THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.

the crusade against the Press continues. Several
additional journals have been suppressed. A
royal decree had been promulgated, forming a
junta under the Presidency of M. de la Forente
Andres, ex-Minister of Justice, charged to super-
intend the redemption of charges on Ecclesiastical
and other estates.

It has been stated that the Sultan of Turkey is
to have the highest honour which the Sovereign of

these realms can confer upon a foreigner of the
highest rank. He is to be made a Knight of the
Garter. The statement is, that the order is to. be
conveyed to his Highness by Sir Charles Young,
Garter King-of-Arms. This statement has

appeared in the columns of a cotemporary, who

cannot be

regarded as

organ of

the present government, and, therefore, has
not been under, the necessity to maintain
those reserves which might have been
imposed upon others. We will only remark that
the statement, at present, has been unauthorised,
or unquestionably it would appear in other
columns besides those of our cotemporary. It
has. no doubt, excited very great interest. Whilst
such are the rumours regarding his Highness, we
learn, by advices from Constantinople, that there
is a likelihood of there being a change in the

Turkish ministry, caused by differences of opinion
relative to the question of the Isthmus of Suez and
the Principalities. With regard to the former, it is

anticipated that all difficulties will be removed by
the expected visit of the Viceroy to Constantinople.

He would, it is thought, advocate the union of the
Principalities. The English colonels, Giles and
Stewart, late British commissioners with the
Turkish army in Asia, having terminated their
mission, were about to return to Constantinople
by a steamer which had been sent for them to
Trebizond.

There seems to be no hope for Italy
Austrians are busily engaged in fortifying Ancona
and do not look as if they intended to evacuate

any, or all of the Roman States. Piedmont and
Austria are still very surly towards each other,
and ere long, it is feared, hostilities will break out.
The Piedmontese Press is now agitating the
question as to whether France would interfere in
case of hostilities breaking out between Austria and
Piedmont, and rather despondingly points out that
if France did not assist Italy in 1818, while under
the Republican regime, when the troops of Sardinia
were defeated by Radetzky, it is not likely the pre
sent government would go to war on behalf of
the cause of liberty in Italy. There is no doubt
that this is a right view of the case, and it is very
fortunate that it is so. As Lord John Russell
judiciously observed during the last session of
Parliament—and his views have been endorsed
by Massimo d'Azeglio, and other distinguished
Piedmontese statesmen—that any violent mea-
sures would only harm the cause of Italian
independence. It is wrong, however, to suppose
that the Emperor of the French is lukewarm in
the cause of Italy. Like our own Cabinet, he

takes a proper view of the question, and while
lamenting the evils of an Austrian occupation,

is too clear-sighted to compromise the prospect,
slight as it is, of its cessation, by any unconsidered
course. Naples, it appears, has addressed a fresh
note to England and France, explaining the former
one, and endeavouring to do away with the view
that those governments took of the first document,

" at all events (pursues the letter) his Holiness

means their presence can be dispensed with." The
Correspondance Italienne, quoting the letter, calls
attention to the word " dismiss," and suggests that
common gratitude ought to make Cardinal Anto-
nelli and his friends a little more civil. Among
the " means" referred to for dispensing with
foreign aid, the correspondent mentions that
negotiations are pending with the King of Naples
for the loan of a couple of Swiss battalions.

There is nothing of the least importance from

THE breaking down of a state party, is an event
which denotes retrogression. The Tories and
Conservatives have not fallen from the shortness of
Their decease must be attributed to
the want of a definite policy. The State affairs

are no less extensive and important, our commerce
requires the constant vigilance and experience of

the statesman, our money laws incessant obser-
vation and periodical revision, and the growing
claims of capital and wants of labour present a
wide field for the employment of politicians. If
the retiring Tories and their allies declare them-
selves to have no distinctive views—opinions of
State, and Empire—we are justified in saying that
their demise denotes retrogression—that a concur-
rence of events has rendered only one line of
policy practicable. When the conflicting parties
which compose a deliberative body, arrive at such
a conclusion, it is necessary to enquire what that
policy really is. Lord PALMERSTON has told use
that every public measure is a compromise. Here,
then, we may ask, have the Whigs compromised
with State prodigality ? Have the Tories aban-
doned the Colonies ? Have the Whigs bartered
Free Trade? Have the landed interest,

who want 100,000,0001. to improve their estates,

accepted the Bank Charter Act as a " finality ?'
Have the Conservatives admitted that the power of

capital and requirements of industry are not in

direct antagonism to each other?

