This -despatch was received from Raraburgh, and was :dated Sunday. It set forth that accounts had 'beef' ;received at that place, reporting the first hostilities ;between the Austrian army of invasion and the Sardiuian• forces, and represented that the latter ;were obliged to fallback, but not until they' inflicted ) se vere loss upon the Austrians. A despatch f rom Turin, dated Sunday, states that 2,000 Austrians oe eupy Motara, and 400 infantry and 60 cavalry Novaro. ',The Moniteur of Sunday publishes a circular note, :dated the 27th of April, addressed by Count Walewski to the diplomatic agents of foreign Powers. Thenote describes the present position of Vpolitical affairs, and expressei - much' satisfaction at the conciliatory spirit displayed by .England, p Prussia, and Russia. It states the wish that the Other Powers which compose the Germanic Confole- ration may not allow themselves to be misled by - renriniseences of - epochs quite different from the 'present; and hopes "that - the - statesmen of Germany will,..perceive that it depends on them to put -limits upon the extension and duration of a war which France conscientiously feels that she has not provoked. The Paris correspondent of the Times, writing on -Sunday night,- says- the declaration of war against Austria was expected ,to appear in yesterday's Moniteur, or the day after. The Austrian AMbaSsador would probably leave yesterday (Monday). The same writer se.ys :---" The regi ment _of Caribineers stationed , at Versailles, and which was tinder orders to proceed to Strasbourg, has been countermanded. It remains in its , old quarters for the present. Every thing,- shows that the preparations for war- were not completed, and how desirable it was to gain time. The - Erni:lPror's departure for the army is sa id t o b e fixed f for Tuesday, two days sooner than'inten ( ded. An aide camp of Marshal Pelissier has come from London with despatches for the French Government, and which are said to be important. Competent judges declare, from personal observation, that trade in France has not been in so bad a state since the revolution of 1848 as it is at present. It is said that proclamations are to be circulated.in Hungary, calling upon the people to throw oil' the dominion of Austria. It is certain, however, that the Cabinet of Vienna profess to feel - no sort of alarm about Hungary, and disbeliees the possibility of a. rising." The Moniteur de l' Armee announces -that the army for the Alps will henceforth be despatched by the army of Italy. . The 6th of May is the anniversary of Napoleon's departure from Paris previous to the battle of Marengo, and it is thought that the present Emperor H will set out to join the army of Italy on that day. The progress of the Elections continue to be watched with interest, but so far it is impossible accurately. to , state the actual results. At the Buck inghamshire nomination to-day, Mr. Disraeli was le - inn - led without' opposition. Li his address he dented the report of secret treaties between Vranee 'and' Russia, and gave a most .hopeful neconnt . 'of the present condition of the country. The nomination of candidates to represent the southirn division of -Lancashire in Parliament took firape, yesterday, at NewtOn-in-the-Willows. An express train . left Lime-street station,- at an :'early hour, for the accommodation of electors and others who wished to be present at the nomination. At the hisfings there was a very large assembly, but not the crush usual at contested elections. Mr. M. Phillips r sof Manchester, proposed Mr. Cheetham, one, of the Liberal candidates, and Mr. C. Holland seconded the nomination. Mr. Heywood, the other Liberal candidate, was proposed by Mr. W. Brown, late M.P., and seconded by Mr. Edward Ashworth. Mr. Egerton, one of the Conservative candidates, was proposed by •Mr., Entwistle, of Rochdale, and seconded by Colonel Blackburne. The second Con servative Candidate, Mr. Legh, was proposed by Mr. W. Halton, and seconded by Mr. T. Myers, of.l.iverpool. During the speeches of these gentle men, as well as those of the candidates, strong political feeling was exhibited by the parties in opposition to each other. The nomination, however, passed off-rather quietly. We report the proceedings fully elsewhere. ,:Messrs. Egerton and Tollemache have been returned for South Cheshire, without opposition. - The Brazilian mail steamer has arrived at Lisbon with the usual monthly mails. She has on board remittances to the amount of £550,000, and specie Valued at . L 68,000. Exchange on London at Rio was quoted at 244. The price of coffee had advanced jO.O rein. - The - West India mails reached Southap ton . • yesterday morning. The steamer has brought hoa,ooo in gold and silver bars, and 50,000 dollars on merchant's account.. There was a large dethand for sugar at Jamaica,' 'which had in some degree been produced by the reported destruction of large quantities by fires in Caba • and Martinique. Froth the Pacific we have the appalling news of an earth quake at Quito, by