Riberpoof :z)tattbarb+ COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY MONDAY NIGHT There has been rather a better feeling in our colonial markets during the week. Coffee has taken the turn for the better, and we think Sugar has seen the lowest point of the ma rket. The indigo sale in London is progressing satisfactorily, and giving more confidence amongst bankers and the discount houses. In Tea there is not much doing, but prices are not lower. Common Congou is worth 9d. Rice meets with a ready sale. Linseed and other seeds are generally lower, to be accounted for in the late decline in the value of oil. Jute is quite neglected, and where parties insist upon selling, lower prices have to be taken. The receipts of Cotton in America continue in excess of last year, and prices come again rather lower. Here the trade are operating with caution, and the market is heavy. The cotton market, during the past week. was in a very languid state. The trade bought but little, and business for export was only moderate in amount. American was freely offered at fully id. per lb. lower. Surat and Brazil were also lower to the same extent. The sales amounted to 29,610 bales, (of which 400 American and 280 Surat are on speculation, with 3,280 American, 560 Pernams, 200 Bahia, 70 Smyrna, and 1,440 Surat for exportation,) comprising 710 Sea Island at lid, to 22d., with 80 stained sd. to llid. • 5,4'90 Bowed 40. to 51d. ; 4,380 Mobile, Al a b ama , &c.;3d. to 5-id ; 11,200 Orleans, 3d. to 71d. ; 900 Pernambuco, Paraiba, &c., 61-d. to 74(1.; 1,150 Bahia and Maceio, 6d. to ad. ; 1,000 Maranham, 41c1. to 74d. ; 10 Demerara, 64d. ; 10 Barbadoes, 6 d. ; 20 West India, 64d. to 10d.; 1,550 Egyptian, 51d. to 74d.; 80 Smyrna, 4d. to 411, and 3,020 Surat at 24d. to 4d. per lb. _ _ _ - There was rather a better feeling manifested in the W market last week, and some few sales of llogador, Opor and other middle-class Wools were effected at former prices. Nothing of moment doing is Scotch. _ _ In Manchester the markets are still dull, with a droop ing tendency in the prices of most descriptions of yarns and goods, the decline in the former being about ytd. per lb. on the rates of the preceding week, and of lid. per piece on the latter. India goous, such as 40 inch shirting, are at a lower value than at any previous time for many months back. Some buyers regard the decline in price as a matter of prelude to a renewed demand. The Corn Market has been very dull during the past week, and former prices are scarcely supported. The ave rage price of the kingdom, according to the Gazelle, was '36s. 6d. ner Wheat. - F cr quarter tor i fie deliveries by farmers for the week ending the 11th instant were 115,02, quarters as against 105,224 quarters in the corresponding week of last year, and 121,305 quarters. in 1849; and the aggregate averages of price were 375. ld. this year, 425. sd. last year, and 425. 7d. in 1849. The house of Messrs. Robert Anderson and Sons, at Leith, connected with the Baltic trade, was on Thursday announced to have stopped payment in consequence, it was understood, of being seriously affected by the failure of Messrs. Boyd, and other Glasgow firms. Mr. Thomas Allsop, a member of the Stock Exchange, London, has been declared a defaulter, but his liabilities, it is stated, will he ultimately nearly met by the available assets. The commercial new; from India and China, brought 'by the Overland Mail, is exceedingly unfavourable. It was impossible to dispose of imports, except at a loss ; and to export, except at a loss, was equally impossible. Merchants were losing by both imports and exports in India and in China. The intelligence from the Cape of Good Hope, which comes down to the 26th of August, is as gloomy as can well be imagined. The insurgent tribes were ravaging .the internal parts of the colony for hundreds of miles, and the troops available were unable to prevent the pil lage and destruction. The amount of specie taken out by the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Pottinger is £123,500, £11,400 being in gold, and £112,100 in silver, the latter chiefly for Bombay and Calcutta. In Australia the gold digging and washing mania rages with unabated vigour. Sheep are left without shepherds, and counting-houses without clerks. Emigration to the yellow land of fortune is proceeding from every quarter. Whatever be the fate of individual adventurers, Australia herself cannot fail to benefit by the great increase of popu lation. The Government tax of 30s. a month for leave to work the gold mines has excited much dissatisfaction, and a meeting had been held to obtain a reduction of the tax to 7s. 6d. There has not been much life in our sharemarket during the past week, and, in the absence of business, prices gene rally have receded. The traffic returns continue very favourable, and this may check any material decline. To-day there is more disposition to buy, and some good orders having been received from the public, the market has assumed a brighter appearance, with most stocks quoted higher. The quotations are as follows : Chester and Birkenhead, 161 ; Do. 22-shares, 64:1 • East Lancashire, 14 14c1c • Old Leeds, 5311- m 4leini; London stock, 1121 113 ; Do. new Quarters, 2 284 n ; lll'chester Shef and L'coln, 25k; Do. Quarters, 101; Do. preference, 111; Midland, 4614 117 a 7 ; Do. new preference, 1d ; North Staffordshire, 8 11-16 d ; St. Helens preference, 150 ; Old Dovers, 184 1 1 1; York and North Midland, 181 ; Gas Quarters, 461. There bas 'been a conside;able demand for shares in dividend-giving mines during the week, but at pries so low that sellers will not accept them. In speculative adventures nothing whatever has been done. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIANITY IMONG THE JEWS MEETING LAST NIGHT. The thirty.! auxiliary to tl hall of the Co second anniversary meeting of the Liverpool his society was held last night in the lecture Ilegiate Institution. The Rev. Dr. M' presided. The Rev. W. Cadman, M.A., incumbent of Park Chapel. Chelsea ; the Rev. J. Cohen, M.A., chaplain to the Compter, London ; and the Rev. Dr. Kearns, association secretary, and late missionary in Palestine, attended as a deputation from the Parent Society. The audience was numerous, and consisted for the greater part of ladies. Amongst the gentlemen on the platform we noticed the following :—Rev. Dr. M'Neile, Revds. W. Cadman, Dr. Kearns, J. Cohen, F. Parry, C. Lawrence, H. Carpenter, A. Knox, J. B. Lowe, S. Minton, H. W. Wright, J. Graham, T. Robinson, More, H. Marlen, 3. Conor, H. M. Mosse, W. M. Falloon, R. W. Wolse ley, H. Hampton, J. Duck , T.W. Moeran, D. Anderson, D. Barry, W. F. Taylor, W. Rawson, G. F. Greene, Dr. Aspinall, J. Groom, J. Butler, Read, Sutton, Moore, Walsh, &c. Of the lay gentlemen present were,—A. Hodgson, Esq., R. Bickersteth, Esq., W. Jones, Esq., C. Inman, Esq., W. J. Webster, Esq., H. flathead, Esq., The Rev. F. PARRY having offered up prayer, The Rev. Dr. M'NEILE opened the business of the evening in a brief speech. He said that it was no part of his duty to explain for the information of the meeting, or to propound for their adoption, any new scheme of Chris tian benevolence. They were assembled there as old friends. The revolving year had again brought round the anniversary of the Jewish Society, and they were in vited to make a new effort of Christian self-denial on be. half of the ancient p eo pl e o f G o d. (Ch eers .) It was right and proper that such a demand should be made on Christians, for the blessings of Christianity had their cor responding responsibilities. The fact that the privileges of Christianity had reached us by means of others, established the duty on us to provide, as far as we could, that they should reach others, who had them not. There was a charge on all secular national privileges—taxation was a charge, a debt the payment of which was enforced by the law of the land. Missionary activity at home and abroad was a charge likewise, but it was enforced by the law of grateful love: (Hear, hear, and loud applause.) If there were a specialty on any part of those claims made on Christians, it might surely be said to be on behalf of those to whom they were so deeply indebted. All the highest laws were of Jewish origin —the Bible was of Jewish original—salvation was of the Jews. This was enough to establish that it was part of the Christian duty to aim at doing good to the Jewish people. It might, however, be asked,—Why did they multiply societies ?—Wh3 had they not one missionary society for all ? His answer was, that in organising a distinct instru mentality they were following the Gospel. When the task of communicating the Gospel to the uncircumcised was committed to Paul, that of communicating it to the circumcised was committed to Peter. This was not on the principle of a division of labour, but on account of the difference in the parties on whom the labour was to be employed. It was true that the gospel was one to all, but the mode of presenting it to different minds was very dif ferent. It came to the ears of the heathen as a new sound —to the Jew it came as the fulfilment of all the religion of his fathers. It appealed to the conscience and to the sense of right and wrong of the heathen—to the Jew it appealed as the command of the Old Testament. It was clear, then. that different instrumentalities were designed for different works. The ministry of the Apostle Peter was not confined exclusively to the Jews, nor the ministry of Paul confined to the Gentiles. The strongest argument for preaching the Gospel to the Jews was founded on the practice of St. Paul. Though commissioned specially as the Apostle to the Gentiles, he did not lose all attachment to Israel. He called them of his own flesh, and expressed his anxiety to save some of them. A question might arise how it was possible to reconcile some words of Paul with others. In one place he said that all Israel should be saved. whereas, in another place, he expressed his concern for their salvation. Thi s l oo k e d ver y lik e a contra diction, for if he was confident in his declaration, that all Israel should be saved, bow could he have ex pressed his anxiety about saving some ? And if he thought of the saving of some only, how could he have said that all Israel would be saved? This apparent difficulty led to real instruction, for the ancient Christian writers made use of a phrase " distinguish the periods, and the Scriptures will harmonise." Three periods wereevidentiv referred to relative to the,Jews, the first, of their typical religion; the second,of their national dispersion and degra dation, which had not yet expired ; and the third, their national preeminence and glory. When Paul spoke of his anxiety aboutsaving some, be spoke in relation to th e secon d Period, that of the dispersion and degradation. Dispersed and degraded the Jews now were, but some might be saved. - (Cheers.) When Paul said that all Israel shall be saved he spoke of the third period. Thus, by distinguish - the time, the Scriptures all agreed. It was right an d in the midst of the difficulties and embar rassments that surrounded the society, a prosperous ter. urination awaited their efforts. It was cheering in antic'. ation, but it did not emancipate them from present At be that the Jews were a stiff-necked .ovetous race, but there was yet a blessed pros ' to them by the unfailing word' of prophecy. blessed that As all the evil that bad been predicted had been inflicted on the Jewish people, so would all the promises which God had addressed to them be fulfilled. If God was a God of truth when he threatened—was he not also a God of truth when he promised ? (Hear, bear.) Our duties had relation to the second period of