You are aware that I have always entertained the opinion that the choice of the Councillors of a Ward is a matter which should rest entirely in the hands of the Electors. I should, therefore, net have intruded myself upon your notice had I not been requested to solicit your votes at the ensuing Election. The invitation was conveyed to me by a deputation from a highly respectable meeting of the Electors of the Ward, and in a manner se gratifying to my feelir gs that I have great pleasure in accepting It. You have always pursued the dignified course of exacting no pledge from me on any subject whatever. I hope I have not abused the confidence you have placed in me, and that 1 may, without presumption, assume that my conduct, to a certain extent at least, has met your approbation, or I should not have had the flattering orhich is the cause of my now addressing n have been brought before note all those which compliment you.

WILLIAM EARLE, Abercromby-square, October 17, 1856, TO THE BURGESSES OF EVERTON AND KIRKDALE `YARD. GENTLEMEN, AVING had the honour to receive an influen tial and numerously signed Requisition, asking me to offer myself as a CANDIDATE at the approaching Municipal Elec tion to represent your interests in the Town Council, I feel that, in being thus called upon, at a time when municipal questions of mag nitude and importance are pending, I should be doing violence to a sense of duty if I refused to piace my services at your disposal. Having spent my life amongst yon, and bring engaged in mercan tile pursuits, I cannot but feel a deep interest in all that concerns my native town, and especially that cipstrict of it in which I fixed my residence for a number of years. Though hitherto abstaining from active interference in public matters, I trust that I have been neither an uninterested spectator of the mistake s,-struggles, a. d triumphs which have marked the onward progress of this great community, nor indifferent to the lessons they convey. Jealous of existing anuses and defects, I am sensible ho - or much remains to be do, and am ghtforw essed with alarm ;rate our Town D would undermine and bat all private proper) aid In re.isting to the Test r iiturb th neva that wi nt of energy of a party to s which, in my judgment, 'orporate, .

To aid in bringing this inestimable blessing within reach of the poorer clas,es of this ward, has been for years past the object of rny personal efforts and solicitude ; whilst all that can contribute to promote the social, moral, and religious progress and well-being of the community, and elevate it to a higher and happier position, commands my warmest sympathies. Should you elect me one of your Representatives, it shall be my constant endeavour to discharge the duties of the trust faith fully, and to the best of my ability, and I remain, Gentlemen, Your dient Servant, JOHN JOHNSON STITT 4elmont Grove, October 16, 1856. TO THE ELECTORS OF LIME STREET WARD. GENTLEMEN, nAVING received a REQUISITION, signed by upwards of 300 of your body, in the unprece dented short space of two days, requesting me to offer myself as a CANDIDATE at the ensuing MUNICIPAL ELECTION, to repre sent your Interests in the TOWN COUNCIL, I am induced at once to accede to the request so made, and to place my services at your disposal. . _ Never was there a period, in the history of the Borough, when interests so great demanded the careful attention and best judg ment of your Representatives—whether we refer to its rapidly increasing c .mmerce and populati,n, to the increased responsibility devolving upon the Corporate Exchequer, trom the purchase of the Birkenhead Docks; or, to the envy which our deserved success appears, unf rtnnately In my opinion. our lave created elsewhere own Dues has been most unfairly and unjustly attacked, and the attempt which has been made to confis cate such property, when held by Corporations, and yet to maintain the same title as sacred, when held by private individuals, appears to me n:t only absurd, but iniquitous. f !As Ratepayers, Gentlemen, the trade of the port must necessarily demand her first considerations, and, to give every possible facility to our rapidly growing commerce, is obviously our first duty To this end, I consider that unnecessary elongation of our Docks should be avoided, and that the inland concentration of these should be our tudy. If elected to the C little delay as possible, what it is that constitutes the C Estate, with a view to its improved revenue; for I deem it to be a deplorable fact, that no one gentleman in the Council Chamber pos sesses this knowledge; nor does it appear that our princely-paid officials are any better informed upon this subject than are our Councillors and Aldermen themselves, as is proved by the circum stance, that Mr. Robertson Gladstone moved for this information more than twslve months ago, and it is notyet forthcoming. ur to asce I have been no inconsideiable Ratepayer'in your Wardfor nearl: a quarter of a century your interests and mine, therefore, as Rate rs, must necessarily b pa On s eral occasions you ha was at my dis , reused a wish that I should hitherto I have considered sufficient charge of dut the faithful dis lsible, and have felt con. so onerous and r,s strained to decline t is your pl cure to elect me, on the Ist November next, to serve as one of your Representatives, I shall be proud to undertake the duties which the office will impose upon me, and to discharge them to the test of my abi.ity.—l am, gentlemen, yours respectfully.

