PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 16 —The Blonde frigate, Captain Lyons, returned to Constantinople on the Bth October, having landed about 300 Russian officers and men, who were made prisoners by the Turks at Odessa. The Blonde visited Varna, Bourgas, and Sebastopol; at the latter port the Russian fleet were preparing to lay up for the win ter. Each ship was made fast to a wharf, on which is a receptacle for her stores. The officers of the Blonde were kindly received in all the Rus sian ports, and the Count Woronzow, at Odessa, paid them the most marked attention. The weather in the Black Sea was particularly tempestuous, and the cold intense, the mercury being frequently 13 degrees below the freezing point. The Royalist brig, Lieutenant Nash, tender to the St. Vincent, returned to Plymouth from a cruise on Tuesday morning. The Royalist saw his Majesty's ship Pearl, 20, Commander.

On the vessel striking, a boat, bearing Sir lifigrove and his family, was immediately dis. patched, to obtain assistance from the men-of-war at anchor at Bermuda. It reached the Champion, sloop-of-war shortly afterwards, from which, as well as from the Tyne and Columbine, assistance was im. mediately rendered, but without effect, the transport having bilged soon after she struck. The crew were all saved, but the greater part of her cargo is lost. PROMOTlON!—Commander Aaron Tozer, to be Captain; Lieut. John Harvey Doteler, to be Com mander. APPOINTMENTS—Commander the Hon. Thomas Best, to the William and Mary yacht ; Lieut. Wm. Dawson (a), to the Onyx, of 10 guns, tender to the Royal George yacht; Lieut. Thomas Thorp Fowke, to the Ganges.

NORFOLK COUNTY MEETING. On Saturday the freeholders and other inhabitants of this county were called together, to agree to a petition to Parliament on the subject of the Malt Tax. Similar petitions in various hundreds of the county of Norfolk have already been got up ; and a few weeks ago it was wished by upwards of sixty gentlemen of the county, that the High Sheriff should be called upon to summon a meeting of the whole county. The meeting being appointed to take place at the Shire hall, a considerable number of persons assembled in di:: precincts and avenues;of that building shortly after e i e ren o'clock. At a little after twelve o'clock, the doors being thrown open, the Crown Court in the Shire-hall was crowded to excess. The thou Sintnirr, on entering the Court, was received with applause ; and having taken the Chair, the businesa of the day commenced. Among the Noblemen and Gentlemen present, we ob served Lord Suffield, Lord Charles Townshead, Sir This. Bravo:, Mr. Coke, Mr. Wodehouse (the two Members for the County), Mr. Bulwer, Mr. Pestle, Colonel Harvey, Archdeacon Bathurst, Mr. Palmer, &e. There were up wards of 1,500 persons present. The HIGH SHIRIFF said, that haring received a requi sition, most respectably signed, to call a County Meeting on the subject of the Malt Tax, he had obe)ed the call of the gentlemen who had signed it, and he trusted that the proceedings of the day would be conducted in such a man ner as to reflect credit on the county. Mr. W. E. L. Buvreas rose to address the meeting. He said, that as to there being great distress in the country there could be no question ; and however gentlemen might differ as to the cause, he thought that they must at all events agree that the object which the requisitionists had in view would be one mode of relieving the public from the burtheus under which they were labouring.—(Hear, hear.)—lt was on tbis ground that they had been called upon to meet to petition the Parliament for a repeal of the tax upon malt—a tax which was highly obnoxious to the labouring elassee of the community both in its effect awl its principle; but besides this, it was a tax which might be said to fall heavily on the whole of the comma nity, for it effected both the producer and the cOnsumer.— (Hear,hear.)—Many indirect advantages would he derived to the public, from the removal of the Malt Tax ; the con sequence of the price being lowered would be that double the quantity would be consumed, the result of which would be not only that that which was grown at home would find a ready and brisk sale, .but that a cons id era bl e quantity would be imported, lbygivolzhiitlheexc beinhaannugfeaLtu(rHeresairv,ohueldaro —Regarding able togetrid (!f t the proposed repeal (as lie did) as the pro , bald?, means of bettering the lower order* of the people, he thought that it was a subject which went far beyond the question of revenue. He considered it to be a subject preg nant with great moral consequences; and whatever way the Government might view it—whether Merely ris a tas. or as something much beyond, he trusted that they would at least afford the question their most serious attention.— (Cheers.)