THE DAY'S NEWS Our columns this morning contain the first official announcement of the commencement of the war. A telegram, received last night, from Turin, dated Thursday, conveys an official Sardinian bulletin, reporting that the attempt of the Austrians to effect the passage of the Po, at Frassivetto, commenced on Tuesday, the cannonading lasting fifteen hours was re-commenced on Wednesday afternoon, and lasted for the remainder of the day. The Piedmontese had only a few men wounded, whilst the loss of the Austrians is represented as having been severe. The same despatch announces that 4,000 Austrians were at Castel Nova, Servia, on Wednesday. The cor respondent of the Daily News asserts, ye tively, that France is about to mobilise, between 700,000 and 800,000 men, and that the French army on the Rhine will amount to 500,000 men, as the Emperor does not believe that Germany will remain quiet. The same correspondent further asserts, that on the day the Emperor leaves Paris, he will address a solemn manifesto to Europe, espousing the cause of nationalities pose . A letter from Marseilles says that almost all th° steam navigation companies have supplied the government with ships for the transport of troops . The same letter states that two regiments of light cavalry, destined for Italy, had arrived with out their horses, and would be compelled to remain some time until horses arrived from Algeria. At the request of the Sardinian Government, the Russian Consul at Venice has undertaken the pro tection of Sardinian subjects. The Emperor Napoleon gave a farewell reception at the Tuileries, on Tuesday evening, to a party of about 650. The other tele grams received earlier in the day, included one from Turin, of Wednesday's date, which reported that, on Tuesday, the enemy commenced a cannonade from the direction of Valenza, but without effect. From Cambio the enemy advanced towards Sala, on the left bank of the Po. Another advance was also made towards Ticino. An ineffectual attempt was made by the Austrian's to cross the Po below Frassi netto. On our side twenty men were killed and wounded. A decree of the King of Sardinia declares the Chasseurs of the Alps, and the other corps of volunteers now forming, to be part of the army. The Paris correspondent of the Herald says : "It is reported that Prince Napoleon is' to command a corps of 25,000 men to be employed by the shores of the Adriatic. A considerable portion of the French artillery has not been able to cross the Alps, owing to the passes being still blocked up with snow." The 21oniteur of yesterday announces, that the Emperor has decided that Austrian subjects may continue their residence in France, and the French colonies, as long as their conduct shall not furnish reason for complaint. The admission of Austrian subjects into French territory, is to be allowed only on special authorisation. Austrian vessels now lying in French ports, or which may enter any French port in ignorance of war having broken out, are to be granted a delay of six weeks to quit those ports for their destination, or to neutral ports. The steamer Indian, from Portland, arrived here yesterday, with 67 passengers, but her advices from New York have been anticipated by the City of Baltimore. The Brazil mails arrived at Southamp ton yesterday. It will be seen by the returns in our columns, that the contest for South Lancashire was decided yester day, by a majority in favour of Messrs. Egerton and Legla, the Conservative candidates. The precise numbers cannot as yet be ascertained, but the difference between the returns on either side is not very considerable. The defeat of the Liberal party is ascribed to various causes—to the want of the protection of the ballot, and in some degree to the fact that, the influence of the leading Roman Catholic families of territorial influence in the county, was thrown into the scale in favour of the Conservative candidates. Distrust of, and hostility to, the Whig party, are assigned to the causes of this movement on the part of the influential Roman Catholics. Last evening Mr. J. B. Lloyd, and Mr. Bold, addressed a large crowd in front of the Queen's Hotel, a few words of exultation over the victory. Ardent admirers of Mr. Egerton's abilities and promise, speak already of the chances of his being called upon to move, or at least second, the address to the Queen in the Commons on the opening of the new parliament, At the Dock Board, yesterday, Mr. Charles M'lver complained of the expense and trouble involved to owners, consignees, &c, by the regula tions of the board requiring returns as to the amount and description of cargoes, and even the measure ments of packages, in order to check the amount of dock dues paid. The chairman explained that some such arrangement was necessary to prevent fraud, which, before its adoption, had occurred to a con siderable extent. He