The market for the Millie Funds and Securities retains an upward tendency, and a fresh improve ment of per cent. has "'been established to=day. The 7prpparations 'for the monthly settlement' in Conscils, fixed for to-morrow, have principally en gaged attention. Consols -closed at 954 to WI for money, and 95 1 to 952- "for the account. The - new Threes are quoted at 954' to 95'4. The London Share "Market was very inactive to-day, and at one time- prices declined a shade from the opening rate's. Afterwards, however, a better feeling set in, and prices advanced, some of the lead ing lines closing 1 per cent - better than on Thursday. East Lancashire are quoted at 941 to 95!-; - Great Western 591 to 591; Laneaghire and Yorkshire . 931 to 941 7 ; and Midland 1041 . t0 1041. In - the General Produce Markets we do not find any change worthy of •nofice to report. A fair demand prevails for Sugar, Coffee, and other leading articles of consumption. The stock of Sugar in Liverpool at present is 21,655 tons, of which 5,521 tons are 8.P., and 16,164 tons foreign, against a total of 25,491 tons last year, of which 9,505 tons were 8.P., and . 15,986 tons foreign. The stock this year is exclusive of 6,000 tons duty paid, in anticipa tion of increased duties. At the London Corn market, to-day, there was a very limited demand for all descriptions of Bread stuffs. Wheat declined 2s. per quarter, and Flour and Barlerwere also the turn-lower. The Messrs. Highway, of Walsall, have filed a pe tition for private arrangement, in the Bankruptcy -Court, at Birmingham, and their first meeting is ap pointed by the Court to take place on the 19th pros. A "petition in Bankruptcy has been lodged against Thomas Davies and Son, of the Neachills Collieries, at the Birmingham Court, but we believe no adjudi cation has yet taken place under this petition. From the circular of Mr. S. Griffiths, of Wolver hampton, we learn that in the South Staffordshire dis trict there are 128 furnaces in blast, which produce 14,190 tons of Pig Iron per week ; Shropshire 26 'furnaces in blast, which produce 2,860 tons per week. So that the present.?ggregate production of the South Staffordshire and Sh — ropsliire districts is 17,050 tons per week,—comparatively all this being converted in best Iron, very few furnaces indeed 'being now employed in making Cinder Pigs. Out .of blast in the Smith StaffOrdshire district, 55 furnaces, which produce 6,050 tons per week. Out of blast in Shrop shire, nine furnaces, which would produce, if at work, 990 tons - • per week ' In' the Forest of Dean there are four furnaces in blast, producing 440 tons per week, and four more out of blast, which would produce:44o tons per week f therefore, in the South Staffordshire district alone; we are producing 6,050 tons per week less than we should if the fifty-five furnaces. now out 'of blast were at work ;‘ and • the thirteen furnaces standing in Shropshire and the Forest of Dean reduce the weekly make of these districts by 1,430 tons. In the South Staffordshire district alone; -- the 128 furnaces now at work consume 16,170 tons of coal and slack . per week, (this includes, fuel for calcining m ine generation of steam, and hot air ovens,) me same furnaces consume 16,170 tons of ironstone mine of different kinds, per week ; (of course this calculation presumes the ironstone used to be raw or uncalcined) ; and the same furnaces consume 8,886 tons of lime stone per week. The present aggregate production of the South Staffordshire district, Forest of Dean, and Shropshire, gives a total of 18,150 tons of Pig Iron per week, wllich would be increased to .24,970 tons if the furnaces in these districts were all in blast. LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE. LONDON, Monday Evening. The Funds retain an upward tendency. A fresh improvement of t- per cent. has been established to day. Preparations for the monthly settlement in Consols, fixed for to-morrow, have principally en gaged attention. In the other markets prices are generally better. English and Indian Railway Shares, together with Turkish Stocks, are in chief request. Consols are officially marked 95Z to 952- both for Money and to-morrow's settlement. The present quotations are 954 to ft„ for Money and the present Account, and 952 " buyers," for the 7th of Sep tember. Bank Stock has been dealt in at 223 ; the Three per Cents. Reduced, at 951 to -'4; the New Three per Cents., at 951 to 96 ; the Indian Four per Cent. Debentures, 1858, at 94* ; ditto 1859, at 93*; Indian Bonds, at Bs. to Bs. dis. ; and Exchequer Bills, at 265. to 30s. prem. In the Foreign Stock market, the largest amount of business has been in Turkish stocks, which are in great demand, and have again risen 1 per cent. The Old Six per Cents. are now quoted 841 to 851, and the New, 741 to 751. Peruvian, Spanish, and Dutch stocks, amongst others, are in demand and rising.

