'~ SPIRIT OF TiIiVIIBLIOVOURTNIALS. It appears from a report of one of the Irish Catholic meet ings, that an intention is entertainedsomewhere, of prosecut ing Mr. Shiel for a late speech, in which, if we have not for gotten it, that gentleman seemed to throw out some hint: conducive to the success of the next invasion of the Frenck or any other Government within steam-boat range of Ire land. That Mr. Shiel. is a rhapsodist—a rhodomontadis —and, though a writer of tragedies, and an orator at hist meetings, one of the least discreet, least reflecting, am' most dangerous counsellors by whom a people or a part) could be directed, we suppose there is a pretty general teoesent among all classes of men in both countries, ex cept -that small company of agitators with whom and for whose benefit he frets his frequent hour upon the Dublin stage. We have nothing to do now with the subject mat ter of Mr. Shiel's political complaints. Our part has long since been taken on the Catholic question, as one involv ing and incorporating the gravest considerations of justice and expediency by which the mind of an English states man has ever been engaged. As good Protestants, we have laboured for years to satisfy our brethren of the Es tablished 'Church, that the interests of the reformed reli gion would not be weakened by admitting the Ca tholic laity, under the present circumstances of the empire, to a share of the judicial, executive, and legislative power. As good Englishmen, it has been our aim to show that the dominion of Great Bri tain would be consolidated by giving the excluded nation an interc,ist in gupporting the greatness which they now fe, s icy it their interest to undermine ; and by attachi:,, g to the State the affections of a people whose re ,`ntments every brawler now finds an obvious pretext for exasperating bitterly against it. With all charity towards Mr. Shiel and his confederates of the Dublin Four Courts, we beast of having made by our efforts in the Catholic rause, more friends to emancipation during one week among the people of England, through whom only that measure must be carried, if at all, than in the five years of extrava gance, menace, and violence, he and the junta of which he is a member, have created on eith e r side o f-th e Ch anne l, —nay, further, that our main difficulty has been, to re assemble round the standard of Emancipation, those ofits early and honest champions, who had revolted from it in disgust at the declared hostility of the Catholic orators themselves towards England as a state, and towards Eng lishmen as a nation. Conceiving ourselves, and it is no presumption, to have been more useful and efficient advo cates of this great measure from the outset than Mr. Shiel, or any of those who have become the partners of his impolicy, we deprecate, in the name of all wise and up right men in both islands, the employment of such engines as he has been recently bringing into play. With con fidence we can assure the Irish associatoes, that if they lose their English friends, they will find no other friends in Europe. The House of Bourbon, in France and else where, bias got enough of meddling between Sovereign and subject, since the separation of North America from the British empire. Whatever other lessons may have been disregarded, that lesson at least will cling to the re membrance of the Royal House of France, so long as the revolutionary vicissitudes from 1787 to 1814 shall hold is place in history. So long as the anniversary of Louis the XVlth.'s death shall be kept as a day of mourning in the Court of his successors, so long will it present an amoni tion to their counsellors to take no part in civil wars, on questions of abstract right. The Irish orators may rest satisfied that the first principle of all European monarchies, is to take part with the Sovereign against the subject, if they interfere at all. What is the Catholic question in the British Empire but the question of Liberalism or Royalism in France ; the question of Hungarian prisilege in Austria ; that of a compulsory representation in Prussia; that of a return of the Flemings under the Crown of France; that of Polish independence? Each and every Government of Europe has stringed instruments at. home which would loudly vibrate to Irish Catholic insurrection ; and if this band of Dublin incendiaries should succeed in blowing up the passions of their poor countrymen to the point which they seem to aim at, they may desolate Ire land—they may depopulate the overcroweed soil—they may render more barbarout, and brutalize more irrecoverable, the surviving remnant of their miserable sictims ; but let them not be wild or mad enough