Accounts from Madrid state that tranquillity
prevailed.

The Three per Cents. were done on the '2 3 d at
21,i, at 60 days ; the Four per Cents. at 191, with
4 coupons; and the Five per Cents. at 26i 9-16
5-161 I, at 60 days.

The Government of Louis PHILIPPE has
gained a great triumph by the election of
General JACQUEMINOT as Deputy for the first
arrondissement of Paris. The contest was de-
cided on Wednesday, when the Ministerial
candidate had a majority of 147 over his oppo-
nent, the numbers being 842 for the General,
and 695 for M. PORTAL'S. This district is con-
sidered very liberal, and possibly would have
preferred a candidate more opposed to the
politics of the Government; but Court interest,
and the patronage possessed by the Commandant
of the National Guards, prevailed.
Official dispatches appear in the 3loniteur,
addressed to Marshal SOULT by the Governor-
General of Algeria, in which General BUGEAUD
gives an account of a successful razzia on the
'29th ult., by Lieutenant-Colonel ST. ARNAUD,
on the tribes which support SIDI-EMBARREK,
and states that the enemy was driven into the
desert. LAMORICIERE'S column had been sent
in pursuit of ABD-EL-KADER, who for the twen-
tieth time was said to be abandoned by his fol-
lowers, but unfortunately the enterprising Chief
again made his escape.

TIIE POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY FOR 1843.
—We have had frequent occasion to call public at-
tention to the comprehensive plan, and excellent ar-
rangements of this useful work, and in these respects
have little new to add. It is satisfactory, however,
to state, that Mr. Kelly, the proprietor, not ungrateful
for the extensive patronage it has justly acquired, has
adopted many new improvements, and by simplifying
some of die details, and making numerous additions,
has this year rendered it the most complete Directory
ever published. Of these we select the following :
The full names of each partner in every firm appear
at his proper alphabetical position with a reference
to the firm, which likewise appears as before. This
will remedy an inconvenience complained of, that
unless the leading partner's name was remembered,
a firm could not he referred to. A list of the prin-
e'pal hotels, taverns, and commercial inns throughout
England and Wales has been compiled, the land-
lord's name being in each case added. In the
" Trades' Directory," some new lists have been added,
the longest of which is " Travellers," (Commercial).
The Street Directory has been much enlarged, and
now embraces a much wider extent. The Court
Directory also takes a much wider range than in the
last edition, and includes some thousands of names
not contained in any other book. The Proprietor,
from his access to official documents, and the assist-
ance liberally afforded by the Post-office authorities,
has great advantages, and consequently has been
enabled to furnish a vast amount of information, all
of which has been collected within the last seventy
days, by responsible agents, possessing local know-
ledge. It is accompanied by an excellent map of
London, by Wyld, it extends to 1,558 pages, 112
more than in the edition of last year, and forms
altogether a most valuable book of reference.
We have reason to believe that Lieut.-General Sir
Hugh Gough, G.C.8., with the greater part of the
troons at Present ealpinynri Chinn, will A..e-..with
return to India ; and that the command-in-chief will
be entrusted to Major. General Lord Saltoun, G.C.H.,
C. 8., at least until the payment of the twenty-one
millions of dollars stipulated in the late treaty. The
force under his Lordship's orders will consist of a
brigade at Chusan, a small garrison at Amoy, and
two battalions (British), with artillery, at Hong-
Kong, where, it is expected that the head-quarters
will be established.—Post.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
rather brisker, 8,000 bales having been sold, of which
4,000 bales were on speculation : 400 bales Egyptian,
realised 61d. to 61d. ; 150 of Peruvian, 64d. ; 60 of
Bahia, 61d. to 61d. ; 400 of Surat, 33d. to 4d.; and
the American sold at 4d. to 6.71 d. per lb. But little
was done in the Railway Shares, the markets being
dull except for Paris and Rouen, which were in
request. Grand Junction Half Shares were 94 ;
Great Western Halves, 621 ; Midland Counties Fifths,
; and Paris and Rouen, 25.
The notice which appeared at the Bank of Eng-
land yesterday afternoon, and adverted to in the
Morning Edition of The Sun, does not lower the rate
of interest, as stated by the Post and Herald. On the
Ist September last the Bank Directors gave notice
that the rate would be 31 per cent., which was a re-
duction on the previous charge of 3 per cent., but
there has certainly been no increased charge since
then. The demand for capital is decidedly increasing
in the City as trade improves, and we are happy to
state that there are unequivocal symptoms of revival
in various branches of trade ; some articles, such as
dyes, &c., having advanced yesterday 30 per cent. for
shipment to China. Articles likely to be received in
full supply from that quarter are of course lower, and
tea begins to decline.
A statement of the revenue of the province of
Canada for 1841 reached us by the last steamer, and
shows the total Customs to have been 214,4381.
Quebec paying 53,5051. ; Montreal, 108,750/. ; St.
John's, 23,273/. ; Kingston, 8,179/. ; and Toronto,
6,4031. The Excise duties were 22,5701., and the
payments by the American Land Company amounted
to 22,2221. The total net income was 297,9901.
The timber trade in Canada .is evidently improv-
ing, after all the outcry against the abolition of pro-
tective duties. The following communication from
Aylmer, in the Ottawa district, bears out our asser-
tion :—" We entertain very sanguine hopes that the
timber trade will revive, and the producer meet the
reward of his toil in the ensuing season. We under-
stand, in the confident expectation of this, large quan-
tities of timber will be made this winter, and the low
prices of provisions is greatly in favour of the
operative. All is life and bustle in the lumbering sec-
tions, already in active preparation, and as soon as
winter sets fairly in we trust to see, as heretofore,
strings of lumber sleighs wending their way to the
shanties with requisites for the hardy sons of the
forest. Bytonn and Aylmer then will revive; both
have been sadly suffering from the pressure of the
times."

