ENGLISH C A CHOLICS.

The following is a copy of the Petition of the
English Catholics, which was presented to his
MAJESTY, at the Levee on Wednesday, by his
Grace the Doke of Norfolk :
TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE UNDERSIGNED PERSONS

PROFESSING TILE ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIGION IN GREAT

Bill FAIN,

SHEWETH—That your Petitioners approach your Majesty's
presence, ever entertaining the deepest gratitude for the be-
nefits conferred upon them by the Acts passed for their relief
during the benevolent Reign of your 'Majesty's Royal Father,
their late lamented Sovereign.

That there are, however, several penal and disabling Laws
still in force against them, which are alike injurious to their
particular interests, and prejudicial to the general welfare of
the Slate. They impose upon your Petitioners the same in-
capacities with which the Law visits convicted guilt—they
encourage popular prejudices—they perpetuate religious dis-
sentious--and they prevent that general concord in :he Em-
pire so essential to its happiness, prosperity, and indepen-
dence.

That though your Petitioners arc marked out as persons
unworthy of public trust, yet they yield to ❑o class of their
fellow-subjects in affectionate loyalty to your Majesty, in
dutiful submission to the laws, in attachment to the liberties,
and zeal for the honour of their country. They have been
accused of giving to a Foreign Potentate part of that alle-
giance which they owe to your Majesty's sacred Person and
Government; but they have repeatedly denied the charge,
and they beg leave, at the foot of your Majesty's Throne,
again most solemnly to deny it.

They hare lately joined, with heart and voice, in proclaim-
ing your Majesty their liege Lord and Sovereign. To your
Majesty they swear full and undivided allegiance: in your
Majesty alone they recognize the power of the Civil SWord
within this Realm of England. They acknowledge in no
Foreign Prince, Prelate, State, or Potentate, any power or
authority to use the same, within the said Realm, in any
matter or cause whatever, whether civil, spiritual, or eccle-
siastical.

With these sentiments your Petitioners throw themselves
upon your Majesty's wisdom, liberality, and justice. They
humbly pray, if it shall seem meet to your Royal judgment
so to do, that your Majesty may be graciously pleased to re-
commend their case to the favourable consideration of Par-
liament. And they beseech Almighty God, by whom Kings
du reign, to bless your Majesiy with long and happy years to
rule over them.

TIIE MARKE rs.

CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 9.—Our snpplies con-
tinue abundant, but the demand being very in-
adequate to the arrivals, the sales are extremely
heavy ; a few samples of prime White Wheat ob-
tained Monday's prices, but there were no buyers
for any other qualities, although offered lull 2s.
per quarter under last Monday's prices ; Oats
are 2s. per quarter cheaper, in consequence of im-
mense arrivals; in Barley there is little doing,
and prices nominal; Beans and Peas remain as
on Monday.
SMITHFIELD MARKET, JUNE 9.—There was
middling supply of all kinds of Cattle at Market
this morning, and the prices remain much the
same as on Monday.—No alteration in the prices
of Hay, Straw, or Clover.

VAUXHALL.—These beautiful Gardens re-open-
ed on \Veduesday evening, and despite of the un-
favourable look of the weather, a very numerous
assemblage graced them, enticed by the excellent
bill of fare.

The Honourable and Reverend GEORGB PEE,
La w, second 'son of Admiral Viscount EXMOUTH,
is about to lead to the Hymeneal Altar, the se-
cond daughter of Lord Viscount SID.MOUTH.

AN ExTRAoEDINAEY ARRIVAL.—The day her
Majesty the Queen of England arrived in Lon-
don, a most curious Infant Elephant, about three
feet high, seven months old, was added to the
splendid Collection at the•Roysil Menagerie, Exe-
ter 'Change. It was brought over to this coun-
try from India in one of the East India Com-
pany's ships, and is so perfectly docile in its dis-
position, that on Isis passage he was the play-
mate of a number of children, who came over in
the same vessel. -He bas already commenced a
warm attachment to the young man, his keeper,
and evinces the greatest anxiety if he attempts to
stir from him, insomuch, he is obliged to sleep
with him to keep bins quiet ; nothing can exceed
the contrast between it and time enormous one
that has been there so many years.
LEICESTER HUNT,—Mr. D. whose stud now
is the boast of the county, having experienced a
great mortality among his horses, in the year
1813, wrote to a friend in London, in conse-
quence of a dream that he said Was " singing in
his ears," to buy for him a Lottery Ticket. "and
concluded with—" be sure you choose a Thirty
Thousand, as I want to reinstate my stud." His
friend obeyed the order, and wrote him, " as
the dream was singing in his ears," be judged
it right to go to CaustoLL's for the Ticket, and
it was actuaily drawn toe next week a Prize of
30,0001.!