—Mr. Buiwer concluded by moving the follow ing Resolutions "1. That this Meeting, in common with the inhabitants olevery district irghe, United Kingdom, feels and laments the general distresta which pervades almost every classSof the community. t a " 2. That both the cultivators of hind, arialte manu lecturers of goods, are placed in such circumstances as to he no longer able to dispoa of their respective:productions to advantage; and in proportion as their means diminish their difficulties increase, being obliicl tor maintain as paupers all those to whom they can o longer give pro fitable. employment. " - tot the want of due employment for the labour ing and industrious classes has increased pauperism and its attendant evils—crime and moral.degradation—so rapidly, as to demand the most serious attention of the Legislature. " 4. That among other causes to which this lamentable state of suffering and degradation may be attributed, none is more prominent than the overwhelming burden of taxa tion beneath which the country groans. " 5. That the taxes which call more especially for alle viation are those which bear upon the industry of the country, and effect the necessaries of life; and upon these grounds there is none more prejudicial in all it bearings than that upon malt. " 6. That the Duty on Malt is an oppressive burthen upon all classes, more particularly upon the cultivators of the soil, by narrowing the market for their staple produce Barley, to an extent which would hardly be credited, but from the well-known fact, that the consumption of Malt is sow considerably less than it was a century ago, though the quantity of land now in cultivation is at least one-third more and the population more than doubled. " 7. That ;index the vex.itious operation of the existing laws, the price of malt is enhanced beyond the actual duty, thus bearing with double weight upon the consumer, while, to the revenue, the expence of collecting the same is a heavy drawback. " 8. That the Repeal of the Duties on Malt would greatly benefit the consumer generally, but more especially would it relieve the labouring and industrious classes, by placing within their reach the means of brewing their own beer, and baking their own bread ; by the want of which they are now driven to the use of ardent spirits, to the de struction of their health and morals. "9. That Petitions to both Houses of Parliament, founded on the foregoing Resolutions, and praying for the total repeal of the du ties on Malt, be immediately prepared." Much applause followed the reading of the Resolutions. Mr. P,osme—Leing one of the Requisitionists for the calling of the Meeting, and having had the honour of co operating with those gentlemen, he rose with much plea sure to second the resolutions which had been so ably pro posed. It would have been quite unnecessary for Lim to say a word, even if Mr. Buiwer had not addressed the meeting, in order to persuade a body of the people to pe tition for the repeal of so heavy a burthen as that of the Malt tax.—(Applause.)—They had no reason to doubt that the DuLe of Wellington and his colleaguce were anxious to economise as far as was ha their power—(Ap plause and a laugh)—but to relieve the people as they ought and required to be relieved, was not the work of a day, nor of a year —no, it would be the work of much time and great consideration. A private gentleman, if he found that he was living too fast, had it in his power, at any time, to stop short, and get rid of his horses and his servants;" he might alter his residence, or lie might go on the Continent, and put his estate to nurse ; but this was not the case with the Ministers of a nation; utast Ka f tic . too — much n to as . t u h tu er ...o eforel e e y oes in e- t f o r • ea ' - re ' n e Thge was likewise another consideration which de manded their attention. If they asked for the remission of both the Malt and Beer Tax, there would be danger of a property tax being imposed upon the country—and not one confined exclusively to mortgages on property and Government securities, but likewise extending to all landed property. Now, if this were the case, would not the Members of Parliament be sure to oppose anything that was likely to produce a tax calculated to bear so hard upon themselves ? In the Upper House, in particular, where they were all men of landed property, every ex ertion would be made, under such circumstances, to pre vent the remission played for. This being the feeling of the Requisitionists, it became a matter of consideration with them for the repeal of which tax they should pray ; and, after due deliberation, the preference being given to the Malt Tax, the present Meeting was called, and for this reason—because it was considered that if they could procure the repeal of the Malt Tax, that would virtually be the repeal of the tax upon beer—(Cheers)—and in that case not only would the brewer be enabled to reduce the price of his beer, but the price would be still more ma terially reduced by the labourer being enabled to brew for himself; nor did this refer to the labourer in husbandry alone; it was applitable to every individual throughout the kingdom. This might be thought only to refer to the small ale, but for his own part he was no enemy to the poor man having his pot of strung beer too.