BELL, Royal Exchange. -r-, „". *14144 - LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCI! 23, 1829. The great Surrey Meeting, on which so much ,stress was laid by the Anti-Catholic party, took Place on Saturday last, at Epsom. It seems, by all accounts, to have occasioned little or no sensation, 'the country folks having far more important matters to arrange —it being market day in the neighbouring to wns —and feeling therefore little inclined to listen to the discussion of a question which interfered with the sale of their butter, eggs, and cheese. Among the speakers, Mr. HOLME SUMNER distinguished himself by his intemperate zeal and energy, which were great, exactly in proportion to his deficiency of argument. He warmly deprecated the idea of being " bullied into concession by a lawless rabble," by which phrase he meant, we presume, to designate the whole Catholic population of Ireland. If such be really the case, we can only express cur admire tk'a of the , more than mortal assurance that could l ave prompted such an expression—an expression delivered not in the beat of debate, but calmly and .4elilierateli on tile hustings of a County Meeting, the course of a dull speech, concocted pro . 6411 - 1 Y for at l east a f ortn i g h t b e f ore h an d. T o 1, d any popular assembly which, by consti 'ineans, may be trying to recover privileges af which it has been unjustly possessed, by the ap- Pelktion o£" a lawless rabble," is monstrous; but t° 8444 such a stigma to a whole nation, is abso lutely, th e ne us ultra of political effrontery.

Nu mber of the 15th January ha, an article occupying seven columns, which the writer states to have been sug gested by reading an article in a Journal called the Mala gueta, published at Rio; the apparent object is stated to be to prevent any interference of Brazil in the affairs of Por tugal, and under this pretext to attack the Emperor, the Minister, and chief Officers of State. and thus alienate the Nation from the G. vernment. The writer of this article then proceeds to chew at great length that no nation ever had a better opportunity of making itself respected abroad than Brazil now has by interfering in the affairs of Portugal, an interference to which it is called by honour, gratitude, and its own intertat. To those who are" desirous of seeing a wonder —a real bond fide wonder—we would earnestly recommend the Atlas newspaper of yesterday. Its Editor should be the King of Brobdignag. There are full three thick octavo volumes of intelligence in this unprecedented hebdomadal journal (whose merits should be estimated by the acre); and greatly delighted should we be to find ourselves in possession of a landed estate of such magnitude. A mansion large enough to contain all the patriotism of the Ultra Tories might be built upon the space it occupies when unfolded ; a new Bedlam might be erected on the site filled up by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S speech alone! In short, such a Paper was never before heard, seen, or thought of. Pray, in what year of futurity is it to be read through ? 'Who among the present generation will live to achieve (without skipping) the perusal of its last page ! These are curious questions, which posterity alone can solve.

The quotation at which Consols for money opened this morning was 874 I, and 871 for the account, which is nearly the same price they have been at for several days past, and such has been the apathy in the market that not the slightest variation has hitherto taken place, and the business confined to one or two transactions. Exchequer Bills are stationary at 53 5 pm. ; India Bonds, 47 9 pm. The principal feature in the Foreign Stock market ha., been a decline in the price of Brazilian Bonds, from 60i to 59i, sellers ; Buenos Ayrer, from 29 30 to 23 ; Mexicar, 6 per Cent., 224 23 ; Danish and Russian Stork are at their former quotations, for the first 644 5; and fur the latter, 941 5.

