The Cotton Market to-day was again quiet.
The sales were limited to 6,000 :bales, of which,
1,040' were -for export or taken on speculation.
Concerning the weeks' Cotton /market, Messrs.
George Holt and Co. in their weekly circular
say : —The' COtton market at present is altogether
under the influence of the advices; received from
America, and as these continue most favourable
for a large supply of Cotton, both immediately
and prospectively, the tendency here is to h lONfer
scale pf. prices. The arrivals during, the week,
are on a liberal scale, and ''s.4 there is still
mach Cotton cloSe at hand; which is, 'sure to be
placed upon the market as soon ad landed; par-
tiQ to realise what is in stock before
the quantity to compete with is much increased.
The &Cline in American Cotton generally amounts
to a full td. per lb., the exception being in " fair'
Uph ;ds. thick,.

pression in American Cotton are 'again slightly

and 320 Egyptian are reported to have been taken
on speculation 1,030 Amer.ican, 3,306 Surat,

The, funds ; opened, with a steady
.appearance, and
remained without alteration till late in the afternoon,
when a decline of k per cent. took place. The share
markets were likewise very dull, especially in the after-
noon. The demand for money continues good, though
not pressing, and 21 per cent. is the ordinary rate for
the best bills. No transactions took plaee in bullion at
the Bank to-day.—Daily New,.
The funds•opened steadily this morning,;" but all de-
Reriptions of securities were ultimately hchvyt partly, on
the 'r'ece,ipy3 of ldwer prices from Paris and Vienna, and
partly, it is believed, from a continuance, ot ttuvrealim.
tions usual at the ens .of every year. , The demand for
discount continues rather active, and at Bank the
applications were above the average. In the railway
market the f atnees in the funds caused an unfavourable
feeling, and a decline of 4 to Q. per ' cent. toolvp/iic,,in
nearly all the leading British stocks.-L-- Times.

Searcely so much animation has characterised our market

ceived by the Africk On Monday. , ' Pt'

The more' encouraging reports that have been. conveyed,
lately to our transatiantic buyers will have, no doubt, a
salutary influence on that side,, , We may, therefore, reasonably
expect the next few mails will bring' intelligence of an im-
profed t.Cifie, and Ilias bebeta reflex of, the conmiarative cheer-
fUlness existing here. - -
Meanwhile, the Staffordshire houses are well employed, and
i4Ome of them fall of orders foCklisl iteeks; (The demand for
Bars and Plates has not kept pace with the enquiry for other,
descriptions, and inferior Bar Iron .from other districts is in
many cases supplanting Staffordshire.

This abnormal State of the rade would be speedily removed
by a short continuance of commercial prosperity, which there
are:good reasons for anticipaiing the coming year, unless some.
unforeseen impediment at the approaching European Congress
should mar the opening of 1860, ,Unquestionably 4 ,it will
require all the skill and consummate talent of the various
diplomatists that will take part In it to reconcile the conflict-

-THE NEWS.

What we called the Great Imperial Pamphlet
on the, Popedom, to which we alluded in this
-apartment of our columns yesterday, is naturally
thel subject of eager comment with the, London
press`,'and to some extent with the press of Paris
also. In the latter capital, however, since there is
no liberty of the ,pre4s, there is no freedom in
the remarks that are passed upon the pamphlet.
The •Constitutionner has an article,signed by its
principal editor, approving in general terms of
the `b-rochzire, thobigh intimating, at the 'same
time, an intention to controvert some of its
propositions. All the London daily papers
express a more or less qualified approval of it, and
and it appears to be pretty generally believed
that the restriction of the temporal sovereignty
of the Pope, to the city of Rome would imme-
diately be realised, if the will of the French
Emperor alone could decide the qiiestioi,—but,
as ,it is well observed by, Lord Palmerston's
organ, the Morning Post, "The interests of the
Papacy arc so' 'closely interwoven with those of
the whole Catholic world, that even the resolu,
tuns of the sovereign, by the presence of whose
troops it is only possible for the Pontiff to dwell
in his own caPital, cannot be regarded as claiming
a definite and'final character in the settlement of

