LONDON, Thursday Evening. - The Market for English Stocks to-day has been , wanting ,bOth in firmness and animation; and consequent on this heaviness, prices have not been quite so well supported.

Bristol and Exeter are marked 1 per cent. higher—. .Berwicks, with South-Easterns, have improved about per cent.

The following are the averages for the week eating THE DAY'S NEWS.. The treaty of peace; founded on the•conventiim of'Villafranca, has been signed at-Zhrieli-, by - the plenipotentiaries of France and Austri'a,. and now only awaits ratification by their respective Governments. Its details, or at, all{ events,. an outline of them, will be -found in our .latest news- Notwithstanding the: denials of the Chinese officials, respecting the outrage inthe POihoy. and the versions of it favourable to the Chinese which some of our own off cers. have givens. it is. said ,her Majesty's Government , is now satisfied that ;it was a predetermined' scheme to defeat the !treaty of Tien-Tsing.. If this. be , so, there can be no doubt of the necessity of•convineir* kg th e Chinese Emperor that European , ftwers are not to be tricked in this. way, or treated otherwise than the laws of nations.clemanct. We give an account elsewhere of a very inter esting proceeding WY Stalybridge, on Tuesday, the object of which was to promote the erection of a monument in Tochnorden to the memory of the late John Fielder, who represented the borough of Oldham for some time in Parliament, —more particularly with the view of commemorating the exertions of that benevolent gentleman in promoting the ten hours factory bill. Among the speakers on the occasion was the well-known and highly respected —among the operative classes especially—Mr. Richard Oastlqr, who is described as having delivered an energetic address in support of the object. Mr. Pielden was one of Mr. Oastler's most intimate personal friends, and one who did more to encourage and support him in his exertions for the improvement of the factory hands, than probably any other manufacturer, either in Lancashire or Yorkshire. It is gratifying to see the working classes them selves so readily and enthusiastically engaging in the promotion of a monument of gratitude and respect to one who was, undoubtedly, their benefactor. Spain and Morocco, it is now believed, are set tling their disputes in an amicable manner. The Moors had doubtless begun to see that even Spaniards were not to be trifled with ; more espe cially as their cause was one which was sure to secure the sympathies of civilised Europe. The General Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the borough oommenced yesterday, before Gilbert Henderson, Esq., the ReCorder. The number of prisoners to be tried was ninety-six, of whom sixteen had their cases tried and decided yester day. None of the cases contained in the calendar present any features of particular interest. At the ordinary meeting of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, the discussion on the Land ing-stages, specially set down for consideration at that meeting, :was postponed, on account of the illness of Mr. John Laird. The ward elections have at last begun to stir public attention. Contests are now organized in several of the wards; but, judging from the state of the register, as well as from the fixed resolu tion of the Conservatives, the conflict does not seem doubtful, and certainly should not, if the Conservative electors do their duty. Numerous "good men and true" are now in the field; and if the constituencies do not take steps to mark their partialities, as well as to assert and sustain their rights, they will soon have no rights to sustain. We have, to-day, news from America through three channels; but the items of intelligence which we glean from the various newspapers are unimportant. The San Juan question appears to be losing its interest, even with the Americans; and little or no allusion is now made to the subject. The authorities of the United States have at length taken steps for the prevention of those disgraceful marauding or fili bustering expeditions, whfch have so frequently set out from American territory ; and it is with no small degree of satisfaction that we notice t 1 e arrest, under government orders, of the members of the recently organised expedition under Walker, The much boasted superiority of United States cricketers over' those of any other • country, has sustained an over powering refutation •in the great international match which has been played.- The Eleven of All England beat easily -- double their number of Canadians at 'Montreal ; and now they have done the same, and in even a more•decisive manner, with the twenty-two Yaw kees at' New York.

