MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Saturday Evening. The Cotton Market, to-day, exhibited no change in character. A good business was transacted at steady prices, the sales reaching 10,0 0 0 bales, of which 2,000 were for export or taken on specula tion. The Liverpool Sha re M ar k e t has been particu larly steady to-day, but the business was of too limited a character to admit of any change in the nature of the reports.

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE. LONDON, Saturday Evening. The English Stock Market maintained through out the day the improved feeling manifested before the close of business yesterday.

THE Derby Banquet has moresthan realised the brightest, and fondest anticipations of splendid success. Never, perhaps, was public man the object of am ore hrilliantpolitical demonstration than this Banquet which has been given to the Prime Minis ter, and his colleagues of an Administration, the unprincipled removalCif which is one of the foulest blots that-stains .the escutcheon -of the' Liberal party. Havinc , devoted so large a portion of our available space to a report of the interesting pro ceedings of this great occasion - , whilst we are precluded thereby •from presenting more to-day, in the way of comment, than is given in the article which followsthe brief paragraphs in this department of our columns ; we are, at the same time, u ndel the necessity of curtailing both-our. local and general intelligence of the day—for which, we trust, our readers will make all due allowance. The preparations for the expedition to China must be in a much more-forward statethan people had any idea of, since it is now expected. that the vessels will be ready to sail from Portsmouth for their destination as early as the day after to morrow. Such, at least, is the statement of the Times, and our contemporary is usually pretty well informed in such matters, Considerable anxiety is now very naturally shown as to the possibility of recovering the bullion lost in the wreck of the Royal Charter. Insurances have 'been effected upon it at Lloyd's, it is stated, at twenty-five per cent. If it is re coverable at all, one would suppose'that such an insurance was a very safe speculation. Several reasons have arisen, since the removal of Sir George Grey from the Governorship of the Cape of Good Hope, for his resuming his late post in that Colony. There was a strong desire that he should.do so at the Colonial Office, and influential parties interested at the Cape Colony have been using their influence to effect that object.- We now learn that Sir George has con sented to resume his former post. He made this statement to a deputation that waited upon him a few days since. Concurrently with the prorogation of Parlia ment, the Convocation of the Prelates and Clergy of the province of Canterbury ha's been prorogued to Friday, the lath of December. It will be seen by one of our latest telegrams that the French Emperor has addressed a letter to the King of Sardinia, on the subject of Italian regeneration, in which he proposes that Italy should be composed of several independent states, united by a federal bond, each to adopt a par ticular representative system, and sallitary re forms, with a ratification of the principle of Italian nationality, and the Confederation to have its directing centre at Rome, the Pope himself having its honorary presidency. The communi cation is dated from the Palace of St. Cloud, on 20th October. IF any further answer was needed to the cavil of interested critics, that Conseiwatives are without a policy, the demonstration of Saturday will supply it. The excuse, that our adversaries wish to believe what they feign, cannot be said at any time to have much force or merit. But now that the absurdity of such a belief becomes every day plainer to all men, the most credulous and the most perverse will become ashamed of obtuse ness that will not have its eyes opened, or obsti nacy that refuses to be convinced. We have a Constitution ; though Mr. Bright has had a dream, and doubts it. There is a great party that knows there is something to preserve while it amends, and to defend while it modifies nd adapts. Unless gaturclay's Banquet teach some such lesson as this, unless this is the reply which it gives forth to all the envious, and all the selfish, and all the ignorant, and all the untruthful,—it was nothing. It was worse than nothing. It was a scene where met together children of a larger growth, to please themselves " with a rattle," to tickle each other " with a straw,"—where elegant triflers, amid blazing lights, and variegated colours, and streamers waving in the air, and much mock enthusiasm, assembled a little world of beauty and fashion, to see a costly amusement tripped through gracefully, to see incense poured upon an empty shrine, to see the antics of men puffed up with inane flatteries of one another. But what heart was there in that brilliant crowd that did not awaken to a faith, long time indeed suffering reverses, but never without its promise ? Who was there that even the festive gaiety of the occasion prevented from rising to the full con sciousness that there was yet a battle to be fought, that the leader had raised the standard, and taken the dispositions of the campaign ? Conservatives, then, have something they can believe in, something that binds them together, something to trust to, something to DO. This last is the highest lesson of all. The Banquet was no mere, amusement, no mere outlet for a barren sympathy, no channel for idle gratulations, no mere regretful praise of times and things that are past. The cause, in deed, which lent that night's inspiration has its foundations deep in history, and in nature which. is true always and for all ; but the hopes which it prompted go far into the future, and map out a course of vigorous and manly effort. Yet it is not necessary to overlook the fact that the demon stration took the guise of a personal compliment to the Earl of DERBY, and, through him, to his Ministerial colleagues. It was peculiarly fitting under circumstances with which we are all so that a Ministry opposed by painfully familiar , petty and factious obstacles, having discharged very difficult functions under sneers, insinuations, affected suspicion, and even open slander, should come down face to face with the electors, and redress the injustice of Parliament with the acquittal of the country. An address of confi dence might, on ordinary - occasions, be out -of place ; on this, nothing could be .more appropriate and becoming. While Lord, DERBY was in THE FUNDS.-CLOSING PRICER, Con.

