We do not learn that any news from Spain has been received by this conveyance. It is thought in the City that a Negociatiou is on foot for the surrenderof Cadiz. CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this morning at 828, and got up to 83k to 1, at which price they remain steady up to this hour. FOREIGN Matta ET.—Little has been done in the above Market this morning. A New Re gency Loan has been contracted for at Paris at 60, and the Contractors are using their efforts to segociate part of it in our Market. We are informed, from a respectable quarter, that the Contractors of the Colombian Loan are daily expecting arrivals from Bogota with the ratification of the old Loan, and that the new erne will be contracted : for, the price of which will not fall.short of .80. Immediately on the receipt, yesterday tnorri , ing, of a copy of the Report of the Committee of the House of Commons on the West India Doclu, we hastened to request the attention of the Public to a document which is of great im portance, not only to the West India Dock Company, but, by the principles of Political Science involved in the decision, to every class of the people, separately considered, and to the best and most substantial interests of the Empire at large. Since our last, lee have given a further examination to the Re port, and we hesitate not to affirm, as our delibe rate conviction, that we have never read any paper of the same length, the reasonings contained in which were more fallacious and inconsistent, or built upon an assumed principle which is more unsound in theory,or more mischievous in practice. Our observations yesterday were chiefly re stricted to the consideration of this assumed and spurious general principle. The whole of the question as to the merits of the West India Dock Establishments, and as to the advantages derived from them to the State,and to the Commerce of the Country,as well as to the Company of Proprietors, is not only conceded by the Committee of the House of Commons, but is accompanied on their part with an almost unqualified eulogiutn,more than once repeated, and of which the follow ing expressions, quoted from the Report, form a part : " Much evidence has been adduced to show the perfection of the system, and the value of the regulations introduced and practised in the management of the West India Docks ; and the effect produced by them in affording security to the collection of the Revenue, protection to the property of the merchant, and facility in the conduct of his business.— With some slight exceptions in the latter point, your Corn tnittee ate disposed to give a ready concurrence to all the claims preferred by the Directors of the Dock Company on this head. Both from' the evidence they have received, and from their personal observation, they can venture to state, that no Etta• blishrnent of the kind can, in their opinion, surpass, in these partkalars, tau Establishment of the (Vest India Docks : but it is not the positive excellence alone which it is their duty to consider—it is f the comparative, or rather erclusivc excellence, belonging to them, that must be regarded, and by which the grounds of their decision are to be furnished." What, then, are the grounds ou which an un favourable decision has been formed against an establishment, thus acknowledged to possess " positive,"" surpassing," anti even" exclusive cx• edlence ?" They are simply these,—that it has been asaumed ) in the teeth of all experience ) that " open competition, wherever practicable, is ad vautageOus to the Public,". and that- it has been asserted, we hesitate not to -say without any real foundation in truth, that :"Tthe" .. competition" is admitted, and generally iwcog nized, as benqficial!" As this fallacy forms one of the principal bases of the pernicious theories which arc sapping 11w foundations of the commercial pre-eminence and naval power of the country, at the same tune that they are threatening the interests of the West Indio. Docks (in themselves of sufficient importance to warrant. the strongest efforts for their preservation,) it is necessary that it should be completely. exploded. And that is a task which can be performed with very little difficulty. It is only necessary to refer any individual to the persons with whom he comes 'in contact, of whatever class or profession they may be, for the strongest possible proofs that the 4 principle of open competition," bo far from being generally recognized as beneficial, is, on the contrary, without a single exception universally character4ed 0.1 pernicious, depre. cated with alarm, and rejected with • horror, if not, as has been too often the case, resisted with violence and even with bloodshed !-From the lowest class of labourers up tti the most powerful and wealthy of the great Public Compa nies of the country--from the journeyman mechanic, through all the gradations of the community, up to the Agricultural Interest and 'the leaders of the Aristocracy themselves; there is but one con viction, arising from the constant practical obser. vation of them all, and from a long-continued and dear-bought experience, that the effect of compe tition, in their respective concerns, is never bene ficial to their interests, but on the contrary, is always hurtful, and often absolutely ruinous!-- We repeat, that all experience proves this truth, and that all men may be referred to for its con firmation ! How is it, then, it may he asked, that a Committee •of the . House of Commons can have been betrayed into the sanction of a fallacy, and into , the declaration of an .un sound' principle, .on the mere authority of th e: ' Spurious sChool in Political Economy, and in 41e fiance of the experience . of the Members of that Committee themselves ?