Jewish his tory, while the nation was dispersed and degraded, and while, by the Gospel, some might be saved. We were called on to preach it to the Jew as well as to the Gentile — and to the Jew first. (Cheers.) The society had eighty four labourers of different descriptions employed, of whom forty-seven were converted Israelites. (Cheers.) The position of these persons varied with their capacities. The chief stations were in London, and abroad at Jerusa lem, Oran, Bagdad, Bucharest, Cracow, Warsaw, Lubeck, Danzig, Berlin, Stettin, Breslau, Frankfort, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, &e. ; and in all these places the agents of the Society were making known to the Jews the great truth that Jesus was the Christ. In London there wasan Episco pal Jews' Chapel, in which during the past year 9 adult converts had been baptised. There was also a school in connexion, in which 50 boys and 50 girls, children of Jewish parents, were receiving Christian instruction. There was a Jewesses' Mission in London, which Mrs. Hiscock had charge of. This lady gave a curious account, showing the collateral effort of the Popish Aggression. That lady said in her Report : I cannot help mentioning the great effect the papal aggres sion (as it has been called) has had upon my intercourse with Jewesses. I believe nothing has convinced them so much of the truth of the New Testament as that subject. When I open that sacred book and show them that the leading features and Tacteristies of the Roman apostacy were all pliinly predicted at the time when Rome was notoriously a Pagan City, they cannot account for it, or even attempt doing so, and are anxious to hear what is said respecting it. The Pope had little thought that he was producing this benefit to Jews or Gentiles when he made his recent assault. (Laughter.) The mission at Jerusalem was under the management of the bishop, and so well had the good work sped there that a writer in a Jewish news paper complained " that the piety of the Protestants in that place was boundless, and that proselyting was carried to an extent that had no parallel in any other place." He thanked the Jew for teaching him that word ! ( Laughter.) The Bishop stated in his last annexed letter,— The Jews are becoming more and more accessible and con vinced, not only that we love them and seek their good, but also that we conscientiously avoid the practice of any unlawful or doubtful means of prosecuting our work among them ; for example, when, a few months ago, the rabbies bad prohibited their people to work for or to employ the proselytes, or to have any dealings with them, we observed that if that was carried into effect, we should be obliged to place ourselves in the same position as the proselytes, and cease from employing Jews; their answer was, that our conscience would not allow us to follow a plan so ruinous to the interest of many poor Jews. It was, however, a problem whether we in England could always avoid making use of the weapons that others em ployed against us. (Hear.) At Oran, on the north coast of Africa, the aspect of the missionary's work was very encouraging. The Chief Rabbi had, under the direction of the Government, made proclamation in the synagogue that no Jew should use offensive language or otherwise molest the missionary on pain of severe punishment. (Cheers.) In Warsaw, Lublin, and the other missions, their labours were most fruitful. Before resuming his seat he wished to expostulate with those persons, if any were then present, who had prejudices against this work. There were many people, he had reason to believe, who enter tained such a prejudice ; for he missed from the list of subscribers the names of many who subscribed to the noble Church Missionary Society. But why should those who aided in preaching the Gospel to the heathen, not aid in preaching it to the Jews ? Was it because there was nothing to show for the work? Was it because they had not numbers of converts to show ? That could not be; for when a Jew was converted he joined the Christian community, and there was an end of the matter ; and though he became a trophy of the victorious labours of the Society, he could not be held up as such—except per haps the 47 of them who were now labouring for the Society. (Cheers.) How strange it was for a Christian minister to be told by Christian gentlemen—ask me for money for anything else except for the conversion of the Jews. If it were said that they were a stiff-necked race, covetous and vile, be it so ; bit the worse they were the greater necessity for converting them. The righteous were not called, but sinners, to repentance. He implored these persons to divest their minds of their prejudices; and he besought them to send the glorious Gospel to the Jews as well as to the Gentiles, for it was a Christian's duty to help them. The Rev. Dr. KEARNS, on presenting himself, was received with applause. He said that after the lucid ad dress which had brought the subject before them by one from whom it was so frequently their happy privilege to hear, it was unnecessary for him to make any prefatory observations, but to ask attention to what might be con sidered dry details connected with the Society. It had been his privilege to reside in Jerusalem and the Father Land for some years—(hear, and applause)—that land, which was once typically designated as a land flow . ing with milk and honey, now lay in dreary desola tion, withering under a just God's displeasure, while the rightful owners were scattered about the earth, having not a place to set their foot which they could call their own. Jesus!lem itself was but a wreck and ruin of what it once was, while some five or six thousand still clung to it, although not in its former greatness and splendour. The rev. speaker then gave details of the good effects already worked and being accomplished through the agency