LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, • LONDON, Saturday Evening. The Market for English Stocks at the opening this morning. was somewhat depressed. This was accounted for in some measure by the large • amounts of bullion taken up for the Continent. Business, however, improved a little, and at the c lose thethe raf.:,rket exhibited more firmness. Consols opened a,t 95:i to 96, and they are; now at 96 just, • both for money and aehonnt. There have been a number of speculative. sales. Reduced, 9•11, ; New. Three per Cents, 94, 1.

Jl telegram from l‘latiriJl to the effect that tie Spanish Government had r• solved to declare war against Morocco, caused the Funds to open with great heaviness; and, although it was afterwards shown- to be erroneous, and tap simple fact was ; that a Machinpaperhad advised thh Government to go to ova;;, the recovery. at the close of business was only partial. Ther , has he:. increased demand for motley to-day, and few tran:- tions took place below 24' per cent.—Times The Funds experienced a sudden reaction. The market opened at a reduction of nearly w per cent. below those of yesterday. Aftcr the close of the Stock Exchange inFreased heevines; prevailed. The demand for meaq today was active ; and it was even to get the best bills discounted below 2 per cent. No gold was withdrawn from the Bank to-day ; but the residue of of the £313,000 Ilistralian, by the Dover Castle, was pircha3ed for exportation, besides a portion, ,of , the 1113,039 by the Yorkshire, and the rest, it under stood, will go away. The foreign exchanges; this after ncion, were tea y, except, as i, , ,gortb-• 1 ) -ills on Belgium, which were quoted rather lower.—Lally Yews:l RAILWAY SHARE MARKET. • il'etcrday the market for railway stock followed the -- fluctuation , . in funds, and - eloscd in most instances at a - ocline. Grand Trunk of Canada advanced about 1 per :- Atlantic and St. Lawrence, and Great Western Of Canada improved. - The aggregate traffic returns of the United Kingdom exceeded, by £17,100, the same week last year. • THE. PRODUCE MARKET, The Tinus, speaking of the produce markets d.:ring the week, says they may b) described as having been inactive, the Only alteration of importance being a recovery of Cpil to-is leer cwt. in sugar, from-the ; lowest pi)int lately repcirted, the very large supplies brought forward Toying net more thal,adequitt9 to meet the improved demand for "coi4Uniption. Since the receipt of the'reent news from China, the .tea market has continued -quiet;-with a limited assort, Ment in first kinds offering. The quarterly indigo sal€43% - tifo6e3il with less spirit, but partly in consequence of the diminished attendance of continental buyers. The termination of these sales expected aboiat Tuesday. FAILURE IN RUSSIA. The Times announces another large Thi-i.3ian failure of Al. Gutsebkoff, an'Ottensive manufacturer at Mhos= cow, and formerly mayor of 'that city. llis :liabilities amount to £240,000, and he is said to have committed suicide.

The Spanish Government has declared to ilh2 C.)rted'that. it is gaing to begin war with MoroccO. The decfaratfOn of the' Prem;.,:r's accredited organ,of the :press, .t.hat. the Emperor. Napoleon " has undertahat special protection of the Papal GoyernMent, and also of Italian libel•ty," - whilSt Papal 'power and Italian 'liberty are at open warfare, indicates, pretty plainly, the great - difficulty in which his Majesty must find himself at the present moment. There is.no doUbt that co-operate With France in the pro t-::ction of the Papay ; and, on the othei'' , lrliml, ::12.re is as little doubt that all the " Italian liberty" party; Yinoinding, may presume, the troops of Sardinia, and thosr! of Garibaldi, enter the field in resistance of iLliat ewer. A - fiercer war than before would thus appear to be impending'. Sardinia, it' will be seen, is endeavouring to contract a44ler loan of one hundred millions of francs, by means of alienation of Ren tes, on the public debt; to that amount. The object of this at the present con tincture can s:',7,reely be Mistaken. Wc; give, in another column, en abstract of the new regulations relating to 'ip%l elections, as provided for in the recent Act of, Parliament. One of these regulations, it will be seen, requires a seven days! notice to the Town Clerk, for giving which, on the present occasion, to-day cyloaday) is the last day. There arc other regulations which it is most important shonld be attended to, and it may be useful . to remind those more inareediatAy concerned of their now being in force.. Recent in!elligenee from India makes it more than probable that the veteran Lord Clyde, instead of returning to his native country to enjoy the fruits of his numerous and exhausting labours, will. be* called