" Brussels, Oct. 18, 1830." (The signatures.) GHENT, OCT. 18. General Duvivier and Colonel de Pontecoulant, with several officers, went yesterday to the citadel, and after a conference of two hours with the Governor, M. Destombes, the terms of the capitulation was agreed upon. We understand that the Dutch evacuate the citadel to-morrow ; one pest only will be confided to the voluntee►s. A Belgic officer will remain for another week at the bead of the Belgians who make part of the actual garrison. Of the eight cannon belonging to the Dutch, they are tv bike away only four. It seems the enemy will return to Antwerp with arms and baggage. (From the Journal du Gond of Wednesday.) The munition of our fort by the Dutch troops took place this morning ut five o'clock. They departed with their arms and bagage, tscorted by four cannon and a strong detachment of our Burgher Guard, which will accompany them to the frontier of the province. We hear that disturbances took place yesterday at Bruges, in consequence of which part of the Belgic Pari.ian Legion, commanded by M. de 'Pontecoulant, set out this morning on hoard the public passage-boat, drawn by eight horses. A second detachment sat out at noon. ANTWERP, OCT. 18.

The account of the imbuccessful attempt on Brussels bas excited apprehension' of foreign interference in the affairs of Belgium, and has much depressed our Funds. No bank ruptcies have yet taken place ; but if the general uneasi ness should continue they can hardly fail to occur. The measures taken by the Diet and the German Princes to quell the troubles in some parts 'of Germany have given great satisfaction here. The Hungarian Diet will eloSe by the end of this month, and the Diet which his Majesty has promised to convoke next year be opened on the 30th of March.

The French Papers are principally filled with accounts respecting the entrance of ,the Consti tutionalists into Spain. " MINA," says the Gazette de France, " is recognized as the General-in-Chief of the expedition, which is to enter Spain at three points, the Eastern Pyre nees, the Ariege, and the Lower Pyrenees. The revolution is to he at the same time Spanish and Portuguese. They have not yet agreed upon the form of Government which is to be given the Spanish Lusitanian Peninsula. The chiefs indulge each his own hopes and conjectures. This kind of tactics is very judicious, for it main tains some union in an assemblage formed of so many difFerent elements. It was nearly in this manner that our last revolution was accom• shed; but after the victory, if there should be a victory, there will be a Babel-like confusion of principles, opinions, and systems, as there is already of nations, languages, physiognomies, and manners. Among these troops there arc some hundreds of men who took part in the events of the 27th, 28th, and 29th of July, at Paris. Much confidence is placed in them."

At the Westminster Sessions, held this morn i n g, two cases of the greatest importance to the parishes in and near the metropolis Came on, but were afterwards specially appointed . to be beard on the 6th of November. The. questions are whether or not the parishes of Saint Margaret and Saint John, West Minster, can enforce the payment of Poor-rates by the Gas and Coke, and Chelsea Waterwork Companies, for the mains sod pipes running through the several streets in' the respective parishes. The justice and propriety of rating public companies, with a large'eapital ratted by the subscription of hundreale of persons, cannot be doubted. The late decisions in the Court of King's Bench have been in favour of the parihes, end the principle on which the Court* haie decided it that iu respect of the mains and pipes the owners 'and proprie tors are rateable as occupiers of WA We understand that the Gas' Company would not have objected to an ad ditional rate upon their buildings, if the parishes would not have included the mains and - pipes in the rate, as they were afraid other parishes would have folloWed the ex ample, and by that means reduce their enormous urolits. The rates in these two parishes are only three 'shillings in the pound, and the annual assessment'nf these Companies would amount to nosey 1,0001.; if, therefore, this large sum ought to be paid by them where the. rates Are so extra ordinary low, of what immense importance will he the &cisioni to many parishes where the rates' amount to nine shilling s and uPwarde• Tbeopinions of some of the most eminent. lawyers have been taken upon , the subject, and they are decidedly ill lova of die chijute Qi< the Priam.