which five thousand lives are reported to have been lost, and property to the amouni of three millions of dollars destroyed. Tile Occurrence took place on the 22nd of March, and has annihilated the place. The shock is stated to have been felt in the West India Islands. Several of the smaller towns to the south of the capital are alsoieported to have been destroyed. OUR FOREIGN POLICY WE have so often taken occasion, of late, to pro test ich these columns against a policy of intervention in foreign quarrels, that it is quite unnecessary to renew the expression of our opposition to any course, Whether on the . part of the Government or the Parliament of this country, that may have the effect Of embroiling us with neighbouring Powers. What ever objections there may be felt to Lard DERBY'S Administration upon other grounds, upon that of their foreign policy,—and especially in connection with-the case of the present outrageous interruption of the...peace of Europe,- there ought assuredly- to be none whatever in the public mind of England. That the country stands in its present independent position of dignified neutrality, is owing entirely to the _Ministry's careful adherence to the principles of non-intervention. Her Majesty's Government have not contented themselves, as former Governments have done, with making a high-sounding profession of such principles ; but they have also faithfully acted upon them. They have not refrained, it is true, from interposing as mediators—as peace-makers ; but they have - taken care to avoid committing them selves in any way either to one party or another. Their sympathies,' it has been evident, are with Sardinia, as a State that has made such noble :a4vapces, in liberal political progress, and done so much for the establishment of free political institu - M But they have taken care not to let these sympathies draw them into the vortex of war,—of a war which is one of the most wanton, and therefore ;one of the most wicked, that has ever afflicted any of the'countries Qf Europe, or of the Ivorld. the present growing prevalence of what is called Parliamentary Government in this,country, it is impossible any Ministry can be expected altogether to resist the influence of the voice, and the opinion, of the representatiyea of the people, even in its- foreign policy. Nay, there are those, we olserite, who will make' themselves heard in the new Parliament, 'at this moment actually condemn ing her Majesty's Government, for having advised a 'dissolation Eit'such a conjuncture, because dePriving the country of the benefit of the advice of Parlia.; mentin determining the course to be pursued with respet_to the present Critical state of Europe. _ : Nor is it to be supposed that such ,advice is not at all times entitled to tho utmost respect ; although the resßolisibilitY, 1 ;6 - nazi:, thing s and m `after all, 'M us t .

' • fhT , . nartioular THE NORTIitIIN TIMES, TUESDAY, MAY 3, liS§ form-of governinenitprovided by the it_AU ta - I Colu tution, are ta--be enumerated unity - of counsel, - activity, decision, s e crecy, d espatc h , an d the strength; and energy which: result from Ithesi qiialitie§ of government, and which are often of vital ithpor tance, especially in cases of emergency. They are' qualitieF, however; which - can only be relied upon in a Cabinet±- 2 noe in a 'popular 'as t senibfy:: The influ ences of such an assembly - May frequently be very wholesome in their operation upon the counsels , of a Cabinet: But as regards the executive administra tion of. the Country's affairs,—the: determination of its policy first, and then the direction of that policy, more particularly in times of dispute -and distur bance among the Powers with Whien the country has diplomatic relations,—there must be a Select body of men —a Cabinet, as it is called —to whom the administration is committed, and for_ the manner in which so great a duty is discharged they are held responsible to Parliament and the country. If the House of Commons had the direction of our foreign policy entirely to itself, —and ' some persons desire that it should, —we should eeldom,it is to be feared, be free from some foreign embioilment or another. It is all very fine to prate about non intervention ; butt -too`many Hof 'tho4, who do so the most loudly, -Would . never keep us --:nut of interferences, of one sort or another, if they had their own way. When, for instance, we saw a popular member of the late Parliament, like Mr. DuscdmnE, declaring, in his place, that the Austrians must be " expelled from the Peninsula "—that is, from their Italian possessions; and winding up a speech, full of the fiercest spirit of intervention, by proclaiming that, " for his own part, :he would have:been sorry to let the discussion cose without at all events - raising his voice in favour; of.a mUch_ more liberal policy than the Government seemed disposecr . to' pursue towards: the unhappy people of' Italy,"—the conclusion to be drawn is inevitable, .that 'this country is to take a part in - dictating