Cly ilOrit)Ml 6111413 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1857, THE DAY'S NEWS. A meeting of the shareholders of the Liverpool Borough Bank was held yesterday. it was of a • merely routine character, but the following resolution was passed unanimously :—That all acts arid proceedings done and taken by the liquida tors at the adjourned General Meeting, held on the 12th of N. inst , beaind the same are hereby, • adopted . and confirmed. • • A case of alleged attempted 'wife poisoning came before the stipendiary. magistrate, Mr. Mans field,yesterday. A man named John Guy, a master carter, residing in Cheapside, - was 'charged with attempting to poison his wife. These two 'parties had been married about four years, but lately they lived in a very unhappy state. Same days since. the wife took unwell, - and went to Dr. Gaines's shop and obtained some medicine. The medicine at the first proved of great good, but on Sunday, after taking a dose, the women felt very uuwalt. Evidence was given that nothing deadly or paisolious had been given. by the assistant of Mr. Games, and after some time • the further investigation of the ease was adjmirned for seven days. We have not yet received any telegraphic news from India, but are in hourly expectation of it. It . will, no doubt, be of a most interesting character, and we do hope to see some of the statements put forth in several of the private letters just published, disproved. One of these letters says, that Lord Hodgson, after capturing the sons and grandson of the King of Delhi, had them denuded of-theii finery—ordered them into their own carriage, and then he {Lieutenant Hodgson) deliberately shot one after another of these rebels. We really -catannt believe' this statement. If it is true, it is 43. old-Weeded murder. Why not have had them shot in the regular course, or have hanged them ? but for the in:la:who captured them to have d prived them 01 life, after shutting them ue in a carriage;' and that carriage their own, is a moat diabolical proceeding. If there is - any reason . .to put the least taith in the letter we allude to, and - it is published in a Scotch paper, the Ayrshire Ezpress; we do look forward with the hope that Sir A. Wilson will direct a court martial to be held concerning the conduct of the officer in question ; and, if he is not summarily disposed of, he ought to be drummed 'out of the ranks of her Majesty's army. It is now stated that Lord Palmerston is very much disposed to promote great changes in the future administration of India, and would even go - so far as at once to abrogate the double govern ment system ; and it is intimated that if such be not proposed by the Ministerial Bench, when Parliament meets, the fault will not be with the first Lord of the Treasury. A London cotemporary is, however, rather inclined to believe that such is far from being the case. It says :--" We, as well as the public at hug-, would be very glad ,to know that such is, indeed, the feeling of the P for:flier; but our own information, which we believe to be well-founded, leads us to think that the rumour in question has no foundation whatever, except io the natural anxiety that it should be true. On the contrary, we are informed, that the First Lord, -in opposition to the wish of not a few members of the Cabinet, wants to perpetuate the old system in India, if for no other purpose than to teach foreign nations that our Eastern Empire has not been mismanaged. But it cannot be doubted that the Minister will throw the East India Company overboard, if lie find that the country will be against him unless he do so." We:learn that yesterday the. Hon. W. Leveson Gower issued an address to the electors of Paisley, offerin g himself as a candidat e f or t h e representa .tion in Parliament of that borough. . Several very curious cases have just been before the London Police Magistrates. In one ease two respectable architects were summoned for having indecently interred and dug up the dead bodies and portions of dead bodies of human beings, and permitted the said dead bodies to be ex nosed, whereby decency was outraged and health endangered. It would appear that these gentle men were architects and contractors for the erection of a Roman Catholic School, which was to be built on the site of a recent burial-ground ; such ground, however, was • required to be thoroughly excavated. and in doing so the bodies Were exposed. But this was not all complained of.' A quantity of the bones had been sold to a marine store dealer. The inquiry was adjourned. The . British Bank again ! At the Court of 'Queen's Bench, yesterday, Mr. 1). Seymour ob tained a rule calling on the Attorney-General to show cause why Mr. Cameron's trill should no be postponed. till next term, on the ground that he had no time to prepare his defence. A.t the London Court of Bankruptcy, yesterday ; the case in re Syera, Walker, and S 3 ers, bank rupts, who had carried on in London and Liver pool as ship-brokers, , came up for a further hearing. The failure was to a large amount, the liabilities la!ing upwards of £250,000, and the assets about £33,000. Mr. .Poole opposed .on behalf of Mr. Farwig, a creditor, and Mr. Law rence for others; Mr. Roxburgh appeared on behalf of Messrs. Syere, and Mr. Bayley - for 'Walker. The case was now further adjourned by consent for a week. The Chartist body have not been satisfied with their recent demonstration at Birmingham, and they issue therefrom of a sort of political creed. At London, on Monday night, they held a meeting to take steps to promote the movement for Parlia mentary Reform. It was resolved to call a public meeting at the London Tavern. A. terrible boiler explosion, at Huddersfield, has terminated in the loss of eight lived. At Aspley, Huddersfield, is situated the cotton factory of Mr- Charles Kaye, and at this place the explosion . took place, a little after two o'clock p m., on Monday. The cause is at present unknown. Mr. Kaye had recently had a new steam engine Laid down of 16 horse-power, the old one being sight horse-power. but till boiler was about two years old. The engine house is at the side of a goit at- dam, and over it were two rooms, in which a portion of the manufaeture was carried on. The force of the explosion cast these rooms down; and one part of the boiler, and six persons (four women and two men), were blown over the goit—the m en into the dye house of Mr. Mitchell, a distance of 42 yards. These persons were killed, and so were THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, one or two others. The other part of the boiler was forced from its bed to a distance of twenty yards. Several persons were injured. Our news from abroad this morning does not call for much attention. .The Piedmontese Government have, it seems, notified to the British consul at Genoa that Miss White, though now set at liberty without trial, is to quit the Sardinian States. The Neapolitan government is said to be pre pared to bring out a distinct charge of conspiracy against the two English engineers of the Cagliari stsamer, whom it holds imprisoned, and which charge is founded on a letter in Miss White's handwriting found upon them, An analysis of the Danish despatch of the 14th instant, already mentioned, is furnished by a Belgian paper. It shows that on a principal point —the use made by the Danish Crown of the reve nues of the Holstein domains —the difference is as great as ever. The Paris Constitutionne/ denies the position the French government has • resolved to take in the Holstein question. It will not call for the inter ferenee of Europe unless the German Diet should extend its interference from Holstein and Lauan burg to Schleswi g . This harm on i ses w i t h the news from Frankfort, where the committee of the Federal Diet is said to have recommended that the Diet should strictly limit itself to what fails under the letter and spirit of the Federal Constitu tion. The Paris lloniteur announces that M. Dupin has been appointed Procateur Imperial in the C ;tut of Cessation. He was well known as one of the most notable adherents of the Orleanist party, and his acceptance of office under the. Empire has caused great sensation in Paris. A new institution, intended to relieve Commercial embarrassment was formed at Hamburg yesterday. (Tuesday). It is called the discount guarantee society, with 10.000,000 marks, Bank capital, which was subscribed in four hours. THE London Times passes over in silence the broad and often-repeat:A fact that the Bullion ists are unable to pay their contracts in gold, and hence arises the industrial and commercial distress which afflicts the country. It would be dangerous to attempt to gainsay a thing so pal. pable. We are, therefore, treated to a City Article from our coternporary, on price, in which he very adriotly makes -a borrower of a commodity take the place of a buyer, and in this way he makes it appear that when gold, which can never realise more than 3/. 17s. 103 d per ounce, becomes dear, the borrower ought to pay 10 or 15 per cent. for its use, without grumbling which is as much as to say that the farmer, who has to pay rent and taxes in kind, should never . be allowed to receive more than LlO5. per quarter for his wheat. This is precisely the position in which the exporting merchant is placed. lie must never receive gold at a higher rate than 3/. 17s. 101 d, the ounce ; and when ,bullion dealers succeed in getting a few millions of gold at this fixed price into their possession, after having limited the supply by prohibition, they claim the right to demand 10 and 15 per cent. for the loan ofit. If gold be really " dearer," as the London Times reports, how comes it that its selling price' is only 31. 