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 Subscribers, but no increase will be made in the rate of subscription, which is now 38s. per annum. NORTHERN DAILY TIMES OFFICE, 19, South John Street. ilortOrn (Tian MONDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1856, - THE DAY'S NEWS The nearer we approach the period for the opening of the Parliamentary session, the more frequent are the meetings, whether agricultural or otherwise, at which members of the lower house attend, and give us a few hints upon the general topics of the day. Liberal and Tory are alike anxious to enlighten their constituents. Among the latest in this category is the notorious "W. B ," alias Major Beresford, of bribery and " frail " notoriety. One would think that his narrow escape from his trial in the Central Criminal Court should have taught him, at least, the propriety of retiring into private life, and confining his views on political subjects to a select circle of his own immediate friends. Be this as it may, he is neither daunted nor abashed, and once more favours the world with his views upon the great and important topics of the day, by a speech at the Hincksford Conserva tive Association, of the most extraordinary character, which- has been our duty either to consider or comment upon. The gallant major is a leading man in the Derbyite ranks ;he was whipper-in under Disraeli, and, consequently, the remarks coming from such a man, whether false or foolish, are worthy of notice. If there be one thing in Major Beresford's speech more striking than another, it is their flippancy and impudence—the cool and off-hand manner in which he disposes of questions which have vexed the brains of the wisest and ablest men of their generation for centuries back, and have been adorned by the loftiest eloquence, and illustrated by the brightest wit. He not only cannot argue, but he affects to acorn argument. He not only confe sses himself to be abigot, but he glories in being a big ot. He says he vote s in a certain way, he knows not why, but this much he does know, that as long as he lives he will never vote any other way. He avows himself a determined supporter of the Church Establishment, partly because be thinks an established a " necessary thing'' in the State, to show the world " in a distinct manner that we are a Christian people," and partly because its main tenance was a burden imposed upon the land by our ancestors, and of which we, therefore, have no right to get rid of. Alluding to the speech of Major Beresford, the Observer of yesterday says : " Whether or not the Conservative Opposition has any longer an actual existence has been a question much discussed between the Conservative papers of late. Major Beresford has hit upon a plan, by the adoption of which the point would soon be put altogether beyond dispute. He proposes a test THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL mission ing up have already commenced, an adjudication in bankruptcy has now been obtained agai itst the establishment, and the result is a conflict between the respective interests. Mr. Harding, the interim, manager, will, it is stated, resist the proceedings in bankruptcy, and, consequently, i t may be anticipated that an appeal to Chancery will shortly take place. The power of the Court of Bankruptcy to act in the matter is based on the 7th and Bth Vic , cap. 3, for winding up defunct companies, but, notwithstanding, the clauses of the act give authority to the court to distribute the assets, take the accounts, and pass the representatives of the bank, it furnishes no provisions by which the shareholders can be called upon to contribute their proportion of funds to liquidate the demands which may be made upon them. It is, neverthe less, thought that through the intervention of Parliament, or special order from the Court of Chancery, arrangements may be made for effecting this object ; but it is questioned whether the latter, in vindicating its own privileges, would make any such concession. Of course there are advocates of the different parties represented in this contest, but it is hoped that prolonged litigation will not be suffered to fritter away the assets, and make a harvest for the lawyers. The depositors, who are anxious to obtain an early distribution, have orga nised a committee to watch their interests, and whether the Court of Chancery or the Court of Bankruptcy shall ultimately be appointed as the tribunal before which the liquidation of the bank shall take place, they will, no doubt, be allowed to offer suggestions for arriving at the most satisfac tory results. Complaints have been made of the amount of legal charges in Chancery, 1 - mt those of the Court of Bankruptcy will be found c dually onerous, unless strict supervision be exeicisA. The coin before whom the case is to be taken is the official assignee is Mr. Lee, and the solicitors to the petitioning creditor are Messrs. Linklater. If bankruptcy shall be finally determined as the process through which the cmcerns of this unfortunate establishment shall be