Political rumours have, as usual, been fabricated, and applied with great confidence to the operations which have produced this retrograde movement ; but we need not caution our Readers against delusion from such an unnecessary exercise of ingenuity, as the magnitude of the speculation which has been so long carried on for a rise, will supply them with very obvious reasons for frequent changes in the aspect of the Market, without at all discouraging the expectation of great ultimate improvement. The Jews appear to be making very judicious preparations for carrying on their speculations, and have been - themselves Sellers of the large quantities of Money Stock, by which the Market has been depressed. This operation will enable them to repay the money borrowed, in the event of the Bankers requiring it. PRICES OF STOCKS AT ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 238 1 ,4-3 per Cent. Reduced 77 76 Y 8 3 per Cent.

Soon after she left the harbour, a Royal salute was fired from the town, and no doubt is entertained that his MAJESTY was then making his entree into Calais. Mr. WALTERS, one of his NI/ambit's Messengers, arrived this morning at the Marquis of LONDON.. DERRY'S Office, announcing that his MAJESTY slept at Ramsgate last night. His MAJESTY'S travelling carriage was sent off this morning from Carlton Palace stables, to convey his MAJESTY to town. The Lords Justices meet this Jay to close the Com mission, with which they were invested during the ; KING's absence on the Cominent. The return of his MAJESTY may now, therefore, be hourly expected in the metropolis. Instractions were yesterday received at Carlton Palace, from Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, to have everything in im mediate readiness for his MAJESTY S reception.— About twelve o'clock Sir WILLIAM CONGREVE called and inspected the fitness of the preparations. Dinner is ordered for this day. His MAJESTY'S stay in the metropolis will, it is said, be very short, as he purposes quitting town soon after his arrival, for Brighton, where he intends passing the Christmas. The West Kent Yeomanry Cavalry have received directions from the Lord Lieutenant to be in readiness at Rochester to receive his MAJESTY, as he , passes through that city. The guns at the Tower are ordered to be in readi ness to fire upon his MAJESTY'S arrival in the Capital. About eleven o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Roses • *uncut, one of the King's Private Messengers, arrived in town in a chaise and four with dispatches from his MAJESTY. The Paris Paper of Monday arrived this forenoon. The Chambers met on that day for the dispatch of business. A copy of the KING'S speech, on opening the Session, will be found in our preceding page.— It presents a favourable, and, by all accounts, a cor rect account of the returning prosperity of France. An expectation is held out that the public burdens will be reduced, and this on the faith that the tran quillity of Europe will not be dist:l:bed. A brief allusion is made to the calamities which afflict the Turkish Empire. His MAJESTY expresses " a hope that they approach their termination, and that the prudence and cordiality of all the Powers will find the means of satisfying what religion, policy, and humanity may justly command." The French 5 per Cents. at the close of the Mar ket on Monday last, were at 89 fr. 75 c. Letters from Odessa, received this morning, dated the 12th October, mention that the Russian troops had gone into winter quarters. We have received to-day, the Madrid Journals to the 25th ultimo. The following are eitracts: CADIZ, OCTOBER 16. The Board of Health has published a notice re- 1 specting the yellow fever at Puerto St. Maria, Xeres de la Frontera, and Lebrija. The fever is stated to be of a much less malignant character than on for mer occasions. The number of sick at Puerto St. Maria (in the town and Hospital) on the 12th, was 222 ; the deaths on that day were ten. At Xeres, on the 13th, deaths two, sick 17. At Lebrija, on the 12th, sick M. At Cadiz there was no case of yellow fever. The _ ~: 11 1 • I i number of ' deaths in that .city, from eight in the morning of the 11th, till the 15th, were S 5 in all. BARCELONA, OCTOBER 17.

