" The schooner Mary Ann, Captain HILL, has strived here from Havannah. By this vessel we have received our regular • file of Spanish News papers to the 7th inst.—Our Correspondent writes, brat the I lavannnh mArket is over-stocked with European and'lndiq goods. Eighty-six merchant ves%7;f . i . erriveil at li‘avannah in the month of April, ot Ole folio ‘viog na:ions, via. : —l9 English , 5 French, 2 Dutch, 1 Swede, and 52 Americans. Seventy 7 eight merchant vessels sailed from Havannah iii the same month, of the fol io t ing nations, vit. :-17 Spanish, 12 Euglis!i, 6 French, 2 Dutch, 1 Swede., and 3S American." After the complete refutation by Nlr. ADDING TON, on Tuesday night, in the House of Com mons, of all the charges brought by the Oppusi- tion Members on the subject of the EVANSES, we could tardly have supposed that the subject would be renewed, though a menace of renewal was indeed held forth on that occasion. Mr. BARHAM, ' however, repeated the topic last night, and again received from Mr. ADDINGTON a complete refutation of all his allegations. Mr. STUART WORTLEY also took apthematter in favour of Go vernment, and made some pointed, remarks on the folly of supposing that Persons taken op on charges essentially relating to the security of the State, should be considered as entitled to all possible indulgences. It appears, that a matter of extra ordinary grievance ‘vas, the taking away of EVANS'S flute. Sa that a Prison is not to be a place of punishment, irdeserved, but. of amusement and luxury. Whoever has lived in an Inn of Court, near any StUdent who indulges himself in per fOrming on the fiddle , or the flute, hai not found his own studies advanced by the melo dious aid of such a neighbour, and we cannot see why a Puison, which ought to be a place of serious reflection, should be disturbed by un- necessary noise, even if it comes through the channel , of a musical instrument. A respectable OpPrisitiOtiPrint of this day states, by mistake no doubt; that Mr. HII.BY ADDINGTON defended the removal of EVANS'S flute " on the grOund that music isforbidden hi the gaol by the rules and regitlations."—On the contrary, Mr. ADDING, TON declared, that he thought those rules ought to be relaxed, *hen they, deprived a person 4ond of a pleasing art-of the barMlessiratificationarising from it, and that an Order had been given for the flute to be restored. But it QppOsition.have no better arguments to adyißce againit GO'- verinnent, for adopting measures'for the safety of the Btate;it may fairly. be said' ttiat their reason ing is ".-full of sound anti fury, signifying nothing." Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY, not satisfied, 'perhaps,: with the Newspaper Reports of the Resolutions whiekbe _submitted_ to .the liouse :of Commons, on the subject of Lord Siniintmes Circular Letter, has found some friend who contrived to get 'them inserted last Week in the Mottihg Chro nicle. if we did nut know that the paper in ques tion is filendly to Sir SAMUEL and his principles, we should conceive that some Ministerial Wag had practised a hoar upon the worthy Knight, as, in our opinion,'the*Newspaper Reports seem to be more accurate• than the form which may be con sidered as having his sanction. IVe shah present our Readers with these Resolutions as Oven in the Morning Chronicle, and then take the liberty of making a few observations on the subject : " That it is highly prejudicial to the due administration of justice, for a Minister of the Crown to interfere with the Ma gistrates of the country, in cases in which a discretion is sup posed to be by law vested in them, by recommending or sug. gusting to them bow that discretion should be exercised. " That it tends to the subversion of justice, and is o dan gerous extension of the prerogative, for .a 2%l . inister of the Crown to take upon himself to declare, in hiiolficial . charac-, ter, to the Magistracy what he conceives to be the law of the :and, and that such an exercise of authority is the more alarming when the law so declared deepiraffects the security of the subject, and the liberty of the press, and is promul gated upon no better authority than the opinions of the Law Otheers of the Crown." • Now we should be glad to know how the due administration of justice can possibly be, in any degree, prejudiced when a Minister of the Crown, after having consulted the Law Officers of the Crown, as to the legality of his interfering, pro ceeds only so far as to recommend to the Magis trates of the County a proper exercise of the dis cretion vested in them by Law, upon' a case too in which the safety of the country is at stake, and after having received from those. Law Officer:, a full sanction for such recommendation, sup ported by the highest authorities of former times We should rather conceive that, instead l of being " highly prejudicial to the doe adininistration of justice," which - SieSmay EL contends is the tendenq of such recommendation, it is, on the contrary, calculated to promote the due administration of justice, by inducing the Magistrates to devote their utmost attention to the case before them, and thereby to preserve the peace : of the country, and maintain the proper authority of Government. But the worthy Knight speaks of " a discretion supposed to be by law vested" in the Magistrates. Is it possible that an experienced Lawyer, " sup posed" to possess deep professional knowledge, and high talents, could have used language of so loose and vague a description r Surely the Magis- Crates must have such discretion vested in them, or not—it can never be a matter of mere suppos 61'7, Mid if it wet:, it wot,;( 1 . t)e more necessary tliu uni:cr the sanction of the Law Authorities, they should be filly apprized of the extent of discre tionary power vested in thew, and exhorted to a proper use of it, in cases of national alarm ,when the safety of the Empire is concerned. Such inaccu rale wording. attributed to a great practical Lawyer, savours, indeed, strongly of a hoax.