The Herald says that the tea market remains dull generally, although several contracts are reported to have been made, the terms of which are kept secret. The Times, in its weekly review, says the produce markets during the week have been steady, although the speculative demand appears in some cases to have partially subsided. The Times says that little alteration has occurred in the freight market during the week ; and, referring to the necessity of establishing higher outward rates to India and China, states that shipowners, nevertheless, daily prefer taking the offers made to holding on for better. *Unity of purpose in refusing to accept ti „ a t which - certain: to bring a loss wo uld alone yit'Ad a remedy.

The. Tiws says British railway sto c k s have shown less animation 10-day, - and. in a few instances a • slight_ reaction has taken place. The market, however, remains intrinsically firm, there being few real. sellers. The indisposition of the publie_to take foreign securities, in the existing stateof continental politics, tells in favour of investments in this de»drtment: The aggregate traffic returns Of the United- Kingdom, for the week ending November 26, show an increase f £46,050 over same term last year. .- • The funds to-day experienced but a slig l 4 variation-;_ at the close firmness was _shown.

Mr' Samuel Griffiths, in his weekly circular says : " The - Iron trade of South Staffordshire continues in the same quiet . state as reported in our last, many of the leading firms having orders on hand to keep their works in operation for such sorts as Sheets, Plates, Best Bars, and Rods. The second and third rate firms are not so .well off for orders for any kind of Iron ; the orders for Sheets, which have arrived lately, being generally for small , quantities, and the demand for Boiler Plates -likewise . is certainly not so good as it was fourteen days since. On, this account Sheets are a shade easier in price, particularly Nail Sheets, which were sold, delicerat in Birmingham on Thursday last, at £7 15s. per ton, and even at this price the large cut nail makers (who consume large quantities of Nail Sheets) are shy buyers. In common Bass, for reasons referred'to repeatedly in this circular, . very little is now being done in South Staffordshire; - the North Stafford shire houses having monopolised th e t r ade in thi s kind for some time past. Welsh Bars are likewise now com peting with the local trade here, and several parcels have - been - sold both in WOlverhaMpton and Dudley, which have given satisfaction to, the consumers, and at prices heloif the South Staffordihire quotations. The accounts from North - and South Wales, Durham' and ' Lancashire, all ,concur in representing the same degree of languor in the general demand for Iron, which we haVe witnessed in this - district during the, last two or three weeks.. We.have advices from Pittsburg in the :United States, to the effect that the trade is very Much 'depressed- there, several furnaces are . blown out, and most of the 'mills -and forges. are put on short time. The unsettled state of European politics, which left the future for the whole of Europe so exceedingly : uncertain, has no doubt produced the falling off in demand for Iron for all great public undertakings, for the present ; but we have.reason to hope that the brighten ing political horizon now 'prosenting itself to Niels' will increase, and that the advent 'of the European Con gress will inaugurate a lasting state of peace and general confidence both for the Central States of Italy and other countries.. Pig Iron s —A small business was done .only in Pigs at the meetings this week ; the prices of Hy drates and All Mine Brands were well maintained, most of the makers of. these kinds having sold.their produce up - to - quarter day. More business has been done of late in Hematite Pigs from the Lancashire and Cumberland districts, which bid - fair to compete suc cessfully with our "own best' native brands in' this market. Pottery are not much inquired for here, and the North Wales Brands. have arrived here less freely during the last month than usual. There is likewise a marked falling off in the importations Of .Pottery Mine, into the South Staffordshire distriot,"which is accounted for by the decreased demand for Common Iron herd. The official list of prices of Finished Iron is as folloWs : Common Staffordshire Bars, £7 10s. at the works ; Best Bars, £8 10s. ; Sheets, £9 ; Doubles, £lO 10s. ; Nail Sheets, £8 10s. ; Latin, £l2 ; Boiler Plates, £9 ; Best and Best Best in. proportion; Common Rods, £7 10s.; Hoops, £8 10s. ; Gas Strip, XS ; Canada Plates, £l2, and all ether sorts in proportion. Current pi ices of Pig Iron—Staffordshire Cold Blast, £4 10s. ; best Native Hydrate Pigs, £3 15s. to £4 2s. 6d. ; first-class All Mine Grey Forge Pigs, £3 10s. to £3 15s. ; good Mine Pigs, with a modicum of Flue Cinder, £3 to £3 ss. ; Mine Pigs, - deterioratel by Cinder, £2 12s. 6d. - . to £3; Grey Forge Cinder Pig Iron, £2 7s. 6d. to £2 12s. 6d. ; Melters, Nos. 1,2, and 3,' £2 15s. to £3 2s. 6d. ; superior makes of all Mine Melting Iron, £3 10s. to £4, according to make and finality.—Copper . :" An ad vance of £4 10s., per ton on Cake and Ingot, and of t v d. per pound on manufactured, took place last Saturday afternoon. We are obliged for the telegrams sent, which, although When received half our last impression was printed, we stopped the press to report. We had pre viously reported this advance in Copper as probable, the continual advance of the standard having. indicated this result for some time past. The Smelters' have received considerable orders during the week, and as the altered state of the Standard fully justified the , movement, and the demand for manufactured is likely very materially to increase, there is every probability of present rates being well maintained. Lead.