T FIR ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION TO THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES is TWO GUINEAS PER ANNUM. nd Liverpool stare at those )le which used to cause Joseph Hume to blush. Mr. GissoN has, however, staked out the ground the nation - has_ to plough and harrow. That there may be no mistake as to what the manufacttulng districts expect we will give the Manchester weep tottles of the hon. members?. programme at length : The Prime - Minister was the man who had been chosen by the country to carry on a great war- with vigour That war—was. terminated, peace was--happily restored, and they were entitled to know from the noble lord what was the policy which his government:intended to carry out now that he was no longer Minister of War, but the minister of peace. They could not trade upon the war any longer; they must now have an effective and vigorous policy of peaT. The country expected to be relieved at the hands d thenoble lord from the oppressive burdens which had been thrown upon it by the war, and that he would address himself to the great work of Parliament tar); Reform, which the noble member for the city of London was endeavouring to accomplish when he was interrupted by the outbreak of hostilities They must now renew the thread that was broken by the war with Russia. He (Mr. Gibson) was certain he expressed the sentiments of his constituents when he said that they ex- . pected some declaration of, a vigorous reform policy, frdm the, noble lord's government. He, and those with whom he acted, wished, when they visited their friends in the country, to be enabled to tell them that they might fairly support a Government which had pledged itself to carry out Vigorous reforms in all parts of the administration— not merely military reforms, or administrative reforms, or reforms affecting agricultural statistics, but Parlia- mentary reform, as a security for the permanence of any administrative reform that Governments !might in future Unfortunate Liverpool has but one member on whom she can rely in the great work before us, still we must hope to improve on the last election. We have nothing beyond exertion and unanimity, to thank for success on that occasion ; but in sup port of Mr. MILNER GIBSON, or rather the Man chester policy, we may hope to draw succour from the ranks of every rational and enlightened class of the community. If we are to have peace, we cannot - want' a giant army, and if we are not to be crushed by military and naval, estimates, we must carry Parliamentary Reform at the hustings. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUERS Budget will show' us what we have to expect, and on its dis closures must mainly depend the existence of the PALMERSTON Cabinet, and the duration of the pre sent House of Commons.

It is com plained, and we think justly, that the postpone• ment'of one week was too short to allow the Bur gesses to express their opinion for the ;guidance of their representatives in the Council Chamber, 7.n-soldier's life, I -- it - -id hence is that they will meet opposition in London. Surely, if the matter is - one which will bear full'investigation, there can he no reasonable objection to afford the Burgesses a full opportunity of Considering it, and thus avoid an. unseemly dispute in the metropolis IN THE 11 OF PURCHAS ARMY.—The followine will, we have reason to believe, form the royal commis_ sion which has been appointed to consider the working of the purchase system in the army :—The Duke of Somer set, the Right lion. Edward Ellice, Mr. Sidney Herbert, Lord Stanley, Mr. George Carr Glyn, Sir de Lacy Evans, Lieutenant-General Wynward, Sir Henry Bentinck, Sir Harry Jones, and Colonel Wetherall. The constitution of the commission will, we apprehend, lead the public to place every confidence in its decision respecting this much vexed and little understood question • POLITIC IL AND DIPLOMATIC APPOI NITM ENTL—Lord Wodehouse will go, not as ambassador, but as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Russia. This appointment will vacate the office of Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs. Lord Wodehouse's successor will probably be the Earl of Carnarvon, unless arrangements can be made by which Mr. Byng can hold that office consistent with his seat in the House of Com mons, where the presence of an Under - Secretary for Foreign Affairs is at present most required. REVISED NAVVY ESTIMATES.—AIready substantial in dications of the blessings of peace are being afforded to us in the estimates. The revised estimates of the army, published a few days since, showed a reduction from the amount of the original estimate of something like four_ teen millions. A revised navy estimate, issued on Thursday, will show a reduction in this branch of more than three millions, as it appears that, - in consequence of peace; only £16,568,614 of the £19,876,665 (originally considered necessary) will be required for the naval and transport service. CORONER'S INQUE;TS.—Yesterday, the coroner held an ingtiest at the borough gaol on the body of Deniel Berry, a sailor, aged years, who died in the prison. He had been committed some. time ago far a breach of the law under the Marine Act. He was subject to fits, and it would seem that he died in one of these fits. There was a verdict in accord ance with the facts.

