be - foreigner—large district of corn land will be thrown nut of cultivation—and consequently, In times of continental scarcity, or of war, (our home produce being inadequate,) the price to the consumer will be far more extravagant than it ever can be under the regulations of the present fluctu- ating scale. On other subjects of political importance, I can confi dently appeal to the past as a guarantee that your interests for the future will not be neglected should you again entrust them to my care I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient, humble Servant, P. DE M. GREY EGERTON Oulton Park, June, 1841 TO THE GETRY, CLERGY, AND ELTORS OF THE SOU T HER N DIVISION OF TH E COUNTY OF CHESTER. GENTLEMEN, Dissolution of Parliament being evidently'at hand, I beg CRISIS A most respectfully to announce that the ledge given by me to a ff ord you, at this EVENTFUL CRISIS an opportunity of recording your votes, I am now ready to edeem. The present Government—no longer a independent Go vernment—too weak to administer the aff rs of this country, and too tenacious of the advantages of Bic e to relinquish them, has succumbed to popular clam r and proposed a total change in our just and admirable ystem of CORN LAWS—a measure which, if carried, ould not only de prive the English landowner and farmer of their property and the English labourer of his means of subsistence, but the manufacturer of his best and most certain market, thereby proving ultimately as injurious to the one interest as imme diately destructive to the other. Members of the laisx ROMAN CATHOLIC PARTY now form a portion of the administration of the country, which, in my opinion is incompatible with THE SAFETY OF OUR PROTESTANT CHURCH AND PROTESTANT LIBERTIES. _ A Government thus composed, and so regardless of the peace and well-being of the nation, as the existing one has proved itself, by the introduction of measures alike detri mental to both, is altogether unworthy, and undeserving of our confidence. _ _ _ Having en a former occasion issued an address, I will only now repeat the declaration then made, that " I submit to the thraldom of no party ;" and, in the event of a dissolution of Parliament, I shall throw myself on the support of those Electors who, like me, are determined to take that INi:wt.. PENDENT COURSE which I conscientiously believe the exist ing state of affairs requires of every friend (whether Church man or Dissenter) to the PROTESTANT RELIGION, and of every well-wisher to his Country. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, With sincere respect. Your very faithful servant, JOHN TOLLEMACHE Tilston Lodge, May 31, 1841 Insurana pxtirts. YORKSHIRE FIRE AND LIFE NSURANCE COMPANY.

RIOTS AT CARLOW.—The whole of the county of Car.. low is, at this moment, in a state of open rebellion. Parties of armed mobs are parading the country, and breaking open the houses of any person supposed to be favourable to the conservative candidate, and carry them off by force, and beat them most inhumanly, unless they promise to cote for O'Connell. A large force of troops have arrived, whicli we hope, be the means of quelling these insurrectionary movemems. It was currently reported in Liverpool last night that Colonel Bruen, the constitutional can didate for the county, had been shot, but we have not been able to mete= the irounds of the rumour. $ ELLING OPF I SILK MERCERY 84 LINEN DRAPERY GOODS 114, BOLD-STREET, (OPPOSITE THE SAVINGS' BANK,) DECLINING BUSINESS.

This elegant solution is produced by the aid of their power ful machinery skilfully directed, and consists of the purest distilled water, and the best carbonate of magnesia.

TOHN CLARKE and CO., 50, ISLINGTON, Liverpool, e.l SOLE MANUFACTURERS of the CLARKESIAN HYDRAULIC DOUBLE ACTION FORCE acid LIFT PUMP, respectfully invite the attention of Slripowners, Merchants, Proprietors of Mines, and the Publi6 generally to their NEWLY-INVENTED PUMP, whi 41, from its simplicity of construction, is admirably adapte for Fire En gines, Ships' Pumps, Mining Operations, an general pur poses : it may be applied with certain success o all works of magnitude where Hydraulic Machines are in ispensable. The Patented invention consists in the app cation to Force Pumps of a Water Chamber of any desired orm, and which may be made of Brass, Iron, or any oth 'Metal, being di vided longitudinally into two compartme s by a Feather, which is cast in one piece with it, so tha when the Water Chamber is fastened by screws to an upper and lower hood, it will be rendered perfectly secure and watertight; whilst, by loosening the screws, the upper hood may be removed, and the Discharge Valves examined and cleaned at the same time by the removal of the lower hood, to which the Suction Valves are attached: those Valves also may be examined. This Pump is distinguished as much by the excellence of its. interior construction as by its economical arrangements, and being capable of discharging much more Water than any other Pump. Its efficiency has been proved by some of the first practical authorities and experienced Engineers, who have universally expressed their approbation of its simple and effectual plan and mode of operation, and its application to works of any magnitude. The Patent Pump may be seen in operation, and every in formation afforded, on application to JOHN CLARKE & CO.

This vessel, which arrived here on Saturday last, on her first trip from Glasgow, forms a splendid addition to our steam coasting marine, and is in every point highly creditable to the parties to whom she belongs. She is an iron ship, of very beautiful model—furnishing, indeed, another specimen of the skill and enterprise of our northern neighbours in naval architecture and engine building. In adaptation for quick sailing, in internal elegance and general equipment, she is quite equal to, or rather, we should say, surpasses, all her predecessors from the same port —a port long and justly famed for admirable steamers. We were politely shown through every part of the vessel, by her experienced and affable commander, Captain M'Arthur ; and, friendly as we are to that honourable competition in ship-building in other ' sea-ports, which has conduced to the celebrity of our own, we submit the following brief description, advising, however, all who are curious in such matters to go on board and judge for themselves. The following are the dimensions and capacity of the Princess Royal, and size, power, &c., of her engines : Extreme length Breadth inside paddle-boxes Breadth over paddle-boxes Depth of hold .. Admeasurement BOO tons. Engines, 2 of 190 horse power each 380 horse-power. Diameter of cylinders Stroke of engines 6 feet 3 inches. Diameter of paddle-wheel The vessel, and also the engines, (which are vertical,) were built by Messrs. Tod and M‘Gregor, engineers, of Glasgow, and both are constructed on the most approved principles which modern science supplies. It is enough to say, in proof of their power and adequacy, that she made one of the shortest passages on her first trip ever recorded, having fre quently accomplished fifteen geograhical miles an hour. She has a beautiful flush deck, forming a spacious promenade, the distance from the stern to the paddle-shaft being about one hundred feet. Her stern and quarter-galleries are en riched with carving, and her figure-head terminates in an allegorical heraldric shield, in the form of the Nautilus shell, with an emblazoned figure in relief representing Youth. The erections on deck, comprising in one range the cook house, engine-room, &c., arc exteriorly ornamented with columns and arches in semi-projecture, which have a hand some architectural appearance. The companion is unique, resembling a little temple of the good old times. In the window lighting the staircase, is a stained glass window, with the arms of Liverpool in the centre. The saloon, or main cabin, is a spacious and truly splendid and admirably designed apartment. It is in the old English style of architecture, with sides of beautiful and appropriate polished wainscot. At the stern end, which widens to the full breadth of the ship, the sofa'd seats, surmounted by carved oak railings from a semicircle, giving the whole the appearance of a theatre. This portion may be divided, when required, from the fore part by a rich crimson curtain, which has a remarkably pleasing effect. On each side of the nar rower part are state-rooms, splendidly fitted up with marble topped basin stands, and other luxurious modern appliances conducive to elegance and convenience. In the empanelled work, and within old English gilded frames, are six beautiful paintings on papier made", and other embellish ments, from the deservedly-celebrated manufactory of Al essrs. Jennings and Bettridge, of Birmingham. These paint ings, the colouring of which is vivid and brilliant as that of the finest miniatures, represent respectively the coronation of her present majesty, her marriage, the bap tism of the " Princess Royal ", Prince Albert and Victoria watching the infant in its cradle, the ruins at Virginia Water, the Queen and the Prince riding out to Windsor, flower pieces, &c. These have called forth much admiration, and we may add, excited much astonishment. The roof is painted in delicate French white, with gilded mouldings, and orna mental groining, pendants, and carved work, in true old En glish style. The furniture is of corresponding design and elegance, being all expensively fashioned, carved, and polish ed, in English oak. The sofas are covered with embossed velvet. There are superbly carved sideboards, oak and gold —with marble tops. The room is lighted by two oblong square deck lights, on the painted glass of which are beauti ful pictures of the respective members of the royal family. There are also four sideport windows, admitting of ample light and ventilation.

