The following appeared in a part of our impression- of yesterday : MONEY MARKET, &c. The English funds have showed increased firmness to-day, and in all the markets there has been a more than ordinary degree of animation. In the foreign stock market there has been a rise in several descrip tions, especially Spanish and Venezuelan.- The prin cipal advance, however, was in Turkish 6 per cents. The railway market has shown increased buoyancy, and nearly all the leading British stocks closed at a frac tional advance. She,ffields and Caledonians improved nearly 1 per cent.—Times. The tendency to improvement shown lately by the funds seems to have been stimulated to-day by the publication of the answer of the Emperor Napoleon to the letter from the four Liverpool _merchants. A fresh advance of a per cent. took place, at which the market closed with a steady appearance. The continued rise' on the Paris Bourse assists to inspire confidence. Share markets were likewise stronger. The numerous bills maturing on the 4th having been met, and met remark ' ably well, the discount market to-day was rather quiet. Best bills were ready taken at 21 per cent. There were no transactions in _bullion at the Bank.—Daily News. NEXT WEEK On account of whom it may concern.

LIVERPOOL, Tuesday Evening. The Cotton Market to-day was quiet, so quiet indeed as almost to amount to dulness. The sales reported amounted to 4,000 bales, of which about 1,000 were for export or taken on speculation. Prices were not changed. In the Liverpool Railway Share Market prices generally, were well supported, with the excep tion of Dovers, which have slightly given'way. Business, however, was on a very limited scale. The business reported, included sales of Eastern Counties, at 114; Great Westerns, 66'4; Lanca shire and Yorkshire, 091 ; London and North- Western, 971, ; ditto, shares fl d ; Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 38, 71; South- Eastern, 241, 1,, 5-16, 5-16, i-; Dutch Rhenish, 41d. ; Chester and Holyhead (leased to,London and North-Western) 491.

The accounts received at Lloyd's yesterday, with re spect to the gale round the coast, were unsatisfactory, and it is feared that the losses, as on a recent occasion, will be considerable. The Daily Hews says that the fleet of the Iron Screw Collier Company, which has recently been sold, will be withdrawn from the Italian trade, and once more em ployed in the coal trade. The Times states that- the rate of exchange at St. Petersburg continues to show a tendency to recovery, although in opposition to the course of trade. 'I he Government are large sellers of bills on Paris and Lon don, in consequence of some financial arrangements lately entered into.

It appears from private information received from the Spanish camp in Africa, that the suc cesses of the Spanish army have not been so great as was at first stated ; but on the contrary that the Moors have proved themselves more for midable antagonists than was at first expected. There seems still to linger among them something of that martial ardour and fire which distin guished them under the command of Soliman the Magnificent. The Spanish army in its last encounter with them has lost 805 killed and wounded. The Moors appear to have fought with great courage, although they have suffered a greater numerical loss than their enemies. We hope that the Mexicans will be taught a lesson which will prevent them, upon any future occasion, attacking the property of British sub- jects. It appears by a despatch recently received here, that a most wanton and unwarrantable seizure was made of two English merchant ves sels by the brigand General Coronada. Her Majesty's ship the Amethyst immediately de manded the restoration of • the captured ships, which was as peremptorily refused ; upon which the boats of her Majesty's ship received orders to " cut the ships out of the harbour," and it is almost unnecessary to say they accomplished it with that promptitude and valour which ever characterise the operations of British Blue Jackets. In the attempt to d 9 this the citadel of San Bias opened fire upon them, which was returned with fearful vigour from the guns of the Amethyst. Certainly for this attempted piratage our: Foreign-office will require ample compensation. If the Irish have beeri disposed to listen to the suggestions of the Roman CathOlic party, viz., to enlist 10,000 volunteers, and subscribe a - sum of £lOO,OOO, to take the place of the " Swiss Guard " for the protection of the Pope and the : preservation of his power in the_Legatine States, it is of no small importance that the well affected portion of the Irish of the metropolis, or else where, should be encouraged in an oppdsite directidn—to enrol themselves in considera tion of the possible invasion of this coun try. In this light it is satisfactory to observe that the Marquis of Donegal, who presided at the meeting held in the Freemasons' Tavern, London, to effect such a purpose, announced that the Premier had enlisted himself in that Irish Volunteer Corps. The same noble lord observed, that half a century ago Lord Palmerston had joined a similar corps for a like purpose against the expected invasion by the uncle of the present Emperor of the French. . The signs of activity in the Church of England, which we have•from time to time taken occasion to notice, are, we are happy to say, still rife amongst us. The most gratifying feature of all is when the clergy are not more zealous in the defence of the Church's secular interest than in the enlargement of her spiritual inflttence. The other day, we had to report the l unanimous resolution of the archdeacons of England and Wales, with rare and trifling exceptions, in vindication of the principle of Church-rates. This, our readers of to-day's 'impression will perceive, has been followed up by a united expression of opinion to the like effect 'from the Episcopate of the same countries; and an invitation to the clergy and laity generally to more active and formal co operation. The London papers of yesterday have given