TO TII EDITOR Or THE NORTHERN TIMES.

Water-lane, Tower-street, London,
December 16th, 1857.
Sir,—.' Take care of the notes, and the gold will
take care of itself," is the motto of the Bank Charter
Act of 1844. Take care of the gold, and the notes
will take care of themselves, must be the motto of
the amended one ; for, granted, that gold in the
shape of the pound sterling, is intrinsically the
best standard of value—and that notes whiJh pro-
mise to pay these pounds sterling, from £5, and
upwards, to the bearer, on demand, furnish our
Government with the most convenient form of
legal tender, in which, to defray the public expen-
diture—it surely follows, from these premises, that
our Government are bound to keep in deposit
at the Bank of England, in London, Liverpool,
and elsewhere, a minimum reserve of gold coin
and bullion, so as to prevent their legal tender
notes from suffering any depreciation, by reason of
the lessening of the metallic reserve on which they
are founded. Now, this depreciation cannot be
prevented, nor this reserve maintained, say, at a
minimum of ten million pounds, unless our Govern-
ment are prepared to give more for gold than the
price fixed for it in these our present description
of legal tender notes.
The public must allow their Government to
issue, in exchange for gold, legal tender notes of
another description, but of the same current values
and denominations as our present ones, in short
notes, made payable in pounds sterling, not to the
bearer, but to the public exchequer, on demand.
In this way alone can gold bo purchased at its
market price, and the required reserve of it reli-
giously maintained. T. F.

PLEA FOR AN EXTRA HOLIDAY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES.
Sir,—May I beg leave to suggest, to the mer-
chants &c., of Liverpool, through the medium of
your valuable paper, that, as trade generally is very
slack, they might take the opportunity of letting
their employees enjoy Saturday the 26th December,
as a holiday, as well as Christmas day, thus en-
abling them to visit any of their friends who may
he living at a distance. Hoping this will meet the
favourable consideration of the merchants, shop-
keepers, &c,, ,of this town.—l remain, yours, &c.

BANKRUPTCY COURT.-YESTERDAY.

BEFORE MR. COMMIS3IONER STEVENSON.

In re DANIEL Durrox.—This was the certificate meet-
ing. Mr. Evans appeared for the assignees, and examined
the bankrupt as to the cause of his insolvency, which the
bankrupt attributed to continuous losses on a vessel pur-
chased by him some twelve months before his bankruptcy
The Commissioner reserved judgment until Saturday.
In re T. R. HYDE.—The bankrupt was a clothier, in
Chester. This was the last examination meeting. Mr.
\Veson appeared for the assignees. The balance-sheet not
having been filed in due time, the examination was
adjourned to the 24th instant.

In re WOOD AND TARRANT.—The bankrupts, cotton-
brokers, of Liverpool, came up on their last examination.
Mr. C. Pemberton, on their behalf, asked for an adjourn-
ment for three weeks, to enable them to file their accounts.
Mr. Squarey, for the assignees, objected, on the ground
that the bankrupts had had already sufficient time to do so.
Eventually His Honour adjourned the sitting to the Bth of
January.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO MR. WIDDICOMII —On Tuesday,
night, shortly before the conclusion of the performances
at the Surrey Theatre, the audience was somewhat alarmed
in consequence of the following accident to Mr. Widdi-
comb, the well-known and popular comedian at this place
of public entertainment, whilst the company were enacting
the farce called " Wellington Tiggs," and whilst the
audience were screaming with laughter, their mirth was
suddenly stopped. Mr. Widdicomb, who took the part of
the hero of the piece, was concealed behind a screen, and
one part of his perfo-mance is to throw down the screen
whea ha is attacked by Miss E. Webster, who is dressed
as an officer. Erafortunately just as Mr. Widdicomb had
laid hold of the corner of the screen to throw it down,
Miss Webster, by some mistake, instead of striking the
screen with the sword, struck the hand of the hero of the
farce with such violence as to cut through the nail of the
middle finger, laying it bare to the bone. Excessive
hemorrhage followed, and Mr. Widdicomb becoming ex-
ceedingly faint, he found itimpossibe to proceed farther
the performance, and the audience were informed of
that fact. A surgeon was at once sent for, who dressed
the wound, and after some time Mr. Widdicomb was en-
abled to go home with his haialins,sling.

