THE

The West Derby Board of Guardians held their
weekly meeting yesterday. The dispute between
the master and Mr. Lister formed the prominent

appointed to investigate the charges brought
against Mr. Lister produced their report, in which

they found, that Mr. Lister had made use of very
ungentlemanly, improper, and unjustifiable lan-
guage towards Mr. Gough. The resolution of the
committee was adopted by the board. Whether any
further steps will be taken in the matter, no
intimation was made. We perceive that Mr.
Batten, in moving the adoption of the committee's
resolution, took occasion to allude to, and ani-
madvert upon, certain remarks made in the
NORTHERN TIMES on Thursday last, and to

stigmatise them as an exparte statement, and void
of truth. With regard to the source of our
information, Mr. Batten labours under a mistake.

We have means of obtaining any intelligence we
require respecting the doings of the West Derby

Board of Guardians without requiring any member
to commit a breach of confidence, and anything
that Mr. Batten may say will not deter us

from doing our duty in exposing what we con-

eider improp,,,T conduct on the part of our public
officials. Whether the public will believe that Mr.
Batten's statement is " the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth," we cannot say. We
will only remark that we perceive Mr. Callis, who
was absent from the • board, in consequence of
indisposition, was not altogether satisfied with the
committee's proceedings ; and knowing his char-
acter to be that of a straightforward gentleman,
we expect that next week he will fulfil his promise,

a Council—held

ratic locality of " Great G

ping but

and explain to the guardians his opinion respecting
the squabble in question.
In another column will be found details of the
news brought by the Screw Steam-ship Kangaroo,
which entered the Mersey yesterday afternoon.
The extra Session of Congress was to assemble on
the 21st ult., and it was not expected to last lohger
than two or three days at most. The President's
Message, justifying the course he had adopted, and
setting forth in detail the several matters on which
he required the deliberation and action of both
Houses, had been prepared and laid before the
Cabinet, and approved. Some of the opposition
journals were publishing strong condemnatory
articles upon the :President's course of action, con.
ceiving that it was nothing more nor less than a
manoeuvre in connection with the approaching
presidential election. Upon this latter topic, there
is a dearth of any fresh intelligence. The demo-
crats of Philadelphia had assembled in mass meet-
ing, for the purpose of promoting the chances of
Messrs. Buchanan and Brackenridge, as candidates

for the presidency and vice-presidency. The
preamble to the resolution, pledging the meeting
to support these gentlemen at the approaching
contest, sets forth that, in consequence of the
exigency which has arrived, as regards the
domestic affairs of the Union, the seditious
and sectional feelings openly evinced by a portion
of the American people who seek to disturb the
peaceful regulations which have heretofore charac-
terised them, and the strong desire pervading in
that community at that time, brought about by
designing politicians, whose aim is—dismember-
ment of the glorious Union, and the formation of
geographical distinctions in governmental matters,
the meeting was impelled to select for the crisis, a
responsible, energetic, and patriotic executive, to
preside over their future destiny. The contest for
the Presidential Chair on the present occasion will
be particularly severe, and just now it would be
difficult to " guess" who will be declared the win-
ner. Affairs in Kansas remain as unsettled as ever,
and it is quite evident that the shilly-shally

policy of Gen. Pierce, with regard to that distracted
quarter of the American Union, has contributed,

in no small degree, to embolden the invading
Missourians. Fresh details respecting the Lousi-
ana tornado were received every day at New York.
The general destruction of property and great loss
of life are described as being truly heart-rending.

Our Continental advices are interesting. From
Paris we learn that the Minister of the Interior has
sent a circular, dated August 28, to all the Prefects,
desiring them to interdict the journals in the most
absolute manner, from continuing to treat of the
controversy about the colour of their flag, which
has been for some time going on between the