WARD MEETINGS. STREET AND EXCHANGE. Tile electors of these wards met on Friday evening in the scions assembly-room of the Queen's Arms Hotel, for the CASTLI purpose of heariog an explanation of the political sentiments of Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell. The room was crowded to excess, and many hundreds were obliged to remain out side, unable to obtain admission. PETER HOPE, Esq., having been called to the chair, ad dressed the meeting in a very eloquent and impressive speech, in support of conservative and protestant principles. He quoted the speeches of all the monarchs of the House of Brunswick down to George the Third, to show that they felt that they sat upon the throne of these realms upon no other principle. He particularly mentioned that George the Third, in his first speech after his accession, used these me morable words—".l have resolution to descend from the throne to a cottage ; I have resolution, if need be, to de scend from the throne and lay my head upon the block ; but I have not resolution to depart from my coronation oath. The worthy chairman ,concluded by reading from the ad dresses of Lord, Sandon and Mr. Cresswell some passages breathing the warmest attachment to the protestant church as established by law, and to our ancient institutions. On these grounds he strongly recommended them to the electors of Castle-street and Exchange 'Wards. (Loud cheers.) Mr. GEORGE GREEN, in a spirited address, moved the first resolution as follows—" That at a time when all the great interests of the country are so recklessly agitated by the present ministers, for the mere purpose of retaining place, it is the duty of the electors of Liverpool to select men of known constitutional principles to represent this import ant borough in parliament. Mr. POTTER seconded the resolution, and it was carried with enthusiastic cheers. Mr. GEORGE GRANT moved the second resolution, which was to the effect that the public conduct of Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell had merited the high approbation of the meeting, and that the electors present pledged themselves to use all legal and constitutional means to secure their re election. (Loud cheers.) Mr. WILKINSON seconded the resolution, and it was im mediately adopted. Lord SANDON then presented himself, and was most cor dially received. After alluding to the enthusiasm with which he and his learned colleague were received wherever they went, by all classes of the peaple, the noble lord said he would trespass for a few moments upon the attention of the meet ing with rather a dry subject. Topics of what was commonly called political economy were not the most entertaining to crowded assemblies, and even when introduced into the House of Commons, gentlemen who were not compelled to stay took up their hats and walked away. Little favour, then, could such subjects expect to meet in still more nu merous assemblies ; but, at the same time, as falsehoods and delusions were being attempted to be practised upon the pub lic mind, perhaps he should be excused for alluding to them. (Hear.) The cry was set up for cheap bread; but the meet ing knew perfectly well that there was a very easy answer to that, namely, that with cheap bread came low wages. (Hear.) And however our opponents might choose to say, that that was no answer, or one which only could proceed from those who were ignorant of the first principles of political economy, he would take the liberty of stating that such had been and was the opinion of a great authority. A VOICE.—IS it Colonel Williams ? Lord SANDON.—No, it was not the authority of Colonel Williams that he meant to set up ; but he meant to set up the opinion of another colonel against him, and that was Colonel Torrens. (Hear, hear.) Although that gentleman was not perhaps so well known to the meeting as the gallant officer who was so active in the political affairs of Liverpool, Colonel Torrens was nevertheless well known as a political economist, and he was a much-quoted authority upon the corn-law ; he was no personal bigot to the landed interest, but a regular free trader, and was considered one of the greatest authorities upon that subject. He (Lord Sandon) would then set the opinion of one colonel against the other. Colonel Torrens had written a book upon the external corn trade, and in that book he said, every reduction in the money price of corn reduces the money price of labour." He was not speaking of their going together day by day, but of their following each other in the long run—" and if this be comes a country where corn is cheap, wages will inevitably follow." Perhaps the meeting had heard of Malthus, a celebrated philosopher, much quoted. In the beginning of his life he published a much-admired production in favour of free trade in corn ; but, later in life, having seen the effects of various experiments in free trade in corn, he came to an entirely different conclusion. (Cries of hear, hear.) His argument was this—" Ido not abandon my original position that free trade in cern, if it could be carried into effect, would be a benefit; but I have seen enough of the practices of foreign countries, to know that if we establish a free trade in corn, we shall not be benefited; for just when we want corn, they will interfere to prevent us having it." (Hear.) He looked at France, Prussia, and Odessa, and saw that when we most wanted corn they would absolutely pro hibit the exportation of it, or, by high duties, would make it too dear for the English people ; therefore, he said that free trade in corn, if it could be carried ont, might still be the best plan, and that, for a time, it might be carried out ' • but whenever we most wanted the principle to be carried into effect, foreign countries would refuse to allow their corn to be supplied. "I, therefore," said he. abandon the principle in practice, although, abstractedly, I think it the best." (Hear.) Now we, as statesmen, must look at this subject, not as we would in our closets, abstractedly, but deal with it practicaliy, as with the concerns of life. Malthus said, " Wages will finally be determined by the money price of corn, and by the demand for labour." " Upon the labouring classes," he said. " the effects of opening our ports for the free importation of corn will be greatly to lower their wages, and subject them to much greater fluctuations of price." (Hear, hear.) In addition to these opinions, he (Lord San don) had on another occasion quoted that of Mr. Huskisson, who told us precisely the same thing—that the free importa tion of corn would not only lower the price of corn, but that wages would be reduced with infinitely more rapidity. (Cheers.) Therefore, whatever difference of opinion there might be upon this much-controverted question, we might shelter ourselves under the opinions of these great men, and at least have some pretensions not to be considered fools, dolts, and blockheads, if we did not fall in with the doctrines of these new-light philosophers. (Hear and cheers.) We were always told that in case of our taking corn from foreign countries, they would infallibly take in return our manufac. tures. We knew, practically, the reverse. (Hear.) For the last three years we had taken an immense proportion of reign corn, owing to our deficient harvests, and they had not taken an increased proportion of our manufactures. We knew it was not always the same parties who wanted our ma nufactures from whom we wanted our corn ; but that those from whom we took our corn would take our corn, and with the gold taking that which gave a stimulus to the whole in dustry of the country, and to the general rate of prices ; and we know from experience, that if we did but furnish that gold to foreign countries, they would employ it for the purpose, not of raising fresh corn, but of establishing rival manufac tures. (Hear and cheers.) The noble lord here related some facts illustrative of this assertion. But we were told that, at any rate, whatever effect the export of corn might have when it only took place occasionally under our existing system, if we had a regular trade, there would be established a re gular exchange. That certainly was possible, and specula tion might be exercised upon the possibility of such a result; but what would be the first consequence ? (Hear.) At this moment the specie in the Bank of England amounted to between four and five millions. How soon would that be exhausted by a drain for