Finding, to use his ow* 'happy . phraseology, that oir Great Captain " had gone down iu the North," the Hon pourable tientleman proceeded to hug en atteroey, and suck the Under Sheriff's brains, in order to ascertain whether the proposed Meeting would be agreeable to certeia persons (a laugh). The people had been ac= cased of being great innovators anu lovers of uttvilty; now in the face of that County, in the f ice of that M int, be accused the late High Sheriff of being the 'grea'- est i-novator, the greatest lover of novelties in the eons try (hear, hear,, and laughter.) It certainly would be a breach of honour to repeat in public a private conversa tion, but the statement which appeared in the papers having bees signed by two hull% ',lois, and remaining nneontradieted, might be considered a public Jloceiment. Would any man believe that in the year Iti23, a Hiatt Sheriffof a County would demand to see the Petition to he proposed before be consented to call a Meetin-e (laughing)? It reminded hint of • coy and monist:: young lady, of whom he had heard, and who, when asked if sbe would marry, observed that it would be time enough to think of thst when she had seen the sing and the license. (laughter.) The Sheriff observed that he did rot see the names of any great Landholders in the Requisition—this was the slang of the school of politics to which the fie. .nourahle tientleman belonged. If • set of Dukes or Lords were to request a Meeting, for the purpose of pre senting an Address to the Rims, which was to be fillet with adulation, so fulsome, that it became no people to give, or no King to receive it, the ansiver would tie • oh! yes; by all mean., let us have a County Meeting." --((heers). If these great men had any cause cow l:111m'; if, but their Utile finger felt inflamed, and•thlrt a poultice Made oat of the vitals cif the people Could r e ssaage it, the answer would be "Oh ! yes, by alt means, let it tie ktplied."—.(Applaits-.) But, if a set of little landholders i or plebeians (as some would call them), or persons of that description were found labouring under distresses, not erisiog from any negligence, or fault of their own, but from circumstances over which they had no control ; them it was to be left to great Dukes, Noble Lords, 44tgb She riff*, and such great personages to consider whether cat and what relief was to be ex ended.—(Hear, hear.) 'He now turned t, a subject which 'forded him unfeigned delight—lie :want the eutiduct of the Honourable Ba ruuet (Sir T. Haring) sad the other Magistrates who convened the Alerting.—(Applanse.) Even io that Ho nourable Ilaronet's preseuce he felt it due to himself, be felt it due to the Illce•ing to express his exaltation at the open, the manly, the dignified appeal which he (Sit T. Baring) had made hi the Magistracy of the County.— (Cheers.) He now coma to the important questiou of agricultural distress; in discussing it they ought to op- Kai to judgment and reason, and not to fancy or in.), gination.—(Hear.) I t as tannecesrary fur him to enter into any statements in order Jo ikuve the distresses under which they becaurelothev were admitted even by the High Sheriff Isintivlf. bou g h he refused to al -I.vw themea opportunity of petitioning for redress. Now what had been the effect of transitions in former years. He found by a Report lately presented to the House of Commons, that fa nine seers before the American ward the price of a quarter of wheat was forty-six shillings; for nine years during tl:e war it had fallen to forty-four shillings per quarter; during nine years utter the war, it had risen to 4Ces. or 47a. tare, then, walla proof that a sodden rise and tall of produce was not.prottore I hay ft transition from war to peace; I wit appeared that duriog the war produce became cheaper, while after the pears it became dearer.

A meeting of the inhabitants of the.county of South ampton, called by the Magistrate., the High Ahertli hay. lag refuses en to do, was held ou Saturday. at Wit c tes ter. The meeting took place at twelve o'clock; a very large number of Freeholders had assembled in the Cast le yai'd. Among the persons assembled we noticed M. Cobbett ; his appearance attracted a crowd. At 12 u'edock, Sir 'l': Haring, attended by several goal tlemen,ent , red the Grand Jury Roont in the eastle, from the windows of which it is usual to address the budy_of the pen?le who stand in the yard below. At this time there most have been at least n ar 8.009 persons present, and certainly we never witnessed a mare respectable ore more orderly meeting. Mr. Cobbett took his station at a windoei to the right of the Chair, and Mr. Hunt stood nearly behind hint. Mr. Cobbett having looked to:lnd - caught the eye of Mr. Hunt, who regarded him with a fixed conntenanem Mr. Cobbett at length smiled ; Mr. Hunt returned the smile. This was the only mark of recognition which we observed between them, except the allusions, made by Mr. Hunt in the course of his speech, to former acquaint ance, 111-meattnent, false friends, &c. . . Among the gentlemen present, we noticed Sir J. W. Gardiner, Hart. Sir C. Mill. Hart. Mr. Jervoise, M. P. Mr. Fleming, M. P. (both for the county), Mr. Knight. the present High Sheriif, Mr. Long. air. Greene. Mr. Ricketts, Mr. Butler, the Rev. R. Wright, Mr. Budd, Mr. !lathy, Mr. Nunez, &c. It was unanimously voted, on the motion of the Rev. Mr. Wright, that Sir Thomas Haring, who was at the bead of the Magistrates who called the meeting, should take the Chair—(Applause ) Sir 'Futuna% ilaatsm said, that the very flattering manner in which the proposal of his honourable friend had been received left him nu option; he felt bound to obey the call of the Meting, and endeavour to discharge to the best of his poor abitity the important duties of his situation without fear, or favour, or partiality.—(Ap plause.) If he rectived their co-operation and support,it. would be to him not only a high privilege, bat a source of gratification, to be placed in such a situatioo as that he had then the bo-.our of tilling.
