MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was littl e or no animation in the Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday, and the sales did not exceed 3,500 bales, but at former rates.—The Share Market did not display much activity. Eastern Counties were 103 ; Grand Junction, 235 ; Paris and O r l eans, 33 i ; Do. and Lyons, 3 / . 6s. 6d. ; South astern, 36i ; Do. New, 36k. There are some later accounts in town this morning from 111 0 Janeiro by the Crane, and we are sorry to find that the h opes that were previously entertained that treaty with this country was not likely to be renewed upon those liberal terms which are so mnch desired, en d by which the commercial interests of both countries would ue i mmensely ad vance d , are not confitint d. As the treaty Vith the Brazilian Government will expire in the course of the prese n t year, it is likely that a provisional arrangement will be come to f or extending it a twelvemonth more to arrange the i sts in difficult—and we hope still anxious--consideration. S tnee the, blockade of Monte Video trade had somewhat rallied at Rio, and at Rio Grande. The ship letters received to-day do not contain news of mo ment beyond that already obtained. Ssrne interest is exhibited in the Money Market to learn 'whethe r t h e Comtnissioners for the Reduction of the National brerbt have directed their brokers to buy Three per Cents. or t e :: i a o n d d-asHalf per Cents. to-morrow, when the invest leents in aid of the Sinking Fund are to be resumed, after of just over six years.

If the Commissioners start with buying„„, the Three per Cent. Consols, or the Three_ Reduced, it is thought that the reduction . of the a ancl „ Half per Cents. has been decided upon. By ' B u oo eh n s - v , m urses as has been before stated, a saving of at least th e ' - ‘ 4 . a year would be made, and this, even in addition . to talus by means of the income and property-tax, t. - ,e The would like very much to make. e "g neglected Spanish Treasury Bondholders will be a:, to hear that Lord Aberdeen has, through our Minister at rid, again forced upon the Goverment of Spain, the policy uultii settlement of the demands they have for arrears of interest to a r id ated, and for the redemption of the capital.

The Rev. SIMPSON TODD, Baptist minister of the place, opened the mee,in g by singing and prayer. EDMUND DA wsws, EsQ., of Mount Pleasant, was in the chair. STATE TRIALS-THE SPECIAL JURY. I, On Saturday evening an express reached town, giving an account of the proceedings on Friday, when striking the jury in Dublin for the impending State trials. The list chosen on the previous day was 48, but from this number the Crown had the right to, strike off 12, and the traversers other 12. Ten of the persons whose names were struck off by the Crown are repeaters, and, therefore, as the original number • of repeaters on the list was hut 12, two only remain on the jury who are to try the traversers. The jury will consist of the first 12 out of these 24 who answer their names when the reduced list is called over in Court. The Rev. S. TODD, and the Rev. TuomAsDAw- SON, Baptist IP:Mister, moved and seconded the reso lution to " si . ...pport the L eague i n i ts en d eavours t o obtain a rep eat of the corn monopoly," which David Wlntehea(l., Esq., supported, followed by Henry Ashwore" Esq.. of Turton, who stated that the po- Pulatir.n of the forest of Rossendale 300 years ago cons*.sted only of ten families, comprising . eighty scrals; and th a t th ese e i g h ty persons memorialised "chat they might be allowed to use their exertions in manufacturing pursuits, and be hoped that the thou sands of individuals who now appeared in Rossendale as the descendants of these eighty souls, would show that they possessed the same laudable spirit of enterprise. He claimed a sympathy with the Inhabitants of Rossendale because he was also a descendant of one of those ten fa milies ; because the bones of his forefathers were mingled with those of their fathers, in the hills and valleys by which they were surrounded. To show what manufactures and machinery had done for Ros sendale, he needed only to remind them that one acre of land in Bacup was now worth as much as the whole forest was worth two hundred and fifty years DUBLIN, FRIDAY, FOUR P.M. - - , The parties concerned, for the Crown and the traversers, met to-day to reduce the of 48 down to 24. The Crown struck off 12-10 of whom are Roman Catholics, and the greater number, it is said, members of the Repeal Association. The agent for the traversers also struck off 12, leaving the follow ing as the jury :- 1. James Hamilton, 14, Upper Ormond-quay, wine-merchan, 2. James C. Papworth, 106, Marlborough-street, architect 3. Captain Edward Roper, 15, Eccles-street 4. Stephen Parker, 2, St. Andrew-street, pawnbroker 5. Edward Clarke, Esq., 128, Stephen's-green West 6.

John Holraes, 10, William-street, merchant Mr. ConnEN then said, that having seen some of the Bacup people at the great meetings in Manches ter and witness e d th e unostentat i ous manner w i t h which they announced their subscriptions, he was very desirous of meeting the inhabitants of Bacup; and, from what he saw of the meeting (for he was a bit of a phrenologist) he thought that those he had seen in Manchester were but a fair sample of the sack. He then exposed, in a most excellent speech, many of the fallacies which are brou7lit forward in opposition to the League ; instructing them how to meet the opponents of the League, who talk about "protection of labour," the "evils of machinery," and other nonsense of the same description. Mr. R. R. AlooßE commenced announcing the subscriptions by stating that the gentlemen from their own neighbourhood had already subscribed the following sums to the fund :-Robert Munn, Esq.. 5001.; John Lord, Esq., 300/. ; Thomas, David, and Peter Whitehead, Esqs., 3001.

