A significant intimation, is given in certain of the Continental journals, supposed to be in the confi dence of the Powers referred to, that Prussia and Itu ssia have communicated to their envoys at foreign - courts theimportant fact of the recent interview at Breslau, between the Prussian Prince Regent and the Russian Emperor, having shown that there was a complete coincidence of their views on all the questions of moment relating to the political state of Europe. We give an extract from an Australian news paper, of respectability and reputation, illus trating, very forcibly, the practical evils of the ballot and universal suffrage, in the colony of Victoria. It is already •found, that under the operation of the ballot, and with' universal suffrage, "the. general result of the elections will be to give increased power to the extreme demo cratic party in Parliament,"—a result which is highly to be. deprecated,' as 'calculated to dis organise the colony, and greatly hamper its interests. " A great many candidates,' it is observed, " are in nomination,. though it is still feared and complained that few out of .that class, best fitted to represent the intelligence and respectability of the people have come forward to claim the popular suffrages. The fact is, that " intelligence and respectability" are so completely swamped by the mobocracy that any one presenting qualities so eswatial in any desirable state of society, is deterred by the prospect of . certain defeat, accom panied, not improbably, by insult and outrage. The Wakefield Election Cominission, after two days' further sitting upon the spot, has again ad journed. The witnesses who have been examined on this occasion have - not thrown much more 'light upon the case. One object of the. Commis sion, in the examination which liaskist - concluded, has apparently been to connect the Conservative candidate, Mr. Charlesworth, and his friends, as closely as possible with the bribery and corrup tion that so extensively prevailed at the l as t Wakefield election. There is no doubt whatever that the Conservatives, as well as the Liberals, were deeply implicated in those corrupt. proceed 7 ings ; but the excuse Of the Conservatives is that they were obliged to fight their Liberal opponents with their own weapons. - Certainly, the whole of the proceedings shows very forcibly, that those classes of the people among whom it is proposed to extend the franchise, , constitute almost the only portions of the constituency that were open to cor rupt influences. The adjournment has been deemed necessary, in consequence of one of the Commis sioners (Mr. Willes) having just received the appointment to a county-court judgeship in Nor thumberland, and his presence being required there immediately. The inquiry is to be re-opened in London on Monday. Very few witnesses re main to be examined ; and it is not expected that it will be necessary to return to 'Wakefield. It appears that the number . of ROyal Naval Volunteers that it is proposed to raise, under the Act of Parliament which we referred to yester day, is thirty thousand ; and the success of the scheme is regarded with considerable confidence. From this body, too, it is expected that there will be a continuous reserve for the navy. So that, altogether, it is a most important and judicious enterprise. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, it will be seen, has been holding forth at Cork on the advantages of that harbour as a station for the American packets. " lie felt donfident,"=hb said, " that it was an enterprise *which .had for its aim to augment the resources, and promOte the inter course, and 'prolong the friendship of the great ' family of man, that nations may find their richest reward." This is all very fine upon paper—or in an afterjdinner speech—but that it is sub stantially true remains to be proved. The invest;gatioll in regard _to the eircum stances attending the loss of the Royal Charter, instituted and conducted under the auspices al the Board of Trade, commenced yesterday, it St. George's Hall. The inquiry, which promises to be , a very searching one,. is conducted by Mr. O'Dowd, assisted by Mr. Tyndale, of this town, and the, proceedings of yesterday, which were, protracted, although only a few witnesses ware exitmined, may be said to have done little more than merely enter upon the threshold of the inquiry. In his opening address, Mr.. O'Dowd intimated that the size, the structure, and the quality of the materials used in the construction of the ship would form important features in the pending inquiry. He also intimated that, while fully editing • the testimony given as to the perfect sobriety of Captain Taylor, he felt that the circumstances of thecase demanded a full and impattial inquiry into his conduct with respect to the navigation of the vessel. He intimated that full evidence had been tendered by Messrs. Gibbs, .Bright, and .Co. as to the quality of the machinery, the Conipbsition of the ship, and her general sea-worthiness. . The proceedings will be resumed this morning, and. so far as yester day's progress can be taken as a criterion, the inquiry promises to be a protracted as well as a searching one. • The, ambition which seeks an opportunity of vindicating in the Municipal Council those views of general management and economy in the affairs of the borough, entertained by an individual, appears not by any means to have been quenched. in Mr. 0. , P: Carne, by his factiously; effected'de feat in the Everton and Kirkdale Ward. So far from this being the case we rejoice to see that he_ comes - ifoi4ard again, and manfully to 'uphold those principles ,which he sincerely believes to be the only true ones on which the general benefit can be rested and . secured. The elevation of Mr: Woodruff to the *aldermanie chair havin - g caused a vacancy in the representation of Scot land Ward, Mr:' Came has valorously came for ward to the rescue, and afforded .to the electors an opportunity of sustaining that character for sound.. constitutional feeling which placed Mr. Crellin at the head of the poll, and which finds additional countenance, as well as support and gratification in being represented on the alder manic bench by' so ,independent and high ininded a gentleman as Mr. Bennett. As will be seen in another part of our paper, Mr. Carne last night addressed a large and influential meeting of the electors of the Ward, and *Om them met with a most cordial and assuring reception. His address, which em braced nearly all the leading topics of municipal discussion, was such as to meet with warm appro bation. In point of fact, Mr. Caine, by his clear business-like statements, has evidently won his way into popular favour; and we doubt not that the result of