Sir THOMAS BRANcKER: I concur entirely with my N.B.—To.Monuow (Wednesday), the 12th instant, is friends, Mr. Shand and Mr. Moore, as to the qualifica appointed for the DAY of ELECTION , w hich will tions of Mr. Hodgson to fill the chair, which you, sir, take place between the hours of One and Four in the have so well filled ; but I owe it as a duty to my Afternoon, at the Dock Committee.room, Revenue- respected friend upon my right hand not to allow this buildings, Cannrug-place. motion to pass without some opposition upon my part. _ My friend, Mr. George Hall Lawrence, may be said, in common parlance, to have been in the field for the last two years. He was at the election of Mr. Sands, as well as that of yourself, brought forward, but his friends with drew him, to avoid division and dissension in the political party he belonged to; and after having done so on two occasions, they did think they had a fair claim, upon the common principle of what is called " give and take," that upon the third occasion Mr. Lawrence should have been brought forward. Why that has not been done, I cannot tell; but this I will say, that there is no member of that party more fitted to give satisfaction to the town at large, more qualified to discharge the various im portant duties that attach to the office of chief magistrate than my friend, Mr. George Hall Lawrence. (Hear, hear.) I regret exceedingly that there should be any divisions or dissensions, but I think, when we have given way upon two occasions in order to avoid dissension, that, as I said before, upon this third occasion we raieht have received this compliment at least. In Mr. Lawrence's presence I will not say more than this, that I think the Council at large will bear testimony to the ability, the courteous demeanour, and to the advantage that has arisen to the corporate estate from the manner in which he has discharged the duties of the offices he has filled for so many years past. (Hear.) lam sure you will join with me in saying, that in the manner in which he has performed his duties, he has been second to none of his predecessors. (Cheers.) I have great pleasure in proposing Mr. George Hall Lawrence, as a fit and proper person to fill the office of Mayor for the ensuing year. (Applause.) Mr. LACE : I have great pleasure in seconding the no mination of Mr. Lawrence as Mayor. I had hoped some reasons would have been given why, what I think is a very good rule, should be departed from, namely, that those who have for a long time assiduously given their time and attention to the affairs of the Corporation, should be passed over. I think it is generally considered that where a gentleman has devoted the time to them that Mr. Law rence has, there should be some reason given why the re ward which every man may fairly look to for those ser vices, and which is an honourable one, for discharging them well—l say, some reason should be given wiry that rule should be departed from. Ido not for a moment say that Mr. Hodgson is a gentleman who ought not to be Mayor of Liverpool. On the contrary, I think ho would well perform the duties of the office, but I think he is taken wholly out of turn. I see, besides Mr.Hodgson, two gentlemen to whom the town is infinitely more in debted : Ithere are Mr. Nicol and Mr. Moore, who did more upon the passing of the Docks Bill, than any other gentlemen. I think Mr. Hodgson should have waited, at least until those gentlemen had passed the chair. Ido not doubt as I said before, that Mr. Hodgson would dis charge the duties of the chair well. lam sure that during his Mayoralty he would put aside all questions of politics, that he will. as he stands between both parties, discharge his duties impartially ; but Mr. Lawrence will do so equally, and there is no reason given why gentlemen who have devoted so much time as Mr. Lawrence has done to the service of the Corporation, should be passed over. For these reasons I beg to second the nomination. (Cheers.) Mr. RATHBONE: I much wished to have given a si lent vote on this occasion, because I am aware what I may say may be attributed to motives of which I feel myself incapable. But I do think that in the coming winter it is very important we should have a chief ma gistrate who has not any peculiar hostility to any one portion of the community. I believe, therefore, that in the selection of Mr. Lawrence as mayor, there will be the better chance of the dignity of that chair being main tained, and the peace of the town being preserved.

The astonishing success which has crowned the applica tion of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhappy suffecet had despaired of ever gaining even the least relief end this after the ablest advice and every other means,lfad completely failed, most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted.

