GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)

Mr. Clamp, of Aldersgate-street, a pavinbrolter, ap-
plied to Mr. Alderman White under the following cir-
cumstances :—Two sweeps came to his shop and of-
fered for pawn a valuable gold ring, for the possession
of which they did not account to his satisfaction. They
said they had found it concealed under a brick on the
roof of a house in the Broadway, Blackfriars, where
they were employed to sweep chimneys. Mr. Clamp ac-
companied them to the house, and from all that he could
learn from Mr. Smith, the owner of the house, their
story, however improbable, seemed to be true ; and Mr.
Smith considered himself entitled to the property, as it
was found on his premises. The sweeps bore good
characters, and Mr. Clamp wished his Worship to ad-
vise what he should do—whether he should give
the ring back to the sweeps, or to Mr. Smith.
Mr. Alderman WHITE, on examining the ring, found
upon it the inscription, " Edward Browne, born May
14, 1786 ; died 26th April, 1837." He said the ring
should be detained in the office and advertised, as there
could be little doubt that it had been stolen, and an ad-
vertisement would find the owner.

After the Cabinet Council which was held at Paris on t

of peace or war.
Letters from Vienna to the 30th of September state
that the Metalliques of Five ptr Cents. fell to 1041,
and the Four per Cents. to 99, on the news received
from Constantinople.
The intelligence which the Ministers received from
different points in Italy was not of a favourable des-
cription. It appears that great fermentation prevails
in the whole of the Appeoincs, where secret plots are
forming, and already numerous arrests hare taken
place in Romagna ; and in the kingdom of Naples, it
is stated, from an authentic source, that important con-
tracts have been made by the War Department for the
provisioning several Corps d'Armee. Ten thousand
Austrians are to be concentrated on the frontiers of
' Turkey to act with the Russians against Ibrahim
Pach a.
Tne following is from the Journal of Antwerp, of
yesterday's date :----
BOURSE OF AMSTERDANI, OCTOBER 16, 1840.—
The news received to-day from Paris was in general
thought to be very alarming. That, joined to the fall
in the funds in London on Saturday, caused a reaction
in our Bourse. There were a great many sellers of the
Inteerales, and in the Actions of the Society of Commerce;
the first fell to 47i, and the second 156. The other
national funds followed the same course ; above all, the
Syndicate 4i to 3,i per mit. A great deal was done
in Integrates ; Ardoiii's Spanish fell to :12- per cent.