Friday's poll will show that if his merits had been earlier known they would have been sooner made available for the public benefit. AFTER long advancement in Christian civilisa tion, it would still appear, from events happening around us, and especially from the supposed aspect of a neighbouring country, that nations have some need of a seer who shall instruct them in one or two of its most characteristic prin ciples. We make no doubt, that as has been the case in many other subjects, the atmosphere in which this one has been infused, drawn from classical idea and the precedents of ancient history, has perverted the coarse of modern thought, and given rise to what in the altered conditions of the human mind is a false and unnatural instinct. There must be some mark of difference between the ideals of classical and Christian civi lisation. And it is as obvious to say that if there be Such a difference at all, it must be a difference occasioning a variety, perhaps a contrariety, of tone in the later growth of human advancement. Man we know .is still man.; and perhaps, out wardly at all events, there is more alike than different, in the heathen and the Christian specimens of the genus. They are ruled on the whole by much the same set of motives, stained by much the same sort of moral defects, and animated in their public condiict by much the same interests and associations. The dif ference between the two, we apprehend, mainly consists in the 'presence 'of a certain controlling power in the later form of national life, and of a moral sentiment which unconsciously tends to pro pagate a. superior sort of public conscience. The public conscience of ancient States was honour; that of Christian States is—or at least is, in its true ideal—religion. Now it becomes a question which we have some right to ask, whether France, at this stage of the world's history, is prepared, or is prepar ing, to teach Christian nations some entirely new lessons in the ideal of moral progress ? We sup pose we have been advancing in this knowledge, as in many other accessories of civilisation. The Christian nations of Europe have sent together their high diplomatic messengers to confer on international interests ; they have assembled their solemn and deliberative conclaves ; they have come mutually to their conclusions, on the bases of international understanding and com munication ; and they have always acknowledged, though perhaps tacitly, the supremacy of a public conscience. Amid, therefore, this buzz of war, and this reported development of the demoniac prin ciple among all classes of her people, it occurs to us' to ask whether France really feels herself charged with the birth of a new moral era among nations ; and whether these are the signs of inner troubling till she have brought forth ? Now the total abeyance of the-war spirit, is not what we expect to mark the present dispensation of GoD's provi dence. Such an expectation is the dream of visionaries ; while taken as a doctrine, it is the mistake of students and philosophers. Nothing can be plainer than that while the world remains as it is, right must often arm itself with might. The alliance between the two is natural, and has the highest sanction that precedent can secure ; for its great example is that Divine Government which is not a more perfect exposition of power than it is of justice. Wars, then, of interest, even when that interest is imaginary; wars into which av t el b e y still which ' nations are precipitated by unforeseenhocjucsutii.cr storm eenacne the, humanity indeed would have s and by a gradual process ; wars by the evil passions of men , il h l ur passions n momentarily aroused and faking perhaps involuntary , actors,—such wars as these we must count upon as fre q uent accidents in the life of nations. Ag ain, histor y su pp lies u s with many examp les ) which will again and again be NOVEMP;ER 16, 1859 illustrated the ,world's progress, of material contests. following upon the encounter of civilise'tion, and non-civilisation. And however unjul t.ifiable may be the particular pretexts upon which these contests are at the time provoked , nothing seems plainer than that they are in" evitable pioneers in the march of morals and religion. But, if we wished to fig _ 01% an`-" thing as especially alien from the spirit of modern civilisation, and essentially subversive of the great Christian idea, we should characteris e it as war .from a wanton spirit of revenge, from mere rivalry of prowess, from an insane worshiP of fanciful reputation. Wars of avarice and encroachment, wars of religion or bigotry, are violations doubtless of Christianity. But a wa r of this sort, for no substantial object, not t° maintain or propagate any real principle, not t° acquire any certain and appreciable advantage', but for the mere exaltation of self, for t he mere infliction of useless misery and huinilia tion, is the degradation of every redeeming feature in the moral aspect of mankind, the fib s°- , lute negation of public conscience, the lett iu l loose of the Devil in person among th e nations ° -Christianity. A war of wanton passions, e°°2- pared with a war of interested violence, is in le the same as a personal outrage subsidiarS t o 511 e act of pinnder, compared with a mere o utran far 'wickedness' sake: All men agree that in the most naked manifestation of revenge they see the" very, spirit of Satan ; a sublimation of spirit ual evil unrelieved by considerations more gerin N : to humanity, even in its weak ness . ow it the same in nations as in individuals ; and I ce must confess, that the full manifestation of spirit in Christian France is to us an elnin °°3 prelude to that temporary reign of Incarnate Evil, which prophetic authorities bid t° expect, What remains for England, however, is, tu° take care that'she have no "p ar t or l o t in matter. With this satanic spirit we call h 3ce nothing to do, except, if it assail us, to resist and chastise it. The undying confidence, under F r° i vidence, which Englishmen feel in their phy o and moral prowess, needs little encouragol cilt. But never could it be so justifiably felt as in tle defence of their country, and the chastisement °f an impious and barbarous marauder. THE trial of the American negro-captain, BRoo' for his participation in the rebellious outbreak. at Harper's Ferry, has been characterised Tel strikingly by all that bad feeling which is eater tained in the Southern States towards the nee population. Usually, in that country, even is the most serious criminal cases, the law is not 3P-. to move with much expedition. As one of the : own journals well observes r =" In most cas es ti' a " public complain of unreasonable delay, i n by " of indecent haste ; most offenders coacr e a.