—The increased ac tivity reported in our last in the market for Lead has re sulted in an advance of ss. ner ton. Several orders for ex port have been given out this' week, and Smelters are re ported firm, at the above improved rate. Tin : A rise of £3 per ton on blocks and bars, and £4 per ton on refined was announced yesterday by the Smelters. Straits and Banott are . likewise better in price, and more inquired for, the market for Banca in Amsterdam having become more settled, and the prices advanced from 77 florins in the early part of the month of November to 79 and 80, which' is the present ruling rate, 300 slabs of Banca having been disposed of this week at this figure. The stock of Banca Tin on Warrants on October 31st , was 72,352 against 79,216 in 1858, and the deliveries in Amsterdam last month were 11,341 slabs, against . l2,3l6 in the same period of 18:58, the deliveries last month showing a falling-off of 1000 slabs as compared with the- same - month of 1858. The market as 'firm at Amsterdam at the above price. Spelter : Considerably less business has been done this week in Spelter , nevertheless, in view of the prices ruling in Holland, although the . market here, is not so buoyant, we think the price of- this metal cannot recede. . Tin Plates : The expOrt demand is still languid, the home demand moderate, prices unchanged. ST. JOHN'S AL s. d. s. d.

The subject of deepest interest in Europe, just now,' is that• of the approaching Congress, in volving as it does those difficult questions which have so recently disturbed its peace, and which must inevitably do so again, unless they speedily and satisfactorily settled.. Our latest accounts. from Paris inform us, that several of, if not all, the Great Powers invited have sent in their adhesion to the official proposal to assemble at the time appointed ; and we presume that England may be included among them. It appears, however, that the report of the Pope having consented to be represented, and of his having nominated Cardinal Antonelli as first Plenipotentiary for the purpose, is without foundation. Notwithstanding that the affairs of Central Italy must of necessity come under the delibera tion of the Congress, the revolted provinces are still proceeding with the organisation of that sole Government under which they have resolved to place themselves. It is semi-officially stated, that the separate Go zernments of the provinces— Parma, Modena, and the Romagna—are sup pressed from the Bth of December, after which day the new Federal Government will come into operation. The Prince de Joinville, who, it is understood, has not finally relinquished his hopes of receVer- - ing the crown of his late father, has publicly answered an assertion publicly uttered a few days since by Mr. Roebuck, M.P., that his Royal Highness had been making a plan of the coasts of England, and had sent it to the French Min istry,—with the view, it is to be inferred, of aiding in any attempt that might be made to invade this country. The Prince declares that he has made no such plan, and that le has sent nothing of the kind to the French WE could not, surely, be wrong in character- ising the late " Financial Reform" demonstration here as a miserable failure, when we find the Liberal journals, with scarcely an exception, falling foul of it, and representing it as anything but the " glcrious" affair which, under Liberal anticipation, it was expected to be. Even the Times declaims against it, as a thing completely mismanaged and botched. "Never," it declares, "was an affair so ill got up. Everybody, from the intended chairman downwards, was indisposed. The apologies were countless, On the platform were a few. old fixtures, who might have been stereotyped, but that there were no£ half the usual number." Now, in these few brief sentences, there is contained a disparaging of the whole proceeding, far more severe and far more significant than anything we have said, who are of quite another and an opposite party. We apply the term disparage in its fullest sense, as involving all that is implied in its definition of "to treat with contempt, to mock, to flout, to reproach." The leading journal, in its chagrin, does all this, Liberal though- it be. We are, aware that it is a very convenient thing, on such occasions for people to be " indisposed,' and to make that their eieuse for not "marching through Coventry" with those of whom, even as political associates, they have little reason to be proud. POlitics, we know, like . poverty, will "make men acquainted with strange bed-fellows." And the occasion in question furnished no exception to this. And yet we almost wonder that Mr. BRIGHT, if no one else, was not , provoked 'to exclaim with Shaks peare's Duke of Milan, as one weak apology after another was brought before the meeting,— " Begone, I will not hear thy vain excuse !" Still, it was a strange and heterogeneous gather ing. Yet it was to be taken, no doubt, as a fair re presentation of the "great Liberal party;" or, at any rate, of those features of it which ar .a th iot e lif of m uage o ht s , t prominent, and the most flashy, and in a popular point of view, perhaps, the most influential also. But to regard it for a moment as a Liverpool political demonstration—that is to say, as any thing indicative of the predominant political feeling of such a community as that of Liverpool, N a y s ou o l n d e c e c o r l t i a ld in w ly eu he b as e a g nil ro t s j s a Qf, perversionAro LIVERPOOL AGRICULT s. d. s, d.

