HARYIXT.—In the neighbourhood of Maidstone
some small patches of Wheat began to be cut last week.
In the neighbourhood of Ross, Barley was cut last
meek, and the crops are remarkably fitment! abundant.
In many situations the Wheat is tit for the sickle, and
iu spree we hear the harvest has already commenced.
We never recollect the Wheat-crops so heavy in the
grain, so clean, and so fine in appearacce, as they are
at present.—(Briatul Mercury).

LORD JOHN RUSSELL.
Friday sentlight, a most numerous and high'y re-
spectable Meeting of the Freeholders of the Camay.
was held at the George Inn, in Huntingdon. to celebrate
the return of Lord John Russell, as their Representa-
tive in Parliament. Lord Sondes in the Chair.
After the cloth was removed, the Noble Chairman
proposed—
" The King., anti my be never forget the principles
that placed his family on the Throne."
This was received with acclamation, and the band.
which was in attendance, immediately played tl.e Na-
tional Anthem of " God save the King.'
The next toast proposed from the Chair was—
" The Queen; and may-that justice be extended to
her, which the laws do nut deny the meanest of her sub-
jects."
This toast was received pith long continued shouts of
applause.
" Lord John Russell, and the cause of Independerce.
and freedom of election."
Shouts of bravo and applause rung the tables for se-
veral minutes.
Lord Jour; Russia:. rose, amid e ted cheese. and
spoke as follows;--" Gentlemen, the honour of meeting
so numerous and respectable an assembly—thus met to-
gether for the purpose of celebrating the return of an
humble individual to Parliament, but still, however, con-
neeted with the great cause of freedom, revives that
gratitude in ney heart, which I first felt, when we befare
had met together—(Applause.)—lt is difficult for me to
put forward any claim, why I am one of the Repre.e7 -
tatives on whom your choice should fall. But as thira
are only great and small by comparison, I can ass-r.•
you your representation is not now as it formerly was -
prostituted for the official patronage of administration - -
(applause)—on condition of supporting measures at itaa
time directed against the property, at another tint
against the liberty of the subject—(cheers)—and at si
most all times in defiance of those duties which v.v.,.
Representatives owe to the Constitution. In louitina
over the events of the last short Session, the first think
that occurs to my mind, is the attempt—the 'taro -
cessfal attempt which was made to limit the expec•
ditnre of the Crown. Another was the exposure of om
of those infamous jobs which the Ministers are too otter
detected in promoting—an. occasion on which I had
the happiness of seeing the name of your other Repre-
sentative. Mr. Fellow's, in the minority [applause, • a:-'
only one r].—This is. gentlemen, a conduct which slims
you, that no soil is so dry and unpromising, but that
with proper care and industry, it may display itselt
where the springs of patriotism may be found. It avoid
be useless for me to enter into a detail of the other
measures that occurred, as they were all swallowed ea
in that attention which the Parliament and the coutory
were called on to bestow—l mean the accusation pre•
fermi against her Majesty the Queen [hear, Israel !t
is to me, gentlemen, a matter of deep regret, that Ow
question was ever brought before the consideratiott :if
Purliament [applause.] And I attrihnte its beina
brought before them at all—to that betrayal of the:a
duty on the part of Ministers—which, according to thei:
own avowal, principally originated with those reimela
which reached their Royal Master's ear from Italy. I
do not mean to say the 'Queen may not have incurred
'some blame in giving rise to those reports. But still
the natural feeling of all properly organised minds 1.
to give moat praise to those females of whom ire hear
the least, that is calculated to effect their fame. Who
knows. however, that the Queen might not have !wen
watched by those who songlit to gain a pecuniary advat,.
tare from their reports, and that, perhaps, in proem-Ina
to the magnitude of the charges brought age net I er
Thew reports, it appears, were made, and when they
had reached England. the duty of Ministers would have
been to have said to their Royal Master—fiat, if it warp
right to have the question brought forward as hetwee:,
private persons, to see if accommodation could not hat,
been effected without a compromise of the digaitv d-
one or the power of the other, anti to press upon Tithe,
the treatment practised towards her Majesty when she
was first married, and pursued with the same spirit evict
since—to .urge the full recrimination, which public
investigation might produce; and if, under all their
circumstances, to weigh well, whether it were prudes:
to agitate in public so momentous a questiou [hear,

have been practised—some pity is still due to her eon.

feelings and wounded pride ; hot to sem up all—the
conduct of her Majesty, as it is represented to us to he,

Did Miuia;era thus address their Sovereign ? Did they
abate, or endeavour to abate those feelings of their
Royal Master J No, the Minis7ers did no sad; thing