to persuade themselees, that by force, whether foreign or domestic, they will secure that good which lies beyond the reach of peaceful and enlightened reasoning. Whether it be worth while to prosecute Mr. Shiel for the manifest mischief of his intentions, is quite a different question from the wisdom or folly of his words. As the grant of emaze cipation would be death to the notoriety of those who sub sist upon the clamour for it, so we might be inclined to think that they are never more thoroughly mortified or dis appointed than when Government seems to forget that such men are buzzing about its ears. It is not impossible, how ever doubtful, that in the present session this national mea sure may assume a more promising aspect than before ; but we are willing to acknowledge, that if Mr. Shicl be sentenced and effectually silenced, the act will be more cha racteristic of a Government which has the real welfare of the Catholics at heart, than ol one which opposes their emancipation.-- Ti mes . It is rumoured; that there have been bickerings between some of the Magnates of the land and their deputies in the Cabinet, on the subject of the duty to be imposed on im ported corn. The duty which Ministers proposed was fifteen shillings the first year, with a diminution of one shilling each year till ten shillings, at which it should stop. On the other hand, a great Northern Proprietor of Bo roughs insisted on twenty-five shillings; and distinctly stated, that any attempt to fix a lower duty should be frustrated in the House of Lords. Several Ministers, on this, threatened resignation. A compromise at length took place; and 17s. 6d., it is said, is the sum fixed on, with a reduction every. year till 12s. 6d.—Morning Chronicle. There is as evident an indisposition on the part of Mi nisters tosneet Parliament, awthere is among schoolboys to encounter what' is called "black Monday," at the close of their holydays. There is no doubt but that Parliament having once met, should have been kept together, were it not for 'any other reasons, than that the House o f L or d s m i g h t have proceeded with the appeals, and the House of Commons .14_th_its numerous election petitions. The consequence, we, , fear, will, be, that a great deal of the business Which ought to come before both Houses, will be slur red ove4orsansittedaltogetber ; and some of the most im portant matters will be left to be passed in thin Houses, when the approach, if not the arrival of the dog-days, has driven members back into the country. For this staving off of "'the evil day" various reasons may be assigned ; among the rest; a love of ease, the age and ill health of some of the Cabinet; no great cordiality among them on some important points of policy ; and a constant hope that the Chapter of Accidents will open at a more lucky page, the Totter daay takes place in opening it. However ridiculous it may seem to say so, there are those among our readers who must remember how fortunate Mr. Pitt was, on more occasions than one, in this last respect. Frequently, du ring his administration, when Parliament was about to meet under circumstances of extraordinary gloom and des pondency, would the' news of some great victory or other event arrive; r'''';" -g 4 - tone to the aspect of affairs, equally' gratifying and tompeetad. 'Brit Ministers are for post poning every - thing en subjects on which nothing in the 'Chapts of Accident s can help them; and thus, even the question of the ,Corp Laws, fixed for the 4th instant, i s which was irrevocably Postponed, we perceive by a Treasury ,eircular, for a week. Th e delay which has al ready taken place, and which is thus continued, upon this subject, is the more to be deplored, as it carries with it no advantage that we know of to any one, while it keeps the whole landed property of the country in a state of uncertainty and alarm, entailing positive loss, and that of the most serious and extensive nature, upon a mul titude of individuals engaged in the corn trade, either as 'growers or merchants. We do therefore earnestly hope that this will be the last delay the country will hea r of; but that the mighty panacea about which we were Ministers had completely IF&Tsly told,. two' mouths ago, made up their minds (a fact, however, which, in spite of these grave assurances, we are exceedingly inclined to Joubt), will, we trust, be at length developed; and we hope still more, that the mountain which has been so long in labour will produce an offspring somewhat more impor tant and valuable than that recorded in the fable. That some part of the delay upon this subject has not been altogether useless, we are already inclined to