THE CASE OF MR. L. T. GASKILL, LATE MESSENGER OF TEE BANKRUPTCY COURT. SEVERAL friends of Mr. Gaskill, having taken his case into consideration, and believing as they do, that it is one of great hardship, have INSTITUTED A SUBSCRIP TION on behalf of himself and family. Mr. Gaskill was summarily dismissed on the 28th of last March, since which time he has not been in the receipt of one shilling, having been solely dependent upon the contributions of a few friends. Mr. Gaskill had held his situation for fourteen yecrs, no complaint having ever been urged against him further ti an having been forced into a prison for twenty ,one days, through being security for one of the Manchester official assignees. Mr. Gaskill, there is no doubt, has been most cruelly treated, as the following extract from one of his letters to the Liver po,l 'Journal will tend to sho'v With retcrence to my insolvency, I can point to three registrars of Bankruptcy Courts in this county who have taken the Leneflt of the Insolvent Acts, and yet retained their situations.

I was dis charged in the same court by the same judge, after the usual forms had been complied with, which occuoied five minutes ! ' Mr. Gaskill has received the following letters, by which he hopes that an enquiry may be instituted into his case : From the Right Hon. the Earl of Hat rowby _ London, Atigust 9, 1856, Sir,—l have sett your I , tter to the Lord C hancelior, and called his atteLtion to its con ents, which seem to furnish matter for loves tigation.—l am, sir, your obedient se; vant, HARROWBY . 1,.

As far as religion is concerned, Mr. Satchell would make an excellent Nero in his way. lie considers all who belong to the Roman Catholic faith unfit to hold a public situation under the Select Vestry—an idea which we believe Dr. M'Neile would hardly venture to promulgate. Mr. Satchell made nothing by his move. The Vestry very properly rejected it by a vote of 12 to 7. In noticing the Vestry proceed ings of yesterday, we say that these displays of narrow.minded bigotry are totally unbecoming. The public at large detest them, and they who originate them should not be sent to the Vestry a second time to wound and annoy the feelings of those who hold different religious views than the erudite Messrs. Satchell mid Co. While on this subject, we may just as well refer to the insolent and reprehensible conduct of some parties connected with the St. Mary's Catholic Young Men's Society. Last night, the members held their " Annual Grand Soiree " in the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street. A ticket of admission was sent to this office, which we handed to our reporter, so that he might attend, and furnish for our publication of to-day, such portions of the proceedings as were of interest to the public. On arriving at the Concert Hall, the parties having charge of the matter at the doors, refused admission to the gentleman from this office, and repudiated the card of invitation issued by the committee of the society• Meeting this rebuff, and being unable to obtain admittance, so that he could perform the duties of his office, he was about to leave the Hall, when he met, at the bottom of the building, a gentleman belonging to the reporting corps of our cotemporary the Daily Post, and, after consulting for some time together, they again tried, but in vain, to obtain admission, after which they retired. Now, this is a piece of conduct which . we cannot pass over unnoticed. If it was not intended to admit on the card sent to our office, why insult us by placing it in our hands ? The gratification of of swallowing a cup of swashy tea and chewing a mouthful of cake to it, or listening to and reporting the raw compositions of amateur orators, are not sufficient inducements to any reporter to attend at the Concert Hall, Lord Nelson-street, were it not that as public journalists we deem it a duty to leave nothing unnoticed which can contribute to make the pages of the NORTHERN TIMES interesting and attractive. The sample that we have had of the members of the " St. Mary's Young Men's Society," induces us to say, that the sooner they acquire something like manners, and can recognise the admissability of their own invi tations, the better it will be for themselves, and those who may have occasion to come in contact with them. Among the more important items of Continental news is the protest of the Czar of Russia against the interference of France and England in the affairs of Naples. This important manifesto has been addressed by order of the Emperor to all his representatives at Foreign Courts. His Imperial Majesty grounds his protest upon the supposition that France and England have no right to meddle with the just independence of other governments It is dated Moscow, September 2. Looking at the document in question, we must regard it as neither more nor less than a solemn declaration, haughty in tone and defiant in language, of the part that Russia intends to assume in the political transac tions of Europe ; and a denunciation