election the Tory interest prevailed from antipathy
to the last Administration, free-traders would
be returned, and after a delay of some six months,
daring which time trade and enterprise would be
paralysed, the great measure would be carried by a large
majority. The Duke of RicuAtozus had therefore better
yield in season, and not encourage an agitation which
may lead to other " encroachments" on the landed
interest, besides the very harmless repeal of this useless
tax. His Grace knows well the sentiments of the Scotch
farmers on the subject; he knows that the unsettled state
of the law has driven many of them to the conclusion that
it can exist no longer with safety to agriculture, and
also that large numbers of the English tenantry are
coming round to the same opinions. Would it not,
therefore, be wise on the part of a nobleman, in other
respects so estimable, to give up his crochet and submit
with a good grace to imperious necessity ?

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
(From The Sun of Last Nighs.)
The sales of Cotton atLiverpoolyesterday were 2,500 bales,
at steady prices. Shares were very quiet, but firm.
There are no arrivals to-day. We are all on the qui rive
for Monday's demonstration at the Mansion House, and the
renewed rumour of Sir Robert Peel's resignation serves to
keep alive the excitement.
The Funds opened firmly to-day and support rather fuller
rates. Consols for present transfer have been 94% to 34,
and for time 9,134 to 95%. The premium on Exchequer-
bills has been 21s. to 235., and on India Bonds under 1,0001.,
303. The New Three-and-a. Quarter per Cents. have been
95% to %, and the Three per Cents. 93% to Ai. Bank
Stock is at 201. East India Stock is nominally without al-
teration.
In the Foreign Investments business is slack. Sr,souish Five
per Cents. have improved, however to 281/2, and the Three
per Cents. to 38. Portuguese Four per Cents. are steady at
59. Mexican Bonds have been heavy at 2934 ; and Colum-
bian are about 16%. Dutch Four per Cents. have been
quoted 93.
In the market for Railway Shares there is not much acti-
vity, but prices look tolerably firm.

Madrid journals of the 2d have been received. From
all accounts the Government is gaining strength and
confidence every day ; the Opposition can make no
resistance, and the financial measures of Senor MON are
furnishing money for the payment of the troops—a cir-
cumstance greatly calculated to secure their fidelity.
NARVAEZ, having gained the confidence cf the army, has
now turned his attention to the journalists, and with
some of the income••tax, probably, has purchased in the
name of a friend (such is the report) the Heraldo, for
some time a renegade Opposition paper. The price is
42,000 piastres, and the ex-editors are also provided for.
The Funds improved on the 2d, the Three per Cents.

