CITY, TiorFi.vr.
This is one A' the dullest morrings we hare experienced f.:r some
time past in the City. We ltsve neither news or the least speculation
gait; furward in the Funds, and the express front Paris is of little
or no importance. Owing to i:s haring been s holiday in that ca-
pital, the price of Hemet' are not quoted.
Consul% which left off yesterday at 9t to I for the Account,
oi,ened at the same price, and continue so, withnut a bargain doing
as yet.

The same stagnation prevails in the Foreign Market, and the
prices arc nominal.

Demerara Papers to the 10th April have been received at the
North and South American Coffee-house. They are destitute of
information.

HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.
We still continue in the same dull state as in the early part of
the morning. Consols have been to the present time 931 for the
Account, alternately buyers and sellers ; and for next Accounts
11311. No speculation of any consequence has taken place. Perhaps
after the Bulletin has made its appearance, there will be some
business doing.
In the foreign market some business has been doing in Spanish
and Oreck Bonds. The former has gone down one per cent. and
the latter about two per cent, owing to reports that Prince Leopold
has changed his mind, and will not proceed to Greece; but this is
mere stock-jobbing information, and cannot be depended upon.

TIIS MARQUIS OF RLANDFORD AND MR. HUNT

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
Stamfonl-street, May 22.
Si li,

Mr. Lionel Berguer, in a letter which was inserted in your Paper
of yesterday, announced his intention of sending an explanatory let-
ter to the Morniny Herald to support the equivocal statement aids
friend the iilarquis of Blandfonl, in opposition to that of mine.
Mr. Berguer's counter-statement is published in the Herald this
day, and permit me to ask you and your readers what his version of
the affair amounts to? Why a perfect and clear contradiction to the
Marquis, and a decisive confirmation of the truth of my statement.
My first statement was this...." that I had an interview at the
Star Office with the Marquis al his request." The Marquis denies
this, and says, " that Mr. Hur.t anxiously desired the introduction,
in order to prevail upon me to take the Chair at the great Metropo-
litan Meeting." I rejoin by saying this could not he the fact--"for,
that the Marquis had previously been applied to, to take the Chair,
and had declined it, upon which it had been offered to Mr. O'Connell,
who had accepted it." Now comes forth Mr. Berguer, and in true
Sancho stile kills off his own Knight, by giving a flat contradiction to
the Marquis's assertion. In his letter this day, Mr. Berguer says
" Mr. Hunt's assertion :appears quite gratuitous: more parti.
cularly so when it is recollected that Mr. Hunt had already
solicitously sought Lord Blandford by letter on a public
occasion, which solicitation the Marquis declined to accept."
That was, he had already declined for some days past,
to take the Chair, and which Mr. O'Connell had accepted. There.
fore, Mr. Berguer confirms my statement, and flatly contradicts that
of the Marquis. But Mr. Berguer forgets to state that Captain
Henley was present, and came oeer for me at the Marquis's request.
But I leave the Marquis and Mr. Berguer to reconcile these coon.
ter.staternents in the best way they can.
I am, Sir, yours very respectfully,
H. HUNT.
_ _ _

P.B.—Without having had any communication with you, Sir,
upon the subject, knowing you to be a man of honour and inte-
grity, I fearlessly refer any Gentleman who has doubts on this sub.
ject, to you for a confirmation of the truth to the very letter of my
statements.
