George Holt and Co. in their weekly circular say : —The' COtton market at present is altogether under the influence of the advices ; received from America, and as these continue most favourable for a large supply of Cotton, both immediately and prospectively, the tendency here is to h lONfer scale pf. prices. The arrivals during, the week, are on a liberal scale, and ''s.4 there is still mach Cotton cloSe at hand; which is, 'sure to be placed upon the market as soon ad landed; par tiQ to realise what is in stock before the quantity to compete with is much increased. The &Cline in American Cotton generally amounts to a full td. per lb., the exception being in " fair' Uph ;ds. thick,. ~planua, wl. „:are scarce,., and not to be pur chased at v tke 4 . lo.!i;ri!*a qUotatifin t The " fair'? qualitips of Mobile and Orietns 'are More plen tiful ; but as this quality is not likely to arrive in quantity, Parties are reer e`Aisposed to lig(' it than the middle and Common now quote middling Uplands 6y d. ; Moi;&, 4 . 13-16 d. ; and Orleans, 61d.

The funds•opened steadily this morning, ; " but all de- Reriptions of securities were ultimately hchvy t partly, on the 'r'ece,ipy3 of ldwer prices from Paris and Vienna, and partly, it is believed, from a continuan ce , ot ttuvrealim. tions usual at the ens .of every year. , The demand for discount continues rather active, and at Bank the applications were above the average.

What we called the Great Imperial Pamphlet on the, Popedom, to which we alluded in this - apartment of our columns yesterday, is naturally thel subject of eager comment with the, London press`,'and to some extent with the press of Paris also. In the latter capital, however, since there is no liberty of the ,pre4s, there is no freedom in the remarks that are passed upon the pamphlet. The •Constitutionner has an article,signed by its principal editor, approving in general terms of the `b - rochzire, thobigh intimating, at the 'same time, an intention to controvert some of its propositions. All the London daily papers express a more or less qualified approval of it, and and it appears to be pretty generally believed that the restriction of the temporal sovereignty of the Pope, to the city of Rome would imme diately be realised, if the will of the French Emperor alone could decide the qiiestioi,—but, as ,it is well observed by, Lord Palmerston's organ, the Morning Post, "The interests of the Papacy arc so' 'closely interwoven with those of the whole Catholic world, that even the resolu, tuns of the sovereign, by the presence of whose troops it is only possible for the Pontiff to dwell in his own caPital, cannot be regarded as claiming a definite and'final character in the settlement of a question in which.all Christendom possesses an equal right to be heard." The pamphlet, how ever, is to be regarded as a manifesto of the French Government, and as such it is certainly indicative of a great fact—the fact, namely, - of the Emperor having resolved to pursue an English •rather than an Austrian policy as respecta the question of the Popedom. Several- eirmunstances are combining just now to give a stimulus, though it is to be feared it will be only a temporary one, to the. Shipping Interest. The amount of shipping that has recently 'been taken up for Military Purposes, by ,our own, the French, and the Spanish Governments, would of itself have been sufficient to create some animation in that interest ; but, as well as this, it is stated that goods are coming forward freely. for shipment to Australia, Calcutta, and Madras, and that engagements are being made at improved rates, and a steady business doing' in other res pects... Yet, whether even with such improve ment, the business will be reallyprofitable to the British shipowner, in the present position of our shipping, map perhaps admit' of quesifon. The . Paris papers: appear to have been consi derably agitated by the violent attacks made against the project of the Suez Canal, which have appeared this week in Lord Palmerston's morning organ.. In connection with suchia; subject as this it is unfortunate 'that: the First Minister of the Crown 'should • have such an 'organ for such attacks. The Paris journals . complain of their extreme ;injustice{ and gross , misrepresentation. The Debeted says, that "the violence of language and haughty provocative time will be judged of as ther merit, not only -in France, and on the whele.Continentrbut in England itself." It is well that England is included, because-it shows that we are mOt held,re.sponAtie as a t hati3Oli tof offence wlifptinaY thug have been given to the French. The ,Paris Papers, one and all;' persist in denying thatthere is any just ground, on the part of Eng land.,of objection to,this Suez Canal project; and 'this, being the case, of course the motives of our own journals, in attacking it, rsre concluded to be anything but fair and h ono:a rable'.. - Three seats in Parlip Ament have become vacant within tholast firw d a y s , namely, one for Lewes, by the death Q . Mr. Fitzroy ; one for Reading, by the Prr.abtion to the bench of Mr. Keating ; and one for,Forfarshire, by the succession to the Peel'itge of Lord Duncan, on the death of Plther; Lord Camperdown. The two former: Seats, we believe, will be contested, since it is con- . sidered, the occasion offers an opportunity ' of •re4Cuing them from the hands of the Liberals. Every seat that can be gained is now of vital importance to the interest of the Constitutional Mersey Ferries. The writer does not trouble himself with the vexed question of their present management, but proceeds at once to point out how it is quite possible to prevent such.most in -convenient detentions of passengers as have re cently occurred, owing to the suspension of the traffic on account of the fog. His proposal certainly, appears to be a very' feasible one. But, at any rate, it is a subject that cannot be too thoroughly, ventilated; and one remelt' of its