The London Stock Market to-day exhibited no movement of importance, general dullness prevail ing; the quotations for Consols, which opened steadily at the 'closing quotations of yesterday, having slightly receded. This result, it is said, was owing to the small - investments of the Government Broker, which this morning was limited to £5,000 only, and Consols are now quoted at 95i t,- for money and account.

Having made a very searching investigation into all the circumstances of the case, the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." They, however, at the same time, expressed an opinion that the - application of " taps," in such a connection as that which had been proved, in relation with apparatus intended to contain water, subject to the-opera tion of an elevated temperature, is highly danger ous. They also stated their conviction that due first insfance, such schemes are suggested. Per •haps no one will' say that the burdens upon rich and poor - cannot be more equitably divided, and many modes of taxation profitably altered. The Financial Reformers, therefore, have what Mr. BRIGHT and his political quacks have not, an antecedent claim upon our attention and our respect ; nay, if at all possible, upon the co operation of all classes. But if the reformer aims to secure all these, it is necessary that-his schemes be solid, well-bottomed, moderate enough caution had not been used by the engineers. to give some hope of overcoming the opposition A rumour was current in Paris on , Monday of the interested and the scruples of the timid, afternoon to the effect that the Emperor Napoleon and not aiming at consequences too high or too -- has requested Victor Emmanuel t o re f use t o th e d e - di s t an t f or t h e appre h ens i on of common men. putations from the Legation s th e i r reques t . t o b e How can we co-operate with a fi nanc i a l revolu- annexed to Piedmont. tionist ?

If for one twelve-month or less, this poor and' distracted Commonwealth of England were submitted to the manipulations of Mr. BRIGHT, and these our local aspirants, would not all the povernments in Europe in admiration come and lay - their portfolios at their feet ? As for us old-world spirits, who still pretend to love the British Constitution, and take hut slowly .and unkindly the teachings of the new political economy, our vision is of a limited and feeble cast ; our sluggish faculties a fever of cannot rise to, the height of this great argument, nor fully conceive all the possibilities of a Finan cial &former's future. Mark too ,the beautiful division of labour which apportions the different branches of the body-politic to these great Apos- ties of reform. Mr. BRIGHT'S comprehensive genius takes in all the political and theo . retical defects in the intricate machine of government. The other and humbler labourers are engaged in preparing data for its new policy As soon as the more perfect instrument is devised by the one, the measures it is to carry out will be placed by the other cut and dried into its hands. Need we add, that that 'machine of government is to be found in the supremacy of one, and that the lowest class in the country ; and that the policy is to be what is called the taxing of the rich - for the benefit of the poor? Mr. BRIGHT, therefore, and his new Reform' League, and the Liverpool Association, are natural allies, advancing step by step to the same object, Often under specious dis- guises, and always with attractive professions. With all the inspiration of poetry, however, we have a deal of its madness ill-affected to the very laudable object which is the subject of financial reform. No one Will question the good intentions by which, in the No one can be SEPTEMBER 21, 159 money-power is to be the regenerator of mankind. Where; through this night of ages, — in what depths of the human mind, has this grand prineieg been hidden, whil e iice‘and and pride and selfishness, have played their cease less and fantastic tricks before high . heaven ?- Surely this cannot be the waning age of the world,:when its only secret of preservation—its charm, we might suppose, of eternal - youth—first discovers itself to mortals ! Now, in all this, we are more - serious thy' satirical- We cannot look withoUt grave dis pleasure upon these audacious phantasies of well— informed and practical men._ They cut both. ways.

COLERIDGE interpreted it, in his speech at Exeter, which was copied into our eolumns the day before yesterday. Our able contemporary very reasonably deduces from that speech the opinion;that hot only is such edu cation to be considered as an issue of Christi anity, but :that Christianity, in its general' principles, treating all alike who embrace' it, as brethren, and as 'standing, in a Christian sense, in a position_of equality,--must of neeessity- exert its influence in the Whole. process that is at work,---the process we mean, of improving the people by education, when it is properly conducted. Tiy this term it is not meant; of course, that the acquisition of reading and - writing, and accounts—of history, and geograPhy, and grammar, and logic,—that these things of. themselves constitute education ; to suppose so, although a very very dangerous mistake common, were a To educate, is not only to instruct, but to train up—to make those who are brought under its operation fit for theit respective stations in society, in .a Christian. . . country, and under Christian responsibilities. Surely that divine element, to the operation of which it •is mainly owing that the humbler classes, more particularly, have got to be educate& at . all, can never be kept out of .view in any such consideration as this. It is quite true, that education has the effect of raising those who are brought under its influences to political power,. however lowly their condition in society may be. But if the education itself be of the right sort,. there is nothing to be apprehended from such a result as this. An educated people deserves to be entrusted with political power. One of the greatest objections of all to universal suf frage is, that the people are not universally educated. If it be Christian education, and those whom it trains up become Christian citizens, — why, they are the very best materials that the State can possibly have, with which to build up its political institutions. Our contemporary justly observes, therefore, that "in this sense it " is quite true to say that the genius of, Christianity " is democratic,"—that "it discards altogether that "'old aspect of the mass, that old impertinence of " supposing that a select clique, a peculiar race, " is-mankind. It annihilates this uppish, ridicu-- " bons inflation, the frivolity of the aristocratic dreamer; it svatters this miserable rubbish to
