The patronage and support hitherto accorded to the NORTHERN DAILY Miss, has rendered it necessary for the Proprietors to enter into arrangements for its speedy Permanent Enlarge ment to Double its present size. Until this is effected, Double Numbers will be issued whenever a preisure of news, or an influx of advertisments, shall render it necessary. In making this an nouncement, the Proprietors, grateful for the flat tering encouragement they have already received, avail themselves of the opportunity to state that they will spare neither pains nor expense to render the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES the most accurate and earliest authority upon all matters of news— Political, General, Monetary, Commercial, and Maritime. The new arrangements, when com pleted, will impose upon the Proprietors the necessity of ceasing to supply extra Slips to Subscribers, but no increase will be made in the rate of subscription, which is now 38s. per annum. NORTHERN DAILY TIMES OFFICE, 1 9, South John Street. TUESDAY, 00TOBER 21, 1856, THE DAYS NEWS r Our columns to-day contain the particulars o f a most melancholy accident in London, on Sunday afternoon last. The Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, th e champion and defender of Baptists in the Metro polis, had a nnounce d that h e wou ld preach in the Music Hall of the Surrey Zoological that afternoon, and th e Gardena on consequence was that the building was crammed to suffocation on the occasion. Shortly after Mr. Spurgeon had com menced his sermon, a cry of fire was ra i se d . S uc h a scene as then ensued it would be out of tha question accurately to describe. In an instant the screams of the women rent the building, thousands made a rush to the doors, and in their anxiety to get out, many women and children, not even excepting men, were forced down and trampled upon. The persons on the platform in vain trie d all they could to induce the congregation to under stand that no danger was to be apprehended, pro vided the parties kept their places ; but such was the excitement consequent upon the sudden alarm thus raised that men, women, and children were e t i e g r h ri t b le lives c o h n a fusion, e n a nl lost andbem being f t o ra rc m e p d le d d m u vn pon in , great number seriously, if not fatally , injured. of lastnjured. Alluding to this melancholy affair, the Globe evening severely rebukes Mr. Spurgeon for his c onduct on the occasion, concluding with thefol lowing remarks:—" It is very likely that Mr. Spurgeon was actuated by the desire to carry his mission among those who would most want it ; but although the eccentricity of his address proved sufficient to gather an enormous crowd, lie h. , ' sufficient influence to preserve di. - ' p a n p n e e r f a o among , :jut that, his followers. It b tu u r t n t e h d C , o a n s tr l o e l ad ; a er n , he could draw ;' incompetent to l ea d and a dhethweaesaltaomtailtlyy was concurrent On the rash ambition of a man who , did not know his place. He has been freely cen sured for the bad tast e o f th e comments with which he attempted 'to improve the occasion; but a man cannot shake off his habits at once ; and the motive with which he continued his preaching to counteract the outward rush, was praiseworthy. It is only to be regretted that the attraction was so inadequate to correct the distraction ; and in the fainting state which one of Mr. Spurgeon's friends describes, we have a confession at once of his lamentable incapacity to keep order in the host which he had presumptously collected, and of his natural wretchedness at witnessing the mischief. We do not even put a harsh construction on such a remark as This event will, I trust, teach us the necessity of having a building of our own ;' his manifest object was to say something, from the best of motives ; and it was natural that he should say whatever lay uppermost in his mind. If the aspiration did smell of the shop, it enunciated a second rule; if Mr. Spurgeon will but limit himself to the buildings that his immediate followers can construct and pay for, he will at all events avoid the responsibility of these calamitous exhibitions. We cannot lay to his charge the astounding act of one of the deacons, who, after the calamity had happened which quite unmanned the leader, came forward and said, that although no sermon had been preached, still the large ex pense of the hall must be paid, and he hoped, on leaving, the congregation would not omit to aid by their contributions in defraying the charge.' Shocking as the occasion was for this reference to the money business, it irresistibly reminds us of Peter Pindar's Jewess, whose son had fallen out of the gallery and been killed, and who demands back her shilling because ' Moses has not seen the play;' only the positions are reversed; it is the stage manager with the playhouse on fire, calling out 'No money to be returned.' It would be im possible for the bitterest enemy of Mr. Spurgeon to utter a more terrible sarcasm on the spirit of the exhibition. It is likely that, under all the circumstances, there has been a loss by the specu lation ; but it would demand an excuse of