We copy the following paragraph from the Cork Reporter, the organ of the O'Connell party in the south of Ireland :-- "THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. y cm g : . Ohliplloll J., - . ;...i. I , :...•.. . ' t''' ! .-. . 1- • .',.. : . '• • i NI, .-. tr io* • 5 ....,t.. 4-/ will be satisfied with. The Conservatives must be mad, if, by obstinately opposing all improve ment, they force on a collision, which they must see Ministers are anxious to avoid, but which, if the people be set altogether at defiance, cannot be avoided. It will be readily admitted that the intelligence and respectability of the community were very fairly represented by the 300 gentle men who partook of the Manchester dinner. Of them it will not be said that they have not a deep interest in the welfare of the country. The opinions of such a body are, therefore, entitled to the utmost attention from men in power. In the outset, the President, Air. Benjamin Hey wood, late Member for the county, delivered the following opinion with regard to Ministers : " I am free to admit, that the time has now ar rived, when Ministers must proceed with a bolder and a more vigorous step in their efforts —(Great applause)—and that the people must urge their claims more vigorously and more de cidedly upon them. Such, I think, will be the course, both for the Ministers and for the peo ple ; but sure I am, that if Ministers, through any mistaken fears of their enemies, proceed with hesitation or with faltering steps, or if the people leave Ministers to fight their battles un supported, victory will speedily be the portion of the enemy.—(Hear, hear.)" Mr. Heywood, in proposing the health of his Majesty's Minis ters, observed that this country never had an Administration so deeply deserving of entire confidence, and the toast was drunk with im mense applause. Mr. Poulett Thomson, in a vary able and eloquent speech, reviewed the conduct of Ministers during the past session, and fairly and freely discussed the measures which are now engaging the attention of the country. Mr. Philips, his colleague, is a politi cian of the most fervent description. He was all for attack : " With every disposition (he said) on my part to make allowance for the Herculean labour which a reformed Parliament had before it, in cleansing the Augean stable of the political abuses accumulated under a vicious system of representation, I had earnestly hoped to have enlisted myself under the banner of the present Administration, and with a bold and ste,dy step to have been led by them against the enemy, to have laid siege to his strong hold., and in the open field to have outflanked and dislodged him from a series of formidable positions. But, gentle men, it appears that I was too ardent in my views ; that caution and policy, which, as one of the new levy—as a raw recruit—l could not appreciate, induced those under whom I was anxious to have served to halt when it was any desire to have advanced, and to rest upon their arms when I wanted to have had the word of command given for the attack.—(Applause.)" If Mr. Philips, with all his fiery zeal, were charged. with the serious responsibility of pre serving peace and order in this great nation, his language would, no doubt, be somewhat more moderate. A Mr. Absalom Watkin was espe cially invited by the President to deliver his sentiments on the subject of the working classes, and he certainly made a most interesting speech. His account of the debasement and degradation which uniformly accompany the introduction of Irish labourers into the towns and villages of this country is deserving of the most serious attention. The picture which he drew of the progress of one village from peace and happiness to misery and crime, through the settlement of Irish in it, affords a lesson which we trust will not be lost on our legislators. Morning Chronicle. " VACANT SE; OF CASHEL.—We have twice before assured our readers that we have the best authority for stating that the Right Rev. Dr. Mac Hale would be tran slated to the vacant see of Cashel; we now repeat our former assurance, with increased confidence in the source of our information. It affords us sincere pleasure to find that our sentiments respecting that distinguished prela•e have been re-echoed by every thing patriotic in Ireland. The very flattering mention made by Mr. O'Connell on a late public occasion, in Dublin, of the Bishop of Maronia, renders further eulogy altogether unnecessary. We shall only add, that the elevation of this gifted and dignified eeclesiastie will be hailed with universal delight throughout. not alone the province, but all Ireland."