Its length, however, precludes us from doing more than describe its object in the paragraph, which will be .found'elseWhere. The name of Mr. Smith O'Brien is now to be added. .to . the asSailants of Lord Derby, for his recent wholesome - exercise of duty as a landed proprietor in Ireland, by directing the removal of a foul,stigma which attaches to- his estates ther4 l7 --- his . tenantry hating beconie the screeners.nf, if not the participators in, assassination. It is only necessary - remember the antecedents Of. this Irish worthy, to be satisfied that the censure of such a character can - only enhance the claini Which Lord Derby has to the respect of every friend of Order and virtue. We give some particulars of what we were only able verk' briefly to indicate yesterday,. respecting ,the .disposal of, the, charge. against a somewhat fanatical individual, of participating in the recent riots at St. ,George's-in-the-East. The accused was given up, it would seem, a sort of peace offering, We only hope that .so Well-intentioned a disposal- of the charge -may have the desired effect. The magistrate gay? both parties some excellent advice; and, if it is only followed, there is every hope that peace may at length be restored to that long-distracted parish. At the weekly meeting of the Health Committee yesterday, Dr. Duncan, the medical - ofKeer, re= ported very favourably as to the general -health of the town, the report being based on. the comparatively low rate of mortality. This gratifying result he attributed mainly to the valuable sanitary. works which have been carried out in the town, and in,some degree also to the favourable atmospheric conditions which have of late prevailed. At the monthly meeting of the Licensed Victuallers' Association, held yesterday, the pro ceedings of which will be found reported in another column, it was resolved to send a deputation to the Water Committee to asce r t a i n what was intended by ilia committee, in reo.ard NORTHERN DA.ITA TIMES. . . to. some apprehended increase of the water-rates meant to be charged upon them.

This . was the case some three ' years ago, when the venality of the Mayoralty had - be - conie intolerable. By a convulsive effort, a re-election was I:ldeated, which would have been at once a disadvantage and a disgrace to them all. Such an effort, however, could only succeed in resisting successfully the influences of - an overbearing, unscrupulous democracy, under ;some extraordinary pressure. It is only by the force of some strong excitement that it can ever be .made available. Ordinarily, men of high character and real respectability remain passive' and allow themselves to be rode rough-shod over' as it were,—as would in all probability be the ease among ourselves, did Radicalism once suc ceed in gaining the ascendant in our Municipal Government. We 'point to 'such a case as this, then, as a warning to our fellow-townsmen. So long as there is a Conservative majority in our Town Council, so long, we may be sure, will our Muni cipal affairs be rightly and respectably dealt with,=the Town Council maintained in its legi timatn functions,—and its efforts directed to' the public good. The experience of the last few years has clearly established this fact We would not undervalue the importance of a strong Liberal Opposition in the Council. The ma jority of any public body is all the better for being kept in check ; and we should be . sorry to find even the COnservatives in our Town Couucil left to have entirely their own way, fouls .on *tit.

COFFEE.—The quantity offered in public sale was naamtained, but the general interests of the town so materially advanced We believe there is no I\lllicipal Councii tl4l kingdom that stands higher in its character as a public body than that :a-we have just adverted to,--that, rainely, bf its being a Conservative body ,—its being con stiited, 'to a 'very 'g•re t at ektent, Of some of the best of our citizens ; and these, then whose pre- sence in the Council would never have been secured, had that,party_in - the Borough which is ever the opponent .of everything. that is Con- This:is a point which; at "a moment likt the present, tis of the utmost importance to bear in mind. If the Radicals once succeed in gaining a predominance meat ; we may 'depend upon it, will the character of the Council become detei4orated. It is not merely that Radical influences would hai'e a disastious effect in the administration of the affairs of the Cor- poration ; but a :Radical majority would, to a certainty, repel, in no long process, of time, the attendance of nkany who now give up their time and talents to the service of the. Borough, and whose:presence . in such a holy, as experience has so often shown, •is 'our - great - security for the right administration of Municipal affairs There is another consideration. The Conserva tives: have maintained - their - ascendancy in the :Town Council. without Making it a political body. The.y....do_not_come there with any political-objects , , discourage, indeed, on eyery, occasion, Me intro- duction of politics, and are opposed, upon princi- ple, to: the; Cougoil being mdde: a political arena hat we have our Municipal: affairs ,701 adininistered, by main- the Council, ut we also have the character of that 1364 ren- dered more respectable, its functions more properly ... executed, and the town spared many of those, un- seemly. exhibitions which political factions are so apt:to-have recourse to, whenever they find the reins of power in their hands There is no one respect, that we are aware of, in which advantage would arise.to,such,a town as Liverpeol, i frpm its, . • having a Radical Town Council: but there are many, reas - oio for a l pprehending, that a Council of such a political ,character would,_ be constantly inflicting upon - the town, through its political -viV i 4hich, in 'tile aggregate, would agitation, constitute • such a body something very like a nuisance 'to any' ebiliiiuniq like ours