The confirmation of the news of the signing of the treaty of peace at Zurich, the settlement of the dispute between Spain and Morocco, and above all the continued abundance of capital seeking investment caused the English funds to open this morning with increased firmness, and subseque ntl y to experience a further ad vance. Consols left off steadily at an improvement of 1, per cent. There was an increased demand fcr money to-day, and the rate in the open market was fully 21 per cent, Business in foreign stocks has been active, and in several eases, especially Peruvian, Spanish, and Veneznelas, an advance has taken place.

We would direct attention to- a paragraph in another column, headed " The Liberal Supporters of the Derby Government ;" from which it will be seen that certain of those supporters; previous to the division on the no 7 confidence motion, which put an end to Lord Derby's Government, obtained an assurance' from the Premier himself, that his Governnient were prepared to give the pledges they required ; first, that the Reform Bill should be made to ,meet the wishes of the majority of the_ House of commons.; . and, secondly, that in their foreign policy, they would maintain the then existing neutrality. As this statement has .been publicly made by the honourable member for Leith, in self-yindication to his constituents, we suppose it ma 3 be taken for granted as a perfectly reliable one. It will be seen by, our latest .intelligence re specting the Italian question, that the treaty of Zurich,—which, however, has not yet been signed, although now quite ready for signature,—is, in its terms, almost identical with that agreed to at Villafranca. And in the, opinion of the Times, it is a treaty " that seems to settle no one of the questions that disquiet Italy and Europe." The fact is, that all the mare important points that are requisite for a settlement of the Italian diffi culty are left to be submitted to the decision of a European Congress,—a Congress in which, accord ing to Lord Palmerston's organ, the Morning Post, "England can and will take no part, unless the first principle be a full, free, and unreserved re cognition of the rights of Romagna and Tuscany, no less than of the Modenese and Parmese States, fn Qolf-cre.‘yrry.m - r , n. 14 !, A Cabinet Council, the third during the pre sent week, wds held yesterday, at the official residence of Lord . Palmerston, in Downing-street. It was attended by Viscount Palmerston, the Lord Chancellor, Lord John Russell, the Duke of New castle, the Right Hon. Sydney Herbert, Sir Chas. Wood, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Duke of Somerset, the Right llon. T. Milner Gibson, -Sir George Grey, the Earl of Elgin, and the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers. Yesterday Prince Napoleon and suite, having paid a visit to the Great Eastern at Holyhead, arrived in Liverpool, in the imperial steam yacht Dauphin. His visit here was merely en passant, and strictly private ; and after partaking of refreshments at the Adelphi Hotel, he and the principal members of his suite proceeded to Man chester, whence they returned in the evening, and, embarking on board the Dauphin, again sailed for. Prance. The Commissioners appointed for examining the Lighthouses of Great Britain and Ireland have completed their survey, and are now about to visit the coast on the opposite side of the Channel, for the purpose of seeing how they do these things in France. It is anticipated that the report of the Commissioners will be published shortly after the visitation of the French coast is completed. THE searching investigation into the malpractices of which, it is but too evident, both political parties have been guilty at Wakefield, not only, it may be presumed, at the last election, but generally as a system, ought to suggest to our legislators some more effectual preventative of bribery and corruption than has yet been devised. It is clear, by the evidence obtained from the agents and partisans on both sides, that among the great body of electors below a certain grade, votes were to be considered as altogether a matter of bargain and sale. Their value was estimated according to circumstances. The Parliamentary agent of the Liberals, who was brought down from London, on summons, " expressly for the " occasion," states before the Commission, that within a fortnight after his arrival he had the condition of the borough fully before him, and properly classified. " As all election agents would do," he says, " I had a list of voters whom " nothing could touch, arid then — the doubtful " ones . ; the neutrals forming another class; and " out of town' sometimes make a fourth,"—and then, in addition to this classification, which of itself smells of corruption, he had given to him " a long list of persons that were bribable on both " sides,"—so long a list that he could not refrain from exclaiming to the local agency, " why, " surely you must have made a mistake, the " borough of Wakefield cannot be so corrupt as " this." But there was not much mistake about it, as the result so forcibly showed. For this very agent had to acknowledge, that he himself received from London £2,000, and also obtained upon the