The Mercantile Advertiser of this morning publishes a liberal report of the proceedings, which are annexed: The solicitors for the Crown and the traversers at tended at the office of the Clerk of the Crown this morning, for the purpose of reducing the list struck yesterday. Mr. Steele and Mr. Barrett were also present. Mr. Bourne, addressing Mr. Steele, said—As you appear one of the parties on the record, and appear in person, I beg to say, if you have anything to offer, I am quite ready to hear you before proceeding with the immediate business for which we have met here. Mr. Steele—l do not intend, just now, to trouble you ; but I beg to inform you that my attorney is pre sent, and under his guidance I am acting. Mr. Mahony—Mr. Kemmis, I beg leave to say a few words on a subject of vital importance to my clients. I am prepared, Sir, with the affidavits of the individuals concerned—some of whom are ready to be produced—and who will prove that they were entered on the jury list as qualified to serve as special jurors, and have, notwithstanding, been omitted from the special panel used on this occasion. It so hap pens, and very unfortunately, I think, that all these mistakes have been committed on one side, and in the present state of the country, I would ask, was such a circumstance to be treated lightly ? These persons so omitted, strangely enough, happen to be nearly all of the Roman Catholic persuasion, and those who are not are not considered hostile to them. It is a very unhappy state of things. I now put it to the gentlemen representing the Crown, as it is my duty so it is my determination to pursue the matter to the last. I offer proof that the list has not been fairly made out ; and although I can hardly expect that Mr. Kemmis will postpone further proceedings until the mistakes are rectified, I will enter my protest against it, and put it to him whether or not the subject is worthy of deep attention. Mr. Bourne—This question has already been pro pounded and decided, and I have no more power over this panel than you. I cannot entertain the subject, and I cannot see any use in stating facts here over which I have no control whatever. Mr. Kemmis observed that he could not entertain the subject, and that there was nothing for them to do but to proceed to reduce the list, and he could not consent to anything but his immediate duty, which was to reduce the list. Mr. Mahony then handed the following protest to Mr. Bourne : "COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, CROWN SIDE. " THE QUEEN V. DANIEL O'CONNELL AND OTHERS. " I require you to take notice, that I do hereby protest, on behalf of the traverser, John O'Connell, Esq., against any further proceeding being taken in striking a jury in this case. First, because the names of a great number of persons qualified to be inserted upon the special jury list, and whose right had been allowed by the Recorder of the city of Dub lin, have been fraudulently and unjustly omitted, or omitted from the special juror list. Secondly, before you refused to receive evidence to prove the above fact, alth oug h p roo f o f th e same was in readiness and tendered ;to you. Thirdly, be cause the names of many persons are inserted in the special juries' list who do not reside in the county of the city of Dublin. Fourthly, because you refused evidence of the said fact, although proof of the same was in readiness and tendered to you. Fifthly, be cause several of the persons whose names were drawn yesterday do not reside in the county of the city of Dublin. For these reasons, in addition to those I offered to you yesterday, and also to those given to you in writing yesterday by Mr. Forde, solemnly protest against any further proceeding in striking a jury in this case. Dated the sth day of January, 1 8 44. " PIERCE MAHONY, Attorney. " To Waiter Bourne, Esq., Clerk of the Peace. Air. Cantwell—l proceed for my client, under the protest I mentioned yesterday. Mr. Bourne—Well, then, we may now proceed. Mr. Kemmis--I strike off No. 45 on the list-- Timothy Greens, of Capel-street, publican. Mr. Cantwell—There is the first Papist going. Mr. Bourne—You are aware, Mr. Cantwell, there are but one set of objections which can be made on the part of the defendants ; and I suppose you act for all the defendants. Mr. Cantwell—l am aware of them, Sir, and I sup pose on this occasion I will act for all the traversers. I strike off 45—John Carolin, Government con tractor. Mr. Kemmis—l strike off No. 26—Michael Dunn. Mr. Cantwell—Another Roman. Mr. Bourne—l don't know whether they are " Romans" or not. The Crown I suppose, has a reason for striking them off, and I do not think this is the place to make these remarks. Mr. Cantwell—l strike off 41—John White. Mr. Kemmis—James Fallen. Mr. Cantwell—Another Roman. I strike off Ro binson Carolin. Mr. Kenmis—John Beaghan. Mr. Cantwell—There's another. Strike of John Thwaites, the soda man. Mr. Kenmis—James Patrick Smith. Mr. Cantwell—Another Catholic. I really think that every Cornwall man should be informed the way the Catholics of this country are respected here. [Mr. Cantwell alluded to the speech of Lord Eliot, made to the electors of that county on his re-election, after being appointed to the Secretaryship of Ireland.] I strike of John Irwin. Mr. Kemmis—John Denman, of Abbey-street. Mr. Cantwell—George Whittaker. Mr. Kemmis—William Joseph Camen. Mr. Cantwell—Another Catholic ; I strike off Robert Chamley. Mr. Kernmis—Lawrence Gorman. Mr. Cantwell—Another Roman Catholic ; John T. Boileau. Mr. Kemmis—WilliatnTitzpatrick. Mr. Cantwell—Another Roman Catholic. Mr. Kemmis—Nicholas Monserratt. Mr. Kemmis—John M'Gloin.