Prices for American below middling must be quoted one-sixteenth . of a 'penny per pound below the quotations on Friday last. - Only a limited business has been done in the Liverpool Share Market to-day, but in the early part of the day there was a firm feeling, but towards the close prices became a shade easier, finally closing as under :—Aberdeen, 13 131.

In reference to 'the probable future course or the Money Market, - a correspondent writ( As there seems to be much confidence in reduction of the value of money, it may not be imin teresting to some, to draw their atten facts:— Ln early pnto the following On the 4th October last, the rate of discount was 51 per cent. The bullion7:in the bank was X 12,900,000 The reserve of notes 6,100,000 On the 18th October last, the rate was raised. for 60 days' bills, at 6 per cent; for 90 days', 7 per cent. The bullion in the bank was then £11,700,000 The reserve of notes 4,500,000 On the 26th April last (the last bank return), The bullion in the bank was £9,700,000 The reserve of notes 3,600,000 So that the bank will have to recover, so as to place it in the same position as when the rate was raised to 6 and 7 per cent—two millions of gold and nearly one million of reserve; and as when the rate was sf per cent-3i millions gold and 24 millions reserve. These figures should produce caution, otherwise we may find, that undue confidence may, by creating a new demand for mone3, aggravate the length of time necessary to place the bank in a wholesome and sound position. Of the Liverpool Tallow Market we have the following report in the Circular of Mr. F. J. Eaton : Very little doing here, small parcels of P.Y.C. reported at 48s to 49s per cwt., 10D pipes S. American at 46s to 48s, and 150 :packages:low E.l. at 40s to 423 per cwt. 30 cases hard E.I. advertised for Wednesday next. The London market, after declining to 44s 9d spot, and 45s for the last three months, has reacted, and the closing prices last night were 45s 6d and 46s 3d to 46s 6d per cwt re.pec tively. The half-week delivery is 1293 casks against 1251 casks last year, and the stock on the sth instant 17,609 casks against 41,057 casks in 1855. The usual monthly balance sheet of the Bank of France was published in the Moniteur on Thurs day, showing the position of that establishment on the Bth inst., compared with the corresponding period in April. The principal items are as fol lows :—Total amount of specie in the chief estab nt at Paris, ana in the branch banks, 186,340,436 f against 268,230,319 f in April, showing an increase of 18,110,127 f ; notes in circulation, 626,775,350 f against 616,289,550 f, being an increase of 10,485.800 f. lislim According to the advices from Paris, a variety of rumours are afloat, affecting the value of some of the leading railway stocks. Thus it is reported that the Northern railway of France has virtually obtained the concession. of the new projected line from Paris to Soissons. The negotiations between the Great Central of France railway and the Orleans, Lyons, and Southern of France companies, are said to be terminated. Important negotiations are stated to be on foot between the Beziers and Graissessac railway and another company. At Paris the shares of the Western and Central rail ways of Switzerland are rising. At the meeting of the Victoria (London) Dock Company held yesterday, it was stated that the terms for the lease of the business of the dock with Messrs. Pete, Betts, and Brassey had been agreed upon for a term of 21 years, at an interest of five per cent on the capital of-700,0001, with six per cent interest for an additional capital of 200,0001. Notice is issued from the Spanish Financial Commission in London and Paris that the govern ment has fixed the 31st-sinst. for the sale of bonds of the Three per Cent Consolidated stock, bearing the coupon payable on the .31st December next, to the amount of capital required to obtain 200,000,000 of realieffectiVe (say two millions sterling), with the object of applying this sum to the extinction. of the Treasury floating debt. Parties wishing to obtain these bonds are to send in their proposals at, Madrid by the above date. .No proposal for the purchase of bonds to any amount under 100,000 reals of capital can be entertained, The market for American stocks, according to the report of Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co., remains without material alteration. The London Colonial Produce Markets this week have continued .firm, and the quotations of some of the principal staples have advanced. Sugar has been in fair request, and the prices have rather tended upwards. Coffee has been in fair request. Rice