The last resolution was, that relying on the asieurai cis given to the Catholics in the Speech from the Throne, the Association should, at its next meeting, ad journ sine die. Mr. Leweiss had, in an early part of the evening, given -mice of a motion for adjourning sine die.

LONIJON JOURNALS. We his day public" the Act brought in by Mr. Pee for suporessing the C: die Associatiou. Tbet ;in Act so sweepire, so seatching, and so penal, could be introduced by any modern Ministry, and acceded to nenzine contra dicente by any House of Commons in this tree country, proves no tnearor; a waritoo or reprehensible desire io either them to extend the privet, itive. or eticroach on the lib( -ty of the subject ; hut it does prove, undoubtedly, the ex .- cue—and, we must add, the just—alarm, both of the r.'.xecutier Government :Intl of the Parliament, at the gr( 'ti of a power unknown to English history, and, in its r :nits, inaccessible to human conjecture—the natu ral offootiros. nevertheless, of obstinate ; grievances ote' of des •rooted poolocation. d on and telt :•,; whole :people for the sake of their rcleerieu. Ti..• Act for suporessing this terrible power, therefore, ought o. ite regorde I, it its outreg etas Out unavoidable despotism, as not ing more than t'ot meaanre of the evil whence it sprit t o—of that grand and eir:g;nal mischief, the degra dation seven millions of brave and loyal Catholics. The Act to he said to rontemplate, formally, the Catholic Aasoci -.ion alone ; but it is so framed as to invest the Lord - O.iciatenant with powers to disperse and put down all ho(: es whatsoever, though of a political character the most (-posits to that of the Associciation, which may ap pear it- mical to the public peace, from their tendency to prodto or prolong the spirit of triumph or mortification on sit er side. The new Bill begins with the present or late Association, which it severely denounces. It newt al ludes o the various shifts' and devices by which former statutes of simile: intent have been evaded, and gives the Lord Lieutenant authority—first, by proclamation to pro hibit all and every meeting " which he shall deem danger ous to the public peace or safety,"—a power which applies likewise to all meetings, adjourned, renewed, or otherwise continued, under any pretence whatever ; secondly, to disperse such meetings through the medium of two justices of the peace. The rent is the subject of peculiar penalties and clauses: those paying it under any name or pretence are to forfeit, not only the sums subscribed by them, but treble he amount in the nature of a penalty, to the Crown, and the party Acting as receiver of any rent is to be con sidered as a debtor to the King for the amount, besides being liable to a fine of 5001. By a clause of singular pun gency and rigour, any person receiving such contributions is compellable, by examination on oath, to discover his own delinquency. The act, as against the Catholic As sociation, isperpetrol ; against other assemblies it is in force but for a single year from the passing of the Act, and to the end of the then next Session of Parliament. This distinaion, however, has been explained by Mr. Peel: the Act is perpetual as to its abolrtion of the existing Association; as to all future meetings, tempo rary. Now that we have detailed the mechanism of this coercive instrument, unexampled in rigour, even with re ference to the Six Acts, it becomes our more pleasing duty to add, that the law will, according to all human ap pearance, been:tie as unnecessary as it is novel. Tile Dub lettere and newspapers acquaint us, that in an open Committee, where about 100 of the leading members of the Association met on Monday evening, the majority— and t 1: et majority composed of the first Catholic gentlemen for rattle and character —were , decidedly in favour of an im mediate and simple dissolution ; that the whole bench of Catlinie Bishops joined in recommending that course, full of wisalem and of kindly confidence in the honour of the King's Government, and in the beneficence of the Legisla tore ; that Mr. Sheil, strong in his own judgment, and for tified by the concurrence of the Catholic Church, had given notice of a motion to dissolve the Association instan ter, which. no man could doubt that be would carry. After the above sentences were written, we had the heart felt gratification of learning, through our Parliamentary reporters, that Mr. Spring Rice announced, as it were efficial.Ty, to the House of Commons, the dissolution of the res. subtable Association. We never heard intelligence more siasonoble or grateful than this. There seemed in deed to be an instinct in both countries, pervading sirmil taneously the minds of ail honest friends of the policy now adopted by Government, and of the sufferers whom it is destined to relieve, that the Association bad no fur ther duty to perform than to reinforce its friends and paralyze its foes by an immediate and spontaneous disso lution. We predicted this euthanasia of Catholic party spirit. on hearing the King's Speech read, and cordially do w e rejoice at its expiri n g in a manner so honourable to it- I self, and too generous towards the faithful advocates and supporters of Catholic freedom. If means the most triumphant had been sought, for striking dumb or dead the fierce cainmoiators of our Catholic fellow-subjects, what Walla could have been devised more potent or more admita'•le than this, the result of manly and upright feel in!!

