According to all accounts, the Danubian Princi palities are getting more and more troublesome. Despatches received to-day from the French Consul-General are said to confirm what has already been stated, namely, that the ultra-Radical party at Bacharest is urging the 'population to extreme measures. It appears that a steno in the style of the famous oath in the Tennis-eourt of Versailles had nearly taken place. Baron Talleyrand is, instructed to do his best in moderating this effervescence of the public mind, which, if not intentionally provoked, might have - been discou raged froin the beginning. The Consul, however, adds that the intervention of all the European - agents, teitlioat exception, will .preserve the country from further agitation. The Moniteur di la Flotte publish efi a letter. received 'frinn China' by the list' mail, which contains' some particulars relative ,to the Miksion of the Russian Admiral, Count Putiatin, to that country. The Count reached the Russian settlements on the Amour in 'seventy days. He embarked on board of the Russian steamer America, and visited the Gulf of Petelaili previous to his arrival at Shanghai. It, was reported that he was accompanied by four other, Ships of war. but that fact is very doubtful. it is known that at Peiho he forwarded a message to Pekin, and it is thought that when he quitted Shanghai with out mentioning his destination it was to seek the reply to that. message. Admiral Putiatin's secretary,, is, it appears, a person who resided twelve years at Pekin as chief of-the College of Interpreters. The Russian Plenipotentiary announced at Shanghai that •he came to .a.et in concert with the British and French Ambassadors, and that he entertained no doubt of their being received at Pekin ; but he NV So f opinion that the Emperor would notalloaiof any permane at legations in his capital. A letterfroin Singapore of the Ist 'October mentions that the French frigate Audecieuse had made the passage train the Cope in 51 days; and the 'Conemandei• was to leave on the 2nd October to joineAdmiral Rigault de 'Crenouilly, who was at anchor in Castle Peak Bay. The Frenen corvette Capricieuse and the - screw transport Durance were anchored at the. month of the Yang tse Kiang on Sept. 14. They - hal fortunately escaped a typhoon, ; which caused much damage among the i"shipping at Shanghai. Typboous had set in with I much violence in the north of China, but uone had ,been experienced in the south. The French Admiral, : the Monithur 'adds, had stationed his I ships so as to be safe feom their effects. In addition to the foregoing, the Pays says : We have interesting intelligence from, China. At the. last dates the mixed transport the Meurthe, the steam despatch boat the Marceau, and the first-class gun boat the Dragon )n, were anchoreciin the roads at Hongkong. The Adhairal's frigate the Nemesis, the steam corvettes -Phlegethon and. Primauguet, and thefirst-class gun boats the Avalanche, Fusee, and M.traille were at Thengkol, and the despatch boat Catitiat had returned from Tonkin, where it was said she succeeded .in her mission, and had anchored at Macao on the 19th.. The typhoons and the hurricanes which raged with fearfu'. violence the whole month of. September, had completely destroyed Nao-Paek, a small town on the east coast. , A private letter from Madrid, of the nth, 'says • This day's Gazette gives the decrees changing the Civil Governors of provinces in the way I annoancsd some days ago. All the creatures of Nocedal are sent about their business,. and,- generally . speaking,, the selection of their successors has found favour with the public' .."11,4 evening Armero and O'Donnell were seen - Walking on. the Prade very lovingly together. I need hardly. say.that ehis gave rise to a vast number of rumours about the inclination of the Cabinet to a reconciliation with the Vicalwariste, and the list of new Civil Governors comprises some of that fraction. These appointmenti, moreover, seem to betray a tendency to a dissolution of the Cortes. Discoveries of a grave kind have been made this last week in several ministerial departments. The question is a delicate one, and I deem it better to say as little as aiessible, as far as names are concerned„ ,until the Royal Council,. to which the varions reports liavoteen addressed, his decided. Oee of 'these affairs has reference to the War office, and the alleged irregularities of a functionary who is d smissed from his post. A Chemberlain . the Emperor of Russia is_ at present in Paris commissioned to engage professors for the ek'eedeiny of Music Which is under organi zation at St. Petersburg, Fould, Minister of.