effected, there is a chance of the mal-practices of several of the late directors and the managing director, Mr. Cameron, being brought prominently before the public, and of their being made criminally responsible for the abuse of the trust reposed in them. llolroy LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING The principal event of the day is the publication of the monthly return of the Bank of France. This return is not at all !..iltisfactory. It shows that the metallic reserve is only 166,000,000 E, though the amount of notes in circulation is 621,000,000 1 . The reserve, compared with last month, shows a dimi nution of 69,500,0001. ; the notes an increase of 500,000 f. Discounts have increased 72,500,000 f. ; advances on deposit of security have diminished by 2,500,000 f.; accounts current have increased by 17,500,000 f. ; and the account of the Treasury has diminished by about 8,000,000 f. Although un favourable, the bank return did not influence the Bourse, and there was a slight advance in railway and on other securities. No news of political importance is stirring to-day. On the Neapolitan question there is nothing new, but the chances that it will end in smoke, have decidedly increased. The Independance, of Brussels, gives an account of the presentation of a deputation of workmen to the Emperor, to complain of the hardships to which they were sujected by high rents, dear food, &c, and of his Majesty having assured them of his concern for them and their clsss. There is not, I am told, one word of truth in this story. The Emperor has passed another review to day in the Champ de Mars, of a part of the garrison of Paris. The troops under arms consisted of a division of about 10,000 rn ,, n. The Moniteur says that the increase of the indi rect taxes for last month, compared with the cor responding month of 1855, will be 14,500,000 f., instead of 11,000,000 f, as stated by the Minister of Finance in his late report. According to the Oonstitutionnel, it is the Turks, not the Austrians, who have taken possession of Galatz. The Morning Post, of London, in saying it was the Austrians, committed a great blunder. A telegraphic despatch says that disturbances have taken place at Kutaih, and troops had been sent there ; also that fears of disturbances in Syria were entertained for public men, which must be taken to entitle any member to be considered one of the Conserva tive party. That test is to be the withdrawal of the Maynooth Grant. The formal repudiation of LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING.

We hear that the Austrian occupation of the Danubian Principalities is causing very serious annoyance to France and England. The term for the complete evacuation of those provinces was, according to treaty, the lst of the present month ; yet they not only show no sign of fulfilling their engagements, but are actually making preparations for a winter's occupation at least. It is said that the French Government is most anxious for the meeting of the Congress to settle the Bessarabian frontier question, as well as the other points,which the Austrians allege as a pretext for continuing their occupation.

Saturday To-day there ha s not been much activit y in the R a il w ay Share Market, but rather more firm ness has been apparent , owing to the buoyancy of the Funds. Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee advanced ; to 1, and North E astern and Berwick but most of the other lines were not quoted at higher prices, in consequence of the paucity of dealing. From this cause seve ral of the principal shares were almost at nominal values. The French and Belgian were rather firmer; Sambre and Meuse rose I, Paris and Lyons also f, Lombardo-Venetian t, Great Luxembourg -I, and Antwerp and Rotter dam to 1; East Indian and Canadian also realised fuller quotations. Madras Guaranteed, Great Indian Peninsular, East Indian, Grand Trunk of Canada, and Great Western of Canada, were all at a small advance. The Leeds Mercury states that there had been only a limited number of buyers in the town during the week, and the general aspect of trade was very quiet. A steady business had been done in most of the warehouses, principally for the country trade, but for export the transactions entered into were very limited, and only for immediate requirements. At Bradford clothing wools were firm, and a fair trade continued to be done in yarns for export at full prices. The piece trade presented but little alteration, and business generally was restricted. At Halifax the dealings have been very dull, and spinners have been cautious in making purchases of long wool, prices, however, have not receded. Piece goods have also been dull of sale. At Man chester the market has somewhat recovered from its late depressed state. owing to the late advance in the rate of discount. In yarns, however, spinners still continue anxious to sell, but defer making any concession in prices. The linen trade M of st Baofrnsley has experienced but little alteration. o the bleach crofts in the neighbourhood are fully em, uestion ployed.

