We have printed in italics some names of places

mistake of 1841—as sure to give Lord JOHN Rus-
SELL and Mr. PATTISON two suitable colleagues, as

the West Riding is sure, in a few weeks, to reinstate
Lord MORPETH. We have lately seen gratifying
signs of movement in Bradford, Bristol, Norwich,

and Stoke-upon. Trent, We cannot believe that
Birmingham, Leeds, and Sunderland will continue
to endure their present political annihilation. We
trust that in every place named in the above list
some spirited elector will be found ready to devote
_ _

himself to the task of rescuing himself and brother
electors from their present disgrace. jf so, Ipt him
begin at once, and never cease till the time of election

comps. lie will then have done his best. Let one

man of energy, character, and influence do hit' best

in each of the above-named forty-one constituencies,
and monopoly will lose the best part of the fifty raven
votes which they now send her.

"We have received Madrid papers of the 21st. The
Ministerial crkis here had created a great sensation
in the capital. The Espanol, after giving the news,
says—" If the Whigs return to power—if a dissolu-
tion of Parliament and the new elections allow the
"Whig Cabinet to work at liberty, it is almost certain
that Lord PALAIERSTON and Lord CLARENDON, on
their return to Downing-street, will regard the affairs
of the Peninsula in a different light from Lord ABER-
DEEN. And who knows that we shall not have to
deplore in another sense an exterior influence dif-
ferent to the one that now presses so heavily on
us, and in a manner so fatal, inasmuch as it is
exercisfd by secret and hidden means." The Heraldo,
a Government paper; under the patronage of MAR-
TINEZ DE LA Rosa., expresses a wish that whatever
party comes in, the principles of free trade may
triumph.
Nothing of importance was done in the Cortes.
On the 19th the Three per Cents. closed at 35 13-16
for cash, and 36 1-16 at 53 days, and the Five per
Cents. at 234 at 60 days.

Paris papers of Saturday have been received, with
the speech of his Majesty LOUIS PIIILIPPE on the
opening of the session, which took place that day.
We have given the speech in another place, and re-
joice to find that it is of the most satisfactory cha-
racter. " I continue to receive," said the KING,
" from all foreign Powers pacific and amicable assu-
rances. I hope that the policy that has maintained
general peace through so many storms will one day
do honour to the memory of my reign." His words in
adverting to the last visit of Queen VICTORIA to the
Chateau d'Eu, and to the relations between the two
countries, exhibit a friendly feeling, and a desire to
live on amicable terms with England, highly honoura-
' able tohis MAJESTY. His MAJESTY delivered thespeech
in person, and the report of the progress of the royal
procession from the Tuileries to the Chamber of
Deputies, states that " the National Guards, who
lined one side of the quays through which it passed,
saluted the KING with rather more of unanimity than
usual by cries of Vive le Roi " The papers con-
tinue their remarks on the Ministerial crisis in this
country. The National, on what authority it does
not state, says the following may be regarded as the
real cause of the dissolution off' the 11.' hig Cabinet :
"‘ The Queen having been apprised (avertie) that the
entrance of Lord Palmerston into the Ministry of Fo-
reign Affairs would recall to public recollection too
strongly the mischievous effect of his conduct in 1840,
her Majesty declared to Lord J. Russell that she would
willingly sign the nomination of Lord Palmerston as a'
Minister of the Cabinet, but conditionally that he should
be appointed to some other department than that of Fo-
reign Affairs.' Lord John Russell offered the Ministry
of the Colonies to Lord Palmerston, but he obstinately
refused to accept it. This produced a split in the Cabinet,
and the retirement of the Whigs.'"
The accounts from Algiers are to the 18th of
December, but they contain no new facts of im-
portance. The following extract of a letter appears
in a Marseilles paper of the 22d instant :
" General Jousouff, after his junction with General
Bedeau, disguised ten of his spahis in the uniform of
Abd-el-Kader's regular troops, and dispatched them in
the direction of Guudja, where it was known that Abd-
el Kader had established his camp. These spahis met a
small detachment of Abd el-Kader's regulars, to the
number of ten or twelve, and hesitated not to attack
them vigorously. All these regulars were put to death,
with the exception of one, who IN as captured and brought
to General Juusoutf. 'Phis prisoner indicated the real
place where Abd-el-Kader was encamped, and at the
same moment, although the night was advanced, Gene-
ral Jousouff set out, and by means of a forced march
arrived at twelve o'clock on the following day at the
camp which Abd-el-Kader had quitted only an hour
previously. The General found the fires still burning.
The camp was situate near a morass, which was nearly
impassable, and the French troops suffered much from
the snow, which was falling in abundance."
Most of the papers make comments on President
PoLK's Message, and consider it anything but compli-
mentary to France.
The market for Stock and Railway Shares, on Saturday,
was very firm, and a considerable rise had taken place. The
Three per Cents, closed at 82f. 65c. for cash ; the New Loan,
at 82f. 50c; the Five per Cents. 119f.15c. ; the Orleans Rail-
road Shares, 1,235 f.; Rouen, I,olof. ; Havre, 800 f. ; Avignon,
940 f. ; Vierzon, 665 f.; Basle, 242 f. 50c.; Boulogne, 530 f. ;

