CUMMEItO lAL• LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING. Tin Cotton 'iljarket. In the Liverpool Cotton Market during th e past week the improving tendency noticed last Friday was completely checked by the -appre hended drain of specie to America, arising from the present derangement of monetary affairs there, and consequent probable increase in the value of money here. The daily demand was of a very moderate character, and with an overabundant supply, prices of American showed much irregu larity, and may be quoted 1-16 d to kd per lb. down. Brazil and Egyptian were in moderate request at old rates, but Surat was dull of sale. The weekly sales amounted to 49,350 bales, of which 3,320 bales were .on speculation and 2,690 for export.

The Liverpool Corn Market to-day was largely attended by millers from many districts of the interior, from the south and east of England, and from Ireland ; with an active inquiry and large sales of Wheat, almost entirely for consumption, the average advance was 2d per cental upon the rates of Tuesday, while even more has been mad upon medium descriptions, which had previously sustained the most depression; except by cabin samples, little of this week's arrival was offered on the market. Flour found a better sale at an improvement of 6d per barrel, but in sacks there appeared no:amendment in value. Indian Corn • met a good sale 'at a decline of 6d per quarter. In other articles no change worthy of notice.—The tone of the trade has improved in the provincial markets, and a steady and more general business is revorted, even the new English Wheat having at length acquired an ascertained Matite value ; the Liverpool market, with its large supply of Wheat, is becoming more attractive, and a good quantity has been taken off in the interval since Tuesday, at prices fully equal to those of that day, and with the tendency rather in sellers' favour ; this morning we had an apparent cessation of the heavy rains which have prevailed for ten days, but towards evening it commenced to rain as , severely as ever ; the land is saturated with moisture, and in some districts extensive tracts are deeply covered with water, while in others very little seed has yet been got into the ground. Our im ports of the past three days comprise 100,000 qrs. Wheat, nearly 60,000 barrels Flour, and 16,513 qrs. Indian Corn, almost all front America..

You hav'e, seen some very. sensible men in this country, Albert Edward, and you must remember them; you have Sen nearly all of our snobs and lick-spittles, and you will not kethember them. Nobody, besides such, expects you will. Yon have heard that tune " God Save the Queen" a great many times, Renfrew, but you have persistently whistled Dixie's Land." You have been very much squeezed, Albert Edward, and it will be good for you.-. You have been rubbed against, and it will make you bright. A great many stories have been told about you, Mr. Wales, some of which arc true and some false. You have worn very good clothes, but not a handsome hat. You have ridden about with some very good horses, and you have received some of our choicest variety of mud turtles to take home. You have visited institutions which you didn't care a snap about, and you have danced with some of the best dressed old ladies in America. You like to dance, but you don't dance the Lancers very well. Still you are a pretty clever fellow. If you lived in this country you would stand a chance to be ruined, Albert Edward. You Would certainly join a fire company, and then you would be sent to the (Ammon Council, and then you might be elected to CongresS, and you would lose your self-respect; and yoti would be done.

It is stated that the prolongation of the stay of the French army of occupation in Syria will not take place without the acquiescence of the other European Powers, and without the approval of another Conference at Paris ; but all, We may venture to add, will depend on air cutristantes: 'the circular of At. de Persigny, to the Prench Pre fects of the Departments, is Very acceptable to the independent portion of the Paris press; and the Pcitrie is certain that it is not deceived in saying that the docu ment is " destined to produce a Considerable effect his circular is more than a plan of conduct for the functionaries to whom it is addressed—it is quite a pro gramme of home policy, which the entire country will welcome, with all the more satisfaction seeing that it so thoroughly corresponds with the views and liberal in tentions of the Emperor." Another protest from Francis 11., signed by his Foreign Minister, which emanated from Gaeta on the 12th of last month, has just been made public. Its chief. feature is the allusion to the tCnduct of the Emperor or the l'renoli, whO alone "gave the magna nimous example of a desire to withdraw from the uni versal apathy," for which he was reproached by England, whilst the other Cabinets stood by, and allowed him to ditplay his magnanimity single-handed. It is gratifying to observe that the writer of the despatch fully recognised so far back as its date, the necessity of the speedy fall of the King. Marshal O'Donnell has been fired at, and wounded, by an assassin. Sortie . Pairiftil Partientaii regarding the shocking mnider in a railway carriage, on Wednesday. night, of the President of the Imperial Court of France, will be found in our Paris letter. The French Funds are unusually high at present. The Moniteur de la .F7otte says that the general sys tem of the defence of the French coasts is to be com pleted by cutting down the old sailing ships and plating them. The coasts of Brittany and Normandy ate much exposed to the danger of a c.duj delnain, which, though not probable, is at least possible, owing to the speed of steatii§hips.