quiet, .and saltpetre steady. In spices the dealings have been limited, and tallow has been inactive. The public sales of colonial wool commenced yesterday, and it is expected that about 52,000 bales_ will be offered during the series. Letters from Naples mention that the king has promulgated a decree which prorogues the law allowing the export of wheat, maize, barley, and other cereals from his dominions to the 15th June. The duties to be levied upon these articles of food are reduced one-half. Advices from Riga, by way of Hamburg, state that the navigation of the gulf re-opened on the 26th April. The first vessel which entered the port was the Swedish steamer Hull, with a cargo of salt, which came to a good market. There were 24 sailing vessels in sight, making for the harbour when the ice broke up. Accounts from Holland state that the Minister of Finance had brought forward a measure in the Chamber of Representatives for the purpose of mortgaging the sum of ten million florins of the National Debt, which was unanimously adopted by the Legislature, on his satisfying the members that the money would be applied for the construc tion of public works of utility, particularly a further extension of the lines of railway communication throughout the state. The Chamber likewise adopted a treaty of commerce and navigation with Austria, which -tends to establish the commercial relations of the two countries upon a more liberal basis than has previously existed.

The effect of the announcement of the New Loan on the Stock Market was at first imma terial. After opening one-eighth per cent. lower, the funds recovered to the closing quotations of yesterday. Sales by capitalists in preparation for the new creation of Stocks, were then pressed, causing a fall of per cent. A partial rally afterwards ensued, but the closing quotations were still 7 3 - per cent below those of yesterday, being 93 1-16 to 93 3 -16. The favour able influence exercised by the smallness of the loan, is to some extent counteracted by the liberal supply of stock already afloat, and by the high value of money. LATEST INTELLIGENCES MAY 10, 18StL HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY. The ATTORNEY- hers were— For the amendment Against it Majority IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. The Lord CIIA.NCELLOR tcog his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The QUeen's message, inviting their lordships to concur with the Commons in conferring upon General Williams a pension of £l,OOO per annum, was brought up by Earl Granville, who recapitulated the services of Gen. Williams and the officers who acted with him in the defence of Kars. Referring especially to Colonel Lake. The message was unanimously agreed to. Lord BROUGHAM presented - petitions in favour of an amendment on the County Couris Act,andi a petition from Liverpool in favour of an amendment of the mercantile law- Tile Bishop of OXI , JRD moved for a select committee to investigate Vie method now emplo fed for carrying out capital punishment. The disgraceful scenes which took place at public executions tended, as he thought, to barbarise large classes of the community, and deprived such exhibitions of their intentions, lie recommended that the executions should take place within the prison walls. A selected few only being present. After some remarks from Lord CAMPBELL, Lord St, LEONARDS, and the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the motion was agreed to, and the committee was nominated. The Joint Stock Companies Winding Up Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord DUNGANNON moved a resolution to the effect, that the present ticket-of-leave system produced insecurity, and operated to the injury of society; that it ten:led to the increase rather than the diminution of crime, and that, therefore, the government should consider and decide some means of remedying these evils, by providing employment for the convicts. Lord BEttNEns concurred in the resolution. The Duke of ARGYLE observed that. the government had stated that they would offer no objection to the appointment of a committee to enquire into the working of the ticket-of leave system, and a Loble lord had given notice of a motion appointing an enquiry. Under these circumstances, and objecting to the expression of opinions, that the system had failed, upon such vague evidence as had been adduced, he must oppose the resolution. After a brief discussion the motion was withdrawn, and their lordships rose at half-past seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. Captain Berkeley took the oaths and his seat for Cheltenham, in the room of