MURCIA, OCTOBER 19. We learn from Aquilas, that the number of per sons who died of the yellow fever from the 11th to the 13th, was five ; and the patients nineteen. The Municipality having made all the people go into the country, the town was deserted, and the contagion could find none to attack. MADRID, OCTOBER 24. The accounts from Seville state, that there is no yellow fever there. Private letters received in town this morning from various parts of Spain, and particularly from Tor tosa, announce the pleasing intelligence that the rains had already commenced, and that the fever was abating. The same letters add, that this dreadful malady had communicated itself to the cattle, and out of a flock of 300 sheep, 75 only remained. A Mail from Italy has brought an account •)f the proceedings before the Tribunal established at Turin, for trying the persons engaged in the late Revolution. A great number of the accused have escaped beyond the reach of vengeance; and though they may suffer in their property, have saved their lives. Thus Dat. Pozzo, whose name so frequently appeared in the proceedings of the Provisional Government of Pied- i wont, and other Leaders, are sentenced in mint_ macy to be executed in effigy, and to forfeit their estates. There are various punishments besides death. Many are condemned to the gallies, and imprison ment for different periods. It is also but fair to state, that many of the accused have been acquitted ; and that, among very severe sentences, there are others of a more moderate character than might be expected from the angry feeling of a restored Government. A Hamburgh Mail arrived this flrenoon, with P.l. pens to the 31st ultimo. They contain accounts from St. Petcrsburgh to the 15th October, in which there is nothing particular, except that the town of Uralsk, the capital of the L'ral Cossacks, was burnt to the ground on the 23d July : 1,726 houses, two Christian churches and a Tartar mosque were de.troyed. Advices have been received from Cape Coast Castle, dated the 25th of August, stating that the misunderstanding which had for some time existed with the Ashantees has been entirely removed, to the satisfac►ion bath of the KING and the Governor in Council ; and that the former had, in consequence, given orders that every obstruction to the free com munication of the Ashantees with Cape Coast should be removed. General Don FRANCISCO \Waits, late Envoy Ex traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from Spain to the United States of America, arrived at Liverpool on Wednesday, in the ship Amity, from New York. l)on HILARIO DE RIVAS XELMEN, Secretary to the Legation, .remains as Charge-d'Affaires. Yesterday afternoon Lord VALLETORZ arrived in town from Hanover. Last night Mr. Whirs, one of the King's Private Messengers, left town with dispatches to his MAJESTY. At a late hour on Tuesday night Mr. PROUDNIAN, the King's Messenger, arrived in town from Brussels. Yesterday Mr. PEGLEa and Mr. LACK, the King's Messengers, arrived in town from the same place. Yesterday, at one o'clock, the Lords Justices for the Administration of the Government during his MAJESTY'S absence from England, held a meeting at the Council Chamber, Whitehall; which was con sidered an extraordinary meeting, and their Lord ships continued their meeting till nearly four o'clock. , , There were present— His Royal Highness the Duke of York, his Grace the Arch- 1 bishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor, Viscount Sitimouth,l Viscount Melville, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Marquis of Cholmoudeley. Mr. Hamilton attended as the Lords Justices' Secretary. Tuesday his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK held a Levee as Commander-in-Chief, which was but thinly attended, there being only between twenty and Chitty Gentlemen present, owing to his Royal High ness not being expected in town till this day. The Ball given at Cullen House on the 25th ult. by Colonel and Mrs. GRAN r, of Grant, in Banffshire, was very numerously attended by the Nobility and Gentry of that and the neighbouring counties. The dance was led off with great spirit by his Grace the Duke of GORDON and Lady G. CUMMINO, of Altyre, and was kept up till five in the morning. About 150 sat down to supper, and by the attention and care of the amiable hostess, beds and every accom modation necessary to their comfort were provided for all her numerous guests. NATIONAL Soctxry.—Yesterday, the General Committee of the National Society, for the educa tion of the Poor in the principles of the Established Church, held their Meeting at St. Martin's Vestry 'room. Present—the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Bon. Mr. Justice PARK, Right Hon. Sir Joint NicuoLl., and other Members ot the Committee. — Some fresh Schools were united to the Society, and some grants of money were made towards the erect ing, enlarging, and fitting up of School-rooms. - • - PROGRESS SF HIS MAJESTY; ON HIS RETURN TO ENGLAND. EINBECK, TUESDAY MORNING. His MAJESTY arrived at the hunting-palace of his Royal Highness the. Governor-General yesterday evening. It is called Rothenkirche, and lies about two English miles from this town. His MAJESTY travelled with speed, and was received by the people at each of the towns and villages on the route with the best exhibitions of affection. At Pattinsen, the young maidens of the village met the Royal carriage at the triumphal arch, where they sung the praises of the KING. Two of the prettiest of them presented his MAJESTY with a poem ; his MAJESTY took the children into his carriage and gave them a kiss each. Every village and town on the route was illuminated in the evening. The miners of his MAJESTY'S mines, and. the smelters of the Hertz mountains, came down to this place to display themselves before the KING. Their dress and their implements being such as are seldom seen in the open day, formed a grotesque but yet an interesting spectacle. GOTTINGEN, TUESDAY EVENING. The reception of his MAJESTY in this city, which possesses one of the most celebrated Universities in Germany, was of the most interesting description.