Mr. JAMES LAWRENCE then vacated the chair, and Mr. Hodgson was introduced by Mr. Shand and Mr. Bramley-Moore. The Mayor Elect then took the oaths and subscribed the declaration required by the Municipal Act, before Mr. Thos. Sands, as a magistrate. These forms being gone through, The MAYOR rose and said,—l beg to express to you how sensible I feel of the very high honour which you have this day conferred upon me. Deeply—and deeply do I feel it penetrating to my very heart—not alone the honour, but the manner of it is enhanced by the way in which it has be.en carried. After eight years' experience of my qualifications in this council, you have placed me in this chair, unsolicited by myself; and it shall be my earnest desire to maintain the dignity of this high position, and to execute its duties, in a way that shall not discredit the preference you have shewn to me. (Cheers.) In the chair in which you have now placed me, it shall also be my constant effort to preserve the charac teristics of impartiality, of courtesy, and of attention, at tributes that ought never to be separated from the chair, and which, I trust, will secure to me that predilection which has been already so manifested in my favour. I am also prepared, and fully, I trust, for receiving the full support of the whole council, who hitherto have main tained their chair irrespective of party feeling or of poli tics, who have ever afforded it their support and counten ance—a support and countenance which is alike valuable and necessary to the gentlemanly conduct of a public and great body, assembled as we are, to discuss subjects upon which differences of opinion prevail, and which I also look upon as important, as connected with the carrying out and supporting the great interests of the corporation, thst are entrusted into our hands. I will, however, gentlemen, make no further profession. I have made none to gain your favour. Your confidence has been gained by the conduct you have approved; and I hope to speak in the ensuing year by my acts. I hope to fill up this outline by acts that shall speak for themselves ; and I trust, gentlemen, that this time next year, there will not be either the power or the inclination on the part of any gentleman, be he of my politics, or on the opposite side, who shall lay to my charge other than the utmost desire to conduct this chair impartially and correctly. (Cheers.) We will now pro ceed to the business of the day. The allowance to the Mayor was then fixed at £2OOO, subject to the usual deductions. The minutes of the last monthly and special councils, and the proceedings, resolutions, and directions of the Dock Committee, under the existing acts, were con firmed. The three following quarterly meetings were appointed for the first 'Wednesdays in February, May, and August. The annual officers were appointed in the next place, and the usual directions given. The TOWN-CLERK then read the standing orders for the regulation of the proceedings of the council, and for the government of comelittees ; and on a motion being made for their adoption the ensuing year, Mr. EARLE rose, and, after a characteristic speech, moved that an additional standing order be made, to the effect, "that no brewer, spirit dealer, or other person selling wine, beer, or spirits, to publicans, should be a mem ber of the Watch Committee." Mr. PRESTON seconded the motion, adding that he fully concurred with everything the mover had stated. Mr. EARLE.—I am glad to have the support of one gentleman who is in the trade. The MAYOR stated the Town-Clerk to be of opinion that the motion could not form part of the standing order ; and that Mr. Earle's object would be attained by object ing to particular gentlemen when the committee was pro- Sin, —Having been informed of the surprising cure of Mr. I Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was com pelled to be confined by a strait waistcoat to prevent his commit ing any violence, and whose case was considered entirely hopeless, I was induced to ascertain the partic ulars, and being satisfied of the truth of my information, encouraged me to make a trial of rim most invaluable Medicine, entertaining little hopes of success, hav ing been many years so severe a sufferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam very happy in being able in adding my testimony of the benefit I derived : after a few days' application the use of my limbs are perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend my business, and, making an allowance for my age, never was better in my life. To those, however severely afflicted and hopeless their case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trial, feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use of their limbs, from the severe cases that have yielded to this Me dicine. Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to those who are deprived, none feels it so severe as the, tradesman or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and ruin on families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to make it known to those afflicted, to evince how grateful I am for my restoration, and am, Sir, yours truly, GEORGE POLLARD. October 20, 1844.

