The statement in the Moining Chronicle respect

iug Sir Walter Scott's marriage is altogether prema-
ture. The story is said to have originated in a joke
of Mr. Jeffrey, who, as a mateh-maker, is, said to
have expressed an opinion that Sir Walter should
marry either Mrs. Coutts or Miss Bruce. This pro-
posal, in being repeated, was metamorphosed into the
complete rounded off fiction, against which neither
the Landoll nor the Provincial papers can always
guard. Should a marriage follow the rumour, it will
.by
not by any means be the first that has had such an
origin.--Glasgow Chronicle.

for several preceding ones. Though prices have not
given way, in either yarns or piece goods, should there
be no improvement 111 demand, it is to he feared that
it will not be possible to support the present quota-
tions. It may be observed,however, that the stillness
which prevails in the yarn market, is not greater than
is usual when the demand for the Russian shipments
has ceased.---Manchester Courier'

We are sorry to hear that an alarming epidemy has
broken out at Dunkerque. The 'nodality is dreadful,
and all the inhabitants that can afford it are removing.
Many have gone to Boulogne, where a bed can
scarcely be procured at any price. The fatality is at-
tributed to the unwholesome state of the water, and the
effluvia from the stagnant pools, arising from the long
continuance of hot and dry weather. Several Eng-
, lish families, for the sake of economy, were residents
at DunlierclUcoumAlcevort AdVertigr.
