THURSDAY EVENING. coulddemand ; b u t d t Cotton, to-day, was n o t i n the market, although tame, repre sented as dull. The sales amountednot to bales, of which 3 , 000 were for expo r t, and 81r00 were taken on speculation. Surat was sold to a large extent. The market closed tamely, but without change in prices. The English Funds were firm at the opening, but fell off slightly towards the close of business. In the early part of the day Consols were quoted at 954 top from which they declined to 951 and ultimately 4. The Government broker bought £lO,OOO New Three per Cents. The London Railway Share Market was inani _autte—indeed stagnant. Most of the leading British stocks closed slightly lower in market 'value.

Foreign stocks and shares varied in a measure, but not to an extent to create great fluctuation, though there was a moderate amount of bargains, notwithstanding the ultimate adjustment of the English account.

(Frain Me Daily News City Article) WEDNESDAY EVENING.—In the - Stock Exchange to-day great dulness prevailed. This was settling day in Consols ; and in the afternoon, when the account had been virtually arranged, a little heaviness was shOwn, prices closing A- per cent. lower than 'yesterday. In the other departments of the Stock Exchange there was an equal deficiency of business. British Railway Stocks were rather weaker in the afternoon. Money was again in good demand in LoMbard-street to-day, and 21 per cent. was demanded for the best bills. The scrip of the New Indian Loan was officially markel to-day as 100 k. Owing to the realisations which were looked for at 100, the closing quotation was 99z to 100. The amount of gold sent into the Bank to-day was as much as nOO,OOO. , (From. the Times City Article.) WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The English Funds, to-day were firm at the commencement; but, notwithsta n di ng t h e large anivali of gold, the market was dull at the c l ose . At the Bank, to-day, there was a falling off for dis count, and the ' demand in the open market was less active, the best bills being readily negotiated at 23. Instalments in full were paid to-day on a further portion to the Indian Loan. The total amount paid up now amounts to about half of the' entire loan of £5,000,000. The Indian Council find it difficult to employ these unexpected resources even at 2 percent. FRIDAY,SITTEMBE:R 9; 1859 THE DAY'S NEWS By the arrival of the Vanderbilt at Southaw,p ampton, we are in possession of news from New York to the 27th ultiino, or one day later than that previously-received. - The intelligence thus brought does not possess any general interest. She brought 202 passengers, and $801,870 in specie. Commercial matters were much in the same state as represented"by'the'news preViously received. The Great Eastern is now fairly." off." In. addi tion to the statement we gave yesterday, in our early impression, of her successful passage down the. 'Thames to Purfieet, in the course of.the morning. we were enabled to publish a private letter from . one •on board who is well qualified to give an oPinian, and who describes her success as in all respects most triumphant. By this time she is far out at sea, and we shall now soon have her on the shores of this side of the Island. She has gOt over the worst of it, and her future career will, no doubt, be all that has from • the first :been expected. She has been successfully floated out of danger - in. the Thames; b,nd - yeSiday after noon reached the Nore in safety. The great problem of her being capable of navigation as a sert - go i r i g craft b i o.s; thus, in a great measure,. been bib... 411; Lurtiy SUL • . • , , . From an explanation which took place at the meeting of the Health Committe yesterday, it will be seen that the 'Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is to visit Liverpool to-day, for the purpose of examining the proposed site for the New Post-office, which it' is :Suggested - should be erected, in connection with the other Public Offices, on the south side of Dale-street. . Conspicuous among the indications of liberal feeling and comprehensive judgment, - which dis-: tinguish the mercantile community of Liverpool, must be ranked the peculiar interest which the leading men of the town .manifest in all that reou, rds,the successful : prosecntion of agricultural enterprise. The, reality of this feeling has been shown in many ways, and on many occa sions, but probably never more than by the liberal sum subscribed by them to the special local fund of the Manchester and Liverpool Agri cultural Society, unless, indeed, an exception be taken_ in favour of - the large numbers assembled iti the show-ground yesterday, and the deep interest which they exhibited in all connected with this important exhibition, To the reflective mind, there is something exceed- ingly suggestive in the 'circumstance of a great commercial emporium, and maritime harbour like Liverpool, being the arena for an Exhibition in Agriculture, in all its various and distinctive objects of rivalry' and competition,—rivalry in a national, and competition in a local point of view; as well as rivalry and competition generally, not to say universally,—this same Agriculture being an Interest of the country which a mere superficial observer might think was not at home in such a town as ours. But it is on this very account that the fact of an Exhibition like that witnessed yesterday, and to be again witnessed Dbjeets . and pursuits so very different, many of them so