MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Friday Evening. The market for Cotton to-day though dull was steady, the sales reported reaching 7,000 bales, of which 1,500 were for export or taken on spe culation. Conceming the business of the week Messrs. George Holt and Co., in their weekly circular, say The Cotton Market continues piet, but in the absence o f arrivals, pri ces f or the " middling" and general useful qualities of Orleans and Mobile are steadily supported. Millling" Uplands are more abundant, and are 1-16 d. per lb. lower; the "fair" quality of this.descriPttiell . is scarce, and cannot be purchased at the authorised quotation. Common and dusty Cotton continues very unsaleable. We now quote " middling" Up lands, 6 13 - ; Mobile, 7d. ; and Orleans, 71d. The committee of brokers place " fair" ITplaxids, 7hd, ; "Mobile,'7d. ;' and Orleans, 74d. Surats are rather lower--about id. per lb. during the last fort night. Erazils also show a slight giving way, more particularly Maceios. Egyptian Cotton is without change, a fair amount of business having been transacted, atprevious rates. Sea'lsland Cotton has also been in pretty good demand, but the inquiry is freely supplied, and prices remain without change. The comparatively quiet stateof our market; and the cautious manner in vihich parties make their purchases, is mainly to be accounted for by the large quantity of Cotton now at sea, and the expectation that as this arrives and is brought upon the market, the desire to realise immediately will give buyers a further advantage, as well in choice as in price ; on "the other hand, there is no doubt that the stock of Cotton with consumers is very light, and while many parties have large orders and contracts on hand, and are now only waiting . a. favourable opportunity to cover them. 2,430 American, 770 Surat, and 240 Egyptian, are reported 'to have been taken on speculation ; 1,090 American, 7,650 Surat, and 20 Egyptian, for export ; so that the deliveriei to the trade for the week have been about 39,300 bales. In the Liverpool Railway Share Market, an improved feeling has been manifested throughout the week; and a better buSiness was done, chiefly in consequence of the improved aspect of foreign political affairs. To-day the tone was firm. The business done included sales of Eastern Counties, at 11 5-16 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 09i; Lan caster and Carlisle, 200 ; London and North- Western, 97 7 ,1 -.1; 'Manchester, Sheffield, and -Lin -36,1 7 ; Midland, .1071 ; South Eastern, 24 9-16; North.

For Olive Oil the market has been steady. . • The market for Ships' Stores has been moderate. The sales of Beef during the week were on an increased scale. Holders, however, were ready sellers, and. for all but really fine qualities lower rates were accepted. In Pork little business was done, but prices were supported. Cheese was ready of sale at full prices, and stocks have not accumulated. LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.. Friday Evening.

Our market has assumed a snecial phase since my last, as indicated under the bead's of Pig Iron, Copper, and Tin. In other departments there is not much scope for comment, as manufactured Iron is very quiet, and the turn rather in favour of the buyer, Welsh Bars being easier. It is gratifying to those connected with the trade to find that fresh applications of Iron are being constantly made, and as an instance, the using of hoops in the American shipping ports, to bind cotton bales may be mentioned, and if successfully adopted this branch of our native industry ought to receive a good stimulus. During the Crimean war there was, and since there has been a considerable demand , for this description of Iron for packing hay, for commissariat purposes, for both our own and the French Governments. In Scotch Pig Iron the fluctuations have been conside rable, the price for Mixed Nos. Warrants f.o.b. in the Clyde receded from 535. 6d. per ton cash, as last quoted, to 525. 74-d. per ton, which was accepted ix Glasgow on Tuesday. On the report 30th ultimo, that invitations had been issued to the European Powers to attend the general Congress convoked for the sth January next, and that the questions: for discussion would be limited to those arising from the Italian difficulty, a reaction set in, and 535. 6d. cash was paid on Wednesday, 545. cash yes terday, 545. 6d. five weeks, and 555. three mos. open, to day closing buyers at these rates. The shipments thence this week are 9,828 tons, against 10,449 tons same pe riod last year, yet they are a little more than one-half of what they were in 1857, there being a great falling off to Prussia, Holland, and France, but an increase to the United States, thereby showing that the upward movement is entirely attributable to a speculative feeling. Copper was advanced on the 26th ultimo id. per lb. on manufactured, and £4 10s. per ton on unma nufactureAl, making prices as undernoted, and quotations for aheathing same as 11th January last (cake and ingot 10s. per ton less), when an advance of id. per lb. was. declared ; the same was taken off 10th May, and , a further reduction of id. per lb. made Ist July; on. the 14th idem, a better demand having sprung up mean while, this was re-imposed, and pnces remained steak). , 7 during the four following months. The exports, ho ever, of Copper and Brass for October last, ult.? j it a decrease of £45,143, as compared with, tho same month of 1858 ; but the home consurapf ,„ to compensate for this, has been very goods Refined Tin was advanced yesterday £4 per ton, and Com mon Block and Ingot £3 per ton, whi eh ought to improve the price of Tin Plates.

