[FROM A COILRESPONDENT:i STOCK EXCHANGy i Half-past Twelve o'Clock. At the opening of the above Market this morning there Was a great deal of bustle, in consequence of several Expresses having arrived from Paris, bringing the French Funds 85 f. 50 c., and Spa nish 43.44.—1eft off at 45.—Consols opened at 78-14, and up to this hour they are 78f 1. A greut deal of business was doing in the Foreign Market.—lt is reported that the Ministers of Austria, Russia, and Prussia, have left Madrid. FOREIGN MAttares.—ln consequence of t e fall of Spanish Bonds at Paris, the above Market opened this morning at 47, got up to 48, lowered again to 47+ .1, at which price they are up to this hour. Our Readers, from the publication of the note of M. de VILLELE, of the Verona Circular from Austria, , Russia, and Prussia, and of the notes of those three Powers to their Ministers at Mad rid, are now iu possession of all the official light, except that which may still be derived from the !I' answers of the Spanish Government, respecting the great question of peace or war with Spain. The Notes of the three Powers justify all the opinions which we had formed as to the proba bility of the termination of peace. They abuse, in good set terms, the Spanish revolution, praise most liberally the royal virtues of FERDINAND VII., eulogize the courage, the patriotistn, s and the honour of the noble Spanish nation, and express an ardent., desire for the restoration of the litt4a to his former power ; but they say not one word as to any intention to carry their arms into the Spanish territory. One of the Notes, indeed, hints, that it is probable that France will resort to the employment of force for the purpose of realizing the wishes of the Allies; but the Notes, as is evident from their dates, ‘4 ere written before its present pacific views were adopted by the French Cabinet. We can not see that the Notes of the three Powers have been intended to effect any other object than that' of inducing the Spaniards themselves to rise and overthrow their existing Constitution. They are evidently addressed, not to the Government, but to the people of Spain ; and we must say that both the intention and the means employed are jesuitical and dan gerous. Our Readers will see from our Voreign Intelligence, that the Cortei united with the Ministry in firmly and indignantly repelling . the dictation of the Allied Sovereigns. FRENCH FUNDS.—J AN. 16.

The Lpictatem Oriental of Smyrna has a long article on the affairs of the Greeks, whom it reproaches for rebelling a gainst the mild sway . of the Turks ! ! ! OA Friday l ast was held, according to ap lh3intment, a County Meeting at Hereford, to consider of the distress of the Landed and Agri- cultural Interests. We are fully sensible of the importance and utility of County Meetings ; and the recent one at Hereford seems to have been conducted with a degree of propriety and deli beration which must add weight to the opinions expressed by the Freeholders. We have thought it our duty to insert in this day's Paper a copious report of the proceedings at the Anniversary Meeting of the Reading Association for securing the Purity of Election, which has occupied so much of our space that we must defer till to morrow the insertion of the detailed accounts from Hereford. We can only state for the present, that, after the business of the Meeting had been opened in a very able speech by Lord SOMERS, the Lord Lieutenant of the County, a set of Resolutions were proposed, which were read by Mr. PATTERSHALL, and seconded by Sir Hoskm. On the first Resolution being moved by the former Gentleman, Mr. COBBETT proposed that it should be set aside, and that the• Meeting should adopt a Petition, similar to that of Norfolk, with one introductory para graph, which was not in that Petition. This was seconded by Mr. PeALMER, of Ballitree Castle ; when another set of Resolutions were read by Mr. Surrnres. 