The following days and plac.is among others were definitely fixed :—York shire : Saturday, July 10, at the Castle of York.—Nar thern Division of Lancashire : Saturday, August 7, at the C tstle of Lancaster.—Southern Division of Lancashire Wednesday, August 11, at Liverpool S.” CAM-SHIP SAnAti SANDS.—This fine auxiliary screw ier will sailto-morrow under most favourable auspices. her return to port she has been placed in the graving order to ship her original screw, the one she tried ge having been found inferior in gaining on the past vo „ct to that which bad been previously used. The success that has attended the Sarah Sands is most remarkable, par ticularl:: when we consider her as one of the first efforts, in fact the pioneer, of ocean screw-steaming. Her average ,assages to the westward have been under eighteen days, ad those to the eastward little over sixteen days, and such RS been the stability of both her hull and machinery, tat since her construction little or no repairs have been paired. While in the graving dock, Captain Thompson tertained a party of friends on board to dinner, which excellence and variety could not be surpassed, the table olaying not only the substantials of England but the cacie America, in poultry, game, and fruit. -'et those present were Mr. Court, Mr. John Mr. Oddie, Mr. Ilsley, Mr. Wilson, and others. ropriate toasts were given. ” Success to the ds" was neatly responded to by Captain "The owners, as the leaders of ocean screw was replied to by Mr. Oddie, with much taste. ltb, of Captain Thompson."

While the arty were at dinner the ship was left " high and dry" on e blocks, which gave a favourable opportunity to the -eral scientific gentlemen on board for a thorough in the result of whose opinions may be simply " A better ship never floated." DARING ROBBERY AT WEST DERBY.—About half ,ast one o'clock on Wednesday morning ten men, armed `h biumlerbusses and pistols, and with crape over their broke into Lower-house, West Darby, the residence Owens The villians proceeded first to the d-room, where four men were sleeping, however, subdued by the threats of the robbers, made no resistance. The burglars then lEft the men's med up in the words, servant-men's be and went into the apartment of the female servants, )m they demanded to be shown to Mr. Owens' room. The servants refused, whereupon one of the mis creants struck a female severely, and they left the room, and proceeded to Mr. Owens' bed-room. This gentle man, being disturbed by the noise, held his room door for ome time ; but the thieves succeeded in bursting it and struck Mr. Owens severely on the head, causing 1 to flow down his garments. They demanded and money, which he gave them. The thieves eked the lower part of the house, and even had auuacity to open the piano and play upon it. They took away with them a large quantity of plate, several and about £BO in money. Information of the communicated as soon as possible to the ty constabulary, who are on the track of the villains, it is expected that they will he soon in custody. On inesday a man named George France was apprehended Collingwood-street by Grisentbwaite, one of the rerpool detectives, and two county officers. France s brought before the county magistrates on Thursday, ,d identified as one of the burglars. He was remanded r further examination. is plate .so raw. ge Wee PUBLIC MEETINGS TOWN COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS The monthly meeting of the council was held on Wed nesday, the mayor in the chair. The report of the Finance Committee comprised a recommendation " that it is expedient that the clerk of the peace for this borough be paid by salary, at the sum of £7OO per annum, the corporation providing the necessary stationery and printing, and a proper repository for the records; the clerk of the peace providing his own clerks and assistants ; and that a further sum, not exceeding £lO,OOO, be borrowed under the provisions of the public baths and washhouses act," Recommendation confirmed. Mr. WOODRUFF asked what measures were being taken to complete the Wavertree Park ?—Mr. HORNDY replied that a most satisfactory arrangement had been made with the railway company ; and that the only thing now wanted was a definite understanding with Mr. Leigh as to the purchase of a small plot of land. That effected, plans would be forthwith laid before the council. WATCH COMMITTEE'S REPORT OF THE JOUGHIN CASE, &C. The report of the sub-committee was to the effect that, according to the evidence adduced before them, the pub lic-house of J oughin was better conducted than others in the neighbourhood ; and that he had been regularly in the habit of giving information to the police with respect to the movements of thieves and prostitutes. The sub committee do not entirely exonerate Mr. Dowling ; but they consider that Mr. Quick was not open to the cen sure of the magistrates. since, from the evidence adduced, they are of opinion that he did not furnish to Mr. Brem ner, Joughin's solicitor, the names of the officers. The sub-committee deem also that the officers were compelled to answer the subpoena to Kirkdale ; and that in giving evidence, therefore, they were blameless. They consider, too, after a careful consideration of the evidence, that there was not sufficient ground for imputing falsehood to Butler, Kelly, and Sleigh. The report complains of neg he part of the detective force ; and some im- TUESDAY On Tuesday, being market-day, they attended the Corn Exchange, accompanied by Mr. Robt. Woodward, Mr. Duncan Gibb, Mr. T. Bold, and a few friends, and were introduced to the leading merchants, millers, &c. The canvass, we understand, was most successful, especially as contrasted with that made by the Conservative candidates at the last election, when Brunswick-street was undenia bly hostile. When upon the point of leaving the Ex change, a very serious calamity occurred, the whole of the centre flooring of the building giving way, and carry ing with it the candidates, their friends, and about a hun dred of the corn merchants and others. The scene was a very startling one ; and those who were standing upon that portion of the floor which was left entire probably felt it more than the parties who went down in the cellars below, being in momentary expectation of sharing even a worse fate. Happily no serious injury was sustained by any of the parties in the room ; but we lament to say that two of the workmen, who were at the time getting their dinners under one of the arches of the building, lost their lives ; and that another was seriously hurt. The unfor tunate occurrence was alluded to in very feeling terms by Mr. Mackenzie, at the evening meeting in Rodney -street Ward ; but—alas for their taste !