The Liverpool Corn Market, this morning, was moderately attended ; the tone of the Wheat trade is firm, and we have a fair steady sale for all descriptions of quality at the full prices of this day week ; in some instances a small im provement has been made.—Flour is also in tolerable request at the extreme rates of our last. —Egyptian Beans in moderate demand without change in value.—Oats have advanced ld per bushel ; but Oatmeal remains without improve ment, and the sale to the country is slow.—lndian Corn is less inquired for to-day, the advance already made being firmly insisted on, amounting to I s per quarter over the currencies of Tuesday last.—Since this day week we have had change able weather, with a preva lence of high winds and rain, and generally a temperature much too cold for the season of the year; agricultural operations have, however, proceeded rapidly, an d the appearance of the growing Wheat crop is reported as much improved. On account of the holiday, there was no market here on Friday, and the same cause has interfered with business in other districts towards the close of last week; still, after the previous liberal buying and the consequent advance in prices of Wheat, a con tinued activity could not be calculated upon in the absence of any exciting causes, and the trade in this grain throughout the country has ruled somewhat dull, without alteration in prices in most, though in some few instances they have been rather weaker. The Continental business with this country has also been slow, on account of high rates prevailing in the foreign market, and though America was cheaper for Wheat and Flour prices still ruled too high for European export, and the reduction will be soon reversed on the receipt of further accounts from this side. Here, we have fully maintained our previous currencies for Wheat and Flour, with moderate transactions daily, but an active inquiry has again sprung up for Indian Corn on the spot at an advance of is per quarter , and considerable transactions are reported, which would have been further extended but for the indisposition of holders to offer. Our supplies of all articles are light this week ; the only import from America is 559 quarters of Indian Corn. ARRIVALS AND EXPORTS From the 3rd to the 9th April, 1860, inclusive.

Owing to the advance in the homeward rates from India, a large amount of tonnage has been offering outwards, which has tended to reduce the coal freights, vessels having to accept fully 3s per ton less than paid last week. As there is but little demand for ships outwards at present, lower rates than our quotations would have to be taken to place a ship. Demand for tonnage homeward continues to improve, which fully compensates for the fall in rates. To U.S. ports tonnage is not quite so abundant, and we look for some improve- ment on our quotations.

LONDON, TUESDAY In the LONDON MARKET for ENOL: :VEXING. :SH STOCKS, to-day, there has been little business doing, and prices at the opening tended to heaviness, but no material decline resulted, and at the later period of the morning greater firmness became apparent, though no positive advance has been established on the quotations of last night. Consols are now at 944 to tl , and 94i to for the May account. Bank Stock has been dealt in by special transfer at 226 ; Reduced Three per Cents., 921 93 and 92 i ; New Three per Cents., at same ; New Two and-a-Half per Cents., 79 and 781 ; India Deben tures, 97 ; Enfaced Rupee Paper, 981 and ; the Five-and-a4lalf per Cent. ditto, 104 ; India Bonds under £l,OOO, 5 pm. ; and Exchequer Bills, 12. 88 and 12s pm. The. Funds closed at the following prices : Consols, Money ~ Account 94; I Exchequer Bills Bank. Stock 224 6 Three per Cents The following appeared in our second edition of yesterday : The attendance in the Stock Exchange to-day was thin, and business was limited. The funds were flat. Notwithstanding the dulness of consols, a further advance took place in British railway stocks in the afternoon. The payment of the dividends commenced this &IT In Lombard-street there is still little relaxa tion in the rat es' 4a to 6 per cent. being asked upon very good bill s . £lO,OOO in gold was withdrawn from the Bank to-day for exportation.—Daily News. Although there has been no increase of political distrust, and the payment of the dividends commenced this morning, the English funds have been heavy throughout the day. There was a diminution of pres sure in the discount market, but the quarterly loans from the Bank are now in course of repayment, and the demand, therefore, is . likely to remain active during the greater part of the week Mexican stock declined in consequence of the renewal of the siege of Vera Cruz, and the contradiction of the flight of Miramon. About £60,000, chiefly in gold, has been sent to Brazil by the steamer sailing to-day.—Times. The LONDON RAILWAY SHARE MARKET today was inactive, but firm in tone, and with a tendency towards further improvement. London and North- Westerns are officially marked 99i to 100, Great Westerns 691 to t, Midlands 1181. Great North erns have advanced to 1141, Caledonians 911 to 921, and South-Easterns 88i to 891.

