There was a fair demand for Cotton to-day, at about previous rates. The sales were 7,000 bales, including 2,000 on speculation and for export. In the Liverpool Share Market there was very little business doing to-day, and prices are barely Dr : lined. The market for Public Funds and Securities was stationary to-day, at the closing , quotations of 3-esterday, with a steady appearance, but with little business. The Oovernment broker has purehased £lO,OOO. Consols are officially marked 95-1,, to - 4 4 - for money, and 958 for the 'llth of October.

With cheap food it' is not too much to expect a fair, if not, indeed, a large general trade ; and con sequent on this, and other encouraging indications, -the _feeling in commercial circles continue .I?ope fnl." The extensive arriviul of nnlnrb;.l marked off in our last, has suffered no abatement, On the cOritraryi it has proportionately rather increased, as is evident from the large amount of shipping employed in its. import ; up to this period last year, the extent of ton- Age engaged in the import of colonial wood 'Was. :117,562 tons, this year it has reached 172,623 lons. The consumption, although fair, indeed encouraging, 4as not been sufficient to keep pace with the increasing import ; stocks have consequently accumulated, which 'ha's had the effect of preventing any rise in the value of most, if not all kinds. Had the import been less ex tensive; it is more than probable that ere now ive went in prices The steamer Indus will leave on Monday with £154,300 in silver and £5;000 in gold for Bombay, besides £397 in gold for Gibraltar. The remit tance on account of the Council of India is £151,300. About £42,000 in bar gold is engaged for transmission! to .Cadiz by the ; Oscar. At St. Petersburgh on Thursd.ay the exchange on London was quoted 34d. The Calcutta and China mails, announced as havinc , reached Aden, are expected in London v 1 .

It appears that the whole of the Australian mail (besides £lB,OOO in gold) is safe, and reached Suez by the Northam - ; the light portion is ltoked for on the 12th or 13th inst. The shares of the Great Ship Company have improved to par toy prem. We are informed that upwards of 12,000 out of the t 30,000 new g l ares have already been taken up.

Rice is in moderate request, and sales have been made on rather easier. terms. Large arrivals of White Pepper have led to a slight reduction in the value. Black Pepper remains steady. The Saltpetre market has been firm, but the few parcels offering prevefit business of importance. At the Tea sales a considerable portion of the quantity brought forward sold, and rather lower rates were, accepted for Congou.

Mackay's Circular) Since our annual circular, dated Ist February, 206 vessels, 172,623 tons register, wood-laden, have arrived from British North America, viz., 73 from Qucheo, 76 from St. John, N. 8., and 57 from. other ports ; at the same date last year, 140 vessels, 117,662 tons, had arrived. PINE TIMBER.—The arrival of logs from British America continues in excess of last year's import. Prices evince steadiness at about the rates quoted in our last, ranging from 133 d. to 183,d. per foot for Quebec, according to average and quality, the higher price being obtained for very fine clean timber. Since the issue of our last circular one or two small parcels of large-sized board timber, of good quality, sold by auction at from 23d. to 24d. iaer foot. In considering the large prices thus obtained, it should be borne in mind, that owing, to the roundness of the logs the difference of measure ment on these lots will be great. Similar timber, of superior quality, has been sold by private treaty, at about the same prices. From St. John several cargoes and parts of cargoes have been sold by private treaty and public auction, at rates ranging from 21,d. to 6!d. over the average girth, as in quality the stock of this article is now nearly double in extent compared with what it was last year at this date. RED PINE has not altered in value since our last : it is worth from 15d. to 19d. per foot, according to size and quality; by auction a parcel, forty-six feet average, sold at from 17d. to 17id. per foot. OAR, from Quebec, has been imported in more mode rate quantity daring the present season than for some previous years, it having, to a great extent, been pushed out of this market through the competition of better qualities from the Southern, States, particularly by the very superior kind so favourably known as the Thornton white oak, from Virginia. In consequence of this we do not alter our quotations for Quebec Oak, which is worth from 22d. to 26d. per foot, according to size and quality. . - Eiii is now nearly double in stock to - what it was at the !same period of last year. It has been sold at from 16d. to 24d. per foot, according to quality and size. N.B. and N.S. PINE and SPRUCE Dana.s.—Although the import of these have been on an extensive scale, it has been met by a consumptive demand, sufficient to prevent any great addition to the stock on hand at the date of our last. This demand has, - without doubt, been considerably stimulated by the low price at which they have been placed on the market. They are now rather easier of sale, and the price a turn in favour of the seller. St. John firsts, seconds, and thirds, in fare pro portion, are worth from £8 to £8 2s. 6d. per standard ; other kinds in proportion. QUEBEC DEALS retain the same position in the mar -1 ket as at the date of our last. First quality, separate from cargo, may still be quoted as worth from £l5 15s, to £l6 ; seconds, from £9 17s. 6d. to £lO 55., and thirds at from £7 10s. to £8 Ss. per standard, according to specification. Haw:moon has continued to be imported largely, , TIMES. and it is selling at from 171. to 20d. per, foot far St John, and &ha kinds in PITCH PINE.—The market Toportion ..,,,ianues overstocked with his article, although no arrivals have taken.place since our last; the carol) price may be quoted at from 18d, to 19d: per foot for averages ranging from 65 to 75 feet.

