This *D eft the market opened ti c w 4vi Consols at 70, ,ad have been rising ever sin ith little or no re-action, and are 'low 701 buyer' for the Account. The public seem to bo buying, and from the ge neral appearance, things look as If they would be better; but when a certain party consider them high enough, the bulls had better beware, as there eon he no doubt hut that the present rise is caused solely by immense speastation to get a higher prier tor Stork, and the present lint* of money gives them every facility to efibet their desired end. --.4.--_ The real seal exaggerated importance of the in sorrectionavy movements which have lately agi tated ar.d alarmed our otruatry, has prevented us from following closely the progress of the revolu tion in Spain. But as the greatest alarmists them -esters nnw confess that tranquillity is restored and danger removed, we shall area ourselves of a state of calm, which we sineerely hope may not be tem porary, to examine whether the Spanish Patriots have realized the expectations of their friends, or the calumnious aaticipetions of their enemies. Proscription and slaughter, we were Iptd by the French Ultras, would immediately follow the triumph of the national cause, sod regicide was darkly hinted at as an event for which it would be lierenannoble not to be prepared. Yet, when we look over the whole extent of Spain, we do not end that in any town or village, even where the agents of despotism were most severe in their exacticr.s, and most relentless in their cruelties, say sacrisce has been tiflbred to revenge.— We see. ii.ileed, men like ELIO, covered with the blood of murdered patriots, denounced by genteel °dirt, slid detained to answer far' their eiausidit the bar of *nit eountq ; bat we parcei,n,no individeni set, Ito popular tu mult, none of there ewe.* memetions, of which,' though the justice cannot be impugned, the manner ! itidiran an object of blame. Neither can it be mid, BM it is the prompt submission of the Illn l yttlists, Mid their abstinence from violence and Mooed, which has produced :I corresponding degree qt tenger on the part of their opponents. Never .. . i. t , greater provocations been offered to the feri as whole nation, than those which delivered the ihhabitants ofone of its principal cities, without ' ;TP l. lllllllllllolofligeorffeit.. le the sword of intoxicated td! In no other country upon earth would the massacre have been peniahed by other hands than those of an indignant and exasperated people. The course of the laws would have been suspended, and the horrors committed in the phrenzy of fanatic Royalism, 4miuld have been repaid with blood and flame in dill nay of popular insurrection. How lilt differeitt, * w' noble a spectacle of temper, respect to? "the laws and magnanimity, does not Spain present to an admiring world ! Even the wildest excesses of her oppressors, and the premeditate] assassination of her sons, have not been atle to turn her from the pure, steady , and impastable majesty of her course. Her eves are fixed on the attainment of Constitutional freedom : all other consideratiens are as dust in the helance, ht venge Is too tow a thought to be enter taistel ; it would Foliate and degrade the sublimity of her Views.. Revenge is, therefore, cast aside as a tainted gement, and all hearts unite in facilitating the sole object A% hicb is worthy of a lofty-minted :ted enlightened people. Such is the conduct of that nation. from whom nothing less than massacre and regicide were to be expected ! Such is i the rval:zntion of those prophecies, which soothed the diner; and excited the hopes of the legitimate Ultras fil „. - :•ince ! But let detraction lour forth L re .4l t i tic i a hi eu : . .t poison only serves to prove glod cause, and, as long the invulnerability of a as Spain pursnes her present eau:se, she needs not tear what man can say or do agsii=st her—the blessing of Ht :it en is nit her people. It was yesterday reported in the City, that C*7- thageea and Santa Martha had declared their in dependence, and to this it was added, that Ceraccas, had been taken. On inquiry, we found the re port was brought by a vessel from Jamaica, which place, it is said, she left on the 3d March, conse quently we aro unable to state what credit is due to it. The twu first circumstances may have hap _ pond, though we deem them extremely impro bable, from the state of things, when the accounts previously received came away ; but, u to tho capture of Caraccas, it could not take place with out long slid hard lighting, Morillos's lines were so formidable. Letters from Barbadoes, dated the Sth ifare,L, were received yesterday, but on this sub ject they are perfectly silent. We understand there are numbers of vessels in the mouth of the Channel, unable to make n port in consequence of the sudden prevalence of the N. E. winds; we may, therefore, expect soon to know with certainty what has occurred on the Spanish Main, either Lv arri vals from the West India Islands or the United States. The Ultra Journals announce, that the Duke Drones has written to the English Ambassador, stating that he will arrive at Paris on the 16th instant, and set out five days afterwards for Lon don.—(eonettfulionnei.)

