FRODSHAM, Secretary. latban SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1856 TiE centralisation policy which is causing so much alarm in every town, village, and parish in the realm is Parliamentary as well as Ministerial. The primary function of party is to create patron age ! and, therefore, every clique and faction devote themselves with religious assiduity to the manufacture of Central Boards, Commissions, and other means of bestowing places and emoluments on their supporters. The PEELITES were as prone to " expedients" of this particular character as the followers Of MELBOURNE, RUSSELL, and ABERDEEN, and , hence we need not be surprised to find Lord PALMERSTON'S Cabinet taking advantage of example, and doing the utmost to fortify itself in A few years ago we only knew of two Government Boards in this Kingdom, namely, the Customs and Excise ; but the number has in creased vastly within the recollection of the present generation. We have now Poor Law, Inland Revenue, Emigration, Health, Trade' Charity, Lunacy, Ecclesiastic, Education, and mercy only knows how many more Boards, all under the immediate control of the Ministry of the day, and with agents spread all over the , country, armed with inquisitorial power. Parlia ment no longer enacts laws which enforces on municipal and the dischara office it passes act of certa the establis lions rescued from the designs , of faithless political leaders. .It is the voice of Liverpool, Manchester, London, and every isolated town, hamlet, and p a rish, in the kingdom, as the present House o f Commons will find, when its members come agr ain to the hustings, the country will not , th en fail to see that the - • —l.pp. It would be )untry bumpkin, with clods of the to the sol ntative, than the the Senate as a rep local authorities tatary duties )f commissions which are to do the work for them, or, at all events, to dictate what is to be done; no matter whether it is " chalk or cheese," which has to be cut and brought into shape All conditions must mould themselves to one general principle of government, no matter whether local experience, or discretion, points out futility or protests against its inapplicability. If a Government Board says a thing, it must be done, totally irrespective of cost, or its glaring impracti .eability. Gentlemen sitting at a Board in Whitehall et House, El Mr. WI or Somers relating to Customs, " must know best." Such is the Parliamentary and Ministerial dogma of the day ; but the time has come, when the people of this country, without distinction of creed or politics, must take a determined stand, and enforce respect for their Constitutional rights. The privi leges of self-government must not be suffered to be wholly demolished. Centralisation can only be resorted to where a despotism is contemplated, or a Constitutional dynasty driven from a throne; England is not prepared for one, nor will she submit to the other. The classic enlightenment of Oxford, the metaphysical attainments of Cam bridge, and the astounding scholastic proficiency of Eton and Harrow, may be all combined to add lustre to the Imperial Senate ; but there aro feel ings of patriotism and loyalty lying dormant in the people of this country, which will shine forth with far greater brilliancy, when they find that the moral reforms they require in their civil insti tutions, are met by changes, such as, in bygone times, years of civil war could not consummate. Every Session, since the passing of the Reform Bill, has been rendered memorable by the intro duction of some measure to carry forward the work of centralisation, or to " amend and improve" a previous inroad on the rights of self-government, or some one or other of our civil liberties. Last Session we had two bills introduced—the Mercantile Shipping Act, which gave the Board of Trade most unconstitutional powers over the local shipowner, and the Limited Liability Act which, while its authors professed a desire to facilitate the - employment of money in the trade of the country forbid the establishment of Joint-stock Banks und . er.it, that STBAHANS and SADLEIRS may have a monopoly. This year we have the same prohi bition introduced in an amended Limited Liability Bill , with - the Passing Tolls and Shipping Dues Bill which is to sweep away our vested rights, and teach future political demagogues how to trample on the rights of property—the BILDFORD would sa • w hole, as PAUL magnificent diverytissznent conc l u d e with the of converting that branch of the civil service, now known as Local Police, into a Ministerial gendar what our university, merie." This i s legal, naval, and military, l e gislators have been doing, and hope to continue, to do for us. But we question if the constituencies of England will much longer pa ss over with indifference, the source from which all this Young Englandism dates. With them lies the Sovereign remedy and the radical cure for all of which the public now complain. Men who come forward to ask the " honour" of representing them in Parliament, must be given to understand, that that " honour " does not consist in trampling on the Constitutioa of the realm, and demolishing the long-establishe d civil immunities of a free people. This, be it I, is not the language of sectarianism remembers or political faction. It is the unanimous voice of the nation, who will continue to speak louder and louder, until the career of innovation in which our legislators have embarked, has been abandoned, and our ancient and glorious institu- THE NORTHER/4 TIMES.-LIVIRPOOL, SATURDAY, MARCH IC, 1860 swan and hue n impressed with the due BANK, OP ENGLAND RETURNS, An Account, pursuant to the Act 7th and Bth Victoria, cap 32, for the Week ending March 9, 1856.

