THE DAY'S NEWS

Me splen

earn . ship Itiyal Charter,

under the command of that excellent commander

Captain Boyce, takes her departure from our shores
for Melbourne this afternoon. She is well
freighted, has a full compliment of passengers,and
goes out under the most favourable auspices
Yesterday the Ericsson sailed for New York,
having a semi-meekly mail, some passengers, and
a Oneral cargo of British and French manu
factures. The Cambria (s ), which was to sail
from Boston on the 20th ult., is now fully due,
and may be expected to-morrow.

The local incidents are centred in the monthly
meeting of the Town Council, which took place
yesterday. Mr. Hodson made an effort to induce
the Council to give the project of Messrs. Lea and
Bigham, for advertising upon the lamp posts, a
month's trial, but was defeated: Mr. Alderman
Holme sarcastically remarked, that if the matter
was countenanced, we should see the whole of
Lord-street, from end.to end, full of " Hyam's 20s.
coats."

Our space being unusually limited, we must
necessarily be brief as to the general topics of the
day. According to late advices from Vienna, a
protracted conference had taken place between
Count Buol and the French, English, and Neapo.
litan Ambassadors. After the conference despatches

were sent off by the latter to their respective
Cabinets, and it is now stated that the English
and French demonstration will be adjourned for a
short period, in consequence of the representations
of the Aastrian Cabinet.
The Paris correspondent of the Independance
mentions a report that a division of the Russian
fleet at Cronstadt had received orders to take in
provisions for two months, and to prepare for sea.
Its destination was to be Naples. The Indepen-
dance reasonably doubts whether the Russians
would send vessels from the Baltic at this time of
the year, when in a few weeks that sea will be
closed by ice against the return of the squadron.
The Emperor of France has arrived at Bordeaux.
The authorities at Milan are said to be casting
about in every direction in search of noblemen to
meet the Emperor on his approaching visit, and
present an address to him. Their great anxiety is
to persuade some-independent members of the
aristocracy to undertake this office, as they do not
wish to pav his Majesty the bad compliment of
engaging any of the few nobles who have habitually
shown themselves more Austrian than Italian in
in their feelings, the great object of Baron Burger
and his colleagues being to make it appear that a
great change has taken place in the sentiments

of the Lombards since the Emperor last visited
them in 1851.

Advices from Constantinople state that the prin -
ciple subject of attention in the Turkish capital,
next to that of the financial state of the country,
was the union of the Principalities, a measure
against which the Porte continues to express the
strongest objections. No decision had yet been
come to with regard to the concession of the bank.
The government is in great want of money, and
tbhyeifuonriy mlataiosn
tohfethoenlpyrompoesaencel blaikneklywa considered
to ameliorates
the present financial difficulties.

The intelligence from Spain and other quarters
do not possess features of much importance.

THE Royal Charter sails to-day from Liverpool,
and will convey to Victoria a large number of
passengers, and a valuable cargo of merchandise.
She will also carry to the Colony a vast amount of
commercial intelligence of vital import to the
Colonial merchants, and Australian wool growers
generally. We would direct earnest attention to

-LIVERPOOL,

the Liverpool wool sales, the most remarkable
fact connected with which is, that out of
14,000 bales offered in this most popular market.
only a few bales of Australian wool were to be
found. The attendance at each day's sale was
good, and the bidding, considering the abnormal,
and shameful state of what some folks will
persist in calling " the Money Market, " was very
spirited. The prices realised for the several brands
brought forward, will show the distant grower
what he has to hope for at our sales for similar
and superior samples. They also show the
exporters abroad the exact state of the market.
This must, in time, tell its own tale for the
producer and fair trader.

The entire of the 14,000 bales put forward will be

;old, with the exception of a few small and inferior

lots, and had an equal quantity of Australian wool
been offered it would have met with the same
spirited demand. Liverpool merchants and brokers
are resolved, in fact, to keep the wool brought to
this port for sale in Liverpool, and the Colonial
shipper. nught, for his own sake, to encourage their
determination. The numbers of Continental
buyers who attend our sales is much larger than
the number who attend the London market. We

this advised

and we need not point out the

)ton al wool exporters would der

ronl ti tvi

their produce here for them to buy
We have, on several occasions, shown what they
would save in transit, by employing the fast sailing
ships of Liverpool in the carrying of their wool, and
further saving to the buyer in inland carriage.

