THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, MAT 23.
The arrivals of last week were tolerably good, and of Flour
the quantity was large. This morning the supply of Wheat
from Essex, Kent, and Suffold, is good, with a tolerable propor-
tion of fine quality, but of all other sorts of Grain the fresh sup-
plies are scanty from every part. Prime samples of Wheat
alone command the attention of our millers, but even such do sot
obtain last Monday's prices, and allother sorts are declined in value
full 2s. per quarter; Barley meets scarcely any demand, and is
so dull in sale as to render the prices almost nominal; Beans
have no variation in prices from this day se'nnight ; Beans are
also unaltered, but a dull sale ; Oats meet buyers on the same
terms as last quoted ; the Flour trade is exceedingly dull.

OLD BAlLEY—juts DAY.)

(Before the RECORDER and a LONDON JURY.)
ROBBERY OF MR. HARRISON, THE EMINENT ENGRAVER

AND PRINT-SELLER.

Henry Fulham Bannantine, a man of very respectable ap-
pearance, was indicted capitally for stealing in the dwelling-
house of Mr. Joseph Robert Harrison, of Cornhill, either in the
year 1818, or in the subsequent years until 1823, several sets of
engravings from the works of the celebrated Hogarth. The in-
dictment was very long and varied, and the engravings were
stated to he of the value of 3001.

Mr. LEIGH stated the case to the Jury, as proved by the
prosecutor and a number of witnesses. The prisoner had lived
in the concern of Mr. Harrison in a confidential capacity, and
knew that his master had caused to be engraved one hundred
sets of Hogarth's Works, the folio size, which not being very
saleable then in the market, N.:ere removed to his country house
at Camberwell, somewhere about the year 1818. The sets were
very frequently examined by Mr. Harrison, and he always
found the number of bundles right. There were five bundles,
each contairling 20 sets ; but, on his opening some of the bun-
dles, he was surprised to find them deficient of one or more sets.
He then said nothing, and soon found them circulated in the
trade at a much. cheaper rate than he could possibly dispose of
them for. He made enquiries, which led to the prisoner, as
having been the original seller of them, and on challenging
him with the robbery, he admitted it, and very readily made
a full confession of his guilt. He had left Mr. Harrison's
employ two years before this time, and was in business for
himself. _ _

Mr. ANDREWS, for the prisoner, gave up the case without
any defence, and called a number of respectable gentlemen,
who gave the prisoner an excellent character. The Jury found
him Guilty, coupling their verdict with a recom►pendation to
mercy, in which the prosecutor most earnestly j6ined, as the
prisoner is in a declining state of health, and has a family.
Henry T. "Ileraft was convicted of obtaining, by false pre-
tensions, from Messrs. Leig and Co., Old 'Change, a quantity
of millenery and silk goods. Ile was sentenced to seven years
transportation.