gold, if we had to purchase a mil lion or two of quarters of corn for foreign countries? (Hear, hear, and great cheering.) However much the system might be changed, the first result must be the exportation of gold, for the effect of a change of system could not be perceived, nor an exchange of manufactures be at once established. .The first result, then, must be, however it might answer in the long run, that which had already happened under the existing system : we must pay for our corn in gold, and the drain for that gold must reduce the Bank of England to the s ery brink of ruin. (Hear.) This feeling had so strongly operated upon the mind of Mr. Horsley Palmer, one of the oldest bank directors, although an advocate for free trade, and who had signed a petition against protection, that when he saw how fatal the result would be to the Bank of Eng land, he protested publicly in the strongest manner, on the part of the bank, against those principles being adopted. (Hear.) What would be the effect on the exchanges? Every body knew the difference between the times when money was scarce and when it was abundant ; everybody knew the dif ference it made in trade in England, whether money was cheap or dear—between the times when every man was obliged to limit his transactions into the narrowest compass, and when they were justified in entering into speculations. Would not the effect be, when the Bank of England nar rowed its circulation, screwed down its issues, called in every thing owing to it, for the purpose of keeping the exchange, be most disastrous upon the existing state of industry ? Would it not absolutely crush those manufacturers which were now, he regretted to say, labouring under considerable depression? (Hear, hear, and continued cheers.) Our op ponents told us, that if we had a regular trade in corn we should not have those sudden demands for bullion ; but let him examine this question for a moment. Suppose, in the common run of good years, that we, by an established trade in corn, habitually imported two millions of quarters, and that these two millions of quarters were paid for by British manufacturers. So far so well ; there was no drain for gold. But under any circumstances we must be exposed to fluctuations and bad harvests, and we should want more corn at those times. If in average years we wanted two millions of quarters, in bad years we should want four millions ; for this difference we should be obliged to send out gold, as under the present system. (Hear, hear.) We should not be able to pay for this difference in manufactures, by the mere inability to send out manufactures for the extra ordinary demand for corn - which would arise occasionally. (Hear.) Whilst he said these things, he did not intend to say that the details of the existing system were the very best which could be devised. He believed they were not. (Hear, hear.) lie believed, that in the whole of this question we were proceeding by experiment ; that the principle was cor rect, but not carried out as it ought to be. He believed the protection was higher than it ought to be—that the transi tions in the duties were quicker than they ought to be, and that better provision might be made for the prevention of improper speculation; but these were details which required calm consideration in the closet, and consultation with the most experienced persons before adopted. (Hear.) He thought he might truly say, that these were not the questions which, after all, would govern the action of the constituency upon this occasion. He might appeal to them in defence of the principles he had taken the liberty of stating, not only to the abstract discussions upon opinions, but to the manner in Which 'himself and his colleagues had been received that morning in the great corn-market in this town, as evidence that they at least were not considered such heretics as to be rejected by some of the most enlightened men in that par particular question that the electors were ticular trade. (Hear, hear.) But , as he had said before, it was not upon this to try them. (Hear.) He believed their worthy chairman and himself did not quite agree upon the sugar question. The chairman would rather have a reduction in it, and he (Lord Sandon) had had the honour of presenting a petition from him and others to parliament for more than even the government proposed ; but it gave him no great pain to see that we differed as to a few shillings in the price of sugar, seeing that the chairman would not for that a bandon the great principles of protestantism. B ut if he (Lor d Sandon) and others had sinned in sugar, m ight they not a s k w h et h er mi nisters had not sinned in tea ? if the y had p r evented the peo ple putting sugar so cheap into their tea as t hey might desire, might they not blame the government for raising the price of the tea into which they put it, and that too upon no principle at all, but by the most gross neglect of one of the greatest branches of trade, and one of the greatest interests of the coun try? The noble lord then described the Conduct of the govern ment in relation to the ad valorem duty on tea, which they were obliged to abandon, and said they were always botching whatever they undertook. They were always trying experi ments with great interests, thus unsettling the confidence of all. He then asked in what matters of commerce the present government merited confidence? Had th ey merited it f or their activity in getting rid of the blockade of Buenos Ayres and Mexico, for their promptitude in settling the differences about the duties on oil, or the still more important question of the exportation of sulphur? As to the sulphur question, it was the gross neglect of Lord Paluaeriton who allowed it, in the absence of the minister from his station, to get into such a position that we were on the brink of a war with Naples, and it was only at the cannon's mouth that it was amicably arranged. (Hear.) H ad we' any reason to thank them for the rapidity wit h whi ch they had settled a treaty of commerce with Spain and Portugal? Had we any reason to thank them for the position which British trade and navigation enjoyed with the trade of Portugal more especially, from which we were almost entirely excluded? He believed there was hardly a British ship which traded between Portugal and Liverpool, or between Havana and Liverpool, and that it was all owing to the want of energy upon the part of her majesty's goverpment. (Cheers.) These were things which, he put it to the meeting, maid not have been settled at once, to the satisfaction of every one, by the Duke of Wellington. (Hear.) The noble lord then referred to the acts of " the duke" while foreign minister, showing that, in his day, no complaint from commercial men ever went unredressed, and that his conduct was very opposite to the neglect and procrastination which distinguished the ac tions in similar cases of the present ministry. Had any mem ber of that administration any grounds to appeal to a great commercial constituency like this for support? He thought not. (Cheers.) The noble lord concluded by some remarks upon the general policy of ministers, which elicited great ap probation. Mr. CRESSWELL then addressed the meeting, and after some appropriate introductory observations, he said that mi nisters had appealed to the people for a renewal of that lease of office which they had so unworthily held. They were now in abeyance; the last lease was out, and they knew full well they were holding over. Their term had expired; the House of Commons had voted that they had no confidence in them, and by refusing to quit office they had. been guilty of a violation of the spirit of the constitution ; they were there fore holding over in violation of the law, and they must be served with an ejectment. (Cheers.) Some one asked a noble duke, after the want of confidence vote, whether that division would not move them ? and the reply was, " No, nothing will move them but a division of police." Great laughter.) That would be serving a sort of Welsh ejectment upon them ; but the question now to be considered was, would the people renew their lease or not ? (Cries of "No.") Well, but they would not refuse the renewal to a good tenant ; and if the meeting pleased he would liken the throne and the prerogatives of the crown to the capital mansion. Was that in good repair? (Loud cries of " No.") NV hen her most gracious majesty came to the throne, she was hailed by the voices of all her people, and no doubt she retained their affections undiminished, because, in spite of all that evil councillors had done, they felt that her majesty was attached to the principles which seated her royal ancestors upon the throne. (Hear, and cheers.) But had her prerogative been placed in no danger? See to what condition it was reduced in the House of Com mons but a few nights ago, in the case of those chartists who, having embarked in rebellion against her authority, had been condeinneLl by law to the sentence of transportation for their crime. A petition for their release was presented to the house. It was the prerogative of the crown, and the crown had the only right to dispense mercy when it was desirable, but the prayer of that petition was considered by the House of Commons, and the vote of the House of Com mons was carried in the negative by the voice of the speaker alone. