VOTE OF TITAN KS TO MR. O'CONNELL.

Mr. SHELL was now about to propose the last official
act of the Association. It was a vote of deep and heartfelt
_giatitude to the man, to whose unwearied exertions, perse-
vering alid indomitable patriotism the Association owed its
existence and mustainutent (vehement cheers.) I have now
said Mr. Shell to propose the thanks of the Catholic As-
sociation to its founder (long continued cheering.) To
that great man, by whose uncompromising patriotism,
shinin; talents, and ever-watchful assiduity, this body ob.
taineri an importance and political influence which have
paced the great question of Irish freedom in the high and
commanding attitude wh:eh it at present occupies.

The cheering, Waving of hats and handkerchiefs, eon.
tintied for several minutes.
It NV.li quite unnecessary to put the motion, for the
entering of the wetting; echoed by the Inultitudo without,

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 16, 1829.

The contents of the French Papers relate chiefly
to the affairs of the East, but they furnish no new
facts. The SULTAN is paying the utmost attention
to his fleet, which is daily augmenting its streagth.
He hopes shortly to be Ale to organise a force strong
enough to cope with the Russians in the Black Sea,
but this is very doubtful. The Russians last year
sent down some large vessels, which are equip-
ping with expedition, to reinforce the fleet in the
Black Sea, so soon as the state of the weather will
permit a safe navigation. The object of M. JAU-
BERT'S mission at Constantinople seems to be as
distant of attainment as ever.

One of the French Papers, in remarking upon the
question of Catholic Emancipation being taken up
by the Government, observes that England will
henceforth he united, and as such, that her character
will be more respected because her power will be con-
solidated. That France ought to take a lesson by such
a good an 4 conciliatory example which prevents
foreign war by appeasing civil discord. There can
be no doubt, while Ireland was so aiscontentei, that
the Government of this country failed to Make the
Prier impression abroad, because Foreign Powers
counted so far on the weakness of England in con-
sequence of the distracted state of Ireland requiring
a large portion of her military force. But hence-
forth their tone will be changed. When Emanci-
pation is once granted, the simple expression of
England's displeasure will go much farther than her
strongest remonstrance now.

Lisbon Gazettes to the 31st January have come
to hand. The only thing they mention is, that Don
MIGuEL and his sisters passed through the capital,
in state, to the splendid Church of St. Mary, where
Te Dcunz was performed for " his MAJESTY'S "
happy recovery. The rabble shouted—and in the
evening the windows were illuminated.
This is the " official " account of his proceedings,
but the private letters reiterate all the previous ac-
counts of his malicious conduct. His mother and
himself quarrel desperately upon the state of affairs
—the Don complaining that by following her coun-
sels he got into his present dilemma—and she re-
torting-, that his only error consists in not having N-
lowed all her suggestions to the letter—by cutting off
heads as well as confiscating property. Happy pair

A mail from Flanders has been received, but its
contents from Constantinople are nearly as uninte-
resting as its advices from Batavia, detailing the
usual reverses of the Dutch troops in that unhealthy
quarter.

German Papers of the 9th inst. have been re-
ceived. The news from St. Petersburgh sounds
more Ivarlike than ever. Not only is the whole
army in motion, hut the greatest activity prevails in
the Dock-yards. On the other hand, the accounts
from Constantinople arc said to be pacific, but we
have been so often amused with similar rumours that
little confidence ought to be placed in them. The
following are extracts :
ST. PETERSBURGII, JAN. 20.

The preparations for the next campaign are immense,
and the whole army is in motion. His Majesty will com-
mand it in person, and will probably soon leave St. Peters.
burgh to review the several corps : he will also go to War-
saw before the opening of the campaign, to renew the oath
of allegiance. Great activity is observed in our docks,
and a convention is spoken of which our Government
thinks of concluding with the United States of North Ame-
rica. All that has been said of a lean abroad is false, various
propos ils have indeed been made to our Government, but
they have been rejected by M. Cancrin, who is averse to such
operations. The Emperor has already assigned the funds
required for the war. As soon as the Emperor sets out
for Poland, the Polish army will be drawn together to be
reviewed by his Alajesty.
VIENNA, FEB. 2.

