NEW CONVENTION ACT.—" We can state (says
ti;;. Dalin. Evening. Post) on authority on winch
we have been in the habit of relying, that a 13i11
is in preparation, and will be introduced early on
the Meeting of Parliament, by Mr: PREL, to
*mend tit;: Goavention Act—by which Meet-
ing, whether in. the present form, or what is call-
ed an Aggregatc.Assemhly,' will be declared to
constitute a misdemeanour. -In short, it is, in-
.tended to enact, that no Meeting, unless one
where the Sheriff of theliailiwick or a Magistrate
.presides, shall be deemed a legal Assembly. ,klence
it is easy to infer, that Public Meetings must
loon cease altogether. It is therefore incumbent
on the Catholic 130ard to speed all business, and
to prepare their different Petitions and Addresses
for; or else we much misdalculat, there vrill not
be 5t...7}1 a Body as' the Catholic Board in existence
by the middle of April." —Never tvas there a
measure more wanted than that which is here
spoken of. The folly,. licentiousness, and mis-
chief of the Catholic Debates, have risen to 'a
beight which demands.the interference of the Le-
giSlature. They-met under the pretence of pre-
paring a. Petition to Parliament, and there is not
a subject connected with the internal or external
policy of the. country, into which they have not
wriggled themselves, and canvassed like a regular
Parliament.

We are sorry to say that she indisposition ot
Mrs. JORDAN has continued for some time, al-
though her great spirit, vivacity, and resolution,
enabled her to triumph over its appearance during
her presence before the public, on the stage.
Wednesday, however, increasing indisposition
obliged her to resign the limps.' contest, and
yielding to the advice of her physicians, Mrs.
JoaDAN-in the evening reluctantly left town for
the sea-coast.

SUICiDE.-Yesterday morning Captain C-,
formerly Commander of an least Ifidiaman, put an
end to his existence by shooting himself through
the bead, at his apartments in tire neighbourhood
of Bloomshury-square. He dined the preceding
day- at the Captains' Club, and appeared in excel-
lent spirits., No motive can be assigned for this
dreadful act..

plied with the different kinds of Grain this morning, and
Wheat sold for 2s. per quarter more than on Wednesday.
Oats ,have also advanced Is. per quarter. Boiling Pease were

advance of 2s, per quarter. Barley,' Malt, and other kinds of
Grain, remain ;%t• the last quoted prices.
SMITHFIRLD, 111sItcsi 18.—This dar's Market had a scanty
supply of the various kinds of Cattle; Beef, Mutton, and
Pork, sold at last prices ; Veal was cheaper; and the trade,
for the•most part, was but indifferent. The sales in the Hay-
market were not lively; Hay fetched last price; Straw awl
Clover have got up in price.

Dieppe, during last year, comprised 104 vessels of
3100 tons, and navigated by 1807 men : the total
