THE DAY'S NEWS

The Prime Minister of England, Lord Viscount
Palmerston, has paid his expected, but flying
visit, to Liverpool ; and, although the intimation
of his approach was limited, thousands of our
fellow townsmen congregated at various points to
gain a glimpse of this veteran statesman, and his
amiable Viscountess. To say that the illustrious
strangers were well received is nothing but the
truth, at the same time it was anything but
enthusiastic. We have detailed at length the
proceedings which took place during his lord
ship's stay. From that report it will be
observed that, as in Manchester, addresses
N‘ ere presented, to all of which replies were
delivered, characteristic of the reserve and style
for which the noble Premier is so renowned.
The addresses were commonplace enough, for they
ail studiously avoided allusion to any question
likely to induce his Lordship to enter into debate-
able matter. This was a judicious course, and
contrasted strongly with the conduct of our neigh-
bours of Manchester, who could not avoid venting
a little of their jealousy and spleen, by denouncing
the Liverpool Town Dues ; and, in that denunciation,
adopting a style of language not only objectionable,
but which proved to a demonstration, that its au-
thors are among that class of unfortunate creatures
who disdain and disregard the binding obligations
of the ninth precept of the Decalogue. Truly, it was
the height of inconsistency to hear some of the
Cotton Lords of Manchester lecture before Lord
Palmerston on the advantages of mental and moral
culture, and afterwards to rail against the Town
Dues of Liverpool, libel and vituperate against
their further continuance, and seek to jaundice the
feelings of a nobleman who should govern for the
welfare of the many, regardless of the sneaking de-
signs of theleading spirits of the Manchester district.
When Lord Palmerston takes time to reflect upon
the tone of the addresses of the Corporations of
Manchester and Liverpool, he cannot fail to detect
the arrogant and dictatorial style of the former,
whilst he must admire the gentlemanly forbearance
of the latter, in studiously avoiding to utter one
word which could lead him to think that they
desired him to refer to, or speak upon, any question ,
on which it was the intention of himself and
his Cabinet to propose legislative measures.
Let us hope that, brief though his visit has
been, he has seen enough to convince him
that the Liverpool authorities are not the hungry
cormorants that the leading politicians of Man-
chester have had the effrontery to set forth—that
they enjoy their rights to the Town Dues by a
title as valid and binding in law and equity, as
Cobden, Bright, and Co., do their private estates
ill report of the arrival

Our readers will find a

and progress of Lord Palmerston in another part of

to-day's impression.
We have reported at some length a trial before
Mr. Mansfield and Alderman Holme, in the Police
Court, yesterday, in which the Health Committee
had had instituted proceedings against Messrs.
Cannington, glass bottle manufacturers, in Vaux
hall-road, for smoke nuisance. It appears that the
Health Committee have taken all the pains they
could to induce the defendants to abolish
the nuisance, but in vain They first pleaded,
that the law did not take cognizance of works
such as theirs; and secondly, that there
were no appliances at their command, that would
effect the desired object. The fact of the nuisance
being proved, it was shown that, there was
abundant ways and means to abate the nuisance,
Mr. Cannington conducted his own defence
with great ability, for which Mr. Mansfield com-
plimented him, but the bench came to the decision
of having the information for malconstruction
withdrawn, and inflicting a fine of and costs,
for negligently working the furnaces.
The Persia has arrived. She has made another
rapid passage—nine days and five hours ; and
brings us later news, 183 passengers, and close on
a million And a quarter dollars of specie. Our
Yankee Cousins are in a perfect furor about the
presidential campaign, but the tables appear to
have been turned, for, as will be seen by the excel-
lent letter of our New York Correspondent, Colonel
Fremont's chance of occupying the proud posi-
tion of Chief Magistrate of the United States, is
is now daily decreasing, whilst his rival, Mr.
Buchanan, is constantly increasing in popu-
lar favour. Last week, some of our cotem_
poraries gave great publicity to a smal
,contest between General Walker and his enemies
near Maraya, and routed them The affair was
hardly worth being termed a military skirmish,
and cannot exercise any real influence upon the
contest now raging in that quarter. For details of
_the Persia's news, and _our New York Correspon-
dent's letter we refer to other columns of this
morning's publication.
The Eastern question is just as confused and
as complicated as ever. We are told that we are
not to consider Reschid Pacha's return to power

to France. Nevertheless, it is
announced that orders have been despatched to
M. Thouvenel to require an explanation regarding
the ministerial changes.

The accounts from Naples ar3 of a very unin
teresting nature. An English and a French
eteamer are cruising off the bay, and the officers are
visiting the lions of Naples—a pleasure to which
they are solely indebted to the obstinacy of King
Ferdinand. Who will dare say in future that the
Neapolitan question has been without a result ?
Our last advices inform us that the King entered
his capital on the 30th ultimo, and held a Council
of Ministers. An envoy had left for Rome,
charged with a mission. He was expected to
return to Gaeta on the Bth. It is said the French
and English vessels cruising off Naples are to
remain in observation, and are to be successively
relieved by Attwrs. There was a report of the
intended publication of different decrees relative
administrative matters and-to public works.

THE

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING

The Cotton Market is steady, but not active. There
was a fair attendance of the trade, but no one bought
largely. The sales were estimated at 6.000 bales, at about
previous rates. Respecting the weeks' proceedings, &c ,
we extract the following from the circular prepared and
issued by Messrs. Wright, Junior & Co., for the sailing of
the Niagara to-day :—" At the time of closing our circular
adviees of the 3.ltt ult., per Europa, our cotton market
wore a quiet aspect, and prices were somewhat irregular.
On the following day the Arago's accounts had a depress-
ing influence, which was more manifestly obvious on
receipt of the Niagara's news, on Monday, reporting a
decline in rates and increasing receipts at the southern
shipping ports. For a time these advices not only
checked the speculative enquiry, but induced the trade to
limit their purchases, the sales on Tuesday not exceeding
2.000 hales, 1,000 of which only were American. In view,
however, of the small shipments in progress to this
country, and the space that must necessarily elapse
before arrivals in quantity can augment our diminishing
stock, and the probability of such being reduced to
insignificant figures, holders evinced no disposition
to press sales, and the only change we have
to notice is a curtailed demand, with a slight
yielding in rates by those who, from any cause, are
more anxious to realise. On Wednesday, and
subsequently we have experienced a more general
enquiry; but the trade holding a present supply, evi-
&lice reluctance to embrace large transactions at existing
currency, particularly under the promise of a more liberal
import, though it may be retarded, and with a very
unsettled future aspect to monetary affairs. There is a
fair enquiry to-day, but none buy largely ; the estimated
sales are 6,000 bales, 1,000 to speculators and exporters,
the market closing quietly but steadily at a reduction of
id in fair and ordinary qualities, and 1-16 d on middling
grades, excepting Orleans, which, from their scarcity,
command last week's quotations. The total sales of the
week amount to 29,260 bales, of which 20,460 are American.
Speculators have taken 2,300, and exporters 3,130, leaving
23,830 bales of all kinds to the trade. The import for
same time is 11,296 bales, of which 2,882 are American.
The quantity known to be at sea from American ports is
about 14,000 bales. _ _