The support continues to be afforded to prices by the satisfactory aspect of politics, ani by the steady investments of the public. On the other hand, considering the new creation of Stock, and the continued tightness of the Money Market. \even the prospect of peace fails to induce extended operations for higher prices in Consols. Specula tive attention is directed in preference to a number of securities in the Share and Foreign Stock Markets, which are presumed to offer greater scope for a rise, when the effects of the late political and monetary dsturbance shall have been rectified. Th e p ressure for money occa sioned i n the Bank of England by the reoent heavy instalment upon. the new loam, has. passed GREAT away. Short loans were obtainable to day at five " • to six pet cent upon Government Securities.

THE CONFERENCES PARIS; FRIDAY EVENING The plenipotentiaries reassembled to-day, and held their ninth sitting at • the Hotel of the Minister: of Foreign Affairs. HOSTILITIES IN THE BALTIC COUNTER- MANDED Despatches dated Kiel, the 13th instant, inform us that the Firefly had entered that port with a despatch from the British Government requesting Commodore Watson not to engage in hostilities in the Baltic. AUSTRIA Intelligence of yesterday's date has reached stating that a new reduction of the Austrian army had been announced. THE FRENCH FUNDS PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING The business on the Bourse to-day closed at the following quotations :—Four and a half per Cents., 94f 75c; Three per Cents., 73f 25c. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING The intelligence I gave you yesterday, that it was likely that Prussia- would be allowed' to take part in the Congress, has received an earlier con firmation than was expected. A despatch from Berlin informs us tl , at the French Ambassador formally invited her yesterday, in the name of the Congress, and that she at once accepted the invi tation. This statement is confirmed by the semi official journals of this evening. - It is, of course, a proof that peace isylrtually concluded—there is, in fact, no possibility, in presence of the well known " attitude " of Prussia towards Russia, of supposing anything • else. Another piice of news of a peaceable character has also reached us by tele graph from Berlin to-day—it is that Count Orloff had made known at St. Petersburg that an under standing had been ~ come to on the 'fifth point (I 'old you this some days since), and that " peace assured," The desPatchei, by the .way, say gat this result is mainly owing to the despatches ,ent recently to Count Orloff. You may remember hat I told. ycu that after the receipt of the despatches, the tone of the Russ'iati negotiators had undergone a, great change. This news produced a favourable effect on the Bourse, tut not 'so great as would have. been caused if the market were not heavy. The Empress received the communion this morning, and the ,aidei-de-camp, and of eiers d'ordonance are kept in readiness to summon the great state dignitaries at a moments notice. The Moniteur makes known that the govern ment has determined that .the gold deposits in Guiana which were recently discovered, shall not be worked without the' permission of the local authorities. It says, however, that neither the importance of them, or the quality of the gold they produce, has yet been ascertained. M. de Lesseps the projector of the scheme for cutting through the isthmus of Suez, has arrived in-Paris from Vienna, where he stopped on his way frorn - Egypt. At Vienna he was received by the Austrian . Ministers, and announced that' he should reserve shares in his enterprise to the amount of 25,000,000 francs, (a million sterling) to be subscribed in Austria, and 40,000,000 francs worth - for France and England respectively. He took greit pains to persuade the Austrians thit his;undertaking meets with every encouragement in England. Fourteen workmen were yesterday condemned by the Tribunal of Correctional Police, to periods of imprisonment varying from one month to five years, and some of them to 261. fine besides, for having formed a secret political society for the overthrow of the government. The men were Republicans and Socialists. As signs of the times, it may be mentioned . that a secretary of Prince Napoleon, formerly a jour nalist, has not been allowed to publish a pamphlet against Russia; that the performance of the drama, the Cosaques, in which the Russians are caricatured, has been prohibited at Toulouse ; and that the Charivari has had to suspend its anti-Ru'ssian caricatures. Prince Jerome is a - little better, but still in a dangerous state. PARISH LUNATICS AND MR LEATHEI TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN TIMES Sir,—lt appears, from what I have seen in the news papers, that a censure has been paqsed upon me for neglect of duty towards a lunatic. I hardly think that this account can be true, as I have received no notice to that effect. I grant that I was called before the medical relief committee, of which Dr. Bradley is chairman, respecting this same poor man, whose case is as follows :—He was brought to the workhouse between twelve and one o'clock on Monday morning. February 25th, and was seen by Mr Gaines, the assistant surgeon in attendance, forthwith, and by him ordered to the asylum. I saw him in . my morning visit in company with Mr. Games my assistant, and he was perfectly tranquil ; on the 26th, (Tuesday) I visited him again, about four o'clock, and found him under mechanical restraint, to which I strongly objected, and which, I rarely if ever use ; but having been informed that he was discovered by Dr. Bradley balf-way through - the window in the' padded cell, I chose the least of two evils, and allowed him to remain in a strait jacket, after the keepers had been ordered to place it on him, placed, be it remembered without any authority either from Mr. Games or may be permitted to observe, that the myself. I hop I dangerous position in which this man was found - , arose from no neglect either on the part of Mr. Games or myself, but simply from the faulty construction of the cells, which, in their present state are altogether unfitted for the reception of violent patients—so unfitted, indeed, in my opinion, that dangerous ca-es are ordered .by me to be constantly watched, night and day. I beg to state to the public the true fac's of the matter, through your columns ; but I shall demand from 'he justice of the select vestry an enquiry into this painful case--:a case upon which the so-called censure i 4 presumed to be based.—l have the honour to be, your obedient servant, PETER LEATILEN. 156, Brownlow-hill, March 14th, 1856.