Mr. Cantwell—Another Roman. James Cuff. Mr. Cantwell—He is supposed to he Liberal, and therefore next to a Catholic. I strike off John Fry. This reduced the list to 24 names. Mr. Mahony—We might have reduced this list yesterday by striking off at once all the Catholics. Mr. Bourne—Surely you might strike off whom you pleased from the other side. Mr. Mahony—As the High Sheriff is now present, I beg to repeat all I said in his absence.' We freely admit that neither Mr. Latouche nor Mr. Dickenson knew anything of the " accidents" of which we have to complain ; and I will further add, that their con duct has been extremely handsome, and just to both parties. The High Sheriff—With respect to my conduct I have only to say that I gave written directions in my office that all parties should have the utmost facility, which were posted up, provided each party agreed. I did this on the ground that I conceived one party should have no advantage over the other. I do not feel surprised at being subject to some misapprehen sion at this particular time, but I have a conscien tious conviction that I have done what is right in my office, and I shall always be satisfied with the mode of doing business when I feel in my heart that it is done with strict justice and impartiality towards all parties. Mr. Mahony—lt was my duty to complain of con duct somewhere which is calculated to prejudice the case of my client. It is also my duty to do justice to the conduct of the High Sheriff; and, Sir, as you have acted all through with justice and impartiality, I R. R. MOORE, Esq., said, that though he had sub scribed to a large amount, he believed that the work ing men of' Bacup had su b scr ib e d mo re than be had done according to their ability. The meeting then separated at eleven o'clock.._ •- EXPERMEN TAL MANURES► TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN:. SIR,—I am an experimental farmer on a small scale (about 25 large Cheshire acres); during the three years I have been farming I have used almost all kinds of real and artificial ma nures—guano amongst the rest. The result of one experiment was as follows :—A meadow of four large Cheshire acres, strong brown loam of about 12 inches in depth, with a clay sub-soil, very good herbage, and in good condition, on one-third of which I sowed 5 cwt. of guano, cos ti ng 605. ; on another third I spread 15 tons of stable-dung, at the expense of 51. ss. ; the remaining third I covered with tO tons of privy soil, mixed with 20 cart-loads of road scrapings, which, together with the expense of mixing, cost 50s. (the scrapings being made near to the land). I mowed on the 30th of July, and in order to carry out my experiment I stacked each separately. The part manured with guano produced 4 tons of long coarse soft hay, such as the land had never before yielded. That on which the stable-dung had been put produced 5 1 4 tons of fine hay, full of all the choice kinds of grapes. From the remainder, manured with the privy, &e., I procured 5 1 4 tons, similar in every re spect to that produced from stable - dung. n which I s p rea d th e privy On the 7th of September 1 again mowed the same field ; th e guano part yielded 21 tons ; that manured with s t a bl e -d ung produce dsimilaranqdu4sacl t irt o ay n p s it no ; gtsl he and fir f tsot obta i ne d me r crop.

L'LLAFFAIRS OF CANADA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. assure you it is an error to infer that the question relating to public patronage in Ca nada has arisen from mere French Canadian de mands. It is no new subject in Canada, and it is felt to be of the greatest importance to the British population of the country. The true principle is stated in the Resolutions of the House of Assembly, and as it is a dispute to be determined between the House of Assembly and the Imperial Government, the words they use are deserving of consideration, as by them the provincial administration will be governed. The House of Assembly " disclaims a desire to call on the:Government to enter into stipulations" respecting public patronage. "The mutual con fidence essential to the well-being of the Go vernment presumes the terms to be understood, though a respect for the prerogative, and a con stitutional delicacy towards the Governor, for bids their being expressed." This language is perfectly constitutional, and in conformity with the principles of British institutions. It does not require the surrender of the prerogative. Some person must advise the Governor, for, being a stranger to the province, he can have no personal knowledge of the persons fit to be appointed to office. Who are those advisers to be ? Are they to be sworn and responsible advisers, whom the Constitution has appointed, or persons unknown and concealed, who have an interest in tripping up the heels of the Members of the Adminis tration ? If Sir C. Metcalfe had replied to his Adminis tration that lie would consult them upon all public appointments, reserving to himself the final decision, and that he would make no ap pointment discrediting them in the face of the province, this dispute would not have arisen. In England it is the prerogative of the Queen to appoint public officers, and, also, the ladies about her person. Sir R. Peel did not demand. this right to be surrendered, but he desired to act with a due respect for the prerogative, and with a constitutional delicacy which forbade the terms of his accepting office from being publicly ex pressed. He could not permit the influence of the back-stairs and of irresponsible persons to inter fere with his advice. What was done in England has been asked to be done in Canada. No person can doubt that Sir C. Metcalfe is a very honourable and able man, and really liked in the province. But the Administration had to anticipate the possibility of a Governor being set over them who might act with unworthy mo tives. Moreover, it is well known in Canada that it is a difficult matter for persons born in and settled in the province to gain public appoint ments, though their own merit may be great. There are always in the colony many persons with orders to the Governor for appointments in their pockets—both the orders and the persons among the newest arrivals—who interfere with the just expectations of settlers. It is this which will give this question a Canadian and local inte rest, on which an almost unanimous opinion, both of race and of population, will be expressed. Jan. 5, 1844. A LOYALIST. THE STANDARD'S ~ GAMBLING IMPORTERS" OF CORN. TO THE EDITOR OF• THE SUN. SlR,—The Standard of the 21st ult. uses the term " gambling importers" in reference to the importers of corn. if the importers of corn are gamblers, pray who made them such ? I should say the landowners. Has not the sliding-scale upon the very face of it a tendency and lure to importers to gamble? Does it not say to the importers, if you will try to get up the averages one shilling per quarter for us, the land owners, to keep up our rents, we will give you an extra profit of 2s. per quarter—give us 2s. you shall have 4s.