THE DAY'S NEWS There seems now to be but little doubt that the armistice will result in the re-establishment of peace, and if this should be so, it will be One of the first fruits of the present British Ministry, for it stated on the authority of the Times correspondent at Vienna, that it was they who brought about the The plan of Napoleon for revolutionising Hungary and Transylvania is disapproved of by the cabinet of St. Petersburgh. The war is not generally popular. In reference to the armistice the Times remarks :—" Truces are merely military arrangements which are sometimes followed by a renewal of war, as they were in 1813 and 1849. The cause of the armistice is undoubtedly a conviction in the mind of the Emperor that a suspension of hostilities is at this time very convenient and very expedient to himself. These are the reasons lying on the surface ; but," says the Times, "if the war had proceeded it could scarcely have failed to tell unfavourably upon his relations with Rome. He has not yet committed himself to the task of revolutioOsing Hungary ; but the,toreh was lighted, alias set fire to, and the hour was appointed at which he was to throw it. The army of Italy has gathered its laurels, and may be content. The army of the Rhine is not fully mus tered. When brought into position, it will, as we shall be duly informed in the Monitean-,' only be there to check any ambitious enterprises on the part of Prussia against the integrity of the French Empire." The Daily Hews says, on the same subject, "th e military considerations which have been suggested to account for this unexpected step are either unreal or far too weak to explain it. It is no secret that Prussia is preparing a mediation which may prove both offensive in form and hostile in spirit to France. Austria, uninvited to give up Lombardy and Venice will probably refuse these conditions, and resolve to continue the war, but she would do so under the condemnation of the world. We have no proof as yet that Austria is less obstinate than she has always been. If, therefore, a desirable peace should grow out of the negociations about to commence, the result would be so much the more wel come, as it now appears unlikely. A letter from Ham burgh says that several arrests of Slavic agitators, who are in the interets of Prussia, have taken place at Prague. Martial law has been proclaimed in Bohemia against those who seek to tamper with the troops. The Moniteur of yesterday explains under what circumstances an armistice has taken' place. " The great neutral powers exchanged communications with the object of offering their mediation with the belligerent parties, whose first act was to be an 'armistice, but the endeavour to bring about this result was not successful till some days ago when our fleet was about to begin hostilities against Venice ; a new conflict before Verona was imminent. The Emperor, faithful to his sentiments of moderation, and anxious to prevent useless effusion of blood, did not hesitate to assure himself whether the disposition of the Emperor of Austria was conformable with his own. It was a sacred duty for the two Emperors immediately to suspend hostilities which the media tion could render objectless. The Emperor of Austria having She - vin similar intentions the armis tice was concluded," On Monday, the 11 th ins ant, armistice THE NORTHERN TIMES, TUhSDAY, DULY 12, 1859 an interview between the two Emperors was to take place at Villafranca. The llfoniteur also publishe the order of the day contained in the message from Turin of yesterday. • . The Liverpool Town Council. met yesterday, and a full report of the proceedings will be found in another part of our paper. It will be observed,that the dis cussions on several points were of great importance. to the inhabitants of the borough, not the least of. which was the extraordinary fact elicited by Mr. J. R. Jeffery that the Corporation had lent the St: James's Cemetery- a- Joint-Stock Company—the sum of £7,000, which, with interest, now amounted to about £lO,OOO. In explanation, Mr. Stewart stated that, previous to the reformed Corporation's existence, £7,000 was advanced by the Corporation towards the construction of that cemetery, under the act of Parliament. The money was advanced upon something like an engagement that the Corporation and other parties who advanced it should be paid five per cent. interest. In 1841, finding that the interest had not been paid, it was proposed to add the amount of interest, which had accumulated so far, to the capital, and to make the interest payable upon the increased sum. The amount, however, had never been paid. He believed there was no means of recovering any amount, but by selling what might be called some shares, but which he believed would not realise much at present. The Town-clerk did not know whether any bonds or shares had ever been delivered to the Council. Mr. Alderman Holme always looked upon the amount as a bad debt, in fact, as the Council's subscription to the cemetery- Ultimately the subject was referred to the Finance Committee to report upon. THE EMPIRE IS PEACE " AGAIN! THE question which suggested itself, with con siderable solicitude, to the minds of most political writers and thinkers, weeks before the vaunted " Liberator of Italy " arrived upon what may soon be the scene either of