THE ARCHITECTURAL SOCIETY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES.
Sir,—Allow me to request you to correct a
clerical error in your otherwise excellent report of
the meeting on Wednesday last. The numbers
voting were, eighteen in favour of Mr. Horner's
amendment, and twelve against, giving a majority
of six in its favour—your report makes it appear
that there were only six to vote against it.
Your readers should understand that the
original motion was rejected on a purely
technical ground, and that no one present ventured
to utter one word in defence of the Academy ; nor
is this to be wondered at, when we see the Ac-
ademy is quite unable to defend itself.—Yours, &c.

SHAMPOOING ON A NEW AND ORIGINAL PRINCIPLE.
THE American System of SHAMPOOING,
for effectually cleaning the hair, by rem,ving the
Belo', and preventing the hair from falling off, is now in daily
°Pent;lon at

CLlssoLD's HAIR-DRESSING ESTABLISHMENT,

7, ELLIOT-STREET, near ST. JOHN'S MARKET.
The peculiar feature of this new and original principle is the intro-
titetion cf hydrauiie power to the head after the operation of the
4harnpnoing, by wlfch the head is rendered deliciously cool, the
hair stimulated, and its he,lthy action promoted.

LESBIA AND NORAH.

The song of the shepherd was heard thro' the vale,
And the willow was hearkening the rivulet's tale;
The red s in had sunk, save a hem of his glory,
And the far away hills in the twilight were hoary,
And Nature seemed wedded to Summer; the ring
Was the streamlet gold-eurfaced; the bird on the wing
Was the melody breathed, and the sweetest of palters
That e'er sang of joyousness sealed at the altars.
Lesbia, the lovely, was then in the grove
With Norah, whose heart was impregnate with love ;
When Lcsbia said playfully, " Come let me tell,
With this buttercup, whether you like Butter well."
The Bodleian lore may trea" of this fiction
Regarding the buttercup, bu. the restriction
Of custom says,' On with the story you're telling,
The art or relating is weariness quelling."
Fair Norah, whose eyes ware like violets so blue,
With a neck that the snow cannot fully outdo;
With a wit of expression no pencil can trace,
Bade Lesbia proceed with her buttercup cam.
I esbia had lips like the " roses of Gul,"
With kisses upon them that craved you to cull;
And the dimple that lurked in her dearest of chins
Sugeested " Faint heart stvh a beauty ne'er wins."
So Lesbia applied the fair-yellow leafed test.
Ard exclaime.i, " Qf all things you like Butter the beat."
Said Norah, " I live, 'mid the cows, where yon del is,
Their milk is ambrosia—their Butter is KELLY'S,"

happened at the end of the tunnel near the Huddersfield
Station, on the London and North Western Railway, to a
man named John I'ollett, a widower, aged forty-five years.
Pollett was pnintsman at the Gledholt coal sidings, and
having turned the points for a coal train to leave the
siding, he followed the train, and attempted to get on the
engine. In doing this his foot slipped, he fell on the line,
and the wheels of the tender went over his right arm and
right leg. He was conveyed to the Huddersfield Infirmary,
where both his arm and his lag were amputated. Pollett

BEFORT4 MESSRS. CROSTHWAITF, AND ItOMILLY.

Faacas.---Jonas Cohen, the son- in-law of Mr.
Lazarus, and manager of his house of business in
Paradise-street, summoned Henry Aaron for having
threatened him, and for using abasive language, Mr.
Cobb was for the defendant. Complainant was
standing at his shop door, when the defendant
came up and gave him a polite invitation to box him.
This being refused, he abused him very much, and wound
up a string of epithets such as no disciple of Chesterfield
would tolerate, by telling him to "send his old father into
the back office whilst he (complainant) would be engaged
in the operation of robbing the till." This and a variety
of like language and abuse formed the foundation of the
complaint. Mr. Cobb caused some fun in cross-examina-
tion, and got out a trifle of revelations about £l7 10:. and
a law suit and the Insolvent Court, and divers other matters,
not, however, at all affecting the complainant in any way.
Some witnesses were examined, when the Bench ordered
the defendant to pay a fine of £1 and costs, which ha did
and left the court exclaiming loudly against what he
called the dish•siz-shon of the court, which he repudiated
altogether as tut-English.