Our refiners and dealers have also been operating largely in, the English _markets. on the spot, as well as to arrive,' in cargoes of Manila, Havana, Cubic - Muscovado, - - Porto Rica, and Paraiba. - The total , : operations for the monthiii ou.r.own, as well as in other markets, on Clyde , account, so far as they have trans pired, map be estimated at 8,500 tons. The markk'hai closed with a quiet.but confident tone. The consump tion continues to progress in the same ratio, showing an increase, as compared with the corresponding period of last year of 10,05 tons. By the above table the stock is rela tively largerby 1,856 tons, but Some recent arrivals not yet included in the Customs Official Statement, and about 400 tons, duty paid, still in first hands, will augment the difference by 1,000 tons. In the United" Kingdom the estimated differential stock is larger by 20 000 tons. The transactions in Molasses exhaust the 'whole stock in first hands, being 200 puns. Trinidad, early in the month at 16s. 3d., and 700' puns. prime Trinidad, for which the extreme price of 17s. was paid, for shipment to Liverpool. The whole stock in bond will thus be reduced to less than a fourth of that of last year. There have been only seventy-two tons with drawn for distillation. Refiried goods have not partici pated proportionally in the improvement in the raw market. Towards the middle of the month, the demand was rather languid, and easier prices were submited to, but with some slight variatiors for the better ; a large business has been done latterly. No change on the rates ruling . at the close of last month can be quoted. Loaves have met a good sale, but without any change worthy of 'notice. A more active inquiry has sprung up for Treacle, at about 14s. to 14s. 3d., and Syrup now commands about is. to ls. 6d. advance. Rum hai remained without alteration in value, and the transactions coinprise about 60 puns.

THIS well-established Daily Paper,—the first that was attempted in the Provinees,—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 recent 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 a'nd degrees of men within this realm their due weight, authority, and preponder ance,--ef that Conservatism which loves the interests of the people at large halt will not be led away by the noisy dentincid tiOns of blustering demagogues, either to shrink at the voice of zikinace,_or,limidlyto make concessions to large bodies of men for the purpoSe ofiaining alempoiary poPularitY; When' in our hearts we believe the concession of those coveted boons would be_the worst injury we could inflict' 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. nere a moment when a temperate andjudicious application of the Daily Press to the espoesal of its cause, and the dissemination of its principles, was capable of serving more beneficial purposes. • !Hitherto, the Daily Papers of Liverpool have, one and all, been exclusively in the so-called Liberal, that isy the Whig. and liadical, -- interest. • The Conservative cause- has now- gotits. representative, and its advocate; in the local Daily Press. It rests with the Conseriative party of Liverpool to decide with what efficiency this their Daily organ of the= Press shall 'be ' maintained. 'lts success. has so far been considerable,— , the eirculationalready secured is larie 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 wilt only sup port it with their advertisements, and. use their active influence to make it d profitable advertising medium, its prosperity, and therefore its influence, will soon be powerfully strengthened and confirmed. The late Derby Banquet cannot but lava aroused the Con servatives of Liverpool to - a more active course of public duty and the obligation, in times like the present, to sustain a Daily Paper in their important interest, cannot fail to be acknow ledged, and ought therefore to be acted upon• Office for subscription...a advertisements, 13, SOUTH'JOITN STREET, EOTTIor ur Cable Street. isditorial and Printing Offices, 40, ',mon STREET, Parker Street.