The English funds again opened heavily this morning, and remained without much sign of improvement until late in the day, when some considerable purchases were effected, and a report- became current that at the Cabi net Council this afternoon some communication was to be made of an arrangement of the Morocco question. Money was in gdod supply, and the Government broker bought. £7,000 reduced for the India security fund. The total purchases on this account have just reached £67,000, and they are now understood to have termi nated. The amount has been derived from the . half yearly dividends and the sums previously invested. In the foreign exchanges, this afternoon there was a slight decline on the rate on Hamburg.—Times. The funds opened with dulness, but the market ex perienced a decided improvement in the afternoon, and the market closed with firmness at an advance of per cent. Owing to the extreme inactivity of business. the improvement in the funds scarcely extended to any other department of the Stock Exchange. The demand for money in commercial channels was brisker.to-day. Few or no bills were discounted below the Bank mini mum, and the applications at that establishment, though moderate, were both !larger than for some time past, and of a more diversified character. In addition to £B,OOO of bar ;old taken from the Bank to-day, the bulk of the 159',235 sovs, by the Maid of Judah, being of Australian coinage, was purchased for the Continent. - —Daily News. RAILWAY SHARE MARKET. The preparations for the fortnightly settlement in the railway. market were commenced yesterday, and show that through the political apprehensions, many of the speculators, for the rise, have sold to close their accounts. Mese sales having been met to some extent by money purchases of the public, the market is firm and stock scarce. The aggregate traffic returns of the United Kingdom for last week show an increase of £42,850 over the past year. The increase for the last two weeks is £89,950. COMMERCIAL. The Sea Serpent has arrived from China with 1,087,900 Its. of tea. At the public sales of tea, on Thursday and Friday, prices exhibited a downward tendency, particularly for the flavoury congous ; scented teas were also cheaper. The Times, in its weekly review of the colonial pro duce market, says the transactions have been on a very moderato scale, and a few of the principal articles closed at a slight decline. , to-day , LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—OCTOBER 29. • • The cotton market oontArme§ vfit.ll-9121 and ,a good business Las been transacted at steady prices.

