Witness, for in e' the election of the very Mayor who this morning ietielBlfrorn the honourable post he has filled in so very thti 11 , 44 , 1 " . a manner during the past year. He belonged ; a llY to their most determined opponents ; yet they 4 -e t hesitat e to elect hint, even in preference ) ter e 1,21! a mong their own p ar ty, a lthough there ''' vl 'eTal of at least equal qualifications, aspirants to . the office. Fain would - they, we honestly believe, act out the same principle to-day. But they are to be met by a manifestation of pirty-sPirit in the ranks of the. Liberals, of which it would never do to permit the success ; more especially when it is seen what are the party ends it is intended thereby to promote. The Radical minority of the Town Council are determined, we regret to find, to persist in opposing the election of a Conservative Mayor. Their dodge of dragging for ward, simply to serve their own party purposes, the estimable gentleman who retires from the civic chair, has been foUnd, we understand, to be utterly imprac ticable. Mr. Preston has too much penetration not to be aware of their real object ; and too much good sense and right feeling to permit himself to be made a tool of for effecting it. But they are never at a loss; and in Mr. J. H. Turner they think they have found . a gentleman who would be the next best for the party-ends they have to serve. To effect his return, it is said they will not scruple to adopt any means that may offer for the purpose. As a proof of this, we find they are urging a soi-disant member of the Council, who is legally incapacitated from acting— we mean Mr. Clerk, the disqualified member for St. Paul's Ward—to vote for them on this occasion, in the elections of Mayor and Aldermen, and offering to pay the fine he will incur of fifty. pounds for each vote he would give ! It is an anomaly ia the Reformed Cor poration Act that a disqualified member may sit in the Council, but if he votes he ineurs"the penalty we have named; and this is Mr. Clerk's position. Yet so desperate are the Radicals—so hard pushed to gain their object—that they are anxious to obtain what we do not hesitate to stigmatise as, under the circum stances, a disreputable vote—the vote of one who is not legally qualified to give it,—a fact that is indisputable, since if it be given it will only be at the cost of a fifty pound penalty. And we can tell the Radicals, that this penalty, should it be incurred, will most assuredly be sued for. It is to be hoped that Mr. Clerk, for his own sake, has obtained the necessary guarantee from his Radical friends. But although he may himself be exonerated from paying the smart, he will not be excused from the odium of a discreditable act,—dis creditable, because one which, as he well knows, he is legally disqualified from performing. THE LATEST NEWS. FRANCE. PARIS Tuesday. The Emperor arrived here to-day at three o'clock, from Compeigne, and proceeded to the Hotel du Louvre to pay a visit to the Grand Duchess Maria, of Russia. Letters from Marseilles state it was expected there that both Portugal and Spain would admit corn duty free. FRENCH FUNDS PAnis, Tuesday. 1220 P.M.—The Bourse, opens rather firm, but in active. Rentes, 70f. 10e. 3.25 r.m.--The market has undergone no change. The final price of Rentes 70f. 5c., being only a shade higher than yesterday. SPAIN. MADRID, Nov. 7 Marshal O'Donnell will positively leave this evening. The transport steamers detained on account of the bad weather have now arrived at Algesiras, and offensive operations will commence immediately. MEDITERRANEAN, A despatch from Malta, received at Paris, says that two English ships of war had left for Ancona, and two others for Corfu. ITALY BOLOGNA, Nov. 7 The Minister, Marquis de Peppoli, read to-day before the Assembly a message, announcing that, the Govern ment had always pursued a system of moderation, and further states that the financial state of the country during the last quarter had increased 1,500,000, and concluded by saying the establishment of a regency would place the credit of the country on a firm footing, and that Central Italy would appear before the Congress with more authority. FLORENCE, Nov. 7 The Assembly has resolved to take into consideration the proposition to create Prince Carrignani Regent of Tuscany in the name of the King of Sardinia, and will give its vote on this question to-morrow. The resolu tion was received with the cheering of the public. THE CONFERENCES ZURICH, Nov. 8. The signature of the treaty has been delayed, on ac count of Austria claiming payment of the 40,000,000 of florins due by France, on account of Piedmont, in conventions