A second meeting of the conservative electors of Scot land Ward was held at the house of Mrs. Barton, Bur lington-street, on the evening of Tuesday last. Shortly before eight o'clock, the chair was taken, amid loud cheers, by Mr. Alderman Houghton. Mr. Councillor ASPINALL rose to propose the first re solution, and was, as usual, received in that spirit of un bounded enthusiasm which his public and consistent character through life has so justly deserved. He said that it afforded him intense pleasure to meet the electors of Scotland Ward, and to encourage them to pursue that onward course of conservative action which had so nobly distinguished them on former occasions. He regretted, however, to have to inform them that Mr. Thomas Wil son had declined the honour of becoming their candidate. lie was authorised to say that Mr. Wilson having received a most respectably and numerously signed requisition to allow himself to be nominated as a candidate for the ward at the approaching election, and having maturely con sidered whether he could conscientiously accept it from ' his numerous avocations requiring his constant attention, had been reluctantly compelled to decline their kindness on the present occasion, He (Mr. Wilson) begged to be permitted specially to thank those who interested them selves en his behalf and signed the requisition, and to say that having consented to become chairman of the com mittee for conducting the election of Thomas Vernon, Est.- (cheers,)—who had kindly allowed himself to be nominated in his stead—(loud cheers,)—he most respect hilly solicited their votes and interest in favour of that gentleman, being fully convinced that he would do credit to their choice and justice to their municipal conserns. (Renewed cheers.) Mr. Aspinall then proceeded to des ,cant upon the merits of Mr. Vernon's character, undoubted respectability, and staunch conservative principles, and that he milled on the business of an engineer and boiler maker in the ward to a very considerable extent. He concluded by proposing MT. Vernon as a fit and proper person to represent the ward in the Town-council. (Loud cbeerin4;.) Mr. RICHARD &mi.'s:Ds, in seconding the proposi tion,-said he coincided in all Mr. Aspinall had so justly observed respecting the numerous qualifications of Mr. Vernon. The motion was then put and carried anaaimously. Mr. Councillor JONES proposed the second resolution, to the effect that it was incumbent on the electors to use every exertion to secure Mr. Vernon's triumpbant -return. Mr. G. KERPUtD seconded the resolution, Which was also unanimously adopted. Mr. Vernon here entered the room, and was hailed with protracted cheering. He said that in 'consequence of the retirement of Mr. Wilson he had been requested by a very large end influential portion of the constituency to become a candidate for the representation of their ward at the approaching municipal election. The respectful and urgent manner in which that 'request bad been made, coupled with, his own sense of duty, had induced him to comply—Though very much 'opposed to his inclination. He promised, in case they should do him the honour to return him as their representative, toexertkiroself to pro mote every measure calculated for their benefit and that of the town. (Hear, hear. , ) His political principles were strictly conservative—(cheers)—based upon the desire to regardvith reverence the sacred injunction of " Fear God and tumour the King," which led him to oppose infidelity, Popery, and radicalism, and to promote, by every means in bis. power, Protestantien, true 'liberty, and scriptural education. (Cheers.) But, notwithstanding his high con servative principles, yet, if any proved abuses should have crept into those institutions, which 'had been rendered venerable by antiquity. he was willing to rectify or correct them •, and whenever -be saw oppression, whether it pro ceeded from the radical or the •conservative side, he would ever be its most determined and decided enemy. (Loud and continued cheering.) Mr. Vernon proceeded et much further Jeragth with • the enunciation of his principles. Upon the motion of Mr. •VEKNoN, seconded by Mr. 'THOMAS ELLIOT, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman. and the meeting separated, after havingziven 'several rounds oftlieering and the Kentish fire. GREAT GEORGE WARD A meeting of the Consecrative electors of Great George Ward took place on Friday evening, at Mr. Jones's, the White Lion Inn, Great Georges-place, to nominate two representatives in the room of Mr. James Lawrence (created an alderman), and Mr. Cooper. The attendance was numerous, the room being crowded to ex i and those present in cluded the stauncheseConserva tives of the district, as well as many others of , the first re spectability. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE was unanimously called to the chair, mad was enthusiastically received. -He-regretted to state that Mr. G. H. Lawrence, was unavoidably ab sent ; bat that gentleman had sent a letter, which he (the chairman) doubted not would satisfactorily account for his not being present. He read a letter, in which the writer expressed his regret that the council shotild.lose the ser vices of Mr. Cooper, who tad throughout several years so I ably espoused the cause - to which they were - all so firmly attached,,—and strongly reccommended to the support of the electors the two gentlemen who would that night be proposedas candidates. Mr. G. H. Lawrencein conclu sion stated that his warmest wishes were with them, and that his beat services-should always be at the command of the conservatives of this and other watds. (The reading of the letter was -received with much -applause.) The Chairman proceeded to observe that as the council had thoughtvroper to elect him to fill the office of Alderman vacant by the resignation of Mr. Earle, another Court ' ceilor would have to be elected in his own room ; but before proceeding to the more immediate b us i ness o the eveniug, , be begged to thank the electors for the 'uniform kindness and respect which he had received at their hands, for the last eight years, during which be -had the honour of representing them in. the council. He hoped that they had ever found him faithful to the trust they had reposed in him, ,end although he might no longer be considered as their representative, he assured them that he should ever be attached to the interests of the •ward, and would in the station to which he was now called, endeavour to forward their interests with ,the same fidelity, and with all the-humble ability he could exert to •promote their welfare. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Lyon JONES said he had great pleasure in propos ing the first resolution, which-be read as follows :—" That the thanks of the burgesses are due, and are hereby given to James Lawrence, Esq., Joseph Cooper, Esq., and Thomas Royden, ;Esq., for their vigilant watchfulne s s over the interests of this ward ; and they can not allow this opportunity to pass without expressing their regret at the retirement of Joseph Cooper, E , q., whose conduct throughout has been such as to merit.the unqualified ap probation of this meeting, and of the burgesses of the ward generally." Mr. :ROBKRTSON seconded the resolution, and it was unanimously passed; after, which prolonged cheers were repeatedly given for Mr. Alderman !Lawrence, for Mr. Cooper, and for Mr. Royden. Mr. CoQcER then presented himself and was enthusi astically received. He said-that after the very flattering manner in which he .had been greeted, he never felt greater embarrassment than at the present moment, or more at a loss to express his gratitude to those around him. He had had the honour of representing the ward during the last six years, and nothing but peculiar circumstances would induce him to retire. He would not have come to that determination, if he had thought the ward in any danger, or that the electors would not be able to carry out their object triumphantly—however in convenient to himself. He had, however, expressed his wish to retire three years ago, and he trusted they would now excuseliim, as two gentlemen would be proposed who would, be-firmly believed, carry out the principles to which they were attached to their full extent. (Cheers.) On the former occasion of his wishing to retire, there was a difficulty in procuring good candidates, but that was now removed. The two gentlemen to be proposed were well worthy of their confidence. One of them, Mr. So thern, had been for fifteen years a resident in the ward, and his principles were known and appreciated. The other, Mr. George Hornhy, was equally .known and valued by them all, and he to tertained no doubt that these gentle men would act in a manner that would give entire satisfac tion to the ward. He bad therefore much pleasure in pro posing the following resolution :—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that George Green Hornhy, Esq., is a fit and proper parson to represent this Ward in the place of James Lawrence, Esq. ; and John Sothern, Esq., in the place of Joseph Cooper. Esq., both from their well known characters as men, arid their unswerving attach ment to true conservative principlef." . . . Mr. JAMES DEMPSEY a seconded the proposition, ex pressing his belief that the candidates would be found to give the utmost satisfaction to the ward. The resolution was unanimously carried Mr. WAGSTAFF then moved " That this meeting pledges itself to use all legal exertions to secure the return of both gentlemen at their respective elections, and that the following gentlemen form a committee for this