She has been taken safely into Plymouth, although making five inches water per honr. The passell* gers immedfntely disembarked, an& the ship has been put into. dock. Notwithstanding the• continuance of the Buil ders' Strike, it. appears that about 10,000 men, in various departments of the building trade,. are now working under the terms of 'the obnoxious declaration. We learn that the trip of the Great Eastetzt. to; Holyhead remains fixed for Saturday. But her proceeding to sea with passengers is to. depend, after all, upon her working during this. trip,. So far, her engines have not obtained the maximum speed ; but their further trial is expected to, effect it without any difficulty. Mr. Rowland Hill, of the General Post-office, it will be observed, has come out in reply to the Times on the subject of the recent inquisitorial circular of the Liverpool Post-office, He has not, however, it is evident, taken anything by his motion. The reply he has received from - the Times makes it very clear, that the whole proceed ing is one that is scarcely defensible. We point, with much satisfaction, to the result of the parliamentary revision of the borough voters. - The revising barrister closed his comk _yesterday ; and the issue of his labours has been, 0.0.* the votive,' lusve strupl,- nfi aa many as 1,483 Radical claims, while the Radicals have struck off only 785 Conservative claims, thus leaving the Conservatives in a majority of nearly 700. We are thus quite ready for a contest, come when it may. The extent of French support in the forcible measures necessary for asserting European rights to free commerce in China, appears still to be growing smaller. The modus operandi in respect to it, is said to have attained an alternative posi tion. If this be true, the expected assistance is such as the British empire should not, and will not, wait on. Our flag requires vindication—the injuries inflicted on our countrymen, and on our commerce, demand redress. At the meeting of the ToWu Council, held yesterday, several subjects of great local interest were discussed. Among these may be enumerated the questionable position in which lodging-houses are placed, by the somewhat conflicting regulations under which they should be managed, and the difficulties experienced in applying those regula tions. The supply of water, and its liability to abuse, formed another and an important topic of the Council's consideration. The appointment under theofasecon consideration stipendiaryatin of the Council o magistrateowacsilbrboy theught reading of a memorial from the Law Society. The desirableness of such an arrangement as the appointment of a second stipendiary magistrate was combated by Mr. Alderman Holme, on various grounds. In reference to the proposed New Post-offices in Dale-street, the Council pronounced a resolution which was to the effect, that unless Government shall come forward with some definite proposal, between now and the Ist of December next, the Health ,Committee shall pro ceed with the Public Offices without further delay. These are all matters of deep Municipal and even national interest ; but a question which refers to the safety and comfort of the - commu nity—the driving of cattle through the streets of the town—was brought under consideration of the Council by Mr. It. Gladstone and Mr. S. R. Graves, who made out a strong case in support of some more workable regulation than that which prevails. It will be seen that a special committee on this last-named subject has been appointed. As we expected, the Aberdeen constituiionalisms of Lord JOHN RUSSELL have proved a rather bitter pill for the more extreme among his sup porters to swallow. Many of them have already rejected it with evident nausea, and are looking forward to the coming democratic agitation, to supply an antidote for their offended digestions. It becomes us, in our turn now to ask, what and where is the policy of Liberalism ? What definite principle it is that Lord JOHN RUSSELL is considered to represent ? Whether Liberalism " element," a mere be not an a b s t r action, an ST.

MONETARY - AND - COMMERCIAL LIVERPOOL, Wednesday Evening The Cotton Market to-day was without change in prices ; yet a fair amount of business was transacted at about previous rates.

