HALT-?AST ONE.
There has not been the least spirit for speculating during the
whole course of the morning, either in the British or Foreign
Funds, consequently we have not a feature worth noticing to
the present hour—in general Saturday is the dullest day i.i the
week for operating in the Funds, and most of the leading
brokers take their departure at an early hour.
Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at 88k
sellers, may be quoted the same at present ; for Money not so
good, 88k, have been 88i ; Exchequer Bills, 6 8 prem ; India
Bonds, 20 dis. •

SI R WI LLOUGHBY COTTON.—The Delhi
Gazette of the 6th of January, gives an account of the inves-
titure of Sir Wiloughby Cotton with the Grand Cross of the
Order of the Bath, which took glace at Jellalabad. He wa,
invested by the Envoy and Minister in the presence of Shah
Shoojah and all his Court. Sir Willoughby Cotton's services
have been great during the whole time he has been attached
to the army in Affghanistan, and even for that only he de-
served such a mark of the approbation of his own Sovereign ;
but his actions in the Peninsu'a, and all parts of the world,
have richly merited all that fame and fortune can bestow,
and we wish him health and many years to enjoy his hardly
won and deserved honours.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Her Majesty and
Prince Albert attended the first production this season of
Fidelio, which took place last night, and was a new
triumpk for Madame Steckel Heinefetter, who was per-
haps fully equal to Schroeder in her best days. The con-
stant power of her voice, the vigour of her acting, the
genius (Aber conceptions, the unvarying excellence of her
intonation under every circumstance, were never displayed
to greater advantAge. The band and choruses performed
with their accustomed effect and precision. At the fall
of the curtain the audience expressed such delight at the
finale that it was raised again, and the finale encored. The
house Was full, and most fashionably attended,
