'II URSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1853 Rol the latest intelligence received up to the dour of our going to press, we find that a telegraphic die -44 01 from Constantinople, dated 25th -led Paris on Tuesday, to the effect that the I ) 0, an, after having deliberated on the counsel ` %.°11 by the four Powers respecting the adoption of the v4enna note, had come to the determination I ' l°l Turkey would persist in her refusal. There 'W" 40 allusion 'made therein to the rumoured etitr. -lice of the combined fleets into the Darda .

"Hostilities have actually 'commenced " is, however, an assertion which can- Zot be made in any case where the remotest wel fare of this country is at stake, without doing grievous national injury, and incalculable mischief to individual interests. In urging our government to take immediate 7:ZI - ku relieve the public anxiety, we have shown lis .

The MANCHESTER CHAMBER ',.., ° "ERCE states, in a Parliamentary report of 311 ' o ne date, that the Manchester traders lost on. ~;e °ccasion £40,000,000 by a sudden contraction ti le currency, and if we estimate the injury done t he e°ll nercial circles in the present instance on s , data, we may fairly state our loss to be ; 40 ,000,000 b y t hi s sys t em o f " h os tiliti es ac t ua ll y °lllinenced." e only reecho the unanimous voice of the . i ts(' Kingdom, when we treat with contempt the t i': eil aces of the AUT O CRAT, and demand an imme 14te and definite issue on the question before the . a . °un try If a parley with the perfidious Rnssian,hrch . has been kept up for upwards of three o °ll ths, could be prolonged without e n dange r i n g of r realised wealth, or interfering with the progress ti ° lir daily pursuits, we should feel no small sa :faction to find that Lord ABERDEEN had fallen 4 '° hands w h ere hi s so ft sympa thi es wo uld b e so t i i ta ciously a ppreciated, and that Lord CLARENDON (1 ' s tumbled on such a profound school of diplo- Ifte Y en which he could employ his " prentice hand" su ch advantage. 13114 When we come to reflect quietly on the dan ,,er 11 , 6 and wickedness of trifling with a country "" Prosperity has grown up with peace, and is 11,7 4 (1 On, and must progress with peace, we can -141]..'114 language sufficiently strong to express our ti, l guatio n at the folly and danger of procrastina- T, 1 111 ,' b 37 which the public have been panic stricken , 110 last th ree mon th s . th e \ ‘ ' al* is a great scourge—a terrible calamity, and a ila illister that remains sullenly silent on such thelibriject is highly culpable.

The 'Liverpool Money Market Opened in ,a state bordering on collapse, but raiied considerably when it became known. thtit the runi.ouit of:yes terdsT ti.s to the position of ninths in the East were not 'confirmed. Still the tone of busineSs bespoke great Micoiness. Matters must' soon, however, tate some decisive turn. Ilnt, in the mean time, we cannot understand why those who .have invested money - in 'Goverhinent Stocks or Shares for income, should become sellers, under the present circum stances of the country. If war should grow out of ministerial procrastination, 4 161'8 is no room for supposing that it wbiild be prolOnged . for such length 'of tine, as would be likely to endanger the Dunctual payment of the dividends on the public debt. Such •an event cannot by :any possi bility occur. Where, then, is the cause for sacri ficing Government Stocks it§ they haVe been sa crificed within the 141 thWe Months ? Again, with i*fd to railway, banking, and other shares-,- whith rely on the internal resources of the country for dividends, who can doubt their sta bility? War would, if anything, increase '6O rail way traffic. This no w ateotth to upwards of 12,000,000/. annually, Mid laSbeCoine one of the most jowerful Weis our banks hive in their han.ds, to aid the trade and manufactures of the country And if we look to foreign countries, where we haire the largest stakes.—The•United'StAtt'S, Austrdlia, and South America Can it be thought that our trade with thee neutral and distant states can be anni hilated? On the contrary,- we think that, war would, most likely; give a fresh, impetus to trade in those quarters. The prices in this market are so variable, that we can only refer otir readers to the ordinary quotations, Which we give in ano ther column, Mao are how about 53 vessels entered out for loading at Liverpool for the Australian colonies, of an aggregate of about 33,000' ton, advertised to sail in the - eourse of the present month. It is, however, probable that the destination of many of those, and some of the 116 laid on in London, will be changed, since the receipt of the information that the AustraliaU markets are glutted, for the present, with goods of all kinds. . We have scarcely any addition to our intelligence from the East to-day. Thd semi-official Oester reiehische Oorrespondeitz of the lstinforms us, that not only the. result of the Olmutz conference was favourable to peace, but that a new proposal of accommodation had been despatched for the Porte's acceptance. It appears that the Paris Bourse was, like our own Stock Exchanges, violently • agitated.