did not, however, see the propriety of requiring the measurements spoken of. Finally, the chairman promised that the finance committee would consider the subject. From the report of the medical officers of health, read at the board, yesterday, it appears that the public health is in a very satisfactory state, the deaths being lower than in any corresponding week for the last ten years, although the temperature was lower than for the last fifteen years, at the same period of the year. OUR PEACE POLICY-ACTING ABOVE- BOARD IT cannot but be a source of great satisfaction to the country---and we believe it will be found an occasion of safety also---that as respects its position with regard to the war that has broken out on the Continent of Europe, and with all the parties to which the country is on terms of friendly relation, there is no mystification, and that her Majesty's Government show no desire that there should be any ; on the contrary, that they appear most anxious that the people should be fully informed of all the circumstances of the case, and that they should be afforded every opportunity of know ing what their Government are doing, and what they intend to do, at so critical conjuncture. There has not only been no concealment on their part, but ever since they have felt at liberty to open their mouths on the subject at all, they have evinced a laudable anxiety to put the country in possession of all the facts of the case, and to communicate fully and unreservedly the policy they had made up their minds to pursue. "It is always the fashion for public men," was the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S declaration on the hustings this week, ." and more especially for those who occupy any public position, such as that which I have at present the honour to fill—to affect or to assume upon questions connected with our foreign politics a great reserve. But I shall not speak with any reserve, because I believe that if ever there was a moment this is one when those who are responsible for the conduct of affairs should address the people without holding back any part of the truth, and that it is of the utmost importance that the people of this country should comprehend what may be the eventual results of the present condition of things." This, then, is a mode of proceeding which ought, at any rate, to be taken as an indication that Ministers are pursuing a straightforward course—that they are acting above-board—that they have no occasion to hide their purpose behind any diplomatic reserva tions ; but that, having a great cause in hand—that of the promotion of the country's peace, and the maintenance of its honour, and seeking to accomplish their object by fair and open and upright means— they court observation rather than shun it, and are not afraid that all the world should know their posi tion and their prospects. The history of the whole case was very plainly, but fairly, stated on the same occasion ; and it is im portant that it should be remembered by us all, if we would wish to be able to understand the issues that will arise. Sardinia, in its political progress, and the aspirations and ambitions which such progress naturally produces, has been brought into rivalry with Austria. Their relative positions were such, that it was no doubt difficult to avoid it. Sardinia was developing a system of free institu tions ; whilst she was surrounded by petty States, under the virtual dominion of Austria, in which an approach towards such institutions would at once be crushed down by a system of absolutism. That rivalries and jealousies, and animosities should arise, amid such a state of things, was, ' we repeat, only natural, however deplorable it may be. But, as well as this, it is to be feared that the King of Sardinia yearned not only to be the instrument of displacing Austrian rule in the contiguous States of Italy, but to be the Power that should supply its place. Single-handed, how ever, he could do nothing. His military resources were so small, in comparison with Austria's, that he had no chance of resistance to her absolute will, no hope of success in his liberal designs, without assistance. "As it was impossible for. Sardinia really to compete with the military force of one of the greatest Powers of Europe, she looked to the countenance and support of an ally who rivals in the strength of her army, and the valour and skill of her troops, anything that Austria could produce ; and thus, from the rivalries and jealousies of France and Austria, a very dangerous condition of affairs has been brought about." It was a temptation to one so ambitious as the Emperor of the French, which was but too readily yielded to. Both of them had, no doubt, very excit ing dreams of Italian acquisition ; and now the opportunity has presented itself for their being realised. One cannot but wish that the liberation of