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Where were her majesty's ministers to attend to the spirit of the constitution at that time? They were gone. (Hear.) They knew they were about to appeal to the public ; and whilst they charged the conservatives most foully and falsely with a union with the chartists, they basely absented themselves from the house lest they themselves should have been compelled to reject a chartist petition. (Hear, and cheers.) Another important branch of the farm entrusted to the management and cultiva tion of her majesty's ministers was the finances of the coun try. In what repsir had they left them ? (Hear, hear.) Look at the titres taken off by the preceding government. The p3ople were relieved by them to the extent of fifteen millions. (Hear, hear.) Look at the present government for the last ten years ; the people had been relieved to the extent of only three millions, and instead of a surplus of one million and a halt, they had a deficiency of two millions. (Hear, hear.) Were the finances of the country, then, in such repair that they would desire a renewal of the lease upon the tenure on which these men had held it ? (Loud cheers, and cries of no, no.) Look at our foreign relations ; were they such as the people could desire ? (Renewed cheers, and loud cries of no, no.) France had become peaceable in her inclinations —not so much by the course taken by the ministry, as by the anxious desire for peace and harmony expressed by Sir It. Peel and his conservative associates in the House of Com mons ; and he (Mr. Cresswell) believed that his opinion had more weight in maintaining the peace of Europe than any thing done by the administration. (Hear, hear.) These were the great features of the management of the constitu tion when entrusted to the present ministry ; and he did not think, upon a careful review of them, that the country would again place them in the same situation. He hoped they would show their desire to entrust the management to better hands—to more diligent, faithful, and skiltul husbandmen. (Loud cheers.) The learned gentleman added a few other remarks, and then concluded amidst universal cheers. Mr. PAuxt:a. moved, and Mr. MOLYNEUX seconded, a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was carried by accla mation, and the meeting separated. MEETING OF THE SAIL-MAKERS After the meeting at the Queen's Arms had terminated, the candidates proceeded to the sail-makers'-rooms, in Great Crosshall-street, where they addressed about two hundred of the electors belonging to that industrious and constitu tional body, in short but apposite speeches, in which they touched upon the several fallacies, respecting cheap corn, sugar, and timber. They were received throughout in a most enthusiastic manner, and left for the Carpenters'-rooms, in Bond• street, to address that indnstrious and constitutional body, amid the loud and enthusiastic plaudits of the multi tude who had collected in the street, and who were unable to obtain admittance, owing to the crowded state of the building. MEETING OF THE SHIP CARPENTERS From Great Crosshall-street, as we have said, our repre sentatives proceeded to Bond-street, where they were greeted with the hearty applause of upwards of one thousand of the ship-carpenters of the port. Mr. THOMAS PRICE, one of the body, presided, and in an excellent speech opened the proceedings. He said he wished to impress on the minds of Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell, whom they were proud, to meet as their candi dates, and whom they hoped shortly to see as their repre sentatives again, that no person in the community had the power of exercising any control over the votes of the ship wrights of Liverpool. He believed the shipwrights had always voted on constitutional principles. Since the days of Canning and Huskisson they had never swerved from the maintenance of. those principles, except upon one occasion that a puny little fellow-townsman had come among them, making large promises, but failed to carry them into prac tice. (Laughter.) They had at present another gentleman coming forward, who also claimed to be a fellow-townsman, but they were somewhat wide awake for him. (Renewed cheers.) The first occasion upon which the former went to parliament he bad attempted to disfranchise a large portion of the electors of the borough ; it was, therefore, to be hoped that there was not a single shipwright in the town who would nffer to vote against the present candidates, who had invari ably supported the rights and interests of the body. (Great applause.) However much some of the shipwrights might differ from others in religidus and political opinions, they should all remember that if a reduction in some of the tim ber duties took place their trade would be blasted for ever. They should also remember that if it were not for the North American trade, the ship-carpenters would be absolutely starving in Liverpool, inasmuch as there were fifty North American vessels in the docks for one English. (Hear, hear.) There was one evil—namely, the apprenticeship sys tem—existing in their trade, which he thought it right to bring under the notice of their candidates. He believed it was not generally known that there were seven hundred ap prentices in London, three-fourths of whom had never been bound. lf, therefore, a petition from the shipwrights to the House of Commons condemnatory of this system should go forward, he hoped their representatives would present and support it to the utmost of their ability. (Hear, hear.) Their trade wanted to have no illegal combination ; they merely sought for fair English liberty ' • for it was a melan choly fact, that the shipwrights had often walked along the quoys of Liverpool unemployed, .while the apprentices were doing their work. If there existed a law on the statute-book which made it incumbent on apprentices to be regularly in dentured, the time had arrived when that law ought to be enacted. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion, the chairman hoped that the shipwrights at large would rally round the standard of Sandon and Cresswell, conscious as he was that they were their best friends, and sat down amid loud applause. Lord SANDON then rose, and the cheering was renewed for a considerable length f time. He said it was indeed highly gratifying to him to find that all the great bodies of men connected with the shipping interests of the port were more unanimous on the present occasion than ever they had been before, and that they were more than ever sensible that his principles and those of his colleague would conduce to the prosperity of Liverpool, and the extension of British shipping, commerce, and industry. He had been just ad dressing a numerous body of sail-makers, from whom he heard that they never were so uanimous as they were on the present occasion. The same might be said of the ship-car penters. (Loud cheers.) The cause in which they were engaged was not the cause of the candidates, but of the community ; it was the cause of the prosperity of British, that was attempted to be sacrificed to the promotion of fo reign, industry. (Hear, and cheers.) The question the chairman had just proposed regarding the apprenticeship system, was a very important one • and it was impossible, at the first moment of the subject being mooted, to deliver an opinion one way or the other. (Hear, hear.) The question required consideration, and he was sure the ship-carpenters would not require their candidates to express a hasty opinion upon so grave a