Con sols opened at 81 to 1-, and remained steady at the above price up to this hour, with the market rather heavy, oil account of the great delivery of Reduced this morning. The Foreign Market is also very dull, and little or no busi ness transacting. The contents of the Paris Journals are again Uninteresting as respects the important question / 0.1) )r s i ce o i a of Peace or War, if we except the strong repre. sentations addressed to the KING by the Cham. bers of Commerce and of Manufactures, which describe, in forcible terms, the evils already pro duced by the prospect of hostilities, and the still more frightful evils to which their actual corn. mencement must inevitably give birth. These documents could not fail to have some in fluence on the momentous decision of the French Government upon its relations with Spain.—The Quotidienne, one of the most furious of the warlike journals, and, as our Readers will see from the extract which we have • taken from it, one of the most frantic and senseless, will not believe that peace has been concluded with Spain, because no one can tell where or by whom the Treaty of Peace was signed! !! Perhaps the Quotidienne can inform the world where , and by whom an existing war between France and Spain has been or is carried on ! War has not yet been commenced ; and therefore the continu ance of Peace does not depend upon the conclusion of a Treaty, but simply upon a reso lution on the part of France not to violate the present amicable relations. The document for which Europe has been looking with so much apprehension, is not a Treaty of Peace, but a Declaration of War; and if the latter should not make its appearance, a formal Treaty of Peace may be dispensed with. The news from Constantinople is most favour able for the cause of the injured Greeks. We predicted that the financial distress to which the Porte was some time since evidently reduced, was only the precursor of embarrassments and commotions which would transfer its cares from the insurrection in the Morea to dangers nearer the seat of the Government. The Janissaries and the populace of Constantinople have already, it appears ; broken out into seditious and mu . tinous excesses, and have compelled the SULTAN to depose the printipal Officers of State. These facts are communicated on the authority of the Austrian Observer, which has always devoted itself to the interests of the ferocious and brutal Turks. The domestic danger to which the Porte has been exposed, we may be assured, is far from being exaggerated.—The satisfaction which these indications of the dissolution of the Ottoman Domination are calculated to excite, is diminished by the consideration that its territory will become an easy prey to Russia, as soon as the latter Power shall be fully prepared to atack it. .... ___ FRENCH FUNI)3.—DEC 14. • Five per Cents.

BRIGHTON, DEC. 15.—The KING, as usual on the Sabbath, attended Divine Service this morn ing in the Palace Chapel. The Lord Steward was in the same pew with his Majesty. An ele gant and impressive discourse was delivered from the pulpit by the Dean of Hereford. A well dressed congregation, admitted by tickets, filled the body of the Chapel. The King, habited in blue, and, wearing a small star, looked remark hbly well. Yesterday being the anniversary of the birth day of Prince LEOPOLD of COBURG, the houses of the tradesmen of his Royal - Highness were illuminated in the evening. A dividend of 20s. in the pound is announced by the late Denbigh Bank of Messrs. CLOUGHS, MASAN, and Co. Extract of a letter from the agents to Lloyd's at Smyrna, dated the 31st of October :—" The situation of this place continues perfectly tran quil, and more satisfactory for future prospects, in consequence of very rigorous measures being at length adopted by the Governor of the city to repress the turbulent populace; and many of the ringleaders in the late disorders have been publicly executed. From the quarters of hosti lities no intelligence of any interest has lately been received." A duel was fought early yesterday morning at Golder's Green, between Mr. F-- and Mr. A--, in which the latter was wounded in the shoulder; but the ball did not lodge. M. was conveyed in a post-chaise to Hampstead, where surgical aid was at hand. The dispute that caused the meeting, it was said, related •to money matters. In consequence of the death of the Earl of TANIERYILLE, a vacancy has occurred in the re presentation of the Borough of Berwick; and we understand Rear-Admiral Sir J. P. BERESFORD has commenced an active canvass to succeed Lord OSSULSTON, who is called up to the House of Peers. Other Candidates are spoken of, and a strong contest is expected. On Saturday last, Mr. HENRY LYFORD, jun. was elected one of the Coroners of Winchester, in the room of his father ; and Messrs J GODSELL, M. MARSHALL, W. BRACE WELL, and . R. . MAT TnEws, W were chosen Constables of the City. We are happy to contradict the statement of Admiral HoL LOWAY'S death, which was copied into our last Paper from a cotemporary print: the Admiral, whose long and meritorious public services are duly appreciated, is in tolerable health, at his seat near Wells, Somersetshire.