The openine , quotations; yesterday , were slightly higher th an on Sa t urday, and just before the termination of business a further improvement tqok place, the market leaving off at the best price of the day. The principal inquiries were 'for Sheffield, South Eastern, Midland, and North British. The English funds opened with great dulness at the closing prices of Saturday, and have remained without the slightest fluctuation. But for the reaction of the Paris Bourse, consequent upon the refusal of the Pope to send a representative to Congress unless the recent pamphlet- shall be officially repudiated, the tendency would probably have been towards improvement, since the demand for discount is moderate, and money,' is abundant in the Stock Exchange at 2i per cent.—Times. The Stock Exchange was still under holiday influence. Consols, however, were not lower than on Saturday. The principal feature was a fresh advance in British railway stocks, which closed with decided buoyancy. There was also a demand for railway stock for account of the provincial markets. There was a good demand for money, which will probably increase during the next few days. In the general market the supply was rather scanty, at 24 per cent. for best bills. ' There were no transactions in gold at the Bank. The demand for the Continent continues, and any supplies that m a y come to hand will doubtless be taken, for exportation. The foreign exchanges were firm. The exchange on Austria has experienced a moderate advance to that country.--badly News. TO CO RRESPON DENTS.

THE DAY'S NEWS. The quasi Imperial pamphlet, " The Pope and the Congress," would appear to lose none of its in terest on the Continent, as its circulation continues. It is represented as having fallen like a thunder bolt at the Vatican; and the indignation of the Sa cred College would seem to have communicated itself with almost electrical rapidity and force through the whole range of their Church—into Austria, Belgium, and even, to some extent, France. It is understood that they, immediately required the Pope to insist upon an official denial of the rumoured authorship of the pamphlet, accom panied by a threat that his Holiness would not consent to be represented at the Congress unless such a denial were given ; and this the Papal Nuncio at Paris lost no time in intimating to Count Walewski: . It ought scarcely to embarrass the French Government much. The clerical and Ultramontane journals of France have naturally been filled with consterna tion, by the publication of the famous pamphlet on the PoPedom ; and the Paris Univers ) as the leading journal • of that party, has already had two •warnings for its too free discussion of the subject,—the Government plainly declaring, that " it cannot be allowed to endeavOur to organise a political agitation in France under religious pre texts." It is satisfactory to .find, that the misunder standing about the Island of San Juan, in British. Columbia, has at length been adjusted. Generr.sl Scott, who was sent out to supersede the impetuous and audacious Harney, has been suc cessful in his mission; although he has' neat,• it is said, accomplished all that his Gov ernment wished to be done. He has made, ho• wever, we are assured, arrangements entirely satisfactory to the English authorities nor the spot; though they are only 'of a temporary,' nature. The conduct of the United States authorities, both civil and military, at - San Juan, is much a" Of. -The complaine: of many petty acts of. ar,noyance ; and, but for . the forbearance of the: 'British , governor, and of the British naval mai .orities, at hand, much mis chief might have ax+ sen out of it. The dispute is not yet permanenr Ay to hope th a t it IF settled ; but there is reason ill be so, as soon as the proposals agreed upon ay the American and the British authorities are ratified, by their respective, governmer .its. We V.:gret to have to record a serious miiii.tary !riot at Aldershot.; An affray, which soon assumed a feirftif aspect, occurred on Siiiiday 'rii4ht, between , some seldiers of the second battalion of the 24th regiments and some 'of the Tower Ham lets Militia. Ohe life • only, so far as is known, was lost ;' yet kit for the prompt interposition of these .in. command.. the result would: doubtless have been much more deadly. It seems un fortunate. that there should often exist a bad , . feeling_ _ between the regula r 'army and the militia. This affray, it is believed, if not trace . : able to such a bad feeling, was much aggravated by its influence, after the 'disturbance began. At the meeting of The Water Committee, yes terday, the quality of the water supplied from • Rivington—that questio rexata—was raised. The answer given by the Water Engineer was in consonance . with the observation of most resi dents in Liverpool. The water supplied is flat so pellucid as it was . some months ago ; and. it should be remembered that pure water is an 'essential element of ' social as well as individual health. Whatever may be the cause of the impurities, the inhabitants have gooA ground for - complaining that tha water :they , receive -is inot • such as was : promised to be supplied by the extensive and magnificent works, at' Rivington, and in connection with it: In a part of our impression yesterday we were enabled to publish the welcome intelligence, that a telegraphic commtinication' has been established across the Mersey. . , The annoUncenient of this fact affords us the pleasure of congratulating the Liverpool people on' both sides of the river—for, in reality, the inhabitants of both banks are but one community—on the accomplishment of what cannot but prove an immense advantage. If it be true—as the practice has established—that electric communication is necessary between the different docks, the construction of a similar mode of intercourse between the Lancashire and Cheshire sides of the river cannot be disputed, and we heartily wish it every success. When we reflect on the numerous purposes to which it may be bene ficially directed; and call to remembrance that in New York and other cities in America electric communication is, and has long been, established between the different fire-stations and other public departments, by which they can readily communicate with each other, our surprise is great that short-distance local telegraphs are izot in general operation here. The present 'a beginning and in the right direction. In to-day's paper we give publicity to a.memo rial addressed to the Board of ,Trade which, in effect, recommends the prevention of vessels anchoring in the direct line between the Landing stage and Woodside. Without in the slighest degree questioning the advantages which would be 'gained by' the ferrying public - - probably, in a numerical, sense, by much the ma jority—it is impossible to divest ourselves of the knowledge current on belief, that the point in the river sought to be kept clear from the anchor ing of vessels, is about the most,convenient for the use of those who are desirous of getting their ships into dock. Undoubtedly everything which can be done, ought to be and will be effected to lessen risk and to increase comfort on board the ferry boats, all of which are well known and established favourites.! nmy also be well here' to mention that a rumour has been thrown in our way to the effect that a "menaorial" to the Birken head Commissioners relative to the management of Woodside Ferry in foggy weather has been prepared and is in course of receiving signature. It is intended, so says the rumour, to present this last-named memorial at the monthly meeting of the board on Tuesday next. A LIN C;5l IF. Louis NAPOLEON'S plan for settling .the most perplexing of European questions passes muster everywhere except among the Ultramontanists,ihe Will have reason to congratulate himself upon its full measure of popularity, and also to anticipate its ultimate success. In fact, if his - proposal should have won this amount of general favour, the dis taste and execration of the Ultramontane sup porters of - the Papacy may be taken as an additional source of confidence. This type of political Roman , Catholie also represents a special type . of the human mind, of which, in any given case, it is always ten hundred to one whether you can gain the approval—that approval, in theten hundred and first case, being not worth anything when you have got it. It is clearly impossible to. argue with satisfaction on practical subjects with unpractical men, or to arrive at any useful deci sion on politics without going beyond the door of your study. These men have themselves a notion; of the intangible character of their speculations, and would start back from the logical conclusions of their theories perhaps as much as the more prudent spectator. But the very impossibility of their schemes being realised encourages them in their wildest flights ; for whilst they indulge their genius in its 'favourite amusement, they ;-are not troubled with a sense of resposm;ibility and of the necessity of eaution. OuK only resource, therefore, is to leave them as much as possible to themselves, regarding neither,: their praise nor their • blame. Undue anxior„y manifested about either, is sure to meet wit:n an insult. They are engaged in all the gritrd loneliness of the devotee worshipping their t , idols of the cave ;" any accent of moderatir s m breaking in upon their soli= - tude from the outer world draws down only an anathema. Men of "'theory are, of course, aIA-ays - rigid and uncompr om i s i ng ; and this characteristic gives them, at first sight, the reputation of a certain rudr. ; honesty and vigour. For instance, all men consider Mr. BRIGHT, in this country, eminently k unpractical ; but many were once disposed to consider him also sincere and truthful beyond other candidates for popularity. 