PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. Our Spanish Correspondent at Cadiz has sent us the following particulars relative to the trade at that place : CADIZ, Orr. Y. Large quantities of British manufactures and Colonial produce have been imported since Cadiz was declared a free port ; and although the prices were rather low, great sales have been effected, and in most cases for ready money. Several English houses of Gibraltar and Lisbon have established branches of their business here; but it is remarkable that no other foreigners have followed the ex- Ample, nor has any person come out direct from England to settle. Our export trade here is chiefly confined to sherry wines ; and it is worthy of remark that this article, of which only 6,000 butts were annually exported to Great Britain a few years ago, has increased to more than 20,000 since the duties were lowered ! Several neutral vessels continue to enter our port from the South American Republics, and their cargoes are' freely admitted, which was not the case formerly. A number of vessels have also arrived from Newfoundland, with Esh—a part of them found a ready market ; the un sold cargoes were sent to Alicant and the ports of Italy. Some timber ships from England are still without buyers. Had they sent good Newcastle coals, a ready sale and good prices might be obtained, as we are much in want of that article. It is of the greatest importance, that a more certain and frequent communication should be established be tween Cadiz and England. For this purpose, it is to be hoped that a packet will henceforth run between this place and Falmouth. At present we only see one in the course of a month ; and as she merely touches here on her voyage from the Mediterranean, we have scarcely time to avail ourselves of the occasion. The following are the vessels of different nations in our harbour : viz. English 25, French 5, and 2 brigs of war for the protection of commerce, Dutch 4, Swedish 6, Russian 8. The house of Michael Lopez and Co. stopped payment on the 25th ult. This firm was largely connected in England. FASHIO `GENCE. A.S.

The cielings of the State-rooms in the KING'S new Palace in St. James's Park are nearly finished, except the gilding ; the ornamental part is most elaborately . wrought ; that of the Saloon is a masterpiece of the kind. Some of the rooms will have their sides adorned with columns and pilasters in scagliola, supporting enriched entablatures. Field Marshal Viscount BEILESTORD, Master General of the Ordnance, has arrived at Bedale, Yorkshire, as a visit to his brother, Vice Admiral Sir J. P. BEIIII7O/ID, Bart. M.P. VI nocQ.—The lovers of the marvellous will regret to learn that the modern Guzman d'Alfrache and Laserillo de Tormes —the terrible Vidocq—is as great a romancer as thief or thief-taker. The Englishman he caricatures under the Gallo-anglican name of Becoot, and who is made to figure in our translation as a low Cockney, is a man of fortune, family, and an Officer of the British Navy. His brother, we believe, is, or was, an Offices, of our Guards. His wife is the daughter of a late cele brated friend of our present King—long admired for beauty and accomplishments, and pitied for her " egare ments." The Italian Officer, also misnamed Gaviani, we know personally ; and can vouch for his being a gen tleman of respectable family and elegant acquirements. What, then, are we to think of the veracity of this noted Vidocq, when we perceive such perversions of truth and distortions of character ? ' • • • • THE DRAMA.—A Correspondent on the Drama in the Chronicle of this morning, who professes himself to be an admirer of the Soft music of melo-dramas, " has made the very extraordinary discovery that the decline of the drama is occasioned by modern dinner hours—the march of intellect—and improvement of morals. In Paris and Brussels the fashionable people now dine as late as the tonish folks of England, and yet their theatricals flourish. In those capitals, too, intellect marches as ra pidly as with us ; but with it their stage has manually unp rove d. With regard to the amelioration of our mo rals, we must all be glad to hear so good an account. 4 ourselves ; and would wish to see some proofs of this reformation in the Musicos of Covent Garden and Drury Lane: . Alas l we apprehend our improvement here is as illusory as the good music in the melo-dramai he so nisch ••• • • admires. THE MILREAS.

