floating cargoes on the coast are nearly cleared. Barley in
good demand at the extreme prices of Monday last. Beans
and Peas dull. Oats dull and rather cheaper. In Flour little
doing, and the value unaltered.

ROMANCE OP TUE PEERAGE.—By the death of the Duke
of Norfolk, Sir Edmund Lyons becomes father of the present
premier duchess of England. The " romance of the peerage "
has fewer prettier chapters than this. The young Earl of
Arundel and Surrey was travelling in Greece, when he was
attacked with fever, and his life was despaired of. He was
removed to the house of the British minister, Sir Edmund
Lyons, at Athens, when a " ministering angel," in the person
of Sir Edmund's fair daughter, became his nurse, and, by hez
devoted attentions, was believed to have saved the life of the
young heir of the oldest ducal house in England, at the hazard
of her own. The gratitude of the young earl to his fair pre-
server took the usual shape ; but, as soon as Sir Edmund
Lyons found reason to suspect what was going on, he wrote
to the earl's father, informing him of his son's convalescence,
and begging that he might be removed, since he knew that
his daughter had no pretensions to mate with such illustrious
lineage. Sir Edmund's letter displayed so much honourable
feeling, and the young man's attachment seemed so insur-
mountable, that the consent of the parents was obtained.
They were married, and "They lived happily ever after," as
the story-hooks say.—Manchester Guardian.