on to head an efficient force for the purpose of bringing the Chinese Government to a sense of the obligations incurred by treaties; and also of sh2Wing that Government that how little scorer it may care for the lives of its soldiers, the Governments of Europe are determined to ''.resist and .punish any wanton attack on their armies or navies. Few things afford more_ general and more truly national gratification in this country than a know ledge of the fact that , the scions of our Royal 'House are se deporting theniselVes as to evince" a training and.dispositionin_unison with the practi cal good feeling and good sense which actuate. our people. This feeling-must re aeive rau ch gratification from the fact that Prince Alfred promptly on his arrival at SIDYFIa, put hialsClf in connection with the authoriti6S of the Simma and ANL Railway, and that he in fact became personally an in terested _spectator of the progress of the great work. That his reception was enthusiastic, might have been expected, and the full gratification of that anticipation will, in all probability, lead to further displays of .reciprocal interest between the go vernment of that einpire , and the commercial intelligence of this country. The puzzling uncertainty which has so fre quently arisen as to the immediate employment ' and ultimate destination ot the Great • Eastern was supposed to -be overcome. That uncertainty, -however, - appears to -have re-arisen ; and while it now seems certain. that the great ship will not cross the Atlantic this year, it 'is algo made evi dent that the - directors of the company by which she is owned have not made up their minds as to how she is to be immediately employed.„ ,So far as present indications suggest she seems likely to pass the winter at Southampton, most probably with a view to ,her starting. early, iii the spring' upon some oceanic voyage. ROMAN CATHOLIC Europe is at present suffering a deep internal and external agitation. One thing is at least evident, that she still retains a respect able amount of political life and power of. stub born resistance. • Yet the aspect which she presents cannot be said to be either healthy or imposing. The Jupiter that sits on the Seven Hills nods with scarcely more effect than to show how little shaking of the nations even that nod can produce. The lightning shoots athwart the political horizon, but is almost as harmless as the flashes that play in a serene sky. Alloca tions pour from the Vatican, in which the vo cabulary of denunciation Seems exhausted, but the ,esqtqpedalia verba strike on the common ear much as stage thunder diversifies, with a mock 'sense of the sublime, the ennui of the play-goer. It is necessary to the representative consistency - 6f - the piece,—that is all ; and perhaps no one mould say that 'altogether the Roman piece is put "fiadly on the stage. Nearer home, almost harsher fulminations float across the water from provincial bishops ; and curses, which perhaps do not rest upon their devoted object, but return to their authors in the shape of troublous dreams. And lastly, the jealousy and vigilance of Louis NAPOLEON have even found it necessary to put a curb upon the uncompliMentary pre sumption of his traditional flatterers, the French Bishops. But if these political demon strations are not imposing in their external aspect, neither can they be looked upon as healthy signs of internal vitality. These are not the weapons wherewith the Saints " subdued " kingdoms." This is not the panoply in which faith wrestles with principalities and powers. In' All this hurly-burly of secular warfare, these crafty devices of statesmanship, this dependence on brute force, these curses of high-handed but thwarted power, we scarcely discern the signs of that. " victory which overcometh the.world." Nor yet can we ate any justification for these male , (lietions of an authority confident in its unini-t peachable claims, in the jealous and severe safe-guards with which the - earlier Church fenced - the doctrines' of the faith, and repelled the dangerous perversions of heretics. Spiritual - 7eapons find but a sorry and - inadequate "em ployment in the enforceinent - of political claims. Priestly anathemas were scarcely Meant . to be hurled at the head of those - Who question the secular wisdom or judicious statesmanship of the priest. A solemn council of the whole Christian body throughout the world holds a different stand point from that . of a Roman Sovereign; though in another :aspect of his character that Soereign does arrogate to himself the - 6 - ffice' of universal' Bishop. Although, there fore, the ,Church of Rome, exhibits at this crisis of her fortunes a great vis inertii, she is turning towards the general gaze that side of, her character