LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE. Wednesday Evening. In the English Stock Market to-day business was defective in activity, though on the whole the general tone was satisfactory. Consols, which opened firmly at 961 to ti, were eventually quoted 961 to a for Money and the Account.

The following appeared in a part of our impression of yesterday THE MONEY MARKET. Gold is 2-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London, 1-10th dearer in Hamburg than in London, and the present course of exchange at New York on London leaves only a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. The intelligence of the friendly understanding between Russia and Prussia seems calculated to have a favourable influence on prices, fro m it s being likely to interpose a partial check against new European wars. Among the few speculators that assembled on the Royal Exchanges the no minal 'quotation of Consols was 961. The de mand for money to-day has again been active, both at Bank and in open market. This being All-Saints Day, there has been no Bourse trans actions either at Paris or Vienna. In the foreign exchanges, this afternoon, there was a slight decline in the rate on Amsterdam.—Times. The Stock Exchange was closed according to custom. There was a marked increase in the applications for money at the Bank of England, and in the general market it was only by way of favour that the best bills were discounted at the Bank minimum. The immediate supply of money has become very scanty. The impression that money . will . yet become somewhat dearer this year is retained by many persons, and is en couraged by the continued remittance of gold to the Continent, by the flatness of the continen tal exchanges, and by the steady demand for silver for the East. There were no operations in gold at the Bank to-day. On 'Change, to-day-, the rates for drafts on Holland, and for long-dated bills on Paris, were again quoted less favourable for this country.—Daily News. MANCHESTER TRADE. Messrs. Du Fay and Co., of Manchester, say :—The hope and expectation of most men interested in mercantile solution, have operations, that the complications arising out of the late course of the war in Italy would gradually approach to a satisfactory be t enslowly passing away again in the once more throughoutl'li i !as olive month, and so many symptoms of , uneasiness in matters have shown themselves more disappea rs , an(. withstanding this, theeuotffiri3 Europe, that confidence more and rise is checked again. Not state and other accounts of the state of trade and navi gation Coigrtieneuemus o t f ot th t t w cou a nt d ry ey , e a l s op f m ar en a t s they are published, over - speculation satisfactory. Even and scheming, the which in the highest de entersch very little which must the great rear of over year 18.57, is surpassed by the preseli n t year,lvli be admitted by all to be a year little temptation offered itself to speculations requiring time to bring 7 them'snetvo to.any maturity. The natural sober growth of the trade o e f s ta country is thereby established beyond doubt or cavil. The working classes are fully employed and enabled tO lay by savings for less prosperous times, which after all may be in store for us, and money continues abundant and cheap, thus removing every obstacle for capital seek ing investment in domestic undertakings, and givino. employment to the labouring population unconnected with joint-stock management, which at former periods has given such disastrous results. As far as the trade of this district is concerned, ve have again to report that business daring the kpast month has continued to move on steadily and Itmetly. As the wants of one market fell off, the demands from the others stepped in to take away the productions of our spindles and of our looms. The accumulations of stock have continued to be very partial indeed, and their pressure upon pliees has been very slight. NOVITIERN DAILY TAMS. LIVERPOOL AGRICULTURAL ALIT,-Nov. t. s. d.

Messrs. J. P. Platt & Co., in their monthly circular, say :—During the greater part of last month freights were very firm, with every tendency to advance, in con sequence of the continued influx of goods for shipment; this latter induced the Brokers to lay on several ships, whichincreased tonnage, and the vessels now on the berth are almost more than equal to the demand ; hence we have a pause in the steadiness, and we anticipate, as the month advancts, some slight decline by other ships than the regular packets. Our to-day's quotations are : Melbourne to Railway Pier, fine goods, 40s. to 458. Earthenware, 30s. to 355. per ton measurement; Iron, &c., 40s. per ton weight.

