TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DA.ILY TIMES. SIR,—To do an act beneficial to an individual is commendable—to perform one of utility and kindness to a-family of individuals is worthy of praise -r-but -to originate ; and consummate a deed. influentially and universally . advantageous to a whole community,' and an entire state, is surely to challenge at once the admiration and the gra titude , of that community, and of that state ; evincing, as it does;, benevolence capable of being ethicil . beyond self; stepping forth out of its Own' innate personality into an enter world, and there' requiring liberal support, and generous encourage ment. Such an act—such a performance—has been executed by the Northern Daily Times, over which you so. ably preside, in Liverpool, where it was so urgently required: It is now, however, a broad and, palpable fact, and to yourself ,is due, that meed of praise which I would, though - feebly and inadequately . ; essay to place on record in the columns of your own patriotic print. It required no small confidence in your own powers—it deManded no inferior amount of patriotism, and no little or unintelligible commer cial risk, to enter upon a field that was so pre occupied by weekly, semi-weekly, and daily papers, that .were serving : ont_ in. rich abundance the Radical pabulum that- T wos to poison the patriotic; and overthrow the wavering. mind. The Northern Daily Times, however, boldly stepped 'forth, and 'gallantly threw down the gauntlet into the arena, where it now holds an unflinching and undaunted position and such is the apparentr result-that it requires Roll/host', from the_ grave to assure:us of a suc cessful issue, that shall reward the heart that conzeiVed, the courage that dared, the patriotism that haiarded the . .capital required for so great an experiment, and the confidence that could itiffor the commensurate return,—a return that should yield a commercial equivalent for risks incurred, and the patriotism , so boldly placed 'on the altar of ConStitutionali3m as a. counteractive those to peripatetic firebrands that have so long Uogbled the Israel of our loved and noble country, playing, as those. firebrands , did and ,do, on the ignorant, . tampering with- the uninformed, and paving the way to a democracy through the fiery channel of revolution, by seducing the patriot from his 'allegiance to the monarchy, and trans- . forming..him into the dissatisfied'and ever giiihbhngßadical, ready for any mischief. Sir, I dared not attempt, if I Could adequately perform, an act of justice to yourself for the introd.uction of a daily . Conervative paper 'where it was so much wanted. It is for an enlightened Liverpool Conservatiye ,cominunity, gratefully and liberally to perform, that necessary act. But when we consider first, that Liverpool holds the ;,foremost place in loyalty ; and secondly, that it was ever highest in exertion for the,ti promotion and support of those. prin ciples that have made us the admiration, as well as earned for .us • the jealous enmity of the world, well may we ask the reason! for its declension so far into Radicalisni as to succumb to a disgraceful devolution of our parliamentary representation. Alas ! the cause is obviouS. Fancied security of possession of the citadel, which.had been,„raised by previous and prolonged exertionS,—repase en, the conviction that a bar rieruhad been raised impregnable to either overt or covert attacks to sap the foundation of that soluid -.Constitutional political morality, which once pervaded the entire of our Liverpool com munity. The'' leaders who had so nobly origina ted, and so triumphantly led those principles to victory at the hustings, at last settled down aeon their oars, refired, laden with wealth, to tlie sift, enervating pillow of enjoyment in their riednetive suburban residences, leaving the camp nnafficered, and the trenches unprotected. The iesti' it was inevitable; the enemy entered the citadel, and sowod tares, which grew and waxed retttrim& - -thoseloyal leaders of a loyal popula tion awoke , to find the successful teachings of years—humbled to the dast, _and an attitude_of equality .assumed' that threatened ';ascendancy. That ascendancy, to Our shame be it said, exhibit 'ed itself first in weekly, then in semi-weekly, and now in daily antagonist prints, which, howcy,er 'ably conducted, 'are but too prone to teach, political doctrines that unsettle and disturb the mind of the hard-working, artisan, making iridifferent'servant, a; worse subject, " and the easy tool of the designirig. This state of things continued so long, that little may we wonder that the • Whig-radical, and revolutionary. Prints were left' in uninter rupted possession of the field to indoctrinate igno rant and partially educated` minds With principles: Awitiehowhen massed , into phalanx, were not only calculated to engender, but likely to mature into practice, conceptions trenching on national