fresh crimes against humanity, or of the inauguration of a novel course of honour and public faith, now presses upon Europe with increased cogency and uneasiness. "What will he do: with it 9" While many of us were expecting yet another bloody and eventful scene, which should close the first act of the play, a midnight telegram, with the suddenness of a celestial messenger, seems to hurry us into the denouement of the fifth. With the first pause for breathing, so dearly purchased by the bloody day of Solferino, reposing—if it could be called reposing—on the banks of the conquered Mincio, alternately elated by the semblances of victory and depressed with the mournful reminis cences which generally belong to the vanquished, the wearied Gaul shows himself a not un willing listener to the whispers of Peace. Another fresh victory, and NAPOLEON would have been ruined. The summary process of the sword had begun to realise difficulties uglier and more tedious than the first onset had promised. Notwitstanding the provisional success of his impetuosity, it had 'done nothing but bring him to the very threshold of the lion's lair ; and whereas it might fail in cutting the knot, or could only succeed at the most tremen dous sacrifices, another solution might be found without involving the loss of a warlike reputation, brief indeed, but easily flattered into glory. In proportion as this contains any truth, and according to the measure in which Louis NAPOLEON has appreciated the lesson of the past campaign, will be the moderation of the terms proposed to the Emperor of Austria ; and, correspondingly, the disappointment of the anticipations formed at its commencement. We cannot avoid the use of strong language in the midst of the sycophancy of one part of the Press, and the coward hypocrisy of another, which dissembles its real sentiments, lest the adoption of a manly tone should provoke to invasion a sensitive and inflated.. parvenu ; and, therefore,' we set down as mere drivelling the proposition that the French Emperor is in a position to dictate the terms of a conqueror. What ! —with the army of his Ally, at the very outset of the war, enfeebled almost to annihilation; with his own choice regiments cut to pieces, and France rummaged from one end to the other to recruit their wasted strength ? When the last, no doubt glorious; effort of his arms—announced to the womanly enthusiasm of his Imperial Consort as an alcuostdecisive blow at the power of Austria—numbered: by thousands, both in officers and privates, his preponderance of loss over that of an - enemy inferior in force, and whose ultimate retreat was mainly owing to the lamentable divisions of Generals, and to circumstances whose recurrence could not only not be calculated. upon, but was evidently improbable in the next phase of the contest When to gain so little had already cost him so much, and when all previous advantages were within an ace of being lost, and when we recollect how Germans had often fought even against the First NAPOLEON, what might we have expected, now that the real -struggle was looining close at hand, demanding still 'mightier efforts-from the one, and involving for the other new conditions of strength and reliance? Was NAPOLEON, too, not surrounded by difficulties foreign to the battle-field, and distractions perplexing to a mind occupied with the novelty of warlike pursuits, and on the keen scent of a new glory ? Were no political complications lik - e a cloud in the horizon giving token of rising to the zenith, in concentrated blackness, for the moment of explosion ? And have we not heard some whispers of plots, and adventurous assassins, who have not lost the memory of the unavenged ORSINI. We have long survived the age, indeed' when bulls from the Vatican excited apprehension in foreign States, or the " major -excommunication" was capable of raising uneasiness in the minds of rulers ; but if the strength.of NAPOLEON'S position in France at all rests on the semblance of universal suffrage, or the will of the nation ; and if one of the main defences of his despotism is to propitiate and delude the great mass of the people, then the disaffection of the Papal Court must, by tending to alienate the- hood dispositions of the French clergy, react upon the popular voice, which is moulded, by their skill and management. To infringe upon the temporal power of the Pope, and thereby disgust the clergy, would be to sign the death-warrant of the empire. The fulsome lauda tions of the French Bishops are not for nothing. Were the present enterprise to issue in a crusade against the Pontificial Government, what would become of the audacious, proposition uttered by an episcopal mouth, that GOD, with the " concurrence " of the Frenoh nation, was about to achieve the, happiness of mankind? The priestly Owl:mu that the -elevation of -Louis NAPOLEON was a benefit due to the Church from the " gratitude " of the Almighty--words we are afraid to transcribe—was a splendide mendax of impiety which deserves or looks for- a ; .large recom pense of reward. The " Patrimony ohSt. PETER," . then, is sacred even to Louis NAPOLEON, to wholn nothing is sacred that stands in the way of his necessities or his desires. Within this circle his hands drOp powerless—he dares not, if he would, break the charm ; andlthe " Liberator" las solemnly