If, co the one side, as we hinted yesterilety, the Duke of s Wrllinzton aml his coadjutors in the grand measure now in contemP'ation are exposed to private treachery and utas 'f.eserved hostility ; on the other, they are indulged with a clear stage, and true English fair pity. The Whigs might non' have been claiming no inconsiderable merit as the authors or first recomnienclers of that system for•the ad- miniAttation of Irish affairs, the necessity of which is at least felt and acknowledged. But the Whigs are silent on this pGint : they rejoice in the good, come from whatever hand it may, and cast no reflections. They have abstained An from any attempt to perplex Government or occupy ita time by the introduction of other topics mentioned in the King's Speech. The aff.►irs of Portugal, of Brazil, of the Greeks, and Russians,—all are postponed to the im portant acts now in progress or preparation for the assur- ing of internal nanquillity. We have no doubt but that Government are sensible of the forbearance, and will avail themselves of it to proceed with the utmost diligence in the conviction of the main enterprise.—llrid. The Catholic Claims will, for some time to come, en- gross the attention of both Houses. Last night one of the He;o!s of the nrw Opposition, the earl of Falmouth, wished to fasten a controver4y on the Duke of Wellington, by (dial _ _ _ lending an expression, which had been put in the mouth of his Grace in a published Report. "He wished to ask the Noble Duke—but he repeated, he wished to ask him, with all that courtesy and respect which were due to him— whether the Noble Duke had declared that the majority of the people of England were in favour of settling the qttes titn, and if he tocant by the phrase 'settling the question,' g ranting Catholic Emancipation?" The Duke of Wel lington objected to the irregulaiity of referring to a former &bate, but stated, that though he did not exactly re collect what expression he had used, he thought he had said On: a great portion of the people were desirous of seeing; the question brought to a favourable issue. How _ _ [ppen‘ it that Noble Lords, all of a sudden, attach so iuc•h importance to a numerical majority of the people ? row often have we been told by them that the opinion of :he people was only to be ascertained in Parliament ! Lord Holland sarcastically observed, " that the proper manner or the Noble Lnrd to obtain the information he wishes, is F.ir him to ask it of the House of Commons." What ! and is virtual representation quite out of favour now? Lord Falmouth, in his novel admiration of the plan of de- tiding by counting heads, observed, " he Phollid expect that the NoLie Duke would take an effectual means of asceit iin- ing the opinions of the people of England, by advising his Majesty to dissolve the Parliament. Be hoped the Noble Duke would take the usual mode of appealing to the country. Why, good Lord Fa!math, should the Noble Duke advise the King to dissolve the Parliament? When a Parliament proves refractory, and the Ministers of the Crown think ano ther Parliament might be more favourable, they recommend a dissolution ; but it was reserved for such pvofonnd politicians as your Lordship- and Lord Winchilsea to discover the wisdom of a King dissolving a 'Parliament because it is disposed to agree to the :neasmes proposed by the King. To dissolve a Parliament prematurely is to punish a Parliament ; and the purchaser of a Bo rough from :gym• Noble Lord who deals in that commo- dity called Virtual Representation, would think it a very odd return for him complaisance in voting for the Ali- nistry, to be tricked by them out of three or four years of his seat, and forced to fork out, to use a slang•ex- pressinn, his thousands twice over for his seat duripg the time for which he counted on plying only once. W e are sorry to hear from the Noble Earl such a wretched e,count of the people of Devon and Cornwall, as that tot one in a hundred are in favour of Catholic Einapvi. pttion. As it is notorious that year after year the Claims of the Catholics bare been view ,d more and more favour- ally by the enlightened part VA ' the community—that the Bar, the mercantile body of the city of London, the great towns, are in favour of concession—that in all those places where access to information is most easy, and the circula- tion of intelligence most rapid, the public feeling is pro nounced most decidedly in favour of that course which Ministers have deemed it advisable to adopt—there is a very strong presumption, that any plays., in which opinion is a hundred to one the other way, ;, very much in want of the schoolmaster. But we must be excused for entcr tain;og a doubt whether so many of the people of Devon and Cornwall are so ignorant as to sbare opinions, which cannot now find ere advocate of respectability (now that Mr. Peel has aban.ioned them) in either House of P.u•- l'ament. We know :kt at Penzance, one of the most populous places in Cornwall, an attempt to carry an anti-Catholic petitinn at a put;lie meeting was