Last night, in the House of Commons, the inquiry re specting the conduct of the Sheriff of Dublin began, and kept on till nine at night. There is to be three days of the week for this work. The other three days for other work.—The inquirydid not go far last night; but some thing very material occurred before it began. Our read ers will bear in mind that the charge against Mr. PLUN )(Err was, that, in filing his ex-officio information, in o►der to get at people who had been acquitted by a Grand Jury, he bad done that which had never been done before. This was the heaviest part of the charge against him. It has now been proved, that the very same thing was dore twelve years ago, by Mr. PLUNKETT'S predecessor, Mr. SSURIN !—This has operated greatly to the relief of Mr. PLUNKETT.—The state of Ireland is quite horrible to think or ; bat we must confess that we expect very lit tle good to be done by this inquiry. There is one con solation; a dismal one it is, to be sure; and that is, that no inquiry; or any thing else, can make things worse. EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENT. On the nth of this month LORD FOLKESTONE is to make a motion for the appointment of a Committee upon this subject. In the meanwhile, LORD STANHOPE has incidentally brought the matter forward in the House of Lords, upon presenting the Petition of Mr. CHARLES ANDREW Tuomsoar, which was presented to the House of Commons by LORD FOLKESTONE in the Month of March. This speech of LORD STAN HOPE is worthy of tl'e greatest attention from the public. Here his Lord ship challenges those, who have abused the proposition for an equitable adjustment. He challenges them out into the field of argument : and be very justly reproves them for their abuse of that which they cannot con trovert. Here his Lordship shews what has been done in Austria; what was formerly done in Scotland; what was done in England in the reign of Queen Elizabeth ; and, he very justly concludes, that real revo lotion must take place, unless this adjustment be adopted. His Lordship laments that the attention of the Parlia ment should be drawn off by the French and Spa- Maeda. The fact is, however, that it has been much more drawn off, by the rise in the price ofgraix. which by the stock-jobbing press, and by a full ninety-nine hundredths of the people, who join their faith upon that share of the press, is looked upon as a complete proof that the change in the value of the currency has had nothing nt all to do with the lowering of prices! The following article, from one of the stock jobbing papers, may serve as a specimen of the means by which the public are deluded. " To the best of our remembrance, Mr. Peel's Bill comes " into full operation today ; if we are not mistaken, Mr. " robhett said in his Register, that he would submit to be " broiled on a gridiron if it ewer took effect. Peel's Bill, " must be repealed,' said Mr. Cobhett ; but then that prog- " nostication was accompanied, we believe, with some ifs ; " what the nature of those Ifs were, re cannot exactly call " to mind.-IC.B. Our Mark-lane correspondent of yester " day. states that the very hest Wheat was as high as 06s. " the quarter, or Se 6d. the b,uhcl, which is an advance be " yond Mr. Cobbett's prognostications of more than 100 " per cent. Our Mark-lane correspondent adds, in a pri " rate communication to us, that some Quakers, who all " along believed the very opposite of what Mr. Cobbett " promulgated through the memos of his Registers, have " made some remarkably lucky speculations in Grain and " Flour." In the first place, part of the interest of the debt has been :pinged off, give what name they will to the five per cent. transaction. So that, the Bill does not go into full extent, according to the terms of the prophecy. Then again, the Bill put au end to all small notes of the Bank of England; it put an end to all these small notes on the first of this month of May. This part of the Bill has been repealed; for an Act has hien passed to enable the Bank of England to issue small notes for ten yaws longer. So that the Stock-Jobber is mistaken as to a falsified prophecy ; certainly, at this moment, if there were no small Bank of England notes, there would be universal confusion. Those notes are out to the amount of millions. They still form a large part of the cue rency ; and though they be not now a legal tender ; the public do not know that ; and will not know it for a con siderable length of time.