Bowes and Brother's Circular The Wool Market, by private contract, ,hais, not, during . the last few weeks,' exhibited anyi important feature: Although he. demand has at times been piiet, it has been sufficient 'to absorb at full prices the moderate arrivals of most classes of medium and coarse Wools. Con sumption continued large and stocks moderate. The domestic clip, now about commencing, is looked to with some anxiety, and on account of ungenial weather, the weight will 15robably be less than that of last year, while of old, Wool there ie less than an average quantity on hand'; nolwitlif standing this, the present high range of valud causes buyers to proceed with caution, but the relative position of production and consumption inclines many to the belief that in the absence of political or other 'extraneous disturbing causes, present-prices are likely to be maintained. Pub lic sales are advertised to be held at Antwerii . on the 27th and 28th instant, when about 3,000 bales Buenos Ayres will be offered ; at Rotterdam' on the oth July, consisting of 1,539 bags ; Cape, 677 Port Philip, 227 Buenos Ayres, and 42 Bom bay; and at Rotten on the 14th instant, of 650 Russian Merino, 200 Buenos Ayres, and 250 Australian.' The Liverpool sales will commence about one month hence, when 13,000 to 14,000 bales East India, besides other Wools, will be offered. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The LONDON MARKET for ENGLISH .SwocK.s to-day opened with flatness -and a dull business; Consols being quoted at a slight decline from the late prices of yesterday ; but afterwards there was rather more firmness, though no great increase of activity. Consols for money were marked at 95, and 954 to I for the July account. Bank Stock has been dealt in at 2294 ; Reduced Three per Cents., 931 and i . New 'rhrees, 93-1, and Z. ; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 100 ; New Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 79 ; India Stock, 2244 and 221 ; Ditto Debentures, 961 and 964; En faced Rupee Paper, 961, and Ondia Bonds, 7s and 4s dis.; and Exchequer Bills, 115 pro* large and small.

Consols closed 4- to 4 per cent. lower than yesterday. The other departments of the Stock Exchange were firm in the morning, and comparatively dull at the close. There was a fair demand in discount at 34- to 4 per cent. for the best bills. Little business was done, however, at the Bank.—Daily News. The English Funds experienced a slight. decline, which continued after regular hours. The movement was chiefly caused by a few sales for delivery.; and the operations in connection with the settlement' whichtakes place to . -Morrow. There were, however, some idle reports afloat, the most prominent of which was, that Lord John Russell had resigned, in consequence of ttie impending fate of the Reform Bill. The ripply;iof money in the discount market was abundant, at rates below those of the Bank. The railway market closed with steadiness, a fraction better than yesterday. The Bank has pm-chased no gold to-day. —Times. In the LONDON MARKET for FOREIGN STOCKS to-day'enlY a inoderate business has been done, and values have not sensibly varied from those of last night.

In the House of Commons yesterday, tie principal subject of debate was the cclesiastical Commission Bill; on the * Motion for. its , second reading. Mr. Selwyn objected to it as centralising and confiscatory ; and invOlVitig vast expense compensation. The bill transferred the property of the deans and chapters to the management of the ecclesiastical commission, and these dignitaries would henceforth ; become mere stipendiaries, and their, rights of ownership :would be destroyed: The change would further entail the loss of their offices as the clerks of the chapter, and who cou'd claim compensation in consequence. Mr. Mowbrzy thought it was susceptible of much improvemert, and would be better if recast. Lord H. Vane thought many of its prpvisions highly objection able. Lord J. Manners reprobated the principle of the bill, which increased . the powers of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, made the *commis sion itself perpetual, and tended to vest the entire mass_of el - turekp_roperty inthe.hands of an irre sponsible body. Mr. Newdegato objected to a bill so complicated, that it would be useless. After considerable discussion the. debate, was adjourned. • From Sicily we learn , that the armistice has been prolonged until the 7th instant (to-day). The Constitutionnel, speaking of the difficult poSition of the' Royalist troops at Palermo, says, that if