LIVERPOOL CONSERVATIVE 'DAILY PAPER.
THE " NOR.TILERN TIMES."
well-established Daily Paper,—the first that
was attempted in the. Provinces,—is now, under a new
;proprietary, devoted to the interests of the great Conservative
party; -Its principles are those so forcibly expressed by the
Earl of Derby, at the recent Liverpool• Banquet, when he said,
—" I speak of that Conservatism which is not obstructive, but
which is the best prcinioter of safe and gradual social improve-
ment,—of that Conservatism which, strenuously adhering to
the old machinery of the Constitution, adapts from time to time
the various parts of its meehani;n to the real requirements and
the real capacities of the age in which we live,—of that Con-
-servatism which should give to all orders and degrees of men
within. this realm their due weight, authority, a:•id preponder-.
-ance,of that Conservatism which loves the interest-S of the
people at large but will not be led away by the noisy denuncia-
tions of blustering deautgogues, either to shrink at the voice
of menace, or timidly to make concessions to large bodies of
men for the purpose of obtaining a temporary popularity, when
in our hearts we believe the concession of those coveted boons
would be the worst injury we could iafiii•t upon the classes it
is sought to benefit." Suck is the Conservatism of which the
Northern Times is now the faithful and unflinching advocate:
and never, perhaps, was nere a moment when a temperate_
and judicious application of the Daily- Press to the espousal f f
its cause, and the dissemination of its principles, was capable
of serving more beneficial purposes.
Hitherto, the Daily Papers of Liverpool have, one and all,
.been whisively in the so-called Liberal, that is, the Whig and.
Radical, interest. The Conservative cause .has now got its
representative, and its advocate, in the local Daily Press.

It rests with the Conservative party of. Liverpool to decide
With what efficiency this their Daily organ of the Press shall
be maintained. Its success has so far been considerable,—
the circulation already secured is large and increasing ; it is
about three times more than it was whe3 it came into its pre-
senthands,--and if all who are Conseiatives will only 'sup-
port it with' their advertisements, and use their active influence
to mate it a profitable advertising medium, its prosperity, and
th.:_,refore its influence, will soon be ,pow erfally strungtheued
and confirmed.

- The late Darby Banquet cannot but have aroused-the Con-
servattvea:cf Liverpool to a more,activp course of public duty;
_and the_OlAigation, in times like the Present, to sustain a Daily
Paper in their import:lli interest, cannot fill ,to be ackuow-
lAged, and ought therefore to be acted upon.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-YESTERDAY.

The Rev. W. J. Hatch, lately chaplain of the
Wandsworth Houseof Correction, was indicted
for a series of indecent assaults upon two chilaSen
aged respectively
twelve and eight years. *The
children had been placed at a school kept by Mr.
and Mrs. Hatch at. Wandsworth. The evidene3
went to show that tie very day they entered, the
'assaults commenced.—The jury returned a verdict-,
of guilty,—and Baron Bramwell sentenced the
prisoner to two years' imprisonment; with hard
labour, for each Ofibace, the second two years to com-
mence at the expiration of the first. • The prisoner
protested.that the children had told abominable
falsehoods, and said he knew that the time would.
conic when God would prove his innocence.

Cornhill, con-
Mr. Jacob French, watchmaker,
victed, on Wednesday; of an assault on a female in
a railway carriage, was, yesterday, sentenced to a
month's imprisonment in Newgate.

FOREIGN INVESTMENTS IN THE

UNITED STATES.

A writer, says the (2iAec Ga zeite of the }Bth Nov.,
who has had access to the books of the Sub-Trmury in
this city, where the interest on about seven-eighths of
the public debt of the United States is.paia, says
_ _

These books arc a curious study. Many of the names
they contain are household words. Some are- the names
of Europeans; others of West Indians, and even
Asiatics. barely a third of the public debt is held in
this country. The bulk of it, we imagine; iK held in
Continental Europe.

The heaviest foreign creditor we noticed isLorcl Over-
-stone (the famous John Lloyd), who has lent this
country no less than S350;000. A Spanish lady, Merced
de La4ca, is our creditor to the tune of $20.0M0, and
a noble friend of hers, the Count Casa,. Month:is-0y
Castillo, draws six per cent. on $lOO,OOO. Several per-
sons connected with the royal families of:Europe are
creditors of ours. The. brother of the-King of Naples
took $50,000 some years ago, and instructed his
agent to invest the &vidends as they accrued, in the
same security. He now owns aver $75,000. His
niece, the daughter of Bonita, is registere& as a creditor
for over $50,000. These wise people have-been looking
out for a rainy day. Another noble personage, the late
Duchess of Orleans, has enough in the United States
sixes to save the Count of Piris from being compelled
to follow his grandfather's example and keep
.school.
Several of the'Saxe-Coburg Gothas /lave also invested
in the same coisatry. •
The Count Rossi saw enough of this country while 'he
was here to invest a few thousands in the famous name
of Sontag ; and little Paul, Julien has a trifle—enough
to keep bins when his violin faits. One can readily
account for the appearance of the name of the Rohs
childs- both of London and Paris; but it is curious
that the famous puhisher, Pauchotte, of Paris,,
is a creditor of the United States ; and that the
dramatic author, Scribe, has also invested enough to
give him nearly 10,000 francs a year. A careful st-idy
of the democracy in America appears to have persuaded
Monsieur Tocqueville to lodge some of his savings ib the
hands of our Government; and Lord Macaulay, who
began with a bagatelle of some $5,000, has since increased
his venture to nearly $30,000-
But we shall never end if we attempt to enumerate all
the people who have money placed in the Visited States
securities: Here are Lord Dundonald, the great sailor,
who has a large sum for a sou of Neptune, the Prince
do Beauveau, the Count de Narbonne, the Marquis of
Champagne, Baring Brothers, Count de Beaumont,
General Berrreloff, and a host" of titled people; who,
perhaps, depend upon the honesty and solvency of tho
United States government for a living,

Lord Elgin saw enough of us to leave $17,000 of his
savings in our six per cents. Land the famous Bussian
Alexanlre Hcrzeu has- a bagatelle of $30,000 in the
same security. There is another creditor whose name
is a curiosity. It runs thus :--Baron Louis 'puma
Epamimondas Justidian Aristides Decius Salis Heiden-
stein Lichenstein Gortensfein. Fancy a man with such
a name drawing twenty-six dollars,and fifty cents from
the United Slates. , „