The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of £5,641; the South-Eastern, an increase of £4,479. The increase in the latter is understood to 16 - 1001 3 arise principally from the through traffic from Dover ' and France. The Times city article contains a serious exposition on the state and prospects of the two great railways of Canada, whose aggregate capital, chiefly derived from English shareholders, amo unts to £19,000, 000 sterling , and the shares in which axe respectively at a discount of 37 and 64 per cent. The opinion is expressed that these lines are speculations rather than investments, which cannot fail to increase greatly in value. 1 In the LONDON MARKET for FOREIGN SECURI TIES to-day transactions have been on a limited scale only ; but as a rule, values are fairly sup . orted.

The transactions in the private contract market have been in— SUGAR.—Two cargoes of Havana afloat for the United Kingdom at full prices. COFFEE.—A cargo of good Rio sold for Gothen- burgh. TEA.—The demand has been very limited. RICE remains firm, and a fair amount o business done. Rum in limited demand. In other articles no alteration.

In the LONDON MINING MARKET to-day there were numerous inquiries for dividend paying shares. The principal transactions have been in shares in Wheal Clifford, Treloweth, Wheal Sea ton, Wheal Mary Ann, Tincroft, and Kelly Bray. Prices are well supported. Foreign and Colonial Mining Shares have been little dealt in, and pre sent little change in price. The BOROUGH HOP MARKET.—Owing to the holidoys scarcely any business is doing in Hops to-day, and prices are almost nominal.

THE DAY'S NEWS. The propriety of our Minister at Turin accom panying the King of Sardinia in his royal pro gress through his new Italian dominions is, we cannot but think, very questionable. It is osten tatiously set forth that " the British Ambassador, Sir J. Hudson, by orders from London, will be in attendance on his Majesty during his tour of inauguration." This is certainly to identify England with the new order of things in a way that is not only quite unnecessary, but may prove very mischievous. Such revolutionary pro ceedings in Italy, however excusable they may in some measure have been under the c;:mumstances, are creating dangerous precedents, and they may some day or other be found so even by England herself. The less, therefore, we are identified with them the better, for our own future peace and security as a kingdom. Not Austria only, but other Pewers of Europe with whom it is most desirable to preserve a good understanding, will be very prone to regard our conduct in that respect with jealousy and dislike. It were no doubt very absurd of the Russian organ, Le Nord, giving expression to such an idea as that of England having indirectly favoured the insurrections in Sicily and in Spain. The simple fact of these two movements being directed to utterly opposite political objects, were quite sufficient to show the absurdity of such an impu tation. But then we have made ourselves suspected, through the officiousness of the present Foreign Secretary. Lord John Russell's correspondence with the British Minister at Naples exhibited not only a meddlesomeness of disposition towards a government with which we have no business to interfere, but contained incitements to revolu tionary agitation which might well create suspi cion. And if Russia herself really suspects England of such designs as are now imputed, it cannot but have a most mischievous elect. . . The Duke of Cambridge is doubtless well quali fied to speak on the subject of our national defences; and the account he gave of them at the Lord Mayor's Easter banquet, where his was almost the only speech of any public interest, was by no means unsatisfactory. Although we are not reputed to be a military nation, yet, he con tended, there was no army in Europe which could beat us in any respect, and ho trusted the country would never allow the efficiency of the two services to be impaired. Costly as we all know it is to maintain the efficiency of our naval and military armaments, yet it is true economy, be argued, to do so, in order that we may always be prepared to stand on the defensive. " Nothing," said his Royal Highness, " can be more lamen table than a constant succession of panics. The extraTagance which ensues from them it is impos sible to estimate. A wise and judicious annual expenditure is far less burdensome and much more effective for its object." We were already aware of the Duke's high opinion of our Volun teer corps; and he repeated his expression of it on this occasion. The ominous absence of her Majesty's Minis ;ers, one and all, from the Lord Mayor's