FOREIGN AIARKET.—LittIe business doing

the above Market this morning.

One o'Clock.----Yesterday being Settling Day
in all Foreign Securities, some failures, as was
expected, have taken place, particularly in Co-
lombian Bonds, owing to the great fluctuation
since last Settling Day ; we also understand that
an attachment has been laid on the Poyais divi-
dend by MACGREGOR'S creditors, which has
caused no small confusion among the holders of
that stock.

DEATII OF CMARLES GRANT, ESQ.—We have
received the melancholy tidings of the death of
that highly esteemed East India Director,Cli:luLEs
GRANT, Esq. Ile did not retire to rest till about
four yesterday morning, and at six he was a
corpse. The disorder was spasms in the sto-
mach. Not one of his family was present to
witness the distressing scene, only his medical
attendant and butler were in the house, Mrs.
Grant and family having for some time resided
at Dartford, in kent.—After filling some of the
most responsible civil offices ha Bengal at an
early part of his life, with great credit to
himself and advantage to the East India
Company, Mr. Grant was, in 1794, elected
a Director of that honourable body, and
frequently sustained the weighty and respon-
sible situation of Deputy Chairman and Chair-
man of the Court of Directors. His astonishing
and persevering industry, aided by a most vigor-
ous understanding, and an inflexible integrity, ren-
dered him an invaluable member of the Court of
Directors, rho will deplore his loss. Mr. Grant
was more than 80 years of age, and so recently
as six o'clock on Thursday evening was of-
ficially engaged at the East India-House. Mr.
Grant was a native of the North of Scotland,
and possessed considerable estates in the county
of Inverness, which he represented for a consi-
derable period in Parliament.

We are desired to contradict, in the most po-
sitive terms, the paragraph which appeared in
the several Morning Papers, and was copied into
THE SUN Of Thursday, respecting the Lady 'to
whom Captain PARRY is said to be so deeply
attached ; whose name has been so improperly
brought before the public, and whose conduct,
we are assured, ought to have exempted her
from such improper intrusions upon domestic

tranquillity.
There is no foundation for a paragraph which
appeared in this and other Papers, a few days
ago, stating, that the late Earl of BRIDGEWATER
had left Sir CHARLES Lone 24,000/. a year.--
The fact, we understand to be, that he has left
to his brother, the present Earl, who has long
been resident in France, an annuity of 18,0001. a
year, and to his niece, Lady Lorin, 4,0001. a
year.
On Tuesday Mr. Wynn, the President of the
Board of Controul, had the honour of introducing Cunts-
TOPMER MILLEK, Esq., to an audience of his MAJESTY,
at Windsor Castle, previous to his leaving England, to
assume the duties of the Lord Chief Jusuceship at Cal.
cutta, in the place of Sir HENRY BLOSSET, deceased. His
MAJESTY was graciously pleased to confer the honour of
Knighthood upon the Learned Chief Justice. Sir CHRIS-
TOPUER and Lady PULLER, with their family, will sail from
England in one of the Company's ships, in the course of next
week.
Admiral Sir A. COCHRANE arrived at Liver-
pool on Wednesday morning, in his Majesty's
brig Partridge, and landed under a salute.
The Spanish Deputy,ZuLurrA, has arrived hi
London.
The new POPE, it is said, intends to proceed
on a tear through England and Ireland !! !
(Dublin Freeman's Journal.)
A Letter, dated St. Petersburg'', 3d October,
says, on Tuesday last (30th Sept.) the funeral
rites of the late Imperial Comptroller, Baron von
KAmeeN-HAustm, were performed with great
pomp and cermony in this capital. The Baron's
death, which took place on the 22d, was occa-
sioned by the injuries he received on being over-
turned in his carriage a few days previously. The
body having been embalmed, will ultimately be
conveyed to the mausoleum in the family do-
mains in Livonia. The Baron leaves one of the
largest private libraries in Europe, which, it is
presumed, will become the property of a younger
brother in Livonia.
The ci-devant Queen FREDEIIIKA, of Sweden,
