THIS DAY—Morning, 6h. 20m.... Afternoon, 6h. 51m. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1853 MORE glorious victories! Advices have been received from Constantinople up to the 25th ult., of a most warlike character. They an nounce additional victories on the part of the Turks, and the repulse and defeat of the Russians in several successive engagements, viz., at Sahiltz, after three sanguinary attacks—at the storming and subsequent capture of the fortresses of Saffa and Akirka, besides other victories at Abdi, Bajazet, and Chaftakil. And yet we hear of pend ing negotiations, conferences, and an Armistice ! And in the face of such stern announcements, the petty organs of Aberdeenism talk most seriously of a peaceable up-shot to this bloody struggle ! should like to know whether " the God of all the Russians " regrets his fatal policy—and if he should not like once more, to have an opportu nity of accepting those terms which he has so vauntingly despised. The details of the intelli gence thus briefly referred to, our readers will find in another column. THE proceedings of the Town Council of Liver pool, in the case of Mr. BRADLEY, puts us forcibly in mind of " the mountain in labour bringing forth a mouse I" After all the fuss, and bustle, and con fusion, and spasmodic throes, are over, lo ! we have but. a bag of wind—an " airy nothing"—the mere "fabric of a vision"—a puny sooterkin— nothing more— " The very mother would not know her son." Corporate bodies but too often make their " little brief authority" administer to the pettiest of tyran Hies. They assume a jurisdiction never conceded o theni;. and exercise a domination grievously to be borne. Hence they have become odious in the public eye ; and their dogmatism and domi neering, have earned for them no very enviable name or fame. The conduct of the Council of this Borough, in the case of Mr. BRADLEY, has been un. paralleled. We know of no precedent whereby its members could claim justification. They have as_ sumed privileges and responsibilities not even per mitted to those of the House of Commons ; as if they had ra special carte blanche, and letters pa tent, to act irrespectively of law or authority. Mr. BRADLEY is elected by the burgesses of a par ticular ward to represent their interests, and serve in the Corporation of the Borough. He is subse quently nominated, and apppointed, to sit in the Committees of the Council. By-and-by a contest takes place in Vauxhall-ward, relative to the return of certain candidates. Mr. BRADLEY takes an ac tive part therein, in favor of one whose election he is desirous of promoting. Soon afterwards Mr. HODSON directly charges him with bribery, on the ground of having made certain pecuniary pro mises, and condescended to other malpractises, in order to secure the return of the party for whom he was interested—and that, as a member of the Water Committee, he made clandestine use of the knowledge thus afforded him, to attain his object. Upon hearing of the charge, the Council imme diately suspends Mr. BRADLEY from exercising his privileges as a member of certain Committees, and directs that au investigation be made, and a report be drawn up thereupon. That report was pre sented on Wednesday, at the monthly meeting; and, as our readers will have seen from our last number, a verdict of guilty was returned—not, however, of bribery, but of having unlawfully and improperly influenced a voter named STOPFORTH, during the late contested election for the Vauxhall ward. Now, we maintain that the course pursued by the Council in suspending or prohibiting the ac cused member from the exercise of his functions as a Committee-man was most unjustifiable and unconstitutional. We thought it was the genius of English jurisprudence that every one against whom a misdemeanor is preferred is considered innocent until found guilty—and hence our laws alloW malefactors of every degree to plead " inno cent,".so that no advantage should be taken by the accusing party. But in Mr. BRADLEY'S case what is the fact? Why, upon the ex parte statement of Mr. HODSON,—whose temper, perhaps, was rather fiery at the time, having just escaped from the Vauxhall seat of war, after a terrible coutest, during which 'there was no powder fired—yet, npt withstanding, a terrible melee—the Council imme diately prejudges the merits of the case—degrades, as far as they can degrade, one of their body, on the strength of an unproven accusation ! He is still a Town Councillor—that position he cannot be deprived of—but he is not suffered to sit on any Committee of that Council. Like SINBAD, they are necessitated to bear the presence of one they most gladly would get rid of. But " there's the rub"—they can't ! So a new axiom has been added to science, viz., that a part is greater than the whole ! We have all been in the wrong (if the Corporation of Liverpool be in the right) in regarding the opposite as the infallible rule. But wonders will never cease—as long, at least, as there be nizy councillors and busy dabblers. Surely what Mr. FERNIHOUGH stated was about the most sensible remark made throughout the whole pro ceedings—" If a man is not qualified to sit as a " member of a fraction of a body, he is not qualified "to sit as a member of the whole body." Certes ! From beginning to end of this clumsy affair the Corporation have assumed a false position and adopted most unwarrantable and unprecedented steps. Had the charge against Mr. BRADLEY been such as was first affirmed, there was legal redress sufficient, and they were honestly bound to obtain the assistance of the Town clerk in instituting a prosecution in the proper quarter. If the offence charged was not of that henious character 'to Warrant 'snob! e3tireni6 - • Oteps being