Rortijern MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1856, THE DAY'S NEWS As intimated in our last publication, the approaching Municipal Elections begin to occupy attention. Our paper of to-day contains the address of Mr. Steains to the electors of Castle-street Ward. The address is brief—too much so for a gentleman who, in our opinion, is but little known to the electors of the ward. We do not think that it is commendable for one who is a comparative stranger, to gloss over his principles in terms like the following •" My opinions on political and other subjects ai e pretty well known." This might have been penned by an eagle-eyed nisi prius lawyer, but it bears upon its face little of the genu ine honesty of a Liverpool merchant. We may be perfectly well acquainted with the " political principles" of Mr. Steains, but certainly question very much if they are sufficiently well known to the influential electors of the Castle-street Ward to be thus quickly passed over. Municipal duties are, or ought to be, totally independent of the religious and political bias of the party elected, and, there fore, we cannot concur with the address in question. Let Mr. Steains tell us who and what he is—let us know what he thinks of the Gas Question—and give us his opinion as to the compromise between the Town Council and the Gas Company. Let him tell us what he thinks of that most serious question the PIKE, and say how we should get rid of a matter that promises to destroy even the wealthy corpora tion of Liverpool. The Royal Mail Steam-ship Persia arrived here on Saturday morning, bringing advices from New York to the 17th instant, inclusive. From them we learn that a letter had been published from Mr Johnston, the Know-Nothing Free-soil candidate for the Presidency, declining the nomination, and declaring his adhesion to Mr. Fremont. This letter was said to have been surreptitiously ob• tained. The Whigs were to hold a convention at Baltimore on the 17th, to nominate candidates for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency. It was supposed they would declare in favour of Mr. Fillmore. The Republicans were to hold conventions at Trenton, in New Jersey , and at Syracuse, in N ew Y or k, on th e same day. A grand demonstration in favour of Mr. Fillmore took place at New York on the 12th—about 150,000 persons were present. Advices from \ Washington inform us that Governor Geary and General Smith have been apprised by telegraph that they will be furnished with sufficient force to pre- serve order, and bring to justice nll offenders against the public peace in Kansas. The accounts from Kansas are to the sth of Sept. They state that 150 of General Lane's men attacked Tecumseh on the 4th, but that the particulars had not transpired. Judge Lecompte has issued an order to the Mar- shal of the territory to arrest General Lane, and General Smith had instructed Colonel Cook, com- manding fourteen companies at Fort Riley, to give the necessary assistance for the execution of the writs. One hundred Free State refugees arrived on the 11th at St. Louis entirely destitute. They stated that a large number of families had taken refuge at Fort Leavenworth. It is reported that a large number of Free State women and children were killed at Stranger's Creek on the ?nd instant Advices from Lima of a late date inform us that a revolt had broken out among the troops. The insurgents numbered 500 or 600 men, under General Castillo. When apprised of the revolt, the President mustered those troops which had remained loyal, to the number of 600 or 700, and proceeded to attack the insurgents, who had taken possession of the square of the Inquisition. After some skirmishing and a cavalry charge, the insur gents were compelled to retreat out of the city, and the insurrection, for the time being, at least, was suppressed. The populace were much excited during the day, but took no part in the affair. The Neapolitan question still makes no progress, and many conjectures and reports spring, as might be expected, from this pause in the proceedings People say that it looks as if the decided measures announced hung fire, and infer from this that they may not be taken, and that the matter may, after all, be in some way patched up. Now, one of two things is quite clear; the King of Naples must yield, or England and France must abandon the de mands they have so strongly urged. It is difficult to imagine an intermediate course ; equally difficult to suppose that, after all that had passed—after coming to a decision and preparing a squadron, the two great Powers will allow the thing to blow over, and the King of Naples to continue as before. It is quite incredible that such a course should be adopted, and we do not believe thatit will, or that indecision exists on the part of the French and English Cabinets. Probably, were it consistent with the reserve and secrecy necessarily imposed upon high departments of the State, the slight delay might be explained in a very easy and natural manner. But the public having got