fusionists

It is hinted about in the French
capital, that Marshal Pelissier, alias Duke
Malakoff, is most indignant at not being appointed,
as he wished, Governor of Algeria. He considers,
it is said, a pension of 4,0001 a-year, quite an
inadequate reward for the military services he
rendered in the Crimea. Some of the Paris papers,
speaking of the matter, say that the Emperor has
a due sense of Marshal Randon's services, being
well assured that he has not to apprehend from
him that attitude of eventual resistance which it
seems Marshal Pelissier assumed in the East,
whenever his instructions, no matter from how high
a quarter they emanated, when they did not square
with his own views. The Estafette explains the cause
of Pelissier's non-appointment to the desired office,
from an anxiety on the part of the Emperor to reserve
the Duke Malakoff's sword for eventualities impos-
sible as yet to be very clearly foreseen. Several
other important items will be found in the letter of
our Paris correspondent, who is not only accu-
rate in his statements, but generally foremost in

the communication of all important intelligence

—others say that springs are breaking out anew,
and threaten to undermine some of the heaviest
sections of the conduits. Some persons will have
it that 150,0001. will be required shortly to supply
a second line of pipes, and all those who are in-
terested in the mines and other property of the
districts through which the Pike-water is to pass,
feel fully persuaded that an accident must happen
sooner or later, and that the loss of life and pro-
perty will be very much greater than the Burgesses
of Liverpool or the public authorities have any
idea of. Such wide apprehensions cannot, however,
be much longer neglected. The inhabitants of
Liverpool, or the people of the districts where
life and property are threatened, place no
reliance whatever on what emanates from the
Town Council on the subject. Everybody knows
the Pike Water Works have been a job from first
to last, and the enquiry in every man's mouth is,
" what will not a Corportion say in such cases ?"
But we are inclined to think that the tima is not
far distant when the matter must be noticed in
some higher quarter.

• If the works have not been properly executed,
as is publicly stated, and if a very large body of
water has been collected in the reservoirs, as Mr.
HOLT asserts, the whole matter ought to be enquired
into before coal-pits are deluged, and miles of
country are laid under water. We have heard
quite enough from really able and experienced
engineers to satisfy any sane man that the whole
scheme will be a failure, and that a break down on
the conduits is' sure to occur. This will no doubt
be pooh ! poohed ! by Mr. HAWKSLEY, and when
a catastrophe does take place the Pikeists in the
Council will endeavour to throw the blame on their

engineer. But who is to bear the cost of the
damage, which must inevitably be done to
property by the sudden discharge of many miles
of water on the surrounding farms and homesteads?
It will not do for the Corporation to tell the
sufferers that they have been grossly defrauded.
They are the principals and responsible parties in
the affair. They would go to the Pike for water,
despite all the town could say to the contrary. They
had perfect confidence in the purity of the water, the
stability of the plans, the lowness of the estimates,
the excellence of the works as they progressed, and
the skill and ability of their engineer, until over
500,0001. of the public money had been expended ;

and it is rather too late in the day for those who
have allowed so large a sum to be squandered
away to find fault and try to throw the responsi•
bility on the shoulders of their servants.

NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL,

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
We received later commercial advices from New
York this afternoon, by the Kangaroo. which sailed
from Philadelphia on the 21st ult. They did not
exercise any influence upon our Cotton Market,
which remains very firm as to price. Cotton is
freely put upon the market. To-day's sales are
estimated at 12,000 bales, of which speculators and
exporters took 3,000. The following is the weekly
report cf the Mobile market, dated August 18 :
Our Cotton Market during the past week has
remained steady, but with small sales, say about
1,100 bales. We quote middling at lop to 1010.
The receipts of the week were 700 bales, a decrease
of 2,300 as compared with the same week in 1855.
At New Orleans last week the receipts were 5,100

bales behind the same week last year. The total
increase in receipts at all the ports, as compared
with the corresponding period in 1855, is 713 000
bales ; and over the same period in 18153, 270,000
The increase in the exports reaches 729,000, of
which 413,000 were shipped to Great Britain, an
increase over last year of 430,000, and over the
year 1853 of 213,000. The increase in the ship-

ments to French ports, chiefly Havre, the past
year, is 69,000 bales. The decrease of stock in all
the ports of the United States, as compared with
last year, is 75,000 bales. Freights in this market
are dull at 5-16 d, and at New Orleans they are quiet

at d. There are very few vessels on the berth at
either port. From New Orleans we have dates to
the 19th ult, which inform us the sales of cotton
on that day were but 60 bales. Middling was