The following telegraph has been received : • TURIN, Nov. 19. . - The scrutiny which took place yesterday has giveti 58 difinitive nominations, of which 45 are Miaisterialist ; 13 Velong to the Opposition of all shades. The struggle has been very animated in the -electoral colleps. The engagement of Mr. Roberta, --the American wagedian ' concludes with this week . Daring the Week, h e appeared twice as Sir 'Wiles Overreach, a d also as King John, chard the Third, and other characters. In some instances the audience?, al though not numerous, appeared enthusiastic, but we cannot express a very high opinion of the actor's performances. Witt' the recollection of some, E ven'of the present English tragedians, it would be scarcely poSsible to express decided approval of Mr. Roberts impersonations. In the repro t.entation of " A New Way to P, , y Old Debts." 'Mr.' taker's admirable performance of the character of Marra, 4 part in which .he has frequently earned the highest , approval in Liverpool. was by far the most' Cense:anon.; texture of merit. Madame Auriol and Mr. Flexmore also 74formed during the week in the ballet of ‘• Esmerald4" 1' others, and were no less warmly than deservedl y ~ blended.

Thomas had a full hall at his benefit yesterday evening. The concerts tais morning and evening will be In last of the series, and we trust will be also crowded. 4 , 0 the morning Mendelssohn's " Midsummer . Nigh t ' s Dream" music will be given by particular deSire. Haydn's quartette, " God Save the Emperor," played llast night by Messrs. Thomas. Carrodue, Bsetens, and Lidel,ewill be repeated. Mr. Ala', cock will give a solo on the clarionet, and Miss Louisa Vinning will sing two songs. In the evening this young lady will take her benefice and , conclude the short hearten with effect, as regards the performances, Whatever may have been the deficiencies as regards patronage- Mr. Thomas has fulfilled his part of titLe contract, and ha s produced all the novelties and old favourites announced ; but from the small number of the concerts, and the short notiee given of the progremes of the evening. many cf the pnblie have been dtsappoin ed in not hearing the novelties more than once. 'I hey should have been produced earlier in the season than they were, and their Popularity or merit having been tested, they could have been repeated or not, m they deserved. It may be diffi cult to arrarge 'hese things. but, if possible, it should be accomplishes, andehe concerts would be more trerac,ive. The same parties can scarcely be expee'ted to go every nigh . ; other engagements will interfere, but if the- public knew beforehand when novelties or specialities were to be Played, they might be able to arrange accordingly., THE PEOPLE'S CONCERTS, GEORGE'S lIALL. Byron, or somebody else, it matters ry)t whom, his said, "methinks I hear a little bird that sings the 'people bye and shall be the stronger "And there never was a saying more truly exemplified than in the instance of the People's concerts at the Hall The people are no doubt, musical in taste, and certainly where an opport:nity Offers within their means, they are never slack in em brac „ bag the privilege. The success of the brilliant concerts got up lately at the Hall, prove our reinitrk4,. Talent that could not possibly be produced's.: any other place, under an enormous price for admission, is here presented to the people at charges within the reach of all, and we are hap py to say that the people appreciate this boon by fl )cking to the Hall in 'thousands, and all are truly delighted at the performance. We need not offer a word more, than point to the programme of this evening— and to say that vie,hear that the Orpheus Glee Union will make a second appearance at one of the Saturday night concerts, at George's Hall ; Regondi, the wanderful concertina 'layer has also been engaged to play some of his mcst 1: 0 )pular fantasias at these concerts.