of the society at a vast number of the society's stations. At Jerusalem, there was a school in which there were being educated thirty children of Jewish parents : and the congregation on Mount Zion number nearly forty, independent of the chil dren of converts ; and, moreover, the report furnished by the bishop of the district of the progress of God's work was of the most encouraging kind. He would next call attention to Cairo, the bishop of which station was once a Jewish rabbi. He was now labouring with much success in the cause of Christ. A great feature which marked the progress of the course of christianity amongst the Jews was the great desire which pervaded the Jewish mind to possess and peruse the Bible for themselves. As an illustration of what may be antici pated from this, the rev. speaker stated that a Jew called upon a missionary and asked to have a Hebrew copy of the Bible, saying, " There is nothing about Jesus in this." " 0, yes,' said the missionary, " it is filled with Jesus," and pointed out to him the fifty third chapter of Isaiah. The Jew then asked for his money to be returned, as the copy furnished had been interpolated by the Christian Gospel. The Jew named the matter to his rabbi, who assured him that the copy was a perfectly true one, and attempted to explain away the difficulties which presented themselves. " Well," replied the Jew, ," if this be the writing of our distin guished Isaiah, we must, then, become Christians." (Hear, hear, and applause.) One of the great means by which the rabbies sought to keep the Jews in darkness, was just that adopted by the Romish priests, to keep their people in thraldom,—by withholding from them the entire Word of God. At Bagdad, where one of the Society's missionaries was labouring with considerable success, the Jewish population was about 10,000 ; and God's work was progressing most encouragingly. At Salonica the work was also progressing favourably. At Cracow, another station, the Jews were not unfre quently found reading the New Testament, which was not formerly the case ; and a man of influence amongst the Jews here lately lamented that the change amongst his countrymen was so great that at the hateful name of Jesus no Jew could now be found to spit, and would mention the name without the appearance of hatred or contempt. At this place, within the last year, there had been baptised 53 converts. At Trieste, a spirit of inquiry pervaded the Jewish population which was altogether unparallelled in times past. In Russia, a great and mighty empire, containing 2,000,000 of Jews, a great desire was manifested to become possessed of, and to read copies of the Word of God ; indeed so great had been the demand for the Scriptures here, that the society had been unable to supply it, and in consequence had sent over stereotype plates, in order that copies might be printed in the district. At War ' saw, in Poland, eighteen Jews had been baptized within the last year. The operative institution here contained about twenty-three inmates ; and there was a chapel which was crowded every Sabbath with Christian Jews and Gentiles, and also with unbaptised Jews, who not unfrequently mingled with the congregation. As an illus tration of the progress which the doctrines of Chris tianity were making in this district, the rev. speaker stated that it was the custom that when a Jew was on his death-bed he should make some declaration or leave some injunction to his surviving relatives or friends. On one of these occasions an ancient Jew, of experience and 'observation, said—" I am certain I die a Jew—certain that my grandchildren will die Christians ; what my own children will die, I cannot tell." Since the operations of the society here, about 300 Jews had been baptised in the Christian faith. In the Duchy of Posen there was a population of about 8000 Jews, and there were here many bright promises of success, as well as present fruits; but the most pleasing feature was that of the schools, of which there were nine, in which two thousand five hundred Jewish children were being educated in the principles of Christianity. At Danzig, darkness, ignorance, and superstition had maintained ; but the pediment of long standing had given way, and the New Testament was now in many Jews' houses found to constitute one of their little stock of books. At Konigs berg the scriptures were widely circulated and extensively read. In one year £ll5 had been expended in copies of the scriptures for circulation. There were here about 1,000 Jewish converts, and twenty-two had been baptised during the last year. Berlin had been an important station for a long period. This was a sort of rendezvous for Jews who had been dispersed or expelled from other places by hostile persecution. Several distinguished families whose names figured in the ancient books of the Jews, men of science, literature, and learning, had be come Christians • and in Berlin alone' the number of con verts was 2,500. Of these there were twenty-six professors in universities, and upwards of one hundred occupying po sitions in the learned societies of the country. Two hun dred Jewish convertshad been baptised within the last year, and within the last eighteen years, two thousand two hundred ; but the general average of baptisms was about 120 annually. It was not unfrequent to hear here, too, of unconverted Jews standing up to defend the New Testament. At Frankfurt-on-the-Maine, a great desire for reading the Holy Scriptures bad also been awakened. At Amsterdam, rationalism, or a sort of infidelity, had broken the fetters of Jewish superstition, and was letting the deluded and benighted Jews at liberty by awakening in them a spirit of inquiry, which, in many cases, led to the embracing of the doctrines of Christianity. After al luding to other districts, and instancing a number of cases illustrative of the good effects of