At home we are labouring under the discouraging influence of an unexploded monetary crisis, the final result of which, the very best informed, or most pertinacious of currency r( )rmers, can give but crude and undigested ideas. Abroad, the political horizon betokens anything but peace. Affairs in Naples continue to puzzle the diplomatists of Europe. Russia and Cir cassia are in arms, and, according to late advices from Constantinople, Sefer Pacha has already gained two victories over the Russians in Circassia, and took from them about 800 prisoners and twenty-one guns. Again, the battle of parties in the United States is as fierce as ever. The Slavery contention, and the Presidential Campaign, are inseparably connected, and bid fair to render assunder the political chain which binds the North to the South. In this state of affairs it is pleasant to witness the anxiety which many parties, high in station, and commanding in influence, manifest for the extension and promotion of the education of the people. The Lord Bishops of Lichfield and Soder and Man have been addressing a public meeting on the subject in Lichfield, and urging in earnest terms the paramount importance of the question, taking care of course to argue that, as a State, they were bound to prefer that system which would teach the millions in the principles of the Established Church. Alluding to the Church, suggests a remark or two respecting the late ecclesiastical appointments. According to all we can learn, there is something irregular, if not positively wrong, about the appointment of Mr. French to the Deanery of Westminster; and there are a couple of rumours afloat to explain how it was he lost the Bishopric )f Gloucester, notwithstanding the advocacy and journal „port of the "leading One version of the affair is, that the Prenner made the appoint ment, but either forgot or wilfully omitted to con sult the Queen. who felt indignant at the slight thus passed upon her. She, therefore, refused to ratify the nomination, so that Dr. Baring was the lucky aspirant. On the other hand, it is said that Lord Ashburton, by some understanding or another, had been promised the see and would not give way. Whilst a third version is, that pious Lord Shaftesbury so played upon the feelings of Lady Palmerston as to the Puseyitical leanings of Mr. French, that she induced her lord to cancel the nomination. Truly such tales are a scandal upon the church, and argue with irresistable force for its separation from the State. If a ” Right Rev. Father in God " cannot be created without such political intrigues and petty coat influence, the sooner that separation is effected the better will it be, not only for the Church itself, but the nation at large. We have elsewhere alluded to the case of prac tical joking at Brighton. Lord Ernest Vane figures prominently in the affair. Opinions may differ as to whether Cornet Ames was not better fitted for the millinery business than for the army; but that persons assuming the title of gentlemen should be allowed to cut off the whiskers from one side of a fellow officer's cheek, feed him with pap, slap him behind like an infant, melt his candles, and water his bed, and all this, as it would appear, because he would not join in vice and extvavagance, may be too much even for our army administrators to tolerate. The affair is under the orders of the Horse Guards, and we hope sincerely that the Royal Duke, who now presides over the army, will be nothing lothe to punish the authors of an outrage, unpardonable in every sense of the word. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has been enjoy ing the hospitalities of the nobility of Ulster, and in every town through which he passes the people come forward to greet him, headed by men of local influence, who all, with one voice, bear testi mony to the prosperity of the country, and the improved condition of the masses. His Excel lency heard the same pleasing story in the South and West, and as all parties have joined in it without a dissenting voice, we must conclude that this testi mony is true, and not proceeding from the spirit of adulation. The Lord Advocate of Scotland. look ing at the capital of Ulster with a fresh eye, and comparing it with other