—Cork Reporter. The testimony of Mr. O'Connell to the qualifications of Dr. Mac Hale for the titular archbishopric of Cashel, stamps a value on his character which cannot fail to make it duly appreciated by all admirers of the spiritual co operators in the work of political agitation. The most intolerant of the Irish Priests patronize Mr. O'Connell, and he patronizes them in turn. There is reciprocity in the thing. He gets the tribute, and they get the praise. We can easily estimate the exact degree of zeal and influence which Dr. Mac Hale exhibited in " sending rowid the hat" for the mendicant patriot, by the degree of temperature to which his reputation rises on Mr. O'Connell's scale of eulogy. He deserves a cardinal's hat as his reward, and as Mr. O'Connell's recommendation is so powerful with the Holy See as to raise him to the arch bishopric of Cashel, he may yet be able to adorn the brows of this political Priest, with She capacious honours of the " crimson beaver,"—the appropriate decoration of one of the most intolerant children of the meek and lowly "scarlet lady," who, despite the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel's securities for the Protestant religion, looks with expectant eye towards the restoration of her " patrimony" in "green Erin of the streams." Truly the ex tinction of ten Protestant bishoprics has given no small accession of importance to the Roman Catholic " titulars," who repose in their undimi nished dignity upon their politico-spiritual thrones awaiting the issue of the repeal conflict, of which the Prophet Daniel hath prophesied many glorious things—yea, and hath seen visions, such as prxfigure the rising grandeur of the Romano-Hibernian Church, upon the ruins of her reformed rival, with the triple-crowned suc cessor of the Fisherman, putting his sickle into the golden harvest of indulgences, dispensations, first fruits, tithes, vnd all other profitable inven tions, which were once the produce of the Irish 4 , patr i mo ny," soon to be resumed, if the word of prophecy faileth not.--Morning Herald. The following compliments were paid to old Sheridan, in Norfolk, by an Trish servant belonging to Mr. Coke, who attended him on his shooting excursion, and which old Sherry retold with great glee :—Kot the first (the bids all getting away). " Fore God, your Honour, did you see one little gintleman drop his leg o. lie went off; he'll never stand on his tin toes again."— Shot the second (ditto, ditto). "By the powers, there they go ! But didn't your Honour hear the shots rattle A mong them like pace against a winder ? They'll pray to never see your Honour again on this side of the country." Shot the third (birds all off again).

Poor Sheridan could stand is countryman a handsome fee for - eded on his teat alone, THE ARMY. (From the Limerick Chronicle.) Monday morning last, at six o'clock, the grand division of the 28th, including music, colours, and the companies of C plains Irwin, Acklom, Wheeler, Sawbridge, and Symons, marched from the New Barracks, under com mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Hailes, on route to Dublin. The second and last division of the 28th regiment march hence to-morrow morning for Dublin, under com mand of Major French. On Tuesday next, the 24. h instant, the 26th regiment will embark at Dublin for Liverpool and Manchester. The 85th regiment will come over by the same convey ance and march for Limerick. The depot companies of the sth regiment at Temple more will march to Fermoy to take the quarters of the 92d Highlanders, who expect to embark every day at Cm k for Gibraltar. Three companies of the 52d regiment, under the com mand of Major St. John, have left Belfast on their route for Newry. The 68th have left Newry on route to Edin burgh, to relieve the Std ; which last regiment is to remove to Glasgow, to relieve the Ist battalion of the Royal, who are ordered to Belfast. The Courtmartial for the trial of Captain \Vathen, 15th Hussars, will assemble at Cork on the 23d inst. The garrison of Carrickfergus is to be done away with ; and the depot of arms and ammunition removed to Charle mont—which, hereafter is to be the sole depot for the north of Ireland. Only a few invalids are to remain in the castle of Carrickfergus ; dealers in gunpowder will be deprived of a very convenient and excellent storehouse. Government have resolved to abolish the English and Irish Militia Staffs after the meeting of Parliament, and those officers only will receive compensation who served five years previous to the regiments being disembodied after the last war. It is the intention of his M4jesty next spring to inspect all the troops of Yeomanry Cavalry within fifty miles of London, and to pay a similar compliment to the command ants, to that which he paid last year to the commanding officers of the militia. The report of the conversion of the Royal Hoapital, at Dublin, into barracks and public offices, is unfounded, nothing of the kind having been done. Those solemn investigations, courts-martial, are fast falling into contempt from the frivolous character of the charges they are so often called upon to discuss. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSSIOUTIE, Dec. 21.—0 n Wednesday the Rover 18, Commander Sir George Young, Bart, returned, from the Mediterranean to be docked, having touched on the shoals coming out of the harbour of Alexandria ; she left Malta on the 23d of November.

