that nothing material will be done until
his return, unless he should get over his
objections to allowing any person of note
to conduct the negotiations in his name.
M. de FLAHAUT is again spoken of in diplo-
matic circles as likely to act for M. de TALLEY-
RAND during his absence, but we have reason
to believe, that if M. de FLAHAUT were to be
proposed by the French Government, M. de
TALLEYRAND would not consent to the ap-
pointment. What the motives of M. de TAD-
LEYRAND'S objections to so able and respectable
a diplomatist as M. de FLAHAUT can be, we
know not. They are known only to himself.

VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

HARMER V. WESTMACOTT.

His Honour the Vice-Chancellor was occupied the whole
morning with the arguments in this part heard cause, the facts
of which have already been before the public upon several in-
terlocutory applications. The bill was filed by the assignees
of a gentleman named Richards, who, up to 1927, was the sole
proprietor of the Age newspaper, for the purpose of setting
aside the sale of one moiety of that paper, on the ground of in-
adequacy of consideration, and the other as being a fictitious
sale. We refrain from entering more fully into the case, till
the arguments are concluded, and his Honour gives judgment.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

- - - - -
The non-arrival as yet of n:ws from Portugal has greatly
disappointed the merchants and public ; therefore, we may
conclude that Don Pedro's forces were not in possession of
Lisbon on the 20th inst., and all the stock•jobbing reports,
which were in circulation on Saturday last, have fallen to
the ground. It is very extraordinary we have no arrivals
from that quarter as yet.
Letters received from Seville at Bourdeaux, state that
Donna Maria was proclaimed on the shores of the Tagus
as far as Yelves, and her troops made their appearance a
league from the above place. Villa Flor's forces are stated
to be about 10,000 men. General Molelloa tried to save
the 1,500 men, and conducted them towards Lisbon by
the mountains, but was attacked by General Colemn of
the Constitutionalists, and was obliged to abandon his
artillery, and part of his troops.
We have but one arrival of ship letters, this morning,
from Sierra Leone.

THE FUNDS.
Consols opened at the same price they left off on
Saturday, 8918 for the Account, and at present they re-
main stationary at the above price.
We Lear that the French rentes come '77f. 60c. ; Bel-
gian comes 1 per cent. higher. Dutch also comes rather
higher.
In the Foreign market Portuguese scrip 10:i.
Great anxiety is expressed for news from Portugal.
We have this moment read the following letter :.
" STONEHOUSE, PLYMOUTH, JULY .28.-1 hasten to
give you the news just arrived here, whether correct or
not I cannot say—that the Stag has just passed, and
had a signal flying, imputing that Lisbon had fallen.
HALF-PAST ONE.

The extract of the letter from Plymouth certainly
comes from a respectable quarter, but up to the present
hour, we hive nothing to confirm it. We are of an opi-
nion that a steamer would have come with the important
event before the Stag frigate. It cannot be many hours
before the arrival of some official accounts.
Consols have been during the morning at 8911 for the
Account. At present they are 89i to with little doing.
In the Foreign market Portuguese Scrip. had reached
124 premium. It is at present 11 12 prem.
Greek Scrip maintains its price.
The Hamburg Reporter, of the 26th inst., is arrived,
but brings no news.

The Ex-Secretary to the Admiralty is gone
to the South of France in despair, to meet his friend Lord
HERTFORD, now on his way to London. The Ex-Secre-
tary's chum, the renowned Whipper in, would have been
his compagnen de voyage on this occasion, had not his
services, and thick and thin activity, been essential in
another quarter.--Morning Herald.

HEREFORDSHIRE.—The hops are looking
remarkably well. The bine is very strong, and the bur
healthy ; at present there is every appearance of an abun-
dant crop. In many places the wheat promises favour-
ably ; hut generally it is light, both in the straw and the
ear ; the crops of barley will be abundant ; everywhere
they look fine. The late peas, upon good ground, thrive
en fast, that it is feared there will be too much holm to
be fruitful. The fruit grows fast ; but unless we have
dry warm weather, the cider will not be of superior qua-
lity. The crop of walnuts is immense, far beyond the
produce of any season for many years. —Herefor d Times.
On Friday a Deputation of Scotch Distillers
had an interview at the Treasury with Mr. S. RICE, who
had with him one of the Commissioners, and the Solicitor
of Excise. We understand that the subject related to the
circumstance of spirits being sent out by distillers in ea.ks,
containing a larger quantity than marked on them as
required by law, and which was brought by a late Exche-
quer trial, in which English distillers' casks were found
to contain morethan the permit.

It is with regret we state that on the drawing
up of the curtain at the Worthing Theatre on Saturday
evening there were only five persons in the house—one in
the boxes, one in the pit, and the remaining three in the
gallery. To proceed with the performance was out of the
question, and the money was returned. The manager has
since made a public appeal, stating that, unless he is better
supported, he must close the house.—Brighton Herald.
STATE OF TRADE.—The excitement in the
cotton market continues to increase, and prices appear to
advance more rapidly, the higher they become. Two or
three parcels of Boweds have, this week, for the first
time since 1825, been sold for % shilling a pound, by which
we believe some considerable wagers have been decided,
and bets are freely offered at Liverpool that they will be
sold at 15d. before the Ist of January. In short, the
market has become what it was in 1825, a scene of spe-
culation and gambling. In this town, the prices of
reeled yarn, which is very scarce in the market, keep
closely behind the prices of cotton, though the buyers
have been rather shy of making purchases at extreme
prices within the last few days. The advance in most
descriptions of goods is still considerably below that in
cotton; and, in some descriptions not much in demand at
this season of the year, it is difficult to obtain even the
smallest increase of price.—Manchester Guardian.

At the Metropolitan Police-office, Scotland-yard,
on Saturday, the superintendent of the B division of police
brought the conduct of Richard Warman, B 78, before
the notice of the Commissioners. The policeman was
charged with deserting his wife and family, and seducing
a young woman in the service of a gentleman residing
in Wilton-street, Belgrave-square, Pimlico. It was stated
that another policeman had paid honourable attentions to
the female in question, and was on the point of marrying
her; but in an evil hour he intrusted his brother con.
stable with the delivery of a letter to her. Warman was
smitten with the girl, and, notwithstanding he had a wife
and family, he eventually succeeded in seducing the young
woman from her situation, with whom he had since en- '
habited, leaving his family destitute. The investigation
lasted some time, and the Commissioners ultimately dis-
missed Warman from the force. Another investigation
took place into the conduct of John Backwell and John
Birchell, two policemen of the M division, who bad been
suspended from duty for disorderly conduct in the public
streets. It appeared that the men were on duty in
street, Southwark, about two o'clock in the morning,
when they were detected by one of their officers dancing
in the street, instead of protecting the property of the
public. One of them had proctired a fiddle, and the
other a tambourine, on which they were playing amidst
a number of the lowest class of per-ons, male and female,
who were dancing round them, and in which dance the
constables also joined. The charge was fully proved, and
the Commissioners discharged the men from the force.
