Friday, the Earl of SOMERS, the Lord Lieutenant of the County of Hereford, convened a Meeting of that County, alter the HIGH SHERIFF had refused it, in obedience to the following ltequisition : " We, the undersigned, request you to call a County Meeting, fbr the purposes of taking into consideration the propriety of representing to both Houses of I'arliame•nt the unparalleled and daily increasing distress of the Agricultural Interest of the County, and the several causes thereof; of petitioning them to adopt such measures as they, in their wisdom, may deem best calculated for its relief; and of expressing to then our appre hensions of the awful consequences of farther delay, in affording aid in difficulties so overwhelming." At eleven o'clock, the Earl of Somens, who agreed to preside on the occasion, came into the Town-hall of Hereford, accompanied by the principal Gentry of the County, and a large multitude of Farmers, &c. Mr. COBBETT and two other Gentlemen were also in the throng ; they succeeded in obtaining a place on. the elevated part of the Hall, where the principal personages were situated. The business of the day was opened by the Clerk of the Peace for Herefordshire reading the above Requisition. The Earl of SOMERS then came forward, and ad verted generally to the prevailing Agricultural Dis tress, and the necessity of appealing to the Legisla ture for relief. He strongly inculcated the necessity of unanimity, and recommended the Meeting to dis . card from among them any person or persons who t tprared disposed to divert their attention from the `.'etrtct business of the day—namely, Agricultural Re lief ; whosoever attempted to do so, they may be sure y►tls no real friend to their interest. Mr. PATMORE then came forward, and' proposed, after a few prefatory observations, the following Re solutions, which were seconded by Sir HoNosturoaro liosivos : " That it is the opinion of this Meeting, that the Agricultural .. . .1 , 1 • oilisi . . s• • 1 Interests of the Country sr* MMP time In a state of umlaut- attend a similar Meeting, Unless, indeed, I -should pled depression pull dietress... - , ' - feel apprehensive of being called an itineraat ,politil •` That such depression sod . &stress way, amongst other •ran. ,, He would flo so to oppose those who have and causes, be attributed us the sodden return to cash payments, and c to an- excessive over-proportion of public bUrdens pressin g do support the disgraceful. and disgusting measures upon land. which characterise the Legislature of this country.

The Note of Itussia,.Which is first in point of precedence as it is in the order of iniquity, is the false and special pleading of a,petti fogging Monarchical Attorney,•who wishes to pro. : yoke a quarrel among his neighbours. The malice of such an object might be forgives., did we not see in it a determined opposition to even, liberal institution—a broad avowal in favour of unk vernal despotism. Denying, as we do, the tight of any Power to interfere with the internal policy of Spain, or of any nation, it can scarcely be necessary to enter into a formal refutation of charges again", Spain, the falsehood of which is known to all Europs,', Russia, in the Note, asserts that the King of Snit" . vas in personal danger, and that his brothels west, threatened with the dungeon or the axe. Now the ; truth is, that in no part. of Europe is the attachment to the Royal Family stronger than it is in Spain., h is well known that the brothers of the Kteo were conspiring in the Palace against the Constita dad, and were ready to make the KING the mere Punch of the puppet-shew, while they directed the Wires behind the curtain; yet they have been treated with the utmost lenity, and the Kin: has been pat under no other restraint than that of keeping•hint from the machinations of men who, by their acts, would involve him in certain ruin. Another charge against the Spanish Constitu. tionalists, in the Russian Note, is equally untrue. In a neighbouring country," it says, « they strove . with unremitting perseverance to encourage tumults and rebellion. In more distant States they laboured to create accomplices; the activity of their proselytism was everywhere felt; and everywhere it produced the same disasters."
