3*30 A&OT3* WEDNESDAY MORNING, April 15, 1629. ■ - ■ ‘■ —■ ■ ■ — r By the brig Reaper , Capt. Lf.ar, 15 days from Guadaloupe, we received papers of the 11th and 12th March. Their contents aro without interes 1 to an American reader. Prices at Point Pitre, (Guad.) March 23. P. Pine Lumber —Steam sawed S3O; River S2O; Staves $25. —Mollastes 17 cents on board—Ame rican Produce generally dull By the way of Charleston, we have received a few days later accounts from England. The all- J engrossing subject in that kingdom is the Gatho- j lie question. The ministry, it seems, have at ■ length acknowledged the necessity of making 1 large concessions; but ’they are evidently forced, positively wrung from their fears, and whether they will be such as to satisfy the claims of the oppressed Catholics of Ireland, is a question which time alone can solve. In the hope, probably, such concessions, and with a view to render harm- ! less to them the contemplated act of Parliament, 1 the Catholic Association, it seems, voluntarily j dissolved itself. But this act, instead of destroy- j ing that spirit of reformation which is abroad, af- j fords, in our view, only an evidence of the perfect discipline of that Association, and its moral power. It will be as easy a matter to rc-organize it, as it Was to dissolve it. In regard to the Cotton Market, the accounts are still unfavorable. The time is rapidly ap- 1 proaching when the people of Georgia must look to other sources of wealth than their Cotton plan tations. Our citizens continue to be constantly alarmed with attempts to fir the city. Three attempts were made in different parts of the town on Mon day evening. While the strictest surveilance should he exercised over the vagrants among us, we would also, at the samo time, recommend to houSe-kecpers, to have an eye to their own ser vants. Many of our fires have undoubtedly ori ginated in those revengeful feelings w hich a ser vant may entertain towards his owner for neces sary correction. FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS. Office of the Charleston Courier , I Ap- il 12—7 p. M. / LATEST FROM ENGLAND. The slop Ann Mary Ann , Capt. Clark, arrived on Saturday evening, has put us in possession of our regular files of London and Liverpool papers to the 21st February, inclusive. Our commercial advices are of the same date and we regret to add, so far as respects our own staples, of a still more unfavora ble complexion. Toe Catholic Question, which is now considered as about to be finally settled, is the all engrossing subject of animadversion in the Brit prints. Cobbett takes some credit to himself for having assisted in pro- 1 curing litis event. The Liverpool Auxiliary Catholic Rent Society, held its final meeting on the 15th Fob. when it was dissolved by unanimous consent. It was understood that Mr. O’Connell would not attempt to take his seat in the 1 House of Commons pending the measure which the Government has announced, for doing away with Catholic disabilities. The Catholic Association of Ireland was dissolved on the night of the 17tb Feb j There were not more than ten dissenting! voices, although the meeting was a very crowded one. The discussion lasted from 3to 9 o’clock. The measure appears to have given great satisfaction to the Catho lics and to their fiends The follow ing are the provisions of the Bill introduced by Mr. Peel, for the sup pression os the Catholic Association, but which has been rendered nugatory by the voluntary dissolution of the Association. “ It enacts that the Catholic Association be suppressed ; every pet son present at tho same, after the passing the bill, tc be deem ed guilty of a misdemeanor. “ The Lord Lieutenant is empowered to suppress associations or assemblies by proc lamation “ Any two Justices of Peace to whom such proclamation or order shall be given by the Lord Lieutenant, may enter any pla.ee where such association is held ; and if refused admittance may enter by force. They shall then command all persons to disperse immediately. 44 And if they do not disperse within one j -quarter of an hour, they may be apprehend-I ed and proceeded against in a summary ! Way for each offence for any two Justices If convicted, they shall be committed to giiol for three calendar months; and for a second or subsequent offence, for the whole year. :t For the purposes of the act, Justices m iy act within every county, city, town or place, throughout Ireland 44 Any person knowingly permitting the Meeting of any association which hasbeen prohibited or suppressed, is to forfeit for every such offence 100/ 44 Persons subscribing to such association to forfeit treble the sum so contributed, or 10/. at the election of the Attorney Gene ral. 44 Sums subscribed are to be forfeited to his Majesty, and every person receiving, or otherwise having the same shall be obli ged to answer upon oath any information filed by the Attorney General. 