I say reluctantly, because, whilst I will never shrink fr taking a fair share in the pub lic business of the Town, I am fully sensible you might have selected a gentleman of more talent and greater experience to represent your interests, but I appeal with confidence to my conduct through life, as an assurance for the faithful dis charge of any trust you may repose in me. 1 cannot feel otherwise than exceedingly gratified at the many tenders of support with which I have been honoured by gentlemen from whom I differ in political opinions. Having been many years located in this Ward, I feel an interest in its welfare, and, should I be honoured by your choice, it would be my constant study to promote the pros perity of the inhabitants. I remain, Gentlemen, your most obedient Servant, Rose-hill, 11th October, 1839. ROBT. JONES, Jiin. • TO THE ELECTORS OF LIME-STREET WARD.

My principles are welt known to most of you ; and being a Member of the Established Church, I will, to the utmost of my power, support it, being fully persuaded, that sinee it gained the esteem and confidence of the nation, it has been liberal and tolerant to all those who have conscientiously differed from it. I have spent an active life in the Ward, having been in business twenty-seven years : and being, from long habits, intimately acquainted both with the general and local busi ness of the town. I offer myself to you unfettered by any pledge, save that of a conscientious desire for the general welfare, and a full de termination to further those measures alone which may operate for the public good. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obliged Servant, Haymarket, October 12, 1839. ROBERT RIGBY. TO THE BURGESSES OF GREAT GEORGE'S WARD. GENTLEMEN, A li I qHLY-RESPECTABLE Deputation having soli 1. ia. cited me to become a CANDID TE for the Repre sentation of your Ward in the Town uncil, I avail myself of this opportunity of signifying acquiescence in so honourable a request. Although from habit and inclination I am reluctant to take a part in public affairs, I feel .it imperative upon me to obey the call which has thus been made upon me, and which a large and 'respectable MEETING of CONSERVATIVE BUR GESSES has most fully confirmed ; but in accepting this invitation, it must be understood that commit myself by no pledge, and that I am to be at perfect liberty either to oppose or support any measures, proceeding from what party they may, which may appear to me detrimental or advantageous to the town or trade ,of Liverpool. . - Whatever preponderance may have been given to party by the recent unconstitutional attempts to increase the Regis tration Lists, I cannot forbear deprecating the introduction of such a system, which may ultimately entail additional burdens on the Parish, and which all parties, on every ground, should unite in discountenancing. If, then, your exertions should be crowned with success, these are the principles by which I shall be governed, and you may rely, that, under their influence, my best endeavours shall be used to promote the interest of your Ward. I remain, Gentlemen, Your obliged humble Servant, THOS. ROBINSON. Liverpool, 12th October, 1839.

TO THE. BURGESSES OF THE NORTH TOXTETH WARD. GENTLEMEN, IN accepting the very flattering invitation of the Liberal Electors of your Ward, to become a candidate as one of your Representatives in the Town Co cil at the ensuing Election, I beg to assure you that, i should have the ho nour conferred upon me of being re rned, I shall be found .. . hereafter, as hitlierto, the firm advocate of every measure, in my opinion, calculated to promote the interests of the com munity at large, by the general-diffusion of Education, with out distinction of sect or creed ; the extension of Civil Rights simultaneously with such Education; a strictly economical application of the large funds at the disposal of the Town Council forligblic purposes, except in those cases where a more liberal xpenditure will evidently be eventually more beneficial. Believing, as I do, in the entire and full responsibility of the Representative to the Electors, I anl deoide4ly opposed to the plan - of secret voting on his part. " _ Having thus given a brief declaration of my sentiments on some of the leading principles by which my conduct, if I be elected, will be guided, I shall be happy, when I have the opportunity of meeting you, to explain with what views I have accepted your invitation ; and, in conclusion, wish you to understand, that it is not from any want of respect that I decline a personal canvass, believing that such a course is one which ought not fairly to be required from a Candidate. I remain, Gentlemen, Your very obedient Servant, 3d October, 1839. D. MATHER. TO THE BURGESSES OF CASTLE-STREET WARD. GENTLEMEN, A T your request, i n 1835 , I offered myself as one of the # CII. Candidates to represent your Ward in the Town Coun cil, pledging myself to the maintenance of the principle that equal privileges, with equal duties, should be extended to all in equal stations ; and as a friend to the education of the peo ple. At that period I was also enga g ed in a contest with the Trustees of the Ch urc h E n d owmen t Fund, which was conti nued by the new Council, and is now terminated by the re funding of £105,000 to the Corporate Estate'. By your kind. support, I have since continued to be one itif your Represen tatives in the Cou nc il ; an d aga i n, a t h ur reques t, as ex pressed at a numero us M eet i ng o f t h rgesses o f th e W ar d, I renew my offers of servi ce a t th e a ()aching Election. By the principles which I p ro f esse d, an in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Acts, I have endeavoured to re gulate my public conduct ; and the publicity which is given to all proceedings of the Council, have enabled you to ascer tain the votes which I have given, with my reasons in sup port of them,' on most of the important questions brought under discussion. I therefore solicit a renewal of your con fidence on the ground of the knowledge you have of my past conduct; and 'if, by your continued support, I shall again have the honour of being returned to the Council, the expe rience I have had, as one of its members, will enable me to - I,lischarge, with increased advantage to the public, the duties which would devolve upon me. It is known to you that I am a supporter of the system which has been introduced into the Corporation Schools, and I am so because it places all denominations on terms of per fect equality, and has banished the old system of exclusive ness, the effect of which will be that the children of all creeds, by being educated together in harmony, will be much more likely, in after life, to continue good friends and neighbours, than if they had been educated separately, in sectarian hosti lity and intolerance. 1 have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your very obedient humble Servant, TH O.

Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known That the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other.

ROYAL , KEREIGN, JOHN WAR R, Commander, / ROYA GEORGE, - ROBERT COOK, Commander ; The GLASGOW and LIVERPOOL ROYAL STEAM PACKET COMPANY have, in the construction of these splendid Iron Ships, made every arrangement for speed, com fort, and safety. They are divided into five sections, by means of iron partitions, or bulkheads, both air and water tight, guarding, in an especial way, passengers and goods from any danger that may arise from fire or water, and would, with reference to the latter, preserve their buoyancy under circumstances which would at once be fatal to any vessel built of timber. These vessels proceed with passengers and goods direct from Liverpool to Glasgow, thereby avoiding the great incon venience to passengers of trans-shipment into small river boats at Greenock, and securing delivery of goods at Glasgow many hours sooner than can be done by wooden vessels.

KELL and SONS, Surgeon Dentists, of Oxford-street, London, and Norfolk-street, Sheffield, may e consulted at Mrs. LLOYD'S, 36, (late 95,) BOLD-STR T, Liverpool, OPPOSITE TIIE PALATINE CLU OUSE. Mr. E. continues to FIX ARTIFICIA TEETH on his entirely New Principle, without tying or twisting wires : they are constructed in such a manner that it is impossible to dis cern them from the productions of nature. The peculiar ad vantages of these Teeth are, that they operate as a support to those which remain in the mouth, if any, and prevent their ap proximation, and even Loose Teeth are held firm in their sockets by their aid. They may be taken out and replaced by the wearer with fa cility, and will continue securely fixed on the gums ; they will retain their colour, perform mastication, assist articula tion, and cannot be distinguished from those of natural growth. The inconveniences attending the LOSS of TEETH are too well known to require comment; but to those who have not experienced the comforts of Artificial Teeth, Mr. Eskell is desirous of showing the difficulties more or less en dured by every individual without Teeth. When the Teeth fail the destruction of the sockets invariably ensues : one cannot exist without the other. The process of absorption commences immediately after the tooth is extracted, or, in many cases, the gum and sockets waste away, and cause the teeth to become loose and drop out. When the teeth are gone and their sockets-absorbed, a great vacuum is left in the mouth, which occasions every muscle in the face to be distorted ; and the eyes, the nose, the lips, and chin, are sadly disfigured and drawn from their original position. These Artificial Teeth are 'constructed to supply this defect of na ture, and gradually to restore the features to that uniformity so essentially requisite to a youthful appearance and perfect articulation. In consequence of the great improvements in'the Mechani cal Departments of Dentistry, Mr. E. is enabled to lower his charges to the following scale : A Single Artificial Tooth £o 10 0 A complete Set A complete Set of Mineral Teeth, Gold ls 15 0 Plates, highly finished A complete Set of Incorrodible Teeth, first workmanship, usually charged 25 0 0 Fifty Guineas FILLING DECAYED TEETH. Mr. Eskell's celebrated MINERAL TERRA METAL LIC, for filling Decayed Teeth, without heat, pain, or pressure. This Mineral is applied in a soft state like paste, to the cavity of the Decayed Tooth, however large or small the cavity ; it hardens in a second into an enamel, becomes incorporated with the outer shell, arresting thereby the pro gress of further Decay, and Toothache, and lasting for many years. Loose Teeth fastened, whether arising from old age, the use of calomel, neglect, or natural diseases of the gums. 4,7 All other Dental Operations, Scaling, Separating, Extract ing, and Regulating Children's Teeth, Mr. E. performs with ease and safety. Mr. E.'s system of practice combines all the modern im proved methods adopted in London, the only opportunity of the kind to be met with, without visiting the Metropolis.