The vessel that picked up the crew of the burning ship Ndttingham Was the Islander, which reached Torbay on Wednesday. The loss will fall on Lloyd's, where vessel and cargo were insured. If the French Government should consent to subsidise a line of steamers between Galway and a French port, the vessels of the Angloz , Braiilian Steam Company, which is now being wound up, will probably be taken up for the Galway line. The Stibtilaririe Telegraph Conipany have made aiiingenients With the French Government for tele grams from India, China, and Australia, to be despatched from Marseilles immediately on the arrival of the steamers in that porti instead of first passing through the Post-offlce. After considerable delay and uncertainty as to the course which would be finally taken by the Sardinian goi;ein ment with regard to the disposal of the British. Legion, it is at length arranged that the disbandment is to take place. Orders were receiied on the 25th ultimo from Raples for the discharges to be made out iiitliotit further delay. Each man will receive six months' pay, including rations, and a free passage home.

The Sprints branch is a line from the to Hall Colliery. The driver of the Carlisle train seeing the signal at the junction indicating that he was to come on, did not slacken speed. When the coal train Caine iipbii the lint it *as ton late to avoid a collision, and the driver and stoker of the goods train both jumped off their engine. The driver, however, sustained a fracture of two fingers. The engine was turned round and upset ; so as to block up both tracks of the main lines The traffic on kith was stopped for about five hours. None of the men on the Coal train *ere injured, but several waggons in both trains were shattered to pieces. The commercial panic in America which has sprung ont . of Mr. Lincoln's election does not appear to have Originated iii piirely tomniercial causes. The charac teristic of the Pheildnitint in the thief towns of the United. States is - the suddenness - 4 Of their appearance. One day inoney is "plentiful." A particular party tritiniphs, a particular man is chosen, and money is st l / 4 reb. ProdtiCd abounds; the ddiriand for it is not Oiminished ; bat the machinery of biisitiess is hampered by a political panic, and forthwith in some places stops altogether. From various quarters we hear that " the banks are strong ; " neferthelessi the banks suspend specie payments, and . the banks 'Of New York are compelled to resort to co-operative measures to totintetact the effects of a sudden political ex citement, It is positively stated that nothing of a bomnierbial kind has OCeiirred to depreciate the value of securities. Yet securities fall in value. Thus, with what the New York newspapers call the balance of trade in their favour, with no large disturbing causes at trork in the Stock and Share Market springing out of the condition of stocks and shares, it seems reason able to refer the panic almost exclusively to political influences. The recent heavy imports of cotton into Liverpool have swelled the stocks to a considerable extent, and on reference to the late advices from America we learn that there are 2t ships bound from New Orleans to Liverpool with 91,090 bales of cotton on board; from Mobile there are 11 ships with 22,713 bales ; from Charleston there are 6 ships with 16,083 bales; from Savannah there are 8 ships with 13,832 bales; from Pkiladelphia one ship with 136 bales ; from Galveston 2 ships with 3,509 bales ; from New York there are 15 ships with 8,302 bales on board.