which least challenges the , admiration, and can no longer awaken the fears of mankind. Of course, she tells us that the intogrity : of her faith is, in some remote, and, impalpable way, bound un with the maintenance of her political naosition. But this kind of far-reaching logic, and, power of discovering feeble analogies, is a common art of zealous ecclesiastics ; and the world is un willing,--perhaps too unwilling, to follow them in their long and elaborate explications. What they do see plainly, and wonder at reflectively, is, that which draws forth Se .much ready zeal; seems to be the familiar topic falling in most naturally with the 'genius of their every day religion; and to take the colours of their accustomed habits of thought, are those political interest: which the temporal sovereignty of their chief Bishop has created and is to sustain. Romish Bishops do not think that they are at all descending into an unpleasant and unworthy necessity, when they find themselves tossing up all this dust, and going throned' all these frantic rounds in a political arena: It evidently falls in with their religious tastes. They go to it with a gusto. They are fighting for the great ideal in their They, are, in their element. This is 'a great service for GOD. This is a confessor ship for a pre-eminent principle. This is a pro per exertion of high and indelible attributes. The zeal which might have been hesitating, the anxiety which might have been cold, if the faith of NIccEA were called in 'question, wax hot and furious indeed,'when men are disposed to look With favour on the aspiration:; after good govern pent in a few paltry SOtes where a Pope is made a p - appet, and worldly-minded cardinals rule. minds. And. is it so ? Will the Church of Rome tell us that the apple of her eye is touched, when her political supremacy over a Miserable tract of Ita lian territory is impugned? Is faith vanishing from the earth and Anti-Christ at hand, because national life is striving in one corner of Italy, as in many other places, to burst through the forms of a worn-out and oppressive system ? On the contrary, we tell her that never does .she wilfully throw away so much real influence as when she identifies herself with many of the meanest pas sions of mankind, ar.-1 represents her interests as based on political and territorial rights. Expe rience has taught her that she cannot wield the two swords. They interfere with each other. Infallibility has not taught her the secret which can harmonise the double power. Let her give it up as a hopeless case. What is her gain ? She is fast descending, in her corporate capacity, into a mere political engine, rather than a spiritual instrninent. She is developing more and more into a huge and monstrous system, that curse of sonls, - religious party spirit: The object of Reli gion is to bring Heaven upon earth. But the policy of the Court of Rome, which seems now inspiring all its spiritual servants, and distorting all spiritual effort, is setting up that domain of SATAN, a religiou.s and sanctimonious world. WHEN LOUTS NAPOLEON was elected President of the French Republic, it was considered a mark of his sagacity and penetration that, after having enlisted on his side the feelings of the army, he used his best efforts to conciliate and engage the sympathies of the Church, and to obtain its support. The Emperor, fortified on the one hand by the temporal, and on the other by the spiritual Powers, was enabled to effect that coup d'etat which paved the way to the Imperial throne he now occupies. It would be inconsistent with that importance which he once evidently attached to the countenance of the Church, if he cast aside her favour now, unless he felt himself too strong to need the aid of her approbation, as being no longer useful to his views. The reproof which he administered to the AiCiIBISTIOP OF BORDEAUX has provoked an active antagonism, which, in the confidence of his own power, he did not expect to see raised up against his dynasty. The Ultramontane party has shown itself quite ready to accept the gauntlet he has so hastily thrown down. Warnings may be issued against the Press, such as forbid the publication of any epis copal or ecclesiastical protests against the Bor deaux manifesto ; yet in spite of these the priests privately circulate remonstrances which cannot be publicly announced. The " eldest son of the Church," seeing the hostility which he has raised up against himself, from either policy or com punction, evidently desires to make an amende ; and this, we think, may be read in the Emperor's refusal to receive the deputation from the o Romagnese, which waited on him at P aris, while he graciously gave audiences to those from b e e p the l te ms mra Modena, Parma, and Tusca n y .

