CURRY, KELLOCK, and CO., BROKERS FOR THE SALE AND PURCHASE O . ;'',TA OF SHIPS AND STEAMERS, SHIP VALUERS ifia4a," , AND APPOINTED BROKERS To THE HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY Walmer-buildingg, eet MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Friday Evening. In the Cotton Market, to-day, a considerable amount of business was done, the market having opened with a fair demand, at steady prices. The sales amounted to 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 Were for export, or taken on speculation. Con cerning the week's transactions, Messrs. George Holt and CO., in their weekly circular, published to-day, make the following remarks : "The steady daily demand for the middling . and better qualities of American, free from sand and dust, is gradually reducing the stock of Cotton, and giving to what remains on hand an increasing . value ; this will continue to be the case until the first few cargoes of the new crop arrive. The low and dusty sorts are unchanged in value, abun dantly and pressingly offered for sale, but most difficult to - realise. We now quote midling - Uplands 6d. 13-16ths ; Mobile, 7 1-16 d., and Orleans, 7 3-16 d. The com mittee of brokers place fair Uplands; 71d. ; Mobile, ; and Orleans, 71d ; these quotations we consider a distinct kd. per lb. too low. Surats have been in good demand, but are freely offered at former prices. Brazils and Egyptians are without change in value. The accounts from America of the growing crop are generally very favourable, all, as it appears, that is now wanted to secure a large yield, being continued fine weather throughout the aatilinn season. It is with regret that we lola complaints of sand and dust even in the early arrivals at the shipping ports ; we trust that buyers will take such measures as will remedy this growing evil. 570 American, 1,630 Surat, and 100 Egyptian, are re ported to have been taken on speculation ; 8,060 Ameri can, 7,040 Surat, 70 Egyptian, and 50 Pernam, for export; so that the deliveries to the trade for the week have been about 48,500 bales?' r i M e e ai s k w e Market rnee t , The Liverpool Share p quieter ; very little business w d to- day was close the tone was flat, °- lo ana w d , and at the they manifested a drooping tendency. the week ther e was a good deal of excitement !II the Share Market, and a large business was done, chiefly by speculative buyers, at an advance of 11 to 2 per cent. on last week's prices.

Coffee has net With only a circumscribed sale, of a retail character as regards extent., Sugar - hfts been in better request, and a slight advance in valae was effected; but this had the effect of checking business. For Rice, an improved demand was experienced. Beef and Pork, for naval stores, remained without attention. LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE. LONDON, Friday Evening. In the English Stock Market, the adverse influence which has been in operation for the last few days still continues, and prices of most stocks have suffered a decline. Consols opened an eighth lower than the final quotations of last night, and atone period - of the morning fell to 95Z, and-sub sequently a reaction set in, but it did not approach the opening price, and the latest quotation for Consols stands at 96k- sellers for money and account. Bank Stock has been dealt in at 223, 222, and 224; Reduced Three per Cents., 94Z; 95, 94; 1 , ; India Stock, 223 and 2211 ; Ditto De bentures, 97 ; the Bonds, 2 and 5 prem. ; and Exchequer Bills, 28s. prem. The market for English Railway Shares has likewise been unfavourably affected, and values have receded in nearly every ,instance. Cale donians, Brightons, South Westerns, Midlands, Berwicks, and South Easterns are respectively per cent. lower. Other varieties are heavy in proportion. In the Foreign Stock Market very little busi ness was done, and prices were scarcely main- . tained. Mexican, Spanish, and Portuguese, all exhibit heaviness._ Original Turkish Six6s have ,receded to 79, showing a relapse of 1 to 1 per cent. New Indian Loan is quoted at 103 1, and the New Russian Scrip 1 to, 1 dis. The quotation for French Rentcs at 25 minutes past twelve was 69 45, with a flat market. THE FUNDS.-CLOSING practs, Con.

There has been again a fair , demand for money, and the rate in open market is 2 : 1 'to 2 per cent. The principal feature in the railway market, to-day, has been a demand for Indan guarantee shares, in most of which an advance has taken place. Tina& Consols closed to ti per cent. lower than yesterday. A few of the dealers and speculators, who had picked up stock on the late advance, showed a disposition to realise. Some of the other departments of the Stock Exchange sympathised with the flatness of consols, but there was no retrogression in prices. Demand for money moderate.

