There is likewise a steady business in the exportation of salt, metals, and manufactures. The letters from China and India, delivered by last mail, however, gave no-hope of an improvement in homeward freights.

For full par ticulars we refer to the very ample report which will be found in another part of this day's. Northern Daily Times. As will be seen by reference to another portion of this day's paper, his Worship the Mayor (Wm. Preston, Esq.) gave his official farewell entertain ment, in the form of a magnificent soiree dansante, in the Town-hall, last night. The assemblage of guests was brilliant as well as numerous, invitations having been sent to the leading fami lies and individuals of the town and neighbour hood, including the nobility and gentry of the surrounding district, nearly all of whom signified their intention of being present. As was to be expected, several of the distinguished guests who had intended to be there were . prevented• by illness or family bereavement, notwithstanding which the gathering was one of great interest and . brilliancy, fully a thousand guests being present 'on the occasion. Dancing was kept up with great animation to a. late hour, and the supply , of refreshments was abundant, elegant, and re cherehg. The evidence adduced at the inquest on the bodies of those who perished in the melancholy wreck of the Royal Charter, and which have been cast ashore, will be found in another part of to day's impression. From that evidence it will be seen that the stig,ma of inebriety attempted to be fixed on the memory of the- ill-fated captain has been entirely rebutted.

As we expected, England will not go into the Congress on Italian affairs,. except upon condi tions, if not in favour of Italian Independence, yet' with a-view of redressing Italian grievances. It is now stated, with some confidence, that our Foreign Minister has addressed to the French Governratnt, a communication,. setting forth those terms ; and they are described as being such as will meet the approval of the people of England, and the friends of Italy. The activity now prevalent at Woolwich Ar senal is represented as being greater than has. been witnessed there since the Crimean war. The utmost energies of the several establishments are being put forth, in the preparation and ex port, of materials, it is said, for two distinct pur poses, first for the defence of our own coasts ; and, second, for the expedition to China. The revolution in New Grenada is causing con siderable interruption, it appears, to commerce. The ports continue closed, notwithstanding the remonstrances of the British and United States ministers upon the spot. The papers continue to give very distressing accounts of the gale of last week ; and also that at the beginning of the present week, which was so severely felt on the southern coast and in the English Channel. _ _ Another of our steamers has been lost off the coast—the (s.s.) Africa, which left this port, on Saturday, for the Levant. She was not u pas senger ship, and, therefore, the loss of life has not been great, being confined to the captain, two engineers, and the stoker,—a melancholy cata logue enough, it must be confessed, although bearing no comparison with what it might have been, had there been passengers, as well as crew. The channel fleet is represented as having been so ably managed during=the late storm, as to have weathered it most completely, and without sustaining the slightest damage--forcibly indi cating, as is well observed by a contemporary, " that our ships and our seamen still maintam their ancient character." We insert in another column a very interesting communication addressed to us by Professor Haughton, of Trinity College, Dublin, a s t o th e state of the tidal current at oelfra at the time of the wreck of the Royal Charter. The calculations given, as to the state of high water on the melan choly occasion referred to, are, no doubt, perfectly accurate ; and they have a painful significance. We quite agree with our learned correspondent, that " it is of the utmost importance the attention of shipowners should be directed to the subject of the tides and tidal current of the Irish Sea ;" and we are promised, it will be seen, some particulars respectinc , the wrecks of several other vessels with which this subject has, no doubt, had much to do. We had two arrivals of screw steam-ships from America yesterday, viz., the Indian from Canada, and the City of Washington from New York. The intelligence by these arrivals is to the 22nd ult., a summary of which will be found in our latest news. At the weekly meeting of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, held yesterday, the im portant topic of improved means of access to the Landing-sta ge was th e main feature of th e busi ness unde r cons id erat i on . Afte r an i nterest i ng debat e , i n which Messrs. S. It. Graves, J. A. nembers took a part, a. resoli alterations on t l _l, present me approving of corta s of access to and treatment inaug,urate a system of amendment and progress ; but he is the worst of all agents to guide and continue it. The blind and rough strength of Phaeton, perhaps, was safe enoughtin freeing the traces. of the chariot, or brushing away an obstacle to its first onset; but it required a judgment of far different temper from his to guide it through the heavens without setting the world on fire The energetic reformer of 1831, sweeping away a few dust-heaps, putting here and there a thing into its place, would in 1860, be a dangerous. madman turning everything upside down, throwing the best furniture through the doors and windows,. and destroying the very instruments of further improvement. The Whig-Radicals, under the leadership of Lord JOHN RUSSELL,. who has begun to show himself more reckless than even:we were merciful enough to think, are not the spirits to rule any future internal crisis of the Constitution. "Finality John," with all his inconsistency and positive un trustworthiness, is not qualified, has no claim, to re-open the- questions which he took up only from another, relinquished, even in promise, when it ceased to yield political capital, and has shirked and evaded ever since. The reforms we want are gradual; in detail, not in principle ; a prose cution of inherent theories, and not an introduction of new and different doctrines. For this work the Conservative paity, properly so called, are the fit and proper agents; and for this work they are ready, and getting readier every election and every Parliament. With these views, we are not altogether averse from accepting the dictum of some of our adver- saries ; namely, that the present competition be tween the prevailing parties is in a great measure personal. And agreement on this point, per supposes agreement on another and much more important one. Our critics tell us that Conser vative principles are uppermost, both in Parlia ment and the country. We admit it; but the inference would seem inevitable, that a Conser vative Government is alone able adequately and willingly to administer them. "No matt" says the wise BURKE "can say how far he will go, who joins with those who are avowedly going to the utmost extremities." Lord JOHN RUSSELL if he were left alone,—if there were no personal feeling, no small ambition, no factious rivalries, to tamper with the free course of his convictions, or the straightforward dictates of his conscience,— might, perhaps, be trusted to as a tolerable Con servative. What wisdom teaches him, when there is leisure to hear her voice, we learnt at Aberdeen. But he is exactly on the descent which BURKE here characterises as so easy and so inevitable. He has played into the hands of BRIGHT, sanctioned his parliamentary claims, and given open encouragement to many of his hopes Why did the Libe ral party compiai: with an evident appearance of reason and justifi- I ,1.41,11111., I.U.La, I,IIG -1,11,1 , -/ IL/ 1 GPI, 111.11,01V1/ IA 11,,r ,••., present Ministry was not large enough ?