We are here very anxious for the next arrivals from
Constantinople, because a decisive answer iv expected to
he given by the Porte to the declaration of the Allied
Powers.
A criminal confined in the Louse of correction in this
city, pretends to have discovured a mode of making sugar
out of bay. It is well known that all vegetables
contain more or less saccharine matter, but the discoverer
maintains, that it is so abundant in hay, that a pound
of sugar may be obtained by a simple process from six
pounds of hay. It is said that the Government, which
liberally supports all useful discoveries, will pay particular
attention to this one.

FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, JAN. 23.

The accounts from Constantinople are very pacific :
hopes are entertained there that the Allied Powers will
come to an agreement with the Porte respecting the affairs
at Greece. The Divan is said to have declared its willing-
ness to agree to an exchange of prisoreis, as j,copo•ed by
Rtciala, vu matlitiou that Jussuf Dacha thud his attundants

shall be delivered up. The Sultan continues meantime to
prestctite the military preparations with the greatest
krdoun lie has formed a new corps of cavalry, which is
to compose the flower of his body guard. Nothing was
known from the army, except that it had gone into winter
quarters in the plain of Atiiianople. _ _

FRIDI THE FRO2iTIER§ OF SERVIA, JAN. 26.

Letters of the 10th from Constantinople, received at
Belgrade, mentions that M. Jaubett had had several con-
ferences With the Reis Effendi, and appeared to hope that
his mission would be successful. Since then an English
courier has arrived at the lazaretto on the frontier, who is
said to have left Constantinople on the 13th, and probably
brings the particulars of the progress of those negotia-
tions. The next post from Turkey will, we hope, bring
die details.

VIENNA, FEB. 011; Bank Shares,
1,104,

Gibraltar Chronicles, of the 26th ult., have been
received. Under date of the 24th, a Proclamation
of the Lieutenant-Governor has been issued, order-
ing, in conformity with orders transmitted by Sir
G. Muutuv, the formation of a Board of Officers to
enquire into the origin of the disorder that has af-
flicted that garrison, and for which purpose the fol-
lowing have been appointed—viz., the Supei in-
tendant-Genciral of Quarantine, Deputy Judge-Ad-
vocate, Principal Medical Officer, Town-Major, Go-
vernor-Secretary, Captain of the Port, and Dr:
BARRY. An additional Board has also been formed,
at the head of which is De. PYIU, who is instructed
to call on the Medical Gentlemen sent by order of
the French Government, and even any other of the
Medical Profession, in order to consult whether the
fever has teen of a description to subject the patient
to a second amok or not, after having gone through
it once.

Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyds,
dated Constantinople, Jun. 10:

" The Margaret, —, with a cargo of wheat from
Alexandria, on arriving at the Dardanelles on the 25th
ult. was detaintd three days by the blockading squadron,
whilst orders were obtained from the Admiral at Poros,
and which being 'that all vessels that might have left a
Mediterranean port before the 30th ult. were free to enter
the Dardanelles, whatever might be their cargo,' and the
Margaret having quitted Alexandria on the 3d of Dec.
she was warned not to attempt entering, and has since
arrived at Smyrna."

The Catholic Association has followed the advice
of the Friends of Ireland by dissolving itelf on
Thursday last. Several speeches were made on the
occasion, and there were only eight or ten young
men who seemed averse to the proceeding, simply,
we understand, because it would deprive them of a
fitting opportunity for exercising their oratorical
abilities, by making impassioned speeches. A letter
from Mr. O'CONNELL, was read, in which the Member
for Clare did not seem to advise either way, but
simply left the Association to judge for itself.
The Association declared itself dissolved for ever—
and concluded the sitting by giving Once cheers for
DANIEL O'CONNELL, Esq., and the Marquis of
ANGLE:SEA.