—(Hampshire Telegraph.) We are happy to hear that T . THISTLETHWAYTE, Esq. of Southwick Park, has made a handsome donat ion of 501. to purchase a Bell for the use of the new Chapel of St. Paul's, Portsmouth. The Hon. and Rev. HOWARD, son of the Earl of CARLISLE, is appointed, by the Archbishop, to be Suci:enter Canonicorum and Prebendary of Holme, in York Cathedral. The Rev. GEORGE Bows ass has been presented by the Lord Chancellor to the Rectory of Rokeby, vacant by the death of the Rev. JAMES WILKINSON. The officers of the Customs of Sunderland, on Friday, pre sented a piece of plate, to Mr. WM. SMITH, of the Collector's office, in testimony of his long and faithful services. On Thursday last wai held the annual meeting of the trus tees of the Charity Estates of the late Sir E. Meals, Bart., when after ordering the several payments to be made to the eight incumbents appointed by his will, a surplus of 3301. was appropriated to the, assistance of five other Clergymen.— ( N.:rthanzpton Mercury, Dec. 14.) Yesterday Mr. JOHN HUNT appeared before Mr. Justice HoLactln, at his Chambers, and entered into a recognizance with two sureties, to appear and answer to the indictment lately found against him On the prosecution of the Constitu tional Association for the publication of the " Liberal." The arrangements for lighting Paris with gas are in a state of great forwardness. That side of the Palais Royal parallel to the Rue de Richelieu is quite prepared, and the pipes are laid in the Rue St. Honore, extending into the Rue de Richelieu. Several shops in the Faubourg St. Honore, and opposite to the gallery of the Louvre, have adopted that mode of lighting. MELANCHOLY CASE OF SUICIDE. --A Mr. THOMAS, a respectable solicitor, went into the Langbourn Coffee-house, Fenchurch-street, yesterday morning about ten o'clock, and retired into the front room, first floor, ordering the waiter to bring him a pen and ink. The waiter on his return found him lifeless : in his absence he had drawn a brace of pistols from his pocket, with one of which he had shot himself dead ; the other was by his side loaded. The Coroner was to hold an inquest on the body this day. " I wonder," said -a woman of humour, " why my husband and I quarrel so often, for we agree uniformly in one grand point; he wishes to be master ) and so do I." THE THEATRES. e DRURY LANE.—As we have already noticed sufficiently the representation of Venice Preserved, at this. Theatre, it is only necessary to state that it was again represented last night, and . that Mr. YOUNG and Mr. KEAN in Pierre and Ja f fier were, as usual, abundantly applauded by their respective admirers. COVENT GARDEN.-We have not the pleasure of knowing Miss LACY more than as an actress, but she possesses so 'much merit that we rejoiced to see her again upon the boards last night. We understand from some criti cal old Stagers who remember Mrs. CIBBER, that in her person and acting Miss LACY strongly resembles that celebrated ornament of the stage, except that she is taller. Miss LACY resumed the part of Belvidera on this occasion, and sus tained the part with feeling and admirable skill throughout. She can now hardly be styled a promising actress, for she performed the character with all requisite ability. As to Mr. CHARLES KEmur.r.'s Jajier, it was so masterly and affect ing a performance altogether, that it may not only be pronounced his own chef d'oeuvre, but the best of the London Stage. We were glad to see Mr. MACREADY last night, in Pierre, throw off the trammels of imita tion, and present the character with heroic spirit and dignified animation. The inter view between him and Mr. C. KEMBLE after the Senate scene was so characteristically sup ported on both sides as deservedly to excite warm, reiterated, and universal applause.—We conceive that as competition is so attractive at the other House, Miss LACY and Miss F. H. KELLY should be brought together in Jane Shore and Alicia, and any other characters to which their abilities are respectively best suited. WESTMINSTER SCHOOL. --- The Eunuch of I TERENCE was last night repeated at this great source of classical education. We have already mentioned the names of the young Performers, and we have only to observe again, that they sus tained their respective characters in such a man ner as to do honour to themselves and to their instructors. The place was crowded almost beyond example, and the applause abundant. — The Duke of YORK honoured the performers with his presence, and among other distinguished persons who attended were, his Grace the Duke of SOMERSET, Lord SID:►IUUTII, Mr. CANNING, the VICE-CHANCELLOR, the RECORDER, Mr. CHARLES WYNN, Mr. COURTENAY, Dr. PHILLi- MORE, Mr. WILMOT, &C. Chichester Beast Market, on Wednesday last, very far surpassed all former exhibitions. it has been for many centuries, an extensive Mart for Cattle, exceeded by few in the Kingdom, and for superior quality, by none.