'Subsequently a Petition, diffe rent from Mr. Coneerr's, was proposed by Mr. CHARLTON ; and Mr. PATTERSHALL having moved to withdraw the Resolutions he had pre viously proposed, his motion was carried. The Lord Lieutenant proceeded to put Mr. CHARL TON'S Petition as an amendment upon Mr. Coe aErr's Petition, which was carried in the affirma tive ; and the Meeting was dissolved. The following Ministerial changes have, we understand, been determined on.:— Mr. BRAGGE BATHURST retires; Mr. VANSITTART takes the Duchy of Lancaster; Mr. Far DERICK Rourxsort is to have the Chancellorship of the Exchequer; and Mr. usYassoN is to succeed Mr. RonigsoN as President of the Board of Trade. Other changes will, of course, be necessary. —(lltarning Chlonicle.) Arrangements are made for the KING leaving Brighton for London, a few days previous to the day appointed for the meeting of Parli ament , to hold a C ounc il, an d to open the Session of Par liament in State. On Saturday Mr. DANIELS, the King's Mes senger, left town with dispatches from the Fo reign Office for Paris. The Gentleman appointed to the foreign mis. sion at Madrid is Mr. Writ. TuaNER, one of the principal clerks at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs. Mr. TURNER left town on Friday night to proceed on his mission. Mr. MATES, the King's Messenger, who left London some (lays since with dispatches for Sir Wm. A'Coun.T, our Minister at Madrid, had in structions to proceed with all speed first to Paris, to overtak e L or d F . SOMERSET there, with extra dispatches for his Lordship. Mr. ABERNETHY has addressed, it is said, a letter to the Secretary of State, on the absolute necessity of repealing the late Act of Parliament which subjects Resurrection-men (as they are called) to severe punishment f or v i o l at i ng the sanctity of the tomb. Under the present re strictions dead bodies are become very scarce in London, and some of the dissecting rooms are absolutely without an adult subject. FROM PERNAMBUCO.—By the arrival, at Mar tha's Vineyard, of the schooner George, Captain DOANE, in 33 days from Pernambuca, we under stand that that city was in great confusion, that most of the European troops who were stationed for the defence of the place had been ordered home, and those who remained in garrison were closely watched. The troops were under arms, in consequence of a change having taken place in the Government. A new President had been chosen. Accounts from all parts of the Continent con. cur in describing the weather as extremely. severe at present. In the south of .France, a thing somewhat unusual, they have had a very heavy fall of snow. In Switzerland, and in Italy, the roads are nearly impassable from the quantity of snow on the ground. In the north of Europe—that is, at Hamburgh, Copenhagen, and Stockholm, &c.,—they are exp er i enc i ng a degree of cold 7or 8 degrees elow the Zero of Reaniur. It is mentioned in a private letter from Mar seilles, that the Cornmander of a British ship of War was so delighted with the intrepid bravery of the (heck Sea-Officer Illruntri.rs, who had a second time blown •up the Turkish Admiral's ship, that he had presented hi m w i t h hi s sword, as a tribute of hi s respect and admiration: It is rumoured, that, with a vier to assist Trade, a 'West India Company will be organised next Sp r i ng in theßaltic. His Serene Highness the Landgrave of Hesse liomburg, has recently contracted with Mr. Gold., the Banker, of Frankfort, for a Loan of half a million of Florins about 50,0001. sterling. The Court of Session met on Tuesday, after the Christmas vacation, when Mr. JOHN HOYE presented his MAJESTY'S commission, appointing him Solicitor-General for Scotland, in the room of the late JAMES IVEDDERBURN 7 Esct. and took the oaths and his seat within the Bar. 111 health, arising, we hear, from over-study, prevented Mr. Hope from presenting his Majesty's Commission earlier to the Court, as it has been some time in his possession—( Edinburgh Courant, Jan. 10.) _ 1:11C ROYAL LIBRARX.—it is With the most sincere and pleasurable feeling of congratulation that we an nounce the gratuitus presentation by his Majesty, of the Royal Library to the British Museum. This patriotic and public-spirited gift was accompanied with a letter to Lord Liverpool, written by his Majesty's own hand.— We honour the liberal and high-minded sentiments from which this Royal benefaction proceeded, and the Nation, we are sure, will estimate it as it deserves. The scholar and the man of letters, every lover of literature, and every friend of. learning, will in distant ages throw back their recollection to the reign of that Monarch who thus gave them access to a store of most curious and valuable works in all languages, which private industry could never have collected, nor individual opulence have procured.--It was only by A SOVE. ItEIOX that such resources of erudition could have been added to the public stock ; and we feel s pride as Englishmen, in boasting such an act of munificence from George the Fourth.-- (British Press.)