The short clearances from America impart,firmness to tbe parka, and counteract the effect of the dulness consequent on, the now probable peace. The deficient supply of American pork, and the light stocks here, have enabled the Irish curers to establish an advance of is to 2s per barrel.

The directors of the Great Western Railway of Canada do not pnntpmnlato mAing any . call on the " old new" •eceived advices ith D rber, which report rat during the fortnight there had been an _mproved tone in business matters, and greater confidence was manifested in commercial circles, as it was presumed that those parties who had stood during the recent crisis, were carrying on a legitimate business, and were worthy of the confidence placed in them. -Insol vencies, however, continued pretty numerous, but they were not generally composed of the class carrying on an extensive business, and therefore, not likely to injure others to any serious amount. A good deal of business had been done, and the Sydney Empire adds :—" And we have good reason to believe that a good trade is again springing up with that port, which will help to work off a large amount of stocks which must haVe accumulated in merchants' hands, during the past stagnation in commercial affairs. In town trade at present, there is not so much doing as we might expect at the present season ; but we are confident that ere long, an impetus will be given to business which will in a great measure help us to forget the ordeal through which the country has lately passed. The large arrivals of wheat and flour from abroad dur ing the past few days, with the prospect of an abundant harvest, (the whole of which is nearly ready for the sickle), cannot fail to have a depres sing influence on these articles, and we expect, before our next issue, the staff of life' will be con siderably lower in price, as we are convinced that the present price of bread is adding no small quota to the present depressed state of things."

Up . to the 14th December, the total exported since the opening of the gold fields i n May, 1851, was only 1.920,589 ounces. Valued at 73s per ounce, this gives, 7,202,2121., or very little more than the annual export from Victoria. The Liverpool Corn Market was rather firm to-day, and prices improved for wheat 2d per bushel, and for flour froth 6d. to is. per barrel and sack. - - Mr. F. J. Eaton's circular of this day gives the following report of the Tallow Market: — Although there' has been more business done in the London market, it has been a gradually declining rates ; at the close yesterday the nearest quotations were 56s 9d to 57s for the month, 53s April, and 51s per cwt, for Oct. Dec. For sorts there is an increasing inquiry, and at rather advanced rates. The stock is now 23,123 casks, against 36,079 casks in 1855, and the half-week delivery 539 casks, against 719 last year. Holders show a dispo- sition to realize, there has been more doing here, than.for some time past, and several hundred casks have changed hands including P.Y.C, at 57s to 58s. N.

We want no Government Boards to tell us how we are to conduct those institutions which the ratepayer has to support. We do not want a policeman stationed at our doors vho can turn round and say, " I am a Government officer—who ?" All the public seek, are rational :tires for you 'eforms in ue administratio f local offices, not the addition of Government Boards, with hosts of employes, adding excessive cost to the demands made on the already overburdened tax payers. Much official ingenuity has been shown by govern ments chosen from the several Parliamentary parties, in giving to cures all the worst characters of the diseases complained of ! We have, there fore, little to hope for from either side of the present House of Commons. Oppositions only use agitation for the purpose of obtaining place and power; and if we are to do any good by the present discussion, it can only be by arousing the country to something like a sense of the dangers to which our great Constitutional institutions are exposed in the hands of mere time-serving politi cians, and returning men to the House of Commons who are not thorough Constitutionalists, and will not pledge themselves to support self government, and give us some material guarantee for the due observance of their profesions ROYAL CoLossErm.—ln addition to the attractive novel es produced by Mr. Heath at this popular house of — ,•nt, one of the greatest wonders seen in Liverpool tor some time, is Young Hanlon, whose astonishing per formances delight crowded houses every evening.