cities which he had recently visited, spoke in glowing terms of its prosperity. He said to the Belfast people, in his able and eloquent lecture, that he found their river crowded with shipping, he saw mills rising on every side, and he enquired what were the ends, responsibilities, and probable results of all that wonderful increase of wealth and commerce ? But it is not merely from the addresses to the Lord Lieutenant, or the replies of his Excellency, or the testimony of visitors, that we know the country has improved rapidly since the great crisis through which it has passed since 1846. The progress of the country is demonstrated by the statistics of agriculture and of commerce, and of education, and of pauperism, and of crime. All the tests that can be applied to the social condition of a nation give the same result; industry revived and healthful, trade flourishing, and society advancing. Continental matters as usual, are not satisfactory. Neapolitan affairs are still guess work. From any thing we can learn, the missions of both the French and English will be a complete failure, and King Bomba be left to play on unheeded his despicable tricks of tyranny and inhumanity. The last accounts from Naples inform us that his Majesty is still at Gaeta, and apparently still bent on resistance. Great quantities of ammunition have been taken to St. Elmo, and not a day passes in which we do not witness signs of military prepara tion. The public works at Ischia have been suspended, and 200 prisoners transferred from P_ a Gaeta rocid haas to been Portici,ne as a precautionary measure. battalionar ed of moafny militaryo f its useless cadets. hands, liv hie among others of preparations are thus being for resistance to Majesty i ma ginary dangers, hi s sty affects to laugh a t the Western Powers, andi totr Royalistsedaat y themadop adopt the with it i h t h e utmost contempt.

To political agitation has been added considerable alarm, created by two violent shocks of earthquake. The shocks were horizontal, and extended all along the coast. Bells rang, doors opened and shut, crockery rattled, and so great was the alarm that many persons, and among them his Royal Highness the Count of Syracuse, passed the night in their carriages or in the streets. So also did the inhabitants of Sorrento. In the afternoon of the day of the shock there was a religious procession, in which the Madonna was carried in state along the Magellina, in order to secure her assistance against the dangers of another shock." _ . . From Constantinople we learn that the Porte is sending troops to Trebizond. The situation of the Ministry was very embarrassing, in consequence of the difficulty of satisfying all the foreign influences. M. Thouvenel and M. de Prokesch had both sent in protests, the former against the annulment of the Magnan concession, and the latter against the regulation for the dues to be paid for keeping up the lighthouses. No positive decision had been come to on the subject of the Bank of Constanti— nople. Sir C. Young had arrived at Constantinople from England by the Caradoc, to invest the Sultan with the insignia of the Order of the Garter. Austria refuses, to pay the dues levied for the maintenance of a lighthouse at the Suliva mouth of the Danube, on the plea that she was not con sulted respecting its establishment. We hear little fresh intelligence from Madrid. As to the new Ministry, it is at present useless to speculate, except that we may shortly expect to hear of the revocation of the partial privileges con ceded by the Queen under O'Donnell guidance. Upwards of one hundred bakers of the capital bad waited on the constitutional alcades to represent that they would be obliged to raise the price of bread ; the civil governor, considering this act a coalition, caused seven of the more influential bakers to be arrested, and ordered for trial. M. Pastor Diaz, M. Rios Rosast and M. Collado, Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Interior, and Public Works, had received the grand cross of the order of Charles 111. The General Company of Credit in Spain had obtained the concession of the rail way from Cadiz to Puerto Real. Just Published, - - A Pamphlet, entitled "A Few Words respecting the Teeth."

