Fourth Edition. Liverpool: WEBB and HUNT, Castle-street. London Longman and Co. - d3l LIVERPOOL CONSERVATIVE DAILY PAPER, THE "NORTHERN TIMES." THIS well-established Daily Paper,—the first that was attempted in the Provinces,—is now, under a new proprietary, devoted to the interests of the great Conservative party. Its principles 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 various parts of its mechanism to the real requirements and the real capacities of the age in which we live,—of that Con servatism which should give to all orders and degrees of men within this realm their due weight, authority, and preponder ance,—of that Conservatism which loves the interests of the people at large but will not be led away by the noisy denuncia tions of blustering demagogues, either to shrink at the voice of menace, or timidly to make concessions to large bodies of men for the purpose of obtaining a temporary popularity, when in our hearts we believe the concession of those coveted boons "would be the worst injury we could inflict upon the classes it is sought to benefit." Such is the Conservatism of which the Northern Times is now the faithful and unflinching advocate and never, perhaps, was there 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 in the so-called Liberal, that is, the Whig and Radical, interest. The Conservative cause has now got its representative, and its advocate, in the local Daily Press. It rests with the Conservative, party of Liverpool to decide with what efficiency this their Daily organ of the Press shall be maintained. Its success -has so far been considerable, — the circulation already secured is large and increasing ; it is about three times more than it was when it came into its pre sent hands,---and if all who are Conservatives will only sup port it with their advertisements, and use their active influence to make it a profitable advertising medium, its prosperity, and therefore its influence, will soon be powerfully strengthened and confirmed. The late Derby 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.

Published at 26, King-street, Whitehaven, by Robert Foster, every Tuesday, price 31d. ;or Stamped, 40.1 Cre 6s. ; or Stamped, 16s. ; or LI per Annum. Y EE CUMBERLAND PACQUET is a full-sized paper of eight pages, containing forty-eight columns' of c osely—printed matter, and its circulation extends throughout 'the counties of Cumberland, Westmoreland, Lancashire, and Yorkshire, as well as very generally' over other .parts of the kingdom. As an Advertismg medium, this journal cannot be surpassed, being read by the leading gentry, clergy, agricul tural, shipping, and commercial classes of the district in which it is circulated. The number and influence of its sub scribers renders it a most eligible medium for advertisements of estate and other property;. and the commercial_community cannot avail themselves of any provincial journal better calcu lated to introduce. their announcements to the'class of news paper readers whose attention to such advertisements is sought to be obtained. THE MORNING CHRONICLE having, at the close of last year, passed into the hands of a new Proprietary, is now conducted under an entirely new management. During nearly a Centtuy THE MORNING CHRONICLE has been the steadfast advocate of Liberal principles and enlightened views ; always ready to support the Statesman whose measures were calculated to promote the general inter ests—never the tool of Party. Faithful to its old creed, considering judicious amelioration tobe the best Conservatism, THE MORNING CHRONICLE earnestly supports our venerable Constitution in its essential principles—principles none the less irnyortaritin their practical efficacy because brought into harmonious concurrence with th genius and tendencies of the age. Every department of this Journal has been remodelled. Its Political Information is derived from unquestionable sources ; and whilst it keeps its readers conversant with all important occurrences, political and social, both at horneand abroad—the lighter, but not unimportant, claims of Literature and Art are equally represented in its columns. The constant aim of the present Conductors of THE MORN ' ING CHRONICLE is to make it an organ of influence amongst Statesmen and public men of all. denominations ; and whilst presenting a faithful reflex of the events and feelings of the day, not to lose sight of the permanent interests and prospec tive destinies of society. mwf T HE ONLY FULL-SIZED EVENING PAPER THE EVENING HERALD Is enlarged to Eight full-sized Pages, and is an ample Record of the Current Day's News.. The increasing importance of public events, and the rapidity with, whichthey transpire, demand a correspondini spirit of enterprise in recording them. Home and foreign news has now become so expensive that it has been found impossible to meet the reasonable requirements of newspaper readers by offering them in a journal of four pages only. The EVENING ILiRALD is consequently doubled, and now contains the - fullest Parlia mentary and other Reports with the proceedings in the Law, Bankruptcy, Insolvency; Sheriff's, Registration, County, and Police Courts. Correspondents at Paris, Thrill, Genoa, and Malta forward full and reliable intelligence, and Reporters and Correspondents at home supply the Home News, Political, Commercial, and Social, down to the moment of going to press. The EVENING HERALD may be had of any News Agent and to Subscribers paying in advance it is supplied (stamped) direct from the Publishing Office by the Five o'clock Trains to all parts of the 'United Kingdom on the following terms : Quarterly.