HOUSE OF LORDS. The House a.t en Irish Appeals to-day The Lords present were the LORD CHANCELLOR, and Lords CLAREg- DON, and LIVERPOOL. The Bishop of WINCHESTER read prayers. O'REILLY V. FEATHERSTON. Mr. DANIEL READING attended from the:Court of Ex chequer of Ireland, to present papers in this appeal. In consequence of the late receipt of those papers, Counsel were not prepared to argue the case, and Mr. HoRNE asked that it might stand over till Monday next. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought he ought not to con sent to this, but suggested the placing of the appeal at the bottom of the paper. Mr. HORNE . and Mr. SUODEH trusted their Lordships would not adopt that course, but would appoint some early day. The LORD CHANCELLOR, after some discussion, said be would consider the subject further, and if with convenience to the House he could appoint an early day for the hearing he would do so, taking care to let the parties know what day that was. CARMICHASL V. WILSOX. This appeal was then called on, which involved several questions in the accounts of an executor, but the facts of the case were not of the slightest public importance. It appeared by the statements of Mr. PEPYS, who was Coun sel for the appellant, that eighty-nine suits in law and equity had been instituted in this case in Courts in Ireland, out of which had arisen_ sixty-four bills of costa. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. EX-PARTE ELSEE IN RE JOYNER. Mr. BICKERS/$M said, his Honour would recollect this was a bankrupt petition in the matter of the Rumford Bank, and the assignees now asked for an order of the Court, authorizing them to seize the furniture of Mr. Joyner, one of the bankrupts; the creditors had, at a meeting held some time after the bankruptcy, areed to let that gentleman retain it at a valuation, but subsequently some of them would not acquiesce in this arrangement, and insisted upon the assignees proceeding to public sale ; on their attempting to obtain possession of the furniture for such purpose, the bankrupt refused to give it up, and prevented them from so doing by force. _ _ Mr. Ron said be trusted - hi; Honour would not bear the petition at present, as Mr. Joyner, for whom he ap peared, had not bad time to answer the affidavits. After some further conversation the Vwx-CHANCELLOR directed the petition to stand over till the next day of petitions. _ _ A great number of petitions iverc postponed on ac count of the absence of Counsel. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, after the next Seal he would direct all cases, where the parties were not in at tendance at the time of their being called on, to be struck out of the paper. MAJORITY IN THE LORDS.—We have seen a letter ad'lresscd to R. P. M'DoswEr.r., Esq., by a Noble Marquis who is at present in London, arid has ac cess to the best sources of information, stating that the majority in the House of Lords in favour of the Duke of WELLING'roIes measure of relief, will be much greater than was anticipated. His Lordship says, "it will cer tainly be eighty, and I think may be much more."—Dublin Freeman's Journal. Sir HENRY HALFORD passed through this place a few days since to attend on the Marquis of CLEVE LAND, who has been seriously indisposed, at Borough bridge; but we arc happy to hear that his Lordship was, yesterday, considered something better,—Doncaster Goz. MANCHESIER CORN MARKET.—March 21. We have had a moderate dcinand for the best marks of Flour during the present week, with' very little inquiry for any sort of Grain or Malt. The attendance of buyers to this morning's market was rather small, with a moderate show of Foreign and Irish Wheat, for which the holders were demanding an advance of 4d. to 6d. per bushel ; - however, very few sales have been effected, and the currency is not more than 3d. above the 14th instant. Grinding Barley as last noted. Oats are held at Id. to 1 !•.:, d . above last Saturday's rates. Boiling Pease remain nominal; but Beans are in better request at the quotations.

The supplies of Grain and Flour last week were moderate, and this morning there is not much Corn of any kinu fresh up. A few select parcels of Wheat have been taken off readily at rather higher prices, and there is a moderate sale of second qualities at the terms of this day se'imight, but any thing stale or inferior meets little or no alteration. The Barley trade is not so lively as last week, and no further improvement can be noticed in prices. Beans of tine qualities find sale at rather snore money, but other sorts are still dull Pease are unaltered. The trade for Oats is tolerably good for the bes qualities at last quotations, but other descriptions go off slowly, at no alteration in value. Flour meets a fair sale, at no variation in price.

The Open of I Itlessicani was represented at this Theatre, for the second time, on Saturday night. It was received with much sang-froid by the audience, and will, we shrewdly suspect, be soon consigned to the tomb of all the Capulets. The house was fully and fashionably at tended. DRURY-L ANE THEATRE. Miss PHILLIPS made her first appearance here on Satur day night in Comedy,—as the representative of Lady Townley, in the sterling play of the Provoked Husband. lifer chief defects were a want of vivacity and variety : she was chaste, and elegant, and correct throughout ; but still there was a livelessness, a measured correctness about her, that she must contrive wholly to rid herself of, before she can expect to make an impression in the light sparkling graces of comedy. Mr. YOUNG was the Lord Townley, and went through the part in his usual gentlemanly style of excellence. After the co medy a new farce, from the pen—so we were led to under stand—of Mr. C. DIBDIN, and entitled " All at Sixes and Sevens," was produced. The plot chiefly consisted in the whims of a young lady (Miss Lovx), who, though the daughter of a Hampshire farmer, has been blessed with a genteel education. She cuts her true lover, and agrees to ♦isit Gretna with Whirlton (JorrEs), who once had a for tune, but by mortgaging it without his guardian's consent, has forfeited it, under the provisions of his father's will : at the end of the first stage, however, the young lady is overtaken by her father (Lino/4), and by her senses, and the two united induce her to return to her home and her original lover. Meanwhile her Gretna companion is arrested and sent to the Bench, where, after a proper quantum of durance vile, he is released by his guardian's declaring that he had only insisted on his right, for the sake of giving his ward a salutary lesson, and is now willing to restore him to his property. The piece was heard throughout with frigid in difference; and will probably be not more than once or twice repeated. The house was tolerably well attended.