the insurgents and Italian volunteers should get possession of the houses adjoining the fortress, the service of the artillery in the fortieSs would be rendered extremely perilous, as the gunners would I.le..exposed:(o the fire of the 'riflemen. The great number of soldiers in the fortress is also injurious to the defence ; first, because the enemy's fire will have greater hold upon their ranks; and next, because the - Neapolitan ffeet at anchor in the port is not numerous enough to take on board all-the-merr - when a retreat becomes inevitable ; those left behind would, therefore, be under the necessity, of-laying down their arms. - The direct steamer from Messina brings news to the 3rd instant. The city was deserted—all merehandise had ' been einbarked-Lalf the consuls had left, excepting M. Doulard, the French Consul, who was transporting his effects to the Descartes, on board of which he would retire as soon as th e city-should b e b ese i g ed, or , become the theatre of fighting. • The Supreme Committee of Palermo had announced in the name of the Dictator, that a vote will be taken on the question of annexation to Sardinia. The inhabitants of other towns- in insurrection had requested the neighbouring communities to send in - provisions. The whole of Palermo was barri: caded and fortiffed. Garibaldi had a great numbu of grenades at his disposal. Other royal troop 9 stationed in. the neighbourhood of the Custon't-house had gone over to Garibaldi with arms and ammunition. Influence was also exer cised by Garibaldi's agents in the other portiors of the Neapolitan. army. It was said that there wore 2,000 sick and wounded among the royal troops. 1,000 volunteers from Cagliari had dia., embarked at Marsala. . The English admiral had announced'the Signature of the armistice. In the affair at Catania the peasants fought well, but were ultimately repulsed. The Neapolitans lost 200 men. Orders had - been given to the various bands of insurgents to concentrate for the 'final combat. • The Overland Mail, from India, brings, news oi a fierce controversy raging at Bombay awl Calcutta, about the new 'lndian budget. The season throughout India has been ,at once the most . pleasant, and the most deadly, within; meinory: Cholera has been committing fearful ravages. The troops are suffering comparatiVely little. The overland mail from China informs us that favourable". WindS were fist bringing in numer ous and men-of-war, both froth Europe and India:• i-The French force was rapidly in . creasing ; ; ',seyei•al heavy ships, with about -3,000 troops oh . board, having arrived between ;mails. The tWri French generals of brigade had arrived, so that the staff of generals ; of both, nations was complete. It was reported from Shanghai that the ultimatum had again been . sent,to the Chinese, but unacCOmpanied by the demandfor indethnity. It was anticipated that if this were the fact, its effect would be to embolden the Chinese Govern ment, and render it still more rash. In the event of hostilities, it was understood that no blockade would be enforced to the southward of the Gulf of Pecheli. The rebels in the neighbourhood of Canton were causing great injury to . trade. The tea season was expected to be a good one, It is said that an understanding between Prussia . and tho middle states of ,Germany will be brought abOut by an interview at Baden between the Prince Regent of Prussia and.severat German sovereigns: The Moniteur states that, as the health of Prince Jerome continues to improve, no more daily bulletins, will be;published. ' General dissatisfaction with the French Treaty of Commerce is being'freely expressed. British manufacturers find that, by the treaty, the system' under which their home trade has been conducted, and more besides, have been thrown into inextri cable confusion. They are now invited to pro ceed to plead before the French Commissioners, not for favour, but for commercial existence. have English manufacturers come to this humi liating pass? Is this the triumph of Mr. Cob den's diplomacy ? There is, however, too good rea son ,to, suspect that the English delegates who may attend before the commissioners in Paris will give more than they are likely to get. The Frenchwau to ascertain how they may best compete with us, and thisvommissionieeni l s i l vermikely to be the means of i;rocuri n fhb inforination they desiderate. Hahing thus*" qualified thhieselveS'to enter the fief(' agai nst,' England, fs t t at all likely that they will feel disposed to mai+ ,anyloluntary conces sions in.. favnnr of their E i nglish rivals ?