wind, perhaps rather prematurely, of the measures contemplated, is puzzled to understand why they are not immediately executed, and forges obstacles where forms perhaps are the sole im diment. The general tenor of the intelligence on the subject contained in the French and foreign papers does not encourage a hope that the King will give way, and that the final notes prepared by France and England may be dispensed with. Of the success of Baron Hubner's representations there is as yet no promise, nor does it seem to be thought probable that he will be able to arrange the difficulty. From Vienna, we learn that the Austrian Govern ment is greatly vexed that the Western Powers have resolved to send their ships to Naples. It is not that this Cabinet has any kindly feeling towards his Neapolitan Majesty, but it denies, in tote, the right of one State to interfere in the internal affairs of another. It is said, Austria has done all in her power to prevent France joining England in the expedition to the Gulf of Naples, that she is much mortified at her want of success. Austrians in office affirm that Baron Hubner had no mission to the King of Naples, but the impres sion on our mind is, that he had, as General Martini, the Austrian Minister at the Court of Naples, has for some time been absent from his post, and did not leave Vienna to return to it until very lately. It is said that some Austrian ships of war were ordered to Naples as a " squadron of observation." The latest intelligence from Constantinople asserts that Admiral Houston Stewart is to re enter the Black Sea, and that the English fleet, under the command of Lord Lyons, will receive reinforcements. Persia has proposed to refer to the arbitration of a Foreign Power its differences with England. The Porte is sending to the THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. 1 frontier of Montenegro fresh troops, munitions of war, and an artillery force of ninety heavy guns. us, they date simply from restrictive and bad money-laws, and the mercantile world will be curious to see which will produce the bitterest G Madrid advices of the 23rd state that the sequestration placed on the property of the Queen Mother is about to be taken off. This is very probable, and after what took place in the Cortes, where no categorical accusation against her Ma esty was made, it could not be otherwise. Confis cation is abolished in Spain; and when it was condemned by the respectable Governments of the Liberal and Conservative parties in the case of the Prince of Peace, it was impossible to apply it to the property of the mother of the Queen. Such measures can only be adopted in revolutionary periods, but cannot be persisted in when the laws recover their empire, and the sound sense of the people regains its rights. It is asserted that the resignation of M. Cantero will in no respect change the policy of the Cabinet, and it compares it to the retirement of Lord J. Russell from the English Ministry. From St, Petersburg we learn that the Emperor has addressed letters to the inhabitants of Jeka therinoslaw, Cherson, the Taurida, and Bessarabia, thanking them for the patriotism of which they have lately given proof. Count de BenkendorfF is appointed Russian Ambassador at Stutgardt. The Grand Chamberlain Ribeaupierre and M. Suma rakow have been raised to the rank of counts Emperor has restored to the dignity of Prince the following persons lately amnestied :—Trabetzki, Obstenzki, Wolkowski, Schtakepen Rostowski, and Royatinski. A nautical observatory has been founded at Cronstadt. A commission for maritime constructions has been appointed. One of our weekly cotemporaries has alluded to the case of Mr. Commissioner Stevenson. We have been requested to state that the learned gen tleman offered to put aside £1,300 a year to liqui date his liabilities, and not £3OO, as stated by the print in question. If the Messenger of the Bank ruptcy Court, Mr. Gaskill, was dismissed for being insolvent, so ought his superior. What is sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander. Tau Continental monetary pressure we noticed some days since, still continues to excite serious apprehensions. The rates of discount have been raised in nearly all the Continental capitals, and an advance is generally looked for in France. The Paris Bourse has already felt some convulsive shocks of panic, and these, it is believed, will lead to the adoption of further restrictions on com mercial action. Such a system is obviously monstrous ; and we fear a demonstration of its practical effects will not prove very agreeable at this critical moment. The evils to be dreaded have been confined to this country hitherto ; but now they have spread, and appear to be generally felt through out the Continent. A European panic, in fact, is imminent. Every State feels a drain, and they are resorting to the same means of removing the impending danger. The sequel of such an attempt remains to be recorded. In Eng land we shall feel it socially. In other countries its consequences may assume