If any one can really doubt '•the soundness of our surmises, we would direct his attention to the case-of-the - city - of--New - York ; -and - we da - so the more readily, because eve know that among many of our principal citizens,- the circumstances of that important transatlantic city are well known. Now, in New York, under Republican institu tior4, very similar political influences prevail to those which would be in the ascendancy; were our Town Council a Radical body. Arid what is 'the eonseqnence . ? Why, in the first Place, with very, slight exceptions,: and these for special reasons, the more respectable citizens,—those who, from their property and intelligence and social position and character, -are the most-emi nently qualified to fill _responsible "..turiicipal offices,— With one accord refuse to have anything to do with them. They shrink from coming .in Contact with=thoSe democratic spirits which such political' influences s return, to i Council, and cannot think of being 4 icientiged 'avid. such pro ceedings as are genefally had recourse to by _a body so constituted,—transactions, too often in- volving the grossest corruption, and venality of every shade—too much of it with the direct object of putting money "into their own pockets, or the pockets of their kith and kin ; or else in bartering for . political . support in more extended spheres of f action, t riad for , :,the still greater per son-al advantage of the parties themselves. One practical effect of such a state of things as this is; that the city taxes have become a most intoler able burthen, while many of the public purposes to which "those taxes ought to be apprOpriated, are utterly neglected, and the money voted for them squandered away under the most corrupt expedients: It is true, that an occasion will now and then arise, when the virtue and respectability without let or hindrance from any influential Opposition All we contend for is, the mainten- ance of such a Conservative majority as will insure the respectable character of the Council, and be a guarantee that its proceedings will ever be directed to promote, not the political interests of any party, but the Municipal interests of the town at large. THE Aberdeen manifesto of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, if it is to be taken as the prelude to a definite course of political conduct, gives so strange and novel an aspect to Liberalism, and is so likely to exercise an influence on the fortunes of parties in the coming struggle, that we think no apology necessary for recurring to a subject which will, notwithstanding, be of more immediate interest next February than now. Yet, in any case, we know not whether' it is not as well for Conser vatives to be informed of the exact relative positions of themselves and their opponents, before they are in the midst of the strife, and placed by the force of circumstances in battle- array, In: the first-place, if Lord JOHN . RUSSELL be sincere in his recent utterances, he cannot avoid looking upon the designs of Mr. BRIGHT and his followers with disapproval and alarm. To receive them, either with a qualified dissent or an easy indifference, would be a very grave im putation either upon his patriotism or his intelli- Bence. To dismiss the question of an entire remodelling of . our political system, such as that rich our incipient democrats contemplate, merely' as a debateable scheme which is beyond abilities to conceive . or his. strength to execute, is to throw .an air of insin- over ' his ' profeS§ions, or to misappre hend- fatally the magnitude and : value of the cerity stake at issue: — Conservatives are often derided for apprehending too Much danger from the dreams of those wild and reckless empirics. But can any one who has happily achieved that know ledge of the Constitution which Mr. BRIGHT . tells us he has failed to master, doubt that an entirely new basis is involved, both in the avowed and in the secret plans with which the Manahei; ter School are now about to inflame the igno- ranee and selfishness of mobs ? It may be an advantage that we are not called upon to argue With Lord JOINT RUSSELL the reality or the merits of the English Constitution, or that all our reforms should b - e . 'based upon its characteris- tics,.and _even considerate of its eccentricities. But if so, he must perceive as well as we, that to invest one class of the nation with a great pre ponderance, of political power, and to elevate the numerical theory above the dictates of political yrisdom, and the natural pre-eminence of social and political virtue, is to drift into a theory wholly foreign to the English Constitution, certain to, change entirely the face of English society, and turn away the current of our national life. But if so, why - this coquetting with the mob leaders, who have identified themselves With these revolution ary principles, and even make no secret, or a very transparent one, of their ultimate intentions ? Why give encouragemeut.to the general impres sion,that these political alias are parts of the " Great Liberal Interest," that they inspire its " Liberality," and are prepared to goad it; when it hesitates or falters, into its legitimate work ? Why was it complained of with so confident an appearance of reason, that Mr. BRIGHT had no' Place offered him in the Whig Cabinet ; and accepted as a just and natural arrangenieni that Mr. COBDEN'S assistance was solicited ? What ! Ii there any natural alliance bet Ween the author of those Conservative sentiments at Aberdeen and the Manchester seiolists, who are about to put the English plebs through a course of demo cratic instruction.? . 