THE DAY'S NEWS.

This day's NORTHERN TIMES contains a variety
of local, domestic, foreign, and commercial news.
With regard to the former, it will be perceived
that Mr. Gibbs has accepted the challenge made
by the Garston Board of Health. He has sent
them his plans, and allows them to be scrutinised
without any conditions. It will be interesting to
know how the Board will decide on a question
of such magnitude and importance. Be this as it
may, we cannot but admire the disinterested
perseverance with which he has, amid every
discouragement,' continued to impress upon the
board what he considers the only really efficient
plan of draining the township. Sincerely do we
hope that no private influence will step in to mar
a calm and important examination of the plans of
Mr. Gibbs, and if they are capable of effecting all the
good which he avers, that the Board will come
forward and manfully declare the fact.
Among the proceedings of yesterday's Police
Court, we observe that a case of some magnitude
to publicans was heard. The case arose out of a
publican, named Clark, and residing in Sun-
street, selling what purported to be two pints of
ale, but which were measured out in earthenware
mugs. The mugs, when tested, were found
deficient in measure to the extent of half a gill.
The fact of deficiency of measure having been
proved, the solicitor of the Licensed Victuallers'
Association, who conducted the defence, urged the
plea that there was no intention to defraud, which
the presiding magistrate acquiesced in. The
Inspector of Police, who prosecuted the case,
seemed to think that the public had a great interest
in the fact of obtaining full measure. No doubt
the worthy inspector would not complain if he got
a gill and a-half for a gill, but the law pronounces
over-measure equally guilty with the deficiency,
and' we should like to see bim as eagle eyed in the
one case as the other. But we suspect that we
shall have a long time to wait for such a foolish
exhibition. He should have known that earthen
mugs are generally used when a " pint of ale" is
called, and that they who thus conform to " usage"
are as honest in purpose and intention as the
police officer who thus tried to make a case for
promotion by a vigilance of a somewhat question-
able character.

In our impression of to-day will be found an
interesting and important leading article on the
present aspect of monetary matters in France.
The article in question propounds correct views
of the " currency question," which it would be
well for all those who hold opposite views to
" mark, learn, and inwardly digest."
Two arrivals from the " Far West" were an-
nounced here yesterday—the steamer Atlantic
from New York, and the Canadian from Quebec.
Neither vessel brings the least news of moment.
In the United States the Presidential Election was
the chief item of interest, and from every indica-
tion, it was considered certain that Col. Fremont
would be the successful candidate for the Chief
Magistracy.
A despatch from Washington states that recent
orders have emanated from the Navy Department
to the commander of the Pacific forces, with refer-
ence to the protection of American citizens on
the Isthmus of Panama.

Further details of the Atlantic and Canadian's
news will be found in another column.

Respecting the Neapolitan question we have
little fresh intelligence The councils lately pre-
sided over by King Ferdinand at Naples, and the
reported advent of an administration headed by
General Filangieri, can in no way influence the
settlement of the question, for the solution of the
latter depends no longer on the will of the Bourbon
Monarch or of his ministers. It has drifted
away from Gaeta into the hands of a subtle
and an unscrupulous diplomacy—into the hands
of Russia, eager to wash out in successful
" chicane " the humiliations consummated by
the treaty of Paris ; of Prussia, who longs
to dare in diplomatic negociations what she dared
not perform under arms; and of unhappy Austria,
I whose geographical position, no less than her long
cultivated policy, drives to a course of temporisation
and double dealing, which transforms the simplest
questions into European difficulties. Who can
entertain a doubt that the friendly representations
addressed to the King of Naples by the Western
Powers would not long since have been responded
to in a satisfactory, if not in a willing manner, had
not a secret influence inspired that ruler with ideas
of temporisation or of resistance ? And as matters
now stand, this influence can be dissipated alone
by a display of energy, and of genuine
energy, on the part of England and France.
That the Neapolitan monarch would then yield,
and would even be recommended to do so by his
present occult advisers, none can doubt, and the
sooner that result is obtained the more beneficial
will it be for the interests of all Europe. The
articles published by the semi-official Austrain
journals on this vexatious question, must satisfy
the most candid mind with respect to the real
sentiments which animate the Cabinet of Vienna
in the matter.