— But the second Resolution of the Knight declares, as he indeed said before, that such interference tends to the subversion of justice," and that it is " a dangerous extension of the prerogative for a Minister of the Crown to take upon him to de clare, in his offieial character, to the Magistracy what he conceives to he the Law of the Land." — Now mark, gentle Reader—the Minister of the Crown did not state what he individually conceived to be the Law of the Land, but what, after he had consulted the proper Authorities, he found to be the Lai; of the Land. he Resolution proceeds to say that :" such an exercise of authority is the more alarming when the law so deeply affects the. security of the Subject, and: the I;herty of the Press, and is promulgated upon no better authority than the opinions - of the Llw Officers of the Crown." Now, we say that because it so deeply affects all these important and essential interests, it is the more necessary that the Ma gistracy should be reminded of their duty, and'ex horted to exercise their discretion with all due care and solemnity, when such important and es sential interests are at stake. We, therefore, con- ceive that negligence on the part of a Minister of the Crown, et such a period, would be alarming indeed ; that he would grossly neglect his duty to the State if- he did not adopt every proper mea sure for irs protection ; and that the recommen dation in question was a proper measure is fully proved, not by the mere opinions of the Law Odi- . cers of the Crown,but by their opinions ground ed on the doctrines laid down and maintained by the best LAW AUTHORITIF.B of former times. As to the -little ,sneer that the interference hail no. no . Letter authority than the opinions -of the Law Officers of the Crown," it is so unworthy of the character, .pibfessional eminence, and 'personal manners of .the Worthy Knight, that we are the more-convincsti the whole is a mere hoax upon hint, as we at first supposed, and we shall, there tore, most readily give insertion to whatever the Learned Gentleman may think necessary for positively disavowing having formed, or given his sanction to Resolutions - so incorrect, so crude, so inconsistent. with reason, Common sense-, and so hostile to the security of the State. Our Readers, we are sure, will read with great pleasure the eulogituni which were bestowed up on-Mr. W. PoLE last night in the House of Com mons. When it is recollected, that within a little more than seven months, a New Silver Coinage; to the amount of between GO and 70 millions of pieces, was commenced, completed, and put into circulation ; that the exchange of- the New for the Old Silver Coin of the Realm, was simulta neously effected in every part of Great Britain ; and that the whole of this immense operation was planned with so mach judgment,and executed with so much skill, that the exchange was effected without loss or inconvenience to individuals, and at an expellee to Government inconceivably small, we shall not be suspected of a disposition to flat ter the Right Hon. Gentleman, when we say, that his exertions have excited the admiration, and are deservedly rewarded with the gratitude of the Public. RUDUCTION IN THE STAFF OF LIFE.—We have heartfelt pleasure in acquainting the Public, that, through the blessings of Providence,. the exorbi tant price of BREAD is at length reduced three halfpence in the quarter') loaf. The promptitude and avidity dil)layed in raising the price of this valuable article, compared with the tardiness in reducing it, is so extremely opposite as not to admit of comparison. The quarter') !Oaf is now only EIGHTEEN-FENCit !!! It must, however, be. farther reduced. • Mr. PONSONEY, whose private virtues 'warmly interest his friends, we are sorry to find, mends very slowly, and is by no means Out of 4anger.— His medical attendants are, Doctors BAILLIE and WARRENpMCSSIS. LYNN and TEGART. To the credit of both political parties, they manifest their respect for this Gentleman by frequent inquiries as to the state of his health. Mr. SERGEANT, who was in London for some time on business of the Bank of the United States of America, left town a few days ago for Liver pool, there to embark in the , Factor for Philadel phia, having satisfactorily completed all the ar -rangements he came over to make for the Bank.. We suppose be has by this time sailed. We un derstand that Mr. SERGEANT has, among other things, made an arrangement with Messrs. BAR ING, BROTHERS, and Co. for the payment in London, at the par of exchange,' of the divi dends upon such portion of the capital stock of the Bank, as may be held by persons residing in Europe.—(3lorning Chronicle.) Yesterday Earl BATHuRvr had an audience of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton-I-Muse. In the evening the Duke of IIuTLAND, and a party o f Noblemen and Gentlemen, dined with his °Royal Highness. ROMAN CATHOLICS. 