The English funds opened without any altera tion, and after a slight rise and fall returned to their first quotation. The demand for discount about the same as yesterday : very little done below 2 per cent. A partial reaction this after noon set in, the railway stocks dosing 3 to per cent. lower. Bank returns show an increase of £124,934 in stock of bullion.—Tinths. In the afternoon a decline of k per cent. took place in the funds, notwithstanding the increased firmness of the Paris Bourse. There was an active demand for money. The demand at the Bank continues steady, but is not likely to increase materially so long as good bills are taken in other quarters at 21 'per cent. No bullion operations at the Bank to-day. The demand for bills on Holland, Frankfort, and Hamburg continues, and prices were again lower. The other exchanges exhibit little alteration. In the case of Paris firmness was shown.—Daily News. COMMERCIAL. The aggregate railway traffic of the United. Kingdom, for the week ending. Nov. 19th, shows anincrease of £47,210 over the same week last year. It is reported that no call is at present ex pected on Lombardo-Venetim shares, but that in lieu there will be an issue of obligations for one million pounds. The Morning Herald says it is reported that the capital of the company which is to carry on the brewery of Messrs.. Calvert and Co., will be £600,000, in 24,000 shares. of £25 each. The Times,in its weekly review,' says, the pro duce, markets have been, firmer this week, and speculative en.quiry has slightly increased; in several cases 'further improvement in 'price is consequently observable, and transactions have taken place to a fair extent for export. The annual report of the Peninsular and Ori ental Company will recommend' a dividend of 31-- per cent., an additional payment of 11 p er cen t., .and a further 2 per cent. in connection with the Wilcox and Anderson Fund, making in all 7 per cent., which, with 4 per cent. paid in June, raises the distribution for the year to 11 per cent.

No doubt the depressed state of the trade in the south cf France has induced the French Iro n _ masters to endeavour to compete , more successfully ,with English Iron in these markets, the freight from Mar- , seines being very favourable for French produce, as compared with Liverpool for Staffordshire Iron. . The heavy edge tool trade here continues depressed; and although the large, cut nail works in Birmmgliam and Wolverhampton are generally working full time, there is greater competition among the iron manufacturers 1 for this kind of Iron; and on this' account Nail Sheets I arc to be had on easier terms, On the other hand a ' INTOR,T#ERN _ fair sprinkling of small orders has been received from South America, and the last advices from China are more . 'avourable, and a fair- quantity of . Rods et luperior quality are now being slit in the district for Canton s _ Shanghai, and other China ports. Several small orders have likewise Amen given out this week for -the East Indies and the Straits; On' the whole we have no change whatever to notice in the general tone of the market since our last report, fixed rates being adhered to by leading firms, Pig4reii The-market li:as:been quiet during the week. With the exception of one sale 'of 1,600 tons, at Birmingham, on ThursdaY, the business done has been trifling in StafThrdslaire Pigs since our last. The price for best Hydrates and superior All Mine Brands, continues firm, but for kinder ! Pigs, and all other inferior kinds, the market is ,woik and prices irregular. The Iron trade in Fronde, I can - state from personal information, been ,eonsiderably depressed during the last four months, particularly in the Departe ments ef the' Loire, Rh - One, and Gard, where'the business at the large foundries has been languid in-the extreme,. and up to the middle of October, not more than half the usual work was going on in the general foundry trade.. Since then more activity has prevailed in all these Deptirteinents:.''At:"th'e extensive *arks of die eminent firm of J. Mires and Co., St. Louis, near Marseilles, one of the blast furnaces has been blown out, and the ' large foundries of this firm, at St.,Lonias have felt: the depression, in common with other firms, although they arts still engaged cal a governmenttontract in thefoundry here. The large works of Montataire, which belong to the Montataire Company ; are-net in full work ;the-demand for Tin Plates, Turn Plates, and Cast Steplifor which the Montataire CoMpanY is faineus, hiving fallen off considerably; nevertheless these works continue tdlerably employed on Tire Bars, and large Plates and Sheets, of which they make considerable quantities. These 'works are situated close to the railway,. about 50 miles from. Boulogne, at Montataire: There are two-lal-ge steam hammers, , two squeezers, and twelve steam engines, exerting an assgregate poWer of 1,500 horse, in cluding the effective power of two water wheels: This work contains eight charcoal fires and eighty heating - and :puddling furnaces ; and the make of Tin Plates alone, when trade is good, is 26,000 boxes annually. The works at Verte Voir. pros Boulogne sur filer belong to the same company, and consist of two blast furnaces : one' of these has been blown out some time since, owing to the depressed state of the trade. Monsieur Muller, managing director here, is a.scientific man; he produces 130 tens of Grey Forge Iron per week from the furnace now in blast. Hot blast - is -used, and the gases from the funnel head of the furnaces are consumed to generate the steam, for the engines and likewise for 'the 'hot air Ovens, and act bessntifully, .4 Valenciennes, - there are five blast furnaces; two 'Of Which are bloWii. out.