—(Ap plause.)—lt was a luxury which, after his toil, he had a right to enjoy; nor was he, when passing a public house, horrified if he heard the rattl e o f the sittles, for why should not the poor matt have his pastimes and amuse ments as well as the rich ?—(Applause.)—lt had been urged by some that the praying for the repeal of this or that particular tax was a sort of interference with the plans of the Minister ; but suppose the Minister wished to re lieve the people from a portion of the taxes which they were enduring, what could a Minister wish for more then to have the particular tax pointed out which was deemed most oppressive ?—(Applauee.)—Surely those who paid the taxes were the best judges of their weight. A reduc tion only of the duty on malt was objectionable, because, if the Riinisters were to leave the tax in that state, the same army of excisemen would still be required.— (Cheers.) For himself, he srl.s in the habit of sending I • his own barley to lie made into malt, and he was charged 2s. the coomb, with the duty; but if the duty were en tirely taken off, he could afford to sell it at 41. 6d. the bushel. If any portion of the duty, however, was left, the malting would still be open to the excise —(Hear, hear)—and no one but the licensed flutterer would be able to sell it; and for any other person to attempt it, or to meddle at all in the matter, would be ruin. In illustration of this, he knew a case in point, which had happened a few years ago. When the tax on salt existed, there was a duty on it of 16s. the bushel. This duty was afterwards lowered to 2s. the bushel, and, for agricultural use, to 6d. Still, however, while any duty on the article remained, the farmer was unable to make use of it; for there were so many restric tions, connect e d w i t h i t—so many accounts were to be kept, of bow much for the bullocks, how much for the s h e ty, and how much in store, that a man who employed it always ran the risk of getting into the Exchequer through it; but when the tax was entirely taken off he began to use salt, and had continued to do so successfully to that day. —(Applause.) He trusted that the Meeting would confine itself to the subjects now before it ; though he had seen in a Norwich Paper an intimation that the Game Laws would be touched upon ; if there were to be such a Requisition, he would be one of the first to put his name to it—(Cheers)---and if the Meeting, in any respect, went beyond the consideration of the malt tax, he should more for the Game Laws being the subject.---(Cries of cc No, no!") Mr. WonEstousx, M.P. for the county, then presented himself to the meeting, and was received with applause mingled with a few hisses. Every one who heard him was aware that be had riot suffered a year to pass in which he had refrained from pressing on the attention of Govern ment (whoever might form its members) the evils arising from the malt tax—(Applause) —but with that conviction pressing on his mind, he must be allowed to go at once into a short statement of the points on which he agreed, and of those on which he disagreed, with the resolutions which had been proposed to the meeting by Mr. Bulwer. The first, second, third, and fourth resolutions were all of them of a general nature; for they all applied to the gene ral influence of taxation on the country. These four, therefore, were in their spirit and in every syllable of them undeniably true ; but they would be so good as to recol lect that the fifth arid sixth resolutions applied to one ar ticle only. And what was that article ? Malt But then, why not also the article of beer ?—(Applause and uproar.) Why was not the tax on tea speeified.—or that ou sugar—and still more that on coals'—(Cries of " Bravo !" and confusion.)—lf asked why he wanted tl include those also, his answer was that the high rate, of these taxes must necessarily press upon the people, now that they were labouring under the difficulty of low wages.—(Cheers ) It was evident, therefore. that by this high rate of taxation the comforts of the lower classes were abridged; and while things remained in this state, it was a scandal to the Aristocracy of the country.