The Consol market, which left off on Saturday at 8.51 for the ACcounr, opened this morning rather heavy,ln consequence of the accounts from the Continent being of a warlike description. Con sols may be quoted at present at 8.53 I. It is reported thkt the Grand Sultan has sent orders to the dif ferent Barbary Powers to send to sea all their ships, and take all European vessels they fall in with ; but to respect the American Bag—ln the Foreign market little or nothing is doing. CITY. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. The Consol Market has been fluctuating this morning between 1131 and 8511 for the Account, and at present may be quoted liSi, alternately buyers and sellers. We understand that the Emperor of Amara has written a letter to Don Micmac, requesting hint to conform strictly to hie pledge with England. The private letters by the Lisbon Mail this morning state, that all was quiet when the packet left. In the Foreign Market,Portoguese Stock has improved. Mexican Bonds are rather heavy.

The deliberate opinion of a Statesman of so extensive information and sound judgment as Mr. Wicssov-Hoscrost, is on any sebj?ct so be received wish respect ; bpt his suggestions on a question, which, far beyond all others, divider men's opinions in this country, will be staxl with ten fold interest. It is useless for the friends of the Catholics to attempt to conceal that there exists a most respectable claw of ople, of a clew and sensible node, standing, who have opposed and do oppose Emancipation holt, a sincere conviction that danger tOthe Established Church would ensue. The invariahle argument of persons of this opinion is—that ho adequate secutity can be offered for our own Church, if the boon asked by the Catholic were granted. The line of reasoning pursued by the - late D..ke ef Yonx, by the late and present LORD Coanceccons. by Lord LIVRRTOOL. by Mr. Peel, and by the Bench of Bishops, has uniformly proceeded on an apprehension of danger to the Ettablishnsent from Roman Catholic Legislation. These distinguisted per sons have all professed their readiness to accede to the Claims, providei adequate titles could be affor dad ; and Qr. hill-POTTS conchee;f recent " Letter to an English Layme n by thee - sbolionging the Catholics : —"Fry to find the securities Vshieb we, on our part, Buy devise, such as you can conscientiously accede to." These objections have suggested to Mr. WILMOT. Honvon, as a friend of Emancipation, a security, which really appears perfectly unexceptionable. It is, in his own words--u The eaactment of a legal disqualification in the statute intended to relieve the Roman Catholic from his disabilities; such disqualification to prevent him from voting upon any measure affecting the in terests either of the Unitei Church of England and Ireland, or of the Church' of Scotland." The exclusion of the right of vi.ting, under special circumstances, has been recognized by the Legislature in 'analogous cases. The exception against the Bishops' votes in capital cases before the House of Lords, and the disallOwance in the Commons of the votes of 'Mem bens having a private interest in the question, are in stances to show that the proposed plan would not be ieconstitntional in point of precedent. The arrangement of the conflicting interests of Catho lics and Protestants by the Treaty of Westphalia, is a aood example of the principle recommended. By that Treaty it was provided, that the plurality of votes should not in future decide in the Diet in matters of religion ; that the respective Catholic and Protestant Establish 1! "ants should be permanent, and that the votes of neither - 110ition should affect the stability of the other. The stelly security of this nature ever before propied smashe plan of the late Sir JOHN HIPPISLRY. in 1816, to restrict the number of Roman Catholics to be ad. emitted into the Legislature. According to the genet al apprehension, however, that limited number would still do mischief so far as their power extended; and the anomaly of it is much greater, in a constitutional point et view, than Mr. WILMOT•IORTON'S stigtestion. It appears by a letter from Pr. POYMT4II9 the Catholic iiishop, to Mr. Holum's, that the plan would, to his sea timents, be unobjectionable. We trust, indeed, that awe( the Catholics, or thee advisers, would act so lejudiciously as to refuse a boon o which, with the reser vation pointed out, might obtain Nem with Parlia ment and the public. Mr. Waxen-Hoots:to has beta 0. steady - sad able supporter of Emancipation, on the !woad pit:slides of jastice ; sad he particularly mplaim, that though hie appeal bas been framed as a r against evils anti cipated by others, yet, in • s des ActsOf Union, sad the Coronation Aitg - widi a repudia rive upon oath by the Catholics of hostile. intentions, do of theasselve , -present a lolid and substantial security,, Whether that opinion be contorted in of not, we cannot too strongly urge upon all those who oppose the Claims a fair and candid eximination of Mr. Wtt.