WHO would have imagined at any epoch of the five and forty years which have elapsed since the decisive struggle at Waterloo, until within the last five, that in England the well-known in junction, " teach the young idea how to shoot," would have met with so literal and so universal a compliance as it is receiving at this moment ? Who could have believed that the study and practice of the tir de precision at our universities, at all our great public schools, and at very many private ones, would have suddenly come to be treated as an almost indispensable branch of knowledge, and that a familiarity with drill, and a thorough initiation into the mysteries of the goose-step, and the other military move ments of which it is the foundation, would have come to be viewed as scarcely less necessary than any of the other departments of ordinary school work ? But so it is ; and we are not aware that any well-founded complaints have been made against the infusion of this new element into the general educational system of the country, or that any other than beneficial results can be said to have arisen from the mixture. On the contrary, mas ters, students, and pupils seem alike to sympathise with and Welcome the movement which has thus penetrated in so remarkable a inanner into all our academic institutions; and, with rare exceptions, there is no public man who alludes to the subject who does not enlarge upon the good effects which it is calculated to exert both on the minds and bodies of the young. Mens sand In corpore Ba2lo, bids fair now at length to find its realisation in all our principal seminaries of learning, and the instructors of our youth find, ready made to their hands, one of the most important auxiliaries to the moral training of their pupils which has heretofore been placed within their reach. A great many ideas are on their trial at the present time. To say nothing of Constitutional Government in England, there is the principle of "Nationality" in Italy, of " Imperial Constitu tionalism " in France, of "Imperial Autonomy " in Austria; of " Federal Union" in presence of one of the rudest shocks to which it has yet been subjected, in the United States, which are eack and all undergoing their separate trials at this juncture. But there is a domestic matter of no small moment, which is, and has been, also on its trial for some time past. We allude to the English Public School System. To many minds the latter may not have so many glittering attrac tions • as the others; but it is surely of scarcely less consequence to watch its progressi and !Mark its results, as bearing largely upon a foremost branch of the leading home subject of tile dat, Until lately, the question as to the merits of the public school system, viewed in connection with the education of the children of the upper classes of society, which is the aspect in which we are regarding the matter on this occasion, lay between Eton, Winchester, Harrow, Rugby, and one, or two other famous schools on the one hand, and the small provincial grammar schools, or home or semi-private tuition on the other. But' the comparison has been largely broken in upon —first, by the introduction of a vast swarm of intermediate establishments which have sprung up in different places, all conducted more or less on the public school system, but pos sessing statutes and institutions moulded out of less ancient elements ; secondly, by—though perhaps only as regards the upper department —numerous and more or less extensive institutions such as those of which Liverpool possesses Vt.() of the very highest rank and popularity ; and thirdly, by an infinite number of private establishments, which offer an endless variety of educational attractions, in conformity with the additional requirements of the age, and whose conductors, enjoying a perfect freedom from all control in the shape of constittitions or trustees, are enabled to bend their respective systems in any direction which may be mutually agreed on by themselves and the parents or guardians of the boys whose educational training is entrusted to them. To all these may also be added the rapid and enormous advances which late years have witnessed in the educational machinery of the classss which fall below those for whose wants the higher and more extensive schools of which we have been speaking are provided, and it will at once be seen to what an enormous amount of competition these latter arc exposed ; and what exertions are demanded of those by whom they are administered, in order to keep themselves ahead of that rapid, variable, and accelerated stream of progress which is pressing upon them, Happily in the present day it has come to pass that the aristocracy of rank, and in a great degree that of wealth also, is always measured by an intellectual standard. It has been accepted as an absolute necessity, if the English political machine is to iteep its true balance, that those whose social position places them anioiig the upper classes should take a corresponding rank in intellectual acquirements ; that those who are born to lead should have .the requisite capacity to discharge the duties of leaders, and also the moral force and superior weight of cha racter to deprive others of any just ground for refusing to recognise their tight td do 66. In short, that, as is pre-eminently the case With the able and talented heir to the noble House of STANLEY, every scion of England's nobility, who aspires to take a leading part in the councils of his cotintry, should be, if possible, as illustrious for his ti.acquirements as he is for his birth and hereditary distinction. Now, it has come to be inquired with no little earnestness and anxiety, will thoso places of education which are frecquented chiefly by the sons of the upper classes, be able to meet the emergency which has thus arisen ? Will our great public schools be able to hold their own, and to do their work triumphantly and success fully in the face of such an active and unceasing rivalry, or is there a danger of