TOWN OF GALWAY ELECTION, APRIL I3.—The majority of non-resideuts having increased so con siderably as to take away from the independent in habitants of this town the hope of obtaining the return from the Sheriff's books, it was deemed right not to subject the town to increased ex pense by prolonging the contest, and the booths were al!owed to close yesterday evening, and the Sheriff declared Mr. Prendergast elected.

We have received exclusisely from I's' ~ a letter, which announces the etistense of a very bad spirit in France. An incendiary paper had been posted lip in several parts of the city; a min was dis covered in the act. The method he tank to paste up the inflammatory article is new end curious. Ile carried a little boy in a box like the magrc lantern ; and while he leaned against the wall, as it to rest himself, the little boy drew back n slider, pasted on the paper, and shut himself lip again; and the man took a proper occasion to walk off to another restiow place.--(L'ith/in Patriot.) Lord Whitworth and the Duchess of Dorset have arrived at Paris from Italy. The appeal in the case of the Marquis of Lans downe, appellant, r. the Commissioners of Claims on France, respondents, was heard hebre the Privy Council on Friday last, when the award of the Commissioners was confirmed. Friday Admiral Mir W. Hope took his seat as One ! of the Lords of the Admiralty, in the room of Sir Graham Moore. A gun4tbarf is immediately to be formed in the dock-yard at Sheerness, and the range of buildings, 1 six stories high, nearly fronting the parade, at pre-, sent occupied by artificers be:onging to the yard, Is to be converted into barracks. , It is understood that Mitchell (tried at the Pon tefract Sessions), Wes prosecuted at the instance of Lord Fitzwilliam. _ A difference of opiiii^, o laving, lately prevailed ; betweett some of ttie Clergy of Bristol respecting OM !name!' of administering the Holy Sacrament, the venetaale Diocesan has addressed to them the following letter:— " Trim:44o4r. Castridge, March 30. " Reverend Sir—Having been informed, that several clergymen in my diocese have adopted nn irregular manner of administering of the Sacrament of the LOrd'si Sapper, by delivering the holy elements, and pro nouncing the words which accompany them to more than one person at one time: and having given the subject my most serious consideration, and consulted others of the Bishops thereupon, I must reinire all clergymen of my diocese to avoid the aforesaid irregular practice: to, lay it aside, if they have at ally flail* adopted it ; and to conform exactly, in this ease, as in all others, tu the di-' rections given in the Rubric. " I remain, Reverend Sir, " Your ever affectionate brother, Bans cm." The following is stated as a fact. whittli occurred a kw days ago in the garden of &gentleman in the vicinity of Bristol. Upon going to inspect his cucumber-frames, at an unusually early hour in the morning, he observed a stranger in conversa tion with his gardener, and overheard the follow ing dialogue : tiarileasr.—Sevea shillings Is the price of that cu cimher. Stranger.-1 can giveyou hat four fur it. Cartietier.—Ruhr shillings! I'll see yon d—d first; I trwild sooner my master should Lac it than sell it fur fair shillings. THE S 7 ATESNIA _ ~~. TEARS OF BRITAIN. Sweet Liberty, ones guardian of our Isle. On what new country dost thon deign to smile, Whlist we deplore thy absence from our sly. With heart-felt sorrow and with many a sigh: Say. cross the Atlantic Ocean hest thou fled, Disgusted wide us whom thy spirit fed. To other lands to impart the sacred dame. And task, proud tyrthets tremble at thy name? Fraud tenet Oppression non stalk hand in hand, Aid lordly Imola:nee assails the land. Alas! *Hat for the poor man now remain:. lint }aiming dungeons and tyrannic chains Tit. keenest force of hunger doomed to feel, Yet -nest Ms miseries and woes eoneeal. There was a time when Independence reign'd; The peasant tor Ms labour was maintain'd tontentwrent birse'd the cottage of the hind, And homebred joys of most endearing kind: Ambition ue'er disturb'd his peaceful breast. Round were his slumbers, and Ms soul at rest. Remote from town-, be led a peace:fill life, Far from the scenes of riot and of strife. How changed. ales? is now the poor man's Int, Famine and misery dire assail his cot ; To asides anti lordly pride he yields Tice lord-earn'd produce of the fruitful fields. In