declared his intention to increaffe, if necessary, the armed" force with which, for ten years, he has propped up the most hopeless tyranny in Italy. The national metropolis of the captive nation is at all events to be denied it, and at the very acme of their aspirations the cry of " nationalities " is to be stifled; as Austria smothered the cries of Lombardy, as FERDINAND crushed, in his dungeons, the rising intelligence of Naples. The pretentious and lawless ' scheme, which, if it' dick I not avail to elate the fond credulity of a people struggling to be free, was nnnounced to Europe in grave and sympathising languages, which based its defence on the complete- ness ofthe boon it proferred them, sinks into a com promise. The further progress of the campaign, it is evident, whether one of uninterrupted success, or of insurmountable difficulties, would have involved the matter beyond compromise. The complete annihila tion of. Austria would have set the whole Peninsula in a blaze, and would have justified and infallibly superinduced the ultimate reforms, th&brief episode of 1843, have b only the vain dreams and longing 3 of fruitlesi enthusiasm in exil On the other and muzzled patriotism at home hand, the failure or' hesitation of the aggressors would have brought into play active elements, which it *mild have been beyond the power of Lours NAPOLEON to control. The cry of " Viva l'ltalia " extending from the coasts of Sicily to the Alps, might have mingled discordantly with the hacknied salutations of Vive l'Empareur, at the mouth of a dispirited army. We repeat that, whether in failure- or in success, the policy of compromise into which this great question has descended involves the expe diency and even necessity of a compromise on the battlefield. Supposing the question decided with Austria by the sword ; and the Eagle which already surmounts the' pinnacle's of Milan, fluttering over the shattered walls of Mantua and. Verona, and gazing on the widowed bay of Venice- 7 a question pregnant with complications still more awkward and personal, was left behind it, and even generated by its decision. But while.we speculate on the eanies of events, they are going through new phases. The diplomatic hand of Europe is again moved to its foundations, and we must wait with patience the solution elimi nated from the depths of its tortuous craft, of the question, " What will they do with it ?"

INDIA, It is stated, in the Cakutto Phanix of June 3, that tile conduct of the dissatisfied European soldiers has been excel lent, and at most stations they were foremost iu doing honour- to her Majesty's birthday. " They now " quietly await the result of aft appeal to Parliament.", On the 24th of May, at 10 , 1 - a.m , the Governor-General held his, first levee as Viceroy of India. The Bishop of Calcutta, with the archdeacon and the clergy of the inett-o polls, read an address to the Queen, congratulating. her Majesty on the pacification of the country, and expressing " the views of the clergy, upon the relation "of the govern ment of this country to its subjects' in a religioui point of view." The bishop then congratulated Lord Canning on the honours' with which his labours had been recently' rewarded, and hoped that he might long live to enjoy them. The Governor-General, in reply, stated that the address should be duly forwarded to the Secretary of State for India,. and thanking the' clergy for the congratulations addressed to himself and his rrovernment, concind:al with an 'expres-. sion of gratitude ftir. the "steady introduction,of peace over the whole of the vast empire." In the evening there was a ball at Government House. The Phcenix says, Lord Canning, intends to leave Car- oatta in September neat for a tour in the north-west provinces. The Englishman is informed that the tiorernor-General in Council has refused to allow missionaries to visit native jails at stated hours, unless sent for by any native. To act otherwise' would be "to turn the machinery of justice and civil government to religious purposes,"% and caus3 it to be said that we have, ".under the pretence of adininistering justice, made it a method of conversion," The Englishman estimates the Patrla opium' crop this season.at 18,000 chests. The Calcutta volunteer guards have been disbanded, and the Governor-General, on the Ist instant, addressed the following letter to the Consul-General of the United States The Right flon. the Govern Ssned a general order announcit disbandment of the Calcutta -Volunteer. Guards . from- this date, and conveying the thanks of the _government to the British and European inhabitants of Calcutta, for the cheerful and hearty manner, in which they rendered their ail in a time of need, and performed their respective duties at a great sacrifice of their own time and convenience, his Excellency in Council directs me to 'request that you will have the goodness to offer to the American inhabitants'of Calcutta who joined the Volunteer Guards, the cordial acknowledgment of the government of India-for the friendly and valuable services performed by them also at "a"*Period of public'anxiety:" " - 4 The commercial report in the Hurkaru is as follows : . `.` The money market continues easy, and accommodations are procurable from English- houses, on good security at half per cent below the bank's rates.

