The peculiar difficulties of the times require the exercise of the strictest economy in every branch of the national expenditure, in which local taxes occupy a very conspicuous place. Great, if not convulsive, changes must take place in the mate rial condition of the realm, and whatever property the Corporations of England now possess, ought to be husbanded with unprecedented frugality, as it is the last they will ever receive by Royal grants, charters, or even purchase, from the Crown. We shall have no more local privileges conferred upon any municipality, and Liverpool will be fortunate, indeed, if she should succeed in defeating the attack made on her Passing Tolls and Town Dues. Looking, therefore, en tirely beyond the circle of party strife, we feel no hesitation in calling on men of all shades of politics to step forward and endeavour to put a stop to the alienation of any portion of the Borough Estate for an inadequate price. The Ratepayers need not care who gets the lands the Corporation have to•dispose of, but they are bound to see that they are not sold for less than their value, or given away by, or to, any man who will not bid openly at a public sale for that which he desires to purchase. Now, it is well known that the Corporation have paid as much as 8/. per square yard for land, within one cartage length of the Prince's dock, and that they should now offer land, equally well situated, and in'perpetuity, for 2/.los the square yard, does certainly appear most unpardonable. Only a few months since, one of the:ptincipal movers in this affair induced the Council to sanction the purchase of a large piece of land on the other side of the river, required for a spoil bank, or space for the deposit of 'earth, for 2/. 10s. per square yard. Now, if land was worth fifty shillings at that out of plot of. ground in great Howard-street—the centre of all the trade and traffic of Liverpool—must be worth something more. Taking into account the relative advantages of the two sites, the only con clusion to be arrived at is, that the price paid at Birkenhead was extravagantly high, and a glaring waste of the 'corporate funds, or that the ground in Great Howard-street is to be disposed for little more than a nominal consideration. The worthy Alderman who induced the Council to purchase the Birkenhead land will probably explain this palpable anomaly on Wednesday next. In the meantime the wards are organising , and will make such an appeal to the Lords of the Treasury, as will convince the Govern ment that such wholesale jobbery cannot be perpetrated in these days, with that cool oom posure and brazen effrontery which have marked the whole of this dispicable transaction. THE CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated most distinctly, in the House of Commons on Friday, that " it was not the intention of the PALMERSTON " Cabinet to propose any measure for altering the " Bank Charter Act of 1844." This announcement will enable the commercial classes to see their way with regard to the " value of money" for the next nine or twelve months, and it fixes the Govern ment with a direct responsibility as to the future of trade. We can have no ruinous contractions of the circulation—no drains of bullion, panics, nor famines, which may starve commerce, and famish industry, for which the Whig Administration will not be answerable to the community. When moments of great trial do arrive, we shall know where to direct our reproaches. The Opposition, both in and out of Parliament, will understand how to appreciate the hardihood of the advocates of usurious discounts. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S speech also shows to the world that the Bank of England is viewed by the present Administration more in the light of a political machine, than a great and independent commercial banking institution. Sir CORNEWALL LEWIS did not allude to the moderate rates of interest the manufacturers and traders generally were compelled to pay for money to meet war taxation, the unrestricted freedom of the circulation, nor did the right honourable Baronet venture to compare the rates of interest demanded in this country, with those at which the Con tinental producers have obtained accommodation for the last two years. The PALMERSTON Cabinet believe that the Bank Charter Act gives us the command of large reserves of bullion, a desideratum which could not be obtained by any other means, but the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has proved to the satisfaction of every man of ordinary understand ing that the most paltry political necessity—leaving the varied movements of commerce and wants of industry wholly out of the question—is sufficient to drain us of our gold, and render the cardinal virtues of their philosophical theory so many nullities. Sir CORNEWALL LEWIS does not soar high into the regions of figures, or dive deeply into the running waters of the ceaseless current of mercantile life, to illustrate his conclusions. He speaks of the Bank as though it were an obscure branch of the ExOle quer over which ho presides, ani by a little :utdition and substraction he satisfies himself that the Bank Charter Act answers its purposes admirably ! And as we shall not be over-taxing the patience or arithmetical knowledge of the reader by citing the right honourable gentleman's array of millions and minor totals, we will give them :—" The " remained to be paid. That amount would " probably be paid by two remittances of 200,000/. " each, and the remainder by bills. It might also "be anticipated that the demand for the corn " missariat chest would be less, and altogether it " was now