If the spirit of compromise and good under-
standing has gone so far, all that remains to be
done is, to get the public to place implicit confi-
dence in the Legislature, and to subscribe to the
policy of those in office. But here commences

the difficulty of those in place. Some men read
the Constitution as a great civil and political con-
tract between the Crown and the subject, which
cannot be disregarded or violated without doing

iories and Conservatives may recognise the

expediency of such measures, but we have yet to
learn how the public will view them. Our Colonial

They give little short of fabulous magnitude to our

dominions, and the essence of power to our rule !

and, in return, we give them governors and armies,

and leave them to find, in the desert, all the neces_
saries of life, and all the adjuncts of civilisation. We
alienate them in commerce as far as possible, and they
lay heavy prohibitions on our trade—they give us
gold, and we bestow mints upon them to coin their
surplus treasure, but we will not allow their pound
sterling, stamped with the QUEEN'S head, to circu-
late in this country, or any other colony under the
British Crown, as legal tender—we will not, in
, suffer a Colony to enjoy any one of the rights
of Empire. The meaning of the word Empire does
not appear to be understood in the political schools
of our time.

The equality and identity of rights which give
strength and consistency to a great Power are not
recognised in this sapient age. We merely ask for
a blind and empty allegiance, and call that " Im-
" perial rule." But if we continue to act on this
principle, time must make us weaker before we
are wiser. British trade, to be free, must be re-
lieved of Colonial embargoes ; and our Colonial
Empire, to be prosperous, must be legislated for
as an integral portion of the parent State, and its
produce freed from home imposts. Money and
financial questions may not be very popular at the
Carlton, and no uneasiness may be felt in
Downing-street on those subjects; but the public,
_ . .

nevertheless, do entertain some serious misgivings
both as to their justice as far as taxation is con-
cerned, and their practical effects on trade and

abour

Many persons who were in favour of

bullion as the basis of our currency, have joined the
currency reformers, since they have found that the
rates of discount are regulated according to the
amount of gold held by the Bank of England,
while they are not allowed to know the quantity of
bullion which the other banks hold in reserve.
They find also„ that no explanation has been given
with regard to the Bank of England's bullion opera-
tions between the Ist of January, 1848, and the

Ist of May, 1854. Within this period the Bank

purchased 44,631,960/. of gold, and they sold within
the same dates 10,556,328 i., leaving a balance of
34,075,6321. to the general credit of the country,
which we have never been able to trace in their
weekly returns.

We come now to capital and labour, and what a
field opens itself to those who take a really impar-

tial and comprehensive view of the rights and
interests of both these springs of commercial and
political life. Conventionally capital is called
"money." Politically money is called " capital."
And we can forgive both Tories and Conservatives
for compromising that which they have never been
able to understand. But let money be termed what it
may, few will pretend to tell us that, commercial
accommodation is worth 8 and 10 per cent. under
any circumstances, much less in the height of a
panic, when trade is depressed to the lowest
degree, and when merchants are compelled to
sacrifice their stocks to meet their current or daily