—it has not, although thus attended with calamity, escaped being made a source of Whig-Radical attempts at wit. On Tuesday evening, Messrs. Turner and Mackenzie were announced to attend a meeting of the electors of Great George, Rodney-street, and Abercromby Wards, on which occasion a demonstration took place that re minded us of the old spirit of Lverpool Toryism. A pro cession was formed of the trades of the town, which escorted the candidates from the Adelphi Hotel, down Ranelagh-street, up Bold-street, and along Berry-street and Great George-street to the Assembly Rooms, with a band of music playing, and a procession of banners float ing in the air. The procession was of great length, com prising a large portion of the most respectable merchants and tradesmen of the town ; and was heartily greeted from the well-filled windows of the streets through which it The candidates had joined the procession in a carriage and four ; but the horses were taken out by the populace, and the carriage was drawn by them to the place passed of meeting amidst enthusiastic cheering When the procession arrived at the Assembly-rooms, it was found that they were not capable of holding a tenth or a twentieth part of the vast concourse assembled. The meeting was, therefore, adjourned to the open space op posite Dr. Raffles' Chapel, whence the candidates addressed them, or, at all events, so many of them as their voices could reach. The lungs of a Stentor, a speaking trumpet, or a railway whistle would have been required to reach all, the space being crowded as far as the top of Duke-street. The fact was rendered unmistakeable by this meeting that the Conservative candidates, notwithstanding all the hum bug about the cheap loaf, are the popular candidates. . . Mr. N. D. BOLD presided at the meeting, which was addressed by Messrs. Mackenzie and Turner, who were most enthusiastically cheered. Mr. J. A. Tobin moved and Dr. Trench seconded the first resolution ; and a vote of thanks to the chairman was proposed by Mr. Alderman Cooper, and seconded by Mr. Waddington. Three cheers were given for the Queen, three for the candidates, and three for the Earl of Derby, after which the meeting adjourned to the interior of the Assembly Rooms, which had been crowded whilst the candidates were addressing the assembly out of doors. The proceedings were of same gratifying character which had marked the whole of the canvass. WEDNESDAY. On Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Mackenzie and Mr. Turner, with a few friends, visited the Exchange, where they were most enthusiastically received, and proceeded from the room to Messrs. Littledale and Co.'s office, from the windows of which they addressed the merchants and a numerous audience below. As the latter gentleman was concluding his speech, Mr. Cardwell, :with Mr. Evart, and a number of his committee, entered the area of the Exchange, and proceeded to the office of Messrs. H. and J. Hornby, with a view to address his friends from one of the windows. This was the commencement of a scene such as has never, we believe, been witnessed in Liverpool. It was evidently felt by the multitude assembled that the intrusion of the Whig-Radical candi dates at that particular moment was a piece of bravado ; and it was resented so as to render bath the gentlemen perfectly inaudible. It was raining in torrents during the whole of the time that they were making a vain attempt to be heard ; and altogether their reception appeared to disconcert them and their friends. At the conclusion of Mr. Ewart's address, that gentleman announced that his fellow-candidate and himself were about to visit the Exchange News-room. And, a few minutes afterwards, they proceeded across the flags and entered the room. When they had reached the south end, Mr. Cardwell took his place upon one of the tables, evidently with a view of addressing the assembled merchants. He was dislodged, however, without having made the attempt to speak ; and in a very short time, in a manner which very likely he is not yet cool enough to describe, found himself and his friends outside of the building in which he had intended to make an oratorical display. In the evening, we find that he consoled himself by addressing a meeting of his can vassers and friends, who were admitted by ticket, at the Royal Motel, Dale-street. Messrs. Turner and Mackenzie on the same evening attended a meeting at West Derby Ward, where they were most enthusiastically received. Alderman J. N. Wood was unanimously called to the chair, and amongst those present were Messrs. F. Shand, T. Bold, L. Peel, A. Henderson, R. Aked, R. Sanders, W. Rowett, J. Gaskell, W. Whatham, J. Bailey, Jno. Whitby, Wm. Pearson, H. Bremner, Dr. Lister, H. Golding, T. Tat. tershall, J. G. Livingstone, Wm. Mynn, &c. The speeches of the two candidates contained a sound expo sition of Conservative opinions; and the meeting was subsequently addressd by Mr. Rowett, Mr. Whatham, Mr. F. Shand, Mr. T. Bold, and Mr. Alderman Wood. At the close the candidates, with their friends, proceeded to another meeting of Everton and Kirkdale Wards, which was held at the Liver Hotel, Mr. G. H. Lawrence taking the chair. The proceedings here were most enthu siastic ; and, after leaving the meeting, the horses having been taken out of the carriage, Messrs. Mackenzie and Turner, amidst the most enthusiastic demonstrations, were drawn by the populace to the Adelphi Hotel. Several gentlemen accompanied the carriage ; and the cheering throughout the route was hearty in the extreme. At Messrs. Cardwell and E wart's committee room three groans were given for the Radical and Romanist candi dates. Everywhere, though it was ten o'clock at night, doors and windows were thrown open to greet Messrs. Mackenzie and Turner, who, together with " the Queen," " the Earl of Derby," and " our Protestant Institutions," were frequently