likely that the amount of bullion " would increase rather than diminish." There is not one word about trade in all this, the CHANCEL LOR of the EXCHEQUER'S object being simply to show that although making money dear, does lower the prices of our products, we cannot keep the gold at home when an Ally wants a small loan, or we have a commissariat chest to supply. It would have been impossible to have put into Sir CORNEWALL LEWIS'S mouth, arguments more completely damnatory of the very measure he was defending. Notwithstanding, that the rates of dis count varied from six to ten per cent., all through the period to which the above figures relate, still it is proved that we lost 730,0001., in addition to all the bullion we imported within the four months. Our receipts of gold average fully 1,000,0001. per month—we have seen the average set down at 1,500,0001. per month—but taking the lowest estimate, it is quite clear that we have, according to the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER'S statistics, parted with 4,730,0001. of precious metal, between the sth of January and the grd of May. Who, then, will pretend to say that the Bank Charter Act of 1844 does attain the sole object of its authors, and Whig supporters ? It does not prevent the gold leaving the country, but, on the contrary, it has produced the heaviest drains ever known, if we take into account the extraordinary rapidity with which the largo increased quantity of gold produced is swept away from our shores. With all the bullion Australia and Cali fornia have added to the world's stock, the drains felt in England are heavier and more fre quent than ever. And yet Ministers decline to make any change in the law, with a degree of pertinacity, peculiar to men full of faith in the soundness of their dogmas, and honest convictions, as to the unanswerable arguments they adduce in their support. Time must, however, bring this commercial nation back to reason on this most important subject. That system which forces " a fall " generally in the prices of all commodities," in the production of which the industry and capital of the country are employed, cannot be much longer maintained. If the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had entered on a recapitulation of the losses sustained in trade, by .making money artificially dear, and all commodities proportion ably cheap, in a vain effort to keep 730,0001. at home, we think the popular voice would have been able to decide whether the Empire is to be longer scourged or not by the Bank Charter Act. If our Finance Minister had estimated the advance of interest for the last two years and a half at three per cent., and the reduction which has been forced upon producers and the holders of produce, at twenty per cent., where would he have found the profit of the merchant or the income of the trader? With a political or State engine ruling the prices of commodities, it is impossible to estimate the depreciation which all classes are exposed to, in addition to the variations in price, which are inhe rent in trade itself. It matters not what changes the arbitrary laws of supply and demand may bring about, if gold leaves the Bank of England the State machine is resorted to to superadd a political depression in the value of every man's substance ; and this is the system which Sir CORNEVALL LEWIS tells a mercantile people, it is not the intention of the Government to alter. EVENING EDITION tar An Evening Edition of the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES is now Published every Afternoon, at Three o'clock, containing the Markets, together with all the News of the Day, up to the hour of going to Press. TUESDAY, MAY 13, 1856 WE must once more direct the attention of the Ratepayers to the Borough Gaol land job,) and we need scarcely offer our readers an apology for our constant recurrence to the subject. It is a matter which has nothing to do with politics or party. It is purely a moral question, in which all classes of the community are interested alike. No man who advocates the union of Church and State would like to see the town stripped of its lawful inheritance, or left without a respectable rental wherewithal to carry on the work of local improve ment, and cut down those municipal burdens which bear so heavily on all town property. No Conservative, Tory, or Protectionist would wish to be considered as following the lead of men who use them for mere personal or private ends. Liberals, true or professional, Radicals, whether wise in their generation, or mad with the complicity for which this age is becoming daily more notorious, can have no sympathy with those who say, " by my acts I will show the world that •` there are no bounds to my cupidity !" All right minded men must agree that these things are not to he tolerated. IPSZTII3III4 TIIIIIB.-LIVERPO47'7_ " bullion in the Bank of England at the conclusion " of the week ending on the sth of January last " was 10,537,0001., at the end of the week terminat " ing the 20th of April it was 9,79.3,000/., and on " the 3rd of May it was 0,807,0001., so that there " had been a diminution of 730,0001. Now, one " great cause of that diminution had been the " payments rendered necessary by the Turkish Loan, and of that loan about 650,0001. still MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING There has been no change in the tone of the Cotton Market to-day, and only a moderate busi ness has been done at previous prices. The sales amount to 8,000 bales, and include 2,000 taken for speculation and export. A moderate amount of business has been done in the Share Market, and a lively feeling prevailed.