safety, —that lead to national disruption, place us at the mercy of the foroi zner, and iiltimately make the greatest nation,the World has yet seen the mere province of,,allither empire. Such was the re sult of that supineness which, ` 74: bPued in the luxury of its ow n self-crea ted . Nvetath, left the: former field of honour for the decadefic e of present ease, when, to our gratification, the counteraction showed itself' lit the Northern DAILY Times--:, gloriously emphatic)--... (yes, let me say "daily" which shot . like a meteor across our political by horizon, at once delighting and instructing, its well-written leading articles, itsrable editorial management, and its patriotic principles. The C.Cl2. l A9riigtiyes;,of Liverpool may,, therefore, well exult in a claiiy journal that will' fairly stand side by side with its metropolitan contemporaries, nor fear a comparison in either literary qualifica tionforin early and Copious intelligence. Let us, then, hope that your patriotic paper will meet with support from :'.the wealthy, the respectable middle class, the tradesman, arid'' the huMble inquiring artisan ; but espe cially of the first of my enumerated class, the ivealthy,--let them, abote all,' look to, and sustain it in its preserit efficiency, nor drive it to seek more saving, but humbler and less qua lified ability to give currency to principles that are to sustain the fabric of our Constitution, pil lared as it has. hitherto been on the affections of the people. The utility of a Daily Conservative paper cannot be over-rated. If the Liberals haie two, surely it is incumbent on the Conservatives to support one. The call upon our gratitude, as. Conservatives, is strong. The cause itself: is noble. The result—the sustainment of our glo rious 'Constitution in its integrity, and the pre-. servation of our religious and ipolitical freedom in their entire fulness : surely there is here suffi cient to demand our protection—to open the channels of sustaining liberality—to draw the public mind around a long desiderated attempt to redeem us from a disgraceful apathy, that pen ultimately , rencouraged the successful attempt to establish an adverse press; and ultimately flooded our-previously loyal townsmen with principles leading to anarchy and revolution. From which may. God preserve us !—Yours, gratefully and truly, BROOKVAL E. Nov. 30, 1859: WRECK )F THE ROYAL CHARTER TO.THE EDITOR 0 HE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES , DEAR SIR S i have sent Messrs.

These lie at Penrhes. These numbers as given here correspond with the numbers in my own BRITAIN'S MARITIME INTERESTS TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. "Her march is o 'er the mountain waves, 'TIM' home is on the sea." ~.,,,, • . , Sig,—The Times, in its late sneering article on the subject of the depression in British..shipping, admits that it is an interest of "immense national importance." This is an unequivocal admission from an adversary. The vital , importance of that main stay of our commerce and our safety, the British , Mercantile marine, is thus acknowledged on';a11 sides. ln an evil hour t however, the maxims of Adam Smith and the voice of experience and of ivisdOin were disregarded, and our whole ocean carrying ' 'trade was thrown:open to,the foreigner, who was ' allowed to-keep his own trade closed against us, -so that he has, at least, two strings to his bow ' wilile•wii , have but one: - ' . .

Another session of Parliament fast approache s .. In many seaport towns meetings have been hey,i, and action taken, in aid of th e suffering Shiprring Interest. - It appears odd that such secv.nig apathy sb.ould prevail in Liverpool (of aik other places) on such a subject. It is true she has spoken out 'through her delegates in London, on Tuesday last. Let her speak at home, where NORTTIERN DAILY TIMES every. man, woman, and child, interested in the prosperity of British Shipping.in this community, can: hear, her. TESTIMONIAL TO THE; tV. J. W. TWIST; INCUMBENT OF CHRIST CHURCH. There is a proper spirit abroad amongst us on the volunteer question, and the defence of the country. This , is as it should be ; but this is like resolving to make a stand only on the second line of ,defence, after our enemies have crossed our . first and_ chief line—the sea. Let us not forget that we must mainly rely on our sea, rather than on our land power for for safety, and existence. Now our tile marine is essential to our sea power It is in a prostrate condition, if not a decaying one. This is not. safe. I would therefore urge. the importance of Liverpool taking prompt and active steps, by a public meeting in the first place, and otherwise aiding the movement that is on foot for the relief of British Shipping, and showing our sympathy with it. The great Napoleon Sighed for nieS;, and Commerce." The ships Last evening, a gratifying testimonial of the good will of his congregation . : was ,presented to, the Rey. J. W.