RATURDAV EVENING. —The advices from St. Petersburg confirm the statement of the French journals, that the ar vingements for the issue of the imperial 3 per cent. loan of 1859 have been virtually completed. It is probable that the loan will be advanced in London within a fortnight. The funds were decidedly better. The fresh evidence •afforded from day to day of a wish of the French Emperor to reassure Europe is very favourably regarded, both here and in Paris. A fresh rise of Ito per cent. has taken place in Consols. There was a fair demand for money at the -Bank and other quarters. A belief that the corning Indian loan of £5,000;000 will be successful if brought out in a five per cent. stook, trans ferable .at the Bank of England, contributed to .t4-day's improvement In the other departments of the Stock -Exchange an upward 'tendency was also shown. There were no bullion operations at the Ralik to-day The imports of preetens metals this week have - been extra• ordinarily large, presenting the enormon L 1,27000. ke Times City Ai-tide.) SAYTURDAY Ey - pm/co.—The measures for creating a re vival , of speculation , on the Paris Bourse - influenced th English market, and Consols have closed to-day at ran . im proventent of I, peneent., although the tendency of a dray Of gold, observable during the past mouth, has bee] Cheehad, and some :amounts of recent , arriv,als have bee] retained. The Discount Market-Continues with-an-upward tendency. The'Dank rate is now +almost lower than in Lombard-street, and the demand-at that establishment has, been sufficient to reduce the reserve of unemployed notes to . a'point below any -previously touched during the present year. If the -return of the present week, therefore, should be in any degree ,like•theAt. an advance to '3 per cent. may (suppos ing precedent to7be acted: upon) be coniitlered certain on lhwsday next NORTHERN"' DAitir tIMES. TILE XEW RUSSIAN BANK The Commissioners.of the new Russian Bank are persons largely connected , with financial operations -on the Conti nent.; and especially it.i4 likely, with ..the, assistance of the Court -party, will tend considerably to promote the ardour for Bourse transactions, which has lately become a strong feature at the Russian capital, and this movement is favour able 0 the probability of peace being preserved in Europe during the next few - months.

In the House of Lords last night, Lord Normanby called attention to the fact that a lengthened corres pondence had passed between the British and Aus trian GoVermients on the Italian question, and asked the Under Secretary, for Foreign Affairs to lay the correspondence .on the table. This, Lord Wodehouse refused to do, stating that it would involve several matters, Which it would be 'premature to ,disclose. Some other conversation took place, and the matter dropped. In the House of Commons, the motion of Lord Elcho was brought on. He -at great letigth pro ceeded to point out-the various phases of the Italian question, and energetically contended that the British _Government could •not, with : any regard to gress which was to settle Italian affairs discussion followed, the result of which was, that k long the an4endment was; agreed to The Zurich conference was to commence yesterday. So far we have not received any details of the pro creedings, nor do we expect to do so until the various representatives have finished their labours As to the results; we cannot, with any - certainty, even pre dict them. There is one thing almost certain, Italian Independence will not gain much by the compact, which is sure to be entered into between the French and Austrian Governments. • • If we are to put any faith in the communications of the Paris' correspondent 'of the' Tithes', the Empe ror Napoleon showed Francis Joseph, at-Villafranca, his policy, which he diVided into four points, giving him to understand that the neutral. powers, (includ ing England and Prussia) were not averse to it. 1. Cession of Lombardy. 2. Erection of Venetia into a Duchy.. 3. Confederation of the Italian States: 4th. Restoration of the banished Duke's, and an am nesty. The writer adds—" You may depend upon this being correct." We very much doubt it. We do not think that England would give her uncondi tional assent to the restoration of the deposed Grand Dukes, the subjects of whom seem determined to keep them from again having any control over them. Austria and Prussia are not on good terms ; indeed, it may be said that a rupture has occurred between the two Governments ; and the state of affairs is looked upon as dangerous to the German interests. As we have already intimated would be the case, the King of Sardinia entered Milan on Sunday evening in state. The Ministers, the Parliament, the municipal bodies of Turin and Milan, and others, formed part of the procession. A Te Deurn was performed, an illumination took place at night, and everything passed off with eclat. We are told that the King was received with the utmost enthuiasm. This is doubtless owing to his coolness in respect of several of the -propositions of , France respecting , the diViSion. :of Italy. • A leader in the Horning' Herald, of yesterday, on the Customs Revenue for the year, would lead many of our readers to think that the trade of Liverpool was' clecreasing. Now, this is not the fact. Indeed, 'nearly, if'not fully, one-half of -the exports of the