The following are the particulars of what passed at a very important Meeting yesterday at the house of the Earl of Liverpool. The subject of course excited the most lively interest in the. City.—The Governor, Deputy-Governor, and Directors of the Bank of England, together with some of the leading "private Bankers, received at. invitation from the Earl of Liverpool to meet him at Fife House at twelve o'clock yesterday. 'They accordingly waited upon his Lordship at the hour appointed, and they were admitted im mediately.—The great object in view, on the part of his Lordship, was to submit to the Three -tors. and Bankers a proposition fur the relief of the.prevailing agricultural distresses.—The sug gestion made by the Earl of Liverpool was the following :—That Exchequer Bills should be 'issued to the amount of five millions (we are itifofined that such was the amount named,) to be circulated through the medium of the Country 13ankers, and applied•to alleviate the wants and necessities of the Farmers in various parts cif the kingdom, whether the owners or occupiers of land. His Lordship expressed to the Directors and Bankers the extreme anxiety felt by his Ma 3esty's. Government to do . every thing in their power for the relief of the country, and especially of the agriculturists. Willing to avail himself of the practical experience and particular informa tion of the Gentlemen whom he had requested to attend, he begged to be informed of their opinion as to the probable efficacy or inefficacy of- this measure.—The Directors' and Bankers felt some hesitation in expressing their sentiments hastily on a question so important, but we under.; stand that they were unanimous in their decision that the issue of 5,000,000 of Exchequer Bills, as contemplated by the Prime Minister, would not afford any effectual or permanent relief. 'They more than doubted whether such a sup ply of money would give even any present relief, and they were clearly satisfied that if the farmers were in want of money the issue of Ex chequer Bills was needless, as it was indisputable that there was a vast quantity of unemployed capital in the country which might be borrowed by Agriculturists and . others upon mortgage and various securities, at or under the rate of 5 per cent. interest. There was no deficiency of the circulating medium in any part of the country. — This reply led to a desultory converszition be tween the Earl of Liverpool, the Directors, &c. as to the facility with which money could be raised upon mortgage, and after a variety of re , - marks confirmatory of the opinion originally ex pressed, the Earl of Liverpool, from the repre sentations made to him, seemed disposed to aban don the suggestion he had made. [THE TIMES.] The very singular meeting between Lord Li verpool and. certain heads of our Banking Esta blishments, proves, we , fear, the disposition of Government to adopt any shifting partial expe dient for the relief of agricultural distresses, ra ther than attempt the only sure and honourable course—that of economy and retrenchment. The farmers are in embarrassment, and therefore Go vernment will raise money upon Exchequer- MIS, to lend the country bankers, who are in no want of such a supply, to - be by those bankers lent out again to the farmers, who have no means of giving security. This was the notable plan which had entered into the heads of his Ma jesty's Ministers foe the relief of the agricultural distresses, but which was immediately nipped in the bud by one word of common sense from the people consulted: It being very clear, then, that the country bankers would not become parties to. such delusive loans, it is now thought that Government will go directly to the'sufferers themselves, and offer them the assistance of the five millions, we should presume, with out security ; for it is very obvious, what eVer professions may be made, that the far mers can have no real or sound security to offer— their crops and liVe stock not being articles of permanent duration, but of immediate Use ; and; at the present prices, unproductive. It seems also, that the issuing five millions of Exchequer bills to the country bankers, of which their notes were to be the representatives in the market, is really frustrating Mr. Peel's Bill, and reverting to a paper currency of a worse and less respect able kind than that of the Bank of England.— The issuing the money directly to the farmers bus this obvious dishonesty in it—that the coun try gentlemen, who are subservient to. Ministers, after obtaining a precedence for their tenants, may immediately seize the money advanced by Government for arrears of rent. The nation cannot forget the million and a half that was granted three or four years ago on the pretence of alleviating the then existing commercial dis- ' tresses. Has any account ever bt•en produced of the application of that money ?