sell heavily, and hardly maintain Monday's prices. 'White
Beans are very dull. Grey Pease sell freely, and rather ex-
ceed last quotations. Oats are in abundance, as to cause the
trade to remain very heavy at rather less terms than on Monday-

SMITHFIELD MARKET, MAitcH 12.
There was rather a short market this morning, but owing to
the trade being heavy, the quantity was sufficient for the de-
mand, and the prices of all descriptions of Cattle may be
quoted as on last Monday.

the splendid collection of coins of the late Sir N 1.114.

M►a. CONNOLLY'S ikMORIAL.---1.110 appeal to
the Kist', on behalf of the unfortunate Connolly
has at length been completed. It embr►ces alt
the circumstances which were urged on his de-
fence at the trial, and particularly alludes to the
idea which at the time he laboured under, %it.,
his right to prevent the intrusion into his house.
In addition to the Memorial are certificates from
the Magistracy of Hertford, and particularly
from the Jury who tried him, and who strongly-
recommend him as a tit object for the extension
of the Royal clemency. The Memorial, we un-
derstand, was placed in the hands of his MA-
JESTY on Wednesday by a personage much i►L
the Royal confidence, but no official intimation
of the Royal pleasure has as yet been given,
although, from some circumstances that have
transpired, it is expected that his sentence will
not be altered. Connolly still entertains hopes of
a commutation of punishment. From the nature
of the arrangements in"transmitting convicts from
Hertford to the Hulks, a delay of only a few '
days will be observed. Should the sentence not
be commuted, Connolly will immediately be for-
warded to Woolwich.

Extracts front the g;;zing Papers, March 12.

[MORNING POST.]
In the House of Peers, last night, Lord Hol-
land moved, that the' Austrian Loan Bill be re-
committed, with the view of altering the phraseo-
logy of its preamble. But after making a general
attack on the policy of the Administration by
which Loans were granted to Austria twenty-
seven and thirty years ago, on the conduct of
the Emperor Francis in coming forward to return
only part of what had ceased to be claimed by
this country as a debt since 1799, and on the ap-
plication or rather the mode in which application
is to be made of certain portions of the sum re-
paid, the Noble Lord omitted to state what al-
rations he wished to make in the wording of
fie Bill. The Earl of Liverpool inferred from
this omission that the real object of the Noble
'Baron was, to read the House a lecture on the
transaction with Austria, which he had done in
such a manner that all that was unfavourable to
that Power was put forward, whilst every thing
redounding to its credit and honour was kept in
the back ground. The Noble Earl, ably sup-
ported by the Earl of Aberdeen, proved that
those Loans had been granted to Austria for ob-
jects so purely British, that Mr. Fox had de-
clared at the time that they ought to be given as
Subsidies, not as Loans. So far from looking
upon them as a debt which could be claimed, the
Whig Administration of 1806 had paid demands
made by Austria at that period, without even
proposing to use the amount, or part of the
amount, of those loans as a set-off. Was not this,
de facto, an abandonment of the debt, and was
not much due to the honour and good feeling of
the Emperor and his Prime Minister in being
anxious to pay such a composition as it was in the
power of their country to discharge ? After a
good deal of conversation of some interest,
though of little novelty, upon this subject, the
motion was negatived without a division, and the
Bill read a third time.
