The patronage and support hitherto accorded NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, has rendered it necessary for the Proprietors to enter into •arrangements for its speedy Permanent Enlarge ment to Double its present size. Until this is i efrected, Double Numbers will be issued whenever a pressure of news, or an influx of advertisments, shall render it necessary. In making this an nouncement, the Proprietors, grateful for the flat tering, encouragement they have already received, avail themselves of the opportunity to state that they will spare neither pains nor expense to render the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES the most accurate and earliest authority upon all matters of news— Political, General, Monetary, Commercial, and Maritime. The new arrangements, when com pleted, will impose upon the Proprietors the necessity of ceasing to supply extra Slips to Subscribers, but no increase will be made in the rate of subscription, which is now 3Ss. per annum. NORTHERN DAILY TIMES OFFICE, 19, South John Street. kortlitru firm TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1856. THE DAY'S NEWS That unnatural and un-English crime, stabbing, Is, we regret to say, still very prevalent in Liver pool, notwithstanding the severity of the sentences passed in such cases by the Judges at the two or three last assizes. It will be seen, by reference to our police reports to-day, that two men were yesterday brought before the magistrates on the charge of stabbing, viz , John Henry Wilson, for stabbing a young man, named Thomas Harrison, on the 4th September last, and a foreign sailor, for stabbing a youth about the same time. In the former case, the man Wilson was sent for trial, and in the latter, the accused was remanded until the services of an interpreter could be obtained, although the evicence adduced clearly proved his guilt. Our police intelligence also contains the particu lars of an investigation into a case of ',embezzle ment. A clerk was proceeded against by his employer, for misappropriating his money, but as it appeared that the prosecutor had forgiven the prisoner for having embezzled sums both before and after the identical amount in question, the magistrates dismissed the case. The Birkenhead Temperance Society held their annual tea party and meeting last night. Lawrence Hepworth, Esq., M.P., presiled. The only new , novel, or striking feature in the proceedings, was that portion of the Chairman's speech referring to gingerbeer and other cordials. He says that for the future the Temperance Societies should pro hibit the drinking of " pop," as it is an intoxicating beverage. The Right Hon. Gentleman, as a member of Parliament, should know all these things. As for ourselves, we must confess we are a to enlighten our readers on the peculiar properties of the said pop? , that there is a movement on f oot We perceive to erect a monument in Sheffield to the memory of the fallen Crime an Miss Nightingale heroes. has been requested to lay the foundation stone, but she with " real pain" " declines the honour:l which the Sheffield blades would thurst upon her. She is, however, " with the men of Sheffield, whenever they execute their proposed plan," and to show that she is in earnest, has remitted £2O towards the fund being collected for the purpose. Mr. Spurgeon has re-appeared at the Park-street Chapel, Southwark, London. On Sunday after noon he resumed the occupancy of his own pulpit. The chapel was crowded to excess. He briefly alluded to the Surrey Gardens catastrophe. He could not entertain the thought that there was any intention of the instigators of the panic to murder their fellow creatures, whose lives were sacrificed on that melancholy occasion ; but, if such was their intention, then might God forgive them as he did. It should, however, not stop him; he should preach at the Surrey Gardens again. God was with him, and who should be against him. In the course of his remarks he took occasion to say that God would overrule that °vont for good. The disbanded soldiers of the Anglo-German Legion are a sad lot. They have given the police a good deal of trouble wherever they have happened to be, and murder, in more in stances than one, has been laid at their door. On Saturday night another of their diabolical deeds was corn_ mitted. A disbanded Jager, in a quarrel with an Englishman, in Commercial-street, Spitalfields, London, deliberately cut—with a knife—a person named Mole, inflicting a terrible gash, extending from the top to the bottom of the face. A police man came up to his assistance, and the German turned on him, and inflicted two very serious wounds—one on the left side of the breast, the other on the thigh. The assailant was ultimately captured, and the wounded men taken to an hos pital. Yesterday the police officer was in a highly dangerous condition, but the other man was not in imminent danger. Our obituary to-day ; contains the announcement of the death of Sir John Jervis, Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, which took place on Sunday ; also the demise of the Earl of Bandon, on Friday last. The age of the former was fifty four, and that of the latter seventy one years. Our Continental advices are not of much import ance. Baron Brenier, and, Mr. Petre, the French and British Neapolitan Ambassadors, arrived at Marseilles on Saturday evening. Naples was tranquil ; but the Government had . taken extraordinary measures (of precaution) on the day of the departure of the Ambassadors. According to letters from St. Petersburg, written in a spirit hostile to the English and Austrian pretensions, it is probable that Russia, assuming that the question of-Bolgrad is the only one which gives rise to any serious difficulty, is prepared to