spot £5'75 more,—making, in all, a sum of £2,575, which was sill expended for corrupt pUiposes,—and this to effect the return of a brother-in-law of Mr. JOIIN BRIGIIT, pro fessedly, of course, upon purity -of- election - Orinciples! , • The fact..of the. Liberals_having a metropolitan head-quarters for bribery and corruption at elec tions, as was shewn to be the case by the evidence of the Parliamentary agent, is of itself a very significant and instructive circumstance. Many people have hitherto supposed, that the Li berals were too pure, too right-principled, to have anything to do with such iniquitous prac tices: But these disclosure's at Wakefield, and the previous disclosures at Gloucester, and those before Committees of the House of Commons, have most incontestibly proved, that the cor-._ ruptest political party in the State is the Liberal party itself, maugre all its high-flown professions to the contrary. We say the corruptest; because at is not to be denied _that, at Wakefield, certain of the Conservative party have been betrayed into a participation of this Liberal system of bribing and corrupting voters. Their excuse is, that the example was set them by the other side, and that they were constrained to have recourse to it in self-defence. But this is no valid excuse. We know, however, how hard it is to bear, that the Conservative interests of any constituency Should be overborne by such corrupt practices ; and how great is the temptation to, as the saying is, " fight the enemy with his own weapons," on these occasions. Still, such a course is indefensible ; and we heartily trust that, for the time to come, under no provocation what ever will Conservatives so far forget them selves as to practice any such corrupt means of maintaining their influence, and returning their member. Not the least instructive lesson these exposures teach, is that _which we find in the fact of bribery and corruption having to be resorted to, almost if not altogether exclusively, With those very classes of the people, among whom it is so vehe mently insisted upon by the Liberals that the fran chise should be extended. And what, therefore, is the inference? 'What can it be, but that just in proportion as you lower the elective franchise, will you increase those very portions of the con stituencies among whom bribery and corruption have the greatest, if not the only, chance of being made available ? We are not of those who would contemplate for a moment any alteration of the franchise in the opposite direction. So . far from contracting it, in the slightest degree, we'think' it should be very considerably enlarged, although not in the way advocated by Mr. JOHN BRIGIIT and' his followers. But it is evident that, whether at Gloucester or at Wakefield, had the elective franchise been less extended in the democratic direction than it is, there would have been infinitely less corruption —nay, we question whether, in such a case, there would have been any corruption whatever. This, then, we repeat, is an important consideration. What eounti.Y wants, is such a Parliamentary constituency as will be as much as possible above the probability of being corrupted ; and such a constituency, it is evident, - can never be secured by any such extension of the suffrage as that which the Radicals 'so furiously insist upon. THE Zurich conferences have at last done their work ; and a very incomplete work it is. The signing. of .a treaty is generally a final and con clusive evidence that difficulties have been re moved, competing claims adjusted, and the basis for a full and•perfect understanding satisfactorily laid. But this Zurich peace between Emperors is, as regards the other and more important interests at issue, only the setting loose of those contentious spirits whose deadly feud is to mark the next stage of the history. Tt is not to b 3 wondered at, that the preparatory diplomacy at Zurich should be more than anxious to get rid of a burden which had become too heavy to bear. The real question at issue wholly transcended its tentative efforts, and mocked the delicate punctilio of Imperial arrangements. It would be curious to ascertain what is the exact state of feeling with which the EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA regards his Gallic friend, and which this out ward semblance of reconciliation can only serve to misrepresent or disguise. It would be curious also to know what is the bond of their new friendship, and the guarantee of a somewhat unnatural alliance. The two Emperors have shaken hands, and passed to each other the friendly glass; but it is scarcely possible to believe in a genuine reconciliation, unless•on the assumption that the articles of some material arrangement have been ratified and exchanged. With what favour can FRANCIS JOSEPH entertain the offers of a meddlesome conqueror, who has not only cut an important slice from his Italian possessions, but sown the seeds of confusion that seems inter minable, and of unknown losses that cannot be repaired? Austria would have been still mistress, undisturbed and unthreatened, in the richest pro vinces of Italy, and that little constitutional eye sore of Piedmont still in the back dround and trembling at