as dear as on Monday, but other descriptions meet little demand.
Barley dull and unvaried. Beans and Pease no alteration. Oats
are plentiful to-day, and the factors weredisposed to take less money
for this article, as a large supply is expected. Flour dull and no
change in value

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE OCLOCK„

At present there appears to be a dead calm in the speculation
in Spanish and Portuguese Stocks, causal by the want of fur-
ther information from Madrid, which has been expected hourly,
either by pigeons or express, just to suit the gambling system.
This being the settling-day for Consols, which no doubt will
0-o off well, owing to the trifling fluctuations during the Ac-
count in the above Stocks, the jobbers and brokers are busy
making up their accounts.
Consols may be quoted for Money, 907.-, to 91 ; and for the
November Account, 91k to 1.
Spanish Stock, which left off yesterday at 51i opened at
521 ; and are at present 52,1 with little doing.
Portuguese 82k to -1.
We have a report of a commercial failure of some note.
HALF-PAST-ONE.

The settling of the Consols Account is going off very easy,
as the extreme fluctuation during the account has not been
more than 1 per cent. . . .

----In the Foreign Market little is doing either in Spanish
or Portuguese Stocks, as the speculators are at a loss how to
act until they receive further information from Madrid.

Spanish, which was in the early part of the morning at 52k,
has become heavy, and receded to 51i a ; Portuguese, which
was 82+, is at present 811 82.
Consols are 91i to + for the November Account, and 90i for
money.

EAST INDIA DOCKS.-Yesterday notice was af-
fixed on the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell, of the intention of
the proprietors of these docks to apply for a new Act, giving
them extended powers as to the forming of docks and erecting
warehouses at Blackwell, for the use of shipping employed in
the East India and China trades.

MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY.—On Monday a
great number of persons assembled at Hornsey Church, to wit-
ness the marriage of Samuel Cobbin, a love-sick swain, aged
82., who led to the Hymeneal altar a young lady in whom his
affections had been centered for 50 years, and who had, during
the whole of that time, adopted his name, although they had
not the courage to enter the holy state of matrimony. The
blooming bride, who is 80 years of age, was handed into the
carriage of the Rev. Dr. Harvey, who honoured them by fur-
thering their views, and afterwards performed the solemn cere-
mony.
A FINE CONGREGATIQN ! I—At Annadown, in
this county, our readers might last Sunday have beheld a beau-
tiful specimen of that useful law church, which " does nothing
for nothing for nobody." The reverend incumbent is staving
at Salt-hill, and on Sunday last he went home to his flock. Of
whom, gentle reader, do you think that the flock consisted ?
Of his clerk, his lady, and two pious policemen !1 ! Such is
the church of Ireland.—Connaught Journal.
AFFAIR AT LUTON.--During the week there has
been much excitement in this town, in consequence of a se-
rious imputation on the honour of the inhabitant occupying
one of the best houses in the town. The husband, acting under
high authority at Doctors' Commons, assisted by his brother,
effected the expulsion of his wife from his residence. The
affair having attracted a considerable crowd, the populace
sided with the lady, and assumed such a formidable aspect that
it was deemed advisable to send for two Bow-street officers
(Goddard and Fletcher.) Such was the violence of the popu-
lace, that it is said the police-officers were obliged to mount
the chaise, with their staves and loaded pistols, and in this
manner to escort the husband and the brother out of the town.
In the meantime the friends of the lady espoused her quarrel,
and adopted measures towards the husband. Assault warrants
were procured against the husband and his brother by the lady,
and after the case was heard by the sitting magistrates at
Luton, the defendants were held to bail.