make concessions on that point, which will take away from Austria and England any excuse for remaining in their positions. In fact, it is repre sented that they have as good as promised to withdraw at once, if Bolgrad be ceded to Moldavia. We have advices which state that on the 23rd of October it was definitely settled at Constantinople between the Porte, England, and Austria that the occupation of the Black Sea and Danubian Prin. cipalities should be prolonged. From Constantinople we learn that an tatinurtum from England has been forwarded to the Shah of Persia; the Indian squadron was to sail in the beginning of October ; and that the capture of Bushire was considered inevitable. Notwithstand ing the efforts of England, the Persian army was actively pressing the siege of Herat. It was forti fying the environs, of which it had obtained possession after having defeated the Affghans, 6,000 of whom had surrendered. Madrid accounts state the Gazette of that city contradicts the rumours relative to the conferences which were said to have taken place between the Queen and the Marquis of Viluma, and declares that the government will respect the contracts for sales of the national property made before the decree of suspension. The payment of the approaching half-yearly dividend is assurod. We pLiblisla details of the West India news, also intelligence from the West Coast of South America, in to-day's impression, to which we would invite our readers attention. ther another Inter national Congress has not been abandoned. The only thing that remains to be decided is where the diplomatic gathering shall meet. The Emperor NAPOLEON expects it to be held at Paris, and he, certainly, does need some idle diversion for the public mind of his country more than any other European ruler ; and this is the only feasible reason which can be assigned for the emphatic tone in which the Court of France speaks on the subject. But to these conclaves, sitting with closed doors in a foreign capital. the people of this country must be most strenously opposed. Our Statesmen are not yet sufficiently independent of Parlia mentary restraint and popular favour to presume to take upon themselves to deal with the moral and mate rial interests of Great Britain in secret Councils held beyond our shores. It may be wise policy to uphold the reigning dynasty of France, as a check to the demagogues of the Continent; but it is most unwise and dangerous to humiliate England and make her appear a second or third class Power in the eyes of the world. This is, certainly, not the way to increase the number of her allies, to give strength to the cause of Constitutional Government, and revive the lost confidence of other nations in our political power and foresight. We have no right to place reliance on the wisdom and success of a second Paris Congress, after the signal failure which has attended the promises and labours of the first. lly idea of calling t The position of Europe is much worse than it was in April last. The chronic disorders, both social and political, of the Continent are spreading rapidly, and the general confusion and alarm appears to be approaching nearer to the culmina ting point daily. Russia, the hot-bed of intrigue, is no longer hemmed in by foreign broadsides and bayonets. Her heralds of discord and turmoil are again scattered widely over the face of every country, counselling the fool, the knave, and the Reac tionist. Austria presumes upon her advice. Prussia would attack Switzerland in obedience to her orders. Naples, relying on her succour, continues to outrage humanity, and set England and France at defiance. Italy stands on the brink of a volcano, Spain has become a little Muscovite barbarian, and swindles her British creditors. With such a state of things before us, is it prudent, is it digni fied, for Great Britain to be playing second to any Power? We may appreciate the value of the French alliance very highly, but we must not lose sight of the importance attached by others to ap pearances. We have just lost the most valuable sea - board of the Euxine, with its 2,000,000 Circassians, as customers, by the shuffling at Conferences, and we may be sure that some further surrender of rights and interest will be demanded from us in another gathering, where Constitutional States will be in a minority. Publicity might secure us some thing in such cases ; but this is determinedly for bidden. The mischief is done, as in the case of Circassia; before we can protest against it. But that which was done so recently as April last, with impunity, cannot be attempted with safety now. Europe cannot be placed in the position she was in seven months ago, by a flourish of the diplo matic quill; and our great study should be to keep ) out of political engagements, which the events of to-morrow may compel us to abandon witli greater precipitancy than we may have entered into them. The Emperor NAPOLEON will scarcely ask the British creditors of Spain to forego their dividends, because the Queen ISABELLA thinks proper to become an absolute ruler, and to raise such butchers as O'DONNELL and NARVAEZ to power ? He will not expect the Papal world, to say nothing E NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, of Protestant Europe, to submit to the atrocities of Bousa, and the bondage of Italy ? He will not have us abandon the Swiss to the mercies of the great league of despots, whom Prussia so ably represents, or to place Great Britain under obliga tions which cannot be distinctly defined in an ordinary diplomatic correspondence, which can be brought before the Parlia ment and people of this country in the usual way ? Never was there a nation who had a greater contempt for petty intermeddling in the affairs of other States, and