The British Market has improved since the early part of the
morning, owing to purchases being made by the Bears of Con-
sols, fearing that they will be short of Stock on the account-
day. Consols have reached 90% 91 for the Account ; at pre-
sent may be quotes 903/i ; Money the same.
The monied interest finding that the Exchanges begin to
improve,: there is not that fear in the Money Market as there
has been for some days past, and if nothing of a political nature
occurs to depress the market, it is expected that it will con-
tinue firm. Exchequer Bills, 9 11:prem. ; India Bonds, I dis-
count; Bask Stock, 178 ; India Stock, 2-181.

INDISPOSITION OF THE DUKE or WELLING-
TON.---The metropolis was on Friday morning thmwn into a
state of the greatest anxiety and alarm by the prevalent rumour
that his Grace the Duke of Wellingte,n had experienced on the
preceding day an attack of violent and dangerous illness. In this
report, as is usual in such instances, there was some truth with
much exaggeration; and we are happy to be enabled to give
such a statement of the facts as will not fail to allay, if it
does not wholly remove, the apprehensions of the public
upon a subject in which tiey naturally take the deepest interest.
After taking a hearty meal at two o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon, the Duke rode in Hyde Park on horseback.
During this exercise his Grace was seized with sudden de-
bility, to an extent which at first excited considerable appre-
hension. The cause of the attack is supposed to have been that
the exercise of riding so soon after dinner had interfered with
the process of digestion. We have the highest gratification in
stating not only that his Grace was much better, but that during
yesterday the improvement was progressive, and that towards
evening his early and complete restoration to health was confi-
dently anticipated.—anzserrative Journal of this day.
THE FATAL STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT OFF
G&IvEsEND.—The following are the names of the unfortu-
nate persons drowned in the Tyrian :—Mr. Sheer, a young
gentleman passenger ; Robert Mason, of Blackheath, appren-
tice ; James Smith, apprentice, a native of Scalloway, Shet-
land; and George Walker, also an apprentice, a native of
Aberdeen ; the mate's llama unknown. Preparations are being
made to recover their bodies, as also to raise the vessel.
BOROUGH OF KIDDERMINSTER.—We are
authorised to state that there is no truth in the report published
in the Worcestershire Chronicle, that Sir John Rennie is to
become a candidate for Kidderminster. Mr. George Rennie,
of Chesham Place, I3elgrave-square, will be the Liberal Can-
didate, and we doubt not the successful one. The House of
Commons can well spare the present Member, who has shown
himself the greatest babbler in the debates on the Privilege
Question.

THE SHERIFF.--A deputation, consisting of
Mr John Gibbons and other Magistrates, freeholders and
electors of the county, yesterday waited on the Sheriff with a
requisition signed by several hundreds of :the freeholders and
electors, calling upon him to convene a county meeting for the
purpose of taking into consideration the situation in which
Sheriff Evans is placed by the resolutions of the House of
Commons, and to adopt such proceedings by an address to the
Crown, or otherwise, as may be deemed expedient. The depu-
tation was received by Mr. Sheriff Evans, who fixed Friday
next fir holding the meeting at the Fr,emasons' Tavern.
It was remarked that the Countess of Jersey
was not in the chapel at the marriage of the Queen, which was
considered extraordinary, as one of her Ladyship's daughters
was bridemaid on the occasion. Lady Jersey went to the
chapel on Saturday, thinking there must have been a place as.
signed for her there, but found that this was not the case.
ROBBERY.—On Thursday night, or early the
following morning, the house of Mr. Tanner, jeweller, in
Wells-street, Oxford-street, was entered, and a quantity of
silver plate, principally spoons, linen, wearing apparel, and
a tin cash-box, containing about twenty sovereignswere
,
carried off.