United Kingdom pass through the. port. It may be true that the imports of tea into Liverpool have of late decreased, but Liverpool chiefly receives free and low duty goods. , Thus, in the year ending Ist No vember, 1858, out of 4,290 vessels reported inwards to Liverpool, 2,230 were laden with corn, cotton, and other free goods,-1,346 with general cargoes, and 258 only with tea, sugar, and tobacco. As to the general trade of the country, we may , add that, on comparing the years 1857 and 1858, sixty-five ports give an increase of duty, and sixty-one a diminution. It was recently determined that the Crown should cease to be a warehouse-keeper of tobacco ; and this resolution has been carried out in fourteen out of a total of twenty-one ports. Goods fabricated abroad by foreign artisans, particularly watches, are still stamped with British names and brands, to the loss and disgrace of British industry. Indeed, this evil is on the increase, as it appears - that the cases re corded in London have risen from 195 in 1857 to 209 in 1858, and in the outports' froni -150 to 195. It may be noted that the consumption of colonial wines, especially those from the Cape; has increased, while from all other countries it has declined. The Cape wine has improved' , in quality, and only pays a duty of 25..10 d., against ss. 9 ,9 -d. a gallon charged on that from the Continent of Europe. We are given to understand that a decree will im mediately be issued dividing Lombardy into electoral districts, and the Piedmontese and Lombard united parliament will meet immediately after the elections. The press is also to be released from its fetters. This information is derived from nn nntlicuLic source. If vi,t,.. Emmanuel really carries out these intentions, he will be acting diametrically in opposition to the advice of his magnanimous ally, who has strongly recommended him to take a leaf out of his own book, but without the slightest success. The Paris Patrie congratulates itself on the improved tone of the English press —on what grounds it is impossible to say, as the great majority of the English papers have been confiscated by the police. The strike in the building trade in the metropolis has commenced in earnest. On Saturday about 25,000 men ceased to work. - The Morning Star of yesterday says s—" Much misapprehension exists amongst persons engaged in the building trades respecting a document which they erroneously suppose they will have to sign before obtaining employment. Such is not the case ; the so-called document being m ere ly a ver b al agreement between the employers and their workmen that the latter_ do ,not, at the time of engaging, nor will not whilst employed, belong to any society that may have for its object dictation in the, management of the establish ment, each workman being. left to -make his own agreement with the master. &Me believe that when the men are made aware of .the true nature of the, ' document.' little difficulty will be found in obtaining good workmen." Yesterday nearly all the public works were at a stand-still, The Globe announces that the offer of Vice-Presi dent of the Bord of Trade, vacated by Mr.. Wilson, was offered to Mr. More O'Farrel, but that he de clined to accept the office. We give at some length the proceedings at the adjourned meeting of the -Dock Board yesterday. It will be seen that the amendment of Mr. Bushell was,negatived We - give an ample report of the eases tried yesterday in the Court of Passage. It will be seen that several of them were more than usually inte resting.

We are pleased also to find that a son of the late Marquis of ANGLESEA evinces so• much zeal and talent in the administrative department of the Admiralty. The measure which he has .proposed is a good one, and just such, an one, as-js, required at, the present moment. His Lordship very justly alludes to the apparently nil-apropos time of his proposition, when the rEmPERcin of the French is professedly disarming,--at least, upOn the authority of the 3foniteur. The only reserve we have for the Navy is the coastgaard; which, although an efficient, is an inadequate force in an emergency, numbering as it does only, or rather less than, 4,000 men. We Wive besides, a force called the " Coast Volunteers," a' farce concerning which, with regard to its effici ency, there have been doubts &pressed, although Lord j 3 AGET does not, it seem§, himself, entertain but their services could not be required beyond`l6o miles from their own coast Allusion his Lordship observed, has been made to the ad mirable system which obtained. in 'Fraiice, called the "inscription maritime," under which, at , any moment,.. a.. vast • number .of seamen could. be rendered available The Royal Commission which was appointed last year, upon the /notion of Sir CHARLES N4rIER, recommended that from 20,000 to I 30,000 men should be enrolled as a reserve, under I the title of -"Royal Naval^ Vaunteers _ . It was proposed to give the men £6 per annum, with a deduction of £1 for a pension fund ; and it was further recommended' that, at the' age of 50 to 55, they should be entitled to a pension of 6d. per day. These men are to enrol themselves for five years are to be trained, eitler on shore or on board of man-of-war, for 28 days each year, and to be paid during that period " non-continuous service" pay, according to the rating they might : At the expiration