Yesterday the market assumed a firmer tone, and advanced 3d to 6d per qr. Rapeseed is quite neglected, and . quotations are nominal. To-day fine Bom bay Linseed in double bags is worth 49s 9d per qr. in warehouse, good Calcutta 48s 6d; Guzerat Rape 60s to 61s, Bombay (brown) 53s to 53s 6d, Calcutta 50s to 51s. Linseed Oil is nominally 6d per cwt higher: the transactions are chiefly for export, and in export casks £29 is now asked. Linseed Cake is worth £9 to £9 5s per ton for English. Rape Oil in fair demand, at £4O 10s to £4l for brown English ; and as much as £44 , has been paid for fine Colza. Rape Cake dull, at £5 for, best feeding.

Freights are weaker, owing to there being a large amount of unehartered tonnage in port. The demand for ships to the East is only small, but there is fair inquiry for vessels for Jamaica, Havannah, and St. Thomas, at 19s to 20s. A very large business has been done in Guano Freights at 60s ; upwards of 20,000 tons has been taken within•the last ten days. Homeward Freights from India are firm, at £3 2s 6d Cal cutta, 45s Bombay to U.K. Freights to U.S. ports are easier, owing to large arrivals this week. _ The following are the rates of freight for— .

Pork is easier to buy, but the stock of American is only moderately heavy, hence holders do not press sales. Bacon is firm, and there is a steady consumptive demand, the ad vanced prices, however, make the dealers more cautious in their purchases, hence there is no great activity in sales to report. Hams and Shoulders are in fair request. Lard is moderately active, and the finer qualities are more firmly held, whilst ordinary refining sorts are the turn lower. The demand for American Cheese has greatly fallen off, and prices are again considerably reduced. In Butter there is a rally, and 90s per cwt. has been obtained for some choice American.

In the Liverpool Corn Market to-day the tone of the Wheat trade was firm, and most holdf re quired Id. per cental advance upon Tuesday's price. There were rs buye at that day's extreme value ; but any higher requirement checked the sale, and there was no quotable improvement, with, altogether, only a moderate amount of con sumptive business transacted. Fresh parcels of FLOUR are in tolerable request at steady prices. Egyptian BEANS were still pressingly offered ; and a further concession of 3d. to 6d. per quarter would be made to induce purchasers. Some parcels of OATS have appear ed from Ame rica ; further lots are on the way ; and though quality the is light and inferior, the value o f Irish is depr esse d to the extent of ld. per bushel. OATMEAL is a slow retail sale at 3d. to 6d. per load reduction. Scarcely any Irish demand for INDIAN CORN to-day ; but a few lots are taken for English feeding, the value, if anything, the turn in favour of sellers. The continuance of most favourable weather fails to produce its usual depressing effect on the' trade, so far at least as regards Wheat, in which a good litifiness has, been done at the provincial markets during Ihe,lieel4 and supplies, in most cases falling. short of the demand, - ,the value has pretty generally 'been enhanced is. to 2s. per quarter, as comparealwith . the quotationi of 'last week. The trade here hai ruled firm for Wheat and Flour; and a fair amount of transactions has taken place in the former, at prices the turn dearer, chiefly for consumption, while in other articles business has been quite restricted. The Ge:ette returns of Wheat for the week ended 19th inst. are 95,250 quarters, being 10,118 quarters less than that of the preceding week. _ _ Including 5,025 quarters from the United States, our fresh arrivals of Wheat continue fair ; but with Flour and all other foreign produce we are much less liberally supplied than of late. Except Oats and Oatmeal, little appears coastwise or from Ireland ; while the exports in each direction con tinue, and will probably show a steady increase between this and harvest.

