Tfrosr. who read the leading London journals
must have seen that they exhibit a strong desire to
work the conversion of Great Britain—•constitu-
tional England !—into a huge military nation. The
metropolitan Times, of Thursday, loudly advocates
the notion, while actually doubting the possibility
of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S being able
to meet the demands on the Treasury for the year,
without making further drafts on the money
market ! Our cotemporary remarks, with his usual
adriotness, that "It becomes a question whether
" the more formidable efforts, and more prefuse
" expenditure of war may not be avoided bq assuming
" more the ordinary character of a military nation."
The extraordinary extent of the efforts we made
within two short years prove most incontestibly
that we are essentially a great military Power,
notwithstanding that we have always scorned

and manfully resisted the assumption of

' ordinary character of

military

" nation"—which simply means a despotism

in its most comprehensive signification !
The aristocracy would, no doubt, like to finger
58,000,0001. annually, in the shape of army and

But when was England not a military nation ?

Throughout the forty years' peace, we had never

THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY

our finances, trade, and industry at home, we shall
find but too much of that exhaustion and weakness
which attends all military nations, without ventur-

ing on the open and mad assumption of the other
characteristics of military States.

Every packet from our transmarine possessions
brings some dismal tidings of trade, production,
and future prospects—deficiencies in revenue,
added to the failure of crops, or unnatural depre-
ciation of all the world has to sell, constitute the
burden of every mail from abroad. Australia, with
her hundreds of square miles of gold-fields, can
hardly supply the cry for bullion in British India.
The expenditure of the Indian Presidencies—
Bengal , Madras, and Bombay—has been sufficiently
in excess of their revenues to cause a constant draft
of bullion, and therefore a perpetual derangement
of the home money market for the last four years.
They cannot consequently sustain the " char-
" acter of military nations." And where have we a
Colony which could support a military chest of the
magnitude which would entitle them to the high
distinction ? Is England, then, to stand under the
burden of a war force of 670,000 men, exclusive of

sailors, marines, coastguard men, yeomen, pen-
sioners, and constabulary? We can easily find a
million of men ready to dance in red jackets and
other State uniforms for a shilling a day, with
nothing to do ; but who is to pay the equally will-
ing piper? Men who look below the surface of
society may see much to render them remarkably
uneasy as regards the future; but can they not
discover that all that alarms them dates from great
derangements in the material conditions of nations,
and that nine-tenths of those complexities arise
directly from their assuming the character of
military nations, with all its committant extrava-
gance and other moral and political abominations ?

those of Saturday. The final prices stood
thus :-047-16 94 9-16. The price of the new three
per cents for the new loan, although high,
does not seem to have caused serious inconveni-
ence to the subscribers in face of the buoyancy of
the Stock Market. The smallness of the loan, the
expectation of a favourable financial statement to-
night, and the steady arrivals of gold, all contribute
to induce. a confident feeling. Public attention
is also struck by the evidence which this loan-
subscription affords of the abundant financial
resources of the country. The aggregate subscrip-

applying by the apprehension that the exclusive
competition would necessitate a serious curtail-

It is a remarkable and lamentable failing in men,
who think over evils they cannot comprehend, to
suggest as palliatives, those which they do under-
stand. Not being well up in the principles of a
sound materialism, they scout rationalism, and fly
off at a tangent into social heresy and political
depravity. This mental delinquency is pardonable
enough, as it is almost universal amongst the
public writers of the day. But let us hope that
our good sense will keep us from attempting to
" avoid the evils of a profuse expenditure of war,"
by sanctioning its continuance in time of peace.
An effort will be, and is being made, to induce us to
forsake our common sense, and put on the cap and
bells ; still, a general election must take place
before much mischief can be done, and another
financial statement must be laid before the
country, to demonstrate the utter imprac-
tibility of the sapient suggestion. If large
armaments, as Great Britain understands
or reads the phrase, provides for them
and puts them in motion, are to be thrown
on the people to support the sevel, socially and
politically, may be readily foreseen, and may Pro-
vidence ever stand between this commercial and
free Empire, and the wicked assumption of that
character which has been used throughout all ages
for the debasement and destruction of every
enlightened and civilised people. The reactionary
spirit we always dreaded so much, already shows
itself in the advocacy of prodigality and intoler-
ance. Europe is full of both, and the course for
England to pursue, more now than ever, is one of
strict economy, none intervention in the affairs
of other States, and toleration towards all men. If
we depart from this line, which reason has chalked
out for us, we shall bring the world upon our
backs, when we have none of the attributes of an
Atlas to bear the weight of our follies and
wickedness.

