THE DAYS NEWS.

The meeting at the Concert Hall last night, was
everything that the most ardent friends and sup-
porters of the Liverpool Financial Reform
Association could wish for. The great gun of the
evening, was Sohn Arthur Roebuck, Esq., M P. for
Sheffield. His speech on this oceaeion was in his
usual Masterly style, and will well repay perusal
by our readers. We give an ample report 'of
the proceedings in to-day's publication. Whilst
'the
agitation for Financial Reform, reduc-
tion of the Income Tax, &0., &c., is going on, more
taxes, we hear, are looming in the distance. The
rumour is that the East ndia Company is only
to pay half the expenses of the Persian war,
while the other half is to come from the national
revenue. At the same time we are told that
the Government has consented to pay the
test India Company a disputed claim of some
600,0001 in connection with the old Chinese opium
War. These arrangements will, as a matter of
?Inurse, make the budget of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer look a little serious, considering that
'doubts are entertained about the statement .of
Lord Pattmare concerning the curtailment, of the
'army and navy estimates. The estimates for the
l'tenty and navy, it is expected, will be 422,000 000
'this year—rather a large sum for a year of peace.
The usual weekly meeting of the Dock and
Health Committees were held yesterday ; but the
hroceedings at each were quite unimportant. The
ealth of the town is comparatively good, the deaths
last week being only 218, 37 less than the
average of the corresponding week of the preced-
ing nine years. This is equal to 28 to 30 deaths
annually in the 1,000. The mortality of Liverpool
is by no means so low as that of London. During
"1856, the public health of the metropolis was
" unusually good." For ten years the annual
deaths have been on the average of 25 in the 1,000,
while, in the year 1856, the proporticn was 22 in
the 1,000. These results we 'glean from a summary
just published, of births, 'deaths, and. causes of
detths, in London, during the last 15 years.
The investigation by the magistrates of the riot
'on board the American ship J. L. Bogart, in the
Mersey, was resumed at Birkenhead, yesterday.
From the evidence adduced on the occasion, it
would appear that the men in custody, had been
set upon and beaten in the most brutal manner by
the first and second mates The conduct of both
mates was proved, to the satisfaction of the
tnagistrates, and no doubt to the public also, to be
of the most ferocious description ; and, it was
held that the prisoners were justified in resisting
the attempts which, undoubtedly, had been made
on their lives; and they were accordingly die-
charged. Jones, one of the crew, who had
wounded the first mate by a pistol shot, was
liberated on 251 bail, to answer any charge that
anight be prefered against him, arising out of such
wounding. The second mate was remanded on
the charge of unlawfully wounding one of the
crew now lying in the Northern Hospital.
• We have interesting news from the Continent
this morning. The Imperial Prince is convalescent.
Cardinal Merlot, Archbishop of Tours, will, in all
probability, be the new Archbishop of Paris. He
refused the appointment twice, preferring by far
remaining at Tours, 'where he is much liked ;
and it was only at the earnest request of the
Emperor, as a personal favour, that he consented.
The choice seems to be generally approved;
except perhaps by the Ultramontane party. The
petition which Verger has addressed to the
Emperor fills four pages,and displays some literary
ability, but is humble and suppliant iu tone. It,
however, shows that the petitioner considers him-
self different from the rest of mankind, and be
lieves in his own infallibility'. He declares in the
course of it that Christianity requires regeneration,
and that the inferior clergy ought to be enfran-
chiied from the yoke of the higher. He declares,
too, that he looks on himself as the Peter the
Hermit of a new crusade ; and that, being deter-
mined to announce his mission by a coup d'etat,
he had selected for a victim the highest dig-
nitary of the Church. He, however, adds that
his condemnation to death has not surprised
him, as a great judicial manifestation was
required for so illustrious a death, but
that that bare manifestation is sufficient
satisfaction to social order, and that to go
beyond it would bo unjust and impolitic. He
therefore prays that, instead of being put to death,
lie may be subjected to a noble and honourable
exile ! -
The Constitutionnel mentions that the merchants
of Nantes have signed a petition to the Emperor,
appealing to the high and paternal solicitude of his
Majesty in favour of the numerous French citizens,.
at the destruction of Greytown, by order of the
Government of the United States, on the 13th of