—Any man may now go to a Country Banker and demand gold in exchange for the Country Banker's notes; but a hundredth part of the people do not yet know this; and there must be some thing to alarm them a little, before they will know it.— But, the great subject of exultation is, that there has been a hushe4 of wheat sold for eight and sispenre, when I foretold it would be below four shillings after the first of May.—The stock•jobbing press takes care to for get that I always took care to pot in the seconds: 6' on an average of Seasons: barring the untoward Seasons." And who does not know that the Farmer may be worse off with wheat at Bs. 6d. than with wheat at 4s. ? If he has only one bushel of wheat instead of two and a half, is he not injured by the rise of price oc casioned by his scanty crop. The long and severe win ter; toe destruction of the turnip crop; the devouring of hay and corn, instead of turnips and grass the very backward spring; the most untoward season ; all taken together ; the appearance (till within these few days) of such backwardness in the wheat as to make a late has vest inevitable; all these things would, ten years ago, 'have made the wheat from twenty to five-and•twenty and thirty shillings a bushel. Add to this an enormous speculation, in wheat particularly, in consequence of an war. That expectation is a great deal was : but hope does a great deal. The expectation of fainter than it 1 • THE STATESMAN. prayers of the righteous are said to do much also ; and - the Quakers hope and pray for war without ceasing.— The debates in Parliament , have a great deal of effect upon prices just at this moment; the wheat fell at Mark Lane yesterdayffee shillings a quarter. About half-a crown of this may be ascribed to the issue of Mr..lll'Do nald's motion; and the other half-crown to this blessed sun, which the Quakers must curse most heartily, Let the Parliament continue to resolve to stand most gal lantly by and see the French take possession of Spain ; and let us have this sun, or something like it, for about three weeks, and I pledge myself that the Quakers will not hare to congratulate themselves npon their specula tions. However, the bare circumstance of a rise of priceis, sufficient to cause the ruin of many thousands of farmers. —They will think that things are coming about ; and even if the wheat fall down again to its lowest pitch, they will think that things may come about; and that the currency has nothing to do with the matter. It is monstrous, to be sure, to believe this ; but we must be.' lieve it, for we see the proof of it every day. The man that brings a wretched lamb to Smithfield, and sells it for twice as mach as lie sold a tine lamb for last year, does not reflect, and will not reflect, that it has cost him more than to ice as much as the tine lamb cost him last year. He nil! not reflect how much worse his land is than it was last year, arising from causes which have enhanced the price of his lamb. He will not reflect on any thing of this sort, nor even upon the number of lambs that he has lost from the severity of the weather. He went reflect in this sort of way: the high price pleases him ; and he think.' that things are coming about. Thousands upon thousands will be ruined in consequence of leases taken last Lady Day, upon the presumption that things are coming about.—A rise of price at this time of Me year, followed by a fall of price after the harvest, is dreadfully ruinous to the farmers in general. Those oho have something left to sell; those who can hear that sweet concert, "two flails and a cuckoo even those gain nothing by such a rise ; for they must pay for labour, through the hay-time and the harvest according to that rise. What ruin, then, to those who have no corn left to sell ; to those, who have to pay high wages to get in a crop that is to be sold at a low price, and who have sold their former crop at that low price.