—(Cheers.) The seventh Resolution was of a different nature again, fur it applied tel the vexatious re strictions that the malt trade experienced. At his request the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the course of the last session, acceded to a proposal for examining into the affair, according to a sugtesiion transmitted to him by his friend Mr. CI isp Brown, and procured the appointment of three experienced excisemen and three experienced maltsters, as a sort of Commission of Inquiry, in order that it might be ascertained whether these vexatious restrictions were ne cessary or unnecessary, in order that those only which were necessary might be retained. What was the result of this Commission ? He himself not being able to attend, his friend Mr. Portman attended for him, and the con elusion arrived at was, that the =haters were perfectly satisfied with the conduct of the Government.----([dear.) It had been observed by Mr. Postle, that he wished the Malt Tax to he extinguished altogether, as otherwise the same army of excisemen would be kept up for its collection. But let them look at the other high taxes—the enormous one upon spirits in particular, and they would see that there was little hope (while that continued) for the de crease of the number of excisemen; in short, while there was a high duty there waist necessarily be a high penalty, and the argument therefore applied gerserally to all ex ciseable commodities.—( Hear, hear.) There was one material sabject connected with this and every other tax which the meeting was bound to take into consideration. He had, for a loeg time, (and was never more impressed with it than now), been of opinion that it was mere childishness, and both nugatory and delusive, to enter into a consideration of the present state of the country, either as compared with what it had been in past time, or what it would probably be in future, witkout constantly bearing in mind its relation to the overwhelming and pa ramount question of the altered value of money.—(Ap plause.) In his opinion the Legislature, when they med dled with that question, had no adequate Conception of the importance of the work they were taking in band —(Hear, hear.) As he looked at the question, it was a good rule ' for Parliament to tax trade in the time of war, and in tLe time of peace to alter the tax to land ; and he believed that if the Parliament of 1815 bad not been actuated by the greatest selfishness, there would then have been a rate levied upon property.--(Applause.) Ile should content himself with reading some resolutions which he had drawn up, for the sake of recording what his sentiments were, , and that be might stand before clear.—(llear.) The fol lowing were the resolutions : " That the state of depression in which every interest throughout the empire is placed, demands the most serious attention of the Legislature. " That one great and primary object for consideration is the extent to which the comforts of the poor and indus trious classes of the people are abridged by the continuance of a high rate of taxation under a ►ow rate of wages, as applied to the necessaries of life, such as malt, Leer, tea, sugar, and coils. " That with respect to the real weight of taxation, the Legislature does not appear to have entertained an adequate conception of the effects that were likely - to be produced by the partial restoration of the present standard of gold, even as far as regards England ; Scotland and Ireland being hitherto exempted from its operation. " That the evils of an unlimited paper currency arc snch as no right-minded person should ever seek to renew; but that every practicable suggestion id, toleviating the e th vi e ls s o ta f t : :. a ti n n ft ° l3 :' e t; ge a r: S ettl i Z e el r fa r :;; lle Ve CO i ni -h m ''. Un ' i - r 4 ;. e ' tY' of Lord SUFFIELD wished to know whether Mr. Wode house intended to move these Resolu►ions by way of Amendment? If he did, his Lordship would be happy to second them. Mr. WonEtrousm—lf your Lordship will move them, I will second them. Lord SurviELn—He had not come there with an inten tion of offering any observations on the object of the meet ing; that object he generally approved, and his mind was not made up to express any opinion on the language of the petition ; but he had been so forcibly struck by the argu ments of Mr. Wodebouse, and they wire so precisely in ac cordance with his own sentiments, that he could not for bear affording the great and respectable Meeting which lie saw before him an opportunity, by secontling Mr. Wode house's Amendment, of passing their judgment on the sub ject.—(Applause.) Sir THOMAS BEZVOR, in rising to offer any opposition to Mr. Bulwer's Resolutions, did so with considerable dif• fidence. When, however, he looked round that hall, and saw the respectable body of freeholders that surrounded him, and recollected that seven years ago, in the ♦ery teeth of the Aristocracy, they had voted for an equitable adjustment, it gave him some little confielence.—(llear, heir. )—The Mover and Seconder had appeared extremely anxious that all who succeeded them should stick to the question of the Malt Tax alone, as the law had been laid down by the sixty individuals whom they represented.