MONETARY ANI) COMMERCIAL. A' LIVERPOOL, Friday Evening. In the Cotton market, to-day, there was a good attendance of trade buyers, and prices were retained at the highest point reached during the week. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales, of which 2,000 were for ex port, or taken on speculation. Regarding the week's market, the following appears in - Messrs: George Holt and Co.'s weekly circular of to-day : " The greater animation and more confident tone re ported in our last circular has not only been fully sup ported during the whole of the past week, but we have to raise our quotations of the 'middling' and better qua lities of American cotton from ,441. to i-d. per lb., and even at this advance these descriptions, owing to their scarceness, are most difficult to purchase. The common dusty kinds are also more ap preciated, and in better demand at previous rates. We now quote middling Upland, 6 15-16 d. ; M o bil e , nd. ; and Orleans ' 7td. The committee of broke rs place faip. Uplands, 71d. ; Mobile , 71d. ; and Orleans, Bd. Surats have been in large demand ; but as holders continue to show the same disposition to effect sales, prices remain without change. Maceios have been in good - demand; and - are per - M. dearer ;'"the Other kinds of Brazil are without change. The common qualities of Egyptians are abundantly offered on the market for sale at previous rates, while the better sorts are scarce, and command very full and advancing prices. We know of no cause for this increased and large business, beyond the wish of the trade to secure a stock sufficient to last until the new crop arrives and is brought on the m ar k e t for sal e. The accountufrom the United States are of th e same character,o t r toe the weather and prospects being very favourable Surat, an d 70 Egyptian , crop. 6,680 American, 3,610 Sitra ; 860 areAreperted American, to have been taken on speculati on 8,720 Surat, and 140 Egyptian, for export ; so tletaritc thea , i d e liveries to the trade for. the week have been about 67,900 bales. The business to-day will probably amount to 10,000 bales." - The Liverpool. Share Marcet to-day was again dull, without any improvement in prices.

Tea has been sold to #. ;~ only a limited extent, at prices mostly in favour of buyers. In Coffee,- the supply at market has not been large, and the transactions have been limited in amount. Sugar has met with a steady inquiry, but the transac tions, which have only been moderate in extent , show no material alteration from the prices of last week. The business in Rum has been moderate in amount, without variation in price. The Provision Market has offered no change to call for observation. The price of Beef has not been lowered, but the stock being still kept up to an unusually large point, a depressing e ffect has been felt. Rather more business has been done - in American Pork. The Corn Market has been steady, without activity of business, and prices, if changed at all, have been changed in favour of sellers. LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE. LONDON, Friday Evening. The English Stock Market has been quiet to-day, with prices slightly improved upon those of yesterday. Consols opened steadily, at the previous closing prices, and after manifesting some degree of flatness eventually became firmer, the latest quotation being at 951 to 96 for money and the account. Bank Stock is at 225 ; India Stock, 2231 ; Reduced Three per Cents., 941 3s ; India Debentures, 961 ; and Excheq uer Bill s , Small, 285., 315., and 275. pm. The English Railway Share Market was dull to-day, and in some cases a slight decline was experienced. 1 Great Westerns, Berwick, and London and North Westerns are about 5s lower per share. Caledonians are k lower. In the market for Foreign Securities great inactivity prevailed, but notwithstanding this values seemed to be ,better 'supported. Brazilian Fives have improved per cent. ; Mexicans are quoted at about the same ; , Spanish Deferred have risen to 1 per cent.

The aspect of foreign politics continues to depress the market, and the news regarding the Royal Charter has, for the moment, added to the- tendency to dulness. At the close of business, however, there was rather more strength. Money continues in active demand, and in exceptional cases only, the rate is below the Bank minimum.—Times. The stock markets are still effected by vague distrust. The closing quotations were 1 4 per cent. below those of yesterday. Considering the multitude of disquieting ru mours, which have been circulated during the last two or three days, prices are well supported. In the share markets business was excessively dull. In the discount market, to-day, there were a few transactions at 27,- per cent. ; but most of the principal establishments con tinue to demand the Bank rate on good bills. There were no bullion operations at the Bank to-day.----Daily Neva. RAILWAY SHARE MARKET. The market for British railway stocks has *been dull and rather flat.

