THE MARKiiIrS.

CORN-EXCHANGB, APAIL 24.—We had a good
supply of Wheat this morning from Essex and
Kent, besides a tolerably large arrival since this
day week from the Northern Poris, yet prime
samples from the two former Counties sold rea-
dily in the morning, et an advance of from Is.to

2,5. per quarter on the prices of last Monday ;
but there is no amendment in the price of tiny
other descriptions, for which the demand was
comparatively small ; prime samples of Malting
Barley sold 25.• per quarter higher than on this day
se'nnight, but the ordinary qualities were heavy
sale, and rather cheaper ; the-arrival of Oars hav-
ing been very 'considerable has Caused a decline in
that article of Is, per quarter, the supply far ex-,
ceeding the demand; in Beans and Peas there is
no alteration.

SMITHFIELD MARKET, APRIL 24.—This morning's Market
was well supplied with all kinds of prime Cattle, but in
Sheep there was rather a short supply. The prices of Beasts
'maintained last week's Markets; but Sheep was rather higher
in price than last Market-day. Button, higher in price ;
Veal, Pork, and Lamb, same as last week.—The Hay Market
lower, in consequence of the late rains ; in Straw and Clover
no alteration.

THE LAW COURTS-COMNIENCEMENT OF TERM.

DUBLIN, APHIL 20 —Yesterday being the first
Sitting day in Easter Term, the Lord Chancellor
held a Levee, as usual, atter which his Lordship
and the Judges, &c. attended by the different Of-
ficers, proceeded to the Four Courts.
Lord Nortsorot (we regret to say) was not
present, be,ing prevented by severe indi•position ;
it W3S rumoured throngli. the Courts, that his
Lordship does not intend again encountering the
fatigues attendant on the discharge of his Judicial

duties..
About three o'clock Mr. Justice DALY entered
the Court of King's Bench, and the High Sheriffs
having given in their reTective panne's, the
Juries were sworn.
Mr. Serjeant JOY then addressed the Court,
and stated, that a suns of money, amounting
to more than 16,0001., had been borrowed by the
Commissioners of %Vide Streets, the application of
which equally affected the County and City. The
interest at present due was more than 4001. and he
begged to move the Conrt to direct the two Grand
Juries to meet for the purpose of levying it. The
Learned Serjeant also informed the Court, that
the Commissioners of Wide Streets had purchased
some places in Skinner-row—that instead of bor-
rowing money from a third person, they had bor-
rowed from the \renders. His Lordship said,
there was no clause to prevent such being

the case.
Mr. GooLD begged to call the attention of the
Court to the Bill for re:nlating Elections, passed
in the last Session of Parliament, which provided,
that the expenses incurred by the Returning Offi-
cer at Elections, should be levied on the County
or City, by the Grand Jury, at the next Assizes
alter such Election ; and,begged to know if (as
there was no particular clause relating to the
County or City of Dublin, in either of .vhicb
there are not Assizes held) the Term Grand Jury
shonid be empowered to present any 50tH for a
similar purpose.
His Lordship inquired, if in the Act there was
any mention of a Presenting Term, and being an-
swered in the negative, concluded by congiatu-
lilting the Grand Juries on the fact, that the Act
in question had not the least reference to the
County or City of Dublin.
His Lordship then directed the attention of this
Juries to Mr. Serjeant Joy's Motion, avd that of
the County Jury to a sum of 272 i 135.2 d. for the
Navan Mail Coach Road, which was to be levied
on the County generally.—The Court then
ad-
journed. •