—The part selected for the Shew, was crowded by Noblemen,Gentlemen, the skilful Breeders, and great Agriculturists, not only of the neighbour hood, but from distant parts; and the Amateurs passed high encomiums on every class, for symmetry, size, and fatness. About 130 Gentlemen and Farmers dined at the Swan Inn. Charles Scras Dickens, Esq. in the Chair.—The various prizes were distributed with the soundest judgment and impartiality, as follows : FIRST CLASS.—A silver cup, value ten guineas, to Mr. R. Husker, for the best fat Ox.—A silver cup, of six guineas, to Mr. H. Sparkes, for the second best fat Steer, or Ox.—A silver cup, value ten guineas, to Mr. F. Neale, for the best fat Runt. —A silver cup, value six guineas, to the Duke of Richmond, for the second best fat Runt. SECOND CLASS.—A silver cup. value eight guineas, to Mr. Hayler, for the best fat Cow or Heifer.—A saver cup, the gift of the Duke of Richmond, value five guineas, to Mr. R. Cousens, of Barnham, for the second best fat Cow or Hear. THIRD CLASS.—A silver cup, value ten guineas, to Mr. T. Upton, for the ten best fat six-tooth or full mouthed South Down Wethers.—A silver cup, value eight guineas, to Mr. Copis, for the ten best fat four-tooth South Down 'Wethers.—A silver cup, value six guineas, to Mr. Cutfield, of Climping, for the ten best fat South Down Ewes.—A silver cup, value six guineas, to Mr. Thomas Collins, for the ten best fat Ewes of any description. Chichester Beast Market, in addition to the prize cattle, had a most excellent shew of beef and mutton, some prime of which obtained 3s. 6d. per stone ; but little variation in hogs, which were plentiful. The highest marks Of respect have been paid to the memory of thelate Mr.Gooncnrt,u,whose death we noticed in our last. The church bell of Bishopwearmouth was tolled several hours, during the morning of the day on which his fu neral took place in Scotland, where he died. Most of the re spectable inhabitants with whom he was acquainted, appeared in mourning on Sunday at divine service. We have been in duced to notice these circumstances, as in our opinion reflect ing great credit on the inhabitants of Bishopwearmouth and Sunderland. Wealth can always command outward marks of respect ; but those we have now noticed can only have proceed ed from spontaneous feelings towards the memory of an honest man, whose estimable qualities can never be forgotten by those who have witnessed his undeviating integrity, both in prospe rity and adversity.—( Durham Advertiser, Dec. 14.) ASTROLOGY.—The Caliph Ann JAAFFAR AL. MANSOR sent for a man who was celebrated as an astrologer, and ordered him to take his horo scope. After accurate calculations the sage told the Caliph that all pretenders to his throne would die before him. The astrologer was dismissed without a present. Another was introduced, who, after the usual ceremonies of casting a nativity, declared that he would outlive"all who could have any pretension to the Caliphant. This man was handsomely rewarded. The meaning of each prophecy was the same, the terms different. The former astrologer had mentioned death ; the latter had softened his speech by another and pleasanter expression. A person near Uttoxeter, a few days ago, who had obtained various credits of the public, died, and was buried. A few , days after, reports were abroad of his ghost being seen, and suspicions arose on the subject of his decease ; on which the coffin was taken up, and found to be filled with stones. The defunct debtor is still at large, and suspected to be practising on the living in some other place. On Saturday morning last, between twelve and one o'clock, an attempt was made by the resur rection men to disturb the dead in the burial ground of the parish of St. Mary, Lambeth, but the street watchman fortunately interrupted them at the moment they were raising the coffin from the grave. lie gave the alarm to Mr. Seager, thir sexton, who immediately went to the ground, but the fellows had made a precipitate retreat, leaving behind them the implements for their purposes, namely, two bags, two shovels, and a horse halter. The men are well known to .the sexton, who, with the assistance of the watchman is determined to put a stop to the robberies com . mitted in the burial ground of St. Mary. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

The anniversary of the Birth-day of her Majesty the QUEEN of the NETHERLANDS was celebrated with great ceremony on the 18th ult., at Brussels. In the morning the members of the Royal Family breakfasted with his Royal Highness Prince Frederick, and in the evening dined with the Prince of Orange. In the course of the day thre was a grand military parade. The latter part of the evening was devoted to the gay fascina tions of the ball-room. The assembly waS numerous and bril liant. Between 60 and 70 English Ladies were present, as well as iseveral Gentlemen. Two American Gentlemen also had the honour of entre upon the occasion; The whole town of Brussels was brilliantly illuminated. Lord Ravensworth and a part of his family have been upon a visit for a few days past to Lord Viscount Barrington, in the College here.

