The Repbrt of the first AgriCulttiril Com mittee wai a comp lete humbug ; and although he had not seen the new Report. he believed it was, like the last, tk humbug! The sole object of the former was to say nothing—to throw dust in the eyes of the People. The expectations of economy and retrenchment had been disappointed: a reduction of Is. per bushel on Malt, and 10 per cent. on the salaries of Ministers, was all the relief afforded. One Minister says, the distress arises from excess of produce, and the only remedy is time and patience—another says, a re duction of taxation would increase the evil. How long shall the country be insulted by such language? His Grace 'alluded to the two Postmasters-General, and compared them to the two labourers who were helping each other to do nothing. Their salaries ought to be saved. They were both respectable men, but was this a time when such persons should •draw their increased incomes from the sweat and labour cif the People, whose diminished comforts of life called upon us to abolish these unnecessary salaries? 4g By HEAVEN r said the Noble Duke, quoting Shakspeare in a very emphatic manner, gg I had rather coin my heart, and drop my blood for drachms, than to wring from the hard h tads of peasants their vile trash by any indirection !"—(Loud chars). The Meeting was then addressed, at considerable length, by the Rev. F. H. NIABEItLY, Mr. Paysix, Mr. l-lowaLL, Mr. F. K. EAGLE, Mr. S. P. BEA LES, Mr. JOUN FORDIIAM, Mr. GuNNIxo, and Mr. E.

Wednesday. a Meeting of the Freeholders and In ligiiitants of the County of Huntingdon took place in the Shire Hall 4 pursuant to advertisement, in order to address Parliament on the present alarming state el Agricultural Distress, and to petition for a Reform in the House of Common:. The High Sheriff, C. PFMBERTON. Esq. was in the Chair. HAMMOND addressed the Meeting at consider able leigth on the objects for which they were as sembled, and concluded by promising a series of Re solutions to the effect that Agriculture, the great source of national wealth, was in a Jewesses' state— that the farmers were in such distress that they could ap ! srehend nothing but ruin to themselves and fami lies. unless some effectual remedy he speedily ap. lied. That the source of this misery, by which neither the landlords could receive a compensation for their land nor the farmers a remuneration for their labour and the employment of their capital, was in the abuse of the funding system, and in mortgaging the revenues of the country beyond its natural resources. That the only preventions of the like evils for the time to come ar e to be sought in ret,encbment and reform ; in a INluction of taxation, and a more equal representa eru of the People. A Petition, founded on these Resolutions, to the House of Commons, was then read, and both seconded by Mr. Treat° WiNo, and on being put to the vats, were both carried without a dissentient voice. M:. DAVID WELLS moved that the Petition be pre tinted to Parliament by the County Members. Nlr. MARGETTS, of Huntingdon, said be quite agreed iiith the sentiments of the Meeting as to the distressed state of agriculture, but be was sorry that Parliamentary Reform was n:entioned in the Petition. Several other Gentlemen addressed the Meeting, after which it was dissolved. CAMBRIDGE COUNTY MEETING. Thursday, pursuant to a Requisition to the Ilion Siinntrr, a Meeting of the Freeholders and Inhabit ants cf this County was held, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of again peti tioning for a Reform in the Commons House of Par liament, as the most effectual means of relieving the preseia agricultural distress, and s. curing the future prosperity of the kingdom. The HMI. SHERIFF having opened the business of the day, J. D. MERELST, Esq. came forward and addressed the Meeting. With regard to agricultural distress, he said, it was unnecessary to say a word—the tenantry were reduced to ruin—the yeomanry, the pride of their country, were fast sinking to poverty—and the labourer reduced from comparative affluence to ab ject beggary ; and, lastly, the impoverished landlord was obliged to resort to his capital to keep up ap pearances. He ridiculed the idea that distress was occasioned by over-production, and that the only rd of to be looked to was in the sterility cf the land. Ile allude,: to the Agricultural Report, just printed, and declined his opinion that a greater mass of de. lusion had never before been set forth—(Hear, hear). It was only by the reduction of taxation proportionate to the loss pi ice of corn, that effectual relief could be afforded. It was asked then, how could the public creditor be t .aid ? He would answer, by a reduction cf . the Civil List, places, pensions, &c. and he denied that there was any necessity for a breach of faith with the lundholder until these remedies had been tried. A Reform in the House of Commons he deemed essential, and hoped to see the day when Re form would triumph over Ministei ial corruption, and that the House of Commons would become the guar dian of the rights and liberties of the people, in- stead of a machine to extort money out of the pockets of an impoverished and overburdened people. Ile concluded by proposing a series of Resolutions, declaring that the situation of the People was too melancholy to be longer endured in silence by men who di i not wish to become accessaries to their own ruin and degradation. That the main cause of the distress was in an exorbitant taxation ; and that the removal of a large portion of the public burdens was the only effectual relief; and that a reformed House of Commons was the only security against that system of misgovernment which had nearly overwhelmed all classes of society in one common ruin. The Rev. G. A. BROWNE supported the Resolu tions. He said, formerly the danger to the liberties of Englishmen was in the unbounded limits of the Royal prerogative; but the danger now to be appre. hended was from another power, a power which for years had been growing with the growth, strengthen-1 ing with the strength, of our debt and taxes, and of which we might say, in the language of the Poet, A pigmy once, but now of giant size, " It stalks on earth, and towers to the skies !" To curtail this influence, by the diminution of place tnen, and by a Reform iii the House of Commons, ought to be the object of all Public Meetings. A vi gilant and independent Parliament would teach mo desty to the bold, and caution to the rash—would make the incompetent shi ink from the acceptance of office, and would awe knaves into honesty. The Duke of BEDFORD he had waited to see whether any Gentleman would appear to oppose the Resolutions. He had not been in the habit of attend. ing Meetings in this county, but he tholight it his duty to attend this, and urge a Petition for Reform, without which there was no salvation for the country. His 4, 1 ,1,,t)11 was not founded on slight grounds t lie had sat thilty-four years in Parliament, and his ex perience convinced him of the necessity of it. Asti- NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Extract of a letter from Lloyd's Agent at Gibraltar, dated the 14th ult.—" The Heroine, Buenos Ayrean corvette washed out of the New Mole on the 12th inst. is now anchored in the bay, and ready for sea."

