Until this is effected, Double Numbers will be issued whenever a pressure 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.

Yesterday a struggle took place for the lucrative office of Official Manager, when, after the nomination of several parties, Mr. Har dinge, the interim manager, was appointed to the position of official manager, the majority of votes and shareholders being in his favour. The reports of our Police and Bankruptcy Courts yesterday, given in another column, contains some cases of interest, to which the readers attention is directed. To-day we understand that the West Derby 'Board of Guardians are to meet for the special purpose of investigating Mr. Shaw's case. Mr. Farnell, poor law inspector, will attend. It is to be hoped that Mr. Farnell will not fail to make a thorough investigation into all the causes of dispute among the guardians of this union, and thereby put an end to the eternal bickerings which c'.aarac terise the deliberations of the board. It is with deep regret that we learned last night that a fight, attended with a fatal result, had taken place on board the Champion of the Seas on the homeward passage. Two of the passengers, George Hand and Thomas Henderson, had a dispute about a bottle of ale, when a regular fight ensued. They were separated by the second mate, but the contest was renewed, and Henderson being the more powerful of the two, inflicted such injuries upon Hand that he died shortly after. An inquest was held upon the body by a jury of the passengers, and, after an investigation of two days, they found a verdict that Hand died of injuries inflicted upon him by Henderson. He was then brought home in irons, and will be handed over to the civil authorities in the course of to day. The affair created a great sensation on board. Mr. T. H. H. Baylis, of the Unity General Assurance Association, has issued a circular to announce that the directors and himself have been enabled to enter into an arrangement whereby he has resumed his official position as the manager of the institution. In doing this he says :—" The difference of the past could not possibly have arisen on either side, except with a view to serving the interests of the institution There could be no other object, and while I readily admit that the directors acted, as I believe, solely on this princi ple, I think I may claim for myself an equally disinterested feeling. Happily a consciousness of this has enabled us to mutually agree to apply our energies and thoughts in re.organising the resources of the institution, with a view to bringing them to bear favourably on its career." when we shall have the supply we are now paying rates for, and what it will be like when it reaches Liverpool? We all want to know the extent of the Borough property in land and houses, the rental it produces, the condition it is in, and the names of the persons who occupy it. Did Mr. LLOYD desire that this most necessary information should be given ? We stand in need of increased dock accommodation; not at Bootle, but at points on the River nearest to Liverpool. Mr. LLOYD directs us to Lord DERBY'S and Mr. JOHN SHAW LEIGH'S waste lands on a shore inaccessible from the sea fcr many months in the year. Mr. LLOYD is, in fact, one of our Corporate impracticables, and no suck man ought to be returned to what should be in its essence a practical Council, except by some species of trickery. The sensible and moderate Ratepayers of Lime-street Warn would never vote for such candidates if they were not gugeoned into it, and the prodigals on the Ward Committee being aware of this have resorted to their old tactics. They make it appear that the Committee is still composed of Liberals and Tories, as they style themselves, and that the retirement of the Chairman, Mr. J. r. J.I.FFERY, was not the Union can wish to witness such an anomaly. Every patriotic American must view such a proba bility with consternation. BUCHANAN hurried away from Europe to heal a Presidential movement against the Republicans, to lead a party who scout their name, and to direct a council opposed to the principles for which American Republicans contend. Is there not danger in selecting such men to rule over Republican states ? What has the Union to hope from men of such a stamp ? The Con stitution has scarcely been reduced to so complete a nullity that men can support, without a single scruple of conscience, the two extremes of man's political existence. BUCHANAN cannot justify in one breath the extremes of human freedom and degradation, socially and politically, on one and the same soil. He cannot be sincere in his professions of sincerity towards both. No ! He must be a time-serving first cousin to our routine men in England, and the States should beware of such aspirants to the highest offices in the land. They should bear in mind the lea ding incidents in the Crimean war. Hunters after place and emolument are the same thio , ighout the universe• followed by the immediate with drawal of the Liberal members from the Committee. For instance—at their meeting of Tuesday, there were only forty members present, and of this number six only were Liberals, and, out of those, four made a precipitate retreat when they found themselves in such a miserable minority. They left in disgust when they saw the chair occupied by one of that minority. The trick They can accommodate the most glaring contra dictions, show as ina:iy colours as the cameleon , and advocate the most conflicting principles in the same assembly, by merely transposing names. And we do most sincerely hope that the States will never be afflicted with men of this type as Presidents. BUCHANAN is not the man to be entrusted with the destinies of a civilised Republic. He is not of the Republican party even, and all was too palpable. The object was, to make it appear to the electors that the Committee was as united as ever, and that the Liberals were in the ascendant on the Committee, if they were not so in the Ward and in the Council. This was, no doubt, thought to be a grand stroke who desire to see the Union maintained should withhold their votes from a statesman who relies on two political faces for a triumph in a land where there ought to be but one voice and one mind. of electioneering chicanery, and, coupled with the forgery of the