THE " NORTHERN TIMES." PHIS 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 are 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 variona partoof its mechanises-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 realm their due weight, authority, and preponder ance,—of that Conservatism which loves the interests of the people at large but will not 6e led away by thenoisy denuncia= Lions 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 Northern Tinges is pow the faithfal and unflinching advocate : and never, perhaps, was Caere a moment when a temperate and judicious application of the Daily Press to the espousal of its cause, and the dissemination of its principles, was capable of serving more beneficial purposes. Hitherto, the Daily Papers Of Liverpool have, one and all, been exclusively its the so.cilled Liberal, that is, 'the Whig and Radical, interest. The Conservative cause has now got its _representative, and its advocate, in the local Daily Prtiii% 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 eonsiderable,— the ,cireulation already secured is large and increasing; it is about three times'inore 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, anchise their active influence to make it a profitable advertising medium, its prosperity, and therefore its influence, will soon be poiverfiilly strengthened and confirmed. _ The late Derby Banquet 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 important interest, cannot fail to be =acknow ledged, and ought therefore to be acted upon.

Ire 3,4ort4trn Mmes TCTESDAY; IVIOTEMB.ER 22, 1859. THE DAY'S • NEWS. The French Emperor would seem to have become somewhat reconciled to the Central Italian Regency of M. de Boncompagni. One of the French Government organs of the press,—or if not such, yet one that would not dare to give an opinion on ihis subject contrary to the wishes of the Government,—now declares, "it is under-- stood that the exercise of the Regency is only for the maintenance' of order in Central Italy ;" significantly adding, that " Italian interests are in harmony with ,European interests in order to reserve for the Congress the definitive regula tions of the situation of the Italian Peninsula." It is evident from ' this, we think, that the Emperor of the French regards the matter with very different feelings from those he lately entertained. The same semi-official declaration remarks, that the Regency is now in a position "to make those arrangements possible which have generally been considered as very difficult of execution." And if this be Louis Napoleon's opinion, of course all is right. The advices by the China mails show how worthless, after all, has been the ratification of the American Treaty by the Chinese ; since, not withstanding the express stipulation of that treaty, the Chinese Government has positively refused to open the ports of-Swatow and Taywan. The state of hostilities in the Chinese -_waters re-. mains in suspense. It would , scarcely seem that the Chinese expect what is preparing for them on so formidable a scale, both here and in France. We suppose that about the spring of next year they will get a surprise. The French war in Morocco is already at an end ; an(the expeditionary army has returned to Algiers. The Spanish expedition to Morocco, notwithstanding the long preparations for it, is not yet, it seems, ready to quit the Spanish ports We learn from St. Petersburg, by telegram, that the navigation of the Baltic has been closed for the season. In Russia winter has set in with considerable severity already. A ship has arrived at Hull with a cargo of bones from Sebastopol ; and the Times his very properly taken up the subject indignantly asking if these are the bones of our gallant soldiers who fell at the me ,:usable stormi ng o f that all but impregnable fortress ; and insisting that some explanation is necessary. " The fact," it observes, " is gravely announced, and we would ask seriously—ls it true ? Are these the bones of the Russian or of the allied soldiers ? Are these the bones of horses and of other animals which perished in the seige ? Are they the bones of men and of animals commingled, and now exported by Russia and imported by English specul a t ors to manure our fiel d s ?" V ery pro perly adding, th a t " th e su bject is one w hi c h must be so painful to many persons whos e relatives and f r i ends were engaged in the late as it might have appeared to common ob servers, every one connected with LiVerpool, who felt so. disposed—and who - did not ? had already joined one or other of the numer ous-.bodies who, unflPr the name of volunteer rifle and artillery brigades have come forward to offer a cheap but invulnerable defence to our- port and town : it still remained for the leading Spirits of one district, howeVer, to follow up, and as it were complete the magic circle of bristling bayonets which form a living rampart of defence around us. Last night a meeting of the leading inhabitants of Wavertree was held ..at the Lamb. Inn, for the purpose of forming a Volunteer Rifle Corps. The chair was. occupied by Mr: S. R. Glaves, who in addition to the numerous other services, which the business of the public abstracts from his private avocations, is yet patriotic enough to devote some of his time and energies in furtherance of this - great national moveinent. He was also, it will be seen, aided by the counter ice of the leading Men of the district—Mr. C. F. Carne, Mr. - H. T. Wilson, Mr. J. Anderton, and other gentlemen joining heartily in support of the cause. The meeting was most enthusiastic ; and, judging from present appearances, there is no doubt that the Wavertree contingent will be at once full and efficient. A PRETTY sure way of bringing on some events is to be continually throwing out anticipations of them, and doing one's utmost beforehand to realise them as present. The hypochondriac who turns out to have predicted the day of his death, is not thereby proved to be a prophet, but only the victim of the morbid tension of an imagina tion which has taken captive the other faculties of the mind, and compelled even nature to do her behests. Something in this way, it might be feared that the feverish apprehensions of war at present floating about us, are likely more than anything else to hurry on the war they teach us to expect. Fortune may feel constrained to do our bidding, and justify the obstinate course of our speculations. Certainly, we should be inclined to say that 1 either a French war is very imminent, or that the " leading journal " wishes it to be so. The idea of it may by familiarity become less revolting even to ourselves ; so that, to adopt the suggestion of a witty, but incautious contemporary, we may soon get more disposed to go across to the Frenchman, than wait his anticipated descent. The Times, indeed, .in reply to the animad versions of his neighbours, affects that the mistrusting tone of his recent articles is the cause of the admonition supposed to have been administered during the last few days by the French Government to incendiary journalists. But, perhaps, the Times will also tell his readers what is the value of re-assurances or protestations from a ruler whom the English people arc taught never to believe ; but, on the contrary-, whom previous experience has proved to most observers of current events to be] in that we may again be content to repose on • that sentimental feeling of safety, 'which unabcoin panied by material sources of strength, he, at the -same time, condemns as the precursor of disaster and possibly of ruin. But again, it is quite feasible to assume the evil and unfriendly designs of the French Emperor, and yet to assign to him, as the best card in his pack, the pretence of amity and alliance, which may gain quiet for their gradual unfoldment and development. To Louis NAPOLEON, the cost is small indeed, of that re-assuranee, which may lull' us into unarmed security, if a promise be all the price that is paid. The morals of statesmen are too often like- the morals of those who traffic in horse-flesh ; and if the 'latter's rule of trade be that "all is fairin horse dealing," we are sure that the .guiding - maxim of at least one European Government is, that all is fair in the management of an, empire. What then is to be effected by _extorted professions of peace and friendship from the Government of France ? The reduction of our armaments ? But every one worthy the name of Englishman despises the suggestion as folly and as crime. To relieve the trading community and the dealers in Consols of a teasing apprehension and a vague fear ? In the first place, as - we have said, this is not possible. It may make the sub ject of them appear, perhaps, more remote ; and after long dwelling in the same direction, divert them temporarily- into another. But this would be brought about naturally, and in the course of things. Unless a state of apprehension, which dis turbs the public operations of capital, is to be the normal condition of the commercial community, up to the moment when warcan be predicted as the pro bable occurrence of the next week, such interme diate panics of alarm should, of themselves, be discouraged ; and can be dissipated in no other satisfactory way than the demonstration- of their own inherent folly and childishness. Any time during the past eight years, it might have been, and has been, predicted of NAPOLEON BoNA PARTE'S nephew, or of the vanquished at Waterloo, that he or they had determined on a trial of strength with this countrY: But we have had many vicissitudes of commercial depres sion and_ commercial prosperity, totally indepen dent of this impression or this probability. Indefinite fears which may or may not be realised, or which may be realised next Year or ten' years hence with equal likelihood ; and which are con cerned with an event that does not depend upon any particular policy, but is to be brought about by the conscious and wilful preparation of one inscrutable mind, ought not to be made the subject of panic, or allowed to affect its pub4c course by . a great and powerful nation ;--except in one particular. And that is, in the provision of those_rneans of defence by -which---her only