The LiVerpeol Railway Share Market was very
dull, owing in some measure, no doubt, to the!
depression in Consols. In most instances rather
lower prices were accepted where sales were
effected. Canadian Shares were particularly
heavy ; Dovers were iii good request, and closed
at an advance of 2s. 6d. to ss. per share one the
opening prices. The settlement of the account in-
dicated very small Contangoos;.ind an exceedingly
limited amount of open contracts. The business

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE:

Monday Evening.

The Market for English securities opened to-day
with an obviously increased heaviness, though the
actual fall in the value of Consols was not more
than d per cent. The business done was small,
and the market was wanting both in firmness
and animation. Consols opened with flatness,
and are now quoted 964 1 for money and account.
Bank Stock has been purchased at 226. Reduced
Three per Cents., 94 ; Five per Cent. Annui-
ties, 110 ; India Stock, 228 and 226 ; the Deben-
tures, 96-ri -} ; and Exchequer Bills, 31s. and
28s. prem. for all.

In the Market for English Railway Shares the
business was limited, and in most instances prices
suffered a decline. Caledonian, Eastern Counties,
Great Western, Midland, and South Western,
are respectively ss. per share lower.
The Market for Foreign Stock also showed
dulness, and in some instances values were depre-
ciatingly affected. Mexican and Spanish are
supported, but Peruvian and Chilian have de-
clined, whilst the Original Turkish Six per
Cents. exhibit a relapse of full 1 per cent. since
Saturday, and the New Sixes have receded to 66
and 65. New Indian Loan is quoted at 103; to
104.

The quotation for French Rentes at a quarter-
past twelve was 69 90, and subsequently 69 85,
with a heavy market.
The Hammonia has arrived off Cowes from
New York, with specie to the value of £38,450
for England, and £40,000 for France. The
Europa, from Boston, brings £60,000 ; and the
Tagus, from the Peninsula, £7,565.

THE MONEY MARKET.

More than £1,300,000 of the proposed issue of
1,600,000 debentures by the East Indian Railway
were subscribed on Saturday.

The Bank return for the past week, showing
the groundlessness of an anticipation of an im-
mediate advance of discount, was calculated to
give increased strength to prices this morning ;

Exchange offers also predominated, leading toa
slight reduction in prices. There was a good
demand for money to-day : 2 per cent. appears to
he the lowest rate for the best paper. Several
establishments refused bills below 22 and 21. A
sum of £4,000 in gold was sent into the Bank to-
day. The £15,000 by the Delta, and the £9,500

by the Armenian were taken for exportation.

CONBIERCIAL.

The Spanish Government have chartered five
steamers at Genoa belonging to the defunct Sar-
dinian Transatlantic Company.
The Admiralty invite tenders for the hire of
three steamers, from 800 to 1,200 gross tonnage,
besides two ships of not less than 1,500 tons
each; the whole to be employed in China.
The Hammonia arrived at Southampton with
mails from New York to Hamburgh, and advices
of the Ist inst. She brings in specie 192,000
dollars for England, and 200,000 for France.
The Daily News says the pressure in commer-
cat-circles in St Petersburg is so severe that the
Minister of Finance has perplitted persons having
to pay duties at the custom-house to lodge rail-
way shares as security, in lieu of cash.' Mean-
while, stock and Aare property is described as
almost unsaleable. The rate of discount has
risen to 8 per cent. The collapse is attributed
to the share mania which has prevailed in Russia
during the last few years, combined with the
widely-ramified paper system amongst manufac-
turers and others.

THE DAY'S NEWS.

The Italian question continues a subject of very
anxious interest, both on the Continent and in
this country. The idea is becoming more and
more prevalent that the Italians must look mainly
to themselves in the struggle that is now going
on for their liberties. If there be one chieftain
who, more than another, is considered likely to
lead them to victory in that struggle, it is Gari-
baldi, who, it is contended, is no mere melodra-
matic hero, as many people suppose, but a military
chieftain of indomitable courage, animated by a
patriotic spirit, which may well excite the
sympathy, and call for the enthusiasm, of his
countrymen.

While all doubt is now removed respecting the

treaties of Zurich, there is still considerable un-
certainty with reference to the constitution of the
Congress that is necessary to ratify them, and
give effect to their provisions for the permanent
pacification, if possible, of the Italian peninsula.
The French Press, on the one hand, would seem
to be getting more and more dissatisfied with the
supposed unwillingness of England to enter into
that Congress; while our own leading journal, on
the other, is decidedly opposed to it—contending
that, " until we know, in plain, frank, undiplomatic
language, what it is which the Emperor of the
French requires," it must be the duty of her
Majesty's Government to stand aloof.