A distinguished and noble christian peer, the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, who has already been instrumental in passing many measures for the amelioration of his humbler fellow-subjects, has directed his attention, also, to this very matter which we are at present handling. ln a letter addressed to the Editor of the Times, as far back as May 20, 1856, his Lordship ob served that the payment of workmen's. wages on Friday instead of Saturday evening, was effected r'through the instrumentality of that excellent body, the "Early Closing Association," as well as the half-holiday movement, which we believe now to be adopted pretty generally by all banks, merchants, and wholesale houses of business, on Saturday after two o'clock, which has been accom plished without the interference of the legislature, but by the mere moral force of steady and legiti mate exertion. As this Society has achieved so much for their fellow-sufferers in other callings, we do not despair that, by continuous and untiring persistence, they may accomplish something per manent for themselves. Thrice armed is he whose cause is just. That the wish which the assistants in drapers' houses, and druggists' and grocers,' and other business establishments, is most reasonable and equitable, cannot be denied. We have a Ten-hours' Bill passed to restrict the cupidity which has no feeling for its fellow man, though vaunting itself of unbounded liberality. The Legislature has been obliged to pass a mea sure to prevent women and . children being em ployed in occupations in mines—situations of the most debasing and immoral tendencies, forcing them into a degradation unfit even for beasts of burden. And we see now a class of workmen, whose calling at least has this advantage over the shopkeepers' assistants, that it is carried on in the open air, instead of in the midst of a stifling atmosphere of mephitic gases, most unwisely, in deed, forming a combination for the purpose of s°°; VENICE, shortening - their time of labour to nine h ours On the occasion of the re - opening of the o pt a-day—an example we should be very sorry to see noisy demonstration has taken place here. ey followed by any class of the employed ; and yet reter.
