LIVERPOOL, Wednesday Evening- In our Cotton Marker to-day a very good and general demand prevailed.

In the English Stock Market, rather mole con fidence prevailed to-day, and although no quota ble advance in prices took place, the tone of busi ness was not so unsatisfactory. COnsols opened with firmness, and have been well supported throughout the morning, the latest quotations being 951 to 96 for money and the account. The G6vernment Broker effected a further purchase of £15,000 Reduced Three per Cents., which have been dealt in at 941, a ; Bank Stock, at 226 and 225 ; India Debentures, 961, ; Ditto Bonds, 4s. and I.s. p m . ; and Exchequer Bills, 295., 275., 285., and 31s. pm. The }lnglis' 1 3 , Railway Market, though quiet; presented a better appearance with regard to prices, which, in some instances, have partially recovered their tone; Caledonian, London and North-Western, Berwicks, and Yorks are each about I per cent. higher. In the Market for Foreign Securities very little business was done, and in one or two of the lead ing stocks some heaviness prevailed. Spanish have again fallen from Ito 2 per cent. Original Turkish Sixes are t--; per cent. lower, but the New Turkish Sixes, with Brazilian and Mexicans, are supported. New Victoiia Loan is quoted 1091, and the New Indian at 1031-, y. For French Rentes the quotation at ten minutes past twelve was 69f. 33c., thence to 69f. 40c., and again to 69f. 45e., with a firm market. TUE PUNDS.-CLOSING PRICES Con.

THE DAY'S NEWS. The idea would seem to, be becoming prey alent in the political circles of the metropolis, that Spain, in going to war with Morocco, is but the instrument of France.. The Daily News main tains that " a collusive understanding exists be- , tween them," ad4ing that "the_. consequence of this is that the British Government, whose Medi terranean interests are involved in any territorial aggran di s ement along the Straits of Gibraltar, finds itself in the alternative of either calmly watching the progress of the Spanish army, or forcibly intervening between the belligerents, now that its representations have been set at de fiance." Such a forcible intervention, hoWever, would be tantamount to engaging in the war, a step which would certainly be, on every account, to be deprecated. _ There is an uneasy feeling, it appears, in the London Money Market, owing to the disquiet on the Spanish and Continental questions. The funds have been declining for the last two or three do:ys. There is an apprehension, in fact, that it will be very difficult to avoid a rupture with France. Serious misunderstandings are evidently arising, and Lord Palmerston, , it is but 'too well known, is not so pacifically disposed as to err on the side of peace—if he errs at all, which is more than probable. We gave a summary of the Board of Trade imports, for September, in our impression of yesterday. They are referred to, we observe, by the London Press, as offering a complete refuta tion of the idea, so prevalent of late, that business wasgdull. It is quite true that there is no specu lative excitement in trade just now, but that it is progressive and profitable, we believe there can be little doubt. Notwithstanding our troubles with the Chinese, we continue to receive ample supplies of tea. Another cargo of new congous -has just arrived, to the amount of 138,000 lbs,—samples of which, it is said, are to be in the market to-day. Austria has, it appears, declared that the accession or non-accession of England to the Con gress can . make no difference in relation to dis ciissions which have no' connection with English interests. Complications with respect to the Spanish war against Morocco, appear to be becoming imminent and threatening. The Emperor of the. French, it is said in a telegram just received, has declared his determination to render assistance to Spain: in her war with Morocco, in the same manner as he did in the. case of Piedmont. it is also somewhat singular to notice that a Spanish journal states, in a Sort of semi-official farm, that the':- ministers of most of the European Powers; including Great Britain, declare ,their opinion that the war is a just one. The late tutexpected storm; of hail r stiow, and thunder, which seemed so little in unison with the atinospheric influences which . generally pre dominate in this country, has been succeeded by a tempest of 'wind , and rain of unusual 'severity. In LiVerpool, the gale was exceedingly violent, from a) . little before daybreak till considerably past noon: The fatty steamers plying between the Lancashire and Cheshire shores -were for. a considerifile time unatlile ton make theirteustoraary trips. Ira - the river and , docks, some damage was occasioned' to 'the shipping ;- .but . fortunately no thing of sera us Moment' occurred. In the town, :slates and claimh4-pots- were blown from the house-tops, and . several shop signs were thrown down. By telegraphic dbspatches received; it appears that the storm has extended neaa-ly all over the island; and numerous disasters, some of them. of a fatal nature, have occurred out different parts of the coast.. Whatever mays be the miSuitderstandings;s.and how' complicated,' soever may - apparently be -the relations between•this countrr - and the ruperor of Prance, it would appear that he• has .nothy any means abandoned the idea of still joining our forces in an expedition to China,. for the pur pose ofiEprinoigit4c- Chinese to a sense of thoh perfidSt- and, IN whatever direction, we- turn our eyes at Cie presentntoment, the -political horizon looks; dark , and louring. Fresh earnplicationg are risit tg'up , in Continental Europe. A newt difficulty • has occurred; in the declaration of war-madeby against the Emperor . o Korocco,,in;whieh w e are likely to• be . .implicabeei r if, Spain. insists • - upon "a matariai guarantee;' — that is, plantin g a colony ihnnediately adjoining the town and fortress-of Ceuta;—an'occupationzwhich Engl and never car-ipertnit to. take plaen, assbeing ani in terference-with her power at Gibraltar.. Rumours, too; are-flOating abOitt. ;on the 