OCTOBER 12. 1859. -ue Paid- to our town, and afterwards to Man chester, and some other important commercial and manufacturing places, was Most apropos, and doubtless, respectively, in each he would gain 111401 important and valuable information, and Rathe r many suggestions which may assist him a ll advancing the interests of that country to Which his earnest attention is now to be applied. The affairs of such an office as he has undertaken will make large demands upon his time and talents; and it does not, therefore, surprise us, th at he paused some time before he . undertook the laborious task which was proposed to him. Many prejudices he will have to encounter from the civil servants of the defunct East India 'Company, who will be naturally jealous of his authority and interference, where they have so long ruled paramount and undisputed ; and many astaales will he have to overcome, which they may not improbably aggravate, rather than moist in removing. But the right hon. gentleman a ppears quite alive to the magnitude of the trust "nirnitted to his charge, and in his valedic -4_ address to his constituents at Devonport, 4.4 e o ther day, he referred to it, we obser'e, in terms of deep solicitude. " The interests betw een England and India," he said, " were " ever y day becoming more and more important. " Their en -li snmption of the manufactures of this " count ry, the one hand, and their production " of all th :• nse raw materials which minister to the : 111thistr Y of the p eo pl e o f this country, on the << °ther hand, rende re d th e c onnexion between i tnbn and and India every day_ of greater and _ e ate r importance ; and he did not exaggerate when he said, that not only hundreds, thousands, << °f of thousands, but h un d re d s of thousands of hard working men in this country were at the .:?resent moment dependent upon the commerce 4, t b h etwe en those t wo ' countries ; and t h ey wou ld t, „ he ere fnre perceive the anxiety which existed in N°ltil of England, and the midland counties, as . to th e settlement of the question which had l ti sen from the, terrific war recently carried on 1 n that e°llntrj here can be -, the r _., : but one unanimous opinion upon 1 ,, -- eat i mportance o f our tra d e w ith the East — dies I tauch thatt is a lmost impossible to conjecture how zieree most and interchange of coin will b e _ magnified by the facility of com- tilnicati°n a nd tran s it which will be opened up, "'nen that vast continent is interlaced by a corn- Prehensive ' cur sor s ystem of railways ; the great pre of traffic and trade, as also a secondary the of civilization. The ready market which ka e raNV materials of cotton, silk, indigo, and 'wool will : find for the producer by that means of t_ i„ trans t t, will doubtless have the effect of stimula '44g the -natural indolence of the Asiatic, and 14411eill g a more extensive and a more careful tultivation of the soil. The ultimate prosperity °f India, and its eventual recovery from the ef fects of the late sanguinary rebellion, are only a question of time ; and that this'is an universal ffaceeliilintg; :iethuweebd; nol-better evidence than the . , — ten ,the loan was raised in the done market.

Italian "nationality" and "independence," kthetver, seem now to h e i n a very great measure lost e at , ". The only Government that really seems to I much about it, is our own.

It is not all improbable that Russia has such feelings, since she is not, like Austria or France, under any influence whatever from the Papal party in Italy, or in the Em pires concerned. And if Russia, Prussia, and England should de . cide an favouring the establishment of inde pendent Italian dynasties, we do not see how either France or Austria can long hold out against it. The Roman Archbishop Cullen's "pastoral," which was read in all the Ronian Catholic churches in Dublin on Sunday, is full of thunder against the national sys tem of education, and what, he stigMatises as ." Pro testant proselytising" in Ireland. And connecting the British Government with this, he denounces it as one infinitely less tolerant than even that of autocratic Austria,--ignoring altogether the idea of either British subjects having free institutions, or any real liberty, civil or religious. But the fact is, that in the prevalence of such institutions, and in the enjoyment of such liberty, all his grievances are centered. He talks of " bigotry and persecution," in• connection with British rule, and this mainly, if not wholly, on account of the very system of education and enlightenment against which he fulminates his wrath. The impudence of one thus imputing such oppressions, the character of whose own system is itself so full of thein, would be incredible, did we not know that it is a quality of mind, and a course of action, but for which that system could never have got the standing it holds, either in Great Britain or Ireland. The Association for the Promotion of Social Science has inaugurated its annual' meeting at Bradford in a very solemn manner. The character 'of the noble Presi dent for the year the Earl of Shaftesbury was stamped upon it at the outset. The opening proceed ings were inaugurated by a special service in the parish church, with a sermon by the Lord Bishop of the dio cese, who appropriately took for his text, " My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge ;" the right reve rend Prelate forcibly showing, that the knowledge, by the lack of which the people are destroyed, was Chris tian knowledge the knowledge of their duties as accountable creatures—and without which it is impos sible, in such a country as ours, that the condition of the people can ever become what it ought to be. _ _ "Wisdom," he declared, "is a defence, and money is a defence; but the excellency of diiine knowledge is that which gives life to him that hath -f--- THE LATEST NEWS. ..----....-- FRANCE.