As might be expected, this: shameful couduct on the part of the workmen called forth their mployer's indignant denunciations. But the week folkwmg we find the paper make its appearance as usual, but with the following notice :---‘ The Reporter of this week is entirely composed by ourselves and our family, and bah scribers will, it is hoped, on that account, excuse errors.' We are bound to say thatt o h u e atel„ workmanship. was only less creditable th an the spirit and resolution wAth which diffi- THE DAY'S NEWS. There is likely, it seems, to be a war,' after between Spain , and Morocco. The Moorish emperor has, at the last moment, made such an un satisfa•Aory declaratiOii, it is said, that the Spanish -GOvernMerii has now resolved to have recourse to iI,IIIIS. One of the difficulties of her Majesty's Govern ment, Alt the present moment„ it is believed, re lates to,tho approaching Congress at ,Brussels, on Italian affairs. ftWouldappear - that'a majority .. of the Cabindfremains decidedly opposed to entering a Congress . on the subject, upon any such basis as that of the . Zurich treaty.' The Premier's daily organ of press asserts, it will be seen, that it were an, idle trifling with the of ,of " England, and the hopes of Italy, to expect that, " in this country, any Statesman at all worthy of "the name, would hazard-his own reputation, and " the national 'honour intrusted to his care, by " entering such a Congress." Five Cabinet Councils haVe now been held within six days, The Premier, and the Chan• cellor of the Exchequer, were both-absent from that held on Wednesday, but at the Council . on' the following day, they, again made their ap-. 'pearance. It will be seen by the results of the revision of the South Lancashire electoral list for the. Hundred of West Derby, which we give in another column, that there is a total Conser— vative gain, in the five townships, of nearly one thousand voters. This, with the other .gains throughout this division of the county, renders its retention in the Conservative interests so sure for the future as must discourage, one would think, all idea of opposition on the part of the Liberals: '. The important question of Church-rates was again brought under considereration and discus sion last night, at a meeting held in the school' room belonging to St.. Paul's . Church, Prince's park. The meeting, which was numerously at tended, was addressed by the Rev. Dr. M'Neile, who, in his remarks, pointed out the untenable nature of the objections taken by dissenters against payment of Church-rates. He argued, and by his arguments showed distinctly, that as a charge upon property, all property acquired by dissenters, or any other parties, was purchased under condition of that burden, which if struck off, would only enhance the money-value of that property by the propOrtionate value of the rate so struck off. The meeting was also addressed by the Rev. Dr. Hume, and . other clergymen. ,A resolution was adopted expressive of the opinion that an abolition of Church-rates, without some compensating equivalent, would be unjust. In . another portion of to-day's paper we chronicle the funeral obsequies of Robert Stephen , son,:Rar exCellence the Engineer of his day. The 'loss of such a man is an event in the way of national bereavement, and as such all right minded men must look in solemn contemplation en the scene and its remarkable concomitants. The past history of • the family of ' Stephenson, though compriSing only a brio i' 7ri :0,1 in Vat- lqnse cf time, is nevertheless irnmlasc 'a its connection fal(:;.;:i. Only about i.._ - ,l',:se-quartiarki of a century have elapsed since a poor, uneducated; but .singularly industrious lad received permission to " tend" the working of a steam engine, in the neighbourhood of Newcastle. - The was unfurnished -. With worldly means ;- was entirely without influential friends and had no knowledge of the resources which lay within his own teeming brain. To work he set, however, resolved to overcome the obstacles which his own ignorance interposed between him and a full knoWled_ge of the mighty implement he had the care of. Difficulties vanished before the unflinching energy of his investigation._ He mastered the instrument he had charge of, and did more. He synthetically devised one to sur pass in wondrous application all the marvels achieved by its predecessor. He perfected the mechanism of railways, and constructed a machine by 'which they could be made to revolutionise, and by revolutionising improve the intercourse of the world. In other words, he invented and rendered practical the railway locomotive engine. He did still more than all this, however, perceiving how much he lacked of elementary training, he gave to his son so much of this latter, aided by his own pre-eminently practical sagacity as enabled that son to perfect a system of motive action, such as no epoch of the world ever witnessed or even dreamed of—to perfect the arrangements of rail way operation. Yesterday saw the mortal remains of that son entombed among the men whom the British people delights to honour. How beautiful and how inviting an illustration of the wholesome working of our constitution was here exhibited. " Many great men," says the Globe, " have been buried in West minster Abbey, but we have no records of such a scene as that which we witnessed this morning. Public interest had been awakened, and people flocked by thousands to the Abbey to witness the solemn ceremony." After such a scene who shall say that, in this country, merit meets with no adequate