THE NEW LOAN.

ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, another interview was
held at the Treasury, on the subject of the new loan of
L 5,000,000, for which the government invited tenders by pub-
lic notice, dated the Bth instant, and in reference to which a
preliminary or explanatory meeting took place at the same
department on Tuesday last. On this occasion the government
was represented by Lord Palmerston, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, and Mr. James Wilson, secretary to the treasury,
who were accompanied by Sir A. Spearman. Among the
gentlemen from the city were Baron L. Rothschild and Sir A•
Rothschild, Mr. Weguelin, governor of the Bank of England,
Mr. Cape], Mr. R. Cazenove, Mr. I. Cohen, Messrs. R. and
T. Thornton, Mr. B. B. Williams, Mr. Biddulph, Mr. Majo-
ribanks, Mr. Norbury, Mr. Lawrence, &c.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer commenced the business,
by observing that he would hand in the sealed paper containing
the minimum price of the government to the governor of the
bank.
Thia having been done,

THE COURT.

OSBORNE; May 17.—Prince Albert went over to Gos-
port yesterday, and visited the forts now erecting. The
Prince returncd to Osborne about two o'clock, and drove
out with her Majesty in the afternoon.

EXECUTION or nip; MURDERERS OF MISS HINDS.—The
execution of James Murphy and Thomas Dunn, con-
victed at the recent special commission, the former for
the actual murder of Miss Hinds, and the latter for con-
spiring with others to procure the perpetration of that
crime, took place in front of the gaol at Cavan, on Fri-
day last. Strong detachments of militia and constabu-
lary were on duty, lining the streets in the neighbourhood
of the prison, and guarding the entrances to the town ;
and about fifty men of the depot of the Bth Hussars
were also engaged in preserving order.

Baron Rothschild (addressing the right hon. gentleman)
said : There is a rather important question which I should like
to put to you—namely, what are the intentions of the govern-
ment with regard to exchequer bills.
'I he Chancellor of the Exchequer : Well, I stated what
our intentions are at the previous meeting. There is no in-
tention—at least there is no expectation on our part of issuing
exchequer bills. Does your question apply to the issue of
exchequer bills? _ .

Baron Rothschild : No. It rather relates to the interest.

—.„.....—........
The Chancellor of the Exchequer : The rate of interest ?

Baron Rothschild : Yes. -
The Chancellor of the Exchequer
notice will be given very shortly.

All I can say is, that
I cannot give you any

further information at present.
Baron Rothschild : The government have not decided upon,

funding ?
The Chancellor of the Exchequer : No ; On the contrary ;
I stated on the last occasion that the government had decided
for the present not to fund.
Baron Rothschild : The question you have to decide is,
whether the rate of interest shall he increased.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer : Just so.
B•tron Rothschild : In order to enable the bills to float ?

DEATH OP LORD ADOLPHUS FITZCLARENCE.—We
regret to have to record the death of Rear-Admiral Lord
Adolphus Fitzclarence, who expired at half past ten
o'clock on Saturday night, at Newburgh Park, the seat
of Si? George Wombwell, in Yorkshire. By the
melancholy event the families of the Earl and Countess
of Munster, Lord Frederick and Lady Augusta Gordon
Hallyburton, Lord and Lady De Lisle and Dudley.
Viscount and Viscountess Campden, the Earl and
Countess Erroll, Lady Frederick Fitzelarenee, General
and Lady Mary Fox, &c., are placed in mourning.

FATAL EXPLOSION IN WOOLWICH ARSENAL•—FOOR
LIVES LOST.—On Saturday afternoon last, another
explosion occurred in the laboratory department of
Woolwich Arsenal, the result of which has caused
the utmost excitement, and plunged 'many families
into the deepest affliction. The dead and maimed were
found in all directions at a considerable distance from
the sheds; and one poor fellow was literally blown to
atoms—his limbs being entirely disjointed. The follow-
ing are those killed on the spot—William Flack, fore-
man of the mixing sheds ; Rich. Taylor, John Reading,
and William Green, labourers. The seven other prin.
eipal sufferers were conveyed to the Royal Ordnance
Hospital in ambulance waggons, under the direction of
the royal ordnance surgeons. On enquiry at the hos-
pital, we ascertained that all the sufferers were in a very
precarious state.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer : Well, the discount is
not very-large. That is a question which cannot be decided