—give us ss. you shall have 10s. ? This is precisely the effect of the sliding scale; for when the averages are up one shilling, the duty drops one shilling ; so the law makes gamblers of the importers by giving them a profit of two shillings per quarter on the rise of one shilling per quarter in—one shilling by the rise in price, and the other shilling by the fall in the duty. It is, I think, sufficiently clear, with out further demonstration ; but, in order that that there may be no question, let us suppose corn to be 50s. per quarter, the duty 10s.—the dealer gets 40s. ; but if the average should be 515., the duty will be Os.; thus, deducting the Os. from 515., the importer gets 425. Yet, while the law was so drawn as to induce the importers of corn to play the landowners' game, they must, for sooth, be stigmatised as " gambling importers." Yours, &c., A MEMBER Ot' TIIE ANTI-CORN LAW LEAGUE. Ilfracombe, Jan. 3, 1843. THE CURRENCY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. DEAR Sza,—l had nearly overlooked the letter of " Ger manicus" this evening, when luckily the word " Beirniard" caught my eye. The query of " Germanicus" is based on an assumption that the issuer of a note engages to give the holder a certain weight of gold for it. No such engagement is made. A five pound note, for example, specifies not that the issuer promises to hand to the holder so many grains of gold, but that he will pay " five pounds." If gold has increased in prise since the issue of the note, and silver has not, the issuer hands over a hundred shil- lings, and the note is duly discharged. Let us again suppose that instead of silver the issuer pays in sovereigns; it is clear that the note (taking it for granted that gold is the only commodity advanced in price) is really en hanced in value, since the holeer, who when he took the note, could only command with his five pounds a certain quantity of cotton, sugar, iron, &c., will, on receiving for his note five sovereigns obtain that which, taken to the silversmith's, pro duces the means of commanding more cotton, &c., than before. The fallacy is that which I noticed before, viz., the assuming that ift he relation between two articles be changed, one must be depreciated, forgetting that it may be that the other is enhanced. The fact is, that during the war the note did not go down, but that gold went up. Let us suppose a sudden increase in the deniand for French wines. To-day a given sum in gold will command fifty pipes of claret ; next year, from increased demand (or diminished supply), the same sum will command but forty—will the gold have suffered depreciation ? Believe me, always yours, BEIR NIARD i . The total p a p er now c i rculating in Great B ritain (includng bills of exchange) is probably little short of 360,000,000 ; in all Europe perhaps not 180,000,000 of gold could be collected. Is the paper depreciated 50 per cent, because it is physically impossible to exchange mere than half of it for gold ? TO THE EDl7'Oll OF THE SUN. SIR,—I observe in your paper of last evening a sneering let ter, signed " Gordius, ' attacking my proposal of fixing a silver measure of value in accordance with the last twenty-five years average value of the bushel of wheat, and recommending as a more intelligible measure the reduction of the price of wheat by an increase in the contents of the bushel. I suppose from the composition of the letter, that it emanates from ore of that illitss who know more a b out muc k ' t h an they do about money, t who have not yet ascertained, according to the maxim of Lord Bacon, "that money is like muck, of little use unless it be well spread." As I make it a rule never to write without subscribing my own name, so I also make it a rule never to enter upon an argument with those who write anonymously ; and if a letter which I addressed to the Morning Post yesterday does not explain to " Gordius" the great difference in the operation of our two plans, I will, upon learning who he is, with great pleasure explain to him, through your paper, what would be the result of each of them. Meantime I feel that the subject under consideration, the town of Birmingham, and myself, are far beyond the sneers of the enlightened philosophers of Ilfracombe.—Yours respectfully, G. F. MUNTZ. Ley Hall, near Birmingham, Jan. 6, 1844. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The conversion of the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Consols is now generally rumoured. The high rate of funded stock, the low rate of interest, and the large amount of specie in the Bank, seem to invite the attempt. The con version, nevertheless, may not be so easy of accomplishment as some people imagine. Cheap money may lead to redun dancy, and to a general advance of prices. The question, therefore, may be demanded.—Can Ministers, aided by the Bank, effect so desirable a measure ? The following reasoning may, perhaps, throw some light on so intricate a subject. The present market price of dollar silver is 4s. 9d. per oz., and its par price, estimated at 16 to 1 and compared with gold at 31. 17s. 10 1 ,4 d., may be said to be 4s. 10id. 625 per oz. On this calculation, silver will be found to be 11. 7s. 1 I/ 4 d. per centum cheaper than standard gold. Hence gold, the dearer metal, remains in the coffers of the Bank, while silver the cheaper article, is exported. We will now presume, that during the process of conver sion, the market price of silver advances from 4s. 9d. to ss. per oz. thereby making gold 21. 14s. 6d. per centum cheaper than silver. The change in the relative value of the metals would then cause gold to be demanded at the Bank, while silver, as an article of export, would be neglected. Any ad vance in the market price of silver, therefore, will be the chief difficulty the Directors will have to contend against. Again, should the market price of silver, during the pro cess of conversion remain, even for the short period of three months at ss. per oz., might not such a demand for gold at the Bank be established, as to compel the Directors to put on the screw; and would not the application of this pinching instrument raise the rate of interest, depress the value of Consols, and even render the conversion exceedingly hazardous ? Should the above remarks be worthy of notice you are at liberty to publish them. Your's, &c., LUZITANO. Manchester, 6th Jan., 1840. ASSIZES and QUARTER SESSIONS TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN, SIR,—By Act of Parliament, quarter sessions might be so fixed as to be held, a short period before the spring, summer, and winter assizes, and would be extremely convenient not only to judges of assize but to the public, and a saving of cost to counties. For instance, instead of the sessions been held in January, April, July, and October, they might be held in No vember February, May, and August. These periods would hap pen before the three assizes, and be convenient for counsel ; the quarter sessions circuits having finished, they could join the judges the first commission day on the assize circuits. PUBLIC GOOD. We regret to learn that Lieutenrnt• General Sir Hudson Lowe, Colonel of the 50th Regiment, is suffering from the effects of a severe attack of paralysis, and that his state of health is such as to cause serious apprehension of the result to his family and friends.