but thinly veiled under the stately courtesies of diplomatic style, against the projected interference of the two great Western Powers in Naples and the continued occupation of Greece. The manifesto, after reminding the Western Powers of the alleged cause of the late war in the Crimea, declares that in the continued occupation of Greece, and the menaced interference with Naples, it is impossible not to perceive a violation of the principles to which the adhesion of Europe was thus understood to have been given in. The occu pation of Greece against the will of the Sovereign and the will of the nation, is declared to be wholly unjustifiable on any ground of political necessity or political morality. With regard to the inter ference in Naples, the expressions used are at least equally strong. The King of Naples, it is declared, is subjected to pressure, not because his Majesty has transgressed any of his treaty engagements with foreign Powers, but solely because, in the exercise of his incontestable rights ;of sovereignty, he governs his subjects according to his own fashion. Amicable warnings, even pressing exhortations, are allowed to be admissible in such a case, but that the Russian Manifesto declares is the extreme limit of what international law allows. There never was a time we are told, when Europe could less afford to forget the absolute equality of Soverieigns among themselves ; and the endeavour to extort from the King of Naples, by threats or demonstrations, any concessions as to the internal management of his own dominions, is represented as a violent usurpa tion of his authority, an attempt to govern in his stead, a proclamation, without disguise, of the right of the strong over the weak. From these points, the manifesto intimates the regret of the Czar, that the union with those who in conjunction with us have so long up held the principles on which the peace of Europe for a quarter of a century has depended, exists no longer in its ancient integrity. It declares that the Emperor, though primarily devoted to the develop ment of the internal resources of his own dominions, cannot yet remain a stranger to the general politics of Europe ; that his policy, though national, is not isolated ; and that, though he regards the interests of his people as the first object, he is convinced that even the pursuit of that object cannot excuse a violation of the rights of others. Russia, we are told, might reasonably have taken umbrage at the misconstruction to which her policy has heretofore been subject. Her protective action on behalf of the rights of Governments has been perversely interpreted to mean an aspiration after universal empire. She is, however, too magnanimous, on this account, to retire into silence and inaction, convinced that such a course (and these, reader , are ominous -words) is unworthy of a Power to whom Providence has assigned that place in Europe which is occupied by Russia. From what we gather in the Paris and other Continental journals, the foregoing protest is not likely to exercise much, if any, effect. France and England will pursue the course which they have chalked out for themselves with regard to the Neapolitan Government. The other news from the Continent is of little moment. Th e rumour of strong reinforcements being sent from Paris to Rome is unfounded. The present for ce is not to be increased by a single company. The Genoa Corriere Mercantile, of the 26th ult., announces that the Sardinian Parliament::is to meet on the 2nd of January. The revenue returns issued this morning a re of a satisfactory character, denoting, that notwith standing the late taxation upon our industry, all departments of trade are in a very satisfactory position. From what we learn of the returns in question, the increase on the quarter is put down at 1 ,100,0001, on the six months 1,600,0001, and on the year compared with 1855 to same period not less than 3,300,0001. The Customs receipts are steady, and the years increase put down at 200,0001. Owing to the increase in the hop and spirit duties, the revenue of the excise has in. creased during the quarter to 300,0001; for the half year, 500;0001; and for the year, 450,000/. An increase of £lOO,OOO is shown in the department of stamps ; but in the year there is a decrease of 220,000, attributable to the full working of the modified newspaper stamp law. Under the head of income and property tax, increased assets are put forward. The entire result of the returns are most satisfactory, and denote a state of considerable prosperity. WE rejoice at the hearty reception given to Mr. WILLIAM ''WART GLADSTONE in his native town on Monday evening, at the Collegiate Institute. The occasion was one of peculiar solemnity and importance. Mr. GLADSTONE Met in that room men who had combated the heathens of America, the idolaters of Africa, and who have struggled to convince the Brahmins of Asia, that there was no salvation for those who went bare headed and footed, and who lived on the wild herbs of the desert—to uproot