MONEY MARKET AND COM MIR Of A L INT ELL It - ENG E. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 - bales, including 1,000 American taken for export and on speculation. The market was tame but steady, without change in prices. Th© sales comprised 6,000 American, 150 Pernam and Maranham, at sd. to 7-0. ; 200 Egyptian at 50. to ; and 500 Surat, at 3d. to 37,d. per lb. Railway Shares were rather dull. There has been less doing in Colonial produce this week, and sales of some articles have been pressed. Particular descriptions of Sugar have realised full rates to a slight advance, but Briti3ll Plantation has been scarcely so high. Cotton has been dull, and in Tea there has not been much doing. At the Spice auctions most articles have brought advanced prices. In Cotton there have been but few transactions. Saltpetre has butte cheaper, and in Russian staples, including tallow, hemp, and flax, there has been a downward tendency. • In the accounts from the Cape we find a few in teresting miscellaneous items. The ship Granger had left for leondon with 121& tons of copper ore, and a quantity of wool and wine. Various ship ments of copper ore were taking place, which prove the increase in the production of the mines, and several new companies were being formed. The cold had been very severe in Namaqualand, and a large quantity of snow had fallen. The advices from San Francisco notice the arrival St. l there of H.M.S. Plov er, on the 28th October. Sstt.. She reported the arrival of H.B M. ship Enter prise, Capt. Collinson, who sai l ed t h e same day 12 50 for Port King. The Plover has been absent from 161 home since the year 1848, and is stated to look ex- 161 cee dingly well for the length of time she had been 1 8 9 t. i in the icy regions. The officers and crew were in 14 good health. The captain of the Majestic reports VA the weather very fine in the Arctic region, butt st. whales were scarce, shy, and very small. There 20 were but 50 ships iu the north. 10 The Dutch Legislature is discussing certain pro- le t i posed changes in the budget, and among them a 50 reduction of the tonnage dues. It appears by the 40 re port of a commission that th e fisheries ha v e se- E riously declined within the last ten years. St. The prohibition by Russia of the exportation of 8 :, 2 t grain across the frontier will, it is stated, not se riously affect Gallicia, which can supply its own 50 wants, and the neighbouring provinces are most t gil looked to by Austria for furnishing her army. 63 Of the London market for United States Stocks, ,% Messrs. Bell, Son, and Co. report as follows : 20 "There has been during the week a good demand for the Federal Governmen t Securities, with a very limited St. supply, and prices are well m S maintained ; whilst in some 1 :, ) °, of the State Stocks the supp l y has exceeded the demand, 16 and prices are generally lo wer. In Railroad Bonds the I.g actual transactions have not been to any extent, whilst 8 there has been an inquiry more particularly for the New 8 York and Erie 3d Mortgage, the Pennsylvania Central, St. and Philadelphia and Reading Bonds." 25 Itedeemalle.

The r e p ort that Prussia had j oined the Western Alliance has given some support, but, nA doubtless, the ma in cause of the buoyancy of prices IP' is the assertion that our national treasury is for the present well supplied. Consols have been 93 to I, and since 931 to for Transfer, being 93 to 10 t for Account. The " contango" therefore, as will 5 be seen, is smaller than it was.

TIIE PATRIOT:O FUND. RoTHERETAm-On Wednesday last a public meeting, . convened by the Crewe of the Feoffees, was held in the Court-house, Rotherham. The chair was occupied by C. Nightingale, Esq. A motion was made, expressive of the sympathy felt by the meeting for our gallant little band in the Crimea. T. B. Bosvile, Esq., proposed that the best mode of evincing such gratitude was by giving effect, in the greatest possible extent, to the provisions contained iti the Royal Commission for securing, reliev ing, and educating those families of our soldiers, sailors, and marines who have lost their lives in battle or by the casualties of war. Seconded by G. W. Chambers, Esq., and passed non. con. A committee was then organised, composed of the clergy and magistrates of Rotherham, to arrange the collections, which are to be deposited in the Rotherham Bank.

The Alma steamer, bound to the Crimea with clothing, provisions, &c., and between 40 and 50 officers, put into this port on Sunday last. She had steamed down to within a short distance of Plymouth, when, finding that she made very little headway, and getting short of fuel, she run back to Cowes. ?hough she is a •new ship some of her passengers think her not equal to . the voy age at this season of the year, and have left her. The Echo has been down from Portsmouth all day, and a survey has taken place, which, it is said, has ended satisfactorily, and she is to proceed on her voyage to morrow. Many of the officers Lo'ng out are very young men. The Royal Yacht Squadron schooner Fairy passed through our roads this morning, with a fine breeze from the northward, loaded with comforts for the heroes of Iskerman. She appeared very deep in the water, and can hardly be expected to reach her destination before the middle of January. " God speed the good ship."