- ►rot HORTON'S Letter. If any conscientious scruples should be overcome by its perusal, the country will increase its debt of gratitude to the writer, and we shall assuredly be among those who will rejoice at one con vert more being gaineJ to the great cause of civil and religious liberty. The accounts in the French Papers telative to the movements of the Russian army continue to be of a very contradictory character. Whilst an article from Vienna of the 28d ult. states that advices had been re. ceived from Odessa of the 10th of an official intimation having reached that place from St. Petersburgh, of the Imperial troops having received orders to pass tl e Pruth on the 22.1; other accounts assert that no official news had been received upon the subject.— There are accounts from Semlin of the rills ult. but they ,contain.nothing new from the head (piasters of the Russian army. This silence is at least a negative proof that the passage of the Pruth had no: taken place at the time originally mold ; and the same convenient tenons which . had caused one postponement may, it will be admitted, occasion another.

DRURY LANE LUNN'S pleasant Comedy of Hoses and Thorns, which was produced some time since at the Haymarket Thea• tre, was performed here with much success on Saturday evening, Ltsrou sustaining his old character of Sir Hilary Heartease. and Sir Valentine finding an able representative in MATitaws. Alter this a petite comedy, new to the English stage, and attributed to Mr. JONES, of this Theatre, had its first representation. It is a translation from a very amusive French Vaudeville, bet much of its pleasantry is lost in the transfer. The plot turns upon a lesson of gallantry given by a Colonel Jones, confined for a breach of military discipline, to a young Cornet and fellow-prisoner (Mis Love). This lesson recoils upon the master, as the oSject upon whom it is put in practice happens to be the Colonel's wife.— The conclusion of the piece was attended with kmirure of applause and disapprobation. There is some pretty music in it by T. Comte. COVENT GARDEN. This Theatre has been latterly most successful in its revivals of SHAgSPEA RE. It certainly is difficult for a manager to gratify in this respect the public taste. The people will go to see even one good actor in a play of SIIAKSPEA RE, yet the pawer of his genius is so uni• formly diffused through all his characters, his beau ies are lavished so profusely and indiscriminately--in %host, he so little understood the art of writing a play for one antra, that a feeling of annoyance often accompanies such represen.ations, at the total failure on the stage of scenes which gave so much pleasure in the closet. There are are no plays that require a greater combina tion of talent than his. Friday night t he Merry Wives of Windsor was very effectively produced. Mr. BARTLEY played Falstaff — a character which requires no little personal qoalitica. lions—criticism is exhausted in uraise of this creation of SumrsraAnz's genius. Mr. finamrt's representa• tion evidently inysroved in ease 24 the play advanced. Madame VESTRIS personified Mrs. Page inimitably. Tt.is is a well kw.sen character of her s. She is the )host delightful actress on the stage. Miss SrePHENS, as Mrs. Ford. is another of the charms of this play. sang some very beautiful songs. Mr. WOOD, who plAye,f Fenton, sang with coribiJ...- A ble sweetness and good taste. In this slight notice, Mrs. DAVENP: RT . S Mrs. goickly must not be omitted ; it was a most bu molrons piece of acting. Mr. KEELY, Vhp performed Vender, to whose very great merits as Boots we are by no means insensible, seems to mistake the di•tinction be tween a country cloven and a tool. Mr. Waitu's rep? e entation of Ford is very good, though perhaps a Nile mo tragical. On t')e whole, the play was lully cue. serving l.f all the applause which it so wryly received Gorr a crowded audience.
