The Spaniards also suffered, though not , to the same e"xtent'll ' Times is It is a very significant fact, that the . under the necessity of treating with ridicule, the great meeting of the Shipping interest, in London. The leading journal, able though it be, has not a single argument to present against the proceedings, and therefore has recourse to the silliest jesting. The intelligent and enterprising ge that interest, who asse m bl e d in lemen of so _ strong a body on occasion, re described as a exhibition, it is pre emonstration of "fossil" " There was exhibited," it is ob.= the City of.

Ancient which have -bt-cOme almost unknown to which had long since ceased to be incarnate, appeared agaiii for 'tsn6 short hour in the flesh." Such is the weak, and r foolish. strain of satire which the 'nonplussed` journlist is constrained to_ use=-at least -- ntil lie comes .to the great_fact of the occasion—that namely, of the meeting having set - forth a 'series of grievances which cannot possi bly be disproved,. and having founded upon.them a powerful petition to Parliament, to impact ,into the actual state of British Navigation, and the causes which ,hare led to• its, present depression,— an act Of justice which the Times hopes it will not do; pretending to be "-ashamed of such ludis play of ignorance and selfishness at the present day among men of such social position !" The truth is, the leading journalis beginning, to, .find itself in a rather false Tpo4tion ; and we have no doubt that this will'be very strongly manifested vthezi the subject in hand comes to be discussed by the House of Commons..

The continental alarms have subsided, or have lost their effect. The funds exhibit a fresh rise of nearly per cent., but the principal movement was in the market for British railway stocks, which showed more buoyancy than for a long time past. Now that foreign politics excite less immediate anxiety, speculators have been: en couraged to operate for higher prices by the large traffic returns and the prospect of favourable dividends. Although the market was good in character throughout, the South Eas tern, Lancashire and:Yorkshire, and London and North Western stocks may be particularized as the strongest to-day.

The official invitations to the several great Powers, who are to attend th ,, Congress that is convened for the settlement of the Italian question, have now been sent out ; and we suppose in a few days it will be known whether all those Powers have agreed to be present, and take part in its deliberations. Each Power is th be re presented by two plenipotentiaries. The Congress is expected" to assemble in the first week in January, and it is expected to proceed to business about the fifth of that month. _ One of the first signal effects of the treaties of Zurich will be the immediate resumption of diplo matic relations between Austria and Piedmont. These two Powers have had their relations inter rupted for now about three years. They are pre paring to exchange Minister-plenipotentiaries, in order to re-establish that diplomatic intercourse which is essential between Powers that are to be on friendly terms with each other. The war between Spain and Morocco has now with the firtLiesi; weld in London, on Tuesday.