The royal Princesses and Prince Alfred remained at the castle during the absence of the Queen, the Duchess of Wellington being in attendance, and the Hon. Miss Seymour accompanying her Majesty. Last evening Mr. Farquharson of Invereauld, Sir James and Lady Clark, and Mr. and Mrs. Clark, had the honour of being invited to dine with her Majesty and the Prince. Should the weather,:continue as favourable as it has been for the last two days, it is expected her Majesty and the royal family will take an excursion, and that his royal highness will go deer-stalking to-day. On Wednesday next the Queen and Prince Albert, with the Princess Royal, Princess Alice, the Princess Helena and Louisa, and Prince Alfred, will leave Bal moral for Holyrood, en route to Windsor Castle. In attendance will be the Duchess of Wellington, the Hon. Mary Seymour, Lord Panmure, Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, Major-General the Hon. C. Grey, Sir James Clark, and Lieut. Cowell, R.E. Her Majesty will only remain one night in Edinburgh, and will, it is expected, reach Windsor Castle on Thursday evening. ♦ THE FRENCH COURT The Sport says The Emperor and Empress went on a shooting excursion in the park of St. Cloud two days back, Her Majesty wore an elegant costume of green cloth, composed of a skirt and jacket, ornamented with gold buttons, and a round hat with a plume of feathers. The sub-officers of the Chasseurs of the Guard attended on the Empress, to carry her fowling pieces. Her Majesty killed nine pheasants out of fifty-three shot during the excursion. There will be hunting and shooting matches alternately every five days at Com— piegne until November. The carrousel which is to figure in the series of fetes at Compiegne will have this particu. larity, that all the horsemen will be mounted on Arabian \ horses of the same size and colour." • Prince Oscar of Sweden has been betrothed to the Princess Sophia. of Nassau, aged 20, and youngest sister in-law of the reigning Duke of Nassau, by the second marriage of his father with Princess Pauline of Wurtem berg. The betrothal took place at the chateau of Mon Repos, at Neuwied, on the Rhine, the residence of the inediatised Prince of Pied, who is married to the bride's elder half sister, Princess Mary of Nassau. By thi s marriage Prince Oscar will become somewhat closely connected with the Courts of St. Petersburg and Wurtemberg. Earl Granville, and the whole of the Embassy Extra ordinary, have left Russia. The Earl and Countess are at present at Carlsbad, where they propose remaining some time. The various attaches to the Embassy are returning home by different routes• Mr. and Mrs. Leveson Gower arrived in town on Friday night, being the first of the numerous suite accompanying the Ambas sador that have reached England. On the day of the coronation and at the moment when the cortege was entering the Kremlin, a magnificent pearl necklace worn by Lady Granville broke, and the pearls, each of which was of great value, were scattered at her feet. Her ladyship did not evince the slightest emotion at the circumstance, but proceeded on her way, leaving behind her the remnants of an ornament which would be a fortune to any one less wealthy than the lady of the English ambassador. APPROACHING MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.—The mar riage of Capt. the Hon. Frederick Fitzclarence, brother of the Earl of Munster, and the Hon. Miss Sidney, sister of Lord de Lisle and Dudley, is to take place in the present month; the precise date has not yet transpired. The marriage of Lady Charlotte Scott, eldest daughter of the late Earl of Eldon, and granddaughter of the late Chancellor, with her cousin, Mr. N. Surtees Bankes, is to be solemnised towards the close of this month. MARRIAGE.—On Tuesday morning, the marriage of Miss Katherine Georgiana Sitwell, daughter of the late Sir George Sitwell, Bart., with Archibald Livingston, Esq., of Edinburgh, was solemnised at St. George's Church, Hanover-square, by Dr. Tait, the newly-, appointed Bishop of London, and uncle of the bride. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday morning, a young man (eighteen years of age), named Joseph B. Wynne, a painter, was engaged at work on a warehouse, when, from accident, he slipped and fell on to the street, and was killed o❑ the spot. An inquest will be held on the body this day. HUTTON CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.—We understand that this church, which is now completed, will be opened on Thursday next, the 16th instant, the Rev. John Kelly officiating in the afternoon, and the Rev. Hugh Stowell Brown in the evening. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday, a girl nine years of age, named Mary Jane Holsworth, who resided at 4 Court Kew street, was accidentally knocked down and ran over by a car in Great Howard street. She was at once conveyed to the Northern Hospital, where she died of the effects of the injuries she had received. An inquest will be held on the body this day. ST.