another and a very different character. We shall find our trade crippled, and general pursuits unusually heavy. Englishmen can reconcile themselves to such a state of things. Sophistry rushes to their aid, and endurance becomes a national virtue, which elicits the warmest and most universal applause. Continental nations are not so easily ap peased. They cannot bear the same amount of pressure from without. The bitter effects of incomprehensible causes are not re , 3koned 'among the essentials of national prosperity abroad. The monetary derangements which are going on must, consequently, produce very great anxiety in the public mind, and it .seems impossible to find a remedy for so wide-spread a disease. France has no rational plan of relief to propound ; Austria is working away on credit; Prussia is relying on restriction ; and Russia hopes to be sustained by those who cannot help themselves. Belgium and Holland are more frightened than hurt, but still their fears will make them more cautious than their neighbours and dependants may think. They will adhere to the Bullionist policy most rigidly. The precious metals will not be suffered to leave their shores without a severe struggle for their retention. A commercial panic will be preferred to a bullion famine. Spain's money difficulties will be confined to the problem—" where to get a " loan ;" and the embarrassments of Portugal will be narrowed down to the possibility of raising the year's revenue. We may here, we think, consider our picture of the monetary and financial position of the Europe of the day as complete. It requires no embellish ments, and will admit of no erasures. When a ship founders, if the whole crew fly to one boat, they must be content with their choice. There is no use in attempting to return to the sinking craft Our Continental friends are very much in the posi tion of the wrecked crew. They have all chosen one line of monetary policy. They all think with our money philosophers that, making money both dear and scarce, will carry them safely through the hurricane. We await the upshot with no ordi nary concern. The numerous political arrests recently made at Paris, will give a fresh impulse to the public thirst for hoarding, and the overthrow of the Reactionists in Spain, which is not far dis taut, will help to give intensity to the feeling of terror; and should Russia's diplomatic shuffling in the East be persisted in, public confidence in the peace of Europe will be totally demolished How far these gloomy probabilities will affect this country, it is hard to say. They cannot improve, even if they should not render our condition much worse than it otherwise would be. We can have no commercial prosperity while all around us are in a state of collapse, and all nations acting as if a season of direful events was close at I hand. The French Rentes and British Consols are acted upon simultaneously. The same incidents which cause one to fall or rise have precisely the same influence on the other, and much as we may dislike the occurrence of a panic on the Stock Exchange, it is sure to follow a break down on the Paris Bourse. We receive fresh proofs of the truth of this assertion every day, and it is high time we paid strict attention to what we see going on at the French capital, before we are swept into the vortex of Continental bewilderment. The political condition of France has led to the severity of the monetary crisis we are now suffering from. Our circulation is too contracted by law for our general wants, and we have to pay a proportionable high price for commercial accommodation ; and, although this may be a great social injustice, it has no connection what ever with the political feeling or temper of the country. Great Britain, much as she may be, and is, embarrassed herself, cannot, then, be the author of those difficulties which have overtaken the Continent, at an epoch when the wants of all ought to be readily, if not amply, supplied. The discount movements on the Continent are, in a word, the results of ill-advised political doings, while, with THE COURT BALMORAL, Sept. 25.—Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince Consort walked and drove in the neighbourhood of the castle yesterday—the inclemency of the weather preventing any distant excursion. The royal dinner party included her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, her Serene Highness the Princess Amalie of Hohenlohe Schillingfurst, Lady Augusta Bruce, the Earl of Aber deen, and Sir James Clark. BALMORAL, Sept. 26.