OrFICE Fon ADVETZTISEMENTS : 13, SOUTH JOHN-STREET. PRINTIxa OFFICES 40, LEIGH-STREET. LIVELPOOL CONSERVATIVE DAILY PAPER: THE "NORTHERN TIMES." THIS well-established Daily Paper,—the first that was attempted in the Provinces,—is now, under a new - proprietary, devoted to the interests of the great Conservative party. Its principles arc those so forcibly expressed by the Earl of Derby, at the recent Liverpool Banquet, when he said, I speak of that Conservatism which is not obstructive, but which is the best promoter of safe and gradual social improve ment;—of that Conservatism which, strenuously adhering to the old machinery of the Constitution, adapts from time to time the various parts of its mechanism to the real requirements and the. real capacities of the age in which we live,—of that Con servatism which should give to all orders and degrees of men within this realni their due weight, authority, and preponder, anee,—of that Conservatism which iove' the interests of the people at large but will not be led away by the noisy denuncia tions of blustering demagogues, either to shrink at the voice of menace, or timidly to make concessions to large bodies of men for the purpose of obtaining a temporary popularity, when in our hearts we believe the concession of those coveted boons would be.the worst injury we could inflict upon the classes it is sought to benefit." Such is the Conservatism of which the •NorMern Times is now the faithfal and unflinching advocate and never, perhaps, was faere a moment when a temperate and judicions application of the Daily Press to the espousal of :its cause, and the dissemination of its principles, was capable .ef serving more beneficial purposes. Hitherto, the Daily Papers of Liverpool have, one and all, been exclusively in the so-called Liberal, that is, the Whig and Itadical, interest. The Conservative cause has now got its representative, and its advocate, in the local Daily Press. It rests with the Conservative party of Liverpool to decide with what efficiency this their Daily organ of the Press shall be maintained. Its success has so far been considerable, — the circulation already secured is large and increasing; it is about three times more than it was when it came into its pre sent hands,---and if all who are Conservatives will only sup port it with their advertisements, and use their active influence to make it a profitable advertising medium, its prosperity, and therefore its influence, will soon be powerfully strengthened and confirmed. The late Derby Ranquet cannot but have aroused the Con servatives of Liverpool to a more active course of public duty ; and the obligation, in times like the present, -to sustain a Daily Paper in their. inaportnnt interest, dannot fail to be acknow ledged, and ought therefore to be acted upon.

On Friday merning,, there came on at Tours a trial - which excites immense interest throughout France. The few last months ::have been.. unusually fertile :in causes ,c (Mares both in :France and England:; but I doubt whether anything more extraordinary in the juxta position of crime •cf the darkest dye with youth, beauty, social rank, family, and fortune ever occupied the atten tion of a court Of law than the case of MadaMe Lemoyne ! , of Chinon and her daughter, Mlle. Angelina, who this day appeared at the bar of the assize court of the Indre and Loire, on a .eharge .of . infanticide. The undisputed .circumstances of the case are that Mdlle. Angelina, young- lady of 16, of extraordinary. beauty, having 'carried on an intrigue :with _the coach man, became eitthi4ae, and that as soon as the child came into the world it , was burnt to ashes ky the unhappy -girl's mother. The latter alleges that the infant was >still-born, but the -daughter confessed -to the Judge of Instruction that dit was. born alive, that it had long beforehand been4treed befween herself and her mother that it *as to be degroyed, and that while she was in -the pangs of labour her mother prepared a funeral pile of wood, which had been laid in store -for the dreadful rpußose. _ _ _ Aadame Lemke., whose maiden name .was Meujot, •: - nelono.s to an old family in Touraine. Her father was a judge at Chinon; her grandfather sat in the Con- - .volition, and voted for the death of Louis X`' I. Her ! anoestors, the De Champignys ' have worn the judicial ermine . in Touraine tim e out of, mind. She ,herself, when in the bloom cf youth, made what was considered :in. the country, a sitkalliance. She fell in lave with, and , marnied 24. Lemoine, an attorney of Chinon, who had .sed„reely any fortune. The marriage was not a happy Lone, and after a- few years. she obtained .a decree !of ieperation, which left her in custody of her two •children—a son, now a, law student. in Paris, and Mdlle. :Angelina. Her fortune, about £4OO a year, was con siderable for the litt4c...to3va of Chinon, where she habited a himdsome horse, and ranked, as one of the ! grenAldies of the place. dl le . Angelica Leman° was universally admitted to be the prettiest girl indite town—no small reputation, nvhenave consider the proverbial beauty of the ladies of Touraine. The .eoeihman, the third considerable personage in this .drama, Peas by name, is - describe& by all the wit nesses as a man cf extlaorclis.ary ugliness, awkward and ungainly, knorant, and loeing much older than his real age, ,which is only 29. He is unaffected by the slightest.suspicion of any Complicity in the crime. On the contrary, he believed that ;be was going to marry his young mistress until, on his asking her hand from her -mother, he wao turned out of the house. Runieurs,of the condition of Madlle. Angelina spread in the town. The discharged coachman told all his friends of his amours, and said that he must of necessity be married to the young lady in the end. He imparted to many person:s kis idea of the income, he was likely to enjoy, and the scale of the establishment suited to his new rank in life. Madame Lemoine, .who was highly respected in the neighbourhood, resolutely made up her mind to brave out the rumours current against the honour of her daughter. The girl admitted that she had agreed with her mother that the child was to be burned as AO on as born; but, she says, that she made a condition that it .should not be burned while alive; she believes her mother killed it, though she knows not exactly how, before putting it on the wood. On the other hand, Madame Lemoine 'maintains that there was no previous agreement to destroy the child, but that finding it still born she suddenly resolved to put it out of the way, in order to save her daughter's honour. Such, in all its main circumstances, is the outline of this remarkable case. A despatch of this morning says that the court, which was one of the most spacious in France, was crowded with spectators from Blois, Saumer, Angers, &c., and, that a large proportion of ladies were among the audience. Angelina in her examination retracted the confession she made before the Judgeof Instruction, and said that she only agreed with her mother that the child was to be destroyed in case of its being born dead. One of the witnesses, a M. Lieubray, who had drawn the attention of the authorities to the suspicious circumstances of the ease, attempted suicide. On Sunday, the trial terminated. The jury acquitted Angelina Lemoine, but found her mother guilty, with extenuating eircttrastances. The sentence was twenty yeam' hard labour. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. (Before Mr..T. S. MANSFIELD.) MUTINY ON BOARD SHIP,--Taines Harney, James Roxburgh, Edward West, George Eartland, John Barton, George Muller, and Michael Ryan, seamen, were brought -up on the charge of mutiny on board the ship M - orring -ton; 710 tOii4ifrom Singapore, "Thomas Clarke, Mr. Bluck appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Cobb for the defence. Mr. Bluck, in opening the case, said that the captain had no desire to push the charge to extremity, but solely to prove that the men had been guilty of improper and unseamanlike conduct. Captain Clarke was called, who said that the.ship became leaky after rounding the Cape, and was making water at the rate of seven or eight inches an hour, consequence of which it was necessary for some of the • crew to be kept constantly 'at the' pumps. The' prisoners ref Used to work unless he allowed them watch and watch, and when . put on an allowance of water, one of them threatened . to shoot the mate, who had accidentally upset the water-cask. There was a great deal of grumbling, and finally a refusal to work, he put into port. This ha refused to do ; but vias forced to put into Ascension for bread. On the prisoners refusing to work, he .ordered them forward, telling them ~.to consider themselves prisoners, and put them on bread and water. They offered to resume work after the ship • arrived at the island of Ascension, from the fear that he would, as he - had threatened, hand them over to one of the men-of-war lying in port there. The mate of the ship was examined, and. corroborated the evidence of the captain in every point. Mr. _Cobb pleaded, on behalf of the crew, that the men had never been guilty of anything that could be construed into Mutinous conduct. They took their turns at the wheel, and did everthing, in fact, that they were ordered ; and . the complaints proceeded from the fact that they were not allowed-enough of rest in consequence of the extra work entailed by the leak. Mr. Mansfield stated that it was very . evident the voyage had been lengthened by 'the conauct Of the crew, and accordingly sentenced each of `them to twelve weeks' imprisonment, and the forfeiture of eighteen days' wages. THEFT FILO3I AN .EMPLOYER.