AGRICULTU&AL DiPTRTSS.
A meeting of the inhabitants of the.county of South-
ampton, called by the Magistrate., the High Ahertli hay.
lag refuses en to do, was held ou Saturday. at Wit c tes-
ter. The meeting took place at twelve o'clock; a very
large number of Freeholders had assembled in the Castle
yai'd. Among the persons assembled we noticed M.
Cobbett ; his appearance attracted a crowd.
At 12 u'edock, Sir 'l': Haring, attended by several goal
tlemen,ent,red the Grand Jury Roont in the eastle, from
the windows of which it is usual to address the budy_of
the pen?le who stand in the yard below.
At this time there most have been at least n ar 8.009
persons present, and certainly we never witnessed a
mare respectable ore more orderly meeting.
Mr. Cobbett took his station at a windoei to the right
of the Chair, and Mr. Hunt stood nearly behind hint.
Mr. Cobbett having looked to:lnd-caught the eye of
Mr. Hunt, who regarded him with a fixed conntenanem
Mr. Cobbett at length smiled ; Mr. Hunt returned the
smile. This was the only mark of recognition which we
observed between them, except the allusions, made by
Mr. Hunt in the course of his speech, to former acquaint-
ance, 111-meattnent, false friends, &c. . .
Among the gentlemen present, we noticed Sir J. W.
Gardiner, Hart. Sir C. Mill. Hart. Mr. Jervoise, M. P.
Mr. Fleming, M. P. (both for the county), Mr. Knight.
the present High Sheriif, Mr. Long. air. Greene. Mr.
Ricketts, Mr. Butler, the Rev. R. Wright, Mr. Budd,
Mr. !lathy, Mr. Nunez, &c.
It was unanimously voted, on the motion of the Rev.
Mr. Wright, that Sir Thomas Haring, who was at the
bead of the Magistrates who called the meeting, should
take the Chair—(Applause )
Sir 'Futuna% ilaatsm said, that the very flattering
manner in which the proposal of his honourable friend
had been received left him nu option; he felt bound to
obey the call of the Meting, and endeavour to discharge
to the best of his poor abitity the important duties of
his situation without fear, or favour, or partiality.—(Ap-
plause.) If he rectived their co-operation and support,it.
would be to him not only a high privilege, bat a source
of gratification, to be placed in such a situatioo as that
he had then the bo-.our of tilling. Indeed, he would dr.
cline no place, he would shrink from no duty whiCh
would give the inhabi'ants of the county en opportunity
of asserting and maintaining one of the most hupurtant
duties of their violated rights an 1 privileges (cheers).
tint of laying before the Legislature a statement of the
grievances under which they laboured.—(Applause.)—.
The fate Hizit Sheriff of the county hall refused to call
a Meeting of the county.—(Cries of "shame.") He
wished not to impale motives to that honourable gentle-
man, or to any other individual, it was safficient for him
(Sir T. Baring)to know what his own motives w.f....and
to take cure that he was actuated by right prin,iples
(clovers); with him it always argnril either a want of
printiple, or a weakness of intellect, to attack the private
character of any individual, and therefore he withsd to
abstain from tieing sot hot at the same lime, as an
Englishman, hie a 0110, viewing the refusal of the
late High She as a miblic measure, to observe upon it,'
and he Mild not do so in terms of too strong reproba-
tion.—(cheers.)• lie could only characterise it as the ex-
ercised a little briefatuliorly, to prevent the inhabitants
I free meeting,inr the per Pose of their most undoubted
right, the right of petitioning for relief.—(Applause.)—
The Requisition which • had been presented to the
High Sheriff was signed by upwards of- five thousand re-
apectable owners and occupiers of land in the county.—
If it contained the name of no one opulent or extensive
landholder (vies of " it did"), it it did nut, still it had a'-
niched to it the names of five hundred owners and occu-
piers of land, men as respectable in their situa ions as
were to be found in any county in England ; and he con-
tended, that a refusal to comply with such a Requisition
was •a violation of the delta and lib wties of the people.
(Applause). It was s 4
t; that a meeting of the County
might he productive of disorder and tumult; Ite'denied
the fact, it was a libel upon the the roomy and open the
people of England generally to say, that they were prone
tb tumult and to riot—(hear, hear).—fie was ready to
aamit, that occasionally ebullitions of feeling were ma-
nifested by the people, but when:—when they were op-
pressed, when they were overburthened, when they were
denied the enjoyment of their rights and privileges.—
These ebullitions-of feeling were however transient and
evanescent; and when the evil was removed, it was al-
ways found that the irritation which it produced, at once
disappeared. He called upon them to look to what W 36
going on in this and other countries, in opposition to
public liberty; let them consider the blood which had
been shed to establish oar freedom, and it would stimu-
late them to exert themselves for the preiervation 01
that, which, fronee lost, would impose a hard struggle
upon posterity to regain them. He might ask iathe
words of the Port
" What constitutes a State?
Not high rais'd battlement or Moored mound,
•
Thick wall ur mowed gate ;
Not titles proud with spires sud turrets crowled ;*
Not bays and broad arsn'd ports,
Where laughint, at the stunt', rich navies ride ;
Nat steed and spangled courts,
Where low broiled baseness wafts perfume to pride.
No—meatbigh minded men,

. . . . . . .
Who know their rights and knowing dare nisintain."
[cheers]. The corrupt, state-of the representation was the
foundation of all the evils of which the country now
complained (hear, hear !). Let him not be misunder-
stood (lion this point. The Reform which he wished se
establish, would go certainly to the entire ernalicaiion of
the corruption of this House of Commons (Mr. Mut.
" very %ell, rib one viViirs to go any^ further"). There
were:hlis ever, persons who entertained different opinions
upsn the
specious and plansibie, and the more calcu:ated to
make an ionpresehn, became tbsir. tendency, thong%
pregnant with evil, was not to he perceived (near, bear,
hear!). Such dootrinen Levould not, he never did, and
be trotted lie never would advuefte (hear, hear !) lie
could go en tar hours pointing out the evils which Par-
'lamasery corruption hod drawn npun the ennntry; but
he felt.that it was not his province to do so. He bad on-
ly to thank the meeting for the very kind, patient, and
attentiv.rhe wine which they had given him.