Fresh up to-day the arrivals of English wheat coastwise and by land carriage were on a very moderate scale, and the show of samples was comparatively small. The few prime qualities on offer were held at full prices; but low and middling kinds wore dull in tale, and the terms in favour of millers. We had a moderato inquiry for really prime foreign wheats, on former terms. Infetior parcels commanded scarcely any attention, and their value was almost nominal. The barley trade was dull, at Monday's decline. Malt sold heavily, at barely stationary prices. The show of oats was extensive. Sales progressed slowly, and damp parcels wero the torn easier. Beans and peas were heavy, at barely late rates. We had a slow sale for flour, and ship qualities were offering rather cheaper. ARRIVIA UIB MUSK. Wheat. Barley.

Last evening a crowded Illieetinz of electors of the borough was held at the Victoria Tavern, Mornington road, for the purpose of hearing an exposition of the po litical principles of Mr. Bell. Mr. Churchwarden FARREII was unanimously called to the chitir, and remarked that from all that could be ascertained, the borough had now four candidates be fore it—viz., Mr. Tennyson D'Eyhcourt, who was too old for Parliamentary labours ; Sir Charles Napier, who would be better exercising his prowess iu the Baltic ; Lord Ebrington, who .carne before them under false colours ; and, lastly, the oentlenian whom he now in troduced to the meeting, 'Air. Jacob Bell. Mr. BELL, On presenting himself to the meeting, was received with general applause. He said, although in vited to stand at the outset lie hung.back in the expec tation of a candidate appearing who would secure the unanimous support of the electors ; but such not having yet appeared, and being pressed by many to come forward, he had done so without hesitation, and was determined to go to the poll. He knew that there were parties going about endeavouring to pervert the circumstances of his connection with a borough which was well known. (Laughter.) He could show that with respect to that he was more sinned against than sinning. The honour able candidate then entered at great length into an ex position of his political opinions. He had frequently shown his support to local self-government, when the Poor-law Board or the Board of Health, as it formerly existed, assailed them, in his• position as guardian. (Hear.) With reference to the war, being engaged in it, lie would push it on in conjunction with their allies with the greatest vigour, in the hope of an honourable and permanent peace, but he would more especially devote his attention to their local interests. He was the friend of civil and religious liberty, and thought so man ought to be excluded from the enjoyment of civil or political rights on the account of his religious opinions. (Cheers.) He was for protection of the ballot and reform in the mode of Parliamentary election, and for the education of the people in every possible way. Mr. Ball resumed his seat amidst unanimous applause, and having answered several questions, Mr. T. Ross expressed his conviction that Mr. Bell's principles were those which were more likely than those of any other candidate to unite the liberal party of the borough in his support, and ho moved a resolution ac , cordingly Mr. W. D. COOPER seconded, and it was carried unani mously, amidst general applause. • On the motion of Mr. ROWLEY, seconded by Mr. PALLETT, a committee was appointed, with Mr. Church. warden Farrer as its chairman, to carry out the election of Mr. Bell. Mr. BELL having thanked the meeting, it separated after thanks to the Chairman. Last evening a meeting of electin-s favourable to the return of Viscount Ebrington took place at the Moreton Arms Tavern, Kentish-town ; F. T. Streetem, Esq., barrister at-law, in the chair. The CIiAIRMAY read a copy of the address issued by the noble viscount, and said that Lord Ebrington was now fairly before the electors, and, from the antecedents of the noble lord, be (the chairman) had no doubt that be was in a fair way to become their representative. Assurances of support bad poured in from all quarters, and he announced with feelings of the greatest gratifi cation that that tried political veteran, Sir John East hope, had consented to act as chairman to the central committee. (Loud cheers.) Mr. HOOPER said that the address of the noble lord was in accordance with his antecedents, manly, open, and straightforward, and concluded by moving a resolu tion pledging the meeting to support Lord Ebrington to the best of their power. The resolution was seconded by Mr. EWART, and car ried amidst loud applause. The meeting then separated. ABINGDON. The nomination for this borou g h is fixed for Mond a y n ext. The candidate s, Ma j or J. Ha y thorne Reed (Libe ral) and Mr. J. T. Norris (Liberal) are both confident of success, but the number of unpledged Conservatives makes the result a matter of uncertainty. However, a project pro m p tl y started and vigorousl y p ursued by thetl t:w gallant n gear ma tjltyir' immediately upon r.scerttini ng th a t needed a railway, of forming a branch into the line iroin Dideot to Biriningliani, has made him the popular candidate, and it is not improbable that this stroke will decide the election in his favour.

