Quite a sensation was produced in our City circles this
morning by the announcement of the most important fact,
that the Cabinet of Sir Robert Peel is at an end, temporarily
As is most ardently hoped, as of late the general feeling has
been that the Right Honourable Baronet has been
making rapid strides in favour of free trade, or
perhaps, more correctly speaking, an approximation thereto.
Who will be sent for ? This is a question not very easily
replied to. The Duke of Richmond is talked of—but he
could not get a Ministry together that would stand a week's
debate upon the corn-laws. Will the Queen not
request Sir Robert to re-constitute a Cabinet ?
The general. impression is that her Majesty will call
upon Sir R. Peel to take the helm again ; and if a dead set is
made against him on the great question, that a general elec-
tion is all but inevitable. The result of such an appeal to the
country at the present moment, and under the circumstances
of the nation, would, without a question, be in favour of free •
trade.

There are not any later arrivals in the City from the Bri-
tish colonies to-day.
Consols for the Account have been rather heavy at 923/4
with the half-yearly dividend deducted. This looks a
very low figure indeed. The present price is 931. For
Money the price has just advanced from 933/1 to 94%. The
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents have been done at 943/4 and
951. Bank Stock is at 201. The premium on Exchequer-
bills remainsmuch the same,as:yesterday—viz., at 235. to 21s.
Brazilian Bonds have just sold at 775. The Grenada
Bonds have been quoted at 20%, with the dividend deducted ;
Mexican Stock has receded to 2914, Peruvian Six per Cents.
have been heavy at 34% to 35, Spanish Three per Cents. are
at 38, and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 59% 3%.
The demand for the Railway Shares has been rather heavy
this morning, and but an inconsiderable amount of dealing
can be noted.