reward ? It is true that in this country no theatrical eulogium is poured upon the grave of departed greatness ; but the tribute of national appreciation and gratitude is not less rendered by the silent admiration of a thankful people, such as that which yesterday honoured the last indication of respect contributed in memory of - Robert Stephenson. Italian difficulties and dangers. appear to con• tinue, if not to multiply. It is now rumoured that Neapolitan troops have been landed at !Ancona, and considerable excitement is also said to prevail in Piedmont, occasioned, it, is averred, by dislike to the conditions of peace agreed upon At Zurich. Tip; Italian anoTc aly becomes more inexplicable, and even more grotesque,'as it is made to assume more and, more the character of a diplomatic arrangement. Was there ever peace signed before; the articles of which will have to be conquered by another war; the.formal conditions of which are nothing but speculative proba bilities ? The position is such as to baffle all the logic of international jurists, and actually to turn he diplomacy of two powerful Emperors into the serious trifling of children. The Zurich treaty is based , upon an Italy intact, except as regards the portion of 'Lombardy up to the ac cepted frontier line. Not a hint does it give of the doubtful position of the Duchies, or of the forfeited allegiance of the States of• the Church. It is taken for granted, that things are much as they were, and that what has been deranged in the inevitable confusion, will soon right itself, and, without external pressure, fall into the old groove. But at the very time this farce or fiction is being enacted, a perplexing sort of bye-play is going on in which one of the actors is not wholly unconcerned, and which is nothing but a counterplot to the jwhole arrangement. Whether from feelings of humanity, or from motives of self-interest, there is no doubt that Louis NAPOLEON, has, in a man ner, coquetted with the revolted provinces of Italy, and has countenanced VICTOR EMMANUEL in the same course of conduct. If there were no suspicion of French complicity, there would be little difficulty to Austria in re-establishing the banished governments, or at least little delay in adopting measures for their restoration. The perplexity of the case is this, that the French Eniperdr has to sustain the character of friend to VICTOR EMMANUEL, as well as to FRANCIS JOSEPH ; and that the memory of late achieve month, as well as the prestige of the great "idea," will not suffer him to snub the national but ille gal demonstrations of the revolted Italians. But, in ordinary circumstances, countenance afforded to this after - movement of the national party • should •be a very decided cause of disagreement between France and Austria. What was the meaning- of the peace so abruptly concluded or prepared for at Villafranca, if its condi tions are to be violated ? Why did Louis NAPOLEON regret his inability to accomplish :his mission, if, before the eyes of himself and his old enemy, it is to be accomplished by ' other hands ? Why should it have been the cause of a stunted and disappointing' arrange ment, that the French army were usable to wres t all her Italian possessions from Austria, if the efforts they were obliged to relinquish, other hands are encouraged to continue ? The revolutionary ; movement in Central Italy, Louis NAPOLEON patted upon the back, openly encouraged to labour and to hope, and to wait the promise of better things. If, then, he has been unwillingly compelled to withdraw his assistance and leave the rebels in the lurch, —ordinary fair dealing and honesty, it would appear, call upon him to offer a decided opposition to the continued revolt, and throw his influence, unreservedly, into the Austrian scale. We must say, that if Louts NAPOLEON was unable to surmount the circumstances, and was mastered by unexpected. difficulties, Austria - , y5,11,1 it runz the a i l; o f Leing vio 'occupies b wa u eh t da a e humiliatingtvreeratoyi enforcing,which p F o e i s rt i ah t n i e o cr n e . h S a hse materially n i o s brought to the necessit y of accepting from France a intention em p n r ot e ir ti li n i y LIVERPOOL PRODUCE MARKET.—Ocr. 21.

There was' an average attendance of bnyets at our market this morning, yetthe transactions in Wheat were extremely limited, and the prices of Tuesday barely sus tained. Flour sells to the bakers in retail at full rates, : and in the absence of importations" our stocks are getting into a more moderate compass. Oats command our , highest quotations ; and the tendency of Oatmeal is to n Slightimproieinent. Beans, Barley, and - Peas sell slowly; without any change in their value. Indian Corn meets with more inquiry, and is held for our extreme currency. This week's returns of the sales of British Wheat are 128,613 quarters at 125., Gd. ; corresponding • week of 1858, 105,803 ditto at - 425. 4d. ; ditto - of 1857, :.';2,13'2 ditto at 555. 10d. There were ordylew transao , lops - in, Wheat at to-day's market, and prices ruled a trifle ,easier. Prime Flour sold moderately well at Tuesday's prices. Oats and Oatmeal were firm, and in sore: cases :rather dearer, as also were. all articles for feeding purposes: Barley, Peas, and Indian Corn, the recent ,cold weather Causing a general improvement of demand. The country markets continue to be largely supplied with old Wheat by the farmers, so : that the stocks of dealers and factors (in granary) have scarcely..yet been 'touched, ARRIVALS Froip. the 18th t,;) D EXPORTS ith October, inek,ive.