— The University boasts of having produced some of the first scholars in Germany : its Professors are now highly respectable, and the number of Students es ceeds a thousand. The bustle of the town shewed that the Protector of the University was expected; and regulations were adopted which prevented all disorder. The Electors of HANOVER have for many years protected the only University in their domi nions; and the town gives proofs of their exertions in its favour. Its buildings, houses, and streets, are su perior even to those of the metropolis of Hanover. His MAJESTY left Itethenkirche soon after nine o'clock, and having passed through Einbeck and Nordheim, two pretty towns, arrived here about half past eleven o'clock. On the route there were many triumphal arches. After his arrival, his MAJESTY proceeded immediately to the Riding School in the exercise-ground ; there was a splendid tribune erected at the western extremity: it resembled, at a distance, a gland triumphal arch, but. on a nearer approach, the decorations of ancient armour shewed that it was designed for some spectacle. Over each of the wings were the effigies of a man clad in a coat of mail, with his visor down and his lance erect. It was fitted up with every convenience for sitting and for refreshment. On the north and south sides benches were erected for spectators, and cards of admission were given in order to prevent confusion. Eager to prove their attachment to the Kisro, the Students had assembled from all parts of the king dom, and preparations were made by them to do him every honour in their power. A guard of honour was formed out of their body, who, splendidly dressed, proceeded to meet his MAJESTY as far as Wende, and with his permission took charge of the Royal carriage as its escort into the city. His Marrary, having arrived at the entrance of the town, where the Chief Civic Magistrate and the Clergy were- prepared to receive their KING, was pleased to accept the key of the City. A Grand 'Triumphal Arch was erected, and a numerous train of young Females, dressed in white, each carrying in her band a festoon of variegated flowers, approached with a Poem, placed on a scarlet velvet cushion, which his MAJESTY was pleased to accept in the most condescending manner. During the morning the Students assembled in groups through the streets, but when the hour of the KING'S arrival approached, they all met by the order of the Heads of the University in a large court before the Library, where they formed into a line of four abreast, and marched onward to the house of the Pro-Rector. At their head were three young men, chosen to bear the flag of the body, which the Pro- Rector, at the door of his house, handed to them.— The Students shouted a Vivat ! and they continued their march to the Riding School. Having entered the exercise ground, they beheld the KING standing in the tribune; they made their obeisance before his MAJESTY, and then proceeded to take their places on the benches formed on the southern side of the ground. The Riding-master of the University then entered the ground, and approaching to the tribune, made his obeisance, and asked permission to exhibit the mode . of teaching horsemanship used in that school. The KING bowed assent, and a school horse was then led into the ground, when the Riding-master mounted him, and exhibited the precision and regularity of the movements to perfection. After the termination of this exhibition, Mr. AIME; the Riding-master, again approaching to the tribune, asked permission to give a specimen of his instruction. His MAJESTY having expressed assent, ten Students of the University, clad in the costume of the proud Knights of.Castile, mounted on well-trained horses, were introduced. At their head was the Hereditary Prince FUGGER they were divided into two parties; the second being led on by the son of Baron Blintz; the Minister at Hanover. Two quadrilles were then performed with great exactness to the measure of music. Then came the Carousel. A band was stationed at the end of the ground opposite to the tribune, which continued to play suitable airs during the per formance. The Knights then entered two by two, and each pair having proceeded to the front of the tribune, according to ancient ceremonies, made their obeisance to the KING. They then galloped on and bore off the ring with their lances. Having for a moment held the rings on the points of their lances in the' air, the Knights threw down their lances, and made a profound obedience to his MAJESTY. Some Turks, in effigy, who stood as their opponents, were soon deprived of their heads. The young cavaliers shot them off with great adroitness as they rode for ward at full gallop, and displayed them alternately to his Maaesry on the points of their lances and long swords. The Knights next rode a complicated quadrille, ac cording to the rules of horsemanship, and gave equal proofs of skill, as in the former exercise. The master of the school, Mr. MEER, next led a horse without a rider, which, with long reins, he taught to move in several of the complex movements of the Spanish school. By the command of his MAJESTY, the professor of riding, Mr. Marta, was called for ward to the tribune, 5 ` . ,3; . ..A • when the It as declared to hint his saicraction gratification at the exhibition. The D.ike of BRIDGE expressed himself also highly Prince FUGGER, the leader of the band 0 1 ' K„, 