SEPTEMBER 24, 1856, THE DAy'S NEWS 4mon,r; the several young and rising Statesmen r e sent age, there are few wh ose progress - Jtimation has been so rapid, and, to all appearances, permanent and solid, as that of the Noble Lord, the Member for King's Lyn, Inhe riting many of the intellectual qualities of hi s Bight Hon. Sire, the Earl of Derby, but p ossessed of more liberal tendencies, he has cast alide the of the I a pun trammels of political and religious bigotry, an d chalked out for himself an honourable, important, .and useful career—namely, the earnest and con. acy of all measures of social progress, ntal and moral lightenmE Whilst willingly giving his port t) every objects i ntal measure having th e adopts the princi e that, as f public enlightenment is concerned, there are many things which the people can do for themselves, far better, and with greater facility and satisfaction, THE NORTHERN TIME S.---LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. Whilst these praiseworthy efforts to extend the „mong the middle and lower classes are being carried forward with activity ani energy, we are glad to perceive that other means are being adopted for the purpose of refining the tastes and habits of the millions, by the getting up of Monster Concerts in the Metro polis, at charges so low that the most humble mem ber of society can afford to pay the insignificant sum charged for admission, and there embrace the opportunity of holding converse with all the master musical spirits of the age, whether sacred or profane. The first attempt was made in St. Martin's Hall, London, on Monday night, when upwards of 3,000 people sought admission, and enjoyed a musical treat, which to them was as delicious as it was rare. No one can over estimate the important and beneficial consequences of such a scheme. Its establishment will stop the wild career of many a rakish son; induce the besotted and dis sipated husband to forsake the ale-house, and, in company with the partner of his life, attend the musical entertainments, which soften the asperities of human nature, and render mankind benevolent. On these grounds, as journalists, we hail the London concerts for the people as a vast improve. ment upon the singing saloons of the Metropolis, or the large towns throughout the provinces. In the latter, the main object is to sell deleterious compounds which go under the name of liquors, ale, or porter, whilst the singing is of the most insignificant order, and the songs themselves nothing less than the corrupters of morals. The St. Martin's Hall performances have shown us what can be done in the way of people's concerts. Why not try the same in Liverpool ? We have a magnificent hall built by the people's money and for the people's benefit. Let us, then, have our Saturday Evening Concerts there, at prices varying from 3d. to is. Let nothing but the best of talent be employed, and the most popular but unobjectionable class of music given, and sure we are, that ” Dicky will appreciate and patronise the undertaking. Our Town Council will do well to accept any fair proposal that may be made to them for this pur pose. It is a duty to themselves, and the Burgesses at large, to do so. We hope to hear that the negotiations now rending between a Liverpool gentleman and the St. George's Hall Committee, for the purpose of getting up Satur day Evening Concerts are successful, that ere long an announcement will be made that all arrangements are complete, and that in a few days the first concert will come off. It may be further observed, that one of the objects of the Sunday League is to obtain for the people rational recrea advantages of mental culture Sam" tions, and that foremost amongst these are tho Sunday Bands in the Park. Let Liverpool have h e r Bands, and her Concerts in St. George's Hall on Saturday Evening, and there will be no necessity to encounter the opposition of Puritanical divines —the condemnation of the bigotted and self- righteous el ss, who decry every plan or schem )f which they are not the originators, or with ruling spirits. The spirit of the age is progress, and in nothing will that progress be more strongly de monstrat'd or developed, than in the fact of the por tals of St. George's Hall being thrown open to the hard working sons of toil on the last evening of tha week, who will be charmed with the sweet sounds and fascinating poetry of our Scottish ballads, our Irish melodies, or the popular and pleasing airs of our English artistes. We chronicle important Continental intelligence this morning. It appears that twenty-seven private and four non - commissioned officers, recently dis charged at Malta, were, forthwith on their arrival home in the Austrian States, Tuscany and Parma , incarcerated, sans ceremonie, in the prisons of the two latter States. The Lombards, thirteen in number, were forwarded, on their arrival on the frontiers, under military escort to Mantua, to be tried by court martial, for accepting service in a foreign state without the permission of the ruling power. It is said this proceeding on the part of the Austrian