" I may add," he says, in con cluding his letter, whiCh is 'Addressed to the Times, " that although I still consider myself a child of France, I should be the last to wish that the principles' which now rule her should.pass across the Channel." This remark is a hit at Louis Napoleon, which_hiS Imperial Majesty will certainly not like ; and he. may not improbably seek an opportunity to resent it. Of course, it may be a matter of speculation what the Prince means, altogether, by the "principles." But, at any rate, we may take it for granted that he repudiates all such " principles " as those which would favour the idea of an invasion of England. He would be an ingrate; indeed, ever to requite its hospitality and protection by favouring the Machinations of its enemies. We present in another. 'column the official Report to the Board of Trade of the_late inquiry relative to the wreck of the Royal Charter steam ship. The Report,- it will be seen, goes . fully into the details, -not only - of the history • of the ill-fated vessel, almost from the laying down of her keel to the time . of the wreck, but also of the melancholy circumstances under which the wreck took place. There was much, it would seem, attending -the - construction of the vessel that was unfortunate, if not ill-omened. But it is very .satisfactory to find that. the respected owners, Mesirs. Gibbs, Bright and Co., are entirely ex onerated from any responsibility, and that the lamented Captain Taylor also, her gallant com mander,' is . defended against any aspersions upon his conduct on the trying occasion 'of her loss. The opinion is expressed, however, that he made two great mistakes; first, in not sacrificing her masts, in order that the steam pOwer might have availed the ship more effectually ; and, second, in steaming A-head to the anchors in a gale of wind, and in a sea way. There were probably rea sons, however, which cannot be appreciated now, for Captain Taylor's adoption of the course he pursued. The Report concludes, therefore, by frankly declaring, that it is not a case in which the ship could be reported as lost by- the default of the master. The hesitatingly credited correspondence le tween our LiverpOol merchants and the Emperor of France appears -now not to have been quite a quiz. The very sententious, yet very inexpressive answer of the Emperor, through the Chief Secre tary of his Cabinet, forbids the idea of the cor respondence having originated in the after-dinner badinage of a Dale-street reunion ; but it is re markable that the answer published by telegraph is addressed to three, not four, Liverpool mer chants. It may, indeed, .be right; but, judg ing , •by this and 'other instances apparently,- we do indeed live in an age of singular revelations. Yesterday, a circumstance, we shOuld think somewhat rare in occurrence, took place in Liver pool. It was_ a religious ceremonial observance in a Jewish Synagogue on a Sunday. The occa sion was one which never fails to evoke the good _feelings of good men. The Hebrews who had settled in -Morocco have been dispossessed of their !property, and forced to flee, inconsequence of the threatened hostilities between that kingdom and Spain, and the object of the appeal was to secure a contribution in aid of those who Were thus suf fering. The Synagogue, we are glad to learn, was well filled, and it is still more, gratifying to know that the eloquent appeal Of the priest was not made in vain. It was answered, we under stand, by a substantial aid to the general fund. it was the " Liverpool. Financial Reform Asso ciation" that got up the demonstration, Liverpool itself, as a body politic, had but very little to do with it. And in .this respect, it probably pre - . : 1; rented itself in the most strikin g p o i n t of v iew of all, when brought into comparison with the DERBY Banquet, which certainly was a true re presentation of Liverpool feeling, and Liverpool spirit, in every respect in which such feeling and_ spirit could do honour. to such a place. And now , we might glance for a moment at :that which - alone gave importance, such as was, to this " great" Radical display,—we mean Mr. I3R.TGLIT's budget. But really its. hollowness • haS been. so completely exposed already by the Liberals themselves, that it is quite unnecessary for us to trouble our readers much farther with the matter. Not only is the - correctness . of his financial views,—we will not; say merely disputed, •but actually disproved, by' some