The sales amounted to 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 were for export, or were taken on speculation. No change in value was recorded. Concerning the business of the market, Messrs. George Holt & Co. give the fol lowing statement in their weekly circular dated to-day : There has been little, if any, change in.the value of cotton during the past week,' the daily demand having been sufficient to keep prices steady, especially for the 4 ' middling" and better qualities of American ; the com mon and dusty sorts are abundantly offered, and conti nue to be most difficult of sale.

The business to-day is estimated at about 8,000 bales, 1,500 being on speculation and for export. In the Liverpool Share Market the business done to-day was flat, with irregular prices. The week's business, indeed, was but small in amountl and the fluctuations in English shares were little more than nominal. To-day, there was a sharp rally in Canadian shares, based on the improved traffic returns. The increase in value was most fully maintained. The business to-day included the subjoined sales :—Glasgow and South-Western, 971 ; Great a Western, 634 ; Lancashire and York shire, 964 ; London and North-Western, 94 ; North Staffordshire, 41d. ; South-Eaitern, 23 ; Buffalo and Lake Huron, 51 ; Great Luxembourg constit, 7 7-16 ; Great Western of Canada, new, ; Liverpool and London Insurance, lip. was very inactive, and prices showed a:down ward tendency.. , Bristol_ and Exeter,.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS The secretaries of the different committeeefer managing the Municipal Elections are respectfully requested to forwayd to the office of this paper, in Leigh-street, timely intimations of all ward and other meetings, in _ order that we may be enabled to send reporters to record the proceedings-. TO CORMAPONDENTS. Short letters are encouraged on matters of public interest. They should be legibly written on one side of the paper only, and contain , (in confidence) the writer's name and address. Under no circumstances can we insert communications not accompanied' by the author's real name and address, not necessarily for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith. gortan TAmts SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1859 TI(E DAY'S NEWS The private telegram received from India, inti— mating that the European troops had acceptedl the bounty and consented to go to China, occa sioned, it seems , „ great satisfaction in London, — damped subsequently, however; by there having been no confirmation of it in any later accounts. These are now awaited with considerable anxiety. Parma is beginning to exhibit some of the more violent results of its revolutionary operations. There has been a fatal disturbance produced by an effort to get up• a conspiracy against the Pro visional Government. The author of the project, Colonel Anviti, has paid the penalty of his life for his temerity. Tranquillity was thereupon restored. But it is doubtful if . it can be long maintained. There has been some mystery., it would seem, as to the destination and the object of the French Naval squadron, which lately sailed for the Me diterranean. It has proceeded,. we now learn, to the African coast,.where, it is stated, the six thousand men it has. on board will disembark, with the view of posting themselves on the fron tiers of Morocco. _ . Austria does not succeed in securing the sup port of Germany.. The note of the Austrian Cabinet, on the subject,. hai been replied to, to the effect that though. the exclusion of that empire from the German Union is not contemplated, yet by the defects of the Federal Cbnstitution, and the recent sudden conclusion of peace in Italy, its support has for the present been rendered im possible. Considerable alarm has been exeited—it would seem somewhat unnecessarily—as to the rapidly failing health of the eminent civil engineer, Mr. Robert Stephenson ; who, we are glad to say, after having suffered a protracted, though not serious indisposition, is now recovering, - although we regret to say he is not quite convalescent, as has been stated. From Tarifa we learn that a gross outrage has been committed: on three British officers belong ing to the garrison of Gibraltar. The officers, it appears, were out shooting, when they were attacked by the Moors, and after much difficulty were compelled to escape in an open boat, in which they were, it is said, exposed seven days without food. One of them is said to have since died of the injuries he sustained. Last night a meeting was held in the Liverpool Institute, Mount-street, for the purpose of in augurating an extended scheme of instruction in the evening classes of the Institute. The meet ing, _which was presided over- by our respected townsman Mr. William Brown, was a very crowded one. The proceedings were of a highly interesting character, and several of the ac knowledged public speakers of the town, includ ing Mr. Brown, the chairman, and Mr. T.. M. Mackay, were present, and addressed the meeting. We have to record the arrival of two vessels from the United States, the Kangaroo—at Liver pool, with $1,570,000 of specie on freight, and the Ocean Queen, at Southampton, with 151,250,000, making in all nearly two millions of dollars received fiom America in one day. The political intelligence is unimportant, and although the San Juan, difficulty continues to furnish an almost unexhaustalale subject for the comments of the American Press, yet the whole matter appears to remain in statu quo. The equinoctial gales have been attended with most disastrous effects in various parts of the States, both inland and on the sea coast, in the former serious freshets being produced, and in the latter violent hurricanes devastating the shipping. WE are no advocates for the