THE DAY'S NEWS. The President of the Provisional Ministry at Florence has gone to. Turin, at the call of the King of Sardinia, in order-, it is understood, to make the necessary arrangements regarding the regency. This regency, however objectionable it may be to. the French Emperor and. others, is now to be organised and carried into effect, as though it were intended to be permanent. And yet it is a part of the general question, one would suppose, with which the Congress will have to deal, and by whom it 'will not improbably be set aside. Possession, however, is nine points of the law ; and the definitive arrangements which are now in progress may, perhaps, be intended to test that principle. France is evidently in jeopardy of becoming entangled in the Spanish war with Morocco. Some of her ships having been cannonaded—or alleged. to have been—by the forts at the entrance of the river Tetuan, the Admiral on the station proceeded. with four steamers to destroy the forts which he succeeded in doing ; and the Moors, of course, abandoned them. He has since gone to Tangiers, to remonstrate, promising that should justice be oktained, he will E resume the part of neutral i ty. -,iniro!) mr:J ai gl'3 1.11171:i 4T , LI 0 Nothing certain appears yet' to be known as to the appointment of the plenipotentiaries for England at the approaching Congress. It is still urged by the leading journal, that Lord Palmer ston should go himself, since his weight in Europe is far greater than that of any other statesman, and that, as well as being an adequate represen tative of British feeling upon the subject, he would be so capable of defending the propositions of his Government, as ;to stand a good chance of persuading the other great Powers to accept It is argued, however, on the ot her hand, that the Premier and his Foreign S ecretary, although they remain in London, will be able , by m eans of the electric telegraph , to communicateconsttahnetml and y t a expeditiously s b i d e rived by their being personally I present at t he Congress. it is still su pp osed t h a t o and thereby l e er eb y with have much of the advantage their plenipotentiaries in Par_ Lord Cowley will be instructed to act, and that some other diplomatist will be appointed to assist him. The Times appears to be perfectly satisfied with the final disposal of Dr. Smethurst, the result of whose trial for bigamy we' published yesterday "After occupying for months together," it is observed, " a position of unexampled notoriety after having been twice - tried, twice convicted, and once pardoned,—he retires at last from publi c , view on a sentence of a year's imprisonment . It seems, however, that he might have escaped, even from such a comparatively insignifican t sentence as this ; for it was attempted to be shown in evidence, upon the trial, that the first marriage was no marriage at all' and, consequently, did not vitiate the second. And there was certainly a good deal to Bur port this defence—to throw doubt upon th e lawfulness of the prisoner's marriage in the first instance. However, there is now an end of the whole matter in dispute. He has been tried- and found guilty of bigamy,—for that crime alon e was he tried on this occasion, and for that alone is he now punished. "No other matter," says th e leading journal, " could be taken into considers ( tion, and if the same impartiality is adopted by' the public it will probably be thought that the requirements of justice have been fairly satisfied by the verdict and the sentence now recorded." We have much pleasure in directing attention to the report, given in another column; of a Mee t? inglield last night, in the school-room of Chrie_V- - Church, Christian-street, for the purpose of ev pressing- the sympathy of his congregation wit h the Rev. Jr. W. Twist, incumbent of Christ Church. The chair was appropriately ec" cupied - by the Churchwarden;-a proper medino of communication in such circumstance!, between pastor and people. The meeting was numerously attended, and all present evineed an earnest desire to express- their affection for and their sympathy with thei r esteemed pastel-. An address, embodying- thos e sentiments, and expressive of their attachment t o the reverend gentleman, was presented to Mr" Twiss. Besides the address there was also pre sented to him a purse of money, intended to indi' cate the belief of the donors, in the inade quacy pf the stipend by which the- valuable ser vices of their beloved pastor were considered to ber but were not, remunerated. As a further mar k of the general , affection and esteem in whic h Mr. Twigs is held, it may not be impropa to alhide to the fact that the fine band of the First Volunteer Rifles attended of their own accord, and, by their musical performances, adde d much to the gratification of those prqsent. Such manifestations of gratitude, for the inestimab le services rendered. by a clergyman to his flock, ar e at once pleasing and improving. The reply by the reverend gentleman to the address was full of right feeling, and b rea th e d th e true spirit o f one anxious and earnest in the discharge of ILL 4 duty. The popular proceeding of the day is still the volunteer movement. Every locality in this neighbourhood ,has resolved on—if it- does net already possess a volunteer corps of some arnr -- the rifle having been first started has had, and still continues to have, the prestige which belong s to those earliest- in the field. Now, however, Nc e begin to organise extensive and potent artillerf corps. La.st' night our neighbours at Wall e y • resolved, in addition to their already orgar ueed rifle corps, to form an artillery company. Sapp ers and,Miners, it appears, we are to have in eV . ' ient force, by the patriotic exertions of the employes of the Health and Water Committees, a nd e el ": arm of the service seems provided for in 13 % neighbourhood, except one. N o s t e p has l e , been taken of a practical character for secur ill ; us a cavalry contingent. S evera l corres ponde nt have advocated in our columns the propriety; forming such a body of volunteers. All con e A in the utility for having such a contingent , a n d we cannot doubt that the desideratum w be ill speedily: supplied. NEVER, perhaps, was the well-known apoPht he f: of Mrs. MALAPROP, that " comparisons are '"..,..° ous," more signally illustrated, than at - " great" Financial Reform demonstration $1 Thursday night. So , odorous was the coraPar iscill with that to which it was intended to be a coax, teraction—we mean the great Derby Bane et ' b . c, that its unhappy fragrance not only Ai led h t- g t spacioui hall ::here the meeting took place, '- t i diffused raal itself throughout our whole cow the trumpet that loudly was ill i and Everybody seemed to be affected by it.
