GENTLEMEN, - I N accordance with the wishes of a large. body of the Electors of your Boro ug h, I b eg to offarelTyself as a CAN DIDATE for the honour of represe, you in the ensuing Parliament. If it be - usual fora yvd Representative to lay before you his sentiments on s t! of the leading questions of general policy, it becomes imperative duty on a new and untried Candidate to do The first point, an no which, I understand, is exciting a great and general it rest in your town, is that of the endow ment of the Rom' .. clergy. Upon this, as upon every other subject, I desi .to give you my honest opinion. It is a ques tion on which many gre a t an d goo d men may differ. It is one, however, upon which I can never swerve from the principles which have guided my conduct through life. What is in itself wrong can never be justified b y expediency.; and the endow ment of the Church of R ome wou l d, I consider, be treason to to Protestantism. The spirit of Protestantism breathes liberty, order, protection to life and property, and toleration to all. The spirit of Romanism, to use the words of Lord Arundel and Surrey (himself a Roinanist), is antagonistic to Protestantism. These sentiments may be called " bigotry ;" they are, however, the source of all freedom. Were these principles applied to the government of Ireland, and applied fairly, firmy, and yet kindly, I believe they would offer a near solution to the most difficult problem of the British Government. The next subject, to which my attention has been called, is that of the Navigation Laws. The shipping interests of Eng land are interwoven with all her past and present glories. I desire to see her Navigation Laws, which have long been the admiration of foreigners as well as of ourselves, maintained in their full integrity: and the necessity must be very imperative, or the advantages clear and decisive, which could justify any tampering with this time-honoured system of maritime law. On the monetary systems, various and opposed as they are, I would desire to learn the opinions of this large and enlight ened community, (founded, as those opinions must be, on great commercial experience,) rather than to propound my own ; and I can only assure you, that should I have the honour of becoming your Representative, I should give to those opi nions ail the consideration to which they are justly entitled ; and should I draw from them an erroneous conclusion, I can only say that, though erroneous, it will be an honest one. The repeal of the Corn Laws is become the law of the Viand. I was opposed to it ; but should deprecate any integneddling with that law until considerable experience of its ellEcts shall have tested its bearing and value. I should desire Free Trade with all nations, who will reciprocate its advantages with us; subject of course to such modifications as may be requisite to maintain the fiscal integrity of the state. }laving thus, Gentlemen, laid before you, clearly, as I hope, my views on the protection of our national Protestantism, as essential to real liberty anti good government—on the mainte nance of our Navigation code—on the repeal of the Corn Laws, as a settled question;—and on the conditional benefit of recip rocal Free Trade—l have only to add, that, ifjare4it into Parliament by your suffrages, it will h e my etu• to pro mote your local interests, and to attend carefully to the public a nd private business, which so vast a colninereinl town as Liverpool must originate. With these sentiments, Gentlemen, 1 remain Yeer feithfid and obedient Servant, MOB): M ACKWORTII. June 280, 1847. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL. GENTLEMEN, I HAVE have had the hono ur o f reeeyttrig a , commu nication inviting me to become a CANDIDATE at the ap proaching General Election, for one 9r the vacancies created try the resignation of your present II hers. In accepting this invitation, I fe ein lost sensibly that I aspire at once to nearly the hi g h es t and Host honourable distinction in public life; for such an one:I hold to be the representation in Parliament of a constituelky so important as that of Liver pool, as well by its numbers and intelligence, as by its industry and its wealth. Had this choice falletf r upon some one eminent in the State, and whose time am tention had already been devoted, with success, to the pu nt c service, I should have rejoiced, upon your own account, at t ie selection i but as I have been thought wor thyee to receive this very flattering proposal—one peculiarly gra tifying, as opening to me a prospect of representing my native town, I accept th e offer, in the hope that I may, by "a zealous and independent discharge of my duties in Parliament, and an unremitting attention to your interests, justify, in some degree, the compliment that has been paid to me. My opinions,/ trust, are well known to you to be those which have long guided the supporters of a liberal spirit of legislation ; nevertheless, on some questions, which are at• the present mo ment of peculiar interest, a more particular explanation will be naturally expected from me. Although, by the enlightened policy of the present Parlia ment, duties and restrictions have been removed from the leading articles of