a question in which.all Christendom possesses an
equal right to be heard." The pamphlet, how-
ever, is to be regarded as a manifesto of the
French Government, and as such it is certainly
indicative of a great fact—the fact, namely, -
of the Emperor having resolved to pursue an
English •rather than an Austrian policy as
respecta the question of the Popedom.
Several- eirmunstances are combining just now
to give a stimulus, though it is to be feared it
will be only a temporary one, to the. Shipping
Interest. The amount of shipping that has
recently 'been taken up for Military Purposes, by
,our own, the French, and the Spanish Governments,
would of itself have been sufficient to create some
animation in that interest ; but, as well as this,
it is stated that goods are coming forward freely.
for shipment to Australia, Calcutta, and Madras,
and that engagements are being made at improved
rates, and a steady business doing' in other res-
pects... Yet, whether even with such improve-
ment, the business will be reallyprofitable to the
British shipowner, in the present position of our
shipping, map perhaps admit' of quesifon.
The. Paris papers: appear to have been consi-
derably agitated by the violent attacks made
against the project of the Suez Canal, which have
appeared this week in Lord Palmerston's morning
organ.. In connection with suchia; subject as this
it is unfortunate 'that: the First Minister of the
Crown 'should • have such an 'organ for such
attacks. The Paris journals . complain of their
extreme ;injustice{ and gross
,misrepresentation.
The Debeted says, that "the violence of language
and haughty provocative time will be judged of
as ther merit, not only -in France, and on the
whele.Continentrbut in England itself." It is well
that England is included, because-it shows that we
are mOt held,re.sponAtie as athati3Oli tof offence
wlifptinaY thug have been given to the French.
The ,Paris Papers, one and all;' persist in denying
thatthere is any just ground, on the part of Eng-
land.,of objection to,this Suez Canal project; and
'this, being the case, of course the motives of our
own journals, in attacking it, rsre concluded to be
anything but fair and h ono:a rable'.. -
Three seats in Parlip
Ament have become vacant
within tholast firw days, namely, one for Lewes,
by the death Q. Mr. Fitzroy ; one for Reading,
by the Prr.abtion to the bench of Mr. Keating ;
and one for,Forfarshire, by the succession to the
Peel'itge of Lord Duncan, on the death of
Plther; Lord Camperdown. The two former:
Seats, we believe, will be contested, since it is con-.
sidered, the occasion offers an opportunity ' of
•re4Cuing them from the hands of the Liberals.
Every seat that can be gained is now of vital
importance to the interest of the Constitutional

Mersey Ferries. The writer does not trouble
himself with the vexed question of their present
management, but proceeds at once to point out
how it is quite possible to prevent such.most in-
-convenient detentions of passengers as have re-
cently occurred, owing to the suspension of the
traffic on account of the fog. His proposal
certainly, appears to be a very' feasible one.
But, at any rate, it is a subject that cannot be
too thoroughly, ventilated; and one remelt' of its
occupying, as it. now does, so • large a share of
public attention, ought surely to be to induce the
Commissioners to spare no pains in having some
means devised, by which any such obstructions
to the.femes,_ as .have recently occurred, may in
future be avoided.

