THE MA RKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 12.
Our supplies continue to pour in upon us ; we have hadlse-
veral large arrivals in this week, and no improvement in our
sales, which remain in the same stagnant state as on the pre-
ceding week • our prices are nominal as on Monday, and every
ping offered to induce the buyers to purchase, but with-
out-effect.—Flour did not tall, as was anticipated, on. Monday,
but we do not know the cause, as horn the state of the Wheat
Market, and the large arrivals of Flour,.-we had reason to ex!
pea what we anticipated. „

The Gazette of last night announces the day,.
about:which inquiries were beginning to be made
Niith some anxiety, when Parliament is to meet
for the dispatch of business; and that day is
Tuesday the sth of February.—The same Offi-
cial. publication .also presents us With the new
appointments, which do not indeed vary at all
frorn what conjecture had previously fixed them.
'.l'he'..Duke of Montrose is transplanted from
the Mastership of. the Horse to the Lord Chain-
berlainship ; and the space which he has left va-
cant-is to.be filla up by the Duke of Dorset, now
Master of: the Ttorse,. Lord Cholmondeley having
resigned thet)..,ord Stewardship of the Household,
thar.;:situatiou js . to, be. occupied by Marquis
Coninghtukt,,T&Duie.of Dorset, Lord Conyng,-
haJrvand, Mr; ,Goulburn have been sworn of his
-.Majesty's •nost Honourable Privy Council. The
most important Qf all the appointments, no doubt,
is Alsat.of the .Marquis Wellesley to the Lord
Lieutenancy of, Ireland.. If his Lordship is to
he unfettered. in., the exercise of his talents. while
governing that kin,gdorni. we have strong hopes
that,he_ can, or:: at least we knout that her could
once have done much for the improvement of its
condition. But as. the human faculties are some-
times. known to . expand as circumstances of vast
import arise whiCh demand their exertion, so
they may likewise contract, and become enfeebled,
not,only by increasing years and those habits of
indolence which the want of adequate employ-
ment for a great and active mind is apt to produce,
but. also by narrowed fortunes. There is a vast
difference in Lord Wellesley's situation, as ac-
cepting office. from the present Ministry, and as
affecting,. did some years ago, and
which he had a right to to form a Ministry
of his own, and to assign every department of
State to its appropriate occupant, himself being
Chief. If his Lordship is only to govern Ireland
upon those principles and within those bounds
t Mr. Peel, for example, prescribed to- him-
while he was the efficient person in that
kingdom ; if he is only to govern it up to, or ra-
ther down to, the political views which such a
. man as the official Secretary sent out with him
may entertain, or have adopted ; then are we
sure, however the splendour of the Vice-regal
dignity may, suit his Lordship's taste, or its
salary aid his finances, that lie will ulti-
mately regret his acceptance of the office.
will put a case for his Lordship's con-
sideration :—We have no doubt that Mr. Peel
will discharge all the de ties of the home Secre-
tary of State to the very best of his talents—
with the very utmost exertion of his zeal and in-
dustry. Would Lord Wellesley, we ask, in any
future changes and transplantations of Ministers,
be content to accept the situation of Secretary of
State for the Home Department, on condition
that he administered it in the very manner that
it had been administered by Mr. Peel, now, we
will suppose, become Foreign Secretary ? Or, if
he so accepted office, would he be in a condition
to render his country as efficient service, as if he
had brought his own 'talents, unfettered by rule,
into the new situation ? Would he not be a fol-
lower of Mr. Peel in more senses than one ? And
as every copy is weaker than the original, would
he not be even less able to benefit the State than
his prototype ? Of what use are extraordinary
talents, if they are to act only in pistrina? Of
what advantage is a gallant old hound in the
pack, if he be whipped from the scent whenever
he attempts to lead, and brought into the rear of
the yelpers and
,babblers ?

[NEW TIMES.]
The news from Ireland is upon the whole
more satisfactory than it was a short time s ince.
The resident Gentry and substantial Yeomanry
have begun to unite for the protection of their
own lives and property : the soldiery have in two
or three instances been sent into the disturbed
districts, and the appearance of so small a body
as twenty has sufficed to spread alarm alnongst
the robbers who had previously carried on their
depredations with impunity. Several of the par-
ties implicated in the late murders have been ap-
prehended, and will be brought speedily to trial;
and little doubt can remain but by these united
exertions an end will be put to the scenes which
have lately excited so much horror. In the
meanwhile the arrival of a new Lord Lieute-
nant will tend to give fresh animation and vi-
gour to the efforts of the friends of order. Justly
respected as the Nobleman is who for• the last
three or fdur years has held this high station;
yet the mere circumstance of a chano-e and the
uncertainty what new measures his successor
may adopt, will thraw the disafft cted into con-
fusion. The talents of the Marquis Wellesley,
too, are universally acknowledged to be great ;
the characteristic of his administration of Go-
vernment is known to be vigour. Much will be
respected from his exertions ; and the expecta-
tion alone will doubtless furnish a strong incen-
tive for him to apply the whole powers of his
•vaaind to so arduous a task, lie will not commit
the vulgar error of confounding vigour with vio-
lence ;
.but if force should be indispensably ne•
cessary'in the outset he will know that in the
future: stages of his undertaking, laborious inves-
tigation, deep reflection, and the judicious advice
of the wise, moderate, and experienced part of
the. resident community can alone enable him to
'pface the tranquillity of the country on a firm
basis.

[MORNING POST.]
Important intelligence *reached us yesterday
ftom Pernambuco. It was brought to this coun-
try by the ship Titus, which has arrived in the
Downs; the letters and papers by her have not
all yet been transmitted to London. The dabs
of those received are to the 25th of October, and
they must be the latest, as she sailed on the fol-
lowing day. The-Revolution so often attempted,
and as often prevented, at Pernambuco, has at
length been accomplished in a manner which
leaves no doubt of its being entire and per-
manent, as the yoke of Portugal has been