—Betty Roberts, an) elderly - woman, sometime ago a servant in the employ ment of Mrs. Garner,. Spitalfields, was charged with • stealing a plane, some books,. and several other trifling articles, to the value of about one sovereign. She pleaded guilty • to stealing the plane, but denied any knowledge of the other. articles. - Having-being previ ouslyionvieted of felony she was sent for trial. OBTAINING GOODS UNDER. FALSE PRETENCES.— Williath Dodd was charged with obtaining leather and other'articles used - in the manufacture of ots and shoes from Mr. Killock, Copperas-hill, to the-amount of £6 17s. -on false representations. It appears that the prisoner • had at one time been in the employment of Mr. Yoxon, boot and shoe maker, Newton-street. He had been occasionally sent to Mr. Killock's for leather without the money ; and, after leaving Mr. Yoxon's employ, lie made a practice of going to Mr. Killock's and obtaining articles ostensibly for his late employer, but which he cppropliated to his own use. He . was - committed for trial. SuoPraTzixo.—Margaret :Waters, a young woman, Igas charged with stealing •a mantle from the shop of Mr. Lloyd, Berry-street, on Wednesday last, the 7th instant. Mr. Lloyd and his shopman spoke to the identity of the woman and the mantle; and a pawn broker's assistant deposed that she pledged it about six o'clock on the .- cvemng of the 7th, which was only two hours after it was missed from Mr. Lloyd's shop.—She was committed for trial. TERRIBLE AsSAULT.—Patriek M 4 Kanlv, lodging house keeper, No. 8 Court, Mill-lane, was charged with assaulting James Brown, one of his lodgers. Complainant stated that the prisoner had ordered him out of his house last week; he left yesterday morning, but returned again in the evening, when the prisoner , assaulted him with the poker, inflicting severe wounds on the head; and certainly the appearance. of that: portion of complainant's body.had_ every appearance of being severely battered. The hair on one side was clotted with blood, the ban dages were completely saturated, while his cheek bo:e the traces of blood recently washed off.—The prisoner was remanded till to-day, to admit of several witnesses being brought forward. (Before Messrs. ATKIN and GLADSTONE.) A LOAN SOCIETY aiSE.—William Thomson and John Hodson were summoned on a charge of forgery and Con spiracy by the Adelphi Loan Company. The Circum stances of the case are briefly as follow :—Some time ago a loan of Lö was applied for to tats society in tho name of two parties, and the securities offered were William Thomson and SaMuel Thomson. The applica tion was entertained, and when the promissory note was 'ready-for signature, two persons called at the office of the society, thoSe two persons being the defendants, and William Thomson signed the name of Samuel Thomson and said he was that person, and John Hodson signed the mune of William Thomson, stating that he was that individual. The loan, however, was not7granted, on account of some suspicions having been aroused re garding the genuineness of the signature. Mr. Snow ball, whd appeared for the complainant, contended that the men havinc , told a falsehood in regard to their sig natures laid them open to the charge of forgery, and that it was a matter of no conSeernenee whether they had the authority of the persons-for whom they signed or not.— Mr. Cobb, who condu4ed the defence, submitted that it was perfectly lawful to sign promiSsory notes by procu ration, inasmuch as there .was an act. of Parliament authorising it, and that if he could prove that it was done with-the full consent of the parties, and with no .dishonest motive, the charge of forgery and conspiracy would fall to the ground. He aceordin6-ly called Samuel Thomson, who snore that he authorised William Thom -son to sign his name, mid that he had every intention of paying, the same if the party for whom he was security failed to, do so.—The magistrates decided that there had been great irregularity in the transaction, but there was aio evidence of any intention to defraud the loan society, and cohsequently they would dismiss. the case. DEATH OF WASHINGTON IRVING. The celebrated American author, Washington Irving, died at • his residence. at •Tarrytown--the spot familiarly known to . his reader:3 as" Sunny side"—on 'Monday, the 28th of November last. Having been born in 1783, he was consequently in the seventy-sixth year of his age. For some months previously, his health had been failing, and he had been recommended by his medical. adAisers to take a journey into Florida. He r 6. fused to act Upon the recommendation, and, as already stated, he expired on the evening of the 28th ultimo. In a brief essay on the melancholy event, the Boston Ackert:4er says : It is given to few men at the close of life to look back upon a literary career so long and so distinguished as that of Washington Irving, which has just closed; and certainly none can look back with more genuine 'satisfaction. We do not speak now of the high place which the great author had won, or of the universal admiration which