On Fridayjaet, 4 Meeting of the' great Landowners and Far-
mers of Andovorand its vicinity took phice-at the George Inn, iu
that town, in pursuance of the following advertisement
At it Meeting at Andover, in the county' of Southampton, this day,
of the Owners and, occupiers of laud in its vicinity, convened for the pur-
pose of considering the present situation of the Corn Laws, it was re-
solved that a Anther Meeting should take place on Friday the 22d of Sep.
tember, at twelve o'clock at noon, at the George Inn, and that this reso-
lution be inserted in the liathonttar JOUVIAL and the HA MPAIIIRE
CHRONICLE; when all persons interested in the above question are re-
quested to attend. By order of the Ateetlng,
" Andover, Aug. H. " RICHARD BETH. COX, Chairman."
!It was suspected, from the obscure manner in which this ad-
vertisement was worded, as well as from the, infrequency,nl the
notice, that the Meeting was intended to be a'snug 'one,' in 'order
that the Landowners might have every thing in their own way;
and it was determined that, notwithstanding the known arbitrary
exercise of the prover of this sort of gentry in this part of the
country,' the• Farmers should oppose theni in any measure that did
not appear to be as good for the occupiers as for them., The fol-
loWing notice was sent round on the Morning the Meeting took
place,and had, theeffect.oCcrowding to excess the great room of

Amopgst those who, 84,4 the ,head of the room, were Sir John
?Oleo, one of the members for Andover ; Colonel Ironmonger,
Rev. Mr. Halton, the Rev. Mr. Hurd, Mr. TredgOld, Mr.
Kirsh, &c.

,
The was just about to commence, when, to the surprise
and amabyanie of several of the leading persons, in walked Mr.
Hunt. The farmers had gathered together in a thick crowd at
the end of the 'room, where they remained standing at a respect-
ful distance front their landlords al4 :.traces. It is necessary
to observe here, that those farm; wl o out of sight of
.the
tbrmidable body arrayed at the totilif im, displayed a great
deal more contradiction tlni'wasi manifested by those full in their
view.

'Cite meeting haVing taken place, agreeably' to the advertisement
in the. several pape!s, the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted, on'the motion of Sir J. Pullen, seconded by Colonel
ironmonger:—
•
" 1. That this Meeting is deeply impressed with the expediency of pe.
titioning the Legislature `against any alteration in the Corn Laws rela.
tive to the itrefOrtation of grain, of such a nature as may atlect or injure

lion, wittiregard to a free truths' in corn and-wool, should be persevered'
in, by Which the agriculturists would be deprived,
of that• protection so
•• necessary to theiraucetws. .
"it. That this Meeting cannot omit the occasion of observing, that
from the number of labourers out of employ, for whom do work adequate
to their suktentinee can be ibmid at the present reduced price of_ produce,
their expences must naturally. increase :unless souse relief be afftirtied to
the omniplers of land; and it is but jUstice to the labouring Out; to say,
that they have hitherto borne their privations with a becoming submis.
mission,:andeonduatthentselves In the most orderly manner.
" 3. That this Meeting begs leave to flitter widely from the sentiments
of those. peX64llB who havetrnagisied that any branch of the lower class of
people, and particularly the suttering class of manufacturers, have any
rennin to tribute their distresses to the 'present existing., Corn Laws;
on tlidcdntrary, it is their opinion that any plan lbr the introduction of
forelgli gem would so depreciate the home market, that whilst, it injured
the general agricultural Interest,' it Wrath' by no means a nerd to the ma.
nufacturors that relief which they have beeninduced to believe would
occrtte to them by the adoption of such a ineaStire.
• "4. • That this Meeting eontemplateti With sincere regret the present
situation of the wool market, thellepreiified state of which is such that it
actually ceases to relieve any proportional
part of the expences incident
to agriculture, . sted. on which the growers of wool. hate in a great nine.

'this Meeting, relying on the wisdom of Parliament, humbly
hopes and prays, that in the consideration of this momentous question
they will not lose sight of the general agtietiltural interest of the "king.
dom, the support of which, its forming a material*atutv. in' Its• ;C4104 tU-
lion, Is .o absolutely necessary to its welfare-and itappiriesi.
" In conformity to these resolutions, this
,Meeting .recommends that
'petitions be prepared to both 'louses of PutliMnent; end remain
: and When signed,
one part be sent to thotori,of.Malmesbury, requesting him to have the
goodness to present the same to the House of Lords ; and that the Mein,

to the Honourable the Commons name of Parliament."

