WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 2, 1857

THE DAY'S NEWS.

In yesterday's impression we announced that
' .1./1.4 supply or too
Rivington Pike Water for doinestic purposes by
the inhabitants of Liverpool. We have now to
announce that the memorial is already in course of
signature, and from the manner in which it has
been received we have every reason to believe that
it will present an array of names unequalled in any
document of the kind which has ever before pro•
ceeded from the inhabitants of Liverpool.
It is always gratifying to us to record the pro
ceedings of every body associated together for the
'purpose of advancing the cause of philanthropy,
Arresting the progress of crime, and endeavouring
to effect a reformation in the character and conduct
of the criminal portion of society. The progress
which the Liverpool Reformatory, whose annual
meeting we have reported at full length, appears
to be rapid and most satisfactory. From the
report read at the meeting, it appears that there is
.now 77 boys on board the school frigate Akbar, li
and from a perusal of the duties performed, and
the instructions received by each boy, we are glad
to see that such an efficient mode of arresting
juvenile delinquency has been adopted. Among
'the more interesting and important of the speeches
delivered at the meeting yesterday, we would refer
to those of the Rev, Rector Campbell Mr. Mans-
field, and Mr. Cropper. They induce a hope that
this important institution will be among the
=oat important for promoting morals and correct-
ing vice Which Liverpool can boast of. The report
of the society is really an interesting document,
,and the entire proceedings well worthy of an
attentive pergsal.
The state of Baron Alderson's health is still
such as to lead to the conviction that he cannot
recover. Already there are various rumours afloat
,as to his successor as one of the Barons of the
Exchequer. The latest on Zit, a contradiction, by
Elie way, of a report circulated at the close
a the week, is that Mr. Stewart Wortley,
the Solicitor General, will get the appointment,
that Mr. Justice Coleri.lge, who had made up his
mind to retire from the Common Pleas, has agreed
to remain for a short time longer ; and that early
41fter Parliament meets, his successor will he
named. In the event of Mr.Wortley's elevation to
the Bench, it is reported that Mr. S ,rgeant Shee
or Mr. Collier, will be the new Solicitor General.
Already there are symptoms of the meeting of
Pat liament. Lord John Russell has arrived in
London, and it is said that Sir James Graham
will reach the metropolis on Saturday. Prior to
the day for the meeting of Parliament, the annual
meeting of the Manchester party is to be held, at
which a deputation from the Ballot Society, Lon-
,don, will be present, when a letter from Mr. Bright
will be read.

According to our London advises, it is said,
upon good authority, that it is the intention of the
Government to grant A lar, the approver, a pardon
on the condition that he shall leave thiscountry,
and it will be void if he returns to England. This
proceeding, it is understood, is not undnaaken on
account of his having given evidence to convict
his companions in the bullion robbery, but it is
owing to the belief, from enquiries that have been
made, and a variety of fasts that have come to the
knowledge of the authorities, that he really was
not guilty of the forgery for which he was convicted
and sentenced to transportation for life, and that
the transaction was a " plant" upon him for the
purpose of getting him out of the way.
Oue intelligence from the Continent this morning
is not of much moment. It is stated in one of our
London morning cotemporaries, that a cessation of
hostilities against Persia, in consequence of the
submission of the shah, really has occurred, which
is of importance, supposing the authority it is
derived from to be good. The intelligence is said
to have been sent by the Turkish minister at
Teheran to his government, and by Lord de
Redcliffe to London, Whether this piece of
information can be relied upon we cannot at pre-
sent. take upon us to say.
'We have a confirmation of the report of the
Russians near Tatar Rariessi, and it is said that the
Circassian chief Ibrahim Bev, son of Sefer Pecha,
:s had two successive encounters with ihe llus-
siAns on the two rivers which traverse the road
from Stavropol to Anapa. The mountaineers are
reported to have inflicted a severe loss on the
