IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE.

A dispatch, bearing a foreign post-mark, was handed very generally about

in the city this morning, but its contents did not transpire. Considerable

speculation is afloat on the subject, but we are unable to give any

particulars.

Downing-street was in a state of great activity all yesterday, and people

were passing to and fro repeatedly. This excitement is generally believed

to be connected with nothing particular. We have our own impression on the

subject, but as disclosures would be premature, we purposely forbear

making any. We can only say, at present, that Sir Robert Peel continues to

hold the office of Prime Minister.
