LSSI COUN T V MELT ING. In pursuance of a Requisition, addressed to the High Sheriff of the County of Essex, and subscribed with the names of 900 landowners and occupiers of laud 'within the County, the High Sbeliff (JOHN Jo• LITTe TUVFNELL, Esq.) convened a Meeting of the Nobility, Clergy, Gentry, and Freeholders of the County, to be held at the Shire Hall, Chelmsford, yesterday, at twelve o'clock, " to take into consider ation the distressed condition of the Farmers, and others dependent upon them, and the general de clining state of the Agriculture of the Country, in order to make such representations to the Le ,, isla• tun as the urgency of the case requires." The Requi sition on which this Meeting was called was signed by Charles Western, Esq. M.P. T. B. Lennard, Fag. M.P. W. P. Honywood, Esq. M.P. Nichelas Calvert, Esq. M.P. Sir T. IL Leonard, Bart. P. Wright, J. li. Powell, John Digney, C. T. Tower, Shelley Western, Emirs. and many other Gentle men s the first rank and respectability in.the County. The Meeting took place yesterday, and, consider. ing the snow which had fallen during the night of Wednesday, and continued to fall at Chelmsford eluting the whole of yesterday morning, was very numerously and respectably attended. A little after twelve 'o'clock, the High Sheriff entered the Hall, attended by some of the most respectable Gentry who had signed the Requisition, amongst whom were Mr. Western, M.P. Sir John Tyrrell, Sir T. R. Lennard, Colonel Bramstone, Mr. Leonard, M.P. Jr. Honywood, M.P. Messrs. Disney, Hinton, Tfiveer, Ilannury, Du Cane, Ste. The HIGH SHERIFF opened the business of the day by desiring the Under-Sheriff to read the Requisition and the Notice on which the Meeting had been con- , ,erred. The Under-Sheriff having read them, The HIGH &MUFF begged leave, before any Gen tleman proceeded to address the Meeting, to read to it a-letter:which he had just received from Sir E. Hervey, one of the Representatives of the County— ( Hear, Iteati.The Honourable Gentleman then read theletter in question, which stated, that though the writer was prevented from 'attending the Meeting by the recent death of his son, he was ready to give every practical assistance in his power, both in Parliament and out of Parliament, to restore the Landed Interest to its proper state and influence in the community. Mr. HINTON said, that lie should be as brief as possible in stating the reasons which had induced him, a yeoman, to come forward on the present oc casion, to propose to petition the Legislature to re consider the circumstances in which the agriculture of the country was now unfortunately placed. He should confine himself to the mete statement, that it was a fact impressed on the minds, and also on the pockets, of all whom he addressed, that all the enact ments which the Legislature had yet made for the relief of the agricultural interest were nugatory and inefficient. It was, therefore, their duty to state to the Legislature that they stood in need of its further assistance. Meetings; he knew, had been held in other counties, antecedent to the present Meeting, for the same purposes for which it' was convened; and it might appear to some, that the county of Essex was late, too late, in now coming forward to call for:relief.. On that point he must say that he held a very different opinion. The county of Essex had waited with patience, in bores that the. Gover nment would make a declaration of its intentions re specting the agricultural interests. The Government had at least made that declaration, and • bad stated, that the evil under which the agriculturists suffered must be left to remedy itself. They all knew that if such were to be the case, they would sink from knee deep-to waist-deep, from waist-deep to. chin-deep, until agriculture .aad its ashes would only be remem bered as tithing which had once been —(Hear, hear). He was glad that the present Meeting had originated with the yeomanry of the county ; to him it was a most • gratifying sight, to behold thefarmers joining with the landed aristocracy in taking measures to avert the ruin which was impending over both. He thaught that such an union would prove to the world that the charge of supineness and inactivity, which had been hitherto: justly brought against the agricul turists; would in future be unfounded, and that their determination to reoccupy the situation which was their due place among the king's subjects, would be productive of the most beneficial consequences. The other classes of -society had long had their standing Committees to protect their respective interests: this was the first time - that the farmers had ever come for ward to advocate their own cause, and to ask for that remedies to which they were fairly and justly entitled.-4Cheers).—die could not let slip this oppor tunity of obsetling, that in spite of all the despica ble 4landers , that had -been uttered against the agri cultairal immest—in spits of the wish that had been uttered, that farmers might be compelled to return to their Smock-frocks and' leathern jackets—there were no men who had a greater claim upon the country than the farmers, for loyalty, consistency, and inte grity of conduct —for a filial and fraternal affection, and for all the moral duties which united men to tether in a state of society—six years ago he might liave said for their - riches. He could not say so slow ; but no mutter ; they did not weigh men by their riches, but •by their sterling merit—(Ckeers).— They had been told lii print, that the landlord ought to reduce his rent. He allowed that he ought, and he had great pleasure in stating that most of the landlords in Essdr , had already done so. It ought, hcwever, to go forth lo the world, that if land were farmed wider the present circurnitaisces, and no rent were - paid to the latbalcirsi; it would • be impossible for the farmer to make any proftt—(Eflreere).