The author iwho rrn rou3ll' of 'trench female society, is said to )a; l :leiliceed in . Strong' colours the dangerous intluetwe their fascinations on young Englishmen, THE CORN TRADE. The following interesting CIRCULAR, from an ex tensive Corn House in the North, has created a good deal of discussion, not only in MARK -LANE, but elsewhere : " The small supplies we receive weekly, and the short stock in the hands of the farmers, confirm the opinion that the deficiency of the Wheat crop in this district, at least, was not over-rated at a third, and the information received from other districts lead to the same conclusion respecting the crop all over the empire. Many people are, therefore, at a loss to account for the late reduction in the price of corn, and particularly in the price of Wheat. —When, however, we consider the recent conduct of the Bank of England, in declining to discount the paper of corn merchants at a time when they had made so large an importation of Wheat immediately after harvest, the sur prize ought not to be that prices fell so much, but that they did not fall more. " The policy of the Bank in withholding at such a period the usual facilities of discount from persons engaged in the Corn trade may well be questioned. It has been the cause of a much larger consumption of Wheat than would other wise have taken place—it has checked the purchase of Wheat abroad—it may possibly have the effect of exposing the country before we hare another harvest to the evils of a real scarcity. No man, who has given any attention to the subject, can pretend to say that we shall not yet have occasion for extensive importations of Wheat, and if from the reluctinn of prices the French Government should be again induced to compete with us in the buying up of Wheat in the Baltic (for the Governments instead of mer chants in other countries import under such circumstances) who can answer for the requisite supplies for this country being obtained ? Any restriction in the discounting of corn-factors' bills in London, quickly extends itself to the country, and particularly at a time when the country bankers have to provide for the withdrawing of the 1/. notes; thus leading to a system of forced and ruinous sales of Corn. That in such a state of things markets have re covered, is one of the strongest proofs of the extent and reality of that deficiency, under the consequences of which the country must be prepared to bear up and sustain itself." Under date of the 21st March, the same House ob serves— " The discredit which in London has been thrown upon bills of exchange, arising out of transactions in Corn, is still severely felt in the country; for in the maritime dis tricts the greatest parts of the bills in circulation are such as have been drawn in payment for Corn, and if those bills cease to be readily convertible into money, from that moment the demand for Corn is checked and restrained. In the northern part of this district (a part exclusively agricultural), the price of Wheat in one month actually fell from 80s. to 565. per quarter, and caused the greatest consternation ; for how were farmers with little more than half a crop, and with the price of Wheat at 565., to make shift to pay their rents? Whether the ban under which so large a portion of the circulating medium has been placed is partially relaxed, or the deficiency of the crop is so apparent, that public opinion is becoming too strong for this mischievous interference, is not easy to deter mine; but markets are recovering, and the farmers' supply of Wheat to-day was readily sold at 2s. to 3s. per quarter advance. Foreign Wheat was also more saleable, but not at a similar improvement in price. " Barley is 2s. per quarter, and Oats' about Is. per qr. dearer, since last Saturday, and the supply of both rather short." COMMUNICATION FROM DR. KNOX. TO THE EDITOR OF THE CALEDONIAN MERCURY. regret troubling either you or the public with any thing personal ; but I cannot be insensible of the feel ings of my friends, or of the character of the profession to which I have the honour of belonging. Had I alone been concerned, I should never have thought of obtruding on the public by this communication. I have a class of abOve 400 pupils. No person can be at the head of such an establishment without necessarily running the risk of being imposed spon by those who fur nish the material of their science to anatomical teachers ; and, accordingly, there is hardly any such person who has not occasionally incurred odium or suspicion from his sup posed accession to those violations of the law, without which anatomy can scarcely now be practised. That I should have become an object of popular prejudice, there fore, since mine happened to be the establishment with which Burke and Hare chiefly dealt, was nothing more than what I had to expect. But if means had not been purposely taken, and most keenly persevered in, to misre present facts, and to inflame the public mind, that preju dice would at least have stood on right ground, and would ultimately have passed away, by its being seen that I had been exposed to a mere misfortune, which would almost certainly have occurred to any body else who had been in my situation. But every effort has been employed to convert my mis fortune into positive and intended personal guilt of the most dreadful character. Scarcely any individual has ever been the object of more systematic or atrocious attacks than I have been. Nobody acquainted with this place