PORTRAITS AND MEMOIRS OF THE ARCHBISHOPS; - BISHOPS, AND 0 -fhiIiISTIN GUISHED DIGNITARIES AND LERGYMEN OF THE UNITED CHURCH OF ENGLA AND IRELAND, AND OF TH EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN SCOTLAND, AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. EDITED BY THE Rev. STEPHEN ISAACSON, M.A. IT is intended that this great National Work shall comprise a series of Portraits, accompanied with brief Memoirs, of the Archbishops, Bishops, and other living Dignitaries and Clergymen of the United Church of England and Ireland, both here and in our Colonies, the Episcopal Church of Scotland, and that interesting branch of the Protestant Episcopal Church now flourishing in the United States of America; and the distinguished patronage with which this undertaking has been already honoured, inspires the Pro prietors with confidence that it will be highly acceptable to the nation at large, as well as to the members of our venera ble and Apostolic Church. The value of this Work will be obvious to all who desire to see the sacred ties of Christian affection drawn more closely between the respective orders and ranks of the Clqgy and their Congregations. To the,Clergy who may wish to possess Portraits of the Bishops who ordained-them, and are " over .them in the Lord," and likewise of their College and Clerical friends ; and of livinc , authors whom they have read and esteem, the present `Work will be full of interest and pleasure. To Parochial Congregations also it will afford high gratifica tion to be able individually to possess themselves of a faithful Portrait of the Pastor from whom they receive the advantages of religious instruction and spiritual consolation, and whom they have been led to " esteem highly for his work's sake." The numerous Lay friends and relatives of the Clergy will also have an opportunity of obtaining accurate Portraitures of those who are endeared to them by the ties of nature. In all these, and many other respects, this Work cannot fail of becoming of great utility and interest to the vast body of the Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry of the British Empire. The Portraits will be selected without the least regard to political or other differences of opinion. Eminence in Ecclesiastical rank, intellectual abilities, learning, virtue, or religious zeal, being the great objects proposed to be recorded. _ - The Memoirs will be confined to a review of the academical course and public life of the Clergyman whose likeness is given, together with a list of any religious or literary works which he may have published. Facts will be stated, while all critical and controversial observations likely - to offend will be excluded. It has been suggested by very high authority, that it would add much to the interest and value of the work, if each Clergyman would furnish a short exposition of a passage of Scripture. The Proprietors cheerfully accede to this suggestion, and respectfully solicit the favour of such communications. And as only about four pages on an average can be appropriated to each Memoir and Scriptural illustration, brevity will be highly desirable. The Portraits will be engraved in the first style of the Art, and neither trouble nor expense spared to render this great Work worthy of the noble cause to which it is dedicated, and one of the most splendid that has ever appeared. A Part, containing three Portraits, with their respective Memoir, will be published on the first day of every alternate month, in a thick, handsome wrapper, for the protection of the Plates. The size of each engraving will be nine inches by seven. s. d. Price of each Part, India Proofs 21 0 Ditto ditto, Imperial Quarto Proofs 12 0 For the convenience of Subscribers and others, each Plate may be had separately. Proofs of the Plates,before Letters, on Large Paper,lndia2l 0 Ditto Lettered, ditto India 10 6 Ditto ditto ditto Plain 7 6 All Portraits will be given in full canonicals ; and those Clergymen II ho have approved likenesses will oblige the Proprietors by lending them for the purposes of this Work. They will be carefully preserved, and returned free of expense ; but where no Portrait exists, the Proprietors will have one painted expressly for the Work at their own expense. Part I. is now ready, containing a Portrait and Memoir of THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. THE BISHOP OF ROCHESTER. THE REV. HENRY MELVILL. RYALL'S CONSERVATIVE PORTRAITS.