consumption, and the statute book now re cords the triumph of the principles of commercial freedom, diligence anti attention will still be necessary to secure to the people the full benefit of these important changes, and constant exertion will be required to obtain for them the advantage of still further progress. Should I have the honour of becoming your Representative, I shall be proud of the opportunity, through you, of contendinr , for the practical extension of the principles thus already ad mitted, to every article of use, comfort, or convenience, and of Aerationy best assistance to the completion of a tariff, the of which would not only contribute to our prosperity at home, but, by the enlargement of our transactions with fo reign countries, strengthen the feeling of mutual dependence, and secure to us the inestimable blessings of peace. Whilst actively engagea in urging forward these improve ments in our commercial code, as calculated to foster the industry, add to the comforts, and advance the prosperity of 1 the Country, I should always take the deepest interest in those measures which, by diffusing instruction, and rai s i ng t h e pea pie generally in the scale of civilization, would have an equally direct and even a more powerful tendency to promote their permanent welfare and happiness. Strongly impressed with this feeling, 1 shall be happy to be found associated with you, in assisting to establish the most efficient system of moral, intellectual, and religious education. I know and 'admire the cheerfulness with which you are bearing the severe pressure upon your industry, occasioned by the late fearful calamity in Ireland, and I join in the general approval of the measures taken for the relief and for the im provement of the people of that country ; but should the enact ments now passing through Parliament be found insufficient to protect this country, and particularly you, against the recur rence of the unjust burdens under winch you are at present suffering, I should think no efforts too great to secure such alterations and amendments as may de justice to your interests. I should also cordially support all future measures calculated to encourage in Ireland a love of good order, a spirit of indus try, anti a feeling of self-reliance. I have no personal objects to serve, nor any feeling of ambi tion to indulge, OA w 1 uld not be fully grab led by the distinc tion of icing your Representative. My freeiluni from allretlier engagements would enable me to devote my time and attention, alinoEt entirely, to your Parliamentary and Local Interests, and , far any exertion I might be called on to make, I should find ample recompense in the belief that I had obtained your coil& deuce. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, your very obedient Servan , THOMAS B. BIRCH.' - t 10th Ant!, 1t47. ROSES. WALTON NURSERY.

GENTLEMEN; • THE probable time for the Dissolution of the p resen t Parliament is now so near at hand, that I venture to re quest your permission to address you. I have been honoured by a Requisition inviting me, on the retirement of Lord SANDON, to become DIDATE for your Suffrages. It is signed by nan ich we have always regarded as affording a satisfy guarantee for a general concurrence of sentiments a g our fellow-townsmen ; and I accept with pride and pl. re the distinguished invitation it conveys. I cannot hope th - any abilities of mine will enable me to supply the irrep de loss you have sustained. But I have enjoyed intimat • ipportunities of observing the assiduity and attention with which your present members have discharged the duties of your trust; and I have the advantage of knowing, by long acquaintance, your general and local interests. lam sincerely attached on every ground—by birth,—by educa tion,—and by choice—to the Pritestant Chu th established in these dominions. I believe her to be the piost valuable : safe guard of our Civil and Religious Liberties. A respectful consideration for the rights, the inttrests, and the wishes of those ivho do not conform to her communion, naturally flows from a regard to her constitution, and an observance of her teaching. A painful interest has been felt by many estimable men with respect to a plan supposed to be in prospect for the endovi ment of the Priests in Ireland. I do not believe that any project of that kind is wished for by themselves, or is seriously entertained in any quarter. Ido not approve, and do not intend to sup port it. I voted for the grant proposed by her Majesty's Government fcr the general education of the people. I thought it was cal culated to extend the advantages of secular knowledge, and the inestimable blessings of religious training. I acquiesced in the general measures adopted by the Execu tive for the temporary relief of urgent distress in Ireland, — I cordially sunrrted the enactments by which the right of the destitute to maintenance from the property of their own neigh bourhood is recognized and enforced. Upon the important questions of commercial legislation, which have so larv•ely occupied the attention of the expiring Parliament, I need not trouble you at any length. In former times, the most illustrious advocates of commercial freedom have been the representatives of Liverpool. The Policy of gra.dnallv relaxing prohibitory and restrictive imposts, with a due regard to the Revenue and a considerate reference to established interests, has had your general sup port. The result has been eminently satisfactory in the decrease of burdens, the improvement of the Revenue, the extension of commercial intercourse, and the diminution of the Public Debt.