Easter banquet, is pointedly and significantly remarked upon by the Morning Herald of yesterday,—Lord John Russell's absence, in particular, as being one of the representatives of the city in Parlia- ment, it is declared, "unless it arose from actual ill-health, was either a studied indignity or a cowardly desertion of his post ; and we cannot," continues our contemporary, " wonder at the uncomplimentary contrasts that were everywhere drawn between the straightforward conduct of the late Administration and the system of evasion that characterises the proceedings of the present Cabinet." That there was a cause why Ministers should keep away, may readily be conceived. They are, unhappily in a position when evasion is, with such politicians, quite unavoidable, if they are called upon to say anything ; and the most effectual kind of evasion, they doubtless thought, was to evade the occasion altogether. We quite agree with the opinion, that "if Lord John Rus sell had any news of a satisfactory nature to communicate, the opportunity would not have been lost." And then, there is the veteran Premier, who "excels in the art of selecting occasions, nor does any man know how to ride the British lion more artistically ;" but who could let " this obviously fitting moment pass by ; though it is perfectly clear that every week's delay and incertitude add to the distrust and deep suspense with which the foreign policy of the present Administration is regarded." Such are the very natural reflections to which such conduct has given rise. Obviously the absence of her Majesty's Ministers on an occasion when they are accustomed to be present, and at a moment when they might give assurance that all was well, was anything but an encouraging sign. Yesterday was the anniversary of a day of anxiety and apprehension in the metropolis twelve years ago,—the memorable 10th of April, 1848 ; and the Times takes occasion to give an appropri ate lecture-leader upon it. It was a day, we are reminded, "when 150,000 special constables, sworn in within a few days, held the streets of London to protect it from the mob. The enemy which then threatened us happily exists no more. It was discontent, the child of hunger, working upon the poor and ignorant artisan, and increased by the oratory of professional agitators. Things have now wholly changed. In 1848, liberal legislation had already removed a chief cause of periodical distress, and the bounty of Heaven has done the rest. Good harvests, good cotton crops, the gold discoveries, and emigration, have given meat or taken away the mouths. Chartism is dead, killed by the food which has strengthened and invigorated its former votaries. At the pre sent time no cry can be got up even for a moderate Parliamentary Reform, and the ranters who were great weu for six weeks in 1848, have wholly sunk out of public notice." This is, in the main, a tolerably One account of the time. Too much is imputed, perhaps, to the political discontent that prevailed as being "the child of hunger, working upon the poor and ignorant artisan." The Whigs and Radicals had quite as much to answer for in the matter as hunger had; and the revolutionary spirit in France, and elsewhere on the Continent, having got a-head, and carrying all before it, the infection was easily caught here among those whom Whig and Radical instigations had so well prepared for its reception. 1$ I,lt Amy the enemy which thus threatened us happily e*isis rlo more," we have yet got another and a more formidable one, against whose machinations it has been thought prudent to provide, not 150,000 special con stables, but twice that number of Volunteer Rifle men and Artillerymen. And strange to think, this very enemy, or his impersonation, was him self' one et' the 150,000 special constables that "held the streets o f I.4cqq.on " on the 10th of April, 1848 ! Tempora mutanter, iucked; And truly is it declared, that " the Volunteers of 1860 must go to their work in a far more earnest spirit " than did those of a day in 1848. " They have a more powerful, although a more distant foe than the half fed Chartist—a foe directed by heads more subtle than poor Feargus O'Con noF's ; " and " to be worthy of the task they have undertaken they must recollect that mere enthu siasm and patriotic feeling will do little without steady perseverance, and that on tho field of battle a general would sooner have a position undefended than held by men upon whom he cannot depend." Such is the advice which the leading journal, at sncla a moment, deems it opportune to offer. Let as hope it will bo acted upon. The French Emperor is evidently afraid of the animosity of the Clergy, and he is preparing, accordingly, to