The latest news from Vienna contains the
following :—The only news to be communicated
is the following from Rustchuck. On the 22nd of
September the Turkish troops which had been
withdrawn from Wallachia received telegraphic
orders from the Seraskierate to return to that
principality, and to go into winter quarters there.
The troops are to be supplied with provisions from
Rustehuk. The Turkish authoriAes have at last
discovered and arrested the men, who, some months
ago, robbed and murdered some English officers,
in the neighbourhood of Varna. The malefactors
are on their way to Rustchuk, where they are to be
tried.

Another fiat of Bankruptcy has been pronounced
against the Royal British Bank.
The West India Royal Mail steamer Tay, pre-
viously reported as lost, has been safely anchored
in Tampico Bay.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY VENING.
Business affairs are generally in a more easy and
satisfactory position than in the early part of the
week. The demand for Cotton is strong, and
sellers have the advantage in price. The steam-
ship Atlantic arrived here this morning, with
advices from New York to the 27th ultimo, report-
ing that letters had been received from Mississippi,
Alabama, and Tenessee, stating that Cotton will
not yield more than half a crop in some sections of
those states. This, as a matter of course, had the
effect of giving the New York market greater firm-
ness, with rather an advancing tendency. The
New York Commercial Shipping List gives the
following report of the market there, from the
sailing of the Arabia to the departure of
the Atlantic. With a nearly exhausted stock
holders are enabled, for the most part, to dic-
tate terms, and with telegraphic advices of a frost
in the growing regions an advance of ic. has been
established since last Tuesday, in the face of
adverse accounts from Europe. From the most
authentic reports to hand, the frost seems to have
extended over a large area of the producing coun-
try, but being of what is termed the " white" spe-
cies, it did little or no 'damage. The decline in the
Liverpool market was unexpected here, but our
market is in such a position as to be altogether
beyond the influence of unfavourable foreign
accounts. The sales for the three days are esti-
mated at about 7),000 bales. The remarks in our
last, under this head, "61,500 of which were
Orinoco," belonged to the article headed Hides,
and should have read, " Stock on hand same time
last yer, 105,305-01,500 of which were Orinoco.'

The result of these advices may be gathered
from the fact that, at our market here to day, no
less than 15,000 bales changed hands, of which
speculators and exporters took 7,000. The
market closed strong, prices being in favour of the 1
sellers.

In the Liverpool Share Market, to-day, there
was a much better feeling, and a pretty extensive
business was transacted, the market closing with
firmness. The closing prices were thus reported :

We have still to report, both here and in London,
an active demand for Money, and where discount
accommodation is granted extreme rates of interest
must be paid. It may not be out of place for us
to m3ntion, that amongst the investers in the
Funds at the reduced prices lately quoted, as
appears from the names passed at the pending
settlements, are some of the Assurance Companies.
On the other hand, deliveries of the stock have
been made by the Bank of England, with a view to
withdraw notes from circulation ; subsequently,
the Bank Broker has been a buyer of Consols for
the Account to some extent. According to our
latest Paris advices there is but little appearance
of an improvement The Continental Stock
Markets are all feverish. We take the fol-
lowing from the Globe of last night :
" The prospects of the Money Market cannot be
said to have improved, and there is still an impres.
sion that the Bank Directors may yet have to
increase the rate of discount. The question was
again under deliberation this morning, but no
alteration was announced. This was generally
anticipated, but the sitting was longer than usual,
arid the present situation of affairs, both here and
in Paris, was, no doubt, taken into serious con'
sideration. The late advises from Hamburg,
Berlin, and Frankfort being more encouraging, it
may have a salutary effect both in London and
Paris ; gbut the state of financial affairs in
the latter city precludes the hope that the
worst is past. It remains to be seen what
course may be adopted by the Bank of France
to extricate it from its present awkward position,
before any actual opinion can be entertained of the
progress of the future ; but that some remedial
effort will be attempted there is not the slightest
doubt. In the Discount Market full terms for
accommodation arc enforced, and whenever a
pressure is experienced the brokers will be sure to
make the most of the occasion. The late favour-
able turn in the Foreign Exchanges may be con-
sidered indicative of the influence exercised by the
measures of the Bank Directors on Monday last,
but there still requires a much more extensive
reaction to bring about a general restoration to