both Europe and America conceded to the charms of his style and the beauty and excellence of his matter. iris fame as an author was, no doubt, a gratification and encouragement in his declining years, but it was not that upon which he must have finally relied for his chief satisfaction in reviewing his industrious life. He no doubt had the honest pride in literary success, which it is a shame to which proved iabpoonurs w w it h h i he m s t no man to feel, but he was very far from placing such success uppermost in his estimation, and we are certain that it was not that which he fin a ll y remember n ed of lrietflereactery l d his l d p s l e lt a sti t have been the effe c t rat h er than the the chief compensation for half a century of active effort. It is just fifty rears since the publication of " Knickerbocker's History of New York," that inimitable work which secured for its author the notice of Scott, and prepared the way for a warm friendship. There are not many men who con tinue for so long a period in active authorship, and the number is still smaller of those who can point to labours of such extent, untarnished by any spot, dimmed by no long-regretted personal jealousies, so steadily directed to promote healthy enjoymentand right feeling, so constantly directed by a kindly spirit and pure principle. We have already referred to the friendship be tween Irving and Scott. One of the pleasantest pictures which we have of Scott's life at Abbots ford and of his genial hospitality is that which Ir ving gave in his delightful essay on Abbotsford and 1 Newstead. In reading his charming dose, iption - -t of his visit at Abbotsford -(where he was intro duced by Campbell), it is impossible not to see that the warm cordiality with which he was re ceived was due as much to the claims and per sonal qualities of the guest,--familiarly known from his works,—as to the open generosity of the noble host, and Lockhart is glad to record the delight with which Scott heard his visitor announced. The kindly nature which shone through all of Irving's Works and thus brought him into sympathy with such a character as Scott, displayed itself through his whole life. It imparted a &atm to the hospitalities of his own dwelling . upon the Hudson, it . gained him the affection of an admiring public, it saved him from the petty jealousies which sometimes . mar an author's career, and gave to his name its brightest and most endearing- attractions. _ . The following memoir of the deceased is taken from " Men of the Time :" - , " Washington Irving, one of the - most graceful :4- . writers that America has h it herto produced, was born in New York, April 3, 1783. His father, -a. respectable merchant, originally from Scotland, . died. while Washington was yet young, and his education was superintended by his elder brothers, three of whoth had,-without relinquishing active pi.ofessiorial pursuits, gained considerable reputa , tion for literary, abilities. As his health did not permit_ any close application to business or study he rambled about the picturesque island, of Man hattan, gathering up those traditions and receiving those impressions which Mr. Seth Handiside's eru dite and conscientious lodger has made immortal. Mr. Irving's first essays in literature were made in the New York 211Orning Chronicle, in which he published his 'Letters of Jonathan Oldstylc, Gent.' These letters were concluded in 1802 ; and as - symptoms of pulmonary disease now betrayed theniselves, it was resolved that in the following _year he should visit the south of Europe,. He accordingly sailed, for Bordeaux, and travelled through-the-south of France-to Nice, where he took . a felucca to Genoa, in which city he re mained same two months. He then went by sea to Sicily, made the tour of the island, crossed from. Palermo to Naples, passed through Italy, meeting Allston at Rome, who strongly recommended him to devote himself to art; thence over the St.Gothard, through Switzerland to Paris, where he remained several months. He next went _to . Holland, whence he embarked for England ; and passing there a - part of the autumn, he returned to New York in March, 1806, completely restored to ' health. He again resumed the study of. the-law, ' and was admitted to the bar in November of that - year, but never practised. Shortly afterwards he took the chief part in ' Salmagundi," the first number of which appeared in January, 1507, and • the-. last in January, 1808. .In December the following year, he. published. his Knickerbocker's History- of New York.' • In 1810, two of - his brothers whO were engaged in commercial busineSs, one being at the head of the establishment in America, and the other in Liverpool, gave him an interest in the concern, with the understanding that he was not to enter into the diitieS and details of the bnsiness, but pursue his literary avocations. During the war with Great Britain, in 1813-14, he edited the