admit, inas much as it has enabled the good sense of the country to take the place of those strong symptoms of excitement under which the subject had been discussed in many places. For ourselves, we see no reason to depart from the plain grounds upon which we have all along viewed it. We think it desirable that corn, like every other com modity, should be furnished to the consumer at the lowest possible rate; but to expect the highly-taxed corn-grower of this country to compete with the untaxed farmer of fo reign countries, is too preposterous a proposition to admit of argument —Morning Herald. A Morning Paper of yesterday, with the laudable de sire of proving how desolate the prospects of this country are, when compared with those of our continental neigh bours, put forth the following statement in its columns : " An article inserted on Saturday in our paper, from Havre de Grace, accounts in some degree for the falling off in this last year in the import of cotton into Liverpool. It appeared from that article, that last year there were imported into Havre more than 200,000 bales of cotton—while the year before the amount was about 100,000 bales. Now the average import, we believe, into Liverpool, does not exceed 400,000 bales--we, therefore, see that Havre has overtaken Liverpool half way. In fact, France is making rapid strides in the cotton manufacturing branch of busi ness. We believe also that the Continent generally is making rapid strides in the same branch of manufacture, and the United States of America as well." Our contemporary is wrong, we suspect, when he states his belief that the average yearly importations of cotton into Liverpool do not exceed 400,000 bales. We know that the average of the last five years exceeds 530,000 bales. The Paper alluded to professes to give the actual importations into Havre for the last two years; but be fore any conclusion can be fairly drawn as to the compa rative import of the two places, it were well that the ac tual importations at Liverpool for the same period, should also be made known; the account then would stand thus : 1925 1826 Imported into Liverpool ...... 703,000 bales 490,000 bales. Havre........... 100,000 do. The statement in question, we are told, " accounts for the falling off of the importations into Liverpool." Can it be possible that the writer of this paragraph was not aware that very large Exports of Cotton took place from Liverpool to Havre, in 1826. It would have been but candid in him, (if, indeed, he knew any thing about the matter) to have explained, that in the year 1825, in con sequence of the spirit of speculation, which prevailed so generally here, the prices of this article were consider ably higher than on the Continent, so that the orders sent from those markets could not be executed here ; and, there are certain worldly minded men, who, strange to say, invariably send their commodities to those places where the highest prices can be obtained for them. Hence, the Stocks in the hands of Foreign Merchants became completely exhausted, while our own markets were glutted to an excess. During the last year the case has been completely reversed—and to this cause alone can be ascribed the increased importations into the Continental ports within that period; a circumstance which, without the explanation, carries improbability on the face of it ; for the manufactures of France are by no means in the flourishing state thus represented. Accounts have repeatedly reached us, on the contrary, describing the condition of the French manufacturer as most wretched; but suppose, for au instant, that which has been alleged to be true—by what term can we designate those persons who are continually seeking for statements, which, if credit were attached to them, could only tend to depress the enterprise, and damp the energies, of a class, upon whom distress has but lately pressed so heavily ?—New Times. ELLISTON'S BANKRUPTCY. A private meeting of the creditors tinder Mr. Elliston's bank ruptcy, was held onFriday, at the Messenger's Rooms, to take into consideration matters which were ordered by the Commissioners, at the last public meeting, to be that day discussed. The first subject was the claim advanced by Mr. Caleraft, M.P. on behalf of the Proprietors of Drury-lane Theatre, of which body he is their Annual Chairman, and is considered the representa tire, for a considerable sum due by the bankrupt to the Theatre, for the rent of the house, which had been allowed to run for some time. At the last meeting, the solicitor for the assignees said, he was taken by surprise in this claim, as they could not have ima gined so large a sum to be due to the Proprietors, who