DOUBLE ITS PRESENT SIZE. The patronage and support hitherto accorded to the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, has rendered it necessary for the Proprietors to enter into arrangements for its speedy Permanent Enlarge- ment to Double its present size. Until this is effected, Double Numbers will be issued whenever a pressure of news, or an influx of advertisments, shall render it necessary. In making this an nouncement, the Proprietors, grateful for the flat tering encouragement they have already received, avail themselves of the opportunity to state that they will spare neither pains nor expense to render the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES the most accurate and earliest authority upon all matters of news — Political, General, Monetary, Commercial, and Maritime. The new arrangements, when com pleted, will impose upon the Proprietors the necessity of ceasing to supply extra Slips to Subgcribers, but no increase will be made in the rate of subscription, which is now 395. per annum. NORTHERN DAILY TIMES OFFICE, 19, South John Street. THE COURT In our early edition of yesterday, we gave details of th e return journey of the Royal Family up to the hour of the train leaving York, and now present to our readers the concluding f ortion of the trip up to the arrival at Windsor. The Royal Party left Holyrood Palace at half-past seven this morning, and travelled by a special train of the Great Northern Railway to London, and proceeded from thence by the North London, the London and North Western, the North and South Western Junction, and London and South Western Railway to Windsor, and arrived at the Castle at a quarter before eight. A guard of honour from the Coldstream Guards, with the band of the regiment, was at the Windsor Railway station. BURSTING OF A STEAM ENGINE, AND LOSS OF FOUR LIVES DARLINGTON, Thursday Evening.—This afternoon a locomotive engine exploded at Bolhow and Vaughan's Iron Works, Middlebro'. The engineer of the works and three men were killed. THE PEOPLE'S CONCERTS, ST. GEORGE'S HALL We would again remind our readers that the third of Mr. Reynolds' Saturday Concerts for the Million takes place at St. George's Hall this evening, and, from the programme issued, we have no hesitation in reiterating our remarks of yesterday. Mrs. George Holden is to give the " Echo Song," and that enchanting musical composition, " Sweet Mary, a cushla ma tree." They who know —and who in Liverpool does not ?—Mrs. Holden's excellent voice, the correctness of her articulation, and the feeling manner in which she executes the most difficult musical passages, but must be certain that she will not fail to attain a general encore. "Revenge," a splendid song, is to be given by Mr. Armstrong, a gentleman whose qualities as a bass singer are universally acknowledged. Mr. Haigh, we observe, is to sing a " Romance of Infantile History,' a la John Parry, and the scena of "The Wolf," while Miss Hiles will give " Sweetly o'er my senses stealing." In addition to all this, there is to be a splendid Tromboni Quartet. We have noted enough of the pro gramme. It is worthy the Nobilities' Concerts of London, and will, we hope, be duly appreciated and patronised by the people of Liverpool at large. Dr. James Craig, of Birkenhead, has been appointed surgeon and agent to the Royal Navy, for Liverpool. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.—PITT-STREET WARD.—We have heard that Mr. Haylock, biscuit manufacturer, has been invited to contest the representation of Pitt street Ward, and has consented to come forward. SUDDEN DEATH AT BIRKENHEAD.—Mrs. Manning, an elderly lady, 74 years of age, expired suddenly at her residence, Birkenhead, on the 13th instant. The deceased lady had been some time in a precarious state of health, and an inquest was held on the body the same evening, when a verdict of " Natu-al death" was returned. ST. SILAS' WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIATION.—A very warm discussion took place on Thursday evening , in the rooms of the above useful association, on the question—" Who was the greatest of British Poets ?" Mr. Joseph Lust opened in favour of Shakspeare, and Mr. George D. Stephen in favour of Milton. On the vote being taken, the numbers stood thus—Shakspeare, 29 ; Milton, 12 majority, 17. CUSTOMS' APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS AT LIVER POOL.—To be boatman—Mr. Edward R. Maltby. To be tidewaiters—Messrs. George Barry, David Hamilton, John Maguire, and James O'Regan. Promoted—Mr. William Robbins, from second to first-class tide -surveyor; Mr. William Harris, from third to second-class tide-surveyor ; and Mr. Josh. Gould, from fourth to third-class tide surveyor. PRESENTATION.—Capt. WlCirdy, of the Champion of the Seas, has been presented by a number of his saloon passen gers with a valuable gold watch, of :the manufacture of Mr. j, R. Cameron, South Castle-street, bearing the following inscription :—" Presented to Captain John M'lCirely, as a mark of esteem, by a few friends, saloon passengers by the Champion of the Seas from Melbourne to Liverpool, 14th October 1856." " THE NEW SAFETY INKSTAND, we can bear personal witness to, secures to all classes one which will keep the ink always clean and good. will prevent that accumulation of oxide which spoils the finest writing, and destroys the best pen ; by means of this inkstand, too, the amount of ink taken up by the pen can be easily regulated." — Portsmouth Times and Naval Gazette.—Sold by all Book sellers.