Coastwise In the LONDON MARKET for ENGLISH SECURI TIES to-day Consols have been very dull through out at 951 to 951, declined to 95. There was almost nothing to do. The Funds closed at the following prices : Consols Money „ Account Exchequer Bills , Bank Stock Three per Cents Next Account The following appeared in our second edition of yesterday : No gold operaticns of any importance took place at the Bank yesterday, On the 30th April the India paper registered as belonging to English holders was £6,382,342, showing an increase of £2,683,252 since the 31st of October, 1859. On the Paris Bourse money is so abundant that scarcely any interest can be obtained for loans on Government securities. fq a greater or less degree the same feature is observable on nearly all t h e continental Bourses. At the reduced charge of 4 per cent. a good amount of business was transacted to-day at the discount office at the Bank, whence it may be inferred many persons held back in anticipation of the alteration. At Lombard street a similar feature was presented, the clemand being slack in the morning, but decidedly reviving in the afternoon. The terms generally current for the best bills were nto 4 per cent. The change at the Bank, combined with the splendid weather, and the firmness of the Paris Bourse, gave a stimulus to the stock markets this morning. Consols at one period attained a fresh rise of to a per cent.; the closing quotations were barely 1 aboye those of yesterday. In the other depart ments of the Stock Exchange the immediate tendency of prices was likewise favourable, although business excited •little revival.—Daik Hews. The redaction in the rate of discount was considered certain, and it has, therefore, not e4ercise4 any appre ciable influence on the funds. According t 9 the appear 'nee of the foreign exchanges, theie is little prospect that it will be followed by any speedy reaction indeed, the probabilities lie rather in the direction of increased ease, the political uncertainties of the Continent tending not only to prevent capital from being widely diffused in trading operations, but also to render it difficult for Russian, Austrian, or other foreign loans to be con tracted in the London market. Consols opened this morning st a further fractional improvement, and soon experienced another advance, which was firmly main tained to the close, the early prices frein saris being favourable. There was a fair demand for discount at the Bank to-day, at the reduced rate. The interest on deposit at the Joint Stock Banks has been reduced to a uniform rate of 3 per cent. The discount houses have lowered their terms to 3 per cent. for money at call, and 31 with a few days' notice.— Times. The LONDON SAE gARKET to-day was very inactive, and prices generally declined, closing about 4 per cent. lower than yesterday. Canadians a shade easier.

HIGH WATER, THIS DAY, AT LIVERPOOL. Hour. Height. 2h. 45m. I.sft. 9in. 3h. 13m. 141 t. 3in. MORNING EVENING Ely paik SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1860. THE DAY'S NEWS. The necessity for the vote of credit which Ministers have obtained in the House of Com mons, is justly regarded as affording further evidence of the unsatisfactory state of the public finances. It was stated, in moving the vote, that Ministers Were under the neeessitz of asking for it. mr. Disraeli's remark, that "if they would frankly state that the exchequer was exhausted, and that they : could not carry ou the public ser vice without this extraordinary : assistance, he would give them confidence so far," would seem, therefore; to have been uncalled, for, since, if such a statement was at already made, in go many words, it was clearly implied in the reason assigned for the vote of credit. The amount required is not, it is true, a large one, and it will probably be exhausted in a fortnight. But this only renders it all the nwre dangerous as a pre iedent, It was tacitly submitted to, however, on the understanding that the estimates should be proposed as soon as possible after therecess. The remark of Mr. Walpole, that " unless the Norm , . ,insisted upon having the estimates laid before it in the regular manner, it would surrender a power far more necessary to its control over the public expenditure than that said to be affected by what had occurred in another place," conveys a significant moral at stlch a conjuncture as the present, In connection with the subject just referred to, it may be noted that the very general reprobation of the financial Course which Ministers are pursu ing, as illustrated by the necessity of having to obtain a vote of credit, may be regarded as indi cating that the House of Commons will insist on the estimates being considered immediately after the Whitsuntide recess; and as this will occupy a full month, it will render it next to impossible to proceed with the Reform Bill this Session. The Times, we observe, is decidedly of opinion that it is all up with that measure now. "The Bill has sunk," it says, "under the impossibility of carrying through in a single Session a Budget and a Reform Bill, each large enough to occupy the attention of Parliament