A favourable tone continues in the English funds, and a slight advance has been established to-day. There was a fair demand for discount to-day, and at the Bank the applications were on a full average scale. In the Stock Exchange, also, 2 per cent. was given for loans on Govern ment securities. There were no bullion opera tions at the Bank to-day. The railway market continues to improve : in several English descrip tions a fresh advance of J has taken place.— Times. The funds have again &en very firm to-day, although animation was. prevented by the long delay in the convocation of the Congress. Late in the afternoon an advance of per cent. took place, in answer to an improvement of like amount on the Paris Bourse. All classes of securities closed with firmness. The demand for money to-day was rather active ; many of the private banks being apparently short, and discounters arc not very anxious to do business at 2 per cent. — Daily News. COMMERCIAL. renders are required at the Indian. Office for a ship to take stores from Glasgow to Bombay. The Daily News describes the sugar market, yesterday, as firmer, and states that: the tea sales ,have terminated heavily.

We communicated a piece of intelligence in our later editions of yesterday which could not but produce a rather startling effect ; although it is the communication of an event which has, from various oircumstances, now lost much of the intensity of interest with which it would once have been invested. We allude to the reported death of Nana Sahib. It is given without quali fication, in the Lahore Chronicle, fron3 the Oude correspondent of that paper, writing an the 7th October. The Nana, it is said, died in a valley on the Nepaul frontier ; and his death would appear to have been the signal for the dispersion of all his followers. Let us hope that it is all quite true, and that our Indian Empire will be no more troubled by that rebel chieftain or any of his infuriate forces. It appears that the Spanish Government have chartered a line of our English paddle steamers for her war service in Morocco, the first of which has already sailed from Hull. The Nova Scotian, from Quebec, which arrived in the Mersey yesterday, and the news by which we immediately published in a later edition, has brought a great deal of news, both from Canada and the United States. The Canadian parliamentary opposition were co-operating with a large body of delegates, from different parts of the provinces, at Toronto, in a Reform conven tion, where it was understood that important constitutional changes were to be mooted. From Washington, U.S., we learn that mili tary assistance had been required, and de spatched for the frontier of the Rio Grande, in consequence of the alarming condition of that part of the country. The negro abolitionist, Frederick Douglass, who is well known in Eng land, had escaped from the officers of justice, who were in pursuit of him, on a charge of being in volved in the Harper's Ferry insurrection. He had succeeded in reaching Canada, and was about to prorted to England. He has denied.that he had anything to do with the insurrection; although he admits that he was aware that it was about to break out. He regarded the scheme as rash and wild, and would have nothing to do with it. Most important, if true, is an item of intel ligenceor rather of rumour--Avhich has reached this' country through Brussels, that the object of Lord Cowley's visit to London, is to submit to her Mejesty's Government a proposal from the French Emperor; for a simultaneous disarming • by England and France. This is important, if true ; 'because it indicates on. the part of the French Government a, pacific spirit. But it would be difficult, perhaps, to say what disarming we, in this country; have to make. Our actual armaments, unlike those of France, are by no means out of character with the most friendly intentions towards every_ other power. And, its respects the Volunteer Move ment, why, surely, Englishmen have a right to be prepared to defend their " tight little island ;" and it ought.to be no offence to France, or any other country, that, as islanders, we are so pre pared, simply as a matter of patriotic precaution. Austria, it will be seen, has done a graCious act in granting a full amnesty to all persons who were coinprOmised by the part they acted in the recent Italian hostilities-whether they be civi.o or military persons. Let us hope that this is another indication of an improved policy on the part of the Austrian Government. The Volunteer Rifle_ and Artillery ' Corps movement is greatly on the increase in all parts of the country. Meetings have been held in London and Westminster, during the present week, for the formation of additional corps. Companies of Volunteer Cavalry are likely to be formed in the rural districts.. lirconnection with this subject, it is gratifying to find, from the