EVANS'S, DAWSON-STREET. —By advertisement in another cotumn, it will be seen that glees and madrigals may be heard nightly at these rooms ; and, from the talent engaged, and the respectable manner in which the whole establishment is conducted—nothing being allowed to offend either sight or hem iug—uo doubt Mr. Evano will continue to reap that share of public patronage which has been for so long a period bestowed upon him. ARRIVAL OF A PERUVIAN MINISTER IN LIVERPOOL. — Yesterday, at three o'clock, His Excellency Don Gaso Ramires De Concha, Peruvian Minister, arrived from Lon don. In the evening, his Excellency visited the Royal Amphitheatre • and, curious enough, sat in the ne xt seat to the Chilian Admiral, We understand the object of his Excellency's visit is the purchase of steamers for his Govern ment, whilst the Chilian Admiral is here on a like mission. Mr. Edwards, we observe, has retired from the secretary ship of the Liverpool Waiters' Association. The reasons for this step will be found in an advertisement is another column. We understand Mr. Edwards does not intend to abandon the project. He purposes opening a Registry office for female servants, to which he will attach a librar y , and other advantages, of social and moral character. Mr. Edwards will be glad of any assistance which the ladies of Liverpool can render him, in perfecting his scheme of a Servant's Registry, free of all the defects and abuses of the present existing system. SUSPICIOUS DEATH —On Thursday, an inquest was held at the Black Horse Inn, Standish, before Mr. M. Myres, on the body of J. Reynolds, a collier, 23 years old. Ann Bannister, deposed, that she saw the deceased on Saturday night, about halt-past six. He left the house to go to Wigan. He had, that night, received about £4 in wages, out of which he had some expenses to pay. He was quite sober when he left her house. Witness had had an illegiti mate child by deceased, and he, on the night in question, paid her 3s. towards its maintenance. J. Speakman, deposed, that he was near a bridge on the railway,when, in consequence of what had been told to him, he went to look underneath the bridge, and there found the body of the deceased, lying upon the ground. He turned over the body and found some blood upon the forehead. The bridge is about ten yards high, and has no battlements at the side of it. No person has any right upon the bridge, but people occasionally made use of it as a footpath. He left the deceased's body where he found it, and gave information to the police. A police officer subsequently examined the body, and found in deceased's trous ers p ocket pair of shoes and stockings, a set of child's beads, and a tobacco-box. He had a cap upon his head, and his clothes were not torn or ruffled. J. Tickle, collier, was next examined, and the jury returned a verdict of " Found dead." --LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING. Notwithstanding the stringent state of the Money Market, arid the fact that the Bank of England was compelled to give the " screw" another turn, although not in the rate of discount, namely, a determination to altogether refuse advances on Government Securities, Exchequer Bills excepted; this decision implies that the resources at the com mand of the Bank of England are altogether unequal to the requirements of the Stock Exchange, in addition to the ordinary and legitimate require ments of trade. It will require a few days to elapse, ere the full effect of this additional measure of restriction will manifest itself. Meantime, the general appearance of the money market is of such a discouraging character as to require the utmost caution in every quarter, since it Is totally uncertain when and what further mea sures of monetary restriction will be adopted. Had it not been for the causes indicated above, we should, in all probability, have had a somewhat excited