Monday., after a report from the Comtnittee of
l'etitirnis, the discussion was resnmed on the
Articles of the projet respecting the Customs, and

solved itself into a Secret Committ:.e, in which
it was determine:l to hear M. NiANUEL tievelope

secret Committee on Wednesday last. Ine fol-
lowing are extracts :

4'.14t ut the Party. We repeat our siocere wishes ;

that site may pass through the 6hleal with a fepti-
tat ion fully purified,

The efnr•s which are now making► by the Ro-
man Catholics of the United Kingdom to oh:atti
a concession of ti►eir Claims, must surely be viewed
by all Protestants with great a .ention and anxiety.
If the question at issue regarded merely a (0..
leration of conflicting religious opinions, we
should be amongst the last to oppose it ; bin af-
fecting, as it does, the de:i est lights which, as
Protestants, we enjoy, we should deem ourselves
in the highest degree culpable, H.„ as public. Jour-
nalists, we did tint continue to raise our voice
against the adoption of a measure fraught with
imminent danger to Civil and Religious Liberty.
The short period which will elapse previous to
the .fiscussion of the question in Parliament, will
prevent the preparation and piesentation of those
numerous Petitions, which, on former occasions
upon the meeting of a new Poliiament, covered
the tables of both (louses against the concession.
lVe hear, however, with great pleasure that seve-
ral Petitions are in lot worthless, and that notwith,
stonditig the speedy discussion of the measure, it
will not take place entirely sub silentio on the part
of the Protestant Community. We cannot, On
the present -occasion, retrain from inserting the
following Extract from a most admirable Peti-
tion, which was drawn up by the late revered and
lamented Dean of MIDDLEHAM, to be presented
to Parliament on the behalf of a Society of Cler-
gymen against the concession of the Claims, in
the year 1812. It is extracted from Mr. STOCK.,
DALE HARDY'S Memoir of the Dean, lately pub-
lished :

?'he Petition spewed,--

" That the Legislature of these Kingdoms having, from
dire necessity, and for self preservation in former times, en-
acted serere Restrictions to prevent and control the opera:-
Coo of Romish Principles and Tenets, and the recurrence of
such evils as had resulted from them ; but having recently,
from motives. of humanity, relaxed those restrictions, in
granting the foil freedom of Religious Toleration, and
the acquisition and enjoyment of Property, heath secured
to all who are of the Communion of the Church of
Rome, not (ily the free and uninterrupted exercise
of their Religion, but also personal rights ami• civil
respectability, therefore, the Claims against which we now
petiticn, regard not Religion, but the acquisition of Tem-
poral Power and Distinction—which acquisition, few could
avail themselves of in the Communion of the Church of Rome;
a few even in our own Communion, or in any nation whatever,
cane rise to Powerand Distinction from the subordination neces-
sary in all Civil Communities; and, therefore, from motives by
no means of hostile aversion, but of Security and Preservation
to the great Protestant majority of these Realms, we du ear-
nestly implore your Honourable House to maintain inviolate,
such restrictions as the wisdom of Parliiaurnt may judge pro-
per, for the Preservation of these Realises from the influence
of Popery and arbitrary Power. so much dreaded and guarded
agaiust by the wisest, the bravest, and most homorrable of
our Ancestors."

Wc scarcely ever remember to have read a more
nervous and elegant appeal to the good sense Of
pailiament, and trust considerations timilar
to those urged above, will weigh with, and direct
our present Legislators.

CORN-EXCHANGE, MAY s.—Although there has
been hut little Wheat fresh in since Wednesday,
the trade was heavy this morning ; yet fine sam-
ples of White full supported Monday's prices, for
which description the demand was chiefly cou•
fined ; but for Red Wheat there were very few
sales made. Fine Malting Barley being scarce,
sshat few samples appeared to•day, were readily
disposed off, and such kind is full Is. per varier

day, as well as New Brans.—ln Peas and other

SMITHFIELD MARKET, MAY s.—The Market this morning
tea- hut thiulK supplied with all kind of Cattle; in conse-
quence thereof, prime Beasts are higher in price than last
market day, and the inferior sorts arc heavyin sale; Mutton,
Veal, Pork, and Lamb, are all higher in rrice than last week's
market.—The Hay Market is getting higher in price owing to
the lryness of the weather; Straw and Clover no alteration
in price.
