T HE GENTLEMEN'S SHIRT WAREHOUSE, 24 and 26, ,23 OLD-STREET P. L. MACTAGGART, SHIRT MERCHANT MANTIFACTURER. T HE GREAT ITALIAN WIZARD, SIGNOR ALFRED BOSCO, THIS EVENING, And every Evening, at the QUEEN'S HALL, BOLD STREET E 4 firm THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1856 Course THOSE who reflect seriously on the actual con dition of what may be called " the despotic, worn- THE " out, and non-product portions of the Continent "of Europe," must have' observed that all the tumults we have witnessed, within the last forty years, as well as the diffieultif we have now to apprehend, originated in industrial prostration, and deep rooted social disorders of every known character. To the man who is ignorant of the depth, width, and breadth of the ocean, the mighty heavings of its waters appear supernatural ; and the quasi Statesmen, who have only watched the course of the political straws which have appeared on the surface of European life, entertain very similar notions. A brief reference to the history of modern revolutions will, however, satisfy the most sceptical, that every occurrence of disorder and bloodshed, which have taken place, were immediately preceded by some social anamoly, or accumulation of industrial distress. Great Britain herself was falling rapidly into disorder, threatening a convulsion, when she adopted Free Trade ; and the political repose, contentment, and prosperity we are now enjoying, are the fruits of that wise and timely change, which has given so great an petus to our trade, commerce, and productive industry. Some few men amongst us discovered the real source of Continental misfortunes ; and, despite the fears of the aristocracy, the bewailing of the hierarchy, or the sort of heptarchy in which timid and hesitant factions and alarmists had formedthemselves, they swept away the incubus which retarded the nation's progress, and threat ened the dissolution of the British Empire. The wide-spread distress of 1847—taking Great Britain for its centre—led to the 1848 of France, Italy, Hungary, Prussia, and Germany. Travel back a few years into the history of Spain, Por tugal, Belgium, and Poland, and some social canker will be found to have produced all the strife and changes which have taken place. Politically, those countries may be better circumstanced, but have they been morally relieved and socially elevated ? Does their material condition exhibit any appear ance or earnest of improvement, beyond that which naturally attends an increase in the numbers of the human race ? Has that spirit of enlightened legislation, and universal appreciation of the sound economic principles of government — which have saved and raised this country, against all its physical drawbacks, to the highest pinacle of worldly greatness—been tried, or even thought of, by the rulers of the Continent ? We may spare the reader the pain of a candid response. Crimination will not relieve us from the consequences which follow the blindness or neglect of those entrusted with the destinies of nations. It is enough for us to know that the great Continental family of states are miserably poor, swamped in debt, and relying wholly on bor rowing more money on their shattered, rotten, and prostrate social remains, to sustain an agonising political, and material existence. Humanity sug_, gests that we should minister to the wants of the impoverished. But the aggregate of Great Britain's moveable wealth would be unavailing where the recipients refuse to follow the example of their trusty friends and willing deliverers. It is useless for us to prosper by Free Trade in the modified form in which we enjoy it, and give the proceeds of our unshackled industry to others, so long as they show no sign of awakening reason, and repudiate the soundness of those principles of political economy of which they wish us to give them a practical illustration in the shape of loans of many millions. We have doubled the weight of our own national debt by yielding to similar overtures, and lending our money to others on empty diplomatic aphorisms. Hundreds of millions of money have been lent to foreign countries and lost, and thousands of British subjects reduced to penury by the mystic allurements held out to them. But shall we always continue in such a reckless Experience, with its woes, forbid it. What, then, is to save Europe from another con- I vulsion, dating from its deplorable social condition, and neglect of industrial prosperity ? Are the rulers of the Continent ready to let go the sluice gates of production, by laying aside their pro hibitive and life-destroying tariffs ? England presents to-day a fair and encouraging sample of what relaxations, affecting the material organisa tion of a State, may lead to. And, as it would be invidious to suppose that Pontifical and despotic governments could not raise sufficient revenues from other sources than those which lead to scenes which morality and religion must always condemn, we would simply ask why Italy and the Conti nental countries, which are on the verge of internal troubles, do not give Free Trade a trial? There can be nothing extravagantly dangerous in trying to ameliorate the condition of the great masses of any people. Nibbling at socialism, playing at charity, in dulging in the antics of mistaken benevolence, and devoting the lives of