— United Service Gazette. THE STATE TRIALS. DUBLIN, JAN. 6.—We have received a report of the pro.. ceedings in the Crown-office, on the occasion of reducing the, special jury l'st. The Crown, in striking off the names of all the Roman Catholics on the list, arid in also removing the name. of Mr. Ring (a very respectable trader, a native of England. who was suspected of Liberalism), has produced a very decided impression in the public mind, and even Conservatives openly express their astonishment at such an extreme proceeding on the part of the Government prosecutors. Mr. Ring, who is n Protestant, has never taken any part in political movements. He had been a member of the old corporation. The summonses to the twenty-four special jurors were issued this day. The first twelve who answer to their ',lames are to form the jury for the trial of the traversers. But that jury may, possibly, never be impanelled, as the tra verser: have determined to challenge the array, on the ground of illegalities in the construction of the jdry book, in which a great, number of persons appear who do not reside in the county of the city of Dublin. The Jury Act strictly requires residence, and that the " fixed abode " of such person should be set out after his name. There are several non-residents on the special jury li,t of twenty -four ; and, on this ground, an application will be made to the Court to quash the list, and to order the striking of a new panel. This motion is to be made on the first day of term, nursday next. THE PROSEC UTIONS.—M R. STRELE...--The Evening Pot says—" Mr. Steele has given instructions to have Lord P i .un• kett (his only Irish witness), Sir James Graham, the De ‘ k e o f Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, and Lord Lyndhurst, imme diately summoned to undergo his personal examination on his trial." THE IRISH YEOMANRY.—The Government has finally determined not to re-organise the yeomanry. This announce ment has produced deep discontent amongst the Ulster Orangemen. THE A It MY. —His Grace the Commander-in-Chief has been pleased to approve of Lieut. the Hon. Charles laugh Lindsay, of the 43d Light Infantry, and of Cornet Sir Wm. Don, Bart., of the sth Dragoon Guards, being appointed ext r a Aide s -de- Camp to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, in succession to Captain Freeman Murray, of the 60th Rifles, and Captain Lord William Hill, of the 2d (or Royal North British Dragoons— the former having been appointed. Assistant Military Secretary upon the Staff onreland, and the latter having resigned. THE COMMISSION—CHARGE OF °SEDITION. After the grand juries had been sworn yesterday, in the Com mission Court, Judge Ball inquired if there was any attendance in Court upon behalf of the Queen ? No one on the part of the Crown having answered, His Lordship proceeded to charge the grand juries. lie said—Gentlemen of the city of Dublin grand jury, on refer ring to your calendar, I do not find any case ( with one single exception) requiring any particular observations from me; but there is one described as a charge against a person for making use of treasonable and seditious language concerning the Queen, which, I would feel called upon particularly to refer to; however, I inquired if there was any attendance on the part of her Majesty, to ask if the Crown persisted in the charge; and as there is no attendance, I am obliged to tell you that I will not now make any observation to you upon the matter at present ; but if it become necessary, perhaps I will have to trouble you in a day or two. GREAT MEETING OF ROMAN CATHOLICS. In consequence of the exclusion of all the Roman Catholics from the special jury in the State trials, a requisition is in progress for an aggregate meeting of the Roman Catholics of Ireland, to petition Parliament and address the Queen on the subject. A large number of anti-repealers have already signed the requisition. MEETING OF PARLIAMENT. The Dublin Evening Post of this afternoon contains the following :—" We have good reason to believe that, soon af'er the opening of the session, a movement of a practical and concentrated kind will be made in relation to the state of Ireland, and the extraordinary events which have recently oc curred amongst us. It is stated that Lord John Russell is to bring the affairs of Ireland under the consideration of the House, by a substantive motion for inquiry by a Committee of the whole House, and that notice on the subject may be given in the first week of the session. Thus early, we deem it ne cessary to urge the prompt attendance of the Liberal Irish Members at the opening of the session." ARRIVAL OF MR. O'CONNELL. Last night Mr. O'Connell arrived in town, from his seat, Derrynane Abbey : _The Hon. Gentleman is in excellent health. MR. O'CONNELL IN TIPPERARY. On Thursday Mr. O'Connell arrived at Clonmel, and was received (says the Freeman's Journal) with boundless enthu siasm. The corporation and the trades went out to meet him; he was conducted into the town in a solemn procession, and was greeted, as he passed, from every house. He appeared in excellent health and spirits, and much gratified at the de voted marks of attachment bestowed upon him by the inhabitants of the town. The Honourable and Learned Gen tleman addressed the assembled people from the balcony of his hotel, and most emphatically urged them, above all things, to keep the peace, and avoid every kind of violence. He was afterwards entertained at a banquet, at which the Very Rev. Dr. Burke was in the chair, and about 300 gentlemen were present. On his health being drank, Mr. O'Connell again made a long speech, the burden of which was to recommend the people to abstain from any kind of violence, assuring them that they would thereby be certain of obtaining repeal. He referred in a triumphant tone to the extraordinary progress which lthee e ascribed yh a r d p y a t l tah had tehire m p e a a d e e e f demeanourth e course of of t t h h ee people. last year, H which e said conduct demonstrated their fitness for self government, and alluded in these words to the effects of his coming now want to call the attention of Ireland to ascertain how the repeal cause is to be stopped by means of such an event as this prosecution.—(Hear.) This is the question to be decided, and it involves the fate and fortunes of lreland.—( Hear.) Suppose they sent us to gaol, how would that stop the Irish people in their career ? Will it cure any of our grievances that I should be wearing out my eyebrows against the bars of a prison ?—(Laughter.) Will England be improved by it—or will the Irish people be bettered by it?— (Hear, hear.) Will the Irish people be reconciled by it ? (Hear, hear.) There are two things necessary—first, ensuring the continuance of peaceable conduct on the part of the people.—( Hear, hear.)