the society, the rev. speaker called upon the meeting to aid them in the grvelllc which it was the o bj ec t o f th esoc i e t y t o carr y ou t. in a longeandWm. eloquenteA next speech, In every workwhich w addressed th e meeting undertook for the benefit of our fellow-men and glory of God, it was very desirable to have a clear under standing of the precise objects and principles in view. The object of the London Society had been already stated ; and interesting details had been given of the successful operations of that society, and he wished to be allowed to add a few observations by way of reminding them of thevast importance of the work which had brought them to gether that evening. The details were of a most cheer ing character. There could be no doubt that there was a fierce conflict now going on in the world between truth and error. God was on the side of truth—the devil was promoting error ; and upon which side we stood ranked was an all-important question to determine. And how were we to determine this ? There was one book to which we must appeal—this was the book of God, containing his inspired mind and will. The great object of the society was to preach the Gospel to the Jews and to circulate the Scriptures amongst them ; and he, for one, had be n gladdened by those truths to which reference had been made. A diligent, earnest, persevering effort to disseminate the Scriptures amongst the Jews would be the safeguard of England against Rome. The speaker, after illustrating his point, called upon the meeting for their aid. The Rev. JAMES COHEN next addressed the meeting, but had not concluded when our reporter left. During the proceedings a collection was made. Sermons in aid of the Society were preached in various churches of the town and neighbourhood on Sunday; the an nual public breakfast will take place this morning at the Adel phi Hotel ; and this evening public meetings will be held at the School-room, Seaforth ; at W. Clement's School-room, Wind sor ; and at St. James's School-room ; at each of which a Mem ber of the Deputation and other Clergymen will attend. THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION: Since our last but few alterations have taken place in the election movements of the different wards. The members who retire on the Ist of November are— Everton Ward .. Mr. Robert Aked. Scotland Mr. James Thomson. Vauxhall. _ .. St. Paul's Mr. John Briscoe. Exchange. Mr. Thos. Littledale. Castle street . Mr. Hugh Hornby. • St. Peter's Pitt-street .. Mr. J.

In Vauxhall Ward, Mr. Bradley, surgeon, opposes Mr. Hodson. For St. Paul's Ward the retiring member will meet with a strong opposition from his former opponent, Mr. M'Guffie, druggist, of Castle-street, and it is expected that the con test will be a severe one. In Exchange and Castle-street Wards the two present members will be returned without opposition. For St. Peter's Ward Mr. Harmood Banner (than whom there is not a more respectable or more highly respected gentleman in Liverpool), in compliance with a numerous and most respectably-signed requisition, is now in the field to oppose Mr. Clarke, the retiring member. Mr. Harmood Banner's address will be found in another column. A meeting of the ward electors friendly to Mr. Banner's return is to be held, in the Clarendon-rooms, on Wednesday evening next. It will be found advertised elsewhere. For Pitt-street, Great George, Rodney-street, Aber cromby, and Lime-street Wards, in all probability, the retiring members will be returned unopposed. For St. Anne's Ward there is sure to be a contest, and a severe one, too, Mr. Raymond Houghton having con sented, in compliance with a numerously-signed requisi tion, to come out in opposition to the present member, Mr. Freme. Mr. Houghton's address will be found in our advertising columns. In West Derby Ward Mr. Beckwith, the present mem ber, still retains possession of the field. Mr. G. H. Law rence has been spoken of as a candidate in opposition to Mr. Beckwith. In the two Toxteth Wards. it is said the retiring mem bers will be returned. Notices of the meeting of the friends of Mr. Fisher, and of Mr. Hodson for Vauxhall Ward, will be found subjoined. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1851. ST. PETER'S WARD Last night a very numerous meeting of Mr. Clarke's friends was held at the Prince of Wales, Fleet-street. Mr. Robert Frodsham occupied the chair, and Mr. John Hastings the vice-chair. Gentlemen of various political opinions attended, and appeared unanimous in their efforts to promote Mr. Clarke's successful return.-- Another meeting of this gentleman's supporters is adver tised to take place on Thursday evening next, at the Clarendon-rooms. MEETING IN VAUXHALL, WARD. Yesterday evening a meeting of the friends and sup porters of Thos. L. Hodson, Esq., was held at the house of Mr. John Hayes, Vauxhall-road, for the purpose of or ganising the canvass and other preparatory steps for his return. Amongst those present were Mr. Thos. Littledale, Mr. Freme, Mr. Alderman Dover, Mr. J. C. Fernihough, and other members of the Council. The room was densely crowded. At about a quarter past seven o'clock it was moved that Mr. W. Macgregor take the chair, a resolution which was carried. Mr. Morris, an elector of the ward, proposed Mr. Thos. L. Hodson, as a fit and proper person to represent the interests of the rate-payers of the district; and that, the meeting being fully satisfied with his past con duct,pledge itself to support him. _ _ _ Mr. Alderman DOVER seconded the resolution in a neat and appropriate address. He illustrated the benefits in a sanitary point of view that the town derived from the services of a medical gentleman, particularly from one like Dr. Hodson, who, unlike many, had no crotchets in his head; and expatiated on the able manner in which Mr. Hodson had discharged the onerous duties reposed in