Sir Robert Peel has not arrived in town to-day,
but is expected to arrive at his residence in White-
hall-gardens to-morrow or the following day.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
A good business was done in Cotton at Liverpool on Satur-
day. Sales 5,000 bales; 1,500 being taken on speculation, at
full prices.
Among the Banking interests, as well as among their
employers, much conversation has occurred this morning, in
consequence of the principal partner in the rich firm of
Jones, Loyd, and Co. having subscribed 1,0001. to the
Christmas-box fund, for the benefit of the clerks of the house.
Now, without entering at all into the merits of the question,
whether it is politic for the customers of the various
banking establishments to give such donations at all, there
are reasons why the partners of the banks should give as
liberal a donation, for extra services, as Mr. Loyd has done.
It need hardly be stated that the railway department in each
establishment has this year been enormous, that immease
balances in the shape of deposit, have been left in hand,
and it may fairly be assumed that profits have thereby been
realised. The exertions of the clerks of the bankers have
been required to be exerted two-fold, if not more, and to the
partners of other establishments of the same character, a word
may be usefully given—" Go and do likewise."
A number of important arrivals have come to hand to-day,
but the most important articles of information brought by
them are to be found in other columns of this journal. From
the Cape of Good Hope rather unfavourable accounts have
come to hand this morning. The drought had set
in, which had been so intense, that it is re-
ported that 80,000 head of sheep and cattle had
perished in the interior. The natives in the vicinity
of the Orange River had again become rather troublesome.
The dates from Graham's Town are to the 23d of October.
From Cape Town the advices are to the 11th of November.
The Stock Markets are very firm this morning, the intel-
ligence from the United States being considered as of a more
peaceable tenour as regards the Oregon dispute. Practical
men here connected by worth and commerce with the
public, have the most strong opinion that no war will take
place upon the subject referred to. The Speech of the King
of the French, on the opening of the Chambers, is looked
upon too as satisfactory, The price of Consols for the Ac-
count has advanced from 94% to 951/x. Bank Stock fr0m.203
to 205. Reduced Three per Cents., from 9'54 951/ ; Ex-
chequer•bills from 235. to 275. premium, and India Bonds
from 335. to 38s. premium. The Money Market looks very
good to day.
In the Foreign Funds there is an increase of business to be
noticed to-day. In the majority of instances where dealings
have occurred a slight improvement may be given. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been taken at 283/, the Three per
Cents. at 39% 40 ; the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
at 61% ; the Four per Cents. at 94 ; Brazilian Four per
Cents. at 61 ; the Mexican Five per Cents. at 311 A, and
Russian Five per Cents, at 112%.
A very brisk market has prevailed for Railway Shares this
morning. The low priced scrips have very generally rallied.
High priced Shares are rather lower. London and Birming-
ham from 224 to 220. There has been a very good business
transacted this morning.
