THE RECENT ELOPEMENT IN HIGH LIFL•_It is con-
fidently said that the marriage of Lady Anna Grenville,
only daughter of the Duke of Buckingham, and Mr•
Langton will not be solemnised before the week after
next.

The Caledonia steamship, which would leave Boston on
Ist instant, may be expected here to-morrow or Thursday.
The Great Western, which was to leave New York on
Thursday last, will probably arrive at this port at a very
early period of next week.
PROTESTANT TRACTS.—It will be seen that the active
committee of the Liverpool Protestant and lieformation
Society, through their desire to spread scriptural princi-
ples, have opened a depot in London-road, for the sale of
Protestant tracts. A reading-room and library, for mem-
bers of the association, is also open at the same place.
THE UNICORN.—This fine steam ship, commanded by
Captain Delamore, arrived at Bo‘ton on the 17th ultimo.
Her passage was prolonged in consequence of westerly
gales and by a detention of about a week in the ice. She
afterwards put into St. John's, Newfoundland, whence
she sailed for Halifax on the 14th.
IRON TRADE.—The price of Scotch pig iron has, this
week, manifested no appearance,. of receding. For the
best brands of all, No. 1, from 68s. to 70s. has to be paid,
and from 635. to CBs. for the other numbers, according se,
they are assorted. This article being now mostly out a
the hands of needy holders, may be expected to continue
firm. Scotch bars remain at £lO per ton, and plates at
£l3 10s., with a brisk demand.—Scolch paper, Saturday,.

As a proof of the extraordinary success of the Chester
meeting, we may state that the receipts of the Grand
Stand amounted to £1.420. We understand that the
Race Committee intend to appropriate £lOO out of their
greatly increased funds to a new race for three year olds,
on the first day, to be called " the Chester field Handi-
cap," and, to insure ample accommodation for the bet-
ting fraternity, the ball-room at the Royal Hotel will, in
future, be opened as a subscription betting-room, an en-
trance to which, w th the permission of the Marquis of
Westminster, will be in Newgate•street. This will be a
great accommodation, and the proprietor, we hear, in-
tends to place a liberal percentage on his receipts at the
disposal of the Race Committee.
The Stewards for 1847 are the Earl of Chesterfield, Sir
J. Gerard, Bart., and Mr. S. Standish,
