A free press cannot but disseminate, more or less, the . principles of freedom ; and these are principles most decidedly, antagonistic to. Louis Napoleon's whole governmental system. It is not to be expected that the death of the Emperor of Morocco. will have any particular effect, either in Africa or in Europe. The announcement of his Majesty's demise was accompanied by an assurance that tranquility prevailed at Tangiers, his successor. having been pro claimed as a matter of course. The governMent of that African Empire beinz a pure despotism, one may take it for granted that " the powers that be" have it all their own way. . . „ It is satisfactory to find, as we do by our latest Con- tinental intelligence, that it is denied in the political circles of Paris that her Majesty's Government has made any proposition respecting a Congress on the Italian question._ There is no doubt, apparently, that such.a Congress must be convened ; but the less our own Government has to do with it, we cannot but think, the better,—at least in taking the initiative, whatever it may :become a great public duty to do in its after-pro ceedings. OUr foreign affairs are not, unfortunately, in such hands at present as to Make, it at all desirable that the principle of non-intervention should be in. anywise unnecessarily violated. • The London "strike," about which we have heard so much, is likely to be,brought to a close with the present week,—or if not to a close, at least to become a somewhat insignificant affair. The Maker Builders are quite resolved to open their establishments on Monday, and have for some days back been_making active-prepara tions for the renewal of work. The agitators continue their vocation notwithstanding ; and their great object now seems to be, to get it believed that the masters will not obtain anything like an adequate supply to carry on even the most trifling concerns, unless, after ,all, they succumb to the "movement." It 'is to be hoped, for the interests of the workmen themselves, that it will turn 3ut very differently,—that they and their masters will make it up, and be better friends for the future than ever. VISIT OF THE CHANCELLOR OF THE. EXCHEQUER: THE NEW POST.-OFFICE.—At four o'clock yesterday afternoon, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exchequer, by appointment met a deputation of the Town 'Council, and other bodies, interested in the subject of the new Post-office, proposed to be erected in connection with the Public Offices in Dale-street. The meeting took place at the office of Mr. Robertson- Glad stone, brother to the right hon. gentleman, in Unirin court. The deputation consisted of Wm. Preston, Esq., -(Mayor), the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, (Charles Robertson, Esq.,) the Town-clerk, the Borough Engineer, and several members of the Health Com mittee. In company with the members of the deputa tion, the Chancellor of the Exchequer proceeded to the spot on which it is proposed to erect the building, and they inspected the intended site of the new Post-offiee. The party then adjourned to the Town-hall, where some discussion took place relative to the nature of the accommodation, and other matters connected with the proposed change in the locality of the Post-office. We understand that the difficulties of the question between the C )iporation and the Government are chiefly, if not altogether, of a financial character. During his stay in this neighbourhood, the right- hon. gentleman will be the guest of his brother, Mr. Robertson Gladstone, at Court Hey, Broad-green, near Liverpool. • THE LATEST NEWS.