The distinguishing features of this journal are originality, copious reports of public proceedings, early political intelli gence from authentic and influential. sources, and assiduous attention to local news. The Patriot is largely patronised in the upper walks of life, by the clergy, professional men, and, in fact, by persons engaged in every kind of pursuit ; having an e,.•ttensive advertising con nection,, its large and varied circulation enabling it to do ample justice to all. Its Conservatism, though decided, is not exclusive. The columns 'of the Carlisle Patriot are, and have ever been, open to all persons, and parties having any pretensions to address the public on local or general topics.

Mr. Hall, master of the hospital, reported the number under treatment in that establishment, to be last week 103; admitted since, 13; discharged, 9 ; died, 1. Letters were read from Mr. Shepherd, publican, and Mr. Allen, relieving officers, in explanation of an account furnished to the board by the former for wines, spirits, &c., supplied upon orders written by the latter. Mr. Shepherd attended in person, and after Mr. Potts gave his explanation, the members of the board expressed themselves satisfied as to the correctness of the account, but as it extended over a longer period than allowed by the consolidated order, Mr. Cleaver was instructed to write to the Poor-law Board for permission to pay it. Mr. CLEAVER said it would be necessary to raise £10,430 to meet the expense of the union, and on the motion of Mr. ABRAHAMS, calls to that amount were ordered to be made on the several townships. On the motion of Mr. PILLING, Mr. Marshall was re-appointed for one month as relieving-officer. A communication from the Secretary of the London Union, together with a copy of a report of the com mittee upon the order of the Poor-law Boari, relating to the religious instruction of orphan children in work houses, were read, and Mr. Cleaver was instructed to write to the London Union, and also to the Poor-law Board, stating that the guardians agreed with the views of the committee. Mr. LEDGER expressed his belief that the Poor-law. Board interfered more frequently than they should do with boards of guardians, who knew better what was the state of certain cases that came before them, than it was possible men in London could do. He was much struek the other day, when - reading a trial before the judges in the .Court of Queen's Bench, Dublin, that they decided that the Poor-law Board could not make any thing a law by a sealed order which had not been a law before; and the result was, that in the case then being tried, the commissioners had to pay the money out of their own pockets. This was all the business of any interest. COUNTY COURT .-YESTERDAY. (Before J. K. BLAin, Esq., Judge.) INSOLVENCIES. The following petitions were heard and disposed of at this court yesterday.

In our American news of yesterday we briefly noted the fact that the first mails from the Western States, contracted for by the United States government to be carried to Europe via the Grand Trunk Railway and the Montreal Ocean Steam-ship Company's line of steamers, were brought over in the Hungarian, in charge of Gilbert Griffin, Esq., Inspector of Canadian mails. Hitherto, the whole of the United States mails have been carried by the British and North American Royal Mail steamers, leaving Boston and New York alternately every Wednesday,i but by the new arrangement which we have referred to, the whole of the correspondence posted in the United States after the sailing of the Cunard steamer on Wednesday, up to the sailing of the Montreal Ocean Steam-ship Company's steamer upon the Saturday following, will be forwarded by the Grand Trunk Railway from Chicago and Detroit, including correvondence from the westward of these points, to Portland in winter, and to Quebec in summer ' for Liverpool and London direct. The additional faci lities thus afforded by the new line of mails between Europe and the Western states of America cannot fail to be highly appreciated by the people on this side of the Atlantic, whose interest in the population of the " far west" is perhaps greater than, in ,that of any other district of the United. States, from the fact that the vast majority of our emigrants now proceed thither. The interest taken ,in the establish ment and opening up of this new and convenient medium of communication was publicly manifested in the most marked and enthusiastic manner towards the excellent agent of the' Canadian post-office, entrusted with the responsible duty of carrying the arrangement into effect for the first time; and the people of Liverpool are too sensible not to feel quite as keen an appreciation of the importance of this port having been selected as the ter minus to so important a postal and traffic route. It cannot but be gratifying to all parties to observe that the first despatch has reached its destination so quickly —it promises well for the future success of the scheme— the whole distance of above 4,000 miles from Chicago having been accomplished in twelve days and a few hours. The following particulars of this interesting despatch will be readwith interest. The mails left Chicago late on the night of the 23rd ult., with the correspondence from all points west of that. On the afternoon of the 26th they left Portland Bay. The Hungarian, which touched at Halifax on the night of the 27th,—where the officers and crew of the ill-fated Indian where taken on board, — which place the steamer left at midnight. She made Tory Island, on the north of Ireland, the following Sunday, having thus made the run from land to land in about six days. This new postal arrangement so valuable, especially to the commercial interest on both sides of the Atlantic, is in a great measure due to the intelligence and energy of the Postmaster-General of Canada, the effectual carrying out of the details of which have been accomplished by the active and expe rienced inspector, to whom that duty was comniitted. .. THE EHPEROE. OF CHINA'S DECREE IN RELATION TO MR. WARD' S MISSION.—The Pekin Gazette of Aug. 9, contained an imperial decree, in which the mission of Mr. Ward and its result are thus referred to :—" The American envoy, John Ward, kept his engagement with Kweiliang and his colleague ; sailed to the port of Peh tang, and begged for permission to go up to the capital, to present a letter from his government.