Mr. YOUNG concluded his engagement at Bath
on Saturday last, which has proved highly advan-
tageous to the treasury of the Theatze.
The First Regiment of Foot Guards appeared
yesterday, for the first time, in the new uniform,
which we described a few days since. The re-
storation of skit is to the coat, of moderate length,
is a great improveolent, and the dress on the whole
is far more becoming than that which of late years
we have been accustomed to witness, The altera-
tion will, we suppose, become general throughout
the Army,
A most beautiful meteoric ball of fire appeared
at a considerable altitude, last week, to the aouth
of Fort Pitt, at Chatham, which strongly. illumi-
nated the surrounding country, for some miles, for
several seconds, arid then dissolving into a stream
of brilliant sparks disappeared.
NEXT THURSDAY, two first drawn Prizes
20,0001. Consols each. The first drawn Prize of
20,0001. in the last Lottery, and the first drawn
20,0001. in the Lottery before, were both sold in
Shares by WEBB, whose only Office in .London is
9, Cornbill, where Tickets and Shares are now
on sale in great variety.
On Saturday, the sth inst. a party of officers
and men landed from his Majesty's cruizer the
Wellington, to assist the peace-officas of Inverary
in apprehending several people for deforeing and
maltreating the revenue officers at Loch-Awe.side.
The party, alter crossing Loch-Awe, sicceeded
in seizing and destroying a number,of distil-
lery utensils, and securing one pristine,{.; hot, on
their return to the ferry-boats, several shots were
fired at them from the people on the tops of the
hills, by which two of the officers belonging to
the Wellington were wounded. They arrived at
Greenock on Thursday, and are placed under the
care of the surgeon appointed for the sick and
wounded seamen belonging to his Majesty's ser.
vice. It is said, that the smugglers baying since,
by forcible means, got possession, at Bona w fur-
nace, of two swivel guns, hays planted them on
the heights which command the ferry, to be in
readiness against a renewal of the attack.—(Edin-
bur,;,h Courant, 4pril2o)

SLIGO COUNTY MEETING.

On lqmoley the Nth inst. there was a large
and respectable meeting its the Court-House, of
The Gentlemen. Clergy, Freeholders, and other
lelt-th 'ants of the County of Sligo, for the put-
, nowt- .of raking into consideration an Address of
Von' Wence to the KING on the death of his Royal
Fart er, and ot Congratulation to his MAJeiTY on
Arcessiou to the Throne. Wteetam PARKE,
Esti, Hest) Sheriff in the Chair.
Owen Wynne, El. mowed an Address.
111sjor Olietee seconded the motion.
CilotLES l'ineetes, BO'. then rose and spoke
to the fullowieg effect :
I am happy, Sir, in having an opportunity of
giving my concurrence both in the sentiment and
principle of the proposed Atliress. I think it
s foetid inert the most pet feet unanimity, The
deper•ed Monarch deserves, and justly, every tri-
hute which po•terity row pay hie). Fle was one
of the most popelsr Otto ever swayed the sceptre
of these countries—he never forgot his early de-
deletion, that ha gloried ie the name of Briton,
and nto.v reciprocates the sentiment, and
Omits in the pride of his netivity. Ile was, in-
deed, a trite-bons Englisionau---;brave, generous,
heneeelsnt, and manly--in the exercise of his
sway and the exercise of his virtues so perfectly
eteoistant that it is difjicult to say whether as a
nit' or Soveteige he is Hoot to be regretted.—
Ifs commeored tar the Cethelic a conciliatory sys-
tem---he preserved for the Protestant the itiviolshi
hty of the Cunoitetiou—he gave to both a wear
example in the toleration of his principles and the
inteeri.y ot his practice. The hisonian dwrll
with delight unit!) those topics. Ile will have little
to erasure and much to commend. tie will speak
ot arts, e.anufertures, lit crature enctootteed—he
will linger loeg smoeg those private virtues which
%spree herd riterwelyes noted his public station—
weich identified his domestic with his magisterial
character, and made the father of his family, the
father of his people. He will net fail to rtonetk
• how ample, and at the same thee how discrimi-
nating tViIS his patronage and he will truly say that
• it the pencil of West, directed to the sacred so-
twee by his bounty—if the old age of Johnson,'
cheered and consoled by his royal liberality, wire
to stand al Ate they would undeniably chest the
purity of his taste ;out the piety of his morals,—
Attritettes such es these, Sir, come home to the
bosom of every man amongst us—they descend
front the Do one, they tohigle with the fireside,
they command more than Majesty of teat call, nor
only the aemiration but the sympathy of mankind.
Nor may we forget, independent of his most vir-
- hums example in private life, the vast public be-
nefits, which, as a King, his roige contet red upon
the country—the liberty of the press, guaranteed,
as far as reasou can reipire it, and where restrain-
ed, only so restrained as to prevent its runnine
into liceutiousttess—the Trial by Jury rully defined
and firmly estehltshed—the ihelepehdeuce of the
Beech voiuntarilir coecedetl, which deprived the
executive of a po%veitul and possible instrineet,
and vested the rights and privileges and property
of the people in t integrity of a now tutessail-
able Tribunal. These are acts which we should
- register in our he it ts, they should canonize the
memory of the Moriarch; they made his realueth
lint mark of Eeropean hberty—they made i s
Co, stitutiou the model for European inntation•—
Let us trot either in nor estime,e of his character
forger the complexion of the times in which he
lived; times of portent and of prodigy, enough
to ruplt!sc the council of the wise, anti daunt the
valour ot the warrior—in such extremities, ex-
perience becomes an itithnealid calculation a cou-
tietosucy. Front the terrific chaos of the French
Revoletion, a Comer rose and blazed athwart out
hemisphere, too splendid not to allure, too omi-
nous not to intimidate, too rapid and too eccen-
tric for human speculation. The whole Conti-
nent bycsme abser bed in wonder—Kings and
Statesmen and Sages fell down anti worshipped,
and the volitical albs which had hitherto circled
in harmony and peace, hooded from our system
into the train of its conflaeistion. There was no
order. in politics—no consistency in morals—no
stedfastness in religion—
Vie, prevailed and impious men bore sway.
Upon the tottering throne the hydra of demo-
cracy sat grinning—upon the ruined altar a wretche
ed prostitute received devotion, and waved in
mockery the burning cross over the prostrate
niumtners of the new philosophy ! all Europe ap-
peared spell, bound—nor like a vulgar spell did it
perish in the waters. It crossed the channel.
There were not wanting in Eueland abundance
of enatchista to denounce the King, and of infi-
dels to abjure the Deity—turbuleut demagogues
who matte the abused name of freedom the pre-
tence for their own factions selfishness—Atheists
locking to be worshipped—Republicans looking
to be crowned—the nobles of the land were pro-
scribed by anticipation, and their property parti-
tioned by the disinterested patriotism of these
Agrarian Speculators. What do yott think it was