Roger Haydock, .Watts, Routledge ' Pennington, James Lyon, Bright, FletCher, Osborn, MasOn, Ackers,` and Captain Bensfield. The CHAIRMAN, in openin g c , the proceedings; i said he could ngt help regretting that the force of circumstances ii iesponsi- had thrust him into a position the duties a bilities' of which he felt himself very unable to fad They knew they had all met here that evening for the Slips, IL-Merchant purpose of paying a tribute of respect and esteem to their worthy pastor, Mr. Twist ; and accompanying it, with some substantial manifestation of their good will, in the eilliie of a purse of gold. Now, it was not for shipshe put first hi the list ; could he rise from the dead, how he would wonder at England; " his greatest and mkosteOnstant foe ,'-' deliberatel y legislating for the increase of foreign, and the dise6uragement of British ships. That great man knew their importance, and looked on thein in the same light as did Adam Smith, and all ' our other political . writers of any note. I say again', therefore, let us arrange for an . carlypablic meeting being held of those interested in shipping; and of thoSefriendly to its prosperity. - There is no real apathy here on the subject.

Twist. recently by anonymous slanderers, in some of the public prints, misrepresenting his actions, misconstruing his motives, and doing all in their power to hold him up to public scorn and ridicule. If there was one thing which he (the chairman) had a supreme contempt for, it was an anonymous slanderer. The spirit of Englishmen recoiled with 'disgust from anything which savoured of treachery or disguise.- -'We . were not given `to stabbing men in the dark. The wily tricks of the serpent had, it was hoped, disappeared from amongst us ; but 'it seemed there were creatures still who, with craft and subtlety, were ever ready to pounce upon their victims, and pour out all the venom of their malice and wicked.; ness. (Hear, hear.) Addressing the Rev. Mr. Twist,' the Chairman continued,—From the poison of -such reptiles no man's character is safe. They are dangerous —I had almost said they are diabolical, But, vhile ittis a source 'of gratification to us to know that the enemy has signally failed in sowing the seeds of diisension and discord amongst us; it must be no less gratifying to you, sir, to find yourself surrounded by such a phalanx of firm friends and devoted followers; ready to do battle in your cause—alike ready to defend, you from the attacks of open enemies or from secret foes. (Applause.) I have great pleasure, therefore, sir, in presenting this testimonial to you, accompanied with this purse of gold, in the name of this congregation, and with our united , best wishes for youmhappiness and welfare, Aud. lam sure you will not prize it so much for its intrinsic value, as that it embodies in itself that _great spirit of Christian . _ sympathy which should ever exist between those who hold the mutual relationship of Oster and people. (Applause.) I will now call upon the secretary to read the address. Mr. LYON, the secretary, then read the following address : To the Rev. J. W. Twist, 31. A., Incumbent of Christ Church, Hunter-street. REVEREND AND DEAR Sire,--4 have been requested; by, a committee of members of. the, congregation of Christ Church to, express Our heartfeltsynipathy with you in the recentattempts that have been made.to disparage your efforts in the fulfilment of the duties of your office in this district. and to assure you of our deep convietifo , that Toar ministrationa have been most raltatuily . and zealously •performed. .• It is to us, your congregation, a matter of regret and surprise that such attempts have been "[lade ; - hut it is equally one of congratulation that they have carried with them their own, re ward ,• and we trust you may be long spared, undertlM blessing of Clod, tominister among His people as sincerely and earnestly as you have been enabled to do hitherto.. • , As a testimony of our sincerity in this matter, andto : Maric our•continued attachment to yourself and .our appreciation of your,teaching ; and considering that the stipend derived from the endowment of the church is So limited,' I am to tender for your acceptance the accompanying purse of- gold, whioh,•: though inadequately representing our feelings, we offer as the united and spontaneous' expression- of our regard and - esteem, in the fervent hope that you will receive it in the spirit in which it is offered.—Believe me, reverend and dear sir, yours most faithfully, Signed by N. mccumANE, Chairman of the Committee., The purse contained the sum • of £75. , The Rev. 1. W. TWIST, having received the testimo . null, said be must confeSs himself quite inadequate- to. express those feelings which, of allothers, he wouldihave wished most strongly and forcibly to state ; because when he saw himself .surrounded .by so many persons or all ages, of various conditions .in life, and of various' ranks, all joined fOr, to him, the most gratifying object as testifying their good will to himself personally. He must- be utterly- deVoid of all the feelings of -.the human heart if he did.