A Cabinet Council will be held on a day to he fixed
between to-morrow and Saturday next, during which in-
terval, the Members have received notice to bold them-
' selves in readiness to attend. It is calculated, that, at the
ensuing General Election, about twelve new opponents will
be added to the number already adverse to Catholic Eman-
cipation; this will, of course. tend to remove the prospect
of that event to • much further distance than bad come
time ago been contemplated.

CITY, SATURDAY EVINIXO.
Consols were done at BSI, buyers, all day, and
.the
market was almost without business.

The Foreign Stock Exchange was equally insipid, with
scarcely any transactions doing in it. The following prices
were reported, hut they were chiefly nominal. Greek
IScrip 171 17 discount ; Colombian Bonds 771 A ; Mexican
Scrip 9 81 discount ; the New Guatemala ditto 91 t; and
the Brazilian ditto 874 discount. Jobbers did not seemi
to care whether they transacted business or not, and the
Market did not appear to have a move in it. Spanish
Bonds continued, in common with other Securities, in a very
uninteresting state, the Old at 211, and the New at 161 11,
when, about half an hour before the close of the Market/
the former suddenly dropped to 20, and the latter to 1d•
We made every inittlry as to the cause, but without effect.
The dry fact of the condition of Spoia was given as a
reason ; but the-condition of Spain was as well known at
11 o'clock in the morning, as at half-past three in the
afternoon, and no one seemed to be aware of any fresh
arrival from that country.
There were a few bargains done in Castello Shares at SI,
which were nearly all the transactions done in the Share
Market.

As far as appearances may be relied upon from private
business done in Mincing-lane to-day, Colonial produce
will keep its price next week.

' The Promenades at the three Spas were again nume-
rously attended this morning, the weather being rentarkahly

mending this season of t'oe year as one of the best for
drinking the watt's.

of the day, to hirdlip, where are some extensive and de-
lightful views—to Mr. Dodd's detached cottages, which
are curiously built—to the Roman Pavement on the estate
of Sir John Hicks—to the Seven Springs, where the River

On the evening of yesterday week, Mr, Canning passed
through Skipton. A large concourse of individuals was
assembled to obtain a sight of him, but the darkness of the

their expectations. The Right Hon. Gentleman, however,
having entered one of the front parlours of the Devonshire
hotel, where he had some business with Sir James
Mackintosh, a good view was obtained of both gentlemen.
Mr. Canning shortly after departed amidst the cheering of
numerous spectators.--Leeds Merury.

Miss Paton, was seized with indispositten (luring her per-
formance in Broken Promises on Friday evening, and was
compelled to omit several airs. She was to have played
Zertina in the Libertine, on Saturday, but on account of

foimed. The rompiiv was substituted.