of their term they may, if they please, re-enrol themselves for a further period of five years. If, however, unhappily, this country should be at war, each volunteer would be liable to be called upon to serve for three years in any part of the world he might be in, and, if necessary, upon the assumption that the war continued longer, for five years Each volunteer, under . a penalty of £2O, must answer the call for 28 days' train ing, either on shore or' afloat. We 'highly appro:•e of this VolUnteer Reserve Naval Corps, and by its formation,—thanks to Lord DERBY'S late direction of the affairs of this country,—we shall, after all, be found semper paratus, notwithstanding the inert expediency and truckling policy of the great Whig fainily compaet, with the admixture and fusion of- the Manchester party. The- plan was approved of by Sir F. BARING, Sir C. NAPIER, and Sir J. ELPHINSTONE. It is to be hoped that contact and association on board of men-of-war, during the twenty-eight days' drill, -will remove a great deal of that prejudice in the merchant service, against enlisting in Her MAJESTY'S service. When the 'men see the comfort, cleanliness, order, and discipline which obtain on board of Her MAJESTY'S ships, they, will not '►fie so reluctant, to join. as heretofore, especially , men - , of steady and good. character. The reason; perhaps,, why merchant seamen prefer the commercial, marine 'is, that they are enabled to come on shore, and to Squander in folly and dissipation their hard-earned wages, and then, after a career of most vicious animal indulgence, ship again as soon as their money and substance are expended. Altogether, we consi der the acceptance of the Report of the Royal In the Commissioners as a very important nio- ,- c right direction, for establiohing a most necessary and efficient naval force. Every merchant-commander will have to enrol on his ship's Articles the names of those sailors who belong to the Royal Naval Volun teer Corps. It is to be hoped that men-of-war's men and merchant-seamen will understand each other better than they have hitherto done. Lord C. PAGET observed that a navy could not be extempo rised, and quoted from a pamphlet written by the Prince DE JOINVILLE, who says—On a vu quel quefois le genie d'un homme improviser en arnthe, jamais un marine—" Sometimes we have seen the genius of a man extemporise an army, never a navy.'' The statement, as his lordship, Lord C. PAGET, justly added, is undoubtedly true. IF a daily newspaper wished to keep up in its lead ing columns, in all its recurring details, the tale now being told, day by day, by betrayed constituencie s who have posted up to Westminster to meet the malefactors, it would have to fill its second or third editions with editorial comments. There is no pause in the narration. Each of its transacti.z., though of itself calculated to challp.B-. a world of considera tion, is fairly trodden out of notice by its successor, and cheats us of the passing moral. We are hurried on from Wakefield to Gloucester, from Gloucester to Aylesbury, from Aylesbury to Norwich, from Norwich to Huddersfield, from Huddersfield to Preston, from Preston to Beverley, at a pace which leaves us no time to recruit our exhausted sensations, or to record the incidents of the progress. The picture has no relief. It is altogether too glaring, too monotonous, too overwhelming. We are tempted to lift up our hands and eyes for a moment, and pass on to a spectacle more sober, more 'diversified, and less exacting on the violent emotions. We cannot, how ever, bring ourselves to affect the callous insensibility of the Times. Much less can we shut our eyes to the lessons and warnings •which this unprecedented narrative of electoral strategy forces upon us. Above all, we hope no Constitutional journal will lose the opportunity of shrieking into the ears of Liberalism through the length and breadth of the land, that it„ not in its best phases, but in its , worst, has been sole author and hero of this tale ! The history still halts at the two last-named places, Preston and Beverley, where it gives every sign of being attended with the usual catastrophe with which we .understanding all become so sadly familia r -- the same good understanding between the briberss and the bribed,—the same unfearing confidence, and in several places the same treachery At Preston, bribery seems, by' long custom; tv have become an established and a settled. tradition- When an election is announced, men calculate upon it with as. much regularity as upon their weekly'. wages —for that year it becomes a certain though a fluctuating item of their income JOHN TURNER. t. 41 expected patrons that though he had yo . ted for bIWsTFELL at the previous election, hufelt that he had not received an, adequate recompence for his services; and with the Confidence of a huckster who is ;well 143 in. the_market7value of his property, does not hesitate to intimate his little'dissatisfaction to the' Liberal hgent4. - True, when he was referred magni ficently to the Liberal Committee-room, for a solid answer to his complaints, and was, asked his latest " quotation" for votes, his ostensible d.erxia:nd proved. to be of very modest dimensions Tb.is man, it appears, had drunk or squandered away his clothes into pawn. The -one touching anxiety- which hi_a lain heavy on his soul ,vas, how he could present himself