—The heavy rain this morning prevented her Majesty, or any of the royal family, from leaving the castle. Her Grace the Duchess of Wellington has arrived, and has taken the duties of lady of the bed chamber to the Queen, in succession to the Marchioness of Ely, who leaves Balmoral on her return to the south. Her Majesty Irts again visited the falls of the Garr Valt, the Duchess of Wellington being in attendance. Prince Albert was out deer stalking yesterday. The Earl of Aberdeen took leave of her Majesty yesterday, and returned to his own seat, Haddo House, Aberdeenshire. It is expected that her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, with the Princess Amalie, will leave Abergeldie Castle about Monday or Tuesday week, on her return to her residence, Frogmore, near Winds.)r. The royal Duchess will ly) att,qpiNl by Lady Anlinta B”uce and 1 S!r George Couper. The royal dinner circle last evening was confined to the ladies and gentlemen in mmediate attendance on the court. DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL J. JONES, K.H.—Major- General Jas. Jones, K.H., a Peninsular officer, died on Monday last, at his temporary residence in Jermyn-street , St. James's, in the 75th year of his age. DEATH OF GENERAL HALKETT,—Gelleral Sir Colin Halkett, G.C.8., Governor of Chelsea Hospital, and Colonel of the 45th Regiment, died on Wednesday. By his death the colonelcy of the 45th Regiment becomes MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL, LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING. The Persia arrived here this morning, bringing tclvices from New York to the 17th inst., inclusive. The accounts respecting the Cotton Market, exer cised little or no influence upon the trade, here. The market, however, was steady to-day, and sales to the extent of 12,000 bales were repor t e d, including 5,000 for speculation and for export. Sellers had the advantage in price. The Liverpool Share Market was rather dull and depressed to-day, at the same time prices were generally supported :—Caledonian, 27k. East Lancashire, 20k. Lancashire and Yorkshire, 96, 611 7 3 London and North Western, 102 21 Midland, 761 7. South Eastern, 21, 201, 1,20 k, 1, 207 4 , 1. The weekly circular of Mr. M'Niven contains the following respecting the Money Market.:— " The Bank of France has raised its rate of discount from sto 6 per cent. The same process had been previously adopted during the week by the principal banks on the Continent ; and the motive generally ascribed to it, is to prevent the export of silver, for which Russia has become a great competitor, as well as India and China. The following are the present rates at the banks referred to : Bank of France, 6 per ce nt. ; Bank of Amsterdam, 41 per cent ; Bank of Vienna, 5 per cent. ; Bank of Prussia, 6 per cent ; Bank of England, 41 per cent. At Hamburg, the current rates are 8,1 and 9 per cent. The drain of si'ver is now arriv-d at such is pitch, that wherever f.le. double standard is mai-. ,ined on the Continent it will cave to be demoney tised, and even in India it must eventually be replaced by a gold circulation, but it is proba ble, that as the rise in the value of money upon the Continent must tend to diminish the profit upon shipments of silver to India, that silver will be sent back to the Continent agqin—at least to some extent. Few persons expected this movement so soon on the part of the Bank of France. Though it has caused a decided fall in most descriptions of English Securities, there has been nothing like a feeling of alarm ; and it is even expected in several quarters that it will tend to prevent some of the irregu larities in the phases of the Money Market, which have lately occasioned so much perplexity. At all events, it has opened the eyes of all parties to the exact nature of the financial problem of the causes and consequences of the continuous great export of silver ; and no doubt it will facilitate its solution by causing opinion to operate upon the authorities in the Continental states, which still main tain the double standard. The state of the Money Market under these circumstances engrosses attention. Numerous projected enterprises, some of which, from their useful character and freedom from merely speculative issues, would undoubtedly receive public encouragement, if capi talists and others saw their way clearly, are now either dormant, or have actually expired. There is, besides, a decided spirit of caution abroad ; and, though there is no acuity of money, the market is quite asstringent as if the reserves of the discount houses and joint stock banks ware exhausted. This state of feeling was engendered in the first instance, by the continental absorption of gold ; then it was strengthened by the disastrous fa i lure and disgraceful management of the Royal British Bank ; and now it is con firmed by the general advance in the rates of interest by the principal banks in all the leading commercial cities of Europe. These circumstances are more than enough to explain the uneasiness visible during the last three or four weeks. It is now believed that the Bank of England will advance its minimum rate of discount from 41 to 5 per cent. It was thought that this step would be taken on Thursday, but the inclination of general opinion was against it, prin cipally on the ground that the October dividends will soon release a large amoent, while the public revenue is favourable, trade sound, and money in abundance can still be found for all legitimate objects, either at or below 41 per cent. It was said, too, that