Of these there are two that yet challenge much , national : attention and enqUiry. , Lord MALMESBUitY ' g - foreign policy, and the tiribery which — con tributed so much 'to the compOsition of that Parliament which, true -to -that - Liberal infusion, overturned a virtuous and incor rupt. Government.- We were bei n g thrown by a gradual but sure process, into the arms of des potism. - Yet so much accord of praise, and so much silence of accusation, did a nearer acquaint ance with Lord MALiuESBURY'4 ' policy produce, that the present erratic genius of the Exchequer waslain, in this instance, to achieve his usual sub lime point of isolation by questioning its prudence, which; with less proof, he had before adMitted! While the accuser held down his head, and almost mumbled his , retractation, Lord MALME S BURY had the additional satisfaction of seeing Mr. GLADSTONE great at once and childish, honest but inconsistent—nil fait implant, "sic eibi retract. his . former - acquiescence, and out-paradox his paradoxical self. The, notorious failure in the other charge that dwells most in our memories, though it was not more complete, was- still more disastrous to its , disgraced and discbmfited inventors. The gigantic corruption that was to overwhelm a third of the constituencies of England, did indeed send round its li t for contributions; but it was in the Liberal interest. It did indeed flood the country with its agents but it was at the Reform Club, and not at the Carlton, they received their instructions. The preponderance of votes that expressed "no confi dence" in Lord DERBY'S Administration, were a dozen handfuls of gold thrown 'into the scale ; and for the moment outweighing the patriotism and wisdom of the State. It would be almost against nature to believe that such a triumph can be more than transitory; The course of political justice has advanced step after step. 'lt is to the infinite credit of Lord DERBY that, under the lowest calumny, he has Ratiently and calmly allowed it to work its own silent and inevitable way. He comes out. the brighter, in that he has not said.a word to anti cipate or to challenge the. verdict. What more .could .a constitutional Minister wish ? He has been rewarded with a special mark of approval by his Sovereign. He has now received the grateful thanks of the party of the Constitution: THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. To-morrow is the day in which the Conservative interest in the Town C,ouncil will be tested by the result of the elections. Contests are the order of the day in a greater number of the wards than have been seen for several years past. In all of those wards the Conservative candidates stand well on the canvassing books, and in each instance the committee - of the Con servatives look forward N a triumph. In Pitt-street and Castle-street Wards the return of Mr. W. P. Jeffreys is looked on as a certain result. -For Castle-street ward there seems little real opposition to the return of Mr. Woodburn. North and South Toxteth are con sidered sure `game for the Conservatives ; so also are Vauxhall and St. Paul's Wards. In Lime-street there seems %Ile certainty of a smart contest, That Mr..Wil sonPill S. R. Jeffery close, if not off the field, appears now to be admitted by the Mends of the last named gentleman. They are so fully convinced of this themselves, that the chairman of Mr. Jeffery's coin, -mittee has condescended .to issue circulars, warning - the electors to beware of the " unknown individuar' who "" has lent his name as a candidate to oppose the re election" of Mr. Jeffery. A straw thrown up shows the set of the wind ; and this brochure of Mr. Thos. Haigh cannot be 'overlooked. It is significant of defeat.'

The Paris correspondent ot the Times, has received from Italy a .copy of a letter written by the Emperor, on the 20th instant; and guarantees its authenticity. The Emperor writes to the King to settle with him the course which ought to be followed for the future. The circumstances, he' says, are grave, and it is requisite to lay aside idle allusions. The Emperor observes that the question is not now whether he has done well , or ill at Villafranca ; but rather to obtain from the . treaty results the most favourable for the pacification of Italy . and for the • repose of Europe. The point was to reconcile a multitude of interests. It was necessary to conclude a treaty that should secure in the best manner possible the independenee of Italy ; which should satisfy piedmont, and yet whieh should not wound the Catholic sentiment, or the rights of the Sovereign in whom 'Europe felt an interest. The Emperor then gives in detail his views as to modes in which his objects may be best accom plished, and adds : —lt i s the real interests of y'ur Majesty, as to the Peninsula, to second me in the 'development of this plan, in order to obtain from it the `best results . ; for your Majesty cannot forget that I am bound by the treaty, and I cannot, in the Congress -which is about to open, withdraw myself from my engagements. The part of France is placed beforehand -the plan itself is already known. The Emperor demands that the Duchesi of Parma shall he called to Modena. Parma is to be united to Piedmont. Tuscany, aug mented, perhaps, by a portion of territory, shall be re stored to the Grand Duke Ferdinand, and a system of moderate sage liberty shall be adopted in all the states of Italy. The Emperor traces the plan of an Italian Confed( - ration, with the Pope as its honorary president; as this increase of his moral influence would enable him to make concessions in conformity with the legitimate wishes of the populations. The correspondent of the Times says the participation of England in a Congress is not yet settled. • BELGI } Ls, Oat. 30.