Line of battle ships are to enter ten, fourth and fifth rates eight, sixth rates and sloops six, and all smaller vessels four, in addition to their present complements. Another order was also received today, increasing the portion of monthly pay to the seamen.

This clause enacts—" that no abatement of duty shall be made on ac • count of damage received by any tea during the voyage ; but it shall be lawful for the importer to seprate the damaged pats, and to abando❑ the same to the Commis sioners of Customs for the duty." COURT OF KING'S BENCI-I, DEC. 21. THE KING V. MILLINGEN AND OTHERS. In this case, which was not concluded on Satur day when we went to press, the Jury found the elder Millingen and Norton guilty, and acquitted Millingen the younger. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 21. (Sittings in London at Nisi Prius before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, and a Special Jury.) SOANE V. CRAWFORD AND CO. This was an action to recover 1,600/., the amount of a policy of insurance effected with the defendant, Mr. Crawford, the Member for the City, by the plaintiff, who is agent to an Oporto Brazil merchant, of the name of Silva, on a vessel called the Castro Vimeiro. The underwriters refusing to pay the in surance, on the ground that it was not a bona fide one, this action was brought. The captain of the Castro Vinziero, a Portuguese, said the vessel made a successful voyage to Pernam buco, and, on the sth of February, he wrote a letter stating this, and likewise informing him of his inten tion to load with a homeward bound cargo of sugar, cotton, &c., to the amount of 5,000/. The vessel sailed on the sth of March, and arrived on the 19th of April off Villa Conde, about eighteen miles from Oporto. On the 20th he arrived off the bar of Oporto. At seven o'clock of the morning of the 21st. the vessel tried to pa's the bar, but struck on a sand bank, and lost her helm; the vessel then sunk ; the crew escaped. The vessel had leaked on the 11th of April, and the men continued pump ing till she sunk. He had obtained assistance from a pilot-boat and a fishing-boat, and expected to go over the bar. When off Oporto he sent letters to the owner of the vessel, M. Silva, informing him of the leak, ►he bad weather he had experienced, and requesting assistance. Witness sent no letter by the fishing-boat which came to them when off Villa Conde. The steward and some of the seamen corroborated this, and deposed that the swell of the sea and the very bad weather prevented them getting over the bar. The defence was, that on the morning of the 19th the owner had a letter from the Captain informing him of the distress of the vessel, and that he then wrote a letter :to his agent (the plaintiff) to insure the vessel. A fisherman who went with his boat to the ship when off Villa Conde on the 19th of April received three letters from the Captain, which he delivered to M. Silva, at Oporto, on the same afternoon, at the same time informing him that the pumps were at work in the ship, and that she was in danger. Another fisherman whom the Captain took on board saw no letters sent except by the fisherman. He sent none by the pilot•boat. Other witnesses proved that the morning of the 20th was fine, and that the weather could not have hurt the ship. Fut ther evidence was about to be called, showing that directions were given for insuring the ship after notice of the distressed condition had been given by the Captain, and not before; when— Mr. Sergeant TADDY agreed to take a nonsuit, which was accordingly entered.—The case lasted till eight o'clock. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, DEC. 21. RIXON V. DUNN AND OTIIERS. This was an action by the plaintiff, the owner of the brig Briton, to recover 4741. damages for the injury done to his vessel by the fouling of the de fendant's vessel. On the 16th of February the Briton left the river for Stockton. On the 18th the vessel was off the Dudgeon, on the coast of Norfolk; about seven in the evening the defendants' vessel, the Allowhouse, was seen coming in the track of the Briton. The Allowhouse continued her course without altering her tack, and came into col lision with the Briton, carrying away the bulwark and sweeping the deck. The Allowhouse went down, but the Briton did not. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 4741• PREROGATIVE COURT, DEC. 21. IMPORTANT JUDGMENT.