pur pose, with power to add to their number :—Messrs. G. H. Lawrence, James Lawrence, Joseph Cooper, Thomas Royklen, William Birkett, Thomas Bold, Rigby, Robertson, T. Wagstaff, W. Wagstaff, John Mottram, James Ingram, James Tone, James Dempsey." Mr. TIibSTLE seconded the motion, which passed una nimously. Mr. Sorts ERN was then introduced to the meeting, and was received with loud cheers. He expressed himself in manly and feeling terms on the great honour conferred upon him by the electors—adding that he looked for their indulgence, as it was the first time he had add,-essed a I public assembly. He much regretted that they were so soon to lose the valuable services of his friend Mr. Cooper. For himself, he was a firm friend to the conservative cause, and strongly attached to the established church, the principles of which had been instilled into him from his childhood, .and from which he would never diverge. (Loud cheers.) . He concluded by stating that he had lived in the smith part cf the town for 15 years, and that if he had the high honour to be elected, he should ever devote his best exertions to promote their interests. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Hornhy had been unable to attend, owing to a mistake, be having understood that the meeting was to be on the previous night, and having on that night an engagement which he could not relin quish, Be ,Mr. H.) had, however, deputed Mr. Birkett to appear for him. (Cheers.) Mr. BrßxErr then came forward, and was received with great applause. He expressed his regret at the absence of Mr. Hornhy, owing to circumstances which that gentle man could not control. He had known him from a boy ; and he was not only a native of the town, bat the son end grandson of Liverpool tradesmen ; and from the inter course he (Hr. B.) had had with him. he felt assured he I rigid to state, that Mr. Horn by could not e present that evening, he would waise himself known to to electors in the interim previous to the election. (Cheers.) Mr. 1101111:y, who was a staunch conservative, had also authorised him to state, that be would support inviolate the present system of scriptural education par sued in the Corporation Schools, and would do his utmost to carry it out. (Cheers.) lie concluded by reading Mr. Hornby's address to the electors, just then printed, (and which will be found in another column ;) and said he should be glad, on behalf of Mr. Hornbv, to answer any questions that might be put relative to that gentleman. No question was put, with the exception of whether Mr. H. had any connexion with Mr. Hugh Hornby, which was answered in the negative, amidst much cheering. Mr. INGRAM, seconded by Mr. Sothern, moved the thanks of the meeting, in complimentary terms, to the chairman, which was carried by acclamation; after which the meeting gave three cheers for the chairman, the like compliment to Mr. Royden, and three groans for Dan O'Connell, and then separated. The election for a councillor, in the roost of Alderman Lawrence, will take place to-morrow, (Wednesday.) MEETING OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF BIRKENHEAD. An adjourned meeting of the commissioners of the township of Birkenhead, was held in the commissioners' room, Birkenhead. on Thursday, for the purpose of confirm ing the appointment of a superintendent to the police department, as well as that of a surveyor of buildings for the township. The night was very stormy, and there was but a thin attendance of members. Mr. Jackson, in the absence of J. D. Case Esq., took the chair. The follow ing members were present : Messrs. Wm. Jackson, Cole, Adamson, Kerr, M'Nicoll, Appleton, Hitide, Hammond, Dale, Pim, and Bentham. Mr. MALLABY stated the object of the meeting, and said that the committee appointed to fix upon a superin tendent of the police were unanimous in recommending Mr. Samuel Moss to that situation. Mr. Mallaby then read the report of the committee on the subject. It stated the various duties which the superintendent would have to perform. Independent of his services as super intendent of police, he was to act as collector of rates, and treasurer of the township. His salary was to be £l4O per annum, and he was to find adequate surety for the due performance of his respective situations. Mr. BENTHAM thought the arrangement a very good one. He was, however, of opinion, that as the collector on some days would only collect a few shilling, it would not be necessary to give him the trouble of going over to Liverpool to place it in the bank. The CHAIRMAN said, that there wonld be feat days in which the collector would not receive £lO. The arrange ments, however, had been come to in order to put the township to as little expense as possible. Mr. HINDS said, that the collecting of taxes was always a disagreeable occupation, and