- 7 We cannot'close these law remarks without commenting on the power, capacity, and dignity of a Ministry, which is obliged, through its chief member, to send for and consult certain bankers Of Threadneedle street, on the measures proper to be adopted in a case of pctblic embarrassment. Thus it is that we are governed. [MORNING MOCII anxiety was manifested in the city yester day, in consequence of an invitation having breii sent to the Governors and Directors of the Bank of England to attend the of Liverpool at Fife House ; and, a variety of reports were 'current, the chief of which was, that it was intended that the Bank should in future discount at 4 instead of 5 per cent. The Gentlemen above mentioned attended . his Lordship, together with a number of the principal Bankers of the city, at 12 o'clock yesterday, when his Lordship informed them that the ohject'of his calling them together was .fur the purpose . of considering. what measures could be adopted towards relieving the .Agricul turists, and to consider of a proposition which. 4,e had to make, and also to take their advice respecting it. The substance of which was, that five millio.ns of Exchequer Bills should be immediately issued, and circulat ed through the country Bankers towards alleviating the distress of the farmers in general. His Lordship said, that his Majesty's Govern ment had witnessed with deep regret the de pressed state of Agriculture in every part of the Kingdom, and had resolved, as far as lay in their power, to alleviate the distress occasioned there by. In consequence, his Majesty's Ministers had determined to request the opinions of the Gentlemen present, who, from their extensive practical experience, were able to form the best idea as to the efficacy of this proposition. The Gentlemen expressed their regret at having been taken by surprise upon so momentous a question; and were decidedly averse to the proposed mea sure being adopted. They were unanimous that the issue of the above sum in Exchequer Bills would not have the effect contemplated by the Government ; and they did not think that any sum of money would) afford relief to the farmers. They further stated, that there vas at this pre sent moment an immense unemployed capital in the country which could be lent to the agricul turist in the way of mortgage, &c. at the tuual rate of 5 per cent., or even at a lower rate.— After much conversation between his Lordship, the Directors, &c. the' original proposition was withdrawn, and the interview terminated. LNEW TIMES., We are happy to state that the accounts from Ireland are of a more gratifying description than during the last week. In many of the districts where insdbordination had been most daring, a disposition to renounce their criminal projects had been manifested by the deluded peasantry. One great cause of this auspicious change may be found probably in the large reinforcements of troops which had reached the southern and west ern counties. The miserable bands of Insur gents, who ventured to face the military, must have been convinced how insane their hopes were of being able to sustain any thing like a contest with them, for hundreds fled in dismay from detachments of only twenty or thirty of the troops. We look forward anx iously to the attainment of that preparatory state of tranquillity, in whatever way it may be produced, which will leave room for the application of remedial measures, calculated, we hope, to mitigate, if not wholly remove, evils of so long a duration as the system of Whiteboyism has been in the province of Monster. This is the great point to be accomplished. We all know that the Government is strong enough to over come any rash attempts at insurrection into which the peasantry may be betrayed ; but when we see, that during upwards of half a century, a particular province has been the theatre of suc cessive revolts, and all directed towards,the same end, it becomes at once dangerous and puerile to shrink from an inquiry into their causes. [BRITISH PRESS.] The Surrey County Meeting to take into con sideration the Agricultural Distress of the Coun try, was held yesterday at Epsom. It was nu merously and respectably attended. A Petition, ascribing the evil to excessive taxation, and re commending a reduction of the burdens as the only and effectual cure, was moved by Mr. W. Western, and seconded by Captain Ma berly. This appeared to be the sense of those who had signed the Requisition for the Meeting, but it was objected that the Peti tion did not go far enough, and was deficient, in not including a Resolution in favour of Par liamentary Reform, the corruption of Parlia ment being the source of the excessive taxation. Reform, however, not being noticed in the Re quisition, the High Sheriff refused to allow it to be made a part of the proceedings ; but so de termined were the meeting upon that point, that although they approved the Petition as far as it Went, they negatived it rather than pass it with out their favourite Reform. The High Sheriff then dissolved the meeting, a considerable party of which proceeded to the Assembly Room, and pre pared a new Requisition, including Reform, which was presented to the Highs Sheriff. The latter, however, declined to call an immediate meeting, in conformity .with the precedent of the late Suf folk Meeting, alleging that he did not think it would be acting fairly by those who had staid away from the meeting, not expecting from the purport of the former Requisition that the sub ject of Reform would he introduced, nor by those who were gone away, conceiving the busi ness at an end; but he consented to fix a meet ing for this day fortnight. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Lord Liverpool's specific for the relief of the Agricultural distress is at last before the public. It has been disclosed just in time to enable the Country Gentlemen to judge of the, intentions of his Majesty's Ministers, before they are called upon again to place confidence in them on the Meeting of Parliament. His Lord ship summoned several very respectable London Bankers yesterday morning, to wait on him and the Chancellor of the Exchequer at Fife House, for the purpose of delivering their opinion on a project which he submitted to them for issuing five millions of Exchequer Bills, with a view to remedy all the complicated evils of which such loud and well-founded complaints have recently been made by the Landed In terest. It was proposed to issue these live millions to the farmers through the agency cf th country banks. Lord Liverpool and his co - leagues were apparently much disappointed at the manner in which this scheme was received, and disconcerted by the objections urged to it on the part of the Gentlemen to whom they had resorted for advice on this occasion. It was observed that, on all former occasions, when such a measure had been adopted, there was at least an apparent necessity for it ;—that our trade was suffering from some peculiar pres sure, either caused by circumstances connected with the war in which we were engaged, or by a scarcity of money and the difficulty of procuring it, even on the most unexceptionable . , sectifitieq, at the inOtnent ;—that in both cases this mode of relief was suited to the exigency, and it had been found effectual ;—that at present the circumstances were quite different ;—that in stead of any scarcity of money being felt, the complaint throughout the country generally was the difficulty of employing or investing it, even at a low interest ;—that this state of things was so universally prevalent, and the London Bankers had been so encumbered by deposits 'from their Country Correspondents, that they had been obliged in all cases to lower the rate of interest on their accounts, and in some to discontinue the allowance of it entirely.—lt was therefore asked, how Exchequer Bills could be of the least benefit in such a state of the money market ?—The Coun try Bankers, it was further observed, would be satisfied with even less security for their ad vances than would be required by Commissioners for the issue of Exchequer Bills ; and the ques tion was not where money was to be found, hut where the farmer, after he had expended the ad vance which he might receive in the payment of his rents and taxes, could find means to replace it ?—Such then are the fruits of the profound de liberations of Ministers on the distresses of the country ! Such are the men who have so long wielded the destinies of this great Empire!— Was Lord Liverpool so little acquainted with the real situation of the country, as not to he aware of the facility with which money can at present be borrowed? If he was aware of this,. did it never occur to him that, wherever an ad vance of money to the farmer promised ulti mately an advantageous result, individual specu lation would not be backward in affording it The public, in this case, cannot even go so far as individuals. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB. 4. THE RING V. DR. HIOHMORE. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL prayed the judgment of the Court on the defendant, Dr. Highmore, who was found guilty at the sittings for Middlesex after last term, of a libel on the King. Dr. Highmore immediately tendered affidavits, and said he wished to move in arrest of judgment. The LORD CHIEF JusTicE.. 7 -You cannot move on affida vits in arrest of judgment ; you may move on affidavits for a new trial, or may use them in mitigation of punishment, but you can only move in arrest of judgment for some error ap parent on the face of the record. Dr. Highmore said he wished to contradict the statements made in the prosecutor's reply. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—If you will attend to the sug gestion I am about to make to you, and to the Solicitor-General, you may perhaps find it needless. I would suggest that you enter into your own recognizance to appear and receive judg ment, if called upon. Highmore . said he was humbly grateful to his Lcrdship, but he had been nine months in prison. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—That is the reason why I ven ture to make the recommendation. Yoli may if you please refuse it, but it is for your own benefit : if you conduct yourself properly, you will never be called on to receive sentence. You had better confer with some gentleman at the bar,who will advise you. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, that he willingly accepted. the suggestion of his Lordship. The defendant might have been liberated from prison at any time during the nine Months, on entering into his own recognizance. ' Mr. F. POLLOCK rose and said ; that he had conferred with Dr. Highmore, and would, with the leave of the Court, retire with him ifor a short 'time. The learned counsel accordingly retired with the defendant, and shortly after signified to the Court, that Dr. Highmore gratefully accepted the terms offer ed him. The LORD C'iliEr JUSTICS expressed his satisfaction at the result : the Doctor bowed respectfully to the Court, entered into his recognizance, and was discharged. COBB V. SYMONDS. This was an application to the Court, to ascertain whether a smuggler was subject to the Bankrupt Laws. It was an action of trover by the assignees of a bankrupt, to recover from the defendant damages for certain farming utensils which had been assigned to him by the Sheriff. At the trial a verdict was taken for the plaintiff. A motion was now made to set aside the verdict, upon the ground that the bankrupt being a farmer, was not properly sub ject to the bankrupt laws. The Couwr, however, refused to disturb the verdict on the authority of some cases, where it was laid down that without any reference to the legality or illegality of the trading, if it was shewn that a men got his living by dealing in smuggled goods, he was amenable to the provisions of 'the bankrupt laws. —Rule discharged. The Court rose at two o'clock. • SOUTHWARK SESSIONS. Yesterday the adjourned Sessions for" commenced before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Common Serjeant, Aldermen J. J. Smith and Wood. John Gezry was tried on a charge of having stolen a qua drant, the property of John Allen, on the 15th of December last. The prisoner is a sailor, and lodged at a lodging-house in Blue Anchor-lane, from whence it appeared, under the pres sure of want, he stole a quadrant from the room of a fellow lodger, and pledged it for a small amount. The Court—Well, prisoner, what have you to say in your defence to this case ? Prisoner—What have I to say ? Why, that it is a d--d awkward piece of business, which you must settle amongst you. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, when the Court sen tenced him to be imprisoned for one month. Prisoner—Your Honour. I wish you'd do me the favour to withdraw your sentence, and send me across the seas. I should be very much obliged to you. . The COMMON' SERJE4NT—The Court is not in the habit of withdrawing its sentence. ' Prisoner—l'd much rather, if it's all the same to you, be transported for my natural life, than be kept in limbo here for a month. The COMMON SERJEANT—The Court is not in the habit of consulting the convenience or inclination of prisoners in such cases.—Gaoler, take him away. The prisoner was then taken away in high dudgeon, at the unaccommodating disposition of the Court. A dinner was given on Friday, in the Ward of Walbrook, to present a cup to Mr. Alderman ATKINS. Nye lament to say that Mr. -HALES, a Common Cduncilmau of this Ward, died 'on Sun day. Mr. Itynu and Mr. T. N. Wt wAms have started, and both were canvassing the Electors yesterday. It.ctiEsTEn. GAOL.—In the early part of last week information was forwarded to town, by Mr. HAttnr, (the present Governor of this prison,) complaining`of the conduct of Hum', and re questing an order for his closer confinement. The Magistrates of the county of Somerset also con curred in the necessity of the measure ; and ac cordingly the required order was made absolute by Mr. Justice REST, and immediately forwarded to Ilchester.—(Morning P(Ter.) CORONER'S NQuEsT.—On Saturday an Inquest was held at the King's Head Inn, Richmond, Surrey, before CHARLES JEIIIIIIITT, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Mr. WHYTE, who came from town, and had been living there for three or four days. It appeared that this unfortunate young man had been in a desponding way, and had pro cured small quantities of laudanum at the shops of several different chemists, thereby deceiving them as to his intention of the application of it, and the fatal effects were not produced without severe suffering ; after a full and minute investi gation of all the ° circumstances, the Jury pro nounced a Verdict of—" Insanity." SPAIN. MADRID, JANuANA. - g 3. the preceding day, an important debate oc curred in the Cortes on the report of the Special Committee appointed to consider the affairs of America. It appears, that on the 19th of Jap., the Cortes, in a secret sitting, appointed a Com mittee of nine to take into consideration certain propositions on the affairs of America, which had previously been deliberated on in a Council of State. The. propositions were eight in number, and seem to have been intended as suggestions of different means which the Cortes might adopt for adjusting the differences between the American States and the mother country, The means thus proposed by the Government were— " 1. To conclude an_ armistice with thetrans-marine pro- vinces. " 2. To open a kind of judicature for adjusting grievances, consisting of Deputies from the provinces, and CommiSsioners from the Cortes. - " 3. To empower the Commissioners from the Cortes to suspend with respect to the ultra'-marine provinces, such arti. des of the Constitution as ihey may judge injurious to the said Provinces. 44 4. To suspend, with regard to America, the decrees relay five to the suppression of monarchical establislunents and pri vileges of the clergy. 