CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. (Abridged from the Dublin Morning Register of Friday.) Amount <4 Rent this wtek—Nine Hundred and Fifteen Pounds, Sixteen Shillings and l';:npence ! A more splendid meeting than that of yesterday was never assembled within th e walls of the Assoviation. So ear ly t one o'clock, the rt.,tn l•eg•tn to fill ; the gallery was crow.lcd ; and at the hour of meeting the room and the p,wsage ieatl;o::, , to it were densely thronged, that it was iii '-Mt impossible to obtain admission. In the private box of Fr. Secretary Dwyer, we observed an artist, who had run., i'aoin London for the purpose, occupied in taking a skelcit of the interesting - and diversified scene before him. At three o'c!ock, Sir THOMAS EsmoNnx, Bart., was talks' to preside. LATTER PROM MIL O'CONlttt.t. The SISCRtTA ELT said he had t read a letter from Mr. O'Ccnnel. (Loud cheering.) It was then read as fol -I,lrrs zit(' ordered to he inserted on the minutes. Ilatt's Hotel, Dover-street, London, 10th Febrnafy, 1829. Me DtAR Faisxn—Here I om prepared to make that experiment on which so much of the fates and fortunes ef sew wretched conntey depend. My right to sit and vote ill Parliament, is, I, may venture to '?.d y, demonstrated— !. defy any fulryer to lay his finger on any statute that ena lakes the present House of Commons to create a forfeiture of the seat of a reernher for not taking the odious oaths; or, that even ensirewers that House to administer these oaths It is said, that a very eminent Chancery barrister, Mr. ;titre-den, has written a pamphlet against my right, in whirl,, with singular inaccuracy, be has totally omitted a eneet important statute. I rejoice not a little in th e blunder of this legal statesman. I fanry that his book, - whatever effect it may have on his fortunes as a man on the toad to high professional station, will not add mnela to his already high professional reputation. I Will answer him to-morrow. The great and engrossing question now. is--What shall be dorm with motet I() the immediate dissolution of the Catholic Asectiation ? I have thought of it much and deeply, and I confess, I cannat bring myself, for the pre , went, tee advise that measure. No man living would go fare thee Than I would to conciliate the Protestant mind, and to reconcile the mistaken—no man has, >t venture to assert, gone so far as I have goh e t o d o s o. My conduct when the King was in Ireland—erny tonduct when in 1825 the de legation was here, prove that my disposition to conciliate eeteeededsay' ietretion at to the means of conciliation. I flirt exceedingly anxious to conciliate every single Protes tant in the British dominions, but I shudder at the idea of pleading guilty to the charges contained against us in what itteelled the King's speech, bet what is known to be the iisnguage not of our gracious Sovereign, belt of his Mini eters. Irclavd never yet trusted but she was betrayed —that truth is now perpetually before nay eyes, and I for one do not wish to be a party to any measure either by direct co-operation or indirect assent which goes to dimi nish time sum of conetitutinoal liherty, or to introduce any precedent fatal to t i ee, : . i'end'oin of British subjects. Great as my reirkci:ence is to dissolve the Association be fore the law . .....4rtitinates its career, of course I never will be PartY tes any violation of the law. lam also bound to avid taV. it is the unanimous opinion of all our old and con matrat supporters in Parliament, that the Association should ° . .t Tuesday nest—that is, as soon as it can do so, dissolve Itself. In this opinion Lords Milton and Ebrington, Messrs. Villiers Stuart, the Knight of Kerry, Mr. Ponsonhy, Mr. Grattan, Mr. Brougham, Mr. Power, Sir John Newport, Mr. Spring Rice, S:r Francis Burdett, with a-long list of other friends in both Houses, concur. They say that the Ministers are determined to carry a Suppression Bill, and not te stir one step in the Emancipation Bill until the former is carried. The dissolution of the Catholic Association by a vote of its own, is therefore but an anticipation by a few days of an otherwise inevitable result. They add, with re elect to any condition to be annexed to the Bill for Eman cipation, the Association can do nothing, even if such con ditions be intended, because the Suppression Bill will be in farce before the Bill for Emancipation shall be brought in. With ;expect to conditions, I have heard this—that it "'l...tinter is not intended to interfere by the Emancipation . Bill with the forty-shilling freeholders. This belief exists in a quarter which ought not to be deceived. It is also, its like manner, believed, by more most likely to be well informed, - that the Duke of Wellington does not intend to oseek for any species of vetoistical arrangements. This is very consolatory. To this, however, I desire to pledge myself, to use ail the constitutional means in my potter to procure the defeat of any Emancipation Bill coupled w'th either of these measures. Never, never, will we consent to receit'e Emancipation at the expence of the forty-shilling freeholders, or of the discipline of our Church. We arc ready to do all that honest and conscientious men should do to conciliate. 