Italy might be achieved; but there cannot be much hope of this, when he whose legions are called forth for the invasion of the Italian States has not yet effected, but, on the contrary, has resisted, the liberation of his own empire. And this is a circum stance, were there nothing else, which might well make England pause, ere she extended her counte nance, let alone her aid, to such an enterprise, in such hands. But the fact is, that there can be no occasion whatever for our having anything to do' with it. And it is fortunate that we have a Government who have so considered it all along ; and who are now I prepared, therefore, to maintain a strict neutrality. And how much better able will the Government be to preserve this country's neutral position, and at the same time be ready for any course of defence that, in the contingencies of the conflict, it may be neces • sary to adopt, from their having acted openly and above-board. " We have striven earnestly and diligently," said Lord DERBY, "to avert the calami ties of war. We hal• e been unsuccessful. War has broken out; and how it may close, no human prescience can pretend to tell. But of this I am quite sure, that whatever our other differences may be, there is a perfect and entire unanimity among all classes of this great community as to the course —the dignified course which this country ought to pursue in the present crisis of foreign affairs." This has been testified to on every hustings in the United Kingdom, throughout the General Election. And fortunately, we say, it is the course which the Gov ernment has happily put the country in a position to pursue, and to sustain. But it will be a difficult course to carry out successfully. And we cannot but feel very deeply the force of the Premier's appeal, when he declares, at so critical a moment,— " I am quite sure that never had men charged with the public affairs of this country greater need of being supported by the confidence, the sympathy, and the good-will of their fellow-countrymen, than have those who are now entrusted with the anxious and heavy task of conducting the Government of this country." • . THE NORTITERN TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1859 THE SEAT OF WAR THE Imperial Manifesto which the Emperor of Austria has addressed to his people, in explanation of the occasion of his going to war, contains state ments, it would be seen, which are very important as elucidating the course of events which have issued in the hostilities his Majesty has been driven to have recourse to, and also as pointing out the precise arena where the sanguinary contest will, to all appearance, be mainly carried on. " I have ordered," he tells them, "my faithful and gallant army to put a stop to the inimical acts which for a series of years have been committed by the neighbouring State of Sardinia against the indisputable rights of my Crown, and against the integrity of the realm placed by GOD under my care, which acts have lately attained the very highest point." And in so doing, he goes on to say, he has fulfilled " the painful but unavoidable duty of a Sovereign," and his conscience being at rest, he " can look up to an omnipotent GOD, and patiently await His award." One cannot but shudder at such an appeal to Heaven, in such a cause ; for however true it may, be that Sardinia has been guilty of the " inimical acts " against Austrian rights imputed to it, Austria has not been guiltless of still more " inimical acts " against Italian rights, or what ought to be considered and respected as such, in her despotic rule in Lombardy and else where. The grudge is of old standing ; and the design it involves may, of course, be taken to be equally so, a design which has probably never been lost sight of, and which is now, we may be sure, more sanguinely entertained than ever. " More than ten years ago," says the Imperial Manifesto, " the same enemy—violating international law and the usages of war, and without any offence being given—entered the Lombardo-Venetian terri tory with the intent to acquire possession of it. Although the enemy was twice totally defeated by my gallant army, and at the mercy of the victor, I behaved generously, and proposed a reconciliation. I did not appropriate to myself one inch of his territory, I encroached on no right which belongs to the Crown of Sardinia as one of the members of the European family of nations. I insisted on no guarantees against the recurrence of similar events. The hand of peace which I in all sincerity extended, and which was taken, appeared to me to - be a sufficient guarantee. The blood which my army shed for the honour and right of Austria I sacrificed on the altar of peace." Such is Austria's case. And yet, his Imperial Majesty declares, " the reward for such unexampled forbearance was immediate con tinuation of enmity, which increased from year to