THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.

have to decide as to the facts, adjudicates .. (B) in cases
of high treason against the Confederation, of rebellion, or
riotous resistance to the Federal authorities ; (C) in cases of
crimes or offences against international law : (D) in cases of
political crimes or offences which are either the cause or
the consequence of disturbances which have given rise to
an armed intervention of the Federal Power. It is corn
petent to the Federal Assembly with reference to crimes
and offences of the foregoing nature to issue amnesty or
pardon.
The text of this latter sentence leaves it indis-
tinct, whether it is competent even to the Federal
Assembly to pronounce an amnesty or pardon
previous to trial ; the Assembly is now convoked,
and with it rests the last decision as to whether it
has that power, and, if so, will use it; the informa-
tion that has reached me from well-informed
quarters in Berne represents it as improbable that
the Federal Assembly will avail itself of its com-
petency if it possesses it, and then adopt a con-
ciliatory course. Should matters turn out as feared,
the Prussian troops will proceed to occupy the
Swiss territory contiguous to Baden, probably the
whole of the country between Basle on the west
Schaffhausen or Constance on the east: from this
line, as a base up to Zurich, the whole country is
flat and open, and presents no difficulties to its easy
occupation.
The 'Change here has been for some time past the
favourite arena for every species of warlike rumour,
to the loss of the many and the gain of the few;
the Government has been represented as making
large purchases of grain for the purpose of driving
up the prices of corn; and the Government has
been represented as about to issue a new loan for
40,000,000 thalers, for the purpose of producing a
baisse. It is, however, true that in the Ministry of
War everything is ready to put the troops in motion
at a few minutes' notice ; the march routes are
made out, the halting stations fixed, the sup-
plies at hand, and nothing is wanting but
the Royal order. The entire force that will
be set in motion will amount to four corps
d'armee, about 120,000 men ; in consequence of the
receat return to the old military arrangement of
the privates serving their full three years, instead
of 1 year, as it had practically' become of late,
the regiments are now at their full peace strength,
and should the reserves be called out they will be
at their full war strength. It is not easy to ascer-
tain which troops will be employed : one naturally
assumes that the 7th and Bth, the two corps d'armee
of the Rhenish provinces and Westphalia, with their
landwehr, making up the whole force to the strength
of four corps d'armee, will be set in motion, and
their places in their usual station be supplied by
other troops drawn from the central provinces, and
they again be replaced partially by troops from the
eastern provinces. This, I believe, will be the
course adopted, as admitting of the greatest
expedition and facility of movement. I am, how-
ever, told that the Rhenish and Westphalian corps
d'armee will be left at their present stations, and the
troops employed for the occupation be selected
from the rest of the army ; the consideration that
would recommend this latter plan is that the hard-
ships or the glory would thus be more equally
distributed over the whole army, and the whole
amount of injury and impoverishment attendant
on the calling out of the reserves and the landwehr
would not fall on the Rhenish provinces and
Westphalia alone. For the command of these
troops it does not appear as if the General were yet
designated. General von Bonin, late Minister of
War, and now Governor of Mayence, is confidently
spoken of as selected for the service ; on the other
hand General Count von der Groeben the Com-
mander of the Guard, is looked on as likely to
have an opportunity of seeking those laurels in
Switzerland which he failed to reap in Electoral
Hesse in 1850. In the case of the former being
appointed we shall see the popular spirit and
sympathies taking the lead in the affair with a
prospect of energetic and skilful strategy. In the
case of the latter we shall recognise the King's
influence as preponderant, and look forward to a
feeble and inglorious conduct of the military
operations.
A letter in the Nord of Brussels says it is gene-
rally thought in diplomatic circles here that
Switzerland will return to calmer and more
reasonable feelings. I can affirm to you as po3itive
that Prussia has already obtained the authorisation
of Wurtemburg and of Baden for her troops to
pass through those states, in order to take military
possession of Schauffhausen. It is not necessary
to have that authorisation further confirmed by
the Diet—in the first place, because Prussia acts
in her own personal name ; and next, because she
has already received the approbation of that body.
Switzerland will consequently act very imprudently
if she allows herself to slumber in a false security.
The King of Prussia cannot abandon the prisoners
of Neufchatel at the very moment when Switzer-
land persists in bringing them to trial, and when
the French Government has openly declared in
his favour. It is objected that the Germanic Con-
federation, fearing to s?e its trade with Switzerland
I fall off, will use all its efforts to paralyse the move-
ments of Prussia. It is incontestable that diplo•
macy has not yet completed its work, and it is still
hoped that it may succeed in effecting an amicable
arrangement, if Switzerland consents to conces-
sions ; but it is easy to comprehend that, if she
persists in her refusal, the conduct of Prussia is too
clearly marked out for her now to draw back."

