CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this morning at 83U, 84, with little or no business doing. The statement published yesterday afternoon in an Evening Paper, that the King of SPAIN was to grant modifications of the Decrees issued at Port St. Mary's and Xeres, has not been confirmed this morning in any shape, or by any fresh arrival up to this hour from Paris ; conse quently it is not credited in the City, which, in deed, is evident from the Consols Market open ing a half per cent. worse than it left off yester day. If the pretended news had been true, several Expresses would have reached this Capital long ere this, because the French and Spauish Funds at Paris must have taken a considerable rise. Eventually, it may prove true, when the King of SPAIN Le cannot procure money from France or Eng land without ratifying the Old Spanish Loan.— Then he will be compelled to acknowledge it.— We have no reports of any description. FOREIGN MARKET.—Nothing doing except in Spanish Bonds, and that to no great extent. THE KING'S CovaT,TYesterday, at half-past twelve o'clock, his Majesty arrived in his travel ling carriage at his Palace in Pall-mull, from his Palace at Windsor, and soon afterwards the King held a Court, which was attended by the .Lord Chancellor, the First Lord of the Treasur the Sec retar i es of S tate f or t h e H ome and Colo y, uhlt Departments, the First Lord of the Admi ralty, the Master-General of the Ordnance, the President of the Board of Trade, the President tl e Board of Controul, the Chancellor of the Duchyt of Lancaster, the Chancellor of the Ex- • chequer, Viscount Sidmouth, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, the Lord , S teward of th e Household, the Master of ti le I hrse, Earl Cathcart (Gold Stick in Waiting).

In alluding to a report which had been circulated, that Mr. W. intended to re sign hilt pretensions to the honourable situation as Representa tive of the Borough of Colchester, the lion.

SNOW STORM IN SWITZERLAND.--On the 3d of October there fell in the mountainous district of the Canton of Berne an immense quantity of snow ; and though it did not continue long on the ground, its oppressive weight occasioned serious damage to the fruit that still remained on the trees. STEAM PActirrs ON THE DANUBE.--A recent Letter from Vienna, states, that on the 13th ult. the first steam-boat on the Danube com menced its voyage from that city for Pest, in upper Hungary, where, notwithstanding its ex posure to one of the roost violent storms of ►rind, it arrived safe on the morning of the 16th. It was greeted on its arrival with a salvo of Ar.- tii!ery. The number of students matriculated at the University of Berlin, in 18 , 22, was 6'23. A Rev. Gentleman (the Rev. P. C. CHAMBERS, Henlion, near Denbigh ' ) residing near Denbigh, North Wales, whos e ()Ouse is built on a solid limestone rock, behind which a man was em ployed raising stone a few days since, and at the depth of seven feet below the surface, dug up a weighty pure gold ring, of very antique appear ance ; on which is set an onyx engraved intaglio, representing a figure either of Minerva or Escu lupins. From its appearance it is conjectured to be of the data three hundred years since. An impression in wax from it is in the possession of a jeweller in the Strand. It is now understood that, for the last three or four days, Messrs. WILLIAMS and GonnAun, so licitors of Gray's-inn, have been requested to conduct Proberes defence, to which they have at length consented ; and Mr. WitAtiads yester day had his first professional conference with the prisoner. COTENT•GARDEN.—In our recent notice of the tragedy of The Gamester, we expressed much satisfaction that pieces of that description were revived, amidst the melo-dramas which have tended to corrupt the public taste. The Gamester is one of those compositions which relate to pri vate life, and consequently is calculated to ope rate to the advantage of society in general, in checking a vice of the most ruinous tendency.— This play was repeated last night, and we bad the pleasure of seeing that it at tracted a very numerious audience. Mr. YOUNG was deeply interesting in Beverley; and Mrs. BARTLEY not less effective in his unhappy wife. Mr. C. KEMBLE'S Lawson is one of the most complete. performances, so far as the character will admit, that the present stage can boast. The Stukely of Mr. COOPER is a very respectable support to the Play, which obviously excited deep and general sympa thy. The Afterpiece was Timour the Tartar. It is a very magnificent spectacle, and the plot is far from being deficient in interest. The characters were very well supported by Messrs. FARLEY, FAWCETT, Mrs. VINING, Miss BEAUMONT, and Miss .LovE. We ought not to pass over Miss HoDEN in The Prince, as her acting would have been creditable to any mature performer. The horses, which were magnificently attired, per formed their parts very well. They were pro minent in the battles, and mounted over the ca taract with great agility. An accident happened in the breaking of the first grade of the cataract, which prevented the ascent of all the horses, for the sagacious animal whose feet bad produced the fracture, notwithstanding all the efforts of the rider, refused to proceed, and it was judged proper to make no farther attempts with the others. The scenery of this piece is peculiarly magnificent, and the last scene in particular is highly picturesque and striking. The applause of the numerous audience was loud and universal FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

