A considerable quantity of Monday's supply Of Wheat re-
maimed neer for this morning's market. for which there was
little or no demand, notwithstanding the unsettled ovate of
the weather. sad Monday's prices ware with dlfficiaty ob-
tained for the finest samples ; but Red Wheat wns I. aly
unsaleable.—Oats continue Tery dull side, owing to cipera-
bundant arrivals.—ls Barley, Beams, sad PellS, there is no
alteration.

Of the cast diffusion of property throughunt France
a correct idea may be formed from the following scale,
founded on the returns made to the Oovernmei.t by the
Prefects, of electors paying the greateit share of taxes
fruit 1000 francs :--

Elector, payingabove 1000 f. to 15001. 6714
Ditto . • 1500 to 2000 2017
Ditto . . 2000 to 2500 1410
Ditto . . 1/600 to 3000 8V
Ditto . . 3000 to 4000 883
Ditto . 4000 and upwards
The amount of taxation in each instance is, generally
speaking, a fifth of the property or income. This scale
also shows of how very few, comparatively considered
with the population of the country, and even with the
electors paying $4lO francs and upwards to 1000, the
Depanuental Colleges, that are to return 172 Deputies,
must consist.
belsn CATHOLICS.—The Dr4/i* Ereseivg Post of
Saturday contains a letter from Mr. D. O'Connell,
which states that the Roman Catholic Committm ap-
pointed to consider and report a fit person to present
their Petition to Parliiment, passed a series of resolu-
tions :

" lit. That a Delegation from the Committee should welt

Mr. O'Connell adds. that • the deputation did wait
upon Mr. Plaskett, and received his written answer,
but that it is not an sfilresative tamer, or any thing
like one. as requital by the first res•lntlos. A pro-
mise was gives that Mr. Muskets's answer should sot
be wade peblie. Mr. O'Cosuell, therefore. cannot
publish what it is—he can only state what it is nut.