dignified and only _sufficient confidence can be placed in her own right arm, under the protec-, tion of ,_Providence. IT is to America that we are to look for the prac tical merits of the Ballot,—that great panacea, as the " Advanced Liberals "would persuade us it is, for most of the political evils of the times. It is in the American republic that the Ballot is having a fair trial ; and having it under circum stances_more favourable to its successful operation than could possibly be expected in this country, under monarchical institutions, and in a state of society, political and general, in which there would always be influences predominant to interrupt even the Ballot itself as a secret expe dient. Well,—and the annual elections of the United States, which have just concluded, have furnished further practical evidence of the work ing of the Ballot, as a means of insuring purity and independence, and all those political excel lencies, of which the Radicals insist that we are utterly deprived in this country, simply because we will not adopt that secret mode of voting. " If any one wants to know," says the New York Herald of the Bth inst., " the real value of the glorious privilege of the ballot box, and how inestimable that institution is at the present day in executing the freeman's As lightning does the will of God.' he has only to cast his eye over the list of can didates for the Legislature, published in our columns this morning, and see what are their positions in the community," significantly adding, that, "if this does nQt disenchant them with the reality of their glorious privileges,' we are afraid they must be set down as incorrigibly wedded to old ideas," A„a wiil4, that it ''v44lCf be well if it were quickly r`and quietry'iet—ittit." It 'will be se :Aby a paragraph in another _c9lUmn, that the pretended reform compact, be tween certain Liberalsand the late DerbyMinistin has received. some ,further elucidation since Lord Derby gave so flat_a dpial, at the great Banquet here, to the statement that he had signed a letter, pledging his Administration to a certain measure of reform, in order to obtain from those LiberalsOeir votes. Mr. Disraeli has now been questioned upon it, and he does not hesitate to say that Ministers did give an assurance that, in dealing with the question of reform, they should not consider themselvcs . bound by the bill that had been rejected, but should deem themselves at liberty to propose such an amended measure as • the , sense of the House of Commons appeared to require, and as might be necessarysto satisfy the public- opinion - of -- the country. - ;l3ff this — w is - nothing new, and certainly no` secret. If we are not mistaken; Mr. 'Disraeli made-a similar com munication to the House of Commons, previous •,to the vote on: the no-confidence motion. The navigation of the Indian - rivers has long formed an impOrtant and interesting subject of consideration among the mercantile daises of this country. The known fertility and natural wealth of the vast ,districts which those rivers intersect, have constituted the main features of the arguments on whichthe benefits to be derived _from such navigation have been founded - ; and on_ - these, backed as they have been by somewhat profitable experience, even in face.of the difficulties and discouragement which such an enterprise has demonstrated, it is not wonderful that the project should be a favourite one. " In another part of to-day's paper we publish a letter on the subject of "Navigation of the Indian Rivers," by Captain W. Hall, a gentleman of great experience in such matters. In it it will be seen that the profits to be derived from a well organised system of inland navigation in India are not merely such as to justify the undertaking, but are such indeed as to stimulate the mercantile community to great exer tionsin carrying out. - - He, it will be observed, is .yeryclecided as to tie practicability of . effecting such navigation—he does more, he says the kind of steamers now employed in it are of s safe and suitable construction, but that many more such are needed. He says that those 'now in opera tion yield their owners. fifty, sixty, and seventy per cent. of yearly profit, and points out where numerous others of a similar description could be employed with equal, if not with greater, profit. • The volunteer movement seems =still `to' make head in this as in_other neighbourhoods. Nearly every district and. local community within range of Liverpool is now earnestly engaged in organising volunteer corps to defend, in case of danger, our altars and our hearths. Already, the habit of making promises which, he means to violate, and professions which are only meant as a disguise ? Nay, if Louis NAPOLEON were in the - most marked inaniier — e - vokingifiTitiaaiiiof ;his countrymen, and words' threaten ing England with an - - invasion, perhaps most people . thight take such. frankness as the best security for peace ! .We know that the French Emperor uses events with no other consideration than howthey may be turned to his advantage. In fact most men in his