By extracts which will be found in The San of
this day, from the Provincial Journals, it will be
seen that tie greatest portion of the public press is
decidedly favourable to the views of his MAJESTY'S
Government on the que,tion of Catholic Eman-
cipation. Now, as the public press must be allowed to
represent public opinion, it follows that the majority
of the public is favourable to the proposed change
—a change which will produce the happy concilia-
tion of all classes of his MAJESTY'S subjects: The
intolerants may raise the hue and cry of "No
Popery," but their day is gone by.

'The rabble meeting at the Crown and Anchor,
the preliminary proceedings of which we gave on
Saturday, is really too contemptible for serious
comment. Two mourning Papers, which arc now
most happily for the country on the wrong side
of. the question, term the Meeting " a very
numerous and highly respectable " affair—and
an Evening Paper of Saturday, beholding the
rabble rout through the fog of Fleet-street, called it
—a great Protestant Meeting ! Really we enter-
tain too sincere a respect for our Protestant
brethren to say another word upon so libellous
an assertion. The Star of Ascendancy has set in
the West, and the standard of revolt will soon follow
its example i the East. Poor Maniacs !—we could
almost pity their distress, did not their ridiculous
folly excite our merriment and contempt. They
could eat Mr. PEEL in the excess of their wrath,
but for their fear of the Duke. Let them whistle
" Over the Water to Charley !"—it may relieve
their bitterness of soul.

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE o' CLOCK:

Consols dosed on Saturday at 86A 11, but were done
after the hours of business at Stijl- e ; this morning their aN
pearaace was heavy, and the first price marked WAS ti 64
became sellers at 86i, and were done at 8641 ; the market
has since rallied a little, and they are now 86A, buyers, and
86 4 for the April account. India Bonds have declined
full 10s. per cent. in the premium, and the stock has also
gone down front 234 5 to 23,0; an opinion seems to have
got abroad that there will he some difficulty in procuring a
renewal of the Charter ; Exchequer Bills are 5S 60 Pm.
The business in the Foreign Funds has drooped into so
insignificant a state as to leave little but the prices to be
given ; Russian Bonds hear a high figure, indeed much more
so than it is considered they ought under all the circum-
stances; they are in powerful hands, and but little of the stock
in this country ; but if this Government continues to be at
war fresh loans and advances for this purpose may have an
unfortunate effect on the price of the Bonds. Danish are

THE BENCHERS OF LINCOLN'S INN, AND
THE PARisu OF Sr. ANDREW, IIOL[3OILN•-A Petty Ses-
sions was held on Saturday at the Workhouse, in Little
Gray's Inn-hue, when a long-contested question between
the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, and the Benchers of
Lincoln's Inn, relative to the liability of the latter to con-
tribute to the maintenance of the poor of the parishes of St.
Andrew, Holborn, and St. George-the-Martyr, was settled,
upon the Benchers and other occupiers of chambers in
Lincoln's Inn, agreeing to pay to the parish 2,5031., and to
defray the expences of obtaining an Act of Parlimnent to
enable the parish to accept a composition of 1,0001. in lieu
of parish rates.
FALL IN THE PRICE OF COALS.--A
considerable reduction has just taken place in the price of
coals brought to this city. The Union Canal Lad been
shut fur upwards of a fortnight by time late severe frost,
and so soon as the communication was cleared by the thaw,
the price of coals brought from all the Duke of Hamilton's
pits, which form a very considerable part of our supply
of this necessary article, was reduced to ten shillings per
ton, delivered in town. This will, of course, effect a like
reduction on the coal brought from other places, and strik-
ingly illustrates the benefit which our fellow-citizens derive

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord MANNERS, and Vis-
count GODERICH, SRI upon Appeals to-day.

LORD GRAVES V. FISHER,.

