THE 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, adaptt from time to time the 'various parts of its mechanisni 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 butt 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." Suck 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 Palters 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 wit 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 securectis 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 advertisenients, and use their active influence toniake 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.. , Office for subscriptions and advertisements, 13, SOUTH Joan - STREET, sorrier of Cable Street.

TOXTETH-PARK BOARD OF diJARDIANI The weekly meeting of this board was held yesterday, in the board-room of the public offices, Park-place, Mr. H. S. Al ass presiding ; and there were also present, Messrs. S. Siddeley, M. A. Johns, :A. Grindrod, J. Har .rison, G. W. Hunter, Henry Leyland, J. D. Carter, John Wilson, and John Moss. Mr. Gough, governor of the West Derby workhouse, reported that the number of paupers in that establish ment belonging to the district of Toxteth-park was, last week, 375 ; this week, 360; against 406 in the corresponding week of last year. There were sick, and in the hospital, last week, 37 ; this week, 40. A cheque was granted for the relief of out-door pau pers, to the amount of £ll5. Cominunications were read from the Poor-law Board, approving of the proceedings of the guardians in ap pointing officers.for the new workhouse. ,The proceedings of the Building and Visiting Com mittees were read and confirmed. Mr. WILSON said he had a complaint to make against Mr. Heath, the relieving-officer; because of his having neglected to relieve a man named James Townley, re siding in Bedfor&place, BedfOrd-street. He did not know whether he was right to make the complaint in the absence of Mr. Heath, who was gone to the Magistrate's' 'Conit. He then proceeded, with the consent of the board, -- to say that on Monday last, about noon, a woman, named. Townley, called at his shop, crying. She stated that she had four children, and her husband was so ill with fever that he was not ex -peetecl to live. She -applied to Mr. Heath on Satur day, and he gave her a medical note, which she took to Mr. Patterson, ' and yet, on Monday - afternoon, the case had not been attended to. He then went to Mr. Patterson's house, and learned that he was and in bed. From that he went to Eir. Drawbridge, foand that that gentleman had been looking for, him in, reference to the case. There was no food.in the house aocording to the woman's declaration. He (Mil :Wilson) ordered ss. worth of food for the family. Mi:''Heathqj had been 'at the house on Sunday, but 'had taken no . steps .to get Dr. Patterson to see the sick man or to• get any other doctor.' The woman asked him for relief on Monday, and he refused to ' give it to her, stating that she should have told hini of her need-on Saturday. The woman said he was So abusive that she would rather hunger than ask him,' and be Subjected to his abuse. These repeated charges of cruelty were very grievous. Mr. Moss 'asked what the charge 'was.: • " ; ' Mr. WILSON . answered that it was for neglectincg to give relief, and for not seeing that the patient was ' attended to. . . Mr. Huy= said they could not ,(3.0 into the case the absence of Mr. Heath. The CUArumAN Observed that, it appeared, Mr. Pat •terion was as much to blame as Mr. 'Heath, unless he was not able to attend from sickness. • Mr. Jourts thought Mr. Reath Should have taken care to see that the case' was attended to by Mr. 'Patterson, or, if not by him, at least by the first medical man he could get. On the motion of Mr. Wilson, it was 'that the board should inquire into the matter on Thurs :,clay next, and, in order to get at the facts, Mr. Patter be ba d o n application.

The weekly meeting of this committee of the Select Vestry was held in the Board-room, at the Parish Offices, Brownlow-hill, yesterday forenoon. Mr. Churchwarden Cropper presided ; and the other members present were Messrs. Scott, Critchley, Peck, Cafferata, Owen, Wil liams, E. Byford, and Smith. From the weekly returns, it appeared that the number of paupers in the house was 2,183, showing a decrease of 230, as compared with the corresponding period of last year. The number of sick was 708, including 28 fever, and 27 itch cases; and there had been 10 deaths dining the week. There had been relieved in the vagrant sheds during the week 139 men, 54 women, and 17 children, total 210, being a decrease of 24 as compared with the past week, and a decrease of 88 as compared with the corresponding week of last year. The following report was read and adeptod : ew ha s d pa underpwrt newspapers The Workhouse Committee having, in pursuance of instruc tionsoc°anfnsioththedgee2irrvBalteetihntoteuantlrtatibmhleeeaotri,lteansscilthheedieecths'i'anamJgPoeit ultimo, present the following report thereon. The allegations contained in these letters may be classified as follows : signature, nee appeared t °i u nw nr general e th , t re andee local 'togetheraad dated ed , the 30 t h 1. That referring to the quality of wheat. 2. That the handmill labour test is unsuitable and unneces sarily severe. 3. That the classification in the epileptic department is de fective. 4. That the officials of the workhouse evince a disposition to prevent thorough examination of its arrangements. 5. That imperfections exist in some of the minor arrange ments of the establishment; and Generally, that the select vestry, in the exercise of their functions, act in a much more "superficial way than is consis tent with the public good or the reasonable claims or legal rights of the poor." With reference to the first charge, it must be noticed that the writer asserts that the wheat ordinarily supplied is bad, and that one contractor supplied for three months an honest, " sweet, and good article." As it is not probable that the contractor spoken of would furnish a better article than the terms of his contract required of him, and, as the standard sample has not been lowered in quality, it• follows that wheat ,inferior to the standard sample is sytematically received into - the house. The committee have themselves examined the wheat nowin stock ; this is of good quality and equal to sample. There are now in the store 140 sacks of flour, ground in the workhonse from wheat supplied under the present contractor ; this is also sweet and wholesome. A sample taken from the bulk by the chairman of the committee, and baked by a tradesman residing out of the parish, produced sweet, wholesome bread. Bread, such as is supplied to the paupers, and which is made in great measure from