[censed THE LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY CO., APPELLANTS ; THE OVERSEERS OF THE TOWNSHIP OF WAVERTREE, RESPONDENTS. At the Kirkdale Sessions on Saturday last, an appeal case, which had excited considerable interest amongst railway proprietors, was heard before the Rev. Jonathan Brooks, the Chairman, the Rev. Miles Formby, and Thos. Rawson, Esq. The general plea of the appellants was that they were overrated, and that the principle of the rate was erroneous. Mr. Wilkins appeared for the appellants, and Mr. Hul ton for the respondents. The solicitors for the appellants were Messrs. Clay and Swift; and for the respondents, Messrs. Leigh and Eaton. 'NPre due publication of the rate having been admitted by the appellants, and the service of the notices of appeal admitted by the respondents, the question was agreed on both sides to be tried on its merits. Mr. HELTON briefly stated the case. The appeal was against the parochial rate, laid upon that part of the railway passing through the township of Wavertree, and the length of which was 1 mile, 4 furlongs, and 198 yards —the whole length of the line from Liverpool and Man chester being 31 miles. It was at first considered the more convenient mode to take it at so much a mile, and the calculation c ..„., t ) a mileage on the whole line ; but Mr. Just;, Denman had in the case of the London and South Western Railway (to Southampton) decided other wise, and ruled that it should be on tolls or income in each parish, and that the rate on each should be apportioned to the amount of traffic on that part of the line within it ; and also that if a trade was increased by buildings, they were to be rated also, the property being rateable on a trade not only carried on thereon,but thereby. His clients, there fore took into consideration the whole earnings along the line as the basis. They took the company's reports,admitted to be correct, and found that in 1842, they received in all £237,822—a year not the most favourable, owing to the depression of trade, and the disturbances in the manufac turing districts. They allowed for expenses and deprecia tion, and after all deductions, the rateable sum was found to be between £2,000 and £3,000 a mile. This applied to the whole length of the line, but he should show that the Wavertree part was the most valuable of the whole — much more valuable than any part eastward of the Grand Junction and other lines branching from it. Wavertree had earned more than any part eastward of Chat Moss, for there was not only a line coming into it from Birming ham, but also the Preston line. The calculations had been made by Mr. Wightman, a competent person. The com pany had laat year, notwithstanding its being admitted to be unfavourable, divided 10 per cent. on their capital, and they bad paid the rates with which they had been charged (though not, he admitted, without some grumbling) since the year 1836. He then called John Wightman, surveyor to the parish of Liverpool, who stated that he surveyed all the rateable property of the town. He had made an estimate of the rateable value of the railway. He found the gross receipts of 1842 to be £237,822, under the three heads of coaching, merchandise, and coals. The total expense for that year was £113,205. The Grand Junction Company paid them a rental of X 17,727, and he was himself a shareholder in that line. The total net proceeds for theline f0r1842 without including the rental from the Grand Junction was £124,617. He had allowed for depreciation of moveable stock (engines, carriages, &c)., £3,380, snpposing the whole to be worth £67,600, and taking five per cent. He had also allowed a sum of £1,046 for depreciation of rails, calculating 235 tons of rails to a mile, which, at £8 a ton, would cost £l,BBO, and, as a matter of opinion, he thought they would last twenty years, and when replaced by others at that time would be worth one half—supposing the metal to be then of its present value. He also allowed for a sinking fund. He had in this item calculated 33 miles of rails—inclu ding the tunnels—though there were but 31 miles of di rect railway. That made £1,046, or £3l 14s. a mile. He allowed £21,000 for rent of buildings, &c. He had calculated the cost to be £420,000, five per cent. on which made the £21,000. This value was derived from the rail way. He considered that a fair value for the tenants, and could not well call it more. The warehouses, &c., were only valuable as connected with the railway, and were not worth more. He had allowed tenants' profits at £21,376, or 20 per cent. upon the nett profits of the com pany and themselves—namely, £106,890. The gross de duction on the whole property he