M NS. HAMBURG! R AT TIIE COI , CERT HALL London, Glasgow, and Manchester have each, in a more or less degree, suffered from the g reat monetary crisis of 1857 ; but it has been reserved for Liverpool to float almost scathless through the alarming and momentous crisis. Whether this "good fortune" is to be attributed to tile presence of " two real Wizir's" we know not, but Certain it is that we have been blessed with less" of the " difficulties of the times" than cur neighbours, and that each of these " Wizarding Sprit." have been doing a good business on their own account. The gentleman whose tame heads this notice appeared bef_re the Liverpool Public a few years since, when he met with the most decided success. Sojourning and " trivals in many lands" have much improved Mons. Hamburger himself, and, also, the excellence of his Entertainment, and he is now reaping a good harvest in return for his labours. This morning, at two o'clock, a performance will take place at the Concert when some of the most recherche of his tricks will be presented to the notice of his Patrons. We may mention that amongst them the " favourite," and celebrated" "Gun Trick," fcr which is introduced in a new awl original style pecu'iar to thi.i "King of Wiz Yds." The beautiful "Bird Prick" le also worthy of special attention, where the birds are apparently decapitated, and then suddenly " taken unto themselves wings and fly away." The astoundinit "Flag Trick , may also be mentioned as one that affords the highest gratification to the audience, who ever evince their appreciation of so novel and magnificent a presenta tion. The many other novelties an - I astounding slight el-hand" following in quick succession upon the other, affords the highest gratification to interested audiences ''ho have during the past week p atronised his exertions. "e understand that araangements have been made, 'thereby the " King Wizard" will appear at the Teutonic nall next z , week. THE NORTHE RN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, SATUR DAY, opponents." If they work - well at the second elec. tionsthey will have a Strong majority. According to the estimate of the clericals themselves, these have but sixteen acknowledged supporters as yet elected out of 115 colleges For the second elections which have to take place in . many of these colleges they put forward twenty eight candidates. If half of these won, which is at least doubtful, they still would have but thirty votes out of 115 But it must be borne in mind, in explanation Of the anxiety of the Liberals, that the Chamber consists but of 204 members ; and when two-thirds of them are assembled it is more than the average, and that- a well-managed Opposition; with a good whipper-in, which keeps its members "on the spot in readiness to combine (when the occasion offers) with another and weaker party equally hostile to the Government, is an adVersary not to be despised The .Liberal papers of all shades to-day preach union. Some of them would, have done better to have thought of this rather "sooner, On Sunday, the very day Of the elections, the Diritto, organ of the Left, was ..busy sowing dissension. To-day- it does not retract, but declares that this is no .moment for discussion, and swells the cry for concord and harmonious action. The want of this has certainly been' very injurious to -the Constitu tional cause. Overweening confidence; leading to the most erroneous estimates, has been the root of the evil. The Liberals, if not blind-to the proceed ings and efforts:of the Priest party, at least under rated-their importance, and almost deSpisocl them. Extravagant calculations were indulged in asto the results of the elections by men .wheste position at:d Opportunities should have,enable&them. better to know what was going on. Thus it was said that Solaro della Margherir a would be hard run-to obtain a seat ; and that,, although he would got in. it would - only be because ho was pnt up at. so - many places, at some - of which be would„ doubtless, succeed. Now the returns hitherto known show his election in three diff,.rentcolleges In contrast , ,to his success of the champion of the Right, is the . position of, the two least popular of the Minister's, Signori B:attazi arid. Lanz 1, who go to second elections : and the latter Of whom, it is -thought may possibly be there defeated. TWO ENGLF.SH. ENGINEERS FIELD CAPTIVE BY THE KING 'OF NAPLES. NAPLES, Nov. 14 THE -CRISIS. STOPPAGE OF THE WOLVERHAMPTON AND - STAFFORDSHIRE BANKING , COMPANY. The deputation of directors; who went up to L'.:ndon; for the purpose of obtaining, if possible, an advance of £lOO,OOO from the Bank of England, met a crowded and not very sweet-tempered gather ing of the depoSitors and others, in the. Swan Hotel, on Thursday morning, and communicated the result of their mission,.as follows : —The " old ladynf Threadneedle-street" refused, after a partial investigation of the affairs of the bank, to advance