A Bitter struggle.
A Paris telegram to the Times says the
struggle at the coming election will be very
bitter.
Tho Gazette,s Reply to the Times.
The Pail Mall Gazette has an article on
the Spanish question in which it ridicules
the leading article in the Times this morn
ing. The writer save:
Eve can not avoid the suspicion that if a
more powerful country than Spain was
defaulting in her performance of inter-
national duties, the Times would not have
adopted such tone. We are unable to see
any mory creditahle reason for resorting to
it in this case than SPANS inability to
resent it.
The Queen.
Sys
that rumors gain ground that Queen Viotc-
ria will open the coming session of Parlia-
ment in person.
Marine.
The Schooner Rhode has put into Nieuwe
dep leaky. having touched on the coast OF
Texel. This is, possibly, the brig Rhode
from New Orleans for Bremen.
The Grain Trade.
The Mark Lane Express, in its weekly re.
view of the grain trade, says:
In the Paris market, reports of the reap
pearance of frost have arrested the down
ward tendency of prices. but trade is stag
nant, while in several provincial markets
quotations are shilling lower Some places
in Holland, Belgium and Germany have
been in sympathy, but nowhere has there
been material reduction, owing to discon-
tent of growers with present rates. St.
Petersburg is unchanged and Odessa closed,
so shipments from both places must cease
for some tine. In Adelaide Australia.
whence We were recently led to expect
large shipments, prices have suddenly risen
FIVE shillings per quarter. There is great
difficulty in securing wholesale quantities.
A Ministerial Crisis Imminent.
PARIS, January lO.-A ministerial crisis
ia imminent. A Cabinet council was held
last night.
Speaking of the crisis in the cabinet the
Journal DIES Debats says the ministry was
never completely homogeneous, although it
had the appearance Of concord, which was
maintained by mutual concessions. Since
the opening of the electional period dis
agreement has arisen between the ministers
belonging to the right and left centre re-
specting political alliance, and also on the
question whether the electoral candidates
should be patronized by the government.
The Journal further alludes to the aggres-
sive tone adopted by some of the journals
toward certain members of the cabinet,
and to the improper manner in which the
President ia brought into controversy for
party purposes.