quoted 10ae to 101 e, andifreights to Liverpool $e

A very dull feeling characterised our Stock
Exchange to-day, and prices generally fell about

one per cent. Among the transactions
of the day were Caledonians at 26. Eastern

By a telegraphic despatch from Manchester, we
learn that the Share Market there this day sym-
pathised with that of Liverpool. The transactions
included the following :-London and North
Western Stock, 1041. Midlands, 814. Leeds Stock,
981, 98. Eastern Counties, 9 7-16. Dovers, 22 7-16.
Later in the day a decline took place, and the
subjoined sales were posted, the market closing
flat :-Leeds, 974 44. E. Telegraph, 234. Union
Bank, 24 p. Great Western of Canada New, 24.
Midlands, 804. Shropshire Union, 504. Great
Western of Canada, 244. Whitehaven and Fur-
ness, 54.
The Public Securities have been heay during the
day. Consols for account opened at 044, and
afterwards fell to 944. closing firmly at 944. For
Money the opening price was 944 ; afterwards, 95
was paid, then 941 and 95 ; the closing quotation
was 944 to 044. The New Three per Cents. were
done at 954, but, after receding, they left off at 95i
054. Exchequer bills were held at 13s to 15s
premium.
In the London Share Market the business re-
norted was limited, and buyers had the advantage
in price. Sales were made in London and North
Western Stock at 1044 ; Midland Stock, 81;
Great Western, 644 644 ; Newcastle and Ber-
wick, 82 ; and Caledonian, 514 52. In the
afternoon these rates were not supported, and the
latest quotations marked were :-Caledonian, 514

We find by our telegraphic despatches, that the
weather continues fine throughout the country,
consequently, the Grain trade is still further
depressed. At Mark-lane, to-day, the arrivals were
small ; the market being so thinly attended, and
the transactions so limited, that prices were merely
nominal.
The Liverpool Produce Market is quiet, and the
sales of Sugar, Tea, Coffee, and Rum, quite insig-
nificant. Our London report states that Sugar is
unchanged. Owing to the Dutch sales the Coffee
trade is firm. Rice keeps steady, there being a
moderate demand for white Bengal.
The following is the official report of the Linen
trade in the north of Ireland :-
Daring the past month considerable fluctuation was experi-
enced in the sale of goods. July has not done much for the
manufacturers, and the first and second weeks of August did
not show improvement. Within the last ten days a better
feeling prevailed, and between the extensive orders from
foreign markets, and the more active demand for home
consumption, business in the warehouses was very active.
Fine goods had accumulated, and as the turn out from the
fields was exceedingly large, a short lull in sales gave great
bulk to stock. We have nothing new to note relative to
damasks, that portion of the trade is well up to the satis-
factory point, and hands are well employed. Brown markets
for the week were better attended, tho larger contracts
having caused a more spirited movement on the part of
buyers of webs. Armagh and Tandragee were better sup-
plied, and in each the sale of linens was effected with
greater ease. Ballymena, on Saturday, had more than its
ordinary turn out, and at the close of business a large
amount of transactions had been marked off. Mill owners
are looking out for high rates in all fine numbers of yarns.
Top qualities of wefts sell on better terms, and demand for
fine warps now exceeds the power of several factories to keep
pace with it. This arises solely from the difficulty of procur-
ing, in full supply, the class of flax requisite to spin high
counts. Our reports from the country, relative to the flax
already pulled, are very favourable. The yield is likely to
turn out large, and the quality is superior to that of last year
or the previous one.
Advices were received here this afternoon, stating
that the British Bank had suspended payment.
It appears that yesterday there was a run upon the
Bank, and a large amount of specie was paid to
depositors. This morning the " run" recommenced
on the opening of the Bank at ten o'clock, and at
eleven the doors were closed, and the following
notice was posted :-" The business of this Bank
is suspended pending negocialions." At the half-
yearly meeting, on the 15th August, the Directors
declared a dividend of four per cent, but omitted
to state the amount of bad debts, which are sup-
posed to be considerable. The amount of paid-up
capital is 150,0001. The Bank was established in
1849, and at first gave great promise of success.
The shares of the Bank were quoted to-day at 201.
to 221. each, although the amount paid up is 50/.
The Globe of last night, alluding to the matter,
says-" The bank was established in 1849, upon
the Scottish system of banking, and at first gave
every promise of succeeding. but within the last
few s ears great mismanagement has, it is alleged,
prevailed, and the directors have vainly striven to
contend with the losses made by bad debts and
otherwise, until at last they have been forced to
suspend operations. At one time they were
negotiating with another Jeirt. Siocii Bank to
amalgamate their business, but this did not prove
successful. It is probable, however, that some
arrangement of this kind may be effected . The
actual amount of liabilities due by the bank has
not yet transpired."
Later advices from Melbourne have been received
by the London clipper ship Kent, which has arrived
off Dartmouth. The Kent sailed in company with
the Joseph Tarratt, for this port. Her dates are
June 6th. She brings 200 passengers, and 82 000
ounces of gold. As yet, we have not received 'our
letters or papers from the Kent, but we learn that
trade was in a satisfactory state at Melbourne.
The mines continued prolific, and gold was quoted
at 77s 6d per ounce.
By the Peninsular mail steam ship Alhambra,
which reached Southampton this forenoon, we have
advices, stating that, in Lisbon, bills on London
were quoted at 53 to 531 Two to three cargoes of
Wheat had been sold at 10 per cent less than the
rates ruling before the riots.