keep them down. He has just ordered an inquiry to be instituted into the origin of the property held by religious communities, and also erected an injunction to be addressed to the lave-officers in the departments, as to the prosecution of all clerical offenders against the organic law of the Concordat, without any respect of persons. There is China news to the 20th of February. They were getting very uneasy at Pekin, it is stated, about the preparations of the Allies to obtain redress for the outrage in the Peiho. They had made a re-disposal of the guns of certain of their forts, in readiness, no doubt, fora defence against the attack that was apprehended. Affairs in Japan itre epresented as being still in an unsettled state. The accounts from Calcutta 9xe to the 14t4 of March. There have been some outrages Jy the natives in Lower Bengal ; but steps were immedi ately taken by the Lieut. Governor to suppress them, which would no doubt have the desired effect. THERE can be no more objection to financial reform than to any other kind of reform,—pro vided only it is a reform that is actually needed, and the principle or It is in accordance with the constitution of that to which it is t 9 lie applied ; so that it may really and truly be reform, awl not revolution. But the worst of it is, that our chiefest and noisiest reformers, so-called, are not reformers at all, but something far more dangerous and destructive ; men seeking not to improVe, but to subvert. They persuade themselves, perhaps, that to subvert is, in their case, to improve. But this is not the qtiestion; if it were, one might doubtless very easily show that, while subversion is not reformation, neither would it be improve ment. Now our financial reformers are in this category, as well as so many of our parliamentary ones are. They 4re Radicals, in the strongest and worst sense of the word. Our Liverpool Financial Reform Association is a society of ram pant Radicals, who seek to revolutionise our whole system of national finance ; just as they who are parliamentary reformers seek to change our whole constitutional system, and make it no longer monarclical, but republican. They pretend that reforms such as they propose are necessary, nay, inevitable, in an age of "progress" like the present. "hey quote Dr. ARNOLD, when he says,—" There s nothing so revolutionary, because there is nothing so unnatural, and so convulsive to society, as the strain to keep things fixed, when all the vorld is, by the very law of its creation, in eternal progress ; and the cause of all the evils of tie world may be traced to that natural, but most deadly, error of human indo lence, and corruption, that our business is to preserve, and lot to improve." Thus do they affect to believ), that we who object to their Radicalism, do bo as objecting to all change; whereas the fac•, is, we do so because, instead of reforming it is arbverting—instead of improving it is deteriora.t4g. They quote also Lord BACON when he says,—" If time alters things to the worse, and wisdom and counsel - shall not alter them to the better, what shall be the end ?" The end will be the destruction of those things— there can be no doubting that. And for this very reason true Conservatism would seek to "alter them to thebetter." But Radicalism wants to alter them to the worse, by overturning them altogether. We quite agree with them when they declare, that "to say that no changes shall take place, is to talk idly. One might as well pretend to control the motions of the earth. To resolve that none shall take place except what are undesigned and accidental, is to resolve that though a clock may gain or lose indefinitely, at least we will take care that it shall never be regulated." Here is the very word to our hand to explain the difference between our reform 'and theirs. "Be regulated,"—that is what Conser vatives seek. The changes they advocate are for ;he regulation of what has got out of order—the reform of what has come to be amiss. Let us view for a moment Lord J. RUSSELL'S Reform Bill in this light. It is a measure that goes a pretty long way as a concession to those who, like Mr. JOHN BRIGHT, would transfer all political power from the respectable hands which now hold it, to those of the lower class of the people,—who desire . actually to swamp the re spectability and intelligence of the nation, by an overwhelming inundation of the democracy. The votes of all those who are best qualified, and therefore most entitled to exercise the elective franchise in a monarchical system such as ours, — or, indeed, any political system that is to secure order and good government,—are to be over powered by the votes of an