It ap pears that we have some fifteen, ships of war, great and small, there at present,—the Spaniards have some five or six vessels,' mostly of small size, —and the French have eight vessels, including one three-decker; 'find four two-decirers. We would seem to be quite prepared, therefore, to maintain our authority in that quarter. • The belief appears to gain ground, that there is likely to be a combination of the French and Spanish forces against Morocco; and it is sus pected that: an ulterior object is in view, on the part of France, further than that of obtaining redress for recent plunders and insults on the part of the Moors. The Times well ob serves that "the subjection of Spain to French influence, and the formation of a system of which France is the chief, and. Spain, Piedmont, the Papal States, and Naples, are the dependants, deserve the attention of every politician among us." A reactionary plot in Tuscany has been dis covered. The provisional authority, under the revolution that has taken place, is in the hands of the moderate party,—a party, therefore, ob noxious to what are called the Reds or Maz zinians, on the one hand, as well as to the Grand Ducal and priestly party, on the other. The plot is said..to be_one in which theseveral conflict ing parties are in league. Their papers, which have been seized, afford. evidence, it is said, of a deep-laid scheme to upset the new order of things. ' If it be true that the French Government are taking up vessels in British porti, for the - large quantity of 40,000 tons of coal, for China and the East, they would seem to be in earnest in their preparations for an expedition to 'Secure redress from th 6 Chinese for the recent outrage on the . Peiho. It is stated that our' own Gevern .ment has not yet taken steps to provide a.supply of coal for a similar purpose. So far as can be learned from ,a letter received in Paris from London, it appears that 'the joint expedition between England and France, against China, has been• definitely arranged, and that it will sail during the first fortnight in February. . --- It ___ will, be perceived with regret that the Downey _Lady .‘ l)eef died suddenly yesterda y morning, at her residence in Whiteliall-gaßlens.

The loss of the Royal Charter, and consequent frightful sacrifice of human life, continue to ex i.erciso .a painful influence over the public mind. ,iTheb•getieral feeling, as was to be expected, is of and regret. In addition to the . e 9/ 41 } ;441,4CCOTilit. Of the. disaster given in our early and- subsequent . editions yesterday, We to-day publish - a further account of the appalling inci dents which occurred ou the fatal occasion. No event . Connected with the Liverpool shipping trade, for several years . past, has created any thing like so painful a sensation here. • Without doubt,, the sub,jeei of the wreck, and it§ antece dent and.concomitant eireuMstances, will be fully investigated under government authority. . THE spirit of enthusiasm and sympathy which this day's demonstration is calculated to spread among Conservativeawho ate earnest and sincere, will be thrown duchy,' or worse than thrown away, .unless it incite them to greater zeal and solici tude in the exercise of , their electora). rights. It is, therefore, on every, account apropos to remind uur readers, that next Tuesday will give them a special opportunity of showing their 'appreciation of the lesson, which to-day's proceedings are to teach. No doubt it is something invidious to import political distinctions into a municipal contest. But the device has never yet been found, and while men are constituted as they are, will for ever disappoint the search of students and philo sophers,—by which political passions shall be restrained from invading every subject of discus sion, and every walk of life, where they can find anything to colour with the least degree of their own hue, or divert, however indirectly, into their favourite channel. But to come to particu lars : when Ministers are careful to select for Bishops men whose political opinions assimilate with their own, it can scarcely be expected that municipal electors will be careless about the poli tics of their nominees. Yet, there are many imaginable reasons why -it is of importance to secure a preponderance of. ' political allies in the Town Council. There :is the indirect importance of influence. The men or the party who attain the high places which society has to bestow, acquire an - accession of influence, which Mal - be.exerted in, a thousand unknown ways, which it- is good to possess for an emergency, whiCh may be -reflected unconsciously on . one's political opinions . , and may be : a 'stepping - stone to political triumphs. Influence is not only the more vague and. unsusceptible of precise definition, be cause of the intangibility and subtlety of its na ture ; but it is, for that reason, stronger, -arid secures.greater Moral- advantages.