KING'S TUEATRE.—The higher orders begin to assemble at this place of fashionable resort, and a very numerous and elegant audience at tended. on Saturday last.—The Opera of La Garza Ladra was repeated, and Signor Poaxo confirmed the favourable opinion • which his first performance excited. His fine voice appeared to more advantage, and he seems very capable of being a powerful support to the Comic Drama.-- CAMPORE3E, CURJONI, and Madame VEsTais, exerted themselves very successfully. The new Ballet of L'Offrande aux Graces was more striking. than at first. The attitudes and group. ing were very interesting, and the story is clearly made out. The last. scene is uncommonly pic turesque and spleflid, and was very much ap. • plautled.

How keen and ruthless is the storm ! Stern Winter in its bitt'rest form ! Long cheerless nights, and murky days ! No sun-beam gladdens Illis'ry's ways ! The frost has stopp'd yon village-mill, And Labour, ev'ry where, stands still ; Ev'n birds, from leafless groves withdrawn Fall, torpid, on the frozen lawn— No more, in Spring, to greet the morn, Or build their nests in yonder thorn ! Loud howls the wind along the vale ! Shipwreck and death are in the gale ! Lorn, weary trav'lers, as they go, Are wilder'd in the trackless snow, Groping, in fearful dread, between Deceitful ice, and gulphs unseen ; Lest, after all the dangers past, The next sad step should be their last ! To town or city if we turn, What numbers weep, what numbers mourn ! Unshelter'd sons of Toil and Care, Cold, shiv'ring, comfortless, and bare ! Poor seamen, erst in battle brave, Ilalf-famish'd, sinking to the grave ! Sad g►roupes, who never begg►'d before, Imploring aid from door to door ! While helpless Age, too frail to roam, Is perishing, for want, at home ! Hard fate, when poverty and years Assail us, in this vale of tears, Till Death, the dismal scene to close, In pity, terminates our woes ! O ! ye, whom PROVIDENCE bath blest, With wealth to succour the distrest, 0 ! lend your help in time of need ! The naked clothe—the hungry feed, And great, from 111:AV',X, shall be your tneed !

Extract from the Ten/h Annual . r of Me National School, for Me County o Leicester. The Committee, on a Review o their exertion at the close of the tenth year, feel themselves entitl e d t o congratu l ate the friends of this Institution on its success in this county. And though they regret that any part of it should still withhold its adoption of so improved a plan of Education, jet they cannot but rejoice that. so much good has been done.— During a period in which unusual pains have been taken to disseminate the principles of Division and Infidelity, this So- ciety has been actively employed in trainin up the Children of the poo r t o un d erstan d an d to practice the duties of their station; to fear God and honour the King; to be useful mein. bent of civil aociety,and conscientious members of our National Church. At an epoch so pregnant as the present with danger to the moral as well as to the political interests of the community, ad ditional vigour should characterise the movements of the friends of our establishment. The Committee cannot but remark, that institutions of this nature are eminently adapted to coun• teract the insidious efforts of the enemy, and it is hoped that such a cause will obtain, as it merits, the zealous support of those who have power to appreciate the value of the dearest in. terests of humanity. Of the efficiency of the Central School, open as it is to the inspection of every visitor, and particularly to the examination of this meeting s it will very Tittle become the Committee to express any opinion, but they have for years lamented that this School has been inadequate to the reception of all the children, especially of boys who have solicited to be admitted into it. After various fruitless attempts to obtain ground to enlarge it, they submit to this Meeting that the re. maininsportion of the ground granted to them by the C r own, and originally intended to be the site of a house for the master, be now appropriated to the enlargementof the school ; which will be every way practicable, by adding the girl s scho o l to th a t of the boys ; and building a suitable room at the lower end for the girls.' Al estimate of the expence of carrying this plan into execu, tion, was submitted to the Meeting, the direction and manage meet of which was referred to the Select Committee.