forms of government to, and forCing liar ticular institutions upon, - certain of the States of Europe, _which would not fail to involve us in inter minable Continental conflicts. . - • , And it deplorable to sea a similar spirit disple/yed upon . the hustings. In .Marylebone, fur example, the Liberal candidates, whilst in words insisting upon this country's neutrality in the present European conflict, in deeds would have u.s to present u front which would be found practically opposed to any such position. " Austria," said ode of them, had too, long exercised a withering , influence 'Over Italy, and since that influence had been exercised wrongfully and in defiance of treaty , engagements, the power of public_ opinion_ in E 'gland should be cast into the scale of Sardinia." The postulate itself may, to some extent, be true; and it'is undoubtedly reasonable and right that our syavathies should be With Sardinia. But whin it is said on such an occasion, and 'with immediate reference to Parlia inent, that "the power ofpublie opinion in England Should be cast into the scale of Sardinia," what does it imply but that Parliament and the Government should take a part oa that particular. side of the dispute ? And .when it is' considered that Sardinia is now baing made a s cat's-paw of by the two autocrats of Russia and France, is it not to b 3 feared that there could:be' no such " casting into the scale," to any practical effect,.withent provoking the hostility . of Powers with whom we are in friendly and which alliance it is most d,tsirable should not be broken - up P - - It'will very much dept :1 upon' the complexion of the new . Parliament, wlether or not we arecto be enabled to keep out of this most criminal European war. So far, by the care and prudence of her Majesty's Government, we arc free from any entanglement, either ort one side or the ether. -- How lonrwe may-remain so must depend very much, we say, upon the,,character of the Hmie of Commons that is now ircproCess of election. A 3 the 8311 very truly remarks, " we may have war forced upon us ; but unquestionably her M-ajesty'sGovernment have adopted every means to avert it, without in any degree corn.prornisin; the honour or dignity of Great Britain, or reco.now ling - to other's anything of which they could justly camplaid. France, Austria, and Sardinia have all baenrin fault, and it, would be greatly to the credit of the Power that exhibited a disposition to retrace its footsteps, and to make_ the, first concession in favour of universal peace and tranquillity,"--a procedure, however, which can never be brought about through the influence of England, unless popular members of the House of Commons act in a different spirit from that which has been displayed- by, such members as those for Mar . Ylebone and Finsbury. remarked, that " the anfOuni 'of ha l ppinss afforded to this-large-number of persons - rescued from in one of its: most appallin g! forms, ari to theCtla fives and friends to whom they have been restored, can only be fully realised by themselves. The_ 'British 2 :public -in general may,- however," it adds, - " entertain a iense of the national benefit derived from the preservation of so many shipwrecked sea men ; and it especially must belt souree'of satisfac tion to ;every philanthropic indiiridual Who ha directly or indiiectly aided in the good work" Now, when one considers the prevalence -of ship : , wreeks on our, shores, arid the suffering and the sacrifice they involve, ,the urgent necessity of such humane exertions is strikingly seen. It is stated, - for instance, that the number of-shipwrecks on the coasts of the United Kingdom during _the past yeat has been nearly the same as that of the previous year, 1 ; 170 in all, but they have been differently distributed a much smaller proportion than , usual having occurred on the East' Coast of England, owing to the more general, prevalence of westerly winds.. Fortunately, they have been attended, comparatively, with little' oSs of life. The total :number of lives saved from. shipwreck- on our -coasts .during the past year, as stated in the Official Retirn of the -Board of Trade,' is up wards'of fifteen. hundred. ,But it is remarked, that ".although by-these returns - a much larger number of lives are represented as having been saved by ordinary boats, ships' boats, than by the life-boats, yet it must be borne in mind . that the majority of such services have been performed under circumstances - of little or no danger; - whereiS. the life-boats ..are, for the most part,- only called. into requisition when the sea is - via heavy and the Wind too high "-for an ordinary „boat to venture out." — The Official Return - states 'the number of lives lost during the same period is -stated by the - reports to have been : 343. "It is admitted," says the Report before us, " that thii number is - still very large, but when it -is remem-; tiered that the average loss of life fiom shipwrecks in past years, en the coasts of the Biitish Isles, has been-800, the