MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL, TUESDAY EVENING There was a very quiet Cotton market to-day, the sales not exceeding 3,000 bales, of which 1,000 were on speculation and for export, at barely previous prices• At Manchester, to-day, the market was very tame, and prices nominally J.A.• _ favoured buyers, existing contracts preventing actual business. Home-trade Yarns were lower. The Liverpool Share Market has been rather more active to-day. Business has, however, been limited, but prices are about /to per cent. higher. In the Market for the London Funds and Securities to-day, there v was a pretty good business done, and prices at the close showed an advance of about a per cent. Consols closed at 951 to 95a, and the New Three per Cents at 951, to 96. The London Railway Share Market was firm and somewhat active to-day. Caledonians were done at 831- ; East Lancashire, 941 ; Lancashire, 951 ; London and North-western, 941 ; Midland, 105-4; and Dovers, 75. The last returns of the Irish banks of issue exhibit a decrease in the circulation, as compared with the preceding returns, of £187,502. Last month there was a falling-off of £256,000, and in the preceding four weeks one of £252,000, so that on the quarter the diminution of notes in the hands of the public is little short of £BOO,OOO. In the coin held there is a decrease . on. the month of £7.000. 1 . The general Produce Markets have been dull to-day, but prices on the whole are very firm. Messrs. Alfred Brett and Co., of London, in their steam shipping circular for the month, The sudden change from war to peace has produced a strong and general feeling of satisfaction, leaning to the hope that it will speedily re-establish commercial pros perity over Europe. In our department of business we are at present unable to report any marked change either in the value or employment of steam property. Some bone. t fide buyers of screw steamers ar e , h owever, to be m and the sales of second-h an d vesse l s of this i h' description t during July have am oun t e d t o a considerable ew aggregate of tonnage. Several new steamers have also found purchasers at fair prices; and should no unfore seen check arise to interfere again with the healthy condition of British trade, its more active development will undoubtedly follow, Since the date of our last issue, the freight market for steamers has presented no alteration requiring special remark. Builders are reported to experience more inquiries in respect of new steamers ; but we are not aware that any imperttant building contracts have yet been actually concluded. The usual requirements for autumn tree may be expected to produce increase onksiriess to the general benefit of the shipping interest. LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE LONDON, Tuesday Evening.

As to quality, there seems great disparity in samples—some very good, and a large quantity inferior—but o ld s t oc k s wi ll b e sufficient to keep prices at their present level.

The circulation of THE NORTHF4RN DAILY TIMES, already extensive, is to be increased by its new connection, in a very great degree. Tne charges for advertise ments will be extremely moderate, and every attention will be paid, in their arrangement, to the interests of the advertisers. Advertisements and communications will be re ceived at 13, SOUTH JOHN-STREET, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., a fter which time they must b e for warded direct to the Printing Offices, 40, LEIGH-STREET, PARKER-STREET. .*.• All contracts for advertisements in the NORTHERN TIMES will be completed by the New Proprietary as originally ordered, unless notice to the contrary effect is given. ---~- AT the outset of the recent Session, when the first exultation, prompted by the Liberal victory, was wearing off, we were informed,, by a high metro politan authority, that political principles had undergone a great assimilation, and that, in fact, henceforth only one party remained in the State, The Session being now °vex, looked for, the same high authcri ty tells us, tlu the issue of recent Parliamentary contests has been to define political differences more sharply than at any time since Sir ROBERT PEEL'S defection in 1846. What event of the Session has occurred, sufficiently weighty, in the writer's opinion, to alter so materially the course of his speculation—or whether the true explanation is, that he did not mean anything particular when he made either statement—we can scarcely divine. There was certainly one little incident that ran on by the side of the Session, which to our mind pretty clearly demonstrated that the traditions of party—the ghosts, at least, of political differences—still retained considerable sway throughout the country. When we were told that old party machinery is now rendered useless, and that the same standard floats over the seemingly opposed battalions, one difficulty much troubled us. The revelations of the Committee-room, on which we have already spoken pretty freely, are daily weakening our faith, in public virtue—on one side at and a new campaign least. We could not fail to observe that the Liberals had found themselves compelled to the Imost delirious efforts in order to retain their heterogeneous and hybrid majority. Now, there nen of a peculiarly enthusiastic temperament, joined to a certain easiness and flexibility morals, who can find some sort of justification for an electoral zeal just stepping beyond the prescribed bounds of propriety, Iron the magnitude of the interest 8 involved in the return of a particular candidate to Parliament.

In turning to it anything but a satisfactory now, it presents result Since the execution of CAREY and PICKET, who, in a state of iirunkenness, mur dered, for a few shillings, an old man with whom they had been carousing —nay, on the very day on which they paid the penalty of the law for their atrocious crime, an equally barbarous murder was committed of a precisely similar - - character, by two desperadoes, in another part _ _ - of this country. It is scarcely possible, no;, to take up a newspaper, but we find narrated in its columns some attempt to murder, or an account of the act completed in some barbarous or cruel manner. We are led to inquire seriously into the causes which can produce so sad a condition of society ; in order that, the social disease being discovered, some remedy commensurate with it may be applied.

One object of the Emperor, it is evident, and not the least significant one, was to convey to Europe at large the impression of his military magnificence, as a great national fact. He had already shown Europe what he can, do with his army in the field, and he wanted also to show how that army could display itself, and win for him, its chief, all hearts in his capital. This he has now done. What occurred at the grand banquet at the Tuilleries, after the out-of-door glories of the occasion on Sunday, affords a striking commentary on the character of the whole proceeding. He presented to his Marshals and principal Officers the expression of his joy at meeting them once more ; though, at the same time, assuring them that such joy was mingled with regret at their premature separation,—thanking them, also, for the confidence they had placed in his capability to command so great an army, and exhorting them ever to remember the glorious deeds which they had accomplished in his company, and under his direc tion. All this, we say, was very significant. It clearly implied how delighted he would be to meet them in active service, and how confidently he could calculate upon their again confiding in him as their commander. But how all this can ever consist with the vaunted principle on which he consolidated his present position, on the throne of France, that "the Empire is peace, of course we cannot be expected, in reason, to under stand. One thing, however, is evident,—that such 1 1 : Man ) in such A p os iti on , must b e c l osely watche d, a 0 tinent