authorities had caused a great sensation among the discharged legionaries in Piedmont, who were preparing to return to their homes through Italy, after their British service. They are now deterred, and will be compelled to remain stationary, watching the course of events. The English Ministers at these courts have protested against the course pursued with regard to the treatment those men have received, and have demanded their release. Respecting the Neapolitan dispute. we have but little fresh intelligence. From Paris we learn that a final note has been sent, or is in the way of being despatched, to the King of Naples, by England and France. It is decided, and states a limited period for reply. If the King does not make the concessions therein demanded, an Allied squadron, already under orders, will meet at Ajaccio, and there wait orders from London and Paris, before appearing in the Bay of Naples, and taking on board the English and French Embassies. Four line of battle ships, two frigates, and two corvettes, is all the force which will be employed. The Neapolitan fleet is quite strong enough to meet this squadron, if the King is in a fighting humour, as he has one 80 gun frigate, several smaller frigates and corvettes, and a steam fleet of not less than 20 vessels. The Marquis .&ntonini, the Neapolitan Minister at Paris, had an interview with M. Walewski, in which the Emperor's Minister of Foreign Affairs is reported to have used a firmness of language which caused the representative of his Sicilian Majesty to telegraph tostaNnacpesle, might s for orders in case of a rupture ; and the "Ply was, that hi s E xce ll enc y, under such circum ght retire to Brussels. A rumour is again prevalent, that the Grand Duke of Tuscany is about to abdicate in favour of his son, the 'archduke Ferdinand. The result of this abdice would, it is said, lead to a complete change in stem of government, and the restoration to power of a party hostile to a system of Jaws d ec reed by Leopold the First, and which formed an effectual barrier against the e ncroachments of the Holy See. Our Madrid advices i n f orm us of a Carlist conspiracy, for causing a rising in the mountains of Toledo, and the arrest of thirteen persons concerned in it. Her Majesty, Queen Isabella, finds it a Most difficult matter to rulb the ambitious designs of the chiefs of her cabinet, and no doubt, from what is passing about the court, Narvaez will shortly relieve O'Donnell of the cares of office. We have further graphic details of the spectacles and fetes which succeeded the corona tion of the Emperor of Russia. The Free Trade Congress at Brussels is in full blow just now. The number of gentlemen who have given their adhesion to the principles of the Congress is nearly 600. None of the details of the proceedings have reached us. The local news, embracing Police Reports, County Court cases, and the proceedings of the Revising Barristers' Court, yesterday, will be found at full length in another column. THE NORTHERN TIMES completed the third year of its existence yesterday, despite the many chari- table and " manly" predictions to the contrary The character of the period through which we have passdd may be taken as a fair impress of the eventful future before us. The current of human affairs differs only in complexion. Its depth, breadth, and intensity remain unaltered. The abominations of war are the work of man's hands —the vicissitudes of peace are more evenly divided between the wisdom of the Deity, and the folly and wickedness of mankind. In both seasons, the sentinel—an honest son to guard a noble Fatherland—is needed on the watchtower. The Newspaper Press is that watchtower, and whether the NORTHERN TIMES has proved equal to the onerous duties its conductors have imposed on themselves, and performed their part honestly and fearlessly, we must leave the public to decide. We started with a determination to take high moral, and national ground on every question brought under discussion, and from this firm resolve we have never swerved. We know no sect or party, and will not suffer ourselves to be trammelled by creed or faction. We have kept our columns open to every man who has had a principle to enunciate or a grievance to make public. And what a vast amount of useful infor- oration this straightforward English course has enabled us to lay before our readers. Many of the first improvements in art and science have been discussed in these pages, and there is not a subject connected with politics, navigation, trade, commerce, and manufactures which have not been noticed either by our numerous correspondents, or our own staff. We have, in fact, given the public what we conceive to be the essential characteristics of a daily Newspaper, and our success has brought upon us a fierce, and, we fear, ruinous com petition for our rivals, which has checked, in some measure, the completion of our original design as regards both the size and general arrangements of our paper. Still, we believe that, with the aid of those who have so liberally and disinterestedly supported the NORTHERN TIMES