The operations in Stocks will be restricted for the
next few weeks within a narrower circle, as the trans-
fer books are closed for Consols, &c. For money
there have been transfers at 943 to 943, being a
shade higher than yesterday forenoon. For
the opening on the 17th of January, without the
dividend, the rates have been 933 to 934. Exchequer
Bills have realised 495. to 51s. premium, New Three-
and-a-Half per Cents. 1013 to 101.1, and the Three
per Cent. Annuities 94i to 3. A purchase of 5,000/.
has been made in the last-mentioned at 941 for the
Savings Banks Commissioners. Bank of England
Stock remains at 1714 to 1724.
The news from Spain is looked upon as rather more
encouraging, and the Active Stock has touched 181,
while Three per Cents. were 23 to 233. Portuguese
Three per Cents. have been firm at 223. Mexican
Bonds have ruled steady at 301 to 303. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. have been at 521 523.
The only business worth noticing in Shares is in
the South Eastern, at 263 to 273; and in the Scrip
at 23 to 13 discount. Blackwall are 11, and Man-
chester and Leeds, 1 discount. Newcastle and Dar-
lington Junction have been sold at 13 premium.
London and Westminster Bank Shares are 2 prem.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, DEC. I.—We
have had a very flat market to-day, but prices con-
tinue firm. South Eastern Scrip, 18 to 183; Man-
chester and Birmingham, 20 to 203 ; Manchester and
Leeds, 69 to 70 ; Ditto Half Shares, 294 to 30 ;
Ditti Quarter Shares, 43 to 41; Eastern Counties,
83 to 94; Ditto New, 104 to 11.

Murriirm or PARLLIIIENT.—It is now generally
supposed that the Legislature will not assemble for
the dispatch of business until the usual period, viz.,
the first week in February, but nothing certain can
be known on the subject until the next Privy Council.
Raupach, the popular German dramatist, and Tieck,
the poet, whose popularity may almost be said to have
beon ratified by the verdict of posterity, have lately
been raised by the King of Prussia to the dignity of
Privy Councillors.