subject, and which had come upon them so suddenly. The facts stated were quite sufficient to prove that it was of the highest importance, and as such it would receive the best consideration that he could afford it, if he should happen to be returned. (Loud cries of " You must.") They knew that he had always been averse to holding out flattering promises, or to tell them on the hustings that which he might be obliged afterwards to unsay, and there fore he would not, say that prosperity and increased industry would be the consequences were the measures proposed by her Majesty's ministers adopted. Their principle was that of not giving protection—a principle which would be found eventually to work very disadvantageously for the public ge nerally. If they were to pay high taxes they should at the same time receive high wages, and not be reduced to the level of the foreign shipwright and to the rate of foreign la bour. He had no doubt but many of those whom he had the honour of addressing had sailed in foreign vessels, and had seers how foreign sailors were accustomed to live. Their modes of living would ill suit those who had been accustomed to English fare. If some people held up a small loaf, others had a right to hold up a black one ; and he believed that the small one, if made of good wheat, would be found to be much better than the rotten black one. (Loud cheers.) The prin ciples of her Majesty's government would be destructive of all trade, and would afford rio protection for British shipping, for all descriptions of ships could then enter into competition with English coasters. He was anxious to have protection aff rded, not to one interest merely but to all interests. He wa also anxious to have pries kept up, knowing that so lon as the latter was the case, it signified little what the pri ,e of bread might happen to be if wages bore a fair pro portion to it. It was acknowledged by philosopers that the British population were better fed and better clothed than the population of any other country, but at the same time that while wages were high labour was not dear, for the la bour of one Englishman was worth the labour of two French men. (Laughter and cheers.) If Englishmen had more wages, therefore, they executed more work ; and this was a condition of society which he was unwilling to change. (Hear.) England was in some degree affected by what af fected other nations. She could not carry on a great trade with China, for instance, without being affected by what affected her prosperity. The United States had, in recent days, been in distress, and that was one reason why the Eng lish manufacturing districts were suffering at the present mo ment. In China also, our tea trade had been interrupted by reason of the war which had broke out ; and therefore it was, that so long as ours was a country trading with a great va riety of countries, we must be subject to the changes to which they were exposed. (Cheers.) The cloud, however, was a t present merely passing over England, and shortly sunshine would break forth, enlivening the cities and towns of the land. The noble lord, after some further observations, sat down amid loud applause. Mr. CRESS WELL next presented himself, and was received with loud and long protracted cheering. He rejoiced at hav ing learned from their chairman that the shipwrights of Li verpool were under no dictation whatever. It would give him no satisfaction were he sent to parliament by men acting like slaves ; on the contrary, he would scorn the paltry seat given him as unworthy the minds of Englishmen. If he had the honour of being placed among the representatives of the people, he wished it to he by the fair and unbought voices of his fellow -countrymen , judging him by his opinions and his conduct, discarding him if he should prove himself unworthy of the trust, by supporting him by their votes and influence if he should be found faithful. (Cheers.) He rejoiced, therefore, at finding that the men whom he had the pleasure to address were superior to all control ; that they were able, by their skill and industry, to obtain their living, and that they were determined to exercise their votes in accordance with their well-known principles. (Renewed cheers.) He hoped his feelings went along with theirs. They were British artisans. They were making ships to convey the manufac tures of England throughout the world. He had, therefore, a common interest with them. (Hear.) He rejoiced that his country was supplying ships and sailors to wend out its own manufactures to foreign climes. He rejoiced more especially that to the ship-carpenters the community at large were in debted for those wooden walls which had protected England —(hear)—which were her security during war, and her glory and happiness during peace. (Hear, and cheers.) Mr. Cresswell then proceeded at some length to show that for the debt England had incurred during the war she had received full value, the horrors consequent upon the breaking out of the insurrections having been kept far away from her shores. He then proceeded to descant upon the ministerial topics of cheap timber and cheap bread, showing that if those articles were cheapened in price wages would be lowered in propor tion. He knew that certain philosophers in town disputed this assertion ; and he had seen the following question pla carded on the walls :—" What had a donkey's ears to do with the length of his tail (Great laughter.) He knew not what that had to do with.the matter- under discussion. It had abOut as much to do with it Its the length of the mast of a ship had to do with the captain's name. (Continued laughter.) But he would tell them how a donkey's eats might have something to do with the length of his tail. If the labourers were paid with donkey's ears and fed with donkey's tails, then the quantity of ears paid for labour would depend on the quantity of tail that could be purchased for subsistence. (Great laughter and cheers.) Whether this was a correct answer to the question or not he would not pretend to say, but he would never think of a donkey's ears or a donkey's tail without remembering the writer of such a clever question, whether that writer was one of the candidates for Liverpool or anybody else. In conclusion, Mr. Cresswell hoped that himself and noble colleague were entitled to the confidence of the electors, and that they should receive their support on Tuesday next. (Loud and long-continued applause.) Upon the proposition of Mr. Cresswell, seconded by Lord Sandon, thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated. NORTH AND SOUTH TOXTETH WARD The last of the numerous ward meetings which have been attended by Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell, was that of the electors of North and South Toxteth, which was held on Sa turday evening in Toxteth Hall, Mill-street. The same en thusiasm which prevailed at the other meetings towards the hon. candidates, was in an eminent degree visible in this ; indeed the whole course of proceeding seemed to be but a continuation of the applause with which their appearance was originally greeted. _ _ . _ Mr. DUNCAN GIBB was called to the chair, and he briefly described the purpose for which the meeting bad been as sembled. Mr. ALEXANDER SMITH, jun., in rising to move the first resolution, expressed his regret that the room was not ten times larger than it was, for had it been, it would have been filled to overflow. He knew that the sentiments of the elec tors in the two wards of Toxteth, were in perfect unison with his own, in favour of Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell. (Loud cheers.) These gentlemen had fought their, battles, and whatever the opposite party might say they were the true and bona fide friends of the people. (Cheers.) The resolution he had to propose was one approving of their con duct in the last session of parliament, and declaring the in tention of the electors to return them again. (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Smith) avowed himself to be one who was con nected with the colonies of this country ; and what, he would ask, would the country be without her colonies? (Hear.) What, too, would the colonies be without the support of this country ? (Hear.) If the measures which had been pro posed by her majesty's ministers, and which he was happy to say, had met with strenuous opposition from our represen tatives, were calculated to dissever this country from her colonies, they would