very opposite, to those of Agriculture, is so pregnant with interest and importance. The very title of the Society indicates the whole case It is the MANCHESTER and LIVERPOOL AGRICUL- TURAL SOCIETY. Here; then; we have Manufac_ tures, Commerce, and Agriculture combined. Manchester represents the Manufacturing, Liver- pool the Commercial and Maritime Interests ; and these meet and welcome and • encourage Agbricul- tore, as that great staple Interest of the country which must ever be regarded, aud treated, as the solid national basis of our country's prosperity' It is to the land after all, that we must look for stability, —for the stability of our political institutions, by the influence of those several conservative elements which are inseparable from a Landed and Agricultural community ; while it is the land on which, no less, Manufactures and Commerce, and even Shipping, must depend, because it is the ftundation of the great produc- five reso urces o f the country. Agricultur e , again, could never flourish without Manufactures, Com merce, and Shipping ; and , if A griculture did not flourish, of what little value would be the land ; for how could the Landed Interest of th e country ever maintain their high and p a l m y position—L-the highest and palmiest, in this coml. e th stl ere al ti l j ti f e, o_ e f c44 '<ai d i tile cou re, ntt: l 4 4a i4 the rt w rp o rn. rl „ d t4 —o at r Ihnotwer, ‘ti.;s. - r-Yow‘;ftli ;§ocial influences which are so indispensable to . the conservation - of our whole national system? Agriculture,, More over, is indebted to Manufactures, more especially, for those great mechanical and other improve ments which have: of lath years been introduced, and have contributed so manifestly to itsi pro- gress and, prosperity. No one can visit the great Exhibition, now holding here, and survey the vast range of Agricultural machines and imple- meats, and all those various means and appliances which are more or less directly connected with Agriculture, and not acknowledge ,how evident it is that these things are the consequences of the remarkable improvement which has been going on in Alio__Tnechanical _processes of our_manufac- turing operations. The introduction of improved machinery in our manufacturesbegan with our tex tile fabrics ; and it is to the: important results which were soon found to follow from its application in those operations, that is mainly owing the intro"- duction of similar mechanical aid to Agriculture. Further than this; it is the extension of Manufac- tures—the increase arid prosperitYrof the Manu facturing population—to which may be attributed the encouragement that theAgiicultural Interest of the country has recei;et, and by which it has been stimulated to augment and improve the pro ductions of the soil by such mechanical applica tions. There can be no doubt whatever thit the first experiment of free trade in corn, and other Agricultural products, if it had ever succeeded at all, would never have done so in so short a time, and with such signal success, but for the assistance which it Obtained from similar mechanical means to those which the Manufacturing Interest, _for whose more-immediatebenefit the experiment was resolved upon, had already proved to be so important, so necessary, and so profitable. Then, as to Com merce and. Shipping—see how, as regards this 'first great Interest, it re-acts upon Agriculture, as well through our Manufactures, as through the general trade of the country ;. while, as respects the second, since neither Manufactures • nor Commerce can be sustained without it, and even Agriculture itself would become exceedingly limited and Comparatively insignificant were there no - ships to' be the great contributors they are to the enterprise. of the country, as well as the indis pensable means of transport for so many of our natural and artificial products,—from all this, we say, it' must be admitted, that the Shipping In terest is essential to that Agricultural prosperity, of which there are so many significant and gratifying evidences at our Exhibition this week. To hold such an Exhibition, then, .at Liver pool, is not only most important, but most con sistent, and most interesting in every point of view. Our own merchants and traders, as well as the manufacturers and others, from different parts of the neighbourhood, who yesterday had the opportunity, as they will again have to-day, of examining- it in all its diversities, of horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry, machinery,, imple ments, roots, and seeds, and - those various other articles which connect themselves, more 'Or leSs directly, with Agriculture, cannot but be con vinced that, great and advancing though their own several Interests undoubtedly are, and con tributing, as most unquestionably they do, in an eminent degree, to our national prosperity and greatness, there is yet another and, in some res-' pacts, a distinct Interest, to which •the country is even more indebted, as being, that without which all the rest would become baseless, and liable, under any vicissitudes, to fall into decay. For ours is an insular position. And although, as we see, it is all-important that we should have as wide and general an intercourse as possible with the differ- ent and most distant quarters of the globe, -- we must yet, after all, in case of need, have our own native land to fall baelcupon; and be enabled to ufficient source NORTHERN DAILY Most of the continental money markets continue to show great ease.