result of the strenuous exertions which : have betn made in this humane work- , by:l the 'lnstiintion and other bodies is very gratifying, and calls for inuch tivaikfuliess,"—and -so uuduubtedly -it is. • There can be no mistake, then, about such an institution as this. Its objects are too publicly and indisputably those of real humanity and practical philanthropy, to be questioned for a moment. To 'a 'maritim6 community like ours, it makes an appeal for sympathy and support which ought to receive ,tho .most liberal and generous, response. Several Liverpool ships have been assisted, when in great distress and danger, by the Life-boats of this institu flan; during the past Year. But its funds need replenishing. - In carrying out its great .national work still more freely and more vigorously, it has had-to ineur, it seems, large liabilities, in the hope and trust- of being repaid, which, - : for _the credit of the country, and especially of its commerce' and shipping, must not be disappointed: Most feelingly and seesibly do the Committee - observe, that with so sacred an object in view as the rescue of .our fellow-; creatures from au appalling death by ship Wreck, it might be supposed that the National Life-boat InstitutiOn had claims which would come home to the heart of - every one in this great maritime country; Such, we. may_hope," they add, " will be the - ease as its operations become more generally known ; aud..thaka great advantage will be the per manent result, not .only from - popular sympathy, but from general pecuniary support," —a hope in which , -we very siticery and earnestly participate. PLILTHCITTAKE AT QUITO : Loss OF 5,000 LIVES.---On the - 2nd March an earthquake destroyed nearly the whole city o! Quito. - The damage is estimated at nearly thred million. dollars, and the deaths at five thousand. Several other small towns to the *south. of the capital have also been. destroyed. The shock was felt in the West India Islands. :5 D o cx. RATING.—Mr. Owen, one of the overseers of the pariSh of Liverpool, having "addressed the Conservative candidate for South Lancashire, on: the question of Dock Rating, received the following reply from the Hon. A. Egerton :---- Worsley, May 1, 1859, Sir,--In answer to your letter of yesterday (I have not received your previous letter), I have to say that, before pledging myself to support or oppo:e the government bill to abolish general exemp tions from local rates, I wish to hear and examine what can be said in favour of or against it. The general principle should be first settled ; and I would, therefore, oppose the introduction of any partial measure affecting Liverpool alone. The question in regard to the Liverpool docks is about to be tried in a court of law, and prior to its decision I decline to pledge myself, as the full discussion of the case will materially assist me in forming an opinion; and I shall endeavour,_in doing so, to consider the interests, not merely of Liverpool, but of the whole constituency. You have my full permission to make this letter public if you wish it.—l am yours truly, ALGERNON EGIRTON. To Thomas Owen, Esq. THE MAGISTRATES, THE MAYOR, AND THE VESTRY.—In reference to the observations made by a Magistrate, on Satur day, regarding the Mayor having allowed polling to take place in the. second court, to the exclusion of the magistrates, his Worship the Mayor said (yesterday), he received a letter on last Monday from Mr. Haggar, the secretary to the' Select Vestry, requesting the use of the court for the Tuesday following. He sent the letter to the Court, to inquire if it would be convenient that he should comply with the re quest. A messenger returned, and said it would. The Town-Clerk-then •wrote a tote, ,saylig the Cduit could be had.' - Subsequently, he was informed that a. poll had been demanded, and that the Court would be required for that purpose on Wednesday. He said he had no authority to give the CoUrt, as it was for the magistrates to do that. He complained - of the observations made by Mr. T. Rathbone, and 'thought he should have asked for some explanation before he attacked him. Mr. Thomas, the court-keeper, said he went with'Mr:',Tones to the Town hail, on Tuesday, to as certain if the Court could be given the next day for the use of the Vestry. The - "Mayor said he had no authority to give the Court-house,' as it belonged to the magistrates. He (Mr. Thomas) said he did not think it would be inconve nient, as the magistrateS sat in the next room, and they might stop there the next day. Mr. jones then said: Well, we will take the Court to-morrow, and we can go, out. if the magistrates .order us to do so. That was the whole case. , - Mr. Wybergh said, if he had been aware of the facts men-' ; tioned by Mr: Thomas, there would not have been any ob-1 servations made relative 16 the case. The subject then! dropped. • PRESERVATION-IN SHIPWRECKS Tills is a subject, the importance of which we have frequently taken occasion to expatiate upon in this place ; and the receipt of the Annual