DOUBLE

ITS PRESENT SIZE.

The patronage and support hitherto accorded
to the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, has rendered

it necessary

for the Proprietors to enter into
arrangements for its speedy Permanent Enlarge-
ment to Double its present size. Until this is
effected, Double Numbers will be issued whenever

a pressure of news, or an influx of advertisments,
shall render it necessary. In making this an-
nouncement, the Proprietors, grateful for the flat-
tering encouragement they have already received,

avail themselves of the opportunity to state that
they will spare neither pains nor expense to render
the NORTIIERN DAILY TIMES the most accurate
and earliest authority upon all matters of news—
Political, General, Monetary, Commercial, and
Maritime. The new arrangements, when com-

pleted,

will impose

ipon the Proprietors the
necessity of ceasing to supply extra Slips to
Subscribers, but no increase will be made in the

rate of subscription, which is now 38s. per annum,

The usual weekly meetings of the Dock and
Health Committees were held yesterday. The
proceedings were not of much moment. Regarding
the latter, we find that the health of the town is
most satisfactory, the deaths being about 37 below
the average of the same date last year.
The foreign news is not of any great moment.
It is expected that on Wednesday the note of the
Allies would be communicated by Baron Brenier to
the King of Naples. The repeated assurance is
given that the note in question is couched in very
moderate and conciliatory terms. The effect no

one supposes will be what France and England
desire—namely, compliance with the earnest ad-
monitions addressed to them by King Ferdinand.
The instructions to Baron Brenier are, that if his
Majesty persists in refusing, he is to demand his
passports, and withdraw with the whole of his
Legation. Similar instructions have, no doubt,
been sent to the British Minister. With re-
spect to the fleets, it is stated that the
French squadron will proceed to Malta to
join the British, and that both will await
there the result of the last note and the final
answer of the King ; and if it prove, as is antici•
pated, unfavourable, they are then to proceed
towards but not to the Italian coast. On this point,
however, there exists some difference ; yet it is
evident that ships must be at hand to receive such
French and British residents as may not consider
it safe to stay after the departure of their respective
Legations. It is, however, believed that the con-
sequences will be pacific—at any rate, that nothing
will be done to provoke a revolution either in Sicily
or Naples.

According to letters from Vienna, the Neapolitan
Government continues its armaments with the
greatest activity. The war reserves have been
called out, which will bring up the force of the
infantry to nearly 70,000. A special credit has
been opened to General Filangieri, the chief of the
artillery, who is occupied in replacing all the old
guns on the batteries by new ones. The same
activity is displayed in the naval department. The
King has ordered that all the vessels of war shall
be fitted out for service, and that operation is
going on so rapidly that in a short time two line-
of-battle ships, fifteen sailing and steam frigates,
two corvettes, and several small steamers, and a
great number of gun-boats, will be ready to leave
the Neapolitan ports.

By Constantinople letters of the Bth inst , we
are informed that the last accounts from the Isle of
Serpents state that the Russians have still there
one officer, a surgeon, and five soldiers. Three
English vessels of war are at anchor off the island.
The Turkish vessel which brought this news
conveyed back the engineer and workmen who had
been employed in establishing the lighthouse.
Experiments as to the lighting had been made and
were found perfectly satisfactory. The lights in
the Sulina are visible at the Isle of Serpents, and
vice versa. These lighthouses are of great benefit to
navigation, as the Sulina can now be entered at
night with perfect security.
We have Madrid advices of the 14th inst. The
Madrid Gazette publishes a decree which re-estab-
lishes in the province of Guipuscoa the Central
House of the Jesuits, which was founded in 1851
under the Ministry of M. Bravo Murillo, and
closed at the revolution of 1854.
On Wednesday the Gazette contained a decree
re-establishing the concordat in full force, and
suspending the execution of the law for th e sale
of church property, Several Governors of towns
are dismissed. Arguelles is appointed Colonial
Minister.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the sth, says, the
Minister of Public instruction has returned here
from the tour which he has been making for several
months past in the various governments of Russia,
and particularly in the Central and Western ones.
He has sent in full reports to the Emperor relative
to the visits which he made to the several univer-
sities. In general his reports express satisfaction
at what he saw, but they also point out many items
on which improvements are called for The same
letter says, the incorporation of the regiments of
the old dragoon corps in the 7th cavalry' division
of the active army has just been effected, This
proceeding lessens the Russian army by five