deep distress his wife and children pine. And eactl tad dly but sans Melt health decline; 'Till pluug'd uut;tuely In an early grave. No ey o to pity. and no hand to save. Farewell to rural mirth a n d pastimes, now No rosy smile illuraires twenty '1 brow : Rut sad dejection In emelt look eppesr4. And esery fare the mark of sorrow nears. While some prepare to bare their native shore, And part front friends, perhaps to meet no more; Still shedding tees and sorrowing as Caey en, 'Till England's shores re-echo with their woe. To distant climes they take their destin'd way ; Some to despair and madness fall a prey ; Others are landed in a savage clime, There doomed to languish out their youthful prime : Where the hot sun. ascessitng o'er their heeds, Oisesses dire and fell contagion sheds ; While furious monsters roans the woodland shade, And death in MI his terrors stands artay'd. There noxious plants and hissin/ snakes abound, And freely sbed their poisonous 'Pomo round: The travelitir treads the faithless grass with fear, Lest some apernum'd reptile harbours there. Oh! hadiperirst ; where 'Zephyr never strays, Thy vend & blaa:ed by the noon-tide rays. In vainlhplithappy wanderer looks around For mean t where no comfort's to hr found; 'Till daft In pity seals at length his doom, And buries all his sufferings in the tomb. 3. 5.0. We learn that there is not to be a Cuurt held at Carlton-house on Monday nest. His Majesty will come to town, but he means to go to Windsor to pay a visit to her Royal Highness the Princest Augusta. The Nobility and Gentry will leave their names at the Palace ; and the King means to open the new Parliament in person. It is sup posed this may take place on Tuesday next, the 2fith instant. Blast peesutraliun is making in lhe department of the Master of the Horse for lilt Majesty's going in state to open the new Parliament. In onitie fluent* of the Court Mourning, the state horses *ill not be decorated with ribbons as they gene rally have been upon these occasions. It is reported in the Court circles, that her R wal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester will hold a drawing-room at the palace of Buckingham-helium on the 27th instant. The anniversary Meeting of the City of Londe° School fur Adults was held yesterday evening, al the Friends' Meeting-house, White hart-court, Gracechureh-street. At seven o'clock Alderman Wood took the Chair, and opened the business of the Meeting in a short speech, by pressing the in terests of the Society, and moving, that the Re port of the Committee fair the last year be read The Report was read accordingly.

MIK'FROPOLITAN LAW SOCIETY.—This society, which wits instituted for the [addable purpose of promoting fair and honourable Practice in the pro fession of the law, held their annivenary dinner yesterday, at the Preemasons"lavern, William Leake, Esq. in the Chair. Between sixty and seventy members sat down to table. After dinner, " Now Nobio Domine" was given in excellent style by some first-rate performers. The toast of " The king" was, followed by that of " The Lord Chian eellor," " The Judges,'' " The 'Master of the Rolls," 1" The Vice-Chancellor," &c. Some eloquent speeches were made in reference to the object and progress oft Sm4lety, which. we are clad to firnl, is gaining a considerable accession of strength. Several new members were present; and Mr. Bick nell, the Solicitor to the Actin:J.4lly, attended, and was proposed as a member. A new Drama was brought out with success at the Norwich Theatre, on Thursday last. It is the production of a gentleman of that city. The story is founded on Mrs. Opie's Tale of the Ruffian Boy. The coincidence may be regarded as riot incu rious, that the place of Lieutenant of the Yeo men of the Guard, recently couferred on Mr. Coleman, the dramatist, was loag held by Natha niel Garrick, Esq., nephew and partly heir to the immortal Roscias of the British stage. Lord Bolingbroke, who is extremely fond of angling, caught last week, in the river Avon, near Christchurch, in a short time after he tad thrown is his lines, two salmon, one of which weighed IRO pounds—a remarkable circumstance so early in the season. As Mr. Miles, of Southfield, near Malswesbery, was walking lately by the side of the river with a favourite Newfoundland dog. the animal sud denly jumped into the water and caught a fine jack, weighing three pounds, which be Lrought to his ;Easter. ~,. •.