Gentlemen who will make vast lakes, and will
have rapids and waterfalls to rival those of Niagara,
ought to have a waste continent to experimentalise
upon in the first instance. They might be useful
in some places, where it would be an advantage to
extinguish a burning volcano; but, where we have
only coal fields and well-cultivated farms to prac-
tice upon, the manufacturers of rivers are any
thing but a help to the community who are so silly
as to allow them to try their 'prentice hands on the
fabrication of a young Mississippi. There are few
things too bulky or too heavy for the Aldermanic
pocket ; but the science of hydraulics, taken as it
has been in the Pike project, in all its magnitude,
is wholly beyond Corporate comprehension.
The Council could never be made to under-
stand that a sand-stone which absorbs an
incalculable quantity of water gives it off again
almost as quickly as it imbibes it. If they could
have been brought to believe in this almost self-
evident phenomenon of nature, they would scarcely
have gone to the Pike to make their Styx, and
call into existence a second river Acheron. They
never would have created an " Infernal Lake," in
which its projectors and advocates will be the first
to undergo the tortures of public indignation, if
they had known that, the rock on which Liverpool
stands is capable of supplying more water than
five times its present population could consume.
Tf they were determined to have surface water, why
did they not resort to some river for it ? A narrow
canal might have been constructed to bring the
water from such a source to the town at a very
moderate expense. This has been done in Mid-
dlesex, and London is indebted to a little dike
called the " New River" for its abundant supply of
pure and wholesome water.
The Corporation knew well enough where to
apply for reliable information on the subject, but
they were at a loss to know where to lay their hands
on the outline of a great job—something worth
having. Copying the little London brook, which
gives a constant supply to more than a million of
people, would not answer the main end in view.
They wanted something more than water, and they
have it now to their heart's content. Mr. HOLT
has told us that we shall be making our tea with
the Pike water in less than two months, but we are
now informed that it will be two years before we
taste the delicious green spa. We hope that
wooing frogs and affectionate tadpoles are not
stopping the way of a stream which moves with a
pressure equal to 250 or 300 feet. Porous embank-
ments ought to be sufficient for those who fatten
on disappointment. Frogs and toads are harmless,
except when they enter the spout of a teapot
or a family kettle. Guano and Congou is what the
House of Lords would call an "innocuous mixture"
for breakfast; but as the public are paying even
now for pure Pike water, the quality of the supply
will be warmly discussed. The Rate-payers expect
good and wholesome water for their money. They
will not have it if it is a " little greenish" and only
fit for " detergent purposes." Water which tastes
" vapid and unpleasant in the extreme," is not
what the town has paid for, and it appears the
Council cannot set the public mind at rest with
regard to the many lamentable accounts which are
given of this most disgraceful affair. November is
close at hand, and if the Pike water does not reach
Liverpool by that time, the Burgesses will know
how to receive candidates who solicit their
municipal votes.

