failed. One Trial will convince the moat sceptical of their
surprising properties.

TUESDAY

711ORNING, OCT. 11, 1853

THE WEEK

LIVERPOOL was all astir on Tuesday last with
the intelligence received by electric telegt aph, that
Turkey had at length plucked up spirit, and de-
clared war against Russia. Tallow went up, and
stocks went down, and the possibilities and proba-

bilities of the expected war formed a fert;le topic of
cc nversation for the day. Consideration, however,
somewhat damped the warlike ardour with which
the news was first received, and as confirmation
of its truth was a long time in coming, indifference
took the place of excitement, and confidence was in

some degree restored.
On Wednesday the Town Council met, and de-
cided on the important question, whether Shaw's-
brow was to be reached by a bridge, or by a better
slope, and very properly decided in favour of the
latter. The large majority by which the point was
carried, is indicative of the feeling out of doors
being little in accordance with that of the Im

prove-

ment Committee, whose recommendation was thus,
outvoted. We have, in a leading article, made
some suggestions as to further improvements re-
quired, and trust that no narrow policy will be
allowed to mar the good work, of which the neces-
sity and advantage must be obvious.
On the same day the CHIEF MAGISTRATE enter-
tained the EARL OF DERBY and a distinguished
party to a banquet, at the Town-hall. As the en-
tertainment was private, all comment upon the
proceedings is precluded.
The interesting ceremony of presenting Mrs.
LITTLEDALE, the wife of the late Mayor, with a
silver cradle, in pleasant fulfilment of an ancient
legend, in order to commemorate the birth of a
son during the mayoralty of its father, took place
on Thursday. We have given the detaqs in another
column, and a description of the work of art, which
was subscribed for by the many who appreciate the
sterling qualities of Mr. Trtolus LITTLEDALE.
Liverpool was appalled, on Friday, by the intel-
ligence of two most disastrous accidents, attended
with frightful loss of human life. On the Great
Southern and Western Railway, at a station a few
miles from Dublin, a passenger train was brought
to a stand, owing to a defect in the engine. A
signal of danger was sent back, in order to stay an
expected goods train, but no attention was parT to
it, and the goods train, at full speed, dashed into
the passenger train, smashing nearly all the car-
riages, killing fourteen of the hapless inmates,. and
seriously injuring a great many more. The driver,
the guard, and the stoker of the goods train,. are
in custody, and a searching investigation is being•
made into the circumstances. On the same- day
the news was received of the sadly-fatal wreck of
the Annie Jane, which left Liverpool a short tizne
since, freighted with 450 passengers and a valuable'
cargo, for Montreal. She was met by the terrible.

gale which visited our coast a fortnight ago, dis-
masted and rendered; helpless by the fury of the
storm, driven northward, and at length dashed to
pieces on the shores of Barra, one of the southern-
most isles of the Hebrides, where 348 of the passen-
gers met with a watery grave, and the others were
with difficultyrescued. Such a frightful loss of human
life it has rarely been our lot to record, but it does
not appear that any fault is to be attribute
di
the conduct of the master and crew, or that *0
disaster is owing to any imperfection in the vessel
or her appointments.
Great complaint has been made by the emigrants
rescued from the Isaac Wright of the treatment
they received on board that vessel, and the insuffi-
ciency and bad quality of the food and water pro-
vided. It would appear that some more efficient
inspection is needed by a competent officer before
such vessels are permitted to sail, as it cannot be
expected that emigrant passengers have either the
opportunity or the ability to judge of a vessel's
stores before they venture their lives in her.
On Wednesday, the fine ship Neleus sailed for.
Australia, with a valuable cargo, and an immense.
number of letters and newspapers for the settler&
in our colonial El Dorado. The postponement of
the sailing from Tuesday night to Wednesday
morning was solely owing to the inconvenient hour•
at which the tide served on the former day, and not.
to any want of water, as was erroneously repre-
sented in some provincial newspapers. .
The favourable change of the wind in the early-
part of the week led to the sailing of an immense
number of vessels from this port to all parts of 'the.
world, and slightly assisted to relieve the docks
from the pressure with which they are even, now
inconveniently crowded.
The concert on Tuesday at the Philharinori;e-
hall, as we ventured to predict, attracted. one of
the most brilliant audiences ever assembled within
that spacious building, to listen to the sweet
singing of Grisi and Mario. So pressing. was the
demand for tickets, that the Committee were com-
pelled to arrange for a second concert, and this
evening the distinguished artistes, whose fame is
European, will take their farewell of Liverpool
before an audience as numerous as on last
Tuesday, the Committee having been obliged to
provide additional seats in order to meet the de-
mands for admission. The season commenced thus
auspiciously, bids fair to be most successful, as
another numerous gathering is expected for the
concert on this day fortnight, when the exquisite
harmony of the Orchestral Union will afford an
opportunity of listening to the perfection of instru-
mental music.