from the commencement of its publication, we shall be able to make it all that a great, enlightened, and mercantile community can desire. On Friday last we published a double paper, in order to show what can be done in Liver. pool—that as good a newspaper may be produced in this town for less than half the price of those published in the metropolis. Our double • number has proved that the literary taste and thirst for news can be as well supplied, and our mercantile interests as well guarded, by our Local Press, as they can by the leviathan journals published in London It has also shown that we can balance political, monetary, and commercial power at home, which is of far greater importance to Liverpool and the manufacturing districts than preserving what is called " The equilibrium of Europe." The NORTHERN TIMES has, we trust, shown from its earliest date down to the present hour, that its conductors are alive to all that contributes to the happiness, prosperity, and great ness of the Empire, and that they fully comprehend the follies and requirements of their times. The only question which remains, then to be solved is, whether Liverpool will have a Daily Newspaper, worthy of the confidence of its merchants, the support of the trader, and the respect and friendship of all classes of society. We believe the NORTHERN TIMES occupies such a position, and are encouraged in this belief by the liberal patronage we have enjoyed, and the com parative ease with which we have stemmed what has been anything but a fair and above board com- mercial competition. The many changes which have taken place within the last two years in newspaper business generally has forced several alterations on us, and when all the derangements caused by the abolition of the Newspaper stamp duty have been overcome, and newspaper property settles down on a more certain basis, we have no doubt the course we have pursued will be generally approved, and the NORTHERN TIMES, as the OLDEST DAILY PROVINCIAL NEWSPAPER published in Eng- land, will hold a still higher position than it does now in public estimation. Whatever plans we may henceforth adopt, will be guided by a desire to supply the public's wants, but with that ordinary commercial caution which is an essential element in the permanent success of every undertaking be it ever so trifling. While there is a tax of lid. per pound, and five per cent., on every pound of paper used in our office, en tail in g upon us an annual expenditure of 1,0001 ; and newspaper property generally remains in the unsettled position in which it has been since the abolition of the stamp duty—it is difficult to determine on the exact course to pursue. We will endeavour, however, to meet the tastes and requirements of the day by the adoption of such plans as time shall render necessary, and feel assured, that shatever we may undertake to contribute to the welfare of the town, a n d the importance of the port and commerce of Liverpool, will be responded to in the spirit of liberality which has been so long bestowed upon our paper, Our only desire is, that the NORTHERN TIMES may maintain its character for early news, the inde- pendenee and nationality of its sentiments, and its well known willingness to aid in arrest ing the torrent of political passion, sustain the cause of morality, and cheer on the advocates of civil and religious freedom throughout the world. Much still remains to be done in these several directions, and we shall ever be found ready for the work ; and relying on the reward due to honesty Of purpose, and our other humble merits, we hope that on our next anniver- sary the news-reading public will have additional cause to be satisfied with our success, and that we shall have still higher claims on their patronage and support THE COURT BALMORAL, Sept. 20.—Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince Consort drove yesterday to the woods of Balmo ral, which were driven for deer. Their Royal Highnesses the Princess Royal and Princess Alice, attended ay the Marchioness of Ely and the Hon. Mary Seymour, walked in the neighbourhood of Balmoral. BALMORAL, Sept. 21.—The Queen and the Prince drove yesterday to the Balloch Bhuie, where his Royal Highness went deer-stalking. The Right Hon. Sir Geo. Grey arrived at Balmoral yesterday, and remains in attendance upon her Majesty. The royal dinner party yesterday included the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Amalie of Hohenlohe Schillingfurst, the Lady Augusta Bruce, and Lord James Murray. A MATRIMONIAL ALLIANCE is understood to be arranged between the Hon. Captain Frederick Fitz clarence, ion of the late Earl of Munster, and his cousin, the Hon. Miss Sydney, eldest daughter of the late Lord De Lisle and Dudley. ROYAL NUPTTAL9.—A telegraphic despatch, received from Berlin, states that on Saturday evening the nuptials of the Princess Louisa of Prussia with the Grand Duke of Baden were solemnised in the Royal Schloss with all the prescriptive solemnities. Miss FLORENCE NIGRTIGALE is, we understand, on a visit to this quarter just now. The illustrious lady, travelling incog , arrived in Aberdeen on Wednesday, accompanied by her father, and after staying overnight at Douglas Hotel, left on Thursday forenoon for Birkhall, the seat of Sir James Clark.