and loudly cheered. THURSDAY. The most enthusiastic and overwhelming reception of all remained for Thursday, and took place at the Cotton sales-room, which, as our readers are aware, is at the top of the 'Change-buildings, and a public meeting in that place may be taken as a certain indication of the feelings of the mercantile community, the class of all others most interested in the prosperity of the port. The room was crowded to excess by merchants off 'Change and gentle men of the highest respectability, and on Messrs. Mac kenzie and Turner making their appearance, they were most vociferously cheered. Mr. James Tyrer was called to the chair, and amongst those present were Messrs. Edward Byford, B. Darbyshire, J. T. Glazebrook, H. C. Chapman, George Beley, F. Foster, Thomas Royden, J. Lockett, Thompson, William Rowett, Robert Hors fall, Glynn, W. Biackburne, John Hay, Thos. Branch, Charles Campbell, Parsons, Arthur Henderson, Thos. Hague, J. N. Wood, Edward Banner, James Bold, Thos. Bold, Wm. Fisher, 11. Littledale, J. T. Raynes. Thomas Robinson, Edward Lawrence, J. A. Tobin, T. H. Holder ness, E. G. Deane, F. Shand, W. H. Moss. J. B. Moore, Duncan Gibb, J. Cooper, and Parker, Esqrs. We have not hitherto, in noticing the week's proceed ings, given the speeches made by either of the candidates themselves. We must, however, give the speech of the Chairman of the meeting at the Cotton Sales-room—Mr. Tyrer—as adding his testimony to that of Mr. Lockett, Mr. Bramley-Moore, and others, of Mr. Cardwell's be ,s pledges to support the principle of the navi ;, and, at the same time, exhibiting his pecu liarly Protestant (!) opinions upon the subject of the recent Papal aggression :—The Chairman said he felt a great responsibility in taking the chair, because upon the vote of the electors assembled depended very much the success of the two candidates, and of Lord Derby's go -,rnipent. (Hear, hear.) He also wished to mention -curnstance which caused him to be in the chair that gation laws 1 the c because at the last election ne was a supporter of Mr. Cardwell ; an d th e reas on he gave his vote to that Aleman was, that he pledged himself over and over (Cries of " Ho did," " He never did," " He Ind some confusion.) He pledged himself, over chairman,) in his office, be- air], to (t Iliam Smith, who came with him ; and was that he (the chairman) should ask for such a ly interested in shippin len he uestion to Mr. Cardwell over and over a . oai _ . wort him unless he would wiaation lazy except ch he (the ch Mr. Tyrer. I will not go He (the chairman) said, " But why will you not give a pledge to the different meetings ?" Mr. Cardwell replied, " Because a member of the House of Commons is thought nothing of that pledges himself ; but," he added, " to you I pledge my self that I will not vote against it." (Hear, hear, and expressions of disapprobation.) He (the chairman) then asked him about the endowment of the Romish priesthood, and lie said, " Mr. Tyrer, I will pledge myself in the same way on that." He saw Mr. Cardwell immediately after Lord John Russell's letter came out ; had a long conversation with him, and said, " Mr. Cardwell, I am going over to Lord John Russell's government ; I am so pleased with that letter, that I will support his govern ment." Mr. Cardwell said, " The letter is written for a purpose." Ile (the chairman) said, " Mr. Cardwell, what man could write a letter such as that for a purpose, as you state ?" He said, " Ye 3, it is written for a pur pose ; and I will tell you another thing ; Lord John Rus sell brought in a bill to the cabinet, but I am happy to tell you it was cut up into mince meat ;" and (continued Mr. Tyrer) Mr. Cardwell snapped his fingers over and over again. (Expressions of disapprobation.) For these two reasons he would not vote for Mr. Cardwell. He could not give him a vote after those two broken pro mises. He had no faith in him, whatever he might. say. Mr. Cardwell must really excuse him •, he had no confi dence whatever in that man. (Hear, and cheers.) Therefore he was delighted to find two candidates brought forward in whom he had entire confidence. He had known one of them for twenty-five years, and the other for two years and a half ; and when he was introduced to the latter he said, " I wish we had such a member as Mr. Mackenzie for Liverpool," little thinking then that they should have him as one of their candidates on this occasion. (Cheers.) Mr. Meceeezie, in addressing the meeting, referred in happy terms to the circumstances which had induced him to present himself as a candidate for Liverpool. "He should not have thought of proposing himself for their acceptance, had not the requisition, so numerously and respectably signed, been presented to him, which put an end to all doubts and difficulties on his part, because it showed him that a large majority of the respectibility of this town wished him to be their representative. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) In obedience to that call, he had left another constituency, which he had represented for fifteen years, and which, at the next election, would most un questionably have returned him without a contest. (Hear, near.) But he felt not only that it was his duty to his party to go where his services were most required, but also, to a man of ordinary ambition, the idea of the re presentation of the first port in the world was no little thing. (Great cheering.) Ho was here, therefore, not coming of his own accord, but at their request, and in their hands he placed himself and his future political pros pects. (Hear, hear.)" Equally happy was his allusion to the appearance on Change of the Whig-radical candi dates. " Their present representative yesterday appeared on 'Change—(loud laughter, and cries of " Oh, oh") — and though he ,Mr. Mackenzie) could not say that Mr. Cardwell's reception there was of the most flattering de scription, yet in the Liverpool Times of that morning he saw a report of a speech which Mr. Cardwell was sup posed to have made ; for although he (Mr. Mackenzie) was at the time in the close neighbourhood, he protested to them that lie could not hear one syllable. In the re corded speech he perceived that Mr. Cardwell said lie had come down to Liverpool to give an account of his steward ship, that he had