1817? ; and again, in the evening of the same day,
several other shocks had been felt, but they do
not appear to have occasioned any damage. At a
meeting of the Court of Common Council of the
city of Kingston, Jamaica, held on the 23d March,
on a motion of Alderman ATKINsoN, seconded by
Alderman YATES, the following Resolutions were
Dr. ! unanimously agreed to :

Resolved, That the Magistrates of this city have
viewed with surprize and indignation the unconsti-
tutional aggression made upon the just rights of the
Magistrates of Trelawney.

Resolved, That although we are ready to facili-
tate every- constitutional inquiry into our conduct as
Magistrates, we cordially join in the protest of the
Custos and Magistrates of Trelawney, against the
inquisition of any Court of Commission unrecognized
by the law of the island, and proceeding upon the
letters of individuals not on oath.

We direct the attention of our readers to some
particulars connected with the inquest held on the
bodies of the rioters at Rochdale, inserted in our
columns of to-day, in the full and perfect conviction
that they will not fail to do justice to the gentle-
manly and tolerant bearing of the Coroner who
presided on that occasion.

We beg to refer our readers to a letter in our
columns, signed " Spectator," which we have ex-
tracted from a Morning Contemporary. We quite
agree with the writer that the mistake we made, was
not largely reducing the debt at the close of the war
in 1815. 'While this debt remains at its present
enormous magnitude, it paralyses our industry,
acting as a dead weight upon national as well as in-
dividual enterprise, and affects us in every relation of

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sut.,—ln The Sun of the 4th instant, a paragraph is
published from a Dublin Paper of the 29th ult., which is
another of the numerous fabrications which are daily re-
ported.
In this instance, the statement in question so deeply re-
flects upon the character of Mr. Smith Barry, at the same
time that it is any thing but creditable to myself, and being,
moreover, wholly untrue, I feel it but mere justice to that
gentleman and myself to desire you will contradict the
repert.—l am, Sir,

Your most obedient servant,
CHARLES PAGET, Rear-Admiral.
Admiralty-house, Cove of Cork, May 7, 1829.

The KING, since his arrival at St. James's
Palace, has been living in a very quiet and retired man-
ner, without any additional dinner party beyond the usual
cortege of the Court. In the domestic circle it is stated
that his MAJESTY begins to be weary of the seclusion to
which lie is subject, and the comparatively inconvenient
and confined space of his apartments at St. James's, and
that he anxious to return to Windsor. Nothing has yet
been definitively arranged in regard to the balls and din-
ners usually given by his MAJESTY at this season of the
year. By the KING'S commands, the landscape painted
by CLAUDE, purchased for his MAJESTY at CHRISTIE'S
Rooms on Saturday, was taken to him at the Palace three
days before the sale.

A considerable number of Peers and their
Ladies, with other branches of the Nobility, were ad-
mitted yesterday to a private view of the Paintings in the
Exhibition at Somerset House. The accomplished Pre-
sident of the Royal Academy was the Cicerone on the
occat ion, and he was most eloquent in his praises of vat i-
ous pictures, especially those of WILKIE, and the extraor-
dinary landscape by CaLcore. .
Sir Tnotras communi-
cated to his noble audience the fact of his MAJESTY'S hav-
ing
purchased the fine landscape
by CLauna, and the
Trustees of the Institution the paintings by Sir JOSHUA
RaYNOLDS piid GAlNsnonouan, in Lord GWYDIR'S Sale
at CHRISTIE'S on Saturday.
The unfortunate result of periods of specula-
tion is no where more apparent than in our ports. The
quantity d cotton and other goods purchased within a few
weeks, is so great as to suffice for several months' .
con-
sumption
• There is a great temporary demand for means
of transport, and great profits are made by the owners of
ships. New ships are of course built, and the trade is
overdone. A few years ago, during the adventurous
paroxysms, from 18 to 20 smacks found perfect employ-
ment between this and Liverpool, besides occasionally
other vessels. At present, the whole trade is now managed
by three or four smacks, and about the same number of
steamers. Eight fine vessels formetly trading to the Mer-
sey, now grace the south side of the Broomielaw, in a dis-
mantled state.— Glasgow Chronicle.