except they mean to oproof the Throne, the Altar,
arid the State. I entertain too 'l""ir chimera
of Annual Parliaments and UnivXlsal Snffrage.
I prefer a Legislature comprising the wealth,
tlre talent, and the education of the realm to a
Radical Directory of shoeless coblers, and shop_
less apothecaries. I fly for protection to my Kiog,
and for consolation to my God, from the lawless,
creedless, murderous, blasphemous banditti, who
postpone them both to the putrid carcase of an
outlawed infidel. Denounce me if you choose.
I would sooner die to•rnorrow beneath the dagger
of your hate, than live in the infectious leprosy of
your friendship. My fellow countrymen, it is
higit time to pause. Our vet y virtue by excess,
may become vices. Let us aid the aggrieved, but
let its not abet the assassin—let us tolerate the
sectarian, nor countenance the infidel—let us pro-
mulgate, if we can, an universal good, without
shakitig. the basis of our social system, or the
blessed foundation of our eternal hope. My own
sentiments, as to the most limited tolera:ion of
all sects of Christians, you are not now, for the
first time, to be'made acquainted with. I know
that many good men, and many much abler men,
dissent Irons me; and while I give them full cre-
dit on the score of sincerity, I only seek the same
concession for myself. 1 would open the gates of
coostitntional preferment to all. my fellow subjects
of every religious creed, wide as I expand to them
the affections of my own.heart. It is in my mind
but fair, that be who protects a State should re.
ceive a reciprocity of privileges—that no man
should be made familiar with its,burthens, and at
the same time he told be wrist remain a stranger
to its benefits. This is an humbte but conscien-
tious opinion, given freely, but not servilely—
• seeking to make others free, I will not submit to
become a slave myself, or compromise one par-
ticle of sdf-respect. Nay, more, Sir, though
would give, and give voluntarily, every liberal en-
franchisement, I would not withdraw one prop—
I wool(' lint deface even one useless ornament on