—How is it, we may ask in our turn, that the 'same Committee have tie scribed the mischievous principle which they have so sanctioned, asa principle the truth of which is generally admitted, although the Very purpose for which •they were assembled, preVed that' the truth and psactical 54441 y of the supposed principle were in fact contested by the West India Docks Com• pony, and although the petitlima almost daily presented to the House of Commons, from some one party or other, furnish an almost continual succession of proofs, that no one as sumed principle is more generally or pertina ciously denied ? We shall resume this subject at an early oppor tunity.—ln the mean time, we beg to refer our Readers to an able communication in our present paper, in which the question, more psr ticularly as affecting those important establi,sh ments, the West Intik Docks, is lucidly treated, and the further elucidation of which, by the tmtne intelligent writer, will be continued from tittle to time in the columns of this Paper. There is a most indecent allusion t(i His MAJESTY in an Opposition Paper of this l'Aty re lative to an Expatriated Beau, who has some years been resident at Calais. The writer of the paragraph in question reflects upon his rtliAJEsTv for not " commanding the presence of hi a ancient Companion to dinner," as he passed thrqugh Ca lais. Surely the writer is not aware of the pre. sumptuous levity of which the person alluded to was guilty when he had last the hoaour, of dining with his AIAJ ESTI' in London, and which may well account for his dismission from 'the Royal. table, and the want of all future ioiritations.— This story, and a subsequent aneirdote of the same nature, has been generally current, and was never contradicted. llnt what will the Opposi. Lion writer say when he hears that there is rea son to believe that the Expatriated Beau derives his support at this moment ftom the Royal bounty, supplied with equal delicacy and bene. licence ! Lord fl wenn') leaves NMI in the course of the ensuing week for Lisbon. It has been re ported that that able General is about to resume his command of the Portuguese army. This, iv.mitively to contradict. however, we are enabled llis Lordship goes for the express purpose of winding up his accounts with the New Ministers, and will return home in two or three months. Notwithstandiug the demolition of nearly all the fine Colleges, and splendid Churches at Douay, it still rema ins one of the neatest, cheap est, and most comfortable towns in France. A CERTAIN MUTLIOD OF KILLING lIOKNETS. Last week a great uumber of hornets having made their nest under the roof of a thatched cottage, within afew miles of A hergavenny, the cottager(not a little annoyed by this unexpected intrusion) de termined on getting rtd of his visitors, and accord ingly thrust a red hot poker under the thatch. — The hornets were certainly destroyed ; but un fortunately the cottage took fire, and was burnt to the ground.--(Cambrian.) . , • ' .. 1 . ,, 1 . 6 h „ . f I P , nr-.l—. ."1 4 4 1 II • '2 4. -,- - r"f .'

WiNnson, SEPT: 10:—The KING, I am happy to inform you, vlotinues in excellent health and spirits, and has formed the necessary arrangements for removing from the Lodge, but the precise time of removal, as I have already stated, is not yet known.--Every thing indicates that it is his Majesty's inten• tion to make a permanent stay at the Castle. Orders have been given to sell by auction the materials of a building facing the Castle-gate, called the Upper Lodge. This, when effected, will leave the extensive view from this quarter unobstructed ; and it will also enable a private road to be made from the Cot. tags to the Castle, which is now in actual progress. It is to be a continuance of the Long Walk, through the Little Park to the usual portal, •the entrance of which hitherto has required that a portion of the town should be traversed. HIS MAJESTY'S CORONATION FLEET. No establishment has of late done more to increase the taste for nautical displays titan The Coronation Fleet. This is, we I believe, the tirst'yeer of its formation ; and it has already be. ,• stowed three silver cups and covers on the successful candidates at as many different sailing matches. This Club has now as. slimed an appearance of stability which we sincerely hope will prove lasting. Its Commodore has received permission to wear a peculiar set of flags, and moreover has been complimented for his indefatigable exertions by many of our Naval Officers high in command and responsibility. - We are desirous to no tice the Ann establishment of such a Society, from the tendency it has to increase loyal feeling, and the best of all sentiments— & love for, our grand national bulwarks, the British Navy. The Members of this Society now amount to about one bun. dred and forty, and among them are enrolled many Gentlemen of high tank and consideration. • On Tuesday evening the Commodore, Edward Nettlefold, Esq. was presented with a very-elegint gold medal, which had been voted to him in a handsome Resolution, for his services in founding the Society, and the unceasing zesl with which he had forwarded its interests: The national arms were engraved on one side, and an appropriate inscription on the other. The season has, generally speaking, been unfavourable for water excursions, and yet the matches, sailed and pulled have been infinitely more numerous and better contested than on • most former occasions. Yesterday was fixed for the last ex cursion which the Members of -this Society 'and their friends were to make down the Riyerdttringthepresent season, and Sir E. Banks and Mr. Jolla:, with their- usual kindness, tendered the Earl of Liverpool steam-packet, Which was, of course, gratefully accepted.