To Adelaide, 40s. per ton measurement; 355. per ton weight. GENERAL PRODUCE, Messrs. Browne, Hunter, and Co., in their monthly circular, say :—A change for the better has taken place in the Produce markets during the last month; and had it not been for the very unsatisfactory state of Conti nental politics, notwithstanding the conclusion of a treaty of peace between France and Austria, we might have experienced a still greater improvement. The Board of Trade Returns, just published, for the nine months ending 30th September, show a most satisfactory state of trade generally. The imports are not excessive, whilst the consumption is fully equal to last year; and is, in most articles, in adva nce of the quantity imported. The stock of Goods remaining in bond on 30th September was :—Of Coffee 27,827,418 lbs., against 22,582,055 lbs. ; Rice 2,401,502 cwt., against 2,408,347 cwt. ; Pepper 5,620,874 lbs., against 5,495,131 lbs. ; and Sugar 2,197,137 cwt., against 1,838,393 cwt. Tea 58,613,965 lbs., against 62,585,786 lbs. on the 31st August. The tota declared value of Exports from the United Kingdom for nine months is £98,037;311, against £86,310,529; and £95,735,592 in 1857. LONDON FREIGHTS. In their monthly circular of the Ist November, Messrs. Seymour, Peacock and Co. say :—Since the date of our last circular, the political horizon has become more gloomy, wars and rumours of war occu pying the public mind, to the exclusion of commercial pursuits. The position of the shipping interest becomes daily more critical, the capital invested yielding an un profitable return, while the property itself rapidly depreciates in value. Unlike other property, shipping lasts but for a time, and, to be remunerative, must repay within a certain period the first cast, as well as the return for the capital invested, the costs of working, and the risks incured by the shipowner over those of all other capitalists ; hence every year of unproductive _ freights not only sacrifies interest on capital, but the very capital itself. The landholder may suffer for the temporary want of a tenant, or the tradesman' for want of customers ; but in neither case does the capital suffer beyond the interest or profit on the investment. The public mind requires educating upon the great shipping question of the country, and we hope the Ship owners' Associations will take steps for disseminat ing information on the subject throughout the length and breadth of the land. A vast deal of ignorance prevails among the landed aristocracy. who comprise a large proportion of our legislators, and the unthinking masses of the people, who return to Par liament another section of its members, upon the impor tance of the shipping interest to this country, and the nature of the grievances under which it suffers; other wise the patriotism and stern sense of justice which animates the majority of Englishmen would prevent the sacrifice a its mercantile marine, which has done more in developing the prosperity of Great Britain, and defending its shores, than a ll o th er interests put together. We believe it is intended to invite the shipowners, of the United Kingdom to another aggregate meeting in London during the present month, when it is to be hoped some progress will be made in obtaining a remedy for the present ruinous condition of the interest. The preparations for an ex pedition to China have created a demand for tonnage on the part of the English and French Governments, the operations of the latter being at present the most im portant. It if supposed that the French Government requires about 40,000 tons of coal in China, Singapore, &e., and the Consuls at Liverpool, Cardiff, and Newcastle have been enga g ed during last month in taking up tonnage, which they have obtained to a considerable amount, the rates paid being -75 francs Hong Kona.., 80 francs Woosung or Shanghae, 63 francs Singapore, &c. For English account engage ments have been made at the rates still current, say 60s. Hong Bong, 655. Shanghae, &c. The English Govern ment_have taken up the steamers Powerful and Thunder, arid the sailing ships Sarah M. and Childwickburgh as hospital ships, on the usual conditions of charter as trans ports ; the former for four and the latter for six months certain. The rates hrve not transpired ; but for the sailing vessels it is supposed that the price obtained is about I ls. 6d. per *egister ton per month for the service ending in England, or 13s. 6d. if terminated in China or India. .Jn freights generally there is not much varia tion; depression continues to mark every trade, outward freights being alone firm, owing to the almost certainty of little or nothing home. THE DAY'S NEWS. The screw steam ship City of Washington, it will be seen from our telegraphic despatches, ar rived last night at Queenstown, where she landed a portion of her passengers and mails, and proceeded. An abstract of her news will be found in our latest intelligence. Her Majesty's Government would appear in earnest about the Chinese expedition. They are providing supplies of coal for the steamers that are to be employed in the Chinese waters. No time, however, must be lost in despatching the expedition ; for, as the Times very truly ob serves, "if we are at the landing by March, we can do the work well in one year ; but if we are later than April, we are almost certain to take two years about the business, and to double our risks and expenses." There is an idea entertained, it would seem, that the expedition is to be post poned in order to secure French co-operation. But this were most undesirable, on two accounts —first, because the delay may have the effect of defeating our