the less expense the town ship was put to the better. The CHAIRMAN said, that the committee had come to the determination of appointing Mr. Samuel Moss for a certain time to see if he would answer. It was, however, his (the Chairman's) opinion, that they could not find a more suitable person. _ Mr. BENTHAM begged to say., that when he had, on a former occasion, opposed the appointment of Mr. Moss, it was not that he thought that person unfit for the situe. tion, but he thought his appointment at the time was placing an improper power in the hands of the board. He had, however, since come to the conclusion that they had done right, and thought they could not find a more suita ble person. The appointment of Mr. Moss was then confirmed, The'dii AIRMAN said, that the next business of the board was the appointment of a surveyor of buildings for the township. There had been five applications to the committee, three of whom were architects, and the other 'two were engineers. The committee had fixed upon Mr. Walter Scott, architect, for the situation, at a salary of £250 per annum. The appointment was confirmed by the board, after which they adjourned. At . the Police-court, on Friday, two publicans were fined 60s. and 20s. each for infringing the law. One was acquitted, as was one beerhouse-keeper ; and -two of the latter 'were fined 20s. each, and one 40s. CAUTION TO SERVANTS.—One morning last week, during the temporary absence of the servant, who had gone for a pail of water, leaving the front door open, some evil disposed person entered the house of Mr. Godfrey, Renshaw-street, and todk thence two aver-coats. A CAUTION TO REPEALERS.—The directors of the Liverpool docks have given notice, that if any of the men employed either in the docks or in their police shall take any part in the Repeal movement of O'Connell, they shall be discontinued from any further occupation in their ser vice. The same notice has been given at Bristol, where a great number of Irish are also employed.—[This para graph has been going the round of the papers, though there is not the slightest foundation for it.] EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT NEW YORIC.—A robbery yeas committed on the 3d ult., by breaking into the pre mises of E. and S. S. Rockwell, of Broadway, New York, the particulars of which reached Liverpool by the Caledo nia, on the 17th instant. It appears that the thieves escaped with 108 valuable watches, 60 diamond rings, 60 diamond breastpins, 25 gold rings set with stones, 36 gold pencil cases, 30 gold guard chains, 20 fob chains, 36 gold bracelets, a number of acqua-marine, amethyst, and topac necklaces and brooches, black enamel brooches, and about 15 dozen of silver forks and spoons, &c. &c. One thou sand dollars are offered for their recovery. fyrANtstt CATTLE.—Another cargo of Spanish cattle arrived in Liverpool fromNorunna last week. They are said to be the finest yet received from Spain. and are worth from twelve to fifteen pounds a-head. The pre vious lot proved to he very good catsle when slaughtered, the-meat being of fine quality and with the proper mix ture of fat and lean. From the continuance of these im portations, it is reasonable to conclude that the trade is not unprofitable even at present prices, although they are said to be the lowest that have been known for a dozen years, Should prices rise to their former level, the im portations from Spain would doubtless increase consider ably. CORINTHIAN ESTARLDIHMENT, LORD-STREET, Great as have been the improvements of late in the prin. cipal thoroughfares of this town, none, we are justified in saying, can be compared with those just effected by Mr. Tuton, in the above establishment, which has, under his correct taste and good judgment, become a most pleasing and conspicuous object from all points whence a view of it can be obtained. The centre squares of plate glass each measure ten feet six, being the largest hitherto introduced into this town. The interior has undergone extensive alterations, improvements, and embellishments; and, al together, the premises may fairly vie with any other of the kind in or out of Liverpool. We trust the respected proprietor will meet with an increased support comtnen surate with 'his great outlay. The establishmen is again in full operation.—Albion. THE TURN-OUT SAILORS AT LIVERPOOL.