The presentation of the Suffolk Agricultural pe tition, by Mr.Gooch. took place on Thursday last—it afforded the Marquis of Londonderry an opportunity for a coarse joke, which he embraced, and for which lie was submitted to the keen sarcastic reproof of Mr. Macdonald—a reproof which his Lordship's habits even did not steel him against, and he explained in apology for his ill-timed levity.—Ministers may joke, and do joke, and will joke, but they should remember that while a whole nation is reduced to beggary by their teal-administration the petitions of the people should at least be received with the appearance of seriousness and commisseration. The reduction in the number of the Lords of the Admiralty will carried into effect by the removal of one of the three lay Lords and one gallant Admiral who Las a seat ut the Board—to explain this would Lu difficult, if we did not know that the other two /ay Lords have seats in the House of Commons, and that the poor Admiral who goes to the right about, has no Parliamentary influence. The :7,ecial Sessions under the Insurrection Act eFened at Cork on the Ist instant, and at Limerick tl►e s 2 me day. On that and the following day 17 indivilindi were tried at Limerick, some on indict ments fur being " tumultuously and unlawfully a sscoiLkd," and others as being " idle and disor der:y.'"Thirteen were found guilty, and four ac quitted. Some of them who were found at a dis tance from home and apprehended with arms in their hands, were sentenced to seven years' transpor tation, and sent off immediately to Cork, where they were to be secured on board the hulks until the transports are seedy to convey them to Botany THE NATIONAL REGISTER, Bay. It is expected that this promptness in carry ing the Insurrection Act into force, will have at least a salutary effect on many of the insurgents, and keep them at home at night, at which time the chief excesses are committed by the Whiteboys.— Outrages, however, still continue, but nut to the extent stated in the Dublin Papers. Private letters mention, that some gentlemen's houses which were said to have been set on fire and destroyed, never were attacked, nor had they received the least injury whatever. Last week the premises of Mr. Parker, a respectable farmer near Tralce, were set fire to by a party of insurgents, and some cows perished in the flames. The following morning they were ex peditiously cut to picees by the wretched peasants, who carried off the pieces for their consumption, and to stfliml sustenance to their famishing families. The Limerick Chronicle states, that on Friday last, about seven o'clock, Henry Sheban, conveying the mail from Ratlikeale to Shangolden, and one escort of the 3d Light Dragoons, were fired at by some ruffians, who secreted themselves behind a hedge. Tbeir shots, if the report is true, were too success ful, as the postman and his horse were killed, and the dragoon wounded ; after which the robbers took off the mail. The shots were heard by the Police, and a detachment of the 42d regiment, who repaired to the place. Several individuals were taken into custody, who, if not concerned in the murder, will be tried under the Insurrection Act. In the neigh bourhood of Newmarket, in the County of Cork, the peasantry are giving up their arms, and return ing to a state of tranquillity. Letters have been received from New Orleans to the 6th of January, by which we have the follow ing:- Sr. AN - tor:4l, Drc. 4,—On the night of the Sd October, General Long, with 50 men, of all na tions, entered the town of Bahia, producing the greatest consternation by their horrid acts, (I hap pened to be there at the same time). They put to flight the sentinels, and took possession of the fort and artillery without opposition. As soon as intel ligence of this reached St. Antonio, the Governor dispatched Colonel Ignato Paris, %%kb 150 men, with orders to retake the place, and make prisoners of Long and his party. Ile arrived near La Bahia, and sent to Long requesting to see him, to ascetain the cause of hitt visit. Long met him, and sratcd his object was to establish the independence of these provinces. Colonel Paris replied, that their inde pend_•nce was already achieved, and not to give himself any further trouble, and demandel the giving up of the fort, Long would not give it up. At eleven o'clock (morning) Colonel Paris made the attack—a warm firing was kept up for 24 hours. Long's artillery did no execution, and he finally surrendered at discretion. Long and his party were brought prisoners to St. Antonio, .and from thence were sent to Santillio, to take their trial, as robbers and pirates. On Thursday evening, a messenger from France arrived in the greatest haste with dispatches, which were delivered to Lord Londonderry while at dinner at Eelimy's. His Lordship, who had not swallowed a couple of mouthfuls, had no sooner made himself acquainted with their contents, than he rose from table in apparent agitation, and proceeded to his office. It is unnecessary for us to offer any comment on this circumstance. An official return to an Order of the House of Commons states the quantity of gold sent in to his Majesty's Mint from the Ist January 1815, to the Ist January, 1822, at 412,6981b5. Sozs. 7drs.

