MONETARY AND COMMERciAL LIVERPOOL, Friday Evening. The Cotton Market to-day was only on a moderate scale, the sales being limited to 6,000 or 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 were for export or taken on speculation. Prices did not improve. In reference to the transactions of the week, Messrs. George Holt and Co. say :—The con tinued satisfactory accounts from the United States of favourable weathe'r for picking, and the confident tone in which many parties write, that the crop will at least amount to four millions of bales, continue to have the effect of limit ing our transactions, the trade only buying sufficient for their immediate wants—nearly all waiting the effect which a fair portion of the large amount of Cotton now at sea will have when landed and placed on the market for sale. The demand throughout the week has been on a moderate scale, and as holders offer their stocks freely, and are anxious to realise, buyers have the advantage, both in se l ec ti on an d i n pr i ces . The "middling" and better sorts of American, which were scarce, and comparatively dear are now pretty abundifit, - and selling at 1-16 d. to Id. decline on the quotations - of last week. The Com mon dusty •kincla, in fact, all qualities containing dust or sand, are , very unsaleable, and the prices ,quite nominal. • We now quote •" middling" Up lands Cld; ; i iobile, 7-d. ;.

In theliverpool Share Market - to-day the tone was fiat, and business dull, closing a shade below the best : Toint of the day. During the week a better business was done, and at rather higher prices than those of last week; but .n.o excitement_ - Was shown, and the advance arose- more frOm a paucity u'f. fellers than from any_ .other obvious cause. .Th-e business of to-day comprised sales of Eastern Counties at 11Z,4 ;- Great Western, 67a; Lancashiru and Yorkshire, 991, y, ; Lan -caster and _Carlisle Con.

Stafford 4 _ The•market for general Produce has not been marked by any very striking features, although the tone has improved within the last week. Tea has not exparienced any improvement in demand or Price. Coffee has' been quiet in the market ; butanimproyment has been felt in the demand for Sugar, West India having improved . in price to the extent of about 6d. per cwt. on the week. In Rum no change has been felt, and Rice has been dull of sale. • In ship stores little 'has been dom. • Beef has been slow of sale, and is :usual towards the close of the year the transactions ha ie been of quite a retail character. Pork has also been slow, and small in sale, Cheese has been in demand, and an advance of Is. to 2s. per 23vt. has been obtained on prime qualities. Messrs. IV. Oreame & Co., in their Wool Circular, of this day, say :—Our Wool Market has been very quiet this week, the attention of the trade being chiefly occupied with the Low 'Wool Sales which- took- place, in London, on the 6th and 7th inst., when about 4,000 bales were .brought forward, viz. :-792 East Indies ; . Russian, 223 Egyptian; and - the remainder outli' American, low mountain Spanish, and sundries, including 200 Chinese. For the. small quantity of East India there was a very active competition, and prices ranged abort sd. to Id. per Ib. advance on our last sales. Chinese sold at 6d. to 7d.'-; Russian White Fleece,, inferior, 7, 1 -,d. to 71d.'; fair ditto, Bd. ; grey, 611 to_ 61d. For Egyptian there was a brisk demand, a few lots of very extra white fleece brought 16d. to 1.7 d. ; good fleece, 15d.. to - 151d.1 - or dinary and - Skin, 13d. to 131 d.; second and yellow, 103 d- to .1 - 2 d. ; black and fawn, 91d. to - 111 d. ; locks, Bd. to 9d. per lb. Other wits without change, and part withdrawn. Stocks are very light of Foreign Wools, with a large consumption going on, and the market generally wears a favourable aspect. Mr. S. Hill, in his weekly metal report, says : —The more cheerful tone registered in my last has since continued, the conviction being tolerably general that the reaction in prices was froM the lowest point likely to be current for the next few months, unless some unforeseen political complica tion arises, and, with an European congress pending, it is impossible to tell what may turn up in the chapter of accidents to affect vitally, at least, the more speculative portion of the trade, noticed under the head of Pig Iron. Manufactured Iron is more inquired for, and. a gradual improvement in tone may be expected, as the orders -for the American spring trade will shortly begin to arrive, and the demand to some extent will be assisted by the Australian,. 