ANOTHER OFFICIAL DEFAULTER.—In consequence of
the lengthened enquiries resulting from the complaints
made by the convicts on board the Stirling Castle,
convict invalid hulk, in Portsmouth harbour, circum-
stances have transpired of a somewhat serious character.
These complaints were made previous to the murder of
the late Mr. Hope, the surgeon of that ship, and they
were repeated subsequently ; and it appears that an
enquiry was instituted by three of the inspectors of
prisons under the Home Office. The exact result of these
enquiries has not, of course, been promulgated, but it
appears they have led to the precipitate dsparture of
Major Shaw, the governor of the Stirling Castle, who it
is reported has appropriated to his own use some £6OO,
the property of the government, and which was entrusted
to him for payment of general expenses, wages of warders,
&c. The salary of the governor is £350 per annum,
besides which he had apartments on board the hulk.
Mr. John Shaw was formerly, we hear, a colour sergeant
in the British army ; the title of major was obtained in
the Spanish service, in the contest against the claims of
Don Carlos. He is an aged man, about 60, married,
and has one son. Captain J. S. Warren, deputy governor
of Milbank Prison, was appointed early in the week to
succeed Mr. Shaw in tire governorship of the Stirling
Castle.—Hampshire Telegraph.

at present.
Baron Rothschild: It may affect the price.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer : Is there any gentleman
present who is prepared to make an offer ?
In reply to his question, Baron Rothschild handed the right
hon. gentleman a paper.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer : Before reading this, I
will ask if there is any other gentleman present who wishes to
make a tender ?
No reply having been made to this question, the right hon.
gentleman asked the Governor of the Bank whether ho was
prepared to put in a tender ?
Mr Weguelin having given only a negative response to this
appeal,
The Chancellor of the Exchequer at once opened the
paper which had been put in by Baron Rothschild, and read as
follows : _ _ _

" London, 19th May, 1856.
" To the Chancellor of the Exchequer : Sir,—,We beg to
offer for the proposed loan of £5,000,000 sterling, to he paid
for at the periods mentioned in the public notice of the Bth
instant, at the rate of £lOB 33. per ceat., Consolidated
Annuities, with dividend from January last for every £lOO
in money, on which we are ready to pay the required

deposit."
No (continued the right hon. gentleman). that is not quite
equal to the reserved price. Just let me ask how much this
is equal to in Consols ?
Baron Rothschild : £lOB is very nearly equal to 92g.

Mr. Capel : It is between 922 and 924.
Baron Rothschild : It is 9d. less than 92k.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer : Perhaps the governor of
the bank will now open the sealed paper.
Mr. Wegueli2 then opened the paper referred to, and read
as follows :—" £lO7 103. 7d Consols for every £lOO in
money, or equivalent to 93 for every £lOO Consols."
The Chancellor of the Exchequer : Tho difference is about
three-eighths.
Baron Rothschild : If you will allow us to do so, we shall
be happy to withdraw for a short time, as we did on the last
occasion.
An interval of about five minutes then elapsed, during
which Baron Rothschild, and the monetary gentlemen who
accompanied him, were occupied in consultation in an adjoin-
ing apartment. On their return,
Baron Rothschild (addressing the Chancellor of the
Exchequer) said : We have decided upon acceptin your terms.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer : Very goodg . Then you
will please to sign the paper.
The contract was then signed, and the interview terminated

TfIE TIPPERARY BANK.—Yesterday, the Master i n
Chancery (Mr. J. J. Murphy), pronounced his decision
in the case of Mr. Wilson Kennedy, Mr. Vincent Scully,
Mr. Birch Kennedy, and Mr. Stirling. In the first place
he erased the names of the two former gentlemen, and
that of Mr. James Sadlier, from the list of directors ;
in fact, be dissolved the directory altogether, upon the
grounds that, it was wholly unnecessary to regard them
as directors, in respect to their liabilities, as the registry
of their names as shareholders held them liable far the
full amount of their shares, in respect to Mr. Birch
Kennedy and Mr. Stirling, the master erased their
names from the list of shareholders, discharging their
responsibility, but in the case of Mr. Wilson Kennedy,
and the other gentlemen already named, he declared
that they were accountable, and held them liable as
shareholders in the full amount,

Collo INo.uEsTs.—Yesterday, the Coroner held
the following inquests :—On the body of John Needham.
The deceased was addicted to excessive drinking, and
whilst in that state, he stopped out, took cold, and died
from the effects of both. Verdict accordingly.—On the
body of Anne Roche, who died suddenly on Saturday.
Verdict, " Died by the visitation of God "—There were
three other inquests held on children who were
smothered in bed.