A Dock Warrants Advance—and Discount Company isiryttmrse- of formation; with` "capital of £29Q,00 . 0 in 15 shares: -The intention is to grant lOaris ori dock and wharf warrants _at, the_ current discount rates and a " small commission:" to save traders frOm a resort to "usurious money lenders:7 The proinoters point ',out that in a business of this description, regulated accordiqg to the.nature and market value of the goods, " los§,cafi accrue." ThehiiforY7sl - Liiiiibarritieet, however, during the last fifteen years, would •show 'that there is .some: diffidultp.in atta'ssating perfect safety in such transactions. . -L . The Town Council Yesterday sanctioned a pro position of the greatest importance, for the sale of the corporate property Birkenhead. With reference to the bill now before Parliament in reference to the tolls on the river, it was exPlitined that the charges made were intended only to empower the ferry' proprietors' to make a com position with the Dock BOard,—which is deemed a most reasonable arrangement. It was unani mously agreed to grant sum not exceeding ,c;poo, ,towards the, expenses .of opening the Free Public Library, if such sun) shall be auoilabk out of the' surplus ineiinie of the present year—the latter provision being necessary to enable the Council legally to vote any sum for' such a-Impose, —and the omission` of which in the motion for the grant, was the sole cause. of its , rejection -at a former meeting. A' memorial, signed by .5,190 persons, praying 'that' the rotincil would see fit to rescind the bye-litiv: prohibiting: cabmen from smoking when on a stand waiting for hire, after a' lengthened and, rather interesting discussion, was remitted to :the Watch Committee; which virtually means that the bye-law is to'be repealed, and the cabmen are to 'be allowed to enjoy a smoke- on' the cab-stand. The thanks of the Council, accompanied doubtless by the gratitude of 'every inhabitant of !LiVerpObl, 'are - to 130 Con veyed to the* Earl of Leicester for a full-length portrait of the • celebrated Roscoe,' by. 5.... M.. Shee, which hi& lordship has offered to the town, as the birth-plaCe_ of that_great_ . literary_Celebrity. The consideration of the report recommending the proceeding, to Parliament for owers to make the proposed town improVements, and also of the report of the special committee on the erection of public -offices, was. postponed '.until the reportiNthe Finance Committee as to the powers of ti4Cor poration should be brought up. - "We have frequently had occasion to refer to the insufficiency of the Mersey ferry steamers for the traffic they are employed in. We haVe hailed .with cordial satiSfaCtion the landable',.efforts of the Commissioners of Wallasey to provide siiitable boats for the . three important ferries of Sca.combe, Egremont, and .New 'Brighton. Not only will they be great gainers by such a. design, if yroperly and spiritedly - carried out; but.we.anticipate that their good example will operate as a healthy stimu lus to the authorities elsewhere, on both banks of tieriver„to.reform the present system altogether. The Cominisisioners who have begun this enter prise deserve, and we doubt' plot will - receive, hearty _sympathy and ail . re+iisite encourage-, ment, from the public on either side of the river. A most important' statement 'of facts bearing on this interesting subject will be found in a letter we giVe to-daY from a gentleman Whom we know to be what he "signs himself, " A Practical Man." He demonstrates, in. the ; most forcible and conclu sive manner, that the gigantic traffic. on the river demands an entirely different and superior, class of steamers. The management or mismanagement of the Birkenhead Hospital has been the subject of some c3rrespondeneein 'our columns. "A Visitor" has made certain charges, which' "'A Plain Man" endeavours to meet. ' We have no knowledge of the.merits of the question, and, of course, hold our opinion in suspense. The charges brought forward ,by ".A Visitor" are of a nature, and come from a'cinarter, that demand a full anckeon elusive answer ; and if, as we hope they arc, founded on•mis t appiehension, Wci shall le!the first to denounce the calumny. On the otliet!hand, if improVenient is rcallY needed, the more urgently it is demanded the better. In giving "A Plain Mitit'S" answer; 'iv° !mist remark that We.think some more satisfactory reply is likely to be looked for,—were it. only for the better exoneration of the management. nivE REMEDY FOR STRIPEAi ..... TUE evil effects 'Of''strikes, 'and even strikes themselves, spring from causes more deeply seatfd in the body: politic than thoiiiiVnere . fy.Eartifictal combinations out of which they more immediately arise. 'The misery, diseae, and• death which have: penetrated the homes of thousands, on such deplergblenceasions, have been painted, over and • , over again, with harrowing effect. On Trades •men's,Uttions, as the .more.,osteneible and-imme diate causes of strikes, • has been heaped all tie odium of such disasters:; against,them has been -levelled all the indignation of a commiserating public; to avoid them, modify them, or suppress them; by whatever procese,' has been deemed the first requisite in.securing the future welfare of the masses. -Every effort to prevent their forma , tion, and to coax or drive men out of them, hiving faded, various ; temporising and conciliaj, tory devices. have been tried as checks upon their. operations-, with but , little effect of ft-desirable or, Perinanent kind. Mistakeii . philanthrop4ts may use their Utinoa . exeitiOn 7 s . to Persuade the' work ing man, that 4uck cembinations.are wrong, and: that they ought not to be entered into, be-the • . consequence what it may'; ,but :they' Will never make one step of . progrevp until they are able to ,prove to each man's mind, that :these societies are .really the reverse of, beneficial, to his interest