THE DAY'S NEWS.

Although the Town Council had a protracted
meeting on Monday, and were engaged in a keen
and animated debate on that all important topic—
the Rivington Pike Scheme, such was the state
of the monthly "business paper," that it was
necessary to hold another adjourned meeting yes.
terday, for the purpose of finishing off the work
left undone at the usual monthly meeting on Wed-
nesday. At that, and the subsequent meeting,
there were two important discussions—the first
relating to the Superintendence of the Police,
and the latter to the Pike Water Scheme.
We have commented on both these matters, and
on each, our readers will again find articles in this
day's impression, another evidence, that we at
least will not sit and look quietly on, whilst the
community amongst whom we live are subjected
to police grievances of a serious magnitude, and the
threatened deprivation of one of life's greatest
essentials, pure and unadulterated spring water.
As far as we are concerned, our opposition to " the
powers that be" on both questions, is sincere,
honest, and determined. The business transacted
fit yesterday's meeting was rather of a routine
pharacter than otherwise. Some of the matters
involved in the reports of the respective com-
mittees, called up brief but friendly discussion. We
are glad to see that the question of mooring vessels
in the Mersey was taken into consideration, and on
the motion of Mr Alderman Bold, a by-law for the
purpose of preventing collisions in the river by
vessels taking up an improper anchorage.
The West Derby Guardians hel t their usual
weekly meeting yesterday. There was nothing on
the business paper to induce a large attendance,
so hat the proceedings were totally devoid of
interest. From what transpired it would appear
that the medical officers were in the habit of send-
ing parties to the workhouse hospital in order to
alnidge their labours among such persons. The
-"er wee referred for further consideration.
to our Police Court proceedings will
A reference
show that a singular' case, which our reporter has
not inaptly termed " Comnis?ecial Chesterfieldism,"
was heard before Messrs. Aikin and Bolton. The
parties concerned were, Mr. Alfred Firth and Mr.
Robert Morrison, the former preferring a charge
of assault and indignity against the latter. The
particuiars of the affair will be found at full length
in another column. Both the parties seem to have
entertained very bitter feelings against each other,
and we greatly regret that they could not have
accepted the suggestion of the bench, and arranged
petty difference out of court.
The trial of the gold dust robbers still continues.
The cross-examination of Agar, the convict, as far
as we can see, is not likely to do much damage to
the accused. The case is likely to occupy another
day or two.
We give, in this day's paper, full particulars of
the disaster which befel the Brazil ;mail steamer
Tyne, when coming up to Southampton on Tuesday,
We regret to say that one man has lost his life by
the accident.
Our Continental news is varied and interesting.
We have important intelligence from Persia.
The British squadron in the Persian Gulf, was
hurrying on operations to avoid being exposed to
the heat, whichlwill set in in spring, and perhaps to
have its work—the intimidation of the Shah—com
pleted before the squadron in the Black Sea is
obliged to retire. In the meantime Russian troops
are said to have arrived on some islands of the
Caspian belonging to Persia, in the character of
auxiliaries, while the Russian Ambassador at
Teheran had left for St. Petersburg, it was believed
to demand assistance for the Shah. These two
statements do not well accord, for if the assistance
Oe already granted, there is no occasion to demand
it. It will therefore be advisable to reserve judg-
ment until the receipt of more accurate information.
News from Constantinople to the sth, announces
that Admiral Lyons's fleet has been ordered
to leave the Turkish waters, but only after the
Austrians shall have evacuated the Principalities.
A. Frankfort letter says that speculators on the
Bourse there regard the negotiations with the
Federal Council of Berne as certain to lead to a
speedy and honourable peace, and most of the
railway and other shares have, in consequence,
improved in price. It is also said that Austria,
being tranquilised by communications transmitted
to Vienna by Baron de Manteuffel, in the name of
King Frederick William, will desist from her
resolution to bring before the Diet the question of
the eventual passage of Prussian troops through
some of the States of the Confederation. The
salutary effects of the pacific change in the feelings
of Prussia are already sensibly felt here and in the
countries around us. All articles of food which
had risen in price in anticipation of war have
during the last two days considerably declined.
With respect to the Danish Sound Dues we find
that some of the amounts which are to be paid by
the various maritime powers to Denmark in com-
pensation for the removal of the Sound Dues are
stated in a Copenhagen letter to be as follows :
E igland and Russia. 34 million francs each ;
P• oeeia, 12 millions ; Sweden, 7 millions ; France.
4millions; Belgium, 1,200,000 fr. A million francs
are equal to £40,000
From Berlin we have the following intelligence:
The Russians have evacuated the Isle of Serpents.
The Archduke Constantine has arrived here. It
is rumoured that he will visit Paris, and that
he is going to Nice,after his short stay at Hanover.
Colonel Manteuffel has returned from Vienna.
The Government has communicated to the Cham-
bers that the revenue is in a flourishing condition,

but that additional taxation is necessary to meet
extraordinary charges. There will be an additional
duty on salt, and on many branches of industry,
railways excepted. The house tax is to be aug-
mented.

Telegraphic •despatches dated Berne, Jan. 13,
say that the Message to the Federal Assembly
from the Federal Council proposes the discon-
tinuance, or suspension, of the" proceedings against
the prisoners until the final arrangement of the
negociations in progress. The conditions of these
will be submitted to the Federal Assembly.
Military levies will be temporarily suspended.
The Russian and Austrian ambassadors have
communicated a note, identical in contents with
the proposals of France and England.
We have news from Bucharest to the 12th inst.
informing us of the settlement of the frontier (lift.
culty. The approaching retreat of the Austrian
teoops from the Principalities caused the most
unbounded joy. The police have interfered to
prevent the illuminations