—Of these advantages Liverpool has enjoyed an ample share, and has attained in amount of tonnage the 'first position among the Ports of England. It is particularly 'gratifying to observe that this has been chiefly occasioned by 'the increase of British shipping : contributing to the advance ment of domestic interests, and to the maintenance of our Maritime power. I will support no change in the Navigation Laws, calculated to interfere with the growing prosperity of the shipping and commercial interests. To preserve the honoured institutions of the country, and to promote the general welfare by judicious adaptations of the law to the varying requirements of a great and impro v i ng people—these are the objects with which the name of Liver pool has been associated in former years. To these objects, if I shall be honoured by your choice, I promise to devote myself with firmness; fidelity, and diligence, and have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient humble Servant, EDWARD CARDWELL. Whitehall Gardens,loth Ju1y,18.17. PARIS AND ROUEN RAILWAY. SHAREHOLDERS are re - to attend at the CLAREN DON-ROOMS, THIS D ' at ne o'clock, to meet Mr. REED, on the SUBJECT e PROPOSED ALTERATION in the STATUTES resp ing the SINKING FUND. Tuesday, 13th July, 1847. TO THE ELECTORS AND FREE BURGESSES OF LIVERPOOL. GENTLEMEN, IN acceding to the request which has been made by some influential members of your body that I should lay before you, in an address, the main principles which guide my political conduct, I cannot but pay a just and hearty tribute to the worth and ability of those representatives of whose services you are about to be deprived. It would argue great presump tion in me were I to hold out an expectation thathe know ledge and devotion with which Lord Sandotrand Sir Howard Douglas have discharged their functions, as your representa tives, would be displayed by me. I shrink at once from any such comparison. But, should you be pleased to confer that honourable-office upon me, I will, according to my powers, faithfully fulfil its duties. . So - many and so various are the subjectiof debate which, either at the present moment do, or in the future Parliament will, interest the Constituencies and Legislature of the Empire, that it is almost impossible in an Address to do more than ex press, in:genera/terms, the principles on which a Candidate acts. Mine require no elaborate definition. In religion lam a Churchman, in politics a Tory. You, gentlemen, need not be reminded that the cry which would associate intolerance with the one and incaracity with the other, is as unfounded as it is illiberal. It is to the Tory constituency of Mr. Canning and Mr..Huskisson that I address myself. As a Churchman, then, the integrity, independence, and increased efficiency of the Church—as a Tory, the maintenance of an historic Monarchy, the consolidation of a mighty empire, and the happiness of a noble people—are the objects, both in public and in private life, I humbly endeavour to subserve. The various members of that empire appear to me suscepti ble of a closer alliance. The social and moral condition of that people admits and demands amelioration. To a Statesman's eye the Colonies of England must present a field for careful and paternal legislation, and every measure that can guard and promote the welfare of our Colonies, and stimulate their com merce, will receive my active support. It has been truly said, that England and her colonies can form a Zolverein which shall eclipse that confederation whose pretensions now perplex our merchants and our Ministers. But the Tariff which regulates our commerce requires a ge neral revision. The recent changes that have been made in it do but point out, and in some measure increase, its anomalies and inconsistencies,. Why some foreign productions which enter into competition with our own are to be admitted at a nominal duty,.while Tea, so important an article of consump tion to our people, is charged with a duty equivalent to 200 per cent., and Tobacco with one equal to 000 per cent., baffles all explanation. Nor can any cause be shown why some of our native productions and manufactures should be subjected to ' vexatious restrictions and exorbitant taxes in order to permit a partial system of free imports from other countries. Allow me to stun up my opinions on these subjects in the words of a letter I had recently the honour of addressing to some gen tlemen of Liverpool :—" With respect to the future commercial policy of the country, I am prepared to advocate the removal of these fetters which the present vexatious system of Excise imposes on our native industry, and to reduce all Customs' Duties to that point which will combine the greatest amount of it - Imo:lc with the greatest amount of revenue. Upon the principle of the Navigation Laws I