-It will be recollected that the sailors of Liverpool made several public demonstrations, a short time since, against the enormous exactions to which they were subjected, as they alleged, by the shipping masters of the port for obtaining them berths on board vessels. They have at length suc ceeded in accomplishigg one of the oblects they had in view, namely, that-of 'Laying a general registry office es tablished, where they could have their names and charac ters entered on the Looks on paying the small sum of is. each, and where the captains could resort and select their hands. The General Registry office was opened in Liver pool on Thursday morning, under the auspices of the Seamen's Friend Society, and bids fair to be eminently successful. The sailors had a great meeting in Liverpool on Wednesday night, at the Queen's Theatre to celebrate their triumph over the shipping masters and to pledge themselves to unity of action and determination of con duct. LUNATICS IN THE WORKIIOUSE.—OH Friday last, some conversation took place (partly privately) between Mr. Rushton, at the Police -court, and several of the overseers of the parish relative to the keeping in the Workhouse of seven poor lunatics, who, it appeared, had been sent home from the Asylum at Lancaster. Mr. Rushton said that it was not proper or legal to keep them there, where they could have no proper medical attend ance from which a cure or alleviation of their disease could be expected. It was stated in explanation that there was no room for them in the Liverpool Asylum. Mr. Rushton contradicted this allegation—stated that he had made personal enquiry of the governor of that es tablishment, and found that he had never been applied to at all on the subject, and that he had room for ten patients. He further gave notice to the overseers, that if the unfortunate individuals were not removed on the following day, he should inflictithe full penalty of the law on them (the overseers). The parties thereupon left the court. NEW LIFE-PRESERVER.—lnventions for the preser vation of life, in cases of shipwreck or disaster at sea, have of recent years been t ery numerous, and several of them highly ingenious, and apparently of great practical utility. One of the best, if we may judge from its appear ance, and the ease and readiness with which it may be available in cases, or in apprehension, of danger, is that now on sale at the Union Cloth Hall, North John-street, and a specimen of which may be seen for a few days at the office of this paper. It consists of a handsome double breasted waistcoat, of fine woollen tartan, lined, or rather doubly cased within, with strong patent air-tight c l o th, which may be immediately inflated by the breath through a tube attached to each side near the top, and which may be instantly raised to the month on an emergency. When thus filled with air, it is capable of sustaining any one in the water, even though he were no swimmer, and weighed upwards of 20 stone. It is a garment, moreover, which would evidently be exceedingly warm and comfortable on shipboard, and withal very becoming. (See advert.) SINGULAR ACCIDENTS PROS! LIGHTNING.—During the thunderstorm on Thursday week the house of Mr. J. Langshaw, farmer, at Speke, was struck by lightning. The electric fluid, it is said, entered through the window, knocking part of it down. It passed into a room in which Mrs. Langshaw's brother was sleeping, and must have crossed very near to him, for it knocked out several of his teeth and singed all the hair of his head. The walls of the apartment were blackened, many articles of apparel which hung therein were perforated as if riddled by shot, and a chest of drawers completely shattered to pieces. The lightning next ascended to tile lower part of the building. tore up the floor of the milk house, smashed the vessels that contained the cream, hut. did not touch the crockery-ware on the shelves. Mrs. Langshaw was seated at the kitchen fire when the fluid r assed through that apartment.

The most serious phase of the state of feeling in Ireland is the implication of the great body of the priesthood in time agitation, and their contemplation of violence as the means of working it out to a triumphant issue. The priests of the old school, most of them of foreign educa tion, held themselves for a time aloof; but they were given to understand that a loss of temporal comforts and spiri tual power would be the result of a perseverance in their isolation ; and they ultimately submitted. The eleves of Maynooth, however, most of them the sons of small far mers, and allied in feeling with the mass of the peasantry, have entered into the agitation without hesitation, and with determined resolution to rush to their purposes, through all the risks and bloodsheds of a rebellion. The ____ .eeeter s shop feelings of this class are correctly represented by the fol- I go down into the e-I , lowing extract from the speech of the Rev.

(Tremendous cheering and waving of hats.) This disposition of the priesthood has given the repeal movement all the weight of a religious cause in the eyes of a superstitious people; and furnishes a clue to the causes of that excitement, which Englishmen and the world have always set down as resulting from a disposition to be gulled by mingled folly and knavery.
