LIVERPOOL.

At a meeting of the Liverpool Town Council held
yesterday, the Mayor, Mr. E. Lawrence, at the
commencement of the proceedings, said he desired
to say a word on a matter of deep interest to the
whole nation. They were aware Lord Palmer-
ston had passed away from among them. They
had been accustomed to associate him with every-
thing that had life and energy, and failed to recog-
nize the fact that he had already passed the usual
limit of human existence. During the last half-
century he had taken an active part in public affairs,
and throughout most eventful times his wisdom had
aided in guiding the councils of the nation in all
matters whether of home or foreign policy. At
home he had ever been the consistent advocate of
civil and religious liberty, and of all national pro-
gress ; while in our foreign relations his manly in-
dependence in a pre-eminent degree contributed to
secure for this country that position to which she
was entitled among the nations. It was possible
that there might be men of greater ability than
Lord Palmerston, but certainly no man had been
more successful as a statesman ; and in the present
day no man had ever succeeded in securing to the
same extent as he did the sympathy and the confi-
dence of all men of all shades of political opinion.
He would be carried to his grave admid the regrets
of the nation, and he would ever live in the grateful
hearts of all classes. Ile was sure the Council
would be willing to place on record their apprecia-
tion of the valuable services which he had rendered
to his country, and their sincere regret at his loss.
The proposal was received with cries of " Yes, yes."
A resolution to that effect was then placed on the
minutes.

MANCHESTER.

Intelligence of the death of Lord Palmerston did
not reach Manchester yesterday till after the close
of business, and was not very generally known till
yesterday. A profound feeling of regret was
expressed generally, and a good many flags on ware-
houses and public buildings were hoisted " half-
mast." Conversation on the Exchange turned very
generally on the loss the country had sustained in
the death of so eminent a statesman, and to a great
extent business appeared to be lost sight of in the
more absorbing topic of the day. As might be ex-
pected there was a good deal of speculation as to
who is likely to succeed Lord Palmerston as Premier,
and the names of Lord Russell, Lord Granville, and
Lord Clarendon were among those most freely men-
tioned. Mr. Gladstone was also spoken of, and an
opinion was rather freely expressed that whoever
might be Minister, on Mr. Gladstone, as leader of
the House of Commons, the burden of power
would rest.

THE DEATH OF LORD PALMERSTON.

Apo-

TIVERTON.

The sad fact of the death of the Premier was re-
ceived in the town which he had so long and well
represented about 5 o'clock on Wednesday, and
caused expressions of regret on all bands. His late
appearance in the town, it was feared by most,
would be his last also ; still the news of his demise
did not arrive without proving a great shock to the
inhabitants, to whom his lordship's connection with
them as their representative for 30 years had greatly
endeared him. His lordship's colleague, Mr. Wal-
road, it seems, first received the information, and
announced it at a meeting which he happened to be
then attending. Almost without exception every
shop in the town was closed yesterday.
London, England, 1865-10-20

ROMSEY.

The melancholy news of the death of the Premier
was received at Romsey on Wednesday afternoon
by a telegraphic message to the Mayor (Mr. C.
Dyett) from Brockett-hall. On recept of the in-
telligence a muffled peal was rung from the bells of
the Abbey Church. The shops were also closed,
and a universal feeling of sorrow pervaded the com-
munity at the loss of an illustrious townsman and a
kind neighbour and landlord. A circumstance il-
lustrative of his thoughtful kindness, and which, if
viewed by the light of subsequent events, would
.almost seem to show he had a presentment of his
near approaching end, took place about a fortnight
ago. He then sent directions to his head game-
keeper that the annual presents of game made to
his tenantry and neighbours, hitherto made on his
lordship's . Christmas visit, should be given at once,
and with the order came the injunction, " They
were not to forget the clergy." It will be a long
time before Broadlands will see a more genial, hos-
pitable owner, or the people of Romsey a more kind-.
hearted neighbour than Lord Palmerston.

TUE GAS QUESTION.

After some discussion, the consideration of the petition,
presented by Mr. Whiteside, of the gas consumers of the
City of London, praying the court to authorise the General
Purposes Committee to engage professional assistance for
obtaining the necessary information to enable them to apply
to Parliament for power to erect gas works, and to manu-
facture or contract for the supply of gas, and to lay down
new, or purchase the existing mains for the distribution of
gas to the citizens of London, was deferred on the under-
taking that the question should come on before a special
court to be held on Thursday next.