a few to works of com miseration, which are always inviting to generous and conscientious mortals, will not relieve and raise a whole nation to the rank and happiness of a civilised people. It takes the labour of five men to sustain one in a state of civilisation. Hence the demand for artificial means of production. Shut out one of the five, and the subjects of a State are left in want of some necessary—shut out two, and they will begin to feel their nakedness — forbid the third to supply their wants, and they become reckless—cut off the fourth, and they famish, and without the fifth they die in wretched ness, with the earth's abundance in its crude state within their grasp. Reduce the estimated num- ber whose labour is required to render life what it is in this or any other civilised community, and you only widen the circle of misery produced by prohibiting the free commercial intercourse of nations. As the numbers of our race increase, an enlarged and more active interchange of products become all the more necessary, and opposing politics to physical law, and human ethics to Divine wisdom, must ever prove abortive. All that virtuous devotion, self-denial, purity, and generosity of spirit, which do so much to alleviate irldividual suffering from misfortunes, barely resemble so many drops from the clouds, when a nation is filled with tribulation, and know not where to find food and raiment, nor where to lay their heads in peace. The prolonged prostration of Europe's industry, will assuredly produce such a crisis, and when it comes, there will be many ready to attribute its origin to clap-traps, which are beneath notice, in the consideration of the disturb ing causes, which are agitating the Continent at But to those who have money to lend we would say ;—" Keep it at home," and to those who would interfere politically, and have no armed assistance to give :—" Do not intermeddle " where you cannot legislate for the good of all." this moment OUR readers will be glad to find that the course we suggested some days since, with regard to raising subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers by the inundations in France, has been adopted by the LORD MAYOR and Corporation of London. This will probably be followed by a similar move ment in Liverpool, That this Borough did not Wianter.

NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. take the lead in a work of such a non-political and Christian character, is much to be regretted. The name of our port is popular nearly all over the world ; and we should lose no opportunity of rendering it still more so, as a set off against that organised oppOsition shown towards the Mersey close at home. We have immense strides to make yet before the whole of our vast outlay, to facilitate trade and commerce, is rendered remunerative. But apart from these selfish views, we owe much to the French. And the lukewarmness which is so manifest in dry political circles, in calling on England to discharge the common-place obligations of friendships, is, to our mind, the strongest reason that can be assigned for our doing so, and at the moment it is most wanted. If we are to render wise unions lasting, and wicked and bootless wars impossible, we must cultivate the higher feelings and virtues of brotherhood. Time or space' can no longer be said to separate us from other countries, and the difference of language, government, and customs, must not be suf f ered to estrange us We are all subject to the same visitation as that which has befallen France, and how encouraging it would be for us to know that we had a noble and generous people to reciprocate an act of humanity in the hour of need. The amount of damage done up to Friday must prove to France a national calamity. Our Paris correspondent states :—" The valley of the Loire has been " ravaged to an extent of 100 kilometres. The " crops are lost, many houses have been destroyed " by the waters, a numerous population is without " resources, without habitation, and without " instruments of cultivation ! And, remember, " this does not include the damage done at Lyons, " or in the southern departments, nor in the coun try comprised between Tours and Rouen. In the " latter, it is stated authoratively, that the waters " formed a sheet not less than 100 French leagues "across." This is no ordinary affliction, and must tell heavily on the future of our Ally, irrespective of the individual want and suffering it will cause. Its Providence may be seen in its taking from intrigue the power of precipitating events still more disastrous to Europe. It may be the pre cursor of a reign of caution and moderation. The vain-glorious will read in it a lesson, and the strong-headed will find it replete with admonition. Taking this view of the desolation it has produced, it may prove one of the greatest blessings which could have befallen France; but we must not neglect our duty, if only as a neighbour, on such hypothesis. France cannot help herself beyond a certain extent in such a crisis, any more than another country. The in jury done to houses, land, cattle, crops, and other effects, over such a large surface as that which the waters covered, must amount to some millions of francs. The number of lives lost must also be very considerable, and when the numbers of widows and orphans the floods have left