THE DAY'S NEWS With regret we learn that the_ presumed peace with the Chinese has not been so fully a settle ment of the • dispute with- them as was believed here. It appears that on the ,25th , of June an• affair took place in An attempt to force the passage of the Yellow River, in which it is said the English lost several gunboats;--and-had four -hun dred and sixty-four men killed and wounded, among whom are twenty-two officers. It is 'iwith .Ntry deep regret that we direct attention to an account in our latest news, of a dreadful accident on board -the Great Eastern. funhel of - one of the boilers, by which not only was great damage done to the fittings of the Frond saloon and lower deck cabins,- but, what is infinitely worse, several of the firemen and stokers were fatally scalded or burnt,—three of them killed at once. It is, perhaps, some consolation that the accident has not been of such a nature as to indicate anything wrong in the ship herself, or to be at all likely to interfere with her suc- -casing ces4ul pro; The Asia arrived here yesterday from New York. Her news is not important, at-least so far as concerns the United States. From Mexico, It is not wonderful, therefore, that'the dream of a " isinterester Italian war which set on fire the imaginations' of " reducteuri generals six months ago, is now appropriated as a solid and brilliant fact of history, arranging itself into _the proper relief beside that centre= piece that never fades, nor - shows a diminis front=the glory of France.

Our advices say that Mexico, at least •that portion recognising Al iramon, is in a state of more confusion than ever, the " Church," as usual, being the Principal element of discord— the last move being the excommunication, en masse, of all opposed to the Dictator. Commer cial affairs were quiescent. Money was rid go abundant. Cotton wasqtrl - ` - and - not much - tioiis being merely nomina .et and in v ae.tive,_quota; 1 , and the inquiry des were about the same as We giv=e a brief notice of the appearance of the Right Hon. J. W. Henley at an agricultural meeting in the county he represents; a few. days In the speech he delivered,_ he took• occa sion to deprecate all idea of war bet'een England and any Continental Power, and more particularly a war with - France ; and with respect to what was the occasion of, his unfortunate secession from the ministry of which he was a member,—parlia mentary reform,—he declared, that if there was to be any alteration in the present system of re presentation, it ought to be of such a nature as would produce a real, and substantial amendment of the condition of all classes of the population. We may point to the several items of intelligence from the Continent, which we give this morning a s indicative_ef the still unsettled state of things, respecting the objects of the late Italian war. The revelation by the French Government, that one of the conditions of the treaty of Villafranca, was the restoration of the Grand Dukes, in return for whiCh Austria engaged to make large conces sions to Venetia, has naturally created :e6nsidera ble excitement in political circles. .The prospect of an immediate adjustment of the Italian difficulty is considered to be rendered less certain than ever. We may expect that in the course - of this week; more will transpire on this subject, from which in all probability a better idea may be formed as to the future. At present there is said to be great un easiness at Paris; under the apprehension that a renewal of the war is by no means improbable. We insert a letter in another column from " A Victim" of the existing most unjust and oppressive system of Free Trade in Shipping, which is well deserving of particular attention at, the present moment. It is especially the duty, we humbly think, of the Conservative Press to do its utmost to expose the grievances of the Shipping Inter est; and no one can read the. letter to which we refer without seeing that those grievances are not only real, but intolerable. • A report has been received by the Ben Nevis, which arrived in Liverpool on Saturday, that the steamer Persia had met with an accident—the crank-pin breaking