regiments

Accounts from Teheran state that M. Bouree,
French Minister at the Court of Persia, and Baron
Lejeune, the bearer of the decorations sent by the
Emperor of the French to the Shah, had in July a
solemn audience of the latter monarch. The two
diplomatists, in a carriage drawn by six horses, and
preceded by outriders in full livery, arrived at the
royal camp escorted by numerous troops of cavalry
and officers sent by the King. On reaching the
palace, they were introduced with the usual Eastern
ceremonial. His Majesty, dressed in a brilliant
uniform, covered with diamonds and pearls, and
with the Persian head dress, surmounted by an
aigrette in brilliants, was seated in the grand
throne room, where he received the insignia from
the Emperor Napoleon with marks of the highest
After a short audience the French
.piomatists withdrew, and were carried back to
their residence with the same ceremonial that had
been arranged for their coming.
We are in receipt of New York advices of the
2nd inst., but they do not contain any news of
importance. The only topic of interest to the
citizens of the United States, was the Presidential
campaign. By the Khersonese, which entered
the Mersey yesterday afternoon, we have advices
from Newfoundland to the With inst., but cannot
find in the papers from that province a line
worthy of notice.

From Ireland we learn that the indictment
found against James Sadleir, by the Tipperary
grand jury, has been forwarded to the Crown-office
in Dublin, and that the writ of certiorari has been
obtained for removing the proceedings into the
Court of Queen's Bench. The idea, however, of
the interesting fugitive surrendering before the
ensuing term and putting himself upon his country
is treated as the most palpable of canards,
What ulterior steps may be in the contemplation of
the Attorney-General must, in an exceptional crimi-
nal case of this kind, be purely conjectural, but the
general speculation is, that all the necessary legal
forms have been resorted to to induce the culprit
to take his trial, and all failing—as no doubt they
will— Parliament will step in and measures be
taken for Sadleir's formal expulsion from the
House of Commons. Being thus an outlaw and a
fugitive from justice, his property would be con-
fiscate, and, the Crown consenting, might be sold
for the benefit of the Tipperary Bank dupes.
On Wednesday morning, at half-past one o'clock,
it blew a gale on the River Thames below bridge,
and there was a atrong tide running. Four vessels,
named the John and Elizabeth, Naples packet,
Northumberland, and Lavinia and Mary, lying at
Irving and Cooper's coal wharf, Wapping, broke
from their moorings, and did considerable damage.
They drove up the river, breaking adrift, and
bringing with them the barges and platform com-
posing the tunnel pier, and a great number of other
craft, some laden with valuable merchandise and
some empty, and nearly the whole of them drove
athwart the Aberdeen steamship, lying off the
Thames Police station. There was a tremendous
crush, and the ships and barges were forced on shore.
One of the protection piles at the Thames Police
causeway was torn down, and a Thames Police galley
swamped and nearly destroyed. One of the vessels
was sunk, but was subsequently raised and will
have to go into dry dock for extensive repairs.
Several barges laden with valuable cargoes were
sunk by the violence of tha collision with the
steamer, and a lug-boat belonging to Mr. Christo•
pher Hinds, lighterman, of Wapping, was totally
lost with a cargo of guano, valued at 60 guineas. A
man was crushed and killed, and a boat contain-
ing barrels of beer belonging to Mr. Rice, dis-
appeared under water, and has not been recovered.
At Southampton it was the highest tide along the
north shore that has been known for many years.
The wind blew hard for several hours from the
south-west, The gardens at Blechynden-terrace,
inside the Dorchester railway, were inundated
and considerable damage done. At Redbridge,
at the top of Southampton Water, the roads
were flooded and impassible. At Northam, a
shipbuilding village on the river Itchen, about
a mile from Southampton, the high tide
did considerable damage. The shipbuilding
yards, streets, and meadows, were overflowed. A
ship was floated off the stocks, and a man and
woman in a travelling caravan were nearly drowned.
Workmen were obliged to walk home up to their
middles in water