entertain no doubt or hesitation. The wisdom of that system has been mil -1 ply proved by long experience ; nor is it to be endured that our maratime supremacy, and consequent national inviolability, should be endangered in order to gratify the dogmati sm o f a modern school of political philosophy. Against the extreme views of that school I have an this Parliament vindicated the principle that it is the duty of the State to protect the rights and grant the just claims of poverty and labour; nor shall I shrink from asserting, on all occasions, that the State is the protector.of the poor. The recent and general discussion to which the Bank Charter Act has been subjected has failed to convince me that it is wise to maintain its present unyielding character. The require ments of legitimate commerce call for its relaxaton. The system of foreign centralization has made great strides of late. It is, in my opinion, alien to the ancient free cha racter of our people and their municipal institutions, and will, I fear, if earned to the extent developed in measures recently submitted to Parliament by her Majesty's present advisers, produce far more serious and lasting evils than any it can remedy. Your own town contains noble proofs of what local intelligence and energy directed to great, even to national, objects can effect; and we should ill exchange the principles and habits that have produced such results for those which, confining all power and responsibility t o t h e d i stant central authority, take away the incentives to activity and exertion from the local community. From this imperfect exposition of my principles you, gen tlemen, will, perhaps, be able to say whether they qualify me to appear as a Candidate for the Representation of your ancient and loyal Borough. Should you, in those assemblies where the claims of Candidates for that honour are discussed, express an opinion favourable to mine, I shall take the earliest oppor tunity of presenting myself before you, and thus give you the power to demand a fuller .explanation of my views and senti ments than in the limits of an Address I am able to afford; while, on the other hand, should you manifest a disinclination to such opinions, I shall at once desist from the arduous, though honourable, attempt to represent so great a Constitu ency, and incur so vast a responsibility. I have the honour to remain, gentlemen, your obedient servant, London, July 9, 1847 JOHN MANNERS. BLUE COAT HOSPITAL. ON SUNDAY MORNING next, a SERMON will be preached in ST.

CHINESE LlVlNG. — Articles of food form of course the most extensive trade of all ; and it is sometimes a difficult matter to get through the streets for the immense quan tities of fish, pork, fruit, and vegetables which crowd the stands in front of .the shops. Besides the more common kind of vegetables, the shepherds' purse, and a kind of trefoil or clover, are extensively used among the natives here ; and really these things, when properly cooked, more particularly the latter, are not bad. Dining-rooms, tea houses, and bakers' shops, are met with at every step, from the poor man who carries his kitchen or bakehouse upon his back, and beats upon a piece of bamboo to ap prise the neighbourhood of his presence, and whose whole establishment is not worth a dollar, to the most extensive tavern or tea-garden crowded with two or three hundred customers. For a few cash (1000 or 2000=one dollar) a Chinese can dine in a sumptuous manner upon his rice, fish, vegetables, and tea ; and I fully believe that in no country in the world is there less real misery and want than in China. The very beggars seem a kind of jolly crew, and are treated kindly by the inhabitants.—For tune's Three Years' Wanderings in China. A NEGRO'S IDEAS ABOUT CHRISTIANITY.—I felt that the life and character of Jesus Christ were totally different from that of all other men whom I could conceive had ever lived before ; that he was altogether pure and spot less ; that in no sense did he ever seek his own aggran disement in a worldly sense—rejecting the offers of men to make him a king ; that he went about continually do ing good, and performing before thousands such miracles as were quite unheard of previously in the world. It oc curred to me also, that he who could feed thousands with a few loaves and small fishes,—who could calm the raging sea, and raise the dead from the grave, could also, if he willed, have called up an army of men from the dust of the ground; but in place of this, he forbade his followers to fight in his defence, and delivered himself up calmly to the rage of his enemies ; and all this, that he might save from some awful future calamity the whole race of sinful and wicked mankind. To die for his worst enemies, and even to pray for those who were the immediate instruments of his death, seemed to me altogether so different from the ways of the world, as far as I had seen or heard, that I conceived such a sublime and uncommon idea could arise only in the mind of some being - altogether superior to the human race.