Applications have been made for 300,000 shares in the_ new Ocean Marine Company, on which a deposit of Li is required. The number to ; be allowed is 40,000. Referring to monetary prospects, the Times hays, although the general rates in open market have now, for two or three weeks, been equal to . chese of the Bank, there is no immediate sign of any pressure that can alter the current terms. The demand for India and China is all that has to be met, and although this is enormous, it is not likely to exceed the aggregate of the periodical Supplies from America, the West Indies; and Australia. A somewhat firmer tone was observable to-day in the Stock Exchange, especially in the morning, when an improvement of per cent took place. In the afternoon, in the advance of business, the receipt of dull accounts from the Paris Bourse sufficed to cause a relapse. Consols are the same as yesterday. There is no abatement in the demand for money. Few bills are discounted at 2*. About £5,000 in bar gold was sent into the Bank ta-day.—Daily News. Owing to the steady *chases of the public, there is a constant tendency to firmness in the stock market. In the absence of any fresh causes for positive disquiet, consols opened at an ad vance, but the accounts from Paris showing weakness, there was subsequently less steadiness. The applications at the Bank continue moderate, and are likely to be heavy for some days. Among other public payments to be provided is about a million and a half for the East India Railway securities. This amount, however, will find its way to the Bank immediately on its being paid. In the railway market to-day the principle British stocks show little change from' yesterday. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—Noy. 17.

THIS well-established Daily Paper,—the fi rs t th a t was attempted in the Provinces,—is .noir, under a new proprietary, devoted to the interests of the great Conservative party. Its principles are those so forcibly expressed by the Earl of Derby, at the recent Liverpool Banquet, when he said, "I speak of that Conservatism which is not obstructive, but which is the best promoter of safe and gradual social improve ment,—of that Conservatism which, strenuously adhering to the old machinery of the Constitution, adapts from time to time the various parts of its mechanism to the real requirements and the real capacities of the age in which we live,—of that Con servatism which should give to all orders and degrees of men within this realm their due weight, authority, and preponder ance,—of that Conservatism which loves the interests of the people at large but will not be led away by the noisy denuncia tions of blustering demagogues, either to shrink at the voice of menace, or timidly to make concessions to large bodies of men for the purpose, of obtaining a temporary popularity, when in our hearts we believe the concession of those coveted boons would be the worst injury we could inflict upon the classes it is sought to benefit." Such is the Conservatism of which the Northern Times is now the faithful an% unflinching advocate : and never, perhaps, was there a moment when a temperate and judicious application of the Daily Press to the espousal. of its cause, and the dissemination of its principles, was capable of serving more beneficial purposes. Hitherto, the Daily Papers of Liverpool have, one and all, been' exclusively in the so-called Liberal, that is, the Whig and Radical, interest. The Conservative cause has now got its representative, and its advocate, in the local Daily p ro p,. It rests with the Conservative party, of Liverpool to decide with what efficiency this their Daily organ of the Press shall be maintained. Its success has so far been Considerable,— the circulation already secured is large and increasing; it is about three times more than it was when it came into its pre sent hands ---and if all who are Conservatives will only sup port it with their advertisements, and use their active influence to make it a profitable advertising medium, its prosperity, and therefore its influenoe, will soon be powerfully strengthened an an T d d h eo e lee Derby Planqtrt cannot but have aroused the Con servatives of taverßool to a more active course of public duty • papetrbeinobthlir important m rtan tim t e in s te lik re e s t t he c p ann res o en t present, fail to to sust b a e ln a a cku D o sal w t therciore led E oftigedettoe raL f:rd awlsouttcoliftr.c.patm. to he' acted upon. b.l ns B a otr n me d ect a e. d o, ve o rti , se i m :z e r n:, 5 1 :, 4u So T trru p4 J r o k n: r • STRIIRT, Corner Printing street, t , _ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1859 THE }JAY'S NEWS. • The Central Italian question. appears to get more complicated as its settlement is attempted, although the King of Sardinia, through the pressure of _his 'lmperial brother of France,. has been under the necessity of yielding to the virtual prohibition of his, sanction of Prince Carignan to ' the regency of the Central States, he has yet left to the latter to name or recommend a substitute ; and the Prince has accordingly nominated M. de Boncompagni, who will no doubt be at once accepted , by the Assemblies. This, however, is also, in its turn, disapproved of by the Emperor Napoleon ; but we have not yet an intimation