requires to be told from what quarter these attacks have proceeded. I allowed them to go on for months without taking the slightest notice of them ; and I was inclined to adhere to this system, especially as the public authorities, by never charging me with any offence, gave the only attestation they could that they had nothing to charge me with. But my friends interfered for met Without consulting me they directed an agent to institute the most rigid and un sparing examination into the facts. I was totally unac quainted with this gentleman ; but I understand that in naming Mr. Ellis, they named a person whose character is a sufficient pledge for the propriety of his proceedings. The result of his inquiries was laid before the Dean of Faculty, and another Counsel, who were asked what ought to be done. These gentlemen gave it as their opinion, that the evidence was completely satisfactory, and that there was no want of actionable matter; but that there was one ground on which it was my duty to resist the temptation of going into a Court of Law. This was, that the disclosures of the most innocent proceedings even of the best conducted dissecting-room, must always shock the public, and be hurtful to science. But they recom mend that a few persons of undoubted weight and charac ter should be asked to investigate the matter, in order that if I deserved it, an attestation might be given to me which would be more satisfactory to my friends than any mere statements of mine could be expected to be. This led to the formation of a Committee, which was never meant by me to be any thing but private. But the fact of its sitting soon got into the newspapers, and hence the necessity under which I am placed, of explaining how that proceed ing, in which the public has been made to take an interest, has terminated. I have been on habits of friendship with some of the Committee; with others of them I have been acquainted; and some of them I don't even yet know by sight. I took no charge whatever of their proceedings. In order that there might be no pretence for saying that truth was ob structed from fear, I gave a written protection to every person to say.what he chose about or against me. The extent to which this was, in some instances, taken advan tage of, will probably not be soon forgotten by those who witnessed it. After a severe and laborious investigation of about six weeks, the result is contained in the following report, which was put into my bands last night. It is signed by every member of the Committee except one, who ceased to act long before the evidence was completed. I cannot be supposed to be a candid judge of my own case, and therefore it is extremely probable that any opi nion of mine, on the last vie:v adopted by the Commit tee, is incorrect, and theirs right. If it be so, I most willingly submit to the censure they have inflicted, and shall hold it my duty to profit from it by due care here after. My consolation is, that I have, at least, not been obstinate in my errors, and that no sanction has ever been given, in any fair quarter, to the more serious imputations by which it has been the interest of certain persons to assail me. Candid men will judge of IAP according to the situation in which I was placed: at tie time, and not ac cording to the wisdom which has unexpectedly been ac quired since. • This is the very first time that I have ever made any statement to the public in my own vindication,, and it shall be the last. It would be unjust to the authors Of the former calumnies to suppose that they would not re , :: new them now. I can only assure ',hem that, in to far as 1 am concerned, they will renew them in vain. have the honour to be, &c. &c. (Signed) R. KNOX. Edinburgh, 10, Surgeon's•square, March 17, 1829. REPORT OF THE COINIMITTE4; f , The Committee who, at the e request of ir. Knox, undertook t o i nvest i gate thc truth or fa e lsehOnd of the 7a mou in cir cu l i v i i on regarding Mini, h ave gone t r .rs v ib 9 t er ol tn vou , a ir dt a t ilo t yd ion io o fo f r ' roa ivi t tl ion enee, i t course nt of o a w n h o x h t - from evert quarter. They awe furnished with all w h ic h they required erorn knox himself, and though they have . failed .in some attempts tu prccure evidence, they have in most quarters succeeded in obtaining it, and especially from those persons who. ha,ve been represented to them as having poke the most confidently in support of these rumours —and they have unanimously agreed on the following re port:- I. The Committee have seen no evidence that Dr. Knox or his Assistants knew that murder was committed in procuring any of the subjects brought to his rooms, and the Committee firmly believe that they did not. 2. On the question whether any suspicion of murder at any time existed in Dr. Knox's mind, the Committee would observe that there were certainly several circum stances (already known to the public), regarding some of the subjects brought by Burke and flare, which, now that the truth has come out, appear calculated to excite that suspicion, particularly the very early period after death at which they were brought to the rooms, and the absence of external marks of disease, together with the opinion previously expressed by Dr. Knox, in common with most other anatomists, of the generally abandoned character of persons engaged in this traffic. But on the other hand, the Committee, after much anxious inquiry, have found no evidence of their actually having excited it in the mind of