DECEMBER 12, 1848,

in that sympathy he participated ; but that the Re-
gent's Cabinet declined to interfere in the matter.
Permission was then granted by the Assembly,
after a tiresome discussion, for the prosecution of
some of its Members, against whom the tribunals
could not proceed until their " privilege of Parlia-
ment" was withdrawn.

The parties thus abandoned to the jurisdiction of
the country consist of GUNTLEB, the cblieague of the
late M. BLUM in the editorship of a paper called the
Reichstag Zeitung ; the editor, not named, of a cer-
tain Conservative paper, for libel ; and a Jewish
bookseller (one LEwYsouN), for high treason.
A motion&by M. RliuL for the dissolution of the
Assembly was negatived.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
firm; sales 6,000 bale:.—Hailway Shares bore an im-
proved value in many instances.
More attention is at present directed to the progress
of events in France than anywhere else, and there is
still an impression that Louis Napoleon will be elected.
His party, however, being the most noisy, may rather
mislead.

The Hamburgh advices quote the exchange on Lon-
don without alteration, viz., 13.9, andithe same features
existed as before, viz., abundance of money, and a good
market for stocks and shares. In Saxony, and other
parts of Germany, manufacturing operations are being
gradually resumed, and there are strong hopes expressed
by parties writing thence that business affairs will be-
come more prosperous. _ _ _

. .
South Australian accounts, of July 19, have been re-
ceived. The colonists were as active as ever in woi king
the different mines.

The Stock Market is very buoyant again to-day, and
the dealings have been at the highest quotations of yes-
terday. The " contango" has been maintained, but this
may arise from delay on the part of those who should
earlier have arranged their accounts. Consols have
realised 874 and 88i for Transfer, and 88 to 881 for
Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 864 to 87i, and the Three per Cents. 861 to
864. Bank Stock has been done at 1891 to 191, being a
further rise. Exchequer-bills are 39a. to 425. premium.
It would appear from the condition in which the market
now is, that the public are disposed to " shut" with
stock on their hands, and that in this way the amount
pressed on the market by the Government and one or two
other brokers has been readily absorbed.
In the Foreign Market Mexican Bonds have again
been most in favour, and have realised 224 to 2* Peru-
vian Bonds have improved to 391-, and Brazilian to 74k.
Portuguese Four per Cents. are 244 and quiet. Spanish
Three per Cents. realise 25i 4. Dutch Two-and-
Half per Cents. have been 47-a Russian Stock is
worth 102.

Railway Shares have been all in steady demand again
to-day, and fuller prices are generally required where
purchases are made.
The following comparison will give an idea of the re-
lative position of the market:--

The above will show that in many instances prices
are not even yet restored to the position which the) oc-
cupied a month since, indifferent as that was esteemed,
and consequently for a further improvement there is
ample room.