Fortunately these men had got Into the boat, which was driven from the vessel before the remainder of the crew could get in; but it is supposed that they were saved, as a cutter and four or five boats were bearing towards her. She was then under water. FALMOUTH, Aram 3.—Wind North.—Arrived, the Active, Mette, from Ipswich for Liverpool, with loss of anchor and cable. Sailed, the Prince Regent, Homy for Lisbon.

The Cape Town Gazelle (Cape of Good Hope) of the 12th of January announces, that " Mr. WILLIAM JONES is appointed to the office of Surveyor of Go vernment Buildings, in the room of Mr. MELVILLE, resigned." This WILLIAM JONES is no other than the noted Oliver, the Spy, whose services are here re warded with a place, neatly a sinecure, producing, as we are informed, little short of five hundred pounds per annum. This, too, is in addition to emoluments arising from two other places, scarcely of inferior amount. Oliver's pseuelonyne has long ceased to conceal him from the inhabitants, who are more than anxious to be rid of his society—thinking, perhaps, that there is another English colony towards the South, in which he has more legitimate claims to a settlement. Hints are given, placards on the walls intimate the public feeling freely, but the power Of the Government is such that no one dares speak openly 1 Mr. Oliver, alias Jones, appears therefore with an unblushing forehead, and preserves his acquisition by the same effrontery with which he originally gained it. .. . iii,licbri , , ,iiiihi • We regret iti date, St the Lords of the 'l'.