indiscriminate multi- tude, with scarcely any qualification, and therefore no claim at all to possess them. It may doubtless be, as they tell us, " that hurtful changes are often attributed to harmless ones ; and apprehen sions are entertained that a change, however small, is necessarily a dangerous thing, as tending to produce extensive and hurtful innovations." But such changes as are proposed in the Minis terial Reform Bill are neither small nor harmless ones, opening the door, as they would inevitably do, to the most sweeping innovations upon the system to which they are to be applied— unclosing the flood-gates which now preserve us from a democratic deluge which would soon carry away, by its resistless force, all the very land marks of a Constitution that has raised us to the highest eminence among the nations of the earth. Cordially do we concur in the opinion they have just put forth, that " most wise is the admonition to copy the great innovator Time, by vigilantly watching for, and promptly counteracting, the first small insidious approaches of decay, and introducing gradually, from time to time, such small improvements (individually small, but col lectively great) as there may be room for, and which will prevent the necessity of violent, and sweeping, reformations." This is not the language of Radicalism, but of Conservatism, although our Radical reformers find it expedient to dissemble sometimes by adopting it, Even the Reform Bill of Lord JOIIN RUSSELL, which they so readily accept as "an instalment," is not based on any such Conservative principle as pervades language like that,—it would not, in fact, be the " instal ment" of Radicalism that they are sensible it is, if it were. It may not be quite as "sweeping" a a reformation all at once as the Radicals would wish, but it is sufficiently so, they are convinced, to prepare the way for still more " sweeping " ones—nntil the Constitution itself is at length entirely swept away, and a Manchester republic is fairly substituted for the British monarchy. Now this, we repeat, is something more, and something worse than reform. We quite sub scribe to the well-known opinion of ANDREW MARVELL, that " all governments and societies of men do in process of long time gather an irre gularity, aro. wear away ranch of their primitive institution. And therefore the true wisdom of all ages hath been to review at fit periods those errors, defects, or excesses that haie insensibly crept into the public administration ; to brush the dust off the wheels, and oil them again, or, if it be found advisable, to choose a set of new ones." This were true reform. But it is not such reform 14.9 the Radicals want = it is not that which such a Bill as this of Lord JOHN RUS SFLL'S can ever secure. LATEST NEWS.

It is said that the Emperor Napoleon drew up with his own hand the paragraph to be inserted in the Patrie and other papers, giving a contra diction to the calumny which charged England with being the instigator of the Spanish insur rection and the troubles in Sicily. INSTRUCTIONS TO FRENCH LAW OFFICERS. The French Miniiter of lustice has addressed two confidential circulars to the imperial law officers in the departments. One recommending them not to neglect prosecuting clerical offenders without regard to rank for any infraction of the organic laws of the Concordat; the second recommending an inquiry into the origin of the property held by religious communities, and as to the period at which such property may lapse. THE FRENCH CAVALRY. The French Minister of War is occupied with the improvement of cavalry, and manoeuvres are to be tried at the Camps of Chalons and Luneville, which it is hoped will restore the prestige the cavalry enjoyed before the infantry were armed with rifles. THE ENGLISH DUTY ON FRENCH WINES. Complaints are made in France of the mode in which the duty on French wines imported into England is computed--reckoning by the proportion of alcohol. Bordeaux wines will pay- half less duty than Burgundy wines, . and Burgundy will be sacrificed. The coarse strong wines shipped in such large quantities at Cette will pay in England filly percent. more duty than the most cxpensive Bordeaux wines. The Chamber of Commerce have, it is said, convinced the Emperor of the impossibility of equitably taxing wines in England according to their alcoholic strength. AGRICULTURE 'IN FRANCE. The French Minister of Agriculture has made a'speech at a cattle-show, demonstrating the great advantage French farmers will derive from the commercial treaty with England. He stated that in the year 1858 French produce was exported to England to the value of £6,000,000 sterling. THE FRENCH JOURNAL AT STRASBOURG.
