[FROM A CORRESPONDEKT:] CITY, Twelve o'clock.—Consols opened this itorning at 792 1., and were done at 4 and-;,. An Express arrived from Paris this morning, bringing the French Funds at 87f. 50c. ; but up to this hour we do not hear that the above Ex , press brings any information of consequence. In the Foreign Market there has been a good deal of business doing in New Spanish and Colmobian Bonds, which fluctuate continually in their prices. The Foreign journals received since our las are unusually barren of intelligence. In the awful pause before the final resolution of the trench Cabinet respecting Spain, we are not even furnished with speculations of any interest on the probable causes which may still influence the decision,—on the political motives which may even yet avert hostilities, —or on the comparative strength and chances of success possessed by the two great parties to a war, in the event of its breaking out. A kind of stupor ,seems to have seized the faculties of political writers ; and in the uncertainty which continues to hang over the question, they appear to be not only incapable of anticipating its result, but of taking a Statesman-like view of the consequences which may arise, if the peace of Europe shall be disturbed. We are not Without hope that the energy of Great Britain may even yet give a desirable pre ponderance to the friends of repose in the Coun cils of France, and that by the unequivocal ma tifestation of a resolution to make common cause with Spain, if persuasives should be found inef fectual, the English Government will compel Prance to yield them that deference which was refused to their wishes at Verona. The present situation of Europe has given another and - an irresistible proof of the truth of the pro position, that the interests of England will be -secure in proportion to the degree of freedom ,possessed by the Continental Nations. Three or four Sovereigns, invested with unlimited power, may at any time unite with facility to h er prejudice; and if the whole of the Continent be either under their immediate do- minion, or in part parcelled out amongst Go vernment. dependent upon them for protection, it is obvious that their hostile confederacy 'mist be destructive of her prosperity and power. On th e other hand, in proportion to the popular form and spirit whicl , may be communicated and in stilled into the Continental Governments, must be the difficulty of uniting them for any coin- Thon purpose, not clearly demonstrated to be for th e equal advantage of all. The per sonal ambition or aggrandizement of absolute Monarchs may be gratified by enterprises which are very far from being conducive to the real in terests or happiness of their subjects. If the latter, therefore, have any important share in the direction of their own affairs, it is scarcely pos- sible that in a great number of states an unjust or unprincipled combination should appear to all to be at any time equally desirable.

There have been several arrivals this morning 'rom America, by the fast-sailing ship Hudson, to the 17th November. [From the Paper of the 16th Nov.] FROM PORTO Rico.—A letter from St. John's, dated the 17th ult., states as follows :—" Re specting the threatened attack upon this Island, we have little to fear, as the principal ring leaders, who have had their commission from the Government of St. Domingo, have been secured, and some of them shot, and several vessels with men in arms have been detained at Curacoa." FROM THE BRAZILS.-The Blucher, at Balti more, brought Buenos Ayres Papers to the 7th, and Rio to the 26th Sept. Preparations were making to crown the Prince Regeitt as Em peror on the 12th of October, as also for defence against his Mother Country in case of resistance. For the latter purpose 400,000 milreas has been borrowed of the merchants. Many European Portuguese were preparing to quit the Courts. — Eight thousand troops had already been raised in and about Rio, two vessels of war were fitting out, and all the points on the coast were about being fortified ; all persons opposed to Govern ment had been ordered to leave the country. IMPORTANT FROM CANTON, MAY 10. The Emperor of this country having by some means discovered the disgraceful conduct of the Mandarins at and about Canton, has issued an imperial Decree to the High Officers about his Court, to inquire into the conduct of these people, and to report correctly the nature of the transaction M' ith the English at Lintin, and the measures which have been pursued in regard to the introduction of opium. Thirty Mandarins are already imprisoned. This examination, it is thought, will produce important results. F►to:►t PERNAMBUCO.