There are no arrivals to-day with later intelligence of
interest from any quarter. . .
The commercial markets are becoming quieter as
Christmas approaches, and there is a decided paring
down of operations to the lowest possible limits, in
order to enable parties to make up their books for the
year. The seasonable weather has served, however, to
give a little impulse to particular departments connected
with our textile manufactures.
The expectation of the terms of the French loan being
known here has caused the English Stuck market to rule
dull during the greater part of the morning, although it
is not certain that - much effect will be produced upon
prices here, as the principal distribution is expected to
be on the Continent.

DEATI.I Or TIIE-DOWAGER LADY FLOTD.—WC re-
gret to hear that Sir Robert and Lady Peel have received
from the Continent the melancholy information 01 the
sudden death of the Dowager Lady Floyd, mother of
Lady Peel. We are informed that her Ladyship, who
was at the banquet given at the Royal Exchange in ho-
nour of the Queen's visit, in the enjoyment of excellent
health, a fortnight back left this country for Italy, with
the intention of also sojourning a short tine at Nice.
On teaching Paris, however, the deceased lady was
seized with symptoms of indisposition, which, in two
days. terminated in her death. Her Ladyship died on
Wednesday lest. The deceased was relict of the late
General Sir John Floyd, Bart., whom she has survived
twenty-six years. By that Gallant General her Lady-
ship leaves issue Lady Fuller. widow of the late Lien.
tenant-General Sir John Fuller, who died in October,
18.41, and Lady Peel.
It was confidently reported at Antwerp that tiks4

wayr-one from Jurbise to Tottrnay, and the other from
6t Trccd to klandt—wl3 ivied on the el tut '