—The rise of prices has quite staggered the Farmers ; has made them not know what to think about their own affairs. Three weeks good warm weather, and every appearance of a continuation of peace, will put them to rights again ; but, perhaps, the complete blow-up and the general outcry may not take place for nine or ten months. Next January, however' which was the time that I always pointed out as bring ing the thing to trial, will let the stock-jobbing press see what my prophecies are made of. War speculations can have an influence only for a time ; and as to the relief which short crops bring, that relief must differ but very little from rain. To the equitable adjustment we must come, or to convulsive revolution. Lord Stanhope has moat ably described the state of the case, and lie is euti tied to the thanks of every man in the kingdom. Dutch and Hamburg mails have been received this morning. An article from Vienna, dated April 14, says —" It is reported that M. Le Tatisebef will shortly re• turd to St. Petersburg. Nothing has transpired relative to his negociations. We now hear nothing of the de parture of the King of Naples. It is said that he will wait here for the result of the war with Spain, which will doubtless be soon ended." An article dated Tunis, March 22, (extracted from the Danish Commercial Ga. zette, states that Tunis has concluded a treaty of peace and commerce with the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, by which that State is to be placed on the same footing as the most favoured nations.---Besides the merchan dize of nriotts descriptions imported in the ships of different nations, we are shocked to learn by this communication that a Sardinian vessel brought Christian slaves from Smyrna ; and what still more ex cites our shame and indignation, that an English vessel is stated to have conveyed Christian slaves from Constan tinople ! The article proceeds to state that several Chris tians at Tunis have in vain interceded to mitigate the fate of the Christian slaves. But very lately an Eu ropean ship arrived there with 100 Turkish soldiers from Smyrna, who had with them twenty Greek children and four women as slaves. This ship, like the preceding with similar cargoes, was escorted by a frigate of the same nation, as far as Smyrna. An article, dated Smyrna, March 11, from the Oriental Spec tator, says that the week before, notwithstanding the vi gilance of the police, a Greek was killed, and three wounded: the neighb)uring villages have likewise felt the effect of the levy of troops, and their passage. Fear and alarm have succeeded the tranquillity previously en joyed. The Greeks were quite retired, or retreat into their houses, as soon as the arrival of• a Bayrak is an nounced. The evening previous to the date of the ar ticle, the Pacba received, by an express from Constan tinople, the firman which confirms bite for another year in all his offices; the Turkish populace testified their satisfaction by firing pistols, &c. The Oriental Speetatur, which is strongly prejudiced against the Greeks. pretends that the corps of 160 men, taken to the Morea by Kephallos of Olympus, is broken up, and the greater part of thews returned to Europe, cured of the illusions which had seduced them, and made them inconsiderably quit their country. This paper, of which the numbers hare been re ceived up to the end of March, does not yet mention the surrender of Corinth, which, according to the Alipmeine Zeit nag, took place on the Itith of Feb. French papers to the let instant have arrived, but without bringing any important news that can be relied on from the army. The Journal des Del oats asserts that Saragossa is taken, though the news is not official." The fact is that neither the Noniteur nor the Etoile re peat it, though the report had been current on the Es change, and was said to have proceeded from the Court. Private letters say that Mina had concentrated his forces on the right bank of the Ter, in Catalonia, but that be would soon move to the Ebro. In that case the French, if they have occupied Saragossa, may be soon compelled to abandon it. It is stated that the head-quarters of the airily will remain at Vittoria, till the sth of May, and that the operations for advancing will not recommence till after that period. The age and state of health of ' Marshal Mousey, it is said, still not allow hint to sup- ME- port the war in Catalonia ; and that the Duke de Bel- Inn° will take the command of that part of the French army that is to act in that part of the Peninsula.

The print. letters from the above Capital state, that Sa. ragossa, was taken on the 26th ult.: but do not bring any further information of consequence. A report still prevails that a negociation is on the lapis, between France and Spain, and that our Government will be the arbi. trators. FORCON Ft:NOS.—Great bustle and much business were going on this morning in the foreign market. New Spanish Bonds opened at 3JI, and rose to 36,-out went down again to 352. The cause of this sudden rise in the above Stock is not exactly known. Some persons attribute it to the great scarcity of the above Stock, and others to a pending negotiation between France and Spain.