signally defeated, and the Brunswickers were covered with ridicule by Mr. Thomas Coulson, to the great satisfaction of the most of those pre sent. The Noble Eirl is ni.t probably aware of the degree in which be libels of the people of Devon and Cornwall in astrihnticz to them his own opinions. Lord Carnarvon alluded to the so ange letter to which .1•;., name of Lord Wiochilsea is affixed. " While he wos speaking on this question (he said) he could not help referring to the scan ner in which a Noble Earl's name had been made use of in , n absurd wrer which ha:i n roposeil so disown the King. He had no doubt that the use made of the Noble Lord's muse - was a forgery, lot the st,:ten:_nt to which it was offixrdcalled their Lordships deceni,rate *emators, who .vere prypareil to sacrifiee, at the shrine of treason .rod re- I:ion, that Consti'utinn for u hick their ancestor.so nobly t died ' T: e me h4l '.een when the author of suo , ': astitemi.lit would bavebeer calleTto theirLordships' bar : t ad committed trr pri•on. Rut their Lordships wen-disposed to act wiser than r hi., and trill;: surh a publication ag un- ,eau of their ^ ,:ice, as only expressing the ravings of a distempered fancy, and as beneai h any such proceeding." 'N at ! and is vas the way the heli's of the New Oppo sition are to be dealt with ? These strains, which, like the fiery cross that surnmaned the Highland clans to the field, were to he rap'dly I,orne over bill aid vale, to rally the indignant Protestants of Enelanil round hi. Lordship, treated as the ravings of a distempered finch, as calculated to provoke pity rather than anger ! The Duke of Newcastle incoherent, and the Earl of Winchelsea distempered Who would not feel confident under such leaders ? The presen tation of the Petition and counter Petition from the county of Kent, by Sir Edward Knatchbull and Lord Clifton, gave rise to some warmth of discussion on the subject of the part acted by Mr. Peel. Young men of parts in this country are in general more anxious for an opportunity of distinguish-- leg themselves than fastidious as to the side they shall take. They often live to regret the injudicious choice they have made, when they find themselves beset with difficulties—on the ope band, the prospect of incurring the bitter reproaches of associates on a change of opinion ; and on the other, the injury to their reputation for urderstanding (tospeak of no higher consideration) in persisting to support a ruinous policy. Mr. Peel, perhaps sincerely at first, from insuffi cient knowledge, embraced the intolerant doctrines then in vogue in Oxford ; and having once embraced them, he could not prevail on himself to risk the consequences of abandoning them. We are unwilling to think so poorly of his understanding as that his eyes were only opened to the f illy of resisting the Catholic Claims, and retaining Ireland in a state of incurable anarchy, so late as last August. But he had not been able to make up his mind to renounce his political errors formally till then. He saw hintself elevated to the situation of head of a party, of which he was indeed the only man of any reputation for talent; and this very circumstance must have added to hi.s per e'exity, preparing him, as it did, for a more than ordinary stare of vituperation. This ought to be a lesson to young men of ambition to weigh well the course they are about to adopt, and, however tempting the opportunity for display, t i withstand the temptation, if the policy cannot bear the strictest scrutiny. Mr. Peel's is by no means a solitary instance. We are persuaded that, of the scores of Mem bers of both Houses who have, within this year or two, gone over to the side of Concession, there is hardly one • who had not been convinced a considerable time before be mild prevail on himself to separate himself from his con nections. Mr. Peel deserves credit for having, when the affairs of Ireland had assumed an aspect of danger of the • most threatening kind, renounced his party for the welfare • of his country. He would have deserved more, no doubt, I had he taken the determination earlier. —Morning Chron. A Messenger arrived at a late hour on Satur d:y night fiom Ancona, with despatches from Sir F. Adam, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Isles, for Sir G. Murray: also from Sir Pulteney Nlaleohn, the Commander of the notal force in the Mediterranean, for Viscount Melville. Ea►l Bathurst was prevented from attending the King's Court, at Windsor, on Wc•!nesdity, by indisposi tion. His Lordship was, however, much better yesterday. MEETING AT BRISTOL AGAINST THE CA THOLICS --A noisy Meeting took place in this city yester day, at which were assembled ao less than from 10 to 15,000 persons. The parties were nearly equally matched, although sonic sagacious 13runswickers ventured to observe, that their party were full five to one against the Liberals. The question was carried in favour of the Brunstvickers, whose forces were marshalled with as much tart and adroit ness as at the Exeter or Penenden Heath Meeting.

