THAMES GRAND REGATTA.—This, the chief regatta of
the season, came off on Thursday and Friday. On the
first day, when the labour was considerably increased by-
the gusty state of the weather, the racing commenced at
three o'clock, and continued until seven. The first—the
Apprentices'—match, for coat, badge, and freedom, was
won easily by W. Campbell (black.) The second race, the
principal one of the day, was the Campion four-oared
race, for one hundred sovereigns, open to all the world,
which was won by St. Agnes (the Claspers.) The Water-

and white.) The amateur four-oars, for a silver challenge
cup, by St. George's Club; and the last race of the day—the
amateur pair-oars—for two silver cups, by Berry and friend.
The weather on Friday was more favourable for ro wing
than on the previous day, although there was again too
much wind. The gentlemen amateur scullers' match for
the silver challenge cup and a silver wherry, was won by
Mr. Bone (yellow and black). The lantlsmen's four-
oared match for 50 guineas and 30 guineas added for
strangers, by Sheppard's crew, Chelsea (black). •.The

STATE OF TRADE.

The activity which prevailed in our market up to Tuesday
last has since considerably abated, partly on account of the
critical state of affairs in Ireland, and partly because the large
purchases made during the preceding ten days had cleared olt
the accumulation both of orders and stocks, which were previ-
ously on hand. During the last three days, the demand has
been on a moderate scale at the rates of Tuesday last; spin'
tiers and manufacturers having firmly resisted any attempt .
purchase at lower rates, whilst all the pressing orders of the
buyers having now been executed, they are not at all inclin
to pay higher prices. Indeed, at the present time, nobodY,
seems much inclined to push business. The conviction that
the measures adopted by government will bring the troubles e'
Ireland to a speedy crisis, in one way or the other,—by the
suppression of the agitation, on the one hand, or the outbren
of civil war on the other,—induces an unwillingness to enter
into extended commercial operations, until a more definite oPi'
nion can be formed as to the probable result of those measures;
It is, indeed, obvious that the future state of affairs in Irelan.,,u
must exercise an important influence, for good or for evil, MX':
commercial affairs in this country; and the accounts fin
Dublin will be looked to with intense anxiety for the next wee_:
or ten days. So far as we have beard, the determination oft
government to bring the affair to a speedy issue, has been,
hailed with great satisfaction amongst the merchants and Iva
nufacturers here.

buyers in the town during the past week ; they purchase .
more confidence, and in consequence, business has been Preses
good in the warehouses. The German and other foreign botlaci