— But though these gentlameft had taken this trouble on themselves, he did not know why the rest of the Meeting were bound to adhere to their rule. He considered that those who petitineed only for the Repeal of the Malt Tax (and Mr. Bulwer's Resolutions went to nothing else) were too sanguine as to the consequences they deemed likely to attend such remission—(Applause.)—The effect for which they were looking would never be produced till they had a thorough and Radical Reform in the Commons House of Parliament.—(Continued cheers.)—lle had no wish to offer himself as the opponent of Mr. Wodehouse's Amend ment; but if that were not carried, he wished to be un derstood as saving to himself the right of proposing his own. Lord C. TOWNSHEND hoped that the system of peti tioning would be steadily pursued in all directions; for he had not that confidence in the Ministry to believe that they would yield the point, unless c omp e ll e d t o d o it. ._ Mr. COKE then presented himself to the Meeting, and was received with loud and general cheering. He said that he had never attended a County Meeting with more satis factory feelings; for it had nothing to do with a difference of political or party spirit.—(Applause.)—N e ith e r had they to canvass the errors of a Revolutionary War, which, in his opinion, had been the primary cause of all the distress and bankruptcy which had taken place since, Ana of the present impending danger to the country.—(Ap plause.)—ln looking around him he saw men who had pledged their lives and fortunes in that cause; they were, however, alive, and at this Meeting, and he was glad to see them; he wished to God, however, that they had seen their error before they had plunged so m a dly i n t o a war, which had ended in almost the ruin of the country.—(Great applause.)—To the Mover of the Re solutions he offered his congratulations, on his now, for the first time, stepping forward to take a public tart in the affairs of the county; and he was sure that they ought to be obliged to him and his Seconder for the able manner in which they had introduced the re solutions to their notice ; with respect to the latter Of those gentlemen, though he agreed with him in many of the points which be had urged on the Meeting, there were some in which he was obliged to disagree with him ; he might also, perhaps, agree with Sir Thomas Beevor in his wish for Radical Reform.—(A laugh and applause.) This and other points !night be in unison with his senti ments, but he must be allowed to say, that at all events they were foreign to the objects of the Meeting.—(Hear, hear.) For the exertions that were now making for the repeal of this tax, he was hound to return his thanks to the yeomanry of England, and to the county of Norfolk in particular. He knew that it was thought by sonic taut j the repeal of the Beer Tax would be still more beneficial to the poor than that of the Malt Tax. To hope for the repeal of both duties was too much, for, to.:ether, they amount to a large sum ; and the question, therefore, was, whether they would not be more likely to obtain the repeal of one than of both ? In order to obtain that, he believed that it was only necessary for them and the yeomanry of England generally to resolve to have a long pull, a stiong pull, and a pull altogether.—(Cheers.) In the removal of all grievances, however, there must be a beginning, and he therefore gave the preference to the Malt Tax over the Beer. He would tell them why he gave the preference is the repeal of the Malt Tax over that of Beer. It was be cause he was old enough to remember when all the poor of the kingdom were able to brew their own beer. Up to 1750, when the po.pnlation of England and Wales was I no more than 6,470,000, there was :7.4 snook malt as new, I when the population amounted to thirteen (Hear, hear.) Surely this was a sufficient evidence that the beer did not contain the malt that it ought.—(Ap. clause.) They were told by interested persons that if ;lie Beer Tak Was taken off, they would supply it to the poor no- a penny a pot less; but did they tell them that they would make it better, and promise not to use the . skill of tl:e chemist in its composition ?—(A laugh and applause.) In Ilia opinion the removal of the Beer Tax would only 141 premium for bad bear. Now let them consider the Malt Tax. lie could remember the time when every poor inzn brewed his own beer—nor wail it only 'his beer that he thus procured—in addition to that there were the grains with which he could fatten. a pig, or Which enabled his wife to rear a few fowls ; besides: this, there was a tittle yeast, with which he was able to make his own bread ; for all which reasons he thought the repeal of the Malt Tax preferable to that of beer.—(Applause.) Co/noel .H.aavny thought that they were bound to do the best they could to relieve the condition of the poor. when they considered the oppressive circumstances under which they were labouring ; if the Malt Tax were re. moved, he had no doubt that it would greatly tend to that effect.