All foreign news to-day is of little interest compared with our domestic concerns; the official information sent by Ministers to the City of the postponement of his Majesty's coming into the City to-morrow has caused a general disappointment and dismay, and will alarm the country from one extent to the other, and is conceived in various ways, some say it is a manceuvre of Ministers as a pretext to call out the volunteers and militia, and that a message to that purport will be sent to the House. No doubt calling out the volunteers would be the wisest plan in case of danger; every man will tight to save his property. All is alarm anti confusion In the City, and the Consol market is in a state of great panic. Consols, which left off on Saturday at WU, opened at 79%, and have since receded to 774 for the account, which is already a fall of three per cent. We have several reports.—The Bank is to receive this night 400 or 500 men ; the artillery are arriving from Woolwirh ; a notice at Lloyd's from Government for transports of 351) tons. In the Foreign market Spanish went down one per cent., since which they have somewhat recovered. Accounts (tom Lisbon state that several English officers arrive by every packet, and are incorporated in the Portuguese army ; and that England is going to organize an army there of 10,000 men by next spring. I.tvnaeoot., Nov. 6.—The import of Cotton this week is (i,t(B bags and trcs ; sales, 9,670 bags, at a further decline in prices of I iper lb. - In Sugar about 1,00 t hhtls. of B. P. Sugar have been disposed of this week, in some instances at rather lower prices. We are informed that the Commissioners who are gone to Belgium are to propose to the King of Holland to give up Ant. werp and 3faestricht to the Belgians. Mails have arrived this morning from Vera Cruz, sailed on time 13th September ; also Malta and Lisbon Mails, the latter left on the 31st ()cumber. By time Mexican Mail we understand all was tranquil there, it also brings a confirrinstion of the ditlbrent parties having been put down. No steamers have as yet arrived; the Express from Paris of Saturday brings the Renter lower. OAR O'CLOCK. We hear that the City Aldermen are now meeting to give their opinions if the dinner and Lord Mayor's Show should be put otr to-morrow. The City still continues in great agitation; crowds of persons on 'Change discussing and giving their various opinions on the subject of the King's declining to come into the City. Another report prevails that the Lord Mayor's dinner is put o ff : Since the early part of the morning, when Consols were done at 77 14 for the Account, a re-action has taken place, and they are at present 7S M.

POSTPONEMENT OF THE KING'S VISIT TO THE CITY, It is quite impossible to describe in adequate terms the great sensation which has been produced by the notice issued from the Committee for conducting the Bova entertainment, stating that the King's visit to the City is postponed, not only in the City but in all parts of the town, and groups of anxious inquirers as to the cause were to be seen in front of the placards announcing the fact. In the City the subject has been one of painful interest, and there are many who look upon the subject in an alarming light. It is said that his Majesty was extremely unwilling to accede to the request made by his Ministers, expressing his confidence in the loyalty of his people, but that in consequence of the pressing solicitations of the Cabinet he agreed to the plan laid down. Among all the shopkeepers in the line of procession th e I nte l. ligence excited the most unusual consternation and disappoint. meat. The preparations for receiving visitors were carrying on with great activity early this morning, when all at once they were suspended by the news of the postponement. • • • Anions politicians in the City one universal opinion appears to prevail—that had their Majesties' visited the City their perions would have been perfectly safe. To the public }nods attention war instantly directed, and long before the regular hours of business many of the speculators, dealers, and others i n t erested had assembled. When the rattle war sprung announcing the commencement of business, the sellers of Stock were numerous. The last price of Consols on Saturday afternoon was SON, but Stock was °tiered at 79q, and no buyers at this price, and in. staidly the quotation dropped to 78%. At this price business was done, but the Market is in a most convulsed state. Other Stocks are all lower. TWELVE O' CL CK. The city is in a more bustling state than we have ever before remembered, and the depression in the public securities already has amounted to not less than 3 per cent., Consols for Account having fallen to 77% the Three and a Half per Cents, to and the New Stock to 854 1 ,4. Reduced Annuities are at 766. All Foreign Funds continue heavy. Government have this morning issued a notice, to the effbct that on Wednesday the Navy hoard will be ready to receive ten. ders for three ships of about MO tons burthen each, to act as transports for four months certain. Th e vesse l s to have poops. These, it is understood, are, to convey troops. The notice is dated yesterday. Theie are many statements in circulation, as to the reasons which Induced Ministers to come to the determination to re commend to his Majesty not to go to the city. A Court of Al. dermen has assembled on the subject. It is said that a certain City Officer of high rank wrote to Sir It. Peel, saying that he would not be answerable for the consequences If their Majesties came into the city on 'Tuesday. The letter took the efllct of alarming Ministers, and they adopted the step they have taken. The Stock Market has recovered in some degree from the panic, Consols for the Account having risen to '75, The quantity of Stock pleased on the market to-day has been