THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.

Deputations from the merchants, bankers, traders,
and others, of the City of London, and from a
similar body in the City of Westminster, waited
upon the Duke at Apsley House on Friday, when
addresses were presented to Grace by Jeremiah
Harman, Esq., from Landon, and by Sir Thomas
Farquhar, Birt., from Westminster; and his Grace
read his answer, and then delivered to Mr. Harman
and Sir Thomas Farquhar copies in his own hand-
writing.

CHOLERA ON BOARD THE Rt*NLIE

CUTTER AT STORNOWAY.

We regret to intimate the fact of cholera having
broken out on board the Prince of Wales, revenue
crnizer, in the harbour of Stornoway. The Prince
qf Wales has been stationed on that coast for several
years, but she had been for the last six weeks,at
Leith undergoing repair. She left it on the 19th
ult. and anchored at Stornoway on the morning of
the 23d, thus accomplishing her passage in about
four days. At the time of her arrival, the crew
were in their usual healthy state, with the exception
of one man who had been ill before he left Leith,
but whose symptoms had not as yet become those
of cholera or any other contagious disorder. The
vessel was, however, placed under quarantine, in
conformity with an crder in Council, that all vessels
of whatever description coming from infected places,
whether their crews are healthy or not, shall be
subject to forty-eight hours' quarantine. On
the morning of the day following her arrival
(Sunday), Captain Oliver, the commander of the
cutter, sent for a surgeon and the officers of eus.l
toms, when Dr. M'lver and the collector went out,
but did not go on board; and to these gentlemen
Captain Oliver communicated the startling intelli-
gence that since the preceding evening several easel
of cholera had appeared among his creW, bite of
which had proved fatal after an illness of siefetti
hours. In all these cases the Captain added that he
had been using the cholera remedies from the me-
dicine chest on board. Stornoway being at the
time without any other surgeon, and if he boarded.
the cutter he would according to the quarantine
rules be forced to remain, Dr. Myer could render
no assistance further than giving out of the boat
some medical directions, after which he returned
with the collector on shore. The families of the
crew were all resident in Stornoway, and the
news of the calamity which had thus visited
the vessel threw them into a state of the greatest
anxiety and alarm, more especially as the particulars
were not fully made known to them. Each thoUght
those of his own household dying or dead, and the
certainty that all on board were liable to be attacked,
naturally gave fresh poignancy to their feelings,
which were by no means alleviated by the sad and
solemn ceremony of sea-burial which soon took place.
A boat, with apparently no one in her, was observed
in the dusk to leave the cutter, which was about a
mile from the shore. The men pulled amidst a
heavy gloomy sea, and with the wind blowingstrong
off the land, till they had arrived at a distance of
about half a league beyond the headlands which en-
close the harbour. Here they stopped, and the
usual obsequies were performed by Captain Oliver
himself, afttr which the body was committed to
the deep. The scene was altogether melancholy
and impressive. In the distressing situation in
which he was placed, and considering that no as-
sistance could be rendered, it was suggested by the
officers of customs and the local board of health,
that he should make at once for the nearest quaran-
tine station; and accordingly as soon as he received
a supply of necessaries, the Captain proceeded on
his painful mission. The crew of the cutter are
about forty in all, and before she sailed seven of
them had been attacked.—lnverness Courier.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of all kinds of Grain were moderate last week,
and this morning the fresh quantities are scanty. The weather
having been very favourable throughout the week, caused dull-
ness to prevail in the sale of every article. This morning the
best samples of Wheat being again scarce were readily sold at
last week's prices, but other qualities were very dull. Barley is
very scarce, and may be again reported Is. per quarter higher.
Beans and Pease remain as last quoted. The quantity of Oats
for sale just now is not considerable, and this article maintains
the terms of this day se'nnight. In the Flour trade there is no
variation.