The foundry here is one of the largest and most complete in Europe; and the extensive 'fitting, shops are replete with lathes of every , kind, and other machinery, which would do credit to, the shops Of' Manchester or "Newcastle-on-Tyne. A most extensive business is always carried on here in Pipes, Bridges, Girders, &e. In this foundry they have been better off than in most others in France 1 duririssall the year, haying some good orders on hand for. Russia and Spain. There are four blast furnaces here, all of which consume the gases for the boilers and hot air ovens, which answer ' maitrsuceessfiilly. 'There are two furnaces out of blast here. M.

There is little dcubt, we belie've, that the delay of the preparations' for the meeting of the Euro- Teat), Congress, is mainly 'owing to Austria. France has not found much practical difficulty, after all, it is understood, in its negotiations with England on the subject. We do not mean to say it is quite certain that there are no differences, of _opinion remaining between the two Governments; but they are not such as to be incapable of adjust ment before the time of meeting arrives. It is Aus tria, it is said, that obstructs the settlement of the -several questions relating to Central Italy, yet undecided,•thus presenting the most formidable obstacles to any such common agreement, respect ing the objects which the Congress are to keep in view, as may be necessary:to be adjusted before _Congress assembles. One of the most difficult of those questions, it is believed, is that of the Regency. The 15th of December had been fixed as the day on which the Congress should meet; but it is now considered scarcely possible that all the Plenipotentiaries will be ready by so early a day. It would now appear that it is not merely a " disarmament" on the part of France and , England that the French Emperor is anxious to promote, but one which, would have an extended range throughout the whole of Europe. If it be true that Lord Cowley is charged by the Emperor Ito renew his Iniperianlajesty's assurance of con ' ued fidelity to the good understanding he has always sought to. maintain with this country, and that .such reassurance is accompanied by ex pressions of his Majesty's earnest desire for a general disarmament' in Europe, we haves cer tainly better grounds on which to rest our hopes of peace than there have been in that quarter for Some time past. The announcement of this course, on the part of the, Emperor of the French, is said to have made a very favourable impression already, — lief only iii - his own - capital, - FuTaiewhefe. It is fortunate_ perhaps that France feels the necessity: of securing England's assistance, to, settle the Italian question; and this for far more important reasons than that England-48 7 in a position to re quire the aid of France in bringing the Chinese difficulties to 'a satisfactory termination. ' The Times has been discussing the Shipping Interest ; and very ingeniously strives to give quite a new turn to the question; contending that British shipping means sailing ships, not - steamers, and that. the former have a right to be protetted against the formidable 'rivalry of the latter. From this point, however, it diverges to another, and a very different one. " Whenever," . it observes, "the shipping interest, meet together,, they do 'so for the purpose of crying out against the repeal of the Navigation Laws, and generally show no inclination to go beyond this one topic. Yet on this point they have obviously no case at all." Now this, in the first place, is not strictly true.. A. meeting, for. instance, is to be held to morrow-in London, not "for the purpose of crying out against the repeal of the Navigation Laws, but to take into cons'.deration • the increasing de pression and pr.ese . iitt ruinous condition of the Shipping Inte'.eest, and to take such measures thereon as may be deemed advisable." It is not, we believe, the - wish of' the Ship ping Interest to repeal the Navigation Laws, but •-only to get• relief froth• such burdens and diSadvantages. •as . keep"AlitiS' great in terest in a state of ruinaiihnklepression in the new state of things created , by the 'repeal of the navigation laws. So far from the. Shipping Interest proposing a return to the prohibition of foreign ships, • our shipowners are only anxious that such ships should not have advantages over our own, but that there should be - a just and fair reciprocity: When, therefore, the leading journal asserts that this idea of absolute prohibition has taken possession of the minds of our shipoWners to the exclusion of every other, it states that which is a great. miarepresentation of their real wish and . intention. . • • By the arrival of the British and North Ame rican Royal Mail steamship America, we have intelligence, from. Washington,.to• -the 14th, and froth New York to the 15th inst., together with telegraphic . despatches from New York, - rid Halifax, to the 17th. The intelligence brought by this arrival is not of great general importance. Some uneasiness seems to be felt in the money market of New York, but no immediate contrac tion of ordinary business seems to have taken place or to be contemplated. • • An interesting letter. will be found in another column, exposing some gross abuses in the Liver- pool