86 inches, which would give a space of 17 inches for each

The finds today were rather dull, but the closing
prime were equal to the quotations current at 4

savable, the sues cautious operettas foe higher

gather this was a very dull day in the Stock
Exchange. In few cases, however, was there any
material variation from the advanced rates lately
established. The favourable Bank return had been
anticipated, but tended to confirm a feeling of cond.
denim, which is also stimulated by the belief that the
improvement in the French money market is likewise
making progress.

SPAIN.

The papers give some accounts of the combat be-
tween the Spaniards and Moors at Melilla, which hes
been mentioned by telegraph. It appears that being
constantly menaced by what is called a Kabyla, or
tribe of Moore, that of Benisided, though on good
teems with tour other Sabyles in the neighbourhood,
the Spanish garrison of Melilla made a sortie on the
9th to the ■umber of 00 moo, divided into three
columns, and furiously attacked the Moors, who occe•
pied positions called by the Spaniards Sicor Fastens,
ltojo, San Francisco, and La llorca 1 and a desperate
hand-to-hand conflict canoed. At length the Spa-
niards, being greatly outnumbered, had to return to
the garrison, with a lose of 19 killed and 70 wounded.
That of the Moore was, says the official journal, much
greater, and one of the papers dlolares that it wss
66 killed and 47 wounded.