money, instead of the new Austrian cur rency. Baron de 'Boßrquency has referred the question to Paris for instructions,'and it is thought the difficulty will be overcome, and the treaty signed without further delay. i FRENCH INTERVENTION IN ITALY It is now said that in the letter of Victor Emmanuel to Louis Napoleon, he tells the Emperor that he cannot adhere in the Congress to the policy of France touching the restoration of the deposed dynasties, but he will promise not to give any armed aid to Central Italy as long as there is no military intervention there by any other Power. SPAIN AND MOROCCO BLOCKADE ON THE COAST OF MOROCCO This (Tuesday) evening's gazette contains an official notification from the Spanish Government of the blockade of the ports of. Tangiers, Tetuan, and Larache, on the coast of Morocco, effected by the Commander-in- Chief of the Spanish naval forces on the coast of - Africa, on the 28th October. SPAIN, GREAT BRITAIN, AND MOROCCO The Gazette also contains despatches from Lord John. Russell, and declarations from the Spanish Government, relative to the war with Morocco. On the 22nd Sept., Lord John Russell instructed the British Ambassador at Madrid to say that her Majesty's Government are bound to look to the security of the fortress of Gibraltar ; and lie is required to ask for a declaration in writing of any intention of occupying Tangiers in a permanent manner. The Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs replies, Oct. 6, that Spain would not continue to hold Tangiers after a treaty of peace.. Lard J. Russell writes to say that the British Govern ment accepts with satisfaction this assurance. But a few days later Lord J. Russell again writes to Madrid and :)btains from the Spanish Government the further assur ance that they have no intention to occupy any point on the Morocco coast which would give Spain a superiority hat would be dangerous to the navigation of the straits; tmt Senor Collants presumes that the (;:tlli let of London ;As, no: other object than to Fc safety of the interests of Great Britain, and i say manner to interfere in the contest which is about, to be engaged in, between two independent nations. This despatch is dated October 21st, and closes the correspondence. Telegraphic accounts reached Paris yesterday stating that, en the 4th instant, a Moorish gunboat was cap tured by a Spanish steamer at the mouth of the river Tetuan, after a sharp engagement. A letter from Tangiers states that Mr. Drummond Hay, the English Consul-General at that place, had recommended all English subjects to leave, and had notified that such of them as might be in want of assist ance, would obtain it at Gibraltar. The Independeste of Turin, states from Rimini that the bish o p of that place has gone in person to thank General Rosselle, for the respect and attention manifested by the soldiers, both towards himself and towards all his clergy, NORTHERN DAILY TIMES LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER AGRICULTURAL SO CIETY.—The annual general meeting of this society is to take place in the Lion Hotel, Warrington, on Thursday next. The business to be brought before the meeting will be to revise the annual prize list for next year ; to appoint office-bearers ; to audit the treasurer and secretary's financial statements ; to consider the report of the committee ; and to receive a deputation from Bolton, to request that the next annual show may be held there. ICIRIEDALE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS.—The committee of managenient of these schools held their usual fortnightly meeting yesterday. Mr. Bairstowpresided ; the other mem bers present were, Messrs. Owen, Smith, Satchell, Cook, Syred, Tamer, W. Whitley, and Whitty. The. minutes of last meeting having been read, it was reported that the number of children in the establishment was 866, consisting of 453 boys, and. 413 girls. The numbers reported at last meeting was 879, showing a reduction of 13. LIVERPOOL ROYAL VOLUNTEER ARTILLERY.—This corps, numbering about 250 members, and composed for the greater part .of gentlemen filling situations in banks, insurance, brokers', merchants', and other offices, met for drill for the first time, in the Rose-hill Police Station, last night. Fully two hundred members were present, and we must say that a more respectable and promising body of gentlemen volunteers we have never seen. The terms of admission into the corps are, we understand, of a character so simple, that a very large accession of members is expected. CORONER'S COURT, YESTERDAY. The following inquests were held at this court, before P. F. Curry, Esq., coroner :—On the body of W. Rimmer, who fell out of a cart which he was driving. Verdict, acciden tally killed.