-BEQUEST OF TEN TIIOU- SAND POUNDS TO THE BLIND ASYLUM. BOSANQUET V. GOREN. This was a suit for trying the validity of the last codicil to the will of the late Mrs. Swamis!' Curtis, wbo died worth 15,000/. The deceased gave at first 100/. to the Asylum for the Indigent Blind; but, having gone over it, and seen the blind children at work, and having, as she stated, experienced as much attention and respect as if she had been a duchess she executed a will leaving about 10,0001. to the Asylum. On the 27th of October last, however, a codicil was prepared by Mr. Goren, her solicitor, by which she gave 3,0011/. to him, R 3 one of her ex ecutors, and 3,0001. to Mr. Green, an old friend, the other executor. The codicil was opposed by the Treasurer of the Blind School, on the ground that the deceased, when she signed it, was not fully aware of its purport, being then extremely ill, and dying a few days afterwards, at the age of about 58 years. Sir J. NICIIOLL must pronounce against the last codicil, and in favour of the will giving 10,000/. to the Asylum, but without costs, all of which should be paid out of the estate. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT —Kr.vosro.v, DEC. 21. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—James Tilling and William King were indicted for robbing W. J. Sharp on the highway. The prosecutor, on the evening of the 19th of June last, left Cuckfield with his wife and child, in a chaise, to proceed to Reigate, and was stopped on the road by two men, who presented p'stols, and demanded his money. }I made no resistance, and gave the men five half sovereigns and his watch. One of the men afterwards said, " I have only 64. a day for working on the road, and I have no wish to hurt you ; so give us your hand, and be off." On the following day, as the Prosecutor was returning from a meeting at Croy don, for the protection of property; he was fired at I y two men with masks. The .Jury found the prisoners guilty of the high way robbery. The prosecutor's wife was so alarmed at the rob bery, that she was taken ill, and died a short time since. LIFE AND DEATH. —A gentleman adver tises for board and lodging in a respectable family, " to live with them, and be done for;" and to render his views still less equivocal, he adds that "quietness is his object." MELANCHOLY CONDITION OF THE SMALL FARMERS OF THE COUNTY.—Some idea may be formed of the extent of the distress which prevails among the small farmers of this county, from the statement of the following circumstances, which a few days ago fell under our observation. A poor farmer, holding about IS acres of land, from the n ei g hbourhood of Tullaroan, came into town a pigs forthe produce of pwuceh t it w e is soon as he r o e f k course with needlessf four the tosay, did not get i nto hi s sold pigs, he waited until one of them was killed, for the purpose, as he said, " of taking home some of the entrails and blood, to afford him someting to eat for himself and his family during Christ mas !! !" Is it any wonder that this state of things should exist, when such an anomaly, as the County taxa tion presents (an account of which will ha found elsewhere), is suffered to continue. But the above fact is not all. We know it to be the case that the pawnbrokers' shops in town are filled not only with almost every article of cloth. ing which a sense of decency alone can spare, but with all those little household articles of the most sacred kind, which nothing but the direst distress could induce the poor people ever to part with, such as presents, keep-sakes, love-tokens, relics, nay even wedding-rings ! How long, we ask, shall such a state of things be suffered to continue? • No. 4,204. The general habit of the Irish farmer is to consume his pig, is it not ?_N o ; the pig pays the rent ; a very large proportion of the lower class of persons connected with the land seldom or over taste animal food more than two or three times a year.—Mr. Sandar's examination before the Agricultural Committee. —.Kilkenny Journal, OLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEB ONE. On Saturday John Stopford, a young man, charged at this office on Thursday with having wil fully broken thirty panes of glass, belonging to a farm situate on the Duke of Buck►ngham's estate near Hendon, and who was then fined 31., attended before the same Magistrate (Mr. HosKiNs), when Mr. Isaacs, the solicitor, said he had come forward on behalf of the young man Stopford, who he could prove had been wrongfully convicted. There were two men then in the office who were willing to ac knowledge that they were the persons who bad committed the offence while in a state of inebriety. Mr. HosKINs said he bad already adjudicated on the case, and could not go into it again. Mr. Isaacs replied that he thought it very hard, as the young man was suffering severely from the stigma thrown on his character. Mr. HOSKINS again expressed his determina tion not to interfere further, and the parties retired apparently very much dissatisfied. Q UEEN-SQUARE. A young man, respectably attired, was brought up in the custody of the police of the T division, and charged on suspicion of setting fire to the house of a grocer, residing in the neighbourhood of Ham mersmith. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been his apprentice about five years ; but in consequence of frequent acts of misconduct on the part of the prisoner, and the quarrels which ensued, an agree ment was entered into between them to put an end to the apprenticeship. The prisoner left about a fortnight since, but came on the preceding night, about half-past eight o'clock, and asked if he might be allowed to take his clothes and other articles away. He (prosecutor) consented, and he observed Ithe prisoner, in' company with the shopman, pro ceed towards the trap-door in the shop which led to the cellar. The shopman had a lighted candle in his hand. In about twenty minutes afterwards he saw the prisoner coming down stairs with the candle in his hand, and almost immediately leave the house. Half an hour had not elapsed before an alarm of fire was given, and on proceeding up stairs, he discovered the first room on the second floor, which adjoins the apartment in which the prisoner slept, in flames. The floor and ceiling of the room and the property therein were burnt, to the amount of forty pounds. A daughter of the prosecutor stated, that shortly after the prisoner left her father's house she smelt fire, and gave an alarm. Policeman 156 T was on duty on the preceding night, and on passing the prosecutor's shop that gentleman told him that the prisoner had set the house on fire. He (witness) immediately went in pursuit of him, and apprehended him in King-street, while talking to a tradesman. The prisoner asked upon what charge he was taken into custody, when witness informed him that the prosecutor had charged him with setting fire to his house. The prisoner exclaimed," Good God ! what injury does he intend to do me now ? It is a conspiracy against me !" The prisoner was anxious to reply to the charge. He then said, " 'My brother and myself went to the prosecutor's house last night to have an agreement signed that he would not molest me. After which I went down the trap-door into the cellar to my box, which wag there. The prosecutor's son came to me, and asked me for a book, after which he shook hands with me, and went away. I then took the candle from the shopman to proceed up stairs for some ar ticles of wearing apparel; I do not know whether the shopman followed me, but he was certainly not near me. The time that I remained up stairs did not exceed five minutes, and I never entered the room which was supposed to be on fire; I never went near it; the shopman was there, and I asked him to send my things to the Old Bailey booking office. I then - left." The prisoner then gave an account of his time until he was taken into custody. It appeared that his brother was to set him up in business. Mr. GREGORIE, under all the circumstances, al lowed the defendant to depart on his brother be coming his bail, in order that three other appren tices arid the shopman might be examined. LIVERPOOL, DEC. 21. COTTON.MARKET.—Tbe past week has been attended with a very active demand in our cotton market, and the result of the transaction is, there has been a gradual ad• Vance on our preceding rates throughout; and we quote new Boweds id. to id. ; old American qualities, id. to d. ; on Brazils generally, 4d. ; and on Surats, id. to id. per lb. The wind having continued N.W., the packet of the 16th is still in port, and will probably accompany that of the 21• th, so that some time has elapsed since the last advices left for the States. Dealers and spinners ha►e been the principal purchasers, speculators having bought sparingly in the present prevailing uncertainty. Tue trade are now stocking themselves so abundantly that it will enable them to hold off when further imports appear. They complain that goods and yarns, although of exten sive sale, do not fetch relatively remunerating prices in proportion to the rates at which the raw material stands them in. The private sale of Surats yesterday was well attended, end went off with great spirit at 11. advance. On specu lation this week 1,300 bales American, 800 Brazil, and 800 Surats. None for export. Surats have been of ready sale at top prices throughout the week. Imports this week 7,786 bales. Sties 35,460 bale, consisting of 440 Sea Islands, 131-41. to 