'We are ready, most ready, to bury in eter nal oblivion alt bygone dissensions, animosities, and in juries. We are ready to hold out the hand of fellowship, and to tender the heart of affection to our Vrotestant countrymen—we are ready to give our treasures and our blood for the support of the throne and the maintenance of the Constitution. All we requite in return is an equalization of civil rights with our Protestant coun ttymere . Send frwward the petition as speedily ,is possible Address the people to he trzmy:il, and to tike care not to be goaded into any violation of the law—all our hopes of liberty would be lost by any one act of vioience. Let the people confide in our counsels, "and there arc still in store day. of peace and prosperity for Old Ireland. Believe me, always very sincerely your's, DANIEL O'CONNELL. Mr. Sasvir. said, I rise to move that the Catholic As sociation do stand dissolved upon its rising to-day. I stated at considerable length my reasons for making this propo nition, upon Tuesday last. I could have carried the measure if I had pressed it, but upon an appeal being made to me by Mr. Maurice O'Connell, I thought it Advisable to wait until a letter should he received from his father, in order that we might have the benefit of his more mature advice upon so important a proceeding. This was justly due to hint. 31r. O'Connell has written, and says that he will not be a party to a dissolution. (Cheers.) He refers to the de ception practised in 1825—still Mr. O'Connell does not state that he is opposed to the measure ; he intimates that we should wait until Friday. If the measure is to be adopted let it he dane at once; for upon the speed with which the offering is made to our friends in Parliament, the effect of the proceeding will mainly depend.—(Hear, and cheers.)-1 am not surprised that Mr. O'Connell does not desire to be a party in this transaction ; because, as he contributed more than any other man to create and to Sus tain the Association, he is naturally deterred by what I may call a kind of parental instinct from participating in its extinction. But, Sir, this is a crisis in whirls I deemed it to he in) duty to stand forward in order to achieve, without any fear of results, what I regard as greatly instrumental in the promotion of the public good. Without attempting to compare what I have done with what has been effected by Mr. O'Connell upon this occasion, I may be permitted to say, that I lent a very ardent, if not a very effectual co-ope ration in raising this body to its present magnitude. What I have spoken within these walla has been read by the great mass of the people, and perhaps contributed to that excita tion from which this body has derived its omnipotence. I am not accustomed to speak of myself in public assemblies but upon this occasion I am justified in doing so, in order that I may repel any charge of pusillanimity which may be urged against me. Who creates! the simultaneous meet ings ? I did.—(Loud cheers. put that fact to my cre • dit, in order to meet any insinuation against the integrity of my purpose in pressing a voluntary dispersion of our body. Mr. Sheil concluded by moving a dissolution of the body, amidst loud and continued cheering. Mr. LAwi.Ess seconded the motion.—(Loud and enthu siastic cheering.) Mr. L. PLUNKETT proposed an amendment which was not seconder!. Mr. H. G. CURRAN declared him,elf in favour of the dissolution of the Association. Mr. gust►, waved his right to reply, and his resulntion was put from the chair and carried al►nost unanimously— the dissentients not amounting in number to more than 10 or 12. Mr. Cols - 1./Al - moved that the Association on its rising s hri n k; staml dissolved.--(Loud cheers.) Mr. FORDE, as the public opinion was against hint, svnultl bow to it; and in s.2conding the resolution said, whatever assistance he could render should he cheerfully given to work the machine.—(Cheers.) The motion was carried amidst great applause. UNITED 'MEXICAN MINING ASSOCIATION. NOTICE is hereby given, that a SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING of PROPRIETORS is appointed to he held at the City of London Tavern, on MotiniV . , the 23d instant, at One o'Clock precisely, to talie into consideration, and determine on, the measures to be adopted for increasing the Capital of the Association, to an extent, not exceeding 57,0001. by a temporary ad vance or otherwise. R. I-lEATIIFIELD, See. No. 13, Old Broad-street, London, Feb. 12, 1829. VOTE OF TITAN KS TO MR. O'CONNELL. Mr. SHELL was now about to propose the last official act of the Association. It was a vote of deep and heartfelt _giatitude to the man, to whose unwearied exertions, perse vering alid indomitable patriotism the Association owed its existence and mustainutent (vehement cheers.) I have now said Mr. Shell to propose the thanks of the Catholic As sociation to its founder (long continued cheering.) To that great man, by whose uncompromising patriotism, shinin; talents, and ever-watchful assiduity, this body ob. taineri an importance and political influence which have paced the great question of Irish freedom in the high and commanding attitude wh:eh it at present occupies. The cheering, Waving of hats and handkerchiefs, eon. tintied for several minutes. It NV.li quite unnecessary to put the motion, for the entering of the wetting ; echoed by the Inultitudo without, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 16, 1829. The contents of the French Papers relate chiefly to the affairs of the East, but they furnish no new facts. The SULTAN is paying the utmost attention to his fleet, which is daily augmenting its streagth. He hopes shortly to be Ale to organise a force strong enough to cope with the Russians in the Black Sea, but this is very doubtful. The Russians last year sent down some large vessels, which are equip ping with expedition, to reinforce the fleet in the Black Sea, so soon as the state of the weather will permit a safe navigation. The object of M. JAU BERT'S mission at Constantinople seems to be as distant of attainment as ever. One of the French Papers, in remarking upon the question of Catholic Emancipation being taken up by the Government, observes that England will henceforth he united, and as such, that her character will be more respected because her power will be con solidated. That France ought to take a lesson by such a good an 4 conciliatory example which prevents foreign war by appeasing civil discord. There can be no doubt, while Ireland was so aiscontentei, that the Government of this country failed to Make the Prier impression abroad, because Foreign Powers counted so far on the weakness of England in con sequence of the distracted state of Ireland requiring a large portion of her military force. But hence forth their tone will be changed. When Emanci pation is once granted, the simple expression of England's displeasure will go much farther than her strongest remonstrance now. Lisbon Gazettes to the 31st January have come to hand. The only thing they mention is, that Don MIGuEL and his sisters passed through the capital, in state, to the splendid Church of St. Mary, where Te Dcunz was performed for " his MAJESTY'S " happy recovery. The rabble shouted—and in the evening the windows were illuminated. This is the " official " account of his proceedings, but the private letters reiterate all the previous ac counts of his malicious conduct. His mother and himself quarrel desperately upon the state of affairs —the Don complaining that by following her coun sels he got into his present dilemma—and she re torting-, that his only error consists in not having N lowed all her suggestions to the letter—by cutting off heads as well as confiscating property. Happy pair A mail from Flanders has been received, but its contents from Constantinople are nearly as uninte resting as its advices from Batavia, detailing the usual reverses of the Dutch troops in that unhealthy quarter. German Papers of the 9th inst. have been re ceived. The news from St. Petersburgh sounds more Ivarlike than ever. Not only is the whole army in motion, hut the greatest activity prevails in the Dock-yards. On the other hand, the accounts from Constantinople arc said to be pacific, but we have been so often amused with similar rumours that little confidence ought to be placed in them. The following are extracts : ST. PETERSBURGII, JAN. 20. The preparations for the next campaign are immense, and the whole army is in motion. His Majesty will com mand it in person, and will probably soon leave St. Peters. burgh to review the several corps : he will also go to War saw before the opening of the campaign, to renew the oath of allegiance. Great activity is observed in our docks, and a convention is spoken of which our Government thinks of concluding with the United States of North Ame rica. All that has been said of a lean abroad is false, various propos ils have indeed been made to our Government, but they have been rejected by M. Cancrin, who is averse to such operations. The Emperor has already assigned the funds required for the war. As soon as the Emperor sets out for Poland, the Polish army will be drawn together to be reviewed by his Alajesty. VIENNA, FEB. 2. We are here very anxious for the next arrivals from Constantinople, because a decisive answer iv expected to he given by the Porte to the declaration of the Allied Powers. A criminal confined in the Louse of correction in this city, pretends to have discovured a mode of making sugar out of bay. It is well known that all vegetables contain more or less saccharine matter, but the discoverer maintains, that it is so abundant in hay, that a pound of sugar may be obtained by a simple process from six pounds of hay. It is said that the Government, which liberally supports all useful discoveries, will pay particular attention to this one. FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, JAN. 23. The accounts from Constantinople are very pacific : hopes are entertained there that the Allied Powers will come to an agreement with the Porte respecting the affairs at Greece. The Divan is said to have declared its willing ness to agree to an exchange of prisoreis, as j,copo•ed by Rtci a la, vu matlitiou that Jussuf Dacha thud his attundants shall be delivered up. The Sultan continues meantime to prestctite the military preparations with the greatest krdoun lie has formed a new corps of cavalry, which is to compose the flower of his body guard. Nothing was known from the army, except that it had gone into winter quarters in the plain of Atiiianople. _ _ FRIDI THE FRO2iTIER§ OF SERVIA, JAN. 26. Letters of the 10th from Constantinople, received at