behind are all told, we fear there will be more to excite the sympathy of surrounding nations than we have any idea of at present. The intelligence which has reached us already is sufficient to justify this inference, and since England is evidently expected to do her duty, we still hope to see Liverpool among the first to respond to the call on behalf of France. That we have not moved in the matter before this is a grave reproach. A Committee consisting of a few respectable and earnest townsmen will be enough to carry out the good work. Those who are never to be moved by trifles would not be required to devote their valuable time to it. They would, as a matter of course, contribute to a relief fund for France with that liberality they have shown in less urgent cases. If the Corporation should take the matter up at the Council meeting to-day, the public will, no doubt, contribute freely to any plan they may suggest. A Commission has been established in France, to receive and distribute the funds raised. This will greatly facilitate the object which the British public have in view. The money collected in Liverpool and elsewhere, cannot be misapplied, and by a prompt and united effort of all classes, a fund may be raised, in small and large sums which will do credit to this good old Borough., We must not wait for London to show us how such things ought to be done. We are quite Metro politan enough, to do what common humanity demands at our hands, and it is to be hoped, that our liberality will be commensurate with our means in this instance. The Londoners will act with their usual munificence, and if " the greatest " emporium of trade in the world," does its duty, France will have as much reason to be proud of Great Britain's generosity, as a friend, as we have had to boast of the devotion and valour of the French, as Allies in war. THE AMERICAN DIYFICULTIES.—We are enabled to state, on the best authority, that one, at least, of the diffi• aulties, which beset oar government and that of the United States, is about to be satisfactorily solved. We learn, with much pleasure, that the two Cabinets have agreed to refer the settlement of the Central American question to a commission, and thus all the disquietnde which that topic has occasioned will, it is to be hoped, be speedily removed. It would be gratifying, had we the same authority to assure our readers that the remaining point, the alleged complicity of the British Minister at Washington, in the infraction of the constitutional laws of the States, by the enlistment of American citizens for the military service of the British crown, was so near a pacific adjustment. On this subject we quote the opinion which has been privately expressed by one of the most eminent statesmen of the present age. This gentleman conveys his sentiments, and those of a large and influential body of our represe dtatives in Parliament, in this language ; " We are L ere strangely put about by the contradictory and uncertain accounts from America. One day Crampton is sent off—the next not. One day there is to be a quarrel— another, it is to be made up. If Crampton is sent away, or if in any way the quarrel in continued, thin, in my opinion, is the time for all those to act who do not wish to be responsible for each a contest, on such grounds. Our case in the recruiting is wretched. We have not a leg to stand upon. The United States Government may or may not be playing a dirty part, but that does not affect our position, and that we have done wrong is as plain as that we were bound to do right." TAE NEW SERTEANTS.—Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Parry' who had been promoted to the dignity of Serjeants-at-Law, yesterday morning appeared in the Court of Common Pleas in fall dres3, and went through the forms usual on such occasions. The Judges had on their scarlet robe 3, and wore their bl.ack caps during the ceremony, and Mr. Serjeant Manning, the Queen's ancient serjeant, was in Court, and performed the part which devolved upon him. LAZY LEGISLATORS.—No less than five abortive attempts were made on Tuesday night to " count out" the House of Commons. Yet Tuesday is now the one day in the week reserved for private members ; and last night Sir Erskine Peril's resolutions respecting the Law of Property as it affects married women, and Mr. Chambers's motion for a select committee on the Law of Artistic Copyright, stood on the list of motions. Such questions may possess little interest for the packs of party whippersin, who chafe at being detained from their congenial places of nocturnal resort; but the country takes a deep interest in them, and will not tolerate a practice which goes far to preclude their discussion. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING There has been no change in the tone of the Liverpool Cotton Market, but there has been rather more business done.to-day, the sales reach ing 7,000 bales, and including 1,500 taken for speculation and export. Prices remain without change. The Liverpool Share Market opened inactively this morning, but gradually improved, and closed very firm at the following quotations :- Aber deen, 13 131. Chester and Birkenhead, 158 158. Caledonian, 301 301. Chester and Holyhead, 161., 161. Eastern Counties ; 108 101. East Lanca shire,' 191 19k. Great Northern, 231 24. Ditto A, 93- 98.