The great bell of St. Nicholas announced to the
inhabitants of Newcastle on Wednesday evening
that Lord Palmerston was dead, and universal re-
gret was expressed by all classes at the loss the
country had sustained by the sudden death of the
Premier. All the local papers were in mourning
yesterday morning, and the feeling of sorrow is
general throughout the north-eastern district.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A FISHING SMACK.—On
Tuesday morning a melancholy accident occurred by the
upsetting of a fishing smack in Kyles of Bute, by which
five persons are supposed to have lost their lives. The
smack was engaged in buying up fish in the Kyles of Bute.
Tuesday morning was very stormy, and the smack, with 11
or 12 persons on board—men and lads—and having some
18 boxes of herrings on board, was knocking about off
Calle, in the Kyles of Bute, waiting to put the fish on
board an incoming steamer, when she was suddenly upset
in a squall, filled, and went down, leaving all on board
scrambling for their lives. There was a small boat, but in
the scramble it was upset. Some clung to the floating
boxes of fish, and after knocking about in this way for
more than an hour were picked up by skiffs which came
to their assistance. On the whole, seven are reported to
have been picked up by skiffs, while five, or four at least,
have to a certainty perished.
DEATH OF BLACKBURN, THE ABSCONDED BANK-

sal. He appears to have returned to this country five or
six weeks since, and to have been living secreted at Gomer-
sal, his whereabouts being altogether unknown to the
bankruptcy officials who were in possession of his mill.
The deceased was the person whom Mr. Superintendent
Hunt, of Leeds, met in New York, and from whom he so
cleverly obtained several bills of lading for property be-
longing to his creditors.—Leeds Mercury.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

The Zebra, 17, 200-horse power, Commander C.
G. Lindsay, from the West Coast of Africa, which
is now being dismantled preparatory to being pail
off into the Chatham steam reserve, has returned
her guns, shot, shell, and most of her War Depart-
ment stores into the ordnance stores at Chatham.
Within the last few days a number of her crew, to-
gether with two officers, have been admitted into
Melville Royal Hospital, Chatham, in addition to
several of her crew removed to hospital immedi-
ately after the arrival of the ship in England. This
has so reduced the number of the effective seamen
on board that there are not sufficien"t hands remain-
ing in the ship to carry on the necessary work con-
nected with dismantling her, and a large party of
riggers and other hands from the dockyard have ac-
cordingly been sent on board to assist in stripping
the sloop. Only two of her officers, and a small
number of her crew, who left England with .the
Zebra three years ago, return with her, the re-
mainder having either died, been invalided, or trans-
ferred to other vessels.

The screw ship Icarus, 11, 580 tons, 150-horse
power, fitting in the great basin for the first-class
steam reserve in the Medway, in readiness for im-
mediate commission, is getting well forward, and
already most of her lower wire standing rigging
has been set up. Her fittings on board are being
proceeded with, and opportunity takon to overhaul
her engines and machinery. The Icarus is intended
to relieve one of the vessels which will arrive home
in the ensuing spring.

MARKETS--This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market
to-day were very moderate. The bulk of the supply, how-
ever, was received in good condition, and the trade, on the
whole, ruled steady at full prices.
A tolerably large supply of foreign wheat was on the
stands. The amount of business transacted was moderate,
and Monday's currency was steadily supported.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, and prices
ruled firm.

Good and fine barley was scarce, and changed hands at
full quotations. There was a good supply of inferior barley
on offer, the trade for which was dull on former terms.
Malt changed hands to a moderate extent at late rates.
Oats were in good supply, and the trade for them ruled
firm at full prices.

Beans and peas were in but moderate request, but Mon.
day's quotations were supported.
The flour trade was steady at full prices.

MADRID, OCT. 19 (Evening).
The cholera has almost disappeared from this
city, and yesterday there were only 33 cases.
The number of inhabitants who have left Madrid
on account of the cholera is 80,000.

FRANCE.

PARIS, OCT. 20.

The English Government has given its adhesion

to the proposal of France that-an International
Sanitary Conference should assemble at Constanti-
nople with the object of devising means for prevent-
ing the spread of cholera from Asia into Europe,
and removing, as far as possible, the causes which
lead to the outbreak of this epidemic.