short off; but as the vessel had two spare pins on board, Messrs. Maclver are of opinion that she has proceeded en her voyage. To render all safe, however, we under stand that Mr. C. Maclver, the managing partner of the firm here, has sent off one of the company's steamers, to render assistance if required. IT is the misfortune of people given to the use of high-flown language, that they are often borne on the wirgs of their fancy beyond the sober limits of truth. These fantastic aberrations are generally achieved with an utter uncon IeIOAS- ness of anything more -than ft . -eertnin-- afflatus which lifts the writer out of himself, and preci pitates him into the dulce pericalum of an extra- vagant enthusiasm. ' Oar: French friends, for instance, amongst whom this intoxication takes . the egotistical form, find human language almost too limited for the full expression of ideas, which, with all their expansion, are made for ever to revolve about one figure : the glory and destiny of their country, An introverted sympathy makes " little I the - hero of each tale," that chal lenges that impalpable touch of grace which French journalists and French orators are accustomed to impart to current topics. Their only medium of sympathy with other nations, or other causes, is gained by infusing around them their own atmosphere, and gathering them up into their own central system. For them the Italian cause had no charm till it was mixed up with French glory. They have no cars for the " cry of liberty" unlesi [ it appeals to French generosity and mag nanimity ; and praises humbly while it appeals. For independent and already powerful nations, such as England, we cannot expect •any mani festation of sympathy, just becatue this „inde pendence and power in no way mix themselves up with the moral or physical influence of France ; but, in some instances, perhaps, ra ther the • reverse. All nations must, and are inevitably destined to undergo a more or less. severe system of tutilage, until they shall have learnt to watch and wait with awe and a spirit of humble imitation, the gyrations and upward flight of the Gallic Eagle. Nay, we could -almost imagine that Frenchmen were a company of aye no char in the Iron Trade of these districts.. forges are all at work ; the demand f Plates is still very bris: and likely to contit orders for other kinds The advices from America likewis re less numerous this week bring few orders and these for small quantities sego:ants from this quarter are cheering with respect to the future. On the whole, with the exception of Sheets and Plates, the market Must be considered a- little quieter in Finished Iron than it was a week ago. -We have had less business done in Pig Iron this week, the manufacturers being by no means eager buyers ; and the makers of Hydrates, and first-class All Mine Brands show just as little disposition to sell. Pricer of - Gocri - Pigs -- are firm; withistit - the -Slightest nevertheless, the prospect of the smallest reduction in present rates.

The The Foreign shares of the Great Ship Company have improved to par toy prem. We are informed that upwards of £12,000 out of the £30,000 new shares have already been taken 'up. '(From the Times City Article.) The summary of the Article in the Aloniteur imply ing that, in revenge for the conduct of the Duchies, Venetia is to be persecuted, caused the English Funds to open this morning with a heavy appearance, the infer ence being that nothing coeld be more calculated to stimulate the Venetian provinces to a hopeless insur rection. Both at the Bank and in the open market the demand for discount has increased and few bills were nego- ciatedlTelow 24 per cent Late' in-the day, an advance : etherialised philosophers,. untainted by the vulgar on this rate was occasionally obtained. - The Bank of France,- yesterday, raised its price fox; - interesta_of.mankind; dropt from another sphere railway obligations: the'imotint already disposed of has to point the nobler road to humanity, and pre readied ia.Aoo,oollo._ .- - -- - --- ' serve .. trnong mortals . the - memory of the great A further sum of £190,000 was paid in full on the li2dian Loan to-day.

