OF THE

selves by this treaty for securing the internal peace
of Italy, make it their duty to preserve their States
and their respective subjects from new re-actions,
and from the misfortunes arising from imprudent
innovations, and it is, therefore, understood by the
high contracting parties, that his Majesty the King
of the Two Sicilies, on again taking into his hands
the government of his kingdom, shall not make
auy changes which are not in keeping with the old
monarchical institutions, and with the principles
adopted by his Imperial Royal Majesty in the
internal government of his Italian provinces. "
-In addition to the four Russian vessels of war
that have arrived at Kiel, a fifth has been signalled,
which will join the others. Two other men-of war
have been ordered to leave Cronstadt to join this
squadron, which is placed under the orders of
Rear-Admiral Berens. They had taken a large
quantity of coals to suffice for a long journey.

NORTHERN TIMES,

- The Moniteur contains the text of new con-
vention between France'and Belgium, lithiting the
right Of the latter Obulitky to give asylum to per-
sons charged with certain classes of political
offences. By the neW _ instrument the following
additional article is incorporated with previously
existing extradition treaties between the two
States :—" No criminal attempt against the
person of a foreign sovereign, or against the
members of his family, shall be held to be a
political offence, nor an incident of a political
offence, when that attempt shall constitute an act
of murder, assassination, or poisoning." The con-
vention will have the same duration as that of
Nov. 22, 1834, will be in full force ten days after its
publication, and the two conventions will be con-
sidered as simultaneously published by the publi-
cation of one of them. The Ministers of Justice
and of Foreign Affairs are respectively charged
with the execution of the decree embodying the
convention referred to.

BODY FOUND.—Yesterday the body of a man, apparently
a sailor, was brought to the dead-house. It was picked up
in the Clarence basin, and it is said death was the result of
accident. His name at present is not known. _

BROUGHAM LITERARY AND DEBATING SOCIETY.—This
society held their usual weekly meeting on Thursday even-
ing last. Mr. Chadwick occupied the chair. kir. William
Bernard delivered an address on the " French Revolution
of 1786." A debate ensued, and Mr. Bernard received a
vote of thanks from the society.
NEW POLICE SUPERINTENDENT.—Inspector Haimes was,
on Saturday, appointed a superintendent of police, in the
room of Mr. Brennan, who has been appointed chief clerk
in the office of the Head-Constable. Both these officers
are much esteemed, and have always been active and gentle-
manly in the discharge of their duty.

cated.

The first concert in connection with St. Silas's Working
Mens' Association, took place on Saturday evening, at eight
o'clock, in OA es'-street School Room, London Road. The
room was crowded with working men and their wives, and we
noticed on the platform Rev. Samuel Minton, Messrs. F. A.
Clint (town councillor), M. C. Jones, Joseph White, T.
Brackell, Ilenry Jackson, &c. Our distinguished townsman,
William Brown, Esq., M.P. (always foremost in good works),
presided, and opened the proceedings with a very instructive
address, exhorting the working classes to avail themselvet•
es as were held out by St. Silas's 'Working
Mens' AsEociaiion.

