Tie past month has been ono Of more than
ordinary anxiety, both in mercantile and polti.
caj circles owing to the uncertainty which still
exists as to a Continental War This uneasy
feeling is enllanced by the various rrlmors and
political sr1nlses from time to time put forth by
the leading Journals, indicating that the issue
will be wnr, although in some quarters the
aroidaace Of hostilites is still predicted. The
rplly Of Government to Lord 'amerston s 1ucs-
tion Of the :.5tl u{t., On European afairs, being
considered rc-ussuring. coupled with Lord Cow
lcy'H mission 10 Vienna, it is to be hoped that
war may still be avcrted.

turns for twelve months ending 3lst December,