ANTI-LEAGUE ASSOCIATION. COLCHESTER, SATURDAY.—This day the meeting of the Essex Protection Agricultural Society was held at the Cups Inn, Colchester. The meeting was well attended, and a ff orde another proof of the great progress which the Leagu e h„, been making, inasmuch as it has at length alarmed the mono polists from their fancied security, and induced them to imi tate, at humble distance, the gigantic efforts of that body The meeting was chiefly remarkable for the somewhat virulent personal attacks made on Mr. Cobden, and for the attempts, for the first time made, on the part of the Chairman, to answer the long unanswered challenge thrown out by the free traders in and out of the House ;of Commons, to prove that there are any peculiar burthens on the land, which entitle its occupier to ask for artificial and exaggerated monopoly prices at the ex pense of all the other classes of the community. The time ap pointed for the meeting was twelve o'clock, hut the attendance being confined to some six or seven persons, induced the chair man to delay taking the chair till nearly one, when there were present less than thirty persons. After this time the room began to fill, and at one time there might have been 350 per sons present.. R. Baker, of Writtle, was called to the chair, and reyo lutions in accsrdance with the objects of the meeting, were unanimously agreed to. The subscriptions received at the meeting amounted to upwards of 5001. COURT CIRCULAR. wivnselt SUNDAY.—Yesterday morning the Queen and A l ;oert took their accustomed walk on the Castle Terrace,, and in the Slopes. The Royal Family were taken their customary airings in the rtoyal Gardens. Ilis Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Lord Fivers, Colonel Arbuthnot, and the Hon. Captain Duncombe, went to enjoy the sport of shooting in the Royal preserves. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Fanny Howard, the Hon. Francis and Lady Ann Charteris, Viscount Anson, and Mr. G. E. and the lion. Mrs. Anson, joined the Royal dinner party yesterday evening. This morning her Majesty and Prince Albert, the ladies and gentlemen of the Royal suite, and the household, attended Divine service in the Private Chapel of the Castle. The Hon. and Rev. C. Leslie Courtenay officiated, and preached from the 2d chaper of St. Luke, and the 32d verse. The choristers belonging to her Majesty's Private Chapel were in attendance. Mr. Kohl, her Majesty's private organist, presided at the organ. In the afternoon her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and attended by part of the Royal suite, walked in the grounds about the Castle. Mr. Murphy, the Mexican Minister, transacted business at the Foreign-office on Saturday. The Earl of Aberdeen, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir James Graham, and other Ministers, had interviews with Sir Robert Peel on Saturday. Sir George Clerk and other official gentlemen also visited the Right Hon. Baronet. Lord and Lady Stanley arrived at their residence in St. James's-square on Saturday, from Knowsley Hall, Lancashire. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had an interview with Sir James Graham at the Home-office on Saturday. Baron de Cetto, Bavarian Minister, had a dinner party on Saturday, at his Excellency's residence in Hill-street. Dispatches for the Governor of Hong Kong were sent cff from the Colonial-office on Saturday evening. The Chancellor of the Exchequer left his residence in Down ing-street on Saturday, for Betch worth, Surrey. PRESENTS FROM TIER MAJESTY TO THE OJIII BEWAY INDIANS.—Her Majesty has just commanded to be transmitted to Mr. Catlin, through the medium of the Hon. C. A. Murray, the Master of the Household, a cheque for '201., to be presented to the Ojibbe way Indians, who recently had the honour of an audience of her Majesty and his Royal High ness Prince Albert at Windsor Castle, where they performed their war dances, war-whoops, &c., before the Court, in the Waterloo Gallery. Her Majesty has also been most graci ously pleased to notify, through the same channel, that the Royal command has been issued for the manufacture of a quantity of the " Queen's Scotch Plaid," Which, when com pleted, will also be presented to the Ojibbeways as a gift from the Sovereign. We understand that the gift of '2Ol. has been equally divided amongst the Indians by Mr. Catlin, each of whom possesses a separate box, in which they preserve, each under his own lock and key, the various presents in money and other articles they have received since their as rival in England. The idea that they arc about to receive from the Queen a va riety of rich plaid (whi c h w ill pro b a bl y b e ma d e up i n t o d resses for them in England, to " astonish the natives" upon their re turn to their own country) has been to them a source of the greatest delight, and has inspired them with the most lively feelings of loyalty and gratitude to their " Great Mother," the title by which they designate the Queen of England.

SIR,-Why has not the desirable plan for the above object, made public by the Lord Mayor a week ago, been taken up by any one 2 Our streets are in a miserable state as regards con venience and the credit of our metrorelis, and thousands of out distressed poor would be thankful for employment, which, as there stated, could be obtained during the winter by a sub scription of a few shillings per house. Surely this is a double state of things which ought not to go on a week longer I Every body I have met approves of the hints there offered to the judg ment of readers. Surely some public-spirited and benevolent persons should set them a going.—Your's respectfully, Jan. 6, 1844. BENEVOLENS. MEETING IN TOXTETH PARK. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE. A meeting of the Anti-Monopoly Association was held in Toxteth Hall, Mill-street, last evening, for the purpose of affording an opportunity to the electors of the North Ward to discuss the question of free-trade with Mr. Murray, one of the lecturers of the League. The public are already aware that the Anti-Monopoly Association called a meeting of the electors of North Toxteth for a similar purpose last week, and that, owing to the extraordinary conduct pursued by Dr. llarbord on that occasion, no expression of opinion upon the all-i m p or t an t quest i on cou ld b e arr i ved at. e have now to state that the Doctor's conduct last night, was anything but what we should have expected. In the first place, the ship -carpenters elected him to the chair ; and, no sooner did he become the presi dent, than he also became the partisan. He com menced by saying that Mr. Murray was a hired lecturer, by asking whether there were any ex trumpery speakers to address the chair, and by en deavouring, as far as in him lay, to throw an air of ridicule and burlesque over the proceedings. And not only did he thus evince his partiality, but he also took upon him to reply to Mr. Murray, and to advocate at some length the cause of the monopolists, while ever and anon his political adherents, by whom the hall was crowded, commenced the Kentish fire, and scenes of uproar, such as we have not space to allude to in detail, but certainly such as we have seldom wit nessed on former occasions, occurred. Mr. Murray addressed the meeting, in