The gentleman was not quite so far gone as to be done, and he called an officer and gave him into custody. He gave his address in Springfield street, and will be brought up this morning. Gmtorrnie.—A few days ago we published' the details of two outrages committed in the streets by three well dressed ruffians, named Willian Sinclair, Alfred Povah, and George Holme. On Saturday they were brought before Mr. Sands, at the Police Court, for final examination. Mr. Bluck defended. The chief charge against them was for violently attacking a young man, named John Jones, whom they left in a state of insensibility, and robbed hint of his watch. The case was heard de novo, the evidence being the same as that already published by us. From the cross-examination of the witnesses by Mr. Block, it appeared that Sinclair was the only one' of the prisoners who was sworn to and identified beyond all doubt. He was fully committed for trial. The other two were discharged. CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER AT RUNCORN.—A case that has excited considerable interest in Runcorn, is at present under investigation by the police authorities of that town. Mr. Blake, the head constable of police of that town, has three persona in custody on a charge of having murdered a child aged nine days. The facts are these :—The persons in custody are named Thomas Brennan and his wife, together with a man named Patrick Frayne. The latter lodged with the two former, and a short time since the wife of Brennan gave birth to a child. Rumours were afloat about the affair, as the child died and was buried in a mysterious manner, and, as it is alleged, a certificate of the death was obtained by false representations. Subsequently the body was taken up, and examined by a medical gentle man, and it is said, from the appearances, that death was caused by vitriol. An adjourned inquest will be held on the body this day, and until the result can be ascertained, we forbear saying more on the whole affair. "THAT" HALF BARREL OF ALE.—On this day week we gave the details of the travels of half a barrel of ale, the facts connected with which appeared in the evidence given before tha Magistrates at the Police Court. The persons then accused of having stolen the liquid were Wm. Corrigan, Matthew M'Cabe, and James Rosity. who were remanded, in order to come at a person named John Bolan. This person was not, however, forthcoming, and on Saturday the three persons were again brought up. In addition, William Henderson, the keeper of a public house at 94, Chisenhale street (already alluded to in oar report), was put forward k no wing it to have been stole n . Mr. Roby appeared which remembered er a th lo e n withale, k no wing the other prisoners, charged with ha v i ng received for Henderson, and M r. Block for Corri g an. The eviden ce given aesvoidnentheee against tal Mr. charge. Hend It Henderson,, ill went to inculpate h im, was to the effe ct that he had pur chased the ale (under t he c i rcumstances stated) from Bolan. In answer to th e char g e a g ainst him, Mr. Roby produced a was th that h sameat the book, kept by his client, which went to show that he had lent Bolan 10s, but this was not deemed satisfactory by the Magistrates, and Inspector Kehoe asked for a remand of the prisoners to this day, for the production of additional evi dence. Mr. Bluck argued that there was no evidence to detain his client. and this being the case he was discharged. The other prisoners were remanded, the bench agreeing to take bail for the appearanee of Mr. Henderson. NAPLES The measures adopted by Government in the event of the arrival of the allied fleets are simple enough. The Director of the Interior and Police, well knowing what the public spirit is, has informed his superiors that, with the police force only, it would be impossible for him to suppress the mani festations of popular joy. It has, then, been resolved to place the city in a state of siege im mediately that the fleet heaves in view. The decree is already drawn up. The King affects the greatest indifference to the movements of the West, and speaks of them with ridicule and contempt. The following notice, in writing, has been stuck on the walls of Naples :—" Two fleets have been lost in the Mediterranean. Should any one find them, and bring notice of them to a Minister, he shall be rewarded." The latest advices from Naples as yet an nounce no change or modification in his Majesty's determination. To the first steps taken by the Western Powers the King responded by the open ing of the present criminal proceedings. To the ultimatum, if ultimatum be intended, the same amiable Sovereign has replied by the execution of the sentence on such of the prisoners as have been convicted. TURKEY. The Grand Judge Chukri, who is an adversary of all reform, has excited disturbances at Kutais, to which place the Porte has sent a body of troops. Fears are entertained for the tranquility of Syria. The Gladiator has left for Naples. DENMARK The Faederlandet newspaper annouces that the question of the Sound Dues is settled, England and Denmark having come to an agreement.

