HALF. PAST ONE.
A notice has been posted up at the North and South
American Coffee-house to the following effect :
" That Messrs. Waghorn and Co. will establish their
own Express ' Courier' every month, from Marseilles to
London, in 96 hours, until the ISt of November next;
and from the 2d ,of November to the 80th of April, the
time occupied will be 116 hours.
" For a .packet. not exceeding two ounces, lb guineas,
and no him can receive more than this weight ; and in case
Waghorn and Co. fail to receive the Express in Cornhill
wC,thin the hours mentioned, they will only take the half of
the above sum."

Consols continue buoyant, and have improved since the
early part of the morning to 91ii for the account, and 9l
for money. It is now reported that the Chancellor of the
Exchequer is going to extend the time of the Terminable
Annuities, by which means he will be able to raise the
amount he will require in his Budget, without resorting
to a loan or funding. Stock is scarce in the market, and
money plentiful. Exchequer Bills, 23, 19, 21

I❑ the Foreign Market the chief business doing is in
Spanish Active, which at present is heavy, and receded to
per cent., owing to parties having given a large amount
for puts and calls in the whole of the month of June, 2 per
cent., who are now operating to get the price of the Spa-
nkh lower, than they may work their option. Sparisb, 281

STATE OF THE SEVERN.—The river is now
in a great degree commercially useless : it has not been so kw
for a dozen years, and at present not less than two hundred
vessels are detained below Upton. In the neighbourhood of
this city vessels have heron lying aground for weeks, and doubt-
less this likewise has been the case all along its course, to the
prodigious loss of individuals and complete hindrance of trade.
In these circumstances, one turns with melancholy yearning to
the baffle(' attempts of the people of Worcester to improve this
noble river.— -cester Herald.
PRICE OF BOOTS.—TRADESMEN'S CHARGES.
—ln the course of a case heard yesterday in the Sheriff's
Court respecting the value of a pair of boots, a City bootmaker
who was called for the defendant, stated that the price of boots
varied from 255. to 505., but he should say there was no essen-
' tial difference in boots made for 265. and those charged at 50s.
I should sly the most reasonable price for boots is the most a
person can get for them, if it answers his interest.—(Much
laughter.) The Under-Sheriff asked the witness if he under-
stood the question and meant to persevere in that answer? The
witness said he did.
HARD WOliK FOR CORONERS.—Mr.Baker,
the coroner, yesterday held no less than 'even inpiects in the
eastern district of the Metropolis, but not one out of that num- i
ber possessed any featurc of public interest..