COOK AND OTHERS V. CALDICOI7. This was an action brought by the assignees of a person of the name of Downe, who, for a abort time, carried on business as a warehouseman, in Church-passage, Old Jewry, to recover several sums of money front the defen dant, under the following circum►tances. It appeared from Mr. CAMPBELL'S statement, that Downes commenced business in the latter end of the year 1828, and that, be fore the expiration of three months, he was Gazetted as a bankrupt ; previously to which, however, he had pur chased in January goods of Messrs. Nicholls and Co. to the amount of 4081, which he, on the 12th of February, sold to the defendant for 2721., being a sacrifice of nearly 331 per cent. Subsequently to this, on the 19th of the same month, lie also sold a considerable quantity of goods which he bad bought of Mr. Butler, and for which he agreed to pay really money, at the rate of 48a. Oil. per piece, to tie defendants for 38s. tid. Of course neither of these debts were psi I, but immediately afterwards Downe became bankrupt. The Learned Coun sel said that the only question was, whether the assignees were not entitled to recover of the defendants the limns thus sacrificed by the bankrupt for the benefit of the cre ditors severally. He acknowledged that Downe,i himself would not have been competent to have upset the trans action, but the Learned Judge on the Bench had ruled that the assignees stood in a very different situation, and that they hsd the right, lie should be able to prove an act of bankruptcy eommitted previously to the 12th of February, and having done so, be submitted that he was entitled to a verdict. 'I he commission was then put in, and the act of bank ruptcy proved, as were also the facts of the transactions in question. The plaintiff's case had not closed when our reporter left. THE FUNDS.---(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. We have do arrivals of any import►►nce, with the cx eeption of accounts from Bombay of the 26th Juou, Tint FUNDS. After a storm we have generally a calm, which is Olio morning the elite with the Funds. Every thing at, pre sent is very quiet in the Consul Market, but how long it will last we cannot foresee, as report says they expect come heavy sales from the west end of the town for money stock. We hear that the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has issued a proclamation to prevent any discussions ou the disunion of Ireland. A report prevails that a great Scotch agent has put an end to his existence; he way in a great way of business ; he was found dead yesterday. Letters from Liverpool, received this morning, state that his• Majesty's ship Ariathe had arrived there fnun mouth with a detachment of the 88th regiment. It is supposed they are destined fur Consols, which left off yesterday at 84 for the Account, opened at 83, and at present are 84, with little doing. The Bears, who have opened a successful campaign, are determined to maintain their ground, and are watching the movements of the Bulls, who are fighting shy at present, as it appears they have had a severe drubbing. In the Foreign Marktt nothing doing as yet. (ANOTHER ACCOUNT.) The market is comparatively tranquil this morning, but here is every appearance of heaviness, and the speculators still labour under great alarm. The lowest price of Con. sole yesterdity,was 831, this morning they are 83k, buyers, Exchequer Bills wear a very (lull appearance, and the pr e .. ntium is nomioully at 40. India Bonds are at 30 to 35 prem., but with nothing doing. The private letters from Paris this ntorning have tended to increase the previous gloom existing here. Every thing there appears in's most desponding state, the fonds continue to full, and the titer_ cantile interests were labouring under great depression, Our heavy stocks look very flat this morning ; 3 per Cent s . Reduced are 831, and 3f- per Cent. Reduced are 91i The variation in the Stock Market has riot' been a much;importance. Brazilian Bonds are 60 to 61 ; Chilian 22 to 23, and Colombian I'7 to 18. The Northern Securities are heavy ; Russian Bonds are 94f to 951, and Danish very dull, at 591 00f. Portu. gueee Bonds are very much depreciated, 51 to 53 is the present price ; Spanish Bonds are rather flat, 211 It is reported that his Majesty's ship Undaunted has arrived with despatches from Terceira, but the contents of them have not transpired. The sudden death of a partner in a banking establish ment in Charlotte-row, Thomas Kinnear, of the firm of Kinnear and Co., has led this morning to surmises of most gloomy nature. Upon inquiry, - we have ascertained that there is no foundation for them. The above-named gentleman was found, tiOtid this morning, but front perfectly natural causes ; anti the firm, as far as solvency is concerned, will in no shape sustain any detriment. >;N01,1$1 UNDS Bank Stock, t.'o7 900 316 per Cent.. 99N buns Stock, *A 96 Ditto, Itetlueett,lell4 4 3 per Cent.

