The ingrain is an allowance of one chaldron in addition to
every 20, by which the consumer receives 21 chaldrons whilst he
pays only for 20. This was omitted in the statement, from a doubt
how far it could be considered a tax upon the consumer, as he re-
ceived the benefit of such allowance, though it is evident he pays
for it indirectly, as he must pay an equivalent addition for each
chaldron he receives, upon the basis of the price calculated in this
table. The value of the ingrain may be taken at Is. 9d. per chal.
dron, which will enhance the sale price at the market to 21. 13s. 10cL
per chaldron. It would be a matter of no importance either to
the seller or the consumer, whether this custom is continued or
not, as the sale price would be subject to a corresponding alteration.

Despatches were sent off last night from the
Foreign-office, Downing-street, to Sir CHARLES BACOT.
Ambassador at the Hague.

ARGYLL Roo is.—The second Concert,
which took place yesterday morning at these Rooms, was
graced by a brilliant display of beauty, rank, and fashion.
The performers mostly were of the first-rate order, among
whom we may mention Mademoiselle SONTAG and her
young sister NINA, who made her second public appear-
ance on th;s occasion. This lady has a very youthful
appearance, with a voice of great promise, and exhibits
already the marks of judicious instruction. The sister
sang no less than four or fire times, aud executed " Conda
surte" in a most delightful manner. VELLurt gave an
aria, by BONFICHI, in his very best style. Altogether the
Concert was highly attractive.

A large National School is erecting close to
the north side of St. Martin's Church ; so that, instead of
the space round that noble structure being extended and
thrown open, the new buildings will be much nearer to it
than the old ones were.

MR. O'CONNELL.

The following is from the Votes and Proceedings
of the House of Commons :

DANIEL O'CoN NE 1.1., Esq. professing the Roman Catho-
lic religion, returned Knight of the Shire for the county of
Clare, being introduced in the usual manner, for the pur-
pose of taking his seat, produced at the table a certificate
of his having been swore before two of the deputies ap-
pointed by the Loan STEWARD, whereupon the clerk ten-
dered to him the oaths of allegiance, supremacy, and ab-
juration, upon which Mr. O'CoNNELL stated that he was
ready to take the oaths of allegiance and abjuration, but
that he could not take the oath of supremacy, and claimed
the privilege of being allowed to take the oath set forth in
the Act passed in the present Session of Parliament for the
relief of his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects ; whereupon
the clerk having stated the matter to Mr. SPEAKER, Mr.
SPEAKER informed Mr. O'CoNNELL that, according to his
interpretation of the law, it was incumbent on Mr.
O'CoNNELL to take the oaths of allegiance, supremacy,
and abjuration; and that the provisions of the new Act
applied only to Members returned after the commencement
of the said Act, except_ in so far as regarded the repeal of
the declaration against transubstantiation, and that Mr.
O'CoNNELL must withdraw, unless he were prepared to
take the oaths of allegiance, supremacy, and abjuration.
Whereupon ➢lr. O'CoNNELL withdrew.
