sailed ON the I4th Feb. bringing London papers OF

This arrival furnishes nothing from the Continent
later than what we gave yesterday by the Cicmatis

FLOUR, says the Liverpool Price Current OF the
lath, was "in limited demand at full prices: "a
letter of the l2th says, Flour is held firmly a. 35s
and there are more buyers than sellers OF the best
brands at that price. See Commercial head.
We have been favored with the hnverpeol A!bior
of the 18th Feb, (the latest paper brought by h:
arrval,) containing the speech of the Chancellor o.
the ExchcQucr on presenting the Budget to Patlia
meut. We give some extracts from 1t this morning

had been preferred against them. Thus all speculation
with regard the issue of the trials is at end The
traversers have by their plea, taCliy admitted that
Lord Anyesey was right and that they were wrong
We suspect, from the way which the trial has
gone off that the whole Is the result OF compromise

Bench Feb. l2.-Ihs King u OConneH s Oilers
The Attorney General rose TO move the Court to ap-
point more distant day than Thursday next for the
trial IN this case. He was proceeding to state the
grouds of his application when he Interrupted by
Mr.. Perrin, who said he had a motion to make
which would probably supcrsede the necessity of the
Attorney General proceeding-he had 10 apply for
liberty to withdraw the plea OF NOT GUILTY to the
first fourteen counts of the indictment.
The Attorney General said, on the part sf the
Crown, he had objection TO the granting he ap-
pcation The consequence was that he enti-
tied 10 Judgment upon those counts: that, he con-
sidered, would be sufficient for all the purposes of
justice. lie should therefore, enter noli prOsequi
upon the remaining counts, and lie congratulaj ed
the Court and the country upon being spared the
agitation labor and anxiety that the trials would
have produced. and he relied upon tie Court for the
future maintenance of the peace o. the country.
Extract from private lclter:-"lt is supposed that
talks of proceeding forthwith to London. This is,
indeed, signal triumph for Lord Anglesey. AS
for my own part am perfectly convinced that the
agitation is ct an end"
Fv'raot from another private lyttcr:-"I have only
moment to say, that = Uonnen auo III. utl,e, ,ra
versers have pleaded guilty to the first fourteen
in the indictments, and there will be trial
mo judgment Will be pronounced, and he goes
Immediately to London.
Report states. that he has promised 10 give ur
agitation, but this do not believe. All moderate
men rejoice in the result"