—Life and Adventures of a Negro King. SCANTINESS OF ANIMAL LIFE IN THE ISLE OF MAN. —I am not aware that there are any fresh -water fish, ex cept the trout, which abounds in many of the rivers, and is generally small. Partridges, woodcocks, grouse, snipes, wild ducks, and puffins, are generally plentiful ; hares are scarce, for want of cover. The bones of red deer and other species are found in different parts of the island, and a race of hardy ponies are bred here ; also short horned cattle, and small mountain sheep, coarse-wooled. The puffin is extremely fat, and reckoned a great delicacy by many. They build their nests in rabbit burrows, and are very prolific. It is said that 5,000 of their young were taken annually, without any apparent diminution of their numbers. Many small hawks, called " meslyns," arrive here from Ireland and the western parts of Scot land. Wilson mentions the existence of eagles, but I have not seen any. The curlew (scolopax arquata) is occasionally seen about the Calf of Mari. Other birds usually seen upon the coast are, gulls, cormorants, shags, herons, crows, &c.. The birds of passage that spend the breeding time on the Calf of Man, are said to consist of eight species, among which are the " alea aretica" (puffin), and " torda " (razor-bill).—Letters fram the Isle of Man. MEDITATIONS OF A YOUNG NEGRO.-When I was even a boy some very strange ideas of time and space en tered my mind. I used to lie down upon the ground and gaze for an hour or two upon the glittering stars with feel ings of indescribable delight. The sun was too dazzling and too splendid to gaze much upon ; but the moon, the mild and gentle moon, and the innumerable clusters of beautiful stars, fascinated my sight, and filled my mind with wonder. For what they were made, how they were made, and of what they were made, altogether puzzled my imagination. I sometimes, however, reasoned thus ; sup pose I were carried this moment to yonder light-star, what then should I see ? More stars I should think. And what then ? More again —still more and more; and then all will be darkness and nothing. But what then would be beyond that darkness ? This was the puzzle. In the same way I reasoned regarding time. After father dies, I shall be king—then I have son, he king--h e h ave son again, more king — more son, more king. And what then ? No end can I see. World turn up—all things end. But how end ? Something must be. I could come to no de finite or satisfactory conclusion ; yet I think that such thoughts prove that Divine Providence, the light of na ture, or whatever it may be called, influenced me to a cer tain degree even in wild, dark Africa.—Life and Adven tures of Zomba, an African Negro King. THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. —The New Houses may be described, in plan, as a vast assemblage of buildings, with the intervening courts, covering an area of nine statute acres, with a frontage to the Thames of nearly one thousand feet. In the centre of the plan is a large octagonal hall, communicating by a corridor and lobby, northward with the House of Commons, and south ward with the House of Lords. In a line with the latter is the Victoria Hall and Gallery, for the royal entrance by the Victoria Tower, at the southwest angle of the plan. Flanking the "Houses" and offices are eleven large open courts; St. Stephen's Hall, and the crypt of old St. Ste phen's, to be used as a chapel for Divine worship; and. old Westminster Hall will form a grand vestibule of en trance to the entire pile. It will comprise fourteen halls, galleries, vestibules, and other apartments, of great capa city and noble proportion; and eight official residences, each a first-rate mansion, that for the Speaker being as large as the Reform Club House. The space between the principal apartments is occupied by open courts, and cor ridors and lobbies, besides libraries, waiting-rooms, &c. In the river front is a central conference hall, with com mittee-rooms and libraries, for the Lords and Commoners, Speaker and Black Rod Usher's apartments, &c.; the whole plan numbering between five and six hundred dis tinct rooms. The principal external features will be the Victoria Tower already named, now built to the height of ninety feet, and to be raised to four hundred feet; the Clock Tower, at the Westminister Bridge end; and the tower of the octagon or Central Hall ; besides the towers in the river front. The exterior is of hard magnesian limestone, from Bolsover, in Nottinghamshire; and the interior of Caeh stone; . The tnain beams and joists are of iron throughout, and the several buildings are fire-proof. The style of the architecture is florid Gothic : we have not, however, space to detail its picturesque enrichments —its canopied niches with statuettes of crowned sovereigns mitred churchmen, and sainted women; its thirty-five shields of arms of the sovereigns of England; its multi tudinous badges, religious and loyal inscriptions; its richly gilt wind vanes, and erect-tiles, noble windows, massive arches, and the numberless embellishments with which the whole pile may be said to bristle. The style employed may be best described in th e arc hi tect ' s own words:—"lt has been his aim to avoid the ecclesiastical, collegiate, cas tellated, and domestic styles, and to select that which he considers better suited to the peculiar appropriation of the building."—Sharpe's London Magazine.