CORONER'S INLMESTS.—On Saturday, the Coroner held
the following inquests:—On the body of John Jones, of
Cable street. The deceased was working on board a ship
at the Prince's Dock, when, by some accident, be was
struck on the head by the handle of a winch, and death
resulted from the injuries. Verdict, " Accidental death."
—On the body of Michael Keating, a plasterer, who died in
the Royal Infirmary, in consequence of injuries received by
a fall from a scaffold, in Breck road, where he was at work.
Verdict, " Accidental death." Mr. William Norman, the
employer of deceased, has kindly promised to do something
for the poor wife and children, and also to see Keating's
remains decently interred at his expense.
CoLLarox IN THE RIVER.—On Saturday night, as the
Rose steamer was going out on her voyage to Sligo, when
off the Rock-light, she came into contact with the ship
Wolfscore, from Quebec, which was being tugged into port.
The crash was a serious one, and the steamer suffered con-
siderable damage. She lost one of her paddle boxes, the:
shaft being broken off, and her bulwarks were scattered or,
carried away, and a large hole was made in her bow. She
was quite disabled, and was towed into the Clarence-basin
by the Constitution, aad remains there at present. The
other vessel had her bowsprit and catheads carried away.
She was towed up the river yesterday evening. The captain
of the steamer, as we have heard, had one of his arms severely
hurt, but this was the only accident, fortunately, that
happened in the collision.
MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—About half-past
six en Saturday night, the 25th instant, a young man,
named Richard Coxhead, son of Mrs. Coxhead, of L)diate,
farmer, aged 22 years, was killed on the turnpike-road, in
the township of Walton. Deceased was ridieg in Thomas
Haskayne's cart on the Liverpool and Preston turnpike-
road on his return home, the cart of which he was the driver
followed in the rear, himself having hold of his check rein,
and just before he got to the Sefton Arms Hotel, his horse
made a sudden spring on one side, and dragged him off the
cart upon the road, the off wheel of his own cart passing
over his head and injuring him so much that he died in
about twenty minutes after the accident, and before Dr.
Woods could be got to him: Deceased was removed to the
Sefton Arms Hotel to await an inquest which will be held
this day.
CHARGE AGAINST A WOMAN FOR SETTING FIRE TO A
HOUSE —This day Susan Doyle, an old woman, was
brought up on a remaneed charge of having set fire to a
house in Elden-street. The facts were these :—The house
belongs to a lady who resides in Everton, and the prisoner
having rented a portion of it for some time past, got into
arrears for rent. She was put out of the premises, and
shortly after leaving, in the evening, she was seen to get
into the cellar. She remained there for some time,
and was then observed to leave with a burning
stick in her hand, and soon afterwards the place
was found to be in a blaze. The alarm was given and the
fire was got under, and subsequently the prisoner was
arrested. The evidence was not considered sufficient,
although Mr. Qroathwaite (the presiding magistrate) said
he had no moral doubt of the prisoner's guilt, but heymust
discharge her. She was set at liberty.
ABSCONDING OF AN IRISH RAILWAY OFFICIAL.—Man, it
is said, is an imitative animal, but, unfortunately, his pre-
delictions in that way are prone to evil. Snakspeare has
something to the effect, that the bad deeds committed in life,
remain after the actor, whilst the good ones are sure to be
covered up in the coffin. Whether the conduct of the
Crystal Palace " magnifo," or the example of the French
railway forgers, or the renown of becoming a second
Sadleir, influenced the actions of a certain Irish railway
offieial, we know not. The only thing we are certain about
is this—that a person connected with one of the lines of the
" Sister Kingdom," has been found absent, and that his
absence has led to some awkward disclosures. We have,
heard, however, that the affair is more local than general
as regards money matters. The missing person has been
sought by a Dublin Forrester, in Liverpool, but, up to
Saturday evening, the keen scent of the detective failed to
come on the right trail. No calculating, however, what
may he dots in twenty-four hours.
LIVERPOOL PRESS ASSOCIATION.—The annual dinner of
this body took place on Saturday evening, at Anderson's
Hotel, Castle street. Twenty gentlemen (there were several
members absent in consequence of business) sat down to an
excellent and varied repast, which was served in the best
style of the establishment. Mr. A. C. Baker, the chair-
man of the association, presided, and Mr. S. J. Meaney, the
vice-chairman, took the opposite chair. The usual- loyal
toasts were given, after which success to the association was
proposed and duly honoured. The healtbs of the officers
attes p
apr
al pleasing
nagt
and committee of the body were given, and responded to
amid applause. The society, it appears, is in a healthy
condition, and increasing in numbers. The evening was
spent in the most agreeable manner, and several excellent
songs were given, and altogether the re-pinion str
and appreciated by all present. The company
half. past ten o'clock, according to their rule, having spent a
truly agreeable and intellectual evening.

MONETARY AND COMMEN

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY E‘ ENING

Cotton still continues in strong demand, both
speculators and spinners operating for a further
rise. To-day the sales reached 10,000 bales, and
of this quantity no less than 4.000 were taken for
speculation and export. Further advices from the
United States, respecting the growing crop, per
the steam-ship Africa, are anxiously awaited ; and,
no doubt, they will have considerable influence
upon the trade next week, which are just now
anticipating a much higher range of prices.
To-day the Liverpool Share Market opened with
steadiness ; the sales were not extensive, but
towards the close of business, if any change
was perceptible, it was for the better.

day :—Aberdeen, 12 121. Chester and Birken-

Monetary affairs, both here and in London, have
undergone no change during the last few days
Stringency in discount accommodation continues,
and no further steps appear to have been taken by
the Bank of England to check the efflux of gold,
those already adopted having, to a great degree,
achieved the desired effect. The late arrivals from
America and Australia have been sufficient to
supply the current demand for export, and if other
vessels should be reported, their specie freights
will, no doubt, be readily secured for
shipment to France and other parts of
the Continent. The late speculation in mone-
tary and commercial circles on the Continent
has already began to subside, hut not without
leaving certain injurious results. From the highest
to the lowest it appears that all the different classes
are involved, and even public functionaries are
known to have exhausted their own means as well
as those of friends which they have raised in con-
nection with the position they enjoy.
On the London Stock Exchange to-day, as
usual at the close of the week, very little
support was given to the public funds, and
taking into account the unfavourable returns
of the Bank of England, it is rather surprising that
prices were remarkably well sustained. The fact
is, however, most parties are confident the next
weekly balance sheet will be more encouraging, as
the demand for money is not quite so active as it
was, and very little bullion has been withdrawn
from the Bank. Consols for Transfer were dull at
92-1 all day. For Account they were 92* -4-4, then 921
at which they officially closed, and subsequently
921 sellers. The New Three per Cents. were 911 to
92-A--, and the Reduced 911 A. Exchequer Bills were
2s to 6s pram; the Bonds. 981 ; and East India
bonds Os prem. India stock, 2261.