According to Constantinople advices of the 27th
ultimo the Minister of War had given in his
resignation, and the Spanish Ambassador, M. de
Louza, had been recalled.

FRANCE

PARIS, WEDNESDAY NIGHT

A. telegraphic despatch from Paris states that
the Bourse was quiet, and that the Three per
Cents. was done at 70f. 80e.

FRANCE.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

It is reported to-day that England, France, and
Austria (yes, Austria!) finding the Bey of Naples
deaf to all remonstrances, have determined on
recalling their ambassadors from his court.
It is said that England has at last definitively
" pronounced" on the question of the union of
the two Danubian Principalities, and that
her pronunciamento is—" opposition to the union."
Heretofore, it has been supposed on the Conti-
nent that England was favourable to the union,
and that she even used her influence with France
to make her declare for it.

Marshal Pelissier is said to be very savage
with. the Government for not having made him
Governor-General of Algeria. His title, and his
pension of 100,000 fr. (4,000) a year are, in his
eyes, not sufficient to compensate for the loss of
that dignity which has been the ambition of his
life. The Government, however, was afraid to
confer it on him on account of the independence of
his character.
Some of the Councils-General of the departments
now sitting have already occupied themselves with
the bill presented by the Government to the Legis-
lative Body last session, for replacing the prohibi-
tions in the tariff by high protective duties. The
Council-General of the Heinault has, in a long
string of resolutions, draWn up with remarkable
skill, declared itself in favour of the bill ; and not
only so, but has called on the Government to make
the temporary modifications decreed in the tariff
permanent, to make a complete revision of the
tariff, so as to reduce all duties, and gradually to
abolish those on raw materials. The Council_
General of the Nord, on the contrary, has declared
against the bill, until, at least, all import duties on
raw materials shall be taken off. _ _

The Government has forbidden the provincial
newspapers to discuss the question of the union of
the two branches of the Bourbon family. This
union is advocated by some of the leading states•
men of the last regime. in the belief that, if it could
once be seriously effected, the overthrow of the
existing Government would be easy.
A telegraphic despatch, received to-day, an-
nounces the arrival of Prince Napoleon at Chris-
tiana, in Norway ; and says that, on account of the
bad weather, he has given up the idea of prosecut-
ing his voyage. He, however, meant to visit Stock-
holm.
The improvement which took place in the
Bourse yesterday has not been maintained to-day,
and business closed with a rather large fall from
yesterday's quotations. It was reported that the
Credit Mobilier has obtained the monopoly of the
export of skins from Russia.

The Alhambra has arrived with the Peninsular mails.
She left Lisbon on the 29th ult., and brings 19 passengers

The cholera still continues to decrease, although the
weather has lately been sultry in the extreme. The official
return since the last packet sailed shows 440 new cases

LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY
COMPANY.

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held
yesterday, at the Palatine Hotel, Manchester, H. W.
Wickham, Esq., M.P., chairman of the board of directors,
presiding.
The report, which has already appeared, was taken as
read.
The Chairman then rose aad said, that he would offer
alfew remarks upon the report, and the subjects to which
it referred, before he proposed the motion for its adoption.
He was happy to be able to congratulate them on the
improved, and, he might say, the improving prospects
of the company. This time last year, a dividend
of 4 per cent had been declared, but, in order
to do that, £5,000 had been taken from the
reserve fund, but this year, instead of taking
anything from the reserve fund, they were able to add
.e 2,000 to that particular fund. For the information of
such proprietors as were not present, he thought it right
to refer to a paragraph which had appeared in oue of the
public prints, in which reference was made to the state.
ments of this half-year's accounts—e24,ooo for repairs of
roads had been charged to revenue. With respect to the
money expended on the permanent way, he believed that
during the six months which expires this half-year
£24,718 was the sum, all of which had been entered and
charged to the working expenses. The money had been
expended in the relaying of the way with new and heavier
rails. The whole of the suggestions in the paragraph were
quite extravagant, and beyond the fact. The total
revenue from all sources during the half-year
amounts:to £566,047, which, reduced by £8,443, received
on account of the Liverpool and Southport line, was
£557,604, as against £504,207 in the corresponding half-
year of 1855,4 showing an increase of £53.397, or 10i per
cent. The expenditure had been £255,373, and taking off
£9,252, expended on the Liverpool and Southport line,
left 226,121, against £211,459 in the corresponding
period of 1855. The passenger traffic showed an in Tease
of £14,400, and the goods traffic an increase of 3.7,000,
and the traffic on the current half-year continued to be
more favourable, altogether showing 'a vitality in the line
which the directors hoped bad not reached its highest
point. Having made some further observations, includ-
ing a reference to the Liverpool dock branch,
which,
said, the directors believed would be a most profit heable
investment, he concluded by moving the adoption of the
report and accounts. _ _