*THE COAL TRADE.

The following is a copy of a letter received by Messrs. John Hall
and Co of NeweasCe, on Monday, from their Constantinople cor-
respondent;—

Constautinople, 2nd Dec., 1857..—Dear Sirs,—Since we last wrote
you on the 26th Wt., we have had a.great many arrivals—as many as
30 cargoes of coal; but, notwithstanding this large importation,
prices have kept up better than we anticipated, and we have heard of
no sales under 325. This is attributable to the fact of most of the
cargoes new in having been previously disposed of; and: now that
prices hays kept up so well, and' such a large quantity of wheat was
known to be on the way to come forward, the inference is that we
are not likely to see this winter such low prices as we had led you to
expect—probably the range m,y be from 32s to 30s for some months
to.come. At Odessa, freights are at a complete standstill, and no
transactions—the vesse s unchartered in port offering at 455, but
without finding charterers.,—Northern Daily Express.

The voluntary rate committee have taker. into'coosideration the
resolution which was passed at the last General Vestry meeting,
recommending that the balaucs then in hand be paid to nr. Collins
and Messrs. Atkins, Hobbs. and Liversidge. At the same meeting
the voluntary rate committee reported that " of the important duties
which were assigned to them that which had absorbed by far the
greatest share of their time and attenton had been the investigation
of the claims which ware made upon the voluntary fund by the
gentlemen named; and that investigation which had been beset
with almost inextricable difficulty in tie absence of proper explana-
tion as to the greater portion of the amount claimed, had at length
resulted in the payment of the claimants of the sum of £256, in
return for which they had given their written declaration that they
had received the same in full satisfaction of their demands, and
would not re-agitate the question in any quarter," the following
being a copy of such declaration, viz.

THE IRON TRADE OF BIRMINGHAM.

There has been no change whatever in the state of the iron trade of
the district since our last report ; in every branch.of the trade there
is complete stagnation ;, the contemplated rest rictton.of operations to
which reference was made a week or two since, is being carried out
in all directions ; the number of mills and forges working short time
is increasing, and a very, few orders are coming in ;, a further move
in the same direction is inevitable before the end of the year. Stocks
of pig iron are accumulating, and when sales taka place it is at very
low prices. The number of furnaces out of blast since quarter-day is
about thirty-seven. The notices of reductions to some of the work-
men expire on Saturday ; atd some anxiety is. felt as regards the
peace of the district. In. onsequence of the number of workpeople,
out of employment in the neighbourhood of Wolverhampton, many,
robberies have taken place; and a requisition 'bathe Mayor has been.
signed by all the influential inhabitants, requesting his Worship "to.
take efficient steps to prevent future depredations." The numerous
failures reported,, are the best evidence of Ws sad piglet in alach
commercial concerns are in South Staffer 'shire. Very much of the
wide-spread mischief which is now being developed has been brought
about by t a extent to which the accommodation bill system has been
carried on, and the facilities which the parties concerned in it have
unfortunately received Lora some of the Banking establishments. In
more than one of the falleres reported, the parties entered into heavy
engagements, and embarked in bus ness operations of great magni-
tude, without a shilling of capital of their own ; the result is that
honest traders—men who have capital to lose—have had to. suffer
from tha inabilities of the unprincipled class referred to, to.fulfll their
obligations, It has been estimated that the amount of accommoda—
tion bills recently wiihdrawn from circulation in South. Staffordshire
will tall little short oi five hundred thousand pounds,

LIVERPOOL TIMBER TRADE.

While etch is the state, and such the prospects of general trade, it
cannot be mutter of surprise that that in wood has experienced no
improvement; cn the contrary, it has been subjected to the full
influence of those depressing circumstances which have crippled
others. Little or no business has been done, and such attempts as
have been made to force sales have met with bnt small success, and
sacrifices have not secured a corresponding increase of business.