It being generally understood that his Majesty was so much better, the inquiries ceased yesterday. The King has been graciously pleased to confer the Grand Military Cross of tiuelph on the Earl of Fife. A letter from Spain states, that the French have put the town of Vittoria antler contribution of 5,000/. sterl ing, notwithstanding all their promises to the contrary. M. San Miguel, who commands at Figueras, and whose noble answer to the summons of Marshal Moncey has ex cited such universal admiration and interest, is the elder brother of the Minister. His name is Santos San Miguel, and not Sauty, as given in sonic of the papers of yes terday. It is generally reported in the City that a letter has been received by the Levant Company from his Majesty's Prin= cipai Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the contents of which entitle the Right Honourable Secretary to the grati tude of the friends of the liberties and civilization of the descendants of the ancient Greeks. During the whole of the contest betwixt the Christian and blahonsedan inhabitants of what is falsely denominated European Turkey, it Is known that several English Gentlemen have been found to violate the Grecian t lockadee. and to supply the Turkish armies with all the necessaries requisite for the subjection of the Christians. Latterly repeated complaints have been made to his Majesty's Government on this subject, and the conse quence has been a letter from Mr. Canning to the Levant Company, enjoining them, as rumour says, to direct all their Consuls in the Levant to observe the most strict neutrality in the contest betwixt Christian Greeks and Mahomedan Barbarians. The last accounts from Pottugal stated that Amarante had been driven into Spain (the kingdom of Leon), and that, according to treaty, the Portuguese army were al lowed to pursue him off the Spanish Territory. It would not be impossible, therefore, that the Pursuers should fall in with his Protectors, and that the first serious en gagement which took place in Spain should be fought between the Portuguese and the French. At all events, this pursuit wFII have unintentionally brought • strong division of the Portuguese army close to the seat of war t where it may render imp ortant services to the cause of the Peninsula. If, as it is highly probable, and as it is generally believed in Portugal, the French Ultras excited Arnarante's rebellion, in order to prevent that kingdom from being able to help Spain, the effect will have been directly the reverse, and the attempt of the traitor will only have served to cause an earlier muster of the Por tuguese forces, and a more rapid advance towards the seat of action. According to arrangements made at the Quartermas ter-General's Office, the King's Dragoon Guards are to move from Manchester, Sheffield, and Nottingham, in June or July next, for Scotland, and to be replaced by the Royal Diagooos, from Cambridge, Ipswich, and Noi wich. The town of Liverpool was on Wednesday placarded with handbills, offering a bounty of 41. for recruits who might be disposed to enlist for the Colombian service.— In consequence of this information, Government has sent off directions to have the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act carried into effect against any individu als who might be guilty of a breach of its enactments.— This Act makes it a misdemeanor in persons either en listing or persuading to enlist into the service of any Fo reign Power. The Beef Steak Club of Dublin had their fourth din ner this season in Dublin yesterday se'tiniglit. The Mar quis Wellesley and Lord Manners were present. These two distinguished personages mutually expressed them selves in a spirit of kindness and conciliation towards each other. Lord Manners, on returning thanks to the company for drinking his health, said the presence of the Marquis was not only an honour, but also an act of justice to the Society. His Lordship also took occasion to observe, that the concord of sweet sounds, and not the discord of politics, was the object of the Society. PORTSMOUTH, May I.—We are gratified to learn, that there is a certainty of his Majesty visiting our port du ring the summer. He will embark in the Royal George, the officers of the Apollo being appointed to her, and the officers of the Royal George have most of them other ap pointments. The mooring ordered to be laid down will be at Spithead, Cowes, and Southampton water ; it being the King's intention to keep in smooth water within the Wight, at the recommendation of Sir W. Knighton. The paragraph which has appeared in several newspa" pers, purporting to give the contents of the late Mr. Nur lekens' will, it is now said, is most incorrect, and the amount of the testator's property greatly exaggerated. On Sunday night, the sentinel of the Royal Guard, who was posted on the Place tin Carousel, near the ' Louvre gate, perceiving an individual lurking near him, called out several times " Who goes there ?" and order •ed him to retire. The man, however, continued to ap- ' proach, and the sentinel fired and killed him.—(Ga .rette de France.) A Court of Aldermen was held yesterday at Guildhall, which was attended by the Lord Mayor, 17 Aldermen, the Recorder, Sheriffs, and City Offit.ers. His Lordship came in State upon the occasion of swearing in two new Aldermen. His Lordship having made a It-port of the Election in Langbourn Ward, John Key, Esq. attended by several of the Common Council and principal inhabit ants of the Ward, was introduced to the Court in due form, and took the oaths and his seat. The Lord Mayor then reported the Election in the Ward of Farringdun Within, when John Crowder, Esq. was in like manner attended, and presented, and took the usual oaths and his seat. Mr. John Jackson was admitted, and sworn • Coal Meter in trust for the city.—The Court were occu pied at considerable length upon a Report relative to the' appointment of Receiver of the Orphans' Dues on Wine. Mr. Alderman Cot was appointed to the vacant situa tion. Precepts for a Common Hall, for the Election of Officer., were directed to be issued. Courts of Conserv ancy were appointed to be held for Essex and Kent on the 12th,and for Surrey and Middlesex on the 20th of June next. The Chainfierlain reported the state of the Orphans' Food, when 13,400/. of the outstanding debt was directed to bo•paid off and discharged. ~~ SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

They put two of the crew of the Brig Minerva, of Amsterdam, on board the Ceres, which vessel they had taken the 25th of February. The Master, a passenger, and rest of the crew of the Miner a, were kept on board the pirate. The Ceres put into New Providence to get supplies. The Frivater schooner was about 50 tons, painteci bl,trk, with white bottom and mouldings. SPORTIMi INTELLtGENCE: -Nur NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING, InS. FRIDAY, MAY 2.