Most of the principal English stocks left at , 4 to i per cent. lower: Such, therefore, being the spirit of self-laudation •, and flattery, by frequent inchilgence in which certain French journalists. have , made themselves pOsitively drunk, we can scarcely be rigorous enough to carp at every little step beyond the truth to which, their mental fury carries them. It is not to be expected that in that hazy atmos phere, where float so majestically and composedly, destinies,'' and mysterious "program mes," all charged with some super-eminent senti ... merit, the Obscure and humble lineaments of truth can be at all tines accurately discerned. Writers on art teach us that there is a truth higher than the truth of fact; and when we encounter little deviations in a French authority ; we have only to take for granted that a particular , .of detail has been sacrificed. to s me universal trutkof idea. When we know that‘ " idea " to be the progresi, of civilization according . to. the Freneh pro- gramme, And conducted in due accord with the power and - destiny of a great people, much that seems inexplicable 'is explained, and much that was unpleasant and uncomplimentary h 1 existence ; but, that stor which speaks. to the soul of humanity and; as it were, crystallises the deepest psychological trutlis. It is the French Govern- inent organ which again expounds to us the lesson of the Italian war France alone fights for an idea ; therefore France alone fights for Italy ! Now, we can have no objection to this ideal fighting. We have: no envious reluc tance to admit France to this place among the nations, if she can make out a claim to it. Amid all this hurry -scurry in the pursuit of meaner interests and sordid gratifications, we can afford to welcome the advent of so lofty and mag- nanimous a teacher to 'the 'haidening• material ism of the age. But unfortunately for the con- sistency of the picture, the Moniteur himself wipes' out this inspiriting characteristic, and shows, in his context, that all his touches of fancy .are but the overburdened conclugion to most lame and impotent premises ii[oniteur. is simply The lOgie of this : the " idea which Louis NAPOLEON announced as the and which the object of his recent , war, Italians are now, with re-awakened ardour, trying to elaborate, but with a zeal hopeless without external assistance, must and will be nipped in the bud, because no one fights for an idea but France, and—France will not may be all very well to discourage the vain hopes of the Italians, but does it prove that France fights for an idea ? On the 2loniteur's own showing,. we should say that the sad inference is, as it ever was, that no nation goes to•war for an idea not bound up with its own interests or safe- tv. But what, then, is the meaning of the trium phant assurance that " France has accomplished her mission ?" The " idea " still lies prostrate, still groans, and bleeds and grovels in the dust. The problem of Italian liberty is not wrought out ; nay,-is-scarcely touched. Is-the annexation of the previously happy and contented people of Lombardy to Piedmont the achievement of the idea that animated the bosom of France ? Is the consolidation of Austrian power there, where her rule has been always the sternest, the accomplish- ment of Louis NAPOLEON'S mission ? This may ba so. We do not say that France was called upon to spend her blood and treasure for the pur pose of raising the idea of Italian freedom from under the iron hoof of. the stranger, to place it on the throne's of princes. But then why does the Monitiur appeal to that abortive campaign as a triumphant evidence that France, and France alone amongst the nations, fights for an idea? Why. does he claim for his country the sole championship of a lofty mission at the very time that he is. explaining her desertion of that mis sion at the most critical moment of its fortunes and its trials ? The EMPEROR himself, when the fit of candour was on him before Verona, effectually superseded all these alternate sophistries and fancies : arro gant claims and feeble explanations. He found it necessary for once, when talking to the world, to talk like the - world, and in language which the -simple and the vulgar could thoroughly appreciate. He gave the most solid, and, as French newspapers would term it, the most sordid reasons for withdrawing from his osten- Ode and generous " mission wanting keen and over-candid observers among themselves who, having more respect for the astuteness than the honour of their master, have not scrupled to tell us that he did not blow up the bubble till his own more selfish and secret one had assured itself a further guarantee of future success. There were not we have too much confideHe ndeed, in the sag acity an d perseverence o f th e F renc h EMPEROR to suppose that he has been baffled in his real object. But if the Moniteur cares to boast that his mission .has been accomplished, let him not I paint it in colours borrowed from an overwrought fancy, and a.flattering indifference to truth. If Louis NAPlittoN fought for an idea, it Was of the vulgarest sort. - The mission; we do not deny, has been accomplished ; but if so, it can scarcely - • • have been the resuscitation and establishment O Italian feeedom, IT is remarkable how the prejudices, of man's mind will - blind him to the force of facts which may militate agiiiiist_his_ own views. -This per", version is strongly exemplified in Mr. LiNtosAY speech, delivered at Sunderland, when explaining to the electors his , _reasons for having supporte d the late Administration.. He delivered there' what he called three important facts, con nected with.. an Interest in which he i s hi mse lf largely concerned : namely, British Shippi ng . He allegesr Ist, That the entries inward a n d' o utward English vessels have increas e d s i nce th e Repeal of the Navigation Laws more than before-2ngli' That the number of ships built since the repea l is greater than before ; and, lastly, - That th e ihumber of, ships owned iS g rea t er th a n before . He leads us to suppose, that a ll thi s h a s takelr place in consequence of the repeal of those laws we are considering; whereas he should hare stlici in sfiite of theM The causes of the increase , it well known to Mr. LINDSAY, as thef are to all conversant with the question of Brie' Shipping,. have been the gold discoveries and the,.