and comfort. At present, working - men think that in the end they best consult their own interest by joining such societies, and until they come to think' differently, the- philosopher may go on to argue, end the moralist - continue to denounce, 'bid in doing so 'they r mg only offend .against their lungs by much useless talking. To reach the real source of all the mischief—to get at the- root fitilt which these unions come forth as if natural, howeverpoisonous, fruits, we must strike below the surface. If we would prevent the grow th of those noxious weeds, we must not merely cut Urn to the ground, but clear out .the soil and carefully remove the seed. It is but a waste of time to exhaust our efforts in attempting to destroy the blOSsora while the plant remains firmly- roOted and growing .strenger by ill-judged efforts to repress it. To effect the cure we must first ascertain the cause; and then , direct all our efforts to its extinction. It may be difficult to arrive • at a wholly correct conclusion as to the true eausei of this great evil; but we have this 'encouragement! to , persevere, that every step we successfully make in the discovery and "exposure of the source, brings us so much ; nearer .the.„solution of thel whole difficulty, and the permanent, Annihilation of the evils arising out of it. Trades Unions spring from a consciousness of the .exceeding feebleness of theOvorking classel in adjusting for- themselves,, seParately,and vidually, those important business ariangementsi which directly concern 'their own immediate and material interests. :nose Unions—ciesigned to establish-the strength of the workingmen in corn,' binatien, are a plain'ani undeniablettinfession of individual feebleness. The universal consciousness of this nersonal inadequacy has driven the f ina . sses to endeavour to secure, by the strength of nUm hers acting together, advantages which they believeto be othOrWise beyond their attainment. , It is most natural that they should do - so;, and no power on earth can prevent them. They only do what might be expected of them in the circum stances; and what all men, high and low, do when similarly situated. Union is strength ; and a sense of in dividual weakness seeks its easiest remedy : iri union. The Unions necessarily involve the possi-' bility of strikes and all their attendant evils. If we would overcome and remove these we mast begin with the, individual, and remove frc6% the mind that paralysing s , nse of weakness and the conse quent feeling of dependence ; on artificial aid. Ethicate'and , enlighten every Man until he feels so thoroughly independent, and self-reliant that he can cheerfully anticipate every difficulty arising from the mutabilitics of trade, and the effects of free competition, and we shall hear no more of Unions. This remedy is certain, even if its operation should be slow. The great, and only remaining difficulty is, how to aceemiplish it. • e : To make education effective in 'Siterseding the supposed necessity for TradeS UniOnS,. we Must have a very different class of schoolmasters, and quite another style of , school_ lessons, to be taught and 'expounded • with more practical efficiency than We have yet been accustomed to. Much has been done and more is doing to im prove our system of education ; but a great deal still remains to be 'done ; and the cause of educa tion must yet enlist` far more of public 'attention before thatireat question can be settled satisfac torily, or much progress be effected. The object we have now in view will be one of the most certain results of providing a sound, practical, and healthy education for the general body of the . . people. Let quasi reformers cease for a time to waste session after session of Parliament in use less if not insincere discussions about questionable Reform Bills, and apply their time and resources to the improvement and elevation of tholnasses, by securing to them the inestimable blessings of useful knowledge. That which too 'commonly passes for education at- the • present day is, to a great extent, good for nothiak, in a practical point of view, especially among what are called the lower,, classes. Did it fall within the scope of Out present argument, we might show 'how viaiteful and comparatively fruitless is the' cinnbrOus anctcostly educational system pursued by the Wealthier•classes.-- They, however, can afford to spend a great part of their lives . .. in being saturated. wi th, a kind, of instruction much of which is utterly useless: 7: The evils and deficiencies of the present system, in their case, are to some extent counteracOd and supplied by ameliorating and ,refining influences which wait only upon those whose lot has fortunately been cast in the higher walks of social life.. For the working man, however, we must have an education suited: to:, his condition of life; to be communicated plainly and practically without unnecessary waste' of •time or - means ; and its great objects must .be — lo enable him, at ps fr early an age, as may be desirable, to obtain the g‘atest remuneration for his labour ; and to make the best use of his Money when he has earned it. We must impart to each Working man the full use of hid productive faculties; instruction as to the vulious ways in which these .may be most succesSitilly turned , to account; and information •requisite to enable him most economically to apply theiruits of his labour for his own support and comfort. This is the only kind of education that will avail anything- in securing to him thoge . 'adrvantages which an imperfectly• educated population now seek to secure by the jarring . and utterly insuffi cient means of trade societies and strikes. _ The gross and glaring deficiencies o f our pre sent system of education for the humbler classes are notorious, and we need scarcely point. out how far it falls short of securing the requisites we desiderate. 