VIOLENT ASSAULT BY AN OLD MAN.—Yesterday, before

AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION. The noble ship Acadia,
despatched by Mr. Edward Thompson, cleared yesterday
for Melbourne, having the very large cargo of 2,100 tons
on board, also• 280 steerage, and a full compliment of cabin
passengers. This is the largest ship, we believe, that has
ever been despatched by any other than the Mail Lines to
Australia. The ventilation and accommodation are of the
most unexceptionable description, and we hope to hear of
her making a quick passage out, and delivering her valuable
freight and passengers in a manner creditable both to the
owners, Messrs. David Grainger and Sons, and to the
" Mersey Line."
Wiro is RIGHT ?—A few days since; we recorded a fact—
that police constable, 707,was found iu a public-house at an
early hour in the morning, contrary to the rules and regu-
lations of the police force, (evidently formed by the watch
committee), which states that no constable is to enter a
public-house, when on duty, by himself. This constable
707, was clearly proved to have been in the public house;
and that, when a dispute arose between the land la
ceman and a
female customer about three-halfpence, the po left
the house, took part in the dispute, and then—what ? took
the female into custody, had her locked up all night, and
charged her with being drank and disorderly. Mr. Mans.
field, who heard the case, ordered the woman to be instantly
discharged, observing that the woman had no right to have
been locked up. Ile did more than that ; he said it was
one of the most tyrannical and abominable procedures on
the part of the police, and instantly suspended police con-
stable 707. Since then, the watch committee have had the
case brought under their consideration, the result of which
is, that police constable, 707, for his the worthy magis-
trate stated—" abominable and tyrannical conduct"—has
been re-ineated, as we are informed. Who is right—the
worthy magistrate, who hears evidence on oath, or the watch
committee, who only hears exparte statements ? We pause
for a reply.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING

There has been a somewhat subdued tone in
business matters during the week. Foreign and
colonial produce has been taken to a moderate
extent, but, in some instances, buyers have had
the advantage in price. The dull flat feeling by
which the market has for so long a period been
characterised gave place at the close of last week,
under the influence of the fine weather then
indicated, and which has since been happily
realised, to an animated demand and a general
manifestation of confidence. Still, though the
sales have since been daily large, no material ad-
vance in prices has yet been effected, the
large stock on hand—at least as compared with
that of last year—pre-disposing holders to
meet the enquiry freely. The only change
which can be noticed in prices consequently is an
advance of about 1-16 d per lb, in American
descriptions at and below 61-,d per lb. Surats also
must be considered rather dearer, but not quotably
so. Other descriptions are in all respects without
change from Friday last. The sales of the week
amount to 84,410 bales, 60,560 of which have been
taken by the trade, 14,650 for speculation, and
9,200 for export, The sales to-day are estimated at
8,000 bales, 2,000 being for speculation and export.
The Committee's quotations to-day for far Cotton
are as follows, viz :—Bowed Cld, Mobile 68d, and

Orleans 71 ,1 per lb. Printed advises fi oin Nev,
Orleans, dated August 16, contain the following
remarks. We should, however, state, that the ideas
broached are those of the writer, and that we do
not feel disposed to endorse all his conclusions
therein :
I have now only to say that all my expectations regarding
cotton are realised. Notwithstanding it is over one month
since the first bale of new crop was received, we have only
received up to this morning, in all, thirty-two bales—the
crop is very backward, and up to this moment there is no
prospect of four thousand bales being received for the next
thirty days. In fact, on Sunday last, one of the most serious
storms of wind and rain commenced that ever perhaps
passed over I ouisianna. Its ravages over the south-western
part of the State have resulted in the loss of cane, beating
down the cotton, with the greatest loss of life ever known
in this section of the country. For full particulars I refer
you to the public prints which you will receive with this.
The accounts from the coast, from Bayon Sarah to Vicks-
burg, are, that the cotton is seriously and irretrievably
injured. Some estimates are made of a loss of one fourth.
From the countries back of the river, or rather the interior
countries, no intelligence has been received. The most
injury has been done to the belt of land lying between the
Mississippi and Red Rivers, of which we shall not have full
details for some days. The storm commenced on the night
of Saturday, the 9th, continued on Sunday, the 10th,
Monday, the 11th, and Tuesday, the 12th. The 13th and
14th it partially suspended, but attended with heavy showers
of rain at intervals, until yesterday, the 15th. At this time
it does not indicate that the weather is settled—clouds look
murky and watery. In fact, we have not had such a time
since August, 1812, and July, 1819. Ten bales of the new
crop, classing good middling, consigned to J. C.
Reeds, was sold yesterday, at 121 c, for a northern factory.
I think there will be but few bales shipped for Liverpool
before the end of next month. There has only been one vessel
cleared with cotton for Liverpool—the Emigrant, British
barque—since the Ist inst. She had 1,678 bales. The only
vessel now loading with cotton for Liverpool is the Olseinthe ;
so I think, by the time this reaches you, there will be but
little cotton at sea for European ports ; and parties in
Liverpool can, with the greatest safety, hold for the present.
You will perceive, by the papers sent you, how the receipts
stand ; and we cannot, as before remarked, expect any
increase before the middle of next month ; and if the weather
does not hold up before long, estimates will be further
reduced.
Another letter from the same city, says :
" Since my last, per Asia, we have had several
flooding rains in the city, and have received
accounts of most disastrous damage in all our
sugar and cotton region as high as Vicksburg.
Some persons estimate that the crop of cotton
will be shortened, by these recent storms alone,
fully 500,000 bales. Mr. Hay told me, last evening,
that previously the crop in the Red River country
was already looked upon as going to be a poor