have done an infinity of mischief to the colonies, and greatly have injured this country. (Hear.) The colonies of this country were linked together, and their cause was the same. Ministers, and those who supported them might say what they pleased on this subject, and they might, if they chose attempt to dissever society, but we were all perfectly cognisant of the fact, that we lived by one another—the artisan by the person who employed him, and the person who employed by the artisan. (Loud cheers.) In like manner the colonies and the mother country were nourished and supported by each other. (Great ap plause.) Mr. Smith concluded by moving the following re solution—" That this meeting approves unequivocally of the conduct of Lord Sandon and Cresswell Cresswell, Esq., during the period they have represented this town in parlia ment, more particularly as respects the opposition they have given to the ministerial measures proposed for the alteration of the duties upon timber, corn, and sugar, which in the opi nion of this meeting would be proved ruinous to our trade with the colonies, and to the shipping interests of this kingdom." Mr. CHARLES HORSFALL, jun., in seconding the resolu tion, declared his conviction that Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell had, in their parliamentary conduct, fulfilled all that they had promised, and that they would be triumphantly returned on Wednesday. There was scarcely one branch of trade which the questions at present before the country did not involve, and by the disturbance of which they were not the more or less injured. But the corn question, the timber question, or the sugar question, were not the real questions upon which the decision of the country was to be grounded. When the government were defeated upon Lord Stanley's Irish registration bill, they saw full well that a dissolution must take place at no distant day ; and these questions were brought before the people to excite them to throw into the back ground the real question, which was, whether this country should for the future be a Protestant country. (Loud cheers.) Whether this country shall be ruled by a Protestant government or by a popish faction, as it had been. (" Hear, hear," and cries of Never.") He called upon the Protestant and conservative electors then to do their duty. _ _ Lord SANDON then rose to address the meeting, and was loudly cheered. His lordship said, he was indeed deeply sensible of the warmth of kindness with which they had greeted not only his colleague and himself, but more espe cially the great questions which endeared them to the electors. He was peculiarly sensible of the warmth of attachment they had expressed towards that great Protestant cause which they had in hand; and although he was not desirous of shrinking from the great questions of trade which had been put forward at this moment for the purpose of blinking and hiding out of view those greater questions upon which the country was really divided, yet he was gratified to find that those attempts had been totally unsuccessful, that it was in vain to endeavour to delude them away from the main question at issue, and induce them to forget those feelings which had agitated them for many years past—(cheers)—those feelings of deep attach ment to our Protestant constitution, to bur own Protestant religion, and to the Bible, which had been the source of in struction for themselves, and which they hoped to make the source of instruction for their children. (Loud cheers.) And it was not only their deep attachment to these things, but also the detestation in which they held the principles which would rob us of these, the noblest privileges of Eng lishmen, and which had collected together that proud con servative phalanx which now governed the political destinies of Liverpool, which made them a watchword—not a byeword —to all the conservatives of England—(loud cheers) —and which made them looked upon by conservatives, in every quarter, as their guide and their standard bearer in the great conflict which we had in hand. (Renewed cheers.) We had had peculiarly within the walls of Liverpool to discuss this great question, which had also been agitated within the walls of parliament. Whilst they had been discussing within the walls of parliament the question of Irish education, our cor poration had thought fit to make it a local question to us as well as one of general interest—(loud cries of " hear, hear,") —they had thought fit to try before our eyes the experiment which the government had been endea vouring to try upon the nation. We had shown our strong dislike for the attempt to lower down the tone of religious instruction to the feelings of those who had the least religious feeling ; we had expressed our strong dislike for those who would merge all that distinguished the protestant faith from the Roman catholic in the vain attempt to conciliate, in one common education, the Roman catholic and the protestant children. (Hear, hear.) It was not that he wished to raise in their minds feelings of hostility towards any class of our fellow-countrymen that he said this ; on the contrary he had for them the deepest attachment and the strongest feeling ; but he would not, in the vain attempt to meet their preju dices or their views, lower down, by one jot or one inch, that course of instruction which he thought best adapted for the protestant children of the empire. (Hear.) Let them have their schools, he would not interfere with them ; but let us not make our own children less protestant, less church of England, in the vain hope of inducing others to come and partake of that. (Hear, hear.) It was, indeed, not the con stitution which would save the church, but the church would save the constitution. (Cheers.) It was perhaps in vain to expect that great multitudes of men should enter into those refinements upon questions of government which would in duce statesmen to prefer one form of government to another as best fitted for the happiness and prosperity of the people ; but the questions of religion, the questions which affected the immortal happiness of our children and ourselves, the ques tions which affected our own religious interests were ques tions of common interest to all, and those which he was con vinced, would bind the safest and the strongest, the affec tions of the people towards that constitution which was en twined and enthroned in the pillars of the church. (Loud cheers.) As he had said before, it was not through any spirit of hostility towards his fellow -countrymen, whether English or Irish, Roman catholics or dissenters, that he inculcated so strongly those feelings of attachment to our own protest ant church ; but because he believed that man would be the best citizen who was most sincerely attached to our own pro testant creed, who was not willing for the purpose of some temporary or political advantage, to curtail in order to enact with the multitude the value of his own religious belief. (Loud cheers.) His excellent friend, Mr. Horsfall. had al luded to his colleague and himself having fulfilled the pro mises which they had made with regard to their political conduct. He believed, indeed, no one had ventured to sug gest that in any respect they had, since they last met the electors, departed from that course of conservative attach ment to the church which the electors expected of them, and which had ensured their support. (Cheers.) They bad en deavoured to wa:k steadily forward, not in any spirit of fac tion, incommoding and harassing the movements of govern ment—indeed, so little so, that those who looked at them from a distance had complained of them for want of energy— (hear, hear, and loud cheers.)