Whether, now that the Corn-laws are abolished, the Christianity of the legislature destroyed, the sanctity of the marriage tie violated, it is any thing more than the ghost of a vanished princi ple, which has worked out its spasmodic effort, and has lost its occupation ? That the, distinctive work of Liberalism is- : done, is evidently Lord . JOHN Rus,sELL's private opinion ; that is., if we are to assume the sincerity ; of his last political confession. And we are jus tified in asking, what motive can be discerned in the present political position which he and his associates assume, except the ,personal advan tages to be reaped from the manoeuvres and involutions of faction; and the keeping- alive of antagonisms in the State ? What room is there for an intermediate party between the defenders and the assailants of the Constitution ? To raise- what great advocacy from the dust -where Lord. DERBY and his colleagues were trampling it, did those busy and anxious in triguers fore their disreputable way to office•? What certain sound was it that the Whig trumi- pet gave at the last election,. cmd which charmed so wisely the ears of factions and of mobs ? Was. this the "great issue" upon which Lord JOHN RUSSELL staked, his fortunes, or did he not tacitly give in to the dbmocratic hints , of his supporters, that the future would inevitably mark out for England a signal diversion of current in her constitutional history ? To us, hacked, it has long been evident,. that the questions at issue among the real friends of the Constitution are not of principle but of detail. But we cannot allow Lord JOHN RUSSELL to subscribe, at this the eleventh hour,. to so manifest a truth, and appro iniate it to himself, without reminding him that, while details are the accidents of a party and, perhaps, may Become, through habit and custom, almost accounted among its chazacteristics, prin ciple alone. can. prompt a legitimate party zeal, or keep aliv - e vigorous distinctions and organiza tions. On the basis of Lord Joan's_ last creed, the factious move• which turned out Lord DERBY'SMi nistry, and the present position which it has won for himself,. is a great imposture: When he now openly announces his adherence to the first prin ciple of Conservatism, expounded. and adopted as. a rule of action by their leaders, it is pure faction to declare that the last Reform Bill was unsus ceptible of required changes in Committee; or to propose a vote of want of Confidence in the political capacity of Conservatism to expand the powers,of the Constitution. Lord JOHN RUSSELL offers us a guarantee against democratic changes, in ord'er that we may allow him free license to handle our political system; but, before we cifeit his intentions, it behoves him to explain why he felt called upon to snatch the latter func tion from that political agency which has alone shown itself ,willing and able to resist the former danger. If once there is thorough .unanimity upon the subject of the Constitution in its es- sential and most characteristic features--if it bo agreed that the-real and legitimate want of this age, as of all ages, is that the Constitution - should adapt itself to that want by the exertion of its own internal vigour,—not by the forced impres sion of foreign and alien influences,--and only as and when that want itself inevitably , suggests and renders it practicable ; then the gratuitous assumption that the constitutional party in the State is, by its position, unfitted to discharge the functions - of Reform, is a simulated device of faction, and the .plea of selfishness and egotism. If Lord JOHN RUSSELL could get rid of his personal and family motives, he would see that the best way of pro- , Meting those moderate designs, which he now pretends to be the only patriotic motive of reformeis, is by the harmonious action of all reputable sections of politicians, and the asso ciated discountenance of the demOcratic and envious spirit which seeks the triumph of a class, and a complete change in our political and social and religious system. If the spirit of his present 'professions had ruled him when Lord DERBY'S constitutional Reform demanded his disinterested consideration, he would have forborne from the mean and grovelling tactics of faction ; and where supposed improvements could have been suggested, would have been disposed to offer not opposition but counsel. How exactly is all this seeming caprice an illustration of this wily tactician's position for the last ten or twenty- Years ? His innate and educated regard for the principles of the Constitution, has withheld him, from wishing success to the wild theories of such narrow-minded and uninstructed demagogues as Mr. BRIGHT ; but his political interests and ambition have dictated to him a position some where -intermediate between an ill-disguised republicanism, and the party of which he has been the traditional opponent. How hollow and insincere this position has been, is manifest from the fact that its maintenance has given rise to no large political measure ; has evolved promises followed by continually abor tive attempts at performance ; has been a course of living from hand to - mouth, of personal intrigue, coquetry, and delays ; has been doubtful enough to awaken the fears of constitutionalists, but not sufficiently decided to realise the dreanis of democrats ; has, in fact, just enabled him to challenge the services of the one, in order to destroy the political fortunes of the other, and himself rise to the official advocacy of a hazy and uncertain cause. It is quite agreeable, therefore, with this scheme of Lord JoHN RUSSELL'S poli tical life, to find his official, conduct for the last ten years, ,one long and cunning coquetry with the question, of _Parliamentary Reform. It is quite consistent with the character of the m an ,. and with its latest revolution, that he h as . inva.