taken—then, we say, such a rumpus should not have been kicked'Up—and the matter should have been suffered to rest. View *it from what point we may, no justification or even palliation can be offered for the inquisitorial authority which those amateurs of Justice have. thought it their good pleasure to adopt. .1 - leaven save us from their sway ! for we fear 'it would not partake of " the character of mercy." But from the incidental remarks which fell from one or two speakers at the late meeting, it would appear that the offence charged against Mr. BRADLEY was not altogether confined to that gentleman. In fine, it was plumply stated that no single member of the Council could say " These hands, are clean !" and that to " beer and bad tobacco," one councillor boastingly attributed his election to office ! Bad as the latter was, however, some of the body seemed to " smoke" it—for cries of " hear" and " laughter," followed i the admission —no very creditable one, we must say, parenthe tically ! " Ich ache nur wie sich die Menschen plagen." We hope that the intelligent Burgesses of this important Borough will not permit such things to pass unheeded or unremedied. Their character, honour, influence, and interests, are materially concerned in the class of representatives they elect. - And if they do not in future exercise far more vigilance than they have hitherto, those dis graceful and graceless exhibitions which, from time to time, have been transacted in the Council chamber, will be repeated, and perhaps with in creased turpitude, and to a far greater extent. We shall return to this subject. THE South Lancashire calendar for the present winter exhibits a fearful picture of social degra dation, and impious vice. Its importance demands a recurrence to the subject. In addition to the ordi nary catalogue of crimes which appear to be inhe rent in the very system under which we live, we have that of murder by the knife. From whence we have borrowed a taste for this terrible crime is not the question. No less than seventeen wretches 'await their trial for stabbing; which number, when added to the cases which have gone before them, make an aggregate of 116 for - the present year. These the learned Judge divides as foll6ws :—" Of " the one hundred and sixteen, forty-seven belong to " this town ; fourteen to all the rest of England ; " forty-four to Ireland; one to Scotland ; one to the " Isle of Man ; and nine to foreign countries." By these figures it appears that Liverpool is becoming notorious for knife murders ; and judging from the rapid increase of the number of cases, it appears to be an evil for which there is no remedy beyond that which the law provides. To 'prevent one man from stabbing another is almost impossible. The very nature of the heinous crime is impunity. The weapon employed in the commission of the murderous purpose is almost beyond the power of detection. A knife may be carried in a man's hand in the public street, without exciting-any suspicion. Nearly every man employed about the docks and in warehouses requires the use of a knife in his work. Every tradesman must have a knife; and in fact it is an instrument which is, and must ; continue, in con stant and universal use. Nothing in the way of vigilance on the part of the police, can prevent the commission of . knife murders. The legislature cannot prohibit the use of knives. The law can deal with a murderer, but it cannot: deal with the knife. What, then, is to be done to protect society from so fearful a crime ? There are certain moral means at every man's hand, by which all that can be done is quite possible. Men who commit such crimes generally carry a foreshadowing of their propensities about them. The brutal ferocity required to enable a man to plunge a knife into the body of another, is not a mere impulse of a second. Those who commit such savage acts, are generally known for years by the vile savageness of their dispositions ; and we have known instances, where men who have been known to be the most heartless monsters living, have been retained in service, and passed over in society as beings of ordinary reputation. In this toleration of barbarity lies the root of the great social evil, with which we now have to deal, in its worst form. If men were to look as much to the diSposition and temperament of the people they have about them, and would lay it down as a rule to keep off all those who carry about them the unmistakeable traces of a ferocious character, the career of the Lancashire " Bowies " would be very materially impeded. Let the face of every man and woman be turned against those characters, whose actions leave no doubt as to their savage disposition, and society will soon have reason to be thankful. At present, the world is too fond of passing over acts of the most revolting cruelty, forgetful of the danger they run themselves, by pardoning a fierce and heartless monster, and the deep injury they inflict on the community, by facilitating the exist ence of murderously disposed villains in ease and comfort. By branding such beings with instant dismissal from employment, and with drawing all countenance from them, they would be forced to betake themselVes to other lands, or they would fall into that rank where they would be less likely to escape the punishment which awaits the offender. Without adopting some such course, we see but little hope of any decrease in the number of stabbing cases. In alluding to the case of the Wigan " turn outs," who were committed for trial as rioters, Mr. Baron' ALDERSON made use of the very words we have so often used in the : columns of the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, on the subject of " strikes." " The great want of " knowledge," he said, "on