An article from Berlin of the Gth says, that his Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND and a British Cabinet messenger had set out for London. We presume that his Royal Highness is coming over to announce in person his conversion with respect to the necessity of Catholic Emancipation. The Bruns*iek Clubs will look blue. The news from Constantinople in these Papers is very contradictory. One day the proposals of M. JAUBERT are received favourably, and the next they are spurned. The exchange of prisoners with Russia seems to have given rise to many vague rumours of peace. German Paper., of the Gth inst., say, that a Greek Expedition, intended for Candia, has been counter manded, in consequence of the remonstrance or in terference of the French and English Consuls. The Russian Officers who had repaired to Constantinople in a corvette bearing a flagof truce, bad returned again with a written answer, supposed to be a refusal to proposals for peace, and without having accom plished an exchange of prisoners, because the REIs EFFENDI would not exchange man for man but all the prisoners generally. The daily supply of Corn to the bakers was reduced to 7,000 kilos. JAUBERT has had several audiences of the REIS EFFENDI, but received no answer in, writing, In the meditated alterations and reductions of the NAVY BOARD it is said to be intended that Mr. TUCKER, Surveyor, Commissioners LEWIS and the Commissio ner .

The Catholic Association, as will be perceived by our Paper of to-day, have resolved upon immediate dissolution. They meet indeed yesterday, but this was more for the purpose of deferring to the opinion of Mr. O'CONNELL than for any active dis cussion. Should, however, Slich unfortunately arise, should the Association at all appear to recant the conclusion they have at present come to—a conclu sion precipitated confessedly by the animated apos trophe of Mr. SHELL—we shall then regret that the question of dissolution was not at once resolved on, without waiting for Mr. O'CoNNELL's opinion on the subject ; for really however much that Gentleman — and none has a higher respect for his patriotic per severance than ourselves—may deserve the compli ment of such as appeal, it should be altogether waived, when Emancipation may be, possibly re tarded by it. The season of suspense and anxiety is no season for compliment or adulation. With regard to the future bearing of the Catho lics, there can, we conceive, be but one opinion re specting it. They have many strenuous but honest opponents to convince, many prejudices to soften, many enmities to appease. Their conduct, there fore, should be exclusively forbearing and con ciliatory, firm but dispassionate, free from indecent exultation or clannish jealousy. They now stand at the porch of t mancipation, the door is thrown open to them, and the eyes of the world are fixed at tentively upon their movements, anxious to see in what frame of minchhey enter the hallowed vestibule.

CITY, TiVELTE The decline which took place in the Consol market at a late hour yesterday has been this into riing not only fully maintained but a still further depression has taken place, occasioned by a good supply of money stock; in fact, nothing but the rise which the French Funds came over at could have prevented the price from going down still further. Consols opened this morning at 86k, were done at 87, but have since kept drooping down to 86i both for money and account. India Bonds, 60 2 pm. ; Exchequer Bills, 62 3 pm. Not the slightest business has been transacted in the Foreign Funds to-day, and the prices may be gusted nomi nally as under. The Share speculations are in the same idle state. Three per Cent.

PLANTATION SUGARS.--allere was a fair quantity of business done on Tuesday, but yesterday and to-day the demand rather slackened, and the sales were principally confined to the few parcels of good qualities brought for ward, the short supply of which Still .continues to be felt by the Grocers. In prices there is no alteration. There are one or two arrivals from the Mauritius. Delivered last week from the West India Docks, 2,825 hhds., and 190 trs. Stock on hand in the West India Docks, (on 9th inst.) 25,732 hhds., and 2,135 trs. Stock on hand in the West India Docks (on Feb. 11th) 22,568 hhds., and 1,995 trs. FoiliGN SUGARS arc very little E nquired after, and the arrivals appear to be withheld from the market. REFINND SUGARS.—There is still a great deal of busi ness doing in this market, and the stock a goods on hand ready for delivery is very small ; prices consequently are very firmly maintained, and for some qualities an advance is given; for brown lamps, in which at present there is most doing, 765. has been freely paid, and there :ire now scarcely any to be hidd under thnt price ; the sales of crashed have been confined to a few parcels of the middling and good descriptions. COFFEE.—the transactions in this marliet continue to be very limited ; a parcel of Brazil (503 bags and 20 bar rels) was offered by public, sale on Tuesday, but all bought in from 355. 61 to 425. for pale good ordinary to fine or dinary coloury ; part of the Al ordinary coloury however was sold after the sale a 38s. ; a small parcel of Plautation (Jamaica) was offered yesterday and sold at very full prices, a few lots of good coloury bringing an advance.

