stone, Martin &.Co , deputed to receive the first instalment of the Russian scrip, was completelv besieged throughout the day, I\" the serin holders, and the amount which die linn passed at the clearing house in the evening, amounted to no less than «'tie million pounds sterling; this amount is independent »: targe sums paid on previous days fora similar account.The retirement of Mr.Jones Lloyd, die eminent banker in the city, lias occasioned much regret amongst merchants and other», as he was held in high estimation for Ins talents, integrity and gon'lemanly demeanour.Cash i« still abundant, and ;t I» a subject of remark as well as of gratu-lation, that the hills offered on the market are not from parties likely to lie connected with spe-e.ulntive transaction» in cotton, &r., which from the recent advices from America, might have been suspected.The commercial business, so far a» is indicated on the Money Market, partakes of nothing of a speculative character, and seems lo be confined purely to bona fide transactions.Rills are discounted nt 2:| to 3 per cent, and for money on call, 2 per cent may be procured.The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at (50 days' sight is 108 per cent., and the par of exchange between F.ng-land and America being 109 \u201823-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 1.58 per cent, against England.Rut, after making allowance Ibr difference of interest and charges of transport, the present rate does not admit ol gold being exported to the United Stales.In the Metropolitan, Home and Colonial Markets, business lias been very dull, and symptoms of a decline in the value of most of the articles of produce has been very apparent.Parcels offered by pubi c auction l ave been generally bought in hy the importers, rather than submit to a sacrifiée.'There has been no speculation, and the trade have taken advantage of this occurrence toeffecta reduction in prices, and in consequence, very few transactions have occurred.Tire trade of the country has been moderately active throughout the fortnight, and articles of manufacture have commanded an average amount of attention.The prospects for the future are considered upon the whole to be very favourable.IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.llou r, of I,onr»s.T; timlny.Ini.31.Tlii< day l!.e third -\u2022 «molt ol i!k> (irf-rnl I'arl onenl «¦a'.rpen»d hy ro\u2019: rno\u2018'on in f'rjrou* < h.»mt \u2022 r : ;>\u2022 l>ro;>rial*d ior lie: d-i.l eraltoit* .of the h«r« i'a, .r» ' ni e!» uf ihe l. hand the Mall d lain of tho llbutehold, entered ¦!.hou*e, ind iri * mken their sea\u2019f.tl e Lord C \u2022.\u2022 ll -r dirr cti d the lllaek I!'d to .umtn m t!