purpose ; and,- next, because - French alliance for such an object is likely to re sult in no good to our Eastern interests. France has its own ends to serve, and those ends must, too often, be at valiance with ours. In China and in India, it is evident that they- are likely to be so. We have an account of the Brazilian mail, by telegraph from Lisbon, but there is no political news of importance. The mail steam-ship brings drafts on London, it appears, to considerably up wards of half a million sterling. It seems to be understood on the Continent. whatever may be the case in England, that we are to send a representative to the approaching Congress on the Italian question, without making any condition. If this be true, a great change must have come over the spirit of her Majesty's Ministry. There is no doubt that the Govern ment has been urgently requested, not only by the Emperor of the French, but by the King of Sardinia, to take part in the Con gress unconditionally,—although by Sardinia, we believe, in order that the unfortunate Italians might have a friend and defender there. We cannot believe, however, that either Lord Palmerston or Lord John Russell hos yielded a compliance with any such request, without stipulating, as they have professed to do, for Italian independence. The French Emperor, by his recent conduct respecting the national interests of Italy, has excited great animosity at Florence, and other Italian citieel, the head-quarters of the Italian party; and great efforts, it is said, are now being made to iiieduce the King of Sardinia to accept at once the annexation of Tuscany, Modena, and Parma, and to have nothing to do with the Con gress, as it is proposed to [be managed by France and Austria. The Universities of . Oxford and Cambridge, in a most praiseworthy spirit, are uniting in a mission to Central Africa, to follow up the dis coveries of Dr. Livingstone ; and, in pursuance of this object, one of the most crowded meetings remembered in Cambridge for several years past, was held the day before yesterday in the Senate house, at which Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Walpole, the Bishop of Oxford, Sir George Grey, ex-Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, and other eminent public men, spoke eloquently in its support. The meeting resolved to adopt the general principle that had been laid down for the conduct of the mission, and pledged itself to strenuous exertions for supplying the necessary funds. THE appearance of two of the distinguished guests at our late Conservative Banquet, before such an audience as that which they addressed on Tuesday night at Manchester, certainly affords ' striking evidence of the interest which Conserva tive statesmen take in the well-being of the work ing classes. It was not to talk politics to them that Mr. DISRAELI and Lord STANLEY Went amongst the Lancashire operatives on this oc casion,—it was not to obtain their plaudits by flattery or cajolery, or by any of those popular plausibilities which the Liberals know so well how to use, for the purpose of getting the people on their side,—it was not by making them vain with the idea, that they, and they alone, of all the people of this great country, are the source of power, and that therefore they ought to be placed in a position to exercise that power, and become paramount in the State. No—it was for none of these unworthy, these most mischievous purposes, that the two eminent Conservatives went to Manchester, and met face to face so many of the honest industrious classes of that great manufacturing emporium. It was to encourage and support the Association of Lancashire and Cheshire Mechanics' Institutes,—establishments designed to impart useful knowledge to those classes,—to improve their minds, and thereby to exalt their nature, and fit them all the more for such adNltncements in social position, as by the opportunities of future life may at any time be presented to them. In distributing the prizes of the Association, which Mr. DISRAELI was invited to do, the right honourable gentleman not only declared, but throughout his address repeatedly evinced, the deep interest he took in what is called popular education. But, as the Manchester Guar dian well observes,—" What he appeared most " anxious to inculcate upon his audience was "that, despite all her faults, and notwithstanding " the fervid declamation of Mr. BRIGHT to the " contrary, in no country in the world has a man " of intelligence and enalgy a better chance of " pushing his way upwards than in England, " Himself one of the most splendid illustrations " of the truth of this proposition, he dwelt upon " the theme with a half-tender, half-exulting " earnestness, and urged upon his young fellow " countrymen the necessity of preparing for any " opportunity of advancing themselves in life " which Providence might cast in ,their way." Here, then, we have a remarkable, yet very na tural illustration of that Conservatism, whose cause we have just been celebrating here, in its practical application to the case of the working, classes. The Liberals pretend that this Conserva tism is hostile to the interests of those classes, — that it cares nothing about their improvement, or their welfare in any wise,—that, so far from seeking to advance them, it would do all that it could to depress them. Yet we see what an irresistible refutation is here given of such party calumnies. Not less earnest in the cause of popular educa tion and improvement was Lord STANLEY, who avowed his unabated interest in that cause, in the manufacturing districts more especially : emphati cally declaring, that although it might have