The English funds showed a little flatness at the commencement of business this morning, but have closed at the quotations of yesterday. The bills due on the 4th being payable to-day, the demand for money has been active, and at the Baiik applications were compara tively nurnerous.—Times: The funds to-day were inactive but steady, deriving support from the continued rise at Paris. Prices were quoted. almost exactly the same as yesterday afternoon. In the share markets great steadiness likewise prevailed, but the recent activity has subsided. The numerous bills maturing on the 4th (Sunday), being met to-day, there was an active demand for money, but no pressure : the best bills were taken at 2* per cent. At the Bank, business was brisker than is usual on a Saturday. To-day's engagements appear to have been unusually well met. The sum of £5,000, in bar gold, was taken from the Bank to-day for the Continent, and the £24;000 by the City of Baltimore was purchased for the same purpose. The specie arrivals of the week represent an aggregate of about £424,000: none is retained here.—Daily News. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—DEc. 5.

Market rather quiet, faruaring buyers e• FRANCE AND MOROCCO.—The Pays contains the fol lowing paragraph on the Tetuan affair :—A private letter received in Paris confirms our first intelligence relative to the affair of Tetuan. Mohammed ben Katil, the Emperor of Morocco's Minister for Foreign Affairs re siding at Tangiers, has in the most complete manner blamed the commandant of the forts of the Tetuan_ River, and given the most peremptory orders that no such mistake as that made in the case of Louis. shall occur again. We fancy that, in the state, in Which our artillery has left them, the Tetuan forts will not be formidable for some time to come ; let us now have the pleasure to state that everybody extols the firm and resolute conduct of Admiral Romain Desfosses, Who tp t j a eo k rns i so n ci without askin g or wa iti ng f or any in s t ruc ti ons, an counselt persuaded e that French he onlyG wouldov of e r n his alwaysme Government honour, trespondby o t to causing theh s d h fli i an m gf s o e nt 0- f g a o d f e be respected, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1859 THE DAY'S NEWS. It will be observed that, according to the latest intelligence, the Cabinet has determined that Lord Palmerston shall not attend the approach ing Congress as the Plenipotentiary of England, and that no Plenipotentiary shall be despatched to Paris. In this event Lord Cowley, it is ex pected, will attend the meetings of Congress as a representative of this country, merely out of courtesy to the other Powers, so that, sub stantially, Italian affairs will be left to be settled by those Powers which may be said to be more immediately concerned in those ques tions. It appears that this conclusion has been arrived at by the Cabinet after a full discussion of the subject. This is scarcely to be regretted, considering that no one desirous . of preserving the peace of Europe could wish to see the noble Premier take a direct part in the proceed ings of the Congress, the peaceful conclusion of which must so largely depend upon the exercise of greater forbearance and calmness of delibera tion than Lord Palmerston is known to possess ; while again it could not be expected that Lord J. Russell would secure the confidence of any one, after his notorious failure as our Plenipotentiary at Vienna. Perhaps the best selection that the pre sent Ministry could have made to maintain the honour and prestige of England at Paris, would have been a nobleman who has on many occasions shown himself so skilful and fortunate _ as a diplomatist,--and that nobleman is Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, who, for so long a period, under peculiar and difficult circumstances, pre served for England that influence in Europe which is so essential to our supremacy, amidst a Court singularly full of intrigue and political chicanery, while our Ambassador to the Sultan. But, under the circumstances, it is better, per haps, in his absence, that the present represent a tive of the Crown in Paris should have committed to his trust this question of Italian independence, so beset as it is with very Intricate complications. It is stated in circles the most likely to be informed upon such topics, that the expedition prepared by our allies across the Channel will be one of the most complete and carefully arranged which has ever left the shores of France. We trust, therefore, that the alacrity and goodwill with which this expedition has been formed may indeed be an earnest of a more friendly and abiding feeling towards us springing up amongst our Gallican neighbours. In Morocco, the Crescent and the Cross have, once again in the history of the world, come into conflict, and the enthusiasm of each has been stimulated by a reference to historical associations. Either army has been inspired by priestly appeals to religious prejudices ; hence the war, like all religious ones, is likely to be sanguinary and protracted. By the recent arrival from Americti, we learn that con4iderable excitement has been aroused since the recent attempt at Harper's Ferry, in conse quence of an expected incursion upon Virginia. It is apprehended that the intention of the band, who have formed themselves into a corps to avenge the failure of the late insurrection headed by Brown, is to seize upon some of the most re spectable and wealthy inhabitants