garrisons of Northern Syria, under Achmet Pacha, forming
together a corps of 20,000 men, well provided with artil-
lery, had marched from Alcppi to Dantaceu:;,. iii cruet
to join Ibrahim. On the 26th, the Turkish Com-
mander-in-Chief, on hearing that tile latter was
preparing to effect his retreat across the desert, detached
several corps to observe his movements and at the same
time to protect the inhabitants of the southern pachalies,
who had made their submission to the Sultan. A brigade
of the Imperial Guard was sent to Jaffa for the purpos.,
and other troops had been stationed at Jerusalem and
Gaza. The Egytian garrison evacuated Aleppo on the

grade movement from Damaseus on the 30th of Novem-
b. r. Ibrahim had still 130 pieces of artillery. He ex-
pected to reach El Arish on the 18th of December.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS

CITY, MONDAY EVENING.

There was very little difficulty experienced in meet-
ing the large payments falling due on mercantile accept.
ances as usual on the 4,th of the month, and the funds
were not at all afrect:d by the circumstance. Oa the
contrary, they were steady, it not buoyant all day. Con-
sols for the opening rose from 881 and 89, the range of
Saturday, to 89,i and 89, closing at 894 ; Exchequer
bills wave a shade better. viz., 8 to 7 premium, but
India Bonds were not higher than 14 to 10 discount.
The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. obtained
'97 to the Three per Cent. Annuities 89i to and
the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 08 to 97g.
The Foreign Market was rather dull, and generally
prices had a downward tendency. The business don..
however, was but trivial. The Active Spanish Bonds were
again rather neglected at 25 to 24i for immediate trans-
fer, and at 24i- to 251 for the Account ; being, however,
a slight improvement on Saturday's rates. Portuguese
new Five per Cents. were dull, in the absence of any
later news from Lisbon, at 32} to 1, ; and the Five per
Cents. of 1836 at 421-. Colombian Six per Cents. of
1824 were flat, at a decline from 24 to 23 Brazti
Stock was neglected at 71, Belgian Bonds at 98, are!
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 50 ex-dividend.
Russian Stock was firm, at 113.
The market for Railway Shares has been tolerably
animated to-day, and prices generally have been fully
supported. We must, however, except from the re-
mark the Brighton line, which declined in value this af-
ternoon, in consequence of a report that an accident
had occurred to one of the trains. The more current
quotations this afternoon were these :—London aiid
Blackwell, 4 ; Brighton, 5i ; Greenwich, ; Croy -
don, I 1 ; North Midland, 19 ; Ditto, New, ; Bir-
mingham and Derby, 24 ; Bristol and Exeter, 22 ; and
Hull and Selby, 6}, disc. The Great Western Shares
were 28 ; the New, 13 ; the Fifths, 7i ; the South
Western, 182- ; the New Manchester and Leeds, 6 ;
and the York and North Midland, 19 prem.
Nothing was done in Banking Shares.

9,871 tons ; in 1839,7,447 tons ; in 1840, 12,575 tons ;

animated in the National Funds, but the prices in general
were firm. In Ardoin's Spanish a good deal was done ;
they opened at 221, and remained at 224 3-16th ,I;
Russian Loan Four per Cents., 86k.
The British Market opened this morning rather firmer
than it left: off on Saturday, at 894 for the Account,
no doubt in consequence of the King of the French's re-
ply to the various Addresses to him on the day of the new
year, which were of a very pacific nature. Afterwards
Consols were not quite so good, and may be quoted now
at 89k, the leaving off price of Saturday. Exchequer