17s. 9d. per ounce ? Gold could never be bought cheaper than it can at the pre sent hour. If it was positively scarce, it would most assuredly realise the full Mint price. The markets of the world, then, must be overstocked with this metal, and the advance in the prices of all other commodities must be ascribed to the loss of its purchasing power. The abundance of the precious metal has depreciated its value, and, consequently, we are obliged to give a greater number of ounces of it for our supplies ; and it •is for the loan of this artificially and unnaturally depreciated commodity that the London Times says we must pay JO, or 15 • per cent ! - The vast accumulations of gold :which will follow the present plunder . of .the anan.ufacturer s and merchant will prove that there is no such thing as a scarcity - of gold, but on the contrary, that there is a. superabundance of it afloat in traoe, and it is on this depreciated metal the London Times would have us continue to base our burrency. It would give us, in fact, an " en- tirely metallic currency," as though Australia and California had 'exhausted their gold fields and mines,and the yellow metal was as valuaole to-day as it was in the time of LYCURGUS. Our cltem porary candidly admits that, "if we bid higher than other nations for gold, we shall have as much as we want." From this we are to infer that, if we buy this metal, as we d tea coffee, or sugar, to supply our wants, we should hear no more of panics which bring hundreds of our once independent men to destitution, and reduce nine-tenths of the working population to star vation. We thank the enemy for this oppor une admission. Mercantile men can afford to accept an insult, which covers its utterers with ridicule. But • why do . cs our London scribe endeavour to depreciate the current value of the Bank of England note, by declaring that, 'the infusion of 2,000,000/. of credit notes, in 20,000,0001., has debased tile currency to the extent of 10 per cent. How could this come to pass? 01 the 20,000,0001. alluded, 14,000,0001. represent credit, not gold. If then, England was placed in the position co having "an entirely metallic currency" in 1844 the debasement of our circulation•is very frightful, We have - no less than 16 000,0001. of the Bank of England's credit notes in daily utFe! Can the London Times survive such an out rage ? This, coupled with the Government's attempt to interfere when the. whOle Exiapire was reduced to 'a state of bankruptev---When the employer and employed were •equally threatened .with annihilation—and when our entire, social existence was threatened with dang,ers never before heard of—will certainly leave our sapient money-philosopher breathless. Meanwhile we are told that the " theory of protection was not extinguished with the corn laws." This is but too true, as England has just now discovered to her cost. But the practical operation of partial Free .Trade has pourtrayed in the most hideous colours the baseness, both in theory and practice, of all " protection." The abolition of the corn laws, while the Currency Act of ISI9 and Bank Charter Act of 1844 were left to disgrace our statute books, was a paltry juggle, and one th e country cannot forget in a hurry, now that the whole community have felt their direful effects. The mercantile public have suddenly discovered that they have in reality to pay 80,000,0001. of revenue, and the entire of their trade contracts in gold, not at the market price of that metal, but at 3/. 17s. 104 d. per ounce, which is equivalent to saying to the farmer—" You must pay rent and taxes in wheat at 40s. per quarter. This is the standard value we have fixed on wheat, and at this price you must deliver it to your landlord and the tax-collectors." And this is " the theory of protection" which the London Times informs us " was not extinguished with the corn laws." We are not indebted, however, to the Charter Act of 1844, as the above journal would make it appear, for this iniquitous portion of our monetary system. Our fixed gold standard of value was made the basis on which the adjustment of the Na tional Debt took place in 1819, and its pernicious effects soon rendered it necessary to cut down the interest of the Debt, whereby the annuitant classes were made to suffer severely. But this was not enough. Panics ensued 'in quick sue • cession. Prices were depressed, and the people were starving. The Corn Laws were altered. Sliding scales became the order of the day. The London Times had its specifics for all emer gencies. It discovered on a sudden that the prohibitions directed against the importation of corn were at the bottom of the long category of our national evi!s. These crude 'laws were then denounced, and Free Trade advocated. Hundreds of millions of surface gold came pouring in to aid the more natural order of things, which was