STOCK EXCHANGR, TWELVE► O'CLOCK.

Consols opened this morning at S for the Account, at which
rice they remain steady, with little or nothing doing.
In the Foreign Market little is doing. Spanish Bonds are much
the same as on Saturday, owing, it is supposed, to the reanciatiotl
being broken I.ff with a certain person who went there to contract
for a New I.ohn.

Believing sincerely that a good understanding be-
tween the two most powerful Nations of the Old and
New Hemispheres is conducive not only to the happi-
ness of their respective citizens but to the cause of hu-
manity at large, we conceive that the sober-minded of
both countries will agree with us in deprecating such
foolish and mischievous Associations as that to which
we have alluded. Beiides, it is little creditable to the
state of learning, morals, or political wisdom, in Ame-
rica, to see one of her Judges descend from the decent,
gravity of the Bench to preside over a knot of men
whose avowed purpose it is to light up the flames of
civil war among the citizens of a friendly nation.
What would the Americans say, if Chief Justice Assort
or Mr. Justice BAYLEY, were to head a Meeting at the
Crown and Anchor Tavern, the object of which should
be to produce a separation of the United States?—They
.(ould say that it would be difficult to pronounce whe-
ther the disgrace or folly of the thing preponderated•
Now the childish vanity of the good people of New
York, is every whit as conspicuous in their imagining
that they can rouse the sympathy of the crowned
heads of Europe in behalf of the Catholics of Ireland,
by means of the frothy declamation of recreant Irish-
men, whose epistles, we will venture to predict, will only
be another volume of " Rejected Addresses." .

Hamburgh Papers to the 13th inst. and Brussels
Papers to the 18th inst., reached us this morning.
They contain no news. The following article, under
the head of Brussels, appears in a Journal of Liege:
" The refugees of various countries, now in this city,
conclact themselves in an exemplary manner, they are
not even looked after by the Police, and certainly the
precaution would be very useless. What, in fact, can
a Government like ours have to fear? Besides, to dis-
pel even the shadow of suspicion, they have for their
place of meeting the Socicti do Commerce.
" General SAN MARTIN is still at Brussels; he lives
very retired, and as soon as he is recognised in any
public place he ceases to frequent it ; he seems much to
fear indiscreet questions ; but, notwithstanding the mys-
tery in which he envelopes himself, 1 hive learned to
day, for certain, that h-2 has just offered his services to
the provinces of La Plata."

This forenoon we received Lisbon Gazettes to the
lltli instant. .The Gazette of The sth contains an Al-
van by which his MAJESTY provides for the subsist-
ence, economy, and management, of the Royal Aca-
demy of Alitine and Commerce at Oporto. In this
Gazette is Also the official account of the execution of
Brsst rites.

A Royal Decree has been issue', appointing a Junta
to examine into the claims of the owners of vessels
which cgriveyed the troops from some ports of Braz:l.
The KINO has been pleased to resolve, that his decree
of th- 26th February last, exempting from the payment
of duties the brandy nece:,-ary for the preparation of
the wines exported from the Custom-house of sete-
Casas, shall be extended to the whole kingdom for
wines exported, a certain quantity of brandy being a:.
lowed f( r each pipe. The.Gareit: niche 4th states, th.t
bus MaJgsTv,*con:idering that nctwithstanding all the
vigorous measures taken to discover the authors rif the
horrible and sacrilegious crimes committed in some
Churches, that they may be punished with all the,
,eve•ity of the laws, some wicked persons have
dared to renew such enormous and scandalous crime:,

The Court-Martial atWashingtou have found Commodore Porter
guilty of both the charges preferred against him and adjudged that
be be suspended for six months. The sentence has been approved
by, the President of the United States.
The let charge made against the Commodore was disobedience of
orders and conduct uubecoming an Aker, in having, while in com-
mand of the United States naval force in the West Indies, on the
14th November, 1824, with a part of said forces, landed on the
Island of Por to Rico, in the dominion of the King of Spain, in con-
travention of the law of nations, and a violation of the instructions
from the United States.

In decading tbis charge, the Court feels itself called on to ascribe
the conduct of the accused, which it deems censurable, to an over-
anxious disposition on his part to maintain the honour and advance
the interests of the nation and of the service.

By the French Papers of Friday, we learn that Spain
is every day sinking more deeply iato the horrors of confusion and
misrule. The ramifications of the Apostolic plot extend through
every province of the Peninsula. The execution of Busmen has
only aroused the revengeful fury oftbe conapirators, without inti-
midating them. An open revolt has been excited at Tortoni by
the seditious harangues of some Priests of that city in the public
square. FFILDINAND was held up to execration as a Freemaso:,,
and coupled in the mouths of the populace with the Negros ! At
Segovia, six Canons of the Chapter of the Metropolitan Church
have been arrected as accomplices in the conspiracy of Busman.
The NANG has given orders that all the plotters against his autho-
rity shall he condignly punished, without any regard to their rank
or condition in life.