their losing their present superiority and celebrity, and thus, so far, it may be, dislocating the socio-political machine, just as it had got into such admirable working order. To this latter question we answer—Yes, pro vided the public school system be not liberalised and expanded;--No, if this process be judiciously, seasonably, and effectually carried out. We don't go into the question of moral superinten dance, checking extravagance, and such like; we assume, as a matter of course, that all ground for complaint on these heads, so far as it may not already have been removed, will be so forth with. If not, no purely abstract changes in the system of educational training, how ever radical and remorseless, will be of the slightest avail to save their pre-eminence. What is chiefly wanted is, as was so well pointed out by an eminent authority, when dealing recently with the case of Eton, an easier and freer working of the system, under which new books and new methods of teaching them, and new and enlarged fields of study can be introduced; and under which no acknowledged improvement in the administration of the school should be debarred admittance, the moment its utility or necessity is recognised. Objections under the head of " contrary to the will of the Pounder," are effectually disposed of by the dictum of the same learned judge we are alluding to when he laid it down that no legal barrier existed to making alterations in the foundation statutes ; and besides, as everyone knows, there is not one of the great schools we are speaking of whose rulers have not, at one time or other, considered it necessary to infringe upon its constitution, though, as it happens, somewhat awkwardly for many of the principal opponents of further changes, the alterations objected to are generally found to militate against the interests of the objectors. It is astonishing how much elasticity is attributed by this class of persons to those statutes, which have a contrary tendency. The day is, we hope, far distant when these great schools shall cease to discharge the im portant functions we have pointed out, and to discharge them well. Their admirers claim for them—and, we cannot help thinking, with jus tice—that they generate a fine scholarship, a ready wit, a manly independence, and a noble sense of brotherhood, which, despite their imper fections, are riot to be obtained in any other way. But the preservation of their present high posi tion and powers of usefulness will only be con tinued to them so long as their administrators are quick to detect, and prompt to remedy, every fault ; alert to appropriate and to communicate new knowledge, and new methods of teaching it, while, at the same time, they maintain inviolate in substance that long-tried system under which classics "reign supreme," which for centuries past has yielded such splendid fruits, and to which every one of our greatest men in modern times has paid unhesitating homage. The universality of the Volunteer system, which we have commented- : upon at the outset, was two short rears ago, as little dreamt of in the " philosophy of tlib pAreilta and guardians of English youth, as are . many of the very -Wildest Pill' jects started is connection with the enlargement and util isation of the benefits and advantages of the system of English public schools. That move ment is everywhere popular and approved of. Let the rulers of our great public schools in like manner throw themselves boldly on popular sup port, and the day will still be their own. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Dec. 7. A dreadful murder has been committed in a railway carriage, on. the person of one of the most eminent magistrates of the Court of Paris, which has caused eitraordinary excitement and consternation. At first there was an ittlpression that M. Poinsot, who is the President of the Imperial Court, was the victim of an assassin who had taken this means of satiating his revenge for some public or private wrong done to him ; but the actual circumstances were as follow :—On the arrival yesterday, at the station, of the train from Mullhouse, the lifeless body of the lamented gentleman was found in the com partment of one of the carriages. The deceased had, it is said, arrived from the Champagne districts, where he OAVIIS several valuable pro perties. He entered the train the previous evening at Troyes, and took his place in a first-class carriage, which was empty. An individual appears to have entered the the same compartment sometime afterwards, and got out at another station without his departure having given rise to the slightest suspicion. Such at least is the rumour which prevails, for until a judicial enquiry takes place no reliable details can be obtained respecting the facts which pre ceded, accompanied, or followed the crime. It is, however, generally believed that robbery was the sOle motive for its commission. It was on opening the couipartmerit gesterday morning at five o'clock, when the train arrived for the purpose of collecting the tickets of the passengers, that one of the company's servants of the Cliemin de fer de l'Est perceived the body of M. Poinsoit lying bathed in blood. No time was'lost in acquainting the family orthe deceased with the . lamentable event, as well as the judicial authorities. The Procureur-General and the Procureur-Imperial, and the Prefect of Police, as well as the heads of the municipal police and of safety, immediately proceeded to the Strasbourg station to commence the necessary investigation. It has sttbsequentlY been ascertained beyond doubt that the murdeted gentleman had been robbed, and his watch torn from his waistcoat pocket. It is supposed that the crime must have been committed before the arrival of the train at Noisy:le-Sec station.