circulars to gain admission to the meeting of private electors held on Friday evening, shows what a certain class of corporate corrup• tionists will resort to to carry their point. Of this, however, there cannot be the remotest chance. Mr. LLOYD is not the man to represent tradesmen and over-taxed Ratepayers. He is not a moderate man—he was never known to oppose a job either in or out of the Council—he is a corporate spendthrift in the strictest meaning of the word—he is ono of the corner stones of a party who have no regard for the Ratepayers' pockets—he has no interest in common with the merchant or tradesman, and we might just as well have men totally unconnected with the trade of the town and commerce of the port to represent a Liverpool Ward in the Corpo ration. Consider' Mr. LLOYD'S conduct towards the very Committee who returned him at the last election. He gave them a pledge that he would not vote for Mr. THOMAS BOLD as an Alderman, as the elevation of that gentleman in the Council was meant as a reward for political services. But Mr. LLOYD did vote for Mr. THOMAS BOLD the moment he was placed in a position to do so by the Commit tee. He duped his Constituents, and then laughed at them. And are these the men the Ward would return again to the Council? The public only ask for straightforward and independent men for municipal representatives ; and, as the Ratepayers now have an opportunity of responding to a moderate request, which will be found on every honest elector's lips, we firmly believe they will do their duty towards themselves and their neigh bours. We understand that the Ray. Dr. Aspinall will preach at St. Stephen's Church, Byrom street, on Sunday evening next, on behalf of the current church expenses. THE VACANT CAPTAINCY AT GREENWICH HOSPITAL.— The United Service Gazette states that Sir Charles Wood has conferred this appointment upon Captain William Alexander Willis. '.ICHE GREAT CROSBY GOOSE FEAST.— We understand that this ancient feast commenced yesterday, at Great Crosby. We have been informed that the feast this year will last three days, and that to-morrow will be the " great day," at Mr. Belshaw's Ship Inn, Crosby. Signor Felice Orsini has consented to lecture at Leeds, on Thursday, the 16th, on behalf of the London Committee for supplying the Italian patriots with 100 cannons and 10,000 muskets. He also lectures at Brighton on the 14th. He will proceed from Leeds to Newcastle, Northampton, and other towns to which he has been invited by influential persons. THE WEATHER.—As predicted a few days since, the weather continues gloriously fine, and for this season of the year, unusually warm. Yesterday and Sunday were bright, dry, and exhiliratincr. The general state of the weather is highly favourable for agricultural operations ; and the farmers in the rural districts are availing largely to do their autumn work in good time.

The life and character of Daniel O'Connell" was the title of a paper read by Mr. Thomas Knowles to this society, last Wednesday evening. Mr. E. Williams occupied the chair. A very animated debate took place, after the reading of the paper, as to whether D. O'Connell was a benefactor to his country. The majority were in favour of " Ireland's great statesman." To-morrow (Wednesday) evening, Mr. James H. Franklin will deliver an essay on Perseverance. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—On Sunday evening, about half-past six, Mr. Thomas Bage, builder, of 154, Mount pleasant, was passing along Soho-street, and, when at the corner of Wilton-street, he was seized with sudden illness. He was taken into Mr. Palmer's, at the corner of the street, and medical aid was at once procured. He died in a few moments, and it would appear that death wad the result of a combination of disease of the heart and affection of the brain. THE cause of Negro emancipation progresses gloriously in the United States, and the triumph of the Abolitionists is almost certain. The monied Democrats—save the mark ! of Wall-street—have become alarmed, and have held a meeting, at which twenty or fifty thousand dollars were subscribed to secure a victory for BUCHANAN in the State of Pennsylvania—to induce the Puritan State to recall its religious vows—to abandon its moral precepts, and betray, in the face of God and man, the politi cal principles it is pledged to uphold. The descendants of PENN cannot be capable of such diabolical treason and base treachery towards the cause of justice and humanity. Money will never, we feel convinced, be suffered to so far degrade and disgrace the Quaker State in the eyes of the whole world. They will never vote for an American Czar, or a republican BOM BA. BUCHANAN is a true political type of one, and a very fit and proper representative of the moral excellences of the other. Russian serfage and Negro slavery belong to the same kidney—and Naples ought to be ashamed to mourn over the torture of her children, while the slaveholder in America is suffered to manacle, flog, and sell his human herds, which BUCHANAN and his " Demo " crats" are ready to defend as a Republican institution. BUCHANAN is not, however, the man to rule the United States in this enlightened age. He is a mortal whose patriotism is of little worth when he would risk the dismemberment of WASHINGTON'S mighty Union to gratify his personal ambition. Men may run such hazards when they stand forward on the side of civilisation—when they preach on behalf of humanity —and denounce the savage cupidity and tyranny of man. But they are a disgrace to our race when they raise their voices to justify a career of national debasement and crime, which the ablest chroniclers will fail to hand down to posterity in their true colours. We are only giving expression to what Pennsylvania has longifelt to be the truth ; and since the rich Democrats of Wall•street have no hope of carrying the BUCHANAN ticket in any other State, and rely wholly on a few thousand dollars to silence and convert,Pewasylvania, we think we can guess how the Presidential contest will terminate. All who revere the name of WILLIAM PENN, and desire to conserve the splendid superstructure of unity and freedom, which WASHINGTON bequeathed them, will scout BUCHANAN'S pretensions, and hurl back upon the money-worms of Wall-street their insults and their dollars.

