The market for English securities at the open ing this morning showed rather an atlVance upon the improved feeling evinced at-the closing-yes terday, althoUgh the busineSs transacted was generally limited in amount.

The market for Foreign Stocks was not brisk or busy, but values were decidedly firmer than those of yesterday, with some advance in value established on almost every transaction. Mexican and Russian have each recovered per cent. ;. Dutch Certificates are 4 to I better; Original Turkish - have risen to 762 to 77, and the New Sixes to 60.1, a.. New Victoria Loan is quoted 110 and New Indian ditto at 1034 4.

THE "NORTHERN TIMES." IHIS -well-established Daily Paper,—the first that was attempted in the Provinces, 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 Liverpool Banquet, when he said, --"T speak of that Conservatism which is not obstructive, but which is the best promoter of safe and gradual social improve inept,—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 acrid the real capacities of the age in which we live,—of that Con servatism which should give bY all orders and degrees of men within this realm their due weight, authority, and preponder ance,—of that Conservatism which loves the interests of the people at large but will not 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 men for the purpose of obtaining a temporary popularity, when in- our hearts we believe the concession of those coveted boons would be the worst injury we could inflict upon the classesit (s 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 Daily Press-to the espousal sf its cause, and the-dissemination of its principles, was capable of serving more beneficial purposes. Hitherto, the Daily Papers of Liverpool have, one and all, been exclusively in the so-called Liberal, that fa, the Whig and Radical, interest. The Conservative cause has now got its representative, and itS advocate, in the local Daily Press. It rests with the Conservative party of Liverpool to decide I with what efficiency this their Daily organ of the Press shall be nituatwined. Its success has so far been considerable,: — the circulation already secured is large and increasing ; it is about three times more than it was when it came - into its pre sent hands,---and if all who are Conservatives wilt only sup port it with their advertisements, and use their active influence to make it a profitable advertising medium, its prosperity, and therefore its influence, will soon be powerfully strengthened and confirmed. The late Derby Banquet cannot but have 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 aoknoiy ledged, and ought tUerefore to be acted upon.

Editorial and Printing Offices, 40, LEIGH STRIIRT, Parker Street. g4t cilort4tru ,caints THURSDAY; NOVEMBER 17, 1859 , 'THE DAY'S NEWS. • The. Times appears to have created great ex-- citement by its recent article on France. Thee tone-of that article was decidedly warlike ; and its object could scarcely be mistaken, as being intended- to prepare the public mind for a French. invasion. What ground the leading • journal' had for taking such a course it is not for us to say. The . ' other London journals appear- to take it for granted: that there was no ground, ,for it . whatever. They characterise the suspicions of their contemporary as unworthy , and unjustifiable. The Daily News' 'describes - the course pursued as " neither discreet nor dignified.' The MoTning Post descrilies it as " a wicked and wanton alarm" --"-specially designed to put the blood of the nation up ;" and all this founded upon nothing, it contends, but supposition: or assumption. The , Morning Star takes -a still more serious view of it ;_ maintaining that a plot is on foot, which con templates the plunging of:England and France into.war,—a crime certainly, as it is justly de.t scribed, of great enormity—if it be tree. Thera 'was an attempt to take advantage on 'Change of the alarm thus sought tobe-excited; but, consols, instead of declining, actually advanced. The news received yesterday from America is not of any great importance politically ; but we regret to find that the- commercial intelligence from Canada, which it includes,- is not of a very favourable character. Fkom , the 'United States the principal topic of interest was still that of the Harper's Ferry rebellion. It was already known that Brown;therebel chief, was senterxed to be exec ted on the second of December. But we now learn that his counsel has given notice of appeal to the highest tribunal of Virginia. Some new postal arrangements have been. con cluded by the United States Government with the Canadian Post-office department, which. will r facilitate the transmission of letters to and from this, country and the States, as well as Canacla. At length, it would seem, our Government has received an invitation to the approaching Con gress -of the Great Powers of Europe on the , Italian question. The letters of 'in vitation. are said' to have been transmitted by the French - Government to all - the - Powers - who signed the great treaty of Vienna: It remains, to. be seen what her Majesty's Ministers will decide upon doing. We can only repeat the expression of our humble !opinion, that it is a negociation that will require to be entered into by. any British plenipotentiary with very great caution and reserve, if we are to remain free, as it is so desir able that we should do, from foreign entangle ment. Preparations for the contested representation' of Scotland Ward seem Still to be carried on with unabated vigour. The Conservative voters in the ward are indefatigable in their exertions to secure the return of Mr. Came, and he on his part sppears equally on the alert to , second their efforts. Last night he again addressed two meetings of the electors. at distant points of the ward; and .to-morrow we perceive he will for a third time_ discharge a__ similar duty. It is gratifying to observe — with -- Vilna - success he _now throws off the natural and habitual reserve which for many years interposed a serious obstacle to his undertaking any prominent share in public business. As an able man of business, he has been long known and generally . appreciated; to the qualities which are indispensable in forming such a character, he is now found to add oratorical capabilities 'of no ordinary kind, and at each successive meeting with the electors he succeeds more and more in making his way into their good graces, and kindling their enthusiasm in his favour. His friends are justifiably sanguine as to the certainty of his return. One of those gratifying instances, which for tunately are not unfrequent, of recognising in trepidity, and cornmending: - the -- self-sacrifice implied an risking one's own life to save the lives of others, occurred yesterday in the Sailors' Home. The instance referred to is that of - presenting the Gold Medal of the Royal National Life-boat. Insti tution, to John Rogers, the Maltese sailor, .who swam : ashore with a rope from the wreck of the Royal Charter, by means of which, nearly - all who were - reseued-,--had- their -lives saved. Rogers, we believe, though a native of Malta, and speaking very bad English, is 'the scin of English parents. To add to the heroism of the act, we may mention that when another was ;ordered to perform, the perilous duty, who was a married man, Rogers petitioned that he might be allowed to go, on the ground that t he was " single."