WEST DERBY UNION.—REPRESENTATION OF TOXTETTI PARIE.—A meeting of the ratepayers of the township of Toxtetla-park was held at half-past nine o'clock yesterday morning, in the public office, Park-place, for the purpose of selecting nine efficient persons for nomination as guardians, to represent the township at the board of the West Derby Union for the ensuing year. The meeting was convened by circular, issued by Mr. David Craig, and Mr. Arthur Grindrod, overseers, and in it they impressed on the rate payers the importance of the meeting, by stating the fact that the amount of calls made upon the township for the support of the poor, ar. , ' - purposes, for the past year, was upwards , se Halhead presided, and among T.

ATTEMPT AT MURDER BY A MANlAC.—Yesterday a female named Sarah Quinn, apparently about thirty years of age, the wife of a carpenter, residing at Mostyn-stree' the Park, was brought before Mr. Mansfield, at the police court, charged with having attempted to murder her child, aged five years, by strangling it. It appeared that some years since the poor woman lost one of her children from an accident by fire, and at intervals since that time her mind has been affected. On Thursday evening something attracted her mother to the house, and when she entered she was horrorstruck to find her unfortunate daughter in the act of strangling the child. She had the child laid across her knees, and a ligature round its neck. The old woman gave an alarm, and rescued the child, which was senseless at the time, and a brief period more would have sufficed to end its existence. A medical gentleman was called, and means, which fortunately proved successful, were resorted to, and the child gradually recovered. It was then deemed proper to give the prisoner into custody, as much for her own safety as on the charge. She was ordered to be sent to the West Derby workhouse, preparatory to her being removed to the lunatic asylum, as there did not appear any doubt of her insanity. THE the afternoon, w.e., should. be in working order v ino. beer States and ( longer duration. AMERICAN AllßASSAD o ll:—Yesterday his excel lency, the Hon. G. M. Dallas, was presented with a con gratulatory address at Radley's hotel, by the chairman (Mr. Sellar), Mr. Duncan, the secretary, and four members of the American chamber of commerce. The presentation was private, and the address merely of a personal character, congratulating his excellency on his safe arrival iu this country. After their departure, Mr. Dallas went out alone to take a view of the town. As he was passing the Lime street Railway Station, Alderman Parker happened to be in the vicinity, and the attention of the latter being called to the new American minister, the alderman introduced him self, and, in his capacity of member of ' St. George's-hall committee, he politely invited Mr. Dallas to view that noble building. The offer was gratefully accepted, and the ambassador, Alderman Parker, and another gentleman, went over the hall. Mr. Dallas expressed great admiration of the hall and assize courts, and especially of the beautiful little concert-room at the north end of the building, now nearly completed. The grand organ in the large hall appeared to be a great object of attention, but as steam was not up in the boilers of the engine, by which the bellows are worked, the capabilities of the instrument could not then be displayed. Mr. Willis, the builder of the organ, gave a brief explanation of its chief points, however, and Mr. Dallas was requested to repeat his visit to the hall in ;t was arranged. the machinery Mr. Best the organist was not then in the building, but fortunately he re ceived intimation of what was intended, and he at once attended to offer his services for the gratification of the distinguished visitor. Accordingly at four o'clock in the afternoon Mr. Dallas again visited the hall, accompanied this time by Mr. Dallas, junr., the Hon. Mrs. Dallas, and her two daughters, and attended as before by Alderman Parker. After the party had been conducted over the building, and had several times expressed themselves in praise of magnificence, they took seats in the large hall, while Mr. Best displayed his talents on the organ by playing with eveumorethan his ordinary effect, an improvisation from uenot including te " Chorale," the e e oP ‘ lra ßac o c f ha L n ee alia lr n ug Chorus , " and the air " Nobles composed brightly b s y h i ning," anTdhe distinguished Seigneurs" ; Moll nes a Whea Sto th rm e Fantasia," w ß h e i s e t h , atnhdeyihnawda terms alluded to the visitors morn orn were s introduced gratification to w M ith r. ance.

But part of the objectaf the Congress was to hoes treaties of 1840 and 1841 !elating to the Straits of the Bosi toutand Darianelies, to which Prussia was a parte ; and she was hot to fore invited, not to take part in the negociations for peeee• s ea sanction the result of the negocia , ionre He bAieved that Pre ter had accepted the incitation. and tL e reports respecting the Mill" appointed were, no doubt, true.