flour ground in the handmills, is laid on the table at each of the meetings of the committee, and regularly tasted by one or more of the members present ; this is invari ably sweet and wholesome. Members of the board frequently visit the stores and examine the quality of the supplies, such as are found to be inferior to samples being rejected. The committee must, of course, in these matters, to a great extent depend upon their officers doing their duty ; and, although they consider it possible that articles of inferior value may occasionally find their way into the stores, they confidently record their own opinion (and they consider the facts coming under their own observation justify this confidence) that the charge of wholesale corruption now made by implication against their officers is wholly unwar ranted. The remarks as to the officers and paupers having different qualities of bread is altogether irrelevant. As well may a charge of harshness be brought against any gentleman who declines to supply his domestics' table with the delicacies to be found on his own. • From the manner in which the, handmills are spoken of it would hardly be supposed that of xpwards of 6,000 families, or 12,000 persons, who were in receipt of relief in this parish on the day in question, only twenty-one were working at the mills. These were ablebodied robust women, any one of whom had she been of good character and had evinced a disposition to fit herself for any of the ordinary occupations of life, would not have been in that position. The committee look upon this mill system simply as a labour test, the efficacy of which is apparent from the present comparative freedom of the work house from single xnincumbered women of indifferent cha racter. That it should be applied to those who may fairly be looked upon as the legitimate recipients of parochial relief, or that in rare instances individual cases of hardship may not under it, as under any other system, occur, is not asserted ; but that it has affected a vast improvement in the discipline of the.workhouse, has been of considerable economical advantage to the parish, and has not been without_fruit as a reformatory agent,. experience amply shows. The work is designedly dis tasteful to the class engaged on it ; and no other kind of labour yet brought under the notice of the committee combines in itself so many of the essential qualities of a workhouse labour test. While, therefore, the committee are prepared to sanc tion the introduction of matmaking, or any other kind of remu nerative labour for the employment of the ordinary inmates of the establislunent, they see no ground in the objections raised to recommend the discontinuance of the mill system as a test for a special class. The committee consider the complaint of a want of classifi cation in the epileptic department to have been justly cha racterised by the chairmareas " frivolous." They have them selves inspected these wards, and are unanimously of opinion that neither on physiological nor humane consideratidns is further classification necessary. The Workhouse Committee are far from wishing to throw any impediment in the way of strangers visiting the work house or gaining information as to its arrangements, and this fs - the first - occasion upon which their officers have be - en 'Charged with failing to carry out their views in this respect. It is worthy of notice, however, that the writer of these letters, on his last visit to the workhouse, entered the establishment freely, went unaccompanied by any officer to one of the wards, and did converse with the inmates without interruption; and it was not until he commenced to censure the arrangements in the hearing of the paupers that the governor requested him to confine his ;conversation with them to gaining information, and to reserve his strictures for a more fitting opportunity. In the case of most men such a restriction would have been unnecessary, and no reasonable man can fail to see its perfect propriety. Twelve ladies, otherwise unconnected with the workhouse, have free access to it at all times, and may con verse freely with its inmates ; and, although a mode of bring ing their remarks under the notice of the committee is expressly provided in the printed regulations placed in the hands of each of them, no complaint has yet reached the com mittee from them. --- - In an establishment containing accommodation for 3,500 persons, it should be no matter of surprise that some of the minor arrangements are not always in a state of perfection ; and the committee are prepared at any of their ordinary meetings to learn without astonishment. that a drinking fountain requires a ladle, that a shower bath in one of the wards is not on the most improved principle, or that the ven tilation of one of the passages is not perfect. In complaining of the want of bath accommodation, it would have been but an act of justice on the part of the writer to have said that there are in the workhouse 38 baths of the ordinary kind, supplied with hot and cold water, 14 shower baths, five hot-air baths, and two large plunge baths. But it would seems that this gentleman must complain, and a curious instance of this has come under the notice of the committee. The party were taken to a department of the house appropriated to aged, well conducted women. Three occupy one room on the gt'ound floor, and they are allowed to take their meals in it. 'Each '-room - contains an open fire; a supply of gas - is - laid - on, the window may be opened, everything is scrupulously clean and comfortable, and, above all, the occupants are happy and con tented. The writer of these letters here complained that there was no provision for ventilation. In holding up to public reprobation a committee whose whole care it is to provide a comfortable shelter for the deserving poor in their time of need, and at the same time to protect from impositieti that public whose funds they are called , upon to administer, the writer of these letters has departed from that rule of justice which he claims as his sole actuating prin . ciple. The body which be condemns contains gentlemen as anxious as himself , to relieve the poor from oppression; and - whose judgment in such matters is probably in no way inferior to his own, while their opportunities of judging in the ease of the Liverpool workhouse are infinitely greater. So long as th-e committee enjoy the benefit of the assistance and confi dence of such men, they feel little concern at the structures of a casual visitor ' and- they- regret- that -the resolution of the general board has compelled them to reply to communications which, not being addressed either to the board or to them selves, they cannot but look upon as irregular.