the part of the general " body of the people of the real causes which go " vern the rate of wages in the world is the princi pal cause of this evil." Mr. Baron ALDERSON strikes at once at the root of the great social evil, and goes on to say :—" If they did but know a little " more of that political economy which many peo " pie talk of, and so few understand, they would " see that this is not the way in which the thing " can be done even if it were desirable to be ac " complished." The diffusion of knowledge on the subject of sound political economy, has been but too long withheld from the operative classes of England, and for many reasons. At the present time we have a - n endless variety of orders of politi cal economy. Many supporting things as they are; others opposed to these again ; while those who aim at the subversion of existing institutions' are as numerous as they are popular with certain parties. In speaking of this great blank in the education of the manufacturing classes, the learned Judge goes on say It is lamentable that it should be so ; and " one cannot help thinking that it is from the want " of experience that this matter arises ; for the " shortness of life in the manufacturing districts " renders it such that the people employed there are " generally very young. The proportion of the " experienced to the inexperienced, then, is very " small, and it has been my unfortunate fate, in the " course of my official life, to come here and try in " succession persons of this description for the " same sort of offence. Every eight, or nine, or ",`.ten years, a new generation . arises. • They have " not the experience or the sufferings of their pre'- " decessers, and by their numbers they overbear `,.( l th; more experienced, and thus the thing arises " from tithe to time. I don't see how the thing can " be prevented, unless by a more general spread of " sound education amongst the people ; that is the ‘,‘ orly mode in which, to my-mind, the remedy can "be provided. If we could but do that—if we " could teach them what was really for their good, " they would cease to be the prey of empty-headed " fellows, as . they at present seem to be." It has seldom been our lot to read a more lucid exposi tion of the real causes of the great industrial de rangements we have witnessed from time to time. The wilful neglect of education on the part of the pare - its, in the humbler walks of life, is most un par6nable. Children are sent to school, to teach then their mother tongue, and the parent who neglects this duty not only robs the child of all hopes of success in life, but entails an absolute scourge on society. For this evil, which in an arti ficial state of society assumes an alarming aspect, the legislature must speedily find a remedy. Im mense cities, filled with many hundred thousands of souls, cannot exist if they be kept in ignorance of the simplest principles on which ,their existence dependsl; and much as we are opposed to all arbi trar: laws, we should hail with pleasure a -legis lative enactment which would make the neglect of education a punishable offence. If we need any statement of facts to support our views, we have them in the Judge's charge. To the want of education, he attributes the occur rence,of offences against the peace and prosperity of the people themselves. He does not see how the offences before him in his official capacity 'are to be prevented, " unless by a more general spread of sound education amongst the people." When a man who has evidently made himself master of his subject, speaks in this strain, from the most solemn seat of wisdom and justice, we hope . the anti-educational gentry who are heard to scoff at the thoughts of enlightening the great masses of our fellow-beings, will for ever " hold their peace." PRINCE ALBERT.—The prince consort has obtained the gold medal for pigs, at the Smithfield club show.

The accompanying dividend of 2s. per share is subject to a reduction of 2 per cent. for premium of exchange. UNION FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY.—On Wednesday night a public meeting of this society was held at Anderson's hotel, Fleet-street, London. Mr. Barthgate, the chair man, said the estate purchased by the society was in a situa tion the most beautifulin Middlesex, near Harrow, and on a suitable house being built on each allotment, the proprie tor or his nominee will be entitled to a first-class free pass, by railway to and from the Euston and Harrow station for eleven years. Resident proprietors would also be entitled to a presentation to Marrow• school. A solicitor from. North Wales, named John Edward Towne, in the prime of life, had been residing at the Tavi stock Hotel for the last five weeks. On Saturday evening, as he had not made his appearance all day, the proprietor ordered the bed-room to be , forced open, which was done, and deceased was found lying dead in bed, with a stocking and one of his braces tied. tightly round his neck. A bloody razor was lying on the table, . with which he had cut his wrist, exidently with the intention of bleeding himself to death. A FORGETFUL BRIDEGROOM.—The Boston Traveller tells the story of a man in Massachusetts, who applied to the proper authorities, a few days since, for a marriage sertifi cate ; but upon being questioned, he had forgotten the name of his intended bride. After some time - spent in silent thought, he remarked that the lady was named after some city in Massachusetts, and he rather believed that it was "Worcester." But when the couple stood up before the, clergyman, the lady, with a reproachful look at her careless love, stated that her name was Somerville. He must have been deeply engaged the day before in preparing for the election. NAWAR OF SURAT.