one."
The Liverpool Share Market wore an improved
aspect to-day, and although the business done
was trifling, yet on the whole it has been rather
more buoyant than for some days back. The day's
transactions were :—Blackburn, 8 ; Eastern Coun-
ties, 9 5-16 91 ; Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee,
04; Great Western, 6-11-, ; Lancashire and
Yorkshire Stock, 971, 4, A.3„4; Liverpool, Crosby,

Rhenish, 2 3-16 p. ; Great Western of Canada, new,
2 3.16 p.; Liverpool and London Fire and Life,
61p ; Exchange Buildings, 251. The closing prices
were as follows :—Aberdeen, 132 131. Chester and

New Shares, 2 3-16 2 5-16 p. Great Luxembourg,

Mr. F. J. Eaton's circular contains the following
respecting the Tallow trade :
The sales here are about 500 casks P. Y. C., at 52s 6d
to 54s per cwt, chiefly at the lower rate ; in sorts nothing
worth reporting. 120 pipes South American horse grease
sold at 39s to 40s per cwt. Owing to the accounts from
St. Petersburg of large shipments being in progress, the
London market has been very heavy, and lower prices have
been accepted, both for immediate and forward delivery;
on Wednesday the market opened flatly with free sellers
at 49s for the last three months, and 503 6d per cwt spot,
since which a reaction has taken place and the closing
prices last night were 52s 6d per cwt spot, and 49s 61 per '
cwt buyers, for October, December. The supply of Russian
Tallow for this season, is now estimated at 104,000 casks,
against 106,000 in 1853, and 82,700 in 1852. The half
week delivery is 1,500 casks, against 1,596 casks last year,
and the stock on the Ist instant was 8,450 casks, against
35,568 casks in 1855.
There was rather more doing in the Manchester
Stock Exchange. The rieslings reported comprised
Midlands, 801; Sheffields, 331; Dovers, 228.
There is not any material change in the state of
the Money Market. It is said that the state
of the Royal British Bank is extremely dis-
couraging. The amount sunk in the Cefn Iron
and Coal Works exceeds 100,0001; the original
loss having been 25,0001., advances having been
made by former directors, and to the late
manager, which will probably involve deficiencies
of more than 50,0001; and bills of Mr. Edw. Oliver,
of Liverpool, and bonds of the Westminster
Improvement Commission, are still among the
assets. If this be the case already, more than the
whole of the paid-up capital will be seen to have
been swept away without reckoning future law
expenses, or such ordinary losses as invariably
occur in the winding up of an estate. The cash
credits are stated to be limited to about
150,0001, instead of 250,0001. The best assets
are, doubtless, disposed of to meet the
recent, as it is believed, that more than
200,0001 was paid away during its continuance,
thus reducing the liabilities of the Bank from
810,000/ to about 600,000/.
There was a better feeling in the Public Securi-
ties to-day. Consols were dealt in at 941 to 95
for the Account, and 947; 95 941 95 for Money.
The New Three per Cents. were sold at 95,1
The closing prices were 944 to 951f0r Money and
Account, and 951 to 951 for the New Three per