that had more reason to dread wholesale interference in unfathomable complexities than the British have at this moment. A PALMERSTON Cabinet would do every thing by diplomatic councils, but the instinct of a Premier is not at all times in tune with the opinion of the times or the institutions of a State. We can make every allowance for the actual condition of Prance, and ought at all times to lend her the most generous aid in our power. But we must not forego our dignity and indeperidence, and allow it to go forth to the world that we cannot move without the sanction of this or that potentate, and are under the control of any other Power upon earth. We, in our dependencies alone, have more than three times the population of all 'he Russias, six times that of France, and four times more than Prussia and Austria put together—the whole verging on the bloom and vigour of civilisa- tion These are the facts which should be sent forth on the four winds of Heaven to counteract the mistaken notions that have gone abroad. They should also teach us how to respect ourselves, and maintain that bold and independent position we have so long held as the guardians of toleration and the champions of humanity. We may not have an ALEXANDER to lead armies, but we can command hosts to send forth into every land and on every sea. A NAPOLEON might do wonders with our means, and bone and sinew ; but we are not dependant on any nation for their countenance and direction. To disabuse the minds of surrounding countries on this head, we must re-assume the lofty position which belongs to Great Britain. If Whitehall is amazed at the magnitude of Continental preten sions, no other portion of England is at all con cerned about the large things we hear. The map of the world and the last census of the universe bring us vast consolation. They breathe of overtowering strength, and, with a less peaceably disposed race, they might produce a great deal of swagger and defiance. If we did not abhor war and its crimes, they might make us very trouble some, if not dangerous to others. We might hurl 500,000 gallant Sepoys against as many popular Cossacks, exterminate the Austrian Croats with our Sikhs, scour Prussia with our Colonial Riflemen, and still have Saxons and Celts left to defend the glorious Constitutionalism of Europe. We have the hearts and hands for great enter prises, and the heads are growing apace. The great man of such a remarkable age cannot be far off. His shadow has reached the earth. We see it in our material progress ; and when he appears on the political stage, or in war, diplomatic confer ences, or in the British Senate, he will restore the lost balance of power in Europe by his nod, and make despotism quail at the sound of the truth. Until the coming man does arrive then, let us keep ourselves free from the childish entanglements of diplomacy, and'endeavour, by a manly bearing, to avert from our country and our children the penalties of a fallen position. EVERY panic which occurs in these days, is im_ mediately followed by the sudden failure of some great mercantile firm. The pressure of last year brought down one of the first shipbuilding con_ cerns in the world, and the high discounts and scarcity of money which have borne so heavily on the commercial classes within the last six weeks, have led to the stoppage of one of our greatest engineering establishments. In both cases there was rather a superabundance of business pressing in upon them. Large amounts of money were sunk in plant. Heavy contracts were drawing rapidly towards completion. More hands might have been employed. Full wages paid. There were plenty of valuable securities in their iron safes, but they were all of no use. The circulation was hastily contracted. Taxation was swallowing up the available means of trade. The CHANCELLO R of the EXCHEQUER was holding tight all the money paid into the Government coffers. Men, with any amount of bona fide security, and resisting an increased demand for their experience, skill, and industry, could not get an advance of 100,0001 They must close, shut up their workshops, and send their hands adrift, and call their creditors together. This is a very encouraging state of things for all those to contemplate who are at present struggling against the currency screw. The Bullionist's system is, however, beginning to - work intelligibly. Men of business now discover where the shoe pinches. Predictions, which were once scouted as theo retical rubbish, are now sanctifi ed by the bitter anguish of experience. As long as men have a balance at their banker's, they can go on, but the moment they require a little temporary accommo dation, they must pay a rate of interest, which, if paid, would leave them open to a charge of fraud towards their trade creditors—or stop. Now, if the principals only, suffered in these instances, it would be bad enough in all conscience. But the evils extend to three or four hundred families of the employed who are thrown out of work with out ceremony. The tradesman suffers from the loss of a large number of working-class customers; and the industrial disorder spreads, like a plague, throughout a wide circ le of the population. The Bullionist cannot deny this. He merely says, " It is very had," and then asks, " How would you " remedy t ? You know you must have gold ? " You cannot expect to pay wages, debts, and taxes " without it; and money, or rather gold, must be "bought and borrowed at the market value, as you "buy every other commodity." But this is simply the language of a Shylock. Gold is a foreign com modity—our soil does not produce it. It does not represent our wealth. We must enrich others before we can possess their bullion. It does not grow with our wants. It disappears with our most