charity that undoes itself to regret that the primary authors of the calamity have undergone some penalty, some fine for the blood." • The intelligence from the Continent is rather interesting. An answer to the "Note" has been received by the French Government from that of Naples, but it is feared not of a favourable charac ter. The Emperor, it appears, does not consider the communication sufficiently explicit to warrant a final decision, and a message was transmitted by telegraph to Baron Drener, asking for further information. Should the King of Naples not succumb, then the English and French Ministers will be recalled, and diplomatic relations sus pended. The squadrons will cruise between Sicily and Malta, but, as already stated, at a distance from Naples so as to afford no encouragement and offer no provocation to the disaffected. If the French and English residents express a desire to quit the Neapolitan territory, vessels for that purpose will be at their disposal, and if they are menaced in their personal safety or their property, they will be at hand to protect. Otherwise every- _.,. not thing that could excite or tempt to disturbance will be carefully avoided. What the King will do when the Ambassadors have retired it is hard to )say. Some believe that he will make a few conces sions of his own accord, as what he objects to is the intervention of the allies ; others suppose that he will do nothing of the sort, but, as he has con. tinued hardened and unyielding thus far, he will preserve his consistency and remain unchanged and impenitent to the last. The Moniteur of yesterday published an article on the affairs of Naples. The latter part of the article in the Moniteur is thus rendered : —" The ill reception accorded to legitimate observations, an insulting doubt thrown over the purity of our intentions, offensive language opposed to salutary counsels, and finally an obstinate refusal, the longer continuance of This suspension of official intercourse in no sense constitutes any inter ♦ention in internal affairs, and still less any act of hostility. Neverthe less the security of the subjects of the two governments being possibly compromised, the latter, to provide against such a contingency, have combined their squadrons ; but they did not send their ships into the Neapolitan waters, in order not to give room for erroneous interpretations. This simple measure of eventful protection, which has no character of menace, cannot, moreover, be considered as any support or encouragement offered to those who seek to shake the throne of the King of the Two Sicilies." It would appear that if the King returns to better sentiments, the two Powers will renew the same relations with him as formerly. Our French advices inform us that the Emperor, Empress, and the Imperial Prince left St. Cloud on Sunday afternoon, for Compiegne, passing through Paris to the Northern Railway station, where they arrived about three o'clock. Great preparations had been made at the station for their reception. The Imperial party was, according to all accounts, looking extremely well. Madame Admiral Bruat attended the infaut, for whom an elegant cradle had been suspended in a compartment of their could not allow amicable relations Majesties' state carriage. The Moniteur states that the Emperor's stay at Compiegne will be a fortnight, which is a somewhat shorter time than rumour had assigned as the period of the visit. Tho official journal does not, however, say that the court will go to Fontainebleau on leaving Com_ piegne, as it is understood it will do. The Journal Francais de Francfort, having pub lished a semi-official argument in favour of the Austrian occupation of the Principalities, relying upon the fact that Turkey is a consenting party to it, the Pays replies with some bitterness by a refe- rence to the text of Art 27 of the treaty of Paris, and remarks that since Turkey herself has no right to occupy the Principalities without the consent of Europe, it is evident that she cannot delegate the power to do so to the Austrian army. It further observes, the pretext that the occupation is neces sary to prevent anarchy is equally inadmissible, because that plea would furnish an excuse for that very private interference in the internal affairs of the Principalities, which the treaty of Paris formally prohibits, armed intervention being a case reserved for the exclusive decision of all the powers parties to the treaty. M. de Hubner the Austrian Ambassador has arrived in Paris. In Austrian official circles it is asserted that the Emperor Napoleon, or rather his Minister for Foreign Affairs, is playing into the hands of Russia in the matter of the Danubian Principalities, and it is hinted that her Majesty's Cabinet is perfectly „Jam tile news is unimportant. It is said that the Duke of Rivas will positively be ap pointed ambassador in Paris, instead of Marshal Serrano, who was only two or three days ago received with extraordinary marks of attention at St. Cloud. The King's three aides-de-camp, General Fetor, Brigadier Bareaizteguy, and Colonel Verdugo, have offered their resignations, but they have not as yet been accepted. Rumour says, that