prosperity."
The Funds have been firmer this morning, bqt
the market still appears in an uncertain state.
The settlement of the Account has not been
effected without some embarrassment, one party
having failed, with rather heavy liabilities. Money
on the Stock Exchange is rather easy, bug; out of
doors there is still an active demand. The con-
tinned abstraction of gold from the Bank et
England excites more uneasiness. Consols have
been 91i 91-,1 for Money, and 91-,3- 91-4 for Account.
Towards the afternoon the Funds remained quiet
and steady. Consols were 9IZ 91'2- for Money, and
91,-7,- 92 for the 9th November. Exchequer Bills

there is no danger of a collapse, except as a
consequence of the blind apprehensions of
the people ; but it is believed that the mea-
sures adopted are calculated to increase rather
than to allay these apprehensions. It is said,
moreover, that some of the leading persons
connected with the Bank of France, have already
expressed an opinion as to the expediency of

FRANCE .

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
A telegraph despatch from Ajaccio, in the Isle
of Corsica, dated yesterday, announces that the
English ships of the line, Conguerant and Wel-
ling,ton, the latter carrying the flag of Admiral
Dundas, had arrived in that port, and that three
smaller vessels were expected. A Marseilles
despatch says that, on the contrary, the French
fleet remained quiet at Toulon. There is
nothing new to-day about the Neapolitan
question, with the exception that the go-
vernment, if I am correctly informed, has
received despatches which cause it to be believed
that, in spite of all that has been done, not the
slightest concession from the King is to be hoped
for.

The Emperor passed a grand review of the
Guards to-day in the Champ de Mars. The weather
was very fine, and the troops, consisting of 22
battalions, 12 squadrons, and 4 batteries, in
all about 22,000 men, presented a really
magnificent appearance ; and as the Guardo
wear much gayer uniforms than the line,
it was more pictuesque in• an artistic point of
v'ew than most reviews are. The Emperor
himself caused the troops to execute several
manoeuvres. Numerous foreign officers were pre-
sent, and amongst them several Austrian and
English

This is the day for the payment of the quarter's
rent by the lower class of house occupiers, and in
all parts of Paris workmen and their wives are to
be seen hauling about their small stock of furniture
in handcarts to seek for new lodgings. It was
feared that disturbances would take place, and the
authorities have caused military precautions to be
taken ; but, thus far, order has not anywhere been
disturbed.

The Bourse has again improved to-day, but
very slightly. The report of the Minister of Finance,
published yesterday, though representing the crisis
not to be so grave as is generally believed, and
merely temporary, has not produced the
effect that was hoped for. The determina,
tion of the Bank of France not to dis-
count bills at more than two months date, has
caused great dismay amongst small traders. This
is the period at which they lay in their stocks for
the winter, and they declare that they are unable
to pay for them in bills at only two months date,
as the wholesale dealers require; on the other
hand, they (the petty traders) are obliged to take
bills at three months, and even longer dates, from
their customers.

The post•office has this day published a notifica-
tion, that letters may be sent to Australia by vessels
leaving Liverpool.
Lord John Russell arrived at Turin on the sth,
and dined on the same day at the table of the
English Ambassador, with several Parliamentary
notabilities.

Swiss despatches say that a good deal of agita-
tion exists with respect to railways in the Canton
of Vaud.

General Narvaez arrived at Madrid on the sth.
The Nord says that Prussia, waaried by the
incessant opposition of the Southern States of
Germany, to all measures of a liberal commercial
character, contemplates retiring from the Zollverein,
in order to be at liberty to effect for herself such
customs reforms as she may think fit, The thing,
however, seems very improbable.

