JESUI TS.

(From the Freeman's Journal, March 24.)

We are gratified at being able to announce that
the Duke of Leinster, Lord Cloncurry, and nume-
rous others of the Nobility and Gentry of the county
of Kildare, including a great portion of the Magi-
stracy, have come forward in the most lendable mau-
-1 ner to testify their convictions not merely of the
harmlessness, but of the high deserts of the Irish
Jesuits, as loyal British subjects arid scholars. This
testimony, considering the opportunities nhich the
Kildare Gentry have had of forming a well-consi-
dered estimate of the characters of the portion of
this most maligned of bodies, in their neighbour-
hood, will, we trust, make a proper impression on
the Noble Lords, to whom it will be submitted.
Indeed, the only crime of which we (were the pro-
vince of prosecutor assigned to us, with every
earthly inducement to make our declaration as
lengthy as possible) could hope to convict the Rev.
Gentlemen of Castle-Browne, is the crime of teach-
ing the Greek, Latin, and other learned languages,
in a waychthat half the schools of this country (and
we unhesitatingly include institutions of a higher
order), were they clubbed together, could not
teach those languages. The Jesuits hare bene-
fitted the world to an extent compared with
which the services of other Societies of Ecclesias-
tics are as a mole-hill to Mount Pelion ; and yet the
world is a conspirator against the peace, against the
liberties, against the existence of the Jesuits. Their
ambition has been to benefit mankind ; and yet '
mankind has become the fierce and thankless beagle,
to worry and hunt down their benefactors. It is
most creditable to the Nobility and Gentry of the
cou►►ty of Kildare that they have thus interposed their
honourable and unsolicited evidence, between the
Jesuits in Ireland and their accusers.--Whatever
may be the effect of such evidence, as regards an
alteration of the Catholic Relief Bill in their favour,
it repels the stigma with which that Bill would
most unfortunately and ungraciously brand the Gen-
tlemen of Castle-Browne. Next to so exalted a vin-
dication of one of the best regulated Literary Estab-
lishments in this country, the resolutions of the
young gentlemen who met at Hayes's, published in
the Freeman's Journal of yesterday, may be re-
curred to, as opportune and valuable. These show
that while the youths, educated by the Irish Jo,
suits, have felt it their duty to become the publ►c
witnesses of the loyalty and blamelessness of their
instructors, their training had been such as could af-
ford a security for the temper and dignity of their
proceedings.
We cannot close this article, without applying
much of its contents to the restrictions which the
Catholic Relief Bill imposes upon the still more
numerous and no less deserving body of regular
Clergymen. The Jesuits are the teachers of the
higher classes of Roman Catholics, but the Monks
and Friars are those to whom thousands of the poor
are indebted for their culture. The Bill as affecting
both is a most uncalled for invasion of liberty of con,
science ; but it is rather as a social ill than as a mess
sure tyrannotts in principle, that we deprecate this
portion of its enactments, There is not in the Ro-
man Catholic Church a fraternity more pious, more
useful, more favourably dispo-;ed towards the Go•
vernment, or more gratefully impressed with the
healing parts of the Relief Bill, than the inmates of
the Monastic Institutions of this city. It is difficult
to decide either as to the mode of remedy which
should be adopted, or as to the reasonableness of
any hope from au remedy that will not originate
from the Legislature itself: We need not state that
if any thing feasible be proposed, it shall meet with
our warmest support.

The following is a copy of the petition adopted
at Coe Public Meeting, at Hayes's Tavern, on the
22din4tant';--:-

ei To the flight Honourable the Lords Spiritual and
Temporal in Parliament assembled,
The humble Petition of the undersigne4 persona, at
pFesc,,t in the City of Dublin, who have been educated
at thl. College of Vongowes Wood, in the County 9f
Kildare,
" Humbly Sl:eweth,

That whilst your petitioners participate in the general
feelings of gratitude to the Legislature at the cheering
1,,,21.;;:c.t of the measure now in progress for the relief of
oubjectsy they cannot hut
deeply lament that it should be accompanied by ettactmeWs
peculiarly injurious and degrading to that exemplary body
usually known in this country by ,the name. of Jesuits, from
wtioni your iy.ti',ipners have received their education, and

tig-i-ners
feel
impera-
tively called on by the voice of hteneolurad
themselves
6tc-t4;., ;ha: the principles of every Christian
of justice
tice so_
virtue, respect' for the. laWs, fidelity to tile sovereign, i!tl4
attachment to the British Ct,nstitution, have beep assi-
,iunusly instilled into the minds of the pupils of that esta-
bli""tht' opt only ity bFt by ex4mple i that

political discussions were discountenanced—forbearance and
brotherly love towards all their fellow-subjects zealously in-
culcated, such an undeviating line of exemplary moral and
social conduct pursued, as to have conciliated the esteem,
respect, and good wishes of all persons of eve-y religious
creed, within the county in which that seminary is situated.
" Your petitioners humbly submit, that to sanction the
proposed penal enactments against such men, would be to
inflict a punishment without a cr;me ; thus tarnishing the
pages of British legi.dution, and clouding the bright pros_
pects of universal conciliation now opining on the country.
" Your petitioners, therefore, entreat your Right
Honourable House not to introduce measures of such un-
warranted and unnecessary severity into an Act so noble
and so generous—mn Act which your petitioners feel confi-
dently assured will thus for ever extinguish political and
religious discord, and assemble the affections of grateful
millions around the British throne.

