SECOND If REMO.
After the business had been regularly enntl,
hr. Nanny emus forward and infonmd the melding.
Shit they must begin anew, and go through aft the me-
lodestones mars before they gave their sanction to the
resolation in behalf of reform. He then read all the
resolutions, and snored that they be adopted as those of
the meeting.

Sir IL dsaLntrpseconded the motion.
The ikait Simone, before he pat the question. wag-
geeted to the tweeting the propriety of waiting few the
revere of Mr.Vo•th, and of seven' ;megaton who had
'quit* the bostiogs. He was isfonsed that Mr. Gooch
had been sent for, and In all probability would return
in a few minutes.
A passe of a few minutes occurred ; bat as Mr. Merit
id not make hie re-appearance. the High Sheriff pat
resolutions to the meeting: they were canted easel-
windely. and amidst the loudest cheering. Oa the MN-
eh fin favour of reran, being put, a Gentleman pew
pbsed that it should be carried with three cheers. The
peeitesitien was immediately acceded to.
- On the cheers subsiding. a fellow in the crowd moved,
thottitbree groans should he givea to the High Sheriff.
We need not say that this proposition was met with the
decided reprobation of the freeholders.
Mr. 11111111sT hoped that no symptoms of irritatioe
would be exhibited towards the High Sheriff, who had
only acted as he had done from a sense of duty. tie
respected the timeline** of the High Sheriff's character,
sod the boldness with which he had acted upon his *-
Woo of what was right. Besides, as be bad-gives them
an dpportunitv of canvassing the propriety and eape•
di.ncy of a reform in the House of Comusons, the thanks
of the meeting were certainly due to him. He (Mr.
Merest) trusted that they would not withhold from the
High Sheriff that mark of their approbation. which was
generally bestowed upon all alms presiding over pith-
lie meetings. He concluded by moving a vote of thanks
to Philip Bernet, Esq.. High Sheriff of the County of
Suffolk. for his conduct is the chair that day, awl for the
readiness with which he had weeded to the wishes of
the requisitionists, in calling together a Meeting of the
Cointy.—().'keen.)
Mr. Gatear seconded the resolution. It was carried
with only one or two distention voices.
The Htou Sassier shortly retuned thanks for the
honour bestowed twos him.
Mr. Messer Shea palmed the 10th resolution, which

SOUTH HAMS (O MINN) AGRICULTUR4I.
MEETING.
—rem—

A very wasnerous sad highly respectable Meeting
of the Owners and Occupiers of Lendsl is be popu-
lous and fertile district of the South Hams, in the
County of Devon, wis held at the Lion Inn, is Tot.
nes, on the 26th install., pursuant to a requisition g..
nerally edvertised for the occasion.
JASPIII PARROTT, Esq. of Dandridge. bail% Cad
to the Chair,
Mr. Cas.aans hitcnet.mone, on the beitali of the
Requisitionims, pro.lnced a petition for the consider-
ation of the Meeting, complaining of the existing dis-
tress, stating the cause to be chiefly the heavy taxa-
tion of the country; calling epoch Ministers for ems-
nomy—a diminution of the ditties en various articles
of constunpden—and for further protecting duties en

the importunion of foreign corn; and pointing oat to
the wisdom of the Legislature the propriety of es-
foreleg a contribution from the fundholder sad asa.
tudecterer towers the maintenance of tho poor; and
moved that such petition be adopted by the illerting.

Mr. THOMAS WHITIWAT seconded the motion.
Mr. F. B. Costmo briefly adverted to the causes of
_Agrlttatursl distress, and *hewed the fallacy of ex.
postiug relief from any further protecting corn duties.
In an immense debt, and eossequeot overgrows taxa-
don, might be found the real cause 66f the existing
alarming crisis. He recommended what be cossidersd
to be the only efficient remedies; an immediate repeal
of the invests on various articles of general use—the
most unsparing retrenchment and economy is every
department of the state—and the abolition of ail sine-
mires. Any further importation duties would be ab-
surd. Whenever corn should be imported from foreign
reentries. the hurdles of such increased dudes would
fall on the consumer ; and therefore the effect of such
imports would be merely the shifting the hurdles of
taxation from one class of society to another. There
was no doubt but that the greater proportion of our
'pretest evils might be truly traced to the defective
state of the Itepreseatstles. It was rumoured that
the X kiloton were shoat to attempt to resew a Prim
'perty Tax of twu sad 4 half pee cent. Hew that
would relieve the landholders. be was at I 4111 10 COD'
