previous, the particulars Of which are thus
stated:
A Mr.. Pearson states that on Sunday,
about two o'clock, while walking in ST..
James Park; he saw the carriages con-
tanning her Majesty Prince Albert, and
suite, approaching from the Chapel Royal
and when near the little gate leading out
of the drive into the Green Park, he saw
a young man who was standing near him,
with his back to the rails, pull pistol
out OF his breast, and, as the Queens car
riage passed, present it, but whether he
pulled the trigger he could not tell. ."
At any rate the pistol did not 60 of,
and no sooner had the carriage passed than
the individual returned the weapon to his
breast. Mr.. Pearson having unfortunately
most serious impeachment in his speech,
may account in some manner for his not
having raised an instant alarm. He admits,
also, that he at first considered the exhi-
bition of the pistol was out Of frolic,
and not seeing any policemen near, consid.
cred the party would be out of sight be-
fore he could make persons understand his
meaning.

mail arrived at Marseilles, brings an &C

State Of the country.-The past week has
been an unfavorable one for commerce;
the markets in almost every case have
been in very dull state, the home trade
have been shy purchasers, and shipping
orders for goods have been unusually small.
The inactive state Of affairs is much com.
planned of, and prices of all articles e.
cept for export are unusually low; but a.
the Tariff is in fair way of being soon
settled, we hope to be able to report O
more satisfactory state Of things shortly.
That the trade were never more bare Of
stock than at present is admitted by oil
parties. .''..
The letters received from Lancashire and
Yorkshire are little more satisfactory.
The slight improvement felt in Manchester
at the date of our last paper, has been 80
far sustained, but much will depend on the
tenor of the accounts by the Indian mail
whether the ground gained can be pre-
served.
Money continues to be plentiful, though
on Wednesday and Thursday higher rates
were required in the discount market
Large houses obtained ready three and
half per cent. for first class paper.
There is a fair promise of abundant crops.