—(Applause.) The great fault, and one of the principal causes of the distress of the country, was that the Legislature, in what they had done of late years for the supposed relief of the country, had proceeded on a wrong principle. If they did hut contemplate what had been done, both with respect to the Corn Laws and Free Trade, they would perceive how ruinous the system must be. As to the Corn Laws, ail they now stood, they were entirely absurd; and indeed they must be so, for they knew the result. The bubble that cheap corn was'a com fort to the people, was:burst ; and they now- began to know that what they . wanted 'was to get hack to the former prices; - Mr. PALMER--Ile had never attended t Cennty Meet ing at whichhe had felt more pleasure than at the pre sent one. For himself, he was opposed to tke idea of property tax, because he did not see that; it,was any relief to take out of one pocket to put into another. What they really wanted was to retrace their steps, and to have the true principles of legislation advocated. He trusted that the agriculturists would not think, that because he was a commercial man, be was therefroe their enemy. He was not such a fool ; he looked upon the nation but as one large family, with but one interest to support, and who ' ever abused one portion of the State, inflicted an injury an the whole. If the amendment of Mr. Wodehouse should be negatived, he would advise those who constituted the meeting to proclaim for themselves those principles of Par liamentary Reform, without which the vessel of the State could not rightly be navigated.---(Applause ) Archdeacon BATHURST agreed with those gentlemen who had spoken in opposition to the original motion. The speech and the resolutions which had been given to the Meeting by Mr. Wodehouse did both his head. and his heart credit ; and with Sir Thomas Beevor he agreed in one point, that they ought to go to the root of the evil.— (Applause.) He must confess, therefore, that if the Meeting was determined to come to a division on the sub ject, he should prefer the Amendment of Mr. Wodebuu , c. He however hoped that both Mr. Wodehouse and Sir Thomas Beevor would consent to withdraw their Amend ments, so that the original Resolutions might be agreed to without opposition. Mr. Wo — mmousa said that when he had first introduced his Resolutions, he had done so merely for the purpose of recording his sentiments ; but as he found that many of the gentlemen present appeared to agree with him in opinion, he should certainly take the sense of the Meeting upon them as an Amendment. - Mr. Cor.t,xx said that he " had now been a farmer for about forty years, and was therefore pretty well acquainted with the habits of the labourers; formerly, when they cams to work they would always bring their allowance of beer with them, but now they were only able to bring a bottle of water—(Cries of shame)—ancl what is the reason of this ? Why the tax upon malt ; if that were removed, the labourer would be enabled for a shilling to buy enough malt to procure him a pot of beer every day for a week—(Hear) besides having yeast enough to make a good loaf of bread. —(Hear, he4r.)—What he wanted to tee was everything taken out of the way that could oppress the country. The Resolutions and Au►endment were emu again read seriatim to the Meeting. The meeting during this period was in considerab!e up roar, and the Hran Stumm. reduced the question simply to a show of hands for Mr. Wodehouse's Pma7^ , kar-v-‘ -- - 1 eisuer. • _timid putt' The original resolutions of i+T . ••LLitwer were carried by a majority of about three to one. The limn SinitllY declared the original resolutions to be carried. Sir THOMAS Bravoit protested against this course. lie ought to have been permitted to propose his amendment. Mr. Cora then moved a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff, which was carried by acclamation, and the High Sheriff then dissolved the meeting. After a considerable number of the Meeting had with. drawn, Sir T. Baryon addressed those that remained. Me complained very much of the conduct of the High Sheriff, and said, that instead of a Vote of Thank, there ought to have been a Vote of Censure passed upon him. There was one point, however, which be begged them ta observe, which was, that though the requisitionists had carried their resolutions, they had carried nn petition, and therefore any petition that was presented to Parlia- rnent in th; name of that Meeting would be n for gery. They were no longer, legally speaking, a Meet ing, and therefore lie could not propose any motion ; but, with permission, he would read to them the resoluions and petition which he had drawn up. They were then read by the worthy Baronet, after which the assembly dis persed. DURING LIST "FEEL 1 Wheat. 1 Barley.