44 The form of conviction is specified, and an enactment added to prevent convic tions from being removed by certiorari. “ Prosecution to be commenced within three calendar months next after the fact committed. 44 The act to commence from the expi ration of ten days after the passing thereof: *o much of it as relates to the Catholic As sociation shall be perpetual, and the resi due thereof to be in force for one vear from the day of passing the act, and until • tho end of the next session of Parliament.’ The Brunswickers in Ireland have sent ever 4,000/. for the purpose of subsidizing ome of the libera! presses of that city, and and to induce them to oppose the measure of Catholic emancipation* His Holiness Pope Leo XII. died at Rome on the 10th of February. Kean has been obliged, in consequence of indisposition, to throw up his London engagement, and has retired to hiS encamp ment on the banks of his favorite Loch Fad, for the recovery of his health. London, February 20. In Fiance there is at present a complete dearth of political intelligence. The French papers to the I7th which we have received, do not contain a single syllable in the shape of news from any part of the’ world. They are principally filled with developments of two projects of law sub mitted on Saturday las! to the Chambers— one for the prevention of duelling, the oili er anew penal military code. The form er substitutes for the severe acts of former Sovereigns, which had fallen into disuse, provisions to bring the parties befor e a c om „ mission of inquiry in the first place by whom, if the fact is proved they are to be sent to a jury find one guilty of inflicting wounds or death, the offender is to be pun ished, in the first case, by the interdiction of all his 44 civic, civil and family rights,” for a poriod not less than three venrs, and not exceeding five, and in the second for one not exceeding ten, and not less than five; YVe have received German papers this morning to the 14th inst The Algemeine Zeitung states, that the allied Abassadors at Naples were engaged in preparing a plan to seule the form of the future government of Greece, and it was expected Mr. Strat ford Canning would pay a visit to London. There was last night an animated, tho’ somewhat irregular conversation in the House of Lords, raised out of nothing—for the petition which it was presumed to con cern had been in fact disposed of—but em bracing every thing, fron the Histry of the Revolution, to the principles, merits and consequences of emancipation, and drawing out host of speakers. The question whether it was or was not expedient, as well as constitutionally just, to relieve the Catholics from their disabil ities, was by some strange hocus poeus twisted into another and odd sort of spec ulation—viz: 44 whether this was henceforth trbe a Protestant or a Popish Kingdom.” YVe do not say who it was that broached this humorous travesty of a grave subject of State inquiry, but sure we are, that whoev er he may have been a lesson was read to him which he will not hastily forget The Duke of Wellington aft erwards in troduced the second reading of the bill for suppressing the Catholic Association, r () which his Grace prefixed a history of ib 0 past sins and possible evils of that un- i precedcnted and formidable body. We should like to have heard of a few kicks being given the Brunswick societies as well as the Catholic, inasmuch as the wea pon of the former was physical force, which could not be charged against the latter.— ; But the truth was put clearly by Lord Clan ricarde, that to suppress tho Catholic or ar any other association was not going to the root of the disease; for it is indeed I plain to every body, that the malady being j discontent—of which clamor is but the i symptom, not the cause —we do little by im-1 posing silence, but inflame the suffering which sought relief in vociferation, and which, if it cannot find vent in speech, will sooner or later have recourse to action. The second bill about to be brought be fore Parliament by Government cuts near er to the heart of the mischief. It makes war upon grievances—not upon murmuts —; and we are willing to confide in the declar-j alions of the King’s Ministers, that the well i disposed, both Protestant and Catholic,! will see in it matter for solid and cordial satisfaction— Times. London, Feb. 21. We received last night the Paris papers of Wednesday, and the Gazette dc France, dated Thursday. Last night the Peti’ ‘ns presented in the House of Lords, were,, h only two excep tions, for the removal oi Civil and Religious Disabilities. One deserving of"particular notice—that presented by Lord Holland, from the Dis- j senting Ministers of the three Denomina tions in and adjoining to the Metropolis.