AND
COMMERCT AT4 INTELLIGENCE.

An active business is still experienced in discount
circles, and the inquiries at the Bank itself are also
rather numerous. The market, it is thought, will
continue animated until the payment of the divi-
dends P.:411y next month, Several millions sterling

is likely to be produced by revenue collections and
the contracted circulation resultihg from the rapid
accumulation of the Treasury balances.
From the manufacturing districts the accounts
during the past week mention that business in most
departments has continued dull. At Manchester
cloths and yarns were rather lower, while in the
woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Hudders-
field the operations have been principally in light
fabrics for immediate requirements. A better de-
mand has been experienced for hosiery and lace
goods at Leicester and Nottingham, while in the
hardware districts, viz., at Birmingham, Sheffield,
and Wolverhampton there has been little change

rilie Breslau Gazette relates the following :
".The Grand Duke Constantine every day receives
t.ll the foreign journals in one packet, and he is most parti-
cular in opening it himself in order that no important piece
of news shall be kept from him. One day, lately, there was
found in the packet that day's number of the Ruch, the
joisrnal of the National Government of Warsaw. How could
the paper have got into the well-sealed packet coming from
abroad ? That no one has yet been able to discover. It
this should continue,' the Grand Duke is said to have ex-
claimed, we shall be beaten even if we had ten armies. All
our troops will be of no avail so long as we shall not have
discovered this National Government !' "