As the poet so glowingly, ''_so patriotically exclaims of Eng- " Rich is thy soil, and merciful thy clime ; Thy streams unfailing in the summer's drought; Unmatched thy guardian-oaks ; thy valleys float With golden waves; and on thy mountains, flocks Bleat numberless ; while, roving roand their sides, Bellow the blackening herds in lusty droies. Beneath, thy meadows glow, and rise unquelled Against the mower's scythe. On every hand Thy villas shine. Thy country teams with wealth ; And property assures it to the swain, Pleased, and unwearied, in his guarded toil." An Exhibition like that which has called th these remarks, cannot but remind one of such.. a l panegyric as this on our country. But, at the same- time, let us not forget, that while such is our soil and our clime, and so varied and valued are its, products, we -have yet our cities full with the sons of art ; and in the busy streets, of all of them the hum of trade and industry is, heard ; and that we have others where commer- vial enterprise is pursued in all its ramifications, contributing to the animation and the prosperity of all the rest ; and that, even as well as those, we have also our crowded ports,—our own port of Liverpool, one of the most crowded of them all,— " Where rising masts an endless prospect yield All these interests, we say, are inseparable ; for they are contributing as a whole to the greatness of the country, and the happiness of the nation. Such- were our thoughts as we traversed the several departments of the Manchester and Liverpool Agricultural Society's show-ground, yesterday. And if these only be the thoughts of those of such varied pursuits in life, and ;with such diversified objects in view, as one may include in the countless throng which have already visited the Exhibition, and of those who will visit it to-day, one cannot but hope, that the effect must be, not to excite jealousy, but to arouse a feeling 'of consciouness, that Agriculture is, after all, one great main-stay of our country's welfare, end deserves, therefore, at the hands of all our other {spat national Interests, the utmost respect, encouragement; and support. ~- .-# RA 7 01114E115 tin never content:yr - 10161d °nuncio- . . . ting some fundamental change' in principles as the object of reform.. . A. mere amelioration. of details ; a removal • of defects in -an established system, is an object far too mean and common ! place to come up to the reach of their aspirations, or to All lip the comprehensive grasp of their genius.

Not even was Mania Chula based on the introduction of an entirely new system. it was not the,abrogation of worn-out or corrupt principles.in the Consti tution that animated- STEPHEN LANGTON ' one of that noble band of churchmen, who, in ages o oppression, .have so often stood between! the tyranny of kings and the weakness of the people ; but the necessity that old. principles should be more clearly ascertained and more conveniently embodied, and, above all, that additional security should be taken for their permanent and faithful , observance. Which branch oruThe - Roformation " has preserved th - E most stable aspect, and alone exhibits' life and progress at the present day, but that English part_ of it, which restricted its teMpered hand to details, and left the old principles in all their secret efficacy, though without some of the luxu riance they had contracted ? It is in this sense that Conservatives . are still Ram:niers; and Mr. BRIGHT, and his short-sighted .followers; constitutionalists and destructives, who aim at the subversion of the present political system, and the merging of all the different grades of the Constitution into a dead level of democracy. • The tribe, thew of out-and-out IReformers' still lives . and distresses the State. They flourish, and make a great noise, and swell themselves out on a small stage as well as a large. They cannot undertake to tinker at any corner of our political system without announcing some principle which is to throw a new character over the whole, and elaborate an entirely fresh machine, all right and tight, everything in its place, every proportion observed, every condition' provided for, all in' complete working order; like Minerva arnied, when Vulcan struck her from the broW of Jupiter. Amid this rage of reformation, 'Liverpool at least shoUld not forget that she also can boast her local Vulcans of this sort. On the subject of _Finance of all others, the Jupiter is labouring under the throes of a great principle. The Minerva has come forth from the "FinanCial Re form Aqsociation," and is flooding England 'with wisdom. Now—and to this we shall at present mane ourselvesthe first thing that strikes us is, here is a body of men, with the best intentions in the world, with considerable practical ability; amassing together a valuable amount of informa tiox, for the purpose of 'achieving visionary ob . jects ; and injuring their claims to favourable consideration, by the announcement of a wonder , ful , theory which is to make everybody happy, and every body rich . ; enables people to pay more, and yet ask from them less; relieve the poor of taxation, and yet lighten its .burden upon the rich ; which is, in short, to enable both rich and poor in numberless ways to both eat their cake and have it —a metaphor which we shall hereafter take the trouble to explain to our readers, the preSent we shall disraiss the' details of their magnificent scheme, with the warning derived from that lesson of history which we commenced by referring to.. Let not our Financial Reformers go wide of the mark. When amelioration may be effected, let them not spoil all by a Vain 'attempt at revolution. If they aim at too much, the result will be either a coniolidation of pre vious defects,' or that loosening:of foundations which must issue in universal confusion. --~- NOTES OF THE DAY. If the rumours respecting Prince Richard Metternich's visit to the French Emperor are to be relied upon, the propositions he was instructed to make on the part of his Imperial master were but preliminary to the inter view whietche was to endeavour to arrange - between the two Emperori. This, it is understood, he succeeded in accomplishing ; and it is now stated, that the inter view will take place at Arenenberg, the 'old 'abode of Louis Napoleon in Switzerland. Such, at least, is said to be the case. The interview,' however, is not likely to take 'place immediately, since the Rini of the Belgians has first to have an interview with the 'French Emperor at Biarritz," with the object of en deavouring to remove any remaining' obstacles there, may be to the final settlement of a definitive peace, and an adjustment of the Italian difficulties, Let us still hope that these objects may be at once effected. The papal interests at Romagna get worse and worse —for the particular advantage of the papal system, we mean, not for that of the people themselves. The unanimous declaration of the 'National Assembly there, that " the people will no longer submit to the temporal " Government of the Pope," is one that must bring the matter to a crisis pretty speedily now, and thereby test the sincerity of France and Sardinia, as to the practical question, which is involved therein, of Italian In dependencies. The hesitation of the Pope to direct his troops to advance upon Romagna, after having been thus set at defiance, would seem to indicate that he has at least his misgivings as to the support of either France or Austria. The presumed success of the Great Eastern experi ment,—presumed, from the facility and safety with which the gigantic ship was conducted through the intricate windings of the Thames, and got out to sea, will' mark a new epoch in the annals of our mercantile marine. It 'is an experiment on a scale of "magnitude in navigation which has not only never been attempted before, but probably not even dreamed of, as within the range of possibility. Its furthei development, there fore, cannot bitte_watcherl with anxiety by syr,Ski.ltA 4 pkig and Coliimet:kat there_be_a difficulty experienced iii•getting her round to Holyhead;• it may fairly be taken for molted that she will cross the_Ailantic successfully, and thereby establish a raealls ef communication with the-other side which, w,ketlicr. for its extent or its facilities, will probably afford advan-. to both continents of which we have hithertohaci no idea., , ...Now that the public interest, as to the effect of the Capital convict Smethurst, : has, in eon - legpence. of his reprieve, very naturally abated, he'is - becothing again a subject :of interestt r and curiosity, if riot - of with regard to his nitiniate i disiosal.: Many persons 'are of opinion, that as the respite was decided upon under the conviction that - he was not. guilty - of the capita crime of murder l by poison, it Must be followed by a free pardon ; while, on the other b an d, it is argued , that as it was more because his guilt was a matter of doubt, than`his innocence 'a - certainty, that the sentence will therefore be commuted to penal Servitude for life. The fact, however, of 'the two principal medical wit nesses, Drs. -Julius and Bird, -having, since the -respite' took place, reiterated, through -the columns of the lead ing journal,;that: their :Opinion as to the cause of hie yietim's,death "has not been in the least degree shaken," will, no doubt, have its influence with the. Som e Secretary ; and if it has, a commutation, rather than pardon, would seem to be the probable issue of t4is e 7 ", traordinary.casc._ . The London Builders' Strike appears more and more likely to work itself .ont; in the way we have alreadl suggested in these columns. The unemployed are not Only idle, and therefore weary of doing nothing, bu t they must be 'insufficiently fed, both they and their families.; and as the master builders have .resolved tha t all the yards shall be thrown open on Monday next, are quite prepared to find that a 'considerable number of the turn-outs will be glad to,.resume their occupation s. One fact stated is very significant. A large majority of the men are quite willing to return to work--irrespectiv e ` of the obnoxious declaraion- of the Masters---but are afraid to do so,_lest the remaining malcentents should" taste revenge upon them. In such a case as thi is another " Society' efidently wanting-an "6per 4 ' ,tives' Protection Society",-,Ao prOtcet them from the gicialion and. oppression of those of their own 1)4: 4 9 who are :not - content with doing a wrong thing the selves, but arc tyrannical enough to coerce others to d° likewise.
