      surgeons were introduced for the purpose , unknown to each other , lest they should object to so unusual a loss of blood . " Lovelace—Sangrado ! Knight-errantry on the reverse side of the tapestry appealing through weakness to the sympathies of the fair ! He had heard how " Pity is akin to love , * and so the dissolute , obese seducer adopted for device , " Xone but the weak deserve the Fair . " There was not ~ much more dignity although more sincerity in . bis passion for Mrs . Fitzherbert : — " In 1784 , or early in 1785 , the Prince of Wales was so deeply enamoured of Mrs . Fitzherbert that he was -ready to make any sacrifice to obtain from that lady favours which ; she either , from indifference or scruple , persisted in refusing him . He did not conceal his passion , nor his despair at her leaving England for the . Continent . Mrs . Fox , then Mrs . Armitetead , who was living at St . Anne ' s , has repeatedly assured me that he came down thither more than once to converse with her and Mr . Fox on the subject ; that he cried by the hour ; that he testified the sincerity and violence of his passion and bis despair tythe most extravagant expressions and actions—rolling on the floor , striking his forehead , tearing his hair , falling into hysterics , and swearing that he would abandon the country , forego the crown , sell his jewels and plate , and scrape together . * competence to fly with the object of his affebtiens to America . " What a pity he did not go . Something ; worse than the mere ludicrous follows . The Prince married Mrs . Fitzherbert : — 14 It was at the Prince ' s own earnest and repeated solicitations , not at Mrs . Fitzherbert ' s request , that any ceremony was resorted to . She knew it to be invalid in law ; she thought it nonsense , and told the Prince so . In proof tlat such had been her uniform opinion ; she adduced a very striking circumstance—namely , that no ceremony by a Roman Catholic priest took place at all , the most obvious method of allaying her scruples , had she any . I believe , therefore , she spoke with truth when she frankly owned' that she had given herself up to him , exacted no conditions , trusted to his honour , and set no value on the cerfemony which he insisted on having solemnised . '" After this the Prince with his . own hand wrote a deliberate denial in a letter to Fox , who wrote mentioning the reports of such a marriage , and imploring him if not too late to pause ere he committed an act so prejudicial to his interests . " Make yourself easy , my dear friend , " wrote the Prince . u Believe me , the world will now soon be convinced that there not only is but never was any arbundifor these reports , which have of late been so malevolently circulated . Believing in the word , of a Prince so seriously given , Fox denied the marriage in the House of Commons . " There is the strongest reason to suppose that neither correspondence nor the subsequent assurances , in whatever shape they were conveyed , were ever acknowledged to Mrs . Fitzherbert by the Prince . That lady , by her conduct on the denial and in her subsequent account of those transactions , has uniformly implied , first , that a ceremony had taken place previous to Mr . Fax's denial , in which she is indisputably correct ; and secondly , that Mr . Fox had no authority to deny the marriage in the way he did , which false impression

      J ^ Sg ^^^^ Mrs . Fitzherbert at the time ' did not dis | aise her reSS * She iffiS ^ smk te ^ Fox . There can be little doubt that she urged the Prince to takeaam . « t ™ £ ? ZS ?

The Prince certainly not onfvXS from remonstrance or correction ot [ the statement to Mr ; Fox himself , but ^ iever v « SS £ hint to him that he had exceeded his authority , or even been indiscreet in aUeirinpVt . T * r £ he spoke in some such strain to others ; and he actually sent the next moroinffWMr Gnrr ( Lord Howick and Earl Grey ) , who was then in high favour with him , and , after much preamble , and pacing in a hurried manner about the room , exclaimed , ' Cbafles' ( he alwna so called Mr .

      MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTEXMGENCE . Friday EveniMff , February 3 , 1854 . HiiAVY apocalativo and bonajlde transactions in the Consol market have been the feature of the week , and although it is sti ll nearly two weeks until the settling day , an eighth « ac « has boon demanded for continuing the account until JMarch , proving a heavy Bear account . The fluctuations , tnough continued , have not "been such as the warlike news warranted , probably , as mostly is the case with such nowi , rrom its having been discounted in Itho market . Mo it Blocks and shares have experienced a decline—Mexican clock , as an execution , having risen nearly two-and-a-half per cent , during the week .

      Considerable money purchases have increased the scarcity of ready stock , and the Sooth SeaCompany , it is said , has teen aellingits own' stock very largely and fevesting to Consols to the same extent , giving another upwardstendenoy todis « appoint -the expectations of ; the Bean , who conndentW expected , and still expect , a depreoiatioa of 5 or even 10 per cent , of the present price .

      CORN MARKET . Mark Lane , Friday Evening , Feb . 3 . Loo At Tba . de . —The supplies of Wheat since Monday are moderate , and of Barley and Oats very short . There is a small attendance , and prices are nominally the same , with a very small amount or business doing . There is , however , an impression that greater activity will be manifested before long . Floating TjtADB .-Since this day week the trade in cargoes has been very quiet , and holders have bocfr quite willing to give way in price where buyers have come forward . Of these , nowever , very few have appeared , except at a greater reduction than holders are willing to submit to . The demand from Franco has . for trie time , altogether ceased , and the markets are all declining , while at Antwerp the housos are too full of stock to be able to take advantage of the dull markets to buy again . Stocks of Wheat in Ireland are short , but there is said to be a fair quantity of Flour oi > hand there , and both merchants and millers are acting with groat caution . The chief sales this week have been Bervojal cargoes of Taganrog Ghlrka 73 s ., Odessa Ghlrka 70 s * atad COs ., Sandomirka 008 .. allon passage . A cargo Polish Odessa arrived , 70 s . 9 d ., and the Carl and Emma , MariaiiopoU , arrived with fair report , at Ms ., being 3 s . por ox . leas toon , was paid loat week for Jane and Elizabeth BordiaoiBKi ar Wc ° can buy to-day Sandomirka at 70 s ., Odessa
