RIMMELL'S PERFUMED ALMANAC.—M. Rimmell
has had the happy idea of publishing an almanac,
beautifully printed on a single card, the edges of
which are in imitation of lace pattern, and of having
this card almanac saturated with most delicious per-
fume, so that if placed in a writing-desk, the contents
of the desk imbibe from the almanac the most
delicious fragrance. Rimmell's perfumed almanac
is the prettiest cadeau that can be presented to a lady.
It should be found in every boudoir, and on the table
of every drawing room.
ERRATUM.—In our first leading article of Satur-
day, towards the close of the seventh sentence, instead
of saying of the late lamented Mr. Blake, that "he
was equally obnoxious to the designs of both Liberals
and Repealers"—it should have been "to the designs
of Ultra-Liberals and Repealers."

day morning the Lord Ma) or, Sir Janus aloof-

a beautiful specimen of Cactus Stephensonia in full
bloom on New Year's Day.—Durham Advertiser.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CI'Y, Q It7'El? TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was
quiet but firm, without alteration in prices. The sales,
01. which 1,000 were American on speculation, amounted
to 5;000 bales, including. 4,000 American at 31d. to
4;1d., 600 Egyptian at 51d. to 6/(1., and 200 Surat at
3d. to 3i(i. The market for Railway Shares was
strong and good, and prices of Stocks and Shares were
well maintained.

The accounts from the Continent are generally of a
favourable character in reference to mercantile matters,
and the smallness of the majority in the French Cham-
bers on the expedition from Toulon excites but little
attention. The circulation of the Societe Gel:locale and
the Bank of Belgium on the 10th inst. was 5,938,757 f.
The. Corn Market is much the same today as on
Monday last.
It may be somewhat interesting to our readers to place
the followini..; account of the gold country before them,
extracted from the Gazetteer, edited by R. Brookes,
M.D., and published in 1800:

"California is said to have been visited by Sir
Francis Drake in 1578, and was discovered by Cortes in
1536. During a long period California continued to be
so little frequented that even its form was unknown, and
in most charts it was represented as an island. During
the last century the Court of Madrid appointed Don
Joseph Galvcz CO visit this peninsula. His account of
the country was favourable; he tumid the pearl fishery on
its coat to be valuable, and he discovered mines of gold
of a very promising appearance. It is inhabited by va-
rious tribes, but acknowledges no head or chief; each
fathe r is a prince over his own family, &c."
Advices of November 30, from Pernambuco, state
that the province was tranquil. On England the ex-
change was 25d. Freights to Liverpool were at 11. 55.,
awl five per cent. for sugar, which, in cases, was quoted
600 to 700. At Itio, on the 24th of November, the rate
of exchange was 24(1. to 241. There were 51 vessels at
Pernambuco, s;x ot which were English.
The Stock Market is extremely firm again, and prices
are higher. Consols, which closed on Saturday at 8911,
are 'now quoted 89 Q. The New Three and a-Quarter
per Gems. have been 901 to 901. and the Three per
Cents. 89a s. Excheqaer- bills are 40s. to 435., and
India Mods 455. premium, being previous rates. The
books open to-morrow at the Bank of England for gene-
ral transfers, and the settlement of the account then takes
place. From the firmres ot Consols, it would appear
that the accourt is Bearish, but even were it otherwise,
such is the confidence telt, that loans upon stock are ob-
tainable with great facility. Money is cheap, though
the settlement ot three accounts in succession, viz., the
English, Foreign, and Share, causes temporarily more
demand.

The Foreign Market is extremely active, and there is
a further rise in the speculative bonds. Mexican have
been done at 26 and 262 fur money, and at 264 to i
for account. Peruvian Stuck has been done at 49, Equa-
dor at 3/ 1 Grenada at 161, Buenos Ayres at 28,
Brazilian at 762, Chilian Three per Cents, at 50, and
Venezuela Deterred at 62. Portuguese Old Bonds have
been at 71, and Spanish Five per Cents. at 154 to i. Dutch
r wu-an,i-a- Half per Cents. are 494 to i.
Railway Shares are looking much better, and a de-
cided improvement in the quota ions of all the principal
lines has occurred, with a large business doing.