Belgrade, mentions that M. Jaubett had had several con ferences With the Reis Effendi, and appeared to hope that his mission would be successful. Since then an English courier has arrived at the lazaretto on the frontier, who is said to have left Constantinople on the 13th, and probably brings the particulars of the progress of those negotia tions. The next post from Turkey will, we hope, bring die details. VIENNA, FEB. 011; Bank Shares, 1,104, Gibraltar Chronicles, of the 26th ult., have been received. Under date of the 24th, a Proclamation of the Lieutenant-Governor has been issued, order ing, in conformity with orders transmitted by Sir G. Muutuv, the formation of a Board of Officers to enquire into the origin of the disorder that has af flicted that garrison, and for which purpose the fol lowing have been appointed—viz., the Supei in tendant-Genciral of Quarantine, Deputy Judge-Ad vocate, Principal Medical Officer, Town-Major, Go vernor-Secretary, Captain of the Port, and Dr: BARRY. An additional Board has also been formed, at the head of which is De. PYIU, who is instructed to call on the Medical Gentlemen sent by order of the French Government, and even any other of the Medical Profession, in order to consult whether the fever has teen of a description to subject the patient to a second amok or not, after having gone through it once. Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyds, dated Constantinople, Jun. 10: " The Margaret, —, with a cargo of wheat from Alexandria, on arriving at the Dardanelles on the 25th ult. was detaintd three days by the blockading squadron, whilst orders were obtained from the Admiral at Poros, and which being 'that all vessels that might have left a Mediterranean port before the 30th ult. were free to enter the Dardanelles, whatever might be their cargo,' and the Margaret having quitted Alexandria on the 3d of Dec. she was warned not to attempt entering, and has since arrived at Smyrna." The Catholic Association has followed the advice of the Friends of Ireland by dissolving itelf on Thursday last. Several speeches were made on the occasion, and there were only eight or ten young men who seemed averse to the proceeding, simply, we understand, because it would deprive them of a fitting opportunity for exercising their oratorical abilities, by making impassioned speeches. A letter from Mr. O'CONNELL, was read, in which the Member for Clare did not seem to advise either way, but simply left the Association to judge for itself. The Association declared itself dissolved for ever— and concluded the sitting by giving Once cheers for DANIEL O'CONNELL, Esq., and the Marquis of ANGLE:SEA. By extracts which will be found in The San of this day, from the Provincial Journals, it will be seen that tie greatest portion of the public press is decidedly favourable to the views of his MAJESTY'S Government on the que,tion of Catholic Eman cipation. Now, as the public press must be allowed to represent public opinion, it follows that the majority of the public is favourable to the proposed change —a change which will produce the happy concilia tion of all classes of his MAJESTY'S subjects: The intolerants may raise the hue and cry of "No Popery," but their day is gone by. 'The rabble meeting at the Crown and Anchor, the preliminary proceedings of which we gave on Saturday, is really too contemptible for serious comment. Two mourning Papers, which arc now most happily for the country on the wrong side of. the question, term the Meeting " a very numerous and highly respectable " affair—and an Evening Paper of Saturday, beholding the rabble rout through the fog of Fleet -street, called it —a great Protestant Meeting ! Really we enter tain too sincere a respect for our Protestant brethren to say another word upon so libellous an assertion. The Star of Ascendancy has set in the West, and the standard of revolt will soon follow its example i the East. Poor Maniacs !—we could almost pity their distress, did not their ridiculous folly excite our merriment and contempt. They could eat Mr. PEEL in the excess of their wrath, but for their fear of the Duke. Let them whistle " Over the Water to Charley !"—it may relieve their bitterness of soul. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE o ' CLOCK: Consols dosed on Saturday at 86A 11, but were done after the hours of business at Stijl- e ; this morning their aN pearaace was heavy, and the first price marked WAS ti 64 became sellers at 86i, and were done at 86 4 1 ; the market has since rallied a little, and they are now 86A, buyers, and 86 4 for the April account. India Bonds have declined full 10s. per cent. in the premium, and the stock has also gone down front 234 5 to 23,0; an opinion seems to have got abroad that there will he some difficulty in procuring a renewal of the Charter ; Exchequer Bills are 5S 60 Pm. The business in the Foreign Funds has drooped into so insignificant a state as to leave little but the prices to be given ; Russian Bonds hear a high figure, indeed much more so than it is considered they ought under all the circum stances; they are in powerful hands, and but little of the stock in this country ; but if this Government continues to be at war fresh loans and advances for this purpose may have an unfortunate effect on the price of the Bonds.