him. Dr. Bradley, who was about to contest the ward, was a personal friend of his (Mr. Dover's), and a gentle he much respected, but the opposition was from Mr. Bradley against Mr. Hodson, and not from Mr. Hodson against Mr. Bradley. The speaker then alluded to the present position of the Council, stating that the great questions on which the members had differed being now settled, he trusted the time was arrived when they would vie with each other in promoting the good of all. The resolution was about to be put to the meeting when Mr. RICHARDSON proposed (in a very awkward fashion) an amendment, substituting the name of Dr. Bradley for that of Dr. Hodson, which was seconded by Mr. M`Lauchlin ' amidst cries of " Are they voters ?" " Turn them out," &c. Every attention was, however, paid by the chairman, and, on the amendment being put, seven hands only were shown in its favour. The motion was, of course, carried, but a large majority of the voters present did not vote on either side. Mr. THOMAS LITTLEDALE then briefly addressed the meeting, eulogizing strongly the straightforward conduct of Dr. Hodson during his term in the Council. (Cheers.) A VOICE.--What good has Dr. Hodson done ? What services has he rendered the ward ? CHAIRMAN. I shall leave Dr. Hodson to answer ; and I have no doubt he will readily do so. MR. HODSON then rose, and, amidst cheers and some slight interruption, detailed the course he had pursued while representing the ward. He was, he admitted, when elected, pledged on certain questions ; but circum stances had occurred that rendered it necessary that he should relax, for the good of his constituents, in some measure his original intentions; and he wished them to judge of his conduct as a whole, and not on any one thing in particular. When he entered the vestry and council he gave his interest to the reduction of the rates, and so far had it been successful, that they had been brought down at least one-half, (Cheers.) He was not there as a cottage owner or on the cottage owning question. The gentleman opposing him wished to exempt cottage property from rates to the poor, but it was by equitably rating all property that Liverpool and the neighbouring parishes were now saving' £30,000 a-year. In answer to the question,—What had he done for the ward ?—Mr. Hodson read a statement showing that while representing it, a sum of no less than £8143 had been spent in paving and £7087 in sewerage in the ward, and cited other evi dence to show that the interests of the burgesses had not been neglected. He then alluded to the lodging. house keepers' question, and concluded by stating that he had no object in seeking their suffrages further than that of benefiting his fellow townsmen—he had no object to gain —and be the result what it might, he would be satisfied. Mr. HAYDOCK.—What about the £7O for four jour neys to London on the water question ? Mr. HODSON explained that he bad been one , of a deputa tion to London ; he was there seven weeks and four days, and having made nine trips up and down he paid no less than £4O for railway fares, and £8 for car hire. The charge, he said, was not £7O, but .£55.—(A voice : " Have you charged for your own time ?"—Cries of No, No.) — Dr. Hodson attempted to proceed, when an uproar ensued, in which the name of Mahoney was several times dis tinctly audible, accompanied by cries of "go on." Order being restored, the Chairman called on Mr. Ferni hough, who delivered himself of an eloquent but most ego tistical address, highly laudatory of Mr. Hodson and him self, but certainly not calculated to forward the cause es poused by themeeting. He ridiculed the idea of questioning a councillor about expenses so trivial, and said that were it not for the petty jealousy of other councillors of the ward, the particulars of the £7O would not have been mooted, and it was only through truckling it could have been known. A VOICE.—See Liverpool Mercury, of sth December. Mr. FERNIHOUGH.—The Liverpool Mercury has been fed like you by scandal, and reports anything without know ing its truth. My opinion of the newspapers is pretty well known they report that which is unimportant, and leave out that which is important, to suit their own ends. In stead of being led away by clamour, they should set about reforming the press, and then they would get honest and true reports. After Mr. Fernihough had concluded, Mr. MURDOCK said, that in justice to himself and his fellow-burgesses, he would distinctly state that they were not led away by clamour. Dr. Hodson, three years ago, was a gentleman totally unknown, and yet he was brought out against that great philanthropist, William Rathbone, Esq., and triumphantly elected. It was not by clamour that that was done. The electors of Vauxhall Ward dared to think. Dr. Hodson had made them certain promises, and he had broken faith. _ _ A pause then ensued, and the 'chairman dissolved the meeting. Mr. rioauchlin tried again to Epeak, but the attempt failed. NORTH TOXTETH WARD. MR. W. FISHER AND THE BURGESSES. Last night, at eight o'clock, a meeting of the burgesses of this ward was convened, by placard, to receive Mr. W. Fisher, one of the present representatives of the ward, and to consider the propriety of nominating him as a candidate at the approaching municipal election. The meeting was held in the room known as Toxteth Hall, in Mill-street, and was very numerously at tended. Amongst the burgesses whom we noticed present were Messrs. Duncan Gibb, Bland, Hutchinson, Siddeley, Betteley, Miller, Hetherington, Carter, Hughes, Brown, W. B. Jones, Dawson, Craig, T. Williams. T. B. Troughton, J. Harrison, Charles Bal ten, Ogden, J. Williams, Robinson, Watson, Lord, M'Nicoll, Pyke, Rogers, Plaw, Llewellyn, Williams, Jones, Wilson, Fenwick, Griffiths, Ames, Alpass, Wakefield, Sewell, &c., &c., &c. Mr. ROBERTSON was unanimously voted to the chair, and