year, and perfidious agitation against the peace and welfare of my Lombardo-Venetian kingdom." We do not quote these passages, however, on this occasion, for the purpose so much of presenting the Austrian justification of the hostilities commenced, as of explaining the situation in which, on this Imperial authority, we may conclude the war will, in the first instance, at least, be carried on. The immediate seat of war, it is evident, will be the vicinity of the Lombardo-Venetian territory of Austria ; and it would seem that very formidable preparations had already been made there. There has been for some time an entrenched camp at Piacenza, on the right bank of the river Po, which the Ticino joins, at Pavia, that seems, to have been lately fortified in order to be made a base of opera tions against Alessandria, if besieged. On the north are Bergamo and Brescia, strong places, but not impregnable, and able to disquiet an army passing them to attack Verona and Mantua, which are the key of the country. This territory, it will be remembered, was the the;:tre of the campaign of 1796, and Austria has accumulates d defences there in the belief that in afutUre war the Same_plan of attack would be followed. On the Tincio, which is only ten leagues from the Lake of Gardo, iii which it ride's, to the marshes that surround Mantua, where it falls into the PO, and which can be forded in several Places, means of defence have been accumulated, and Peschiera and Mantua 'protect its , two extremities. The Adige is in the rear, and flows parallel to the Po for a certain distance. It is perpendicular to it behind the Lake of Gardo from- Verona to Legrano, a length of 'fifteen leagues. It can nowhere be forded, and its banks, on the side of Verona, are covered with gardens and vineyards, and those on the side of Mantua with rice-fields and marshes. The road from' Verona to Legrano runs between the Adige and a canal ; and an army placed within the -square--formed by- Pesehiera, -Mantua, Verona, and Legrano, protected by the water which is found on the east and west, by mountains to the north', and by the marshes to the south, is free in its movements, and can march on any point that may be, threatened. Such is the locality where the Austrian operations have begun. We learn that, some days since, the Austrians were concentrating in great masses at Piacenza, where proclamation had been issued by an Austrian 'Commissioner Extraordinary. They have since occupied Intra, Palanza, and Arona on the Lago Maggiore, the Sa r di n i ans re treating on their approach. Later accounts state that two thousand Austrians occupy Mortara, and 400 infantry and 50 ca,valrY Novara, in Milanese ; and they: have since - - advanced - to Vercelli: . The Austrians in large numbers had quitted Piacenza, and proclaimed a state- of . sjege—proceeding to concentrate their forces on the left bank of the Po. At - the moment of our writing this, great un certainty. prevails as to the actual proceedings of the invading forces of Austria. But we have endeavoured to indicate the probable posifion of their main body. We may add, that while establishing its military 'position on the frontier of Piedmont, Austria has not been unmindful of more distant locations ;' and that on. the Adriatic she has taken the precaution of protecting herself against an attack on its coasts. It is notorious that from the banks of the Po to the frontiers of Istria, the shoreS of the Adriatic are very insalubrious—so lunch so that in some places it is impossible to pass a night without being attacked by fever; aud the sea is shallow to a con siderable distance from the coast. Venice, in' fact, is the only place which can receive vessels oven of a secondary size, and they must enter by passes which are protected by strong forts. But it inmost improbable that the French fleet may make a dash there._ There is Fore_Malghera, however, which 'cannot be approached with impunity by land or water : only it would not avail much, if other inlets were found. A few days more may probably show us what is to be done in these several quarteis. THE COURT Her Majesty the Queen, and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, accompanied by the Princes Arthur and Leopold, the Princesses Alice, Helena, Louisa, and Beatrice, left Windsor Castle at half-past three o'clock on Wed nesday aftereoon, for the_ Windsor station of the Great Western Railway, where a guard of honour of the Scots Fusilier Guards was on daty.