—Atnong the passengers by the Ripon, which arrived at Southampton on Monday with the India and China mail, were several persons belonging to the suite of the Nawab of Surat. The Nawab came from Bombay to Suez in the East India Company's steamer, the Ackbar, and in. order to shorten the sea voyage to England as much as possible lie proceeded from Alexandria to Trieste in the Austrian packet, accompanied by several of his friends and servants. The rest of his suite came home in the Ripon. Surat was the first place at which the Mogul Emperors allowed the English to establish a factory in India. The principal persons in Surat were fire worshippers. The. Nawab's servants were dressed in the pictu resque costume of their country; one of them smite Erfglish fluently. and grammatically. They cooked for themselves on board the Ripon. The only thing tliey would eat which had been touched by Christians was bread. They killed the fowl , they ate, and cut the throats of the sheep, which furnished flesh• for their own table. The Nawab's object in voting England is to prosecute some claim which he has on the British government. East Lancashire MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY EVENING. The position of the bullion market at this mo ment engrosses nine-tenths of the public attention. The value .of consols is measured by the effiux and influx of the precious metals. A Russian draft for a miserable balance of cash in hand, for the " sale of stock for money," by some woe-begone " lame duck" on 'Change, is enough to cause a de preciation off to I per cent. on the floating amount of our national securities. Fortunately the amount of stock actually floating, or what is agreeable to jobbers, becomes less every year in proportion to the individual and national prosperity of Great Britain. In 1845-6, the amount of stock held by persons having the absolute power of sale and pur chase was estimated at 14,000,000/. only. Since that period large sums have passed into the hands of large private and public trusts, and thereby cease to be marketable. Let us assume, then, that within the last seven years 5,000,0001. of stock have been taken up on trust, it would leave but 9,000,0001. floating on the market. Now, the great evil is, that the less the public have to do with the public stocks the greater power the wily jobber has over the market. The purchase or sale of a few thousand -pounds worth of stocks is enough to lower or advance the quotations of the day by quite per cent, and in order to carry out their object, the exports and imports of bullion are used as "the pretence." lt, therefore, behoves those whose money is invested in trade and commerce to see what connection exists between the value of a commercial bill of exchange and a government security of equal amount. The former represents an actual transaction—goods sold and delivered— the latter is a mere promise to pay, the fulfilment of which depends on a thousand political conse quences. Here, none but the most expert gam blers could decide the comparative value of the two securities. And it is by this gambling deci sion that our Stock markets are ruled. In fixing on the imports, and exports of bullion as the pivot on which the price of stocks are to revolve, the jobbers are rather unfortunate. At the present moment, Australia may be said to owe England 10,000,0001. This amount is represented by bills which range from three days' sight to twelve months' date. Now, as far as these bills have gone, and they amount to many millions, for the last two years we have not had one defalcation. And we •find the gold fields—the actual source from which they have paid—promise daily to be more prolific than ever. This fact cannot be disputed even by the organs of the great bullionist " Bears " of Threadneedle-street. And when we turn, to America, we find precisely the same state of things. When we announce the arrival, week after week; of half a million, or a million, of dollars, the general exclamation is,—" Oh! this cannot last. America must have her gold back again." We feel for those who sell their Console and bona fide Railway Stock under such an ina7 pression. - The fact is, that while America is send ing us so many hundred thousands of dollars per month, she is receiving near as many millions. By the four last packets she has sent us about 1,583,358 dots., while, in the meantime, she has received from California in the month of September, 4,340,573 dollars. At this rate it will take many years to exhaust the States of their bullion ; and when we hear of nuggets of 1141bs. weight in Australia, surely the bullion imports and exports can be no just cause for the "advances" and " declines" we notice daily in the value of our public securities. Gold must come to this country, and a" Bull" ac count, based upon this fact must succeed, and the ".Bears" must suffer, whether they sit in the parlour of the Bank of England or on the " Bear" side of our own local Share Market. Consols varied so, much to-day, that we can only quote the closing prices 948 to 95k. After official hours they were done at 941 er divdend. Reduced 95a to 94*.

Spinners of mule yarns, for India, are rather firmer, though no heavy purchases . are. being made, and, therefore, without bffering.any further concession to induce purchases, they willingly accept orders at the prices current last week. The same remarks will apply to India shirtings, and, on the whole, the general expectation is, that on the turn of the year a fair business 'will spring up. The only branches of the trade which are not improved are in fine numbers and • doubled yarns; for the former of which lower prices have been accepted, and the latter, though not quotably lower are still dull of sale.