—but they had been desirous of shewing that it was the part of a conservative opposition to look to the permanent interests of the country, and not to the temporary advantage of embarrassing and distressing an opponent. (Loud cheers.) They were not disposed to sa crifice their principles for any temporary advantage ; they were well content to wait until the country appreciated that firm, steady, and consistent conduct which, with Englishmen, was sure, sooner or later, to be understood by them, and to receive their approbation. (Cheers.) The!, had never at tempted to catch popularity by flattering the prejudices or the feelings for the moment ; they had preserved a steady and even course, supporting the government when the go vernment was in the right—which it was occasionally, per haps by accident—but when the ministry, by the necessity of their position as a government, had been compelled to sup port the prerogatives of the crown and the interests of public order, the conservatives had then supported them against their own friends. (Loud cheering.) The ministers, indeed, thank the conservatives for having been enabled to live so long ; for if there had been no conservatives in the House of Commons, long enough since they would have been over whelmed by their own friends. (Hear.) The conservatives • . had, indeed, now received the weed of that steady and for bearing conduct; for we had seen practically that opposition, which was at first a small minority, in the hands of Sir Ro bert Peel, enlarging and swelling, by degrees, until at last it had turned the tide, and now, he hoped, there would, for the future, be a full flow of good conservatism. (Cheers.) This question was the great question we had to decide—whether we would decide in favour of a government which had settled and known principles, or in favour of one of which it had hitherto been asked—' • What are the fashions for the season?" (Hear, hear.) Every year, when the session of the year has been beginning, or about a month before, it has been the practice for the public journals, for the last few years, to en quire what would be the fashion of politics for the govern ment for the session. " Last year, it is true, they opposed the ballot; will they continue to oppose it or not? They have declared that the ballot would unsettle the best inte rests of the countrt ; but that is no reason why they should not adopt it." (Hear, hear.) The whole question thus was one of calculation and speculation of how many votes they would lose or gain by conceding it, and if, upon summing 11P the two sides of the equation, they found the balance upon the side of concession, concede it they would. (Cheers.) That was the only way the future course of gov ernment was calculated by, with rega r d t o th e p r esent administratio n. They considered that they were in a sad minority the other day, and that they must strengthen themselves, but then those rascally to r i es —(l aug ht er )— an d sooner than admit the tories, perish the !constitution. (Hear.) This was the feel ing which animated the government—" we would do as little harm as we could"—and he (Lord Sandon) did not believe they would do harm for its own sake, but that if they meant to keep alive they must not shrink from doing it. (Hear.) That was the character of the present administra. Hen; but that Wag utA the character et an administration which ought to guide and rule the destinies of this great country. ' (Cheer - s.) It was not a government which would be the slave of the mere majority of the day, and which had to look for its course upon every question to a nice calcula tion whether it would get five votes upon one side or the other, that should govel'.'n the destinies of this empire ; but it was a government whose principles were known, round which the great mass and interests of the country might collect, and with them their opinions and their confidence. (Cheers.) That government he believed we should have in her majesty's future administration—in those men whom he Laud govern- s It used had been sometimes inclined to treat !neut. (Hear Her Majesty's Opposition," to be called, were the real goVerriment a , although the nominal government had forgotten to describe them by their proper name ; and the nominal government, although filling the seats of office, were the real opposition, for this , had always been the parties in opposition to all our settled institutions. (Cheers.) They had always been the parties to attack, never preserve ;—(renewed cheers)—and in performing that which used to be considered the duty of the opposition, namely, to find fault, to pick holes, and to try if they could not under mine something for the purpose of increasing their own influence and power. (Great cheering.) That might be excused in an opposition, but with a government entrusted with the great responsibility which belonged to that name, it was perfectly inexcusable, and ruinous to the character of the country which they governed. (Loud cheers.) As he had said before, these were the great questions the electors had to consider ; and not the question which had been raised up for the moment, and had no natural and real existence in the feelings or opinions of the nation. If they bad had any, why had not the government proposed them before, when they had the power to carry them ? (Hear, hear.) Why were they reserved for the last convulsive throes of death, not to dignify, but to mark their extinction? (Hear, and loud cheers.) The noble lord then briefly alluded to the corn question, and repeated his argument of the preceding night from Torrens, Matthews, and Huskisson that cheap bread was only a convertible term for low wages. He then addressed to the operatives assembled some judicious re marks upon the observation of the sabbath day. Happily, his lordship observed, we had a sabbath day, but we might be assured that there was a body of " philosophers" in this country to whom the day of rest was odious. We had seen that in the House of Commons when the sabbath question was debated. Had we not been told by these " philoso phers" that the sabbath-day observance was one fit for Jews but no longer fit to be observed by Christians—(hear)—that it was not binding upon the conscience —(hear, hear)—and ought not to he binding by law? (Hear, hear, and cries of shame.) That was the language of these radical philosophers who pretended to be the only friends of the poor. (Hear.) We knew one thing—that at least there was one band of those who called themselves " liberals," who made Sunday the only working day with regard to all political questions — who held all their political meetings on the day when men ought specially to cultivate the feelings of repose from the occupations of the week. (Hear.) He believed the attempt was once made to introduce a similar practice within the walls of Liverpool by holding a political meeting in the Queen's Theatre. (Hear, hear.) Let not that be forgotten. (Loud cries of "it never shall.") Let not this example take root ; and let Sunday be a day of real rest, not only for the body, but for the mind. (Loud cheers.) To those who were more at ease in life comforts and repose were more readily attainable, but the poorer classes would be deprived of them were it not for the institution of the Sabbath. What would be the effect if they were ? The effect would be to give the millowners of Manchester and Yorkshire the com mand of seven days labour instead of six, and for the same wages—(loud cheers)—yet he had heard language such as he had just described from the lips of the radical philosophers of House of Commons. (Hear, hear.) He mentioned this to show that they who had always friendship for the poor on their lips were not they who had it most deeply seated in their hearts. (Cheers.) The conservatives professed little ; but he hoped they would perform more. (Hear.) He did not promise—for it would be impossible—they would do every thing in a moment to restore prosperity; nevertheless he thought that a little more energy on the part of those who managed our foreign affairs, a little more consideration on the part of those who managed our financial affairs, and the affairs of trade, would free us from many of those convulsions and fluctuations the effects of which were so deeply and sensibly felt through all the commercial commu nity. (Great cheers.) He did not say they would be able to give full employment, or restore full activity to our streets and quays ; but he thought that the sound government which was likely to be the result of the administration of Sir Robt. Peel; Lord Stanley, and the Duke of Wellington, (tremen dous applause,) was one more than any other likely to give confidence in every branch of industry, more likely to secure the maintenance of peace, more likely to practise economy and foresight in the management of our finances, and more likely to give a general feeling of confidence, the existence of which he believed to be of the utmost importance to the ge neral prosperity of all classes in the empire. After a few further observations, the noble lord retired amidst enthusi astic cheering. Mr. CRESswELL then presented himself to the meeting, and was received with loud and enthusiastic bursts of