should have either paid themselves out of the nightly receipts, or taken the concern out of the bankrupt's hands altogether. To this it was replied, on the part of the Proprietors, that the commission could not be taken by surprise, as, at the last public Meeting of Mr. Elliston's creditors, notice had been given of the debt now claimed, and that it was for the general benefit of the creditors the Theatre had been left in the bankrupt's hands, to af ford him an opportunity of retrieving the circumstances, and meet ing his demands. The result of the present meeting was, we understood, that the claim advanced by Mr. Calcraft was recognised, and allowed to be proved. The other matter which came before the Meeting related to a mortgage made on the Croydon Theatre, to Mr. Soame, by the bankrupt, fin• a sum of now amounting, with the interest, to -, and which, as the mortgagee was not anxious to fore close and sell, being unwilling to buy the property himself, it was determined to offer for sale. The Commissioners had objected to ordering a sale, conceiving that they had not power to do so; but the Solicitor having pointed their attention to a precedent exactly in point, it was at length ordered to proceed to a sale.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB. 5. • IS RE WALLBANK. Mr. LAwxs applied to the Court for leave to file a petition against a person of the name of Wallbank, one of the Sergeants of Mace for the city of London, for having misconducted himself in the execution of his duty. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE inquired whether the facts were set out in the affidavit - of the petitioner. Mr. LAwxs-No, my Lord. The Loan Cum. JUSTICE was of opinion that the facts should be stated in the affidavit, and therefore directed that the affidavit should be amended. TRY ICING V. HASELDEN AND OTHERS. The defendants, James Haselden, Wm. Gray (an attorney), John H. Nairne, and James Marshall, had been indicted and found guilty, at the last sittings in London, of a conspiracy to sue out a fradttlent commission of bankruptcy against the de fendant Haselden, with the intent to defraud his bona fide creditors. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE pronounced the sentence of the Court, that James Haselden should be imprisoned in his Majesty's g a ol of Newgate for two years, and that William Gray, John Henry Nairne, and James Marshall, should be imprisoned in the House of Correction, Cold Bath-holds, for one year, and that it should be made part of the judgment against Gray that he should be struck off the rolls of this Court. Tllit KING V. EDWARD GIBBON WAKEFIELD. Mr. Sergeant CROSS moved for a rule to show cause why a writ of procedendo should not issue for the trial of this prosecu tion in the County Palatine of Lancaster. A writ of certiorari had been granted by one of their Lordships, removing it into this Court. The LORD Cnitr JUSTIGR inquired by which of his Learned Brothers it had been granted. Mr. Sergeant Caoss—By Mr. Justice Bayley, my Lord. Mr. Justice Bayley having just left the Court, The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE observed, it would be more satis factory if the Learned Sergeant would move when his Learned Brother was present. If he would present himself to his atten tion, he would take care to attend to it. THE XING'S. SAMUEL MAINE AND ANOTHER. The defendants, Samuel Mayne and James Pearce, bad been indicted and found guilty at the last Middlesex Sittings of an assault on a person of the name of Hopping, by forcibly putting him out of Hanworth Park, on the evening of Sunday the 16th of April last, and imprisoning him for the night in the cage. Mr. Justice HOLROTD pronounced the judgment of the Court, that the defendant Samuel Mayne should pay a fine to the King of 51., and the other defendant of 10s., and be imprisoned until their respective fines be paid. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, FEB. 5. Charles Fitz Adderley, a young man of respectable appear ance and connexions, was brought up for final hearing, and to re ceive the judgment of the Court. The opposing creditor is the proprietor and compiler of a litho graphic work connected with the topography of England, &c. Having signified that he was desirous of obtaining the services of gentlemen of address and education, to exhibit specimens and no licit subscriptions from the nobility, &c., the insolvent offered himself and stated his qualifications, and witness understood him to say that he was an officer in the navy, upon half-pay. The engagement on the part of the opposing creditor was to pay 71. to the insolvent for every subscriber procured by him, and