consid e rable, but not sogreat as might have been anticipated. Every precaution is to be adopted for preserving peace to. morrow. The firemen belonging to each (Mice are to be called into requisition. A NOTII ER ACCOUNT. TWO O'CLOCK. It is almost impossible to convey any idea of the state of excitement under which the city now labours. Every one seems astonished at the crisis so unexpectedly arrived, and the reports current are of a description to excite the most fearful alarm. According to general rumour, a plot bad been formed for the plunder of the city to-morrow. It is said no impediment would have been bffereil to the procession, on its advance to Guildhall, but that as night approached, the gas-pipes were to have been destroyed,_ Temple Bar and other leading avenues barriraded,— all egress prevented,—and a general pillage and mawacre commenced. It is further said that the Lord Mayor had received such information on this that he yesterday afternoon wrote to the Doke of Wellington, stating that, if the procession and feast was not postponed, lie considered the safety of the city endangered. He is also said to have bad an in terview with Ministers this morning upon the subject, aid the result has been, that not only does the King not come, hut there will be no procession whatever to-morrow. In the meantime various are the stories current respecting the precautionary measures to be adopted by the Government. It is reported, a messsge will be sent down by the King to the Houses of Parliament this afternoon, recommend. ing the immediate calling out of the Volunteers and Militia. It is also said the Habeas Corpus will be sue peaded. We further hear that 400 artillerymen have been added to the garrison of the Tower, and that eight pieces of cannon have been sent into that fortress, which is being victualled, and the ditch filled with water. Three hundred and eighty marines are like wise said to have arrived from Chatham, and all the strain-boats are said to have keen engaged for bringing up troops to the metropolis. The guard at the Bank has been doubled, and several military officers hive been inspecting that building this morning. We further hear that to-night and to-morrow thousands of people, moved it is asserted by one great plan, are ex pected from all parts of the provinces to arrive here. The refuel of the loan of the muskets to the Birmingham manu facturers, which has been the subject of much argument, is now understooi to have been caused by the informa tion Ministers have received of the intentions whisk were to have been manif sted to-morrow. Such are the general reports cuirent, to which may be added that the Ptate of public feeling here has shown itself strongly against the pootponenaent or rather we may soy the annihilation of the feast. it is thought nothing could be more impolitic, when the pre vailing excitement is considered, than the original design of feasting in the sight of a starving people, but that having so decided, nothing ran more chew the weakness of the Government than its abandonment. Consols for account have been to low as int they are now 78i With respect to Foreign Stock there is absolutely no real price for any security.

Ste,—The ouly arguments of any weight that can be adduced in favour of the present state of the representation of England are the following 'lnd—That, by the Peers having an Influence in the election of Members of the House of Commons, such an ungerstanding is kept up between the two Chambers that nocollision dangerous to the State can take place. Second—That the opening of the boroughs would take them out of the hands of the Aristocracy or landed interest, and throw them into those of the commercial interest, thus giving an undue prw i t r igeißc: t t i s t i t s he latter, through the rotten or close boroughs alone that the monied interest can be represented, or that distinguished talent can make its way into Parliament. Fourth—That certain seats in the House of Commons being at the disposal of government, it possesses an influence beyond what it acquires by patronage essential to its existence. Now, in answer to the first argument, I would ask, what is die use of two Chamber*, if on all point* of vital importance they are necessarily to agree in opinion ? If such is to be the case, would it not be simpler to incorpo rate the two Houses at once, allowin; the Peers to sit by right, and the Commons by election ? No one pretends to say that, in training the Constitution, they were not meant to be distinct in fact as well as in form, or else why thrive enactments to prevent the interference of Peers in eke. turns ? It follows, then, that the influence of the Peers in the composition of the Lower House (however it may be defended on the plea ofits working well, or et its being essential to the existence of the three orders of the State), is an infraction of the Con stitution ; and an infraction of the Constitution is that against which the defenders of the present system so violently exclaim. Again, I might ask, on what principle is the house of Peers to gave more influence over the Commons, than the Commons over the Peers, unless it be intended to render our Government essentially aristocratic, or to give a preference to the past over the present, the Lords acquiring their right, and probably their opinions, by descent, and the Commons being renewed in the spirit of the titnes? So constituted they may prove a salutary check to each other; but beyond that, influence on either part is unconstitutional and pernicious. With respect to the remaining arguments, it might al. most be enough to say that they are altogether founded on corruption ; and, if we were not already forbidden 15 to do evil that good may ensue," I would say, it is impos sible that any thing durable can spring from corruption. Hut, Waving this point, let