during every spare hour. The +form Bill does not fall - through external violence, nor from the hatred of its enemies, nor from the luke warm all csc r ;arinn of ifq Riinnnspri fricaula The Reform Bill has perished mainly because, being a measure of the first importance, it failed to conciliate to itself that degree of attention from within which to a measure of the first class is absolutely necessary." We dare say there is an influential section of the Cabinet to whom this failure of Lord Jelin Russell's Reform measure will not be by any means a heartbreaking affair. They had to submit to its introduction as one of the necessities of the Coalition ; but it is well known that they disliked it,—and they not im probably hoped that it would fail, as it has done. "Lord John Russell," the leading journal further remarks, " must console himself with the reflection that he has done all in his power to make the Bill succeed, and Mr. Disraeli may satisfy himself with the equally strong conviction that he has also done all in his power to make the measure fail. Those whose main object is the satisfactory transaction of public business will rejoice that a measure is at length removed from their path which, although it could not pass itself, had becoMe a formidable obstruction to the passing of anything else ; and it is not impossible that in this manner has been disposed of the last attempt at a great and com prehensive Reform Bill which the present gene ration of public men is destined to see." Huy:, much better, therefore, would it have been, to have gone into committee on the Bill which Lord Derby's Ministry brought forward last year, and have made it, as they so easily might have done, a good measure, and thus have settled the onbar rassing.question—at any rate for a long time to come. The House of Commons has now not only got the fact of the bill repealing the paper duty having been rejected by the House of Lords in due form before it, but has taken action upon that rejection, in the shape of a search for precedents by a committee. This proceeding has, no doubt, been taken by Ministers for the purpose of gaining time. It brings them. to the Whit suntide holidays, which will afford them the opportunity of considering, Tore at leisure; what is best to be done. According to the Morning Herald, the Radicals are kept in a,state of painful suspense, as to what Ministers are going to do to the House of Lords for their recent defeat of the financial measure on which so much that was hopeful to their cause had been built. They are making, it appears, " strong appeals to the Premier, which mean that unless he carries out their behests, he will be the first victim of their indignant wrath." But the Premier has, so far, afforded them no satisfaction and, of course, the Radicals are getting more and more infuriate. "As for us," remarks the Con- servative 'journal, we 110,yd:really no wish to embarrass the Government,,or to disturb Minis ters in their places. We are quite prepared to accept any alternative they may please in their wisdom- to suggest. The only thing we ask of Lord Palmerston at present is that he will put as speedy an end as possible to the dreadful tortures which 1 - iis Radical allies seem just now to be enduring. If this uncertainty is to last for another week, we should not like to have to answer _for the consequences." Whitsuntide, however, will furnish a convenient pretext for deferring all explanations for at least another 'week. Among other portents of counter-revolution in Italy may be noticed the fact of the party of the Grand Duke of Tuscany agitating Florence, by causing exciting addresses to be issued declaiming against the new order of things. It is believed that a restoration is anxiously sought by the higher classes of Tuscany. It appears from intelligence just received by the African mail, that some misunderstanding has unhappily arisen between the clergy of the Church of England at the Cape and the laity, and that the latter had been appealed to in vain for their contributions in support of the church there. The laity want the church funds to be adminis tered by a committee, with a prepondeiance of lay members, of which the bishop only should be the president ; and that the congregations should select their own clergymen, whom the bishop should approve and license. But this is objected to on -the ground that it is not in accordance with - right ecclesiastical principles. The accounts from Sicily continue conflicting. There is no doubt, however, that the insurrec tion is gaining ground, and that Garibaldi is succeeding in his object of overthrowing the Nea politan Government there. It is now considered to be beyond all question, in fact, that Sicily is lost to the King of Naples. The accounts being conflicting, is entirely attributable to their coming from the two opposite sides : each gives its own version of what is going on, and they are not an naturally at utter variance with each other. The ;act of volunteers continuing to land, and rein forcing Ge.ribaldi's ranks, is of itself pretty decisive of the success of the popular cause. Palermo was considered safe in the interest