as hostages against the execution of the law upon this mis guided, and, at present, doomed convict. It appears to be the intention of this armed and violent interference to arrest Brown's execution, as its authors threaten that if the sentence of the law should be carried into effect upon him, a like retaliation shall be inflicted upon such per sons of consequence as they may have seized. It appears, therefore, that the question of slavery which has been long looked forward to as likely to divide the United States, may probably effect this result much sooner than was anticipated—as eventually it doubtless will do. It is a painful piece of intelligence which we announced yesterday,—the loss of another steamer belonging to this port,—the Indian, one of the finest of a line of steamers which weekly sail from hence to North America. But whilst we, with deep regret, recal this melancholy catastrophe, yet still from the accounts which we have re ceived, it is gratifying to learn that it has not been attended with that immense loss of life . which accompanied the disastrous and mournful wreck of the Royal Charter. The monthly meeting of the Chamber of Cora- merce was held yesterday, the chair being occu pied by Mr. Charles Robertson, the president. , The proceedings were interesting. Several matters of great local importance were brought under the notice of the meeting; among which may be mentioned the new scale of town dues, and the proposal for removing 'the Post-office to Dale street. . . _._Frora_the_rep.ort, which we-publish .in.another column, of the proceedings at the meeting of the Water Committee, held yesterday, it will be seen that the intimation we gave on Saturday as to the formation of a Volunteer Corps from among the men employed by the Health and the Water Committees, was well founded, and by no means premature. At the Water Committee's meeting, yesterday, a joint report from Mr. Newlands, the borough engineer, and Mr. Duncan, the water engineer, was read. From this - document, which will be read with much interest, it appears that four companies of one hundred men each' can be easily formed of the men referred to, that number having already sent in their .names as being . desirous fUr enrolment. The cost for the equip ment of these companies is estimated at about £1,400. The report states that the men are already familiar with all the operations required by military, engineer, and sapper and miner corps ; and the men pledge themselves that their being enrolled as volunteers, and attending to the necessary drills, will not in any way interfere with the discharge of their ordinary duties. IF we are indeed to interfere in the coming Con gress, we are not sure whether the unsystematic mode at present talked of as likely, is not the most suitable in which we can do so. That our part in its deliberations should be restricted to the mere presence of the ordinary channel of communication between the two Governments, who shall on this occasion be the medium of con veying the sentiments of England 'and the advice of her Ministers, is, we think agreeable to the nature of a Congress where England cannot make anything a cause of war, and where, if she is to do anything decisive it can only be at French dictation. At the coming Congress England can• only act the part of a bystander whose position is a guarantee of impartiality; and who being unable or unwilling to enforce his recommendations on any one of the parties im mediately concerned, has for, that reason, claims on the favourable attention of all. England does not go into this Congress in the position of one whose consent is considered necessary to the rati fication of treaties, or to the maintenance of peace. Her character will be merely that of an expe rienced adviser whose words have a moral weight, but independent of whose will, grave events have been brought about in the first instance, and can be as independently brought to a settlement in the last. The more informally, therefore, she is represented at the Congress where she an only advise, the more agreeable to the character in which she offers advice, and to that undecided state of English opinion which has become almost a national habit on this subject. It seems an obvious view to take, that if we have held aloof from a war, we should also hold aloof from the settlement, unless as mediators on the solicitation of those who were parties to it. We could scarcely have claimed a right to interfere in a Congress ; we must take care when we are invited to do so, that we suffer no loss of dignity in being _thought to accept a favour or a condescension. It is certainly matter of question, what character we should be voluntarily taking upon ourselves, in formally assisting to establish that which in spite of us—we might say in de fiance of us—was unsettled. We know not what jurists would say, but we are almost inclined to think, that as we played a chief part in the set tlement of Europe after the great war, no nation, without very peculiar and special justification, should have ventured to disturb it without our countenance and consent. There were, doubtless, very weighty reasons for wishing some conditions of that settlement altered. at the eve of the last Italian campaign. But the question is, was there a justification for France—in no sense more a party to the settle ment than ourselves—wilfully and independently originating a policy which was a conscious violation of treaties to which other and powerful nations were