Workhouse. One would :have thought it incredible, had it not been vo uc h e d for on such respectable authority as that 'Of the gentlenian whose name is affixed to the communication; that a state or things like that described could exist in an establishment considered, to be under the vigilant control of a Parochial Board. It is evident that the confidence of that Board must be grossly abused by some 'Of ,the officials of ,flie establishment. °Ur Correspondent has taken up the matter, he declares, "On the score of humanity and justice ;" and there - is -no reason whatever to doubt it. Let us hope that it will be dealt with accordingly, and withont a moment's unnecessary delay. • WE took occasion, the other day, to contrast a patriot band of Volunteers and a large standing army, in the respective characters of their ideals . and this may suggest one conspicuous danger , . which attends the spread of the present warlike contagion among the general classes of the people. The hired soldier. may, at most points of his career, be left with tolerable safety to nurture his notions of duty and discipline upon inadequate motives; but the volunteer, if he be not a patriot all over, soon degenerates into a bald and in flated copy of his " regular" exemplar. The esprit de corps and the glory of his arms, fortified by a repressive system, animate the mercenary to great and heroic deeds, though national honour may be 'at the same time far removed 'from the real motives of the strife. But the volunteer can have little inspiration lower than the highest, and fights.for nothing short of the inviolability of his country 'and his home. It is natural, there fore, that his accustomed feelings—even when not in presence of the one great danger—should par take of the dignity of that which is at all times so exclusive an aim. The altar of patriotism should be fed with no false fire, and the motive which disdains all inferior association shopld be at all times paramount. Yet the nature of the materials we have to work with, even for the defence of a nation and for the repulse of the invader, teach us that we cannot repudiate the aid of inadequate motives. If the grace of a uniform an 3 the distinction of a title too often decoy vanity into the army, we must expect the operation of the same inferior impulse upon the Volunteer. If the soldier thinks, in the first instance, of little else than following a trade, we must expect to see the other content with a popular and flattered recreation. It .is but for brief intervals of ourmental history, that any of us, perhaps, but the very highest natures are conscious of the presence of the best motives ; we have at . most a . belief in. them--that is as, an ordinary condition of the mind, and on all but great occasions accidentally or unconsciously act upon them. Even :the. saint .neecls „the ,ap-- plication of a vivid spark to elicit his latent fire, and has ..to accuse himself of habitual dulness and lethargy. We have no reason to de spair, then, though we too often see the youthful Volunteer eager with nothing but the eagerness of sanity, and evidently oblivious to the true' ideal of his calling. When the present_ feverish apprehension dies off, and with its novelty much, of, the .popularity wears away, from the new movement, we must be fully prepared to see signs of a growing slackness and diminution of fervour among the irregular soldiery whom patri-: otism has summoned to her cause. We must not then forget, that whilst these national defenders will sink down into' the dull routine of the'ordi-: nary military life, they. will want the 'motives to attention and zeal : which a mum (sways finds in that which is his business.-- --To prepare for the revulsion of feeling which is so likely to follow a violent and spasmodic impulse, we shall do well by discouraging, as gently as may be, the factitious expression which the latter has a tendency .at present to adopt. Let not our Riflemen be encouraged - to—depend for their incentive upon the ' excitement of a public parade, the transports Of poPular ovations, or any' 'other of the pompous and superficial " circum stance of glorious' war." Let them not be en • couraged to seek opportunities for displaying the glories of a uniform, or dazzling the eyes of hilly women. • The well-bred gentlemen of the line will afford'theni an example of reserve in places .of- public resort; and it will be an ominous cir cumstance when the appearance of an officer's . ; dress is taken as signalising the 'presence of a " Volunteer snob." It is above all adviSable, that the contempt .of the' regular army should not be lightly Provoked ; and that no similarity should be affected, but in the general unity of object, and in a grave sense of duty. hue judiciously -- h a ndled, there can be T a , question that a Volunte er armam e n t sym bo lises the tn..' + est military spirit that can anim a t e is such military spirit as this which I , • people. J.