nicntary discussions record, having lasted eight
DAYS The result augurs badly for the extension and

lieyed Will not IN dissolve parliament, before

beat their proposal OF an duty, then II 10

that we shall have general election. Such excite

taken place particularly in the West India trade
The exchanges continued, however, favorable, and
gold was somewhat Gearer IN London than on the
Continent. This tie result of the dearness
of the currency in England, rather than OF actu-
ally favorable commercial balances. In tho ma
nufacturng districts the gloom and stagnation of bu
siness rather increased than otherwise, and working

ket had consequently suffered further depression Of