DEATH FROM A BLOW ON THE STOMACH.—A man named James Elliott, a baker, had a quarrel with a woman named Mary Brown, in Juvenile-street, on Monday last, when she picked up a piece of wood and threw it at him, striking him on the stomach. The man was so seriously injured that he died yesterday. Deceased was about twenty-two years of age. The woman has been taken into custody, and the affair may assume a serious aspect. DISCOVERY OF THE BODY OF A STILL-BORN CHILD. About a quarter-past two o'clock, on Wednesday after noon, Police-officer Thomas Naylor found the dead body of a child, on the shore near the Potteries, about twelve yards from the high-water mark. From a post-mortem examination it appeared that the child was still-born. An inquest was held yesterday, and a verdict returned in accordance with the facts: pimples, and discolourations of skin, which arise from impure blood, ill-regulated secretions, or some hereditary taint, often defy science, but ban never long resist the action of Holloway's Pills.and Ointment. Ladies accustomed to apply astringent lotions to eruptions on the face, breast, and arms, should be warned that no practice is more .dangerous. They throw the disease inward, and put life itself at stake. The only really safe and effective cosmetic ever vet prepared is Holloway's Ointment, which, assisted by his Pills, will subdue the most obstinate cases of skin disease. 13 TELE CASE OF DR. SMETRURST.—DI addition to the vast con course of visitors who generally resort to Mr. William Allsop's magnificent exhibition of wax-work, sculpture galleries, musical promenade, &c., Teutonic Hall, Lime-street, Liver '"• ' ' pool, the numbers have been greatly augmented this week by . the introduction of Dr. Smethurst to his already world 'renowned establishment. The figure is a full-length one, in wax, and is positively a perfect and faihtful likeness, modelled by that renowned artist D. Bruccian, of London, from careful drawings taken during his trial, and is certainly the only model taken. So great has been the excitement caused by the case of Dr. Smethurst, that upwards of 5,000 persons have paid a visit to this very gorgeous and interesting exhibition in three days. Open from ten a.m. to ten p.m. Admission Gd. MEN LOST OVERBOARD. - Five men were washed overboard from H.M.S. Gorgon during a gale she encountered last week while proceeding to the American, station.. Two of them were recovered with great diffi culty, the remaining three perished. The ship put into Plymouth to repair several damages which she . suffered on the occasion. • CURRANT VINE TREES IN FRUIT.—We were yester day favoured with the inspection of some currant vine trees in fr.ll bearing, at the sale rooms of Messrs. W. & G. Bolderston, Temple-court, which arrived 'in Liver pool, from Patras, by the screw steamer Despatch, with their first cargo of new currants. We can assure our readers that it is a very interesting sight to see the fruit growing upon these trees previous to its being dried and packed, and well worthy of inspection, being an article of every day consumption, from which so lar g e a revenue is derived in tin shape of import duties. We believe we are correct in stating that these are the first currant vines ever brought to England in full bearing. BANKRUPTCY COURT, YESTERDA.T. — Before Mr. Commissioner Perry.— T ße John Menetry.—This bank rupt, late of Duke-street, in this' town, fancy . soap ma nufacturer, applied in September last for the allowance of his certificate, when it appeared that his estate did not realise the required ,sum named by the Act, an adjourn ment took place to this day, to enable the bankrupt to pay into court the amount deficient. Mr. Yates, who appeared for the assignees, observed that this was a case which ought to be adjourned sine die, seeing that the bankrupt has got possession of two-thirds of the estate, by the allowances made to him by the Court. The bankrupt not appearing, his Honour adjourned the case sine die accordingly.—Re J. W. Jones.—This bankrupt, who lately carried on business in this town, applied to pass his last examination. Mr. Wynne, who appeared for the bankrupt, asked permission to have the balance sheet, which contained erroneous entries, ameiided. The Court having granted the request, the bankrupt was allowed to pass. Certificate appointed for 7th October. Mr. John Radcliffe appeared for the assignees. _ _ '" THE COAST DEFENCES.—On Thursday, the three-gun 'battery, to sweep the entrance of Weymouth harbour, was completed . ; the Royal Engineers have commenced erecting a fifty-gun battery, which, when complete, will be mounted with Armstrong's long-range guns. The works for the protection of this part of the coast are - A MAD BULL AT 'THE AGRICULTURAL SHOW.—At the Agricultural Show on Thursday, a half-bred Brahman bull, taking fright, became wild and unmanagable from the shaking of the canvass. He stuck one of his horns into the ground, and broke it off close to the skull. Great alarm was created lest the animal would break away from his pens, and kill or injure' some of the persons who crowded the grounds. After placing the parties visiting the show in a state of considerable terror, and rushing recklessly amongst the horses and other stock then being exhibited ; the animal was secured; and yesterday afternoon (it having been discovered that the animal was mad) Mr. Allport, who had been sent for, arrived with one of Teny's patent rifles. The animal was then placed on a platform, and, at a moment's notice, a bullet had penetrated the head of the beast, passing through its body and. entering the ground, and the bleedinm 6 animal dropped dead. Praise is due to Mr. .Allportfor the dexterity with which he acted in the face of danger. But this gentleman