pression of yesterday :

THE MONEY MARKET.

There is still no sign of activity in the Stock Ex-
change. Consols closed with a dull appearance though
scarcely altered in price. In the discount market the
reluctance to take hills at the Bank minimum continues.
A parcel of 15,000 English sovereigns, ex the Phoenician,
was sent to the Bank to-day, but no bullion, was with-
drawn.—Daily News.
The English funds have been without the slightest
variation to-day, and scarcely any business of importance
has been transacted. The telidency, however, seems
towards firmness, and the remarks of the Home Secre-
tary at the Guildhall, last evening, in the absence of
Lord Palmerston, were considered to strengthen the
impression that a corgress on the Italian question will
be arranged, with the stipulation against foreign coer-
cion. There 'was a fall demand in the discount market
to-day, at the Bank rate. Por the best six months'
paper, the lowest charge is 31 per cent. The railway
market has been quiet, hut fairly supported.—Times.

COMMERCIAL.
The Euphrates has arrived from China, with 693,000
lbs. of tea.
The prospect of saving the gold by the Royal Charter
seems to be considered less .favourable, as 50.. guineas
per cent. would be required on fresh insurances at
Lloyd's.
Thn.Tiines, .referring .to the commencement. of the
wool sales last evening, says, foreign buyers were not
numerous; .but there was a good attendance of .the home
trade,. and although the biddings did not. show much
animation, an average advance of d. to Id. per: Ib.
was obtained.

Mr. Frederick Harford, of the Marine Company, has
resigned his post in that institution to accept the ap-
pointment of underwriter to the proposed Ocean. Marine
Insurance Company. Sir Samuel Cunard, the head of
the Cunard Steam Company, and Mr. J. S. Morgan, of
the firm of George Peabody and Co., have joined the
direction.

The Africa bringing no confirmation of the frost
accounts produced considerable disappointment here, and
caused our Cotton market to relapse into its former
state of quietude. The trade who hare now a moderate
surplus stock, have operated less freely, and speculators
again hold aloof, whilst holders, displaying an. increased
desire to progress with sales, have submitted to a decline
of A-d. per lb. on the current qualities of American.
Brazil and Egyptian without change.

The weekly sales are 48,650 bales, of which 3,120 are

THE DAY'S NEWS.

. At' length, it appears, the three treaties of
Zurich have been signed. Of these treaties the
Times tells us that, " they contain a principle
which, if carried out with any integrity, must
prevent anything more forcible than words cross-
ing the. Alps to direct the actions of the 'ltalian
population." So that the Italians ought to be
congratulated upon being at last masters of their
destiny. "And," adds our contemporary, "it
would be their own fault if they did not adjust
their affairs without regard either to the Villa-
'franca promises, or the more solemn acts which
. may have been diplomatically ratified at Zurich."
It is now confidently_ stated, in the political
circles of Paris, that, while the Governments of
France and Austria have agreed to promote the
Meeting of a Congress which will receive-com-
munication of the Treaties of Zurich,- and delibe-
rate on the means most likely to sustain the pa-
cification of Italy on a durable basis, England
will not altogether stand aloof, though she may
not directly take part in such a Congress. " The
great difficulty," says -the lfer ding- 'Herald -of '
yesterday, with reference to this ' object, more
especially in connection with the- question in-
volved in it—" the great difficulty, no doubt, is.the
want of earnestness of all the pciwers principally
interested in the question. To Viance, Sardinia,
and Austria selfish considerations are paramount ;
the' welfare of Italy is only a matter of secondary
concern. England, perhaps the only power 'in
Europe prepared to look at the question impar-
tially, cannot move in the matter as a Protestant
state. What Italy wants is the secularisation of
the Papal Government and strict non-interven-
tion. The jealousy and fear of the French Go-
vernment will not allow it to withdraw its gar-
rison from Rome ; and the Pope will yield no
real reform until he is threatened by the mob at
the Vatican. But if Austria, resolutely keeping
what she has, will consent frankly to abandon
the Holy Father to his subjects ; if France will
bind herself by the same compact, things will
soon right themselves." That is to say, that in
the regeneration of Italy the States of the Church
must not be excluded,—a conclusion,, however,
which must of necessity annihilate the temporal
power of the Pope.
It is interesting to notice, in connection with
these • movements on the Italian question, the
great success which has attended the proposal of
General Garibaldi, of a subscription for a million
of muskets to arm his forces in an efficient man-
ner, , .in order, to carry, out/his great object, of
Italian nationality: and independence. Judging
from the rate at which the subscription is flowing
in, there would seem to be no little doubt now of
the requisite fund being raised. Garibaldi, of
course, intends as soon as his army is fully equipped,
to commence another outbreak, on his own account,
than which, we see it stated, nothing would be
moregratifying to the retrograde party in kustria,
since it would form the best pretext for Austrian
intervention.