Dr. Knox, or of any other of the individuals who saw the bodies of these unfortunate persons, prior to the appre hension of Burke. These bodies do not appear in any instance to have borne any external marks by which it could have been known whether they had died by violence, or suddenly from natural causes, or from diseases of short duration; and the mode of protracted anatomical dissection, prac tised in this and other similar establishments, is such as would have made it very difficult to ascerta n the causes of death, even if special inquiry had been instituted with that intentioa. No evidence whatever has come before the Committee that any suspicion of murder was expressed to Dr. Knox, by any one, either of his assistants, or of his very numerous class (amounting to upwards of 400 students), or other persons who were in the practice of frequently visiting his rooms; and there are several circumstances in his conduct, particularly the complete publicity with which his establishment was managed, and his anxiety to lay each subject before the students as soon as possible after its re ception, which seem to the Committee strongly to indicate that he had no suspicion of the atrocious means by which they had been procured. It has also been proved to the satisfaction of the Com mittee, that no mutilation or disfigurement of any kind was ever practised with a view to conceal the features, or abstract unseasonably any part of the body, the presence of which might have facilitated detection ; and it appears clearly that the subjects brought by Burke and Hare were dissected in the same protracted manner as those procured from any other quarter. _ _ 3. The Committee have thought it proper to inquire further, whether there was any thing faulty or negligent in the regulations under which subjects were received into Dr. Knox's rooms, which gave or might give a peculiar facility to the disposal of the bodies obtained by these crimes; and on this point they think it their duty to state their opinion fully. It appears in evidence, that Dr. Knox had formed and expressed an opinion, long prior to any dealings with Burke and Hare, that a considerable supply of subjects for ana tomical purposes might be procured by purchase, and with out any crime, from the relations or connections of deceased persons in the lowest ranks of society. _ _ In forming this opinion, whether mistaken or not, the Committee cannot consider Dr. Knox to have been cul pable. They believe that there .is nothing contradictory to the law of the land in procuring subjects for dissection in that way, and they know that the opinion which Dr. Knox had formed on this point, though never acted on to any extent in this country, has been avowed by others of the highest character in the profession. But they think that Dr. Knox acted on this opinion in a very incautious manner. This preconceived opinion seems to have led him to give a ready ear to the plausible stories of Burke, who ap pears from all the evidence before the Committee to have conducted himself with great address, and appearance of honesty, as well in his conversations with Dr. Knox, as in his more frequent intercourse with his Assistants; and al ways to have represented himself as engaged in negocia tions of that description, and occasionally to have asked and obtained money in advance to enable him and his as !iodate to conclude bargins. Unfortunately, also, Dr. Knox had been led, apparently in consequence of the extent and variety of his avocations, to entrust the dealings with persons supplying subjects, and the reception of the subjects brought, to his assistants (seven in number), and to his door-keeper, indiscrimi nately. It appears also that he directed or allowed these dealings to be conducted on the understanding (common to him with some other anatomists), that it would only tend to diminish or divert the supply of subjects to make any particular inquiry of the persons bringing them, as to the place and mode of obtaining them. - In these respects the Committee consider the practice which was then adopted in Dr. Knox's rooms (whatever be the usage in this or other establishments in regard to sub jects obtained in the ordinary way) to have been very im proper in the case of persons bringing bodies which had not been interred. They think that the notoriously bad character of persons who generally engage in any such traffic, in addition to the novelty and particular nature of the system on which these men professed to be acting, un doubtedly demanded greater vigilance. The extent, therefore, to which (judging from the evi dence which they have been able to procure), the Committee think that Dr. Knox can be blamed on account of transac tions with Burke and Hare is, that by this laxity of the re gulations under which bodies were received into his rooms, he unintentionally gave a degree of facility to the disposal of the victims of their crimes, which, under better regula tions, would not have existed, and which is doubtless matter of deep and lasting regret, not only to himself, but to all who have reflected on the importance, and are therefore intertsted in the prosecution of the study of anatomy. B u t, while they point out this circumstauce as the only ground of censure which they can discover in the conduct of Dr. Knox, it is fair to observe, that perhaps the recent dis closures have made it appear reprehensible to many who would not otherwise have adverted to its possUe conse quences. . - March 13, 1829.
