:I' 4 THE CATHOLICS.
:I' 4 THE CATHOLICS. Dublin, Jan. 18.—The meetinij'to which we alluded very recently, was heid yesterday, at the house of Lord Fingall. the ques- tion for discussion was, whether the prayer of the Petition should or should not, be lor un- qualified emancipation. Several members spoke at great length, and on a division taking piaces/about half past six o'clock, it was as- certained that i proportion of three to one of the Assembly were for unqualified -emancipa- tion, Lord Fingall was in the minority, and his Lordship gave the meeting reason to un derstand, that his secession may be looked upon as a very likely event. There is to he a Meeting this day, at tilzpatrick's, at which it is not expected that his Lordship will attend. It is even hinted that he will not preside at the >dggiegute Meeting. If his Lordship cannot agree with the majority, it is quite right that he should withdraw from their discussions; but we regret that the Veloy or what is (aula- mount to it, is the point at which his Lord- ship's scruples are aroused. On any other ground he my hope for partisans, but here he is opposed by the whole population of the country. With the sentiments of the party that was known by the appellation of Jtodercs, we are, probably more than others, acquaint ed, and we can declare, that the most fastidi- ous of them are as strongly of opinion with More, Burke, and Paley, as the most vehe. mentofthe "agitators" are, that it is mis- chievous and unnatural that one class of reli- gionists should be allowed any interference in the church government of another. The venue of the Aggregate Meeting, as 7he Sentinel taIls it, is fixed. Mr. O'Conneli, Mr. M'Oonnell, and Mr. Hay, went from Lord Fingali's yesterday to Archbishop Troy's to ask permission to hold it in Clarendon-street Chapel, and his Lordship instantly gave his cutisciit.-(I,'i-eeman's Journtil..)

yi EXTRAORDINARY CASK. Acquittulof John Rue!, on a chargc of Murder, and conviction of Jus accuser, Jnn Radford,W rerjury. I he trials came on at the adjourned Sessions for Exeter last Monday. Our readers may recollect, that in November last, we gave an account oi the apprehension of John Bird, ou a charge preferred against him by Radford of murdering one Buckhill, si servant, about two years before. The minute circumstances she then stated, were peraiste j in till last Saturday, whell being assured that BlIckhill wa Oil his road to Exeter, to atlem- the trial, and confront her in Court, she vo ItmUrily deciared that the whole charge is false. Bird was on his trial, as above th irl appeared in a most crowded Court, all(! on the Recorder asking her what lihe had lo say against the Prisoner at the Bar, she said. Nothing, Sir-l am guilty." Upon wbici; i the Jury acquitted lie A bill 0; indictment was then presented to the Urand Jury and found against Jnn Radford, 1,0 wilful and corrupt perjury. ,s|lC was imme- diately put ou her trial, ami said «* TK 'h know thall am guilty, I am advised io plead-' ./V Vy<f Guilty, Her affidavit having heeu read, Buckhill, the man slaled to have ueell murdered, ap- pcarcd at the Bar, and deposed that for the last 14 years he had lived with Lord Beau champ, and came with Lady B. to Exeler in Ihe summer of 1813. During U days thai he remained there, he went often to the irden of Ann Radford's father for fruit ,• thai i>e therehy becamc acquainted with her; that lie never knew Bird that he never quarelied with him or any other person about her.- iiird swore that, he never knew or saw Buck bill till the morning of trial: and never had anyuuartetaboutAnnRadford with any per son —has known her about two years; was with her the evening previous to her making the charge they drank together, and she ap- peared rall.er intoxicated; she wa# onlv 17 years ot age when first acquainted with her.- Here the evidence closed. The Jury found a verdict of Guilkq, and the Recorder passed on her sentence of trattspor M Vs r SGVen Great praise is due to Mr. While, Bird's master, who within a few days travelled 700 miles to bring Buckhill to rl,.Netc,r, who had lately returned from France. Had not Mr. White fortunately met with Buckhill, so circumstautial was the wicked girl's evidence, and so determinedly did she pcrsisl, in her story, that the life of Bird wouid have been most hazardous.

-LO JSi i) o FR.IDAV, JANUAHY 20 Paris Papers of Saturday have arrived. The from V agree in repre- senting ihe conference between the ne^ocia tors on the 25!h ult. as a very sharp one. Two or three of the negocialors represented Pi us sia as prolonging the miseries of Germany by the oflsLinaCl in keepmg Saxony; to Which, the Prussian Minister, wilh equal warmth re- plied, that the reproach wa frivolous and nn- tounded, for the question relative to Saxony j did not at all check Ihe deliberations upon the uerman Constitution, for io any case Saxony must have vt German Sovereign. An article from Lunec states, that a favour- able chaue IS expected to take place: in the system ot the Customs of HlIssia, /¡y whie:, several articles, the introduction of which Hitherto been prohibited, will be admitted o» a (ittly and, among these, saj-nr am- nun are mentioned with particular confidence. in terdinand of Spain confinues as grateful a- ever.