Very ordin ary New Orleans left off at 95 fr, lower qualities 89 fr, and inferior at from 81 fr. These sales of the week comprised a total of 6,907 bales chiefly New Orleans, and the arrivals amount to 6,332 bales. The Stock on hand on the 9th May was 36,307 lb against 95,028 ditto at the corresponding period in 1855. The arrivals of cotton by sea at the port were 40,517 lb since the commencement of the year, of which 34,428 were from the United States, in twenty-three vessels, being the same number as last year. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING I was right in my supposition that the French government would not push the Belgian Press affair to extremities. lam informed that it has already formally determined on letting the matter drop, and that it will make an announcement to that effect in the Moniteur the day after to-morrow. But as it must save appearances, it will, I hear, say that as the Moniteur Beige contains a rectification of the late speech of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, which deprives the speech of much of its sting (not those words of course, but something to that effect), and as the -Belgian • government has undertaken to put the law in force against papers which may out rage the Emperor, the French government is satisfied. And it will, perhaps, add that nothing was ever farther from its intention than to think of compelling Belgium to modify its constitution, or shackle its press. The text of the speech of Count Cavour in the Sardinian Parliament, and of the note which he presented to the French and English Ministers at the sitting of the Peace Congress, have created a profound sensation here. They are considered a clear proof that Italy is on the very brink of a mighty convulsion—and they are re garded almost as a direct invitation to her oppressed population to rise in revolt. Combined with the sympathy manifested for Italy by England and France, and especially by the former, the effect they must create on the inflammable populations of Italy can hardly fail to be immediate and terrible. A German paper says that the English Cabinet has issued a circular to the different governments of Europe, containing details on the Peace Con gress, and its views as to the future. It would be well for some M.P. to ascertain in Parliament whether this circular exists, and if so, to obtain a copy of it. The German journal says it is important. The Emperor of Austria has given the Cross of the Order of Francis Joseph to M. Granier de Cassagnac, the well-known writer in the Constitu tionnel, for having, according to a letter from the Austrian Minister in this city, employed his pen in defence of order, peace, and an intimate alliance between France and Austria. The Emperor and Empress left the Tuileries to day for St. Cloud, where they will reside during the summer, with the exception of a trip to Biarritz. This, if I mistake not, is the first time the Empress has been out since her accouche nzent. LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

Her Majesty on alighting, was received by the com mander in chief, Vice. Admiral Sir George Seymour, K.C.8., G.C.H., the Lieutenant-Governor, Major-General Breton, Admiral Superintendent Martin, Captain Super intendent Dacres, C. 8., Commander Pechell, Lieut. Brandredtb, Messrs. Pinhorn and Davies, of Clarence yard, and a guard of Honour of the Royal Marines, with the band of that corps. Her Majesty immediately embarked on board the Fairy royal yacht, where she was received by Captain the hon. Joseph Denman, and Captain W. Crispin. All the men-of-war in harbour and at Spithead, were dressed in colours, and on the royal standard being hoisted at Clarence-yard, it was saluted by the Victory flagship, and the Illustrious , training ship, Captain Harris. On the Fairy going on t of harbour, the royal standard at her main was again saluted by the garrison from the ramparts. In a minute afterwards another magnificent salute was fired by the fleet at Spithead, the crews manning the yards and cheering her Majesty as she passed. After a beautiful run across, the Queen reached Osborne at a quarter past six o'clock. ACCIDENTAL DEATH.—Jeremiah Gunne, died yesterday in the Royal Infirmary, in consequence of a compound fracture of the thigh. SITDDEN DEATH.—Mary Millar, aged sixty years, was found dead in bed yesterday morning, at 1 Court, Willaloo Park. Inquests will be held in these cases this day. DEATH FROM ALLEGED VIOLENCE.—A sailor named Kapel, belonging to the American ship Great Western, died in the Northern Hospital yesterday, where he had been confined since the 3rd instant, from illness brought on by alleged ill-usage on the voyage. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—EIiza Eaton, who resides in 8 Court, Eldon-street, was brought before Mr. Mansfield yesterday morning, charged with having attempted to cut her throat. It appeared she had some quarrel, with a relative, and whilst in a state of excitement made the attempt, but as she was at once seized, the wound was not a serious one. She was remanded for a week.