Commissioner WOOLLEY is appointed to Chat• ham Dock-yard, to succeed Commissioner Sir Robert Barlow, superannuated. The Lords of the Admiralty ha've promoted Lieutenant NV. B. Bowyer to the rank of Commander in the Royal Navy for his active exertions during the last three years on the coast of Hampshire and Dorsetshire, as Inspecting Commander of the Coast Guard. Captain Bowyer is succeed in the command by Captain Freemantle, R. N. The Pheasant sloop of war, Captain Clavering, is on her way to England from .the West Indies, and her arrival is daily expected. His Majesty's sloop Trinculo, 18 guns, was commissioned at Portsmouth on Monday by Capt. Rodney Shannon. Lieut. Frederick is appointed to her. She is to be fitted for the Home Station. lOn Thursday last a vessel, called the Britannia, of Woy. mouth, was seized, and sent into Portsmouth, by the Carneleon sloop, Lieutenant Witham, for having been at Cherbourg without a licence. The Owen Glendower, 46 guns, Commodore Sir Robert Mends, is the only ship of war at Spithead. Sir Robert is waiting his final orders to' proceed to resume the command of the squadron on the coast of .Africa. PORTSAIOUTII.-it is said to be in contemplation to deepen and widen the entrance into Portsmouth Harbour. A Com mittee of Gentlemen, consisting of J. Whitbey, F.R.S. Messrs. Walker and Rennie, Civil Engineers, and Capt.

SINGULAR WAnEa.---On Friday five sovereigus were actually sold on London -bridge for a penny a piece. The fact was, two Gentleman in the City laid a eonstderable wager as to the number of sovereigns which should be sold in one lieut., by two boys, on the bridge, wh o o f course were not in ' the )q,:. cret. A number of the true coin were put in the aids of two saucepans, and the bOys placed on the bridge to dispose of them, as the Jew.boys do medals ; and the result was, as we, have stated above, that only five were disposed of. We under stand that one thousand guineas was the venture between the parties. Many of our readers will probably recollect that th e. same thing was done in Paris, and with the sane success. L. is mentioned, we believe, in Mercier's Tableau de Paris.-2 ( New rinses.) Some time ago, a French soldier, addressiug himself to an old Austrian grenadier, said, How happens it, comrade, that we who are boys, al -1 ways beat men like you Because,' replied the grenadier, t you are boys commanded by' men, and we are men commanded' by boys.' DREADFUL FIRE NEAIt THE ELEPHANT AN D , CASTLE.---ADOUt three o'clock yesterday moraa ing an alarming fire broke out in the house of Mr. Moss a cheesernonger, immediately opposite the Elephant and Castle, in the Walvvorth-road, which in a very short time communicated to the, next house (a corner one) occupied by Mr. Clapp, a confectioner and pastry-cook, and shortly afterwards, from Mr. Clapp's house to the house of Mr. Callaway, a fruiterer, in the entrance of the Kent-road, all of which were destroyed.—T he tlil ferent families had a narrow escape for their lives some of them were severely hurt in the attempt to save themselves. Mrs. Moss, the wife of thtcheeSe• monger, where the fire commenced, in atteMpting to escape from , her bed-room, was dreadfully hurt by the fall. Mrs. Clapp had otlly time to save herself in her night dress, leaving under her pillow '1,5 sovereigns, and a much greater se n t its Bank-notes, which had been taken in the course of Saturday. Very little property was saved. On Tuesday evening, about eleven o'clock, a person from the neighbourhood of Huddersfield, was so incautious as to wander out intathe streets of this town in a state of intoxication, with a large sum of money in his possession. Somewhere in the neighbourhood of Deattsgate he met with ,a abwboooomuka who t , o h o i which cont a ined , in co n t riv edt iifivee tagocuci: k s a t rct.la notes po c k e tol s of thef c c t o tat h is, of Newcastle-under-Lyme, two bills, amounting to about 2001. and a quantity of Bank. of Eng land notes, making the whole stun about 1,600/. not ‘the least trace of which has since been tlis covered.--(Manchcster Guard(an.)