'Boni- bay, and 'River Plate indents by the -mails recently delivered. On the 17th ultimo, in my weekly report inserted in the . London Mining Journal, after insisting upon the importance of a" superior quality of Plates and Angle_ Iron being used in the construction of iron vesselS, I directed attention to "the great desirability of chain cables being made of the very best Iron, as the safety of a ship so much depends upon their strength." As our Corporation and the Mersey Harbour Board are now taking some action in the matter, it is to be hoped for the sake of the mercantile community, and the valuable property in life and goods entrusted to their care, that the latter body will make the public chain-cable testing machine as efficient as possible, and 'endeavour to solve what at present appears to be a moot point, whether the system adopted does not, with chains made of inferior iron, stretch the fibre to its straingreatest tension, so that afterwards aless applied suddenly will cause a fracture and the parting of the cables. A correspondent, who has just returned from South Wales, reports a more buoyant spirit in that o b and spe c i a ll y men ti ons t h e D where th ere are eighteen w v a a i s s t iron l 'Works, r district, i s, furnaces now in blast, with all the mills and forges employed. No doubt the comparative easy state of the Money Market lately has facilitated the negotiation of foreign railroad securities, an d caused purchases of rails arid other materials, a fair portion of which has been made from the Welsh houses. In Scotch Pig Iron the upward movement was unchecked until Wednesday, when 555. per ton, cash, mixed numbers, warrants, was paid in Glas gow, which price seemed to be the culminating point, as Ms. 6d. per ton, nett cash, was accepted here yesterday, but to-day, owing to the stop page of a speculator, who has been bearing the market, causing increased buyers, the price again P r :fl'f - T - - -DAIL - . . _ advanced, and 5Tls.-.6d. irer ton' cash 'was paid -- ; closing sellers, 555. Od. per ton, one month open. The large launders of Lancashire, and — the dealers who supply: the smaller class, haVe been chary of a t the ports—the Cleveland houses not having made any change in prices; in- - the Manchester - districts, this ‘ - apathy is riot --sur surprising, and the , Scotch makers have not been reluctant sellers during the active period. 'The shipments from the Ch'de this week, 10,459 tons, against 19,431.t0n5,-earresponding period last year. Copper and Tin are steady, at the late advance. On Our 'Change, no sellers of Refined Tin . at the list price. - Lead is dearer, and in moderate demand. _ Tin Plates are held-- firmly, and the makers generally ask higher prices for both Coke . and Charcoal, but the buyers do not yet res pond freely.

The English funds to-day have shown a further increase of animation. In the new India Loan another , rise of nearly per cent. has been established. The demand -for discount; continues steady, but not very active. In the foreign market the principal feature is a further advance in new Turkish 6 per cents. The railway market has again improved, and closed firmly at the best . point of yesterday. The only stocks showing heaviness were South Eastern and Caledonian, the farmer having declined fully -1 per cent., on the belief that the nerroeiations with the London, Chatham, and Dover will Til :terminate unfavourably. The chief improvement to-day was in Great Western and Great The improvement in the Stock Exchange has to-day made further progress. Purchases still . predominate, and money which had been locked up Ls coming for ward for investments, now that the voice of Europe has pronounced strongly in favour of peace.

