THE FUNDS, STOCK, AND SHARE MARKET,

The English Funds have improved per cent., the rumours
again rife of Austrian mediation having induced purchases.
Railways generally a shade firmer, but rather inactive. Land,
Bank, and Foreign Stocks showed an upward tendency.
Portuguese and Turkish Stocks were better.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1855-12-18

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

SPAlN.—General Falcon has been named Captain-General
of Arragon, in the place of General Gurreo. The sale of the
national property continues very actively. A royal decree sus-
pends the new elections for renewing the municipalities until
the adoption of a law on the subject. The Gazette, of the
Gth, says that the Government is aware that attempts were
being made to 'create disturbances in Catalonia, but that it
does not fear them.

AUSTRIA.—Tbe Austrian army, except the corps in the
Danubian Principalities, has been placed on a peace footing.
A reduction is to be made of 80,000 men. -It is said that
Count Corini, who is now at Vienna, will not return to
Bucharest, but that the command in the Principalities will be
conferred on another general. The export of horses, lead, salt-
petre, and sulphur to Russia and Turkey, with.the exception
of the Principalities, has been prohibited.
SWEDEN.—It is rumoured in Stockholm that preparations
are about to be made to mobilize an army by the spring, of
60,000 men. This news may appear doubtful, but it expresses
the public opinion on the subject. The mission of General
Canrobert still remains the sole subject of conversation in the
town and at eourt. Prince Charles, who is known to be one
of the most zealous supporters of the Western Powers, bad a
private interview with General Canrobert during his visit, at
which no aide-de-camp or other person was present. There
does not seem to be a doubt that Sweden will be compelled, in
the event of war continuing, to side actively with the Allies.

THE WAR.

THE intelligence which continues o drop in from the Cri-
mea, from time to time, brings us little or nothing in reference
to any movement which can throw the slightest light upon the

ultimate result of the war. The correspondence of the daily
journals Contains only details of preparations for the hibernal

quiet of the armies, mixed occasionally with reports of the amuse-
ments by which-the troops seek to beguile the all but idle
time thus unexpectedly thrown upon their hands. The wea-
ther, which for a long period had been fine in the extreme,
has at last broken into the fitful severity which harbingers
the Crimean winter; and so far as appearances go, according
to the latest advices, the information communicated for some
time to come will savour more of conflict with the elements than
be filled with tales of "blood and battle." In reference to the

dications. The electric telegraph has kindly aided him in
establishing himself all the more securely, for the rumour of
a Russian attack, to which it gave official weight, prevented
the occupation of Kaffa, and the destruction of Arabat this
autumn; and who can say how the country behind Theodosia
(Kaffa) will be seamed with batteries should we try a descent
next spring ?
6 p.m. The north batteries have been playing on
the south side, with little intermission, all day. This fore-
noon they opened a cannonade on the French near the little
Redan, from the 12-gun battery at Inkerman, and dispersed
some working parties, but did them no harm. They have
kept up a fire ever since at the rate of two guns a minute on
the town and on the docks ; and as they direct their fire on
the houses, it would seem as though they wished to knock
over those buildings which would afford cover to the allies.
Nevertheless, the working parties continue the process of de-
molition.

PROVISIONS.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 14.—We are still unable to report any im •
provement in the demand for beef; the sales' for the week past
are extremely limited, and quotations must be considered nominal.
An arrival of new, about 100 tierces, has been sold. Pork also is
neglected, but sellers of Irish are firmer, and some curers demand
a small advance. A few small parcels of bacon have arrived, and
are selling in retail lots. In the absence of stock the demand for
lard is limited, but holders are firm. A sale of about 120 tons to
arrive is reported, price not named. About 2,300 boxes of cheese
principally middling sorts, found buyers at auction, on Tuesday:
DEC. 17.—The butter market continues inactive; the business
transacted has been on a limited retail scale during the past fort-
night, and although the imports are somewhat falling off, the
stock here is on the increase, but as holders have appeared pretty
firm in asking full prices, no alteration can be made in quotations,
Waterford and Dungarvan, 107 s to 1108; Kilkenny, Carrick,
Wexford, Clonmel, and Carlow, 106 s to 109 s; Limerick, 97s to
103 s; and Sligo, 96s to 104 s per cwt. landed. Imported from
Ireland, from the Bth to the 14th instant, both inclusive, 9,138
firkins, 120 kegs, 352 crocks, 382 boxes, and 45 barrels butter;
167 bales bacon; 1 hhd. and 1 tierce hams; and 57 tierces and 42
kegs lard.