(lay morning against a fellow named William &sabot,. who was stopped with a cart on liolborn.hill, containing fmar dad bodirt —together with all the implements used in violating the abodes of the dead. At twelve o'clock the prisoner was brought to this Justice. room in a b-Aney coach, followed by the enraged multitude • who would have inflicted summary punishment upon him had he net been protected from their fury by the officers. Shortly afterwards Alderman Cox arrived, and the examination of the witnesses was gone into. Batty, a watchman of, St. Andrew, Holborn, stated, that about six o'clock that morning he was going off duty with an. other watchman named Gammage when a man* man, dress e d like a butcher, came up and told him that there was a 'mall cart with a black horse coining down the hia, and he suspected it contained something it ought not, and advised them to keep an eye on it. Witness told bins he would, and the you'g Nap went away. Witness hastened to the watcbhouse, and com municated what he bad been told to Mr. Fruin, the bearile,whe was then discharging the men, and he (witness) and the other watchman ( Gammage ) went after the cart { and brought aback, together With the prisoner, to the watch-house. Mr. Fruin, the beadle, stated that on inspection be found in the cart three sacks, containing the dead bodies of three females; one of them appeared to have possessed considerable beauty; and the dead body of an old man was lying in the bottom Of the cart, naked, with a cord tied tight round his neck, and his legs were brought over his head, for the better conveyance. Re also found a new spade, and a boat hook fastened to the end of a stick about five fin long, which was used in raising the lidsof the cairn. The bodies appeared in a very fresh state, and had eviden been recently interred. Ile questioned the prisoner as to bow be became possessed of the bodies? He said he had been employed by two men whom be did - not know (and wba were walking a: a distance before him when he was stopped);te carry the sacks in his cart after them wherever they went; and that be did not know at the time what the sacks contained. ALDIRMAX—Where are the bodies now? Wiuteas--They have been placed in shells, and are lying at the workhouse. ALDERMAN—Have you any conjectures from what burial place they have been stolen?' Witness---I suspect they have been taken from St. Pancras burial-ground, from what the prisoner said. The prisoner was then called on for his defense. He said these was a groom, but out of place; be had a wife and fa mily living at N0.:54, Surrey-place, Blackfriar's-road. Yester day evening two men, whom he did not know, called on hint; and told him if be would meet them at four o'clock this atoning, with his horse and cart, at the new bridge at Kentish Town, they would give him a job. He met them at the appointed hour, and they loaded his cart; hut with what he was totally ignorant till he was stepped' y the watchman. Atnaamax—Pray, officer, was the prisoner's name on the -out ?—No, my Lord, it had the name of Benjamin Lewis, Staple-street, Bermondsey. The prisoner said it belonged to him and Lewis too—tiny were in partnership. The Alderman said he should commit the prisoner for re examination, and in the meantime the officers should malteia quiries at St. Pancris, of the sexton, if any graves in that chards. yard had been viol4cll.—Tbe prisoner was then conveyed to the Compeer, amid the execrations of a vast multitude.