us proceed to the consideration of the second argument, namely,—.. That the opening of the boroughs would take them out of the hands of the Aristocracy, or landed interest, and throw them' in•o those of the commeiciel interest; thus giving au undue preponderance to the latter. The answer to this is short; for supposing such a Re form to take place that all the close borough* be thrown open, and that all the rotten boroughs, or those not con taining above a certain number of inhabitants, be disfran chised, would it not, then, be in the power of the Legis. lature to transfer the vacant seats to the counties, or prin cipal commercial towns not already represented, in such proportion as to keep up a proper balance between the two roam interests of the country ? The next argument is, that it is through the rotten and close boroughs alone that the moneyed interest cats be re- THE MARKETS.-!THIS DAY). CORN-EXCH A NO E. The arrivals of last week wera macerate of all kinds of English train, but of Oats from Ireland the supply was considerable. This morning there is a short supply again of every description of Corn. The few samples of flue Wheat that were at market found buyers at full Is. per quarter advance on the terms of this day se'nnight other qualities are firm at former quota ions. Barley found a ready sale for malting, at the terms of this day fight. Beans are unaltered. Pease r f both kinds are rather dearer. Old Oats maintain the last quotations, but New being more plentiful than of late are Is. per quarter lower, wit h a slack sale. In the top price of Flour there is no variation, but m'cl. dling qualities obtain rather higher prices. PRICES ON IC Wheat, Red (old) —s. —s. White (old) —I. —.Rest ORA 60s. Nis.

Now, if by the moneyed interest is meant the posses sors of capital, I would reply, that it will be adequltely represented along with the commercial interests ; and, if it includes the national creditor, I should- say that he must be contented to rely on the national faith and justice, and that he c.m have no claim to he separately represented, seeing that he owes his present importance mainly to that state of things which render■ a Reform necesaary, There can he no fear but that property will, to the end of time, have a great influence in every situation and state; and, though on a Reform, seats will not be sold to the highest bidders, property is not less likely to find its way into a Parliament whose doors are thrown open to fair competition, than into one the avenues to which are choked tip I.y the unconstitutional encroachments of a privileged class ; whle, for the same reason, distinguished talent will (as we have seen on a late memorable occasion in a prin cipal county) indisputably enforce its el tiros to a sh ire in the Legislature. The last argument is, that certain seats in the House of Commons being at the disposil of Government, it pos sesses an influence, beyond what it acquires by patronage, essential to its existence. Undoubtedly it is necessary that the Government, pro fempore, should possess a certain influence in Parlament, sufficient to prevent the balance being turned against it, except by a very decided expression of the public opinion ; I would, therefore, in cleaning out the Angean stable, allow the Government a stall or two to itself, i. e., I would permit the Ministry to possess seats in the House in virtue of their office ; while, calculating on the infirmities of human nature, we may fairly expect that there will always remain in the said stable a sufficient quantity of matter whereon to exercise the patronage which must nece'sarily belong to the Government.

ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC. KING'S THEATRE An opera, composed by a Peer, might in ordinary times be deemed a performance beyond the range of Criticism. hut at this period, when men are strongly impressed with the notion that mathematics are not the only science 10 which (hero is no Royal, no diplomatic road, inquiries will he nestle after the real merits of Lord Burghersh's oltera—inquiries now to be satisfied by our declaring that his Lordship's work which Is, in fact, no more than a substitute for the m us i c of The Siege qf Prlgrade (the dialogue, plot, and words being the same), is utterly un worthy of a comparison with the compositions of Martini, or those of his adapter, Stowe. The result is our s t rong conv i o . tion that the thlietauti of this Metropolis will have as little diffi culty In agreeing on the folly of exchanging the music of the Plebeians for that of the Peer, as Politicians on the inexpediency of maintaining a Legation at Florence, for the purposeofenabling a scion of Aristocracy to acquire, at the expense of the nation. that amount of musical skill di s played by the late hoble Envoy in this production. The question of national economy belongs to another department ; but in this we may be permitted to ask by what extraordinary perversion of taste Lord Burghersh's paltry composition can be tolerated in lieu of Storace's admired $ 4 Letter Duet," the almost equal comprise of Mo4art's 44 Still' aria ?" Lord Burghersh piques himself on being devoid of mannerism. liii Lordshspla music is, indeed, after no particular manner whatever ; but a melange made up of all possihle man. errs. Rossini and %I's eber are the nuestri whom he chiefly honours by condescending to imirate them ; and the Oberus of Weber especially has furnished his Lordship with movements and phrases, of which he has made the best use according to his faculty. As a dramatic performance nothing can be snore wretched. The King and Queen occupied a box In the centre of the small Theatre, anti were attended by their whole Court. A More aristocratical assembly has seldom beers convened in so small a apace, nor provided, on the whole, with a more sorry tn. tertaintnent.