THE LA.S'r OF THE GOTHS, OR THE DICTATOR'S LEVEE. No. I. Sense : A large gloomy apartment in Downing-street ; a map of the world looking very black, wantonly torn and die. figured in various places, over the chimney—on which the Cousmononat. Countries of Europe are marked with ominous red crosses ; the pictures of Hampden, Sydney, and Marlborough, obscured by dust, lie in a corner with their faces to the wall ; while the portraits of Cms atm I I. in the latter years of his reign, JAMES 11, the Pore, Mar- TIZNICiI and Judge J aerate*, are pompowly suspended in frames richly carved and gilded. On a table, amongst • multitude of mysterious looking papers, dated from Mont. rouge and Vienna, lie a Russian knout, and a double. edged sword, newly sharpened. The History of the Bri tish Constitution, thrown on the back of the fire,is slowly consuming ; while an odd volume of Mackaael, sadly thumbed, and a ►ook of martial law, splendidly bound, lie open oa the table ; upon which tests an admirable mi niature of OLIVCR Caostwacc. Divers architectural models and drawings, with empty canvas money-bags, apparently of Russian texture, are strewed about the room. A little pale imperious looking man, with an aristocratic nose, seeming as if it crowed over the infe riority of an insolently-projecting opposition chin, paces to and fro on a pair of sorry supports, not overburthened, however, with the carcase they carry. His eyes, through which a proud soul peers insolently out, are flashing with testy ardour. This extraordinary personage, more like a Hero than an Asa—more like a Legislator than a kangaroo—suddenly stops, and seizing up CIIO34WILL'S picture, gazes wistfully on it for a time, and thus ex- claims How the devil did be do it ? Were men different in bis days— or am I but a Satyr to Hyperion? When he would climb, the people lent their backs ; when be encroached, they cowred them down and yielded. But I may not o'erstep one single inch but straight a clamour peals about my ears to terrify me back. Time trudges on apace, and my weak taper, to the socket burned, will never light me through. Then, let me reap a harvest while I tan. The people are but sheep—doomed to be driven ; and I must tura their mutton to account. Society grows fearfully awake ; but I must bung its eyes theta after me bequeath a long dark night. [Enter, UM:MR-SIM arra AT. lisctT : —My Lord ! GO= : (aside) Why not my Majesty ! ' Sky:—My Lord!

Yesterday the Inquest was held upon three men, John Fisher, Janne Coyle, and Samuel Parkes, who were drowned in the Dolphin hulk on Friday morning. The Jury assembled at the Town Hall, Rochester, at twelve o'clock, before T. ParetN, Esq. the Coroner, and from then:, t i,. .y proceeded in a boat to the Canada hospital ship. in the Nledway • Mr. C and Mr. Deelre•, &OM the Home Office, acre present. George Layd, Overseer of the ship, stated what has already ap peared in our account of the accident, with very little variation. Ile mentioned that if there bad been a watch on the lower sleek rise leak might have been discovered in time to have prevented the to.: of Eves. He had reported to Mr. Capper four years ago that the ship was cranky ; and the hammock-house was taken down in order to ease her. The vessel bad hung by the piles mice before. .1 guard went betwist decks every half hour, between ten o'clock and the tints of the accident, and up to 12 o'clock at night all was sale. Witness mustered the crew as soon as day-light appeared after the accident; but, previously to that, so confident was he that at least a hundred were drowned, that he sent an account to the Home Office to that effect. Fr .m the first alarm being given to the titre the ship went over about 25 minutes only elapsed. It ►he had been built like another ship of war the piles would have beets unnecessary. She is ♦hat is called a wall-sided ship. T. Sambrook, guard of the ship, came cn the watch at half-past 10 o'clock, and visited the lower desk every half-hour. Susan attest 12 o'clock the ship careened. Told the boatswain of it. and at that moment Captain Lloyd appeared upon deck. Witness we t down to the lower deck to quiet the prisoners, who were out that the water was rushing in upon them, and making violent efforts to escape. Captain Loyd recalled—Unfastened six of the wards; the other two were forced open by the prisoners themselves, who rushed in a body to the hatchway. The others were got out at the port-holes, the iron fastenings of which were with difficulty broken:. Upwards of 100 of them escaped at the bow-port.— They got ashore with Ito other clothing than their shirts, wher they were guarded by the military and minims. and colic of limit remained in ihat state iseerly four hours. There had beets an unusual increase of mud &hoot rte vessel within the last turf• nigh . is steam-engine was set to work three day• before the accioeist to clear the mud away. Ten lighters were entpl-y /I. and each took away about a ton of mud. The quantity cat ii.od sucked she vessel down, and prevented her irons risu•g with the tide. The water rushed in at the scupper-hole•, each of wine/ was as large as the round of his hat, and must have hi ed the vet.- :el in a very few moments. While she was stuck fast m the mud, the shaking caused by the end.-avesurs of the convicts to escape made her spring out of it, and she braved over to the opposite slut. She tottered for a few moment., and then fell over on her larboecd aide. &he. witneues confirmed this account. The Jury deliberated half an hour. and retorted the following special verdict, which was read by the Foreman : " It is the unanimous opinion of the Jury on tke Inquest holden on board the Canada, that John Fisher, James Coyle, and Samuel Parkes, were accidentally drowned on board the l) iplana convict ship, on the morning of Friday. the Itith of Oct; bet - . They also are unanimously of opinion, that the said convict ship is improperly constructed for that purgose, and beg to recom mend another ship, or some other means to be adopted to pre• nt similar accidents ; and at the same time take the opportunity of expressing their unanimous opinion of the steady and good comduc• of the overseer of the said ship (Nlr. George Loyd) during the very trying occasion, as it appears to us in evidence that had it not bran for his prompt exertions, a great number of lives must have Ikea lost." The Coroner recorded this •. rdict ; after which Captain Loyd thanked the Jury. Mr. Capper left Chatham as soon as Captain 1.,.y.1'i raamit:.,• Hon was over.