established at all risks. But all would not do. The real source of our evils, which were so ably reviewed and exposed, lay far below the surface, In the open market where everything was to b!: sold, as free from duty as possible, the com modity into which it was to be converted, and into which all transactions were finally to resolve themselves. was protected, so as to bez worth so' much and no more. This so much being in a great majority of cases unnaturally low, led to scarcity, followed by enhanced value where it .was required for temporary use. Now, let us suppose this protected commodity to have been wheat, and the price of wheat to have been fixed at 40s. per quarter ; that we, in order to import it at a profit, were obliged t buy it at a propor tionally low price, what would become of our" stocks ? What would be the extent of our trade in wheat ? And suppose that when we had made this particular grain scarce by our legislation, the farmer was to say to us, " You know you cannot buy a quarter of wheat for 405., but we will lend you one or two for 12 months at 445." Who would submit to such a process as this ? And yet this is just what is going• on in our money-market, at the present moment, and to get rid of it we must see the currency lacy, commonly called, '` PEEL'S Bill of' 1819," repealed with the least possible foss of time. TILER E is just now much conjecture and speculation afloat as to Lord PALMERSTON'S intentions respecting a new Reform Bill, and some of our metropolitan cotemporaries are somewhat positive that if his Lordship can by any means help it, he will 'forfeit his pledge to Parliament, and take another year's grace upon the subject. We must confess that we never had any great faith in Lord PALAIERSTON'S anxiety to reform the representation of the people, and extend the franchise to the masses. His close and intimate connection with the aristocracy causes him to be rather averse to increasing the political power of the millions. The course adopted by Mr. ROEBUCK and his followers has led several Ministerial prints to the conclusion that the Ministry have resolved to postpone the question of Reform until the year 1859. But this we should hardly think Lord PALM ERSTON would do, seeing that he . positively promised to consider the whole ques. tion in the approaching Session. We admit that he is dexterous enough to plead as a justification of such a breach of promise the fact that there ' has not been any loud and determined demands for Reform out of doors, and that the people have been quite silent on the subject. At the last general election it was pretty evi dent how the people felt and thought upon the matt r. Tae number of Members of Parliamen pledged to agitate the question is now suffi ciently great to compel any Minister who would desire to maintain the confidence of the House of Commons, not only to extend the franchise, but to give Parliamentary electors the safety and security of vote by ballot. Under these circum stances, we do not think it likely that the Pre mier will venture to meet, empty-handed, the Liberal majority of the house of Commons, composed of politicians, who, like himself, are pledged to the nation and to their own consti tuents. But should 1.431-d PALMERSTON desert the Liberal cause, and play into the hands of the Tories, by neglecting or - refusing to introduce, a new Reform Bill, it does not follow that the peo ple's cause shall be entirely put aside, and the hopes of political amelioration nipped in the bud. Lord JoHN RUSSELL, we know, is ready for action, and would only be too glad so to play his cards as tc be considered the author and pro moter of a. new Reform Bill. Indeed, he - who, framed the famous measure of 1832, is, of all other StateSmen, the one who should be' • thoroughly competent to deal with the matter' He knows the merits and defects of the existing system,. and could the more effectually and readily apply the necessary remedies. Mr. ROEBUCK is also sure to make some attempt. His late measures, however, lead us to place little faith in any movements he may choose to plan and carry out. All who know anything of the histOry of Lord PALAIERSTON'S political career must be well aware that he is too much of a diplomatist to allow any laurels to be plucked from his brow; and, although he may not be very sincere as a Reformer, expediency will force him to redeem the promise he made at the close of the last Session. Seeing, then, that the Reform party are so powerful in the present House of Commons, it is their duty to call upon Parliament in strong, but respectful terms, to grant a new Reform Bill, and thereby convince the Premier of the neces sity of keeping faith with Parliament and the public. This is the more necessary, seeing that the Reformers have decided enemies in the Cabi net. For example, Lord GRANVILLE is opposed to any extension