'ln hundreds of cases such thing" cannot be matched, and of course cannot be mended. The latter want has been obviated by an extraordinary and effective invention, by Mr. Adshead, of Derby Pottery, near Derby. It is a cement that may be said to heal in a perfect manner, all cracks and breaks in the articles spoken of, and not only in these, but in marble, alabaster, &c. The benefit of this article need not be dwelt on. We have seen some of its effects at. Mr. Hall's, our neighbour's, and the glass that has been cemented by it is stronger in that part than in any other. The article is very cheap, and no house can be long without it. Mr. Hall is the agent for its sale in Liverpool, and all interested can judge for themselves by lookinc , in at his establishment. Agent for Liverpool, E. T.

ADDITIONAL AND AUTHENTIC PARTICULARS FROM THE SCENE OF THE DISASTER. We have gleaned from a passenger on board the Hungarian, which brought over the crew of the ill-fated Indian, the foll?wing interesting but melancholy par ticulars, in addition to those already published. The Indian, it appears, ran u p on a ree f o f sun k en rocks, about sixty miles north of H a lif ax , covere d b y twenty-one feet of water at high tide. No observation had been taken for a couple of days prior to the catas trophe, in consequence of hazy weather; and f rom th at cause, as well.as from the variation of her compasses and the heavy tides running in these parts, the ship had got, considerably out of her course. She . struck at about 5 a.m. on the 21st, and partectamidships in about forty five minutes afterwards. It is wonderful, under the circumstances, that the loss of life was not greater than it has been. Six boats were half lowered, and ready to be launched. The forward ropes of one of the boats, when filled with people, were suddenly cut by some decident, when, of course, the bow of the boat fell down, and all were precipitated into the sea. Two of the boats filled with people were driven out to sea by the gale. One was picked up by a schooner, and the other ran ashore at a point of land thirty miles from the wreck. The Indian struck three times, the last shock sending her forward with her bow well over the reef. The loss of life took place principally from the boats being dashed against the sides of the vessel. No lives were lost subsequent to leaving the wreck, but the unfortunate people taken on board the Hungarian were in a most lamentable condition, arising from their having lost everything they possessed, besides being covered with bruises, inflicted in their endeavours to reach the boats. They were also very much frost-bitten. A large sum of money was raised by subscription on board the Hungarian, and distributed among the poor fellows who had been rescued from shipwreck. STATEMENT OF THE FIRST AND SECOND OFRICERS OF THE INDIAN. The Montreal Ocean Steam-ship Company's steamer Indian, Captain W. Smith, left Liverpool on the 9th of November, with about 300 tons of general cargo, and the remainder coals, about 800 tons, eight cabin and thirty steerage passengers, and a crew of seventy-nine. For the first few days experienced moderate and change able weather, afterwards stroir , gales of westerly winds, with frequent thick fogs, which t prevented any observa tions from being taken for several successive days. After reaching the banks of Newfoundland, soundings were taken several times, in order to ascertain the true posi tion of theship. On Saturday, the 19th of November, the fog . began to disperse about noon, when an in different observation was taken, which placed the ship about 15 miles to the southward of the latitude of Cape Race. At 1 p.m, of the same day, the fog being entirely dispersed, but still cloudy, the land was seen about Cape Race, and distant about 18 or 20 miles. A course was then shaped to pass between Sable Island and the coast of Nova Scotia. At midnight the wind veered to the southward, and again brought on a dense fog, which continued imtil 5 p.m. of Sunday, Nov. 20. At noon of Sunday struck soundings in 40 fathoms of water, sup posed to be on Banquerean Bank. These soundings not coinciding with the run of the ship by dead reckoning from Cape Race, the ship was again stopped at 1 p.m., and soundings taken in 43 fathoms water ; afterwards soundings were taken at 2.30, at 4, at 5, 6.40, 8 and 9, varying from 43 to 30 fathoms, which led us to conclude from the regularity of the soundin g s , that the ship was still en the Banqurean Bank, but had been influenced by a southerly current setting out of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and that the ship was placed to the southward of her reckoning. Every possible care and strict atten tion was now directed to the lead, to watch the track of the ship over the bank; and, supposing by the previous soundings that we were approaching the edge of the bank, the captain ordered the ship to be stopped at 10.30, and soundings again taken. No bottom was found with 71 fathoms of line out, which convinced him that the ship had gore off the Banqurean Bank, and was approaching the middle ground north of Sable Island. To