The intended General of Parma issued the following proclamation the morning after the assassination of Anviti " While the . government is taking measures to uphold the majesty of the law, it feels that this is the moment for invoking the co-operation of all good citizens in the name of patriotism. You, who understand liberty, tell your fellow citizens that freedom cannot live without respect for the law. You who desire the redemption of your country, tell them that we must hope for it by maintaining order andi tranquillity. Tell them that by avenging the insults of tyranny, through the means used yesterday, they will instead prepare the way for its return ; they will afford it an opportunity of inflicting revenge a hundred-fold upon the people. Tell them that all Italy weeps over the crime of yesterday ; that only her enemies are glad." BOLOGNA, October 10.

THE CHRISTY MINSTRELS, whose stay in Liverpool is rapidly drawing to a close, still continue t o d raw large and delightd audiences to the Clayton. Hall. Those who have not yet seen them, should not omit the opportunity of doing so, as it will soon be lost. LIVERPOOL NORTHERN HOSPITAL.—The election of a physician to this hospital takes place to-day. As Dr. Collingwood appears to be the only candidate, who is a graduate of one of the universities, and therefore alone eligible, according to law, we suppose there is no doubt of his election. A WARNING TO STRANGERS.—YeACTday, two young Scotchmen, about to sail for New York, in the screw steamer Kangaroo, fell in with two or three well-known duffers of Liverpool, who succeeded in easing the pockets of the young Scotchmen of some 80 or 100 sovereigns, by . the exchanging system—that is, obtaining real sove reigns for California ones..

The meeting was addressed by gentlemen embracing different political opinions, and the utmost determination was expressed not to submit to outside dictation, .but to place Mr. Nickson triumphantly at the head of the poll. The unanimity of feeling manifested by all 'parties in the ward, renders Mr. Nickson's return certain.

FIRING UPON BRITISH VESSELS FROM THE BATTERIES AT TARIFA.—The Gem of the Sea, which has arrived at this port from America, was fired upon when passing. the Spanish batteries at Tarifa ; and yes terday, a 28 lb. shot, which was received on that occa sion, and which was lodged in her hull, was exhibited at the Underwriters' Rooms. Several other British vessels have been similarly assailed; and, no doubt, if the attention of the British Government has not already been called to the circumstance, they will soon be apprised of it, and take the necessary steps to procure explanation and satisfaction from the Spanish authori ties. CHILD STRIPPING AND ABDUCTION IN TRANMERE. —Parents and nurses should be continually, on their guard against the arts of the evil-disposed women who still, in considerable numbers, go about stealing and stripping children. On 'Monday, a little boy, three . and a-half years of age, the child of Mr. W. Wilcox, of Tranmere-park, was taken away from the door of his parents,_ and lured by an old woman as far as the Wood lands. Taki ng the boy into a field, the woman stripped him of his coat and frock, telling him that it was neces sary for them to be washed, and that he must remain there until she returned. . She threatened the poor little fellow that if he dared to stir she would "put bim down a great hole, and cover him up." For . three hours the c hild remained sitting upon a stone in the field, and crying bitt er l y , un til h e was a t length noticed and taken into the house of Mrs. Selkirk, just b efore nightfall.

