They waited until the Admiral had Pulled up one row of the stakes, and had com- menced to pull up a second, before they fired uPon him. Therefore, says the Captain, " I " think you cannot call the Chinese treacherous." T his is - the substance of the account the Bishop o f Durham's son gives of a conflict which has cost us a sad sacrifice of life, and most grievously e tabroiled- the. diplomatic .relations . between the two countries. We very much regret the reflection which Captain LONOLEY felt himself called upon to Make. , c Ido not think," he observed, " that we "show them very good examples of Christianity, or teach such good customs, that they need to imitate them." It appears that Lord ELGIN found the people in the interior of the country ranch more favourably disposed to us than they are at Canton and other places, where, it ap- Pears, they have experienced much injustice at 'kr hands. Have we not, then, ourselves very tn uch to blame for many of the difficulties and troublea we encounter in China ? NOTES OF THE DAY It appears to be pretty generally inferred, in the Politi cal ' circles of both the French and English capitals, that in Louis fiord Napoleon' s add ress to the Archbishop of eaux, he disti nc tly i mp li es th a t there is a point from twhich Pranc e can no 'farther advance, in support of the Papal Government ; and the conclusion, therefore, is, that the Papal p o li cy w ill , ere l ong , b e l e ft t o stand or by .its own m er it s. Th i s d ec i s i on, if suc h it b e , of t he Prench E mperor, is regarded, moreover, as only ° P e ning still wider the breach between himself and the Pa pal party th roughout Europe. His having made war 11Pon Austria was regarded as, in some respect, a hostile .nvelnent against Rome ; and when he withdraws Ins tro ops from the Holy City, it will evidently be t aken f or granted, that he is no longer committed to the o.,* nterest s of Papacy. Should this be so, we do not e that the cause of civil and religious liberty can ve otherwise than benefited, either in France or in Italy. The Di c t ator of Parma, General Farini, has seen the fl__essity, not only of branding as a great crime the murd er rder of C ount Anviti, b u t o f a t l e ngth insisting upon action for the sanweinary deed.

The Post remarks that in form nothing can be more calm, courteous; and dignified than the Imperial ad dress ; in, substance it takes up the gauntlet which the French - clergy has thrown down. It unhesitatingly affirms there is a point from which France can go no further in her armed support of the Papal Government, and that the Papal policy will . shortly be left to stand or fall by its own merits. THE ITALIAN QUESTION.-WAR RUMOURS A Paris letter in Le Nord professes to give the substance of the last conversation of the Austrian Ambassador with the Emperor Napoleon, at Biarritz. The Times says of the present breach in the work of the last few months :—English, Irish, Spanish, Belcrian, and Italian priests were against Napoleon because - he made war on Austria, and Austria was the corner-stone of the. Papal edifice. In his Majesty's speech at Bordeaux we have the language of a man who knows his power, and also shows the strength of it, and is not foolish enough to think that the compact organisation of Rome can be made to yield without vigour, skill, and perse verance. The address of Garibaldi, telling the Italians to prepare for new struggles, may be the first trumpet note to a greater struggle than ever has been anticipated —a struggle with the oldest and strongest despotism the world has ever seen. _ _ Lord Cowley was present. The reasons which induced Austria to insist on reproducing the treaty of peace—the preliminaries of the Villa franca arrangement—as regards the recall of the Archdukes, were developed at great length. In reply, the Emperor Napoleon asked, " What would be the use of this, if the restoration of the Princes, owing to the unanimity and energy of the populations, could not be carried out ? An nexation," he added, ` was an act of another kind, and Europe would be free in a Congress to accept or reject it, without exciting fatal conflicts." Prince de Metternich, in conclusion, declared, " that Austria would n.at sign the treaty of peace if it were not in accord with the preliminaries of Villafranca ;" and added, " that he profoundly regretted an incident which would adjourn the renewal of amicable relations between France and Austria." The Daily News remarks that the news from Central Italy promises to become exciting. Garibaldi proclaims - to his soldiers that the hour of a new struggle ap-: proaches. The Pope has left Rome : when to return no mortal can tell. The Sardinian Minister, too, leaves Rome. While these things are happening, the Emperor Napoleon solemnly warns both prince and people that before long he will withdraw his soldiers from Rome, and that their own wisdom and patriotism must suffice for whatever crisis may arise. Another Belgian journal, the Independance, says that, at Turin, it is expected that Austria desires to protract negotiations till the spring, when she will recommence the war. Another rumour is, that Austria has undertaken to guarantee to the Pope the conservation of his temporal power in the legations.

