We have received .German Papers, which ,are nut of any importance, and which, in consequence of the pressure of other, matter, we most defer , the insertion till a more convenient time, The following is the only notice worth extracting at present : " ITALY, MARCH I .--There has been a tt;mult at Rimini on acconnt of the dearth of corn, which has occasioned a very severe proclamation to be published by Monsignor iTtrratmaz l'ioccA, the Papal Delegate in Romegnii, dated 18tht February Two of the chief ringleaders ware dent to the gallies for life, and a third for 20 years, all is 1 t is expressed in the sentence) without hope of pat don," We have Jamaica Gazettes to the 28th January, but they contain no news of consequence.

The, excellent Petition of the Bankers, Mee chants, and Traders, Of the City of London, which we inserted Oil d.ky, hits not been ma tured, at least so far as concerns ita•presentation to the House of Commons. At the time we went to press on Saturday, several hundred (We be lieve 700) most respectable slgnattmes had sanc tioned this el/moment in the course of the two hours it had been prepared. Some persons however, ,either. hostile to the measure' or luke %min in the cause, succeeded in pefsuading the Petitioners, that as the discussion come on to night in the House, they were too late with the expression of their sentiments. In consequence of this persuasion, the Petition was withdrawn, though it WAS notorious that had it been set On foot'ouly a few days earlier, it would, for nUnt bet s, wealth, and character; have at least equalled the Petition against the Tax. We do not know whether under these circum stances the Counter Petitioners will think it 'ad viseable to ,complete their design, so far as to 'manifest the feelings of the City in a Petition to the House of Lords, for which there is yet sufficient time. Should they do so, it will be seen that extraordinary ns the spectacle of aiding the hands of Government in the imposition of a heavy Tax, there exists in London as well as in the places we enumerated on Saturday, and those we mention below, that spirit of true patriotism which does not shrink from self-infliction for the good of the Country. A 'Morning Netvspaper hiving asserted that the Counter-Petition lay fur "some days" artlite City of London Tavern, and was signed by " Men" persons, it is our duty to correct two trifling err ors oi the press, which are then—for " days," - read " howl," and for /coven, - rea, " seven hundred."