At to-clay's market we have more_ inquiry for - general runs of Wheat, bit more particularly for new Arteritan ; on the whole a tolerable amount -of business has been transacted.at the extreme rates of Tnesday last, and in exceptional-instances,a fractional improvement has been realised on the values of that. day. The trade in Flour is quiet without alteration in priees. : —Beans are OA of sale, and some lots of Egyptian have been sold at a trifle less'money froth . the ship.. Oats and Oatmeal move.off very slowly; the latter at . 3d. per load reduction. Indian Corn is less inquired for to-day, and any but the choice, qualitieS are 'obtainable on rather easier terms. ARRIVALS . AND EXPORTS From the Eth to the Bth Dee r, inclusiye THE DAY'S NEWS . By .the latest intelligence we are informed of some ftesh-lliffieulties experienced by the Aus trian Government in their attempt to carry Out the 1014 promised reforms. It appears that the Roman, Catholic population of the Tyrol, who have generally been considered the most loyal subjects of the empire, have expressed the greatest indignation at the attempt of 'the Government to place all the Christian professions on a footing of equality% By ..the same telegram we learn that the anxieties of the Court of Vienna are further aggravated in the direction of Hungary, where the pretensions . _of the Constitutional party _ are said to be increasing. It is re ported that they demand not only the re storation of their Constitution, but a guarantee from the great Powers for its maintenance. We cannot but think that the .present threatened insurrection in Hungary is only a part of a deep laid plot by the Emperor Napoleon; in order" that during the meeting of the Congress, this diffi culty of a probable war of nationality in , those priiVinces of the Austrian Empire, might so much embarrass the position of the' House of Haps bi.F`g, that . the conditions of the peace of Villa franca should not be inconveniently pressed upon him. • The Paris Univers,—the organ of the Ultra montanists,—insists that the reforms called for by the Liberal party in the States of the Church, are wholly inconsistent with the main tenance of the proper dignity and authority of the,Pope. It may be the that Popes have never succeeded as reformers, and, probably, never - will. The predilections of the disciples of Ignatius Loyola, and Francis Xavier, have always been opposed to anything like encroachments upon established institutions, and still more so to popular and revolutionary theories. Perhaps the principles of the Jesuits may prove as troublesome to those who would interfere with the temporal authority of the Pope—the present Emperor of the French included, as they did to . >Napoleon the First, who was Compelled by considerations of policy to expel them from his kingdom. We learn that the Budget of France for 1860, has just been allocated: The total amount- is in round numbers seventy-three millions, sterling. • . A sum of aboVe thirteen'anda-harf millions is set aside for the department of war, nearly five millions for the marine, and nearly thirty mil lions for the finance department: ',The expendi ture of the Government of •France, under the reign of the present Emperor of the Freneh, does not appear to press less heavily upon the people, than it did under the rule of the House of Bour bon. The amount set down for the armaments of the country. accord entirely, in the greatness of their amount, with that which might be ex pected from the antecedents of the Napoleonic dynasty. -Does not such a warlike fact 'suffi ciently- justify the universal - Volunteer. move ment at present.so active in' this country. • • The Volunteer movement, we are happy to observe, continues to progress. It will be ob served that Messrs. Trueman, the great brewers, have agreed to pay the expenses of a Rifle Corps in their very extensive establishment; and the staff of the Eastern Counties Railway are likely to form another very numerous corps—the preliminary meeting having been attended by 500 men. Notwithstanding the professions of peace and goodwill which have of late - been so markedly made in certain quarters, we have not seen in them an assurance that would justify us in any degree in arresting the loyal and patriotic goodwill which has characterised this movement in the country. We have pleasure in directing attention to Professor. Houghton's fourth letter on the tidal currents in the Channel, which appears in our columns to-day. The subject is one of deep, indeed of paramount importance, to a maritime community like that -of Liverpool. It will be seen that this great authority upon tidal currents proposes to give at least another communication, in which tabular details will explain and corro borate the practical inferences he wishes to be 'drawn from his interesting remarks. The ball given last night by the first company of the Lancashire Volunteer Rifles, in St. George's Hall, was eminently successful. It would have .been singular indeed had the result been other- wise. The proceeds were to be devoted in aid of the funds of the Royal Infirmary, and of the Northern and Southern Hospitals. This of itself was sufficient to ensure a large attendance of the Liverpobl fashionables, and when the great popularity of the volunteer movement, and par ticularly that of the Rifle Brigade, is taken into account, it cannot be !natter of surprise that a brilliant as well as numerous assemblage graced' St. George's Hall.