— “They were the descendants,” said his Lordship,“of the old Protestant Dissenters, who had long distinguished for their wealth and respectability, and who now amounted, as he was informed, to not less than 3,500,- 000 persons, exclusive of the Wesleyans and other Methodists.” We arp persuaded that the estimate of his Lordship is rather under than above the mark. The Inde pendents alone, one of three denominations, have, as we are informed by a competent, authority 4 not few than 2,400 congregations in England. “The petitions,said his Lord ship,” “had been agreed at a public Meeting of the body, and the vote in favour of it was j about three to one, or about the same pro portion in which it was e gned.” This may be taken for a pretty fair criterion of the Dissenters generally, if we exelude the i Methodists, who are not Dissenters but I fanatical Churchmen, who adopt the Li jturgy of the Establishment, objecting only to the latter that it is not filled by serious Crhistians. The Methodists are, and al ways have been, hostile to concession to the Catholics; and they form the main body of the force at the disposal of the Duke of Newcastle and Lord Winchilsea, which may have the effect of softening the animo sity which these Peers are known to have borne against conventicle. Mr. Maberly called the attention of the House last night to the subject of the Fi nance Committee from the announ cement that had been made by Ministers, would not be revived in sufficient time to have any beneficial effect on esfimate of the present year. He was sure that go vernment would not make the retrenchments which were practicable, unless pointed out by a Committee. He was followed by Sir Henry Parnell, T who urged several very forcible reasons for | the reappointment of the Committee. 4 *lt was well ktrowo (he said) that there was a i constant tendency—a tendency which the | heads of the departments were sometimes unable to resist—in the various public de partments to increase their expenditure.— The inquiries of a Committee had streng , fhened the hands of the treasury, and given to that department a more effectual con troul over the others. By the interference of the Committee the Treasury had, indeed, recovered its legitimate authority.” He instanced pat Ocularly our colonial system, in which nothing short of a full and exten sive examination by a Committee of the House could effect any amelioration. The chancellor of the exchequer concur red with most of the views of these gentle men, but urged the present occupation of the government as an obstacle to the con sideration of the subject before the latter of the session. Thank God this eternal Catholic Ques tion is at last to be disposed of. It has been a bar to all improvement, and it is on that account, perhaps that so many of the noto rious opponents of all amelioration in our institutions are so sorry to get rid of it. [ Morning Chronicle. Accounts were yesterday received from Madeira, of the 24th ult. The island was perfectly tranquil. All the shipping in the bay were driven out to sea on the 1 Qth, by a heavy gale of wind. A late letter from Smyrna states, that “the levy on this place, 6500 cavalry, and 2000 foot soldiers, h7is been completed; they march immediately upon Constanti nople. They are all young men, full of’ enthusiasm, but they are sadly deficient in discipline.” A policy of insurance was introduced in to Lloyd’s on Thursday, which attracted much attention. It was for 90,000/. on the plate and jewels of the Duke of North umberland, from London to Dublin, for all ! risks, for one year. The premium charged was 255. per cent A P aris Correspondent of a morning paper writes:— 44 The Earl of Bridgwater is dead. Mr. Phillips, a partner in the House of La Fitte, is Ins executor. It is said that ho has lelt 25,000/. a year to his secretary. — Much is spoken of his singularities. His fondness for dogs, and the care which he took of them, excited universal wonder.— \V e often mot half a dozen of his dogs in a fine carriage, drawn bv four horses, follow ed by two footmen. The conduct of these favorites was punished or rewarded The honor of sitting beside their master at dinner w's the dearest recommence which they could oh lain. ’ [From the Court Circular.] Summonses were issued yesterday morn ing from the Foreign Office, Dowing street, for the holding a Cabinet Council at one o’clock in the afternoon About that hour the following ministers assembled at the Foreign Office, Dowing street:—The Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, Earl; Bathurst and Aberdeen, Ldrd Ellenborough, Mr. Secretary Peel, Sir George Murray, the Chancellor of the Exchequer Mr.Vesey Fitzgerald, and Mr. Hurries. Viscount Mellville, the only Cabinet Mi nister