Lord WILLOUGHBY de BROKE will sail early

[MORNING POST.)
We are induced once more to notice the fate
of the Catholic Bill, for the purpose of remark-
ing the happy, contented calm, which has pre-
vailed throughout the public, since the glorious
decision of ,Wednesday morning. Deep and ge-
neral anxiety before existed, but now all is 'se-
rene and tranquil--suspense and-agitation have
given way to certainty and quiet. We trust thus
result will not be lost sight hereafter. by the f4e-
c,rislature, should ever another attempt be made
to subvert our Protestant Constitution in Church
and Slate. There can be no longer a question of
the hostility of the British . People to such. a
change, and it therefore is as impolitic as useless
to tamper with their feelings on the subject.=
We also owe it to then) and to ourselves to ob-
serve, that their hostility to what is terraced
Emancipation, is in no wise referable to re-
ligious prejudices, or an intolerant bigotled
spirit. It is resolvable into a higher and nobler
sentiment, the highest and noblest sentiment
which can actuate an enlightened community,
namely, a conviction that the introduction of Pa-
pists into the Legislature and Administration
of this pre-eminently free country, would be
destructive of the Civil and Religious Liberty
we now enjoy, and the manifold blessings we
thence derive. This is the primary and funda-
mental cause of objection to the granting of the
Catholic Claims by the people of England, and
which objection the Papists obstinately refuse to
remove by a modification of the least tittle of
their allegiance to and dependance on a Foreign
Power, naturally in league with those Continen-
tal Cabinets who, from diversity, of- Govern-
ment and Religion, ancient prejudice- and root-
ed envy, are inimical to the peace and prosperi-
ty, as well as the freedom of the British Empire.
And are the people of England not supported
in their opinion by the daily occurrences in the
most enlightened Roman Catholit States of Eu-
rope ? Indeed France itself demonstrates that
Popery under a Monarchical system of Govern-
ment is utterly incompatible with civil liberty.
The Charter and Institutions granted to the
French People, under the auspices of this coun-
try, on the Restoration of the Bourbons,
was a perfectly adequate basis on which to
found a liberal Code of Laws, and a firm
guarantee against both Ecclesiastical and Ci-
vil oppression. But look at the consequences.
Has the French Representative Body either had
spirit or honesty enough to maintain its own
privileges, or those of the people? On the con-
trary, have we not seen, year after year, some
barrier to despotism broken through with impu-
nity, and one encroachment of Popery succeed an-
other, until at this moment the Jesuits and other
Clergy of France controul its Ministry, and carry
through both Chambers the most atrocious mea-
sures for their own aggrandisement and power,
and the prostration of public intellect and
conduct ? It is, therefore, a gross calumny
to impute the opposition of English people to
the demands of the Catholics as founded on
bigotry or political tyranny—No ; it emanates
from a pure and holy love of freedom, and a con-
scientious belief that the exclusion of Papists
from political power is necessary to the preser-
vation of those civil rights to the Papists them-
selves, which they share in this kingdom in com-
mon with the rest of its inhabitants. Having said
thus much in vindication of the motives of that
resistance on the part of the public which has
led to the late glorious triumph, we take leave of
the Catholic Question for the- pr, Emancipation"eserit.Thoogis
we have and ever shall oppose ,
to the utmost, we have and ever shall avoid
needless exasperation.

[NEW TIMES.]

The British Catholics held a Meeting on Sa-
turday, which was attended by all the Catholic
Peers and Catholic Gentry in town, and, consi-
dering the painful disappointment of their recerit
hopes, it must be acknowledged that they
evinced a degree of moderation which was highly
laudable. We could have wished, indeed, that
they had not permitted the intrusion of some in-
dividuals, who, as the Sunday Papers are pleased
to inform us, advocated the principles of civil IL
berty," but who certainly are no great authority in
principle of any kind. Such orators only detract
from the weight which would otherwise attend
the sentiments of a Howard or a Clifford. 'The
last mentioned Nobleman, with firmness but with
dignity, maintained that he paid to his King an
undivided allegiance. No person who knows
any thing of this venerable Peer can doubt that
he spoke with the utmost sincerity. kt.the
same time, the charge which Lord Clifford re-
pelled has been made with equal sincerity- by
persons of great honour and ability; and when
this is the case, an impartial observer will be apt
to suspect that there is some latent error in the
terms used, or some obscurity in the ideas con-
templated. In an able, but somewhat intempe-
rate, Pamphlet, attributed to the pen of Mr.
Croly, we find the prevalent opinion of the day
thus stated—" Civil allegiance is a dream, where
spiritual allegiance is not bound up •with
But this is surely going too far. Is the civil alle-
giance of the whole kingdom of Scotland a dream?
Undoubtedly not; and yet it is notorious, that
the Members of the Scottish Church expreislY
deny all spiritual supremacy in the Head of the
Civil Government. Or was the civil allegiance
of the ancient Christians to the Heathen EmpOors
a dream ? Undoubtedly not ; for they are record-
ed in history as models of fidelity and subindi-
nation ? The union of Church and State in Eng-
land is of a very peculiar nature. The King is
acknowledged by the Members of the Church of
England as their spiritual Head ; but he is not
acknowledged as possessing any spiritual autho-
rity whatever by the numerous. sects
from the Established Church. Presbyteries:,
