The Cotton Market, to-day, was of a moderate character. A considerable amount of business was done, the sales amounting to 8,000 bales, of. which 2,000 were for export, or taken on specula tion. Although the sales were to a fair extent, the supplies being ample, prices were barely main tained. In the Liverpool Railway Share Market the tone of business was good, the prices firm, closing at the best point with an upward tendency.

A monthly and special meeting of the Town Council was.held yesterday, ample details of the proceedings at which will be found in'another part of this day's paper. The matters brought under discussion, thought not of themselves such as to create r. very lively interest, were generally ofgrave importance to the community. One subject of, deep, indeed of vital, interest to the port, the ens-. i Cody and working of the ." chain-testing" machine belonging - to the' Corporation. As was _well stated by Mr. Tobin, the value of such " insti tution" M a port like Liverpool, is indeed beyond all hunian . calculatien. The public will learn with satisfaction that the Council is alive to the value of such an institution, and will be further •gratified to learn that , its services and efficiency will be made available for public purposes. • The subject of the refusal of the Town-hall for holding _ the Riflemen's ball was brought forward, and as might have been ,expected, from his -known cOurtesy' and - the general benevolence of . his _d:sposition his Worship the Mayor showed. that personally he had not had any hand in preventing the use of the Tpwn-hall from being .grfanted for the purpose, the granting or denial of the use of that edifice resting entirely with the Town=hall:Committee. • • : An important and highly interesting' meeting was held in the'Collegiate Institution last' niht, -. for the_pagose of promoting the interests of the protestant CiilTege at alta. The meeting was` .presided over by Mr. T. 8.-1 - lorsfall, M.P. An addrbs's .0f great: length and tnuoliilegital - force - , was delivered by the Earl of Shaftesbury, in faVour of the objects sought to be accomplished. The meeting was a protracted and interesting one, as will be seen from the very ample report which I we give of it elsewhere. • WE rather imagine that some people will be surprised at the power of resistance to- her po litical assailants, which the Chinch. of England seems now fully prepared to. display. it will startle on the one hand those 'timid spirits who' have been frightened into a mistaken* subrnisSion "by the rude onslaught of - factious sectarianism ; and on the other, thOse who calculated on the Church's instinctive distaste for secular ,politics, as leaving the . way open and secure for their ultimate designs. In truth the Church -labours under peculiar disail.vantages,in these contentions. A new and irregular power has of late years developed itself in our social system and seems about to take its place among the fixed agencies of public opinion and national -- politics. We mean the epower , `of `agitation. This power too often 'differs from the ordinary-methods of revolution . . _ _only in,this,. that its objects are effected ..hy a prolonged process, and not by sudden demhnstra tions. The appearance of actual violence is therehrescaped; and the attainment of its-Object ascribed to the force of opinion, though -in- fact, - it has been forced upcin- opinion. The plea Of force is not directly put in to press) its demands 'upon the Legislature. The concession is not made _ to stop the-flow of blood; or to stay the progress • of an armed band ; but though not, put - into words, nor consciously obtruded, the motive at the bottom may be all the while to avert a...revolu tionary- derponstration which a longer refusal would provoke. Many reasons, therefore, may be given why an unwearied process of agitation has become the surest means of forcing unwilling, concessions upon existing authority. Yet it is no less a dangerous innovation upon the regular forms of the Constitution that, to the persevering agitator, the question of over-riding the public expression of .the best opinion in the country, should be merely one of time and opportunity. The force of _public opinion is we admit, the fore most element in modertr life. But this prepon , derance obliges us to be there careful to:detect its pretended manifestationO, and preveutits violent .3. but subtle distortions. Propositions are,. session - after session, pressed upon a Legislature which has again and again pronounced its deliberate and unfavourable judgment, and when• nothing has in the meantime occurred- to change the cur rent of its opposition. Now when an attempt7 l is made to tease' the Legislature into grantingl out of sheer- weariness and disgusthat (of its own mere motion it would withhol'd, the parliamentary mouthpieces of the: agitations' are guilty of depraving the Constitution and introducing seditious . precedents. But they are'also guilty' of offending the majesty of4hat public opinion which they affect to exo.ltciand , of surreptitiously and violently superseding. its - influence. The instances of success which have of late • years attended this method of coercion are certainly not such as to justify it in our eyes, but only fo intensify our notions of its dangerons ten dency—a purpose which the instances of its perseVeranhe still in suspense must similarly serve. No one, for example, catisay that this con stant pestcing of the Legislature with the Ballot, and the Wife's-Sister's Marriage Bill, is -at all reconcileable either with respect - for the forms of the Constitution, or for the healthy expression of public opinion ? Nevertheless, it is more than possible, that unless the political, and the religious mind of the country acting in Par