FRANCI

The French Government received on Saturday intelli-
gence of the arrival of Abdel Kader at Toulon. The ex
Emir, so runs the dispatch, hemmed in between the
troops of the Emperor of Morocco And the cavalry of
General Lamoriciere, surrendered to Monseigneur the
Duc d'AurnAle, on the condition that he shall be allowed
to fix his residence in Egypt. It was confidently expected
that the ex-Emir would arrive in Paris on Sunday.
A heavy fall of snow took place in Paris and its neigh-
bourhood on Saturday night. In the south of France
and in Spain the snow had rendered the roads nearly im-
passable.

MYSTERIOUS.—At the recent ordination of the Lord
Bishop of Rochester, the Rev. J. W. Harding, a literate
person, was ordained priest, but not sworn to. canonical
obedience. Mr, Harding publicly objected, before the
other candidates, to the use of portions of the liturgy ;
and yet ho was ordained priest ! What does this mean ?
Mr. Harding was formerly at Oxford, but left the Uni-
versity without passing his examination. The rev. gen-
tleman is married to a near relative of Dr. Pusey, with
whom he has recently been on a visit.—London Standard.

LONDON CORN MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
At this day's market there was only a moderate supply of
English; Wheat; the dry samples were in good request, but the
ill conditioned met only a slow sale, at the currency of this day
week. In spite of the large arrival of Foreign Wheat a fair ex-
tent of business was transacted at late rates. Barrel Four firm,
and the turn dearer. Indian Corn held firmly at the late ad-
vance. Malting Barley, as well as Malt, has again declined to
Is. per quarter. In Beans and Peas we can quote no alteration.
Since our last market day, and in addition to the reported
arrivals, we have a liberal supply of English and foreign oats,
and about half a dozen vessels are up from Ireland, making
altogether a large show. Buyers continued to exercise great
caution, and took only sparingly, at our previous currency.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET. I'
- - ESTER DAY.
The beef trade was at late prices, and the supply was an
average.

The- mutton trade was tolerably firm, and previous prices
were supported.
The veal trade was steady at extreme currencies.

MONEY MARKET-

•YESTERDAY

Public Securities were perfectly stationary for two hours after
the time for commencing business, with scarcely a single tran-
saction. Consols for the opening remained at 85 *, but when
the character of the intelligence from India transpired they
were done at 854, and are now 85* ; Three per Cents. Re-
duced have been done at 85 841 ; Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents., at 864 *; and Bank Stock 188. As an evidence that
money is still getting easier on first-class securities, Ex-
chequer-bills have improved to lls. 15s„ and India Bonds to
ss. premium.

THE COOPERING TRADE. A meeting of master
coopers was held yesterday, at the Clarendon Rooms,
when measures were resolved to be taken to forward their
interests relative to the interference with their trade by
the present and intended dock warehouses.

The Observer anticipates—what is already 'pretty welt
looked for—a considerable falling off in the revenue ac-
counts to be made up on Thursday.
The property of the late John 'Tawell, the murderer,
which had been confiscated to the crown, has been; re-
stored to his widow.
Letters from Frankfort announce the stoppage of three
large banking houses in that city—namely, J. F. Gontard
and Sons, for £BO,OOO, and Lob Herz Flersheim and S.
de Haber and Sons, each for about £150,000.
The Austrians have entered the two duchies of Parma
and Modena. The Duke of Lucca, or rather of Parma,
succeeds, by virtue of the treaty of Vienna, to. the duchy
of Parma, and has been invited to take the reins of
government. -
The Princess Adelaide, the sister of Louis P pia"--76,--dred
in Paris on Friday, after a few days' illness. Her death
must have taken the public by surprise, as, although in-
disposed with the prevailing grippe, no serious conse-
quences were apprehended. By the death of the Princess
Adelaide the King of the French loses a councillor upon
whose judgment he was accustomed to place great reli-
ance.

DREADFUL SUICIDES.—On Sunday morning, Mr. A.
T. Williams, of the Stay Coffee-house, Cleveland-street,
London, committed suicide by hanging himself. The
house was closed soon after twelve o'clock p. m. on Sa-
turday and Mr. Williams retired to his bedroom. On his
wife going up in about a quarter of an hour, she found the
door fastened, and on breaking it open found her husband
suspended from the bedstead. She screamed out, and 9
lodger got up and cut down the man, who was quite dead
then being anxious to see Mrs. Williams, who ran down
stairs almost frantic, he sought, and found her with her
throat cut, and almost dead. A surgeon was procured,
but the poor woman died in about half-an-hour. The
Parties had never been known to quarrel. The husband
was formerly a constable, and had entered on the house
about ten months since, and was doing a good business.
His spirits had not, however, for some time, been as
buoyant as usual.
