• ' I 1 4, t~ r . 4, IM.YTS MEETING. Yesterday a meeting of the Noblemen, Gentlemen, Clergy, anti Freeholders of the county of Hants, was held at Winchester, for the purpose of considering the expediency of presenting petitions to both Houses of Parliament, on the subject of the late impolitic and dis erarefnl proceedings against the Queen ; praying them to take such steps as to them may appear wisest and most elfeetual to remove every obstacle to a final and sa tit.factory arrangement, as well as to prevent the renewal of any measure whatever against her Majesty. T he re quisition, in pursuance of which the High Sheriff of the county convened this meeting, was signed by several persons of rank. ,1t one o'clock the County Hall was tilled by gentlemen of consideration, and the open area in front was occupied by a very large concourse of peo ple. As the 11311 was inadequate to accommodate, with convenience, the whole of the persons who attended at the meeting, it was arranged that the speakers should athlreee their sentiments to the large assemblage without, from the windows of the Grand Jury room. The High Sheriff previously opened the business of the meeting, by having the requisition read in the County Hall. When that was done, he steel that he thought it his duty to call the county together upon the receipt of such a requisition ; and he hoped that what ever might be the political sentiments of individuals, no attempt would be made to prevent any gentleman. who might think proper, from addressing the meeting.— ( Appiattse.) Mr. A LF.XVIDER BARIKG ' M. P. then tame • forward to the window of the Brand Jury-room, and commenced his speeds by observing, that he could eta refrain from returning his acknowledgments, in unison with those, he was persuaded, of the county at large, to their worthy and impartial High Sheriff--(cheers)—for affording them the present opportunity of publicly and constitu tionallv avowing their sentiments upon the existing state of public affairs, in conjunction with the great mass ofl 0:e people of this country.—(Hear, hear.) —He (Mr. Paring) wanted words to express the feelings he enter tained of the conduct of meat who would interfere to prevent a public meeting. But how was leis indig nation still further aroused, when he found that unjusti fiable interference carried on and promoted by some of the Ministers of the Crown themselves, who happened to reside in the county, end who after, by their public arts. having violated all the hest feelings of the country —after having sacrificed its best interests, and outraged its derfunre and character, had the meanness to interpose their eseleavonrs to present a meeting of the county front being legally assembletl.—(Cheers.) He need not expatiate upon the grossness of the attempt—he need not develope the whole of the arts which attended it—and partienlarly their act of disseminating wheat they termed aeir lova I 'address throughout the, county,by making the c'ergymen of every parish their political agent in his orese—not, as his sacred functions required, to heal and !tooth the jarrings of grivate life, and promote the con cord of his parishioners, hut to sow political dissensions e• tong them—(tomd cries of heir.)—to get their signs teres to particular addresses to promote the views of po li.ical party.—(Hear, hear, hear.)—His indignation was roused to the. highest pitch at seeing conduct so dis graceful resorted to by such men.—(Hear, hear hear.) With respect to the loyal address of which so much hail been said. he was one of those who yielded to co man in a sentiment of loyalty to the throne—.(hear, bear, hear,) —though be_ could not, as these min hill, dill, presume to arrogate to Tsinosett the exclu s ive loyalty of the conotry,,and prOmulgate in a pnblic I dist all who had refrained from affixing their signatures to its adulatory declaration, were public eitators and disturbers of the public peace.—(Hear.) It might he asked what objection could there be to an attires, merely conveying an expression of ditty and loyalty ? Certainly none in the abstract. Ent why was an adres% necesfuory at this time ? Who had callid the loyalty of the county in question ?—(Hear.)—hint why equixor a te ? Did not every man of candour know, that duese addresses were not intended so much as a declare , lion of loyalty as an indirect tender of support to the syste m and conduct of his Majesty's ministers'—(Hear, hear.)—They had addressed die King upon his at ee‘siou to the throne : he had concurred in that address, licrwtse be thought the time was appropriate for its pro iluetion. Why did not the gentlemen who promoted the loyal atitlress take the sense of the rowdy upon their proceZeling in the first instance, instead of going into }so:es and corners ? Then their course would at least have been direct and open: instead of which, however, d•ey hail taken a course most objectionable in its nature. tier hail circulated a private address as being that of t'.i. county—(hear, hear o—and for aught he knew their I 'toter Sheriff (Mr. Hollis,) whose conduct upon this °e vasion lie must reprobate, had transmitted it as such to Lord Sillosouth—(hear, hear ;)—and he was much mis taken if the address had not got into the Gazette under 4 designation. When such an act had been committed, t'.e county. however averse to express any opinion 'mon a subject which most be very delicate for the Sove reign to have brought under his notice, had no other al ternative than either to concur in the address so framed in their behalf, or dissenting from it, to express that dis sent at a hnblic meeting called under the auspices of the .High Sheriff. The proceedings of these loyal addressers he repeated, left the county no other alternative. There never hail been a time more ill chosen fur such an address to the crown, like that which haul been transmitted to Lord Sitimonth. Why did these men come forward to tender their lives and • fortunes to his Maj esty? Who were the agitators that alarmed them ? Who were the authors of the sedition and blasphemy at which they expressed so natural an abhorrence ? (Cries of hear!) But this alarm was a bugbear; their apprehension was' visionary ; the cry of jacobinism was ridiculous ; the it hole thing was intended to prop up ministers, and for nothing else.—(Hear, hear!) The ministers of the crown having got themselves and the country into the deepest mire of disgrace, hoped by sending forth a cry of alarm, to stifle the voice of the people, by indiscrimi nately branding every man with being an abettor of se dition and blasphemy, merely because he saw through their acts and the meanness which dictated them. The whole of the loyal addresses were intended to prop up these inietiatryt, and to attempt to justify their late dis graceful measures; that, and nothing else, was the drift and tendency of the loyal address.—(llear, hear.) if, then, 114 county of Hants was of opinion that ministers deserved the confidence of the people—if they Homiest their late proceedings against her Majesty were dic tated by wisdom and good policy—then, and then only, could the freeholders sign the loyal address—then, and then only, could they hold up their hands against that which be had to propose, or one of a similar nature.— (Cheers).—lf, however, they thought with hint, that ministers had violated their duty to the King, had com promised the public honour of the country, and grossly violated the best principles of the constitution, then they most see that they bad no other course, after the loyal addresses which had been clandestinely sent op in their name, than to come krword and publicly speak out their sentiments.—(Chwen.)—He should oil the presritt occa sion rather propose a petition to Parliament than an ad dress to the drown.