considerable space to the re port of a meeting of clergy and laity in the East of London, which was the first of a series which Bishop Tait purposes to hold in the various rural-deaneries of his diocese. The main object of this gathering was to excite the laity - to. take a more defined part in the prosecution of those good works, and those special agencies, which can alone compensate for the deficiences of the parochial system. The bishop well observed how great is the debt of gratitude due from this generation to its early forefathers for the parochial system; and how . . perfect the ideal of that system is. It is the more incumbent upon 'them to supply those deficiences which the vast, increase in the popu lation of our towns has occasioned, and which are due to our degenerate laxity. We cannot but think that this move .in the metropolis presents an example to other dioceses and other bishops. The winter Assizes which have just been open.. ed in Yorksbire and Staffordshire—two of our most populous manufacturing localities—present a lamentable picture of the moral and social condi tion of the people. The sources of crime are yet ascribed by the judges to that unfortunate addit -Con to intoxicating drinks, the consumption of which, instead of bein g diminished, appears to spread wider and wider. Such constant and accumulated testimony, coming from persons so capable, by experience and maturity of reflection, of forming a correct opinion, -certainly does not hold out any advantage as likely to arise by relieving the lower classes from the taxes on such commodi ties, which, as it is, scarcely act as a drawback to indulgence in this vicious habit, leading so frequently, as it does, to poverty and crime. It would be no boon to such persons that the plausible recommendations of the Financial Reform Association, to substitute direct for indirect taxation, should be carried into effect, so that those poisons could be obtained at a cheaper rate. The Yinzes of yesterday passes some very stringent and satirical remarks upon the letter which has been addressed to the Emperor of the French by four merchants—one of whom we learn is a clerk in a general broker's office—of this town: The absurdity of such an appeal to the Emperor of the French, considering the very excited feelings of this country, is most apparent. Whatever may be the intentions of the Emperor with regard to any ultimate operations against England, it was highly improbable that he would reveal any of them to applicants in the position to which these gentlemen belong. The folly of such an expectation is only equalled by the mission which.was undertaken by the peace party to St . . Petersburgh previous to the out break of the Crimean war ; neither the one nor the other could be likely to influence the deter mination of the Czar of Russia or the Emperor of France. At the monthly meeting of the Birkenhead Commissioners, held yesterday, several matters of general as well as local interest were brought under consideration. Conspicuous—indeed, pre eminent—among these, was the suggestion so judiciously and tellingly thrown out Ity Mr . John Laird, the chairman of the beard, as to the eligibility of Wallasey Pool, and its immediate vicinity, for a national arsenal and dockyard. The principal points of advantage to be obtained from the adoption of this suggestion were so well brought out in the admirable letter of Mr. Laird, to which we some time ago gave currency, as to leave little or nothing to add to that masterly demonstration. A similar opinion appears to have prevailed at the Board yesterday, for the letter was recognised as a basis on which the commissioners ought to memorialise the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, soliciting their assistance, and also to re quest the aid of the parliamentary representatives of Cheshire, together with that of the Corporation of Liverpool, and all the other local interests. A resolution to this effect was, it will be seen by our report, adopted by the meeting. By the arrival of the Montreal Ocean Steam_ ship Company's steamer Hungarian, from Port land, we have intelligence from Montreal to the 26th ultimo, and from New York to the 25th, and by telegraph to the 26th. The general news by this arrival is not important. The report of the melancholy loss of the Indian is confirmed, and from the very meagre details, as yet furnished it appears that more lives have been lost than was at first stated. The exact number, however, was not known. Six of the officers, and fifty of the crew of the Indian were brought to Liverpool by the Hungarian. AMONG the sciences which have progressed the most notably amongst us of late years, above all question the science of " palaver " has reache d the highest point of perfection. The circum stances—Of the day, indeed, are especially favour able for its culture and development. It is pre cisely among shallow, ready men—the men who "run and read," who take passing draughts at the Pierian Spring and straightway rush off to deluge the forum and the senate—that this science is the most - successfully cultivated and assumes its most pretentious appearance. As may be expected from the universal spread of information, it is the characteristic of the age that. what knowledge , gains in the extent of its diffusion it loses in depth. It spreads over a wide surface , and is seen in many places ; but it strikes but a shallow root except in few. Now we are not by any means going to depre cate this wide extent of superficial information. With a modest and teachable spirit it is, doubt less, a sensible benefit to mankind. But we are no less convinced that with arrogance and self-' sufficiency, it is one of the most pernicious off shoots from our national character. It is a mis fortune, with little compensation, that a confident and ready ignorance Can always lord it in the ordinary walks of our public, life, and achieve a decided supremacy over the, ordinary but predo minant mind of the day. When we reflect into whose hands power is tending, and what claims are the : most listened to among those classes who, ac cording to some prognostications, are to be in future the governing instead,of the governed, we might, perhaps, take anything but a cheerful prospect of the future of this country. The great danger is Jest " political mediocrity" should in the next age rule the fortunes of the English nation. What have we seen within the last week, in this emporium of commerce and sharp rude common sense ? We have seen a portion of its business men, some few of its merchants, and a' large number of its tradesmen, affect to bow' down before the crude and shallow theories of confident ignorance in the pers®n of Mr. BRIGHT. Mr. BRIGHT may be taken as a favourable and select specimen of the leader of what some say is good demand. Oats not-so brisk, but unaltered.