Srock EXCIIANGt, 12 o'CLock.—Consols opened this fnorning with a brisk market at 911, and went up to I; but ~on after the market was damped by a respectable Broker .riling to a large amount, which caused them to lower to 99 7 ,—1 for the account and 902 for money. . - l'p to the present hour we do not hear of any express laving arrived from Paris, nor have we any reports in the City to depress the Funds. Private accounts from Paris state that M. Vilirle has conic to a determination to reduce the five per Cent. Recites to four per Cent.

We are not backward as a nation in complimenting our -Ives for our liberality and wisdom, and as far as general knowledge may be taken into the estimate, we have cer tainly some claim to that character. Yet it would appear that our progress in the science of Legislation, has by no means been either rapid or flattering. Last night in the Commons, Sir John Newport, called the attention of the Bonet() the Catholic rights of Sepulture,which he contend ed had been violated,unnecessarily and wantonly in Ireland. That such a subject should be required to be brought for ward at all, is rather a proof that we live in the times of itrlicrAft and necromancy, than in a boasted enlighten ed age. Yet in the whole range of human con cerns, no topic could be started more likely to arouse the angry feelings, anti inflame and exasperate the popular mind, than this one. To prevent the effects of a proceed ing calculated to produce so much animosity and discord in a country, which of all others, requires to be soothed by gentle measures and benevolent policy, into repose and tranquillity, Sir John moved for the production of papers nhich would enable the House to ascertain the steps that had been taken by the Irish Government, on this very ee heate subject. The Irish Secretary thought that such dis tlosure might lead to danger, and opposed the production if papers, which were eventually refused by a majority of 17 ; the numbers being 56 against Had this refusal born preceded in the ministerial speeches by any ex pression of regret for so gross an outrage on the natural feelings and best prejudices of the human heart, we should have less lamented the rejection cf Si r John's motion. It would have shewn at least, tha they had overcome the influence of bigotry, and had a common sympathy with the proscribed people. In the present state of the world, this is not a time, peculiarly aii‘pitious, fur the increase of prelatical power. The Church of Ireland, however well governed, leaves still abundant room for amendment, of which the refusal of the rights of Sepulture to the Catho:ic dead, forms no part . It is Cie purity of example in the Clerical dignitaries of the Irish Church—it is a kind and indulgent allowance to the weAcness of others, and an unceasing Christian bene volence to mankind, which can set them right with the distracted population of Ireland. As Sir John Newport still intends to move for the repeal of the Act of William the Third, we hope, on that occasion, he will meet with better success; for if there is a single existing statute, more "honoured in the breach than the observance" that is the act. 114 piece of petty outrage and ur.raanly is without parallel in England, but by a llourl on tnecdote,related by Buonaparte, seems to be well under tood in Prance. , 4 When I was at Elba," (says Buona pate) "an actress named Racour, died. She was greatly beloved by the public, and an immense concourse of people went to see her funeral. When they arrived at the church nf S t . litogoe, to have the service performed, they found the doors shut, and admission refused ; nor would they allow the Corps e to be buried in consecrated ground, from which they said she was excluded by her procession. She was 'Cry charitable, and the people with whom she was a Luorite, became so clamorous and turbulent against the priests, that Louis, much against his will, being informed of the tumult, ordered the corpse to be buried according to the church rites." In a 'New York paper of the 1011 ult. under the head of rtriligPnee from Canada, it is stared that the Legislature the lowir Piovince have parsed resolutions, declaring, 1 . I hat it is expedient further to regnlete by law the ial intercourse of the Province with the Uuited ts. 2, That the illegal import a ti on o f tea a nd E as t ' 11 :o goods from the Coifed States, is carriep on to an ex lOghly injurious to the revenue of the Province, and list the evil cannot be checked by law, and is entirely ° , !ng to the peat difference in the price of those articles %hen imported from England, or purchased in fhe "te(l States. Th e L eg i s l a t ure h a d, t h ere f ore, f art h er re sOlred to petition the British Government to authorize di _l'tt importations from India, by the inhabitants, through II! arrangement with the East India Company, or that 1 . 7 fray be permitted to supply themselves from the li ltrd States, on payment of a reasonable duty.