THE PARMA ATROCITY, The Daily News observes that, though the legal guilt of the Parma atrocity falls upon the populace, a large share of the moral responsibility connected with it lies at the door of those who purposely prolong the cruel suspense in which the Duchies are kept. LATEST FROM AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE NOVA SCOTIAN, The Montreal Ocean steam-ship . Company's screw steamer, Nova Scotian, Captain Borland, arrived in Liverpool at a late hour last night, having sailed from Quebec on the Ist instant. The Nova Scotian brings 110 passengers, of whom 36 were first cabin. In leaving Quebec, she passed the Hungarian (s.s.) entering the port. • The funeral of Mr. John Head, son of his Excellency the Governor-General, took place on 30th ult. The public bodies and a large number of the citizens of Quebec went out to Spencer Wood to attend the melancholy ceremony, as a token of the sympathy they feel for the bereaved family. The San Juan difficulty was engaging consi derable attention in Quebec; but no additional intelligence concerning the immediate state of the dispute is conveyed in the files received by this arrival. The New Orleans papers received at New York contain detailed accounts - of the shooting of Dr. Robert M. Graham by Mr. ,Ernest Toledano, a brief telegraphic despatch in reference to which has been published. Dr. Graham, it appears, has been superseded as city physician, and chal lenged Toledano, who was the Know-Nothing candidate for clerk of one of the. o District Courts, as one of the parties instigating his removal ; but the challenge was declined. The affray took place in the Ruby Saloon, where they accidentally met. Graham thrust hl.l halid into the breast of his coat, as if to draw a pistol, whereupon Toledano pull e d ou t hi s revolver, and fired every barrel. One bullet struck the wall, and four entered Dr. Graham's right breast, all within a few inches of each other. Dr. Graham rushed out on the banquette, where he staggered half round, and fell into the street on his back. He was immediately picked up and carried into the bar-room, where he soon afterwards ex pired. The coroner's investigation established the fact that threats have been repeatedly made against Toledano by Graham ) and that the latter had sought for the former with the intention of taking his life. It was also shown that Toledano had been apprised of these threats, and knew that his life was in danger, and that in consequence he had prepared himself for, the worst. Under the circumstances, the jury did not hesitate to give a verdict of justifiable homicide. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. NEW lonic,. September 29.

DEATH' ram. ViOLENCE:. An investigation has lately been concluded at the Coroner's Court, relative to the death of Mary Brown, of 10, Gildait's-gardens. The particulars.of this case, whieh is of rather 3 mys terious character, are briefly as follows :—The 'decease& had possessedlgood health until the Saturday before-she died, when she complainedlof an illness, which continued to increase till Tuesday, when she exhibited several bruises on different parts of her body. The bruises, however she did not account for until a few hours before lie, death, when she declared to several persons that a woman named Helen Macbeth had infl4cted the injuries. Dr. AckerlPy was called, and he declared the cause of'death to be- disease of the pleura, occasioned, in somedegree, by external violence. The jury, after a' lengthened investigation, found that the deceased died from violence, but considered there was no evidence to implicate Helen'Macbeth. HOPE HALL LECTURES.—The first of a course of lec tures at this Hall was delivered last night, by. the Rev. W. Landels, of Lcndon, on "The foimaiation and source of true greatness. sley, ct introducing the lecturer, said he believed that both the lecturer and the subject were the most appropriate that could have been chosen for an opening lecture ; and he had no doubt the audience, after.hearing the lecture, would entirely coincide with his opinion. The lecturer then proceeded with his discourse,, in which he clearly demonstrated that in religion alone could real greatness exist. Man might be physically strong, he might be enslaved, and with mental energies of giant strength ; but if his soul and spiritual energies were not raised and enlightened by coMmunion with God; he could not be considered really great. The lecturer proceeded for up wards of two hours to animadvert upon his subject ; and notwithstandiu the extreme length to which he ex tended his remarks, was listened to with great attention by the large and respectable audience who attended.— The second lecture of the present course is to be deli vered on,Tuesday next, by the Rev. Robt. Maguire, on the " Historical, scientific, moral, and spiritual lessons derived from the construction of a watch."

