London Money Marker, Dec. 26.-In the En-.
gish funds there has been some considerable
fluctuations this week. On Tuesday decline
of seven-eights to one per cent took place, and
on Wednesday the market opened with increased
heaviness; but reaction took place towards
the afternoon of that day. and the official quo,
tations at the close of business showed an i'm
provement OF one.foufth per cent upon the
opening. Yesterday, of course, was close
holiday, and to day there has been very little
disposition to do business. Consols opened at

| Liverpool Cotton Market, Dec. 26-The i'm
proved tone OF our cotton market noticed at the
close last week has been again manifested in
this; for owing to he limited period allotted to
business the demand since Friday last has been
d lily good, and sellers have been enabled to
obtain rather better prices than on that day, but
not to the extent of one eighth of penny per
pound. The total sales since Friday are 34,360
bales, of which spectators have taken l,74O
American, 4,l30 Surat, and so Madras; expor-
tiers, 1880 American, 10 Carthagena, 10 Egyp-

of all kinds to the trade. The authorized quo
tatons when the market closed for the week, on
Wednesday evening were-for "Fair Bowels,

Lord Palmerston has resigned his post as
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and Earl
Granville has been appointed in his stead. A
vacancy has thus been created at the board of
trade
On the I'd of December we stated that
serious difference had aMen in the cabinet
that the old feud between Lord Palmerston and
Lord Grey had broken out afresh, and that Lord
John Russell would have to decide between his
two subordinates. The difference ut the time
had sprung up in consequence of the answer TO
the Finsbury deputation, in which Lord Palmer
ston seemed to set at defiance the absoutist
court of the east of Europe This cireum-
stance, adding TO the irritation of Austria, at a
moment when the court of Vienna refused TO
recognize Lord Westmoreand-all ultra. tory as
he is--as ambassador, impelled Lord Grey to
question the policy OF keeping up an antago
nism with Austria-even for the sake Of sharing
popularity with Kossuth. Lord Grey's Office