This evening, Mr. Artis and his extraordinary pupil,
the Young Garrick, will give their grand and pleasing
entertainment at the Assembly-room, Rock Hotel, Rock-
ferry. Doors open at half-past seven, to commence at
eight o'clock.
THE WEATHER, which for some time past was very
unsettled, has again taken up. The last two days were
remarkably fine, and yesterday was bright and warm.
The wind is in a dry point, and there appears groat
probability for saying that the remainder of the month
promises to be fine, as such is generally the case after a
severe fortnight of Equinoctial commotion.
SAILING OF THE AFRICA.—The Africa, of the " Liver-
pool" line of Australian packets, sailed yesterday evening
for Melbourne. She has a large and valuable general
cargo, and 350 passengers, of all classes. The ship was
tugged out by two boats, and, along with the owners
(Messrs. Magee, Livingston, and Walthew), there was a
large number of ladies and gentlemen, friends of the owners
and passengers, on board. After partaking of an ele-
gant dejune, the health of the owners, and also Captain
Chadwell (the commander of the fine vessel), and a speedy
and prosperous voyage to her, were proposed and duly
honoured. The first tug left her at the rock, and on
separating, three hearty cheers were exchanged between
the passengers, and the " returners." We wish all a
pleasant voyage.
A STEP TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC.—Yesterday, upwards
of a dozen persons were summoned before Mr. Mansfield
with having plied for hire, they not having a license to do
so. The informations were chiefly laid at the instigation
of Inspector Swaine. The evidence in each case went to
show that, on the sailing of any emigrant vessels, a large
number of young men, mostly of the most disreputable
classes, assembled on the quays, and, whenever they saw
a person with luggage, they forcibly took possession of it,
took it on board the vessel, and then demanded payment,
which, if refused, was attempted to be extorted by threats
and the use of the most abominable and disgusting lan-
guage. Most of the cases summoned on the present
occasion, arose on the departure of the Middlesex, when
a large number of these disorderly and disreputable
characters assembled on the Prince's Pier, and their
conduct was most abominable. In order to put a stop to
such a procedure, Mr. Mansfield inflicted fines of from 20s
to 40s. If these fines are not paid, the offenders will be
subject to various terms of imprisonment.
CoLLisfor: or: THE RlVER.—Yesterday, John Jones, the
master of the schooner Resolute, was summoned before
Mr. Mansfield, by Owen Lewis, the master of the smack,
John and Eliza, for compensation done to the latter
vessel by a collision on the 4th inst. Mr. Daggers
appeared for the defendant. The complainant stated
that, about noon, on the day in question, his smack was
lying by the wall at the entrance to the Canning
dock, when the defendant's schooner ran into
it, and did considerable damage, carrying away her
rail and stancheons on the larboard side before
the rigging. In cross-examination by Mr. Daggers, the
plaintiff stated that there was a large ship on the outside
of the schooner, which ran against the schooner and
forced it against the smack, which caused the accident.
Mr. Mansfield said : In that case the defendant is not
liable, as it was the ship that caused the accident. He

CORONER'S—COURT. - Informations of the following
deaths were received at the coroner's court, aid inquests
on the bodies of the deceased will be lheld this day :—On
the body of a child, named Thomas Barns, whose parents
live in 29 Court, Hornby-street. The deceased .•as seven
weeks old. He went to bed with his mother on the pre-
vious night, and, at an early hour the following morning,
was found dead by her side.—On the body of John Lunt,
a porter, aged 70, living in 4 Court, Gascoyne-street. The
deceased was in the employ of Mr. James Grayston, cart
owner, of Great Nelson-street. On Tuesday last, he was
engaged in loading some corn, when, in attempting to
catch hold of a sack, his foot slipped, and he fell from the
cart on his head, receiving such a severe contusion that
he died on the following day.--On a sailor, whose name is
supposed to be Silvestre Pace, who hung himself on some
deals in Sefton-street, where he was found quite dead.—
Also, on the body of Elizabeth Edwards, a child, who died
from the effects of being severely burned on the neck and
back ; and likewise on the body of a child, named William
Vickerstoff, who died on board the screw steamer North
America.