Saturday, the tsienty-ninth day of October, eighteen hundred and fifty-nine, will henceforth be looked to as marking an epoch in the annals of the Conservative Polity of Great Britain. On that day the Conservatives of this --great commercial town of Liverpool ass_embled in the Philharmonic Hall, to express publicly their adherence to Constitutional principles, and the,ir unshaken faith in the wisdom, energy, and prudence of the Earl of Derby as their talented leader and uncompromising champion ; and also to testify their entire concurrence in the course of policy pursued by that noble lord, and his colleagues) in the late Ministry. - The event had been long looked forward to as one' offering a much-desired opportunity of showing to the country that the Conservatives of Liverpool, the greatest commercial emporium in Britain, and o f , Lahcashire, the largest and most extensive manufactur ing, community in the world,—are not on ly alive to' the true interests of the nation, but that they are' also energetic in pursuing those objects, and tha t line of policy, foreign and domestic, which have contributed so materially in raising this country tc:, the important position which it holds among the nations Of - the earth. Consequent on the prevalence of this feeling, so soon as the intention of hold ing such celebration was made known, a few of the leading men of Liverpool communicated with each other, and having so far arranged preliminaries, a committee was formed to carry the intenti on i n t o e f fec t. N . ° sooner was the committee fo rme d th an th e grea t im portance of the movement became app aren t. Appliee" tions for opportamitie.sito participate in the demonstra tion poured, in upon the, committee long before the in tention had been reduced to any definite. form. One! of the preliminary movements was the preparation of an address from the Conservatives of Liverpool, expressive of their confidence in the Earl of Derby as head a the Conservative party, and indicative of their re liance on the ability and integrity of his lordship and his colleagues in the late Ministry. It went further than this, however: it expressed an opinion, and a strong one the unpatriotic means adopted by the opponents ef -- Conservative principles to overthrOw the Governmen t ' of Lord Derby. So strongly was this expression of ,feeling participated in,- that upwards .of seven thousand signatures were soon appended to the address. The gentlemen who agreed to act as the committee and stewards of the great Conservative Banquet whic h it was resolved to hold, as an ovation, at which the Conservative cause should be at once recognised and pro , moted, and who took upon themselves the onerous duties of this important office, discharged those duties So efficiently and so satisfactorily, that their names. deserve to be 1- - corded, and will be found in the subjoined : I L D : s. s to T Apnh o de F errsß ; s i hl 3 v i e i lei TT i,,T E A.

Tobin, itia ha ,Cdhlairrt The appointment of the committee and stewards/ although, in most other instances, it would- have been equivalent to, a solution of the difficulties insuperable from the preliminaries of a banquet of a political character, was in this instance only the first among those difficulties. The applications for places by those eager to take a part in the demonstration were so' numerous a nd so urgent, that-the committee were 'em barrassed by their rapid accumulation. Still, the leading preliminary had. scarcely been carried out. The aeeePt mice of such a tribute by Lord Derby, had not been made sure. The general feeling having been so favour ably and so strongly expressed, in regard to the form 0 the demonstation, the Earl of Derby was communicated with, and assent was obtained. From this point all was' `plain sailing, with the. exception of that Which connected itself with the overwhelming number 0 ' applicants for tickets. - The Philharmonic Hall, the largest to be had In Liverpool, and one of the most eligible and commodious in the Kingdom, was, after mature deliberation: aml inspection, secured. Sub-committees of the gentlemen named were appointed to arrange the different matter s connected with the banquet, and in the face of many'aiffi culties the arrangements were proceeded with. Conse quent on the extraordinary number of applications f° i. places, the task imposed on the committee was one so dell cate as almost' to border on individionsness. 'Nothing daunted, however, the members sf the committee P r f; ceeded in their allotment of tickets, and if not succ essl " . in obviating every complaint, they are at least entitled ° the merit of having most conscientiously apportioned t l f accommodation placed within their control; and the gn i " in its general brilliancy of company and arrangements' bore testimony to the judgment, good taste, a nd im partiality with which those harassing duties had been discharged. One feature, and an' important one, of the - deel ° s stration, was the desire that it should be partic i p st in by as many of the colleagues of the Earl of Derby in the late Ministry as could possibly be got teg eth ! l. h . Invitations were accordingly sent to all of them, and th"-j. cheerful and ready acquiescence bore witness to the e a feeling and cordial understanding which subsisted nn still subsists between the members of the late Govern ; ment and theii chief. Nearly every invitation wes . v s o once accepted, and such an 'array of administratlat talent, and of individuals possessed of pre-enlin he political status, as was assembled on the " dais" in 01 Philharmonic Hall, on Saturday night, has sold n 3 before been witnessed on any festive occasion.