—On the 16th September a mob and part of the troops insisted in a tumul tuous manner that the President and Members of the Junta should be turned out, which object they effected in a few days. The President fled to Rio in the British Packet. It was feared there would be some fighting between the troops and citizens, who were in favour of the Govern ment. A new President and Junta were elected, and all was quiet again. FROM Sr. SALVADOR. -- We learn from St. Sal vador that the city was closely besieged ; a par tial engagement took place, and after some slight skirmishing the Brazilians retired without the city. The gossips of the Continent have been spe culating lately on a very ludicrous idea, in con sequence of some supposed extraordinary atten tions paid by the Duke of WELLIN(‘TON to the Archduchess MARIA LOUISA, indicative, in their prolific imagination, of a still more intimate re lation between the Courts of London and Vienna!!! Some English Journalists seem to have been silly enough to attach importance to this wild conjecture ! _ _ Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, Downing street, which,was attended by the same numerous assemblage of Cabinet Ministers as on Tuesday. The Council broke up about five o'clock. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Foreign Office from the Duke of WELLINGTON. Letters were received yesterday at Lloyd's from the agents to that establishment at Batavia (via Rotterdam), dated Aug. 19, containing the following intelligence :—The Richmond, of Lon don, KAY, from Port Jackson to Batavia, was totally lost on Hog Island on the 31st of July. The crew were fortunately saved by the Abno rah, WINTER, and carried to Batavia. The Mary Ann, WARRINGTON, from Port Jackson, arrived at Batavia o❑ the sth of August, after being on shore. The Hon. Company's ships Princess Amelia, Marquis of Huntley, and Lady Melvile, from London, arrived in the Straits of Sunda on the 2d of August, and proceeded on the 11th for China. Various arrivals at Batavia, and sailings from thence, are contained in the letters. PLUNDERING OF A VESSEL ON SHORE.-White haven, Dec. 3.—The sloop Mary, of and from Dublin, to this port, lately driven on shore off Nethertown, has not been got off. Yesterday week, whilst the master was here procuring as sistance,,he bad the whole of his clothes stolen from the vessel ; and on Tuesday the tiller was taken from on board. NEWSPAPERS.-Yesterday the Proprietor of the Observer Newspaper was sued in the Court of Requests, Castle-street, by Mr. Taylor, of the Strand, tailor, for 155., being the amount which the plaintiff had paid for the insertion of au advertisement. It appeared that in the print ing of the advertisement a trilling mistake had been committed, which the advertiser considered injurious to his literary character in the estima tion of his customers ; and he therefore insisted that his money should be refunded, or that the advertisement should be correctly re-inserted, gratis. The Court decided in favour of the de fendant, on the ground that the inaccuracy was an accidental error, which did not affect the sense. CANOVA:—We regret that there is no likeli hood of an engraving from the admirable portrait of this departed Genius by Sir THOMAS LAW RENCE, at least in this country, as the picture was given by the Artist as a memorial of friendship to CANOVA, who carried it abroad.—The last picture of the KING, painted by Sir THOMAS, is, by all accounts, the best portrait of his MAJEsTY which this great Artist ever produced ; and this report implies as high a panegyric as can be offered to the Art itself. DRURY-LAN E.—The Opera of Guy Mannering was repeated last night, but without any notice able novelty.—lt was followed by a new farce, entitled Old and Young, written purposely to draw forth the talents of that little prodigy Miss CLARA FISHER. We regret that we have not room to dilate on the plot, and can only say, that, first as a Military Boy, she beats a drum, and assumes martial airs with great spirit and humour. In the second character she is a gorged little glutton, a sort of Liliputian Alder man, in which, in size and affected voracity, she was not less exact in the portrait. Her third character was that of a Bond-street Petit Maitre, in which, if possible, she was still more success ful. These characters she assumes in order to disgust a rich uncle of her father, who wants a troop of boys to inherit his fortune, but her her father happens to have only one child, a daughter. The old man is completely dis gusted with his supposed three grand nephews. She then appears in the proper character of his grand Niece, and by her tender and soothing manners enchants the old Gentleman, and brings about a reconciliation between him and his Ne phew, and he consents to receive the wife of the latter, the marriage with whom had occasioned all his anger. We have often noticed the very extraordinary talents of this charming little girl, and every time we see her our admiration is con firmed. She possesses real genius for the stage, and, if it increases in proportion as site ad vances in life, she will probably become one of the very first comic actresses that have ap peared on the London Boards. But it should be observed in justice to her various merits, that in the part of the Daughter, she manifested great sensi bility. The audience testified their applause with great fervency through the whole of her ' performance. COVENT GARDEN.