'What part could Mr. BRIGHT take in deliberations of which Lord JOHN . RUSSELL is to have the direction ? What duty could Mr. BRIGHT discharge fo a reform bill of 'which Lo'id JOHN - RUSSELL isto have the preparation ? Is there no danger, is there no crime, in patting these popular misleaders on the back, and in giving the people to know that they hold a recognised and respectable position among patties l ? a .section even c ompose so large and for m,dabe to consu lt their prejudices, or respect their ,ionin the State, that there is need D se o they OCTOBER 7, 1859. hatreds, or propitiate their resentment ? On the contrary, they have no strength but what the " moderate Liberal!! party give them; they hale no status but what they derive from the.cclun- tenanced impression, , that the great mass of Liberal politicians sympathise with them in prin ciple, and - only question the prudence or the practicability of the proposed modes of its de velopment. Are Mr. Blum:Ws-theories, in their comprehensiveness, so harmless or so majestic, that that constitutionalism to which the breeze of the north seemed to impart a strange and unwonted- - vigour, could find no stronger objection than: lle' merely negative and merely incidental ? If Lord JOHN'S only reason for pretermitting the projects of Mr. BRIGHT is his own weakness and incapa city, why not leave to Mr. BRIGHT the embodying of his own conceptions, the bringing of his own offspring to perfection ? In Mr. BRIGHT We are to recognise one who knows no touch of fear, whose genius disdains the aid of experience and counsel, whose intuition trans cends all secrets of history and time. Doubt not, in that fertile brain stands all fully equipPed the Minerva waiting to go forth, but a sharp and brief- preparation, that the scales may-fa/1 from men's eyes,—there needs but the uplifting of the curtain, and the perfect vision men have sighed for 'stands revealed. Wh at need of hesitation or holding back—what need to deprecate the precision of the "Registrar or the " Surveyor ?" Mr. BRIGHT will improvise you a Constitution in half an hoar. With, the thrift and prescience of genius, the political Chart is already mentally laid. up with more than the accuracy of the Registrar-General, with note than the precision of the Surveyor, with wor e , than the certainty of the Arithmetician. It 'f' g already dOne by classification of heads ; it is al ready done by line- and rule and measurement it is - already done by dot and carry one Lord JOHN RUSSELL or his weak hearted c°l - trouble their souls with these petty ob stacles. If he who can guide the fleet through the channel, or handle dexterously the surgeon's knife, or, perhaps, go on a tight-rope over Nia gara, finds in the remodelling of a political system too tough an operation, and just the las t point where his overmastering skill is mastered, let him abdicate his functions as a weak, inee'e l petent, and fribling journeyman. Go,' you and your " time-honoured" Constitution, to the fee t of the Brummagem artificer.. Let us-- have the era,of JOHN BRIGHT the First, when the domes tic house shall be set in order, - the complicat ed mechanism of the State fall into the precision of a landscape-garden, and Presidential " messages There neec Let not travel round the world, and bind the nations into one. Though But to come to the gist of the matte' Lord Jos' RUSSELL finds his personal accolult in coquetting with parties, and propitiating op— posing interests, is he to be alloWed to play with the safety of the Constitution ? Is he to be allowed to stake all upon the paltry consideration, that the assistance of the revoltitionist section will enable him to achieve a Parliamentary sue- cess over traditional opponents, and—that the Constitution will last his time ? Is the preserva tion of the State to - be entrusted to one who affects a partial alliance with its avowed enemies, is willing to sit with theta in the chambers of counsel, and share with them the. mana,gc- ment of its affairs,—who thinks to secure tho worst and lowest popularity by an infusion of the democratic element, and puffs a weak and worthless sect into factitious and dangerous portance ? We say it boldly, that no honest °r . patriotic man, ,holding Lord JOHN RUSSI'.I.: utttre - d - opinions, could for one moment consort' or for one moment suffer the suspicion of c°rl - with Mr. BRIGHT and his confederates," We say it boldly, that no matter whether -"- ad. JOHN RUSSELL'S private sentiments be constitu tional, or his uncoerced intentions moderate 313(1 loyal, the Constitution is not safe out of t . 1 1: unfettered and willing hands of its hereditarl 0 guardians—that th a t grea t p ar ty w hich " 1135 i ll , policy" is one c l ear ly p rove d b o th by the un uis to guised enmity of Radicals and the .treaeher%., advocacy of Whigs, to be its only real Cot° Tatars, and its only safe Reformers. z , ' NOTES OF THE DAY According to an official communication froni;biho John Russell to Mr. Bruce, our plenipotentiary i n v he r (with reference to the recent affair in the • 110 - - Majesty has commanded preparations to be ma d e If f h is will enable her forces, in conjunction with those °.Ol in Majesty the Emperor of the French, to suppo rt 11I c or the execution of the instructions which will be b et no addressed to him —instructions with the view, has donbt, of obtaining redress for the outrage that the recently been perpetrated, and for carrying ` 911 . 00 se' measures still to betaken to procure the ratifieatchl Pekin of the treaty between Great Britain and orelo F •0•0 In this communication of our Minister for col- Affairs, an unanimity of action is evidentlY,..cheh lated • npon ' between the British and IL f i n d Plenipotentiaries ; and it is satisfactory i . t his that, simultaneously with the publication °which, correspondence, we have intelligence, from Paris French if true, completely contradicts all the recent ~Yrehcb rumours .with respect to the part which the Th e Government will take in the expedition to ennrenclx probabilities are now strongly in favour of th e o pedi - Government entering heartily into the Chi present tion ; and there are many reasons why , at tw-sueh an conjuncture; France should be our ally in f r om enterprize. - - • ns We are assured by the latest comma'ica tio en lode.