'Thi§ , lA the dead. level to which Mr. JOHN BRIGHT, and sa .many of his short-sighted and deluded. - panderers, are giving all their wicked or their wasted energies, to reduce every form of national: life in the country. Thi s is the platform where. democracy_ may flaunt; its faded colours, and riot out its brief but maddened day. We correct, most effectually, this destructive tendency, when we invest all these 'forms of - national and public life with a Conservative and Constitutional character. We _ - save Liberalism itself from its worst issues, by strengthening the cause of respectability and' virtue. But thOugh townsmen of all classes, and of all opinions, seem to be equally, and in the same manner, concerned in municipal' questions, .an,d to possess in common., interests and convictions Which no - political or religious prejUdiCes can influ ence or vary, it is not impossible to conceive many emergencies -which Conservatives would rather see dealt with by a Conservative than by a Radical. They have occurred before ; and may, nay, often will, again. "The' Corp Oration are charged with considerable religious responsibilities. ._They have Churches, they have, Schools, they have Reforma tories,--all constantly suggesting topics and giving rise to discussions, acutely interesting to earnest men, who venerate the Church of England, or value Christian instruction, or have even -a prejudice in favour of the Bible. Now pont- Liberal is unpledged, unexplainable, and, for the most part, indifferent on these points. As we said the other day, his name is suggestive only of negation. Conservatism professes, at least, to have something to conserve, and knows what it is. Among such things are the Constitution, the Church, the Bible, as affording a basis for popular instruction. Liberalism, however, points to no necessity, except the necessity- of destruc tion, or change. But the crude and lifeless notion, that there are abuses which require to be done away with., can of itself supply no bond of a real faith, nor a motive of high and adequate service. Such a conviction is only lifegiving or _safe as an incidental part of the true policy of conservation. As a leading prin ciple, it - is the caricature of politics, or the destruction of the State. Conservatives are the 'true reformers, because they discern the good from the bad. They are true conservers, because they would adapt old institutions to new circumstances, and endow them with the only secret of preservation, adequacy to do their work. It is not safe, therefore, to leave important interests, such - as we have alluded to, to Liberal guardianship; for it is absurd to expect that a man can divest himself of his political or religious character, when these things challenge his treat ment. -But argue it in the abstract as we may, one con sideration, as we have often said before, is sufficient to confirm this view of the coming elections. The Liberals have ranged their forces as for a political contest. Their political clubs—their confederates - of faction—their masters of election machinery, have set the score, and given the old summons to their allies to play it out on Tuesday. The circumstances of the moment—the reviving fortunes of Con servatismthe challenge of our adversaries, all point out the one necessity, that Conservatives should be zealous, watchful, conscientious, and rigidly consistent, in a contest which transcends its apparent, importance, and is now even more apparently important than usual. IN the midst of dark and frowning political pros pects abroad, it is some consolation to see a bright spot breaking in the sky, to revive our fainting hopes at home. It is-What the oasis in the desert is to the weary and Way-Worn traveller. That one bright ray in the tenebrosity Which envelopes most of .the politicaknffairs in which our GlOvern ment is now engaged, is the material prosperity of the country, as at present shown by the recent returns of the Board of Trade of the condition of our Conunerciat Tnierests. These, in spite of the diplomatic bnngling, the political jobbing, and the truckling: expediency of the present Administration, .are happily in a most flourish ing and satisfactory state. We say in spite of the measures of Lord PALMERSTON'S Cabinet ; since the policy of that party of which he is the leader, has done much to damage a most important Interest of the community, by adopting with reference to it a garbled principle of Free Trade. We refer to the Shipping Interest. While we examine the returns issued by the Board of Trade, of an increased and increasing commerce, we cannot but feel saddened, when we know that such an Interest as the commercial marine of this country has not, in such national success, a due participation of the general weal ; but, on the contrary, that it is in a most depressed condition. In fact, by these very documents we learn that the greater proportion - " • • .. D': tonnage entered inwards within the last month foreign, of which one-fourth is American, and aich relatively to the whole tonnage entered pars the proportion of one-ninth. The United .:tates have marvellously increased in amount of tonnage and ships since the repeal of the Navi gation. Laws, and are fast absorbing our carrYi n g trade, as also enlisting our sailors into their mer chant service. It will be impossible, therefore, for our own mercantile marine to endure much longer the 'very unfair and unequal eompetiti wl • us in which they are at present engaged,—run i° to that Interest, and materially weakening th e resources from which our navy is supplied wit h sailors. - „ , _ . If it were not for this drawback, the returns froni the Board of Trade would afford every maw ° for congratulation on the very' satisfactory Pi' gress of our commerce. The increase in t he month ending 30th of September, on the declare d value of exports is .£911,666 ; and on the ni ne months the increase over the same period Of la st year is £11,726,982 ; while contrasted with that of JBs7„it is _£2,301,719. The total for tlkg-h ° month was L 11,631426 against L 10, 713,765 in 1858, and xiieflaW* 1857.

This stes4l revival of bus iness - liai increased our shipments abroad to a conSiderable extent ; but it yet iv" mains to be seen ) whether sales have been cow ducted with advantage to the . commercial our munity: The returns of the 'exports are.not lets satisfactory. The imports _with respect to bullion are also on - the right side. They amount t° 1:30,144,537;41e exports to £28,649,653 ; leap'" lag a balance lsi our - -fasiiur of £1,474, 653 ' The principal variations exhibited by these r e " turns are, as regards exports, an increase in CO'a l ' cram, cotton manufactures, hardware and cutlerY' linen and wOollen . mairtifactures. With respect t 0 importations, there-has been an- increase in coffee' -silk manufactures,-spirits, tallow, and wine. - T he Most important decline has been in cocoa, t ea ' tobacco, wool, unrefined sugar, and new cotton.. One point of painful interest in theSe returns the great commercial prosperity of England, the present moment is, that the principal part of the amount of tonnage engaged in its distribu tion, is It is,-;-12,335,840 'in 1859, as against 1-1,822,297 in 1-858.
