NAVY FIVE PER CENTS.
This day, at 19. o'clock, several Gentlemen,
holders of. Stock in the Navy Five per Cents.,

assembled at the City of London Tavern,

to take into consideration the means to be
adopted, and the propriety of petitioning the
House of Commons, against the Bill now
passing for the regulation of the payment of the
Navy Annuities. Soon after twelve a num-

ber of the principal Merchants, Bankers, and
Stockbrokers, among whom were—Mr. PEPPER-
PEIICORN, Mr. DAVID RICARDO, Mr. WHITE,
Mr. lII6GiNs, &c. entered the room, and after
some delay and discussion, no Chairman being
regularly appointed, Mr. PEPPERCORN took
the Chair, and Mr. litcGtNs proposed some
Resolutions, which he, however, declined putting,
in consequence of the thinness of the Meeting.—

After a great deal of discussion, the Meeting
separated, on a Committee being appointed to call
a more General Meeting on this subject. Among
the Members appointed to the Committee were,
Messrs. DIVED RICARDO, HIGGINS, WHITE,
PEPPERCORN, &C.

The dreadful disorders in Ireland, particu-
larly in the County of Limerick, appear to
proceed with unabated violence. It is difficult
to trace the motives and objects of these Ilagiti-

ous proceedings, as the atrocious perpetrators
assign different causes for their atrocities at
different periods. They are, however, con-
sistent in their turpitude, and act in ferocious
defiance of law, as well as with a total disregard
of justice and humanity. The influence, however,
of the Insurrection Act, the infliction of public
justice, and the operations of military force, may
indeed soon be expected to restore peace to the
country. We refer our Readers to another part
of our Paper for the intelligence which we re-
ceived this day, respecting more recent out-
rages and barbarities.

We have received the French Papers of Satur-
day, from which it appears that the tumultuous
scenes, alluded to in our paper of yesterday,
which took place in the church des Petits Peres
and the adjacent streets, on Tuesday and Wed-
nesdav,were repeated on Thursday, when twelve
persons were arrested and conducted to the Pre-
fecture of the Police. Messrs. de CORCELLES
and DEM ARCAY, members of the Chamber of
Deputies, who happened to be in one of
the streets where the crowds had collected,
Were also taken into custody ; and, after having
undergone an examination before a Commissary
of Police, by whom they were detained three or
four hours, they were released. The arrest and
subsequent treatment of these Deputies was de-
tailed by them to the Chamber on Friday, and
gave rise to a long and violent debate. M. DE-
MARCAY described the insolence and injustice
which he had experienced from the Police and gen-
darmerie, and contrasted it with the moderation of
the national guards. He stated, that he was pro-
ceeding with his wife to visit her mother, who
Was ill, when he was violently pushed back
against the wall by a gendarme on horseback,
who, upon his remonstrating against this conduct,
took him into custody, and lodged him in a guard-
house, from which he was not discharged until
three or four hours afterwards. M. de CoRCELLES
Was passing in the same direction for the purpose
of visiting a sick relation, and was treated in a
manner equally violent. The MINISTER of
the INTERIOR answered the complaints by de-
claring that, in his opinion, the Members
were themselves in fault, for attempting to force
their way through streets which were blocked
tip by the military, and for making use of seve-
ral irritating and insulting expressions to the sol-
diers, who desired them to retire. A scene of

great agitation ensued, many acrimonious ex-
Pressions passed between the most violent of
the two parties, and the subject was at length
disposed of by the House voting the pre-
vious question. The conduct of the Mis-
sionaries seems to have excited a strong
feeling of indignation against them in the
Prench capital, which was manifested at the
Church of St. Eustache and La Bonne Nouvelle,
as well as that of des Petits Peres, but the
general tranquillity has suffered no material in-
terruption, The Prefect of Police has in copse-

public, according to the extent of the proposed
reduction, will most probably be disposed to
assign to Colonel Davits more attention to the
Signs of the Times, than to the indefatigable
Alenil.‘r for the Scottish Boroughs. But Lord
PALM ERSTON very properly pointed out the in-