'Yet, we find, that Mr. BRIQIIT'S best virtue consists in, hie being troubled .with no sense of - responsibility ; and, theiefore,:being able - without harm to spin out ihis theorieS, and dream his dreams for ever.- He gives 4 the government of the world to other and_practical men, that he may, with more freedem and unconstraint; follow, , cheap and taking ainusenient. At the present moment the Ultramontanists are doing much the same on the European stage. They are making a great deal of noise, and' Stirring up much . fancifur indigna tion, and provoking moderate people to think and say, what very dangerous and dreamy experi menters these are! Yet if they really believed it within their range to remodel" Europe upon their. own principles, and that all the power : of their reasoning, and threatening, and persuading, could avail in its pretended object, an instinctive-. terror would modify their most sacred ""-convic tions." • We do not • suppose for a. moment that- VEUILL . OT seriously wishes to bring back the days of "the Pope and' the Emperor," or that: even the Univers wishes to see a Holy War ; organised against non-Roman Catholic . Europe. And as for our Irish counter-blasters, we have no doubt; if they lived in Italy"initead of Ireland; they Would turn out the noisiest r . eformers of Now, is it necessary.to review ,the arguments with which the Ultramontanists successively. astonish the' reading werld and threaten labo i ur I for the, censor's scissors in Paris ? Scarcely so. We know the, course they will take beforehand ; and in political matters are accustomed to measure ,the - wisdom of a preposition, by anticipating the measure of disfavour with which .it will be: re ceived by Ahern. When the Univers shall be found muttering its sullen assent, doubt not there is. something wrong. When. it arrives at the highest pitch of execration, expect to receive the._generous support of _all the best and Most reasonable men Of its own religious profession. Meanwhile, if we allow theie men the luxury of their relentlesS but useless theories, we must not attach too much importance to a mere habit 'and temper of mind. When they are on their stilts they are not a whit more worthy our speculative admiration. They may be left there unmolested till they shall think it best to come down.; . but we haVe nothing to do blit make the shortest and easiest way out of. the 'complications which beset us in the humbler walk of our ordinary businesS in - the world. , Fortunately,_ there is always a practical answer ready for these gentlemen in their airiest"and haughtieSt'moods. Thus, when the Univers stigmatises the last proposition of compromise in the Roman question as the kiss of Judas, it is enough to answer, that Europe does not wish to insult the Pope, but that it is very well content to leave him alone, if he will, or can, leave it alone. It is open to France to withdraiv its forces entirely from their false and irregular position in a foreign country, without incurring any such charge of hypocritical betrayal as this. And yet this would be the most fatal course to the Pope's temporal power that could be devised. It is the Pope who calls in Roman Catholic Europe to advise upon his case, not they who offer advice, or wish to it. Surely it is only reasonable that he should take their advice with out contemptuous reproaches and ungenerous suspicions. At the worst he is open to take it or reject it. If France says to him, I cannot longer assist you to retain the Romagna, but if you like I will assist you to retain Rome, and between you and me I think this would be the best arrangement for all parties, the Pope has no right to impute worthless motives to the adviser whose opinion he has asked. Let it never be forgotten that the Pope's position has not been thrust upon him from without ; that it is no foreign and aggressive power he has to be protected from ; but that the quarrel is between himself and his f. subjects, and that it would be quite legitimate to leave him and them to settle it between them- selves. Any assistance which shall enable him to effect a compromise is after all a gratuitous benefit, to be entertained with consideration if not accepted with gratit4de. iBY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNEPI9 TELEGRAPH.] TILE LATEST NEWS.

Let us take, for instance, the' ire ax, of Harwich. That town has, during, 'the le' 4 ; b l ro iv• shown signs of political vitality.

How was. this peP of its etion to be counteracted ? Simply thus. On e o f the representatives in the present parliament is the . st i del present Lord Chancellor, and it will be the Palwr.frao" of the Hon. W. F. Campbell to vote for theeple chisement of the borough he represents, on the to o that it' IS better to have his father LordsCihbeinte::roclooers: himself member for Harwich.