SWITZERLAND The Federal Government of Switzerland have resolved, in concert with the executive authoritie s of Neufchatel, that the canton shall continue in the occupation of federal troops until the conclu sion of the trials, of the royalist prisoners. BELGIUM The Belgium Minister of the Interior, M. P. de Decker, has addressed a letter to the Heads of the Universities of G.and and Liege, in which he enjoins the Professors to abstain from all direct attacks against the essential principles of the religions professed in Belgium. He observes that it is not necessary that the professors should treat irritating and controverted questions in their lectures, but that if ever they are led to deal with such delicate matters, it should be done with reserve. The Minister observes, in the course of his letter, that he is bound to take care that the teaching of the universities shall be such as may gain the confidence of families, and he repeatedly declares that he will discharge his duty with firmness THE AUSTRIANS IN ROMAGNA, The following letter has been published in a eotemporary:— Sir,—When at the Paris Congress mention was made of the painful state of affairs in Italy, you and the English press spoke in favour of that unhappy country ; and you did the same in the name of humanity on the occasion of my flight from the castle of Mantua. Tendering you my sincere thanks, T at the same time beg you will bring under the notice of the public the persecutions and cruelties committed every day by the Austrians on individuals that are not Austrian subjects, and in a country where Austria has no right to be, viz., the Papal States, governed for the last seven years by three masters—the Pope, the Emperor of Aus tria, and the Emperor of the French. The letters which I receive from my friends are full of accounts of the arbitrary acts daily com• mitted by those powers on the population of that unfortunate country. The following is what they write to me from Romagna, one of the most enlightened provinces of Italy . On the night of the 3rd of January, 1855, Count Pasolini, a young man of thirty, was arrested at Cesona. The soldiers entered his palace through a window, which they burst open with axes, and on the same night he was conducted to Bologna, and lodged in the prison of St. Agnese, where for several months he was not permitted to have any books or light. llis mother, who is the sister of a gentleman holding a high appointment under the Austrian Government, could only with difficulty obtain permission to visit her son a year after his confinement. fie has now been in gaol twenty i the thatg beingen town twenty one months ; his health his gone, he h av i ng h a d two serious illnesses during this time; an d h e h as not yet undergone any examination, nor has he s ! d w a n r m been the mf i atold incident a m e the reason omonth, cu whenr r e o d f his arrested. o ne st entered ne t 2e r7et A hd the Excise-office, arre s t e d A r tid oro B az zacchi, one of the clerks, whom they took at once to Bologna, where he is still languishing in a dungeon. On the 15th of January, 1855, th 6 Austrians arrested at Bologna Alessandra Castegnoli, a student at that university, and bastonaded him twice, with several other students. In the present year they arrested Baratelli, a merchant ; Bezzi, a silversmith ; Talentoni, an independant gentleman ; and Tamourini, a post office clerk. They endeavoured also to arres t a t Cesona the brothers Finali, one an advocate and the other a surgeon ; also Monaresi, di Poggi, and Valzania, landowners, but they all succeeded in escaping into Piedmont. In 1864, twenty-eight person s were con d e mned w i t h o ut any trial to ten, fifteen, twenty years' imprisonment, and amongst thi s num b er th er e was a lady, named , ena,rdi, belon g i ng t o a highly res• pectabie family. None of these sentences were made known, nor any reason given why these unhappy beings were condemned.
