For these r(

give any satisfactory answer to the last of the
questions propounded by the Committee"—

y, when will the Pike water be brought into
the town ? Mr. HAWK 3LEY cannot answer this impor-
tant query. Perhaps the goit has presented' the
same difficulties to his engineering mind, that it
has to equally well-informed men of science. The
general impression is, that the goit will give way
with the first charge of water, and as Mr.
HAWKSLEY has but little faith in oxidised and
fractured pipes, we may not be deluged with
greenish-brown water for some very considerable
length of time. This, certainly, is the most agree-
able fact to be gleaned from the report of the
Council meeting. The Pikeists in the Corporation
may assert what they please, but their water en-
gineer will not guarantee anything. He will bring
us the Rivington filth as soon as he can, and if
he cannot bring it at all, we know our loss will be

THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.

INSURRECTION IN
SWITZERLAND.

An insurrection has taken place in the Canton
of lieufchatel.

The cry of the insurgents was—" Vive Le Rol !'4
The authorities are in the power of the insur-

This rising is nu doubt in favour of the long-
standing claims of the King of Prussia to the
territory of Neufc hatel.

A special despatch, dated Carlshrue, received
since the above was in types informs its that the
Royalists had, by violent means, re-possessed them-
selves of everything the Switzers had deprived
them of.

A fact-of considerable gravity has been commu-
nicated to me from a good quarter—that several
officers of the army have been arrested on suspicion
being concerned in a plot for the restoration of
the Orleans family, but I have not been able to
obtain any details of the affairs

'mit dealers, it appears, bought up all the fruit they
could possibly find ; this made the article very dear,
and a number of women and boys, assisted by some
men, invaded the storehouses in which the fruit
was kept; cast it into the streets, trampled it under
foot) and made a bonfire of the baskets which
contained it. The appearance of the gendarmere
and police put an end the hubbub, but one of the
former was rather roughly handled. Seven or
eight of the rioters were lodged in gaol. The affair,
you see, was of no importance; but it is a disagree-
able symptom of a bad spirit being abroad amongst
the peasantry.

On the Bourse to-day, there has been another
deplorable fall in the railway shares. Compared
with the closing prices of yesterday, the Orleans
have declined 114 f, the Nord 111 f, the Lyons 20f,
the Mediterranean 30f, the Southern 124 f, the
Western 10f1 the Eastern sf, and 741 for the old
and new shares. These are cash prices. The
cause of the fall was the sad manner in which the
settlement in railways has gone off, and the
despair into which that class of security has
(only temporarily, no doubt) fallen. The decline
in the Threes, are 35c for cash, and 10c for account.
We have accounts from Constantinople to the 27th.
They announce that M.de Boutenieff, the new Rus
sian Minister, had been received by the Sultan, and
had visited Fuad Pacha and the Grand Vizier. The
English fleet continued to cruise in the Black Sea.
The Russians had given up the idea of making a
campaign in Circassia. The Persian government
was about to send a minister to London, to make
concessions to England, but subject to the recal of
Mr. Murray. The Minister of War had resigned.

A Marseilles letter says, that the quantity of
wheat received in that port, in August, was
1,100,000 hectolitres. (The hectolitre is 21; bushels.)

THE INDIAN

MAIL.

SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY EVENING

By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw
steamer Ava, Captain Field, with the India, China,
and Mediterranean mails, we have dates from
Alexandria, Aug 21st; Malta, 25th, and Gibraltar,
29th. The Ava brings 88 passengers, among whom
is his Royal Highness Prince Adalbert of Prussia,
from Gibraltar; and a good cargo, consisting of
elephants' teeth, gum, mother-of-pearl, wool, wheat,
&e. On the 29th ult., the Ava was in collision with
the brig Blanche, of Teignmouth, off Tarifa, dam-
aging the rigging of the brig, and carrying away
one of the starboard water-boats of the Ava. The
British transport brig, British Lion, 56 days from
Balaklava, with government stores, for Deptford,
sailed from Gibraltar on the 28th ult. The trans-
ports Tudor, Mauritius, and Thomas Hankey, jun.,
arrived at Gibraltar, from Malta, on the 29th ult.
The British steamer Andes, five days and a half
from Liverpool, arrived the same day. Lieut.
Richard Wilson, of the 2nd York Militia, died at
Gibraltar on the 28th ult.