Very little business was transacted in the Lon-
don Share Market to-day, and yesterday's quota-
tions were barely sustained. Caledonian, Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire, North Western, South
Western, Midland, and most of the other lines
have ruled heavy Foreign and Colonial have
attracted very little attention, but Rigas were
slightly improved.
The imports of specie this week were by the
Alhambra from the Mediterranean, 3,650/ ; the
Canada from New York, 357,877 dols, or 107,7561;
the Washington from New York, 30,000/ ; the
Orinoco from the West Indies, 1;060,353 dols, or
212,0001; the Colombo from Alexandria, 1,9001;
the Ravensbourne from Antwerp, 31 bags 12 cases
of bullion ; the Telegraph from Antwerp, 3 cases
of bullion ; the Baltic from New York, 500,000 dols,
or 100,0001; the Siene from Boulogne, 2 cases of
silver ; the Baron Osy from Antwerp, 28 cases 1
hag of bullion ; the Madrid from the Mediterranean,
3,3371 ; amounting in all, exclusive of packages, to
454,9931.

The exports of specie during the week were by
the Indus for Alexandria and the East Indies,
502,0911, of which 8,9801 was in gold, and the rest
silver divided was follows :—Gold to Alexandria,
1,8001; Ceylon, 5,300/ ; Madras, 1,8801; silver to
Bombay, 193,9811; Madras, 10,1401; and Calcutta,
288,9901; the Atrato for the West Indies, 1,2001;
the Euxine for the Mediterranean, 16,3001; making
a total of 519,591/.

The Mining Journal of to-day furnishes us with
the following intelligence :
The Mining Market has continued in rather an inactive
state this week, and we have not much to report in-the way
of change in prices, or in the amount of business transacted.
Great South Tolgus shares have been those mostly in
demand, and the price has risen from 12i to 141. Great
Alfreds did not maintain the price at which they left off on
the account day last week; they opened on Monday at 9 to
9t, but at the latter part of the week became firmer, and
closed at 9i to 10; Sortridge have kept at about
3, 36, 31, Copper Hill shares have advanced to 180 ;
this mine is looking well, and a pitch in the 60 west
is reported as worth £9O per fm., and not more
than 25 fms. from East. Basset, shares in which
have been done as high as 48. Alfred Consols opened at 15,
sellers, and remained for some days flat, but a reported im-
provement on Wednesday caused rather a demand, and they
reached 15k, 16. 161, leaving eff at 16 ; West Basset, 31.
North Basset, 36 ex div ; at the meeting, the dividend
declared was £4,800 (165 per share) ; the mine is looking
well, and a better dividend anticipated next time ; the
stones in the back of the 62 are worth £2OO per tm.
North Robert, 25 to 251 • the mine has been inspected
by Captain Richards, of Great Devon Consols, who
estimates the ore in reserve at 2,000 tons • the
cross-cut in the 42, from trial shaft, has seven lathoms
to be driven before reaching the lode which has been so
productive in the south mine. Par Consols, 23 to 23i ;
Great Baddern, 14 to IP.-, ; Wheal Wrey shares have de-
clined to 7.3-, sellers ; Trewetha, 31 to 31; Herodsfont, 21
to 3 ; Wheal Margery, 35 ; Mary Ann, 38 to 38,-,!; ; Ding
Dong, 32t to 35; North Trelawny, 1, to ; Lady 13,..rtha,
21s to 1,l ; Grenville, AI; Carnyorth, 41 to 5 ; Botallack,
150 to 170, Wheal Edward shares have not maintained their
price, but leave off sellers at 24 to 21; United Mines, 140 ;
South Frances, 350 to 360 ; Trelawny, 25 to 271 ; Ludcott,
la te-Tr; Rosewarne; 65 to 70. -

We have no change to report in the state of trade
in any of the manufacturing districts. Manches-
ter advices of to-day inform us that the market
there sympathises with that of raw cotton only to
a limited extent, so that producers find it extremely
difficult to force up prices. Even where they are
successful, the still greater rise in the value of
cotton leaves them in a worse position than they
occupied before, and with more disheartening
prospects to look forward to. In yarns there
is rather more disposition to do business, and
buyers exhibit more confidence, and would operate
willingly and largely at the full prices of last week.
In cloth the demand is rather better, and at last
week's prices buyers are willing to operate, and a
fractional advance they are ready occasionally to
pay; but manufacturers are compelled, by the rise
in cotton, to insist on a real advance, which has
tended greatly to restrict operations. From Leicester,
we learn that there is. no material change in the
trade of that district, the various branches
continuing much the same as last reported. Wools
and yarns are said to remain firm. The lace trade
at Nottingham is quiet, the home demand being
limited. There is no doubt a large amount of
business of various kinds doing, but we cannot but
keep in mind that it requires an immense demand
to keep all parties engaged who are now connected
with this business. We understand that there is
less enquiry for some qualities of plain nets,
though the coarse are as much in requisition
as ever, and that there is more doing
in certain classe of fancy nets, which
have, until the last few weeks, been but very
little in demand. There is also a large business
