are chiefly occupied in settling their accounts, which arc not

fro off well. ,

lIALEPAST ONE.

We have a very great dearth of information in the city ;
not a single report in circulation at present ; consequently,
the Funds are in a dull state, with scarce a bargain doing.
The settling of the Account is going off well.
Letters were received from Tampico yesterday, of the 18th
of May, but they do not bring any news of consequence.

INTENDED MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—We
understand that the marriage of his Grace the Duke of So-
merset with Miss Shaw Stewart, sister of Sir Michael Shaw
Stewart, is likely to be solemnized towards the close of the
present month. Costly trozisseux of great magnificence are
in a forward state of completion by that modiste Madame
Devy, of Grosvenor-street. The Noble Duke has, we be-
lieve, completed his 60th year; the fair intended bride is un-
der 30 years of age.,
Lord and Lady Roseberry, Mr. Ellice and family,
Mr. and Mrs. Dunlop, Hon. Mrs. Maule, Mr. and Mrs.
Harrington and family, Mr. Dundas, Hon. B. Primrose,
Colonel Sumner, Mr. Hope Johnstone, Mr. M'Donald Seton,
Captain Turner, the Misses A itcheson, Mr. Stewart, &c. &c.,
and about 140 passengers, embarked at Brunswick Wharf,
Blackwall, last night, for Edinburgh, in the London and
Edinburgh and General Steam Navigation Company's much
admired splendid and powerful steam-vessel the Monarch.
IRISH CiruncH.—lt is impossible to pass over the
division on the Appropriation Clause, without noticing the
wretched impolicy of such an important decision taking place
without publication of the names by authority, merely because
it took place in Committee of the House. Even the Tory
newspapers cry out against the practice.

ncement of which has excited

considerable interest. cording to the author's account,
The book is comp of miscellanies, which have all tones,
because they relat to all things : they pass from literary
criticism, lofty or familiar, to historical observations, narra-
tions, portraits, and recollections, general or personal." Thus
no one will be taken by surprise. The reader will know from
the first what he has to expect : he will be aware that English
Literature forms but the ground of the author's medley—the
canvas for his embroidery.
Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East India
House tor the election of a Director, in the room of George
Raikes, Esq., who had disqualified. At six o'clock the glasses
were closed, and delivered to the scrutineers, who reported the
election to have fallen on Francis Warden, Esq.
Theatricals appear to be at a very low ebb in the
French capital. On the 3d instant, out of twelve theatres
open (and four closed), the highest receipts were at Le Gaite,
which amounted to 396 francs, about 161. ; and the lowest at
the Pantheon were only 83 francs, or about 31. 6s. Bd.
In consequence of the intense heat of the weather,
Lord Brougham has postponed his intended visit to the coast ;
and was still at Harrington, in Lincolnshire, on Monday last,
where his health continues to improve.
We regret to learn that letters have been received
from Frankfort, which give no hopes of the recovery of Lady
Ingilby.—Lincoln Gazette.
SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Yesterday af-
ternoon her Majesty, attended by the Countess Howe and
Lady Denbigh, Prince Ernest of Philippstbal, Earl Denbigh,
&c., visited these delightful gardens, to inspect the newly ar-
rived giraffes and other animals. Her Majesty expressed her
high gratification with the gardens and animals in general, and
in particular with the giraffes, especially the one named " La
Belle Giraffe," which was at her request measured by Mr. War-
wick. After remarking on their healthy appearance, and the
commodiousness of the place erected for their accommodation,
to which they were removed only the day previous, the Royal
party departed, expressing themselves highlcdelighted by
their visit.
The Dlike of his returilitg Paris, .has
given an ,order to M. Duban, who is a most able architect, and
at the same time master of the art of design, to make a com-
plete series of coloured drawings of all the remarkable public
buildings in Paris, to be bound in a sumptuous binding, the
style and ornaments of which are left to M. Duban, without
limit as to expense. It is intended as a present to the Prince
Royal of Prussia, who, in conversation with the Duke of Or-
leans, when at Berlin, spoke of the various monuments which
had been so long in construction at Paris, and highly praised
the enlightened care with which the King bad superintended
their being finished,

AMSTERDAM, JULY 6.—The first herrings arrived
here yesterday evening. The first boat brought 38i barrels,
which, after taking away those declared for presents, were
sold at 700 florins per barrel.
FIRE.—A fire broke out about nine o'clock on
Tuesday night, which was for some time visible from the banks
of the Thames, in the extensive range of workshops belonging
to Messrs. Cobham and Wright, Camden-place, Peckham,
which from the contents of the stock in the buildings and the
short supply of water at hand for the use required on the oc-
casion, were very soon reduced to a heap of ruins. Informa-
tion was received in town within half an hour of the com-
mencement at the various fire stations in the metropolis, and
seven engines of the London Fire Establishment, with the
West of England, and upwards of forty of the brigade men,
attended, to render the necessary assistance ; but unfortu-
nately they arrived at too late a period to carry their intentions
into effect. Not the slightest portion of the stock destroyed
is insured, and to the sad catalogue is to be added the loss of
all the workmen's tools, which to that body will be a Serious
calamity.
The number of passengers by the railroad between
Brussels and Antwerp, in June, was upwards of 98,000, and
the receipts more than 105,000 fr.
Yesterday morning a number of notices to the fol-
lowing effect, by command of the Duke of Sussex, being
ranger of Hyde-park, were affixed on the banks of the Ser-
pentine river :—" Whereas certain disorderly persons having
exposed themselves, by running naked about the park, and
bathing at improper hou►s, the police are requested to pre-
vent it, and the keepers to take them into custody._Sussex,