in his proper " respectable" guiSe; as a free and independent voter—as of course all Preston voters, especially Liberal ones, are—at the Borough hustings The price of attaining this grave pitch of respectability our virtuous citizen estimates at 6S•" a very • moderate tax on the GRENFELD exchequer indeed There was an authority, we all know `rho, , in a very celebi•ated witness-box, once fixed the opening limit of gentility at the keeping of a gig; and. Mx., CARLYLE has ever since amused or terrified the World with his jeers at gigthanity We commend to the latter gentle- AUGUST 9, IR59= man's,notice the PfOston graduation, which materially There is no doubt that his pungent satire might be very aptly diversified 'and deepened alteiss the scale by_ the new manity" improvised by JOHN TURNER At all events, what else could Admiral' GREyFELL's Committee dO than sympathise with the_ decent con- cern Of. Mr. TUItNER Accordingly, our sensitive freeman ;marches to' the poll, as a respectable should do, to utter, his solemn '.recognition of the " inherent' privilege" of Englishmen Neither doe he return empty away ; for his liberal patrons furnish him, over and above the price of his pawn'" ticket, with means ample enough to celebrate for a week with his friends and acquaintance > the re- demption of his embargoed toggery. Freeman TURNER'S best suit has, doubtless, long since returned to its limbo, and he again, disconsolate and in rags, is waiting with a long hope for the next election. Putting aside any apparent comic aspect in this sal episode, there is something horribly consistent in the idea of a mercenary elector recording a corrupt vote in the shabby gentility of a creased and dusted suit, just rekased from the mouldy vermin of a pawn' Shop. It had been deposited in that appropriate ceptacle, doubtless, - to purchase gratification for the lowest and most unworthy appetite ; it is taken thence, consciously and professedly, as the most fitting garb in which to clothe the venal " respecta- . „ bility" which sacrifices principle for a handful of silver; and illuStrates fOr our instruction the pure. virtues of a democracy. Unfortunately for Admiral GRENFELL, 'there were too many other incorruptible electors, who estimated respectability at a much higher rate than poor JOHN TURNER. The,c had, however, as little to complain of. From two guineas up to ten, as far as has .yet aPpeared, their demand' met a ready_ acceptance ; and their keen traffic Was rewarcied bq the return Of the `Liberal caiididatc- Happily, the agency is proved and :,ainitted ; and the Admiral, we think, will sh.rtly be remitted to S ",private station The case of Beverley presents some melo-dramatic features, which, having thus accidentally come_ to light, make us think how many dark romances map be daily transacting in the midst of us and our prosy' civilization, and none but the few initiated be aware of them. The machinery of corruption at Beverley was somewhat more elaborate, and affected more of secrecy than the direct and ordinary processes adopted in other places. Bank notes are no longer flashed in the faces of the corruptible, nor passed across a table with the unreserve of a bank cashier ; b u t the attendant circumstances are arranged with a greater fidelity to the character of the bu siness, and indicate the dark and tortuous nature of the craft, and the agents who conduct it At Beverley there is a house bearing the eupho nious title of Toll Gavel. It appears to have beeg used for a similar purpose at previous elections , and here Mr. WALTER'S Committee met up the central office and head-quarter , of corruption. The name of the manager of the business was Mr. DANIEL Po YES. This gentleman had the honour of introducing the Liberal candidate, and took upon himself to predict his triumphant return under an elegant metaphor, to the effect that " DAN'S pups would beat WRIJGGEHITT's dogs." After the experience we have had, we shall not be thought guilty of misunderstanding the first half of Mr. BOYES'S dark sentence ; though the antithesis of the latter is not so clear. However, at the Toll Gavel were Mr. BOYES'S pups carefully unkennelled , and very soon set, to bark in those subdued tones, audible enough to the mercenary elm tors of Bever ley. The guise borrowed by the " respectability" Of corruption at Beverley is a counting-house, with its office-desk, books, and papers in heaps, and all other paraphernalia of commerce. Amid these evidences of a reputable and thriving occupation, Mr. Bo`YES duly instals his official dignity, and sits pen in hand• But though nothing more than this revealed itself to the passer-by or casual looker-in, inside there were dark signs passing from one to another ; muttered charms that opened doors, and caused a clinking as of golden sovereigns, which took the reason of a heal' tating elector prisoner ; and there was the flourish' ing of a wand by the head magician, which summoned to kis post a mute servant of the temple► who hurried the neophyte to the inner adytters , where the choicer part of the mysteries was to be completed. Mr. BOYES'S process was sparing o f the use. of language. His little arrangements wed carried on in broken sentences, b y more ignifieant and effective than a ouportluous ex" Put as c rams 4ou.se 'rh Place i Ye had of 2 besl Ca„:c. ti.; t' l oB k gatu to rar 'hi e klef, e< * iio tik tdi 41