His Excellency Baron Fad entertained a distinguishes party at dinner yesterday, at his house, Whitehall-place. Count Lieven entertained a party of friends at dinner yester. day at Ashburnhant House. The Port of Southampton having long possess ed a decided preference as the place of embarkation for passen gers and goods g oing to the Islands of Gu ernse y and Jersey, and having derived great benefit therefrom, the trading part of its in habitants are highly interested, and we should hope will effectual ly exert themselves to prevent so lamentable a measure as the transference of this trade to Portsmouth, by either procurin g the steam-vessel, now fitting out, to run between this port (in. stead of Portsmouth) and the islands; or else by losing no time in starting another complete steam-vessel of their own. ( Southampton County Chronicle.) NEGRO WAY or DUNNING.— In Jamaica, previous to the interment of a negro corpse, it is some • times pretended that it is endowed with the gift of speech ; and the friends and relatives alternately place their ears to the lid of the coffin, to hear what the deceased has to say. This generally consists of complaints and upbraid ing for various injuries, treachery, ingratitude, injustice, slander, and, in particul ar , t h e non - payment o f debts, due to ie deceased. This last complaint is sometimes shewn by the deceased in a more cogent way than by mere words; fur, on coming opposite to the door of the negro debtor, the coffin makes a toll stop, and no persuasion nor strength can induce the deceased to go forward peaceably to his grave till the money is paid; so that the unhappy debtor has no alternative but to comply with this demand, or have his creditor palmed upon him, as a lodger, for some time.— Sometimes, however, the deceased is a little unconscionable, by claiming a fictitious debt. In short, tliis sup( rs .itious practice is often made subservient to fraudulent extortion.— A negro, who was to be interred in one of the towns, had, it was pretended by some of his friends, a claim on another negro for a sum of money. The latter denied any such claim ; and accordingly at the funeral of the deceased, the accustomed ceremonies took place opposite to the door of his supposed debtor ; and this mummery was continued for hours, till the Magistrates thought proper to interfere, and compelled the de funct to flirego his claim, and proceed quietly on to his place of rest.—(Stewart't Jamaica.) SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF STOLEN PROPERTY. —On Tuesday afternoon, a singular circumstance took place in Charles -street, St. James's-square, which excited consider able attention to numerous persons. It appears that a num ber of young boys, armed with long poles having pitch at • the end, and others with t ongs , etc. were observed busily engaged at the iron gratings in Charles -street, and bring up from thence several valuable ar ti c l es o f jewellery.-.. This singularity caused many individuals to inquire into the matter, when they were informed that a quantity of stolen pro perty had been deposited there, it is supposed by some thieves, who after committing a robbery, having been closely pursued, had thrown the articles into the grating that runs into the coin mon sewer. The lads appeared very successful on the occasion, and in consequence of many valuable stones being offered for sale, information of the circumstance was communicated to Mr. Thornton, a jeweller, in Dean-street, Soho, who se pre mises had recently been broken into and robbed of a vast quantity of jewellery. That gentleman consequ en tly, i n company with Valentine, an officer, instantly repaired to the spot, and to his utter surprise and astonishment discovered that part of the stolen property belonged to him. They were, however, inconsiderable to the loss he had sm.tained, and were only a few amethysts. Several valuable stones were also found, but being broken made them completely useless. It was said that several topazes, brilliant rings, Sec., had been found, which Mr. Thornton, however, was not so fortunate as to secure. During the last fortnight several daring robberies and burglaries have been committed at the west end of the town, by gangs of depredators; a nd a lth oug h l arge rewar d s h ave been o ffered for the recovery of the property anti apprehension of the they have eluded the vigilance of the police. CAuTtoN TO TitAnEsstm—Yesterday a well dressed man went to the shop of Mr. Low, the perfumer, opposite Somerset-House, Strand, and ordered several article., amounting to thirteen shillings, desiring that they might be sent to the Exchequer Office its Somerset Place. A boy took the articles, and was ordered to bring change for a live pound note. The latter pru dently took the articles back with him, and returned %vitt) the aange. Ile met the man on the stairs, who took the change, and de sired the boy to go up farther, and the servant would give him the note. It then a ppeared that the fellow had no connexion with the place, and had made this artful use of the entrants, to a public office. SPRING GUNS.—The following circumstance may be relied on as a fact:—On Saturday even ing last, shortly after the servants of Mr. ARCHER, of Barton Place, had charged and set the spring guns as usual, to protect the game in his plan. tations adjoining his house, one of the guns went off with a very loud explosion, but being about five o'clock only in the afternoon, it was con. sidered too early for poachers, and no particular notice was taken of it. About eleven o'clock at night a second was fired, and about half an hour afterwards a third, and the watchmen and servants were at first apprehensive a gang of poachers had entered the plantations, but hearing no noise of any description following the re ports of the gusts, they were soon satisfied that their conjectures were 'without foundation. On going round next morning, they found that the first gun fired had killed a cock pheasant, evi dently as flying up to perch ; and that each of the others had killed a hare, all of which were found dead within a few yards of the muzzles of the guns. Surely the narration of the above fact insist be sufficient to deter any set of men, how ever hardy, from hazarding their lives in the nightly pursuit of game, where such never-failing fatal engines are placed to preserve.—(linty, Norwich.)