Mr. EARLE said he wished to divest the motion of all appearance of personality, and therefore he thought the best course was to propose au additional standing order. Mr. H• HORNBY contended that the view taken by the Town Clerk would not meet the case, because the ob ject was to ascertain the feeling of the council upon the proposition itself. Mr. PROCTER said he should be glad to see the propo- sition fairly tested by the vote, because the result would show what would become of Mr. Earle's groundless al legations against the wine, beer, and spirit trade. Mr. EARLE rote to order : he had made no allegations. Mr. PROCTOR contended that Mr. Earle did advance some indefinite allegations when he wished gentlemen in a particular trade to be kept off a certain committee. He (Mr. Proctor) had not been on the Watch Committee for two years ; but when he was a member of it he had never exercised any undue influence. He bad no objection to serve upon it again, but he should feel it a slur upon his character if he were rejected on account of his trade. He defied Mr. Earle to prove that he (Mr. Proctor) had exercised undue influence during the three years he had been upon that c. , mmit'ee. Mr. HORSF ALL said there certainly was a good deal in what Mr. Earle had said, but the proposition was novel, and might be carried a little too far. He (Mr. Horsfall) had been upon the Watch Committee last year, along with some members of the wlne and spirit trade. One of them was Mr. Preston, than whom there was not a more valuable and independent member, and he (Mr. Horsfall) should be exceedingly eorry, if, by the proposed standing order, Mr. Preston were excluded. If this principle were carried, what position would they be in with regard to the Dock Committee ? Were not shipowners likely to be in fluenced? Every gentleman must have credit given to him for sincerity of motive; and he (Mr. Horsfall) did not see any reason why, if gentlemen were excluded from the Watch Committee because they were in a particular trade, they should not be excluded from the D ,ck Com mittee because they were shipowners. Mr. Nicol. asked Mr. Earle whether he ought not to carry his principle a little further? On the list of the Watch Committee there was their worthy friend, the chairman of the Finance Committee, (Mr. G. 11. Law rence,) who was a West India proprietor and merchant, and who, no doubt, was also au io3porter of rum. He (Mr. Nicol) was in the East India trade, and also imported rum : he was not, however upon the Watch Committee, but he should think if Mr. Earle meant his doctrine to apply to all persons engaged in the sale of wines and spirits, it must apply not only to West India proprietors who im ported rum, but to brokers too who sold it. (Hear, hear.) Their friend Mr. Bushby would then be exclud ed. (Laughter.) Mr. Earle had never heard such a question in his life ; never l He was sure he did not think there were many gentlemen who would have thought of putting such a question. Did Mr. Bushby sell pints of rum to publi- cans ? Mr. NlcoL.—You did not limit it to pints. (Loud laughter.) Mr. EARLE. — Mr. Bushby sold to Mr. Preston and other gentlemen ; but he (Mr. Earle) spoke of the impro priety of gentlemen in these particular trades, who owned public houses and of publicans having the appointment of the police force. Mr. Elorsfall's argument as to the docks was not a parallel case, and, moreover, he (Mr. Earle) had not touched upon it. Mr. PROCTER.—AIIow me to say I own no public- houses. Mr. EARLE.—I did not say you did, sir. I dare say you wish you did. (Laughter.) Mr. GRIFFITHS : Perhaps Mr. Earle does himself, and if so, he is not very eligible. Mr. RATHBONE contended that the object of Mr. Earle's motion was not merely to keep gentlemen from doing wrong, but to keep the police force free even from the suspicion of being influenced by those who were put over them. Mr. GLAZEBROOK said that his appointment upon the Watch Committee was the act of the council. If the coun cil now took a different view, and said that no members of these particular trades should be upon this committee, he should concur ; but with regard to himself, and to the other gentlemen in the same trades upon the committee, he might use the strongest language of assurance that none of them had at any time been influenced by those motives and considerations which had been thought pos sible to affect them by Mr. Earle, and those who supported his views. Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE stated that the system of the Watch Committee had, in late years, been materially al tered. When Mr. Rathbone and Mr. Earle were mem bers of it, the publicans were brought before the com mittee, by whom the cases were heard ; indeed the com mittee virtually decided the question. At that period, therefore, it might: have been a question whether brew ers and spirit dealers were fit and proper persons to be upon the committee. But the committee were then wrong ; the law was against them ; and the system was consequently discontinued. (Hear.) He did not see now, how Mr. Earle could step in and set aside an act of ' parliament • besides, it would be wrong to condemn , en masse, a large body of peop.e without cause. If there were any persons who had used influence (which he be lieved they did not possess) let those persons be voted against individually. Mr. LACE had an impression favourable to Mr. Earle's motion, because he conceived the practice was unaltered. Mr. G. El. Lawrence, however, had stated the practice was abandoned, and, under these circumstances, it would be going rather too far to suppose that gentlemen in the wine and spirit trade would, if appointed, influence the constables in the force. Mr. H. HORNET supported the motion on the ground that it was the duty of the council to be exceedingly care ful that no suspicion of influence of any kind rested upon the police. Mr. TINNE said he had seen no instance of corruption on the. Watch Board, as seemed to be imputed. If he had he should have supported the motion, but as there were no grounds for it, he should give it his opposition. Mr. THORNHILL supported the motion as a matter of principle, and because no harm would follow its adoption. Mr. GRIFFITHS opposed the motion. Mr. BIRKETT asked where this principle of Mr. Earle's, if onca adopted, was to stop ? It would apply, with equal force, to the Finance Committee. He supposed there was no member of that committee but who was an owner of , 1 real property ; they had to sit upon the property of the ; corporation, but once adopt this principle and they would • be excluded, Some men might go even further than Mr. Earle, and say that no man who ever got drunk should be eligible for any committee. (Laughter.) He should divide the council, upon this question, even if he stood alone. Mr. EARLE.—I will divide the council myself. You need be under no apprehension about that. (A laugh.) Mr. PARKER did not rise to oppose the motion of his worthy colleague. (Loud laughter.) He wished it to be carried out to the fullest extent; and be would mention that great dissatisfaction prevailed in the town, from the circumstance of Magistrates being upon the Watch Com mittee. He contended, however, that the motion was an attack upon people in trade; it was made against them, not because they were brewers or spirit dealers, but be cause it was thought the dignity of the council could not be supported by tradesmen. And the object was to exclude tradesmen from the council 'altogether; but the middle classes; would ;speedily make the gentlemen, who talked and acted in this spirit, know where the power rested. Mr. Alderman TURNER bore testimony to the inde pendence which the gentlemen in the trades affected by the motion had shown whilst serving upon the Watch Committee. Ile had never seen gentlemen more anxious to do their duty impartially. Mr. MANN viewed the motion as an attack against in dividuals, and on that account he should oppose it. Mr. RonaNsoN confirmed Mr. Parker's statement as to the presence of magistrates upon the Watch Commit tee being considered a great grievance. Brewers and spi rit dealers were as eligible for the committee as any other class ; and during the time he had been a member of it, he had never seen anything improper on their part. Sir T. BRANCKER remarked that if brewers or spirit dealers were elected into the council they were eligible to serve upon all committees. Mr. EARLE replied, and the council divided, when there appeared— For the motion . Against it Majority against the motion .. 30 The following is a list of the members who voted : For : Councillors Thornhill, Rathbone, Chalmer, Preston, Evans, H. Hornby, Aikin, Higgins, Earle, J. Hornby, Parker, Glazebrook, and T. Lloyd; and Alderman Law rence : 14.—Against : Councillors, Shand, Atherton, T. Shaw, Hill, Littledale, jun., Middleton, Stewart, Tinne, Henderson, Robinson, Toulmin, Aspinall, Royden, So thern, G. G. llornby, Wood, Birkett, Pemberton, Reade, Kaye, Procter, Kilshaw, J. B.