Mr. Granville Berkeley. In reply to Mr. STIRLING, _ _ _ Mr. PEEL stated that the places of the Coast Guard men, who were drafted into the navy, in 1854, were immediately filled up, and he did not think any increase of smuggling resulted from the proceeding. Replying to Mr. J. A. SMITII, Mr. PEEL said that all candidates for commissions in the army had to produce certificates of confirmation, in order to secure that they had not seceded from Christianity. In reply to Mr. T. CHAatuEas, who argued as to the liability of vendors of fruits in the parks, under any act of the reign of Charles Sir B. HALL replied that that was a very stringent act, and all railway companies running trains, all telegraphs in operation, and all shops that remained open on the Sunday, would come especially under its provisions. Replying to Col. DUNNE, Mr. PEEL said that no advantages beyond those already mentioned, would be conferred upon the foreign legions when they were disembodied. Replying to Mr. BOWYER, Sir G. GREY stated that the charge against a policeman of having assaulted a young lady at the proclamation of peace at Charing-cross, had been decided by a magistrate, and as no objection had been made to the decision, he had not thought it necessary to consider the decision erroneous, He had, however, given directions that steps should be taken to enquire by whom tie assault was committed, as there was no doubt that an assault of a serious nature had been committed. In reply to Mr. DE MERE, Mr. HonsmAN denied that the Lord Lieutenant had ever given his sanction to any placard in reference to a ragged school in Dublin. The principle he had laid down for his own guidance, and for the guidance of those under him, was, that they should not associate, directly or indirectly, with any society that could give offence to any portion of the population of Ireland. The Lord Lieutenant had allowed his name to be used in connection with a bazaar held on behalf of both a Protestant and Roman Catholic school, but he had not given them any authority to put his name forward as the patron of either. In reply to Mr. ()TWAY ' Mr. P/3, 7 1, said the medals would be conferred upon the Sardinian army equally with the French and Turkish armies. Lord PALMERSTON then moved that the House at its rising should adjourn till Monday, the 19th inst. In reply to Mr. S. DUNSCOMBE, Lord PALMERSTON announced thlt her Majesty had been graciously please(' in celebrating the peace, to pardon all political prisoners, thereby liberating Frost, Williams, Jones, and Smith O'Brien. Mr. 111nuaNs, referring to the continued draw of bul- lion from the Bank of England, asked whether it was the _ . intention of the government during the present session to take steps with a view of relaxing the stringency of the law regulating the issue of bank notes? The - CHANCELLEn of the EXCHFQUER in reply stated. that the stock of bullion in the bank now was only £700,000 more than the amount in January last, while the demand on . account of the Turkish loan and the Comm ssariat sumilies would shortly cease. There was, therefore, no occasion for any alteration. Mr. KENNEDY drew attention to the circumstances of the trial and conviction of Thomas Dunne, under sentence of execu:ion for the 16th inst., for inciting James Murphy and Patrick Bannon to murder Miss Hinds, and to the refusal of the Attorney-General of Ireland to grant his fiat for a writ of error. 'ERAL for Ireland vindicated his conduct, urging that, if there had been any grounds for the application of the fiat, he should have been glad to remove from himself the painf d duty that devolved upon him, but he considered that there was no error; indeed, that the trial was a most fair and impartial one. The prisoner had several opportunities of challenging the jury, which, in the case of the second jury, he failed to avail himself of; and the ground for applying for the fiat was, that ha had not been apprised of his right to chal• lenge him This was not necessary, as he had been apprised of it in the selection of the first jury, and had exercised his rights. The judges had given their opinion, that the issue of the fiat would not be justified, and he had been to Dublin to see the prisoners council, but he could find no ground for acceding to the application. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL Mr. WISITESIDE, Mr. NAPIER, Mr. T. BAINES, and Mr. S. ATTORNEY-GENERAL, justified the conduct of the Attorney-General for Ireland. After some further remarks from Mr. WMAxoN, Mr. SERGEANT SHEE, and Mr. Jr PHILLMORE, the subject dropped. In reply to Sir WALin, Sir C. Woon said that the first regiment left the Crimea about a fortnight ago, and five thousand Sardinians had also been removed. The next body conveyed from the Crimea would be those destined for stations in the Mediterranean to relieve the militia. The most, if not all, would be home in the month of September. Mr. WILKINSON complained of the irregular discussion that had taken place on the motion for the adjournment of the House over the Whitsuntide recess, and intimated his intention ot pi-, posing a motion to put an end to such proceedings. The House then went into committee on - the subject ot the Queen's message in reference to the pension to Gen. Williams, and Lord PALMERSON proposed a resolution carrying into effect the wish expressed by her Majesty. The noble lord remarked that General Williams was a native of Nova Scotia, and it must be a matter for gratification that in his person our transatlantic brethren had been participators in the war. Sir J. PACKINGTON seconded the amendment, referring to the services of General Williams in the defence of Kars, which, he observed, would stand out in the page of history the most conspicuous of those glorious deeds of which there we:e so many in the records of the late war. He thanked her Majesty and her Majesty's Government for the prompt and generous recognition of the services of the gallant officer. Mr. S. FITZGERALD urged that the generosity of the Government should extend to the brave band that stood by the gallant officer in the defence of Kars. Colonel NORTH followed to the same effect. Mr. A. STAFFORD eulogised Dr. Sandwith, whose attention to English and Russian sick has led to his liberation. Mr. 'S. WORTLEY made reference to Lieut. Teesdale, observing that he had acted more like a general than a lieutenant ; and suggesting that he should receive promo tion proportionate to the duties, he had performed. The resolution was mnarihnously agreed to. The House then resumed, and immediatel went into committee on the Police and:Counties Boroughs Bill. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY proposed an amendment, to the effect that the item towards the police force to be paid out of the consolidutld fund should be half instead of one fourth the a hole expense, as proposed by the bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the amendment, on the ground that it would lead to an en hancement of the value of property ;in the country to the detriment of that in the metropolis. He stated his inten tion if the amendment was carried of abandoning the bill. After a long discussion the House divided. The num . ft, and in the e was completely extinguished originated in the fact of h the I 'me hard • The hundred pounds, which is had not a chanc to the :them of distinguishiug themselves same . extent, but whenever their were called for they were found at their pos and ready services for the enemy The militia a scorned the ina, and eithe fighting men foreign service in a force called together in the hurry of war, and with an understanding that they would not be required to serve out of the United Kingdom.

The propor tion of sickness in the Land Transport Corps is still large, though evidently diminishing. Four deaths had occurred in these ranks during the week preceding, and only six in the rest of the army, one of which was caused by drunkenness. ITALY In the Piedmontes^ Chamber of Deputies, on the 7th instant, the interpellations to the Ministers relative to the Paris Congress were continued. M. Mamiani delivered a brilliant speech in favour of the government. The Count de Cavour read a note remitted to the Allied Powers, and added that the Cabinet of Turin persisted in its policy towards the Court of Rome. The deputies, both of the right and left, teniered their support to the govern ment, if circumstances should require it. The Chamber then adopted the order of the day, approving the conduct of M. de Cavour. AUSTRIA. The Vienna correspondent of the Times writes : " Some time since, when there was such a serious misunderstanding between the Western Powers and Naples, the Archduke Albrecht, in the name of the Emperor Francis Joseph, strongly advised his Neapolitan Majesty to make the concessions required of him, and it is credibly related that Austria has now counselled him to make those reforms which tile Great European Powers consider necessary to the welfare of his own sub jects, and to the peace and quiet of the inhabi tants of th , ) other Italian States. That the Imperial government has also urged the Pope to satisfy the reasonable' wishes of his subjects is certain, but it by no means follows that the counsel of his Apostolic Majesty will be taken by the haughty ecclesiastical advisers