T herinunp - was extremely amusing ; it was flood tide; a variety of merchant vessels were making for the grand emporium of Commerce, and the whole appearance of the river was exceed ingly beautiful. The toasts after dinner breathed naught but loyalty and satisfaction ; and an elegant silver prize-cup received upwards of four bottles of claret, in which the company pledged the winner, Biehard Throughton, Esq. with the utmost good will and merrit»ent. • , • The packet arrived off' the Towet atairs about seven, when she was illuminated, and the company' remained on board dancing and enjoying titeneselvea until a late hour.

VA I:HALL—Last evening the Proprietors of this elegant place of amusement presented the public with a splendid Fete, arranged on a very extensive scale, uniting all the attractions of those which have been given on former occasions. We never saw a more fashionable and numerous attendance; the various entertainments for which this pla ce i s so ce lebrated, were again exhibited with undiminished effect to groups of happy specta tors, who testified their approbation by repeated plaudits. The fineness of the weather, on which this amusement so much de petals, contributed to render the scene still more pleasing. The various popular comic songs received as much laughter and applause as usual, many of them being loudly encored. Miss Tunstall, who is improved in every respect, sang delightfully ; she is deservedly a very great favourite. Air. Blackmore again displayed his wonderful evolutions on the . slack rope, anti by his daring and surprising efforts afforded sonic of the tender hearted part of the spectators an opportunity of dirilaying their sensibility. The Ballet was extremely well got up; the Mi. nuer de to Cour and Gavotte were introduced by two juv en il e performers, and very neatly executed. The fireworks con cluded the evening's amusement with their accustomed brit liancy. ROMEO COATES.—This morning the above singular Gen tleman was married at St. George's, Hanover-square, to a lady named ROBERTSON, of considerable beauty and accomplish tnents. Mr. Coates wore his inestimable Court dress, with hi s costly sword hanging by his side, and the bride was suitably attired. The couple left Mr. Coates' residence, No. 23, Dover. street, Piccadilly.ly, in a carriage and four, the postillions wear ing white satin jackets.

POET it Y. WOMAN. First Voice. How fickle is woman ! how Cass are her vows, As light as the quick-passing wind, How transient her fondness—like dew on the boughs— Which leaves not a vestige behind. Second Voire. Flow faithful is woman ! how constant her love, Like the stars in their heavenly spheres: Now lasting her fondness—as the blue sky above, Unchang'd thro' the circle of years. First Voice. Oh woman ! thou worker of woe to mankind, Thou Priestess of wrath and of blood, In thy cause--10 ! what myriads to earth are consign'd, The battle pours forth like a flood Second Voicv. Oh woman ! thou soother of pain and of wrath, Thou angel of life and of light, Thou calmer of inadneia—averter of death Amid the red rage of the fight ! First Voice. For wotnan—the earth round thithick-eireled Troy Grew drunk with the blood of the brave, For woman—a hero himself could destroy And relinquish a world for the grave. Second (Poke. For woman—the recreant warrior of Rome Drnpt the sword of rebellion in shame, The Patriot gave the grim tyrant his doom, And his country—life—freedom—and fame. First Voice. Yet woman—detpite of thy falsehood and pride, The heart will still cling to thy love, Tho' the scorn—and the scolf—and the mock it bath tried, Tho' bleeding—it never can move. Second Voice. Oh woman ! thou anchor of life in the wreck, Which the wind and the storm cannot sever ! On thy bosom the torn heart its solace will seek, And will beat on that bosom for ever ! SPORTING INTELLIGENCV. PARIS RACES, SEPT. 7. The Races for the Grand Prize took place this day. The weather was superb, and an immense crowd filled the circum. ference of the Champ de Mars. Their Royal Highnesses the Comte &Artois and the Duchess of Berri honoured the races with their presence. Nell, a Cozak filly, won in two heats, being, however, closely . folloWed by Rosiere. At the moment when his Excellency the Minister of the Interior was about giving the prize, the CoUnt d'Artois ordered both mares to b e brought before his tent, and addressing the :Minister, said— " Monsieur, Nell has won the prize; but as she comes from my son's stud, the reward concerns me; give the prize to Roniere. —A white scarf was then fastened to 'Nell's bridle (she belongs to the Duke de Quiche), as having won the prize of honour, and the 6,000 francs, of which the prize consists, were paid to her owner.—(French Parr.) BETTING.—DONCASTIM ST. LEGER. The sporting houses are nightly crowded. Meta are made in abundance, but such is the panic in the betting circles that few takers can be found.