- NOVEMBER 23, 859 by a natural reaction, both springs from patriotism and nourishes it, whose dem.; precludes the ref of a people, and testifies that that ruin is deserved , The possession by great generals or great tyrants of large standing armieS, does not denote the presence of that subtle and sympathetic fervour which rolls in . the veins , of vigorbus and virtuous race, and is the outburSt'of a deep and enthusiastic character. The true. military spirit is not manifested in the fussy wish to see pageant s and shout in a crowd after a Guy in armour. is its hollow caricature that we see,in thesight` seeing solicitude of a vain populace, or an idl e peasantry. Such an eagerness and such a delight are shared with the coward and with the child. Indeed, it is the most,pusillanimous that finds the greatest satisfaction in exhibitions of power ; o ld . an unwonted - glee in identifying hinagelf with the emblems of a danger in which he is not personallY , involved. Rome was indeed " a military nalpn , when :she was a nation of ,patriots ; but it I cas when every Roman was a soldier. Long aft er the Military spirit died out, with the patriotisal that gave it birth,. she was still the scourge of mankind ; and the whole„earth shook beneath th e tread of her multiplied legions. We would 130 t be the military power to imitate Rome is the most imposing feature of her decay. 111 ' unwieldy and bastard strength which overo. o vulgar ininds, speaks of no life-blood circulating at the heart of a nation. It is.as the expressie ll of patriotism that the military spirit shows O ld makes a people great, for it is only then that it i 4 raised to the power of self-sacrifice; and tesO es the courageous readingss to die for that Whic h we love. Whoever has the direction of a Volunteer corPsl let him bear in . mind that this is the suPet eminent manifestation of national life which he has charge of; which he has to encourage, t ° train, and to preserve. IT is important that the public should und er stand clearly what is the real object of the Rath ;$1 demonstration that is about to come off in tiver pool, under the auspices of those who call them" selves • the " Financial Reform Association'' '. Now, in the first place, let it be borne in niiildt that the great instigators of this proceeding, Oa those who are to, take n . leading part in it, are the " Advanced Liberals," as they are styled—which , being interpreted, means the Radicals. Trey want a radical Change in the institutions of the country. They want to republieanise our u' - stitutions. . Their ostensible end and on this occasion, it is true, is the further ance of a radiCal change in our financial system. But this would be only' a means t° another end—the great end of all—that of effec t ' . • ing organic changes in those institutions und er which this country has grown to its present hig h pre-eminence among the nations of the w orld.

LIVERPOOL CONSERVATIVE DAILY PAPER, THE " NQRTHERN TIIEES." IS well-eStablisheLDaily Paper;—Lthe first that was attempted in the Yrovinces,—is now, under a new proprietary; devoted to the interests of the great Conservative party. Its principles are, those so forcibly expressed by the Earl of Derby, at the recent titerpool Banquet, when he said, --"I speak,of tha.t.Conservatism.which is root obstructive, but which is the best poomoter of safe and gradual social improve ment,—of that. Conservatism which, strenuously adhering to the old machinery of the Constitution, adapts from time to time the various'parts of its mechanism to the real requirements and the real capacities of the age in which we live,—of that Con servatism which should give to all orders and degrees of men within this realm their due weight, authority, and preponder ance,-7of that.Conservatism..Whip4 loves thg interest& of the people at large 'mit will'itot be led away by the noisy denuncia tions of blustering demagogues, either to shrink at the voice of menace, or timidly to make concessions to large bodies of linen for the infitese-of <Alta - ming ktemivrily popularity, when 4 our hearts we believe . the concession of thos e co ve t e d b oons '-would be the worst injury we could iafli2t upon the classes it is sought to benefit." Such is the Conservatism of which the Northern Times is now the faithful and unflinching advocate : and never, perhaps, was there a moment when a temperate and - judicious application of the - Dhily Press to the espousal of its cause, and the dissemination of its principles, was capable of serving mote bitkeficial ptuiP2se.. . . _ Hitherto, the Daily Papers AP Liverpool have, one and all, . been exclusively in the so-called Liberal, that is, the Whig and Radical, interest. The Conservative cause' has now got AS - representative, and itCadvocatd, in the local Daily PrtsS. It rests with the Conservative party of Liverpool to decide with what efficiency this their Daily organ of the Press shall be maintained. . ,success has so . far been considerable,— the circulation already secured is lare and inc easing ; it is about three times more than itwai when it came' into - its pre sent hands,---and if all who are Conservatives will only sup port it with their advertiienients, and use their active influence to make it a profitable advertising, medinin, its prosperity, and 'therefore its influence, will -soon be powerfully strengthened . and confirmed. The late Derby Banquet cannot brit aroused the Con -servatives of Liverpool to a more active course of public duty ; and the obligation, in times like the present, to sustain a Daily Paper in their important interest, cannot fail to be; acknow ledged, and ought therefore to be acted upon.
