lids is settling day in the Consol market, consequently the chief
ihnsksesa doing is in making up Accounts. Several third tate de-
faulters have been announced, but they are of little consequence.
The Account atspears going off well, up to the present time, con-
sidering it is proved a very heavy fluctuation of seven and a half
per Cent. It appears, this morning, that it is net so great a Bear
Account, as was at first imagined, as a good deal of stuck has been
delivered, and they have beets lenders of stock.
Consols, which left off yesterday at SO opened this morning
et the same .price; but teen after they receded to 806 for the Ac-
count, and at •ptereint may be quoted at SOi j, Reduced are T9i j.

The Consul Aecoent is now over, and up to the present time
we have not heard of any defaulter of consequence; one has
been declared, but of no note, The great City Capitalist has
taken Stock t• upwards of One Million Sterling; and a certain
Manket has delivered to • large amount. It Is now evident that
'lt has turned out a Dear Account, in consequence of the scarcity
of Money Stock ; there is a backadation of j per Cent.

This morning, soon afar ten o'clock, the KING left
the Royal Lo !ge, at Wind►or, on his way to the Royal
Pavilion, Brighton, to which place his AIAJESITY.S
Household had removed yesterday.

We have teceived this morning Dutch Papers to the
20th, but they contain no other intelligence beyond a
colifir motion of the loss of the Wasselaer, Dutch 74,
which pet ished in tie late storm. We are happy, how-
eser, to learn, that the loss r f lives was by no
tr.eans so considerable as had been at first tepresented,
not above a tenth of the whole having found a
watery grave. Most of the ttoops, and all the Officers,
as well Naval as Militaty, with the exception of one,
base, it is said, been saved ; and the Waterlo,, which
sailed in company, and for whose SAfety the most serious
apprehensions were at first entertained, aprears no";
to have rode out the storm in perfect safety, having been
subsequently seen off Holland's End in good condition.
AMSTERDAM, JAS. On LARIdOII, 121.-2 M. II 9S.

We have as little faith in the professions of the
Spanish Monarch, when they are at variance with his
inclinations, as the most sceptical of our contempo
raties ; but we frays unlimited faith in the means
which Great Britain possesses of compelling him to
keep faithfully any promises he may make at this event-
ful juncture. Whatever repugnance he may have to
disavow in the face of the world, and particularly of
iris own subjects, the hostile acts, committed in his
name, and probably with his knowledge, upon the
Portuguese nation, we do not beleve for an instant
that it is so ►ooted, as to make all considerations for his
personal safety give way to it. To a recantation so
humiliating Ire has no doubt strong objections, and his
scruples to acknowledge the Portuguese Constitution
are still stronger; yet, as he has only this alternative,
or the certain prospect of British hostility before him,
we have little doubt ourselves as to his final decisi:in.
Besides, he is not the very untraceable personage
that be is occasionally represented ; for he has been
known to concede, and with no bad grace too,
points far more valuable in his estimation, than
those Ire is required to give op at this time, lie
took, wi:h an affectation likewise of much cordiality, the
oaths prescribed to him by the late Cortes; and we know
that he was not over-scrupulous, when roIIONAPARTO
had his sacted person in his safe keeping. Whenever
an occasion, similar to those we have just quoted, shall
present itself again, it will be found that fear is a more
powerful ingredient in his character than obstinacy ; and
will any otre pretend to say, that Iris throne, or even his
person, would be secure, when once a British Army
appeared in Lostile array won any part of the Spanis!) 1
territory ? A single French Journal, and one or two of
our own, have endeavoured to persuade him, that such
A contingency, were it even to arrive, ought to have no
terrors for him; though it is not necessary to be a
wizard to know tke teceptinn he has given to
this most enlightened suggestion. FERDINAND knows
his own resources and those of the British Govern-
ment much bet er, than those intrusive advisers; and
he would quake less at seeing the ghost of RtEcto
stand bcfote him at the dead of night, tbsn Le