come here to prove to the shipping inte rest of Liverpool that they were in a state of delusion when they supposed that their interests were suffering, that he knew better than they did what their true interests were. He said, moreover, that he (Mr. Mackenzie) and his colleague, Mr. Turner, in the various speeches they had made, had placed this question upon the wrong basis. Now he (Mr. Mackenzie) would like to know before what jury was the issue to be tried ? If it was to be tried by the shipping interests, he thought Mr. Turner and him self had a better chance of a verdict than Mr. Cardwell. (Hear.) Mr. Cardwell appealed also to the voices of this constituency, at the same time telling them that, for the most part, he considered their voices most treacherous ones. Ile said, ` were the liberties of Liverpool to be carried away by the treacherous voice of those who voted for his political opponents.' He (Mr. Mackenzie) left them (the electors) to appropriate that compliment to themselves. (Laughter and cheers.) But upon the question of the shipping laws, when their opponents appealed to a great man's memory and to his acts—he meant Mr. Huskisson —when they appealed to Mr. Huskisson in defence of the entire sweeping away of the navigation laws, lie asked was there anything which Mr. Huskisson did which could justify such a course ? He no doubt relaxed the naviga tion laws ; but for every relaxation which he made he demanded something in return from foreign countries ; and satisfied as he (Mr. Mackenzie) was, that, in this country, it was not easy for those acts to be repealed and for legislation upon those great interests to retrogade, he looked to some such process as that for the relief which the shipping interest required, and he thought if we could obtain from foreign countries something like those reci procity treaties which Mr. Huskisson obtained, that even then we should be able to compete with the whole world." One of the best received portions of the honourable gen tleman's speech was his promise, which we know will be fulfilled, that, "if they returned him as one of their members to the House of Commons, he would devote himself with the assiduity with which he had always devoted himself to his work in parliament, and take care that their local interests should not suffer in his hands ; and on no occasion should any Liverpool man come to London and seek for parliamentary assistance, and ask it from him in vain." Mr. TURNER, in the course of a very able speech, recurred to the opinions which, at the time of the last election, were understood to be held by Mr. Cardwell on the subject of the navigation laws. With respect to the navigation laws, which they had all so deeply at heart, and upon which depends the prosperity of this great town—for without the shipping of this great port there would be no occasion for its docks, and without the ship ping of this great port he need not tell them that the land would be of little value, that its warehouses would be of little value, and that its tradesmen would have no business. (Hear, hear.) He was one of those who thought reforms were necessary in the progress of human events. Some reforms which were substantially neces sary could have been made in the navigation laws as they originally stood ; but he believed it was uuderstood by the gentlemen who supported Mr. Cardwell at the last election, that he was favourable to such a reform as would be of benefit to British shipping ; but it was never understood that he would vote in favour of the entire abrogation and repeal of the navigation laws. Whatever might be said on either side, that was clearly the under standing of a great majority of the largest shipowners and merchants of this port. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The abrogation of those laws had been, in his (Mr. Turner's) opinion, a cause of the greatest injury and loss to British shipping, for they were well aware of the ruinous freights with which ships came home from the East Indies and other parts, within the last twelve months, freights which would scarcely pay the port charges. They were told. and referred to statistics—which it was well known might be dressed up to suit any purpose or any argument for which they were required—that the shipowners ought to believe they are in a prosperous state ; but the profit and loss accounts were on the wrong side, and would tell a very different story. (Hear, hear.) Those were the best proofs whether they were gaining or losing money. There was no difference between fair trade and free trade, but there was a great difference between what their opponents called free trade and what he and his party contended was fair trade. Fair trade was free trade over the world ; and no merchant would object to carry out free trade to the fullest extent, so long as it was fair trade, and sub jected him to no disadvantages compared with the foreign merchant and shipowner. He would not detain them long with going into details, but a number of instances might be enumerated, in which the British shipowner in his transactions with other nations of the world was placed at a disadvantage. They were well aware that an American ship came here and took stores to Australia, while a British ship could not go to New York and take a cargo to California. (Hear, hear.) They must be well aware also, that French and other foreign vessels had a similar advantage over British ships. His opinions on this subject he had frequently expressed during his inter course with many gentlemen around him, and he need not go further into it. The meeting was subsequently addressed by Mr. F. Shand, Mr. Robert Woodward, Mr. Moss, Mr. Harold Littledale and Mr. Bramley-Moore. The latter assisted in settling for ever Mr. Cardwell's breach of faith with respect to the Navigation Laws. Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE said :—He congratulated Mr. Tyrer on the manly manner in which he had come forward that day, and denied that which Mr. Cardwell had so often asserted in this town—that he never gave any pledge on the Navigation Laws. (Hear, hear.) Here they had a gentleman who was known from his cradle to the people of Liverpool, who stated most emphatically that Mr. Cardwell gave a pledge to him, that he would never vote for the repeal of the vital principles of those laws. (Hear, hear.) How far Mr. Cardwell had redeemed. that pledge every man in this town knew, and also how far he had redeemed his promises on other subjects. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Mr. Bramley-Moore proceeded to show that Mr. Cardwell had made a similar promise on the subject of the Navigation Laws to Mr. Lockett, late chairman of the Shipowners' Association, and he put it to the meeting whether, with their experience of Mr. Card well's conduct, they would believe his jesuitry and casuistry, or they would believe honest townsmen, who stated that he gave them distinct pledges ? (Cheers.) When Mr. Cardwell appeared on 'Change—(cries of " Oh! oh !" and laughter)—he thought his reception there would have been sufficient to satisfy him of the estimation in which he was held for his services ;—(hear, hear)—but the facts had been so far perverted, that in every paper he (Mr. Bramley-Moore) had taken up that day, Mr. Card well was described to have had " a most flattering recep tion." (Laughter.) They would have been correct if they had said that, instead of a flattering reception, Mr. Cardwell had had a warm one,—(laughter)—for certainly a warm reception he had, but such a one as would cool him and satisfy bins that he could not longer continue to misrepresent Liverpool in Parliament. (Long-continued laughter and cheers.) After alluding to some passages in the address which Mr. Cardwell was said to have de livered, and in which lie characterised the merchants on 'Change as treacherous, Mr. Moore concluded with passing allusion to the letter of Mr. Ewbank, and referred that gentleman to the assertion made that day by Mr. Tyrer, arid to the statements of the other gentlemen who had given evidence against the declaration of .Mr. Card well, that he had never given any pledge. On Thursday night a numerous and enthusiastic meet ing of the electors of St. Paul's and Vauxhall Wards was held at the New York Hotel, Union-street, Mr. Briscoe and Mr. James Tyrer, chairmen of the committees, pre siding. .Aniongst the gentlemen on the platform were Messrs. N. D.11)41,T. Bold, Beecroft, Hebson,Coulborne, Dr. Games, Gibb, G. H. Horsfall, Lovett, Peel, &c. Mr. I3atscoe, in introducing the candidates to the meeting, made some excellent practical appeals to those present as to the fact of the alleged prosperity of the tra ding classes. He remarked :—" It was said by the free traders when electioneering, previously to the abrogation f the n avigation laws, that Liverpool, of all other places, efited by the change. But was that the would be a good six years ago have an every r ow than the were five 0. is income bad bee " I know mine has- while most of th mmodity cue crews of the foreign ships in dock were allowed to use their own tea and coffee, and other articles, duty free. (Hear. hear; " that's the point.") While for every pound of tea they (English consumers) used, they paid a duty of 2s. 241.. and for every pound of sugar 111., fo reign seamen in dock paid no duties at all. (Vehement cheering.) The most important feature in this meeting is the decla ration elicited from Mr. Mackenzie of his opinion upon the subject of the Income Tax. The honourable gentle man said :—" My opinion is simply this. I think it is a tax which ought not to be imposed upon the people of this country in times of peace. (Cheers, avid cries of `'Bravo.") It is a tax which was imposed by Sir Robert Peel, for a temporary purpose in order to get rid of an acknowledged deficiency. It has been my object, ever since the expira tion of the first term, to get rid of that tax without en dangering the public credit. Mr. Herries, a member of the present government, while in opposition, moved a re solution to the effect that, before any other tax was abol ished, the income tax should be repealed. ( Hear, hear') He (Mr. [Terries) said to the government—' If you cannot abolish the tax this year, you admit you have a certain surplus ; take so much of the income tax off as will leave sufficient to meet the public credit.' If that motion had been carried, the whole of the income tax would probably in a short time have been got rid of ; but the Whig go vernment refused to accede to the proposition, preferring to take off other taxes which, as far as my experience goes, do no good to anybody. They took off the duty on bricks, for instance. (Laughter.) In the present state of the revenue, I think it would not be easy for any government, without a surplus, to meddle with the income tax, for if they took it off they would have to place some other tax on ; but I know the opinion of the present go vernment is that the income tax ought not to be imposed in times of peace, and, if circumstances enable them to diminish or abolish it, they will do so." (Applause.) After the candidates had concluded, the meeting was addressed by Dr. James, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Edward Hebson, and Mr. Coleborne. On the motion of Mr. Mackenzie, seconded by Mr. Turner, a vote of thanks was accorded to Mr. Briscoe, and three cheers having been given for the Queen, three for the Earl of Derby, three for the Conservative candi dates, three for Mr. Brainley-Moore, three for Dr. M`Neile, three for the chairman, three for Mr. Gibb, three for Mr. G. H. Horsfall, and three for Mr. Tyrer, and threehearty groans for " Maynooth," the meeting broke up. After the candidates had entered the carriage which was awaiting them in the street, the enthusiastic crowd took away the horses, and, after attaching ropes to the front, drew it along at a rattling pace, amidst the most deafening shouts of applause. In going down Moorfields, on the way to the Adelphi Hotel, they passed the Royal Hotel, where the Radicals and Romanists had been holding a meeting. Three groans were given for " the Pope," fol lowed by exultant cheering, which must have rung pain fully in the ears of their papistical opponents. Arrived at the Adelphi Hotel three cheers were given for the popular candidates, and the crowd gradually dispersed. FRIDAY. On Friday evening, at half-pest eight o'clock, the Con servative candidates met the electors of Lime-street and St. Anne's Wards in the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street. The meeting was one of the most numerous and enthu siastic held during the week. The hall was filled to over flowing, every available space being occupied, and the re ception given to the candidates was hearty in the extreme. Mr. John Buck Lloyd occupied the chair, and amongst those present were Aldermen Edmund Molyneux, James Parker, and Bramley-Moore ; Councillors H. Neill, James Tyrer, James Holme, Samuel Holme, W. Kenny Tyrer ; Messrs. Riding, Jonas Gleave, Adam Norris, N.D. Bold, Robert Horsfall, Lawrence Peel, Geo. H. Horsfall, H. Bremner, Thos. Carson. G. W. Moss, W. 