"We cannot. yet enter into the details of the conference at Olinut, Our : inforination: not being , sufficiently,: com B plete. ut a. greatresult tills been obtditied. The conference of Vienna; is re-established between the four . powers.

The _PY6,4e alftideS io the last decrees in the Moniteur as follows The continuous rise in the price of corn has induced the Government to pro long from December to July, 1854, the temporary suppression of the duties on the importation of grain. This, prolongation Will alla`W speculators, to make iiiiportant purchases in foreign countries The decree prohibiting the exportation of pota toes and dried vegetables until July, 1854, ; will produce a lively sensation in England, as during the last month there has been a continual and whdlesale exportation of potatoes from the princi pal ports in the channel." But what is alSo Probable, is, that events will march faster than the Vienna negotiations, and that we shall:be startled some fine morning by the news of an explosion on the banks of the Danube: The most sanguine optimists can,hardly anticipate that the enormous Turkish army will disband itself quietly without attempting something. The Belgian journals state, that a further rise will take place in the price of coal at the pit's mouth in Belgium, on the 20th. The demand for all kinds of coal is: greater this year than it has ever been: A telegraphic despatch from Berlin, dated Sun day, says :—" The King started_ for Warsaw : this morning, at hait-past five." A Vienna letter states that the merchants in that capital .are doing all in their power to induce the Austrian government to persevere in its efforts to prevent war. The first trial of the rail Way Over Mount Sam= thering was made on the 24th. A locomotive went nearly an .English mile in five ,minutes.