BOURSE, Oct. 19.—Two o'Clock.—Consols
having regained the I per cent. lost yesterday, a
little encouragement has been given to the market
here, which shows a slight advance. The weekly
returns of the Bank of France show a further de-
cline in the bullion account of upwards of 6/ mil-
lions of francs, as well as a decline of nearly 14
millions in the portefeuille. Threes, for the Account,
are at 67f. 75c., and Italian Fives have improved
7/c., to 65f. 22/c. Credit Mobilier Shares have an
advance of 5f., their quotation being 863 f. 75c.
Spanish Mobilier have also a similar advance—viz.,
to 502 f. 50c. North of Spain have declined 2f. 50c.
—to 215 f. These Shares are again being " dis-
counted" to the number of 2,775. Lombard Shares
have declined 7f. 50c. Very little business doing.
Three o'Clock.—The market, though much weaker
then at the opening, has not closed lower than yes-
terday's prices. The last quotations were as fol-
lows :

]ON `Y MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL iNTELLIGIII\TOB,

TWELVE
The Money Market is fast Tassuming anCLOCK easier
tendency. Under the influence of the favourable
Bank returns, brokers are anxious to secure busi-
ness at a fraction below the official minimum, and
the best commercial bills are now freely taken at
6i and 7 per cent., and bankers' acceptances at 64
per cent.

The Bank of England return is more favourable
than was generally anticipated. The reserves have
been strengthened, while the bills discounted have
been considerably lessened. The following are the

The Bank of France return shows the following
alterations, which, regarded as:a whole, cannot be
considered very unsatisfactory. The bullion has
been decreased £266,670, but the notes in circula-
tion have been diminished £710,000, the advances
on stock £16,000, the bills discounted £550,000,
and the current accounts £496,000. The Treasury
balance has been increased £lO,OOO.
At the meeting to-day of the Northern Assam
Tea Company the report stated that the accounts
refer
only to those kept in London, as no detailed
Indian accounts can be prepared until receipt of
accounts to end of current season. The adjustment
of the balances therefore must be deferred until
these arrive. Meanwhile the directors desire to
assure the shareholders that the strictest economy,
consistent with efficiency, is enforced in all depart-
ments.

THE GAS QUESTION.

After some discussion, the consideration of the petition,
presented by Mr. Whiteside, of the gas consumers of the
City of London, praying the court to authorise the General
Purposes Committee to engage professional assistance for
obtaining the necessary information to enable them to apply
to Parliament for power to erect gas works, and to manu-
facture or contract for the supply of gas, and to lay down
new, or purchase the existing mains for the distribution of
gas to the citizens of London, was deferred on the under-
taking that the question should come on before a special
court to be held on Thursday next.
London, England, 1865-10-20

ROMSEY.

The melancholy news of the death of the Premier
was received at Romsey on Wednesday afternoon
by a telegraphic message to the Mayor (Mr. C.
Dyett) from Brockett-hall. On recept of the in-
telligence a muffled peal was rung from the bells of
the Abbey Church. The shops were also closed,
and a universal feeling of sorrow pervaded the com-
munity at the loss of an illustrious townsman and a
kind neighbour and landlord. A circumstance il-
lustrative of his thoughtful kindness, and which, if
viewed by the light of subsequent events, would
almost seem to show he had a presentment of his
near approaching end, took place about a fortnight
ago. He then sent directions to his head game-
keeper that the annual presents of game made to
his tenantry and neighbouis, hitherto made on his
lordship's Christmas visit, should be given at once,
and with the order came the injunction, " They
were not to forget the clergy." It will be a long
time before Broadlands will see a more genial, hos-
pitable owner, or the people of B,omsey a more kind-
hearted neighbour than Lord Palmerston.

LIVERPOOL.

At a meeting of the Liverpool Town Council held
yesterday, the Mayor, Mr. E. Lawrence, at the
commencement of the proceedings, said he desired
to say a word on a matter of deep interest to the
whole nation. They were aware Lord Palmer-
ston had passed away from among them. They
had been accustomed to associate him with every-
thing that had life and energy, and failed to recog-
nize the fact that he had already passed the usual
limit of human existence. During the last half-
century he had taken an active part in public affairs,
and throughout most eventful times his wisdom had
aided in guiding the councils of the 'nation in all
matters whether of home or foreign policy. At
home he had ever been the consistent advocate of
civil and religious liberty, and of all national pro-
gress ; while in our foreign relations his manly in-
dependence in a pre-eminent degree contributed to
secure for this country that position to which she
was entitled among the nations. It was possible
that there might be men of greater ability than
Lord Palmerston, but certainly no man had been
more successful as a statesman ; and in the present
day no man had•ever succeeded in securing to the
same extent as he did the sympathy and the confi-
dence of all men of all shades of political opinion.
He would be carried to his grave admid the regrets
of the nation, and he would ever live in the grateful
hearts of .all classes. He was sure the Council
would be willing to place on record their apprecia-
tion of the valuable services which he had rendered
to his country, and their sincere regret at his loss.
The proposal was received with cries of " Yes, yes."
A resolution to that effect was then placed on the
minutes.