'Watson, Wm. J. Horsfall, J. Peacock, Oliver Hatch, John Pedder, G. Nixon, Ellis Jones, John Thorpe, John Griffiths, Robert Benson, Robt. Hughes, Robt. W. Hodgson, R. P. Man ger, J. R. Cooper. T. B. Molyneux, Thos. Richardson, T. P. Holden, John Kerr, John Overton, Thomas Clarke, W. Butcher, &c., &c. Messrs. Mackenzie and Turner delivered very able ad dresses, the former exposing, in a very striking manner, the dishonesty of Mr. Cardwell's statistics. Mr. Alderman Parker, Mr. Nixon, Churchwarden of St. John's, and Mr. Samuel Holme also spoke, and at the close the electors present, who were joined outside by a great number of persons who were unable to obtain admission, formed a procession, and, with bands of music and great cheering, accompanied the candidates to the Adelphi Hotel. Itgerc, Do ant observations are made upon the present licensing __em and its defects; and upon the large proportion of licensed houses (1,403) in Liverpool, compared with those in Manchester, which number only 481. After considerable discussion the report was confirmed. DOCK COMMITTEE The confirmation of the proceedings of the Dock Com- mittee having been moved, Mr. BIGHAM drew the atten tion of the Council to the subject of the evasion of dock dues, and said he was prepared with a list of the names of some of the most respectable houses in the town, which showed there was a continual system of this evasion going on.—After a discussion the proceedings were confirmed. The proceedings of the Courts of Law, the M arkets, Edu cation, Gaol, Town-ball, Health, and Church Expenditure Committees were then read. The Town-hall Committee proceedings contained a recommendation that a contract be entered into with Mr. William Bulmer for horsing the Mayor's carriages for three years, at the sum of £450 per annum, and to purchase carriages for the Mayor's use, instead of contracting for them ; and those of the church expenditure committee a recommendation that the whole of the pews in the galleries of St. George's Church be ap propriated as free sittings, the consideration of which subject was postponed at the last meeting of the Council. —The proceedings of the committee were confirmed. Mr. HOLT, chairman of the Water Committee, in moving the confirmation of the committee's proceedings, alluded at some length to the late bursting of water pipes at Green-lane, and contended that such casualties were not confined to this locality, but were such as all engi- „., neers calculated on.—Mr:I3ENNETT replied at great length, and contended that the pipes had not been pro perly tested.—After a long discussion the proceedings sere confirmed The Mayor s communications embraced a letter from Mr. James. the assessor, demurring to the legality of the Council reducing the salary of his office, and claiming the amount paid to his predecessor. The consideration of a motion, of which Mr. Parker had given notice, was post poned; and the Council, after five hours' sitting, dissolved. THE WEST DERBY GUARDIANS met, as usual, on Wednesday, but the business was of no public interest. THE LIVERPOOL STEAM TUG COMPANY.—The annual meeting of the old Steam Tug Company was held at the Clarendom-rooms on Wednesday, Mr. Cotesworth, the president, in the chair. Mr. Joseph Williams and other dissentients to the policy pursued by the board were there in attendance, and moved that reporters, as on the pre vious occasion, should be admitted to the meeting. This was met by a counter resolution of the directors, which was carried, and the representatives of the press accord ingly retired. MERSEY YACHT CLUB.—At the monthly meeting, on Tuesday, the following gentlemen were elected :—Mr. Langtry, Belfast, Queen of the Isles yacht, 55 tons, re cently launched, and built at this port; Mr. F. 0. P. Astley, Fellfoot, Windermere Lake, a new yacht of 16 tons, from his own model, and built by Messrs. Cato and Co. ; Mr. Robert Grinnel, merchant ; Mr. Thomas C. Eyton, Derby Castle, Douglas, Columnie yacht, 16 tons; Mr. A. S. Aikin, merchant, and Mr. Henry Thorpe, merchant, of this town. The sailing match for the first and second class yachts will take place on Saturday next, from the Birkenhead ferry. HEALTH COMMITTEE.—At the meeting, on Thursday, Mr. Lansdale presided. River-street, between Finch street and Craven-street, was reported to be in a deplora ble state for the want of drainage. Summonses were ordered to be issued against the owners of the property, to compel them to make the necessary drainage. The medical officer of health reported the number of deaths during the week to be 197, of which 134 were in the parish, and 63 in the extra-parochial wards. The mortality was 16 below that of the previous week, but 12 higher than the average of the corresponding week of the four pre ceding years, exclusive of cholera in 1849.—1 t was agreed that notice should be served upon the Dock Committee, calling upon them to make a footpath in Waterloo-road, where the new wall is built. SELECT VESTRY.-At the meeting, on Tuesday, the Rev. Rector Campbell presided. The Ven. Archdeacon Brooks was also present. The minutes of the Workhouse Committee showed a total number of inmates in the house of 1981 against 1957 in the corresponding period of last year. The proceedings of the Building Committee led to some discussion, from the frequent and costly a lt e r a ti ons made in the plans ; and Mr. Weightman , the architect, was reflected upon for not giving more of his personal atten!ance. There were reported to he 931 sick cases under the charge of the outdoor parish doctors, 222 of (Nirried, permitting motion s well as to chapel on Sunday afternoons, gorenoons, under a proper escort. The board then adjourned. DOCK COT,IMITTEE.—At, the r eehly meeting of the -cda, Mr. Charles Turner pre - ‘ l, ,iars. Shand, Barber, c.