crying necessities. We starve ourselves to get it, and it leaves us when we are famishing. Such is the first element of life in this mighty realm We not only leave the multitude to exist upon this shallow and ephemeral foundation, but we abandon the safety of the State for this palpable absurdity. We leave our Empire dependant on a foreign product for breath. The people cannot pay taxes in the produce of their land or the products of their looms. The State's demands must be paid in a foreign metal, which is the most difficult to obtain, and at any sacr ifice of time, skill, and' industry. Native labou r cannot be employed without it, and we despise all real wealth for that bugbear which we do not possess within ourselves ! Is there no self- evident folly, injustice, and mad ness in all this ? We trust our Government with the issuing of hundreds of millions of bonds TUESDAY. and Eichequer Bills, but we limit our confidence to large amounts. We allow them to create any amount of indebtedness by the issue of paper, but we question their honesty when it comes to the creation of a national money wherewith we might supply industry and pay taxes. They cease to be the Ministers of the Crown when we ask them, or they take upon themselves, to issue their paper in the form of currency, or money, more properly speaking. They may put the State stamp on a foreign cotnniodity the corner of a bill of exchange, a receipt or a letter, and it passes current without being depreciated in value. Yet the moment they are required to come to the aid of industry and trade with the legal tender of the State, the whole of our usurers, money jobbers, and gold holders deny the right of the Crown to regulate the quality or quantity of local or taxation money the people shall have. If we must hare foreign gold for all money purposes, it is obviously the duty of the Crown to supply the means with which we are to possess ourselves of that which it requires. The Israelites could not make bricks without straw, and how heartily we declaim against their oppressors for asking them to perform an impos sibility. Few modern rulers would like to share the reputation of PHAROAH, and yet here we are turning the middle of the nineteenth century, buried in the depth of his guilt. The follies of an age are always too glaring to be seen through by their victims. Few enlightened leaders of a nation would be willing to liken himself to an Egyptian King of antiquity. The present time, hoWever, is adding much of Gospel, which closely resembles the Scriptural revelations of earlier and less civilised epochs. We must go to lands a far off for the material by which we are to escape from the hands of the tax-collector, and the bolts, locks, and bars which await the fallen trader. The Crown must not relieve its subjects ; the State may not defend itself, and fly to the highest prerogative of the Sovereign, to succour that national virtue—industry The Ilullionist has the Empire between his finger and thumb. He suspects the Government who protects him, the merchant who feeds him, the tradesman and farmer who pays him rent, the citizen who toils for him, the very house that shelters him, and the land that gave him birth. His heart is wrapped up in a usurious discount market, and his soul yearns for Mammon which is imbedded in the bowels of a distant land. He will hear nothing but what the ghost of ADAM SMITH repeats by rapping on his table, and finds no greater consolation than that of seeing the precious metal he has laboured so hard to obtain flowing from his hands into the lap of his country's ene mies. He will sell it for nothing, which must be the sort of bullion business we are doing at this moment, as we can show no returns for all the gold we are said to be selling, sooner than allow money to remain at a a fair commercial rate of discount. For such men, and for such a system, there remains but one cure—the diffusion of sound information—and a great and general crash, such as some men see impending over our heads at the present hour, and we would simply ask, if our best men are doomed to fail, what is to become, even. tually, of those below them ?

The band of the schools was in attendance, and performed admirably several pieces. - NEW MAYORS.—For Manchester it is expected that Mr. James Watts, and for Salford Mr. Stephen Heelis, the present mayors, will consent to take office a second year, and as this compliment has been usual in most previous cases, their re-election may be regarded as almost certain. FURIOUS DRIVING. —At an early hour yesterday morning a cab was driven at a furious rate down Elliott street. When entering Clayton square the horse fell, an d the cab was almost dashed to pieces. At the time the driver was in an almost helpless state of intoxication, He was immediately apprehended ; and, upon being taken before the magistrates, he was fined ss.;for being drunk. CORONER'S INQJESTS.—HORRIBLE DEATH FROM FIRE. — The deputy coroner held the following inquests :—On the body of Ann Briggs, aged 59, who lodged at 66, Pembroke street. The husband of deceased is at present in Australia, and she was destribed as a very sober person, but was subject to a d'zziness in the head. It would seem that, on Friday night, oue of these fits came on whilst she had a lighted candle in ber hand, and her clothes baying caught fire- she was burnt to death. Verdict accordingly. (The deceased was de scribed as the owner of several houses in town )—On the body of James Ruth, 34 years of age, who was a porter at the Lime street railway station, and who was killed on Saturday under the following circumstances : —There was a bundle of steel about 2 cwt, and some six or seven feet long, and several of the men on the platform were trying their strength at lifting it.