of his Holiness. The German papers relate that the Emperor of Austria has himself written both to the King of Naples and to the Pope ; but my endeavours to obtain confirmation to the statement have hitherto failed." THE CRIMEA. EBASTOPOL, April 25, 1856 The great excitement of our camp life now is the expectation of receiving orders for quitting this land, where the world's interest for two years has been centered. An order appeared in the General Orders this week for the 9th, 17th, 39th, 62nd, and 63rd regiments to hold themselves in readiness for immediate embarkation ; their destination is Canada, and Sir Win. Eyre is to command the expedition ; this is the only certain information of th slaves" there aro, of In the meantime, the listless monotony of camp life is enlivened by races and reviews On Wednesday last, some mule and pony races came off behind the Guards camp ; the mules were ridden by men from the ranks, and occasioned great sport, by the displayal of their usual self will ; in the last pony steeplechase, I regret to say, one of the Guards had a fall, which has brought on concussion of the brain, and put a summary and disagreeable end to the day's sports. Yesterday there was another grand review of the whole army in the Balakiava plain ; it was, however, more of a drill than a parade. Sir W. Codrington, wishing to try his hand at manceuvering the troops, and considering he had 30,000 men or upwards to handle, the result, I believe, was very satisfac tory. General Pelisier, with his usual retinue, and several Russian generals were present. Most of the Sardinians have gone, arid several French regiments have already left for " la belle France ;" they embarked at Kamiesch, it is said we shall embark our troops at Sebastopol ; the Zouaves have all left. The Grand Junction Balaklava Railway is now employed in conveying away shot and shell, to be put on board ships as ballast, and thus sent home. Fatigue parties gather the shot from the Redan, and all the space between our camp and Sebaso pol, bring it up to the nearest point of the railway by which it is conveyed to Balaklava. I regret to say a sad accident occurred today to a fatigue party employed in this manner, an unexploded shell suddenly going off, killing one man, and wounding several others. The weather is fine and warm. MUTINY BY THE GERMAN JAGERS AT PLYMOUTH, Yesterday one of the companies grounded arms and refused to do duty. They were marched to the citadel and a guard of militia placed over them. Ball cartridge was served out to a body of marines. The drummers, with triangles and cats, were sent in from Stonehouse. The Commander of the Forces in the west (General Eden) shortly arrived. A cor poral and two privates, belonging to the mutinous corps, were then placed on trial by a court-martial, The Jagers complain of excessive drill. LONDON GAZETTE BANKRUPTS.—Wm.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING' The affair of the Belgian press is beginning td excite very serious interest indeed, not unrin% with alarm. The manner in which it bas teen y noticed in the English parliament has n atura ( sr not pleased the government, and it is, on dit, (101)1 offended at the tone and the terms in which, ing to a telegraphic despatch, the Belgian declared in the chamber yesterday that they we s. n not submit to foreign dictation about their pre s i e On the other hand, after what 'took place in li , congress, and after the recent language o f the se ln t official newspapers, the French government canr° very well, with due regard to its own digintYi refrain from insisting that the Belgian governinen. shall do something to silence the offending ne b, papers. Thus a new European difficulty rag is said to have arisen. In the opinion of some pe,t, of weight in politics, the question of the Bog — t te press was only raised by the Emperor as a pi c tu r e for going to war with Belgium at a fu be period ; but that opinion it would not n prudent to endorse for the Emperor ° b. hardly be mad enough to think of si w nt a thing, certain as it is that if he went to attegii, it, he would have all Europe against him. it is worthy of remark, that in the official circled, and even in clubs and cafes, you hear people °I I ing very glibly about France being destined, linu'l the Bonapartist dynasty, to gain her "na tion " frontiers" on the Rhine. otir An extraordinary piece of news has been e-„Id municated to me—so extraordinary, that I sh e ; s certainly not credit it, did it not come fr i er ot quarter from which I have often obtained exc en b e e s intelligence—it is, that Count do MornY o f " declined" to accept the invitation of the King 5 .
