COMMERCIAL SUMMARY. Inc news by tnls
arrival presents European politics in more
threatening aspect than at any previous period
during the past year, and its importance, not less
than its exciting interest, predominates over all
other intelligence.
In England, the unsettled and alarming state
OF continental politics. and the fears generally in
dulged in with reference to the forthcoming in
teligence by the Overland mail from lndia had
the effect up to within three days OF the sailing
OF the Niagara, to create considerable despond-
ency in commercial cities, and almost entire sus-
pension OF extensive operations in every depart
ment of trade. The Cotton market was unusual
ly dull and depressed, and prices receded fully
lid. Nearly every principal article OF COM
merce partook OF the general move. But on
Wednesday the anxiously looked for India news
was receiyed,a and being OF more favorable char
abter than had been anticipated, re action i'm
medately set in, and at the moment of the Mag
ara's departure every department OF trade had as
sumed lar more cheerful aspect Cotton, that
sure barometer OF commercial health and conhd
ence, rallied at cnce to the extent OF 8 of pen
NY, and the markets Tor the week closed with
rather active demand.
There has been no improvements in the trade
Tor breadstufs since the advices by the Canada
were forwarded. In tact pr ces al all the lead
Ing markets have continued to recede but low,
as they now are, purchasers still hold off from
tom,
There has been no diminuton in the extent Of
employment in the manufacturing districts, but
there has been perceptble falling off in the de-
mand for manufactured goods.
The reports by the overland mail represent
trade at Bombay, Calcutta and Canton to be good
and business generally to be in a healthy state.
American stocks ully maintained their prices.
ENGLAND.
In Parliament the proposal of Mr.. D'Israe TO
make an inquiry into the peculiar burdens on land
with view to theft relief, has been disposed OF
by majority of $50 to 1885, This ma orty is
quite decisive for the present, but Mr.. D'IsLae
promises 10 bring it forward again.
The army and navy estimates have been car
rled by majorties quite as large as heretofore
The long threatened opposition of Mr.. Hume
and Golden has subsidized into the meekest dis
claimer.
In the House OF Commons against the present
alleged excessive number OF troops, only the
most Insignificant minorities have supported the
hnancis reformers. The events in India seem
to have aroused the British feeling so long kept
in allegiance, and it is quite plain that the cry of
"ships, colonies aud commerce." was never more
popular than at this moment. Up to this period
OF the session the state OF parties in the House,
has not undergone any material change. There

The political opponents of the present ministry
do not aim to expe them IRON Office A Peel
ministry, split up the Peelites are into two
parties, and forming together scarcely sixth
part of the House, is at present out OF the ques-
ton; and the Proectionists' party are waiting
for the further development OF free trade meas
ures, which they believe, with the depre citation
OF agricultural produce, will terminate in such
baip nal hot al

We rejoice 10 say that the cholera is fast dis
appearing. The total OF cases has reached A.
304, OF which 1900 were in the Metropolitan
districts-about 100 in the country-and more
than l 600 in Scotland. The total deaths have
been 3464
The weather has been unnterruptedly fine
and mild tor the season.
IRELAND.
The west and south of Ireland seem 10 be in
deplorable state. Several irightfu murders are
reported. The cholera is committing extensive
ravages in Limerick To compensate for their
sad aud distressing vistatiohs, the farmers have
commenced tilling the ground to vast extent,
and the potoois again planted to greater breadth
than heretofore.
FRANCE.
Public attention continues to centre in the tri
ais at Bourges Of the political prisoners, which
are proceeding with due soemnity
After painful investigation into all the cir
cumsances connected with the murder of Gen.
Brea, the Government has spared the lives OF all
the convicted party, with the exception ftwo
who were brought to the scaffold on the the l4th,
and gullotined
This first application of the hateful instrument
OF punishment, since the last revolution, has ex-
cited the Red Republicans 10 uncomfortable fury.
They have stigmatised the President as an exc.
cuoner and an assassin, and M. Proudhon ends
an outrageous article on the subject by thus adj.
dressing Louis Napoleon. "You have restored
the guillotine, and 1t will disappear only with
you''
The abolition OF the clubs has been decided on
in the assembly by slender majority Of 378 over
459; the division being taken by ballot.
At Toulon there great preparations for en-
barking troops, and in consequence of the move
ment in Piedmont and Italy, the army of the
Alps has been again recruited, and every arrange
ment made SO that large division OF troops NAV
cross the Alps, should an armed Intervention be
resorted to.
Up to this moment there seems cordial and
complete understanding between the French and
English Governments, in respect to the affairs of
I.aly.