of that cause. Mes sina's expected rising had still not taken place at the date of .the last accounts. The French Emperor is affecting to be reluct ant to interfere in the Turkish question which the Russian Government is forcing on the European Powers. His Majesty thinks it premature—or, at least, he says he does—to bring it forward at the present moment; only, as it has been officially taken up, " France considers that she acts in con formity with the interests of Europe by asso ciating herself with Russia, otherwise a pretence would be given to that power to assume the exclusive protectorate of the Christian subjects of the Sultan." This is all very plausible. But the worst of it is, that it is only plausible, CRINOLINITES & LOCAL EXCITEMENTS IN THE WESTERN METROPOLIS. THE people of England—indeed the people of Europe generally—except, of course, the com paratively few who may have lately visited the Western World, have probably but little idea of the growing extent, importance, and magnifi cence of that world's:great metropolis.': The city Of New YOrk, which little more than thirty or five-and-thirty years ago was comprised in a triangular area of scarcely a mile in length, by not half that dimension at its extreme breadth, is now rapidly covering the whole Island of Manhattan, on which it stands, and which stretches from south to north some thirteen or fourteen miles in extent,—covering it, too, with noble streets and squares, thickly studded not . only with buildings of unrivalled magnitude and s F ieLidc.z.zz- .a.aamercial and business purpo-ac3. of every kind, but with palatial private edifices, magnificent public atruetares, and beautiful churches. Of the " grand trunk " of this won derful city—its far-famed Broadway—everybody has heard; and our last accounts inform us how much its animation, and its general effect, had already become heightened and improved by the genial influences of the vernal season. The weather, it appears, had suddenly changed from cold and wet to warm, bright, and dry ; and while, under its reviving influences, nature was in the country assuming its gayest attire, in towd the great and fashionable theroughfare we have mentioned was begin ning to be seen in its best aspect, and pre senting a most interesting spectacle. "From morn ing till night," we read, " the trattoie of Broad way .was crowded with all sorts and conditions of men and women, from all ranks of society, and all parts of the civilised world." The women, of course, were the most attractive objects, even more from their artificial than natural embellish ment. of the scene. And no wonder, when we are told that " the New York ladies dress more, not to say better, than any other crinolinites in the n.ia if 412,• 3 - ao not proaucc a. stunning effect upon the spectator, it is not because their clothes are inexpensive. "- In this respect, in fact, it is boasted that the metropolis of the west exhibits them as beyond all rivalry. "If it is a question of crinoline, that of the New York lady is the most expansive ; if long dresses are the rage, Broadway can show trains equal to those of Queen Elizabeth ; if it is a question of little bonnets, the belles of Manhattan are content with a wafer on the backs of their heads ; if the coal scuttle hat comes in, we can show a fashionable lady who has retired to a seclusion as profound as that of Charles the Fifth of Spain." In short, the dames and demoiselles of all the rest of that rising repnblie, we are assured, are but " satellites revolving around the goddesses of Manhattan, and must be contented to imitate rather than to lead the fashions." There would be ample evidence in all this, were there in nothing else, how " the metropolis of the Western World grows in extent, increases in material wealth, and progresses in all the arts and refinements of life." To such a degree is it thus growing, and so immense are the various personal and popular displays of it getting to be, that Broadway, many miles, in length though it is, has become utterly inadequate to the necessities of the case ; and it has, there fore, been found indispensably necessary to pro vide a public park, occupying, we know not how many hundred acres, which, though situated some five or six miles from the centre of the city, is already a place of fashionable and general resort,—a park that is being furnished with all the delightful appliances of lakes, fountains, ter races, drives, bridle-roads, gardens, shrubberies, conservatories,—and, above all, as harmonising most of all with their republican system, a public promenade which, we are told, " is popular with all classes, from the millionaire to the beggar? And thus is a work being accomplished which, it is boasted, " was not only required to place the city fairly upon a metropolitan basis as compared to the European capitals, but, what is of more consequence, is the construction - of a public ground which will be thing of beauty and a joy for ever,'"—an impression which ther:r3- opening of the vernal seas on within its has fully borne out by t he brilliancy of precincts t a ttractive though they are , which g iv e an extraordinaryltis