invasion of the liberty of the subject; but it is a condition neces sary to the well-being of society at large, that if it can be shown that any particular restriction of it is advantageous to the community, such an expedient is quite justifiable; and, as members of society, we are bound to submit to it at once. In fact, it is a compact which every indi vidual enters into with the State to . which he belongs, that his own personal freedom should only have that exercise which is generally con ducive to the whole body's welfare:. This is a special benefit of civilization,—that the portion of liberty which is given up, and contracted from its normal range in the savage life, obtains for its contraction the counterbalancing gain of security, justice, and order. We do not object to the display of a spirit jealous of any arbitrary and unnecessary infringement of that great boast and privilege of this our country—its liber ties. Any interference with it we would have charily enforced ; valuing highly, as we do, the full and free enjoyment of civil and religious liberty—the very bulwark and independence of our glorious Constitution. Still, we say, there are many occasions whin not only it cannot be avoided, but its exercise is of vital importance to society. We are led to these remarks, from the very important social question involved in the report presented to the Town Council, on Wednesday, by Mr. CLINT, as chairman of the Health Committee, upon a system of public lodging house inspection. The question was not so much as to the desirableness, or otherwise, of a system of superintendence ; as whether a staff appointed by the Health Committee should be invested with the power, or this duty should be performed by the Police Force. We cannot but think it perferable that a special corps should be appointed by the Watch and Health Com mittees, since already the Police have sufficient to occupy their time and attention. The num- ber of lodging-houses are so numerous, and the Jwners so ingerdattS In evading any rules and regulations laid down, that it would fully e mploy the energies and time of any distinct force en rolled for , that -particular. duty. The legitimate labours of the constabulary force are already overtaxed, without entrusting them with the enforcement of sanitary, duties. It is a serv ice which requires great judgment and tact, being , as it 'is, one of much delicacy, least there should be any encroachment of that boast of which we are so proud in England, that every Englis h ' man's-house is his castle. Mr. Councillor EARLE, with his usual acrimony and strong antagonist ic teMperantent, sneered at the report. Ile, in spite of such sneers, it is much to the honour of our town, we consider, that it was the first to originate the basis of those reformatory measure: which have been adopted in the metropolis, an generally attributed to the Christian philanthropy of Lord SHAFTtsZURY. Indeed muchhas been don e in this direction by the authorities of Liverpol' within our own recollection. The first step Wa s closing the cellars where pigs and human beings held one habitation in com mon—generating mephitic odours a low typhoid fever, fiera whi l3chl the courts and alleys were scarcely ever fre c i Looking at the measure in a sanitary point view ; as one in which the general health of the e public is concerned,. and therefore, as such, n u which is:a question of the deepest importance t° the town; there is connected with it another O n :, sideration, equally valuable,—that is, the Inc`l' improvement of that class of individuals 1 1 P ° whom the system of Unproved lodging - ho uses ' i % operate. " Cleanliness; •says an accepted tna "is next to , godliness." It is utterly hopeless f ° expect any - fruits to be borne by our Hom e sionary efforts, and the different actions We en v ploy for the religious reformation of the h umbler classes, unless-we teach them self-respect, decenel; and other social virtues. The separation of tb ir sexes, and the prevention. of all the memb ers `) the same family,—and, indeed, in many instan ce ' of different families—inhabiting the - apartment, will tend, without doubt, to up barriers, to indelicacy, which unfortunT ) . the present crowded state of the humbler dw el l houses in this town has too much broken do e We have no doubt whatever concerning as statement made by Mr. Alderman S. HoLO,,eit to the effect produced upon him, whe n he 'oe that it was " utterly impossible to rem ain in on " o f such crowded- houses for more than three „ " four minutes, and he left absolutely vornitisg:e With_such testimony as- this,. we must all re i ca' f to see the members- of the Council, irrespectiv; any political or party bias,. heartily setting t h e ll selves to the work of improving, by wise and o ur digested provisions, the physical condition of° humbler fellow townsmen.. Much as has done,. of late years,. by the attention directed ere' philanthropic spirits to effect this object, o ' l t , remains yet ample scope for further attentiollthe the crying want ; and we would hail as e chiefest good of the. onward march of this %jig that every working , man shou ld have a cl e f comfortable, and decent habitation—as a liaPr home for his family. Wz. have never seen with regret the full exP re :i sion of the views of the ultra-advanced Liber; party. On the contrary, we have ever regar d 4, the declamations of Joint BRIGHT and his folln • se , ers, as contributing, to preserve our pollehe constitution from complete destruction. of views enunciated by the most Radical sectiO 50 that party are so extravagant, their prineiPlett revolutionary, their reforms so sweeping' ° oe d indifferent and. easy-going politicians a re . r t , are into action and_ enthusiasm : progression -le v.ses startled into comparative moderation .