(From the Western Times.) CASTLE or emus., FRIDAY, eau. 15. This long anticipated meeting of the freeholders of this county took place this day. About half past 11 o'clock, the doors of the Nisi Prins Court were thrown open, and long before 12 the Hall was densely crowded. The High Sheriff, Sir H. P. Davis, Bart., took the chair. Befere the Under-Sheriff could proceed to read the Requisition the numbers outside the Hall had so far increased, that the call for an adjournment to the Castle yard became too cla morous to be resisted. The Hen. Mr. Fettowxs said that if there were but fifty who could not hear the debate, he should be anxious for an adjournment. The Iligh Sheriff yielded to the call, and the meeting adjourned to the open air. A waggon had been previously provided as a hustings, on which the Sheriff and a number of gentle men took their station. There were assembled according to the best of our judgment above 2000 persons, and the meeting continually increased, to that the adjournment was absolutely necessaryt We are well assured from information from different parte of the county, that had the language of the Requisi tion been more strongly worded, aiming at a gradual par tial abolition of tithes, the number of freeholders who would have attended the meeting, 'mould not only have been too numerous for the Hall, but would hale filled our large Castle yard. The feeling on this important subject is deep and strong in the agriculturists of this great county, and, under the direction of any confidential leader, they would boldly follow him to measures, which weuld lite rally disarm the title of radical. Mr. CAREW, the Under-sheriff, read the following re quisition, which he stated was signed by upwards of eleven hundred payers and receivers of Tithes. " To the High Sheriff of the County of Devon. " We the undersigned, Inhabitants of the Comity of Devon, being all either Payers or Receivers of Tithes, Re quest that you will convene a County Meeting, to consider the propriety of petitioning the Legislature to take into their deliberations the present state of the Tithe Laws, and to make such arrangements for a better mode of pry seat of tithes, as shall appear, after the most mature investiga tion, to be fair, and just to all parties interested therein. The Urroxft-Snrerer read a letter he had received from Mr. Bastard, one of the Members for the county, which stated, that be was prevented attending the county Meet ing, as Mrs. Bastard was near her confinement, (The reading of this letter excited some merriment among the audience, and some jokes at the expense of the Honuor able Member. The Hon. New Tow FuLtowas then same forward and addressed the meeting He said before he entered en the important question for which the present meeting was convened, he must take occasion, in the name of those who signed the requisition to the High Sheriff, to thank him for having given them the means of addressing Parliament, by convening the meeting of to-day. It was the usual course for persona who addressed a meeting to begin with an introduction, and to end with the motion which he intended to make, but would now be as he often was, a little out of order, and in order tlAt there might be no mistake, he would now beg leave to with reading the petition, in the first place, which he intended in conclusion to move for the adoption of the in •eting.