THE WAR.

Letters fto December 4th inclusive have arrived.
Russians fired more than usual upon the town. There was
no change in-their attitude. There had been some rain, and
mud was deep:a over the camp.

Another letter, dated the Bth, says that a dreaeful gale
passed over the -camp on the night of the 7th; many huts
and tents were.hlown down.

THE PEACE PROPOSITIONS.

The Times Paris correspondent states that the present
moment for Count Ezterhazy's opening his negotiations with
the Cabinet of St. Petersburg is considered very good. It is
:the opinion of well-informed men that, in the event of Russia
rejecting every proposition, that Austria will present an
Ultimatum, and it would not be surprising if the general
teams of that eventual communication were already agreed
upon between the Cabinets .of Vienna, Paris, and London.

CATTLE.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 17.—We had a large show of stock to-day,
comprising some of very excellent quality, which brought fun
prices, and for some of the best more money was obtained than
of late. For the middling descriptions we can quote no change
in value, and rough, of which there was a large proportion, sold
very slowly and at lower prices, with many of that sort left un-
sold. Beasts, 3,008; sheep, 11,736.

SALFORD, DEC. 12.—Their being-a
fair show of cattle, prices
ruled as last week. A good clearance effected. Beat beef, 6d to
6d; middling, 5d to sid ; cows, 4d to sid ; beat wedders, 6d to
; heavy weights, 5d to sad ; ewes, 4d to sid. Number of
beasts, 1,275; sheep, 6,176; calves, 131.

DUBLIN, DEC. 13.—This being the large market preparatory
to Christmas, and forwarding to England, the supply was larger
than we remember, the approaches being full of stock. Top
qualities of cattle and sheep sold at the extreme prices we have
hitherto quoted, in lots 60s to 635, and for single cattle a shade
higher; 7d per lb. was also given for best mutton. Middling,
but especially inferior, were, however, neglected, and stood over
later than usual, in many instances unsold. Beef for slaughter,
44s to 465, or 34s to 35s per cwt, net, about aid per lb ; middling,
50s per cwt. upwards, in sink ; veal, lid per lb. Pigs in request
for the English market, at a small advance, 42s to 445; single
pigs, 48s per cwt.

FEMALE COMPLAINTS.-OREAT CURE OF NERVOUSNESS.

London, June 10, 1852.
Gentlemen,—My wife has been long afflicted with a nervous
complaint, from which she suffered severely. Able physicians and
many remedies were tried in vain, but I am happy to inform you
that she has entirely recovered by using a few bottles of Old Dr.
Townsend's Sarsaparilla. J. R. PETERSON.
Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co.

PIMPLES, BLOTCHES, ERUPTIONS, R.C.
The same may be said of these as in the cure of the severer
chronic maladies ; the Sarsaparilla and the Ointment will effec-
tually wipe off all disagreeable eruptions, and render the surface
clear and beautiful. Ladies troubled with rough, pimply skin, or
a gross, masculine surface, will do well to use these Medicines, if
they wish clear, delicate, and transparent complexions. Nothing
can exceed their efficacy in this respect.