ON SEEING A TOMB ADORNED WITH ANGELS WEEPING. Though sculptors, with mistaken art, Place weeping angels round the tomb ; Yet when the good and great depart, These shout to bear their conquerors home. Glad they survey their labours o'er, And hail them to their native skies ; Attend their passage to the shore, And with their mounting spirits rise. Britain may mourn her Patriot dead, And pour her sorrows o'er his dust ; But streaming eyes and drooping head, 11l suit those guardians of the just. Parents may shed a tender tear, And friends indulge a parting groan ; If these in mimic form appear, Such pious grief becomes the stone. But if the wounded marble bear Celestial forms to grace the urn, Let triumph in their eyes appear— Nor dare to make an angel mourn. SPORTING INTELLiGENC BETTING-ROOM, DEC. If DEI iTATE OF THE ODDS.

Saturday se'nnight, the Winter Prize Medal, given by the Thistle Golf Club, was played for in Leith Links, and gained by George Logan, Esq.-W.S. SPORTING MATCH. The great sweepstakes trotting match of twenty miles be tween Captain Forrester's brown mare, Mr. Farquhar son's gelding Glory, and Mr. llunter's Grey Gelding, took place on Saturday, over a four mile piece of ground, in Lut terel Park, Oxon, for fifty sovereigns a-side. Glory was matched to do fifteen miles in one hour in November, and win ning it easy, he was backed at nearly even upon this occasion against the other two. The horses went off at not more than at the rate of twelve miles an hour, the mare leading. The first four miles were done in nineteen minutes, fourteen seconds. The second in twenty-two minutes, two seconds. Third in 23 minutes, 18 seconds. In the seventeenth the grey gelding was too far behind to have a chance of winning, and the rider pulled him up. The race became a neck-and-neck one be tween the mare and Mr. Farquharson) gelding, and the last four miles were done by the mare in twenty-four minutes and forty seconds, beating the gelding by about a hundred yards, she having done the ground in one hour, twenty-eight minutes, and four seconds.