Was a most important - matterthat he Wished to bring bef ,, re the board, in connexion with the deputation which had been appointed from that board, to wait upon the Health COmmittee of Liverpool; but; before doing so; he would ask the Chairman if the hOspital was in a sufficiently complete state to receive patients, provided the cholera 'should break out amongst us ? The • CHAIRMAN : • I believe not at present, but it will be shortly. The Rev. W. BADNALL : He hoped it would not .be long before the hospital would be ready to receive patients. He felt - Very anxious that something should at once be done 'to meet the contingency. The fittmgs of this hospital had been very expensive, and if the rate-payers should find, in the event of the cholera breaking out, that there was not accommodation for the cholera patients, the board would incur a heavy and a fearful responsibility. He hoped it might please providence to avert this .dreadful scourge from visiting us; but still they ought to be in a state of preparation. He strongly urged, that the hospital should at once be got ready; in case of an event, which they must all deeply deplore. Hitherto, they had not taken any active part in connexion with :the -Liverpool -Board of Health, because, thein Committeeunion. of H ha e pp n i o ly w' cnaome case to the of c d h e o p l u er t a ati h o a n d to ye th t e oc H cu e r a r l e th d Liverpool, which that board appointed at its meeting last week. With respect to their relative position to the Health Committee of Livorpool, it was absolutely necessary, that there should be no mistake in the minds of any one at the board. It should be understood, that in administering medical relief, the Liverpool authorities and themselves, were - distinct; Whatever medical relief might be required in the union, neither the medical ;relief Committee of Liverpool, nor • the health Committee of Liverpool, had anything to du with it. Again, the health .Committee of Liverpool had nothing to do with the West Derby union districts except in one important point, which showed the great desirability of their co-operating with that body. The objeet of the health Committee of Liverpool was to prevent disease by the removal of nuisances, whilst the object of that-Board was to cure dise'ase--to instruct their Medical Officers .to , meet cases when they did arise. Now, he thought it .was highly necessary that their medical officers should make daily returns to the medical officer of health in Liverpool, in order that that gentleman might be 'put in possession of every particular as -to the state of the . health of the town, so that when any special case arose he • might- be in a position to direct his attention_ to any par ticular locality. affected. That was the reason why their Medical officers should give daily returns to Dr. Duncan of all cases of diarrhoea or cholera that might arise. He should also say that • their relieving officers should report • any, nuisances which they might see.. These nuisances .Should he taken notice of,, and laid before this Board, so that when they 'went down to meet the. Health Committee of Liverpool, representations of such nuisances might be laid before the Committee ; and he had the authority of the :Mayor for saying that-such was now the staff placed under •Mr; Fresh, the'lnspector of Nuisances, he was in a position at on te' remove such nuisances. (Hear, hear.) If this ar rangement was not carried out, the probability was that many nuisances within the union would not 'be removed. With that view he would move the resolution he:had drawn up. 4e.wqs exceedingly alxious that such a resolution should bo put.upon their books, in order that the Health . Committee of Liverpool might be perfectly satisfied than they were . quite willing to co-operate with them. (Hear, hear). He thought they had had warninf , enough, and ifthey - '6ould arrest the progress of this formidable disease in the event of its appear ing-amongst them, they would not only be doing their duty to that large population which was placed under their care as the guardians of the poor, but, they would also be con ferring a benefit on every class in the 'community. They knew well that if the cholera might bfeak: but among the poor, it might also reach the higher classes, and 'therefore, when they were taking care of the poor, they were , at . the same time taking care of themselves: He concluded by proposing the following resolution That this Board, from an anxious wish to co-operate with the- authorities in Liverpool, in devising and adopting measures for arresting the progress of Asiatic cholera, do hereby request the medi cal officerS of such parts of this union as are situated within :the municipal borough of Liverpool, to make a daily return of all cases of diharrhm or cholera, to the medical officer of health for Liverpool, at the public offi.cei. in Cornwallis-street. And further, that the relieving officers do report weekly to this board, any nuisances which- they may consider injurious to public health; in their several *districts within this borough, or on the filthy condition of any lodging house, cottage, or cellars, of which, they may have knowledge within the same."—Mr. ROSKELL' seconded the motion.— The CLERK suggested that the terms of the resolution should not - be confined to the borough. If there was a nuisance at Kirby, why should it not be reported by their officers as well as one in Toxteth Park ? Mr. BADEALL :My motion is necessarily confined to the municipal borough, 'because the . health committee have not jurisdiction beyond it. After some little discussion the resolution was carried unanimously. THE MANURE DEPOSIT IN SEFTON STREET The CHAIRMAN followed up Mr. BaanalVs resolution by bring . ing before the Board thB subject of the Manure Depo sits in Sefton-street, Toxteth-park. He complained that notwithstanding the remonstrances which had been made, Mr. Rose still continued to deposit the night, soil he removed into Setton-street. The subject had been a source of much annoyance to that board for infiny some time ago - Mr. - Cleaver wrote • to ..Mr. Rose, .giving. him notice that if the . nuisance*as . not removed, proceedings would be taken against him by that Board, but still the nuisance was con tinued. The. other day, whilst he . was with the Deputy Town Clerk, in Cornwallis-street, Mr. Rose came into the room, and on that occasion he stated to him (the Chairman) that no more •manure would be deposited there but cinders, and that what was already there would •be removed. Now, in spite of this promise, Mr. Rose was actually depositing manure there at the resent time, and Ire therefore thought that the time had arrived when proceedifigg should be taken against Mr. Rose to compel him to remove it. With this view he moved that Mr. Cleaver take such legal steps against Mr. Rose as the circumstances of the case demanded. —Mr. WENSLEY seconded the motion, which was carried without a dissentient voice. After some fUrther routine business the Board adjourned. SCOTCH INFLICTIONS.—" Winter," say the . papers, " has already set in with severity in Scotland."

Happily, it was not loaded with. shot, although the force of the powder has destroyed the sight of one eye, if not both. -Major-general Sir J.

The magistrate said that re spectable peoplp must be protected from such ruffians. It was hard enough to have people billetted in decent houses, without the occurrence of such conduct, He therefore fined the prisoner 405., and in default to be imprisated for one month. • AN AMATEUR DETECTIVE.---A Scotchman who was sworn after the usages of the Scotch covenant said that, on Thurs day, he was going cloWii.

