Beans sell freely, but Pease are dull. The Oat trade' is very
dull, and Monday's prices are hardly supported. The rounded

is always the highest of the twelve .naritime districts, is only

THE AItTS.—Mr. W. B. COOKE, one of ogr
best living Engravers, opened his Annual Exhi-
bition of DItAWINGS yesterday," in .Soho-square.
Much us we have been gratified on for Mer occa-
sions,we cannot Vat consider the present assemblage
as generally superior to what he has previously
exhibited. It is also highly gratifying to see this
chief Artists in chalk and water-coloured Draw-
ings contributing their respective works to this
general treasury of such species of Art. We
regret that we have not room to notice particu-
larly the principal works that adorn the place ;
but when we state that there are productions of
Sir TuomAs I.:swat:Nen, of the late al Uwron,
STOTHAItO, ItOREILTSOS, the late G IRIAN, R.
WEsT4lt.i HAvELL, the late TnESHAAI, J.N.W.
Tv nNEn, the late Moxito, CoPLEV FIELDING,
Enninur, OWEN, CIPIIIANi, DIGHTON, WILKIE,
UwiNs, CHIIiTALL, the late R. WILSON, and many
other excetlrnt Artists of the present day, w e nerd
not add that Mr. Coo has prepared an exqusite
treat for all persons of real taste and ju Igment. We
ought to state that the Miniatures of Mr. Wmto,
son of the Royal Academician, are well entitled
to notice. There are also, besides other beau-
tiful Drawingu by the late Mr. GAINiSCOROUGH,
two Aloonlight Scenes, that viewed through mug-
raying glasses, produce un admirable effect.—
There are also Print Rooms, in which the tn.
gravings of Mr. CooKE. as well us of other great:
A rtists, prove how well qualified he is to preside
over an Exhibition of this nature.

THE TENTH HUSSARS.— Whatever feelino,
might have been excited by the publication of Mr. BAT TIER's
statement, respectng the treatment he received from the Officers
of this regiment, we deemed it indecorous to continent further
on the subject, after it became the object of investigation beLite
the proper authority. The business has undergone a scrutirly, in
consequence of which some changes have already taken place is
the corps, and more, we understand, are likely to occur. We do
not take upon ourselves the right of questioning whether the
decision of the Commander-in-Chief on this affair was crroneosee
or not; nor do we conceive ourselves authorised to do so. The
regiment has been 'hotted with censure : the Lieutentant-Colonel
has bees removed from the command ; several of the officers
are directed to exchance into other regiments, and it is evert
said, that the Corps is to be ordered to the East Indies.—
Under these circumstances we deprecate the continuance
of any furthrr system of annoyance against a body of ram
who are collectively suffering for the faults ot- a few ind:vi-
duals. A document is now put forward, purporting to be
Memorial to his Royal Right:es, the Duke of York, praying
for the removal of the Tenth hussars front the Garrison of;
Dublin. We copy the Memorial from an Evening Paper—a
Paper which, on being called on to prove some allegations of
misconduct against the Officers of the Tenth, declined tO au
so, on some shuffling pretext :
To his Royal Highness the Duke of Yotk, Commanaer.in-
Chief of his Majesty's Forces.
"We, the undersigned resident Gentry of the City of D 44
tin, humbly entreat that your Royal Highness will be i
grac
ously pleased to remove trout this Garrison the Tenth Regi-
ment of Royal Hussars. We-arc induced to make this entreaty
from a conviction that such a measure will be calculated to
prese
rve that good feeling which has heretofore invariably sub-
sisted between us and'the Officers doing duty in our Garrison—
that it will conduce to the peace of the City, and contribute ui
the character of the Service. '—(Dublin Star, April ti;) - •
The KING i 3 reported to have lately sent for
Lord ELICOMRE, the CHANCELLOR'S grandson ( who having
passed through Winchester School with great credit to himself,
and who is now entered as a Gentleman Commoner at New
College, Oxford,) and presented him with a splendid Edition\
of the Classics, in which was written in his 31AJESTY'b
OWN HAND an inscription in the highest degree
mentary to the yaung Lord's learned 'and venerable Ancestor.

Some time, since the CILANCELLOR presented
Dr. GABELL, the late esteemed Head Master of Winchester
School, with the Rectory of Binfield, in Windsor Forest, the
best in his own immediate rwrona,ge ; and lately the same a -