—Aberdeen Free Press. DEATH OF THE COUNTESS OF LAUDERDALE.—We regret to record the demise of the venerable Countess of Lauder dale, which took place on Tuesday last, at her son's seat in the north. The deceased had attained the great age of 94 years. Her ladyship was the widow of James, eighth Earl of Lauderdale, who died September 13, 1839, by whom she had surviving issue, the present Earl, the Hon. Sir Anthony Maitland, Lady Eleanor Balfour, and Lady Mary Stanley. Numerous families of rank are placed in mourning by the event. THE LATE E STEN SIVE FRAUDS ON THE CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY.—REWARD OF £2so.—The directors have caused placards to be issued and circulated throughout the metropolis, offering a reward of £250 to any person who shall give such information as will lead to the apprehension of William James Robson, late a clerk in the transfer office of the company, who stands charged with fraudulently issuing shares to a large extent, and with extensive forgeries, It is fully believed that Robson has not been able to make good his escape, and it is stated that a clue has been obtained as to his whereabouts. He is described as being 30 years of age 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, fresh fair complexion, light hair inclined to curl, good teeth, a gentlemanly appear ance, and pleasing expression, generally dressed in a blue frock coat, fancy trousers, patent leather boots, and green kid gloves, but the probability is that he is in some dis guise. Information to be given to George Grove, Esq., secretary, Crystal Palace, Sydenham ; to the superin tendent of the P division of the metropolitan polLe ; or at any police station. NEW BRIGHTON CLUB.—An eni - ertaintnent will take place at the assembly room of this club, on Friday next, and all who purpose attending may expect a delightful even- log. WE are informed that, at the Ordination, held at Ches ter, on Sunday last, of the fourteen newly ordained priests, the Roy. Mr. Wilkinson, curate of St. Chrysostom's, Everson, was selected by the Bishop for the honour of reading the first lesson in the afternoon service at the Cathedral. Mocx. AucrioNs.—ln reference to these shops, we have been requested to state that the reports which have appeared in our paper had no reference to the establishment of Mr. Henry Halstead, of 44, Lime street, opposite the Edinburgh Castle ; and, we may add, it was never intended to include that house in our reports, which had not the most remote allusion to the house, which is highly respectable. SUDDEN DEATHS.—A sailor, whose name is unknown, died on ship board in the river yesterday, suddenly. The body lies at the dead-house.—Henry Rennie, a sailor, forty years of age, who had been ailing for some time with disease of the lungs, died suddenly, yesterday, at his lodgings in Bridgewater Street.—A man, name not known at present, died yesterday, suddenly, at the Southern Hospital. Inquests will be held on the above cases this day. REVISION OF THE LIST OF PARLIAMENTARY VOTERS.-.. The court for the revision of parliamentary voters opened at ten o'clock yesterday, in the Sheriff's Court, before Mr. J. S. Brandreth, revising barrister. Mr. Enoch Harvey appeared for the Reform Association, and Mr. Bremner for the Constitutional Association. The Freemen's list was taken up yesterday. There were 280 objections entered by the Liberals, and fifty by the Conservatives. Of the former 216 were allowed, and of the latter only fourteen. They were of the usual character. There were twenty-nine claims to be placed on the list ; twenty-seven of which were preferred by conservatives, and only two by Reformers. Of the former, eight were allowed, and of the latter only one was refused. The court adjourned at half-past four o'clock, to ten o'clock this morning, when the out-town ships' list will be gone through. _ ROBBERY AT THE POLICE COURT.—On several occasions recently we have had to record robberies committed at the police court, and even out of the usher's room (Mr. Thomas.) The perpetrators of these felonies seem to watch the opportunity on wet days, when he is sure of laying his hands on top coats, umbrellas, and the like. Yesterday a top coat, nearly new, belonging to Mr. Bluck, attorney, was stolen out of the usher's room. These de. predations have become so frequent and so disgraceful, that our reporter has been requested to state, that the only remedy is to place a police officer at the door, or at the top of the stairs leading to the magistrates' entrance, and not to allow any one, except the magistrates, the clerks, and officials of the court, together with the reporters and legal professional gentlemen to pass the lobby. In this way security would be obtained, and we would not have to record such glaring thefts. The reporters and legal gentlemen fully concur in this, for it is disgraceful to see the characters who are allowed to congregate about the lobby and pass age, whilst there are regular doors on the court—hardly ever used. It is only necessary to call the attention of Major Greig to the above, and we have no doubt he will at once apply the proper remedy. DELEGATE MEETING OF POWER-LOOM WEAVERS OF NORTH AND SOUTH LANCASHIRE, AT BOLTON.