Great Western of Canada, 25 13-16 251. Ditto New Shares, 21 3p. Great Luxembourg, 8,1- Bg-d. The following is a statement of traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada, by Passenger and Goods Trains, for the week ending 23rd May, 1856, and for the corresponding period last year:-23rd May, 1856, 10,4961. 18s. 4d. 25th May, 1855, 7,9611. Bs. 4d. Increase, 2,5351 10s. Aggregate Gross Receipts from the commence ment of the current half-year to date, equal to 194,8571. ls. 4d. sterling. Ditto, for the coresponding period last year, equal to 137,2091. 13s. 7d. sterling. The Continental accounts, received this morning, state that the Vienna Bourse, on the 9th instant, was inanimate, and the speculators were operating very cautiously. The exchange on London had slightly declined. The Berlin Bourse, at the latest date ruled dill!. Accounts from Madrid to the 6th inst., state that the government had sold 22,737 lots of government lands, representing a sum of 137,860,671 reals, and that they realised 400,850,039 reals. Thus the Treasury benefit by the sale to the amount of 262,889,368 reals. The Madrid Gazette publishes a decree ordering the issue of shares of the royal roads of 2,000 reals each, to the amount of 34,000,000 reals, bearing interest at 6 per cent. Accounts from the French Spirit Market con tinue to report firmness in prices. At Marseilles the merchants refuse to give the increased prices demanded by the producers, consequently the stores on hand are increasing. The 3s. 6d. marked brandies are in request at 140 f. to 1551. per hec tolitre, according to quality. Beetroot Spirit from the North commands 1251., and Tafias for the colonies 6f. to Of. Wines for the colonies are in demand at 95f to 1001., and for India 125 c. to 130 c. At Bordeaux, the Wine market is in an unsettled state until the effects of the recent inundations is known. A notice has been issued by the Directors of the Great Luxembourg Railway Company, that they have this day made a call of 25 francs, or 1/ per share on the constituted shares of the company, 350 francs, or 141. sterling, having already been paid. Discount at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum will be allowed on all payments made before the 14th July in anticipation of the call, and interest at the same rate will be charged on all sums in arrear after that period. Also, that the constituted shares of W. will be ready for delivery in exchange for the provisional certificates of the shares authorised to be re-issued by virtue of the resolutions passed at the last special general meeting. The Societe Generale des Clippers Francais is making arrangements for the employment of its fleet, and notice has been given that the Lady Jocelyn will soon be despatched to Rio de Janeiro from Havre. She will call at Southampton, and it is expected that a regular communication will be speedily established between France and the Brazils. Lord Clarendon's statement that Mr. Crampton has not yet received his dismissal has removed a check upon the Stock Market. The immediate result is a rise of three shillings and eightpence per cent. in the funds, w , hich was firmly maintained to the close of business. The final quotations were 94 5-16 to 94 7.16. The increasing abundance of money gives a strong basis to the market. In all quarters to-day the supply of capital seeking employment was very large, and it would appear that even at the reduced charges now established, the Bank can be obtaining little discount business, good bills being readily nego tiable out of doors below 5 per cent. In this fact, and in the rapid accumulation of the banks' unem ployed resources, there is ground for the belief that a further reduction in the rates is not far distant. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent Rentes recovered about per cent. The gold brought by the Mermaid, was to-day pur chased by the Bank. The new board of the Royal Swedish Railway Company, an nounees that, in the event of the new prefer ence shares not being taken up to an extent sufficient to liquidate the debts of the company, and to finish the 45 miles of railway to Orebro, they intend to return the whole of the subscribers deposits, and to resign to the shareholders in pub lic meeting, the charge with which they have been entrusted. The Railway Share Market to-day was very steady, and attained a general improvement. Thefollowing were the closing quotations of Railway Shares :—Caledonian, 617-, 61,1. Eastern Counties, 10 1-16 10 3-16. East Lancashire, 78 78k. Great Northern, 95-1, 96k. Ditto A, 78 79. Great Western, 611 62. Lancashire and Yorkshire, 93 93k. London and North Western, 102* 1021.

LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT, YESTERDAY—(Before Mr. Commissioner Perry) —ln re Colpitts Harrison.—The bankrupt, a wine merchant, of Liverpool, passed his ad journed last examination this day, and the Bth of July was fixed for the certificate meeting. LONDON GAZETTE.—Our readers are directed to the advertisement announcing the sale of a rare and extensive series of the London Gazette, offering an opportunity which is not likely to occur again for many years, and which would form an important feature, and record of events, in the library of a nobleman, or public institution. CORONER'S INQUEST.—A child, named Catherine 13riclgel tower, sixteen months old, died in Saltney-street, under the following eircumstarces :—The mother of the child laid a hot smoothing-iron on the floor, and the child sat on it, and was so injured that it died. The jury found a verdict of accidental death, and censured the mother for not being more cautious. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE.—The Lord Bishop of Manchester, on Tuesday, collated the Rev.

THE LATE WRECX ON AiticLow.—At the earnest solicitation of Mary Ann Smith, a poor widow who, with her child, escaped with life at the late wreck on Arklow bank, but who lost, on that occasion, everything she possessed in the world, we have to express the heartfelt gratitude of the poor woman to those philanthr o pi c l a di es and gentlemen resident of this town, who, on her desti tution becoming known, have generousl y and benevole n tly supplied her wants by their pecuniary aid, and enabled her a second time to pay for her passage, and that of her little boy, to America, THE SUMMER Assizas.—The learned judges, Mr. Justice Welles and Mr. Baron Bramwell, appointed to proceed and hold the summer assizes of Oyer and Terminer, a n d genera l gaol delivery for the Northern Circuits, have appointed them as follows :—York county and city at York, July ; Durham, July 22 ; Newcastle, July 28 ; Carlisle, August 1 ; Appleby, August 5 ; Lancaster, August 6 , ; and Liverpool, August 9.

TURKEY, Despatches arrived at .Marseilles on the 10th inst. from Constantinople, which state that reports were in circulation there on the 2nd inst , to the effect that the Russians had destroyed the defences at Kars, and dismantled the fortress of Ismail. The Sultan had presented to Miss Nightingale a rich and extremely valuable memento of her indefatigable exertions and untiring services in the causes of suffering humanity. It is asserted that French employees would be appointed to organise the customs' service in the Turkish dominions. The European population were anxiously awaiting the return of Aali Pacha, from whom they intend to claim new regulations with respect to the rights of property. Among other on dits are the following Ouveron is to be Minister at Athens, while M. de Bouteneuffe has been appointed the Ambassador at Constantinople from the Russian court. INDIA AND AUSTRALIA. MARSEILLES, WEDNESDAY, The Vectis arrived at this port at half-past five o'clock this morning, with the Indian and Austra Tian mails The letters and papers which she has brought will e desp atched hence at ten o'clock this evening. THE FRENCH FUNDS PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING The transactions on the Bourse to-day closed at the following quotations :—Four and a Half per Cents., 94f.; Three per Cents., 72f. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING Some continental papers have asserted, that the government contemplate withdrawing its troops from Rome very shortly. Your contemporaries, I can state on good authority, are incorrectly in formed. The Roman prefect of police is in Paris at present, and he states, without any sort of dis guise, that if the French troops were to be taken away, there would be a revolution the day after their departure. The Cardinal Legate of the Pope arrived last evening ; but, instead of descending at the Boule vards, he went to the Tuileries by the Rue de Rivoli. He was conveyed on a state carriage, with a military escort, and was accompanied by a large crowd of high state dignitaries; and he had a crucifix borne before him. The solemn distribution of prizes to the suc• cessful exhibitors in the cattle and agricultural show took place to-day with some pomp in the Exhibition Palace. The Minister of Agriculture and Commerce presided. The English, Irish, and Scotch, got a good many prizes. The inundations have, it appears, been very serious in the neighbourhood of Angers, and especially in the extensive