of such disapproval havingbeen of any -avail. It is evident that the King of Sardinia must have incurred the anger of the Imperial Government, which asks him how he can presume to prejudge the decision of the Congress, which has still to meet and deliberate on the whole question. " Rut," says the Times, "we have yet to learn what right a Congress has to dispose of the destinies of the Italians, or why they should be de pendent on its sanctions. In a Congress various States meet to deliberate and to settle their own position with regard, to any new events, but they cars in no 'way interfere with the proceedings of States as sovereign as themselves. The Convess may refuse to recognise a state of things diplo matically, and it ma advise an alteration ; but it would be the height of tyranny for a mere majority of the great Powers to declare that nothing shall be done in Europe without their consent. This, we are sure, is not the conception which the British Government has of a Congress, and we think that these views will be generally accepted." These are views of the question which the public opinion of England will doubt less concur in. Those States of the Church which have thrown off the temporal yoke of the Popedom, are already manifesting the spirit of enlightened freedom in which they are disposed to act. At Bologna, for instance; the Inquisition has already been abolished, by a decree suppressing that tribunal as one utterly incompatible with modern civilisation. The Liberals are making the most of the Scotch victories they have achieved in the results of the University elections that have recently taken place. Edinburgh has preferred Lord Brougham is its Chancellor to the Duke of Buccleuch, and- Mr. Gladstone as its Rector to Lord Neaves ; and Glasgow has selected as its Rector Lord Elgin rather than Mr. Disraeli. Some ,people are, of course, quite ready to take it for granted that the results of these University contests, into which, it must be admitted, political spirit enters only indirectly, are significant and complete indications of the prevalent political feeling ; and some of the Liberal journals are holding up the two victories at Edinburgh and at Glasgow, as retrieving the signal defeat at the late county election in Ayrshire. "All we can say is," . observes the Morning Herald, and we quite agree with it, " let. us have more of such triumphs as that.of the . county of Ayr, and we can very well afford to lose such battles as those of Glasgow. The University victories are personal, and nothing more. That of Ayrshire was a triumph' of prin - sipleS and of party." The long-suspened doom of Dr. Smethurst has • at length .. been decided. He has received a free pardon, so far as the alleged murder of Isabella Bankes is concerned. This decision of the Home Office has been communicated by the Secretary of State to the Lord Chief Baron who tried the case. The medical evidence, and all the papers bearing upon the medical points of the case, were submitted, it appears, - to Sir Benjamin Brodie, who came to the opinion that although the facts were full of suspicion against the prisoner, there was not absolute and complete evidence of his guilt. The Secretary of State informs the Lord Chief Baron, therefore, that the necessity he felt for granting a free pardon did not arise from any defect in the constitution or proceedings of our criminal tribunals, but from the imperfection of medical science, and from the fallibility of judgment in an obscure malady, even of skilful and experienced medical practitioners. The official inquiry into the circumstances attending the loss of the Royal Charter, after e xtending over three days, has been adjourned to Wednesday next. At the close of the proceed ings yesterday, Mr. O'Dowd, intimated, on the part of , Board of Trade, that the matters to be next inquired into would be the construction and the strength of the vessel, and also the quality of the material of which she had been composed:' This would necessarily involve the examination of scientific witnesses, and it would require some, time to make the requisite arrangements and inquiries. On this representation further cori sideration of the case was adjourned as above stated. As on the previous- day, great interest seemed to be taken in the proceedings yesterday, the Crown Court, in whiCh the investigation was held, having been crowded all day. At the weekly meeting of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, held yesterday, the question. of Life-boat efficiency :was again made a promi nent subject of discussion. The conduct of some of the men connected with the Formby and with the Liverpool life-boat service, on a late occasion, was again under review. The inquiry, so far as it has gone, completely exonerated the crew of the Formby life-boat; the behaviour - of the crew of the Liverpool life-boat, however, is still under consideration. The other matters before the Board were .not of very general interest. The weekly meeting of the Health Committee, yesterday, although a protracted one; offers few points for observation. It seems curious, how ever, to find that, since January last, the building surveyor should have found it necessary to in terfere with 628 dangerous buildings, 530 fence walls, and 2,141 chimneys. On looking over such an