RAPESEED : A small parcel of Bombay, at Ms. LINSEED : 400 bags Calcutta, at 52s per qr CATTLE : The value of beef was rather more than that of last week, but not at all as much as the smallness of the supply led the sellers to expect. The trade was slow, and some quantity was left unsold. Sheep were a dull sale, at last week's prices for the best ; middling and inferior lower. Lambs increase in supply, with a steady demand and price. Beasts, 1,500 ; sheep and lambs, 9,000. LONDON. As usual, at Whitsuntide, business by public sale is sus pended,and by private contract the tranFa,ction3 are few and unimportant. Common Bengal rice has been sold at Ds to Os 6d ; and cargo, at 8s ; cleaned is also in fair demand. TALLOW; The market is steady to-day, at the following quotations : —Town tallow, 163 nett cash ; Petersburg Y C on the spot, 46s to 46s 3d ; May to June, 458 9d ; October to December, 45s 9d to 465. Bottouox Hot': Messrs. Pattenclen and Smith report that there is still a good demand for fine and middling bops, at fully late prices. METROPOLITAN CATTLE : Although the number of beasts is not quite so large as on Monday last, prices aro considerably lower, and a clearance cannot be effected. The supply of sheep is very much smaller, yet they cannot he all sold, even at our reduced quotations. The heavy trade at the dead market causes a limited demand in all kinds of stock. Good lambs and calves are selling quite us well as of late. From Germany and Holland there are 90 sheep; Scotland, 740 beasts, and 140 from Ireland. CORN : There was a fair quantity of wheat on sale from Essex this morning ; that from Kent was only moderate, nor were the offers per railway considerable. Fine qualities sold readily, at fully last week's prices ; other sorts were dull, but not cheaper. Foreign wheat and flour underwent no alteration, but the demand was not great. Barley dull sale, and must be quoted is lower for grinding sorts. Fine oats fully main tained their value, with a good sale, but inferior were rather cheaper tha❑ otherwise. Beans and peas sold on much the same terms as last week. YESTERDAY'S MARKETS. BELFAST CORN : A very small supply of wh eat, oats, and oatmeal at this day's market, without any change i n p r i ces since Friday. CORK BUTTER : lsts, 130 s ; 2nds, 1283; 3rds, 112 s ; 4ths, 96s ; sths, 90s ; 6ths, 75s ; firkins, 9445. DUNDALK CORN : White wheat, 40s to 42s ; red do, 38s to 40s ; oats, 13s 6d to 14s ; barley, 20s 6d to 225. FOREIGN MARKETS, The corn trade commercial advices have be en rece i ve d f rom Taganrog to April Ist, and Odessa, 24th. At Odessa little business has been done in corn, prices demanded being too high. At Taganrog large purchases of con have been made, at an advance. All the vessels, excepting those of M. Gopccvich, are obliged to keep quarantine at Kaffa before they pass the straits: This being Whit Sunday, it is observed as a grand holiday by the Parisians. A vast multitude of them have been to the horse-races at the Champ de Mars. The Vicomte de Talon, who figured with such eclat in the English horse-races in the Crimea, was, I hear, present at them, and was heartily welcomed. He only arrived in Paris from the Crimea on Friday. Though a young man of ancient family, old title, and large property, he went out to the Crimea as a simple soldier, and returns with the grade of a sergeant ! Fancy an English nobleman doing the same thing. PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING, The sales of cotton at Havre during the week ending yesterday were 4866 bales, and the impor tations 6332 bales. Prices for the inferior qualities underwent a decline of lfr. compared with last week's prices. MISS EMMA STANLEY. -We understand that this talented artiste, has been engaged by Mr. Niblo, of New York, for six months, at a salary of £6O per week. Miss Stanley will take her departure for the United States, by the Atlantic, which is to sail on the 14th of June. THE ALBATROSS.—The town of Caher has for the last two evenings been the scene of great rejoicing, on the re turn of William Sargint, Esq., and his amiable lady, and sister-in-law, from Van Dieman's Land, where they have for nearly the last four years resided. Nothing could equal the cordial reception displayed by all parties in welcoming to his native land one of a family who, from local ties, and generous sympathy with the people, make them general favourites with all classes of the community. The Albatross, in which Mr. Sargint took his voyage home, he describes as a vessel of superior character, as to sailing accommodation uouirucb. Tlie cultsino was lit every way worthy of the generosity of the owners (Messrs. Gibbs, Bright and Co., of Liverpool), who did not omit a single delicacy required; and the gentlemanly deportment of the captain and his officers was the theme of general admiration of the passen gers. The vessel put into Cro3khaven, where she landed her passengers for the south of Ireland.—Clonrnel Chronicle, May 10. WAVERTRRE BOARD OF HEALTH.