We have now another account of how the case
stands of the proposed Regency of Prince Carig-
nan, for the Central Italian States. It is very
confidently affirmed, that the King of Sardinia
has not refused to allow the Prince Carignan to
accept it, but only expressed his anxious wish to
postpone for awhile his decision on the question.
We give in another column to-day, a statement
respecting the Reserve Force of Royal Naval
Volunteers, which Her Majesty's Government,
with the sanction of Parliament, has determined
on establishing, and to which we would direct the
particular attention of our resident seamen. The
object of this force is to furnish a second reserve
to the coast-guard defence already in existence,
and which numbers at present, we believe, about
eight thousand men. The seamen entering this
body of Naval Volunteers are, of course, to be
trained to the use of arms,—are, we suppose, to
be either coast riflemen or marines, as occasion
may require. Considerable advantages, it
will be seen, are held out to seamen enroll-
ing themselves in the force, independently
of its affording them an opportunity of
displaying their patriotism. We have no
doubt, therefore, that the force will soon
become a very numerous body. Whether the
attendance at drill for twenty-eight days each
year, may be sufficient training, we will not
take upon us to say. Very much will depend
upon circumstances. But, at any rate, as a
Reserve Force, our seamen under such training
can scarcely fail to present a formidable supple-
mental defence on the mask should their active
services at any time be called into requisition.
We notice elsewhere the Report of the Liver-
pool Police Establishment for the year ending
29th of September last, which has just been
printed for circulation amongst the members of
the Town Council. It furnishes, as usual,
a graphic and complete detail of police
statistics, respecting crime in the borough.

A while it certainly testifies to the
efficiency of our Police Establishment, it does not
indicate, unfortunately, much improvement in
the: condition
.of what are called the dangerous
classes amongst us. It is true there has been a
slight decrease in the indictable offences ; but
there has also been a considerable increase in

those acts of violence and disorder in the streets,
public-houses, and in disreputable places of resort,
which imposes upon the' Police some of the most
disagreeable, and often the most dangerous of
their official duties. It does not show any exten-
sion of education among those classes. It
brings out, however, that about one-half of
those who are apprehended for various
offences during the period referred to, were more
or less " educated," as the world accepts 'the
term,—that is, they could read and write with
more or less facility. Upon the whole, however,
they would appear to have been composed of
persons upon whom something more than the
acquisition of mere reading and writing must be
brought to bear, if they are to be rendered less
dangerous, as members of society—less profligate,
and less depraved. Another remarkable fact is
the large proportion of females included in th
returns of those who have committed indictable
offences. Nearly one-half are females, and they
w u i,uieves, that is perions
formerly convicted of, felony ; while, of the
perpetrators of acts of disorder and violence'
nearly six hundred are prostitutes. The report
abounds with materials for very serious thought,
and we shall probably return to it at an early
opportunity.

A meeting was held last night in the Con
cert Hall, for the purpose of establishing
a local branch of the Sunday-school Institute.
The meeting, which was numerously attended,
was presided over by the Rev. Dr. M'Neile, who
made a powerful and touching appeal to the meet-
ing and the public on behalf of the institution.
The meeting was also addressed by several of our
esteemed local clergymen, and many important as
well as interesting facts were pointed out by the
speakers in illustration of the claims of the move-
ment.

IF these repeated representations of the universal
war-feeling in France be correct, we think
there is a moral aspect in which the question
may be viewed, which has, perhaps, not been
particularly enough enlarged upon.

In France we are bidden to gaze with admira-
tion, not unmixed with humility, and mid a buz-
zing and clatter of trumpets blown from their
own throats, upon a people who are in the van-
guard of civilization, and wha have notably
achieved the union between civilization and
religion. It is not that there is here and
there a sublime teacher, and here and there
a celestial philosophy, but the genius of the nation
itself is supersensual, the instinctive turning
of the national mind is into the region of an ele-
vated sentimentalism and a refined morality.
The greatness of its military strength is but the
counterpart of ideal pre-eminence ; and it is only
the inalienable condition of humanity that neces-
sitates the going along of material power of pro-
pagandism with immaterial supremacy. Strip
humanity of these conditions, the philosophy of
idea of the necessity of outward embodiment,
and the French nation would ascend bodily to
the region of pure spirit as the highest type of
sublimated and ethereliased. humanity. The
world, in fact, is represented as waiting for the
kpotheosis, and its interests as suspended upon
the preparatory stages of the divine drama.
Grant it all. Put in no plea against the ex-
travagances of self-laudation; accept meekly all
the depreciation of arrogant and one-sided com-
parisons ; take Frenchmen on their own showing,
and put them on the imaginary pinnacle they
have so grandly and felicitously aimed at, and let
j us ask them seriously whither are they going,
what ideal of human nature are they in danger of
setting up for imitation, and worshipping enthu-
siastically ? Is this war-fever, which we are told
courses through the veins of the French nation,—
which colours and sets flowing the whole life-
blood of the people,—the last effect of long ages
of civilization, the crowning influence which ideal
aspirations, experiences, and achievements have
been long preparing and are now about to
confer ? Yes, the French nation has been long
learning, and meditating in the school of
ideal humanity, and this is the lesson it has at
last deeply engraved on its conscience, this is the
way the learner turns into the teacher, this is
the climax of progressive and internal educa-
tion,—there must be a war with Anglo-Saxon
civilization ; the defeats of history, though not
mixing themselves up in the least with present
relations, or influencing in any way present inte-
rests, must be—avenged. This French reading
of the lessons of history is certainly a surprise to
Englishmen, who profess to have imbibed certain
homely notions about Christianity, moral respon-
sibility-, and the like. history is to be read, not as
the record of God's dealings with mankind, and the
retribution which mortals have brought upon
themselves, but somewhat as the traditions of a pub-
lic school where particular reputations for prowess
have to be sustained, and vicissitudes of defeat re-
gularly redressed. The field of international exer-
tion is a prize-ring, and the highest mission of
civilised peoples is from time to time to ascertain
who shall wear the belt. Now, on the contrary,