enumeration, the question naturally arises; Is this the average annual rate? or have any un - - explained causes led to so heavy a visitation on decaying property ? Another interesting . feature of the proceedings of this committee is to be found incidentally. in,discussing the propriety of releasing a contractor for a sewer from ME! en- . gagement, on the ground that he entered into-the . engagement on the supposition that the material to be operated on was to be clay, whereas it turned out to be red sandstone rock, full of .water." The electors of Scotland Ward were again addressed, in two meetings last nigh I:, by Mr. Came and several Of his friends. The favourable impres sion which Mr. Carne hag made on the municipal electors of Liverpool has increased on each occa ' siert of his meeting with them. Let all who 4 value their own independence, and appreciate the practical good sense of Mr. Came; be :earlyat the poll this day. They may depend on it .that an early vote is almost worth two late ones. Let them ponder this, and act accordingly,' . THERE are several considerations which the elec •i tors of Scotland Ward may well bear in mild this day. First ; On personal grounds, ~we think-that;the claims of the Conservative candidate, Mr. CARNE, contrast favourably with those of his competitor. He has a considerable stake in the toiirn and. trade whose interests in the Council he would be called upon to protect and advance. But not only so; he is also a large ratepayer in the Ward he aspires to represent, and is connected , with it by the most influential of ties, the ties of pro perty. It is not only, and not chiefly, a mere dis tinction that he seeks ; he aims at a more useful object than a mere opportunity to show off flashy qualifications,—the talents of a debating club, or the ready verbosity' a! the Police Court ; he desires to be of practical service to his fellow citizens, with whose substantial interests, with whose commercial requirements he is himself in timately involved, and in which he - and they have common and equal concern. Nothing can be more fitting, or, indeed, more necessary, than to fill the Connell with men endowed, not only with adequate intellectual readiness, but with commercial knowledge derived from expe rience, and whose efforts for the general benefit of a trading community are open to the spur which individual interests can most vigorously apply-. Now we are not going to say anything,uncom plimentary to lawyers.. Every pursuit of life to which - men can devote themselves, ministers to some peculiar inclination more than to others. This is not the fault, but the accident of the pursuit ; and when men of any profession are questionable or dangerous or untrustworthy characters, they are so, not as members of the profession, but simply as men. They would. be the same in any other work of life—transport them to a society of saints, and still, coelum non alumni. mutant. Class depreciation is as unjust, as it is essentially vulgar. We say, therefore, that not only do the lawyers, who are at present in. the Council, do it honour, but we should not wish the Councir to be destitute of lawyers. Yet there are times when we may well recollect the nature of the relation which they bear to a commercial and trading community. We decidedly think there is room for lawyers in the Council, we think therm an acquisition and an advantage ; yet, we shoidd have no hesitation—were other considerations absent from the case, or not of much importance— in fixing our choice upon a merchant to represent us, rather - than upon a. lawyer. It is natural that a merchant, being a fellow-tradesman and fellow ratepayer, should possess the :widest sympathies with all classes of the community, Not only may his general interests and theirs be said tolbe consistent and connected together, but they are the same ; they meet together at all points and can never incidentally conflict. But a, law yer's sympathies are those of - an advocate; they are likely therefore to be narrow in their range, and beset with qualifications and obstacles., His is a noble calling ; yet in its daily practice it is, no doubt, often quite consistent with his interest to array one man against another, and to reap advantage from . the dissensions of his. fellow citizens. Though, therefore, we even need law yers in the Council, we need as much that they .may not be many; and the tone which not im properly pervades the conduct of their own busi ness, would be a most improper and injurious one, if allowed to give a character to Town Council deliberations. A gentleman, then, who has already shown himself an efficient public servant, and that, too, in a post which involves more labour and respon- sibility, than honour, even in the most successful discharge of its duties;: who is a merchant of high character and position, and connected in timately and directly with :the trading interests of the town ; who , may be supposed to have: a general knowledge of commercial requirements, and of the necessities of that large labouring class : whom - commerce supports, and who support com merce ; who is moreover a large ratepayer in Scotland Ward, itself, and therefore has a direct communion, of interests with those , whose votes he solicits—this gentleman, than whom it would be scarcely possible