naleetie -Magazine, and in the fall of the latter year joined the military staff of the governor of the state of New York as aide-de-camp and mili tary secretary, with the title of- colonel. At the close of the war (May, .1815), he .embarked for • Liverpool, with the intention of making a second tour of Europe, but was prevented by the, sudden and great reverses which followed the return of • peace, overwhelming, after a struggle of two or three years, in which Mr. Irving took an active part to avert the catastrophe, the house in which his brothers had given hit-Li an interest, and involving himself in its ruin. VAS - he determined to employ his. pen ..as. means of support, and commenced the series of papers entitled Sfreteli Book,' which were trans mitted piecemeal from London, where he resided, to New • York for publication. Three or four numbers were thus produced, when, finding that they attracted notice in England, he fir.sa them published in a volume, Feb. 1820, by Mr. John Miller. On his failure shortly afterwards, the work was transferred to Mr. Murray, with second volume, published in July of that year. Mr. Murray had 'bought the copyright.for £2OO, but its success far. surpassing his expectations, he . sent Mr.. Irving,.of his own accord, fir _llOO, and the sale still increasing, an additional £lOO. After a residence of five years in - England, Mr. Irving removed to Paris in August 1820, and remained there until July of the following year, when he re turned to England and published his Bracebridke Hall,' in London and New York, in . May, 1822. _ The__ following - winter he passed-in - Dresden ;. returned to Paris in 1823 ; and crossed to London in May, 1824, to publish his Tales of a Travel ler,' which appeared in August of that year in two volumes, and in four partS in New York. In. August he returned to Paris; and in the..auttuun . of 1825 visited the south of France, -passing part of the winter' in Bordeaux. In February, 1826, he left-that city- for Madrid, where—he-remained two years. There he wrote the Life of Colum bus;' which appeared in 1828. In the spring of 1828 he left Madrid on a tour to the: south of Spain, visiting Granada and the main points men tioned in the ' Chronicles of the Conquest. of . Granada, by Frit Agapida,' of which he had made a rough sketch. This he prepared for the press at Seville, and transmitted to London and Now York for publication ;it appeared in 1829. In ::the - spring of this year he again visited Gran a a a , and. resided some three months in the Alhambra, where he .collected materials for the _work published under that name in 1832. In July he came to England, 'having been appointed secretary of legation to the American embassy, which Office 6 r g t r h e e e ti o n f iN L •mis! n ty . he held until the return of Mr. M'Lane in 1831,. when, after remaining a few months as charge, he resigned, on the arrival of Mr. Van Buren. While in England, in 1830, Mr. Irving received . one of the fifty-guinea gold medals, provided by George IV. for eminence in historical composition, the other having been awarded to Mr. Hallam the . in t g he ye d a o h f is o to xf ri o a r n d ; a co n i d ife in rr t e h d e o tll h o i l- In the spring of 1832 he returned to New York, after an absence of 18 years. His appearance was greeted on all hands with the warmest enthusiasm; a public dinner was given to him, at which Chan cellor Kent presided ; and simil ar testimonials were offered in other cities, which he declined. In the summer of that year he accompanied Mr. EllSworth, One of the commissioners for removing the . Indian tribes west of the Mississippi, and whom he had met on a tour to the West, on his .expedition. The most interesting portion of this journey has appeared in the 'Tour on the Prairies,' 183 published in : ' This was followed in the s ame 0 year by 'Abbotsford and Newstead Abbey,' and H Legends of the Conquest of Spain.' In 1836 he published Astoria,' and in the following year The. Adventures of Captain Bonneville.' .1830 he entered into an engagement which lasted two years, with the proprietors of the Knickerbocker Mogazine, to furnish articles for that periodical. In February, 1842, he received, unsolicited, the appointment of minister to Spain. He left fcr Madrid on the 10th of April of that year. Rio official duties terminating in the summer - of 1846 he retarned. to America, and in 1848 commence d . the publication of a revised edition of his works, Most of which had long been out of print. In 1849 he published Oliver Goldsmith : a Biogra phy ;" Mahomet and his Successors,' 1840.7j0 ; and 'Life of Washington,' 1855, Mr. Irving is essentially the man of his works, genial, warm :hearted, and benevolent; so much so , that all who see him would be apt to forget the author in the man. He has a . country seat, Sunnyside,' on the banks of the Hudson, twenty-five miles from the city of New York, which is now his home."