IT might be curious, in one sense, to see how
this arbiter gentium, LOUIS NAPOLEON, with all
his great and far-reaching motivos, and cun-
ningly devised machinery, achieves only com-
promises. To the timid spectator it may be a
relief to find that after all he is only mortaJ;
and that his rough-hewn ends are shaped by the
power of circumstance just as those of other and
less pretentious potentates. In fact, we never
have a better opinion of the honour or the state-
manship of Louis NAPOLEON, than when he
frankly accepts that practical solution of his
difficulties, which" he cannot really 'escape from
by struggling or scheming. This man of the
world cannot have so long lived in the system
he aspires to yule, as not to have learnt
the secret of reconciling his destiny with
the homely maxim which enjoins us not to
run our heads against stone walls. Tke highest
lesson of practical statesmanship is to conquer
the "situation," by judiciouSly yielding to it.
To a large extent it is probable that Lows NA-
POLEON may turn out in the end conqueror of the
Italian situation ; but we have seen fOr six monthS
that his guidance is derived from something far
other and lower than that Socratic demon who is
supposed to preach to him.his destiny. The im-
mediate issue" of the Italian war was a compro-
mise, effected solely, by circumstances. Nor did
men quarrel so much with the meagreness of
this result, as with, the, pompous anneuneeMent
of which it was the abortive sequel. The
Emperor's fault is, that he does himself in-
justice. Perhaps, if his famo rested only on
his acts, and were not judged by his own
inflated standard, he would gain more credit asn
an achiever of successful results. From the

imaginative heights where he mapped out an
Italy_free from the Alps to the Adriatic, to the
hard, practical ,level where the,peace of Villa:
franca interposed a thick wall to his aspiring
intentions, the fall was 'too great for the gmost
elastic reputation. Yet he. has only himself 'to
blame for ascending such a giddy 'height in the
first instance, when modest- not only the most
becoming but the safest course. The glory of an
epigram, and the sublimity of a sentiment,' are
seldom .fit tests by which to judge the actions
even of the greatest of mankind. And the greater
LOUIS NAPOLEON makes himself as an epigram—
matist and sentimentalist, at so much the lower
level by comparison will the world rate him as a
warrior or a statesman. ..-• •

was the publication of the imperial pamphlet on-
the temporality of the Pope. It was not issued

for his ludicrous anticipations of superiority to
them. It must be admitted that it is- a sharp
descent from " destiny" to " compromise." That
it is an unpleasant confession for the man of des-
tiny to make, that it requires after all no CD:anus
to read the true causes and motives of his past,
nor the chances and likelihoods of his future.
But we are sure that Louis NAPOLEON would
earn much more respect for his position and mach
more credit yor,
,his professions, if he would come
out of him gaudy mystic cloak of destiny, and lint
on the every day dress of other men.. Does his-
tory record any achievement of war or any stroke
of 'Jolley of which the' end was not sooner or later
compromise ? Nay, the forms of society, the sys-
tem of government, the conduct of national. or
international affairs,, is a compromise. Even ,the
whole moral and material 'life 'of man, even
the organisation and adaptation of the Church,
of Christ itself, is at present only a system of
compromise, <often clumsy, and never achieving a
complete and perfect purpose. Let Louis
NAPOLEON be honestly content to be a. com-
promiser.
Thus the question which agitates Europe we
have got, or are getting, at a more manageable
distance. It is, as all men know, the Pope's, car-
riage which really stops the diplomatic way, and
the best means at hand are to be used to find a
convenient stable where it can be put up, to be
drawn forth only on state occasions, and as a
spectacle in the procession of sovereigns, much
as the equipage of an absent grandee at a mar-
riage or. a funeral. Men have been trying their
hands at the Roman question, now timo out of
mind, and find it as inexplicable as ever. The
Pontifical Government has been for a weary num-
ber of years nothing but a dead weight upon
the European system, nothing but ,an in-
terference with higher and holier ob-
jects, nothing but a standing reproach to
the religion with which it, is identified. Philo-
sophy and experience have both been exhausted
to prove whether, another alternative is possible.
They have both given an unimpeachable verdict in
the negatiye. Either witness alone Might rbe
open to the charge of mistake and impoiny
in the case of the one, or of unfairness and Ike-
' sumpticm in the case of the other. Together,
they are irresistible ; and are entrenched im-
movably behind the alliance of logic and fact.