if the hank were to advance to 5 per cent., they would in all probability suffer a considerable reduction in their discount business, from the competition of private establishments, just as they did before the last reduction. Such is the actual state of the market. At the same time there are political complications with Naples, Russia, and Austria, which have contributed to aggravate the symptoms we have endeavoured to describe." To-day the market for Public Securities has been rather agitated. At the commencement of business previous quotations were current, but owing to a few heavy sales a sudden decline of nearly # per cent. ensued. Later in the day there was a slight recovery, but the market was exceedingly feeble. Money on the Stock Exchange is in active demand, and high rates are charged for temporary accom modation. Consols for Money were 931 then 928 to 93, and lastly On. For the Account the prices were 93 to 93,f, then sellers at 93, and at the official close of business 931 to 931. " After hours" there was no further change. Exchequer Bills, which had hitherto ruled firm, receded 2s. to 35., being 10s. to 13s. premium. The following list shows the fluctuations in Con sols during the past week : Lowest Highest Closing Money Account Tuesday Money Account Wednesday Money Account Money Account ,Money Account Money Account Monday prices. prices. prices. shut 941 94:4 941 Thursday . Friday 931 94 931 931 Saturday In the London Share Market to-day there was an average decline of 1 per cent, although, in some instances, it has been 12, and even 2 per cent. The arrangement of the account was proceeded with, but the rates of " continuation" increased. Thus, on Lancashire and Yorkshire the charge rose from a to 1 per cent, and on some others in the same proportion. Great Western receded Brighton 11, North Western 1, South Western 2, Midland 1 to 14, North Eastern (Berwick), t to 1, and South Eastern l to 11. Foreign Shares were neglected. Rigas remained at about Ito 11 premium. Great Western of Canada were ato 1 lower. Great India Peninsular New shares were heavy. Euphrates Valley ruled at a -Z- premium. A call of 2/ lOs (making 8l paid) has been made on the shares of the Great Western of Canada Company's New Shares. The imports of specie this week were by the Ravensbourne, from Antwerp, 46 cases 13 bags of bullion ; the Sultan (s.) from the Mediterranean, 3,5001; the Niagara, from America, 497,923 dols, or 99,600/ • the Baron Osy, from Antwerp, 35 cases 5 casks of bullion, and 1,561,360 dols, by the Persia. vacant. -•,____ DEATH OF TUE DOWAGER LADY BRAYBROOKE.—We have to announce the death of the Dowager Lady Bray brooke, which took place at Audley End on Tuesday, in her 67th year, Her ladyship was the eldest daughter of the second Marquis Cornwallis, and married, in 1819, the present Lord Braybrooke• Two of her sons, Captain Neville, of the Grenadier Guards, and Mr. Grey Neville, of the sth Dragoon Guards, fell in the late war, in which no less than four grandsons of the Marquis Cornwallis gave up their lives to their country, viz., the two gallant officers just named, Captain Eliot, of the Coldstream Guards, son of the Countess of St. Germans, and Capt. Ross, of the 3rd Buffs, son of Lady Mary Ross. OUR PRINCESS ROYAL'S INTENDED.—AII anecdote touch ing Prince Frederick William and his future illustrious consort, is current at Berlin, amongst the highest circles, which reflect great credit on the perfect sense and judg ment of the former, and upon the high intellectual and sterling qualities of the latter. On returning from Eng land, Prince Frederick William is said to have been asked by the Prince, his father, what he thought of his future royal bride. "In my position, and with my future destinies," rejoined the son, "my special duty is to con sider the mind, character, and tendencies of my future consort infinitely more than all external appearances. The latter won my heart—the former my admiration and profound respect. They are such as are fully worthy of her royal Mother, and such as are best qualified to ensure my domestic happiness, and to win for my wife and me the love and esteem of the Prussian nation." THE CAT AMONG THE PlGEONS.—Singular rumours are afloat respecting the Town Council. It is said that that most abominable abortion—the Rivington Pike scheme—has resulted in a manner that will cause not only annoyance, but indignation—loud; and universal—when, as "Othello" says, "A plain unvarnished tale is delivered." In connection with this matter, it is said that our excellent and very efficient town-clerk is so much mixed up with the affair that his resignation is not only probable but certain. We should regret the loss of so valuable an official. His talents have not only been taxed, but proved, upon occasions of vast importance to this great commu. nity. In each and all he has shown that he is a gentle man of first.rate ability, sterling worth as a public officer, and one whose equal it would be;difficult to find. Never theless that "horrid scheme,"vcelpt the "PIKE," appears to have caused a separation between Mr. Shuttleworth and the people of Liverpool. And if all we hear should prove correct the day of reckoning must be close at hand, and vengeance will, no doubt, be exacted from those who have plunged ;us into a fearful, an unnecessary, and an unreasonable expenditure of our corporate resources. Mr. Holt, if we mistake not, has done well to retire in time, and others who have advocated and voted for the policy adopted by our water committee, would " act the better part" if they retired into that obscurity which becomes the imprudent and the improvident.