It appear`, therefore, that these important fa:cts are, after all but one cut up into three The honourable' member for SUnderland further 'states that, i° 1857 . , five and a half Millions of British ShipPil l 'e entered our ports, two millions two hundred thousand tons only being from the Colonic s. consequently,wo have three millions three hundred thousand tons engaged in the trade with foreiP And he argues from this, that if 1 " an Order in Council, the Reciprooti Clauses, we should virtually throw three million' countries enforced, by three hundred thousands of tons of British Ship- ping out of employment This is a most rid' lous fallacy Does Mr.- LINDSAY, or any other man, suPP that if the Reciprocity Clauses were put in ope' ation—which they ought to. been; in °,_ opinion, long ago—that the trade of ou would have been restricted to the Colonies," :that foreign nations would have prevented Brit ish merchants sending British ships to bring the produce of their countries ? He all e g es that, if we shut Our ports to Spain, she irc' tlld, l duties she put s u p o n our goods shipped in close hers' to us. But her ports are alrea virtually closed to us, from the high differen t',,_ bottoms." The fallacy, therefore, 1 3 0 .tr.4 1 i s so glaring' that we are surprised to find it so confidently P lit forth by one who , must be so well informed ' 9° ' the subject, and we can only account for it by' CO 11- eluding that he is blinded by thb bias of own predilections. The fact is, that o r only the ports of Spain, but also those :sr, France,-are already closed to British-Shipping' heavy differential duties. Quite the reverse scc iit e be the case to what Mr. LINDSAY states if 'c had reciprocity, viz,—increased emplovment o. British Shipping, Shipbuilders, and their nn niel l . s ous Mechanics. All that the British Shipo rne y , ask, is that foreigners should do to them as til ; e i e do to others,—that is, to establish that Prin c ` P . or which is, or ought to be, the common rule of l l er and which .prevails, or ought to do, in all etli businesses,—and the exclusion of ShiPP ifi; f , from which, cannot possibly be justified upon - principle of fairplay whatever. Our uneenos% tional repeal of the Navigation Laws wa 4 in t o gratuitous piece of folly, which has justly i l3de r , the laughing stock of the world. Ha d t y LABOUCHERE proposed the principle of recir Oci before the repeal, doubtless every nation l c° o have fallen into it, and freely opened their P °r 00 to us as we have •to them ; but without 5°,116/ pressure being applied now, from the one -51 . 0 - advantages which they enjoy, and which ar e . enormous, they will not do so.