ANOTH ER ACCIDENT AT BRYN MALLY MINE.—On Thursday evening, about eight o'clock, the chief engineer, Robert Kenrick, had descended the pumping shaft a short distance, for the purpose of changing the buckets, and was engaged in that duty, when suddenly the capstan chain broke, and with some other gearing, fell upon him, knocked him off the " burrell" or platform on which he was stand ing, and precipitated him to the bottom of the shaft. His body was got out the same evening, and conveyed to his residence on the works close by, where it now lies waiting the coroner's inquest, IMPORTANT TO HOUSEHOLDERS AND SERVANTS.—Some of the greatest domestic evils, to which housekeepers are subject, is bad servants, and, in many cases, the latter obtain employment by means of false certificates of character. To meet this great evil, the Waiters' Association, to which we have recently alluded, have established a registry, the great feature of which is to supply housekeepers with proper domestics, whose character will be a guarantee for honesty and competence. This will be, no doubt, duly appreciated by the public, whose cry is always for a good and faithful servant. CORONER'S INQUESTS. —Yesterday, the coroner held the following inquests :—On the body of Mary Hollingsworth, 9 years of age, who was killed in Great Howard-street, under the circumstances stated in our paper of yesterday. The jury found a verdict of accidental death ; but, at the same time, made a presentment to the effect that the owner of the shandry, Mrs. Jones, of Wilton.street, ought to pay the expenses of the funeral, &c., as the parents of the child are very poor, and the driver was not altogether free from some slight neglect.—On the body of a young man, named Joseph Barton, a painter, who was killed at Welsley Terrace, in the Park, by a fall from a house. Verdict, accidental death. A meeting is announced in our advertising columns, at which the claims of the Turkish Aid Society will be advocated by Dr. Blackwood, who was one of the ablest assistants of Miss Nightingale, at Scutari, during the late war. His personal experience, both at Scutari and in the Crimea, and his knowledge of the present condition of Turkey, and the prospects of the establishment of complete religious liberty, and the spread of Christianity, will enable him to communicate information of the greatest interest, in respect to the past war and the future of the Turkish empire. This meeting will be held in the Philharmonic Hall instead of the Great George-street Assembly Rooms, as at first intended. IMPORTANT TO POOR'S-RATE PAYERS. —A case of im portance to rate-pavers came on- for decision before the magistrates, at the Public-office ' Clayton-square, on th e 25th ult., the principle involv e d being whether a tenant, having paid the rate in full to which he may be assessed for the current year, shall be compelled, in case of re moval to other premises in the same parish, to pay an additional portion of such rate for the premises into which he may so remove. A rate-payer residing in Everton was summoned by the overseers of that township for payment of 19s 10d, being a proportion of five months' • rates in respect of a dwelling in Spencer-street, into which There must be no vestige of European despotism he had removed from a house in the same street and town s hi p, left in the States, to destroy their Union, blast their and upon which he had paid the full year's rates. The political consistency, and d raw d own upon t h e i r bench, however, refused to countenance so unjust a d emand, and ordered the sum of 8s 6d only to be p a id , b e i ng the people the ridicule of manki n d, and retributive difference in value upon the rental of the two houses.
