of public announcements, which the council is bound
to guard against.
The local disasters of the day are numerous and
serious. Three cases of steam-boat collision have
taken place, and an accident on the East Lancashire
Railway is reported. Happily no lives, as far as we
have learned, have been lost. The Railway accident
took place at the North Dock Junction, about two
miles from Liverpool. The collisions on the river were
with boats belonging to Messrs. Willoughby, of
the Tranmere ferry. The Cato, on Sunday night,
ran in to the Monk's Ferry railway boat with the
passengers by the last train from Chester; she cut
the railway boat on the starboard bulwarks, and
doing other damage. After this, the Cato got into
collision with the Woodside ferry boat Liverpool,
which was lying at her moorings between the
Monk's and Woodside ferries. Misfortunes
do not come singly. Accordingly, last night
the Fanny, consort to the Cato, was run
into by the Manx Fairy, from the Isle of Man,
and cut down to the waters edge. We give else-
where, all the details of the mishap, which have
reached us. We are glad to find that there is not
loss of life by the disaster, although there was
very great risk. How these accidents have taken
place, it is as yet difficult to say. Certain it
is, that the escape of the passengers on board
the Fanny, was most providental, and truly
miraculous

Another topic of local interest to which we would
allude, is the further examination of Mr. Tyson,
at the Bankruptcy Court, yesterday. The
case, from the startling revelations made at
the former examination, in consequence of the
bankrupt's monetary dealings with Mr. Pember-
ton, excited a good deal of interest, particularly
among persons connected with the corn trade
The further the matter is probed, the more
damaging is the proof as to Tyson utter recklessness
in the management of his business concerns—by
paying a rate of interest for loans, which would
ruin any one.

Our news from Ireland informs us that at a
meeting of the National Crimean Banquet Com-
mittee, on Friday afternoon, it was announce d
that the subscriptions had reached £2OOO. The
railway companies have offered to convey the
soldiers from different parts of Ireland gratui.
tously, the waiters of Dublin will serve at the
banquet gratuitously ; and offers are made of the
gratuitous loan of tumblers and glasses, and other
similar necessaries. It appears that Ireland
is rich in her mineral resources, and that
another large nugget of gold has been found in
Wicklow, by the same parties who were fortunate
enough to make a similar discovery a few weeks
since. The present one is said to weigh 2 lb " of
pure, clean gold," and was found in the clay-slate
rock. Pauperism has decreased so much in the
Carlow union that the surplus of funds now in the
bank enables the guardians to dispense with a
poor rate for the present year.
Affairs on the European continent are still
unsettled. According to the last accounts from
Marseilles, it appears that the vessels destined to
form part of the squadron for Naples were
assembled at Toulon, awaiting the signal for
departure. From the same quarter we hear that
Piedmont will also send a naval force to the Gulf
of Naples. The four powers who figured at the
Paris Congress, and who are most interested in the
affairs of Italy, will thus appear together before
Naples- The fact of the naval demonstration
against Naples has, it is said, created a profound
sensation in Vienna. Nevertheless, Austria will
not join the allies, but continues to act as medi-
ator with the King of Naples, conformably with her
line of policy; and if reliance can be placed in our
advicA from Vienna, Baron de Hubner has given
a report of his interview with the King of Naples
which is of a nature to dissipate the hope of obtain
ing concessions from that monarch.
The Sardinian government has addressed a
circular to all the superiors of the convents sup-
pressed by the law of May 29, 1855, summoning
them to deliver up to the authorities all the title
deeds, contracts, and registers still in their
possession, it having been discovered that
the clause of the above law relating to such
documents has been in many cases eluded.
A letter from Berlin, dated the 26th of Sept., and
received in Paris, says :—The present monetary
crisis has given force to the idea of selecting gold
as the standard in all the German States of the
Zollverein. It is well known that a proposition to
this effect has already been made in the monetary
conferences held at Vienna, where it met with
many obstacles to its success. It is affirmed that
it is now favourably received on all hands, if only
as a means of avoiding the fluctuations in th e
relative value of coin and paper.
The tenor of our French advices are unims
portant. The Emperor and the Empress had
arrived at Bayonne, to be present at the dramatic
representation which the town is now giving
in their honour. We refer to the letter of our
Paris correspondent for further information
respecting the news from France.
Matters are quiescent in Spain. We notice in
the Madrid journals that in the engagement at
Meililla, the governor of the garrison, General
Buceta, was seriously wounded. The govern
ment had determined to forbid all such isolated
combats for the future, as even when successful
they are of no real advantage; and it contem-
plated sending three steamers and between
5000 and 10,000 men to chastise the Moors.

