SIR ROBERT PEEL.

It is with much regret we announce that Sir Ro-
bert Peel is still in considerable danger. Tile bulletin
issued at 10 o'clock last night was less satisfactory
than any previous one, and Sir Benjamin Brodie, who
continues in attendance, with Dr. Seymour and Mr.
Cscsr Hawkins, had not left Whitehall-gardens at
midnight.
The anxiety to ascertain the condition of the Right
Hon. Baronet was painfully manifested throughout
the whole of yesterday. The nobility and gentry
began to make inquiries at 9 o'clock, and up to 11
o'clock last evening applicationscontinued to be made.
From midday until dusk there was a continued
stream of carriages passing through the court-yard.
The sympathy exhibited was not, however, confined
to the higher classes, for without the court-yard gates
a crowd was collected, who eagerly sought to ascer-
tain the latest intelligence from those who had in-,
spected the bulletin.
The Duke of Wellington sent a special messenger
from Apsley House at half-past 6 o'clock yesterday
morning, to ascertain whether Sir Robert had passed
a good night. The Queen and the Prince, and the
Prince of Prussia, sent messengers at 8 o'clock, and
within half-an-hour the following bulletin, under the
band of Sir Benjamin Brodie, was issued:—
" Sir Robert Peel has had a good night, and is, on the
wholo, better than yesterday.
" July 1, 1830, lislt-las: 8, A.M."
Tne Duchess of Kent and the Duchess of Glouces-
ter sent to make inquiries during the morning.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge sent at 10
o'clock ; and at noon his itoyal Highness Prince
George called personally.
The Nepeulete Princes sent a special messenger
during the morning.
At 4 o'clock a second bulletin was issued, which
ran as follows

" Sir Robert Peel is still suffering a good deal from
pain in the side and shoulder; but he is in n!) respect
worse thµ❑ he, was in the morning.
" July 1, 1830, 4, P.M."
A consultation was held at 7 o'clock, but no bul-
letin was iisucd. At 10 o'clock another consultation
took place. The following bulletin, we regret to add,
was the result:—

" Since 7 o'clock Sir Robert Peel has been very rest-
less, and his condition LI less satisfactory than it was in
the early pat t of the day.
" July 1. 1830, 10, P. 31."
The medical men remained in consultation when
cur informant left Whitehall-gardens at midnight.
The Queen and the Prince and the Prince of
Prussia sent to nifilte inquiries at ten o'clock last
night, and the Duke of Wellington about the same
time.

Lady Peel and all the members of the famPy re-
main in constant attendance.
HALF • PAST FOUR A.M.—We lament to state that
Sir Robert Peel continues in a most precarious state.
Sir Benjamin Brodie and the other medical attendants
remained with the Right Hon. B4ronet throughout
the night, and have. not yet left Whitehall-gardens.
We are informed that Sir Robert's sufferings have
much increased, and we fear that, should a favourable
charge not speedily take place, his condition must be
regarded as one of great, danger.

THE STATE OF SIR ROBERT
PEEL'S lIE ALT (T HIS DAY.)
On making inquiry this morning at the residence
of Sir Robert Peel, in Whitehall gardens, we find
that the symptoms in the Right Hon. Baronet, which
had caused so much anxiety to his relations and
medical advisers during the whole of yesterday even-
ing and up to midnight, 1 a l assumed a milder form
towards this morning, and that there was now much
less cause for alarm, though the Right Hon. Baronet
cannot be said to be out of danger. It appears that
early this morning he had some refreshing slumber,
which had resulted in some slight change in his con-
dition for the better.
The following bulletin was issued this morning :
" Ater seven o'clock yesterday evening Sir Robert
Peal's symptoms were con,iderahly aggravated, so as is
cause much anxiety respecting him.. Early in the morn-
ing he had some refreshing slcrp, and at the present
time the alarming symptoms are somewhat abated.
" July 2, 1850, half-past eight, A M."
SUN OFFICE, Three o' Cloch.
We have made inquiries. at Sir Robert Peel's
residence immediately before going to press this
afternoon, and are happy to learn that the Right
Honourable Baronet is suffering less pain, and that
the change for the better which was apparent in
his symptoms at half-past eight this morning still
continues.
The following bulletin has just been issued :
" Sir Robert Peel expresses himself as suffering less
pain, and in other respects is quite as well as he was in
the morning.
Half-past 1 o'clock P.m , July 2.1."
Crowds of persons continue to wait in the vicinity of
the illustrious invalid's residence, anxious to learn
the least information as to his condition, whilst the
carriages of the nobility keep pouring up to the
door with the same eud. So great and continous is
the crowd which assembles at the entrance of the
Right Hon. Baronet's residence that policemen have
been stationed there to maintain order.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEW S,
CITY, TW 0 O'CLOCK