absent, was prevented by indisposi tion from attending; his Lordship, although much better, not being yt*l allowed to leave the house. . The ministers remained in deliberation upwards of 3 hours. Money Market. —City Friday. The Public Securities, instead of being depressed by the declarationof the Dukes of Cumberland in the House of Peers, last night, respecting the Catholic Question, as was expected by many of the speculators, have left off extremely firm this afternoon, nt an advance of 1-2 per cent, on the o pening prices. Ii is true that momentary panic was silt as Consols for Amount dropped to 87 7-8, and for April 87 18, hit the market assumed its accustomed elasticity, and early in the afternoon Con sols for accounts advanced to 87 I*4, thoueh a good deal of money stocks at nearly the same time, was sold at 87, with a sufficient demand for money to obtain an interest of 3 per cent for a few days forward, the lat ter becoming more scarce from the course pursued by the directors of the band in re jectinga large amount of bills sent in yes terday bv speculators in foreign grain to be discounted, who were consequently com pelled to seek accommodation in other quateis. Besides the ordinary causes which had an influence on the Funds this afternoon, the decline in the prices of grain at Mare lane, and a tendency upwards in the foreign exchanges this aftecnoon, produce a pretty strong conviction that the funds will be still higher before the end of the ac count—reports too, were current in the city, that ministers intended to make very considerable reductions in the Navy Es timates, in order ns much as possible to conciliate all parties. Under these circumstances, Consols for account rose to 87 3-8, and for April to 87 5-8, the continuation from account amount ing to nearly 1-4 per cent, at which quota tionsa good deal of business was transacted for upwards of an hour after the market closed; and at 5 o’clock some bargains were at 87 1-2 in Consols for the next Settle ment. In Exchequer hills we have to notice a further improvement of 2s. they leaving off at 545. premium. India bonds were not sold highe l than 50. premium. Foreign bonds are for the most part nominally the same as yesterday. In Mexican, not a sin gle bargain was reported up to the termination of business Brazil stock rose from Cl 1-2 to 62, the closing price, and Buenor Ayres from 331-2 , to 34 1-2.

If. —Tt is reported that Den mark has a surplus of 2,040,000 tons of corn of last year’s harvest, which it can spare for exportation; and the value of which, at a moderate price, is 11,640,000 marks banco. Stockholm , Feb. 3.—The Argus says that the new Tariff instead of a general prohibition, will impose a duty of 50 per cent, on all goods. i From the Monileur of Feb. 10.^ The Government has received the nows of the death of his Holiness the Pope.— His health had been slightly affected for two or three days, when on the 90 <f Febru ary the physicians declared that bis life was in imminent danger. His Holiness expired on the 10ih, at nine o clock in the morning The loss of a Sovereign Pontiff, so en lightened. so pious, and so moderate, is a real calamity to Christendom. I* ranee, more than any other Catholic State, has reason to deplore the premature death of Leo the Twelfth, who had a particular af fection for it, as he had a just and entire confidence in ihe virtues and religion of the King, his exulted wisdom displayed in every affair a spirit of conciliation and peace. He appreciated times a conjunc tures; he has found means t o maintain unity in the two worlds by watching with indefa tigable solicitude over the government of the church, and by providing for its wants with zeal and firmness. From the Messenger des Chambers, Feb. 18. M. Roislecomte, who lately returned from Vienna, where he is attached to the French Legation is on his way back to that city with dispatches. The Chevnilier de Nuronha, chief Se cretary of the Portuguese Legarion at Par is, who was lately sent to London with des patches, has arrived again in this city with letter from M Pulmella to M. Barbosa. There is no longer any doubt respect ing the melancholy end of M. Auget, per petual Secretary of the French Academy, who disappeared from his some on the 2d January; his body has been found in the Seine, near Meulan, and the indentity proved by several witnesses, in the pre sence of the Magistrates. From the Courier Francis of Wednesday. Far is, 18 th bcb. —The Government has this day received the news es the Pope’sdeath. His Holiness, who had long boen in a languishing state, expired on the 10th of this month, at nine o’clock in the morning. Leo XIT. Hanibal della Genga, was born at La Genga on the 2d of August, 1760. He was elected Pope, at Romo, on the 27th Sept. 1823, and enthroned on the 6th Oct. following.