Cotton Market. In the early part of the week it was stimulated by the continued advices from America of a discouraging rvt`ure respecting the growing crop, and large sales took place at extreme sates; siubsequently, however, owing t the stringency of the Money Market, business has been checked, and less animation apparent. Prices, notwithstanding, continue firm, and the rates current this afternoon do not differ materially from those quoted in last Friday's circulars. The weeks transactions amountto 73,000, of which47,ooo were American. The sales included 14,250 on speculation, and 8,060 for export, leaving to the trade 50,690. The estimated stock of all descriptions are put down at 553,340 bales, against 493,920 at same date in 1851. This year the average quantity taken weekly for consumption has been 41,500 bales, against 40,180 to same time in 1855—being an increase weekly of 1,320 bales, of which 450 are American. The Committee's quotations for fair cot ton are the same as last week, viz., 61d for Uplands, 68d for Mobile, and 71c1 per lb for Orleans. At the same time last year, they were-51d for Uplands, 61d for Mobile, and fild for Orleans. The market Debit. Proprietors' ea- to-day was steady, and sales to the extent of 8,000 bales were effected, of which 2,000 were taken for speculation and export. We should have previously remarked that the imports this week were 25,766 bales, making a total of 2,065182 bales, against 1,770,304 to same date in 1855. Although monetary matters are so unsatisfac tory, there is, if anything, more confidence on the Liverpool Stock Exchange. To-day, the market opened in actively, but afterwards improved, and closed with a steady feeling. The following were the closing rates as officially reported—Aber deen, 134 13?- 4 ..

Trieste Pete' sburg Madrid Barcelona Seville .. According to advices which we have received from London, there was an exceedingly brisk demand for discount accommodation yesterday, and this morning there is a continuance of the pressure, consequently the measures recently adopted by the Bank of England, by which it can husband its resources, are proved to have been well advised. Having the interest of the commercial community in view, the directors have nothesitated in limiting their accommodation to the speculative public and the holders of stock in general ; but the step taken yesterday of refusing to grant advances on stock, Exchequer Bills excepted, is not likely to be attended with much embarrassment on the Stock Exchange. The joint stock banks, however, who hold stock to a large extent, and have hitherto obtained advances on them when necessity re quired, will, perhaps, be subjected to temporary inconvenience, but not to a serious extent, as they can easily resort to the market and effect sales. The opinion is still expressed that an issue of notes of small denomination will have to be adopted both by the Banks of England and France, but in times like the present all kinds of plans are suggested, to which little attention should be paid. The same idea was promulgated towards the close of last year, when money commanded quite as high terms as at present. In consequence of a disposition on the part of operators to specu late for the rise, and the continued purchases on account of the public, the Funds are firm, with a buoyant market. Consols for Money were done at 91 913 ; for the 6th November they ruled at 911, 91g. The Three per Cents. Reduced are 898 90 ; and the New Three per Cents•, 90 90t. Later in the day there was a continuance of purchases of stock for investment, and several large parcels have been taken off the market. About 50,0001 was bought in one operation this morning. The Funds, there fore, were firmer, and Consols about 91 to 911 for Money, and 918 to for Account. The New 1 hrees were 90 to 901, but Exchequer Bills were depressed, being is dis. to 4s prem.