A. big-headed I rishman—one of those who, if the doctrines of certain phrenologists be true, will become the rulers of mankind—was placed at the bar on a charge of having assaulted Mr. James Archer. The complainant stated that on Thursday evening he was passing along Forrest-street, when the prisoner rushed out of an entry, seized hold of him, and commenced a most furious assault upon him. He could attribute this to nothing but an intention to rob him, and, thus thinking, he called out " Murder." The prisoner was fined £s—in default of payment to be imprisoned two months. RATHER HARD. Patrick O'Meara, a decently-dressed Irishman, was charged with having assaulted a man named Samuel Ashley. From the statement of the complainant it appeared that the prisoner, who is in the employ of Mr. Staines, called upon him for the purpose of disposing of some tin lead, which he (complainant) purchased at the rate of 12s. 6d. per cwt. O'Meara then said, " You need only pay me 9s. 6d. per cwt. ; the remainder you can give to another man, who will call for it." Complainant thinking this rather strange, went to the office of Mr. Staines, to inquire about the matter, when the prisoner assaulted him in a most furious manner. The prisoner, in his defence, said that there being a quan tity of tin lead to dispose of at his master's, at the rate of 7s. 6d. per cwt., which he thought to be worth at least 9s. 6d., he spoke to an acquaintance on the subject, and at last got him to purchase the lead, he (the prisoner) advancing the money for the purpose. He afterwards sold it to Mr. Ashley for 12s. 6d., the profit to be divided betwixt himself and friend. Mr. Ashley, however, went to the office of Mr. Staines, and called him such abusive names that he could not refrain from striking him. The warehouseman of Mr. Staines said that the lead was to have been sold by the prisoner for 9s. 6d. The prisoner. —That is not correct. I can produce the man to whom I alluded, to prove that the lead was sold to him and me for 7s. 6d. The prisoner called this person, who was stepping towards the witness box, when Mr. Rushton said, " What has that to do with it . ? The selling of lead has nothing to do with the assault. Besides, I have no doubt that you intended to commit a fraud upon your master ; for he has proved that your story is-false." Prisoner.—That is not my master : he is only the ware houseman. , Mr..ll,ushton.—l don't care : he has proved it. You have committed an abominable assault on a man for exposing your intention to defraud, and I will make you pay as far as I can. I am sorry I cannot punish you more severely.

VICTORIA CHANNEL. We have great pleasure in announcing to the public, and, especially, to the shipowners and others interested in the navigation of the channels leading - into this port, the im portant and gratifying intelligence of the completion of the buoying and lighting of Victoria Channel. The annexed re port of the Marine. Surveyor to the Chairman of the Dock Committee, which we have been permitted to copy, states briefly, but fully, this interesting fact ; and it is not neces sary that we should add any thing to the information thus given, unless it be to say, that the Chairman and several members of the Dock Committee went, on Friday last, on a visit of inspection of the channels, lighthouses, lightships, buoys, lifeboats, &c., and were much gratified in finding every thing in the most perfect order ; indeed, we should say, that it would be difficult to improve upon the system of buoying in the channels, which is no less remarkable for its great simplicity than for its accuracy, utility, and import ance. We are sure great credit is due to the Committee, as well as to their servants more immediately engaged in this branch of the public service, for the skill, zeal, and diligence with which the work has been performed. There is every prospect, too, of Victoria Channel proving a permanent out let and inlet to the great port, lying, as it does, nearly in the direct set of flood and ebb tide, and forming a western com munication of Crosby Channel, which will, no doubt, make it the principal channel leading into the river and docks. Little do we fear the prognostications of timid persons, that the river will ever be choked up. No change of any import ance, can take place in any of the banks or channels, by the shifting of the sands, without being immediately detected by the exercise of the same vigilance and watchfulness the com mittee have hitherto shown over the objects of their charge Before we give Mr. Lord's report, we may add, that the life boat establishments have been materially extended and the crews completed. Those belonging to Liverpool, the Maga zines, and Hoylake accompanied by the committee, went on Friday, as far as Hilbre Island, and their trim, equipments, rowing, and sailing qualities gave great satisfaction. The committee also visited the Point of Ayr, and examined and exercised the crew and boat of that station, and were pleased with their performance. It cannot be too much to assert, that at no part in the United Kingdom is there a lifeboat es tablishment on so large a scale or so complete as that belong ing to Liverpool. No doubt storms will occur, ships will be wrecked, and men may quail and become timid in the hour of danger, which should be the time of energy and enter prise ; but these are circumstances which none can foresee or avert. It must, however, be satisfactory to the public to be informed, that every preparation which skill can contrive has been made to meet the extremest exigencies which may occur;. but long may it be beforedisasters so melancholy and painful as those of January last again happen! MR. LORD'S REPORT. " Steamer Hero, Oct. 10, 8, P.M. " DEAR SIR,--T feel much pleasure in informing you, that all the arrangements connected with the buoying and light ing of Victoria Channel are completed, without the slightest mishap of any kind. I passed twice through the channel, to-night, after dark, and found the lights to answer in the most satisfactory manner. The Isle of Man steamer and the Duchess of Lancaster also passed through about the same time; also, her Majesty's small packet Medusa this morn ing. The facility of entrance to this port, by this channel, will, I am sure, be felt and appreciated by every seafaring man. We carried fifteen feet over the bank at low water. " WILLIAM LORD.