of the critics of his own party, but he is shown to have indulged an intensity of bitter hostile feeling against those' classes of the people to which,_ as a Radical and Republican, he stands opposed, that was any-', thing but creditable to one who aspires to be a statesman. Well may the Times declare, that " Mr. BRIGHT himself must have been ashamed next morning, :that he had been. describing all who could not agree with him as liars, rogues,._ A ., ignorant, small minds, of low morality, conspira tors against the common weal, and a good deal more." Now; even were such abue as this to be, tolerated in a public man ut all, for any one like Mr. BRIGHT, who has really no sound system of his own to recommend in opposition to that - 2_ which he finds in wholesome and beneficial, existence, to stigniatise, as he did, those who, political intelligence, •no less than in political integrity, are so infinitely superior to himself,. , cannot but be regarded as at once insuffer able and disreputable in the highest degree- The leading journal may Well think, therefore, that this political agitator and asperser " must have been ashamed of himself next morning. Yes—We can readily believe it ; because we can not for a moment suppose that even Mr. BRIGHT is devoid of manly feeling. But there is another thing that must have made him ashamed also,—we mean the failure of this attenipt to present him as a hero in such a community as that of Liverpool. Keeping out of view entirely any comparison of this demonstra tion with that in the same place in honour of - . Lord DERBY and his colleagues, Mr. BRIGHT must have taken his departure under d very humiliating consciousness that the reception which had been given to him, and the response that had been made to the enunciation of Ilia principles, in this the greatest commercial eraP°- Hum of the!world; was 'as severe_ a condemnation of both as human nature could well endure• IN the midst of the national conviction that has 'arisen of the urgent necessity for those defensive. precautions, with the sound of which the- country now rings from the Land's End_ to John 0' Groat's House, and the display of that national spirit of loyalty and patriotism by which the great body of the people of England are now so nobly distinguishing themselves, one single feeble utterance of dissent has just been heard in the northernmost county of England? which is as ridiculous as an excuse as it is singular as an exception. It was not to be expected that " Merrie Carlisle" should be behind hand in the Volunteer movement. A very enthusiastic meeting was held there a few days since, .and as a pre liminary to its business proceedings, - a great number of letters were read by the secretary'? from noblemen and gentlemen connected with the district, to whom application had been made for their co-operation, but who were unable to attends —all giving their unqualified assent, some of them in very' cordial terms, to the object in view , but one solitary instance of objection, and that from a mere stripling, but who yet happen s to be one of the Whig-radical representatives in Parliament of the ancient city in question,--th e same notable individual whose appearance in th e , political arena for the first time, at the late general election, Was signalised, it may be remembered ,- by his readiness to say, " ditto to my uncle,"- -- the personage enjoying that distinction being n ° other, it may also be remembered, than the Right Honourable Sir JAMES GRAHAM, of NetherbTr Bart. Sir JAMES, however, on this occasion, h 9" expressed himself so much like a man of sen se. and a patriot, that it is really a pity that iti should be almost the first instance in which th e ' nephew has run from his compact of sayiv " ditto" to one whom he was supposed to 1 19ve o . pledged himself so implicitly to follow. " Peac e ' ;cli says the knight of Netherby, " is the policy Ac.i 4 ' la I am most anxious to maintain ; and I sh° ll deeply regret any word or deed which ht Ds- , be misconstrued into menace by neighbour r' 0 nations. But in the present circumst 3ile PP ear of Europe, measures of precaution 9- 10 to me to be necessary ; and the sper tge of a free people voluntarily arming todde ers themselves is no bad security for nat ietlil independence, and may check the spirit of egre sion in other quarters." Now, here is a com bination of prudence and patriotism whp; the nephew, we repeat, would have done well ha d he condescended to imitate.