'What is the general character of the instructions given in those schools where the children of our artisans are broughb up, and what effect'do they Produce . on them in after life ? Is it true, that while they are minutely informed as to the names and localities of cities and provinces which for thousands of years have_ politically ceased to exist, they' are too often left entirely ignorant of the geography, history, and resources of the town and county 'in which they live ? Are they filled with marvellous and apocryphal accounts of streams and waters whose very exist ence is neat' to mythical, while they are left all but uninfornied :of the 'navigation. of their own coast or the adjoining,.arm.a.the_aea?.....Are heY taught to pride themselves on their intimacy with the shrines and devotions of heathen superstition, while thel l knoW nothing of the various rel4ious denominations whose , places of worship surround their habitations in every direction? Is it thought,of more consequence to initiata them into, the mysteries of the various forms of government which we are told succeeded each other in , countries whose power was fading even before the — ciiiiiiiiencernent of the Christian . era, than *that: they should, understand 'the relative splieils and jurisdictions of .our own local boards and our higher forms of national administration ? While we instruct our youths in the names and acts of rulers and magistrates who once distinguished them- selves inlthe histories of ancient peoples, do we, omit all mention to them of .those statesmen, judges, magistrates, and officials under whose administration and rulethey t and all that they are or. can be, happen to have been placed. -.ln..teach ing modern •soience,- shall we waste the time of the rising generation, and oppress their Memories : with lists` of technica 1 and witneaninOiames, while they scarcely 4 are able to tell you the: scientific difference between a potato and a chesnut ? In "short, is it not the case that a great proportion of the isolated morsels of khow- . ledge generally communicated to the children of the htimbler classes are of the nature of vague abstractions,imperfectly committed to treacherous memories, which, in the actual tear and wear of life, rapidly grow dim, and finally •disappear,---:, leaving the adult workman adrift on the shoreless gulf of ignorance, rudderless, and without anchor or 'COmpass whereon to trust the safety of his tempest-driven barque Is it not the truth that our uninformed population, in too many cases, look upon the law and its execution as a system inimical to mankind, and receive their firs - practical lesscin of the functio - ns arid powers of the magistrate in a prison cell ? How true is it that Much, if not most, of the wisdoin that is ltd be found among the humbler classes has been acquired too late to be useful to themselves, and as the result of having disobeyed great social and political laws, which they were never able' to comprehend ; or of having come into violent collision with institutions under which they havU lived, but of whose existence they were scarcely aware until the penalty of their ignorance had been incurred ?—thus learning what prudence' they may, like errant. : dogs, .from the kicks bestowed on them as trespassers ! Under the present inadequate system of educe tion it is a mere mockery to talk to the people of those 'laws of political economy which directly militate against Unions and Strikes.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-YESTERDAY. Sir J. FERGUSON gave notice that to-morrow, on going iota committee on the Reform Bill, he should move that the corn. mitten be postponed till after the second reading of the scotch and Irish reform bills. On the motion for the second reading of the Ecelessiastical Commis3ion Bill, ' Mr Scbwrtumoved, as an- amendment, that the bill be read a second tinie that day six months, objecting to it as centralis 7 . . ing and confiscatory, and involving vast expense in comp ensa . ticn. The bill transferred the property of the deans and chapters to the management of the ecclesiastical commission, and these dignitaries would henceforth become mere stipen diaries, and their rights of ownership would be destroyed, The change would further entail the loss . of their others as the clerks of the chapter, who could claim compensation in consequence. Mr. Alderman Corr.LANn seconded the amendment, advising that the bill be withdrawnuntil the nouse was in possession of further information. Mr. FREELAND supported the bill, as a step in the right direction. He tidniitted its defects, which, however; might be amended in committee. Sir G. C. Lnwis said that the bill originated in a committee of that Rouse, of which Lord. John Russell was chairman ; it passed the Commons, but too late to pass the Lords ; it had subsectuently been sanctioned by a committee Of that House. The present bill was not a government measure, bat he sup ported its principles, and hoped that it might be allowed to go into committee. Mr.ltiowintAywould not reject a bill which had been sanc- tion4d,by two distinct committees; it was, however, susZePti ble of:rmr improvement, and would be better if recast and divided into three separate bills. Lord H. VASE thought many of the provisions of the bill highly objectionable, but would not oppose the second reading, believing that legislation was necessary. He trusted that in committee due regard would be had to existing interests. Lord 4. MANNgItS reprobated the principle of the bill, which increased the powers of the ecclesiastical commissioners, made the commission itself perpetual, and tended to vest the entire mass of church property in the hands of aziirresponsible body: After some remarks from Mr. Ingham, Mr. C., Howaitn, While supporting the bill, censured the conduct of the commissioners, especially in regard to their proceedings towards small livings.
