquiry into the state of the Public Accounts, which stands for the 14th of March, in a competent manner. In the official papers which had been presented there were-the most glaring inconsistencies, rdld he believed that there never was such a variation exhibited in any other public accounts as in those he referred to. The papers laid on the table by a Noble Marquis, and the Accounts of the Revenue, differed most essentially. lie was anxious that these differences should be explained, for the satisfaction of the House, as well as for his own. The Hon. Member concluded by moving, that the differences which exist in the Public Expen diture Accounts be reconciled forthwith; and he read a series of Resolutions, detailing the differences to which he alluded. Mr. LUSHINGTON said he never was present in the llouse at a proceeding similar to the present ; the regular custom was, that the Hon. Gentleman should give a notice of motion, and not call on the House to agree on the instant to such Resolutions. Mr. M A.BERLEY was anxious for the immediate attention of the House, as his object was to be fully prepared for big mo tion on the 14th of March. The information he sought for could not be considered as partial to himself. He saw public documents differing in the most glaring manner, and wished to have that inconsistency explained. He might et wrong in the inferences he had made; the hon. Gentleman opposite might be perfectly in the right. He wished to be convinced of his errors by correct documents, and not be allowed, from erroneous papers, to form false opinions. He desired that the House should dis cuss his motion possessed of the fullest information from Parlia mentary documents, and not from those of a doubtful nature. Mr. PETER MOORE supported the motion of his lion. Friend, on the ground that the House should distinctly under stand the papers and accounts laid on the table, and have their 'apparent differences settled before the discussion of the 14th ; and if the House should refuse the present motion, it might be said that these papers could not be granted by the House, but were only to be produced at the beck of Ministers. Mr. S fURGES BOURNE opposed the motion,because the series of Resolutions proposed by the Hon. Member not only detailed the differences in the accounts, but assumed certain facts to which he could not agree. If he bad moved for an ex planation solely, the House could not object to have granted it ; but to agree to the present Resolutions would pledge the House to the various facts which the lion. Member assumed, and which he (Mr. S. Bourne), for one, could not admit. - Mr. M A BERLEY again rose to state, that he had no objec tion to embody his Resolutions, and to move them under one general head, that the differences existing in the Finance and Public Expenditure Accounts be reconciled. He would give one instance of extraordinary variance. There was a difference of /25,000 in the accounts of the Revenue and the papers he re ferred to. The Public Expenditure Accounts stated the amount to be greater than the Revenue Accounts by so large a sum as £25,000. lie had official documents to found his assertions on ; and the paper he then held was signed " C. Arbuthnot." Ile could not consider it unreasonable to have so great a variance explained. Mr. HUME supported the motion, and pointed out, in other public documents, differences, to prove the necessity of granting the explanation now required. A conversation then took pace between Mr. Lunn - wren and Mr. BIABERLTY, and the Resolutions were withdrawn, on the understanding'that the explanation sought for should be granted. Mr. CANNING presented a Petition from the Merchants and others at Liverpool, holders of foreign grain now ware housed, complaining of suffering, and praying for relief ; which Petition he moved, should be referred to the consideration. of the Agricultural Committee. Mr. HUME did expect that the lion. Member for Liver pool, on presenting such a Petition as the present, would offer some observations on the nature and extent of the grievance , complained of. lie agreed that the Petitioners had a strong claim on the consideration of the House. He asked the House to recollect that the prohibition against the consumption of fo reign grain remained until the average price of wheat was more than cos. the quarter; Nit the change in the value of the cur rency raised the prohibition now in fact to 83s. or 84s. and the importers of foreign corn who had put it into warehouse, ex pecting to bring it out for consumption when the price came to 801. art now, through the operation of Mr. Peel's Bill and the altered state of the currency, deprived of that expectation, and placed in a situation of peculiar difficulty. Mr. CANNING was much obliged`to the Hon. Gentleman for the kind advice he had given him as to theemode of present ing a Petition, and the observations with which he should have accompanied it. The Petition was put into his hands with a wish that it should be referred to the Agricultural Committee. He had moved that it shouldbe so referred, and he did not think that to be the proper moment for any observations front him.