Mr. Marcus, of railway pleasure trips notoriety, exerted himself most efficiently during the day, and in the evening, in receiving the money at the door We would invite all who have not yet paid a visit to this gorgeous exhibition to embrace the present opportunity, more particularly as it has for its object the support of an institution, which, in its social character, cannot but commend itself to the warmest feelings of our nature. HEALTIT COMMITTEE.—The usual weekly meeting of Mr. Alderman Dover, presiding ; there were also pre sent--Messrs. Beckwith, Crellin, Hodson, Crosthwaite, LIVERPOOI POLICE COURT --YESTERDAY rßefore Mr. MANsriELD.I ROBBERY OF L A GOLD WATCH FROM A BEERHOUSE.— Allied Livingstone was charged with stealing a gold watch and chain from the beerhouse of Sigfuld Jacobi, Bolton-street. Detective-officer Redman said that,. from information he received, he proceeded to the house of Jacobi, and learned that a gold watch and chain had been stolen from the bedroom. When there, he saw four men playing bagatelle in a room which communicated with the bedroom by a flight of stairs. He (Redman) suspected Livingstone, who had previously been a lodger in the house, and he took him aside, and askel him several questions. Livingstone denied that he knew anything about the watch, that he had not been up stairs, nor had he seen any one go up. Still Redman had suspicions; but Jacobi, the owner of the watch, sus pected another man, who offered to go to the police office and be searched. As nothing tangible could then be discovered, bills describing the watch were sent round to all the pawnbrokers, and in a very short time infor mation was received that a watch answering to the de scription given had been pledged in a pawnbroker's in Brownlow-hill. Redman and the owner went to the pawnbroker's, where the watch was identified. The pawnbroker gave a description of the man who had pledged the watch, and as the description agreed in every detail with the prisoner's appearance, he was taken into custody. The pawnbroker identified him. The prisoner acknowledged stealing the watch, and di rected Redman where to find three sovereigns, part of the money he bad obtained on pledging it. When asked by Mr. Mansfield what he had to say to the charge, he replied, through an interpreter (being a German) that he did take the watch, but that he was in utter destitution, and had been starving.—Mr. Mans field said that if he had been an Englishman, he should have inflicted the heaviest penalty the law allowed ; but he being a foreigner, and not knowing the laws and usages of the country, in connection with his utter destitution, had tended to reduce the crime, and he should only send him to prison for one month. FURIOUS DRIVING.-James Potter, a cab-driver, was charged by Officer 214 with furious driving. The officer said that on the previous evening, between eight and nine o'clock, the prisoner was in Lime-street. He was drunk at the time, and was driving his cab at a furious , rate—at not less than twelve miles an hour, endangering the life and limb of her Majesty's liege: subjects.— Prisoner said he was not drunk, and as for his horse moons your worship, con' " I only paid 525. fid. for the horse in the morning. I worked him all day ; and don't you think it preposterous that the animal could then go at the rate the policeman states ?"—Mr. Mansfield said it was no matter what the horse cost, there was no doubt he had been driving furiously, and he must be • fined 40s. and costs, or one month's imprisonment. RUNNING OVER BY A CAB-DRIVER.—Thomas Taylor, who drives a cab belonging to his father, William Taylor, Lydia Ann-street, was charged with running over a child named William Bukenshaw, six years of age, and son of a policeman, Greenland-street, on Satur day evening. About dusk on that evening, the cab was going down Greenland-street, when the child got under the wheels, and received such injuries that its life, is despaired of ; indeed, it is hardly possible that it can survive. The lad is lying at the Southern Hospital with his legs, pelvis, and skull fractured.—Mr. Cobb appeared for Taylor, and denied that any blame could be attached to the prisoner. It was the fault of the child's parents that it was runninc , about the streets at such an hour,--A witness stated that the horse was only going at a walking pace at the time, and that it was the hind wheel of the cab which had Jun over the child, and the prisoner could not avoid the accident. —Mr. Mansfield said there seemed to be no blame on the part of the driver of the cab, who was accordingly discharged. (Before Messrs. SHIEL, S. HOLME, and TURNER.) Mr. Bremner appeared on behalf of Mrs. Mary Lee, who applied for the transfer of her public-house license from Sir Thomas's-buildings to Smithdown-lane. The property has been purchased by the Corporation, for the purpose of being thrown awn, preparatory to improve ment. Under these circumstances Mrs. Lee was entitled to the transfer, but he understood that Mr. Mellor was in attendance that day to oppose the application. He would, however, object to Mr. Mellor speaking.—Mr. Wyburg said, as a ratepayer he had a right to oppose the application, but at present Mrs. Lee was the only person entitled to the transfer.—Mr. Bremner was of opinion that Mr. Mellor, as a ratepayer, had only a right to speak on two points—and to those two points he would confine him—the respectability of the party making the application, and the eligibility of the premises.—Mr. Mellor said that he had a lease of the house from Mr. Godfrey Drake. He had advanced money to the husband of Mrs. Lee—in fact had set him up in business, and had consented to him having a license. Since he had died, Mrs. Lee, as sole executive, had got the license into her own name.— The Wyberz, who, in answer to a question *Om the bench, said that the Corporation had not yet got possession of the house in Sir Thomas's-buildings, and, as a rule, he had not given a certificate ; but arrangements had been made with Mr. Godfred Drake for its purchase.—Mr. Bremner argued that Mrs. Lee' was fully entitled to the transfer. The Corporation did' not sell licenses, and conlequently when they deprived her of her license, by throwing down her house, they were morally, if not legally, bound to supply her with another license. — Mr. Mellor again objected to the transfer. He had not received rent for three years, and at last assizes he was compelled to bring an action for ejectment. He now . - claimed the license, as he wanted to give it to some one else.—Mr. Holme here drew a plan of the house for which the license was intended, and the magistrates premises were not's s uitable for a public-lious, DEATH OF MR. ROBERT STEPHENSON COURT AND OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. Her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and the other mem bers of the Royal Family, left Balmoral yesterday (Thursday.)