We have to congratulate Parliament and the
•Oountry on the rejection of a measure which
would have proved deeply injurious to the
landed interest, and might have opened the gates
of ruin to many individuals and families. • The
Bill for.abolishing the Usury Laws and exposing
the public to the unfettered rapacity of money
lenders, was carried irn the Commons last night
:by a feeble majorit y into a Committee, where an
obstinate conflict took place between its friends
.and opponent's, and in a series of divisions, pro-
phetic of the ultimate result, that majority
dwindled down to four, and in one instance to
The House having resumed, the Chair-
man asked leave to sit again on Tuesday next,
when Mr. Littleton moved that this day six
months be inserted, instead of Tuesday.—
The House again divided, and the Amendment
was fortunately carried by a majority of Ci 7 to 63, •
so that the Bill is lost for the Session. The other
business in the Commons possessed no interest.---
In the Lords, Earl Darnley redeemed the notice
.which he had given nearly two months since,
'and after an elaborate and comprehensive speech,
rn which he took a view of the general State of
,irelandvmoved, " That a Select Committee be
appointed to consider how far the measures for
the regulation of Ireland, lately adopted by Par-
liament or recommended by his 'Majesty's Minis-
ters, have tended, or are likely to tend, to re-
move discontents, to alleviate animosities, and to
ameliorate the state of the country ; and whether
any, or-what other farther measures, may be re-
quired to secure the happiness and welfare of
that part of his Majesty's dominions. The Earl
of Liverpool opposed the motion, on the ground
that instead of proving beneficial to Ireland or
the Empire, the proposed inquiry might lead the
country in-to serious difficulties. The question
having been amply debated by all the Peers
connected with Ireland, the House divided, and
the motion for a Committee was negatived by a
majority of 57 to 17.

.iitie.

[MORNING CIIRONICLV.I
We confess we were pleased with the tone of
Lord Liverpool's speech last night in the House
of Lords. It was indicative of a wish on the part
of the speaker to do good to Ireland, if he knew
how. With some of the sentiments uttered by
him we also agree. Here, however, we must
Limit our commendation. He seemed, to use a
homely expression, quite at sea with his subject.
It was every thing hut a luminous speech. He
either durst not, or was unable to draw the infer-
ences from his own premises which they ob-
viously suggested. lie dwelt upon things of
comparative unimportance, and evaded the con-
sideration of things of the very greatest import-
ance. His Lordship commenced with bearing
.testimony to the estimable character of the Irish
people :,---
= I never have. visited Ireland," said he, and therefore know
'nothing of its localities; but this I can say, that both in my
pritate capacity and public situations, I have come in contact
with large masses of the natives of that country, on many occa-
sions. I know how great a part of the industry of the towns is
in the Lands of Irish labourers, and how many branches of our
,manufactures are carried on by Irish mechanics, and I have
had an opportunity of looking minutely into their conduct.—
What2ver they may be in their own country, I can say of Clem
in this, that there does not exist, on the face of t* e
a more industrious, a more honest, or a more kindly dispnsed
people."

If then with .a fruitful soil, and an excellent
.climate, a people, who, in large masses, behave
in so exemplary a manner abroad, are yet in a
.most miserable and disturbed condition, the fault
-must be in the Laws and Government of the
country. If the people had the same protection
in their own country which they obtain here,
'they Would of course behave in an equally ex_
emplary manner. Accordingly, when we look
into Ireland, wee find that the Government and
the Law are administered by a small fraction of
fire. people, divided from the rest by re-
ligion and by race, that the great body of
•the people are kept in a state of vassalage
to this small fraction, in which all power is
cetitered. So long as this state of things conti-
nues, so long as the professors of our religion are
allowed an ascendaney over the professors of the
offer, so long as the law is merely an instrument
hi the hands of 0110 class to oppress another, it is
impossible that tLe people can display the quali-
ties in Ireland that they display elsewhere. The •
first thing to be done in Ireland is to break down
those barriers which separate a part of the popu-
lation from the rest ; to destroy the distinction,
which makes religion .a source of emolument to
one part, and of suffering to the other, which
arms the one with the power to oppress, and de-
livers np the other, bound hand and foot, the
victim of the oppressor, Catholic Emancipation
must then be the foundation of every plan for the
amelioration of the state of Ireland. The bar-
riers must he removed--there must be no ascend-
ancy to one religion, or inferiority to another.—
Tbe; law must be for the benefit of all, and not
for the supposed benefit of a few to the oppres-
sion of tine great body.

The .Imstrian Observer of the 26th ult, gives
various particulars -under the head of Turkey ;
but the intelligence of that paper often seems, in
_spirit and character, so very Turkish, that little
or no reliance ought to be placed upon it, espe-
cially vihat relates to the progress of hostilities
between the Greeks and the Porte. It is said
.that the present Grand Vizier has hit upon an
expedient for improving the constitution of the
Turkish armies, which, if steadily acted. on, ap-
pears likely tG he successful. The plan has for its
Basis,. a commutation of the old quota of troops
supplied by the several provinces of the empire,
for a corresponding amount in money—leaving the
levy, the pay, and consequent discipline of the
fioldiers,, to the Government itself. The influ-
elite exercised by Lord Strangford at the Porto •
is much expatiated ow in these papers. II is Lord-
slap, it appears, has insisted that certain lonian
subjects should he regularly tried by the Turkish
authorities before they were punished, on the
charge of recruiting for the Grt,eks, and of de-

signing to burn the arsenal of Constantinople.--
Lord Boron's baggage transport, which had been
captured near Cape Papas, was liberated on
Lord Strangford's interference. The usual
statements are made of dissensions between the
Greeks and their British auxiliaries, and among
the Greeks themselves; but it is a cheap conso-
solation for perpetual losses and disappointments,
to rail at those who inflict them.
