Tbe Devon County Meeting on the Agricultural
'Distress of the Country, wee held at Exeter on
:Friday. A report of the proceeding" is given in
our preceding columns. Earl FORTLECUI moved a
Petition to Parliament, attributing the diatrees to ex-
,cesoivet taxation, and praying a redaction is the public
expenditure.. It was carried unanimously. A claim
iu,favour of Parliamentary Reform was then moved
as • rider to the Petition, by the Hors. NEWTON
FILLO'WEE, and carried by a great majority. A
conuty meeting was also held et Hertford on the
'sew subject on Friday, at whiCh • Petition cow-
pleasing of the weight of taxation, and praying •
'rudaetioa, was unanimously agreed to, WC 0
aimeatimpst in favour of Perhomeetary Reftillia
was withdrawn. The Surrey Comity Meeting, uiran
the some subject, will be held this day at Epsom.
We confidently anticipate that the Petition and the
language will be to the same effect as those of the
several preceding county nieetrygs. There appears
now to be but oue opinion in the country respect-
ing the cause of its present distress and the cure.
An universal conviction previa' in the public maid
of the necessity of reduced imitation and public ex-
penditure. We du not see how Ministers can
.pt isibly resist a mill, am Ismdly and universally
preferred. -__