By the Cornwall, Captain Mon isnn, arrived at Liverpool from Bar tadoes. intelligence of a very Alarming nature has been received from Martinique, by which it appears that the mania of insurrection, so prevalent of late in the West Indies, has spread to the French colonies. Fortunately a timely discovery of the conspiracy has taken place, and the consequences which might have attended it have there fore, been prevented ; but if the accounts now received are authentic, this insurrection has been planned with a degree of sagacity ; and was to have spread so extensively, among the people of colour as well as the sla►e popu lation of Martinique, that it was evidently of a much more dangerous nature than any which have occurred in the British co:onies. The plot was revealed in consequence of a discovery made by one of the Mulattoes, that in the event of its success the property of the people of colour would not be respected, on which he gave information to the Government. The intelligence of the events at Martinique had eauied an or• der to be issued forpl•ci g Dominica under martial law. The Cornwall, which left Barbadoes on the 4th ult. has brought despatches for the Engiish Govrtnment. The followil4 is an extract from the Barbudoes paper of the 31st of December:— BRIDGE Tows, Dec. 31. "By the mail boat Eleanor, Captain Moffatt, which left Martinique 31011 , 18 y afternoon, and arrived here last night, we are hifermed of that island having been thrown into a serious state of alarm. Between 20 aud 30 free coloured people, all wealthy and respects )le, have been arrested, and sent from St. Pierre to Fort Royal on beard one of he frigates,where they are in close confinement. Some seditious corresponderce has been discovered which had been carried on by the malcontents with Europe, the English Islands, and St. Domingo. Indiscriminate massacre of the white inhabitants, and setting the town of St. Pierre on fire, were the diabolical means by which they intended to overthrow the Government. The vigilance of a French police, under the superintending hind of Providence, has frustrated this horrible conspiNey. A letter, it is said, was found, containing a reply from Boyer, the Chief at St. Domingo, to an application made by one of the conspirators for the assistance of soldiers. The netts of troops having arrived here from England, to keep in awe disaffected fel lows, and the opportune arrival of troops from France at Martinique, staggered their resolution, and appears to have induced them to put off the consummation of their revolu tionary scheme from the 17th of Decettilser, the day origin ally fixed on, until Coristinas-eve. But, in the mean time, the activity of the Executive, and the extreme watchfulness of the police, made such discoveries as completely arrested their career. Several coloured men had arrived there late ly from France, who had been distributing seditious pamph lets; and it l said that about GO of the coloured militia bad bees disarmed." THE KING. HRH:II7(IN, Friday, Feb. 11. The reply to enquiries at the Palace to-day as precisely the same as that of yesterday : " His Majesty continues better." Lord Byron and the flonoorab:e Leicester Stanhope, were recently et Zente, on a visit to that gallant young officer. Sir F. Stovin. the Governor. These intrepid patriots and trave:lers were then most sanguine in their hopes for the ulti mate suceesss of the cause of the Cheeks. ELOPEMENT AND HAPPY UNION.—MY: la • quarter past I I on Sunday night last, Mr. F. Ituti rtson (nephew to Mr. Robertson, Manager of the I.ircoln Compans of Comedians) and Miss Tindall, only child end heiress of Joseph Tindall, Esq. of Gre,nhill, Grantham, started from the latter place on a trip to Gretna Green. 'She young lady took a lover's leap out of the window of her father's nonsu into the arms of her swain. A carriage was in la ',king, and away they drove to consummate an ardent attaennen. of seven years' staudiag. The Lady was not missed until the breakfast hour on Alortlay. At about ten o'clock her father, accompanied by a gentleman who is said to wear the willow, set off in a cha6e and four in pursuit ; but as the young couple had ten hours and a half start, they arrived uninterruptedly at the Temple of Hymen beyond the li,irders, and were united indissolubly at two o'clock on 'fuesday morning. The happy pair were expected bad: at Grantham yesterday to receive the congratulations of :heir numerous friends, and the acknowledgment and benediction of the bride'. forgiving and wealthy father.—(Stan ford Mercury ) The proposed trial in Dalzell parish of Mr. Owen's System is at length fairly commenced. A number of workmen are constantly employed in spade labour digging and levelling the ground. Every one that chooses gets constant employment at 10s. a week, which, at this seam'', of the year, is a great benefit to labourers. Mr. Owen was personally present on Friday, supetintending the opera tions, and receiving estimates for the building of the Dew est sblishinent.—(Glas. Clorox) Two persons discussing the lowne•s of Mrs. S—'s origin, one of them was about to describe the barn in which she first acted, when the other took a sixpence from his pocket, and holding it up, exclaimed,— " For this the tragic muse first trod the stage !"