In pnrsuance of a public requisition, directed to the High Sheriff of d lledfordshire, Charles Barnett, Rig. calling on him to convene "an early meeting of thee.

The meeting took place in the Shire-hall, which was crowded to excess; and a more respectable body of individuals we never saw assem bled in any county town, on any public occasion. Soon after 12 o'clock the High Sherilf, the Duke of Bedford, the Marquis of Tavistock, Lord Hidland, Lord %V. Russell, Lord Russell, F. Pym, Esq. M. P., W. H. Whitbread, Esq., M. P., S. C.

The HIGH SHERIFF having taken the Chair, pro ceeded to open the business of the day. The Duke of Benson then came forward o,midst the unanimous plaudits of theasserobly. He mill, that he hail not often had the honour to meet the inhabi tants and freeholders of that county, assembll-il on any public occasion, lie could only recollect tiro in stances, in the course of his life, when he had t lie ho nour. The last time was to move an humble a ldress of condolence to his Ila:esty on the demise of tli, e:r la . , venerable and much lune, tel Sovereign. '1 ie in stance preceding that was to address his preset tt Ma- jesty, then acting as Prince liegent i onthe de. ttli of the_ late Queen. He now entertained the passe ► true and loyal and devoted feelings towards the t Krone which lie cherished on those occasions to whi vii he had alluded.—(l,auil cheers.)—And, though b a had not to call on them to condole with the King e at the doenese of a virtuosi; Queen who had passed fro p this trandtOry life, yet he had tio•inernat the notsmi‘ hg to address the King, to ask of him that he would r !store the rights, and redress the wrongs, of a living I, Nan, ' whose character had been assailed by the foulest, 'eased. and must malignant conspiracy that ever disgras Oed elm. annals of this or of any ether country.—(Chei irs.)-Her honour, her fame, her character, which i were dearer to a woman than life itself, bad been at 'leapt ei to be destroyed, by means the most detestabl t.

But before he touched on those poi its, he would direct their attention to the deep distresses un der which the country was now labouring—iis tresses that were accumulating from year to year, but which were suffered to pass unnoticed by his 111 ojelity's .