13iiirrses in Parris, that the GoVernments of'FranceundEngland are not on terms of. the .warmest cordiality, conse quent upon our refitSiit to loin any Cougreep on the complications of Cer.utralltaly:;.not-witlistand ing the vary - earnest protestations, ot amity an& goodwill so boastfully' paraded_ by Lord rALMEIt- STON 121 a Lord J0ni1,,14 - 55E4.1.).. If we- turn away from tht-revisiOn of' - European polities,. and con,- template our ProspetiiS in the East,, things are not very bright or cheering there.. The revolt in. India,bas., not ,yet been - perfeetly put down ; it starts into life and action here andthere through out Central India„ and , will require. another cam paign:before it can,Tbe completely extinguished }-- and. this,. too, when _there• is an additional call upon our troops for:service iil,, China. With all these dangers.marked out on the poli tical chart, as we spread it.before the mind's.eye, we , must naturally-look with: anxiety to the„Cha meter and capacity of the crew which man the State vessel, and see what sort of pilot we have at the helni, to steer her through a storm.-which is manifestly gathering, all around. We,. should desire to sae them a, united band, guided by a steady andunfaltering l hand. Do we•findleither the one desideratum, or the other inAlte 'Resent Administration ? Can the antecedents, et the Ministers which form it, inspire us with any hope ; or are w justifie' in , placing - any reliance upon their oompeteney to carry us safely. through the present very critical juncture of, affairs at home and abroad? , We can place• no dependance whatever. upon their ability or: power to de so. They. are defi,eient in the chief element of strength . —unanimity among , themselves; and without this they can effect nothing at home, and can, command no respect ov consideration. from, Foreign Powers. Discord has already appeared: among them. How ; could it be - othemise Composed as the present Government is, of per sons of such opposite views, banded together for the factious party-purpose of supplanting Lord DERBY'S Administration, which in an eminent degree possessed every qualification , necessary to cope with the urgent circumstances and intricate complexities of the present moment,—it were in vain to expect any real union and concord. It is encouraging, however, to see that the country is quickly discovering the deception which has been passed upon it, as the corrupt and disgraceful means are disclosed and laid open, by which the majority of thirteen was obtained on Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S unprincipled resolution. NAPOLEON THE GREAT is reported to have said, that a Whig Government would grind into powder any - kingdom, even if it were made of adamant. How long the glorious Constitation of England will be able to resist the t crashing process to which it is at present subject, ,we cannot say; but certainly the sooner it were , relieved from such a destroying pressure the better. We cannot think that the country will permit • a very • much longer tenure of office by a Ministry so much below the exigencies of the present most important crisis .We have an Indian difficulty . partially over come ; we have now a China difficulty, and have scarcely yet fairly escaped an American one, in which we should have been involved, had it not been for the good sense and forbearance of Governor DOUGLAS. In the Peiho disaster, we lost much of our prestige, to recover which fifteen thousand troops are to be sent frorn India ; and we ask, to do what ? To send out such a force against three hundred millions of Chinese, is worse than doing nothing. In fact, the difficulty with John Chinaman has, in our opinion, been under-estimated. The seeds of it were originally sown by SirJoHN BowalNG's rash and hasty poli cy. And now, because the present Premier will not oblige his cher anti, the Freneh EMPEROR, by drain ing this country of the already scanty provision of soldiers which is in it, he will not unite with us in any expedition to China. We may probably reach Pekin with so small a force ; but we shall producer no• perinanent result. And as to the sub jugation of the country, self-confident as we know Lord Job' RUSSELT; to' be in his own powers, we should hardly think that such an absurd idea can have entered even his head*; although he is pre pared; at a moment's notice, to undertake . any task, without being at all discomfited by the cer tainty' of failure. • Altogether,. our political Christmas prospects do not, it must be, confessed, look very merry, ' especially - . under the• auspices of an Administra ' tion . Which has no element of stability or perma nency about it, and therefore has no weight ; .and • commands no respect r in the. Cabinetsnf Earope;- - a conglomerate, as it is,-of every shade - and de gree‘ of so : .ealled Liberia., opinion, from Whig family traditions to the-lowest Radicalism. No dioubt,,when the country calls. upon Lord•DERBY again to take the helm,—of which We - can plainly SOC every probability, amounting to moral cer tainty, at no distant day,—.we-have little doubt he - will be prepared to do so• at , the right moment, and in the right spirit. When the .country has • had, usque ad nauseam, the bungling of this Motley Administration, the Conservatives will again,.be required to take office, which they will do, as a-strong, compact, and united body—strong in their ability,. their principles, and their integ rity of purpose, andprepareditherefore, to inspire a feeling_ of confidence and.. security at home, arid to command the utmost respect and consider ation abroad. IT is more than gratifying to Churchmen ,to sec.! the parochial movement in defence of Church- , rato, and= for, the propagation, of solid informer-• tion on the subject, so strenuously followed up, amtingst us: There is. nothing the noisy and superficial agi- 7 tator so much 'dislikes and fearS„ as to be met with" a little more knowledge, than his own, a. little more . acquaintance with. historical facts, a little more accurate discernment of the relations, between mete and taunt.