M. Bayarella, the Minister of Finance, is firmly resolved to re-establish the peurtas and consumo duties, without which he thinks it impossible to make out a budget really in equili brium. It is 'asserted that at the forthcoming elections for Deputies the present qualification for electors and the division of districts will be adhered to. The re-imposition of tke octroi duties is spoken of as a certainty, and about to take place immediately, although with certain modifi cations. The Epoca mentions General Pezuela as the probable successor of General Concha in Cuba, and General Blazer is spoken of for Puerto Rico. Advices from Constantinople confirm the rumour of a victory having been obtained by the Circassians, near Lab°. The Russians having advanced, for the purpose of carrying out the treaty, Sefer opposed them with 30,000 men, and, after an action that lasted three hours, succeeded in taking 16 guns and 800 prisoners, composed for the most part of recruits. Another affair had taken place near the Kouhan, in which the Russians lost five guns. With regard to the Persian question c ve fi n d that the English h ave undertaken ail expedition of 16,000 men into the Persian Gulf, in consequence which is consid ere d to be of the capture of H era t , a violation of the treaty of 1853. It is stated in letters from Bagdad of the 21st September, that Mr. Murry was preparing to set out for Bombay. Ferouk-Khan, who was sick at Trebizond, is about to solicit the mediation of France. We have full paaticulars of an earthquake at Malta, on Sunday, the 12th inst., at eleven minutes to two o'clock a.m. — There were two shocks, but the interval between them was so brief as to be almost incalculable—which lasted two minutes. In the city of Valetta scarcely a building has escaped injury. From all we can learn, the convulsion was most severely felt along the north front of the island, the forts on that coast having been much shaken. while those on the south seaboard expe. rienced the shocks in a much slighter degree, and are, we are informed, not the least damaged. At Floriana and in each of the three cities, as well as in the harbours, the shocks were felt with oonciderable vigour, and at Senglea, Cospicua, and Victoriosa, many of the buildings are injured. Persons on board ships in the port describe the effect of the earthquake, as felt by them, as of letting go the ship's boats from the davits by the run, only much stronger. The sea receded two feet and a-half. The night had been without a breath of air, with a sultry sensation, the sea perfectly calm, and the moon shining in a clear sky with a brightness that seemed to transform night into day, it being within 21 hours' of full moon. At Citta Vecchia, in the interior of the island, the shocks must have made themselves felt severely, all the churches, monasteries, nunneries, and hospitals, (the Church of St. Augustine ex cepted), having sustained greater or less damage. The dome of the Cathedral is rent, so as to admit the light, and the belfry is much shaken. The expenses necessary to repair the injuries done to the Cathedral alone are estimated at several thousands of pounds. A small room in Citta Vecchia, built of stone without mortar, fell in altogether. From all parts of the country we hear of buildings having been more or less damaged, among others tho new church at Musta, which is still unfinished, and the new church at Sliema, a s also the church at Nasciarro. At Casal Siggreni the belfry and a part of the roof of a small church called Tal Gahlia fell in; the dome of the pa n) . chial church was also seriously affected. Happily we have heard of no loss of life, The only damage stated to be sustained in Gozo, besides a number of buildings being slightly injured, is the falling in of a portion of one of the telegraph towers. In Malta, as we believe is the case in other Roman Catholic countries, it is usual to ring the bells of the churches on occasions of imminent danger, and on the Sunday, soon after the shocks had ceased, a burst of tintinabulary sounds was everywhere to be heard. THE Cireassians still live, We are indebted for this piece of knowledge to the slaughter of many hundreds of the Russian invaders of their loved homes, and the CZAR'S loss of manypieces of cannon. If the enemy of the Asiatic heroes had not been once more defeated, and put to flight, the civilised world would never, probably, have heard the bloody life those noble people have to lead to preserve their independence. We should know nothing of their glorious Alma's, terrible Inkermann's, and Redan victories. The 80,000.0001. of funded debt, and the 11,000,0001. of taxation the Eastern war has left after it, and which latter, when capitalised, will add fully 300,000,000 1 . to our National Debt, was not enough to rescue the chivalrous Cireassians from the ravages of their mortal foes. The incalculable sum spent by France, and the dangers it has brought upon the Empire, were of no avail. All the losses, hopes, and gains of the Russo- Turkish struggle could not secure peace to the East ; and we would say to those gallant Allied armies, who have tasted the horrors of Eastern warfare, who know the Russian