THE DAY'S NEWS

Last night Mr. Wm. Ewart Gladstone addressed
a large and highly influential assemblage, at the
Collegiate Institution, on behalf of the claims of
the Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign
Parts. It is now fully fourteen years since Mr.
Gladstone addressed the people Of Liverpool, and
on the last occasion it was at the inauguration of
the Collegiate Institution• The fame of the Right

The semi-official Epocct says :—A Cadiz paper
states that the sequestration placed on the
property of the Queen Mother is about to be taken
off. This is very probable indeed, after what took
place in the Cortes. Where no categorical accusa-
tion against her Majesty was made, it could not be
otherwise. Confiscation is abolished in Spain, and
when it was condemned by the respectable govern-
ments of the liberal and conservative parties in
the case of the Prince of Peace, it was impossible
to apply it to the prOperty of the mother of the
Queen. Such measures can only be adopted in
revolutionary periods, but cannot be persisted in
when the laws recover their empire, and the sound
sense of the people regains its rights.

Hon. gentleman as an orator, and his intimate
connection with the town of Liverpool, brought
together the important and respectable meeting
alluded to. The Bishop of Chester presided, and
there were several other influential members of
the Church present. We give a verbatim report of
of the meeting, and have no doubt that all our
readers will be highly gratified by perusing the
speeches delivered on the occasion.
The Bishop of London has replied to an address
from his clergy, presented on his preposed retire-
ment from the spiritual charge of the diocese. Both
the address and the reply are couched in feeling
arid affectionate terms. Whilst he is glad at being
relieved from the onerous duties of his bishoprick,
bis Lordship regrets that the legislature did not pass
some general enactment, enabling old and infirm
bishops to retire into private life when unfit to
discharge the duties of the Episcopate. His
Lordship concludes by an earnest desire that the
work of church extension may go on progressing
as it has done for some years past.
We have inserted in another column a letter
from Mr. Lea, the projector of advertising on street
lamps ; but, whilst doing so, we by no means anti-
cipate anything like the advantages which he, as
the inventor of the project, so sanguinely enter-
tains. Indeed, to our mind, there are reasons why
the ;Town-Council should set their face against
the proposal—not the least of which is the fact
that it would create a monopoly in that description

THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.

FRANCE.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT)
PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING.

If we are to believe telegraphic despatches which
have reached us to-day from Berlin, the difficulty
between Russia and the Allies about Bolgrad, has
been settled, by Russia consenting to give up the
place to Moldavia. The same thing has, however,
been said before.

A Copenhagen despatch assures us that a con-
vention has been concluded between France and
Denmark, by which the latter power cedes to the
former a portion of the territory of Iceland for
salting fish.

Disturbances have taken place at Pesaro, in the
Russian States, on account of the heavy burdens
in taxation, and otherwise imposed on the people
by the Austrian occupation ; but they were not at
all serious, except as a manifestation of public
opinion. They, nevertheless, resulted in the
triumph of the people, who succeeded in prevent-
ing the levy of a peculiarly obnoxious tax.
A Berlin letter says that the Russian
Government has addressed a circular to its diplo-
matic agents, in which it shows itsclf dissatisfied
with the threatened intervention in Naples, and
with the prolonged occupation of Greece. This is
the fir,t circular on European affairs, not directly
concerning itself, which it has sent out since the
peace ; but it has not, it is said, created much
sensation in diplomatic circles.

The Bourse has again been in a very bad state
to-day, and the Threes closed at 90c for cash and
time below the prices of yesterday; railway shares
and other securities being also lower. The prin-
cipal cause of the decline was the fall in the Eng-
lish Funds, and unfavourable accounts from the
German money markets, The Lyons Railway
Shares fell at one moment as much as 40fr, and
closed at 273 fr lower than yesterday's prices. This
was owing to a report being spread that a very
great robbery, similar to that of the Northern
Railway, had been committed in its Bureaux, but
the report was alleged to be unfounded.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.
We are now told, on the authority of Vienna
despatches, that Baron Hubner, the Austrian
Minister at. Paris, sent to Naples on a non-
official mission, will not return to Paris so soon
as had been expected. According to the same
authority, France and Austria are perfectly in
accord as to what is to be done with Naples, and
the former has even undertaken that, from the
projected intervention, the authority of the King
shall not suffer too much. This, however, seems
very strange, and before believing it, we may wait
for the ;confirmation of it. It was said a
few days ago, you will remember. that
Austria was to take part in the Anglo-French
demonstration, but this is now greatly doubted.
It is to be hoped that it is not true, as the par-
ticipation of Austria would, in the eyes of the
Italians, deprive the intervention of all its value.
There is a talk of Austria having addressed a note
to England and France, calling their " serious
attention to the grave consequences which the
threatened intervention in Naples may produce."
This seems far more likely, but the Austrian
warning comes too late.