took to be £46,802. £77,815 divided by 31 made £2,500 per mile, and the rateable charge made to the company was only £2,200 per ABERCROMBY WARD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, GAL;SWORTHY and NICHOLS, 9 , Cook's-court, Lincoln's Inn, London, for SHELMERDINE, Liverpool ------• SIR,—In one of the placards of our radical friends, before the late triumphant municipal election, they made the inquiry, " Wito IS CHARLES BLOWER?" the now happily successful candidate for Abercromby Ward ; and as Mr. Boutflower has now become a member of our town council, and it is therefore desirable that he should be better known amongst us, I feel disposed to gratify their curiosity. MISCELLANEOUS Mr. Charles Boutflower, then, sir, is a gentleman, by birth and education ; who, by his talents and assiduity, acquired a handsome competence, after a long and labo rious practice as a member of the medical profession, at Colchester; on quitting which place, he was presented with a massive piece of plate, as a token of the grateful esteem and regard of the principal residents in that town, who had for so many years enjoyed the benefit of his professional advice and social intercourse. A few years ago Mr. Boutflower was induced, by the many valuable religious privileges with which Liverpool is so preemi nently blessed, to select it as the place of abode for his declining years—not to spend them in listless indolence or selfish indulgence (which is so commonly considered by the world as " otium cum dignitate"), but in the en joyment of that truest of all luxuries, " the luxury of doing good," amongst the inhabitants ; and his name will, accordingly, be found on the subscription lists and com mittees of most of the religious and charitable institutions with which this great town abounds ; and to promote the objects of which, his time and attention have been inde fatigably devoted. Such, sir, is Mr. Charles Boutflower ! and let the radicals find " THE DITTO " of him, amongst their party, if they can. But, sir„ Mr. Charles Boutflower is something more than this. He is a true Christian man, and a sound con servative Protestant churchman. This the radicals did not require to be told : for they already knew it full well, from the straightforward, manly declaration which was contained in his published address • and from wh ence alone arose the opposition which was raised up against his election, at the eleventh hour ! But they had " no party views," they say, in setting up Mr. Daniel Neilson as his opponent. No party views, sir ! Who will ever believe that the radicals would propose a con servative candidate, as their representative in the coun cil, without " party views" ? Why, sir, they knew well enough that it would be perfectly useless to set up one of their own radicals, as a candidate for Abercromby Ward ; and so they proposed a conservative, in the hope of divi ding our party, as they could not strengthen their own. This is the true trickery of the party all over ! With regard to Mr. Daniel Neilson, I have no wish to say one word against him. Believing him to be a gentle man, and giving full credit to his published declaration, that he " neither was a radical nor intended to be one," I can only suppose that the statement contained in the radical placards, that he had " consented to sit" as their representative in the council, " if he had been elected," was only "an ingenious device of the enemy." Had Mr. Daniel Neilson, or any other influential conservative, been earlier proposed, I have reason to know that Mr. Boutflower would never have consented to his name being used ; as it was only in consequence of the earnest recommendation of others, and from a sense of public duty, and not from any wish of his own, that he became a candidate. I am, sir, yours faithfully, A BURGESS OF ABERCROMBY WARD ~- TO THE CONSERVATIVE BURGESSES OF LIVERPOOL. GENTLEMEN :—About twelve months since, I told you, through the medium of this paper, " that with proper ex ertion, the sixteen wards might be ours at the next muni cipal election." Gentlemen, that such was not the result of the late contest I am compelled to own, has grievously disappointed, but not surprised me, for as proper exertion was not made at the proper time, it was wholly impossi ble to obtain a complete, an overwhelming victory. But still, gentlemen, we ought to have won a ward or two more ; Scotland, in which the contest was gallantly fought, (albeit, we derived no aid from influence that ought to have been exerted in our favour,) was lost by the merest accident; a duplicate voter thoughtlessly gave his vote where it could not be of the least possible service. That unfortunate error lost us the ward.