' A Court of Aldermets was I eld yesterday at thk Guildhall, when the LORD MAYOR declared The r Mc* • of Ilecorder vacant by the decease of Sir Joni. Sit,- vest:zit, Bart. and it was resolved that t: a office should be filled up at the next Court, and the Loan MAYOR was requested to convene one on an early day for that purpose; whereupon his Lordship ap pointed Wednesday, the 10th inst. accordinglyi A very just opinion seemed to preirall among no inetni siderable portion of the Aldertrien, is to the high duties of the office of Recorder ; and several of thole who considered themselves personally pledged to Mr. KNOWLYS, readily admitted the principle, that the vacancy ought to be filled up by the best car , [date, rather than by the one who happened to stand next in rotation. A long , conversation, tondu. ted with great temper, ensued, and the result was, an under standing that Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH will be on in nomination, and will be very respectably supportee. There seems to be some doubt as to the authority by which the appoiuttneht of Recorder of L *don originally became invested in the Court of Aide, - ta. A Correspondent suggests, that the appointment re gularly belongs to the Court of Common em.,,cd, as the Representative Body of the Citizens iit lar. e; for upon reference to the Charter of Hen., 1, tr is di rected—" Quod ipsi cives pouent ju,ticiafum patens voluerint de seipsss, ad custodiendunt pl alto (oronee, et ',alas alius efitjusticazi ius super ipsoa howines Lou doikethat the Citizens may appoint irom ~Mo g theme sel'ies such a Justice as they w , ll to keep the pleas of the Crown, and that no other shall be Justice over t' e men of London. Nov, according:to the Grand Cnstumiet of Nor mandy, quoted by Minshew, it appears that those who were necessary Judges in the Duke of Nor mandy's Courts were called Recorders, and they had the power to make a record. A Recorder is one whom the Mayor, or other Magistrate of any city or town corporate, having jurisdiction or a Court of Record within their precincts, by the King's grant, sloth associate unto him, for his better direction in matters of justice and proceedings according to law. —The Recorder of London is one of the Justices of Oyer and Terminer, and, by charter of Charles the Second, is a Justice of the Peace of the quorum, for putting the laws in execution for preservation of the peace and government of the City. Henry the First was the son of William the ('onqueror,who intro. duced the Norman law into this kingdom, and there is no doubt that the Justice mentioned in the abovechar ter was the Recorder. This important patronage ought therefore to be exercised by the Court of Common Council, as representing the Cititens of London, to whom it was originally given. There is at Came: ton, near Bath, a heap of earth, which has been on file many months, in consequence of burning coke on the ground, in•tead of using kilns; and it has been found very difficult to extinguish it.

ROYAL MARRIACIL—CAROLINA, the Crown Prin cess of DENMARK, was born on the 23th of October, 1793. As the youngest of the eight children, with which her mother, who was born on the 28th of October, 1767, has presented her husband, is now 11. years of age, it is very improbable that any male PEDESTRIANISM issue from this marriage will distuib the succession After the great trotting match, a countryman of the name of of the CROWN PRINCESS to the Throne of Denmark, Clarkson, undertook, for 100 guineas, to run ten miles over the which descends to females as well as males.

N HALFOILD'S MATCH. ST. 1 9 to I apt Swap (taken) la to 1 apt Ajax RENEWAL OF CAPTA: This Match, for the Captain's horse to trot seventeen miles, for 200 guineas, was renewed yesterday, and the failure on Mon day last gave it additional interest. The horse upon that occa sion did eight miles and a half, with eleven stone upon his back, within half an hour; but being pushed to do the seventeen miles within an hour, the match was lost by 13 seconds, and it led to the present one, the backers of time thinking too much had been taken' out of the horse to complete the 11 miles so soon after.-- The ground over which the horse trotted was two miles of the same as he performed on Monday, on the Bury-road. He carried eleven stone in the former half-hour race, and ten stone in the hour race; and in this instance he carried ten stone and a half, and did each two miles as follows : min. sec. min. sec. First two miles 6 18 I Sixth two miles 7 54 Second ditto 7 10 Seventh two miles 6 54 Third ditto 6 26 Eighth two miles 6 58 Fourth ditto 6 I Seventeenth mile 3 40 Fifth ditto 6 54 58 56 Betting was even at starting, and six to four on time after the horse broke into a gallop isk the fourth mile, and had to turn. lie also broke in tho eleventh mile • but he won the race easy at last.