Verdict accidental death.—On the body of a child named Thomas Hyams, aged 2t- years, who dropped dead in his aunt's arms, on Saturday morning, in Mitchell street. Surgeon Kemp, who examined the body, stated that death was the result of disease, brought on by natural causes. Verdict accordingly.—There were two inquests held on young children who were suffocated in bed by accident, but the details were not worth noting. Verdicts of accidental death. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING, The Cotton Market was exceedingly dull today. Holders do not think the American advices so encouraging, and have rather pressed sales. Under these circumstances, prices were barely maintained, though no quotable decline could be The sales were 5,000 bales, mos'ly to the In reference to the Cotton Trade, a cor respondent, under the signature of " Facts," noticed. trade writes More than three months have now elapsed since the first bale of the new crop reached New Orleans, and vet the shipmetiig of Cotton from all Mg - ports in the United States, from Ist September to 22nd October, only reach 19,000 bales, while the consumptive and export demand in Liverpool for American Cotton, amounts monthly to about 150,000 bales. Prices in the States (notwithstanding a decline of one per cent. per lb.) still continues to rule above those current here to-day, while they exceed the last qttotations they then had from this side 'ld. per lb., hence the small business doing for England and the vessels loading which are very few, find great difficulty in completing their cargoes ; we must, Consequently, be very bare of stock in January, and even for the three months after the imports cannot much exceed the trade wants, unless short time is resorted to at once in Manchester. The accounts of the crops, received per Niagara, confirm those previously advised, with the addition of heavy rains prevailing, the estimate range from 2,750,000 bales to 3,000,000 , bales. The stock held in Liverpool on 31st October, was 450,000 bales, to meet a demand for consumption and export till 31st December, say nine weeks, at 46,000 bales per week, or 414,000 bales. The quantity at sea from America is 15,000 bales, and East Indies 100,000 bales, all of which latter cannot arrive for three months: The tone of the Liverpool Share Market was rather better to-day, more business was done, and prices slightly higher than on Saturday.

Continental paper continued scarce, and. with the exception of Paris, nothing had been effected. The following were the quota tions :—London, 30 days, 53 to 53,-1; 90 days, 53k. Paris, 100 days, 528 to 530. Hamburg, 473. Am sterdam, 423. Genoa, 528. We take the following report of the Silk Trade of London from the monthly circular of Messrs. H. Wai thm an & Co , j us t issued : The silk market remained in a state of depression, and prices continued to droop till the public sales, which took place on the 22nd and :23rd ultimo, when an improved de mand sprung up; and although as usual there was scarcely any bidding by auction, still a large business was done by private contract, at a reduction of 2a 6d to 3s per lb from the highest rates in September ; the operations in China silks have embraced about 3,000 bales, leaving scarcely any stock in importer's hands. The China letters were delivered yes terday ; the settlements to date (Shanghae, September 6) had amounted to about 35,000 bales, against 12,000 bales at the same period in 1855, and the shipments to 21,000 bales against 6,100; prices had advanced 15 to 20 dollars per picul, and exchange had risen to 7s 60, giving an en hanced cost to silk of 10 to 12 per cent. The deliveries for the month are 4,233 bales. In Bengal silk the business done during the past month has been very moderate ; the supply coming forward is small. Italian silk : The decline in prices is still immaterial, but scaraely any business has been done. In Brutia and Persian silk there is nothing . to notice. The state of the Tobacco Market during the month of October, is thus referred to in a London circular : In our last we submitted different statements respecting the growing crops of tobacco, based on the supposition of a late and favourable season. These, even, were not very encouraging., but the basis of them has entirely failed, and instead of the season calculated on, there has been one of the earliest and most destructive frosts ever known. The result is, that the quality is very nearly ruined, and the quantity materially lessened, as, though frost still leaves something that passes for tobacco, its injury is not stopped at what it destroys, but extends to that which the planter in his fear cats down before it reaches maturity, and it is now said that one of the smallest crops for the last twenty years will be that of this year. This is the crop to supply us for the year 1858 ; and on considering the present small stocks, it is not very surprising that the news produced a most startling effect on our market. The month opened rather quietly, but in the first ten days there were several parcels of low Western strips sold at about 10d. Then arrived telegraphs of the frost, soon followed by letters, and since then there has been a brisk business at regularly advancing prices. Until the last week , only one importer put his new supplies on the market, and we are still with very few parcels of any kind offering. The sales exceed 2,000 hhds.