5. To establish freedom of commerce between the Penin sula and .the ultramarine provinco. " 6. To concede to the said prarinces freedom of commerce with foreign powers, limiting the said intercourse to t►le period of six years: " 7. To settle the distribution of the common lands, not only near the towns, but in the interidt of the country, ac cording to a law passed by the last Cortes. " 8. To resort to the assistance of a foreign Power."—(A private letter states, that it has been proposed to transfer the rights of 'Spain over certain provinces for an equivalent.)".' The Archbishop of Seville was chosen presi dent of the committee, which it appears set ashle the propositions of the Government ; for the re port which was made in the sitting of the Cortes of the 24th recommended—" -That there should be sent to both Americas, Commissioners instruct ed to hear and receive. whatever propositions the • said Governments may make, and to trans mit the same to the mother country, in order that the Cortes may decide thereon, without prejudice, however, to measures.being taken by the Govern ment for receiving propositions from persons_ au.. thorized by the said Governments, and referring them to the Cortes." The Cortes proceeded to discuss this report, as we have stated, on the 27th. The Conde de Toreno, who had been a. member of the Com mittee and several Deputies, :supported the Re port. On the contrary, other Deputies strongly condemned it, though their opposition did not rest on the same grounds. Some thought the measure useless,• as. Commissioners had already been employed by the King to negotiate, with out producing any result : some 'were of opinion that sending Commissioners by the Cortes was conceding too much, as such a step was a virtual acknowledgment of the independence of the South American States : others were for recog nizing the independence of the provinces at once, and this course was proposed by Senor Golfin, the first speaker in the debate. Several proposed to leave the question to be decided by the next Cortes. The despatches of General O'Donoiti, giving an account of what he had done in Mexico, and stating the necessity in which he was placed of concurring in the declaration of independence by Mexico, was frequently alluded to in the de bate. It appears that the General's. despatches had been submitted to the Cortes by the Minis ters, but without explaining whether or not the Government approved his conduct: The debate lasted the whole period allotted for the sitting, and was adjourned to the following day. In the Sitting of the 26th a letter was read . from the Secretary. of State for the Transmarirte Department, in which he informed the Cortes that the King had appointed to discharge the duties of First Secretary of State the Marquis de Santa- Cruz, Grandee of Spain of the first class ; for the War Department, General Don .Jose Cren- fuegos; and, for the Finances, Don Louis Lo pez B.a.llasteros. With regard to the Ministry., a letter of the 28th states, that it was believed the King had, finally decided not to fill the places of those who had resigned ; at least till 'the separation of the present Cortes. In this case the Ministers, ad interim, would continue their functions till the beginning of March. The new Political Chief of Cadiz had arrived there, and entered on his office; and Seville was again tranquillized, the authorities appointed by the Government having been invited to .assume their rank. The news from the other provinces was favourable, and all things denoted a general return to order. We should not have noticed a contemptible and degrading circumstance - which occurred at Sunderland on Tuesday test, did we not feel convinced that it will be made the theme of exultation by the radical press—that press which delights in recording any insult that-is offered to a gallant soldier, or meritorious individual. Therefore to meet the exaggerations which we anticipate, we deem it necessary to lay before our readers the following statement of facts When Lord STEWART quitted the Golden Lion Inn about eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, he was assailed hy the groans and hisses of a mob, (either hired for the purpose, or ex cited by the falsehoods and misrepresenta tions of violent demagogues and unprincipled writers), who followed his carriage through the town, reiterating their unmanly and dis cordant yells. His Lordship, conscious of' his being unworthy of such treatment, appeared to tally regardless of the insults offered him, and proceeded on his journey with perfect sang "Told. We regret to say that the matter did not stop here, the mob were to do something, and as they lied failed in making the least impression on' his Lordship, they next proceeded to attack his friends, and Mr. WYATT, who was entering the door of the Inn, received a violent blow on the side from a brick-bat. Though at first much stunned, and not a little bruised, we.dre happy to find he is in a ,state of amendment. We un derstand, that . Some of the villains who were en gaged in .this outrage are known, and -we there fore hope, for . the credit of the town, that an example - will. be -Made of ' them.—(Durham Ad vertiser, Feb. 2.)