The prisoner was then removed, i In Vauxhall ward, a gentleman not at all ambitious of the honour, was brought forward at the eleventh hour, and as might naturally be anticipated, we were defeated : far different would have been the result if the late representa tive bad only three weeks since consented to stand again: we would have returned him, triumphantly. All the local influence of an individual who appears to have assumed the office of perpetual dictator of Vauxhall ward would then have been " tried in the balance and found wanting." As to Castle-street, several gentlemen to whose opinions I am bound to pay the utmost deference, thought it would not be prudent to contest that ward, although the register never stood so much in our favour as it does at present; and if a first-class candidate had been before the constitu ency at an early period, Castle•street ward, I hesitate not to say, would now be rejoicing in one Conservative coun cillor. The fourth ward, St. Anne's, was most foolishly lost by dissension► among ourselves ; we forgot that " a house divided against itself cannot stand." Our party differ ences were, it is true, made up, but it was too late; the enemy, during our inactive state, had stormed the out works, and no after efforts could dislodge him. This un• fortunate occurrence will, I hope, for the future impress upon the minds of the Conservative burgesses of St. Anne's ward, that, " Union is strength,' an. that " United we stand, divided we fall." Next November, gentlemen, thirteen conservatives retire, and we must be up and do ing ; he who has never worked must then work, and he who has always worked, must then work double tides, for it will be a fearful, a desperate struggle, 'more desperate, perhaps, than any in which we have been hitherto engaged. With the enemy it will be a case of life or death, and no means, however corrupt and vile, will be unresorted to by the radical faction, in order to obtain a majority of the wards. But if conservatives will only exert themselves, there is, there can be, nothing to fear ; bring sixteen can didates early into the field, and depend upon it, (and you are now told so by one whose words have more than once been prophetic,) you will win the sixteen wards, in des pite of anti-monopoly associations. of humbugging free trade placards, and of that greatest humbug of all, the Anti-corn-law League. Gentlemen, look at Stockport, the head-quarters (if I may be allowed to coin a word,) of Cobdenism ; there, even under the very nose of the itinerant M.P. seven con servative councillors have been returned against three radicals! Glory to Stockport! I conclude this hasty letter with an appropriate quota tion (somewhat altered certainly,) from the most loyal and patriotic poet that this or any other country ever gloried in producing : " This borough never did, nor ever shall Become the prey of Radical or Whig, Unless she first cloth help to wound herself.

In the upper gal lery, we observed also most of the pupils of the schools in connection with the society, and other young persons, in neat attire ; and the whole, including the crowded platform, presented a spectacle highly pleasing to all in_ 1 terested in the good work of scriptural education. About twelve o'clock, the Lord Bishop of the diocese, followed by numbers of the clergy and gentry, entered the room, and, his lordship taking the chair, arranged themselves around him. The front seat of the choir im mediately behind was chiefly occupied by ladies, and an appropriate voluntary on the organ gave additional solem nity to the occasion.

The proceedings were opened by singing the 100th Psalm, and, after some appropriate prayers, read by the Rev. the Secretary, The LORD BISHOP rose, and addressing the assemblage as Christian friends, said that in opening the business of the day it was not necessary for him to state that they were met to receive the annual report of the society, or to do more than allude to th e c i rcums t ances under which it had been formed circumstances which had greatly changed outwardly within the last seven years. In what degree these circumstances would affect the prospects and support of the society they were more competent to form an opinion than himself. Those who were acquainted with the facts (and we understood his lordship to allude to the present improved system pursued at the corporation schools) had informed him that though the object in view had also been taken up elsewhere, those circumstances ought to operate in favour of the society, though they might have in some degree diverted public attention from it. He hoped, however, that the society would not he allowed to suffer in consequence of that change, or in other words from its success when it stood alone; for it would be hard if, because those who supported it i could not now produce that excitement in the public mind 1 _......, ..e a most delightfully enthusiastic in- entleinen and others, who have been in the habit ot which formerly prevailed, such an institution should not spector.