the latter obtained 5/. to pay part of the expenses of his journey to the north. During his tour he drew several other sums on account, making 83/. in the whole, and signatures were sent up purporting to be the hand-writing of persons of distinction, several of which turned out to be complete forgeries. The Caner COMMISSIONER. observed, that on a previous oc casion strong language bad been used in reference to the insolvent's conduct, but not stronger tha❑ the case merited, for the Court viewed it as a clear and melancholy case of obtaining by fraudu lent representations. The Court then ordered and adjudged that the insolvent should he confined within the walls of the prison, at the suit of Mr. Lewis, for 12 calendar months, for fraudulently contracting a debt with him, and that he be deprived of the rules and day rules. The remand to be computed from the date of the petition. SALE of the LATE DUKE of YORK'S HORSES. The sale of the horses, dogs, carriages, &c. of his late Royal Highness the Duke of York attracted considerable attention at Tattersall's yesterday. Before one o'clock, the premises were crowded with visitors and purchasers; among whom we observed the following . Noblemen and Gentlemen :—Duke of Richmond, Marquis Graham, Earl of Mountcharles (who attended for the King), Earl Bruce, Earl of Chesterfield, Lords Southampton, Fitzroy, Orford, Harborough, Pembroke, Genaral Grosve nor, Colonels Russell, Leigh, Udney, Messrs. Greville, Charlton, Payne, &c. &c. Thy sale consisted of thirty thorough bred horses, seven hacks (which it will be seen fetched high prices), ten lots of carriages, gigs, and har ness, &c. and twelve dogs. Of the ten gray barouche • geldings, two were on job to to H.R.H. from Mr. Vernon, and fetched 195 and 160g5.; eight were on job from Mr. Milton, and were sold in the course of the day, by private contract, to a foreigner for the Duchess de Berri ; the price we believe, 1500 gs. Two hacks, on job also, fetched 160 and 165g5., and were sold to Lord Pembroke and Mr. He therington.—The following is a complete list of the prices and the purchasers : Guineas. The well-known stallion Moses, sold to the Duke of • Richmond for . l,lOO Don Carlos by Election, out of Miss Wasp-111r. Wigram 195 A Gray Barb hone, from Tripoli-117r. Macdonald ...

MANSION-HOUSE.—Lord Teynham waited upon the Loan MAYOR, to deny the general truth of the statement made to his Lordship by the female who was brought before him from the Refuge for the Houselcss. His Lordship, we understand, complained that such a liberty should be taken by the press as to mention the name of a Peer of the realm in such a manner as to reflect upon him. His Lord ship stated that he buried his brother in 181 t. The latter, he declared, married, in 1802; Anne Smollett, at the church of St. Anne, Soho ; they disagreed and separated, and she was living at the time of his death, and has since (his Lordship was told) mar ried again. Therefore Mary Rivitt could not be his widow. She was not the daughter of a Captain in the navy, hut of some "low man" in Norwich, where his Lordship believed she had a sister married to a manufacturer. It is requisite to state, that the circumstances under which the female in question was received at the Refuge for the Houseless, and brought before the Lord Mayor, were—first, that she was undoubtedly in extreme distress ; secondly, that she produced a certificate of marriage between her and Mr. E. Roper, at Maryle bone Church, in 1900 ; eo that, according to his Lordship's state ment, it must be a forgery, or his brother must have contracted the marriage criminally. Then she produced letters and docu ments from other persons, from Mr. Fentum, the music-seller, and others ; and Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith, when referred to, declared. they knew her, and had opened a subscription, and were ready to receive subscriptions again in her behalf. These circumstances, together with the fact of a subscription having been opened bef o re, which his Lordship had not, it is un derstood, in any way noticed, led to the conclusion that the case was one which might be depended upon. Impostors never can do any thing more fatal to their career than to allow the public state . - m t eis snutreoftotheeirlicc suh l m. Several small sums of money have been received for her. i a t se s the a be: e t x a i a p t n a c g e e a v s i d t e h n e c e M a fo n r i o or n- h a o g u a s i e n ' s t s t n h ce e GUILDHALL.