The remarks lilac by those gentlemen cannot fail to have much weight in the country, and firm in this convi4lon, we beg to direct attention to _them. In : particp:lar,_ the general observations of Mr. J. Bramley-Moore, and the eminently prac tical. elucidation of some important portions of the question by Mr. james Beazley, deserve, and will no ddubt receive, partieular attention. By the arrival of the Montreal Ocean Steam ship Company's steamer North AineTiaii; - we have intelligence to - 'the . 19th - ult. , from}Quebec, whence she sailed on that day. Generally , speak 7 ing, the news is ,not very important. Among the items with which' we are favoured, we learn that the Victoria-bridge was expected to be ready. for traffic before the closing of the navigation of the St: Lawrence for the winter. From the United States, we are informed that the San Juan difficulty, cannot, in accordance with etiquette, form a topic of the 'President's message; or for mally engage the' attention of Congress for some time to come, as the matter in dispute is still under consideration of the two governments, nei ther of which has given any definite deliverance on the subject. aurpose of DIE happy family appears to be at last coming to its trial. The implacable Reform question which lets no ministry live in peace for six months together, alrfady plants, with thqns the pillows of Messrs. PALMERSTON, Russgu., and Co., and the pleasant associates, who somewhat, surreptitiously supplanted Lord DERBY and his colleagues, and agreed to sink their private IpTerences, are again - giving signs of tharrepel- . lent power which so efficaciously dwells among them. We must at , All events say, the perioclipf their repose has been short. After some monthi of forced unanimity, courteous concession, and a degree of outward decency, we can almost con ceive the agony with which these men have approached the fatal, moment which was to strip every heart of its disguise, and rudely break up the dream of unity and peace. As the opinions of each other, which they hitherto tacitly agreed to leave unquestioned; come out into more definite shape, and they learn once more how wide they are, and have always been, apart, we can scarcely help thinking' that an uncomfortable sense of hypocrisy will trouble their recollections of their past ministerial career. What skill it must have taken to avoid unpleasant subjects, and what exquisite forbearance in the treatment of a more refractory and conscientious brother ! Up to the inevitable point, this cabinet life has been one Pecksniffian smile, with one general understand ing to banish the stern realities of the thing, and enjoy for a brief space a sort of temporary holiday. What has been the assumed character under which they have all along traded for each other's sympathy and respect, it is hard to say . Though, very poSsibly, it has been no other than that of an old-fashioned and very immoveable Tory. But it costs us no effort to realise the true and startling nature of a reaction which precipitates them at once into the middle of a question, the most illimitable in its points of dif ference and contention. it is possible that co the mental reaction of our present yacillating simply sentiments at Aberdeen was justified in tutr. out Lord DERBY, and: whether he is preparg offer the r `only justification in his power eli_q?Qratirg very decided and all but •evo l u - there•: is jUS' on of the present tionary policy ? It is -evident much reason for a disrupt Ministry as there-was for ant, opposition,- to-the And the difficulty Lord . JoriN' has thrown himself into is .thi; that he cannot vindicate that opposition without offending most of his present colleagues. It is evident that the tactician has cheated himself into a position which is difficult to turn to account., and yet difficult to escape from, without additional loss to his character. If he had not succeeded in tripping up the Conser vative Ministry while the great party question was trembling in the balance, he was wily enough ,to know, that the most powerful lever of faction which now exiSts, or is likely at present to exist, in the Parliamentary machine, would l e been lost; and no further disguise remained under which his own return to power _could be fought for with hopes of countenance or success. But even the experienced i tae%which has so often risen from defeat, and his :been a constant embarrassment to, opponents for thirty years, could not choose its own time; and now gives very notable signs of being finally over-reached. chdice of maieritili for the new Cabinet which, was to teach Lord DERBY a political lesson, vas dictated by, the occasion and : not by his own will ; and he is. rednced to the necessity of resting, his political claims upon a ,Reform Bill which shall at the ,same time descend far enough into the Radical, slough., to pffend. Lord I:lnnY . , and the Constitutional. party ; and rise far enough to the _Conocitvative level .to please Lord PALMERSTON and Mr. GLADSTONE. THE great meeting of the Shipping Interest in London on !ruesday, of which we were enabled to present a report in our columns of yesterday, was one of those public demonstrations which seldom fail to produce their effect upon the pub lic mind : especially when based, as this undoubt edly was, 'upon the principles of justice and fair play The British Shipping Interest is now admitted 'on all liands to be, if not in a ruinous condition; yet in a 'state of very serious depres sion ; and it can never be for the common' good of a great country like this, that any such Interest should be depressed, let alone ruined. The na tion at large, therefore, has a very deep concern in such .a question as_this. The object of the meeting was, in the first place, to aroufe the feeling of the country on so momentous'a subject ; and, in the next place, to petition Parliament for a comprehensive, searching, and impartial in quiry into the actual state of British Navigation, and the causes that have led to its present depres sion. Of course, there can be no such inqttiry of a searching and impartial nature, that is not i c n o t np o lrellen the causes siNe-- ofw hich do the dep e i s . e s n s i o o t n look, comp a n i o n t e d o nolfy, but into the laws and regulations under which our Shipping is now Conducted, and it which it so probable that most, if not all, the ca uses of It is not, then, a question of Prot or frc hood_to.put forth sue monstrous, to _think that the _ip air.