interest and imp ortance to such a city. its being the cont inual inlet to, as well as the its scene.. But it is not t hese things only, actual habitation of, a vast and varied population that most enhances its position. Its citizens have been 'gathered from all the nations of Europe ; and tile continual drainage of the old world igto ',he new, mainly passes through its portals. In one of the latest of the public journals that has come to hand, we see it remarked, how strong a flood of emigration from Europe had again set in —as many as two thousand passengers having arrived at the port of New York in one day. And this great metropolis of the new world, we learn, was not only resuming, as has been stated, all its extraordinary vernal gaiety and animation, but wasbeginning to anticipate a series of "sensa tions," such as the fashionable season has never, we dare say, presented them with on any previous "We shall have three great local ex citements," it is remarked, "in the city during the summer—the arrival of the Japanese Ambassadors, the visit of the Prince of Wales, and the appearance of the giant of maritime architecture in our harbour." And these unusual attractions are not unrea• sonably expected to cause "an inpouring of the curious and lovers of great sights from all quar ters of the country," such as has never, perhaps, taken place before. Even the watering places, which are usually thronged in summer far beyond anything that is ever witnessed in this country, are expected to be drained to swell the flood of sight-seers that will inundate New York. "We should not wonder," says one of its journals, "if the transitory population of the city were increased by nearly half a million of people during the com ing season—stimulating, it is hoped, all kinds of trade immensely. The hotels will be crammed ; Broadway will present a denser stream of crino line and unbecoming bonnets than ever ; the theatres and opera-houses will reap a golden harvest ; and as for the milliners, they may almost expect to become millionaires before the season is over. Every branch of retail business must be materially benefitted by these three great excite ments, the like of which never occurred in the metropolis before at the same time. It only required the coming of the Great Eastern to make his essentially a sensation season." So that Eng- occasion. land, after all, will contribute mainly to enable the metropolis of the new world to rival that of the old. Here, on this side of the Atlantic, we see and know that the present is indeed an age of progress. But with all our sense of it at home, we must extend our view " beyond the western main," and enlarge our experience by an acquaintance with what is passing there, ere we can fully comprehend, or adequately appreciate, the nature and extent of the progress of which this is so remarkably the age. Moral and political lessons both are thus to be learned. This world experiences a system of perpetual progress,—it is one of the principles which natu rally govern it ; but unless a principle of limita tion or restraint govern it also,—only govern without impeding,—it would soon, it is to be feared, precipitate its own downfall. And the best ages of the world, therefore, have been said to be those in which these two principles were the most equally balanced. Still, one cannot but fear, amid all this progress, that there is only too much truth in the postulate of the poet, when I he says : "There is the moral of all human tales : 'Tis but the same rehearsal of the past — First freedom, and then glory—when that fails, Wealth, vice, corruption—barbarism at last ; And history, with all her volumes vast, Hath but one page." LORD OILNI RUSSELL. There are three intellects in the Cabinet—Palmer ston's, Gladstone's, and Russell's. Which of the three will finally obtain the mastery seems doubtful. Those who frequent the House of Commons tell us that Lord Palmerston and Mr. Gladstone have evidently been engaged of late in a contest for the supremacy,—and that the Premier seems to have had the best of it. He looks more vigorous and jovial than of yore. He chaffs my Lord Haddo about nude ladies, and merrily pro poses adjournment over the Derby. The joker has manifestly beaten the Jesuit, and the question now is whether he will be able to subjugate Lord John. tearing the two forrncr gentlptnen for futuro trent ment, we have now a few words to say about the hope of Plunder Priory. The present is the very crisis of his career. He is at bay with his Reform Bill, and will evidently be driven to do something. What do the Radicals expect from the leader of the Whigs. Edward Whitty, who died not long ago in Australia, in 1853 sketched Lord John's character from an ultra- Radical point of view. Mr. Whitty, the son of a very able Liverpool journalist, was about the best sarcastic delineator of character that has ever devoted himself to periodical literature. Radical though he was, he was a noble fellow : and heartily do we regret that he so early found to; solitary grave beneath the Southern Cross. By the long wash of Australasian seas Mr. Whitty, in his caustic photogram of Lord John, tells