CORRESPONDENCI [W do,rta hold ourselves responsible for the opinions. s f our correspondents.] NAIIXRALL WARD.-MEETING OF MR CEARNES" FRIENDS TO.'] IrF. EDITOR OF THE IVORTIIERN DAILY TIMES - - - - S iR, —Observing a report in a daily contemporary to-day, I was much surprised on reading it. I attended punctually at half-past seven o'clock on 'Monday night, the hour appointed to report the proceedtings, and waitedi until after eight o',elDck, when I was distinctly informed by Mr. Hearse and . other gentlenien Mr.. eearnes would not be present 'that evening, and that no. public meeting consequently woutd be held, unless a private one by the members of the committee. I. stated! that I had no object-in view only to give a fair and impartial report of the proceed ings. I was then again informed that I could not be admitted—that the mestang was to be private, but that a public one would be• held in a few days, of which due notice should be given. ; I then withdrew. if the friends of Mr. Cearnes are anxious fot fair, upright' dealing, rthirik they will accomplish the object they have in view more effectually b y a fait and free admission to the reporters who attend their meetings, than in making- any distinction between the representa tives of the daily journals.—l am, sir, yours truly, YOUR: tarORTER. Northern Daily Times Office October U,. 1859. - EVERTON AND KIRKDALEIVARD TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN HAPLY TIMES Sin,—Accor2ing to the statement of your correspon dent, "An observer," still - more important, in accord ance with the proved facts established at nearly every election for years past, Everton and Kirkdale Ward has been a stronghold, indeed a bulwark, of Conservative opinion and representation. In addition to all this, it is known from the revision that the registration.- list for Everton and Kirkdale is now more favoura ble to tho Conservative cause than ever. How, then, does it happen that, so far as present public appear ances itdicate, a Radical " twaddler," in the person of Mr. J. J. Stitt, is to be allowed to walk over the course in this pro-eminently Conservative Ward ? Let us b -- he 1- - " 'I- ^ ' tb aope, for t aonour of the Conservative cause ant. ,at credit of the Ward; that, on• the Ist proxiino, Mr. Stitt wilt be relieved of the burdens and the duties of office, and be replaced by a gentleman whose opinions and views are more in unison with the wishes of the electors. AN ELECTOR OF THE WARD. BOROUGH REVISION TO THE EDITOR GE THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES SIN-Mr. William Brumfitt having again appeared in print, in the _Deity Post, permit me, in reply to his second letter, to say that his information as to the length of time I have resided in Liverpool, is of the same nature as that which has led him to make the erroneous statements ho has done on the subject of the Revision. I have great pleasure in assuring Mr. Brumfitt that I have resided in Liverpool • upwards of nineteen years - quite a sufficient time, I think, to make myself acquainted 'with the "sayings and doings'' of the 'Reform Asso ciation." It is not my intention to deny that some parties did publish erroneous returns of the state of the poll at the last borough contest; but that such statements were pub lished or authorised by the Constitutional Association I have only Mr. Brunifitt's assertion in proof of, and he must excuse me if I hesitate to acknowledge him as an authority on which I can rely for information on that subject. Perhaps Mr. Brumfitt will have a recollection of the fact that, at the last contest for South Lancashire, a plaCard, signed by the Chairman of the Radical Com mittee, was posted throughout the town, accusing the Conservatives of issuing false returns of the state of the poll at THAT election; and, within an hour or, two after the posting such placard, a note was sent by the same chairman, to the Conservative Committee, apologising for issuing it, and admitting the correctness of the Con, servative returns With reference to Mr. Brumfitt's proposition, to leaire the truth of the rival statements to be decided by two members of each association, I most readily accede to it ; and so satisfied am I that the result of the de liberations will be to confirm my statement of fil& revision, that I shall have no occasion to avail myself of Mr. Brumfitt's offer for me to choose the umpire. • The last paragraph in Mr. Brumfitt's letter hardly calls for a comment from me ; all, but the wilfully blind, would see at a,glance the distinction made by me in the two statements gave : the former had reference to the number of voters actually struck of by Mc; and the latter the reduction from that number of the deaths and duplicates which, through struck off, do not absolutely constitute a portion' of the majority on the revision.—l am, sir, yours very repectfully, JOHN C. BRANCH. Constitutional Association, Prince's-buildings, North John-street ; 11th Oct., 1859 __.#___ UNITING LIVERPOOL WITH BIRKENHEAD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES STR,—The means of uniting Liverpool with her younger sister, Birkenhead, has no doubt occupied many a schemer within the last few, pears. lam one of them, and before setting up the excellencies of my own plan, I am bound to be sunk low enough to I. ::CZL 3 Impeain to point out the disadvantages in those of other people ; for instance, the idea - of - making a tunnel is coupled with the difficulty of getting into it, as, if we suppose the tube g ~.navigation of the ri7z,r, both ends will be so far under ground, that to 1 ~ get at them ' we must have either a corkscrew staircase, a la prquel at the Thames tunnel, or what he wanted, Ithere, a long slope like our St. James's Cemetery. My scheme is, that we take advantage of the natural sand bank deposited' at the bend in the stream near Toxteth Park, and put out a jetty there, which would only confine the stream to, what it wants to be, about half its width. Two or three narrow landing-stages would complete the chain, and join the railways between Monk's Ferry and Wapping, besides affording a carriage drive across, at a practicable level. This is high enough up the river to be out of the way, and one of the stages should be moved at times for the passage of flats and other craft.