Such self-evident propositions do not require

frequent repetition. The man of business can
see them in an instant, and we think the Colonists
must admit that our spirited shipowners deserve
all the support they can give them. No
expense has been spared to render the ships
of the Mersey the finest in the world—no labour
spared to bridge over the yawning gulf which
separates Australia from the mother country, and
to give that importance and grandeur to the trade
and general progress of our Southern dependen-
cies which they one and all so well deserve, and
much require. London monopolised the wool
trade, and carried on the commerce of Australia in
crazy old tubs. They ruled freights in the Colonies
as they pleased, and they do so now, when the
needy Flockowners are compelled to ask an advance

from their agents on their clip.
Liverpool has broken up this monopoly, and her
merchants will, ere long, conquer the latter diffi-
culty. We understand the business of hypotheca-
tion as well as our metropolitan commercialists,
and it will soon become a favourite channel of
investment with our local capitalists. We shall
not always be suffering from a succession of
panics such as we have experienced for the last
three years. Australia can guarantee us against
such frightful anomalies, even if the commercial
world should submit to the interference of poli-
tical Charlatans with the industry, trade, and
commerce of the Empire. After the impending
crash of the present system, which will probably
be one of the greatest ever known, we shall right
ourselves, and the Colonies will feel the full
benefit of the business efforts which are
now being made to encourage their growth
and develope their resources. Liverpool takes
too prominent a part in these movements,
and her claims on the Colonies are too great, to be

overlooked. We have shown that Melbourne is
only 59 days from the Mersey by over-sea, which

is the only path wo can rely upon in all seasons ;
and, as this is the month in which the " Overland"
postal scheme is to be commenced, the Colonists will

yo a fair opportunity of judging of the superior

lerits of the Southampton and Red Sea route

The Royll Ch,trter may beat her recent perform-
ance outwards, but we feel perfectly satisfied that
the " Overland" mail will never equal it. The
people of Australia should read carefully the
Parliamentary reports of New South \Vales on the
subject, and judge for themselves before they vote
away their money in an abortive piece of Post-office
or Ministerial favouritism. They should look to
what the finest Southampton steamers have been
able to do as regards time, and not suffer them
selves to be led away by suppositions in a matter
of such moment.

Liverpool is the only port in England which can
secure the Australians a permanent steam commu-
nication. Vessels can obtain both cargo and
passengers here, and this they cannot do from
Southampton, or any other place in Great Britain.
Without goods and passengers no postal line can

be kept up for any length of time, and the present
project, via the Red Sea, must fail, unless the
Home Government are prepared to support it, for
the express benefit of London and Southampton,
at the expense of the nation at large. The Mersey
is the natural outlet for the manufacturing dis-
tricts, and its ships have performed the over-sea
passage in a shorter time than the vessels of any
other port. These are all facts which the Colonial
legislatures and communities ought not to loose
sight of for a moment. The'communication between
the two countries is of too much importance to be
trifled with, and as it must obviously be remune-
rative to be unbroken and permanent, our humble
advice to the Colonists is, to succour a purely
commercial and eminently successful line of direct

communication, in preference to any semi-political
route, which has nothing to sustain it beyond the
popularity of Southampton at St Martin's-le. Grand e,
and London newsmongers at Dawning-street. We
are ready to do the work, from century to century,
in less time, for less money, and still make it
remunerative to all concerned, and to Liverpool it
must be given at last; and we hope the Colonists
will have discovered this before they have squan-
dered away their money on an official job and
mercantile abortion.

ALLSOP'S WAX-WORK EXHIBITION, TEUTONIC-HALL
LIME-STREET, LIVERPOOL.—DOVE, THE MURDERER.—The
only correct likeness of this criminal is to be seen at the
above exhibition, and is placed by the side of Palmer. Both
these poisoners are full-length, and are acknowledged by all
to be perfect likenesses. They are surrounded by upwards
of 100 wax figures, large as life; together with 500 statues,
busts, casts of heads, &c.. &c. ; also a great number of
Stereoscopic and other views. The proprietor begs to state
that the likeness of Dove and Palmer are most positively
the only true ones taken. Palmer was modelled by Mr.
George Ewing, of London, during his trial at the Old
Bailey; and a sketch of Dove was taken by Mr. John
Storey, of York, and afterwards modelled expressly for Mr.
Allsop, by Mr. William Leland, of Liverpool. Open from
ten, a.m., till ten, p.m. Admission, Sixpence. A quadrille
band in attendance. Observe the name of Allsop's Wax-
work on the two lamps over the entrance.—Adv.

from the body, both legs and both hands had been cut off,
and the body had been so much mutilated that it presented
a most shocking spectacle, and was difficult to identify.
One leg and one hand were literally destroyed, for there
was nothing remaining that could show to what limb the