Registrar-General's new Report, that our British youth are growing at a rate which would add a battalion to the strength of our national de-, fences every two or three days. The spirit of emulative patriotism for which the British nation has always been remarkable, appears to have taken full possession of the peo ple of Liverpool and its vicinity. Yesterday we felt proud in being privileged to lay before our readers a few particulars relative to the organisa tion of a Volunteer Corps enrolled from among the workmen of the Mersey Steel and Iron Works ; and to-day we are pleased in being able to state some of the preliminary details of a similar movement among the numerous employees of the British and North American Royal Mail Steam ship Company. Both the instances referred to are inspiriting, and highly praiseworthy ; but fortunately they, do not exhaust the patriotic deeds achieved, at 'this crisis of affairs, by the workmen of the different establishments in town. Thus, with much satisfaction, we learn that a number of men belonging to other firms have, also come' . forward with commendable esprit . du corps—sufficiently numerous to entitle them to the thanks and warm gratitude' of the community Among the. extensive work- ,y. oY•. shops so contributing we learn that the workmen of Mr. Alderman Bennett present themselves in for midable and good array. The same also may be said of those in the employment of Messrs. Milner and Sou, of the Phoenix Safe Works, and many others. The volunteer movement is at present really VOLUNTARY and POPULAR; and, if we may so speak, it has had a wonderful effect in changing the tone of our " good allies," who seldom miss an opportunity of reminding their valued friend " John Bull" that he is a very weak and unfortunately helpless creature. • WE suppose not even its religious friends will deny that the Papal Government is an anomaly among States. There are not a few of the POPE'S spiritual subjects, who openly declare that the abolition of his temporal power would be an advantage to the Church, whose interests should be his undivided concern ; while a larger propor tion of the intelligent Roman Catholic mind in Europe, advocates at least some change as a neces sity both of the Church and of the age. Taking it in this light, that ecclesiastical and religious concerns should occupy the chief atten tion of a Bishop, and above all of a Universal Bishop, we may .fairly ask, is it fitting that the affairs of the Roman States should involve the Papal mind in this constant suspense, distraction, torture, secularity? Is it an edifying or a hope ful spectacle to the religious mind, to see the Vatican surrounded and ob . scures for ever by this atmosphere of political inttigue and states man,cimning, and all the crooked arts of a govern merit at war with its subjects, dissatisfied with itself,: and reduced to this terrible necessity, namely, that its only safety consists in the exaggeration of those inherent faults which first rendered its position precarious ? We care not to reason with the Ultramontane, whether of the French or Irish species—in the strength of his worldly passions and the feroCity of his worldly hate he is above or beneath argument and remon strance. But is it no shock to the feelings of the devout Roman Catholic, a serious tax upon his natural reverence, to • see the head of his Faith, personally identified with a system which two millions of his fellow-believers execrate and revile ? We cannot answer for it, what mighty clockwork; with its springs in the boudoir of the POPE, goes on beneath the surface of common things. Yet it cannot but strike Christian men, that the acts which chiefly denote the ropes power and activity to the world, are concerned in the relations with foreign governments, and the consolidation, of a political system. The power and activity, too, which they see, are a power which is contemned, and, therefore, an activity which is perverted or wasted. Micept as a dogma . entertained in the breasts of the ,believer in a religious theory, the Pope is scarcely anything but the crowned representative of a political system. The diplomacy of the statesman, the bayonet of the mercenary, demonstrate his exist ence to Europe. He is for ever engaged in petty struggles to keep his head above water ; discharg ing spiritual thunder against manifestations of political life which yet he himself cannot wholly condemn ; and, what is worse than all, shoWing the impotency, not only of his temporal, but, at the same time, of his spiritual arm. He has not even the satisfaction of sacrificing his political reputation to his spiritual responsibilities; but in vain efforts to resuscitate the one, is more than suspected of necessarily pretermitting the other. His character'of Sovereign, obscures that of Bishop ; but he has the double and uncompen sated misfortune of being reverenced in neither. But