distinctly and specially pledged ? Louts NAPOLEON took upon himself to violate the settlement of 1815 by his single authority and will, not on the plea that Austria was acting inconsistently with its arrangements, but that it was an unfavourable one to one of the parties on whom it was imposed ; that it did not agree with his notion of " his epoch ;" that it was inconsistent with an " idea" elaborated by that supersensual mind of France of which he claimed to be the mouthpiece. But even if the original cause of war had been a distinct com plaint against Austria of treaty-violation, none of the parties had a right to take independent action for redress, without a positive appeal to its fellows for co-operation on that ground, and after its positive refusal. We need not take pains at this close of 1859 to specify the actual condi tions of that history which commenced on the first day of its first month. It is not necessary to mention that France engaged consciously and intentionally in an Austrian war, for the purpose of violently altering the arrangement of 1815, and wresting from Austria those provinces which the negotiators of that period, whether rightly or wrongly, gave her, and which she had as much right to in 1859, as she had then. Whatever, therefore, are the motives of Louts NAPOLEON, or whatever are the consequences likely to flow from the war which he provoked, there can be no mistake that he took a wholly independent part, and treated as a matter of in • difference the settlement of Europe, and the parties who had concocted it. There is as little doubt that he will aim at filling a• similarly wilful and autocratic part at the Congress ; and as holding at as little account the wishes and remonstrances of England. What sentiments are to prevail in the formation of the new settlement, it would puzzle any spectator—it would puz zle the vauntedly astute mind of the Fren ch Em p eror himself to predict. It is clear t hat events—let us he supremacy already, ratherin t he say late theea campaign, providencepaign, asserted o fO D--av their over the haughty intentions of Louts NAPOLEON. He is still their slave. But we very much question whether England is in a position to mould them in such a manner as to rule to the best ends that im- DECEMBER, 6, 1859 perious mind. We are; not wishful to risk a cause of war on this question; it would_ be useless and for all parties in the present disPut 4 to do so. But unless we are prepared t° anticipate such eventuality, how can we have any pretension to dictate our opinions t° one who last year despised opinion and dive' garded remonstrance ? •In short, to use a familiar phrase, we can only " play second fiddle" in this dispute. It is better for us to accept this position at once ; professing nothing more than to give that advice which experience has a claim to do. But let us not employ a formal Plenipotentiary' or send our Prime Minister, to play so humble and subordinate a tune. AMONG the most useful and important education al movements of the day is the establishment of Ragged Schools and Reformatories for juvenile criminals. Notwithstanding that of late yea rs considerable attention has been paid to thes e subjects, especially to the question_ of popul ar instruction and elementary knowledge an d that large grants of money have been vote d for such purposes, there remains still much to be done. Our population is becoming more and we re every year a town one. From the great increas e in manufacturing employment there is congre' gated together not only a numerous but also 6 shifting and migratory class. The habits whic h such an unsettled life induce, are far from desir able, and provoke tendencies to vagrancy an d crime. Dr. HUME, in the evidence which b e gave before the Committee of the House o f Lords (collected from Mr. H. MANN'S statistics)' states that 25 per cent. of our urb° population is growing up in absolute heathenism. Lord SHAFTESBURY has declared that in the Metropolis there are ten thousand children of each sex, who lie about the streets a ll night afraid to return to the home from which they have been sent forth in the morning to Coale back in the evening only- if successful in obtain' ing a certain amount of money by mendicancy 01 theft. It was not inaptly that Lord STANLEY' in a speech recently delivered at Manchester, described that class, thus, as it were, educated to crime and vagrancy, as- being as much a caste 55l generis as the aristocracy itself. It appears that in Manchester, out of fourteen hundred and nine children, *" there have bee' " produced five hundred and thirty-three steadl " working lads, men and women, maintaining "themselves in situations by their own labou r. This has been the result in that city of t he establishment of Ragged Schools,—one not s ° completely satisfactory to the teachers as col l d 0. be wished for; but, at any rate, it is gratify laa to know that more than five hundred he ° criminals—for so, indeed, we may style theta. —have been snatched by such agency from a y outh and don arc e c wit e h r soufeshicaeclaasnds of persons, isi N i ir ot hat t° be . to attempt to give them a high intellectual training, b u t to train them physically and morally to fulfi l the duties which belong to the child of an honest and well-conducted labourer ; and most especially t° extinguish those propensities to rove about, a Ol those restless and unsatisfied habits which iii' variably attach themselves to children who h ave been irregularly brought up.
