NEN, C ASTLE CaRN MARKET —March `A3

Our farmers being generally occupied with getting in their
spring Corn, brought a small supply of Wheat to this day's
market, and which sold readily at an advance of Is. per quarter.
Of Oats the supply was also small, and sell steady at a trifle
higher. There are few fresh arrivals of Barley, and the
little in Granary keeps working through, though as yet with
no improvement in value. The arrivals of Malt lately have been
large, and late prices are with difficulty supported. Rye, Beans, and
Peas, without change. Flour has gone off heavily this week owing
to the large supplies.

The Paymaster-General of the Foices has let his
late residence in Great George-street for three years to Go-
vernment for the accommodation of the Parliumentary Com-
mittees.

The election for North Nottinghamshire is fixed for
to-morrow, the 31st instant. No candidate has yet appeared
but Mr. aily Knight._
_

The character of the principal person engaged in
the late extensive forgery in the city, stood su high in credit,
previous to the discovery of his enormous frauds, that a rich
money-broker, with whom he had formerly large dealings,
declared a few days agu. on 'Change, that he would have lent
him 20,000/., bad it been asked of him.

Mr. Poulett Scrope paired off with Colonel Conolls
in favour of the Address to the Crown, for a charter to the
London University._ . _

The General Steam Navigation Company's Mail
Packet, the Sir Edward Banks, from Rotterdam, arrived off
the Custom-house yesterday, lylarch 29. Also the Tourist,
fiom Hambro.

RATHCORMAC AFFAIR.—The Gortroe trial has
been postponed. The accused have been admitted to bail in
the sum each of 2,0001., with two securities of 1,000/. each.

Lord Durham's health is so much improved by his
short vi9it to Lambton Castle, as to induce a hope that the
Noble Earl, his Countess, and their family, will return to their
house in town, for the season, at Easter.

On. Saturday despatches for Madras and Bengal
were made up at the East India House, and forwarded to those
Presidencies by the ship Bussorah Merchant.
M. Laporte started yesterday for Paris, to return
by Sunday, with his operatic force, co sisting of Madlle.
Grisi, Signors Rubini, Ivanhoff, and Lablache. The first
opera is likely to be La Prova d'un Opera Seria ; the second
Anna Bolena.

Captain Gambier, nephew of the late gallant Lord
Gambier, who is a follower of the late Edward Irving, has
been preaching several times at Newport during the last fort-
night, at the house of Mr. Mellish, chemist. He has also
preached once at Ventnor._Hampshire Paper.
ATROCIOUS MURDER.—Chi Saturday evening
last, as a man named Edmond Keoghery was returning to
his home in the parish of Dysart, front the fair of this town,
he was attacked by a party of ruffians, and murdered in a
most revolting and inhuman manner. They knocked out
his brains, and dislocated the vertebrx of the neck, which
left him the saddest spectacle we have ever witnessed ; and
this, too, in the populous village of Brideswell, long before
the inhabitants had retired to rest. We under,tand that
four of the party have been arrested, and that active inquiry
is being made by the pol ce after the others. who, it seem,
have absconded.—Athlone Independent.
The Stock Exchange, on Saturday morning, was the
scene of a regular pugilistic contest between two members of
the establishment. It originated in some misunderstanding
relative to a transaction in Redruth shares, when one party,
considering himself aggrieved, pronounced the other a cheat,
whereupon he received a blow in the eye which laid him pros-
trate. A regular scuffle then ensued, and blows were given
and received until the standers-by, who at first thought it was
merely a " lark," interposed. 'I he Committee of the Stock
Exchange very properly took the matter up, and held a meet-
ing on the subject, but their report did not transpire.
Sir John Campbell, M.P. for Edinburgh, was pre-
vented from attending the dinner given to Lord John Russell
on Saturday, by his absence on a special retainer at the As-
sizes for the County of Cornwall.
It is understood that Mr. Dawson will visit this
town about the 22d of April, when he will be entertained at a
a public dinner by his friends.—Devonport Telegraph.
ANARCHY AND DESPOTISM.—The nature of
anarchy has never been sufficiently understood. It is un-
doubtedly a horrible calamity, but it is less horrible than de-
spotism. Where anarchy has slain its hundreds, despotism
has sacrificed millions upon millions, with this only effect—to
perpetuate the ignorance, the vices, and the miseries of man-
kind. Anarchy is a short-lived mischief, wl.ile despotism is
all but immortal. It is to despotism that anarchy is indebted
for its sting.—Godwin.
RUS:;IAN STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.—
St. Petersburgh, March 13.—Last Monday there was a gene-
ral meeting of the members of the Steam Navigation Company
between St. Petersburgh and Lubeck. The account was ex-
tremely favourable. The number of passengers during the
season was 2,100, being 400 more than in 1833. The net pro-
fits for the year were 283,860 rubles. Of this sum 80 rubles
per share, or ten per cent., are to be distributed to the pr3prie-
tors. The remainder, 123,860 rubles, to be added to the re-
serve fund, which now amounts to 365,591 rubles.-:--St. Peters-
burgh Journal, March 14.
FIRE.—A fire broke out on Saturday night at the
mansion of Lord Dinorben, 75, South Audley-street, in which
the whole of the costly furniture in the Drawing-room was
consumed. The flames mounting to the ceiling, notwithstand-
ing its loftiness, and its having a three inch coat of plaster,
soon penetrated through and seized fast hold of the flooring
and joists above, and spread far and wide. Although there
were, besides six engines of the fire establishment with a full
complement of the men, four large engines of the County and
West of England, it was long before any impression could be
made on the fire, so greatly was it fed by the strong draught of
air which rushed up the wide staircases and along the passages.
The damage done is very great, and must at least, independ_
ently of th repair of the building, amount to many thousands
of pounds.