It is understood that Mr. ALDERSON 19 op pointed one of the Judges of the Court of Common Hess, and Mr. (iv itt;xy one of the Judges of the Court of King's Bench ; eni it is said that Mr. Justice Ilairt.xx will re ceive an appointiornt in the Court of Exchequer ► for the trial of Nisi Prins causes in that Court.

THE LANDSCAPE ANNUAL FOR 18.31. This superb annual is more indebted to the talents if the artists than the editor. The former have contributed a series of splendid engravings, illustrit ions chiefly of Rome and Venice, from designs sup olied by S. Prout, the latter has furnished some Ines of letter-press in explanation, which are not core than two degrees removed from the most ab solute and insipid common-place. But Prout's ar chitectural embellishments ! It is impossible we can speak too highly of them. The. Venetian landscapes of this eminent painter have a life—a freshness—an originality about them, that we may look for in, vain in the works of any other artist of the present day. He places Venice before the mind's eye with a Vigour —accuracy—and impressiveness that are truly Astonishing. We almost fancy that we could find our way through the streets of this amphibious city by merely attending to the local minutia of Mr. Prom's unerring illustrations. In the present num ber of the Landscape Annual he exhibits himself in all his glory, for the etigreVers have proved theat:; selves worthy of him. His sketches of the Rialto -or the Barberigo Palace—of St. Mark's-square —of the Grand Canal, at Venice; and those of the Bridge of St. Angelo —of St. Peter's Cathedral— of the Coliseum and the Temple of Vesta, at Rom , ' are each in its way a master-piece. We know not that we can speak in higher terms of this Annual than to state that it comprises upwards of twenty four engravings from Mr. Prom's best and moat pie turesque designs. IThe writers of the last century were more dis« tinguished by elegance of style than by diligent* of r& .1' search, or judicious a r r an g emi u lbts In no ttrott.thent e knowledge is their deficiency more flagrant than in th 4 science of sooloey, which absolutely retrograded under their hands. The preparation of a standard work On the subject Was confided to 1)r. Got.nssfrrit, who scarcely could distinguish a horse from a cow, and while poutical habits completely unfitted him for the toils of patient en• quiry, and laborious investigation. The want of A nation a work on zoology was justly the reprosei of our country, and we therefore feel that our gratitude is due to the pro prietors of the English edition of Cuvutit's great work, which combines the Baron's scientific theory, with all the interesting information which modern naturalists have collected. The plates by which it is illustrated are among the first specimens of art, and have been executed either from the living animal, or from the best geservatione in the different Museums of Europe. the divisions oh repo. tiles, now in the course of puhlication, is executed with the same fidelity and diligenee which were en conspicuous in the description of beasts, birds, and fossil animals, and we are convinced that it will be honoured with tin equal share of public patronage. BYRON AT DR. GLENNIE'S..--,BYRON tint hiving received any benefit from the Nottingham quack, was removed to London, put under the care of Dr. Batt.ev, and placed in the school of Dr. GLEN4III4 at Dulwich ; Mrs. Resins herself took a house on Sloane Terrace. Moderation in all athletic exercises wari pre scribed to the boy, but Dr. GLINNIX bad some difficulty in restraining hie activity. He was quiet enough while in the house with the Doctor, but no sooner was he re leased to play, thin he showed as much ambition to excel in violent exercises as the most robust youth of the shool ; an Ambition common to young persons who have the mis fortune to labour under bodily defects. While under the charge of Dr. Grainer's, he was playful, good-hitmotrael, and beloved by his companions; and addicted to reading history and poetry far beyond the usual scope of his age. In these studies he showed a predilection fur the Scrip. tures ; and certainly there are many tracer in his works which show that, whatever the laxity of Ilia religious principles may have been in after life, he was not tinao• quainted with the record* and history of our religion,— During this period, Mrs. BYRON often indiscreetly inter fered with the course of his tolncation ; and if Ilia classiest studies were in consequent* not so effectually conclectel as they might have been, his mind derived some of its best nutriment from the loose desultory course of his reading. Among the books to which the boys at Dr. 01.10fNiezi school had access, was a pamphlet containing the narrative of a shipwreck on the coast of Amman, filled with Invasive descriptions. It had net attracted much public attention, but it Was a favourite with the pupils, pardon holy with livitox, *ad furnishes him afterwarde with the leading circumstances in the striking description of the shipwreck in Don Jun.