THE BENCHERS OF LINCOLN'S INN, AND THE PARisu OF Sr. ANDREW, IIOL[3OILN• -A Petty Ses sions was held on Saturday at the Workhouse, in Little Gray's Inn-hue, when a long-contested question between the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, and the Benchers of Lincoln's Inn, relative to the liability of the latter to con tribute to the maintenance of the poor of the parishes of St. Andrew, Holborn, and St. George-the-Martyr, was settled, upon the Benchers and other occupiers of chambers in Lincoln's Inn, agreeing to pay to the parish 2,5031., and to defray the expences of obtaining an Act of Parlimnent to enable the parish to accept a composition of 1,0001. in lieu of parish rates. FALL IN THE PRICE OF COALS.--A considerable reduction has just taken place in the price of coals brought to this city. The Union Canal Lad been shut fur upwards of a fortnight by time late severe frost, and so soon as the communication was cleared by the thaw, the price of coals brought from all the Duke of Hamilton's pits, which form a very considerable part of our supply of this necessary article, was reduced to ten shillings per ton, delivered in town. This will, of course, effect a like reduction on the coal brought from other places, and strik ingly illustrates the benefit which our fellow-citizens derive frog tLis naription,...Sotonan.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord MANNERS, and Vis count GODERICH, SRI upon Appeals to-day. LORD GRAVES V. FISHER,. Upon this appeal being called on, Counsel stated that Mr. Martin, who led the case, was labouring under severe illness, in consequence - of which they were instructed to ask that the matter might stand Over for a few days. It was likewise necessary to have certain documents front Exeter, which were not yet arrived. The Appeal was ordered to stand over for ten days. BLAKNEY b. BAGGOTT. This was an appeal from the decision of Lord Manners, when Chancellor of Ireland. A bill was tiled in the Court of Chancery, in that kingdom, fur the specific'performance of an agreement and lease, entered into under a very ancient document. Lord Manners was of opinion that, taking all the circumstances of the. case into consideration, the par ties were not entitled to any equitable relief, and dismissed the bill ; from thatdecision the parties appealel. The ease involved several questions of conreyaEicing, but the facts were of no public importance. Mr. SUGDEN and Mr. PErrs were for the appellants, and Mr. HoaNE and Mr. B►.xGH for the respondents. Mr. SUGDEX was speaking when we left. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. LA CHAUMONT V. BANK OF ENGLAND. In this case Sir J. SCARLET? showed cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET praying for a new trial or authority to enter a nonsuit against the plain tiff, who had obtained a verdict against the defendant. The action arose out of a robbery of a person of two 5001. and one 501. Bank of England notes. The numbers were stopped at the Bank, and one of the 5001. notes was presented by the plaintiff and stopped, the Bank refusing to give cash for it. It was traced to Messrs. Odier and Co. bullion.snerchants, Paris, who had received it in payment from another bullion-merchant, who stated that he had given value for it to an English gentleman, hut had not taken his address, as addresses given under such circum stances were generally false ones. Sir J. SCARLETT now contended, that Messrs. Odier and Co., having given consideration for the note, were en titled to recover, and that the verdict ought not to be disturbed. • Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET, in reply, contended that evidence should be adduced of the consideration given by the first bullion-dealer who had passed it to Messrs. Odier and Co. If this verdict was allowed to stand, it would open a road for the "disposal of all stolen notes, as a person only had to send them to Paris, they would be returned to this country for a consideration, and the payers would be able to recover the value. Lord TENTERDEN considered that a new trial ought to tie allowed, and made the rule absolute. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) These Sessions commenced this morning, before F. Corse, Esq., and a full Bench of Magistrates. Jcssop, R. Edwards, and G. Chandler, were in dicted for assaulting Charles Wyatt, a Bow-street Patrol. The defendants were fighting about a fare, and on the offi cer interfering., he got severely assaulted. The Jury found the prisoners Guilty, and they were sentenced to be im pri•oued ten days in the House of Correction. Mr. John Haggart, who was convicted of a nuisance a s the December Sessions, was brought up for judg ment. The defendant said it was impossible he could abate it ; if he did, it would completely destroy his trade. CuainmAN.