WRETCHED END OF A SEDUCER.—The recent wreck of the emigrant ship Pomona has brought to light one of those dark domestic episodes which would rest far better in the depths of oblivion were it not for the striking instance o f the ultimate fate which follows domestic perCy and crime. For some few years a person named Montgomery carried on business as a passenger broker in Waterloo-road, Liverpool. He had a wife and several comparatively young children. From aloes position in life he had raised himself into comfort able circumstances, and those pas tons which necessity once curbed and held in check sOn broke loose, and the whims and follies of the libertin,',. ; soon subverted paternal love and domestic affection. " t tlucrative business supplied him with money for a time, and he never altered in his career until pressing enMements compelled his absence. Previous to his departure he had, however, contracted an alliance with a young girl, a barmaid at a respectable hotel in Dale-street, Liverpool. He told her he was single, offered his hand, and unfoe.unately she accepted it. Matters were delayed, and, under the guise of paying a visit to the Pomona, he took her on board in the Mersey ; the vessel sailed, and in it the betrayer and the betrayed. He, was not, however, destined to escape with impunity, for the storm which raged along the Irish coast on the night of the 29th ult., drifted the ship ashore near Wexford, and the rite - of the crew and passengers is already too well known to be here recapitulated. Out of the crew and passengers, numbering 407 souls, only 20 escaped, and the day atter the wreck the torn and dilapidated form of Montgomery was tossed on shore, as if the Waters had rebelled against .being tainted by so foul a carcase! TnE ",WHITE STAR," FOR NEW YORK.—IIRTing already noticed this splendid ship in detail, ,we had a look over her in the Bramley-Moore dock, yesterday, and find i h er in a forward state for her voyage. There are many valuable alterations observable since we last saw her, parti cularly in regard to steerage and second-class passengers, whose apartments have been amplified, ventilated, and additional light introduced. Her provisions and other stores are on board, and, As before remarked, are abundant and of the best quality. Few ships have been more sought after, and as she is filling fast; passengers will' consult: their interests to secure the remaining berths as ea r ly as poSsible, so that they may not be disappointed. We observed on the quay, a very large quantity of fine goods sent down for shipment by her. This, in a British ship, is an Unusual circumstance, as. American underwriters always-give a pre ference to their . own, vessels; liut, we presume, the well known merits of this fine ship has induced „shippers to deviate from their usual instructions in this respect.

Mr. Chnrchwarden Cropper was agai n elected unani mously as chairman. The other members present' were— , Messrs. Smith, Owen, Syred, Critchley, Broome, Denton, . and Luff. The medical officer reported that the number of deaths occuring in the establishment during the week' ending May 3'was 29*, of whom 9 were men, 11 women, 1 child, and 8 infants. The total number of sick paupers- in the hospital last week was 603, ' includ ing 58 fever, 15 itch, and 3 smallpox cases. The Master of the, vagrant ' sheds reported that the destitute persons accommodated in this department during the week ending April 30 were.as follows : 118 males, 91 females, 30 children—total 219; showing an increase over last week of 2, and a decrease of 72 when compared with the corresponding week of last year. The Governor's return showed that the number of paupers in the establishment last week was 1,960, number this week 2,018, being an increase in the week of 58. Number in the corresponding week of last year 2,353, showing a reduction of 393 on the year. The business was of a formal character. WALLASEY CommissroNens.--Yesterday evening; a meet ing of this board was held in the Public-offices, Egremont. Mr. Caine presided. The other commissioners present were—Messrs. Pooley, Hughes, Parr, Marshall, Daunt, Holme, Kerford, and Hill. The proceedings of the works and health committee were read by Mr. Pooley. In moving their confirmation, he said they proposed to bring in a small stock of gas fittings, and to take temporary premises as a workshop ; and they proposed to give 'notice to' the inhabi tants that they were now ready to fit up houses with gas, so that the matter might not be delayed until October, when the gas would be ready to be supplied, as there would pro bably be a rush at the time, which they_could not keep up. They also proposed to advertise for 100 street lamps to begin with. They had met with a difficulty in the removal of the sand from the Victoria-road, New Brighton. One _person only had tendered, but it was thought that tender was ex- ' travagantly high. He thought the better way would lie to employ men, with barrows, to wheel the sand away, and_ cover the ground adjoining with marl. Mr. Hill seconded the confirmation of the proceedings. The next bUsiness was the proceedings of the finance committee, which were con firmed without discussion. With reference to the ferries committee, Mr. Pooley said he had received a note