—The usual monthly meeting of the board of health of this locality was held last night at the board-room, The Rev. Mr. Badnall, the chair man, presided. The following members were present : Messrs. Chaffer, Picton, Rishton, Geddes, Gore, Bradburn, Clarke, Davis, and Halhead. The minutes of the last month's meeting having been read and confirmed, Mr. Rishton called attention to a patent production for the purpose of filtering water, and two samples of water were produced from the tank, and the liquid of "Higgs' Patent" was introduced into one, and the result was highly satis factory. as the water soon became clear. Cheques for the amounts of certain accounts, that had passad the finance committee, were then drawn. A notice had been served on Mr. Fisher of Grange-terrace, to pave certain portions of premises there, and that gentleman attended, and stated that the property was private, and that he was going to erect a gate to prevent any one encroaching on it. The subject was ordered to be taken into consideration. The usual routine business was then transacted, and the board adjourned. THE SHORTEST PASSAGES ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.—The Collies steamer Baltic made the shortest passage from Liverpool to this port in 1854, leaving Liverpool June 28th, at 1 P.m.., and arriving in this port July Bth, at 1.15 A.m. The passage was made in nine days, seventeen hours and fifteen minutes, and up to the past month was the shortest on record. The feat has been surpassed by the Cunard steamer Persia, on her late voyage. She left here for Li verpool April 2nd, at three P.M., and arrived out ApXll2, at 840 A.M,, making the outward passage in nine days, twelve hours and seven minutes, or four hours and eight minutes less time than the Baltic. And it must be borne in mind that the steamers now go several degrees south of their direct summer course. The shortest eastern passage before the Persia's was made by the Arabia, of the Cunard line, in 1853. She left here for Liverpool June 15th, at 12.35 r.m., and arrived on the 25th, at 10.42 A.m., or nine days seventeen hours and seven minutes. The Persia left Liverpool for this port at 10.25 A.M. on Saturday April 19th, and arrived at the Lightship at fif teen minutes past nine P.M. on the 28th. Next morning she came up under easy steam to the city in one hour thirty-five minutes, making the western passage in nine days, sixteen hours and fifty eight minutes, so that the Persia has, thus far, surpassed all the other steamers of both lines in speed, with the disadvantage of crossing the Atlantic two or three degrees south of the usual route sailed by them. Next summer she will cross the Atlantic inside of nine days.—New York Tribune. GALVANISM AND GREY HAlR.—Although grey hair has been thought honourble from the most remote ages, yet there are few who would not prefer that their hair should always retain its natural colour ; this, however, has been hitherto considered quite out of the reach of possibility. But a most ingenious application of electro-galvanism in the shape of combs, hair and flesh brushes, bids fair to overcome all difficulties on this point. An illustrated pamphlet, issued by Mr. Herring, of 32, Basinghall-street, entitled " Why hair has become grey, and its remedy," will prove to the reader that the body is a series of natural galvanic arrange mens, that the loss of galvanic power in the skin of the head is the cause of the colouring matter not rising into the tubes of the hair which then is left colourless,and consequently appears white, and that by artificially restoring this power, the colouring matter again begins and continues to rise, and thereby restoring the natural colour. This theory is both feasible and reasonable. Great skill, both philosophical and mechanical, has been exercised in the construction and perfection of the above named combs and brushes. The comb consists of ab gut fifty pairs of platina and zinc plates placed in an ivory tube, which forms the back the teeth are cut out of two pieces of silvered metal, fas tened by ivory rivets through, and metallic contact pre vented by a veneer of ivory ; the galvanic current is con veyed from the battery in the back to the teeth by two silver loops, and the moment the teeth are brought in con tact with the skin, the circuit is completed and the current flows through it; no shock is produced, but the current is constant and certain. Metallic brushes are even a greater novelty than combs, which have before been manufactured from metal. They are of all textures, hard or soft, from the hardest description of brush to a softness that resembles the pile of velvet; in the back is inserted a battery, which is brought into metallic contact with the steel bristles in the front, which conveys the galvanic current to the skin of the head, and produces a peculiar friction that is not only agreeable but most healthful, and may be used with perfect safety. The flesh brushes are similar in construction to the hair brushes, but their metallic bristles are perfection. They are beautifully soft and fine, and yet so elastic, that the effect on the skin is, what has been frequently but hitherto unsuccessfully attempted, viz, ,effective friction, without inconvenience. They are a perfect galvanic machine, peculiarly adapted for the use of those who are suffering from rheumatism, deuralgis, tic doloureux, for which dis eases there is no remedy so effective as galvanism properly applied.—Globe.