The Muniteur contains intelligence from Constantinople to 26th
of August, which admits that the Captain Pacha's fleet had been
driven away by the Greeks from of Miss°longhl and roughly
handled. It also confirms the fresh rising of the Greeks in the Isle
of Crete, which is highly important, as it will deprive the Turks
and Egyptians of the advantages which they derived from the
temporary submission of that Island.
Forty Greek vessels were cruising to intercept the Egyptian fleet
on its return with a new supply of troops from Alexandria. The
capture of Napoli di Malvoisia by Taunus PACKA IS contradicted,
and it is frankly owned that nothing certain was known respecting
the operations of that Commander. Ni

This morning, Patrick !Vetch paid the forfeit of his life for the
atrocious murder of his wife, of which he was convicted on Fridee.
The Old Bailey wad thronged by an immense assemblage. pm,
cipally the lower order of the Irish, among whom.a very getter.,
feeling of pity for the wretched man was manifest, and the•gener4
opinion repressed loudly and boisterously by them was, that he
should not have been hanged for killing his wife!
Since his condemnation on Friday evening, his manner and de.
meanour bad not at all changed ; neither did he by any means
appear subdued by the approach of the awful moment of eapiaticti ;
on the contrary, he talked indifferently about his execution, asked
some questions concerning the ceremony, and on being told that
body would be given up for dissection,he seemed to shudder,bot soon

Rev. Mr. Devereux, who, by the exercise of cominued remo::-

to.enter penitently into prayer, and an admission that his sentema
was a jest one. He fully admitted his guilt, saying, he had struck
his wife on the head several times with the back of a brush, her

passed yesterday in taking leave of some friends, 3nl slept 'nand ly
several hours during the night. This morning he was again a:
tended by the Rev. Mr. Devereux, and received the Sacrament
called the a Eucharist." At half-past seven o'clock, Mr. Alderman
Brown and Mr. Alderman Key, the Sheriffs, were at the privet,
and met their officers in a small roods in the inner lobby (it bein.;
the custom in eases of murder to confine the criminal in a cell in a

air of indifference. The turnkeys immediately pinioned his aunts;
during this operation he turned round and said sharply, o Mrs.
Corkerey will call for my clothes. I told her to come. and order
them to be given her, because bad as they are, they will do for
some poor man." Mr. Sheriff' Brown exhorted him to turn his
attention from earthly subjects, but the wretched man appeared
not to listen to or hear what was said ; he sighed, and looked through
the grated window, as if to ascertain the state of the weather.

Honour allow me to say one prayer. if you please?" Sheik, Brown
assented, and the group of persons assenibled retired a few paces,
and he knelt down with his face towards the wall, and seemed to
pray with much mental fervour. During this interval, Mr. Dews-
reux said, the man was very ignorant, and the few prayers be dial
say were uttered in Irish. The prisoner having concluded .now

YORK, SATURDAY NIGHT.

The Conceit on Thursday night was numerously at-
tended, 1.170 were present. The performance; com-
menced with a Grand Symphony of Beethoven's (C),
w!iich has btcn so r•ften the subject of praise as to ren-
der all comme:.t .:upe:fluous. The Tempest, by Bellamy,
„a, finely given, and beautilully accompanied. A
C.!ncerto on the vio:in, by KieseAetter, was one of the
Tnnst b:illiant performance; we ever heard, and it drew
tath the most rapturous plaudits. The splendid
duetto of Rossini, Awor possente name, by Braham and
Miss Stephens, was sung with astonishing effect. In the
ji part, Braham's masterly song of Beverage was re•
ceived with rapturous applause. Auld Robin Gray was
wielodioudy sung by Miss Stephens. A Duetto on the
Harp and Horn..by Bochsa and Platt, was verreffec-
!ively played. Signor de Begnis excited the laughter
and applause of the audience by the exquisite humour
with which he sung and acted his farstuite Buffa Area,
I violitri Patti. The Concert, which was the best of the
trminsted with Gr,d save the King.
The Minster yesterday morning was crowded at an
emly hOO7. The Selection opened with two move-
ments of ;he Dettingen Te.Deunt, which was performed
very impressively. The charming air, What though
lace, trlllowed it, and was sung by Miss Travis de-
lightfaliy.—Tbe Chorus, let none despair, was a very
b, id fugue, and Phalli s particularly distinguished him-
sdf in it.--41e Dead March in Saul, and other Selec-
titms from the Funeral Anthem, were given with that
impressive effect which the solemnity of the subject de-
m cided.— Vellite Exattenas, Jubilate Deo, and Gloria
pooh, were very effective.
In the Second Part, Luthea's Hymn, by Braham, and
i!,e trumpet accompaniment by Hai per, which seemed
descend born the high-embowered toot upon the awe-
•t: tick ear, and then to dissolve into the faintest echoes,
L.tve it an indescribable grandeur.
In the chorus, He reburied the lied Sea, the rolling
d:ums and murmuring bass seemed like the foaming of
Cie angry billows, whilst the voices, in their close enun-
clan- n, not unaptly expressed the steady march of the
Isratlises between the walls of water.
In the Third Par t, Deeper and deeper still, was given
by Brabant w ith that pathos and peculiar intonation
which it is impossible to describe. Tne remainder of
this part Was equally successful.
The perfornuncr did not terminate till nearly six.
Tiv tancy ball was splendidly attended.
From the calculations already made, the amount re-
vived is about E 20,000, and expended £lB,OOO, from
which, deducting the £6,000 for the erection of the
Music Hall, there is an actual profit of abaut £B,OOO.