— When the Report of that Committee should be made to the House, and when he should see its opinions on the general me rits of the question 'and on the Petition he had presented, he should then pursue the course he thought most consistent with his duty to his constituents, to the House, and to the country— ' (Bear, hear). MA LT DUTY. • Mr. GOOCH wished to ask the Right lion. Gentleman op posite a question. Ile was anxious to know if the Right lion. Gentleman had made any alteration as to the ls. duty on Malt, end whether any rensissiim or allowance was to be made to those who had a stock on hand? Tut CIIANCLUVR of the FACiIEQUBIi said, that POOR LAWS. Mr. SCAIILETT said that it was his intention on a future day, of wliich he would give notice, to bring in a Bill on the subject of the Poor Laws; but he would not hold himself pledged to prosecute it any farther, if Government carried into effect their proposed plan of giving a loan of fm,r millions tea parishes. If there was still a disposition with Government to advance that sum, it would render his plan nugatory. The Marquis of LONDON DElt n.y said he could not con tinue to give the Honourable and Learned Member encourage ment by his silence; and the Honourable and Learned . Member would forgive him for observing that he had not drawn a very correct inference from the circumstance he had mentioned. Mr. SCARLET' said that the attempt of Government to give any of the public money in the way proposed, wculd in it self be a measure of dangerous tendency. HENRY HUNT. Mr. Alderman WOOD rose to present a Petition from an individual with whose ca•a. the House was already acquainted, and he begged its attention while he referred to a recent cruelty exercised against Henry Hunt in lichester Jail. Ile did not wi ill to trouble the House at any length, and he thought he would best consult the interests of Mr. Ilunt, by say ing as little as he could consistently with his duty. That morning he received two letters relative to the cruelties which were practised against that indivi dual ; he thought such rigorous and harsh confine ment was exceeding the sentence pa,sed on him, and sheaved a disposition to treat him more severely than (alters who might have merited a heavier punishment. Ile thought it cruel to confine him sa "clo,ely and rigorously" as he himself described it. Mr. Hunt stated, that on entering the jail he was not even treated with the usual indulgence granted to other individuals confined under the sentence of the King's Bench. Ile would beg the attention of the House while he read some extracts from the letters he had received; in one of them it was stated "that Dr. Colston, one of the visiting Magistrates, discovered, on Thursday last, that Mr. Hunt had a small door which gave air to his apartment, though the sun did not shine on it for more than five months of the year, and the door had been left open by Mr. Hunt's pre decessor, yet on Dr. Colston 's discovering it, he or dered it to be immediately shut." But that was not half the cruelty exercised towards that individual ; it would be seen by the following extract from anot!ier letter, the extent of the cruelty to which he was sub jected—." His eyes were so seriously injured in con sequence of sitting up from five to twelve o'clock, that he was almost blind; a tumor contracted at the bottom of one of his eyes, in order to extract which he was obliged to submit to a very painful operation. He wished to have his son and ward to see and at tend him, but the Magistrates having learn'ed what was going forward, Hardy, the jailer, refu=sed them admittance, saying, that if he (Mr. Hum) was dying he could not admit them. Ilk surgeon ordered it constant application of cold water to his eyes, and certified the necessity of his being attended by a nurse, but the reply to his application for one was, that he might have one of the women convicts if he pleased. The key was turned on his apartment at six o'clock, and his son and ward were again refused admission; thus he,Was left alone blind in that state until five o'clock in the morning, and kept tinging the bell the greater part of the night, when at lenmh some warm water was brought him, but the door was again shut." He (Mr. Alderman Wood) ap pealed to the feelings of the House, if they would suffer an individual in that state to be treated with such hardship and cruelty. Hardy, the jailer, he admitted shewed every disposition to lessen the rigour of Mr. Hunt's confinement, but he was prevented by the Magistrates. (Mr. Alderman Wood) was shocked at the treatment used towards Mr. Hunt : he could not contemplate that any person confined for such an offence, should be so treated. He would not refer to the Report of the Commissioners until. the subject came before• the House; but he would obServe, 'that he had no doubt of the truth of Mr. Hunt's statements, because in all those he had made to him, on examination, he found them borne out 17 the facts. Hu was sorry that the Right Hon. Seem. tart' (Mr. Peel) was not in the House, as he hoped that he would . cause wore lenient measures to be used • : • . - • • - 7 .