A private letter has been received in Southampton from
a person belonging to the Tay steamer, which states that
after she had struck all on board landed on au uninhabited
island where they remained three days, and lived on a
biscuit a day per man. Fortunately water was found on
the island, or great numbers would have perished. The
crew were taken off by a Mexican war-steamer, and con-
veyed to Tampico, where the letter was written.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING

The Neapolitan question is at last, according
to all appearances, approaching a crisis. The
Government is expecting, almost every hour,
to receive tidings from Naples of such a
nature, as will remove the last remaining
scruples it has to action ; and then it will
make the Moniteur speak, and send off the
fleets from Toulon to join the English squadron at
Ajaccio. A Cabinet Council, if I am correctly
informed, has already been held, to draw up the
text of the article which is to be inserted
in the Moniteur. This is rather of some
importance, as the Government, whilst acting
menacingly towards the King of Naples, is anxious
to have it clearly understood that it by no means
desires to encourage revolution. When at Naples,
the fleets will remain perfectly passive; indeed, it
is said that they will be kept at a considerable
distance from shore.

The German papers have asserted that the
French Government has sent to the Russian
Cabinet a reply to the circular of Prince
Gortschkoff, and have even stated the sub-
stance of it. I have reason to doubt that
any such reply has been sent. Indeed, as the
circular was not addressed to the French
Government, it was not called on to give any reply
to it.

The Bourse has been Blighty better to-day

The Moniteur publishes a return of the indirect
taxes, which shows that, in the first nine months
of the present year, they were 754,218,000 fr., which
were 54,000,000 fr. more than in the corresponding
period of last year, and 135,000,000 fr. more than
in that of 1854.

M. de Girardin, the well !known editor of the
Presse, is about to marry a young' lady (she is
English or American) of great wealth.
The Prince Adalbert of Bavaria, and his Spanish
bride, leave Paris to-morrow—not for London, as
was said, but for Munich.

The Madrid accounts are to the.llth—the day
preceding the change of Ministry. They state
that a few important political personages expected
the change, but that the great majority had no idea
of it. They state, also, that on the 10th—the
Queen's birthday—the Queen showed marked
attention to O'Donnell and his colleagues ; and
that, at a ball in the evening, she danced with him,
and with the Minister of the Interior, also with
Narvaez.

Constantinople letters of the 6th, arrived at
Marseilles to-day, say that the Porte had convaked
the Ambassadors to a preparatory meeting in order
to state their views on the re-organisation of the
Principalities. A change of Ministry, and the
re-accession of Reschid Paella to power, continued
to be talked of. There was agitation in Albania, but
the insurgents of Kurdistan had been partially
dispersed.

Accounts from Athens, of the 6th, say that
Admiral Lyons was expected there, and that it was
quite true that England has protested against the
projected sale of the national property in Greece.
An Algiers despatch states, that the Kabyle tribe
of the Guechtoulas has made its submission to the
French.

LATER FROM AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE S.S. KANGAROO

The Philadelphia Screw Steam-ship Company's
vessel Kangaroo, which sailed from that city on
the 2nd instant, has arrived, bringing a large
number of passengers, and a general cargo of
American produce.

The Kangaroo's news is only: a day later than
that previously to hand.
There was a perfect excitement throughout the
Union respecting the Presidential election. Meet-
ings of the friends of the respective candidates
were being held in all directions, and every artifice
was resorted by each to damage the influence and
prospects of the other.

_ .
From Washington, we learn that the opinion of
Attorney-General Cushing has been asked, as to
whether the alleged French defaulters, recently
arrested in New York, can be reclaimed under the
extradition treaty with France.

Extra compensation,to the amount" of 25,000
dollars, was paid to day, to the per diem employes
of the House of RepresentatiVes. The annual-
salaried officers, whose; extra is withheld, have
written to the Treasury Department on the subject.