then, it must be recollected that the ques tion is not whether the POPE'S Government is to be destroyed, or the revolt of his subjects to be abetted, but whether that Government is to be propped up by foreign support, and the people taught their lesson by an alien master. Although we do not believe in the abstract right of rebellion, yet, we say unhesitatingly on the other hand, that the ruler who extorts obedience from his subjects by the sword of the stranger, has no moral right to rule. There may be reason in that foreign assistance which is solicited to overawe•a momentary spirit of revo lution excited by the sudden influence of un wonted events ; but when this dependan:, , e lengthens into the normal condition of a State, the system becomes nothing but an outrage upon polities and an outrage upon nature. Revolu tion too often propagates itself like a contagious disease ; and the subtle influence of a contagion is we know abnormal and unnatural. It justifies therefore, and often needs, the appli cation of a strange and violent preventive. But when the pattrnal face is never seen except through the flashings of foreign bayonets, and the hateful shadow between the heart of the sovereign and his subjects seems a per manent institution, the whole becomes a burden too irksome for humanity to bear, an anomaly that defies all the refinements of logic and casuistry,—a shapeless, and objectless, and exanimated system upon which one almost fancies that God and nature have alike set their ban. And this dependance upon foreign assist ance, while it maintains an appearance of power, and gives u. sort of spasmodic life to an almost effete government, aggravates its inherent vices, and strengthens the will, as well as the opportu nity to oppress. History teaches us that the most timorous of the Roman Emperors, was also the most inhuman and ferocious. A weak and fear ful government that has a momentary despera tion given to it, by the presence of extraneous aid, finds its resource of safety in an aggravation and an assiduity of petty. tyranny. It vainly thinks to gain a lease of future security, by an extraordinary demonstration of this factitious power ; and even without the desire of revenge, is cruel or oppressive. The POPE'S temporary possession of foreign assistance, renders unneces sary to his safety, the policy of concession. Fear, as to subsequent consequences, makes him obsti nate and implacable. He dares not forgive lest he could not bear the onset of his enemies. He dares not concede, lest all should be asked, and he be unable to resist. We must admit that the recent effort of arbitrary power which the Pope's double character has impelled him and enabled him to exert, bears too evident a sign, that the Papal Government has lost • its chance, and can henceforward find no place for repentance. We can scarcely imagine that there is one good man, of whatever religious opinions, who can retain a synipathetie feeling for any system which, under the name of religion, tramples upon the Divine right of Parentage, and thinks to do GOD service by violating His own sacred and irreversible ordinance. Nor can thinking men forget, that were the' POPE not a king he would have been saved from this grave transgression against the laws of GOD and nature. THE letters on tidal currents, by Professor Haughton, of Trinity . College, Dublin, which it is our great pvivilege to be allowed to publish in our columns from time to time, are calculated to throw a light upon the subject of navigation in our channels, which cannot but have a most im portant practical effect, in averting such dreadful shipwrecks as those which ever and anon shock and affright the nation so intensely by the enor mous loss of life which they generally involve. The case of the Royal Charter, the inquiry into which by the Board of Trade is now going on, was but one of many instances, almost equally deplorable, of shipwreck quite within hail of the destined port, and after having escaped the perils and dangers of thousands of miles of voyage across the stormy seas. We do not mean to imply that this last most fatal wreck was directly connected with the question of tidal currents'; but this we do contend, that whenever a ship has to encounter a storm in our channels, a knowledge of such currents,---a scientific know ledge of that important question,—is actually indispensable, to enable the commander to navi gate his vessel in safety. In another of Professor HAUGHTON'S valuable letters, which we publish to-day, he observes : "The tidal current is only concerned indirectly "in the loss of the R o y al Charter and Pomona ; " but in the case o f the two vessels t 9 whi c h I now ask your reader' attenti on , Vic " tidal current was directly the cause of the " disaster." And the learned Professor then PO' ceeds to detail the case of the loss of the barque Emperor, and to allude to that of the.