ITALY.

A letter from Florence, of the 15th, describes
the entrance that day of the Grand Hereditary
Prince of Tuscany and his wife, the Princess
Anna Maria of Saxony, in the midst of salvos of
artillery and ringing of bells. A detachment of
mounted gendarmerie opened the procession,
then came five carriages, each drawn by six horses.
The reigning Grand Duke and Duchess occupied
the the third carriage, together with the yonng
married couple, escorted by the body guard. The
cortege „was extremely brilliant, and was received
with enthusirstic acclamations. Florence was
illuminated at night, and among the transparen-
cies were some combining the arms of Tuscany
and Saxony. Bonfires were lighted on the
neighbouring hills. The Grand Duke, the young
married couple, and the Archduke Charles drove
through the streets an an open carriage.

•
SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 17th publishes the
following decree, re-establishing the octroi duties
in all the towns throughout the country :
Article 1. In place of the general tax imposed by the
law on the budget of the 16th of April last, are reesta-
blished from the Ist of January, 1857, in all the towns
throughout the kingdom and the islands adjacent, the
duties on articles of consumption (consumos) and octroi,
uniting them in a single contribution, which is to be
denominated consumos, payable on the articles
specified in the tariff annexed. Article 2. Are and
shall continue to be free from duty wine and oil
used in the fabrication of brandy and soap.
Similar articles from the Colonies or foreign parts
shall pay the same duties as national produce, conformably
to the third article of the law of the 17th of July,
1849, with the exception of those liable to the special duties
mentioned in the tariff. Art. 3. No corporation establish-
ment, enterprise, or individual, of whatever class or condi-
tion, can be exempted from this contribution. Art. 4.
Equivalent charges may be imposed to the amount specified
for each articie in the first and second tariffs for the pur-
pose of covering the provincial and municipal obligations.
Art. 6. No charge shall be levied greater than that
authorised by the present decree, except it has been first
examined by the royal council in accord with the council of
ministers. No other article can be taxed to meet
the provincial expenditure than those comprised
in the preseat contribution. Art. 6. The contri-
bution on articles of consumption shall be levied on
their entrance into towns, and at a distance of 2,000
Castilian veres, reckoning from the walls to the last
inhabited house by the shortest road. Art. 7. The duty on
butcher's meat shall be payable by head or by weight, at
the choice of the payer. Art. 8. Towns, rot the capital of
a province, nor inhabited ports, may conclude a treaty with
the Minister of Finance equivalent to the duties for con-
sumption, but the term of the treaty cannot be less than
one year or more than three. Art. 9. The inhabitants are
collectively responsible for the payment of the suns men-
tioned in the treaties concluded between the municipalities
and the government.

THE TWO SICILIES.

The Official Journal of Palermo at last announces

the arrest of Baron de Bentivenga, the chief of the
late movement, as well as the submission of a great

number of Abe insurgents, and the dispersion of
the others. A letter from that city says :—Numer-
ous bands of prisoners are arriving here every
day. The judicial authorities are actively engaged
in examining into the affair. There is no doubt
that the leaders in the insurrection will be con-
demned to death. It is, however, stated that
orders have been sent from Naples prohibiting any
execution, the royal clemency reserving to itself
beforehand every latitude for deciding the fate of
the guilty. The English frigate Dauntless anchored
in Palermo Roads on the 7th. The whole island is
perfectly tranquil.
A letter from Naples of the 16th states that the
wound of the King is nearly healed. On the day
after receiving it his Majesty had a slight fever, and
for a few days kept his bed. A deputation from
Palermo had arrived at Naples to congratulate his
Majesty on his escape, and another was expected
from Messina.

THE AUSTRIAN OCCUPATION OF THE
PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 10th, in the
Bourse Gazette of Berlin, says " Count V. Ester-
hazy, the Austrian ambassador, has just had an
interview with Prince Gortsebakoff, in which some
conversation took place on the subject of the reply
of the Cabinet of Vienna to the Russian memoran-
dum. The Prince remarked that the pretension of
Austria to occupy the Principalities until the
question of the frontiers should be settled,
was inadmissible for two motives—first, from the
declaration of Count Buol at Paris, that the evacu-
ation of the Turkish territory by Austria pre-
sented less difficulty than that by France and
England, and that it should take place before ; and
secondly, because the projected instructions drawn
up at Paris for the members of the commission, for
the organisation of the Principalities, declared
expressly that the Divans could not meet until the
foreign troops should have evacuated the Princi-
palities. Tue Austrian ambassador confined him-
self to replying that Russia could not invoke the
Treaty of Paris so long as she occupied any point
of the Bessarabian territory, which she was bound
to cede to Turkey. This conference was conse-
quently without result ; and it is probable that the
Russian cabinet will reply in writing to that of
Vienna, which may perhaps cause a new delay in
the meeting of the Conference of Paris"

CHRISTAINS.

