its welfare and of the national power."
The dispute between the judges of the Cour Royale
and the French bar still remains unsettled. On
Tuesday the Court opened at the usual hour. No
advocate was within the bar but several were stand-
ing in plain clothes at the bottom of the hall. Several
cases in consequence were postponed for a week.
The President at the same time announcing that if
no agreement was come to within that period the
Court would hear the simple statement of the soli-
citors and give judgment without the assistance of
barristers. The following are additional extracts
from the papers :

" The health of the Minister of Finances imperatively re-
quires his departure to take the waters very shortly. The
Minister of the Interior will take the direction of his depart-
ment during his absence. Should the benefit he expects to
derive from the waters not be sufficiently decisive to enable
M. Lacave Laplagne to resume his portfolio on his return,
there must be a change in the Cabinet ; but nothing will be
done before the close of the session. The seat of ➢I. Lacave
Laglagne in the Court of Cassation is, as well known, re.
served to him."

The Moniteur publishes an ordonnance for the execution of
the law of July last, taking off the ordinary duty upon
sprits of wine if adulterated so as to be fit for no other pur-
pose than for lighting. The law having authorised the Go-
vernment to levy a new duty upon the adulterated mixture,
it has fixed the following tariff. In the rural communes llf.

a population of from 4,000 to 6,000, 15f. 10c. ; in towns of
6,000 to 15,000, 19f. 20c. ; in towns of 15,000 to 30,000
23f. 30c. ; in towns of 30,000 to 50.000 and upwards, 27f. 40c. ;
and in Paris and the banlieue, 29f.

M. Double, orderly officer of the Minister of War, set out
yesterday evening on a mission to the frontier of Morocco.
"M. d'Andre is appointed Secretary to the French embassy
at Turin. M. Joseph de Mareuil, Chargé d'Affaires ofFrance
at that Court, proceeds in the same quality to Buenos Ayres,
with the rank of First Secretary of Embassy.
" The Commerce says The fleet which the Government
is about to send to the coasts of Morocco will, we understand,
consist of three ships of the line, several frigates and
steamers. It also carries out 1,200 troops and a company of
engineers.'
" The Pluton steamer, with the baggage of the Prince de
Joinville, left Havre on Monday for Toulon. She had pre-
viously taken on board an iron boat, which had been made for
the Prince."

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

MONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
steady. Sales 6,000 bales, viz.-200 Pernams, at 54d. to 64d. ;
250 Egyptian, at 64d. to Bd. ; lOO Maranham, at sd. to 54d. ;
600 Surat, at 3d. to 34d. ; and the rest American, at 34d. to
6d. Speculators took 500 bales.—Shares were rather
better for South Eastern, but not quite so good for Bir-
mingham and Grand Junction. Birmingham and Derby
were 63 ; Caledonian, 34 ; Chester and Holyhead, 54 ;
Eastern Counties, 114 ; Grand Junction, 219 ; Great Western,
1211 ; Birmingham, 218 ; Brighton; 47 ; South Western, 86 ;
South-Eastern, New, 11 ; Paris and Lyons, 31. 9s. 9d. ; Ditto
and Rouen, 384 ; Orleans and Tours, 24.
The ship arrivals continue tolerably numerous, but they
bring no later advices.
The East India Company have announced that their rate
of exchange on Bengal and Madras is fixed for the present
at ls. 10d., and upon Bombay at ls. 104 d. per Company's
rupee.
Ile effect of the prohibition by the Prussian Govern-
ment of all time bargains in railway shares has been very
injurious, it is stated, to the value of those invest-
ments in the German exchanges. Large orders had
been received at Vienna from Berlin for the sale of
shares, and this leading to a sudden and considerable
decline had caused many of the speculators to become de-
faulters.
The new Belgian loan is out. For every 104 f. in old 24
per cents., 44 per cent. bonds will be given,:the interest com-
mencing from May, so that there will be a bonus to the an-
nuitant. Bankers and brokers will have 4 per cent. com-
mission allowed them.
The Belgian Legislature has recently had rather an im-
portant subject under consideration, viz., the policy of
allowing about 7,000,000 kilogrammes f Dutch colo-
nial coffee to come in annually at reduced terms. The
objectors to the proposition contend that the English
merchant will benefit, to the detriment of the Bel-
gian, as we shall extend our commerce with Java, taking
coffee for our fabrics, and sending the pro-
duce to Rotterdam for sale. This will diminish
the outlet for the cotton fabrics of Ghent, in
Dutch East India, and the reduction intended here on free
grown foreign coffee, will, it is urged, favour the competi-
tion, as the chief difficulty with our merchants is to obtain
profitable returns from Java.
The public Securities have to-day been buoyant, and we
quote a further slight improvement in the rates, Consols
being 984 to 4. There have been some fair purchases, and
the heavy investments also feel the influence of the rally,
being better than they were yesterday afternoon. The Reduced
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have realised 104 to 1024, and
the New for Special Transfer 1024. The Three per Cents. are
99 to 4. Bank Stock is quiet at 1974. Exchequer Bills re-
alise 735. to 755. premium.
The Foreign market is also rather more active. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been steady at 234 to 234, and the
Three per Cents. at 344 to 4, and up to 35 for time. Mexi-
can are also rather dearer, 344 to 4 for the Actives, and 144
for the Deferred. Colombian are 124 to 13, Peruvian 264 to
27, and Brazilian New 79. Portuguese Converted Stock is
at 47. Belgian are supported at 104 to 1044, and Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have risen to 614 and 62.
For Railway Shares the inquiry is not active ; but full
rates are asked. Great Western are 46 ; Birmingham 119 to
120; and South-Western, Lights, 34 to 4 premium. Eastern
Counties are 114 discount; and North Midland 64 discount.
Orleans and Bordeaux have improved to 14 and 14 premium ;
and Paris and Orleans to 184 4 premium.
