MEETING IN HAMPSHIRE ow THE CORN LAWS.

Friday a Meeting of the great Landowners and
Farmers of Andover and its vicinity toil place at the
George Inn, in that town; for the purpose of petitioning
Parliament to continue the Corn Laws in their most
rigid operation ; but scarcely had they assembled, when
Mr. Hunt and Mr. Marsh entered the room.

Sir JOHN POLLEN propose.] a string of Resolutions,
declaring that nothing but the Corn Laws could relieve
Ole agricultural distress, and praying that no regula-
tions should be adopted by the-Legislature calculated
to establish a free trade in Corn and Wool. _

Mr. HUNT pressed S;r John to make a speech upon
the subject ; wheteupon the lion. Baronet repent-d
some of .the topics of the Petition founded on the Re-
solutions.

Colonel I sounoseta, who seconded the propedtion, could not be
prevailed upon to say a word.
Mr. MA RSH then objected to the resolutions, approved
of the suspension of the Corn Laws, and ascribed the
existing distress to the conduct of the late Parliament, in
" tampering" with the circulating medium, and in
adopting other measures of a well known injurious
tendency.
Mr. HUNT attacked the freeholders, and assured the
farmers, that the landlords did not care a pin about
their interests or their feelings, and made them screw
up the poor, in order that they might be enabled to pay.
exorbitant rents to themselves. Eventually, a petition,
directly in the teeth of that which had been originally
proposed, was agreed to almost unanimously.
Mr. HUNT then moved a vote of thanks to the Chair•
man, and the other Gentlemen who had called them
tngeiher, and but for whom they could not have bad
this opportunity of expressing their sentiments upon so
important a subject.
The motion was carried amidst laughter and cheers. This was
the fret public meet* ever held at Andover within the anistry