The sales of Cotton, at Liverpool, yesterday, were es-
timated at 10,000 bales, of which 500 American were
taken for export, and 2,500 American and 1,200 Surat
on speculation. The market closed very firmly at -V.
per lb. advanca for American and Surat.—RlilwaY
Shares were dull, and prices had a downward tendency.
The accounts from abroad describe the money markets
as being generally easy.
The Banker's Magazine for July, states:—
" Money continues plentiful; and the rate of discount
for first-class bills at about three months may be called
at from
,2 to 2i per cent. per annum; and there is some
difficulty in finding a sufficiency of such paper. The
allowance by the brokers "on call" Is from i to 2 per
per cent. We believe that the market may be described
as in a healthy condition. Thereis very little, if any,
undue speculation in commodities. The dealings in
coffee have nearly ceased so far as extensive speculations
are concerned; and it is to be apprehended that the cases
are few where the result has been satisfactory.
" We are gratified to learn from Germany that the
proposals made by the Prussian Government, for in-
creasing the differential duties'of the Zollversin against
British manufactured goods, is likely to be defeated. A
very vigorous opposition has eprun,g up in nearly all the
provinces of the kingdom; and the remonstrances for-
warded to Berlin are of the-most decided character."

The indigo buyers are anxious for an alteration in the
plan of " taring" the article. They wisb, after it has
been in the warehouses a certain time, that it shmild be
re-tared, as the original tare marked on the chests is
often found to be incorrect, owing to the samples taken
out and the repacking.

A meeting of the 'Birmingham and Oxford Junction
Railway Company 'having been convened for the 6th
July, to take into. consideration " A Bill to authorise a
sale to the Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railway
Company of no Stratford-upon• Avon Canal Naviga-
tion," inquiry has been made upon the subject, to which
the following reply (dated 27th ult.) from the secretary
has been received:—
" In reply to your letter of inquiry, I beg to inform
you that the Bill of this session to authorise the sale of
the Stratford Canal to this company is promoted by the
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Com-
pany, under an agreement between the companies. It
will not interfere with the agreement between this com-
pany and the Great Western Company, as it is therein
provided for; and the Great Western Company have to
provide any additional capital that may be required by
this company."
The following are extracts of a letter from the secre-
tary of the Tours and Nantes Railway:—
" Out of the capital called up, 13/. on 80,000 shares,
the disbursements have been:—
For establishment of the line from Tours to
Angers .£564,000
For materials+, and rolling stock provided, in
readiness for the section from Angers to
Nantes 102,000
For workshop materials, tools, implements,
&c., for the service of the entire line
For interest paid to shareholders ...
For miscellaneous ••• ••• •••
For caution money, in the hands of Go-
vernment ••• ••• ••• •.. 12,000
For cash-balance in hand and sundry debtors 16,800

... 212,000
... 68,000
65,200

£1,040,000

It will be particularly observed that the large sum of
102,000/. has been already expended for stock, in antici-
pation of the delivery by the Government of the whole
line to Nantes, which trantfer should have taken place,
according to our statutes, on the 27th of November last.
This delay, so prejudicial to the interests of the com-
pany, has justly entitled them " to eaim from the Go-
vernment an ind-mnity, and which the directors are now
pressing upon the serious consideration of the Govern-
ment.
" It cannot escapl observation that, if the proportion
of the receipts from the passenger traffic continued to be
sustained throlgzhout the last four months of our year,
June to September (and they are generally the
best months), this portion of our revenue for the cur-
rent year will apprcach, if not exceed, 40,0001. So far,
then, this traffic exhibits an excess above the amount
estisnated at the period of the concession (34,0004
being about 20 per cent., and this, too, for the first year's
operations. With respect to the goods traffic, it is im-
possible at all to appreciate its value until the line shall
have reached Nantes, for the very simple reason
(scarcely necessa-y to mention) that when once the
goods have taken the river at Nantes, the heavy ex-
penses attending flair unloading and reloading must pre-
vent their corning on to the line at Angers. To conclude, I
have the pleasure of announcing that negotiations have
been re-opened with the Government for a revision of
our lease, and with the prospect of favourable terms
being conceded to the company."

The Great Northern line is to be opened in the course
of a few weeks for a considerable distance directly out
of London, and a great deal of anxiety is manifested to
ascertain the influence of its competition upon the North
Western and the Eastern Cout.ties traffic. We may
expect, therefore, to see there important stocks more or
less influenced by this cause for some time to come.