The Emperor and Empress have officially notified
their intention to arrive at Bordeaux, on Tuesday
afternoon, at five o'clock They are to be enter-
tainedj at a great banquet ; and there is a report
current, I know not on what foundation, that to
please that city, which is noticed for its ardent
attachment to liberal commercial policy, his
Majesty will make a speech, in which he will
declare, that he will make larger reductions in the
tariffs than he has hitherto affected, and that ho
will express the conviction that in so doing, he
will promote the welfare of the great bulk of the
people, serve France, and, by drawing nations
closer together, consolidate peace. But I only
give you this as an on dit.

The Princess Mathilde, the Emperor's cousin,
has gone on a visit to the Kiug of Wurtemburg, her
uncle.

A report was current, a few days ago, that the
Countess de Chambord, who, according to some
notions, is the wife of the legitimate King of
France, was enciente, but this is denied.

The raising of the dividend of the Bank of
France is naturally the great interest of conversa-
tion in commercial circles, and it is feared will keep
trade in a state of great depression during the
winter. At Paris there is perfect stagnation in
trade, and retailers are only laying in such stocks
as are strictly necessary. From foreign countries
no orders have been received except from the
United States ; from Germany, which is generally
a good customer, none are expected, as its mone•
tary situation just now is deplorable. At Havre,
last week, the business done in cotton was very
brisk : 10,920 bales having been sold, and only 11
imported. An advance of from lf. to 4f., according
to quality, took place.
During the war carricatures of the English at the
theatres were dropped, but at present they are
being renewed. In a piece now performing at the
Gaite theatre, called the " Zouaves," two grotesque
Englishmen (eurbans) are represented as figuring
in the most absurd style in the Siege of Sebastopol
—going everywhere with a company of Zouaves,
though, of course, always coming too late, having
a servant with them carrying a tea tray on which
they make tea in the trenches, arming themselves
with umbrellas to keep off showers of shot and
shell, talking the most extravagant nonsense in the
most monstrous French possible, and with the
most atrocious accent, and perpetrating all manner
of tomfoolery. The people applaud all this stupidity
with delight, and generally believe that it is a bowl
fide picture of Englishmen.

The National Council, and the Council of States
of Switzerland, have unanimously resolved that the
republicans of Neufchatel, in suppressing the
recent Royalist rising, " deserved well of their
country." The Federal authorities are determined,
it appears, to maintain the doctrine that Neufchatel
is a Swiss Canton, and in no respect subject to
Prussia.

The Madrid Gazette, of the 24th, which has
arrived this morning, contains the royal decree
which suspends the sale of ecclesiastical property ;
it is very laconic, and simply orders the suspen-
sion for " high reasons of State exposed by the
Minister of Finance." Contrary to the general
expectation in Spain, it is not preceded by any
explanatory report.

The Belgian papers contain the text of the
Russian circular mentioned in my letter of
yesterday ; but I need not forward it, as you will
receive it from another source before this letter.
It has created some sensation in this city, from the
firm tone in which it is written.

THE LIVERPOOL WAITERS' ASSOCIATION—OUT attention
has been called to a projected society under the above
title. The objects of the association are highly praise-
worthy, namely, the mental and moral improvement Of
the members, by the formation of a library, the establish-
ment of professional registry, and the abolition of the pre-
sent system of meeting in public-houses. The association
contemplates having an office where the members will
meet, and ithe registry of waiters wanting employment,
and parties requiring the temporary or permanent ser-
vices of waiters will be kept. No one who reflects upon
the responsibility of waiters, and the valuable property
they have under their charge, but must hail with delight
the movement in question. According to the old adage,
" God helps those who help themselves," we trust that the
Liverpool Waiters Association will prosper, and, by its
judicious management, command the patronage and sup-
port of the upper and better classes of society.

ing, a woman, named Mary Hanocks, 42 years of age,
the wife of a mason, who resides at 446, Scotland road,