army, and can give to the devotion of warriors its true value— " 0 heroes ! of these heroes, take a view." deserted and left to fight, and feed bayonets which we did not think worthy of Turkish blood. The peace of the world was to have been restored by the Treaty of Paris ; at least, so said diplomacy. The East was to be allowed to repose, and the inroads of Russia upon the independent nations of Asia were no longer to be tolerated. When France and Great Britain ceased to bleed, Eastern Europe and the peoples inhabiting the Asiatic shores of the Black Sea were to heal up their wounds and enjoy the blessings of tranquility. Humanity demanded this much, and diplomatists promised all civilisation could ask. Nor were the obliga. tions of Christianity wholly forgotten by the Congress of wise men. There were to be no more wars, rapine , and murder on the waters of th e Danube, or on the shores of the Euxine. France was scrupulous about her honour, and England over THE not much surprise us to learn tbi recently been made bv *- From g--' -iustria to Fngland i JR- ...- - well aware diat such is the case. Now it has long been notorious : ghat tho views of the French Government do not exactly coincide with those of Austria in respect id the reorganisation of Moldavia and Wallachia, but !!; does not folloW tia a matter of course that Count Walewski is playing the game of Russia, because he inclines to the union of the two Danubian Principalities, and agreer'S with Prince +ortschakoff in thinking that Austria ought to withdraw her troops from them without delay. The Austrian Government evi dently looks with suspicion on the relations between Russia and Prance, and therefore It worsi,' advances had E SDAY. her proverbial love of justice and mercy The life's blood of all nations was to be safe in the keeping of two such mighty PoVers. They had the bone and sinew to defend the weak, the brave, and the free; and who could doubt the sincerity of their pledges, and singleness of their intentions ? No one ever thought of such a thing ; and if a few months had not torn away the flimsy veil of diplo deception, and given the lie to current hi.' European ciOdtil4 would have rp- - turbed. But as it is, wa the Russian undis Ainci the encroachments of k./ZAE have not been checked, the ~..yer of humanity has not been granted, and that civilisation is still openly outraged by Muscovite hordes. The Russians must conquer, nay annihilate, the Circassians before they can penetrate into Asia with safety. And we have left them to exterminate a nation of heroes that they may one day give us more pain and put us to further cost in the East. They have already cut off our trade with over two millions of Circassians—not by the use of large fleets in the Black Sea—but by taking possession of the whole of the Circassian coast with their armies. They allow us no right of way to a people with whom they are "at war." Whe t is Itassia at war with Circassia for? Will some enlightened diplomatist be good enough to answer this very simple question ? What is the cause of this incessant shedding of blood? Has the Czar ALEXANDER made up his imperial mind to murder its people, and take the sovereignty of a lifeless country into his own hands ? There is something frightful —truly impish—in such a surmise. A Christian world can scarcely believe such things possible, much less stand by as witnesses of such barbarity. We have been led to believe that the destruction of life was to be laid aside for th salvation of souls, and that universal pep -- good-will was to compensate many' ..se and „Ind for the fiendlike scenes from,' which 1V estern Europe so r heard or thought Bus ..ned, and plunder, were to be ~mending countries the moment after had withdrawn their forces from the France would never have covered herself with such shame,'and Great Britain would not have clothed her name with like disgrace. We would gladly believe, then, that the entire story is a foreign telegraphic rumour, or a mere Stock Exchange squib directed against Russian Bonds. We can scarcely persuade ourselves that the renewal of bloodshed is all;we are to get for the 400,000,0001., which, when our war taxation is capitalised, and all is told, will be the price we shall have paid for peace. It would have been cowardly to have paid so vast a sum for our own safety, leaving other and weaker States to resist the common enemy of nations. We had nothing to fear from Russia in a single-handed contest. Our worst foes were routine in the field, and red-tape in Whitehall. When these were overthrown, the Muscovites had to fly. The Redan was the work of Russian folly and our own official incapacity ; and when one was cleared away the other fell—it had lost its foundation, and a handful of British muscle was found equal to a huge mound of Crimean granite. And, after all this, it cannot be possible that we withdrew our armies and fleets from the East without demanding some guarantee for the gallant Circassians. If we have done so, a heavy burden of guilt rests somewhere. We may talk as glibly as we please —we may boast of our unimpeachable adherence to truth, justice, and humanity, but it will all be scattered