Lord . ,110111( RUSSELL, indeed, has hitherto disappointed—perhaps betrayed — the Radical section of his following. But we would not, for an infant, calculate upon his fide lity to the Constitution. He has yet to justify his . opposition as a party leader, to: that intelligent and conservative spirit of Reform, which,. as a political philosopher, he inculcates and approves and his recent concessions show that the. next turn of the wheel may find-him in active league with the only consistent promoters of that ptiblic policy which defeated a popular Government and bribed its way to power THE Italian. difficulty thickens apace vaunting programme, issued by Louis NAPOLEON, for sweeping the Austrians out of the peninsula, from the Alps to the Adriatic, seems now' likely to be realise& by the Italians. themselves.. The KING OF - SARDINIA, nolens volens, has been elected to their sovereignties by the Duchies. and the Romagna. They are determined not to be handed about, as it - may please either' the. EMPEROR. OF THE FRENCH or of AESTRIA. The political atmosphere, - consequently, looks - very warlike. The united forces of GA.RIBALDI and FANTI, supported by those of Sardinia, would not improbably-be able to cope with the armies of the EMPEROR. OF AUSTRIA —if the latter be in. And no better plight than they were before this position is. just that which GAVAZZI so much desired, and so.earnestly and eloquently pressed upon the British public. " Leave us to our " selves,—with.an united Italy, we. can drivuthe hated Germans out of our country, and form " for ourselves a. constitutional g,overnment, under "the iule of Yreron EMMANUEL." Such has ever been the language he has held.; and it was no doubt but the echo of a very general and a...verY popular sentiment in Italy. The principle enunciated at Aberdeen, by-Lord JOHN RUSSELL may be quite in accordance with that sentiment ; but for the member of a. Consti- tutional Monarchy, and Foreign Minister,, above all, it is. a. dangerous one —it is, in fact,, neither more. nor less than that .of the. vox populi, vox Dei : meaning that the populace of a country is to choose its, own ruler. But this is, not the idia for which Louis NAPOLEON went to war with Austria ; neither do we believe it is a principle which he eitlwr approves or adopts ; at any rate, the carefulness with which he gathers around himself all things likely to render his dynasty continuous and hereditary► paints out the very opposite theory to Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S. How, then, could a, Congress com posed of such discordant ele c t s , come to any advantageous conclusion I) The plan as laid down by the preseat Foreign Secretary at Aberdeen, would forestall its. result. Unless the Great Powers which are to confer together agree to allow ;the' Duchies and the Legatine State of Romagna to resist the enforcement Of the treaty of_ Villafranca, entered into by the Imperial bel ligerents,-: as to the restoration of, the Grand -Dukes, England is to take no Part in any cOll ference whioh may grow out of the meetings at Zurich. Upon the assumption that such, an un- derstanding existed beforehand, what guarantee have we that the course diplomatic discussion might take would not bring the Great Powers to ionic contrary determination ? If England stood alone for the independent choice the people of the Duchies have made for themselves, she would _occupy a very undignified position, outvoted and outwitted by Napoleonic perfidy—by Russia°. animosity and Austrian revenge. W ll° security is there against any such possible result which we have thus hypothetically put? Doe s the career of Louis NAPOLEON, from first to last warrant an entire and full reliance on his word ? The coup d'etat—the slavish imitation of hig uncle—all point to the very contrary expect *. tion. We have had sufficient evidence of hi s utter disregard of oaths, and of his solemn ell ' gagements broken, whenever it suited his Par" pose, or impeded his advancement. In such 0 ,, eventuality, would our " Motley Administration, after having forced us into such an unbecoming position, assist the Italian States, which 1 0 ' 143 expelled their lawful rulers, and annexed them e selves to the Piedmontese Government ? W ci really apprehend that - the spirit of meddling a n d restlessness, which seem to be the idiosyncrtisieB of Lord PALMERSTON and Lord JOHN IW S : SELL, would place us in a very critical and dangerous dilemma.. It would be a very strange afterpiece to the Franco-Sardinian camPa i r c i should we take up arms against Austrian an French arrangements.
