of the greatest importance that the troo, s should

NORONA,

To THE EDITOR Of 7'IIE s P.ITESMIN.

Sia,—ln my Letter of the 20th ult. I told you,
that the Meeting which was convoked by the worthy
Vicar of this palish (he certainly is entitled to the
epithet, and, what is singular, his name, LEwi,
Tay, imports it), was self-attended, which,
talply was not the case; and yet I will
that my' honest neighbour, wh• told
_ .

though he said " the thing that was nut," Wu
tell a lief fur when ht., attended at the Ruse Int.,
about half-past 11 o'clwk, the Reverend Gentle-
man was certainly sulus, and as the weather was then
very bad, he took it fur granted that the matter was
at an end, and therefore, Mr. Edivort, I trust to
your candour to acquit me of an intention to im.
pose on you, or your Readers ; In fact, the Meet.
ing was not only not self, but a little time before
the usual dinner hour, was very fully attended, as
appears by the Resolution of Adjournment, which
was signed by the HIGH Sncitire (a great land.
owner in, with an eye to the honour of represent.
ing, the County), 11 Esquires, 37 Gentlemen (I
presume so, for " Mr," precedes each Christian
name), and only three Parsons, a paucity which,
in this county, where the Court of General Quar.
ter Sessions is denominated 44 The Rookery," is
truly astonishing; and particularly so, as it is well
known, and almost amounts to a propose adage
(something very like it is to be found in Scripture),
that where the good things of this wsrld are to be
found, there the black gentry congregate in vast
numbers.

As promised to give you the result of the ad.'
jaunted Meetiug, I rode with my neighbour in h's
cart to Cambridge-market, but, before I reached
the scene of action, I was crediblil informed that
the Meeting, which was called for the' express pure
pose of petitioning the KING in Council (I would
they could hare done so) was, on account of the
present state of his MAJESTY'S health, which all
his subjects unfeignedly deplore,.ailjourned sine die.
This being the case, Mr. Paiute, my correspon.
deuce with you must here cad ;. nor would I have
troubled you now, hecii oat been greatly flattered
by your approbation of it, and equally anxious tq
assure you that I catinist, On any account, forfeit
my word. However, its I sincerely hope that the
Meeting will dot be re-convoked without good
grpuads, 'ix. the realty lore price of bread-corn, j
cainot.lay down my pen,without observing,that the
farmer, (the ninths"; fortundti kricoli of the pre.
sent day) are either bad politicians, or a covetous
.sct of blockheads, for it seems that they would
(I one sure Mr. LEWORTHY would not), fur
the sake of filling their pockets with rectified
rats (pardon the expression), alias Bank-notes,
willingly consign the whole physical strength
of the country to the Dail ; for sure I am (and
so Government thought when theGi,/*Aet passed),
that'lltO 'constant use of bpirits will not only de.
stray the healthy but certainly and speedily subvert
the morel., of the tower classes of the community,
and to which they will necessarily resort, seeing
that BEER, the natural beverage of Englishmen, is
not only become very nauseous, and but little, 4
very little, short of , slow poison.