to the winds. Falsehood, want of consideration, political honesty, diplomatic foresight, or whatever else we think fit to call it, leaves the curse of perfidy behind them, and we shall reap our harvest of regret, if not of sorrow, sooner or later. Nations and individuals share alike in the distribution of rewards, and as the Western Powers have sown, so will they assuredly reap. The Circassians may, meanwhile, baffle their brutal enemies, and ultimately find that they have out-lived a policy which must be execrated by posterity, as a foul blot left on the country they are to inherit. nobly retired. No one eve sian ambition, blood- renewed in unr' the AUir THE whispers which reach us from Ministerial circles are very amusing. Lord JOHN RUSSELL 41 to be resuscitated under the Premiership of Lord PANMURE, and the Judgeships of the realm are to be conferred on the party hacks who can bring the greatest amount of Parliamentary influence to bear in favour of the less Conservative Whigs. Lord PALMERSTON, according to the rumours of some whispering busybody, is too much smitten with finally" for this progressive age, and he must make way for Lord JOHN and his noble patron. From these statements we aro led to believe that we are to hear no more of, Whigs out, Tories in. The family-compact men have pre vailed over all political parties, and they have only to effect a change now and then among themselves to satisfy the public, who think that changes ought to take place at certain times. It is not intended, evidently, to keep the whole of the compact members in the Cabinet at once. A few of their leaders will always be in office—at the head of affairs—but the bulk of our future Ministrys will be made up of outsiders, care being taken to provide for the most troublesome first. This system would answer admirably, if its con eoctors could be certain that a large number of members of the House would not become as troublesome as Mr. MILNER GIBSON, for example. Taking the Manchester Radical into the Government, would contribute to the popularity of the Panmure Administration with all who look at such things politically; but it will not satisfy the commercial classes, or those who wish to see the material prosperity of the country advanced. Mr. MILNER GIBSON'S admission into the Govern. ment would be no guarantee to the community that our Free Trade policy would be carried out a stage or two further—that while a revenue of 16 ,000,000/. a year is derived from property and income, that a proportionate reduction in the fiscal burdens affecting industry, and the supply of all the great staples of consumption will be attempted. Man chester Free Traders have forgotten their watch word, forsaken their reasoning, and stand mute before the statistics which make them appear more like commercial operators, than true prophets or single minded and patriotic politicians. If Mr. MILNER GinsoN is to be raised to place and emolument as one of the Manchester school of singular memory, and as an acknowledgment of past services, all well and good. But if he is to take office to give a Cabinet a colouring of Free trade, the absurdity will be seen through at once. The first financial statement brought before Parliament by the Government, with which he may be ever so remotely connected, will show us how far he is in favour of reductions in our tariff to compensate the public for the direct taxation calls made upon them Mr. MILNER GIBSON cannot, surely, be in favour of our present high tariff, and income and property tax too. He must know that the poor man's loaf is dearer now than it was when he first became a Free Trade agitator, and when we used to bear that 58s per quarter for wheat was a remunerative' price for the farmer. He must be well aware that the present prise of bread is more than the country can bear, and Unless the other heavy articleS of daily consumption are reduced by it repent duties, the consquences must be v,- able in a social point of - • sakes all his eeo- preferment. kn,-- ,ry lament view. If he for .urnie principles for State then, indeed, the country will what to think ; but if he accepts the honours of office as a Free Trader, and remains satisfied with the present range of prices for food, and excessive amount of taxation superadded to the cost of both living and production, taxes which cannot be added to wages, or the products of industry, he will betray the axioms and the promises of his party, and we shall soon find his colleagues exclaiming, in the words of an eccentric poet— Certe scia ab aquilone, Multum mali, parvum boni. But what does all this wrestling in the Minis: terial straw mean ? Are our words coming true ? Has it been discovered that Lord PALMERSTON is not the man for a peace crisis ? Is Mr. LOWE too troublesome a being for the Board of Trade ? Has the Vice-President brought upon the PALMERSTON Administration the hostility of the corporate towns of England ? Is he coming home from the United States to republicanise Whitehall? Does Lord PALMERSTON dread . , the consequences of a pro tracted bullion panic, and the thoughts of asking the Stock Exchange for another loan, to square up the current financial year ?