What reason there couht possibly be to suppose,. that the Real:eels who Compose that Citab have. more virtue, as munioipat electors, or as .citizens generally, than-their neighbours, it wouldrhe fieult to imagine: .Antlyet they evidently presume. to lecture the electoranody - , as though the: Club. was composeclioipersonsaifinitely superiorito them in character and , attainments! They tat . !them i ..l for instance,. that- since. considerations .of:hig.l.t. import give great value- to the municipal " it will istamp. : the.electors with chagrace "from fear, orrfavouri.or reward, they gii , e2 theiiv "votes to any.-eandidatn.whom they do not eonscien?-: " tiously bellive to)be.the best fitted todischarge• " these greek tmsts. with, purity, integrity,,modo, " ation, and! jtistieco7:—the great trusts, , thatr which are- involmedi the duty of dealing, with the property of' the , ratepayers, andi regulating the locals. taxatiOul of the borough-, ; . But-what right ha , Aaany sualk clique as this Radit,al:Rsib l i t s Club, toh wetenct that they are more,likely- to, be "free fteralthe- 411Sgrace' of votinggfer.candidates " whout i they dU not conscientiously.-belieue to be "the best fitt to discharge thwelmeatr trusts" than the rest et the electors ? The. very- suppo sition). that they were themselves, *Jeer than ()them from the suspicion of being ; influenced by. mtworthy motives, is of itself' a piece• of most . 1 of most intolerable pae.o:umptiou. Again,. they talk of assiiiting Ow electors " in ".estimating the importanee.of . a proper discharge "•o€ their electoral functiOns."' Why, we ask, should they pretend to fie• better qualified to esti mate any such importance• than► the electors them ; . selves,—or, at any rate, • than that large body of the electors, who are, no• doubt, so much better qualified to form such an estimate, than they have any right to pretend to be ? To tell such eleettars , their superiors, we repeat, in all that constitutes the virtuous and intelligent eitizen,—to tell them, not to "barter away" their electoral privileges "for " low and unworthy considerations," implying thereby, of course, that they are too excellent in all that is pure and high principled to have to do with such "barter" in any shape, political or other wise ; this, we say, is another pieee of insuffer able presumption, and one which, we have no doubt, the electors will treat with the contempt it deserves. And then it is not only their presumption and impertinence that is to be complained of, but their gross inconsistency and insincerity. For instance, they tell the electors, in order to "assist " them in estimating the importance of a proper discharge of their electoral functions," that " no person should be elected an Alderman whc " has not a seat in the Council, and who, by hit: "'manner of discharging his duties t1:21 . e, has " acquired the general approval and confidence of " his fellow citizens." And yet, if we mistake not, it was a delegation of this very Reform Club which waited, the other day, upon our much respected fellow townsman, Mr. WILLIAM BROWN, to propose to him, although he has no . seat in the. Council, that he not may "should be elected " an Alderman," but in due, course be elevated to the mayoralty also ! It is only, they pretend;. any one's services in the Council which can afford just ground for his election as an Alderman,—in 'their own words, as " an acknowledgment of his " proved ability and fitness for such dnties." Mr. BROWN, however, had no such "services" to re fer to,—he was without anything of the • kind to furnish "an acknowledgment of his proved abi lity and fitness for such duties." And yet would this Reform Club have dragged that venerable gentleman from his sacred retirement, and forced him into an Aldermanic chair,—nay, into the arduous position of the Chief*Magistrate himself, —just because they thought they could claim him as one of their own political party! The hollowness, then, of all these professions of the Reform Club, no less than the audacity of their intrusion on the electors, i 4: too apparent" to entitle them to the slightest' attention in any_ quarter. .. We have no doui3t _ourselves, 'that the` municipal' electors, or the „great bcdy of them; will do their duty at tile ensuing elections.- But should they, or any' of them, need to be "'assisted in estimating the finpor " tance of a proper discharge of their electoral . "functions,'" such assistance, they may lie well .assured, must be obtailred froni some purer and better source than the Liverpool Reform Club; if it is to be of'any avail in' securing the advantage of a rightly-constituted' and sound-printiged Town Council for the borough. IT is a hard - thing, just when our hopeS lave . reached the highest, a sure and skilful ~ frain• been laid, and' a: successful issue counted upon: with well-grounded confidence, to be baulke&lY a mere accident.