--There was a much more numerous audience to Maid Marian last night than could be expected considering the stormy state of the weather. Mr. C. KEMBLE'S Friar 'Puck and Miss M. TREE'S Maid Marian were again peculiarly prominent in merit and effect, and the opera altogether excited interest and abundant applause. MozART.—We extract the following interes. ing anecdote of the early excellence of this eminent Composer from Grimm's Correspond- ence Wonders will never cease ! The leader of the choir of the church at Salzburg, named \lozart, has just arrived here with two of the prettiest children imaginable : his daughter, who is only eleven years old, plays upon the harpsicord in the most brilliant style, and performs the most difficult pieces with an astonishing precision. Her brother, who is not quite seven years old is such an extraordinary phenomenon, that we can scarcely credit our senses. It is nothing for this child to play the most difficult pieces, though his hands can hardly reach a sixth : it is really wonderful to see him compose for an hour at a time, and then give himself up to the inspiration of his genius, and to a crowd of delightful ideas which succeed one another with taste and without confusion. The most profound leader of a choir could not be more s skilled than he is in the science of harmony and melody, which he can conduct through the most uncommon but exact periods. He has such a know. ledge of the keys, that once when they were covered with a cloth, he played upon them with the. same rapidity and the same correctness. He comprehends with easel all that is put before him ; he writes and composes with an astonish ing facility, and without going to the harpsichord to find his cords. I wrote a minuet for him, and asked hum to put the bass to it; the child took the pen, and without looking at the harpsichord, did it. You may imagine that he can, without difficulty, play any air that is put before him in a particular key ; but I have seen him do something else equally wonder ful. A lady asked him the other day, if he could accompany by ear an Italian song which she knew by heart ? She began to sing, the child tried a bass, which was not quite correct; for it is impossible to prepare beforehand the accompaniment to a tune which we do not know ; but when the air was finished, he asked the lady to begin it again, and he not only played with his right hand the tune of the air, but with the other he played the bass with the greatest ease. Afterwards he asked her to begin again, ten times following, and every time he changed his accompaniment; he would have made her repeat it twenty times, if he had not been stopped. I suspect this child would turn my brain if I were to hear him often ; he makes me tancy that it is difficult to guard against madness when we see prodigies. In the new Tragedy of The thiguenot, shortly to be acted at Covent-garden Theatre, we under stand Mr. SHIEL has introduced some alterations and changes in the play, which were not there originally ; and which are likely to conclude i❑ an especial manner to its success. The character intended for Miss F. 11. KELLY is drawn with peculiar delicacy and force. ASTLEY CHAPEL.—A writ of quare ienpedit against the Rev. JOSEPH llonmoNsoN (Vicar of Leigh,) the Rev. THOS. BIRKETT, and the Bishop of CnEsTca, was on Thursday personally served on the two former Defendants at Leigh, and nailed to the door of Astley Chapel, as a notice to his Lordship. We understand the cause cannot come on for trial at Lancaster before the Summer Assizes.—( Liverpool Advertiser.) On Friday last the Duke of Buccleugh gave his annual do nation of 2.0/. to the poor of Dalkeith. The late Duke, his fa ther, requested it to be given on the anniversary of the birth day of his lamented Duchess, as a token of her many charities. It is with much regret we learn that the Par liamentary Commissioners are not to visit Glas gow this season. They were to have been here to constitute a Board this week, and so certain was this considered, that they were engaged to dine with gentlemen in this neighbourhood three -days ago. Unexpectedly, and at a short notice, the whole leave Edinburgh for Loudon. Some Irish gentlemen appointed to meet them here have been directed to follow them to the Capital. What can have occasioned this sudden alteration in their plans we know not, but regret, and we are sure that the whole commercial world here will regret, their sudden departure, as it was in this City where they could have obtained the most exten sive and useful information regarding the shackles which annoy and injure our foreign trade--- 7 the abuses carried on in our internal trade — and a knowledge of the remedies the most cer tain to relieve the one and remove the other. — Something of a pressing nature must have occur red to prevent these Honourable Gentlemen from again visiting this great Commercial City, upon their important mission, as was their first deter mination. The object of their commission can not be completed, without an investigation in Glasgow.—(Glasgow Courier, Dec. 3.) FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. Lord Wm.