a fanatical belief in the transmigration of souls, and the base doctrine that, at the creation of the world, all things came from the bosom of the Deity, and that the world will perish by all things returning to their first origin —men who had broken in upon the faith— that this Earth shall be destroyed by fire, and another called forth from its ashes, in which there shall be no sea, and be blessed with eternal Spring. There were men on the platform who had laboured to wean the Brahmins of the Indian Ocean from the belief that there is a plura lity of worlds, that they are successfully destroyed and renewed at certain periods--to shake their veneration for cows' tails at the moment of death , and to strengthen their faith in their traditions which teach them that God has been incarnate, and lived for some time among men. These were the men who had assembled to push ahead the work of the Gospel and to welcome Mr. GLADSTONE. And what a perfect reflex of their own earnestness, piety, and hopefulness the Church and its Mis sionaries found in the mind of the statesman who addressed them! The Right Honourable Gentleman could never have felt more deeply interested in a subject, or more perfectly at home, than he did on Monday night. When he took a spiritual glance at his theme, ho was all the Church could desire—when he dealt politically with it, he gave expression to all the Constitution could exact—and when he looked at the material condition of Christian nations, as compared with those of the heathen, he ascribed it to the existence of that freedom which the Gospel bestows on all true believers. A more beautiful outline of a public oration could scarcely have been conceived ; but as Mr. GLAD* STONE went on filling up the back ground of his picture, he could not, for the life of him, leave out the rocks on which so many empires have been wrecked, and those rapids which have swept away so many churches. Almost every profound historian falls into the same cardinal error, and every vacilating politician makes the same capital mistake. And Mr. GLADSTONE was not the exception to the pile. For instance—He would give a grant from the national purse to the Society, for the Propagation of the Gospel, and would call on the parent State to endow the Episcopal Church in those Colonies where she has the power to do so, and on the Colonists to act likewise, where they have the governing voice in such matters in their own senates. This was advocating, virtually, the extension of the Established Church to all parts of the Empire, and throwing aside the claims of the Voluntary system, and the indefatigable labourers the Dissenters have sent into the vineyard. This was a most unhappy touch of the political brush . It did well enough for the hundreds of mother churchmen whom Mr. GLADSTONE was addressing at the moment, but it was ill-adapted to an age—an empire —struggling for de liverance from the interference of the State in the spiritual affairs of a people, and for a season when much more is expected from men as the work of love, than from a Church which is in the receipt of 9,000,000/. a-year. Such a revenue ought to be sufficient to sup ply all our spiritual wants at home, and to Evangelise every other nation upon earth. It is anything but a Godlike sum to appropriate to any individual service, unless it be the propaga tion of the Gospel, and the preaching of the true faith of a Christian country. A tree of such vast dimensions ought to bear an abundance of fruit. The Colonies ought not to be left languishing with only twenty_eight Bishops and 440 Missionaries ; and, if our Colonial subjects will endow one Church, they ought, in common justice, to make a permanent provision for the clergy of every creed. Less than this will lead to the same spiritual discord, and kindle the same passions of sectarianism abroad which we are so much troubled with and divided about at home. It would afflict British North America with a PUSEY, South Africa with a WILBERFORCE, British India with a NEWMAN, and Australia with the retirement of Bishops. Religious minds will sympathise with the unfortunate, and some Divines, more charitable than the rest, would forsake the flock who would take all for themselves, and leave others, equally zealous in the great and good, relying on man's compassion and God's providence. Had Mr. GLADSTONE reflected a little on this portion of his speech, we feel assured that he would have kept clear of the question of Church Endowment in the Colonies. Still, the right honourable gentleman's object, and that of the Society he addressed, were equally laudable and necessary. Where the speakers touched on the material pros perity which reigns nearly throughout the whole of our distant dominions, they ascribed it, as we I have before observed, to the superior intelligence, morality, industry, safety for life and property, and high veneration in which the Anglo-Saxon race holds the Gospel, and labours to secure to themselves and their children, the inestimable treasure of religious