—On the bodies of two men who were drowned from the flat Sarah, and found as stated in Monday's Northern Times. In this case there was a con siderable amount of evidence adduced, but as the blame, if any existed, did not appear to attach to any one in particular, the jury returned a verdict of accidentally drowned, accompanying their verdict with a present ment. LECTURE.—The first of a series of lectures, is connec tion with the Hope-street Church, was delivered last night by the Rev. W. H. Channing. The subject chosen was, " The Aristocracy of Work and Wealth." There were between 100 and 200 persons present, in cluding a number of ladies. The chair was occupied by Mr. Baring, who, in the course of a short speech, intro duced the lecturer. The lecture was a very interesting one, and was listened to with marked attention by all present. The lecturer was warmly applauded through out, and on resuming his seat, votes of thanks to the lecturer and the chairman were carried by acclamation, after which the meeting dispersed. PRESENTATION.-011 . Filiday last, at the annual gathering of the poor women connected with the St. Paul's Church, Prince's-park, Clothing Fund, a very chaste vase was presented to Mrs. Grantham, who has had the chief management of the fund for a period of eleven years, and who is now leaving the neighbour hood. The vase—which was presented by the Rev. Dr. in a very appropriate and touching manner— bore the following inscription :—" Presented to Mrs. Grantham (on leaving the neighbourhood), by the depositors in the St. Paul's Church, Prince's-park, Clothing Fund, as a token of their affectionate re membrance of, and ever deep gratitude for, her unweared and kind Christian labours undertaken in their behalf. November, 1859." HOPE-HALL LECTURES.—The fifth lecture of the present winter series was delivered last night, at the above hall, by the Rev. W. Graham, on " St. Patrick and Columba.' The attendance was, however, rather limited, owing, no doubt, to the drenching rain which fell in the earlier part of the evening. The audience, however, were amply recompensed for any inconvenience they might have incurred by attending the lecture, as it was both edifying and instructive to a very high degree. The lecturer gave an interesting account of the rise and progress of Christianity in England, Ireland, and Scotland, adding, at the same time, many instructive comments on the various phases of what may be called the dawn of Christianity. The lecture on Tuesday next is to be delivered by the Rev. A. Murrell, and we would advise all who have not yet heard this popular lecturer, to embrace the opportunity that will then be afforded of so doing. COUNTY MAGISTRATES' COURT, YESTERDAY.— (Before Messrs. Brocklebank and Theakstone.)- INDECENT ASSAULT.—John Wm. Fannon, a young man, who is a bookbinder by trade, was charged with assaulting a young woman, named Elizabeth Williams. From the statement of the latter it appeared that she was going from Liverpool to West Derby, and about one o'clock in the morning she was passing Prospect-vale, Fairfield, when the prisoner came up, used some very foul language, tripped her, threw her down, and proceeded to use indecent liberties with her; bat she raising an 'alarm, he did not proceed to further violence. Miss Williams tried to make her escape, but the prisoner followed her and used very revolting language towards her. A policeman coming up at the time, the prisoner was given in charge.—The policeman said that he had made enquiries respecting the girl's character, and he found that she was adecent, well-behaved young woman. —After a short consultation, the magistrates inflicted on the prisoner a fine of 20s. and costs, or one month's imprisonment. IMPORTATION OF ALDERNEY AND GUERNSEY CAmil.—The superiority of the Alderney and Guernsey cow for dairy purposes has been so fully established by experienc6, that denial of it would be useless ; and hence the importation of these animals is becoming a marked feature in the management of our dairy farms. Mr. Fowler, sen., of Bushey Farm, Watford, Herts, is known as one of the judges of prize cattle in both of these islands ; and is largely engaged in the trans mission of these animals to this neighbourhood, and which are submitted for sale from time to time at Mr. Bretherton's Repository, Wood-street. Mr. Fowler himself visits the two islands, (as he has done for the last forty years,) which have attained such celebrity for their peculiar breed of cattle, and there, personally, he selects the choicest of the choice of these animals, ex pressly for the