A new tragedy, under the title of the Jew qf rayon, or the Hebrew Queen, was produced at this Theatre last night. As it met with a decided and assur edly just condemnation, we shall be brief in our notice of it. The subject is taken from a well written 'Spanish le • gend, in Mr. Taus.aa's " ReMance of History," and has reference to the intrigues of a Jew, named Xavier, (Mr. CHARLES' Ksmat.s), for placing his daughter Ru• Adel (Miss FANNY Kwaramt), on the throne of Arragon. The plot of the drama is artificial and clumsy, and violates every law of probability. It is moreover wholly devoid of interest r and scarcely begins to stir till the Amnia act. With regard to character, there is but one with the slightest pretensions to tragic power, th e ambi tious Jew, and he , though eternally before the audience, and now . and then thrown into situations which ought to have .proluced an effect, created so little interest that we saw more than one gentleman fall' asleep in the dress circle. As fur Rachuel, she is a mere sketch—a shadow. Ali** KRAMLE did all that could possibly hue done for such a meagre outline, but, having no material to work 'on, she wholly failed. The rest of the dramatis persona: were insipid and common-place ; but the appearance of a Jewish rabble on the stage was infinitely whimsical, nut to say origival, and put the anthem% into the greatest possible good humour.. We never saw such a grotesque set of scare. crows ; they seemed to have conic direct horn Monmouth. street or. Rag-fair, for the purpose of exciting what our City correspondent would call " a sensation." We wish we could speak well of the language of the play, but a regard to justice compels us to assert that, like the chem.. • ters, it is very—very so-to. What. can he said in defence of such trash as this, which the author, no •doubt, meant' to be e atheo? "Their oars strike fast, but ab ! nay heart strikes faster." or.- . • t , The Princess Isabe ll a is despised, fc As if she were a carpet hilt' outworn." The comparison of an old carpet with n young maiden Princes. is modelled on the most approved principle of the bathos. We would strongly advise Mr. WA ROE to attempt no more tragedies. They are really no - joke. lie has evidently no stern tragic emir' in his composition, and should stir* to nwhistleames or operas, for which his abi lities seem best.adegsted. The actors all did their best, but the piece notwithstanding was a decided faint., and will not, we understand, be repeated.

The annual income of the Spanish clergy as been generally valued at 19,000,0001„ al hough the clergy themselves have always denied hat it was more than 12 or 13,000,000/. Up to 1799, all the taxes and °wham ions paid to the Government did riot exceed 5,500,000/. yearly, so that the Spanish people paid nearly three times as much for their ten. gigue as for their civil Government. From the beginning of the 18th century to 1792, we do not tied that the clergy ever coo tribute(' to the charges of the Static, more than 180,000/. lent to the Government in i 780„ and a donation of 400,000/. in 1792, From 1792 to 1808, the clergy advanced to Government either by loan or donation 1,890,000/. and received from the people within the same period, at least 195,000,0001., so that they con tributed much less than one per cent. or their income ; while the people, in addition to the payment of 7,500,000/. annually, as ordinary contribution to the Government, were obliged to pay within that same period 56,000,000 k, as extraordinary contributions. Up to the year 180, the clergy enjoyed great privileges ; they and their property were exempt from all contribution and tases,',and they pushed this rrivilege to eo monstrous an extent, that every clergyman received yearly from she Royal Treasury, a sum of money in repayment of such tax us it was prevumed he might have paid in the purchase of provisions bought iu the open markets; such provisions being vubjeoted to a municipal tax at the gates of the city.* From 1808 to 1814, they were obliged to disgorge some of their enormous wealth, for neither .French nor Spaniards spared them.— The Cortes were of opinion that they ought , not to be exempt from contributing to the charges of the State ; that, having possessed themselves of their enormous wealth by illegal and foul means, it was high time to deprive them of it ; that the important interests of religion required a more just and impartial distribution, and not to allow a great majority of the, rectors of pas liaises to starve on 80 or 40 . pounds it year, while the prelates, the canons, in a word, the whole of the high clergy, enjoyed immense le venues. In consequence, of this determination, the bishops, canons, and pluralists conspired against the Cortes; and, in 1814, eventually triumphed ...but their triumph was of slim t aura tion. In 1817, the King deprived them of their privilege of exemption, and, having imposed a property tax, the Spauish people everywhere contrived to make the ehurchlauded property pay, perhaps, twice as much us in justice it ought.— the clergy, growing weary of these burdens, beheld with indifference the revolution of 1820, concluding that their condition could not he worse under the dominion of the Cortes, than it I:v l he e r th e u e lii t sr t t: t i n e t t : I : : r po t if) l o t e e rr :si tyl : e s: o lu .,, Ting, national debt, which MINN] the dissensions be tween the clergy and tires Cortes to break out afresh. There cannot be the least doubt that the contest would have terminated in favour of the Cortes, had not the Duke tr.lngottletne in %ldea Sp a hr, with his 100,000 French troops, f o r the avowed purpose of compelling the Spaniards to pay more for their religion than they wore disposed to do, Front that period the cletgy . have enjoyed thei r f ormer pr i v il eges m u, b ut t h e A great billing off in their revenues, owing to the little value of every description of agricultural produce, and to its having tecom e a common practice among the Spaniards to u:.e every endeavour to cheat them of their tithes. Tike clergy, on the o th er b au d, h ave resottcd to the most violent measures to compel their flocks to pay the full amount; they have,generally been unsuccessful, anti have rendered flienvolvas t . tb jects of detestation, without finding a remedy for lecYS Pl4i4v it4S.