the first instance, in an able speech of three quarters of an hour's duration, in which he showed the evil effects of monopoly upon the inhabitants of England generally. Three operatives affected to reply to him, and so also, as we have said, did the Doctor. The latter, in the course of his remarks, called upon the Tories never to aid the Radical newspapers, by sending them ad vertisements or increasing their circulation. Mr. Hughes moved a resolution to the effect, that it was the opinion of the meeting that all the monopolies, whether agricultural, manufacturing, or colonial, were unjust in principle, injurious in practice, and ought to be to tally and unconditionally repealed. Mr. Jones se conded the motion. Mr. Robert Inman proposed an amendment to the effect, that the meeting strongly deprecated the conduct of a body of men calling themselves the Anti-Monopoly Association, in agi tating the minds of the people, and endeavouring to set them against the Ministry of the day under the specious pretext of bettering the condition of the people, while their,only objects were to recover their lost political influence and to further their own selfish views, to the great detriment and ruin of the best interests of the country. Robert M'Clay seconded the amendment, which was carried amidst great up roar by a small majority. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated by giving " three groans for the League ;" each of the groaners seemingly felicitating himself on the success of this discreditable trick and paltry outrage upon the freedom of discussion.—Liverpool Journal of Saturday. LIEUTENANT AfuNßo.—An accredited agent on the part of Lieutenant Munro has been three or four times at the Horse Guards, to know the feeling of the Commander-in- Chief towards his principal, and the answer which he has inva riably received is that when his present leave of absence ex pires his Grace will consider him as " absent without leave," and remove him from the service altogether ; an application for an extended leave of absence was met with a blunt refusal. In this dilemma stands the accused duellist—he will either lose the price of his commission, the regulation value being 1,6001., or have to take his chance of a trial. I have also heard, from another source, that since the verdict of the coroner's jury, he resided in lodgings in one of the streets off the Strand (Ce cil, I think), under the assumed name of Captain Johnson, for several weeks, and that it was th e acc id en t a l use o f h is name by bis own wife, when visiting him there, that betrayed his in cognito, and forced him to leave the place, and in two days after he had done so, Inspector Aggs, of the police, got scent of his " whereabouts." So much for the vigilance of this over puffed body.—London Correspondent of the Hampshire Inde pendent. NOVEL DEER HUNTING.—The inhabitants of Woolwich were surprised, between two and three o'clock on Saturday afternoon to witness a fine full-grown deer run down the New-road, and along Thomas-street and Wellington street, into Lower Market-street, and shortly afterwards fol lowed by a field of sportsmen, with a pack of hounds. The deer took refuge in a timber yard, in Lower Market-street, where it was secured and taken to the Earl of Chatham public. house, until a cart was procured to take it home. The run after this fine animal must have afforded excellent sport, as it was started at Lock's Bottom, near Tonbridge-wells, by the subscription pack hunting in that quarter. A letter was received in Liverpool on Friday, stating that Parks, formerly a constable in the Liverpool police force, and well known on London-road, where his walk was for four or five years, was murdered in Carmarthen by the Re beccaites, who threw his body into the river. He was a very resolute, daring man; was dismissed, some time a go , by th e Watch Committee, but subsequently was admitted into the county constabulary in the Welsh disturbed districts. His head, it is said, was literally smashed in pieces. THE ANTI-CORN-LAW MEETINGS.—THE LEAGUE FUND.—During the present week, a number of spirited meet ings have been held in various parts of the country, to promote the cause of free trade, and to aid the great League fund of 100,000/. That at O.dham, on Tuesday evening, we noticed in our last, and accounts of others appear in our columns this day. The subscriptions at these meetings were as follow : Bacup, 2151. (in all 1,315/.) ; Bolton, 5051. (in all 1,2051.) ; Bury, 800/. (in all 1,1001.) ; Oldham, 860/. ; Ossett (York shire), 50/. ; Pudsey (Yorkshire), 1121. ; and Leek (Staf fordshire), 371. Total of these amounts subscribed in the room, 2,5791. ; and, including former amounts subscribed this year to the same fund, 4,679/. There was to be a meeting last evening at Burnley, which would be addressed by Mr. Cobden, M.P., and Mr. W. J. Fox, of London ; and another at Otlev, Yorkshire, to be addressed by Mr. Flint and other gentlemen; and almost every evening for seine weeks will ho similarly occupied, the great difficulty being to gratify the general desire to have a deputation from the League to address the meeting.—Manchester Guardian of Saturday. THE RUN-AWAY LADY.—The girl whose myste rious appearance amongst us recently caused considerable ex citement, and who so adroitly escaped from her watchers, has again emerged from her obscurity. We understand she is now staying at an inn in Linton, East Lothian, where the impression is the same as that formed at other places, that she is decidedly insane.— Scotsman. Upwards of 400 horses, purchased by dealers from the south at the late Christmas shows, were forwarded by rail way from York last week to London and other southern desti nations. —Hull Packet. A Rur.E 1111SAPPLIED.—On the entrance to the chief constable's office in our watch-house are painted, in bold italic characters, the words, " Magistrates only admitted by this door ;" the door in question being that by which all thieves, drunkards, and other offenders are ushered in. We believe the solution of the absurd puzzle to be, the removal of the door from:the Justices' consulting-room to its present situa tion.—Banner of Ulster. A very beautiful sword has been transmitted to Captain Sir George Sartorius, of the Malabar, by General Espartero, in commemoration of Sir George's services in Por tugal, which so powerfully influenced the establishment of Spanish freedom. The sword was presented to General Espar tero by the province of Santander.—Devonport Telegraph. We are assured that up to a late hour yesterday afternoon no final determination had been come to at the Home office on the case of the four unhappy men now under sentence of death for the brutal murder of Lord Derby's gamekeeper. The applications in their favour were still undergoing most anxious considerat ion. Observer. LovE AND SUICIDE.