A Cabinet Council will be held to-morrow CORRESPONDENCE [We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions of our correspondents.] THE DERBY BANQUET, ,-ADDRESSES TO THE PEOPLE TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES observed, a short time ago, a proposal in the columns of your influential journal, to the effect that an opportunity should be given to the less wealthy class of Conservatives in this town, to hear an address from some of the distinguished leaders of the party, who are about paying us a visit. As the Right Honourable Benjamin Disraeli will be in the neighbourhood, I am sure he would, with his usual courtesy, accept an invitation to meet the Conser vatives at the Amphitheatre, if those who are the leaders of oul party in this town would only take the matter up, and carry it through. humbler classes of the party, and that whilst the rich will be enabled to .enjoy the treat in store for them at the Philharmonic-ball, they should not forget their humbler brethren, who, I am sure, would relish, and quite as well enjoy, the pleasure of hearing their great political chiefs. Hoping that through your valuable assistance this object may be attained, I remain, sir, your most obedient servant, A CONSERVATIVE. Castle-street, Liverpool, 13th Oct., 1859. [We very heartily second the motion of our corres pondent, and trust that it is not too late to give due effect to it.--ED. N. a T.], UNITING LIVERPOOL WITH BIRKENHEAD, TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES - SIR, I admire your correspondent's modesty, "W. 5.," in writing on the excellencies of his own plan, and pointing out the disadvantages of others. Oh wad some power the giftie gie us, To see ourselves as ithers see us ; It wad frac mony a blunder free us, And foolish notion." How any educated man in his senses could advocate the - • advantages of a plan for connecting Liverpool with. Birkenhead, having its source commencing at Toxteth park, or thereabouts, I cannot conceive. 'What earthly benefit would it be to direct into that course the enor mous traffic centering in and about the Exchange ? I must confess I really cannot imagine. Perhaps "W. S." has not yet seen the river Mersey. For charity's sake, I should think, it may be taken as granted hehas not ; otherwise he would never have perpetrated such a piece of absurdity as that which appears recorded against him in your publication of this date. How is the passage of the mail steamers to and from the Sloyne, that of the ferry steamers to and from their respective destinations, and smaller craft to and from Runcorn, provided for ? Is "W. S." on the qui vine for the office of bridge over seer ? If so, perhaps he will design some plan by which this passage may be maintained, without interfering with the traffic at the same time. At present I don't see how it is to be done, nor have I auy idea how he IDurpses to contend with the fogs that prevail, more or less, during the winter months, when it is by no means improbable the whole of his machinery might be carried away in one tide. What would the conservators of the river say to any fixed projection ? • It is to be hoped "W.

Norway he became unwell. his liver was -so much affected that he hurried home, and when he arrived at Lowestoff he was -so weak that he had to be carried from his yacht to the railway, and thence to his resi dence in Gloucester-square, where his malady grew so rapidly as to leave-from the first but faint hopes of his recovery.

"that his death, which took cumstance followed so closely on that of the great engineer, whose life was cut short only a few weeks since. The Napoleon of engineering passed away at a moment when his genius had achieved a victory over matter at which the civilised world is still wondering; but though the great works which have made Stephenson's name illustrious, are not in every case so brilliant as those of Brunel, their effects pervade every branch of engineering, and for the quiet good which they have worked, and will to the end of time work on society, they are unrivalled. More—out of all comparison more than to any other man, except his father—our wesent system of railways owes its existence to him. George Stephenson is generally, and with truth, looked upon as the 'father of railways,' but it is his son who has laboured incessantly, and with such striking success, during the many years of his professional life, to perfect the complicated edifice whose foundations were already laid when his career began." Robert Stephenson, the celebrated engineer, was born in 1803, at Wilmington.ln 1822 he was sent to the Edinburgh University, and the year following commenced his apprenticeship as an engineer under his father, the proprietor of a steam engine manufactory at New castle. lie remained two 28, and t h Venezuela. enseozbujeoloat. of O railwaysn his ,as years in this situation, at the end of which he set out upon an expedition to ex p l o re the g old and silver bt mines oegiEnnngig Columbia n o nl f adtin 8 oreceive considerable attenti on , an d a reward of £5OO had been offered for the best l ocomo ti ve , which should consume its own smoke, weighno more than six tons, with its complement of water, and draw a train of 20 tons at the rats of 10 miles an flour.