* A lady, who was in an adjoining compartment, states that she heard some cries before that station was passed. The body was lying on the jars containing the hot water with which the carriages are supplied ; and the reason the murder was not sooner discovered, was that the murderer had taken care to draw down the window blind, intended to exclude the light during the night. It is reported that, near to Noisy, the traces of footsteps have been discovered, indi cating that the murderer had leapt out at that station while the train was being slowed in order to receive the mail bags. Unfortunately, railway management in France, as it is in England, is still behind both Belgium and Germany. In both these countries a passen ger has the means of stopping the train at any minute ; and had such means of calling for aid been available to M. Poinsot, either his life would have been saved, or at all events the murderer would have been caught red-handed. The news from Gaeta is to the 3rd December, at which date there was "nothing new." On the afternoon of the 2nd the besiegers sent some shells into the town, but they alighted upon places where no damage was done ; and the firing ceased, in order that its direction might be rectified. The greater part of the Piedmontese army is at present in the Neapolitan provinces, where it has plenty of work before it. Independent of Naples itself, and other towns where there are garrisons, there are three powerful corps—one of which i 5 employed in the investment of the fortress of Gaeta ; another is operating in the Abruzzi, where the state of things is still serious ; and the third occupies Calabria, where its movements are pro ducing some little excitement. Matters seem likely to remain in their present situation until the spring. There was little doing at the Bourse yesterday, but much firmness continued to be exhibited. Itentes closed at 70f. 60c. LECTURE Mc THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT.--LaS t night, Mr. R. Trimble, commission merchant, of this town, gave, at the Hope-street Church schools, a lecture on the Volunteer Movement. The chair was oetneie d by Mr. Councillor Estill. Mr. Trimble has evident:! a very qualified opinion of the volunteer movement, which was described as a product of the panic or fear of invasion raised two years ago,—an alarm, he said, raised from various motives, and propagated by various agencies —" which had been fomented by ignorance, and found strength and support from national jealousy." The alarm, however, had become so general, had taken so unusual a channel, that those who raised the alarm nolt stood aghast at its consequences. Volunteering had many open, but a greater number of secret enemies. It had, however, its legitimate influence, and it was well that they should guard it from some of the evils to which it was exposed. These he enumerated in detail. One was the fostering of a war spirit. But the move ment should encourage trust in ourselves ; it should not encourage distrust of our neighbours. The charge of Mr. Robertson Gladstone, that the movement had with drawn the attention of young men from the counter and the desk, was, he said, not without justification in the facts of the case. Business was too often neglected for this new excitement, and also mental pur suits. Again, the volunteer movement might lead to false security, the process of laudation had been carried to such extent. To make efficient artillerymen required three years' constant training. When the troops of the King of Naples began to fight, the service of their regularly-trained artillery against the artillery of Gari baldi's men was painfully apparent. It seemed to him, then, that the prominence given to a volunteer artillery force was a grand mistake, and that if relied upon as artillery for the defence of the country, it would break down in the day of trial. He counselled that, before too late, the whole of the artillery corps should be formed into troops of the line. He asked, after eighteen months' enrolment, was there a corps which had been trained to the use of field guns ? Many of them had not yet seen a gun. There was another force which it was very diffi cult to train. It was proved by the Crimean war that we are deficient in cavalry, and he contended that instead having of mounted volunteers, who could only mas querade in a procession or ride down an armed mob, the artillery and cavalry force requisite should be provided by the Government. As infantry, the volunteers would be of the utmost service, and to make them marks men practice only was required. Let the Ration and the government remember, however, that too much depen dence upon an untried force, leading to false security, would be one of the greatest misfortunes. He argued, from a reference to the history of the Irish Volunteers in the last century, that there was a danger of the volunteer movement becoming subservient to party- Another evil was, that it might increase the antagonism between class and class. The lecturer then spoke of the deception practised in the formation of many corps ,by e misrepresentations as to the cost of joining : one n mentioned in which the cost was advertised at t w o guineas, but one article after another had been orde red, till the amount had reached £9 3s. Mr. Trimble next dwelt, but at less length, upon the advantages of movement. Drill he pronounced to be a invigorating exercise. It also induced sobriety,heoaithy and order, and respectful conduct. To be armed, inspired e o o v ng e ofid e eence; and n rnmt ou e g n ts ht . also deference in our dealings with forei gn It was a guarantee for peace, and the m ovemen t S to lead to a more economical national. urged that the volunteer movement shouldexpend iture. be made Ie general, popular, and permanent • It would thus be fromall partial removed from all class influences, interests, from all sectional jealousies.. Let them . not , make this pursuit the b . %in g e , ss iet bu i t t t b n e e rseeecerenadtaioryn to life. As a physical train mental discipline; and, in concluding, the lecturer exhorted all men of mi defenders to embrace under every every opportunity civilisingand of bringing our unpaid refining influence. lie sat down amid loud applause. .tEWELLERY, PLAIT lac., W.
