Yesterday was settling day in the British Market, and ta;
day is pay day, which will also go off well, as the differeneel

pay are not to any great extent, and there is no doubt that
drafts will be honoured.
Great excitement begins to prevail in the City on the itill)ch.;
tant event which is to take place to.morrow night in 0
House of Commons, on Sir R. Peel's notice, that the Alinists
do not possess the confidence of the House of Commons. d

single ship letter; such an event has not happened for a 0101

POTATOES.—The late shipments of this al' :ed

since the forward spring of 1833. Last week see`'
cargoes sold at from 30s. to 40s. a ton, not the price P 014
for them here, exclusive of freight, shipping charges'; ov

Here prices have not fallen in prcportion, as small eloi

mainly the cause of this great depression, but in the -,' of

dry rot has tended to increase it. In the mean tirq.oe,
reduced price is in favour of the working classes