Neither private suitors nor pub of " justice, as a general thing, find the courFr. " judicial proceedings so rapid as, at any rate ; "anticipate their wishes." In this case, 11° , 0 ever, there has been a most singular excep tion t o the customary deliberation with which °,t Atherican courts act,—the more singular, since ; is the case of a man tried for his life on t ile gravest charges known to the law—for muil lef l ' i t servile insurrection, and nw c r r e te a ha s oi o bu n it 7 ; t and shheo r i t t o s e erc,i 1 0 1 ( a l of il se been timecocli disposed conviction fortsie odn°feffectedi n American an law proceedings , : 5 t difficulty or. demur,—a result, we repeat' the c o l s unusualUnitedStates.in deed n on the this crhni ac n co a u l n 7%0 3 ' 1 1 5 : 0 : only on this, that we regard it as s ' ll 'trest r For, most assuredly, it is not singular t° s cith the negro population in the Slave State9e and any such consid era ti on , even i n c ases 0-f lif tioo death, as to call for greater leisure and ate; b Stoll than they have thought it worth while to -e of upon this most wretched and most fatal ssec negro insurrection. 0 eek The character of those hasty criminal P r c ii nt ings is very forcibly set forth, in an aee e- ffo ta read of it in one of the American journals; th e which it appears that he was captured °n vo 18th of the month, and on the 29th he w as liox itig; into court at Charlestown without his R eal been able to provide himelf with anY h ad assistance.

The following appeared r - f paq of our impression of yesterday 1) • j - THE MONEY MARKET. Great gloom prevailed to-day on the' Stock Exchange. :Alarmist statements were circulated respecting the Suei Cane and the San Juan affair. There were several bona .fide sales, and a fall of fully ti per cent. took- place, though there was a partial recovery, and the decline at the close did not exceed '- § l : . per cent. The demand for money active in the open market, and to a fair extent, at the :Bank. Few bills are taken .now at 21 per cent. There were no transactions in bullion.—Daily News. • The English funds opened this morning with increased heaviness, and., in consequence of specula tive sales, soon experienced a further fall, from which the recovery was only partial. The steps taken by the French Government, apparently with - the--view to show that England refuses to assist-in the re-subjugation of the people of Cen tral Italy and the Suez Canal question will be used to create, embitterments and difficulties elsewhere, constituted the main cause of the tendency to disquietude. The demand for dis count has again been good; and at the Bank the applications-exceeded the average. The railway_ market has been heavy. Operators for the rise . are discouraged by the appearance of foreign politics, and prefer to close their accounts at once instead of carrying them on. In nearly all the: principal British stocks a reduction of t to 3 per cent. has taken place.—Times. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—Noy. 15. There has been a very quiet market for Cotten to-day, with here and there a slight :giving way in price.

We have had a good attendance of millers and dealers at our market this morning, but holders of Wheat firmly demanding a further advance checks the sale, and the business is only moderate in consequence ; in the trans actions effected, however, an improvement is realised of about 3d. per cental on he prices of this day week, but this applies more to the finer than to the secondary and inferior qualities.

Its principles arc those so forcibly expressed by the Earl of Derby, at the recent Liverpool Banquet, when he said, -- 4 ` it speak of that Conservatism which Is not obstructive, but which is the best promoter of safe and gradual social improVe mest,—of that .Conservatism ;which, sirenaously adhering to the old madhinery of the Constitution; adapts from time to time the various parts of its mechanism to the real requirements and the real capacities of the age in which we live,—of that Con servatism which should give to all orders and degrees of men within this reahnitheir duetweight, authority, as 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 blusterine 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 ilfliet upon the classes it is sought to benefit." Such is the Conservatism of which the Northern Times is now the faithful and unflinching advocate : and never, perhaps, was tbere 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 Libera l that the Whig and Radical, interest. The Conservative canse has now got its representative, and its advocate, in the local Daily : Press. It rests with the Conservative party of Liverpool to decide with what efficiency this their Daily organ of the Press shall be maintained. Its success has so far been considerable,-- the circulation alfeady secured is large - and increasing; it is about three times more than it was when it came into its pre sent hands,---andrif all who are Conservatives will 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 Liverp , ool 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 acknow ledged, and ought therefore to be acted upon.
