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.

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*

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.

Accounts were yesterday received from
Madeira, of the 24th ult. The island was

A policy of insurance was introduced in

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.

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.

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 |

mons, in order that the striking phenom

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.