We gave an outline on Tuesday of the course which would be taken by the Conservative candidates in visiting the various wards ; but the actual proceedings of the week embrace a wider sphere than we then laid down, Messrs. Turner and Mackenzie having waited personally upon a large number of the electors. twin d IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. SATURDAY. On Saturday evening, Messrs.

The CH AIRMAN having briefly introduced the candidates, Mr. MACKENZIE advanced to the window overlooking the meeting, and was received with deafening cheers. The honourable gentleman explained the groundlessness of the complaint which had been made against him, of having once voted for Maynooth ; and asked if he was not justified in changing his views by the papal aggression which had since taken place. He proceeded next to ex plain his views upon that question and upon the navigation laws, and ably confuted some of the garbled statistical quotations of Mr. Cardwell ; and concluded an able and eloquent speech by urging upon the electors the impor tance of the crisis in which they were engaged. They had to decide who were to be the men to whom the govern ment of this country was to be entrusted—to Lord Derby, to Lord J. Russell, or to Sir J. Graham, and the party with whom he would be surrounded. He reminded them that the smaller boroughs of the kingdom would look to Liverpool as their example; and having thanked the electors for the gratifying manner in which he had been received throughout the canvas, many of whom, he trusted, would be his friends for life, he said that he must then prepare for returning to his parliamentary duties ; but he trusted to be able to come back again shortly, and stay amongst them till the close of the election, when he should endeavour to canvas every elector personally. The hon. gentleman was enthusiastically cheered throughout his address. • HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TIIURSDAY. PUBLIC BUSINESS. On the order of the day for going into committee of supply, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that since the house last met he had received representations from Irish members that the arrangement made for re suming the debate upon Maynooth College was not a fair arrunirement for them, and he therefore unposed that the adjourned debate should take place on Tuesday morn ing instead of Friday. With respect to the public busi ness undisposed of, it would greatly facilitate the despatch of the unfinished business if members would act with for bearance, and, on the motion for going into committee of supply, bring forward only topics of a very urgent charac ter.—Sir J. GRAHAM olserved that the house was like wise entitled to some forbearance from the Government. It was a question of primary importance what were the measures necessary for the house to consider this session, and in what order. With respect to the Maynooth ques tion, the discussion, although it had been admitted that it must be fruitless, was still pending. If the Government were of opinion that this question should be decided, it should be fixed, not for a morning sitting, but for an evening discussion.—Mr. EPOONER said he only wanted to know the opinion of the house, ay or no, whether the subject deserved inquiry. —Lord J. RUSSELL said that was not the question before the house, but that a com mittee be appointed to consider what was the system of education at Maynooth.—The CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER said he would state on Monday what were the intentions of the Government with respect to the public SUPPLY. business The house then went into committee of supply upon the civil service estimates. Certain votes were agreed to, after much discussion, in the course of which a conversa tion of some interest occurred on the vote for the com bined system of national education in Treland.—Mr. WAL POLE having disavowed any intention on the part of the Government to supersede the system, Sir J. GRAHAM pressed him to say not merely what was not, but what was their intention.—Mr. WALPOLE replied that he thought it was worthy of consideration whether some por tion of the grant might not be applied to those who from conscientious motives objected to the present mode of distribution.—The conversation expanded into other mat ters, partly of a personal nature. At its conclusion the Chairman reported progress, and had leave to sit again on Friday. LAW REFORM. An unruly person, who had been frequently attempting to interrupt the meeting, was here removed from the meeting by a policeman. We learnt that his name is Mullen, and that he is, or was, the proprietor of a tea shop near the George Hotel, Dale-street. Mr. TURNER next addressed the meeting in an effective and truly Protestant speech, which was enthusiastically received. _ . . Mr. SAMUEL lIOLME moved the first resolution, adopting Messrs. Mackenzie and Turner as the Conser vative candidates for Liverpool, and in a speech of con siderable length, characterized throughout by a vigorous and manly tone, contrasted the happiness and security which Protestant England had enjoyed as compared with those European nations who were under the enslaving doctrin's of Rome. After referring briefly to the state of Ireland, as it had come under his own observation, and to the conversions from Romanism which were taking place there, he exposed most forcibly the manner in which Sir Thomas Birch bad been