WE published yesterday, a letter from Sir GEORGE STEPHEN, in reply to some observations which we made in a leading article on the preceding day, with reference to the anomalous manner in which the law is administered at the Birkenhead Police Court. In that letter the writer attempts to justify the course adopted; and furnishes his reasons for so doing. We shall examine, seriatim, those rea sons, and make such comments thereupon as may seem. expedient. In the first place, the writer endeavours to re move the onus from the shoulders of the magistrates, and place all the responsibility on his own. He observes : " It was in compliance with my solicita tion, as counsel for the prisoner, that, in this instance, they departed from their usual course." Sir GEORGE is by no means backward in making the admission that, in the case to which particular reference is made, there was a departure from ordinary precedent. But can the writer have forgotten that, but a few weeks before, a similar policy had been pursued ? The writer's second plea is more startling still; and if we know anything respecting the practice of the " bar," is out of the ordinary rule. He states, " I requested them (the magistrates) to do so, be cause, from the nature of the case, I knew that I must rely on the inconsistencies of the witnesses for the prosecution." We are very willing to admit the sagacity and penetration of our learned cor respondent, and should be far from conveying any impression contrary to the conclusion arrived at by the Bench in the case for which he was counsel; but, at the same time, regarding the principle in volved, we think the precedent an exceedingly dangerous one—than which, in our estimation, nothing could be more calculated to defeat the ends of justice, and make the law itself conducive to lawlessness. If counsel can take the administra tion of the law into their own hands—pronounce judgment as to "the nature of the case," upon ex parte evidence, and that from the quarter to which they are opposed—and " rely on the inconsisten cies of the witnesses" on the opposite side, without having that evidence fairly produced in open court —then, indeed, the sooner we have a radical reform the better: Our correspondent supports the private hearing of the case on the following ground :—" Had the examination been adjourned, as I expected it would be, the publication of the evidence in the interim might have enabled some of the witnesses collusively to reconcile their statements." Now, with all due deference to the writer, we regard his argument as very untenable. We apprehend, that if such a precedent can be legally established, it might legally be adopted in every instance. If such an objection can be received in one court and in one case, we see no reason why the same should not be received in all courts and in all cases. Then, at the whim of any stripling of the bar, or pettifogging attorney, the court might be ordered to be cleared, and the reporters of the Press sent about their business, to pocket the " summary pro cess" they had so unconstitutionally received ; whilst the public might look in vain in the columns of the morning papers for the " Police Intelligence ; " and Mr. Justice SHALLOW might deliver his grave decisions, and pronounce legal judgment upon all cases within the range of Cturry's " Collection of Statutes, "—none making him afraid. No doubt this would be a " con summation devoutly to be wished" by numskulled and bungling justiciaries, many of whom use Coke only to burn it, and can no more judge of Statute laws than they can of Statuary ! However, we are glad to find that Sir GEORGE STEPHEN " entirely concurs " in the " general principle" we laid down, although he does not admit of its universal application. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule; but it requires no small vigilance to guard against the rule itself becoming the exception. We again assert that, admitting the propriety— we wont say legality—of clearing the criminal court on especial occasions, it was most unprece dented and unconstitutional to eject the recognised representatives of the public Press. These parties could not be influenced either one way or the other ; and most assuredly, if they did not further the ends of justice, would not do aught to frustrate it. At a time when the letters of " SIGMA " are appearing in the columns of the Morning Chronicle, and the London press is exposing and denouncing the conduct of our Northern magis tracy, it is rather a curious coincidence that the authorities at Birkenhead should have laid them selves open to censure. However, we trust that our gentle reproof will be taken in the spirit in which it is meant ; and that we will, in future, be spared from performing so painful a duty, and one which would not have been undertaken by us,.. were there not high trusts and important interests at stake. SECRET Diplomacy and Electric Telegraphs are becoming the greatest mystifiers of political movements. Wars are threatened—invasions take place—battles are fought—blood is shed—England loses millions—and