ENGLISH OPERA IlousE,The title of the Musical Farce brought forward last night, Dun a Day, is so ominous to the Prqiessors of the Pen that Criticism must deliver its continents with fear and trembling. The plot consists of some whimsical and entertaining perplexities, but we have only room for a brief notice. Young Rake& (BARER) is deeply In debt, and his only act of prudence is to fall in love with Caroline (Miss Cana), a Lady of Fortune. Ile is closely besieged by creditors, but his servant, Shirk (W. CHAPMAN), has ingeniously arranged them in such a manner that each of them confines his visit to a particular day. The most clamorous, obstinate, and persevering of the Duns is Plush, a tailor (13Airrixv), who contrives to get into, the house, and see Young Bak ely. The only expedient left is to get Plush to assume the part of Old Rakeiy, to satisfy Caroline, who will not marry her lover without the consent of his fattier. The attempts of the tailor to appear the gentleman, and his con stant reference to Isis own business, constitute some of the most diverting parts of this enter taining Farce. At length, after some ludicrous mistakes and well-managed equivoque, Old itakely (towsorros) arrives in town, and agrees to pay all his son's debts, except that of Plush, who has unluckily written a mock con tract, under the assumed character of Old itakely, upon the back of a eognovit, which the latter, who had been consulted as a supposed attorney, tears, and the poor tailor is the only creditor who retires unpaid. This is the , main-plot, b u t there is an under-plot, one relating to this , of Shirk and Frill (Mrs. WziPPAKT), Cant to Caroline. Such is a brief account of a very diverting piece, which derived great support from the Performers in general, but par ticularly from Mr. BARTLEY, in the tailor, whose awkward attempts to assume the gentleman, and his perpetual recurrence to the technical, of his calling, were irresistibly laughable. The piece was announced by Mr. BARTLUY for te-litorrow in the following terms, which were received with warm and unanimous assent Ladies and Gentlemen, if you will honour it by youraccept ance, I , will present my bill again on Friday night." We have not heard who is the author, but from the success of his piece, it is probable that he will soon be deterre. OLD BAILEY —(ruts DAY) . RANK FORGERIES. John Smith was placed at the bar, charged on five several indictments with having uttered several 5/. notes, purporting to be of the Go. vernor and Company of the Bank of England. On being asked what was his plea to the in dictments, the prisoner, with extreme dej ,ection pleaded " Guilty." The RECORDEIt—I hope you will not persist in your present determination, because, if you do, sentence of Death must be passed upon you, And, in all probability, the only public apology you can make will be by that sentence being curried into execution; therefore let mu advise you to purstie a different determination. Prisouer—l am aware of my awful, situation; and that 1 stand on the brink of an awful eter nity ; therefore I fear to utter a falsehood. mercy cannot be extended here, I hope to receive it from my Creator. RECORDER—Let it stand until to-morrow, that the prisoner may have time to consider. Prisoner—My Lord, it is of no use, my mind is made up to plead as 1 have done.—The pri saner was then removed to await the arrival of the Judges. James Hughes was found guilty of a high way robbery in Whiteehapel. A witness in his behalf was committed for wilful and corrupt perjury. _ On the Judge coming into Court, Smith was again placed at the bar, and repeated his plea of guilty. Mr. Aaron GRAUMC—Itave you considered this, young man I You must not imagine that public justice is in any way palliated by that plea, which cannot at all remove the weight of quilt from you; and 1 understand that there are not any circumstances which will lead tne to sup pose the Royal Clemency will be exercised to wards you. Mr. I..tw said he had applied on the subject of the prisoner's plea to the Governors of the Bank, and had ascertained they could not, under the cir cumstances, recommend the prisoner to mercy. The Prisoner replied, if Government would not grant mercy towards him, he could only look for it hereafter, and let the result be what it may, he was determined that he should plead no thing else but" Guilty." The verdict was then recorded, and the pri soner was removed. James Clark, aged 26, and John Down, aged 29, were put to the bar on the charge of the rob. bery of Colonel Meynich, of the Guards, of pro. perty to the amount of 1,0001. • MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
