MEETING OF LANDLORDS AT

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

WARWICK.

A seecial
- I.:>:eeting of the influential owners and occupiers
° . .dnu, connected with the Warwickshire Agricultural Asso-
elation, was held at Warwick on Saturday last, at twelve
o'cloelt. The object of the meeting was to take into consi-
deration the propriety of petitioning Parliament for a conti-
nuation of the existing Corn-laws.
Among other gentlemen present, the Right Hon. the Earl
of Warwick, the Earl of Aylesford, Sir Joshua Mordaunt,
Bart., M. P,, Sir John Brown Cave, Bart., E. J. Shirley,
Esq., M. P., 1.1. C. Wise, Esq., M. Wise, Esq., J. Boulthee,
Esq., E. Greaves, Esq., the Rev. Messrs. Boudier, J. C.
Roberts, and Hadow, Messrs. Umbers, Chapman, H. Robbins,
Barclay, Craddock, W. Hodgson, Fleming, Wallington, Wjr-
thington, Lucas, &c.
The Earl of WArtwicx, as President of the Assceiation,
took the chair. In the course of his speech he said be thought
the course which the own-rs and occupiers of land were called
toopitnaiknen,at
itnhsetepardeseonf present
emnotemreinnzt wiansto n
a eery simple one ; in his
of the numerous
points alluded to by Sir Eardley Wilmot, that meeting
ought to confine itself to a petition against the reso-
lutions adopted in the Manchester Chamber of Com-
merce, which they all knew were of a character fatal to
their prosperity, as either proprietors or cultivators of the
soil. If any steps were ultimately adopted by which specific
alterations were attempted to be made in the present laws,
then those in this county interested in the agricultural question
might re-assemble for further discussion of the subject in all
its details. Ile would beg to remind them that, in the course
of last year, Lord Melbourne stated that, in his opinion, the
Corn laws had worked beneficially, that he should be sorry to
see any change introduced, and that the Government would
propose none unless the opinion of the country was manifested
in its favour. Now Lord John Russell, in answer to a commu-
nication from his constituents at Stroud, in his individual capa-
city, expressed himself favourable to a moderate fixed duty.
Thus the Premier expressed one opinion, and the Home Se-
cretary another; they could not depend then upon any thing
like support from the Government.
After a few words from one or two other gentlemen, the
following resolutions were adopted :
" 1. That this meeting feel considerable alarm at the pre-
sent attempt to repeal the Corn-laws, which measure it con-
siders would be totally subversive of the agricultural interest,
as well as injurious to all other classes.