On Tuesday, the Rev. Robert Hurrel Fronde,
M. A. Rector of DArtington, in Devon, was
collated to the Archdeaconry of Totnes, conferred
hitn by the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, void
by the death of the late Venerable Ralph name,.

T H I.: QUEEN;

(From the Morning Papers.)

South Audley-street was again crowded througia-
out the whole of yesterday, and a great number
of persons left their cards at the residence of Her
MAJESTY. Her MAJESTY rose early ; and, as on
the preceding day, was engaged for several hours
in writing. She afterwards gave audience to her
Attorney and Solicitor-General, and had several
consultations with them in the course of the day.
The balconies of all the houses in the neigh-
bourhood were crowded with Ladies, and Audley-
square closely filled with carriages all crowded
with company, who waited many hours with in-
finite patience in the hope of seeing the Queen.
A great number of the carriages of the nobility
and others were continually driving backwards
and forwards through the street, apparently. with
the same object, and among the persons on foot
were observed many of the first distinction. There
was, as usual, a rabble of about a hundred halt
grown lads amusing themselves, and certain idle
byestanders, with pushing each other about, and
enforcing the taking off of hats.
After it was dark many depredations were com-
mitted in the neighbouring streets both last night
and the one preceding. In Curzon-street there is
scarcely a house but had some of its windows
broken; and many others shared the same fate
in different parts of the town. About twelve
o'clock on Wednesday night a crowd of some
hundreds assembled in St. James's-square,
and several stones were thrown at Lord
Castlereagh's house, and the Duke of Nor-
thumberland's ; but a party of the Life Guards
being called out, they instantly dispersed. A few
of the stragglers rallied in Leicester-square and
many windows were demolished, in Saville House
particularly; but several of the rioters having
been taken into custody by the watchmen, the
tut'nult gradually subsided. The same riotous dis-
posiiion was manifested last night ; and in conse-
quence some partial illuminations took place.
Her Majesty was visited yesterday morning by
Messrs. Brougham and Denman, and Mr. Alder-
man Wood. Mr. Bennet also called to leave his
name.

Her Majesty invited the family of Alderman
Worn! to dinner on Wednesday.
Alderma❑ Wood, it is stated, is already em-
ployed in preparing fora Common Hall to address
the Queen.

On Tuesday, numbers of idly curious persons
called out, at intervals, "'The Queen ! the Queen !''
with the hope of inducing her Majesty to show
herself at the windows ; but in this they were to-
tally disappointed. This scene continued till nearly
four o'clock, when Mr. Alderman Wood appeared
upon the balcony. He was instantly greeted with
loud cheers, and, silence having been at length ob-
tained, be addressed the crowd nearly as follows:
" Fellow-Countrymen,—l Stave to address a few words to
you on behalf of her Majesty.—(Cheers.)—You must all be
aware, that after the fatiguing journey she has undergone,
travelling almost night and day for so long a time, she has
much need of repose—(Cheers, God save the Queen, &c.) I
am commanded, moreover, to express to you her Nlajesty's
intention not to appear in public pending the discussion of
her affairs. Her Majesty. has learned, with deep regret, that
some persons have been insulted in passing her present resi-
dence, and that windows have been broken by individuals
affecting to be her friends.—(Sha►a►e, shame ! and cheering.)
—She trusts such conduct will not be repeated ; and
am commanded to say that it is her express desire that you
will, as good citizens, retire peaceably to your homes imme-
diately.'

The Alderman then bowed and withdrew.