EARLY APPEARANCE OF WILD rowe.On . Thursday . evening last a large flock of wild geese were se'dn:to . pass over Hendford-hill, near Yeovil, very near the grolinilVand which, doubtless, took up their abode for the eight in the corn fields , at the top of the hill, as they were again, seen, early, the uex I morning, winging their way to the soatliward: Several vita ducks were also seen in the river bet Ween Lantrport and 11- chester, on Sunday morning last.

MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAlL*Al'.=—Asp r eeN ge neral meeting of the shareholders in this•concpailywas :held -'on Thursday last, at the company's offices,,Hunt's.Banit, Man chester ; Mr. Henry Houldsworth, deputy-chairman ; of the board of directors, in the chair.—The ChaihnimsM.techAhat the object of the meeting was to consider the prcifirletY of availing themselves of the power in their new net to borrow the further sum of £216,000, which theyiweke -hew entitled to do, one-half of the capital of the ,company having been paid up. A large proportion of the money - they wahted had been offered them on reasonabloterms, , , which wa4littlieiea son for borrowing ; but independent of that they ,were ged to raise more money, as the works were proceeding more rapidly than could be paid for, even by making the calls as quickly as the act allowed. , The works were going bn very favourably. Many of the bridges were completed, so far as the arches were concerned, and the , others were all of them so far advanced that the piers were above the surface of the water, except four of the piers at one bridge. Of the summit tunnel, according to the engineer's last report, there had been 146 yards completed in the previous month, being a consi derable increase over the month preceding. In every respect. the works were going on very favourably. There was no reason to fear that the expense would be greater than the shareholders were already apprised of, and there was every reason to believe that the work would be completed in less time. Mr. John Brown moved a resolution,_ authorising the directors to borrow the sum of £216,000, Which was seconded and carried unanimously. The Chairman' said; the receipts from traffic for the last week had been £B6B, and they had gone on increasing every. week with the exception clone.— Captain Laws said, it ought to be known that at the present moment, the duty per mile on their line considerably ex , ceeded that of the Manchester and Liverpool Railway. They carried more passengers for their 13 miles than that corn ' pang did for their 31. Mr. Jellicorse said, the number of passengers was 2,300 a-day and upwards. The Chairman said, in making the comparison between the Manchester and Liverpool Railway and their own r in reference to the number of passengers, the shareholders would be aware that they,had a low class of fares, which induced a great number to travel on their line, and who, of course, increased the duty paid. But travelling at a cheap rate yielded-a higher profit than travelling by the first class carriages.. .Thereason was, there was so much less dead weight connected with the third-class carriages, and the carriages themselves weighed so much less. Mr. Brown said, that was a statement whiala the public would not believe at present. The Chairman maid, he was certain his statement was correet, from „calculations lie had made. Taking a first , classlearriage;Mid a thlrd:"ClaSS-ear riage, and assuming that they were each two parts full, he found that the latter Yielded a higher profit per ton the mile than the first class, the one being 84- and the other 7,1 after the duty was deducted. After a few remarks from several other gentlemen, a vote of thanks to the chairman was passed, and the meeting separated: - OW" __, 4.-- 11 ,,, ,, -- •••••",...-""-."- .... ..".........- J, . , , - . 2. / ,s r d c> .-- . .., --./....
