and. details the internal and exiepal policy of the Cabinet.
No"doubt can arise in the public mind as to the Chambers'
judgment on it. It is but for the sake of the public service
that we demand the extraordinary credit of which the votes
of the Chambers have, for fifteen rears past, always pro-
claimed the necessity."

The Minister of War presented a Bill for opening an ex-
traordinary credit of 24,000,000 on the estimates of 1845 and
1846 for the service of Algeria. The Chamber then pro-
ceeded to discuss a Bill for preventing the adulteration of
wine, which it appears is carried on to an enormous extent,
throughout France, but more especially at Paris.
The Journal des Debats confirms the report which
appeared in The Run yesterday, that the Duke D'AmiLic
was to set out without delay for Algiers. A letter from that
place, which appears in the Presse, says—" A great morta-
lity prevails at present amongst our soldiers in the three pro-
vinces of Algiers, Oran, and Constantine. The hospitals are
crowded, and, if we are well informed, upwards of 600 men
have fallen victims to fever or dysentery, in the province Of
Algiers alone, during the month of December. Add to that
the disasters that have occurred in the province of Constan-
tine, and the excessive fatigues of the last campaign in the
west, and the moral discouragement of our soldiers may be
imagined."

Atelegraphie dispatch received at Paris announces the
arrival of the Indian mail at Marseilles, on Monday morning,
at nine o'clock—all safe.
On the Paris Bourse it was generally understood thst it is in con-
templation by the Minister of Finance to bring in a Bill to compel
parties who have caution money to lodge with the Government, on
any occasion where such a proceeding may be necessary, to make
that deposit in stock instead of cash ; the result has been a consider-
able advance, Three per Cents. closing at 84f. 75c., and Five per
Cents., at 123 f. 75c. for the end of the month. The market closed
as follows :—Three per Cents., for cash, 84f. 75c. ; for Account,
74f. 75c. ; Five per Cents., for cash, 1231. 50c. ; for Account, 123 f.
nsc. ; Bank of France Shares. 3,440 f. ; Neapolitan, 101 f. 755. Spa-
7ish and New Loan, not quoted.
The Railway Share-market was less firm, and all the leading lines
left off at a reduction. For cash, Paris and Orleans were last called
at 1,2851. ; Paris and Rouen, 1,007 f. 50c. ; Rouen and Havre,
707 f. 50c. ; Avignon, 982 f. 50c.; Vierzon, 700 f.; Strasburg and

DeflnitiVes were more in request, and Tours and Nantes were
improved 15f., closing at 595 f. The other lines are also quoted a
shade higher. Lyons, 617 f. 40e. ; Strasburg, 517 f. 50e.; Avignon, 560 f.

WF.STMINSTER ELEcrion.—lt will be seen from the report
of a meeting, held last evening, that Sir De Lacy Evans
comes forward to dispute the borough with Captain Eons.
In a paragraph which appeared in The Sun of yesterday, we
expressed a hope that no opposition would be made
at present to the Gallant Captain, as he was a de-
termined supporter of Sir Robert Peel's measures,
so generally approved by the whole Liberal party, and we
see no reason to change our opinion. We undefstand that
the electors who attended the meeting were not unanimous
in recommending Sir De Lacy Evans to force on a contest
under these peculiar circumstances, and we have heard also
that the monopolists who wish to see the new tariff rejected,
are resolved to support a candidate opposed in every respect to
their views. They will, in fact, vote fer Evans, in order to
turn out lions and annoy the Minister. We believe
Sir De Lacy Evans, from his high character and his liberal
politics, would be ashamed of every vote given from
such unworthy and debasing motives. When the
proper time comes, let him stand on his own merits;
he will then be able to carry his election without such
meretricious aid, and will find ne journal more ready to sup-
port him than The Sun. Any attempt of the kind at present,
we fear, would injure the Government without benefiting
the Liberal party. In addition to these reasons, Captain
Eons will be of great use in the Admiralty. He is bent on
reforming our present defective naval system; he will, in fact,
give new life to that department, if we are to place confidence
in repeated statements, and bis rejection at present therefore,
when so much is to be done in that respect, would be a grtat
loss.