to imagine a more : fitting representative in every par ticular, is opposed by one who has no. connec tion With the Ward, who has no direct interest in the public business of the town, belongsto a profession possessing indeed high intellectual advantages and opportunities, but which; so far as they are laudable,, are far wide of the require ments of the post he. now solicits,—and,, indeed, may be considered, of themselves, rather disquali fications for it. Mr. ASPINALL'S sole admitted re commendations are, his inheritance of a name which, in this town, is nothing except as a symbol of a political faith to which he has'proved rene gade,—and his desir' to earn distinction in a new field, for that:volubility, WhOsehighest s,chievement is " to make the worse appear the better reason" at the bar of - a Pollee 'Court, and rescue petty larceny from magisterial supervision. • We really cannot think that, after the stultifi cation of their last - choice through the , political defection of Mr j WobbiteFF, the ConserVatiVe' , electors of Scotland Ward, will so far accept and endorse the apostasy, as' to stultify themselves by tthheeyreejleectetieoan Mr. f n a wCoonospernviraFtiFv , e theycandidate. did it with h h a e n n intention to add one to the Conservative majority Ti in the Council. Why ti hould intention faint in them on the P resent occs on P We' rath er ex p e t that Mr. WOODRUFF ' S conduct will arouse th e m to a new vigour; and that their old zeal will acquire a new motive—namely, to r epair that gentleman's foolish deertion___of his Prix' ciples. NOTWITHSTANDING that, in the Report ,of til e Police on the state of crime in Liverpool --4 notice of which we gave a few days since—the Head Constable was "glad to be able to direct "attention to the very great decrease in the ", number of indictable offences," an examination of the statistics in detail affords anything bu t satisfaction with regard to the moral and social condition of large masses of our population. Even as respects the decrease, it is only, be i t remembered in "the number of indictable offences. And the Head Constable is constrained to declare, that this decrease does not warrant the COn' " elusion which would be naturally arrived at, 1 1 " comparing these tables with those of preceding " years, that the criminal population has decrease d " to such an extent, but may rather be found ill " the cause assigned in his report of last Ye ar ' " viz The greater numbers committed for trial' " ' and consequently 'longer periods of impris° e ' " ment.' " That is to say, that a stricter Pol ice administration, and a severer punishment, 1 3311 combined to deter, to some extent, from the ce rr mission . of "indictable offences. " But this 05 not necessarily indicate any improvement moral condition of that class of the people aoln e g whom such offenders are generally found. There is, for instance, this startling fact, about one-fifth of the whole apprehensions for the commission of crimes are those of persons 'v ier twenty-one years of age.. Again, even under sir teen years of age, there is a very large p ro portio n of what are called d e pred a t ors a t l arge ; and, or these, a very great proportion are girls--proS tk tutes. And this , dreadful vice of prostitution is shown, in the Report referred to, to be the greates t plague-spot of all' upon society in Liverpool. Th e number of brothels and prostitutes, it is, stated' has steadily increased in this town every year, Of the last three years. And. the prostitutes theCO selves are estimated at as many as 2,583: of who° more than one-half have been twice apprehend ed for crimes within the- cognisance of the - laW• The number of brothel's is set down at 666--th e greatest number that has - yet been noticed by th e police—and of these, upwards of 500 are kept by women.. Most of them, it appears,. hale men re siding in them, as well as women;. and they ar e the resorts, very naturally, of infamous charoe" ters of both sexes, not only for their avowed pill • . pose, but as places of-rendez v ous for criminal and immoral eharacters,--of men and women alike. There is another circumstance connected with this painful subject, whichis startling and significant* Nearly one-third of all the prostitutes aPPre hended this year,. have been apprehended fn i. tile first time ; and of these, it is stated, nearly It hundred were under eighteen years of ag e ' fore, May be not unreasonably calculated, t here ,1 that this is a fair indication o f th e number ached annually to the ranks of prostitution fro' young. • Now the-question arises—What is to 'be_ 0 11 - e ' with all these vicious characters of both. sexes • ; They are evidently increasing upon us. TV: vigilance of the police, and the strict admini°:, tration of Sustice, may keep down in some slier degree the actual commission of crime--that is, of "indictable offences," as they are specified in the Report before us,—but it is evident there is 11° improvement whatever—on the contrary, there still a most serious degeneracy going on—in the morals of those classes of the people among whom such characters are generally found. Nor it to be imputed to ignorance altogether, that th ere. is such a deplorable state of things exiStilig s ted— a a amidst all our boasted enlightenment anc liir provement.