any money, except upon the condition, that the bank should be wound up. The deputation refused to accede to this, and. now proposed to the deposi tora this arrangement :—Steps would lye taken to re-open the bank, provided the depositors did not withdraw their lodgments for twelve months; in other words; the de - poslts to remain in the bank fOr six months; and then the' depositors to give an' additional six months' notice of withdrawal, 6I per cent. interest. to be assured to the depositors for the period. After a rambling diseussion of this proposition, which ended in nothiA;_i satisfactory, the. meeting, was adjourned until Tii‘sday , „-xf - ,._ Rather uticonapitacentary remarks Were made by some of thy speakers on the recent management of the bank. Mr. Henry Hill, the former manager, is going through the boo".s. If found satisfactory, the requisite capital will. be forthcoming. On Wednesday evening, the. Mayor of Notting ham issued the subj4ined notice :-- Whereas a public meeting to,:k place in the Market place of this town, yesterday, convened without the autho rity and contrary to the advice of the Mayor and magis trates, and which waa used by.many of the evil disposod inhabitants of Nottingham.and its vicinity as a pretext for riot and disorder, —this h to give notice, that the Mayor and magistrates feel it their duty to prohibit such meetings for the future, and deeply v-mpathise with the industrious and well-disposed of their fellow citizens who, in consequence of the present depressed state of trade, are at this time deprived of the means of subsistence by honest labour—they call upon them, , and the public at large, to .refrain from bush . assemblages, as being only calculatedstill luFthey to ,injure the.trade of the toWn, arid by exciting distrust and alarm, to frustrate arty -endea vours .to mitigate the distress which all so much deplore. The mayor and magistrates are happy to learn thatarrange ments are in progress in the various, parechial unions -in the neighbourhood for a, suspension of the 'provielons'of the- law- which prevent out door relief to able-bodied persons and their families ; they.feel assured that they . will meet_ with the assistance of their fellow . townjmen in their determination at once firmly to suppress all tur= bulent, and riotous proeeedir_, , i on the part of that reettlegs and nut inking porti-n (I :the population who arf3.excitei into excesMs, only _is to coven the designs of those' whose ocapaticn s crime and not labour. , :1 L. REV'S NN,' Mayor. THE DISTURBANCES• AT NOT ruGnim. Again and again must I return to the ease of the two British subjects-who are in prison at Salerno, Until the people of Eogland eompel our /arsswlat:re government to takeit up in a manner worthy the dignity of our country, A little time since there were hopes that forcible measures would have been adopted to compel what, both in courtesy and law: ought to have been conceded. But the people here say that England, like a certain animal, had only put on the lion's skin, and had attempted to roar like the lion: The voice, however, was detected, and all here are deriding it. The facts' are as follow :—Not a very' long time since, Lord Clarendon sent a telegraphic despatch to the British ActingaCensul, ,directing that he should demand. an immediate interview with the EngliSh subjects now in prison: The despatc:h was sent in French, mid it was further directed. that,the answer of this government should be-telegraphed back: as' soon as received. All Naples knew it, as . it watts intended that 'it should, and- the idea was that wauld be frightened into submission ; but has not my Lord Clarerrlon been already stitfi ciently snubbed by, the Ring ofNiiples?lias he not ,yet discovered the: his simuiated roar is understood andlaughed et ; here'? Well, the answer was re turned, and ;vas telegraphed backao,l.Aord Claren•: on, I .have reason to believe—and that answer was a refusal, grounded upon an article which had nothing at all to do with the question, for, as I informed you in my last letter, there is not an article in• the Codice Napoletano which touches upon the subject, Such having been the ricliculons and the futile demons:ration of his lordsliir, the case stands thus: the prisoners are still in .confinement, and the utmost_ vigilance is exercised to prevent theslightest conamunicationvith them. Somewhere towards the end of last month an Eaglish engineer went to the British Vice-Consul at Vietri,.near Salerno, and begged his; assistance in procuring him an interview with the' prisoners, He was answered, that it being Sunday it would be inipossible, but on the next day he would make the: 'attempt. Accordingly on the - Monday they both - went to Salerno: and the Vicee-Consul saw the PraicuratorGeneral, who at one refused ,permission, but ahowed a Written communication to .ate' made, "Do you „want' anything?' was asked. , Yes, , send us money" Ten piastres .were sent ; in, and an