ejected from Liverpool. to make way for the bright and brilliant intellects of Mr. J. C. Ewart, and the Whig party compelled to succumb to the domination of the Irish Romanist party. Mr. Cardwell had made a dis , ..ngenuous use of a letter of his. He would now show it to the chairman to satisfy the meeting that it was a genuine document, and it should be left for inspection on Tuesday in the window of the Courier-office. Mr. JOHN LOCKETT seconded the resolution, and took the opportunity of repeating his exposure of Mr. Card well's conduct towards him upon the question of the Navigation Laws. When Mr. Lockett bad concluded, a question was put to Mr. Mackenzie, from amongst the crowd, whether he would present a poor man's petition as well as a rich man's ; and, in reply, the hon. gentleman stated that he should pay even more attention to the poor man's. The meeting was subsequently addressed in a vigorous speech by Mr. Edward Lawrence, and some other gentle men spoke briefly in moving and seconding a vote of thanks to the chairman. At the conclusion of the pro ceedings, which lasted till a late hour, the candidates were escorted by the enthusiastic populace to the Adelphi Hotel. Thus terminated the week's canvass, which has been of a most satisfactory character throughout. The Common Law Procedure Bill and the Masters its Chancery Abolition Bill were read a second time almost without discussion ; and Mr. Slaney's Industrial and Provident Partnership Bill was read a third time and passed ; and e.fter advancing some other measures a stage the house adjourned at two o'clock. FRIDAY, JUNE 4. At the morning sitting the house went into Committee of Supply, and was occupied in the discussion of civil service estimates. _ _ At the evening sitting, on the order of the day for going into committee upon THE NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT BILL, Sir J. PAKINGTON explained certain changes which he proposed to make in the bill. Since the second reading he had received suggestions, intrinsically valuable, from several quarters entitled to the greatest weight. These suggestions he examined in detail, arriving at the conclu sion that he preferred the bill as it stood to either of the alternatives they offered ; but having had an opportunity of consulting parties connected with the different provin cial localities in New Zealand, as well as others interested in the colony, he had taken their opinions, and was able to say that they unanimously desired that the bill should be proceeded with as it stood rather than either of the alternatives should be adopted. Anxious, however, to meet the suggestions he had referred to as far as he could, he had determined, with the consent of the parties he had consulted, to make an important alteration. namely, that instead of the superintendents of the pro vinces being nominated by the governor, they should be elec►ed. He proposed, likewise, to leave to the different localities the question of salaries. Sir John further ex plained his final opinions respecting the New Zealand Company, namely, that, instead of ss. per acre, the com pany should receive one-fourth of the purchase-money on sales of waste lands ; his object being to secure to that company whatever it was entitled to under the art of 1847. With respect to the disposal of lands in the colony. he intended to place at the disposal of the local legislature all revenues derivable from any mineral discoveries.—Sir W. MOLESWORTH was ready to prove that the New Zealand Company had obtained the act of 1847 by misre presentation.—Mr. MANGLES, on the part of the com pany, was fully prepared to meet such a charge. The house then went into committee on the bill. oe w_ f i f n o g u r a t e ; r n t i t n h s e the provincial wereooul e g i losi made nthrough w g ttrlfo:oed—rAeaoThilmanaror.e odAl aeo t et h s ido e l c f2rr l 2,o 7 eat s ni de s h: q t i 29th clause, the period for disallowing bills was reduced. 74th clause, the chairman reported to sit again on Thursday.

It is an annual ceremony, usually held on the 29th of May, but postponed on the present occasion. The ladies and gentlemen of the neighbourhood attended in great num bers, so that every available spot was filled ; and the wea ther was most propitious. An amateur band was in at tendance, and•the school-room was beautifully decorated with wreaths and festoons of flowers and evergreens. Bar tholomew Bretherton, Esq., who was in attendance, with his family, was loudly cheered on his entrance and de parture. On the tables being cleared, the Rev. Thomas Ingham, incumbent of Rainhill, was called to the chair, when interesting addresses were delivered by him, the Rev. Mr. Carr, of St. Helens, Rev. Messrs. Nunn and Williamson, of Parr, Reginald Radcliffe, Esq., and a nother gentleman, from Liverpool, and Mr. Owen, one of the churchwardens. WARRINGTON.

RATING OF THE BIRKENHEAD DOCKS.—In the action lately brought against the trustees of the Birkenhead docks for payment of poor-rates, the Court of Queen's Bench took time to consider whether the trustees were entitled to exemption. The ground of the claim for ex emption was, that the docks were established for the use of the public, and that any profit which might accrue was to be applied for the public benefit. On Thursday, Lord Campbell delivered the judgment of the court, to the effect that the rate was valid. The judgment was, therefore, for the respondents, but without costs.