On the health of Mr. M'Millan, jun., being drunk, he rose and returned a neat and appropriate reply, conveyed in poetry of sterling merit. The evening was spent in the utmost harmony, and all separated with an earnest aspiration that the career of the young gentleman would be as honourable and prosperous as that of his much and deservedly respected father. WOMAN FLOGGING.—The discussion between the Poor Law Board and the Marylebone Guardians, arising out of the woman flogging in the workhouse, still continues. The Board write, saying that they " regret to observe that the directors and guardians decline to accede to the request made by their board, that the master of the workhouse should be called upon to resign his office. It appears to the board that the directors and guardians would probably prefer to reconsider their resolution, and of themselves to terminate their engagement with the present master of the workhouse, rather than that the board, having recourse to the statutory power conferred upon them, should call upon that officer to resign his situatio n. Unless, howeve directors and guardians are p re p ared to take the for mer the course, I am directed to inform you that the board, havi ng decided that the master is unfit to fill his office, will have no other alternative than to adopt the latter." I n rep l y )a u l p ly on as to this intimation the guardians passed the fol lowing resolution That the Board o f G uar di ans of St. decline M a furtherryl ebo 0 n e t , consider,haying already more decided especially Law Board, in their communication of the 11th inst state of the office rs that no more change '' of the house will e nable the directors and gu ar di ans successfully to cope w i t h I the evils which exist.'" progress, of which the first year of the new peace gives so fair a promise. There has not been so much excitement in the Mining Share Market during the last week, 12 ° r . have prices ; generally speaking, been maintai ned at last week's quotations. Towards the latter part of the week, however, there was more activity_ observable, and Great Alfred shares, which h ad dropped from 14 to 9, owing to the number c)1 sellers in the market anxious to realise their profits, became firmer, and rose to 01, 10, at wh ich price they left off. Alfred Consols have been much more in demand, and prices firm, at 15! to 1 6 i; West Basset, 30 to 31 ; in Grenville, very large` transactions have taken place, at 21 to 21-, leaving off very firm ; East Trefusis in demand, at 3 Porkellis, 101 to 11 ; Rosewarne has been enquired after, at 65 to 70, and few sellers to be found ; North Frances, 10 to 101 ; West Frances, 171 to 20 ; this mine is improving going west. 0 ", Monday next, the Mining Exchange will be remo ve " to the new offices taken near the Stock Exchange; New members have in consequence joined, and more are expected to follow. The present state of the silver question, and th e excitement and alarm it is producing on the Conti" nent, have caused attention again to be directed t O the bearing of the monetary laws of India. up to 1825 gold was a legal tender in that country, but measure was then passed for an exclusively silv er standard. After that, when gold became more` valuable, it was allowed to be received in payrnem e to the Government although the law remained t he same. When, however, the gold of Australia Wit s discovered, and the precious metal therefore be came cheaper, it was necessary for India either to return to her exclusive silver standard, or to mak e gold the only standard, for otherwise the gever ri c i anent would have been obliged to pay in silver a n d receive in gold. She took the former course, a" f returned to the standard of silver. The effect ° f ° this measure has been greatly to c h ec k the raPi,`, opening trade between India and Aust ra lia, ann. as in return for the large balance of her exports over her imports, India will receive only silver, she 11197 thus, perhaps, in the course of years, drain EuroP6 of that metal, unless preventive measures are' adopted. To England the point is not one of vi tae e importance. France and the other countries e' Europe are chiefly concerned, and the question how long they will persevere in the palliatives ° raising rates of discount, or of buying specie at loss, before recognising the measure to which th e n must come at last, and which was wisely adopt e by the United States at almost the outset of til e movement.
