(From the Daily News City Article.) WEDNESDAY' EVENING.—ConsoIs have risen a per cent., and closed at the highest point of the day. The flow of gold into the Bank, the abundance of money, and a firmer appearance of the Paris Bourse, contributes to stimulate confidence.. • In the other departments of the Stock Exchange there were partial indications of recovery. The discount market presents little change. A further sum of £48,000, in bar gold, was sent into the Bank to-day. (From the Times City Article.) WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The Funds opened with a renewed firmness this morning, and have closed at a further improvement, the notification that France and England will act in concert against China having -con tributed to the favourable tendency. The investments of the public are kept .up on: an extensive scale, and £lO,OOO stock is still daily bought for the savings banks ; gold, also, continues-to be taken to- the- Bank, the amount carried there since the date of the last re turn having been nearly half-a-million, and the supply of money on loan in the Stock Exchange, at7l4 per - cent., has considerably increased.

The coroner's :inquest upon the bodies of the sufferers by the 'explosion on board the Great Eastern has been ;farther adjourned till to-morrow. The repairs are .to be completed within three There was leis excitement in the Tea market yester day, after tha delivering of the China letters • but prices showed increased firmness. It is stated in the city article of the Herald, that the overland advices have not- exercised any fresh influence on the value of Calcutta and China produce in' Mincing-lane. The little effect that the outbreak of hostilities appears to have on the Tea trade at the prizi:- cipal Chinese ports has tended to check the excitement 'which the telegrams induced here ; but the 'firmness of the market is, on the other hand, sustained by the un favourable tenor of the crop accounts. - The Times says, the mercantile letters from China generally concur in the 'view that renewal- of hostilities will not be attended by any material -interruption -of trade. A. blockade of the various ports would soon,' it is believed, bring the Emperor to submission ; but thus, by depriving Great Britain of a heavy portion of its customs' revenue, would be equally disagreeable to both parties. The question, however, is suggested, whether the English should go on paying duties to the Chinese, which in Shanghai alone amount to £500,000 per annum? But, in that case, the contingency has to be considerd, that the Chinese might retaliate by ordering an entire suspension of business with foreigners at the various ports, although such a measure would be faial to themselves, since it would, practically, have the same effecL as a blockade.

E4e goTt4trn Mmes FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1859 THE DAY'S NEWS A Cabinet Council has been summoned for to-morrow (Saturday). It is, of course, Impos sible to state what the subject to be considered may be, but conjecture points to the late disaster in China as one matter likely to receive attention: The excitement occasioned by the recent disas trous news from China, is beginning, it appears, to subside since it is ascertained that the Chinese could never have prevailed against the allied squadron, but by the perfidious surpriie to which they had recourse. Hostilities will have to be renewed,if only in order to bring them to reason. But the China letters received concur in the opinion, that the outbreak will not be attended by a ma terial interruption of trade. The Admiralty has issued its list of killed and wounded in the affair at the mouth of the Peiho, which does not, on the whole, materially differ from that already published. _ . _ it only sympathises will be first wrought upon by envious misrepre- sentation of interests not obviously connected with their own. Though, at the same time, they will be furnished with sufficiently plausible com mon-places of sophistry, to enable them to propa gate their new views. The people of England will be -divided into two portions, the taxers and the taxed.. The first will be taken as adequately represented by the aristocracy. Nor will one other assumption be spared to complete the case, and that is, that the taxers' have been all this while heaping up their exactions for their own benefit. The conclusion is therefore obvious. Every artifice having been employed to inflame class hatreds, the only comprehensive remedy will easily suggest itself ;—namely, to make one class, and that the lowest in the State, supreme and to subordinate every interest of the commu- nity to the arrangements of a blind and reckless majority This is the way in which the material welfare of the lower orders is connected with the exten sion of the suffrage. And this is the way in which great changes begin in sophistry, and end in revolution and ruin. English aid for Italy, it will be seen, is about to be invoked anew, under the auspices of Lord Shaftesbury, who has accepted the task of form ing a Committee, at the instance, it is stated, of several Italian gentlemen of eminence, residing in England.

NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. SEPTEMBER 16, 1859 Weeks. At the meeting of the Health Committee yes terday, a subject of vital importance, with respect to the moral character and status of the corpo ration, was brought under the consideratietn of the meeting. From ,answers 'to a question put by his worship, the Mayor, it appears that recently, under authority of.an act of parliament for carry- ing out certain improvements in the town, the Health Committee acquired some property, 'with a view of its being taken down. That property was, it seems, in a considerable degree occupied by parties keeping disorderly houses, and houses of ill-fame. As the tenants could not be imme- diately dispossessed, they were allowed to remain till the proper time arrived for taking the premi- ses down ; and the treasurer continued to receive the rents for those dens of immorality A feel- ing, strongly disapproving of such a proceeding ,on the part of the committee, was expressed by several members, and there seems every reason to believe that so reprehensible a practice will be According to an article which appears in the giustiia, on the ground that the restoration of the Italian Princes has, been prevented . 43 , the interposition of Sardinia, rdleges that he is no longer bound to carry out the concessions he has made, including the cession of Lombardy. It is also said that Austria is sending fresh troops into In an official circular, addressed by the Govern ment of Venice to the delegation of Verona, it is all but distinctly announced that the Pope, in accord with the A.ustritin Government, is raising soldiers in Austria for his army. THE campaign is about to begin. The Man chester athletes, whose vigour, so well tried of yore, has slept in their veins for so many weary and ignoble years, are preparing themselves for England is to be flooded with a new struggle demagogism. A new reform league is already enrolling its army of lecturers ; in the first instance the simplicity of the ignorant, and in the second the Constitution itself is to be taken by storm. It has been often alleged against the pressing necessity of large constitutional changes, that while no class in the community showed any anxiety on the subject, the very :much larger number of all classes positively, deprecated them. The Manchester politicians are therefore na- turally anxious_ .to supply that_ part of the community most open to factitious influence, with some capital of discontent. They will meet with a considerable measure of success; who doubts it ? The stump will be erected in evel7 town and village, and the simple lieges bidden to tome and hear wisdom. The orators, as they are to be paid, will, of course, . say anything that the paymaster dictates, and go on "talking shop'! to the end of the chapter. They will assail the ears of Parliament with an incoherent cry , and endeavour to drown the voice of the populus with the clamour of the plebs. They will seek to make " Reform " the least of evils, by making the mob dangerous ; and terrify:into large con cessions, those who are afraid •of revolution. But what consideration will be due to the de mands of the lowest of the people, whom the Manchester leaders, and their myrmidons, have lashed into fury ? Ignorance, when it has be come mad, is the most dangerous of all weapons in the hands of the mob ; and it will be the part of all friends to the Constitution to present a bold and compact front to the assault. Is this in any way to be accounted popular opinion, which paid lecturers go about to instil into the minds of the uninstructed and the capricious,. who think that no change can bring them injury, and love it for its own sake, whether it present or not a prospect of good ? What are we to expect from politicians of long standing, of some character, of considerable pretension to intelligence and prudence, and certainly possessed of enlarged experience, if not that they should refrain from administering provocative inducements to the " intemperate rage" of the people—if not that they should contribute to allay it where accident ally-excited?: But here, those who aspire to be their leaders and instructors are deliber ately, and of set purpose, devising the most effectual means for themselves, rousing the people to this fury, and pressing them on to intemperate demands It is not pretended that the voice of the mob is the voice of reason ; we may therefore form our judgment of the next reform, which democratic leaders are to demand at the instigation of an infuriated mob, whose violence they have, in the first in stance, invited and encouraged. _ _ The exact nature of the mission with which Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON, and his confederate lecturers, are to be inspired, is nothing of a secret. " What is the temple," said Dr. JOHNSON, "of " which a monkey is the god ?" What can be the composition of that band whose coryphtei and most respectable representatives were the heroes of that noted banquet of - Huddersfield, the other night, where the represented and the unrepresented were invited together to celebrate the escape of bribery from its just retribution, and the success of those arts of low cunning and dexterity, which were enabled to destroy,-not the evidence of corruption, but the technical proofs of agency,—where this unmistakeable character WHAT a misfortune it is to JOHN BRIGHT, et hoc genus omne, that by some misadventure they have been prematurely born into an age which does not belong to the cast of their The disciples of the Brummagem nativity ! school of politics, generally boast that they and their master are far advanced before the age in which they live. How tame and slow, then, must appear to these gentlemen of such intellectual precocity, the jog-trotting, sober-minded, every day bodies who are not so " advanced" as them- selves, but are just adapted to the things about them ; and although behind their more fortunate —or unfortunate, which ever expletive suits them best—eontemporaries, manage to pass through life very respectably and creditably ; beneficially alike to themselves and those about them. We are always disposed to compassionate the restless, discontented, grumbling, dissatisfied spirits of the unhappy wig,hts, who have fallen from some higher sphere into this, before it was sufficiently mature for their reception. They 'doubtless consider us very slow, and stupidly contented gradual, (though progressive,) in changing old institutions and established cautious, Those " fast men" go, in