" And your petitioners will ever pray, &c."

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR—There have been few good Sugars offering for some
weeks past, the Market has in consequence a heavy andlanguid
appearance; but we have no doubt when adequate supplies of
new Sugars come forward they will meet an immediate and ex-
tensive demand. The few parcels of new Demerara this week
were sold immediately on the samples being exposed, and at full
prices. The estimate of the purchases this week are however
only 1,500 hhds. and tierces. The Refined Market has been heavy
all the week ; some parcels of ord. Lumps have been sold 6d.
under our quoted currency, but the sales are not on an exten-
sive scale. The purchases of fine for the home trade continue in-
considerable. Crushed for the Mediterranean has been offered
Is. a 2s. under the prices of the preceding week. Molasses un-
varied. There is not the slightest alteration in the Refined
Market this afternoon.

•
FOREIGN SUGARS.—The only sale this week by private
contract is about 600 chests good white Havannah at 455. On
Tuesday a large sale of Havannah washed Sugars took place ; they
sold at price 2s. a 4s. lower than the previous nominal prices ;
strong good yellow 28s. 6d. a 30s. fine white 435. 6d.
EAST INDIA SUGARS.—In Mauritius or East India Sugars
there are no sales worth reporting.
WEST INDIA MOLASSES.—SeveraI sales of Demerara Mo-
lasses are reported at 215., 21s. 6d., and 225., chiefly at the latter;
one sale at 225. 6d.

COFFEE.—There was a revival in the demand for Coffee yes-
terday, on the arrival of the foreign mails; the accounts from
Flanders were very favourable for Coffee. fhe public sale this
forenoon consisted of IVO casks Jamaica Coffee, chiefly fine ord.
to mid. ; the fine ord. sold at 425. a 425. 6c1., fine ord. 465. a 475.,
mid. 525. a 525. 6d.; the whole went off 2s. lower. There have
been no purchases by private contract. 395. is refused for fine
ord. Brazil.

RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The demand for Rum
has continued, but the sales are not so extensive as on the preced-
ing week ; some parcels of Leewards, proofs to four over, are re-
ported to be sold free on board, also a few Jamaicas for the home
trade. In Brandy there is no alteration. Some parcels of Geneva
are reported fully Id. per gallon lower.
HEMP, FLAX, and TALLOW.—The Tallow Market conti-
nues heavy and declining. Hemp and Flax are without variation.
SALTPETRE.—SaItpetre is in less demand ; there is no altera_
tion in the prices.
OlLS.—There is littlealteration in Oils. By public sale this
forenoon 66 tuns Sperm, first lots 741. ; the prices then advanced
to 751. and 751. 10s.—taken in.

RlCE.—Rice is neglected.
INDlGO.—lndigo remains without variation. There are no
purchases of any extent to report.
SAFFLOWER—By public sale on Tuesday 94 bales East India
Safflower, a fair parcel, sold 41. 17s. M. a 71. ; two-thirds taken for
export.
COTTON.—The demand for Cotton is not so general and ex-
tensive as in the preceding week. The purchases for the week
ending last night, consist of 1,100 Surat at 3%d. a sd. ; 300 Bengal
at B%d. a 4%d. ;MO Bowed at 5%d. a Gd. All in Bond.
SPICES—The purchases lately are confined to some parcels of
Pepper at low rates, and some inconsiderable sales of Nutmegs,
Mace, &c., for Canada. Pimento continues in demand, good qua_
lity Bd. a 8%,d.
IRISH PROVISIONS.—The Provision Market remains in a
very languid and depressed state. The sales of Beef and Pork are
inconsiderable. The Butter trade is in such a depressed state that
large parcels have been re-shipped for Ireland and Germany.
Bacon dull.

FRUIT. —A parcel of fine new Patras Currants in butts and
caroteels just arrived, has been divided at 865., but in other de.
scriptions there is scarcely any thing doing.
TEA.—Some parcels of former sales (Congous) have been forced
on the Market, but it has had no effect on the new sales, which
continue in some demand, at our last quoted advance. Boheas
have been sold at cost prices.
SILK—The trade being so bad, it is probable that Silk may be
had at 6cL to Is. lower.