The captain was represented by Mr. Campbell, solicitor; whilst Mr. Chilton appeared for the claimants. Mr. Campbell said that he believed the prelimi nary question was whether the magistrates had or had not jurisdiction, and he believed he could chew that they had not. Accordingly the captain was sworn and examined by an interpreter, when he said that the vessel belonged to the principality of Wallachia, now occupied by Russian troops, and the owner resides in Constantinople, and is a subject of Wallachia. The magistrate said that this settled the mat= ter, as, in order to give the court jurisdiction, the vessel should be a British one. This matter was, however, ad journed, on the moVement of Mr. 'Chilton, to have the ship's certificate produced.: FURIOUS DRIVING.—ThOMaS Jackson was fined ss, for furiously driving a spring cart through the streets: Thomas Rowe, fined 5s and costs, for driving a car in Pork-Toad at the rate of 12 miles an hour.

A PRINTER IN DIFFicuLTIEs.-Alexauder Campbell, a printer, was placed in the .dock, charged by Mr. Hilton, a gentleman connected with the office of the Northern Daily Times, with having come into that establishment upon the previous night, quite drunk,and created a disturbance there. Mr. Hilton stated that he appeared upon the part of Mr. Charles Withrwr, and that the prisoner had herrn mado drunk by members of the Printers' Society, in order to pre vent him from doing any work for the Northern Daily Times. Mr. Maisfield asked what the prisoner had to say in his defence. Prisoner : I believe, your worship, this is a court of justice; - and I trust you - iaf3t grant me the privi lege of explaining this transaction up to the present hour. I am a journeyman printer, and I vacated my situation in London, to take a frame upon Mr. Charles Willmer's news paper. I came down from' London, and having been in Liverpool before, I. niet a number of old acquaintances, and had a glass or two with them, and the consequence .was, I became seriously 'indisposed, and unable to commence business at the time aypointed. I went, the following day, and tendered my services .to 51r.Willmer, but he said, "You have come too late ; I. am afraid you are like others, led away from me by the Printers' Society, and I have put another man in your place." From that time to this, I have met Mr. Willmer frequently in the street, and have spoken to him, and he told me that the first vacancy which occured in the office,. I should be put to the frame. Yesterday, I was anxious to obtain employment, and I went to Birkenhead, where' a gentleman named Osborne had en gaged me for service, to commence this morninz. There was a gentleman ; an old friend of mine, Mr. Willmer's foreman, whom I wished to see, and I went into the office last night. That mail was not the clerk there, but another young man. I asked. to see my friend, but I was told he was busy. I asked to go up stairs—" You can't do so without permission." • " Where is Mr. Willmer ?" "He is engaged also." .I was in altercation with the clerk, respecting the unreasonable nature of his refusal. when, my face being turned' towards the street, this individual came behind my back, gave 'ine a push in the neck, and pushed me into the street. I turnedround to see who it was; nd imme diately I saw Mr. Willmer coming round from the back of the shop. The policeman who took me into custody can tes tify that I came quietly, and even he pondered, paused, and argued the question, and said, " Well, really, if you press the charge, I must take him." -I was not drunk ; I had only taken a glass'of ;. lam not a member of the Liver pool Printers' Soclety,.nor am I connected with them in any opposition to Mr. -Willmer ; I protest it on the honour of a man ; I know there is a strong feeling existing against me ; I have not a friehd in Liverpool, and I do trust sincerely that the magistrate on the bench will not inflict a penalty on me, for I am unable to pay it,• and must be committed to prison, the consequences of which would be disastrous to me ; I have left a wife and an infant at her breast, at Rugby, - in Warwickshire, and if I am sent to prison, the only . possi bility of support she has is gone. Mr. HILToN said that Mr. Willmer did hot *Wish to press the charge, but he was anxious that the matter should be brought before the public. The annoyance was not in that man being made drunk, butin a dozen other cases. Last week a machinist of Mr. Willmer's 'was made drunk, and the same thing had ooeurred in several other instances. The officer was perfectly aware that there was no violence at all used towards that man. Prisoner : I appeal to the officer: The 'Police Officer : You were not shoved out of the shop ; I had to take you out. Prisoner : I gave offence to no one, and I am not acting in concert with the Liverpool Society, nor would I do anything inimical to Mr. Charles Willmer ; on the contrary, perhaps I would be the man who would have the courage to speak out against the unreasonable nature of the opposition of the printers of Liverpool. Mr. HILTON : This man would have been em ployed, but he never was sober. Mr. MANSFIELD : You have certainly no reason to complain of Mr. Willmer. He is perfectly ready to fulfill his contract with you. In place of coming to your work, and acquiring the character of a respectable man, the appearance you make is in a state of into.ication. The best thing yon' an do is to go to Cheshire, and seek employment there. Let him be discharged. MANCHESTER.