Mr. MooNEr desired to state, that by-ad Pining
the Resolution, it. was not, in the most remote
Illautter, intended to imply a want of confidence
in the Earl of Dononglimore and ihe Right Hon.
Henry Grattan ; on the contrary, their invariable,
stedfast, -and powetful advocacy were yiewed with
the deepest sense of gratitude; but the present _
being a Parochial Pciition, the 'alteration had
been-made in order not to interfere with the pre-
sentation by those distinguished characters, of the
General Petition from the Catholic. Body at
large.
.
The CHAIRMAN took occasion to notice, that
yesterday (Tuesday). he had the.honour of an in-
terview will Mr. Plnttkett, who most readily con-
sented to take charge of _their PetiAon to the
House. of Commons. That distinguished Senator
rec.:yin-milk(' an early presentation of the Pcti•
tions from the Catholic Body. It was probable,
be said, that a short. adjournment would take
place ; but, it the Petitions were previously pre-
sented, their merits -might be canvassed soon after
Parliament :bad resumed its telibewions.

on the merits of the Resolutions. This Petition

The Meeting (Dabliti E. Post.)

It is a curious chetunstance, that BlSTl•should
not only Share' his own Capitals, but also sell
parts of those of other Office-keepers'; yet strange
as. it may, appear, it is nevertheless 'true, as his
Agent at Liverpool .-being short of Shares, and
there lint being sufficient time ro write In Loniloti
tor A!ore, he bought some of Mr. WEBB'S Agent,
one of which was a 20,0001. Prize in the present
,Lottery; and the Agent at Edinburgh, being also
out of Shares, bought a few, and one of those was
another Prize of 20,0001., which clearly demon•
strates that 111.14 is not only lucky. himself as an
Otlice-keeper.,: but his
.Agents are lucky also; and
we trust they will give a good account of the Six
Prizes of 20,0001 now in the Whecf, Two -of
which must be drawn in the First Five Minutes,
Next Day of Drawing, 9th of .Next Month. We
recollect_ last time there were (as' ncw) Six
20,00/. Prizes, Him sold Threeof them Act.
SHARES, and they were distributed over all parts
of die United Kingdom.