us that "a "Whig party is a real poli tical swindle; but a Whig party could only exist among a base and barbarous people." These ter ribly strong words are not ours, but a Liberal's. He proceeds to remark that Lord John Russell's " maladroitness is the result either of gross ignorance of the character of the English people, or of criminal intention to continae the reign of a stupid oligarchy and a rotten system; and, in either case, Lord John Russell is deserving of condemnation—as a simpleton, or as a conspirator. It is unjust, however, to judge him for one lathe ; and if we examine his career con tinuously, we shall find reason to suspect that he is not grandly criminal enough ever to have had a plan. In heriting Whig principles,' he has talked them eternally, and they have sounded very well ; and no doubt he has carried them out : but the only uniform result they appear to produce is—confusion. Since the Reform Bill there have been three difficulties for the English Government—Finance, the Colonies, Foreign Policy ; and, iu each direction, Lord John, with the aid of his friends, has admirably broken down. In Finance, Lord Melbourne's Government succeeded so far, that it left power in 1841, ten years after a Whig Aefona Bill, because it was yearly adding a de&eit of a million. Whig principles, which were, in finance, founded on Adam Smith's, should have suggested a repeal of the Corn Laws. But the Whigs were Protectionists up to 1846, then became Free-traders merely because a party manceuvre (which failed) required it, and to this day shake their heads and say, 'Pity the Tories would not take our Bs. fixed duty in 1846: And their Chancellor of the Exchequer, who succeeded Baring, was more dis astrous even than Baring ; though yearly, consequent upon the arrangements established by Sir Robert k'eel, he had a surplus, and not a deficit, to deal 'arith. Sir Charles Wood had no system, and none of his budgets grew out of the preceding ones! ; and if there are sound principles of finance now fixed in the public mind and in the public accounts, we are indebted to Sir Robert Peel and his Conservative pupil, Mr. Gladstone. And for the failures of Whig Finance Lord John is account able; or, if his friends maintain he was above finance, then, manifestly, he was below his office. For the Colonial system of the Whigs, he is fully as responsible as Lord Grey, and clearly in the colonies, Whig princi ples led to general insurrection—in Canada, at the Cape, in the Australias, in the lonian Isles. In India the Whigs never succeeded; and during all their rule they never sent a first-rate man or a first-rate measure there, the bill of last session, which Whigs drew up, being in the old Whig way—a complicated temporary cobble. Then, in foreign policy, Whig principles have led to the Russianising of Europe. One or two other questions have presented themselves during Whig rule for adjustment, and have been dismally dealt with. For instance, the question of religion and the question of educt , tion. Whig principles, which could permit the encampment of an alien ehurch in Ireland, and the maintenanee of Church rates leviable on Dissenters England,_ and the have led to an Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, aiudte;ad letter as a statute, and a living insult as a protes L rd John solitary justification of which, as e rendered necessary urged by o Russell, was, that it was a mea l : by a continual conspiracy against consequence of Whig g • B ur t England this con spiracy being, of course,h.principles have served but foreign policy. been obtained by the tax slightly to promote:thielfgchaasuse of e ducation.

They never did anything well—they never did anything thoroughly. The most striking illustration of their style of business was their mismanagement of the navy —of the defences. It took the Duke of Wellington ten years to talk them into a militia which, in the end, was so ludicrous an abortion, that they had to go out on it; and there can be very little doubt that if a general war, as was a probability, had broken out in 1847-1850, the English navy would have been beaten by the French navy,--for a time." Here are the Whigs sketched from the Radical stand point; and all their shortcomings are attributed to the "deficient character" of their leader, Lord ;Out Auroscil, Unquestionably Mr. Whitt) , was right : nor is there aof stronger proof of it than that the said leader is now subordinate in a Coalition Ministry, and submits to the guidance of a Nothingarian Premier and a Peelite Chan cellor of the Exchequer. If we examine Lord John's present position, we find that he has been consistent throughout his career. He is as great a failure as he was seven years ago. He acts as Foreign Secretary to a First Minister who notoriously controls the Foreign Otliee and the only duty which ho has to perform is to nurse a sickly Reform Bill which he heartily hopes may die of some infantile ailment. He has to endure the leadershiP of Lord Palmerston, whom he hates—and the patronage of Mr. Bright, whom he despises.—Plyhiouth LATEST NEWS.. IBY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPILI FRANCE.