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1859. to be the coming era. He is a man of strong natural abilities, endowed with a power of manly and vigorous eloquence, with a considerable acuteness and 'sharpness of perception, seeing clearly the little that he does see, able to use with readiness the materials at his command—but he is also a man with very little solid material at all, whilst using with dangerous power what ever first comes to his hand ; without the power of mental balance, and unable either to grasp conditions not broadly projecting them selves to the surface—although at the same time' exerting a material influence over the whole question, or to moderate the confidence of a partial view, by imagining the existence of con— ditions not at present known or perceived. There may be some consolation to our local vanity in. the fact that the invitation of this man emanated from a shopkeeping class of the same talkative ignorance as his own, and not from the natural representatives of the mind of Liverpool. Yet the fact remains, that here,—where schools of a high class abound,—where those whose actual attain ments are few, have still special opportunities of acquiring the habit of mind •and thought which saves them from that haste of ignorance whose characteristic is to find its conclusions so long before the legitimate processes of enquiry, and gives them a tacit and pervading impression of the difference between the atmosphere of opinion and the atmosphere of truth,—that here, Mr. BRIGHT, the great champion of uneducated and undisciplined talent, has been invited to expound a sort of new philosophy of politics and finance. Now if we take for granted, which we may, that Mr. BRIGHT is one of the galaxy of "heroes" who is to receive the worship of the " coming "age," it must strike us as the most discouraging feature in the prospect, that Mr. BRIGHT is one of those who not only plead guilty to, but posi tively glory in, the possession of an uneducated mind. For this is what is meant by that depreciation of the " old learning," whiclz those who have not the patience and self-mastery to attain it, affect. So confined is any mortal grasp in comparison with the infinite range ' of knowledge, that we may almost express the whOle difference between those who are called learned and those who are called ignorant, by the classification into the ignorance of the edu cated, and the ignorance of the uneducated mind. The attribute of the one is enquiry, according to right principles ; and of the other, confident conclusions on partial data. . The advan tage of education Consists rather in the law of judging and investigating, than in the amassing of a large collection of facts. The •whole secret of forming adequate and useful opinions, is in the due perception of the relations of a few things, more than in knowledge of a multitude of things out of this relatiOn ; and the secret of avoiding abrupt and shallow* conclusions, is by the know ledge that there may be relations no t yetdisco vered, and which, when known, might impart a new element into the enquiry. The danger to which society is now exposed is, we maintain, in the supremacy of this uneducated, clever mind, of which Mr. BRIGHT is a favour able and competent representative. What he sees, he sees clearly; and his ignorant followers applaud him to the' echo, because he has the ability to make them see it also. The • sus picion that he does not see all, the patience to hunt out for new relations, the humility that casts about to learn from every source and does not disdain uncongenial teachers, are wholly foreign to that prtsumptuous and vulgar mind. It is needless to say how foreign they must be to the minds of his besotted hearers. It is only what we could expect when we note in Mr. BRIGHT'S great achievements in the science of " palaver," that logic of what we may call clever ignorance, which disregards the truth and comprehensiveness of the premises in comparison with the process of the argumentation. True, 11 0 seldom announces a position which holds itg ground after the calm sifting of the critic. But . if he can carry his audience along with Idyl through a rough and ready process of a rule of " thumb " logic, he is content, no matter whither he is carrying them. We may say both are con tent to fall into the ditch together. WE do not think it ever could have been se— riously contemplated that Lord PiLmEnsTo rft should be the Plenipotentiary from this countrY at the approaching Congress at Paris, to into consideration the very complex position i ll which the Central States of Italy have bee° placed by the failure of the pretentious gramme enunciated by the Emperor of til e French at the commencement of the Italiall campaign, namely,—of freeing the Peninsulg' from Austrian dominion from "the Alps to the "Adriatic." In fact, we think that the position ill which those States are now found is infinite l y . he more disastrous than it was previous t o the annexation of Lombardy to the Crown of Pied mont. Sufficient has not been done to liberate the Italians from their' subjugation, which eel" tainly was most distasteful to thei r feelings, alio which unquestionably by ma n y arbitrary -lbe committed by their rulers pr essed most hardly 0° them.
