THE MAI;KETS.

Con: -ExctiAsoE, MAY I'.--Having a large supply of
Wheat fresh in this morning from Essex, and but few millers
disposed to purchase, our sales sere very heavy, an ‘N:hat
few samples were disposed of, were at a decline of full 4s. per
quarter firm last Monday's prices, and a considerable quan-
tity remains on hand which could not be got off at the above
abatement. Barley is also 4s. per quarter cheaper, and al-
most unsaleable, the malting season being nearly over. Oats
are Qs. per quarter lower, in consequence of the %Lag:, tude of
the arrivals, particUlarly from Lincolnshire and Yorkshire.
Beans are 2s, per quarter cheaper, and for which article
there is little or no demand.
SMITHFIELD, MAY 17.—Our Market was this day well
supplied with prime Beasts, and much business doing; in the
early part of the morning trade was uncommon brisk, but
prices nominal as last week; the show of Sheep and Lambs
was tolerably good, and the prices of the latter article 'illicit
cheaper than on Friday; Veal and Pork remains nominal as
our last quotations. The business in the Hay Market was by
no means brisk this day, and the above article was heavy sale,
and last Friday's prices could 'with difficulty be obtained ;
Clover has fell in price, with little business doing ; Straw re-
mains the same as last week.

NORTHERN METROPOLIS.—This ancient and
interesting City, so generally and justly adniired,
will, we are glad to learn, ere long, boast of a
Trophy of the signal gallantry displayed by Scotch-
men in the late aru:lons and glorious war, and
will transmit to futtire generations a splendid,Me-
morial of national Gratitude, equally honourable
to those who deserved, and to those who con-
ferred it. The Festival to cake place in Free-
masnys"lttern, Great Queen street, on Saturday
the 22d .instant, (his Grace the.Dolte •Atholl in
the Chair), will we have no doubt he attended by
a great proportit,n of Scotclimen Loudon, and
it gives us pleasure to observe, that Englishmen
ate coming forward and uniting with Scotehtnen
in raising a Monument of their mutual glory anti
indissoluble friend,thip.

LAW ASSOCIATION.

We briefly noticed the Meeting of this truly
respectable Society, which took place on the 14th

instant, in Free Masons' Hall ; but the import-

an'r advarvages which the country is likely to tle-

rive from it, in purifying the legal profession,

rtntlers it an act of public duty on our part to

give all possible attention to its operations. At

sAnie time we must be remitted to say, that

this Paper first pointed out the propriety and ne-
cessity for such an instiintion. We have been
witch indebted to Mr. A*tDea•roN, and other able
Correspondents on the occasion, for ►heir efforts
in suppart of a Society established for the pur-
prise of securing Property from the rapacity and
presumption of ignorant Pi ete oilers, and for
maintaining the honour of one of the most im-
portant professions in civilized life, We now pre-
sent a fuller account of the Meeting in question.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Ilart. presided on the occa-
sion, and above ''oo of the most eminent Solici-/
tots were assembled. It must have been a proud
day for these Gentl,men to witness the effect pro-
duced by their endeavours to establish an Asso-
ciation for the relief of the fatherless children,
widows, and dependent relatives of unfortunate
professional men who might stand in need, not
only of pecuniary relief, but of what is still more
important, the patronage and recommendation of
the profession,to promote their views and interests

life,
The Secretary, Mr. CHARLES MURRAY, of
John-street, Bedford-row, teported, that since the
ectahlisement of the Association, so recently as
Joly 1817, no less than 49001. 3 per Cents had
been fonder) by the Treasurers, Mr. Kaye (ot the
firm of Kaye, Freshfiebl, and Kaye), and Mr.
Moore (of the firm of Burley and Moore), in the
joint names of the Trustees. Mr. Brooks (of the
firm of )Williams, Brooks, and Powell), Mr. Den-
nett (of the firm Of Dennett, Greaves, and Baxen-
dale), Mr, Gilbert Junes (of the firm of Jones
and Green), and Mr. Richard IVilson (of the firm
of Wilson and Chishohne), which stock bad been
purchased chiefly with the life subscriptions of 20
guineas, but including 1001. presented by the
Lord Chancellor, 1001. 3 per Cents. by Mr.
Richard Wilson, of Lincoln's Inn-fields, and
1001. 3 per Cents, by Mr. James Alexander, of
New inn. In addition to this capital the Secre-
tary also reported, that the Association has an in-
come (arising from the present annual subscrip-
tions of two guineas and the interest of the stock)
Of 7501. per annum, not withstanding one-fourth
only of the Solicitors in London have as yet be-
come members::
The CHAIRMAN, in the course of the evening,
eloquently addressed the Gentlemen present, urg-
ing them to continue. their exertions to place the
Association upon the highest ground, and speedily
to realize the 10,0001. stock, which is requir•
ed by the Rules of the Association to be funded
befote any relief can be distributed. He advert-
ed in a feeling manner to the noble benevolence
of the Lird Chancellor in very many cases, which
bad been privately and liberally exercised, al-
though the public had not given his Lordship cre-
dit for it, because the circumstances bad not been
made known ; and he allud•:11, in very expressive
terms, to the patronage and support which his
Lordship bad in the most dignified tnanner afford•
ed to this Association.
The great importance of the Lord Chancellor's
patronage to the Institution, was strongly felt by
the whole Meeting ; and they received his health
from the Chair, and drank it in a manner which
testified their high sense of his Lordship's kind-
ness, condescension, and liberality.
Before Sir James Geatiam left the Meeting; he
expressed his determination to support the Asso-
ciation by every means in his power ; hoping ow
every professional man would meet with the same
good fortnne as himself, an 4 pressing upon their'
consideration the pleasure it must give them all
to augment the funds of the Association, by (ob-
taining the accession of the profession in gene-
ral), and thereby to cheer the orphan and widow
in the hour of distress.
The benevolent objects of the Association were
particularly noticed in our Paper of the 23d ult.
and we rejoice to find that the opinion which
we then expressed of its utility is confirtned by
the patronage and support it receives from
so many eminent characters ; especially from
that most distinguished ornament of his age
and country, the Lord Chancellor. The cit -
cumstances advertad to by Sir James Gra-
barn afford strong proof that his Lordship,
whilst he is forward to promote the exercise of
judicious and provident benevolence, retains a
kind remembrance and liberal consideration of
that branch of the profession, which it will be
recollected is thefirst to discriminate and counte-
nance rising talent at the Bar, and to which even
those who have attained the highest rank and
dignities of thf: Law, must all have been more or
less indebted, for timely -encouragement in their
professional career.
The Secretary's Report of the progress of the
Institution is most gratifying.; and sincerely do
we congratulate the Legal-Profession an the result
of this their first Anniversary, considering, as w'e
do, that the LAW AsSOCIATION is tt splendid addi-
tion to- those noble and philanthropid institu-
tions, which so deservedly exalt the character of
England among the nations of the earth.

Yesterday morning an alarming fire broke out
at a tallow-chandler's shop, Limehouse, near the-I
sign of the Cape of Good Hope, which, after
miaowing the interior of the house, wns happily
plevented from doirig further damage by the time-
ly arrival of engines, and a speedy supply of
waters We do not hear how it originated.
Last night an alarming fire broke out at Mr.
NRWTOWS, pastry-cook and confectioner, East
Smithfiekl, tvinch, after consuming the interior
of the house, was prevented from doing further
ihmage, by the timely-Arrival of engitte•, and n
o,,,titul supply of water ii it was occasioned by
some shavings accidentally taking fire. •