her frown, but for the mad-cap caprice . of a French busy-body. But it is the order. of the day to look pleasantly, not to pass an ugly word, not to hint a disagreeable sus picion, not to allow a -jar in the concord. Though it appears, notwithstanding, that even now,: in this reign of restored good-will, and polite recognition of each other's small prejudices and peculiarities, FRANCIS JOSEPH is unable to count upon the material assistance of his ally, in establishing:the conditions of their own treaty. indeed, to o enc o u p m p b o e se r I Lo ta tr ly ls w N it A h Po h L e E l o p N ; does but nhoe refuses t, he leaves the great i its ddee e ea ff d, o :, r ts ww - 2 a il. f h t rt he n bd a ei s a 1 b e i best d t e o p e s t n r d a n e n g c e e a t W v e i l i l . , d lafranca, to work itself out . in the hands of it 3 natural apostles. Never will he give a truer sign of understanding his epoch, than when he is brought to acknowledge, as a truth of phi losophy, and of history, that only - a nation itself can - work out its own independence ; for, before it can attain the privilege, it must show itself worthy of it ; and it can only show itself wor thy in the process of 'attainment. We may fairly conclude that the force of public opinion has kept back the soldiers of Louis NAPOLEON from consummating either a meditated treachery, or al disappointing and humiliating compromise. It has compelled Louis NAPOLEON to understand the crisis,—or, at least, that it would be 'highly inju dicious and unsafe for him to think of moulding and distorting it. The cause, therefore, is remit ted from the Council Chamber of despots, and the . eager acuteness of diplomatists, to - the virtue and resolution of the people whom alone it really concerns : who alone really care to suffer for itr fight for it, or die for it. But it seems to be considered, after all, that this question is the inalienable property of dir lomacy ; and that another effort, on a larger scale, must shortly be made to bring it to the true arbitrament. From Villafranca to Zurich; from Zurich to Brussels !—at each fresh stager. the meeting is to assume a more important and deliberative aspect; and approach nearer to finality. It was a breakfast-table armistice at Villafranea; it was a preliminary diplomatic conference a t Zurich ; but the full and imposing strength of diplomacy is to be put on at Brussels. Now it is a very significant and pregnant inquiry, whether Europe can consider the Italian question so far ad vanced as to be ready for the final stage ? Hither to, these arrangements, and conferences, and O . morandums, have been tentative and preparatory' . Has the question yet become capable of the la st deliberative touch ? Can the diplomat put aside r the warrior, and supersede the hopes and plans 0 , national advocates by a distant and theoretics' adjustment ? Is not the cause still working its own fiery way, and with haughty hand brushing on one side the officious meddlers of diplonlaeP and the casuists of territorial logic? If the progress of Italian independence is to be stopped, the work of repression should have been begun long ago. There should have been a ° hesitation about Imperial advice, or tendern ess in its threatenings. The movement has gatheret and is gathering daily, suc h an i ncrease o f streng t and character, that it cannot now be checked , less in the midst of such violence and bloodall e as would make " Freedom sh r i e k," as if at the fau of another Poland, and cover Louis NAroi.o" and France with indelible disgrace.

The announcement is now officially made, that the Emperor of Russia and the P r i n c e Regent of Prussia will meet at" Breslau; and it is also stated, although not yet ofticiault that the Emperor of Austria is to be with them. 'Pi fr e is some doubt, "apparently, whether th6'Priiisian Regent will be present at the interview between the ° l v Emperors,—and there may be special reasons for this' But it is certainly 'ominous, in the present critical State of Europe, to see three Great Powers like these putt their heads together, considering, and in all proba bility planning, something for the future, as resp ects their mutual relations. Should Austria be able b" form a, close alliance with Russia, she will b.l consider ably fortified against France, and prepared, therof °fet at to take a more independent position with respect to rh o f Power. One would hope, however, that if the trea t ij peace which is concluded between the French Austrian Emperors is in any wise a satisfactory Set er ment of their recent differences, the approaching i nt o e ut ,, view may only have in conte m pl a ti on th e c arrYi n g„ te d, still more completely than may yet have been attet t he those reforms which late events m us t h ave slo w- f e ty crowned heads of Europe generally, c anno t with 59' be much longer delayed. about a e a n t c h t 0 Emperorinterpose t top ris If the rumour be true that has been current in t rio u joint the e the affairs Pope in a fa Italym manifesto f e i for the last day or two, of its being the intention Uu. the s a t o to inhabitants of the Papal States, Louis NaP le°ll e ye different manner from that w hi c h h e a d o pted in th e of Lombardy.
