Yesterday morning with inellsen from the nted
States which has been though, very uufavorable, 80
Ear as time has permitted s discussion in the
Of the present afternoon The discord which rcigns
at Washington particularly on the subject Of the
Tariff, the announcement Of the more than probable
nom payment ofths interest on Pennsy lvania bonds
and the addition OF Arkansas to the insovent States
all tends to increase tho gloom and mistrust
which prevail in the American trade. Better &C.
counts from the United States expected with so
much anxiety in consequence OF the depression and
misery OF the manufacturing population here tina,
much disappointment, is created when tho steam
ships arrive without intelligence OF improvement in
the nex world.
Though only days have elapsed since the de
par,ure OF the Great Western It is important TO OBJ.
serve tina, the weather has continued very hot and
dry, and in London the present has been brilliant
afternoon. The accounts continue TO be favorable
from all the agricultural districts. and from ireland
tho letters OF Saturday arc particularly promising
and in consequence the London corn market has
been dull this morning at decline OF 2s. per quar-.
ter on English and foreign wheat.
In the manufacturing districts trade was also al
lowed to be better on Friday and Saturday, and a
very large business ,osk place at Manchester and
Leeds. Thi,i the great thing to be desired as The
manufacturing population are becoming distressed
in very great masses-Iio,s arc threatened in the
lotteries OF Stnfordshire-nnl the whole state Of
affairs is such threatens the uimos, difficulties

The death of tho Duke of Orleans continues TO
be the subject ofgrea interest and speculative opin.
ions, and is universally regretted here. The Cham.

question OF the Regency being supposed TO be the

pointed to as tho probable Regent, as the Duchess
of Orleans has the disadvantage OF being foreign
er-of Indifferent health, and otherwise a woman
is not very fitted Tor the task OF preserving mon.
archy in republican France, in the present stormy
times.
Here every thing so depends on the weather that
solid or permanent improvement in general busi-
ness is not TO be anticipated until the harvest is
secured; but IN addition to the fneness of tho sea-
son IN England. there ATE continued favorable ac-
counts from all patts of Europe. Ii is important

n great dinner was given TO Sir Allan McNab
on Saturday afternoon, at the Fhatched House la

Major Cooke, who is amongst the passengers by

LONDON, 10th July.
The melancholy end of the Duke or Orleans.
occupies the almost exclusive attention tf the Pa
rlsan journalists IN the papers Of Thursday. The
general tone OF their articles is in fair and gene
rous spirit, and do not even except those of the
Royaliss and Republican prints, whose language
on the dreadful event was locked for with some
curiosity. The Royal Family in France NAV find
great reasons for consolation in the unaniuous tri-
butte pad TO the memory OF the Prince Royal. HIS
rank and ch various spirit is admitted on all hands,
his accomplished mind and amiabic manners; his
courage-hs sodicr-like besring-his generositv-
nay, may nod, h S spoTtsmanlike qualities are
all in turn alluded to. The Deblts makes use of
no exaggerated eulogum in describing H. a late DIXIE
of Orleans rs the best of sons the most tender Of
husbands the most afeelonate brother nd the most
sincere and devoted friend. The Co slitutonne
the organ of NJ. Theirs, assures its readers thai
nothing had been changed in France by the death OF
the Prince Royal, as the natural dynasty h. taken
root IN the soil OF France, from which il could not
be torn up; and the throne upon which Louis Phil.
lppe was seated and which he ought still LONG 10
preserve for the happiness Of Fcance would descend
| to its heirs. France" adds the Co.'s ilu;ionnei
i, 10 be- So for before all she wishes for order
and security, wiIhous which thete 10 no prosperity
for nations"
The radical, PaHi,, also expresses its LOYALTY for
the dynasty, but couples IL with the hope that IL
will take TO its counses such men as will abandon
the fatal course Of policy ended IN the Revolution
OF 1850, which had caused such general distfust
and dislike.
The OpLos BARRor organ, tho Courier Fran
Gals cautions the public not TO make danger Of
the calamity that had fallen on the nation, and re
marks that mnoTiIies were principally TO be dreaded
IN Absolute, but not IN Constitutional Govern
menis. France" the Courier Francais contends,
will conduct herself well, even if the seeptre be
| welded by child"
Tn. Henri cling organ, the Quotidisnne. states
that the death Of tho Prince is Just subject Of
profound grief for his family. and in political point
OF view, was an event Of the creates. Importance
The Court organ, the PreSss, find, n topic fer
consolation IN the fact that France can hold up her
head and not ee dishono5ed by the Princes death,
as II had been the result OF an accident and not "a "
the hand Of a vile assassin.
The Chambers will have long session instead
Of short one on the Srd Of next month as a Re
geney Bill is TO be proposed by the Cabinet. There
is 10 be council composed Of several members.
