MONDAY, MARCH 2, 1857.

THE DAY'S NEWS•

To-morrow night will witness a scene of gran-
deur, and an array of fashion and beauty, rarely,
if ever, beheld in Liverpool. The Ball in aid of
the charities comes off at lit. George's Hall on that
evening, and no less than 3,000 of the elite of
Liverpool, will assemble in fancy dress. The
mg! ter has created much interest in the town for
some day7_4 past, and, as one of our many corres-
pondents sug67'Est, it would not be amiss to keep
the Hall in the sa;ne state as it will be on the
evening, and then
Tuesday night to the foilwing
hold a plain dress ball at ss. per ticket. To guar-
antee the respectability of the- p:_srsons attending
the ball all that would be required W: .*ald be that
each party should write his or her nan:q and
residence on the back of the admission tickqt•
Two good results would be derived from the adop-
tion of this course. It would afford a large number
of the middle classes an opportunity of seeing the
hall to its best advantage, and would contribute to
the funds of the public charities. We hope the
stewards of the fancy dress ball will take the sug-
gestion into consideration, and in case they act
thereon, at once issue a notification, so that
those who would wish to attend could make their
arrangements accordingly. If properly managed,
the public charities would, in all probability,
receive an additional £5OO from that source alone.
Not long since we had occasion to call attention
to an address from the leading merchants of Liver
pool to Sir John M.Neile and Colonel Tulloch, the
commissioners sent out by Lord Palmerston's
Government to investigate the conduct of military
authorities in the Crimea. At the time, we coin
rnented upon the ingratitude of the Government to
these two meritorious officers, pointed out the
utility of the services which they had performed,
and the delicate and difficult position in which
they were placed when conducting the investigation
,of the complaints which had been made in Par-
liament regarding the treatment of the British
forces !fore Sebastopol It appears, however,
that Lord ralmerston, although more than once
twitted about thig want of consideration to Sir John
M'Neile and Col. Tullod.h, had the generosity to offer
each 1,000/ for their services.
4$ We are glad to perceive
that both have had the manline.!'e to refuse the so-
called reward. This proposal of L'!_ie Premier is
only another instance of the overbearing _`ailuence
which is brought to play upon Court influence .7.'nd
patronage. Young and beardless scions of nobility
are promoted several steps in the service—they are
decorated with several orders of merit and distinc-
tion—and hoary-headed generals have pensions
conferred upon themselves and their children for
doing the very acts which the Crimean Commis-
sioners reprobate. We are glad to perceive that
the subject of Lord Palmerston's insulting offer
to these gentlemen will be brought before the
~-(-Louse of Commons by Mr. Palk, who has inti-
mate that he will do so when the consideration of
the army estimates is brought forward. Thus
an opportunity will be given to the representa-
tives of the people, not only to return them the
thanks of a grateful nation, but to mark in a most
significant and special manner their disapprobation
of a government whose conduct in this instance
has been culpable in the extreme, and entirely
antagonistic to the country at large.
The home news is very scanty this morning.
Two persons have been committed by the
Lancaster Coroner's Jury to the Liverpool assizes,
to stand their trial for the murder of a comrade.
Three men who were injured by the explosion
at the Fog Signal Factory of the Eastern Counties
Railway, have died, and the inquest upon them
has been adjourned to give the Board of Trade
an opportunity to inquire into the catastrophe. The
Central Criminal Court Sessions commences
to day, The most interesting case to be tried is
the charge against James Townshend Saward,
better known as " Barister Saward," or " Jen 3 the
Penman," and James Anderson, of having been
concerned in carrying on a most extraordinary
system of plunder, by means of forgery upon the
bankers of the metropolis, in which case a man
named Hardwick, and another named Atwell, who
are both undor sentence of transportation for
life for forgery (the former of whom ostensibly
appeared to fill the position of a wealthy merchant
at Melbourne, but who has been for many years
known as a most successful bank forger, and who
is said to be possessed of a large amount of
of plunder), are the principal witnesses. It has
property, entirely the produce of a successful course
been arranged that the witnesses against these
prisoners, of whom thefe are sixty-nine, are to go
before the grand jury on Wednesday, by which
time it is expected nearly the whole of the ordi-
nary bills of the session will have been disposed
of, and the trial will commence on Thursday morn-
ning, and will,.in all probability, occupy the court
the remainder of the week. It is expected that
some extraordinary disclosures relating to the
system of plunder that has been pursued by all the
parti& will be made during the trial.
The fofeign news this morning contains several
items of iniserest. There is very little stirring at
,France. Disputes between the
present in
of the Catholic Church seem to
different sections niversal discussion in Paris ;
be the only topic of u
and it would appear thot the Ultramontane pruarty
will be decided against by the Emperor. his
would strengthen the position of the Galican Church
and bestow popularity on the Emperor and on the
new administration of the Archbishop of Paris
The trial of the Dock Napoleon swindlers has
not yet terminated. In the proceedings of
Friday, one of the witnesses deposed that
the commercial restrictions in France render
the existence of docks impossible ; that
