appearance of A2D•EL-KADER in considerable force
in the neighbourhood of Mascara is confirmed. The
Ministers it is said have received some very serious in-
formation on the subject. Both the Siècle and the
Commerce express their approval of the Bill for re-
forming the Tariff, as a step in the right direction.
The Education Bill, which has just been printed,
gives great offence to all parties in France. The
effect of this measure, if carried, will be to transfer
all power of controlling education to the Jesuits, and
to submit the university professors and the heads of
schools to the priests, by a system of grinding
tyranny and debasing espionage, to which no
honourable, liberal-minded, or well-educated man will
submit. It is just such a measure as might have been
expected from the Villcle or the. Polignac Ministry
of the restoration, but certainly no one expected to
see the revolution of July producing such fruits.
The opposition to the Bill will be most formidable,
and there is every probability that the Ministry will be
defeated.

Accounts were said to have reached Paris on
Tuesday, that the tempestuous and otherwise incle-
ment weather, encountered by Mr. O'CONNELL on his
route southwards, W:l3 continuing to produce upon him
unfavourable effects. For example, when in Paris
his appetite was excellent ; those letters were said to
state, among other unpleasant symptoms, that it had
been much impaired.

The French Funds improved on Tuesday. Early in
the day a favourable tendency was perceptible in
the transactions of " the coulisse." When business
commenced regularly this icclination became more
decided, and the Three per Cents. rose to 78f. It
was then reported that a new fall of I per cent.
took place in London on Monday, which caused
prices to recede-that of the Three per Cents. to 77f.
70c. Another rumour stated, however, that Con-
sols had, on the contrary, risen I per cent. in London.
A new reaction took place in consequence, and that
stock left off at 77f. 953. (buyert) ; the Five per Cents.
115 f. 80c. ; the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,222 f,
50c.; Rouen, 880 f. ; Havre, 668 f. 75c. ; Great

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CI7 Y, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000
bales, 1,000 bales being American, taken on speculation.
The market was dull, though at about previous rates.
American realised 65d. to 75d. per lb. In Railway
Shares the business done was limited, and prices did nut
exhibit any improvement.
We have no account yet of the steamer from Halifax.
Money in the discount market is worth about 55 to
55 per cent. on good bills, short dates having still a very
decided preference. It is not expected that the directors
of the Bauk of England will yet further advance their
terms for accommodation, as they limit it even at the
comparatively high rate recently established. An im-
portant work at the present juncture, " Doubleday's
Financial History of England," shows that in the
earliest career of the establishment tht-re was consid,r-
able variation in its terms of discount. The authorremarks :
"On its commencing business, the Bank seems to
have charged the highest legal rate et interest, 6 per
cent. upon all bills discounted, whether foreign, or
inland, or home bills. In a few days, however, it ap-
pcars to have been found politic to reduce the rate of
discount upon foreign bills to 44 per cent. In 1695, in
January, in order to increase the business of the con •
seen, another course was adopted. Foreign bills, except
ing at short dates, were again discounted at the rate of
6 per cent., and inland or home hills at 45 per cent. ;
but is persons who would keep an account with the Ba-k,
an inducement was hai nut for dying so, in the shape
of a reduction to such persons of half the discount on
foreign bills, the rate of which was thus, in these cases,
reduced as low as 3 per cent.—a novel rate in these
days ! In the following May, despite of these relaxa-
tion:, the Governor and Company' seem to have
been drivels to further expedients ; arid, for a time,
all short-dated running bills or notes were takoi for
discount at the novel rate ut 3 per cent.; and not con-
tent with this, the Court of Directors gave notice of
their readiness 'to lend money ;' that is to say, their
notes, upon plate, lead, tin, copper, steel, and iron,' at
4 per cent. per. annum."
These changes wete even more frequent than at pre-
sent, but the power of the Threadneetle-street magnates
was then limited indeed, either for good or esil, coin •
pared to what it is now.
The Funds are not FO wi ll supported as they were
yesterday, but business is slack. Consols are 865 4 for
present transfer, and 864 to 875 for the May Account.
Exchequt-r-bills have been par to 3s. discount. Bank
Stock has been quoted 195 to 1935. 'the New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 875 to 5.
Very little alteration has occurred in Foreign Stocks,
but prices are as well supported as could be expected.
Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked 258 5, and
the Three per Cents. 36 to 364. Portuguese Four per
Cents. have been quoted 354 to ; 354 Mexican Bonds
have been done at 205 to 21 ; Dutch- Two-atid• a-Half
per Cents. have been at 585, and the Four per Cents. at
90 to 895.
Railway Shares are quiet at present.
The settlement of the Consul Account, and the Foreign
and Share Account, coming so near together, engage chief
attention.