KINBURN,

A letter from Kinburn, of the 27th ult., in the Presse
d'Orient, says—"We are busily occupied in putting our
quarters into comfortable condition for the winter, as the
cold begins to be pretty sharp. The sea is covered with float-
ing ice, and the vessels at anchor off Otchakoff have their
lower rigging and sides covered with icicles. When the five
or six buildings within the fort shall have undergone the
most ardent repairs, we shall be pretty well quartered. I
speak of the officers and employes of the administration ; as
to the soldiers, enumber of them are lodged in the casemates ;
one battalion occupies the village, about ten minutes' distance
from the fort, and the remainder are under canvas. As, how-
ever, all are well supplied with warm clothing and camp equi-
pages of all kinds, those even who are the worst off will be
able to brave the rigours of the season. We are expecting
twenty wooden huts from Kamiesch, which will each contain
thirty men. Gulls, duck, and other water fowl are abundant
and are easily shot, but unfortunately many of them when
killed are lost for want of dogs to fetch them out of the water.
The gulls which are good for nothing in the Mediterranean
are very delicate eating here. I have them several times a
week. A good dog would be worth its weight in gold to us.

LIVERPOOL TOWN COUNCIL.

AN adjourned meeting of the Council was held on Wednes•
day, the Mayor t John giewatt, Esq!,) presiding.
The proceedings of the Markets Committee were read and
confirmed without remark.

EDUCATION COMMITTEE.

The proceedings of this committee were read, and Mr. Miff-
NER, in moving their confirmation, informed the meeting that
the examination of the children would take place at the North
School, on Monday, and at the Scuth School on Tuesday.
The proceedings were then confirmed.

TOWN-HALL ESTABLISHMENT COMMITTEE.

The proceedings- included a recommendation to appoint
William Evans to the situation of hall•porter, at the salary
paid to his predecessor.
Mr. FERNIITOTIGIT objected to the recommendation, on the
ground that the appointment of a stranger over the heads" of
the old servants of the Corporation unfairly interfered with
their reasonable expectation of promotion, and he thought
Gerard should have had the place. He moved that this part of
the proceedings be not confirmed.
Mr. WAGSTAFF seconded the amendment.
On a division, the amendment was rejected by 10 to 14,
and the proceedings of the committee were confirmed.

HEAtTIi COMMITTEE.

The proceedings included a recommendation " to rate to
the several rates, under the sanatory acts, those owners of
property who had refused to enter into composition for the
payment of these rates." This recommendation was adopted.
After some observations from Mr. Dovzu, Mr. COOPER, and
other gentlemen, the TOWN-CLERS explained that the Council
were obliged to compound if the owners chose to do it, and
they were equally bound to rate those owners who neglected
or refused to enter into composition within the time pre-
scribed.

On the motion that the general proceedings be confirmed,
Mr. DOVER called attention to the urgent necessity which
existed for re-numbering the streets. The Health Committee
were anxious that the Council should impress on the Finance
Committee the importance of giving them authority to pro-
ceed with the work at once,.

After some conversation, the TOWS-CLEUIC explained that,
it the Health Committee passed a resolution, asking permis-
sion to proceed with the numbering immediately, and the
Council confirmed that resolution, the Finance Committee
would• have no discretion but to• order payment of the ex-
pense:.. . .

THE WAR.

Letters to December 4th inclusive have arrived. The
Russians fired more than usual upon the town. There was
no change in their attitude. There had been some rain, and
mud was deep all over the camp.

Another letter, dated the Bth, says that a dreaeful gale
passed over the camp on the night of the 7th ; many huts
And tents were blown down.

THE PEACE PROPOSITIONS.

'Me Times Paris correspondent states that the present
moment for Count Esterhazy's opening his negotiations with
the •Cabinet of St. Petersburg is considered very good. It is
-the.opinion of well-informed men that, in the event of Russia
Tejectiag every proposition, that Austria will present an
ultimatum, and it would not be surprising if the general
terms ,of that eventual communication were already agreed
upon between the Cabinets of Vienna, Paris, and London.