On the Paris Bourse, yesterday, the French Funds opened with great buoyancy, and made a further recovery during the day of if 25c in the 41- per Cents. for money, 80c in the Three per Cents. for ditto, and 30c for the account. This recovery was chiefly attributed to the satisfactory settle ment of the account in the Share Market, which turned out profitable to the buyers of stock. Railway Shares improved. Bank of France Stock was dealt in at a decline of 25f ; but there was no mention made during the day of this national establishment resolving to suspend cash payments. Such a measure it is expected would have the effect of raising the prices of pro visions, at present unusually dear ; and it is said that the Government will hesitate before they sanction this last resort to cheek the drain of bullion from the country. The Liverpool Produce Markets have been well supplied during the week, and sales to a fair extent have been effected in both sugar and coffee ; the price of the former has advanced 6d to is per cwt, whilst the rates paid for the latter are extreme. Dyewoods maintain late rates, and a moderate business is going forward in naval stores. Considerable sales of palm oil are reported at 42/ to 431 lOs per ton. Other articles are steady, but not in active demand. A good consumptive demand has been experienced for wheat since Friday last, and the rates then current have been generally maintained. Flour has continued to meet a ready sale, and all descriptions are fully as dear as last week. Indian corn has attracted rather more attention, and an improvement of nearly is per quarter. Oats have gone up ld per bushel, but oatmeal on the contrary has rather given way. Egyptian beans meet a good sale, at a further improvement of 6d to is per quarter. The Bank of Amsterdam have raised their rate of discount from 4i per cent, at which it was fixed on the 23rd ult, to 5 per cent. It is stated that the shipments of specie by the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Indus, on the 20th inst, will reach about 450,0001. On this occa• sion there is no mail to China. _ _ The steam-ship Colombo, with the heavy portion of the East India and China mails, arrived at Southampton this afternoon. She has 1,9001. in specie. The West Indian mail steamer has also arrived at Southampton. Her specie amounts to 1 060,000 dollars. The prospectus has been issued o f a L ondon, Harwich, and Continental Steam Co m p any, w i t h a c apital of 100,0001 . in 101. shares. The object is, in the first instance, to establish direct communica tion between Harwich and Rotterdam, and a traffic arrangement has been m a d e w i t h t h e E as t e rn Counties Railway for a term of years. Passengers proceeding to India via Trieste by Harwich, Rot terdam, and the Dutch Rh en i s h R a il wa y, will, it is alleged, effect a saving of 48 hours as compared with the route via Marseilles. Relative to the market for American securities, Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co., remark—" There has been more activity in the market for American securities during the past week, and both state stocks and railroad bonds have been more freely offered for sale."

TUE RECENT BAZAAR IN BIRKENHEAD - CONGREQ4 TIONAL SOIRIM—A very agreeable reunion of the members of the Rev. James Mann's congregation took place on Wednesday evening, in the school-room beneath the chapel, Hamilton-square. Mr. Mann himself presided, and, after the tea services had been removed, described the origin, progress, and present position of the Victoria-street schools, in aid of which the recent bazaar had been held. He hoped that, the recent effort having been so successful, by the end of the year the institution would be entirely relieved from debt. Mr. Skinner then read the report of the Bazaar Committee, from which it apeeared that the total proceeds of the sales and admissions amounted to £243 1.7 s ld, the expenses to £24 18s 21d, leaving a balance of £2lB 18s lOld, which it was understood would be further increased by a few additional pounds. Alluding to the day school (Viotort,_ street) Mr. Skinner said, that at the beginning of last quarter there were 74 children, at the close 143, the average attendance per day was now 88. The Sunday school was also in a most promising condition, though there was a great want of teachers in the morning. Mr. M'Creary spoke in favourable terms of the Hamilton-square Sunday school, in which the attendance averaged from sev en t y to eighty. Thanks were then voted to Airs. and Mr. Skinner for their very arduous exertions in connection with the bazaar, and also to the ladies of the committee and stalls for their courteous attention and unflagging zeal. The local authori ties oame in also for a hearty vote of thanks, in consequence of the kind consideration which they hizd manifested by bolding the curt elsewhere in order that the operations of the bazaar might not be disturbed. The gentlemen of the bazaar committee were also alluded to in complimentary terms, together with Dr. Baylis, of Birkenhead, the latter having placed his house and table, during the bazaar, at the disposal of tho committee, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCt FRANCE (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDINT.)