acknowledgement of it came back. Since then,no other communication has taken place, though on last Monday anOther . visq.', was arranged. Way- ;this should have been I cannot explain, but it is understood.that they had been cautioned not to go, and I am informed that during their preceding Visit their likenesses and a full description of them had been taken. -- Every precaution is taken, therefore, to isolate our countrymen as much as pOeSible from the;world, and the - effect we'have already seen, in the impaired health and sanity of one of them at least, Assuming that they were guilty. such treat rent would be unpardonable, because illegal, but 03 the strongest evidence exists in plaid of their innoce.':ce. I speak now from information derived from several of • the eleven of the crew of the r, 4g liari, who were recently arrested. Howl got it I shall not bay: but I will guarantee its correctness. They declared that these engineers wereas innocent of the charge.. brought' against them at the child unborn—that when the insurgenta rese on board they watched over them with loaded •pfsfols and threatened to blow out their brains in ease . the machinery got out of order; arid yet these men are in the fifth month of their imprisonrnsnt-7—they have been shut up from all intercourse' with friends, countrymen, or their consul ; they have been manaCied—h ar this, ye British people !—and yet in spite of this, and a hundred other discourtesies, our government tamely submits after a ridiculous attempt at a roar. ; I cannot describe to you how much the feelings of the English, of . all . alas3e, are interested and excited by these facts. Great as is the indignation whi.:ll is felt towards the Neapolitan government, it is greater still, if possible, against the British government, which has utterly , drstroyed the prestige of our great name in Southern Italy, and w hich makes every Englishman sensible of his posiion in this country. , . Oa Thursday morning, M.-. W. F. Willett, dawn, resolved to turn the occasion into au advertisement, and published an announcetnant that, at-ten o'clock', he would give away '1,5001b of bread to poor women, frc,m - the deers of the Theatre.. A large crowd assembled, and became very exui;i&d. is was feared anniheroutbreitk would take place, and the shutters of the lacehonses in the vicinity, were-put up. The pollee, however, marched to th:3 spot, and, with W. Fclkin, Esq. m,igistrate, "at thAr head, 31eared- the street. At the Borough.

So far, the unemployed have subsisted on charity, or the systematic pawning' of their available effects. A's these rr!-;nurces- tail—as fail -in procees- of time they inevi slily eaust—appliea-, tion will then be made for yarochialllid, and it. is very probable that for seine time the Board of Guardians will have sufficient work cut out for - them: The post of collector of rates has for some time been a sinecure, so far as the actual receipt of su h contributions from meny of the working classes is concerned. In families it is notunusual to point the applicant for rates to a bates of ebil ' crying for bread. Recruiting for the militia has been: going on dUring the' week,. and we believe the aspirants for military honours' have beep more numerous than c.nild be attended to. .T.LIE STATE OF TRADE AT PRESTON.-1 corres pondent writes :—Since my last communication the e mbarrassments of the trade in cottenhave become more apparbrit in this town and :neighbourhood. Two other millowners have reduced the labours of their operatives to short time, and- it is likely that the remaining three or four firmsin the town who ere at present working full' time, will also in a few days adopt snort time.. At at early hour in the afternoon crowds 'of operativda are to - be seen patrolling the streets, and the large number _of unemployed is daily beeonaing" greater, and; es a natural consequence, therefs an increased demand upon the parochial authorities by able-bodied persons, male and female. During the past Week 'it also appears that there has been an increase of 53 inmates in the various workhouses in the littlish, which now contain 1,090. Besides these there die nearly 4,500 paupers in receipt of out-doorrelief. On Tuesday it was stated in the London :Lines, that the 'Peeston Guardians had applied to the' General Board in London for a temporary relaxation of tho order as to giving of relief to able bOjied persons, owing to the B -yard- being unable to find employ ment for all the applican;s. To that coma:tunic:a lion a reply has been receive-I, and the Poor Law Commissioners state that they see no necessity for such relaxation, but that they would consider any eases referred to them in which the guardians may have found it necessary to'depan: from the order. They also direct - the guardians to the; necessity'of providing increased workhouse accommodation to meet the emergency by the erection of,' new workhouse, which has hitherto been successfully, opposed