ap plause, which were again and again repeated. When silence was at length restored, he spoke nearly as follows :—Gentle men. my noble colleague has been pleased—out of compli ment to me, his humble assistant—to adopt the phraseology of the profession to which I have the honour to belong, in order to show that, whatever prejudices some interested persons may endeavour to excite against that profession, he at least, from a four years' knowledge of me ' has imbibed none. (Hear, hear.) And I beg to say that:l fully appreciate the noble lord's generosity in speaking of me in the terms in which he has; but, at the same time, I must claim for my own profession the merit that such generosity is by no means uncommon to the members of it, for I believe that there is no profession where less unworthy jealousy exists, or where the hackneyed leader is less jealous of his meretorious juniors. (Hear, hear.) But now observe how prone we are to fall into mistakes. I have no sooner uttered a phrase than it may be misconstrued. I used the term " hackneyed leader." God forbid I should ever apply such a phrase to my noble colleague • but there may be the persons—there may be the independent statesmen, for instance—to whom such a term may in no small degree be applicable. (Hear, hear.) But I always get into scrapes when I get into per sonal matters. (Laughter.) They are foreign to my con templation—at least I trust that personal matters are foreign to my contemplation when the cause of my country is at stake. It has been charged that I came here for purposes of personal ambition, and that I have a pecuniary motive in view. Gentlemen, it is easy to assert it, but I defy my wors t enemies to prove it. (Loud cheers.) Every man who knows anything of tile history of Liverpool for the last five years knows under what circumstances I was first invited to appeal to you, and to seek your suffrages to return me to parliament. I,then stated, as I state now, that I had no personal motives to serve. (Hear, hear.) Fearful I was then, as fearful lam now, that my enemies would turn that expression to my dis advantage, but though my enemies may tell me that I seek to disguise some personal object under the profession of a re gard for my:country, those who consider the position in which they placed me and the position to which they have raised me, may understand that I have but one object in view, and that is, to serve my country in any situation in which it may may please providence to place me. (Great applause.) But enough—enough, gentlemen, of personal matters. — (Hear.) Let me now express my delight—my unfeigned de light—at seeing so large a multitude assembled to receive my noble lord and myself this evening. For the last ten days we have been invited to attend several assemblies of the con stituency. On each hand and every occasion we have en deavoured to express to them fully, largely, explicitly, our opinions on public matters. We have reminded you of the principles on which you returned us to parliament four years ago, of the efforts made to invade those principles, and of the efforts we made to uphold them. We have reminded you of the principles which guided you in your choice at that time, and of the delusions which have been practised upon you, and the attempts made to ensnare your votes on this occasion for candidates hostile to ourselves. It can hardly be possible that any man in Liverpool, still less that any vo ter, who possesses the franchise, and who owes a duty to his God and his country, is, at this timc, after those ten days, ignorant of the principles on which we now seek for your suffrages. (Hear, hear.) Ido not, therefore ' hail this great meeting as one that has had cur i os i ty enough to come here and listen to what my lord and I had to say,-1 do not re joice, because 1 believe you came not here to ask what we think of public affairs and those measures which her maje sty's ministers have proposed. (Hear, hear.) No such thing ; but I rejoice that you full well know what those mea sures are, and that, appreciating them, and knowing the opi nions and the measures that we for the last ten days have jen sedulously supporting before the understandings of the rbple of Liverpool, you come here to testify your approba tion of our opinions, and your determination to uphold them at the hustings. (Vehement cheering.) I therefore, accept the compliment paid to us, not as the exhibition of curiosity, not as the exhibition of a desire to be informed, hut as an ex hibition of the free attendance of gentlemen already well in formed, fully appreciating our arguments, fully understand ing the subjects we have argued, and coming here to tes tify your approbation of us by your presence. (Renewed cheering.) The present is the last of the ward meetings that we shall have the honour of attending before the election takes place. It is the only way in which we have an oppor tunity of meeting the whole of our constituents. (Hear.) If we represented some petty borough with 300 or 400 con stituents, and had only 300 or 400 men to canvass, we might be expected to wait on each, and to discuss every public matter with each • but when we aspire to th e h onour, t h e high station worthy of the highest ambition, of representing such a town as that of Liverpool, where there are 15,000 persons to judge of the conduct of the men they elect, how can we possibly pay our respects to you other than by inviting you to meet us in public, and declaring our opinions on public matters ? (Hear, hear.) And how mush more fair and manly this is, than the conduct of him who sneaks round from house to house. (Cries of " Sir Joshua," followed by loud hisses.) He shakes hands with Mr. A., at No. 1, and says, " I am so happy to see you ; pray what are your opinions on the subject of the ballot?" "Oh ! (replies Mr. A.) I think every gentleman ought to give his vote as he pleases, and as the tories are guilty of bribery, intimidation, and all sorts of corruption, I think we ought to have the ballot by all means." " My dear sir," says the other, " I agree with you—the ballot we must have ;" and after another shake of the hands they part. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) At No. 2 he meets a regular John Bull, a sturdy sort of fellow, such a person as might be met with here, and he say s , " I hope to have the honour of your support." " Sir, I don't know," replies John, " I detest that sneaking, s k u lki ng, un-English thing called the ballot,' by means of which a man may tell a cursed lie in promising, to vote f or one man, and afterwards voting for another. I'm against that ; I'm an Englishman; I like plain dealing." (Loud cheers.) " Oh ! you're the very man for me," says the oth er , " g i ve me the hand—no ballot !no ballot." (Loud cheers.) So much for canvassing electors sey . arately. (H ear, hear.) Now, here we are, before an assembled multitude, to state our opinions openly and fairly, and if in private sculking and sneaking we might profess one thing to one man and another to another, our public declarations would refute us, and we should be whipped through the world as deceivers of the un wary. (Loud cheers.) But we have never come before you ( cheers. you as an humble indivi ) We came before e tt v ho e e , Invited to become a candidate i . humble y o iat, n u d a l i t under false pretences. you without an disguismesauglietac applause. \ 1 When I had f t ddo h iest e al ci l h,aoiavtnr Liverpool, 00, being ybecausew ce ust.v o tbi t l9ienl sphere wasd I naolstot s occupied, upp os a se n esd d , I did it faithfull it was su P" se ' d been faithful • d that he who had in little • would be faithful in You much.

(Hear.) m Those were the ques tions . at that time. I then professed my admiration of them as they were, and as such I now, toge ther with my noble colleague, restore them to yo ur h an ds. (Great cheers.) Which misconduct ) (Cries of " Not we.") Has her gracious ma jesty lost a ny of her rightful prerogatives? (No.) Was it through us that she duty ' was protected, or through those whose it was to protect the crown ?—was it throughthose who were were called " her ministers," or through those who were called "her • ' majesty s opposition?" (Loud cries of " through her majesty's opposition.") Has the church maintained her position, and has she been protected in her rights and pro perty ? (Several voices " No, no," followed by 4. Yes yes.") I rejoice to see that you have been a little dece