the proceedings commenced soon after eight o'clock. The president having briefly announced the object of the assembly, Mr. Joirx WILSON alluded to the unhandsome manner in which the friends of Mr. Fisher considered that gentleman had been treated, and boldly stated that he was prepared to answer any questions put to him as to his conduct as a member of the council. He did not agree with all that he had done, it was true ; but he admired him as a man who did not and would not go, when returned three years ago, bound by any pledge to the Pike-men or the anti-Pike-men; but only consented to be returned as the unfettered representative, not only of a ward, but of the interests of the great municipality of Liverpool itself. (Hear, and cheers.) No question having been now put,—this course being requested by the chairman, if any burgess desired it, — Mr. FISHER said, that there might be no misunderstanding in that room or out of doors, he would refer to a few of the principal incidents that 1 nd occurred since he was elected. He would blink nothing,-1 a was there on his trial as a public man,—and he hoped the -blic would regard this as a fair -trial. With regard to the timber question, he was charged with being an enemy to the south end ; he was not, it was said, sound on that point. A short time after his election he was called upon to vote on that question, and not being able to do so without speaking, he spoke and voted against Mr. Bramley- Moore's northern scheme, his voice as a young and inex perienced member of the Council not having the weight pro bably which that of an older member might have. It was unfair to charge him with being adverse to the interests of the south end, because he had seen reason to change his views. He had, it was true, opposed a scheme for the outlay of a large sum merely for the accommodation of four ships at the south end, but he trusted, indeed he was assured. that he had never op posed the interests of the Toxteth Wards in the way in which persons out of doors had insisted upon. ( Hear, hear.) He did not view the question now as it was to be regarded in 1846; but this fact be would state, that while comparatively idle at tl.e south end, they would find they were actively engaged in building at the north. He could give no reason why, but so it was. In other points he was not aware there was any differ ence of opinion between himself and his constituents. If he went back to the Council, he hoped to go unfettered, and would never consent to go there to made - a tool of or to vote for that which his conscience dictated to be wrong. (Cheers.) Before he was a member of the Council, the timber merchants called out for greater accommodation. Now he found among the names of those who voted then for the northern scheme Mr. Stewart, Mr. Horsfall, Mr. Tinne, and Mr. Jones—gentlemen who were:now quoted against him. He was sure that they had voted conscientiously, for they were gentlemen whom he highly respected, and who, he knew, would not sanction a measure which they did not believe to be con ducive to the interests of the borough of Liverpool. (Cheers.) He believed that they, in that respect, had done what they thought was right; and he would only add, that he should like to see the trade so increase that not only the accommodation at both ends would have to be extended, but that of Birkenhead might be required also. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Mr. McNicHoL, as one who had been induced to look about for others to represent the burgesses of this ward in the Town Council, said they had done so, not from personal motives or feelings, but because they thought Mr. Fisher's votes had been detrimental to the interests of these wards. The single point that weighed with them in refusing to continue their confidence in their esteemed friend Mr. Fisher, as their representative in the Council, was, his vote and opinion on the question against the increase of docks in this district to which he had referred. If the Dock Committee had been determined to frustrate the south-end scheme, and to cherge a shilling a yard where others only charged fourpence, then they bad taken the very course which Mr. Fisher had supported. (Hear, hear.) The speaker was proceeding to make some comments on a report which, he said, he held in his band, of Mr. Fisher's remarks in the Dock Committee on the timber question, when there was great confusion and cries of " name ;" and Mr. Fisher, at this moment, rising to order, _ _ _ _ , The CHAIRMAN complied with the general feeling of the meeting, that the speech should be read in extenso. This was accordingly done, and occupied a very considerable time. Mr. M'NIcHoL, after the reading of the speech, appealed to the meetirg, whether the whole tenor of it did not argue it to be Mr. Fisher's opinion, that it was impossible to continue the timber trade at the south end, and that it should be carried to the north. He (Mr. 111 4 /sl.) contended that the removal of the timber trade to the north end would be most injurious to the south end, and most disastrous to the interests of the Dock Estate. That was not all the question ;as ratepayers they must know that the absence of their productive trade would over whelm them with a mass of pauperism, and increase of rates, which they could never support. (Cheers.) If Mr. Fisher could show how this deficiency could be supplied and this evil averted, then their objection to his return would be removed. Mr. Fisher having arrived at the conclusion that the south end of the town was not fit for the development of the timber trade, conscientiously no doubt, they had determined to oppose his re-election, and he for one would support the return of Mr. Stewart, whose opinion on all these matters was so highly ap preciated by all. (Cheers.). _ _ _ _ . The CHAiRMAN having decided that the meeting must first determine on