Report of an institution that has done signal service in this cause of humanity, presse3 it again upon our atten tion, and urges us to bring it once more under the notice of our readers. The Report referred to is that of the Royal Na tional Life Boatinstitution—an establishment Which certainly - prefers very strong claims to support upon a large and wealthy maritime community like.that of Liverpool; and that its claims are well —that it has a right to assert them, based as they are upon the most undoubted evidences of its great practical usefulness,—it is impossible to glance. at its Report and not be fully convinced. For . instance,—the Institution now possesses, as many ,as eighty-one Life-boat establishments, thoroughly equipped in every way, fifteen of, which have been . added during the last twelve months. Their boats are,now all constructed on the self-righting princi pld ; and we learn that " the Committee continue to -receive the most satisfactory reports of this clais of Life-boats, many of which have ren dered important services during the past year." They have been instrumental in saving, welurther learn, one hundred and ten persons during the last twelve months. " They have also been off on twenty nine occasions to the assistance of vessels showing signals of distiess, but the crews of which have eventually been enabled to remain on board them, or have been - brought ashore by their own . or other boats;, and although some of these services have been,of the most arduous and dangerous character, it will be gratifying to the contributors to the Insti tution to learn that they have been perfornied with out the loss of a single life." So much for the practical operations of the Life-boats in a single year. founded,— The whole career of its -humane and charitable workauring the thirty-fiVe yeari:of the existence of the Institution, .is one of. great and F . l oble- deeds, — great in amount, noble in:::characttr. • The total number 9f perso i n,s saved from ~shipwreW sin o it_ first establishment; and for rescuing whom: the.; Committee have granted :twnoraTia d p . e6uniqtfr reward 3 early eleven tlinustLid. — AlulAveli;4o TIIE COURT, WINDSOR CASTLE, April 30.—Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort rode out on horseback yesterday afternoon, attended by Lady Churchill, Colonel the Hon.-A.

The last years of :his advanced life, amidst infirmity and suffering, were devoted to the establishment of a fund, to which - he and his brOther, Jas. Rawdon---a .brother in all good works--- munificently contributed, for the support of an educated :ministry, and a free gospel among his poorer fellow ,Christians. Born at Halifax, April 13, 1780; Died at Elm House, October 22, 1858." The whole has been executed by Mr. Edward Stirling, from a design by Mr. :Edward 'Thornely, of this town, architect.

No special collections were made at either of-the Services, but the free offerings of the people put into" the :door plate,, according to presbyterian usage,' showed a ,v6ry liberal spirit on the part of those present. The want of a prestiyterian church has been long felt in this locality, and it is hoped the, present movement will be well supported hy the members of the body residing there, and by those who .visit New Brighton and Egrern ont during the summer season, in quest of health, and also by all parties interested in the spread of a catholic christianity.

THE MAY-DAY Puocesstoxs.---The procession of public _carts, coal drays, and the like,.took place yesterday, for the first of " Merry . May." The day was rather fine, but nothing to boast of ; it might be mistaken for a fine day 'towards the end of January. However, the procession took place. The carters mustered. strong,. and the horses were ,very much stronger, and the quantity of ribbons that adorned the tails and garnished the heads and necks of the animals would have furnished a respectable haberdashery ,slop in Whiteehapel. The taste displayed .in the decora tiensof the horses might have been shown to adyantage in some of the houses of the drivers---the latter, by the way, were well dressed, and looked like happy contented fellows. The following were remarkable in: the proCessiotr, — lind attracted great attentien. '['he carts of Messrs. BTundell and Sons, coat merchants; -Messrs. Barton, in the same trade-; Mr. -Maefie, sugar refiner ; Mr. Lupton ; "the Kirkless Hall, and many others. We have not seen a better " turn•out" for - some years than yesterday presented. There was hardly a cart of any sort, size, or description that:vas not put forward to the best advantage, and the animals decorated might..have done credit to a _Roman triumph. Everything weal off in the best manner, and may fife happy carters enjoy many returning "May days"' The employees of Messrs. Blundell were regaled, at the ',cost- of their employers, at a substantial dinner, at the rear of Mr. Morrish!s, Merchants' Dining-rooms, Tit iltebarn-street, where they were supplied by Mr. Morrish with the best of fare, superintended by Mr. R.