DARING BURGLARY, AND SHOCKING ACCIDENT IN CON SEQUENCE. — About five o'clock this morning, some thieves, supposed to be three in number. broke into the house of an oilman, in Houndsditch. An alarm was given, on the dis covery of them, by the cry of " Fire and thieves." The servant girl, who slept on the third flour, bearing the cry of " Fire," instantly jumped out of the window, and, on assistance going to her, was found quite dead. The body teas immediately removed to the workhouse. A young man id the house fired at one of the thieves, who escaped, after having his hat, which was left on the premises, shot through. TIIE STATESMAN COURT OF CHANCERY.—THIs DAY. —...agpor— COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. CONST V. HARRIS.---JUDGMENT. THEATRICALS. His Lonnsum on coming into Court this morning pro ceeded with giving judgment in this case, which conies before the Court in the form of a petition, and after alle;;- ing a violation o f th e d ee d o f 1812 ,as respects t h e appropri ation of the Theatrical Funds, praying the Court to ap point a receiver, and to order the defendants to mike full restitution for monies expended,contrary to the before cited deed, His LORDSHIP took up the question where be left it yesterday, & at great length proceeded to consider whether either by deed, or by tacit assent, the trust of 1812 had been abrogated, and finally decided, that it had not in either way, and that it yet remained a valid instrument, and in full force. In regarding the appointment of Mr. Robinson as treasurer, without consulting Mr. Const the holder of one eighth share, he was of opinion, that the de fendants acted wrongfully; and that it was questionable whether such appointment, could !justify Mr. Robinson in acting under their orders. fin Lordship went on to say, that in partnership concerns he always wished an amicable arrangement, if possible, and that the parties might become their own Chancellor. In the present instance, consi• dering the Injury that might ensue to the proprietors from a Chancery Management, or from Covent Garden Theatre being bought into Lincoln's Inn Hall, he would say, let the pro prietors .call a. Meeting, between now and next Monday se'nnight, to consider of the appointment of a Treasurer, to execute the trusts of the deed or 1812, and let the proceedings of that Meeting be reported to this Court, and in the mean time let the funds of the theatre be appropriated no other way than iu obedience to the deed of 1912. DarRY-LANC.—Missinger's admirable Play of " A New Way to Pay Old Debts" was performed here last night. The character of Sir Giles and Metall have seldom been more ably represented than they Lave been by Kean and alunden. In the course of the evening the Duke of Glou cester was recognized by the audience in a private box, and warmly greeted with applause. COVENT-GARDEN.—After the opera of Clari, which was well acted and well received, a new farce, entitled " The Poachers," was performed. From various circumstances there is reason to suppose it to have been a French piece adapted to the English stage; but, be its orizin what it m it fully attained its end, if the end offirree be, as Dr. Ilurd says, to excite laughter. The piece involves a se ries of very comic mistakes, arising from the determina tion of a certain widowed Countess (Mrs. Cbatterley) to fathom the character of Baron Wolecnstein (Mr. Jones), on whom her brother wishes to bestow her band. She proceeds in military costume to her brother's estate, and discovers that both be and her intended are unbridled poachers on their neighbours' matrimonial mar os. Sbe is induced to personae Grizette, the betrothed of Sour craut, an old farmer (Mr. Blanchard), who has been guilty of deer-stealing, and she proceeds to the Castle for the par pose of pleading on behalf of her supposed good man. Here much agreeable confusion occurs. The farmer chuc kles at the amorous attentions which he sees paid by the Count and Baron, to one whom he supposes to be a young officer in disguise; but at length after &soot! deal of four beric the widow is confessed to be the Count's sister, while the Baron is recognized