An Inquest was held yesterday afternoon at the Mitre, o pp os i te I s li ngton Church, before T. STintitta, tisq. Coroner, on the body of Mr. John Judge, fermerly superintendent of the Press in the printing-oilica of Messrs. Gilbert, of St. John's-square. Edward Owen stated, on Wednesday evening, about tea o'clock, he was cross i ng a b r i dge over the New River, near Canonbury-house, when he saw the head and sheulders of a man in the river, apparently alive, and as if choking with the water : he called to the watchman, who brought a drag from his box, and dragged about half an hour : being unable then to find the body, some further assistance was procured, and deceased was gut out about 12 o'clock. Smith, the watchman, said, he, with assistance, got th.t body out of the river. There was at the time a handker chief tied over his head and face, but his clothes were not dis. turbed. Mr. T. P. Judge, of 15, Penton-street, Pentonville, said, the deceased was ins brother, and resided at No. :?ti, street, Pentonville; he saw him last alive on Sunday week; he then appeared as be usually did, but, if any thing, mare elevated, being in the society of his friends ; but still there was - a dejection about him z The cause of such dejection the de cetsed always attributed to the closeness of his business; and being superintendent of the press, his business was to correct the matter that had been composed ; this was frequently in several languages, and requi re d t h e most m i nute attention : the business latterly in Messrs. Gilbert's office having considerably increased, the deceased's labours were in like manner increased Also : this he had expressed to the witness, anti mentioned his intention of requiring assistance ; he had been thirty years employed in the office. .Juror.—Was his salary adequate to his labours ? Witness.—l do not believe it was with,ut assistance :it would not support his flintily as he wished. Mr.: Pichted Coventry, of 21, Queen-street, Clerkenwelr, goldsmith, a brother-in-law of deceased, and Mr. Greeted, the auctioneer, said they had known the deceased a number at' years, but latterly he had been very dull, and complained of the pressure of his busin ess . '1 he Coroner and Jury considered the °verbal of business had operated in some degree upo n hi s m i n d , and returned their verdict--" That the deceased drowned himself, being at the tithe in a state of temporary derangement." MEI.ANCHOLY CASUALTY._A young Lady loon d Margaret Thompson, possessing a con. sideruble share of beauty, and scarcely 18 years of age, has been residing for some time at Thick. nook, a little beyond Ballinteer, Dundrum, at the foot of the Dublin Mountains, under the protec tion of a gentleman of this city. On Sunday even. ing, this young Indy being alone, requested of Mrs. Cardiff, in whose house she lodged, to allow her daughter, a young woman about her own age, to sleep with her, and Mrs. C. having consented, the two young ladies retired for the night. On Mon day morning, some time having elapsed beyond the usual hour of Miss Cardiff's rising, without her having made her appearance, Mrs. Cardiff pro. ceeded to the chamber where they had slept, and knocked at the door repeatedly without receiving any answer'. The door was then burst Open, and the agonized mother beheld her daughter and the other young lady lying lifeless. The reports .through town yesterday respecting this 'melan choly occurrence were very erroneous; among others it was said they were poisoned. There ss as no foundation whatever for this statement their death is supposed to have occurred in consequence of a charcoal the being kept in the room where they slept, which was ill venti. lated, and the *flintily) , defective. This (lunge. runs kind of fuel, it is believed, thus caused them to be suffocated. Surgeon M'Narnara has examined the contents of the stomachs of both the deceased ; we understand they exhibit no srrup. tow or appearance of poison. A Coroner's * Jell sat on the bodies yesterday. The Jury adjourned, without returning a verdict, until this day. (.Dublin Morning Post.)