-not most deeply and cordially thank them for :this , .. - mark of their great attention and kindness to him. The , Chairman had Men,. tioned the word " symi)athy ;" and he might be permitted, perhaps, to say, that the word was dear to his mind, and that a clergyman, in common with . all professional men whatever, was deeply concerned in winning the good: feeling,. and regard of those amongst whom his lot was cast . ; and for two reasons, first, If, by their s'mpathy with him, he succeeded in w inning their goewill and attachment and affection, it opened for . him towards them a door of access - which would otherwise be closed against him-in his,mi,nistra tions ; and, secondly, with regard to his private .happi nescand -comfort, no man could be so misera.ble ana wretched as a clergyman froni whom the feelinssOf his flock were alienated instead of being in friend Ship with him. - On those two grounds, then, he was most deeply sensible of the . high honour which had been paid him.that:night. Referring back to -the course of his experience, he, only say, and after ; the example of the. Apostle Paul, he must say, he gloried in it, and he was proud I to confess it, 'that he had been singularly happy and fortunate in thatPrespect-.- He had ministered in communities olthe most various and' opposite..kiads, He had laboured , amongst the sons of peers of tbe,realna on ,the one hand, and ainonpt the poOr in a 0 000000000 • en the other hand; in addition to which he hieilig; laboured as a missionary amon g st the negrOes in 'the "- 14;.VVILLLkM '6OLBOTT - RN ° E il ' SUpPortin i g the reselu- - West Indies,- and had• received the most hearty and ;ion said he believed if the elation - of war should be :kind 'testimonials: of ;his :.acceptability in that. ,sphere.

TO THE EDITOR OF TILE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. SIR,—In attendinga meeting at the Collegiate Institution, last Wednesday evening, I was much gratified in hearing the opinions of the various speakers, and to see such energy and determina tion displayed in carrying out the,,interesting movement of the Rifle and Artillery Corps,,and was no less pleased ; to see on the platform, advocating" in the strongest terms this really patriotic cause, two of our most worthy and highly-respected clergymen, I mean the Rev. Mr. Lomas and the Rev. Mr. Macnaught, and hope to see them attend these meetings , more frequently ; for, what was said by them came with_ double weight and was quite tothilpoint, but there has always b,een a strong conviction on my mind that all the Rifle Corps in England ~would be very incomplete and of little avail in. case of an attack without that auxiliary and great , connecting link—a corps of Cavalry Volun teers, without, which, to use a soldier's ; phrase, all will. be but moonshine, or a flash in the pan. I would therefor urge upon his Worship the , Mayor,.and the municipal authorities, the nacos sity,of calling a meeting on this very important subject, and am sure the same patriotic feeling will be shown,. and have no .doubt 400 or 500 would enrol , themselves immediately. The start being made from this point is sure to succeed ; andi at the same time,,l would, advise a consulta tion with the Earl of Derby, the Earl. of Sefton, and Sir, Robert Gerard, Bart, who will be male to say whether I am -right or-wrong in the opinion I have given. Hoping to see a corps fornied before the close of 1859,—Your obedient servant, A CAVALRY OFFICER. December 2, 1859. PEOPLE'S LECTURES to a6Cordifice with public announcement,' Dr.:Lan kester, superintendent of the animal product and food department at the South Kensington Museum, delivered' the first of a course of six lectures on " Food,!' in the. Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street;-yesterday evening, the subject being -" Water ;" T. D. Anderson, Esq., Mayor, presiding. The c.umums.ii read a letter froth Mr. Horsfall, and also - One* from "Mr. Ewart, expressing the re,;ret that these gentlemen felt in not being ,able 'to attend. He thaiPsaid he was aware that he owed the honour olltlling the chair that evening to his official 'pod-, tion, and he assured them that it. gave hiui very great pleasure to be present,_u.s..,,a member of this great community. People's lectures were going to be tried igutlifit ) town experikent, l and were intended for the working classes, mho: he hoped would 'avail themselves of them... Several lectures had been given in London and,Minehester.with very great,success, and he believed he wag het' .vropLg'in stating that that course Of Teetifrei been delivered by Dr. - Lankester,'aethe request of the Committee. of the Conncil of Education, in London:v/0A great deal had been done for the working classes of -late—schools had been opened, and libraries and other institutions had been established,- : which had been of very great benefit to them ; and though there had. been a very great. number. of lectures in this town of late, none -of them had been for the working claAses.., The Committee—or rather, he ought to say, the indefatigable' secretary to the committee—had spared no pai!ns or trouble in endeavouring to Make tbese lectures acceptable, and with a view to getting . ' as large a number as possible of the working classes to -attend the charge of admission had been made merely nominal. Hetherefore sincerely hoped that the workuig classes would avail themselves of the 'opportunity. The:com= mittee had made these lectures as attractive as possible, and the services of a lecturer , for that evening had been secured'whote, name was sufficient to stamp the cha racter of the lectures. Dr. Lankester had lectured at. Manchester, Leeds, and Hull, and he had also kotured in the Collegiate Institution of this town with great success. There was '."one thing which he wished tormention; and that was, that after-the lecture had been deliiered;l-gentlemen 'of 'position and expe rience would attend and give-their views of the articles bf food of , which the ‘lecturer .would treat. Igle Veobld not detain them longer, but tall upon Dr. Lankester to ito;a:ddress *lra. (Applause.) Dr. LANnesrnn commenced his address by observing that - the, subject of which he was to treat was one ; of greai interest and' importance.; to the . world. It 'was necessary that every one Should understand the question of food, as great evils had arisen from a want of know- Iddge on the Itilbject.' He gave 'as instances the ravages that-Scurvy often Made' on shipboard, during. long voy ages, and the . disasters that befel our army in the Crimea. He—proceeded to explain the properties. of food, by which the body is. -nourished, and the varions elasses of food, .dwelling . more especially .on.,thp aqueous. 41a55... , ,He showed that water was one of the ~most essential,; constituents of the human .and indeed of all bodies; and also, the-per centage of water that existed in all-solid articles of food. He mentioned that in lieland the quantity of potatoes • conSumed by the working classes at one. time was extraordinary. Thislhe ac- . counted for hY the large proportion of water in potatoes. the'variont kihds of water were also - pointed out; and On this point he mentioned that river -and surface , well water was the most likely to contain, a considerable quantity of organic matter. - Throughont -.the,Mt) structive address the lecturer was frequently applartded loudly by hia:litdience: .• -vete.of thanks was then pralosecl IlaY ior for . hisk4. 4 attendance ' e ; and he acknowledged,thergompli.. ripept,hy,ebeliv.44 th a t wben Mr. Samuelso:ii Oiled Awn Juni to invitee bird to take the chair, ht: .. thonilit it wag not his duty to decline the invitation,' tho u gh he hatother pressing - engagements, as he feltl om the high honour that his fellow townsmen haelilar,e 3 hini, that it lids his duty to encourage as far as his time *feuld ,- ,per- Mit, anything that would be of benefit to-.his fellow townsmen and to the massess of the community:: (Ap plause,) He was sure they had,:been instructed and interested by the lecture which fney 'had jnst heard— (hear, hear,) —and he would say, for one, that though ,he expected much from what he l aad heard of the lebturer, lecture, .a s hie expectation had been more -than realised, and in this he was sure they all amre , ad. •He congratulated Mr. Samuelson'and Mr.- Kendall upon the success of the first The meeting .a n r e g e ely attended, and F i e hoped that the mumbers . would and a I use ) .1" had never ernheeerr, separated,seen ptph applause.) first . of: a course so DECEMBER 3, 1859. • , to him.

It was simply a matter of ill-feeling ; nothing else than that. However, nothing should deter him from following that moderate course which' he' had adopted,' it would seem, with no inconsiderable success hitherto. (Hear, hear.) felt most deeply the kindness ,of his congre gation in 'coining forward on that occasion' to defend and support him from what they aonsidered:unmetited injury . and obloquy ; and he could only conclude with an expression Of a fervent hope 'that* every clergyman and : minister ins the land might be, bleased with such a body of staunch friends as he had the honour to see ral lying round him that evening: (Loud applause.) - A:vote of . thanks was accorded to the Chairman, - on the motion of.

He then called upon Mr. Ewart, M.P., to move the first resolution. Mr. EwART, who was received with prolonged ap plause, said, " Ladies and gentlemen, I have very great pleasure indeed in being present on this occasion. That pleasure is very much enhanced when I recollect that I had not the gratification of witnessing the ceremony which took.place a short time ago in St. George's-hall. But I had the honour of being present at these meetings which inaugurated the rifle movement in Liverpool. Mary Cross, beerhouse-keeper, Blackstock-street, sc ° summoned for permitting drunkenness.
