[NEW TIMES.]

The Dublin Morning Register, a newspaper
belonging to Mr. O'Connell, and edited by some
of his brethren in arms, contains a very long ac-
count of a Cork Catholic Meeting, assembled
for the useful purpose of voting thanks to the
said Mr. O'Connell for his exertions. Resolu-
tions to this effect were carried, as the natives
would say, unanimously with one exception—a
Mr. Ronayne, who, in the great controversy
between Mr. O'Connell and his quondam " fine
animal," Cobbett, has (like his countryman,
Mr. Richard Martin) taken the side of the ani-
mal. We do not pretend to be able to decide on
the merits of this illustrious contest, nor is it in
any way worthy of the slightest attention, further
than that it seems to 'be one of the misfortunes
of Ireland, that it is necessary to mention such
people at all in connexion with its concerns. How-
ever, as long as the Roman Catholics persevere in
putting their affairs into such hands—as long as
they will look for advocates in the persons of needy,
brawling barristers—as long as they choose
their assistants from the libellers of every thing
honouredand honourable in England—in a word,
as long as they prefer approaching this country
with the terms of menace- and defiance, and by
the agency of the profligate and contemptible—
so long they may look for rejection of what. they
desire. That the folks to whom they have given
their leadership desire emancipation, is preposte-
rous to believe. Were it granted, " Othello's oc-
cupation's gone ;" and therefore they well know-
ing what will disincline the people of England from
granting it, will of course take• every steN as
they have long been doing, to excite that disin-
clination by all the means in their power. Those
who view the question of emancipation on an ex-
tended scale, as a great measure of national
policy, and not in reference to the paltry
quarrels, and more paltry vapouring, of the
Irish demagogues, regret this exceedingly.
No doubt a strict philosophy should ren-
der the people of England indifferent to
such things. The measure should be adopted
if conducive to the benefit of the empire, with-
out the slightest referrence to the misconduct
of the Roman Catholic 'Advocates. But
in the present state of existence, it is too
much to expect that strict philosophy govern
the motions of mankind. Insolent defiance
will beget a spirit of dogged resistance—imper-,
tinent vapouring will be met by contempt—
and contumelious abuse will produce dislike of
those who employ it. These are the wea-
pons of the self-constituted leaders of the
Irish Catholics and when the people of Eng-
land see that votes of thanks are carried, as-
sociations got up, aggregate meetings called,
all for the honour and glory of such persons,
they find it hard to disunite the agitators from
the people ; and it is in vain to deny it, that this
conduct has infinitely increased the aversion of
the great majority of this country to any mea-
sure of emancipation.

[MORNING CIIRONICLE.]
The alarm and gloom, in the Money Market
reMained undiminished yesterday. Consols for Account, which
closed on Thursday night at 87, opened yesterday morning at
86,i, and afterwards fluctuated between that price and 87. Ex-
chequer Bills were quoted at the' close at 2 discount to 2 pre-
mium, and a very great question arises as to payment advertised.
for- the-27th instant. We observe by the Gazette Exchequer
Bills are to be paid off or exchanged at that period ; the amount
is stated at thirty millions ; but we believe only a very small
proportion will then be arranged, and of that small proportion
a considerable sum may be already in the hands of Government
or in the Bank of England. Yet still the stated period excites
much interest in the Aloney Market. The• usual routine has
been to receive the interest dtie, and to take new bills ; but if
they should remain at par, or a discount, the holders may very
probably demand cash.- The speculators for the fall also anti-
cipate a further reduction in the French Funds, the abandon-
ment of the financial plan, and the resignation of N. de Villele.
On the other hand, money is rather-more plentiful in the City,
and it is reported the Bank of England discounted every Bill
which was sent to the establiihment on Thursday. The Fo-
reign Narket was in a dreadful state yesterday morning. South
American Stocks early. in the morning were reported at a fur-
ther fall of thiee per cent. upon the prices of Thursday, Co.
lombian Bonds being reported at 72, Mexican Scrip at 14 dis-
count ; the latter at the close-was advanced to 12 discount, and
the former buyers at 73. The other South American Stocks in
proportion. Austrian, Russian, and Prussian Stock have at
length given way—Austrian, 94 ; Russian, 90. The latter,
however, was quoted without the dividend, which was 50.
Greek Scrip was about 17 dis., Danish at 9. •

A commercial letter, dated Gottenburgh, I3th
August, says—We never knew the Iron-trade
so brisk as at. present. It was expected, that
when the sluices of the Trollhatta Canal were
re-opened, large supplies of iron would have
been received ; this, however, is not the case,
they arrive in fact very slowly. On the other
hand, American vessels are making their appear-
ance daily to load iron, so that what reaches us
is immediately shipped off. The necessary con-
sequence is, that hardly any iron is to be got ;
and the nolders are so tenacious, that the article
is procured with difficulty at 2.1 dollars Banco per
ship pound, and even then the less current kinds
only are obtainable. In the prices of steel and
nails there is'nn variation.

The stalks of the cow-parsnip are not only ate
as an article of delicacy in Russia, but they con-
trive to get a very intoxicating spirit from it, by
fomenting the stalks in water with the greater
bilberries, and then distilling the liquor to what
degree of strength they please, and which is said,
to be more agreeable to the taste than spirits
made from corn. _

A CASNIBAL.--A. brutish looking fellow, at
Manchester, named Joseph Renshaw, has been
ordered to find sureties to appear at the Sessions,
to answer a charge of biting off a part of the finger
or James Cooper, with whom he had a.quarrel
the other evening.

CURIOUS WAGER.—Two gentlemen of Leeds
made a bet of 20 sovereigns, that an acquaintance
of their's, with whom they daily take dinner, did
not, during one week (at table), speak a.ltundred
words. It was decided on Friday last, when
this curious spec:icuen -of taciturnity had only
spoken seventy-three.
