LONDON. -Durng the time that has elapsed since
the publication Of our paper the 4th ult, there
has been, generally speaking, dull trade in all de-

commercial policy Of Sir Robert Peel has been finally
disposed Of, it is vain TO expect any improvement in
this branch Of business. During the week ending