--James Prior was again brought up for exa mination, yesterday, before Mr. Alderman 'enables. Alderman VENjuLas—l have never been severe in putting the law against beggars in force; but I do feel that yours is a case that should be marked with severity. Let him go to Bridewell for fourteen dam and be put to hard labour." The prisoner professed himself grateful for'this decision, as he would have opportunities of reading his religious books (of which he had a pile under his arm), and he would be " harboured" for a further portion of the inclement season. BOW-STREET.—Lord Harborough came to this office yes terday to complain of a report which appeared in the Morning Chronicle of Friday last, in which his Lordship's name was intro duced, connected with the case of an unfortunate woman, named Smith, who, under the pressure of severe bodily misery and mental sufferings, presented herself to the Magistrate to solicit his inter ference in obtaining the restoration of some articles of wearing apparel, which were detained at her late lodgings in Duke-street, Adelphi, for non-payment of rent. His Lordship, in stating his complaint, said it would appear by the Newspaper, that the letter to which the report referred had come from him, a statement which was contrary to fact. Mr. Hugh Lewis, a solicitor, Coroner for the Duchy of Lan caster, and formerly Deputy Coroner for Westminster, was brought up by a constable of Harrow (where Mr. Lewis resides), on a warrant, charging him with unlawfully pawning six silver tea-spoons, and one silver table-spoon, the property of a person named Nash, residing at No. 1, Strand-lane, St. Mary-le-Strand. Mr. HALLS, the Magistrate, expressed his surprise in the first place, that the warrant should have been taken out so far back as October last, and that the alleged offence should have been com mitted four years ago. Mr. Nash stated that four years ago Mr. Lewis occupied some premises of his, for the purpose of transacting his business, con nected with the Duchy of Lancaster ; they had a great many transactions, and Mr. Lewis had received not less than 3001. of his money. In February, 1823, Mr. Lewis gave him a duplicate of the spoons in question, and told hith that he had pawned them. He never gave Mr. Lewis authority to pawn them. Mr. Lewis—Me give you a duplicate? Witness—He went to the pawnbroker's, Mr. Potter, who lives near the King's Bench, and redeemed them. (The witness here produced the spoons.) Mr. HALLS asked Mr. Lewis if he had any observation to offer in explanation of the charge?-111r. Lewis said that the charge was a gross fabrication of Mr. Nash's, and he knew the object he had in view. Mr. HALLS asked what evidence there was to prove Mr. Lewis had pawned the spoons ?—Mr. Nash replied that the person who was shopman to Mr. Potter at the time they were pledged, could be brought forward on a future day, and would speak to that fact. Mr. HALLS-Pray, Mr. Nash, why has this charge been sleeping for four years? Mr. Nash—There have been other transactions, and Mr. Lewis promised to settle. He gave :me other duplicates. Mr. Lewis—Pray where are the duplicates you say I gave to you ? Mr. HALLS advised Mr. Lewis to say nothing further till the examination of the prosecutor was completed, and he put his former question again to Nash. Mr. Nash—l applied to several places against Mr. Lewis; I did not delay, but, as I said, he pro mised to settle. Mr. HALLS---Where did you apply ? You say you applied at several places; now, 'on your oath, did you apply at any Office except this?..—Mr. Nash (after some hebitation)—No, I did not. Mr. HALLS—Why did you not take Mr. Lewis upon the war rant you obtained in October last, before the present time?— Mr. Nash—l never saw him since that period but once, and that was in the City of London, and the warrant was not backed. Mr. Lewis—! have constantly been at home at my house at Harrow ever since October. Mr. HALLS observed, that there was no case against Mr. L. ; and as he was unable to obtain from Mr. Nash a reason why the charge had been sleeping for four years, he dismissed the accused, and told Mr. Nash that he might proceed against Mr. Lewis by action, to recover the value of the property. Mr. Lewis, on going along the passage of the office, was ar rested by a Sheriff's officer. He expressed himself very indig nantly against the conduct of the prosecutor, in bringing him to the office on a criminal charge for the purpose of taking him on a civil process. HATTON-GARDEN.—Yesterday, Mr. Hcathcoate, a gen tleman of fortune, residing at No. 54., Pall-mall, appeared before A. S. LAING, Esq., the sitting magistrate, on &warrant obtained against him on Saturday evening, at the instance of his wife, Mrs. E. W. Heathcote, a lady of interesting iippearance, who charged him with various acts of cruelty. The charge was clearly established, and Mr. Ileatheote was ordered to find bail for the assault on his wife. Two gentlemen present tendered their bail, which was immediately accepted, and the parties withdrew, Mrs. Heathcote under the protection of the friends who escorted her to the office. 