The war in Morocco may be said to have com-
menced, notwithstanding the confident hopes that
have been expressed that hostilities might yet be
averted. The blockade of the coast by Spain has
been.begun; and the Moors are preparing for an
energetic resistance.
The overland mail has brought us later intelli-
gence from India and China, but it is not of much
public interest. Among the Europeans in the
military service in India insubordination still
prevailed, and several courts-martial had been held,
resulting in the offenders having had passed upon
'them sentences of imprisonment, which, however,
Were remitted by the Commander-in-Chief.. From,
China we learn that the ratification of the Ame-
rican treaty had produced no change in commer-
cial matters. The Chinese. were repairing and
strengthening the Taku forts, from which it .was.
inferred that they contemplated further resist-
ance. The British Minister remained at Shanghai,
and the Admiral at Loo Kong. All continued
quiet at Canton,, but the tea market there was
depressed.
The final fate of the convict Smethurst seems
again likely to occupy a large, if not an undue
share of public. attention. In some of the
journals • of yesterday it was . stated that the.
sentence of the court had been commuted, and
that a free pardon had been granted
culprit. This, it would appear,
isinaccurate.
The Globe of last night says emphatically, " No
free pardon has been granted, and the case has
, to the
not been disposed of in any way:,

that city to the- 29th ult. ; and from New Yorlc
to the 28th, by telegraph to the 29th. It will be•
seen that our Canadian fellow-subjects still persist,
in believing that His Royal Highness the Prince.
of Wales will visit Canada at the end of May or
in the beginning of June next. During his ex.,
petted visit, it is contemplated to open the Victoria
Bridge across the St. Lawrence.

AMONG the characters which diversify the public-
, scene, without adorning it, perhaps the. most un-
amiable object of contemplation is the political
dissenter. He is a
.sort of moral highwayman
infesting the walks of public life, prowling about
the confines of public institutions, and
,seeking-
what and whom he may devour. We sometimes-
)
wonder, if ever these destructives should attain.
the desolation. of a complete victory, and, if such
a thing were pos lible, entirely exhaust their list
of abolencla, what occupation will they turn to ;
wha-Fivill their list of agenda be eon:tensed
of? We fear that the fanatic zeal of. opposition
would not stand. them in much stead, when the
more sober work of' building up waited their
agency. It is impossible to conceive a more dried-
up, moribund, flaccid,. and exhausted object, than
the political dissenter, who has pillaged, and
spoiled, and ravaged himself out of his occupati°i'
and looks helplessly on the ruin he has caused'
He will find out then, that the world and the
necessities of mankind are far too much for hint'
and how hepeless it is for him to build another
framework of society with as . few blemishes as
the old one., He must needs feed inwardly upon
the feeble remains of his own' life, and mingle
himself with a grim fatality. in the moral ella°s'
which it would be then too late to re-form.
But if; while there is opportunity, this
moral'
highwayman refuses to turn to an honest and •
useful occupation, we have no intention to sit
quietly by, while he most industriously precipi-
tates that time of darkness and confusion, when
neither he nor we shall have an occupation left.
Sad thing it is that he will not allow us urene-
lested to work our work while it is day; nor him'
self try to imitate, at least our good intentions,
in the cause of utility and practical religion.
This is not the hour of the world, nor the crisis
of national life, when the messengers of social and
religious regeneration can spare time to meet the
cavils of the envious, or engage in the strifes Of
faction. Why is it that men cannot find a suffi-
cient field for their most fiery zeal and activity in:
the gigantic and loathsome mass of misery and
evil that festers in the highways and the bye'
ways of the world around them ? Why; but
that they are not conscientious, not unselfish, not
earnest, not real. Is the great mission on the
point of accomplishment because Brother Tony
kins has proposed an anti-church- rate amend
gllointhge
ment in the vestry ? Is the world or the rio
churchpartizans, o r chapelanda'
regenerated because the rector and most of tre

conducive to the moral and spiritual health of th
nation, if the Church were left in the possessioo
of rights, small in the individual instance,. an
pressing heavily on nobody, but large and impor-
tant in- the aggregate, while religionists turned
their attention to the Work upon which she is e°
conspicuously engaged, the provision of religious
and moral ministrations to the poor ?
Yet' this is not the manly and Christian. course
of that cross-grained animal whose habits a