by the Preaosn guardians, and was :at their meeting on Tuesday the sulject of discussion. But the Board o Guardians resolved upon a b e tter expedient than the course suggested by the Commissioners, and propose to employ all able-bodied male applicants for relief in the erec tion of a wall to surround the souse of Recovery; and in the making and repairing of high. roads. The women they think of employing in tha Preston Workhouse in knitting and sewing. To alleviate the'distress of all worthy partially employed persons, the Soup Distribution Committee will, on Monday next, open their soup kitchens and dis pense as much as possible. The committee have a considerable fund in hand for this purpose, and have for several yaa:s distributed soup to the needy, but this year their labour will be considerably in creased, and their benevolence will, unfortunately, be muela extended. In previous years many fami lies have almost, if not entirely, existed upon the bounty of soup kitchens ; and new, with the assist ance of the board of guardians (who expressed themselves disposed to grant out-door relief in all cases which they ooniiier proper objects), and the committee for the distribution of soup, the poor care-worn operative may be able to drag himself and family through the present extreme crisis until the revival of trade. It is rumoured.thst means are being taken for the establishment of afternoon and evening free lectures to 'the unemployed during their present diffi:ulties, bul I have not been able to ascertain the veracity of the report One item of news of some importance has occurred, as show ing the probability of an early return of , the mills working full time---viz” on Monday, Messie. Hor rocks, Miller, and Ca., commenced working 40 hours 'per week. This is — the most extensive firm in the town, and employs upwards of 3000 operatives. - • __.__--.- AWFUL EXPLOSION AT MIYENCE.

More than 103 persons are killed The shock extended to Weisbaden. MAYENCE, Thursday Night.—The explanation of the scene of explosion, yesterday, has resulted in the estimate of the damage at a million of florins.

TURIN, Nov 17. I am confirmed .n the opinion I yesterday was disposed to entertain, that the Liberal ',arty is not well pleased with the result of ,he elec ions, as far as known, and that the right, the clerical or retro grade party, has improved its position, although not to an important extent. You have already been informed of the chief cause's of this check to ile Ministerialists, namely, their own confidence, and the unwearying exertions of their opponents. After being unreasonably buoyant and sanguine, they are now unnecessailly depressed—unneces sarily, because the harm done is neither serious nor irreparable. It is good, however, that they should be a little alarmed, if only to restore unity of action, the want of which has been a principal cause, in various places, of the success of their OVENIBER 21, 1857. course, suffering more or less 'distress from this circurni!ance: In order to relie - ve .some of. those persons, it is gratifying,to be able to record that the lady of Colonel John 11.

A few days ego, she called upon one cf the agents in Newtownards to inquire how she could obtain a quantity of 'unwrought muslin, with a view to -employing a number of the idle hands in Kirkeub bin—an act of benevolence in which we trust she may end many imitators.

Yet Inw fory can really claim this enviedspp'eiatioo.

As Pope says— " True knowledge comes by sti7dy, not by chance, As those move easiest who have learned to dares." To be usod to a horse, to put on a habit, vault in a saddle, and gall .p 'along a public road, are the eqnsstr an hmeots of many who donut unfrequently imagine that, to become, aril be esteemed good imrsawomen, it is necessary alone to assume the mescaline in manner and expression. But, to sit a horse equally well thraogh all his paces -firmly, yet gently, to control his -impati:nt curvettings ; fearlessly, yet elegantly, to m mage him at speed, with a hand fi In, yet light ; steadily, yet gracefully, to keep the seat ; preserving the balance with ease and seaming carelessness to have the animal entirely at com mand, and, as if tnth were imbued with one common ce, the rider vieinz in tern;cr with her steed in spirit i to unite courage wi h gentleness, and to employ energy at - no east of delicacy—these are the es7eratial attributes of the lady like and accomplished horsewoman. A series of charming French engravings, "Lrss Atnazones,'' some time since published, has shown how well adapted is equestrian exercise to the display of the beautiful and graceful outlines of the female form ; let, if elegance can be thus so well portrayed, so, also, in no case is clumsiness or awkwardness so thoroughly visible or open to comment. The horsewoman is like a statue placed upon a high pedestal; where the faults are as easily discernable as the beauties.—Mrs J. Stirling Clarke's Habit and the Horse.