Brancker, Turner, Sands, Sxainson, Crook, Nicol, Bramley-Moore, Molyneux, Leigh, Bushby, Chilton, and Lawrence : 44. Mr. PARKER then moved that all magistrates be ex cluded from the Watch Committe ; but, after a brief dis cussion, the motion was withdrawn. The next business on the paper was the appointment ofr Committees. On the motion of Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE the follow ing gentlemen were appointed the— I' iNsa4cE COMMITTEE.—Sir Thomas Brancker, James Aspinall. Wm. Birkett, H. B. B. Blundell, John Holmes, G. G. Hornby, H. Hornby, :R. Houghton, jun.—J. S. Leigh, Thomas Sands, Thomas Shaw, Heywood Turner, John Stewart, (Vice C. Bushell,) James Lawrence, (Vice D. Hodgson.) G. H. Lawrence. Mr. HA.RBORD moved the following gentlemen consti tute the. — WATCH CoMMITTEE.—Messrs. Jas. Lawrence, Glaze brook, Harbord, Henderson, Hill, G. G. Hornby, Booker, Alderman Houghton, J. Pemberton, H. Hornby, Kilshaw, G. H. Lawrence, Atherton, Parker, Littledale, William Preston, Proctor, Southern, R. L. Jones, Thornhill, Tinne, Turner, Evans, Earle, James Brancker. Mr. HIGGINs objected to Mr. Harbord being a mem ber of this committee, on the ground that that gentle man was not only a member of an Orange Lodge but the President of an Orange Society. He characterised the Orange Society as an illegal body. Mr. PARKER said they had certainly arrived at novel days, and this proposition was quite new. (Hear.) The gentleman had mistaken the law of the land. It had been clearly shewn that Orange Lodges were benefit societies, and that they were as_legal as any other lodges, therefore the Illegality charged had no weight, because it was con trary to the fact. It had been clearly established that Orange Lodges, as he had just said, were as legal as any other lodges : and be appealed with confidence to the Town Clerk, whether they were not as legal as the Odd Fellows and other lodges. Mr. GLAZEBROOK presumed Mr. Higgins bad read the rules of the Orange lodges, before he ventured to charac terise them as illegal. (Hear.) If he hal he must have sen there was nothin: illegal in them. (Cheers ) He (Mr. GlazArook) was not himself a member of the association ; he had, however, been asked t. , .) join it, but be declined, not because he objected to the rules or regu lations of the body, but because be had sufficient engage ments to attend to. There was, certain l y nothing illegal in the society. Mr. PARKER called for the Tovrn-clerk's opinion upon the question of legality • Mr. HARnORD, in this matter, would throw himself entirely upon the council. Without entering upon the question of the legality of the iustitutio I, if there were objections to him individually, the Council had only to request him to withdraw his name from the Committee, and he would immediately do so. He considered, how ever, that he was as loyal a subject as any man in Liver pool, that he was as independent in character and action as asy member of that council, and as able to per form the duties confided to him ; and he trusted that, having been connected with public boards for a period of twelve or fourteen years, he had never neglected his duty. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HIGGINS said he would abide by the decision of the Town-Clerk. If he stated the Orange Society was not illegal, he would be satisfied ; but it had recently been. stated that the Orange Society in Ireland was illegal, and for ought he (Mr. Higgins) knew to the contrary, the English society might be a branch of the same body. Mr. HARBORD: I belong to no illegal society. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HIGGINS said he went upon the principle, that any person belonging to an illegal society was not a fit person to have the conduct of the police force entrusted to his management. Mr. HARBORD: I repeat that I do not belong to any illegal society. Mr. PROCTER asked whether it was competent for the Council to discuss the legality or the illegality of the Orange body ? If Mr. Harbord was competent to be a member of the Council, he was surely qualified to be a member cf the Watch Committee. The TowN CLERK said he could not answer the question of legality, unless he had before him the rules of the society of which Mr. Harbord was a member. Mr. H ARBOB.D : They were laid before the late Town Clerk. Mr. GLAZEBROOK : Mr. Higgins, have you read the rules of the society ? Mr. HIGGINS : I have not. (Hear.) Mr. HARBOB.D: Will you, then, venture positively to assert that I belong to an illegal society ? (Hear, hear.) Mr. HIGGINS did not answer this question. Mr. AIKIN said the question was how far Mr. Harbord could, whilst he was chairman of this society, impartially perform his duties as a member of the Watch Committee. Mr. RATHBONE stated that the Orange association in Ireland had lately had a meeting, at which they acknow ledged the association was an illegal society ; and they were now re-composing their rules, so as to make the society, if possible, a legal body. He (Mr. Rathbone) had not beard if this had been accomplished. He was bound to assume that the Orange society i❑ England and Ireland were the same ; if, therefore, it was illegal in Ireland, as declared by its own leaders, it could not be legal in England. [ Mr. CHALMER took the same view. r The council then divided, when there appeared— ; For Mr. Harbord's election .... .... 45 Against it .... . • • ••... 11 Majority for Mr. Harbord .... 34 The votes were recorded as follows :—For : Councillors Shand, Atherton, Shaw, Thornhill, Hill, Littledale, jun., Middleton, Stewart, Tinne, Henderson, Robinson, Toul min, Aspinall, Royden, Sothern, G.