-012 Sunday a delegate meeting of the above associaticn was held in the Temperance Progression Room, Bolton, having been adjourned from the 24th of last month, for the purpose of hearing the report of the various districts not then represented as to the propriety of memorialising their employers for an advance of wages. The attendance was slender. There were delegates from Preston, Black burn, Chorley, Great Harwood, Accrington, Over Darwen, and Oldham. A Preston delegate occupied the chair. A considerable number of delegates spoke as to local efforts to prevent Pertain manufacturers from paying at lower rates for particular classes of w .rk. The BI ckburn delegate said they were quito ready to memorialise the employers for a rise if other districts would unite in doing so. The Chorley and Preston delegates said the same ; but the Over Darwen dele gate said they had recently got a ten per cent, advance, and did not just 'like to ask for another. After a very long discussion, a motion to memorialise for an advance was put. Four voted for it. Some conversation then arose as t o L h e propriety of carrying the resolution out, a feeling being expressed that it would be hetter to get more efficiently organised first, and at length it was resolved that a memo rial should be prepared by the secretary, at Blackburn, a copy forwarded before printing to each district, and that the memorial should be presented to their employers on or before Monday, the 20th of October, and th a t th e meet i ng of delegates be adjourned until Sunday th e 2 n d d ay o f November, to be held i n the same room, for the purpose of hearing the result. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING Business affairs remain without any change since the close of last week. The arrivals of produce have been pretty numerous—the markets are well supplied without any noticeable variation in price. Our Cotton Market supports the same firm feeling noticed in our remarks of yesterday. Holders, looking for a rise, supply the market sparingly, but an advance cannot be firmly established, at least as long as the Neapolitan question remains in its present position, and there is the dread of an advance in the rate of interest by the Bank of England. To-day 10,000 bales exchanged hands, very full prices were paid, and speculators and exporters took about 5,000 bales. There has been considerable fluctuation in the Liverpool Share Market to-day. At the commence ment of business there was much weakness, and prices receded from the opening quotations, after- , . wards it improved, and Closed firm at the best prices of the day. The business comprised Black burn, 7 15.16. Lancashire and Yorkshire, 96, London and North Western Stock, 102, 7 t. Manchester, Sheffield, and Uncoln ; 32k, Midland, 78, 74. 1, 4.

L I 1 There is considerable irregularity in the general aspect of the Money Market, and although the demand continues pretty active, we cannot report any additional pressure. The October dividends, which are now looked for, are expected to produce a more easy feeling in monetary circles, although there are parties who entertain a totally different view, and act upon the idea that the Bank of England will advance the rate of discount to 5 per cent. Money in the Stock Exchange is rather easy at 4 Der cent. The Public Securities are still depressed, and that, too, without any apparently legitimate cause; for although our relations with Naples is of a somewhat warlike nature, no one an tici pates anything approaching an open rupture. King Bomba, no matter how he may bounce and bluster, does not entertain the most distant idea of court ing a discharge of our heavy guns against the walls of his capital. He well knows what we did at Sebastopol, and the heavy fire of the Allied artil lery he dreads within his inmost soul. Parties, therefore, who operate in the Consol Market under the influence of the idea that there will be a war with Naples, are far mistaken. We expect and hope that the monetary condition of the country will take a turn, and that ere many days there will be increased facilities for discounting good com• mercial paper. To-day Consols opened weak, at a decline upon the closing rates of the previous evening. Later in the day a better feeling sprung up, and they left off rather firmer. The opening price of account was 94, after which 948 was paid. For transfer dealings were reported, first at 94, then 93k was accepted, and also 933, but from that point they regained the opening price 94, closing steadily at 934 to 94, and for the account, at 94 to 94,1. The last price of Exchequer Bills was 14s to 17s premium. The London Share Market was rather firmer, and partially recovered the depression of yesterday. The sales, however, were only limited in extent.