Upon the :ration of gr. HEWICT Mantur, the petition,
ibumied upon these re.olutiong wati read. It %V the echo of
them,

'NO person having arisen to propose that the Ilea°intim; should
be adopted, Mr. MARSh expressed his surprise at the delay;
somebody, said he, surely will more.

Chairman, that those resolutions be adopted. Sir John then sat
down. . Here there was another pause. . • -

of caproditing'your laugh.)-4 cannot help ex.
pressing my astonishment at the feet, that in the year 1826, reao-
lotions should be brought forward, and a petition moved to the
ligialature for such a purpose as that which has been just pro-
fessed:.-•—that a het of landowners should!, at this time of day,
ask :the farmers to do—what? Why, to join them in support-
ing the principle of high rents.—(Hear, hear, from the fin--
niers; who were not within view.),--111 ask every one of those
farmers, whether he is not convinced, that when the Corn Bill
was jn thll force, ruin was going on rapidly. (Cries of " Yes,
yes," and applause). It has been well called a tax upon bread.
Sir John Pollen says, it is- terrible to see the poor devils auffering.
:Indeed, it is terrible; they are devils in suffering, at any rate.--
The limiest hard working peasant is tortured by want and naked-
ness,' and so far :the comparison is just ; but 'tloetrnot Sir John
Pollen know how to take him out of the abyss into which he has
sunk ? Let him and his brother landholders reduce their rents
-one half, and he will see what a powerful effect that will have in
a shirt ihne.--(Crieti of "he can't d 9 that ; it is impossible ;"
and Murrintring amongst the
,landholders.) Call upon the Govern-
rinint to reduce the taxes two-thirds (" Ay, that would be some-
thing," from' the landholders.) Sir John knew well What must
be done. He antittipated the measures of Ministers, because he
was aware that they could not help keeping open the ports. No
doubt it would not be done without a protecting duty, and if
they ,abolish, the torn-laws,, and adopt the principles of free
trade, without, at the same time absolving the farmer from his
leases, they will deserve to be impeached as traitors to their tutu,
try.—,-(Cheers).--Why is there any surprise expremed at the die_

land has been engaged for so many years; and which has swallowed

Mr. IfirwT said, the reduction of din; enormous tax upon the •

Here several of the Landowners requested that he would not
touch the subject of the Game Laws. •
Mr. 'HOW they had assembled together to devise the
means of relieving thoigriculturiti distresses. It therefore became
him to speak of the Game Laws. On those lands Where there
were great game preserves, the destruction of human food by hares
was dreadful. He would mention one instance. At NetherhavOn,
where there was a great game preserve, the propmy of Michael

The'CWALAMAN was then called uponto put the question, and
a difficulty arose as to who were entitled to vote.
Sir JonN Pun:tor—None can vote except the owners and occu-
piers of land. If all here are 'allowed to vote, we shall certainly
lose our petition.
Mr. here are interested. Look to your advertise-
ment. There is not a man here who does nut either eat bread,
or wish to eat laugh.) •
Sir Joux Pot.tirs, ,upon looking at the requisition admitted
that the introduction of the untbrtunate word a interested" left
them no alternative. If the amendment were carried, however,
he shoUld never sign it.
Mr. lltrwr—No; you need not do so at all. You can sign
your own If you' chonse, and present in to the noose, and perhaps
you can get the House to attend to it.—(A:laugh.)
A Landowner--Can we sign our own petition, and present it?
Mr. lloyr—To be sure you can. It is but a Petition after
all, and will have no effect one way or the Other there..---;

A Farmer at the end of the room.---" That can't be while the
empty-gut system goes on.
Sir Jowl Pottatx, upon looking over the requisition again.
said that he was of Mr. Halton's opinion, that the word " inte-

Mr. iftmr.l—Settle' it some wily, ftir God's sake. ' I dare say

lANCF SATURDAY EVENING, SIT. 23.

(FROM. OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
We have not observed any new feature in our mar-
kit since our report of Tuesday last, as to demand.
Prices, in almost every description of goods, are some
little improved ; and should the demand continue equal
to what, it has been for the last fortnight, there is every
probability that a further advance will be realised.—
Yarns continue in good request, both for the home
trade and for exportation. In heavy goods a fair busi-
ness has been done, and the country trade may be con-
sidered much improved.
The demand in cotton, has for the last ten days been
spirited, arid sale.r to a considerable extent have been
effected, at advanced prices ; a circumstance that has
given a powerful stimulus to our manufacturers.