-Lennox, at Hodgson's Hotel, Dover-street, from Brighton ; Capt. Chas. Rich, R.N., at the St. James's Hotel, Jermyn-street, from Berkshire; Rev. Mr. Butler, at Fenton's Hotel, St. James's-street, from Berks ; Hyde Parker, Esq. at ditto, from Suffolk; Sir Henry Oxendon, Bart. at Mivart's Hotel, Lower Brook-street, from Broome-park, near Canter bury; Lady and Miss Stuart, at Kirkham's Hotel, Lower Brook-street, from a tour. DEPART URE S.—James Eden, Esq. from Hodgson's Hotel, Dover-street, for the Continet ; Capt. and Mrs. Lewis, from Mivart's Hotel, Lower Brook-street, for Bath ; Mr. and Mrs. Rawlinson, from the Pulteney Hotel, Piccadilly, for Hants; J. Shirley, Esq. from ditto, for Brighton ; M. Beresford, Esq. from Kirkham's Hotel, Lower Brook-street, for Pool. The Earl of Mexborough has returned to town, and the do mestic circle has been encreased by the presence of the Countess of Warwick. The Dowager Marchioness of Hertford still continues at Hastings in Sussex. Her Ladyship has no intention to dis pose of the mansion in Manchester-square; on the contrary, the same splendid assemblies will be held as formerly. The Cenotaph for the late Princess CHARLOTTE is at last finished; but it is not yet determined in what part of West minster Abbey it shall be placed. Our insertion of yesterday respecting the property left by the late Mr. EDWARD JOHN of.t.oND, was incorrect. The amount returned to the Stamp-office by the Executors is rather above five hundred thousand pounds, and is bequeathed to his brother and numerous relations.—( Morning Post.) P 0 E T It Y. THE HINDOO WIDOW. Where is thy dwelling, my early love ? Is it where those clouds are dancing ? Is it where those stars are glancing ? Is thy home in the bright blue sky above ? Yes, thou art gone to those starry bowers, Where the golden waves are glowing Over gems in music flowing, Where never storm ruffles the summer flowers. But is not thy bright home sad to thee ? Can another world give bliss ? Dearer than our love in this ? Dust thou not sigh in thy bower for me ? Think how we dwelt in the desert place ; How I loved the setting sun, When the toil of the day was done, And you came with the spoil of the hunter's race. But our love was like the dawn-flower's bloom, In the morn like that morning's light, Faded when all else is bright ' • Yet memory's left in its lone perfume. We were too happy to be so long ; We were so blest in our lonely bower ; But the storm hangs over the sunniest hour, And the serpent follows the sweetest song. Yet again our hour of meeting 's nigh ; I left my father's halls for thee ; • Death for thy sake is sweet to me ; Our love was form'd for eternity. My only child is sleeping there, With smile too young for aught of grief, Like love upon a lotus leaf, Calm as spring, as summer fair. My boy, the kiss I give 's the last Thy lips will ever have from me ; Now I have said Farewell to thee, • The bitterness of death is past. Come, give the bridal robe, and twine The crimson blossoms round my brow ; My step is on the pile; and now, My love, my life, for ever thine. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING-ROOM, DEC. 5..

MILLER'S LAST DAY'S TASK.—He started yesterday morn ing from the Pigeons, to accomplish his toil of four successive days,:undertaking to walk 54 miles each day in 14 hours, precisely at five o'clock, and went the first 141 miles 28 m. before 9 ; 21 miles more by 10 in. past 9 ; 2 by 25 to 10; 2 by 10 ; 2, 26 past 10; 2, by 8 in. to 11 ;2,by19 m. past 11; 2, by 10 to 12 ; and 5, by 8 m. to I.—here he stopped for the first time in the day, and took dinner, making a delay of only 16 m. ; he then proceeded and went 8 miles by 3 o'clock; 8, by 5; and the last 8, by 31 in. before 7 o'clock, to the Crown and Barley Slow, Gray's Inn-lane—thus accomplishing his arduous undertaking. Miller started in good spirits, the air was frosty, and every thing seemed favourable to him ; he kept on well until dinner time, when he was obliged to change his shoes, being extremely wet and uncomfortable. He had not proceeded far on the road, be fore he found they did not sit easy on his feet, and he was so un fortunately situated as not to be enabled to change them ; they caused him great pain, and nothing but his extreme intrepidity enabled bins to bear up in his situation. The rain commenced when within the last six miles of completing his journey, which with the torture he endured almost every step he took from the shoes, had nearly lost his match. When he arrived in Gray's Inn-lane he seemed greatly fatigued. Miller is as re solute a walker as we ever saw ; but he cried out repeatedly on the road, and at last got quite cross-sick, observing " this was the hardest day's work he had ever done. He had frequently done wonders both in running and walking for one day, but he pledged himself never to undertake a walk of four days any more." WRIGHT may be justly called a Game Chicken, for he started off from Gray's Inn-lane yesterday , morning at three o,clock, got to the six miles to Stratford, and then walked the ground with Miller for amusement, and came back as fresh as • a/our-year old. THE DECCAN PRIZE CAUSE.