of the suffrage, and should he give way, we may be sure he will do it with an ill-grace. And if we can place any confidence in what some of our Metropolitan cotemporaries set forth, it is to this astute and courtly Earl that the leading journal is indebted for its inspirations, which are intended not so much to act upon the country as to influence the First Lord of the Treasury. We need not wonder, then, to find the paper in question counselling prderastination in reforming the parliamentary representation of the country. Again, we have another high personage who feels but little for the political and social elevation of the people we allude to the Duke of ARGYLE. He, it is said, in political circles, in concert with the Lord •President of the Council, endeavours to persuade the Premier that he is not obliged to redeem his pledge. We believe, however, that Sir GEORGE GREY* and Sir CHARLES WOOD, Whigs of the Bedford School, are firm in their opinion that the promise of • last Session should be faithfully kept and performed. From all these circumstances, it is only necessary to urge upon the Reformers of the United Kingdom unity of action and purpose. Their rights will not be.obtained without a deter mined struggle. The old Tory chiefs will muster strong, and give fierce-battle against every ex tension of the suffrage. This opposition must be met with true courage, and the fixed intention and purpose of achieving a victory. And that only can be attained by a steady, well-conducted, and continuous agitation. Political unions must be . formed in every parish and hamlet in the land. They. were the great secret of O'CONNELL'', success, and will yet gain for the Liberals of the United Kingdom that to which they are so *justly entitled--an extensive and satisfactory system of representation in the Commons House of Parliament. It will not do to place entire reliance on political leaders. They must be forced forward by the enlightened and unre served sentiments of the public voice. Until Reform is granted, we need not expect that the mass of social evils under which the people labour, can be amended. Our criminal code contains several relics of the days of barbarism, and monetary and commercial schemes of Legis lature, require amendment and repeal. Let the people, then, be true to themselves, and falter not on this mighty and important question, and victory, speedy and complete, be their reward. r PARLIAMENTARY DINNICas.-I,lrd Palmerston will give a state dinner on Wednesday, th 3 2nd Thcember, at his residence, Cambridg-house, Piccidilly, to the mover an I seconder of the address in the House of Commons, and a Large party of members of the Lower House of Parlia ment. Earl Granville, Lard President of the Piivv Council, will give a state binquet Oa the same day, at his residenc3 in Bruton-street, to the mover and seconder of the address in the House of Lords, and to the Lord Chan cellor and a large party of Peers. DEPORTATION OF PAUPERS. --The deportation cf paupers from Englan and Scotland to. Belfast still continues, and the probability is, the number of destitute creatures who are thus transmitted here w:11 be considerably on the in crease this winter. It appears that, du;.;n; the lest six or seven weeks, commencing with the let of October, and ending the 19th inst., between two and three hundred people received temporary relief from the hands of Captain Nl‘Bricle- If these people had not been aided in their distressed circumstances, it is ditll3ult to say how many of them would have remained a burden oa the Be:fist Union, bat it is exceedingly likely that miny of them would even no v be in our workhouse, as the poor law requires that itntnerliats relief shall he alministote I in all cues of destitution. Of the cases relieved by Captain Al`Bride we shall partienlarise a few, as the facts regarding them are worthy of notice. One man was sent here by the parochial authorities of Manchester, at er having lived i r Mes7hestlr for a period of twenty-five years. He was sant back to Liverpool. Fourteen of the p nor people, though belonging to, Dublin, were landed at Belfas', and here abandoned, without a farthing to support them. Captain Al• Bride forwarded them to Dublin. In one day ten destitute creatures 'arrived from Glasgow, having h:en deported from Edinburgh, and four out of the number were sent back to Glasgow , . OF the four, there was one man who had lived thirty-two years in Scotland ; and the three others, who were women, had lived twos ty four, forty-six, and fOurteen years respectively in that country. A great many of the cases were those of persons elso hal no means to leave Belfast, and, hail they not been transmitted to their native places, they must either have been sent to the workhouse, or allowed to travel about as tnen.licants through the town or country. If in the town, they would have been arrested for begging, and sent toga)l for a week or a mouth, as the case might be; so that, Whether they had gone to the workhouse or the gaol, it signifies little, as the public would have to support, them, and their removal, therefore, is a gain to Belfast. There were two other cases of a different kin t. One was that of a woman and two children, who had been a burden on the Belfast Union for the last ten months. The woman was a 'native of Manchester, and she would still he, in Our work bouae, 11.