Id. ------- - A letter dated Puebla (kingdom of Mexico), Nov. 30, says—" This country, after having rapidly ef fected a revolution, is now exposed to the greater danger of internal discord. There exist three dis tinct parties, each solicitous to . establish a different form of government. The first seeks to establish a republic; the second an empire, governed by an European prince; and the third an empire, with the General-in-Chief, Iturbide, at its head. Mean while, specie is extremely scarce, anti the troops ill paid. The Provisional Government has declared a tree trade with all countries.". ...".. .Z ._ A commissioner was sent out by government to New South Wales, in the latter end of 1819, or beginning of 1820, in consequence of statements transmitted home of mal-administration in that colony, in order to make an inspection into the situation of affairs there, to point nut abuses, and report on the best means of correcting them. The gentleman had a salary assigned him, of 3,0001. per annum, and also carried out with him a secretary or assistant, whose remuneration was to be on a scale proportioned to that of his principal. What investigation these gentlemen enteral into, and what services they perfOrmed in the colony of New South Wales, are yet a secret to the public; and we be. lieve, also, to their employers. They returned to this country in the beginning of last year, but we cannot learn that the report, which was the object of their mission, and with which it was to have terminated, has yet found its way into any of the government offices. In the mean time, the salaries, both of principal and secretary, continue to increase the pressure of the public burdens. One would not insinuate that the retaining them us long us possible has been the paramount motive of the parties; yet it is difficult to imagine such a list of abuses in New South Wales us should require twelve months to enumerate them, or even that a report on them might not have been prepared on the voyage home. A requisition is now signing, to request the Lord Mayor to convene a meeting of the Livery of Lon. don to consider the present distress of the country, and to petition for a reduction of the present griev ous burdens of taxation, and a reform in Parlia ment. _ _ For some days past the frequenters of St. James's Park, have been attracted by an ingenious machine, which raises a very long ladder,without any support at the top, on which a man mounts and stands, whilst he saws off the decayed branches of the lofty trees. _ _ _ Letters from Marseilles of the 24th ult. state, that very fresh advices had been received from the principal ports in the Levant, that tranquillity had been perfectly re-established, and hopes were enter tained of a speedy arrangement between Russia and the Porte. CAPTURE OP A SMUGGLING CUTTER..—The Agnes, of Flushing, a very fine new cutter, armed for the purpose of smuggling, was brought into Grimsby Roads on Friday last, by Lis Majesty's re venue cruizer Slag, Capt. Ferris, commander. This vigilant officer, after a chase of four hours off Whitby, succeeded, by superior management, in getting to windward of the prize, and coming within pistol shot, was on the eve of pouring in is broadside, when she struck. Her crew consists of twenty-three men; she has nine port-holes on each side, and her cargo originally consisted of fifteen hundred tubs of Geneva, the greater part of which she is supposed to have landed in the neighbourhood of the place where the Slag fell in company with her. After the capture. sixty-two tubs were picked up, having been thrown overboard in the chase. The Lord Chancellor, on Thursda) morning, in the Court of Chancery, delivered his judgment in the matter of Howard and Gibbs, bankrupts. His Lordship declared that the present choice of assig nees could not stand, and that there must be a new election; thereby confirming the judgment of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor. Letters have been received, rain America, front Santiago, of the 11 dr of February, stating that Guido was at present Governor of Calloa, and the the greatest tranquillity reigned at Lima. When the report reached that place of Contarac's approach funds to the amount of five or six hundred thousand dollars were embarked on board the shining at Ancon. Lerd Cochrane bad for some time been making every exertion to endeavour to procure money for paying off his sailors without avail ; up cat hearing the amount which was on board the differ ent transports at Ancon, he went in the O'Higgins, and forcinly took possession of the whole sum, not withstanding strong representations from the Gene ral, He immediately commenced paying off all the ships. Report says, he has not dared to put his foot on shore since. It is understood that the two junior Lords to be reduced arc Admiral Hotham and Mr K. Douglas. It is singular enough, that Ministers after what was said in the course of the debate on Friday night, should include a professional man in the reduct ion. Garroll, the Suffolk Champion, at a late fight having expressed his disappointment that he could not get a customer, cautiously challenged three men under his weight, or any 13 stone man in England, excepting Gas.—Shelton, well known in the pugi listic ring, like a true John Bull, thinking that tew words were soonest mended, though under Garroll's weight, has briefly accepted his challenge for a snug , hundred, and desires an answer on the day of his . benefit; and if 100 is too much, Shelton, to seem modate him, says he will meet him for 10 or 201. i They are both good men, and if the match is made, it will excite much interest among the lawcy. ~
