" expedient." From such note of Preparation, there can be little doubt that there will be re dactions of Customs and Excise Duties, as well Rs of Assessed Taxes. [mOiklyiNo POST.] The general Catholic ;Meeting which took place on Skop.lay at the F r eemasons"favern, appears to - us to have been got up chiefly to gra tify an amiable weakness—in other words, to give some curious - people an opportunity of hearing two Or three Irish Catholic Agitators declaim in public. 'We trust these singular critics are now satis fi ed ; f or, if we may judge from the reports of the rations , we • imagine it will be long before they `-'cove,i a repetition of the exhibition. What did the eloquent strangers who s p o k e at t h e Free masons' Hall advanc e to weaken the sound judg ment on which Mr. Goulburn's Bill has passed the lower House of Parliament ? They fulminat ed dreadful imprecations against those who spurned" their prayer to grant permission that they might hear themselves spout at the Bar of the House of Commons—but were they able to mention a solitary fact militating against the va lidity of the grounds on which the measure has been adopted ? A highly coloured epitome of Irish history for 7 or 800 years was, we presume, a poor apology for the refutation of the penal charges against the Association. In the opinion of the Deputy Orators the subject seemed unworthy of argument—they talked wildly and wantonly—figuratively and - f . rociously—but a single reason we cannot dis cover in the whole web of their long spun dis courses. Was it then trash of that sort which the House of Commons has rejected—Was it such maudlin attempts at vindication, and rancorous but impotent displays of vindictiveness, that the Legislature was solicited to endure ? Verily, we opine our wise men of the West are doom ed to little honour out of their own country ; --there, may hap, they are the tritons among the minnows, and make a dreadful plutter no doubt ;—but here, we take leave to warn them, their philippics are equally unworthy of being reported and read. We are almost inclined to join with Mr. Secretary Canning in the wish that these Gentlemen might appear for once in their Eves in Parliament—for assuredly that is the place where " all demagogues shrink to their proper dimensions." [monNt No ctinONICLE-] Our readers will find elsewhere an ample ac count of the Catholic Meeting at Freemasons' Tavern, on Saturday last. We have so often ex pressed our sentiments on the subject of the Bill to put down the Catholic Association, that we will offer no remarks on it at present. We shall merely observe, that Mr. O'Connell gave a mas terly review of the Catholic persecutions, and summed up the grounds for passing the Suppres sion Bill, which might be all comprehended in the single one, that the Catholics were now unani mous. He contrived to place the objectors to the word hatred in the far-famed Address of the Association to the Catholics of Ireland, in rather an awkward position, by reducing them to the necessity of either approving of the Orange Societies, or disapproving of the Bible.—" I ap "• pealed," he says, " to the judgment, the pas " sions, and the fears of the people to support " my earnest recommendation to be peaceful, and ".why should I not appeal to them by the strong " feelings of resentment, by the natural hatred " they had to oppression ? If I had not, my sin " verity must have been doubted ; they might "have said to me, you have left out the grin " cipal ingredient of the dish. You are acting the " Advocate, but you have neglected to call the I " principal witness. Is is not legitimate to hate the robber, the oppressor, and the murderer? " I should prove that the Orangeman was all " this. Do I hate their persons ? No, God for " bid !—but 1 hate their principles. I shall " refer you to a book which we all respect, and 66 in which resentment is not alluded to in the " lady-like terms that mighf be agreeable to the 66 House of Commons. I will read you the lan -66 guage of Poetry. Iu Psa inr 132, v. 21,22, you " will find these words—' Do not I hate them,o " Lord, that hate thee ; and am not grieved with " those that rise up against thee ? Yea, I hate them ".right son. ; even as though they were mine 64 enemies!' "—Nit.. Shiell stated the outlines of a few of the cases of oppression which are of constant occurrence in Ireland, which admira bly serve to illustrate time argument of those wlio . contend that the Administration of Justice in Ireland is every thing that it ought to be. [Bit/TM' PRESS.] The Brussels papers of Saturday arrived last :light. The only intelligence they contain is, that on.. Tuesday the First Chamber of the States. General again debated the project of law rela tive to the French coin in the kingdom. Some Members protested against the renewal of the debate ; they also declared that they would not vote on the law, which they considered as having ?peep rejected in the sitting of the 18th of Ja nuary last, when the votes were equal. The Pre sident endeavour►'d to convince them that the prOceeding was perfectly constitutional. After a short debate, the project was adopted. Twenty. one voted for it, eight against it, and five refrain ed, from voting. On the Catholic Meethig at the Freemasons' Tavern on Saturday, we hei , e only a-single obser. vation to make. Mr. Canning was unhesitatingly contradicted when he said that there was a large /wi gs of inert opposition to the Catholic claims, a nd that The conduct of the Association was calcu lated to rouse the indifferent to hostility. If any doubt existed as to the correctness of the Right Hon. Secretary's assertion, it must now be re moved. All the attraction resulting from the wetl•known eloquence of the speakers, and the peculiar novelty of the occasion, failed in drawing together. SO numerous an assemblage.as we have. seen collected in the same Hall at the anniversary meetings of many charitable societies. No proof can be more positive that the Association has done injury to the cause it professed to supporl, (Md.) CTRS PUBLIC LEDGEIt.j : n e„ . . l r,rench Papers of las which arrived antaia nothing of importance, except the proceedings on the Indemnity Bill, in the Chamber of Deputies ; and the chief interest of these is in the matter more than in the manner. Nothing new, or particularly marked, was struck out in the course of the debate ; and the argu ments, both of its opponents and advocates, seem to have been pretty nearly exhausted. As to the fate of the measure in that Chamber, it is very accurately ascertained; and there is no doubt but it will be carried by a very triumph ant majority; its passing through the other Cham ber is not quite so certain ; though the chances, from what we have learned, are decidedly in its favour. Should Villelle carry this mea sure, his arrogance, which is a compound of the bloated feelings of the Gascon and the undeserving minion, will kick down before it all the fences of prudence ; but whether it will evaporate abroad or at home—in some outrageous act of foreign policy, or in a new in road upon the rights of the nation—it would be hazardous to try to anticipate. If it vent itself abroad, it will select either Russia or England for its object; but as the selection of the latter would be more acceptable to his party, and less hazardous to his own power, it is probable we shall have to bear the brunt of his insolence. His party, who will share in the pride of the triumph, and who hate England in proportion to the favours which she conferred on them in the days of their adversity, will never rest satisfied till they can gratify this hatred ; and no Minister would be secure, who should venture to oppose them in this feeling. Besides, they justly regard our liberty as an almost insurmountable check upon them in the prosecution of their arbitrary designs ; and as they are proverbially arrogant, they will, to a moral certainty, try to organize a general confe deracy, for the purpose of compelling this coun try to return within the pale of legitimacy. This is to be our remuneration for having replaced the Bourbons upon the French and Spanish Thrones. COUNTRY MARKETS AND FAIRS DURING TII LAST WEEK. BERM REA: SHIRE. kDING.

There was a great falling off in our supplies last week, yet there were more than the present wants of the trade required. A general dulness in the sale of every article haS prevailed since this day week, and, there being very few dealers at to day's market, few sales could be effected. Wheat generally supports its price, except for the very inferior descriptions : they were somewhat lower. The greatest bulk of the recent importation of Oats are very indifferent in quality,. and are full Id. per bushel cheaper, and the best about id. There is so little doing in Malt, Barley, Beans, Flour, or Oatmeal that we nominally quote former prices. The ports remaining closed against all foreign Grain or Flour, renders sales of those articles (unless at ruinous prices) improbable.
