morning, the Lord Chanellor presiding, to investigate
a petition from Guernsey, touching the conduct of
the Lieutenant-Governor of that island. Sir James
Graham and other Lords were present.
A number of equipages, belonging to the dif-
ferent members of the Royal Family, left town
at an early hour this morning for Black-
heath, to join in the funeral procession of her
late Royal Highness the Princess Sophia Matilda.
The procession was appointed to leave the ranger's
house (the Princess's late residence) at one o'clock, to
proceed to the Great Western Railway station at
Paddington. A special train was ordered to be in
readiness to convey the royal remains to Slough,
from whence a procession will be formed to St.
George's Chapel, Windsor, where the cavalcade is
expected to arrive at eight o'clock this evening.

DEATH OF THE DOWAGER LADY FLOYD.—We re-
gret to hear that 'Sir Robert and Lady Peel have received
from the Continent the melancholy information of 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 (wen's visit, in the enjoyment of excellent
health, a fortnight back left this country for Italy, with
the intention of also sojourning a short time at Nice.
On reaching Paris, however, the deceased lady was
seized with symptoms of indisposition, which, in two
days, terminated in her death. Her Ladyship died on
Wednesday last. 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 Lieu-
tenant-General Sir John Fuller, who died in October,
Is4l, and Lady Peel.
ACCIDENT TO THE MARQUIS 01' WORCESTER..--.
As the Marquis of Worcester, while hunting, on Satur-
day, was galloping at speed across a field near Petty
France, an accident occurred to him which threatened
the arost serious, if not fatal, consequences. The fore-
feet of his horse hitched in a cart-rut, and the animal
fell forward and turned a complete somersault with the
Marquis under him. We are happy to state, however,
notwithstanding the violence of the tall, and that a rider
rode against the horse while down, with considerable
force, his Lordship escaped with the moat trifling in-
jury.—Bath JournaL

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 manufacture:.
The expectation of the terms of the French loan being
known here has caused the English Stock 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.
Consols for transfer upon the re-opening of the books
are 1001 to 1004. Exchequer Bills are 565. to 58s. pre-
' mium, being again very firm. East India Bonds obtain
735. to 755. premium. Bank Stock has been marked
2071 to 2083-. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.

Cents. bring 1001 to 4.
The Foreign Investments are very inactive. Spanish

The Railway Shares realise steady prices, but the