training. These are facts which all may freely endorse, and where such objects are, it is hoped, to be attained, every man ought to lay his shoulder to the overladen wheel. It is time that we set about our work with a spirit and determination worthy of the epoch in which we live, and went forth ea.susa tCirfyhrißstiisahne trumpets, p a o aa p nn l e dd , shoutwith many voices, an d i n eve o haohlei e tn o n s q t w i e i r l a n n e d t d t o e s l a e v t h t7 i , n o d ne he a a n th d eh al , l, tbheasttihr eourselves many e to t fall ca into ek theth e ry t ongue. Let ditch, and the hundreds of millions "of little 0 ‘ faith," who we see walking over the precipice to what we firmly believe to be destruction. With such work before us, there is but little time for cavilling about endowments and other means of encouraging the growth of Christianity. It has taught man too much already to think of its essence being lost or passing away with the freehold of church lands, or the brickwalls from which we have received, and are to draw, our divine know ledge. It is destined to take the whole world into its grasp, and it only remains for each church, each sect, and each nation, to do their duty to the suffering pagan in proportion to their means—to make the remotest parts of the earth what the most favoured portions of Europe are in all that reveals the majesty and wisdom of the Godhead, and con tributes to the greatness and glory of mankind. To be able and willing to take our share in a work so full of promise, morally, politically, and materially, will make us, through all time, one of the most revered nations on the earth, and leaving such a record after us will be among the most enduring triumphs of the Christian era. THE retirement of Mr. Hour from the Town Council has led to some little agitation out of doors. There is no lack of candidates to fill vacant places in thosr , cllys of competition. Castle- street Ward has its sons of ambition. This is all very proper, and we are ready to aid the man who will bring the greatest amount of public morality and enlightenment into the Council Chamber. The two months allowed by Mr. HOLT for the arrival of the Rivington Pike water, will have expired before November, and as many more years, we fear, will have passed over our heads ere we taste the sweets of the oxidised liquid ; and, as Mr. HOLT has, probably, a very strong suspicion that the disap pointment of the Burgesses will be too great for him to face the corporate hustings, he prudently declines the honour of being put in nomination at the approaching Municipal Election. The first of the ostensible grounds put forward by Mr. HOLT we dare not cavil about. " A limit has been fixed " beyond which human activity cannot be extended to advantage?' Had Mr. HOLT stopped here, the tongue of criticism must have remained silent. But when a man who boasts of twenty years actual service in the Corporation, ventures to say that the Rivington Pike scheme " is really and truly " carried out and realised," after what the public have so recently heard from the Council them selves, we fear that Mr. HOLT must be suffering under some greater infirmity than that to which he attributes his determination to retire into private life. " All that remains to be done," says Mr. HOLT, "in order to bring to Liverpool the water which " has been so abundantly and completely im " pounded in the reservoirs at Rivington, are some " odds and ends of connecting links on the pipe " line. The two small reservoirs or tanks, the one " at Apul Moor and the other at Mountrey House "are contracted for by parties fully capable of " doing the work; and these, when finished (but " which are not necessary for bringing the water "to Liverpool), will complete the undertaking " altogether in all its details." The public know the exact value to place on these assurances, and time will enable us to form a more reliable estimate of their worth. It would be useless, however, to follow Mr. HOLT any further. He has evidently fallen into an hallucination which cannot be removed by the use of reason. We therefore take our leave of the veteran Town Councilman. Our business lies more immediately with the Council as a body. We have to look to what they have done, in order to judge of what we have to expect from them henceforth. We have seen nearly three t quarter smost of s h a a m m i e l f l i a o l n j o o f b m s o n e v e e y r expended known— on t he one of Pike bubble. The four million dock job was a project of pre ciselyt dG roevw Government, nt down lev s nn a t m :wi e ph c oi h enh a r tl a lh, c ee t r e e r t , foo a wl s lf n o t : l ne e t the e b y w i s a l u l R s pe. p o r i y o c a v i s I o Com mission to enquire into the local charges on shipping, and it called forth the opposition of Man chester, which led to the introduction of a bill for the " abolition" of our town dues, and a Parlia mentary committee to enquire into the shortest road to the subversion of the principle of local self-government, and the