We understand that Mr. Tufuell, brother of the Mem-
ber for Devonport, has resigned his office of Assistant Poor-
law Commissioner, on the ground of general dissatisfaction
with the present Commissioners, whose treatment of. Mr.
Parker is to be the subject of a motion for inquiry in the
House of Commons this evening.

ELECTION MOVEMENTS.—Mr. Hildyard, a Notting-
hamshire gentleman, is in the field for South Nottingham-
shire, as a " protectionist," in opposition to the Earl of Lin-
coln. Nothing yesterday (Wednesday) was known as to
who would come forward for the division of North Notting-
hamshire, in the room of the late Mr. H. G. Knight.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,500
bales, including 400 on speculation. The market was very
quiet. Shares were rather inactive, and prices without any
material change.
It seems to be a question of more importance to our West
India Colonies even than to other parts of the world, that
railroad communication should be established in them ;
because such a mode of communication would favour the
establishment of extensive works for the manufacture of
sugar, and promote the economical obtainment of the
sacharine matter. Certainly no private individuals could
establish such works, though all could convey the cane by
railway to them.
The following from Jamaica will give a better idea of the
subject :—" When some months ago, referring to the probable
advantages to result from the establishment of railway com-
munication in this island, we expressed a firm conviction
that among the earliest fruits of the introduction of such a
system would be the separation of the manufacturing from
the cultivating process of Sugar production, we scarcely be-
lieved so valuable an improvement was so nigh at hand.
" Already we have heard of more than one suggestion for
the establishment of central factories in densely cultivated
districts, but only one of these schemes has yet appeared
in a tangible form, and to this project, as one calculated to
afford a highly advantageous means of investment to the
capiplist, as well as vast benefit, and accommodation to the
agriculturist whose property may lie within the scope of its
operations, we feel most anxious to direct the attention of
moneyed men in England as well as in this island. We
allude to the project of which notice was given on
Monday night by Mr. Franklin, the Honourable
Member for Metcalfe, for an early day in the next
session, having for its object the incorporation of a company,
on the petition of Alexander Gordon Fyfe, Esq., and others
for the establishment of a central sugar manufactory at Annotto
Bay, and for the laying down of tram roads of communica- '
tioa between the town and the various estates which con-
verge towards that centre. The details of the scheme corn-
bine other objects which offer great advantages to those who
may embark their capital in it. It is proposed in addi-
tion to the establishment of a sugar factory upon a principle
embodying all the improvements of modern science to erect
a steam saw-mill, by which the valuable timbers which
abound in the dense forests of the interior of the parish may
be worked up into materials for general purposes, and the
large importations of timber. from the United States be thus
superseded by a far better material of island growth. From
this latter department of the Company's operations, also,
staves of domestic manufacture and of unsurpassed excellence
will be obtained, so that the Company will be enabled to
supply the casks for shipment of the produce which they
manufacture at a cheap rate, whilst they will add anotber
item to their account of profits."
These are the plans of colonies, too. which were to be
ruined by the encouragement of competition in the sugar
market of the mother country.
There is no appearance of liveliness in the City to- day. A
moderate business is doing in a few staples not likely to be
affected by the new tariff.
The English Stock Market is-in a dull state this morning,
and the operations present no features of the least general
interest. Consols for present transfer have been 96% to %,
being 14 per cent. lower again than yesterday. For Time
the quotations have been 96% 3/4. The premium on Ex-
chequer-bills bare been 375. to 408. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. are 99% to 98%. Bank Stock is not higher
than 207%.
The Foreign Bonds have been livelier, but without any
general advance in values. Mexican stock has been quoted
30% ; Grenada has improved to 22% and 23% ; Chilian De-
ferred is 52%; and Portuguese Three per Cents. are 59%;
French Five per Cent. Rentes have been 123 f. ; Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. are 601/s to 60%.
Railway Shares maintain their value this morning,
although there is not much doing in them. -
