may be quoted at present at 86i a--same for Money ; very
little doing.
The Market is still depressed by the increase of the in-
terest on Exchequer Bills. Besides the notice sent yester-
day from the Treasury Chambers, another was received
from the Directors of the East India Company, stating,
that owing to the increased rate of interest on Exchequer
Bills, the interest upon the East India Company's Bond
Debt is raised from 31. 10g. to 41. per cent., commencing
from yesterday.

It is currently reported that the expected naval pro-
motion next year will include the whole of the first hundred
Captains on the list, ending with the Hon. George Paulet
(1836), and that of these 30 will be placed on the retired
list of Rear-Admirals, leaving 70 on the effective list. This
promotion would embrace Captain Ross, Sir James Hillyar,
pym, Wise, Bury, Boger, &c.—Devonport Telegraph.
We understand that owing to the great advance in
the prica of malt, the brewers at Northampton have been
under the necessity of raising the price of ale.—North-
ampton Mercury.
A man named Edelmann died lately in Bohemia at
the age of 115 years. His father was a mason, and he fol-
lowed the same trade. He did not marry until he was 50,
and then had seven children, of whom three survive him.
He was passionately fond of music till he lost his hearing,
about two years ago. His memory was excellent, and he
frequently related facts which had taken place a century
back. His last illness was of a month's duration.
DOMESTIC HABITS OF MILTON.—" Milton rose
t four in the morning during summer, and at five in the
wintnr. He wore almost invariably a dress of coarse grey
cloth, studied till noon, dined frugally, walked with a guide,
and in the evening, sung, accompanying himself on some
instrument. He understood harmony, and had a fine voice.
He for a long time addicted himself to the practice of fenc-
ing. To judge by Paradise Lost, he must have been pas-
sionately fond of music and the perfume of flowers. He
supped off five or six olives and a little water, retired to
rest at nine, and composed at night, in bed. When he had
made some verses, he sung, and dictated to his wife or
daughters. On sunny days he sat on a bench at his door ;
he lived in Artillery Walk, leading to Bunhill Fields,"--