THE MARKETS-SPORTS AND PASTIMES,

Our notice of the Christmas markets was necessarily
confined on Saturday. Saturday, in point of fact, was
the Christmas market day, and the different emporiums
through town where all the fruits of the earth, tenants of
the air, and cattle of the field were provided .for the sup-
port or mankind, were decked out and garnished to the
best advantage ; and those who could not, and those
who would not purchase, had ample opportunities of
feasting their optics and admiring the specimens of beef,
mutton, and all the other etcetras provided for those who
did purchase. Many, however, refrained from laying in
the stock necessary for their festivities until to day, or
to-morrow. Yet, on the whole, we believe the markets
were well attended on Saturday, and a great deal of
business transacted. The prices of beef and mutton,
in fact of all sorts of eatables, are considered very high.
The following may interest our reathrs, and may be taken
as a sample of the different markets :—Turkeys, prime,
will sell from 5s to 15s each ; geese, from 3s to lOs each ;
plovers, 8d each ; and hares from 2s to 3s 6d each ; fowls,
from 3s to 5s 6d a pair; ducks, from 4s to 5s ; black game,
5s 6d to 7s ; pheasants, 6s to 8s ; wild ducks, 3s ;
partridges, 2s to 3s 6d ; and grouse, 5s 61. Grapes are
10d per Ib, pines Bs, asparagus (very rare) lOs a bundle;
seakail, 5s per basket. During Friday and Saturday,
there were immense arrivals of geese and other poultry
from Ireland or from other parts of the kingdom. We
may state, as a curiosity of the trade, that one wholesale
dealer (Air. Quinn, of John's Market,) has an order from
retailers for the supply of two tons of Irish geese .
Three dealers alone, Mr. Thomas Carroll., Mr. James
Quinn, and Mr. Jahn Carney, expected jointly to receive
into their hands not less than 10,000 geese.
IN JAMES' MARKET

There is an extensive exhibition of the best stock of
meat, beef, mutton, pork, lamb, veal, &c., and a great
variety of game of all sorts. Many of the shopkeepers,
however, did not decorate as usual, waiting to this day
and to-morrow, as coming near the day of the festival,
to ornament their stalls. The market, however, looked
well on Saturday, and there was a good share of business
done. In the other markets there is not much to notice,
beyond the fact that in all there is a goodly display of
meat with the usual decorations. In many of the
streets there are butchers' and provision shops that attract
the passengers' attention, the most remarkable being in
London Road, Islington, Commutation Row, Dale
street, Great George's Place, and Great Homer street,
in all of which there is a fine exhibition of the substan-
tials of life.

BIRKENHEAD

Birkenhead has made more than usually extensive
preparations this year, to give Christmas a very hea ty
welcome. With peace, of course, there comes increased
employment, and there is evidently more money to be
spent by the working classes than there was two years
ago. The streets presented everywhere a very animated
appearance. The shopkeepers have used their utmost
exertions to render their wares attractive, and, judging
from appearances, the grocers and provision dealers
especially must have turned over a very large sum.

tinues to attract, and as for Mr. Lowthian, there can be
nothing more than he has done in the way of perfection.
Indeed, in this respect, we should not have named him
again, as it would be unnecessary, seeing he was so per-
fect and excellent in his line, but for the following
facts, which may interest the public : Mr. Lowthian
has dressed a "Loyal Baron of Beef," of the finest
quality ever seen in the market, for Mr. Morrish's Mer-
chants' Dining Rooms, Lancaster Buildings, Tithe.barn
street, and what think you, reader, the weight of this
" monarch " is ? Nothing less than 560 lbs,, or five
hundred weight, of eight atones each ! This will be
dressed by Mr. Morrish in his usual style of excellence,
and, no doubt, will be more admired (as it is so much
superior in all respects) than that of last season. A
greater &eat even than this baron of beef will be pro-
vided by Mr. Morrish, in the wonderful Cape sheep
exhibited by Mr. Lowthian, and mentioned in our paper
of Saturday, and for which Mr. L. challenged the world
to produce anything like it. This will be also " done
up," or ‘‘ brown," if liked better,. at Mr. Morrish's.
There are several other first class houses which are sup-
plied by Mr. Lowthian, amongst which may be men-
tioned Mr. Dixon's, commercial Hotel, Canning place
(Custom House), who, as usual, has pravided a stock
that cannot fail to aflord his numerous and respectable
patrons a first rate treat and every gratification. The
" George Hotel," Dale street, is another of the first class