The party, that has challenged their political adherence has. inscribed on its bannerS, opposition to some ancient right or custom;. and the Church having' raised but a feeble note. : in defence of her privi-, leges, Churchmen, wavering between political affeetions and a sleeping attachment to their, hereditary faith, ltalze• seen no occasion for inter-. rupting the course of their allegiance. Was it any thing but a political. necessity that induced Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S pitiable religions, inconsistency last Session ? Amid all the compromises and adap tive schemes, proposed as a substitute for Church rates, even by Dissenters, whatnew necessity had arisen to call for Lord JOHN'S sudden adherence to the extreme and lawless spoliation of their most indecent and. unscrupulous assailants ? Whether Lord. JOHN has done wisely, even on the lowest personal grounds, in thus achieving the final ruin of his reputation among . Churelimen, may very well be doubted. One thing we are sure of,—that a VigorOus and continued effort to call out, and give due and moderate expression to the Church feeling which is still strong through out the country, will• convince trimmers of thi s unconstitutional stamp, not only that their sup- OCI.OBER 27, 1859 art can be dispensed with, but that the - cause 7 have so faithlessly deserted is strong enough . ; inflict punishment for the crime. We were glad to find our highly-respect ed 4:*shop, of undoubted Whig antecedents and pre _dices, speaking with such confidence of the abstract right in the matter of Church-rates. Yet it is an evidence of previous apathl among Churchmen, that even he looks forward to the necessity of a conapromise.• Now, we are quite willing to admit that the altered condition of the natim,—the religious Pre judices and peculiarities- which are everywhere crossing the path of justice and reason, and Pre cedent,—the scruples of conscience, which 110 information can be far-reaching enough to root out of all the corners and bye-ways where the,' hide and enshrine themselves, render advisable some change in the old and natural channels through which Church privileges have tained their relations to the people. But th is change, this compromise, should take for its bass the full recognition of the inherent rights of th e ClArch,—the rights of inalienable . propert c Commutation we are prepared for ; but not 4 commutation which is robbery. Though a cote` promise, is, perhaps, all that we can ex pect, le t not Churchmen relax in their efforts to spre ad that reliable information on the subject of Chilre li property`, which is the bCSt ground of confidCue e ' . and will be the strongest weapon of, defenc e against those ultimate objects of wicked al ltV dishonest men, which even now they haVe be en brought to avow as the secret impulse of th eir present modiffed opposition.

NOTES OF THE DAY,- The- interview ; between the Emperor of Ithasia and the Prince Regent of Prussia having now taken Ph' ce ; all is anxiety to know something about it,—its political objects and results. That it has had a specific cad in view, crat scarcely be doubted ; and that it has had references to the present critical state o f E ur ope, can as little matter of doubt. Both th ese Powers n ' us " have beenAlooking with anxiens apprehension, for son * time past; on the proceedings of Austria and Fiance , ' more especially the latter Power, directed as it is' by one whose mind is so inscrutable; and whose movements are so eccentric: as Louis Napoleon's. There can be no question, one would think, that if the riders- of Russia- and Prussia- have, on this occaionr determined' upon any policy whatever, it would he s. Conservative. one 'sueh a policy as. England herself mat safely combine with them topursue,—on the under standing, of 'course, that there is to be no obstruction:to that course of Reform which cannot .now be resisted in any quarter-of the civilised wortd,. and w hich it is t he ' truest wisdom to direct, not to obstruct, according t‘ ) the circumstances of the people among whom it may bo--in eperation.