as the brother of the Countess. The Baron, who bad of course fallen in love with his sister-in-law, is honoured with her band, and the piece con cludes with a laughable exposition of the delusions under which all the parties had been labouring. It is a lively and spirited farce; at times a little too indelicate in its allusions; but always full of life and cheerfulness. It went oil in the best manner. As proofs of the mildness of the season. • bird's nest was taken by a boy at %Vetherby on the 26th ult. of the hedge-sparrow kind, sith two eggs in it; and we under stand that Mr. F. Pickersgill, carrier, of Ainderbury House, Deeming Lane, has green peas in his garden, and also has a quantity of lambs.—(Leeds Paper.) ANOTHER MURDER NEAR KNARESBRO'. Extract of a letter received this morning from our cor respondent at York, dated Feb. s: Another foul murder is supposed to have been committed bete een Leeds and Knaresbrough, within tb se last few days. On Monday week a young man of the name of Prigg, a gardener at Knaresbrough, left his home for the purpose of receiving 25/. of Mr. John Richardson, of Leeds, who bad engaged to meet him at Kirk Drighton, near Wetherby. Having obtained the money, he set out on his return borne. A 4 he was proceeding along the road, he was met by two ill-looking fellows who attempted to jostle him as they passed. Suspecting from their con duct their evil intentions, he withdrew from the cause way, and entered a riblic.house at Ribston ; where he mentioned his apprehensions, and said he would wait the arrival of a friend who bad promised to meet him there, and accompany him to; Knaresbrough. Prig remained in tida house until near nine o'clock in the evening, %ben thinking it p issible that his acquaintance lead for g..tten his engagement, and apprehensive that his f - wily might feel uneasy at his protracted absence, he determined to proceed to Knaresbrough by himself.— Previous to his departure he described minutely to the larrilady, the persona and dr of the men who had ter rified him in the early part of the evening. He then took his leave, and has not since been heard of. On Wednesday the 2.3 th ult. a pocket-book with Prigg's name in it was picked up in a wood adjoining te road, about halt a mile from Rib stun ; but the finder not knowing any person of that name, did not mention it publicly. Tice pocket-book contained only a letter and an acknowledgment written with a black lead pencil, of the receipt of 231. Subsequently a neckliandker chief end a gardener's knife (both of which have been identified •s the propertyofPrimwere discovered near the same spot. The absence of the unfortunate man dill not, in the first instance, alarm his sister, who keeps his house for him, for as he was in the habit of visiting a young woman at Wakefield, she naturally concluded that he had gone there for a few days. The discovery of the pocket-book and other property, however has, of course, given eke to strong suspicions that he his been foully dealt with. The constables of Knaresbrough, Rihston, and Deightun, have comemenced a vigilant search after the body, but hitherto without success. The river Nidd has been dragged and the wood has been explored, but no trace of his body has hero discovered. W. L. F. Scott, Esq. at tended at Minton on Monday to take depositions. Consi derable suspicion attaches to a man who tesided in a neigh hooting village, and who is supposed to be connected with a gang of poachers and game dealers in Leeds. This per son, who was aware that Prigg bad some money to receive from Mr. Richardson, is known to have left his home on the evening of the unfortunate gardener's disappear ance. A warrant for his apprehension has been issued. A few days ago a large piece of coal completely cover ed with cockleshells was found in one of the coal-pits of the late lir.

The horsemen could not get admission into the Park, he soon leaped over the high paling, came out again, and re -crossed the Thames ; the sportsmen went over Hatchet Bridge and fol lowed to the right near Lord James Murray's house, by the Thames side, where he was taken after above two hours and a half good running.