Cents.
The London Share Market was rather better,
the closing prices were as follows :—Caledonian,
52 523. Eastern Counties, 9 91. East Lancashire,
81 82. Great Northern, 953 90. Ditto A., 85 86.
Great Western, 643 641. Lancashire and York-
shire, 973 on. London and North Western, 1031
1031 Manchester. Sheffield, and Lincolnshire,
324 34. Midland Stock, 804 80,1. North British,
401 41i. York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 80 81.
York and North Midland, 57 58.
We are glad to observe that the weather con-
tinues " fine," and that our telegraphic reports
state that this is general throughout the country.
This has produced a very decided reaction in the
Corn Markets throughout the United Kingdom
during the past week. Here the decline in Wheats
amount to about 3d per 70Ibs. on the finer deserip-
tions, and 6d on inferior qualities ; the latter,
however, have been almost unsaleable. Vlour has
experienced a fair enquiry, and has not given way

more than is per barrel and sack. Indian Corn
has also gone back a little, and, with only a very
small demand, all descriptions must be noted is
per quarter lower than on Friday last. Oats and
Oatmeal are each the turn lower. Egyptian Beans
have improved 6d to is per quarter, with a fair
enquiry thereat.
According to a letter which we have had from
the United States, we glean the following par-
ticulars respecting the prospects of the Tobacco
Crop in the United States :
The prospe3t for th,:, growing crop is indeed a gloomy
one. There has been a very general scarcity of plants,
the spring remarkably late, and the seasons very light
and partial to neighbourhoods. We did not set a plant
here until the 17th of June, and but one or two light
seasons since, and it is almost impossible to make the
replants stand, owing to the hot, dry sun. I have con-
versed with persons from Robertson, Logan, and Chris-
tian counties, all giving the same accounts, that the stand
is late and bad. Although much allowance should be
made for exaggeration by the planters, I can but agree
with them that the crop will be short. I have made pretty
general enquiry from different sections, and find that it is
making but little or no show on the ground. They will
necessarily have to 1 top very low to make it come
in in time. I think the market will open very high here
next fall, and to give you an idea of the way the planters
talk, and of their expectations, I heard a very intelligent
gentlemen from Christian county, remark a few days ago
seriously,ithat he thought tobacco would bring twenty-five
cents per pound next fall. Others say there cannot be
more than half a crop, &c. But there is one thing I'm
pretty certain of, that their vic .vs and expectations will
he so high next fall, and a little goaded by being caught,
as they say, last far, ri.h low prices, that it will be
difficult for the stemmers to make purchases at anything
like safe figures, and I think they will have to lay back
on their oars awhile.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING•
The only important piece of news to-day is the
following, of which the telegraph will have already
informed you:—
" On the night of the 2nd a regular revolution
broke out in the Canton of Neufchatel. The
royalists possessed themselves at two o'clock
at
night of the fort. The members of the Council
of State have been arrested. The royalists have
displayed the Prussian flag—they have cut off tho
telegraph communication with Neuenbury. f-t
Chaux de Fonds and in the mountain everybody is
under arms."
The above is published in the Nouvelliste of

Bale.
Rumours of risings, both in the city and king-
dom of Naples, have again been current ; but, If
they were well founded, we should have assuredly
had telegraphic despatches about them, and none
have arrived. On the contrary, we learn by tele-
graph, from Vienna, that one of the principal
papers of that city announces that the Neapolitan
Government has addressed a new note to England
and France, calculated to deprecate the bad effect
produced by its first one, and that the French
Minister at Naples has, for his part, expressed
himself satisfied with it.
St. Petersburg despatches announce the ib-
a new series of paper money, to the amount of
about 29,000,000 silver roubles.
A Madrid despatch announces the long expected
dissolution of the Cortes.
Agents of the Danubian Principalities are her°