Liverpool market.' A short time ago, Mr. Bretherton by private treaty, disposed of one of the best herds of these cattle perhaps ever yet submitted for public inspection. It consisted in all of nineteen cows and heifers—thirteen Alderneys and six Guernseys. The whole were in calf, and exhibited all the excellencies of perfection, symmetry, beauty of Colour, and promise of that delicious dairy produce, for which this breed of cattle is so celebrated. They met with a rapid sale at hip prices, testifying that the value of this pretty little animal, which is at once an ornament and a utility on the lawn of the suburban residence and the pasture-field. of the farm, is becoming daily appreciated. In order to meet, the demand, Mr. Fowler is again at the islands named, making 'selections from the most approved breeds ; and another herd, deserving of the first attention, will stand for view and sale by privat e treaty at Mr. Bretherton's repository, on the 19th of this month. To show the value of the Alderney cow, as a dairy cow, we quote from a test made by Mr. John Hume, president of the Royal Agricultural and Horti cultural Society of Jersey, and submitted by him to the board of management of that society, in 1846. The experiment, was made with three tows, two=} ears-old, upon their first calves (not the most favourable period for such a test), and the result showed the produce to be as follows :=sBolbs. of butter, at ls. per lb., £29 Os. 6d. ; cream and milk for the supply of the house, at is. per. dap, £lB ss. ; three calves reared, at £5 each, £l5; manure for Six winter months, at ss. per month for each cow, £ s ` lo s: —total, ' £66 15s. 6d. Deduct the expense of keep, at £7 per cow, £2l, leaves £45 15s. 6d. giving to each cow £l5 ss. 2d. 'The result of a trial the 'following year with the same cows was an additional profit of about 33 per cent. Mr. Hume, speaking of these cows ? says :—' Their province is the dairy, into which the cow is brought at the age of twenty-one months ; and if care is taken of her, she will continue there, breeding annually, until she attains the age of sixteen or seventeen years." + BIRKENHEAD COUNTY COURT ,k. :ce • CLAIM A GAINST 'A SCHOOLMASTER.-The pLainti. 111 this case was James Grippin, who sought to recover £3 from Dr. Podges, Principal of the New Brighton Col lege,under the following circumstances :--The plaintiff, some time ago, purchased a wrecked vessel, and about the end of September removed the stern-frame, in order to convert the stern-posts and timbers into fences and the like. After removing the stern, he drifted it on shore, and on going to the beach the next day to take it home, he found that it had been removed. He was informed that the pupils of the New Brighton College had taken it to make bonfires on the fifth of November. On going to the school he found his property (as one of the' witnesses said) emaciated and dislocated.. He then left the school and shortly sum of £3, at w hi c h h e estim a ted t h e dama ge . M r . ever, who appeared for the defendant, called witnessesader w after sent in a bill—to Dr. Podges for the oto prove that the defendant, after discovering to whom the property belonged, offered to restore it, and, further, that he only permitted the pupils to cut it up, in consequence of their stating to him that a soldier had given them permission to take it. His Honour considered that, oven supposing the boys had wilfully damaged the wood, he did not think the master was wholly responsible ; but as, from the eTidence, it did not appear that the damage was done wilfully to injure the plainntiff, he must give a verdict for the defendant. IMPORTANT ACTION AGAINST THE BIRKENHEAD B,AILWAY .COMPANY.--JOHN JONES C. THE BIRKEN HEAD RAILWAY COMPANY.--This was an action brought by John Jones, a cowkeeper, to recover £l3 16s. the value of a cow, which died through alleged carelessness on the part of the above company. The plaintiff, in his evidence, said that he purchased the cow at Chester for £l4, and being anxious to bring it to Liverpool, engaged a man to accompany it in the train. This man being for the time the consigner of the goods, signed a contract at the station stipulating for the safe arrival of the goods, but limiting . this provision by certain-conditions. Owing to some accident the train was detained at Warrington for about four hours, during which the plaintiff's cow was exposed to such an extent that it died shortly after its arrival at Edgehill. After its death he went to the office of the company, and was told by one of the clerks that they could do nothing for him. Some time after . the same clerk called upon and offered him £3, £6,, and