position do precisely the same. Fidelity to previous promises, the truth of words once uttered but' now nothing but idle and wasted breath, never form an element of the inquiry. The word of princes is proverbially untrustworthy, and the .precedents of Louis NAPOLEON'S career have certainly contributed nothing to re-establish its credit. lgark then the inconsistency of the Mlles. He justifies to the world the increasing arma ments of England, by the natural repugnance of a nationito feel'secure only " on sufferance," and to living in dependance upon the word of, any foreign potentate. Yet he is now anxious to elicit from Louis NAPOLEON, re-assurances which are to make us feel secure ; and the word, upon which we may depend! The only logical reason for his appeal to the French Government is, a wish what kind of it " list of candidates for the- Legislature" does the reader nuppose it is, from which, by means of the Balloti they are to make.. . -- an independent selection ? Why, it is of such ~3 character, according to this American oUrna* himself, of course, a republican of the first .water , that it really can matter very little by wha t means the electors make a selection from it. Th e theory 'of a republican government is, that the people shall be in a position to choose, for puhll e office, the men best fitted and most trustworthy" men of- respectable standing in society, and wh a deserve to enjoy the confidence of all gee d citizens. But hOw different is the practice where the Ballot is employed to aid in carrying out the principles of purity and independence! For, 00 the same republican writer we have quoted i 5 constrained to adinit,—" it happens inconsistent -1 i enough,- that sometimes, nay, most frequent l P men are chosen to sit in our legislative chamber* and to make laWs to goVern us, for no other reason than because they have. distinguish ed themselves as loafers, thieves, bullies, should er hitters, emigrant runners, swindlers, barkeePe r* pettifogging lawyers, and in other cognate 1 011/s of life." Such are th e c h arac t ers w h o ,preee° t themselves as candidates under the opertO s of the Ballot ; and there is this in elt . remarkable result of it " very gener 6lll comes to pass, that should there hapPe U to be mingled a few men of a very ferent complexion, —men such as those suppeee's .by the theory of a Republic to be most likelf to secure the choice of the electors—they are el" most sure, under the operation of the Ballot, t ° be set aside, and the others preferred to them e s the more popular men ! And so it is more than probable: it was on this occasion. " For," saY e the American journalist again, "at the election' to-morrow, our citizens will have to make.sele e ' tions from among eighty or a hundred-candidate* of whom .a large proportion come within th e foregoing general definitions." This was in Nov York ; and- it may be taken, we believe, as a fair sample of all the rest. NOVEMBER 22, 18* It is not that one political party is worse thsa another. " The men on both tickets," we are told , " the Republican and Democratic, are as like 0 01 other, as eggs from the same nest." So that really, after all, the Ballot is of very little c ow sequence. The.only hope for it would be that hr as we have already observed, there did bUt happen to be a few respectable candidates, the B3 l ' lot might enable the electors to select thew , But the very contrary, we say, is the fact. Thel vote by Ballot, and, so voting, they generally vote for the very worst candidates that offer themselves for their suffrages ".With such a batch-ta choose from," as we read again, " voters can hardly a° better than--to.use a vulgar but expressive phra se —' to go it blind.' PerhapS some wise politi c ' s ': ',pay in time discover a mode of getting respecta ble candidates put forward ; but till that good tilst i : comes, we must only put as good a face as P °s9 ble on the matter, and gulp down the nausecas doses supplied in equal quantities by 31 ° 31 1 Hall, Tammany Hall, and. the other politico conventicler." • Now the question naturally arises, w hat is the use. of the Ballot in such a state of things as this ? Is it not worse, infinitely worse, th an useless; - because, it enables the electors to vote: for men in secret, whom they mig ht not, improbably -be ashamed to elect in the face of day ? Our' own Opinion, i s , that this is positively the case. Were there no Ball ot, but were every elector called upon publicly t o proclaim for whom he tendered his vote, a 00 11 better class of candidates would be fortheorait* to seek their open and uncorrupted' sera', But men are induced to do in disguise, or uncl e d r the shelter of, the ,Ballat, that which they W al ' l he not have the face to do were it k nown to $ ll t world. View the subje c t, howev,er, in its P r°t-i' - cal bearings as we may , th ere i s nothing whatel-,1. to encourage the idea th a t t h e B a ll ot wou ld be of any advantage to us in this country ; o r rath er thtre is , everything to make - us, as good subj ects - of the State, and virtuous members of socie t y' repudiate and reject it.