—We cannot help that; the whole neigh hiurhood are not to be annoyed on that account; the case may stand over until next Sessions, and if the nui sance is not abated by that time, the Court will take such steps that will enforce it. Several other eases of petty assaults were disposed of i❑ the course of the morning. During the past week the ItoYAL MENA GF;UU, EXETER. 'CIL% NGE, has been daily thronged with visitors, and at the feeding time it was almost inaccessible, every one seeming desirous to behold this unrivalled esta blishment. As the time approaches when it must be pulled down, we trust that Parents and Guardians will not suffer the opportunity to pass without permitting the younger branches to inspect this truly suberb collection, which in after years will be talked of with admiration and regret. MED.—At Brussels, on the 9th mst, Lady, the wife of Sir John ltousselet Whitefoord, after a month's painful confinement, in consequence of severe injury re ceived from her clothes accidentally taking fire. The loss of this most exemplary lady is not alone irreparable to her widowed partner and sorrowing - children, but will be long and deeply felt in those circles, both at home and abroad, of which she was, for so rimy years, the ornament and delight. The constancy and fortitude with which she en dured the protracted and excruciating sufferings which ter minated her earthly career have best illustrated the efficacy of those Christian principles, in the practice of which she was ever distinguished ; awl if genuine piety, the ample discharge of every conjugal and maternal duty, combined with the purest benevolence towards her fellow -creatures, can consecrate departed worth, her memory and example will long survive in the affectionate recollection of all who had the happiness to know her, and who now unite to de plore the melancholy event which has thus suddenly snatched her from her afflicted family and friends. BRUNSWICK MEETING.-01 - 1 Saturday "the thing" called the Protestant meeting was attempted to be held in the field adjoining, Tyrone-house, in Marlborough street. The situation was particularly well chosen, for it was directly opposite that building celebrated in Irish his tory, 00(1 ]crown in the annals of cruelty and torture by the name of " Beresford's Riding-house." The pretence for holding the meeting in the open air was, that the 1111••• tunth would not be large enough for persons claiming ad mission ; while, in fact, there Was not at the utmost at one time more than eight hundred persons on the ground,— Dublin Morning Register. SPITALFIELDS SUBSCRIPTION.-On Sun day morning, the 15th inst., a sermon was preached at St. John's Chapel, Bethnal Green, by the Rev. Wm. Stone, in aid of this fund. The Reverend Gentleman took his text from the 2d chapter of St. James, 15th and 16th verse, and delivered from thence a most affecting and powerful appeal to his congregation in support of the objects of this subscription, the result of which was a collection of ❑p wards of 33/., and we trust this laudable example will be f o llowed by the ministers of religion, both in the neigh bourhood as well as other parts of the metropolis. The distresses of this district cuntinuea unabated and most ap palling. MOST ATROCIOUS MURDER.--011 the night of Sunday last, a murder W7IS committed in the vici nity:of Dunmanway, under the following circumstances. A person of the name of Wren, son to a respectable fat mu, echo had married a daughter of one of his father's labourers smit e time since, conceiving a dislike to his wife, parted from her, and the woman had gone to service in a gentleman's family in that country. On Sunday night a bove-mentioned, this Wren came to the house where his wife was at service, and having called her out, under pretenc e of making arrangements for their coining to live together again, he decoyed her sonic yards into a les blunderbuss, and left her as lie thought de a d ! but the un fortunate in a short ti me recovere d strengt h enoug h t n era o w m l e womantolt er of the ground, an d t h en s h ot h er w i t h a master's house, and having sent for Daniel Conner, Esq. of Manch, the next Magistrate, and having taken the woman's deposition before her death, he instantly despatched a party, who succeeded in apprehending the ruffian as he had just gone to bed, and they also took the blunderbuss in the room which appeared to be recently fired off. An inquest was held by F. Baldwin, Esq. Co roner, and a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against him was returned. The culprit has been committed to the county gaol fvr trial At the ovxt Conotituaun.