The accounts from Paris of the state of the stock
and share-market on Monday are very favourable. The
settlement of accounts went off, not only without any
untoward event, but with a considerable advance. The
tendency to sell has completely disappeared, and the
tide runs strong in favour of investment at the present
low prices. During the last week the Three per Cents.
had advanced If. 30c., and the Fives 90c.; and in Rail-
way Shares the improvement is still more marked.
The political articles in the journals possess little inte-
rest. Those of the Opposition appear to have great diffi-
culty in finding reasons for attacking M. GUTZOT during
the ensuing session. The .11'ational, the most violent of
the party, can find nothing to harp upon but the expedi-
tion to Madagascar, which, in the opinion of the writer,
shows that the Foreign Minister is prepared to sacrifice
the rights of France to please the English Ministry-
" An expedition," it says, " is organised, and will con-
sist of several frigates, with infantry on board, and
some other vessels of minor force. But it is not less
certain that an expedition is also being prepared in
England, and everything seems to intimate that the two
Powers will act in concert. We had a presentiment of
th's new baseness. However, in present circumstances,
the question was so clear, the right of France so evident
and so incontestable, that we allowed ourselves to
hope vaguely for a decision in conformity with
the interests of the country. England is allowed
to combat populations lying under the exclu-
sive sovereignty of France. She is allowed a right
which is a formal denial of her own. She is permitted
to appear at Madagascar on the same footing as we our-
selves, who are the masters of the whole island.
In a word, our title-deeds to a magnificent country are
torn up, simply for the purpose of adding a new conces-
sion to all those which the entente cordiale has already
cost us." The late dispatches from Algeria furnish
topics of discussion for the Opposition journals, and
those of the Government can make but a poor defence in
reply to facts about which there can be no dispute, In
a dispatch published in the Moniteur, General D'AR-
BOUVILLE describes the treacherous reception given to
his column by a Kabyle tribe,:near a place called Oued-
Boullec-Badou, and the chastisement upon them, by
setting fire to 300 houses, and destroying the property
and all who defended them. Next day, the 25th of No-
vember, the same tribe, to the number of 3,000, at-
tacked him with the utmost spirit and bravery, and he
likewise pretty clearly avows that, after three hours
of firing, and repeated bayonet-charges, he was com-
pelled to retreat. The rising in the province of
Constantine is considered of a serious character.
The Journal des Debuts, in adverting to the
movement of ADD-EL-KADER in the direction
of Taguine says :—" This expedition of the EMIR, al-
though it has taken place beyond our line of frontier and
the territory called the Tell, is not the less detrimental
to our interests, inasmuch as it makes many tribes,
whose cavalry is strong, and who previously had either
submitted or were neutral, fall again under the EMIR'S
yoke. The EMIR has striven to cut off our commercial
relations with our allies of the Ksour, or fortified towns,
of El Aghouat and Ain Madhy. He must have de-
stroyed the fortifications which General Mencv had
raised on the road from Boghar to Taguine, in order to
serve as points d'appui to the Arab Douars entrusted
with the protection of the caravans from El Aghouat to
Medeah. ABD-EL-KADER'S mere appearance in the dis-
trict of Tittery, the news of which will be sure to
spread afar, just as if he were approaching i❑ person,
may give rise to insurrections, and revive such as have
just been crushed. General JUSSAF has been sent on to
Tenich-el-Had, in order to pursue the Emnt ; but the
latter will nowhere wait for him, his plan being always
to avoid an encounter, and to harass us on all points by
means of an insurrection of the tribes."

The Presse writes in the strongest terms against the
ruinous policy pursued by BIIGEAUD, and gives the fol-
lowing letter of a correspondent, dated Ora', Nov. 25, to
show that every day the new mode of warfare increases

in atrocity :-
"We are here without any news from the army. The
Marshal has given the most peremptory orders to the Gene-
rals, and other officers in command of columns, to suffer
nothing relating to their operations to transpire, and to give
no account of them to any one but himself. All we know is,
that these commanders have orders to burn as many villages,
and cut off as many heads as possible. Thirteen villages have
been burnt in the environs of Tlemcen. General deLamori-
ciere is at Mascara, and the Marshal in the country of the
Flittas. The communications between Oran and Tlemcen
are still interrupted, and all we learn from Tlemcen reaches us
through Djemma Ghazaouat, and we cannot tell when the next convoy for Tlemcen will take its departure."

A rumour prevailed in the clubs last night, which we deem
t right to publish, as a good deal of credit was attached to
it. It is said that the Duke of Wellington refuses to support
any alteration in the corn-laws, and that in consequence of
the difficulty thus created Sir Robert Peel has determined to
resign. It is added, in Confirmation of this statement, that
it was determined at the Cabinet Council, held on Monday,
that Parliament should be again further prorogued, instead of
beingsummoned by proclamation for the dispatch of business.--
Chronicle of yesterday.—[We attach little credit to this ru-
mour. The Duke of Wellington will not commit a second time
a blunder like that by which he gave such an impulse to Par-
liamentary Reform, and obstinately refuse to support any
alteration in the corn-laws. Indeed, we have heard that he
has expressed himself without equivocation in a very -dif-
ferent manner, and that he considers the corn-laws "doomed."

DIRECTIONS FOR APPIXI.NG POSTAGE

LABELS.
The most effectual plan is to dip the label wholly
into water, to shake off the water immediately, and to
press the label upon the letter with a piece of clean
blotting paper.
When the gum is dull in appearance it will require
rather more time and moisture to make it stick firmly
than when it is glossy.
N.B.—The purpose of wetting the label wholly is to
counteract the tendency it has to curl up from the letter
when only one side is wetted; a tendency caused by the
expansion of that side as it imbibes the moisture.