—Some weeks ago, a young woman, called Mary Whiteley, who had lived as housekeeper with Mr. Hay, surgeon, in Park-square, was missing, and, from the circumstance of her clothes being found on a post near the river side, there could he little doubt that she had sought a watery grave. Day after day, however, the river was searched in vain for the body, and hopes began to be entertained that she was still alive. These hopes have proved to be groundless. On Wednesday last, upwards of three weeks from the day when she was missed, her body rose to the surface of the water, and was discovered floating down the River Aire, betwixt the flood gates and the dam, at Knostrop. From the investigation which toop place at the inquest, held on the same day, it appeared that an attachment had subsisted for some time previously, be twixt the unfortunate woman and a fish.dealer ' called Robert Armstrong. The intimacy, however had been broken off, and Armstrong was going to be married in a short time to another woman. The 'jury gave in their verdict—" Found drowned, but by what means there is not sufficient evidence to show."-- Leeds Times. THE MURDER NEAR WEST CALDER.—We learn that a clue has been obtained by the county police, which is likely to lead to the detection of the murderer of the old man Geddes, near West Calder, to which we referred in our last ; but at present it might be injudicious to give particulars.— Scotsman. DEATH OF LADY GREY, OF GRODY.—Her Ladyship died at the Earl of Stamford and NI arrington's seat, Dunham Massey, Cheshire, on Thursday, after a long illness. She was Lady Katherine Charteris, fourth daughter of the present Earl of Wemyss, and married 20th of December, 1824, Lord Grey, of Groby, eldest son of the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, by whom, who died 24th of September, 1835, her Ladyship has left issue two children, the present .ord Grey, of Groby, born 7th of January, 1827, and the Hon. Margaret Grey, born 12th of December, 1835. Sir Robert Peel gives a grand Parliamentary dinner on the eve previous to the assembling of the House of Commons. The entertainment will be to a party of about forty. The Right Hon. Baronet does not return to Drayton Manor, as his presence will be required in town from the press of public business. HOBUOUSE AND Co.'s BANKRUPTCY.—In the Bris tol District Court of Bankruptcy, on Thursday last, dividends were declared on the separate estates of Hobhouse, Philloit, and Lowder. Mr. Hobhouse and Mr. Phillott's private estates paid 20s. in the pound. On that of Mr. Lowder a dividend of 3s. in the pound, in addition to 9s. in the pound already paid, was declared. At the meeting on the joint estate, which is fixed for to-morrow ( Tuesday ), it is probable that a dividend of Is. 10d. or 2s. in the pound will be declared; and it is expected that a further and final dividend will be paid, snaking, in the gross, 9s. 6d. in the pound. A " JOLLY NosE."—The following, copied from a provincial paper, has been going the round of the Paris journals :—" At the Hure, in the department of the Upper Saone, may be seen a man who was formerly an under cook, who has had his nose cut off by M. Camot, a surgeon of Hure, and replaced by the ramp of a living fowl. This en grafting has perfectly succeeded, and M. Camot has only the trouble of, from time to time, plucking the feathers from the restored pose."

Tni DANVIIE, DEC. 21.—Our late statement re-:. specting the neglect of the Sulina mouth of the Da nube has been confirmed in a melancholy man /lei) for the violent storm which raged in the Black Sea at the cn(l of October and the beginning of No vember, and in which above twelve merchantmen and many lives were lost, several ships which were in great danger attempted to anchor at Sulina, but on account of the shallowness of the channel were forced to put out to sea, when two of them perished in the storm, and others, with great losses of cargoes and da mage to the tackling, with much difficulty reached distant parts. At Sulina there were lying at anchor, for weeks together, a great number of ships with full cargoes (on one day above 100) waiting till there should be a sufficient depth of water in the channel to enable them to go to sea. The numerous complaints of the Austrian shipowners, to which those-of the Da nube Steam Navigation Company are now" added, will certainly induce the Austrian Governmen t to ta ke some decided steps (if it has not already clone so) to obtain from Russia the adoption of measures to . make the channel in the Sulina mouth passable, withait da mage, for large vessels.—Cologne Gazette. The Gazette delle Isole lonic contains the following' article :—" A ship under Turkish colours, coming from Bengasi, and bound to Candia, arrived on the , 14th of Nov. in the harbour of Zante. On board there were three Mahometan merchants, who, having purchased slaves in the market of Bengasi, intended to convey them to other places, in hopes of great profit by this inhuman traffic. The Government, being informed of this fact, has, by virtue of the power givers it by the 11th Act of the second Parliament, declared the slaves to be free, and has given up the ships xo the Turkish Vice-Consul." BRUSSELS, JAN. 4.—The average price of wheat during the week ending Dec. 30, 1843, was 17f. 60e., and that of rye 11f. 14c. The import duty there fore on wheat is 37f. 50c., and on rye 21f. 50c. ' and the export duty n both 25 centimes per 1,000 kilo grammes. The duties received at Antwerp during the month of Dec. amounted to 481,917 f. The total receipts of the year was 5,852,359 f., above I,ooof. more than in 1842. The Voniteltr Beige publishes to-day the law which fixes 1,068,000 f. the budget of the Marine for 1844. BRUSSELS. TAN. 2.—Letters from Madrid, of the 29th De cember, state that by order of the Spanish Government the new postal convention between Spain and Belgium was to be carried into effect on the Ist of January, 1844. It is in con templation at Antwerp, to establish a regular communication between the Scheldt and Rhine between Antwerp and Cologne.. Tire object proposed is to serve the ports of the Lower Rhine, and thus to avoid the expense of trans. shipping and forwarding goods, to which they would be subject in consignments made by the railway, since that goes no further than Cologne. The following measure, of which the official journals give notice, appears to us to be very worthy of commendation. At the time of the inquiry into the state of the linen manufac tures, the Lauds practised in the trade of flax seed to the pre judice of our farmers, and of the quality of our linens was re peatedly pointed out ; it was the subject of numerous com plaints. The Committee of Inquiry in its Reports called the attention of the Government to this subject ; we are happy to find that a formality has just been adopted which will serve to check the evil, if not entirely, yet in a great measure. The following is the notice : "'l'o satisfy the wishes of the merchants of Riga, the Bel gian Consul in that city has been authorised (whenever he shall be requested by the merchants) to affix to the barrels of linseed intended for Belgium leaden stamps, with the Consular seal, and to deliver at the same time certificates stating the origin and the destination of the seed." It is evident that this measure mast give our farmers more certain guarantees for the real origin of seed sold as Riga seed, especially if it is delivered in the original packages, preserved entire, and if at the time of the sale,it is accompanied by the certificates given by the Consul. The committee of the merchants at Riga has decided that the expenses on consignments of linseed for Belgium shall be reduced to the same rate as on those for England.