attributed the credit of the achievement to the excellent instrument (the breech-loading rifle) with which he was armed, and stated that he could fire ten shots a minute from this improved rifle, which is on the same principle as that now being supplied to the cavalry, instead of the old clumsy carrabine. The beast, which had been a very noble animal, took the first prize. It belonged to the Earl of Derby, and was purchased at the show for Mr. Gibbins of Whitechapel. COURT AND OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE At Balmoral, on Wednesday, her Majesty and the Princess Alice accompanied the Prince Consort out shooting. The royal dinner party included the Princess Alice, Sir George Grey, and Dr. Robertson. rogressing rapidly. FATAL SHlPWREClL—lntelligence has been received at Lloyd's, under date Tampico, July 25, of the total loss of the ship Robert, of London, 'Gibson master, on the bar of Tuspan, during a fearful hurricane. Five of the crew perished—namely, Lewis Jones, Henry. Dis more, W. Brett, S. Lucas, and J. Lawn. Capt. Gibson and eight others were saved, but lost everything, and cached Tampico in an utter state of destitution. • ALARMING ACCIDFNT AT BIRMINGHAM.—FALL OF A DANCING PAVILION.—On Tuesday, an accident of a most alarming nature occurred in Birmingham, by which five persons were seriously injured ; and it is all but miraculous that these injuries were not fatal. At the Bowling-green Inn, at Hollyhead, in that town, there is a dancing pavilion of considerable proportions, against one side of which a new building is being erected. On Tuesday, about two tons weight of this new building fell upon the pavilion, forcing it in an ob lique direction, from its elevated position, on to the lawn, where were two servants and three children of Mr. Filter, the proprietor of the inn. These were all buried beneath the debris. The two servants were the most injured, and they were conveyed to the General Hospital, where they yet remain, but it is not expected that their injuries willprove fatal, MURDEROUS ASSAAJLT UPON A WIFE.--On Tuesday; Abraham Binney, a toolmaker, living in Garden-street, Sheffield, committed a most serious and brutal assault on his wife, which will, in all probability, prove fatal. The' injured woman states that she and her husband had been quarrelling almost constantly for about a week ; and on the previous morning they had a quarrel, during which, she says, she took up the poker, but did not strike him. He, however, seized the scissor-hammer, and struck her twice upon the head with it. She fell down in a state of insensibility, and remained on the floor until some neighbours went to her assistance. The man appears to have thought that he had killed his wife, and went immediately to the Town-hall, where he sur rendered himself. During the day the deposition of the unfortunate woman was taken at her house, before Mr. S. Butcher, one of the Sheffield magistrates. She was afterwards removed to the infirmary, but there seems to be very little hope of her recovery. REWARDS FOR SAVING LIFE AT SEA.—The French government has recently made the following awards : A silver medal of the first class to Daniel Shea, cap tain of the life-boat Royal Albert ; and silvzr medals of- the second-class to Samuel French, William Hill, Henry Knight, James Jabb, William Dyer, William Henwood, and William Harding, who volunteered to man the life-boat, for services rendered to the French merchant ship Le Gonzalve, wrecked en the Bth of March last on the coast of Padstow, A gold medal of the second class to Captain James R. Pali., of the Lord Warden packet, for saving the crew of a French fishing boat in distress, on the 14th March last. A gold medal of the second class to Captain Linnex, of the Bella Vista, of Sydney, in acknowledgment of services rendered by him to the crew of the French ship Pauline et Victoire, wrecked in the Torres Strait. The Board of Trade has recently awarded the following rewards :—To Anthony O'Flaherty, chief boatman of the Banta Coastguard station, £4, and to Stephen Mahoney, Jeremiah Morphy, Neil O'Donnell, and Henry Colvin, crew of the Coast guard boat, £2 each, for saving the crew (six in number) of the schooner Enterprise, of Dublin, wecked, on Ist of August last, on the Black Rock in Galway Bay. RAILWAY LAW.—The Case of " Makinson v. the Caledonian Railway Company," which involves a ques tion of some importance to railway travellers, has just been decided by the Carlisle County Court. The plain tiff, a solicitor, of Manchester, and three friends, at the termination of a Highland tour, were returning home, and booked third class from Glasgow. to Man chester by the 8.12 p.m. mail train. There beino' no carriages marked third class in the train, they got into a second class carriage, and the guard, after Inspecting their tickets at Glasgow, before the departure of the train, exclaimed, " all right," and locked the door. On arriving at Carlisle, the guard there said, "You have been travelling second class with third class tickets, and you'll have to pay Bs. 9d., the difference of second and third class fares between Glasgow and Carlisle." They replied that they should not do so, as there was no carriage marked third class in the train ; and, moreover, if they were wrong the Glasgow guard should have put them right. He then asked to look at the number of their tickets, and, under this pretence, he snatched them from them, and said they should neither have their tickets again nor go on by that train unless they paid the Bs. 9d. This they refused to do, but went to an hotel in Carlisle, stayed over night, and took a fresh ticket to Manchester on the following day, after first issuing a summons in the Carlisle county court aulynt the company for damages.