We can heartily second the wish of Mr. Alder man,- DOYER, expressed-at Tuesday's meeting of Mr. CARNE'S friends, that the day had arrived when. " the subject of politics should not be men- , " tioned in connection with Town CounciL busi " ness," But we agree with him that that day has not arrived yet. We will say more r that ordinary political convictions •should not be held to disqualify • any man- for Town Council honours, or to prejudice` his claim upon the patronage of his fellow-citizens. Though there 'will always. be among, the latter, preferences between candi-. dates which-inevitably take a political turn ; andi rightly so, when the true interests of the commu-: nity, and the special duties of the office sought: for, are held not subordinate but supreme. But, — as we have thought it of sufficient importance to repeatedly dwellupon, = we do . as firmly believe that there is a political temperament which should be, even on the municipal stage, met with a direct political diseountenance ; and that there is a political creed whose articles should be on all occasions, *and through every avenue,. straitly , anathematised.. If there be men, most of whose public acts are directed or - influenced by claSs ha tred,—By a rooted and cross-grained disaffection to all the favours of national, and local life, - -the least that can be said is, that they have no place in the present system of things, and are self-excommunicate. We wish our local directors of affairs to, be reasonable, moderate; and deliberate, men ; of sufficiently wide sympathies, pains -taking and earnest in their own . efforts, and- not, inapprecia tive of the assistance, .or jealous of the achieve ments of their colleagues. We wish all, in fact, in the Council Chamber to put in the background, as much as possible, political convictions, and keep in view one object=namely, the, unity for good and useful ends of the whole representative municipal body. Now, we think the Scotland Ward electors have a special opportunity of : strengthening their magnanimous, and patriotic spirit; or at all events a very- dangerous oppor tunity of strengthening its opposite. Judging from the general tone of his. speeches, before his aspirations on a previous occasion had 'met with their discouragement, we have a decided impres sion that the rejected:of St. Alines Ward. would go into the Council to strengthen that small; but active, phalanx: of unquiet spirits, who poison public deliberations by universal antipathies which are never.allowed tosleep; who sympathise with: nothing existent, and nothing moderate or_ usual, but have one desire only—to have things. their own way. Now it is for. the very- purpose of excluding as, much as possible from Town Council business the political animus, that we appeal to the electors of Scotland Ward' tcn return Mr. C. F. CARDM, who . is a Conservative.. We wish the Council to, teCome more: Conservative, that it may become less political. We wish. to see returned men with. political convictions,, that they may with mere"' vigour discountenance political animosities. - We wish, in. short, to see a strong body of Conserva tives in. the Council, that the arrogant and rest less set of extreme politicians of the other•school may have less chance of propagating theirfactious and pernicious spirit. : Does 'it seem appropriate that the• course of municipal business should be interfered with by the obtrusion of class hatreds? Or what can the latter show, except the existence of a virulent political spirit which disqualifies men from any real and conscientious service to the public ? nothing, for instance, can be more just and con venient than to exercise a careful discrimination in the choice of the Chief Magistrate of the town, and of those who shall bear Aldermanic hononrs; It may well be that each of us may have a pre judice against this man or that, and fix our choice on, a more promising competitor. But it is no less, clear that, if not content with exercising our judgments with moderation and care, we include under class a whole body of public servants, and, by virtue of that classification, set upon them an indiscriminate ban, as if excluded from all claims upon the respect or support of their fellows. We show a moral unfitness for the execution of public trusts which require that conscience and good smile should keep in check prejudices and animosities. _ The man who his no point of ordinary sympathy in which we can all of us find an interest and an attraction, ought not to be imposed even upon his political opponents, and is unworthy of toleration for bearance. He is nothing but an example of that or v o e f r r a i d u e all p subtle intolerance of spirit which bids fair to and ask them whether a th n e d u a n ll ed r u el c i a g th io d n. and super ficialto"mdeno political minds ma of y th a i p s pe a a g l e , - -But we t'll o P sin ini h o i n li s aa i l n llarlarge degree, patriotism; Scotland Ward, NORTHERN DAILY TIME S . cent. higher than yesterday. -In the other departments of the Stock Exchange gloom was observable in the morning, but a rath er decided ad -vance took place in the afternoon.
