" THE COCKS THAT CROW IN THE

MORNING."

TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN TIMES.
Sir,—in your journal of this day is a letter, signed
" Cock-a-doodle doo at the Barn Door," wherein the
writer states his being " pestered " by the crowing of
cocks as early as two and three o'clock in the morning.
I would suggest to your correspondent (as he cannot
sleep after those hours) to rise about four o'clock, and
apply himself to study (particularly that of diction), for
a few hours each morning, so that, before the dark
mornings, when there will be no daylight before half-
past seven, and the "cock" won't crow so early, he may
be able to write a more sensible letter, and give himself
a better name, when writing on such subjects.—Yours,
Liverpool, May 21, 1856. NE PLUS ULTRA.

The Bank of England has equalised its rate of dis-
count, by reducing long dated bills, to 6 per cent.
MALTA, May 15.—The proclamation of the Governor
has calmed the population. The men of the Italian
Legion, in custody, have all been pardoned and set free,
except a murderer.

THE QUEEN'S BIRCHDAY.—The Archbishop of Armagh,
owing to the continued illness of the Archbishop of York,
will give the customary banquet to the Bishops, in
honour of the Queen's birthday.

The prolonged provisional state of the diplomatic
relations between France and Russia is not so complete
as could be wished. The Baron do Brunnow is only at
Paris on an extraordinary mission ; and, according to
the correspondent of the Timeg, some persons begin to
think that no Ambassador will be named at all.

It is said that Prince Napoleon is to go to Civita
Vecchia to meet the Cardinal who is to represent the
Pope, at Paris, on the occasion of the baptism of the
Imperial Prince, which, it is thought, will take place
on the 15th June, though there is some doubt whether
the Empress will by that time be capable of undergoing
the fatigue of the ceremony .
The Assemblee. _Nationale, the organ of the Orleanist
party, is daily becoming more furious in its outbursts
against England, on account of the supposed policy of
the English Ministry in relation to Italy. It says that,
when the papal power shall have been abased, Italy will
become an easy prey, and revolutionists will have
speedily delivered up the bleeding remains to the
savage avidity of the London and Liverpool merchants.