Las! evening Mr. Shaw, the King's Messeo gtr, waa ssut off with dispatches from the Fo- reign Ofhce, to Viscount Casliereagh at Vi- enna. Considerable importance was attache. lo lhese dispatches { they were supposed to be III reply to dispalches brought by Mr. Brown, Ihe King's Messenger, a few d;i)s since. This we consider a refutation of the report received )eslerday, that the Congress had been acttialiv bionen up, and that Lord Castlereagh xvai ()Ii iiis return home. In such an extremity his Lordship would not have lost one moment to have dispalched a courier with the lIews, and had any such been received, it would have pul an end to all farther dispatches addressed to our Minister at Vienna. An immense quantity of specie has recent ly arrived at Vienna from Holland. it is positively stated, that Austria has sold Bel- gium to Holland, and that this money is the payment. In the absence of that competition which the war between Great Britain and the United States of America had for a lime suspended, the East lndia Company, we understand, are likely to experience a hew and formidable rivalry in their Chiiia trade, froii-i the Portu- guese merchants at Macao. No fewer than five Portuguese ship. pnncipally laden with teas, sailed from China to Lisbolllll the course of (he lail season. By a letter from Rouen we are informed that cotton wool feillil price on the news of the American peace 15d ilie halt killograiii (tie, (a Utile more than a pound).

A private letter from Paris states, ih.it i:>a Hottentot Ven-us is in a consumption, and has lost half her beaulif. An arrangement has been proposed which votil(i reitiove it !Is mental situation, and place Ihe comtrand ii Vte 10th Hussars in the hands of Lord Robt. Manners. A number of workmen are employed culling a canal or sewer, to extend from the Regent's Ptlrk to the Tharne". The excavation was commenced in Scotland-yard, where the sewer will fall into the river. In three or four places it is already 15 feet deep, and about ten wide. The soil, winch has not been cet during many- hundred years, presents a curious appearance^ W ithin five or six feet of the surface, there are strata of different sorts. -,ticii ,tq gi-avel, chilk, black and yellow mould. &c. "deeper down, there is a fine blue clay rie III-cclion it takes at present is through Scotland-yard, in a line with the Admiralty. This extensive work will afford employ men* for -• hurr,e„se Dumber of labourers. On Friday, a number of bakers were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with liuvin" flour from the iciflers at an advance of 5s per sack beyond fhe market price and making corresponding returns to his Lordship, at the rate of 65s. whel; Ihe price was hot 60s. the fi;tcii. The Lord Mayor said it wis impossible; to regulate the price of bread while such a system prevailed. The pries must be a bona fide one, between the parties, according 10 the lowest standard of the market, and not condi- tional, as some dealers traffic. The defaulters he wouid iu future punish lo Ihe ntmos! extent. At present he would fine the several parties summoned, in the mitigated penally of 20s. each. Lord Byron's patrimonial eslales/m Nolling- hamslnre were not long since sold at a price so much beyond any previous estimation, that the purchaser became unwilling to conclude the contract, and has forfeited accordingly the sum of ten thousand pounds. On Saturday last, 44 publicans, resident in Wolverhampton, were convicted of bavin"" their quarts, pints, and haifpints lido. ths standard measure. In general they held about two thirds of what they are required by law, and one tankard not more than a table spoon- ful over a pint—consequently ihe landlord cleared uearly cent, per cent in addition to his usual profits—The full penally is 40s. be, sides costs.

A few days ago, as the Dowager Lady with two of her daughter, Acre tak*iu» an airing near tiie seat of her son, in one (>f f;,e oidtand counties, they were slopped by three aten dressed in sailor's clothes. One of presented a pistol to the coachman a second did the same to the footman and the third demanded the watches, and money 01 the ladies. These were immediatelV given up.— Lady observed, that her wasch was a f. tiiiiyoue; but this had no effect upon the robbers, who declared They would give up no. thing, and went away. An alarm was of course soon spread the neighbonrsset out in pursuit of the highwaymen, bitt without suc- cess, and all express was sent off to Birming- ham for the police officers, who made an inef- fectual search. So daring a robbery, at eleven or twelve o'clock in the morning, in broad daylight, caused a considerable sensa lion in the surrounding villages, but nothing trans- pired until a day or two after, when Lord called his servants into the lira v. in^ roi> !>, and asked them whether they should know the sailors again ?

The astonishment of ail preset, wis equalled only by their curiosity. They eagerly dem-anued how his Lordship had regained ihe watch ? The whole plot was fieri d'scovtred and it seems that ihe Voble Lord mid two of his near relatives had performed this silly I cxp loit.