for principles what they call "sweeping reform," in every thing,—Church, State, the British Constitution, and , the Finance of the country, all require the touch of their magic wand. We have in this good city of ours a knot of these wiseacres banded together under the imposing, appellation of " Financial Reform," a branch of a more preten tious body called " The Reform Association," which in its aggregate personality takes under its fostering care all the institutions of our In running our eyes Over the list of country, individuals of which this fraternity is composed, we could point out some members who havenot been the very best financiers of their own affairs —at least as it appears to us common-place dul lards, who are not sufficiently a-head of our day and generation, to trust the great interests of this country to those who have shown themselves incompetent to regulate their own JOHN BRIGHT, in his Huddersfield programme, strikes out, among other things, a new system of taxation ; of course, an entire change to the pre sent system, viz., one of direct instead of indirect taxation, by which the revenue is to be raised. And Mr. COBDEN, too, is ready to adopt it, be cause it principally obtains •in America. This hon. member, however, does not go into any new impressions which he may have received by his transatlantic visit, with the same impetuous zeal, and unbridled license, with which he gave the world those he received on his sanitary Eu ropean tour, and for which, at the time, he got so much laughed at. It is perhaps less from the apprehension of being again ridiculed, than that, in truth, he did not see in every thing in the New World an example for us to follow. Of course, JOHN BRIGHT has found the sovereign remedy, and one which is to eradicate every de fect in the "old ship," as the glorious Constitution of this country has been called. And what is this nostrum which is to cure all the ailments of the body politic, as HOLLOWAY'S ointment and pills ' profess to correct all the diseases that flesh is heir to P Let the Radical member for Birmingham speak for himself. "An extension " of the franchise, a fair and free representation " of the whole people in the Parliament of Eng " land." Such is, in brief, his great scheme of national regeneration. A school of propagan dism, to this end, and for a new system of taxa tion, is to be established,—the latter to include an abolition of our customs and excise, and the substitution of a property and house tax. Now a tax indirectly paid, by and at the option of the consumer, were surely a better source from which the revenue of any country can be raised, than a direct tax to be levied from pro- NOTES OF THE DAY. It would be difficult to explain, just now, what are' the particular benefits which the French Emperor has rendered to Italy upon the whole. It is true, he has' aimed a heavy blow and great discouragement at Aus trian influence throughout the Italian peninsula; slid' he has excited a strong, and so far ungovernable, revo-* lutionary feeling, which is upsetting everything and settling nothing—nothing satisfactorily and with anY stability at least. And yet so grateful are the Italians for the small merciei that they have received a t his imperial hands, that we are told, " impelled by grati tude for the services the Emperor has rendered to Dab', they are preparing to erect a monument to him in Pang' as their benefactor." One thing cannot be denied-- that the rule of Austria must have become very obnox ious, since simply to have put it aside is thought deserving by the Italians of so much grateful feeling as all this undoubtedly displays. 1 • One would hope the statement is not true, which given in the last accounts of the conferences at Zurieb, that the Sardinian and French plenipotentiaries hav e demanded the restitution of certain sums of monei which belonged to public institutions in Lombardy, bu t which Austria is understood to have taken possession of• The Austrian Government, it seems, does not deny it g possession of it, but maintains that Lombardy was ceded as it stood. It is easy to see that this may be made 3 matter of serious dispute ; and at a time when it is 5° important that every obstacle, however petty, should be removed out of the way, in order, that the great quo; tion in dispute should be settled in an amicable an d satisfactory manner, it is much to be regretted that suc h a point should have been raised at all. Much would depend upon the character of the institutions to whic h ' the money belonged. .But if they were State Establish' ments, and the money was to be regarded as belonging to the Public Exchequer, it is quite possible that Austria has been justified in taking it into its possession. It is not often that a royal personage has been wit nessed making sticreditable an appearance in a scientiO Association, as that which the Prince Consort made 3t Aberdeen, the other night. As President of the Association, his Royal Highness opened its anniversary meeting in a manner which could not probably- ha v : been surpassed by any of the notabilities connected w ith that Association,—we almost question, indeed, if there be one of them who could have done it altogether s° well. It is not only that the Prince has a warm apPr e ' ciation of science, and a very general knowledge of pui losophical subjects, and mechanical operations ; but Ile. possesses, in a remarkable degree, the readiness and ability of giving expression to his sentiments, even ill discoursing, as he did on this occasion, before a couiP an i t _ which must have included so many possessing the hie es d attainments in science and art. The most grace ful an . the most gratifyi ng o f th e severa l rea sons which 1114 Royal Highness assigned for accepting the we t . which, as respects his own scientific pretensions, I' considered he had so little claim, was that which 1 01 conveyed in the happy remark, that he saw in his acceptance of it the means, of which necessarily few sr ° offered to her Majesty, of testifying to them, thro n e ' the instrumentality of her husband, that their labour; are not unappreciated by their Sovereign, and that sll c wished her people generally to know this, as well 116' themselves. No wonder that such a declaration as t ili4 o , should be received by such an assembly with a feet of loyal enthusiasm. The Prince's deep sense of t " objects and advantages of science have on former ocrA ; sions been most significantly shown ; but never no de such telling circumstances as on the present occasion.