'the Diblin Evening Post, of the 28th ult. cone sins an article from which we extract the fol. owing passage : " CATHOLIC AFFAIRS.—The long-pending affair of the (milli Dioceses of Waterford and Lismore, is brought to its teengetion. Accounts have arrived lately front Rome, whick mcntion,•in positive terms, that the wishes of the Secular and Regular Clergy of said Dioceses who appealed to the Holy See for its countenance to their postulation,' hare been amply gratified by the appointment of their highly cherished object, the Rev. Doctor Rots Ear W.u.sn, P. P. of Dungarvan, as their future Bishop, in a general Congregation of Cardinals, held on the 11th day of May last, to decide that important question. Their decision, as Roman Letters assure us, was prompt, so much so, that without the least hesitation or de bate, be was honourably elected." We call the particular attention of all who are (rico& to THE PROTESTANT ASCENDANCY, who, in more appropriate words, are friends to our happy Establishment in Church and State, to reflect on the foregoing fact. What right have a congrega• on of Cardinals, with the Roman POtttiff at teir head, to make any Episcopal Appointments in this Country The act is an officious, daring, and insolent intrusion upon the Royal Prerogative, and ought to receive the most decided reprobation of our two Legislative Bodies. It is a sort of . Treason to announce such :an appointment - by a Foreign Power, and an outrage on the Constitu• tion to give any'sanction to it. Instead of dis• cussing the subject of the VETO on the part of the Monarch of these Realms, respecting the appoint ment of Woman Catholic Titular Bishops, the Roman Catholics ought to be retrired absolutely, and for ever, to renounce all claims to have arty Episcopal Appointments over Dioceses' within the British Empire. Before they presume' again 'lts apply to the Legislature for any liirther indulgence (they have full enough .already), this positive re* nunciation ought to be a preliminary and indis. pensable measure. Can it be doubted, that if we were absurd enough to bring into the slightest danger THE PROTESTANT ASCENDANCY, as nOW by Law established, aud the, Roman Catholics, that is POPERY, should obtain co-ordinate autho rity, that they would not endeavour to render their TITULAR ARCHRISHoPS and BISIWPS the only legal and established Archiepiscopal and Episcopal Bodies. It would be worse than folly to doubt that such %Yould be the issue. We,-there fore„call upon our own legally established Bede• siastical Bodies, all Friends to THE CONSTITUTION and THE PROTESTANT ASCENDANCY, to reflect OR the above alarming fact, and to oppose with all their might every attempt to shake that ASCEN. , DANCY, lest they negligently suffer another Ascen4 dancer to arise in due time, to the subversion of our Government, the destruction of our Religion, rind the restoration of BIGOTRY, SUPERSTITION, and all their horrid and horrible consequences in this any Empire. ROYAL ENTERTAI LAMENT,--On Tuesday even. ing, between six and seven o'clock, the QUERN. accompanied by the Princess ELIZABETH, went iti her carriage to Carlton-house, where they were received by the PRINCE REGENT, who had a party to meet his Royal Mother to dinner, consisting of the Duke and Duchess of YORK, the Duke of GLOUCESTER, the Princess Sol•HIA MATILDA, 314 others, to the number of twenty-two. At half past nine, o'clock, there was a party of distill_ guished personages to meet her Majesty theQuer N, amounting to between 250 and 300. It was not a dress party ; a note at the bottom of the invites. lion card mentioned only frocks. The State apart.. mentawere not open upon. this occasion, but the company were shown into the lower apartments, the whole range of which were thrown open. The REGENT was in constant attendance upon his Royal Mother during the whole of the evening. There were a few card-tables. The Duke of YORK'S band- attended in the conservatory, and played various pieces during the evening. A little before 12 o'clock her MAJESTY and the Princess E LI ZABETH left in their sedan chairs, esc orted b y a party of the yeomen of the Guard , an d several. police-officers. They proceeded through the g ar. dens into St. James's-park to the cideen,s-palace.: The whole of the company left soon after, as fast as their carriages could be got up. Yesterday the QUEEN, and Princesses Eciza. BETH went to visit the Bishop of LONDOll'and his Lady, at their house in Fulham, walked in the gardens, and afterwards partook of a sumptuous repast. They returned to the Queen's palace in the evening, where her MAJESTY had a select party. The Duke of CLARENCE was not quite so well on Tuesday as he had been, but we a re ha pp y to to say his Royal Highness was better y esterda y . The Princess CHARLOTTE has lately made a present to Lady SUSAN RYDER, the eldest (laugh. - ter of the Earl of HAtteoweY, of a most elegant Brussels lace dress of the value of 3001. which is to be her Ladyship's wedding dress on Friday, when she is to be married to Viscount EBRING, ToN, at St. George's Church, Hanover-square, by the Archbishop of YORK. Sir B. HoBH6UsE transacted business yester. day, for the first time, since his appointment to be Under Secretary of State, in the room of Mr. BECKETT. Mr. BECKETT, the newly appointed Judge Ad. vocate-General, in the room of the SPEAKER, transacted business at his office for the first time on Tuesday since his appointment.
