A letter from Tangiers, of the 27th ult., says—

" The son of the Emperor is at Fez, and endeavours
to counterbalance by preparations for war the deplora-
ble effect produced on the minds of the Arabs by the
defeat and death of Kaid el-Hamar. Already have a
thousand horse and fifteen pieces of cannon been ser.t to
Tazza to oppose Abd-el-Kader if he should assume the
offensive. But the general opinion is that the troops of
the Sultan will not dare to attack Abd-el-Kader, or that
if the chief commits that imprudence, the greater part of
the soldiers of Morocco will side with the Emir, whose
influence increases every day, and menaces the security
of the empire. The death of the kaid is thus related:—
He was surprised in his tent by Bou Hamedi, brother-in-
law of Abd-el-Kader. Some Moorish soldiers attempted
to defend him, and he, seizing his gun, fired at Bou
Hamedi, but missed him; Bou Hamedi then shot him down
with a pistol, and afterwards cut off his head with his
own hand. The Moorish soldiers, four hundred in
number, seeing their chief dead, demanded the aman,
and placed themselves its the service of Abd-el-Kader.
AU the Huff has revolted, and every one only waits until
the harvest shall be finished and put in a place of safety,
to enter into campaign, it Abd-el-Kader shall give the
signal. The harvest is very fine in all parts ; wheat,
which was worth 16 to 18 ounces the almud, has de-
scended to 7 or 8 ounces, and will decline still more
after the In‘rvesit."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, Qll A.RTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm.
Sales 10,000 bales, of which 4,500 were American on
speculation, a very large proportion, which shows the
clsposition to force up the price of the article, quite in-
dependent of demand. The transactions included 8,000
bales American, at bid. to 770., an i 1,000 Pernambuco.
at Sid. to Sid. Railway Shares were very flat, and but
a limited business was doing. Prices were firmer.
It is long since so painful a sensation has- been ex-
cited as by the disclosures of bribery and corruption at
Paris, and as the obtainment of concession! for public
companies, railways especially, has been a source of con-
siderable trouble to the directors of Anglo Trench
companies, it has been surmised that some of
the obstacles imposed may , have arisen from the
anticipation of douceurs which the English nego-
tiators were neither accustomed nor inclined to
give. Whether any actual overtures or promises
of concessions for a consideration were ever indirectly
male, we are not prepared to state, but possibly all the
corruption practised is not yet brought to light.
There has been some demand tor money in Stock Ex-
change circles within the last few days, owing to the
rather heavy accounts in progress of adjustment, and in
the general discount market capital is expected to be taken
up more frcely for the legitimate purposes of trade. With
respect to the large imports of grain, a good portion of the
amount, at least, must have been paid, according to the
practice abroad, before the corn was shipped, and this
should be taken into account in estimating our remain-
ing liability. The French loan may not, after all, re-
quire much of English capital, as it is not likely to be
very popular; and for the Spanish loan, we should think
no one here will be so silly as to embark therein.
The English Funds have had a firmer tone to-day, and
the Bear party are now said to have accounts still un-
settled, while the speculators for a rise are reported to
be nearly " even." Without professing any sympathy
for either party, we may remark that the market has
been kept down lately without any apparent justification,
and that, left to its own influence and favoured by fine
weather, there would be doubtless an improvement in the
quotations. Consols are now 88/ to 88:i for present trans-