-Cm COURT CHARGE OF ROBBING A TIMBER WHARF.—Two boat men named Thomas Peacock, and James Birtles, were placed in the dock, charged with having stolen a quantity of wood, the property of Messrs. Hay, Nish, and Mc Kean, Oxford street Saw Mills, but under the charge of the Harrington Carrying Company, from whose yard it was alleged that 202 deals of timber had been stolen by the prisoners. Mr. In spector Maybury of the detective department, stated"that the two prisoners were taken into custody on a charge of having taken a quantity of deals from the side of the canal near the Harrington Carrying Company's wharf. In answer to questions put in cross-examination by Mr. IV. P. Roberts, solicitor, who appeared for IPeaCock, Inspector Maybury said that in formation of the timber having been stolen was given at the Town Hall, on Tuesday week, that the deals were recovered on Thursday, that Birtles was apprehended the same night, and that Peacock was brought to the Town Hall on the previous day (Tuesday,)—Mr. Mc Hale, book-keeper of the Harrington Carrying Company, stated that 202 deals had been missed from the yard belonging to the Company. They took stock yesterday (Tuesday), and they found that that number was missing. The deals had been received at the yard at different times within the last 12 months. He did not think they, could have been sold.—Cross-examined by Mr. Bart, solicitor, who appeared for Riffles :—I have been in the employment of the Company since last Novem ber, but he had never taken stock before Tuesday, since he went to that establishment.—Mr. William Mc.Cowau, a book-keeper in the employment of Messrs. Hay, Nish, and McKean, builders; Oxford-street; stated that according to the books of his employers, the Harrington Carrying Com-, patty ought to have had in their possession (belOnging to his . employers) 6981 deals of timber, but according to the stock taken by the company, they could only produce 6779, con sepiently therewas a deficiency of 202 deals. The Harrington y' *ereCompan the carriers of Messrs Hay, Nish, and Mc. Kean, and the eonipany were bound to produce the number of deals on the bookS of his employers. Witness knew the deals produced by the mark on them.—Cro-- amined.— The deals might have been Christmas last (when he lot t Messrs. Hay, Nish, and I.lc.lCeim "kept in the yard of the rying Company, the yard of Messrs. Bellhouse, Oxford-roau, and their own yard. The Messrs. Bellhouse, who were ready to produce the account in full of the deals under their charge, were certain that none.of the timber had been taken from their yard. The missing deals might have been taken from the yard of the Harrington Carrying Company, or from that of the Messrs. Henry, Nish, and McKean. Mr. Mc Nish stated that he went to the Town's Yard on Monday, when a party told him that he thought certain deals then produced, were the property of Messrs. Henry, Nish, Kean, whose mark was upon them. The firm immediately sent to the offices of the Harrington Carrying Company, with a request that they would take stock of the quantity of deals in their yard belonging to the firm. It was then dis covered that 202 deals were missing. John Lister, who is employed in the tonnage department of the Bridgewater Canal, stated that on the previous Wednesday morning, a man paid him 2s: tonnage for a quantity of timber in a boat. The man who paid him the money was not present, but Bir les, one of the prisoners, was near to the boat when wit less went dov i. to it.

The Town Clerk appeared in support of the complaint ; •.Mr. Bent, so licitor, was for the defendant. It was stated that the defendant had removed.the pigs, and did not intend keeping any others in the yard in which he. had previously kept them. A nominal that of 10s. was inflicted, with the under standing that the fine would never be asked for, unless, the nuisance, which had become very offensive to the neighbours, was repeated.

Last night a body of card-room hands, between 200 and 300 in number, assembled at Mr. 'Worthington's, the Corporation Arms (near the Corn Exchange), to receive their money. They were directed to a room at the back part of the premises, approached from the yard by a flight of stone steps mensions of this apartment, at a rough estimate, are about 25 feet by 20 ; the boarded floor being supported by a beam passing under the centre.

It was found that the beam above mentioned, unequal to the unwonted pressure to which it was subjected, had snapped in the centre, the result being that the floor parted Immediately over the beam, precipitating the crowd of people into the chasm —a depth of about 12 feet. Language is inadequate to the task of conveying anything like an idea of the scene presented by this dense mass of human beings heaped together in appar ently inextricable confusion, and suffering from jejuties of almost every description.