many more eloquent advocates, he could assure them that within this county it had no more cordial or more constant friend. Thus again we have most incontrovertible evidence of the claims which Conservatism has to the support of the people at large, even the humblest of them—of its right to popular favour and popular prevalence. With out, indeed, it can prefer such claim, and sub stantiate such right, its success as a great national influence can never be promoted. As Lord DERBY well observed, the fate of that party, whose bond of union is this Conservatism—the fate of the Conservative party itself—the fate of this country—because, as the noble earl so solemnly assured us, " the fate of this country is " involved in the power and the prosperity of that " party,"—that fate, we say, is in the hands of the people themselves. Unless we can have Con servatism popular, in the best sense of the word, it can never prevail to any national and beneficial purpose. A consummation so devoutly to be wished as this, must be brought about, let us rest assured, by our own conduct, our own efforts ' our own example, as Conservatives. All who call themselves such must rally together for a united action, putting forth all their energies, and once for all shaking off that apathy which hitherto has so much impeded the progress and impaired the popularity of Conservatism. We must set forth its true principles, in their true light, and convince the great body of th e people, that they are principles, in the triumph of which their own b es t intersts are deeply involved. Of course , to make such prin ciples duly . co nducive to the public good, they must be made to p ervade alike the Govern merit and the Parliament of the country. A s Lord DERBY furt h er to l d the Conservatives of Liverpool—and as it intimately concerns the public weal that the whole Conservative body of NOVEMBER 3, 1859 England should be told—what they have to do is, to determine that Parliament shall sustain a Ministry to give legislative and executive effect to Conservatism. "It is," as the noble Lord so forcibly declared to them,— ,, it is by your own "endeavours, and by your own exertions to " render that possible which, without those exer " tions and without those endeavours, will be " wholly hopeless, namely, the permanence of " Conservative principles in the Government of " this country." This, then, is what the Conser vatives of England have now to do. They must, as a body, make those exertions and use. those endeavours, and do so to some practiea-r to some popular purpose. Liverpool has, in one respect, set them a good example : let us hope that it will have the effect of infusing new li fe into the party at large. haa IT is curious to see the uncertainty and t& derment, with which public writers are at this moment pursuing their investigations into tile position of Conservatism and the Consero tice party. Saturday's Banquet has set them all arg" Even their usual acuteness of reasoning, e` Is their usual strength of declamation, have deserte:ll them. Judging from the perplexities with some are distracted on the one side, or from C°ll - which some, fairly in desperation, h ave been driven to make on the other, we might 511 r, pose either that the whole politics of the coun try were in inextricable confusion, or else that a s ill ; gular unanimity of sentiment was preparing fob measures of universal benefit. Some say t ill ' there are such things as Conservative princil 3l6 " but that there is only one party—that which c wl- 0 itself Liberal. Others tell us that C o nserot ic principles have died out, but that the party ao not ; that it was never more active or more ho ful. And still there are others who declare 0-1 0 infinite seriousness, and an air o f i n tuit that while it was right to raise he sce f and earth for the overthrow of Lord Pf' l/ % last session, because Conservatism is the g. reli til obstructive to useful emendations, yet that 13° sides of the House, are pretty equally Conser cf ; tive and pretty equally progressive! It of complained that Mr. DISRAELI reduced Pre se t J. political rivalries to nothing but a Per s°ll . oo question. It is asserted again, that the que sti . between the two parties is nothing but per s°ll ls/ It is said that the necessity which impera ti t called for the Earl of DERBY'S diSplaceln en , Lora PALMERSTON, was the necessity of CO rilE o rc f hensive reform.

Vje go*rn Mmes THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1859. than LOrd•PALMERSTON Now, which of these three representat lL 0 I' 4 the true one ? Which of our keen-eyed jog eor has hit upon the logical, or, psychological, or ll' , 00 , physical " universal reason" of this Pe r P le .V es ; mystery ? Is there a Conservative P'rtY?aeSO for there are among our criti cs w ho c°ll,,„ its much, and are moreover visibly moved bY imposing front. Besides, this is a q uesti t c l; something like the question of motion,- 011.1 - ee ambulando,—to know whether a numb er of ramt constitute a party, it is enough to see t they have consciously and voluntarily COO bined together. The " Three Hundr ed the House, the six hundred hosts and Plc at the Conservative Banquet, have not to Pr r o that there is a party ; but are it. It is 11° o f matter of syllogism and explanation s, bot A , actual sight and experience. Are there Co 7, votive principles ? Yes. For the best infertitro of Lord DERBY'S adversaries deprecate his r e 00 0 to power, for the very reason that, whi t but Conservative principles can challeng e foi favour, Lord PALMERSTON is as good 14° tviA fivean in dangerous i s n t g r so a e, nr t t e o oh, r ua t o of themendo as himself.