the point on which they had been convened, be fore going into any other subject,— Mr. FISHER replied to the remarks of Mr. Nichol, and sup ported the arguments he had urged in the Dock Committee, and which had just been read to the n.eeting. As he dared not pecu late himself, he would not sanction a scheme that would tend to the interests of any private friend or friends. He had a respect for—he sympathised with the poor. He knew the difficulty of collecting rates—aye, even from the widow who rather requited relief than the exaction of rates—(loud cheering) —and he would leave it to others to accommodate their friends at the expense of the public, and the poor, if they dared to do it. (Applause.) He knew that Mr. John Stewart would not do it, if others did; but he knew, also, that Mr. John Stewart had voted for the northern scheme. (Hear, hear, and cheering.) They must give every facility for all parties—they must allow not only the timber trade, but every other trade, to select its own locality ; it was their interest to do so, and rather than curtail or abridge the accommodation, he would carry the docks on to Garston, and even to Southport if neces sary. (Hear.) Mr. LORD denied that the disadvantages that had been men• tioned as having arisen from the want of docks and quay room were borne out by the returns of this, as compared with the last year's returns of business. Mi. MILLER had himself felt the inconvenience alluded to, and then proposed that Mr. Fisher, from the explanation he had given, and his services as a member of the Dock Commit tee and Town Council, was the most fit and proper person to represent this ward in the next Council. (Cheers.) Mr. DUNCAN GIBB seconded the motion. Mr. HARRISON, as a burgess of the ward, was not satisfied with Mr. Fisher's opinions. He had told them privately that he would go further with them than he had done publicly. The burgesses would not send any man unless he were prepared to advocate the interests of the south end. (Cheers.) If Mr. Fisher would vote for the carrying out of the great dock, for which they had the act of parliament, in its fullest sense, at the south end, they would support him ; and, if so, there would be no need of a contest. Mr. FISHER said he answered with pleasure, he would ; and would go farther than that and carry it on beyond the south end, even as far as Garston, if proper means were taken to accommodate the extensive and increasing trade by the making of a complete dock, with all the necessary appurte nances. In reply to another question by Mr. Bland, Mr. Fisher said he would exclude no trade ; he would advocate the extension of the accommodation for the timber trade at the south till the trade was cvertlowing, and then he would be very happy it should go to the north. [This was not deemed a very satis factory answer, and, after some very petty quibbling, as to words, and their meaning, which seemed to amuse most of the auditory, the inquiry dropped.] Mr. RANKIN paid a high compliment to the services of Mr. Fisher as a member of the Council and Dock Committee, and expressed his conviction that the burgesses could not return a gentleman better qualified to discharge the duties of their representative than Mr. Fisher. _ _ _ Mr. BETTELEv, after some declamatory remarks, asked the audience if they were prepared to leave their business here ? A Voice : Yes, if we can find a better. (Loud laughter.)—Mr. Betteley : Go to the north end then. (Laughter.) He said Mr. Fisher did not represent their interests, and therefore they ought to look out for some one else who would. (Hear, hear, and slight cheering.) Mr. WILSON was then about proposing an amendment—in oppposition, as we understood—to Mr. Fisher, when Mr. HARRISON rose to order, remarking that the meeting was called for a special purpose, and they had no right to go into any other matter. The CHAIRMAN said he had been allowed to go on so far, and he thought the last terms in the placard calling the meeting allowed the moving of an amendment. _ Mr. M'NicHol: then sgid :—They could not, as electors of the south end, consistently return Mr. Fisher as their member. He, therefore, proposed, in his stead, Mr. John Stewart, who although at first favourable to the northern scheme, had changed his opinion, and his prejudices and pre dilections were decidedly in favour of the south-end. (Cheers.) Mr. Stewart would advocate the extension of the docks from the south end up to Dempsey's hollow. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BATTEN seconded the amendment, on the ground that Mr. Fisher thought the interests of the Dock Estate superior to the interests of the ratepayers of the Ward. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HARRISON mentioned that the mover and seconder of Mr. Stewart were neither of them voters in North Toxteth Ward. (Laughter.) He respected Mr. John Stewart, and should not like to see him made a fool of, and if they could get two electors to move and second the amendment, it would be regular and not otherwise. (Hear, hear.) Mr.LORD, as an elector, then moved Mr. John Stewart as a fit and proper person, and the motion was seconded by Mr. Gladstone. After some further proloneed and conversational remark The CHAIRMAN suggested that as neither motion was suili ciently matured, they had better adjourn the discussion to a future day. This course was not agreeable to the meeting, and several personalities, and some very desultory conversation having in tervened, a vote was ultimately taken, and a motion for an ad journment was first negatived. The amendment in favour of Mr. Stewart was carried, the original motion in favour of Mr. Fisher being subsequently rejected. The thanks of the meeting were voted to the chairman, and the proceedings terminated at half-past ten o'clock, when the assembly quietly separated. g`z,alrs bp gurtion. LUCAS'S REPOSITORY.
