SECOND EDITION.

NORTHERN TIMES OFFICE; MONDAY, 9 A.M

HUNGARY.

The Archduke Albert of Austria, Governor-General
of Hungary, has issued a proclamation stating that
the Emperor has invited him to proceed to the
formation of volunteer battalions and squadrons,
having the greatest reliance on the faithful Hun-
garian people.

T-

CAMPAIGN IN PIEDMONT.

The Times says

"All that the news from the seat of war up to
last night (Sunday) amounts to is, that the
Austrians are marching and connter-marching
on the northern bank of the Po, that they are
occupying and intrenching themselves on the
Sesia, and that they have withdrawn those troops
whose position upon the right flank of the French
seemed likely to bring on a collision near the plain
of Marengo. These small manoeuvres are capable of
various intepretations, and military critics are
divided as to whether the Austrians are concentra-
ting their forces for a great effort, or cautiously with-
drawing in retreat. When the Emperor Napoleon
111. reaches Genoa we must expect that it will be
to inaugurate his military career by sonic great
movement decisive of the conflict he has provoked."

1876.
DERBYeHIRE SOUTH.—Evans, 3528 ; Vernon, 3187
Mundy, 3162.
The above return is from Mundy's committee. Further
return gives the number as follows :—Mundy, 3190 ; Ver-
non, 3180. . .

The total number of members returned now amounts to
586.
The Daily News classifies them as follows : —Liberals,
324 ; Conservatives, 262. -The same journal complains that
the contests, both in boroughs and counties, have been mis-
managed; that to gain a majority was not the only object,
and that the managers of these contests had equally at
heart to break down the independent Liberal party in the
House of Commons.
The Times estimates that, when the new House is com-
plete, the total amount of the ministerial gains will be
twenty seats, which, though counting forty in a division,
will by no means be sufficient to give the Government a
working majority.
The Times asserts that in South Lancashire the influence
of the Roman Catholic clergy have been thrown into the
Tory scale. The severe contest at Manchester, and the
success of Mr. Massey at Salford, are ascribed to the dislike
of the Manchester Reform Association.

Mr. William Forsyth, Q.C., of the Northern Circuit, has
been appointed standing counsel to the Secretary of State
in Council for India.

COMMERCIAL.

Throughout the Stock Exchange the feeling to-day was
more cheerful. The Funds exhibit a fresh rise of nearly
per cent. Most of the English Railway Stocks have
recovered 4 to 1 per cent. The demand for money at the
Bank to-day was rather active, but not pressing. In
Lombard-street the business was only moderate. The drain
of gold from the Bank continues. The amount withdrawn
this day was £92,000. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent.
Rentes closed at an improvement of about R per cent. It
is said that the Government is supporting the Bourse,
in order to facilitate the issue of the new loan.
The fact that the French Markets has twenty millions of
pounds of new Stock hanging over, ought to render Consuls
almost insensible to its variations. The British Three per
Cents are now quoted 30 per cent. higher than the French
Three per Cents. The returns of the leading French
Railways exhibit a considerable increase, owing to the
transport of troops and munitions of war. The increase in
the receipts of the Paris Lyons and Mediterranean Co., for
the last week, was £20,000 compared with the previous
week.—. Daily News City Article, Saturday Evening,
There has been very little business in the Stock Exchange
to-day, and, in the confirmed absence of political news from
the seat of war or elsewhere, prices have shown comparative
firmness. The adjustment of the account has been com-
pleted, but there are about 22 membOrs who have not as
yet paid their Consol differences in full. Money continues
in good demand at the Bank minimum. The government
broker continues his purchases on account of the Savings'
Bank. Possibly the check that will be given by the war
to many brandies of employment, coupled with the sudden
advance in the price of bread and other articles, may not
merely stop the accumulation of these funds, hut lead to
withdrawals, in which case the old evil will be repeated of
the government having, when prices are low, to realise the
...
investments they have effected throughout on a rising
market. Mnes City