homes-supplied from this stall, and the mutton, beef,
lamb, Sco„ laid out for each and all, cannot fail to " do
duty in the proper quarter."
Amongst the curiosities out of the markets, and
nerhaps one of the greatest curiosities in the town, and
the exhibition of which created quite a sensation, was
" the pig," shown by Mr. Brundrit of the London Road.
This monster lump of fat and flesh was_ brought from the
stye and shown alive in his sToii, and attracted a grett
amount of attention, the visitors being so numerous,
that it was with difficulty that the police could keep a
a clear passage. The pig was actually so fat, that it
could not see out of its eyes, and had to be fed by the
hand, not being able to rise to take its food. Over its
head was exhibited a large placard from which it ap-
peared that it was bred by Mr. W. Clare of Waltoabreck,

and fed by Mr. J. Philips of Priory Lane, It was
named '• Impudence," and had, during its existence
won prizes at Birmingham, Liverpool, Radcliffe. Don-
caster, Holm firth, Burnley, Preston, Lancaster, and
St. Helens. Thig monster pig will be slaughtered this
morning, andovill be again shown in the shop, and we
should certainly recommend those who are fond of
seeing to what perfection even a pig may be got, to visit
the shop and see for themselves, It is supposod that
this animal wilt weigh, when killed, upwards of GOO lbs
Among the many well stocked and handsomely decorated
shops on Saturday night was that of Mr. John Williams,
wholesale shipping butcher, 43, Mersey street, near the
Customhouse. It attracted considerable notice, both on
account of the great abundance and superior excellence of
the various carcases shown, as well as for the neatness of
the arrangements of the establishment.
Mr. C. Brabin, 146, Great Hamer street, has on show a
pig weighing no less than 50 score. This enormous
animal was bred by J. P. Heywood, E 1.., of West Derby,
and is considered a very fine specimen of the " Swinish
Multitude!"

Besides the articles alluded to, there are others which
constitute indispensable ingredients at the Christmas board.
For instance, the grocer's shop is only second tri the butcher's.
In this respect, there are some shops belonging to Messrs.
Mullins and Co.—one in Dale street, the other in the
Quen's Arcade, and the most superior of all in Miil street
The mountains of fruit of all carts, and other ingredients
requisite fur plum pudding, cakes, and other " good things"
displayed in this latter house is truly wonderful. In addi-
tion to the requisites here. there is a degree of artistic skill,
exhibited in the shape of mirrors, evergreens, and other
matters, that set off the whole to vast advantage, bat these
adjuncts, although pleasing, arc nothin^, when compared
to the extensive stock of real substantial good articles
which Mr. :Mullins offers at the lowest figures that genuine
articles can be had at. Again, there are two houses,
" though last not least," to which reference must be made.
These are the celebrated Merchants' Dining Rooms of
Mr. Anderson, Slater's-court, Castle-street, and. Mr.
Ross's Eldon Dining Rooms (under Bankruptcy Cone.),
South John-street. In these establishments "Scotch

spirit of independence which originated these swieties,
was, in fact, the foundation of all our institutions. In
process of time, these societies had reached a very sur-
prising magnitude. Some of them numbered many
thousands of members. But even in friendly societies
it had occurred that disputes would arise. For the
settlement of these disputes, the law had provided no
remedv. and the conseoucnce was, that these societies

had from time to time been driven into the Court of
Chancery to settle any disputes which arose amofig their