would at the intelligence of an invasion of his kiegJoni
by a British force. As soon as the nritisli wag. ffmted
over %Uwee village in Spain, it would be the immedia.e
signal for the erection of the Constitutional standard in
ell the surtbunding country ; and eve, y steeple for fi ty
miles round would in the course of a few days see the
' emblem of liberty proudly Waving from its summit. The
rising of one province, would be a sign to the nest to
follow its example, tilt not a vestige of the present
tyranny remained ; and yet we are gravely assured,
that FERDINAND is determined, by superciliously re
jecting the just demands of the British Government, to
draw down upon himself this lotions storm. Had we
been told that he intended to imitate the martyrdom of
S:. Lawrence, rather than make the concessions to
quire.' of him, we would as so in believe it, as that he
was resolved to brave the hustilil of this country. No•
believing that he has any voca ion in that way, it is
our firm conviction, that, if he had no other alternative,
he would not only recognise the Portuguese Constitu-
tion, but proclaim himself a Constitutional King, sxmer
than expose himself to the consequences of a war a ith
Great Britain and Portugal.
In the meantime, several circumstances indicate that
the King of SPAIN has promised reparation, if he has
not actually made it. The continued stay of our Am
bassador at Madrid is, we think, conclusive up.m this
point; and the very lenient manlier in which the con
duct el that Power is alluded to in the Speech at the
opening cf the Portuguese Cortes, is another very strong
fact in support of our opinion. Besides, it is announced
that Count IYOrAz.IA, who, at the commencement of
the misunderstanding between the two countries, hid,
as was confidenly reported, !ejected the post, has
now acceeted the mission to England. As lie ha.
the reputation of joining to dielomatic talents, poli
tical tact and county art,, his acceptance of the
Embassy, should it be confirmeJ, would prove that lie
considered it as a service in which honour was to be ac-
quired, and not as a painful, liazirslims, and ungrateful
office. In addition to these pacific indication-, is it not
true that the Puttiguese Charge d'Affaires Nes been
openly seceiveJ by the Spariisli Monarch ? whilst, to
sum up all, does not the conduct of cur own Govern-
ment seem to bespeak the utmost confidence at this mo-
Ilierot ? We do not hear r.f the slightest bustle in any
of our dock y ards, and a Cabinet meeting has not been
held for several wceks !

ANtwEnr, JAN. 17.—E cry demonstration of respect
is paying here to the memory of his late lioyal Ilightie-s the Duke of
YORK. On Sunday lao, an eloquent and impressive sermon was
preached by the Rev. Saasret. Loots, I) D. in the English Cuurch.
As this solemn occasion, the pulpit and readin/ desk, &c. were
hung with black. 'Die congregation consisted of all the tespect
able English families residing here.
The Ito) al carriages %Licit attended tile Funetal at

played most .A the carriages which had been employed on the late
mournful occasion. The Life Guards reached town about one
o'clock. The cold was so intense, that the men were ordered to
dismount and lead their horses. The Font Guards marched into
Knightsbridge about the same time.
The settnig in of Wittier with so much severity has

COVENT•G A IttiEN —Miss HA BORA Vit repeated Lady
Constance last night. her self•possession was greater, and she
was very effective; and in two passages in particular, that in which
noutdoce rises from the ground and exclaims, st War ! war !" and
in the lament over her pretty Author, the audience saluted her, and
most deservedly. w ith a round of applause. 'Mr. YOChG'S perform-
ance was, if possible, superior even to his last. It is, indeed, diffi-
cult to imagine a finer piece of acting. Kestaxt's laulconbrieliK
was, as usual, excellent.

The recent storm has occasioned immense dama2e in
different parts of this country, as well as in Ireland. At Bolton,
part of a factory has been blown ; at Liverpool, the river
was like the sea, and many vessels lave been injured ; and at Leeds
a number of buildings have been damaged. At %Veaford and Kil
kenny the mischief has been great ; Kyle, the seat of Mr. I I v,
of the former place, is partly destroyed. and tress of a century stand-
ing have been torn up. and many buildings unroofed at other places.
'the disturba:ice% in Wales have been t ccasioned by
a dispute between the Landowners and Cottagers, on the subject of
inclosures. The Landowners are about to petidua Parliament on
the subject. The great question to be decided by the Legislature
will be, whether such recognition of the labour bestowed upon land
will entitle the cc:Kiwis to compels-anon for it. There is also the
general principle of Cottage Settlement, as a relief from Poor rates,
involved in the discussion of the case.