- TO THE EDITOR -OF. THE SU.N.
Sta.—Notwithstanding the House of Corninons has twice
spoken out—notwithstanding the plain language of the pre',?'
and the no less unequivocal sentiments manifested at Puh'ict
meetings—,he !Ministers still cling to offie.p. and assure us
it is not a trifle which shall induce them to relinquish it. Tae)
ask—and prima facie with some plausibility—why should
retire, if they bring forward salutary and -popular measures
With the Dissenters' Relief Bill in our hands, backed by other
temporal and ecclesiastical_ reforms, what motives but those
springing from faction can be adduced to defend the OpPor
tion against us ? You demand reform, and we respond to

call. What more ou'd you have ? What benefit is prom
to the country by our dismissal? What have we done,Y 6,etei
to merit disapprobation? and why, at all events, are r acme

a fair trial ? • •• •s,
These are questions Which I hear daily put, and not alwaY
I confess, judiciously answered. y When pressed by
shrewd opponent, men are too apt to forget the point in q,
tion, and parry the awkward thrust by indulging in individnac;
vituperation. The loss of temper is generally accompafflet
by a correspondent loss of reason, and hence the subiefe
which was at. first fairly proposed for argument, becomes'''.
vehicle for vulgar. invective and intemperate expression
Careful, myself to avoid an error which I condemn in
others, I will preface the few observations I intend maki"r:, b
the following reasons, any one of which, I contend, is sufficient
to refuse Ministers the-trial they so pertinaciously seek.
1. Because the Ministers were educated in that school, the
oppressive and resisting discipline of which urged our Amt."

rican Colonies to rebellion.
2. Because they aro disciples of those who calumniated the
French Revolution, when, at its dawn, the cause was spoilt's!'
3 Because they resisted the just claims of our Catholic,
brethren, and thereby caused bloodshed, insurrection an

disaffection. ••• • fo
4. Because they they have ever courted the friend shill
Despotic Powers.
5. Because the consequences of the olicy adopted by di:to':
41
selves and partisans for he last fifty years have been a pro- ram.
tion tion of the national strength—an accumulation of debts--
crease of taxation—famine and civil war in Ireland.
6. Because they voted against Earl Grey's Reform Bl',icb
7. Because their speeches and writings are extant, in wit
they, more or less violently, denounces: that bill as ciesoucee'
unnecessary, and revolutionary.
8. Because they broke the first Reformed Parlianseet. ~s
These are eight notorious facts which how disagree. a

no dispute. They are a portion of history, and as such can
be glossed over for party purposes. sad
