ges, ana demanding nn increase of the rate now
paid to them.
The markets have been in some measure affec-
tel Inc briskness that manifested itself in the

action i'll the demand is expected as soon calm
takes place, us it is well known that very large
ders are now on hand for good', which have chief
ly arrived during tho past week. The deliveries
OF most kinds OF produce have again been very
large, especially of those articles enerng into
the composition of our manufactures, but the ar
rivals have been trivial The importers have not
been quite so willing to realise rs before, and but
few public sales have been brought foi ward n
lair trade has, however, been done by private con
tract, pnrlly for export aud partly Tor home con-
sumption, with some speculative purchases. Tho
corr market continues 10 tall, aud will do so for
some weeks 10 come we shall have the price at

In the Commons, on Monday, August S-Lord
Palmerslon asked Sir Robert Peel whether the
news which had lately arrived from India
true. There were conflicting accounts hut one
of them stated that the Governor. General OF India
! had issued orders for the withdrawal Of British
! troops from The west bank of the Indus. Sir
| Robert Peel said he had strong objections to make
communications upon the subject but he had ev-
cry reason to believe that the British troops still
occupied Candahar and Jealabad, and that they
were in such II condition as to prevent their being
speedily removed.
From France we find nothing worthy of mo-
ment. We have no news from India China by

all were peaceable, and then retired to their quar-
tiers. Abodl O'Clock on Thursday the mob broke
out in all ITS fury, aud bolore the police and SOL

they wanted. The police afterwards came up and
dispersed them. Nothing OF any serious moment
mas occurred but this no doubt, is owing TO The

tel that all The hand loom weavers employed there
shall turn ont. strong body of the police have
been despatched to dispense the rioters. The Mayor