Upon this appeal being called on, Counsel stated that
Mr. Martin, who led the case, was labouring under severe
illness, in consequence -of which they were instructed to
ask that the matter might stand Over for a few days. It
was likewise necessary to have certain documents front
Exeter, which were not yet arrived.

The Appeal was ordered to stand over for ten days.
BLAKNEY b. BAGGOTT.

This was an appeal from the decision of Lord Manners,
when Chancellor of Ireland. A bill was tiled in the Court
of Chancery, in that kingdom, fur the specific'performance
of an agreement and lease, entered into under a very ancient
document. Lord Manners was of opinion that, taking all
the circumstances of the. case into consideration, the par-
ties were not entitled to any equitable relief, and dismissed
the bill ; from thatdecision the parties appealel. The ease
involved several questions of conreyaEicing, but the facts
were of no public importance.
Mr. SUGDEN and Mr. PErrs were for the appellants,
and Mr. HoaNE and Mr. B►.xGH for the respondents.
Mr. SUGDEX was speaking when we left.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
LA CHAUMONT V. BANK OF ENGLAND.

In this case Sir J. SCARLET? showed cause against a
rule obtained by Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET praying for a
new trial or authority to enter a nonsuit against the plain-
tiff, who had obtained a verdict against the defendant.
The action arose out of a robbery of a person of two
5001. and one 501. Bank of England notes. The numbers
were stopped at the Bank, and one of the 5001. notes was
presented by the plaintiff and stopped, the Bank refusing to
give cash for it. It was traced to Messrs. Odier and Co.
bullion.snerchants, Paris, who had received it in payment
from another bullion-merchant, who stated that he had
given value for it to an English gentleman, hut had not
taken his address, as addresses given under such circum-
stances were generally false ones.
Sir J. SCARLETT now contended, that Messrs. Odier
and Co., having given consideration for the note, were en-
titled to recover, and that the verdict ought not to be
disturbed. •

Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET, in reply, contended that
evidence should be adduced of the consideration given by
the first bullion-dealer who had passed it to Messrs. Odier
and Co. If this verdict was allowed to stand, it would open a
road for the "disposal of all stolen notes, as a person only
had to send them to Paris, they would be returned to this
country for a consideration, and the payers would be able
to recover the value.

Lord TENTERDEN considered that a new trial ought to
tie allowed, and made the rule absolute.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

These Sessions commenced this morning, before F.
Corse, Esq., and a full Bench of Magistrates.
Jcssop, R. Edwards, and G. Chandler, were in-
dicted for assaulting Charles Wyatt, a Bow-street Patrol.
The defendants were fighting about a fare, and on the offi-
cer interfering., he got severely assaulted. The Jury found
the prisoners Guilty, and they were sentenced to be im-
pri•oued ten days in the House of Correction.
Mr. John Haggart, who was convicted of a nuisance
as the December Sessions, was brought up for judg-
ment. The defendant said it was impossible he could
abate it ; if he did, it would completely destroy his trade.
CuainmAN.—We cannot help that; the whole neigh-
hiurhood are not to be annoyed on that account; the
case may stand over until next Sessions, and if the nui-
sance is not abated by that time, the Court will take such
steps that will enforce it.

Several other eases of petty assaults were disposed of i❑
the course of the morning.

During the past week the ItoYAL MENA-
GF;UU, EXETER. 'CIL% NGE, has been daily thronged with
visitors, and at the feeding time it was almost inaccessible,
every one seeming desirous to behold this unrivalled esta-
blishment. As the time approaches when it must be
pulled down, we trust that Parents and Guardians will
not suffer the opportunity to pass without permitting the
younger branches to inspect this truly suberb collection,
which in after years will be talked of with admiration and
regret.