(TlJ't tlia'fil.eril ..(Tiiii6 SATURDAY, - OCTOBER 22, 1859, ®CZ DEER 22, 1859 lated in Italian interests. To - suppose, - . was once suggested, that Louis NAPOLEON- Will in terfere to protect the revolted. Italians from Austrian armies, would be carpying the insincerity of the occasion too far, and making the treaties' of governments entirely, the playthings of the' idlest caprice, and of the most : transparent dis simulation.. If NAPOLEON accepts the-Old•Austria n and legitimate system, as the normal state of the Italy which he himself could not conquer, he has no right to interfere between governments and their subjects. If he does not accept, let hint throw this treaty, whose ink is not yet dry, int o- " the fire, and again take up the sword. But if the latter weapon was too weak in his hands, to expel Austria and her ducal allies from Italy, it le ' a manifest violation of good faith to attempt it by any other and indirect means. If he accepts the old legitiniacy as the basis of a fornial and written arrangement, honour forbids his acting in all underhand way, on just the reverse understand ing. Louis NAPOLEON, therefore, will, we should think ; keep his hands off, whoever calls him t ° the rescue. Faithfulness to treaties .will preveat his interposing against Austria. Respect for the " idea " which he himself was unable to elaborate, but which he will scarcely dare openly to frus trate, will keep him from seconding the efforts ° f the stranger to seize upon his old and forfeited abode. But as for England coming down from her present high position, into the thick of this anomaly,—it is almost too absurd to think o f The complication, as regards European diplomlei , is as pretty a one as any Edipus could well be engaged on. But England is not the (Edipus for the occasion. Unless on the basis of the Zuric h treaty, how, in the present stage of affairs, call 3 Congress be held ? But such a basis, for future arrangements, France shows her real disinelie a : tion to accept ; and above all, the very mention 431- it shuts the mouth of England, and takes aw e 'l from her all opportunity of giving counsel or assistance. WE build Mechanics' Institutes all over the coun try, and, for such a purpose, we can collect all: 04 any amount of funds, so long as. this continue°. the hobby-horse of the day. Private bale" volence, and individual liberality, generously falling into the spirit of the age, with princely munificence, erect, as we have such striking, testimony of in this very town of Liverpeol' public libraries, museums, and the like, to enab le such as have received, at least, an elementarY education to dive deeper into the treasure-house of knowledge. This is all well enough : it is , in theory, most inviting ; and would be highly be neficial in practice also, could those for whose' good it is designed only avail themselves of it ' Butthelo those nghou for whom Mechanics' rswhichyoungmen, even of a" class above Institutesare provided, are kept at business and , att lirtice°° must render nugatory those means of self-improve ment which are thereby placed within th eir reach. We are apt in this, as well as in 0 00 . matters connected with social improvement, t°l overlook the class which, equally with that of t ile mechanic and the artisan, should engage our 0° 11 ; • tion,—a class which forms an important i ntegral portion of the community ; and for whose esPe cial benefit lectures are delivered and libraries are formed. It is a class composed of those who e at ; not, generally, enjoy those opportunities, gar ko a. they are so much mistimed and overwor Most true it is, that something has been don e for es sli a portion of that class of young men, by the , made closing movement, through the appeal - • so to the public, that has been partially, but ac' t to i completely as we should like to see, respondediaot for shopping at reasonable hours.

Young men who are over-0 06 : o t and over-wrought, must, of necessity, be in a g e I measure incapacitated for either healthful eserc° or intellectual exertion. sPe - The case which we would first and mos t e cially point to, is that of the druggists' a ssist th e and apprentices, who are closely confined t° , 111+ counter, vending and compounding, for t h e reasonable period of often fifteen or sixteen h° he he'_.er• a day, and liable, during the night, to hav e PP feverish and unrefreshing sleep broken b y a". niv 0. • cations in some special case of sickness requir ea, immediate attention.