We have intelligence of the death of Lord James Stuart, M.P. This event, which necessitates a new election for the county of Ayr, occurred at Dumfreis House, about half-past eleven o'clock on the night of Tuesday. The sudden event was the more unexpected, as the deceased was present at Ayr races last week, and in good health. lie was 65 years of age. SHIP ON Finn. —The Ardre Celeste, from Martinique to Havre, with sugar, coffee, cocoa, molasses, &c., took fire at sea on the 7th of August, and was abandoned. The crew were saved. THE QUEEN AND ETIQUETTE.—When her Majesty was leaving Edinburgh for the north, says. the Glasgow Herald, she entered the Royal railway carriage in pre sence of, the Duke of Buccleugh and a very small circle of spectators. rier Majesty immediately commenced to arrange the interior, and forthwith she re-appeared at the carriage door, and with her own Royal hands held out a heavy chair, which she intimated was one too many.

It is a cruel anomaly to strain the conscience of any man, and calls loudly - for, an alteration and assi milation with the jury law of Scotland.

Acquiescing as all must with your remarks on, and approbation of, the Scotch negative verdict of " not proven," and hoping to see that also embodied in any change of our present jury law,—l am, sir, yours faith fully, Sreston, Btb Sept., 1859. BROOKVALE. STREET VENDOR NUISANCE TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES ISlit, —Please to allow me, through the medium of your journal, to return my sincere thanks to our worthy head constable, Major Greig, for the able manner in which he has taken up this matter. About fourteen days ago I sent a letter to him, complaining of the above nuisance in the neighbourhood of the TithebarnOreet railway station. He immediately sent one of the in, spectors there to see if it was so, and he found 4to bQ much worse than described , He ordered them to move ea. The whole of them did so with oue exception . ._.t r out yowl woman, a native of ErinErin'swhich was a - - move on when asked to do selling nuts, who refuse.. ,,, so by the inspector, for which he summoned her ; and the case was heard on Wednesday, when some respect able shopkeepers from Tithebarn-street and Moorfields came forward, and proved that their neighbourhood•was infested with vendors of almost all sorts of merchandise, and that they were a great nuisance in that locality, by obstructing the footpaths and sides of the streets by offering their goods for sale, annoying passer-by follow.. inc , them and presenting their goods in a Tipperary style, viz., shoving the article into a person's face, which was very annoying and mortifying to the public, more especially to those of them arriving per train at that station from the inland towns, commonly termed excur sionists' or cheep trippers; in addition to which, they showed that those complained of were very injurious to shops in that neighbourhood, as some low blackguards often stand right before the doors of shops, offering their goods for sale to the shopkeepers' customers as well as strangers, and those of the same description as was sold inside, which they could well afford to do at a lower figure than the shopkeeper who has high rent, taxes, &c., to pay, whereas they have neither, barring about 9d. or ls. per week for lodgings. Mr. Mullin, the inspector, then, in a very able speech, described the nuisance, corroborating every particular detailed by the previous witnesses, and proved the case against the young woman, who was fined 2s. 6d. I feel thankful to the magistrate for his decision, as well as to the inspector for his trouble. I had intended to memo rialise the authorities, praying they would put a stop to the nuisance ; but now, I have reason to believe that the police will be able to keep them clear, being supported. by the magistrates. In conclusion, sir, I beg to thank you for so large a space in your valuable and widely circulated journal.—l remain your obedient servant, Y. D.