from . Messrs. Colbourn's solicitor, and 'he was in London, and had been for some time, and consequently the negotiations in reference to the ferries lead not been concluded. He merely mentioned the matter, that the public might know that no time was being lost. A letter was read from Mr. Cabbage, of Seacombe, complaining of the state of sewerage in that district. The letter was referred to the works and health committees. Mr. Kerford said, the best way 'to remove the sand frpm the Victoria ' road was, in his opinion, to employ (tarts, and have it, carted to the - shore. The Chairman , said, he had a letter from the Coast-guards, - -prohibiting it being put on the shore. A resolution was fi,4,ially come to, that the Works and health committees take steps to have the sand removed, and to prevent its re-accumulation in , future. Mr. Marshall gave. notice of motion to the effect [ that, the use of the board-room ,be given, to the social __ science meeting for the next year, as had been done for the , _ past. Mr. Holme moved, that - the fates Tor the ensuing year be signed and sealed. The board then ,adjOurned to Thursday, 19th instant, when they will elect a ' chairman , for the new board, and such other business as may come before them. His'route SOCIETY. —The members of this society held one of its ordinary meetings, of the Archmlogical section, last evening, in the Grand Jury Room, St. George's Hall. Mr. Mayer occupied the chair. The secretary acknowledged the followin g donations : " The Archmlogical Journal," No. 60, 1858, from the Archmlogical Institute ; " Archoe logia Alliance," new series, parts 1 to 15, for 1856-7 and 1858, from the Society of Antiquaries, of Newcastle-on- Tyne. " Transactions of the London and Middlesex Archmlogical Society," vol. x, part 2, from the society, " Original papers," published under tfle direction of the committee of the Norfolk and Norwich Archmlogical Society, vol. v., part 4. Dr. Hume exhibited a series of drawings made from objects found at Great Meols, near Hoylake, so early as 1817. They are the property of P. B. Ainslie, Esq., of the Mount Guildford. Among the articles exhibited was a beautiful gold ring, apparently for the thumb, and a graceful medimval silver ring, numerous brooches, and several Roman fibula enamelled. Also, two etta-percha impressions of ancient seals. Mr. 11. Ecroid Smith exhibited a number os objects, found since the commencement of the present year, upon the lea shore of Cheshire, westward of Leasowe Castle. As usual, they represent various periods of our history and very diverse uses, the undermentioned being the most interest ing :—A silver penny of Canute the Great, (A.D. 1015- 1036) in the finest state of preservation, the obverse bearing the filletted head and bust of Canute, with his sceptre in front, inscribed "Cnut. Rex," on the reverse was a voided cross, with " Spellem. Mon. Pin." inscribed, showing the coin to have been struck at Winchester. It is the fifth piece of this monarch which has been found here since the antiquities have been preserved. A ring-brooch in silver, of about the same period exhibited, the by no means common semi ornamentation being chased only on one side, with an elegant spiral design. A massive ball of red granite, five inches in diameter, would appear to have either been a projectile from the catapuleta of the ancients, or a bullet formed for our early English ordnance. Dr. Hume announced that he had entrusted in his possession an ancient book, the pedigree of which could not be doubted, but which would enable him to publish a directory of Livexpool for 1708. Considering that the earliest date of Gore's Directory was 1766, they would thus be able to anticipate it upwards of half a century. At that time the rates were not collected at regular dates, but at irregular periods. This book gave the names of the persons in the streets, the value of the property, and other useful informa tion. Nothing, he feared, could be done with the book this session ; but he hoped to bring the matter prominently before them in the early part of next session. The paper for the evening was " A Sketch of the Early Origin and History of the Blue-coat Hospital, in this town ;" by J. R. Hughes. The paper being read, a conversation took place on the subject, after which the meeting separated. The seizure of Austrian vessels in the port of Genoa, without due notice, is considered an extraordinary proceed ing. England and France, on the declaration of war against Russia, gave the enemy's vessels six weeks for their departure. Sir Moses Montefiore has not been able to obtain an audience of the Pope, but he has presented his memorial to Cardinal Antonelli, who said that the Mortara case must be considered as closed. He however promised that the child, on coming of age, should be free to follow what course he chose, 0 SOTH LA_NCASIII U ELECTION.