confirm this conviction the ship was again stopped at 11.30, and bottom found in 68 fathoms, which left no doubt in his mind as to the position of the ship, and his opinion was still further confirmed by getting soundings in 40 fathoms water, at 12'30 ; and the same at 2.40 a.m. of Monday the 21st. During all this time the weather was thick, with heavy sleet and snow show __ . . . veering to the northward, the weather clearing up a little, but still exceedingly dark and cloudy. About 5 a.m. the ship struck on a ledge of rocks, which. proved to be the Seal Rocks, off the small fishing har bour of Mariet Joseph, coast of Nova Scotia. After she struck, the engines were stopped and reversed ; but finding she was firmly fixed on the rocks, and filling with water in all the compartments, the boats were ordered to be cleared away. Nos. 1 and 2 boats were the first putout, and lowered level with the rail, hang ing to their davits. Nos. 3 and 4_ were next cleared_ away, No. 3 was put out in safety ; but, by this time, the ship was beginning to strain, and the after davit of No. 4 boat was firmly jammed in consequence, defying all attempts to launch her for some time. While some of the crew were getting this boat clear, Nos. 5 and 6 were lowered in safety, but No. 7 was swamped in lowering. When the ship struck the sea was not very rough, and it was about high water, but in about 15 or 20 minutes heavy breakers from the reef came rollin g alongside the ship, filling No. 2 boat suddenly, breaking the davits, precipitating her into the water, turning her bottom upwards, and drowning all who were in her. The German family, third and fourth engineers, joiner, and two seamen are supposed to have been lost in this boat. No. 3, in charge of the second officer, was now ordered by the captain to be lowered and brought to leeward of the ship ; just as she was unhooked from the tackles, and they were endeavouring to get the boat clear of the ship's side, No. 1 boat came down into the water with a fearful crash, drowning the greater number in her ; several of them were picked up by No. 3 1 boat. All the lives that were lost, with one ex ception, were lost in these two boats (Nos. 1 and 2). The cause of the accident to No. 1 boat is supposed to have arisen from a heavy roller touching her bottom, and lifting her in the tackles, so that, coming down with a jerk from this cause, and-the weight of the persons in her, straightened out the after davit, filling her aft with water, the fore end of her still being suspended - from the davit, when; by some means not known, it was also disengaged, and the boat turned bottom upwards in the water. After picking up these men, No. 3 boat managed to get round to the lee side of the ship ; but was driven to sea, and succeeded in reaching. shore about nine hours afterwards, thirty miles to the westward of the wreck. Nos. 5 and 6 boats were also driven considerably to leeward of the wreck; but, the tide turning and the weather moderating, they succeeded in reaching the b a y nd a passengersschoone r, shore, much fatigued, after being nine hours i n the boat. No. 4 was finally put out, but in reaching the water she was half filled. The third office r then we nt into the boat to assist the others to bale her out, wh en the rope, them picked at Boston, up about rrh noon o c o re n w which was fast to the boat , was broken, and they were driven which and th w h o were in the boats suffered much f rom co ld, th ere being a cold north wind blowing, w ith a h ar d f ros t. About forty-five mi nu t es a f ter t h e ship struck she parted in two, breaking am id s hi ps b y th e b r idge, and landed d sea ed the fore-end separating about forty feet from the after end, and falling: over to port, having a bout twenty-five of the crew on i t, who were afterwards brought to the after-end of-the ship by means of a rope. About noon boats came from the shore to our assistance, and landed the rest of the passengers and a few of the crew. Several schooners passed the wreck during the day, while signals of distress were flying and guns being fired, but they paid no attention to us. Towards the afternoon, however, two came within hail, and promised to remain and take the remainder of the crew off the wreck. One, unfortunately, was driven on the reef alongside the ship, and became a. total wreck. The other landed us all safe at dark in the village of Mariet Joseph. During the night it fell calm, and parties from the shore went and plundered the wreck, carrying off the clothes of the passengers and crew, and the silver plate belonging to the ship. At daylight the following day the chief officer and a boat's crew went to the wreck, and succeded in saving the mails and a few moveable articles from the saloon at low water. In the afternoon a breeze from the south east sprung up, which increased during the night, with - a heavy fa lof snow. The next morning not a vestige of the wreck was to be seen. When the Indian struck she was going about 81- knots under steam, and some of her-fore and aft canvass was set: • (Signed) JAMES STEWART, First Officer. WM. H. SMITH, Second Officer. l .