Mr. GIBSON'S elevation to a chair at the Board of Trade would be very far from dispelling the fears of those localities, whose lawful revenues have been attacked, and the Corporation and people of Liverpool would not fail to appreciate the proposed change. Instead of treating Mr. LowE, and his knowledge of the domestic habits of the kangaroo, with contempt, they would look with redoubled vigilance after Mr. MILNER GIBSON and the local revenue centraliser of Manchester. We should not suffer ourselves to be played off with a Free Trader in disguise, and a Town's Dues Abolitionist in masquerade. We know Mr. MILNER GIBSON too well to be deceived, and if he should be raised to a high government office, we understand what we should have to expect. The letters of our correspondent, Mr. JOHN Wu Ls, have called a crowd of angry disputants into our columns. The " British American Bul " lionist" has taken up the most unpopular side. He speaks like one who had never seen, much less lived, in a British Colony. Usury—extravagant and positively heinous as it is—has never fallen heavily on his stock in trade or forest homestead. From six to twenty per cent. discount for accom modation in a young country scrambling into existence, appears to him to be a species of torture for which there is no remedy. He does not think Empire consists in an equality of rights, a uniformity of laws, and a unity of design. He is one of those Conservatives who are ever clipping off from the Crown some of its highest prerogatives, Creating money, and regulating its quantity and quality is not, with him, the primary province of a State. The banker is, in his mind, the citizen who ought to be left to decide the power of the people to pay the taxes levied by a Paternal Government. When a CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER asks for fifty or a hun. dred millions of revenue, he would leave Paths_ ment to sanction the demand without once con sidering the question of supply ; nor is it to be wondered at. Lopsided, left-handed finance has become habitual to the British American Colonies. of EnglEngland,, availabu t l ..,$v an absorption of B,ool,sol England _posits lying in the Ban k 1 . of th e " means of trade ?"

Those who sneer at the NORTHERN T 11",,, and its Currency Reform advocates will, do us the justice to say that,when we have aP°6BO, the fallacy of the Bullionist's theory, we h ave d in t v be pe r riably illustrated our assertions by exhibi tinb ; practical results of our monetary efie rat f„ l : o , Whenever restrictions have paralised our ma rk d depreciated the prices of all canine an o dities, thrown labour cut of employment, we ba" Pr do tested against them, and we shall continue to so despite all that " Know Nothing" scoffers inueftio say to the contrary.

Our North American possessions claim for hemselves the rank and dignities of an independent nation. They bestow allegiance upon us as a favour. And yet, strange to say, they have not supplied themselves with a national currency. They have made no more provision for industry, trade, or commerce, than the natives of the Cannibal Islands. British gold, and American notes, taken at all imaginable barter rates of premium and discount, supply our American Colonies with their " available means." After we take leave of the circle of nominalities which binds them to the Mother Country, they ceased to be an integral por. tion of the British Empire, and they exhibit no trace of independence or one of the elements of a self-sustaining nationality. We have made no provision for their money wants as a part and parcel of the Imperial family, and they have made none for themselves. They have a few colonial banks and bankers who supply them with any amount of money they please, and at any rate of discount they may think proper to ask. The old Colonists are, consequently, impoverished. and the newly-arrived settlers,who carry into the country a la. 1 00 5" so hi , ' few pounds in gold'or dollars, are the mainstay of VALUE or LAND IN CHESHIRE.—Lord Vernon , t o _„. the British American Provinces.