yet secret diplomacy forbids the publication of the remotest whisper of au thentic information, by which immediate losses might be anticipated, and future danger averted. Telegraphs are, in fact, our only diplomatic oracles, and if we were to extol their veracity, it would be to inflate falsehood with the air of truth. The conflicting statements and false rumours which have been published by telegraphs since the commencement of the Russo-Turkish war, are, in themselves, so dangerous to the best interests of this country, that some means must be promptly adopted to check the evils which are sure to arise from the publication of fictitious dis !lispatches in the absence of authentic ministerial intelligence. As a proof of the systematic line of falsehoods published by the continental telegraphs, we would direct particular attention to the two conflicting statements which appeared in the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, as well as in the London papers, of yesterday. One or other of those two statements must be a posi tive falsehood. And it is a matter of no moment to the public which of them is true or false, either doing a certain amount of m i sc hi e f in would—bythi this country—answer the purpose of a designing foe, or a stock jobbing blackleg. Looking at this growing and uncontrouled source of danger, we do not hesitate to advocate at once a perfectly open and undisguised diplomacy, which shall, in a periodical bulletin, publish all such intelligence as-- will enable the fundholdor, merchant, ship owner, and large produce-holders, to conduct their business with the utmost degree of safety possible, and, at the same time, defeat the nefarious FRIDAY NEXT.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1853 THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. schemes of designing knaves who are always ready to batten on the trading and commercial disasters of this country. There may be many matters connected with our diplomatic affairs which it is obviously necessary ought to be kept secret, in order that the ends in view might not be defeated. But in such a case as the present, where two countries are at open war, where shall we find a shadow of excuse for withholding from the com mercial interests at stake the earliest official information connected with movements of the con tending parties ? There can be no argument advanced in justification of a system of secrecy. which exposes every class of the community to the risk, if not positive certainty, of being unnecessa rily plundered. The immense losses which have overtaken the English fundholders within the past three months, could not have occurred if the Foreign office had pursued an open, candid, and consistent line of policy. The intelligence we published yesterday, as coming from Trieste, is of the most alarming character—lF TRUE ; and even if it should turn out to be false, which is likely enough, great mischief will have been done before the public) mind can be relieved of the serious ap prehensions which such reports must cause. If, on the other hand, we find that POST MAHOMED has really formed an alliance with the CZAR, then, indeed, a strong suspicion will attach itself to that secret diplomacy which has not foreseen or ad vised the public of such a probability. In concocting the plot of a novel, the most start ling incidents are reserved, to give effect to the closing chapters of the romance; but we question very much if this belles lettres mode of handling our foreign portfolio will be quite as acceptable to the general reader. The alliance of Russia and Persia can have but one object—one ambition ; and it could never have been accomplished, but for one fault in our governmental system, namely—secret diplomacy! Our Indian empire would not be in the danger it is, if a bold and above-board policy had been followed in the Foreign-office. The Muscovite and the Tartar could not have done, unknown to England, what it appears it has accomplished by stealth, under the nose of the British ministry. The confirmation of the intelli gence of last night, however, will, if we are not much mistaken, be followed by some unmistak able popular demonstrations on the subject of our existing foreign relations, which will render any further secret diplomacy impossible. If British India is to be sacrificed to Russian ambition, it is to be hoped that the British public will themselves present their offering at the shrine of the autocrat and his enlightened allies. Fortu nately, St. Petersburgh is not one of those in accessible points of the globe where the English cannon could not perform a prominent part in giving effect to the popular views and feelings of this country. With regard to the formidability of Russia as an enemy, we repeat, that it really amounts to little when we take into account the strength of the enemies that exist in her own bosom and on all her frontiers. Her whole forces have been employed in subjugating nation after nation, and, although she has succeeded in bringing them to subjection, still they are ready to take up arms