Meeting At Exeter.
A meeting was e alled at Exexter on Friday, to consider of the means of relfeving the sufibrers by the late storms. It was attended verr nuinerously by county and city gentlemen. The NAYOR was caUed to the chair. The ILORtD BISHOP rose to move a resolution, which he Raid was nearly, though not entirely, in conformity with the requisition. Of the duty of affording relief to the suffeiers by the recent calaenity, there could be no contrariety of opinion, though some slight diffeir- ence might exist as to the limits of their bounty. Their natural boun- dary certainly appeared to be tbat pointedl out in the requisition, "within the port or Exeter," (viz., from Seaton to Teiznmoutb)- but his rdstip hoped that loower would be given to tbe committee to extend relief in extraordinary cases to any places within twetuty miles of the coast-numerous individuals havlng suffered severely inland by the overflow of rivers. His Lordship moved a resolution accordingly, and communicated to the meeting that he had been re- uuetcd by Lord Viscount Exmouth to express his regret that the ill state of his health preven ted his attendance. E. P. Lyo2;, Esq., seconded the motion. J. BUtL.LERn, Esq., wishel to make the sphere of their benevo. lence co-extensive with the county itself, as by narrowing their ob- ject, they might probably throw somre checkfon the liberality of other parts of the county. Hew ould suggest the propriey of recomtmend- ing parochial collections, if it met the approval of the Right Reve- rend Diocesan. The Bassoi expressed hIi ready compliance, but said be could not encourage them officially by circular, as thir would be an en. croachmerit on His Aajesty's prerogative. Lord ROLLE could not withhold the tribute of his thbnkst to the meeting, on behalf of bis poor neighbsoars, forthe effbrts now making to relieve their sufferings and restore their comforts. Lord CLI'FORD said, he thought their efforts ought to embrace a wider field; and after some judicious observations in support of his opinion, his Lord-ship moved, as an amnendment, that they should extend as far (but be exclusive of) Plymoutl. M1r. BULLER seconded the amendmient. Sir TnOMfAS ACLAND said, the rmeeting would readily suppose that the words ' co-extensive with .the country" would meet with his cordial support, and he was. persuaded that the subscription would be far, more productive, if the amendment were adopted. The resolution was then extended to embrace the whole county. at which alteration Mr. Buller, lord Clifford, the Bishop, Lord Rolle, and M1r. Lyen expressed their.gratification. A committee was tbien appointed Tbanks were then moved to the Bishop, Mlr. Lyon, and the Mlayor, and a subecription immnediately commenced.-Exeter Ga- zette. jifRErIWrr AT EXETER.