In our telegraphic news will be found the award of the jury_ in the_ important trial in which • the liability of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, for an accident occurring to a ship in the _course of being - taken into dock, was sought to be established by the owners of the vessel, the Sierra Nevada, and resisted -on the part of the board. After a trial which lasted over five days, the jury yesterday gave a verdict for the plaintiffs for £40,000, the full sum claimed by them; thus establishing the liability of the . board, under the somewhat peculiar circumstances of the case. The decision, which is an important one, was :ooked forward to with a, great degree of interest in' this neighbourhood. PERHAPS it is comforta,ble for the present Admi nistration to know that any little difference of twenty shillings in the qualification for the fran chise, will not alienate from them the condescend- ing- patronage of Mr. BRIGHT. What a satis faction it must be .to the Whig party to learn that this is the recommendation which he has made to his followers in the speech which he delivered at the London Reform Conference. His disciples are advised, as he has done himself, to accept the standard proposed by Lord JOHN RUSSELL One quality - Mr. BRIGHT eminently possesses above all others is that of the highest and most exaggerated estimation of his own importance and influence throughout the country. We 'really believe he has the conceit to think that Ys fpsc dixit rules without contradiction the opinion of that very vague and undefined class of politi ciftns who call themselves " Liberals." How far Lord JOHN RUSSELL values this self-estimated consequence of Mr. BRIGHT 13 political influence over his party, it might be amusing to know. Itis surprising to see the arrogance which is conti nually displaying itself in the minds of the self- • styled leaders of the great "advanced Liberal party." At this meeting Mr. BRIGHT again tried, as usual, to hold-up to ridicule the better classes of --, society as being jealous of, and hostile towards the working and industrious classes of the com mtmity:. This appears to be with him a staple and stereotyped thesi. We cannot help thinking it- a great pity that Mr. BRIGHT'S social expe riences have been so long perhaps, confined to his own most praiseworthy, and industrious, and honourable class; for, we think, that if he had had a more intimate acquaintance with the inner life of those classes which he so warmly, and it may be conscientiously, misrepresents, he would form a very different estimate of their real _ _ sentim.mts and feelings than at present he aPPa- - - rently does. We do most truly and seriously think that much of that vituperation which falls from him against what, in common part lance, is called the better class of society, arises from the fact that his pursuits have deprived him of the opportunity of forming a right judgment upon a class which must be admitted on all hands to be the most highly educated, and. should be, therefore, the best informed. The honourable member for Birminig- _ham, however, denounces the aristocratic portions of ociety as ignorant alike of the first principles Of political economy and of the civil polity of the State. It should never be forgotten in examining the political career of Mr. BRIGHT that he be longs to a sect which is eccentric, peculiar, and exclusive in its religious opinions, and that, there fore, his personal knowledge and estimate of the opinions of the different fractions into which society is divided must be, from the very tenet" of his faith, contracted. Mr. BRIGHT, at this meeting in London, fore' goes, and advises his supporters to do so also for -the present, the exaction of universal suffrage and vote ,by ballot, from this present " MotleY Government" as the cost of that factious coalition which his party, made with them for the overthrovf of a Ministry which really possessed the confidenc e of the country—and from which, we verily believer it will ultimately be seen by its opponents, W it° more likely to have been obtained a really usefu l. ' and acceptable measure of reform than the present Premier will be able to present to the House of Commons upon :its meeting. Mr. BRIGH T alleges that pro tempore he will be satisfied a ten pound franchise for the counties an d six pound one for the bordughs. We til l % it will be found that the present Governmen i will have extreme difficulty in bringing for ward a measure that will be acceptable to the and revolutionary views of the Radical par t3 l and one which, at the same time; conscientious nil., loyal Conservatives will allow to pass. With ail the adroitness of Lord PALMERSTON, even if he. had the skill of PALINURUS, we think it will "impossible :for him to steer between th e ScY Lt and CHARYBDIS which are before him, without suffering shipwreck to his Administration, even with the self:complaisant support so grac iousl s in the House of Commons republican follower c volunteered by Mr. BRIGHT and his democrats IT is curious to contemplate the struggle which being everywhere all over the world, wag e4 l between the old and the new.