rights of property. Need the Ratepayers be reminded of the juggling of tho Council on the gas question ? Who ever beheld such an exhibition of toadyism and jobbery ? The town is saddled with a " meter" inspector, and an establishment which will cost the Borough fully 1,0001. a year, when all is told. Turn again to the expense the port has been put to by the jobbery attempted in the Birken head Dock Bill of last Session. This scheme was thrown out of Parliament, and the Dock Committee must be proceeding with the works on plans condemned by their own engineers, or on plans not sanctioned by law, and in direct opposition to those laid down in the Act, in which the mode of construction is clearly specified. The defeat of this Bill, then, leaves the shipowner without the increased accommodation required to preserve the trade of the Mersey, or our dock celebrities to make peace with the House of Commons, at an additional cost to the Rate- payers, We might here allude to the fact that the inha bitants are paying rates for the Rivington Pike water before any member, with the exception of Mr. HOLT, can venture to say when we shall receive the water in return for our money. This is a corpo rate abuse which is without a parallel in the history of municipal corruption. We have now to supply wrought iron pipes where cast iron were thought to have been sufficiently strong ! The difference in strength of these two materials does not appear to have been discovered until the water was wanted, or some of our large wrought iron workers probably suggested the propriety of trying them. But we might go on in this strain to the end of our paper, and still find something to bring to light—the smoke nuisance question, with its cushionings, favourit isms, and twaddling evasions of the main points at issue, both in a scientific and sanitary point of view—for example ; but the summary we have given will suffice to show what the Council, as a body, really are. And that the Burgesses are morally bound to see these abuses put a stop to, by rejecting every candidate, who asks for their votes, while they know that his name has been mixed up directly or indirectly in the schemes, jobs, and juggles which we have seen going on in the Council Chamber and Corporate Committee rooms within the last three years.

NEXT WEEK THE DAY'S NEWS IT is now only one month until the Burgesses of Liverpool will be called upon to exercise the municipal franchise, and return duly qualified representatives to fill up the vacancies which, according to the Municipal Corporation Act, take place on the Ist of November. Situated as the Borough of Liverpool now is, we take leave very respectfully to impress upon the Burgesses, the serious responsibility which rests upon them, relative to the return of the most competent en lightened gentlemen who can be induced to accept the office. The functions of the Members of the Liverpool Town Council are daily increasing in extent and importance, and the influence of the Council's proceedings upon the comfort, the pros perity, and the material well - being of the public, is becoming more apparent. We, therefore, appeal to the electors to lay aside their minor differences and petty jealousies, and each strive with the other how the common prosperity of the borough can best be promoted by securing the return of gentlemen who do not walk into the Council Chamber to promote some private interest, but merely to legislate for the common prosperity Of all. Two great questions have yet to be taken up and decided upon. The history of the past plainly demonstrates that that monstrous project, the Rivington Pike, must be reconsidered, and steps taken to relieve the ratepayers, as far as possible, from the permanency of a tax, the amount of which will be unbearable. Our gas grievances are still unmoved ; the late compromise is unsatisfactory, and we repeat that,we still have just grounds to complain of the cost of gas in Liverpool, its defective quality, and the injustice to which consumers are yet subject. These, with other matters, bearing upon the sanitary and social progress of the Bur gesses must be early considered and properly adjusted. As yet there are few, if any, symptoms of contests in the Wards. The next week, how ever, will in all probability bring out some candi dates for Municipal honours, when we shall have an opportunity of returning to the subject. Next in importance to the Town Council is the constitution and proceedings of the Select Vestry. Yesterday the usual fortnightly meeting was held at the Workhouse, when a scene of religious bickering took place, which arose out of the Work house Committee rec ommending that Miss Mary l‘vlpily be appointed a nurse in the surgical sa u r r d. Our neighbour in Lord-street, Mr. Satchell, led the opposition, simply because the candidate in question was a Roman Catholic. Such rampant bigotry as Mr. Satchell displayed, may be gathered from our report of the proceedings. It is really MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING.