16d. ; 90 Stained, 811. to 1141. ; 13,460 Uplands, bid. to 94d. ; 4,260 Orleans, 711 to 10d., and 10d. to 11d. ; 3,060 Tenessee and Alabama, 6441. to 91,; 2,170 Pernams, 911. to 10d. ; 1,540 I3ihta and Maceio, Sid. to 911. ; 3,170 Maran hams, Sp. to 9141. ; 100 Demerara, 9id. ; 380 We,t India,7ll. to 9d. ; 40 Egyptian, 12d. ; 2,250 Surrits, sd. to 7id. ; 4,500 Surats for auction yesterday at Sad. to 7441. To-day th. sales are 2,500 bales at full prices. CITY ELECTIONS. SIR JOHN KEY. 1 1 After the election of all the old candidates for the Corn mon Council of the Ward of Langbourn, and the con stables and other officers, Mr. NICHOLSON moved, and Mr. Salmi seconded the motion, that the cordial thanks of the Wardmote be given to Sir John Key, Baronet, the Alderman of the Ward, for his impartial conduct in the Chair this day, and for the courtesy and attention which he has paid to the inhabitants of this Ward, and especially for his splendid acts of hos pitality during the two years he presided at the Mansion house as Lord Mayor. The motion having been carried unanimously. Sir J. KEY stated that he felt deeply indebted to them for the kind vote to which that respectable meeting had so unanimously come, which, gratifying as their approba tion had been invariably to him, was peculiarly so at the present moment, after having teen for so long a period so crully persecuted and so shamefully misrepresented. Having always on similar occasions met the inhabitants of the Ward with feelings of unmixed satisfaction, it was with considerable pain he adverted to a circumstance which had occurred since their last meeting, which bad plunged him into the deepest affliction, and subjected him to per secution the most bitter and malignant, and which, al though he pretended not to have acted in a manner be coming his character as a Christian, nor his station as the representative of an independent and enlightened consti tuency, he would venture to assert that the most severe moral censor, if he knew all, would say he had suffered in finitely more than he had deserved from his fellow-men. On this day last year he had a position in public favour which the proudest man in Europe might have envied. He was happy in the enjoyment of their undivided good opinion. He was indeed proud of the distinction which had been conferred upon him by the free choice of the electors, that of being twice the Chief Magistrate of the first city in the world, at a time when the influence of that station, of which he gladly availed himself, enabled him to render the most essential service to the cause of liberty, and he gloried in the expectation of being chosen one of its representatives in the first Reformed Parlia ment; that expeeation was triumphantly realized, and he was tempted almost to suppose that by his own activity and by his own power he bad effected all this, forgetful of that God to whom he owed every blessing he enjoyed, who had hitherto enabled him to triumph over all the persecutions with which he bad been assailed, and to overcome all the difficulties with which be had been surrounded, and who, he bad almost said had mercifully suffered him to fall into this temptation, that he might experimentally know, when trusting to him self, he was sure to fall, but when relying on His strength he should be enabled to triumph over every difficulty. To regain the good opinion of the electors by a candid expo sition of all the circumstances attending this unfortunate affair, would restore to him the happiness he once enjoyed ; and as soon as circumstances would admit he would lay before the public every fact relating to it. At the present he dared not enter into these explanations, actions having been brought against him by common in formers for penalties for above one hundred thousand pounds, under the provisions of an obsolete Act of Parliament, which had never yet been acted upon. He presumed not to attempt to justify himself in the eyes of God, nor did he pretend that any explanation he might give would make him appear blameless in the eyes of men as to one part of the transaction. The misstatement respecting his son's age he attempted not to defend. Falsehood was indefensible under whatever circumstances it might appear, and the frequency of the practice would not change its character. It was notorious that many youths who had been and were useful and honourable servants in many of our public departments were qualified for office by similar misrepresentations. This address was received with a great deal of applause. The Wardmote was then dissolved. Those marked (a) a: ALDERSGATE W . Mr. Mottram 4 Lorkin 3 Rolls.