against the common enemy. Political hirelings and interested partisans may labour as hard as they please, to lead us to believe that Russia is as great a military power as she was in 1814 ; but she is really nothing of the sort. At that time she was more feared than detested. She was not in debt—her treasury was well filled —while she was largely subsidised by other coun tries, and, above all, the Russian people were less disposed for peace and more prone to war than they are at present. In mere brute force she has grown vastly, it is true, but how immensely greater has been the growth of our fleets—how much we haVe advanced in our knowledge of Russian ports, rivers, military positions, and general resources. In a word, Russia's over whelming strength is but a mere conventional bugbear, and the only danger to be apprehended is, that time may be allowed to enable her to draw round her as allies those powers which have, for good or evil, become the subjects of this and other countries whose progress in civilisation the AUTOCRAT knows must eventually hurl him from the throne of a base despotism, and reduce him to the level of a constitutional monarch, who, in obedience to the popular voice, would be bound to administer justice in mercy. The possibility of such a transition is as difficult to believe as that of the petrefaction of an iceberg under . a tropical sun. THE NEW ELECTIONS FOR COUNCILLORS.—In conse quence of the appointment of Messrs. Toulmin, R. C. Gard ner, and S. Holme, to the rank of Aldermen at the Council meeting yesterday, vacancies have been caused in Pitt-street, Abercromby, and South Toxteth Wards. Mr. John Smith is already announced as a candidate for the representation of Pitt-street Ward, as will be seen by a reference to our advertising columns, and his return is regarded as certain. We understand that Mr. J. H. Brancker will be the can didate for Abercromby Ward, with every probability of success. We have not heard the name of any gentleman announced as Mr. S. Holme's successor in South Toxteth Ward. CIVIC HOSPITALITY.--Immediately on the conclusion of the business of the Council yesterday, the members of the Council were entertained by Mr. J. B. Lloyd, the newly elected mayor, to a splendid repast, which was served up in the mayor's dining-room. There was a large attendance. Mr. Lloyd in very neat and appropriate terms proposed the health of the late mayor, Mr. S. Holme and Mrs. Holme. The toast was heartily greeted, and Mr. Holme after acknowledging the compliment, proposed the healths of the new mayor and Mrs. Lloyd. This toast was also well received. The mayor responded. The company separated shortly after five o'clock. Several of Mr. Lloyd's friends and constituents dined together last evening to celebrate his election to the civic chair. DEPARTURE OF THE MARCO POLO.---At two o'clock yeS terday afternoon this noble ship left the Mersey for Mel bourne, having on board 620 passengers, a heavy cargo, and a considerable amount of specie. The crew, including stewards, &c., number 79, so that altogether the number of soule on board is 700. Two of the most powerful of the Steam Tug Company's vessels had been enga&ed to tow her out of port, and proceeded along with the ship. In order that there may be no detention, and that this celebrated clipper may have a fair chance of again performing the voyage in first rate style, the two steam tugs will not part company with her until, she arrives off Cork, in fact, clear of land. This is an excellent arrangement, and shows a liberal desire on the part of the spirited owners to consult the convenience and safety . of the passengers. She is amply provided with every description of creature comforts, and in all her arrangements the general accommodation, and even luxuries of the passen g ers, have been consulted. We have confidence that under her excellent commander, Captain Macdonald, she will make a rapid run out, and we heartily wish her success. CHOLERA ON BOARD ANOTHER LIVERPOOL EMIGRANT SHIP. —We regret to learn that cholera of a very malignant type has broken out on board the " Kossuth" emigrant ship, which left Liverpool on the 24th ult. for New York, having 609 passengers on board. She put into Queenstown on Sunday night last, when it appeared that two days after she sailed, cholera broke out on the person of a German emigrant, and that from that time up to the present, twenty-one deaths had occurred on board, and there were twelve more cases. Many of the passengers were labouring under diarrhoea, and the greater number were much depressed in spirits. The Lord Mayor's procession took place yesterday. In the evening there was a grand banquet at Guildhall, at which several of the cabinet ministers and judges were present. NEW MAYOR AND ALDERMEN AT SALFORD.—At a meet ing of the Salford Council, held yesterday, Mr. Win. Ross was elected Mayor, and Messrs. Harvey, Jenkinson, Hig gins, and Marsden, Aldermen. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The Trade and 'Navigation Returns, published in London this afternoon, show the following highly satisfactory results ;—exports of articles of British products, for the nine months just ended, 66,987,7291., being an excess of upwards of 12,500,0001. over those for the corresponding period last year, and about 13,500,0001. over those of 1851. Strange to say, the increase in the period to which those returns relate, the greatest increase is shown in the returns for the last month, ending the 10th of October. The increase for this period, as compared with the same period of 1852, is no less than 2,500,0001. The following are the articles for which the greatest demand has existed, and in which the increase is most observable : beer and ale have risen from 49,0001. to 97,000/. ; butter, from 39,0001. to 59,000/. ; herrings, 76,0001. to 126,000/. ; glass manufac tures, 30,0001. to 58,0001. ; haberdashery and millinery, 205,0001. to 521,000/. ; hardwares and cutlery, 303,0001. to 392,000/. ; wrought lea ther, 50,0001. to 129,000/. ; machinery and mill work, 169,0001. to 186,000/. ; iron bars, bolts, rod, &c., 336,0001. to 353,000/. ; wrought iron, 177,0001. to 317,000/. ; lead, 19,0001. to 67,000/. ; silk stuffs, 55,0001. to 100,000/. ; stationery, 46,0001, to 72, 0001. • The returns of the imports we shall publish in detail to-morrow, In the meantime we can state that they will be found highly satisfac tory. By the United States steam-ship Atlantic, which arrived in the Mersey this morning at six o'clock, from New York, we have advices down to the 29th ult., being four days later than those previously received. This vessel brings 98 passengers and 500,000 dollars on freight. The steamer Niagara, from Liverpool, with advices to the 16th ult., reached Boston on the 28th ult. Her mails were delivered in New York on the 29th. The steamer Hermann, also from Southampton, arrived at New York on the 29th, The steamer Northern Light, had arrived at New York from San Juan, with 1,500,000 dollars in specie, and advices from San Francisco to the Ist of October. The commercial news from the Golden State was deemed to be rather unsatisfactory. The large sums obtained as advances on goods stored, had it is stated, been, in almost every case, remitted to the Atlantic States ; renewals were consequently made with extra difficulty. The great staple of California— Gold Dust—came in slowly, but prices were un changed. With the commencement of the rainy season increased receipts were calculated upon. The letters for England from California, have been brought by the Atlantic. Die advices report the departure from San Fran cisco of the steamer Pacific for San Juan del Sud, with 460 passengers and $1,500,000 in gold, and the steamer Panama, for Panama, with $1,100,000 in gold. • The New York Money Market was said to be im proving. On call, money was freely offered, but long commercial paper was with difficulty negoci ated at the current rates. The contraction on the part of the banks, from the 15th to the 22nd inst., they contracted their discount lines $2,569,000, making, since the 6th August, upwards of twelve and a half millions of dollars. The decrease in the deposits last !week was $3,319,000. Foreign. Ex change was depressed by the scarcity of money. The quotations on London were from 1091 to 1.091.

Freights were also easier. To Liverpool, we notice engagements of 85,000 bushels wheat and 15,000 corn, at 13d. to 131 d. On the receipt of the news taken out by the Niagara,. the prices of flour and meal advanced from 61 cents. to 121 cents. While Canada was more freely offered at a decline of 124 to 25 cents. The Stocks were large and still increasing rapidly. The prices of grain had advanced from one to four cents. only, and this was confined to prime Southern and Western. The Cotton market was more active, and closed firmly at an advance of 4 tof of a cent per lb. The sales in-' elude 3135 bales for export, 2430 for home use, and 1678 on speculation—together 7243 bales. In the Provision markets there had been a further de cline in prices from 12* to 25 cents. Rice has undergone no change. The entire sales of the week amount to about 600 tierces at 3$ 25c. to 4$ 56+e., with one parcel superior old crop, 4$ 62te. cash. The Liverpool Cotton market was firm to-day. The sales amount to 5,000 bales, of which 1,500 were taken on speculation and for export. We are still without any confirmation of the reports which were circulated on Monday, and again to-day, res pecting the destruction of the crops by frost. The American papers are silent on the subject. Our Share market has been lower to-day. The public are not sellers at current rates, and there fore there is but little stock brought on the market. The London Stock Market was much depressed, owing to the alarming intelligence from the East, which appeared in the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES of thiS day, to the effect that Russia was endeavour ing to form an alliance with Dost Mahomed and Persia. This astounding news was received with the utmost alarm. Consols opened at 941 to 058, but they quickly fell to 941 to 94k. A further de cline is anticipated by speculators.