We cannot fail to see in this a- yet' lingering respect' .to the Ecclesiastical . Powers, emanating either from f .4 : ' motives arising from sacred or from political con siderations. He has, indeed,put the screw upon the Court of Rome, by threatening to withdravit' the French troops, by whose bayonets- alone the power of the PorE. has been, for the last tea - years, sustained, unless his Holy Father'consents to certain reforms-in the civil polity of the Papal States; which he will not do, since the only reply to such a measure . was a , declaration through' : CardinalANTo:iNELLl to the DUE.EDE that Pius IX. had reached the utmost limits of any concessions he was prepared to make to popular opinion and demand. With such a state of affairs, what is the Congress which is to follow as the sequel of - the Peace of Villafranca, now ratified pit t Zurich, likely to effect ? The very starting point in itself is one of difficulty. A year agq, perhaps, none of us expected a war would take place between Austria and France and Sar diaia. No one could exactly foresee the expulsion of the Italian Dukes from their respective king doms ; not even the intimate frinnis of the Emperor of the French,—neither had Lord PALMERSTON and Lord CLARENDON, then visited the Ir.:perial circle at Compeig,ne,—and therefore, in all probability, they were ignorant of how • soon the Exchanges of London, Paris, Berlin, and Vienna would be ringing with the rumours of approaching war; and, perhaps, there was but one man who knew of, and saw the coming conflict rising like a little cloud in the political horizon, and he—namely, Count CAVOUR—is now an ex-Minis ter, dissatisfied with the results of the war. What has been the issue of this so far unexpected cam paign The cession of Lombardy to Sardinia ; the self-glorification of NAPOLEON 111. ; the consolida tion of his dynasty ; and the amity of the Emperor of Austria, for his moderation at the meeting at Villafranca. In fact,. the Italians themselves are now inclined to carry out the Napoleonic " idea" of establishing the freedom of the Peninsula—the intention left incomplete by NAPOLEON, after the imposing promige of libe rating Italy " from the Alps to the Adriatic." The disposal of the Dachies will form the great subject of discussion in any European Congress. which may meet for the deliberation of this most important . preliminary question. The people of the Duchies have already re pudiated the restoration of thei r l a t e ru lers, and have themselves determined upon annexation to Sar dinia. But the Con gress , it a ppears, is to de cide for them the form of go vernm ent they are to adopt, and which, when decided on, will, we may expect, be supported, and, if possible, car ried out, by all sorts of political and dipl o matic manoeuvring, or by any other means short of ab solute force. Sardinia will, of course, take a seat at the Congress, as well as England, Russia • France, Austria, Prussia, and the other three second-rate Continental Powers of Spain, Sweden , and Belgium. But will these Powers, which are hereditary monarchies, encourage a people rising to select their own form of government ? A lO4 assuredly not ; and should Lord JOIIN RUSSELL persist in his avowed determination, that this country will, be no party to any compulsory re: storation to their dominions of the Dukes 0 ' Tuscany, Modena, and Parma, either by mill tarp force or diplomatic arrangement, what, in such an eventuality as the Congress deciding in favour of the return of the Dukes, will be the position into which England must be thrown She must stand alone, or else she must choose th e alternative of an undignified isolation, or an actic ° ' co-operation with the States of Central Itali . which refuse a confederation, and will haT e nothing more nor less than amalgamation wit h Piedmont. The more, then, we look into th e probable turn which the discussion at th is coming Congress will take, the less desirable doe° it appear, for our own honour and dignity, that eve should have anything to do with it ; and th e more apparent it becomes that it is most unfor ttl ; nate for this country, at so critical a juncture ra European affairs, that we should have L o JOHN RUSSELL at the Foreign-office. NOTES OF THE DAY. It is evident that King Victor Emmanuel has ~f is it length made up his mind to act for himself in the TO', question. Since he is to be no party to a treaty of with Austria, he doubtless feels himself at liberty "" pursue his , own course ; and that coarse, it is 11°,s'r manifest, is to be, what he calls, Italian independen ce ' j , although it is not to be an independence that will egcl"; his own rule, wherever it can be enforced. The langll4 oi he has just held to the Municipality of Genoa 1 5 llg only very decisive, but very warlike. Ile tc ; o a them, in the first place, that " with resolution, 11° " be and perseverance, the lawful wishes of Italy wi ll granted ;" and then he reminds theme that 44 t here 91 ; 1; questions which are more promptly settled on the bat' field than by means of diploma c y , " —at the same time e.:**s pressing the hope that, since their cause h a s the s y nlP of Europe, diplomacy m a y y et do the work, insteaa °f reso rting again to the battle field. But the very .0-, stance stance of the King of Sardinia again conte such an extremity in the present state of the Peniroulti' looks like anything but peace. The King of Naples, on one side of the States of . 1 , Church, and Garribaldi on the other, are whetting the.B swords for a fight respecting the Papacy. Theretr:o every reason to believe, moreover, that 1 . 5 ,d, is quite prepared to stand up for the Popedon l ; and, is so far as one can judge, the French Emperor unwilling to give his aid to its support. There is t es t little doubt that this is one of Louis Napoleon's gr e° be difficulties at present. If his recent declarations are to believed, he would fain see great concessions re . °, ° _, c, _ the Papal Power to the States that are under its tu` poral rule.