3IARYLEBONE-OFFICE.--Yesterday James Eves, one of the toll-takers of the Tyburn trust, appeared on a summons before Jonl9 R.t.wl.ll9soN, Esq., to answer the complaint of Mr. Dodd, of Frith-street, Soho-square, for having taken more than the legal toll. The defendant was convicted in the penalty of 10s. and costs, which he instantly paid and was dismissed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Tne LATE ROBBERY THE TRAVELLERS' CLUI3..HOUSE.-In consequence of the pub licity given to this robbery in the different newspapers, Mr. Setle, a pawnbroker, in Barbican ; Mr Barrett, another pawn broker, residing in the same neighbourhood ; and Mr. Foligno, a dealer, in the Commercial-road, came before Mr. Roe yesterday, and delivered up five of the seven candlesticks which had come into their possession, in the following manner : On Wednesday rooming last (the day after the robbery) a fashion ably-dressed man went to the shop of Mr. Serie, and offered to sell him seven of the silver candlesticks, which he, bought for 291. at the rate of 4s. 10d. per oz. The same day Mr. Serle sold them to Mr. Foligno, at the rate of ss. 4d. per ounce, and on the following day Mr. Barrett purchased two of the candle sticks of Mr. Foligno, at the rate of 6s. 3d. per ounce. Mr. Fo ligno, on Friday, saw an account in the newspapers of the candle sticks having been stolen, and information was given at the Club house of the purchasers, when it was arranged that the patties should appear yesterday before the Magistrate. An officer was directed to keep possession of the candlesticks, as it is hoped that the robber (whose person is well known) will be soon in custody. Yesterday Bishop, one of the officers of Bow-street, came to this office, by the order of Mr. Hobbouse, Under Secretary of State, sanctioned by Mr. Peel, to apologize to Mr. Conant, one of the Magistrates of this office, for some very unbecoming terms, in which he (Bishop) bad alluded in a letter which he published in an evening paper, to some observations which Mr. Conant had made upon a part of his conduct. Mr. Roe told him that it .was clear lie now even only apo logized from compulsion. If, however, Mr. Dyer, now absent should concur in the sufficiency of the apology, they would re quest the Secretary of State to take no further notice of the matter. Printed and Publishod by M.

Mr. O'Corneere, in announcing to the meeting tl.at Sir Francis Burdett was confined by indisposition at his seat in Gloucestershire, and would not, in all probability, be able to-at tend his Parliamentary duties in time to present their general pe tition, said, the course he would suggest would be for the Secre tary of the present meeting to write to Sir Francis Burdett by that post, and inform him of the determination of the Catholics to press for an immediate discussion, and to request him, should he be unable to attend to present their petition on the first day of the meeting of Parliament, to appoint some other member to pre sent it; they would be quite satisfied with any member whom Sir Francis Burdett might nominate. It was extremely important, lie said, to have a discussion as speedily as possible; the mea sure of prosecuting Mr. Sheil for his speech, had been re solved on, and this furnished an additional proof how title reliance they could place upon the pretended friendships of the present Administration. They had nothing whatever to expect from such Peel. he l y . commenced Whe the Ministers an unnatural coalition as this Administrati on f orme d. H e wou ld pronounce the coalition of Mr. Canning, with the pr esen t C a bi net , a base coalition. It was base and unworthy of Mr. Canning, t o form a coalition with Lord Liverpool and Lord Eldon ; and o f Mr. Plunkett to wanted join i n toa n introduce Administration the A g with ere / i Al i ( • ,. P t ,by an attempt to prosecute him (Mr. O'Connell) and that having failed, they now attacked his talented and patriotic friend, Mr. Sheil. Mr. O'Connell concluded with his motion for addressing Sir Francis Burdett, which passed unanimously. The Learned Gentleman informed the meeting that he would have the Address to the People of Ireland ready for the Adjourned Meeting on Wednesday. JAMES O'CONNELL, Esq. was then called to the chair, and thanks being voted to Mr. Foster, the meeting adjourned to Wed nesday, the 7th inst.—Freeman's Journal. LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD.
