Commercial and Financiai.- During the past week
business has manifested decided activity though
not visbIy alic ;cd by the occurrences which have
taken place on the Continent
The astounding calamiticS which have ovcrtaicn
the French capital, have necessarily absorbed much
OF the mercantile attention to the disregard Of trade
engagements; our men OF business choosing rather to
await the result Of those movements than TO risk opcr
aons pending contingencies pregnant with influences
vital and important. Notwithstanding the occurrence
Of momcntous events, the general feeling Of trade has
been confident and the tone firm. in the manufacture
ing districts, though bu~in has not been brisk, the
tendency to expand.
Money lUafhcf.-The money market continues
easy, in the face OF the European disturbance and the
incrras, OF the precious metals is enormous, though
much iucuation took place. The successive duprcs-

Business of the week limited, but prices continue to
b. maintained with considerable trmncss, owing in
a great measure TO the uniavorablc state of French
affairs and the dcterrng influence which is exercised
upon the carly prospects Of the harvest and holders
in consequence shew increased firmncss. Fresh
arrivals of Flour of supcriinc qualities have realized
our maximum quotations, but the several articles
Of brcadsmts have dropping tendency. AT the
market yesterday, retailers operated steadily in
Flour, and though some parcels Of Indian Corn
and Meal were taken for Ireland prices advanced
but little, if any at all, upon yesterdays quotations
The Metropolitan market is steady, and the
