THR Xilitrpoat .ztattbarb+ SECOND EDITION. STANDARD-OFFICE, DEC. 4, TEN [By ELECTRIC & INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPH.] LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING. Owing to the receipt of very favourable accounts from the Paris Bourse, together with a further decline on the Corn Exchange and the prospect of some of the recently arrived Australian gold being taken to the Bank of England, the market, at the close, presented a strong appearance. The operations of the day were rather numerous, and the rate for loans on Government Securities was about 5 per cent. In Paris on Monday Funds closed 67f. for money, and 67.50 for the end of the month, being a sudden rise of nearly per cent. Exchange continued firmly maintained. All the available bills on London being still bought up for transmis sion against Australian gold. At Hamburg money has become comparatively easy at 6 per cent. About £60,000 of Russian imperials had arrived, and had been forthwith purchased for Paris. About £BO,OOO of the Australian gold, by the Oliver Lang, has been sold to the Bank of England ; and it is ex pected that a considerable portion of the amount brought by the Kent will be taken there to-day. The Times, alluding to our relations with the United - States, is happy to believe that the transitory difference leaves our American critics better disposed towards us than it found them. THE WAR-. PARIS, Monday.—General Canrobert arrived here last night from his mission to the Scandinavian Courts. No later Crimean news St. Petersburg letters of the 25th Nov. state, that the Neva was full of ice, and that a heavy fall of snow had occurred during the preceding night. At Riga, on the 26th of Novem ber, passengers could walk across the frozen river. GENERAL WILLIAMS STILL IN DANGER. The Morning Advertiser is assured that, notwithstanding all we have heard of late of the raising of the siege of Kars, and the consequent safety of General Williams, that officer was at the date of the last despatches from Kars in the most imminent danger. OUR TERMS OF PEACE. The Morning Post, i.i a conspicuous leader, says the ques tion of peace can only be treated in one manner. There is but one arrangement possible, and that is one which shall ensure the limitation of Russian ambition, the freedom of Turkey, and the future security of Europe. Sebastopol must never rise again as a menace to the Turks, nor must any Rus sian fleet whatever be allowed to exist in the waters of the Blaok Sea. This is imperative. The mouths of the Danube must be given up, and they, with the Danubian Principalities freed from her protectorate, must be secured to Turkey by the most binding guarantee. All pretensions and interference with the subjects.of the Porte must be fully renounced, and other arrangements with regard to the Baltic and the general interest of Europe must be accepted by Russia on terms which can leave no doubt as to the certain solidity and efficacy of the peace which may be brought about. These are the outlines of the only terms of peace which would achieve our objects— the only propositions which the Western Powers would be justified in listening to, certain as they are that, if not consented to now, another campaign would enforce compliance. If the move which Austria is making towards negoti ttions have for its object the attainment of terms so satisfactory as these, and if she be as ready as Sweden and Denmark to give their verdict in our favour, and when need arises to enforce that verdict, then are the Western Powers bound to give heed to overtures which carry on their face no uncertain semblance, no diplomatic chicanery, but which are open, distinct, and honest. THIRD EDITION. STANDARD-OFFICE, DEC. 4, Two, P.X. LIVERPOOL BORN MARKET.-THIS DAY. A favourable change of wind has brought in a few vessels ; but the bulk which still remains outside may probably appear in the course of the week. Six ships with grain have arrived from New York since Thursday, but as yet the cargoes of only two have been reported ; in other respects our general arrivals for the week are but moderate, except of Irish Oatmeal, the quantity of which exceeds 15,000 loads. The American ac counts bring higher rates, with a moderate quantity of Wheat and Flour shipping to Great Britain, and scarcely any Indian Corn. The reports as to condition of this new crop of the last named article are unfavourable to the prospect of shipments with safety before the spring of next year. New York quo tations, combined with freights, make up a cost, for the leading articles of export, about the same as the duty paid prices in store here, thus still chewing the margin considerably on the wrong side. The trade here has moved slowly since our last inarko, with little more than nominal currencies for new Wheats and Flour; old English and foreign Wheats have commanded full prices with steady sales to some extent, and Indian Corn has again received an impetus from the anticipated paucity of American supplies, as much as 465. 6d. to 465. 9d. having been yesterday on the spot for good American mixed parcels. The market to-day was very quiet, there being a strong indisposition to purchase for more than immediate necessity, and Wheat and Flour may be quoted the turn in favour of the buyer. Oatmeal was quite neglected. Indian Corn main tains Friday's prices. In other articles very little doing, and no change in quotations. LIVBRPOOL : Printed and published by P.
