Trade has been slightly depressed during the
last week, owing TO the renewal Of political agi-
lalion both in England aud Ireland and less
favorable tendency Of the continental adyices.
The produce markets have been less buoyanl.
Holders are rather anxious to realize, and prices
have, consequently, declining tendency.
There is also rather decline in value OF
cotton, aud the sales are limited.
The general aspect Of commercial affairs on
the continent continues dull aud unsatisfactory;
but in some respects Il slight improvement is
perccpubIe.
There is a further increase in the supply OF
money, aud the rate ofnIeresl yet tends down
ward.
The state of trade in the manufacturing dis.
ricts wears dscouraging aspect.
The Chartist agitation in England, and the
tenor of the adyices from the continent, are act
ing injuriousy in the demand goods or yarns
at Manchester.
The English securities have been firm during
tho week past. The market in the past two
days shows rise of about half per cent. The
directors of the Bank of England, without giving
any public notice, have commenced to make
advances upon bills Of exchange and other ap-
proved securities, at the raIe of three per cent.
per annum, until the payment of The July divl-
Idends-whst they have made no change in
their nominal rate Of discount, which is four
per cent as the private bankers and leading bro
kcrs have been for some time past discounted
at 303l per cent. The step is not likely to
have any great effect upon the market, especial
Iy, as from the large sums Of money offered TO
them by persons who find il difficult to employ
money profitabIy in trade, the broker and dis
counter are likely to compete successfully with
the bank. The settlement Of the account took
place yesterday and to-day without any difficult
~, owing to some oftho parties for a rise having
Oycrslocked the market. Consos for account
declined, and al the close re-established a con.
tnuation between money and time stock with
out difference.
The foreign market has been very inactive
during the past week and prices consequently
stationary.

The European Times, states that the rcsig-
nations of I.amartne and Ledru Rollin were
openly talked Of in Paris, and suspicious are

spiracy. LamarIine's friends alIege that his aim
was, by making peculiar demonstration, to a.
void a collision in the streets of Paris.
