There has been nothing doing in the Corn Market
since Friday last; and its pervading feature is extreme
dulness. Although we cannot quote prices actually
lower, yet their tendency is drooping, and a reduction
would, it is thought, be made in all descriptions of grain
and flour, if business could be done. Indian Corn is
firm, owing to the incrcz..sel consumption in Ireland
but little is doing. in it.

The commercial accounts received to-day by the West
India mail are not satisfactory. At Jamaica business was
so unusually dull that scarcely any sales of a wholesale
nature ware reported. The only article which passed with
some degree of freedom from the hands of importers was
flour, for which there was a slight speculative demand.
The intelligence received from America as to the grow-
ing cotton crop not being more satisfactory, the cotton
market to-day assumed a firmer tone. The sales were
8003 bales, at steady rates, of which 2000 were
lation and export. We have received the folk

ROMANCE

REAL LIFE

Under this title, the Glasgow Herald tells a remarkable
story. In the evening, towards the end of the year 1846,
when the typhus fever was making its ravages amongst the
poor in the populous districts of Glasgow, a female was
often heard singing at the edge of the pavement before
the Western Club House. Her dress consisted of little
more than a petticoat and a shawl. With the latter she
covered her face, head, breast, and shoulders. The
passer-by could not distinguish whether she was well-
formed or crooked, good-looking or marked by the small-
pox, young or old, but the musical connoisseur could
judge, from the melancholy strains that forced their way
from within the au-protecting shawl that the sounds
came from the voice of a girl of. abbut seventeen years of
age. She never solicited alms, but took whatever was
.given her with acurtsey, and now and then with a bless-
ing, murmured in a low voice. Two Germans one night
were struck with the great beauty of her voice; and they
nobly nittde an effort to raise het from the humble posi-
tion she was in. After a good deal of trouble, they found
out that she was a native of Edinburgh ; that, having
become destitute from the death of her father, the illness
of other members of her family (they were bedrid with
fever), and many other circumstances, and not being able
to getwork sufficient to provide for a sick motile and

Jingly, he one day yen-
ured a kind of reproach to his wife on the subject, who
mmediately replied with a smile, " Is this the cause of
your dejection, my Lord ? why did you not mention it
sooner ?" " How so ?" " Would you prefer a boy or a
girl ?" " A boy by all means." " You shall have one."
After a short interval the crafty Greek feigned to be in
the condition her lord desired, while every means were
employed prudently to exile him from the wife's apart-
ment. The blindness of his passion rendered this an easy
task, nor did a doubt cross his mind as to the legi-
timacy of the infant presented to him, which he named
Belgrade Bey, and the town showed itself duly sensible of
its sponsorial honours by the most splendid rejoicings. A
short time afterwards his Excellency Mehemet Pasha was
recalled to Constantinople, and subsequently appointed
Ambassador of the Ottoman Porte in London. But pre-
vious to his departure he expressed a wish that he might
have another boy, a brother and companion for the be.
loved Belgrade. His happiness, he said, would not be
completed unless he had two fine children almost of the
same age, of whose future career he had already formed
the most brilliant anticipations. As she had done in the
first instance, his wife replied, You shall have one.'
' Impossible !' exclaimed the husband, at first astounded.
'As truly as Mahomet is our prophet.' Well,' replied'
Mehemet, God is great! and it was thus that you an-
nounced my first-born.' At the end of a month she
again declared herself enceinte, and the Pasha was the
most delighted of men, but he was soon obliged to set out
for London, and left his wife at Constantinople to com-
plete her accouchement. This was all the Greek desired,
and using the same means as before, she presented one
fine morning to her assembled slaves and to a tew persons:
of her husband's family a fine child of the male sex, who.
received the name of Usnud Bey. After the lapse of a few
days the child fell seriously ill, and was sent, by order of
the physicians, to Pera, under the care of its governess.
Pera, as every one knows, is a suburb of Constantinople,:
inhabited by the mercantile community and by European
Ambassadors. Its air is purer than that of the city, and,
accordingly, young Usnud was soon brought back in per-.
fect health by his governess—the same woman who had
performed the office of nurse at the birth of Belgrade.
Singularly enough, however, an old black eunuch who had
brought up the Pasha, possessed his entire confidence, i
and managed his entire household could by no means.
recognise Usnud Bey in the child which was thus brought
back, and in the presence of several slaves said to his
mistress, ' Well, my lady, if that child be Usnud Bey, he
has become singularly altered by his sojournat Pera
among the infidels.' The mother remained silent, and
carried off the child, directing a fierce glance at the
eunuch. Doubt had established itself, however, in the
old man's mind ; moreover, he had long been enlight-
ened with respect to his mistress's doings ; he knew the
whole history of Belgrade Bey, and the reason he had