THE COUNTESS OF ELLESMERE, the swift steamer between Liverpool and Runcorn, came into collision in the river with a large ship, on Tuesday night, and sustained considerable damage. THE MURDER NEAR WINDSOR.—The inquest to enqnire into the murder at Burnham, was resumed on Tuesday. After a lengthened enquiry a verdict of wilful murder against Moses Hatto was returned, and he was committed to Aylesbury gaol to take his trial at the assizes. STRIKE OF THE TIMBER LABOURERS AT HULL.—A strike amongst the labourers employed in the large timber yards of Hull has just taken place. THE SHIELDS SEAMEN are at issue with their employers. They declare they will carry out the manning scale, and will not work with a mixed crew. Frnß.—Yesterday afternoon a fire broke out in the cellar under the old Fish Hall, in Charles-street, now used as the store for weights and measures. The cellar was occupied as a hay store by a Mr. Rothen. The fire brigade were immediately on the spot, and the fire was easily got under. NEW MAYOR AND ALDERMEN AT MANCHESTER.-At the Manchester City Council meeting, held yesterday, Mr. Ben jamin Nicholls was elected Mayor, and Sir Elkanah Armi tage, and Messrs.

DISASTER TO THE QUEEN OF TILE WEST.—This fine emigrant ship was towed into Queenstown on Monday after noon in a disabled state. She sailed from Liverpool for New York on 9th October, with 555 passengers, besides crew. She had a good voyage un til th e morning f the 21st Oct., when, off the land on the banks of Newfoundland, at about one o'clock, a.m., she was struck by a sea which carried away her bowsprit, main -mast, mizen-mast, and main-top mast, and completely swept her decks. She fell upon her beam ends and was kept down until the wreck was cut away, when she righted. In this disabled state she knocked about for some days until jury masts were rigged, and she had to be put about and run before thewind. On Sunday morning at four o'clock Cape Clear light was observed, and she was taken in tow on Monday morning by the Eagle tug, two miles outside this harbour. TOWN COUNCIL.-YE STERDAY. The first meeting of the newly-elected Council took place at twelve o'clock on yesterday, the MAYOR in the chair. There was a very full attendance of members. ELECTION OF MAYOR. The MAYOR said : Gentlemen, as there are no proceedings of any previous committee to be read, the first business of the Council is to elect the Mayor for thennsuing' municipal year. I am, therefore, prepared to receive any proposition which may be laid before us. Mr. Charles TURNER said I have been requested, Mr. Mayor, to propose a gentleman as your successor, in the high and important office to which you were unanimously elected last year, and the duties of which you have dis charged with so much credit to yourself, and in a manner so acceptable to the Council and beneficial to the public. (Hear, hear). I will not, Mr. Mayor, in your presence expatiate upon the manner in which you have performed those duties, farther than to say that whether in dispensing the hospitalities of the corporation, presiding over our deliberations in this chamber, or administering justice upon the bench, you have maintained, or I should rather say increased the very high opinion previously entertained of you by your fellow-townsmen, and that you leave this chair with the respect and esteem of the whole of this great community. (Hearn hear, and applause). In proposing your successor, sir, it is most agreeable to me to be enabled to name a gentleman who, eminently qualified for the office, will, I venture to anticipate, be acceptable to the Council and to the town. (Hear, hear). Mr. Lloyd is so well known and so universally esteemed that I. feel I need not say any-' thing to recommend him in this room to gentlemen with whom he has so long acted in the service of the public. The great good sense and discrimination evinced by Mr. Lloyd upon all occasions, and the consideration for the feelings of others with which he always expresses his opinions, render him a most valuable member of the Council, and I think especially qualify him for the duties of the chair, to the