It is probably that the Catholic Relief Bill is to he brought in next week by His Majesty s Ministers: the preliminary bill will have received the R<>yul assent about Wednesday. Upon the contrary of its passing both houses of Parliament it is not worth while to speak; the power of carry ing that inestimable measure admits no dis- j pute. As for the order in which the new law j may he tendered to the acceptance ol the Lords and Commons the Duke of Welling- j ton, considering the kind of opposition! which he meets with, has maintained a i prudent silence. YVe shall, probably, see | the bill introduced at first into the Com mons, in order that the striking phenom enon of a nearly unanimous House of Com - mons may make way through certain minds, which no ray of light from general reasoning has ever had force to penetrate. ; From tho Road Island American. Mercantile Luw. —A case of some inter- I cst to Commission Merchants though not involving any new principle, whs decided at the recent term of the Supreme Court in this town. The substance of the facts was, that Whitman Thursten had placed certain I goods in the hands of Daniel Howard, of this town, to sell on commission, without special instructions Howard sold the goods on credit, amounting to $lO3 to William Lenox, a grocer and dealer in Pawtucket, about the same time trading him with some of his own goods. It did not appear that any particular inquiries were made at the time, as to the standing of Lenox, defen dant believing him to be in good ciedit.— It was also shown that about the same period, he had been trusted by other merchants in town, and that his notes at bank and drafts had been regularly honored up to that date. Lenox’s note, which had been discounted at an out town bank, was sent to the Mer chants Bank and dishonoured, about a fort night after which, Lennox failed. Plaintiff produced 6 or seven persons, in Pawtucket, retail dealers, who testified that they would not have trusted Lenox, and that his credit was not good in their lino of business Defendant showed that notes and drafts of Lenox, had repeatedly been endorsed by Mr. Barney Merry, of Pawtucket, a poison of undoubted credit. On these facts, Mr.Bridgham for plaintiff, contended that Mr. Howard had not used due dilligence. That he ought to have made inquiry as to the ciedit of Lenox, at the place where he lived, and not where the goods were sold, and that such neglect, in the event of the buyer proving insolvent, would charge the Commission Merchant. Mr. A. C. Greene for defendant, con tended that a Commission Merchant was only bound to satisfy himself of the credit of the buyer, aW the place where the goods were sold, and that the fact of his trusting the buyer with his own goods, and other discreet men trusting him at the same time, was sufficient evidence that the person was in good credit, so as to exonerate the com mission merchant The chief justice charged the jury to this effect in substance, merely requiring of the commission merchant such dilligence as fair and prudent men take in theirown concerns; laying it down that the commission merchant was not bound to go out of the place where the goods were sold, to ascertain the credit of the buyer, and that this evidence of cre dit was to be drawn from the dealings of other men with the buyer, and the fact whether his paper was honored or dishon ored at bank, rather than the unwillingness of individuals to trust him in small transac tions. The jury were our a short time and returned a verdict for defendant. _ L G M k LUCIA U FROM OUR CORRF.SPO\I) Fnt Offc,ofU.e<; o|| ; i * Charleston, Ami] in r 1 I*.