slate quarries of Trelaze. Into the latter the water poured like a cataract, and did frightful damage. I am informed that the government has this day learned that the Emperor, on visiting the quarries, was well re ceived by the men; though it is not very long since that a vast number of them were, as You may remember, engaged in a secret political society for the overthrow of the government, and actually broke into open insurrection. .When his Majesty distributed relief to the men, their spokesman, it seems, addessed him in some such terms as these :—" Well, you understand the working man, and are kind to him; so let all between you and us be forgotten, and let us toss it into the inundations of the Loire !" In the sitting of the Legislative Body, yesterday, a bill was brought in for doing away with the pro hibitions inscribed i❑ the customs tariff, and for replacing them by protective duties. This is a new step in that free trade policy which, as I told you (exclusively) months ago, the government had resolved on adopting, though with prudence and temporisation. You may, from all I hear, take it for granted that, in the event of hostilities breaking out between England and the United States, France will give a cordial moral support to England, but that she will not rush into war to aid her, at least at the commencement. On the other hand, Russia will do all she can to back the States, by moral support, but will on no account fire a shot for them. The semi-official Patrie contains the following rather singular paragraph, which, from the form in which it is printed, evidently comes from the government:--" The attitude of England in presence of the pretensions of the United States appears to become firmer. The manufacturing question has been hitherto of a nature to exercise some influence on the govern ment of Great Britain ; but the British govern ment, as we are informed from London, thinks of rendering its policy perfectly independent of its material interests by favouring, by extensive measures, the cultivation of cotton in its Indian possessions. Instructions in this sense are said to have been sent off from London." Prussia and Sardinia have, I hear, been making new efforts to get themselves admitted to the com mission for regulating the questions in the Danu bian Principalities, but, though supported by England and Russia, they have not been suc cessful. The French Government will, very shortly, have to come into the market for a loan—at least, this is the belief in well informed financial cir cles. I informed you, some weeks back, that a loan would be shortly indispensable ; but probably it would not have been demanded quite so soon, if it had not been for the inundations, There has been another decline on the Bourse to day, and it was caused in some degree by the anticipated loarl. P ST—,The Emperor was expected back from Angers this evening, but as he has prolonged his journey to Nantes, he will not return till to•morrow. AUSTRIA CONTENTED.—We learn, with a shiver, that Austria expresses herself contented with the future inten tions of France and England towards Italy. When the vulture is contented, it must fare hard with the lambs.— Punch. A DIPLOMATIC NOTE.—IMMEDIATE.—Mr. John Bull presents his compliments to Mr. Dallas, and begs to say that, although Mr. Crampton may have packed up his things from Washington, that is no reason why Mr. Dallas should be in any hurry to send for /?is Things from the Wash.—PuncA. CLAYTON HALL,-.41% COTTON'S ENT&RTANMENT.—Th e spirited and enterprising proprietors of this beautiful hall, haying afforded the public a real treat in the performances of Miss Stanley, seem resolved not to let the hall lack further novelties. They have, this week, introduced to the public of Liverpool Mr. Charles Cotton, a gentleman whose varied acquirements and exquisite personatiors, in the departments which he undertakes, ranks him amongst the most popular performers of the metropolis. Every one— the merist child—is taught to lisp and revere the tame of Nelson; and one of Mr. Cotton's ‘4 Ni g ht s " with that world-renowned naval hero conveys a good idea of scenes in that life, long since passed away, yet green in historical memory. Mr. Cotton's entertainment is a perfect illustra tion of the life of Nelson. The p rose port i on of tho enter tainmentis beautiful—the songs exqu i s i te. We cannot speak in too high favour of the perfortnanee, and the public seem to duly appreciate it, as the patronage bestowed amply testifies. - , ~.,~~_ -~.-~ THE OVERLAND MAIL.