honour and dignity of which his services well entitle him. (Hear, hear). And, sir, I think it is especially fitting upon the present occasion that we should raise Mr. Lloyd to that honour, inasmnch as next year willprobably witness the com pletion of St. George's Hall, a building of which Liverpool has reason to be proud, and over the erection of wh ic h M r . Lloyd, as chairman of the committee, to whom the duty was entrusted, has watched with unwearied zeal and assiduity, and with which his name is in a great measure identified. Believing, sir, that he deserves that distinction at our hands, and that he is eminently qualified to maintain the dignity of the office and discharge its duties with efficiency, I have great pleasure in nominating Mr. Lloyd as Mayor for the ensuing year. (Applause). Mr. HORNBY said he had great pleasure in seconding the motion, that Mr. John Buck Lloyd be nominated as Mayor for the ensuing year, and he was quite sure that the Council could not elect a gentleman better qualified to become a worthy successor to their present chairman, or one who would be more likely to make them feel less sensitive as to the loss they were about to experience in being deprived of that gentleman's services. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Lloyd had been now for a great number of years actively engaged in dis charging the affairs of the Corporation, and the intelligence and urbanity which he always displayed gave them, he thought, a firm assurance that he would preside over the deliberations of the Council, and discharge the various im portant duties incident to the office, in a manner which would not only be satisfactory to themselves, but eminently to the advantage of the great and important community over which he would preside, and the interests of which it was their first duty to promote. (Hear, hear.) He believed an unanimous feeling existed in the Council upon the subject; and when every member of the Council was as well satisfied of Mr. Lloyd's merits as he was, he thought it would be trespassing most unjustifiably upon their time if he were to do more than express his entire approval of the motion which Mr. Turner had proposed, and his hearty concurrence in all which that gentleman had said upon the subject. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN asked if any other gentleman intended to propose a candidate, and no reply being given, said : Then I declare Mr. John Buck Lloyd duly elected to serve the office of Mayor of Liverpool for the ensuing municipal year. (Applause.) Mr. LLOYD then entered the room, and was warmly con gratulated. Having taken the usual oaths, Mr. Lloyd was then installed in the chair by Mr. Holme, who expressed his gratification at the result of the election, and wished Mr. Lloyd health and happiness. The MAYOR then rose and said : Gentlemen, permit me to offer you my sin cere an d gra t e f u l acknowledgments for the very high distinction you have conferred upon me by electing me Mayor of this great and important community. I will invite you to aid and assist me by y our countenance and support in maintaining the authority of this chair ; pos sessing 'which support, I can assure you that, as far as lies in my power, that authority shall be exercised with the most perfect impartiality, and in the manner most conducive to the interests of the inhabitants and the dignity of the Coun cil. (Applause.) Gentlemen, before we proceed to the business of the day, it is my pleasing duty to remind you of a good and ancient custom. On Sunday next, I shall pro ceed to St. Peter's Church, and I shall feel it as a compli ment to myself if you, or as many of you as can ilud it con venient, will honour me with your attendance there. (Loud applause.) ELECTION OF ALIMILICXN. The MAYOR said : The business, gentlemen, to which I have first to call your attention, is the election of eight per sons as aldermen to supply the places of the following gentlemen :—Mr. Thomas Bold, Mr. James Parker, Mr. Joseph Cooper, Mr. John Nelson Wood, Mr. James Procter, Mr. John Bramley-Moore, Mr. Edmund Molyneux, Mr. Thomas Chilton.