successively, which he refused to take. Mr. Bretherton, who appeared for the Birkenhead Company, cross-examined the witnesses at considerable length, and succeeded in eliciting from almost every witness, that the cow having calved but a few hours previous to her removal in the train, it was at least a very hazardous undertaking to expose her in a train so soon after parturition. It was also shown that the utmost expedition was used in repair ing the accident, and that the company could not be blamed for the plaintiff rashly putting his cow in a train on a cold day. There were three other cows in the same truck, and they did not at all suffer by the exposure. —At the conclusion of the evidence for the plaintiff, Mr. Bretherton said that he had to make an objection against the present action in tote. By the decision in a case that was recently heard, it was ruled that in any action to recover compensation the consignor, as he was for the time being the owner of the goods, must be the plaintiff.—His Honour, however, overruled the ob jection, and, remarked that, he thought the man had acted very rashly in transporting the cow by rail while in such a condition. lie would consider the case, and deliver judgment on Tdesday next. THE LATE HANDEL COMMEMORATION FESTIVAL. - TESTIMONIAL TO MR. HENRY SUDLOW. Our musical readers, and others present at the two great Handel Festivals at the Crystal Palace, will re : member the efficient services rendered by a portion of the choir of our Philharmonic Society, under the able direction of Mr. Henry Sudlow. To mark their ajpre ciation of the value of Mr. Sudlow's musical and business talents (which are notorious, and often in request in musical circles, both in the metropolis and the provinces), the committee of the Sacred Harmonic Society have transmitted to him a Parka bust of Handel, mounted on a handsome pedestal, bearing a suitable inscription, and a photograph of the large orchestra used at the Crystal Palace in June last. Accompanying these in teresting souvenirs of the greatest musical event of modern times, is a letter, of which the following is a copy : Sacred Harmonic Society, 6, Exeter-hall, London, November 3rd, 1859. DEAR Sia,—The comniTtiee<;(&Se:cielHarmonic Society have requested me to convey to you their best thanks, for the very efficient and valuable services you kindly rendered to them in connection with the recent Handel Centenary Com memorating Festival, at the Crystal Palace. While they desire to assure all parties who favoured them with their co-operation of their grateful appreciation of the assistance they received in their efforts to ensure success to that great undertaking, it is a duty, which they feel much pleasure in discharging, to offer special acknowledgments and thanks for such important aid as they had the gratification to receive at your hands. Under a - sense, therefore, of their peculiar obligations to you, as a slight token, also, of their personal respect, and as a me morial of your having shared with them in the labour of this remarkable and interesting occasion, they beg your acceptance (in addition to the medal intended to be presented to every person who rendered any service in the festival) of a miniature bust of Handel, and photograph of the Handel Commemoration Festival Orchestra.—Believe me, my dear sir, yours very truly, T.

BERLIN, November 8. ' The Prussian Gtv,ette published an article of which the followinc , is a summary : " The Allgeneine Zeitung insists on its statement that the interview between the Emperor of Russia and the Prince Regent of Prussia has a tendency hostile to Enlland." . The same paper pretends that Prussia had entered upon the policy of France and Russia to isolate Eng land, and had promised to maintain an unconditional neutrality in case of war being declared by France against England: In ()icier' to support these absurd insinuations, the Allgenein,e Zeitung refers to the imaginary statements of some Prussian newspapers, which are known to belong to the opposition press, and which have a self-understood interest to disfigure every step of the Governmont for sake of obtaining a basis for its attacks against it. The :writers of the Allgeneine Zeitung place them selves, Eby their conduct with certain French journals, which, in translating the malevolent conjectures of the Prussian opposition press, transform them into positive [facts. These tactics may be considered ingenious, but hardly patriotic, or useful to the interests of Germany.