The highest quotation of white wheat of the first quality at Hamburg is 100 rix dollars current per last, which answers to 1/. 12s. 3d. the English quarter of eight bu•hels imperial measure; and the highest quotation of red wheat of the first quality, at the same place, is 85 rix dollars current per last, which answers to 1/. 7s. sd. the English quarter of eight bushel+ imperial measure, and therefore the mean price at Hamburg of white and red wheat together is 11. 9s. 10d. the quarter. The highest quotation of white wheat in Mark-lane is Si. the quarter, and the highest quotation of red wheat is 21. 14s. the quarter, and therefore the mean price of Mark lane of white and red wheat together is 21. 17e. the quarter. It appears, then, that wheat is 91 per cent. dearer in London than at Hamburg, and that with the sum of 21. 17s. a man may buy 15 3-10 bushels of whe st at Hamburg, whereas with the same sum he can buy only eight bushels in London. The quotation of Zealand white wheat of the first quality at Amsterdam is 185 florins per last, which an swers to 1/. 93. 103. the English quarter of eight bushels imperial measure, and the mean price of wheat in Mark-lane being 21. 17s. the quarter, it follows that wheat is 91 per cent. dearer in London than in Amster dam, and that with the sum of 21. 17s. a man may buy 15 3-10 bushels of wheat at Amsterdam, whereas with the same sum he can only buy eight bushels in London.

The red wheat of Antwerp is of very superior qu ility. The present duty on the importation of foreign wheat into England is 1/. 16s. 83. the quarter, which is equal to the following rates:- To a rat e o f 122/. 18 s .

Id. per cent, on the prime cost of wheat at Amsterdam-and to a rate of 103/. 153. 6d. per cent. on the prime cost of wheat at Antwerp.

FARRINGI)OI4 WITHOUT.—A contest was threatened over night in this Ward by some worthy members of the Old Codgers' Society, which meets at the White Bear, Bride-I me, but with cool morning came calm reflection, and the old members were allowed to be re-elected without opposition. PORTSOKEN WARD —A meeting for the election of Ward officers to serve for the ensuing year, for this Ward, was held on Saturday at the Parish Church of St. Botolph Without, Aldgate, hut was adjourned to this day, in consequence of a violent altercation that took place among some of the electors. In the Wards of Castle Baynard, Cordwainers, Queen hithe, Dowgate, Walbrook, Aldgate, Lime-street, Bishops gate, Cheap, and Coleman-street, the old members were returned without opposition. A TAX UPON WIND.—A traveller recently returned from Africa, relates that his Majesty the King of Congo replenishes his exchequer by a tax upon wind. Whenever this sable king is in want of money (which,by the bye, is pretty often), he generally selects a very windy day for wdlking abroad, and takes care to place his cap so lightly on his head the slightest puff is sure to displace it. When this takes place, he immediately levier a tax on the inhabitants of that quarter of his dominions from which the wind blew. An useful hint this for a Chancellor of the Exchequer.
