THE RIVINGTON WATER.
MITE following MEMORIAL "tow lies for
SIGN Al URE at the Journal, Courier, and Northern
Times Newspaper Officeq, and various other places through-
out the town :
TO THE MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL OF
LIVERPOOL.
The memorial of the undersigned inhabitants of Liverpool,
and Neighbourhood,
Respectfully sheweth,—Tbat your memorialists desire to
call your earnest attention to the subject of the supply of
water to this town and neighbourhood, and, whilst dis-
claiming any intention to re-open the policy which die-
ta'ed recourse to the Rivington district for a supply—the
expense having been incurred—are most anxious to retain
the advantages of the home supply, as well as to enjoy
that from Rivington.
Your memorialists have always regarded the water of
their local springs as indispensable to their health and
comfort; it has been highly valued for table uses; is a
most delicious beverage, and has been proved, by long
experience, unsurpassed in wholesomeness. - Your memo
rialists suggest that the supply from Rivington should be
reserved for extinguishing fires, and for sanitary and
manufacturing purposes.
Your memorialists further consider the option of having
either or both the waters brought by seperate pipes into
their premises, as highly desirable ; and your memorialists
therefore earnestly request that immediate measures may
be adopted, at any reasonable cost, to afford to them the
benefit of a distinct supply of each of the waters at your
command.
And your memorialists will ever pray. '

THE DAY'S NEWS.

There is not any local news of importance this
morning. The signatures to the Pike memorial
to the Mayor and Town Council go forward satis_
factorily, and on Wednesday there will be an array
of names appended to the document, which will
Astonish our civic authorities, not only as regards
fl)e number, but the character and standing of the
memorialists.
I he speech of Mr. Milner Gibson at Manchester,
pri Thursday, and which we published in yester-
.d ay's NOIITIIERN TIMES, has been the subject ofmuch
comment, not only in political, hut commercial,
circles here. That which has called forth the greatest
Amount of attention, is the observations of the
right hon. gentleman respecting the Liverpool Town
Dues. These remarks clearly show the design 3 of
Manchester, and should evoke on the part of the
people of Liverpool a spirit of determined opposi
tion to their scheme of spoliation which has been
hatched by the leaders of the Free Trade party in
the ' juvenile city". The right hon. gentleman deals
largely in assertion, and as hastily
,juMps at con-
clusions respecting the right of the Crown to grant
certain powers and privileges to the Corporation of
Liverpool. As to his special pleading" about the
way in which the Liverpool Town Dues are applied,
a simple schoolboy would discover that h e was
arguing, not from a thorough conviction, but for
the mere sake of disputation. We deny the pre-
mises of the right hon. gentleman. Already we
nave demonstrated that, the people of Liverpool
have as much right to the " Town Dues" as
the greatest peer or the most exalted com-
moner to the income which either derives from
their interest in the green acres of the soil.
'emarks about the right of Charles I to confer
to levy such tolls as the Town Dues are
H
power
mere sophistr and
e.:l„,we take the liberty of telling
him that when he
vances them in the House of
Commons he will find a very ready answer thereto
Once again we say to the pecnle of Liverpool, be
up and doing. The enemy has proclaimed war
against your just rights and privileges. Bury for
a time your petty jealousies and minor differences;
unite as one man, and resist the arrogant aggres
sions of a voracious and ambitious opponent.
The domestic topics of the day are not of impor
tance. Mr. Thomas Chambers has been elected to
the. Office of Common Sergeant of the City of
London. The Mercantile Law Conference con.
tinues it sittings, and there his been another
metropolitan demonstration in favour of the Maine
Liquor Law. We are sorry to observe that the
prevalence of fie .sty weather has thrown a still
greater number of persons engaged in the building
trade out of employ, and a large body of unemployed
artisans paraded the streets of London on Thurs
day, to demonstrate their existence, conducting
themselves with order and decorum. The state-
ment respecting the frauds committed by Robson
on the Crystal Palace Company, will be read with a
great deal of interest, showing, as it does, what
profound ingenuity and minute talent the forger
must have exercised to carry on his depredations.
We observe that an investigation has taken place
into the loss of the ill-fated steamer Tyne, from
which it appears that the calamity occurred in
consequence of the captain not having made due
allowance for the strong ebb tide running, from
the time the ship passed Portland.
Our adviees by the Overland Mail inform us
that lithe Dutch barque Mereurius, of 439 tons,
bound from Amoy to Singapore, was lost on the
north coast of Bintang, and 100 Chinese passen
gers perished, as also the third mate. The
captain, in a letter dated Rhio, the 10th Dec.,
notices that the weather was. very thick; the vessel
was driven on shore, having parted from two
anchors. There was in all about 250 Chinese
passengers on board.
The advises from Paris inform us that Verger,

the assassin, is to suffer the extreme penalty" of
the law, unless the clemency of the Emperor
shall save him from his ignominious fate.
The Court of Cessation had heard his appeal
and rejected it. Late and authentic accounts
from the Two Sicilies, state that the condition of
that kingdoM is truly alarming. The prisons in
Naples are so full, that no more people can be
crammed into them. The news from Sicily is
most distressing. At Catania all the shops are
shut, and only the military and police are to be
seen in the streeets. At Messina, on the 21st and
22nd, several prisoners were embarked in chains,
to be taken for safe custody to a rocky island
in the neighbourhood. A general insurrection
was apprehended.
A letter from Berne informs us that a telegra-
phic despatch had been received by the Federal