liament, take some resolute notice of this uncon stitutional impertinence of agitation, honest con stituents may have imposed upon them the 'electoral prifilege Of rogues and cowards ; and ~,those who reverence GOD'S Word, witness another 4 ' *tain cast upon the sacred marriage tie by the Legislature of a Christian . country. This, then, is the power. which the Church of England has, in these days, to - encounter, at the hands of sectarianism ; and which begins by as sailing the secular accidents . of her position. The ..result calculateS nitin - in The tong - run, whatever be the object of its"attack, may carry .with it additional probability, .when ~ a spiri tual body is that object. : The Church of Eng land. does not fear an honest and .spontaneous public opinion. There is not an impression which ,the more conscientious but tog . eager reformer hurriedly takes up against her character and claims, which inquiry does 'not serve to modify. There is scarcely a " crying abuse" which does not turn out either wholly imaginary, or to be 'the accidental - result - of - extranems *circumstances which all are willing, and will soon be able to change. In the hands of heneA public opinion we arolibntent to place the Church's political cause. Neither are we afraid - of too rough a handling, if only it be . honestly and truthfully administered. But of the peculiar arts of modern . agitation, we are not ashamed to say that the Church. and we have occasion to be afraid, in common with every useful institution and every righteous cause. There is, therefore, the more • reason that Churchmen should persevere in their .present tactics of diligent and fearless • defence, and learn the disagreeable duty of coming down , .into-the arena of factious sectarianism. We have left ourselves no space to refer more particUlarly to the admirable speech Of Sir JOHN COLERIDGE at Exeter the .other day, upon the subject of Church-Rates though it has sug gested these comments—and; for the present, must content ourselves with commending it to the attention' of our readers. - TT - will be no disadvantage to the Shipping ) Interest that the leading journal, together with 'every shade of the Liberal press, has decried and ridiculed the important meeting of shipowners held in the metropolis. At that meeting deputies from the various seaports attended to represent thezeal state of the commercial marine in their various localities. Notwithstanding the con tinental reputation for gullibility which JOHN BULL has credit for, yet, still he arrives at last, from his sterling good common sense, -at right and just conclusions. For a tine he may be, and is often misled by the plausi ble sophistries and illogical fallacies which political and financial empyrics in attractive and showy colours dress up for his deception. .- • It is, by all detractors of this important branch of our commerce, admitted that at the present moment the Shipping Interest is in a most de pressed state, and that they who have in vested in it capital, do not 'receive that fair and adequate return which their enterprise deserves. We are well aware that the very remarkable discovery of, gold in California and Australia stimulated this Interest immediately after the repeal of the Navigation Laws in 1849. Superadded to this, the Crimean war and our embroilment with PerSia operated as impulses to increase largely the introduction of capital into - ,the Shipping Trade.. The large emigration which such discoveries induced and promoted, caused a - great demand for the transport of such adventurers to these*golden fields. This emigration to un cultivated plains, rich only in mineral productions, rendered it necessary that exports of all the . necessaries of life should be shipped for con sumption in exchange for the - gold which the fortunate delvers had obtained. These two cir cumstances combined, tended without doubt, for a period, to render less apparent the very unfair and unjust position , into which the British Shipowner had been thrown by the unwise and rash concession which opened all the British ports to foreign bottoms without the equivalent of reciprocity. Let the Shipping Interest show the same activity, arid use the same means for the assertion and maintenance of its equitable demands which parties adverse to their claims employ, and there can be no doubt but that even-handed justice will be dealt out to them by a discriminating and rightly informed public. We counsel that this town, so deeply interested in the welfare of this branch of commerce, should take some more active part than it has hitherto done in bringing before the public the claims of the British shipowner. There is here an Associ ation formed for the express purpose of venti lating this important subject, and why is it, we ask, that, while other associations formed in sea ports subordinate to this in importance, have held public meetings, that Liverpool, not second in this respect even to the metropolis, should have procras= tinated so long to follow the example which has been set it by more humble pretenders.. This is, however, taking a loWer ground for argumentation when compared with the impor tant influence which the well-being- of the mercantile marine exercises upon the efficiency of, our navy. It will be quite impossible for our fleet to be efficiently manned unless the nursery from which the sailors are to be trans planted is better tended than at present, not withstanding many recent improvements in the navy are likelylo render that service more popular among seamen than it has hitherto been. How long, then, we ask, will it be in the power of those who are the ill-disguised enemies of British o o k oi en th o r u o t ug on h this blin d qu i e n s dar tion er ? en Navigation to point the fin g er at.