In that of the Lady Ebringt on ' the serious damage she sustained, and the narrow escape from loss that she ha ta the court imputed , to a similar causer —t default, namely, of the master in not heaving t he lead. But Professor HAUGHTON, it will be sect, is of opinion, that the ebb - stream setting 3erv:7% , the bank with unusual rapidity, was the sol e cause of the loss of the Emperor ; and he 131° .; tains that the truth of his theory is conclusively established by the remarkable fact, that s 4. - 01 6 the same time of the tide, on the same occasion , , Lady Ebrington should h ave groun d e d under pre, cisely similar circumstances, and have been, sc ' ve i great difficulty, saved from becoming a tet'' wreck. Without, then, committing ourselves wholly t° these very decided opinions, we do not ile°, t to say, that the subject is one which imperati (N demands the most careful: consideration of ti t° who have to do with the investigation of wr ecV t ; It is evident, we think, that the tidal curr ell , th have a great deal, if not everything, to do kith such disasters in our channels. We would n o go so far as to say that the tidal carre ll so entirely affect the navigation of the el l° 0 ; nels, as to justify dispensing with the us e to the lead. But, however important it may b e . use that instrument, as a precaution in 65e : of doubt and danger, the great question of cannot but think, is that of the tidal car r ell Every master of a ship, therefore,—every seaman, indeed, ought to have some knowlego of this scientific question. Not only is such knowledge likely to enable them to keep as hr out of danger—more particularly during st ol3ls ' in the channels—but it is likely, also, to aid 0 1Ost materially in pointing out what is the true coar s : to take in any difficulty, or any peril, that 0 % arise in approaching our coasts. For the sue: reason, it seems to be most important, we c°, ceive, that every Court of Inquiry into the CII, t cumstances of wrecks, or other disasters , sea, should have upon it one or owr : scientific persons qualified to bring question like that of the tidal eur reil bie to bear upon the inquiry, so as to y n r a, the court to come to a right conclusion. r the ing to Professor HAUGHTON, in neither 0 ' t cases he now refers to, did the court orric e el correct judgment in the matter. There is a 11 a known law in tidal currents ; and those who had studied the question, as one of science, are e ll abled, by a knowledge of that law, to come to° correct opinion as to the state of the tide, and the direction and force of its current, under circumstances. It is this, then, we are persued to which master mariners must direct 02° be attention than they have hitherto done, and able to rely upon it, rather than upon those P re ; cautions which are now generally taken, if tit : " are to be safe from shipwreck in our chan ile t ; Every Board of Inquiry, we repeat, oug ht ,t be in a position to have the cases brong; before them tested by similar scientific I LI/°' , 3 ledge of these tidal currents.

THIS well-established Daily Paper,—the first that was attempted in the Provinces,—is now, under a new proprietary, devoted to the interests of the great :Conservative party. Its principles are those so forcibly expressed by the Earl of Derby, at the reeent Liverpool Banquet, when he said, --" I speak of that Conservatism which is not obstructive, but which is the best promoter of safe and gradual social improve ment,—of that Conservatism which, strenuously adhering to the old machinery 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 realm their due weight, authority, and,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 blustering 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 iafikt 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 there a moment when a temperate and judicious application of the Daily Press to the espousal 61 its cause, and .the dissemination of its principles, was capable of serving more beneficial purposes. Hitherto, the Daily Papers of Liverpool have, one kid all, been exclusively in the so-called Liberal, that is, the Whig and Radical, interest. The Conservative cause 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 already secured is large and increasing; it is about three times more than it was when it came into its pre sent hands,---and if 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 Lixlerpool to a more active course of public dutT ; and the obligation, in times like the present, to sustain a Daily Paper in their imports t interest, cannot fail to be :acknow ledged, and ought thefFfore to be acted upon.

Dr. Taylor writes to correct certain errors, committed•by our reporter in noticing the lecture on "The British Churches." "King Julius" should hive been " King Lusius ;" and instead of placing the introduction of the " Anglican Church" in the sixteenth century, it should have been its " Reformalion."
