MATPIMONIAL BROKERAGE.

M. do Foy, the proprietor of a " Bureau de Ma: iages,"
at Paris, breught an action in the Tribunal of the First Instance
against 111. lierchaud, a little cutler, for neglecting to pay 600 t.
the price of his agency in procuring the said lierchaud a wife.—
The little cutler, it seems, tint finding trade go on so !middy as 0
could desire, and being, besides, in debt to the amount o 1, tow'
thought he might manage to retrieve matters by making a pruden •
marriage, and so applied to t 1 de Poy, the " matrimonial agent,"
who gallantly receive: nothing from the ladies who employ
him, making it a rule only to charge the men. The little
cutler would be well satisfied, he said, to get a wife with
3,000 f. but the gallant matrimonial agent was so obliging as to find
hint one worth 19,0001. and for such a kind service the little cutler •
promised him 600 f. to be paid after the celebration of the marriage.
That promise he had, however, refused to fulfil, alleging that the
bargain was a scandalous and unlawful one. Besides, if It were
lawful, it had not been fulfilled, be contended. on the part of the
matrimonial agent. "Of the wife herself," said his counsel, " I
shall say nothing; my silence will, no doubt, he properly inter-
preted ; but her fortune, instead of being 12,0001. was found after
the marriage to be only 500 f." The Court decided in favour of
the matrimonial agent, as a distinct bargain had been made be-
tween him and the cutler, hut, in consideration of the latter', dis-
appointment, reduced the sum to be paid from 600 f. to 300 f.

It has long been a subject of wonder and regret the:
the rank of certain persons does not act as a bar to their
' use of language towards each other which would disgrace
Billingsgate.
Persons who pay attention to every thing have re-
marked that all those years which end with nine hare
been distinguished by excessive cold, from 1709 to 1829.

An astonishing proof of the ex tre i.e depression of a.2:rt-
c t:ture occurred at a sale near Boston, last ts eek. Stet it
tons of hay, to be consumed on the Ft:cruises, sold for
15s. and, stranger still, three tons sold for one shilling!

oats for five shillings! It is proper to remark, hoe -
ever, that the latter were exceedingly damaged by t!u•
dreadful storm of July last.
Notice has been given of an intended app;ieation

A fire broke out yesterday afternoon, at the country
residence of ISAAC D. GOLOSIA ID r, Esq. at Herne-hill,
who is a Director of the Globe Insurance Coo:piny. It
was occasioned by one of those large Gems;►n stoves v. tacit
extend through several floors, and convey heat by means
of iron tubes, to different apartments, having become rid-
hot, which thus spread the ignition. A number of tr.-
gine; and a strong posse of the police, immedittety, up q
the alarm being given, proceeded from town to Het Ilt -
hill to protect the property ; which, after censideralle
destruction by the tames, they effected.
