the private letters may be relied on, was of no
portance, and only a temporary interrnption to the
tranquillity of Saumur, had been made use of by a
party of speculators on the Paris Exchange, to canse
a panic, and induce sales of stock. The realer had
in consequence fitllen about one per cent., but as the
letters were despatched in the early part of %xi.
nestlay, the actual etre:et on the prices could not be
ascertained. The Quolidienue (Paris paper) of Wed-
nesday has the following paragraph on the subject :

" PARIS, FEB. 26.—Many reports were in circu-
lation this evening respecting an assemblage of
disaffected persons in the town of Thouars, and
who, after having committed excesses worthy of a
troop of genuine friends of liberty, intended to have
made an attack on the city of Sautuur. But the
gates being shut, this band of wretches are wander-
ing about the country, and it is annou:xed that one
of the regiments of the Royal Guard at Orleans has
been detached in pursuit of them. We publish this
intelligence without being able to give any exact
details. They will arrive without doubt to-mor-
row, and if the facts should prove to agree with
what has been circulated this evening in the capi-
tal, it may be added to the proofs already known of
the degree of fury with which some men may be
animated when they see the public peace secured by
the support of the laws."

AORICUYTURAL DISTREPS.—A very respectable
and numerous meeting of owners and occupicts of
land in the Soke of Peterborough, in the county of
Northampton, wa.s held at. the town-hall at Peter-
borough, on Saturday, the 2351 ult. pursuant to
requisition, for the purpose of taking into consi-
deration the distressed state of the agricultural in-
terest, and proiTiety of submitting the same by
petition to the House of Commons. The venerable
Earl Fitxwilliam took the chair, and opened the
business of the meeting by expatiating on the utter
inefficiency of the relief proposed by ministers to the
extreme distress of the agricultural interest. Lord
Milton followed, and admirably exposed the absur-
dity of the Bank Loan to the parish,:s, and the fal-
lacy of making the Sinking Fund a pretence agaimt
the reduction of taxation. A strong petition, in
conformity with these general views, was warmly
and unanimously passed, and is to be presented to
the House of Commons by the Members fur Veto-
borough.
Wretched Stole of the Poor in Ireland.—Putatoes
rose in Mayo, on Saturday, to the alarming price
of 6d. per stone.—The wretchedness and poverty
which exist at present in and about this town exceed
belief, and the prospect for the spring and sunialcr
is dismal indeed. It is not uncommon to see a man
spending the greater part of a day in red;g4ing
ground from which potatoes had been dug in the
season, and taking home in the evening the fOir
that, in the second search, lie discovers in the earth,
as the only sastenance winch lie can provide fur a.
famishing family.—Perhaps a more persuasive plug'
of the poverty that prevails could not be advanced.
and it way be seen Ia almost every potatoe held
around us.
The Bank of Ireland will shortly commence to
draw Bills, at 21 days sight, on London; or issue
Post Bills, payable in Loudon. fur stints within
certain limits not yet, we believe, finally deterunned
on. The Exchange fur thew Bids will be fixed
at 81.