The Corn trade remains in the saute gloomy state it has done for weeks past, with but little prospect of amendment, having a great part of the labouring class here Out of em ployment, with the scarcity of money and general opinion of lower prices soueding front every quarter, that to-day it was difficult to sell Wheat even at a reduction of 4d. per b us h e l ; grinding Barley is 2d. per 601 h. cheaper ; and Oats from Id. to Id. per bushel below last week ; boiling Pease remain languid ; and Beans are difficult to quit at the quotations. The article of Malt is seriously affected in this quarter by the contracted consumption ; and to-day it was offered Is. per load lower ; Flour could not be pushed off even at 2s. per sack below this day week; Oatmeal is Is. per lead lower.

The arrivals of the past week were considerable of most kinds of Corn, and a good quantity of Flour was also re ported. This morning the fresh supplies coastwise are scanty. The thin attendance of country buyers causes the market to remain very dull, and most descriptions of Wheat may he reported 2s. to Ss. per quarter lower than on this day se'nnight. Barley remains extremely heavy in disposal, and may be again reported Is. to 2s. per quar ter cheaper. Beans are neatly unsaleable, even though of fered 2s. per quarter below last Monday's terms. Oats continue plentiful, and the demand slack ; the quotations may he stated Is. to 2s. per quarter less than last Monday. The Flour trade remains equally dull as prior to the re duction in price.

KING'S TIIEATRE. Political -economists appear to fancy that the age of mi racles has found in; parallel in the year one thousand eight hundred and twenty-nine ! To step from greater things to, ]err —musical economists (if we may be allowed the ex,- preesion) may now indulge in similar conjecture; for last Saturday's representation of the " Donna del Logo" exhi bited the unusual phenomena of nearly three of its essen-• tinl characters being either " cut out," or so much muti lated by said " cutting," as to render their identity some what equivocal ! Motmcatra, CASTELLI, and " the last not least ) " Signor D'AncEtaa, forwarded physicians' eertificatee, de. daring that they were, each and all, placed " hors de combat" by illness. This, too, at so lets a period on the, actual day of performance as three o'clock ! A sadden and astounding dilemma, rendered still more so in 'manse quence of certain individuals not having yet made their debut, and who could scarcely (in common justice to their fame or the manager's interests) be expected to step for ward on the emergercy. The question to decide Was, therefore, a ehoite of the evils; and the management, it appeareth, decided upon not altogether disappointing the subscribers, &c. who had expressed great anxiety to wit ness the splendid efforts of PISA RONI and Signor Darr ziti.ar. In this awkward crisis, the Directors of the Royal Academy of Music was suggested as presenting a possible resource, and Miss BELLCZIAMBERS, a pupil of that na tional school of music, undertook, at about three hours!' notice, to set her foot for the first time upon any stage, and. of course, that of the Italian Opera House, to sing as much: of the character of Ellen Douglas's music as she chancedto. know, as well as to acquire so much more of it as time and circumstances in their brevity would permit. To say,thevefore, that Miss BELLCIIAMBERS get through tolerably so meta as was allotted, under all the circumstances, is no small praise ; but she did more, the quartette she was concerned in with PISARONI, DONZELLI, and CURZON', was en cored. We trust and hope, however, that we shall never see this promising young vocalist so unpleasantly situated again; hut th4t, if she be really ambitious of operatic fame, she will be permitted a far trial. • • PISA ROM, instead of being dismayed or affected by the, singular predicament these unavoidable accidents had created for her, exerted knell with even greater success than upon any previous occasion since her debut, especially. in her arias, one of which (the second) was encored. DONZELLI has got rid of the cold which injured his. efforts upon the Tuesday night previous, and was exceed- , ingly energetic in the first aria. The new Dirertisement was short but splendid,- ancr displayed some good costume, scenery, and most tuheirable • dancing. We only want the piano in the orchestra sn‘ctoz, attended to, and then a proper and effective contrast in the' forte would be of certain attainment. The Italiuno Algiere, we perceive, is announced for Tuesday, when a Signor GALLI makes his debut. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Another of that rich, easy old dramatist's (FAnctumAt) Comedies, the Recruiting Officer, was on Saturday night revived at this Theatre, with great and deserved succeier.. This is a second flattering proof to the Managers of either house, that if instead of contenting themselves with the.' adaptation of imported rubbish from Paris, they will turn to some of the racy plays of our own neglected dramatists,. among whom, FARQUHAR, howeyer eminent, is fir from: being the first, they will not fail to meet with their reward in the rapid filling up of their treasury books. Nothing could exceed the applause with which the Re cruiting Officer was received. CHARLES Kamatit's Captain Plume was excellent, full of easy vivacity and exuberant merriment. His drunken scene with Brazen" was in the very best style of comic humour. Mr. BART LET'S Balance was grave and subdued, but perfectly cha racteristic. Mr. GREEN'S Captain Brazen did hint infi nite credit, and stamped him as a legitimate comedian.-- Miss CHESTER played Melinda quietly, but with perfect grace and self-possession ; and Miss NELSON, as Rose, did every thing of which the part is capable. WELLINGTON'S NAME. (From .21foore's Irish Melodies.) While History's Muse the memorial was keeping - • Of all that the ilark hand of Destiny weaves, Beside her the Genius of Erin stood weeping, For her's was the story that blotted the leaves. But, oh I how the tear in her eyelids grew bright, When, after whole pages of sorrow and shuttle, She saw History write, With a pencil of light, That illumed all the volume, her Wellington's name, " Hail, Star of my Isle !" said the Spirit, all sparkling With beams such as break from her own dewy skies;-- " Through :Tea of sorrow, deserted and darkling, I've watch'd for some glory like thine to arise. For, though heroes I've numl;er'd, unblest was their lot, And unhallowed they sleep in the cross-ways of Fame; But, oh ! there is not One dishonouring blot On the wreath that encircles my Wellington's name! " And still the last crown of thy toils in remaining, • The grainiest, the purest, e'en thou bast yet known ; Though proud was the task, other nations unchaining, Far prouder to heal the deep wounds of thy own ; At the foot of that throne, for whose weal thou bast stood, Go plead for the laud that first cradled thy fame— And bright o'er the flood Of her tears and her blood Let the rainbow of Hope be her Wellington's name!" We have again to notice the wonderful exer tions of The Sun. At half-past eight on Tuesday night it despatched by express to overtake the mail a third edi tion, containing Mr. Peel's speech. In the formor in stance of this most liberal gratification of the public curio sity we could not benefit by it, as it did not occur on our night of publication; but on the present occasion we have taken the full advantage of it.— Glasgow Herald. ASTONISHING RAPIDITY IN THE COMMU NICATION OF INTHLLIGENCR.—THR SON NEWSTATTR.--• Last Friday evening the debate in the House of Commons on Thursday was published in the Leeds Intellipencer, in a third edition, nineteen hours and a half after it had ter minated. The same account of the important discussion was sent to us, but somehow got into the wrong road and came. by York. It was even by that route in our post office by twelve o'clock on Friday night, but in consequence of our post not being open till the next morning, we were able to give only the substance of the discussion. It is due to the extraordinary efforts, and unequalled zeal of the pro prietors of The Sun to state these facts. We hope upon some future occasion to be more fortunate than last week, and to be able to furnish our readers with details that, in the regular course of communication, only arrive in Hull on a Saturday evening. —Hull lioetringham. On Saturday morning last we published a second edition containing the King's Speech, and the sub stance of what was said by most of the leading Members in both Houses of Parliament; bnt as it would not reach the bands of all our readers, we re-insert the speeches to day. For the speeches we are indebted to the spirited proprietors of The ,Sule newspaper, who, by unprece dented exertions, in forwarding late editions of their Paper.. by express, placed them in the hands of the public at SOO. miles distance from London, within 34 hours. after the; conclusion of the debates on Thursday night.— Carlisle. Journal. GLASGOW, FEB. 2.—The extraordinary . sensation produced in London by the King's Speech in creases with every passing hour. Foreign politics and foreign dangers are wholly overlooked and forgotten. Ire land alone is thought of. Catholic emancipation, - and its probable results, are only considered. Doubt increases- Fear spreads. The bright and gay prospect of halycon days of peace and prosperity to Great Britain and to Ire land, so loudly promulgated from certain quarters, are, even in those quarters, already thickly clouded. The future, we can assure our readers, is already looked to, in high quarters, with anxiety and with pain ; and Downing street, we can also assure them, was, at the close of last Week and the beginning of the present, overspread with confusion, and involved in deep and serious Maim.-- Glasgow Courier.