YARMOUTH, ISLE 61 WLGirr.----Ort the afternoon of the 7th inst. hie Majestp's schooner Nighingale, commanded by Lieut. George Wood, on her passage from Plymouth to Portsmouth, struck on tile Shingles. A signal of distress was made, by firing guns, &c., and immediate assistance was afforded by Mr. Burnidge, pilot, of Cowes, and also by Lieut. Cruse, R.N., and his boats from Sconce Point coast guard station, who rendered every necessary assist ance to get the anchors out at low water ; a galley from the Stag revenue cutter also reached the vessel just in time to he of great assistance at low water. About 6 p.m. the wind being light from the N.W., and remarkably fine weather with smooth water, the vessel lying, on her lar board bilge, no doubt was apprehended by these on board of the vessels getting off without any damage ; hut on the flood tide making, the sea began to rise with the greatest rapidity, and - the boats left the shoal and anchored in deep water in safety, ready to come alongside if required. All hands were em ployed on board in shifting the ballast from the run for ward in the hold, securing the hatches and preparing to make sail, not doubting hut she would get off. About eight p. tn. the sea became so great, that it appeared dangerous for the boats to come alongside, and the foresail was hoisted on the foremast, in hopes that it would assist the sea in lifting the vessel off into deep water, every eye on board anxiously watching the Hurst Lights, to see if the vessel changed her position, but to no effect ; the chain was unshackled and veered nut, the vessel striking hard on the ground ; the sea became terrific, and now the vessel la boured much, the starboard bulwarks partly stove in, and the sea making a clear breach over the vessel, which alarmed the poor sailors who were working at the pumps : but being cheered up by the officers, they again went to work ; but a heavy and frightful sea now struck the vessel, which washed every soul from one side to the other, the companion and fore -scuttle were washed away, and the vessel filled instantly ; the shrieks on board at the instant were horrible, every soul expecting moinentary death, and as she now fell on her beam ends, it was with the greatest difficulty all hands could gain the weather rigging. A halloo was made by every one on (.ldatt:l hands gave board , as signal for the boats, but for more th an h a lf an hour they were kept in a dreadful suspense, it being very dark and no boat seen ; every one became hoarse, and being wet, the themselves sea en e breaking l:cs toov despair;er lr iin bevenerty‘mdbi't'dectioitoh o , all at last the joyful sound was heard, " The boats are in sight." They had the greatest difficulty in getting along side, which they (lid one by one, the people lowering and • throwing themselves down any how they could into them. The number of persons saved was 34, 30 of whom con sisted of the officers and crew, and the remaining four persons were, Lieutenant Cruse, R.N., Mr. Bennett, chief officer of Hurst station, Robert Dixon, a deputed mariner of the Stag revenue cutter, and Air. Llurnidge, the Cowes pilot, whose vessel took all hands on board from the boats. It is a painful duty,to state that the Commander's wife pe rished on board ; the heavy sea which filled the vessel washed the surgeon, who had Mrs. Wood round the waist, fro.o one side of the vessel to the other, and down the hatchway by the mainmast, where she perished ; the Sur geon with the greatest difficulty saved himself. The poor Commander, who appears to be worn out in the service, being c rippled in both .hands, and having been more than thirty years a lieutenant, during which he has fought Many battles, and who has been severely wounded (his dear wile sharing those dangers with him), endeavoured to extricate his wife, and got the assistance of a man ti put a rope around her, but to no purpose, she was dead ; her last words to her husband were, " Ah, my dear children, may the Almighty spare one of our lives for your • sakes." Lieutenant Ci use endeavoured all in his power to persuade Z.lrs. Wood to leaie the vessel in one of his boats, long before any danger was apprehended, and painted out his house near the beach, but no, she would rather be with her husband. He then endeavoured to persuade her to gn on board the pilot-boat, where she would be near; but these solicitations were not accepted, and the poor lady seemed determined to await the danger. She h,• ;.; ., l e f t three children. A pour unfortunate Lieutenant Cord, of • the Royal Navy, a passenger on board, and who was in sane, was also drowned on board. Several of the of and seamen, including the Commander, were very much wounded, bruised, and hurt—the latter person was with great difficulty saved. Viscount Melville, and Mr. Secretary Peel, visited the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday. In the Insolvent Debtors' Court yesterday, John Preston, who carried on the business of a baker in Chapel-street, Westminster, was sentenced to six months' impriSoninent for having fraudulently assigned the lea ~e of his house for a debt, to the injury of his other creditors. The assignment is void in law.