occupying, as it. now does, so • large a share of public attention, ought surely to be to induce the Commissioners to spare no pains in having some means devised, by which any such obstructions to the.femes,_ as .have recently occurred, may in future be avoided. IT might be curious, in one sense, to see how this arbiter gentium, LOUIS NAPOLEON, with all his great and far-reaching motivos, and cun ningly devised machinery, achieves only com promises. To the timid spectator it may be a relief to find that after all he is only mortaJ; and that his rough-hewn ends are shaped by the power of circumstance just as those of other and less pretentious potentates. In fact, we never have a better opinion of the honour or the state manship of Louis NAPOLEON, than when he frankly accepts that practical solution of his difficulties, which" he cannot really 'escape from by struggling or scheming. This man of the world cannot have so long lived in the system he aspires to yule, as not to have learnt the secret of reconciling his destiny with the homely maxim which enjoins us not to run our heads against stone walls. Tke highest lesson of practical statesmanship is to conquer the "situation," by judiciouSly yielding to it. To a large extent it is probable that Lows NA POLEON may turn out in the end conqueror of the Italian situation ; but we have seen fOr six monthS that his guidance is derived from something far other and lower than that Socratic demon who is supposed to preach to him.his destiny. The im mediate issue" of the Italian war was a compro mise, effected solely, by circumstances. Nor did men quarrel so much with the meagreness of this result, as with, the, pompous anneuneeMent of which it was the abortive sequel. The Emperor's fault is, that he does himself in justice. Perhaps, if his famo rested only on his acts, and were not judged by his own inflated standard, he would gain more credit asn an achiever of successful results. From the imaginative heights where he mapped out an Italy_free from the Alps to the Adriatic, to the hard, practical ,level where the,peace of Villa: franca interposed a thick wall to his aspiring intentions, the fall was 'too great for the gmost elastic reputation. Yet he. has only himself 'to blame for ascending such a giddy 'height in the first instance, when modest - not only the most becoming but the safest course. The glory of an epigram, and the sublimity of a sentiment,' are seldom .fit tests by which to judge the actions even of the greatest of mankind. And the greater LOUIS NAPOLEON makes himself as an epigram— matist and sentimentalist, at so much the lower level by comparison will the world rate him as a warrior or a statesman. ..-• • FRANCE. THE IMPERIAL PAMPHLET. The event of the day at Paris, on Thursdays i , ! was the publication of the imperial pamphlet on the temporality of the Pope. It was not issued until the afternoon. I. -t PARIg, Dec. 23. The French Cabinet has, by telegraph informeelV the Powers concerned that the opening of Con' gress will not take place before the 19th January, ta next. Yesterday, Prince Metternich paid his official visit to her Imperial Highness the Princese--- Mathilde. - IL; Mr. Cobden, M.P., had a- lengthened audience_ ri i of the Emperoi- of the French at• -the Tnilleries) on Wednesday last. We do not, therefore, depreciate Louis NAPOLEON for his submission to events, but 50 FRENCH FUNDS. ; tfr PARIS, Dec. 23., 12 10 P.2l,—Funds, open with — 4 an improved tendency. Rentes 70 45. .3 30 .P.M.-=The market has been rather animated and closed firm. Rentes 70 50. and an advance since yesterday of 15c. • , - for his ludicrous anticipations of superiority to them. It must be admitted that it is- a sharp descent from " destiny" to " compromise." That it is an unpleasant confession for the man of des tiny to make, that it requires after all no CD:anus to read the true causes and motives of his past, nor the chances and likelihoods of his future. But we are sure that Louis NAPOLEON would earn much more respect for his position and mach more credit yor, ,his professions, if he would come out of him gaudy mystic cloak of destiny, and lint on the every day dress of other men.. Does his tory record any achievement of war or any stroke of 'Jolley of which the' end was not sooner or later compromise ? Nay, the forms of society, the sys tem of government, the conduct of national. or international affairs,, is a compromise. Even ,the whole moral and material 'life 'of man, even the organisation and adaptation of the Church, of Christ itself, is at present only a system of compromise, <often clumsy, and never achieving a complete and perfect purpose. Let Louis NAPOLEON be honestly content to be a. com promiser. Thus the question which agitates Europe we have got, or are getting, at a more manageable distance. It is, as all men know, the Pope's , car riage which really stops the diplomatic way, and the best means at hand are to be used to find a convenient stable where it can be put up, to be drawn forth only on state occasions, and as a spectacle in the procession of sovereigns, much as the equipage of an absent grandee at a mar riage or. a funeral. Men have been trying their hands at the Roman question, now timo out of mind, and find it as inexplicable as ever. The Pontifical Government has been for a weary num ber of years nothing but a dead weight upon the European system, nothing but ,an in terference with higher and holier ob jects, nothing but a standing reproach to the religion with which it, is identified. Philo sophy and experience have both been exhausted to prove whether, another alternative is possible. They have both given an unimpeachable verdict in the negatiye. Either witness alone Might rbe open to the charge of mistake and impoiny in the case of the one, or of unfairness and Ike ' sumpticm in the case of the other. Together, they are irresistible ; and are entrenched im movably behind the alliance of logic and fact.