BARBAROUS OUTRAGE.—On Monday night, as John Spaight, a tide-waiter, from Kilrush, was returning from Limerick, he overtook a person named James Naylon, with a car, on the road, on which he got and rode to Clare, where, after he and Naylon had taken some drink, they were proceeding towards this town (Ennis) until near the turn pike, when Naylon led the horse off the road sonic distance ; here, being joined by several others, they took a hogshead off the car, and concealed it under some straw, on which Spaight ob served to Naylon that the vessel contained some illicit goods ; the vessel was again put on the car, and Spaight left the party to proceed on his journey, when he was followed by Naylon and others, and beaten in a most savage and inhuman manner until they thought he was dead ; and, lest he might survive after this barbarous treatment, they carried large stones, and threw them with violence on his head and body to ensure the work of de struction ; after which one of the ruffians held his ear to Spaight's mouth, to try if any symptoms of life remained, when, being satisfied that their object was perfected, they went away. After some time Spaight began to breathe, and recovered so flir as tobe able, after the greateststiuggle,toreach the Police Office. Mr. Weldon, with his usual promptitude, on learning the cir cumstance, set out with a party of the police, and brought hi several persons on suspicion, two of whom, Naylon, and one Kennedy, have been fully identified and committed to gaol by Major Warburton. Spaight is in such a dangerous state, that no hopes are entertained of his recovery. It seems that one of Capt. Holaham's Revenue Corps, on his way from Dublin to this town (Ennis), came up with the above party, and, suspect ing the lading to be illicit spirits, made the best of his way to town, previously to the attack on Spaight, and gave immediate information to his Captain, who lost no time in apprising Lieut. Breen and John D'Arcy, officers of Excise, who proceeded to the spot, and succeeded in seizing two large vessels of spirits, which they conveyed into this town, and lodged them in the King's stores. To praise the entire of the individuals for their conduct on the above occasion is unnecessary, as the statement fully proves the active part Mr. Weldon hail taken to appre hend the ruffians, as well as the promptitude used by Lieu tenant Breen and Mr. D'Arcy, in securing the spirits.—(Ennis Paper.) AN EXTRAORDINARY CAT.—Last week, while a shoemaker, in the south side of Edinburgh, was engaged in cleaning a cage in which he kept a lark, he left the door of the cage open, of which the bird took advantage, and flew away by a window at which the owner was then standing. The lark being a favourite, its loss was much lamented. But it may he imagined what was the surprise of the house, when in about an hour and a half the cat belonging to the same person made its appearance with the lark in its mouth, which it held by the wings over the back, in such a manner that the bird had not received the least injury. The cat, after droppin: , it on the floor, looked up to those who were observing her, and mewed, as if to attract attention to the capture. The lark now occu pies it wiry prison, with the same noisy cheerfulness as befbre its singular adventure. Late on Monday evening last, as several drovers were hurrying some oxen through Whitechapel, one of them, being too much goaded, darted from the herd among a number of foot passengers, causing the utmost confusion, and upsetting several persons, particularly a poor old woman, who was sitting before a little stand of apples; she was shockingly gored, and left apparently dead. In a few mo ments after the infuriated animal attacked a man with a load on his shoulders, who was also grievously hurt, and a poor little chimney-sweeper had one of his arms lacerated. They were all carried to the London Hospital. There is little hope of the woman's recovery. Oa ne t r to pox' ftei the idge, [rev di,, o ftC rA f , /I„ceti /, 9 19 ' Cro 4 ;