MED.—At Brussels, on the 9th mst, Lady,
the wife of Sir John ltousselet Whitefoord, after a month's
painful confinement, in consequence of severe injury re-
ceived from her clothes accidentally taking fire. The loss
of this most exemplary lady is not alone irreparable to her
widowed partner and sorrowing- children, but will be long
and deeply felt in those circles, both at home and abroad,
of which she was, for so rimy years, the ornament and
delight. The constancy and fortitude with which she en-
dured the protracted and excruciating sufferings which ter-
minated her earthly career have best illustrated the efficacy
of those Christian principles, in the practice of which she
was ever distinguished ; awl if genuine piety, the ample
discharge of every conjugal and maternal duty, combined
with the purest benevolence towards her fellow-creatures,
can consecrate departed worth, her memory and example
will long survive in the affectionate recollection of all who
had the happiness to know her, and who now unite to de-
plore the melancholy event which has thus suddenly
snatched her from her afflicted family and friends.

BRUNSWICK MEETING.-01-1 Saturday "the
thing" called the Protestant meeting was attempted to be
held in the field adjoining, Tyrone-house, in Marlborough-
street. The situation was particularly well chosen, for it
was directly opposite that building celebrated in Irish his-
tory, 00(1 ]crown in the annals of cruelty and torture by
the name of " Beresford's Riding-house." The pretence
for holding the meeting in the open air was, that the 1111•••
tunth would not be large enough for persons claiming ad-
mission ; while, in fact, there Was not at the utmost at one
time more than eight hundred persons on the ground,—
Dublin Morning Register.
SPITALFIELDS SUBSCRIPTION.-On Sun-
day morning, the 15th inst., a sermon was preached at St.
John's Chapel, Bethnal Green, by the Rev. Wm. Stone,
in aid of this fund. The Reverend Gentleman took his
text from the 2d chapter of St. James, 15th and 16th verse,
and delivered from thence a most affecting and powerful
appeal to his congregation in support of the objects of this
subscription, the result of which was a collection of ❑p-
wards of 33/., and we trust this laudable example will be
followed by the ministers of religion, both in the neigh-
bourhood as well as other parts of the metropolis. The
distresses of this district cuntinuea unabated and most ap-
palling.

MOST ATROCIOUS MURDER.--011 the
night of Sunday last, a murder W7IS committed in the vici-
nity:of Dunmanway, under the following circumstances. A
person of the name of Wren, son to a respectable fat mu,
echo had married a daughter of one of his father's labourers
smite time since, conceiving a dislike to his wife, parted
from her, and the woman had gone to service in a
gentleman's family in that country. On Sunday night
above-mentioned, this Wren came to the house where his
wife was at service, and having called her out, under
pretence of making arrangements for their coining to
live together again, he decoyed her sonic yards into a
les
blunderbuss, and left her as lie thought dead ! but the un-
fortunate in a short time recovered strength enough
tneraowmle womantolt er of the ground, and then shot her with a
master's
house, and having sent for Daniel
Conner, Esq. of Manch, the next Magistrate, and having
taken the woman's deposition before her death, he instantly
despatched a party, who succeeded in apprehending the
ruffian as he had just gone to bed, and they also took the
blunderbuss in the room which appeared to be recently
fired off. An inquest was held by F. Baldwin, Esq. Co-
roner, and a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against him was
returned. The culprit has been committed to the county
gaol fvr trial At the ovxt Conotituaun.

MANCHESMR CORN MARKET.—Feb.I4.
The Corn trade remains in the saute gloomy state it has
done for weeks past, with but little prospect of amendment,
having a great part of the labouring class here Out of em-
ployment, with the scarcity of money and general opinion
of lower prices soueding front every quarter, that to-day
it was difficult to sell Wheat even at a reduction of 4d. per
bushel ; grinding Barley is 2d. per 601 h. cheaper ; and
Oats from Id. to Id. per bushel below last week ; boiling
Pease remain languid ; and Beans are difficult to quit at
the quotations. The article of Malt is seriously affected in
this quarter by the contracted consumption ; and to-day it
was offered Is. per load lower ; Flour could not be pushed
off even at 2s. per sack below this day week; Oatmeal is
Is. per lead lower.