William Stuart, Esq., of Liverpool, deputy-chairman,
seconded the resolution, and spoke in the most encourag-
ing terms of the prospects of the company. He remarked
that, although the chairman had not stated it, he had every
confidence that the directors next half-year would be in a
position to recommend a dividend at the rate of five per
cent.

In. answer to a question frOM Mr. Watkin, the chair-
man stated that the' directors had every reason for
believing that the land held' by the company at Liverpool
would soon yield a good return.
The report and accounts were then passed.
The Chairman next moved, and Mr. Angus, one of the
directors, seconded the motion, that a dividend at the
rate of 41 per cent per annum be declared on the various
classes of shares. Carried.
The Chairman thin moved, and Mr. Broadbent
seconded, a resolution, to the effect that the directors be
authorised to opposo all bills in parliament prejudicial to
the interests of the company. Carried.

A long discussion took place respecting a charge which
had been brought against Mr. Anderton, one of the
directors, by a number of merchants at Bradford. A
resolution was ultimately passed, to the effect that the
parties had failed in substantiating the charge, and
expressing the undiminished confidence of the share-
holders in Mr. Anderton.

proceedings then terminated with the usual vote of
thanks to the chairman.

TUE AMERICAN MAms.--The United States mail
steamer, Atlantic, Captain Eldridge, sailed for New York

THE UNITED STATES•

ARRIVAL OF THE KANGAROO.

By the screw steam-ship Kangaroo, Captain Ewing,whicil
sailed from Philadelphia on the 21st ultimo, and arrived here
yesterday afternoon, we have received intelligence from that
city to the above date.
The Kangaroo brings 150 passengers, a large cargo of
United States produce, and specie on freight amounting

12,000 dollars.
She reports the arrival of the Cunard steamer Africa, at
New York, on the 20th ult.
The Kangaroo's intelligence is only one day later thee
that received by the Asia. We subjoin the chief peel°
of the intelligence contained in the papers now to hand.
Our Washington advices state that the President
;'0
message for the extra session of Congress, which was d
meet on the day the Kangaroo sailed, had been submit°
to the cabinet and approved unanimously. It recites the
extraordinary circumstances under which Congress is con;
vened, and the urgent necessity which impelled 0!
President to adopt this constitutional resort. It special
urges the condition of Oregon, Washington Territory and
Florida, exposed as they are to Indian depredations a;
other dangers, and the inability of the Ex,cutive
afford protection, without the appropriations 0°,11;
tamed in the army bill. Great ingenuity °,O
been exercised in presenting a plausible case to
country, to counteract the adverse effects already
produced. There is said to be no truth in the statetnen
alleging a disagreement in the Cabinet concerning ,e
policy of an extra session ; that step was resolved leo
before leaving the capitol on the 18th ultimo, and wag Bs
given out in well-informed circles, with the Presiden
authority. The democratic members and others, who 11,1
arranged their departures, doubtless expressed dissatisfaetre
at their compulsory stay or return. The Senor Escalantt;
Spanish minister at Washington, has sent his resiguati?,
home, being unwilling to serve under O'Donnell's goverui,
ment, unless it shall be aided by the Progressista party, e,
which he is a leading member. This step is regretted