—Go/es L(fs of Byron. HOSTILITY TO PAPAL DOMINION IN THI S; SIXTRINTIti Clrroxv.—As civilisation advanced, the moral power anti authority of the Popes gradually de dined. The long schism, and the lives and characters of the pontiff., with many analogous circumstances, con tributed to this. And later Popes, by endeavouring to supply the loss of moral power by the acquisition of tem poral authority, aggravated the growing disrespect for the Holy See. At the beginning of the sixteenth century France was, perhaps, the country most in advance with respect to views of reform. Though the fate of the Albi genses warned men front absolute schism, still all dosses showed a distrust aid enmity towards Home. The Coln. mom remonstrated against the Pope'. usurpation, ; the nobles, and even the national clergy, joined in the senti ment ; and the Monarch, instead of dreadolgegeommuni. cation, was never more popular than in warring against the papal power. Louis XII. the father of hie people, hid struck a medal to perpetuate his own and the nation's alihorrenee of papal bad faith. Its circumscription was, .Pertlam Babylonia stamen, " I will destroy the very name of Babylon." It served as a motto afterwards for Ltrtrza, whit thus borrowed his anathema against Howe from the Most Christian King. The papal tree was Stints like the vine—it bore fruit only at its extremities. While the pontiff WAX warring at home with the Cot.oonas, and his imperiA city itself was sacked by /Inuit/ION; while France refused her annoys, and was jealous even of the presence of a legate; the emissaries of Home were collecting tribute round tie shores of the Baltic. A Monk who cattle to vend billets of salvation fur crowns world have helix receisiael in France with a shout of deriiiun ; in Germany, on the contrary, he found s large market of credulity. In dulgences professing to remit all punishments in this world and the next, and consequently efficient to save the souls of the living or the dead, were disposed ' of in thousands. The +retries of the Popes was still greater than the credulity of the Germane. MARTIN Ltritten called in question the efflomey of thaw indulgences; And his word, like a talisman, broke the spell of the ettpreniaey.—Dr. Lard:tees Cabinet Cyclopedia, Vol. XII. ; bin Vol. I. of Mt History of France. Sir JOHN DANVERS was as well known in Oath as the Mayor of the Pump-room ; his dress, his manners, and his apophthegms were equally flotations; and no man, perhaps, in England enjoyed so extensive tin acquaintance ; the meanest and the noblest were mantel • hended in his sphere—he touched the zenith and the nadir of social intereourae. Hi was of a till and gaunt stints tore, with a sight stoop, arid en immense Itoutau nose, which did not slightly resemble the beak of a condor, lde wore his wig on one side, with a tail flapping ever his ter, surmounted by a hat hardly large enough to cover three of the curls. His colt was of a cut and colour which must have been fashionable about the time of the Revolution his breeched conformed to his coat—they were of black velvet, spotted over, like the hack of a pan ther, with port wine. Hie waistcoat was the enly elegant habiliment he wore, and the embroidery of this had long eine* faded under the momentary showers of snuff it wes exposed to. But the snots whiinsical feature of his dress was his stockings ; he wore a white one on one leg, .snd a black use on the other, intending thereby, as he declared, to express his polities! opinion*. The white he termed the Tory, and the black the Whig ; end his right being the nuoit venerable leg, the appearance of either ou his Ilex. ter shank signified his confidence in the conduct of Mr. I , trx, or Mr. Fox. This mode of telegraphing his tenete was IlaiVellally ado - tired. To theatricals he was pas sionately attached ; and two evenings out of the three were invariably plasm! in the stage-Imi.