of burial societies, having been brought recently before
the public, it had occurred to some gentlemen on the
platform to originate a society in this town which might
emitall within itself its own court of appeal. The
subject had been mentioned to several gentlemen in the
town, some of whose names were to be seen in the pla•
cards on the walls. The subject had been well considered
by these gentlemen, who were members of every political
party in Liverpool. He had gone himself advis,,dly to
gentlemen representing every political party, in order to
show that the society was got up for no political purpose
and with no political end ; but that it was simply an
institution originated for the benefit of the working
classes in general ; and he had received assurances of
support from those gentlemen simply because they be-
lieved that it would add materially to the social comfort
of the people. This society would only differ from
other societies in having the guardianship of a
committee of merchants and gentlemen of the town,
so as to avoid all appeals, whether to a magistrate
a County Court, a Court of Chancery, or any other legal
jurisdiction. It was not proposed to interfere in
the management of the society's ordinary bust-
siness by the guardian committee; because, if the
working classes could not continue to organise such
societies, and to manage them for themselves, it would
be quite impossible for any set of gentlemen to keep a
society upon its legs which could not keep itself upon
its legs. (Hear, hear.) The purpose which the
guardian committee would serve, was simply this: It
had been found that the great masses of the members of
the society were working people, who had not, of course,
the means of checking the accounts, and had ❑ot the
means of controlling the affairs to the same extent as
other societies formed among persons of a higher rank.
It was, therefore, simply proposed, that there should be
attached to the society now about to be established, a
committee of gentlemen, sa hose duties should be these :
Before the annual meeting was held, the accounts and
the report intended to be submitted, should be handed
in to the guardian committee, and should undergo their
supervision. If they were satisfied that the accounts
were correct, and that the report was a fair report, then
both should be handed back to the ordinary committee of
the society, and would subsequently go before the members
with the assurance that they bad been checked by the
guardian committee. Another duty which it was pro-
posed should be execised by the guardian committee,
was that of holding some check over the officers and
collectors. It was not proposed that every petty and
trivial complaint should be laid before the guardian
committee, because the promoters supposed that the
ordinary committee would be able to deal with all such

questions themselves. _But if there should occur

was that the guardian committ e would be able to deal
with the question, and supersede the necessity of any
application to the courts of law. It was proposed that
the ordinary committee should consist of thirteen
members, and that the guardian committee should
entertain no application unless it were made byfive at
least of the committee, or if the committee should refuse
to take the matter in hand, then the guardian committee
might consider it upon the application of twenty-five
members. In considering' these quesams, however, the
guardian committee would not interfere wiCu the ordin-
ary independent action of the society's committee.
He had, in point of fact, ventured to put it
to every gentleman, who, as a member of the
dock committee, the council, or utile 004t.r public board,
urged that he had too many other duties to discharge, that

priety and expediency of the society's constitution. It
was his duty simply to stile the object of the meetimr,
and leave those present to discuss whether the proposals
would be expedient or otherwise. One only point on
which he might remark on closing his observations, was
that the promoters of the society disclaimed any rivalry
with any other institution, and wished to maintain the
society on its own merits. There were several other
such societies in the town, but lie apprehended it was
perfectly well known that a very wide field still remained
open for the introduction or a new one. Without
the subscribers of other societies, a very wide field re-
mained for this, and hefelt confident that the promoters
of this society would be able to find untilled soil. (Hear,

They therefore disclaimed any rivalry to other
societies, or any allusion whatever to the manner in
which they conducted their business. Whether other so-
cieties conducted their business ill or well, was nothing to
the promoters of this society. They believed that -a
society could be founded which would be able by a new
set of rules, and by the addition of a guardian committee,
to do the business better than it was done at present,
and that was the matter which they had in hand. The
chairman then resumed his seat amid loud applause.
Mr George Smith was called upon to propose the first
resolution. lie expressed his entire concurrence in the
declaration of the chairman, that the society was origi-
nated in no spirit of rivalry•, and added, that if it were
he should have taken no part in the proceedings. It was
not necessary to dwell much upon the general utility of
burial socieles. Few who paid any attention to their
effect among the working classes, could not but admit the
powerful tendency they possessed to create a spirit of self-
respect and self reliance. (Cheers) It was well known
that they had been the means, in that town, of saving to
the parish funds many hundreds of pounds. People
were not perhaps generally aware that the investments
in the friendly societies of Great Britain exceeded five
millions. There were some friendly societies in the
country whose annual revenue exceeded those of
some corporate bodies. Between the year 1795 and
1332, there were in round numbers about 90,000
friendly societies enrolled in this country, and at
the end of that period, not more than 5000
of these institutions were still in existence
That was a clear proof that in the constitution of these
societies, or i❑ their management, or in the law aff sting
them, there wa3 something defective (hear, hear) ; and, to
meet that defect, the committee nuw contemplated the
formation of a society which would give perfect security to
the working classes, by the joint institution of a guardian
committee. (hear, hear.) Without dwelling further on
the advantages of burial societies, he would take the Eberly
of drawing their attention to the social condition of the
country generally, because, according to the opinions of the
most eminent statesmen of the age, England's greatest
difficulty was her social condition. What matter that they