THE FREE LIBRARY TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, Srn,—Allow me, through the medium of your valuable paper, to make a suggestion relative to the Free Public Library, Duke-street. The suggestion I venture to offer is, that this room ought not to be closed op Satur days at four o'clock," but should 'be kept open to n much later hour. I am one, out of many, who. enjoy the privilege of leaving business at an earlier hour on Saturday than usual, and would' mbrace the opportunity thus afforded of visiting the reading-room were it opened—say only to 8 p.m. • Now, in making this suggestion, I . do so not from mere selfish motives, but from a personal knowledge that numbers of working men, and others, could more conveniently (than on other evenings) make use of the library on the night in question, and would gladly a v a il themselves of the opportunity thus presented of adding to their intellectual resources. It occurs to m e that the in l a greatibrarybeinmgeoapsuenree,d,toonkeSeaptumrdaenyiervoemnituigie dram-shops,, would low places of amusements, &c., &c. In fact, I think men could not prepare themselves in a better way for the approaching day of rest than by attending the read ing-room of the library the preceding evening; .and pe rusing the valuable books it contains. But in support= in extenuation of the present practice of closing the doors so early, it may be , said, the library mustbe closed at some p ti e llg on or s in charge for requirecleaning, e s . ; and again, that the relaxation from their duties. Well that is all very true, but can it not be cleaned in the morning before the b hour, of opening ; or if sufficient time be not afforded then, there is Saturday. forenoon (in which there are few attendants), 'why not close it then, up to, say, 3 or 4 o'clock, which would at once give sufficient time to clean, and allow a relaxation for the officials. Or if this is not expedient or con venient, I would suggest . that the room be shut one half-day in the week—but on no account, to be closed on Saturday evening, when as many, if_ not more, than on ordinary evenings would attend. Hoping these remarks may attract the eye of some gentleman in authority, who by his influence may obtain for us the required and long-wisbed-for boon.—l am, Sir, yours truly, E. G. WHOLESALE MARKETS TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMID Sin,—As the time to give notice to Parliament is close at hand, and you want a wholesale market, allow me to propose Gill-street. The present market has not answered, but can be made to do so as follows :—I be lieve there are two vaults under the market, let for about presentae. £lO per yea r . Fill t h ese vaults w i th soil, and make the market floor level with th e s t ree t , so t h at carts cogd yards covered, and you h ave a b out 50 yards uncovered ; li go Ne n bilat.iif. The youadd to the frontmark of e t p i e s in b bi o .o u k t lac 6 p 4 yards youd s b/ will a market about 182 yards long by 44 yards wide— say about 8,000 yards; to which add Great Newton street, 12! yards by 192 yards; Gill-street, 16 yards by 192 yards; and Dansie-street, 44 yards by 16 yards ; would give about 13,000 yards, of which 3,000 yards are now covered, which would be quite large enough, and this at a cost of less than £20,000. As keeping the carts in the neighbourhood of Queen-square, is quite out of the question,without reference to the great cost of money. The property to be taken in Great Newton street, Gill-street, and Pembroke-place, is property of small value ; and, by adopting this plan, it would com pletely relieve the neighbourhood of St. George's Hall and the approaches to the railway.—l am, sir, yours, &c., X. November 8, 1859. ENCROACHMENTS ON THE STREETS TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES SlR,—Your correspondent " Architect " has ventilated a subject relative to "no restrictions" respecting encroaching on pavements, &c., in Liverpool, by parties intending to build, that the sooner this important fact is discussed the better. To imagine that Liverpool is left to the caprice of parties intending to build or make alterations, without being subject to conform to certain restrictions, is so truly astounding that surprise is lost in amazement, and we are led to conclude that we have relapsed to " the good old days" of " sit at your ease and do as you please." Let this idea be ex pelled by an act of Parliament, obtained as promptly as possible, which will necessitate all to study public utility and not personal wishes.—Yours, &c., Liverpool, NON% 1859 VENTILATE + COURT AND OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE The Prince and Princess Frederick William of Prussia arrived at Dover at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, and left at 10 o'clock for Windsor Castle.
