There were five meetings of the land-owners GA oecupiers of different Hundreds in the cmtnty of Norfolk during the part week, to consider the over powering subject of the agricoltural distress. On Saturday the of the Modred of Flolt took place at the Shire Mill, Flolt ; the key. C. CoLet ea (es one of the Magistrates who convened the meet. ing) opening the business,. J. W. Tout.tuacit. Esq. was called to the Chairs Mr. BALLacHeY. of Etgefielil. first rose. sod objected to the introduction of Reform into the Petition. sus no relief could be available if it were not immedistet and such relief could not be ob ,,ained by a Reform in Parliamenti, which, if it were necessary. mast be • work of time. The real evil. he contended, was excessive texatieni and the Poor Laws. He proposed a string of . Revo lutions, which Mr. Utting seconded. They stated the urgency of the este of the farmers to he so great that they would not nsik with the subject any extraneous matter which might ex cite diversity of sentiment ; that themeasures pro posed by Ministers were very inadequate; that the principal causes of their distress are taxation and the Pnor Laws; and that they were sensible only • partial relief could be affoided whilst the interest of so immense a debt remained to he provided for, bat that considerable relief might be afforded by rigid economy and retrenchment ; by modelling the system of taxation. so as to make it fill more equally on the people ; by a revisal of the Poor Laws; and by a progressive duty on the importation of foe reign corn. Mr, Damns. of Blakeney, thnught the Reso lutions did lint go fir enough: taxation f;ll most heavily 'vein them; but no effectual relief would be afforded whilst the representation of the people was so imperfect. whil.t seat-selling was avowed and justified, and the acts of corruption declared necessary to keep up the influenc- of the Crows,. He moved Resell/ti-ns to this affect, which Mr. Barber seconded with some remarks, and they were curried, with only four or five hands against them, as was the Petition. The Hundred of Flotnblevied assembled on Tuesday in a barn et Iletherrett, when Jetwiespivet Poetle, Ewl. opened the meeting, and the Rev. G. Preston war coiled to the chair. Mr.NoltGaTE brought forward Resolution., stat ing that countervailiiig duties must he imposed till the reduction of taxation could be erected, which should be begun by the immediate repeal of the taxes on malt, salt, and !pother. Sir THOMAS HUMOR objected to the prayer for proteeting duties, as did Mr. Pestle, who moved an amendment, statiog that tio Government could im pose a duty sufficient to prohibit foreign corn. The original Resolutions were however passed. Sir THOS. BIXVOIt moved one, staling that no permanent remedy could he expected 'Onto Re form ; and, on a division this was carried by 2810 21. A Petition founded on the Resolutions was then passed. At the meeting of the Hundred of Lannilitch, on Wednesday, at Gressenhall House of bulustry, General Kenpel took the Chair on the motion of General Fitzroy, and argued that taxation was the only rause of the distress, which Mr. Fox had warn ed Ministers would be the case when they entered into war. Geo. Fitzroy moved Resolutions, cen suring the doctrine that superabundance wits the cause of the dietrem, which they maintained arose from overwhelming taxation, aggravated by the baneful effects of the Batik Restriction Act, and declared that nothing short of the repeal of the whole malt tax could keep the poorer soils in cul tivation. Mr. MANN, of Beefy, seconded the motion. Mr. ['RIEMAN, of Swanton, moved a !termlo tion, atitirig the Opinion of the meeting that the tithe hews should be revised ; end Mr. COPLMAN seconded it. The Rev. Mr. Moat.e, of Brioley, thonght tax ation one, but not the only cause or trisorepo; he moved a Resolution adverting to the enormous pressure or the Poor rates. The Rev. Dixon nosy,: said if taxes were moved. the poor might be employed, and the rates in consequence lowered. Mr. FitvEmAll's and Mr. MORLE'S Resolutions were withdrawn. The Rev. Mr. MUNNINGS Ihouvlll it better to leave the remedies to the wisdom of Perliaaseet ; to take oft the malt lax would be it great relief, but Government mu.' look to other iotereats es well as thu'e of the egricillturi.to. fie heartily wished, however, that the futelholders could be made to cootribute to the poor rates. . . . .