-4 not Captain M`Bride sent her and her children to Liverpool to proceed to the pine of her nativity. The other was a similar case—that of a girl, but Dublin was her native plaoe. She also had been is the _Belfast work- OVEMBER 255 house for ten months. These are facts which the public have an interest in knowing. On the 25th ult. a poor girl, a lunatic, was landed on our qaay, helpless and penniless. She was originally from Maghera, in the C mnty Derry. Captain M'Bride provided her with food, and forwarded her to her native place. The great grievance in regard to these deported paupers is, that no matter what part of Ireland is the native place of the individuals, the Ertzlish and Sc3tch authorities ship them all to Belfast, where, as we have already stated, they would probably remain if they were not forwarded to the places of their birth. We may mention one case in point. On the 19th inst., a woman named Elizabeth Ward, with her two children, was sent here by the local authorities of Paisley. She belongs to Strabane, in the county of Tryone, and she should have been sent to Derry, which is only twelve miles from Strabane, but instead of doing so, she is landed in Belfast, without food or money. Captain M'Bride had her and her children coaveyed to the workhouse, where they are at present, but this eve❑ing they will be removed, and transmitted to Derry. Such are the cases of distress and destitution that daily presents themselves to our nutice on the quays of Belfast.—Belfast Mercury. ST.tTl3rlc, OF CRIME IN IRELAND.—Daring the sessicn of the Statistical Association several valuable papers have ben read by its members. One of these was compiled by James Moncrieff Wilson, Esq., Actuary and Manager of the Patriotic Assurance Company of Ireland, and has been published as a pamphlet. It is an able, an elaborate, and a lucid synopsis of crime in Ireland from 1842 to 1856, with accompanying explanatory observations of considerable interest. The author's tabular statements are exceedingly intelligible. In ta')le B the ratio]per een:. of crime to the population during the period already in dic ated is thus given :—" In 1842 it was 2,582 ; this ratio gradually decre sad till the year 1845 when it became 2,019; in 1846 it commenced t increase, and continued increasing till 1849, when it attained its maximum of 6,014, or 601 criminals to every 100,000 of the popul:. lion ; from the year 1850 onwards a sensible annuli deeree,sa took place; in 1356 the ratio fell se low as 1,167, or 117 criminals to each 101,020 of population." Tl'e variations in these years are fully accounted for by M . Wlson. Crime was greatest when Irela ad sordered me t acutely from the ravages of the potata blight, and to Oa a awful visitation was owing the addition to the crimire 1 population in tles years intervening between 1846 and 1319. Anether division of Mr. Wilson's talented compilation elucidates the classes of crime over which social distress exercises. the gtre test is - fluence. This branch of the subject is very- attractively analyses. Some of td-ie deductions are not a little curious ; for example—" 01,ences against the person" were most prevalent from 1842 to 1,876 among males who could I read and write, and least among those who -were but half educatid. On the other hand, females who could neither read nor write outnumbered those who could in the species of crimes comprised under the above head. In the - " per petration of offences against propeity committed with violence," the Males who could not read or write were greatly in excess of these who could, while female the feala p-pu'ation the opposite fact is as distinctly seen, The proportion of criminals charged with " rnaliciou; offences to property," stood , thus : —Males who could n ri!lier read nor write in the reti of two to one in, the class who have acquired on or both of these branches of learning. Among females who do not know how to read or write the disposition t this hind of crime is six times more general thin in the comparatively 'edneated elan Forgery in ballad was almit - ceinfitied - , to .the educated ; counterfeiting gold or silver c la was greatly practised by the ignorant. Mr. Wilson's pamphlet is worthy the deepest attention of every. Irish statist, and, wa are hapky to say, pre'sants on the whole a favourable picture of Irish morals.—Evening Paci,re. 1857.