Harvest operations, however, except in very late and humid localities, are all but completed, so that little damage can be sustained by the present rainy season. This opinion is confirmed by the fact, that all the corn markets in the United King dom are on the decline. At our Corn Exchange, to-day, wheat declined is to 2s per bushel ; flour was the turn lower, and most other articles of the trade met with little or no alteration. We may further observe, that the arrivals of the past week into Liverpool, have been upon a moderate scale from America, as anticipated ; but there is still a large quantity of wheat in course of landing here, the greater portion faulty in condition, and inferior in quality. The reports from the Leeds and Hull markets held to-day, coincide with these remarks respecting the trade here. The trade in Manchester has manifested an upward movement. A moderate business was reported to-day at the full prices of last week. Accounts from Rochdale report that the market held there yesterday was quiet, and the business transacted meagre in extent, Some of the manu facturers complain that for many years past they never knew operations so flat as this season. Usually, the month of September is a very active one for orders and trade generally ; but there is very little doing now, and stooks must in some hands be slightly increasing, though the current trade is considerable, but in small quantities. In Yorkshire goods fully as much has been doing as last week, at similar rates. From Bradford we have the following report of yesterday's market :—The attendance of buyers has been very small to-day, and purchases have only been very limited. In spite, however, of the quiet markets we now experience, the raw materials wool and cotton seem to be increasingly firm, and therefore tend to make matters extremely awkward for both manufacturers and merchants, as prices now, unremunerative as they are, seem to be any thing but conducive to orders. The following is a statement of traffic receipts by passenger and goods trains on the Great Western Railway of Canada, for the week ending sth September, 1856, and for the corresponding period last year:—Week ending sth Sept., 1856, total receipts, 12,2931. 14s. 7d.

The news from Paris mention that two agents de change on the Bourse have been examined as wit nesses before the Juge dinstruetzon. regarding the sale of shares by the cashiers of the Northern o f France Railway Company. It is said that the company has given . notice to all the holders of such shares that they will either be paid in money for the same, or receive new shares on there being returned. It is said that Baron Rothschild has advanced a sum for this purpose at the low rate of 3 per cent. A number of sh are h o ld ers h ave already complied with the proposal of the company. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT PARIS, MONDAY EVXNING. The Journal des Debats, which generally der iret° its information from the best diplomatic sonreag' publishes to-day some important news respecting Naples. It is that England and France hard decidedly determined on sending each four vessel i and four frigates to Naples, to present a sort OA. ultimatum to the King, and in the even t of its 11°5 being accepted, which is not at all likely , diploall: tic relations are to be broken off. Thc Fr of Minister, M. Brenier, is to retire on board ar e to the French vessels, and the united squadron ar e , o remain in the Bay of Naples to protect flgl+ll,o and French subjects. The vessels of th -e countries, before proceeding to Naples, are tan 3 - e at Ajaccio. As, however, the King of NaPle 3 present at Gaete, theDebats thinks there will be s °'" little delay in obtaining his answer to the ult ini .; turn. The Debats adds that the .2l7oniteur 0, shortly publish a note t'v explain the o bject of inW Allies—and this note, it sap, will prt:bably be 11 16 in accordance with the language used by the French and English Pltn)iP c " ° , tiaries at the Peace Cwagress—that is to 133• T 13 a i will discourage any revolutionary movement/ 11'o will state that the Allies are anxious to preven t i ; i6 outbreak by obtaining justice for the pcopl e • in ,, Debats hints that England is the main tro ve ? l i v. the demonstration,—and that France follows i ll r. ,, somewhat reluctantly. It hints, too, that the "P 5 e , liamentary necessities" of Lord Palmerston b a i l e , caused it. It even says that the " King of N lll:4e d will not be so seriously menaced by it as 1:13- ; seem, and that it will no doubt long prese rre o negative character." The Debats further 018 °lg that Austria really attempted to induce the s , of Naples to make concessions to the Allies, 1:°00, vain.