ROBBERY OF THE EXETER COACH. MANSION-HousE.—John Baker, the guard of the Exeter subscription coach, out of which a parcel containing 1,0571. in Bank notes and 140 in light guineas was stolen some days ago, underwent a second examination yesterday before the LORD MAYOR. The house from which the notes were issued is that of Sparks and Co., of Exeter. Five of the 51. notes which were contained in the parcel were produced in the Justice-room and identified. 111 r. Richards, clerk in Sparks's Bank, stated, that he made an entry of the notes and packed them up for the guard, to whom he delivered them to carry to London. The parcel should have come to Hanker and Co.'s, No. 7, Fenchurch street, was directed in that manner, and wrapped up in a paper on which was the name of the guard. Witness_ stitched the parcel into the pocket of the guard, who did not object to its weight, and who had been very frequently entrusted with money under similar circumstances. The gold contained in the parcel did not render it heavier than the parcels sent by the house usually were. Mr. John Cock, a clerk in Hankey's Bank, stated, that the house had not received the parcel described. On the night of the Friday on which the robbery was said to have been commit ted, the guard came to him in Fenchurch-street, and said he had bad news to tell—a parcel was lost. Witness asked how that could be, and the guard replied that he had taken it out of his pocket and put it in the coach-seat. 'Witness detained him. until the return of Mr. Hankey, who, after some conversation, permitted him to deptrt, upon the promise to be in attendance next morning. The excuse he gave for taking the parcel from his pocket was, that he found it cumbersome. Mr. Thomas Alers Hankey stated that he received the five 5/. notes just produced from the house of Hanbury and Co., who stated that they were brought in on Saturday the 7th inst. Miss Holman stated, that she and another female came to town in the Exeter Subscription Coach. Upon the arrival of the coach at Piccadilly, the guard looked at the parcels in the seat, and at the same moment was addressed by a man who looked in at the opposite window. He took nothing out of the coach, but the man who had spoken to him, witness believed, soon after asked for the parcel, and witness raised the seat, and handed out a parcel with a white cover. Mrs. Susannah Martin, the other passenger from Exeter, stated that the guard acted in the manner described, but she did not observe that the man who asked for the parcel had pre viously spoken to the guard. Witness had a baby-in her arms, but was confident that her attention to the child could not have prevented her from hearing any conversation between the guard and the man who got possession of the parcel. Mr. Boone, from the house of Hanbury and Co., stated, that the five 51. notes produced were paid in on Saturday, the 7th instant. The prisoner's Solicitor here stated, that he wtis a man on whose integrity his employers had the utmost reliance. The evidence was not calculated to alter that opinion, for it was ob vious that he was alarmed at the loss, and betrayed all the anxiety of innocence. Under such circumstances it was to be hoped that the Lord Mayor would at once dismiss the case. The Solicitor for the prosecution submitted that there were at all events very strong grounds of suspicion. Certainly there had been reliance upon the honesty of the guard l both upon the part of the bankers and of the coach - ow ners ; but he would leave it to any common observer to decide whether that - reliance could now be continued. The Lord MAYOR said he should certainly make further inquiry into this most suspicious case. The height to which coach-robberies were carried, required that the utmost exertions should be made by the Magistracy. The guard, if he did not participate in the robbery, was at any rate guilty of the grossest negligence. He had received extra pay . for taking: care of the property of the bankers, and knew the importance of the par cels he was in the habit of receiving. However free from the more serious guilt, he was most unquestionably deserving of some privation for his culpable abandoment of the.parcel. His Lordship then remanded him till Friday. CRAMOND NEW BRIDGE.--- 7 ,011 Thursday the sth inst., the last of the foundations of thii extensive structure was laid in the northern abutment. On the occasion, Messrs. Forsyth, the contractors for the building , 'very liberally regaled their workmen with a hogshead of strong ale.. . The stone coffins, which were discovered in removing a quantity of earth at the 'northern approach to the • bridge, were evidently very ancient ; and from the great regularity in which they were arranged, one would conjecture that they bad all been deposited much about the same period, not unlikely after some feudal contest. About thirty of these tombs have now been dug up ; in one of them an antique key, of' an extraordi nary size, was found.—( Edinburgh Courant.) ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—OIi ,Saturday evening, at six o'clock, an interesting young woman, named Hannah Cockbill, attempted to put a period to ief existence by plunging into the canal, near the lock-house, Kentish. Town. A labourer passing by heard the plunge, and im mediately rendered asistance, but fell himself into the water. Mr. Smith, of the lock-house, succeeded in getting her out, and took her to his house, when Pr. Blackstone and another Medical Gentleman were sent for, by whoie united exertions it is hoped she will recover, although at present very ill from the effects of the water. , A BOXING MATCH will take place to-morrow, between Granger, the navigator, and Matthews, the Warminster man. for twenty sovereigns a-side. It is to takeplace within ten in les of Maidenhead. Matthews is the favourite. There has been a curious trial at Jersey, of three young men belonging to the troops of the island, for misconduct and unaccountable beha viour when in the ranks, which gave offence to the Commander. It happened In the Castle market, when the troops were under arms. — Three of them gave loud hnzzas for a favourite officer, and one of the drummers beat his drum. They have been sentenced to a small Punishment. (Southampton Journal.) v veo Oc t , 40 DP