CATHOLIC APPAIRS.—There was yesterday a very re; spretable and numerous meeting of Catholic Gentlemen, for the purpose of making prelirninarT arrangements, preparatory to the Aggregate Meeting. Sir Edward Bel lew was called to the Chair. A motion passed unani mously, that a vote of thanks to Mr. Plunkett should be submitted to the Aggregate Meeting. It was also agreed, after a discussion of some length, in which Mr. Hugh O'Connor, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. O'Gorman, Mr. Shiel, Mr. Howls+, and other Gentlemen took part, that an Address to the King should be also proposed to the Aggregate Meeting. A. Committee having been ap pointed to draw up the Address, and thanks being voted to the Chairman, the Meeting adjourned. It was the ge neral impression, that no attempt should be made to re , produce a discussion on the Catholic Question in Par: ...- ment,—(Orbfin Morning Post. Tlturrday.) PARLIAMENTARY RIMORM..—Proma comparison of the minorities on Lord John Russell's three motions for Par liamentary Reform, it appears that of the 124 members who supported that question in 1821, there are 10 whose names do not appear in either of the subsequent divisions; and that of the 164 in 11322 27 (besides two paired otf) were not in the division of 1823 ; so that no less than 2O members of the present House of Commons have, within the last two years, voted for a reform of Parlia ment. _ _ PaoYIOCNTIIL ESCAM—Yesterday evening, about 6 o'clock, as several voting children were gazing at the hu mours of the May-day Chimney-sweeps, a hackney-coach passing struck down a little boy of about four years old. the son of a man of the name of Reed in the employ of Mr. Moody, Lamp Maker, Great Sutton Street. The child fell on its face, and one of the fore wheels passed completely over the vertebrae of the neck. The infant was instantly caught up by a young man in the crowd. and conveyed to the house of Mr. Shepherd, the sign of the Sun, corner of Little and Great Sutton Street. Mr. S. in the anxiety of the moment, exclaimed, " it must be taken to the hospital ;" on hearing which, the child exclaimed, " I won't go to the doctor's," and began to bewail only the loss of its marbles. Most singular to say, the only injury it received wu a slight scratch on the lip, which bled a few drops. ELISANT GLASSES, FURNITURE, ate.—The Nobility and Gentry are invited to inspect the Ware-rooms of COOPER and SON, 93, Bishopsgate-Within, where it exhibited an as sortment of neat and second-baud Plate Glasses, admirably I suited to every description of Drawing or Dining-Rooms. — The prices are just reduced 40per cent. on Plates measuring 1100 inches by 71, and upwards • and on those of smaller di- I Incisions the alteration will b e found equally important. — The extensive preference given to this Establishment is thankfully acknowledged by the Proprietors, who, in their endeavours to evince their gratitude, by manufacturing arti cles in a superioi manner, at prices suitable to the times. hope to merit a continuance of public support. In the Fur niture department, is comprised every new and elegant arti cle of Upholstery, Cabinet, aad Chair Work, regulated upon such a scale of economy, as to demand and ensure the pa tronage of rank and fashion.