Mr. HiootNs, after some remarks in opposition to the present system of education in the Corporation Schools, moved that they be forthwith sold. The MAYOR intimated that this motion could not be entertained to-day. Mr. AIKIN recommended the withdrawal of the mo tion, and intimated that if it were persisted in at another time Mr. Higgins would not stand alone. The motion was then withdrawn, and the committee appointed. The following committees were then appointed : GAOL.—Messrs. J. Aiken, J. Lawrence, John Holrne, Hugh llornby, T.

Mr. EVANS, Mr. TURNER, and Mr. KILSHAW bore h'gh testimony to the good conduct of Mr. Stonehouse, and said he was one of the most efficient servants of the corporation.—The motion for the increased salary was unanimously carried. Mr. MOLYNEUX moved the appointment of Alice Hardcastle to the situation of second-mistress of the North School, at a salary of £45 per annum, and of Jane Gore as assistant-mistress, at a salary of £3O per annum, and also the appointment of Sarah Jenkins to the situa tion of head-mistress of the South School, at a salary of £6O per annum, the consideration of which was post poned at the special council on the 20th ultimo. Mr. CHALMF.R opposed the appointment of the two assistant mistresses on financial grounds, and undertook to show, on a future occasion, that other schools of the same description were carried on at half t 4- The motion was not seconded, and. cation, the council adjourned a lit" Sir T.

At the present moment they are threatened with a famine, by the partial loss of their potatoe crop ; and they are already calling upon England's charity, and upon the favour of govern ment, by relaxing in their behalf the import duties upon. foreign food, to save them from starvation. In the mean time what are they doing to help themselves? Tue fol lowing paragraph, from a letter of the Times " Commis sioner," dated Limerick, Nov. 3, will furhish the an- "Ii is known that exposure of the potatoes to the dries up t.' e diseased sap on their surface, and arrests their de cay. it is also known that putting them through quick lime has the same effect. The people, too, generally, know how to grate the potatoe into water and save the farina or starch, which, when mixed with flour, or even alone, makes wholesome bread, and will keep for years. The sound part' of the diseased potatoe may thus be saved. Unless the disease be arrested, it rapidly destroys the whole potatoe. Now. with the knowledge of these facts and famine before them, it will hardly be con ceived in England that Saturday last, a fine, bright, sunshiny day, when the potatoes might have been exposed to the wind and sun, and the worst grated into flour, was proclaimed as a holiday (no doubt for some good purpose), and not a man was to be seen at work in the whole county, whilst theirpotatoes were rotting ! Some even will net take the trouble to dig them, be cause they are diseased, though there is not a question about it, but much of them, though rotten, may be saved. The town of Limerick was like a fair. There were thousands of people idling about in the streets, and at night getting up party fights, and they were leaving their food, which, in a few months, they will be begging from England, to rot for want of exertion, Lecaude ii Was a holiday I" Humiliating as is the ignorance and fatuity here evinced by the peasantry, we are still more struck with the wick edness of these by whom they are led and to whom they look up for advice.
