TURKEY.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. I.—Last Monday it waif;
announced that Aali Pasha had replaced Fusel
Pasha as Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the
following day it was known that there had taken
place a further modification of the Cabinet, by
which Ethein Pasha—a name new to the Wes
would obtain the Foreign-office, and Aali Polo'
and Fuad Pasha places in the Ministry without
special departments. The Cabinet, as now consti
tuted, will stand thus :
Reschid Pasha Grand Vizier.
Ethein Pasha ~. Foreign Affairs.
Ritza Pasha Army.
Mehemet Ali Pasha Navy.
Mukhtar Pasba Finance.
MUSBa, Saffiti Pasha Commerce.

This must be looked upon as one of the strongest
Ministries that has been seen for many a, day: The
Takirn, or movement party, is decidedly in the
majority, while the presence of Mustapha and
Mehemet-Ali forms, so long as they are retained,
a guarantee against a vast amount of intrigue and
sitiou which would be certain to be brought
oppo
against the Government were they excluded from it.
We read in the Pays of Paris :—" A telegraphic de-
spatch from Constantinople announces that Riz3, Paella,
Minister at War, is no longer a member of Reschid
Paella:B cabinet. We do not know the reasons for his
retirement, nor whether his successor has yet been no-
minated. But at all events the news, should it be con-
firmed, proves that the ministerial difficulties at Coto
stantinople are not over."

WONEY MARKET

Two :YOL,,
Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed firmly, and was well
'supplied, but prices of all descriptions were unal
tered'. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales,
1,000 of which were taken on speculation. The
Railway Share Market exhibited a quiet appear-
ance, and prices were a shade lower than on Thurs-
day.

In the markets for Foreign and Colonial produce
this week a limited business has been transacted,
but prices have been fully supported, and in a few
instances a slight advance has been established.
Some descriptions of West India Sugar have ad-
vanced 6d. to ls. per cwt., but within the last few
days very little business has been reported. Coffee
has realised full rates, but a very small quantity
has been offered at public sale. Tea has been quiet
but steady, at 9i to 01- for good common Congou.
Rice has been dull, but at fully previous quota-
tions, and some of the lower descriptions have
rather tended upwards. In Spices the transactions
have been limited, and Pepper, Pimento, Cassia
l'ignea, and Nutmeg; are cheaper.
There has been less excitement in the Saltpetre
market, and a decline of is. per cwt. has taken
Place. Tallow has been quiet, but firm.
There is very littla foreign intelligence this
10rning, owing to the delay in the arrivals of the
11,1
ranch mails. Recent accounts from Paris notice
rather a more active demand for money, and judg-
ing from the Bank of France returns, issued to-day,
there appears to have been very little abatement
111 the inquiry duringthepast month, notwithstand-
ing the increased rate which is reported to have pre-
-I,to,itecl. This return, however, is considered favour-
10, inasmuch as it shows a large increase in the
bullion, and a decline in the advances on rentes

The subjoined notice, relative to the Oriental
Gas Company, was posted in the Stock Exchange
v_
'la morning :
"The Oriental Gas Company Limited,

The Money Market is rather easier, and the best
ralities of commercial paper are discounted at
Per cent. under the special quotation.
t There is a very dull market for Public Securi-
ee in the absence of speculation. Prices remain
without the least change of importance, and the
engagements that are entered into do not im-
flan the slightest activity to the market. Consols
„are been 93i to 94 for the Bth proximo

c/eted at 941. The New Threes are 93i to 94,

1,44% of business the quotations rule