1:11 ., was next presented to his 31Asesry, w h o congTa.t.: lated him on the skill which . he and 11;., 1„ t! ..; Knights had displayed, and desired th at he v0i.,4 express those sentiments to them : One of the Royal carriages, open at t h e top, as then led into the circus, i n which his MAJEST Y to o k his seat, and accompanied by the Duchess of (4 4. BRIDGE and the Landgravint of HEs se proceeded through the town, to t h e . M us e um at I:, University. The applause of the p eop l e in every street, announced the appearance of the Rnill cz riage. Having arrived at the Museum, the ii he and the Princesses alighted, and proceeded to v i ew the cut iosities of the University. th e While his MAJESTY WaS havingg th e eiercist, ground of the riding-school, the stude nts, with one accord, shouted a vivat : they then formed i n same order as on their enlrance, and matched to th e Court before the Library and Museum, when they announced his MAJESTY'S arrival with the same feel. ings. Their band played I kit tureen* Krenig hal, and the students sung it aloud. The various Professors of the University, clad their robes, were presented to the KiNG i„ seum. Every appearance of his Dl:l,►esxti• tlr►w,i, the windows, was with shouts of ap r i athe t t the Students from without. After a claimy of about half an , I,lionvli:t n is i at o , scae% entered his travelling carriage, ir. out of the town, amid the %lona , : ail tl r pt•lpe, a t escort of the Students accompanied the lic, v 4 rine for a considerable distance out of the toa ,A salute was fired by the cannons on his Artai s NI • r leaving the gate. Preparations are making for a general tion, and various devices and transpaiencies now seen before the houses of the town. t!UNDEN, WEDNESDAY. • His MAJESTY travelled with the usual speed i i i Munden, through the most romantic part of the kingdom of Hanover, and arrived here early in the evening, as the distance from Gottingen is not mon than sixteen English miles. This is a most pretty town, and from its situation may with p;oprie be called the town upon the hills. The triumphal arch at the entrance of the town was splendirly huninated. His MAJESTY lodged in a private Lae in the town, nearly opposite to an old thatch, which reposed the ashes of two of his celebrated a. , cestors. In the course of the evening a numberef maidens assembled around the house, and songs beautiful and simple hymn, in which an allusion. the renown of the heroes of former days was ion. , duced to advantage. It may not be uninteresting to mention that tk effigies of those men of ancient times yet remits, and that they bear a strong resemblance to his pro sent MAJESTY. This is the last town in the kingdom of Hanove in which his MAJESTY will stop for a moment. Th boundaries of Hesse Cassel are within four or fie miles of this town. From this day, therefore, his M.s JESTY will be on foreign soil ; and this day he tan leave of the people of Hanover. That the people d Hanover wish again to see him, every peocin who travels through the country is well aware; that they love their KING none can doubt, although perhapsi expressing that affection they are not clamorous— Possessed of the richest language in Europe, they present to themselves the picture of their own feel ings in the strongest light ; satisfied within them selves, they are not clamorous from without. CASSEL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. His MAJESTY took leave this day of his Hatioreas subjects. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE aCCOMFEd the KING to the borders, where the Royal kaki took an affectionate leave of each other. The eau of Hanoverian troops • which. had accompanied Royal carriage returned to Munden, and the R. carriage was taken under the care of a troop Hessian Hussars. His MAJESTY drove rapidly into the beautiful: situated city of Cassel, and the Royal carriage pasd through the great square of the town, in which ral Regiments of Cavalry and Infantry were dta up to do honour to the KING Of GREAT BRITAIN. The carriage drove to the Palace, when the ELECT , surrounded by his Court, most superbly dressed, It ceived his MAJESTY immediately on his entrance. His MAJESTY went up stairs in the Palace, eke he took refreshments. The ELEcreEss and the Coo were in readiness to pay him every honour. Abel of most excellent musicians played God save the Kg, and several other beautiful airs, under the winhe of the Palace. A little after twelve o'clock his MAJESTY Oat from Cassel, accompanied in his carriage by ne Duke of CUMBERLAND and Sir WILLIAM KNIGNIS The last of the Hanoverian Cotirt Officers was the stairs as his MAJESTY was entering the caul " GOD bless you, my dear KILNIANSEGGE," said KING, " until I see you again !" The carriage el' drove off. The inhabitants of Hanover expect the arrital his MAJESTY among them at a more favourable se? son of 'the year. To judge of the pleasures ti! residence among them from three weeks spent Hanover in the month of October, would be an to' fair criterion. They were willing to affordtbe 6 i. sl every gratification, but the season operated a. them. The weather is still fine, and it is Pro' his MAJESTY will travel without rain. Every e'l is made by the Gentlemen of the suite to affordsate faction to the KING; the Hanoverian Post Inspec• c proceeds before the mite to Wetzlar, in ordertoble horses in readiness. The immediate regulation the carriages and stations is under the superino ance of Captain COODE, a Gentleman selected for' purpose by Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, on ac c t. . of his knowledge of the French and German guages. Captain Coons has hall much to pub': and the KING has declared his satisfaction at'' alacrity and attention displayed by him. MAUBURG, TIIVESD.I.