The prient quotations are fours 129 to 1291 diseount, fives 14-j to 15; and five-and-a-half, paper, 7 to 74. During the month of May, about 30 lakhs were paid into the treasury on account of the new loan,with the same amount of 5 percent 'paper. In exports, the prod'uce.market has assumed a more favourable turn since the last mail. Corahs have been in active request at fully former price's. Strgar has been pur-: chased to a fair extent at improved, prices. Saltpetre has been in active inquiry- fer Europe at an advance' of one rnpee per maund. - Rice. is engaging attention for the English market at a rather better price. Linseed has also engaged attention. Jute is in better inqniry at steady. prices. Raw silk has been: in limited operation, and hides are in good demand, but" scarce. In imports, theprices of all grey goods have further receded, but within the last day or two the market has assumed a better aspect for shirtings and jaconets. White cottons of all description are in moderate request. IWule twist has improved both in demand" and price. The inquiry has been principally for Nos. 40 and 50 at an advaeee of three pie - per morah. Woollens are without improvement, but the season for ope ration is approaching ; and metals are without any sensible change of value: Importers are firm, and business limited owing to the tightness of money. CHINA, The Overland Friend of China, of May 21, reports : " Our minister for Pekin is ; still in• Hong : Kong, but will leave for the north, it is said, early next week. The whole of the first battalion of Royal Marine Light Infantry, some six hundred men, will accompany his,. Excellency to the Peiho. As a finish to southern troubles, the steam transport Assistance has been sent with these men to the neighbour hood of Ileang-shan, where' they are to be debarked and marched through the district city. As this place, more than any other in the south, has long- exhibited a most deter mined hatred of foreigners, it is only right that its brag gadocial and malevolent spirit should be propel-ly curbed. Though late is the day, the effect of the visit =must be beneficial, even if blood has to be drawn before the Assist ance returns to Hong Kong. [After writing this we heard that the populace of Heang-shan, seeing the preparations made by tho on cials for the reception of the British officers, got up a riot, destroyed they bamboo piers, sheds, &c., and pelted the mandarins in,their chairs.] "It is reported that the French are negoeiatinc , for transports to convey the small remnant of their- quota to the Canton garrison down to, Cochin China, where every avail able man is in serious requisition.

The frightful occurrence was witnessed hi some men at work at some new buildings opposite, who extricated the unfortunate child, and she was conveyed to the surgery of Mr. Davis, of Warwick-street, but so dread" ful were the injuries received that she expired in about ten- minutes.

With the exception of the latter, the other parties are prepared to build steamers of great size and power, especially for the service. Messrs.

The land is bad (or else it wool; probably never have been made a present of), but I shield think cabbages and potatoes are not exactly the p ro d uc e the lover of "Eloise" will ask from his garden, and the fed trees round it give it a cool, shady, sequestered air, that i 5 charming in this broiling weather.