The following is the text of a note by: Count Nesselrode, respecting the contents of which specu lation has been for a time very busy. It is ad dressed to the Russian ambassador at the court of Berlin : St. Petersburg, Nov. G. M. le Baron,—lnformation which reaches us from various quarters proves that at the present moment nearly all the German Governments are possessed with a common fear, that of seeing a schism arise between the two great German powers respecting the affairs of the East, an event which might endanger the tranquillity of the common country, and even imperil the existence of the Germanic Confederation. Faithful to the policy which it has pursued from the commencement of this deplorable complication, and desiring to circumscribe its disastrous consequences within the narrowest "possible limits, the Emperor, our august master, has wished, in the present conjuncture, and% as fat as on hint depends, to preserve Germany from the curse which would menace it in such a case. _ _ You are, therefore, M. le Baron, to deolare to the Prussian Cabinet that the Emperor is disposed to take part in negotiations which should have for their object the re-establishment of peace, and for which the four propositions so forth below should serve as a starting point—namely:--- 1. The religious and civil rights of the Christian population subject to the Sultan, without distinction of rites, to be assured by the common guarantee of the Five Powers. 2. The Protectorate of the Principalities exercised in common by the Five Powers on the same conditions as our treaties with the Porte have stipulated in their Favour. 3. Revision of the treaty of 1841. Russia will not oppose its abolition, if the Sultan, the principal party concerned, consents to' it. 4. Freedom of navigation on the Danube, which exi:sts de jure, and which Russia never had the intention of obstructing. . This determination is founded, of course, on the sup position that the Western Powers will faithfully fulfil the engagement they have contracted in the face of Europe, to secure the future a:cal of the Christian populations of the Ottoman empire, that their religious and civil rights shall be placed henceforth under the guarantee of all the powers, and that thus the chief object Russia has in view in the present war shall be obtained. If the sentiments that have dictated the present decla ration to his Majesty the Emperor are appreciated in Germany, as - we are bound to suppose, we think we may indulge, in the hope that the Confederation, re united on the same ground, and completely re-assured as to the German interests engaged in the question, will profit by its unanimity to weigh in the balance of Europe in favour of a peace of which Austria and Prussia have presented to us, in the four points, a basis that will perfectly satisfy them. If, ou the contrary, this union, maintained once more by the care of Russia, has been desired to be used as a pretext for advancing fresh conditions, incompatible both in substance and form with her dignity, the Em peror has no doubt that the states of the confederation will repel such pretensions, whencesoever they may proeeed, as contrary to the loyal sentiments they are ani mated with, as likewise to the true interests of Ger many. The Emperor thinks that in return for the deference with which he has accepted the prayers addressed to him, he has a right in. all justice to demand of them a neutrality maintained with all firmness and perseverance, such as was proclaimed at the commencement of the present contest. Receive, &c., D. NESS ELR ODR. THE WOODEN HOUSES FOR TUE FRENCH TROOPS. The Emperor Napoleon has lately occupied himself a good deal with the question of providing wooden houses for the troops in the Crimea. Isis Majesty has discussed all the points relative thereto with the Minister of War and the chief of the engineering service. After examin ing different models of houses proposed, the Emperor has adopted one which is 84 metres in length, and 4 metres 80 c. wide, 3 metres high in the centre, a Id capable of accommodating 26 men. In the middle of the house runs a passage 1 in. 20 c. wide, and on each side of it are placed the camp beds ; each of the beds is 1 hi. 80 c., and above are shelves for placing the bread and haversacks of the men. Iu each gable-end there is a door, 80 c. wide and 1 in. 90 c. high, and it is sur mounted by a window, 45 c. high and 30 c. wide. Ti e houses can be easily constructed-20 carpenters erected one in three hours in the reserved garden of the Tui leries. At Toulon and Marseilles houses on nearly the same model are being rapidly constructed, and are being sent to the Crimea every day. Before the end of the month a sufficient number for the accommodation of 30,000 men will have been despatched. A great quantity of planks and pi eces o f woo d wor k d es ti ne for different purposes have also been sent from Marseilles and Toulon. In addition to the houses for the men, a great number are being constructed for the officers ; in them the walls are higher, the camp beds are done away with, and there are four windows in the facade instead of two in the gable-ends. Each officer's house is des tined to accommodate S lieutenants or sub-lieutenants, or 4 captains, or 2 superior officers, or 1 gene ral ;it can also serve as an ambulance. Moreover, wooden stables for 10,000 horses' are being constructed by a Paris carpenter on a model supplied by the Emperor. Each stable is to be 24m. 72c. long, sm. 60c. wide, and is to accommodate 48 horses. The internal' arrange ments are such that the horses can be d ul y attended to, and the men can mount immediately in case of alarm. sufficient number the whole, towards 15th January next a number of houses to lodge 3, 090 offi cers, 80,000 soldiers, and 10,000 horses will have rea ched the army inthe Crimea.

PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROM • SHIP TV.RECK.: Yesterday a meeting of the general committee of the Royal National Life-boat (late Shipwreck) Institution was held at the office of the institution, John-street, Adelphi, Mr. Thomas Chapman, F.R.S., in the chair. There were also present—Admiral Bowles, C. 8., Ad. miral Beechey, Mr. F. W. Ellis, RN., Mr. Montague Gore, Admiral Sir Tho►ras Herbert, M.P., Mr. Edward Hurry, Capt. M‘Hardy R.N., Capt. Lambert Perrott, Capt. Shepherd, 11.C.5., Deputy-Master of the Trinity-house, Capt. Washington, R.N., and Captain Ward, R.N., inspector of life-boats to the institution. Mr. LEWIS, the secretary, read the minutes of the previous meeting, Rewards for saving life from wreck!' were made. Among them were — The second service clasp to' Samuel Moody (who had on a previous occasion been presented with the medal of the institution), coxswain of the Skegness life-boat, in testimony of his gallantry in having with hie crew gone off in the said boat on the nightof the 18th October, to the rescue of the crew of the brig Atalanta, which came on shore near that place during a gale of wind. A tar barrel had been lighted on board the brig as a signal of distress, and although it was intensely dark and the storm raging high, Moody and his brave crew soon brought the boat alongside the wreck, and took off the entire crew, 9 men, and the master's wife and child, and safely brought them on shore. The crew received two guineas each for their services on the occasion from the Lincoln shire Shipwreck Association. Moody is an old man-of war's man, and is upwards of 70 years old. This life boat was presented.te the association by the above in stitution nearly 30 years ago, and has often been used in saving life. A reward of 561. was granted to the crews of the life boat of the institution stationed at Whitburn, in con sideration of their highly meritorious conduct in having gone off in the said boat eight times to rescue the crews of eight vessels, consisting of 59 men, which came on shore near Sunderland during the fTpeaahsrasftedulthgreaellecaotomifvmethitetteolesththoef ult., as was duly reporte d at th e time in The Sun. The following resolution was ltahtee LiftCaptaina a o n e b t y i t , u y i 0 .

A new life-boat was by the instituti on at reported to have been just placed 11,mlirer. Others were ordered to be built f.rtliwith for Robin Hood's Day and for Fish guard. A giant of 200/. w.is also ordered to be made in aid of building a new life-beat for South weld. The institution is using every ex ertion to carry out entrgetically it s sacred mission of saving poor creatures !roil perisnin , when shipwrecked ou our coasts, but we reg—etted to Aseive that this is only accomplished by a cot tinned drain on its small feuded capital, 3001. of wl ick had just been sold to meet its present heavy out lay. No institutions are more deserving, particularly at this stormy period of the 3 ear, of public support than the. above societies, which, we trust, will bo liberally ex tor.rled to them. It was reported that 103 wrecks oc , cur red during the past month, tit of which were total wry ;eks, from which many lives were lost, besides the crE ws of several boats, the numbers of which are also ur known. A young man, named Sonnelitter, of the commune , of liusserin (Haut-Rhin), who was in a few da3 'A to be mar 'ricd to a widow, last week blew out his bra is through res Test at having allowed matters to go so far. , f ._3~': 2,800 2,800 2,800 700 17,500 2,800 2MO 2,800 2,000 700 400 5,600 / De 10 eat oni of i cX led 591 I 21 i 79 8i lOUS .2i i ~s- f ~ 4
